That's these guys, I don't know about them. - Oh, professional. - I do this. - I am also a professional. - I do this every week, we do. - You look like a French painter. (laughing) - Are you rolling? Where are we at, V.J.? No, you're good, you're good. You're good. - That's so good. - I actually went to the Getty yesterday, what's they goss? I look just like that guy. Is it his fan? - The goss? - I think he were just calling you the gay. - It's a pain boundary. - It is. - So. - He gassed. - He said he gassed. - He said he gassed. - Guys, as if you haven't noticed, you're watching Geekscape. This is the podcast, all about movies, video games and comics, news and reviews. I have some guests all over the damn place. I think this is episode 47, which is awesome. - Shouldn't you know that? - So you're watching Geekscape episode 47. - That's awesome. - We're almost to a year. The picnic is in two weeks. I know you guys are excited to see the results of our polls, which is like best guests, best episode. Not this one. Best, whatever, interview, best movie, all that. So we're going to have a ton of stuff in two weeks. - I'm thinking we could sweep. - I think we could sweep. - Well, you guys were in episode 13. - Yeah, that was the bad one, right? - Where we were in bed together. And now you guys are here. - I was on a mess for that. So I don't really remember. - You guys are back in LA. These are sweaty robot guys for the uninitiated. They have a, how would you get, go ahead and describe yourselves to the audience. - Go ahead. - I guess we're just. - For the uninitiated. - Go ahead. - Sort of indie filmmakers from Philly. We used to do this video podcast and then we sort of stopped. And we made some shorts. And now we've finished our first feature film. And we're here showing it around, getting good. - Doing a little promotion. - That is what cheese thinks of sweaty robot. Just big snores. - Just doing right on. - Basically, we're trying to get, turn this from our little hobby of making movies into doing this like real. Which brings you guys to Los Angeles. To give you a backstory on our relationship, I remember you guys were listening to Geekdrum. And I got this email. You literally are going to do that during the whole episode. We were talking about somebody smashing a plastic water bottle and Graham's really doing it. (laughing) - I think I'm home. - I'm still much older. - I think I'm grounded in it. - Something on Graham. We were joking about somebody doing that the whole episode and he's literally doing that the whole episode. - It's like trying to eat a bag of chips in a high school. - Hey, can you take that away from him? He's like a child. Don't be a child. People are like, where is Graham been? That's where Graham's been. So yeah, we got an email from you guys and you were saying, check our stuff out. We think you guys were funny. Hopefully you think we were funny. And I thought you guys were funny. And then you guys said, I've written a script for a feature. Do you want to read it? Not really, but it looks like you just emailed it to me. (laughing) - That's already 10. - Hey, shirt, just come on. - But you read the script before it was made into a movie. I didn't even read it. I was like, there's no way these guys are gonna be able to make the movie. There's absolutely, like-- - Thanks for that. - Without a confidence. - I told you, I told you, there's no way you guys are gonna be able to finish it. - Sure. - Doubting Johnny. - And here you are in Los Angeles, the finished little movie that we watched yesterday. - Then this little movie. - Not quite finished. You guys, we did like a focus group yesterday. - Yes, there was a focus group. - That was nice. - And you guys have suggestions, go back to Philly, but it's close. - Yeah, it's your films of you, Johnny. - None. I've been in love with feature films. - No, sports. - Oh yeah, sports, which is gonna be a double outlet. - Oh, this, no. - It's gonna be Mr. Hollywood over here. - Who is that? - It's got it. - Who's that? - I don't remember. - I don't remember. - I'd better not be Genevieve. - Hold on one second. - Oh. - Oh. - Yeah. - It's gonna be a thing, though. - I know. - That's a thing, yeah. - Who's Genevieve? - Graham. - Is that the comedy troupe? - No, Graham's comedy troupe? - Graham's comedy troupe? - I was trying to be a good-- - So they were at the-- - I'm trying to be a good friend here. We go... - Go ahead. - Go ahead. - Go ahead. - Girls don't watch this show. - Girls don't watch this show. And the ones who do? Girls don't watch this show. - So we went out-- - Oh, stop himself. You fucking asshole. Keep that in your story. - Okay. We went out to this improv comedy place. I don't know if we're allowed to say names. - Go for it. Go for it. - All right, so we go out to the improv place. And it's actually-- - You guys know, Graham's been doing improv. He had a show last night. You guys go to see him. - So we went to the show to go hang out with Graham and see another guy we know there. And, you know, as I tend to do, I gravitated towards an attractive young lady. And just... Hey, so, you like comedy? Improvisational comedy? - I like that you're heading to the beds considering she's at an improv club. - Yeah. - Are you interested in improvisational comedic things? And whatnot? - So then what happened? - Yeah, I'm pretty sure she is a part of it too. - Yeah, she is. She totally is. - Did you give her your number? She gave you her number? - No, we were talking. And I was like, "Oh, she's pretty cute." So then Graham ends up being friends with her. And I guess performs with her. And then after the show, I was like, "Where's that girl at, Graham?" And he's like, "No, don't." I was like-- (laughing) "Oh, yeah, don't do that." - And I was like, "Oh, I didn't know, dude." And he was like, "Oh, no." And he was like, "Well, why don't you go say goodbye?" I was like, "Why don't I not go say goodbye "because all I'm gonna wanna do is hit on her." And I like you more than I like her. So... - Well, interesting enough, don't cock-bock my boy Graham's girl. - That's what I, obviously, I did not cock-bock him. - But then the first thing Graham said to me was, Eric, let me try to steal my girl. (laughing) That's the first one. I was like, "Nice to see you today, too, Graham." - I'm glad you don't have any problems. - I thought I did the right thing. - But you haven't used the way bad intentions. - Yeah. - Yes, bad intentions, but I hedged their, put those bad intentions away because... - He went home and mastered it. - I love you. - In a hotel room with five other guys thinking about your girl. - Was not. - By not acting on it. That's good. - And I say to you, Graham Douglas, good luck, sir. - All right. - I heard you's quite a looker. (laughing) - Thanks, guy, from the 40s. (laughing) - Well, look at the gams on that day. - She's a bit blah-blah-blah. - But anyway, this is actually about movies and video games. - Some, no, no, no, I'm glad that it's not a thing. I'm glad that the trust is there. - First and foremost, this show is about being a geek. And we've just established that. - And picking up on girls. - Yeah. - We've got some movies that are coming out and have come out. The first one we want to talk to you about is one that Gilmore and I saw. We have some interviews with the cast and director coming up next week. It's Southland Tales. It's Richard Kelly's follow-up to Donnie Darko. A lot of you guys love Donnie Darko. A lot of you guys think is a great film. I think it's a very good film. And so he ended up making the Southland Tales. It's got The Rock, Sarah Michelle Geller, song Sean Williams, Scott. Half of the cast that's ever been on it. Sarah Live is in this film. - We'd say The Rock. - Yeah. - Okay. - Yeah. - Right, John. - Yeah, basically it's-- - I like to come. - It's in 2008 where the War on Terror has spiraled out of control to the point where everything we do is controlled through the computers and the environmental crisis has kind of spun off the rails. You go ahead and give the microphone a good one. - Can I borrow a feeling? Am I wrong in this? It is-- - What? - No, no, no, no, no, no. - No, no, no, no, no. - Brian sit down. Brian sit down. - Yeah, what are we talking about? - We're putting it on the camera. - So basically that's, am I wrong? - Well, no, well, yeah, what happened is that the-- - Down? - Okay, sorry, I'm used to projecting a lot 'cause I have to talk. - That's good. - All right, but what happened is that, yeah, the environmental crisis is going on. It's basically everyone that hates George Bush right now, it's what their worst fear is, has come true. And Wallace Sean, the guy that says, "Inconceivable from the Princess Bride, "he's some guy who invented this way "to use the ocean waves "to basically power the world. "They don't need fossil fuels anymore." And he figured out, but he might have some kind of scheme. And the movie is actually about the rock who is an X actor who's sort of an Arnold Schwarzenegger-esque actor with ties to the Republican party. - Wake up at the middle of the desert. Those are, quite remember how he got there and starts to piece it together. It's tied in with Sean Williams Scott's character, who, Sean Williams Scott plays two characters. They're twins. And guys, if you're confused now, you know what, just don't go see the movie. - Okay, no, but you know what, when we even, okay, 'cause it's not just us. It's not like we're retards or anything here. When the rock walked, you know, we were at the press junket or whatever, and we're all sitting down, waiting outside the room. And the, you know, Dwayne Johnson walks by and he walks into the room. He's just like, "Guys, just don't ask me "what the movie is about." (laughing) - I think he said it playfully 'cause-- - I mean, he did, but I mean, he said it playfully within, you know, for a reason. - By the end of the movie, you know what happened. - You know what happened. - It's clear. - It's clear in the same way Donnie Arco was clear, that where this movie is different is, you don't care. In Donnie and Arco, there's some accessibility there, 'cause everyone-- - And it's a joke. - Yeah. - The movie's a fucking joke. - Right. - I mean, how did you feel about the casting? I mean, seeing, yeah, seeing all those comedic, 'cause not only that, I mean, we had Sherio Terry, we had Christopher Lambert. - I love it. - We had-- - I love you. - We had some Lambert. - But Sherio Terry and Christopher Lambert and John Lovitz and all these people and Amy Poehler, all these people are playing really, really serious roles. - Really serious left wing, like-- - Exactly, they're all extremist. - Right, so it's not a dark comedy or is it-- - Not even. - It's a comedy about the apocalypse. - It's a satire about the apocalypse. - Darko. - So basically, this is a movie that really tries to be along the same lines as a movie like Brazil, a movie like, you know, what else would you put in here? - I mean, well, the way I described it is that it tries to be almost lynching only. It doesn't have the eye for, I mean, for just images and it just basically, it's not as good. It doesn't come off as something that I would wanna see. I would really, really wanna see again. - Oh yeah, Justin Timberlake was also in it. - You were kind of like actor, I like him. - I don't like him. Did you see Black Snake Mone? - I did. - You did? You liked him in Black Snake Mone? - But he was a good actor. - He was a piece of shit in Black Snake Mone, I think. - I think he was a fine actor. I just thought that movie was boring. This movie is also-- - It's two and a half hours long. - It's two and a half hours long. You're not gonna really enjoy it. - But the thing is that I can make, I can see how some of like some of my pretentious like film friends would really, really like this movie. Like I can see how they can make a case for actually liking this movie. - I don't know. - It's a movie that I think, it's a movie that I think if you're a film, if you're a fan of film, you should kind of go ahead and just watch it and see what you think. - In the same way that you watch those French New Wave films in film school. - Yeah. - Movies like Weekend and like a true film movie that has the political underpinnings, but it also has like these far sickle pieces in it. And it's a little bit out there. - You say far sickle. - Yeah, far sickle. - Far sickle. Far sickle. - Far sickle. - I have some far sickles. - It's sort of in the vein like those kind of movies, but I don't think it succeeds because of the fact that you're watching everything spool out in front of you. And there's nothing to put it together. Before you guys came over, I was watching that movie The Machinist with Christian Bale. - Oh yeah, I never got around to watch it. I heard it was correct. - The movie's actually really good. - Really? - But it's one of these movies where strange things are happening, but they're happening at a pace that you can actually swallow and absorb it and understand it and move on. And it's leading you from point A to point B. It's things are very clear, even when they go as strange as they can possibly go. You're still with it. And this movie from the get go, you're not into it, you're not understanding it, and you have no chance of catching up. - Well, I was with the movie the whole time, and I was really, really entertained. That's why I'm kind of conflicted. Because I was really entertained the whole time, I'm like, oh, but then at the same time, I'm like, the whole time, just this sucks. This is shitty, but the whole time, I'm like, oh wait, I was like really into it. I have no idea why. - You're entertained and-- - What are you doing, you're not here? - I thought you were trying to hang up, right? - Yeah, that is. - No, but he's just banging a fat girl. You're like, it is like banging a fat girl. You're just like, I'm having sex. But it's with a fat girl. - Brian, you may be in a room where a lot of people haven't had to stoop to fat girls. - Wow. - Wait a really out yourself. - Oh, wow, wait out yourself. Speak, and he said Seinfeld, I saw another movie last night. - What did you see last night? - I saw a B movie. - Oh, you're the guy. - I was actually, I was actually really excited about seeing B movie. And here's the thing about B movie. I was looking forward to it because it's Jerry Seinfeld, and I like Jerry Seinfeld was a great sitcom. I'm getting a bunch of-- - It's got a painful people listen to period. - And to a mate, honey, funny stuff. (laughing) - I really, I really wish Seinfeld would just go back into hiding. It's like go back, date, high school girls. Nobody's gonna bother you. - Too much. Too much. Way too much. It over hyped itself, but here's the thing. - Yeah, would you see the box out returns? - Yeah. - Oh, maybe it wasn't over hyped. - But it's gonna make that money anyway. - Yeah. - You know what, guys? It didn't do Shrek numbers. It didn't do the numbers that-- - Well, here's the thing. I think they were hoping that it would be their next Shrek. You know, it would be their next original character who would come in and, you know, warm the hearts of children. But the movie's a fucking mess. Like, I really enjoyed it. It had a bunch of good jokes, but it was like six Seinfeld episodes with an anthropomorphic theme put together, just like put together and like just a melting pot. - Considering I only watched the Seinfeld season finale. - Really? - That's weird though. I think you're in the minorities. - That's weird that I wouldn't wanna watch this movie. - Maybe not in this room, but I think you're in the minority. - How am I weird? - Only cartoon out during Thanksgiving. - Gilmore, half our audience doesn't like you're annoying boys. Why would I put up with Seinfeld's annoying boys? - Well, because that doesn't make any sense. - Did I say it? Like, why would I tune? Like, dude, you show up. Are you a Seinfeld fan? What do you think of Seinfeld? Brian, Brian, are you a huge, do you want to carry? - Brian, I can't get rid of this motherfucker. - Yeah, well, I think Peruvian do that. It's way further. - Peruvian doozy has them, it's amazing. I think it's great. - Yeah, it doesn't have somebody going, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah." - That'd be it. - So later, David's voice is annoying too. - Yeah, it is. - Okay, then, then, guess what? I've never seen. This is what I got, hey, guess what, not your show. This is what I got. I heard from the creator of Seinfeld, I've never seen Peruvian doozy has them. No interest, no way I'm going to ever watch that show. That's enough. - Man, what is the matter with you? - I just think it's nuts that they had the on NBC, like, every time they had the, you know, the B-movie movie. - Yeah, that was really annoying. And those were huge. - It made me stop watching NBC show. - It was getting pretty into the TV show, too. - That was like, I think I stopped watching the office one night or I almost turned it off. I'm like, I don't want to go to commercial break 'cause I don't want to watch it. - Was he funny on that "30 Rock Graham"? - Jerry Seinfeld was funny. - Yeah, well, here's the thing. If you're not a Jerry Seinfeld fan, you won't like this movie because it doesn't stand alone and it doesn't have, you know, just the general. Most people like this that Shrek has. Like, it's not as accessible as Shrek or as a movie like that because it doesn't have an actual, it's about a bunch of different things. - The boys in the audience. - And then so, now this has been going on the entire time. - Yeah, I wonder if you can hear it. - Guess what else is going on? You're talking. - But anyways, see it if you're a Seinfeld fan because it has a lot of really funny moments and it's cute and it's adorable. But if you don't like Jerry Seinfeld like these guys, you probably won't like it. - I mean, do you guys think I'm gonna throw another planet 'cause I don't like Jerry Seinfeld? - Yeah, you're absolutely insane. What the hell does the matter with you? - Check out, check out. - Go ahead and stand over here. - Wait, tag team, tag team, who am I doing? - Hey, Brian, Brian, you can go home now. Oh. You can sit over here. Look at this. It's all right. I've had some Italian ass in my face before. - Is it good? - What's up? - What's up, Nick? Nick plays the title character in the sweaty robot first feature film. Why don't you talk a little bit about your character in the movie, buddy? - Well, we don't want to get by too much away but the title of the movie is "Happy Birthday Harris Malden," which wasn't the front of the floor, I don't think. And I guess you can call it a dramedy about a character named Harris Malden who makes his facial hair by drawing it on with a black magic marker. So, that's all we'll give you. - Can you do that from now on, Brian? - Don't sit defensively over there. Find the camera towards this guy. - Whoa. - Go ahead. - I'm going home and bringing my clothes. - I'm touching my muscles. - That's great. - I like touching your muscles too. - It's like, you know what? I used to like leaving shit. I never buy pillow for the tooth fairy but that didn't exist either. - That's a good zinger analogy. - I gotta wait a second. - Hey, they're real quick. What will income my audience possibly see this movie? You guys can put in festivals and get on that. - Right now it's entered into Sundance and Slamdance and we're gonna enter in a few more. - Depending on Becca, South by Southwest. - We don't hear back until early December. - You don't hear back until it's too late to apply to other festivals. - And if it doesn't get into any of those, we'll probably just be doing our own screenings on New York, Philly and Los Angeles. - Where would people check out? Check to see where the screenings are. - sweatyrobot.com. - There you go. sweatyrobot.com and also there's a ton of shorts. There's a really amazing geek centric short that you guys did called Hero Worship, which is amazing. I just gotta tell you guys, it's-- - Thank you. - Definitely my favorite thing that you guys have done, everything else, it's cool. (laughing) But yeah, keep checking sweatyrobot.com. Go check out that Hero Worship. - Am I sitting in a weird position? - You're not? - I just don't like you. - Sexual, yeah. (laughing) - It's cool. So that was our movie reviews. I hope you guys liked, I liked your film though. I think you guys are very good actors. I think you should all move out here 'cause I know you guys could work. You see crappy actors out here working. - Yeah, it's pretty painful actually. Bad acting is one of the worst things. - It's good. We need you to put a stop to it. You did a good job. - Thank you. All right, you know, I try. - I'm gonna try. - Hey, John, help me, I'm funny. - You were okay. (laughing) No, you were good. Holland was really funny in the film. Vayner than I've seen you in a lot of the skits. - Let's just bring Matt Sanchez in here real quick. - Matt Schott. - Matt Schott the movie. Why don't you wait? - Matt can just hop in. - Matt can make me a nut. You wanna, is he gonna be that sort of thing? - Yeah, you can tag, you were, you told your really long winded story and I'm doing a thing dirty stuff. (laughing) - We're gonna get into movie news. - And this is old, this is Matthew Sanchez. - Hi. - Another member of sweaty robot and he made the movie look as beautiful as it does and on all our short films. - So hopefully, when you see it, you'll think of me and this face. - And our face and what is my face. - Well then this face looking like this. 'Cause this is a fake mustache. - Is your hand clean? - No, I just wanted you to smell. - I just took it in a hanks booty. - Hank and his little cheese. He smells like a pound of probe alone. It's sitting next to me. - So, movie news, we talked about the rock. You guys who are fans of Captain Marvel, the DC Captain Marvel. Oh look how excited you got for the Marvel Captain Marvel. - Yeah. - That's your favorite character. - That's what's one of the, besides Captain America, Batman Captain Marvel. - Captain Marvel. - Janice Bell. - But you know, that's Marvel. - Yeah, so you know the, the Captain Marvel, you know, she's a Sam character. So the rock is supposedly gonna play Black Adam, which is like his villain. - That's a decent kick. I have to ask you a question, but you saw the rock at that press junkie. Is he as scary looking in person as he looks on camera now? - I came out with a man crush. - Really? - Yeah. - You went in with a man crush. (laughing) - I came out of plastic. His face was really, if you look at like Rocky Mivy, a WWE wrestler, you're like, "Oh, there's a kinda small one guy." You look at him now, it's like what happened in your face. - Yeah, he looks like a toy. He's too perfect. - He's an action figure. - Like a real doll. - But he's really nice. He's really presentable. He's, he carries himself well. - Shower to rush his teeth though. - You know what I mean? Like, you guys will see the interviews next week. I think he's a really nice guy, really, like you. - Just practice. - He's good. So we have that to look forward to. There's only supposed to be one conversation going on in the room, but that's cool. - He's a TV show. - So we got this, Graham's excited about the possibility of Peter Jackson and Neil. How do you pronounce this last name? Blum. - Does it sound that way? - What is it? Blum camp? - Blum camp. - Blum camp? Blumkin? (laughing) So Peter Jackson and Neil Blumkin. I think that's when you put your nuts back over your penis to make it look like a toad. (laughing) - I thought it was when someone blew you while they were taking a shit. - Oh yeah. Okay, well, we just found the perv in the room. Thanks for that. You can't throw him a little distraction. He corrects you. You know and know that he's a sexual predator. (laughing) So Mr. Blumkin and Peter Jackson have been working to get the Halo movie. It may not happen as soon as we want it to, but they're working on a phone called District 9 for him to direct, which is another science fiction type movie. - We're not doing it. - We don't know much about what. But we watched "Kingdom, King Kong" whenever "King Kong" made a movie recently. That was the most atrocious thing I've ever seen in my life. - You can't do this. - Yes. - I don't get it. - It's five I've ever seen. (laughing) - I hated that movie. I loved it. - I enjoyed the movie. - You fucking loved it. - It was the ice skating that-- - I mean, it's not in my top fucking 20. - I just felt the act. I mean, maybe it turns us better on the big screen, but I just thought the acting was really poor for the first, the whole movie. (laughing) - The whole first-- - The best part was "King Kong." - Yeah. - And it took forever to see him. It was like a board and board. - Like the acting's kind of stunted in that movie. It's kind of, isn't it? - Someone forgot to tell Jack Black that you can't just be Jack Black. Like, well hello, let me tell you about a King Kong picture. Like, calm down, dude. It's not-- - Calm down. (laughing) - Like he ever calms down. Now that he's doing all these like drama films with like Nicole Kidman and something like that. - Someone told him that he's not a good actor. He's a funny guy, but he's not a good actor. - Wow, your opinions are coming out in full force. Yeah, that's good. How do you think the A-point well though, right? - Except for when they were cut to his close up and he was totally not the same size when they cut to the wide. Like his head and shoulders were in the close up and then the widest shoulders were looking for order. I don't know. - Oh, so we were talking about this, yesterday I showed the boys this new trailer for the Golden Compass. I'm gonna play it for you guys under our dialogue. This is the movie with Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman where they have to protect the child who has a golden object, which is basically every fantasy movie made since 1995 is what I'm guessing. Like this new wave of fantasy movies, you gotta protect something from a kid like a kid or a kid like person has. - It's like how platforming video games need to collect something. These types of kid-based movies, you have to protect a thing. - But it's tiny. It's like a watch or a ring or something like that. - They got the one based off those darkest rising books where they have to, yep. (laughing) - No one saw that movie. - Did you see that movie Eric? - I know, but I read the books when I was little and I, at one point was like, how would I get to adapt these, you know, as being someone who would write a thing, like a movie possibly? - They made one of them. - And it would be impossible because we're not in the industry. - Um, so I did a fan fiction version of it. It's on my computer. - Flash fiction. - You know what's funny? - It was awesome. - I wanna know how much of our audience actually writes fan fiction. And that would be a really good threat as to post links to your fan fiction. I know some kid wrote some short stories and posted them. - You got it, yeah. - And post it. - So some kid, some kid on our forum, sorry I forgot your name, buddy. He wrote some story, short stories and got a bunch of those geekscapes to read 'em. - Is it about Mario having sex with the princess? - I didn't read 'em, I didn't read 'em, but guys, if you guys are writing your short stories, if you're writing some fan fiction, definitely post links on the geekscape forum. Start at thread. That's geekscape.net/ forums. That would actually be really interesting to read responses to that stuff. - Jim Will wrote something. - Jim Will wrote a whole book. - Yeah, no, no, we'll book and we're in it. And so are you. - Wait, we're in it. - Yeah, I did write a fan fiction. - Fucking. - Wait. - If you put it over on the revision three forums, like her phone with Ryan. - No, no, no, no, don't do that. - No, he put it over on the revision three forums. We're in it and everyone from all the revision three shows and we're in it, everyone's in it. And it's some weird medieval thing. - That is so weird. - It's kind of silly. - I know, it's kind of a story about these guys on a nerd show, but they weren't on the show. They were actually dwarves and fighting. - That's what it's like. - I think they, John, laid Gilmore down. - No, no, no, no, no. - Oh, yeah. - But please, I don't want to read that. I want to read Gilmore, laid Johnny down. - I remember, I remember. I think I was Friar, I think I was Friar Gilmore. - I could see that. - I could definitely see that. - Yeah. - Can hop it? - Tell them about your fan fiction. - So, I'm not interrupting this, but I have a really embarrassing fan fiction story, which will probably make me look like the biggest loser ever on the planet Earth. And you're saying like, no, there's a bad, none of this is bad. - But you got some of the Captain America shirt though, so. - Well, that's true. - That's why he went out and got laid with a little Captain America shirt on. - I didn't get laid with it, 'cause the person didn't do it. (laughing) It wasn't all like that. Let's not, yeah, I bet it's good. - Yeah, 'cause she watches this show. - No, his girlfriend back home though. - No, no, no, no, it's not. - There's a difference between getting laid and talking to a girl successfully and just having a conversation. - Sorry, to nerds, what? - You talk to a girl that's getting laid, right? - It's getting laid, right? - It's a girl that's successfully. - I get laid a lot. I got laid at the Starbucks, right? - No. - I just peed out of this thing. What are you talking about? - Yeah, you're the friend of the house. - Why would I ever do anything else with it? - Pea, duh. - Okay, so here we go. I was a fan of power rangers when I was young. - Dope, dope power rangers. - Who would you be recovering from the pee? - I was a fan of power. I was a pretty big fan of power rangers when I was young. - Put that again, who wasn't? - And that jimberly. - So after they made Tommy the White Ranger, I was like, this is bullshit. So I wrote a script called "The Fall of the White Light" where the red ranger has to save the white ranger and becomes the leader again. And I wrote it in cursive by hand on the sleeve paper. (laughing) And it was like 30 pages, it was like 30 pages of loose leaf and front end back, front end back, front end back. And I sent it to a high-em-sub-bot and the creator of, you know, like some band of him and power rangers in. My mom was like, do you wanna make a copy of that? I was like, no, no, no, no. (laughing) 'Cause when he opens the package and he reads this script and says, this is brilliant, numero uno. Numero dos, I need this guy to be a power ranger. Let's fly him out. (laughing) But actually, he never did anything with it. And he made a letter like, thanks. - How old do you think? - How old were you? - I think it was in seventh grade. - So right there, you were 11 or 12. - Yeah, I think you might be able to. - I was, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - The age group. - Unless you were held back a couple of grades, you were 11 or 12. - I was 15, no. (laughing) - Well, that was actually a power ranger's wild. The one that's on TV now, wild horse. I wrote a script recently. (laughing) - And niggas. - Oreos, the Red Ranger. (laughing) - That's robots. - Just kidding. (laughing) And I re-prized my role as Rita Repulsa. - Did you ever maul and meet them at all, ever? - Oh, here's another funny story of that. (laughing) So it was the St. Nicholas of Tolentine. That was the capital I went to. - Okay. - The St. Nicholas of Tolentine, fall bizarre. And I was looking at the flyer and it says, "An appearance by the Red Ranger." And I nearly shipped myself. I was like, "Ain't she?" That's my Elisa. And she, Jason the Red Ranger, will be at the bazaar. I'm gonna give him the script. (laughing) So I call, I call St. Nicholas of Tolentine. I'm like, "So I heard a lot of Red Ranger's gonna be there. "Is it the real Red Ranger?" And they're like, "Yep, bro, Red Ranger." I was like, "Oh, here it is. "Here's my moment of glory." I show up. There's this fucking guy in a Red Ranger constantly. Giant-sized Red Ranger helmet. And I'm like, "What are my script in hand?" I'm like, "Ooh." I'm like, "No." They can imagine like the actor who played the Red Ranger. No, it was just a guy. It wasn't even like a real Power Ranger costume. I was like, "What is he even wearing?" And I was like, "How can you lie to people?" And I said, "The Red Ranger will be present." Imagine if it was the actor that played the Red Ranger. And you were like, "Excuse me, sir. "I have this sweet way." Who now accidentally does. Gay porn. No way. No way. No way. Wait, really? Austin saying John or something like that? Jason? Yeah. Jason the Red Ranger now does gay porn. Crispin, Wachilda's family. So all my child and heroes are slowly becoming the worst human worst human beings. I love what you're saying, and Jason is like one of the worst human beings. It's okay. Okay. Before you jump the conclusions, the gay porn industry is actually frowned upon by that other porn industry because they don't use protection and they don't test right X-T-E's. So it is, it is. So it is negative connotation with gay porn beyond how you set your body. I knew that statistic. Thank you very much. Thank you. That's what defending is bigotry. So can we pause?

Vijizzle. You wouldn't want Jizz in your name. So we got to talk comic books, especially next to the guy who went out in a Catholic America. Usually I'm wearing stuff like a geekskape shirt or like a spider-man shirt. But when it's time to go out, even though I'm taking care of, you cannot wear them. I can, though, because they're stylish. I mean, it was fresh. It's fresh like this is fresh, cousin. You can't just go out. Like, you can't go out with a Captain America, like a really well-screened lame one that's two sides, it's too big. It's kind of a type of thing. You know, that has like the puffy in the race. What if you're covering the shirt in your black trench coat? Then your men are just like, you better watch out. We're wearing your socks and sandals. Another discussion we had is whether or not man sandals, mandals are cool or not. They're fine, no socks. If you're going to a beach bar. If you're going to Cancun, they're cool, but, uh, no most nights. You, sir, have a pair of sandals. Um, you know, wear them out the thing. No, not out the thing. But you can rock the Captain America shirt. It's fine because you have a woman strike up a conversation with you. You're a victim here. And the girl called Captain America Batman. She did? Yeah. So he slapped her straight in her face. She was like, it's the same thing. I'm like, no, not really. I've got one. One fights at night and shadows and the others. [inaudible] Hero. Did you actually say that? What was the conversation? I got it. What was the conversation? [inaudible] Is she even close up to the mic? [inaudible] Am I? Okay. Um, because I mentioned Batman earlier in the conversation. She was like, oh, look, you have a Batman T-shirt on. I was like, oh, look, are you blind? It's Captain America. Or, you know, not Batman. There's movies of Batman. There's a movie, Captain America. Yeah, but I don't think maybe she would see that. Right. That's like some girls don't know who Bruce Wayne is or Peter Parker. They'll be like, who? No, is that an attractive to you? That is very unattractive to me. Is that a deal breaker or just a turn off? It's a turn off. It's not a deal breaker. Come on now. [laughter] That would just be preposterous. I was like, why did you say goodbye? No, I don't know what I said. Like, goodbye. My lips will never touch yours. Bruce Wayne is Batman. [laughter] Spoiler warning. Sorry. Sorry about that. Um, no, that is good. And, um, yeah, it was a good night, I guess, last night for you guys. This one. Yeah, good night was a whirlwind. What are you reading? I was just about to ask you, what is going on in comic books? We've been working on this picture. Yeah. Really, really, I'm broke as a joke, so I haven't been able to read any comic books. I want to pick up the Civil War trade. Pick up the core Civil War trade. Maybe the Spider-Man books don't deviate too much. I just wanted the Civil War trade. Okay. I want to pick up Captain America where you can assassinate that. I think this is where my brain just checks out this comic book stuff. I heard that the-- The voice is pretty good. The voice is good. Yeah, I heard that. It's not great. It's good. I've had some recommendations. Graham, do you want to get over here? Just for fun, because we haven't seen you in a long time. Because Graham is actually somebody-- That's Graham, guys. Graham's actually somebody who just sort of hanging out with me. Plus his job is across the street from a Barnes and Nobles. So during your lunch break, you'll go and wander the Barnes and Noble and just start picking up books. You actually probably read more of the ancillary titles for Civil War than I ever did. Because I have OCD and I can't stop something once I started. He has to read the whole thing. He has to know everything. I wonder what Peter Parker's doing. So that's a good one to do. The core Civil War books, that's fine. Right, Graham? Yes. What else have you been reading? I've kind of been suggesting stuff to Graham. Just trades that I have. I just came in the fear agent stuff. I did the Daredevil stuff. The brew baker? And I literally, an hour ago, picked another one up. The brew baker Daredevil stuff is good. It's Captain America stuff is pretty good as well. It's really good. Yeah, it is. It's Captain America stuff's really good. Non-superhero, the DMZ stuff is always good. I started getting back into trades of Ex Machina. Okay, I heard that was pretty good too. Alright, I gotta check my IDs out. The girls is good and did you read the sword? No, I haven't gotten the sword. You'll love girls. I don't have money yet. Girls is really good. It's the Lunar Brothers. Okay. And they have a new series called The Sword, which is one issue out. It's the same kind of bizarre, almost ex-files-ish, like, the currents. You know what I mean? Like these girls just start coming out of nowhere and hatching out of eggs and stuff. And this little town has to deal with it. They're all naked. They're all naked. Do you like that? They're nude in the comic. Nice. But they're also violent. They hatch out of eggs? Yeah. Oh, I'll let you borrow this, Graham. It's very weird, but they pace it in a way that you can follow it. It doesn't get too weird too quick. Um, what else? You love Invincible. I heard Invincible is pretty good as well. Well, you're a superhero guy. Yeah. Invincible will be your favorite book. You'll love Invincible. There's a lot of throwbacks to, like, regular to comics you love. Like, it has, like, a Rorschach-type character in it. Rorschach. You mean Rorschach? Rorschach. Rorschach. That's cool. No, but UCLA. It's too late. So, with Civil War, a lot of that turned me up because I hate Marvel crossovers. I hate the earlier stuff. I wasn't feeling the Iron Spider costume, even though I did buy the action figure. Um, I wasn't a big fan of just the idea of having all these superheroes wrapped up in this one story arc that I didn't find all that interesting. That's how I feel about World War Hulk now. Yeah. I thought World War Hulk would be awesome, but it's not really really enticing. It's not working for me now. For the Hulk, no one read it, no one cared. I read it. I actually enjoyed it. I mean, but for the most part, people were just like, where was the Hulk? They did what with him? Yeah. Like, I don't remember this. And now he's coming back, like, you know, the chickens coming home, the roost, or what they say. Um, so he comes back from outer space and you're like, all right. I mean, if I want to read that, I just want Hulk fighting people for 35 issues. That's what everyone in the model loves. You'll love World War Hulk. Yeah. You'll love World War Hulk. I think it needs a little more. But, um, what they're doing now, I wanted to talk about. I read the first issue that just hit, uh, the X-men-Maziah complex. I saw some of that. I checked out Wizard Universe. Yeah. This is like the X-men universe. Uh, you know they're having been new X-men, new mutants born since the House of M? Yeah. So there's been a new birth. Like, like, Cerebro picks up a new, uh, mutant. Okay. And they go to this Alaska town to, like, Cyclops and, and, uh, you know, the X-men and all this. This town to investigate. And the whole town has been, like, burned to the ground. Oh, one of those. Not only that, but, like, Mr. Sinister's Reavers have been there. And, uh, you know, like the, like the, the Stryker type people who, like, are anti-mutant. They've been there. They had this whole fight. And basically it's just ruins. And, uh, and you, you get reintroduced to, like, Mr. Sinister's team in Gambit's part of it now. The Gambit's kind of a bad guy now. For me, the Gambit doesn't do a lot of it. Ron Clark, I really loves Gambit. He's, he's a cheap Wolverine. He's like a... Wolverine's a cheap Wolverine. A Gambit is a guy wearing a weird spandex, that mass cover face. Right. With his hair. He throws magic cards. Go, go, go, go, go, go to the back. Go to, like, the last episode when I was wearing the Chapline outfit. That's basically what Gambit wears, but he lets his hair out of the top like Batman. Which is insane. That was, uh, the Jim Lee when he would design costumes. Like, what? All right. Who would wear, where, where would you base this off of? What kind of concerns? I would... The mass with the big swoop. Like, this will come in handy when I try to walk through doors. Like, I don't know what... But whatever. Everyone loves Jim Lee. God forbid you say anything against his. So, you know, I picked up this, this X-Men of the Side Complex. Like, like, because A, uh, Brute Baker's writing it. And, uh, Sylvester's doing the artwork. Mark Sylvester's. So, it's gonna be like... I knew at least I would, like, looking at it. And the writing would probably be good if Brute Baker's writing it. But it just doesn't get me over that problem of not caring about the X-Men. The way that Whedon and Cassidy did with the Son of She X-Men. Which is the Superior book. You know, I'm really, I mean, this X-Men, Miss I complex, what the... How do we get an X-Men crossover? And we end up not going anywhere, but where we were five years ago. Yeah. I haven't cared about the X-Men since the first issue of Ultimate X-Men. Um, you know, I don't really like the Whedon stuff all that much. But I really haven't cared or been surprised. I just keep rehashing the same stuff. The same bill and the same everything. I don't know. It's just nothing, nothing excites me about it. Like, yes Wolverine's still a badass. And he still can take on everyone and not really get all that hurt. And same stuff. But he knows about his past now. Yeah, like, who cares? It doesn't really matter. Yeah, it's lame. He's got less baggage. He's got less baggage. No, it's still happening, buddy. You can just remember it. You know what I mean? It's like, guess what? We all remember our past. We still have baggage. We just don't have a chip on our shoulder. Um... What's been going on with Batman? I haven't been reading Batman. I haven't even heard anything about that. Like, post-crisis, like, the post-this new crisis on Infinite Earth. Like, this crisis, and then there's going to be another crisis. All the crossover events made me say, you know, come on, I'll go back to it when everything's done. That's why you're going to love this invincible book. Because there's none of that other shit. Like, one... Yeah, it's one series. Like, that's all it is. There's no... I definitely, I would be four, which some fans will kill me for this, but... I would be four every superhero in both Marvel and DC being the only one that exists in their issues. That, to me, is more interesting than having a New York City filled with four billion fucking superheroes. Like, you have the Avengers, that's enough. You have the Fantastic Four, that's enough. If Spider-Man is the strength of 10 men, like, that's enough. Like, why does Batman matter in a world where Superman exists? Sub-sub-sub-done. Superman dating. He's the speed of life. He's done. It's a good point. But if you have a story with just Batman, then there's some... There's some gravity in this situation. Like, there's no one else to pick up the slack. Gotham, what? There's, like, 15,000 superheroes that live in there? None of them have any powers, either, which is ridiculous. I would probably be the laziest superhero in that world. Yeah. You know? I would do things just to like profit. I'd be a villain, there, if you haven't, I'd be a villain. We just found out I would be a villain. It would be, like, the last part of Irredeemable Ant-Man. That's how it went out. That's kind of what Irredeemable Ant-Man was, which was canceled. It was Robert Kirkman? Robert Kirkman. Robert Kirkman did this... He does Walking Daddy, did this Ant-Man, the new Ant-Man. It got canceled over like that. That's awesome. And he just kind of let other heroes do it. He was, like, hiding out in the back, shrinking and hiding under stuff. He was pretty lazy. It was 12 issues. It was really good. I liked it. I thought it was fun, you know? It was great. But how long can you play that? You know what I mean? Then again, we've been playing this stuff since the '30s. Yeah. But would I always assume when I read superhero books and you know, it's just like, "Well, why doesn't the Justice League come in?" Or, like, "Why doesn't, you know, the most powerful superhero?" And there's always a horseshade explanation. Like, "Oh, the Fantastic Four's there." John was all in the hall, like... Well, because... Yeah, the other, here's the other side of that. And all these books, all these guys are always busy. There's like, they're always doing something. So then I assume when, you know, in a Spider-Man book, when the Fantastic Four doesn't jump in, it's just like, "Well, fucking people are busy." You know, there's so much shit constantly going on. Yeah, but that's... That's just like, people are busy in Hollywood. They're like doing a Sudoku or a crossbow puzzle. Like, no one's fucking busy. How many meetings have you guys gone into or tried to get? Somebody's like, "Oh, I'm a little too busy for that." Listen. Listen. Listen. I'm swamped right now. I am so busy. There's ducks. They're scattered across the office. I need to put them in a row. We're busy. And you're like, "You can't be that busy. No one is ever that busy. We made a feature film and we were not busy during the days." After we wrapped, we were like, "Hey, guess what? I can talk to someone. I can do this. Is that any other?" It's 45. Go. Oh, we don't want the paper on out. It's cool. It's cool. But yeah, the busyness thing is just kind of silly. You know, it's like... I mean, you know... The carnage is back. Where's the Fantastic Four? They're busy. Like, he's murdering everyone that he goes by. I understand. Well, I mean, in the... Century with them and have money. What did you recall? I was actually referencing Maximum Carnage. Oh. Got it. The Fantastic Four doesn't jump into like... You guys ever read Family Circus? I like following Worthy West. Family Circus is awesome. I love Family Circus. I remember going to a boat show in Austin. And, like, the little pamphlet. They got the Family Circus guy to make one just specifically for the boat show. And, like... It was like funny, like... Hey, what's going on out of there? There's a boat, huh? At Palmer Out of Chloria in Austin, they had this boat show. And they had them make a specific one just about boats or whatever in Austin. And I remember clipping it and keeping it for, like, years. I remember that boat show. But that is my Family Circus story. Wow. I don't even know what comics there are on the newspaper now. I really like the Family Circus cartoon. Like, didn't they have, like, a little cartoon movie thing? I thought that was good. They were likable characters. Good voice acting. This episode is rambling. And that's... You know, I like having you guys around. You guys really should move out to Los Angeles. Just to stay in my living room and talk. You know? Yesterday we had home eatout for a couple hours. They're, like, changing. It's fun. I mean... We just home eat out for, like, hours. Talking about random garbage, which is basically what the show is. Well, if there's any reviewers that want to sponsor the sweaty robots, the sweaty robots, lifestyle, just living, we're not going to make anything. Just paying for our apartment or food and stuff. We'll be in L.A. And you could watch us every other week or so whenever we're talking about the show. You watching Matt Sanchez in the shower? I would watch Matt Sanchez's shower very much so. It would be as good looking as his films. So you have this... We got to talk... We got to talk video games 'cause, like... A lot of people are like, "Where's Graham? Where's Graham? Where's Graham? Where's Graham? Guys, Halo 3 came out. You know where Graham is. Does anyone want to tag you for Mike? Is anybody else playing this Halo? Have you been playing this Halo? Stuff? Like, Graham, not only is playing Halo, he's... Like, you send me videos and pictures of yourself playing Halo. My exploits. Graham, I mean, to Bungie's credit, people know that, like, they know that people are going to be into this stuff, you know, and this whole viral campaign of posting the images straight from the game, trading videos with each other. Some of the videos are insane that you've shown me. Like, rockets ricocheting, office... I'm awesome, yes. There's one video that Graham showed me where the explosion from a grenade changed the trajectory of a missile and knocked it into some... Two people that were playing on the air side of a board, which is minding their own business, fighting each other, and then a missile comes up and kills both of them. Did you hear about the two guys that made that one video? And Bungie game like that special armor? Yes. Oh, this guy got... You can probably download and play with this. Like, pull out a sniper rifle, shot this barrel that blows up and it knocked a traffic cone into his head and it killed him from across the map. Yeah, and then like... Wait, what? It's like mouse trap, these videos that you've made. They're like, this guy shot a sniper rifle, missed a guy, hit a wall, like, a million miles away and it bounced back, hit him right in the head. Oh, and that's the bullet? Yeah. Well, that's not possible. It killed him. He killed himself. That would never help him. Yeah. That is bullshit. He killed himself. The video's on there? Yeah. And then you showed me this amazing one where this dude was just mining his old business, chasing some guy down with a gun. Yeah, I found it on the geekscape.net forums. Oh, you did? Somebody posted that. Yes. That was amazing. This guy's just playing, chasing some dude down and he dies and he's like, what the fuck? So, the great thing about this game is you can go back and watch the video of the match. From different angles, slow it down, bullet time it, whatever. And this dude realized that two people in a Jeep had shot a barrel which exploded. No, it knocked it into this air cannon thing. Launched it across the map and it landed on this guy, blew him up. Like, and these guys were just tooling around in the Jeep, just shooting the gun everywhere. And one bullet just pings the side of it, it rolls down like a Goldberg machine. Just flies up and lands on his head. But you love this stuff. Like, you really get excited. We'll go to lunch and you'll be pumped because the night before you stuck a sticky grenade into somebody's face. There's absolutely nothing more satisfying than having some little kid yelling at you and then you just slap him across the face with a spike grenade and know that he's going to explode. Is that weird? Do you like talk to him on the headset? Yeah. I find that so awkward. No, you know what? So awkward. You know what, I will soon buy Halo 3. And I suck at these Halo games. I'm the worst player. You don't want me on our team. But I love playing with Graham just for listening to the BS that's dude talks. He's like, I mean, whatever he is and playing Halo, he's amazing at talking the shit on Halo. Yeah. Because you're the man in this stuff. How are you at Halo? I told you to challenge Gilbert Uranus, who I think is amazing. I would crush him. If you played Gilbert Uranus, kill him. Set it up. I would love to set it up. That's right. I would post this on YouTube. You want to play Gilbert Uranus? All right. You would take him out? Probably not, but okay. I mean, he cheats, though, right? He's just lame. He doesn't cheat. It's like a real guy or just like a. Gilbert Uranus plays for the Wizards. Yeah. He puts all the Wizards. And all he does is play Halo when he's not. He's lame. Filling in all star ballads. Yeah. Why is his lane this different than your lane? Because he's a professional basketball player who tricks kids into losing to him on purpose with promises of signed jerseys. And so, so they lose to him. He's breaking. He ends up getting special stuff. I'm not sure. I've never heard anything like that before. He ends up getting special stuff. Isn't that horrible? That's shitty. So you're saying like someone like Jenna Jamison can really clean up. Yeah. You know what? Gilbert Uranus. Gilbert Uranus. Jenna Jamison would destroy you in Halo. Because you'd just be like, "I'd suck your dick." Jenna Jamison looks like one of those fish you have to put inside the tank to like keep the algae off the glass. I was like madly in love with Jenna Jamison. Like, that's the only point where I would marry. But she looks horrible now. Yeah, a lot of stuff. She's in her face. You know who's playing her in the movie, right? Scarlett Johansson. And like a biopic. Is that right? Is that right? Is that right? I don't know why at all. That's the opposite of her. I don't think she's that hot. Okay. Mike Myers. What? Eddie Murphy. Yeah. Who do you think, who do you not think is awesome? Scarlett Johansson. I think she's cute. I think she's cool. Speaking of blonde actresses, who's the actress that the actress who always makes fun of? Who's playing that good girl in Watchmen? Oh, what? Oh yeah. The chick from um. From like Harold and Kumara to White Castle choosing that Ben Stiller movie. Yeah. She's oddly. No, not Kristen. No, she's young. She was in this recent Ben Affleck movie and she's playing like the. She's in the heartbreak game. Ben Stiller movie. Yeah. Oh, and she's probably somebody's cousin. Oh, why do you want to bring that up? Yeah. You guys are talking about blonde women that were bad. Why do you want to bring that up? Thanks for wasting your time. We're talking about video games. I know, but I was interjecting with my. I mean, I see that your friends threw you out here to talk video games. Yeah. What do you guys talk about? What? Good, I ended up in a video game. It's a bad voice chat. The, uh, this World of Warcraft patch came out a couple weeks ago and they introduced voice chat when you're playing. Oh. Welcome to the 21st century. Yeah. Yeah. And Lord. Let's say I can't, I can't do it because I feel so uncomfortable with like little kids talking to me. But you play the World of Warcraft? Yeah. I get back into it and then my roommates yell at me. You sound like a little kid. Okay. That was just an insulting. I don't like you. So, uh, so what happened? No, I just, I don't like getting ordered. It's like ordered around by someone who is like. You don't have to listen to them lately. Like some kid told games from the sniper rifle. Graham took the sniper rifle anyway. Yeah, but I think we'll work out this a lot more like. I don't know. It's a lot. And then the kid came after. You know. It's not going to hurt. It's not going to hurt. It's not going to hurt. It's not going to hurt you. It's not going to hurt you. It's not going to hurt you. Well, they're parents now. What happens? Like the little kids are beating their parents. Oh, yeah. They're literally getting some abuse charges. Some dude like in, I think he's in Britain beat the shit out of his mom because she made him turn off his Xbox. In the cop show. That's awesome. He barricaded himself. He's going to beat up a cop. Yeah. Yeah. I remember. Yeah. He's 14. But I remember when you were growing up your parents turned off your video games all the time. Like mid game. I remember. Fuck that. It was really far in one of the Sega Genesis Disney games. Like Quack Shot or Latin or something like that. And my dad's like, Jonathan, I've been calling you. He turned it off and I yelled at him. And I was like, what have I done? I just ruptured my family. I just tore my family in half because of a latin. You crapped game. I threw it away. Like I said, I was playing Sonic. You were playing Sonic? I was playing Sonic. It's time to turn it off. I'm like, ahhh, just a couple more rounds. And he took the unclug, it grew in the trash. Hold on. Let me get one. What's that? Me and my friend Mike were playing Resident Evil. And we didn't have a memory card yet. Kind of like. So you got to play it through. Right. So it was like. And Resident Evil was like really ridiculous. I think we were playing for like two or three days. Maybe two days straight. That sort of thing. Like a big long weekend video games. And we were being pretty loud and my dad was like. And that's awesome. See, that's the thing. We were upset. See, that's the thing though. They were still at that age where I don't think that they understand. Like the conquest. I think, yeah, I think our generation will understand. It's not the importance of video games. Your child has put hours of his life into this thing. He wants to accomplish something. You want them to have that sense of accomplishing. I think that's great. Let's get it doing something. How insane were you just saying? Did anyone actually listen to me? Just saying. What Gilmore just said was. That was back when parents had perspective. I will never turn on my child's video game in games. I absolutely will. I will give him a warning though. It's still a game though. Somebody just made the conclusion that they're going to have children. That's a joke then. Thanks to Gilmore. You've got to give your kids warnings. There are some parents who listen to the show and their kids maybe reaching a video game playing time. Maybe you've just got to give your kid a warning. Save it. Back in the day, you couldn't save any games. Halo, you can save wherever, whenever. No, you can save every game basically. It makes it make some less challenging. You can play them over a longer period of time. I remember back in the day going to Robby Donovan's house behind us and playing that Batman on the Nintendo that came out with the movie. It was like we just blocked out three or four hours because that's how long it's going to take. There's no saving. We're going to beat this game. We're determined. Sometimes you got past orange lemon A15. Castlevania 2, are you turning to a world? They had some sick passwords. Goonies 2, so we brought up a couple subjects you guys can talk about on the geekscape.net forums. We've talked about moments where your father or your mother have turned off your video game. We've talked about most ridiculous passwords. My sister and I got in a fight once. We were living in California. It was like Mario 3 or something like that. That started off as like it's my turn. I'm still playing. I don't care. It's my turn. So we go back and forth. Cut to about 20 minutes later. She breaks a broom over my back and is chasing me around the house. Windows are broken. Then my dad comes home and beats the shit out of both of us. Don't let him spit that back. That's why I'm an alcoholic. I mean, I remember that you were the Spanish twins we grew up with. The Spanish twins, we would be the car and we'd be heading home. Those two guys, if they watched, do they watch this? No, they don't know how to watch this. You put the picture of them up. Put the picture of them up right now. Do you imagine a hot dog? It's the two kids from Rushmore. Those are them. So we got these two kids and they're twins. They're two of my best friends from high school. And when we entered the neighborhood, they had rules for when you could call it. It's like calling shotgun. Once you enter the neighborhood. But they did it all in their own secret family language. You gotta hope that the other person has forgotten to call it because the whole time you're headed to your neighborhood, you're like the second I cross that neighborhood sign I can call. And so at the almost the exact same time, every time we went to their house, I called computer. I called computer. That was their thing. You always call stuff like that. What's up, buddy? Me and Mike. That was my best friend growing up. We had rules for I play first when you read through the game. It's funny. So you'd be like waiting it up, making sure you don't call it too early. I play first and be like, yeah. There's that. And you'd hope that it was, you know, a lot of games weren't two player games. So it was one player game. You'd be like, you're not going to die. Eric hasn't spoken to Mike in 17 years. What's that? We got to wrap this up. The only one that I really remember as being ridiculous didn't even happen to me. It's a Paul story. So take it with a grain of salt. Remember Paul's friend that says ons? Yes. Oh, yes, dad. Ripping the TV out of the wall and goes, no, video game during the school year boy. Like supposedly he was Irish. He was Irish. Out of the, out of the wall, marched it down the hallway. He bounced it off the hood. He opened the garage where the car was in the garage and chucked it, bounced it over the hood. And as he threw it, he farted. That was the joke that entertained us for hours as children.
