I still play golf, all right. We had a Tournament of Champions

13
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.439

the Alamo Draft House in Irving.
That's over there off Los Colinas Boulevard.

24
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.159
Demolition Man is the film in question
here, and you can join Mike Rener,

25
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.280

27
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:15.080
Now coming up in just about thirty
minutes, we will have the morning news

28
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.439
and man, we've got a high
speed chase to discuss. We have a

29
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.879
Gretzky card that has gone up for
sale in a pack that is worth millions.

30
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:34.439
But more importantly, Disaster at Sea. That's perfect, but first this

31
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:49.520
Nope, the open the one that
I emailed you. That's the bed I

32
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:58.080
don't play for joke. No,
that was the return So that open is

33
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.400
the thing that I emailed you.
Drop Box the first one there it is.

34
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.800
That's right. It's time for the
brand news segments brought to you by

35
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.840
no one yet. I have one
place that might be a perfect sponsor for

36
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:45.560
this segment, called the Game Stop. But I don't know. It all

37
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.680
works together, doesn't it. Sorry, we talk about America's real national pastime,

38
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.680
video games. Not scared to do
it. I'm a big gamer.

39
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:57.080
We have multiple sections of this segment. It will end in a high speed

40
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.840
button mashing quizes between Danny and But
we'll start with new releases. I've told

41
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.439
you guys recently. See of Thieves
is a game I can't stop playing it,

42
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.759
and it's been around for probably four
years. This sounds like pirates.

43
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.319
It is pirates, and you know
I love pirates and I love I love

44
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.120
pirates, I love magicians, I
love Go Carton, and I love jumping

45
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.800
off stuff. Let pirates into your
house. You should not let pirates into

46
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.759
your house. The See of Thieves
Stagnettes Revenge coming out. There's no porno

47
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.279
like you like to watch in this
pirate themed game, but I absolutely love

48
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.120
it. It is massive and I
don't you know, let's just you guys

49
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.120
play. No, not at all, not see if thieves. But am

50
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:41.759
a mid level to below mid level
video gamer, not often, but it

51
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.639
is in the reports on what are
you currently rocking golf? No like what

52
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.519
four ps four? Yeah, Dinger
non existed in my life currently and it

53
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:56.519
hasn't been for quite some time.
I like playing, you know, if

54
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.680
I go to free play, I
like doing that on the rare occasion that

55
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.120
it gets do that. It bought
this stick about three or four years ago

56
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.639
that you can put in your TV
and it has like four thousand different old

57
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.000
Atari games and got real into Tetris
for a while playing on Tetris on the

58
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:18.000
big screen. But no, I
haven't played an actual real gaming system since

59
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:23.759
probably two thousand and three, so
about twenty years. I have a bunch

60
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.160
of statistics that will do in the
middle of the segment that I think each

61
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.959
of them are interesting to kick around
because the numbers are kind of astronomical about

62
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.759
how big the industry is, how
many people play, but we're all similar

63
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.720
enough humans. But I play a
lot of video games. You play some

64
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.759
video games. You play no video
games. I think we're good representation.

65
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.720
JJU game a little bit. What
do you got ps five? Okay,

66
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.759
what game you play most recently?
Oh? Recently? Man? Okay,

67
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.360
here she is good minute. We'll
get to that in one second. I

68
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.079
can't stop with Sea of Thieves pirate
game. The thing is, games nowadays

69
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.160
are massive, they are huge.
This is a pirate game where you go

70
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.240
and dig up booty, dig up
t you get treasure maps. You have

71
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.639
to find the island, dig it
up. You have to get it back

72
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.720
and sell it before some pirates come
and kill you or some other real players

73
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.439
just like us with a boat,
see your masts on the horizon and come

74
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.519
and get you. And you have
a cannon fight, and I can't stop.

75
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.639
Is there? Yes, there's a
cracking. There's also a megaladon and

76
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.279
you'll hear the music start and you're
like Jesus, here he is. You

77
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.000
have to try to just haul a
out of there, or fight it with

78
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.319
your cannons. You have regular cannonballs, you have magic cannon balls and start

79
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.639
fires and stop boats. A cannonball
that drops your anchor, you know,

80
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.000
so if you hit them, their
anchor immediately drops. It's it's high octane

81
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.759
fun. And I play with my
brother Cash, who's not much of a

82
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.800
gamer, but he loves this game
because it's not called of duty. You

83
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.399
you don't die instantly, and there's
not that learning curve where you play for

84
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.680
ten minutes You're like, I don't
want to do this. I'm dead.

85
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:55.639
All I am is dead. It's
a beautiful fun game. It sounds so

86
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.720
childish, and I am a child
and I'm like intrigued by it. Dude.

87
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.439
It will take you over twenty minutes
to get from one end of the

88
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.279
map to the other, maybe half
an hour if you're going the full length

89
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:09.800
the world is. And you'll see
some birds circling. You're like, that

90
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.079
means there's a sunken treasure there,
and you stop by the birds, dive

91
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.319
down into a sunken pirate ship and
start grabbing skulls and jewels out of it.

92
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.319
But the more you get the more
your boat lights up, so the

93
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:23.079
other boats You're like, that dude
is loaded with treasure. Let's go kill

94
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.480
him and steal it. All it
is so damn fun. Do they get

95
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.959
to do Pirates board your ship and
you have to fight them with sabers.

96
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.040
Yes, really absolutely. What about
handheld little muskets. Yeah, you have

97
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.480
a blunderbuss, which is like a
shotgun. You have a pistol, and

98
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.959
you have kind of a sniper rifle. You can go, Okay, if

99
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.000
you're attacking another boat, you can
load your teammate into the cannon and shoot

100
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.240
him onto the other Johnny Knoxville,
Yeah, just pop him on there out

101
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:50.199
of nowhere. Next thing, you
know, some other pirates on your boat

102
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:56.000
killing you. It's incredibly fun and
I love it. But this is the

103
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.879
new releases portion of the game.
Stop today, and we have a content

104
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.360
to the throne of pirate deep sea
supremacy. As a movie called a game

105
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.319
called Skull and Bones just came out. I haven't played it yet, and

106
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.720
I think I'm loyal to see you
thieves, and apparently it's getting not two

107
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.279
good reviews. It looks gorgeous,
the water, the islands, the trees.

108
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.680
I mean, it's you get lost
in these worlds, man, and

109
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.720
that will as we'll get into.
I think is the greatest value of these

110
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.639
games is Man, you don't have
many of the world's stresses when you're out

111
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.639
there at sea trying to chase the
winds and chase the horizon. But Skull

112
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.480
and Bones one review said, an
exceptionally boring live service shipping sim because essentially

113
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.159
you're just moving products around these massive
islands and it gets a little repetitive.

114
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.000
I haven't played Skull and Bone yet, but it just came out. It's

115
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.759
a hot game. Another hot game, but I can't play. It's a

116
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.159
PlayStation exclusive, and it's also on
PC, but it's not on Xbox,

117
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.039
which I have. It's called hell
Divers too. It's actually making a lot

118
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.919
of news, so this seems fun
because you are a hell Diver, the

119
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.360
brainwash protectors of super Earth. They
essentially turned Starship Troopers, the cult classic

120
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.679
movie into a video game where there's
all this like propaganda and where the hell

121
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.000
Divers. Again. I can't play
this one, But the cool thing here

122
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.200
is that operates on a live map. The map never stops, so if

123
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.720
I played right now, the game
would still be going on somewhere as we're

124
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.279
all. Everyone who drum drops in
is working together to fight off aliens and

125
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.120
trying to protect this super Earth.
Sounds really cool. I haven't played it,

126
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.639
as I said, but that's one
that's making a lot of news.

127
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:30.960
And I just tried to download it, but I found out that it is

128
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.720
only in a PlayStation exclusive, so
you could try Hell Divers if you like.

129
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.320
Yeah, and very few things are
like exclusive anymore. Yeah, when

130
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.039
they're making games, they're like,
we're getting it to all platforms. They

131
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.840
tend to blur it pretty quickly and
make it available for all anyway. Those

132
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.320
are two hot games that have just
come out, But the one that everyone

133
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.639
seems to be waiting for is was
a massive announcement not too long ago.

134
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:58.159
The EA Sports College Football is returning
after over ten years of being long gone.

135
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.600
So it's been college football's endorman for
ten years. For me. A

136
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.360
Sports exactly has no idea. Since
twenty thirteen, the game stopped in part

137
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.320
because of a lawsuit surrounding the nil
situation name image likeness at Obannon dammit.

138
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.320
Yeah, THEA Sports discontinued the game
and reached a settlement with the former college

139
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.600
football players who sued the company.
They'd all start with the O'Bannon brothers.

140
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:22.960
But then this weight began. I
mean, people were freaking out passionate about

141
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:24.639
this game. They love it.
I mean, you know how not so

142
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:30.840
college football guy is Oh my god, yes, so over ten years it's

143
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.000
been gone. I cannot wait.
Are you pumped for this? Is I

144
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.960
going to bring you back? Dope? Yeah? Still absolutely bring me back

145
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.559
because you can do these I mean
it's do you have to have a purpose

146
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.600
or at least for me, I
need a purpose to play these games.

147
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.240
If I just played and then it
means nothing, I guess it kind of

148
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.200
in the end does mean nothing anyways, but I'm playing it. You're like,

149
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.600
build something so I can take my
alum University of North Texas and build

150
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.480
them into a dynasty. Yeah,
and you start from scratch and you really

151
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.240
get there or and you can there's
like a recruiting element to it. Now.

152
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.840
It used to be just numbers.
Now they're giving players six hundred bucks

153
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:11.360
and a copy of the game,
and by accepting that they their name will

154
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.440
be in the game. So now, whoever the top quarterback, let's say

155
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.320
Deion sanders Son, you want to
play with the Colorado, You're playing with

156
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.440
Shad or Sanders You know next year, if he accepts the six hundred dollars

157
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.720
and the copy, that means he's
okay, because then an il thing has

158
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.519
gone through. They do have potential
for more lucrative and il opportunities, so

159
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.759
he probably would ask for more,
but you're run of the mill. Average

160
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.519
college player can get six hundred bucks
in a copy of the game, which

161
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.279
I would imagine most of them would
do it for free. Probably, yeah,

162
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.039
they'll do it for just copy of
the game. Outside of you know,

163
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.799
the off the field aspects, recruiting
and all of that. What's if

164
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.519
you already are playing Madden and you
like Madden, why would you want to

165
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:56.720
play What makes this different from the
gameplay of the Madden game? That's one.

166
00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.720
God, it is interesting. The
gameplay is a little bit different.

167
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.360
It overtime rules, I get,
it's like playing it though. It's always

168
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.799
felt different playing college to Madden.
And I don't even know how to explain

169
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.799
it. But the actual like plays
you're running and like throwing the pass and

170
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:13.159
catching, you know, like all
that is always felt different on college.

171
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.720
It's hard to describe. To a
point it took over it was better gameplay

172
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.279
than Madden at some point, like
that was in the nine to you know

173
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.200
thirteen, when it was no longer
around. College football became more fun to

174
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.679
play than Madden did. They're doing
this thing right though, then I guess

175
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.080
made the decision in or twenty one
to do this, so they've been working

176
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.120
on for a couple of years.
But these colleges are submitting hundreds of photos

177
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.360
of their stadiums, including like what
the seats look like, even like the

178
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.759
little areas within the stadium, like
I saw the Florida Gator one there's a

179
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.399
gatorhead and has the national trair.
I mean, just that little stuff feels

180
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.919
good when you're playing a game.
If you're a fan of the Gators where

181
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.159
the Longhorns are, oh, you
you get that whole vibe of the city

182
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.279
and the stadium and you're playing in
a place that you've been watching your whole

183
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.159
life. So it just feels different
than Madden. And maybe the loyalty factor

184
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.000
to these your universities will make it
widely popular too, because you think about

185
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.360
this, you know you were gonna
have love hate relationships with our pro teams

186
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.120
and there's certain times if your team
sucks, you kind of quit watching them.

187
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.440
But no't matter how bad you are, all at your at your sporting

188
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.240
college. If you're a lifer from
that, if you're an a a diehard

189
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.600
Aggie, you are watching every damn
Aggie game. If they're one and eleven.

190
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.240
Yep. And this is the thing, it's one hundred and thirty four

191
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.480
schools are gonna be so like there's
a you're included, like whatever college you

192
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.039
went to. If you have a
favorite college team, sometimes in the pro

193
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.320
and you know there's thirty two teams, you like, you're a fan of

194
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.600
that. And it's not that unique
to be a fan of a football team,

195
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:41.039
but it is that unique to be
a fan of I'll just use my

196
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:45.120
example again, the University of North
Texas. Sure, and you just take

197
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.440
it and you're seeing I don't know, just something about seeing Denton. Yeah,

198
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.720
you know you can see the stadium
or if you're a Texas Tech fan

199
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.600
and you can see Lubbock, and
the detail of the game is just it's

200
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.519
always been great. And then it
goes away and these people are like,

201
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.600
god, I missed that. And
the recruiting element, there's all these off

202
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.960
season you get to be in that
mode and they're gonna expand the playoffs and

203
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.960
have all this stuff. And it's
been gone for ten plus years. And

204
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.360
I think people who quit gaming are
going to get back in because of this.

205
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:15.440
Maybe they have dynasty and road to
glory modes dynasties where you take over

206
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.720
a college football program and you handle
recruiting and transfer portals and all that stuff,

207
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.279
and that's all juicy to a real
college football fan. Road to glory

208
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.559
involves guiding an individual player through their
college career. You make yourself, and

209
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:33.039
you make yourself and get recruited.
Yeah, and probably accept an il within

210
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.480
the game and they'll throw They usually
throw up an option three or four schools

211
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.240
you can choose from, and you
kind of like selector if you wanted to

212
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:45.159
go to Texas and they don't.
You don't like there's like a workout portion

213
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:46.360
and if you don't do well in
the workouts, then you don't get offered

214
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.559
to go to Texas. So you
have to go be good at an m

215
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.039
RICE and then transfer to Texas.
Yeah, Rice, for Rice to be

216
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.879
the good. Yeah, that really
would be the right play, they said.

217
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.759
They're just put a lot of work
in this in doing it right.

218
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.480
Sometimes receive over two hundred photos of
stadiums from schools down to what their seats

219
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.360
look like, along with trophies and
statues on campus for in game replication.

220
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.320
So if you watch a game in
Norman, you have the Heisman Park or

221
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:13.440
whatever it is with all the Heisman
winning statues, like I don't know this

222
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.600
stuff, you man, it really
is so it is. It's coming out

223
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.279
this summer, no date, and
you can run the Wishbone date. I'll

224
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.039
tell you I don't play video games
that much, and I'm efen stoked.

225
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.120
We're gonna zip through the boss level, which is our main discussion, essentially

226
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.519
me calling this our national pastime because
it's crazy every much. They're all stats,

227
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.039
but I think they all could lead
to conversation. We can zip through

228
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.720
any any part we want to do
it. But a lot of studies are

229
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.879
done on this, obviously, and
it's pretty easy to track. They know

230
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.320
how many people they got getting down
on it. Americans playing video games remain

231
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.840
super strong and doesn't compass players across
every demographic, gender, race, ethnicity,

232
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.559
and age four and five gamers eighty
percent over the age of eighteen,

233
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.799
because there are still even You're a
good example, Danny, because I know

234
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.919
you're not anti video games, but
you probably I would love to have the

235
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:07.919
time to incorporate this into my you
know, entertainment pool. What do you

236
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.679
think? Like, what are you
This stat about half forty six percent of

237
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.360
gamers are female. Wow, fifty
three percent male. I love that.

238
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.519
I love it too, but I
would have guessed closer to seventy five.

239
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.879
Twenty five too, but forty six
percent female. The average video game player

240
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.600
is thirty two years old, has
been playing video games for twenty one years.

241
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.000
So it is they get you on
it and you never leave it.

242
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.799
And I fall into that category.
I played my whole life. Now,

243
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.840
there's been ebbs and flows, but
man, I play every day now.

244
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.039
And then we get to the conversation
about the guilt associated with playing if you

245
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.399
are an adult. But there's plus
sides to this. Seventy six percent of

246
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.360
us parents play with their children,
okay, cool, and a lot of

247
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.240
them find it to be the one
thing that you know, they definitely see

248
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.799
eyed eye on. They both enjoy. It is considered quality time. And

249
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.840
to some older people that probably does
not feel right. You know, I

250
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.919
imagine, Mike, if you had
a twelve year old, you know,

251
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.200
you be playing video games? Yes? Cool? You know what's being a

252
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.039
good dad? Well no, I
would be sniping their head off from all

253
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:11.799
over the map. Yeah, but
just spending time. Yeah, yeah,

254
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.839
I'll tell you that. The reason
that I even went beyond because once I

255
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.039
left high school, it wasn't a
part of my life at all. Like

256
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.920
I played in the arcades in high
school, but after that I didn't play

257
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.880
games. The thing that got me
back into gaming and wanting to buy a

258
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.920
PS one was the fact that Josh, my oldest was, you know,

259
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:36.880
probably eight, nine, ten years
old around that time, and we saw

260
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.720
a commercial for EA. It was
EA or whatever, I can't remember the

261
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.799
company, whatever, Medal of honor, and we wanted to play that game.

262
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:45.960
So I bought a PS one and
we got a handful of games.

263
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:48.880
He and I played that thing every
day for what seemed like a year.

264
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.960
Yeah. Yeah, So I'm kind
of in a way looking forward to if

265
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:57.640
Malcolm ends up, you know,
showing interest in games in five or six,

266
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:00.559
seven years. It'll be a fun
thing for us to do together.

267
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.559
Yeah, and I will love it
because I am not anti game. I

268
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.960
think they're awesome. It probably is
a game. You imagine what they're gonna

269
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.720
look like when he's eleven. They
already car washed the game. Oh my

270
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.559
god, like you want wax,
I don't know, Yeah, let's wax

271
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.279
it. Yes, the undercarriage.
I think we have to sell the locations

272
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:23.240
off a Wrappa ho in order to
stay afloat car wash tycoon. Uh.

273
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.720
There are a lot of positives.
Eighty seven percent of players say video games

274
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:30.839
create accessible experience with people with different
physical abilities. I mean that. Hell,

275
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.920
I played with our buddy Justin who
has one leg, and I wasn't

276
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.960
joking, but I asked him,
we're out there running. I'm like,

277
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.119
did you ever get to feel like
does it it feel good that you're out

278
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.000
here running? And he laughs,
You know it didn't really mean it as

279
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.720
a joke, but yeah, he
can't. You know, he is in

280
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.519
a wheelchair. He probably feels some
level of freedom, There's no doubt,

281
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.519
you know how you think about that? Well, and for me, like

282
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.400
when I play, it feels good
to be doing something with your hands,

283
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.359
Like and if there's like a little
things that I have five minutes heero,

284
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.440
I'll pick up a guitar just doing
that, or if okay, I've got

285
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.519
fifteen to twenty minutes here, I'll
pick up video and like just playing.

286
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:11.839
I feel like I played eighteen holes
real quick at Riviera Boom. Other positives

287
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.200
say video games provide mental stimulation.
I don't think there's much argument there.

288
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.759
Stress relief over ninety percent, which
I one hundred percent agree with. I

289
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.559
believe lost in these worlds may be
killed too much time doing it. Eighty

290
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.920
eight percent say it improves cognitive skills, and all respondents agree that video games

291
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.880
or eighty one percent helped build problem
solving skills, teamwork, and collaboration skills.

292
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.079
I mean, it's kind of true
on all fronts. I mean,

293
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:41.200
we've got proven evidence that video game
video playing video games has translated to careers

294
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.359
for people that have nothing to do
with video games. When you talk about

295
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.160
the NASCAR guy, yeah yeah,
right, and then you in they're an

296
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.519
F one driver that did the same
thing, or they all complating the two

297
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.400
they all do simulators, but I
