I am not Chris Locke some on it I am Gary Smith and I am here with my friends. You know how the show goes I Gary Smith I'm joined by my friend Math fondle here all the way in Austin, Texas Hey brother. I don't think your mic's connected there buddy But you know who is when we start the show too quickly correct

We did strike the show very quickly and that was my doing so I will give Matt a little cut out a little bit like there and then also with us It appears to be in the no haste no hoasis Is it Mike Dawson in North Hollywood, California? It is I'm here with my friend cord light We'll see minus we have been editing the ums out of a podcast for the past seven hours that sounds awful That sounds very tedious for oh, but you know better to have worked into not It's tedious, but let me ask you guys a question. Yeah, I Thought about this like today I'm grateful to have so many different projects to work on so I can bounce around from one work on this For a while work on this for a while work on this for a while if I was a paid audio editor and I had to spend eight hours a day Sifting through audio I would probably kill myself Yeah, I mean look eight hours a day is being pretty optimistic about it too because I know a lot of

A lot of guys who spend a lot more than eight hours in a day working on tedious stuff like that But I agree it's though when you're doing something that's repetitive like that especially if it's not creative it can get mind knowingly just I mean Yeah, I just got to like gamify it though. Yeah, you know, you get to this level then I can Reward myself, you know, like you just break it down at the smaller chunks. That is going. I'm with you I do I do a little bit of cutting half kind of stuff. Yeah, but then it's like what I say is when I finish Then I can do stuff Right, so it's like I'm all in there's there's no fucking halfway on this. Yeah, well, you know what I'm all in My own home boys and girls We are back. What's the temperature in there? I mean, I got to be honest with you I think that when I walked by the thermostat to say ask my wife if there's anything my wife If there was anything I can do before we started I think she has it cranked down and it's had 69

I'm not even I'm not even doing a bit We had said it at 72 and the repair the repair guy was here today, right? So I think on patreon We'll probably get into a little bit more of kind of the details of my last few days like the tail end of this But basically we came back in order to meet the repair man and my wife came back before me and let him in and let me know that he had Started and then I took off and headed home while he was working on it When I got home it was about a little after lunch time and The word that I got was it'll probably be about 30 more minutes And we had one of the little mobile free standing units We've talked about before you know four and a half feet high or whatever plugs into a hole in your window And and that thing you know It does a job for the room that it's in so it was comfortable in that room and we just kind of sat there and about 45 minutes later Something like that the guy knocked on the door and my wife had stood up and was doing something else So I opened it I'd never seen this man before because he'd been the backyard the whole time I'd been home And he said nice to meet you and I said thanks

And he said would you turn on the air conditioner and make sure that you put it really low so we can check if it's working I was like absolutely and I turned that bitch to 72 Because my house was at the time at 80 and Said ah and it turned on and this guy came in was like all right. Let me let me he had like a It looked like an optical camera, but it was like a sensor that was like bendy that he like shoved into the one of the air conditioning vents and it attached Magnetically and then he did the same thing at the register Which is where your house sucks in the air the hot air and then about 15 minutes later He was like yeah, I just want to make sure we would hold the charge But look and you showed me a thing on his phone that there's like a 20 degree difference in what my Thing is sucking in versus what it's blowing out. He was like you're gonna be good You're gonna be good like two or three hours. So a big question. Yeah question to the home warranty Take care of it. Yeah There you go. And that's why that's why it took so long. That's why it took so long

Absolutely, right. I'm not sure if it was necessarily that much Dawson, but it saved us a shit Let's say it's save this thousands of dollars at the between seven and ten. Yeah, probably But you know we Luck of course now the heat is gonna break tomorrow the heat wave is ending and there's gonna be rain and stuff But you know what I'm I'm choosing to look at that as a positive because if they had fixed it Ten days ago this air conditioner with a brand new part would have been running nonstop for seven days And money. Yeah, exactly and money. So this you know, it's like all right Let's break this thing in a little bit. We used it a lot today I think we'll you know set it. It's something reasonable overnight and then I think for the next few days after this We may not have to use it very much at all. I mean it'll be there and it'll be set to something so that it doesn't get too hot but Yeah, it's a whole new world back in back in our house. It's been a wild ride Glad it glad it's finally resolved. Thank you months. It was it started in August and it's October so

Yeah, it was Look man month plus people have bigger people people have bigger problems, but that was the most uncomfortable six weeks of my life As far as just like being constantly in a state of like I'm not in my own space or my space is not comfortable or you know just Moving around. I mean, I'll talk a little bit about the very end of it on Patreon like I said, but um Yeah, it was a is Kaila now going through something similar I saw we saw got some frantic text from him or something. I'm not exactly sure Kaelin said some stuff that was a little confusing to me, but I don't know it seems like he's really yeah, it was the email mostly But he seems like everyone's okay. He's just completely overwhelmed. It seems like Kaelin It's just you know like all of us, but um particularly right now say kind of the same thing that Kaelin said when I just don't want to do the show So let's just leave it there. I think he just didn't want to join us today. I don't know maybe that's certainly a possibility

Good. I don't think so I think Kaelin's little family is gonna be saying on an Airbnb today. Yeah, I think I was like some sort of housework going on So I think Kaelin's going through it all going through it a little bit with the pool That's what it is maybe I'm a Kaelin I'm a buy on it dude and Chris Chris told us in advance that he was not available this way Yeah, I don't know what Chris's deal is but Chris has said from He told us a while ago that he was not gonna be here this week and I think Kaelin just just really going through it right now DOS this new football show that he picked up it's it's you know It's taken up a lot of his time and I think that we're gonna have a very busy Kaelin until the Super Bowl So yeah I know Matt you've been watching all the games all weekend DOS in oh yeah, what's your review? Well are you asking me for my review? Yeah, I like your review your review as well, but I also want DOS's Well, let me go first because it's really quick because I didn't actually watch the games But I did check my fan my final fantasy football score and I lost and frankly I'm upset at Kaelin for giving me this dog shit team

I thought I thought I should be nervous about how well I was going to do and You know, it's just not it's not turn it's not working out for me and this why I don't like sports You want to be that's where I want to be dude. Yeah, I was I was worried. I think I mentioned this when you said you're gonna join the team I'm like dude don't win They're gonna fucking hate you that's what I mean I was worried yeah Well, I'm finishing somewhere near the bottom is what it's gonna be I think all right still a long season ahead and You can have miraculous things happen in fantasy like in one of the bubble leagues this week I went into the Sunday night game and I was down about 30 points and I was 99% chance that the other guy was gonna win and a 1% chance that I was gonna win and At the beginning of the Falcons game. I was watching it and B. John Robinson Ran a touchdown in you T. alum. Yes, you T. alum correct and I have someone on the Falcons whose initial is B Robinson and I Started celebrating was like holy shit like I might win this thing and then I looked and I have Brian Robinson who is the backup

But the Falcons were so goddamn good that at the halfway through the game they put the backup in you went for like a hundred yards and three touchdowns I'm meeting the guy meeting my opponent by like 20 points and He even said in the chat like what the fuck I went to bed and I was 99% to win. I was like I'm sorry man That's just that should shit look on your part So you never know Matt you can have a few lucky breaks like that and be right back in this thing before you know it By lad. I don't know if it's a national chain, but our national purchase product, but you know b. John's got D. John mustard Helm C. John B. John C. John yeah, you can buy the bottle out here. I mean I'm gonna tell you and I'm I'm gonna help you out a little bit there in Texas Just like the University of California ad Berkeley Is called cow The only school in the UC system except for Davis they can be called cow Because of the first one Texas you can just say Texas you don't have to say you T Same syllables no problem, but when you say you T you're talking about another school

Is that true? Yes I 100% true. What's what school am I talking about? U-T-E-P U-T-H U-T-E-P I'm pretty sure you have it flipped I think that if you're talking about the team in Houston You would call it Texas. I'm not it's not talking about the team from Austin you would say U-T again I can know I understand that I understand that all I'm saying is you don't have to say see We talk about cow it's cow It's not you see okay. Well when I was I never heard anyone You're the first person I have ever heard anyone in conversation Use U-T instead of just fucking sand all right. Well, let's move back to my original fucking question Which was about the NFL games this weekend Dawson. Did you watch any of the NFL games this weekend? Yeah lions lost to the fucking Puma's

There's my weekend, but I spent the last two days watching non-stop baseball all while I was editing so while I do know that you are a lion's fan you are most Associated in the Corollaverse with being a fan of a different team. Did you happen to watch that team play football this weekend? Yeah That game was on regular TV and I have NFL Sunday ticket so I did not watch it actually I think I caught the end of it I think I might have caught the end of it and the chargers did badly Yeah, they did it was uh, yeah, it was a pretty quiet afternoon. I thought about you. Yeah, I did think about it I was sitting there right I'm so glad. I don't I don't care about the chargers anymore Yeah, while I was sitting right there next to my father who does for the entire game like I sat down next to him I think there was 13 minutes on the clock in the first quarter So I had been out running an errand with my wife and my son and I came back basically a kickoff And we sat there pretty well silent for about three hours It was tough

It was hard to watch because on top of the fact that we lost They were also just beating the living shit out of our quarterback and there was nothing anyone on the chargers could do to stop it Just like every every two plays The whole team is who forgot to play football We got how to play football this weekend Yeah, well, and in the case of the chargers last four weekend, so that that's encouraging but That's an oh that's right. That's an oh and four start. We had us it is it's uh There's another team that has an oh and four who is it? Miami and then depending on how the game that's going on right now The Bucket nears also have an oh and four start and they maybe headed towards an oh and five start because I would say that the Cowboys are probably favorites in that game. They're playing their backup quarterback So anyways, we don't have to talk football all night. It's just it was a bummer to watch that game Just sitting silently like next to my dad because we were both so bummed out as fans about the fact that this Sunday for me It was a very passive football Sunday. Yeah, I had a fuckload of work to do So I just put on the the multi-screen view for everything

I don't know all the TVs throughout the house and then I sat in the studio and fucking worked Yeah, for sure Matt what did you get up to this weekend? Do you do anything fun? We have a dog park date or Oh, let's see. Yeah, there's you know, it was actually kind of a rainy weekend out here So not too much dog park in but quite a bit of Halloween decorating Okay, how far into the full swing out here How far into the process of decorating would you say we are like how many like what percentage of the Akutra mall is still not displayed At this point the interior of our house is done Including our Halloween miniature village that we have on display I just say selfish that you are completing the interior before the exterior so they always Hold on if you have a miniature village. Yeah, we have the psycho house We You know, we don't have the specific Psycho house, but I do have a little miniature house that has a creepy old lady and a rocking chair kind of sitting outside of it

So, you know, it's a no-modge to it We get a lot of these things from Michaels art supply store they have this brand. It's called Leamax and they have these like diorama scenes I do it for Halloween and for Christmas So we have multiple pieces that are like these large format like one is a like a bat roller coaster ride One of them is like a day to Cemetery basically. Yeah, yeah, we basically have an entire village that we have an entire village of it And I used to use these they're called fairy lights and just these little thin wire cable lights that I would string all over the top of the village The kind of give it a kind of like a carnival atmosphere and This year while lighting it we got distracted at a conversation and one of the spinning pieces Caught hold of one of the drooping light fixture. So suddenly this entire string of lights getting sucked into this bucket decoration

That I think it's really sucked in there. I will not be able to fix it like it will never come out The trees are falling over I have this moment that is straight out of speed to be totally honest where there are two light switches like a Light strips and I don't know which one is it the one? Which one is it now if you hit the wrong one you should have just turned them both off It's a it's a huge table Dawson I have a split second to pick a table side and get to it lap that thing off before This light fixture gets sucked into this mechanical object. Maybe it would explode. I don't know I picked correctly. No, I picked correctly. I did thank God. I don't know what happened, but the gods of Halloween The demons of Halloween if you will any commentary Um You still have your voice box. No, we're good. No, I don't I that was that's why set up on my mobile unit Sorry, anyway, I did have to take cables and I had to clip the overhead lights

It was the only way to then run the spinning piece all the way through and then pull the the loose cable back out so Long way of saying the village is not 100% done, but it's mostly done and then I still have to do the outside of the house So I'm gonna say like 80% done. I got to put lights on the outside of the house lights in the tree There's like three or four Like scenes lights do you have in the house if you're 80% done and you haven't done outside Dude they go they go fucking hard Dawson the entire let's rethink that That's a great creating 80% is done and it's all inside yeah Okay, yep Is it okay? Is it okay Dawson? Is it okay? I don't know why that does check out. I mean you check out Halloween I think that The outdoor decorations are probably more important than the indoor decorations I would just think that the ratio between outdoor to indoor Halloween decorations

And I mean maybe we can put her to a poll to the people yeah, no telling you know I'm gonna say that 90% of the people who love Halloween 90% of their decorations are on the outside you're 100% done and you haven't even started there That is correct. There is substantially more stuff on the inside of our house than the outside of the house and I I don't know why it it worked out that way But part of it is because we just love being surrounded by it watching scary movies I love the glow of the lights inside of the house um But I agree it should be more geared toward the outside. I think part of it too is uh weather Outdoor stuff gets fucked up You spend a lot of money on it and it will be fucked up in two years and you want to enjoy it So I get it. It's like Christmas. I get yeah And are you still planning to throw the Halloween party that you were talking about? We're gonna do that this year

We actually will be able to share it with other people. Is there any concern as to limiting the number of invitees Because so much of your square footage I would imagine the footprint has shrunk as a result of for instance this village is probably taking up You know all of a big table or something like that, right? You know, it's the Feng Shui is uh is still In effect, you know, you could still make your way through the house I must ask does that mean the bonsai tree is still alive The bonsai tree is still alive is barely hanging on and bonsai and bonsai the animal also still alive Doing very well thriving thriving. Okay. Yes. Absolutely. How do they feel about the spooky season? Do they like on having all the bullshit up around their house? bonsai the plants has no opinion on it, but bonsai the dog Yes is Fascinated by every object that we put out we have this uh this cat in a kind of a tense position. It's like a skeleton cat and he like Absolutely like alarm barking

We had to like put it up to him and like put it in front of him and he was not having any of it He did eventually get over it, but yeah, there's you know all kinds of shit He's sniffing it out, but that's part of being a dog man. Yeah, for sure. No, absolutely. I uh I spent my weekend with uh two dogs living in the same home who were used to both just living In one dog households and uh that was really fun. Getting watching them, you know, enjoy their time together That was uh, that was pretty cool Um, all right. What do you guys think you guys think we should be again to some comments How they sell let's do it Oh It's cool, man. We got it. Yeah, it's all good. They're you know, 30% of the show walks away. No, we deal All right, so this is not the bureaucrat. I know Now he's not gonna go far.

I was going to say that as well um

She's an incredibly strong person and i think that test Tessa is um very lucky to have such a strong and spectacular mother So please go uh check out nobody tells us dot sub stack dot com I tried to go over there and uh got as far as you know Looking at the homepage and decided i wanted no part of it because i'm still In my feelings about the whole situation so but please everyone go support her. She's a spectacular person and uh a really eloquent writer as well um All right, all right Before i start getting emotional uh mic j nielsen says i watch back rooms the other day I don't understand the hype. It wasn't scary even a little and the story was just me

Am i missing something? I don't know personally i haven't seen it but it sounds like you're missing Being 20 years old because it's that yeah that movie seems to be the rage with that crowd and That's sort of what i've heard i've heard that about both that and I know kaelin hype sub session like 211 I don't know i've spoken to other people my age who give me a similar response to what Dawson just gave me for back rooms. It's all right Yeah, you know nothing wrong with it I agree i i enjoyed it I mean i thought obsession was significantly better but totally different types of movies But which one was the one i know one of them was like seven million bucks and the other one was like 750,000 as far as the budget you let's take a guess you know, which is which mat I would say back rooms cost more money, but i would do totally wrong. Okay, you're right Obsession that's the guy who had you know a big youtube following and then Curry barker right Yeah, curry barker. Yeah, that's all right. I think it is

um youtube sensation and then film studio you know smaller film studio financed but part of to me what was impressive about back rooms was like the set design like they're filming in these it's not like green screen I mean some of it is but a lot of it's filmed in these like giant sounds Real places yeah, and it is just gives you a very creepy kind of a dream like nightmare like atmosphere um I'm again, I thought it was pretty entertaining the story was definitely very met But it was a movie that I just kind of surrendered myself to Thing is is anytime you go into a movie these days you go to go in with low expectations And then you'll be pleasantly surprised at first Speaking of which matter you are you playing to go to the theater anytime soon You know, I do have a gift card I've been sitting on it since since Christmas title and episodes for me here We got 50 bucks at alamo so

You know That only gets you so far these days, but Typically in October My wife and I will end up going to see one of the horror movies. I've been trying to to pitch resident evil Uh Just because I really like that filmmaker a lot. So I'm totally down to see that There's a new horror out with Jessica Chastain. Yeah, I think that what do you know? What do you know about that Matt? I've heard it's very creepy and very good. It's getting very very good. I'm always hoping I still don't think they have done as good as hereditary since her redditary it was I agree That is probably that's the that's the current high ball right now. I would agree Well, I think you both know that I wasn't fishing for a conversation on horror movies because I can't contribute to that But there is a movie coming out this weekend that I thought Matt might be interested in based on the filmmaker and some of the actors that are in it Do you have any interest in seeing a theatrical viewing of the social reckoning? Great question. I was pretty turned off by the trailer

I am not going to see adult dramas in theaters generally these days That's just kind of like a rental for me as opposed to something like a horror movie that you know or like the Odyssey Like some of the kind of demands to be seen and like communal experiences. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I honestly I've heard it's it's I I've heard it's I too I've seen some you know some tech reviewers like it more than the general movie reviewer community It's it would seem but I honestly don't think I'll find my way to a theater either I would like to but it's just you know you finding my way to a theater is a very difficult, you know Thing to navigate and I just don't know if that movie is gonna really warrant three hours Think about that movie for me was I've watched Succession I don't know maybe like three times through all the way. I loved That whole thing perfect ending and the whole time

I hated that dude Just fucking hated him and I'm like well, maybe that's a point. Maybe I'm supposed to hate him I think so I think you are. Yeah, I was then but then but you know the hate goes a little bit deeper than just the story It's like how is this guy a fucking actor? I know what I mean and then I see him as Zuckerberg and I'm like, oh, that's why Okay, it all makes sense now someone has to play Zuckerberg So that's why he's an actor. I mean he's Turned in some pretty great performances. He kind of disappears into name a couple others for me No, I'm not the gentleman. I have to look at the gentleman look it up Yeah, he was in the gentleman the movie that we just watched. She was the like rival drug dealer. Yeah Um I'm gonna pull it up. I think he was in wasn't he also in that um Trump movie

Yeah, that's right. He played Trump's uh the guy in his ear. Yeah, how was that guy's name? I can't remember. I was like Trump's right hand man But he has a he has a lot he has a long filmography short. Yeah, he is plays It's called the apprentice. He played Roy Cohn. Roy Cohn. Thanks. Okay. Yeah, he's got a long filmography But I mean, I think that you're right like he does that's right you do he does disappear into whatever role it is So it can be easy to not But obviously since succession it's harder, but before succession disappears into the role I wouldn't notice what a shitty actor he is well case in case in point we just did a movie club on the gentleman You presumably watch that movie Okay, did you did you notice him I May have noticed him, but he just seemed to fade into the movie which was kind of weird, you know Right Okay

Ryan Roberts says I've created a fun game on Spotify. Well, we're listening to Spotify We try to guess what instruments but it says interments, but I think he means instruments each member of a band plays just from their picture I listen to a lot of bands that I have no idea anything about other than that. I like their songs It's a fun way to learn more about very small bands from all over the world A ton of bands I listen to have less than 500 monthly listeners, but they are pretty all right Sounds like kind of a fun game. I'm sorry. Go back a little bit because I don't understand the game Presumably when you're listening to a song on Spotify They there may be pictures at the bottom of the band members, right? So like for Blink 182 You'd have a picture of Mark, Tom and Travis, right? So what this guy is saying is he listens like obscure bands and then he goes down He looks at the pictures and based on off knowing nothing But what they look like he tries to pick that guy's a drummer that guy's a guitarist that guy's a singer That guy's playing the trombone, you know, whatever It seems like a fun game to me. I mean, I don't know how successful I would be at it And I feel like I would be crashing my card and trying to check that you don't know and don't really care about so that's a

That's a leap for a game Well, I think you're gonna get a lot of people on your team to play that one Yeah, but listen to a bunch of music nobody fucking knows Oh, no, dude Let's just listen to Steely Dan Oh, let's see. Yeah, maybe if it was Steely Dan and there was a picture of Donald Duck done I'd be like what was that? Donald Duck was in steel Steely Dan Donald Duck done. Yes Madam, I'm don't I'm confused Well, if you go to any number of Steely Dan songs And you scroll to the bottom and you see the pictures of the players You will find the sailor suit Donald Duck done. Yes, no bottoms and and you would see the other bands. He's played in and he's been everywhere Um, so Donald Duck does get around uh Jacob Morales Duck done. Yes, toss him. Yeah, we know we know he did it. It's a bit move on

Jacob Morales says do you think Chris could beat Count Chocula in a fist fight That's interesting. What do you think Matt Well, I saw that post and frankly, I was a little bit more upset by the drawing of Count Chocula in the post He's been like CGI a fight that the count Chocula that I know Probably could have taken Chris down. I feel like Chris could beat the living shed of this particular count Chocula It's pretty weak sauce. I tend to agree This is strange because I didn't see this post on the Facebook But as I was looking through the Twitter or whatever I saw Somebody had said My kid was eating count Chocula and he's staring at the cereal box. Yeah somebody repurposed a widely shared Real okay, okay, so for our based on that yeah correct Now what would you say to Gary Jr. Gary if Gary Jr. says dad Could you kick Count Chocula's ass? You're gonna say hell yeah dude. I can kick anyone's ass, right?

I mean, I think it's gonna depend a lot on the context of why he's asking Um, I do have what if he says dad. I think Count Chocula is a bitch. Could you kick his ass? There's your title. God Chocula is a bitch. Oh no, I already have my title. It's written down right. We're written down right here Yeah, you know, I'd probably tell him I could take him but you know, I can you know, I've got a little bit of I got a little bit of runway here while he's still at an age where I can blow his mind by him on Saturday saying Brad Williams is my favorite comedian and on Sunday night I can give him a personalized two camera video of Brad William So like, you know, I get a little bit of leeway because I am able to occasionally pull something like that off Which is I think understandably hard for his little brain to get his head around like he as far as the hunger dome goes Which of the serial mascots Is going to survive? Is it Count Chocula? I think we've gotten into this before

I feel like we have to I don't remember what we said though.

Is that dude is that line at the end of the at the end true because I never heard him talk about collecting cards Yeah, Brian was not necessarily a card collector in the sense that like it's become the social media sensation in the past like 18 months But I think Brian talked extensively about collecting cards as a kid And I think that he still had a bunch of them but for anyone you guys see now I existed even though is yes Even though is a few years younger than me. We existed in the Bay Area in the Jose Cansego Mark McGuire Fucking Bash Brothers era of baseball Uh, we were both in 1987 during the Loma Prieta earthquake And though we had family members that were touched Both of us recall just riding away of an earthquake and going this is fucking cool By the way, I just want you know Dawson you did say era Like I don't know you've we've been through this It's a very complicated thing man.
