 welcome guys to the show. I have jokes where we talk about all the things that make us happy. Maybe we're creative. We're in the industry. I am. I am about there. I am about there. I'm so prepared. And we also talk about notes because the real name of the shows I have notes. My name is Isabel Yola. And with me is my wonderful co-host. It's a me, Carrie. And I'm bringing all of the energy that you want and crave. But more importantly, I'm introducing our two amazing, beautiful, wonderful guests. As always, Erin Wynn. Very excited to have you back. And someone who's been there the whole time, but you just didn't know it. Behind the scenes. Sam Mitchell. Sam the man. Sam, I am. Resident Viking techno Viking. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So this is techno Viking. This is a special edition of I have notes. We are recording this a little bit earlier than we normally do. Because the week that you're listening to this for us next week is RTX week. So we wanted to record a little bit earlier. What that does mean is you're getting some good end of day Friday energy from our like, are we going to level at that vibe? Are we going to vibe here at the like low level energy? Do you need to get on like a hype train with me here, Carrie? I think sometimes it's okay to be down here. But we could go up here. You want to be up here? I'm fine with down here. No, I mean, we could be up here. I'm like low life in every fucking like term, right? So I'm fine with it. But speaking of RTX, our RTX panel is September 24th at 430 central. It's first only and it's going to be featuring Issa, Carrie, Aaron, Jordan, Eddie and Cole. That's all of the high energy I had. So now I'm actually going to be lower than I was before. Just want to put a note out there that Sam says that he's a low life in every term. I don't like that. I don't like that, Sam. I mean, I'm there, trust me. Maybe there's some scummy stuff I'm not into, but like, okay, a lot of scummy stuff. Okay, well, now, now we need to know where the bar is. I mean, like it is respect for other people is something I'm not going to low life, right? But like, sure. Okay, okay, I see. I see. Okay. I mean, just like, I know it's not going to match with the other one when I was talking, when I was talking to Cole the other day and I don't know if it's some low life shit, but we're talking about being mean to people because it's like how just like, yeah, just how fucking sweet bullying is. And like, I know what people need right now. But like dunking on your friends is like, and I think for both of us, it's like, because we grew up and like our friendships were based upon like, like our entire friends groups were just like, let's shit talk each other. That's how we all became friends was like, let's be mean to each other, you know, and you, you do one dumb thing seven years ago, we're bringing it up weekly for the rest of our lives. Like, right? You know, it like, you're not going to shit like, boy, your friends is just so much fucking fun. It's just so great, especially like video games, like, oh my god, dude, beating your friends at video games, just telling them the garbage and shit. And just chef's kids so much fun. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I now understand you explaining yourself in that way. I now understand why there was one game of like, Project Winter that I had with my SO and their friends, and there were a couple of newbies that were new to the friend group, and they had met them because they were playing, what's that new riot first person shooter game? Valorant. Yeah, they met them because they played Valorant together. So they were, they're joining the group for Project Winter. And these guys kept shit talking everyone who they'd never met before, including me. And they were like imitating my laugh, which is like the one thing that I really dislike when I do. No, no. See, that's one thing, you don't shit talk people's like, things they can't change. Like you can't change your laugh, right? You don't talk people's laughs or like wearing glasses or something like that. Like you should talk them for things they can change. But they can change. That's what you, if you shit talk, like if people are like, oh, like I had like, I had this friend, this one friend we shit talk with so much. I don't mean to derail your stories. I'm sorry. But like, it's the reason blowing is also a good thing. And this is getting hot take hot. Oh my God. I think I'm with you already. So we have this friend right in like in high school, like when we first met him, he'd come over and he would come out of like acting class. There's nothing fucking wrong with that. Like the arts are great. Like I'm like, I'm all for it, right? Like I'm probably gonna, we will bust into some improv later. Don't worry, we can all do it. But the point is like, I'm here already. He didn't fucking like it. And like he was with a group of friends there that was like this, you know, and this is 2005. So it's like seeing kid is fuck, right? He's wearing eyeliner and shit. And we would just bust his fucking balls about it. And the thing that happens with people is it boils down. They are not willing to defend or bring anything up that they genuinely don't like because they know they'll be no matter what they will be fucking ridiculed for it. So it boils a person down to only the shit they're passionate about. And then you don't have any fake person left. You bully the fake out of your friends. And then you got great friends. That's why I've had the same friends since I was a kid. We've hurt each other. We've just brought all of it out where it's like, we don't bullshit each other anymore. It's like, look, I worked hard on this. I'm like, I don't like it. You're dumb. And we're like, let's get a drink. Like that's yeah, well, if I was like, go with life. If I was like, how many how many fucking shoes do you need? How many legs you got there? And you'd be like, I like shoes fuck off. And I'd be like, okay, exactly. Yeah. But you know, there's other shit where I'm probably not going to stick with it. And I'll be like, yeah, you're right. That does suck. Like, but yeah, that's life. Also, fucking, can we talk about how most crimes are dope as shit? Like, I was with you. Okay, now we're talking like some petty, petty. Yeah, I'm not talking like murder or nothing. Yeah, I was talking about like jaywalk. What? Yeah, jaywalk is sweet as hell. Like, dude, driving fast, cool as fuck, like, and not don't put people in danger. But like, you know, like, I'm just safe ways to drive fast. Yeah, like, I mean, there's so much stuff you're not supposed to do. That's coolest shit. And yeah, I mean, it also like you can't break in the law is like, our country is a piece of shit. But I do love it. And breaking the law is one of the most fucking American things you can do. So, oh my God, is hella fucking American. It's literally like America's founded on being like, nah, fuck you, government, like, fuck you. Right? Like, boundaries, but yeah, it's just yeah. Yeah, no, I'm I feel like you're one of the kids in high school that would argue with your history teachers about like the dumbest shit. I mean, maybe, but also I didn't go to school. So I didn't ever have that. Yeah, that's right. So when you're in college, you can't really pull that one. I feel like they don't care. They're just like, you're paying it. I don't care. Yeah. You can argue with me. Yeah, I will say that like I'm definitely those people that it's like, oh, my car registration's out. I'll get to that. Oh, yeah, that's me 100%. Being 100% honest right now. I have my new sticker. It's been six months I haven't put it on. It's just sitting there. Okay, I did my registration recently and I still haven't gotten the sticker. I'm like getting a little anxious. Yeah. Yeah. I know the USPS is having some issues, but yeah. I don't know. I don't want to get arrested. They're not going to arrest you for that. No, they're not. There's more and more shit going on. I worry about the dumbest shit to be fair. See, that's the I worry about like important stuff, I guess, but I don't worry about most anything, like something like that. I wish I had that level for me. Well, for me, it's in like, I'll grant that is entirely privilege. I've learned one thing like after I hit like probably 25, I don't know if I've been pulled over. Like I just am so ignorant. And it's, I mean, it's because I'm a white guy, like they see me and I'm just like, check it. And they're like, Oh, God, he's pale. Let him be. Let him be. Live along, sir. That's, yeah. That's the thing. It's like, you know, so I don't know. That's fair. I'm not a fucking worried about any moving traffic violation anymore. And it's insane. Like, I, yeah, it's like, it's the point where it is. It's pretty shitty. Cause like I drive, I want to say like a jackass, but I break a lot of fucking laws. I use my blinkers religiously. I don't drive fast around other people. I don't fuck around when traffic, but like at night, when there's no one around and shit, like, yeah, I go fucking 20 over. I don't give a shit, but only 20. I'm never going to ride in a car with me. I drive like, like, like an old grandma because that's me putting somebody else in danger. Hey, hey, Sam, allegedly, what's the fastest you ever gone? Oh my God. I'll tell you, I'll tell you how fast I've gone. Like, yeah, like 130 allegedly. Probably. I hit 130. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I stopped because that was when I found out that my car had a, I think a governor in it. Oh yeah. And the engine just stopped. Yeah. But that was, yeah, that was like teenage years. I don't want to say that fast anymore. Yeah. Yeah. I, the only time I ever get to know more about Sam nowadays is whenever I'm on a recording with him. And every time Sam says something about himself that I never knew, I just go, Oh, in my head, I go, all right, this is another piece of information to file away about Sam Mitchell. I mean, I think a lot of people, I mean, usually in, especially like I've had it happen, moving into like Rooster Teeth like handful of years ago, working with more than like five people on a daily basis. A lot of people get the impression they're like, that's Sam guy. It's weird. Like there's, okay, I'll tell you a story about this situation in a little bit, but, um, and like I've had it at work and people like, it happened, I think on an episode of Chump or something like that afterwards, because I told like, this is like, Oh yeah, like I kind of grew up in like a cult. And then I was homeschooled my whole life. And I never went to a classroom until like college and shit like that. And they're like, man, that's not sure weird. But like, it adds up the math is there. And I'm like, yeah, I'm not like, there's not, it's not that I'm not weird. It's just like, do the fucking math on how I grew up. And you're like, that adds up. Yep. That's that guy. Literally the first time I'm learning about you being in a cult. Yeah. Could you talk about that more? It was just some weird Christian shit, you know, uh, it was super, it was super Jesusy. It was in Colorado. Um, and yeah, like keep in mind, we left this when I was like six, six, I believe. So like, I don't have a lot of memory. So it was stone temple. There was a, there was like a two story little like stone temple that sat maybe 50 people in a field. Uh, they like women couldn't wear pants. They had to wear dresses. It wasn't like they were nudists or anything like that. It was just like, you know, only that women don't cut their hair. They don't go to doctors. I don't know why. Like the fuck is this? Yeah, some dumb shit like that. Um, very like Adam and Eve stupid shit in a, yeah. So did they think like Hillary Clinton was like the devil for wearing a pants suit or something? Probably. I mean, knowing like any, today this would have been like a gun militia, I'm sure. But yeah. And then so we moved out of that. And then like my parents, mainly my mom was like, well, that was wild. We're not getting back any of that shit. But they didn't want to like abandon religion. And also my mom didn't want to buy other people Christmas gifts. So then we were Jewish for the rest of like my years, which is like, yeah. And like, not, yeah, I'm, we're not touching on anything anti-Semitic here, but there is a lot of humor in deciding to be Jewish and not to buy other people Christmas gifts in like, yeah, it is. Yeah. It is. It is. Yeah. She didn't do the community a lot of favors with that one. But I am really glad for that experience. Cause like, luckily with that, and then like them kind of being a little religion hoppy, I got to learn a lot about other religions and other stuff I might, like you might not get in your normal experience. Like, yeah, like, you know, from that, like my fucking favorite type of bread is challah, because we fuck with challah on like all the Jewish holidays. Right. So, and it's like, there's some great things. And that, that from me always gave me a perspective of like, get into other fucking cultures. No one should ever just be like, no, I'm Christian. I'm gonna stay here, eat this cracker, drink that wine, nothing. It's like, you're missing out on so many dope things. Like, I'm not a religious person, but I love to take a peek inside it and see what's going on. Like, what are you doing? You're a church. What are you guys eating? It's mainly what you eat guys, be honest. Like, that's the only thing you should have. Like nice, nice. You know, it's like, maybe if I find a church where they're doing some like real hoodrat shit, like, you know, they got flats in the back and stuff. Like, I'm done with that, but I don't really want to fuck around with, you know, the religion part. I just want to see what you're eating there. Oh my God, Sam. Give me some of those matzah balls and stuff, but yeah. Sam, the more, the more, the more you talk, the more in the like, the more I've got to know you, like, I'm just realizing how much we would have been like friends in high school if you'd been allowed to go to high school. Oh, 100 years, absolutely. Because like, you're, you're like, you just keep saying like, oh yeah, I'm weird. I'm like, are you like not really like, I'm like everything you're saying about like, yeah, just like your entire friend group being about insulting each other is like how I grew up. I mean, if you could make somebody like the ultimate victory was like, if you're playing a smash and you can make someone rage quit, like you won the day. Yeah. Like that is how you actually win smash is to make somebody rage quit. That's all Alex, my roommate and friends in high school, it's all he fucking does is play Bowser, grab you and go off the edge. That's a friend for life. I was going to say, Carrie, when you mentioned like you and Sam would probably be friends if I had, I'm like, yeah, yeah, Sam would fit really well with you and Alex. Do y'all need a third roommate? Yeah, right. All we ever did was like, just joke with people until they hated us. And then they ended up liking us somehow strangely. I mean, that's, yeah, that's kind of how it worked. Yeah. Hey guys, this episode of I Have Notes is sponsored by Marvel's Avengers.

I said you would talk about what you do in your day to day. How many become nails and stuff? I don't even know. I've been in this job and industry for so long now that I have no fucking idea what I would do if I wasn't doing this. I started a spear tag about a decade ago, so I have no idea what to do. I don't even know what resumes is. Is that what you call them? Resumes? I don't know what to do about it. I ain't fucking touched one in a decade. Resume. Yeah, resumes. My backup is crabfishing. I love the catch, so I can't- Have you actually gone crabfishing? No, I can't swim. I can't swim. That's true. So I don't go on boats a lot. I tried. I'm too dense. Too dense. I mean, it's a fun double entendre there. But I feel like, look, if you're in that cold water and you fall off, there's no point swimming. You're done for anyways. I can give up. I just like deadly catch a lot. But no, I've never been crabfishing, but I would just go do it. It's probably better than burning it in an S, so it's easier to accept, I'm sure. I brought this. We have a weekly creative meet, and I brought it up when it was a small group, and then eventually, people trickled in as the meeting started. But I think it was like Noel. Sammy might have been there, actually. You kind of just snuck in. Sucked with Noel Wiggins and Joshua Kazemi, and I was just like, yo, you guys ever think about doing something? What is your plan B, if this doesn't work out? Because it has been a time for us, for each individual one of us, and we definitely came in, like, oh God. And I fantasize about just applying for 85 degrees that's near the Kino Konea, and just being like, can I just be cashier? Because at least I know I'm good at customer service. I'll get tips. You get lots of tips if you do cashier stuff. I was a seasonal Dunkin' Donuts employee, and so it's just the simple life of just manual labor of being at a cashier and asking people what kind of milk they want in their coffee. That's me right now. It is definitely, we're all in jobs in this field. I mean, this whole field is volatile, especially with COVID. You never know what's going on now. But my entire life is answering questions. And I do really sometimes just dream of like, somebody just tell me what to do. Somebody just tell me what to do, and I'll just do it. And let me just listen to music for four hours, and just like, let me go. I'll go work at Amazon. Come here daddy basis. I'll just go and throw boxes around and scan stuff. Like, I'm not saying it's an easy job, but it's a different part. And I think I could maybe use that for a while. I don't know. That's like, whenever I'm at my tiredest. Yeah, my biggest thing with that, the concept of like another job is that you get to like go home. And that's it. You're done. Like you don't, like there's never a point where I think any of us like stop thinking about the next task for work because we have like undefined roles and tasks and all this bullshit. It's like, when you're serving tables, like I served tables and worked in bars for a long time before, like that's what I did my whole life before this point. Yeah, you just like you do your job, you show up, you're like, okay, you need a fucking beer and you need some fries and we're done. And then I go home at the end of the night. And that's, I don't think about work at all until I'm back at work. And that's great. That's the fucking dream. Like you just don't think about work. Whereas with this, it's like, I've not not thought about work for the last decade. And I'm just fucking tired. Well, here's my thing. And I wonder if this is why we are the way we are, why we're in this industry. Is that what would happen? Or are we all the kind of people that would then go home be like, I wonder if we could rearrange the tables to have a better flow? Like, like, are we, are we just those people? Cause like when I'm, when I'm super excited about a project and like, I like, and like I'm into it, I love the fact that like I'm always thinking about stuff. It's only when I'm tired that I'm just like, yeah, I just want to turn my head off. Yeah. I don't know. I think what I, what I'm starting to say is I think we're broken. I think that we're broken bad people. And that we're going to do this no matter what. Maybe a little, I mean, maybe a little bit. Erin, where are you going to say something? Oh, I like how y'all are like, your plan B is just like the total opposite of what you currently do. I feel like I'm so in twisted with art. Like it would still, my plan B would still be art related. I think I want to be like a tattoo artist. That's cool. Yeah. Or an art historian. You can just probably go to like, here's, well, here's this. Like you could just be like, hi, I'm Erin Wynn, art director for Ruby. Now the furry commissions are open and you just go live on an island. You can probably legit double your salary with furry commissions. Especially if you have the fucking athletes behind you, where you can crush it like so much money. So like you don't even have to worry about your second job. Yeah, you're there. This is true. You could be the first. Yeah. Alex and I have this conversation so many times. Yeah. Like he'll always like slack me or come up to me at the office and be like, so when do you just start those furry commissions? Are those like hentai commissions? That's because he secretly wants it. Yes. Yeah. I kind of accept that. Okay. Just before, before you go to your island to do your, your furry and hentai, uh, commissions, can you all, can you, can you ink me up first and then go because I would love an Erin Wynn tattoo? Do you want some furry hentai tattoo art on you? I'd like you to separate those two things though. I don't know that we need to combine the furry hentai and the tattoo. I think we could do just the tattoo. If I combine them, would I get even more money? Is there, is there a market for both? Yeah, you just, you set up a thing like, Hey, I got no morals. You want, you want some weird furry hentai shit? I'll do it. What does morals have to do with like naked animal? I'm sure there's probably like a handful of hentai places that will be like, I ain't doing that, but you're right. Probably, I mean a handful of there's nothing. I don't think there's anything morale, like, like, testing your own guidance maybe, but like, there's nothing morally wrong about drawing an anthem before a furry person like furry advocate. I know. No, no, no, I know something. I mean, I'm just an advocate of like, fucking, right? Like get dirty, like whatever. It's not, it doesn't hurt people. I don't care like what you are doing or what your parts are. Like if there's consent in everyone's having fun, who gives the shit what you do. There's some tattoo artists that like won't do shit. I will say, did y'all see the the fucking video I can't remember we talked about in here of the guy who got the tiktok logo tattooed onto his face? No, it was like, when they thought it was closing down, he got the like the tiktok tee like right here. There's just a video of like the tattoo artist finishes it up, leans back and the guy getting tattoo goes, is it lit? And the tattoo artist just goes, I mean, it's what you asked for. Yeah, that's good Lord. I mean, I mean, there's definitely artists that will be like, no swastikas, nothing, nothing like that. No hate symbols. Well, yeah, because that's some bad shit. Yeah, that's bad. No, there's nothing. There's nothing wrong with there's like furry hentai tattoos, but Erin can make up her specialty. Yeah, I'll do it first. I can't say I like is a symbol of hate. A wolf dick is just some like, that's, that's your fucking thing, I guess. I don't know. Not a symbol of hate. So whatever. Okay. Yeah. Oh my god. There you go. Now if it's a swatska made out of wolf dicks, we'd have a problem. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now we're back in the problem zone. Exactly. Yeah. And this is where Sam doesn't want to be. We found the area that's bad. Do you have tattoos, Carrie? Or are you just like? No, I don't yet. I keep wanting to. Do you want some? Yeah, we should definitely do it. I was just about to get one and then the shit happens. Yeah. Yeah, you really need to get one of mine touched up and I've been waiting for like a year and I was like, all right, this is I'm going to do it this month and then COVID happened. Oh, no. So I even longer a mission for it. I used to be so like methodical and thought out about tattoos and be like, I think I know what I want, like I think about a lot. And now, now I'm at the point where I realize this is absolutely not what you should do. You are going to grow up and think back on your tattoo and it will not ever be as perfect as the time you got it and it doesn't matter. So just get some shit that isn't like bad and you're good. So just get the tiktok logo on my face. Maybe not that. Right there. Right there. That's, that's one. I mean, keep it off the major stuff. Like just not the face. Yeah. He said, do you have it? I do. Oh, that's right. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. I always thought that was just sharpening. He did it every week. Yeah, every week, every day. I would do it. Oh man, actually, fun fact. I've been warning my mom for the longest times like, mom, I'm going to get a tattoo because it's very tied to tied to something very significant that happened. That had happened when I was growing up. And so I was wanting my mom like, hey, I'm gonna get one. I'm gonna get one. And she's like, I think for the longest time, she didn't, she didn't want to believe it until I took a picture. And then like an hour later, my sister texts me and she's like, Papa's really mad. And I'm like, what is he going to do? Disown me? I live in Texas. So it's a, they love me still undo the good news is they love me still and they got used to it. Okay, that's good. Do anything about it. Yeah. That's how my parents ended up. Yeah, my dad's always been super chill. My mom's like always joked about disowning me if I ever got one. But like maybe a week later after I got it, she's like, Oh, right. I feel like if your parents, if you, if you have the kind of relationship with your parents where they can joke about disowning you, they're not going to disown you. This is true. One would I have like, Oh, no, Sam, over the normal parents. I do too, actually. So by the time the similarities continue, like by the time I got, I was 18, I was like, I don't think I'm going to get a tattoo. My mom was like, yo, I always thought I wouldn't get ever get tattoos because when I got old, they would look bad. And then now my skin's all wrinkly and it looks bad anyway. So I probably should have just got tattoos anyway. So just go do it, do it, right? Yeah, I got my first tattoo. I was like, Oh, that's really cool. I like it a lot. And I was like, damn, my mom's so supportive. And then like, I got my second tattoo, like, I don't know, a year later, she's like, I can ugly be like, Oh, I have the most loving and also meanest mother ever. It is she just shoots straight 100% of the time. Like, you know what? Yeah, she's honest. Yeah. And in some ways, yeah, that's fucking honest. But yeah, your mom bullies you like you bully your friends. That's where you got it. It may be, but I don't know if it's bullying. She's just like, she'll call. She'll call. She's like, yeah, I don't know. Watch the podcast the other day. So you can gain and weight and I'm like, bitch, God damn, what the fuck is this? Like, she's mean as shit. But she's loving it. Yeah, I mean, damn, ma. She's great though. Wonderful woman. That's very straightforward. Make sure to show her this podcast. Yeah, this one. No, not this one. No. I don't send her shit. When I get my tattoo, I will not show it to your mom. Okay, that's fine. I mean, depends how good it is, man. We'll see. We'll see. What's, uh, because we know, we never did it on Friday. What's everybody up to this weekend? Hopefully disconnecting from work and chilling. You better. Yeah, at this point. Ugh, something about this week has been the worst. I don't know. It's because we had Monday off and the whole week got compressed to four days instead of five. That's probably it. It fucks the whole thing up. Yeah, time is subjective. Time is a manmade construct. Yeah. If it says that a human on average eats 23 spiders in their lifetime, time says, oh, if on average you experience this many horrors in one week. Also, I really don't want to eat that many spiders. I hope it's as many as I thought it would be. A 23 in your life. I feel like this is also just skewed by like 10 mother fuckers who are really into eating spiders. This guy just ate 70,000 spiders. Oh yeah. I'm a spider breeder and I don't cage them. No, no, I don't cage them. They live my belly because it's warm and then they come back out. I'm their tauntaun. I used to be afraid of spiders or did I say afraid? They just, I didn't like them a lot. And then I had one of my cars get infested by spiders. And let me tell you, that is the cheapest confrontation therapy I've ever had in my life. Like, well, now every time you want to go anywhere, you're fucking spider-man. But with the spiders, like, oh, we got hella chilled by the end of it. Like, you know, they would say I'm the passenger seat. I'd be like, stop fam. Maybe like, not much. Just, you know, how do you not just immediately set your car on fire? Uh, because you actually can't do that. You have a job and you have to go to work and shit. Yeah, that's fair. I would have loved to if I was wealthy enough, but it was poor as fuck. Like, I'm going to just throw a car away. So yeah, you got to keep driving it. Oh man. It was funny though. Everyone knows our dear other anim producer or dev producer now Austin Harper. I picked him up from Fort Worth. And I knew, like we had to get back, like we had to get like 40 minutes down the road. I knew he was not going to get in my fucking car if I didn't tell this man about the spiders, or if I told him about it, he was going to be like, no, no. And so what happens is the spiders would go into the dash and like the AC vents and stuff, right? And, but once the engine got hot in the front, they would start coming out. So it's like, by the time, like, you know, we pull out of his apartment complex and get on the highway and then he's like, dude, there's spiders coming out of your vents. And I'm like, I know, dog. Just don't worry about it. Don't worry. It's just like, don't turn the fans on. They will go in your face. Okay. Hang on. Wait. Okay. And now I got to, I got into two things. Size and amount. Density of spiders. What happened was my car was on like a grass lot under a tree in like a kind of country-ish area. Oh, so you made a spider home. Three months. Well, yeah, three months while it was broken down, the alternator was fucked. And then finally we replaced the alternator. And like after the first drive, I was like, man, my car is dirty. The hood is like, it's a white car. The hood's like fucking brown right now. And then I was like, why isn't the dirt on the hood moving? What the fuck is going on? And then I went outside the restaurant. I was like, I was at like the front scene out of a window the first time I drove in. I was like, team is dirty. And then yeah, I was like, those are spiders. Oh no. And then I looked inside and there was the white little Krabby boys that do this thing. And then there was, there was some little jump friends, which would have been worse thing. You know, honestly, the little guys that do jumpies, like I think they're, they're not a wolf spider. They might be wolf spiders. They do little hops though. And they're a little fuzzy. But see, the other thing that made this all thing more tolerable is that this is an old Mazda Miata. So you can put the top down. So you would like the little jump man would get on the dash and he'd be like, I'm gonna get you. And you'd be like, yeah. So it was, it was okay. You just took the top down and like that was actually it was really funny. I think it was driving with Austin when it was still infested with spiders in because we had the top down because it really helps with the spiders. And but it started not a sentence that should exist. I mean, you got to go to some hood rash. You're saying that being in like, I was never truly like impoverished because like I could have always sucked up my pride and asked like for help from my parents and they gladly would have, but like her for a good time of college, like I just, you know, it's too proud to ask for help and that kind of shit. So I was like genuinely pretty fucking poor, right? I lived in a like a thousand six hundred square foot house with, I think it was five other adults, two children and a dog and two cats, right? Like and a million spiders. Yeah, it was, it was, it was disgusting. But yeah, it was like, it was like, man, nothing, nothing really brings you into a depressed space, like having a hundred thirty square foot room in a house full of fucking terrible people. But there is some shit about being poor that is so much fun. And you have the most dumb adventures because like if you're doing well, you can just be like, nah, I'll just fix this problem. But you're not. So you have to get in the car with your buddy and have the top down so the spiders don't attack you. But then it starts raining and you just have to drive around in a fucking like thunderstorm with the convertible down like an asshole, like on some sort of shitty motorcycle with your friend. And like it's great times just thinking back on it. Like I was, that was a shitty day, but now I look back on it. I'm like, that was some fun shit. Like good times. Oh my god. You get to the gas station, pick up your steel reserve, pal down, play some games later. It's awesome. I think it's good to at least live in like one shitty place. Like this is fair in your life just because it like, you know, and obviously again, why dude, it might, you know, my shitty is not necessarily going to be a shitty as everybody else. But I mean, like, yeah, the first place I moved into was infested with bugs. And I fucking hated it. But definitely, you know, toughen me up a little bit in terms of the bugs crawling on you all the time. And now I still hate bugs. Go figure. I didn't have the same experience you had. I didn't, I didn't, I never refer to them as my little jump buddies. When you spend some time with them, they get better, but the one bug that fucks with me is cockroaches. And I just moved to this house a little while ago and we got fucking cockroaches. And I am pushing the confrontation the other night. It was it's been my nightmare for a long time laying in bed. Just like, I know these motherfuckers are somewhere is pitch black. Bam, motherfucker, and I grab them, I feel them and I throw them against the wall. And then like, I flick on, well, I should, I should do the story first, right? So I could not fucking sleep because my girlfriend was out in the living room. And she's watching this new HBO show about like the East Side rapist, which is just like, you know, I don't really, you know, good, good comfort TV. Yeah, exactly. It is the most like, and then she's like, she's the point that night where she's like, we take the dogs out. Like I'm too scared to go aside in case the side break is out there. I'm like, yeah, this is like finished the documentary. Don't watch it. This is insane. And like, I watched part of an episode with her and I was like, fuck this true crime shit. Can't do it. And, um, and like the whole time they're talking about how this guy would bust into people's house and you're always busted on like couples and he would like blind him with a flashlight and while they're in bed and he had me like holding a knife or a gun. And this anyways, it's that night. I just am laying there. I can't sleep because every time there's like a tree shadow on the window. I'm like, it's him. Like, you know, in this fucking cockroach lands on my fucking beard and I throw him against the wall and I grab my phone really quick and I point on it and I see him. He scuttles away this little son of a bitch. And then I get out and like, I'm like, I gotta get him. And I know like right near the, there's like a, the patio doors are like right in front of the bed this way. I was like, I got a little flip flop. This is that I keep there for like just, you know, going outside whenever I take the dogs out. So I was like, grab a flip flop and I, but I turn on my phone light and then I'm like, wait, my girlfriend's in this bed. If she sees me with a phone light and a flip flop, she's going to lose her shit. So I got to be super sneaky. So I'm like sneaking around the room, trying to keep the light down. Like, where's this bastard? I can't find the fucking cockroach. Like trying to smack him for like 30 minutes trying not to wake up my girlfriend because I know if she wakes up, she's going to scream and think I'm the east side rape. It's a fucking terrible situation. And that's, yeah, that was, that was like my fucking Tuesday or some shit. So this is life's rough. Something has, sorry, this is, this is something has ruined me about being in animation where now I just think about the ability of like, I just want to take exactly what you did and put you like in the middle of like a subway car or just like just having you like, where is he? Where is he? Like, I just want to change your background on you. Because that would be incredible. And also, fuck that, fuck cockroaches, no way. I think, I think this is one of the like little nice parts about being in like this medium that we're currently in the podcast to any time I have some bad shit happening to me in my life like that, even though it's not that fucking bad, it's just a bug in the stupid situation. I'm at least in my bird, the back of my brain like, well, talk about this shit on podcast sometimes. I don't people realize this free silver lining to everything this shit. It's like, yeah, everything. I have notes, it's just therapy for us. That's all we're really is. It's just for us to complain about things that don't matter. And we're sorry, but hopefully it's at least a little funny. Sometimes I, if you, I learned this, I learned this from my first apartment. If you, if you think that you have like a bug infestation and you really want to fucking freak yourself out and check, set an alarm for like three or four in the morning, wake up and turn your flashlight. Just look around the room. It's not only are you guaranteed to have a bad night's sleep, you will probably have a worse one when you find all the fucking bugs. Yeah. That's how you know. And it's bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about not, I don't have a topic. I just literally I've been hitting people with this one recently because like it's just on the top of my dome constantly right now. Um, top five pastas, like top by the best pastas. Cause I think a lot of people sleep in life. They're just like, Oh, grab this fucking pack of angel hair and angel hair. I know this is gonna hot take. It's offended a lot of people fucking trash pasta. I hate angel hair too. It sucks. Like nobody's doing anything interesting. Like we're sitting here like in my tops. I got, I got Bukitini. That's just a thick spaghetti with a hole in it. Like a straw. It's so saucy. It's so good. I'm about to do some googling. Hang on. Yeah. You get even spellier or some shit like that. A Bukitini. I mean, it's one of those Italian words. You just got to go for it and hope Google's got your back. All right. Yeah, they do. Don't worry. Hey, don't spell like book. Yeah. No, they're like fun little straws. Yeah. They're fucking nice little star straws. Like, I mean, no key. No key from heaven. Let's talk about this. Oh, yeah. I love, I love some little starch pillows. Is lasagna pasta the other day? Lasagna is a pasta. It's square pasta. It's big square pasta shape sheets, which I think is more interesting than a lot of people give a credit because everybody's just doing the one thing with lasagna, but the technical lasagna pasta. I bet if you tried to think outside the box, we could be doing mad interesting stuff with a big sheet. Do you like an appetizer, like a little small, like single, single one? I mean, we're in the area of deconstruction. Yeah, you could do that. Yeah. Yeah. I can tell Aaron is impressed by how much knowledge and passion Sam is talking about this. I am. I'm in awe. I don't know how fucking with starch like I do. It's so good. I love carbs myself, but yeah, they're the best. I'm gonna say that's what you think about pasta and it is mind blowing because you know bread came first, right? Somebody had this sweet loaf. They were like, look at this. This is great. And then they were like, it's the best we've ever done. This is probably like, I don't know how could it possibly be better? 36,000, 3600 BC, right? There's this guy who's made bread. He's like, this is so good. And somebody's like, man, you know what? I'm going to change the game. We're going to make it really long, real thin. And he's like, that sounds weird. So we're going to make it hot. He's like, are you going to use this? And then we're going to make it wet. And I'll be like, we're not doing whatever weird bread idea you've got. I don't want to worry. Don't worry. We're going to put so much fucking salt in it that you would never believe that it's still edible. And it's going to be pretty much, I mean, it is wonderful, but the base concept of long wet bread just sounds so bad. But pasta is amazing. Yeah. I mean, that's what it is. Long wet bread. Like it's too bad. It's fucking terrible for you because I love it. Oh, yeah. Ramen, the noodle is just liquid bread. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of beer is liquid bread. This is why bread is the best food. We were talking about how the seltzers are getting out of hand right now, because like everybody got them. Shiner just started one. The barefoot, they have seltzer wine. Hey, Sam, I got that fucking downstairs. I'm going to try it tonight. Hell yeah. People are just losing their minds with it and like that is, it is literally, if you could be like a bread seltzer, that is beer. Yeah. It is. We're at this. You've gone around. I was at the store and I saw barefoot wine seltzer and I went, this is fucking ridiculous. It needs to stop. I'm going to try it. Through this whole podcast, I figured out we're the same fucking people because I can not go into a place and like not try the new soda or not try the new drink thing on the show. Like why would you not? There's like a new candy bar. I'm like, I gotta fucking try it. Like yeah, it's like a brand. I don't even like I'm not even thrilled about it. I just got to it. It's like the cheapest new experience you're going to have in a day. So you might as well get it. It's like new experiences are generally, even if they're not great, it's great to have that experience in your repertoire. So you might as well have fucking experiences and that boils down to buy the dumb bubbly stuff. Like I got to eliminate the other day. They're truly not good, but I'm not. Yeah, truly is awful. I still have some. Yeah, I actually blame code for that. Except for pickle beer. I'm not going to fucking try pickle beer. Sam, were you going to try pickle beer? Yeah. Sam, where are you at? Where are you at vis-a-vis pickle beer? I haven't had it, but I'm sure it's fine. We used to do in the bar I worked at, like our bar shot was like whiskey, like Wickels, like so you do the whiskey with a pickle back. Wickels. Yeah, it was. That's a really good villain name for a kid's show. Yeah, Wickels. It's also like Wickels is a good cat name, too. I could, I could. Come here, Mr. Wickels. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's pretty good. Just don't, don't slam Mr. Wickels. I've been wanting to get a hairless cat and name him, or her peri wrinkle. That's like my one life goal. Oh my god. That's your one life goal. Nobody's doing my idea. Wait, this is your one life goal. Can we, can we step back? Can we do like a little stop here on Aaron? You have one life goal, which is so achievable. Yeah. It's Friday. By Monday, you could be done. Somebody send me a hairless cat. Yeah, I saw sponsorship. I will take it. I think it was on Reddit. Maybe two. I don't know. I'm going to dog shave for you, but that's I saw a hairless cat who had gone blind or something wrong with their eyes. So they took out their eyes. It was like a zombie cat. I mean, it was beautiful. Metal, metal looking cat. Yeah. Find it and drop it. And it's like unsettling like a cat skull. Yeah. Yeah. It's like unsettling, but like strangely beautiful at the same time. Yeah. It's so weird. I don't know. I don't think I could do hairless cat. I love for the cat name is Jasper. I feel like Jasper. I feel like the pet wouldn't be as good, but also, I think it's weird that people talk about it. That could make sense. They got like a little like a like a peach. Yeah. The way people talk about animals, I always think is weird. Like you can, you can talk about animals and like, I want this kind. I want that kind. And you just say some wildly weird shit. It's like German Shepherd. Those are mean dogs. Like he just like literally just generalized an entire fucking species or breed of an animal. And it's like, if you ever talked about fucking people, the way you talk about dogs or cats, it would be so fucking unacceptable. So I always think it's weird when people are just like, I only want this one kind. I only mess with gold retrievers. All their dogs are lesser dogs. And I'm like, fucking, Hey, like what is this shit? You can't say less. You say that, but there's legitimate people like that and they're called racist. Yeah. That's why I'm like, I'm not going to be dog racist. Like I'm just like, I'm going to go, I'm going to go one. I know like I'm a little more of a cat person, but like, I'm just going to go to the, to the shelter and like just see what cat I vibe with. Like, I'm not going to be like, that fuzziness or something like long hair shortcut. I'm just like, do we vibe like you nap? Do we vibe in? Yeah, it's, I, yeah. If I, if I spoke the way that I did about pickles about people, I, I would not be here. And I shouldn't be. But cats and dogs are sentient. Like you could shit talk a pickle because it don't, you're not going to hurt the pigs. Okay, that's fair. So many weird somebody summed it up once was like, and this is not true for everybody, obviously, but like, I feel like cat people are like, oh yeah, I prefer cats. They cuddle and I don't have to take them out. And you know, I just prefer cats, but I like to, you know, dogs are, dogs are cool. And then dog people are just like, fuck cats. I fucking hate cats. I'm going to let my dog eat my cat. I don't like, that's just been my experience. Oh, there's, there's Jasper. Jasper Jasper Jasper Jasper. Jasp. So fucking metal. He's very cool. Yeah. I just want to look at him. Yeah, I knew six member Jasper six. Yeah. Jasper. Yeah. We can just take off stash chance hair and give me a hairless. Glasses on top of Jasper. There you go. And they will cover the best part though. I just like, like Jasper, the next time we do any animated project that has like an old witch or wizard, like Jasper is that their pet. Oh, 100%. Like that guy looks like he could just be chilling with like a witch. They're best friends, right? Like, oh yeah. Wait, this is the, this is the much darker. This is the gritty reboot of Kiki. Like this is what we are right here, right? You know, well, and you realize like halfway through that like it's, it's, they have like glass eyes and then like the wizard takes one of the eyes out and uses it in like a concoction. Like the ring was hidden inside there the whole time. Oh, yeah. You see Jasper like, you know, I'm just like, you sure he ain't a horcrux? Like, I don't know something about that cast mystical. Like, you know, he's got mystical lines. Kari, you mentioned you like wear back, right? Mission what? You liked wear back the dinosaur movie. Oh hell yeah. Professor screw eyes. Oh yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's what it is. God, that's such a not good movie that I love. That's terrible. That's such a like genuinely bad movie that I really like. It's one of those movies that has like kind of a scary ending or at least ending to a character. Like he just gets spoilers. He gets eaten by like crows. Yeah. It's just like a bunch of a bunch of birds to send upon him and the whole he's got a screw eye the whole movie and then a bunch of birds just to send on him and then they leave and just a screw I falls under the ground and that's it. So cool. And then it's like roll credits. This is a kids movie. I do what a lot of kids movies in our generation had like that one scene that was fucking terrifying. Tarzan. There's a Tarzan like Lion King fucking Anastasia like there's a super fun. You want a really good laugh from a sister production. Fun House did a GTA 5 video not too long ago that it's called the Don Bluth podcast. And they just talk about how just all of the Don Bluth movies are just fucked up and just a whole era to like not him but like a brave little toaster like it's it's it's all fucked the the beginning of land before time like our generation just had all these movies that were like yeah hey you know we're gonna do at the very beginning sad yeah we're gonna make you really sad I mean it's up it's yeah I don't yeah I don't know it's up yeah yeah it's I mean I guess it makes you more invested yeah up I fucks you love those first three minutes yeah but then but now yeah but and this is what they're talking about in the podcast too so now I'm just we're just I'm just repeating that episode y'all uh but like the emoji movie is just like we look back at like the land before time and like the brave little toaster were like oh man that was like you know made me think a little bit and then you watch the emoji movie it's like ha poop it's poop that talks I don't know I'm I'm tired I'm judging on your point of regurgitating a podcast though please I I've wanted to do it for a while where you just have we have a podcast where we just do other people's podcasts for an episode I can do that like you just I think maybe we should do a special podcast here we come yeah that could be the don't lose yeah we'll title it we off the spot we do on topic you can do always closed like we just like go through them right like just we're fine I'm set I'm ready oh my god I'm ready to do it because you know what the best part about that is is I don't have to think I can I can finally just be the puppet that I want to be and just just don't blue make scary movies you know and he's like I'm a real boy now and you're like that was your bad move you flex yourself you should have so much that was your first mistake let me tell you from first hand experience being a real boy kind of fucking sucks yeah hey guess what next year taxes are due deal with that we're not gonna fucking tell you how much you owe and if you get it wrong we'll arrest you it's true yeah or you could be a puppet and sit on a shelf and have people like you but then lie sometimes I guess I don't know um I mean toy stories told us the exact opposite oh my god sit on the shelf and people will forget about you oh yeah what's your purpose in life toy story fucked up my concept of object permanence and inanimate objects and to this day like I will still sometimes like I'll crush a soda can I'll be like I'm sorry soda can yeah I think that's why a lot of times I like to treat stuff I use a lot like a little caricature like or something like that like you get stuff like you don't want it I don't like it's also like I think it comes from like just not having a lot of stuff at one point but like respecting objects and stuff mm-hmm it's just maybe a good same thing with computers you don't want to be too mean to them you know in case you pop off on you one day so yeah it's your objects you don't like you know the choice to a rebellion is a really lame and embarrassing thing anytime I like reinstall windows on my computer I just like I put my hand on I go thanks computer and then I reinstall it because I thank you for all the times that you've you've helped me out it's like the Marie Kwan do kind of stuff there's this like and I do think you know your life's a little better when you if you give up that kind of ground to like give something a little bit of your emotional permanence it makes things more important to you and that's like the good thing the good thing about life is having shit that's important to you if you have nothing life that's not important you it's probably fucking lame right yeah so and who cares what that thing is like if you like a fucking knickknack on your shelf a lot that's fine nobody gives a shit like as long as you have that enjoyment in life and that level of liking so yeah you give some shit are those foot coffins behind you and you love them they're more they're more like they're more like thick socks we're like oh yeah there you go socks these are big daddy socks right here that's what you so our flip-flops uh just open caskets for your feet I don't want to talk about the trash shoe that's flip-flops should be out if you're happy with that would you like me less if you knew that most of the time I went out of my house now I wear flip-flops I mean I got some socks oh you can't see socks on the sandals hell yeah oh hell yeah what is wrong with you the best part is now now I can go to celebrity feet and Aaron's sandal will be on there yeah oh that's oh my alternate job what selling feet pics on only fans yeah 100 sell feet pics sometimes I check to see if I'm on celebrity feet pics just to see if there's a market and I'm like okay no not yet I will you give a joke about only fans in my experience it is so hard to set up like I was trying to make one for a grip yeah I got like I got like my often you because you have to

you Sam the normally Sam Sam makes a thumbnail while we're recording yeah so I'm I'm excited to see what happens when he when he has to think about it a little bit more and like like like like just date with it I mean like you've had all this time to think it's probably going to be pasta related I would like that like maybe you're only fans do a sexy thing you said you said you said Sam energy earlier like I've always thought like the comes in like the level of like what I like to like the vibe I want to bring is like chicouterie in a very seedy alley like that's my shit right like I want some like low life like high touch shit where it's just like that because that's very hard but I can't think of that thumbnail like you I think it's probably gonna be it's probably just gonna be a bouquetini the starch straw or the carb straw but you know see now I'm just imagining like a really nice like wooden board but then just a bunch of bunch of like lunchables dopped dumped on to him so it's like he had the right idea I think the chicouterie is I'd see that's right I'd rather that's the point that's everything I get behind it's like I want the nice like I want to pay for the meat and the cheese not the board or the atmosphere or that kind of shit like I'll make my own atmosphere with my friends in a seedy back alley I just want some nice cheese right you want the high quality meat and cheese but you don't care if you're eating it off like the ground like some like yeah like a fucking old trash handling that's being carried around by a rat like whatever that's you know I'm honestly I'm in the same boat I'm in the same boat yeah yeah all right that's bye everybody I love you
