3
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:27.320
to Mark Cuban and the Mavericks,
a little bit of why some things that

4
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.119
might have happened. Also how that
might affect the Rangers as well. Yes,

5
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.560
Bally, we'll get into that at
seven, and some other things.

what you have to do. Yeah,

12
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:07.200
but it involves the app the song
X also known as Twitter and following it

13
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:15.439
ninety seven one The Freak. So
Danny before the most important to make sure

14
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.359
everybody's in position? Is everyone good? A lot going on? No,

15
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.760
I'm good, I'm worried about eight
o'clock. I think we're go get in

16
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:29.359
trouble. He's singing, Yeah,
what the we're plugging Christmas Street. Yes,

17
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:34.439
you're worried. You're worried about the
I'm worried about the sales, yes,

18
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.079
very much so. But I'm worried
about, uh, the content as

19
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:46.239
well, very much so. I've
never thought, dude, Okay, if

20
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.120
we're gonna get in trouble for something, that'll be it. Like people will

21
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.000
be mad texterters and whatever. Someone's
gonna swear. You know, I can't

22
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.599
believe you guys made fun of that. Yeah, that's not funny. That

23
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.200
is not exactly well, don't sound
the smoke alarm on it. Just let

24
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.760
it happen. A lot of people
are looking. But look, let's face

25
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:12.000
it. To cancel you. Life
is a combination of comedies and tragedies.

26
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.479
We try to bring those things together. Indeed, on the downbeat, right,

27
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.240
well, we were at eight o'clock
when we try to sell you the

28
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.159
downbeat Christmas tree topper at small stores
across the metropolite by playing audio from this

29
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.599
exciting product, I feel like this
is more relatable than the Halloween ones.

30
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.479
Though we stayed out of the big
you know the big chains, nah,

31
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:38.199
No, Target, Walmart, No, No more relatable to the common person.

32
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.319
Now, we did the lower the
price of each one to make our

33
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.400
money back for the Halloween thing.
So don't worry so much about that that

34
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.840
we raised the price up to fifty
nine ninety two. It's weird taxes.

35
00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.360
Speaking of tragedies, I wanted to
share something with you guys that uh I

36
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.360
was not aware of prior because this
is a demographic that I do not cross

37
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:12.560
paths with. So the little Man
and I were out and about over my

38
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:17.319
little break last week, and we
decided to go to a very popular chicken

39
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.960
finger spot in town. Really,
he wanted nugs, he wanted strippies.

40
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.439
He wanted chicken, Like, you
know what, that sounds great, let's

41
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.960
go get some chick. Gosh.
He did not want to go to the

42
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.560
car wash. He wanted chicken,
damn it. So we went to a

43
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.319
very popular chicken spot in Mesquite and
ordered our food. We're sitting down and

44
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.840
you know, he's lately been very
gregarious and talking to people. If he

45
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.919
sees a man, he goes hi, guy. If he sees a woman,

46
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:51.000
he goes hi, lady. So
he's talking to everybody and just you

47
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.000
know, making friends, and everybody
thinks he's cute, and you know,

48
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.639
oh hey, I'm talking back,
so you know, I'm having to kind

49
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.800
of look away from our table to
see who he's talking to. And as

50
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.479
I'm looking around this chicken spot,
I'm noticing it's a Friday night, Okay,

51
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.439
so I'm sorry, it was a
Saturday night. And I'm thinking,

52
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.039
man, this place is packed with
kids, like middle school high school kids.

53
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.599
This must be where they hang out. It was right over there by

54
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.519
North Mesquite High School, so I'm
thinking this is a place where kids congregate.

55
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.240
You know, they all have them. We had them when we were

56
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.560
kids, where we all hung out
with your friends. And I'm looking around

57
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.920
and it's like, probably, I
would say forty percent full of what appeared

58
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.759
to be anywhere between eight and eighth
grade and eleventh or twelfth grade, so

59
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.519
middle school, late middle school,
high school girls. And I'll be damned

60
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:47.920
if upon further investigation, I didn't
notice they're all wearing with small variations from

61
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:55.120
one person to another, the exact
same outfit. Interesting, and I want

62
00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:00.639
JJ to have ears on this because
you're thirty one, is that correct?

63
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.199
So you're the closest to having left
high school out of all of us.

64
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:10.360
And you're a female, I've never
noticed this before, but these are white

65
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:15.000
girls in Mesquite. Every single one
of them were wearing and I'm gonna line

66
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:21.839
item this, some form of flannel
pajama bottoms. Okay, like a plaid

67
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:30.920
print flannel pajama. They were wearing
either Chuck Taylor tennis shoes, the Converse

68
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:38.399
Chuck Taylor All Stars, or a
slip in fuzzy ugs type house slipper.

69
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.199
They were wearing some sort of graphic
T shirt that either had like a retro

70
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.120
band or something else on it,
and then over the T shirt were wearing

71
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:55.079
hoodies, zip up hoodies that were
unzipped every and their hair all scrunched up

72
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.519
or in some form of ponytail or
they look like they were They should have

73
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.839
been like a slumber party or like
a girl's you know, stay at home

74
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.399
little event where they're all super comfy
and loungey, right, but they were

75
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.199
out. This was a Friday night
out on the town at a very popular

76
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.480
chicken spot. And every one of
them, and I'm talking like dude,

77
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.720
at least a dozen high school aged
girls were all dressed exactly the same.

78
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:26.120
And I don't know if this is
and they weren't like all together, no

79
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.519
y yeah, no, no,
no no school like no a team.

80
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.040
No. This was like it's seven
o'clock on a Friday or Saturday night,

81
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.480
so a weekend night, no school
the next day. It's a night that

82
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:41.000
you would think, hey, let's
go I don't know, getting gussied up

83
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.680
and go meet boys. But no, they all wanted to go eat chicken

84
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.120
and dressed like the biggest group of
slouches I've ever seen in my life.

85
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.480
And like I said, they were
at separate tables. They weren't talking to

86
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.920
other tables, but they may have
been headed to like a church lock in

87
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.399
type thing. That's what it looked
like. But I don't know that's why

88
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:02.959
party or is that just no,
it's more likely just that's how they dress.

89
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.800
Cycle of the style and can you
look at the like does it?

90
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:12.000
Billie Eilish kind of dressed real slouchy
like that with big clothes. I mean,

91
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:17.319
she has been quoted saying, quote, I love pajama. Yeah,

92
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.800
she kind of wears a little bit
of everything now though she she'll dress up

93
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.279
when she needs to sometimes to JJ
has been known to quote things that are

94
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:34.199
just completely not quote. You can't
even because yesterday and then followed up with

95
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:39.160
she didn't say that, but she
did quote that she loves hugs. So

96
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:43.079
the I bring this up just because
it could have been, you know,

97
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.600
a lock in or an event where
they're all together. But the thing that

98
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.399
this is kind of that nobody was
talking to other tables, you know,

99
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.720
so you would think if they were
all there as a group, yeah,

100
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.759
maybe then they would be, you
know, shouting at other tables and Christine

101
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.680
over here, here's some chicken.
I like. You see these memes every

102
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:09.040
now and again, they'd be shouting
to each other, loving, loving fingers.

103
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:15.560
The mentality to conform is interesting,
and you see them, you see

104
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.920
memes like this. I remember a
few years ago there was a picture of

105
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.000
all these girls and somebody said,
oh, it's Han Solo season because they

106
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:28.120
all had like high boots, like
dark jeans and like a vest. They

107
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.360
all were dressed like Han Solo,
Like nine of ten girls. They all

108
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.120
dressed exactly the same. And also
the trend was like they wear like real

109
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.000
short shorts with like a long T
shirt that kind of goes over the shorts.

110
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.720
Even I don't know why I don't. It's not our apartment, Like

111
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.759
what do we know? But these
odd trends do sort of burn bright and

112
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:50.840
then burn out and change into something
else really quickly. And man, at

113
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.960
that age, like what you just
want to fit in, blend in.

114
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.480
I think that's what it was.
Yeah, but Friday, Yeah, I

115
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.960
don't know. Girls were girls wearing
that kind of were weird, but you

116
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.360
were in high school. Look,
I get it, let's dress for some

117
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.720
comfort, but I'm just on a
Friday night, was a little surprised.

118
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.440
Makes sense. It is ugs season. I know the white girls low their

119
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.200
ugsugs, but it's just the pajama
pants that are throwing me. And the

120
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.360
sweatshirt. That makes sense too,
because i've here. I mean, I

121
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.039
have friends who are teachers and they
it was the pajama They were not degrees

122
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.399
outside. Every the one thing that
was consistent, and it weren't the exact

123
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.480
same print, but it was all
plaid flannel pajama pants of different colors,

124
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.440
you know, depending on who the
person was, but that was the consistent

125
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.559
everybody had on pajama pants. Okay, I don't like to uh, you

126
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.440
know, I mentioned the corporate chain
or whatever, but let's let's get real

127
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.440
for a second here. Okay,
this is a Chick fil a Danny.

128
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.360
No, it was not. No, it was the other one, because

129
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:56.360
it was the raising knee was post. He's supposed to show up. Okay,

130
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.799
I'm getting some all right, here
come the texts. Here they come.

131
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.200
Here comes a wave of texts from
Danny Baylis. All right. One

132
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:11.440
person says school spirit week. One
person says that last Friday was pajama Day

133
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.720
for her daughter's school. But this
one person says, exactly what my fifteen

134
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.879
year old daughter wears every day.
I don't think this was a pajama day

135
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.840
thing. And usually school spirit week
is during like homecoming. It's usually yeah,

136
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.840
not before Christmas. Yeah. One
person says, I've noticed this clothing

137
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:33.080
trend as well in the Northern Burbs. This is a thing. I'm telling

138
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.480
you, this is a thing that's
crazy. I think there's I've never heard

139
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:41.200
of it. But pajama Day seems
like seems like it's well, this is

140
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.159
Saturday, though, so it wasn't
like it's school. It's Friday night.

141
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.840
I could see the pajama day.
Yeah, but no, you said this

142
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.960
was Saturday, right, it was
a Friday or Saturday no, you know,

143
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.840
I could have been a Saturday.
I don't remember, but I know

144
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.159
it was not a school night.
I knew that the kids did not have

145
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.279
school the next day. Well,
I mean we can point and I guess

146
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:09.720
question this. But when you were
in bands or whatever age you guys all

147
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.080
had, you had hair that you
regret now, yes, and pants that

148
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.039
are tight, right, and a
T shirt with a skull. Man it

149
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.399
is it's just look to your right, ding dong, it's right there.

150
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.360
The only thing missing from that outfit, and that is what I wore pretty

151
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:33.519
much every day at school. Were
very very tight tapered black or some kind

152
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.279
of acid wash, you know,
gene the high top sneaks with the tongue

153
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.919
sticking out, and you would lace
them all the way up so the tongue

154
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.919
is kind of flopping around. A
rock and roll T shirt, some band

155
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.759
T shirt, and then either like
a leather jacket or a flannel shirt over

156
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.799
the top. And that's what all
your friends wore too, right. There

157
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.360
was only about three or four of
us that were kind of like rock and

158
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.559
roll metal dudes in high school,
and we all exactly the same. So

159
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.600
I'm not knocking this. I just
find it to be an interesting trend that

160
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:09.759
we've just evolved into. Well,
let's just wear pajamas wild And a lot

161
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.120
of teenagers don't want to get their
driver's license. And I'm sure we were

162
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.320
all in the same boat at counting
down the days until we were sixteen and

163
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.559
could go drive. And there's a
lot of teens who don't even want to

164
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.840
go, you know, drive.
Well, what says someone said, it's

165
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.960
a fad? How about the scraggy
little beards the men are all wearing now?

166
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.240
Yeah, I see that. One
three of us have beards, and

167
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.720
point eight years ago, I don't
even know when it started. You didn't

168
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.159
see too many beards. I can't
remember the last time I actually fully shaved

169
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.799
my face. It's been probably fifteen
years. One guy goes, we're a

170
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.759
woman, says, we're in Burlison, and my stepdaughter has worn that exact

171
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.600
outfit her entire school career. Yeah, I guess so, I do orthodonics.

172
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.240
I've seen this trend in many teen
patients. Hey, I had to

173
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:03.679
buy his fifteen year old and his
girlfriend matching plaid PJ pants. That's kipping

174
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.759
over all the black people wearing uggs
and death the blow city here I don't

175
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:11.240
know if I I don't think think
I fully agree with that. My best

176
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.480
friend and I were talking about this
with her daughter yesterday. They all dress

177
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.279
like hobos. Now she says,
well, there's and there's something that just

178
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.440
being comfortable when you're trapped in the
prison that is school, because that is

179
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.600
what you think it is at that
age. But there's dress code. They

180
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.840
would never let us in school back
then show up at pals unless it's like

181
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:37.080
a spirit day whatever. Really,
yeah, no, there's there's dress code.

182
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.759
They're very strict on that they are
wearing this to school. Well maybe

183
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.039
they are, Maybe it's just a
couple people are saying that they are.

184
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:50.399
They don't. First of all,
where's COVID go. Everything goes back to

185
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.559
COVID or whatever, and these kids
qulit go into school for a while,

186
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.399
so they had that. I didn't
think. I think the big city schools

187
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.080
are way more loose than the small
down schools. Yeah, you're probably right,

188
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.480
Yeah, you're absolutely right to do
it. I didn't think about that.

189
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.679
The COVID comfort zone that we all
got in for a couple of years,

190
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.960
where everybody's staying at home, schooling
from home. Maybe they just took

191
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.200
the house comfort outfit back to school
and they just you know, that's what

192
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.480
I wear. Now, dude's a
boon for the pajama industry. I'm kind

193
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:26.159
of liking it. And I'm at
home all the time and I'll go to

194
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.840
consumer value stores or I'll go run
a quick erran and plaid PJ is no

195
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:37.879
problem at all. Let's come to
anything. Let's all do it. Let's

196
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.519
do like the family one. Why
are we even wearing shoes? Yeah,

197
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.799
somedays I don't pjs. Somedays I
rest my feet. Uh. Let's oh

198
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.519
my favorite text of that wave of
text that came in on the South seas

199
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:56.159
that are two and four eight when
is Hey, guys, they just stopped

200
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:01.440
by three different race tracks, and
uh, they're all sold out of downbeat

201
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.360
Christmas tree toppers. So that's good
news. All right, we're getting out

202
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.480
and buying them. We'll give you
a little sample at that at eight o'clock.

203
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.759
Now, let's skip the most Important
Thing in the World song, even

204
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:16.120
though I love it. You just
watched that trailer on YouTube. Oh yeah,

205
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.080
I sent to you guys right when
I saw it. Yeah, GTA

206
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:24.320
the new trailer for Grand Theft Auto
six said, Grand Theftot was wild.

207
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.639
Played a little bit of it in
my past, including the time Ben gave

208
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.399
me a copy of it because he
bought the game and then realized that you

209
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:33.840
can get a lap dance and you
get more than that. No, well,

210
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.320
so this is ten years ago.
And then Ben gave me Grand Theft

211
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.440
Out. Oh what was probably four
or five at that time. He handed

212
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.279
you the disc. He's like,
yeah, man, I don't know if

213
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.759
Maxim Miles need to be seeing this. I didn't know it was that bad.

214
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.039
I was like, hell, yeah, it was the disc. It

215
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.279
was ten years ago, so I
think that was Grand Theft of Five,

216
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.720
right, ten years ago? Yeah, ten years ago. Yes, that

217
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.399
was been a long time since a
new Boy came out, so we're teasing

218
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.399
the new one now. I remember
in the aughts, whatever it was,

219
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.600
maybe it was for that one to
come out, or four for San Andreas

220
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.519
to come out. I remember counting
the days, and that was early Internet

221
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:14.919
and I'm just scouring for screenshots.
I was so excited for it to come

222
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.200
out. I was playing a lot
of games at the time. Those games

223
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:19.039
are fun, they're sandbox style.
You're in this open world. I mean,

224
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.759
I think Rockstar that's the company that
made it like this made them,

225
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:30.159
no doubt, and no game has
driven parents more insane than Grand Theft Auto

226
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:36.759
in video game history. Rightly so, because yes, we all twenty years

227
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.000
ago said, wait, you can
get a hooker in this game, and

228
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.279
then when you're done in your car, you grab that same car and run

229
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:51.679
her over and take your money back, which absolutely is a very normal thing

230
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:57.000
to do in life or in the
game. In the game. So can

231
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.320
you imagine I mean, the congressional
discussions about this sort of thing, and

232
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:06.319
there's a viable question like, yeah, that's why they have age restrictions on

233
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:10.000
who can purchase it, which is
really weird because video games are so associated

234
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.839
with children. But it's like where's
the bucks stop though, where you start

235
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.920
centering every rated R movie? You
know, well, but they're rated R

236
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.359
TV. They're not for kids under
seventeen. You know, that's an interesting

237
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.160
little gray area that that happened.
You know, when they have to label

238
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:29.440
video games with the rating essentially and
rated E for everyone or no mature audiences,

239
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:33.240
you know, it's very because these
games are incredible, but it doesn't

240
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.079
matter. They've always been at the
high end of the front end of graphics

241
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:40.079
and interface and all this stuff,
and they drop this damn trailer. They're

242
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.119
going back to Vice City, which
is Miami, Florida. The original Vice

243
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:49.400
City was in the eighties Scarface era
cocaine in Miami, but this one is

244
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:53.160
a modern Florida. Oh look,
even if you don't play video games,

245
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:57.559
just google GTA six trailer. It
just came out. Watch the most recent

246
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:00.160
when it came out, like two
or three days. Yeah, yes,

247
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:07.200
because what I can't get over is
how gorgeous it looks, how perfect that

248
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.400
blend that they have been aspiring to
find of. Can't tell if it's a

249
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:18.200
game or real life as you expect. Yeah, one question I had,

250
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.079
and you played these games semi recently
the GTAs, No, I mean not

251
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.680
for like ten years, okay,
but this will definitely apply. You notice

252
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:34.160
that on the trailers they tend to
show or feature more of the the narrative

253
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:41.640
footage, which always is better than
the gameplay graphics. Like it's almost like

254
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.880
a little movie, you know,
where you have like a transition from one

255
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.759
thing or one level to the next
or whatever, and it's like a part

256
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.759
of the storyline where whatever's happening,
and then then you're in the car and

257
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:59.079
you're driving around, and it looks
not obviously not as good as the movie.

258
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.359
I was wondering if what we saw
in this GTA trailer was mostly that

259
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.839
and not the actual gameplay. Uh, probably in some sense, because it's

260
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.400
not like the third person view that
you'll play the actual game in. But

261
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.440
man, I think it's all so
blended now that you are essentially playing within

262
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:21.400
and living within those interstitials or those
transitions that are so like a movie.

263
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:23.960
Yeah, when when they're rolling,
when you're rolling through some of those neighborhoods

264
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:29.079
and you've got the gang dudes out
in the front porch, you know,

265
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.839
hanging out with the I mean,
the detail on everything is so lifelike.

266
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:36.680
If ever, was the guy in
the yard in his underwear just watering the

267
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:40.000
yard when he's wear an advisor,
Yeah, just in his underwear an advisor.

268
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:45.200
I mean the nuance of the subtleties
of life in Florida or a caricature

269
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:48.920
of life in Florida are capturing this
ninety second thing, including like a guy

270
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:55.839
with a chain thing dragging an alligator
out of a swimming pool. And there's

271
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:57.920
a girl that, like some girls
in a Muddy Music Fest and they're wearing

272
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.160
like American flagman and danas and they're
like, hey, like having fun.

273
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:04.839
Yeah, there's the Sisters torking on
top of a car in South Beach.

274
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.279
It's like close, it's real.
It's so close to damn real. I

275
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:12.559
can't. I mean, I've expected
this game to come out. It's been

276
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.519
you know, people have been waiting
for a long time. And the problem

277
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.720
is it doesn't come out until twenty
twenty five. Wow, and the trailer

278
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.720
just dropped two days ago. They're
getting way ahead of it. But they

279
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.720
did that in the past. When
the last one dropped, they released the

280
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.599
trailer or the teaser video, if
that's what you're gonna call this, over

281
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.440
a year before the game actually came
out. I don't believe it's been twelve

282
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.440
years since they did. Grant that's
out of five. That's nuts to me.

283
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.200
And did you agree with what I
texted back to you that in five

284
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.319
years what we just saw on this
trailer is going to look dated. Well

285
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.960
it's that not the Bell curve whatever, exponential yeah whatever, So yeah,

286
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.359
yes, yes, that will look
dated in probably five years. But that

287
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:51.039
game, the last one, they
had a lot of online updates and that

288
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.400
sort of thing to keep it fresh. And that's why the last iteration of

289
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:57.960
Grand Theft Auto survived and succeeded as
long as it did. Was there a

290
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:04.599
story were out there that somebody was
looking at Dallas as being a potential template

291
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.519
for a new GTA. I've not
heard that. Love it? How cool

292
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.279
will that be? They could?
I would? I would buy it?

293
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.880
How I would buy it? You
you who don't game anymore, I think

294
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.559
you could do this because there's the
odd pola. I played it a bunch

295
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.000
back in the day. So they
had the online component, which I think

296
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.640
scares people who got out of gaming, because you want to get online,

297
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.359
you get slaughtered by everyone, not
survive more than more than one second.

298
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.440
But the campaign, it's even if
you get GTA six, put it in

299
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.759
play yourself, be a tutorial to
tell you how to run around, how

300
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.880
to interact with people, press this
button, a hijack a car and then

301
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:42.039
yeah, then how to hijack a
jetliner and flat across the map. Because

302
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:48.119
they've they've had it, did they
have like boats and and uh everything play

303
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:55.319
everything helicopter jet skis, boats,
helicopters, hot air balloons, planes,

304
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:59.799
isn't the objective to do as much
crap as possible but draw the least amount

305
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:04.319
of to yourself because the more mayhem
that you create and get involved in,

306
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.519
it draws the attention of the police. So then you end up, you

307
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.359
know, running for more and more
cops. So, oh, he stole

308
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.640
this helicopter. Now they're bringing out
the big gun. Well yeah, when

309
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.480
you get the FEDS going, you
get five stars, then the FBI and

310
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:21.000
everybody's coming after you. Yeah,
they have helicopters chase you. That's kind

311
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:22.599
of the fun of it. If
you just run somebody over, it's one

312
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.000
star. You go hide in a
trash can for thirty seconds, that star

313
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:32.720
disappears. I mean it's really fun. Now, the impact on society,

314
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:37.960
let's hope that's not contributing, but
I think everything contributed contributes. Yeah,

315
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.119
it does. It all does.
So anyway, grand Theft thought it was

316
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:42.880
sick. It looks badass. Stay
tuned a year and a half from now.

317
