Camping out for Star Wars

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

All right.

This is episode 81.

Last time we were at BlackRock Coffee, we thought we saw Gracie.

We didn't.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

We talked about Ugly Dogs and Blue Bonnets, talked about Galaxy Cafe, talked about conventions,

talked about the troll and tech changes in general.

But that was the last time.

This is 81, the last episode in our little eight-episode run.

So we can see Star Wars Episode 1, The Phantom Menace, on Friday, May 3rd at the Regal Metropolitan at 11.45 a.m.

There's reserved seating.

You want to see, you want to get a couple tickets?

Yeah.

One for each of us?

Is that three?

That's three.

Okay, I'm looking here on

a ticket sale website.

Let's see.

I hope it's not totally sold.

Ooh, there is one person has bought a ticket.

It's a man, I don't know.

We might have sit up front first row.

I feel like demand was higher last time.

It might have been.

You can only select up to 20 seats, so I'm going to get 20 and you get 20.

And we'll be okay.

And we should have room for all of our friends that we no longer have

yeah g7 and i oh it's only 12 bucks a person it's less than i expected what a steal maybe because it's the middle of the day it's like noon on a friday um so

good morning gus hey

i i mentioned a few weeks ago that the phantom menace is coming back to theaters for its 25th anniversary and 25 years ago You and I camped outside behind a theater for a couple days.

I think like two nights?

Yeah, two days?

Two days.

To get tickets when they went on sale because back then you couldn't buy movie tickets online.

And we camped out.

And the reason I was looking at the Regal Metropolitan on my phone to buy tickets was we camped out behind the Regal Metropolitan for those two days in order to buy tickets.

And today we are sitting out in front of the Regal Metropolitan.

I wanted to do an episode.

I wanted to do this episode back there where we camped behind the theater, but there's like a couple of sketchy looking cars back there.

Yeah, some people are, there's some other people camping back there still.

I don't think they've been camping there since we did.

Yeah, I don't think we're permanent.

I don't think they're waiting for tickets because you can buy those on the internet now.

Yeah.

So we decided to come to the front of the theater, and we're sitting out in the front of the theater

in the morning before they open.

I think the first showing today is at noon, so the employees might be showing up soon.

When we saw,

and I think we've told that story, like Bernie would come bring us food, and we brought our PlayStation and TV and Frank.

Yeah.

And we camped out and we had them run electricity for us from the theater and they were so kind to do it and we got all the free movies and all all that.

But when we went and saw, like, do you remember?

Actually, do you remember the moment we bought the tickets?

Yeah.

Do you remember we carried our cooler with us through the line and then we opened up and we had a beer in front of the dude while he sold us the tickets?

Yeah.

And he was like, He was right over there.

He was like, whatever, weirdos.

At what point in the Phantom Menace did you realize we had wasted our time?

I was really sleepy.

I remember last time because we hadn't gotten

a pod racing scene.

Yeah,

I think it might have been during the the talk of the trade embargo in the opening crawl.

This is a choice.

I think I was with it until they swam underwater to the Gungan house or the Gungan headquarters.

And I was just like, why does it look like that?

Yeah.

The opening, like when they're attacked on the Trade Federation ship and they got to melt the door, I was like, oh, that's pretty cool.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, then they get down to Naboo and they're swimming underwater.

There's always a bigger fish.

Yeah, there's always a bigger fish.

And then

the pod racing scene was when I was like, okay, this is a lot.

This was a mistake.

This is not what I thought it was.

It's not going to recover.

I'll just take a little nap.

I mean, I slept for a little bit.

Yeah.

But we can experience it all again next month

at the same theater if we want to, for only $12.

Maybe with 25 years more experience under our belts, we'll be able to appreciate it on a different level now.

Maybe.

So I want to say back then, when we camped out and bought those those tickets, I want to say they were eight bucks.

Yeah.

That's another one that stands out in my head.

That's why I was shocked that it's only $12 now because I felt like it probably should have gone it more.

I'm also used to going to the draft house and I think tickets are more expensive there.

Yeah.

That plus once you buy food and everything.

There was a time when I thought this was the nicest movie theater in Austin.

Right when they opened up.

So

this theater, I want to say opened in either 97 or 98.

It opened after I moved here.

Okay.

We were excited for it to open.

It was probably brand new.

It might have just opened when we saw the fan message.

It probably opened early 99.

This was, you know, when we told the stories about going or waiting for tickets to see free movies and do all of that shit, like in the Chronicle, this was the theater we came to probably 80% of the time for those.

Yeah, I think we talked about how we saw Man on the Moon with Jim Carrey.

That was here.

This is where we saw the South Park movie.

This is where we saw Blair Witch Project.

I think we saw Bruce Almighty here, too.

Saw Bruce Almighty here.

All those were free tickets.

Oh, no, we saw Blur Witch Project at

Doby.

Doby.

Yeah, you're right about that.

That was way creepier there.

Yeah.

I think I saw it again here.

Yeah, this theater has been here 25 years more or less.

And man,

I can't remember the last movie I saw here.

It might have been Bruce Almighty.

I came back to see a movie here once when Millie was a kid.

Because it just was playing here.

It would have been like Bolt or something like that.

Maybe.

So it would have been that long ago.

Maybe

13 years ago.

Okay.

It was weird to me because they opened up this theater and right across 35, like this theater's right off 35 on the west side.

Just east of 35 on the other side, there was a giant Tinseltown theater that opened.

I think that Tinsel Town opened maybe a year before this one.

So it was like two brand new.

Yeah.

They're like competing for the money.

Giant movie theaters, yeah.

And that tinsel town's gone.

I think that building's been bulldozed.

Like, that's just not here anymore.

But the Metropolitan

is still here.

I thought it was so fancy because at the top, they have three concrete dudes

statues holding a giant ball up on their chest on their back of their necks.

And I thought like, wow, that's very

imposing.

Well, it's because it's an unnecessary aesthetic addition, right?

Yes.

They went out of their way to pay for that and to add that.

When it adds nothing to the going experience, you're like, oh,

this must be the fancy place because they're willing to put money into that.

Wasn't didn't build it in the fancy part of town, though.

No.

Well, when they built it here,

didn't stay fancy long there really wasn't anything here like this little texas lane had just like they just built the road over here to the side when that opened i might in fact it didn't go all the way back to congress it stopped right back behind the theater here and i think all of these uh restaurants and you see in like this shopping center out here none of this was here that hotel over there wasn't here used to be at 2d south over here somewhere my cousin worked was there yeah

Oh, it was over there, like where in that area, I think.

Yeah, I think you're right, right up there.

Wild part of town, when was the last time you hung out down here?

Probably when I saw Bruce Almighty.

We were driving around.

Can we talk about coffee?

Getting coffee this morning?

We were.

Initially, Eric had suggested a different coffee shop up closer, like Central Austin.

I said, hey, you know, this is our...

Maybe our last Danma question mark,

last canonical one.

So I was like, we should go down to the Metropolitan, you know, where we camped out for movie theater tickets 25 years ago.

So Eric found a coffee shop near here called, I think it was called Ovenbird.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Off of South Congress.

Like, yeah, we'll go there.

Ovenbird's closed on Monday.

I, look,

there's a common thing in Austin where restaurants are closed on Mondays or Tuesdays.

I get it.

It's cool.

The Tuesday one always weirds me out.

Uh-huh.

You know, like,

if it's open on Monday and it's open on Wednesday,

in your head, you expect it to be open on Tuesday.

It's weird that it's not.

If it's not open on Monday, I can roll with that.

I don't understand why a fucking coffee shop isn't open on the biggest day.

That's like the Super Bowl of coffee Monday morning.

It happens 52 times a year.

It's when everybody is like least excited excited to go to work.

They're the most exhausted and hungover from the weekend.

It's when coffee is most important to you.

I would say like 8 a.m.

on a Monday when you're struggling, you're looking at the week ahead of you and you're like, God help me just get through it.

Give me some coffee or something just so I can survive till 5.01 p.m.

on Friday so I have a two and a half days where I don't have to think about the following Monday and doing this all over again.

That's when you need coffee the most.

You're at your weakest.

You're at your lowest.

You're at your weakest.

You're your lowest point.

I don't understand why you would deny your customers the thing they need the most when they need it.

So we did a search for the next closest coffee shop and it was like two miles down William Cannon.

It was by William Cannon and Manchaca.

It was a place called Cannon Coffee and I thought we'll drive in that direction.

I'm sure we'll see another coffee shop along the way and we'll just duck in there.

You know, we'll be flexible.

There was a McDonald's and they have coffee, but there was not another coffee shop on the way there.

So we ended up going to Cannon Coffee all the way out there at like William Cannon and Manchaca.

A lot of memories for me though.

Yeah, you'd lived here.

My first apartment was on William Cannon.

It was called Cooper's Hill.

It's not anymore.

I don't know what it's called now, but it's right there at like First and William Cannon, I think.

Okay, yeah.

I think we drove by it, right?

Yeah.

And I pointed out and we drove by it.

And I had a flood of memories.

And I feel like we've talked about this area before.

And I feel like I've talked about how I moved to Austin before.

Yeah.

Where I just showed up, went to the apartment complex and said, can I move in today?

And they were like, do you have first last month's rent?

And I was like, yeah.

And they were like, okay.

Yeah, okay.

Well, here's your keys.

I don't know what the average time people, what the average lead time is for a move-in.

But anyway, sorry.

I don't know, man.

It's like, I can't imagine doing that.

Now, I was 23 years old, and I packed up everything I owned on December 15th, 1998, into one U-Haul truck,

pulled my pickup truck behind it, and just drove from New Jersey to Austin.

And just figured

this before cell phones.

Yeah.

I used an Atlas to be here, and I just thought, like, I'll figure it out when I get there.

And we instantly figured it out, and it wasn't hard.

I was living in my new apartment the day I got to Austin.

I'm just curious, like, do you remember what your thought process was to end up there?

Because I feel like

coming from Jersey, you would be coming from the northeast or maybe even I-10.

Or maybe you came up I-10 or something.

You came up from the south.

Well, you know, I had spent like three years at Fort Hood, so I had a little bit of knowledge of Austin.

I had remembered the William Cannon area a a little bit because we used to go stay at the Air Force Base.

Which would have been like East of here in the southeast part of town.

Yeah, and so I just I kind of remembered that eating at restaurants and stuff over there.

And I remembered it being okay.

And so I think I just, I had a computer.

And so I think I looked on the internet and I found like three places that said they had availability and I printed them out.

And I think Honestly, this was the first one I found.

Okay.

And if they had said no, I would have just gone to the second printout.

You would have asked them, where's this place?

Yeah, yeah.

And I think they just immediately said yes.

And I don't even remember where the other places were.

Great improv collaborators.

They really, yes-anded your move.

They really.

Thank God, man.

I don't know.

Yeah.

If they'd have said no, I would have just had to turn around and drive back to New Jersey.

Can I move in now?

Yes.

And here are the keys.

Here you go.

Yes, I am.

So you lived right around here.

We drove by it, like I said, a little while ago.

Driving down here brought back memories then.

Well, I was remembering

that old Styrofoam cup that used to

follow me around.

It's still there.

There it is.

I never thought I'd see you again, old foe.

It'll be here for another 50,000 years.

Don't worry.

I just, I remembered,

first thing I remembered was we drove by my old insurance agency, car insurance agency, and it was like next to, it was in a little shopping center, gas station shopping center right next to my apartment.

So I could walk to it to get my insurance right.

And one day I was paying a bill.

Back in the old days, guys, we'd have to drive there and give them a check.

Don't say that, man.

You sound so old, right?

I know.

I was paying the bill there one day, and as I was pulling out, I apparently tapped the car next to me with my car.

Allegedly.

Allegedly.

Like, I never, I didn't know.

I didn't feel it.

I didn't hear it.

I thought I had plenty of room.

I was still wasn't out of the parking space when a guy was in front of me screaming at me like this.

So I stop.

Yeah.

And I get out of my pickup truck and I go, what's up?

Can I help you?

And he goes, you just hit my car.

And I go, oh my God, I did.

When?

Who?

Me?

I think you have the wrong person.

He's like, I saw it.

You just hit my car.

It was on my desk.

And I watched it.

You just hit my car backing out.

And I went, oh my God, I'm so sorry.

Where?

Let's look.

And I'm looking at the side of his car to try to find the damage where my car rubbed his.

And I'm like, are you sure we hit?

And he goes, my car went,

it moved the second you hit it.

I saw my car shake.

And I'm like, okay.

He's like, give me your insurance.

I'm like, I'm 23.

He's probably 40s or 50s.

Scary old guy, you know?

Everybody in authority is scary when you're 20.

Yeah.

And I'm like, oh, okay.

And I run on my glove compartment and I give him my insurance.

And he looks at it and he goes,

I don't think we have a problem here, Mr.

Fink.

You have a good day.

There's no damage.

And I go, What the fuck?

And I realized he was my insurance agent.

He was my insurance agent.

I gave the check to the secretary.

You gotta be kidding me.

He was gonna fucking rip me a new asshole.

And then he saw that he was the agent and he was like, nah, we're fine.

Yeah.

Good.

Just walk away.

I bet it was.

It sounds like a scam to me.

It sounds like a scam.

I fucking changed insurance agencies after that.

That was State Farm.

Wow.

It was a local state farm dealer.

And I changed after that.

I was like, okay.

This guy's running a scam.

Yeah, it was fucking kind of scammy.

I was like, you got to be fucking kidding me.

That's crazy.

Then I remembered another story.

Refer, I'm sorry to interrupt

for a second, but while you were telling your story when you were starting it, kind of a creepy silver Dodge Ram pulled up into four handicapped parking spaces here next to us and just kind of sat there and then left.

They're behind you now, Eric.

They're over there.

Like just park.

I don't know what they're doing, but I'm sure they're up to no good.

So if we need to hide, if you start shooting, I hide behind that pillar right there.

Anyway, I'm sorry.

Go ahead, Jeff.

Well, you'll love this next story.

One night I was chilling in my apartment, at an upstairs apartment, back of the place, and I heard a bunch of glass break.

And I was like, what the fuck?

And screaming.

And so I got out of bed and I put my clothes on.

I ran downstairs.

And there was a couple that lived below me.

They had a, it was a, like a young married couple.

They had a baby.

The baby was like 18 months old.

Okay.

And the guy was kind of a redneck dude.

I don't think he was a mechanic or something.

Nice guy.

I don't remember his name.

But he was always like, he was always out front just getting drunk with like the other people in the apartment complex and they're always like we're gonna have some beers with us you know and i was always like i'm okay i'm gonna go play crash bandicoot

i was on my playstation 2 back then so playstation one or playstation one you're right that's all i care about and uh

and i so i heard all this commotion and i ran downstairs to see what it was and he and the dude who lived like a couple houses over had gotten into some kind of a fight and the guy pushed him so hard and he was drunk he fell into his picture window like for his apartment complex through it so that was shattered the whole window was shattered out he was covered in cuts it was blue was it your neighbor who was covered in cuts

yeah and when i got down the stairs and i'm surveying all this he's coming out of the he's coming out he's like crawling out of the window and he's got a giant shard of glass in his hand and he's trying to swing it at oh my god to kill him and i it's that you think about like how dumb you are when you're young right

i got between those those two guys.

Oh, my God.

And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop some, stop some, hold on.

And the guy's like, I don't know what's going on, man.

He's crazy.

He started swinging shit.

And I just pushed him off of me.

And the next thing I know is fucking blood everywhere.

And he's like, I have that motherfucker.

And I'm just like, holy shit.

And I'm like, dude, you got a kid like eight feet away.

You've got a baby.

Stop this.

You've got glass all over your house.

And I had to, like, I had to get him to drop the jagged thing

of glass.

And he had fucking cut all over the place.

I'm surprised I didn't call his hand up.

The cops didn't come, but they called an ambulance.

And it was a whole fucking thing.

Yeah.

And I went upstairs and went back to bed.

And then we bought a house not too long after that and got out of there what do you think that guy's still out there somewhere right now what do you think he's doing

still working

walking the streets with a shard of glass in his hand his kids his kid's in college now yeah that uh so he doesn't have to worry about that truck's repositioning itself over by the hotel now that's funny uh

yeah i i definitely am uh

one other story i remember and this is the last one i'll tell you from this area when we i talked about that u-haul we rented yeah yeah so we rented that u-haul and um And I was like so excited and nervous.

We move everything in.

And then I'm like, let's go turn this U-Haul in and get our money back or whatever.

And so we found the closest U-Haul.

It was up on Congress, I believe.

And we drove in.

And the inside of the U-Haul was covered in plants.

Like this, there was like a thousand billion plants everywhere.

Okay.

And there was just one dude in there with like long hair, kind of a hippie dude, maybe like 35.

And he was so fucking nice.

And he was just sitting there.

Like aggressively nice.

Yeah, he was just like, just chilling out.

And we got to talking to him and he's like so what brings y'all to austin and i was telling him that i you know used to station a forthood and the whole thing and we just like well it's just like the way austin and i don't mean this in a bad way but the way austin like i'm not lamenting it but the way austin used to be where you would strike up conversations with strangers it was a lot more like almost like a small town feel it really was and everybody was just genuinely nice and interesting and we got you know it's one of those things where it probably like felt like a half hour probably seven minutes of just sitting there and talking to him uh-huh and he was like talking about his air plants and then all these other plants that he had and he was like You guys want some clippings?

And we're like, Really?

And he's like, Yeah, I'll give you some of these clippings.

You guys can grow them out of the drive in your apartment complex.

And we're like, Yeah, that'd be awesome.

And so he stood up from his desk and he was wearing shorts and he had swastika tattoos on his knees.

Oh,

and I went,

I don't know, I think we'll probably just go.

And he's like, You know what?

The clippings?

I was like, No, no, I think we're okay.

You know what?

He's just like, Oh, I just go.

You don't want Nazi plants?

Yeah, and I just never, and I just left him, never went back to that area.

And I just remember thinking, like,

how confused confused I was by how that conversation and then those tattoos.

And then I was sharing that.

That story took a turn I wasn't expecting.

For me, too.

For me, too.

For me, too.

And I remember thinking, like, what is it?

Because I had such a good vibe of Austin in that moment.

I'm like, this is what my life's going to be like?

And then I was like, oh, is this what my life's going to be like?

I'm willing to.

I think I'm going to go out on a limb here.

I don't think that guy would have offered me plants.

Just a wild, wild guess here.

I'm going to say.

He can get plants.

You can get out.

Yeah.

Oh, you've you've played this game before i see

oh man that's wild

it's yeah it's so do you do you miss living down here at all no

no

no no no offense to people live in south austin but i could be in any

this is this is suburban sprawl i could be anywhere in america right now we talked about this when we were over on the west side the other day it's uh it looks like anything anywhere it's pretty-ish you know.

There's trees, and

a lot of restaurants see it at.

Where we are right now, it's amazing to me how loud I-35 is.

Yeah, I don't know if that's going to get picked up by the mics at all, but it is like a non-stop hum and roar as cars go by.

And on the bright side, hey, they're expanding it.

They're going to make it even bigger.

So

with the doors open?

Yeah, that's the truck.

Yeah, I don't know what he's doing now.

He's probably shooting up over here before he calls it a day.

Or he wanted to

desperately wanted to record his podcast over here, and then we fucking snaked his spot.

He's like, shit, you got to go to the Staybridge.

You got to go to the backup.

We've been there.

We've all been there with our podcasts.

So today, April 1st, happy anniversary, Jeff.

Happy anniversary, guys.

21 years.

21 years of rooster teeth.

And no other news to report.

You and I had an idea 21 years ago, and then we drug a couple of less talented people along with us.

And look at where we all are.

Top of the world.

Same parking lot.

Same movie theater.

That's what I thought it was.

Same part of town.

That's why I thought it was good for this episode.

Good location for this episode to come back to someplace 25 years later.

Someplace that has not changed.

It's a little dirtier.

Yeah, it could use a power watch.

The sun has hit it much.

It's much the same.

Yeah, I mean, this is exactly how I picture in mind.

This is exactly the same.

The regal sign is different.

That's the only change.

Yeah.

Yeah,

it's still here, the Metropolitan.

It was the Metropolitan 14.

Was that it?

Did it have 14 screens?

I want to say that.

That's what I remember.

I'll trust you.

All I know about the screens is you could sneak in through some of these doors and go see movies for free in the back and plug in a PlayStation.

We got a

tour as we pulled in, and it was just Gus pulling over and going, this is where the ticket was.

And this is the door that got propped open.

Yeah.

And this is where we plugged in the PlayStation.

Yeah, it was so funny.

I snuck in there and watched go.

What a waste of fucking two hours.

Good movie.

I just love that movie, man.

It was a good movie.

I like it.

No, it's good.

Go see it.

Was that?

That was Doug Lyman's follow-up, right?

Yeah, it was Doug Lyman's follow-up to Swingers.

Yeah, you and Bernie hated that movie.

I thought it was good.

I don't often agree with Bernie, but every once in a while.

When I was texting with, you know, we were all texting last night, you know, when Eric was proposing where to go.

I was like, hey, we should go to the Metropolitan.

Eric asked where it is.

I said, oh, yeah, you know, down there on Little Texan 35.

And Eric just asked, the Regal?

The Regal.

I don't know.

Yeah, is that what it's called?

You guys just kept going, like, oh, yeah, like the Metropolis.

And I'm like, what the fuck is that?

It's not called the Metropolitan anymore.

I don't think it has any, it's regal, it's Regal Metropolitan.

Oh, but like, when you.

I don't know this.

This used to be.

No, I would just go, like, oh, yeah, the Regal that's down there.

I would never assign like another name to it.

I don't think it was a Regal initially.

Oh, I doubt it.

I don't think so.

Yeah.

I doubt it was.

Do they.

So, which was the which was the theater chain that had the pre-roll with like the cool cat?

What?

Do you remember that?

Yes.

It was like a cat and his girlfriend going to the movies.

Was it regal?

It wasn't regal.

It might have been regal, dude.

It might have been regal.

He had it, and she had...

He had like that jacket on, like a high school later jacket.

She had like a pink

collar.

Yeah.

And she was kind of dainty.

Yeah, what was that?

I think it was this.

I think it was Regal.

I think it was Regal.

And then they replaced it with like the roller roller coaster popcorn thing.

Yes, that was Regal.

Yeah.

The roller coaster.

I saw that on TikTok the other day.

I got on old movie intro TikTok.

I was fucking wild.

I'm looking for the cat thing.

I don't see it.

And didn't he have a fat beaver friend or something?

Like a real short friend?

I think you're making shit up now, but I definitely remember.

I remember the two cats.

I remember the cat.

I think there were some ancillary characters too.

And I think there was like a little fat beaver, but I could be real.

I remember when I moved to New Jersey, I was so fucking pissed off because

whatever movie chain we had up there, because I had been living here forever, right?

At Fort Hood, whatever movie chain we had up there had the Muppets.

There was like a Muppet intro they did.

And I was thinking, like, I have this fucking fake-ass cats

like wanting to be like DJ Scat Cat from the fucking video.

And they get like legitimate

licensed Muppets.

Huh.

Which Muppets was it?

Was it like the big ones?

No, it was like.

Okay, it was lesser characters.

They didn't have that Kermit or Piggy money.

I don't think Kermit characters.

Rizzo is definitely there.

That shrimp guy.

Oh,

yeah.

Sam the Eagle was there.

One, Statler, but not Waldorf.

One of the two-headed monsters from Sesame Street.

This is a good idea.

I can't find this fucking cat intro.

I'm looking so hard.

Maybe it was Santico's.

What the fuck is that?

I don't know what the fuck Santico's.

What is Santiko's?

It was like a regional theater in, I think, Central and South Texas.

It was.

It was.

If anyone can find find this weird cat intro, can you please send it to us so that way we can put it on anarchymeanything.com?

It was bigger than, I don't know what the fuck Santico's is.

I've never heard of Santico's.

Now we're three guys in front of a movie theater Googling cat intro movie.

Cat goes with girlfriend fat beaver friend.

Maybe, maybe fat beaver friend.

Oh, man.

I'm going to have to find it.

First result for me is I made my cat a movie theater.

Found it.

What, really?

It was Cinemark.

Cinemark.

Front Row Joe.

Front Row Joe.

See?

Front Row Joe.

Oh.

Is there a beaver?

I don't know.

Other characters.

Starstruck Penny

was the girlfriend.

Clyde is a dark gray cat.

Yeah.

Elton is a short, chubby brown cat with a red nose.

I bet that's what you mean.

That must be what I was thinking of.

Infant orange cat.

Yeah, that's probably it.

It'd be weird if it was four cats and a beaver.

Yeah, this is the most fucking 90 Ghostbusters,

the cartoon-looking ass cartoon.

He appeared, so I guess they used him from 1988 and then was retired in 1998.

That's way too long for something that looks like this.

That's what people said about Rooster Teeth, and they were right.

And who am I to argue?

Front Row Joe, man.

All right, we can wrap Rooster Teeth up.

I found Front Row Joe who I haven't thought about in 25 years.

Crazy.

Oh, my God.

So this is the last episode of our eight episode run.

And

we were talking about what exactly we want to do if there's going to be an in-between or if we're going to take a

very brief hiatus on this show.

I think it's probably going to have to be a hiatus.

Yeah.

Just a brief one.

And again, there's a lot of unknowns.

We've got to figure stuff out.

Yeah.

We're trying to get all the information that we can get so that way we can get this podcast going again for you as soon as possible.

For the latest news, check anarchymeanthing.com.

But we'll keep you guys updated on, I mean, honestly, it might be a thing where we do a quick recording and put it out when we have more information after this episode, just to let everyone know,

you know, what exactly is going to be going on and what we're going to be doing.

But I think the idea is to continue this podcast in some form or fashion,

but probably not exactly in this format.

Maybe.

I like the form.

Well, yeah, we got a lot to work out.

But the thing is, is that come hell or high water, whatever this is, continues.

Yeah.

It just may be called something differently.

Yeah.

But don't unsubscribe from this channel or this RSS feed.

There will be more information communicated in the coming

month.

Yeah.

I would say.

I was going to say months, but I think a month or sooner.

Yeah.

I mean, it would probably be in like, by the time this comes out, probably, I would hope that within two or three weeks, we'll have all the info that we need on exactly what we're doing and how.

And we can share it.

Yeah.

And then we can let you know.

And

I mean, like, and if you're done with this podcast, that's totally fine.

But if you want to continue to support us, greatly appreciated.

Yeah.

Because I'm now more than ever.

I do think it'll still be what this is, where we're just shooting the shit and getting coffee and hanging out and everything.

Why not?

I mean, mostly what this podcast has turned into to me is an excuse to spend time with y'all.

Yeah.

And I love the reminiscence of it.

I'll say this.

Now that Rooster Teeth is over, I don't feel the need.

I mean,

I don't think I'm going to feel the need to speak around shit as much as that.

No, no, not at all.

You know what I mean?

I feel like we can be a little bit more direct on some things.

Not Gus.

Gus will always be veiled.

I'm very circumspect.

That's my dad.

That's not.

I thought he was going to say circumcised.

100%.

You are.

No, you're not.

100%.

Thought he was going to say that, and I was going to go, whoa, this episode is crazy.

Circumspect.

I'm not going to use that word.

My wife yelled at me the other day.

So I was like,

my wife yelled at me the other day because she was like, I said something and I said, well, I think I have a more egalitarian view of that.

And she goes, what did you just say?

And I was like, egalitarian.

And she goes, who the fuck do you think you are?

What am I supposed to

use normal words?

And I was like, she's like, what are you trying to say?

And I was like, I just think everything should be equal.

And she's like, just say that.

Who are you trying to impress right now?

And I was like, I'm sorry.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

You have.

I thought it didn't begin the conversation.

You have a deceptively deep vocabulary.

I don't think people know that about you.

You are,

I feel

what I've learned about you is that you're a relatively avid reader and you know

it's something that Andrew said the other day.

You've probably seen more words than the rest of us just by volume.

And then by nature, it's probably just like a wider breadth of like what like your knowledge to that.

And I think it's fantastic.

And your wife needs to figure it out because she has a podcast where where two people read and she doesn't even fucking read

she doesn't read on that podcast

about using the word egalitarian you got to use circumspect yeah that's a new one drop drop circumspect is the new word yeah

there was a I'm gonna talk about a competing podcast real fast there was a an episode of Are You Garbage that we were listening to where there was a dude who, it was like the most interesting episode.

I don't remember what the guy's name was, but he was was a comedian who grew up kind of in Alabama trailery kind of situation like me.

Dusty, whatever.

What might have been that dusty dude?

Yeah, he was talking about how there was one smart guy in their family.

And every time he'd open their mouths, everybody was telling me he was stupid and to shut up.

And he thought he was dumb because no, everybody around him was too dumb to understand that he was smart.

It was a guy who was like dating his sister or whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, the guy dating his kid.

And he was like...

He like went to college and all this stuff.

And American Michigan.

Yeah, yeah.

So every time he would say something that was, I I mean, like that, a 10-cent word, it would just be hammering him.

And they had him convinced by the end that he was a fucking idiot and was making stuff up.

That's got to be awful.

I feel.

That'd be so funny.

Yeah, so I don't say circumspect.

What the fuck?

Employees have started showing up.

Got a couple here.

Well, do you think they're going to go?

They're going to let us see Dune 2.

We can sneak in the back.

I don't know what the first showing of the day is.

I looked last night.

I don't remember.

It's got to be Dune.

I'll wait till it's on Max.

It's,

I understand why people like it.

Yeah.

It has no levity whatsoever.

That's hard

for a really long time.

Blaine hates it.

I haven't seen it.

So that's making me not want to see it more.

That seems like a movie that Blaine is going to go out of his way to make his favorite thing in the world.

Did you see Dune 1?

Yeah.

Was it any good?

I thought it was boring.

Yeah, it's.

I read the book and I saw the David Lynch movie.

I don't neither.

Here's the thing.

Like, it's a...

Very well-made movie.

Like,

technically, incredibly small.

Beautiful.

Well-acted.

it looks incredible there's I don't have a knock on like the film other than it is so dry yeah and so like it really is very boring and there's moments where you go oh I think this is about to go off and it does for about 35 seconds and then it's back to boring yeah when the dune I haven't seen it by the way this one I didn't see the point.

When that movie was announced, I tried to reread Dune.

I thought, oh, let me get back into it.

And I'll try.

I I remember liking the book, let me read it.

I couldn't get through 80 pages.

Come on, it's like you have to read all the way to at least God Emperor of Dune.

I read a weird bit of trivia I had no idea about regarding the Dune books the other day.

I'm sure it was like some viral marketing thing for the movie, and I felt sucker for it, and here I am repeating it.

I guess when Dune was originally published, no publisher wanted to touch it.

So the first publisher for that book was Chilton, the auto parts manual manual publisher.

Yeah.

Oh, I didn't know that.

So Dune was published by the same company that publishes automotive repair manuals.

Awesome.

That's so cool.

Guess what?

It's just about as dry.

It's about how it reads.

That Dennis Villanew, right?

Is he the one that did the remake of

Blade Runner?

It wasn't a remake.

A sequel.

Or the sequel.

Yeah.

That was a very good movie.

Yeah, he made that.

He made Prisoners.

I feel like I saw.

He's like one of my favorite filmmakers, and I'm glad he's having a good time making these movies.

You know,

the sequel to Blade Runner where he goes to Vegas and it's all desert and stuff?

Yeah.

You know what I'm talking about?

What?

In the sequel to Blade Runner, that's where he goes to Vegas.

That's where he finds Harrison Ford.

He finds Harrison Ford.

I see.

I thought, okay, yeah, got it.

Yes.

I feel like I got enough Dune there.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

I bet he shot it the same way.

Yeah, yeah.

I probably saw Dune then.

I think Eric thought it was like a wacky side.

That's what I thought.

He thought Dune, he thought the sequel was a remake.

And so when he started calling it a remake, I thought maybe he didn't know what he was talking about.

Gotcha.

No, no, no.

No, it's on me on that one.

Do you think maybe it's the same situation that happened when the original Blade Runner was getting made, and then he filmed all like the horses and everything?

And he's like, This is for a dream sequence, and definitely not for the next movie I'm working on.

Denny Pelanew went,

You gotta keep them honest, baby.

I'm doing the same thing.

Well, that's right, we're out here in the desert for Blade Runner.

You know,

classic Blade Runner setting.

The thing I'm working on.

The thing I'm working on next.

I will say my biggest knock on Dune 2 is that the mouse is only in the second one for like 10 seconds.

Oh, that's not.

There's no Dunkin' Idaho either, is there?

No.

Is Sting in it?

No.

Speaking of Sting.

No idea.

I don't know what's going on.

Is that a Wasp?

Yeah, it's a Wasp.

Oh, wow.

Crazy.

Get the fuck away from me.

I'm going to stand up.

Let's...

Let's.

Oh, this fucking bench.

Let's talk a little bit about Cannon Coffee.

A place that we found suddenly.

A place that we found out of necessity.

Yeah.

Very hole in the wall.

very feels like a

90s coffee shop.

90s, late 90s, early 2000s coffee shops.

Oh, you can see some of the statues here that Jeff was talking about.

Oh, all the way up there.

Yeah.

I think there's other ones on top.

That's what you're talking about.

The ones up front is on top.

But those are the reminiscent of it.

Yeah, this is fine.

This is a good cup of coffee.

This is better than Black Star, whatever that place was we went last year.

Yeah, Black Rock Coffee is, I think, pretty low.

I mean, it's open, so it was way better than that other automatic oven bird or whatever it was.

This is like a

7.75?

Yeah.

7.5.

I think this is probably right around.

This is 6 or 7 for like the black coffee.

It's fine.

It was

great going to the little hole-in-the-wall place that was between a bar and a Mexican restaurant that also was a bar.

Yeah.

That had mariachis.

It did have.

Not at the time we went by, but apparently

more popular time.

That's all I saw was the word mariachis, and I thought that was the name of the place.

So I said, what's mariachis?

I was just going, it's Mexican folks singers.

It's fucking bullshit.

But that's what it was.

Stupid.

So we go into this little hole-in-the-wall spot, and oh, you finally stopped it.

You finally stopped the cup.

We went to like this little hole in the wall spot.

No one was really there.

A couple people out front.

Someone else who worked there who was just kind of like hanging out like off to the side, I think.

Seemed to be on a call or something.

And then

the two women that were working there.

And

one asked to, oh, yeah, what can I get you?

Oh, can I get a large black coffee?

And she went, okay, she started pouring it.

And I went, yeah, and I'll get a large hot Americano.

She went, well, hang on.

Hold on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

It was like, one, one drink at a time, please.

What?

You're pouring a large black coffee.

The other one is, oh, one, you don't have to make.

The other one makes it.

The other woman's working the machine, so she can get started on that.

So we got that.

And then I'm like, or and an ice coffee or a cold brew, like what, whatever you have.

They got it all rung up.

And then I went to insert my card.

Didn't work.

Okay.

Went to insert my card again.

Didn't work.

Went to insert my card again.

Didn't work.

And they went, hmm.

Yeah, I think like the internet is like weird right now.

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

Because it's the late 90s.

It's not defendable yet.

And she was like,

the internet's taking away all the options again.

I can't do it.

And then, so they swipe the card.

There's that truck again.

They swipe the card, and then it worked.

So was it the internet?

I bet, yeah, I don't know.

I bet it didn't actually run it.

I bet it's just going to batch process it later once it comes back up.

You guys also had tacos from Taco Deli.

Once again, they're everywhere.

Yeah.

Just the same as every other place.

Disappointing.

Unless it's a Taco Deli.

Yeah.

It's so weird.

It's so weird the difference between eating a taco deli elsewhere and going to a taco deli.

Yeah.

I mean, like, which ones did you guys get?

What tacos?

I got bean and cheese.

I got papas egg and cheese.

Bean and cheese is what I usually get, but I like the papas.

Actually, I really like the taco deli papas, so I got that.

So that's uh sushi.

It's like a mashed potato taco.

Yeah, I mean, cannon coffee is kind of your only option for coffee

if it's a Monday.

There's not many coffee places down there, which is very

cool.

There's a lot of houses, a lot of apartments.

It's a lot of urban sprawl, and you would expect, well, here's a Starbucks, or here's a Dunkin', or here's a.

Dude, there wasn't even that.

It was a huge opportunity

right now in South Austin.

Hey, are you doing anything?

You guys are doing

our calendar freed-ups.

In a month, we might be pretty free.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

You know how easy it would be to make a coffee podcast if we owned a coffee shop?

You just do it there.

Oh, my God.

We could build a little stage and then everyone would come and watch you do the podcast.

Billionaire's Welcome.

That's what we'll call it.

Billionaire's Welcome.

Billionaire Beans.

This is good.

We're ridiating.

We're coming up with the ideas.

We're going to be rich.

Hey, guys, I got some news for you.

Canon Coffee.

Pretty okay.

Yeah, I think it's middle of the road.

I think if I lived lived by it, I don't know that I'd go to it all too often, but it's a place where you could go in a pinch.

Yeah.

It felt really nice.

Just

two young women there going like, just kind of like fucking around.

Just a bunch of people on their laptops

against the wall.

It just felt very, yeah.

Just felt like a nice coffee shop.

Very comfortable.

Yeah, very comfortable coffee shop.

But that's that place.

So now we should get into an anarchy question.

All right.

And if you want to send us an anarchy question, we're not going to read it because we're going to take a hiatus.

God damn it.

You can batch it like he's batching the credit card processing.

He's throwing the cups away.

We're going to be done like in five minutes.

He really doesn't want that styrofoam cup out anymore.

Yeah.

We can just take a cup minute.

Put it in cup jail.

If you want to send us an anarchy question, you can.

At Anima Podcast

on Instagram and on Twitter.

or r slash animal podcast, which is the subreddit we do not run.

You can send your question.

We're not going to answer them, I don't think.

There may be no answers.

But, but, but, you know, we can always hang on to them because you never know.

This is from Tom Leomley.

Good night.

I'm in Houston, Texas, so it doesn't count.

Sorry, Gus.

Oh.

What?

He posted a picture of their dog and moved on to it.

That's a cute dog.

See, that's a picture I want to see.

He's got like a puggle kind of situation.

That's a 10 out of 10 dog.

But that's, you know, the blue bonnet thing.

I think if you go to anarchymeanything.com and go back to this week's episode, this last week's episode,

Gus, I think, put a link to the.

I did a search.

It was a link to a search on the Austin subreddit for all posts in the past month that contained the word blue bonnet as one word or blue bonnet as two words.

Jesus Christ.

And I think from the time we're recording this, the last eight days, there's 100 of them.

God damn.

So just to put it in perspective.

It's too many.

It's too many.

That doesn't even count the ones that post pictures without using the word blue bonnet in the past.

That is absolutely, which is a lot of them.

Right.

They'll post one where it's like.

Is this over yet?

Yeah.

Am I doing this right?

Right.

Great.

Hilarious.

Blue Bonnets, I am in You.

Yeah.

I feel like that joke has gone away.

It's gone.

And that was fun.

Years and years ago, I would go on Twitter and I would just search in quotes that I am in you.

And then I would just find six of them and just retweet them.

It was great.

Especially during PAX's.

Yeah, absolutely.

The worst.

Boston, I am in you.

Seattle, I am in you.

This is from C-Organizer837.

Heard you guys talking about Kirkland, about Kirkland, the Kagan Burger Master in the last episode.

As a Kirkland native, I'm happy to say that Burger Master is still going strong.

Yeah, I linked him on the website.

They would recommend that for a Seattle or Kirkland NFT, which is not for tourist spot.

That's very clear.

Cool.

You're not going to get it.

You're just going to make it angry.

Please don't do that to our cables.

He ground the wasp to a pulp using the X-rays.

But the cables are going to, but they're going to fucking...

Those are Roostie's cables.

Yeah.

Burger Master, great spot.

I mean, that place is so good.

Highly recommend it.

If you're ever in that area, definitely check it out.

I'm glad to hear it's an NFT.

I don't know how we discovered it.

I think it was just right by a hotel.

We were probably just being up there.

So here's their question.

I actually really like this.

I'm curious, too.

Did you guys ever consider moving out to Seattle with all the work you were doing with Microsoft for both RVV and individual projects that weren't RVV related?

Were there discussions in some way?

No.

Allow me.

Really?

Allow me to answer that question by insulting Seattle.

Get them.

The most boring place I've ever been.

It's beautiful.

It looks like a postcard, but the postcard goes to bed at 5.45.

What is that?

Why does everything, I mean, especially like downtown, everything's closed by 8?

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

Yeah, and it's so extra dark there at night.

It just feels oppressive.

Yeah, I never, never had any.

We had a really good friend who moved from Austin to Seattle, Lori, who we would go visit sometimes.

Oh, yeah.

And I, and And she couldn't understand why we stayed in Austin.

We couldn't understand why she moved to Seattle.

Also, there's a, I mean,

I just, I've lived in Texas most of my life.

I can't get over that hump of moving to a state that has a state income tax.

Yeah.

Oh, is that a hit?

I'm like, man, I'm not going to give away another 10% of my money on top of everything else.

I mean, that's a,

it's pretty.

I mean, it's pretty ready, you, man.

That's pretty good.

It's a little bit home, dude.

I like that.

Yeah, I mean, it works out.

You're getting fucked way off.

You're getting screwed.

But I think other states, you know, there are some states that have like high property tax and high sales tax and high state income tax.

It's cheap.

It's absolutely beautiful, Seattle.

But I've never,

I even went there with Emily a couple years ago for a convention, just the two of us.

We had a weekend there, and I was bored by Sunday and ready to go.

Is that right?

Yeah.

Where did you guys stay?

I don't know, somewhere downtown.

It's fine.

It's great.

I've been there a million times.

Pike Streets.

It's all cool.

We even rented bikes and did like a 40-mile bike ride around these beautiful lakes and stuff around there.

It's just i think for me i think it's just one of those places where like you know oh you if you get out of downtown it's so cool it's like going to england and going like well if you have to if you get out of london england's really great and it's like i i don't know it sucked i hated it i don't know i it's just not everything's for everyone i guess but that's also it's like if you get people come to austin they're like if you get out of austin it sucks stay in austin the rest of it sucks yeah it uh i always said that Like before I moved here, I always said I could move to Austin for five years and Seattle for like five years.

And I'm coming up to six on Austin, so that's a little bit longer than I thought.

I think I'd much rather live in Portland than Seattle.

Really?

More of my speed.

Was there no state-in-come tax in Oregon either?

Okay, cool.

So that was a move.

Was there a spot outside of Austin that you guys were thinking about?

Early on, we talked about Detroit, like an Orange.

Is that Or?

I didn't know about this.

We talked international a lot.

Really?

Yeah.

What, like Mexico?

Australia, Scotland.

Yeah, we'd looked at really cheap houses, like buying a neighborhood in Detroit back then.

Like houses that are like $5,000 or $10,000 or whatever, and just buying a bunch of them and having like our own commune.

Cool.

Yeah, I don't think LA was ever a consideration.

New York, no.

It's really disappointing that so much content creation could be anywhere and it's all gravitated back towards those hubs.

I feel the same way.

I think whenever you hear from people, and this happens with Mega 64, where people are like, oh, yeah, you guys like, you move into like LA.

It's like, no, you can kind of do what we're doing anywhere.

Yeah.

And I'm not sure why the need to be in L.A.

feels like it's strong for people.

I think it's access because

there's a gravity to it.

I agree.

And there is access in a way, but you're missing out or losing out on so many other things to get what you might potentially get.

access to there.

Yeah.

You know, I think that's also part of, and why those conversations never went very far and didn't last very long they were they were those conversations were over by season three probably for sure

is that like we one of the things that we always really appreciated was that we figured out how to do it here yeah right like that was like it was a part of our early message was fuck LA fuck those major areas you can do this the internet enables you to do whatever you want to do wherever you want to do it so when we talked about moving it was to move to like

we want to see the world what would be fun to explore not like oh cool let's pick up and move to be a small fish in a big pond.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

I just don't, you know, that's the benefit of

having a spot where you can kind of stretch out and everything.

It's why so many like streamers and stuff live in like the middle of nowhere.

They have like these giant houses and they're like, oh yeah, this wing of my home is where I do my streaming.

You know, it's like, oh, yeah, you can't do that in Calabasas.

I've got a giant piece of land.

That over there, that's my streaming house.

Yeah, it's that.

It's what I never understood.

Like back in the day when we signed the creatures to the Let's Play network and then or family, and then they, uh,

they pretty much disintegrated immediately, like, while they were signing the contract, and so we had Cowchop, and then we helped those guys move to L.A.

More information on that in a month.

They were so

that's not my drama, but that's theirs, but there was so much,

they had so much desire to move to LA, and it was such a big part of them.

We helped them do like this, like, get us to L.A.

kind of thing,

and

it worked, and they got there, and I guess they were happy there, but I just never understood that.

They had so much space for so cheap in Denver where they were, and they were so desperate to get away from it.

But then again, I think Denver's a pretty boring city, too.

So I thought I would have been desperate to get away from it.

I just wouldn't have gone to LA.

Yeah, my big airport.

My brother lives out that way.

They do have a big airport.

It's not fucking near goddamn anything.

You get to that airport and you just go, all right, been flying for about three hours.

Let's get in a car for another hour.

Yeah, almost there.

Any other spots that you guys are thinking about?

Yeah, it pretty much much covers it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And like nothing seriously.

Yeah.

You know, not honestly.

No, just it's tough.

Just pitballing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like that.

I don't know about y'all, but I was just so fucking happy.

I just loved Austin so much.

Yeah.

That's why we do this podcast, and that's why we're hanging out at a movie theater

we went to 25 years ago.

I want to say we watched the Phantom Menace over there in one of those screens that was on that side of the room.

I remember that.

Beautiful.

Yeah.

Well, I think that'll do it for Anma.

I think that'll do it for Anma.

I think that'll do it for Anma.

When we have more information, we'll let you know.

We'll put some stuff up.

We'll clue you guys in.

We're not going to keep you in the dark.

We're not trying to be cagey.

And we're not trying to be like, ha ha, we'll make them wait.

Yeah, why would we make you wait?

This is how we're going to earn our living.

This is how we're going to pay our bills.

I want you to have all the information right away so you can let people know what we're doing.

I saw someone in the Rusty subreddit post a thread like, hey, is there a mega thread chronicling what everyone's going to be doing after Rishif shuts down?

I was like, man, if you let me know.

I want to know what I'm going to be doing.

I don't think anyone knows anything.

No, and we don't.

And it's not, again, this, no one on either side, like

none of the situation that we're in is us.

Okay, yeah, man, we're just going to like, okay, we got to wait for like the right time to strike.

There's nothing we can do right now.

There's no strategy.

Yeah.

And there's similarly, or conversely, rather, there's no contention either.

No, no, not like there's not friction.

We're trying to fight to work stuff out for Warner Brothers.

No, we just.

It's just going through the

base being very fucking cool

and chill and understanding, but shit takes time.

Yeah.

And we just don't want to put our feet in our mouths or create unrealistic expectations.

I mean, it's just been a lot of like, any news?

Here's a breadcrumb.

Okay.

And then we wait.

And that's just the way this goes.

We'll get there.

Yeah.

Yeah, we'll get there.

And as soon as we're there, we'll let you know.

We need you to know as soon as we know.

Yeah, come through.

We have some ideas on what we want to do and how we want to do it, but we just can't do any of it yet.

So I think that'll do it for Anma.

Let's get out of here.

People showing up.

R/slash ANMA podcast, the subreddit we don't run.

Go follow us there at Anma Podcast on Twitter and on Instagram.

Go.

We'll have some information there as well whenever we do.

Hopefully, we put something out.

You can listen.

Any

parting thoughts on this RSS feed?

Let's go buy a car from that car vending machine over there.

No way.

I want to go find the silver truck.

He's over there.

The silver truck's over there now.

He keeps moving.

Yeah.

There's someone parked next to our car who's just sitting in his car.

I'm curious if we're going to encounter anything when we leave here.

No, maybe.

I think he just probably works here.

Let's go find out.

Well, why is he inside then?

His shift doesn't start for another 15.

There's other workers inside.

All right.

He can't smoke pot inside.

That's true.

Well, his shift, it's 11:27.

He starts at 11:30.

I got you.

Yeah, that's probably it.

All right.

Well, thanks for listening, and we'll see you guys soon.

We will.

Bye.

Mike and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-litre junk.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia, made to travel.
