WEBVTT

1
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:17.039
I turned thirty two in three days. Wow, that's a big deal.

2
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.640
It's my golden birthday. I didn't
know that was a thing until like two

3
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:26.000
years ago. What's a golden birthday? Thank you? We've started. That's

4
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.760
the beginning of the episode. Let's
talk about birthday. I think people made

5
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:32.439
this up recently. Now. The
first bit. The joke is that you

6
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.600
can't have a golden birthday on your
thirty second birthday. So I got both

7
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.679
of you. Why what's the gimmick? What's a golden birthday? I to

8
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.280
the gmick, I guess I should
explain it. Your golden birthday is when

9
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.960
you turn the age that your birthday
falls on in the month. So mine

10
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.320
my birthday September twenty second. Mine
was when I turned twenty two. It's

11
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.600
dumb, I don't know, and
many people to take it seriously. But

12
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.359
the joke was that turning thirty two
will be my golden birthday. There's not

13
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.280
because there's no soda. I think
this is a just June. I'm sixteen,

14
00:01:03.599 --> 00:01:07.920
so when you turned you had that
wasn't the thing. No one talked

15
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:14.799
about this in two thousand, made
up a special birthday? This is people,

16
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.920
This is one of those birthday month
people things. Yeah, oh,

17
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.040
it's International Macaroni and Cheese Day,
it's internationals you know, Pizza pocket Day.

18
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:23.000
It's like, no, it's just
bullshit stuff. This is this is

19
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.959
made up for set. Sometimes people
see things as an opportunity to talk about

20
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.200
themselves in this like extra cur like
way. The idea of a golden birthday,

21
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:42.000
Yeah, this damn the fuck.
Christopher Columbus, Uh, this idea

22
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:47.920
have a golden birthday, just wanting
to have an extra special birthday. Christ

23
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.560
soups in his whole thing. God, let it go. God have your

24
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.040
birthday, and then settled down Jesus
President Halloween. Uh, yeah, no,

25
00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.879
I don't. I didn't really do
much twice twenty second birthday I was

26
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.159
in college. I wasn't like I
think my mom told me about it.

27
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.319
It was just something sweet, she
said, all of us when we had

28
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.280
it. But I don't think we
got like extra gifts or anything. I

29
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.479
feel really fine with there being like
six holidays. That's fine. We don't

30
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.080
need. We don't need more than
that. You don't. But I think

31
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:21.039
I thought when you said golden birthday, my instinct was that it meant that

32
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.719
it was a special day. Maybe
based on your parents, so it would

33
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:29.080
be the day, the age your
parents were when they had you. Just

34
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.400
like oh yeah, so like this
is a specific age where my parents gave

35
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.479
birth to me, but here I
am like live in my life. That

36
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.199
makes more senses, Like that's really
interesting, right my parents had me at

37
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.560
this age. But or like when
you go into your golden years where it's

38
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.639
like, oh I turned I'm turning
a you know, fifty five or sixty

39
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.240
or whatever you want to go.
I would also make sense because right like

40
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.719
a forty is known as like an
over the hill thing. You might have

41
00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:01.479
ghosts. Dan, you outside?
Are you not noticing it's you? What

42
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:08.280
are you talking about? It was
Dan? All right, this is you

43
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.039
clearly use some twitch effect. That
was horrifying. I hate that. What

44
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:23.360
did you creep? That would make
it? See the great scaring us?

45
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.240
That was horrifying. But you're wearing
what you're wearing now, this is creeping

46
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:34.520
me. I don't know where you're
talking. You're a fire. This is

47
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.439
not a good radio. But basically
what Mary and I just saw it was

48
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.120
Dan's got an out like a sliding
door behind and it leads outside, and

49
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.039
there was a person in the background
looking in with a large light that they

50
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.080
were flashing. However, it was
Dan wearing the outfit he's wearing now in

51
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:57.400
his chair doing it again. The
scariest shit I've ever seen in my life.

52
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:03.159
That's terrifying. I hate it so
much. I also hate that you're

53
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:10.960
so committed that you okay talking up
that it's for shoot or whatever. I

54
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.840
don't know what the phrases are.
I always assume Golden Birthday had something similar

55
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:20.639
to do with like golden anniversary,
just moving on. I've known him long

56
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.560
enough to not encourage him beyond a
certain point. That was trying to make

57
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.920
a podcast about video games that was
creepy crime. Now you people people do

58
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.319
like the paper and gold and silver
anniversaries, I always assum have had something

59
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.560
to do with that. Do either
of you do that? We did the

60
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:43.560
wood one was five right to the
woods every anniversary for me, Oh my

61
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.959
god, yeah, because first his
paper, I think second is what is

62
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.399
five? I think gold is fifty
five? Would my parents are coming up

63
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.519
on their fiftieth anniversary in like three
years? That's crazy, big deal.

64
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.240
Yeah, good for these good for
that. I don't understand the difference between

65
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.439
paper, wood and gold like,
is it based on value because paper is

66
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.800
cheap and what is more expensive and
gold is really expensive. Who makes these

67
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.120
hierarchies. Oh, it's just another
way to get people to buy things.

68
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:24.839
But you know silver is twenty fifth
I can't deal with him. Wait,

69
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.639
so wait when when you're just sitting
there, you're sliding door is green screened

70
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.720
to look like outside at night or
it just wasn't. It's weird, like

71
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.839
it's just the woods back there in
a pond. Yeah, you're so annoying.

72
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.519
I think that he doesn't even live
in the woods. He probably lives

73
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.240
in the middle of a desert and
he uses green screen to just pull Oh

74
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.879
my god, you piece of shit. He just puts up random images to

75
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:57.279
make himself feel like he's traveling.
It's an Eiffel Tower. Now, I

76
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.920
don't know whether there's a sliding door
there. It goes, it goes out

77
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:08.759
to nothing. We'll never know.
Oh this is entertaining. Yeah, I

78
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.439
don't know. I'm My paper anniversary
will be in a year. I'm sure

79
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.759
I'll do something with that. Get
a cool paper gift. It's supposed to

80
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.480
be a gift made out of paper. Yeah, fucking money is paper.

81
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:25.040
But just giving money to your significant
other is really weird to me. I'm

82
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.560
not actually going to do that for
the record of Okay, Okay, I

83
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:32.480
wonder if people do that. There's
a Cracker Barrel gift card. Good,

84
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:38.199
happy anniversary, honey. I know
that it's our Golden fifty. So I

85
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.839
got you five hundred dollars in Cracker
Barrel gift cards. Oh for the golden

86
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.439
you do the golden nugget gift card? Yeah, golden. Yeah. Here's

87
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:54.199
six boxes worth of olive garden breadsticks
for the anniversary for the dipping sauce though

88
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:59.519
for eating or sex stuff. Yeah, we're gonna eat as much as we

89
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.439
wanted Rby's and then we're doing it
twice. I'll do some some cool anniversary

90
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.160
stuff. I'm sure be fun.
Yeah, we do. We always do,

91
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.240
like a dinner for anniversary and then
yeah, for the fifth it was

92
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.240
the only time we did the like
the gimmick, the you know, the

93
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:20.399
wood thing. I didn't even know
that was an thin ye ruby diamond.

94
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.720
Wait, that might be the test
your might levels. I don't think there's

95
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:30.240
a mix up test your might and
anniversary. Okay, talking about like your

96
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:45.439
DODA levels. We're just talking about
prestige with my wife. That's like people,

97
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.000
I'd be willing to bet. Oh, certainly. Do you think it's

98
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.079
had a day's gone wedding? Do
you think what anyone's had a day's gone

99
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.319
wedding? Like remember a day's gone
when promise you're gonna fuck me like your

100
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.759
bike? Probably? Yeah, there's
that game has its fans. I'd say

101
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.360
it spoke to someone on that level, maybe one guy. Just freak show

102
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.560
weddings are really appealing to me because
it's your day. So I don't have

103
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.759
a problem with anyone making their wedding
about something very personal and very weird for

104
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:22.279
them. If you want to have
like a weirdo wedding where everybody's dressed as

105
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.680
a frog because you guys are really
into swampshit, like live your life,

106
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:30.399
that's fine. But it's so amazing
to me that people are so committed on

107
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.799
this very particular day that they want
everybody to do the thing their way,

108
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.360
and they get really intense. I
don't know, freak weddings are fun.

109
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.840
I wish I was invited to more
of them. Mike, you should have

110
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.000
had a weirder wedding. Okay,
Well, I didn't have a wedding yet,

111
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.879
so tradition is important. Traditions important. I don't think you make a

112
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.440
joke out of your You don't make
like a gimmick out of your wedding day.

113
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.279
You know, Yeah, I agree, unless it means a lot to

114
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.600
both of you or whatever. But
it's gonna be really funny. Mary,

115
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.519
speaking of freak weddings. When you
look at the seating chart and it's just

116
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.440
like table twelve, Mary Kish,
and then it's just like knife and then

117
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:15.399
knife and then knife for the ceremony
time in the pendulum situation above this table

118
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:20.039
and only this table saw twelve.
It's just a grenade launcher, like nine

119
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.360
grenade launchers pointed at you. And
then you have nine glasses of wine in

120
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.039
front of you, and only or
ten glass of wine. Only one of

121
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.919
them won't pull a string connected to
a grenade launcher trigger, and that will

122
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:35.000
blow you up a little roulette for
the wedding chosen fun And then if you

123
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.360
do get the one that doesn't blow
up, I'm gonna come over with my

124
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:48.360
own grenade launcher. Blake Pike cheers. Everyone cheers. It's pretty good wedding.

125
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:54.840
I feel like it would be memorable
for sure, I think like I

126
00:09:54.879 --> 00:10:00.320
would rather have a weird wedding that
a wedding that's so traditional and boring that

127
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:05.360
no one would remember it. Like
Dan, your wedding face off on the

128
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.840
wall. Yeah, it also got
married at Taco Bell several months before that.

129
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.679
Yeah, we had a two fur
of weird weddings. The second one

130
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.559
was pretty traditional, I would say, with outside of the face off thing.

131
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.799
Yeah, it had a face off
being on the wall. Yeah it

132
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.559
was, but no, it's that
the Taco Bell thing. I mean,

133
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.879
look, we both knew what it
was going in. The other option was

134
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:26.039
you know, she was talking about
doing it at a courthouse or something.

135
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.159
It's like, let's see, if
we were gonna do a courthouse thing,

136
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.840
let's you know, go for something
weird. And it's a thing that every

137
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.440
time people like, if people aren't
into games or wrestling or the typical things

138
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.600
that we talk about and are into, that's always the things. Oh there's

139
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.279
a Taco Bell couple, there's a
Taco bellt wedding couples. Good icebreaker.

140
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.639
Yeah, yeah, comes up a
lot. It's a good fun fact.

141
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.120
But I also think it's just something
that is interesting and I've been to a

142
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:56.840
lot of boring weddings sometimes, in
my opinion is like mine alone is it's

143
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.039
tradition is so boring. We have
these expect patients that you have to do

144
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.120
things the way you do them.
I think it's fun to shake it up

145
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.879
and say, we're not going to
do any of that stuff. We're having

146
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.080
brunch and we're you'll be home by
three pm. Like whatever. I'm gonna

147
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.039
get married on an airplane. Yeah, Mile High Club. Everybody's in,

148
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.960
get in their grandma, like,
you know, let's let's see what happens

149
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.559
wedding in the pool. You're gonna
consecrate the marriage right in front of all

150
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:30.080
of you. Would you join the
bride and groom of the dance floor for

151
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:37.399
the orgy? That'd be sick.
I'm gonna resend my ordination certificate. This

152
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.799
is the type of wedding I'm walking
into. Oh no, not at ours.

153
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.080
I just like I'm saying, go
to a wedding after. I hope

154
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.159
that's what they do. I hope
that there's an orgy at the wedding.

155
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.320
No it's not, Mike, No, it's not the orgy at the wedding.

156
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.600
It is an orgy wedding. It's
the same what is the thing when

157
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.399
I'm officiating your wedding, Mike that
if I said, it wouldn't raise any

158
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.320
flags in like the crowd, like
nobody would think. It's not I'm you

159
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.279
know, farting or anything crazy,
but like that something I could say that

160
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.799
would cause you to break. Yeah, yeah, an Amanda or just me,

161
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.879
just you like something only you would
know there anything that like I could

162
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.320
slip in there, just try to
make you break your most important day.

163
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.039
I love that you're asking me to
tell you I wanted to be special.

164
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.240
Yeah, not that I know of
Off the bat, I think i'd be

165
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.480
in a pretty serene mood. I'd
like to think, I think so.

166
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.399
Yeah, I think I'm very excited. A lot of people say that.

167
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.600
I don't know. I'm not nervous
in any way. I'm more excited.

168
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.440
I'm very excited and it's gonna be
fun. But I don't we have some

169
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.879
inside jokes, but not like inside
jokes don't really make me laugh that hard,

170
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.519
like there was incident, but I
don't. Probably just default to farting.

171
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.679
That's fine. That would make me
would I would laugh quite hard,

172
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.120
and then I'd bring the mic down
to my aims. I just sombrely remove

173
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.159
my pants and fart into the micro
and now a word from our sponsor.

174
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:09.519
I would beat, I would laugh
for a bit, and then I'd be

175
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.279
pissed later on. Man, it
would be upset, right, I think

176
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.039
so? Yeah, yeah, I
mean I think understandably. I think your

177
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:22.360
parents would not enjoy it. Oh
No, there's like a ninety percent chance

178
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.279
I don't do that, so don't
worry about it. Ninety percent chance you

179
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.240
don't. I don't fart, okay, I would No, No, actually,

180
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.799
I take it. There's a good
chance you make a good chance that

181
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.320
you fart. It's just a matter
of whether or not you put your mic

182
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.960
down. You know, I'm going
to be an adult about it. I'm

183
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:37.159
not gonna like, you know,
oh hey, look at my part,

184
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.320
Like, I'm just gonna do it
and move on with the speech. I

185
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:46.840
thought it was gonna be silent anyway, do you or don't you. I'm

186
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.279
at the age where it's like I'm
starting to get less confident with parts like

187
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.240
holding them in. No, like, you know, I used to be

188
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:58.679
really, really liberal, which is
letting him loose. Yeah and some yea

189
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.559
for the record, For the record, it wasn't like a catastrophe that made

190
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.320
me reconsider this. Nothing has happened
yet, but there's been enough where I

191
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.840
was like, I should excuse myself
and check something real quick. And I've

192
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.279
been like oooh okay, but it's
been enough to rattle me. The way

193
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:16.480
you just talked about a potential disaster
in the future is like how people talk

194
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.440
about quitting drinking. They're like,
or got hit rock bottom? Like yeah,

195
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.000
no, it's like no. A
lot of people are like no,

196
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.480
I didn't. Nothing like crazy happened
that got me to stop doing this drug.

197
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.600
I just knew that if I kept
going down this road with you or

198
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.399
had you have the wherewithal to stop
farting while you can before it it takes

199
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:39.320
over. Yeah yeah, I think
that's a normal thing with age for whenever

200
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:46.600
it takes So, yeah, dukie. At wedding is what is your rock

201
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:56.960
bottom? Please look into your bride's
eyes. Keep looking. Don't do not

202
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.600
look over here. You look at
each other there, don't look away.

203
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.600
It pops him up a little bit, like off the ground really quick.

204
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:11.399
It just sends me into the harbor. That would that would be uh,

205
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:13.639
that'd be rough. I don't think
i'd like that. I mean I mean

206
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.519
it'd be really I'd laugh really hard
at first, but then it would like

207
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.679
reality with Dawn on me. You
show me at times, I'll be I'll

208
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.200
put on the big boy pants for
that, all right, sick. Yeah,

209
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:28.120
is that just like a nice word
for diaper? Yes, my custom

210
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.000
made suit hasn't installed a fark couch. It nullifies noise and absorbs gases later.

211
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.960
Diaperson theory sound nice, but I
just think in practice it would be

212
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.240
just a terrible Like I don't remember
what diapers felt like, but the convenience

213
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.519
factor I don't think would override the
gross factor with a diaper, like if

214
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.440
we wore them now, well,
I mean you might need him in like

215
00:15:50.720 --> 00:16:00.399
fifty years. Yeah, nobody gets, honestly the most attractive the fast of

216
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:06.120
being elderly that I'm looking forward shitting
your pants whenever I want, Yeah,

217
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.120
wherever I am. That's the thing, though, It's not when you want.

218
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.159
It's the fact that you don't no
longer get to decide. We're assuming

219
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:18.080
you're assuming I'm waiting until it's medically
necessary. I'm saying I'm going to start

220
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.960
wearing diapers when I'm sort of old, like I'm gonna be sixty and be

221
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:32.120
like I'm I'm rocking diapers New York
Times or in New York New Year's Eve

222
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.360
at Times Square. Oh my god. Speaking of concerts and getting old,

223
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.240
I went to a concert on Sunday
as Queen's the stone Age, and like,

224
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.000
you guys, don't me. I
don't know a ton about like modern

225
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.320
music or anything. I grew up
listening to stuff like bands that were dead

226
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.639
before I was born. It's a
lot of Zaplin Stones, Beetles, blah

227
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:49.600
blah blah. But anyway, Queen's
the stone Age are like my favorite band,

228
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.240
and they're like the one band that
like I always thought like, oh

229
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.240
see, I'm not just old man
music. I like this hip, young

230
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.320
modern band, Queens of the Stone
Age, And I like, well,

231
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.480
that's the thing. I went to
the concert on Sunday. I'm looking around

232
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:03.640
them, like, man, there's
a lot of people like in their forties

233
00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.839
here, like, yeah, probably
in his fifties. Yeah, man,

234
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.440
I guess a bunch of older people
got into Queens of the stone Age all

235
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.240
of a sudden. Then I was
like, oh no, I see what's

236
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:17.240
happening here. Yeah, you are
old now. I went to I also

237
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.440
went to a concert this week I
went to a Modest Mouse concert and the

238
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:26.319
same thing. Everybody who was there
was older, probably like our age ish,

239
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.279
and there were babies, and I
was like, why are these babies

240
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.559
at a concert? Who brings a
baby to like literal babies? Yes,

241
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:41.599
And they realize it's parents bringing their
babies so they can go see Modest Mouse

242
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.200
because they're our age and where everybody's
having babies. Now let's put our feet

243
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.200
down, like people shouldn't bring baby. First of all, I don't think

244
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.519
the babies should be at movies ever, but concerts are ridiculed anywhere really the

245
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.279
sixteen and then they can drive and
let them do whatever. They put on

246
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.119
their little earphones on them so that
they don't hear you're anything, which I

247
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.880
think defeats the purpose. But I
think the point is as they need to

248
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.279
think, it's because they're like ears, would be more sensitive and liable to

249
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.240
people. You're doing nothing for the
baby. The baby's not going to remember

250
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.599
anything. You're only causing the people
around you to deal with it crying or

251
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.839
shitting its pants or smelling or something
like that. Is ah that I am

252
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.720
firmly against taking babies too. Then
you should be firmly against taking Mike because

253
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.319
that dude's gonna shitting his pants and
like the next five years anytime he wants.

254
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.880
But he might usually looking for babies
everywhere we go. I went to

255
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.279
the zoo recently and their baby's there
too, and it's like, okay,

256
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.519
I no, I don't get it. I was about to say, I

257
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.400
get it, but I don't want
The zoo is one thousand percent different than

258
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:42.519
a constant. You are fucking in
a stroller. You are under two years

259
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.680
old. If you're under four years
old, you're not going to know shit

260
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.880
of what you're looking at. You
don't know what a monkey is. You're

261
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.000
gonna look at that forget everything,
shit your pants. Kids they're friends showing

262
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.960
a book, show them a book, like they're not gonna is doing nothing

263
00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:57.559
for anyone they want. I'm walking
around trying to enjoy the monkeys, and

264
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:02.640
there's fucking kids everywhere. The zoos
are made for kids. There were a

265
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.000
lot of kids there, and I
was the zoo. Of course, there

266
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:10.480
are a lot of kids. Gift
shop. Like I just I think,

267
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.960
like, if you're five, sure
that's fine. If five, world might

268
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.880
be like, oh look it's the
elephant and remember it and stuff. But

269
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.759
anything under four, I think it
is just like just keep them out of

270
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:26.759
polite society. But Jem's already smell
anti children they're just four or five,

271
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.960
they're not allowed to leave the house
because they're still incubating. They're not people,

272
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.039
and like Win Win are people people. Like at five, they get

273
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.759
two, they get consciousness. It's
the consciousness though, it's like the part

274
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:45.559
where like you're like you're a toddler
and you're like, uh, chewing something

275
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.240
with your friends, and all of
a sudden you're like, oh my god,

276
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:51.559
I knew who I am. Oh
my god. Suddenly, oh my

277
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:56.640
god, I'm I'm a boy.
And that's not how it happens. They

278
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:03.079
find out very young, but I
don't I bet it can't happen before too,

279
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.799
Like there's no way that you have
enough sense to understand. I don't

280
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.359
remember anything until like playing Mario one
at four or five years old. That's

281
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.559
my first memory. But your personality
started before you're you're what you can remember,

282
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.400
probably, but it's not doing anything
for anyone. There are some I

283
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.119
have, like some pretty cool nieces
and nephews that when they were two are

284
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:25.440
really funny, and that's I didn't
have to take I didn't have to change

285
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:26.920
their pants, and I wasn't taking
them to concerts. I just like that

286
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:34.440
you're contributing to zook society. Like
he probably was just observing and then crying.

287
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:37.279
Right, Like, I've got nephews
and they're they're really cute, and

288
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.519
they do You're right, they do
have personalities, like one of them loves

289
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.039
balloons, the other one loves race
cars, and it's really it's a whole

290
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.400
personality. Balloon guy. Yeah,
oh yeah, that's the whole deal on

291
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.720
the Internet today, the things they
decide to like and then make their entire

292
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:59.279
personality the things they like. I'm
into balloons. Fucking love balloons. Watch

293
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.480
out if you blow one up,
I will be there. I'm gonna be

294
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:07.400
there, and I'm gonna be weird
about it. Even if they're cute and

295
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.279
at personalities and stuff like that,
is like, even when it's family,

296
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.720
it's like there's like ten minutes of
like, oh, that's cutey, he's

297
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.799
hitting that balloon, and then it's
just kind of like all right, then

298
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.799
they're crying, and then it's just
a whole hast Like I don't think even

299
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:25.640
a cool three year old should be
at the zoo. I'd say they're fine

300
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:30.359
at the zoo. The problem is
it's the tool factor. You there's absolutely

301
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.680
so you know, like when there's
a roller coaster, it's really easy to

302
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.480
be like, sorry, Timmy,
you're not tall enough. But there's no

303
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.920
cool detector that lets us know that
the kid is actually gonna say something funny

304
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:47.200
about those monkeys. I think a
zero tolerance policy on crying or whining.

305
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.599
I think the second a kid's like
lift me up or whatever, it's like,

306
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.920
all right, get the fuck out
of here. Like I think maybe

307
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:55.759
maybe let them in if they're just
gonna walk around and be like, oh

308
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:57.000
wow, look at that monkey.
But the second they're freaking out, you

309
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:02.440
get the fuck out of the park. M I think the zoo is good

310
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.799
for a lot of parents because if
people are having a problem the kid,

311
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.839
they can there's a lot of space
to work with the bring them to or

312
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.440
you could potentially go somewhere else for
a bit and if your kid really sucks,

313
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:14.799
you could drop them in the lions
Den and just be like, oh

314
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.240
sorry, that is true. That
is I think that's legal. Actually,

315
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:22.000
yeah, good drop off location.
But yeah, like Mike said of a

316
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:27.720
concerts. It's not like we're going
anywhere. But again, we've talked about

317
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:33.119
this. It sucks. Huh.
No, they should make like kids only

318
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.720
planes that dull deal for sure.
But no. But like the person that

319
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.279
is getting the brunt of the kid
crying in the plane is their parent.

320
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.440
That's what I remind myself. So
I'm like, all right, but their

321
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.599
problem, it should not be my
problem. Like they chose to have a

322
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.359
kid, I should not be brother
for that. We don't know that they

323
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:55.119
chose to have a kid, right, Okay, well they had a kid.

324
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:57.480
Yeah, but they if you have
to fly somewhere, maybe they're going

325
00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:00.920
to a funeral for one of their
parents. Well then then mom and dad

326
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.799
get on one flight and then send
the kid on Delta Junior or whatever.

327
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:12.759
You should have paid for first class
over overhead storage check a baby. That'd

328
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.240
be awesome. There's like a playpen
down on the bottom, in the bottom

329
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.640
of the plane, yeah, across
from like the dogs and stuff. Yeah,

330
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:21.680
or they could, as everybody knows, there's a secret hatch that lets

331
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.640
you travel freely throughout an aircraft,
as Passenger fifty seven taught us or air

332
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:30.519
Force one or Excisions or Executive decisions. Yeah, babies need to babies need

333
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:34.680
to learn the ins and outs of
cool movies. Yes, kids watch Executive

334
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:41.279
Decision. That's you know what movie
I rewatched recently, And I'm not saying

335
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:44.720
it's age completely well, but it's
still fucking sick. It's clear and present

336
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:47.200
danger. Well air Force one,
yes, but clear in present danger.

337
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:52.079
I could never do those like they
always the trailers always looked really interesting.

338
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.039
Anytime you just show me like a
rocket launcher and a trailer as a kid,

339
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:56.359
and I'm like, I'm there,
and I went there thinking it was

340
00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:59.640
gonna be like Michael Bay or The
Rock or something, But there was always

341
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:02.519
this political stuff that I was just
like, yeah, there is a lot

342
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:06.240
of talking in between the rocket launchers. Yeah it's Tom Clancy. I mean,

343
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:11.279
that's it's. The books he wrote
were despite the Ubisoft identity he's gotten

344
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.640
since he died or since before he
died, his books were always had the

345
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.160
political like half of them, if
if half were the actual like special ops

346
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.920
stuff. But then towards the end
of that movie, it's just Harrison Ford

347
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.279
shooting a bunch of dudes at a
drug factory because he found out that this

348
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.480
one dude was pretending to be another
guy's advisor, but he was actually pitting

349
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.319
all the cartels against each other.
And then Harrison Ford had to go help

350
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:38.480
will him Dafoe get all the Secret
Rainbow six guys back because most of them

351
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:42.480
got massacred in this river. And
then at the end, Harrison Ford learns

352
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:45.960
that the President was the one who
signed off on all of it, and

353
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.440
the President's like, you're not gonna
tell on me because that'd be stupid.

354
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.720
You're climbing the political ladder. That's
political capital. He's like, it's the

355
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.279
old Potomac two step. And then
Harrison Ford stops in the doorway, turns

356
00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:59.519
around. He's like, I'm sorry, mister President, I don't dance,

357
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.039
and then he leaves the Oval office
like that's the coolest my life. It's

358
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:08.160
pretty cool. But yeah, Patriot
Games. That's also Jack Ryan before John

359
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:15.759
Krasinski some of all Peers Hunt for
the Red October. I was just watching,

360
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:19.960
uh, is it Jack Ryan whatever
show the same character, but it's

361
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:25.759
John Krasinski. I'm watching that show
right now, and I did it unprompted.

362
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.480
I just wanted something like Brainless to
watch on a Saturday night, and

363
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.079
I watched like eight episodes of Jack
Ryan. He's the cool character, becomes

364
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:41.519
president at one point. What's a
spoiler? I didn't know that version.

365
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.720
Sorry, it's this. It's like
I'm trying to think of another character Bond

366
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:52.000
where it's like there's different Jack Ian
Fleming. Ian Fleming created James Bond.

367
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.119
However, they have rebooted James Bond
twelve times. Tom Clancy created Jack Ryan,

368
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.759
but they've rebooted him twice, maybe
three times. But yeah, Hunt

369
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.839
for the October and then Patriot Games
and then Clear and Present Danger were a

370
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.880
trilogy. In the Jack Ryan I'm
watching, he's an analyst, and then

371
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.039
they're like you should really be on
the field, and he's like, I

372
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:12.640
don't want to be on the field, but they're making me. And then

373
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:17.279
he almost gets killed, but he
kills the bad guys instead, and then

374
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:19.720
everyone's like, you are the best
Jack Ryan. Now you're in it,

375
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.079
and now he has to like travel
to all these destinations and try and stop

376
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.920
I don't know, terror terrorists.
Yes, Homeland, I'll watch a couple

377
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:32.480
of seasons at Homeland. That was
all right, Okay. I feel like

378
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.440
none of these things are truly appealing
to me, and a lot of them

379
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:41.279
have just really obvious through lines where
there'll be one girl in the entire episode

380
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.720
and it's just like, oh,
this is going to be your love interest.

381
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:49.880
Like most of the time in these
types of series, if you're like

382
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:53.359
a girl in it, it's like, well, we're gonna flirt because there's

383
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:56.559
nothing. There's no other reason for
me to be here. There's no other

384
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:03.400
purpose for my character. Twenty four
Have you ever seen twenty four? The

385
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.720
first season spoilers for twenty four,
there's like three female characters. One of

386
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.960
them is Alicia Cuthbert, who just
gets kidnapped and makes every bad decision ever.

387
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:17.279
The other one is Jack Bower's pregnant
wife who gets murdered. And the

388
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:21.000
third one is Nina Myers, who
is the turncoat working for the terrorists who

389
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:26.799
murders his wife. Son of a
bitch. Yeah, that's actually, that's

390
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.160
good. Those are good dynamics.
Actually, I like the idea of like,

391
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:36.200
my pregnant wife is dead and I
killed her. She said, you

392
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:38.400
call these twists and turns and everybody's
a woman. I'm into it. He

393
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:42.039
kills season three. It's fine.
I feel like the John Wicks, We're

394
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:45.119
just watching all of those very sexist
shows, and we're like, what if

395
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.839
we replaced the pregnant woman with a
dog, and that's what sets him off

396
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.599
and goes on they killing John Wick. Yeah, yeah, it's not sexist

397
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.640
if it's a dock. Yeah,
the whole new truck. Yeah different,

398
00:27:56.640 --> 00:28:02.200
A new trope is the old kill
the dog, so that everybody's upset.

399
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:06.759
U is and I think that's universal. We can all agree that if you

400
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:11.079
kill the dog, that will will
fucking come for your head. It is

401
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:14.519
amazing looking back at old movies,
movies that I love from back then that

402
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:17.359
like, and seeing it through different
lens where it's like The Rock I fucking

403
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:21.160
love The Rocks so much. I
can think of one female character in that

404
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:23.720
entire movie, and it's just Nicolas
Gage's Beyonce that he has sex with on

405
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:27.440
a rooftop. And that's pretty much
our only scenes from Queen. Oh yeah,

406
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:37.440
Queen the Golden Years. Diehard has
just his x or separated wife,

407
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:44.680
right yeah. Face Off has his
real wife and then his face swap girlfriend

408
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:47.519
Ji and Gershwan. No, did
you see what John Wu said the other

409
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:49.640
day? What he's like, That's
the whole thing about Face Off. It

410
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:52.279
could have all been women. You
don't know, it's just guys. Now

411
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.720
we see the guys get their faces
taken off. There's a scene if their

412
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.720
faces getting sought off. You don't
know that they weren't women before the movie

413
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.680
started. Okay, makes sense.
No, I don't know what he was

414
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:11.359
talking about. They very much showed
the operation. John Woo didn't say that.

415
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.839
That is something you would say.
You can't just make up quotes for

416
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:21.079
famous people. Somebody would have brought
that to my attention by now if he

417
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.640
said, did you see I continued
the curse of us killing people on the

418
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:26.880
show and naming people? Was it? It was a football guy, right,

419
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:33.599
Aaron Rodgers, like fucking torres Achilles
Tenant four plays into the show or

420
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:38.279
the games. Yeah he's fine.
I mean he's not fine, but he's

421
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:45.680
not dead. So don't say the
names of anyone as three have you said

422
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:51.640
any celebrity names, we'll shit John
wu Fuck, he's old. We got

423
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.480
talking about old people. It's like
a chain reaction. I saw two.

424
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:02.240
Some people in our emails were calling
it the Maharty curse. It's like the

425
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:07.720
new Madden curse. Marty's just killing
people die. It doesn't even matter if

426
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.920
it's you. If Dan does it, they die. But it's because you

427
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:14.039
were in the vicinity, because your
curs. It's the Maharty curve. Dan

428
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:18.039
mentioned the King of England and the
party's falled. Hey if you want,

429
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:19.880
hey, people, ven mom me
five hundred bucks for me to mention your

430
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:22.920
enemies on the show, and no
problem. We'll see how it goes.

431
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:29.880
It's like death note, but it's
this weirdo comes to your house. That

432
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.480
should be our new Patreon tier.
I'm just saying their name and then these

433
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.680
people die. Introduced a fifteen dollar
Patreon tier that's just naming. You can

434
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:44.960
name one enemy a week. We
will try to kill your enemies. I

435
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:47.359
am willing to bet, and we're
not going to do it. But if

436
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:49.519
I did, if we did announce
a new Patreon tier that Mike curses your

437
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:52.599
enemies and it's just a list of
people's names. I read at the end

438
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:57.839
of the episode over with music,
we would get takers? Would we got

439
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:02.119
can we get? Is that illegal
what we'd be doing if we did that?

440
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:03.200
If we did that, would that
be illegal? They can't prove it's

441
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.480
any correlation between the names and the
deaths. No, we're just reading names.

442
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.680
Yeah, so, I mean,
nothing's stopping us from making money off

443
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:15.680
possibly killing people potential debts. But
if they do die, we could end

444
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:19.480
up being witnesses in the murder trial
because they'll be like, did you read

445
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:22.839
this name to do harm to this
person? We'll be like, yeah,

446
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.519
we did accept that fifteen dollars.
Yeah, And they'll play clips from the

447
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.000
podcast like in the court and everything. But that might get people to sign

448
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:34.200
up for the video version. Now, Michael Hardy, you are under oath.

449
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:40.799
Did you or did you not say
that you would poop into a diaper

450
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:52.880
at the earliest chance. You can
not subject Foghorn Leghorns the crosses anders like,

451
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:55.599
sir, that's clearly not his accent. I don't know what he's doing.

452
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:02.960
This is a sham. Hop Focorn
Leghorn doesn't die now. If Harrison

453
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.200
Ford dies before this episode airs,
I'm never saying another name on the show

454
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:12.079
again. I will hold you in
contempt if you kill Harrison Ford for no

455
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.799
reason. I'm not worried about him. He survived like four plane crashes.

456
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:22.039
He'll be fine for a while.
Aaron Rodgers, though, I'm whatever his

457
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:30.000
achilles tendon, I found his weak
spot whatever. Last thing. I'll say.

458
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:35.359
I also watched did we talk about
me finally watching Pig? No?

459
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.000
Watch? What do you think?
I told Jake I liked it a lot.

460
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:43.519
It was not at all what I
expected, exactly right. You thought

461
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:45.319
it was gonna be like a John
Wick thing. I thought it was gonna

462
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.519
be John Wick. And then the
spoilers potentially here, folks. I also

463
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.839
very much get why you all said
I, of all people, would like

464
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.160
it for the dinner scene at the
end, just the whole thing. The

465
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:58.839
whole not just the dinner scene at
the end, the scene where he's talking

466
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:00.359
to that chef, that the chef, yeah, yeah, yeah, what

467
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:01.799
was the whole deal? It was
just like, oh, you know,

468
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:05.559
you used to have all this promise
and now you're at this Like what was

469
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:07.759
he He's really making the guy I
feel like a piece of ship. He

470
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:10.640
said he wanted his dream was to
like he kept telling him when he didn't

471
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.000
think. Nicholas Cage, who was
formerly famous chef, remembered him when he

472
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.319
worked in his kitchen and he's like, I remember you. You said your

473
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.559
dream was to open up an authentic
pub and have fish and chips and burgers

474
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.319
and dark and light beer. What
happened to that. He's like, I'm

475
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:29.559
famous. I'm getting written up in
every newspaper. He's like, you became

476
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:31.960
a chef for them. I'm asking
why you stopped doing it for yourself,

477
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:35.720
and I was, yeah, it
was incredible. He's like, it's like

478
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:38.359
an all timer Nicholas Cage performance.
Honestly, like he's been good and everything

479
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:42.359
he's been in it, but this
is, yeah, this role specifically is

480
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.880
so good for him. Yeah,
it was awesome. I liked it a

481
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:46.359
lot. It's also like just pretty
concise. It was only like an hour

482
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:52.039
forty I think tops time to work
in a weird waiter fight club. Yeah,

483
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.960
I mean I think I get the
general gist of it. I took

484
00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:00.799
it as he signed, like,
I mean, yeah, in general,

485
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:04.359
it's a like service industry fight club. But he himself put his name up

486
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.400
on the wall so they would know
who he is. And then I think

487
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.599
it was him his way of like
letting people he abused in the past in

488
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:14.519
the kitchens like beat the shit out
of him. Oh interesting, Okay,

489
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:15.800
because like the dude who put them
on, like a bunch of people put

490
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:19.039
money down to fight him. But
then the dude who went up to hit

491
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:22.639
him like clearly looked like he remembered
him and was pissed. Oh okay,

492
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:24.480
that was my reading. I could
be way off because that part was odd,

493
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:29.880
but half the movie was. The
service industry is kind of known that

494
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:32.639
the person in charge is usually yelling
at people and a bit of a dick,

495
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:37.480
So that seems reasonable, Like,
that's a good guess. It seems

496
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.000
reasonable that that's what happened in the
movie. You're not saying it seems reasonable

497
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:44.039
that they abuse people in the kitchen. I mean, maybe just getting ahead

498
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:46.960
of that. People like to misinterpret
us. I don't think there is a

499
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:51.360
single maybe there's something like the service
industry. As far as a job that

500
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.239
so many people go into, I
can't imagine a world I would be worse

501
00:34:54.320 --> 00:35:00.480
at, like bartending service, Like
I just stress, the NonStop stress,

502
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.159
and you know, the carrying of
stuff, and like I would just be

503
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:06.960
like, I'm clumsy, I'm stubbing
my toe on everything. I can't carry

504
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.039
shit, Like I would be so
overwhelmed. Every time I've been to the

505
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:12.400
bar and there's that time where it's
like, you know, there's twenty people

506
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:15.360
leaning over the bar holding out money
or something like the guy ask to keep

507
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:16.480
track of who got their win and
everything, and people are yelling at him

508
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:20.079
like, you could pay me five
hundred thousan dollars a year and I wouldn't

509
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:22.039
do it. I just couldn't do
it like I have. And that's I

510
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:23.440
have respect. My mom was a
waitress the whole time I was growing up.

511
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:27.039
I have nothing with respect for people
who can do it. I would

512
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:30.119
suck so fucking bad at it.
I sometimes still miss it as much like

513
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:32.760
when I was working as like a
server. I don't want to go back

514
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:39.440
to like being a server in like
where I was, but I talk sometimes

515
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:43.159
I miss it. I can see
myself sometimes going back to do certain jobs.

516
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:45.760
But yeah, as hard as fuck. Yeah, and they get they

517
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:50.199
often get like the shit end of
like the bad day that the customers are

518
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:53.760
having. Yes, I think it's
the people management that was really tough.

519
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:59.719
I actually like And there's lots of
video games that replicate the service industry,

520
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.800
right, so Diner Dash and the
like. It's fun to be like,

521
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:09.880
Okay, two orders of spaghetti marbles, two vodka cooks, one kid's meal,

522
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:14.360
chicken fingers, and you're putting all
these things in your brain and putting

523
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:17.480
them down that is fun. Actually
enjoyed min maxing it and being like,

524
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:20.920
if I go into the kitchen,
we had a rule, full hands in,

525
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.199
full hands out. You should never
go into the kitchen empty handed.

526
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:27.559
You should be bringing in dishes from
some are you going to bring in the

527
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.800
dirty dishes to the back? Always
right, full hands in, full hands

528
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:35.239
out, and then full hands out
right like who's whose appetizer are you bringing

529
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:37.880
out? Like are you getting someone's
drink order? How are you helping?

530
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:42.760
Essentially, it's fun to me.
There's a bit of Dan Darian it Dan

531
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:46.960
where you're essentially yes, it's it's
a it's a lot about maximizing, and

532
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:52.480
that does increase your profits because if
you're really smart and you're able to get

533
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:55.199
people to order more and you're able
to turn tables quickly, you should be

534
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:59.719
making more money than the other waiter
waitresses. So I think that part is

535
00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:04.880
cool. The part that really sucks
is, like Mike said, when you

536
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.960
get someone who's having a bad day
and they just want to take it out

537
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:12.480
on you. And that's the stuff
that I will never miss and I would

538
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:15.960
go back to it for that reason, which is like talking to someone and

539
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:20.000
having them say something nasty to you. I remember, like when I worked

540
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:25.519
at Texas Roadhouse having a guy be
like, I want my vegetables cooked on

541
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:29.000
a skillet. How do you cook
your vegetables? And I was like,

542
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:32.800
well, truthfully, we microwave them
and a little plastic baggy. And he

543
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:37.119
was like, take them out of
the baggy, kind of like set it

544
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:39.679
demeaning, you know, take them
out of the baggie and put them on

545
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:44.079
a skillet and have them pan fry
my vegetables. And I was like,

546
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:49.519
okay, okay. He clearly doesn't
understand that those vegetables in the steam bag

547
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:52.400
are not just going to be go
okay, that's a whole other thing.

548
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:54.719
It's just they're not going to be
like magically cooked well in a skillet.

549
00:37:54.719 --> 00:38:00.480
They've been freeze fried for like or
freeze flash for They're not just going to

550
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.960
go into a skillet well in transition. No, I mean, he's a

551
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:08.599
dick. I'm just saying he's also
stupid. There's nothing that will make me

552
00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:13.239
judge a person faster than like,
you know, let's say you're you're having

553
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:14.880
a dinner or something, and you
know, I got a couple of friends,

554
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:15.679
but they brought a couple of friends, or it's like an industry thing

555
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:20.199
and people you don't know as well. If you see them being shitty to

556
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:22.440
service like you know, people like
a waiter or a bartender or anything like

557
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.639
that, I instantly like, I
don't know if there's coming back from that.

558
00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:29.679
You know, if someone's just being
an asshole to like a service person,

559
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:32.199
it's just like, dude, they
are busting their ass or very little

560
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:37.840
pay, there's no even if you
thought your ship was so terrible or whatever,

561
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.559
just you know, pay the bill, give him to get out of

562
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:44.440
there, like sure, maybe don't
go crazy with the tip or something like

563
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:45.679
that, but don't be an asshole
to that, like right, or don't

564
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:51.039
go back, you know, like
your location next time, you don't return

565
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:53.880
if you're unhappy. But yeah,
I'm the same way. It's like such

566
00:38:53.880 --> 00:39:00.880
a sign of pure evil. When
someone treats a service industry worker poorly,

567
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:06.360
it's the same. It's the same
thing universally. I feel. If you

568
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.440
see someone kick a dog or hurt
an animal, you're like, this person's

569
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:12.360
a piece of shit. If you
see someone talk down to a service industry

570
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:16.039
worker, it's like we lost persons. A miserable fuck there's no amount of

571
00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:20.960
bad day that justifies that. I
don't think it's why they say people should

572
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:24.159
at some point work in some aspect
of the service industry. Not that you

573
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:30.320
need to do that to get the
basic human empathy of not treating them like

574
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.840
shit. But I'm glad I worked
in the service industry. I'll tell you.

575
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:37.960
Picking up those peanuts at Texas Roadhouse
makes me not want to throw peanuts

576
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:43.719
on the fucking floor anymore. You
pick up enough nasty, spitty peanuts,

577
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:46.760
I'm telling you you want to think
that well about But it's that kind of

578
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:52.679
stuff will change you. Working in
sanitary department will be like, stop throwing

579
00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:58.119
fucking trash on the ground. Humans
pick that up. It's not it's uncool

580
00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:01.360
what you're doing. I think working
the job, we'll give you appreciation for

581
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:04.719
it. I think I've said this
before, but a long time ago,

582
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:09.440
I worked at Hollister night shift,
which is not the same as the cool

583
00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:14.679
people who are there during the day
shift spraying perfume. The night shift are

584
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:20.159
the people that fold the clothes perfectly
from midnight to six am, so that

585
00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:23.000
when the store opens at eight am, the store looks brand new. Every

586
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:27.840
shirt is perfectly folded. They're board
folded, so you're folding them like on

587
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.559
a pet, like a board,
and then you remove the boards so they

588
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:34.400
have this perfect lines. And then
every morning a bunch of kids would come

589
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.400
in and they'll take all the shirts
and throw them everywhere looking for their size.

590
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:42.320
And that was hours and hours and
hours of work. And so I

591
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:45.320
actually am very weird when I'm shopping. I'm always like, how do I

592
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:50.280
not disrupt the clothes and find my
size? Because it's a lot of work

593
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:52.320
to deal with that ship and it's
annoying when someone just throws all the crap

594
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.679
on the ground. Jesus. Ever, when I as a kid, my

595
00:40:55.960 --> 00:41:00.679
dad and grandpa ran the grocery store
and they were stick There's like a big

596
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:02.559
spool of stickers and here's one that
says twenty five cents. This one says

597
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:06.800
a dollar. Yeah, And they
were closing out and doing the numbers for

598
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:07.519
the end of the day and all
that stuff, and I'm just being a

599
00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:10.079
little shit aed six or seven year
old. I'm running around and I took

600
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:15.039
a twenty five cent role and I
just put it on like hopefull turkeys and

601
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:20.320
fucking every can boxes a cereal twenty
five cents and they planned in the driveway.

602
00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:22.559
Yes, I can't remember my dad
or my grandpa, but one of

603
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.800
them sat me down. It's like, Danny, you can't ever do that,

604
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.519
Like that's creating help for us.
What do you guys do? Like

605
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:32.920
I was thinking about this because I
always try to be a good tipper,

606
00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:37.119
and I went to the concert on
Sunday, and there's so many things now

607
00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:39.679
that have like, you know,
the square payment thing or whatever, like

608
00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:44.440
the screens that they whip around and
almost everything has the like, oh what

609
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:46.159
do you want to give? You
know, twenty twenty five thirty no tip

610
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:51.360
or whatever, And anytime I see
that, I would feel so shitty about

611
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:53.000
hitting no tip, you know,
Like I was at the State Fair not

612
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:54.920
too long ago, and it's like
literally, like you know, if somebody

613
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:59.320
grabs a thing like a pretzel out
of a spinning thing and gives it to

614
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:00.920
you and then whips it around,
do you tip every time? Because like

615
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:05.599
I was at this concert paying whatever, like twelve thirteen dollars drinks and then

616
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:07.440
it's like I was hitting twenty every
time just because I didn't want to hit

617
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:13.880
no tip. Do you have any
rules that parameters. Everybody feels differently about

618
00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:17.840
it. Generally, my stance,
and this is like service industry stance.

619
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:22.599
I'm not saying it's perfect, but
I do think it's aligned. Is if

620
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:28.199
they are mixing a cocktail, it's
twenty percent. If they're opening a beer

621
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:31.239
or a wine, it's a dollar
per drink because it's less manual labor,

622
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:36.440
if that makes sense. But a
cocktail takes like three to five minutes,

623
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:40.440
right, that's effort and an energy
that they're shaking stuff around, so whereas

624
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:45.719
like a beer, they can move
you quickly. So that's my stance,

625
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:49.079
is a dollar per drink if it's
easy. If it's more complicated than twenty

626
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:52.000
percent, okay, because I was
doing beers and so I just didn't know,

627
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:53.679
Like I don't know if I'm this
necessary or not, but I'm just

628
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:59.480
going to err on the side of
caution and not being a dick. Yeah,

629
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:01.920
because right, yeah, you should
always air on the side of caution,

630
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:06.400
but also understand that the markup is
huge when you're going to an event

631
00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:10.239
like that. I also I went
to bonnie vera concert like a couple like

632
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:15.440
a month ago or something, and
I want to say a beer was fourteen

633
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:21.679
dollars, I'll pay it. But
if I'm buying two beers that's thirty dollars,

634
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:28.000
that would be a six dollars tip
for I find that excessive. I've

635
00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:30.480
taken the decision to drink at a
concert, which is expensive, but I

636
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:37.599
think tipping six, sorry, twenty
percent on thirty dollars for two beers is

637
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:39.960
a lot. So that's where I
draw the line. You're already spending that

638
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:43.760
much. Yeah. I may have
full you guys this before, but at

639
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:45.880
that time, I was in New
York City and it was like when I

640
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:46.480
first time is there. I don't
even think I lived there yet. I

641
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:49.760
went to a wrestling event, like
a Summer Slam, and went to a

642
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.920
bar afterwards with some friends, and
like, all through college and living in

643
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:54.599
the Midwest and everything, I was
always dollar to drink all the time,

644
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:58.440
you know, all through the two
thousands and stuff. And then I did

645
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:00.159
that one night at this bar and
I don't I don't remember I was getting

646
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:02.760
cocktail or beers. I was probably
just getting beers I usually do. And

647
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:06.880
I was waiting for my uber afterwards
to go back to the hotel, and

648
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:09.280
the fucking bartender came out at like
three in the morning or however it was

649
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:13.360
super late. Confronted me on the
sidewalk. He's like, hey, fuck

650
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:15.719
her, and I turned, well, god, it's the bartender, and

651
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:17.119
he goes, hey, you know
where you're at. You're in New York

652
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:20.280
City. You think you're a little
dollar a drink, Shit is gonna fly

653
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:24.039
here. I'm sorry. I thought
that was standard. He say, yeah,

654
00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:27.320
wherever the fuck you're from. Yeah, I'm sure it's fucking dollar dram

655
00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:29.480
Sure that's fine, and wherever the
fuck you're from. But you're in New

656
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:31.159
York City. This is Manhattan.
I'm not going to fucking pay my rent

657
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:35.559
on a dollar drink, asshole.
And I was like, holy shit.

658
00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:38.119
It's like, I mean, I
know now I would tip more than that,

659
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:42.599
but like that was not the way
to go about it, right,

660
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:45.960
Like that's weird, that's beyond the
pail. For that happened to me.

661
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:50.400
I would have been like I would
have had I would have pepper sprayed out,

662
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:52.880
would have been freaking out. I
would have freaked out if someone came

663
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:57.639
up to me at three in the
morning. It was very aggressive. Yeah,

664
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:01.360
no, thank you. I think
they're there's value and understanding people should

665
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:05.840
tip more, but you can't accost
people either. It's like, dude,

666
00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:07.239
if you had come out and told
me like, hey, I know you're

667
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:12.480
not in New York every weekend,
that's you're really underpaid me, and be

668
00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.039
like, oh shit, I didn't
know. Man, here's another twenty bucks,

669
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:16.519
Like yeah, or don't don't come
out and do it, like you

670
00:45:16.519 --> 00:45:19.679
know, maybe when like the bills
coming or something, or when you first

671
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:21.480
realize it, you know, just
be like, hey, just so you

672
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:22.519
know, you probably didn't mean to
do this, but you know, New

673
00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:27.000
York's typically by Like, sure,
i'd understand that a little more, but

674
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:30.719
fucking costing me in the street was
insane. No, that's that crazy that

675
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:36.800
It is just ridiculous that we,
like service industry workers still have to work

676
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:39.760
off tips places. More and more
they're doing salaried stuff and it's like,

677
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:43.239
yeah, you should all do that. These are hard as fuck jobs.

678
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:45.840
Stop seeing that here for tips.
We we went somewhere a couple of weekends

679
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:50.039
ago, this nice restaurant in Minnesota, and they just had a thing like

680
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.039
when you open up your bill,
it's like, hey, here's how we

681
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.360
do things here. We pay you
know, everyone like a really good wage

682
00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:59.079
and stuff, So there's a space
on the receipt for t Yeah, like

683
00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:00.480
if you want to go about and
beyond, you know, like, but

684
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:04.519
just know that it's second care of
it's not expected. But here's the thing.

685
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:06.559
If you want to, you know, give them a huge tip or

686
00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:08.239
something, but like I would happily
every single time, just be like,

687
00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:10.599
yep, all right, pay,
not think about it, and then if

688
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:13.960
you want to give a huge tip. On topic, I like the auto

689
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:17.239
tip policy. We have a couple
of pizza joints in Portland that do that

690
00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:21.800
every check. It's just like,
listen, we just put twenty percent gratuity

691
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:24.480
on there. It's what you should
tip and it's standard. And then our

692
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:30.360
prices are what they are and a
portion of the prices go to ensuring that

693
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:35.960
everybody's paid a fair wage. And
the tips are all shared, so the

694
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:38.559
cook gets a portion of tips,
right, everybody gets a portion. It's

695
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:40.599
all shared across the board. And
I was like, that seems fair.

696
00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:46.199
I like that system and I don't
like stressing about math. So just just

697
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:50.960
tack it on my bill and we'll
call it even. It's nice when you're

698
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:52.119
in like England or somewhere where it's
just not part of it. It's like,

699
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:54.960
okay, I'm not gonna think about
it, Like I like that.

700
00:46:57.199 --> 00:47:00.360
I mean, you guys have been
to some of the neighborhood bars where we

701
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:04.599
go here, it's like we tip
really well, so then like the bartenders

702
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:10.639
remember that and then head heavy handed
furs or sometimes don't charge you. And

703
00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:15.599
then that's like how you become regulars. And then I and nice we still

704
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.320
tip when they don't charge because it's
like, well we should give you something.

705
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:22.360
Oh yeah, yeah yeah. In
a situation where somebody's been like,

706
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:23.639
oh yeah, come to the restaurant
and give you a premial, you tip

707
00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:30.719
like crazy on that. Yeah.
But yeah. There's there's a few plays

708
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:32.199
in San Francisco as well that are
doing more salered stuff. There's one here

709
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:36.800
in Jersey City that we love is
or not here, but there's one right

710
00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:40.679
in Jersey City we love that's also
doing the like salaried workers and whatnot,

711
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:45.880
like you should do that everywhere,
agreed, But or just raise the minimum

712
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:53.840
wage. The service industry, they're
allowed to have your wage be less than

713
00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:59.039
minimum wage if they suspect that your
tips will get you to minimum wage,

714
00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:02.800
which I find and really evil when
I was waitressing, I made three dollars

715
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:07.239
in twenty nine since an hour because
they were like, your tips will make

716
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:09.719
up for it. And if I
didn't, let's say it was a really

717
00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:13.639
slow day, then they would be
like, all right, we'll give you

718
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:19.960
the six fifty an hour, another
three dollars. You're working on like an

719
00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:27.559
absurd, extremely volatile commission rate.
Basically, yeah, because some people are

720
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:30.280
gonna tip your dollars, So people
are gonna tip you fifteen dollars. But

721
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:32.519
yeah, it's just it gives you
to work harder, and it sucks.

722
00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:35.320
I mean, I was a kid
my mom. I had a single mom

723
00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:37.239
that was a chili's waitress when I
was growing up, and like, I

724
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:40.199
think she was getting paid like two
dollars an hour. It was something like

725
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:43.440
like I don't think I'm exaggerating,
I swear she told me, like in

726
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:45.119
the late eighties, early nineties she
was making two dollars an hour, and

727
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:49.320
that's why she was really hammering home
the importance of tips and stuff like that.

728
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.639
And she bust her ass on like
a twelve hour shifted chilies get home

729
00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:54.079
late at night. People were assholes
were and stuff. And you know,

730
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:57.840
let's say one big table or whatever, took up a big table, you

731
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:00.400
know, for a good chunk of
the night, and then didn't at all

732
00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:01.519
or whatever. It's just like,
it's just, oh my gosh, you

733
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:06.599
did all that work for like fucking
a tank of gas. Like that sucks.

734
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:09.519
But what's also fucked is that it
was that low in the eighties.

735
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:15.079
In the two early two thousands or
late nineteen nineties, they increased the minimum

736
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:19.840
wage slightly, and then since then
they have not. So when I was

737
00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:22.679
getting three dollars and fifty cents an
hour as a waitress, they haven't raised

738
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:27.840
the minimum wage since I was doing
it. So people who are waitresses now

739
00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:30.320
are making the same I was making
when I was in high school. Maybe

740
00:49:31.480 --> 00:49:35.920
they raised the minimum wage a few
years ago. It wasn't It wasn't great,

741
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:37.679
but it was they did raise.
Are you talking about specifically the service

742
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:43.599
industry? The service industry is allowed
to go under minimum wage because of that.

743
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:45.920
But oh yeah, they're definitely still
doing that for sure. It sucks.

744
00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:50.159
Oh you're paid for your first jobs. I was five fifteen at both

745
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:55.440
amc and Games. They're Funko Lands
and McDonald's. I remember I was at

746
00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:00.760
Regal Cinemas as a but I forget
what it was. It was probably five

747
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:05.599
something, maybe six It had to
have been five something at Subway, and

748
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:07.800
I know it was minimum wage.
That was my first job, but I

749
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:12.440
only worked there like a couple of
months before I got fired. Oh yeah,

750
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:15.280
what are you fired for? I
told my boss to the fuck off.

751
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:19.159
We talked about this. She put
com in the mayonnaise. I did

752
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:28.760
not put com in the mayonnaise.
Crouched over all, she's spooning in the

753
00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:32.760
mayonnaise again. Fired, man,
Why are you such a dick? There's

754
00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:37.679
like an episode six bit. This
is a while ago. Yeah, never

755
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:43.000
did that. The mayonnaise is gross. It subway though it's not. I

756
00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:52.199
mean, it's your faults gross doing
that. Mary, You really consider stopping.

757
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:59.280
She still is just breaking into sways
in the middle of the night within

758
00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:02.400
a square all of a subway.
I'm not actually legally not a square mile

759
00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:08.000
of subway. Subway is a restraining
work. That would be pretty funny.

760
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:12.599
Don't want me near that subway.
You can't even go in the public transportation

761
00:51:12.639 --> 00:51:19.039
Subway strict one sucks because they're uh, they're everywhere. So it's like I'm

762
00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:27.280
always breaking the law travel I'm likely
a mile away from a subway or I'm

763
00:51:27.320 --> 00:51:32.199
always It would be very funny to
hear you tube at a table with some

764
00:51:32.239 --> 00:51:35.840
of my relatives in a month like
Dan's like, oh yeah, I got

765
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:37.559
married at a taco bell. Mary's
like I got fired a subway for coming

766
00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:40.000
in the main aim. That's why
I have to put you at your own

767
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.760
table. That's our next shirt.
By the way, it's just married,

768
00:51:44.840 --> 00:52:00.519
subway eat fresh. That's a disgusting
I'm upset. I'm upset. Do you

769
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:02.400
guys want to talk about video games? Yes? Right, yeah, anything

770
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:08.639
else? It is officially fall.
Fall is in full swing. The sun's

771
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:12.079
gonna start going down earlier. The
days are getting longer and colder. I'm

772
00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:15.000
putting on flannel. We are all
going to be very busy in the fall.

773
00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:17.039
Some what weather end up having its
last gasp. I'm getting married.

774
00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:20.280
You guys will be there, but
we're all busy with work. So something

775
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:23.719
like factor will be super helpful because
we can have healthy meals, easy to

776
00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:30.000
cook meals, which are also just
super convenient for when we are busy all

777
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:31.559
the time. Dan, you you
have used factor for a while. What

778
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:35.679
is it like I have? And
it is great, and you mentioned getting

779
00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:37.880
colder. When it's cold, I
don't want to leave the house. I

780
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:39.719
want my food to come to me, and that's what Factor does. So

781
00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:43.239
it's convenient and it's delicious. I
mean, this is like for a thing,

782
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:44.800
you put in the my mic career
for like two and a half minutes

783
00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:46.480
and you got a meal ready to
go. Honestly, I love picking out

784
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:50.679
from the menu every week what I
want and they're all just delicious. So

785

00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:12.719

I keep one of my balls fresh.

790
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:16.039
What what is it again, fresh
ball fall? The other one I'm just

791
00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:20.400
dragging around in a bunch of thumb
tacks and dirt. The other one fresh

792
00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:22.480
as a day man escape. You
know what you could use on that that

793
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:30.000
threshed unthreshed ball is manscape? Oh
oh, like the lawnmower four point zero

794
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:35.599
trimmer. Yes, it's a technical
masterpiece, the Mona Lisa of ball trimmers,

795
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:38.159
seven thousand rpm motor, a multi
function on off switch that can engage

796
00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:44.239
a travel lock, and a built
in forty four thousand k led spotlight.

797
00:53:44.920 --> 00:53:50.360
Except no less on my balls I
need at least I didn't have a listen.

798
00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:53.159
I forgot who said this, but
somebody said recently to me that trimming

799
00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:55.719
your balls, No, it's on
a podcast heard trimming your balls is like

800
00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:00.159
trying to trim like chewing gum,
like chewed up gum. How the fuck

801
00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:05.119
are you supposed to because like balls
are like wrinkle and hurt. If you

802
00:54:05.159 --> 00:54:07.519
anything you have, like a stiff
breeze will hurt your nuts down there.

803
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:09.960
And so you got worrying blades going
down there. It's a bad time for

804
00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:13.719
everyone I have. I look,
I'm not too proud to admit I have

805
00:54:13.880 --> 00:54:20.199
nicked my scrotum before while trying to
keep things, keep things nice and tidy

806
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:22.119
down there. And you know what
doesn't do that the lawnmower four point zero.

807
00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:25.480
I've tried to trim my balls,
No, not tried, succeeded at

808
00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:30.239
trimming my balls with the lawnmower four
point zero. It's got a nice guard

809
00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:34.000
up top there, so yeah,
you can tell the actual blade is nowhere

810
00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:37.480
near your actual scrotum. That's nice. Lord, Mine are frinkle. Mine

811
00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:43.079
were crafted in the image of Michelangelo's
David. They're like marble marbles down there,

812
00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:46.039
but you should maintain them every once
in a while. Mary, tell

President Joe Biden. I've got I've
got here Immortal Combat one code for you

819
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:31.079
lies of p It's Pinocchio retold.
It's like blood Borne, but with Pinocchio

820
00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:39.239
you kind of hear. I can
hear it if I close my eyes upgrading

821
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:54.159
my pea organ you check song is
real? Cool? Oh my god?

822
00:55:55.440 --> 00:56:00.400
Well might as well talk about Moral
Kombat one. Dan, you've been playing

823
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:06.320
Mortal Kombat one? Oh boy?
Have I? It is a wonderful fucking

824
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:07.920
game. I don't know if you
guys played it. At all, like

825
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:10.360
a couple of hours, and I
really want to play more. I tried

826
00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:14.760
Invasions. Oh, Invasions is super
fun. Yeah, Marry if you tried

827
00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:19.000
it, No, we are either. You like like Mortal Kombat as a

828
00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:22.760
series as a concept? Are you
into it? Yeah? Yes, I

829
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:28.639
like. I also just in general, I admire and appreciate many fighting games,

830
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:30.440
but another realm are usually the ones
I stick with in the long term.

831
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:35.639
I think it's they're a bit slower
mechanically than something like Street Fighter or

832
00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:39.559
like the Arc System Works games.
So I was really excited for this game

833
00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:44.320
and it's not disappointing. Yeah,
that's always how I've been because like I

834
00:56:44.400 --> 00:56:46.239
even as a kid, I remember
like Mortal Kombat versus Street Fighter in the

835
00:56:46.360 --> 00:56:50.880
early nineties was such a big thing
at like Recess, and I was always

836
00:56:50.920 --> 00:56:52.800
I always liked Street Fighter two.
I played it in my friends places,

837
00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:55.920
but like the one I always bought
and had at my place and obsessed over

838
00:56:57.000 --> 00:56:59.480
with Mortal Kombat. It's just like, I don't know, the characters are

839
00:56:59.519 --> 00:57:02.079
fun stories, fun, like there's
a confidence in those games. As silly

840
00:57:02.119 --> 00:57:06.840
as they are, they play him
straight and they're just fucking cool and this

841
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:10.239
one. It is. This one
does such a good job of giving you,

842
00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:14.599
like longtime fans, so many just
like little hat tips to you know,

843
00:57:14.920 --> 00:57:16.920
serious history and stuff like that,
but also introducing a lot of new

844
00:57:17.000 --> 00:57:22.880
stuff versus like nine was kind of
the reboot idea, but that was almost

845
00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:24.840
like a retelling of one, two, and three with a modern fighting system.

846
00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:29.239
This one feels like, Okay,
we're going back. So it's these

847
00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:32.360
characters from the older games, but
now Luke Kang's this and that Riding is

848
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:36.000
just a dude at the beginning,
like it's crazy scene riding like before he

849
00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:38.519
gets his like electric amulet, and
so like a lot of these origin stories

850
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:42.519
change where it's like Riding isn't a
god with electric powers. He's a guy

851
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:45.840
who like got picked to represent Earth
realm and was given an electric amulet or

852
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:51.639
whatever. Or here's how Kenschi got
blind, Here's how Molina got all fucked

853
00:57:51.679 --> 00:57:53.400
up and all this stuff, and
right, a couple of those things are

854
00:57:53.440 --> 00:57:58.159
kind of like remember like in a
solo that Star Wars movie where I don't

855
00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:00.280
know if you guys saw it,
but there was a really like lame Heart

856
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:02.719
where we didn't need to know why
his name was Han solo, you know,

857
00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:06.000
like nobody was clamoring for that.
And there's the part where he goes

858
00:58:06.039 --> 00:58:07.840
by himself on the train or something
and the guy at the station's like,

859
00:58:08.079 --> 00:58:12.159
oh, so you're solo, huh
and he writes solo in the name field.

860
00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:14.079
It's like, right, that's how
he got it. That's stupid as

861
00:58:14.079 --> 00:58:16.800
fuck. Like there are a couple
of things there where it's like Kung Lao

862
00:58:16.840 --> 00:58:20.480
in the story mode, he like
decide he has the idea to make his

863
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:23.079
hat sharp. It's just like,
Okay, we didn't need that, the

864
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:28.039
guy with the sharp hat. They're
being dumb about it. Yeah, Like

865
00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:30.559
I don't, Yeah, nothing.
Realm's not taking it seriously like Disney was,

866
00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:32.960
yes, And that's why it doesn't
bother me, because I feel like

867
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.199
everyone in another realm is in on
the joke. I think the tone has

868
00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:39.280
been so consistent throughout that series,
thanks to Boon being at the helm for

869
00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:44.239
all these fucking games. Uh.
It's it's a lot of like best versions

870
00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:46.199
of the characters I've seen like this. Sheng Sung is probably my favorite.

871
00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:51.760
He's incredibly smarmy and they do some
fun things with him throughout the story mode.

872
00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:54.519
I beat that recently, Luke Kang
kicks Ass is like a fire guy

873
00:58:54.559 --> 00:58:58.280
and because like the first one,
he's just the dude that was so like

874
00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:00.480
just generic. He didn't even have
fatality. He did a cart wheel,

875
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:04.920
you know, and this one he's
a literal fire god. And I loved

876
00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:08.519
this Lukeang here. The cast is
great, and I think it's really important

877
00:59:08.519 --> 00:59:12.119
for someone like me that's never going
to play competitively. I'm barely going to

878
00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:15.480
touch online. I'm not going to
fucking Evo, I'm not learning fucking juggle

879
00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:19.079
combos and all that stuff. It
is the best in the world in terms

880
00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:22.039
of fighting at giving you shit to
do if you're just a one person playing

881
00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:28.039
between a beefy story mode that's super
well done. This Invasions mode, which

882
00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:30.360
is kind of huge, and it's
gonna like refresh with the seasons, which

883
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:35.000
is amazing. You know, plenty
of stuff to unlock and all the customization

884
00:59:35.079 --> 00:59:37.559
stuff is great. That that was
one of my favorite things. Is someone

885
00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:42.320
who we've talked about this before.
I've I've like weaned off live service games

886
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:46.639
a lot in the last few years, and yes, that's here in Mortal

887
00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:51.320
Kombat one. However, I love
that they literally aligned their in games,

888
00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:54.320
like their seasonal content with the four
seasons, so like all a lot of

889
00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:59.119
the costumes right now are all like
fall themed and Paul Spice colored. Yeah,

890
00:59:59.360 --> 01:00:00.960
dude, white. It's kind of
weird where it's like I don't seve

891
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:05.960
Zero with like brown and orange.
It's like, okay, scorpion, sure,

892
01:00:06.039 --> 01:00:07.840
but like sub Zero and Katana who
like only ever wore blue, Like

893
01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:12.239
that's kind of it looks weird.
Yeah, but Mike mc that's that's why

894
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:15.559
it's funny because it's like they're really
embracing like the Pumpkin Spice, Like Mike

895
01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:17.880
McWhorter called him the Pumpkin Spice scorpios, like I need their scorpion, and

896
01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:21.280
I was like, I need to
see this, like I love I like

897
01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:24.000
already I hate that. I'm already
excited. I don't hate it. I

898
01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:29.559
just like I'm kind of getting sick
of a lot of live service models and

899
01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:32.800
I'm already excited for like the winter
theme ones that are gonna like, oh

900
01:00:32.840 --> 01:00:36.679
Christmas, sub Zero is gonna kick
ass. Yeah, oh, I didn't

901
01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:38.920
think of that. That'll be great. It's overwatched. It's like it's overwatched

902
01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:43.239
skins like seasonal stuff like Overwatch does
Lunar New Year. Those ones are always

903
01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:46.679
super cool looking. But I would
love to be in the room when the

904
01:00:46.719 --> 01:00:51.079
other realms, like what do we
theme our seasons around? Someone's like the

905
01:00:51.199 --> 01:01:00.840
seasons and brilliant yas did he das
wertos subzero. He's one the premium ones,

906
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:04.440
which is the fucking face paint in
the sombrero and it's awesome looking.

907
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:07.280
Like, yeah, there will be
some cool ones. I haven't gotten any

908
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:10.079
like crazy looking. Are there like
crazy looking Halloween ones but like obvious diadalos

909
01:01:10.119 --> 01:01:14.719
martos? But are there more like
like general internship. I mean they're really

910
01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:16.360
cool ones where it's like, oh, here's dark Sindel that you can only

911
01:01:16.360 --> 01:01:19.960
get with dragon crystals and stuff,
which is the paid currency, and like

912
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:22.119
there are some that are like clearly
more elaborate than others, but a lot

913
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:24.719
of them are kind of palance swap
type stuff for a different pattern for this

914
01:01:24.840 --> 01:01:29.519
or that. Yeah, but to
your point, I like that I can

915
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:32.840
just keep playing invasions mode. It's
not forcing me into multiplayer or like certain

916
01:01:32.920 --> 01:01:37.920
like competitive modes. I don't want
to play Street Fighter six as someone who

917
01:01:37.960 --> 01:01:40.960
doesn't who's never really been a street
Fighter person. I thought Street Fighter six

918
01:01:42.039 --> 01:01:45.840
was giving me a decent number of
avenues to travel down if I didn't want

919
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:49.320
to do multiplayer either. I feel
like fighting games are getting very good at

920
01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:52.079
that all the time. So yeah, I really want to keep playing Mortal

921
01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:55.239
Komma one, just to see how
more of the story shakes out. I

922
01:01:55.320 --> 01:02:00.599
started the story, I didn't realize. Not that I'm opposed to like these

923
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:02.559
eight minute cut scenes where the craziest
shit's happening. I'm into that, it's

924
01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:07.480
just I didn't realize there would be
an eight minute cut scene before I needed

925
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:08.639
to leave the house. I'm like, this is still going. It was

926
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:10.960
like talking to my mom when I
was eight. It was like, nope,

927
01:02:10.960 --> 01:02:14.679
Mom, the scene still going.
I swear it's really long. The

928
01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:17.039
trick is, if anyone's playing story
mode and you want to know easily how

929
01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:20.719
to get out, is anytime you
end one of these fights, which is

930
01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:23.159
pretty short, just wait until like
hit certain hinting pause and as soon as

931
01:02:23.159 --> 01:02:25.519
it gives you the option to go
to chapter select or the main menu,

932
01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:30.519
that means it has saved and it
will pick up right at the end of

933
01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:31.880
that fight. So, like,
if I knew I was about to wrap

934
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:34.760
up. I'd be like, Okay, I'm gonna wait till this next fight,

935
01:02:34.880 --> 01:02:37.239
do it real quick and then back
out, and that always worked.

936
01:02:37.400 --> 01:02:43.159
So but yeah, I love that
they just took a invasion modes sort of

937
01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:45.400
like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate did
that mode, the All Stars mode where

938
01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:49.599
you're you're going along these nodes on
a board like a Mario party board,

939
01:02:49.719 --> 01:02:52.039
and you're jumping into different fights and
some mini games, et cetera. And

940
01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:55.559
the most Emissary like, yeah,
that's on a few of those like bigger

941
01:02:55.639 --> 01:03:00.800
single player modes like Smash Brothers has. Yeah, yeah, I like that

942
01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:04.760
game just feels so well crafted in
every aspect. I like it a lot.

943
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:09.159
Even the payment system work to get
all the exclusive items, do you

944
01:03:09.199 --> 01:03:13.480
pay for those or do they just
unlock? Okay, so there's one that

945
01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:15.639
is a paid currency, which is
dragon crystals, and that's the one for

946
01:03:15.719 --> 01:03:20.320
like the like more elaborate like here's
these like this crazy dark Sindell costume or

947
01:03:20.320 --> 01:03:22.280
whatever, and there is some really
cool stuff there that is, as far

948
01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:25.639
as I can tell, just dragon
crystals. I had like seventeen hundred when

949
01:03:25.679 --> 01:03:28.440
I started, but I think that's
because the code they gave me. It

950
01:03:28.480 --> 01:03:30.320
was like a premium deal. So
I don't know if you get it was

951
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:32.840
I I've seen it way Yeah,
I haven't seen a way to earn them

952
01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:35.920
in game. But like, there
are a lot of currencies. So there's

953
01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:38.639
like coins which you earn in Invasions
mode, which you can only use to

954
01:03:38.719 --> 01:03:45.079
buy items and talismans and stuff in
Invasions. Then there's the seasonal currency,

955
01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:46.719
which you can get done like there's
daily quests, weekly quests, things like

956
01:03:46.719 --> 01:03:51.400
that. These are these silver coins
that you can only use to buy like

957
01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:54.159
the fall color, you know,
Scorpion or whatever. So yes, so

958
01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:58.480
seasonal tokens, coins own crowns.
Wait, what's the coins? I mean,

959
01:03:58.519 --> 01:04:00.039
no, coins are were given to
the shrine. You give a thousand

960
01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:03.239
coins you're Dragon, and he barfs
on it and you get a randomized unlock

961
01:04:03.360 --> 01:04:08.199
for the collection there, and then
the crowns are for buying stuffn So that's

962
01:04:08.199 --> 01:04:11.679
something there are there's like four different
currencies. It's not as bad as it

963
01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:14.119
sounds. The Dragon crystals are the
only ones you got to pay for.

964
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:17.119
And I find that there is a
lot of customization and unlocks and stuff.

965
01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:21.760
Even if you don't pay anything.
It doesn't sound good. It's really it

966
01:04:21.840 --> 01:04:25.960
sounds worse than it is. If
you could play, if you could play

967
01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:30.119
for X number of hours and get
through a lot of ship without being like

968
01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:33.360
that jam down your throat, I'm
fine with it. I find that when

969
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:38.360
there's enough currencies, it feels like
they're up. They're like complicating things on

970
01:04:38.400 --> 01:04:42.840
purpose in order to get you to
spend money. But I haven't played enough

971
01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:45.280
to see whether that's the case.
I have not at any point felt like

972
01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:47.639
they were like, you got to
buy these dragon crystals. I remember the

973
01:04:47.639 --> 01:04:49.159
first time I wanted to go to
the store, I was like, where

974
01:04:49.159 --> 01:04:50.679
the fuck is it in the main
menu? And I realized, Oh,

975
01:04:50.719 --> 01:04:54.000
it's like down here in the corner. Like, but do you spend your

976
01:04:54.039 --> 01:04:57.599
dragon crystals? No? Because they
seem really valuable, and I don't want

977
01:04:57.639 --> 01:05:00.880
to spend more money, so I'm
wait until I see something that really inspires

978
01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:04.079
me. It's got a rotating shop, so with your free dragon crystals that

979
01:05:04.159 --> 01:05:10.159
you got automatically twenty into or earn, right, But I gotta be.

980
01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:13.639
I gotta be, you know,
But you think the game's really fair.

981
01:05:14.719 --> 01:05:17.639
The game's fair, you said.
The currency system is like super reasonable.

982
01:05:18.519 --> 01:05:21.320
I mean, are you saying because
I didn't pay for it? Yeah?

983
01:05:21.400 --> 01:05:26.519
The game? Oh yeah, yeah
yeah. That is the thing I can't

984
01:05:26.599 --> 01:05:30.400
fucking talk about ever objectively, is
like cost of stuff because I haven't had

985
01:05:30.440 --> 01:05:34.239
to pay for games for twenty years, so like, I'm not like I

986
01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:38.000
always think it's weird when people in
the industry or like, oh man,

987
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:40.840
this is like this is really you
know, it's like you got this for

988
01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:43.760
free, Like this is like so
like I try not to talk about that

989
01:05:43.800 --> 01:05:46.760
stuff much because I am not.
I'm not in tune with that. It

990
01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:53.679
doesn't look sound very reasonable, but
like I wonder what the conversion is,

991
01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:58.239
how much it's to many crystal?
How many Dragon Tales do I get for

992
01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:01.440
twenty dollars? For twenty dollars,
we get twenty seven hundred. It's again

993
01:06:02.440 --> 01:06:05.960
that's where that's when live service games. And again I've only played two hours

994
01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:10.599
this game. I'm not I'm probably
gonna play a lot of it. But

995
01:06:11.320 --> 01:06:15.119
it's twelve sorry, ten dollars for
one thy two hundred fifty dragon crystals.

996
01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:19.360
And they're priced like that in most
games, so you will always have a

997
01:06:19.440 --> 01:06:24.159
surplus after you buy anything. So
then the next time you go to look

998
01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:26.639
at the premium skin that you really
want. You're like, oh, well,

999
01:06:26.639 --> 01:06:30.320
now I have two hundred and fifty
left, so now I'll buy another

1000
01:06:30.320 --> 01:06:32.679
twelve fifty. So the next time
you have five hundred leftover, so you're

1001
01:06:32.679 --> 01:06:35.840
that much closer to buying the next
one. So that's crazy. It's like,

1002
01:06:36.719 --> 01:06:40.840
again, it's all cosmetic, and
it's like it's still at the end

1003
01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:44.760
of the day, design to hook
you and blur you into paying for that

1004
01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:47.920
stuff. Foltely, that's why they
did the fifty. That's one hundred percent

1005
01:06:48.079 --> 01:06:54.039
tricking your brain into saying, well, it's it's practically in this economy,

1006
01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:57.480
I can't afford not to buy another
skin. It's every mobile game, it's

1007
01:06:57.519 --> 01:07:00.960
every It's Fortnite, It's yeah,
that's how that's all op. But as

1008
01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:04.800
like as someone who I got we
got the premium edition code too, it's

1009
01:07:04.840 --> 01:07:09.800
like, I don't like stuff like
that. However, I also played a

1010
01:07:09.800 --> 01:07:14.800
ship ton of Injustice Too for I
never spent any extra money. I'd love

1011
01:07:14.880 --> 01:07:17.679
the loot system, which you're basically
building out the character's costumes piece by piece.

1012
01:07:19.679 --> 01:07:24.920
I'm still probably gonna play a lot
of Moral Combat one into the winter,

1013
01:07:25.159 --> 01:07:29.039
and then I'll probably see something in
the summer. It's like Luke Kang

1014
01:07:29.079 --> 01:07:32.679
looks real good and Jay Crew trunks. Look at these Look at this butt

1015
01:07:32.920 --> 01:07:39.239
in this fall coat. I gotta
have it. It would be clear too.

1016
01:07:39.239 --> 01:07:41.199
I don't think I said it was
fair. I think I said it's

1017
01:07:41.199 --> 01:07:45.639
not in your face about it.
It's correct. Yeah, I was asking

1018
01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:48.000
if they're like dragon crystals, like
pop up it's like twenty and no.

1019
01:07:48.239 --> 01:07:51.159
It's like it would suck if,
like if I failed a tower in invasions

1020
01:07:51.159 --> 01:07:53.880
mode like three times in a row, and they're like, hey, if

1021
01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:56.159
you want to pay us five hundred
dragon crystals, we'll give you a fifty

1022
01:07:56.199 --> 01:07:58.800
percent damage boos, Like, it's
none of that shit at all, right,

1023
01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:02.440
it's not impacting the game at all. But you I would like to

1024
01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:06.199
challenge you to spend your dragon crystals. I got hold on to them.

1025
01:08:06.400 --> 01:08:13.159
I think you should spend them.
I'm a saver. I'm conservative, but

1026
01:08:13.639 --> 01:08:16.119
conserving what you didn't do anything.
You got them, so just I have

1027
01:08:16.279 --> 01:08:21.199
them, garrit of them and then
gets fair. The next time you want

1028
01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:25.840
something, I do want to get
them. The dear Dalis Morntos subzero is

1029
01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:30.720
really cool. Okay, you know
what, Dan treat yourself. You deserve

1030
01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:33.760
it, Go buy it, and
then let's check in and see the next

1031
01:08:33.760 --> 01:08:36.319
time you want something and you don't
have dragon crystals, if you're like,

1032
01:08:36.479 --> 01:08:40.840
yeah, I mean I fell into
that drab with Fortnite, and I spent

1033
01:08:41.079 --> 01:08:45.000
a good amount of money on Fortnite. So I think you spent on Fortnite,

1034
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:48.760
you didn't pay. You didn't pay
for Fortnite upfront, No one did.

1035
01:08:48.760 --> 01:08:53.239
It's free. Yeah, so it's
like I'm a little bit more willing

1036
01:08:53.279 --> 01:08:57.720
to forgive that stuff there. It's
like when Mortal Kombat's already won seventy bucks,

1037
01:08:57.760 --> 01:09:01.039
It's like, I still again to
another ELM's credit. From everything I've

1038
01:09:01.039 --> 01:09:06.000
heard and seen, you're still getting
quite a ship ton of content for that

1039
01:09:06.119 --> 01:09:11.560
seventy dollars. Oh yeah. It's
the practice of like obfuscating the currencies and

1040
01:09:11.920 --> 01:09:15.560
making it worth just a little more. So next time you go to consider

1041
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:24.239
buying something, it's people who Fortnite. Let's get back into it that she's

1042
01:09:24.239 --> 01:09:26.960
spent on Fortnite. I mean it's
definitely the most I've ever spent on a

1043
01:09:27.000 --> 01:09:30.800
game, and I would say it's
ever in your life. Oh yeah,

1044
01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:34.479
yeah, I mean I don't play
I mean I bought, you know,

1045
01:09:34.520 --> 01:09:36.840
when I was a kid and a
teenager, I bought a bunch of fifty

1046
01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:41.960
and sixty dollars games. But like, I don't play MMOs or I don't

1047
01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:44.840
do micro transactions. I don't.
I'm not a mobile gamer. I don't

1048
01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:49.800
like you don't play that's not my
games, not really that Yeah. So

1049
01:09:49.840 --> 01:09:54.880
it's like I was park between one
hundred, one hundred and fifty dollars.

1050
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:59.239
Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't. But it's more than

1051
01:09:59.399 --> 01:10:02.000
a game costs, right, Yeah, so you were willing to invest because

1052
01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:05.079
you enjoyed it. Yeah, And
I don't feel like I got you know,

1053
01:10:05.199 --> 01:10:08.279
Hornswoggle or anything here. It's like, oh man, they got this

1054
01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:11.600
fucking they got a Becky Lemps skin
and in Fortnite, I'll buy that.

1055
01:10:11.680 --> 01:10:14.720
Sure. I mean I've gotten hundreds
of hours of enjoyment out of Fortnite.

1056
01:10:15.039 --> 01:10:19.479
Doesn't seem unfair to me. I
don't think that you've been hoodwinked at all.

1057
01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:25.439
I think that's every penny worthwhile.
I think I probably spent ballpark one

1058
01:10:25.479 --> 01:10:30.079
hundred dollars in Overwatch custom like pieces. I enjoyed it. One this was

1059
01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:34.800
your most spent. Yes, but
this that's ages ago. It was when

1060
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:39.000
Overwatch came out and was like hot, hot, Hot. I don't spend

1061
01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:42.640
money in there anymore, but at
the time, every time it was like

1062
01:10:42.680 --> 01:10:45.479
a Halloween addition. I had to
have it. I had to have the

1063
01:10:45.520 --> 01:10:50.680
Halloween updates, and I loved it
and I really felt special rock in my

1064
01:10:50.840 --> 01:10:55.920
cool little outfits when I when I
was playing those players. So I think

1065
01:10:55.920 --> 01:10:59.399
that was worth it. So I'm
not saying that that's not a good investment

1066
01:10:59.479 --> 01:11:02.239
or that that's a problem. I
just think it's fascinating because it is the

1067
01:11:02.239 --> 01:11:08.880
way the industry is going unless Unity
gets their way. That free to play

1068
01:11:08.920 --> 01:11:13.399
and encouraging people to spend money in
game is lucrative for the player, But

1069
01:11:13.479 --> 01:11:16.960
you feel really valuable for the money
that you spent. You've enjoyed spending that

1070
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:19.079
money, and you felt like you
got good value out of it. Yeah,

1071
01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:21.520
especially if it's like the game,
like if you're playing Overwatch all the

1072
01:11:21.520 --> 01:11:25.319
time with your friends and stuff and
it's like, Okay, I'll spend a

1073
01:11:25.359 --> 01:11:28.000
little bit on this and really enjoy
it, Like that's not crazy to me,

1074
01:11:28.039 --> 01:11:30.439
And like Fortnight, I was playing
all the time at the time,

1075
01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:31.600
and you know, I use those
skins and it was always fun to me

1076
01:11:31.640 --> 01:11:34.279
when it would rotate around, like, oh now the terminator skin or whatever

1077
01:11:34.359 --> 01:11:38.720
like that was fun. And think
about Doda. They have a lot of

1078
01:11:38.760 --> 01:11:43.920
skins and stuff and it goes into
TI into the prize for the winners.

1079
01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:47.760
So when you spend money on cosmetics, oh, I think a portion of

1080
01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:56.399
it or some of it goes into
the international prize pool. At the end

1081
01:11:56.399 --> 01:12:00.920
of the year, somebody's winning like
millions and millions of dollars and it changes

1082
01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:02.279
their life. But it's all based
on like a lot of it is based

1083
01:12:02.279 --> 01:12:05.399
off of cosmetic sales, which is
really interesting. So it's all benefiting the

1084
01:12:05.439 --> 01:12:11.560
economy. That's cool. Yeah,
yeah, I actually money siege and war

1085
01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:15.079
frame and stuff. It's just like
nowadays, like all right, I'll get

1086
01:12:15.119 --> 01:12:16.159
I'll get what I wanted to that
and then yeah, sure, if I

1087
01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:19.640
come across like in the course of
playing over the next several months, if

1088
01:12:19.640 --> 01:12:27.600
I come across like is Errol Black
in this game? No, okay,

1089
01:12:27.680 --> 01:12:31.159
gotcha, he was the one I
liked from a Black Right. If I

1090
01:12:31.239 --> 01:12:39.960
come across a ride in wearing like
a fucking plan a costume, then I'll

1091
01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:43.600
probably buy that. Ye gotta have
it. Yeah, I was just thinking

1092
01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:45.199
about it, and I actually think
there was there was a mobile game that

1093
01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:48.880
Clash Royale that I got it.
There was like a period of like maybe

1094
01:12:48.960 --> 01:12:53.560
three months or so that I got
in because I had some wrestler friends that

1095
01:12:53.600 --> 01:12:55.439
were into it the I's going to
join their plan, and I was like,

1096
01:12:55.479 --> 01:12:57.119
all right, this would be a
fun way I can chat with and

1097
01:12:57.199 --> 01:12:59.800
give Gody roads or whatever. Like
you know, it's a bunch of wrestlers.

1098
01:12:59.800 --> 01:13:01.000
So I was doing it strictly just
to be part of this like oh

1099
01:13:01.079 --> 01:13:04.920
cool wrestler clan group or whatever.
But I did find that was my only

1100
01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:10.319
kind of flirting with that type of
money model and stuff where it's like you

1101
01:13:10.439 --> 01:13:14.720
get these four you know, treasure
chests that unlock. Okay, this one

1102
01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:16.680
unlocks in four hours, so like
you've got the notifications on your phone,

1103
01:13:16.680 --> 01:13:18.079
so it's like, oh, I
can open up my gold chest. I

1104
01:13:18.159 --> 01:13:20.880
better play it right now so I
can get the tim or going on the

1105
01:13:20.920 --> 01:13:28.439
next one, and then I probably
spent close are the two hundred two they're

1106
01:13:28.479 --> 01:13:33.199
designed and forming Any kids start playing
them and that's fucked up. Yeah,

1107
01:13:34.039 --> 01:13:39.039
the Smurf one never forget the Smurf
one. There's a Smurf there's a Simpsons

1108
01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:42.439
one that was really popular that tapped
out, Like the Smurf one, I

1109
01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:47.000
think was like pseudonymous because it was
it was the one that caused the the

1110
01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:55.079
suit, like people's parents sued them
and made Apple have restrictions that after a

1111
01:13:55.199 --> 01:13:58.199
certain price point you had to put
in your pass code because it was like,

1112
01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:01.079
how can you use tapping and like
why do I have two thousand dollars

1113
01:14:01.119 --> 01:14:05.399
charge of mine? That's right,
and you know mobile games like that.

1114
01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:11.239
Anytime there is something to be purchased
for two hundred and fifty real dollars,

1115
01:14:11.479 --> 01:14:15.359
that is predatory at that point,
right, like very rarely, if ever,

1116
01:14:15.439 --> 01:14:16.960
I can't think of a reason that
you need to spend two hundred fifty

1117
01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:20.840
dollars on any mobile game cosmetic.
Ever, I can't think of a good

1118
01:14:20.920 --> 01:14:26.960
reason that That is the thing where
you're hoping that the parents aren't around and

1119
01:14:27.039 --> 01:14:29.520
the kid is just like, well, I mean I want it. It's

1120
01:14:29.560 --> 01:14:32.159
blue and it is kind of scary. Like I remember during that first few

1121
01:14:32.199 --> 01:14:35.600
months of Clash Royale, like you
would wake up the first thing in the

1122
01:14:35.680 --> 01:14:39.239
day and you realize, oh,
all four of my chests are ready to

1123
01:14:39.279 --> 01:14:41.439
open, and so you open all
of them and you're like, okay,

1124
01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:43.800
well now I gotta like earn four
and get the time whe's going so like,

1125
01:14:44.000 --> 01:14:45.479
and those games weren't super short.
They were at least, you know,

1126
01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:48.079
like five minutes each, I would
say, so like every day for

1127
01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:51.760
like three months, I'm like laying
in bed playing twenty thirty minutes of Clash

1128
01:14:51.880 --> 01:14:55.359
Royale before I get up for the
day, and I'm doing it throughout the

1129
01:14:55.439 --> 01:14:58.640
day, and my day is like
getting dictated by like when these fucking chests

1130
01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:01.479
are. And I did not like
that feeling at all. I don't like

1131
01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:05.760
the feeling of like That's why I
don't. I think addiction is too strong

1132
01:15:05.800 --> 01:15:09.319
of a word for what I experienced
there. But I could see enough of

1133
01:15:09.439 --> 01:15:16.199
like oh, but it was enough
to where I could see how this could

1134
01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:19.720
get bad, and it's like I
it's I mean, I never wanted to

1135
01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:24.640
play WOW. Like That's why I
never tried Wow is because the idea of

1136
01:15:24.720 --> 01:15:27.319
like, well, it's ten dollars
a month, I can't like, what

1137
01:15:27.399 --> 01:15:30.760
if I really like this guy can't
be It's just this this endless potential like

1138
01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:32.560
spending money thing, and even that
it's just a set subscription amount. That

1139
01:15:32.600 --> 01:15:35.640
actually doesn't sound that crazy to me
now, the class royale thing. Once

1140
01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:39.000
I caught myself, you know,
spending all that time, spending all that

1141
01:15:39.079 --> 01:15:41.279
money, I was like, I
don't like the way this makes me feel.

1142
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:44.840
I don't want to play games to
make me feel this way. I

1143
01:15:45.039 --> 01:15:49.960
totally get it. I remember when
Wow was getting really big, or was

1144
01:15:50.119 --> 01:15:57.279
really big already. Guitar Hero came
out, the original, and I remember

1145
01:15:57.359 --> 01:16:00.119
thinking, now, the game I
might be wrong here, but let's say

1146
01:16:00.159 --> 01:16:04.720
the game was at least was probably
like forty to sixty dollars, and then

1147
01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:10.720
the guitar was another forty to sixty
dollars. So getting Guitar Hero was one

1148
01:16:10.800 --> 01:16:14.439
hundred dollars. It was one hundred
dollar investment. The bundle thing, yeah,

1149
01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:18.560
yes, And all of my uh, all of the people who my

1150
01:16:18.680 --> 01:16:23.399
housemates in college, they all had
Wow subscriptions, and I was like,

1151
01:16:23.520 --> 01:16:28.079
you guys are idiots. I'm not
paying ten dollars a month forever. Anyway,

1152
01:16:28.119 --> 01:16:30.880
I spent one hundred dollars on this
Guitar Hero game, let's all play

1153
01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:36.199
it, and justified Guitar Hero immediately
because I was like, it's a one

1154
01:16:36.319 --> 01:16:40.800
time fee. I'm not spending ten
dollars forever. But if you play Wow

1155
01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:44.279
obsessively for six months and then stop, that's actually a better deal. Like,

1156
01:16:44.680 --> 01:16:47.760
I there's something in my brain that
was like endless money. You're crazy,

1157
01:16:47.880 --> 01:16:53.479
I'll never do it. Didn't Wow
Wow? The Wow cost money you

1158
01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:58.359
had to buy the box for like
fifty bucks, right, wo wow Wow?

1159
01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:02.920
Yes, I believe Yeah, because
there was a product. Yeah,

1160
01:17:03.079 --> 01:17:08.159
that's right. It was additional cost. But I think it was Mansion's cost

1161
01:17:08.239 --> 01:17:11.640
additional money too. Yeah. For
me, it was a subscription that freaked

1162
01:17:11.680 --> 01:17:15.520
me out. Yeah, the idea
of paying forever for it to play a

1163
01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:17.439
game because they knew it, because
they like design it to be the only

1164
01:17:17.520 --> 01:17:20.000
game you would ever want to play
so they could get away with it.

1165
01:17:20.079 --> 01:17:24.239
And it's like, yeah, I
don't think I've ever spent a dollar on

1166
01:17:24.319 --> 01:17:28.239
a subscription to a game like and
I hope I never do. I think

1167
01:17:28.239 --> 01:17:31.239
they'll get there, we'll get you. I don't think I did either get

1168
01:17:31.279 --> 01:17:36.239
you. Speaking of spending money for
games, I spent money on a game

1169
01:17:36.359 --> 01:17:40.720
last week. Was it on game
Pass? It was not. I didn't

1170
01:17:40.800 --> 01:17:45.399
kish it. I feel really good
about it my chat on Twitch. The

1171
01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:47.600
very first thing I do when I
stream a game is they're all like,

1172
01:17:47.680 --> 01:17:51.920
did you chet game pass for this? And I'm always like, no,

1173
01:17:53.279 --> 01:17:57.439
I didn't. Uh. It's called
chance of SNAr. Have you heard of

1174
01:17:57.560 --> 01:18:04.000
this? Like strange game or change? Uh? Chanting like chanting like,

1175
01:18:04.319 --> 01:18:10.439
oh okay, got it. You're
language base. Yeah, it's a puzzle

1176
01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:15.680
game. And you very pretty and
very simple looking visually. You're walking around

1177
01:18:15.840 --> 01:18:23.680
and you come across is it iconography? You come across like stuff language and

1178
01:18:23.800 --> 01:18:27.439
you don't know what it is,
but there'll be images associated with it.

1179
01:18:27.600 --> 01:18:33.399
Let's say two hands like this,
and then there'll be a like a little

1180
01:18:33.439 --> 01:18:38.560
symbol underneath it. And so now
you're associating that symbol with with with what

1181
01:18:38.680 --> 01:18:42.800
you're seeing. And then it lets
you type free type yourself on a keyboard

1182
01:18:42.960 --> 01:18:45.079
what you think this means. Now, there's many things that this could mean.

1183
01:18:45.199 --> 01:18:50.960
It could mean pray, it could
mean touch, it could mean help.

1184
01:18:51.560 --> 01:18:55.880
Right, there's like all these different
assumptions that you can make. So

1185
01:18:56.000 --> 01:19:00.279
you type what you think it means, and then you'll come across people seeking

1186
01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:06.359
the language, and they will speak
what you have interpreted those symbols to mean,

1187
01:19:06.840 --> 01:19:11.199
so they'll be like, yes,
it is a wappy batt limit and

1188
01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:15.920
it's fucking crazy. I started making
wild assumptions, and then at some point

1189
01:19:15.960 --> 01:19:18.560
when I got frustrated because I'm dumb, I started writing titty butt and like

1190
01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:23.800
pooh for the symbols. And then
later on I would like talk to someone

1191
01:19:23.840 --> 01:19:30.880
and they'd be like me, want
to pray titty boob butts gone, And

1192
01:19:30.960 --> 01:19:32.479
I'd be like, Okay, I
have no idea what's going on because I

1193
01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:36.079
fucked up this game, Like,
so is the idea that if you did,

1194
01:19:36.880 --> 01:19:41.520
if you did something that made sense
with what the image was, that

1195
01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:45.319
you will encounter these conversations that make
sense to some degree. Yes, I

1196
01:19:45.399 --> 01:19:49.319
also think that it's a bit of
two halves of a puzzle. This isn't

1197
01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:54.880
enough for you to know if that
symbol means pray or touch. You don't

1198
01:19:54.920 --> 01:19:58.680
know that yet. You're the context
of the conversation. You could probably go

1199
01:19:58.760 --> 01:20:00.000
back and be like, oh,
that means this is school. It's like

1200
01:20:00.039 --> 01:20:02.720
a fun logic puzzle. I love
shit, Like yeah, but also you're

1201
01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:06.119
you're climbing. It's it's a like
a retelling of the Tower of Babel,

1202
01:20:06.199 --> 01:20:11.479
so you're climbing the tower, and
each there's a correct me if I'm wrong,

1203
01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:15.920
Mary, there's a different society living
on each level who then interprets language

1204
01:20:16.000 --> 01:20:20.039
even differently. It's like if you're
climbing a tower where the first tower people

1205
01:20:20.039 --> 01:20:29.640
are speaking Japanese. Japanese like kanji
are very much more interpreted pictorially or at

1206
01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:31.359
least as I understand them, compared
to English, where it's like, oh,

1207
01:20:31.399 --> 01:20:34.800
a letter will represent a sound phonetically. Imagine if you're climbing a tower

1208
01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:39.199
where you're not just trying to build
in the language you just learned, you're

1209
01:20:39.279 --> 01:20:44.560
trying to teach and learn it from
a completely new society that doesn't really interpret

1210
01:20:44.680 --> 01:20:47.840
language the same way. There's there's
a complicated way to do it, which

1211
01:20:47.880 --> 01:20:50.199
is the way you just said it, and I would say the easier way

1212
01:20:50.239 --> 01:20:54.720
to say it is just like,
yes, you're interpreting language as best you

1213
01:20:54.800 --> 01:20:58.680
can, and you're both absorbing the
language and you're also teaching others the language

1214
01:20:58.720 --> 01:21:01.840
as you can see it. But
it is it's at its simplest, it's

1215
01:21:01.920 --> 01:21:08.920
puzzle based learning. It's all logic
based. I'll give you another really good

1216
01:21:08.920 --> 01:21:15.359
example. I went to as sign
and it arrows going left, right,

1217
01:21:15.439 --> 01:21:17.880
and up with symbols obviously, and
I went left and I got to a

1218
01:21:17.920 --> 01:21:21.000
place and it was so obviously a
graveyard, and I was like, this

1219
01:21:21.159 --> 01:21:25.520
symbol has to mean graveyard. But
then I was like, actually, it

1220
01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:29.720
could mean death, it could mean
I don't know, mausoleum, and so

1221
01:21:29.880 --> 01:21:35.000
I like, it wasn't one hundred
percent sure. Later I made these assumptions

1222
01:21:35.199 --> 01:21:38.800
of what it would mean. The
way you solve it, and I find

1223
01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:42.680
this interesting. I like the way
that they encourage you to solve it is

1224
01:21:43.439 --> 01:21:46.159
you have a notebook and you're drawing
the things you're seeing, and so when

1225
01:21:46.199 --> 01:21:49.079
you draw, you're in your notebook. You'll draw the graveyard, and then

1226
01:21:49.079 --> 01:21:54.560
they'll have all these symbols that you've
encountered since you started. If you can

1227
01:21:54.640 --> 01:21:58.000
associate the right symbols with the right
pictures, it will fill in the blanks

1228
01:21:58.119 --> 01:22:01.079
for you and say you have correctly
attributed the correct symbol to this location,

1229
01:22:01.479 --> 01:22:04.720
and yes it's grave you already,
and it'll give you some pieces of the

1230
01:22:04.760 --> 01:22:08.840
puzzle. Some of them are so
much harder to solve, but if you

1231
01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:12.680
could solve some by process of elimination, eventually you can get to the rest,

1232
01:22:12.760 --> 01:22:15.720
So even a dumb dumb like me
was able to eventually be like,

1233
01:22:15.840 --> 01:22:19.159
I only have three symbols left in
three pictures, so I'll just keep moving

1234
01:22:19.199 --> 01:22:23.279
them around and eventually it will tell
me what the word for plant is.

1235
01:22:24.479 --> 01:22:28.439
Okay, so everything you're saying sounds
awesome. Are enjoying this game? Okay?

1236
01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:30.279
I like it. I will say
that it makes me feel dumb.

1237
01:22:30.359 --> 01:22:33.680
I will say that I love logic
puzzles like this, like this is the

1238
01:22:33.720 --> 01:22:38.079
shit I did growing up all the
time, and whenever that gets incorporated into

1239
01:22:38.079 --> 01:22:41.119
a game in a cool way,
I'm all about. I'm literally requesting a

1240
01:22:41.159 --> 01:22:45.680
code right now. I'm on Switch. It runs well. I planned it

1241
01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:51.680
on the Steam and I think it
was seventeen dollars when I bought it,

1242
01:22:51.720 --> 01:22:55.039
and it was really good. I
mean, I've enjoyed it a lot.

1243
01:22:55.119 --> 01:22:57.319
I will say, you knew that
game that came out, I think it

1244
01:22:57.319 --> 01:23:01.159
was last year with the ship and
you had to like remember who killed Yeah,

1245
01:23:02.479 --> 01:23:09.039
yeah year. It reminds me of
Oberdin in the sense that you're you're

1246
01:23:09.119 --> 01:23:12.319
collecting lots of different bits of information
and then you'll use that to be like,

1247
01:23:12.560 --> 01:23:16.119
Okay, this guy sells pots,
so this simple means pottery, this

1248
01:23:16.279 --> 01:23:20.399
simple means sell and things like that, and it does it in lots of

1249
01:23:20.439 --> 01:23:25.880
different ways. Sometimes it's obvious,
sometimes it's not. And there's like sneaky

1250
01:23:25.920 --> 01:23:30.199
puzzles too, Like at some point
you'll come across this machine and you'll be

1251
01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:30.960
like, I don't know how to
operate it. I don't even know what

1252
01:23:31.039 --> 01:23:34.239
to do. And then like maybe
an hour later, you'll be like I

1253
01:23:34.399 --> 01:23:38.920
found a magnifying glass and it does
something to the machine, right, so

1254
01:23:39.000 --> 01:23:43.039
it's like all connected. You will
go into a space and you'll be like

1255
01:23:43.079 --> 01:23:45.560
I have no idea what to do, and you'll you'll come back later.

1256
01:23:45.199 --> 01:23:47.720
You know what this really sounds like
to me? And I always loved was

1257
01:23:47.800 --> 01:23:50.359
do you ever do those puzzles where
it was like, okay, here's a

1258
01:23:50.439 --> 01:23:55.840
paragraph for several sentences, and but
they're all it's like jumbled, and you're

1259
01:23:55.880 --> 01:23:58.840
trying to figure out like they've replaced
like each of the letters with a different

1260
01:23:58.920 --> 01:24:01.039
letter, and you have to figure
out like, okay, well X is

1261
01:24:01.119 --> 01:24:03.760
showing up all over the place,
so that's probably an A or an E.

1262
01:24:04.199 --> 01:24:06.920
And then like it's showing up and
like if there's a one letter word

1263
01:24:06.960 --> 01:24:10.119
it's like, well that has to
be an A, so then I'll okay,

1264
01:24:10.159 --> 01:24:13.000
if X equals A, I'll fill
in all the x's to be a's.

1265
01:24:13.000 --> 01:24:14.680
Do you know what I'm talking about? Like then you figure out like

1266
01:24:14.760 --> 01:24:16.079
what V is. It's like,
okay, now I've got that figured out.

1267
01:24:16.079 --> 01:24:18.319
And in the picture just kind of
like unfolds in front of you,

1268
01:24:18.760 --> 01:24:21.840
like that is such a satisfying thing, and like what you're describing it sounds

1269
01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:25.319
awesome to me, Like I really
really want to TEK. I'm glad.

1270
01:24:25.359 --> 01:24:28.199
I hope you enjoy it. I've
really enjoyed my time with the game,

1271
01:24:28.279 --> 01:24:30.159
but it took me a long time
to get through it. This is not

1272
01:24:30.640 --> 01:24:35.439
a game that I have an instinct
for or I am naturally attuned to being

1273
01:24:35.520 --> 01:24:41.079
able to be good at. But
over time, I was patient and I

1274
01:24:41.279 --> 01:24:44.800
figured it out, and I got
through a good chunk of this game in

1275
01:24:44.920 --> 01:24:46.520
like six hours. I felt really
good with my time playing it. I

1276
01:24:46.560 --> 01:24:49.680
have not beat it. I think
this game is too smart for me,

1277
01:24:49.880 --> 01:24:54.319
and it will probably, I believe, much like Oberdin, I will quit

1278
01:24:54.399 --> 01:24:57.199
because I will get stuck on a
puzzle and I will call it. But

1279
01:24:57.279 --> 01:25:00.640
I have enjoyed every hour that I've
spent with this game, and I do

1280
01:25:00.760 --> 01:25:03.000
think it's it's also pretty to look
at, it's nice to listen to.

1281
01:25:03.279 --> 01:25:08.880
It's a it's a very well constructed
game. It reminds me of a last

1282
01:25:08.960 --> 01:25:12.239
year had Cased the Golden Idol,
which I recommended vehemently. I don't think

1283
01:25:12.239 --> 01:25:14.560
you guys ended up playing it,
but you should because it got really good

1284
01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:17.119
delC this year as well. But
it's like a similar thing. It's like

1285
01:25:17.479 --> 01:25:20.560
you're solving a murder mystery using to
fill in the blanks in a paragraph.

1286
01:25:20.720 --> 01:25:25.800
But it's like a logic puzzle as
well. But in the sense it reminds

1287
01:25:25.840 --> 01:25:29.920
me of Chance of Saynar, because
you're like, if I'm getting if I'm

1288
01:25:29.960 --> 01:25:33.880
really stuck to what Mary said,
I probably assumed something incorrectly. And it's

1289
01:25:34.119 --> 01:25:40.520
language based, so it's very easy
to assume something based on your understanding of

1290
01:25:40.560 --> 01:25:45.640
these pictures or these words. So
it's like it's same with what was it

1291
01:25:45.720 --> 01:25:48.239
called Baba? As you, I
was like, I probably fucked up.

1292
01:25:48.279 --> 01:25:53.720
I've probably just like made an assumption
somewhere and it bit me in the ass.

1293
01:25:54.600 --> 01:25:58.199
But yeah, Chance SNAr has been
great so far. Dan, I'm

1294
01:25:58.199 --> 01:26:00.159
sorry I'm not playing Switch I played
on steam Deck. Okay, well,

1295
01:26:00.399 --> 01:26:02.680
I've heard it runs well and Switch
and looking at the art style, I

1296
01:26:02.720 --> 01:26:05.399
can imagine it does. Like I've
got a good amount of flights coming up

1297
01:26:05.760 --> 01:26:08.439
in the rest of the year,
and I think it's going to be a

1298
01:26:08.600 --> 01:26:12.279
great flight game. Awesome. Yeah, Mario Wonder and Chance of SNAr.

1299
01:26:12.399 --> 01:26:14.640
Now, I got some stuff I
want to play on the go. Yeah,

1300
01:26:14.880 --> 01:26:16.800
I think I'm going to play it
on my steam Deck. The only

1301
01:26:16.840 --> 01:26:21.560
thing I've been playing on my Switch
is the Pickmen, which I keep playing

1302
01:26:21.920 --> 01:26:29.079
occasionally in my free time. I
haven't been as committed as you, Dan,

1303
01:26:29.199 --> 01:26:31.520
I haven't one hundred percented. I've
only one hundred percented one area,

1304
01:26:31.720 --> 01:26:35.399
but I'm getting through it. I
think it's really nice to just to play

1305
01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:41.920
a day and Pick Men. It's
a It's a great time spending game because

1306
01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:45.039
you don't feel stressed ever, Like
I never wind down playing that game.

1307
01:26:45.520 --> 01:26:46.760
I mean maybe that, Like I've
heard some people say they gets stressed by

1308
01:26:46.760 --> 01:26:49.439
the Dan Dori stuff, but I
was more just like excited about it.

1309
01:26:49.520 --> 01:26:53.399
You know, I never felt stressed. It was Dandia doesn't freak me out.

1310
01:26:53.560 --> 01:26:57.560
I love trying to organize and do
things properly. I don't like it

1311
01:26:57.840 --> 01:27:01.720
when I accidentally kill twenty pickmen.
I get really stressed when I'm a murderer.

1312
01:27:02.239 --> 01:27:08.720
Yes, when I started sent fifty
pickmen to their death, I feel

1313
01:27:08.760 --> 01:27:13.039
that in my core. But I
do not get stressed if I'm organizing them

1314
01:27:13.159 --> 01:27:15.760
properly enough. It's so funny,
like I wonder, like you know,

1315
01:27:15.760 --> 01:27:17.119
because it tells you the day,
like you're on day twenty or whatever.

1316
01:27:18.760 --> 01:27:24.199
I have no idea if I am
ahead, equal, or behind other people,

1317
01:27:24.279 --> 01:27:27.039
and I don't care. It doesn't
it doesn't give you any guff of

1318
01:27:27.119 --> 01:27:30.159
whether or not you're doing good at
it. Mike, are you enjoying Pickman?

1319
01:27:30.199 --> 01:27:32.560
I feel like it's just such a
casual, enjoyable game. Yeah,

1320
01:27:32.640 --> 01:27:38.560
No, it's great. It's a
it's definitely like cathartic therapeutic to play.

1321
01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:43.319
It's very simple. I've never had
anything like super difficult. But that's not

1322
01:27:43.600 --> 01:27:46.600
really the point. I'm it's not
thus far, but like I'm enjoying it

1323
01:27:46.720 --> 01:27:54.159
just from like a collected thon perspective
of it's it's what do you want?

1324
01:27:54.199 --> 01:27:57.720
What's the word I'm looking for.
I find it to be very meditative,

1325
01:27:57.880 --> 01:28:00.680
especially after some other things I'm playing. I want to playing it. It's

1326
01:28:00.920 --> 01:28:03.600
just it's also just a perfect game
for the Switch. So yeah, I'm

1327
01:28:03.640 --> 01:28:09.159
enjoying it a lot now when I
am very curious to hear, I feel

1328
01:28:09.159 --> 01:28:12.039
like I got a little taste of
it last night tuning into a certain stream

1329
01:28:13.119 --> 01:28:18.880
Mary he played some Armored Core I
did. Now, I want to preface

1330
01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:25.720
this with the understanding that Dan and
I made a deal last episode, which

1331
01:28:25.880 --> 01:28:32.159
was I would play Armored Core if
Dan played Sea of Stars. That's correct,

1332
01:28:32.720 --> 01:28:39.479
and I fulfilled my promise. I
downloaded Armored Core. I read one

1333
01:28:39.560 --> 01:28:43.399
and a half pages of the booklet
that they give you to help you.

1334
01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:47.640
Then I got bored and I streamed
learning how to play it. This game

1335
01:28:47.800 --> 01:28:53.920
is very difficult and it has a
seep learning curve, and I am forever

1336
01:28:54.079 --> 01:29:00.159
grateful to my chat on stream who
just literally and very patiently told me what

1337
01:29:00.319 --> 01:29:04.239
to do to learn how to play
Armored Corps. They were like, you're

1338
01:29:04.319 --> 01:29:09.439
on the ground too much. You
need to hit what is it the right

1339
01:29:09.560 --> 01:29:13.439
stick in so that you can focus
on an enemy and lock on. Then

1340
01:29:13.520 --> 01:29:15.880
don't ever move the right stick again. They were teaching me to use my

1341
01:29:16.000 --> 01:29:20.760
missiles more. They were encouraging me
to get like up close and personal to

1342
01:29:20.960 --> 01:29:26.079
a boss so that I wasn't getting
bopped so much. And because of that

1343
01:29:26.279 --> 01:29:30.439
experience, I actually had a wonderful
time playing Armored Corps. And I fully,

1344
01:29:30.760 --> 01:29:32.720
like, I am, I understand
why you guys are so stoked about

1345
01:29:32.760 --> 01:29:36.479
this game. It's really fun.
I worry that without that experience, without

1346
01:29:36.560 --> 01:29:41.119
people guiding me and encouraging me and
telling me like, it's okay, it's

1347
01:29:41.199 --> 01:29:44.239
very normal to die nine times at
this boss, I probably would have gotten

1348
01:29:44.279 --> 01:29:46.880
frustrated and thought I was really bad
at this game. But I had a

1349
01:29:46.960 --> 01:29:49.479
lot of encouragement. I had a
lot of people who were like cheering me

1350
01:29:49.600 --> 01:29:54.159
on. And I burned that first
boss, and after I think I got

1351
01:29:54.279 --> 01:29:59.720
him about seven tries. And then
I started pimping my ride. I made

1352
01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:04.399
a buffalo Bills styled mech He's like
blue and red. I gave him a

1353
01:30:04.479 --> 01:30:10.000
tramp stamp. He has sharks for
eyes. He looks badass, give really

1354
01:30:10.079 --> 01:30:12.920
bulky arms and little bitty legs.
I mean, I was having a great

1355
01:30:13.000 --> 01:30:15.439
time designing this guy. And then
like sending that on missions, Dan,

1356
01:30:15.560 --> 01:30:19.399
you visited me on my stream,
I found this, Uh, I did

1357
01:30:19.439 --> 01:30:24.800
this mission where you have to get
this at At creature and just take it

1358
01:30:24.920 --> 01:30:28.439
down from the inside. And it's
huge. It's like a building. Yeah,

1359
01:30:28.600 --> 01:30:31.079
it's like a Shadows creature. I
was gonna say Shadow the Classes,

1360
01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:34.520
but actually the scale is way bigger
than anything in Shadows Classes, bigger than

1361
01:30:34.920 --> 01:30:39.079
Shadow of the Casses, and you're
way more powerful, Like I'm not I'm

1362
01:30:39.119 --> 01:30:42.760
not like trying to climb if it's
fur I'm shooting up there. I'm like

1363
01:30:42.920 --> 01:30:45.479
shooting rockets out of my ass.
I was four weapons on your shoulders and

1364
01:30:45.560 --> 01:30:50.600
your arms or weapons that you're attacking
it from every angle. It's really fun.

1365
01:30:50.720 --> 01:30:57.880
But then I think what was really
cool about that particular mission is that

1366
01:30:57.960 --> 01:31:00.039
once you kill it, and that
is very difficult. I died a couple

1367
01:31:00.039 --> 01:31:02.880
of times trying to take it down, and when I finally did it,

1368
01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:05.920
they were like, you gotta get
out of there. She's gonna blow.

1369
01:31:06.079 --> 01:31:10.680
And I was like, what's gonna
blow? And everyone's like get away from

1370
01:31:11.319 --> 01:31:14.239
the thing, and I was like, but it's so big, how do

1371
01:31:14.279 --> 01:31:15.479
you get away from it? And
they were like, jump off of it,

1372
01:31:15.720 --> 01:31:18.439
and I was like, what anywhere
but here? Just get off this

1373
01:31:18.600 --> 01:31:24.239
exploding thing. Giant explosions everywhere,
and so at the last minute, I

1374
01:31:24.319 --> 01:31:26.720
was like, Okay, I'll jump
off, and as I jump off,

1375
01:31:26.880 --> 01:31:30.800
I moved the camera over and it
just starts exploding behind me. It was

1376
01:31:30.560 --> 01:31:33.640
really cool. It felt like a
movie. It felt like I was playing

1377
01:31:33.680 --> 01:31:42.560
Transformers. I was kind of overwhelmed
from the quality experience I had. I

1378
01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:47.359
never felt like I couldn't do it
or that it was too much for me.

1379
01:31:48.119 --> 01:31:51.680
And that was the stigma that I
have associated with Armored Core. It's

1380
01:31:51.840 --> 01:31:56.920
entire existence, which is it's for
a specific breed of person. It's extremely

1381
01:31:57.039 --> 01:31:59.720
difficult, and you're not gonna understand
it. You're gonna have to, like

1382
01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:01.399
you make your mech every time you
want to do a different boss fight,

1383
01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:04.960
which sounds miserable for someone like me. But it's not like that at all.

1384
01:32:05.920 --> 01:32:10.039
It's actually like a lot of up
and then if you die a lot,

1385
01:32:10.119 --> 01:32:12.880
you're like, okay, maybe I
should change out my legs. Wait.

1386
01:32:12.920 --> 01:32:14.880
I don't know if you've seen the
like load out stuff, but like

1387
01:32:14.960 --> 01:32:16.319
you can save, like if you
know, like this is my super fast

1388
01:32:16.359 --> 01:32:18.680
guy with a bunch of missiles and
stuff, you can save that and then

1389
01:32:18.720 --> 01:32:21.680
you can experiment with other stuff.
But it's my slow guy. He's got

1390
01:32:21.760 --> 01:32:26.000
more powerful equipment, but he's a
tank. He doesn't need to fly around

1391
01:32:26.079 --> 01:32:29.359
much. He's just bazookas and like
and that shit just gets better and better.

1392
01:32:29.399 --> 01:32:32.560
There's so much stuff that unlocks and
your experience I think completely mirror is

1393
01:32:32.640 --> 01:32:35.680
mine so far where it's like when
in not thinking it was for me.

1394
01:32:36.079 --> 01:32:39.560
I streamed it and I did have
the chat help me with stuff. I'm

1395
01:32:39.600 --> 01:32:41.319
like, oh, okay, I
see okay, so if I want to

1396
01:32:41.359 --> 01:32:43.960
do the multilock thing, I do
it like that, Oh cool cool.

1397
01:32:44.000 --> 01:32:45.479
I found myself getting more and more
into it, and then I got to

1398
01:32:45.560 --> 01:32:50.000
that level with the big building a
tat thing had the exact same thing as

1399
01:32:50.039 --> 01:32:53.439
you, where it's like it's blowing
up and I like flew away from it

1400
01:32:53.680 --> 01:32:56.720
and I turned the camera around and
like my jaw dropped and I was like

1401
01:32:57.359 --> 01:33:02.119
this kicks ass. Like yeah,
it's really exciting. And it's enigmatic to

1402
01:33:02.239 --> 01:33:05.800
do with chat because they're like rooting
you on. These are very difficult,

1403
01:33:06.279 --> 01:33:10.800
larger than life enemies. When you
finally do take them down, everyone was

1404
01:33:10.880 --> 01:33:15.680
super supportive of me. I think
I think I've discovered another value of chat

1405
01:33:15.720 --> 01:33:18.720
that I didn't really understand before.
I have a very strict no backseat gaming

1406
01:33:18.960 --> 01:33:21.079
rule when I stream, I don't
want people to tell me how to game,

1407
01:33:21.159 --> 01:33:24.319
just like let me lose. It
was like the first time where I

1408
01:33:24.439 --> 01:33:27.399
was like, tell me everything.
Oh, well, all your tips,

1409
01:33:27.560 --> 01:33:30.760
I want tricks. I want to
know how you take this sucker down.

1410
01:33:30.079 --> 01:33:33.439
They were giving me all the secrets
and it was saving me, and I

1411
01:33:33.640 --> 01:33:36.920
was like, actually, you guys
are my gurus, you are my mentors.

1412
01:33:38.920 --> 01:33:42.920
You are guiding me on this journey
of Machtum, and I just kind

1413
01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:46.439
of felt like we all agreed simultaneously
that this was a really cool journey for

1414
01:33:46.560 --> 01:33:49.720
me to go down, and I
felt rallied, I felt supported. I

1415
01:33:49.760 --> 01:33:53.960
don't know, it's a dope experience. Those are the missions. You get

1416
01:33:53.960 --> 01:33:59.279
a lot of money. You get
like one hundred thousand whatever dollars every time

1417
01:33:59.319 --> 01:34:01.680
you do a mission, and so
it's very easy to buy stuff. And

1418
01:34:01.800 --> 01:34:05.239
I thought it was neat that there's
no punishment for selling something, and you

1419
01:34:05.319 --> 01:34:10.479
sell it exact same money back,
So if I buy something and I don't

1420
01:34:10.560 --> 01:34:13.399
like it, you could just refund
it. It's not a big deal.

1421
01:34:14.079 --> 01:34:16.039
I thought that part was gonna suck. Like even once I started liking the

1422
01:34:16.079 --> 01:34:19.840
moment to moment action, as I
started seeing things on lock and stuff like

1423
01:34:19.880 --> 01:34:23.000
that, Oh you got these new
generator options, you got all this,

1424
01:34:23.079 --> 01:34:25.520
I was like, Oh, here's
where I'm gonna fall off. It's fun

1425
01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:27.960
to play, but then I don't
want to fucking tweak my mech and go

1426
01:34:28.079 --> 01:34:30.880
to the garage and all this.
But kind of isn't that bad at all,

1427
01:34:31.039 --> 01:34:34.319
Like that's really really fun, you
know, like finding like, okay,

1428
01:34:34.319 --> 01:34:35.960
I want to max out, like
I don't know if you've got into

1429
01:34:35.960 --> 01:34:39.920
the full Like I'm trying to get
the een load and the weight at the

1430
01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:43.000
right level where I'm maxing things out
and all this like, but it never

1431
01:34:43.079 --> 01:34:45.520
gets overwhelming. It's always rewarding.
And then you will find those builds and

1432
01:34:45.560 --> 01:34:48.199
then well when you start like color
coding your builds, like you got your

1433
01:34:48.319 --> 01:34:50.279
your red and you know, you
got your guy with the shark face and

1434
01:34:50.319 --> 01:34:55.439
everything. Once you save him as
you know Stevie Mecman or you know whatever.

1435
01:34:55.800 --> 01:34:59.119
Now I'm gonna make you know tank
Boy and giving him all of his

1436
01:34:59.239 --> 01:35:00.960
guns or goal old and then his
head is you know green and this like

1437
01:35:01.399 --> 01:35:04.479
you can recognize them on site and
you learn like, oh, this mission.

1438
01:35:04.760 --> 01:35:06.760
From the description, it sounds like
it's going to be a real kind

1439
01:35:06.800 --> 01:35:10.279
of fast, aerial dog fight type
thing. I know the guy for that.

1440
01:35:10.359 --> 01:35:13.880
I'm pulling this guy out of the
closet like it's it's so fucking cool

1441
01:35:13.960 --> 01:35:16.000
and so rewarding, and you're right, it is. I maybe undersold the

1442
01:35:16.159 --> 01:35:20.760
the streaming aspect of it because it
is that like, you know, everyone

1443
01:35:20.800 --> 01:35:24.760
around, everyone's around a craps table
and everyone's winning and everyone's cheering. You

1444
01:35:24.800 --> 01:35:26.520
know, it's just like, yeah, yeah, we did it and we

1445
01:35:26.600 --> 01:35:30.920
made him. Like it's so fucking
good. It feels very weak. It

1446
01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:34.239
doesn't feel very mea. It feels
like we all rallied and I mean I

1447
01:35:34.399 --> 01:35:39.039
really had to push the buttons,
but we actually we're all agreeing on tactics

1448
01:35:39.119 --> 01:35:41.920
together. So it's almost like I
had like a general in my ear that

1449
01:35:42.079 --> 01:35:45.359
was like getting really close. You
know, they can't shoot you if you're

1450
01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:48.680
under them the whole time. That
was the advice I needed for that first

1451
01:35:49.000 --> 01:35:53.239
boss fight. And so for people
who are listening who are like, I

1452
01:35:53.359 --> 01:35:55.960
don't know, that sounds like a
lot and I'm not going to stream it

1453
01:35:56.159 --> 01:36:00.479
right, look up some guides and
see what you can learn, because I

1454
01:36:00.560 --> 01:36:02.199
do think it would have been overwhelming
for me, and I don't think I

1455
01:36:02.239 --> 01:36:06.479
would have had the glowing reaction that
I have if I would have just suffered

1456
01:36:06.520 --> 01:36:12.880
through that boss fight for an hour
because people were telling me tactics to getting

1457
01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:17.640
that boss done. I felt really
vindicated and really valued with my time for

1458
01:36:17.760 --> 01:36:21.520
playing it and being able to just
upgrade my machine and moving on to the

1459
01:36:21.600 --> 01:36:25.920
mission. So the boss fights are
difficult. I actually think that game is

1460
01:36:26.039 --> 01:36:30.640
very difficult, but it's achievable if
you know the strategies for how to execute

1461
01:36:30.680 --> 01:36:33.239
them and if you've designed your mech
well. And I also just think even

1462
01:36:33.319 --> 01:36:36.479
when I was dying, I wasn't
that frustrated. It's actually pretty fun.

1463
01:36:36.560 --> 01:36:41.960
You kind of like ice skate around
like a crazy hockey player. You're just

1464
01:36:42.119 --> 01:36:46.399
on these like little ice knives,
running around, sorting people and shooting someone

1465
01:36:46.479 --> 01:36:51.119
in rockets coming out of every hole. It's nuts. It's so much more

1466
01:36:51.199 --> 01:36:55.600
fast paced than I think I ever
considered Armor Corps would be. And like,

1467
01:36:55.800 --> 01:36:58.560
like like you said, when you
die, it's never like I never

1468
01:36:58.640 --> 01:37:00.439
got too frustrated. Like there's that
falter fight at the end of chapter one,

1469
01:37:00.560 --> 01:37:02.920
and it's he whooped my ass several
times, and then I was like,

1470
01:37:03.279 --> 01:37:06.119
okay, I'm I'm having trouble getting
through a shield, Like he puts

1471
01:37:06.199 --> 01:37:09.000
that shield up and I'm having trouble, and it's like, okay, well,

1472
01:37:09.079 --> 01:37:12.159
let's put a much of fucking plasma
miss. I'll buy those plasma miss

1473
01:37:12.279 --> 01:37:14.800
launchers because I think that's gonna be
good against those shields. And you go

1474
01:37:14.880 --> 01:37:15.840
in there and you realize the next
time, like, oh I died,

1475
01:37:15.960 --> 01:37:18.119
but holy shit, I got him
like two thirds of the way down.

1476
01:37:18.239 --> 01:37:20.520
And the next time, you know, it is patterns better. You kind

1477
01:37:20.520 --> 01:37:24.279
of make some tweaks in your guy, and like it feels like you're making

1478
01:37:24.319 --> 01:37:27.319
progress even when you're dying. Baltis
the first one. I was like,

1479
01:37:27.520 --> 01:37:30.840
maybe I should go against my instincts
and get in his face with my sword

1480
01:37:30.039 --> 01:37:33.359
and ship. And then I started
fucking up the sword like when you stagger

1481
01:37:33.920 --> 01:37:36.039
and I mean, like a tough
boss whatever, and you get in you

1482
01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:40.640
just like give him the full payload
and the sword and all that shit is.

1483
01:37:41.239 --> 01:37:43.399
It is one of the most satisfying
games I think I've ever played.

1484
01:37:44.439 --> 01:37:48.199
I think it's very enjoyable. I'm
I'm grateful for the experience, and I'm

1485
01:37:48.239 --> 01:37:51.359
glad that I was encouraged to play
it, and so it was a really

1486
01:37:51.520 --> 01:37:56.239
nice exchange for me to agree to
play Armored Core six for you to play

1487
01:37:56.319 --> 01:37:59.000
Sea of Stars. So what's your
Sea of Stars experience been like? Dan,

1488
01:38:00.159 --> 01:38:03.520
Now, you are probably suspecting that
I didn't play it at all because

1489
01:38:03.560 --> 01:38:06.000
I don't have it on the list
here. No, it's not on the

1490
01:38:06.039 --> 01:38:09.439
list. I've noticed that I can't. I did it. Is not I

1491
01:38:09.520 --> 01:38:13.760
did not want to be disingenuous,
but I did play it. Okay,

1492
01:38:14.000 --> 01:38:17.279
So maybe you're surprised there. I
the reason I didn't put it on the

1493
01:38:17.359 --> 01:38:24.119
list is because I I do apologize. My experience is not as robust as

1494
01:38:24.239 --> 01:38:26.960
yours was with Armored Cores. It's
not that I didn't like it. It

1495
01:38:27.079 --> 01:38:30.239
is not that I didn't like it. It's I was like, all right,

1496
01:38:30.439 --> 01:38:32.359
I finished one of the things.
I finished Armored Cores. I was

1497
01:38:32.439 --> 01:38:34.319
like, I was, It's like, I'm ready for a new game.

1498
01:38:34.560 --> 01:38:38.159
Let's do it. Mary got me
excited about to see Stars. I said

1499
01:38:38.159 --> 01:38:40.760
I was gonna play it. We're
gonna do it. Went to Ben Hanson's

1500
01:38:40.880 --> 01:38:44.039
place one night. It's like Sunday
night came back. It was like ten

1501
01:38:44.079 --> 01:38:45.359
o'clock. I was a little drunk, and I was like, all right,

1502
01:38:45.880 --> 01:38:54.840
now I'm gonna but the switch in
there a little toasty and I start

1503
01:38:54.920 --> 01:38:59.039
playing. Were thinking like uh oh
yeah this is uh yeah, this is

1504
01:38:59.199 --> 01:39:01.600
this is good. This is man. These graphics are really graphics are awesome.

1505
01:39:01.960 --> 01:39:04.800
Oh the sound. The sounds really
got gotten some of the battle stuff

1506
01:39:04.840 --> 01:39:10.199
and everything, And it was like
I was expecting it to be a little,

1507
01:39:10.399 --> 01:39:12.960
you know, like stories. It's
an RBG. Any RBG is gonna

1508
01:39:12.960 --> 01:39:15.520
be a little heavy on story stuff
early on. Yeah, I just think

1509
01:39:15.920 --> 01:39:19.880
I was not in the right spot
as far as like many drinks deep at

1510
01:39:19.920 --> 01:39:25.960
that point, and I remember like
liking it, and as far as I

1511
01:39:26.079 --> 01:39:29.960
remember, I went to bed after
I played C Stars. Next time I

1512
01:39:30.000 --> 01:39:32.239
loaded up my switch, it was
on the main menu from Mario Kart eight

1513
01:39:32.319 --> 01:39:36.359
Deluxe. So at some point while
I was drunk, I was like,

1514
01:39:36.720 --> 01:39:40.800
oh, this seems pretty good.
But I just randomly do a Grand Prix

1515
01:39:40.880 --> 01:39:45.399
of Mario Kart, which I ever
do randomly, so I guess I did

1516
01:39:45.600 --> 01:39:47.640
it. Switched over to Mario Kart, and then the next day I woke

1517
01:39:47.680 --> 01:39:50.279
up and I had Moral Kombat one
code, and that was just like,

1518
01:39:50.520 --> 01:39:56.159
okay, well I know what I'm
doing now. I apologized. It was

1519
01:39:56.279 --> 01:40:00.319
an earnest effort. There were the
first conspiring. You completed your end of

1520
01:40:00.359 --> 01:40:03.119
the bargain, which was playing it. And I also will agree that we

1521
01:40:03.680 --> 01:40:08.000
made this bet because we actually both
knew they were both risks in the sense

1522
01:40:08.039 --> 01:40:10.560
that you were like, I don't
know if you will like Armored Cores,

1523
01:40:10.600 --> 01:40:13.159
but I think you will. And
I said the same thing, which is

1524
01:40:13.479 --> 01:40:16.359
you and I are both dewey and
see us Stars is super talky, so

1525
01:40:16.600 --> 01:40:19.000
it is a huge risk that you'll
like it, but I think you'll like

1526
01:40:19.119 --> 01:40:21.960
it, So it wouldn't hurt my
feelings if you did play it and then

1527
01:40:23.079 --> 01:40:26.479
turned out it's too talky and you
can't get into it. So I don't

1528
01:40:26.479 --> 01:40:29.720
know if that's the case yet,
but I definitely could see that this is

1529
01:40:29.840 --> 01:40:32.560
not a game to play when you're
feeling distracted. Yeah, And I think

1530
01:40:32.640 --> 01:40:34.680
that, like, you know,
next time I have a gap and I'm

1531
01:40:34.680 --> 01:40:36.960
looking for someone to play. Like, I liked everything I played and saw.

1532
01:40:38.039 --> 01:40:40.960
I mean it might have been a
half hour or forty five minutes maybe,

1533
01:40:41.000 --> 01:40:42.680
but like I remember thinking like,
oh man, they really kind of

1534
01:40:42.760 --> 01:40:45.159
nailed to look at this like I
like the isometric, you know, like

1535
01:40:45.640 --> 01:40:49.000
the it's very chrono trigger. But
I prefer the perspective of this more than

1536
01:40:49.079 --> 01:40:51.960
the top down. It's very sharp
looking, like everything. I think they

1537
01:40:53.000 --> 01:40:56.319
did a good quality of life for
chrono trigger people. So, people who

1538
01:40:56.359 --> 01:41:00.960
are chrono trigger enthusiasts, this is
a game you should try now, people

1539
01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:05.119
who are like thinking about playing a
game. This game is not for everyone.

1540
01:41:05.520 --> 01:41:11.760
No, like JRPG of this style
could possibly be. It's too heavy

1541
01:41:11.880 --> 01:41:15.920
on the story and it's very it
has a very slow start, so that

1542
01:41:15.960 --> 01:41:20.159
seems reasonable. I will also admit
to you that since we recorded that and

1543
01:41:20.199 --> 01:41:24.600
I told you how much I love
See of Stars, I keep playing Pickman

1544
01:41:26.680 --> 01:41:30.600
instead. And I have an obvious
choice where I could play See of Stars

1545
01:41:30.680 --> 01:41:34.359
or I could play Pickman. But
Pickman doesn't require any brain juice. It

1546
01:41:34.560 --> 01:41:38.600
really does not. When I play
See of Stars, I have to think

1547
01:41:38.640 --> 01:41:42.680
about my choices. I have to
think about my characters. I care about

1548
01:41:42.720 --> 01:41:46.880
them. Oh my gosh. The
timing of how you attack and stuff.

1549
01:41:46.880 --> 01:41:53.439
It's all you have to pay attention
Pickman. Listen, I got like I

1550
01:41:53.560 --> 01:41:57.760
got like a hundred reds. I
can burn through those bad boys and I

1551
01:41:57.840 --> 01:42:00.239
could just pluck more. They're free. Yeah, they really are. Like

1552
01:42:00.359 --> 01:42:03.840
the world. It's like a fucking
old five flowers or whatever. I'll just

1553
01:42:04.079 --> 01:42:10.560
get some flowers like they are disposable. Sorry, and like that's just the

1554
01:42:10.680 --> 01:42:14.279
way the Pickman world is. So
I like that I can play that not

1555
01:42:14.760 --> 01:42:17.720
stressed. So I've been playing a
lot more Pickman. I'll say a couple

1556
01:42:17.760 --> 01:42:21.319
of things I did see that I
do appreciate are It always kind of bugged

1557
01:42:21.319 --> 01:42:25.520
me, especially with the load times
were involved in old JRPGs where it's like

1558
01:42:25.520 --> 01:42:28.920
you'd be walking around an overworld and
like sh you know, it goes into

1559
01:42:28.920 --> 01:42:30.520
the battle and you gotta wait for
a while for all the animations and the

1560
01:42:30.560 --> 01:42:33.760
music and all that stuff. I
do like the just in the field nature

1561
01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:36.880
of Cstars where's like a guy jumped
out from behind a bush and then you're

1562
01:42:36.880 --> 01:42:41.439
fighting him. You know, it's
like there's not that transition and uh.

1563
01:42:41.720 --> 01:42:44.520
And you've mentioned that the paper Mario
type combat. I always like that.

1564
01:42:44.680 --> 01:42:46.239
That gets me way more engaged in
like a turn based system. So it

1565
01:42:46.359 --> 01:42:51.520
was holding up as you promised,
and I wish I had more robust experience

1566
01:42:51.600 --> 01:42:56.680
with it, but it does seem
it does seem very good. So I

1567
01:42:57.039 --> 01:43:00.880
hope you on a more sober evening
can give it a shot. I do

1568
01:43:00.000 --> 01:43:05.079
think it's worth playing, but I
agree it's it's not for any random night.

1569
01:43:05.119 --> 01:43:08.680
It just takes too much idea,
It takes too much, too much

1570
01:43:08.800 --> 01:43:11.439
energy. It needs to be something
like Thursday night, I got nothing going

1571
01:43:11.479 --> 01:43:12.880
on. It's like, all right, I'm just gonna sit down for a

1572
01:43:12.880 --> 01:43:16.880
few hours and try this. Yep, yep, what the old game?

1573
01:43:17.439 --> 01:43:24.039
What is it? Sunk? Oh? I started that too. Yeah,

1574
01:43:24.319 --> 01:43:30.399
so I haven't played any of the
expansion yet Phantom Liberty that apparently triggers I

1575
01:43:30.520 --> 01:43:38.439
started that. So the expansion is
launching alongside the game's like biggest patch yet,

1576
01:43:38.600 --> 01:43:43.359
Patch two point zero, which completely
kind of rethinks the progression system,

1577
01:43:43.479 --> 01:43:49.159
the perks, the attributes, along
with improved vehicle combat, better combat enemy

1578
01:43:49.279 --> 01:43:54.840
AI. If you can't tell,
it's quite an array of changes they've made

1579
01:43:54.920 --> 01:43:59.600
to the game. I started a
new game from the beginning, and I

1580
01:44:00.159 --> 01:44:03.960
already and I think I played.
I forget how many hours I played the

1581
01:44:04.000 --> 01:44:09.479
other night, but I'm much more
into the game than I was the first

1582
01:44:09.520 --> 01:44:13.319
time around. So I played like
four hours the first time around twenty twenty.

1583
01:44:14.119 --> 01:44:16.199
Even apart from just the technical stuff
or the bugs, I was just

1584
01:44:16.359 --> 01:44:20.520
I don't know. I was finding
it a bit boring. The combat wasn't

1585
01:44:20.560 --> 01:44:23.800
doing much for me. I was
getting hacked too much and didn't have enough

1586
01:44:23.840 --> 01:44:29.800
options to counter it. But the
way that they've redone the progression systems,

1587
01:44:30.079 --> 01:44:35.760
it's just much more involved skill trees
attached to each attribute and it's easier to

1588
01:44:35.880 --> 01:44:42.319
parse. I'm ranking up what feels
like much more often. I'm ranking up

1589
01:44:42.359 --> 01:44:45.520
at like what feels like a Skyrim
pace. Well, so if you started

1590
01:44:45.600 --> 01:44:47.680
a new one, like, do
you because there's the new relic tree,

1591
01:44:47.960 --> 01:44:49.880
like do you have that from the
beginning or do you need to go?

1592
01:44:50.159 --> 01:44:55.159
I can't remember that opened up?
It's tied to a story mission, okay,

1593
01:44:55.159 --> 01:44:57.439
Because yeah, I did start with
Phantom Liberty. I did the thing

1594
01:44:57.439 --> 01:45:00.119
because I played thirty hours of it
back when it came out, and I

1595
01:45:00.199 --> 01:45:01.880
didn't have a lot of technical issues. I was one of the lucky ones,

1596
01:45:01.920 --> 01:45:03.960
I guess, but there was enough
where it's like, yeah, the

1597
01:45:03.960 --> 01:45:08.239
combat wasn't super engaging whatever, So
I fell off and when I went into

1598
01:45:08.279 --> 01:45:11.560
this, I started a new game, but it gives you the option where

1599
01:45:11.560 --> 01:45:14.720
it's like, Okay, do you
want to start from the beginning beginning or

1600
01:45:14.800 --> 01:45:16.319
do you want to get past this
like opening kind of high East and the

1601
01:45:16.439 --> 01:45:19.319
story stuff and start there, Like
I don't know if you did you go

1602
01:45:19.439 --> 01:45:23.079
from very very beginning, Mike,
Yeah, I did a new game,

1603
01:45:23.359 --> 01:45:26.199
Okay, I just I didn't give
it the I wanted to give it like

1604
01:45:26.359 --> 01:45:30.199
the full shake down this time.
And I'm loving it. Yeah. It's

1605
01:45:30.319 --> 01:45:33.640
like at the beginning Fantom Liberty,
there are some like bigger combat sequences,

1606
01:45:33.880 --> 01:45:38.199
and I remember, like I was
planning today and I was like, I

1607
01:45:38.319 --> 01:45:42.680
don't remember the original game, like
felm, this good in terms of first

1608
01:45:42.720 --> 01:45:45.960
person shooting, Like it's uh,
I'm definitely liking it a lot more.

1609
01:45:46.199 --> 01:45:48.479
I'm glad I did the skip thing. Like if you have played through that

1610
01:45:48.600 --> 01:45:51.960
stuff like that opening, you know, first few hours of the story stuff

1611
01:45:51.960 --> 01:45:56.439
of you know, stuff with Jackie
and the Voodoo Boys and the heist and

1612
01:45:56.439 --> 01:45:59.680
all that stuff, then go ahead
and skip ahead. I mean it gives

1613
01:45:59.720 --> 01:46:01.000
you, you know, it allocates
some staff points and stuff like that and

1614
01:46:01.119 --> 01:46:03.520
kind of gets your right to the
new stuff. But it also gives you

1615
01:46:03.640 --> 01:46:08.199
like you can go do all the
main game stuff as well. That's all

1616
01:46:08.279 --> 01:46:11.239
there. Yeah, so I feel
like I'm starting a new game without having

1617
01:46:11.279 --> 01:46:14.000
to go through like a bunch of
story I've already seen. Yeah, because

1618
01:46:14.000 --> 01:46:20.079
it adds adds the new district Dogtown, which I believe is added in the

1619
01:46:20.479 --> 01:46:26.199
two point zero patch as well.
I think it just you won't be interacting

1620
01:46:26.239 --> 01:46:31.039
with the actual Phantom Liberty. There's
I mean, plot wise, I think

1621
01:46:31.119 --> 01:46:35.640
it's I don't think it's a spoiler
to say it basically like the President's plane

1622
01:46:35.720 --> 01:46:40.079
has been brought down in Dogtown.
It's a skate from New York, sort

1623
01:46:40.119 --> 01:46:44.119
if you're going into Hacked, and
yeah, it's John Carpenter. It's cyberpunk

1624
01:46:44.239 --> 01:46:51.119
via John Carpenter. But Dogtown was
on my map when I first loaded up

1625
01:46:51.159 --> 01:46:56.600
with patch two point zero, and
I wasn't interacting with Phantom Liberty, so

1626
01:46:56.680 --> 01:47:00.960
it's there. I haven't tried going
into it yet. But I'm also just

1627
01:47:00.079 --> 01:47:08.880
finding like Mutt far more approaches to
combat and hacking feel viable now like I

1628
01:47:09.319 --> 01:47:13.439
wanted to originally in twenty twenty,
make like a hacking samurai who used katanas

1629
01:47:13.479 --> 01:47:16.520
and pistols. I didn't feel like
melee weapons were doing much. I was

1630
01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:20.560
getting killed way too often. The
dudes who hack the netrunners who hack you

1631
01:47:20.720 --> 01:47:28.600
from far away were like just frustrating
and annoying. Hacking didn't feel all that

1632
01:47:28.800 --> 01:47:31.560
responsive. But now, and you
know, maybe it's just because so many

1633
01:47:31.640 --> 01:47:34.920
other things have changed around these systems. It feels so much more fluid.

1634
01:47:36.119 --> 01:47:42.279
They also have I don't know if
these skilled progression is new. The Chinobe,

1635
01:47:42.359 --> 01:47:46.279
like when you do a certain type
of thing, it adds perks in

1636
01:47:46.359 --> 01:47:51.079
a completely like third Tree. Yeah, it's like every five it's like,

1637
01:47:51.199 --> 01:47:55.479
okay, once you get to fifteen, then you have these extra bonuses and

1638
01:47:55.600 --> 01:48:00.359
things like like the Borderland's trilogy did
those when you rank up all the way,

1639
01:48:00.399 --> 01:48:02.439
it's like, okay, kill one
hundred people with a melee weapon,

1640
01:48:02.600 --> 01:48:05.640
you'll get a bonus that will help
you do melee shit. It's again,

1641
01:48:05.640 --> 01:48:10.039
it's like Skyrim. They've kind of
gone back to this more like almost arcady

1642
01:48:10.159 --> 01:48:15.560
progression, which suits this game because
it's a shooter at heart. It's not

1643
01:48:15.800 --> 01:48:17.000
it's not a Balder's Gate, it's
not a you know, it's not a

1644
01:48:17.479 --> 01:48:23.640
it's not even the Witcher is slow
paced compared to Cyberpunk, which makes sense

1645
01:48:23.920 --> 01:48:29.119
it's extremely futuristic, but vehicles feel
way better. I haven't really done much

1646
01:48:29.199 --> 01:48:34.520
with vehicle combat outside of like this
intro scene, but yeah, it feels

1647
01:48:34.560 --> 01:48:39.720
great. It's performing well, like
I'm getting I'm enjoying just kind of fucking

1648
01:48:39.760 --> 01:48:45.159
around the city. Like I still
think Night City, or like the game

1649
01:48:45.319 --> 01:48:49.720
that CD Project Red wanted to make, just won't be possible for like another

1650
01:48:49.920 --> 01:48:54.479
decade. I just I just don't
know how you make a city like Night

1651
01:48:54.600 --> 01:48:59.159
City and flesh it out believably.
There's too many people. It's like did

1652
01:48:59.199 --> 01:49:00.640
they say they wanted to Like no, no, no, no, Like

1653
01:49:00.880 --> 01:49:06.520
just just a true cyberpunk game like
Fantasy works because it's it's like wooden huts

1654
01:49:06.600 --> 01:49:14.640
and sure there's magic, but like, in order for a cyberpunk mega futuristic

1655
01:49:14.760 --> 01:49:18.039
game to feel true to the genre, I think it just needs to be

1656
01:49:18.159 --> 01:49:21.560
packed more full with shit to do. Like there's stuff to do in Cyberpunk,

1657
01:49:21.680 --> 01:49:28.600
but the game still feels relatively compared
to how the city looks, it

1658
01:49:28.720 --> 01:49:32.039
still feels a bit empty. It's
the basic like kind of RPG thing of

1659
01:49:32.119 --> 01:49:34.640
like okay, well, here's the
market area. And here's the guy that

1660
01:49:34.720 --> 01:49:38.199
sells jackets, and here's the guy
that sells from you know, like,

1661
01:49:38.520 --> 01:49:42.520
yeah, what you see in Starfield
millions a lot of window dressing. Yeah,

1662
01:49:42.720 --> 01:49:46.359
And I get it. I'm just
saying, like, I get why

1663
01:49:46.720 --> 01:49:50.479
fantasy to me feels like it works
better than sci fi and video games because

1664
01:49:51.439 --> 01:49:56.600
it's easier to let people walk through
every door in a fantasy village than it

1665
01:49:56.760 --> 01:50:00.479
is in this megalopolis from the future, which I get again, But I

1666
01:50:00.560 --> 01:50:03.159
was like, there could be a
really cool fucking game in this vein in

1667
01:50:03.239 --> 01:50:06.119
like a decade or two. Yeah. If it's like a farmhouse in a

1668
01:50:06.159 --> 01:50:09.439
fantasy game or something, you walk
in and it's like, I don't know

1669
01:50:09.439 --> 01:50:12.000
how many things could you actually do
if it was a farmhouse versus like if

1670
01:50:12.039 --> 01:50:15.199
there's a cyber cafe and all these
like crazy clubs and stuff like that.

1671
01:50:15.279 --> 01:50:17.239
It feels more limited because it feels
like there should be more things. Yeah,

1672
01:50:17.640 --> 01:50:21.680
but this conversation can also extend to
Starfield and you know, well,

1673
01:50:21.880 --> 01:50:28.760
which is like the reason everybody got
so excited about previous games was, Man,

1674
01:50:28.880 --> 01:50:30.760
there could be anything in these woods, but in Starfield, it's like,

1675
01:50:30.800 --> 01:50:33.840
well, I'm off to another Planet. It's why. Yeah, it's

1676
01:50:33.880 --> 01:50:38.479
why Elder Scrolls worked a lot better
than Starfield. It's interesting, though,

1677
01:50:38.560 --> 01:50:42.720
because you'd think there'd be more vast, expansive, interesting things to do in

1678
01:50:42.880 --> 01:50:46.640
space, like in real life.
Yeah, in life, like you have

1679
01:50:46.760 --> 01:50:51.119
like medieval times versus space. I'm
sure space is more interesting. Yeah,

1680
01:50:51.159 --> 01:50:55.760
I've said this to co workers.
I'm like, I still there are there

1681
01:50:55.840 --> 01:50:58.880
are good sci fi video games.
I don't need to say that. People

1682
01:50:58.960 --> 01:51:02.840
know that. I don't think like
game development is truly at a place where

1683
01:51:02.840 --> 01:51:10.680
we can make like, uh,
I think we'll see way more good sci

1684
01:51:10.760 --> 01:51:15.159
fi games in a while, and
like it's something like No Man Sky is

1685
01:51:15.199 --> 01:51:17.479
incredible for what they've pulled off,
and No Man Sky is awesome nowadays.

1686
01:51:17.520 --> 01:51:21.479
We've talked about this, but it's
just funny. It's like, well,

1687
01:51:21.840 --> 01:51:26.199
there's a reason again fantasy works so
well with the tech we have right now.

1688
01:51:26.319 --> 01:51:30.279
But you know, it's I'm I'm
looking forward to seeing what people pull

1689
01:51:30.319 --> 01:51:32.079
off in the future because cyberpunk is
impressing the hell out of me right now.

1690
01:51:33.359 --> 01:51:39.640
I do feel like I'm actually able
to make the character combat wise that

1691
01:51:39.720 --> 01:51:43.920
I wanted to make In twenty twenty, I'm also just that's but because the

1692
01:51:44.000 --> 01:51:47.680
game feels so much better, it
is encouraging me to role play a bit

1693
01:51:47.760 --> 01:51:50.279
more too. It's like, well, okay, I did a nomad background

1694
01:51:50.399 --> 01:51:58.359
this time instead of the corpo.
She's super like fast and the I didn't

1695
01:51:58.399 --> 01:52:01.760
realize farther down the skree. How
much of like a fucking ninja you could

1696
01:52:01.840 --> 01:52:05.239
make? Like you get air dashes, you get slides. You can extend

1697
01:52:05.319 --> 01:52:09.720
your slide to allow you to shoot
while you're sliding across the whole room.

1698
01:52:10.159 --> 01:52:12.760
You can you can get I believe
there's a perk to let you do several

1699
01:52:12.840 --> 01:52:17.439
air dashes before you hit the ground
again. So that because I'm using melee

1700
01:52:17.560 --> 01:52:20.520
stuff enough, I'm ranking it up
just by using it, but I'm also

1701
01:52:20.640 --> 01:52:25.239
ranking up and coming into these skill
trees based on these attributes. It's just

1702
01:52:25.319 --> 01:52:29.479
so much more in your face about
how it works. It's like, oh,

1703
01:52:29.600 --> 01:52:31.359
right, I'm going to keep trying
to push this ninja aspect with who's

1704
01:52:31.359 --> 01:52:35.119
good with pistols and swords and hacking
so I can hack enemies and fun with

1705
01:52:35.159 --> 01:52:38.840
them and set them on fire,
and also like blind them for a bit

1706
01:52:38.920 --> 01:52:43.680
so I can get in close with
my sword. It's way more intuitive to

1707
01:52:43.720 --> 01:52:48.239
me that I would keep putting points
into reflexes, net technical proficiency for the

1708
01:52:48.359 --> 01:52:56.920
net, running the hacking, and
small arms whatever skill dictates that. And

1709
01:52:57.000 --> 01:53:00.399
then that's again that's just feeding into
when I'm having these conversations with characters.

1710
01:53:00.640 --> 01:53:02.079
I do think this game is well
written. I think it's trying too hard

1711
01:53:02.199 --> 01:53:06.359
sometimes, but most cyberpunk does try
too hard. Like the genre, the

1712
01:53:06.399 --> 01:53:11.239
writing is very like Eastern European,
like the edginess, you know, like,

1713
01:53:11.520 --> 01:53:14.439
yeah, yeah, there's definitely that, and I'm kind of it's fun

1714
01:53:14.520 --> 01:53:16.279
to lean into it this time with
my character choices and my dialogue ship.

1715
01:53:16.359 --> 01:53:19.920
I'm being the biggest dick. Yeah, she's a nomad, so I'm just

1716
01:53:20.000 --> 01:53:24.039
like, I feel like she would
not be like super well adjusted socially and

1717
01:53:24.680 --> 01:53:29.640
get pissed off easily. And yeah, I'm liking it a bunch. It's

1718
01:53:30.199 --> 01:53:36.199
I do think there are some times
where I'm like, am I going to

1719
01:53:36.279 --> 01:53:39.600
stick with this? Because right now
I really do want to stick with it

1720
01:53:39.680 --> 01:53:45.000
and see Phantom Liberty because Dan the
relics Guiltree, which the relics if you

1721
01:53:45.039 --> 01:53:50.760
played the Bass game are like these
specific like neural implants if memory serves.

1722
01:53:53.800 --> 01:53:58.119
How does that add to the character
building stuff? I mean, I am

1723
01:53:58.239 --> 01:54:01.199
not super far, but I think
the one I've been kind of following this

1724
01:54:01.319 --> 01:54:04.760
path that's like optic camouflage, So
it's really helpful. If I'm in the

1725
01:54:04.760 --> 01:54:09.880
middle of like just a shit storm
firefight, I can hit RB like quick

1726
01:54:09.920 --> 01:54:13.880
access and just optic camouflage for just
a few seconds and it's enough for me

1727
01:54:14.000 --> 01:54:16.520
to just sprint somewhere else duck behind
a dumpster or something is something, and

1728
01:54:16.560 --> 01:54:18.079
they're like, oh, where the
fuck did they go? You know,

1729
01:54:18.279 --> 01:54:24.000
so I have not done enough to
It does look like a beefy like it's

1730
01:54:24.000 --> 01:54:26.760
the full part of the skill tree, so it seems like there's a lot

1731
01:54:26.800 --> 01:54:30.159
there, but I just haven't gotten
far enough yet. Yeah, relics struck

1732
01:54:30.239 --> 01:54:34.239
me as more of the like real
superpowers you could develop instead of just like

1733
01:54:36.279 --> 01:54:42.199
or just further superpowers to develop,
because like optic camouflage seems more like an

1734
01:54:42.239 --> 01:54:45.960
actual power rather than this ability you're
upgrading, which is super attractive. So

1735
01:54:45.960 --> 01:54:47.479
I want to keep trying to get
there because my thinking about how my characters

1736
01:54:47.520 --> 01:54:55.720
performing now as opposed to potentially having
like camouflage is enticing. Yeah, I'm

1737
01:54:55.760 --> 01:55:00.560
super impressed. It's just like it's
further proof that most video games nowaday or

1738
01:55:00.640 --> 01:55:05.920
not gonna be, or rather many
video games nowadays either should have been an

1739
01:55:05.960 --> 01:55:11.479
early access or are sort of kind
of in this quasi early access. Anyway,

1740
01:55:11.960 --> 01:55:14.359
I was just thinking that because that
scale, I should say not,

1741
01:55:14.600 --> 01:55:16.239
you know, like the indie studios
can come out with a full fledged game

1742
01:55:16.279 --> 01:55:19.800
and kill it right away. Yeah, I was just thinking that where it's

1743
01:55:19.800 --> 01:55:23.760
like my experience in twenty twenty,
it felt like I got like a really

1744
01:55:23.840 --> 01:55:27.039
beefy early access build of that game, and then a few years later it's

1745
01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:28.760
like, oh man, it's really
out and oh shit, okay, it's

1746
01:55:28.760 --> 01:55:30.960
all polished up, ready to go. You know, it's the same thing

1747
01:55:30.039 --> 01:55:34.920
I'm having with No Man Sky.
What else? This year, I replayed

1748
01:55:34.960 --> 01:55:39.199
some other older game that again felt
like, oh it's fully well. I

1749
01:55:39.239 --> 01:55:43.079
mean Bather's Gate obviously, but they
were like out they were outwardly saying it

1750
01:55:43.159 --> 01:55:46.199
was early access and the whole game
wasn't available when it was released initially several

1751
01:55:46.319 --> 01:55:51.880
years ago. But yeah, it's
just see if thieves just the amount they

1752
01:55:51.920 --> 01:55:55.720
fleshed that game out compared to what
it was, and like what twenty seventeen.

1753
01:55:55.760 --> 01:55:59.800
I'm like, so much work,
yeah, and it's it's a shame

1754
01:56:00.119 --> 01:56:02.680
that each of these games is designed
to be like one of the only games

1755
01:56:02.720 --> 01:56:06.920
you play, because there's so many
good games that have been fleshed out since

1756
01:56:06.960 --> 01:56:10.920
they felt like a demo at first, and like, I'm never going to

1757
01:56:10.960 --> 01:56:14.279
play them all, but I mean
that's happening more and more now. I

1758
01:56:14.279 --> 01:56:16.520
remember, like Siege didn't Seege you
have like a really underwhelmed launch, and

1759
01:56:16.560 --> 01:56:23.239
then then it came around see If
Thieves No Man Sky was the Division one

1760
01:56:23.279 --> 01:56:26.800
of those that the first division for
sure? Yes, that released a big

1761
01:56:28.640 --> 01:56:31.560
Yeah that released. Division released a
big patch alongside an expansion, the same

1762
01:56:31.640 --> 01:56:36.199
way that Cyberpunk did. H I
don't play it. I'm not going too

1763
01:56:36.199 --> 01:56:41.600
many time soon. I've heard very
good things nowadays about Fallout seventy six after

1764
01:56:41.760 --> 01:56:47.520
their pretty disastrous launch or also just
like miscommunicated launch, but people are liking

1765
01:56:47.560 --> 01:56:51.000
that a lot. They added that
expansion that put way more single player content,

1766
01:56:51.079 --> 01:56:56.159
And I'm like, and all of
these games truthfully sound right now like

1767
01:56:56.319 --> 01:56:59.920
something I would like to play after
we're done recording, but just the reality

1768
01:57:00.000 --> 01:57:01.640
of it, as they're too long
and there's too many of them, and

1769
01:57:02.720 --> 01:57:06.159
something like Moral Kombat is also here, and I want to keep playing Cyberpunk.

1770
01:57:06.239 --> 01:57:10.239
So I was like, I need
that, we need that Hermione Granger

1771
01:57:10.359 --> 01:57:14.720
Hourglass just to be able to play
all of these because there's stiff think about

1772
01:57:14.720 --> 01:57:16.039
like like Anthem, you know,
bad launch. Now it's the biggest game

1773
01:57:16.039 --> 01:57:20.199
on the planet. Yeah, exactly
really turned that around. Everyone's talking about

1774
01:57:20.199 --> 01:57:28.319
Anthem. Yeah, elicit's laughter that
they turned it around? Did they even

1775
01:57:28.399 --> 01:57:32.920
try? Oh that's the thing,
Like what went wrong there that they weren't

1776
01:57:32.960 --> 01:57:35.439
able to do what all these other
games did? Like they must have.

1777
01:57:35.640 --> 01:57:39.239
I mean, well, we know, like a lot of talent left the

1778
01:57:39.279 --> 01:57:42.920
studio like right away and during development. But it's like if they had stuck

1779
01:57:43.000 --> 01:57:45.600
with it and kind of put out
like a healthy roadmap for the future,

1780
01:57:45.720 --> 01:57:50.800
Like could people be ranting about raving
about Anthem today if they had put a

1781
01:57:50.880 --> 01:57:55.279
better foundation there at the start.
That's why it's hard now, like if

1782
01:57:55.279 --> 01:57:59.079
a game has a disastrous launch to
like you can't just like say, well

1783
01:57:59.239 --> 01:58:01.560
dead and buried more because there have
been enough of these examples, like Man

1784
01:58:01.640 --> 01:58:04.520
they really fucking turn Like No,
Man Sky is a pretty extreme one.

1785
01:58:04.600 --> 01:58:09.760
Right now. That guy is the
ultimate example. Because it had all this

1786
01:58:10.000 --> 01:58:13.560
hype, it had a disastrous release, and then the devs worked really hard

1787
01:58:13.640 --> 01:58:19.800
to kind of regain audiences trust and
actually became beloved from the players of their

1788
01:58:19.880 --> 01:58:24.479
game because they've put so much time
and work into it. I mean,

1789
01:58:24.560 --> 01:58:30.439
now it's like prolific. It's insane
that that game is. I played a

1790
01:58:30.560 --> 01:58:34.039
lot over the summer, and of
the twenty five hours I put into it,

1791
01:58:34.159 --> 01:58:39.640
I saw all the ship they've been
adding the ship to ship, freighter,

1792
01:58:39.720 --> 01:58:42.720
battles, and frigates, and like, you can have your own fleet

1793
01:58:42.800 --> 01:58:45.880
of merchant trading ships on which you
can build like a do a Stardo Valley

1794
01:58:46.079 --> 01:58:50.920
esque farming simulator with which you'll give
you resources to then trade. And then

1795
01:58:51.000 --> 01:58:56.359
you can also go to planets and
build a house anywhere you want. And

1796
01:58:56.560 --> 01:59:00.279
the house there's no real size limit, it's just about the supply as you

1797
01:59:00.319 --> 01:59:03.119
have. You can do. You
can become a smuggler and do these smuggling

1798
01:59:03.199 --> 01:59:08.840
runs much like a cyberpunk does at
the beginning. You can do They just

1799
01:59:08.920 --> 01:59:11.720
added a whole new robot race with
its own storyline. You can make your

1800
01:59:11.760 --> 01:59:15.680
own robot companions now it's and all
of it like is good and is seamless,

1801
01:59:15.880 --> 01:59:18.840
and that game still feels incredible.
Just take off a planet, land

1802
01:59:19.119 --> 01:59:23.479
anywhere you want on it. Yeah, yeah, which makes you think of

1803
01:59:23.560 --> 01:59:26.479
something like Starfields, which like,
you know, not a disaster launch like

1804
01:59:26.520 --> 01:59:29.840
obviously tons of people playing, and
obvious seen as a success, I would

1805
01:59:29.840 --> 01:59:32.279
imagine, but like a lot of
complaints. Yeah, you know, all

1806
01:59:32.319 --> 01:59:35.079
three of us have our complaints with
it for sure. But maybe in a

1807
01:59:35.119 --> 01:59:39.000
few years between the mod scene and
but does they're working on it, Like

1808
01:59:39.079 --> 01:59:41.119
it might be a thing where it's
like, oh man, they really kind

1809
01:59:41.159 --> 01:59:45.239
of turned that ship. Once they
rerelease it on PS six in that generation

1810
01:59:45.479 --> 01:59:47.119
and it starts coming to new consoles, I'm like, oh, maybe i'll,

1811
01:59:47.239 --> 01:59:49.399
you know, give it more of
a go. This is a long

1812
01:59:49.600 --> 01:59:54.119
call game. They're gonna put so
many more years of work into it,

1813
01:59:54.279 --> 01:59:59.079
assuming that the current player base does
stay, which I've actually had several people

1814
01:59:59.199 --> 02:00:02.920
say they're a dick did. So
it's not like not everybody is like us,

1815
02:00:03.039 --> 02:00:05.640
you know, like there's people who
are like playing this game pretty relentlessly

1816
02:00:05.800 --> 02:00:09.800
right now, even us who aren't
super hot on it. Like I don't

1817
02:00:09.840 --> 02:00:12.319
think any of us think that this
is one of those like disaster launches,

1818
02:00:12.359 --> 02:00:14.279
like the ones we were talking about
before. Like it's like, no,

1819
02:00:14.479 --> 02:00:17.039
it's just it was kind of underwhelming
or didn't really grab us, you know,

1820
02:00:17.199 --> 02:00:20.720
like I think it's a good game. M just I don't. There's

1821
02:00:20.720 --> 02:00:25.479
a lot of other stuff I'd rather
play right now. Yeah, but yeah,

1822
02:00:25.520 --> 02:00:30.359
I mean, if if people are
I would probably be quicker to do

1823
02:00:30.800 --> 02:00:33.840
these amazing games coming out. We're
just like, oh my god, I

1824
02:00:34.000 --> 02:00:38.560
really could play another day in picking
right now. God, yeah, because

1825
02:00:38.600 --> 02:00:42.079
I'm looking forward to trying. I
think Jake and I talked about finding someone

1826
02:00:42.119 --> 02:00:45.640
else a few other people who played
pay Day three with us. I'm curious.

1827
02:00:45.199 --> 02:00:49.119
I'm would episode I would. I
was thinking that to day I was

1828
02:00:49.119 --> 02:00:51.680
going to bring it up. Yes, I think the four of us playing

1829
02:00:51.680 --> 02:00:56.439
it's on game Pass, he's gonna
do like I think Scapes Heat. Yeah,

1830
02:00:56.520 --> 02:00:59.000
we just it's because I mean I
played a little bit of too and

1831
02:00:59.039 --> 02:01:02.880
it was rad. But then I
tried that. I think Jake recommended I

1832
02:01:03.039 --> 02:01:08.239
try it out along when we were
in our like Deep Rainbow six Siege days

1833
02:01:08.239 --> 02:01:11.880
Because similar both games, you're you're
communicating a lot. There are certain different

1834
02:01:11.960 --> 02:01:16.399
character classes and whatnot that are interacting. There's team synergy, but it's also

1835
02:01:16.600 --> 02:01:21.159
like, you know, there's there's
that high skill ceiling involved, But I

1836
02:01:21.239 --> 02:01:25.199
want to try that out. That'd
be fun bonus episode for us four to

1837
02:01:25.239 --> 02:01:29.359
go do a heist. Yes,
we should do that, And then I

1838
02:01:29.439 --> 02:01:35.359
want to play Cocoon, another puzzle
game that Polygon people are ranting about or

1839
02:01:35.399 --> 02:01:41.520
at least excited for. I should
say what other games have we started?

1840
02:01:42.079 --> 02:01:45.439
Is there anything else on our games
that we have played that we haven't talked

1841
02:01:45.439 --> 02:01:47.479
about yet? Let me here,
I'll do it. I'll do a rapid

1842
02:01:47.520 --> 02:01:49.880
fire lightning around. Oh wait,
so I do have one more, one

1843
02:01:49.920 --> 02:01:54.720
more big one. I don't think
we talked about it on last episode?

1844
02:01:55.279 --> 02:01:59.119
Did I talk about high played like
four or three hours of Assassin's Creed Mirage

1845
02:02:02.800 --> 02:02:06.840
as someone who really likes Assassin Creed
games, and I've been tapering off.

1846
02:02:06.880 --> 02:02:11.840
I didn't like Valhella, but I
liked Odyssey and I loved Origins. It

1847
02:02:11.920 --> 02:02:15.119
feels like they're going for the throwback
vibe of a more digestible, twenty hour

1848
02:02:15.199 --> 02:02:18.600
Assassin's Creed in one city and a
few surrounding problems when they were shorter boring

1849
02:02:18.680 --> 02:02:21.560
games. Oh right, yeah,
the golden age of Assassin's Creed. Yeah,

1850
02:02:21.960 --> 02:02:26.439
it feel they were. They're like
trying to go back to social stealth

1851
02:02:26.920 --> 02:02:30.359
and more like you're a detective.
You're talking to different sources around the city

1852
02:02:30.479 --> 02:02:35.359
trying to find the location of this
target. I appreciate all that thematically in

1853
02:02:35.479 --> 02:02:42.399
execution, though it also feels like
they digressed in many other ways. I'm

1854
02:02:42.520 --> 02:02:45.039
jumping to ledges I did not want
to go to at all. I'm getting

1855
02:02:45.039 --> 02:02:49.359
magnetized to certain wooden posts like that, the Parkers. It feels annoying again

1856
02:02:49.520 --> 02:02:55.640
in a way that largely the last
three games I think circumvented by widening things

1857
02:02:55.720 --> 02:02:59.039
and making Parkor not the focus.
But even like for all of its shit,

1858
02:03:00.000 --> 02:03:04.159
Assassin's Creed Unity still I think nailed
the parkour and the descending and the

1859
02:03:04.239 --> 02:03:09.880
ascending. I just I don't know. Granted, this was a month before

1860
02:03:09.960 --> 02:03:14.840
release, that's pretty close. This
was like a week ago, so that's

1861
02:03:15.199 --> 02:03:18.199
not much time for them to fix
a ton of these problems. I don't

1862
02:03:18.239 --> 02:03:25.439
know exactly how Ubisoft Bordeaux is working
or works, but I'm I came away

1863
02:03:25.520 --> 02:03:30.199
with lower expectations than I had originally
because I was. I was excited to

1864
02:03:30.279 --> 02:03:32.760
try out like a digestible Assassin's creed
for the first time in a while.

1865
02:03:32.880 --> 02:03:39.399
But yeah, I'm I guess we'll
see more when that comes out in full

1866
02:03:39.840 --> 02:03:45.520
interesting October fifth, I think,
Yeah, we're like in, we're well

1867
02:03:45.600 --> 02:03:49.600
into the Fall Games Rush already.
Yeah, there's still a decent amount.

1868
02:03:50.159 --> 02:03:53.520
Well, I mean it's only September, Like no, I know, but

1869
02:03:53.640 --> 02:03:57.560
like we're like in it already.
It's my point. Is there a colored

1870
02:03:57.760 --> 02:04:00.760
Duty this here? Yeah, called
Duty? Modern Warfare three is November,

1871
02:04:00.800 --> 02:04:02.920
I believe. Oh yeah, they
did the macro of Trallier. Who's making

1872
02:04:02.960 --> 02:04:08.880
this one? Is this Infinity m
No, they condensed a lot of it

1873
02:04:09.720 --> 02:04:14.439
was trac Infinity working. Yeah,
they they know. They brought in sledge

1874
02:04:14.479 --> 02:04:16.560
Hammer, I believe. I don't
know. I forgot how that all works.

1875
02:04:16.640 --> 02:04:24.880
Now. It's it was basically there's
been there were reports that I believe

1876
02:04:25.039 --> 02:04:29.960
have been kind of corroborated across several
sites that it started more as like a

1877
02:04:30.920 --> 02:04:36.760
modern Warfare two point Modern Warfare two
two point zero, and then they're just

1878
02:04:36.800 --> 02:04:39.680
like, oh, this is actually
a decent amount of stuff, so let's

1879
02:04:39.680 --> 02:04:42.399
make it Modern Warfare three. So
I don't know how fully fleshed out.

1880
02:04:42.399 --> 02:04:45.439
It'll be okay. It'll still get
to do really well though, and people

1881
02:04:45.600 --> 02:04:48.760
play the ship out of it Call
of Duty mark for a long time,

1882
02:04:48.840 --> 02:04:50.920
and I feel like last year was
the first time I was like, I

1883
02:04:51.039 --> 02:04:55.039
don't even really feel like that reboot. Modern Warfare was awesome. We played

1884
02:04:55.079 --> 02:04:56.720
a lot of that. Oh yeah, I no, that would get ask.

1885
02:04:56.800 --> 02:04:58.640
That was great, But like I
used to be a huge mark for

1886
02:04:58.720 --> 02:05:01.079
like the campaigns every year or even
if I didn't play much multiplayer, And

1887
02:05:01.159 --> 02:05:04.039
then I started, like I did
like one mission to Modern Warfare two reboot,

1888
02:05:04.319 --> 02:05:08.000
and it was just like, oh, it's just the shooting gallery thing

1889
02:05:08.119 --> 02:05:11.039
finally got boring to me. It
took a long time, but it finally

1890
02:05:11.119 --> 02:05:14.039
was like, ah, I get
it all right. Yeah. Because other

1891
02:05:14.039 --> 02:05:16.119
than that, we got supermar Brow's
Wonder, which sounds awesome. Yes,

1892
02:05:16.359 --> 02:05:19.560
that comes out the day before I
have a flight for Canada, and I'm

1893
02:05:19.600 --> 02:05:24.520
gonna play the shit out Alan Wake
two, which also sounds rad. They're

1894
02:05:24.520 --> 02:05:30.520
doing the resume for Format Survival Horror
now Spider Man two. I'm sure that'll

1895
02:05:30.520 --> 02:05:36.960
be fun. I'm expecting to be
uh not Spider Man two. That's a

1896
02:05:38.039 --> 02:05:40.920
game. Yeah, you're expecting to
be to not be what did you know,

1897
02:05:41.279 --> 02:05:44.680
be really taken by the people have
played it at this point and everyone

1898
02:05:44.720 --> 02:05:46.920
I'm hearing and everything I've seen is
just kind of like, yeah, right,

1899
02:05:47.119 --> 02:05:50.279
I don't I don't know if I'm
going to start that. I might,

1900
02:05:50.800 --> 02:05:55.279
I mean between the first one and
Miles Moralis and kind of short order,

1901
02:05:55.680 --> 02:05:59.840
like they're very well made, expensive
games. Yeah, weren't you Like

1902
02:06:00.000 --> 02:06:02.319
it's the first one though, I
love them both great, just I just

1903
02:06:02.359 --> 02:06:04.520
think I want to be more of
the same or have people said they don't

1904
02:06:04.560 --> 02:06:08.239
love it from what they played.
I've heard people say that they were just

1905
02:06:08.359 --> 02:06:11.920
like I've never heard anyone that played
it be like oh fuck yeah, Like

1906
02:06:12.000 --> 02:06:14.439
everyone's like, yeah, that's exactly
what it looks like. So it's like,

1907
02:06:14.960 --> 02:06:16.560
I don't know, from the trailers
and the early impercetions, I've been

1908
02:06:16.600 --> 02:06:21.319
here and I'm not, uh not
really on my radar here. Yeah,

1909
02:06:21.319 --> 02:06:27.000
because then aside from that, yeah, there's Assassin Creedmarrage, There's there's a

1910
02:06:27.000 --> 02:06:30.520
bunch of stuff in October I'm missing, I'm sure, but oh and then

1911
02:06:30.560 --> 02:06:35.239
Warhammer forty k rope Trader now has
a released date December seventh. Basically,

1912
02:06:35.720 --> 02:06:40.680
I'm wondering if Balder's Gate three momentum
will carry into that game because people are

1913
02:06:40.800 --> 02:06:44.760
varying theo CRPGs when they get a
good one. Yeah, Balder's Gate is

1914
02:06:44.840 --> 02:06:47.760
like so monumental though, now everybody's
going to compare it. People. Yeah,

1915
02:06:47.880 --> 02:06:57.399
that game a lot yep. Yes, every time, all the all

1916
02:06:57.439 --> 02:07:01.000
the sexy clips I've been seeing,
people are loving it. It's crazy.

1917
02:07:01.640 --> 02:07:04.840
Uh remember when the Witcher came out
and everyone was like, he has sex

1918
02:07:04.960 --> 02:07:09.840
in this game. Balder's Gate is
like, screw that. These people are

1919
02:07:10.119 --> 02:07:15.720
sixty nine yng they're eating but everything
crazy is happening in this game. It's

1920
02:07:15.880 --> 02:07:21.720
horny as hell. I don't think
I've ever understood what Like's throne. Like,

1921
02:07:21.840 --> 02:07:24.840
no, no fault of anyone if
they if they like it, But

1922
02:07:24.960 --> 02:07:28.239
like I've never been like I need
to fucking my games like I've never ever

1923
02:07:29.239 --> 02:07:32.520
in my life. You're gonna go
on and eating ass tangent. No,

1924
02:07:32.720 --> 02:07:39.119
I just really like sex and video
games just hockey by very different parts of

1925
02:07:39.199 --> 02:07:45.680
the play dark Watch dark Watch.
You've played dark Watch the PS two games

1926
02:07:45.760 --> 02:07:48.760
I did, Yeah, we talked
about it was the PS two Wild West

1927
02:07:48.880 --> 02:07:54.680
Vampire game with the guns with the
blades. One. Yeah, dark Watch

1928
02:07:55.760 --> 02:07:59.720
you told me you just okay Verse
you could see dan Mouth. I gat

1929
02:07:59.800 --> 02:08:03.840
it. Okay, that's I mean, we're all used to playing like really

1930
02:08:03.960 --> 02:08:07.279
hot characters in games and liking that, right, Like, there's an element

1931
02:08:07.399 --> 02:08:11.079
of your games you want to see
like sexy people in your games. So

1932
02:08:11.199 --> 02:08:16.840
sexy games have always been connected.
But when you actually see the deed and

1933
02:08:16.960 --> 02:08:20.119
it goes into like, oh,
I'm just watching people bang. Now did

1934
02:08:20.159 --> 02:08:26.399
they show full on like boning in
Balder's game? Oh, like dot they

1935
02:08:26.520 --> 02:08:31.880
don't show full penetration. Softcore it
is. It is naked people on top

1936
02:08:31.920 --> 02:08:35.960
of each other. Okay, I
guess I'm just it's not a judgmental thing.

1937
02:08:35.199 --> 02:08:37.960
People are like, go to town, jack off to whatever you want

1938
02:08:39.000 --> 02:08:41.680
to jack off to or whatever.
I've just never look I like jacking off,

1939
02:08:41.840 --> 02:08:46.439
jacking off fun. But I when
I'm playing a nice video game over

1940
02:08:46.520 --> 02:08:52.239
here on my television screen and what
I'm masturbating my pains, it's two very

1941
02:08:52.399 --> 02:08:58.119
different things going on. I'm not
looking at the combine these things. It's

1942
02:08:58.119 --> 02:09:00.479
like when I play wrestle Quest and
it's like I like saying, I like

1943
02:09:00.600 --> 02:09:03.319
video games. I don't need wrestling
to be in my video games like this,

1944
02:09:03.800 --> 02:09:05.359
It's just it's two different things.
I like a peanut butter sandwich,

1945
02:09:05.760 --> 02:09:11.199
like, I don't need What does
that have to do with messing jelly thing?

1946
02:09:11.279 --> 02:09:16.039
And he couldn't get it together.
I think he at the very end

1947
02:09:18.199 --> 02:09:22.079
anyone for what they're into. I'm
just saying I personally don't get wanting to

1948
02:09:22.119 --> 02:09:26.760
fuck in a video game. I
laugh when I when I experienced sandwich.

1949
02:09:26.199 --> 02:09:30.640
Yeah, ever fucked a peanut butter
jelly? Oh, you're missing out.

1950
02:09:31.079 --> 02:09:35.119
Every when I was thirteen and I
was a pew passing thirteen year old and

1951
02:09:35.279 --> 02:09:37.920
Laura Croft and stuff, and every
EGM had a bunch of you know,

1952
02:09:37.199 --> 02:09:41.880
hot godgeplayer ladies doing Lara Croft stuff. Sure of course that was at a

1953
02:09:41.880 --> 02:09:46.359
thirteen year old. Hell yeah,
But like I just I don't I don't

1954
02:09:46.399 --> 02:09:50.680
need that. Well, there's a
lot of I think, uncomfortable humor that

1955
02:09:50.840 --> 02:09:54.800
comes from seeing it. I remember
in The Witcher and the Witcher's hot as

1956
02:09:54.840 --> 02:09:58.319
shit, and every time he had
sex in that game, I remember I

1957
02:09:58.479 --> 02:10:01.319
kind of couldn't help but laugh,
Like I was laughing during the sequences and

1958
02:10:01.359 --> 02:10:05.520
I think it was maybe what you're
talking about was just like my brain was

1959
02:10:05.640 --> 02:10:09.640
in like I'm playing, I'm this
cool witcher, I'm having fun, I'm

1960
02:10:09.720 --> 02:10:11.000
learning the mechanics, and I was
like, oh my god, I'm I'm

1961
02:10:11.239 --> 02:10:16.840
banging this lady and I couldn't stop
laughing. I wasn't actually like really into

1962
02:10:16.880 --> 02:10:22.199
the scene. I have yet to
kind of experience like a sex scene in

1963
02:10:22.239 --> 02:10:26.079
a game where I'm like, oh, yeah, like this is so hot.

1964
02:10:26.239 --> 02:10:28.119
Like most of the time, I'm
like, oh my god, they're

1965
02:10:28.159 --> 02:10:31.880
doing it. So that's the question. Do you think when people are making

1966
02:10:31.000 --> 02:10:35.720
like a big thing out of like
the Baldersgate sex or the tall lady in

1967
02:10:35.880 --> 02:10:37.880
Mesi and Evil. Do you think
it is mostly like, oh, this

1968
02:10:39.039 --> 02:10:41.720
is a funny thing, that this
is like a oh sexy thing in a

1969
02:10:41.800 --> 02:10:43.720
video game, or do you think
it's like fuck you tall vampire, like

1970
02:10:43.800 --> 02:10:48.960
dude, like what do you what
is that look? I genuinely don't know.

1971
02:10:48.399 --> 02:10:52.319
It's a death blend. So we'll
talk about this in a little bit.

1972
02:10:52.439 --> 02:10:56.479
But like Hades is is like synonymous
with like, I want to bang

1973
02:10:56.520 --> 02:11:01.439
everyone in this game. I am
forty for that game because I played that

1974
02:11:01.600 --> 02:11:03.720
game and I was. I played
a lot of that game. I'm loving

1975
02:11:03.720 --> 02:11:05.119
it. Then I see online everyone
was talking about sex stuff and thing.

1976
02:11:05.159 --> 02:11:07.560
I's like, what, Haiti,
are we playing the same game? It's

1977
02:11:07.680 --> 02:11:11.399
hot, A game is hot.
I get the character models are hot,

1978
02:11:11.439 --> 02:11:13.720
but that's not why I was playing
a game because it's a good game.

1979
02:11:15.279 --> 02:11:18.439
But I am saying they're hot ass
and it's really enjoyable looking at them.

1980
02:11:18.600 --> 02:11:22.479
I would say the only game that's
found this death blend for Better or Worse

1981
02:11:22.840 --> 02:11:28.159
is Overwatched. Wait, is death
Blend a good thing or a bad thing?

1982
02:11:28.399 --> 02:11:33.359
I've never heard that dame before Death
Blend like a really good mash where

1983
02:11:33.359 --> 02:11:37.800
it seems like it works like the
sex and the game works well together.

1984
02:11:39.199 --> 02:11:43.239
What about Overwatches a sex thing?
Well, I heard about the fucking Elon

1985
02:11:43.359 --> 02:11:48.119
musk Amber heard thing, which is
fucking weird. But that's unfortunate that I

1986
02:11:48.199 --> 02:11:50.760
think that's connected to what I'm referring
to, which is that all the characters

1987
02:11:50.840 --> 02:11:56.399
in Overwatch are so hot that essentially
they all have porn associated with the for

1988
02:11:56.520 --> 02:11:58.479
better or for Worse. Yeah,
but that porn is different. They're taking

1989
02:12:00.039 --> 02:12:03.720
it's not it's not, but but
is it not a part of the game.

1990
02:12:05.279 --> 02:12:11.439
Yeah, uh, metaverse the extended
world like the game. Don't look

1991
02:12:11.560 --> 02:12:13.239
for that though, because as someone
who just played Overwatch, like they didn't

1992
02:12:13.279 --> 02:12:16.119
even enter my mind that like people
would be like horny about this game.

1993
02:12:16.199 --> 02:12:20.079
I thought like it was a fun
multiplayer shooter. I don't know, I

1994
02:12:20.680 --> 02:12:24.960
like not a sexual. I get
horny, but like, you don't me.

1995
02:12:28.800 --> 02:12:33.319
Apparently, Apparently fucking is jelly and
playing video games is peanut butter and

1996
02:12:33.520 --> 02:12:39.039
never the Twain shall meet. Wait, fuck humans house, It's not in

1997
02:12:39.159 --> 02:12:43.520
this house. We do not.
No, this is not I'm a cool

1998
02:12:43.600 --> 02:12:46.319
guy thing or I'm judging by I
was fucking thirteen, I would draw a

1999
02:12:46.479 --> 02:12:50.479
sea and a reverse sea with circles
in the middle of and get a horny

2000
02:12:50.479 --> 02:12:54.279
because they kind of looked like boobs, Like I understand, like that everything

2001
02:12:54.359 --> 02:12:56.880
has to be a naked lady right
in front of to get a horny like,

2002
02:12:56.039 --> 02:13:01.399
I just don't understand playing like Overwatch
and being like yeah sex, Like

2003
02:13:01.760 --> 02:13:05.600
what where do how do we jump
to sex from these people rollerskating around and

2004
02:13:05.640 --> 02:13:11.479
shooting each other. I'm more fascinating. I'm not judging it. I just

2005
02:13:11.560 --> 02:13:16.399
don't get a long time since you've
been thirteen. If you're willing to be

2006
02:13:16.560 --> 02:13:22.359
horny over lines and dots, imagine
seeing like really really hot characters in games.

2007
02:13:24.439 --> 02:13:28.359
Character all of them. Well,
what they're like? Guy that runs

2008
02:13:28.359 --> 02:13:35.760
around the first tires? Or who? Especially all the women? Huh?

2009
02:13:35.079 --> 02:13:41.159
The sniper a widow maker, widower? Thank you. It's been so long

2010
02:13:41.279 --> 02:13:48.520
since I've played this game, and
it shows the runny lady. She runs

2011
02:13:48.560 --> 02:13:54.840
really fast. No, yeah,
she's got the shoes reaper. No,

2012
02:13:56.000 --> 02:14:03.239
it's it's sombra. Trust me,
Mike, you're gonna get kicked out of

2013
02:14:03.279 --> 02:14:09.039
subway. Listen, this is a
video is a video game podcast. We

2014
02:14:09.159 --> 02:14:13.479
are not jaying it on video game
podcast because these are different. We will

2015
02:14:13.520 --> 02:14:20.920
have separation of sex and games,
Church and state separated. So are video

2016
02:14:20.960 --> 02:14:30.760
games and sex, and so are
our mayo and jizz. We promise I

2017
02:14:30.920 --> 02:14:33.960
didn't do that. I want to
try funny. You got fired? What

2018
02:14:35.079 --> 02:14:41.520
else? Do people get fired for
a lot of things? Range specific.

2019
02:14:41.560 --> 02:14:45.560
I've ever been fired. I know
for a fact that you were jizzen somewhere

2020
02:14:45.680 --> 02:14:48.600
at your place of work. Well, I've never been fired, so you

2021
02:14:48.720 --> 02:14:50.600
know I've never done that. It's
because you don't do it, because you're

2022
02:14:50.640 --> 02:15:01.560
ace. You can't handle it as
a sexual Yeah, okay, I feel

2023
02:15:01.600 --> 02:15:03.800
like if this comes across as judging
people for what they're doing, it's not.

2024
02:15:05.800 --> 02:15:07.960
There's also no judgment for like,
first of all, there's no judgment

2025
02:15:09.039 --> 02:15:13.199
for having having all the horniness.
There's also no judgment for not having all

2026
02:15:13.239 --> 02:15:18.159
the horns. Don't care, that's
fine. I just you know, I

2027
02:15:18.279 --> 02:15:20.520
don't know when when I occasionally see
like I'm not a super online, but

2028
02:15:20.680 --> 02:15:24.119
when I see this stuff on Twitter
and stuff of people being horny about things

2029
02:15:24.159 --> 02:15:28.640
that I just I don't know if
it's ironic or genuine. I'll send you

2030
02:15:28.760 --> 02:15:35.520
the clip. There's a really crazy
twitch clip of a balder's gate, and

2031
02:15:35.640 --> 02:15:37.640
I feel like it'll change your mum. We will be like, I can't

2032
02:15:37.720 --> 02:15:41.720
believe this scene is so long.
I'm not saying you'll jay it to it.

2033
02:15:41.760 --> 02:15:43.439
I'm just saying you might be like, oh, I could see why

2034
02:15:43.439 --> 02:15:46.680
people would would. Does that make
sense? Mike's nodding, No, I'll

2035
02:15:46.680 --> 02:15:50.279
hand check the whole time. We're
good. Yeah, I'd like to see

2036
02:15:50.359 --> 02:15:52.800
both of your hands. I know
the kind of apparatus you got hooked up

2037
02:15:52.880 --> 02:16:00.880
under your desks down there, hands
free Jay and modified into JA it's a

2038
02:16:00.920 --> 02:16:07.600
little fucking flesh light duct tape to
the bottom of your desk, the Steve

2039
02:16:07.760 --> 02:16:11.359
Brule sketch or the Steve Bruled video
where he uses the thing that's designed to

2040
02:16:11.920 --> 02:16:18.279
get come out of horses really quick. Do you know Steve Brule is no,

2041
02:16:18.439 --> 02:16:22.319
I missed the whole adult swim.
I didn't know it as an adult

2042
02:16:22.359 --> 02:16:28.720
swim. It's just I think so. And he goes into this doctor's officer,

2043
02:16:28.840 --> 02:16:33.360
like this veterinarian where they have this
thing that they can hook horses up

2044
02:16:33.399 --> 02:16:39.079
to that's designed to just get horse
seamen really quick. Gets hooked up to

2045
02:16:39.239 --> 02:16:43.879
it, and it takes like four
seconds turn this thing off. I'm dry.

2046
02:16:54.479 --> 02:16:58.000
That's vile, Dan. What are
these quick fire games you want to

2047
02:16:58.000 --> 02:17:05.159
talk about? Right? The Impossible
Pivot? Okay, lines of p These

2048
02:17:05.200 --> 02:17:07.399
are all games I've played, Like
an hour of Lies of Pe. I

2049
02:17:07.520 --> 02:17:11.479
was mostly just taken by like,
you know, people described it as like

2050
02:17:11.520 --> 02:17:16.319
blood born with Pinocchio. Holy shit. I didn't realize how seriously they meant

2051
02:17:16.479 --> 02:17:20.760
that, because like it is just
straight up blood born as it doesn't read

2052
02:17:20.799 --> 02:17:22.920
to me as Pinocchio because I don't
know when I hear Pinocchio, I just

2053
02:17:22.000 --> 02:17:26.639
picture of the cartoon and this doesn't
look like that, So I didn't realize

2054
02:17:26.639 --> 02:17:28.559
it was a larger story. I
thought it was just the Disney cartoons,

2055
02:17:28.600 --> 02:17:31.920
So that was weird to me.
But the actual gameplay and just the whole

2056
02:17:33.040 --> 02:17:33.559
like, I mean, it's just
like, oh, okay, instead of

2057
02:17:33.600 --> 02:17:37.760
the not the fucking bonfire, what
wasn't Blood Born, it was the blood

2058
02:17:39.120 --> 02:17:43.239
Sipper, what was the fucking thing? The bond planters, whatever, the

2059
02:17:43.520 --> 02:17:46.639
yeah, whatever you activate, there's
just there's an analog for everything. Here's

2060
02:17:46.680 --> 02:17:48.879
that thing, here's that thing.
The controls are they feel like one to

2061
02:17:50.000 --> 02:17:54.799
one the UI on your little extra
pouch and stuff like. It is just

2062
02:17:54.399 --> 02:18:00.600
it is like legally distinct sound alike
of Blood Born. You close to the

2063
02:18:00.639 --> 02:18:05.840
point where like it's kind of I
don't know, shameless. I mean,

2064
02:18:07.200 --> 02:18:09.920
uh, that's hard to say.
It is. It is pretty extreme in

2065
02:18:11.040 --> 02:18:13.639
terms of how much it's taping it, but like it's also good from what

2066
02:18:13.719 --> 02:18:16.799
I've played, and so to the
point where it's like, you know,

2067
02:18:16.840 --> 02:18:18.600
I texted my sister Kayla, who
like Blood Born a lot, and she

2068
02:18:18.719 --> 02:18:20.319
hadn't heard of this, and I
was like, oh, you should check

2069
02:18:20.360 --> 02:18:22.879
this out. I think you'd like
it, like it's good, but it

2070
02:18:24.120 --> 02:18:28.479
is just straight up blood born.
I didn't play enough to see the whole

2071
02:18:28.520 --> 02:18:30.840
like level up system and all that
to know if that apes that, but

2072
02:18:31.040 --> 02:18:35.319
like on the surface, very blood
born umbrella. It was a Devolver game

2073
02:18:35.639 --> 02:18:41.319
planning on the switch kind of side
scrolling, but like there's some dialogue stuff

2074
02:18:41.959 --> 02:18:45.639
in different quests and everything going on
there. It's the main hook is the

2075
02:18:45.760 --> 02:18:48.680
gun umbrella, where it's like a
shotgun attached to an umbrella. So when

2076
02:18:48.719 --> 02:18:54.479
you hit like the R shoulder whatever
direction you're pointing with the left stick,

2077
02:18:54.479 --> 02:18:56.639
you kind of it shoots like into
the umbrella and you kind of like dash

2078
02:18:56.719 --> 02:19:00.319
in that way. But since it's
an umbrella, you can like shoot yourself

2079
02:19:00.399 --> 02:19:03.719
up into the air and float down. You could like wall jump and after

2080
02:19:03.760 --> 02:19:05.639
the wall jump, shoot the gun
umbrella up and then float. But like

2081
02:19:05.680 --> 02:19:09.200
there's just a fun a lot of
fun platforming and action stuff that comes out

2082
02:19:09.239 --> 02:19:13.600
of this one cool idea. I
was like, Oh, it's a gunnbrella

2083
02:19:13.719 --> 02:19:16.680
like I've never really seen in all
the two D platforms I've played, like

2084
02:19:16.920 --> 02:19:18.879
a mechanic exactly like that, So
that seems pretty cool from what I've played.

2085
02:19:20.440 --> 02:19:22.959
H and then F zero ninety nine. I was never a big F

2086
02:19:22.159 --> 02:19:26.559
zero guy. That was the one
like first party Nintendo series and never really

2087
02:19:26.680 --> 02:19:31.000
messed with too much, But this
is a like I love the idea that

2088
02:19:31.040 --> 02:19:33.559
they keep taking these series. And
here's the ninety nine version of it between

2089
02:19:33.639 --> 02:19:37.040
Tetris pac Man F zero. It
ried with Mario that wasn't as good,

2090
02:19:37.280 --> 02:19:41.879
but like, I think it's such
a fun concept of that like Battle Royale

2091
02:19:41.000 --> 02:19:45.399
slapped onto like an old Nintendo game. Uh and and this seems like a

2092
02:19:45.479 --> 02:19:48.840
really good version of that. So
yeah, I'd like to see more of

2093
02:19:48.879 --> 02:19:52.680
those. That's that's my lightning round
cool. I want to play a gun

2094
02:19:52.760 --> 02:19:56.280
umbrella. I think that's cool.
I let you know, I like Devolver.

2095
02:19:56.680 --> 02:20:01.719
I think that sounds like a game
I would like so interested developers done

2096
02:20:01.719 --> 02:20:05.000
an incredible job at like with their
brand or just their whole company of Like

2097
02:20:05.239 --> 02:20:09.040
when I see that logo, I
instantly think like, Okay, well,

2098
02:20:09.079 --> 02:20:11.520
this isn't going to be just like
a shitty game. Like there seems to

2099
02:20:11.559 --> 02:20:16.639
be a curation with the games they
publish, and they all kind of have

2100
02:20:16.799 --> 02:20:20.799
like fun gimmicks and as far as
like indie games like that is they label

2101
02:20:20.840 --> 02:20:22.159
I look at and I feel like, oh yeah, okay, I feel

2102
02:20:22.159 --> 02:20:24.879
like I know what I'm going into
and I'm probably gonna like it, or

2103
02:20:24.920 --> 02:20:28.079
at least like really respect what they're
going for. This strike me as like

2104
02:20:28.159 --> 02:20:33.600
an A twenty four. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, sounds still good.

2105
02:20:33.000 --> 02:20:35.559
All right? Yeah? Cool?
Do you want to do emails? Yeah?

2106
02:20:37.399 --> 02:20:39.000
All right. As usually, you
can run into firescape cast at gmail

2107
02:20:39.319 --> 02:20:43.600
dot com for questions, comments,
concerns, corrections, which go in my

2108
02:20:43.760 --> 02:20:48.639
special filing folder called the Trash Not
all the time. We've actually read a

2109
02:20:48.680 --> 02:20:52.120
few recently that were productive, constructive, but then we banned them from the

2110
02:20:52.600 --> 02:20:56.120
feed and the patroon. Yep,
yeah you're not if well, you're not

2111
02:20:56.200 --> 02:21:00.440
listening to it now. If it
was you, you wouldn't be able to

2112
02:21:00.479 --> 02:21:03.719
listen to it. But sorry,
yeah, don't do it? All right?

2113
02:21:03.799 --> 02:21:07.639
Cool? Mary? Do you want
to read this first one from our

2114
02:21:07.680 --> 02:21:18.200
old friend West. Yes? Hello. If you were an asshole rich person

2115
02:21:18.520 --> 02:21:24.440
with buttloads of potentially ill begotten money, and you didn't care about the stupid

2116
02:21:24.559 --> 02:21:31.120
environment, poor people, or fake
government, where would you build your summer

2117
02:21:31.200 --> 02:21:35.799
house and your winter house? Thanks
West from Baltimore, PS, Baby chud

2118
02:21:35.840 --> 02:21:41.959
fuggers loves the podcast and also hates
Starfield. All right, build my summer

2119
02:21:43.000 --> 02:21:48.639
house in winter House. I feel
like as a kid whenever I was playing

2120
02:21:48.719 --> 02:21:50.760
Sonic and I would like, you
get to the last area or the area

2121
02:21:50.799 --> 02:21:54.680
before the last, and it's always
like doctor Robotnick had like an air fortress.

2122
02:21:56.440 --> 02:21:58.319
I'd be like, damn, he's
like he's evil. But that guy

2123
02:21:58.399 --> 02:22:05.280
made it talking about it was an
ass if like what would your like,

2124
02:22:05.600 --> 02:22:07.000
Yeah, We've talked about this several
times on the show. It's like,

2125
02:22:07.079 --> 02:22:13.120
what would your if money wasn't an
object and like anything was possible, what

2126
02:22:13.200 --> 02:22:16.719
would your like ultimate castle look like
Doctor Wiley castle like I want it like

2127
02:22:16.920 --> 02:22:20.959
in or an air fortress like I
want it like in the clouds like Doctor's

2128
02:22:22.040 --> 02:22:26.200
giant skull front and you know,
just it seems like a labyrinth giant mansion

2129
02:22:26.280 --> 02:22:31.760
in the sky. Like there's something
cool about that, right, an island,

2130
02:22:31.920 --> 02:22:37.079
a sky island, skyland. Kink
Kink role lives in his like head

2131
02:22:37.479 --> 02:22:39.600
in Donkey Kong sixty four, I
would live in a giant head of myself.

2132
02:22:39.719 --> 02:22:43.920
Yeah, And the ideal I would
like to live when my summer house

2133
02:22:45.000 --> 02:22:50.520
would be hmm. So there's like
the two schools of thought. It's like,

2134
02:22:50.680 --> 02:22:52.920
do you want to take advantage of
the winter with your winter house and

2135
02:22:52.000 --> 02:22:58.120
go somewhere with skiing or snowboarding or
somewhere picturesque, or do you want to

2136
02:22:58.159 --> 02:23:03.079
avoid the coal. It's interesting that
they give you summer and winter options.

2137
02:23:03.159 --> 02:23:09.040
I think the idea here is that
you're so rich that you have chalets in

2138
02:23:09.120 --> 02:23:15.600
the winter, But like, what's
like a serene environment that you no longer

2139
02:23:15.719 --> 02:23:20.120
have to worry? I would say
it would probably be maybe it would be

2140
02:23:20.319 --> 02:23:24.840
like in a public park. Like
if I'm an asshole, I would say

2141
02:23:26.399 --> 02:23:31.600
that maybe I would put it in
a gorgeous park that should be for the

2142
02:23:31.680 --> 02:23:35.760
public, but I would put my
personal house there and then not allow people

2143
02:23:35.159 --> 02:23:41.920
to turrets to keep people out.
Yeah, you're such a New Yorker.

2144
02:23:43.079 --> 02:23:48.239
I was thinking like up like a
national park like the Grand Canion, or

2145
02:23:48.600 --> 02:23:54.440
think like I'm thinking big, And
then I would essentially, because I'm taking

2146
02:23:54.520 --> 02:23:56.719
the asshole part of this email really
seriously, like what's the meanest thing you

2147
02:23:56.760 --> 02:23:58.920
could do? Oh my god,
I know what it is. My summer

2148
02:24:00.159 --> 02:24:05.959
house would be a house in Disney's
Castle, and then I wouldn't let children

2149
02:24:07.120 --> 02:24:09.760
near it. I would sense it
off. I'm with you on that.

2150
02:24:11.319 --> 02:24:13.280
I don't like Disney, but like
I respect what you're going for. Oh,

2151
02:24:13.319 --> 02:24:18.559
this is very full circle. I'm
talking about how children aren't allowed and

2152
02:24:18.600 --> 02:24:22.559
I would have like clear signage that's
like twenty one and up. And I

2153
02:24:22.639 --> 02:24:26.799
would allow people to like have debauchery
and parties in my summer house because it's

2154
02:24:26.799 --> 02:24:28.280
my fucking summer house. Like I
can do whatever I want. But it's

2155
02:24:28.440 --> 02:24:31.920
in Disney the Park. So there's
all these families nearby, and all my

2156
02:24:31.959 --> 02:24:37.600
friends are puking and dumping out their
tits and stuff, and all these kids

2157
02:24:37.639 --> 02:24:39.959
have to avert their eyes. Yeah, band kids from parties? Do you

2158
02:24:41.040 --> 02:24:46.040
have, Mike, I would have
a dump dump your tits? What does

2159
02:24:46.159 --> 02:24:50.159
that mean? It's just a fun
phrase, dump them out right, you're

2160
02:24:50.239 --> 02:24:54.079
right? Yeah, you're pulling them
out or dumping now, don't them out

2161
02:24:56.120 --> 02:25:01.440
Let's see it dicks up? Am
I right? Boys, That's that's what

2162
02:25:01.520 --> 02:25:11.760
we say at my Disney summer So
it's fine. No, it's not for

2163
02:25:11.920 --> 02:25:15.799
freaks. It's not like it's not
that type of debauchery. Children aren't literally

2164
02:25:15.920 --> 02:25:20.000
allowed to be in the park because
I'm having my party and it's Mary.

2165
02:25:20.159 --> 02:25:22.760
Mary does often. No, that's
not a good joke. No, no,

2166
02:25:22.959 --> 02:25:28.079
Mike, No, Mike, you
should do it. Jake, what

2167
02:25:28.280 --> 02:25:33.799
Jake? The technology we can beep
you. What's the same the joke,

2168
02:25:33.920 --> 02:25:35.479
Mike, I mean when we record
the time, Sam before I tell you

2169
02:25:35.799 --> 02:25:43.799
write it down? Boy, a
free timestamp. That's an unprecedented alright.

2170
02:25:43.479 --> 02:25:46.239
And then and then Mary, you
decide for beeping or not. Okay,

2171
02:25:46.479 --> 02:25:52.600
I was gonna make a bit about
how and pretend that Mary has has always

2172
02:25:52.639 --> 02:26:03.239
been talking about Jesus. I know
that was the angle. I do the

2173
02:26:03.280 --> 02:26:07.360
same thing with me and a certain
comedian who has fallen from grace. So

2174
02:26:07.879 --> 02:26:11.280
true, that's true. Though,
Okay, Well, I wrote the time

2175
02:26:11.319 --> 02:26:13.600
said we should definitely beat that.
And the more the more of the sentence

2176
02:26:13.680 --> 02:26:16.920
I said, the more I'm like, oh god, this is ill,

2177
02:26:18.239 --> 02:26:20.959
this is in bad taste. I
do like the running thing of just beeps

2178
02:26:22.000 --> 02:26:26.239
that we never explained. We get
comments on Patreon and they're like, what

2179
02:26:26.360 --> 02:26:28.680
did Mike say? I need to
know. No, that's not gonna.

2180
02:26:28.799 --> 02:26:31.280
I didn't say anything. I just
made a beep noise like watch, I

2181
02:26:31.360 --> 02:26:39.159
just did it again, put two
beeps and sound. Though, yeah,

2182
02:26:39.639 --> 02:26:45.680
I would buy a castle in Ireland
and then booby trap it and then invite

2183
02:26:46.000 --> 02:26:52.319
just describing skyfall, Tell yeah,
tell people that they can. If they

2184
02:26:52.440 --> 02:26:56.239
can come and ring the bell in
the tower of the castle, I'll give

2185
02:26:56.280 --> 02:27:03.799
them a billion dollars, but I
booby trap it in like the most Wait

2186
02:27:03.879 --> 02:27:11.639
is it Ireland dollars or whatever money, whatever currency flies in your home country?

2187
02:27:11.680 --> 02:27:13.319
You can come from all over the
world. Are these cheeky home alone

2188
02:27:13.360 --> 02:27:18.000
booby traps or are these a million
dollars have to work? So are they

2189
02:27:18.120 --> 02:27:22.559
land mine? Oh? Yeah,
I'm thinking, like I don't even want

2190
02:27:22.639 --> 02:27:26.639
you really getting close to the door, like automatic laser turrets that fry you.

2191
02:27:28.239 --> 02:27:31.520
So do you want to be killing
people? That's the whole point of

2192
02:27:31.600 --> 02:27:35.680
being rich, is being able to
kill people in the with no consequence.

2193
02:27:35.799 --> 02:27:39.239
Yeah, yeah, of course that's
part of my fantasy. Mary. I

2194
02:27:39.280 --> 02:27:41.719
think about it right now, and
I'm not rich. You think you think

2195
02:27:41.760 --> 02:27:48.680
getting you think getting billions of dollars
would subdue my murder murderous intend it wouldn't

2196
02:27:48.760 --> 02:27:52.639
foster it and nurture it. I
would kill so many people if I was

2197
02:27:52.799 --> 02:28:03.799
rich, I plan a new murder. Good night. It's like a dog

2198
02:28:03.959 --> 02:28:11.000
that runs in his dream, but
Mike Stabbing care in the world. There

2199
02:28:11.040 --> 02:28:16.760
he goes, He's free. God, there will be a documentary about me

2200
02:28:16.840 --> 02:28:22.600
on Netflix someday. That's such an
ominous thing. Castled the Michael Hardy Sorry,

2201
02:28:22.280 --> 02:28:30.520
that would be my summer house.
My winter house would be would my

2202
02:28:30.680 --> 02:28:35.559
winterhouse be? What's something good that
I didn't have to care about people for?

2203
02:28:39.399 --> 02:28:48.360
Oh? I got it. I
would make a house boat. But

2204
02:28:48.479 --> 02:28:56.399
it's also extremely fast, and it's
got a giant like medieval style javelin or

2205
02:28:56.000 --> 02:29:01.280
like lance on the front, and
just drive around the oceans and lakes and

2206
02:29:01.399 --> 02:29:07.040
beaches and just spear other ships and
come up. And then it has wheels,

2207
02:29:07.079 --> 02:29:11.120
so I can come up on the
beach and then drive around with my

2208
02:29:11.239 --> 02:29:16.520
javelin boat just tear people up.
This question, just to reiterate, is

2209
02:29:16.559 --> 02:29:20.639
really more of a location based question, not so much of like what kind

2210
02:29:20.680 --> 02:29:26.520
of device would you construct to murder
as many people as possible? Amphibious murder

2211
02:29:26.639 --> 02:29:33.600
machine, amphibious murder jousting thing.
If I have enough money, you don't

2212
02:29:33.639 --> 02:29:39.159
need your house to be stationary.
I understand what the question question is.

2213
02:29:39.280 --> 02:29:46.639
Location Okay, okay, I would
get a murder amphibious jousting boat on lock

2214
02:29:46.760 --> 02:29:54.719
nests and kill people searching for I've
got one. It would be underwater,

2215
02:29:54.719 --> 02:30:01.760
and I'd find the world's best scientists
and best thinkers and best philosophers and best

2216
02:30:01.840 --> 02:30:05.559
engineers, and I'd create this utopia
for them, and I'd bring them down

2217
02:30:05.840 --> 02:30:13.200
into a bubble city underwater and we'd
live there apart they have superpowers based on

2218
02:30:13.319 --> 02:30:18.719
these out of my hands. Yeah, go wrong. And then I'll build

2219
02:30:18.719 --> 02:30:24.000
a city in the sky and they'll
be based around the same idea. Oh

2220
02:30:24.280 --> 02:30:30.959
okay, and then the lighthouse or
something in picturesque be some cool lighthouses.

2221
02:30:31.159 --> 02:30:35.040
I really would live in the lighthouse
though. Lighthouse is a cool concept for

2222
02:30:35.760 --> 02:30:41.280
a summer home. Yeah, that
really is. Yeah, be good.

2223
02:30:41.600 --> 02:30:46.079
That's a good question. Thank you
us. All right, I'll read this

2224
02:30:46.159 --> 02:30:50.280
one. We went to the whole
thing. Phil from Calgary wrote in High

2225
02:30:50.280 --> 02:30:54.159
Fire Escape and listen to this week. Read last week's podcast, and I'm

2226
02:30:54.159 --> 02:30:58.079
thoroughly enjoying the talk about pairing Bogealat
with crun traps. Since Mike is such

2227
02:30:58.079 --> 02:31:00.200
a pro with this, Thank you, I appreciate it. I was hoping

2228
02:31:00.200 --> 02:31:03.600
he'd give me some advice for an
upcoming dot dot dot dot thing dot dot

2229
02:31:03.639 --> 02:31:07.559
dot dot. I need a pairing
for some contexts. I'm turning forty in

2230
02:31:07.639 --> 02:31:11.680
October of this year, and I'm
heading up to Whitehorse, Yukon with some

2231
02:31:11.799 --> 02:31:16.760
friends for a Northern Lights adventure.
One of the things we'll be doing is

2232
02:31:16.840 --> 02:31:18.680
driving to Dawson City, Yukon,
which is the home of the Sour Doughs

2233
02:31:18.719 --> 02:31:22.799
Saloon. I would like to know
which type of booze you would recommend I

2234
02:31:22.920 --> 02:31:26.000
order for their world famous sour Toe
cocktail. It consists of your choice of

2235
02:31:26.079 --> 02:31:31.680
spirit and a severed and mummified human
toe. No, would whiskey be the

2236
02:31:31.799 --> 02:31:35.200
best to compliment the toe notes?
How about covering it up with the botanical

2237
02:31:35.280 --> 02:31:39.239
flavors and gin? What's the best
strategy here? My best friend is hell

2238
02:31:39.280 --> 02:31:41.200
been on returning home and they certificate
to prove he drank one of these cocktails,

2239
02:31:41.200 --> 02:31:45.399
and I can't let them upstage me. There's a description on their website,

2240
02:31:45.479 --> 02:31:46.879
he says, he knows. We're
curious. We're gonna look this up.

2241
02:31:46.959 --> 02:31:50.559
Is I'm looking it up right now? Where do they get into the

2242
02:31:50.639 --> 02:31:56.479
outside looks amazing. The building itself
looks awesome. Ye looks like I would

2243
02:31:56.559 --> 02:32:00.920
like, like immediately it looks like
a dead Oh my god, if you

2244
02:32:00.959 --> 02:32:05.559
search sour dough saloon toe. Oh
my god, they can't do that.

2245
02:32:05.639 --> 02:32:11.719
How's that legal? Wait? Former
marine donates his frost bitten toe to hotel

2246
02:32:11.799 --> 02:32:15.000
to be served and shot. Oh
it's the same toe. Every time I

2247
02:32:15.079 --> 02:32:24.159
thought they had like a stash the
same toe. Wait, he says man

2248
02:32:24.319 --> 02:32:30.360
males amputated toes plural to saloon and
use for their sour toe cocktail. No,

2249
02:32:30.520 --> 02:32:31.920
no, no, they use and
reuse. It's numerous different ones.

2250
02:32:33.319 --> 02:32:37.319
So yes, they do get reused. You're not eating the toe. They've

2251
02:32:37.360 --> 02:32:41.239
done it for forty years. But
they have like a growing collection of toes

2252
02:32:41.319 --> 02:32:46.920
that they use. That's so fucked
up. I guess for like frostbite shit

2253
02:32:46.680 --> 02:32:50.479
in that part of the world,
in the Yukon, they're probably not in

2254
02:32:50.559 --> 02:32:54.399
a shortage of toes that they could
people to chip there. Oh my god,

2255
02:32:54.440 --> 02:32:56.799
says The beverage consists of a mummified
a human toe floating in a whiskey

2256
02:32:56.879 --> 02:33:03.680
shot. Patrons must let the did
or it's blackened nail touched their lips in

2257
02:33:03.879 --> 02:33:07.799
order to receive a certificate and qualify
for admittance to this Sour Dough cocktail club.

2258
02:33:07.079 --> 02:33:15.000
But you don't have to do whiskey. According to what Joe Phil is

2259
02:33:15.159 --> 02:33:18.879
telling us, I'm not gonna lie. If I was there with you two

2260
02:33:20.280 --> 02:33:22.879
and it was the thing where we
all decided to do it, I would

2261
02:33:22.920 --> 02:33:24.959
do it. I would do it. I'm not gonna go to the Yukon

2262
02:33:24.040 --> 02:33:26.360
and not do this. I took
a show with a live fish in it,

2263
02:33:26.479 --> 02:33:28.959
like two months ago. Like.
Have you read the origin of the

2264
02:33:30.040 --> 02:33:33.559
toe? No? Okay. The
toe is said to have belonged to a

2265
02:33:33.680 --> 02:33:39.920
minor and run rummer named Louis Lichn
who had his frost bitten appendage amputated in

2266
02:33:39.000 --> 02:33:43.600
the nineteen twenties. He preserved it
in a jar of alcohol in the cabin

2267
02:33:43.760 --> 02:33:46.760
for memories. But fifty years later, in nineteen seventy three, Yukon local

2268
02:33:46.879 --> 02:33:54.680
captain Dick Stevenson what a fucking name
found found the jar containing the toe.

2269
02:33:54.719 --> 02:34:00.239
A cleaning captain, Dick brought the
toe down to the Sour Dough Salute and

2270
02:34:00.319 --> 02:34:07.600
started plunking it into the drinks of
those who were brave enough drinks. Do

2271
02:34:07.639 --> 02:34:11.520
you think you're a man? Drink
this toe, you little bitch. I'm

2272
02:34:11.719 --> 02:34:18.159
Captain Dick, I would do it, and this is the worst Disneyland experience

2273
02:34:18.239 --> 02:34:26.680
you will ever have to answer.
To answer Phil's question, I would liquor

2274
02:34:26.719 --> 02:34:35.200
what I shot with that in it? Honestly, probably vodka neutralize as much

2275
02:34:35.239 --> 02:34:39.600
of the taste of the toe as
possible, and something so neutral. I

2276
02:34:39.680 --> 02:34:43.520
think I would want something with flavor, like do some fucking rumblements thing or

2277
02:34:43.559 --> 02:34:46.280
something. I want something it's gonna
burn and distract me from the toe.

2278
02:34:46.719 --> 02:34:52.319
I want something very flavorful to fireball
whiskey. Yeah, yeah, something intense

2279
02:34:52.520 --> 02:34:58.639
that will quell the toe. Someone's
like, I'll do a lemon drop shot

2280
02:34:58.680 --> 02:35:01.920
please, with the toe in it. I think I would do the hole

2281
02:35:01.959 --> 02:35:05.360
tequila gimmick with the like licking the
salt. Take this thing and then no,

2282
02:35:05.559 --> 02:35:09.639
no, no, a certificate would
you get? Yeah? Yeah,

2283
02:35:11.040 --> 02:35:13.479
no, you you take, you
lick the salt, you squirt the their

2284
02:35:13.520 --> 02:35:16.959
weight, you like the salt,
You take the shot, and then you

2285
02:35:18.040 --> 02:35:24.120
bite the lime and then you fucking
don't swallow the toe. Do you think

2286
02:35:24.159 --> 02:35:28.079
anyone's done that. I'm sure that
would be so rude, because they reuse

2287
02:35:28.159 --> 02:35:33.520
the toes. I know I'm not
yet well, I don't want to put

2288
02:35:33.520 --> 02:35:35.360
them out of business. Otherwise I
would they only have so many toes,

2289
02:35:35.520 --> 02:35:41.040
Mike. Every toe you take,
they you they you have to get either

2290
02:35:41.120 --> 02:35:43.639
your own or you have to replace
out. Yeah, they're like, oh

2291
02:35:43.719 --> 02:35:46.319
you also tone? Now. I
was like, you never ask and that

2292
02:35:48.520 --> 02:35:56.399
like no, I so are we
in agreeing? We would? We would

2293
02:35:56.399 --> 02:36:01.600
all do it the we're all found
ourselves there. Ever, up in Yukon,

2294
02:36:01.760 --> 02:36:03.799
which is very far north. Hey, gam with you're next her.

2295
02:36:05.520 --> 02:36:09.360
I would have fun in Yukon.
I think I was come to Minnesota.

2296
02:36:09.479 --> 02:36:13.559
It's cold here. No, Mary, you have to travel that far to

2297
02:36:13.600 --> 02:36:22.079
eat a toe? Yeah, you
eat tones all the time. The funny

2298
02:36:24.319 --> 02:36:26.920
fair that like we're all take like
little mini shots at us. But at

2299
02:36:26.959 --> 02:36:31.200
the end of this episode, I'm
a fucking no, no, don't don't

2300
02:36:31.639 --> 02:36:37.680
make him beat anything else toe,
fucking little freak. That's all for the

2301
02:36:37.760 --> 02:36:39.840
record, that that's what happened.
That's all, Mike. That's all,

2302
02:36:39.879 --> 02:36:46.159
Mike. I've accused you of nothing. I've been I've been paraded around is

2303
02:36:46.239 --> 02:36:50.520
the freakiest one of this group,
and that's outrageous. You make bits about

2304
02:36:50.760 --> 02:36:58.319
me liking terrible people all the time. You fuck trees Dan apparently doesn't suck

2305
02:36:58.360 --> 02:37:05.000
anything. And I'm sitting here I
should be the neutral party should be.

2306
02:37:05.280 --> 02:37:09.600
I'm somewhere in the middle of Fine. We'll leave you to your Nixon.

2307
02:37:09.799 --> 02:37:16.319
Oh right, that's your thing.
Yeah, I would go with I would

2308
02:37:16.360 --> 02:37:18.319
go with vodka. But if you
want something flavorful of maybe, I don't

2309
02:37:18.319 --> 02:37:24.479
know the maybe. In honor of
Louis Lichn, the original toe donator,

2310
02:37:24.120 --> 02:37:28.200
drink it with rum. He was
a rum runner. Pay him some respect

2311
02:37:28.280 --> 02:37:33.399
with some rum. I love that. Do it for Lin. All right,

2312
02:37:33.479 --> 02:37:39.120
Thank you Phil from Calgary. That's
our show. We do have to

2313
02:37:39.239 --> 02:37:46.959
reiterate you now. I wrote this
down. You have where'd it go?

2314
02:37:50.079 --> 02:37:54.479
This is a great radio Oh you
have until Saturday, September third, not

2315
02:37:54.639 --> 02:38:00.680
too long from now to buy our
fire Escape in Space shirt. It's a

2316
02:38:00.719 --> 02:38:03.079
limited run shirt, so you've got
several more days to buy it if you

2317
02:38:03.120 --> 02:38:07.399
haven't already. We got a bunch
of people who are going to be sporting

2318
02:38:07.479 --> 02:38:11.840
that in their hometowns and maybe at
trade shows and we see them. You

2319
02:38:11.959 --> 02:38:15.760
can go to fireskatecast dot com,
which is our Patreon and'll bring you there.

2320
02:38:15.840 --> 02:38:18.360
It's just it's posted there. It's
also on our Instagram. Mary has

2321
02:38:18.399 --> 02:38:22.520
put it up on our social channels. It's the easiest way to get it,

2322
02:38:22.120 --> 02:38:26.319
or if you want to go slightly
more roundabout way, just go to

2323

bonfire dot com. Most of our
merch is on Fireskate merch dot com.

2324
02:38:31.399 --> 02:38:33.879
This limited run shirt is through a
different company called Bonfire, so it's over

2325
02:38:33.959 --> 02:38:39.079
there. Go grab it while it's
still available for several more days. Mary,

2326
02:38:39.120 --> 02:38:46.319
I took your merch thing, so
you can do my normal. I

2327
02:38:46.559 --> 02:38:50.120
love doing podcasts, but I don't
really know how to read, so I

2328
02:38:50.200 --> 02:38:52.639
hope everybody else can help me do
it. Dan, what do we do

2329
02:38:52.760 --> 02:38:56.399
next? Oh geez, well,
I thought you were going to toss to

2330
02:38:56.440 --> 02:39:01.000
Marry for something. It has been
mic set talking all the time signing off.

2331
02:39:01.120 --> 02:39:03.360
This is the podcast. So go
to go work out? Oh wow,

2332
02:39:03.559 --> 02:39:09.799
yeah, what kind of one?
My bench press can't bench bark very

2333
02:39:09.879 --> 02:39:13.840
much because I don't have any core. But like I, all these muscles

2334
02:39:13.319 --> 02:39:20.760
do little caps off with my dead
lips. Mike, that's it. That's

2335
02:39:20.799 --> 02:39:26.120
my impression of myself. Mike,
Wait, what why am I? This

2336
02:39:26.200 --> 02:39:31.600
is really getting deep into the impressions. That's what you sound like. That's

2337
02:39:31.680 --> 02:39:33.639
what they've always said, Dan,
what do you Dan? What are you

2338
02:39:33.680 --> 02:39:39.879
have going on? Oh? What
are you doing? An impression of her

2339
02:39:39.959 --> 02:39:43.399
doing a prench. She was really
accurate. What are you going on?

2340
02:39:43.879 --> 02:39:50.040
Giant Bom dot com, Twitch dot
tv, slash Dan Reichord I'm going to

2341
02:39:50.200 --> 02:39:54.040
Canada next month and I'm doing commentary
on a pro wrestling show with Evil Uno

2342
02:39:54.159 --> 02:39:58.440
of AW. It'll be live stream
on Twitch, Twitch dot tv, slash

2343
02:39:58.520 --> 02:40:03.040
Evil Know Mystery Wresting for October twenty
second. I'll see you in Quebec or

2344
02:40:03.399 --> 02:40:05.719
I'll see you on Twitch there.
It'll be a fun time. It's gonna

2345
02:40:05.719 --> 02:40:07.760
be a weird show. I've been
talking to you know a lot about it.

2346
02:40:07.920 --> 02:40:11.479
Got some good, good ideas going
on here? What part of Quebec?

2347
02:40:11.760 --> 02:40:18.479
I'm looking at him thing now centrally, dude, get Quebec. I'm

2348
02:40:18.559 --> 02:40:24.200
flying into Ottawa. Leave it's the
nation's capital. You're flying into Ottawa to

2349
02:40:24.280 --> 02:40:26.360
go up to Quebec. Yeah?
Is that weird? No? I guess

2350
02:40:26.399 --> 02:40:31.920
I mean it. No, I
guess that can make sense. I think

2351
02:40:31.920 --> 02:40:33.200
that's from flying. I don't know. I book my flight. They're not

2352
02:40:33.360 --> 02:40:37.959
super far. I mean Ottawa itself
is right there. I'm just saying I

2353
02:40:37.000 --> 02:40:39.559
don't know what part of Quebec.
You're on now? Yeah, flying to

2354
02:40:39.559 --> 02:40:43.639
Ottawa. Yep, Sweet Mary?
What do you have going on? Mostly

2355
02:40:43.719 --> 02:40:48.799
Twitch related things? Because twitch Con
is coming up in October. I was

2356
02:40:48.920 --> 02:40:54.799
so lucky. It just so happens
that it's like six days after your wedding,

2357
02:40:54.959 --> 02:40:58.639
so I can. I was really
threaded that needle this year in Paris

2358
02:40:58.680 --> 02:41:03.799
from New York. I'm so the
second Twitch Con is in Vegas, so

2359
02:41:03.239 --> 02:41:07.840
I will go from New York to
Vegas, probably directly, but that'll be

2360
02:41:07.920 --> 02:41:11.120
fun. So doing that looking forward
to your wedding. And that's it.

2361
02:41:13.159 --> 02:41:16.639
Sick. I'm over at Polygon.
Got some stuff up over there. Go

2362
02:41:16.799 --> 02:41:20.360
check it out. Uh, that's
our show. That's episode sixty four.

2363
02:41:22.280 --> 02:41:26.040
Woo, it's been good. We
gotta we might gotta figure out some recording

2364
02:41:26.079 --> 02:41:30.159
around wedding stuff. I might be
missing an episode before you guys get here.

2365
02:41:31.159 --> 02:41:33.719
It's on a few months. I
think we probably all got a lot

2366
02:41:33.760 --> 02:41:37.079
going on, five, are we. Yeah, we'll talk, we'll figure

2367
02:41:37.079 --> 02:41:39.879
out. If we're all going to
the Game Awards, we'll probably have one.

2368
02:41:41.479 --> 02:41:43.360
I don't I'm not going to.
I don't think I'll probably we'll have

2369
02:41:43.399 --> 02:41:48.600
an episode up like right before the
wedding again. We can always sub end

2370
02:41:48.600 --> 02:41:52.200
if somebody can't make it, so
we will continue. We haven't missed a

2371
02:41:52.280 --> 02:42:00.680
Sunday yet, have we? No? No a Monday up? Oh yeah

2372
02:42:00.719 --> 02:42:05.319

given Mondays, any given Monday back.
