Schlatt Receives His Greatest Gift
01:02:42 Share

I weaseled Schlatt into recording an extra podcast because- I said I didn't want to do it. He didn't want to do it. Because we have two already today, which requires at least, at the minimum, two hours. Well, here's the thing. No, and here's the thing. We had Eddie on last podcast, and we went for an hour and 40 minutes. Okay, counter thing. Counter thing, keep going. Turn the dial. De-counter to your counter thing. Turn the dial the other way, and let me continue talking. All right. I don't want to.

We showed up at 12 and our first podcast is at 2. So for the sake of- A clerical error by Ted Nivison. And just to dig in a little further, guys, it is Big Thursday. It is Big Thursday. And I just want to wish a happy Big Thursday to all you biggins out there. Happy Big Thursday, guys. And the bigots. The bigots too. Happy Big Thursday. We may not be releasing this podcast on a Thursday, but-

I could assure you that when you are listening to it, you are hearing it from the mouths of people that are enjoying the bounties of Big Thursday. Try and channel the Big Thursday spirit. Get big while listening to this one. I suppose we should go around and sort of just talk about, I mean, since it is Big Thursday, just for the sake of the holiday, I mean, what does Big Thursday mean to you? My grandfather fought in the big war. Of Big Thursday? Yeah, and things started off small, but...

They got big. And so really I'm just grateful here that we can be here. We can be big together. Yeah. I'm big right now. You're huge. You're massive. Thank God. Not a big fan of small Sunday. Honestly, we could do away with it. Small Sunday. Yeah. I think it's bigotry to have small Sunday. Yeah. Here's the thing. I think, you know, it sounds vaguely religious, right? Christianity would be so much cooler if instead of

Good Sunday and Ash Wednesday or whatever the fuck they do. Just call it big. What's the day Jesus rose from the dead? Big rising. Big Friday. I do like that. He got big. He got big. And it's also just a big day for Christians everywhere. Big Friday. That's the day Jesus came back. Not good Friday. Who cares about good? It was good. But before it was good, it was big.

Before it was good, it was bad. Everybody wants to be good. Everyone wants to be a little bit bad. And you can be a little bit bad on Big Thursday. You can. You can be a little bit bad on any day of the week. It's easier to be a little bad when you're a little bit first. Everybody talks about Thanksgiving like they know what they're talking about. But in reality, I mean, there is nothing better than a big Thursday, big feast. You don't want a small turkey on Thanksgiving, do you? No, you don't. So in a way, the main descriptor of Thanksgiving is, in fact...

Big. And Thanksgiving always falls on a Thursday. But it's not Big Thursday. It's not Big Thursday. And that's the biggest mistake.

as one would say on big thursday of thanksgiving um i mean everybody loves the big feast of big thursday i mean you've got yourself some some some big big chicken um some some big cups everyone's got big cups huge cups you know what they say before you're before you're going to eat they say big in yeah and then you yep and oftentimes i mean it's good most of the time if you're trying to to deal with

With your dysphagia, you're drinking the thick water. What the hell is that? You're drinking the thick water, but on Big Thursday, it's called Big Water. I guess it is kind of. Thick water really is just big water. It's huge water. Because the water itself has gotten bigger. Itself is bigger. Yeah. Yeah. What's your favorite big meal from Big Thursday, Big Feast? Big Mac. Big Mac? That's what I like to hear. You're quick on that. That's good. What else is Big Egg?

They don't have big egg. They've got big egg. They don't have big egg. I'm sure that they've got a big egg. No, here's big egg. Two egg. No, it's not two egg. Big egg is just two egg. No, this isn't two Thursday. It's big Thursday. I'm just saying there's no item on the menu called big egg. Ostrich. Ostrich. Ostrich egg. Ostrich egg. Thank you, Borf. I appreciate you. Borf, keep chiming in. A pretty big bird. Keep chiming in. I like your input on this big Thursday. So, big egg. What about you? Favorite big? Favorite big? Big.

You can take your time, man. It's Big Thursday. There's not really a lot of pressure. Really, on Big Thursday, all I'm looking for is just a big meal. Aren't we all? Almost a prerequisite of Big Thursday. Big bacon, big games. Baconator? Baconator. I like to biggin' in my company. I'm biggin' in my factory. I'm biggin' in my corporate. Indie...

What are you saying? What are you possibly saying? What are you screaming about? No, no, keep going. I want to see if I can decipher what the hell he's fucking talking about. Keep going, keep going. Indy Bening- Indy. What? What is this? What's going on here? Indy Bening. Indy Bening? What are you fucking saying? Indy Bening. Indy Bening.

He is. It doesn't seem like anything real is coming out of your mouth. It's like you're speaking in wingdings. How about big dings? Yeah, there we go. Big dings.

So one of the things that I think is the most exciting about Big Thursday is that we're getting ready for the big celebration that happens every year. I was thinking about just doing something small. One of the first things that we did were- What the fuck are you talking about? What do you mean? Doing something small for Big Thursday celebration. What the hell is wrong with you? Are you kidding me? It's just Big Thursday, right? I mean, everyone else is showing up with kind of just- Put that water on the desk. Put that water on the desk. Put that water on the desk. Put that water on the desk.

Who the fuck do you think you are throwing a small celebration on our big Thursday? No, it's a big celebration. I just figured I wanted to sort of just give a little something back. Just a little something back this big Thursday. That's probably terrible for audio. You know, there's always a lot of pressure on big Thursday, and so I thought maybe this year we could just sort of do a small...

No, Big Thursday. Listen, here's the thing about Big Thursday. And Borf, he... You okay? And Borf saw it happen himself. I mean, we're at the Game Grumps office. We showed up. We said happy Big Thursday literally to every single person that we saw in this office. Borf didn't see it, but I mean, like, we had every single one of your...

- We call them big boros. - Co-workers will attest that we said happy Big Thursday to them when we were walking in. - And we followed it up with like, keep it big. They were like, I guess. - As far as I can remember today, we've been talking about Big Thursday. I don't remember when we weren't talking about Big Thursday, so I'd like to think that it's always been a thing. - It is a big thing. - Here's what I think might be happening. Everybody here just might be Jewish.

That doesn't explain anything. Well, everyone celebrates Big Thursday. Hedy...

It is a non-denominator. Everyone can be big. It's like Independence Day or something like that. Hey, Schlott, that wasn't very big of you, man. I'm sorry. I'm just trying to come up with an explanation for why they didn't. Everyone at Game Grumps is Jewish. That's what your explanation was. I'm just thinking, you know, like it's big. Like they just don't celebrate. Oh, I see what you're saying. They just don't celebrate it. So you're equating Big Thursday to Easter or Christmas? You haven't seen Big Dreidel.

- I have not seen Big Dreidel. - Well, and Big Thursday. - Spinning through the same streets. - And Big Thursday, they're selling Big Dreidels in the streets, so I mean, I'm surprised that you would even sort of go-- - Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel. - Don't.

What's going on over there? Looks like he's resisting, like throwing up or something. No, that's what he looks like when he's about to burst out laughing, but he doesn't want to. It's saying the word dreidel? What is so funny about that? Why do you have a red Solo cup, but we've got the pizza hot cups? I actually have my analogy in here. It's always on the side. Stop. That's falling on the ground. Oh, boy. Oh, no. It's okay. I made you out of clay. A big bummer on Big Thursday. And when you're dry and ready. Thank you. Thanks, Borough.

Just keep it down. Oh, we won't play anymore. Hey, uh, what's your favorite thing to do on Big Thursday? I like to go down to the big lake. And I like to put on my little- What? What? What? Hang on, hang on guys. Pause it, roll it back. You like to put on your fucking what? I like to put on my big skis. Okay. And get on my big boat. Do a big amount of- Do a big flip with a big smile on your face. Yeah, do a big flip, big smile on my face.

It's shining. The sun is, and here's the thing. The wonderful thing about Big Thursday is that the whole day on Big Thursday, the sun is shining down. And can you think of anything bigger? Do you know who you see in the woods when you're skiing around? Bigfoot. Big Bear. Big Bear. They're all out. It's their day. It's their day. And the lake I go to is Big Bear Lake.

- That is very big. - That is a legitimate lake that exists, is Big Bear Lake, which is hilarious in every way. I don't know why you're laughing. - It's definitely big. - What are you screaming about?

We should talk about how he says this. So my dynamic with both of you guys is that you will be having like a louder conversation and I will say something that I think is funny to myself quietly in a corner. And every time I've done that on this trip, Ted has turned to me, locked eyes and said, what are you screaming about? It's like, it's such an accusational way. I'm like, I don't know. It's funny.

I think the funniest thing about it's been a struggle to figure out of our dynamic is that Shalad and I are just

Stupidly aggressive individuals. And you can get Ted going even further. I can. You can rile Ted up, and then Charlie will just be, he will just act like. You got me riled up. You got me a little riled up on the turtle episode. Oh, yeah. We ended that episode. I was a wreck. You were a wreck. I was a wreck. And I was wrecked.

Because we ended that- Dude, you got pun man. If there was anything to get Mr. Pun Man over here, that was it. That was funny. That was awesome. We ended the episode, and I think Ted ended it on this note of, fuck all turtles, I will kill all turtles. Charlie's like, one of his- And I'm like, through tears, I'm like, no. I wasn't even like-

I couldn't even, I was like tunnel vision. I couldn't even hear that Charlie was saying that like one of his favorite stuffed animals growing up. Like I remember it now. I brought him, I'm pretty sure the editor cut it out as well when I brought my favorite stuffed animal. Just fully eliminating anything empathic about it. Yeah. Anything empathic about it. I don't know. Sympathetic. Yeah. So I mean, that is, you know,

- Yeah, yeah, and then I imagine when that episode goes out, they're gonna cut the part. - It's out. - I'm like in tears reaching for the camera and before I can even say no, the editor's gonna be like, oh, it was funny. - The episode is out though, it's been out. - Yeah, it came out. - Yeah, and I bet all the people in the comments too are like, let's take him out. - Well actually, somebody in the comments-- - You did? - Somebody in the comments says that my voice sounds like telling someone that their dog just died all the time. - Can you tell me my dog just died? - Hey, Charlie.

Hey. Hey, Charlie. How you doing? Maybe start off with, like, hey, bud. Hey. Hey, champ. Oh, shit. Jesus Christ. How you doing? How you doing? I'm doing okay. What's up? Is there something? Do you have any peanut butter for lunch? I had a whole lot of peanut butter. I'm actually having a really good day. Well, you're going to have a lot of extra peanut butter because you can't feed it to your dog because it's dead. I was going to give him so much peanut butter. Hey, so basically Michael Vick showed up to the door the other day. Michael Vick? Michael Vick, the founder of Vick.com.

The Vicks Corporation? The Vick chest rub? No. Who's Michael Vick? Borough, you could search up Michael Vick real quick. Or you don't have to. He's not Ian. We don't have Ian right now. Oh, Borough, yeah. Oh my god, yes. Borough's coming in? Yeah, Borough, come on in. Come on in, Borough. Borough has been producing the podcast the whole time. He's been doing a phenomenal job. Everyone, give it up for Big Borough. This is Big Borough. Yes! Hey, everybody. Before you start talking, you forgot to turn the lights on. Again, this is like the second time in a row. I mean, does it look good? I mean...

Yeah, it looks great. Yeah, we'll take care of the lights right now. How about that? How about that? He's about to do some... Well, it doesn't actually look like they're coming off. For our audio listeners, love you to death, and I realize most of Chuckle Week I haven't been saying. Oh! There we go. Let's give it up for Borough. All right. Thank you. See, now once Borough...

entered the sphere, I mean, we all sort of lit up, literally. - Yeah, big fan. - We walked into the studio the first day of Chuckle Week and I shook Boruff's hand and he goes, "Hey, I'm Chris." And I'm like, "I remember this guy from somewhere." And then one of the coworkers walks in and she calls him Boruff and I'm like,

I had like his whole life. It's like the Ratatouille moment where he flashes at the left. It was weird because it's like you're plainly more famous than me and you recognized me and I was like this is real weird. Oh yeah. This is like meeting a porn star and then they recognize you. It's strange. They recognize you from college. Not recently. Not recently?

Boraf. You slide out. That's classic Boraf. A lot of them would come in at Machinima. It was a thing. Well, yeah, I recognize Boraf from Machinima. Machinima Respawn. Which is very...

Very funnily and we have to make a little bit of the ed slot needs to admit something to the audience We've said this minute. We've said this multiple your criminal no more homage at this point Oh, okay. The only reason why he's saying homage because Bora gave him that out. He gave him that exit right there Machinima used to run a show called inbox and

with Mr. Sark and C-Nanners and Hutch and more recently, APL Fisher. But I say recently. I shouldn't because the show ended like nine years ago. Like years ago, yeah. And Boruff would often come on the show. They'd often pull him aside and just drag him into the studio and tell him to... Yeah.

It would be like an instant thing where I'd be like just eating my lunch and then they'd kind of like come over and just like, you know, like a cop. Kind of like what happened. Yeah, I was going to say like what we're doing right now. Kind of like what's happening literally right now. It's like you're minding your own business. Like, all right, come in. You're going to be on set. Okay, get ready. And they'd put a little hat on me and then be like real tense. And then they'd be like, okay, and now we're going to do a bunch of rapid fire questions. So we've got a couple of rapid fire questions.

- Favorite color, go! - Red, red I think. - Okay good, good. - Yes. - Just a test, just a test. - Yeah. - But yeah, Inbox was a question answering show. And one of the questions that they were asked one time was would you rather have unlimited bacon but no more games or games and no games?

- Unlimited games. - I think Schlatt sort of embellished the actual statement a little bit. - Well, the thing is, I would see this happen. Sark would ask that question and people would melt down. They would try to figure out, wait, what? Unlimited but no games? But bacon? And they would just freak out. - Have you ever answered it yourself?

I think I might have. Or if we have an inquiry for you. Unlimited no games. Okay. Let's get there. Unlimited bacon, but no more games. Or would you rather have games? Unlimited games, but no more games. How much bacon? Unlimited. Let's take it from the top. I'll go one more time. Take it from the top. I mean, is it ethically sourced bacon? Surely, Borah, if you'd answer this question on Big Thursday...

Yeah, yeah. Huevos con grande. Yeah, that's how we celebrate it out here. Big bacon. Did Borov just speak Spanish? I think he just said... Yeah, I think I said... Did you say eggs? Huevos. Big eggs? Huevos grandes? Yeah, huevos grandes. Huevos. Huevos. Huevos grandes, yeah. Huevos con grande. Wait, is it huevos or it's huevos? He said huevos. He said huevos. I heard him say it. Say this. That goes... Das ist gut...

- Say this. - What is this? This feels like it's from something. - You were saying something already. - Say this. - Play with him. Go with it. - Das ist gut. Das ist gut. Mein. - Mein. - Arsch. Geiger. - Here, I'll say it with you. Das ist gus. Das ist gut. Mein. Arschgeiger.

- You say that? - Say that. - I don't wanna say it. There's a trick in here. - No, come say that. - No, no, there's no one else. - It's a direct line. - Should I also say it? So it's Das ist gut. - Mein Aschgeiger. - Geiger. - What does it mean? - You just said, "That is good." - My ass violin. - I had everything up until ass. I didn't know it was after that. It's gotta be something good. - Another classic, you know. - Ich bin ein Mann.

I have something you might be excited about. So, remember that episode where I said I'm gonna steal everything? Yeah. Of course he does. Take a wild guess what I might have stolen from that set. Are you actually surprised in Schlatt? Open the bag. Whoa, what? Open the bag. Borif. Open the bag. I swear to God. Open the bag, Schlatt. Wait, this is actually really cool. This is really happening. Open the bag. What's in there? I swear to fucking God. What do you think's in there? I swear to fucking God if this is what I think it is. Yeah, yeah.

Open it up, Schlatt. Schlatt, you have to open it. I'm not touching that bag unless you touch it. Oh, my God. It is. What is it? It fucking is. I have no idea what he's talking about right now. Yeah. Yeah. Open it.

Holy shit. I knew when I was being fired, so I just went through and stole some shit. This is the biggest Thursday you've ever had. Holy shit. This is the biggest Thursday of my life. Yeah. He looks so fucking happy. This is incredible. Can you open the fucking bag? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Open it. Open it. It's him. Yeah.

*laughter* What? What is that? That's not what I expected! Oh fuck, it's it! It's him! Is that a tarantula? It is a embedded tarantula. Oh Jesus fucking Christ! Can I see it? Yeah. It's gross up close, right? Oh! Yeah. Oh my god! Wow. You took that shit! I did! Horrif! Yes! This is a real tarantula? I cannot- I honestly- that is- that has made my entire week. *laughter*

We need some context here. So what happened is this: Sark, he's like almost impervious to everything, but he is terrified of spiders. So somebody who was watching Respawn knew that, they sent it in without warning, and there's like a ten minute thing of Sark where he just couldn't handle it. Like it was just sitting on the shelf. And I remember the day we kept having to restart because he kept like, it just kept freaking him out because he'd catch it in the corner of his eye.

And it's a giant terrifying tarantula. We're gonna keep it on the whole rest of the episode. Oh my god. Wow. That looks really good right there too. It does. It's like he's pouncing at the audience. Sure.

Shlatt, you're having like a real fanboy moment right now. This is very interesting to see. You gotta get Sark on now. Like, Sark, if this thing goes somewhere, you gotta get on with these guys. They're fun. These guys have been nice all week long. Did you say if this thing goes somewhere? No, I meant, you know what I mean. Yeah, if we ever get this shit off the ground. Shlatt was saying no views because I'm on. Well, now it's definitely going. Shlatt was just saying that if Borif is on, we're not putting Borif in the title.

No, I know I get it You're pulling with me right now. I don't like the spider when it's facing us It's pretty big so for our audio listeners love you to death I suppose I need to explain this Borff has brought in a

a tarantula encased in a resin that has significance to Schlatt in his childhood memories and his inspiration for wanting to be a content creator in the first place. So that's, that's the significance of, of what's going on here for our listeners right now. You're going to have to do it. I, I used to, here's what I used to do. I, I, I had a job at a deli when,

Like the New York kid, of course he had a fucking job at a deli. I had a job at a deli and I used to sit in the freezer room behind all the drinks where it was just a pile of more drinks and stock each individual drink. Right. And I was there for hours at a time. You guys got really cold. Hours at a time, yeah. And I would just be shivering in there with like a winter coat on. And I'd be paid $5 an hour.

and so it doesn't seem legal no no and so what i did to pass the time as i was stocking shelves was i downloaded every single episode of machinima inbox respawn and i would just listen to them over and over again like audio yeah the audio but i also if i unlocked my phone i could see the video right of course it was mostly that it was mostly just the audio wow um and i i know most lines from the show

- Really? - Yeah. - You just have them all memorized pretty much. - Yeah. - I mean, if you have them downloaded, that's probably the only place some of those exist now. - I know, because Machinima was just sold off to like Warner Brothers or something, right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Was it Warner Brothers?

I can't remember. It was super weird. No, it wasn't Maker. I think they had an offer at one point for like $100 million for something. Jesus Christ. And they were like, no, no, more. And they kept going for more, and it just all fell through. And one of them went to jail, and there's a whole bunch of stuff that happened. They went to jail because they just wanted so much money. No, no. Well, before the podcast, I mentioned to these guys briefly. There's this dude named Steven Siemprevo who was involved in the- Is he Italian? I don't know. Maybe? Maybe.

Sounds like a time. But college admission scandals. Oh, right. Yeah, we talked about this a little bit. One of the guys who ran Machinima went to jail for fucking the college admission scandal. What a weird cross of worlds. Yeah.

Yeah, they actually had an actor who showed up and played him in the movie. So it was very strange. The 30 or 40 people, most of them, small fry enough, nothing happened. He was the one guy who got an actor that they took time to find a guy who was just like him. That's wild. It was crazy. Oh my God. But once Machinima got sold off, they deleted everything. Oh yeah, it sucked. Why? Why?

It's just the rights. I had access to all that stuff, and while I was there, outside of the Respawn stuff, I was actually backing up everything, so I had this huge archive of everything. Did you still have them? Nah. The problem is it was in this giant thing behind my desk, and when they let me go, nobody else picked it up.

so it was all gone so i have copies of stuff i was in but a lot of stuff's just gone wow yeah my mouth is getting dry with with the spider on the desk

Your mouth is getting dry? It's not that scary. It's actually, there's a reason- No, it's not that it's making me uncomfortable, it's just that it's that- It's shriveled up. It's the fucking spider. It's shriveled up, it's the spider. It's not just like a spider or a recreation of like, this is literal part of Schlatt's childhood media.

Yeah, that was the day. It was like I knew I was getting fired because it's like we'd gone through like three or four rounds of layoffs. And I went to that back office and Sark and APL had already kind of like gone off to do their own thing. Have you been like just testing him throughout the week? Because you guys chat every now and then about like the respawn stuff. Have you just been testing to see how big of a fan he was?

Didn't know well the first thing you guys said I thought of that thing and I was like I don't know is it weird to bring it in it's gonna be kind of weird that was really cool okay that was that was that was the paper bag too you laid it down yeah I was like oh fuck well actually I have it in the paper bag because my wife hates spiders so she kept finding it and I kept hearing the scream and I was like oh she found the spider again that's hilarious

What the hell? Yeah. What up, Chucklers? It's Ted here talking about today's sponsor for the episode, Babbel. When you're traveling to a destination that you don't know the language, it can be challenging to accomplish even the simplest of tasks. I know firsthand one time I went to Spain and France and I didn't know a lick of either language except for hola.

From greetings, menus, and directions to getting a deeper understanding of the culture, Babbel is a travel essential. Babbel's 15-minute lessons make it a perfect

tool to learn a new language on the go. Other language apps use that stinky artificial intelligence for their language lessons, but Babbel lessons were created by over a hundred language experts. With Babbel you can choose from 14 different languages,

including Spanish, French, Italian, and German. Plus, Babbel's speech recognition technology allows you to improve your pronunciation and accent.

- Jekyll. Thanks for listening, folks, and now let's get back to the episode. - So you just stole it out of the office? - Oh yeah, I went back. - What else did you steal? - Oh, um. - Oh. - No fucking way, he's got more shit. - Actually, here's one you can take.

That's the mic. Yeah, it's the mic. That's when Hutch was going fuck Boroff. That's the one he was using. No shot. You want to hear something funny, Schlatt? What? I actually have from a past PAX Machinima fingerless gloves. Really? Yeah. What PAX?

What you what which packs like I've been to when I was right the packs that the packs where you guys had the like the Thing with the hang hanging overhead like the big machinima thing. Oh, okay. Yeah, he's around it. Oh, yeah, okay Yeah, I was probably at that packs really we were at the same packs. Maybe yeah, what were you in like a feast taxis? It was a tune must I don't know what 2012

Like maybe 2013 I think okay was that the one in Boston yeah, I mean yeah, all Pax East are in Boston Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I probably was there. That's crazy running around with I somewhere somewhere in my in my childhood home I saw him when I was there last I saw the the machinima fingerless gloves I gotta find them because they're hilarious. It's like they were just handing out these fingerless gloves to people and I

- A lot of the stuff in Machinima didn't make a ton of sense in hindsight. - Well, it's just, it was just, it was so funny 'cause it was like the most, even when I, in like 2013, I was like, this is ridiculous. It's like, Finger Lines Clubs is like gamer high speed, like this is the best thing ever.

So, yeah, no, I mean they did all sorts of stuff. It was crazy because it was like they were competing with twitch So it was like four years. They had like bigger cinema was competing with twitch. Oh, yeah back in the day They thought they were gonna like take twitch down. They thought they have their website. Yeah machinima.com They uh started out as like a forum like a gaming forum that got bought out by the devil was turned into a massive company and Yeah

Yeah. Wow. I know you guys are comedy podcasts. If you have any questions about business, about how Machinima worked, I'm fine talking about it. I mean, it's just so interesting. I mean, Machinima, it's one of those things where...

- For our audience, it's gonna be like, it's definitely, I don't really care though. - I don't know who's gonna know. - I don't really care. - Yeah. - I don't really care though. This is interesting for all of us. - It's very, very cool. 'Cause like for the three of us, like-- - This is what we grew up on. - It's one of those things where it's like with YouTube, there's like these, it's like generations with human beings, except it comes in shorter waves. It's like 10 year sort of waves. - Yeah. - So like Machinima came before us, like maybe,

generation before us but we were the ones who consumed that content at the time so it's it's for us it's very very cool but then there's probably people who are watching that in fucking ten years before 2040 the collapse of America society in general

Like it's dude like it's my thing that I'm cause I mean this is this is something like when Charlie causes the soul That's a bit of a sidebar. Yeah, Charlie was like, you know, yeah total human collapse is coming MIT says human total human collapse will come in 2040 is what he said on our way to breakfast. Yeah, they were like happy big Thursday. We're on our way to breakfast by the way. Our first meal of the day. Yeah, you gotta start off your day with like a major apocalypse prediction. It's the most

That's what I'm saying. Slash prediction, inevitability, guys. We talked about a lot, too. We talked about how Bangladesh is going to be underwater, same with Florida. 11% of the land is going to be underwater by 2050 is the thing that I saw. Well, I don't really care about Florida. I thought you were about to say Bangladesh. Yeah. For some reason, that sounds worse. I would have been a borough farmer. I think it's okay to not care about Florida. Yeah, I don't know. Florida could go. So-

It could. Oh, this is for a show. That's a mic! It's a mic shield, yeah, mic stand. It's like when you see the gamer reporters and they've always used it. Oh yeah, we're using these now and we have all the lavaliers, but back in the day it was all like, just had to hold your little microphone and do that. It's all flashing me back, it's so cool. What were some of the more questionable decisions Machinima made throughout your tenure there? Oh man, we had a livestream where they brought in Fire Girls.

Firegirls? What is a firegirl? They're women who are, their job is, it's a performance art. Yeah, yeah. And it's, they, they. We're all going to be firegirls in 2015. Eat fire. They. Oh, yeah. They spin fire. Yeah, it's all this acrobatic stuff. The world is burning. But the place we actually were doing live streams was this little, like, kind of rat trap room. And it had a lot of, like, exposed dry wood at the ceiling. Oh.

so these ladies came in and they're like blowing like fireballs and the ceiling is like singeing i'm seeing like the cobwebs that are up there just like creeping back this is so funny too because i could just imagine boraf being just that like sort of silent observer that sees all of these things happen and seeing all the problems with them but doing and saying nothing and just enjoying the ride you picture yourself smash cutting like back of a police van with a truck

trauma blanket on. Well, it was just funny because I'm seeing this happen and I'm like, oh yeah, these producers are going to have a problem. And somebody down the hallway saw what was happening on the live stream and I just start hearing these like...

Like running down the hallway to stop the fire girls from shooting anything and the rest of it was like them just whipping like rings around and doing that. That's ridiculous. So for context for people who are watching, what was your like role at Machinima and I mean what's your general role right here at Game Girls? Oh, well I was a production coordinator here. There I was post-production supervisor is what happened. So I essentially was...

put into that position. I was handing out gear and all that stuff. I was camera guy for Respawn for a long time. It was, you know, a young YouTube company, so I did everything. Yeah. But yeah, towards the end, I was actually the guy putting the watermark on every video.

Oh, really? I had automated my job. They didn't know for a year. That was all you did? That was all I did for a year. Wait, how did you automate your job? It was like you just drag the files into a thing and let it go and nobody else at the company, like I kept telling them, I was like, "Guys, I've automated my job. I can do anything else." And they kept going, "Yeah, but you're so good at it."

So they didn't understand what you were saying when you said you literally had automated the little like machinima thing that's You're doing it with robotic consistency was me and I kept telling like you guys know what's the same file you yeah? But you're the swooper. Yeah, it was a super ball My guys can just put in like the lower third like little bug on it like in YouTube because they supported that and they're like yeah But people can download it and they can re-upload it and we really don't want people like re-uploading machinima is like

important that's your property you did put the the watermark in the bottom right the little m yeah yeah tell us about the tell us about the annotations on every single machinima video why was there one that said eat this oh god oh god every single machinima video was was

polluted with annotations. There are probably people watching this that don't know what YouTube annotations are. I was kind of bummed when they got rid of them because it was what I used for my end screens. They're like little sticky notes that you put on top of the video elements. So now it's like end screens. You used to put like a little box. The end screens now look

- So much nicer than the annotations that YouTube used to have. - They were like a sticky notes app. - Yeah, they used to be like little red or blue matte boxes. - And it could only be boxes, right? - You could only be boxes and you could only use one type of text too. So it was like a big box and then in the upper left it was like,

Follow LinkinBio for download, like if you're looking for tutorial or something like that. Yeah, of course. And all the old viral videos that used to go viral, they'd put them everywhere. I remember I was like a kid, I tried to show my friends Honey Badger and it kept popping, like all the Honey Badger merch. How old were you when Honey Badger came out? Me? Oh man, I wasn't a virgin. Um...

What a strange way to determine a understanding of time. As if Honey Badger was the thing. That was the moment I lost my innocence to Honey Badger. I just remembered it on the computer in the background as the lovemaking was happening. Yeah, yeah.

Badger, badger, badger, badger, mushroom, mushroom. Honey badger is like the honey badger. That was, that was, that was, he had it on for the sake of rhythm. Snake. Oh, Jesus. Snake? Snake? You just say? Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, that's hilarious. This is awesome. This is a great podcast. So why did they have so many annotations on them? Oh, my God. They had a marketing team there that was like 30 or 40 people. 30 or 40 people? That's way too many people. Oh, my God. They had so much money. They were buried in capital funds. And it was like, what is it? Capital investment. So the deal is, it's like all these guys who are business dudes. You guys actually do YouTube. You're into gaming and all that. And you kind of get it.

The people who bought Machinima, they bought Machinima the name from like a forum where everybody was really into game stuff. And then they didn't really know what to do with it because these guys were like ESPN type dudes. Oh, okay. So this is like a company that basically just buys up things and hope that eventually they'll be able to turn a profit. They just keep buying up companies. I know something very similar to that that happened recently.

But I won't say. So, but to answer that, what happened was is that they were all trying to figure out how to like beat the algorithm at the time because they wanted it to go to like a billion views and they wanted to be able to sell. So they hired this giant team and their whole deal was just running spreadsheets to figure out what the trends would be. Their videos look like a spreadsheet after that. Yeah. So that's why it was. Like they'd have that, like Bite Me was like a big series. Oh, fucking Bite, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Let's eat this.

Whenever you click on eat this, redirect it to bite me. Yeah. What's bite me? It's when you eat this. When you eat this. Yeah. It was like this TV series they tried to do because they were trying to do YouTube Red before YouTube Red was a thing. Yeah, they had Machinima Prime. Yeah. So they'd throw tons of money at these things and then they'd come out, people would watch them, and then it would go on. But it didn't really go anywhere and that was the problem. Right. I think that there are certain shows that I see that

It seems like a lot of these things have sort of become what they're supposed to be these days. Have you ever seen on TikTok? I've never watched it on YouTube, but the Um Actually show. Have you seen that? No. Have you seen what I'm talking about? Is that like a radio show? I feel like I've heard that on the radio. No, it's...

- It's the, oh my god, who's the D&D guy that we were talking about? - Dan Harmon? - No. - Spencer Crittenden? - No, Brandon. - Brandon Lee Mulligan? - Yeah, Brandon Lee Mulligan is on it. He's on the I'm Actually show. - Oh he is? - Yeah. - Oh, is it like College Humor? - I think it's part of College Humor or something like that. They seem to be doing that very well. - College Humor just started doing a lot of shorts channels, I've noticed.

Yeah. But I don't know. They do put on game shows now. It is. College humor. Yeah. I think that's for, they have a paid thing now too. Yeah, they have a dropout. It's doing really well for them. Yeah. Is that not a YouTube thing? No, dropouts where like they put, uh,

Like you can, all of Dimension 20 is like on Dropout. They paywall stuff like full series and things. And it's pretty high quality content. On YouTube you can paywall stuff? No, no, it's a separate thing. Oh, okay. Do you guys do Critical Role at all? Familiar with it? I'm a fan of

- Well, I've watched a little. - Chris Lockie is working on that, I think as their set photographer, but he started at Machinima. - I fucking know that guy. He's the bald guy who wore glasses. - Oh, this is cool. - Chris Lockie is rad. He's one of the nicest guys.

He was always super. It was on Inbox, too. I know. It just makes me so happy to just kind of like see Schlatt just like he's lighting up. Well, yeah. No, I mean, Schlatt's. This is a once in a lifetime. This is fucking big Thursday, man. This is big Thursday. Trust me when I say when Schlatt landed off his plane, it was like a fucking cloud was falling on him the whole time. He was just like, oh, I can't believe I had to fly. Actually, I think I already said this on the podcast.

When Charlie and I showed up, Charlie hasn't seen Shlat in like a year and a half. And the first thing he says is like, my flight sucked. And he had a cut on his face. I was like, how'd you get a cut? Huge cut across my whole nose. It was still literally the same size as it is now. From my forehead all the way down. Full scar through the eye. The moment that the

The bore of, and Schlatt made the connection, the whole week changed around. Yeah. And Schlatt started, you know, prancing around, he's dancing. I was doing my funny dance. He's doing his funny dance. This whole week's been super exciting. It's been so much fun having you guys here, and it's like, no joke, you're the second person I've ever run into who has recognized me. Well, I recognize you every day we come in. I know. But it tickles the hell out of me. Literally nobody else has done that. Don't say it tickles the hell out of me, please.

I enjoy it. Come on. If you don't say it's nice. It'll only get you so far. Think about the context here. I mean, he did nine years ago. He's got him buzzing like a mink whale, you know?

Yeah, well some of those videos helped my wife fall in love with me. Really? Yeah, because we were dating when those happened. So what would happen is I... She would watch them? Is your wife a Borfer? She's a bit of a Borfer. She was once we got together. That sounds like more inappropriate than it should for some reason. It does. And now his wife is just a Boraf. Actually, she's a hill. She kept her last name? Yeah, because no one wants to be Boraf. No one wants Boraf. Yeah, yeah. That's fair. I get that. It's still a strong last name. That's a hill to die on. Yeah.

I think I but I definitely could see how if if if like hill could definitely be that's a it's not a trickiness on phone calls because people can never spell the last name and I also can't spell my first name because it's got a K in it so on paper I always get mistaken for a lady until I show up and then people like oh oh my god yeah like oh you're not a Christina okay Chris Boroff Chris Boroff

Crisp-borif. Crisp-borif? Crisp-borif. Rice crispy. Rice borif. This is some weird weird association we're gonna have. Creamy borf. Cream of spinach. Cream of borf. Cream of borif. Creme-creme-borf-lay. Creme-borf-lay!

- I've never been more upset by my own name. - So okay, so you did Machinima. It fell apart, people were rioting in the office, there was things on fire, it was kind of like SpongeBob's brain in that one episode.

- What else besides those things did you end up stealing? - Oh, a couple monitors. - A couple monitors? You stole so many monitors? - I mean, they're cheap in ones now. - I guess there's no company-- - I just picture you running out with a box, the company go up and go up in flames behind you. - I mean, it was a really disorganized company. So a lot of that stuff was sitting around getting busted in boxes. - What was the day like when you got, like when? - Oh. - How many people got fired that day that you got fired? - Oh man, I mean, I was in the third or fourth wave. - Wow, that's crazy that-- - They cared about the watermark. - Yeah. - They cared about the watermark a lot.

But yeah, I mean, it was probably like, I don't know, like 16, 17 people. We were all sitting in there and I knew it was going to happen. So I already had like Bioshock Infinite waiting to go at home. And I was like, I know what you guys are doing for the rest of the day, but I know what I'm doing. So this was when that game came out? Yeah.

I remember that game. That game was, I really liked that Bioshock. I subscribed to Game Informer around that time. I got the little things in the mail. I was so excited. I didn't know the internet existed. I do have a couple Game Informers as well. I don't know. Things about Game Informer, they're very fun to read. This is making me very happy to talk about all this.

stuff yeah yeah i loved getting those and reading through it and like that was the only way i knew right what was happening yeah for me it was pc gamer i was like a big pc gamer fan we actually had like rob smith who was like one of the editors for pc gamer at machinima for a while are you a pc guy yeah a little bit i mean i'll play anything but yeah pc mostly when did you get your first gaming pc how old were you and what year was it

I was five, and it was a Commodore 64. A Commodore, wow. And it would have been 85. If any context of Commodore comes up, you know it's an old computer. You know that that shit's like... Yeah, Dungeon Crawlers, I think, that was the big one. Was it like a text-based game? No, it was a rip-off of Gauntlet. It's like the top-down, fourth-player. I know what you're talking about. But it was like a one-player because I was like,

a five year old playing it. But I played the Alien game a lot, even though I couldn't read. It's a strategy game. - It was Alien in a lot of ways. - I loved the movie Alien, but I didn't know how to read any of the stuff. - When do children normally learn how to read? - I think right around then. I was a little slow.

Why are you offering this up on Big Thursday of all days? I mean, it's big of me to offer up my frailties. That is true. And you're a strong man, Boroff. And this week has been awesome. I mean, Boroff has been dealing with a three-camera setup. He dealt with Charlie's...

insanity when he decided he wanted to set up the D&D. You were great on that. I'm sure that Charlie was running around and maybe even frothing at the mouth, if I dare say. We're going to have to clean up that fogger later, though, because what happened is they took it back in the truck and I forgot to tell them, like, keep that sucker upright, so they put it sideways. Is that not good? Well, I mean, there's a lot of fogger juice all over the inside now, so we're going to

Clean that up and hopefully they never find out about it. But we'll see about it. You say into the camera. Oh man, it's alright. Damn. So now you're with Game Grumps. Oh yeah. What do you do here? More than watermarks. Yeah, way more than watermarks. Came here from Harmontown.

Basically, they hired me on to be the production coordinator, so I'm keeping their schedule going. I was keeping everybody going through COVID and all that. And now I'm kind of directing stuff here. So it's like I'm helping set up cameras and stuff like that. So it might keep going this way or we might hire someone else to do some directing. We'll see what goes on. Well, we think you're doing a great job. Thanks, fellas. Well, I think you guys are doing a great job. Oh, well, thanks. Whatever. Or I've said we're doing a great job.

Yeah, I mean, this has been a very, very cool week thus far. I mean, we're essentially preparing for the final stretch of the week because it is Big Thursday, of course. So we've got two other guests today, and then we've got three on Friday, and then we've got maybe three on Sunday. That's a lot. Does Sark know where this went?

I've told him a couple times and the only response he's had is like that thing is cursed I I do have his number though, so every once in a while. I'll just text him a photo Remember this guy yeah

Might text him a photo today with you holding it just to make sure he's aware. Because he's got to get his butt in here. He's got to be on this show. I agree. I definitely agree with that. I'd like to get Sark. That would be my second favorite episode. As opposed to this one? Yeah.

Mean I don't know how Sark could ever top what what Boroff came in and did with that. That's like that's big I mean Sark himself is bigger than the spider. That's the thing like he also is way Guy way taller on camera like way taller in person than he is on camera like oh my god He is like six foot like

- This is fucking ridiculous. Why is everyone-- - Six foot five eight. - I mean, I don't remember the exact size, I just remember every time I talked to Sark-- - If he's six eight, that's insane. That's a crazy-- - I mean, I'm six foot, and whenever I talked to Sark, I felt like I was talking to my dad 'cause I had to look up like this. Also, he put out that vibe. He put that vibe out all the time. - Dad vibes? He was almost 50. - Everybody who does this job is very tall.

Except me. So there is dad vibes there. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, it's an LA thing. Everybody out here is just tall. It's weird. It's because we eat our Wheaties on Big Thursday. We have the... So, I mean, okay. Yeah, that actually brings up a good point. Boraf, what are your Big Thursday resolutions?

That's a good question. Well, how my people usually celebrate Big Thursday. My people? Hey, hey, my people. He's German. Yeah, I'm German. And in the German tradition, we go and we get a nacho bel grande because it's big. Big.

And you get the biggest Baja Blast possible because you also want to hate yourself a little bit. Because it's not just to get the biggest thing, it's to make the biggest mistake on the same day. That's a very good point. It's for big mistakes. Big Thursday is for big mistakes. Exactly. It's like Lent and Easter in the same day. In fact, there was already a big mistake this morning. I mean, Schlatt almost got into a big accident. I almost got into a big accident as I was pulling my Tesla rental.

Out of our driveway, there was someone else who was also just backing up. We almost got into a big accident. Yeah, we honked at him, and he didn't stop. He didn't stop when you honked at him? No, he kept going. Well, he was in a big truck. He was in a big truck. He couldn't see us. Are you guys all driving Teslas right now? No, he rented a Tesla. I drive a 2002 Toyota Tacoma. I want to ask you a thing about the Tesla really bad. Does it still have the insane button in it?

The what? The insane button? What's the insane button? I don't think there's an insane button. There was a button you could press that would just make the thing go from like 0 to 60 in 10 seconds and a friend of mine hit it. That's very slow. 0 to 60 in 10 seconds. In like one second. Yeah, but it was very fast. It was like- You mean the gas pedal? It was enough that I felt- The gas pedal, I think. Yeah. I think that's what you're talking about. Yeah, but it's like a button-y hit. Look out, I'm gonna hit the insane button. I think that might have been in the Model S's. You can't find any of those on Turo. So I usually rent the SUV or the Model 3.

Okay. But it's still quick. I would try the SUV next time if you really want to give it another chance. The allure is fading on me because I'd come out here and I'd rent a Tesla and it'd be this fun thing because I like driving the Teslas. I don't like being in them.

The interface is just too clean. - It's a little upsetting. - It's too minimal. - It's got that giant, weird tablet in the middle, right? - Yeah. - You gotta look at it. - That's pretty much your only interface. - Yeah, that's the reason why I was thinking that Shlap might like the Model S because what's nice about the Model S is that it has-- - It's got a little screen behind the wheel. - It's got a screen behind the wheel, which I don't understand why Tesla doesn't think that people are gonna want a screen behind the wheel 'cause it's literally the same thing as looking at your phone.

if you're doing that back and forth thing. It doesn't make any sense. And I think that Elon maybe doesn't understand the point of Big Thursday. - Well Elon doesn't drive. He gets someone else to drive for him. - Are you sure? - I guarantee it. - I think they should just go classic with it. It's like back in the day, like when I was about your age, I think the big thing was that you'd drive around with those cars that would have the TV in the back and you'd just play porn on it on the highway.

Just drive down the highway with porn playing? I was actually with you up until a certain point. Oh, I mean, you guys don't do that where you drive down the highway with porn playing? Well, it does have Twitch. The Tesla does have Twitch on it, so you could just go to just chatting now. Oh, yeah. You could do hot tub streamers. Go to hot tub zone. Yeah. Hot tubs. Play porn.

I have no idea what the age group for this podcast is. It's okay. I don't think any of us really do either. The age group? This is taking it all over the place. We've gone on a wild ride here today. I don't know. I don't think that we've ever really cared about our age group in terms of how we speak. Why don't you tell them that, huh? I don't think that we really care about our age group in terms of how we speak. We just speak what we think is funny. And you will accept it.

Audience that's a that's a real respawn vibe actually you guys remind me of that quite a bit really yeah Wow mm-hmm Boraf I thought you said I thought you were going to say for big Thursday that you're going to go into the redwoods and Light one of them on fire You know that those do you know that the redwoods? I'm sure you're making a respawn reference, but you know the redwoods are so like I

evolutionarily have don't tell me they don't light on fire no they have resistance against fire they said like if california i'll fix that there's a reason why those things are like thousands of years old is that they've lived for that long is because they have a resistance look that up yeah invent something that changes you're going to invent something to kill the redwoods the most beautiful trees in the northern american

I'm gonna invent something. Can you just use dynamite? I mean, they're made out of wood like every other tree. Blow those suckers up. I mean, you can also just cut it down. You don't need dynamite. You convinced me, Schlatt. That's it. From now on, fuck the redwoods. Cut down every redwood. Fuck the redwoods. Everybody should have redwoods. Wasn't there a huge fire of redwoods recently? Yeah, there was. Good.

That's what I like to hear. California's ancient redwoods face new challenge from wild. You know what? Redwoods are stupid. You know why? You know why they're stupid? They have tiny, tiny root systems. You can knock those suckers over if you hit them hard enough with a car. Really? Yeah.

I think they have a root system that's like pretty flat. Yeah, I'm going to show this fucking tree. You're making it. I know. But the way he's talking about it, the way he's talking about you can knock those suckers over hard enough, you hit them with a car, it sounds like he's tried it and he's done it. Objectively an insane thing to say. Yeah. Well, you can do that at Joshua Tree, too. Yeah. Yeah, Joshua Tree, the trees at Joshua Tree. Have you heard of it? Very weak roots. They're super old, though. You can just put a hammock on them.

They're like 2,000 years old, each of those. But have you heard about that couple that's like they're in hot water because they moved somewhere in Joshua Tree and they pulled out like five Joshua Trees and then they started building their house? Out of Joshua? That one will get you in trouble. Right out of Joshua's nipples. Joshua House. Yeah, they tore him right out of Joshua's asshole.

Jeez. I think they got in trouble for the same thing on The Hills Have Eyes. Because I think they burned the dad in that movie on a Joshua tree, but it's a real Joshua tree. They set on fire with a dummy on it. Oh, shit. Oh, like the production of Hills Have Eyes. They literally didn't even... Wow, they didn't even take the time to fake? Nope. That sucks. See, Joshua... There's some of them out in California. Wait, why does that one suck more than the five people who removed... Or the lady who removed five of them? Well, because...

- Like production could have literally just created a prop, so it's like that's just absolute negligence on a large budget scale, whereas like then at the same time you've also got like a couple of the things they can just get away with. It's different kinds of stupid. - He's a film guy. - No, I get you. I mean I think it's time that we cancel Wes Craven. It's important. - Yeah, I agree. - Who's, is that the director? - Yeah. Wait, you don't know Wes Craven? - I don't know. - You don't know Wes Craven? - Nightmare on Elm Street? - Nightmare on Elm Street. - Oh.

Yes. Oh my god, you're killing me! Sorry! Sorry, I don't know horror movies as much as- No, it's okay, I just suddenly felt so old, I was like, "Oh my god, have I hit that point where I say a big name director and everyone's like, 'I don't know who this Spielberg guy is, I don't get it.'" I should know more directors than I do, honestly. I don't know too many, and I went to fuckin' film school, so it's kinda bad. You don't really need to. The auteur theory's bullshit. The auteur theory? Yeah, it's all nonsense. Well, I mean, I don't think it's too much bullshit after you gave me that reaction. You just held your chest.

And I just got put in a strange social situation, so if there's any motivation to learn all the directors, it's that. Yeah. Yeah. Well... Yeah, we gauge everything we do here off of Boroff's reaction behind the camera. We actually literally do. I look at Boroff often. I mean, you guys are killing it. I was just speaking for myself, but I had assumed that you were also, I realized when I started doing this. Well, yeah, I'm glad you said we, because, I mean, you hit the nail on the Ted. I thought you were going to say nail on the tit.

On the head, but you're yeah, no I agree with you. I do look to Boraf usually he gives like a yeah He gives you the Boraf. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll say I could be you guys anything by the way, but and yet It's still comforting if the day I see you nod your head. No, I will be Incredibly concerned. I will leave the show. That's the same thing. I did a respawn I would just be like uh-huh yeah, go for it like when I started yelling at me. Yeah, go for it Yeah, yeah that fuck Boraf thing. Yeah great keep doing that

The way you say that, it sounds like you weren't happy with it. Oh no, I was totally jazzed because I was like, all right, we got a bit. Nobody says jazzed when they're actually jazzed. Mark was buzzing. Yeah, I was buzzing like a mink whale. Yeah, there we go. Buzzing like a mink whale. Can somebody explain that for me? Can we get a mink whale on the show next? There was no... I think it might have been part of a conversation where someone asked me about Jennifer Lawrence.

And I described Jennifer Lawrence as looking like an alabaster doll or something. Every fucking episode we have spilled something on whoever is sitting there, man.

Well, Borah, if we got something for you, before the end of the podcast, we'd like you to drink something. Surely, you'll just take a sip of the thick water. Just a little bit. It's water. It's important we know what's going on behind the camera, and it's important you know what's happening on the camera. So here's a little thick water. You are supposed to refrigerate it. What is this guy doing? It's thick. It's just we shake it up. That's why it looks so... Is it gelatin? It's xanthan gum. Xanthan gum. Wait, you guys backwashed into this. I remember that now.

Well hang on. No we didn't. No we didn't. Fuck. No we didn't. No we didn't Borif. No we didn't. Borif what are you talking about? For the bit. If I get AIDS you guys are dead to me. I don't think that's how. I feel like it's highly unlikely you'll get AIDS. I don't have AIDS.

it's not bad take another sip no all right well thank you so much for coming on man thank you so much for coming on best episode thank you so much for awesome running the whole podcast this week if you guys want to know how this was this was possible wouldn't have been possible without mr barf right here well hey love you guys thanks for being on this is awesome listen we're going to give you the same treatment as everyone else opening up the floor

Got anything you want to say? Got anything you want to plug? Go for it, boy. Okay. Well, after COVID started, I started a podcast. And you're going to figure this out about LA. Every middle-aged dude you meet has a podcast. Yeah. Wow. And you're going to listen to them all.

Yeah, I do think I'll movie try out with my friends, buddies from college. We usually just argue about movies and it's three of us pick out a theme and then go through the theme, try to pick out the movies and then whoever picks the best one according to what our arguments were.

Gets to pick the next one. That's awesome. And what's it called? Movie Trap? Movie Trap, yeah. Movie Trap. And this is the most notice it's probably ever gotten. Well, if you want to hear more of Borough. You're the bag the sandwich goes in. Check out his podcast, Movie Trap. Borough, what part of the sandwich are you? Yeah, what part of the sandwich?
