Speaker 2: That's right.

14
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: I've got my arm rested atop the Poland spring bottle.

15
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,040
I'm holding a coffee in the other hand, and I

16
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,359

17
00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: Do this weekend? That's right. We have the Master of weekends.

18
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:22,959
The weekends run through him throughout the week because that

19
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,599
is the vibe and the energy he carries with them.

20
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:30,879
It's always a Friday or Saturday somewhere with him. Damn writrs.

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: That's right.

22
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 4: I was worried you were going to intro me as

23
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,079
the guy who knew the stuff about the printer because

24
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:38,159
I've never once known how to connect to a printer ever.

25
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:40,879
Speaker 2: Shocking. Yeah, what about like in college?

26
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:42,519
Speaker 1: No, what do you mean?

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 4: Why am I using a printer in college to an essay?

28
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 5: I wrote an essay?

29
00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: I feel like essays.

30
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:54,319
Speaker 2: Dam have you ever printed anything ever?

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 5: Um?

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, return labels sometimes? Okay?

33
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:04,079
Speaker 2: Sorry, Jen, go ahead, Yeah, okay, no, yeah, that's something.

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,239
You never had to write an essay for your film degree,

35
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,479
an elective or a script for a film. I kind

36
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:14,240
of just got credit for.

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Stuff I did on the side anyway, what does that mean?

38
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:19,439
Speaker 4: A couple of times I did a pre wreck was

39
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:21,240
Western sieve, and I did have a guy from the

40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,879
call center job I was. I paid him a hundred

41
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:25,599
bucks to write an essay for him and he did so.

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,520
I did that a couple of times. Yeah, okay, all right,

43
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,039
my degree. I can't stress this enough that Yeah, all

44
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:37,840
we all know, just in case you didn't know.

45
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:42,439
Speaker 2: I do know that he's the baddest man in games media.

46
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,199
That's right. He's anarchy on the streets. Maybe the Mowana

47
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,759
branded sheets like Mianati.

48
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: Well, gee, whiz everyone. I think that we would just

49
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,120
have a much more grand of a time if we

50
00:02:57,159 --> 00:02:58,000
toppled the government.

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: Playful anarchy is a good character. I love this a lot.

52
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:07,759
This is yeah, this is what. Uh, this is what

53
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,000
Dean amber John Moxley, Dean Ambrose would have gone over

54
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:13,800
if he just kind of adopted his g whiz mentality.

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,599
Speaker 1: He's the death rider of Giant Bomb.

56
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he's all of the death riders in one.

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 5: Mainly pack, a bit less of utah, but mostly definitely

58
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:27,520
a lot of pack.

59
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,199
Speaker 2: Mike k me with a death triangle. It's been too.

60
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 5: Long, commercials, big trouble over, OK, anarchy trongle, isn't it.

61
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: I want to read the Spotify autumn subtitle thing on that.

62
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: What was that? He was doing an imitation? It was

63
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:51,759
very good. It happened to you, and then I delivered.

64
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,039
I almost called you Mac instead of Mike. Yes, yes,

65
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,680
I'm thrown for a loop. Now I don't I don't

66
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,919
know how to proceed with this podcast, but I do

67
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,919

68
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:19,360

00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:34,000
some things out here at gb h Q along with

73
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,480
the Game Spot homies and the Fandom peeps, where uh,

74
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,680
you know, we're kind of streaming continuously across all of

75
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,360
these channels, and this has been a strong, concerted effort,

76
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,399
a lot, a lot of a lot of moving parts

77
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,759

00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,759
visual accompaniment up, going to defer to mister Backlark, mister

Reikert to explain what we got going on for y'all, Well,

80
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,800
not all at once.

81
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 3: Well, isn't that convenient that this is the day I

82
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,680
have to be here and talk about the brand new

83
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,800
thing that we're going to be starting this Thursday. We're

84
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,600
calling it the Power Block. This is a combined effort

85
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,519
between Giant Bomb and Game Spot and Fandom where we're

86
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,199
gonna be having live stream days ranging in four or

87
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,480
six maybe more hours a day of streaming content that

88
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,920
you are all very familiar with and have come to

89
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:39,560
love over the years. And we're gonna be starting things

90
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,879

91
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,600
Jeffrey Grubb's Game mess Morning Show. Are we gonna say this?

92
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,959
Speaker 4: I think we got I was gonna say we can

93
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,560
scoop grub here, But I think he also accidentally said

94
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,319
it on the air before, so it might already be

95
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,959
out there. But yeah, let's go ahead. Who wants to

96
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,759
announce the name back? You're gonna do You're gonna do

97
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,759

Block every day, and then after that we will launch

102
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:22,000
into the day's programming. We've got, you know, several different

103
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,480
things kind of lined up. You've probably seen all of

104
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:26,600
them already. You've seen you know, Grubs Gimmicks on Wednesday

105

kind of an open block after the BombCast starting next week,

108
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:37,879
so things will be like moving around. Not there are

109
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:40,000
a few things that are set in stone. The BombCast

110
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,639
is going to be set in stone. The dump truck

111
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:43,879
on Thursday is set in stone. Fridays is going to

112
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,160
be upf for vengeance, things like that. But we will

113
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:48,839
have the ability to slot things in and out, to

114
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,360
move things around. So if you see something not beyond

115
00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:53,480
this week that was on last week or vice versa,

116
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,160

00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,279
be there and then we're gonna have fun with the

118
00:06:57,319 --> 00:06:59,240
other blocks. But that will be the Power Block every

119
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:03,199
day from Une Eastern two five pm Eastern is the plan.

120

Or you know, sometimes it'll go along, sometimes it'll in short,

121
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,319

00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:10,680
can just your at work, have us opening a tab.

123
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,000

Dumb Truck last week. There's so many moving parts of this,

154
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,000
uh and not a lot of people at all. So

155
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:56,039

00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,639
actually miss. And yeah, it's a really exciting new chapter

167
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:37,080
in what we're doing here. So thank you everyone again.

168
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:41,159
And it's exciting. Shit, get excited. I am this is

169
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,559
me excited. I'm very tired, but I am excited. It's

170
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,960
tiredness with excitement behind the tired If that makes sense.

171
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,759
Speaker 4: You should be excited and the tiredness is understood. Jet

172
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:54,759
back Lark is this guy. Let me tell you about

173
00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:57,879
this guy, Jeff Backlark, and how much work and time

174
00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:01,120
he is put into making this thing happen. Also, your

175
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:05,440
son is smart and has a bright future. I just think, uh,

176
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:08,159
you know, the Backlard plan is just just the best.

177
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: I think.

178
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: I think your son is a well rounded kid. I think,

179
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:12,799
you know, he's probably great on the rink. He's great

180
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:16,519
in roadblocks. I just think he's uh get started on

181
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000
academics yours. No, no, no, he's probably doing great there. I

182
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,600
don't have the report card, but just Jeff, I think

183
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,159
you're doing a great job, and I.

184
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,039
Speaker 1: Think you should keep doing what you're doing. Yeah, what what.

185
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: Is going on?

186
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: What do you what? Yeah?

187
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 4: Juff J But no, no, no, nothing but nothing, no, no,

189
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:42,399
on Sunday that I expenced and uh was approved.

190
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,159
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

191
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 5: So uh he got one of the wretched things.

192
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,159
Speaker 3: He's glazing my son because he bought a do WICKI.

193
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: No, this is apropos of nothing. What are you talking about.

194
00:10:57,279 --> 00:10:59,480
I just think you're all great cool.

195
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,159
Speaker 3: I thought you were genuinely like gonna have a nice moment.

196
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,759
I thought you're gonna have like a nice moment to do.

197
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, that's what I was saying, the nice

198
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,960
things about you and your son.

199
00:11:10,799 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 3: Right, But it's all because of a dumb ass retro team.

200
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 4: I guess when you put there, that seems like a

201
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,320
wild coincidence. But yeah, it's just a coincidence. But yeah,

202
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:18,799
thank you.

203
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: Don't ever lie like that.

204
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: Again, what a serendipitous moment we had here on the podcast.

205
00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: That's how we express emotions through transactional events.

206
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: It works out great.

207
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 4: But uh yes, no foreshoot Backlarer has been doing a

208
00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:36,320
ton of shit to make this thing go off the ground,

209
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,919
and we've just been kind of heads down on the

210
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,639
content and planning and all that stuff, and uh yeah,

211
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:42,519
this is gonna be very fun.

212
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: I think we're all very excited about it.

213
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,519
Speaker 2: Also, I can already see threads across the internet. Nothing

214
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,000
is going away. Okay, we're renaming Grubs News Show. The

215
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,879
BombCast is still here, Dump Truck is still here, BCR

216
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,559
is still here, Brad already left. Okay, nothing is changing,

217
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,519
We're just adding more stuff. You get Morse options at

218
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,200
the buffet now.

219
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

220
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:09,799
Speaker 5: I think going away is the government as it falls apart,

221
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,519
paveway for the new world Order.

222
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: You do that in the Mickey voice, Please God.

223
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 5: That's gonna collapse and showing out the earth.

224
00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 3: Why while he got delicious, Why are you so bad

225
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,559
at Mickey? That seems bad?

226
00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:25,919
Speaker 2: Mickey?

227
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 4: I love how Yeah of the Mickey voice I've heard

228
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,720
in my life just comes from Mike Manatti.

229
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: I haven't heard shoot Mickey talk. Ever, I've heard Mike

230
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:37,720
Natti do this ale. You've never to Disneyland together, you

231

can Mickey.

232
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 5: It's again once again, it's not that you've never heard

233
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,320
Mickey Mouse talk. It's that you have never absorbed Mickey

234
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,399
Mouse talking the probably one hundred times it's happened around you.

235
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,879
Speaker 1: It's possible, it's possibility, it's possibly.

236
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: I am sure that I have a video clip somewhere

237
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,279
on a hard drive of a Mickey voice happening in

238
00:12:59,320 --> 00:12:59,960
your vicinity.

239
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: We went on the Mickey Mouse right together. He talked

240
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,759

241
00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:07,279
Speaker 5: Yes, you says to me.

00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: It's that voice, that's Mickey, Like, that's the voice, you know,

243
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,399

his child in a hockey game and he was there

258
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,039
and uh we pooped together.

259
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,039
Speaker 1: You know it was him, like you know the shoes

260
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,519
like who he is.

261
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: I know because I know who he is.

262
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: But they're not like last bathroom dividers, like.

263
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,879
Speaker 3: Well, it was like, let's just say, it's a situation

264
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:18,679
where it's like I I just know what happened.

265
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: You peering between the slot and the door.

266
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:21,120

Speaker 2: I do hope you leave a delicious life, just like

302
00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:02,480
I hope Lady Gaga lives one as she rides away

303
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:03,320
on her suitcase.

304
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,559
Speaker 3: Yo, I gotta say that new album is It's all right.

305
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:11,440
I'm a hugelyah.

306
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:13,399
Speaker 2: I know that it was a big deal when I

307
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:20,559
saw one. Matt Piscatella of Sircana quoting Lady Gaga's Abracadabra

308
00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:23,320
song Na, there's a lot.

309
00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 4: Of Is it the same Abercadabra that Eminem sampled with his.

310
00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:30,759
Speaker 1: New single Okay, Miller, Okay, I thought I heard.

311
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 5: I thought I heard that some kids were saying that

312
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,639
Lady Gaga is just reheating nachos with the album and

313
00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:38,440
apparently some new phrase they say, reheating.

314
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:40,919
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Would you like to comment on the state

315
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,200
of contemporary music? Mike Andati?

316
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 5: I have no comment. I've not listened to the album.

317
00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:47,159
I just thought that I heard some kids were saying

318
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,480
it was reheating nachos.

319
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: Kids don't eat nachos anymore. Kids, fucking kids.

320
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:55,799
Speaker 1: You know.

321
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,879
Speaker 3: Look, I understand where maybe some of that commentary comes from.

322
00:16:58,919 --> 00:17:01,080
I think it's like more of a pivot into like

323
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,799
eighties dance kind of stuff too, in a really satisfying way.

324
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: But no, it's not.

325
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: I don't call it reheating nachos. Every every artist with

326
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:13,640
their iterative albums is reheating nachos.

327
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: To some degree.

328
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: It is jos, this is.

329
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: Just a nacho thing for you, like I guess it.

330
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 5: So my uh, my grandpa is a cop, so he

331
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:25,440
got all of this. All the cops dealt in government cheese.

332
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,200
That was like the currency they exchanged for favors because

333
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,599
they would all just get access to it. So my

334
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,200
Grandma would make these nachos with the government cheese, and

335
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,680
they were just the best nanchos.

336
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, government cheese. Yeah. Wait, is that a real

337
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:39,160
thing and not just saying.

338
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, coverment cheese is real?

339
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 3: I thought only bugs bunny had access to that? What's

340
00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:46,240
going on here? What is government cheese?

341
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,799
Speaker 5: It's just it was a lot like velveta. To be honest,

342
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,240
is this like where do you get it?

343
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,319
Speaker 1: Like at the state House?

344
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:57,039
Speaker 6: The government? How do you Why are they making cheese?

345
00:17:57,079 --> 00:18:00,400
Is it like a treasury? What it's it's I think

346
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,200
it's a program to help the poor. Was what it's

347
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:05,240
supposed to be? Oh, I know what kind of cheese

348
00:18:05,279 --> 00:18:06,079
you're talking about?

349
00:18:06,079 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: Now? Okay, go and cops. Yeah, cops get cheese.

350
00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:13,519
Speaker 5: Well they get some access to it somehow, perhaps not

351
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,920
totally on the up and up, and.

352
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 3: Everyone knows cops get coppers get infinite bullets and infinite cheese.

353
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 5: No, that's such a strong word. Did Can you really

354
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,079
steal if you don't even believe in the government, that

355
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,680
it can't be its property exactly?

356
00:18:31,839 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: Hell?

357
00:18:32,079 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, anything if I choose not to believe in it?

358
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:37,759
Speaker 2: Oh no, what if we accidentally turned Mike Manatti into

359
00:18:37,759 --> 00:18:38,640
a shoot anarchist.

360
00:18:39,799 --> 00:18:42,599
Speaker 3: I'll get behind that. Whatever. It's better than whatever the

361
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,519

00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:44,559
on Blue Sky. But Mike, I need to know more

400
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,759
about how this bar celebrated Mario.

401
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 5: They had a band there and the you know, it

402
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,680
was like, uh, what would you call it? It was

403
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:54,559
a normal well but they had a band, but the

404
00:20:54,559 --> 00:20:56,839
band also had a trombone and a saxophone along with

405
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:57,799
the guitars and.

406
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 2: Still a band. What do you mean?

407
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 5: But you know what a band has a couple of horns.

408
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: There's like a different Chicago, Yes, yeah, just Chicago.

409
00:21:05,279 --> 00:21:07,079
Speaker 5: It was a good band. But they're playing a bunch

410
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:09,079
of songs, Mario songs. And at one point they were like,

411
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,759

412
00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:15,680

Speaker 3: You plany or you just looked at them today?

441
00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:41,599
Speaker 5: I did not. I played a bunch before. They have that.

442
00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:43,920
They have like the better version of that new Jaws

443
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,079
machine that I love. That's my favorite machine right now.

444
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,000
But they got they had a bunch. They have the

445
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:51,400
stranger things. They have the Iron Maiden, they have that

446
00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:54,920
wild West one that's that's famous rush. They had all

447
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:55,759
sorts of stuff there.

448
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: Cool man, I'm proud of you, Bud. You did a

449
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,519
good You did a good thing yesterday.

450
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:03,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, I took work off to go drinking in the

451
00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:03,720
middle of the day.

452
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,279
Speaker 4: Well, we thought that was going to lead to you

453
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,480
not being able to talk to Samoa Joe because it

454
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:10,400
sounds like that's the time that he needed to record yesterday.

455
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,759
But it turns out British pr people don't know about

456
00:23:13,759 --> 00:23:16,799
American daylight savings time stuff, and so he got double booked,

457
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,400
so little programming.

458
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: Note that did not happen.

459
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 5: But that's how it went.

460
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to see if we can make it

461
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,680
happen again. But it was a thing that he was

462
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,920
doing with OURGG studio and they just had him for yesterday,

463
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,039
so I might just ask him if we can just

464
00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:33,599
do something on side. So if he is not on Thursday,

465
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:36,400
it's because there was a double booking for that day.

466
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,759
So we'll try to figure it out. So maybe maybe

467
00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:41,000
the hope is alive that Mike Manatti will talk to

468
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:41,599
Smoa Joe.

469
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:42,839
Speaker 5: Silly Europeans.

470
00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, speaking about silly Europeans. They make a

471
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,000
couple of games.

472
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: Now, sure, what do you mean?

473
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 5: Why what game has Europe ever been?

474
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: Eight? I'm assuming Joseph Ferris is European.

475
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,079
Speaker 1: He seems very European.

476
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 2: And you know, when I was at the Split Fiction event,

477
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,119
he seemed very tired because he took a plane from Europe.

478
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll do it.

479
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:20,799
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put one in one together and say that

480
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,440
Joseph Ferris maybe European. He made a silly game called

481
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,000
split Fiction.

482
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: You thought he was tired. He's just a shy guy.

483
00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:27,839
He was probably just.

484
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: Being Yeah, that's what everyone says.

485
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: About doesn't like being perceived at all, Like, yeah, just

486
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:34,400
like me.

487
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,039
Speaker 2: Right, you and Joseph Ferris share a lot of similarities.

488
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:41,079
Speaker 5: I interviewed him. We had a great time as well.

489
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:41,519
Speaker 1: There we go.

490
00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 5: Nice.

491
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 2: I've been playing a little bit more of Split Fiction,

492
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,160
uh as As Dan mentioned at the top of the show,

493
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,680
Lucy and Tam are going to continue playing through Split

494
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,599
Fiction that continues this Thursday. But some of y'all have

495
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:57,000
also been playing it or continuing to play it.

496
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 5: Yep.

497
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,839
Speaker 4: I'm probably about halfway through with BNK. How many hours

498
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:02,519
in are you, Jane?

499
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: I'm about like, uh, I don't want to spoil anything

500
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,440
because the set pieces are very short. Yeah, I would

501
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,880
say like four or five or so hours.

502
00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: Yes, myself, I.

503
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: Think we're eight.

504
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: I want to say it's a good game.

505
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 5: It's great.

506
00:25:17,759 --> 00:25:19,279
Speaker 2: It's really good.

507
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: It's very fun. It feels like it's just a straight

508
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:22,920
up it's a roller coaster.

509
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a roller coaster, right, It's just that

510
00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:27,160
that's kind of what it is. I've been playing it

511
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,200
with Dib and.

512
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,319
Speaker 1: How's that been going.

513
00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 3: He's so yeah, right, he's great.

514
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh.

515
00:25:35,799 --> 00:25:38,799
Speaker 3: It has opened his eyes in a way that, like

516
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,880
I think Astrobot kind of did where like it's like

517
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,039
when you've been eating like the shitty chocolate your whole life,

518
00:25:46,079 --> 00:25:48,559
and then you get a taste of like European chocolate

519
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:51,359
and you're just like, this was always around, I just

520
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,960
never just never ate it before, and like that's what's happening.

521
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,160
He plays Fortnite, which is a good video game, he

522
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,839
plays that a lot, but he played three hours of

523
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,200
this and he said, this is the best game I've

524
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,079
ever played in my entire life. Now he's almost ten,

525
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,559
So what does he know. He's just a dumb don't

526
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:11,759
be hard on him. Yeah, okay, I like the angle

527
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:14,359
of you enjoying him and glazing. I don't like the

528
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,759
angle of you defending him against me. I feel like

529
00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:19,680
that this is where we have to draw the line

530
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,720
a little bit. All kidding aside, He like, think about it, right,

531
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,160
he's never experienced something like this, He doesn't know. He

532
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,160
like he the fact that these things are happening simultaneously

533
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:37,640
on screen, trading back responsibilities, the variation of gameplay, which

534
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,759
he really can't appreciate in the way that perhaps we

535
00:26:39,839 --> 00:26:43,039
can with just what goes into having to do something

536
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:48,279
like that, Everything working relatively flawlessly right, feeling good.

537
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 5: Like with roadblocks, right, where almost nothing is deliberate. Everything

538
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,559
that's deliberate.

539
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 3: Roadblocks has officially been banned in New Jersey.

540
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: Sold.

541
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's what we told them. But it's it's

542
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,680
our house for sure. We just were done with that ship.

543
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:09,319
We're just done.

544
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: What is that? Someone who doesn't really know roadblocks? What

545
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:14,880
is the like? Is it just is it bad transactions?

546
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,279
Speaker 3: Or yeah, it's like predatory and fucking weird, and it's

547
00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:23,559
a it's a it's a marketplace for like deviant uh

548
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,119
like dark pattern behavior, oh Jesus. And it preys on

549
00:27:27,599 --> 00:27:30,839
you know, a sort of like slot machine mentality for

550
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:34,160
little kids. And I can't really, I can't really come

551
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,559
up with one redeeming factor about the entirety of roadblocks.

552
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:41,079
Maybe it teaches some math with like having to figure

553
00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:43,759
out how much you have to spend on something forte

554
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:47,839
though yeah, and well yeah before you know fortnite is

555
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:54,400
it is not predatory as much as roadblocks is experiences.

556
00:27:54,559 --> 00:27:58,200
I mean it's roadblo is just it just seems like

557
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,359
an accident, is Yeah. So so that's the sort of

558
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,440
quick digest on that. But split fiction, Uh, yeah, like

559
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:11,279
truly has like changed it is. It's like consuming it.

560
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,119
Like we played one session three and a half hours. Yeah,

561
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,279
we just we couldn't stop. We just you know, And

562
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:19,920
and the story is pretty good and or at least

563
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,920
accessible enough for him. I'm not a huge obviously, it's

564
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,319
not super cerebral. There's not a lot there. It's the

565
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,880
weakest part of the game for sure. But for him,

566
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,799
like he gets it. He understands what's happening, you know,

567
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,279
and it's it's like it's like almost violent, you know.

568
00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:39,680
It's like it's like just not violent enough, but also

569
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,039
enough action to really like capture him.

570
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 4: Did he sell it when the there's that kind of

571
00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:46,920
funny turn at the end of the pig sequence.

572
00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

573
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: That he he like couldn't unders like that's the I'm

574
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:54,920
glad you brought that up. I almost forgot about it.

575
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,039
He he like couldn't understand the sense of he was like,

576
00:28:58,079 --> 00:29:01,279
how is this game like funny? Like I've never had

577
00:29:01,319 --> 00:29:04,519
something trying. Yeah, he was just like, oh my.

578
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: God, we're hot dogs.

579
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,119
Speaker 3: Like he just he just could but like think about it, right,

580
00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:12,880
like if you've never had the taste of that European chocolate.

581
00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: You don't know, well, I.

582
00:29:16,599 --> 00:29:22,319
Speaker 3: Guess if it's it's just crazy and like it and like,

583
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:24,680
you know, Stacey has been watching us playing. She's you know,

584
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,000
we've gotten a lot of like pops from her too,

585
00:29:27,359 --> 00:29:32,319
like all around tremendous, what a tremendous game surprise, like

586
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,960
even surprising where you're like, all right, you know we're

587
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,640
gonna have like a and it takes two with a

588
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,279
different sort of theme, different kind of trappings. But no,

589
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:46,200
there's just something bigger and better and just wildly over

590
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:46,880
the top of this thing.

591
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 5: It's a bit more uncharted asking about in terms of

592
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,079
game polay, but just in terms of that constant set

593
00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:57,599
piece pacing of it, right, which is what makes it

594
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,599
kind of exhilarating. And I like the it takes two

595
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,440
a lot. In some ways there is something too, perhaps

596
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,240
say it's more methodical, a bit more puzzle focused. This

597
00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:08,960
is maybe a bit more set piece in action focus.

598
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,880
Still plenty of puzzles and things like that, but it

599
00:30:12,279 --> 00:30:14,960
is just a game that you never stop playing because

600
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,720
you're tired of it for a bit, because why I

601
00:30:16,759 --> 00:30:19,920
gotta do something else now, like go to sleep or gug.

602
00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:22,480
You know, you'll go make dinner or something. It's a

603
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:24,480
hard game to put that, especially like once you go

604
00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:26,640
through the trouble, like getting that person there, we're gonna

605
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,559
play through it. You just want to buckle in and

606
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,640
enjoy that ride for as long as possible.

607
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 4: And no one is doing this as popular as co

608
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:37,440
op play has always been, going back to like early

609
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,759
arcades and ness and stuff, like, no one has made

610
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:42,559
it their whole like kind of mission statement as a

611
00:30:42,599 --> 00:30:44,960
studio to like this is our thing, this is our

612
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,880
bread and butter, and they have gone so hard on it,

613
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,319
and it's like it's almost shocking no one did this before.

614
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,119
But I'm so glad that they're doing it, and they're

615
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:54,440
doing it at such a high level because like really

616
00:30:54,559 --> 00:30:56,400
they they do it like no one else.

617
00:30:56,759 --> 00:31:01,039
Speaker 3: Well, it's also like the fact that they had the

618
00:31:01,119 --> 00:31:05,200
advice or consult or whatever it is that they you know,

619
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,160
allowed it to be playable with two people with one

620
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:08,960
person owning it.

621
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: That's like so smart.

622
00:31:10,759 --> 00:31:13,119
Speaker 3: That's a huge part of this that I feel like

623
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,359
is under discussed in a in a significant way. Yeah,

624
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,920
like even you know that there's like an arena side

625
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,799
story seeing where you're like passing around this bomb and

626
00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:27,359
the amount of like shouting and and group worked in

627
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,920
a tann of way that you have to do is

628
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,920
like so involved the title okay, like sport it was

629
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,440
it was like playing a sport like it was absolutely exhilarating, like.

630
00:31:39,359 --> 00:31:42,279
Speaker 5: The credibly engaging. It's one of the most video games

631
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:42,799
you can play.

632
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 3: Yes, holy shit.

633
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:46,039
Speaker 2: I like when I'm trying to think of like co

634
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:51,519
op experiences that have really hit big, it's probably split

635
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:53,640
fiction a little bit of it takes two but the

636
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,240
only thing that comes close to that.

637
00:31:56,559 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 5: I was like, all right, Dan, are you gonna make

638
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,839
the cook he's a crew jump or a by I

639
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,319
gotta give you a moment here.

640
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: It's it's something like overcooked, because like overcooked, you you

641
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:12,559
have that same like uh thing where like all right,

642
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,799
you have to do this to help me, and then

643
00:32:14,839 --> 00:32:16,440
I have to do this to help all of us,

644
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,680
and we have to navigate this weird world we're going

645
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,319
in or like moving out.

646
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah whatever. Play it been Yes, yes, familiar,

647
00:32:26,559 --> 00:32:28,039
I have them forever.

648
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:30,319
Speaker 5: It's like a two D co op thing where like

649
00:32:30,359 --> 00:32:34,319
you're just too kind of non the script dudes, and

650
00:32:34,359 --> 00:32:37,200
one is slightly taller than the other. You can jump

651
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,480
on each other and you just that's basically it Like

652
00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:42,119
the entire games world and puzzles are around this fact

653
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,880
that you kind of sometimes you need to jump on

654
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,200
top of each other and whatnot. It's a it's a

655
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:46,960
pretty fun time.

656
00:32:47,119 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: Anyone play. Yeah, I love that's a good co op one.

657
00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:54,279
Speaker 2: I was like, I also like snipper Clips. I think

658
00:32:54,319 --> 00:32:58,039
grub is a fan of as well. Yeah, do y'all

659
00:32:58,119 --> 00:33:01,920
think since you know, uh a split fiction is doing

660
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,839
pretty well in terms of sales, do you think we're

661
00:33:04,839 --> 00:33:09,119
going to see like a triple a copycat of sorts.

662
00:33:09,759 --> 00:33:12,519
Speaker 5: Maybe, like maybe like from net ease or something, although

663
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:15,559
they've been pulling back right like yeah, like who's that

664
00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:19,440
company is making that Horizon clone? Somebody like that, Oh,

665
00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:21,759
she's gonna make something. I don't think shameless.

666
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,319
Speaker 3: I think that's a fair question. I think there's I

667
00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:27,839
think there's room in the market for it for sure.

668
00:33:29,759 --> 00:33:32,920
So I also think the bar is very high, right.

669
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,039
Speaker 5: The problem is they're almost so good at it that

670
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,160
it's like, what do we have to offer to this space,

671
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,319
except like, I guess we're just another one of them,

672
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:43,720
especially if you know he he's like just gonna keep

673
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,839
making these and parties kind of like, I hope that

674
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,759
they do. So you're like, well, we're gonna release one

675
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:51,319
in like maybe the three year gap between these, and

676
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:54,079
hope people care about that too. Maybe maybe that works.

677
00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 4: But the thing is, it's like, as much as the

678
00:33:57,039 --> 00:33:59,400
story stuff doesn't really land, and it's just the writing

679
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,960
seems a little little pedestrian, it's like the game does

680
00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:04,960
have so much heart to it just as a game,

681
00:34:05,079 --> 00:34:07,240
like you can tell this is made by creative people

682
00:34:07,359 --> 00:34:09,840
and a million fun ideas were thrown into this, even

683
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,159
if the story itself isn't really hitting, Like there's just

684
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:13,599
so many ideas in the gameplay.

685
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the two main characters?

686
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: They're very obvious.

687
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, like.

688
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,079
Speaker 3: I don't I don't want to try to choose my

689
00:34:25,119 --> 00:34:28,840
words here. I feel like they're both like equally annoying

690
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:29,519
in their own right.

691
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:36,119
Speaker 1: You don't like that the women women? Oh yeah, you

692
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:36,920
was saying it's woke.

693
00:34:37,039 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just imagine if they were like wrestlers, like you.

694
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 2: Know, a tag team, it makes sense. Yeah.

695
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 3: No, Like I think they like they're just like both

696
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,039
perfectly annoying to each other, you know, like they're like

697
00:34:53,039 --> 00:34:55,480
like the venn diagrams like split right in the center.

698
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:59,039
They're just like perfectly annoying and to each other in

699
00:34:59,079 --> 00:35:00,280
a way where I'm just like I did.

700
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 5: Roll my eyes when it was the whole, like I

701
00:35:02,559 --> 00:35:05,840
love the city because the country is boring. It's like, well,

702
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
I think the country's bearing. The city is just too

703
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,639
gosh darn loud. Like I get it, they're supposed to

704
00:35:10,679 --> 00:35:11,320
be opposites.

705
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to hang out with either of them.

706
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 5: Well, I mean the science fiction writer at the very beginning,

707
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,280
when there was like small talk on an elevator for

708
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,400
ten seconds, she had a doors like I don't really

709
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,280
do small talk.

710
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, you're a jerk.

711
00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:28,519
Speaker 3: She seems unrealistically like stand offish.

712
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 5: Unrealistically stand offish, Like even like three hours in, I'm like,

713
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,360
I feel like these two a bit enough that the

714
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,159
bonding should start. Now you're like still at each other's throats,

715
00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:38,519
like there should be some cuming together here.

716
00:35:42,039 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: So it's just like such a funny part of this.

717
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:49,599
Speaker 5: This amazing game good, it's so good, Like what's about

718
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:51,760
how AI sucks? I like that about the story.

719
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 2: So that's yeah, I uh, I'm thinking of like what

720
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,159
game i'd like to see this and like, you know,

721
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:03,159
you have your co op shooters. I was thinking like, oh,

722
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,360
co op Uncharted would be cool, but it wouldn't do

723
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:08,719
enough that split fiction is doing.

724
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 5: We already had that. They made that Star Trek co

725
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,920
op shooter gay that I'm the only person who liked.

726
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:22,679
Speaker 1: Oh right, it was like you is adjacent? Yeah, all right?

727
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 2: Speaking about one co op game to kind of one

728
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,039
Monster Hunter Wilds, I've been spending some more time in this.

729
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:37,079
Jimmy jam Dan, you inspired me. I did yes by

730
00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:40,039
you saying you picked up the insect glave. I also

731
00:36:40,079 --> 00:36:41,559
picked up.

732
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,199
Speaker 1: I complained about it. I complained about the insect clave.

733
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,039
Why did you do that?

734
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,559
Speaker 2: Because I remember having an okay time with it during

735
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,159
Monster Hunter Worlds and then like I was just thinking, like, okay,

736
00:36:54,199 --> 00:36:57,320
I know this game works now, like I understand a

737
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,679
combo here and there kinsects. Sure, that's the thing I've

738
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:07,079
I kind of get and playing this game with an

739
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:10,679
insect glave it becomes a completely different game because I'm

740
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,760
just used to hammering away and just like pressing a

741
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,920
button and like, look I hurt the monster. But with

742
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,280
the insect glave kind of having to manage a bit

743
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,079
more and then it becomes full anime because of like

744
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:27,800
the verticality that it introduces. And then I just love

745
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,760
just being like a Tasmanian devil and just going like

746
00:37:32,039 --> 00:37:36,599
carving down. It's like back with it. Also, because I've

747
00:37:36,679 --> 00:37:39,760
only ever used a hammer, I can never cut off

748
00:37:40,519 --> 00:37:43,760
monster parts. I kind of have to depend on my

749
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,679
pala coo to do it, and sometimes it doesn't do it.

750
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,440
Most of the time it doesn't do it. So having

751
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,239
a blade turns out helps for cutting things.

752
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,679
Speaker 1: You're just way more mobile now than with the hammer.

753
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 2: Way more mobile, like I can jump around. I feel like,

754
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,119
sorry to throw an anime around there, like an attack

755
00:38:01,159 --> 00:38:02,199
on Titan character.

756
00:38:02,599 --> 00:38:04,199
Speaker 5: I understand that reference a little bit.

757
00:38:04,599 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: I didn't.

758
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm an animated I know, I only it's yeah,

759
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:12,360
it's fine.

760
00:38:12,559 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 5: There are you still in the midst of the story campaign, Jan.

761
00:38:18,559 --> 00:38:21,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still in the story. I'm gonna say this.

762
00:38:22,599 --> 00:38:25,079
I haven't been paying attention to Squat.

763
00:38:25,079 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 5: Well not much to pay attention to. I'm like towards

764
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,440
the end of the story, and I am feeling relieved,

765
00:38:32,119 --> 00:38:34,840
Like the story I thought started off pretty terrible. Then

766
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,719
there's a middle section there. I was like, okay, mare

767
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,239
I can get into it now. I'm at the tail

768
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,920
end of it again, and I'm just so ready for

769
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,639
it to be done. So much of it focuses on

770
00:38:42,679 --> 00:38:47,199
that snot nosed, brat kid that I just find hopelessly annoying. Like,

771
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,000
I'm not always anti the kids are annoying. I don't

772
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,199
like kid characters, but this one is just very annoying

773
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,719
and wide eyed and always on the verge of tears

774
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,480
or something. And everybody's treating this kid like an adult

775
00:38:58,559 --> 00:39:00,599
and bringing him along even though he can't fight. I'm like,

776
00:39:01,079 --> 00:39:03,039
lead the kid back. The kid doesn't think, why is

777
00:39:03,039 --> 00:39:04,360
the kid here? It's a child?

778
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:09,519
Speaker 1: Every Dark movies like why are their kids here? Almost

779
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,760
most Disney movies though, Mike. But yeah, I.

780
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 5: Said, I just said, I'm not always against the kid thing.

781
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:15,599
Speaker 2: It's usually fine.

782
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:21,159
Speaker 5: Fine, this kid's fucking annoying. I don't like him.

783
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh not. A is not my favorite character, and

784
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,639
I also have a tolerance for pluck sometimes.

785
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:29,559
Speaker 1: Mike.

786
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: Are you said you're relieved at almost finishing the story.

787
00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm glad that the story is almost so. For second,

788
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,559
just fight monsters. I love fighting monsters, and that's great.

789
00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:40,000
It's sometimes in the story. You get to fight monsters,

790
00:39:40,039 --> 00:39:43,360
and that's fantastic, But there are some stretches where it's

791
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:48,719
just characters kind of walking talking about things. And I

792
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,599
don't know. I think I saw a quote from the

793
00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:52,679
one of the Muster guys who's like, oh, one of

794
00:39:52,679 --> 00:39:54,920
the reasons why our audience expanded so much is because

795
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,119
we focus more on story. I don't I don't believe that.

796
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,960
I don't think that's why. I think a lot of

797
00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:03,119
other changes happened that got people on board. I don't

798
00:40:03,159 --> 00:40:06,920
know if these ten hour story based campaigns are doing

799
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,800
a ton Maybe they are, right. People do like to

800
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,000
have characters. I like to latch all the things. Sure,

801
00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:14,960
there are some characters here. They're fund up though. That

802
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,320
what the wub wubb who talks eloquently, what is his name?

803
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,199
I like him. He's a nice guy. He's a mix

804
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:27,079
between Stitch and an Walk but with the personality of

805
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,760
that one mouse night from the Chronicles of.

806
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,079
Speaker 2: Narnia and an ass that won't quit and then ask.

807
00:40:34,039 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 5: That won't quit, Barge, you got to ask that won't quit?

808
00:40:37,159 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 3: Right?

809
00:40:38,599 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 2: You know?

810
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 5: There's Jema, and everybody likes Gemma, but otherwise a lot

811
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:43,920
of people that I'm tired of hearing.

812
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,559
Speaker 1: Talk I do like the Hammer lady in Uh, yeah, Sty.

813
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,599
Speaker 5: She's fine. I can't remember naming Claire, Is that right?

814
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't remember either?

815
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Mike, have you have you tried co op

816
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:56,599
at all?

817
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: Or fire had?

818
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 5: My brother, a Christian uh who's played on this site

819
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,360
a bit has has has jumped in to help me

820
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,639
here and there too, So yeah, it's it's it is

821
00:41:07,639 --> 00:41:10,800
fun when you're playing with people, for sure, And that's why,

822
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,199
you know, that's why I want to just get to

823
00:41:12,199 --> 00:41:14,480
the part where I am just going out and constantly

824
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,440
fighting monsters and constantly you know, grouped up with people.

825
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,199
Because even right now they're playing, they're they're joining in

826
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,039
when I'm fighting, but a lot of times that means

827
00:41:22,039 --> 00:41:24,119
that they're waiting for me to progress through cutscenes so

828
00:41:24,159 --> 00:41:25,440
then they can join my next fight.

829
00:41:25,599 --> 00:41:29,639
Speaker 1: So so forth back, are you were going to say something?

830
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying to wrap my head around like the

831
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,719
takeaway that I feel like I'm I'm I'm hearing from

832
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:36,840
a lot of people that.

833
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: It's just kind of fine.

834
00:41:40,039 --> 00:41:42,679
Speaker 5: It's it's weird because like every time it happens, almost

835
00:41:42,679 --> 00:41:44,440
every time I start talking about it, where I seem

836
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,760
like negative on it, but there's a lot about it

837
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,960
that is very good. Like when you fight monsters that rules,

838
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,119
that is amazing. It feels so good. The monsters look

839
00:41:54,199 --> 00:41:57,079
so good. They are just these moments that happen are amazingly. Like,

840
00:41:57,119 --> 00:41:58,840
you know, I was fighting this one kind of dragon

841
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,199
thing Rathlos and can brief fire and I could block

842
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,239
it with my My sword is so big, it's also

843
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,920
a shield that I was bringing fire and I block

844
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,039
it and like in that moment, the camera kind of

845
00:42:09,079 --> 00:42:11,199
like like zoomed in on me a bit, and it's

846
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,800
just this really cinematic, cool looking thing of this fire

847
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,639
just completely like spreading across me as I'm like bracing

848
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,519
against it, and then that happens. And if I, you know,

849
00:42:21,679 --> 00:42:24,199
time this kind of upwards being just right, I can

850
00:42:24,199 --> 00:42:26,679
get the monster off kilter and I could jump on him,

851
00:42:26,679 --> 00:42:30,679
and oh the fighting feels fantastic. But there are just

852
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,920
so many obvious problems to talk about. We even talked

853
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,119
about the performance, which is still you know issue, like

854
00:42:36,159 --> 00:42:38,760
the game just looks like butt on my computer, right,

855
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,239
it does not look very good.

856
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 4: Is it still a massive pain in the ass to

857
00:42:42,039 --> 00:42:44,079
actually get co op going on this.

858
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,639
Speaker 5: It's like, I think I've got it figured out. Mostly

859
00:42:46,679 --> 00:42:50,960
it's just there. Wordage is very bad, right, It shouldn't

860
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,760
be like this series that has been known for co

861
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,559
op for a long time. The fact that you're like,

862
00:42:54,599 --> 00:42:56,880
I think I've got to figure it out is insane.

863
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,320
It should just be like join a game, host a game,

864
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,639
like I don't even World is the one I liked.

865
00:43:02,039 --> 00:43:04,119
It was just like every single time it's like, wait, okay,

866
00:43:04,159 --> 00:43:05,599
so you haven't seen that cut scene, so we can't

867
00:43:05,639 --> 00:43:06,199
join up yet.

868
00:43:06,199 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: It's just it sucks.

869
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,079
Speaker 5: A confusing thing for at least initially, is that like

870
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,599
there's different kinds of parties, at least two of them,

871
00:43:12,599 --> 00:43:14,880
and it's like, what's the party so that we could

872
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,760
fight monsters together because there's like link party, and then

873
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,159
there's you know, guilt and some other things. So it's

874
00:43:21,159 --> 00:43:24,000
still a little confusing. You can get you can get

875
00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:26,400
I can get over it a little bit. But yeah,

876
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,079
I'm a little I'm a little surprised we haven't made

877
00:43:29,159 --> 00:43:32,199
us a bit more elegant. I I wonder if that

878
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,159
process is easier after everyone you're trying to play with

879
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,960
has completed the story. Mike, like you said, because then, uh,

880
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,920
even when we tried checking it out, like two weeks ago,

881
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,360
Sean and Christian were waiting for Grub and I to

882
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,639
progress through the story so they could join for those

883
00:43:49,679 --> 00:43:53,280
specific hunts, and then I don't think there were Maybe

884
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,199
there was one mission where Grub and I were able

885
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:57,519
to sync with each other because we were in a

886
00:43:57,519 --> 00:43:59,960
similar part of the story. But I don't want to

887
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,199
any of the negativity to take away from like fantastic

888
00:44:04,199 --> 00:44:06,320
set pieces in the game. There are moments where I

889
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,360
do feel like a super cool badass, even when I

890
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,280
summon the AI hunters to to help out, like the

891
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,800
story hunters or whatever, and there they wind up using

892
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,440
weapons I would never use, Like one of them always

893
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:25,800
brings like not the small gun but the long gun large,

894
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,079
and then he just like peppering the monster with like

895
00:44:31,119 --> 00:44:34,239
a million bullets, and then I try and like use

896
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:34,719
that weapon.

897
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,079
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm like, all right, this, I have no fucking

898
00:44:38,119 --> 00:44:42,159
clue how this works. It's great, I'm having a good time.

899
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,960
I do want to keep playing through it more, and

900
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,599
I don't know, I'd like to play with you all more.

901
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we should all do some hunts. I can

902
00:44:51,519 --> 00:44:53,239
jump in there and help you with some of these

903
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,199
story hunts that you're working your waist through for sure.

904
00:44:56,519 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, if anything, I should try and finish

905
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,599
the story, get that out of the way, and then

906
00:45:00,639 --> 00:45:01,679
we can just pick and choose.

907
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll be exactly. It'll think it will be a

908
00:45:04,199 --> 00:45:09,360
lot easier for us to make contentable fun at that point.

909
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 2: One of my favorite monsters, early, early, early in the

910
00:45:13,039 --> 00:45:16,840
game is the monkey that farts, Dan, have you seen

911
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:17,679
that one? I have not.

912
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 5: No, Oh, you love the farting monkey.

913
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:21,079
Speaker 1: Sounds solid.

914
00:45:21,639 --> 00:45:26,519
Speaker 2: We love the farting monkey. Speaking about monkeys, Mike Minatti,

915
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,880
you've been playing Donkey Kong ninety four.

916
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, So on Friday, kind of ahead of Mario Day,

917
00:45:33,559 --> 00:45:37,880
Nintendo dropped two new game Boy games to Nso Donkey

918
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,159
Kong ninety four just called Donkey Kong, but we say

919
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,480
ninety four to differentiate it from you know, Donkey Kong

920
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,719
the K game and Mario's Pitcross. And this might be

921
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,400
the best drop of NFL games we have ever gotten.

922
00:45:50,639 --> 00:45:53,719
You've said that before, No, these are good ones. Yeah,

923
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,840
this stuff is so good. Like I was playing through

924
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:01,039
some long jerpyg tales of graces zephyry Mas there I

925
00:46:01,039 --> 00:46:04,320
have completely stopped for now because I am just playing

926
00:46:04,599 --> 00:46:07,559
Mario's Big Cross Donkey Kong ninety four. Donkey Kong ninety

927
00:46:07,559 --> 00:46:10,039
four I have played before, and it was already just

928
00:46:10,159 --> 00:46:15,199
one of my favorite games. It is so good. Like

929
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,199
the whole kind of gimmick here is that at first,

930
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,360
it just seems like, oh, they ported Donkey Kong, the

931
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,760
our gay game to the game boy. You play through

932
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,280
all those levels, and then once you do, it just

933
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,360
keeps going. You slowly realize like, oh, I have like

934
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,079
interesting moves I can do here. I have the side jump,

935
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,800
and this is before Mario sixty four. This is the

936
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,440
first time you have that Mario side jump. You can

937
00:46:36,559 --> 00:46:39,880
do like the backflip into a backflip jump. So then

938
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,719
it becomes this kind of puzzle platforming thing. Or in

939
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,000
each level there's a key, there's a door, Gotta get

940
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,920
the key, and gotta get the key to the door,

941
00:46:48,119 --> 00:46:52,119
and they're all like basically like one one screen ish long.

942
00:46:52,199 --> 00:46:54,039
Some are, you know, bigger, they scroll up, they scroll

943
00:46:54,039 --> 00:46:56,440
to the right, but they're all relatively small levels, but

944
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,800
there's a ton of them. And then after every three

945
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,079
levels you have some kind of Donkey Kong boss fight

946
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,559
and some of them are more like spins on the

947
00:47:03,599 --> 00:47:06,159
original Donkey Kong formula again of just get up to

948
00:47:06,199 --> 00:47:08,400
the platform and avoid the stuff he's doing. Some of

949
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,840
them become more like Donkey Kong Junior, where you have

950
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,639
the vines and everything like that. Then other ones are

951
00:47:13,679 --> 00:47:15,119
this new thing where it's more of a boss fight

952
00:47:15,159 --> 00:47:17,039
where he's throwing barrels and you have to grab the

953
00:47:17,039 --> 00:47:19,679
barrels and then throw them at him. It is just

954
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:27,480
so well done, perfectly executed. Probably the best puzzle platformer ever.

955
00:47:27,559 --> 00:47:30,039
I would have to think up on that. Oh, definitely,

956
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,199
it's the best game Boy game. It is the best

957
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,920
game for the original game Boy. Play it before, but

958
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,400
even now, just can't stop continuing to play my way

959
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:39,159
through it again.

960
00:47:39,519 --> 00:47:42,159
Speaker 4: I agree, And I had not played it until it

961
00:47:42,199 --> 00:47:44,119
came out of like the three DS camera was the

962
00:47:44,159 --> 00:47:46,719
Virtual console or the Ambassador program or whatever. But yeah,

963
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,679
so I played it probably twenty years efter came well,

964
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,760
it came out in ninety four, so whatever that is,

965
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,239
it's it's awesome. It holds up great. I played through

966
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,039
like when I got the Analog Pocket. That was the

967
00:47:56,039 --> 00:47:58,159
first game I played through on it. It was just like, oh, man,

968
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,400
this game is just kicks ass holds up great, and

969
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,239
that's removed from the usual Nintendo nostalgia I have because

970
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:04,320
I didn't play it back in the day.

971
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I'm with you on that mic.

972
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,679
Speaker 4: And then also you discovering pacrosse that that it feels

973
00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:11,119
good to me.

974
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 5: Well, it's because Jeff has always talked about how much

975
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,480
he loves pitcross when I'm doing shows you talked about before,

976
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,239
and I would I swear I've tried a couple of times,

977
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,840
and for some reason, I didn't get it, and I

978
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,880
don't know why, because this time I just like watched

979
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,000
the little tutorial and it's like, you know, a minute

980
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,239
long and it explains it perfectly. I don't know why,

981
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,039
but this time I just absorbed in the information and

982
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:37,239
it was off to the races. It was like, oh,

983
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,000
I understand this. People don't know. It's, you know, this

984
00:48:40,119 --> 00:48:41,880
kind of grid based puzzle thing.

985
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 2: For people that don't know pacross. People you ever heard of.

986
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 5: Pit cross, guys, But I'm gonna I'm gonna lay it

987
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:47,960
down for you here.

988
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,159
Speaker 3: Teach us teach us.

989
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

990
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's like there's like numbers on the top and

991
00:48:51,519 --> 00:48:53,480
to the left of this grid that kind of gives

992
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,039
you an indication of where the bucks are. It's like

993
00:48:56,199 --> 00:48:57,599
mind sweeper but better.

994
00:48:58,079 --> 00:48:59,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Sudoku for idiots.

995
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:05,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, who loves both?

996
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 1: At a high level, they both are a lot of

997
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,440
puzzling out at.

998
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 3: A high level. You fucking whatever do you mean?

999
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: What do you mean?

1000
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,679
Speaker 2: At a high level, like the.

1001
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: Super hard versions, like beating every fucking Pacross three D thing,

1002
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,280
like you know, without anything.

1003
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I'm sorry.

1004
00:49:23,119 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 4: Puzzles are like my thing, Like I can absolutely business.

1005
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 3: I know when I think logic puzzles, I think of you.

1006
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:34,559
I think I went through like a percross like year

1007
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,440
in like twenty ten for sure, So I understand where

1008
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:38,679
you're come from. I just want to make this a

1009
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:39,280
doka joke.

1010
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:39,519
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1011
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: I've got a precross lifestyle. It's not across.

1012
00:49:42,599 --> 00:49:44,559
Speaker 3: Becrouse defines who I am as a person.

1013
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,679
Speaker 4: But Mike, across three D that's the next step for you.

1014
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,239
Oh you put it on your phone? Scary, No, it's

1015
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:49,880
that's awesome.

1016
00:49:50,039 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: You're like chiseling away at a block and it's like, oh,

1017
00:49:52,519 --> 00:49:54,039
it's starting to look like a three D e Swan

1018
00:49:54,159 --> 00:49:57,320
or something. It is, So it's exact same concept it's

1019
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,880
just like you're just doing it and like it's three.

1020
00:50:00,159 --> 00:50:00,480
That's it.

1021
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 5: It's okay, Yeah, there's a whole world of pitcross open

1022
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,639
up to me. It's so satisfying. Like trying to figure

1023
00:50:05,639 --> 00:50:07,239
out what the picture is. It's kind of funny on

1024
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,559
the Game Boy because you know, it's like solo detail,

1025
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,480
Like at the end, I'm like, what is that? Then

1026
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,119
they're like it's a swan. I'm like, okay, if you

1027
00:50:14,199 --> 00:50:17,559
say so, gay boy. But just like fingering out things

1028
00:50:17,679 --> 00:50:20,760
on my own, like okay, like if if if one

1029
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,760
of the roads says there's nine that need to be

1030
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,719
blocked out, there's only fifteen, then I know I can

1031
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,320
at least chisel it out that middle one because there

1032
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,400
has to be one of them. Do you Like, there's

1033
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,960
all these kind of like systems you build up in

1034
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,800
your mind like that that kind of help you get

1035
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,480
through it. And sometimes it looks hopeless because like in

1036
00:50:36,519 --> 00:50:38,440
the beginning, you get some freepie's like, oh, the very

1037
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,000
bottom row is fifteen, that's all filled in. You know,

1038
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:42,960
that's all filled in. Then you kind of work your

1039
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,280
way from the bottom to the top. Then the other

1040
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,400
one's like, oh, I don't even know where to start,

1041
00:50:47,599 --> 00:50:50,400
and then it just slowly all comes together and every

1042
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,960
you know, you have thirty misses to do it, and

1043
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,039
if you miss mess up, you lose time on the

1044
00:50:55,079 --> 00:50:57,400
clock and that exponential, right, So you mess up like

1045
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,320
three times, you're starting to lose a lot of time.

1046
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,800
So it gets risk to just guess. But every once

1047
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,239
in a while, if I am stuck and I'm like, well,

1048
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,440
if I was to guess this one, right, that was

1049
00:51:06,519 --> 00:51:09,920
just no, you don't guess, never guess. Oh, it's the

1050
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,559
thrill of the guest every time. Sometimes it ruins everything,

1051
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,239
but sometimes it really gets that ball rolling.

1052
00:51:17,519 --> 00:51:19,199
Speaker 4: The best feeling is when it's just like you've been

1053
00:51:19,199 --> 00:51:21,559
staring at a thing and going line by line for

1054
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,599
like fifteen minutes. I can't see where a single thing

1055
00:51:24,679 --> 00:51:26,639
is that I can confidently put down, And then you

1056
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,960
just have one and all the Domino's falls like yeah,

1057
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,360
oh and this and that's and that and that's this.

1058
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 5: You're done. Oh I fucking love the cross. Yep, So gosh,

1059
00:51:34,519 --> 00:51:36,159
it's it's been fun. It's funny because like call it

1060
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,440
Mario's pitcross is still generous. Every once in a while,

1061
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,559
the thing you get is like a goomba, but even

1062
00:51:40,679 --> 00:51:43,679
still just that little bit of Mario flavor. But I

1063
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,320
appreciate that he's here.

1064
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 2: Speaking about discovering games that have been around for a while.

1065
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:59,719
This is this is not a cry for help. I'm

1066
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:04,639
complet deletely fine. Today is March eleventh, twenty twenty five.

1067
00:52:05,039 --> 00:52:07,239
I don't have a newspaper to show you the date.

1068
00:52:07,679 --> 00:52:12,559
I'm not being held against my will. But I may

1069
00:52:12,679 --> 00:52:17,320
have downloaded Magic the Gathering arena over the weekend. Oh,

1070
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,440
that's fine. And I may have also purchased some some

1071
00:52:21,559 --> 00:52:22,360
cars as well.

1072
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:23,679
Speaker 1: Okay, that's okay.

1073
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm having a pleasant time learning about Magic

1074
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:33,159
the Gathering. Maybe I'm liking it because they've decided to

1075
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,519
just become Fortnite and throw every possible ip at the wall.

1076
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,679
Speaker 5: Got the spots parts car, didn't you?

1077
00:52:40,199 --> 00:52:43,159
Speaker 2: I don't have them yet. I don't think they're available yet.

1078
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,599
But if they do become available by me, I will

1079
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,239
a five thousand percent by it because I love memes

1080
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:50,760
and SpongeBob.

1081
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:58,559
Speaker 1: Dan. You you look upset. I am why just I

1082
00:52:58,639 --> 00:53:01,559
expect more from jam Oh.

1083
00:53:01,599 --> 00:53:04,159
Speaker 3: If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black, what

1084
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:04,920
is the problem?

1085
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 1: Not a nerd.

1086
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 3: That is your tagline. I can't take that away from you.

1087
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,159
Speaker 4: Didn't you You thought you were picking up magic cards

1088
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:14,679
yesterday and wound up being potatoes.

1089
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I got locked out of my apartment building.

1090
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, while you were locked out, we were talking about it,

1091
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,840
and I posited that potatoes are better than magic the Gathering,

1092
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,519
and I do think I had some support. I had

1093
00:53:25,519 --> 00:53:27,880
a potato last night, and while I was eating the potato,

1094
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:29,960
I was like, I'm so glad I'm into this and

1095
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:30,679
not magic.

1096
00:53:31,039 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 3: Wait, potato just like eating potatoes, a shoot potato, Yeah.

1097
00:53:34,519 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: Like a chip a fry.

1098
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,199
Speaker 3: However, I roasted them. But yeah, is better than magic

1099
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:41,440
the Gathering the card game.

1100
00:53:41,519 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 1: Do you agree?

1101
00:53:43,559 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Pole, It's just a weird thing to compare

1102
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:48,920
as all.

1103
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: Your potatoes aren't nerdy.

1104
00:53:52,199 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 5: I mean most people see some of us don't care

1105
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,400
if things are nerdy or I don't either.

1106
00:54:00,039 --> 00:54:01,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know everyone knows that I might be a

1107
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:07,840
huge nerd might be how dare you even? I know?

1108
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 5: But boy, I still get worse up every time you

1109
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,440
talk about Lord of the Rings.

1110
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,199
Speaker 1: But you're the only one. Yeah.

1111
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,079
Speaker 3: Look, everyone agrees Lord of the Rings is dogship, but.

1112
00:54:17,079 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 2: I feel like.

1113
00:54:19,559 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: Your opinions are good.

1114
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing. I think it's funny.

1115
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,119
I get the comparison is funny in itself, But I'm

1116
00:54:28,159 --> 00:54:30,920
also coming from a place where I'm like, hey, I

1117
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,079
don't really know magic the Gathering, Like I know all

1118
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,639
what it is. I know, but I don't. I've never

1119
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:41,119
like allowed it to uh wash over me. Uh, And

1120
00:54:41,199 --> 00:54:44,480
I suspect maybe I would like it if I allowed such.

1121
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 2: A thing to happen.

1122
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:45,599
Speaker 1: It's probably really fun.

1123
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:47,679
Speaker 2: It's probably good, right, it's good.

1124
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,519
Speaker 4: I probably would get right, I would get irresponsibly into

1125
00:54:50,519 --> 00:54:52,880
it if I allowed myself to Sure, Yeah.

1126
00:54:52,639 --> 00:54:55,599
Speaker 3: So so Jan, the level of which you've decided to

1127
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,320
allow it to wash over you? Is it a safe

1128
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:00,880
amount so far?

1129
00:55:01,199 --> 00:55:06,679
Speaker 2: Yes, I've only bought like one starter deck that another

1130
00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:11,599
friend recommended are Our dear friend Matthew Rory also said

1131
00:55:11,599 --> 00:55:14,360
that he would help guide me through the process as well.

1132
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,039
Jason Finelli has also offered his guidance John Carson's Magic.

1133
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:24,800
That's Carson's a freak as well. And let me tell y'all,

1134
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,760
for anyone that has ever been magic curious, Magic the

1135
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,559
Gathering Arena has a fantastic tutorial to run you through

1136
00:55:30,559 --> 00:55:35,480
the process completely free. You can't spend money, I believe

1137
00:55:35,559 --> 00:55:38,480
to to get certain card packs. But if you're looking

1138
00:55:38,519 --> 00:55:40,400
to learn how to play the game, and you're a

1139
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,000
little too shy to go to your local card shop

1140
00:55:44,079 --> 00:55:47,440
or for local card shop doesn't exist, then you get

1141
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:48,800
one hundred percent learn through that.

1142
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: It's it's because they're fucking dropping this Avatar the Last

1143
00:55:54,519 --> 00:55:56,280
Airbender deck in a couple months.

1144
00:55:56,679 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 2: That's fine, I need it.

1145
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm I'm waiting for that final Fantasy stuff to

1146
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,280
come out, which I've already pre ordered a couple of

1147
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,800
those packs. So what's that happens? The thing is, obviously

1148
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:10,880
I want to collect the real cards, that's better. But

1149
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,400
when I actually want to play Badge it together, it

1150
00:56:13,519 --> 00:56:16,559
is a much better experience for me to play Arena

1151
00:56:16,679 --> 00:56:20,519
and yeah, you know tapping cards. Who can get their

1152
00:56:20,559 --> 00:56:23,079
head around that right when I'm supposed to tap and

1153
00:56:23,079 --> 00:56:25,960
when they get untapped, And there's like fIF there's like

1154
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,360
twenty five or more verbs on the cars that all

1155
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,519
do different things too. When it's the video game, you

1156
00:56:31,559 --> 00:56:33,000
just hover over the thing and it tells me to

1157
00:56:33,039 --> 00:56:36,320
do and then it also just does it for you anyways.

1158
00:56:36,039 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 2: And you know what. You know, our dear friends over

1159
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,960
at kind of Funny. They've also been getting into Magic

1160
00:56:41,039 --> 00:56:44,760
Blessing and snowbike mic and I thought, like, you know,

1161
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,760
if I were to get into magic, maybe I could

1162
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,719
pop over to the kind of Funny Studio. They come

1163
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,639
over to SF Studio and we have ourselves a little game.

1164
00:56:54,079 --> 00:56:56,920
Perhaps we could do a draft. I know Jake Decker

1165
00:56:58,519 --> 00:57:01,199
bought a Lord of the Ring box that we were

1166
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,800
supposed to do a draft with, but that uh timing

1167
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,679
never worked out, So maybe we can wind up doing

1168
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,880
that again. Perhaps. Wow.

1169
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, snow bikel doesn't always come off as like a

1170
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:15,079
big nerd.

1171
00:57:15,559 --> 00:57:18,599
Speaker 5: I mean he's also a game for anything, right, Yeah, yeah,

1172
00:57:19,039 --> 00:57:19,440
he'll try.

1173
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: What do you think, Dan, what's your read on snow

1174
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:24,599
bike Mic? Oh?

1175
00:57:24,679 --> 00:57:27,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I don't think MT.

1176
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 5: I don't think you.

1177
00:57:28,079 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: Even know what a snow bike is or how to

1178
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,079
use it. Ambient nerd, right, that's what I'm saying. It

1179
00:57:34,119 --> 00:57:35,440
sounds like like an outdoorsman.

1180
00:57:35,639 --> 00:57:38,679
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but I think Mike's right. He just has

1181
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,760
that like DTF quality to him.

1182
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:42,079
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1183
00:57:42,119 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 5: He played King of Hearts and liked it, right, which

1184
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,239
I respect him.

1185
00:57:46,559 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 3: That's cool. I like Snowbikeael listen, just tell me mm

1186
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,440
hmm you think this will replace any of your other habits?

1187
00:57:57,079 --> 00:57:59,599
Speaker 2: Which, okay, I have a bunch of habits. Which habits

1188
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:04,320
are we talk the new one? No? So I I

1189
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:08,159
positive this to it to to blue sky and then

1190
00:58:08,199 --> 00:58:10,840
what Nicki Grayson? Let me let me go try and

1191
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:16,360
find their reply. Okay, but but but speculate amongst yourselves. Yeah,

1192
00:58:17,079 --> 00:58:21,880
it's about walking. Maybe you shouldn't do that.

1193
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:22,639
Speaker 1: That's good for you.

1194
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 4: I am thinking, you know, I sometimes see elements of

1195
00:58:26,039 --> 00:58:28,639
myself or my father and myself. And he started smoking

1196
00:58:28,679 --> 00:58:31,199
at forty, so I got a few months left to

1197
00:58:31,199 --> 00:58:34,599
get into smoking. I want to follow his footsteps. Okay, Dan,

1198
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,480
you should not get into smoking. But Nicki Grayson replied

1199
00:58:38,559 --> 00:58:40,559
to me when I was seeking advice how to get

1200
00:58:40,559 --> 00:58:41,159
into magic?

1201
00:58:42,079 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 2: Dude?

1202
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:42,599
Speaker 1: What?

1203
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,719
Speaker 2: And then in another skeet, have you heard of cigarettes?

1204
00:58:46,679 --> 00:58:50,199
It's pretty good, Nikki. So you know it's it's which

1205
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,760
which is the worst one to Perhaps I'm gonna say

1206
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,840
any hesitation smoking? Yeah, okay, Well I'm almost out of

1207
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,920
the Japanese ones, all right, and then those run out.

1208
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,159
I can't get cool menthols here in California because of

1209
00:59:04,199 --> 00:59:08,440
Gavin Newsom and now he's starting a podcast sleazy fuck.

1210
00:59:08,519 --> 00:59:11,719
I can't believe it to be in office.

1211
00:59:12,599 --> 00:59:14,719
Speaker 5: I didn't have to cool off of uh the Lacana

1212
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,599
cards a little bit. It was like, man impending a

1213
00:59:17,639 --> 00:59:19,199
lot of money on this game that I don't I

1214
00:59:19,199 --> 00:59:21,599
don't really play this game very often. People don't remember

1215
00:59:21,639 --> 00:59:23,559
where Kana was the Disney matchic to Ketch.

1216
00:59:23,599 --> 00:59:24,639
Speaker 2: Oh yes, we all remember.

1217
00:59:24,679 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 5: We remember. I got all these cards, and I'm like

1218
00:59:27,519 --> 00:59:29,639
running out of places to a put them. It's like

1219
00:59:30,039 --> 00:59:32,320
it's like a I can't buying it, mostly for just

1220
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,000
the dopam rush of opening though, and then after that

1221
00:59:35,079 --> 00:59:37,320
I'm stuck with these things. I'm like, well, what do

1222
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:38,159
I do with it now?

1223
00:59:38,519 --> 00:59:38,719
Speaker 1: Well?

1224
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,719
Speaker 3: No, like I mean, yeah, I never took you for

1225
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:43,400
someone who's playing Lorcana.

1226
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,159
Speaker 2: I was just like, oh, yeah, I think we always

1227
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,960
there's the great lie back of are the great lie

1228
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:49,760
is that we're going to play more?

1229
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, one day I'm gonna play.

1230
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:51,199
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1231
00:59:51,239 --> 00:59:54,679
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, everyone buys up Pokemon cards looking for like, you know,

1232
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,840
the arts of the full arts. They're looking for all

1233
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:57,800
the stuff they want.

1234
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,039
Speaker 1: Well okay, no, so.

1235
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 2: So Sean asks, how come I haven't like partied up

1236
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:06,079
with him and gone into Pokemon TCG. And it's because

1237
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:10,440
buying the physical shoot cards now it's not impossible, but

1238
01:00:10,519 --> 01:00:12,920
it's just there's so many fucking people out there.

1239
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, you get trampled in a costco.

1240
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 2: Right exactly. Uh, backler, I don't know if you've seen

1241
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:21,719
these at your local grocery stores, but in the same

1242
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,079
way that they have like the kiosks with like that

1243
01:00:25,159 --> 01:00:27,000
you can buy a lot of tickets or scratch offs

1244
01:00:27,039 --> 01:00:29,360
at Yeah, they have Pokemon card ones.

1245
01:00:29,639 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 1: Oh what are we doing?

1246
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,719
Speaker 3: Why are we not regulating that?

1247
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 2: Exactly? And then I saw two fellas like just standing

1248
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,800
next to one just like I don't know what they

1249
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,920
were trying to do staring at this machine, because I've

1250
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,920
seen people like they'll weigh packs, right, yeah, like with

1251
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,320
a scale, but you can't do that with a fucking

1252
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:54,199
vending machine. They're trying to eyeball it out, like what's happening.

1253
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:55,079
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're.

1254
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Trying to like hack into the mainframe or whatever or

1255
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,599
try and like input some type of code for it

1256
01:00:59,639 --> 01:01:02,199
to just vomit out cards, but they were trying to

1257
01:01:02,199 --> 01:01:05,039
do some underhanded stuff there. But yeah, because of the

1258
01:01:05,079 --> 01:01:09,559
state of the scene of Pokemon TCG. That's why. And

1259
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,920
magic cards generally are available everywhere I go.

1260
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 3: Right, people are they don't seem as freakish with the

1261
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,159
Pokemon stuff. I just had a visual that I want

1262
01:01:20,159 --> 01:01:23,480
to talk about out loud, Like remember those old cigarette

1263
01:01:23,519 --> 01:01:26,519
machines with those little plungers I used to plate the

1264
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,039
let's just let's just put Pokemon cards in that jan

1265
01:01:30,159 --> 01:01:32,239
You look puzzled because you're probably too young to know

1266
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:33,039
what that looks like.

1267
01:01:33,119 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what a plunger?

1268
01:01:35,119 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: What?

1269
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a plunger you would pull out, you know,

1270
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:38,800
like a pinball plunger.

1271
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, like those sticker machines.

1272
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, because I remember.

1273
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,199
Speaker 4: When I was growing up, my mom was a Chili's waitress.

1274
01:01:46,239 --> 01:01:47,599
I used to go seere there and there'd be the

1275
01:01:47,639 --> 01:01:49,880
whole like half the restaurant was a smoking section, and

1276
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,559
I had those things. It's like, yeah, just buy your

1277
01:01:51,599 --> 01:01:53,679
cigarettes and Chili's and eat your chicken tenders.

1278
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:54,599
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1279
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:59,119
Speaker 3: Man, those are like like obviously smoking horrific, But like

1280
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,559
those machines are cool in a vacuum, like that machine

1281
01:02:03,599 --> 01:02:04,079
is cool.

1282
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 2: Nobody, no one on this podcast be offended by this.

1283
01:02:09,079 --> 01:02:13,519
Have y'all ever been on an airplane where smoking was allowed? No, No,

1284
01:02:14,199 --> 01:02:14,719
not a planet.

1285
01:02:14,719 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: I've been on planes that have ashtray things, yes, yeah.

1286
01:02:18,559 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 5: Like carryovers, but no, it might happen. I was really young,

1287
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,599
but I don't remember people smoking on an airplane I

1288
01:02:23,639 --> 01:02:23,840
was on.

1289
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 4: I distinctly remember, like, you know, going to restaurants and

1290
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,320
like them being like, oh, you know, we don't have

1291
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,400
anything available. We have a couple in the smoking section,

1292
01:02:30,599 --> 01:02:33,119
and like having to do that and be like, oh wow, this.

1293
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: I remember the smoker here having a smoking section, separate room,

1294
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:42,679
and it was far old, old enough to drink. And

1295
01:02:42,719 --> 01:02:44,719
then there would be like super smoky bars like the

1296
01:02:44,719 --> 01:02:47,199
Red Balloon, my main bar where my parents met. Like

1297
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:48,920
you go in there for night at the Red Balloon,

1298
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,039
and you come out and like, those clothes are not

1299
01:02:51,119 --> 01:02:53,079
just going to shrink for a week, but you put

1300
01:02:53,079 --> 01:02:55,719
them in a hamper and it just seeps into everything else.

1301
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:59,719
Speaker 5: That's just how the world smells like a good while there.

1302
01:03:00,119 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 3: I'm filled with so much regret now.

1303
01:03:03,599 --> 01:03:05,119
Speaker 1: I just just.

1304
01:03:05,079 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 3: Like going to shows in the nineties, just going on

1305
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,360
like punk rock shows and like coming back and you

1306
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,559
just smell the way you smell and You're.

1307
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 2: Just like, throw me in the trash.

1308
01:03:16,519 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: This isn't going to help the narc accusations against me.

1309
01:03:19,199 --> 01:03:23,039
Speaker 4: But when I was probably nineteen twenty, I went to

1310
01:03:23,079 --> 01:03:25,320
a Parliament Funkadelic show and.

1311
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:29,559
Speaker 3: You said that in the man I'm the coworker. I

1312
01:03:29,599 --> 01:03:32,719
cannot believe the way you just say Parliament.

1313
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:36,199
Speaker 1: Date with p Funk and Saint Louis. I've gone to shows.

1314
01:03:36,199 --> 01:03:38,559
I know George Clinton. He probably doesn't remember me, but

1315
01:03:39,199 --> 01:03:39,920
it is all to say.

1316
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 4: One of the first times I saw p Funk, there

1317
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:43,440
were people in front of me that I was like,

1318
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:44,079
what is that smelling?

1319
01:03:44,079 --> 01:03:45,599
Speaker 1: Asked my friend Charles, like, I think that's weed.

1320
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 4: And I was so concerned about someone smoking weed at

1321
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,559
a p Funk concert. I thought, oh no, I hope

1322
01:03:51,599 --> 01:03:54,159
I don't get high. And also should I talk to

1323
01:03:54,199 --> 01:03:56,679
someone about this? Should I alert security? At a p

1324
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,360
Funk concert the entire band is on acid?

1325
01:04:00,079 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 3: Cop, you're such a cop?

1326
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:03,119
Speaker 1: Try?

1327
01:04:03,679 --> 01:04:09,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, how did you find yourself at that show?

1328
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:11,719
Speaker 1: Right?

1329
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:13,679
Speaker 2: That's my point.

1330
01:04:14,119 --> 01:04:17,119
Speaker 3: My point is you found yourself in a spot where

1331
01:04:17,119 --> 01:04:20,920
you actively went to the show but still had those

1332
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,760
like narc ass cop nuances.

1333
01:04:24,159 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: It was a weird tendencies.

1334
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 4: It was a weird confluence of me being open minded

1335
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,039
and liking like weird like funk music and stuff, and

1336
01:04:32,079 --> 01:04:35,440
also me growing up in Kansas with very afraid of

1337
01:04:35,559 --> 01:04:36,239
weed stuff.

1338
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's like the arsonist that grows up to

1339
01:04:38,519 --> 01:04:40,159
be a fireman. I don't understand.

1340
01:04:40,639 --> 01:04:46,559
Speaker 4: Good now, all right, we're cop Now have shelter tonight

01:07:53,079 --> 01:07:55,119
like I couldn't tell if he thought it was funny

1399
01:07:55,199 --> 01:07:57,639

exactly how the generation than us thought of.

1405
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: Booger Man was a real video game.

1406
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:23,319
Speaker 3: Listen, listen, you like you have to put yourself. Well,

1407
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,279
this should be easy, put yourself in the shoes of

1408
01:08:25,319 --> 01:08:29,520
a ten year old. I was played Boogerman and just imagine,

1409
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,199
like what that meant?

1410
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 2: Right?

1411
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 3: Like it came from a good place, sure, and it

1412
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:38,560
was also funny. Anyway, Boogerman, we still think about you.

1413
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:39,159
Speaker 1: I just think I.

1414
01:08:41,239 --> 01:08:43,119
Speaker 4: Think the first time I heard the word pussy was

1415
01:08:43,159 --> 01:08:48,039
because of Boogerman. I was reading the instruction manual of

1416
01:08:48,199 --> 01:08:50,399
Boogerman in the car while my mom was coming out

1417
01:08:50,399 --> 01:08:53,199
of the grocery store, and she looked at the manual

1418
01:08:53,239 --> 01:08:56,199
and there was something like Queen Puss or something like

1419
01:08:56,239 --> 01:08:58,560
the word puss was in there because Boogerman Booger's parts

1420
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,199
and all that stuff. And my mom's like, what is that? Like,

1421
01:09:01,239 --> 01:09:02,359
she was like what did I just get?

1422
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:03,199
Speaker 1: Like what is this game?

1423
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,079
Speaker 4: And I was like, what do you It says something

1424
01:09:05,119 --> 01:09:07,920
about pussy in there. I was like, what what does

1425
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,399
that mean? And no, look at this, it's just about

1426
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,079
fun booker stuff. And she's like, oh, okay, but she

1427
01:09:13,159 --> 01:09:15,600
thought it was about something InCred.

1428
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 3: I did not think that's where that was going.

1429
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:19,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where that went. Yeah.

1430
01:09:19,359 --> 01:09:22,159
Speaker 4: She also wouldn't let me rent final Fantasy seven because

1431
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:23,720
she thought it was a porn game.

1432
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 2: Well, you know, yeah, Hey, Jeff Beckler, I don't think

1433
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,239
we've caught you up on this during the voicemail dump

1434
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:37,479
truck program, but I just want to ask you, this

1435
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,840
is Tony Hawk better than all of the Final fantasies?

1436
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 1: Backler?

1437
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 2: You know this? Yes, thank you?

1438
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,600
Speaker 1: Of course Backlar thinks that a man of taste.

1439
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:52,159
Speaker 3: To be fair, I've not played a lot of fun.

1440
01:09:52,239 --> 01:09:57,640

Speaker 4: Guarantee the majority opinion would say that Tony is better than.

1443
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:10,560
Speaker 3: Majority opinion is always the best one. Well, I played

1444
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:14,960
the newest one, Tony Hawk. No, the final Fantasy won

1445
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,800

Speaker 3: I like it. It's awesome, though, it's if you're just

1470
01:11:30,279 --> 01:11:33,199
like putting in these little quiz It's just so sick.

1471
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:36,359
Speaker 1: Keenan, that's interesting.

1472
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,560
Speaker 3: Can you do the trafficking weather after this?

1473
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 2: Oh?

1474
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 5: In Honestly, if this thing is co named Keenan, I

1475
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,279
feel like there's a very good chance that the next

1476
01:11:44,359 --> 01:11:47,640
like home console is co named Kel. Like they're being

1477
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:48,600
funny about.

1478
01:11:48,319 --> 01:11:51,239
Speaker 1: Its right now. Yeah.

1479
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

1480
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 5: The device will resemble Xbox consoles and feature an Xbox

1481
01:11:55,039 --> 01:11:59,000
Guide button. Is speculated to be PC oriented, running Windows

1482
01:11:59,039 --> 01:12:02,760
and supporting PC game Past Team and the Microsoft Store. Additionally,

1483
01:12:03,079 --> 01:12:05,800
Microsoft aims to launch its next gen console in twenty

1484
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:08,680
twenty seven. I know, I saw another report saying that

1485
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:12,840
that next Xbox console will also basically be a PC.

1486
01:12:13,359 --> 01:12:17,199
But this kind of you know, Xbox software on top

1487
01:12:17,239 --> 01:12:20,239
of it. Does this sound like a good direction for

1488
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,720
Xbox to take to u all? Do you think maybe

1489
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:27,680
that handheld PC gaming space is a little spoken for

1490
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,119
with the Steam Deck and stuff like the Asis rug Alley,

1491
01:12:30,159 --> 01:12:32,640
do you think Microsoft can still make waves there?

1492
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 2: See? I keep making the statement that I think PC

1493
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:40,720
gaming has never been in an easier place for people

1494
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,840
to get into it, like a Steam deck and the

1495
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:47,640
Asis Roger. But even my friends that are a little

1496
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,359
bit more open to technology will still kind of confine

1497
01:12:51,399 --> 01:12:55,800
themselves to the console ecosystem. But I bet if those

1498
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:59,760
same friends saw an Xbox console that would be able

1499
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:03,399
to lay not a bunch of PC games, but open

1500
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,359
up to like game Pass or maybe you could get

1501
01:13:06,399 --> 01:13:07,000
Steam running.

1502
01:13:07,039 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: You could probably get an emulator running on.

1503
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:12,199
Speaker 2: These guys too, then they would be more open to

1504
01:13:12,279 --> 01:13:15,520
it because it has that Xbox branding. I'm more interested

1505
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:17,760
in this than another Xbox console.

1506
01:13:18,159 --> 01:13:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and they've also been saying like this

1507
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,840
is a PC with an Xbox like they've been saying

1508
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:24,920
there for twenty years. I feel like, right, I mean,

1509
01:13:25,319 --> 01:13:29,920
in some variation, but yes, you're right. Also presumably right,

1510
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:34,880
Microsoft is like there is something that like Microsoft could

1511
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:38,640
probably do in the way of like getting Windows to

1512
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:43,039
work right on a mobile device in a way that

1513
01:13:43,079 --> 01:13:45,000
like no one else has really been able to thread

1514
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:45,560
that needle.

1515
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 4: I mean, right, I don't like that rock ally X

1516
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,359
does a pretty good job of that, I think.

1517
01:13:50,399 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 5: I think it does too, damn. But then I hear

1518
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,600
a lot of people talk about Windows on the rock

1519
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:55,840
ally X like it's the.

1520
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,199
Speaker 3: Devil, That's what I'm saying.

1521
01:13:57,279 --> 01:13:59,079
Speaker 5: I feel like I've heard a lot of people still, I.

1522
01:13:59,039 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 3: Feel like I've heard enough of two where like the

1523
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,039
unique fact like there is a thing where like Microsoft

1524
01:14:06,039 --> 01:14:09,239
could get away with saying like, oh, but no one's

1525
01:14:09,279 --> 01:14:12,199
gonna do Windows on a handheld like we will be

1526
01:14:12,239 --> 01:14:12,760
able to do.

1527
01:14:13,199 --> 01:14:15,600
Speaker 5: And then I do think at some point Microsoft needs

1528
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:19,399
to make a more specific kind of Xbox E or

1529
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:24,319
gaming based version of Windows right kind of yeah, a

1530
01:14:24,399 --> 01:14:27,960
sort of similar but different operating system that is just

1531
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,399
going to be friendlier for these kinds of devices. We

1532
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:32,079
clean the handheld end the next console.

1533
01:14:32,199 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 4: Wasn't that kind of the plan though, when it's like

1534
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,479
Windows had that weird pivot where it was just like

1535
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:39,159
the when the boxes on the screen that it wasn't

1536
01:14:39,159 --> 01:14:41,880
the normal start man for like that was for tablets

1537
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,079
and everything that tries to put that on PC's as well.

1538
01:14:45,119 --> 01:14:47,520
Briefly before you know, you can always like turn it off.

1539
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,560
But the phones, the Windows phones, the Xbox even changed

1540
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,399
its dash at the time to kind of be congruous

1541
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:54,479
or that for what it was called.

1542
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:59,560
Speaker 3: They seem extraordinarily fragmented, where like none of their teams

1543
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,640
are none of their products are really talking to each

1544
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:04,479
other in a productive way.

1545
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:08,159
Speaker 1: Like who's done drive? I shut that shit down?

1546
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:12,079
Speaker 3: Oh my god, someone take when one drive out back?

1547
01:15:12,239 --> 01:15:12,600
Speaker 1: Please?

1548
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 2: Like what are we doing?

1549
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:15,520
Speaker 3: Stop doing that? Windows.

1550
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:17,199
Speaker 2: The Windows experience.

1551
01:15:17,119 --> 01:15:21,560
Speaker 3: Right now is it's like it's pestering, it's annoying you.

1552
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:23,880
It's always wanting you to like use shit you don't

1553
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:28,119
want to use, leave me alone. Don't be the initiator,

1554
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:32,199
right like, don't be proactive. I'm sick of Windows being proactive.

1555
01:15:32,279 --> 01:15:36,439
Let me do what I want. Stop suggesting shit, Okay,

1556
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:37,199
I don't care.

1557
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: You know, Clippy is still on the machine.

1558
01:15:40,079 --> 01:15:42,079
Speaker 5: Clippy still clippies in the walls.

1559
01:15:42,199 --> 01:15:45,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he'll have his revenge one day.

1560
01:15:46,199 --> 01:15:48,560
Speaker 5: Clearly, Xbox has lost a lot of ground to PlayStation

1561
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:51,199
this generation, and they're kind of just pivoting to being

1562
01:15:51,239 --> 01:15:54,600
more of a software company anyways. So they still want

1563
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:58,960
to produce hardware. I think, perhaps taking a different avenue there,

1564
01:15:59,159 --> 01:16:01,199
making these things more set basic. Yeah, getting to the

1565
01:16:01,199 --> 01:16:05,680
handheld space makes sense. PlayStation probably also certainly working on

1566
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,119
a handheld of their own, So it's gonna be interesting

1567
01:16:09,159 --> 01:16:10,479
what that all looks like, especially in the world w

1568
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:12,880
you know, there is still a switch gonna be a

1569
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:15,800
switch to So now you are once again, maybe more

1570
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,000
directly competing with Nintendo. How does that go?

1571
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,520
Speaker 4: It is a lot because I think about it now

1572
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,479
and it's just like I have so like got the

1573
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,199
rock ally, the Steam Deck, the switch, the analog that

1574
01:16:25,239 --> 01:16:27,119
you know for they all have like different little like

1575
01:16:27,199 --> 01:16:29,439
use cases like I feel like, oh, this one's got

1576
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:31,520
the better batteries, so I'll take this on the long flight,

1577
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:33,119
or this one is a game Boy game, so I'll

1578
01:16:33,159 --> 01:16:34,760
play it on this thing, or this one's got better emulation,

1579
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,520
this one can do Windows. I can do Fortnite on

1580
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,800
this one without doing any weird shit. Like, I just

1581
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,239
hope it doesn't get over complicated. It almost feels like

1582
01:16:41,399 --> 01:16:43,399
remember when it was just like Netflix and Hulu, and

1583
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:46,319
then it was everything got fucking complicated. It was great

1584
01:16:46,319 --> 01:16:47,920
for a little bit there, but it is starting to

1585
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:48,520
be a bit much.

1586
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 5: All right, We'll see how that all goes. Heyoko Jama's

1587
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,680
latest step stranding two trailers here with the confirmed June release.

1588
01:16:56,359 --> 01:16:59,840
They unveiled the new trailer at south By South of West,

1589
01:17:00,199 --> 01:17:03,039
confirming a PS five really stated with June twenty six

1590
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:05,960
Digital Leuxe and Clutch's editions with Early Excess on June

1591
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:09,319
twenty fourth, We're also announced a worldwide def Stranding Strands

1592
01:17:09,319 --> 01:17:13,319
of Harmony music tour starting in November. Was also revealed.

1593
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:19,119
Jan and U, Dan, you watched this with Grubb, you

1594
01:17:19,159 --> 01:17:20,680
reacted to it. There's a video that.

1595
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,159
Speaker 4: I watched it for the reaction that I watched your

1596
01:17:23,199 --> 01:17:24,640
reaction last night on your stream.

1597
01:17:25,359 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 5: Look, I tried to react to it, and like I was,

1598
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:30,119
I already turned a guess a little bit when I

1599
01:17:30,119 --> 01:17:32,479
saw the trailer was ten minutes long.

1600
01:17:33,039 --> 01:17:35,359
Speaker 4: I was surprised that you were surprised by that. Have

1601
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:37,279
you never seen Adeo Kajima trailing?

1602
01:17:38,039 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 5: Man, I don't know, just ten minutes, that's a little.

1603
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:45,039
Speaker 1: It's Mike.

1604
01:17:45,159 --> 01:17:48,159
Speaker 2: I was with you when Dan suggested we should do this,

1605
01:17:48,239 --> 01:17:49,479
and I thought like, oh, why are we going to

1606
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:51,560
take like three four minutes out of the show? And

1607
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,880
then I saw it was ten minutes, and then increased

1608
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,079
my apprehension until I started watching.

1609
01:17:56,079 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: You know how many times I watched a twenty seven

1610
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,439
minute trailer for Meddal Years, allid Twins next in college,

1611
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:03,439
Give me all you got of that?

1612
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 5: That's not that's not a trailer anymore.

1613
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:07,239
Speaker 1: That was pretty much every cute in the game.

1614
01:18:07,239 --> 01:18:12,319
Speaker 5: But I remember that one. That one was wild. Yeah,

1615
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,319
so Dan, you liked the trailer, then.

1616
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:19,319
Speaker 2: I liked the trailer. And I followed a similar trajectory

1617
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:22,000
to Dan with my experience with Death Strainding where the

1618
01:18:22,039 --> 01:18:24,399
original when it originally came out, I'm like, what the

1619
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:27,399
fuck is this? Why am I Norman retis? And then

1620
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,479
the director's edition came out or director's cut edition came out,

1621
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:31,239
and then.

1622
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,159
Speaker 1: I don't know what why? Then I started to get

1623
01:18:35,199 --> 01:18:36,359
it same.

1624
01:18:38,039 --> 01:18:40,399
Speaker 4: Time, because it's not like the director's cut actually really

1625
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:43,239
added that much of consequence. It was just we were

1626
01:18:43,279 --> 01:18:45,680
removed from the expectations of it and the mystery. It's like,

1627
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:47,600
and then we just met it on its own terms.

1628
01:18:47,359 --> 01:18:50,039
Speaker 2: And right, really fun game because I think I then

1629
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,720
like detached it from like, oh, this is a strand game.

1630
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:57,600
I'm playing with a bunch of people, and now it's like, oh, okay, cool,

1631
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:01,520
I'm just walking and and and Norman Reatis is occasionally

1632
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:05,960
grunting and this is interesting. Yeah, yeah, it is okay, cool,

1633
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,399
I fell down a hill. That's funny. My pizza box

1634
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:09,840
is now on the fucking floor.

1635
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,520
Speaker 5: I have not had that turnaround with that trending yet.

1636
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,199
Maybe I need to go back to the original. This

1637
01:19:16,319 --> 01:19:19,680
STROWU to me, was mostly just a series of incomprehensible

1638
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,319
images and words I have to.

1639
01:19:21,239 --> 01:19:22,239
Speaker 1: Do this, okay.

1640
01:19:22,279 --> 01:19:26,079
Speaker 2: And I think it's hitting me specifically at a fantastic

1641
01:19:26,119 --> 01:19:30,199
point because I just watched like all of David Lynch's

1642
01:19:30,199 --> 01:19:34,840
films sharing the past, so like seeing this and like,

1643
01:19:35,119 --> 01:19:36,920
oh no, yeah, that all makes sense.

1644
01:19:37,239 --> 01:19:39,520
Speaker 4: You asked this, Jan, I think you're the qualified person

1645
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:43,399
on this podcast. I answer this what is more incomprehensible

1646
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:45,520
death stranding or Kingdom Hearts.

1647
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 1: Kingdom Hearts okay, well, I mean I don't necessarily disagree

1648
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:54,720
with that, Okay, but you'll complain about the death stranding part.

1649
01:19:55,239 --> 01:19:59,399
Speaker 5: Kingaharts is fun to play, and.

1650
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,319
Speaker 1: You know, Duck said, I will say, with Donald Duck

1651
01:20:02,319 --> 01:20:07,279
and guest Randing, Donald Duck or Normans come on the pole.

1652
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:09,039
I have no feelings about.

1653
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:12,760
Speaker 2: Mike. I'll go Donald Duck on that one.

1654
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 5: But thank you, thank you. I appreciate it. Kind of

1655
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,439
there's something there that's a similar energy. I'm not gonna

1656
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:19,520
know what it is.

1657
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 1: They or something.

1658
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 5: So yeah, hey, that's coming out this June. That's a

1659
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:29,159
big game for people to look forward to.

1660
01:20:30,119 --> 01:20:32,640
Speaker 3: And specifically because I'm pretty sure I have it in

1661
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:34,880
Fantasy Critic, then good luck.

1662
01:20:35,279 --> 01:20:39,119
Speaker 5: Let's that Donald Duck destroying Norman Retas in this poll very.

1663
01:20:39,159 --> 01:20:41,239
Speaker 2: I mean, Norman Reata is just come on.

1664
01:20:41,199 --> 01:20:43,079
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go to bad for Norman? Really?

1665
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:44,119
Who will?

1666
01:20:44,159 --> 01:20:47,159
Speaker 4: Besides maybe the only I've only seen him in dest Randing,

1667
01:20:47,159 --> 01:20:49,159
and it's I like it not because of him necessarily.

1668
01:20:49,279 --> 01:20:52,199
Speaker 1: The Walking Dead franchise will go to bad for Norman Retis.

1669
01:20:53,359 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 5: Uh, Yesterday was Mario Day, but it was also the

1670
01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:01,800
thirtieth anniversary of Krono Trigger the I on JPG. Squarenex

1671
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,920
is promising commemorative projects, but it's announced various projects to

1672
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:10,319
celebrate sugar thirty anniversary. What the projects are is not clear,

1673
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,039
but they could include a new game, merchandise, or new

1674
01:21:13,079 --> 01:21:16,880
releases re releases. Fans have long requests at a remake,

1675
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,800
but outside of ports, the game has not been revisited

1676
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:23,079
as frequently as Final Fantasy for Sugar, released in nineteen

1677
01:21:23,119 --> 01:21:25,840
ninety five for the snees, was developed by a dream

1678
01:21:26,039 --> 01:21:31,039
team her and Nubusakagucci usually Hori and a Kiratriyama. When

1679
01:21:31,079 --> 01:21:33,399
the Cronacross sequel came out nineteen eighty nine, a remake

1680
01:21:33,399 --> 01:21:36,279
of that came out in twenty twenty two. So yeah,

1681
01:21:36,319 --> 01:21:39,319
you know, credl Trigger is super beloved. They've never done

1682
01:21:40,159 --> 01:21:45,000
a lot with it, and it sure seems like at

1683
01:21:45,119 --> 01:21:49,079
least a new version of the original Crow Sugar is due.

1684
01:21:49,119 --> 01:21:52,199
That is a game that you cannot play on modern platforms.

1685
01:21:52,199 --> 01:21:55,199
There's they had a bad mobile version and they ported

1686
01:21:55,239 --> 01:21:57,319
that over to Steam, so it's on Steam.

1687
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:02,079
Speaker 4: The asport was so good got me into a classic JRPG.

1688
01:22:02,119 --> 01:22:03,880
I think it's the best JRPG I've ever played. That

1689
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:04,840
d S one's awesome.

1690
01:22:05,119 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 5: I think I think for most people it's it's for

1691
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:10,039
a lot of people it's the best APG they ever played,

1692
01:22:10,039 --> 01:22:12,319
because it kind of is just the best JRPG. It's

1693
01:22:12,359 --> 01:22:16,359
a beautiful as incredible music, great character is a fun

1694
01:22:16,399 --> 01:22:17,479
battle system.

1695
01:22:17,159 --> 01:22:18,720
Speaker 1: It's paced very well.

1696
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's actually a lot shorter than a lot of

1697
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:25,439
other JRPGs, and that works to its benefits. So yeah,

1698
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,079
every you know in it. If if you don't think

1699
01:22:28,079 --> 01:22:30,920
you like JRPGs, this is still the one that you

1700
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:34,000
should try. And I hope they do something to to

1701
01:22:34,159 --> 01:22:36,399
re release it again. I don't know if I need

1702
01:22:36,399 --> 01:22:39,000
the whole HD two D treatment for this game. May

1703
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,319
maybe I'm a bit of a purist there, but just

1704
01:22:41,399 --> 01:22:43,600
some way to present it to a new audience.

1705
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:48,119
Speaker 2: I wonder if they haven't tried to go back to

1706
01:22:48,319 --> 01:22:51,159
Chrono Trigger, because it kind of was that perfect storm

1707
01:22:51,199 --> 01:22:54,279
of all the elements firing off and the right people

1708
01:22:54,319 --> 01:22:56,319
in the right time and place in their careers for

1709
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,119
this game to pop off the way it did. I

1710
01:22:59,159 --> 01:23:02,960
will say I think Crona Trigger is better than Tony

1711
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:04,039
Hawk pro Skater five.

1712
01:23:05,119 --> 01:23:09,119
Speaker 1: I will thank Jan you know what, Jan, Yeah, that's fair. Yes, okay,

1713
01:23:09,239 --> 01:23:12,199
there we go very big of all of you. It's

1714
01:23:12,199 --> 01:23:15,359
better than Project Date. Wow. Whoa, whoa.

1715
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,319
Speaker 3: There's actually a soft spot for Project Date in my heart.

1716
01:23:18,359 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: And it's a good game. But I think Trigger is

1717
01:23:21,039 --> 01:23:21,600
a great game.

1718
01:23:22,119 --> 01:23:26,640
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, I yeah, So you know, re releasing Crono

1719
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:28,319
Trigger in some way, and you know we had the

1720
01:23:28,399 --> 01:23:32,039
Cronocross remester not too long ago, that makes sense. A

1721
01:23:32,079 --> 01:23:34,560
brand new Chrono game. I think a lot of people

1722
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:36,239
still want that and want to see what that is.

1723
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:40,159
It's hard to imagine what that even looks like. Right

1724
01:23:40,279 --> 01:23:43,119
Soccer Fucci is doing his own thing. Ugi Horri is

1725
01:23:43,159 --> 01:23:47,079
still a square Enix. Actually, Kiriyama fortunately or Torri Alm

1726
01:23:47,079 --> 01:23:51,880
excuse me a unfortunately passed away, So you can't bring

1727
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,479
those elements together again. And I'll think people necessarily just

1728
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:56,560
want another game like Crono Cross. That was part of

1729
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,720
the thing of Cronocross was it was so different from

1730
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,640
Crono Trigger. It was kind of a sequel through a

1731
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:06,279
few references and connective narrative ties, but largely its own

1732
01:24:06,319 --> 01:24:08,560
thing that works for the Final Fantasy series a lot.

1733
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,640
I don't know if people want another Square Knicks series

1734
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:14,840
where there's slight connective tissues that we call it Chrono

1735
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:18,359
and we're supposed to get excited. So maybe Crona Triggers

1736
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:21,439
and Crona cross are not one offs but two offs.

1737
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:25,600
But still, let's get Crona Trigger remade, remastered or something.

1738
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:30,159
Speaker 2: I have a question for y'all. Is Frog from Chrono

1739
01:24:30,359 --> 01:24:33,600
Trigger on the Mount rushmore of video game frogs?

1740
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:38,680
Speaker 1: Maybe George Washington look so good? Frog Frog ger.

1741
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:42,399
Speaker 4: I like the Acarina frogs, but that's kind of a

1742
01:24:42,399 --> 01:24:47,319
group of frogs. There's individual frogs. I think Frog might be.

1743
01:24:47,319 --> 01:24:51,399
Speaker 5: George Washington, might be George Washington. Great Ninja, green Ninja,

1744
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:52,359
not a bath from.

1745
01:24:52,239 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: Slip slip, slippy toad yeah slippy Yeah, but Frog got

1746
01:24:57,920 --> 01:24:58,560
Frog's theme.

1747
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:03,520
Speaker 2: There's there's a frog in that Star Wars Jedi game.

1748
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 5: Right, everybody liked that little guy, that little freak.

1749
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, all right?

1750
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 5: Next up here Andyan Jones in the Fantastic Circle. Excuse me,

1751
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,319
Jeff Grub must have just wrote that the Great Circles

1752
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:20,640
PS five release date may have appeared online. PS five

1753
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,199
release date for the game, which released in twenty twenty

1754
01:25:23,199 --> 01:25:26,039
four on Xbox inn PC, may be out there. French

1755
01:25:26,079 --> 01:25:29,920
retail sources indicate a physical release of April seven, HEH

1756
01:25:30,359 --> 01:25:35,000
twent twenty five, suggesting a simultaneous digital release. Game received

1757
01:25:35,039 --> 01:25:38,600
positive reviews upon release, with critics praising its adventurous elements

1758
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:42,079
in blockbuster fields. Developer Machine Games is working on story

1759
01:25:42,119 --> 01:25:44,279
dealc called The Order of the Giants, which is also

1760
01:25:44,399 --> 01:25:47,159
set to launch this year. This is, of course, a

1761
01:25:47,199 --> 01:25:52,640
part of Microsoft's multi platform expansion strategy. I liked this

1762
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,720
game a good amounts when it came out on Xbox,

1763
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,279
it was on PC. I'm hoping that more people discover

1764
01:25:58,319 --> 01:25:59,960
it once it hits PlayStation five.

1765
01:26:00,319 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 2: Oh, I think this will have a fantastic second life.

1766
01:26:03,319 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's so weird with a lot of Xbox

1767
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,680
games because it's hard to get a sense of if

1768
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:14,720
it was successful or not, because one, they're not going

1769
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,520
to share sales numbers, and two, like sales numbers wouldn't

1770
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,239
tell the whole story anyways, because game passes a thing.

1771
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:23,039
Sometimes I wonder if even they really know how to

1772
01:26:23,079 --> 01:26:26,079
measure a game's success or not. So okay, so tell

1773
01:26:26,159 --> 01:26:29,239
us the game is a success, like with High Fi Rush,

1774
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:33,079
then they'll dismantle the studio anyways until somebody else scoops

1775
01:26:33,119 --> 01:26:35,920
them up. So I hope that game was a success.

1776
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:39,319
I would like to get at least one sequel to it.

1777
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:43,279
We'll see what this story DLC is all about, are

1778
01:26:43,319 --> 01:26:47,199
you guys much for like big story DLC drops that

1779
01:26:47,199 --> 01:26:50,560
that never really has totally been mind a while, It.

1780
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:53,600
Speaker 2: Can never like cultivate the momentum for it.

1781
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:56,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like that for whatever reason, was like

1782
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:00,520
Layer of the Shadow Broker, you know, like that era the.

1783
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,039
Speaker 2: Nervous then for me is the one that like is

1784
01:27:03,119 --> 01:27:04,600
the exception to the rule, I think.

1785
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:10,039
Speaker 1: But yeah, A Bribon one was good. Shivering Isle awesome. Man.

1786
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,199
Speaker 5: See when I played Oblivion, shivering Isles had already been now,

1787
01:27:13,279 --> 01:27:15,199
so like it was actually the first thing I accidentally

1788
01:27:15,199 --> 01:27:17,199
did in that game was I discovered, So I was

1789
01:27:17,199 --> 01:27:19,159
like level two doing Shivering Isle.

1790
01:27:19,359 --> 01:27:23,079
Speaker 4: I think my favorite game like story DLC was probably

1791
01:27:23,079 --> 01:27:25,119
Fallout three because they had like five of them. They

1792
01:27:25,159 --> 01:27:28,119
all were in like different locations, the pit, the UFO one,

1793
01:27:28,199 --> 01:27:30,600
they all had like their own kind of gimmick, right fun.

1794
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:32,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's.

1795
01:27:32,039 --> 01:27:35,640
Speaker 3: Because I think the timing matters to the time distance

1796
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:38,560
between right is like important.

1797
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 5: It works. We I feel like we don't get those

1798
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:44,119
kind of big DLC story based drops anymore like we

1799
01:27:44,239 --> 01:27:47,880
used to, Like you know, foul Face seven remake got

1800
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:49,720
one of them, but then Rebirth They're like, we're not

1801
01:27:50,079 --> 01:27:52,479
doing that this time. The first Spider Man game got

1802
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:54,279
a bunch of them. It's Spider Man two, Like, we're

1803
01:27:54,319 --> 01:27:56,640
not doing that anymore. So some ways, it seems like

1804
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,880
it's maybe becoming a little old fashioned, if anything. Yeah,

1805
01:28:00,039 --> 01:28:02,680
get expand alone, so people just start working on the

1806
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:04,479
sequel now, et cetera, And so.

1807
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 3: It seems like we're on the the other side of

1808
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:08,600
the heyday.

1809
01:28:08,279 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 2: Of that for sure.

1810
01:28:09,199 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 4: I started playing something that had a reorder quest, which

1811
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:16,760
that brought me back to like Arkham City, you know,

1812
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:18,640
or Arkham City was like even weirder where it was

1813
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,680
like you know, game Spot and Walmart and or game Stop,

1814
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,000
you know, had different ones for that. But like, yeah,

1815
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:25,640
when I saw pre order Quest, I was like, man,

1816
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:26,479
I haven't thought of.

1817
01:28:26,399 --> 01:28:29,239
Speaker 1: That in a while. Usually it's like you know, outfits

1818
01:28:29,239 --> 01:28:29,920
and stuff like that.

1819
01:28:31,359 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 3: I real quick on Indiana Jones. I think about that

1820
01:28:35,039 --> 01:28:39,960
game a lot still because I'm still recommending it to people,

1821
01:28:40,159 --> 01:28:46,039
and I it's it's not my place to say. I know,

1822
01:28:46,119 --> 01:28:49,800
it's all. It's not a brand new conversation. I just

1823
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:54,800
can't get past like the feeling I had finishing that

1824
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:56,960
game and just wondering what it would have been like

1825
01:28:57,039 --> 01:29:00,079
fully third person. There's just a part of me that, like,

1826
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:04,039
for whatever reason, I know, again it's my opinion, does

1827
01:29:04,079 --> 01:29:07,680
not matter. I am in no standing to comment directly

1828
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,600
on it, but I wonder what it would be like

1829
01:29:11,119 --> 01:29:14,640
in third person, Like that game flirts just enough with

1830
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:19,520
it where like you see yourself enough and you know,

1831
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:23,640
I just I don't know. I really just cared a

1832
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:25,560
lot about that during my play. I don't know why

1833
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:27,439
I couldn't shake it. I just thought about it a lot.

1834
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:30,680
Speaker 2: Do you think they just wanted to avoid any potential

1835
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:32,239
comparisons with like Uncharted?

1836
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:33,159
Speaker 1: Is why?

1837
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:38,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, Because the character matters so much. The

1838
01:29:38,079 --> 01:29:40,399
fact that you're Indiana Jones matters a whole hell of

1839
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:42,359
a lot. It matters way more than the fact that

1840
01:29:42,359 --> 01:29:43,680
you're Nathan fucking Drake.

1841
01:29:44,039 --> 01:29:45,640
Speaker 4: You know, if they could ever do like was it

1842
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,720
Village and uh are seven that eventually had the like, oh.

1843
01:29:51,239 --> 01:29:54,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if it's in

1844
01:29:54,119 --> 01:29:57,520
the DNA. I think Machine Games is like, you know,

1845
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:03,279
the Wolfenstein shooter thing they don't know will break them somehow,

1846
01:30:03,319 --> 01:30:06,199
I don't, you know, joking, but like you know that.

1847
01:30:06,279 --> 01:30:09,560
Speaker 2: Like Young Bloods was like the co op one right, Yeah, I.

1848
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:14,640
Speaker 1: Swear there was a third person mode in that, but

1849
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,000
I could just be imagine. I never played. I remember, yeah,

1850
01:30:17,239 --> 01:30:18,840
thart of it and dropped off pretty quick.

1851
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:22,439
Speaker 5: Yes, earlier conversation about co op shooters. We kind of

1852
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:24,920
forgot that, Like Machine Games was fantastic made one and

1853
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:26,319
no we really seemed to care.

1854
01:30:27,079 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 1: Uh all right.

1855
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 5: A new uh Lego Mario Kart set aimed at adults

1856
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:33,880
has appeared online ahead of an official announcement. The Lego

1857
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:38,159
Mario Kart Mario and Standard Kart surfaced online and Nintendant

1858
01:30:38,199 --> 01:30:42,720
later confirmed these details. Comprising one and seventy two pieces,

1859
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:47,880
it's rated eighteen plus due to build complexity, and is

1860
01:30:48,199 --> 01:30:51,880
priced at two hundred and fifty dollars AU. Is that Australian?

1861
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 1: Yes, I ordered it. I think it was like one

1862
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:55,119
sixty nine in the US.

1863
01:30:56,079 --> 01:30:57,640
Speaker 5: I could not do the conversion in my heads. I

1864
01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:00,840
appreciate that the set features of build up a Mario

1865
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,479
figure in his iconic cart along with a stand for

1866
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:07,680
dynamic display desipay to be officially revealed on hopes probably.

1867
01:31:08,039 --> 01:31:08,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1868
01:31:08,239 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 5: So anyways, Also that Lego game Boy thing is expected

1869
01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:14,079
to come out about a five Daniel, Like all these

1870
01:31:14,119 --> 01:31:16,439
video game Lego things, you did go ahead to pick

1871
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:16,920
this one up.

1872
01:31:17,119 --> 01:31:19,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like Lego stuff in general. I just put

1873
01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:21,319
together the Jaws set and that was a fun one.

1874
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:22,760
Oh yeah, that's a good one.

1875
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,359
Speaker 1: That's cool. The problem is these things take a lot

1876
01:31:25,399 --> 01:31:27,640
of space, and I put together a lot of them.

1877
01:31:28,279 --> 01:31:29,920
I think, Mike, when you came here, you might see me,

1878
01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:35,199
And they take up space. My millennium falcons in my bathroom. Big, well,

1879
01:31:35,239 --> 01:31:36,920
you don't throw it out, what you're done?

1880
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 5: No?

1881
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:43,079
Speaker 3: I keep the boxes too, and all the I shit

1882
01:31:43,239 --> 01:31:47,239
you not. I heard someone genuinely say that they throw

1883
01:31:47,319 --> 01:31:51,000
them away. No, not that they throw them away. But

1884
01:31:51,199 --> 01:31:54,279
asked me because you know we've built like the Mario

1885
01:31:54,359 --> 01:31:57,680
TV yes, and all the ship around the house. And

1886
01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:00,479
like someone was just like, well you're done, Bill, why

1887
01:32:01,039 --> 01:32:02,000
like you know the.

1888
01:32:02,279 --> 01:32:06,079
Speaker 2: Older person yeah, boomery. I was like, fucking for real.

1889
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:08,600
Speaker 4: What but when you do a lot, like I've done

1890
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:10,279
every one of the Nintendo Ones, and it's like, okay,

1891
01:32:10,279 --> 01:32:11,239
great the Nintendo Ones.

1892
01:32:11,239 --> 01:32:13,319
Speaker 1: I've got the space above the fireplace downstairs. I'll just

1893
01:32:13,319 --> 01:32:14,880
put them all up there. Got space for a couple

1894
01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:15,560
more maybe.

1895
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:16,039
Speaker 2: Uh.

1896
01:32:16,159 --> 01:32:17,680
Speaker 4: But then it's like, okay, I'm done the jaw set.

1897
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:19,760
I do the globe thing, and I do the falcon

1898
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:21,840
and all this shit. It's just like, these are this

1899
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:22,680
is things.

1900
01:32:23,039 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 3: This is Lego's biggest achilles heel. Yeah, this is the

1901
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,680
biggest problem, aside from the like wild amounts of plastic

1902
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:34,239
that they used. But like that, yeah, what do you do?

1903
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:35,279
There's a ceiling.

1904
01:32:35,359 --> 01:32:37,760
Speaker 4: I've sold some when I'm done with them where it's

1905
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:39,600
just like all right, I had my fun with this.

1906
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:42,159
This bat batmobi always on display for a year, and

1907
01:32:42,199 --> 01:32:44,399
now I'll just sell it fully assembled and just be like, hey,

1908
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:45,319
here's the box too.

1909
01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:46,920
Speaker 3: Glue it before you sell it.

1910
01:32:47,279 --> 01:32:48,399
Speaker 1: I've heard done glue stuff.

1911
01:32:48,399 --> 01:32:50,880
Speaker 2: Now I think there's glue it.

1912
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:52,399
Speaker 5: He breaks it, you break it a part again when

1913
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:53,880
you sew it, so people can put it back together.

1914
01:32:54,359 --> 01:32:56,840
Speaker 4: I think when I've moved out of Connecticut, i sold

1915
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:58,319
a handful of them. I think I just gave him

1916
01:32:58,319 --> 01:33:01,239
to total like full, and then because that that proves

1917
01:33:01,279 --> 01:33:04,720
like hey, look it's you know, it's yeah, it's got everything.

1918
01:33:05,159 --> 01:33:05,720
Speaker 2: You give them a.

1919
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:08,000
Speaker 3: Little sledgehammer and you're like, this is what you'll need

1920
01:33:08,039 --> 01:33:08,720
when you get home.

1921
01:33:09,079 --> 01:33:12,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh they need to slow down on these.

1922
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:14,439
Speaker 4: And I'm glad they're slowing down on Ambo's because it's

1923
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:16,119
just like things that I just keep buying and it's.

1924
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:19,159
Speaker 3: Like, all right's there's still Ambos, there's.

1925
01:33:19,039 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 1: Still they don't make too many any man, but well,

1926
01:33:22,119 --> 01:33:23,279
yeah I miss them.

1927
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:28,159
Speaker 5: Uh Tell's switch two upgrades revealed by the FCC amebo

1928
01:33:28,279 --> 01:33:31,560
speaking of faster Wi Fi and more so. Yeah, so

1929
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:34,000
we're kind of got some uh more ideas about this

1930
01:33:34,039 --> 01:33:37,079
system between NFC support so you'll have a meebo, a

1931
01:33:37,159 --> 01:33:40,079
second USB se port on top for charging, and Wi

1932
01:33:40,199 --> 01:33:44,239
Fi six support. I wonder, you know, the NFCU support.

1933
01:33:44,319 --> 01:33:46,079
I wonder how much love that's going to get or

1934
01:33:46,079 --> 01:33:48,439
if part of that is just well, this system has

1935
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:50,920
to be backwards compatible if I'll switch one game, so

1936
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:54,279
we gotta have that, and you know, an NFC uh

1937
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:58,319
ports or whatever reader thing probably isn't that expensive.

1938
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:04,600
Speaker 2: I can't imagine I with with how weird the stuff

1939
01:34:04,680 --> 01:34:07,680
for the switch to may be I don't imagine. Well,

1940
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:11,720
I don't know, it's another excuse to sell things, right, Yeah,

1941
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:12,359
I mean.

1942
01:34:12,319 --> 01:34:14,199
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe this is a good time for me.

1943
01:34:14,279 --> 01:34:14,840
Speaker 1: But to make a.

1944
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:22,880
Speaker 3: Comeback, stop putting put radio the radio antenna whatever. I mean,

1945
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:25,840
it's like eleven cents. It's like, you know, like you're

1946
01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:27,359
just on there by default.

1947
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:29,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think it maybe is just a matter

1948
01:34:29,039 --> 01:34:31,960
of making sure that this system is as backward compatible

1949
01:34:32,159 --> 01:34:34,199
as possible. And I'm sure there will still be some

1950
01:34:34,279 --> 01:34:38,039
games that have some amoebo support, like you know, Echoes

1951
01:34:38,039 --> 01:34:39,960
of Wisdom. I think did do something if you put

1952
01:34:40,079 --> 01:34:41,520
a zelda a meebo on it. I don't think they

1953
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,479
made a news Zeda. I think there were like a

1954
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:46,720
couple outfits you could get.

1955
01:34:47,039 --> 01:34:48,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one of tho things where you can scand

1956
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:50,359
like three ambo a day, like Breath of the Wild

1957
01:34:50,359 --> 01:34:51,199
and Tears the Kingdom did.

1958
01:34:51,239 --> 01:34:55,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, nothing really, Dan, I gotta say, buddy, first

1959
01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:58,319
time I went to your apartment in Manhattan, I'm like,

1960
01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:00,399
you know, you live in an apartment and and it's

1961
01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:02,840
not that big. No one has big apartments of Manhattan.

1962
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:04,840
I get in, I'm like looking at your dogs.

1963
01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:07,039
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that's cool. I look around and.

1964
01:35:07,039 --> 01:35:11,680
Speaker 3: I'm greeted with this ameebo.

1965
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:15,279
Speaker 2: Shrine, and I'm just sort of like, do I gotta

1966
01:35:15,319 --> 01:35:16,159
get the fuck out of here.

1967
01:35:16,239 --> 01:35:18,520
Speaker 1: It's a lot more now, and the thing is like

1968
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:19,840
all the new ones that just kind of keep in

1969
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:22,479
the packaging. So it's like it just takes up so

1970
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:24,800
much more space, and it's like you don't have any plan.

1971
01:35:25,119 --> 01:35:27,119
I don't like buy stuff to sell it. So it's like, no,

1972
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:29,840
they're just one filling upward tubs in my storage room,

1973
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:30,479
Like there's just.

1974
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:32,319
Speaker 3: One wrong above Funko pops Buddies.

1975
01:35:32,359 --> 01:35:34,800
Speaker 1: Hey, now, don't they things you can't take back? I've

1976
01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:37,840
been That's why I said it. I believe it, and

1977
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:38,319
I mean it.

1978
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 5: I know I'm a mild funk pop defender, only a

1979
01:35:42,039 --> 01:35:42,479
mild one.

1980
01:35:43,239 --> 01:35:44,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, No one's a full blown defender.

1981
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:46,159
Speaker 5: No one's that much of a sa.

1982
01:35:49,079 --> 01:35:49,359
Speaker 1: Folks.

1983
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:52,800
Speaker 5: So, yeah, supposedly you switch, you has Wi Fi six

1984
01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:55,199
instead of the Wi Fi five in the original switch.

1985
01:35:55,239 --> 01:35:58,079
Aside from recognizing that's a larger number, I don't really

1986
01:35:58,079 --> 01:35:59,680
know what that means, but apparently that means the Wi

1987
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:02,800
Fi will be a bit faster the Steam deck ole

1988
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:06,680
that has Wi Fi six Yeah, yeah, which is better. Yeah,

1989
01:36:07,359 --> 01:36:09,319
it could have been better, but I guess we'll take

1990
01:36:09,359 --> 01:36:11,840
what we can get there. Hey, we're not that far

1991
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:16,479
away from that April second big kind of coming out

1992
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:19,199
party for the Switch to so soon we're gonna finally

1993
01:36:19,399 --> 01:36:21,640
learn a lot more about this thing and the game's

1994
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:23,000
coming out for it, and that's exciting.

1995
01:36:23,279 --> 01:36:24,760
Speaker 1: What other colors do you think they're going to have

1996
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:25,239
at launch?

1997
01:36:26,279 --> 01:36:28,479
Speaker 5: They might not have any additional color. Well, I'm trying

1998
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:30,439
to think the original Switch they did have more than.

1999
01:36:30,399 --> 01:36:33,399
Speaker 2: Just the red and the Joy had the gray and

2000
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:34,159
the red and blue.

2001
01:36:35,279 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 1: There was a gray option that was great.

2002
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:40,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah that's what I got because I I wanted

2003
01:36:40,239 --> 01:36:41,520
my Switch understated.

2004
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:44,720
Speaker 1: Classy yeah class.

2005
01:36:46,239 --> 01:36:50,159
Speaker 5: Uh. RoboCop Broke City is getting a sequel this summer.

2006
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:55,800
Standalone sequel called Unfinished Business, set to release this summer

2007
01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,880
for Places of five, Xbox Series, x NUS and PC plays,

2008
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:03,319
will reprise the role as Alex Murphy battling heavily armored

2009
01:37:03,399 --> 01:37:07,840
mercenaries in Omni Tower, a high tech housing complex. So yeah,

2010
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:10,800
this Rogue City was a surprisingly good game that it

2011
01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:13,439
came out in November twenty twenty three. But I think

2012
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:16,960
doing a standalone, expand alone kind of thing for that

2013
01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:20,279
will be neat. Apparently there might be some flashback sequences

2014
01:37:20,279 --> 01:37:25,239
where you play as a normal bass Alex Murphy before RoboCop,

2015
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:27,159
which part of me is like, that's kind of neat

2016
01:37:27,159 --> 01:37:28,960
in other parts like, who wants to play is just

2017
01:37:29,119 --> 01:37:33,359
Alex Murphy because playing that demo for Rogue City, the

2018
01:37:33,439 --> 01:37:35,119
best part of the game was being RoboCop and just

2019
01:37:35,239 --> 01:37:38,479
lifting people up and throwing them like one hundred feet

2020
01:37:39,199 --> 01:37:40,800
across an alley or something like that.

2021
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:44,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, better than I think people expected it to be.

2022
01:37:44,199 --> 01:37:46,039
And it seems like they did that Terminator game that's

2023
01:37:46,279 --> 01:37:47,479
pretty well received, right.

2024
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so good Niche They gotta find more yeah

2025
01:37:51,279 --> 01:37:53,920
eighties action movies to turn into decent video games.

2026
01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:55,039
Speaker 1: I support that.

2027
01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, a comedy sequel doesn't mean Clover Studio will only

2028
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:02,319
focus on sequels in future. Kamiya says a Clover Studio

2029
01:38:02,399 --> 01:38:05,199
head that Ki Kamya clarifies that the studios work on

2030
01:38:05,279 --> 01:38:08,039
an ecomedy sequel doesn't mean they'll only focus on existing

2031
01:38:08,079 --> 01:38:12,000
ip Kamya and Kento Koyama, who left Platinum Games to

2032
01:38:12,079 --> 01:38:16,359
form Clover's emphasize that they're open to various possibilities, including sequels,

2033
01:38:16,399 --> 01:38:19,960
spiritual successors, and entirely new ip. The key factor for

2034
01:38:20,039 --> 01:38:22,319
them is whether a project is interesting and whether they

2035
01:38:22,359 --> 01:38:26,399
can cloverize it, adding their unique touch. I love them

2036
01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:30,159
things they cloverized. While their first project isn't a comedy sequel,

2037
01:38:30,159 --> 01:38:32,840
Commya stresses that this doesn't limit their future endeavors and

2038
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:37,720
that they're not solely focused on sequels. So that's nice,

2039
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:39,119
even though I'm sure there's a lot of people who

2040
01:38:39,119 --> 01:38:41,920
would be happy if they said their next project was

2041
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:43,159
a beautiful Joe three or so.

2042
01:38:43,399 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the first thing.

2043
01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 3: I really wish they would have waited to say this

2044
01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:49,359
until after that game came out.

2045
01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:51,239
Speaker 1: Uh, I am.

2046
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:54,640
Speaker 5: I am excited to see that Okami sequel. Makes me

2047
01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:57,079
feel guilty for not having finished Okamia. I might even

2048
01:38:57,199 --> 01:38:57,960
go back to.

2049
01:38:58,119 --> 01:38:59,640
Speaker 1: That one comedy game.

2050
01:39:00,039 --> 01:39:03,119
Speaker 5: It's a very long game. Yeah, yeah, it's a pretty game.

2051
01:39:03,159 --> 01:39:05,960
It's still a very pretty game, so definitely want to

2052
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:07,000
go back to that.

2053
01:39:07,159 --> 01:39:07,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2054
01:39:07,359 --> 01:39:12,159
Speaker 5: I'm glad that Clover's exists. I'm curious to see what

2055
01:39:12,720 --> 01:39:15,560
they come up with over there. I was a mistake

2056
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:17,000
of her, but I thought that this was like now

2057
01:39:17,159 --> 01:39:20,039
a part of Capcom again like the original Clover was,

2058
01:39:20,079 --> 01:39:21,920
But no, it is an independent studio that is just

2059
01:39:22,359 --> 01:39:25,640
working with Capcom, so future projects don't even need to

2060
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:30,840
be Capcom ip necessarily, except you know, do beautiful Joe,

2061
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:35,199
Yes Joe, come on, come on more anti coolactic. The

2062
01:39:35,279 --> 01:39:39,359
heretic profit info has come about. This is Naughty Dog's

2063
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:41,840
upcoming game. It's at two thousand years in the future

2064
01:39:42,079 --> 01:39:44,439
and an alternate timeline that split from Mars in the

2065
01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:48,199
nineteen eighties, where a new religion has evolved. Lead and

2066
01:39:48,239 --> 01:39:50,479
Neil Druckman has been developing the game for four years,

2067
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:54,760
detailing an intricate mythology of the religion's expansion over millennia,

2068
01:39:55,159 --> 01:39:57,000
but as well assume the role of a bounty hunter

2069
01:39:57,079 --> 01:40:00,079
straighted on a desolate planet center of this religion with

2070
01:40:00,159 --> 01:40:03,159
the goal of uncovering its mysteries and escaping the game.

2071
01:40:03,439 --> 01:40:05,840
If What's by Toe's like Halfway two and Monkey Island,

2072
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:07,640
whoa wait a second here, those are just two of

2073
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:11,199
my favorite games. We'll focus on exploration and being lost

2074
01:40:11,239 --> 01:40:13,960
in a confusing world different from Nidok's previous works. Like

2075
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:17,039
the Last of Us, Druckman acknowledges the game's religious themes

2076
01:40:17,199 --> 01:40:20,680
might be controversial. That expresses this fascination with exploring such

2077
01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:23,319
concepts in a sci fi setting. Here's a quote now

2078
01:40:23,359 --> 01:40:25,479
for Druckman, with the Last of Us Too. We made

2079
01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:27,439
a lot of creative decisions that got us a lot

2080
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:30,039
of hate. So the joke is that, hey, let's do

2081
01:40:30,119 --> 01:40:33,800
something people won't care about as much, like faith and religion.

2082
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:38,600
I am all for tackling the subject of religion, and

2083
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:42,000
you'll Druckman has had some takes on this stuff before, though.

2084
01:40:42,119 --> 01:40:45,439
That makes me a little worried what exactly the game

2085
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:49,680
is going to say about religion, more specific religions.

2086
01:40:50,319 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 3: The religion is going to be like the Church of Porsche,

2087
01:40:54,039 --> 01:40:57,520
So I don't really think it's like maybe more of

2088
01:40:57,600 --> 01:40:59,560
the consumerism religion than.

2089
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:04,119
Speaker 5: He said some things before that had a bit of

2090
01:41:04,199 --> 01:41:10,119
a sad what he said, A bit of a zion Zionists.

2091
01:41:10,239 --> 01:41:12,720
I don't even remember science spent to Zionist.

2092
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:15,560
Speaker 2: You didn't know how to say the words zion You

2093
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:17,239
know there's some words you mostly just read.

2094
01:41:18,159 --> 01:41:23,399
Speaker 1: I read the news. I read the news, all right.

2095
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:26,880
Speaker 5: I'm not necessarily listening to NPR as much as maybe

2096
01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:27,319
I should.

2097
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome.

2098
01:41:29,199 --> 01:41:31,479
Speaker 5: But yeah, there's you know, when all this stuff was

2099
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,319
happening with you know, Gussa and Palestine and whatnot.

2100
01:41:34,399 --> 01:41:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

2101
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:35,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about.

2102
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:40,600
Speaker 5: So uh, I'm not maybe as incredibly wellformed as I

2103
01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:41,640
should be, so I'll be careful.

2104
01:41:41,720 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 1: But I didn't know that.

2105
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:44,479
Speaker 2: I didn't know he was. He was loud about that.

2106
01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:47,960
Speaker 5: There was something about that, and that's why people are

2107
01:41:48,159 --> 01:41:51,279
perhaps a little on edge on what he has to say.

2108
01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:56,840
I think that's a topic of religion, so that's fair.

2109
01:41:57,319 --> 01:41:58,560
Speaker 1: Uh, I'm not gonna lie.

2110
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:00,359
Speaker 5: He got me a little bit by saying his main

2111
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:03,279
sources of influence are Half Life two and Monkey Island.

2112
01:42:04,039 --> 01:42:07,159
So I hope the game's fun, but I also hope

2113
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:12,399
that it doesn't have idiotic takes about some very important

2114
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:16,840
and u devastating issues in the world right now.

2115
01:42:17,359 --> 01:42:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2116
01:42:19,319 --> 01:42:22,359
Speaker 5: The video leak revealed Sony is working on AI powered

2117
01:42:22,399 --> 01:42:27,199
PlayStation characters. Sony's scoring AI driven characters. The leaked prototypes

2118
01:42:27,239 --> 01:42:31,439
showing ay from Horizon for Ben and West. Responding to questions.

2119
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:34,159
While the AI quality is currently not on par with

2120
01:42:34,279 --> 01:42:37,920
traditional development and no shit, Sony is hyping it describing

2121
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:41,159
as a prototype developed with Gorilla Games. The expression of

2122
01:42:41,199 --> 01:42:45,039
AI is generating industry attention, as nearly half of gay

2123
01:42:45,079 --> 01:42:50,000
developers are using generative AI tools. This cutrasts with criticism

2124
01:42:50,119 --> 01:42:53,960
Activism received for using AI imagery and marketing that that

2125
01:42:54,079 --> 01:42:57,079
was a story last week when they had AI images

2126
01:42:57,159 --> 01:42:59,880
for fake video games just to try to gauge interest

2127
01:42:59,920 --> 01:43:02,439
for them. I don't know if you all have seen

2128
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:05,880
this video. It's like the worst version of the MILO

2129
01:43:06,159 --> 01:43:07,039
prototype for.

2130
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 4: When there are a few things I can think of

2131
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:13,239
that I would be less interested in than having a

2132
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:16,840
like chat GPT conversation with Aloy.

2133
01:43:17,279 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 1: And that video is just like, who is this for?

2134
01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:24,479
Speaker 5: What do I have to talk to Aloy about? We

2135
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:25,479
got nothing in common.

2136
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:27,399
Speaker 1: I don't like it when she talks in the game.

2137
01:43:28,039 --> 01:43:30,239
Speaker 2: But but here's here's the thing, and like, you know,

2138
01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:33,079
I've played like a baby's handful of hours of the

2139
01:43:33,159 --> 01:43:35,880
Horizon games. Isn't the whole.

2140
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:39,560
Speaker 1: Point is that she's fighting like evil robots.

2141
01:43:39,159 --> 01:43:43,159
Speaker 5: That have taken over the dudes the earth? Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly.

2142
01:43:43,279 --> 01:43:46,920
So there's a dissonence there. It's like not the voice right,

2143
01:43:47,039 --> 01:43:50,920
some AI slop and it sounds as far from realistic

2144
01:43:51,079 --> 01:43:55,600
or human as possible. I just have no idea what

2145
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:59,079
the purpose of this. I know that it gets executives

2146
01:43:59,359 --> 01:44:00,800
rock hard and they see this ship.

2147
01:44:01,159 --> 01:44:03,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it Ai is definitely like the the VC

2148
01:44:04,159 --> 01:44:07,880
Boner of the decade. Listen, listen, though, Mike, you're telling me,

2149
01:44:08,079 --> 01:44:11,079
I know, I know the answer to this. You walk

2150
01:44:11,119 --> 01:44:15,600
into disney World, right, you walk into Disney World, and

2151
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:17,920
if you could engage with an Ai Mickey to like

2152
01:44:18,319 --> 01:44:20,800
have your uh just decide where to go first in

2153
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,239
the park, like oh heard the remark, you know, and

2154
01:44:23,359 --> 01:44:25,840
tells you like there's not a long way at whatever here,

2155
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:27,720
you would love the ship out of that.

2156
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:30,520
Speaker 5: Oh, they absolutely. He had a thing called my Pal

2157
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:32,920
Mickey and like the two thousands, it was a doll

2158
01:44:33,359 --> 01:44:36,640
that interacted with a bunch of like NFC readers, place

2159
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:38,239
arout the park and the doll would talk to you

2160
01:44:38,399 --> 01:44:40,479
and be like, oh yeah, the parts of the Caribean

2161
01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:42,760
doesn't have a very long line right now. Huh kind

2162
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:46,119
of thing. Oh Yeahessey is absolutely gonna try getting in

2163
01:44:46,239 --> 01:44:48,119
on this slop. Also, they all are you know?

2164
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:50,640
Speaker 2: That was my point is that you're gonna love it.

2165
01:44:51,199 --> 01:44:53,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if I love it. I think I

2166
01:44:53,399 --> 01:44:54,199
may not like it.

2167
01:44:54,600 --> 01:45:00,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, like they tried introducing right Mike, like, uh AI

2168
01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:04,319
checkout stands that, like we're absolutely hated throughout the parks.

2169
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:07,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, there's stuff like that. I mean, Genie Plus

2170
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:09,880
was using AI to like try to give you all

2171
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:11,760
these recommendations on what you should do your day and

2172
01:45:12,239 --> 01:45:16,359
sort of retreated from that. We're all just gonna be

2173
01:45:16,359 --> 01:45:20,239
stuck in this heuscape of people throwing random darts on

2174
01:45:20,399 --> 01:45:23,840
the AI board to see what sticks and realize very

2175
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:26,279
little does, and then we're just gonna further fall down

2176
01:45:26,279 --> 01:45:27,039
to our dystopia.

2177
01:45:27,399 --> 01:45:29,960
Speaker 3: Just fucking cure cancer. Just shut the fuck up and

2178
01:45:30,079 --> 01:45:32,640
fucking cure cancer. Okay, you want to make you want

2179
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:34,439
to make you want to make all these screensaver, you

2180
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:37,359
want to make AI generate screensavers fromuntil the end of

2181
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:44,960
goddamn time, Go ahead, but cure fucking cancer. First stop cancer.

2182
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,960
Speaker 5: But what if you could talk to Aloy about her day? No,

2183
01:45:48,279 --> 01:45:51,680
just just just it's not a real person, there's no day.

2184
01:45:52,199 --> 01:45:55,600
Speaker 3: And I also hope, like you know, I don't I

2185
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:59,960
understand everyone is like hyper horny to inject some semblance

2186
01:46:00,079 --> 01:46:02,520
of AI into their thing. When AI has become this

2187
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:07,439
like dumpster catch all category for everything, not dissimilar to

2188
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:10,199
like HD and four K and adding a plus to

2189
01:46:10,239 --> 01:46:12,560
the end of your dumb ass fucking thing, But like,

2190
01:46:13,119 --> 01:46:16,960
what are what's the plan humanity? Is the plan to

2191
01:46:17,159 --> 01:46:21,439
like just eliminate every job on earth so that either

2192
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:25,560
there's universal basic income or is it like you're gonna

2193
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:28,399
fucking need someone to pay for the shit you're selling.

2194
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:32,279
And if nobody's working, there's no fucking money. So who's

2195
01:46:32,319 --> 01:46:34,640
buying the shit you're selling? If all it is is

2196
01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:38,199
robots talking to each other? What are what's the plan.

2197
01:46:40,079 --> 01:46:40,560
Speaker 5: The government?

2198
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:41,359
Speaker 1: What's the plan?

2199
01:46:42,199 --> 01:46:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like we've had like years, decades even

2200
01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:51,720
worth of literature and media pointing exactly to where we're

2201
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:55,479
at right now, right, Yeah, what's the plan? Show me

2202
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:56,439
your plan?

2203
01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:57,720
Speaker 3: Show me your roadmap?

2204
01:46:58,039 --> 01:47:00,720
Speaker 5: Is that you're gonna go home and turn on your

2205
01:47:00,760 --> 01:47:03,479
TV so you can talk to Aloy about the backstory

2206
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:07,720
to Horizon and there's gonna be so much Okay, all right,

2207
01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:08,880
that's your entertainment.

2208
01:47:08,960 --> 01:47:13,039
Speaker 2: Now excuse my language. The same fucking chuds that complain

2209
01:47:13,079 --> 01:47:16,720
about how Aloy looks are gonna fire this thing up

2210
01:47:17,119 --> 01:47:18,039
and whip it out.

2211
01:47:18,239 --> 01:47:18,760
Speaker 1: And jerk.

2212
01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:22,199
Speaker 5: It's so fucking hard it's going to immediately get turned

2213
01:47:22,239 --> 01:47:25,079
into weird things like that, right, we.

2214
01:47:29,039 --> 01:47:29,079
Speaker 2: Know.

2215
01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:35,520
Speaker 5: Ah, last thing here, blizz Con is back. Bliz Entertainment

2216
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:38,159
announced that bliz Con the Ultimate Say and they're also.

2217
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:41,560
Speaker 1: Gonna whip it out at bliz Finally it's back.

2218
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,920
Speaker 5: It's returning to the Anahi Convention Center. Gonna be September twelfth.

2219
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:50,720
September thirteenth used to happen more around early November. It's

2220
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:54,319
interesting because they don't just always do blizz Cons anymore.

2221
01:47:54,399 --> 01:47:56,720
Of course, Uh, the first time they didn't do it

2222
01:47:56,840 --> 01:47:59,439
was because of the pandemic, but then there was all

2223
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,720
the you know, the issues happening at Blizzard, and then

2224
01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:05,439
it got sold to Xbox. Even since then, the last

2225
01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:08,399
one was in twenty twenty three, So now it is

2226
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:09,880
kind of like, oh, they don't do one of these

2227
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:11,439
unless they kind of maybe feel.

2228
01:48:11,239 --> 01:48:13,720
Speaker 1: Like they have some stuff to show off and talk about.

2229
01:48:14,199 --> 01:48:16,880
Speaker 5: So perhaps we are going to get at least one

2230
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:24,479
big Blizzard announcement here, a new game watch Overwatch there,

2231
01:48:24,640 --> 01:48:26,359
they'll be overwatched stuff, and I don't think we're gonna

2232
01:48:26,359 --> 01:48:26,920
get like Overwatch.

2233
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:27,119
Speaker 2: Three.

2234
01:48:27,159 --> 01:48:29,800
Speaker 5: People seem to be happier with Overwatch. In a while,

2235
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:33,039
you know, they'll talk about the next World of Workouts expansion,

2236
01:48:33,319 --> 01:48:36,840
which we already know is called Midnight. I believe they'll

2237
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:39,079
talk about, you know, a Harpstone thing and whatnot. But

2238
01:48:39,159 --> 01:48:41,199
you know, maybe this is where you hear about a

2239
01:48:41,359 --> 01:48:47,239
new StarCraft or some new ip, something biggish like that.

2240
01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:50,680
I have to say, of all the kind of gamey

2241
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:53,279
conventions I have covered, I have always had the most

2242
01:48:53,319 --> 01:48:56,680
fun at BlizzCon. They have always put on a pretty

2243
01:48:57,279 --> 01:49:00,600
good show and experience there. It doesn't hurt that it

2244
01:49:00,720 --> 01:49:03,720
is literally right across the street from Disneyland. I was

2245
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:07,560
gonna say, yeah, I've always had a good time at

2246
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:10,680
bliz Con, so they're doing that show again. I would

2247
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:12,119
like to be able to go. I don't know if

2248
01:49:12,399 --> 01:49:14,399
any of you have much of an interest in bliz Con.

2249
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:16,319
I don't know how many Blizzard games you're consuming.

2250
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:20,319
Speaker 2: I have an interest in Disneyland, so if given the opportunity,

2251
01:49:20,600 --> 01:49:22,439
I'll hang out at blizz Con for a bit.

2252
01:49:23,239 --> 01:49:25,399
Speaker 5: And Hey, the Overwatch stuff there they have is usually

2253
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:28,319
pretty fun because there's like a separate esports arena, so

2254
01:49:28,399 --> 01:49:30,239
they'll do stuff with that and you get to try

2255
01:49:30,319 --> 01:49:33,359
out the new heroes or whatever. And you know there's

2256
01:49:33,399 --> 01:49:37,319
a time there where I was like especially at at

2257
01:49:37,399 --> 01:49:40,279
games beat, Like my beat was Blizzard almost because they

2258
01:49:40,319 --> 01:49:43,960
were so popular with oh yeah, the Blizzard beat because

2259
01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:46,760
Overwatch and Harvestone were popping off, or to workout was

2260
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:49,359
still popular. So so much of my time was just

2261
01:49:49,399 --> 01:49:52,960
covering blizzards. So it was very productive times that I

2262
01:49:53,039 --> 01:49:57,520
had at blizz Con. Uh all right, that is the news, Jen,

2263
01:49:57,640 --> 01:49:59,560
I'm handing this show back over to you. That's what

2264
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:00,000
Jeff said.

2265
01:50:00,399 --> 01:50:05,359
Speaker 3: Hey Mike, that was amazing. Oh for real, like really good.

2266
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:06,239
I love you, buddy.

2267
01:50:06,439 --> 01:50:08,399
Speaker 5: Oh, I appreciate that. I love you to thank you.

2268
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:09,039
Speaker 2: Great news.

2269
01:50:09,520 --> 01:50:09,720
Speaker 1: Dan.

2270
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:11,880
Speaker 2: Also, good job. I don't want you to go without

2271
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:12,680
loving this second.

2272
01:50:12,760 --> 01:50:15,279
Speaker 3: So no, no, Jan, thank you, Jan, No, no, no,

2273
01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:16,800
He'll he'll take that back.

2274
01:50:19,239 --> 01:50:21,359
Speaker 2: Sorry Dan, Sorry, Dan.

2275
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 1: Now you used to back. Larry's just such a nice guy.

2276
01:50:25,159 --> 01:50:27,159
Speaker 2: You know, time, time change, people change. What can I say?

2277
01:50:27,199 --> 01:50:27,800
Speaker 1: You can win them over.

2278
01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:30,439
Speaker 5: In the third segment, Dan, I believe such a good

2279
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:32,760
job with the emails. Okay, thank you, Thanks, Let's see

Speaker 2: That's right, folks, we'll be back with emails right after

2282
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:40,039

2288
01:51:05,399 --> 01:51:06,600
Speaker 1: Bomcast johnbom dot com.

2289
01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:08,920
Speaker 2: If you want to avoid this awkward social interaction, or

2290
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:11,039
you have a thought that you need to get out

2291
01:51:11,079 --> 01:51:13,560
and you need to sentence someone, send it us and

2292
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:17,239
we may potentially read it on air. I love and

2293
01:51:17,279 --> 01:51:20,920
appreciate all of you emailing to keep doing that. I'm

2294
01:51:20,920 --> 01:51:24,439
also digging through the spam folder because Gmail has suddenly

2295
01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:29,800
become fucking trash and as putting a bunch of not

2296
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:33,800
spam and the spam anyway. First email is about deaths

2297
01:51:33,800 --> 01:51:37,359
Straining two and comes from Rich. Can Dan explain what's

2298
01:51:37,399 --> 01:51:38,359
going on in that trailer?

2299
01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:38,560
Speaker 5: No?

2300
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:44,439
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, well I'll stop moving uh they Rich continues.

2301
01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:48,680
My takeaway was solid Snake is smuggling brain dead, brain

2302
01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:52,560
dead pregnant women with his zombie army, but is also

2303
01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:56,319
a puppet. Then an Ouz Colossus wears metal gear Rex's

2304
01:51:56,399 --> 01:51:59,279
head as a hat. Is this just Hideo Kojima saying

2305
01:51:59,319 --> 01:52:02,680
he's taking his stuff back after the breakup. The daylight

2306
01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:04,920
savings time just messed with my attention span, so I

2307
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:07,319
missed everything. Thanks everyone, and have a good week.

2308
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:07,800
Speaker 1: Rich.

2309
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:10,079
Speaker 4: I think the only thing I could say with any

2310
01:52:10,119 --> 01:52:12,960
confidence based on that is that I don't think Solid

2311
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:14,159
Snake is also the puppet.

2312
01:52:14,199 --> 01:52:17,600
Speaker 1: I think the puppet is a different entity than Solid Snake.

2313
01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:20,840
Oh like doll man puppet? Yeah?

2314
01:52:21,119 --> 01:52:22,920
Speaker 4: Or is he saying like a metaphorical puppet, because I

2315
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:25,560
mean Solid Snake was a metaphorical puppet of the government

2316
01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:26,920
and metal You're solid of course.

2317
01:52:27,079 --> 01:52:30,079
Speaker 5: Symbolism symbolism, symbol that's right.

2318
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:31,560
Speaker 2: No, there's none of that here.

2319
01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2320
01:52:33,840 --> 01:52:35,680
Speaker 4: No, I don't have any pucket idea what's going on

2321
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:37,840
in that story or the first nor will you ever

2322
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:40,479
watch every scene, heard everything that that game, I'm to say,

2323
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:42,680
and I had a good time with it. Couldn't tell

2324
01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:45,159
you a single foot What did you like about the game?

2325
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:49,680
Walking around, building roads, He's got good walking around, He's

2326
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:52,239
got great walking around. The ziplines were fantastic.

2327
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:55,239
Speaker 1: Hyah, I like a zip line, Yeah, I do like

2328
01:52:55,319 --> 01:52:59,079
the the the tripping gun that was fun.

2329
01:52:59,239 --> 01:53:01,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, the the like bolo thing or whatever, Yeah, that

2330
01:53:01,640 --> 01:53:03,920
was good. Yeah, it's just it's a fun game to play,

2331
01:53:04,479 --> 01:53:04,640
you know.

2332
01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:07,119
Speaker 3: I'm still stuck on the whole David Lynch comparison, and

2333
01:53:07,159 --> 01:53:09,079
I feel like that's David Lynch.

2334
01:53:09,359 --> 01:53:11,399
Speaker 2: No, No, I think at one hundred percent makes sense

2335
01:53:11,520 --> 01:53:14,920
because a hundred like a bunch of people will watch

2336
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:17,920
a David Lynch film and be like that was weird.

2337
01:53:18,520 --> 01:53:21,239
I liked it, right, I can not be able to

2338
01:53:21,279 --> 01:53:22,399
explain anything from it.

2339
01:53:23,039 --> 01:53:26,399
Speaker 4: It's very funny to me that the first objective indust

2340
01:53:26,479 --> 01:53:30,760
randing is take the corpse of your president mom to

2341
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:33,960
the top of a volcano for cremation, if I remember correctly.

2342
01:53:35,399 --> 01:53:37,479
Speaker 1: It's just very funny. Yeah.

2343
01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2344
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:44,359
Speaker 1: I did David Lynch and Hadeo Kajima ever meet? Almost

2345
01:53:44,399 --> 01:53:47,640
certainly right at some point, I don't know. The good

2346
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:51,279
question loves meeting holly people, and he's usually very successful.

2347
01:53:51,840 --> 01:53:55,319
Speaker 2: But on the flip side, does it work where David

2348
01:53:55,359 --> 01:53:56,640
Lynch would have liked to meet?

2349
01:53:57,520 --> 01:53:58,039
Speaker 1: I think so.

2350
01:53:59,279 --> 01:54:00,840
Speaker 2: I think so because because he would have just been like,

2351
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:04,199
oh here's another weird guy, all right, cool? Yeah you

2352
01:54:04,239 --> 01:54:06,640
think they would have like bonded in their weirdness. Yeah,

2353
01:54:06,680 --> 01:54:09,960
because I think, like, like weird energy respects weird energy.

2354
01:54:10,279 --> 01:54:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well David.

2355
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:14,479
Speaker 4: Had lunch with my wife and I've met Kajima, so

2356
01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:16,159
we're just a couple degrees of separation.

2357
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:19,159
Speaker 2: There we go, It technically has happened. Then the other

2358
01:54:19,239 --> 01:54:25,760
power of friendship. Next email comes from Jeff in Quebec. Surprise,

2359
01:54:26,319 --> 01:54:29,640
The BombCast is now subtitled by AI. What are the

2360
01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:32,920
little adjectives in parentheses next to everyone's name used to

2361
01:54:32,960 --> 01:54:37,279
describe their tone and personality? Example Mike parentheses chirpie. This

2362
01:54:37,399 --> 01:54:40,119
reminds me of Disney Dan parentheses naive.

2363
01:54:40,319 --> 01:54:42,279
Speaker 1: No, that's gross. There's no MAO on that. No, it's

2364
01:54:42,439 --> 01:54:43,720
Jan gross. No, you've read that wrong.

2365
01:54:45,439 --> 01:54:49,479
Speaker 2: Jan amazed ever realize how it's actually YouTube advanced but

2366
01:54:49,560 --> 01:54:53,960
without ads, so it's advanced. Shut the fuck up, Jeff

2367
01:54:54,000 --> 01:55:00,359
from Quebec? Is that true? Was this like a converse? No,

2368
01:55:00,439 --> 01:55:01,199
he's just positing.

2369
01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:04,479
Speaker 3: No, I'm saying, are is the bomb? Guest subtiped oh

2370
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:05,640
on Spotify again.

2371
01:55:07,279 --> 01:55:10,640
Speaker 5: I bet backer will get amused a lot, or like

2372
01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:16,760
annoyed annoyed amused not I want to say.

2373
01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:21,560
Speaker 1: Belligerent, No, not belligerent, No, belligerent that's not no.

2374
01:55:22,279 --> 01:55:29,159
Speaker 5: Grubs would be like agro okay, yeah, yes, yes, and tauntingly.

2375
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:34,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean pretty pretty solid.

2376
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:43,800
Speaker 5: It's pretty solid for shoot when he's being sincere shootingly shootingly.

2377
01:55:43,920 --> 01:55:47,239
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Uh. I'm trying to think of one for

2378
01:55:47,359 --> 01:55:52,399
Nikki because I Nikki has a bunch of just sayings

2379
01:55:52,680 --> 01:55:55,760
that they're always dropping. That I just gives me a

2380
01:55:55,840 --> 01:55:56,399
small pop.

2381
01:55:57,039 --> 01:56:00,119
Speaker 5: Starting to talk like Nikki and like my person in

2382
01:56:00,199 --> 01:56:03,680
all life, how I picked up a lot of their mannerisms.

2383
01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:06,680
I'm saying, makes you think all the time, thinking.

2384
01:56:06,880 --> 01:56:12,520
Speaker 2: Constantly was almost like a a twang. Yeah.

2385
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:15,239
Speaker 5: I just love the way Nikki talks, is what I'm saying.

2386
01:56:16,439 --> 01:56:19,439
Speaker 3: There's but there do you do you hear that? There

2387
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:22,359
is like almost like a Southern thing going on there?

2388
01:56:23,119 --> 01:56:28,520
Speaker 5: So there's like a waight's what you're trying to say?

2389
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:31,479
Speaker 2: I think, no, No, you're right about there is a

2390
01:56:31,560 --> 01:56:34,840
southern it's a southern California thing. I knew that was gone.

2391
01:56:34,920 --> 01:56:41,319
I knew that was so Yeah, makes you think, makes

2392
01:56:41,399 --> 01:56:44,520
you think, Yeah, I want you to know.

2393
01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:47,159
Speaker 5: I read your newsletter and I quit piano lessons once too,

2394
01:56:47,439 --> 01:56:52,640
and under much much more reasonable, much less reasonable situation

2395
01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:53,760
than you did, So don't feel.

2396
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 1: Bad about it. Quick guitar lessons almost immediately. Yeah, these

2397
01:56:57,840 --> 01:57:00,199
lessons are kind of boring. It's like, man, I'm either

2398
01:57:00,239 --> 01:57:02,359
going to be self taught or nothing. My fingers aren't

2399
01:57:02,359 --> 01:57:03,720
going to move like that. What are you talking about?

2400
01:57:04,239 --> 01:57:07,640
Speaker 2: Did you was your music classes like solo dolo so

2401
01:57:07,760 --> 01:57:09,479
like one on one or like in a one on

2402
01:57:09,600 --> 01:57:10,560
one piano thing?

2403
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:10,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2404
01:57:11,359 --> 01:57:12,600
Speaker 2: What do you think would have changed that?

2405
01:57:13,439 --> 01:57:16,159
Speaker 1: Like, may may entice you to do it if your

2406
01:57:16,239 --> 01:57:18,039
instructor was cooler, if.

2407
01:57:17,920 --> 01:57:22,279
Speaker 5: My fingers correctly, they're able to come to my place

2408
01:57:22,359 --> 01:57:24,039
to teach me whenever I wanted.

2409
01:57:23,840 --> 01:57:27,000
Speaker 1: To come on, I learned bad.

2410
01:57:27,039 --> 01:57:29,079
Speaker 5: It's like this is something I had to do at

2411
01:57:29,159 --> 01:57:31,840
five o'clock every Wednesday for the foreseeable future. I just

2412
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:32,199
don't know.

2413
01:57:32,319 --> 01:57:33,439
Speaker 2: So you were forced to do this?

2414
01:57:34,199 --> 01:57:36,439
Speaker 5: No, no, I I paid this person. I wanted to

2415
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:37,000
learn piano.

2416
01:57:37,279 --> 01:57:38,239
Speaker 1: But at college.

2417
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:44,520
Speaker 3: Oh jesus, what the hell? Like I understand a parent

2418
01:57:45,119 --> 01:57:49,439
uh in you know, uh enforcing this on a child.

2419
01:57:49,920 --> 01:57:52,800
You're going to learn piano. You're but like there has

2420
01:57:52,920 --> 01:57:58,159
to be some uh willingness to accept the information of

2421
01:57:58,319 --> 01:58:00,119
like music theory and to like unders.

2422
01:58:00,239 --> 01:58:03,479
Speaker 5: Wanted to learn piano. I did it wants to enough?

2423
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:06,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess there have, but there has to be

2424
01:58:06,279 --> 01:58:10,359
like some openness to the to the the thing, right,

2425
01:58:10,479 --> 01:58:12,600
Like you can't just be like I want to get

2426
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:14,439
better at being a carpenter or something, you know what

2427
01:58:14,479 --> 01:58:14,720
I mean.

2428
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:17,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, piano is difficult because there's so much like

2429
01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:20,840
learning to play piano. It's such a long process before

2430
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:24,239
you're actually playing songs, and like you're playing piano like.

2431
01:58:24,319 --> 01:58:25,239
Speaker 1: This tin whistle thing.

2432
01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:28,800
Speaker 5: Pretty quickly, I could play a song on a tin

2433
01:58:28,920 --> 01:58:32,439
whistle and at least felt like I was approximating being

2434
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:33,199
a musician.

2435
01:58:33,439 --> 01:58:36,000
Speaker 7: Why is that thing within arms reach at all times?

2436
01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:39,439
What is happening right here? I got my Yeah, this

2437
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:41,199
is my D. This this is my first one, my

2438
01:58:41,279 --> 01:58:43,239
beginner one. This is the woody it kind of has

2439
01:58:43,600 --> 01:58:45,720
a deeper sid. And then right over here this is

2440
01:58:45,800 --> 01:58:46,399
the big boy.

2441
01:58:47,239 --> 01:58:50,640
Speaker 2: This is the big D all of yours.

2442
01:58:51,199 --> 01:58:52,840
Speaker 5: And he said, this is this is right here. It's

2443
01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:54,479
called a low D actually, but I like to call

2444
01:58:54,479 --> 01:58:55,319
it the big deep.

2445
01:58:59,119 --> 01:59:02,199
Speaker 3: Be fun fun, Yeah, that's the word. They first came

2446
01:59:02,199 --> 01:59:02,800
into my mind.

2447
01:59:04,840 --> 01:59:06,319
Speaker 2: Mike, do you know how to play the ukulele?

2448
01:59:07,239 --> 01:59:09,199
Speaker 5: No, my brother does. He had to play it out

2449
01:59:09,239 --> 01:59:12,720
a wedding one time. I'm terrible with Uh, string instruments.

2450
01:59:13,279 --> 01:59:14,800
Never figured out a guitar or anything like that.

2451
01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:21,119
Speaker 2: I don't have the long strength to play any wind instruments.

2452
01:59:21,600 --> 01:59:25,319
I Uh you mean wind, yeah, or brass. I played

2453
01:59:25,359 --> 01:59:28,840
tuba in high school, and uh, that's so impressive, Like,

2454
01:59:28,960 --> 01:59:32,720
I'm shoot impressed, boxious. It was it was a bad

2455
01:59:32,800 --> 01:59:34,680
It was a it was a wrong choice because it

2456
01:59:34,840 --> 01:59:36,800
was just like I'm gonna do what everyone else does,

2457
01:59:36,840 --> 01:59:42,119
but have to carry around this giant metal contraption while

2458
01:59:42,159 --> 01:59:42,640
I'm doing it.

2459
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 5: And also all the parts I play are boring bass

2460
01:59:45,720 --> 01:59:46,439
backing parts.

2461
01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you've got more tuba energy than anyone I know.

2462
01:59:50,039 --> 01:59:52,960
Speaker 5: I know it's not shocking to anybody that I played to,

2463
01:59:53,119 --> 01:59:55,039
but I know tuba energy.

2464
01:59:55,119 --> 02:00:01,960
Speaker 2: That's good. He has since entered a rehabilitation program. Uh,

2465
02:00:02,119 --> 02:00:06,039
and I am his sponsor here. So Travis and Fargo

2466
02:00:06,199 --> 02:00:08,720
has a couple emails and it has not gone out

2467
02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:10,600
to me the Travis is misbehaving.

2468
02:00:11,279 --> 02:00:13,680
Speaker 1: So we have a bunch of emails this week.

2469
02:00:13,520 --> 02:00:17,640
Speaker 2: Actually, but I'll read one of Travis's. Does the younger

2470
02:00:17,760 --> 02:00:21,119
generation have a wonderwall? A song where if you're at

2471
02:00:21,159 --> 02:00:23,680
a house party and there's a guitar laying around there's

2472
02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:26,399
like an eighty percent chance someone will start playing it.

2473
02:00:29,239 --> 02:00:31,960
Speaker 4: One thing I've noticed with generations younger than me, like

2474
02:00:32,079 --> 02:00:35,159
at weddings and stuff, is if like a pop punk

2475
02:00:35,279 --> 02:00:38,079
thing comes on, everyone loses their fucking minds.

2476
02:00:38,119 --> 02:00:42,079
Speaker 1: If there's a fallout boy or a what a good Charlotte?

2477
02:00:42,359 --> 02:00:43,600
Speaker 2: Or why is that weird?

2478
02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:46,279
Speaker 1: What do you mean? I guess because it wasn't a

2479
02:00:46,319 --> 02:00:50,000
thing when I was younger, but it was. I hated

2480
02:00:50,079 --> 02:00:52,359
it though, Okay, yeah, I.

2481
02:00:52,359 --> 02:00:53,000
Speaker 2: Guess what are we saying?

2482
02:00:53,079 --> 02:00:55,119
Speaker 4: It's by how popular it is, because like it'll come

2483
02:00:55,199 --> 02:00:56,920
on and it'll be like, oh, I thought people lated

2484
02:00:57,039 --> 02:00:59,479
this song like everyone's freaking out singing it and stuff.

2485
02:01:00,279 --> 02:01:03,439
Speaker 3: I mean, you know when Yeah, I guess that's just you, like,

2486
02:01:03,640 --> 02:01:07,520
you know, understanding popular culture. I guess in a public way.

2487
02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:10,680
I guess that's you know, it's like some one or something.

2488
02:01:10,800 --> 02:01:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2489
02:01:11,600 --> 02:01:14,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, A lot of people chan say maybe mister bright

2490
02:01:14,439 --> 02:01:17,479
side by the Killers. I could see that the generation.

2491
02:01:17,880 --> 02:01:20,199
I could see that. I karaoke mister Bright's side quite

2492
02:01:20,239 --> 02:01:21,720
a bit. So I guess I'm guilty of it too.

2493
02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:26,319
Speaker 3: I mean, I do think like my Chemical Romance and

2494
02:01:26,479 --> 02:01:29,760
Blink one eighty two and to some degree or maybe

2495
02:01:29,840 --> 02:01:33,520
with older people Green Day, like, are without a doubt

2496
02:01:33,840 --> 02:01:37,239
that thing that you are describing, Dan there is.

2497
02:01:37,399 --> 02:01:39,359
Speaker 1: I just were getting angry every time I even saw

2498
02:01:39,560 --> 02:01:42,520
my chemical romance like a picture. You know what, I

2499
02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:42,840
don't know.

2500
02:01:42,960 --> 02:01:48,560
Speaker 4: I'm saying. This is like the weird Paul record programming

2501
02:01:48,600 --> 02:01:49,279
that I was raised with.

2502
02:01:49,439 --> 02:01:51,640
Speaker 1: Dan, I said, wouldn't do it now. I said, the

2503
02:01:51,640 --> 02:01:52,880
emails were your big chance.

2504
02:01:55,680 --> 02:01:57,319
Speaker 4: When I see a new thing, like I see someone

2505
02:01:57,359 --> 02:01:58,760
on SNL that I'm like, I don't know who this

2506
02:01:58,800 --> 02:01:59,840
person is and I don't get it.

2507
02:02:00,039 --> 02:02:01,960
Speaker 1: But I'm not like girl. I used to be gir

2508
02:02:02,039 --> 02:02:03,359
because my dad taught me girl.

2509
02:02:03,840 --> 02:02:06,279
Speaker 3: You know, I like, no, but you could be girl

2510
02:02:06,439 --> 02:02:10,359
at like uh, I don't know, uh even good Charlotte Gerr.

2511
02:02:10,439 --> 02:02:12,720
Speaker 2: I can get behind you know, but I'm with you

2512
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:15,479
on that. But like my chemical romance.

2513
02:02:15,239 --> 02:02:19,159
Speaker 1: Oh, I remember deeply them in Lincoln Park and all

2514
02:02:19,199 --> 02:02:20,479
that stuff. I just couldn't see.

2515
02:02:20,560 --> 02:02:26,239
Speaker 2: Now now some ship high school man that's afy the

2516
02:02:26,319 --> 02:02:27,399
few pants, I can't.

2517
02:02:28,600 --> 02:02:31,439
Speaker 1: No, I listen to corn or Lincoln Park or any

2518
02:02:31,439 --> 02:02:32,720
of that stuff. I was just hearing it.

2519
02:02:33,079 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 3: You know, Well, well, okay, no, because I'm with you

2520
02:02:37,600 --> 02:02:40,600
there on Lincoln Park. But I think I just I know,

2521
02:02:40,720 --> 02:02:43,880
I know, look, it's a generation. That's a generational thing, okay,

2522
02:02:43,960 --> 02:02:48,199
but like but like conflating blink and Lincoln Park is

2523
02:02:48,319 --> 02:02:48,920
like dumb.

2524
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:49,479
Speaker 2: I think I know.

2525
02:02:49,520 --> 02:02:52,319
Speaker 4: I'm saying, like anything that was made after nineteen seventy

2526
02:02:52,359 --> 02:02:54,479
eight I was just told was not really.

2527
02:02:54,319 --> 02:02:56,439
Speaker 3: And I'm the old guy. And I'm the old guy,

2528
02:02:56,640 --> 02:02:56,920
got it.

2529
02:02:57,079 --> 02:02:58,479
Speaker 1: God, this is a great regret of mine.

2530
02:02:58,880 --> 02:03:00,279
Speaker 4: In the nineties, when I was getting in to like

2531
02:03:00,279 --> 02:03:02,079
to hear rage against Machine or Sound Garden that back,

2532
02:03:02,119 --> 02:03:03,520
Oh I like this, my dad would be like, well,

2533
02:03:03,560 --> 02:03:05,680
it's not real music, and I'd be like what. So

2534
02:03:05,840 --> 02:03:08,319
like I was like mocked for liking new music, and

2535
02:03:08,439 --> 02:03:10,000
so I think I just kind of built this defense

2536
02:03:10,039 --> 02:03:11,760
thing of like all new stuff is bad. And then

2537
02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:13,239
as I got older, I was like, man, there was

2538
02:03:13,239 --> 02:03:14,600
so much great stuff in the nineties. I wish I

2539
02:03:14,640 --> 02:03:17,720
could have listened to more Pearl Jam and Sound Garden James.

2540
02:03:17,439 --> 02:03:19,359
Speaker 2: And you know which I was free to listen to

2541
02:03:19,479 --> 02:03:25,279
that I was, yeah, like, all right, fair enough, God,

2542
02:03:25,399 --> 02:03:27,800
I'm seeing both of those bands this summer and I'm

2543
02:03:27,920 --> 02:03:33,520
so fucking excited. MCR sure oh h. And I don't

2544
02:03:33,560 --> 02:03:35,600
know why I decided to do this, But I decided

2545
02:03:35,600 --> 02:03:38,880
to buy Lincoln Park tickets in Brooklyn just because.

2546
02:03:40,079 --> 02:03:41,119
Speaker 3: Popeye Popeye.

2547
02:03:41,479 --> 02:03:41,840
Speaker 2: Of course.

2548
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:45,560
Speaker 3: Of course there's a there's a tour this this, oh

2549
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:50,119
it's uh this Summer, The Offspring, Newfound Glory and Jimmy

2550
02:03:50,399 --> 02:03:54,479
World okay, which is like an interesting trio there. Dan

2551
02:03:54,560 --> 02:03:55,159
hates all of those.

2552
02:03:55,199 --> 02:03:56,399
Speaker 1: B I did hate all those.

2553
02:03:56,880 --> 02:03:59,840
Speaker 2: I will say, uh, I don't think I'm gonna assume

2554
02:04:00,119 --> 02:04:04,680
gen Z parties don't have uh someone ready to play guitar.

2555
02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:08,600
It's someone like saying past me the ox chord or

2556
02:04:08,640 --> 02:04:12,239
whatever some Spotify ship and when we play this AI

2557
02:04:12,359 --> 02:04:17,079
DJ or something. But people will fucking go insane if

2558
02:04:17,199 --> 02:04:18,800
panic at the disco starts playing.

2559
02:04:18,920 --> 02:04:19,560
Speaker 1: That's one of them.

2560
02:04:20,279 --> 02:04:20,479
Speaker 5: True.

2561
02:04:20,880 --> 02:04:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know their songs are like sentences. You know.

2562
02:04:24,880 --> 02:04:27,399
Speaker 4: I was deeply annoyed by any band that wrote songs

2563
02:04:27,439 --> 02:04:30,640
about being like sad or whining or any what are

2564
02:04:30,640 --> 02:04:31,680
you doing that?

2565
02:04:32,439 --> 02:04:32,840
Speaker 1: Millionaire?

Speaker 1: Is Zepplin and skinnered and stones.

2569

2570
02:04:39,960 --> 02:04:41,720
Speaker 1: I not depending it.

2571
02:04:41,760 --> 02:04:44,680
Speaker 4: I'm just like I always hated whenever any musician complained about, like,

2572
02:04:44,680 --> 02:04:47,279
what are you talking about being sad you got your millionaire.

2573
02:04:47,359 --> 02:04:49,800
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, yeah, you're not allowed to have problems.

2574
02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:51,920
Speaker 1: I know, I know they like trust me as I've

2575
02:04:51,920 --> 02:04:52,319
gotten older.

2576
02:04:52,319 --> 02:04:53,439
Speaker 4: It's like I used to that was my big thing

2577
02:04:53,520 --> 02:04:56,239
with Lincoln Park, Like, oh yeah, I'm sure there's super millionaires.

2578
02:04:56,439 --> 02:04:59,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, life stuck. I'm sure they got a real tough life.

2579
02:04:59,600 --> 02:05:01,560
And then it's well, okay, you know what.

2580
02:05:03,159 --> 02:05:03,359
Speaker 2: You know.

2581
02:05:03,680 --> 02:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I realize how wrong that thinking was.

2582
02:05:06,079 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 2: I'm okay.

2583
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:08,840
Speaker 3: If you just stop admitting it too, I'm okay, if

2584
02:05:08,920 --> 02:05:10,600
like you just stopped talking about how it used to

2585
02:05:10,640 --> 02:05:11,239
be like that, we.

2586
02:05:11,239 --> 02:05:12,840

2650
02:09:01,159 --> 02:09:03,399
and they have a trivia fun fact that I didn't

2651
02:09:03,439 --> 02:09:05,640
believe was real and I have not done the research

2652
02:09:05,720 --> 02:09:09,039
to see if it's a shoot or not. Dear BombCast,

2653
02:09:09,319 --> 02:09:11,319
I love trivia and wanted to share a fun trivia

2654
02:09:11,319 --> 02:09:14,039
effect each week Trivia Fact of the week, first week

2655
02:09:14,079 --> 02:09:17,079
of March. They have not written the second or third

2656
02:09:17,720 --> 02:09:22,239
fun fact, so Simon, I'm waiting. Canola as in cooking oil,

2657
02:09:22,720 --> 02:09:29,960
is an abbreviation for Canadian oil low acid. Genetically modified

2658
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:32,399
type of rape seed plant is a yellow flower and

2659
02:09:32,520 --> 02:09:34,800
is beautiful in the summer when there feels full of them.

2660
02:09:35,279 --> 02:09:36,640
Speaker 1: Well thanks Simon from.

2661
02:09:37,800 --> 02:09:39,560
Speaker 5: Were we basing a letter on grape seed?

2662
02:09:41,640 --> 02:09:44,920
Speaker 4: Literally googled what is canola? And I saw the answers like, oh,

2663
02:09:45,000 --> 02:09:47,039
I could see why they did some rebranding.

2664
02:09:48,600 --> 02:09:50,239
Speaker 5: But no one went in rape seed oil.

2665
02:09:50,479 --> 02:09:54,439
Speaker 1: Weird? Yeah, OK, yeah.

2666
02:09:54,640 --> 02:09:57,520
Speaker 2: One of my favorite like Korean bancha, like the little

2667
02:09:57,560 --> 02:10:01,399
side dishes, is like rape flour, so you know.

2668
02:10:01,520 --> 02:10:04,239
Speaker 1: Wow, we could really brand some things better. We can

2669
02:10:04,359 --> 02:10:06,359
change names. We can do that.

2670
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:09,920
Speaker 2: A word like that. Yeah, that's surprised.

2671
02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:13,479
Speaker 1: I know Samon and canoe oil last night. Yeah, it's

2672
02:10:13,479 --> 02:10:17,399
like that's a good high or high smoke point oils low.

2673
02:10:17,520 --> 02:10:18,960
I forget, I forget which one's getting now.

2674
02:10:19,079 --> 02:10:21,520
Speaker 4: So you don't do all you don't do all of you,

2675
02:10:21,600 --> 02:10:26,399
don't do all of you new canola Yeah, yeah, avocado's

2676
02:10:26,399 --> 02:10:26,680

Speaker 1: Yeah.

2678
02:10:27,560 --> 02:10:30,439
Speaker 2: And speaking about changing names, folks, if you missed the

2679
02:10:30,439 --> 02:10:34,000
