00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.320
You know those the clapper you know
when you are in a movie and somebody

2
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:25.679
like is like, scene too,
take it. I was the clapper for

3
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:32.880
a movie and I was in a
I thought it would be faster and better

4
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.000
if I did it really quickly and
got the fuck out of the shot.

5
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.159
So I would be like I'd run
in and I'd go scene two, take

6
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.719
two, and I'd hit it and
run away. And they would be like,

7
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:48.920
the entire purpose of your job is
that we can sync the video to

8
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.920
the audio, so when you move, you are doing a bad job.

9
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.759
And I was like, it's my
first movie. Yeah, plus can also

10
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.560
like the editors need to see the
info on that because that helps them.

11
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.439
It's the has the clap an intern
And I was like, I'm helping.

12
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.439
I was so fast. I'm the
fastest clapper these fox I've ever seen.

13
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.079
And you think you were like signaling
when they could start the scene like a

14
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:22.239
director like action. I think I
thought that it was a requirement of film

15
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.560
to do it, maybe by some
kind of cosmic law, and the faster

16
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.640
I could do it and get out
of there, the faster they could do

17
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.560
their job. I was the fluffer
on some pretty high end productions. I

18
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.359
didn't understand that what the job even
was, and you want to go as

19
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.239
fast as possible with that one.
It was jarring. They gave me many

20
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:49.200
tools to accomplish my trade. And
those guys the best god damn fluffer I've

21
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:57.319
ever seen. Yeah, he thinks
he costs like five thousand dollars a day,

22
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.599
but he's the best god damn fluffer
I've ever seen, and we will

23
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.879
keep him. Would a bad smelling
fluffer be a good fluffer? I don't

24
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:13.000
want to smell bad things. I'm
trying to stay. It could be pharamond.

25
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.120
He smells like he smells like shit, but I'm really fucking hard.

26
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.919
But then you don't want to get
two arouse, so maybe it is good.

27
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.639
Do you not like getting two arouse? Is there a such thing?

28
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.280
I'm saying in that instance, you
don't want them to get too excited because

29
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.240
then they can't perform. They've already
done their thing. They don't want to

30
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.199
end the scene early. That's right, fashionals, just do it again,

31
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:43.759
have you I've a few years ago
did some extensive reading. Hu. I

32
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:51.199
didn't realize there are like implants where
there are like valves on the side of

33
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.599
your the base of your dick that
can like inject a small amount of viagra

34
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:01.759
into it when they needed that.
Porn stars what oh salve like a little

35
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.159
like metal kind of knob thing.
It's like the valve logo, but instead

36
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:08.199
of the back of the head,
it's just on your dick. Oh my

37
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:14.199
god. Yeah, it's but smaller. I think it could have been some

38
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:15.919
false information. It was in the
comment It was it was in the comments,

39
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.000
you know, like I was like, what's her name? Did you

40
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.960
know there are metal valves on balls? Sometimes it makes I can't really confirm

41
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:28.039
nor deny. I think you went
down a weird back alley internet rabbit hole

42
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.639
and you should get out of there. I was looking up. I was

43
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:39.080
looking up at the Barbie porn and
then I stumbled across that. Can we

44
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.800
talk about that movie? Right?
Yeah? That movie is really funny.

45
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:49.240
It's very good. Barbie. Welcome
to fires Gap this episode sixty three,

46
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.719
sixty two, sixty two. I
think we're bad. Yeah, Dan,

47
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:58.159
you're in a new locale. I
am. I'm getting back to full force

48
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:03.319
in terms of computers and games and
internet and everything and comfort and it's good.

49
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:08.360
Been months in the making, but
I'm getting settled. Mary, You're

50
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.879
in the same house. It's not
as exciting. This isn't exciting at all.

51
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.240
This is the same house that I've
always been in. Your room is

52
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.879
the same too. I don't even
think. I don't even think you've moved

53
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:23.120
stuff around. I've like moved furniture. You just put a chair behind you.

54
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.519
You didn't move And a piano?
What for what purpose? What were

55
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.079
you doing? Were you streaming some
music? I uh streamed a game with

56
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.600
my mother and I needed a seat
for her. Frog detective, What does

57
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:42.319
it have to do with the piano? That is a separate item. What

58
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.600
were you doing with the piano?
I was trying to learn how to play

59
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:55.240
Peaches the Bowser song. What's your
address? Not fool me once? You

60
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.920
plenty of Every time I asked Mary's
address to like ship her fire escapes or

61
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:08.959
just potentially plan out game of the
Year stuff or send any number of correspondences

62
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.199
to every time, she just liked
it. Sends back a dot dot dot

63
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.480
dot dot dot dot and like it's
for like fire escape. She's like,

64
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.279
I don't know that I like you
having my address. It happens every time.

65
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.399
It's been like eight times. Now
I know and you definitely have it,

66
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.639
which means you forget my address,
asked me for it. And then

67
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.759
I get suspicious all over again.
I do, well, you, yeah,

68
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.319
I don't I lose it. Yeah, it's but it's I've committed to

69
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:40.160
memory this time. I had a
wonderful first encounter with the neighbor while I

70
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.639
was here. I was two days
into living here, and I was putting

71
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.839
up like security cameras around the house, and so I'm either with a drill

72
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.199
and so I'm just walking around with
a drill. I'm on the side of

73
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.879
my house. I'm probably like,
you know, ten feet from the property

74
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.759
line of my neighbor who I've not
met her yet. So I'm up there,

75
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.560
I'm putting a drill, you know. I get down and then I

76
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.000
look and there's two huge dogs that
are just like there's no fence, there's

77
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.360
no fence in between. I've never
met these dogs. I don't know if

78
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.720
these are nice dogs. I get
along with dogs very well, but some

79
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.720
dogs are mean. And so I
just stop and I freeze, and I

80
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.199
look at these two dogs and I
start to try to like walk back to

81
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:16.480
the house. But then I'm like
no, no, no, no,

82
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:18.800
no. I don't want them to
think I'm scared. If they're mean,

83
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.160
they might attack and come after me
if I turn my back to him.

84
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.560
So I turn the drill in my
hand and I just stop, and I

85
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.680
just am staring there at these two
dogs are like probably twenty five feet away,

86
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.920
no fence in between. And then
one of them just starts shitting and

87
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.759
like standing or did he know?
He starts getting into the thing. He's

88
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.480
getting into his a little stance,
and I'm not moving, I'm not I'm

89
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.920
standing my ground here staring at him. You just fall on eye contact with

90
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.079
this huge dog while he's shitting,
and I'm just like, I'm not breaking

91
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.120
eye contact here. And then he
kind of stops and I go to walk

92
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.600
away, and then I look up
and I realize his owner, the woman

93
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.199
that lives next to me, was
right there looking at me and probably like

94
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.120
waved or something, and I didn't
notice because I'm just staring at her dog

95
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:09.319
shitting. And then I walked away
the drill like I've still not met her.

96
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.279
So I bet, oh, yeah, the guy holding a drill to

97
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:18.800
just stared at my dog shitting and
blinking. Wait when you notice she was

98
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.319
there? Why didn't you turn around
and then get the second. The second

99
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.040
I looked up and I noticed her, she was turning to go back into

100
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.040
her house, so I would have
been like, oh, hey, how's

101
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.319
it going. But instead it just
looked like, as far as she knows,

102
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.120
I probably saw her too, and
I was like, no, I

103
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.959
need to stare at this. It
is one of the most confusing me.

104
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:43.480
What's the opposite of a meat cute
for neighbors? A meat meat When you

105
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.399
say to bring this up, I
need to bring this up when I meet

106
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.040
her for real and just be like, listen, I wasn't just staring at

107
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.519
your dog shitting. Yeah, I
wouldn't bring it up like that. It

108
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:59.040
might make it more awkward, Yeah, bury it keepecially, the right course

109
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.079
of action is that that didn't occur, and you've never seen her in your

110
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:09.079
life. I feel like that's weirder
because it's like she thinks I saw her,

111
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.079
and I was like, I'm not
even gonna acknowledge this woman. I'm

112
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.920
just staring at this shitting dog.
But let's say, like, statistically,

113
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.759
what are the odds that that's something
that she thought about and thinks about and

114
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.680
is like put effort into If she
hasn't and you bring it up. Now

115
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:30.079
you're the weirdo that stared at her
dog shitting and then thought about it and

116
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.159
made sure to bring it up again
and say, just you know, I'm

117
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.000
not a weirdo and I don't like
get off on dogs pooping. I just

118
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.399
it was just a situation. Like
you're putting thoughts in her head, is

119
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.960
what I'm saying. Dad and Dan, we both love you and I and

120
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.200
I think you're very good in many
social situations. I will say, I'm

121
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:58.960
willing to bet you probably think about
everything more than Shebably she's not considered this.

122
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.039
I okay, I think you're overthinking. And I think next time you

123
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.120
see her and be like, oh, yeah, I met your dog,

124
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.919
like just say it jokingly in a
way that maybe here's how the old tests.

125
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.480
Now you brought it in a way
that you don't reveal that you knew

126
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.039
she was there, and be like, oh, I was setting up with

127
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.919
cameras and I met met your boys
the other day, that you're your dogs,

128
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.600
And then like I wasn't sure if
they were gonna if they were friendly

129
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.600
or not, but we got off
to a good start. I think be

130
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.639
friendly. Well. I came in
and told bonk the story and she was

131
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.480
cracking up, and she was saying
like, oh my god, I get

132
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.519
to meet them and I get to
bring this up, and it's like,

133
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.440
oh, look, maybe that's a
way that like the flects from me being

134
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:37.240
a weird eye. I think I
present you both as weird. Talk about

135
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.639
why I was looking at your dogs. I don't know if I agree with

136
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.399
me. They don't know that you
are both setting yourselves up to be the

137
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.039
first thing that they will learn about
you. And you know how, like

138
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.039
the first time you introduce yourself to
someone, it's kind of stuck in your

139
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.759
head. The first words. Mike
knows this better than anyone. The first

140
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.559
words that someone says to you can
inevitably be the words that make you judge

141
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.360
that person and forever. If they
say something stupid enough. If the first

142
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.200
words you say to them is is
I wasn't staring at your dog pooping,

143
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:11.759
That's all they'll think about. I
was only watching him poop because I was

144
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.879
afraid of them. Is that the
first thing. I think you're in a

145
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.480
bit of a bubble in the sense
that you hang out with only weird people

146
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.120
who find conversations like that normal.
It's like a Ben. If you luck

147
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:30.879
out, maybe the next door neighbors
are like Ben Hansen and they will hear

148
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:37.440
exactly what I thought happened. But
odds are they're probably just nice people who

149
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.480
are not thinking about this or talking
about it on a podcast right now,

150
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.600
and either you or your wife bringing
it up is probably gonna like inception them

151
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.360
into thinking you are a weirdo who
gets off when watching dogs take dumps.

152
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.000
I would just be like, Oh, I met your dogs the other day.

153
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.960
They seem super nice. I was, I was. I love dogs,

154
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:56.240
but I was a bit of I'm
telling you, I wasn't sure if

155
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.360
they are being friendly or not.
But uh, I think we got off

156
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.639
to a good start. I don't
know something place. I'm mister full disclosure.

157
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:09.960
I mister we are. We aren't
denying. We're saying you're gonna fuck

158
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.840
up your intro. I told I
think I told you guys this. You

159
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.240
know Caro from Game Spot. She
told me a story once where there was

160
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.200
like a Christmas or like a holiday
gathering and they were all hanging out with

161
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:26.840
like as a group downstairs, and
the younger, a younger girl came down

162
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:33.919
the stairs, walked into the group
of people and said I'm not pooping and

163
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.000
everyone was like, well, yeah, ye are, definitely are. What

164
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:43.200
why did she say him? Because
she was fucking pooping and she was trying

165
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.960
to like make it sound like maybe
she wasn't by proclaiming loudly in front of

166
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:54.919
a hoole living room that she wasn't. So he who's if you smelted situation?

167
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.799
And so you saying like, I'm
not like a weirdo for like watching

168
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.519
your dog shit, They're gonna be
like, that's the weirdo neighbor that was

169
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:09.039
watching our dog shit, Like,
don't don't accept something into their brains that

170
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.600
you don't want in there. And
I think, I think, yes,

171
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.720
if I was that neighbor, or
that neighbor's husband, or that neighbor like

172
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:22.480
their roommate, whatever, the situation
over is over there, and the first

173
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.840
time we meet, you tell me
that story, I personally would find that

174
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:30.159
hilarious and it would definitely endear me
to you. But however, but a

175
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.279
normal person, you need to assume
these people are normal. You can't assume

176
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.080
they're like a Mike Mahrdy, Mary
Kish, Ben Hanson, Tim Terry.

177
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.360
These are normies. You assume normis
and Normis don't want to even know that

178
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.360
they're dog poops. When I walk
my dog and my dog poops every day,

179
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:52.159
I don't make a thing out of
it. We don't look people in

180
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.679
the eye and be like, I'm
so sorry my dog is pooping. We

181
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.960
ignore it and we pick it up
and we move on with our lives.

182
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.080
But it's absolutely not its topic of
conversation, and it will make way more

183
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.440
of an impact if the first five
minutes you're actually conversing with her, you're

184
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:11.279
totally normal and funny and charming.
Okay, say another intro. That's normal,

185
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.200
give me, give me something else. No, No, she'll when

186
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:15.879
she talks to you for five minutes
realizes you're normal, she'll think back and

187
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.679
be like even if she even if
she did think something weird happened, if

188
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:22.279
you are just talking her and she
like you. Do you think Banto two

189
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.679
is overrated? Yeah? Try again, try again, Do give me another

190
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.159
one, keep going, get all
the bad ones out. This is a

191
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:33.759
good idea. Can I do anything
about Banjo TWOI no, unless you find

192
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.639
out she's into it. But again, you gotta feel that out. She

193
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.320
was wearing a Banjo Twoe shirt when
she was in the back with the dogs.

194
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.080
Yeah she's wearing I think I'll just
do the normal stuff. Like I

195
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.440
think, are we in a weirdo
bubble where it's like because we work in

196
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.000
this weird industry than most of the
people we know. Like I think most

197
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.240
people I know are pretty eccentric and
weird in their own ways. We are

198
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.200
we are. I don't think it's
the industry we are weird. I think

199
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.600
every single human being is weird.
And I think every buddy who has a

200
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:05.039
close group of friends knows they're all
weird. I think you need to assume

201
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:11.759
that these people are normal. Don't
get weird with them until like the fourth

202
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.000
time you're hanging out. They have
to be weird first, let them let

203
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.600
the feet all right, new intro, Oh, bring bring your dogs out,

204
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.480
have them shit, Oh okay,
when she hold up gizmo until he

205
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:31.720
shitsu, bring gizmo out, stand
out front of their window, let the

206
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:37.879
shit right, and then that way
it's like mutually assured destruction. You can't

207
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:43.919
both press the new button because you
both you both saw each other's dog shit,

208
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.600
so you can never bring them up
again. And they're just look at

209
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.000
them through the window. Point yeah, dude, it's Bay of Pigs.

210
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.279
Like really, the people say it's
the closest become nuclear war. I think

211
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.919
it's the farthest. No, that's
like some Michael Myers ship. No,

212
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.759
let's talk No, let's talk about
the Bay of Pigs. It's been long

213
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:05.360
over do on this podcast. That
was a candidate thing. Yeah, is

214
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.759
that the missiles? Was that the
same as the Cuban missile crisis? Uh?

215
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.879
Same time period? Ish? Okay, it was about cold war nuclear

216
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.159
fears. Correct, I was talking
more about the Cuban missile crisis. But

217
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.200
Bay of Pigs is funny or sounding? Okay, sure? Sure, But

218
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.000
neighbors in general are they? Do
they seem cool or so far? Well?

219
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.919
I mean because yeah, when in
Connecticut it was fucking like we tried,

220
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.519
we tried hard to meet everyone far
away. What's that Your neighbors in

221
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:43.320
your old house not crazy far away? See them through your They never really

222
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.799
left their house. They weren't social. They were like anti social people.

223
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.399
And like I feel like in the
first like three days, I will I'm

224
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.840
riding my bike around a lot,
so like I'm getting out there a lot

225
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.720
and meeting people, and I'm making
a point of like anytime I see someone

226
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.679
in their garage you're walking around,
I waved and I'm like, hey,

227
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.759
I'm your new neighbor. And I've
been talking everyone and like, yeah,

228
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.679
everyone's been great. It's been soda. People are probably generally pretty kind,

229
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:10.799
right or nice. Yes, it's
ensuring when your neighbors are nice to you.

230
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:15.399
And I got this house. I
made a judgment. My neighbor came

231
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:22.120
outside. Uh, and he is
a big guy, you know. Uh,

232
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:30.120
he's a large man, pretty intimidating
looking, shaved head all the way

233
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:36.799
down. And when he was walking
around, he wears them hard describe he

234
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:44.000
wears them definitely like metal shirts.
He's wearing a Cannibal corpse shirt and like,

235
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.639
uh, those shorts that are like
really long, like where they like

236
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:53.440
almost touch your like shins, those
like long shorts. And me, I

237
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:59.320
was like thinking to myself, what's
this dude gonna be? Like? You

238
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.720
know, who knows? Is he
gonna be cool? And he came over

239
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:08.720
and immediately was just like, hey, neighbor, you like beer? And

240
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.960
I was like, I love beer
and he was like, I really like

241
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.119
the darkest beers that you can find, stouts, what do you think?

242
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.559
And I okay, I don't actually
really like stouts, and I was like,

243
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:23.039
I'm down for anything, and he
was like, I'm gonna go get

244
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.359
two stouts and I'm coming over.
And I was like, you got it,

245
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:30.440
neighbor. And he went and got
his like darkest stouts because that's what

246
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:32.920
he likes to drink. He brought
it over and we cracked a beer and

247
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.240
we talked about metal and he was
great, and he was super polite,

248
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.440
and we get along really well.
In fact, we've gone to a couple

249
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.480
of shows together since then, and
every once in a while he brings over

250
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:51.160
a stout. My only regret was
telling him that I was really in a

251
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.920
stout because he keeps bringing it over
now forever. Your stout was Dan's drill

252
00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.359
poop see like that impression that I
didn't. I didn't want to say something

253
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.839
rude because he was like, you
like stout. He said it in a

254
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.160
way where I knew he was going
to give me one, and so I

255
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.000
just wanted to be like, yeah, who doesn't like you know, beer,

256
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:12.680
and I will drink a stout.
I absolutely will drink a stout if

257
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.640
I first choice, though it's not
it's not the thing I go to,

258
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.440
but I will drink it anyway.
That's like apparently like all this dude drinks,

259
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.839
so you just hid this day he
comes over and brings one over.

260
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:29.359
You just described when Gerald Ford moved
in next to Homer after Georgia Bush left,

261
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:30.799
Like, hello, Homer, do
you like nachos? Do you like

262
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:36.119
football? Why don't you come over
and yeah, have nachos and watch football

263
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:40.359
at my house. Yeah, they
just slow down what they say when you're

264
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:45.039
a president, you just talk like
this. You mentioned Cannibal Corpse and I

265
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.279
haven't thought of them in a while, and it's my only memory of them

266
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.319
is I realized I was such a
prude growing up that I'm I'd go to

267
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.240
bed bye and be looking through like
CDs or maybe can cassettes at the time,

268
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.920
and the art on Cannibal Corpse covers
was always just incredibly gruesome and like

269
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.319
theory, and I would turn it
around and like I would look at like

270
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.319
the song tiles. Remember one of
them was like I come blood or something,

271
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.640
and it's all just like you know, Hamster murder Blender. You know,

272
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.519
it's just like the most like shocking
violence stuff ever. And I would

273
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.359
see stuff like that, or even
when I saw like Metallica had an album

274
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.720
called kill Them All. I'd just
like, you shouldn't be able to you

275
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.920
can't just talk about the same thing. It was like hearing like Snoop Dogg

276
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.440
talk about smoking weed on wraps,
like you can't just stick You're just admitting

277
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.119
to break the law. Here Metallica
is just talking about murder cannibal Corps is

278
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:36.519
like, no, they locked them
up like that were young. That's like

279
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.119
that was just how you were raised
when you were young. Oh that's my

280
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.480
grandpa talking. Yeah, that's like
our parents inside of us, right,

281
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:51.599
like what's up with these you know, youths and these parents. Freak of

282
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.599
Kansas. Back then to my according
to my grandpa was Garth Brooks was getting

283
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.240
big in the nineties and new Usic
Danny, you ever see this Garth Brooks

284
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:00.680
joker? Yeah, it was like, yeah, yeah, he's huge.

285
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:04.079
Now. I saw him on TV
the other day. He's swinging on Ropes.

286
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:10.200
He had smoke shooting into this guy
Ropes. Brooks is like the most

287
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:18.799
dame guy by comparison. Your grandpa
him up when I was when was this

288
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:23.920
happen? Like nineties? I remember
growing up my uh Dave Matthews band was

289
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:30.319
really popular and their song Crash Into
Me was really hitting the airwaves, and

290
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.960
every time it came on, my
stepmom was like, I just do not

291
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:41.240
like these songs because we know exactly
what he's talking about. It's just like

292
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.200
every song is about banging, like
you can't get out of that. Every

293
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.319
song is about having sex. And
even in like modern songs, they're just

294
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:55.119
saying like I love fucking and like
that's the lyrics. At least back then

295
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.480
they were like, you know,
there's some kind of illusion of what's going

296
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:02.000
on. Who knows what they're talking
talking about. My grandma would get upset

297
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:04.400
when my dad would listen to Tom
Petty's Don't Do Me Like That, which

298
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:08.039
is not a sexual song, and
Grandma be like, I know what he's

299
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:15.559
talking about. Paul, you know, knt a fucking sweater for he had

300
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.599
that famous Fara Faucet poster with the
red the red swimsuit swimsuit. She knitted

301
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:27.400
a fucking real ass sweater and push
pinned it over Fara Faucet's body. Because

302
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:37.119
of the Lord. That only makes
men and women horn hear more you the

303
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.119
more you like cover that type of
stuff up. I feel like the more

304
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.559
the deep recesses of our minds are
like, I'm going to be such a

305
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:49.599
freak now because you hid this from
me, Like, oh, I bet

306
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.680
Fara faucets super gross underneath that sweater, Like I don't think. No,

307
00:21:53.880 --> 00:22:00.559
my my imagination is running rampant when
I see a hot pick in a loose

308
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:07.920
sweater. You know what movie?
If they had seen it, I would

309
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.079
not have been able to watch when
I was young, the whole little diddy

310
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:17.960
called Roadhouse that I finally watched for
the first time two days ago. Yeah,

311
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.720
so I I'm pretty sure we've talked
on this podcast about Roadhouse before,

312
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:27.960
and I claim to have seen it. However, you know correct. I

313
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.240
think what was happening was I was
just confusing it with what's the Tom Cruise

314
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.720
Bartending movie? Oh, Cocktail?
Is that it? I think I was

315
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.480
confusing with Cocktail. I love the
idea of you being like, no,

316
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:47.680
I'm pretty sure that there's another Tom
Cruise Bartending movie. Yeah, cocktail.

317
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:49.640
I think I thought because I've seen
Cocktail, so maybe I thought you were

318
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:55.720
talking about Cocktail. However, Amanda
found out last Friday that I had not

319
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:57.400
seen Roadhouse. She's like, we're
watching this Sunday night when we're not doing

320
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:04.119
anything. I don't think I've ever
gone from all right, I haven't seen

321
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.519
this thing before. I probably it'll
be fine too. This might be one

322
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.839
of the best things ever made in
my lifetime, in this or not even

323
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.920
in my lifetime, before my lifetime, before I was around. This movie

324
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.279
makes for a decade, and this
never came up. It is like the

325
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.319
most Mike Marty, It's like that
documentary of your life. It really is.

326
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.359
Is like how you never seen Roadhouds
Like she's not shaming me, but

327
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.079
she's like, like I would have
assumed this movie shaped your personality growing up.

328
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:37.039
And the whole time I was just
like, this guy's cool, yea,

329
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.160
This Dalton guys like the coolest I've
ever seen in my life. And

330
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.640
then Wade Garrett comes along, fucking
uh Sam Elliot at the height of his

331
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:49.000
masculinity, even with that limp.
The limp makes him hotter. And then

332
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.079
fucking the dude with what's was it, guy Terry Funk? Because Terry Funk,

333
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:57.319
a legendary wrestler, is a big
role in that. Oh yeah,

334
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:00.160
okay, so that's what was I
told Amanda. Fuck was his name?

335
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.000
He was the bouncer when he first
shows up the bars, like you don't

336
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.200
have the temperament for this job,
man, and then he kicks him out.

337
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.000
And then the guy who's skimming,
and I've seen the gift where the

338
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.039
guy's shooting the shotgun and like bending
his knee and having fun with it.

339
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.799
Yeah, yeah, And I finally
saw the context for that, And by

340
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:21.839
that point I was a bit like
expecting anything because I'm pretty sure mcgruber took

341
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.559
the whole throat ripping thing from Roadhouse, and I didn't know that. Yeah,

342
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:27.759
of course, yeah, like he
does it once in Roadhouse and it

343
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:36.880
becomes just the whole basis because I, okay, they set it up like

344
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:41.119
actually sort of believably in Roadhouse.
I didn't even know the premise of Roadhouse.

345
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:42.039
Amanda, while we were making dinner, was like, do you want

346
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.920
to know like the bearer context.
I'm like, I guess some context would

347
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:51.799
help. She's like, he's like
a famous bouncer across the Midwest, not

348
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.240
just a bouncer, but goes to
like revamp bars and like bars, hiring

349
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:56.920
for a lot of money to come
clean them up, clean them up.

350
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.720
And I'm like, all right,
that sounds pretty cool. I'll still reserve

351
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:06.240
my judgment though, because I've never
seen this before. And Swayze finally saunters

352
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.359
into this place and I'm like,
all right, well, hey, this

353
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:12.039
is the coolest guy I've ever seen
in my life. And the craziest fucking

354
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:17.920
bar is this when the blind pianist
is playing and there's just ns flying in

355
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:19.880
the chicken wire and all that.
Yeah, it's he's playing guitar on his

356
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:25.680
lap. He's an actual blues guitarist
and he's playing and I was watching him.

357
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:27.599
I'm like, I think, is
he blind? And Mags like just

358
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:32.480
watched trust me. They address there's
there's no everything in this movie is a

359
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:37.640
Tchekhov's gun. He's like, all
right to that point, like twenty seconds

360
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.119
after they introduced the blind guitarists,
who then, of course, hey,

361
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.519
that's the coolest thing ever that he's
playing on his lap. Also these like

362
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.720
solos. Turns out he knows Dalton, which, of course, because they're

363
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:51.319
the two coolest guys in the world, so they know each other. And

364
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.559
then you find out later there's a
guy who sees music. Is that Dalton?

365
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.480
He's like, I heard that guy
in Tennessee pulled a gun on him,

366
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:00.279
and he ripped his throat out,
and the other guy was like,

367
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.000
no way. And then it just
moves on and you forget about that until

368
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.960
an hour later when this dude pulls
a gun on him and he roundhouse kicks

369
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.680
his hand with a gun on it
and then pins his arm behind him and

370
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.440
rips his throat out and then throws
him in the river. And then he

371
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:22.200
could really do that, and then
shouts this, He's the best movie ever

372
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.079
made. He shouts to the crime
lord across the river, whose bodyguard he

373
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:32.680
just murdered by rivers thrown out,
oh his name. He's like, hey,

374
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:37.960
Wilson, fuck you, and then
just like throws his dead bodyguard back

375
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.759
at him to float across the river
with his juggular missing back to the body.

376
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:44.680
I was like, this is the
best thing like humans have ever made.

377
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.440
In the same spot he was doing
like shirtless ti Chi like that morning.

378
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.480
That was the first I knew it
had a reputation. I knew enough

379
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:55.240
to know it had a reputation for
being a bit like It's funny. We

380
00:26:55.279 --> 00:27:00.720
talked about Mission Impossible too, like
corny yet ernest, but also just in

381
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.519
general like it is very much a
movie that I could see, uh,

382
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:10.039
like Mac from It's always Sunny,
being very into like that's his idea of

383
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:15.519
masculinity and badassery. And the more
I watched it, the more. When

384
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:21.559
Doc goes to staple him up when
he gets cut on his ribs, pain

385
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:23.960
don't hurt. Yeah, she's like
yeah, She's like, I'm gonna give

386
00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.000
you local. He's like, no
thanks, and she's like she's like,

387
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:30.359
are you sure. He's like,
pain, don't hurt, and then she's

388
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:37.400
staples and he's like he don't hurt. Like and every scene as well,

389
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.880
there's like really no scenes where he's
not fully flexed. Even when he's like

390
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.039
opening a door, he's like,
you guys need to go in here.

391
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:51.720
He's just constantly looking like ripped as
and then the sex scene between him and

392
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:56.359
Doc on the roof of the barn, it's like, it's kind of I

393
00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:59.720
don't know if romantic's the right word, but yeah, I was, you

394
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.920
know, let's just say I didn't
need a fluffer. And then you find

395
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:07.680
out later that he was doing it
right across the river from the dude who

396
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:10.480
used to be obsessed with that girl, in full view of him, which

397
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:15.039
makes it even funnier. He just
fuck this girl that this guy was obsessed

398
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:19.160
with across like in full the roof
is extremely well lit. It's like studio

399
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:23.079
lit, porn lit. And he's
just having sex with her across from the

400
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.960
river from this man who was like
creepy obsessed with her, which is just

401
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.640
even more like funnier, I guess. So I think, almost like on

402
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:36.799
a yearly basis, Bill Murray and
his brother and their friends watch this movie

403
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.160
and they are friends with the guy
who either is married to or was married

404
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:44.559
to doc that woman you don't know. So whenever it gets when it gets

405
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:47.240
that sex scene, call I was
like, hey, yeah, we're watching

406
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:48.960
you know, Patrick's yzeup sex with
their wife right now. It's in the

407
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:52.519
Charlotte episode. So the reason we
watched it because Amanda and I've been watching

408
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.839
Parts Unknown and in the Charlotte episode
of Parts Unown with Anthony Bourdain, which

409
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.720
is one of my favorite episodes,
Bill Murray lives in Charleston, Sorry,

410
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:06.240
Charleston episode Bill Murray lives there.
He went out to dinner with Anthony Bourdain

411
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.799
and Sean Brock, the chef,
and Bill Murray told the story, He's

412
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:14.319
like, so, my friend is
married to the woman who played Doc,

413
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.240
and anytime we watched the movie,
we call him up and say, hey,

414
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.160
you don't know me, but your
wife's getting pushed up against the wall

415
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:25.359
by Patrick Swayze and she's not putting
up much. She's not putting up much

416
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:30.880
of a fight. That's right.
It's ah yeah, that movie is incredible.

417
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.839
I cannot believe it has never come
up. And because that is one

418
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:37.400
of those movies and this has happened
with this Mike where it's like we'll be

419
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.240
out of the bar started with Terminator
two. Yeah, exactly, and it's

420
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.400
like we are either like we're fashioning
a night around this or we are leaving

421
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.319
the bar right fucking now and we're
going to go watch this. Oh I

422
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:52.599
want to watch this, like potentially
watch party around Game of the Year.

423
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:56.920
Oh yeah, yeah, that'd be
great. Like he that movie encompasses what

424
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.839
we I was envisioning as Fire Escapes
Vibe when we first we're talking about it,

425
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.799
I can't believe I've never seen it
before. Also, the final line

426
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:11.440
being a polar bear fell on me. Oh yeah, that's also that was

427
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:17.119
when I like lost my ship and
almost had to pause the movie because Wilson

428
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:19.000
or Wade, No, Wade's the
cool guy Wilson wherever his name is.

429
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:22.200
It's like, pulls the gun on
Dalton, it's about to kill him.

430
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:26.240
All of a sudden, out of
nowhere, as I put it, the

431
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.880
Coalition for Old Men with Shotguns appears
in the room and starts hosing him,

432
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:33.759
and I was just losing. It
was like, where'd they come from?

433
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.519
Why were they not here before?
Like, yeah, the polar Bear scene

434
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.880
was very it was very funny.
I also like Wade Garrett's line after dancing

435
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:48.200
with Doc. He's like that woman
has entirely too many brains to have an

436
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:56.279
ass like that or something. Sam
Elliott's character and this was was It was

437
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.279
really good. It moves too It's
over before you know it. Oh god,

438
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:04.160
far too soon. There's this technically
a sequel. I think it's one

439
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.640
of those like shitty you know,
just DVD houses that like somehow gets the

440
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.200
license of stuff and fire sales and
makes like, oh, here's Roadhouse two

441
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:14.720
or eight millimeters two. The fuck? I didn't know there's a sequel of

442
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:19.079
that. Yeah, it. I
really had no idea what I was getting

443
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:26.480
into. But the fucking pool Q
scene when what's the guy's name, Larry,

444
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.000
the guy who he rips the guy
who's throaty rips out. When they

445
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.240
first introduce how much of a badass
he is, he goes out of the

446
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:37.839
dance floor of the pool que and
does like the the kung Fu come here

447
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:41.599
o and then just starts fighting everybody. And of course that's when the rivalry

448
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.920
between Dalton and him starts. And
I like, I didn't know that Dalton

449
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.839
was eventually going to rip his throat
out, but looking back, they definitely

450
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:56.119
started that relationship there mcgrouber thing when
he's looking at someone's throat and he's just

451
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:01.319
like old a man. I was
like, you still need to see mc

452
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:06.000
grouper that. I would love to
hear what she thinks it is not.

453
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.039
It is the most leven or hated
movie ever. I think she would like

454
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:15.240
it me too. I think I
think I think she will. Yeah.

455
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:22.200
Fuck, Roadhouse is really good nineteen
eighty three. That later later than that,

456
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:29.480
that's early. Let's see it was, Oh, I'm just gonna watch

457
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:35.119
of Texas Roadhouse nineteen eighty nine,
eighty nine, Okay, uh, what

458
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:38.519
else was happening in that year?
Movie Wise eighty nine Predator was like eighty

459
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:43.599
seven, let's see nine. Yeah, so that's another thing I didn't like.

460
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:45.759
In my head, again, I
thought it was like late like nineties

461
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:49.960
movie, and I didn't know it
was an action movie. If I had

462
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.839
known it was a late eighties action
movie, I would have immediately known,

463
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:55.640
Oh shit, Okay, we love
Predator. I love Terminators. I love

464
00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:59.960
a lot of these like it.
I would probably at least be on the

465
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.920
similar level as even if I didn't
love it in eighty nine. Looking at

466
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:06.200
this list of like the biggest movies
from it, it was very much like

467
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:08.400
ready to turn into nineties stuff and
kind of lose that eighties vibe, like

468
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:13.839
Indiana Jones, Last Crusade, the
Tim Burton Batman, h Luke, Who's

469
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:17.519
talking Lead the Weapon to Honey,
I Shrunk the Kids, Ghostbusters two movies

470
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.240
I grew up on which came out
right before I was born, and then

471
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:24.279
I was growing up on them because
those are the vhss we had in the

472
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:28.680
house. Yeah, totally, and
we just didn't have Roadhouse, probably for

473
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:31.559
good reason, uh or I mean
sorry, not for good reason, but

474
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:37.559
in my parents mind, for good
reason. But I would be probably more

475
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.880
insufferable than I am. Now.
If I had seen Roadhouse many times before

476
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:43.960
we became free, it would have
defined you even more. You would have

477
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:49.000
been impossible to deal with. What
is that movie you know, for each

478
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:52.000
for both of you of like the
movie that you saw at a five,

479
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.680
six, seven years old and it'ses
or anywhere up to like your teams,

480
00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:00.759
that it just defined your personality that
you still, you know, constantly talk

481
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:05.880
about. Oh that I still constantly
talk about. There are a lot of

482
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:07.599
movies there that I thought to find
my personality. Then I got older,

483
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:09.320
I was like, oh no,
no, no, no, no,

484
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:15.239
sure like boot Club, Booo Saints. Yeah, so I really defined how

485
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:21.599
cool I am I saw. Yeah, I recently described and by recently I

486
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:24.840
mean like a couple of years ago. I described people I don't like as

487
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:29.800
the types of people who grew up
and still love Fight Club as much as

488
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:32.400
they did when they were teenagers or
you know, for the reasons that make

489
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:36.719
it clearer that they just don't even
understand what they're supposed to be there.

490
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:43.639
But like a movie that like,
that's a good question, which is true

491
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:47.559
because Roadhouse is really about how violence
shapes us as a society, and we

492
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:52.119
should be much more thoughtful about the
ways that we solve our problems. That's

493
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:55.280
the message I took away from it, not that throats kick ass. That's

494
00:34:55.280 --> 00:35:02.400
totally what I thought. That's also
you know, that's also just an allegory

495
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:07.519
for like sure to take someone's voice
right right, It's it's like a war

496
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:10.840
allegory. It's a bay of pigs
thing. Yeah, oh, definitely a

497
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:17.480
record. It's just loved it.
He shouted broad fuck you and then just

498
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:22.039
like floated him across the river to
him. And then of course she's just

499
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:25.119
like, oh my god, I
just saw him do the most violent thing

500
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:29.039
you could do to someone. I'm
not really that into this guy for a

501
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:35.039
bit. Then all right, here's
here's another funny to this movie. This

502
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:42.440
guy Massacre is like six Henchman to
get to the big bad, and then

503
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:45.559
he lets that guy survive. So
she's like, oh, he's he's good

504
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:49.800
after all. Yeah, he's like
he's just gonna you know, he's the

505
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:53.119
guy. He's the he's gonna light
himself on square or on fire in the

506
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:55.760
in the town square, Like no, he just did you not see the

507
00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:59.840
dead bodies you had to crawl over
to get to him? I don't know

508
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:08.440
he only Oh yeah, her jeep
was real good. I'm glad you finally

509
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:12.079
saw it. That's an extremely mike
ma hearty movie. And I would have

510
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.280
rectified this many years ago if I
had known you hadn't seen it. I

511
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:20.840
saw that on TV, like with
commercials, I could see that mostly holding

512
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:23.599
up on TV like it was censored. Though. Yeah, but it's the

513
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:27.920
throw rip is super violent, but
it's not like oh my kidding, like

514
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:31.679
movies like violence rarely got cut out, like gunfire stuff. Like in Roadhouse,

515
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:34.960
it was mainly just super gore that
got cut out, So I think

516
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:42.440
Roadhouse would be mostly intact. Yeah, I mean it. Yeah, the

517
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:47.760
like the whole movie has not aged
well in terms of like there aren't any

518
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:53.639
massive women characters that aren't tropes.
No, yeah, I wouldn't show this

519
00:36:53.679 --> 00:37:00.119
movie like the bashed out Test,
which are two women in the scene and

520
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:04.400
they're not having sex with each other
or man. Yeah, and I you

521
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:08.159
know, like no, but still
though I would. I mean, I

522
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:13.519
already have a poster of Swayzy on
my ceiling above the bed. Sure doesn't

523
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:17.280
mean it's cool. We were bogging. I were blown away when we saw

524
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:21.000
Dirty Dancing for the first time,
like a couple of years. Dancing still

525
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:24.280
rules it is. We had no
idea because like I never never considered seeing

526
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:27.320
it growing up because I was like
that, it seems like that's a romantic

527
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.239
comedy that's not for me. And
then we watched it and like, I

528
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.360
guess it kind of is. But
it kicks ass. It's incredible. Actually,

529
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:36.960
I don't know if it's much for
comedy. It's what genre is that

530
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:42.599
movie? Musical drama? Like,
because it's still like a musical. No

531
00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:45.440
not, they're not. But it's
like a dance romance. I don't know.

532
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:49.320
It's it's a romance for sure.
Yeah, yeah, it's not like

533
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.400
a romantic comedy, but no,
it's a romance. It has no comedy

534
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:59.159
at all. It's theme brings a
watermel into a thing. It's it's it's

535
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:02.039
theme song is still one of the
best songs ever. Oh yeah, that's

536
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:04.960
one of the movies where once you
see it, you're like, oh,

537
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:12.199
I've been hearing this song at every
wedding ever. I'm thinking of foot Loose

538
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:16.800
right now, you're not think at
the time of my life Loose and Dirty

539
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:21.119
Dancing. I've seen definitely both really
good. But I was just thinking Flash

540
00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:23.960
Dance. No, I've never seen
flash Dance. I've seen Dirty Dancing and

541
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:28.239
foot Loose though, and Dirty Dancing
is still really good. It's awesome,

542
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:37.840
right, dirty Dancing being the movie
where there's like a huge I gotta check

543
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:42.440
the wave. I gotta I gotta
do the wave. No, that's Point

544
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.760
Break, right, Okay, I've
seen Point Break is surfing with Keanu.

545
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:52.440
Yeah. Dirty Dancing is Jennifer Gray
and they're like a camp and this is

546
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:58.920
the one where she's like making something
out of clay and he's like, you're

547
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:02.960
fuck what is Oh god damn?
When we're him and Wesley Snipes are cross

548
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:07.880
dressing with Nathan Lane and what is
the what is the movie with the the

549
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:14.719
Giant the giant boat hits the ice
Cube, the one where there's a stargate

550
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:20.039
Fuck? No, fuck, no, fuck. There's those two guys in

551
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:24.400
Boston. They're the Saints and they're
Boon dot Com. It's shit. They're

552
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:30.199
on Alcatraz and terrorists come over.
What's the point where he just will not

553
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:36.719
die easily in this tower? Fuck? But none of those are swazy?

554
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:42.119
Online? Are Swazies ghost Swazy?
Oh yeah, I'm not realizing I've not

555
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.239
seen. We did a whole like
Summer of Swazy thing like a few years

556
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:50.800
ago where we watched Dirty Dancing,
Point Break, Ghost, and Roadhouse.

557
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:53.119
I can't remembers all for the first
time. I think i'd seen Roadhouse at

558
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:55.840
that point. Uh, Ghost was
the only one that didn't hold up.

559
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.639
Point Break is like the most perfect
fucking movie I've ever seen. Swayze a

560
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:08.960
Patrick hat trick, Patrick three best
Patrick Swayze films in a row, It's

561
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:14.079
Dirty Dancing, It's Roadhouse, and
it's uh point Break without a doubt.

562
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:19.480
Whoa, let's do it? Wait? So okay, Point Break. If

563
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:24.119
memory serves, he is the leader. That's like almost like heat. But

564
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:30.199
they're surfers and then they were they
were present masks and they rob Banks Radical.

565
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.280
Yeah he can't he can't shoot,
is it Swayzy? He can't shoot

566
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:37.719
in that scene? Then he because
he's behind the mask. Yeah, he's

567
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:45.679
pretty cool. Okay. Anthony Keat
is from the Chili Peppers, and then

568
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:51.239
he's significantly less cool than Swayze.
It takes a it takes a lot to

569
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:54.519
make Anthony Keatos seem not cool.
But Swayze is a pretty good job and

570
00:40:55.360 --> 00:41:00.480
he does a pretty good job in
Scar Tissue's autobiography. Yeah, yeah,

571
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:06.280
Roadhouse is real good. It also
just made me realize I've not seen many

572
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:13.400
movies with Swayze Costner. Guy.
Oh wait, no, I who are

573
00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:16.639
you thinking of? I don't know
why, but actually, in my head,

574
00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:23.719
I am associating Kevin Costner and Patrick
Swayze, I mean the same.

575
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:30.719
Yeah, probably it was Kurt Russell. No, I know who Kurt Russell

576
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:32.599
is. I've seen all his movies. Oh, I just thought you were

577
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:37.440
dumb. Oh speaking of Kurt Russell. And that leads me to the thing

578
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:42.400
fucking out of nowhere, the bartender
halfway through the movie that they replace.

579
00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:45.840
They've replaced the Bartender twice because one
was skimming, one was not a good

580
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:47.280
temperament. All of a sudden,
Keith David is the bartender. Yes,

581
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:50.119
yes, I told him. Man. I was like, I think that's

582
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:52.519
Keith David, and she's like,
I don't think they'd introduced I don't think

583
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.880
they'd just like cast him in this
Like the thing was Mary? What year

584
00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:01.000
was the thing? That was?
Early eighty two? I want to say,

585
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:07.239
yeah, so like Keith David was
not Keith David was a known quantity.

586
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:09.280
It's like all of a sudden,
Keith David has like six lines.

587
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:13.880
He was still largely like a character
actor. I think like he had he

588
00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:15.320
had a bigger role in the thing, but I think he was mostly kind

589
00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:19.079
of a character actor at that point. I mean, they live like he

590
00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:22.320
definitely had bigger roles and stuff,
but he wasn't like, oh my god,

591
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:23.800
it's Keith David. He's gonna be
on the poster. Yeah, I

592
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:27.360
guess. So it was. Yeah, it was funny because, like I

593
00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:31.199
guess, John Carpenter just sees all
the stars before they were starting. Yeah,

594
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:36.760
Keith David was he had a vision. I'm gonna be bummed when Carpenter

595
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:39.400
drives. I think all the best
way, don't put that energy out into

596
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:43.000
the world. Let's every wait,
let's figure out. I know who is

597
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:49.079
the coolest old person. John David
Lynch seems like he's aging pretty like he's

598
00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:52.599
still being pretty cool. But I
feel like he wouldn't be super fun to

599
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:55.639
hang out with. Oh I always
had lunch with David Lynch and he just

600
00:42:55.639 --> 00:43:00.639
sounded like a weird old guy.
Yeah, but that's how I want to

601
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:04.400
be is a weird old guy.
But John Carpenter's weird and cool because he

602
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.480
plays video games. Is that the
metric? Yeah? And he well also

603
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:09.400
he just loves getting paid for shit
that he wrote like fifty years ago.

604
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:13.400
And he's just like any interview where
he's talking about that stuff, he was

605
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:15.679
so happy and he's like, yeah, Okay, they say they want to

606
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:17.079
make another Halloween movie and I hold
out my hand. They put a bunch

607
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:21.800
of money into it and I go
home. The person who I truly,

608
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:27.400
you guys know, I'm my favorite
band is Talking Heads. I'm assuming by

609
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:34.039
this point you know this Stop Making
Sense, which Jonathan Demi wrote directed.

610
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:37.519
They're like one of the most influential, if not the most influential, like

611
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:45.880
concert films of all time, is
getting remastered through four A and there or

612
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:49.760
is it Annapurna. No, it's
four A and they're rereleasing it on in

613
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:53.000
theaters on my birthday and Imax.
This year. We are away for a

614
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:55.840
wedding, which I'm pretty bummed about. Well, I mean, I'm really

615
00:43:55.840 --> 00:44:00.199
excited for the wedding. It's two
good friends of mine. However, I

616
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:04.800
am very much looking forward to going
to see Stop Making Sense the week after.

617
00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:12.519
David Byrne is the person who I
will actually have a real rough week

618
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:15.199
when he dies and he's up there. I mean he's not he's not he's

619
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:20.519
not done. He's still making all
kinds of shit now, David Byrne,

620
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:24.800
Yes, he would be like an
art artsy type any one, he would

621
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:28.920
be an artsy type. What's old
though? Is it eighties? I think

622
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:31.079
I think after seventy is like you're
like old old, you know. I

623
00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:37.239
think nowadays like five and you can
be like, okay, he's I know,

624
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:40.199
but he doesn't seem old. If
I know a cool I know,

625
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:47.239
a cool old guy who Jack Nicholson, Yeah, it's like old. He

626
00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:52.199
seems like two weird going out with
I don't know. I think I don't

627
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:54.480
think we have enough to go off
of because the only thing you ever see

628
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:59.440
in Nicholson in the last like fifteen
years, like post departed, all you

629
00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:01.760
see Nick, it's just like here's
a picture of him just looking grumpy in

630
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:06.639
the ocean at or at the Lakers
games. Yeah yeah, yeah, earned,

631
00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:08.599
you know, like he's earned it. I'm just saying we don't know

632
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:12.679
enough to know if he's cool still, I mean, what do you mean

633
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:15.679
still? Well, he was the
coolest fucking dude like Nicholson was incredible,

634
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:19.679
But I don't know. Easy Rider, here's five easy pieces. He was

635
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:22.679
one flew over the coogi's nest.
That dude was doing all the hints.

636
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:27.920
He did everything and now he's in
the ocean. But yeah, we just

637
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:30.159
don't know if he's a cool old
guy. We knew he was a cool

638
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:32.639
thirty forty fifty year old guy.
We don't know if he's a cool old

639
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:38.760
guy. Like we need people confirmed
or cool and old. I feel like

640
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:45.800
I've heard some bad stuff about him, no nor yeah, But like again,

641
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:49.320
this just comes down to, like
what are we Like there might be

642
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:52.880
a lot of shit about John Carpenter. We don't know, Like we don't

643
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:58.239
know anything. I've never heard anything
about I think he's more private, aside

644
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:01.039
from when he's tweeting about video games
and making money. Like I don't know,

645
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:06.760
I don't I've heard no one say
bad shit about Carpenter. I haven't

646
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:09.280
heard people say bad shit about I
didn't hear people say bad shit about Bill

647
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:13.760
Cosby until they did all of a
sudden, and there was a lot of

648
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:19.960
it kind of comes out still a
staunch defender. Why did I bring that

649
00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:22.239
up? You're right, I don't
know. I don't unfortunate your best friend.

650
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:27.960
Yeah, sorry, okay him,
you can't, Jake cut all this

651
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:40.760
walk right into that. I self
saboteur just cool old people, Like,

652
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:45.199
is there anyone over eighty that's just
like super duper cool? Still? Are

653
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:50.679
any of the Golden Girls still around? Betty died? I've never never seen

654
00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:55.159
that show. Yeah, Gorden Girls
is so good. I know there's a

655
00:46:55.159 --> 00:47:00.679
woman named Blanche, a woman named
There's a woman named Carrie, Miranda,

656
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:06.639
Samantha. All right, Charlotte.
I looked up old celebrities and these are

657
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:10.400
the oldest living celebrities in two thousand
twenty three. Nice David Attenborough from all

658
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:15.800
the BBC he's got, he seems
awesome. I mean he's around animals,

659
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:19.000
sim so who knows what they let
him get away with. But like he's

660
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:23.159
he's ninety six and I would love
to talk to that guy. Dick Van

661
00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:27.639
Dyke's alive somehow, He's not seven. I could have sworn he was dead.

662
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:31.840
Do you somehow alive? We're like
Dick van Dunzo. Jimmy Carter is

663
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:35.599
alive as of now, might not
be by the time this episode goes up.

664
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:40.559
Oh my god, this is Shark's
alive? Is not cool. I've

665
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:50.599
heard Bob Barker's Oh yeah, that
he's alive. Sark's ninety nine. Who

666
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:54.920
else is keep going? How old
do you think you're gonna be when you

667
00:47:55.039 --> 00:48:02.039
when you croaked? Dan? Either
two or one hundred and seven, He's

668
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:05.960
got the exact years picked out.
Not going to be a lot of in

669
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:08.039
between there. It's gonna be one
or the other. I think I'm I

670
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:14.280
keep telling Amanda, I'm proud I
one of them up. A woman,

671
00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:16.360
a woman in a red gown,
came to me one night and told me

672
00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:20.039
I would die in a fire explosion. And I believed her. And it's

673
00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:22.239
gonna happen at some point. I
don't know how old I'm gonna be.

674
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:25.840
It could be one hundred seventeen,
it could be thirty five. I'm gonna

675
00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:31.400
die in a fire explosion, fire, both of your so soon? No,

676
00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:36.079
I said, either one hundred and
seventeen or thirty five. There's always

677
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:37.840
a chance that something crazy he's gonna
happen. He's gonna hit by a train

678
00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:42.960
or something. Explosion would be kind
of cool, yeah, Like at my

679
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:46.440
funeral, Amanda would probably be sort
of laughing during the eulogy, when like

680
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:50.960
I actually died in a fire explosion, and I've been telling her like weekly,

681
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:53.199
Then I'm going to die in a
fire explosion. We're gonna put a

682
00:48:53.239 --> 00:48:59.679
little fart machine in your casket.
No, I'm not gonna have a casket.

683
00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:02.960
I'm to be signs of life.
There's not gonna be as I'm gonna

684
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:06.760
be burnt to a crisp. I'll
be a piece of toast coming back.

685
00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:13.320
No, no, no, here's
no. Here's what I want to happen

686
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:15.559
to my funeral. I'm gonna tell
you guys this. I'm gonna write it

687
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:22.519
down, relay this to my executor. You know. I want it to

688
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:25.800
be a Viking f started with I
Mike of sound Mind. It look at

689
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:32.679
the camera. I Michael Mhardy of
sound Mind, body and spirit. Will.

690
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:40.239
I require my funeral to take place
in the Viking tradition on a ship

691
00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:50.760
cast out into the ocean and thirty
Atlantic from Marconi Beach on Cape Cod And

692
00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:58.320
I want thirty five archers, each
with a different element on their hero can

693
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:06.039
be one must be flame, one
must be Earth, one must be moon,

694
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:13.400
one must be sun, one must
be poison. One must be you

695
00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:17.280
get the point. I'll write this
down. Thirty five elements must strike me

696
00:50:17.320 --> 00:50:22.719
simultaneously. They yeah, no,
you you're not one of the archers.

697
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:29.320
You're you're yeah, your wedding.
Can't I get a good spot at your

698
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:35.400
funeral? You must be piloting the
boat. Oh no, okay, the

699
00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:40.639
boat must have a pilot. I
choose I have sound mind bodies require both

700
00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:45.400
Dan Ryker and Mary Kish to be
on the said boat with me alive?

701
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:49.280
Or isn't a Viking funeral? Doesn't
the boat catch on fire? It catches

702
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:52.440
on fire, it catches on poison, it catches on earth, it catches

703
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:55.280
on moon. There's gonna be quite
a lot of ship cancel right, I

704
00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:59.599
don't know. Moon cancels Sun out. There's like some kind of three Stooges

705
00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:01.840
syndrome where they can all get through
the door. No, it's the thirty

706
00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:06.000
fifth element that doesn't cancel out,
because it's like it's like water, fire

707
00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:13.239
cancel out grass. Yeah, I'm
just doing Pokemon weaknesses, and it's the

708
00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:17.039
thirty fifth element that might not cancel
out. No. Electric cancels out with

709
00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:23.679
earth, mime, mine cancels out
with a megaphone. I think what's gonna

710
00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:29.360
happen is that whatever the thirty fifth
element is is gonna gonna be whatever like

711
00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:34.400
makes the boat do stuff like it. Maybe it's dance and then the boat

712
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:37.920
gets up out of the water and
I come back to life. Ratchen clank

713
00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:43.360
weapons. Yeah, we're gonna dig
a hole. We're gonna dig a shallow

714
00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:49.920
hole and toss you insomniacs must be
present at the wedding with a couple of

715
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:52.639
sticks, because we're gonna be too
drunk to actually put the dirt over.

716
00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:57.679
Your fingers will be sticking out,
pulling me out of the wreckage of the

717
00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:00.760
explosion and throw me in the dumpster. I don't care. Do whatever you

718
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:04.480
want with my body matter. I
don't care. I won't be there.

719
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:07.199
Cut that part out, Well,
this is what you want. Yeah,

720
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:12.480
I man, It was clearly edited. When he said I have sound mind,

721
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:15.440
bodying spirit to just throw me in
a dumpster. I don't care what

722
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:19.360
happens to me. There was like
a clear cut he shaved between the two

723
00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:22.760
cuts. He has no, throw
me in the dumpster. No, my

724
00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:30.960
funeral will be sick. Yeah,
that dumpster will be pretty cool. Speaking

725
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:35.480
of funerals, you guys want to
talk about video games. The weird transition

726
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:40.840
just say yes, yes, Hey
guys, did you know that science says

727
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:46.039
that we're dumber than children? I
have heard that, yes, Okay,

728
00:52:46.199 --> 00:52:52.639
well, apparently it's way harder to
learn languages after you've grown up. But

729
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:57.519
because we can't go back to being
sick no matter how much we try,

730
00:52:57.920 --> 00:53:01.119
the next best thing is Babble,
because with Babbel you can start speaking a

731
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:06.599
new language in just three weeks.
I have been using Babble and it has

732
00:53:06.639 --> 00:53:10.159
helped immeasurably. I've tried other apps. They've helped my reading and writing,

733
00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:15.159
for sure, but Babel has definitely
improved my ability to have casual, hopefully

734
00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:20.199
decent from their point of view,
conversations. I talked last time a couple

735
00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:23.599
of the garden stores in my area. Several of the people speak Spanish and

736
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:27.480
don't speak much English, so I've
been able to use Babbel to hone my

737
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:30.440
conversation with them about how much sun
my indoor plants need, how much water,

738
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:35.239
how frequently, how to not let
my plants die, and it's been

739
00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:38.360
going pretty well. Dan tell people
fire Escape listeners how they can get in

740
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:43.199
on this action as well. That's
right. We have a special limited time

741
00:53:43.239 --> 00:53:46.239
deal for our listeners to get you
started right now, get fifty five percent

742
00:53:46.280 --> 00:53:51.320
off your Babbel subscription, but only
for our listeners. No one else is

743
00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:55.039
at babel dot com slash fire.
That's right, Get up to fifty five

744
00:53:55.039 --> 00:54:00.639
percent off at babel dot com slash
Fire spelled b A b E l dot

745
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:07.400
com slash Fire. Rules and restrictions
may apply. All right, we're actually

746
00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:14.280
in kind of a pusy if busy
busy, we're in kind of a busy

747
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:20.280
pre fall release video game schedule.
I'd say we're in a fun spot where

748
00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:24.039
we're all playing Starfield, but we
can't talk about it. Sorry, Yeah,

749
00:54:24.119 --> 00:54:29.360
we cannot talk about that. This
episode unfortunate. But there's plenty of

750
00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:34.079
other stuff to talk about. By
now Armored Cores six reviews are out,

751
00:54:34.119 --> 00:54:37.079
we can talk about. Have you
guys played Armored Corps six? No?

752
00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:39.639
Everyone tells me, uh well,
first of all, everyone tells me they

753
00:54:39.679 --> 00:54:44.079
don't like it and also thinks that
I would hate it. I was excited

754
00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:47.880
to play it because I like from
stuff, but apparently this one ain't for

755
00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:53.519
a lot of people. I will
say it takes a while as someone who's

756
00:54:53.519 --> 00:54:58.480
never played another Armored Corps and who
came on to with from software with Dark

757
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:01.960
Souls in two thousand nine or whatever
it was. Armor Corps six took a

758
00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:07.599
while to start feeling like a from
Soft game, and I'm not I was.

759
00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:10.000
I didn't go into it thinking,
oh, this will immediately feel like

760
00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:16.960
Elden Ring or Sakiro or you know, Dark Souls. But yeah, for

761
00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:24.280
the first like three hours, it
just felt like a pretty sleek mech basic

762
00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:28.239
third person shooter game, Like,
yeah, I had missiles on my shoulder,

763
00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:31.239
I had a bazooka on my left
hand, I had a burst rifle

764
00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:35.119
in my right hand. I had
a couple of cool boosts. I had

765
00:55:35.159 --> 00:55:38.239
a dodge I had Yeah, like
certain bosses were easier to beat with a

766
00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:45.360
sword up in their face, but
it took a while. I have heard,

767
00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:47.760
and I'm saying this is someone who
also got pretty bored with it early

768
00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:52.920
on. I have heard from several
co workers who really like it that later

769
00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:58.679
on it gets much more into from
Soft territory of Okay, you can't beat

770
00:55:58.679 --> 00:56:01.679
this boss. He's fucking I possible, And by he, I mean it's

771
00:56:01.719 --> 00:56:07.800
like a fucking giant machine helicopter mech
you're getting your ass kicked. All your

772
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:13.760
instincts are steering you wrong. There
are other ways. You go back to

773
00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:17.920
the garage, you do a few
of the arena challenges, et cetera,

774
00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:22.559
which give you money to get new
weapons, which you then experiment within set

775
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:28.039
arena again, and then you go
back after having kind of mastered those,

776
00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:31.119
and then you're like, oh wait, this is very counterintuitive. But it

777
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:36.840
is like Orange Steen and Smoke from
Dark Souls. It's like, oh wait,

778
00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:38.920
one of them I really want to
get up close and personal with the

779
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:44.800
other. I want to kind of
keep my distance from I have not gotten

780
00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:51.559
to the point where Armored Corsis feels
like that kind of panned pattern recognition experimentation.

781
00:56:52.639 --> 00:56:58.119
I knew. It's extremely linear.
It's like it's like metal gear rising

782
00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:00.920
in the sense that you're jumping into
these missions to do or not metal You're

783
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:07.239
rising sorry, like peace Walker,
Yes, you're jumping into these like these

784
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:10.960
missions, and it's very like paramilitary, hyper capitalistic. It's like, hey,

785
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:14.519
you don't need to know who you're
killing, just go go fuck him

786
00:57:14.559 --> 00:57:20.679
up. Apparently you get farther into
it and you can go read Mike McWhorter

787
00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:22.760
as his view up on Polygon.
I have not played nearly as much as

788
00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:28.440
him. Apparently it becomes a from
Soft game certain number of hours in,

789
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:31.320
or at least what most of us
would recognize as a from Soft game,

790
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:36.519
since starting with you know, Souls
Borns. They're not trying to be one

791
00:57:36.519 --> 00:57:38.599
of those games per se. But
I think a lot of people who are

792
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:43.679
excited for Armor Courts six is oh
the next from software games since elden Ring

793
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:51.360
might be a bit bored at first, Like I was, feels pretty good

794
00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:55.760
up front, I just got real
bored. What about like something like so

795
00:57:55.840 --> 00:58:00.320
from is you know, there's a
lot of beauty in the art design,

796
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:02.679
both in the world and the characters
and bosses and things like that. Like,

797
00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:07.239
obviously this is a very different setting. This is mex and not fucking

798
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:09.480
like crazy you know, tree demons
and stuff. Yeah, it's a plan

799
00:58:09.559 --> 00:58:14.960
I have that personality. Is this
the same team as elden Ring? The

800
00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:20.199
similar so Miyazaki I think like Kick
started the project and handed off to people

801
00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:23.960
he trusted, you know, he
and several other designers, higher up designers.

802
00:58:24.039 --> 00:58:28.880
But I mean, by definition,
the world it's set on is being

803
00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:32.639
harvested. It's being fought over by
a bunch of different paramilitary corporations for Coral,

804
00:58:32.840 --> 00:58:40.039
which is like it's mcguffin's substance that
powers everything, so it's war torn

805
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:45.760
it. I think that's where Metal
Gear Rising Revengees comes in. It's like,

806
00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:49.840
oh, it's supposed to look or
like guns the Patriots before you get

807
00:58:49.880 --> 00:58:52.280
to the Prague chapter or whatever it
is, it's like, it's supposed to

808
00:58:52.320 --> 00:59:00.400
look pretty fucked up. I wouldn't
say the the art style, at least

809
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:02.920
as much as I've played, is
particularly striking. I don't know if that

810
00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:09.880
changes later on. Everything I'm doing
is in a ruined city. Everything's gray

811
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:15.079
metal. I get where. I
get what you're asking, because, yeah,

812
00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:17.760
Elden Ring, even like some of
the gross stuff Blood Born, even

813
00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:24.280
some of the more love crafty and
stuff, is incredibly designed. I feel

814
00:59:24.320 --> 00:59:29.320
like Armored Corps six, the point
of it is to look. Everything's purpose

815
00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:32.079
is to either blow something up or
be blown up, and it's tough to

816
00:59:32.119 --> 00:59:37.320
make a vibrant environment with that.
I don't think there's gonna be like this

817
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:42.400
really expansive color palette at play.
Maybe later in the game will surprise me.

818
00:59:42.719 --> 00:59:45.239
I am still playing it on and
off between everything else, but everything

819
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:49.159
my coworkers tell me, it's like, yeah, if you're getting bored,

820
00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:51.760
you know, that's fine. But
if you stick with it, it does

821
00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:59.280
start to reveal some subtleties and some
complexities in the actual experimentation with new parts

822
00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:04.239
on each of you limbs, because
you're you're outfitting your right shoulder blade,

823
01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:07.519
your left shoulder blade, your right
arm, your left arm. Some of

824
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:08.840
them are melee weapons, some of
them are shields, some of them are

825
01:00:08.840 --> 01:00:13.159
missiles, some of them are burst
rifles, bazookas, et cetera. And

826
01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:15.760
then later on you could start messing
with your legs a bit, so you're

827
01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:21.639
not always bipedal. So it's a
slow burn. Apparently, I personally,

828
01:00:22.199 --> 01:00:25.320
as we'll get to in a bit, have some other stuff I'm really fucking

829
01:00:25.400 --> 01:00:30.360
enjoying much more. Uh, maybe
I'll go back to it when I kind

830
01:00:30.360 --> 01:00:34.719
of want something that is initially mindless
and then reveals itself to be much bigger

831
01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:39.800
than my first impression. But so
far, our armor Core six is kind

832
01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:45.360
of bored me and kind of you're
hearing that, Yeah, that's that's a

833
01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:50.679
shame, because I did feel some
like it's excitement. It's a good problem

834
01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:52.559
to have where it's like, oh
my god, there's all these big games

835
01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:54.880
coming out at once, and I
want to try all these. And then

836
01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:59.719
I kept hearing things about Armored Core
and thinking like, okay, maybe maybe

837
01:00:59.719 --> 01:01:02.039
I'll right that at some point,
but I am no longer worried about like,

838
01:01:02.480 --> 01:01:06.360
oh, which game am I gonna
play? Here? Like okay,

839
01:01:06.679 --> 01:01:08.320
yeah, I don't think this is
the game that's going to hook you right

840
01:01:08.360 --> 01:01:14.800
away and pull you away from everything
else going on. I think it's more

841
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:20.400
uh, And I like to be
clear, like Mecca stuff never really does

842
01:01:20.559 --> 01:01:24.519
much for me to begin with,
so admittedly maybe I'm not the target audience.

843
01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:29.400
The closest I've got to that kind
of stuff is like Tight and Fall

844
01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:36.079
two, which was the most mainstream
applicable mech combat kind of game ever.

845
01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:40.960
No. I like Mac Warrior,
I liked on Battle Tech, but those

846
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:45.679
are like turn based strategy games.
I don't know. I really do want

847
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:49.079
to go back and give it more
time, because everything I'm hearing from some

848
01:01:49.159 --> 01:01:53.119
co workers who have gotten like ten
fifteen, twenty five hours in or like

849
01:01:53.519 --> 01:01:58.480
trust me, it gets incredible,
and I'm like, all right, you

850
01:01:58.519 --> 01:02:00.559
know, when I when I can
find ying that time, I will get

851
01:02:00.599 --> 01:02:06.239
there. I just god, there's
there's a lot. There are a lot

852
01:02:06.280 --> 01:02:08.000
of other games, you know,
which is not a fault of Armored Corps

853
01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:12.840
sixth. There are a lot of
other games releasing that, some of which

854
01:02:12.840 --> 01:02:17.039
are also really fucking boring me.
Uh well, maybe we'll talk about that

855
01:02:17.079 --> 01:02:23.000
next episode, but others that are
more really holding my attention. But anyway,

856
01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:27.239
I feel like I've been hogging the
mic, Dan, what have you

857
01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:30.880
been playing? I mean, the
only I've been playing outside of Starfield and

858
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:36.480
Moving has been Immortals of Wabium.
I played it for a Giant Bomb quick

859
01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:39.360
look and one of those games where
I played it for the quick look and

860
01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:45.639
got that out the door and we'll
never think of it again post this conversation.

861
01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:52.280
It is h It's for spoken tone, dialogue, story type stuff like

862
01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:55.840
we're magic youngsters and there's evil a
foot, you know, and it's just

863
01:02:55.840 --> 01:03:00.079
i'member the very first like they're like
very basic dial log decisions you can make,

864
01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:02.440
and one of the very first,
I think it's it is the very

865
01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:07.960
first one you make is somebody says
something when the other character says, oh,

866
01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:10.000
what kind of message does that send? And you have three options.

867
01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:17.199
You can say a boss one or
the I'm evil kind or that sandracks an

868
01:03:17.239 --> 01:03:22.320
asshole, and it's like a it's
just a bunch of like snarky teenagers saying

869
01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:27.519
snarky stuff about magic, evil guys
and stuff. It's it's the four spoken

870
01:03:27.559 --> 01:03:31.400
like oh no, I gottam fighting
freaking dragons. It's I just it's kryptonite

871
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:37.039
to me. I can't fucking do
that. It's that said, the actual

872
01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:39.280
like running around and shooting like you
know, it's the hand magic stuff.

873
01:03:39.320 --> 01:03:43.440
You know, you're swapping between these
different powers and you've got like a green

874
01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:45.239
one or red one, a blue
one. You can level up all of

875
01:03:45.239 --> 01:03:49.320
them and it is very snappy.
There's no ammo management or anything like that,

876
01:03:49.480 --> 01:03:52.400
so you don't have to worry about
that. It's almost like a doom

877
01:03:52.400 --> 01:03:57.320
Maternal where if it was just kind
of idiot proof, where doom Maternal you

878
01:03:57.360 --> 01:03:59.840
had to think about like Okay,
I need this much fuel for my chain,

879
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:00.559
I need this thing here. Okay, I'm out of this, so

880
01:04:00.559 --> 01:04:02.880
I need to go to this.
This one is like okay, you can

881
01:04:02.880 --> 01:04:05.400
just swap between whatever you want at
all times and there's no you have to

882
01:04:05.440 --> 01:04:09.920
like reload your hand to like you
know, get your AMMO back or whatever.

883
01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:12.360
But it gives you a million powers
right away. Most of them are

884
01:04:12.360 --> 01:04:16.360
pretty snappy and fun. But like
the world, the world and the quest

885
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:21.280
design, it's all very you know, twenty twelve, twenty thirteen Xbox three

886
01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:27.840
sixty campaign stuff. There's just not
a lot going on there that you haven't

887
01:04:27.840 --> 01:04:30.920
seen a million times before. The
combat struck me as like fast paced ghost

888
01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:35.440
wire Tokyo. Just it's hands.
Some of the do some of that,

889
01:04:35.519 --> 01:04:39.920
and then like the puzzles are very
just like modern God of War where it's

890
01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:43.760
like here's there's three things in the
environment, hit him and then this thing

891
01:04:43.800 --> 01:04:45.840
will open like that chest still pop
up and it's great. Okay. Oh

892
01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:48.159
the big tweak and this one is
that like one will be read, one

893
01:04:48.159 --> 01:04:50.719
will be blue, and one will
be green. I wonder which hand I

894
01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:55.920
use for each one. So it's
just it's it's nothing about it is super

895
01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:00.440
terrible. Maybe outside like the tone
to me personally, but there's is nothing

896
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:04.760
memorable either. That's a shame.
It doesn't sound like something I've really heard

897
01:05:04.800 --> 01:05:10.800
anyone talk about either. Yeah,
I have no intention of touching it.

898
01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:14.559
It's a it's like a six point
five out of ten. I would say,

899
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:20.079
Mary, what's something you've been enjoying? Bring us back up, bring

900
01:05:20.119 --> 01:05:26.920
us back up. Well, this
game isn't new, but new to game

901
01:05:27.000 --> 01:05:33.199
pass is the entire Frog Detective series
and I played it with my mom.

902
01:05:33.480 --> 01:05:40.400
She was the detective and I played
all other roles it. What is your

903
01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:43.719
mom's history with games prior to this? Not a lot. It was funny

904
01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:46.000
when we were playing. I was
like, Mom, you know I like

905
01:05:46.119 --> 01:05:48.440
to play games, and she's like
yes, And I was like, what

906
01:05:48.559 --> 01:05:53.119
games did I play? And she
was like, well, you played Game

907
01:05:53.199 --> 01:06:01.679
of War. Game of War with
Marco Phenis. If she knew any part

908
01:06:01.679 --> 01:06:06.199
of his name, I would have
been really impressed. Mark markam Penis.

909
01:06:06.559 --> 01:06:11.000
I know you liked Game of War. And then she said, and don't

910
01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:15.280
you play Dodo? And I was
like, you mean Doda? No,

911
01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:21.159
sounds like someone I would get along
with. She doesn't care about like games

912
01:06:21.239 --> 01:06:27.000
like that, but she plays a
lot of Solitaire and she's interested in like

913
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:32.840
my interests. So I figured she
would like Frog Detective because it's very much

914
01:06:32.880 --> 01:06:39.599
like reading a book. It's like
you meet characters, you listen to them.

915
01:06:39.639 --> 01:06:43.719
You solve a very simple crime and
it's wholesome and kind of cute and

916
01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:46.880
fun. As she loved it.
She was all in on Frog Detective.

917
01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:55.920
Okay, so pro Frog. The
whole trilogy's on game pass. I believe

918
01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:59.199
so, and I think there's like
even more possibly, but I know there's

919
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:01.639
at least we play the first chapter. It was like a ghost Island and

920
01:07:02.239 --> 01:07:05.519
it's very cute. It's a very
wholesome game. I would say it's almost

921
01:07:05.559 --> 01:07:10.599
too simple, where like you should
play it with a kid or when you're

922
01:07:10.599 --> 01:07:15.000
really drunk. It does not require
a lot of thought, but it's were

923
01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:19.639
you drunk. I was drinking,
I was with my mom and the drunk

924
01:07:19.639 --> 01:07:25.840
I'm drinking. I'm not drunk,
I'm drinking. Hey, I'm not on

925
01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:32.360
a dirt bro Rando. Oh.
You know another song that I forgot to

926
01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:35.760
bring up during our when we were
asking if we knew country songs was Country

927
01:07:36.920 --> 01:07:42.559
Country Girl by Luke Bryan. It's
like country girls, Shake it for me,

928
01:07:42.840 --> 01:07:46.440
girl. I know every word to
it, and I hate that.

929
01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:50.719
What context were you hearing these?
On the last episode we talked about what

930
01:07:50.760 --> 01:07:55.599
contexts were you hearing? Like Luke
Bryan's country year. Olscuse, there's a

931
01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:59.639
decent At least when I was in
you know, high school college years,

932
01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:01.840
there were a number of people that
were really into country music. When my

933
01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:06.960
country music, I mean the pop
country Luke Bryan was coming up. So

934
01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:11.159
funny that like, over the course
of two weeks you were like, I

935
01:08:11.239 --> 01:08:16.239
really should have mentioned that song about
the country girl sho was so that you

936
01:08:16.319 --> 01:08:24.760
had and a completely unrelated topic to
make sure we knew that you knew country

937
01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:28.680
girls. Shake it for me,
just needed you to know that every once

938
01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:32.119
in a while I get belt out
a real good country girl, and uh,

939
01:08:32.439 --> 01:08:35.000
I could not. I haven't been
sleeping well that you guys knowing that,

940
01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:41.479
I'm thank you for telling me so. Frog Detective is a pretty wholesome

941
01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:48.079
game where you just saw very simple
crimes that are not stressful or dangerous,

942
01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:54.199
and everyone is friendly. There's almost
never murder. It's usually like I wish

943
01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:58.439
that this other character would notice me, but I don't think they will because

944
01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:00.960
I'm too shy. I want to
learn a dance move to help them,

945
01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:04.079
and then you like figure out a
dance move to help them. What was

946
01:09:04.079 --> 01:09:10.279
the crime most heinous crime anyone in
Frog Detective did well. The one I

947
01:09:10.399 --> 01:09:15.000
saw was there was a ghost on
an island because they could hear howling,

948
01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:19.800
and so it was about figuring out
the ghost situation. The ghost isn't inherently

949
01:09:20.039 --> 01:09:25.199
evil, right, well, that's
the thing. Nobody really gets to speak

950
01:09:25.239 --> 01:09:30.439
for the ghosts. So the crime
was really humanity judging the ghost. I

951
01:09:30.479 --> 01:09:38.359
believe that Frog Detective is an allegory
for the way that we place blame as

952
01:09:38.399 --> 01:09:45.159
a society indeterminately to deflect from our
internal anguish. That's about the Bay of

953
01:09:45.199 --> 01:09:56.800
Pigs. Yeah, I place blame
pretty justly. I would say, just

954
01:09:58.279 --> 01:10:02.760
what a wonderful ad, just letting
people know I always think I've ever done

955
01:10:02.760 --> 01:10:10.880
anything wrong in my life. I
always place blame whence it behooves to be

956
01:10:10.920 --> 01:10:16.800
playing, I'm saying weird words,
blame last worth, I deem it appropriate,

957
01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:24.000
and the hammer of justice falls swiftly
and it is good. You know,

958
01:10:24.239 --> 01:10:26.960
Like, I've seen you blame people
for things, and I've seen you

959
01:10:27.039 --> 01:10:30.000
disliked people. But I gotta say
I think your barometer is pretty good.

960
01:10:30.399 --> 01:10:34.880
I've never seen you be like,
hey, that guy definitely did like last

961
01:10:34.920 --> 01:10:41.039
time I saw you. Wait,
sorry, what say the last thing you

962
01:10:41.239 --> 01:10:44.960
blamed your cat for a fart that
you did, like last time I saw

963
01:10:45.039 --> 01:10:49.960
it. I blame that's because they're
not gonna Yeah, well, like hate

964
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:54.039
things in situations. But I think
every time he's like ranting about something,

965
01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:56.840
I'm like, yeah, I can
see where he's coming from. Yeah.

966
01:10:56.880 --> 01:10:59.880
No, people, I think I'm
a good judge of people. Yeah,

967
01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:05.560
I think you are too. Oh
my god. You mean because you don't

968
01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:09.520
like me and you want to kill
me, and you're wrong because I'm perfect?

969
01:11:11.399 --> 01:11:15.520
Whatever is more common? Mike?
What else have you played? What

970
01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:20.640
else have you been playing? Shadow? Gambit, the Cursed Crew? Have

971
01:11:20.720 --> 01:11:26.119
you ever heard a worst name for
a video game? I think it's gonna

972
01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:30.640
go on our Goadie list for names. In fact, I don't know if

973
01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:32.520
you guys know that I did that, but I started it. Which,

974
01:11:32.600 --> 01:11:36.000
by the way, Mary, you
fucking lied on our Twitter. What was

975
01:11:36.039 --> 01:11:43.479
it you did? Look straight up, Fabrica, Yes, you fucking I

976
01:11:43.560 --> 01:11:45.800
did not. Why are you say? God read it? The embargo is

977
01:11:45.840 --> 01:11:48.640
up. Now I can talk about
what I was talking about. You said,

978
01:11:49.199 --> 01:11:53.399
Dan just started our Game of the
Year twenty twenty three lists so we

979
01:11:53.439 --> 01:11:58.239
could add the category for worst game. No, I said, we should

980
01:11:58.239 --> 01:12:01.920
do a category called worstne because I
was playing Immortals of Baby and I was

981
01:12:01.920 --> 01:12:05.039
like, this shit fucking sucks.
I didn't see that added a category called

982
01:12:05.079 --> 01:12:09.199
worst tone and I put forth spoken
and Immortals of Baby on it, and

983
01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:15.119
you tweeted I said worst game.
Oh wow, that must have riled some

984
01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:18.399
people up. I did not see
that happen. I wasn't even listening.

985
01:12:18.560 --> 01:12:24.039
I think I saw you say word
and I was like, oh, Mary

986
01:12:24.159 --> 01:12:27.840
just admitting that she a doesn't listen
and b doesn't really pay attention to what

987
01:12:27.920 --> 01:12:30.920
she herself posts on our Twitter tweet. Absolutely not. I didn't really hear

988
01:12:31.000 --> 01:12:34.960
you, but you know I projected
it to the masses. I respond to

989
01:12:35.079 --> 01:12:38.319
that, and people are saying like, oh, dang, Starfield's really not

990
01:12:38.399 --> 01:12:40.640
hitting. Huh. Oh, Starfield's
that bad huh. It's like, oh,

991
01:12:40.760 --> 01:12:45.399
I guess Dan's hating AC six.
No, oh my god. This

992
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:48.079
is when people I'm not gonna get
into this. Are we're blaming me for

993
01:12:48.159 --> 01:12:50.720
the way that the public respond No, no, no, no, no,

994
01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:55.880
that's funny I'm talking about. I
love how the public tries to like

995
01:12:56.319 --> 01:12:59.279
be in on the joke and act
like they know what the funk we're talking

996
01:12:59.319 --> 01:13:01.000
about. No, I mean,
I don't even know we're talking about.

997
01:13:01.039 --> 01:13:03.800
And I'm on a tweet a day. There's no specific game. It was

998
01:13:03.840 --> 01:13:12.399
just Marry delusionally posting something. Sometimes
there's no logic to what's happening. Shadow

999
01:13:12.399 --> 01:13:20.640
Game at the Curse Crew awful name, absolutely incredible video game. If your

1000
01:13:20.720 --> 01:13:24.920
call. I believe it was two
years ago. During our Game of the

1001
01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:30.680
Year talks, I brought up Desperado's
three. Yeah, the Wild West Stealth

1002
01:13:30.720 --> 01:13:35.239
Tactics game. I described it as
if you took Metal Gear Solid or hit

1003
01:13:35.279 --> 01:13:40.720
Man World of Assassination, whatever,
the trilogy, whatever you want to call

1004
01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:45.760
it, zoomed out to an isometric
kind of bird's eye view perspective and just

1005
01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:50.840
controlled these characters from from on high. They did Desperados three, which is

1006
01:13:50.840 --> 01:13:57.479
Wild West. They did Shadow Tactics, which was Feudal Japan. So this

1007
01:13:57.520 --> 01:14:01.319
is their third game. The developers
MEMI Games. I think they're French.

1008
01:14:01.640 --> 01:14:05.640
It could be wrong. Based on
the I'm based I have no idea.

1009
01:14:06.760 --> 01:14:12.039
I'm basing that on the voice over
I heard in a recent Shadow Tactics video.

1010
01:14:12.479 --> 01:14:18.920
Shadow Tactics is Undead Pirates, all
Pirates of the Caribbean see if thieves

1011
01:14:19.000 --> 01:14:25.239
kind of humor. You get a
crew of I believe there are six characters

1012
01:14:25.319 --> 01:14:30.319
you can unlock and you're doing like
it's it's vision cones, it's each of

1013
01:14:30.359 --> 01:14:39.920
the six characters has very different powers
as opposed to Desperados three and Shadow Tactics,

1014
01:14:39.960 --> 01:14:45.239
which was very Dishonored two or Hitman
in the sense that you would unlock

1015
01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:47.640
the next location and then you go
in and replay it as much as you

1016
01:14:47.680 --> 01:14:55.199
want. This is more just like
an alternate reality Caribbean c with I don't

1017
01:14:55.199 --> 01:14:59.600
know how many islands. There are
maybe close to a dozen, and you

1018
01:14:59.640 --> 01:15:04.520
can go to each one and they
each have their own locations using Hitman terminology

1019
01:15:04.760 --> 01:15:10.319
in them. You go into these
locations and in order to recruit new party

1020
01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:13.800
members, you are trying to get
these black pearls, which will revive these

1021
01:15:13.920 --> 01:15:19.640
undead pirate legends who then join your
crew. But holy fucking shit, Like,

1022
01:15:21.640 --> 01:15:26.479
I love stealth games, I love
tactical games. I love games with

1023
01:15:26.600 --> 01:15:31.680
like really stark character design, and
Shadow Tactics is just kind of delivering on

1024
01:15:31.720 --> 01:15:39.159
all three fronts and their level design
is up there with Dishonored two, hit

1025
01:15:39.199 --> 01:15:45.520
Man three, Metal Gear Solid pick
any of those games. These are some

1026
01:15:45.600 --> 01:15:53.600
pretty incredible top down stealth tactical maps
you're playing in. Like there's already there

1027
01:15:53.640 --> 01:16:00.079
are already two areas in Shadow Tactics
that are on I would say with my

1028
01:16:00.199 --> 01:16:06.319
favorite hit Man World of Assassination locations. So have we We've talked about this.

1029
01:16:06.359 --> 01:16:10.760
I think my three favor If I
had to pick three hit Man World

1030
01:16:10.760 --> 01:16:17.000
of Assassination locations, I would go, I really Sepienza is like the crowd

1031
01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:20.279
pleaser, but I have to agree
with everybody. Sepienza is really good.

1032
01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:29.640
I really, really, really fucking
like Berlin the Club and what would my

1033
01:16:29.680 --> 01:16:33.239
third be probably Paris the Fashion Show. There are already two locations in Shadow

1034
01:16:33.279 --> 01:16:39.159
Tactics, and I have only played, from what I can understand, twenty

1035
01:16:39.199 --> 01:16:43.159
percent of the game that are like
rivaling those as some of my favorite level

1036
01:16:43.199 --> 01:16:47.119
designs ever in my life. This
game is that good. I'm crazy.

1037
01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:53.479
You don't. You don't evoke the
Hitman levels that are Yeah. Level design

1038
01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:57.640
is like the thing I geek out
about in game design, and Mimi me

1039
01:16:57.880 --> 01:17:05.239
sence Shadow Tactics with like their feudal
Japanese castles. They're wild West saloon towns.

1040
01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:09.439
They have just been nailing it in
terms of these they look like they're

1041
01:17:09.479 --> 01:17:14.199
like dioramas you're peering into and you're
just like doing stealth missions with g I

1042
01:17:14.319 --> 01:17:20.439
Joe's and it's fucking unreal. Like
you're you are you pick three characters per

1043
01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:26.039
mission within these islands, and you're
returning to islands to do other parts of

1044
01:17:26.079 --> 01:17:29.520
the island and then replay certain areas
when you want to recruit new characters.

1045
01:17:29.520 --> 01:17:34.800
But the humor and the character abilities
are all just combining to the point where

1046
01:17:36.039 --> 01:17:40.439
you are, like, there's a
character who she carries around a huge cannon

1047
01:17:40.520 --> 01:17:43.199
on her back. You would say, how does that work in a stealth

1048
01:17:43.239 --> 01:17:46.119
game? She just walks up to
an enemy who's patrolling an area and kind

1049
01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:50.359
of just like thunks the cannon on
top of them, puts it back on

1050
01:17:50.439 --> 01:17:54.920
her back so their feet are dangling
out, and then she can launch them

1051
01:17:55.119 --> 01:17:59.439
or an ally ally or enemy to
like a spot within her range on the

1052
01:17:59.479 --> 01:18:04.319
map. There's another character who can
possess enemies. There's another character who can

1053
01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:12.520
he's basically like the ship's botanist,
So can someone can just sprout bushes in

1054
01:18:12.520 --> 01:18:15.760
the middle of like say, there
are three enemies with vision cones that are

1055
01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:21.000
coming back into this one clearing.
The botanist can sprout bushes in the middle

1056
01:18:21.000 --> 01:18:27.159
of that clearing for someone to crouch
and go into and hide. It works

1057
01:18:27.199 --> 01:18:31.279
even better that like Desperado's three with
their Wild West characters was pretty still kind

1058
01:18:31.319 --> 01:18:35.640
of going for a bit more of
a serious tone, this is just much

1059
01:18:35.680 --> 01:18:43.279
more comedic literally so, because the
games are very much like Balder's Gate three

1060
01:18:43.359 --> 01:18:48.000
based around quick saving and quick loading. The Red Marley, the ship you're

1061
01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:53.600
on that you're rebuilding as your headquarters
throughout the game. Its power is to

1062
01:18:53.640 --> 01:18:59.000
rewind time, so anytime you quick
load a save, they'll be like,

1063
01:19:00.079 --> 01:19:02.359
I used the ship power again,
did a guard spot you weren't expecting.

1064
01:19:02.399 --> 01:19:05.359
It's like, it sounds cheesy,
but it actually like they're using it as

1065
01:19:05.399 --> 01:19:11.119
an in universe way to make you
feel okay with the fact that you are

1066
01:19:11.239 --> 01:19:15.279
reloading saves every thirteen seconds, Like
fuck, that guy's vision cone was way

1067
01:19:15.319 --> 01:19:19.319
longer than I thought it would be, or well, shit, this kind

1068
01:19:19.319 --> 01:19:24.000
of guard the invisibility doesn't work on
him, or he can. He's like

1069
01:19:24.039 --> 01:19:29.479
a manager and hitman. He can
recognize when I'm impersonating someone he knows that

1070
01:19:29.520 --> 01:19:31.520
this guy's is bullshit. I'm like, fuck, I forgot, I didn't

1071
01:19:31.520 --> 01:19:35.439
pay attention last mission, quick load, and then the character will be like,

1072
01:19:36.760 --> 01:19:40.039
hey, you fucked up again.
Whatever, get after it, go

1073
01:19:40.039 --> 01:19:45.640
go do it again. It is
just it might be. It is,

1074
01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:49.840
of all the games I'm playing right
now, probably the one game I can't

1075
01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:55.600
stop thinking about and I want to
go back to, and it's making me

1076
01:19:55.680 --> 01:19:59.560
want to replay Desperado's Three, Shadow
tax Tactics, et cetera. But like

1077
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:02.239
God, it came out at a
terrible time with all these other games.

1078
01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:05.520
I never heard of this, but
I'm looking at it, and on Steam

1079
01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:11.039
it's overwhelmed, overwhelmingly positive reviews.
People seem to be, well, shit,

1080
01:20:11.319 --> 01:20:14.640
so I hit So I'm playing mouse
and keyboard because that's how I played

1081
01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:20.199
Desperado's Three and Shadow Tactics, both
of which are still incredible. And if

1082
01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:26.920
you get the chance, like it's
literally Dan to your tastes. Imagine Metal

1083
01:20:26.920 --> 01:20:30.920
Gear solid like the VR missions but
zoomed out. Mary. Imagine. I

1084
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:33.479
mean, I know you both love
hit Man, but imagine hit Man World

1085
01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:39.880
of Session Assassination Trilogy zoomed out.
They're like these clockwork worlds. Then each

1086
01:20:39.880 --> 01:20:44.800
of these character with their special abilities
are fucking with it and you're trying these

1087
01:20:44.840 --> 01:20:47.119
different objectives. You're trying these emergent
situations. We're like, oh, right,

1088
01:20:47.199 --> 01:20:53.760
she can dash across an expanse like
blink like in dishon or two,

1089
01:20:53.760 --> 01:20:58.079
and then stab somebody. He can
possess somebody. He can make a noise.

1090
01:20:58.119 --> 01:21:02.640
It attracts people, but it only
attracts their vision, so they're not

1091
01:21:02.640 --> 01:21:09.119
going to move, so that helps
me get this character behind them. It's

1092
01:21:08.920 --> 01:21:13.279
it's it's so up my like it's
so up like three different alleys of mine

1093
01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:18.520
that I hesitate to recommend it to
everybody. But oh my god, I

1094
01:21:18.920 --> 01:21:24.159
fucking love this game. And the
humor is not cheesy. It's not forced.

1095
01:21:24.359 --> 01:21:28.439
It's like you could tell the developers
we're just having fun with everything.

1096
01:21:28.479 --> 01:21:31.239
It's like a lot of times I
hate that fourth wall breaking shit. Like

1097
01:21:31.560 --> 01:21:35.560
if in any other game they were
like, oh you just quick quick loaded,

1098
01:21:35.760 --> 01:21:39.439
like shame on you. It's like
no, it's like it makes sense

1099
01:21:39.439 --> 01:21:43.000
because the redmar they're like, they're
like, hey, you're back. That

1100
01:21:43.119 --> 01:21:45.960
dude's a dick, go go go
fuck them up. That I don't know,

1101
01:21:45.039 --> 01:21:48.880
it works really well. And it's
funny that the quick the f fiv

1102
01:21:48.920 --> 01:21:53.399
ing and f aiding is reminding me
of a Baller's Gate three because I'm doing

1103
01:21:53.439 --> 01:21:58.439
that so much in that game.
But shadow tactics saves coming. Yeah,

1104
01:21:58.560 --> 01:22:02.880
shadow tactics is just base surround it
because you're really trying to use each of

1105
01:22:02.880 --> 01:22:06.279
the character's abilities. Also, last
thing I'll say before I stop ranting,

1106
01:22:08.600 --> 01:22:12.880
you get it's either six or eight
characters, but again, on missions,

1107
01:22:12.920 --> 01:22:19.680
you can bring three of them.
One of the biggest achievements of the game

1108
01:22:19.760 --> 01:22:25.560
that I don't know how me Me
Me pulled off is I have yet to

1109
01:22:25.720 --> 01:22:33.640
bring a specific team comp on a
mission, and I've done twelve missions at

1110
01:22:33.640 --> 01:22:36.960
this point. I think somewhere on
these like beach cliff sides, some are

1111
01:22:36.960 --> 01:22:41.760
in these like pirate towns, somewhere
in these like supernatural temples. I have

1112
01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:45.239
yet to bring a trio that I
felt like the game did not account for.

1113
01:22:46.720 --> 01:22:50.000
The game is just constantly like,
yeah, go experiment with the woman

1114
01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:54.680
with a cannon under back and the
botanist and the guy who can impersonate people.

1115
01:22:55.880 --> 01:22:59.800
Use them. You'll have just as
much luck, or you'll have just

1116
01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:03.159
as many options as if you brought
the person who's more of a sharpshooter,

1117
01:23:03.239 --> 01:23:09.000
etc. It's it's I don't know
that. It's just like they might be

1118
01:23:09.039 --> 01:23:15.039
one of the most talented, knowledgeable
studios working today that I want to say.

1119
01:23:15.079 --> 01:23:18.399
They don't get enough credit. Obviously, Stealth Tactics is a very niche

1120
01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:26.159
genre, but they're They're up there
with like Io Interactive Arcane in terms of

1121
01:23:26.279 --> 01:23:29.520
level design. Even Sniper Elaite five, which I talked about last year,

1122
01:23:29.560 --> 01:23:34.640
which had an incredible level design.
Shadow Tactics despite its bad name uh and

1123
01:23:34.800 --> 01:23:40.439
bad timing is people should check it
out. If any of that sounds up

1124
01:23:40.479 --> 01:23:45.439
your alley, it is just extremely
well crafted video game. I can't It's

1125
01:23:45.439 --> 01:23:50.760
all I'm thinking about when I'm not
playing other stuff for work purposes. Dang,

1126
01:23:51.319 --> 01:23:56.720
I'll bring it up in December for
sure. Again. Yeah, yeah,

1127
01:23:58.359 --> 01:24:00.079
I gotta get I have not talk
to Jake about it yet, but

1128
01:24:00.119 --> 01:24:03.880
I know he likes stuff like that
too. But like, yeah, just

1129
01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:10.439
imagine Hitman bird's eye view. You're
controlling a team of three people with different

1130
01:24:10.479 --> 01:24:16.560
abilities, and it's that's the general
elevator pitch. I'll give listeners nice,

1131
01:24:17.119 --> 01:24:20.960
but Mary, you have been playing
more Baller's Gate three correct, I played

1132
01:24:21.000 --> 01:24:24.720
a little. Yeah, I played
more Ballder's Gate three this weekend, and

1133
01:24:24.800 --> 01:24:30.520
I'm loving it. I think it's
it's incredible, like just all the nuance

1134
01:24:30.560 --> 01:24:34.279
to the characters and how when you
approach a situation. It's completely different from

1135
01:24:34.319 --> 01:24:38.920
everyone I've talked to, Like the
first area, some people are saying like

1136
01:24:38.960 --> 01:24:43.239
people are frozen when they're getting there, and like it just seems like there's

1137
01:24:43.279 --> 01:24:48.239
a lot of different ways to play
it and handle a situation. I think

1138
01:24:48.279 --> 01:24:55.520
it's really fun to be able to
utilize your skills to solve it the way

1139
01:24:55.560 --> 01:25:01.359
you want to. And because I
have like Elf and uh sorcery, I'm

1140
01:25:01.399 --> 01:25:06.000
constantly using my magic and intuition to
solve things and it's just really fun.

1141
01:25:06.680 --> 01:25:10.680
Balder's Gate is great. I don't
know if I have much more to add

1142
01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:14.600
that we didn't already say last week
or last episode, but it's it's such

1143
01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:19.199
a good game. It's it's incredible. Are you still what is your like

1144
01:25:19.279 --> 01:25:25.399
go to part party you're rolling with? Are you playing this co op?

1145
01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:31.159
I'm playing co op, which makes
it harder to decide the people that I'm

1146
01:25:31.159 --> 01:25:34.520
gonna play with. Are you playing
with one of the person and then adding

1147
01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:41.239
the two AI. Yes, I
add a couple. AI. What A

1148
01:25:41.439 --> 01:25:45.439
what? AI? Are you gravitating
toward companions? I should say, uh,

1149
01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:48.920
let's see, I've been mixing them
up, which I'm not sure if

1150
01:25:49.239 --> 01:25:54.600
that's what you should be doing,
but I keep going back for inventory Management's

1151
01:25:54.600 --> 01:25:57.399
annoying as hell when you're mixing them
up. But it's like, that's what

1152
01:25:57.439 --> 01:26:01.319
I want to do more often than
not. But it I mentioned this last

1153
01:26:01.319 --> 01:26:05.760
episode. One of my chief complaints
is they still have not really addressed the

1154
01:26:05.800 --> 01:26:10.880
easiest way to share really cool loute. You're picking up between characters who are

1155
01:26:10.920 --> 01:26:16.680
not currently in your party. I
wish they would add something like that.

1156
01:26:16.800 --> 01:26:25.880
But Astarian and Lazelle and shadow Heart, am I go to companions killed all

1157
01:26:25.880 --> 01:26:31.319
of them right at the beginning.
Astarian is annoying to me. I know

1158
01:26:31.760 --> 01:26:47.359
everybody loves Sar, but I like
shadow Heart. Sorry so you don't like

1159
01:26:47.399 --> 01:26:55.600
a Starian. I just think he's
a lot and I feel like he's he's

1160
01:26:56.199 --> 01:27:00.439
nagging me all the time. I
like you, No, he likes me.

1161
01:27:00.479 --> 01:27:03.279
I just think he treats people he
likes like crap. Like I think

1162
01:27:03.279 --> 01:27:06.319
he's always like you wish you were. That isn't it hot? Though?

1163
01:27:09.640 --> 01:27:13.159
Are you not into that? I
guess not. Come on, Mary,

1164
01:27:13.239 --> 01:27:19.039
get into that with me? Why
starting getting Sorry? Sorry? I was

1165
01:27:19.720 --> 01:27:27.039
the PERV situation. That was my
cat. We're in a PERV situation.

1166
01:27:27.880 --> 01:27:32.359
We're in a PURV situation. Seventeen
terrorists have invaded a house in Portland,

1167
01:27:32.439 --> 01:27:36.920
Oregon. There's one man leading them. He's brandishing a knife, he says,

1168
01:27:38.840 --> 01:27:43.279
Mary love a Storian like I do. And then he's charging the house

1169
01:27:43.319 --> 01:27:46.920
and jumping at it Dick First and
shouting, this house won't let me in.

1170
01:27:47.680 --> 01:27:50.600
I mean, look, whenever you
jump at anything, it's it's got

1171
01:27:50.600 --> 01:27:54.479
to be Dick First, right,
if you're a villa like, that's the

1172
01:27:54.520 --> 01:27:58.720
first thing. That's why I would
write in my novel. And there he

1173
01:27:59.000 --> 01:28:04.199
was Dick First. It's a good
porn star name Dick First First. Private

1174
01:28:04.199 --> 01:28:12.039
Eye. Yeah, the first Frog
detective series I've ever played. Dick First,

1175
01:28:12.199 --> 01:28:16.159
Private Eye, Dick First, and
his Private's Eye, Private Dick Private.

1176
01:28:17.720 --> 01:28:25.840
The Curse of the Whore Island Shadow. That was the That was the

1177
01:28:25.880 --> 01:28:29.439
first title that mebe Me tried with
that game. They got turned down by

1178
01:28:29.439 --> 01:28:34.760
the publisher. No, we won't
publish a game called Whore Island. It's

1179
01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:43.079
a stealth tactics. Remember Desperados three. We wanted to call that fuck Nuts

1180
01:28:43.119 --> 01:28:49.680
Extravaganza. You'll be sorry, Uh
Mary, what else have you been playing?

1181
01:28:50.680 --> 01:28:57.159
I played a little bit of Amnesia
Bunker. Yeah, New Amnesia.

1182
01:28:57.319 --> 01:29:01.840
It's really scary and very well on. Love the concept of it that you're

1183
01:29:01.880 --> 01:29:08.680
in a bunker and uh, this
might shock you. So you're in a

1184
01:29:08.760 --> 01:29:17.840
bunker. Dan looks like he's like
concentrating on saying, you're in a bunker

1185
01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:24.640
and there's only one way out and
you need to like have an explosion.

1186
01:29:24.760 --> 01:29:30.479
So I have to find like TNT
and I have to find handles that I

1187
01:29:30.520 --> 01:29:33.159
can push down the TNT, you
know, like wildly coyote. And so

1188
01:29:33.199 --> 01:29:39.439
you're like running around, but the
whole area has a monster in the rafters

1189
01:29:39.520 --> 01:29:44.720
and he can find you based on
noise. And just like in the original

1190
01:29:44.720 --> 01:29:48.720
Amnesia, how they wouldn't give you
enough matches and this one they give you

1191
01:29:49.079 --> 01:29:57.439
a flashlight that's operated by a pulse
string and it makes a noise when you

1192
01:29:57.560 --> 01:30:01.520
pull it mechanic. Yeah, so
you're constantly like pulling this flashlight to have

1193
01:30:01.600 --> 01:30:04.640
power because it's really scary in the
dark, but every time you do it,

1194
01:30:04.640 --> 01:30:11.560
you're like, and then the monster's
like you can hear him in the

1195
01:30:12.760 --> 01:30:17.600
floor running around, and he's really
scary looking, so it's like you versus

1196
01:30:17.640 --> 01:30:23.640
the darkness essentially. You can also
get gas canisters that turn on the electricity

1197
01:30:23.680 --> 01:30:28.960
like the lights in the area,
but again very scary. Not enough gas,

1198
01:30:29.119 --> 01:30:31.079
let me tell you, there is
not enough gas in that game,

1199
01:30:31.199 --> 01:30:36.359
and so you're just constantly winding up
your flashlight trying to get through. It's

1200
01:30:36.399 --> 01:30:40.920
absolutely terrifying. I'll probably play more
of it, especially during spooky season,

1201
01:30:40.960 --> 01:30:45.439
which we're getting into. Summer's over. I just called it's Spooptober. We're

1202
01:30:45.479 --> 01:30:50.880
getting into it. Scary games.
No, sorry, I'm sorry it'd be

1203
01:30:50.920 --> 01:30:56.439
the person tell you this, but
this is Halloween, it's happening, and

1204
01:30:57.039 --> 01:31:00.439
I'm getting really excited about playing scary
games again. I've already picked out my

1205
01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:08.399
costume. I've I've bought bats on
Amazon. It's happening live bats, no

1206
01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:13.119
like plastic ones that I can hang
from the side. We Yeah, it's

1207
01:31:13.159 --> 01:31:16.920
bat season, so I bought some
on Amazon today shipping. The coolest thing

1208
01:31:16.960 --> 01:31:25.039
about the bunker that when I realized
I really like this game. They don't

1209
01:31:25.119 --> 01:31:30.800
have a an in game map that's
like just a pause screen. It is

1210
01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:35.800
only you can only see maps in
the save rooms, where the generators also

1211
01:31:35.880 --> 01:31:40.680
are. Yeah, so the game
is very much based like early resid evils,

1212
01:31:40.760 --> 01:31:45.600
around save rooms where it's you know, safe, but also where you

1213
01:31:45.640 --> 01:31:49.600
can refill generators to power the electricity
which is constantly running out. But again

1214
01:31:49.800 --> 01:31:55.319
you kind of have to do those
risk reward decisions where it's like, well,

1215
01:31:55.520 --> 01:31:59.720
fuck, I know where that one
room is, but I really don't

1216
01:31:59.760 --> 01:32:02.880
want to charge my flashlight even though
it's dying and I'm pretty sure I hear

1217
01:32:02.920 --> 01:32:10.079
the monster an event near me like
Alien Isolation. But the maps are on

1218
01:32:10.159 --> 01:32:14.159
the wall. It's World War One. It's not like you have everybody's mapped

1219
01:32:14.159 --> 01:32:16.359
out. The bunkers were all rapidly
made during World War so it's not like

1220
01:32:16.439 --> 01:32:20.800
they have maps on their like quarterback
wristbands or anything. So it's a look

1221
01:32:20.800 --> 01:32:24.760
at the map on the wall kind
of memorize the route you want to take,

1222
01:32:25.319 --> 01:32:27.039
at least at the point of the
game I got to. I didn't

1223
01:32:27.039 --> 01:32:29.760
finish it midley, but you see
the map on the wall, You're like,

1224
01:32:29.800 --> 01:32:30.600
okay, fuck, it's gonna be
a right and then a left,

1225
01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:34.920
and then it's straight, and then
of course potentially you also have a gun

1226
01:32:35.600 --> 01:32:40.000
that will not kill the monster,
but will like stun it for a bit,

1227
01:32:40.880 --> 01:32:43.960
less and less as the game goes
on. But it's like, all

1228
01:32:44.039 --> 01:32:46.359
right, right, left, right, left, and hopefully there's gas in

1229
01:32:46.399 --> 01:32:49.600
that room where I can see a
room on the map, and then you're

1230
01:32:49.640 --> 01:32:51.880
getting close to it, the monster
comes out and you're like, well,

1231
01:32:51.880 --> 01:32:55.640
fuck, I guess I might as
well fire my gun because I'm close to

1232
01:32:55.640 --> 01:33:02.399
where the gasoline might be. The
way that game fucks with your decision making

1233
01:33:02.479 --> 01:33:10.319
faculties is really cool, and that
series, that developer of the Chinese Room

1234
01:33:10.319 --> 01:33:15.119
has done that really well for a
while. Yeah. I don't know if

1235
01:33:15.119 --> 01:33:21.279
The Bunker is their best game,
but it's really fucking good. Jake was

1236
01:33:21.319 --> 01:33:24.159
the one who's like, have you
played this yet? I was like no,

1237
01:33:24.239 --> 01:33:27.439
He's like, jump on it,
try it out. I like it

1238
01:33:27.520 --> 01:33:32.199
quite a bit like Amnesia as a
series is. I was thinking about this

1239
01:33:32.239 --> 01:33:35.439
recently because Caleb and my sister was
talking about wanting to play some like scary

1240
01:33:35.479 --> 01:33:41.119
games for Halloween season, and I
thought about Amnesia and how fucking terrifying that

1241
01:33:41.199 --> 01:33:43.520
was when it first came out,
But then I know there have been like

1242
01:33:43.760 --> 01:33:46.199
oh, the Amnesia Collection, there's
Amnesia Rebirth, and like I don't know

1243
01:33:46.239 --> 01:33:49.359
which one is, Like are the
remakes? Like if you were to play

1244
01:33:49.479 --> 01:33:54.079
Amnesia for the first time in twenty
twenty three and wanted to be a scary

1245
01:33:54.119 --> 01:34:00.479
experience, what is the go to? Honestly, I yeah, I was

1246
01:34:00.520 --> 01:34:04.359
gonna see. The original is still
really fucking good. Like I have not

1247
01:34:04.479 --> 01:34:08.199
kept up with the series in a
way that I maybe should have. The

1248
01:34:08.239 --> 01:34:12.239
Bunker is really good as well.
Like, I think the Bunker might connect

1249
01:34:12.359 --> 01:34:16.720
with a lot of modern game design
sensibilities like inventory. Man, there's a

1250
01:34:16.760 --> 01:34:20.880
lot of inventory management a Mary and
I haven't touched on, like certain supplies.

1251
01:34:20.920 --> 01:34:25.720
There's not just your flashlight and gun. There's also like certain rations,

1252
01:34:25.760 --> 01:34:30.520
certain supplies in your inventory. I
think the Bunker kind of actually modernizes it

1253
01:34:30.640 --> 01:34:38.720
the series in a way that works
really well for modern palettes. Honestly,

1254
01:34:38.720 --> 01:34:42.680
the Bunker might be your best bet. It's the most modern version, yeah,

1255
01:34:42.760 --> 01:34:45.960
because the original one might be.
I haven't played it in a long

1256
01:34:45.000 --> 01:34:50.239
time, so the Bunker is thought
of a lot of It does have some

1257
01:34:50.319 --> 01:34:56.039
issues, but I think for a
scary game, it immediately just as like,

1258
01:34:56.680 --> 01:35:00.319
here's a terrifying situation, like good
luck. The only thing that really

1259
01:35:00.319 --> 01:35:04.520
stresses me about the Bunker is like
I feel like I need a helper because

1260
01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:09.239
I'm not good at memorizing places on
a map I have and have not been

1261
01:35:09.319 --> 01:35:11.880
to. And I got stuck a
couple of times, like going to the

1262
01:35:11.960 --> 01:35:15.800
same rooms again and again and again
because I'm I'm not reading the map correctly,

1263
01:35:15.840 --> 01:35:19.079
and it's like in Resident Evil.
I think I would have also gotten

1264
01:35:19.119 --> 01:35:24.680
frustrated if Mike wasn't constantly like,
oh, you missed a room, go

1265
01:35:24.800 --> 01:35:28.680
back to go to the fourth door, that's where you want to go,

1266
01:35:28.800 --> 01:35:31.560
Like Mike would help me out of
situations where I'd get frustrated. Oh it's

1267
01:35:31.560 --> 01:35:34.800
a far cry from like Isaac Clark
putting a laser on the floor to say,

1268
01:35:34.880 --> 01:35:41.920
go here's my style. Yeah,
yeah, it's I honestly don't know

1269
01:35:42.000 --> 01:35:49.800
what kind of options the Bunker has
to avoid those I get that wouldn't be

1270
01:35:49.920 --> 01:35:59.199
the ideal situation for everybody. I
personally liked it as someone who I really

1271
01:35:59.239 --> 01:36:05.399
like when a game is like removes
as much UI as possible and makes a

1272
01:36:05.399 --> 01:36:09.560
lot of it. I hate the
term sounds like stuck up, like diagetic,

1273
01:36:09.800 --> 01:36:14.359
you know, like it makes sense
in universe. But I can also

1274
01:36:14.359 --> 01:36:16.159
one thousand percent see if you're not
like the best with a sense, like

1275
01:36:16.199 --> 01:36:19.840
innate sense of direction, that would
fucking suck. This game is like the

1276
01:36:19.920 --> 01:36:24.319
worst game to play if If that's
the case, so I can I can

1277
01:36:24.640 --> 01:36:28.840
empathize for sure. Yeah, but
it's still good though, very scary and

1278
01:36:29.119 --> 01:36:33.199
very effective, terrifying situation to put
me in. So it did its job.

1279
01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:43.039
Yeah, I like it. What
else have you been planning? Those

1280
01:36:43.079 --> 01:36:46.680
shadow technics? I I'm not I'm
not gonna I go on all the time

1281
01:36:46.680 --> 01:36:50.800
about Total War on this podcast.
I have a review for its newest DLC.

1282
01:36:51.760 --> 01:36:54.880
It's up on Polygon. Go read
it. I'll mention it at the

1283
01:36:54.960 --> 01:37:00.800
end of this episode. Two bare
bare essentials of that review or that there's

1284
01:37:00.800 --> 01:37:05.960
been a lot of controversies swirling around
that DLC with pricing creative assembly. The

1285
01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:14.319
developer has maintained the same price for
DLC even though you compare it to previous

1286
01:37:14.359 --> 01:37:18.359
DLC's at that price. And I
am the last I really hate assigning like

1287
01:37:18.600 --> 01:37:26.720
value to money to hours spent because
like one person's ten hours is another person's

1288
01:37:26.760 --> 01:37:30.279
twenty hours is another person's. Like
one person might find that worth fifty dollars,

1289
01:37:30.279 --> 01:37:33.000
another person might think that's a bit
steep, et cetera. But like,

1290
01:37:33.920 --> 01:37:38.039
there's been a lot of controversies swirling
around that DLC. But I played

1291
01:37:38.079 --> 01:37:41.680
it, and even outside of that, it was kind of unimpressive. But

1292
01:37:41.720 --> 01:37:46.119
go read my thoughts on Polygon.
And then I also spoke to a couple

1293
01:37:46.159 --> 01:37:54.079
of the creators of Warhammer forty k
Rogue Trader. Again, any Warhammer game

1294
01:37:54.159 --> 01:37:58.239
just kind of has the curse of
a very long belabored name. Just know

1295
01:37:58.359 --> 01:38:03.479
that Warhammer forty k Rogue is the
CRPG, the upcoming CRPG. They don't

1296
01:38:03.520 --> 01:38:08.760
have a solid release date yet,
But if you're enjoying Balder's Gate three,

1297
01:38:09.119 --> 01:38:13.640
it is that kind of RPG,
but in the Warhammer forty k universe.

1298
01:38:15.039 --> 01:38:18.840
Sci fi. But even if you're
not into Warhammer, it's sci fi.

1299
01:38:18.880 --> 01:38:23.760
It's like grim sci fi everything I
see of it. I played a bit

1300
01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:29.039
more of the beta, which is
out now on Steam. I honestly think

1301
01:38:29.079 --> 01:38:31.399
that game could not be launching at
a better time. You know, like

1302
01:38:31.439 --> 01:38:36.720
you got Walter's Gate three, kind
of making this the year of role playing

1303
01:38:36.760 --> 01:38:42.439
games. Starfield is going for this. You know, Bethesda's got its new

1304
01:38:42.520 --> 01:38:47.960
take on the role playing genre coming
out in a few days. But then

1305
01:38:48.319 --> 01:38:53.680
Henry cavill has signed on New Warhammer
forty k Amazon show. I just can't

1306
01:38:53.720 --> 01:38:59.319
imagine Rogue Trader launching at a better
time, assuming they do within the next

1307
01:38:59.479 --> 01:39:01.279
six months. That has not been
confirmed yet, but that game so far

1308
01:39:01.439 --> 01:39:09.119
is really fucking cool. Party building
is you know, party building in inventory

1309
01:39:09.159 --> 01:39:12.000
management are some of my favorite things, and that that game is going for

1310
01:39:12.039 --> 01:39:16.960
it with a forty k universe.
But yeah, that's all on Polygon nothing

1311
01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:24.800
else thoughts. The last one for
me, but I haven't played too much

1312
01:39:24.800 --> 01:39:30.640
of it, is The Cosmic Wheel
Sisterhood. It's a Tarot Devolver building game

1313
01:39:30.880 --> 01:39:35.560
by Devolver. I have a loving
history with Revolvers, so I usually play

1314
01:39:35.560 --> 01:39:41.279
almost anything that they release. This
game is a delight to look at.

1315
01:39:41.319 --> 01:39:45.960
It's absolutely gorgeous and it is very
well written. I will acknowledge early on

1316
01:39:46.039 --> 01:39:53.039
that it is talkie as This is
a game for people who are interested in

1317
01:39:53.199 --> 01:40:01.199
tarot or witchcraft or like telling future
and things like that. If that's not

1318
01:40:01.239 --> 01:40:03.800
your jam, you're not gonna like
this game. That's literally all it is.

1319
01:40:04.439 --> 01:40:08.119
But it is neat in the sense
that it puts you in a really

1320
01:40:08.119 --> 01:40:14.439
cool that the concept of the game
is really neat. You're essentially a witch

1321
01:40:15.000 --> 01:40:21.359
that's been cast on a rock in
the universe alone for a thousand years as

1322
01:40:21.399 --> 01:40:27.680
punishment for telling the future in a
way that you should not have. And

1323
01:40:27.720 --> 01:40:31.520
so you're punished by like being alone, and they remove your tarot deck,

1324
01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:38.039
and then a like celestial being comes
to you and is like, I want

1325
01:40:38.039 --> 01:40:42.399
to help you build a new deck, which is not I guess like not

1326
01:40:42.479 --> 01:40:45.159
allowed, but you start building your
own deck from scratch. So in this

1327
01:40:45.199 --> 01:40:49.760
game, if you're interested in tarot
readings, you obviously do taro readings and

1328
01:40:49.800 --> 01:40:54.279
you learn about the best ways to
make tarot and tell a story. What

1329
01:40:54.359 --> 01:40:57.760
I think is also neat about it
is you build your deck and it gives

1330
01:40:57.760 --> 01:41:01.840
you photoshop esque a bill at ease. So maybe you'll pick a snake,

1331
01:41:01.960 --> 01:41:06.880
or you'll pick like a like a
pregnant person and flowers, and then you

1332
01:41:06.920 --> 01:41:13.319
will build the card the way you
think it would look on your own deck.

1333
01:41:13.439 --> 01:41:16.960
So you get to build the card
to your visual likeness, and then

1334
01:41:17.439 --> 01:41:23.279
later someone will be like Hey,
tell my fortune, and you will pull

1335
01:41:23.399 --> 01:41:26.920
cards from the deck you just made, that you just designed, and that

1336
01:41:26.960 --> 01:41:30.159
will help tell that person's fortune and
move the story along. It's pretty interesting.

1337
01:41:30.760 --> 01:41:33.920
I don't always get into that kind
of stuff, but I think it

1338
01:41:33.960 --> 01:41:39.520
was absolutely. It's just stunningly written. It's very thoughtful, it's cheeky and

1339
01:41:39.640 --> 01:41:45.199
interesting. The characters are pretty dynamic. Again, the premise of being stuck

1340
01:41:45.239 --> 01:41:48.640
on a rock alone for a thousand
years is punishment for something I did makes

1341
01:41:48.640 --> 01:41:51.800
it pretty mad. And so they
ask you early on, like do you

1342
01:41:51.800 --> 01:41:57.119
want revenge? And I was immediately
like, yes I do, and like

1343
01:41:57.640 --> 01:42:01.079
I immediately took on the role of
this witch that's been harmed and essentially wants

1344
01:42:01.119 --> 01:42:03.880
to get revenge on the people who
harmed me. So I think it's neat.

1345
01:42:05.039 --> 01:42:09.239
I don't think it's for everybody,
just because of the very unique nature

1346
01:42:09.279 --> 01:42:14.039
of this and again how insanely talky
it is kind of can push you out

1347
01:42:14.079 --> 01:42:17.159
a little bit, but it's kept
me interested for as long as it is.

1348
01:42:17.199 --> 01:42:21.680
It also goes back and passed as
my like human life back on Earth,

1349
01:42:21.720 --> 01:42:27.199
which I think is interesting. I
built a pizza in one scene,

1350
01:42:27.439 --> 01:42:30.800
so they mix it up and let
you be like artistic in addition to letting

1351
01:42:30.800 --> 01:42:33.359
you tell fortunes. It's neat.
It's a cool concept. I like it.

1352
01:42:34.479 --> 01:42:43.760
Yeahs deconstruct team I believe made it
it. I'm always up for like

1353
01:42:44.079 --> 01:42:47.319
a new take on like deck building, rogue light elements, but I haven't

1354
01:42:47.359 --> 01:42:51.760
tried it out yet. Do you
do tarot card reading? You? I

1355
01:42:51.880 --> 01:42:58.399
have a deck. I really do
not do it like ever. I think

1356
01:42:58.399 --> 01:43:01.600
I probably do it once a year
with some buds. But when I do

1357
01:43:01.600 --> 01:43:04.800
do it, we try and get
into it and have fun with it and

1358
01:43:04.960 --> 01:43:08.640
make an evening of it. So
it's it's fun to do. But I

1359
01:43:08.880 --> 01:43:17.359
would not consider myself an enthusiast or
someone who does it seriously seriously. Yeah,

1360
01:43:17.439 --> 01:43:23.640
like I enjoy it as like a
hobbyist. And if you, I

1361
01:43:23.680 --> 01:43:28.000
guess like tarot card readings are,
is the basic gist of this is someone

1362
01:43:28.039 --> 01:43:31.000
who has never really gone into it. You have a deck, shuffle it

1363
01:43:31.079 --> 01:43:35.760
up, you lay it out on
a grid, and then you kind of

1364
01:43:35.840 --> 01:43:41.399
interpret them and make a story based
on how they've landed. Is that the

1365
01:43:41.439 --> 01:43:45.520
general just? Or am I butchering
it completely? Say it one more time?

1366
01:43:46.279 --> 01:43:49.880
You're like shuffling your tarot deck.
You're laying them out on a grid,

1367
01:43:50.359 --> 01:43:57.399
yep, whether it's three by three
or whatever. Yeah, where the

1368
01:43:57.479 --> 01:44:00.279
cards fall, their orientation has a
big part to do with it. And

1369
01:44:00.399 --> 01:44:03.600
are you just like kind of making
a story out of it. I know

1370
01:44:03.640 --> 01:44:09.560
there are probably deeper meanings to a
lot of the stuff happening. I'm kind

1371
01:44:09.560 --> 01:44:12.600
of just curious though, because a
lot of the movies and shows i've like

1372
01:44:13.000 --> 01:44:15.600
go into that and I never understand
it. It is interesting the way they

1373
01:44:15.680 --> 01:44:19.920
designed it so that you get some
choice in the tarot card reading, and

1374
01:44:19.920 --> 01:44:25.159
it also alludes to the idea that
yes, the person who is dealing and

1375
01:44:25.279 --> 01:44:28.680
saying this has a huge amount of
say and whether or not your fortune is

1376
01:44:28.680 --> 01:44:32.800
like positive, neutral, or negative, and how you handle that is really

1377
01:44:32.880 --> 01:44:38.359
self reflective. So in one of
them, a person comes to visit me

1378
01:44:39.039 --> 01:44:44.880
and she says, you can do
my future if you do yours in the

1379
01:44:44.960 --> 01:44:47.479
same poll, and I was like, okay, And so just like you

1380
01:44:47.520 --> 01:44:51.079
said, they give me two blank
card spaces, one for her future and

1381
01:44:51.079 --> 01:44:56.560
one for mine, and I pull
a card and I'm allowed to decide if

1382
01:44:56.600 --> 01:45:00.359
she gets it or I get it. Now, this is really interesting because

1383
01:45:00.720 --> 01:45:03.199
no card is ultimately evil, right, Like, there's no card that's like

1384
01:45:03.640 --> 01:45:10.039
the death card, right Like all
cards have positive and negative effects to them,

1385
01:45:10.600 --> 01:45:15.039
but where I determine to place that
card will give me the outcomes of

1386
01:45:15.079 --> 01:45:18.920
the fortunes. So if I give
it, if I have a card that's

1387
01:45:18.960 --> 01:45:27.399
mostly about giving and respect and like
love, and I give it to her,

1388
01:45:27.720 --> 01:45:32.880
she's probably going to have more options
for a positive fortune. But I

1389
01:45:32.880 --> 01:45:35.119
could also give it to myself,
so I get all these options. But

1390
01:45:35.159 --> 01:45:39.520
even when I do give it to
her, usually it will give me different

1391
01:45:39.560 --> 01:45:43.800
fortunes that I can tell her based
on my interpretation of the card. So

1392
01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:47.039
one of them might be, hey, you're gonna be you're pregnant, or

1393
01:45:47.039 --> 01:45:51.079
another one is is you're going to
get you're going to be in a war

1394
01:45:51.680 --> 01:45:56.319
and you're going to make a huge
faction that's going to change the game.

1395
01:45:56.560 --> 01:46:00.600
And I pulled another card once that
was nothing you do matters, like don't

1396
01:46:00.600 --> 01:46:03.560
worry about it, which is which
is a crazy fortune to give someone Literally

1397
01:46:03.640 --> 01:46:06.640
nothing that you do in life matters, so like I would just not worry

1398
01:46:06.640 --> 01:46:11.399
about it. And I played that
and the person was like sick, I

1399
01:46:11.439 --> 01:46:14.479
don't care, and then like like
drank and was like, I'm over it.

1400
01:46:14.800 --> 01:46:17.720
So you get to choose the card, but you also get to choose

1401
01:46:17.720 --> 01:46:21.800
your interpretation of the card, and
you get to and it apparently alters the

1402
01:46:21.840 --> 01:46:27.039
direction, right because this character the
premise of the game is that all of

1403
01:46:27.079 --> 01:46:31.600
my fortunes do come true. So
if I interpret a card that Dan will

1404
01:46:31.640 --> 01:46:35.159
die, he does die. But
it's my choice whether or not. I

1405
01:46:35.439 --> 01:46:40.439
choose the card and play it for
Dan, and then I interpret it positively,

1406
01:46:40.560 --> 01:46:44.600
negatively neutrally for him. So I
have a lot of say and like

1407
01:46:44.640 --> 01:46:48.359
what's happening to these characters? So
that sounds like it needs to allow for

1408
01:46:48.800 --> 01:46:56.279
quite a few branching paths. I
haven't gotten that far yet, but it's

1409
01:46:56.560 --> 01:47:00.399
very alluring so far of like what
well, but I mean, if you're

1410
01:47:00.439 --> 01:47:01.720
flipped a card that, like,
if you interpret it as a way that

1411
01:47:01.760 --> 01:47:09.079
like X character is gonna die and
that happens, wouldn't that potentially be super

1412
01:47:09.079 --> 01:47:13.319
different than what someone else has played
the game? Yeah, it's definitely.

1413
01:47:14.119 --> 01:47:17.560
Uh, it definitely will change based
on first to person for all those different

1414
01:47:18.239 --> 01:47:21.960
different pieces. I don't get a
lot of options for like death. I

1415
01:47:21.960 --> 01:47:28.079
could say most of the options are
things like Most of the options are things

1416
01:47:28.159 --> 01:47:30.800
like you're gonna get fired or you're
gonna get promoted, like they're not that

1417
01:47:30.920 --> 01:47:35.720
dramatic, but there has been ones
that are like that's it, gotcha.

1418
01:47:35.880 --> 01:47:42.199
Yeah. Nicole Carpenter Polygon wrote about
that. She liked it. Yeah,

1419
01:47:42.239 --> 01:47:45.079
the writing is great. It's just
a matter of whether or not you like

1420
01:47:45.199 --> 01:47:47.560
tarot. Have you ever gotten your
Fortune? Red? Dan? You got

1421
01:47:47.560 --> 01:47:51.279
your fortune? Red? I remember
that a few times. Jake Decker in

1422
01:47:51.319 --> 01:47:56.319
Belgium, done in the New Orleans
a couple of times. Jackson Square,

1423
01:47:56.960 --> 01:47:58.720
Yeah, yeah, I haven't done
a few times. What did they I

1424
01:47:59.079 --> 01:48:01.119
put no actual stock into anything.
I don't believe any of that, but

1425
01:48:01.199 --> 01:48:04.960
it's a fun, silly thing to
do. What did the guy in Belgium

1426
01:48:05.039 --> 01:48:12.600
say to you? So I got
the like nine of Swords card, which

1427
01:48:12.760 --> 01:48:16.000
was apparently like the fucking worst ever, but it was in my past slot.

1428
01:48:16.479 --> 01:48:19.600
So basically she was saying like,
oh, okay, so you went

1429
01:48:19.600 --> 01:48:24.119
through some shit. This shit sucked, but then like the ones going forward,

1430
01:48:24.279 --> 01:48:27.439
we're better. And then like my
My Future one, which is like

1431
01:48:27.520 --> 01:48:30.159
Harmony one where it's like a guy
with I forgot what the name of the

1432
01:48:30.159 --> 01:48:32.319
card is. It's it's a guy
in a lady holden hands in there.

1433
01:48:32.439 --> 01:48:34.920
You see their backs and she was
like, oh yeah, so you know

1434
01:48:34.960 --> 01:48:39.720
you you got past this hard nine
of swords stuff and now your future is

1435
01:48:39.920 --> 01:48:43.720
harmony and you found a good spot
and everything and things are looking up going

1436
01:48:43.760 --> 01:48:48.159
forward. So that's good. Nice. Yeah, never had mine read.

1437
01:48:50.319 --> 01:48:54.000
I think you should get it done
once, you know what. I actually

1438
01:48:54.039 --> 01:48:57.039
have a deck in the house,
so I can. I can do it.

1439
01:48:58.000 --> 01:49:00.840
Game of the Year. Yeah,
read my fortune. See how I

1440
01:49:00.880 --> 01:49:08.800
feel about it. I'll figure out
how your fiery explosion takes place a little

1441
01:49:08.840 --> 01:49:12.319
bit. I'd like to expect an
explosion before I dive head first into it.

1442
01:49:13.279 --> 01:49:16.159
Ah, this is how it ends, he says. Dick first,

1443
01:49:17.079 --> 01:49:26.840
Yeah, I'm diving into the explosion. First piece out sticks out penis to

1444
01:49:27.199 --> 01:49:32.319
my Dick is always body up front. I've always got quite a tent in

1445
01:49:32.319 --> 01:49:33.760
front of me. I mean,
yeah, if you have an erection,

1446
01:49:33.800 --> 01:49:36.880
it's always like that. Twenty four
seven. Do you guys want to talk

1447
01:49:36.880 --> 01:49:42.319
about Do you guys want to do
emails? Yeah, talk about emails.

1448
01:49:42.640 --> 01:49:45.439
Let's talk about them. You let's
talk about emails. Emails. Do you

1449
01:49:45.439 --> 01:49:48.159
guys want to talk about emails do
it? How do they work? All?

1450
01:49:48.279 --> 01:49:51.640
Right? As usually, you can
write into firescapecast at gmail dot com

1451
01:49:51.680 --> 01:49:56.439
if you have questions, comments,
concerns, or corrections, which I normally

1452
01:49:57.319 --> 01:50:03.520
tossing the trace, but actually last
episode we were talking about Oppenheimer and Barbie,

1453
01:50:03.680 --> 01:50:09.800
specifically those two movies combined with Barbenheimer
and Dan. I think you had

1454
01:50:09.800 --> 01:50:15.920
asked what the video game release schedule
equivalent would be for like a Barbenheimer,

1455
01:50:15.960 --> 01:50:21.359
and we started theory crafting a bunch. I think Metal Gear Solid combined with

1456
01:50:26.479 --> 01:50:29.920
some cozy game that Mary mentioned might
have been one of the ones we settled

1457
01:50:30.000 --> 01:50:33.479
on. However, Blake from Arkansas
rode in pointing out to one time it

1458
01:50:33.600 --> 01:50:38.319
actually happened, not all that long
ago, high escapees. I don't know

1459
01:50:38.359 --> 01:50:41.560
if this is a correction or a
comment parentheses, Please don't delete this mic,

1460
01:50:42.079 --> 01:50:45.159
but we actually had the Barbenheimer video
games in twenty twenty when Animal Crossing

1461
01:50:45.159 --> 01:50:49.880
and Do Maternal came out the same
week, in the gaming community embraced the

1462
01:50:49.880 --> 01:50:56.000
crossover that was Blake from Arkansas.
Yes, yeah, I also the week

1463
01:50:56.079 --> 01:51:00.800
of like the Lockdown starting basically due
right, and they did crossover art,

1464
01:51:00.840 --> 01:51:04.600
didn't they wear the Animal Crossing character
was like wearing Doom gear, which is

1465
01:51:04.720 --> 01:51:10.279
very funny. Were the same stuff
day those two games? March twentieth,

1466
01:51:10.319 --> 01:51:13.399
twenty twenty, They might have been. Can I look, Mary, you

1467
01:51:13.399 --> 01:51:18.479
look up Animal Crossing New Horizons release
date? Okay, Mortal Kombat nine and

1468
01:51:19.600 --> 01:51:23.840
Portal two were the same day.
But Animal Crossing and Doom Maternal are like

1469
01:51:23.840 --> 01:51:28.560
a way better example of that.
Barbonehid March twenty twenty. I thought were

1470
01:51:28.600 --> 01:51:30.840
going to say at the same time. Oh, sorry, yeah, it

1471
01:51:30.880 --> 01:51:38.479
was the same day. Ready,
Uno dos treys go March twenty twenty.

1472
01:51:39.880 --> 01:51:44.920
Wow the dead so good, thanks
Blake. So yeah, we already had

1473
01:51:44.920 --> 01:51:49.520
our barbeheimer in March twentieth. Correction. That's the best correction I've ever seen,

1474
01:51:49.760 --> 01:51:51.800
the only good correction. All right, Mary, do you want to

1475
01:51:51.800 --> 01:51:59.840
read this one? From Andrew B
from San Marcos, Texas? Okay,

1476
01:52:00.119 --> 01:52:02.159
hello, fires, Who is the
sign off? What? How does he

1477
01:52:02.279 --> 01:52:05.359
know that? All right? Anyway, we'll get to that. Sorry you

1478
01:52:05.359 --> 01:52:11.319
can't read this, read on it
copy paste of shit. I don't screen

1479
01:52:11.359 --> 01:52:15.199
it beforehand. That's what I did
when I tweeted, I wasn't actually reading

1480
01:52:15.199 --> 01:52:19.960
it. I copied it. I
admitted we got admitted we got one professional

1481
01:52:20.039 --> 01:52:24.600
on staff, and then we got
Mike and Mary. I'm the professional.

1482
01:52:24.920 --> 01:52:32.119
No Mary read this one, Skive
Dan the title professional. Fuck, I'm

1483
01:52:32.159 --> 01:52:38.399
just a literate Hello, fire Escape. With all the sex we've been having

1484
01:52:38.399 --> 01:52:42.399
in Palter's Gate three, I was
wondering you had had a weird experience while

1485
01:52:42.399 --> 01:52:46.199
playing a game with sex. I
remember shortly after the original God of War

1486
01:52:46.640 --> 01:52:50.359
I went to a pawn shop my
mom picked uh, my mom picked it

1487
01:52:50.439 --> 01:52:55.520
up for me because wait, I'm
not reading this right, I remember shortly

1488
01:52:56.000 --> 01:52:59.159
read sorry, I'm doing it again. Well, I can do it.

1489
01:52:59.279 --> 01:53:01.359
I remember only after the original God
of War came out, I went to

1490
01:53:01.399 --> 01:53:05.600
a pawn shop and my mom picked
it up for me because it looked cool

1491
01:53:05.720 --> 01:53:10.239
to my eight year old self.
And then I beat the Hydra and the

1492
01:53:10.279 --> 01:53:14.800
first level. In the living room. Start of the second level, Krados

1493
01:53:14.880 --> 01:53:17.920
leaves a bed with two nude women. My mom was right in the room

1494
01:53:18.000 --> 01:53:23.279
next to me in the kitchen.
I immediately turned the game off, deleted

1495
01:53:23.319 --> 01:53:26.399
the data, and gave the game
to my older cousin. I haven't played

1496
01:53:26.439 --> 01:53:30.479
it since. Thanks for reading.
Andrew B. From San Marcos, Texas.

1497
01:53:30.720 --> 01:53:34.159
You're only real fan from here.
Wow, how do you know,

1498
01:53:34.359 --> 01:53:41.319
Andrew that you're maybe maybe someone else
from San Marcos is written in and we

1499
01:53:41.319 --> 01:53:45.720
didn't know? Prove it, San
Marcos Sans. If you're from San Marcos

1500
01:53:45.720 --> 01:53:50.640
and you're a real fan, I
want to hear from you fans. We

1501
01:53:50.680 --> 01:53:54.800
should do Game of the Year in
San Marcos, Texas and then see how

1502
01:53:54.800 --> 01:53:57.680
many people show up and then rubbing
Andrew's face. When a bunch of people

1503
01:53:57.720 --> 01:54:03.079
do, it's Jesse. And so
the funniest thing here is that Andrew did

1504
01:54:03.079 --> 01:54:08.039
not mention the fact that you can
correct me if I'm misremembering this, go

1505
01:54:08.159 --> 01:54:12.000
back to said bed in God of
War and do the mini game to bang

1506
01:54:12.119 --> 01:54:15.079
the women again. Yeah, I
think you can't. I think you can

1507
01:54:15.079 --> 01:54:19.560
do it repeatedly and you get less
and less red orbs every time. Right,

1508
01:54:19.600 --> 01:54:25.479
they got really gross with it because
yeah, yep, but I guess

1509
01:54:25.479 --> 01:54:28.479
at this point he wouldn't do that
if his mom was immediately like, well,

1510
01:54:28.520 --> 01:54:33.520
we gotta fucking give this back to
your older cousin. Oh weird section.

1511
01:54:36.039 --> 01:54:40.399
I mean, I haven't played the
entirety of Duke Knucombe forever pre release.

1512
01:54:40.479 --> 01:54:43.479
While Randy Pitchford was in a chair
behind me watching me play for eight

1513
01:54:43.479 --> 01:54:45.439
hours straight. I don't know if
that counts. The game is there a

1514
01:54:45.479 --> 01:54:47.640
lot of sexuals? I mean,
I know it's duke. Yeah yeah,

1515
01:54:47.680 --> 01:54:50.119
But I guess I was, you
know, I was an adult. It

1516
01:54:50.239 --> 01:54:56.600
was a weird circumstance. My mom
wouldn't let me rent Final Fantasy seven because

1517
01:54:57.039 --> 01:54:59.479
it wouldn't wouldn't let me rent,
but she was just like gave me shit

1518
01:54:59.640 --> 01:55:01.800
for like she said it was a
porn game because I had Fantasy and the

1519
01:55:01.800 --> 01:55:04.640
title. And then when I got
tomb Raiders, she saw the cover and

1520
01:55:04.640 --> 01:55:06.479
she's like, oh, okay,
I know what you want that game,

1521
01:55:06.720 --> 01:55:12.159
but nothing too crazy there tomb Raider
and never gets nudie though, no,

1522
01:55:12.319 --> 01:55:15.760
but there's some crazy boob stuff going
on and the covers of those original ones.

1523
01:55:16.640 --> 01:55:21.199
So it has taken me a bit. And I'm trying to remember whether

1524
01:55:21.199 --> 01:55:26.880
we talked about this on fire Skate. But when I was young and my

1525
01:55:26.960 --> 01:55:31.960
older brothers were very understandably excited for
Perfect Dark because Rare was releasing the shooter

1526
01:55:32.039 --> 01:55:34.720
on the same engine from Golden Eye, and it was like it's all new,

1527
01:55:34.880 --> 01:55:41.479
like kind of its own spy shooter
kind of thing. They were doing

1528
01:55:42.960 --> 01:55:51.680
they rented it from Wegmans before they
bought it, and at some point it

1529
01:55:51.840 --> 01:55:57.800
got thrown around because the game was
rated M. It got thrown around my

1530
01:55:57.960 --> 01:56:02.119
house, and I keep mine.
I'm like seven years from my closest brother

1531
01:56:02.760 --> 01:56:09.119
that at the beginning of a certain
version of the game, Joanna Dark in

1532
01:56:09.159 --> 01:56:13.399
the intro cut scene gets out of
bed, half naked, wrapped in a

1533
01:56:13.640 --> 01:56:17.000
sheet like a bedsheet to go to
the computer where doctor Carol is saying,

1534
01:56:17.039 --> 01:56:24.199
like, here's your next mission.
I assume that was actually true growing up.

1535
01:56:25.159 --> 01:56:30.680
I don't know if like my brothers
were fucking with my mom in order

1536
01:56:30.760 --> 01:56:33.800
for me not to be annoying them
watching it, which that does not sound

1537
01:56:33.840 --> 01:56:36.720
like my brothers. We've always been
close and like they've always been super like,

1538
01:56:38.039 --> 01:56:41.319
come come play Golden Eye. Well
when my mom and dad are not

1539
01:56:41.359 --> 01:56:45.439
looking like I don't maybe it was
one of their friends. I really don't

1540
01:56:45.640 --> 01:56:48.560
have the memory of how it actually
happened. I only have the memory of

1541
01:56:49.640 --> 01:56:55.199
thinking that there was like a rated
M version of Perfect Dark where Joanna Dark

1542
01:56:55.239 --> 01:56:59.640
gets out of bed in those sheets, or maybe one of my brothers would

1543
01:56:59.640 --> 01:57:02.359
just being a perv and said that. I don't think that's true. I

1544
01:57:02.359 --> 01:57:04.520
don't either. I looked it up. It's not. It's not a thing.

1545
01:57:05.039 --> 01:57:08.399
So I'm like, where the fuck
did I get that? It's like

1546
01:57:08.439 --> 01:57:13.840
the Bears kind of thing. I'm
like, why I could have sworn that

1547
01:57:13.880 --> 01:57:15.960
was a thing. Then I was
thinking, like, is it like the

1548
01:57:16.039 --> 01:57:20.359
facility all paintball motor all guns cheat
from Golden Eye, Like maybe you need

1549
01:57:20.399 --> 01:57:26.560
to beat the first mission in Perfect
Dark and under sixty seconds. It has

1550
01:57:26.640 --> 01:57:31.520
never existed, But from that moment
onward, I always associated the M rating

1551
01:57:31.880 --> 01:57:40.479
from the ESRB with sexual content specifically, and yeah, you get a little

1552
01:57:40.479 --> 01:57:43.079
away with a lot of violence in
a team rate again, but yeah,

1553
01:57:43.079 --> 01:57:45.840
it's once like you know boobs are
involved, that's where you're going m ao.

1554
01:57:46.319 --> 01:57:49.880
Yeah, but no, I trust
me. I did everything in Perfect

1555
01:57:49.960 --> 01:57:56.279
Dark. I could never find that
boob cut scene. It's just still play.

1556
01:57:56.279 --> 01:57:58.479
It's day trying to find it.
A man, just like you're playing

1557
01:57:58.520 --> 01:58:02.560
this game again, I'm like,
Joanna's apparently half naked and some intro cut

1558
01:58:02.560 --> 01:58:06.279
scene I still don't have. I
remember seventh grade, this guy Colin and

1559
01:58:06.359 --> 01:58:09.760
my junior high was saying that like, oh yeah, tomb Raider, you

1560
01:58:09.760 --> 01:58:13.359
can if you in the training section. If you jump off the chandelier and

1561
01:58:13.359 --> 01:58:15.600
you do a perfect dive into Lara's
pool, when she comes out, she'll

1562
01:58:15.640 --> 01:58:20.079
be naked, and like, at
that age, the holy grail of life

1563
01:58:20.159 --> 01:58:26.279
would be to have a way to
look at boobs without any chance of my

1564
01:58:26.319 --> 01:58:30.239
mother finding out, because like at
that time, like there's no way she

1565
01:58:30.279 --> 01:58:32.960
wouldn't know how to turn the PlayStation
on, like much less go to do

1566
01:58:33.000 --> 01:58:35.920
a perfect dive of larising. That's
perfect. I could just I could just

1567
01:58:35.960 --> 01:58:40.720
see boobs anytime. Mom would be
totally you know, it's fool proof.

1568
01:58:40.760 --> 01:58:45.479
And I spent hours and hours and
hours and hours and bullishit. I don't

1569
01:58:45.560 --> 01:58:50.000
think it was that awkward, but
I'll never forget the first time I played

1570
01:58:50.119 --> 01:58:57.800
Silent Hell Too and I saw the
sex scene with pyramid Head. I think

1571
01:58:57.800 --> 01:59:03.960
it was a sex scene. They
was definite thrusting and stuff going on,

1572
01:59:04.319 --> 01:59:09.039
but I was with my friend Nina, so it wasn't like wasn't like my

1573
01:59:09.119 --> 01:59:14.119
mom's was there. But I will
say I was not prepared for the sex

1574
01:59:14.159 --> 01:59:17.800
scene, Like I don't think I
had myself mentally that that was going to

1575
01:59:17.840 --> 01:59:23.000
happen, and it's pretty fucked up. So I think that one sticks with

1576
01:59:23.000 --> 01:59:26.840
me, like I think about that
when I am surprised by video games sex

1577
01:59:26.880 --> 01:59:32.520
scenes. Oh fuck, this isn't
a video game. I just uh fuck,

1578
01:59:32.640 --> 01:59:38.960
I just accidentally accessed the memory I
clearly was Is it the Bay of

1579
01:59:39.000 --> 01:59:45.039
Pigs? No, Oh my god, this is awkward. I remember one

1580
01:59:45.079 --> 01:59:48.039
of my it's always my siblings.
I remember one of my brothers and all

1581
01:59:48.079 --> 01:59:51.960
my brothers just visited New York the
other day to bring me out for like

1582
01:59:51.960 --> 01:59:57.159
a bachelor party family dinner. It
was super fun, but we were like

1583
01:59:57.199 --> 02:00:00.279
strolling down memory lane during dinner,
as you do with people you grew up

1584
02:00:00.319 --> 02:00:09.199
with, and one of them brought
up how they convinced my dad. My

1585
02:00:09.239 --> 02:00:12.960
mom was out of town with my
sister for a family thing, and one

1586
02:00:12.960 --> 02:00:21.000
of them convinced my dad when I
was twelve that the movie seven would it

1587
02:00:21.039 --> 02:00:27.840
would be like a fun family movie
to watch. Nah. Seven's a fucking

1588
02:00:27.840 --> 02:00:33.319
incredible movie. However, death Yep, you went right to the scene I

1589
02:00:33.399 --> 02:00:39.000
was gonna reference. I'm trying to
think the whole thing's unpleasant, but like

1590
02:00:39.039 --> 02:00:46.720
that one in particular is like,
oh yikes. The sense memory I'm having

1591
02:00:46.840 --> 02:00:55.279
right now of flashing back to in
the family room in my split level suburban

1592
02:00:55.319 --> 02:01:01.800
house in Liverpool, New York,
is watching that scene where he's interrogating guy

1593
02:01:01.840 --> 02:01:05.640
who did it, who was forced
to do it with the sword dildo,

1594
02:01:06.800 --> 02:01:12.199
and he's crying and like he made
me fuck hers? Like what? And

1595
02:01:12.319 --> 02:01:16.520
my dad is like what is going
on? And my brother's like wow,

1596
02:01:16.560 --> 02:01:21.840
I don't remember this scene. And
if anything could be more of a vile,

1597
02:01:23.079 --> 02:01:28.520
like violently sexually explicit thing that I
had to watch with one of my

1598
02:01:28.600 --> 02:01:34.600
parents right there, it was that
scene. It was the the death that

1599
02:01:34.640 --> 02:01:40.800
was based around lust. Lust in
seven. Yeah, well the rest of

1600
02:01:40.800 --> 02:01:43.159
the movie is disturbing, but it's
like, oh, this guy was force

1601
02:01:43.239 --> 02:01:45.960
fed spaghetti for weeks, or this
guy was confined to his bed for a

1602
02:01:46.000 --> 02:01:50.079
year and a half, or her
face was cut off for pride. Like

1603
02:01:50.119 --> 02:01:54.880
okay, whatever, me and my
dad can we can deal with that.

1604
02:01:55.039 --> 02:01:58.399
I can handle a woman getting her
face cut off, but I draw the

1605
02:01:58.520 --> 02:02:03.439
line at dick stop. I would
rather my face off than being fucked with

1606
02:02:03.479 --> 02:02:08.239
a sword. It's okay, Well, let's not get into this. I

1607
02:02:08.319 --> 02:02:14.920
just yeah, congratulations Andrew, you
just maybe relive a lot of this to

1608
02:02:15.079 --> 02:02:19.560
anyway. Thank you. Going back
in the vault. People should watch seven.

1609
02:02:20.600 --> 02:02:24.960
I have watched. Seven remains one
of the few movies in the last

1610
02:02:25.000 --> 02:02:29.520
decade that I have watched. I
watched on a rainy day in San Francisco.

1611
02:02:30.079 --> 02:02:33.840
As soon as the credits stopped,
it was like, you want to

1612
02:02:33.840 --> 02:02:38.039
watch that again, and we watched
it again. That that movie is really

1613
02:02:38.079 --> 02:02:43.680
fucking good. It's it's it holds
up. It's quite good. Mood writing,

1614
02:02:43.840 --> 02:02:46.880
overall, scripting, acting, Yep, it's very David Fincher, but

1615
02:02:47.039 --> 02:02:51.600
in the good ways. For sure. I love that movie. But thank

1616
02:02:51.640 --> 02:02:58.640
you Andrew for making me walk painfully
down memory lane. Thank you. All

1617
02:02:58.760 --> 02:03:03.640
right, Dan, This one's you
from Brock in Las Vegas. What four

1618
02:03:03.880 --> 02:03:09.119
fast food items would be on your
mount rushmore? In mine? When I

1619
02:03:09.119 --> 02:03:11.800
say mine, this is Brock in
Las Vegas. This is not me.

1620
02:03:11.880 --> 02:03:16.239
I'll say mine. Brocks is egg
rolls from Jack in the Box, sausage

1621
02:03:16.319 --> 02:03:21.760
McMuffin with egg McDonald's chicken, cause
of the taco bell adobo rice, jolly

1622
02:03:21.840 --> 02:03:25.600
be Okay, he's one for four, Brock. Listen, what was your

1623
02:03:26.920 --> 02:03:30.960
sausage McMuffin? No, first one? You take the egg off there if

1624
02:03:30.960 --> 02:03:33.239
the sausage McMuffin is fine if you
take the egg off. The number one,

1625
02:03:33.279 --> 02:03:38.479
the George Washington spot on Mount Rushmore
is the chicken case Ofia. That's

1626
02:03:38.479 --> 02:03:41.239
the one he had, right,
that is Yeah, chicken case is pretty

1627
02:03:41.279 --> 02:03:45.520
good from Taco Bells. You that's
your number one? Yeah, well okay,

1628
02:03:45.560 --> 02:03:49.720
that's that's the mainstay my entire like
adult life. Yeah, that's incredible.

1629
02:03:50.159 --> 02:03:55.159
I will say the current best fast
food item in the world is the

1630
02:03:55.159 --> 02:04:03.319
Popeyees chicken sandwich. Sandwich is so
good, sucking unrolled at your residence wherever

1631
02:04:03.359 --> 02:04:06.359
it might beat in and it's really
good. I went out of my way

1632
02:04:06.399 --> 02:04:10.399
to eat that. It's so good. I've I drove, you know,

1633
02:04:10.680 --> 02:04:14.439
when you do like stop along the
way. I did one when I did

1634
02:04:14.479 --> 02:04:19.279
like a fifteen mile detour to get
a spicy chicken sandwich. Those are so

1635
02:04:19.399 --> 02:04:23.399
good. And I was skeptical because
like they was such a big thing that

1636
02:04:23.520 --> 02:04:26.840
was like all over like social media
and the and the news and stuff like,

1637
02:04:26.840 --> 02:04:29.319
oh my god, there's lines outside
of every Popeyes, and like I

1638
02:04:29.479 --> 02:04:31.000
never fucking thought of Popeyes before,
and I was like, there's no way

1639
02:04:31.000 --> 02:04:33.119
this chicken sandwich is that fucking good. All Right, I got it,

1640
02:04:33.159 --> 02:04:35.920
and I was like, that's the
most perfect wait sorry, so say so

1641
02:04:36.760 --> 02:04:45.840
chicken and then Popeyes, uh,
chick spicy sandwich. Uh, the quarter

1642
02:04:45.880 --> 02:04:48.319
pounder with cheese from McDonald's. And
I'm trying to get I'm trying to not

1643
02:04:48.359 --> 02:04:50.760
just pick like two McDonald's two taco
bell you know, I could go cheese,

1644
02:04:50.840 --> 02:04:53.880
Gordy to cry and tri McDonald's cry. Do you think we should try

1645
02:04:53.880 --> 02:04:56.479
and get a holistic meal? Like
shouldn't there be a fry in there?

1646
02:04:56.560 --> 02:05:00.079
Or no? Well, if we're
saying fries, okay, so uh the

1647
02:05:00.079 --> 02:05:03.000
Mount Rushmore. I think the McDonald's
fries are the the amber waves of grain

1648
02:05:03.159 --> 02:05:11.680
surrounding it. But you know it
should I think I think Wendy's spicy chicken

1649
02:05:11.760 --> 02:05:15.119
nuggets. I think that would be
because I was gonna say chicken McNuggets,

1650
02:05:15.119 --> 02:05:19.399
which are amazing. But no,
okay. I appreciate the poetry the imagery,

1651
02:05:19.720 --> 02:05:23.039
and we can get into that,
but I want to know what the

1652
02:05:23.079 --> 02:05:28.319
four presidents are on your You got
the Caseydia? Okay, well the Caseys

1653
02:05:28.439 --> 02:05:30.199
Washington is like the oldest president,
right, He's been around forever. So

1654
02:05:30.239 --> 02:05:34.279
that's the case Ofdia, who's like
the hip young on the scene president of

1655
02:05:34.319 --> 02:05:38.479
Mount Rushmore. Yeah, the Popeye's
chicken. Say yeah, but who which

1656
02:05:38.600 --> 02:05:45.560
president is that on Mount More?
There's no hip president on Mount Rushmore.

1657
02:05:45.039 --> 02:05:51.039
I mean, who's there's hidis hippist
on Mount Rushmore. Who's the new Who's

1658
02:05:51.119 --> 02:05:59.880
the youngest president on Mount Rushmore?
Thomas Jefferson? Uh No, the jeff

1659
02:06:00.039 --> 02:06:04.840
Jefferson would not be the Whoever the
Teddy Roosevelt would be the youngest because Abraham

1660
02:06:04.840 --> 02:06:10.600
okay, and which is Teddy Roosevelt? No, would Abe Lincoln? Teddy

1661
02:06:10.680 --> 02:06:15.119
Roosevelt, Abe Lincoln's the quarter pounders. There was nothing in this question about

1662
02:06:15.199 --> 02:06:21.760
comparing presidents to these fast food pieces. It was just picking four. You

1663
02:06:21.840 --> 02:06:26.880
have over complicated me. Asking about
the comparing it, you have over complicated

1664
02:06:26.920 --> 02:06:30.520
it. Just say the four chicken
kiss, the quarter poinder cheese, Pope

1665
02:06:30.520 --> 02:06:33.760
Eyes chicken sandwich, Wendy's ficy chicken
nuggets. Okay, those are good amber

1666
02:06:33.800 --> 02:06:36.720
waves of grain or McDonald's fries.
No, you can't do that. You

1667
02:06:36.720 --> 02:06:39.800
can't just add that. No,
no, no, no, okay,

1668
02:06:39.800 --> 02:06:45.119
here's the clouds der mc flurries.
Here's okay, so, uh no,

1669
02:06:45.159 --> 02:06:49.399
the youngest would definitely be Teddy and
he is also, are still there,

1670
02:06:49.880 --> 02:06:55.000
no, because this is join us, Mike. This is interesting. Teddy

1671
02:06:55.319 --> 02:07:00.960
is the youngest, but also he's
like Abe Lincoln's kind of a badass in

1672
02:07:00.000 --> 02:07:03.439
many ways giving us press facts,
I mean, earn all the amount rushmore

1673
02:07:03.520 --> 02:07:08.399
ones like like they're they're because they
were like important good presidents, right,

1674
02:07:08.920 --> 02:07:12.319
they are important presidents. You can
look back on many ways they weren't good,

1675
02:07:12.319 --> 02:07:15.079
but like Theodore Roosevelt went up on
stage with a bullet that just got

1676
02:07:15.119 --> 02:07:18.680
lodged in him and like basically said
you'll need more than a twenty two to

1677
02:07:18.720 --> 02:07:21.199
take me down, and then gave
a speech with a twenty two. Like

1678
02:07:21.680 --> 02:07:26.279
the spicy Chicken Nuggets, he's the
badass, I would say of the group,

1679
02:07:26.359 --> 02:07:30.399
even though Abe Lincoln's sex to him. Yes, he spic Spicy Chicken

1680
02:07:30.479 --> 02:07:32.239
Nuggets might be the most badass on
here. So I think the Spicy Chicken

1681
02:07:32.319 --> 02:07:38.279
Us might be. I agree with
your Casadilla Washington comparison, being like the

1682
02:07:38.319 --> 02:07:45.800
steadfast made up there olds, but
like Thomas Jefferson would be Thomas Jefferson Jefferson

1683
02:07:45.960 --> 02:07:54.640
bad stuff. Yeah right, yeah
he was unsavory what fast food item?

1684
02:07:55.039 --> 02:08:07.319
Uh? I mean yeah, I
don't yeah, I don't know, like

1685
02:08:09.000 --> 02:08:16.199
Jake wish Cup, I just know. Okay, So like they all were

1686
02:08:16.239 --> 02:08:22.039
not great with that stuff. I'd
say maybe Teddy was more progressive, but

1687
02:08:22.119 --> 02:08:26.760
like I would also say that Thomas
Jefferson I don't think has done anything super

1688
02:08:26.800 --> 02:08:37.479
cool to Oh God, got Mike, if you get canceled for this,

1689
02:08:37.479 --> 02:08:43.279
this is the stupidest reason anyone's ever
gotten. Can because presidents to fast food.

1690
02:08:43.800 --> 02:08:54.920
Yeah, Thomas Jefferson just is kind
of a noamere four fast food pieces.

1691
02:08:56.920 --> 02:08:58.760
We're sucking up the whole Mount Rushmore
thing. Just if we're just one

1692
02:08:58.840 --> 02:09:03.359
of the not Rushmore sucks than I'm
gonna say that. It's like, uh

1693
02:09:03.560 --> 02:09:09.359
fucking half the items at Burger King
or the Thomas Jefferson you hate burger King.

1694
02:09:09.960 --> 02:09:13.479
It's not great. Oh so I
can't wait to get to mine because

1695
02:09:13.479 --> 02:09:20.359
I got some weirdos. That's what
people said about Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson great,

1696
02:09:24.479 --> 02:09:30.359
But we all agree that we like
Lincoln. Lincoln seems real cool.

1697
02:09:30.640 --> 02:09:35.239
We've discussed that Lincoln is a good
press, a top ched press, as

1698
02:09:35.319 --> 02:09:41.199
Mike said once, so not how
I used the I think it is no

1699
02:09:41.319 --> 02:09:46.359
Lincoln. No, Lincoln's like a
Big Mac. He's just like the best

1700
02:09:46.399 --> 02:09:50.039
thing in fast food to ever be
invented. Yeah, we like him,

1701
02:09:50.079 --> 02:09:56.039
and he never told a lie.
Big Mac never got assassinated. You don't

1702
02:09:56.079 --> 02:09:58.359
know that. I think you assassinated
a Big Mac probably like within the last

1703
02:09:58.359 --> 02:10:01.640
week. Look, I've even one
Big Mac in my life, and I

1704
02:10:01.760 --> 02:10:05.159
was weary of it the whole time. I've assassinated some bms in my time.

1705
02:10:07.760 --> 02:10:11.960
Yeah, yeah, sorry, Mary, you go, you do your

1706
02:10:11.000 --> 02:10:16.560
amount of rashmore. No, so
far off of the cliff. Now we

1707
02:10:16.039 --> 02:10:20.680
gotta go around the horn. Dan's
got the casa, a quarter pounder,

1708
02:10:22.159 --> 02:10:26.399
Popeye, chicken sandwich, Spicy and
Windy, spicy chicken nuckets, all all

1709
02:10:26.479 --> 02:10:30.600
great. I agree. I think
there might be some overlap. Dan and

1710
02:10:30.640 --> 02:10:35.239
I have some similar fast food tastes. I would probably go because of my

1711
02:10:37.399 --> 02:10:43.319
my like history. I'd probably go
with a Mick chicken because it is like

1712
02:10:43.720 --> 02:10:48.159
one of the oldest sandwiches that I
always get. Still at McDonald's, I

1713
02:10:48.199 --> 02:10:52.880
always get it. Didn't they like
change it up during the Chicken sandwich Wars

1714
02:10:52.920 --> 02:10:56.600
post Popeyes, when everybody was trying
to like be the Hut and everybody to

1715
02:10:56.600 --> 02:11:00.279
be the Mick. Chicken. The
change they change the chicken. Oh,

1716
02:11:00.359 --> 02:11:05.079
they changed the recipe, I thought
so. I thought post Popeyes, you

1717
02:11:05.119 --> 02:11:09.680
know, Apocalypse and the Chicken sandwich
wars, I thought that the Popeye sandwich

1718
02:11:09.720 --> 02:11:13.199
is better than the mic chicken.
It's like a nostalgia thing. But what

1719
02:11:13.359 --> 02:11:18.640
I will in Oh the Crispy was
that that was the response. But the

1720
02:11:18.680 --> 02:11:22.279
MC chicken was a dollar. I
would say, though, when it comes

1721
02:11:22.319 --> 02:11:28.560
to like a burger, it's the
Mick Double because it's so affordable and it

1722
02:11:28.680 --> 02:11:31.760
tastes great and I ate it as
a kid. So if I had to

1723
02:11:31.800 --> 02:11:35.640
choose between the two, I'd probably
go with the classic Mick double. Is

1724
02:11:35.680 --> 02:11:41.239
that different than the double cheeseburger?
Yes, so a Mick the Mick double

1725
02:11:41.319 --> 02:11:43.640
is two patties, one piece of
cheese, and it was a dollar,

1726
02:11:43.800 --> 02:11:48.479
whereas a double cheese burger was like
a dollar fifty. You're paying fifty cents

1727
02:11:48.520 --> 02:11:52.239
for one piece of cheese. But
are we talking about the cost of this

1728
02:11:52.760 --> 02:11:56.119
or just the pure quality? We're
not talking about the net worth of the

1729
02:11:56.119 --> 02:12:03.039
presidentials to the beholders. Oh is
my like cost of a Mick double not

1730
02:12:03.279 --> 02:12:09.800
as valid as whether or not Thomas
Jefferson was the youngest president. What the

1731
02:12:09.920 --> 02:12:18.119
fuck are you talking about? Your
reason is stupid and mine is also stupid,

1732
02:12:18.199 --> 02:12:20.840
and I don't think you get to
call mine stupider. This is fair

1733
02:12:22.039 --> 02:12:26.359
good? All right, then the
Mick double cool. I'm glad we established

1734
02:12:26.359 --> 02:12:31.840
that. Yeah, just glad,
glad you Mary just assaulted you and you're

1735
02:12:31.840 --> 02:12:35.880
like this, this is fine.
I'm gonna assassinate you immediately back down.

1736
02:12:37.039 --> 02:12:41.479
So ridiculous that we're making these fake
rules. I think, Uh, when

1737
02:12:41.520 --> 02:12:46.560
I go to Taco Bell, it's
got to be the chicken case. Ada.

1738
02:12:46.640 --> 02:12:48.520
So I'm actually with you on the
Chicken case. I think it's the

1739
02:12:48.520 --> 02:12:58.199
most This is unanimous. No no
item from Taco Bell. Did you whisper

1740
02:12:58.279 --> 02:13:03.720
something? Oh yeah I was,
I was prefacing mine. Oh you're being

1741
02:13:03.760 --> 02:13:07.439
weird. I'm not being weird.
There's no breakfast sandwich in your mix.

1742
02:13:07.479 --> 02:13:13.199
And I think that's a mistake.
Breakfast, Yes, yes, I say,

1743
02:13:13.239 --> 02:13:18.159
page's Mary, I'm gonna throw it
has to be like fast foods,

1744
02:13:18.239 --> 02:13:24.439
so I might throw a classic mcgriddle
in there, going very uh McDonald's heavy.

1745
02:13:24.479 --> 02:13:30.039
But that's just the way it is. And then I'm gonna try and

1746
02:13:30.079 --> 02:13:37.600
break the rules. And my final
prese is a frosty with fries dipped in

1747
02:13:37.640 --> 02:13:43.880
it. Yeah, that's weird.
That's good. That's going against God enough.

1748
02:13:43.159 --> 02:13:48.199
That's not supposed to go. So
did uh Theodore Roosevelt? You know,

1749
02:13:48.439 --> 02:13:54.119
like we're just we're committing to the
cardinal sin. People do that thing.

1750
02:13:54.279 --> 02:13:56.600
I don't. I've I've tried it, and I don't approve. I

1751
02:13:56.640 --> 02:14:03.119
don't. He's are fine, are
good to the Rushmore? It's on there?

1752
02:14:03.359 --> 02:14:13.640
Ye all right? I think my
Washington, my first has to be

1753
02:14:15.399 --> 02:14:20.359
can I it's kind of a combo, but hear me out. It's specifically

1754
02:14:20.520 --> 02:14:28.119
Wendy Spicy Nuggets with their original barbecue
sauce. I'm allowed to combo. Yeah,

1755
02:14:28.159 --> 02:14:31.119
I think you can choose a sauce
with your nugs. I don't know

1756
02:14:31.159 --> 02:14:37.880
whether you've noticed, but sometime in
the last decade they have changed the barbecue

1757
02:14:37.880 --> 02:14:41.640
sauce to be not as good.
If you have noticed that, If you've

1758
02:14:41.680 --> 02:14:48.479
noticed, that has got a bit
closer to the tanginess of McDonald's. Let

1759
02:14:48.520 --> 02:14:54.319
me tell you Lili's smoky barbecue sauce, which will definitely run you more money

1760
02:14:54.399 --> 02:14:56.840
at the grocery store. But if
you're at the right grocery store, it

1761
02:14:56.880 --> 02:15:01.439
will have Lili's barbecue sauce. I
swear to God that is Wendy's original barbecue

1762
02:15:01.439 --> 02:15:07.600
sauce. Anybody listening. So nuggets
with barbecue sauce are my Washington. Okay.

1763
02:15:07.640 --> 02:15:11.399
If I'm going Jefferson, something that
I don't really think about much but

1764
02:15:11.479 --> 02:15:24.359
like also is instrumental to my fast
food history, I would probably have to

1765
02:15:24.399 --> 02:15:31.359
go with the McDonald's hot cakes smothered
and sarup for breakfast class. I've ever

1766
02:15:31.439 --> 02:15:37.880
had those? Dude, Oh my
god, did you know that that's the

1767
02:15:37.920 --> 02:15:43.079
most unhealthy item? Really? Oh
yeah, I believe it every time,

1768
02:15:45.680 --> 02:15:48.479
like crushed, like crushed twelve of
those and then jump in the ball pit

1769
02:15:48.600 --> 02:15:54.720
at play place. Oh dude,
s shit, I diarrhea all over those

1770
02:15:54.760 --> 02:15:58.880
balls. We know when they talked
about the news how those ball pits are

1771
02:15:58.920 --> 02:16:03.119
like cesspools. I was watching I
was watching those news reports when I was

1772
02:16:03.119 --> 02:16:05.720
like twelve years old. I saw
those news reports and my mom was like,

1773
02:16:05.880 --> 02:16:07.880
why are they so dirty? I'm
like, oh, because people like

1774
02:16:07.920 --> 02:16:13.680
me are just deha rehiring all over
them because I just ate twelve mcgriddles.

1775
02:16:13.840 --> 02:16:16.600
Little Jimmy's trying to see how many
of the balls you can fit in his

1776
02:16:16.720 --> 02:16:22.079
mouth. Oh god, mcdought they
would serve you in like the plastic,

1777
02:16:22.119 --> 02:16:26.279
the styrofoam fold over containers, and
I would just open it and dump both

1778
02:16:26.119 --> 02:16:33.719
the all the butter and oh god, all right, my abe Lincoln,

1779
02:16:33.520 --> 02:16:41.479
Old Steadfast, Fall, fall Back. Yeah, I'm basic in this regard.

1780
02:16:41.520 --> 02:16:46.520
I have Big Max. Love them. I love them. I love

1781
02:16:46.559 --> 02:16:50.120
Big Max. They're incredible. Who
does it? Everything about it? One?

1782
02:16:50.239 --> 02:16:52.360
And it was weird? I love
everything about them. Big Max are

1783
02:16:52.399 --> 02:16:56.280
amazing, and they're a tried and
true staple and they deserve the Lincoln name.

1784
02:16:56.840 --> 02:17:03.920
Yep, my my fourth My have
secret ingredients. My teddy is by

1785
02:17:03.000 --> 02:17:07.479
far has always been like the badass. My favorite thing is a crunch trap

1786
02:17:07.520 --> 02:17:15.719
supreme textures, the way it mixed
textures, the crunchy taco within the soft

1787
02:17:15.719 --> 02:17:20.280
shell, divided by the hot cheese, the melted cheese. Incredible. And

1788
02:17:20.600 --> 02:17:24.360
if I may be so bold,
can I have a a bit of an

1789
02:17:24.399 --> 02:17:28.600
honorable mention? Let's say we add
who's the present? Let's say we add

1790
02:17:28.639 --> 02:17:31.280
an Obama to the rushmore? Sure? Okay, I want to ask your

1791
02:17:31.319 --> 02:17:35.520
other ear two. Mine would be
the Shammy shake, Come Mark, Come

1792
02:17:37.639 --> 02:17:45.000
Donald's comes time. Love Shamrock Shake
Dan Do at Eighth Street. We had

1793
02:17:45.040 --> 02:17:48.040
the the ones that Anthony was making
an Eighth Street that was pretty good.

1794
02:17:48.079 --> 02:17:50.520
Ye. Yes, No, my
trick is they I think they eventually turned

1795
02:17:50.520 --> 02:17:52.639
this into a real thing you could
order, but I used to do the

1796
02:17:52.959 --> 02:17:58.120
menu hack thing where it's like,
hey, do half Shamrock shake and half

1797
02:17:58.200 --> 02:18:03.840
an Oreo mc flurry and then blend
that up in like a green Oreo mcflurry

1798
02:18:03.200 --> 02:18:11.280
chocolate chip. Oo kind of amazing. Eighth Street tavern near near me had

1799
02:18:11.319 --> 02:18:22.639
the the alcoholic ones with vodka and
its really good would be uh Wendy's Nugs

1800
02:18:22.680 --> 02:18:26.559
with sweet and sour sauce. I
love Wendy's Nugs, but I was a

1801
02:18:26.559 --> 02:18:28.159
sweet and sour kid, so I
gotta go with my tried and true,

1802
02:18:28.639 --> 02:18:33.680
good, freaking delicious. Wendy's is
my favorite fast food restaurant. So good.

1803
02:18:33.920 --> 02:18:37.079
Yeah, and they I feel like
a taste fresher. And we've talked

1804
02:18:37.079 --> 02:18:43.399
about this before. We've we've I
prefer Wendy's over everything they were there might

1805
02:18:43.440 --> 02:18:48.200
go to, but I won't let
that influence too much. Can my Obama

1806
02:18:48.280 --> 02:18:52.959
be a slice of pizza hut stuff
crust pizza, Yes, yeah, okay,

1807
02:18:54.120 --> 02:18:58.719
Obama is a stuff crust extra cheese, Yeah, dipped in Marin era

1808
02:19:00.040 --> 02:19:03.360
crust. Oh yeah, you need
to smother that. Maybe he's a famous

1809
02:19:03.440 --> 02:19:09.399
bowl what I don't know, really
good KFC. I don't know what that

1810
02:19:09.479 --> 02:19:11.920
is. Oh, KFC famous bowl, that's what the Yeah? Yeah,

1811
02:19:13.520 --> 02:19:16.920
potatoes, fried chicken, Yeah,
cheeze. I'll just kind of just jumped

1812
02:19:16.000 --> 02:19:18.159
up popcorn chicken all that. I
oh, you know what, I'll take

1813
02:19:18.159 --> 02:19:20.719
the stuff crust pizza over that.
So I'm gonna go. I'm gonna stick

1814
02:19:20.760 --> 02:19:24.319
with Obama stuff crest people. I
didn't even think about KFCA and w combo.

1815
02:19:24.399 --> 02:19:30.559
But what Popeye's is killing KFC?
Now, yeah, that fried chicken,

1816
02:19:30.680 --> 02:19:35.600
I didn't that's not that's not on
my rush Mount Rushmore because it doesn't

1817
02:19:35.639 --> 02:19:37.559
hold as big of a place in
my memory. But oh it's really good.

1818
02:19:41.440 --> 02:19:46.799
Fuck no, I'm hungry too,
same all right. We established that

1819
02:19:46.959 --> 02:19:50.559
in a pretty uh fanciful order.
That was Brock from Las Vegas. Thank

1820
02:19:50.600 --> 02:19:56.719
you so much, and that's our
that's basically our episode. Good episode,

1821
02:19:56.719 --> 02:20:00.239
Good episode sixty two. Again.
You can write into us for next episode.

1822
02:20:00.239 --> 02:20:03.840
Fire skate Cast at gmail dot com. Tell us your amount rushmore,

1823
02:20:05.520 --> 02:20:09.760
tell us why we were wrong.
I want to know all of yours.

1824
02:20:09.920 --> 02:20:15.399
We should be able to talk about
uh Starfield next time. Yeah, I'll

1825
02:20:15.440 --> 02:20:18.840
be able to talk about Starfield.
But does does Skyrim and Space? As

1826
02:20:18.920 --> 02:20:22.479
Todd Howard's been calling it, talk
more of that, Dan, Mary and

1827
02:20:22.479 --> 02:20:26.360
I have all been playing it.
Just embargoed against playing a right now,

1828
02:20:26.520 --> 02:20:33.920
not trying to be it. Jeff
Keiley really uh several times today during the

1829
02:20:33.120 --> 02:20:37.479
game's colm opening Night Live, said
I really wanted people know he's playing Starfield

1830
02:20:37.520 --> 02:20:41.040
but couldn't talk about it. He
struck me as one of those people on

1831
02:20:41.079 --> 02:20:43.959
Twitter that I don't like that.
That that annoys me. Would people do

1832
02:20:45.000 --> 02:20:48.120
that? It's because if you'll see
the fucking here's the thing. We get

1833
02:20:48.120 --> 02:20:50.719
these embargoes and stuff all the time, and it'll be like, okay,

1834
02:20:50.799 --> 02:20:56.760
Horizon zero don okay. So on
March twenty second, you can tweet a

1835
02:20:56.799 --> 02:21:01.200
picture of the menu screen over and
it's like when you are doing that,

1836
02:21:01.399 --> 02:21:05.520
when like at the nano second that
the embargo lips when you see ninety people

1837
02:21:05.600 --> 02:21:09.559
tweet a picture of the menu screen
of Horizon with a tease of like,

1838
02:21:09.559 --> 02:21:13.719
oh what am I about to play? You're just playing into the fucking marketing.

1839
02:21:13.760 --> 02:21:16.680
That's what you're doing. You're just
doing exactly what they want, which,

1840
02:21:16.760 --> 02:21:20.559
like, I don't know, I
think that's weird. So I know

1841
02:21:20.920 --> 02:21:22.319
again, I worked a game in
Former for five years, and every fucking

1842
02:21:22.319 --> 02:21:24.440
cover story we ever did was just
playing into the marketing. And so who

1843
02:21:24.479 --> 02:21:28.319
the fuck we're all I'm not we're
all complicit. I'm not gonna speak to

1844
02:21:28.360 --> 02:21:33.639
that last part, but I will
say that I in the past have played

1845
02:21:33.680 --> 02:21:37.559
into like, oh I have this
game. I try really hard not to

1846
02:21:37.559 --> 02:21:41.239
do that now, and I also
don't. I fucking am really not.

1847
02:21:41.559 --> 02:21:45.280
I say this every episode, but
I actually kind of am proud of it,

1848
02:21:45.319 --> 02:21:50.760
and I'm gonna keep ragging about it. I have not seen Twitter or

1849
02:21:50.040 --> 02:21:56.600
x in so long. I have
no fucking clue what people are saying on

1850
02:21:56.639 --> 02:22:00.959
it. I don't care. All
of my Instagram is dogs, cats,

1851
02:22:01.479 --> 02:22:09.120
wine, shit, uh now,
roadhouse stuff. Uh, I don't,

1852
02:22:09.360 --> 02:22:13.760
I don't. I did not see
whether many people in my circles said they

1853
02:22:13.760 --> 02:22:18.600
were playing Starfield. I'm not saying
we're playing Starfield. Just try to be

1854
02:22:18.719 --> 02:22:22.840
a dick like that. We're looking
forward to talking about it. We get

1855
02:22:22.879 --> 02:22:26.799
that's the thing like there if there's
a reason like here, like I haven't

1856
02:22:26.799 --> 02:22:31.879
really played shit for obviously I've been
moving. But also I all I'm playing

1857
02:22:31.920 --> 02:22:33.120
if I have any free time is
Starfield. So like, yeah, I

1858
02:22:33.159 --> 02:22:37.719
played two hours of Immortals of ABM, so like there was a reason that

1859
02:22:37.760 --> 02:22:39.559
I'm saying I'm playing Starfield is because
like, hey, if it seems like

1860
02:22:39.600 --> 02:22:46.120
I'm not playing anything, your energy. So it's it's the it's the tweeting

1861
02:22:46.159 --> 02:22:48.319
at embargo type stuff like who I
got the gamer. It's like, okay,

1862
02:22:48.399 --> 02:22:50.840
yeah, we get it. You
fucking this is your job. It's

1863
02:22:52.120 --> 02:22:54.559
yeah, it's shocking you got a
game early. Yeah, well, we'll

1864
02:22:54.600 --> 02:22:58.159
talk about it in the next episode. In Yeah, in the meantime,

1865
02:22:58.239 --> 02:23:03.799
you can random fire your cast at
Gmail talk. I'll talk more about Shadow

1866
02:23:03.879 --> 02:23:09.600
Tacks. Please at some point before
December. I know time is taught.

1867
02:23:11.639 --> 02:23:16.440
Time is taught right now, as
they said, I'm is taught. At

1868
02:23:16.479 --> 02:23:18.000
some point before I gave me the
year. I want people to play.

1869
02:23:18.159 --> 02:23:22.719
I think Jake would really like Shadow
Tactics. Cool, Judge Jake would like

1870
02:23:22.760 --> 02:23:28.319
Shadow tact or sorry, Shadow Gambit
Curse Crew. Yep, I know you

1871
02:23:28.319 --> 02:23:31.239
know. When I was packing everything
for this move, and I was like

1872
02:23:31.319 --> 02:23:35.319
trying to be really like, I'm
getting rid of anything that's not essential,

1873
02:23:35.399 --> 02:23:39.360
just to make this move as easy
as possible. I was literally looking at

1874
02:23:39.360 --> 02:23:45.680
a devil bag filled with a mcgroober
wig, a Judge robe and a gavel

1875
02:23:45.840 --> 02:23:50.239
and sunglasses and think I'm like,
I need this, and I yes,

1876
02:23:50.319 --> 02:23:52.680
I think okay again, Yes,
Jesus Christ, Yeah, thank you the

02:25:13.520 --> 02:25:20.639
say that I have been seeing really
good looking banana yellow shirts online and if

1897
02:25:20.680 --> 02:25:26.399
I see you in a banana yellow
shirt, I'm gonna retweet you. And

1898
02:25:26.440 --> 02:25:31.799
then I'm gonna misquote you because I
didn't read it, but I will retweet

1899
02:25:31.840 --> 02:25:37.920
you with that banana yellow and uh, we're working on we are working behind

1900
02:25:37.959 --> 02:25:41.000
the scenes, not no timetable,
but we are working behind the scenes on

1901
02:25:41.680 --> 02:25:46.840
some new cool fire Escape designs for
people to sport around town. We uh,

1902
02:25:48.120 --> 02:25:50.360

actually like a personal favorite, Dan

buy the the Jedi, the mouse pad

1904
02:25:56.040 --> 02:26:01.520
or the shirt. It was a
mistake. I don't really like those out

1905
02:26:01.559 --> 02:26:03.399
there in the public. I'll retweet
those two. No, no, no,

1906
02:26:03.520 --> 02:26:07.520

computer Matt, and they both look

1907
02:26:07.520 --> 02:26:13.520
at high quality. No, sorry, I gotta go. Yeah, people,

1908
02:26:13.559 --> 02:26:16.559
if you're listening, don't listen to
Dan. Mary. Just don't buy

1909
02:26:16.600 --> 02:26:22.000
