Hey, what's happening everybody? It It's me. It's hello, this card with this thing that will last a minute, and then it'll go away. Hi. Hello. It's the Jeff Gersman show. I'm here. It's Jeff Gersman. I'm joined by Austin Walker. Austin, how's it going? Dude, it's going. It's great. Cold. It's cold. It was so warm here for a week out on the East Coast. And now it's back to like, it was freezing last night. It's bullshit. I'm sick of it. I'm sick. I like the cold generally. Yes. But it's been bitter. Like bitter emotionally, bitter. It's been like the winter hard here. And then it got good. I went to the park. I went to the garden. I saw the cherry blossom trees. It was beautiful. And it's cold. Sick of it. That sounds great. Yeah. I mean, I'm more comfortable in the cold. I'm a fucked up

1:11.2

thing.

1:11.6

I'm a big dude.

1:12.7

I like it

1:13.5

when it's cold. No one, no one said when you move to Southern California, hey, by the way, when they talk about that, it never rains in Southern California part. It's because it's like fucking 85 degrees all the time. it's wild out there man man. Yeah. It was literally 83 degrees two days ago, and now today is it is raining. And this is like the only the third day of rain. I think we've gotten all season. Well, you were just telling me that no one has gutters out there. No one knows how to build a world for the rain. So I hope that that's going to. Now I want it to rain. Now that I've done all the work to prevent the house from flooding. Right. I am desperate for rain. I'm like, yes, I spent all this money. I want to watch the water go down the drains. Let me see. I need this. I want to watch this water drain out. Have you considered, have you considered getting involved in the new Info Wars?

2:01.8

I think they should give you a slot.

2:04.5

I literally this morning I was I was watching Ben Collins be interviewed

2:11.8

and listening to him talk about how the process went of like,

2:16.9

okay, and then we got Tim Heidecker involved and all of like, okay, and then, you know,

2:17.6

and then we got Tim Heidecker involved and all this other stuff.

2:19.6

And I said, you know, I did spend a lot of, like, the jokes aren't as funny anymore.

2:24.6

Like, at some point, at some point I stopped because I just, they got too real.

2:29.9

But there was a time there where it was really fun to talk about cam trails and harp and all of

2:37.3

the insane conspiracy shit and and i was like i bet i could do a lot of really fucked up video

2:43.6

game coverage for info wars it breaks my heart that the world turned out the way it did over the

2:50.0

last 15 years because there was a sweet spot where making fun of that shit was so fun. It was so fun. And it turned out that our interest was like the canary and the coal mind of people who were going to become interested in a different way. Yeah. We knew there was something compelling there. We knew that the voice and the delivery and the idea of all. Getting drawn into these lunatics is great. Yeah, this is great. You know, oh, well. The lady, like, pointing at the sprinkler and seeing a rainbow and just going, that's not normal. Like, it's just like, this is great. I love this. Yeah. At least we have Connor O'Malley's pipe rock theory, which to me feels like the apotheosis, the grand finale of everything. So it's that. And then like for me on a personal level, it's the, the giant bomb game of the year sitcom stuff where there was like one day where we did

3:43.3

the like Patrick on wheelies and I am just like running into shots and going like chem trails

3:49.1

like that's like that to me is like the last time it was actually fun yeah yeah well now
