WEBVTT

1
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.399
God, let's start start the episode
with a sneeze. Yeah, I can't

2
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:26.839
help it. That was any bigger, Twitter would have rippled with like uh

3
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:33.119
notifications that they felt vibrations. It
was just crazy how insane those sneezels were.

4
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.799
Do you ee in threes or is
it always two with you? I

5
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.479
don't know if I have a number, but I usually sneeze more than once,

6
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.719
usually two. Yeah. Interesting,
I'm sure I've asked us. But

7
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.079
do either you have the photo sneeze
reflex the sun sneezing things? I do.

8
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.799
I have it sometime, not every
time, I consider, because I

9
00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:03.079
don't have a reflex. Sorry you're
saying it's really funny, like to use

10
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.200
it as a power. When you're
like I kind of need to sneeze,

11
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.519
you open up a window and look
at the sun, and you're like,

12
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.480
I'll make it happen. I will
make it happen. I will maguy for

13
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.319
this sneeze. Yeah. Sometimes it's
right on the brink. And it doesn't

14
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:17.159
have to be the sun doesn't have
to be the window. If it's a

15
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.319
bright light, you can do it. Or you leave a movie during the

16
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.879
day, you get it, and
sneezing is a good feeling. It's like

17
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.040
sneezing, pooping, these things that
are like, you know, just gross,

18
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.400
weird body things. But like,
let's not get ourselves. This feels

19
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.519
good to do you know them,
rate them sneezing versus them fuse sneezing,

20
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:38.560
pooping and coming Jesus, I don't
want to we're not working blue here,

21
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:44.359
come on for me? It is
Oh sorry, I enjoyed city for the

22
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.719
last one. Oh sorry, I
like doing this thing that my body's supposed

23
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.359
to like do I know? But
how do you compare that? These are

24
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.359
different things? They think sneezing and
pooping is like a nice innocent just like,

25
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.400
ah, that felt good versus like, you know, like it's that's

26
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:08.080
filthy. This isn't nine, This
is a nine. Oh yeah, I

27
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:14.199
rate them every time they happen.
Oh my god, degenerate. I would

28
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.759
say. Sneezing is really up there
for me, but it can get annoying.

29
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.439
So like my first sneeze is solid
nine, the second sneeze is an

30
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.719
eight, and if I third sneeze
it's like a four. I'm pissed by

31
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.120
then I no longer wish to have
them, and anyone after that is like

32
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.080
one stop it. I don't like
you anymore. I'm so consistent with my

33
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.000
sneezes and the one two that I
think they're both just solid eights and I'm

34
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.759
good. There's not a lot of
fluctuation there. Like a poop. Here's

35
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.800
the deal with a poop. It's
like, I'm gonna get poop in a

36
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.240
six because it does feel really good, but it's just so objectively gross.

37
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.120
It's just a turd and it's stinky, and it's just just nasty stuff.

38
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.879
It's not. A sneeze is pretty
innocent. You might get a little bit

39
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.240
of a stuff in your beard,
but like you know, that wipes away

40
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.479
pretty quick. You get your hand
down near your asshole. You know this

41
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.520
is Meanwhile, I'm drinking a nice
Russo do multa Chino for the episode.

42
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:15.879
Felt appropriate. How does that compare
it to coming this this one? I'll

43
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.840
fuse this at a seven. It's
good, good for it. I like

44
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.439
the sneeze is the ones that come
out of absolutely nowhere for some reason feel

45
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.120
better for me. I like the
one's mid talking, like in mid conversation,

46
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.919
and you make the stupid face and
the person's waiting for it like that,

47
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.560
you know what that face reminds me
of Oh, come on, some

48
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:39.800
star muscles and nerve endings. Yeah, how are you? This is episode

49
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.479
eighty. Yay, we forgot to
intro. Let's do it? Wait?

50
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.599
Come on being professional? Hey,
everybody, welcome back to the fire Scape

51
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.439
cast. It's episode eighty. Oh
chenta, I'm Mike. Here is always

52
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:57.919
with Dan, Hello and Mary.
Yay. I'm gonna be my own hype

53
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:03.719
man because I don't have none on
this podcast. A drum roll? Oh,

54
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.759
I used to. I don't think
I have it right now. I'm

55
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:12.560
sorry. I got drum. It's
a drum, that's a rim shot ipe.

56
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.360
That's the same instrument to one of
the same instruments. Mm hmm,

57
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:23.360
I there's I've been watching a lot
of TV lately, if you watch it.

58
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:30.000
We finished Showgun. Oh yeah,
okay, I'm not gonna spoil anything

59
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.560
about any of these shows. We
finished Showgun, we started Fallout, and

60
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:39.519
then we also okay, so we
finished Showgun. I like that show quite

61
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:45.480
a bit without spoiling anything. My
only gripe is that it's not even really

62
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:51.319
a gripe in a show about like
the subversive and the ways you could be

63
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:57.680
a saboteur and you utilize espionage to
avoid war but still get to the end

64
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.600
or like as means to an end. Sometimes I did want more fighting,

65
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.439
I will admit, just because their
action, their brief action scenes were really

66
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.920
good. But I mean, like
this, that's not what the show is

67
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.360
about the show. The characters are
great, Dan, have you been watching

68
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.480
it? I have not. I
wish. I just I don't know why

69
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.600
I don't find time to watch TV
that much or movies or anything like it's

70
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:23.360
quick, it's only I mean,
it's really good HBO quality. Dude.

71
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.879
I was like, this is HBO
quality? Is it Hulu? Yeah,

72
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.040
it's shockingly good quality for Hulu.
Yeah. I associate Hulu with Bob's Burgers,

73
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:40.079
And I was like, this is
you have outdone yourself, like Hulu

74
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.639
is on on the and yeah,
but fucking the Bear. It doesn't have

75
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.959
like crazy fight sequences and like dead
people all the time. It's people cooking

76
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:51.319
in a kitchen. Like that's not
high budget. This is high budget.

77
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.639
This definitely has a higher budget than
the Bear. Question. They're sick but

78
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:04.920
outrageous. I like the show.
They're making soup and then they're like arguing

79
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:10.439
about how it gets done, like
it's a budget was probably two hundred dollars.

80
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.279
I know you're just trying to I
will agree Showgun clearly has a higher

81
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.560
budget than The Bear, but let's
not downplay the Bear. Why thank you

82
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.959
for giving me that win. I
give you that. This is not about

83
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:29.000
like which show is better. I
think they are very different shows. But

84
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.680
Showgun has like crazy, like the
amount of green screen they must have used

85
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:38.240
to have these like massive backgrounds.
They have those like Game of Throne shots

86
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.519
where it's like and Game of Thrones
intro. You know, Game of Thrones

87
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.439
has that very iconic intro where it's
like, yeah, miniatures, and yes

88
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:50.800
it does that too. But with
Zen gardens, ships, yeah, the

89
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:56.800
little toys. It's cute. But
anyway, they make these giant castles in

90
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:01.040
the backgrounds when like everybody's riding their
horses into town. It's wild. How

91
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.759
how big they make these landscapes,
and they do massive sweeping shots over like

92
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:11.319
old Japan towns. It's cool.
Soup. I have been to uh Oh,

93
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.120
I said, I have been to
Osaka Castle, the real one with

94
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.240
timor Hussein. We've been inside it. It's cool. So it's cool to

95
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.079
see it in whatever they envision it. Cgi wise, but yeah, there's

96
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:26.600
like no sweeping shots in the Bear. Yes there are of Chicago. Oh

97
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.800
yeah, everybody wants those. The
show literally open. I'm a sweeping shot

98
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.759
of him on a bridge facing off
with a literal bear. This shows an

99
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.560
eight out of ten, but nobody
ever has. There's just not enough sweeping

100
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:42.839
shots of Chicago. They sweep the
kitchen, Mike keep in to that castle

101
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.199
in Osaka, Japan. Like you
know, I'm watching Sopranos and I've driven

102
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:47.439
by the bottom bang a bunch,
so it's pretty much the same thing.

103
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.439
Oh, every time I come home
from work, I go the path Tony

104
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.120
takes up until Hoboken. Oh,
I just don't cross like the Pulaski Skyway.

105
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.319
No, but Shogun's really good.
But like I should clarify, it's

106
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.240
not that I wanted more action.
I think it's just the show itself is

107
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:07.360
kind of built on anti climax,
and often, as it is designed to

108
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.560
do, that will lead to like
momentum crashes. So do you eve an

109
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.560
anti climax out of ten? It's
like the opposite of company, That's what

110
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.399
I'm saying. Zero zero, Yeah, was that our first ever zero have

111
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.680
anti climac Make that a make that
a shirt. Oh wait, Mary,

112
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.559
we'll talk more about it later,
but UH, well, we'll plug it

113
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.159
later, but tell people about our
new or new threads that we got coming

114
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.559
out. I think we should plug
it now. And I appreciate you saying

115
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:45.200
that. I spent some time going
through UH our merch line and I half

116
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:54.559
constructed what I consider a real good
summer UH announcement of like new swag and

117
00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:00.360
clothes summer catalog Summer. That's that's
what I wanted to say. We should

118
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.879
have been more prepared anyway. It's
a summer catalog with really good items that

119
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.320
are all for the heat. T
shirts, shorts, bathing suits, a

120
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.759
banana yellow bathing suit, you bet
your buns, a hot bathing suit for

121
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:16.600
the ladies. I mean, you
name it. I went for it and

122
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.480
they're all really cool. And on
top of that, we're doing a summer

123
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:26.240
fire sale, so we will be
doing ten percent off all of these seven

124
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.639
summer items for the next two months, so definitely check it out. I'm

125
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.360
really happy with the way they came
out. Yeah, I'll put something on

126
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.639
Patreon, We'll put stuff on Instagram, so just make sure you're following us

127
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.360
there. If you're not paying Patreon
member, you could still follow us on

128
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.840
Patreon, so you're up to date. The banana yellow we're keeping that going.

129
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.480
I will always retweet banana yellow.
I just think it's it's iconic.

130
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.159
Yeah, we figured we do it
now because people are stocking up on their

131
00:09:52.840 --> 00:10:00.200
summer beach wardrobes before. Yeah.
I get your mom a bikini. He

132
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.799
earned it. Yeah, and through
July. Portion'd give you enough time to

133
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:11.000
get it out there shipping and everything. The sluttiest summer outfit that she deserves.

134
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:16.639
Get your mom a podcast bikini.
And it's really tasteful. It's just

135
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.000
a white bottom and then just tons
of the logos on the top. It's

136
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.519
awesome anas, very tasteful, very
elegant. It's a string bikini. If

137
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.159
you pull on it, it falls
apart on the bottoms. Everything a mom

138
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:35.080
wants. Yes, that's perfect.
Especially where is that the U r L

139
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.600
would be for that one. I
don't want to say it wrong. I

140
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:45.120
haven't constructed it yet, so that'll
be a dot com correct. Yeah,

141
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.679
I will put all the logos it
is on fourth wall. That is correct.

142
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:54.159
And then because it's a custom summer
catalog, as you've said, the

143
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.639
links will be on social and on
our Patreon, so you go to the

144
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.360
right page. Yeah, but no, Showgun's great. I liked it a

145
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:09.559
lot. We also I started Fallout
and then was curious whether Amanda would like

146
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.960
it, and she saw the one
episode I had seen and she's like,

147
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.159
all right, I'll keep trying it. And then we watched another episode together

148
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.759
and both of us were like,
I don't get why people are loving this

149
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.879
show. Oh yeah, is it
just because the bar is so low?

150
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:26.039
Like I mean, I don't So
I will say they clearly did their homework,

151
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.840
like Graham Wagner and shit, I
gotta look up the names by Like

152
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.000
Jonathan Nolan directed the first episode.
He's a producer on it. It's the

153
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.399
West him and Lisa Joy. It's
the West World exec producers, so you

154
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.919
know they know how to make good
TV. They did their homework. However,

155
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.279
I would actually say, and I
don't blame them for this, because

156
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.080
if you don't do this kind of
easter egg, inside joke fallout stuff,

157
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.159
you're gonna get eviscerated by the people
who are most excited to see it.

158
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.840
So much of the show is very
fan servicey, to the point where I'm

159
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:05.519
like, they'll linger on shots so
long to sell a joke to like Fallout

160
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.679
three fans, and I'm the biggest
Fallout three fan I know. And even

161
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.440
I'm like, all right, he
used the adjunk jet, he shot a

162
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.639
baby doll arm in his Sun Guy's
chest. I get it. Cut to

163
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.480
the next shot, Let's get on
with it. I also, to be

164
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.279
clear, I'm only we've only watched
two episodes, so I'm going to continue

165
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.120
just almost out of obligation. But
I know a lot of people are freaking

166
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.840
out saying they love the Ghoul Walton
Goggins character. I I don't. Necessarily

167
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.679
I'm not. I'm not attached to
any of these characters yet. But you

168
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.039
I'm generally not interested in like video
game movies and shows anyway, but you

169
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:45.679
mentioning them like kind of bending over
backwards city references turns me off more because

170
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.000
like, I think that's the thing
about just like fandom, like nerd culture

171
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:54.840
type shit. Since like the MCU
started, and I'm counting New Star Wars

172
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.360
movies and shows, I'm counting Marvel. I'm kind of even like the Mario

173
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.679
movie, which I liked generally,
It's like, I don't I understand this

174
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:05.840
thing of like a reference as you
know, worthwhile. It's like just seeing

175
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.399
a thing that you recognize, Like
I saw that in the game, and

176
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.720
now it's in a show. Like
great, that's like it seems like the

177
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.440
most low hanging fruit possible. And
there's nothing like Mario. It's not like,

178
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.720
oh, they got the Mario card, like I thought Mario did a

179
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.720
decent job of telling a fun Mario
CG movie, But like, it's not

180
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.360
like every fucking thing that they shoved
in there. I'm like, oh,

181
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:22.919
I know that, Oh I know
that. Oh they played that song.

182
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.200
Oh they did that, you know. Yeah. And it's Amanda said the

183
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.360
same thing. She's like, this
feels like a marvel There's like a fight

184
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.480
scene in the second episode that felt
very marveloush And I was like, yeah,

185
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.200
I don't disagree. I'm just watching
it now to kind of see what

186
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.559
they do with these characters, because
they again, they know that universe.

187
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.799
I would actually say, though the
tone of the show, and obviously if

188
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.039
you've played the Fallout games three and
onward, I would say New Vegas and

189
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:52.240
three, New Vegas and four those
definitely have that over the top, hyper

190
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.519
violent, cartoonish vibe to them.
I would say the show actually goes too

191
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.279
far with it, to the point
where they try to do none of the

192
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.240
jokes in the show land. For
me, I think the show works best

193
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:11.200
when it is kind of actually painting
a post apocalypse, a post apocalypse in

194
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.440
a very grim way, in some
way that like other shows have it,

195
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.080
including you Know, The Last of
Us what have You, but like and

196
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.360
they explore some really cool stuff storytelling
wise, in the show, I just

197
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.840
too often there's a bad joke,
there's a knowing reference and a knowing nod

198
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.240
to something in the games that they
linger on as opposed to just something you'll

199
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.399
notice and like, Okay, I
get it, like you know he he,

200
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.879
okay, oh sure this this raider
is gonna inhale. What is it?

201
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:43.919
A jet? Jet? The drug
whatever the drug is rat rat Away

202
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.679
and rat X are the some of
the drugs. And then there's a jet

203
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:54.799
something that raiders use to like it's
like crank and he uses that. That's

204
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:56.320
just I don't know, one small
example. I just the show is really

205
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.360
not hooking me in a way that
I'm gonna keep watching. But can I

206
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.480
pop in though, because I've finished
it and it's okay, cool, Yeah,

207
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:13.039
Then a second it's it gets good, it is worth finishing. I

208
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:18.120
felt the same way you did.
I actually stopped watching it after episode two

209
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.120
because it was too hokey. That's
like the word I use for It's like,

210
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.840
it's just like they're joking around,
but there's nothing like really valuable.

211
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.039
There's no characters I care about.
I started caring about the characters in episode

212
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.240
four, no spoilies. I started
thinking that there was something good with the

213
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:39.360
writing in episode five and six,
and then I got hooked towards the end.

214
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.360
I do really think that they do
something good with this. It just

215
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.919
takes building, and it takes longer
than two episodes. So you already said

216
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.480
you're going to continue, so I
don't think i've to convince you. But

217
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.440
tell me how you feel by like
episode four and five, and we'll see

218
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.159
where you're at with it. Because
they do start taking it more seriously,

219
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:03.240
and the writers start getting riskier because
in less instead of being so funny,

220
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.279
and it does stay funny, it
has some like it has some really good

221
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:11.200
comedic relief later on. It was
a really good I know you appreciate it,

222
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.000
Mike. There's some pretty good surprise
guest stars later on. I know

223
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:19.080
of one, because the end of
the first episode is like this season on

224
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.840
they do a very well Oh no, I hate when they did. I

225
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:23.759
don't watch those. I consider those
spoilies. I don't like when they're like

226
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:26.799
this season. I didn't. I
haven't watched the show in a while that

227
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:32.320
has done that. It wasn't So
it's part of episode one, like the

228
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:36.159
credits of episode one. It's not
like a new screen that like Amazon Prime

229
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:40.039
put on. Yeah, it's like
it's Walton Goggins, like under a spotlight

230
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.720
been this season on on Fallout,
Like I think it's to emulate, you

231
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.840
know, the mid century kind of
vibe. And then I saw one actor,

232
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:48.320
I'm like, what the fuck is
he doing here? Now I need

233
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.600
to see who's whose character is You're
gonna laugh. There's a couple of really

234
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.039
good surprise guest stars. But what
I will say to the writing is is

235
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:03.919
that at some point they start saying, what happens as we discovered that this

236
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.400
world is fucked up? And how
do we peel that curtain back a little

237
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:15.119
bit and really expose people for who
they are when they're in this environment and

238
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.279
how they're treating each other. And
I think that they it actually does say

239
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:23.640
some really good things about the Fallout
universe, about the differences between the Vault

240
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:30.599
dwellers and the people in the actual
real world. There's good stuff there.

241
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.359
It's just I think it's a slow
burn, and it took a little longer

242
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.839
for me to get there. But
I after completing the season, and I

243
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:44.119
quote it, when the season finale
stopped and I rolled credits, I said

244
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:48.359
to myself, ooh, I'm very
excited for season two, and I almost

245
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.240
quit. I almost quit on season
on episode two. So I think you

246
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.880
should. Let's check back in two
weeks. I think you will. I'll

247
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.880
keep watching. The thing that annoys
me the most and the thing that reminds

248
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:02.960
me most of Marvel, is that
they'll have some sequences where I'm really into

249
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.640
it, Like the way they frame
the Brotherhood of Steel like as this ultra.

250
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.960
They go really they go harder than
the Games do into this like religious

251
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.759
sect, medieval like squires and Nights. They go really hard into that.

252
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:15.799
In a way, I was like, okay, cool, They're they're pushing

253
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:21.720
the Games in a different, stronger
direction here, and then of course it

254
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.039
just gets hokey. So I just
I want it to stick to the tone

255
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.240
that I'm liking, and maybe the
show is not doesn't the show doesn't have

256
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.480
to be what I want it to
be. I get that, but you

257
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.519
know, it's just not clicking with
me yet. But I'm going to keep

258
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:34.359
watching it. Yeah, you keep
watching, you keep watching. I think

259
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:38.039
you'll be I think you will be
pleasantly surprised. It just needs a little

260
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:45.799
bit more time. I have been
spring cleaning, and I was curious because

261
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.279
this is the spring cleaning time in
most people's lives. If you all get

262
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:55.160
into spring cleaning, we are time
to kind of like get the whole house

263
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:56.759
cleaned up. Is typically like when
we have people over for like it's like,

264
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:59.519
oh, we got a one people
coming over for a wrestling pay per

265
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:02.519
view, or like we did a
move uber night on Saturday where we had

266
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:03.960
like eight people coming over and staying
over, so like we cleaned the house

267
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:08.119
like fully before that, so like
it's less it's less season specific and more

268
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.319
just like we got company coming over
and we just clean the house. Yeah,

269
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.359
we do the same, but we
also do a big one or we

270
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:17.960
do a few big ones in the
spring just with the because the windows are

271
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.519
finally open so you can air shit
out. Yeah, we get into it.

272
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.119
We say, like, okay,
Saturday morning, we'll do a bunch

273
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.519
of that. We'll turn music on, we'll get it done. Maybe like

274
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.480
make a early afternoon cocktail while we
clean, and then we'll go out that

275
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:36.359
night and it kind of make a
day of it. The cleaning treat.

276
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:41.200
You gotta have a cleaning treat.
Nobody cleans unless there's some kind of value

277
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.200
at the end of that clean.
Nobody cleans for fun, unless there's psychos

278
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.519
I agree, But how has spring
cleaning been for you? It's great.

279
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.279
I also need a treat. My
treat is that I love resales. So

280
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.720
I go through my closets. I
try and get rid of at least ten

281
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:02.400
percent of items, and then I
have two So there's like three piles.

282
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.960
There's keep pile, there's throwaway pile. Those are like, you know,

283
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:10.240
nobody wants this ship. And then
there's a resale pile. And at the

284
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.680
end of spring cleaning, I take
the resale and I take it to like

285
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:15.000
a shop and I get store credit
for it, and then I buy a

286
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.599
bunch of new shit. Oh okay, I I've always I've never done like

287
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.039
a resale thing like I've got like
old shoes and stuff that are in like

288
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.599
great condition, but like I don't
know, like I don't know if people

289
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:30.079
buy old shoes on marketplace or I've
never thought of it like a resale store.

290
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.640
Of course they do. Men's clothes
are pretty coveted. I don't think

291
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.640
it's as uh, it's not as
it's not as often that men sell their

292
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.480
clothes, but that actually means that
you can still get a good price for

293
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:47.079
it because it's less likely that it's
in circulation, whereas like if there's four

294
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:52.319
hundred of the same anthropology top,
no one gives a shit hammer. But

295
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.759
like your sweater might be like more
interesting, And I guess I'm what I'm

296
00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:57.680
saying is like where do you get
your clothes? Right? Because like,

297
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:03.519
if it's like old Navies, recirculation
ain't gonna be very hot. But if

298
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.559
you are earing something that you think
is more distinct or interesting, then you

299
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.160
can absolutely resell that. Okay,
I guess I never considered that. I

300
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.880
love it. So you're like decluttering
too, Yeah, I literally like it's

301
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:21.680
it's throwaway reseal. These are my
precious baby boy items. I must have

302
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:29.880
them. And then that declutter causes
me to like also clean at the end

303
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.319
of it, because now my closet
is like a fourth of what it used

304
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.720
to be. But my favorite part
really truly is this is the carrot is

305
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:41.480
now I need to fill that closet
with more shit and so it makes me

306
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:47.240
feel better when I go shopping.
On the decluttering point, I have sad

307
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:51.759
news for you too, specifically,
and Jacob, you know we you know,

308
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.160
we have guests over frequently, but
like staying over isn't as much.

309
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:56.480
You know, most people go back
to their homes and families and stuff.

310
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.759
So you know, Bank's office is
the same room that we had the triple

311
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:07.079
bunk beds in and I uh,
last weekend took an Alan ranch to it

312
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.839
and the top bunk is no more. So we still have we have three

313
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.039
mattresses, so you know, we
can pull it out and you guys can

314
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.359
draw straws or whatever. We have
the two beds that can go together if

315
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.119
it's a couple, or can spread
it if it's multiple people, but not

316
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:22.680
this big monolith of a a bunk
bed. Although to make you feel better,

317
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.920
you know, it is like Bank's
office and the Maharty face poster was

318
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.960
on the ceiling and after I took
the bed down. I asked Monk.

319
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.839
I was like, if you want
me to take the Mahardi poster down?

320
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.400
And she was like no, So
your face is still up there. Put

321
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.799
it underneath. My word, it's
below it just the bottom of the both

322
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:44.559
just yeah, it's like basically a
queen bed that can separate into twins.

323
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.079
Now, so yeah, you're still
above the beds. Blank, hasn't fashioned

324
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:51.079
heard worked us to, like like
JP from Grandma's Boy to look up at

325
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:55.880
the ceiling, glup at your stupid
So you were you were a couple of

326
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.640
the only people to just sleep in
the famous triple bunk bed. Dude,

327
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:02.880
I'm going down with a foundation in
that house. I'll be there. I'll

328
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.960
be there till Kingdom come. It's
great when I have like electricians in there

329
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:10.319
and I just nobody mentions it,
like just like they see it. You

330
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:14.079
can't not see your face up there. But remember when so you know they're

331
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:18.519
too confused by the Grimlins. Two
lady with the sexy boobies and a lady

332
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.519
I have the flash or Grimlin.
It's classy. I don't have the poster.

333
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:29.119
I don't have a booby sexy Grimlin
poster. Don't you be talking about

334
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.119
She exists in the movie. She's
the closing shot of the New Batch.

335
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:38.279
But I have I don't have a
sexy Lady Grimlin paraphernalia here, poster.

336
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:42.039
You don't have a poster. No, I've got the Grimlins two art where

337
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:45.519
it's the back of the office chair
in New York with a cigar. That's

338
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.359
in my bathroom. Yeah, no, I have. I have a full

339
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:53.279
size flasher Grimlin. I have a
Grimlins two poster in my bathroom. And

340
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.519
it's not the Lady. It's not
the Lady. I have taken It says

341
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.279
more about your fantasis. I have
taken my memory and I have altered it.

342
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:03.519
Yeah. I could just send you
a picture right now. It's nope,

343
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.519
nope, Yeah, the bathtub,
the macaroni bathtub, bathroom. Nope,

344
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:10.519
it's just the back of a chair
and a Grimlin hand with the scar.

345
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.839
Have I like eternal sunshined myse the
spotless Grimlin. God, I thought

346
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.799
it was the lady. Yeah,
nothing wrong with Lady Gremlin. But no,

347
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:23.880
she's not to be found here.
How do I think that that was

348
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.960
above your bathroom? Oh? You
have you have the photo save for when

349
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:32.920
you Jay it on your phone.
Mary. Oh, and she show us

350
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:36.599
it all the time. She bolted
into the ceiling. Mary comes out of

351
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:37.960
the bathroom, out of breath,
shows us the photo. She's like,

352
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:44.440
I just jade it to this.
It's exhausting. I know. I'm blown

353
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:48.200
away that I thought that was the
Lady Grimlin. It's embedded in my brain.

354
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:52.880
Take a photo of your bathroom.
You have video of my bathroom.

355
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.200
We have it on our Patriot Cheese. Sure you're not confusing Mac and Cheese

356
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.279
and the Lady Grimlin. That's probably
what happened. Yet it happened. They're

357
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:06.319
both sexy, vivid memory of her. Your memory is wrong. Your brain's

358
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:11.119
bad. Fuck. One more TV
show that Amanda and I are actually watching

359
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:18.559
together is A Gentleman in Moscow.
It's based It's a showtime. Ewan McGregor

360
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:22.920
plays Count Rostov, and it's based
on one of my favorite books ever by

361
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:27.759
Amoor Tols. A Gentleman in Moscow. Dude is like a He writes this

362
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:34.839
like revolutionary poem before the Bolsheviks takeover
in Russia in the nineteen twenties, thirties,

363
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:42.400
twenties, thirties and then seven late
late twenties and then he then once

364
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:45.640
the Bolsheviks take over, they're like, oh, you're really into like dressing

365
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:51.200
well and wine and staying at fancy
hotels. So they're like, we're not

366
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:55.599
going to execute you like most of
the like bourgeois z. We're gonna We're

367
00:25:55.640 --> 00:26:00.000
gonna like sentence you to house arrest
in this fancy hotel in the Red Square

368
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.599
for the rest of your life.
So it's very it's oddly like Resident Evil

369
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.119
in the sense it all takes place
in this one hotel and he's got these

370
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.799
like servants quarters and he finds secret
passageways. The book's incredible. The show's

371
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.400
good too so far. But we're
enjoying that a lot. But you know,

372
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.480
have high hopes because it's based on
one of my favorite books in the

373
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.559
last decade. But you know,
it's different so far, and you know

374
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.160
they're always going to be different.
But enjoying it quite a bit. Nice.

375
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.119
I know we've talked about Alex Garland
a bit on here, and I

376
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:32.880
saw a civil war. Oh we
want to. I think we might go

377
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.160
Saturday. Yeah, I won't spoil
anything. It's good. It's good.

378
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:38.359
It's different. The marketing, I
think had me expecting a little bit of

379
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.240
a different movie. Yeah, so
I was like kind of surprised by what

380
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.119
it was, but I did like
it, And now that I'm kind of

381
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.200
pasted the like, that's not what
I expected the moment, you know,

382
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:51.759
it's a I think I'm pretty positive
on it. He does. I feel

383
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:55.200
like his movies are always I mean, Annihilation was such a weird thing where

384
00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.000
it's like a nineties comedy romp.
It looked like hard sci fi. Yeah,

385
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.039
like Jason Sadakis was originally in it. Yeah, yeah, I think

386
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:08.319
that bear Bobby Plaza had an M
sixteen at one point and then I was

387
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:11.880
like, well this looks sick,
and then she wasn't in it. She

388
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:18.000
backed out. But in all seriousness, what was the uh the production company

389
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.720
just like freaked out last minute and
they're like, this movie is not going

390
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:23.799
to make any money. It went
to theaters for like a weekend, and

391
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:29.000
then they're like, okay, now
go to Hulu. And I lucked out.

392
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:30.279
I saw it. It was twenty
fifteen, I believe, and then

393
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.599
now it's this cult classic and like, but a lot of times his movies

394
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.759
just don't ex Machina. I think
people liked right away critically, but it's

395
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.000
one of box favorite Annihilation. They
just freaked out and then all of a

396
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:47.839
sudden, you know, it's one
of my favorite movies. But I've not

397
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:52.160
seen Men still that kept. Yeah, we saw it with Ben Hanson and

398
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:55.880
he also had noticed in Fight.
All of us being Alex Garland fans,

399
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:56.880
none of us had seen it because
I think we all just saw the trailer

400
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.079
or the reviews and we're like,
eh, like people aren't too into it.

401
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:08.480
Men's really hard to stomach because there's
all these uh you know, like

402
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.079
a lot of times in movies,
you'll watch it and you'll be like,

403
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:14.519
why did I get that, and
they'll be like, oh, it's because

404
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.279
it's uh Ophelia from like you know
this other you know, it's like telling

405
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.960
a substory and it's all hidden and
you're like, oh my god, I

406
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:27.119
get it. And Men, it's
like we get it. We understand that

407
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:32.160
this is about Adam and Eve and
that men are evil, Like I fucking

408
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.480
think it's so it's so fucking blunt. Mayor. I bet I wouldn't get

409
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:37.960
it, though, I bet I
wouldn't. Like I remember watching but like

410
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.519
I watched Mother with Bunk and like
at the end of her being like that

411
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.799
is the most blunt, obvious metaphor
was maybe like what are you talking about?

412
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:47.720
And she goes, she didn't get
what that movie was about. It's

413
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:52.200
like, it's about a spooky house. It was about like Catholic stuff or

414
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.759
something, or Jesus or like I
just totally am I right, it was

415
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:59.799
about Jesus or something. Married Yeah, mother Mary, Yeah, I did

416
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.880
not even get religious overtones from Spooky
House. Did you see two thousand and

417
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:12.559
one? Be like, I,
whatever happened to those monkeys? Yeah?

418
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:18.839
I think like that's not it's so
literal that I think it's it's almost impossible.

419
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:23.599
But also like all of just the
it just kind of will exhaust you

420
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:29.920
and maybe men, and maybe that's
the intention of it, which is like

421
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:34.680
it's so it's so scary to be
a woman. But like watching a film

422
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:42.119
for this long about the tension that
this woman feels around all men, even

423
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:45.359
as a woman, I'm not like, see this is how it feels.

424
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:49.920
I'm sitting there and I'm like,
this is miserable. It's miserable to be

425
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:56.759
around all these fucking shit eating,
nasty, like flaccid men, and I'm

426
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:03.279
sick of it. I'm sick of
it. Suck it up, oh gaslight

427
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:08.279
me do it. Yes, that
joke's not gonna land for anybody, tell

428
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:14.799
me that it's not a big deal. I gotta watch it just to say

429
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:18.440
I've seen all his stuff, but
fucking exhausting. I I will say,

430
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.799
like, I don't know any I
don't know a lot of people who have

431
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.200
like seen it. I don't know
a lot of men that have liked it.

432
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.559
I can't name a woman that have
let them like come out of this

433
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.759
film and be like loved watching that
for fucking an hour and a half.

434
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.440
It's just miserable. It's a miserable
experience. This explains why so many people

435
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.119
have not seen that movie. Is
we probably all heard reactions like that and

436
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:44.400
we're like, yeah, this seems
like a skippable one. Well, you

437
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.640
know, like have you seen a
promising young woman? No, a promising

438
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:56.880
young woman is also very clearly about
like a woman's experience with like uh like

439
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:02.559
violence and rape culture and all these
things. But it's not exhausting. It's

440
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.000
just like a movie where you'll watch
it and you'll be like, yep,

441
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.720
I hear you, sister. The
same director as Sulburn, Emerald Ennel,

442
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.599
you should watch it. I actually
think it's quite it's entertaining. Yeah,

443
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.200
but I've heard good things. Yeah. Man is just like, have you

444
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:19.279
ever been in a room with a
man and he's just making you uncomfortable?

445
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:25.599
Well, here's a twenty minute scene
of that, and he's oh, yeah,

446
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:34.920
yeah, yeah. I Alex Garland
definitely sometimes maybe not entire movies outside

447
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:40.000
of men, but he definitely crosses
over that line often, not often.

448
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:41.240
Sometimes he goes to the point where
I'm like, dude, we get what

449
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.799
you were doing in ex Machina,
which I think is actually his most closest

450
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.839
to like perfect movie. I think
there are a couple of times there when

451
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.519
he does that. He'll just like
really try to beat you over the head

452
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.559
with something like no, we got
it already, or or we do get

453
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.359
it. And it was entertaining.
Yeah, so this is about robots,

454
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:05.240
this is interesting war and I was
like, oh, yeah, it was

455
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:08.279
pretty bad. So I think I
get some things. I understand what they're

456
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:15.960
trying to say here. Getting shot
with bullets would suck up on In terms

457
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:20.680
of like Dan misinterpreting a movie,
I like to think of you seeing Deer

458
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:23.680
Hunter and be like, I'm going
to join the army. I'm going,

459
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:29.920
hell, yeah, you know,
I gotta go. I gotta get a

460
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:40.119
boat. I'm you right now,
it's like totally not getting it. We

461
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.640
need to get some puppies. Let's
go super troopers. Man. The government

462
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:50.920
is so important, we have to
listen to them. Why doesn't anyone listen

463
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.960
to the government. I think I'm
that far gone. I'm pretty far gone

464
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.880
as far as understanding metaphor and symbolism
and stuff. Yeah, I'm probably the

465
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:06.240
worst I know, despite being the
only one of the only people I know

466
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:10.559
what. They've film degree. You're
like, you know what, Russia's kind

467
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:15.000
of onto something Rocky five. I
should become a boxer. Yeah, I

468
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:20.440
love this, your fucking film degree. And you're like, for my final

469
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:25.519
thesis, Jaws, why fishing is
rad? We're gonna catch that guy and

470
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:29.680
Shark's bad? I mean, you
can do fishing in a way that doesn't

471
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:35.160
put you a Jaws risk. Yes, that's true, Dan, you're getting

472
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:42.000
a d ship passing. I get
a degree. That was my attitude.

473
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:45.799
Jaws is Spielberg's best movie. I
see Terminator, I'm like, hey,

474
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:52.039
I seems awesome. Looked cool.
You see Judge Dread. You're like,

475
00:33:52.039 --> 00:34:00.359
they should kill that dread guy.
He seems like troubles. Yeah, but

476
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:04.559
yeah, we've been watching a lot
of TV lately. Well, we were

477
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:08.519
finishing up the Sopranos for like our
yearly rewatch, and then I also have

478
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:13.760
only been playing like a couple of
games outside of work lately, so we've

479
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:15.800
had more free time than usual.
So I was like, all right,

480
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:22.119
well let's watch Showgun and that's one
season and it's done. Apparently. Then

481
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:24.079
you know, both of us love
amoor Toole's books, so we're like,

482
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:28.760
we got to watch Gentlemen in Moscow
and then fall Out. I'm watching more

483
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:31.519
out of obligation, but I'm hoping
it's better. Mary. I'll report back

484
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:37.159
next episode. Yeah, I look
forward to hearing about it because I felt

485
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:40.480
very similarly. You know sometimes have
you ever done that where you're like,

486
00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:45.039
I'm gonna quit this, I'm gonna
quit and then it really comes back.

487
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:49.480
I do it all the time.
I'm a serial quitter with books, music,

488
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.840
of media of any kind. If
you can't grip me in like two

489
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.039
episodes, I'm very likely to quit. We'll get on the fence. We

490
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:59.239
currently are that way with we just
watched the first episode of season two of

491
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:01.960
The Jinks, which, you know, The Jinks was such a perfect documentary

492
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:06.119
and ending and everything. So it's
like, all these years later, when

493
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:08.119
we know he's just kind of been
in jail and stuff, we're kind of

494
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:12.880
side eyeing the existence of a season
two and the first episode is just all

495
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.079
about season one and the impact that
I had, which is a very interesting

496
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:19.719
story, but like we know that
story, so like I'm wondering, like

497
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:22.320
we are giving it like another episode
or two to like justify its existence.

498
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:28.280
Otherwise it's like we don't need to
see another dramatization of him getting interrogated drinking

499
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.400
coffee. You know, it's not
a lot going on there, so we'll

500
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:34.599
see. I could be wrong.
Yeah, I couldn't imagine. I feel

501
00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:37.559
like there's nothing else to say there, and we didn't they say all the

502
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:40.719
things. I mean they could,
like he could say where the body was

503
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:44.519
of you know, I think the
one woman that was not because like he

504
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:49.159
got acquitted of the dude murder,
he got arrested on one of the women

505
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.840
murders, and then the other one
is unsolved, so like maybe you can

506
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:54.599
just get him to admit to that
or lead him to the body or something

507
00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:59.360
like that. But I'm over There's
no way it's going to match Season one,

508
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.199
right. I just want to hear
Dan in a court being like we

509
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:07.480
find him guilty of the dude murder. I want to be on like a

510
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:09.199
murder jury. I think it'd be
fun. And I'm in the I'm in

511
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:13.320
the jury. I'm over it.
I don't care about this guy. We

512
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:15.039
should be the jury. Just have
a three person jury and it's just us

513
00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:20.960
well fusome in the courtroom, abuse
the dependent. If you get anything lower

514
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:23.039
than a seven, you're going you're
you're going to jail. No, you're

515
00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:27.519
going to the guillotine. Oh no, you're out of here. I love

516
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.599
that. In our reality, if
you don't get a seven, we fucking

517
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:34.559
kill you. Is this just like
like if we took over a country,

518
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:37.960
Is this hour laws work? We
shed your mortal coil for you? Geez?

519
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:44.880
Yeah? And a seven or die? Yeah, you have to have

520
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:49.559
No. If you can perform a
talent show and get a seven, then

521
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:52.440
you get to live. So it's
just the Gong show. But you die

522
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.639
if you're bad as you're out of
here. Okay. Otherwise you're out of

523
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:59.480
here And then Dan stands out says, fuck you dude. Oh wait,

524
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.760
how was the thing? It was
great because the first time I'd only seen

525
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:06.159
it when it first came out the
mcgoover show, and like that had all

526
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:07.599
the crazy expectation of like, oh
my god, I can't believe after all

527
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:10.559
these years they're doing mcgover. So
we just watched it the first time through.

528
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:13.920
I liked it a lot. I
remember thinking I had kind of slower

529
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:16.920
start, but watching it again now
removed from expectations and watching it all in

530
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:22.360
one sitting. I made Celery themed
cocktails I named the distraction. Saw that

531
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:27.199
disgusting if our buddy made blow punk
cookies. Actually the cocktail was not bad.

532
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.960
It was actually pretty good. There's
a lot there's celary bidders these days.

533
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:31.599
There's like a usage spritz is and
whatnot. Yeah, yeah, it

534
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:35.679
was pretty solid. But no,
it's very very funny. The only thing

535
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:38.159
is it My only complaint would be
it seems like it was definitely written to

536
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:42.519
be a movie, and they had
to kind of stretch it out to be

537
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.920
like a three hour and forty minute
show when you put it all into in

538
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:47.840
so like some part of my brain
was thinking the whole time watching it.

539
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:52.079
That Like, if I had time
on my hands, I would probably throw

540
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:55.239
all of it into Premiere and make
like the recert cut where it's like,

541
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:59.039
I just make it mcgroover two instead
of the Peacock Show, and I make

542
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:01.679
it like a clean two hours or
something, because like there's so we did,

543
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:05.559
right, that's the thing. It's
like it didn't need all of that.

544
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:07.199
There's whole subplots and stuff you can
take out, and like, I

545
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:10.760
think that'd actually be a fun edit. But that would take a long time

546
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:15.880
for a very stupid pursuit. No, you'd be fine doing it. It'd

547
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:20.880
be fun. It'd be fun.
I think it's crazy when fans do super

548
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:24.599
cuts of shows that must have taken
their entire lives to put together. I'm

549
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:30.360
honestly not sure if the really good
cut down version of dragon Ball was done

550
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:34.639
by a fan or just okay corporation
for money. But god damn, I

551
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.920
don't know how you can watch the
original after watching the cut down when they've

552
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.079
like really gotten to the meat of
super of dragon Ball, Like, that's

553
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:43.199
that's the one, that's what kai
was a great way to watch it.

554
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:45.119
Yeah, that's the only one that
the only way to watch it. I

555
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:46.880
don't know how you can watch it
any other way. It's crazy. Did

556
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:50.039
you see the clip back in the
day where I think this is the Toy

557
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:57.679
Story three spoiler where somebody watch out
Toy Story three of yours just you skip

558
00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:00.000
ahead thirty seconds. I think that's
the one where all the toys are in

559
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.679
like a volcano, where they're in
like a big thing that's about like kill

560
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:06.960
them all, and they're all like, they're all like sliding down. It's

561
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.320
a big hot thing. It's a
smelter thing, and they're all gonna die,

562
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:13.480
and it's like a very like emotional
like they're like, oh God,

563
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.239
this is it. And they're looking
at each other like, oh, it's

564
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:19.199
been good being toy friends with you. And then they're fine in something a

565
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:22.880
good, happy ending happens. But
like some kids, it's like teenagers or

566
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:25.000
something. Back when it came out
on DVD, made a cut of it

567
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:30.039
where it just they're all like going
down into the smelter and it just fades

568
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:35.239
the black and it says like directed
by whoever. So they show it to

569
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:38.320
their grandma or their mom. I
think it was their mom, and they

570
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:44.840
recorded her reaction. Why would they
ended like that. Why did that happen?

571
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:47.239
Why would they do that? Like
ending with all these toys dying in

572
00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:54.320
this smelter like terminator. Two.
Yeah, yeah, I do not remember

573
00:39:54.400 --> 00:40:00.119
that scene at all. I think
I have again Eternal Sunshine that out of

574
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:04.440
my mind. I don't remember any
toy stories after two. I've seen all

575
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:08.079
four Toy stories' If there's any scenes
I remember, it's just from the first

576
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:13.079
one what he flies at one point
and plays that I believe I can fly.

577
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:15.519
I remember that. I think that's
about all I remember the entire tor

578
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:22.440
story. One had the whole aliens
part where oh yeah from a retail store

579
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.440
because what repackaged and then their buzz
got repackaged one of them, so they

580
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:29.000
were going to rescue them from the
toy store with the aliens help, and

581
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:31.519
they were in the claw. Yeah, Like I remember all the characters.

582
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:35.280
I remember Slinky Dog and and Don
Rickles was the pig and all that stuff,

583
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:37.000
and I just don't remember anything that
happens other than like, whoa see

584
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:40.880
he looks crazy. Three. The
real sad part of three is the fact

585
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:45.960
that like Andy goes to college,
I believe, and then finally like stops

586
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:51.599
wanting the toys. They're trying to
find him in college, and then I

587
00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:53.559
think the real sad part. And
I could be butchering this, but maybe

588
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:59.920
this is just my melancholice take at
the TLDR of toy story, my tld

589
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:04.639
yard. The melancholic memory of it
is that like it actually he never does

590
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:07.079
really want them again, but like
there is a moment where he's like,

591
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:09.119
oh, I remember when I was
a kid and I played with these and

592
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:13.920
then he moved on. I think
that's what happens. That's the fate of

593
00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:16.840
all toys. Like, and how
they make three more movies out of that,

594
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:22.639
dude, I don't know, and
I think they're really now. No,

595
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:25.880
the one I was describing was three. Oh yeah, what happens in

596
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:30.159
one? Uh? One is when
there's no there's the childhood Bully. Yeah,

597
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:37.159
the head of the dolls. Yes, he makes he makes like amalgamations

598
00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:39.760
of that, like the Freaky Spider
baby and stuff. I do remember that.

599
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:45.599
Yeah. And then Andy is his
mom is trying to like moving up.

600
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:49.360
They're moving and they get left behind
on accident and then they have to

601
00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:54.119
I can t l d R.
What was two? There were traffic cones

602
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:59.599
It was two college and then three
was like He's No. Two was three

603
00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:04.400
was smell alter too was traffic Cones. Four was spoon. There was a

604
00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:08.719
talking They really gave up on four. I think there was a talking spoon

605
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:13.039
and it was a road trip.
The only four that has ever mattered to

606
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:20.000
Rocky four and Uncharted four was two
where the cow girl came in Annie.

607
00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:25.280
Was she a toy or she she
was one person? The cow girl is

608
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:32.840
too cow Maybe one is just spaceman
and cowboy. Refuse, I refuse to

609
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.159
google this because you don't need it. My mind right now, by the

610
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:43.800
way, tearing their hair out right
now whatever. His favorite movies right been

611
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:45.840
Handsome my god, Yes, yes, I like Pixar movies. I'm just

612
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:50.239
not as much of a fucking Disney
nerd as Mike is. Oh I forgot

613
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:52.639
there were Disney O Yeah, the
Pixar, Yeah were they was Pixar Disney.

614
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:58.320
When Toy Story came out a good
question, mm hmm. I mean

615
00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:02.840
it was fucking crazy scene first Jaws
was Disney too, No Hanson, no

616
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:09.400
hand Jaws Favorite Story has like the
same trajectory as Jaws. It's like it

617
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:13.920
had this perfect one and then they
were like, let's get more out of

618
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:15.360
here, and everyone's like, I
don't know. I don't know if you

619
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:19.559
really generally well liked, because like
with Jaws, I feel like everything but

620
00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:22.280
one is different degrees of dislike and
like I feel like when Hanson talks about

621
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.719
it, I feel like Hanson would
say he fucking loves the first three,

622
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:30.039
like among his favorite movies ever,
and top four maybe step down, you

623
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.480
know, but yeah, I think
they're generally one another one. I think

624
00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:37.719
the trilogy of Toy story is beloved. I don't think. I think that

625
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:44.360
is a very normal opinion that the
three Toy Stories are right. And then

626
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:47.639
at some point they were like we're
doing it again, and they really started

627
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.519
like something got lost in the sauce
on that there on that fourth one,

628
00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:54.079
I don't know what they were doing. Okay, I feel like Pixar of

629
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:58.000
the Bloom is off the roads from
just what people say, like, I

630
00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.519
haven't like it. Sounds like cars
went real shitty. I don't know if

631
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:05.920
Monsters had a bunch of movies or
like I thinking one and two we're both

632
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:13.159
really good. I like those cars
drug a mean kind of quality. I

633
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:17.840
can t l d R cars too, it's insane, okay, you know

634
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:24.559
to ma. No, No,
he's the truck that talks like heavy Southerner

635
00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:30.360
and he's like the cable guys in
it, right, yes, okay.

636
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:36.400
In the second one, he's the
CIA agent Larry, the cable guys.

637
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:43.920
Yes, it's explain that it's off
the fucking rails and all these CIA agents

638
00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:46.480
they keep having like crazy things come
out of their cars. They can like

639
00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:51.519
zipline to different things and all these
things that cars just cannot do because they

640
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:54.679
don't have hands. But they have
other people in this universe. No,

641
00:44:55.519 --> 00:45:00.079
okay, So it's not like there
are like dudes and cars that are c

642
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:04.119
i A Agents. It's just cars. Cars are c i A Agents,

643
00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:08.639
and they're like hanging from zip lines
and they're doing like the dunt dund you

644
00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:12.199
know, like wait, no,
that's the other one. What's the what's

645
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:22.679
the stop No, mission impossible in
the morning, the mission impossible. That's

646
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:32.440
mission impossible. Okay, that's what
they're doing. And it's cars wouldn't be

647
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:42.239
sneaky and it doesn't work because it's
like tomato. It's absolute batship nonsense.

648
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:45.079
I don't know how this happened,
but I had a friend who was like,

649
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:46.239
we should watch it, and I
was like the whole time, I

650
00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:49.800
was like, I have to be
way more drunk for this film. Are

651
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:52.800
they like retrofitting it? So he
was a CIA agent the whole time In

652
00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:59.119
the first movie, No, he
stumbles into it works like he's just so

653
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:02.360
stupid. They mistake him for a
CIA agent and he like happens to get

654
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:08.679
like a really important USB drive in
his like trunk, and then he's like

655
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:17.599
in it. Corky Romano, Orduce
Bigelow, Corky Romano. Okay, Corkymano,

656
00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:21.480
asked me, Corkymano or any other
movie. I'm gonna say, Corkymano,

657
00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:27.840
the Chris Catan guy. Oh huge. I think everyone that works with

658
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:30.480
him hated them. Yeah. Really, Norm is the only one. It's

659
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:36.159
just like I think would openly talk
about how he hated them, and seems

660
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:38.559
like he was disliked. It's so
funny. If Norman is like I hate

661
00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:42.519
that guy, I think instinctively,
I'm like, hey, my guy must

662
00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:45.760
really suck, like yeah, but
he also like super gets along with your

663
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:49.719
god along with Chevy Chase, who
is like the most notorious asshole and like

664
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:53.039
bigot yeah, and like Norman Rob
Schneider were closed. So like Norms just

665
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:58.000
a weird across the boarder, Schnyder's
a He's like a sex pass, isn't

666
00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:00.239
he? I forget what's wrong about
sex pass more or just giant dipshit.

667
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:06.960
I think, Yeah, I feel
like norms whole approach was too and I

668
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:08.920
don't I never fucking met the guy, but it struck me that maybe he

669
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:14.559
was just meeting someone and within the
first ten seconds not even like apropos of

670
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:17.480
nothing. He wasn't reacting anything.
He was just in his head like rolling

671
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:22.639
a like a die and then if
it came up with a certain number and

672
00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:27.079
be like, okay, yeah,
I like this person. Yeah, yeah

673
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:30.360
he was. He was a confusing
dude when he was just like some kind

674
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:35.280
of moral yeah, moral rating,
and then at some point he was like,

675
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:40.079
we go way back. So sure
he's just the worst person alive,

676
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:45.960
but we had some good times him
and I in the seventies or whatever.

677
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:54.239
Jesus, not that early you're thinking
of Steve Martin. Him Martin. Uh,

678
00:47:54.639 --> 00:47:59.320
do you want to talk about video
games? Yeah? Sure, Mary.

679
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:02.079
These games that you wrote down look
like you made them up. They're

680
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:07.199
legit games. You talked last week
about our last episode about another crabs treasure,

681
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:14.480
I believe or you pinged us about
it. I told yeah on Discord,

682
00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:15.639
Yeah, but it didn't come out. That's what I'm thinking of,

683
00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:22.440
gotcha. I think I said,
this is like a Soul's game but with

684
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:28.880
fish and crabs and stuff, and
it's just really surreal. Uh. Anyone

685
00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:32.119
who likes Souls games should probably be
a little curious about this game. It's

686
00:48:32.159 --> 00:48:40.679
just it's it's a Soul's game but
for absolute underwater dwelling freaks. I think

687
00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:45.000
it's really cool how it like is
such a Soul's game. But the one

688
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:50.599
place they totally pivoted was like the
presentation is so bright and cheery and cartoony,

689
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:52.719
but it's like all of the hallmarks
of like a Soul's game. Like

690
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:58.039
I thought they did a really good
job with that. Losing your microplastics,

691
00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:01.880
which is their souls it's micro plus, yeah, is devastating. It is

692
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:09.920
absolutely gutting. I lost twelve hundred
microplastics at a castle and I wanted to

693
00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:19.519
die. It sucks to basically like
get to that degree and very similar to

694
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:21.840
a Souls right, like if you
die, you got to go get your

695
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:24.000
souls. You got to go get
your plastics, and if you die again,

696
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:30.639
they're gone. Baby. It's over
brutal design. Absolute fuck you to

697
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:36.719
any child who thinks that this is
going to be an adventure. You're going

698
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:43.199
to ruined at this game. But
I mean it's very rewarding and the man,

699
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:45.440
the things I've been learning when I
play it, it's been really fun.

700
00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:49.280
It's not a joke, like I
mean as much as like, oh,

701
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:51.880
they made a Dark Souls cartoon crab
game, Like you might think it's

702
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:52.920
just like a novelty game or something, but like, yes, no,

703
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:57.239
there's a real game there. Like
it's like all of the like I said,

704
00:49:57.239 --> 00:49:59.320
all the hallmarks. You know,
like instead of a bonfire, it's

705
00:49:59.639 --> 00:50:01.719
it's a snail shell and that's where
you know, you get your health back.

706
00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:07.039
You basically refill your flasks and all
the enemies respawn. Instead of shields,

707
00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:10.360
you're getting different shells and things like
that, you know. Cheeky your

708
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:14.800
level up is as MSG. Yeah, yeah, like no, it's it's

709
00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:16.400
definitely like a lot of humor throughout
the game, and it is a light

710
00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:20.760
tone, but like the gameplay,
you can just reskin this thing and it's

711
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:23.079
basically like, you know, I'm
not going to say it's like on the

712
00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:27.079
level of design of like a Soul's
game, but like, yeah, I

713
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.119
think that's fair. Yeah, it
feels like a Soul's like, you know,

714
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:34.360
because it is it is, and
it's it is quite difficult. I

715
00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:36.840
will say, like, I don't
know, how far are you, Dan,

716
00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:38.599
Like, I not far, Like
an hour or two. I beat

717
00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:45.440
that first boss. Okay, I'm
three bosses in and the bosses are manageable,

718
00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:50.440
but they are they are very difficult, and they require a good chunk

719
00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:57.880
of replaying to understand their attack systems. They're all very unique and they have

720
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:02.599
their own crazy things going on.
Is is wild to be in a boss

721
00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:10.760
fight with a weird, puking crab
woman who is just constantly vomiting on you,

722
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:14.280
and you're like, this is for
kids. I guess, like it's

723
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:19.159
crazy that they that they marketed this
the way that they did. I'm still

724
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:24.119
having a hard time wrapping my head
around the target audience. Yeah, I

725
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:27.159
don't think a lot of kids would. I mean, I don't know,

726
00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:29.559
maybe we're selling kids short, maybe
they're good at stuff like this, but

727
00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:30.800
like, I don't know, I
feel like when you hear about kids playing

728
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:34.480
games, it's never them playing like
from games when they're ten years old or

729
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:38.000
anything. You know, right,
maybe they are maybe. I mean elder

730
00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:42.920
ring sould a lot when we were
kids' games really hard and we dealt with

731
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:46.559
it. I just felt like modern
games, this is a lot to ask

732
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:52.280
for a younger person to get into, I think. But what I will

733
00:51:52.320 --> 00:52:00.639
say is that it's consistently upgrading my
abilities. The magic is that what we

734
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:05.599
call it the magic ability, is
really fun to use and it changes completely

735
00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:08.000
based on your shell. There's over
what four hundred shells in the game,

736
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:14.039
which is really cool, and so
there's like obviously like under the water shells,

737
00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:17.519
but it could also be a bottle
cap or soda can soda can,

738
00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:21.880
Yeah, and I think they're each
distinct. And so in one of the

739
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:27.000
boss fights, there are tea cups
littered around, and the tea cups give

740
00:52:27.079 --> 00:52:31.599
you a surge of energy like fast
your faster walker, faster fighter, faster

741
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:36.679
combat. That is a thrill.
That is a very big joy to use

742
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:38.639
that magic item. So, I
mean, it's really fun to be able

743
00:52:38.679 --> 00:52:43.719
to change your butt and then like
completely change your character. Yeah, I

744
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:47.280
feel like it's a lot better than
you might expect based on kind of the

745
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:52.760
gimmick, you know. Fair assessment. I think it's a very cute game.

746
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:55.920
I think it's super fun to play. I plan on finishing it.

747
00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:00.639
The people that I've talked to who
have finished it said that it's rewarding until

748
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:07.000
you are done. And of course
you get like the classic uh what does

749
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:10.800
it call it, like a zip
line throw, or you can like you

750
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:16.280
know, zipzapp to different places and
they just thank you. I don't know

751
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:22.280
why I have. I have completely
forgotten the word grappling hook, but you

752
00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:24.239
can. They give you a grapple
right away, which is really nice and

753
00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:31.519
rewarding, and they consistently upgrade your
character's abilities throughout so that you can defeat

754
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:36.280
these new enemies with your new little
fancy ability. So I think I think

755
00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:39.480
it's neat. I've enjoyed it very
much, and I'm looking forward to playing

756
00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:43.559
more of it. Yeah, I
think I might keep going with it and

757
00:53:43.679 --> 00:53:45.719
finish up some other stuff and I'd
like to go back. You can also

758
00:53:45.800 --> 00:53:51.760
change the the the difficulty, which
is cool on the fly. Yes,

759
00:53:52.000 --> 00:54:00.000
so you can just you did I
give them any credit? That's pretty good?

760
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:07.199
Yeah, I mean I would sell
it to anyone who's ever played a

761
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:13.559
Soul's or souls Like. And I
would also sell it to younger audiences that

762
00:54:13.599 --> 00:54:15.920
are looking for a hefty challenge,
but it would have to be like a

763
00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:21.000
twelve year old with enthusiasm. I
would not give this to my eight year

764
00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:24.480
old niece. There is something nice
about like as great as from games are.

765
00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:28.039
You know, you start one and
it is a like, it is

766
00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:30.840
a assignment, It is a time
commitment, it is going to be a

767
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:34.880
big thing for a long time,
and like this does feel like a more

768
00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:37.320
bite sized chunk of like. I
like those type of games, but I

769
00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:40.119
don't necessarily want to spend fifty plus
hours, one hundred plus hours, you

770
00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:43.320
know, like doing that. So
I don't know how long it is.

771
00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:45.719
I can't imagine it's Elden Ring Link
or anything. No, So yeah,

772
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:50.400
yeah, no, I'm thumbs up
on that one. Yeah. I've also

773
00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:57.639
finally played more Rise of the Ronan. Speaking of souls Likes, I like

774
00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:00.239
that game. Have you guys played
it? Did you try it out?

775
00:55:00.440 --> 00:55:04.159
It was like that Alex Garland movie
where I just heard a bunch of people

776
00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:06.880
be like, Eh, it's okay, I got I could play. Then

777
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:12.760
I talked to Jake about it,
but it's men the game. Yeah like

778
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:17.159
Ninja Theories men, because Ninja Theory
most of their stuff is really good.

779
00:55:17.199 --> 00:55:21.519
But I'm not. I keep bouncing
off or as they're run in. I'm

780
00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:28.480
only like four hours in. I
liked Wolong Fallen Dynasty if you played that

781
00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:31.239
early last year. I liked Neo
one. I did not play Neo two

782
00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:37.679
yet, but basically I like anytime
Ninja Theory is doing their take on a

783
00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:42.280
souls like, or rather anytime they
do a Soul's like, and this one

784
00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:46.920
they went full open world. It
I figured to be a good companion game

785
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:53.360
to Showgun. So I was playing
this and I was trying to dig more

786
00:55:53.360 --> 00:56:00.079
into the game, but the open
world really just does not invite you to

787
00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:04.480
new places all that well. And
also I think open worlds are just spoiled

788
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:07.039
for me now because I want more
to do than just go somewhere, fight

789
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:10.440
a bunch of guys, come back, deliver something you know, somewhere new,

790
00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:14.920
fight a bunch of new guys,
and I like the combat here.

791
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:21.559
However, I feel like it's stuck
somewhere between Neo and Wolong Wolong was much

792
00:56:21.559 --> 00:56:28.280
more fast paced, acrobatic, still
very crunchy, but as opposed to Neo,

793
00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:31.760
which was very like you know,
Samurai stances more in line with Dark

794
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:37.760
Souls or not quite as quick as
Bloodborne. But this one feels stuck somewhere

795
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:42.280
between. It's very dependent on which
weapons you're using, and the annoying thing

796
00:56:42.440 --> 00:56:49.519
is that they make a big deal
about you picking a class that's going to

797
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:53.280
fit a couple of weapon styles.
Really well, you're getting so much loot

798
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:59.559
so often, similar to in Wolong, that I don't feel like I'm specializing

799
00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:01.719
in any thing. I'm just going
with whatever. The best two weapons I

800
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:08.440
have picked up are also same thing
with the armor, Like the fashion is

801
00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:15.280
alternately cool, but then all of
a sudden you're wearing like a British aristocratic

802
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:22.159
colonizers white pearl white shoes with your
Samurai gowns so Ronan gowns. I don't

803
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:29.920
know. The game just feels pretty
directionless and the world is gorgeous. It's

804
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:34.159
not at all on par with like
what I consider like the artistry of Ghost

805
00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:38.400
of Sushi Mo, but it's it's
one of Ninja theories better looking games in

806
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:43.519
terms of like the vistas you come
across. But I don't know, I

807
00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:49.320
really just there are some systems that
just feel ancillary, like you can you

808
00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:52.079
can do that thing where basically you
can flick the blood off your sword,

809
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:54.400
like again, they do that a
few times in Showgun. It's cool as

810
00:57:54.400 --> 00:58:00.320
hell to see, but you can
only do it between swings off your sword

811
00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:06.159
or your spear or your pol arm
et cetera. And I guess it's a

812
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:08.920
cool system in theory because once you
see that your thing is your weapon is

813
00:58:08.920 --> 00:58:12.320
covered in a lot of blood,
the more blood you flick off, the

814
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:15.360
more it adds to your key,
which is basically the same as NEO.

815
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:20.800
It's how it's your man out basically, which you use special abilities for dodging

816
00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:27.519
and whatnot. But if you're just
in the open world, I guess it

817
00:58:27.559 --> 00:58:30.599
doesn't like deplete. So basically,
you come into any fight and you have

818
00:58:30.639 --> 00:58:32.599
blood all over your sword, I
kind of would love to just like flick

819
00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:36.440
it off at the beginning of a
fight, like ghost Soushimo is really good

820
00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:37.480
about, Like, if you're not
going to stealth kill all these people in

821
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:42.000
this outpost, call them out.
You know how you had that mechanic where

822
00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:45.039
you could be like, come fucking
fight me high on or fight whatever what

823
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:46.679
have you. I wish you could, and I have not figured out a

824
00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:50.320
way to like flick blood off my
sword at the beginning of a fight,

825
00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:54.000
which would be a badass intimidation thing
in my opinion. I just killed a

826
00:58:54.000 --> 00:58:57.320
few of your friends here at their
blood. It's gone. Now let's fight.

827
00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:00.840
But you kind of have to do
this weird errant and then flick it

828
00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:04.559
off and then fight. That's such
a minor nippick, but it's one of

829
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:07.480
many, like a litany of things
that just lead to it feeling kind of

830
00:59:07.559 --> 00:59:10.719
rudderless. It feels lifeless as hell. I was talking to Jake, and

831
00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:16.000
Jake was just saying, like,
the exploration doesn't feel organic. The only

832
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:23.000
two quests I've gotten that The one
mechanic I really like is that once you

833
00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:28.400
free advantage of or a village of
bandits, you then get a bunch of

834
00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:32.559
quests or like challenges collectibles for that
village that up your relationship with that village,

835
00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:36.159
so the vendors will sell you better
stuff like I like that in theory

836
00:59:36.159 --> 00:59:40.239
because it's more like Kurasawa ask like
helping these smaller villages one by one.

837
00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:45.159
But in reality it's like, Okay, go do a fetch quest for the

838
00:59:45.199 --> 00:59:49.039
apothecary. Supposedly you got to go
up to this hilltop where these bandits are

839
00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:52.360
hanging out camping to get these herbs, but I just found four of those

840
00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:54.840
herbs I need on the way,
so I don't even need to go up

841
00:59:54.840 --> 01:00:01.199
there. It feels rushed like overall, and I feel like there's some cool

842
01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:07.199
ideas here storey. Narratively, you're
a Blade twin, so you create both

843
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:10.360
characters at the beginning, and then
I won't spoil anything I guess past the

844
01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:14.119
tutorial area, but you basically end
up with one of them. I think

845
01:00:14.159 --> 01:00:19.119
that's obvious based on what the trialers
have shown. I want to like this

846
01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:23.079
game. I just it's really just
pushing me away at every turn, and

847
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:28.920
the souls like aspects are really kind
of minor trivial. I should say,

848
01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:32.360
I don't know. I'd rather go
back to wo Long at some point.

849
01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:36.840
Yeah, this tracks with the enthusiasm
I've heard, Like I haven't heard a

850
01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:37.960
single person that's like, hell,
yeah, this is great, you know,

851
01:00:38.039 --> 01:00:40.400
Like, and I don't hear anyone
saying like this sucks. Everyone's just

852
01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:44.519
kind of like, eh, you
know, like it's it's honestly team then

853
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:50.280
just first missed for me since Neo
the first Neo. I love Wo long

854
01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:58.840
last year the China meets Fantasy like
Three Kingdoms era esque souls like that was

855
01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:04.400
very early twenty three. I love
Neo one. I've been mean to play

856
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:07.280
Neo two forever. This might be
my excuse go play Neo two finally,

857
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:10.280
because this is just not clicking with
me. Unfortunately. I'd rather play Ghost

858
01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:15.599
of Sushima or Neo two or elden
Ring, which I also started that new

859
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:20.880
file I talked about. So yeah, and that's an unfair comparison anything you

860
01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:23.920
compared to Elden Rings. Most games
are gonna paal in comparison. But yeah,

861
01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:28.039
I think it's fair though that when
you talk about when you would spend

862
01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:32.239
your time that you would rather replay
a game than try a new one,

863
01:01:32.239 --> 01:01:36.039
I think that is a valid thing
to say. I do feel like I'm

864
01:01:36.039 --> 01:01:37.719
not spending my time well playing Rise
of the Ronin, which is probably the

865
01:01:37.719 --> 01:01:40.039
worst thing I could say about a
game. Great, yeah, yeah,

866
01:01:40.079 --> 01:01:45.639
yeah, huh. I guess if
if we're on the from software, souls

867
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:50.719
like track here. I'll quickly update
on Stellar Blade. I play on yellow

868
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:53.840
Taxi Go room. Look, I
don't need to tell you about all of

869
01:01:53.880 --> 01:02:00.960
my intellectual pursuits. Stellar Blade.
It's it's good. I played like i'd

870
01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:04.840
say, four hours of it.
I think I was surprised. I saw

871
01:02:04.880 --> 01:02:07.559
the announced trailer and I assumed it
was gonna be more just kind of like

872
01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:12.800
stylish action Bayonetta style, more like
over the top type stuff, and it's

873
01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:15.480
not really that. It kind of
takes itself a little more seriously. It's

874
01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:19.559
more deliberate than I expected. Like
the combat and you know, the Perry's

875
01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:22.880
and counter attacks are way more from
than they are Devil May Cry or Bayonetta.

876
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:25.760
It's satisfying, like cool boss fights. It looks great. I mean

877
01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:29.960
for a developer that like this is
as far as I understand, their first

878
01:02:30.519 --> 01:02:32.360
big attempt at like, you know, a big time console game like this,

879
01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:37.360
it's pretty damn good. It's there
is like puzzle stuff that is not

880
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:39.360
really doing it for me. It's
just a lot of like find a thing,

881
01:02:39.519 --> 01:02:43.400
find a note that tells you this
sequence to put into a door to

882
01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:46.159
unlock. It's just not a lot
going on there. But the actual the

883
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:51.480
battles and everything are really really well
done, and it looks great. It's

884
01:02:51.519 --> 01:02:53.599
a I don't know I'm gonna keep
going with it, but overall, I'm

885
01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:59.559
enjoying it. I've been watching some
streamers play it, and to be honest

886
01:02:59.559 --> 01:03:01.480
with you, most though, I've
had nothing but good things to say about

887
01:03:01.480 --> 01:03:07.519
it. It's like a nice The
combat seems fluid and smooth, and uh,

888
01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:14.239
it's a joy to play and watch
her climb ladders, and I think

889
01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:17.199
people are really enjoying it. Yeah, it's solid. Everything is really solid.

890
01:03:17.239 --> 01:03:24.119
I mean, Mike would give it. But oh I love butts.

891
01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:30.360
I'm telling you, but watch her
climber rope. It's crazy. Well sorry,

892
01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:32.840
woh god, what's this game called? So I know to avoid it,

893
01:03:34.239 --> 01:03:40.400
tell her Blade Stellar Blade Climb a
Rope. I had a whole file

894
01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:52.239
on this lady whoas she's not you
can't deny it. Yeah, she's okay.

895
01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:58.079
I think it's great. Uh,
she looks good doing it. I

896
01:03:58.119 --> 01:04:00.840
would like to be her. I
have not played this yet, but it

897
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:04.519
is tempting because I've seen a lot
of people really enjoying this game, and

898
01:04:04.559 --> 01:04:08.320
I've watched so I've watched people play
it. I have not watched it,

899
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:14.039
but I've been observing other people playing
it, and it seems pretty fun.

900
01:04:14.559 --> 01:04:17.239
I think if you're into that,
you know, studying boss attacks and counter

901
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:20.559
attacking and windows and stuff like that
and upgrade trees. It's it's it's one

902
01:04:20.599 --> 01:04:26.199
of those, and it's a good
one of those. Yeah, Mary,

903
01:04:26.239 --> 01:04:28.880
what that? What that? What
that? What the age is Harold Halibate

904
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:38.400
Harold Halibit is a narrative game,
a point and click adventure, and it

905
01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:45.559
is claymation based and it took fourteen
years to make this game. It just

906
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:48.079
came out. I would love to
read you the synopsis I can. I'll

907
01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:57.199
tee you TLDR it. You're on
a ship and it's been two hundred and

908
01:04:57.239 --> 01:05:02.920
fifty years since essentially we left Earth
because I think it was going to die

909
01:05:03.039 --> 01:05:08.159
or something. They're kind of vague
about that, and everybody got on like

910
01:05:08.199 --> 01:05:18.079
an arc that was a spaceship and
now it's underwater somewhere and the environment is

911
01:05:18.119 --> 01:05:23.480
so freaking cool for this game because
you are underwater and there's these fish and

912
01:05:23.519 --> 01:05:30.119
stuff. But you are a mechanic
essentially on this arc, fixing things for

913
01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:33.480
people, and that's your life.
It's kind of a boring life, and

914
01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:36.440
if you think about it, you've
been You know, this arc has existed

915
01:05:36.719 --> 01:05:41.800
for two hundred and fifty years,
so Harold was like born on this ship.

916
01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:47.400
He doesn't know anything else besides like
life on this ship. It's pretty

917
01:05:47.440 --> 01:05:51.360
fun as long as you're interested in
a point and click adventure, which,

918
01:05:51.400 --> 01:05:57.760
as we all know, point click
adventures are very cocky and it's very slow.

919
01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:02.320
It's very west Anderson from these images, I'm sitting here very Wes Anderson.

920
01:06:02.519 --> 01:06:06.559
I think it's cheeky. The comedy
is cute, the writing is interesting,

921
01:06:06.920 --> 01:06:13.159
the story is very intriguing, and
I want to be very cautious with

922
01:06:13.280 --> 01:06:15.360
spoilers because I didn't even look at
a trailer before I played this game,

923
01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:19.800
and I recommend that right because a
lot of this. For the first three

924
01:06:19.840 --> 01:06:26.239
hours of this game, you are
doing mechanic tasks. Your boss asks you

925
01:06:26.320 --> 01:06:31.239
to clean the filter and something's not
working, and so you got to like

926
01:06:31.320 --> 01:06:39.119
figure out what's wrong. And there's
different systems in this arc that it's a

927
01:06:39.159 --> 01:06:43.679
ship really that helped power it,
and you have to like get the right

928
01:06:43.840 --> 01:06:50.119
rock to help your scientist boss discover
things about why your power is the power

929
01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:54.840
on the ship is going down a
little bit. But each time you do

930
01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:59.280
one of these little tasks for someone, you uncover a little bit more about

931
01:06:59.280 --> 01:07:01.880
the mystery of this place. You
learn a little bit more about this weird

932
01:07:02.119 --> 01:07:06.920
mayor and like what is their deal? You learn a little bit more about

933
01:07:06.920 --> 01:07:12.599
the story. And there's some really
good cliffhangers that are going on right now

934
01:07:12.639 --> 01:07:19.079
with this story about like what happened
to Earth? And why are we stuck

935
01:07:19.719 --> 01:07:27.679
in the water? And where are
we going? It asks really good questions

936
01:07:27.719 --> 01:07:31.039
and it's just it's just got some
really good intriguing pieces to it. But

937
01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:36.039
I will say, in classic point
and click adventure style, it will take

938
01:07:36.039 --> 01:07:41.760
you three hours before you're like,
oh, I think I like this game,

939
01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:45.039
and it's it's just a slow point
click, you know, it's really

940
01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:48.119
good. I think you might like
talkie games more than you let on.

941
01:07:49.519 --> 01:07:57.079
I don't what huh? I didn't
say that? Dan is right? Oh

942
01:07:57.079 --> 01:08:03.000
I did you added that your soundboard? I am not saying that just creep

943
01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:09.440
out so much. I appreciate the
agreement, but yeah, that's my voice.

944
01:08:10.320 --> 01:08:12.639
Wait, Dan, what was that
other opinion you were going to share

945
01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:16.640
a few minutes ago? I don't
have farts. What are you talking about?

946
01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:20.000
No, Dan, you were going
to say that, what were your

947
01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:24.520
thoughts on cozy games? That you
were going to provide your opinion on cozy

948
01:08:24.560 --> 01:08:27.880
games? No, I mean they're
not like real games. Dan is right.

949
01:08:28.439 --> 01:08:31.359
I don't agree with any of this. Get it off your soundboard?

950
01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:40.640
Probably right, that's MINAUGHTI Oh my
god, the discord what are you doing?

951
01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:44.479
That is not my voice? Oh
my god, you aren't such a

952
01:08:44.520 --> 01:08:50.840
psycho. You did not sound like
the edits. No No, last episode

953
01:08:50.920 --> 01:08:53.880
you agreed to the on a resident
evil thing, and I was like,

954
01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:56.680
I'm gonna write the time stamp on
that. Now. I don't believe you

955
01:08:56.720 --> 01:09:00.439
wrote this down that. Dan is
right. Damn it. I'm not saying

956
01:09:00.520 --> 01:09:05.840
this. I've been using that one
podcast. Oh my god, hold these

957
01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:11.199
down. Dan is wrong, Dan
is stupid, Dan is right. Damn

958
01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:14.560
it. Did you say Dan smell? Dan is right? Yes? I

959
01:09:14.560 --> 01:09:18.000
want him to use that more.
I can't. I don't know technically do

960
01:09:18.039 --> 01:09:21.479
that. That sounds complicated, like
a waste of time. Frankly, all

961
01:09:21.600 --> 01:09:28.319
right, move on. I've been
playing something called Thrones of Decay that has

962
01:09:28.399 --> 01:09:33.760
been capturing my attention. Uh,
it's a strategy game surprise. Oh my

963
01:09:33.800 --> 01:09:40.680
god, I'm shot elevator pitch is
that you spend half of it? Oh

964
01:09:40.760 --> 01:09:45.000
my god, h you spend half
of Thrones. Do you want us to

965
01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:49.359
hate you the whole podcast? Yeah, go ahead. Thrones are decay.

966
01:09:49.399 --> 01:09:51.880
You spend like half, if not
more, of it, like building up

967
01:09:51.920 --> 01:09:57.760
a civilization on a turn bass turn
based campaign map, managing your economy,

968
01:09:58.399 --> 01:10:01.560
trade routes, different city, et
cetera, building up your armies, and

969
01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:05.039
then the other half is when those
armies clash, you go into like real

970
01:10:05.079 --> 01:10:12.000
time strategy battles. The cool thing
about this is that it's also like heavily

971
01:10:12.359 --> 01:10:16.399
satirized, like fantasy World. So
you've got like vampires fighting the wolves.

972
01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:23.680
There's rats, there's there's like the
Empire at the height of the Holy Roman

973
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:30.199
Emprior kind of vibes fighting like fantasy
Russia. So Thrones of Decay is super

974
01:10:30.199 --> 01:10:35.880
cool because it adds new campaign mechanics
to different legendary lords, these leaders within

975
01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:42.319
these factions. So the new Dwarf
leader, did I mention this is DLC

976
01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:46.520
for Total War Warhammer three? You
motherfucker? You got us? You do

977
01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:50.479
know the game, then, don't
you? Now? Because we had a

978
01:10:50.479 --> 01:10:54.359
whole thing last week about it.
I don't know the game, I know

979
01:10:54.399 --> 01:10:59.640
what's the thing you like? Once
you said rats, my mind started.

980
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:02.119
That's in all my favorite all my
favorite games have rats. It's a prerequisite.

981
01:11:02.279 --> 01:11:09.039
Is there a rat and war Frame
in war Frame? Yeah? Ah,

982
01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:13.359
don't so you're fully ship I don't
think so. Okay, you're right,

983
01:11:13.439 --> 01:11:18.159
yeah, correct. I shouldn't have
said that. Was that a clean

984
01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:24.199
read? Okay, you're correct?
Write Wait Maryhann what was that? Mike

985
01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:30.840
Dan is an asshole? Oh yeah, okay, I can't use that to

986
01:11:30.840 --> 01:11:32.439
give you a good one? All
right, go ahead, go ahead.

987
01:11:32.479 --> 01:11:38.680
Mike Prime is made of donkey come. Oh my god, it's not anywhere

988
01:11:38.720 --> 01:11:45.439
on the ingredients. I can't use
that either. I've been playing the Ship

989
01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:48.920
out of Warhammer three's new d write
it down, right down. It's really

990
01:11:48.920 --> 01:11:51.359
good. It's a waste of time. I can't use that. I'm not

991
01:11:51.359 --> 01:11:56.720
going to monopolize any more conversation Warmer
three. But okay, genuinely, by

992
01:11:56.840 --> 01:12:06.159
Prime, genuinely, this may be
the Warhammer trilogy's best DLC. It's awesome

993
01:12:06.319 --> 01:12:11.039
that they added a bunch of new
wrinkles to the factions, as opposed to

994
01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:15.520
just new units. So if it's
like we're talking Reddler two, it's like,

995
01:12:15.560 --> 01:12:19.399
all right, URI's factions about mind
control. Imagine a new leader who

996
01:12:19.439 --> 01:12:25.640
comes in and it's less about mind
control than it is about like syop taking

997
01:12:25.640 --> 01:12:29.279
over the enemy forces, et cetera. Stuff like that. They actually like

998
01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:36.079
wreath bank rethunk rethunk a bunch of
the different warhammer I factions, dwarfs and

999
01:12:36.119 --> 01:12:40.960
then sounds like the right word.
But I believe you the idea that it's

1000
01:12:41.079 --> 01:12:44.920
called bothers something that doesn't seem like
a real word, but I think it

1001
01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:49.239
is. You say, doesn't.
No, you can't prove that I don't

1002
01:12:49.680 --> 01:12:58.199
a real word. I don't drink
this prime. Don't that's how you're pronounce

1003
01:12:58.239 --> 01:13:04.159
it. I'm gonna drink my prime. I'm make a soundboard of nothing but

1004
01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:09.479
Mike pretending to be you, And
I agree, Dan, I'm gonna drink

1005
01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:15.399
my palm with some Joe's burnt ends
out. That sounds fucking great. I

1006
01:13:15.439 --> 01:13:20.039
agree with that person that was weird. No, wonder you've smelled more.

1007
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:25.720
No, that's all done. I
don't sign like one day where it was

1008
01:13:25.760 --> 01:13:30.800
weird. I'm smelling good. Now. Do you know what the pros I

1009
01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:34.239
think it's probably my body fighting a
crazy infection for a month. Yeah,

1010
01:13:34.760 --> 01:13:39.840
infection, Yeah, and a bunch
of weird antibiotics and steroids and stuff.

1011
01:13:40.119 --> 01:13:45.319
That's probably the culprit and not prime. You just said, Oh, infections

1012
01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:48.920
sounds like a character one of the
new Legendar Lords and throws it decay is

1013
01:13:49.000 --> 01:13:55.000
based around infections. I'm not kidding. It's Tom or Com the Maggot Lords.

1014
01:13:56.119 --> 01:14:03.079
Why can't that be my sounds anything
besides what you've given me, it's

1015
01:14:03.079 --> 01:14:08.319
a good one. Grub gave me
a clean read today too, so I'm

1016
01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:12.840
filling up, Like Dan, what
were you saying? What was it that

1017
01:14:12.920 --> 01:14:18.880
you were saying about the fact that
Dredge was really high up our our Game

1018
01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:23.079
of the Year less last year.
I mean, look, it's not a

1019
01:14:23.199 --> 01:14:26.520
terrible game, but it definitely didn't
deserve to be anywhere near a top ten.

1020
01:14:26.640 --> 01:14:30.079
Dan is right. Ah, wow, she really agreed with me.

1021
01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:39.600
That was I heard one. You
could just fuck me at any moment,

1022
01:14:39.800 --> 01:14:44.720
anytime, and like just ruin the
way that I want to feel. I'm

1023
01:14:44.760 --> 01:14:48.840
not doing a podcast in which we
can fuck you. This is a zero

1024
01:14:48.920 --> 01:14:54.720
out of ten for me. This
is most anti come on, I've never

1025
01:14:54.880 --> 01:15:02.399
had take it out. Look,
there's no way physically I can do that.

1026
01:15:02.600 --> 01:15:10.359
Dan is right. I do think
Dan is probably right. I hate

1027
01:15:10.600 --> 01:15:16.520
this. It's great too, because
we'll upload our local tracks, so it's

1028
01:15:16.560 --> 01:15:20.239
very easy to get a nice,
clean read there. Oh you. The

1029
01:15:20.279 --> 01:15:25.920
fact that you took your time to
go through my solo track and then got

1030
01:15:25.960 --> 01:15:30.359
a timestamp of when I said something
moderately positive about you and then placed it

1031
01:15:30.399 --> 01:15:36.479
in a soundboard to punish me says
a lot about you. I mean right,

1032
01:15:36.840 --> 01:15:50.479
Dan is right, absolute nasty file
garbage, chuck man. I hate

1033
01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:53.720
you. Well, how about that, Sam? But I agree with you

1034
01:15:53.760 --> 01:15:59.560
on a game he recommended to me. Let's hear it Children on Sunday.

1035
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:01.760
Are you dead the rat game?
Mike, I don't want to cut you

1036
01:16:01.760 --> 01:16:08.680
off. Yeah, okay, that
sounds good. Yeah, I uh okay.

1037
01:16:08.760 --> 01:16:12.720
Mary. You gave me the hard
sell on Children of the Sun last

1038
01:16:12.800 --> 01:16:15.600
episode, and I checked it out
and I sat down and I played it

1039
01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:18.479
twice and beat it. I did
it in two sessions. I was having

1040
01:16:18.520 --> 01:16:21.960
so much fun with it. It
is kind of exactly what I wanted.

1041
01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:25.880
Like there was just like a night
where I actually had some free time and

1042
01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:28.039
I was like oh what am I
gonna play kind of between stuff. I

1043
01:16:28.199 --> 01:16:30.600
don't want to get in back into
the acid. That's a big time equipment

1044
01:16:30.680 --> 01:16:33.399
thing. Children of the Sun was
like a few hours long. It does

1045
01:16:33.399 --> 01:16:38.399
not wear out. It's welcome.
It seems like every stage. It tends

1046
01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:41.640
every stage or two, I would
say, it introduces a little wrinkle in

1047
01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:45.520
just the way they kind of like
layout where the enemies are or where oh

1048
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:46.720
okay, now you can shoot these
car things and they blow up, and

1049
01:16:47.199 --> 01:16:50.039
now you're getting these different vantage points
through birds and fish and stuff. Now

1050
01:16:50.079 --> 01:16:54.239
you're bending the bullets. Now you're
doing the thing where there's a whole new

1051
01:16:54.239 --> 01:16:57.399
thing with weak points and you get
a couple of shots and you can completely

1052
01:16:57.439 --> 01:17:00.640
reaim your bullet in mid air.
It is totally my type of game.

1053
01:17:00.800 --> 01:17:02.920
It is very dewey. You were
right about the story stuff. It's faced

1054
01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:04.800
like, ah, you're an evil
colt. There's a guy who're gonna wind

1055
01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:08.600
up killing him. That's it.
Yeah, that's totally fine. And it

1056
01:17:08.640 --> 01:17:12.439
does like fun little interstitial stuff after
every handful levels where it's like here's a

1057
01:17:12.439 --> 01:17:15.359
weird little pac Man minigame while you
clean your gun, or here's like a

1058
01:17:15.399 --> 01:17:18.399
car sequence or here's like it mixes
things up enough to keep that interesting.

1059
01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:24.319
The challenge is really there. I
thought the last level was extremely smartly put

1060
01:17:24.399 --> 01:17:27.359
together where I don't want to spoil
the actual mechanics, but it's like a

1061
01:17:27.439 --> 01:17:30.359
multi phase thing before you get to
the very end. And I tried so

1062
01:17:30.479 --> 01:17:33.840
many different times, and like I
normally, I wasn't getting mad when I

1063
01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:36.279
failed, because it was like,
Okay, now I'm gonna need to I

1064
01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:40.279
need to get that guy first because
he has eyes on that one, and

1065
01:17:40.319 --> 01:17:42.199
then I can go up to the
bird. I got two birds I can

1066
01:17:42.319 --> 01:17:45.880
use and figure out. Like it's
just it is such a smart game.

1067
01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:48.920
It's a puzzle game, it's a
sniping game. It's got style out the

1068
01:17:48.960 --> 01:17:53.760
ass it is. It's so good. It's the right length if you're looking

1069
01:17:53.800 --> 01:17:58.319
for something short. They do a
remarkable amount of things with just the mouse.

1070
01:17:58.720 --> 01:18:00.359
You know. I was asking last
the episode of like be a good

1071
01:18:00.399 --> 01:18:02.399
Steam deck game, and after playing
it, it's like, no, I

1072
01:18:02.439 --> 01:18:05.079
think you should play this at the
mouse, Like it's really uh, you

1073
01:18:05.079 --> 01:18:09.399
don't even need like anything on your
keyboard. It's just like moving around ding

1074
01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:12.119
the bullets. Yeah, left,
right, click, yeah, wheel,

1075
01:18:12.640 --> 01:18:15.880
you do a lot of great stuff
with just that. Yeah, it's uh.

1076
01:18:16.039 --> 01:18:19.800
I was very very into that game, enjoyed every second of it.

1077
01:18:19.920 --> 01:18:26.640
So, uh, top notch recommendation. Mary's that's great. Would you say

1078
01:18:26.680 --> 01:18:32.479
that I was right about that game? You? Yeah? You Mary?

1079
01:18:33.159 --> 01:18:39.600
Watching him work through the logic of
that just now and he almost pressed the

1080
01:18:39.600 --> 01:18:42.840
button. Yeah, I did,
like, wait a minute, that it

1081
01:18:42.880 --> 01:18:45.800
makes sense, doesn't work. It
finally doesn't work. I got to actually

1082
01:18:45.840 --> 01:18:51.000
talk. Mary was right, absolutely, yes. Oh but let's go tip

1083
01:18:51.000 --> 01:18:54.560
for tat here. All right.
So you gave me a homework assignment last

1084
01:18:54.560 --> 01:18:56.520
time, I'm gonna give you one
for the next episode. All right,

1085
01:18:56.600 --> 01:19:00.399
okay, yeah, I love this
all right, mini shoot, as I'm

1086
01:19:00.439 --> 01:19:04.079
telling you this fucking game. This
is like one or two heard for you

1087
01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:09.640
to say that. I put it
in our discord, pay it. I

1088
01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:13.119
link to it. I gave the
heart cell the discord and interview responded.

1089
01:19:13.199 --> 01:19:19.720
So I'm gonna do it here,
say animal. Well, I'm not prepared.

1090
01:19:20.199 --> 01:19:25.359
No, I can't talk about that
yet, but you you encourage me

1091
01:19:25.439 --> 01:19:30.560
to play it. But I also
scroll up, scroll up, scrolling,

1092
01:19:32.239 --> 01:19:35.359
there we go. I link to
the same page. Many, shoot,

1093
01:19:35.359 --> 01:19:39.079
it's about Okay, here's the deal. It's a bad name. There's a

1094
01:19:39.119 --> 01:19:43.439
fucking random apostrophe in it after Mini
Shoot, which I don't know what the

1095
01:19:43.439 --> 01:19:45.840
hell that's about, and it's gonna
be on our GODI for worst name,

1096
01:19:47.239 --> 01:19:50.119
honestly, yeah, because it's kind
of a crime, because this game is

1097
01:19:50.159 --> 01:19:55.880
fucking awesome and it's got a bad
title, a weird apostrophe, and frankly,

1098
01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:59.159
the art is pretty like it's not
it doesn't really stand out. It's

1099
01:19:59.239 --> 01:20:00.199
very clean and Chris and you know
what you're looking at. So it's good

1100
01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:03.359
for gameplay, but it like you're
not going to sell anyone off the art

1101
01:20:03.399 --> 01:20:09.680
style it is. It is a
bullet out so it's Geometry Wars meets Zelda.

1102
01:20:10.039 --> 01:20:13.760
You know, it's a twin stick
shooter meets Zelda with some Metrodvania elements.

1103
01:20:14.159 --> 01:20:18.159
So you've got an open map,
like really simple art it is.

1104
01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:20.600
It is, Yeah, absolutely,
so like let's get that. That's the

1105
01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:25.079
negatives out of the way right right
away. All of the gameplay stuff.

1106
01:20:25.439 --> 01:20:29.880
This it's just dopamine the game.
It is everything from the leveling out,

1107
01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:32.319
like the upgrades that you get,
to the sounds everything makes when you're shooting

1108
01:20:32.359 --> 01:20:34.960
it, like the upgrades are fucking
fantastic. So imagine getting like when you're

1109
01:20:34.960 --> 01:20:38.840
playing a shoot them up and you
get the thing that turns your one beam

1110
01:20:39.039 --> 01:20:43.319
of a fire into two and splits. You're constantly getting feelings like that,

1111
01:20:43.359 --> 01:20:46.199
but it's in a fucking Zelda type
game, so like it somehow feels so

1112
01:20:46.279 --> 01:20:48.960
much more impactful when it's not just
a vertical scroller or something like that.

1113
01:20:49.079 --> 01:20:51.800
It's like, oh shit, I
have this thing, and now I can

1114
01:20:51.800 --> 01:20:55.239
break through these rocks and so this
whole part of the map is open now

1115
01:20:55.319 --> 01:20:58.239
you know, metrod shit. But
then it's also got straight up dungeons where

1116
01:20:58.239 --> 01:21:01.279
you're getting keys, you're kind of
solving, you're having kind of arena fights

1117
01:21:01.319 --> 01:21:05.159
and big boss fights at the end
and everything, and it's it's got a

1118
01:21:05.199 --> 01:21:09.319
great upgrade tree. It all feels
super impactful, like all the upgrades you

1119
01:21:09.359 --> 01:21:12.159
get, and it's super easy to
like they're like, like, you know,

1120
01:21:12.199 --> 01:21:14.640
you'll meet a character that wants to
race you, and you can so

1121
01:21:14.760 --> 01:21:18.399
easily go into your upgrades and take
crystals out of like your damage and your

1122
01:21:18.399 --> 01:21:21.600
fire range and stuff and put it
into your move speed or your boost speed

1123
01:21:21.680 --> 01:21:25.680
for the race, and then go
right back out to the overworld, throw

1124
01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:29.159
all your stuff and damage and everything, and and get back at it.

1125
01:21:29.159 --> 01:21:32.279
It's I would say, you play
this game for five minutes and you know

1126
01:21:32.399 --> 01:21:35.239
you're gonna love it. And I
one hundred percent of it. I loved

1127
01:21:35.279 --> 01:21:39.399
it so much that took about nine
hours. It is a killer steam Deck

1128
01:21:39.439 --> 01:21:42.520
game, runs great on the Steam
Deck. Would be an incredible flight game.

1129
01:21:42.640 --> 01:21:45.560
I mean it has to. It's
like made of clip art. I

1130
01:21:46.960 --> 01:21:49.600
was, I was talking about how
much I love it, and Mike Manatti

1131
01:21:49.680 --> 01:21:53.079
was like, wait, Dan,
how was this not like you can marry

1132
01:21:53.079 --> 01:21:58.680
someone shit for a hollow night looking
like a flash game, and this game

1133
01:21:59.279 --> 01:22:03.520
looks ridiculously simple. But I believe
you with how good the gameplay looks.

1134
01:22:04.159 --> 01:22:09.359
I love bullet Hells, so like, this is not a tough sell for

1135
01:22:09.439 --> 01:22:13.560
me. This seems really fun.
Then then yeah, next episode. I

1136
01:22:13.560 --> 01:22:16.079
would love to hear your thoughts because
I have rec I have like fully soapbox

1137
01:22:16.359 --> 01:22:20.159
evangelical for this game to so many
friends and people outside the industry, people

1138
01:22:20.159 --> 01:22:25.960
in the industry, and one hundred
percent success rate. Every single person I've

1139
01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:29.159
shown it to has been like,
this is awesome. I also really do

1140
01:22:29.319 --> 01:22:32.279
like steam Deck games because I've been
traveling a lot. It's so nice.

1141
01:22:32.399 --> 01:22:38.520
I no longer carry my switch.
It's steam Deck all the way on my

1142
01:22:38.640 --> 01:22:43.439
plane. And being able to have
five it sounds like a lot, but

1143
01:22:43.560 --> 01:22:47.760
five solid steam Deck games ready and
to go is a joy. It's like,

1144
01:22:48.399 --> 01:22:53.439
I've already beat Bilatro today, so
I need something else to keep me

1145
01:22:53.520 --> 01:22:59.560
going. I guess I'll play a
little bit of another Crabs Treasure. I'm

1146
01:22:59.560 --> 01:23:01.399
stuck on Boss all right, I'll
play Mini Shoot Adventure. You need like

1147
01:23:01.920 --> 01:23:05.159
three to five games to keep you
going. That's exactly what I've got this

1148
01:23:05.199 --> 01:23:08.920
flight through Europe coming up, and
so I just I'm keeping a running list

1149
01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:11.560
of like, Okay, I want
to load my steam Deck up with stuff

1150
01:23:11.560 --> 01:23:15.279
that, like I've got this twelve
hour flight or whatever. Let me see

1151
01:23:15.319 --> 01:23:17.159
what I got here. You're you're
a big steam Deck travel person, so

1152
01:23:17.279 --> 01:23:20.239
let me let me hear what you
think of these. Stardu had an update.

1153
01:23:21.199 --> 01:23:26.000
I've been hearing Monster Train as good
Slay the Spire. I didn't play

1154
01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:28.680
as much good as I went to
Monster Train on steam Deck. Is I

1155
01:23:28.800 --> 01:23:30.800
put like one hundred hours into it
on steam Deck. It's awesome. Yeah,

1156
01:23:30.800 --> 01:23:34.239
I've heard good things a Yellow Taxio
Room of course, another Crabs Treasure

1157
01:23:34.359 --> 01:23:39.000
Animal. Well yeah, yeah,
So like I think stuff like Slay the

1158
01:23:39.000 --> 01:23:42.319
Spire and Monster Train and Stardo if
I get into, like, if I

1159
01:23:42.359 --> 01:23:45.760
get into the groove of that,
those will just let time melt away.

1160
01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:49.520
So like that's you're right, Mary, that the Steam Deck is so versatile,

1161
01:23:49.600 --> 01:23:51.840
and like, I love the Switch. It's had a fucking incredible run,

1162
01:23:53.119 --> 01:23:57.439
but at this point run it's underpowered, and the library isn't as crazy.

1163
01:23:57.439 --> 01:24:00.760
I mean, obviously Steam Deck has
all of Steam and Laters and ship,

1164
01:24:00.920 --> 01:24:03.560
so yeah, it has everything the
body needs. And I just don't

1165
01:24:03.600 --> 01:24:08.279
think that there's any reason to go
with a Switch anymore unless you're a mom.

1166
01:24:08.399 --> 01:24:11.279
I've had a mom ask me what
handheld she should get, and I'm

1167
01:24:11.279 --> 01:24:15.119
like, get a Switch. But
like, yeah, Steam dut just needs

1168
01:24:15.359 --> 01:24:18.039
Breath of the Wild and Tears the
Kingdom, then man, you can make

1169
01:24:18.079 --> 01:24:24.279
that happen too. Yeah, but
uh yeah, yeah, Mary, I

1170
01:24:24.279 --> 01:24:28.600
I feel incredibly confident in you liking, like, even just as a bullet

1171
01:24:28.600 --> 01:24:31.039
hell game, it is fantastic,
but the fact that it's in this wrapping

1172
01:24:31.119 --> 01:24:35.159
of a full on Zelda map open
world thing, like it's it's great It's

1173
01:24:35.239 --> 01:24:39.560
just a fantastic fucking game, and
I will be pushing hard for it come

1174
01:24:39.600 --> 01:24:44.439
Game of the Year. I will
I will take a look, yepure,

1175
01:24:44.479 --> 01:24:48.159
what's going on with that apostrophe?
Um? No raps? That really intellectual?

1176
01:24:48.439 --> 01:24:54.520
You know? Is that really a
thinky? It's it's it is hell

1177
01:24:55.079 --> 01:24:58.600
if this fucking game doesn't win most
Dewey of the Year, and then something's

1178
01:24:58.640 --> 01:25:02.199
wrong with our you mine. There's
so many dewey games this year, not

1179
01:25:02.439 --> 01:25:06.560
as dowey as many shooting goods.
I thank you. Oh my god,

1180
01:25:09.239 --> 01:25:14.920
that's gonna lose its value so fucking
fast. What was that thing you were

1181
01:25:14.920 --> 01:25:18.239
saying about Hollow Night Silk Song?
Oh, it's never gonna come out,

1182
01:25:18.239 --> 01:25:25.960
and when it finally does, it's
gonna be it's gonna be disappointing. It's

1183
01:25:25.960 --> 01:25:32.039
a machine gun. I will overpower
my own obnoxious Jake on Mary's Local.

1184
01:25:32.079 --> 01:25:39.079
Can you just kind of mute that
for that? Put it up video evidence

1185
01:25:39.079 --> 01:25:43.760
now help me? Now, I
want to pull that out and just hear

1186
01:25:43.840 --> 01:25:47.520
Margaret Oh, I could use that
too, if it's something that would be

1187
01:25:47.520 --> 01:25:56.399
funny for her to disagree with.
Richard Richard Nixon was a terrible president all

1188
01:25:56.520 --> 01:26:02.079
right, let me make a note
to grab that Mary disagree thing. Okay,

1189
01:26:05.840 --> 01:26:13.279
my autonomy. You ought to have
a total arcs animal. Have you

1190
01:26:13.319 --> 01:26:16.359
both played Animal? Well, we
can't talk about that. Oh why did

1191
01:26:16.399 --> 01:26:19.640
you write it down? I did? We didn't. What are you talking

1192
01:26:19.680 --> 01:26:24.319
about? Oh? Mary said it
earlier? I said it? Because we're

1193
01:26:24.319 --> 01:26:27.159
not allowed to talk about it.
We've agreed that we're going to play it

1194
01:26:27.199 --> 01:26:29.920
and talk about it next episode when
we're allowed to talk about it, and

1195
01:26:30.079 --> 01:26:32.439
we both agreed to talk about it, we cannot talk about it yet.

1196
01:26:32.560 --> 01:26:36.199
Warning. Oh content warning. That's
a short one. So that's a remember

1197
01:26:36.279 --> 01:26:42.359
Lethal Company. Yep, it's that, But it's you are like YouTubers who

1198
01:26:42.359 --> 01:26:45.520
are going down into a mine and
you're basically trying to make money by monetizing

1199
01:26:45.520 --> 01:26:49.800
crazy videos. So you're like one
person will have a camera and you have

1200
01:26:49.840 --> 01:26:54.000
a limited amount of like you know, videotap basically or best card space.

1201
01:26:54.039 --> 01:26:56.600
It's like you'll do an intro and
you can do like selfie, like hey

1202
01:26:56.640 --> 01:26:59.520
guys, we're here, I'm Dan
going down to the mines with Mike and

1203
01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:01.760
Mary. Mike say something might jump
off the roof. Mary, you do

1204
01:27:01.800 --> 01:27:05.279
this crazy thing like as you do
crazy things or whatever. It will add

1205
01:27:05.359 --> 01:27:08.399
like at the end of the level, when you come up from the mines,

1206
01:27:08.840 --> 01:27:11.520
it put you burn it to a
disc and you all sit around at

1207
01:27:11.520 --> 01:27:14.880
TV and watch it and you can
watch like a live chat react to it.

1208
01:27:14.920 --> 01:27:16.880
So if like Mary falls to her
death or gets eaten by a spider,

1209
01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:19.319
you'll see a bunch of people be
like, oh shit, Mary,

1210
01:27:19.359 --> 01:27:21.600
what a dumbass? Like, Oh, that's that sucked. You're like,

1211
01:27:21.600 --> 01:27:25.119
oh, man, I hope she's
okay. Like and so the more crazy

1212
01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:28.199
stuff you shoot while you're in the
mines, the more likes you get,

1213
01:27:28.199 --> 01:27:30.039
the more monetized it is. So
it's just it's the Lethal Company thing,

1214
01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:33.000
but instead of I found a screw, give me money, it's I shot

1215
01:27:33.000 --> 01:27:36.359
this crazy thing. Put it on. It's called spook Tobe, I think.

1216
01:27:36.680 --> 01:27:40.560
And yeah, I monetized it,
and I got to a certain a

1217
01:27:40.560 --> 01:27:42.880
mount after three days or whatever,
and you're buying new stuff, so you

1218
01:27:42.880 --> 01:27:45.600
can buy microphones. There's like green
screens and stuff, so you can like

1219
01:27:45.680 --> 01:27:49.720
shoot stuff in front of that.
It's just a harder comedic bend to than

1220
01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:54.720
Lethal Company. I would say,
oh interesting, Yeah, I think I

1221
01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:59.079
think it would make for a very
fun uh maybe Patreon video or play session

1222
01:27:59.119 --> 01:28:01.159
with us. Oh okay, I
was I was curious what the art style

1223
01:28:01.199 --> 01:28:06.199
looked like. And it's like it's
clip art minus one. But they're they're

1224
01:28:06.239 --> 01:28:13.760
like old school scuba divers with Yeah, I know. The face masks are

1225
01:28:13.800 --> 01:28:15.640
like, uh, what do you
want to call them? Key? And

1226
01:28:15.720 --> 01:28:18.479
you can also type that in so
your face can just say ass or whatever.

1227
01:28:19.279 --> 01:28:21.960
And you you live in like a
farmhouse like this idea, like farmhouse

1228
01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:26.159
and stuff. Then you just go
down in this horrible held Kafka world or

1229
01:28:26.199 --> 01:28:29.960
whatever. Uh. It's it's cool. It's a really cool idea. I'm

1230
01:28:29.960 --> 01:28:33.079
not above ass for face. I
think I might have done ass. I

1231
01:28:33.079 --> 01:28:38.119
think I did ass. Yeah,
but it's funny. And it's from the

1232
01:28:38.159 --> 01:28:45.520
people who made uh Landfall publisher.
That's from the people who made like tabs

1233
01:28:45.760 --> 01:28:49.000
totally accurate battle simulation. Oh it's
them. Okay, interesting, Okay that

1234
01:28:49.000 --> 01:28:54.479
that checks out. Okay, that
makes sense with the content minds. Yeah,

1235
01:28:54.479 --> 01:28:58.720
it's fun. Do you think that
they ripped this idea though? I

1236
01:28:58.800 --> 01:29:02.239
mean it's pretty straight up like Lethal
Company. It's like I think they it's

1237
01:29:02.279 --> 01:29:08.640
a funnier angle on it than Lethal
Company. But yeah, there's there's no

1238
01:29:08.680 --> 01:29:13.840
doubt there's an inspiration there. Okay, yeah, all right, do you

1239
01:29:13.880 --> 01:29:16.640
guys want to talk about video games
that? What do you guys want to

1240
01:29:16.680 --> 01:29:21.439
do emails? Oh yeah, okay. As usually, you can write to

1241
01:29:21.520 --> 01:29:27.880
fire Escape casts at gmail dot com. The questions comments concerns constructive feedback.

1242
01:29:28.319 --> 01:29:32.600
I don't read that mainly questions about
video games or otherwise. Uh, we

1243
01:29:32.720 --> 01:29:38.079
have one here. First off,
that's not really a question. Mike Manatti

1244
01:29:38.640 --> 01:29:42.399
just needs some attention, so he
wrote into the fire Escape cast, sound

1245
01:29:42.520 --> 01:29:46.359
like Mike. For the record,
I know at one point, uh me

1246
01:29:46.439 --> 01:29:50.920
and Mike were good friends. Uh
huh uh that has changed. I actually

1247
01:29:51.119 --> 01:29:57.840
decided he's dead to me, Oh
I saw this cliff, so, uh

1248
01:29:58.239 --> 01:30:02.399
we got a dead guy, right. And then the I don't know,

1249
01:30:02.520 --> 01:30:10.319
I don't know what you're talking about. Was it the Twitch clip when he

1250
01:30:10.399 --> 01:30:13.199
called him Matt Maharty and he goes, wait, we have the same name.

1251
01:30:14.319 --> 01:30:18.079
I forget Yep, that's the one. We're best friends. So uh,

1252
01:30:18.239 --> 01:30:21.079
I'll read this one from the dead
guy. How about fire Escape.

1253
01:30:21.319 --> 01:30:25.640
On the last episode, you were
asked to name game series? Okay,

1254
01:30:25.680 --> 01:30:28.079
well, his grammar is also terrible. In addition to being dead, you

1255
01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:30.399
were asked to name a game series. I'll fill that in for you,

1256
01:30:30.439 --> 01:30:32.640
making me edit your work. I
guess that's more extra work. Cool with

1257
01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:36.439
one bad game, and Final Fantasy
came up after you look at a list

1258
01:30:36.520 --> 01:30:40.920
online. I thought this guy wrote
for a living as a Final Fantasy fan.

1259
01:30:40.960 --> 01:30:43.239
I don't think that one really works, at least if we're talking about

1260
01:30:43.279 --> 01:30:46.199
mainline number games. Yeah, f
F thirteen gets plenty of criticism, and

1261
01:30:46.239 --> 01:30:49.840
it certainly deserves some, but it
has a great battle system and gorgeous visuals

1262
01:30:49.840 --> 01:30:55.520
that still look great. What's your
question? Great twice in that it's Metacritic

1263
01:30:55.640 --> 01:30:59.960
is like astrophe with its metacritics.
Yep, it's Metacritic is like three,

1264
01:31:00.279 --> 01:31:03.239
so definitely not near the series plural. It's not plural. Oh no,

1265
01:31:03.239 --> 01:31:08.640
no, far from being a bad
game. A lot of FF games have

1266
01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:13.560
been in the mid to low is
probably right, thank you. I think

1267
01:31:13.600 --> 01:31:16.199
that's why Dan hasn't heard any enthusiastic
praise for a main Final Fantasy. Outside

1268
01:31:16.199 --> 01:31:18.439
of the remakes. There's still good
games, but it's been a while since

1269
01:31:18.520 --> 01:31:25.600
one was university universally loved. Aside
from Final Fantasy fourteen, but Dan doesn't

1270
01:31:25.640 --> 01:31:29.199
know about that because it's an MMO, And before he says that he doesn't

1271
01:31:29.239 --> 01:31:30.399
know anyone who plays it, I
told him that I play it many times,

1272
01:31:30.399 --> 01:31:35.520
that is all Matt Manatti. Well
I know that now, Mike,

1273
01:31:35.680 --> 01:31:39.840
because you say that you play it
many times. But that's going to be

1274
01:31:39.840 --> 01:31:44.239
gone in four to six hours,
so I'm going to go right back to

1275
01:31:44.399 --> 01:31:50.560
no one I know playing Final Fantasy
fourteen MMOs. Thanks Matt, okay questions

1276
01:31:50.600 --> 01:31:59.399
please, Yeah, I don't need
your I don't need your meg megalomaniacal ramblings

1277
01:31:59.520 --> 01:32:06.039
in our box, Mitch for you
got him, Yeah, you got under

1278
01:32:06.600 --> 01:32:10.960
Manatti, you got under his skin. Listen, you don't want me on

1279
01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:15.159
your bad side because I'm like ice
baby. I think I think Manatti could

1280
01:32:15.239 --> 01:32:18.279
kick your ass. This is just
like the Drake and Kendrick Lamar Beef.

1281
01:32:19.119 --> 01:32:24.880
I will write the sixth, six
minute, twenty second disc track of Mitch

1282
01:32:24.920 --> 01:32:30.439
Manatti. I don't like your I
don't like the way you game. I

1283
01:32:30.479 --> 01:32:39.439
don't like the way that you write
questions in his best posturephes the motherfucker?

1284
01:32:39.680 --> 01:32:44.159
All right, Dan, do you
want to read this one from Darien?

1285
01:32:44.720 --> 01:32:46.680
Yes? Der Escapists below is a
list of items. Choose one of the

1286
01:32:46.760 --> 01:32:50.359
other. Please be a biased This
isn't one of those hypotheticals where one discard

1287
01:32:50.399 --> 01:32:58.039
stops existing or whatever. Oh okay, so just one better friendly one versus

1288
01:32:58.039 --> 01:33:00.640
the other. Okay, caramel or
chocolate? Wait? Do you want to

1289
01:33:00.680 --> 01:33:03.479
are we doing like three two one? Say it? Or like how we

1290
01:33:03.760 --> 01:33:06.720
like? How are we doing this? Yeah, let's do I'll say it

1291
01:33:06.760 --> 01:33:10.920
and I'll go one two three boom
and we'll do quick rad fire here we

1292
01:33:11.000 --> 01:33:14.199
go. Okay, caramel or chocolate? One two three? Caramel? Carma?

1293
01:33:14.520 --> 01:33:18.159
Chocolate? What is caramel? Me
and Bob were talking about caramel today.

1294
01:33:18.239 --> 01:33:21.880
You say caramel? Or do you
say caramel? Caramel? I always

1295
01:33:21.920 --> 01:33:27.760
said carmel, but yeah I started. I started saying caramel as a child,

1296
01:33:27.800 --> 01:33:31.279
but as a sophisticated man, now
I say caramel. You can think

1297
01:33:34.359 --> 01:33:38.239
first person games, A, third
person games one two, three, third

1298
01:33:38.239 --> 01:33:43.600
person games? Oh first third?
I wasn't paying attention to third third third?

1299
01:33:43.680 --> 01:33:49.399
Agreed? Hotels are Airbnb one two
three, B and b's. It's

1300
01:33:49.399 --> 01:33:53.880
getting weirder, it's getting worse.
The reason I still like airbnbs is because

1301
01:33:53.880 --> 01:33:58.800
they're traditionally more dog friendly and I
take my dog everywhere, so an Airbnb

1302
01:33:58.960 --> 01:34:00.800
is more likely to be dog friendly. But if if it was a hotel

1303
01:34:00.840 --> 01:34:04.760
that was dog friendly or an Airbnb, I'd probably pick the hotel. Sure,

1304
01:34:04.960 --> 01:34:09.920
yeah, Airbnb is getting worse.
I hear it's mainly cost right,

1305
01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:14.479
Yeah, and sometimes sometimes the hosts
are weird, Like sometimes the hosts are

1306
01:34:14.520 --> 01:34:17.319
like, hey, before you leave, take all the sheets off of the

1307
01:34:17.359 --> 01:34:21.960
bed and put them in the washer
and make sure all But the thing is

1308
01:34:21.960 --> 01:34:27.279
is like I'm paying a cleaner to
come in. I pay for that cleaner.

1309
01:34:27.920 --> 01:34:30.560
Why are you making me strip my
own bed? I don't. I

1310
01:34:30.640 --> 01:34:33.840
just like don't agree with their systems. I don't agree. I don't even

1311
01:34:33.840 --> 01:34:36.199
think I should do the dishes.
I know that some people would be like

1312
01:34:36.239 --> 01:34:43.079
Mary, that's gross dish in a
hotel room I leave, like the food

1313
01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:47.439
on the floor. It's just like
this is a part of the exchange of

1314
01:34:47.560 --> 01:34:51.159
services that we have agreed upon.
This is a part of it. Is

1315
01:34:51.159 --> 01:34:54.800
that I don't have to clean up
after myself. I don't like that in

1316
01:34:54.800 --> 01:35:00.239
an airbnb. Like I'm like wiping
down the counter on the kitchen before where

1317
01:35:00.279 --> 01:35:01.680
I leave so that I don't get
a bad rating, and it's like I'm

1318
01:35:01.760 --> 01:35:06.800
paying a cleaner to come in here, let them clean after my burger.

1319
01:35:06.960 --> 01:35:11.000
I just don't understand it. It
is like a different dynamic too. It's

1320
01:35:11.000 --> 01:35:14.039
like this more like Oh, I'm
at this person's place versus like, Oh,

1321
01:35:14.119 --> 01:35:16.039
I'm at this corporation's place with you
know, a million people that work

1322
01:35:16.079 --> 01:35:23.920
here and stuff corporations. He always
loves I'm with the small guy. Yeah,

1323
01:35:24.039 --> 01:35:35.279
I'm from the dirt. I'm from
the Middle America. Swirling Dad one,

1324
01:35:35.439 --> 01:35:40.479
kick your ass, love die bars, love those those those Miller high

1325
01:35:40.479 --> 01:35:46.319
Lives boy Lives. Turn based or
real time strategy one two three real time

1326
01:35:46.680 --> 01:35:51.279
turn base. I love real time
turn based games, but most of the

1327
01:35:51.319 --> 01:35:55.840
strategy games I play in real time, I always prefer turn based. I

1328
01:35:55.880 --> 01:35:59.319
like to have a good thinks before
I make my decision. I do not

1329
01:35:59.439 --> 01:36:05.159
like to be pressed, and I
like to enjoy turn based combat systems.

1330
01:36:06.159 --> 01:36:11.479
Mike Whennati's favorite apples or pears?
One two three apples apples, pears,

1331
01:36:11.520 --> 01:36:18.840
I think it's a hard one.
Like if I were to eat one after

1332
01:36:18.920 --> 01:36:23.399
a jog, I think it would
be an apple. But if I were

1333
01:36:23.439 --> 01:36:29.479
to turn some fruit into like a
dessert, for people and impress them.

1334
01:36:29.800 --> 01:36:33.199
I would probably pick pears. There's
no loser here. I prefer white wine.

1335
01:36:33.239 --> 01:36:40.159
It tastes similar to pears over apples. You said apple though, huh

1336
01:36:40.520 --> 01:36:43.560
you said, Oh, I know, I prefer the fruit apples over pears,

1337
01:36:43.600 --> 01:36:48.279
but I prefer like in terms of
white wine, fair hinting apples everywhere.

1338
01:36:48.439 --> 01:36:51.640
I think apple is like the favorite
child of fruit for some reason.

1339
01:36:51.720 --> 01:36:55.800
Like every time you get a juice
and it's like mixed juice and there's like

1340
01:36:55.920 --> 01:37:00.000
dragonfruit in here, it's like ninety
apple apples over taken the industry, the

1341
01:37:00.000 --> 01:37:04.359
fruit industry. It's just a little
overwhelming for me. I like the flavor

1342
01:37:04.399 --> 01:37:09.560
of pears better, but the texture
of apples better. Pears are they got

1343
01:37:09.560 --> 01:37:12.800
a little bit of grain to them. I just think that pears are like

1344
01:37:14.079 --> 01:37:16.439
the rooty of fruit, like they're
doing a really good job, and I

1345
01:37:16.439 --> 01:37:18.920
don't think they get enough credit.
I'm with you on that. Yeah,

1346
01:37:19.640 --> 01:37:25.840
it's an interesting pair for sure.
Mario or Zelda one two three mariolda,

1347
01:37:26.439 --> 01:37:30.720
Oh, I wasn't ready. I
have to think. I can't believe you

1348
01:37:30.720 --> 01:37:33.560
guys were able to make decisions about
that so quickly. They're both so valuable

1349
01:37:33.600 --> 01:37:40.960
for different reasons. I would oh
man, and like as a as an

1350
01:37:41.119 --> 01:37:44.760
entirety, or like which one I
would play right now? There's so many

1351
01:37:44.800 --> 01:37:51.279
different ways gone to your head.
Yeah, go Mario. You guys are

1352
01:37:51.279 --> 01:37:57.680
fucking heathens. I know I love
platformers. Yeah, me too. Finally,

1353
01:37:57.920 --> 01:38:03.359
beer or liquor one two three liquor
liquor. Beer is really good too.

1354
01:38:04.000 --> 01:38:09.159
And I used to say beer,
but in my older state, like

1355
01:38:09.399 --> 01:38:13.199
a vodka soda is just gonna it's
gonna work with me a lot better than

1356
01:38:13.279 --> 01:38:15.760
like five beers, which is so
heavy. It's just hard. It's just

1357
01:38:15.800 --> 01:38:18.439
hard. Yep, I'm with you. They're both great, but doing more

1358
01:38:18.439 --> 01:38:23.960
towards liquor these days. No losers
cocktails. Yeah, thank you Darien.

1359
01:38:24.479 --> 01:38:28.720
Yeah from Toronto. I should have
had you read this one, Dan,

1360
01:38:30.359 --> 01:38:32.239
Mary, you can read this one, but I guess the first paragraphs directed

1361
01:38:32.279 --> 01:38:39.119
at Dan, I mean, who
cares? Greetings Escaping Fire Team, Dan.

1362
01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:43.479
I was in the same position you
were when it came to fitness and

1363
01:38:43.600 --> 01:38:48.560
running. Accept instead of a marathon, I signed up for a tough mutter.

1364
01:38:49.479 --> 01:38:54.079
After listening to the last couple of
episodes and everyone mentioning that they wanted

1365
01:38:54.079 --> 01:38:58.680
to start running more and or exercise. I would highly recommend the group look

1366
01:38:58.760 --> 01:39:05.439
into one tough mutter free, prime
free finisher, beer free t shirts,

1367
01:39:05.840 --> 01:39:12.720
metals, and much more, three
five and ten plus mile distances, teamwork

1368
01:39:12.800 --> 01:39:17.760
oriented and no penalty or shame for
walking or skipping any obstacle. These events

1369
01:39:17.760 --> 01:39:21.439
have changed my life and kept me
in shape. It's an amazing community and

1370
01:39:21.520 --> 01:39:26.279
always a lot of fun. Speaking
of which, if you had to live

1371
01:39:26.359 --> 01:39:30.279
the rest of your life as a
physical food product, which would you want

1372
01:39:30.359 --> 01:39:34.880
to be? Kyle? What?
That took a bit of a serence speak.

1373
01:39:35.039 --> 01:39:40.479
You can't. You can't just say
speaking of which and that's that works?

1374
01:39:40.680 --> 01:39:47.840
Yeah, but a banana. I
want to let me let me think

1375
01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:49.920
about that. I'll touch on this
tough motter thing I've done that. I've

1376
01:39:49.920 --> 01:39:54.159
done a couple of ten K's not
the officual like tough mutter thing. It's

1377
01:39:54.239 --> 01:39:56.600
just the whatever they call it that
I've done. It's been a while,

1378
01:39:56.760 --> 01:39:58.319
but it's fun. Yeah, it's
just a bunch of like you know,

1379
01:39:58.359 --> 01:40:00.520
climbing ropes, climbing under barbed wire
ship. Uh, you get the beers

1380
01:40:00.520 --> 01:40:03.680
at the end, just your mess. They posey down afterwards, like yeah,

1381
01:40:03.760 --> 01:40:08.039
they're fine, they they're they're good, but yeah, yeah, I

1382
01:40:08.039 --> 01:40:11.600
could see myself in one of those
at some point. Uh food as a

1383
01:40:11.640 --> 01:40:14.640
physical food product, I think you'd
be a dip and stick, you know

1384
01:40:14.640 --> 01:40:16.079
what I'm talking about, where it's
like a thing that kids get in their

1385
01:40:16.159 --> 01:40:20.239
lunch box and it's like, uh, pretzels and then oh oh yes,

1386
01:40:20.760 --> 01:40:25.119
it's like really gross manufactured cheese.
No no, no no. I've had

1387
01:40:25.119 --> 01:40:28.680
ten thousand of those, and they
are I think God himself, Yeah,

1388
01:40:28.720 --> 01:40:34.720
I think that's you manufactured cheese product
on the go, thank you. Because

1389
01:40:34.720 --> 01:40:39.279
there are the pretzels, there are
like the actual crackers, there are different

1390
01:40:39.359 --> 01:40:45.279
kinds of cheese ones. They were
like, well the cheese ones are fucked

1391
01:40:45.359 --> 01:40:48.039
up because it's like it comes with
like they're they're spreading. Utensil is a

1392
01:40:48.079 --> 01:40:53.560
fucking just like red rectangles made of
plastic. It's like, and what fucking

1393
01:40:53.560 --> 01:40:57.319
world is this a knife or a
utensil for spreading? It's just a red

1394
01:40:57.359 --> 01:41:00.880
rectangle Like this sucks, Like I
love the components, I love the edible

1395
01:41:00.880 --> 01:41:05.000
pards, but make this easier on
my mummy. The hell were those called?

1396
01:41:05.680 --> 01:41:09.960
I remember dunker ruse, the sweet
versions. I never really had those

1397
01:41:10.760 --> 01:41:13.840
crack They were coveted when I was
growing up, but not as coveted as

1398
01:41:13.920 --> 01:41:16.800
Gusher's handy snacks. That's what they
were called. Oh handy snacks. Yeah,

1399
01:41:16.880 --> 01:41:20.239
yeah, totally. The pretzels were
my favorite. I would like to

1400
01:41:20.279 --> 01:41:31.239
think of myself as a popular snack
that people would enjoy. Now I'm paranoid.

1401
01:41:31.560 --> 01:41:40.880
You ruin this podcast for me.
My job to think of myself popular

1402
01:41:40.960 --> 01:41:46.039
snack. Damn it. I don't
sound like that. All I do such

1403
01:41:46.039 --> 01:41:48.760
a good marry that I could say
anything and you could just pretend it's Mary

1404
01:41:48.840 --> 01:41:53.199
Dan. Give me a line,
Give you a line. Yeah, give

1405
01:41:53.199 --> 01:41:55.399
me a line. I'll be merry
and you can snip it and it'll be

1406
01:41:55.399 --> 01:41:58.560
merry. In the future, I
could go for a handy snack. I

1407
01:41:58.600 --> 01:42:03.239
could go for a handy's back.
That is, you know, Mikey,

1408
01:42:03.800 --> 01:42:20.720
you're pretty pretty close. Dan is
right. Technology is ruined us. I

1409
01:42:20.760 --> 01:42:26.039
would be a banana. I would
be sick. I'm a handy stack.

1410
01:42:26.079 --> 01:42:31.159
I guess your cheese product. Sure, I have easy cheese. I'm a

1411
01:42:31.199 --> 01:42:38.399
sharp cheddar easy cheese. Can I
think that we should decide them for each

1412
01:42:38.399 --> 01:42:45.319
other. I think Mike is a
grapefruit because it's healthy, and healthy people

1413
01:42:45.439 --> 01:42:49.720
enjoy it, and people who like
think better of themselves enjoy it, and

1414
01:42:49.720 --> 01:42:54.159
everyone else is like, I'm not
eating that shit, what I think better?

1415
01:42:54.800 --> 01:43:03.600
Wait? Do what? People don't
like grapefruit? You're you're you're talking

1416
01:43:03.640 --> 01:43:06.479
about like people who are fasting and
all they have for breakfast is a half

1417
01:43:06.520 --> 01:43:12.119
grapefruit and like coffee. Yeah,
and they rave about it and it changes

1418
01:43:12.159 --> 01:43:14.279
lives and it's good for them.
I eat a lot of grapefruit, but

1419
01:43:14.279 --> 01:43:17.239
I don't like only eat grapefruit.
I've never I don't think I've ever been

1420
01:43:17.239 --> 01:43:23.199
in the same room as a grapefruit. Oh damn. Some of the best

1421
01:43:23.199 --> 01:43:27.479
cocktails have grapefruit. No, I've
tasted, I probably ingested grapefruit. I've

1422
01:43:27.560 --> 01:43:31.720
just never like just straight up fruit
room and there's a tube from the grapefruit

1423
01:43:31.880 --> 01:43:34.960
to you. Now it's like an
ingredient and a cocktail. I'm sure I've

1424
01:43:35.000 --> 01:43:39.079
drank, you know, fifty cocktails
with its. Like. I don't think

1425
01:43:39.079 --> 01:43:41.520
I've ever like looked at a thing
and been like, oh, I'm looking

1426
01:43:41.560 --> 01:43:48.279
at a grapefruit like as it comes, they look like they look like that,

1427
01:43:48.800 --> 01:43:54.199
like that sound the edit floor.
It never gets to come back.

1428
01:43:55.680 --> 01:43:59.840
I see them when they're in their
process, and Dan's looking at me.

1429
01:44:02.600 --> 01:44:05.159
I'd be a grapefruit. I love
grape It's one of my favorite flavors.

1430
01:44:06.399 --> 01:44:12.439
Great, I'm gonna Hemingway dakies.

very addictive, pleasant and the multi billion

1435
01:44:44.399 --> 01:44:50.600
dollar industry energizing and uh and you
know, like inspiration. I think you're

1436
01:44:50.640 --> 01:44:55.239
like those circus peanuts. Damn it, the big orange ones, you know,

1437
01:44:55.399 --> 01:45:00.920
like you know what I mean?
Dan is right, you not lose

1438

about what are you get me out of

1439
01:45:11.039 --> 01:45:16.680
this? Let's rate Dan? You
rate Mike. I'm disfusing Mike as a

1440
01:45:16.720 --> 01:45:20.720
person. Oh no, you're giving
him the rating of a food product.

1441
01:45:21.760 --> 01:45:25.680
What because I said he was a
grapefruit? What do you think Mike is?

1442
01:45:26.319 --> 01:45:32.079
Oh? U? Could you imagine
us fusing each other? Weird man,

1443
01:45:34.319 --> 01:45:38.600
He'd be some food that I've never
bought or eaten or thought of in

1444
01:45:38.640 --> 01:45:42.640
my life. It just be something
a very like specialty food thing that I

1445
01:45:42.640 --> 01:45:46.920
gets a grapefruit, let's go grape
fruit. I definitely forgot that you have

1446
01:45:47.039 --> 01:45:50.920
never thought of me in your life. No, I mean no, it

1447
01:45:50.920 --> 01:45:56.680
wouldn't the food. The food would
be a thing that would like I've never

1448
01:45:56.760 --> 01:46:00.560
heard of because it's like this a
very particular ingredient, is very specific thing

1449
01:46:00.960 --> 01:46:08.279
that is like celery cocktails last weekend, your clar Dan, your celery that
