346 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,720 Oh boy. 347 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,360 Yeah, that was so funny. 348 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,920 But I mean, the movies aren't wrong. 349 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,080 That's kinda what Christmas has become. 350 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,600 It's the higher percent what it's become. 351 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,200 Yeah, I mean, if you, okay. 352 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,840 Some people celebrate Christmas because it's supposedly 353 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,360 the day Jesus was born. 354 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,720 I mean, how do people know it was December 25th, 355 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:11,960 2,000 years ago? 356 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,680 Well, they've already basically proven it wasn't. 357 00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:16,640 Yeah, it's winter solstice. 358 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,280 Basically they commercialize winter solstice. 359 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,400 Yeah, and so we'll do a little Jesus birthday bit, 360 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,920 but then really what we want you to do 361 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,200 is spend money at restaurants, spend money on presents, 362 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,240 spend money on travel. 363 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,120 Go travel, go to the restaurants with your family, 364 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,280 and buy presents. 365 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,360 That's what we need you to do right now. 366 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,760 Travel, travel, travel. 367 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,920 So, which sucks. 368 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,720 My family and I, we've come to an agreement 369 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,120 where it's just like, we don't bother with the actual day 370 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,320 of the holiday, because it doesn't fucking matter. 371 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,440 So, I'll go up the weekend before 372 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,560 or the weekend after Christmas, 373 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:50,960 and then we'll just do our Christmas. 374 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,560 Because it's like, you can literally just make up a day. 375 00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:57,520 Australians, their Christmas is in the middle of summer, 376 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,360 and they barbecue and stuff. 377 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,280 We quit 20 years ago, me and my wife, 378 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,720 and now we still do Christmas for the kids, 379 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,560 but we don't buy each other presents for Christmas. 380 00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:06,640 That's stupid. 381 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,840 My wife wants something, 382 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,760 she's got the same checking account I got. 383 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,440 Go get whatever the hell you want. 384 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,760 Yeah, I buy anything that I need or want. 385 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,080 There's nothing that, like, the things that are outside 386 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,200 of my realm to get myself is not something 387 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,840 that I would expect someone to buy me. 388 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,240 It's like, oh, I need a new entertainment system for my, 389 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,720 like, I would like an entertainment system 390 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,640 that isn't two desks put together. 391 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,840 See, we still do, like, for me and my wife, 392 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,720 we still do little things to each other. 393 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,960 Like, nothing big. 394 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,760 Like, usually kind of like something, 395 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,720 like, if it's something big, it'll be like a household item 396 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,840 that we could both use. 397 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,880 You know, like, I think last year I got her, 398 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,720 it was a cooking appliance of some sort, 399 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:41,880 and I was like, yeah, I'm excited to use it. 400 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,720 You use, right? 401 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,640 Yeah, yeah. 402 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,320 So I think it was a crock pot with the sous vide 403 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,160 and all that stuff. 404 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,800 I still haven't used the sous vide yet. 405 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:49,760 I want to, though. 406 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,160 I just haven't had the time. 407 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,080 But yeah. 408 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,240 Problem is that a lot of the times, 409 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,720 are you really even getting something 410 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,400 that means anything to anybody? 411 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,040 Like, for my kids, yes. 412 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,600 Yeah, for the kids, that's what I'm saying. 413 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,440 It's what we do. 414 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,480 It's cheap, it's all toys. 415 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,520 Like, for my mom, I feel like she always gets 416 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,200 the raw end of the deal when it comes to gifts. 417 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,520 Like, I think most moms do. 418 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,360 The last four years. 419 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,320 That's a constant in every family. 420 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,240 The last four or five years, 421 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,200 she's just gotten some kitchen appliance. 422 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,680 And I know that my mom is just, 423 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:21,960 she's cooking less and less. 424 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,480 She doesn't want to be, 425 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,600 like, they gave her a standing mixer last year, I think. 426 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,440 And I'm like, when the fuck has our mother 427 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,520 ever showed interest in making cakes 428 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,200 or baking or whatever? 429 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,200 And then they got her a, 430 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,960 now the one that I thought was amazing, 431 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,760 and I should have stolen it from her, 432 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,520 but she had like a, 433 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,760 I think it was a hot dog, 434 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,800 it was a hot dog toaster. 435 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,400 So you put the hot dogs in. 436 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,840 Those are cool. 437 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,720 I don't think you'd ever, 438 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,560 it's one of those things, 439 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,360 like I have a sandwich maker and I never use it. 440 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,680 Yeah, it's like a panini press or whatever. 441 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,120 I have a T-Fal Opti-Grill, 442 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,800 which the only reason I know it's a T-Fal Opti-Grill 443 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,080 is because my buddy gave it to me. 444 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,240 And then to audition for an infomercial 445 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,880 that I got the part for, 446 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,400 I used that to demonstrate all the parts of it or whatever. 447 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,880 And so I know every bit of the T-Fal Opti-Grill. 448 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,960 But the thing is, is that he gave, 449 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,520 so they never used it. 450 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,800 They're like, oh, we never used this thing. 451 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,800 It's brand new in the box or whatever. 452 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,120 I've used that thing 10,000 times. 453 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,040 Sandwich maker part, it works for quesadillas 454 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,320 and it works for sandwiches like a fucking jean. 455 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,000 I use mine two or three times a year, 456 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,920 but not like you think you're gonna when you buy it. 457 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,760 You think you're gonna use it. 458 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,600 No, no, here's the, 459 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,440 I get what you're saying, yes. 460 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,280 And I agree with most things. 461 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,680 Except I've been pretty good. 462 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,760 My air fryer, I use constantly. 463 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,040 My toaster, I use constantly. 464 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,280 My sandwich maker, I use constantly. 465 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,160 Even my crock pot. 466 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,520 I bought a little mini one-person crock pot 467 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,720 and I've used that enough times to justify 468 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,520 the $10 I spent for it at Walmart. 469 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,920 Before I leave, I have to see how small 470 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,320 that one-person crock pot is. 471 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,280 Curious about that. 472 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,120 Yeah, I'll show you. 473 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:57,960 I'll show you. 474 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:58,800 It's only, it's- 475 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,480 I've never heard of a one-person crock pot. 476 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,320 Actually, they sell them. 477 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,800 They're not actually even sold for one, 478 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,360 they're not sold as one-person crock pots. 479 00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:05,200 They're sold as like- 480 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,240 Like mini dinners? 481 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,800 No, like for dips. 482 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,720 Like for, you put cheese in or whatever, 483 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,080 put it out, you have three or four of them. 484 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,520 Like a side crock pot. 485 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,600 Okay, I would argue that you could put, 486 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,000 it fits a breast of chicken. 487 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,480 Oh yeah, it's a one-person meal for sure, yeah. 488 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,320 No, it would work for you. 489 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,160 I'm just saying that's- 490 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,480 So I could put two breasts of chicken 491 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,640 next to each other, they're skinny enough. 492 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,640 And then I could do the cracked chicken. 493 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:30,640 I've done, I could put about enough meatballs for a meal. 494 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,680 Like when I do the meatballs that you- 495 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:33,520 Right, yeah. 496 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,000 It's funny, you both have given me a crock pot recipe 497 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,760 that I use quite often. 498 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,400 I quite often make the barbecue meatballs 499 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,000 and then I quite often make the cracked chicken 500 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,200 if I'm gonna do like a mashed potato in a roll 501 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,520 or something, yeah. 502 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,000 That's the best, that cracked chicken. 503 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,840 Look it up everybody, you look up like cracked chicken. 504 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:51,840 I think it's just not good. 505 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,320 I think it's the recipe is actually for like a, 506 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,240 it's like Mississippi pulled beef, 507 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,920 but we substitute the beef for chicken 508 00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,960 and it works great. 509 00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:04,600 You gotta put like a dry packet of McCormick's gravy 510 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,880 in there and then- Aju. 511 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,920 Aju and then pepperchinis and then what's crazy, 512 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,640 it just cooks like juices and everything 513 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,280 just ends up cooking and then the chicken 514 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,160 is just pulled apart and if you have some mashed potatoes 515 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,360 and like a couple rolls on the side, 516 00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:22,080 you make the perfect little fucking sandwiches. 517 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,680 I go back and forth between mashed potatoes 518 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,120 and just white rice. 519 00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,880 It kinda, either carb works great for it. 520 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,040 I'm gonna, yeah, I prefer mashed potatoes every time. 521 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,200 Andy Rice hates rice. 522 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,040 He hates rice. 523 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,800 I like fried rice actually. 524 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,720 I'm not even trying to be funny 525 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,160 if I was gonna eat anything, I like fried rice. 526 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,240 Even fried rice is great. 527 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,560 Yeah, everyone loves fried rice. 528 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,600 When I go to a, when I go to Teppanyaki, 529 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,520 anytime I go to a Teppanyaki, their fried rice, 530 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,600 it's like, shit, I mean it's so fucking good. 531 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,000 I had fried rice today. 532 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,840 Panda. 533 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,840 Panda, that's great. 534 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,360 You know what, I'm not a fan though. 535 00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:01,320 I don't like sticky white rice and I don't like Spanish, 536 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,760 or Mexican rice, the yellow rice. 537 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:04,800 I love Mexican rice. 538 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,360 Gotta be made right though. 539 00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:08,600 That's the problem is like, I think I had too much, 540 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,200 my mom liked making Mexican rice 541 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,240 when she did chicken rice and beans, 542 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,320 or chicken rice and corn or whatever the meal would be 543 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,080 that she would make a couple times a week. 544 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,960 It'd always be that yellow Mexican corn or whatever, 545 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,640 and it'd be mushy, you know, like, 546 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,520 I don't know if she was even, I'm sure she made it right, 547 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,600 but it's just yellow with sauce or whatever, 548 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,280 and then chicken and corn or whatever, 549 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,880 but yeah, not a fan of that. 550 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,720 Maybe that's what kind of threw me off the whole rice thing, 551 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,640 and then sticky white rice on its own, I don't like. 552 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,680 Give me a sushi roll, I don't care. 553 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,920 Delicious, right? 554 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,160 Yeah, that's true. 555 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,120 But like, I'm talking, if I go to like a Thai restaurant, 556 00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:45,760 and they're like, what? 557 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,600 Rice. 558 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,920 Dude, if I go to a Thai restaurant 559 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,040 and I get a yellow curry 560 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,280 and they give me that beautiful broth, 561 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,600 the last thing I'm gonna do is dump it onto some rice 562 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,720 so that I'm eating it. 563 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,080 No, because that doesn't do it for me. 564 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,280 So if anything, I'm eating the less carb version. 565 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,760 Yeah, no, yeah, it's better for you for sure, yeah. 566 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,600 That's probably a good thing, I don't like rice. 567 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,680 If I liked rice, if that was just a go-to, 568 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,720 I'd probably be an extra 50 pounds, you know, 569 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,360 like just in general. 570 00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:09,840 I'm already a fat fuck, so. 571 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,160 So Walter Goggins, let's address it right now, 572 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,720 this is one of his standout roles. 573 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,560 Amazing. 574 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:17,520 He's so fucking good at this. 575 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,560 A man obsessed with, like, what I love is that 576 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,440 he's an assassin, that's his job, 577 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,120 and he never think, like, he's obsessed over the Santa thing, 578 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:29,680 but never, like, he doesn't think he's gonna go kill Santa. 579 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,880 That's not part of what his agenda is. 580 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,640 It's like, in the beginning, he's just a guy 581 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,600 who got burned by Santa as a kid, 582 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,880 and now he's collecting these made in Santa's 583 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,560 workshop toys so that he can, I don't know. 584 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:43,920 I don't know what his goal is. 585 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,760 That's insane, right, yeah. 586 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,120 He's insane though. 587 00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:47,600 And then when he gets hired by the kid, 588 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,120 oh yeah, it's on Santa Claus, motherfucker. 589 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:53,480 It's what he says, I'm looking for Santa Claus, 590 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,720 motherfucker, where is he? 591 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,640 I love his, I just love that he kills the postman, 592 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,560 takes the car, goes in, it's my first day, 593 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,120 where's the boss, goes in there. 594 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,600 So if you wanna go with, like, that's a little unrealistic. 595 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,920 Like, his silencer works like a silencer in a movie, 596 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,640 not like a real life, which doesn't silence a gun, 597 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,000 it just dampens the noise, but you can absolutely 598 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000 hear a gunshot going off. 599 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,840 So they keep with that trope. 600 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,920 I wanna see a movie that... 601 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,240 Show us what they really sound like. 602 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,800 Yeah, I wanna see a few movies do it 603 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:27,640 so that we buck the trend. 604 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,200 Hasn't there been at least one or two 605 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,280 that have actually shot, like, wasn't that 606 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,560 the Navy Seals movie, what was that movie called? 607 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,760 Act of Valor? 608 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,720 Didn't they actually have real silencer sounds in it? 609 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:40,960 No, I don't know, I've never seen that. 610 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,320 You never saw it, that was a good movie. 611 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,080 And used with real Navy Seals, like as the actors. 612 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,080 And they were firing live rounds in the filming, 613 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,520 not at each other, but they fired live rounds while filming. 614 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,000 That's pretty cool. 615 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,120 I heard about that, I think it was right around 616 00:21:56,120 --> 00:22:00,360 the same time that, was it Battleship came out? 617 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:03,960 And that also used some real soldiers from the Navy. 618 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,120 Battleship was terrible. 619 00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,880 Well, how else are you gonna take a Mattel game? 620 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,160 Yeah, and make a movie. 621 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,240 I kinda liked how they did it, where it's like, 622 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,480 there's an alien ship that we need to bomb. 623 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,160 We don't have any... 624 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,480 There's a boat. 625 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,440 Wasn't there a scene when they actually did, like, 626 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,720 have the Battleship, like, 627 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,120 no, you gotta hit E5. 628 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:27,960 Yeah. 629 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:28,800 Like, no, that's what I'm saying, 630 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,360 that's what I kinda thought that was funny, 631 00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:32,880 where it's just like, all the grids went down, 632 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,280 it's like, well, how do we know where to fire? 633 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,160 I don't know, we'll just have to blindly... 634 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,240 Yeah, yeah, it's so stupid. 635 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,520 But, yeah, so other than like the silencers, 636 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,720 this is a fairly realistic thing. 637 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,400 So as Walter Goggins goes on his mission to kill Santa, 638 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,560 my first thought was, who's gonna feed his hamster? 639 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,000 But thank God, that gets taken care of, 640 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,400 because he takes the hamster with him. 641 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,640 I like his apartment, like, he has a cool apartment. 642 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,320 I don't know what the Western suit is that's on display. 643 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,600 It's just his little... 644 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,000 The one that he opens up and all of his guns are behind. 645 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,800 You know what, I was thinking about that, 646 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,640 and I'm not 100% sure, 647 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,360 because I have to go back and watch. 648 00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:14,920 The movie he's in on, or the series he's in on now. 649 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,760 Justified. 650 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,760 No, the series he's in on. 651 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,440 Oh, the Fallout. 652 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,240 Fallout. Yeah. 653 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,240 That suit might be the suit from the beginning of Fallout. 654 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:27,760 But that's a... 655 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,920 Which is a trip, if it is. 656 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,240 No, but that's a big, no. 657 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,280 That would be like Easter egg. 658 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,360 That would be like him doing an Easter egg, though. 659 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:36,800 That would be him several years before the idea 660 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,640 of the Fallout.
