Hello, welcome, 10 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:41.200 So nice to have you. 11 00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.119 It's lovely to be here. Thanks for having me. 12 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.039 We have we have a great big list of people 13 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:48.799 who we want to get on the podcast, and you 14 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.679 have been on there and like brought up by so 15 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.079 many different people, so I'm very glad I got you on, 16 00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.679 girl Kin. So we typically every time we get a 17 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.640 guest on, we start with a little segment which is 18 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.799 basically kind of introducing you to our audience and talk 19 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.959 about your background and what you what you kind of do, 20 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.159 and where people can find you. It has a lovely 21 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.719 little jingle which we will now awkwardly sing to you. 22 00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:22.519 It's just it's just Mario. 23 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.640 But I don't know. I don't listen to this podcast. 24 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:31.319 Wow, it's called the Chris from Dayton, Ohio segment. But 25 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:33.040 so Callie and I will take it away. 26 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:40.680 So, Chris, that was probably the worst ever we've ever 27 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.959 done it. But luckily I think the community actually recorded 28 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.439 one and Jake edits it in so you never hear 29 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.480 us doing it anymore, which you're the guest has to hear. 30 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.840 So we're very sorry, Chris. 31 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.920 So Zombie please tell us a little bit about yourself. 32 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.079 What it kind of? What do you do in the 33 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.439 game space, What are your favorite games, what do you 34 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.680 love playing? And as a fun one at the end, 35 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.080 if you were stuck on a desert island, what would 36 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:10.639 you take with you? 37 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.680 Hi, my name is Zombie Kills. I make big fat, black, 38 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.120 chaotic content on Twitch. That's kind of what I do. 39 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.319 I have a really fun time playing games with people 40 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:24.759 and approaching conversations that are difficult to navigate maybe in 41 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.960 regular situations, but are easier to navigate when you're distracted 42 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.639 by dying in a video game. So I talk about 43 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.800 things like prison reform, talk about stuff like black Lives Matter, 44 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.680 I talk about stuff like you know, hunger in the 45 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.319 United States and in other places, or trying to get 46 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.639 clean water for people. I really just kind of focus 47 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.280 on a lot of different things that revolve around this 48 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.560 theme that's underlying my channel called radical Kindness, and so 49 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.240 I believe in curating and creating radical kind spaces in 50 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.599 the game community. So that's kind of what I do. 51 00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.719 It's definitely a lot of C plus gaming. I'm not 52 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:00.479 gonna lie to you. 53 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:02.960 Definitely a plus entertainment. 54 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:04.840 We have a good time and I have a really 55 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.919 dope community, and yeah, you should definitely swing by.

So yeah, this is the first 73 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.400 one where it's just like grab me, and I just 74 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.599 want to keep playing and keep playing till I beat 75 00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.960 it because I just want to see what's happening because 76 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.639 I never played the first one. So like, I'm in 77 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.639 a whole different ballpark now I want to go back 78 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:05.120 and play it. 79 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:06.000 But and if I was on. 80 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.759 A desert island, i'd want a Swiss army knife.

It could 88 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.600 be used as a flotation device and a pinch. I 89 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:33.920 don't know. 90 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.279 There's a lot of different than tool. 91 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.560 Yeah, also a multi tool who knew. Yeah, that's that's 92 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:39.279 a little about me. 93 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.360 What got you onto Twitch? 94 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:44.759 To be fair? 95 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:45.319 Uh A. 96 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.000 Khalif Adams, who I know you all know, who makes 97 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.120 a podcast called Spawn on Me, had me on his 98 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.560 show and we did a show called Lesson in Blackness 99 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.519 that was centered with black creators and our response to 100 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.759 current events and social justice events that were transpiring last 101 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:06.000 summer during the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. 102 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.959 And I don't know, I felt so much camaraderie on Twitch, 103 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.319 and I felt like I was seeing people in the 104 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.439 audience that looked like me and wanted to hear people 105 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.920 like me tell our stories and occupy the space. And 106 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:19.879 I just slid over there. And I've been there for 107 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.519 nine months now and I feel like I kind of 108 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:23.160 like it a lot, and I'm kind of doing okay, 109 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.480 so I have a good time, and now I can't 110 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:26.759 imagine not being on Twitch. 111 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.879 Yeah hell, but I mean I remember seeing you in 112 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.480 that in that video, and I think that's the point 113 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.240 where we were just like kind of wrapping up getting 114 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.600 guests on, and I was like, yeah, we need to 115 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.040 we need to see somebody on at some point. I'm 116 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.360 so sorry it's taken us all this time, but it's 117 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.279 also been incredible to see how you've grown and like 118 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.680 how your audience has grown. And I think one of 119 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:49.040 the big questions for you is, like, the Internet is 120 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.800 a notoriously shitty place. And I don't want to like 121 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.600 dwell on this, but you know, like for women people 122 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.519 to call it, the internet is typically a pretty shity place. 123 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.040 And I think you do a really great job of 124 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.639 like putting out there. You know, you talk and you 125 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.639 ask the big questions, and yet you're still presented with 126 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.040 so much negativity. And it's like I want to ask you, 127 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.560 like how do you cope with that? And how do 128 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.519 you how are you still so strong in you know, 129 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.199 making sure the conversations are being had, yet you still 130 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.160 get all this kind of shit thrown your way. 131 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.560 I just well, one I try to remember, like I 132 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.560 try to stay rooted and who I am as a person, 133 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:28.759 and I try not to let people on the internet 134 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.480 tell me who I am. That's a very hard thing 135 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.000 to do sometimes, especially when you receive like mass harassment 136 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.920 or like hate campaigns. It definitely could be difficult. So 137 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.959 also therapy is lit like hell, yes, I love therapy, 138 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.240 so much. It's so lit and people don't talk about 139 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.319 it enough. Yeah, they're the unsung heroes of everyone. But like, 140 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.199 therapy and medication are amazing as long as you prescribed 141 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.000 it and you take it as as prescribed. 142 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.879 But like, I definitely, I don't know. 143 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.279 I just I try to stay very much rooted in 144 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.720 like self and rooted in being mindful and present in 145 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.800 the moment. Harassment for me, has been a part of 146 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.240 my entire existence. I am black, I'm a woman, and 147 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.560 I'm plus eyes. Bro, people are gonna. 148 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.480 Just say dumb stuff, just to say dumb stuff. 149 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.000 If I let them tell me who I am every 150 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.600 day of the week since I was born, I wouldn't 151 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.800 have made it the thirty seven years of my life. 152 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:22.680 So I really do try to stay in that. And 153 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.240 I also try to stay really grateful. I'm super grateful 154 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:26.839 for things like being able to get to do stuff 155 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.879 like this, like how cool is this? Or being on 156 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.519 a billboard in Times Square. I'm in Times Square right 157 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.600 now on a billboard. Like I just try to be 158 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.680 so like think about that, and I just sit in 159 00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.040 awe of like the opportunities that I have, and I 160 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.920 focus on that instead of like, you know, people who 161 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.279 send people after people and mercilessly harass people on the internet. 162 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.120 And I also try to give them a little compassion 163 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.399 when it's needed. Like so some of these people are 164 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.600 just sad and super lost and like they really have 165 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.399 zero things going for them, and like if you kind 166 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.040 of frame it that wait, almost makes it like even 167 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.279 more non consequential to your existence. 168 00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:07.120 Mm hmmm. 169 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.759 That's yeah, constant or of what you do.

Like, 191 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.559 I feel like the preview cycle has been pretty They've 192 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.320 been pretty loud about it, as as I have been 193 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.000 to when I've previewed it and reviewed it. So y'all 194 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.120 probably know what the deal is. It's a an action 195 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.960 RPG adaptation of Persona five continues the story sort of 196 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.639 a sequel, more of a spin off. More like I 197 00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.279 think of it as an anime movie, an movie adaptation 198 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.480 of your favorite anime, so that that's that's my show, like. 199 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.399 The Monica Magica movie, which like basically retells the series 200 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:39.679 but also doesn't. 201 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.200 Kind of, I feel it's it's more like a like 202 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.799 a My Hero what the what is it called My 203 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:48.320 Hero whatever? 204 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.559 The the movie one Academia. 205 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.200 Yeah, so it's like a separate story, but it has 206 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:55.759 all the ship that you that you know in love 207 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.720 for from the original. You can I wouldn't talk too 208 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.639 much about it because always put out like two over 209 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:06.919 two thousand words edited by Kelly Play who's enjoining us here. 210 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.440 Yeah he did it. He did it together, so you 211 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.759 can peep the review. But man like, I love that 212 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.919 game a lot. I hope more people play it, or 213 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.559 a lot of people play it, because it's the you know, 214 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.240 the game plays fire man like only shit because like 215 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.480 you think of being of a persona five as an 216 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.120 action game like yo, that sounds like a winning formula. 217 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.000 But then to actually play it and see how they've 218 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:30.559 incorporated a lot of the deep RPG mechanics, it's like, oh, 219 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.559 they put a lot of thought into it, and it 220 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.080 does come together really well. Like at first it's like ash, 221 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.320 there's like too much going on, and but once you 222 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.240 come to grips with it, it's pretty hard at first, 223 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.039 but then once you kind of figure out the system, 224 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.480 how to how to exploit the system a little bit 225 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.960 more and you get a little bit more powerful, then 226 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.639 it kind of opens up and man like, the stories 227 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.200 are right. It is so that that's why I say 228 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.039 it's more of like a movie adaptation of anime, because 229 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.759 like the story isn't like gonna hit you in your 230 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.879 feelings like too hard, and this this game doesn't really either, 231 00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:01.759 but it hits all the same notes that you that 232 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.399 you know and love from the original. So you're gonna 233 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.559 you get You're gonna get those those things you remember 234 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.759 from back in the day. And you see a little 235 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:10.759 bit of growth within the characters. So if that if 236 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.000 if obviously, like if you were into Persona five, you 237 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.039 probably into the cast and like to see them again 238 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.039 be like, Yo, we're like very sure of themselves. I 239 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.120 think that's so that's the thing I really like about 240 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.720 Persona five Strikers is that all the characters now it's like, yah, 241 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:25.679 we've been through a lot of ship. Now it's our 242 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:29.240 turn to enjoy our lives. And that was my attitude 243 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:30.879 going into it, because like, I don't want to see 244 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.919 them like go through heartbreak again and like relive their trauma. 245 00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.200 Like they don't have to do that because they've already, 246 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.480 they've done that. They've been through enough already, so let 247 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:42.240 them enjoy life. And that's kind of what Persona five 248 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.279 Strikers does. Like Yo, they get to go on vacation 249 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.840 and then they get to kind of I guess, save 250 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:52.279 other people from the similar experiences. H So you know. 251 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.480 That's Craig Yo. 252 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.120 Tell him to tell Greg zomb said to chill message him. 253 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.840 Tell him if I can't hear right now. If I 254 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.720 can't hear blessed, I don't need to be hearing Greg. 255 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.360 Yeah, you tell him. This is I did that. 256 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:14.960 Cool it. 257 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.879 So I started playing Strikers yesterday because I chatted to 258 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.000 Michael about it to figure out if I should get 259 00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:26.440 PS four or the switch version, and his buying advice was, 260 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.600 if you want the frames, go to PS four, which 261 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.960 so I got. I got it on playing on PS 262 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.759 five and I was very tired, so I only did 263 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.759 like half an hour. But first of all, the reugi 264 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:38.440 hate needs to stop. 265 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:40.559 Put some respect on my boy's name. 266 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.519 Poor lad. He's flunking out. He's he just wants his friends. 267 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:45.720 He doesn't need to be shot on. 268 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:50.440 Physically or spiritually unless. 269 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.399 He's into that. No king, no king, shame here on 270 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:53.000 Astro Dark. 271 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.000 But it's my first ever Musso game, and so I 272 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.240 only played for like out because, like I said, I 273 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.440 was very tired. But when I was getting into the 274 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.159 swing of it, I was like, oh no, this is 275 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:09.279 gonna consume me. And then hearing the music and just 276 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:10.840 hanging out with everyone again. 277 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.720 And I was like, oh, the last yeah, the last 278 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.279 thing I'll say about it is, Yo, that soundtrack is 279 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.360 flames bro, Like I'm not playing with you, like of course, 280 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.720 Like it's a Persona game, so you know the soundtrack 281 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.559 is gonna be fire, but it's different because it's it's 282 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:30.039 Code Techmo's composers working with Atlas and Code Techmo has 283 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:34.399 a pensiont for like metal and punk style music in 284 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.679 their games, and to put that spin on a lot 285 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.320 of the Persona songs we already know. It's like, Yo, 286 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.600 I'm about to beat the motherfucker's ass right now. Like 287 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.919 if I hear this song out in public, someone, someone's 288 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.519 gonna get the ass. Bet Like that. 289 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.639 Web is showing so hard right now. 290 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.759 It always is, it's never not showing. 291 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:59.200 Like, so I've never been in this close proximity and 292 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:03.720 we're on the internet, but someone that's weaving out this 293 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.919 hard over over Persona and the soundtrack on top of 294 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.440 it this wow wild. 295 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.320 I just you know, we don't do video for this 296 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.960 podcast anymore. So I also want to underscore this by 297 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.120 saying that Michael's literally literally wearing a sweatshirt with anime 298 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:18.960 eyes on it. 299 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:20.519 He's talking, that's. 300 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:23.879 My sweatshirt, that's my brand one to talk. 301 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.399 Actually, actually my eyeballs, those are my eyeballs. 302 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.679 That's anime eyes. But there is Japanese on. 303 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.440 It, yes, and it says sadness, sadness. 304 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.440 We're all in the same boat here. But yeah, I 305 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.679 I do want to say really quick, I haven't started 306 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.039 it yet, but I fully intend to plan uh wow, 307 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:45.360 fully intend to play it. I was going to say, 308 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:49.000 plan whatever. I'm going to play Strikers because I love 309 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.320 Musso games. I love a Dynasty Warriors. I've reviewed a 310 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.159 lot of Musso games. It was like a freelancer. I 311 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:56.919 did a lot of like I like reviewed like the 312 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.120 one piece Musso games and stuff. I love it.

But I just want to say, 315 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:11.000 because he's not here, Jacob no anime Decker loves Strikers. 316 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:12.759 It's all he's doing.

It was kind of like going Super 333 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:16.200 Saiyan when I played Persona five or like Awakening your Persona. 334 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:19.720 I was gonna say, well, for you, for it, for you, 335 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.720 for the for the non Persona folks probably know better 336 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.399 about going super Saiyan, but I was like, yeah. 337 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.080 From like you know, Super Saiyan, God Super Saiyan to 338 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.519 like super Saiyan whatever, blue level four, I. 339 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.799 Like, that's super saying you know what I'm saying. 340 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:36.799 So many fucking levels. 341 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.679 Yeah, So uh, that that is that is that is 342 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:41.480 where my head's at. This is where my head has been, 343 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.000 and we actually has been for like the past four years. 344 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.799 Transitioning off of that, I'm also playing Final Fantasy four, 345 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:50.840 which is which is my roots when it comes to 346 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:54.639 Japanese games. Final Fantasy four was my first Final Fantasy, 347 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.360 and I don't remember ship from that because I was 348 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:01.440 five years old and I was like turn based battles. 349 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.680 I could figure out. I'm a tactics person. I can strategize, 350 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.480 but I know, like I can barely read at the time, 351 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.759 and so figure out what to do was hard. My 352 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:11.960 brothers be like, oh, go here, fight this thing. So 353 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.440 I don't remember much about the story story. But the 354 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.079 reason why I'm playing replaying Final Fantasy four is I've 355 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:20.519 always wanted to go back and kind of reacquaint myself 356 00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:23.240 with my first Final Fantasy that I don't remember much about. 357 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.680 But also Final Fantasy fourteen and Walker, which is the 358 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.400 expansion that was announced earlier this month, has wild Final 359 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.039 Fantasy four references, and I want to be able to 360 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.400 make those connections.

I love classic like 373 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:12.359 JRPGs and shit, so I'm having a good time. Agains 374 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:16.240 art as fuck. But it's you know, it's an older 375 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.920 RPG from nineteen ninety one. But yeah, that's uh, that's 376 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.920 what I've been up to because I'm on my bullshit. 377 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:25.000 You can count on. 378 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.400 That, Kelly, what you've been up to? 379 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.720 Uh Well, speaking of Charlie Day and always Sunny with 380 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:34.920 the board, I was on Odell Harmon's podcast we recorded 381 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.640 last night, all Full Circle.

The twentieth anniversary I covered 388 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.720 pretty extensively because they announced a bunch of stuff that 389 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.839 like on February twenty seventh, which is the anniversary in Japan, 390 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:08.880 and February twenty seventh is Saturday this year, which since 391 00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:13.160 they've been acknowledging Pokemon Day in the West, they haven't 392 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.000 it hasn't been on a weekend, so I have no idea, like, 393 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:17.920 are they going to do the news on Friday instead, 394 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:19.599 or are they like just gonna make us all work 395 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:22.880 on Saturday after the post Malone concert or whatever? Because 396 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:23.640 I have no idea. 397 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.680 I like, is there actually a post Malone concert in Pokemon? 398 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:27.160 Yeah? 399 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:29.839 Yeah, I find this extremely exciting.
