Speaker 1: Oh okay, thank you, Mike, Thank you Mike. Speaking about
Speaker 1: strong looks, he's got the strongest eyeballs and games media,
Speaker 1: that's right there, piercing through your soul because he sees
Speaker 1: what you type, he sees what you write, and he
Speaker 1: sees that he needs to look deep into your souls.
Speaker 2: Damn Riker.
Speaker 5: Oh, I don't need to see anyone's souls. I'm fine,
Speaker 5: just general personalities and vibes and someone I can pick up.
Speaker 2: I don't need souls involved.
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like soul is part of the vibe.
Speaker 2: I don't believe in, like shoot souls all right, A
Speaker 2: co captain of this ship.
Speaker 1: Uh, that's all horseship.
Speaker 2: There's no like ghost in me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no ghost in you yet, because you become
Speaker 1: a ghost.
Speaker 6: It's like no, no, no, no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like bread and a toaster. You put
Speaker 1: bread in the toaster. It comes out a toaster, and
Speaker 1: then afterwards.
Speaker 5: Dirt and worms and then no and then I'm done.
Speaker 5: Oh well, we're taught by religion no death.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, right, all right.
Speaker 3: They talked to Dad about death with time. He's just
Speaker 3: straight up in his most normal, damp place, like I'm
Speaker 3: not afraid to die, so pleasant about it. I was like,
Speaker 3: that's you's got nothing to worry about once it's done.
Speaker 3: You know, it loves me wrong about everything. And then
Speaker 3: the Devil's poking in the ads of the pitchfork forever.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 1: For for as much as dumb things we say on
Speaker 1: the internet, I don't think any of us are going
Speaker 1: to hell.
Speaker 7: But we got the dark Lord himself. Go captain of
Speaker 7: the ship je grub Hi Janet. Everyone thinks I'm gonna
Speaker 7: do a hair reveal. My hair's just cold because I
Speaker 7: cut it all off.
Speaker 2: That's all there.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's a hair reveal. That's yeah.
Speaker 4: You know, I had to do it right because everyone
Speaker 4: expected it. But I was just going back under here
Speaker 4: so I can keep warning, like.
Speaker 2: Evil Kermit from that meme. Yeah for people. Yeah, there
Speaker 2: we go, Oh okay, there you go it. Yeah, death.
Speaker 8: Some more's gonna die here for You're gonna feel so bad.
Speaker 8: I think I think he's make a strong argument for any.
Speaker 2: Of us, like dance. Most likely it happened by an accident.
Speaker 1: I think Dan's gonna live forever.
Speaker 5: No, my dad always says that I'm going to have
Speaker 5: a stupid death. It's gonna be something dumb I was doing.
Speaker 5: And it's like I was doing some bit with a
Speaker 5: bear or something. It's gonna be something stupid.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Sure, But the most likely scenario is very Jimmy Carter coded.
Speaker 4: You are just gonna be one hundred and memories, like
Speaker 4: he's not dead yet and you're just gonna keep waiting forever.
Speaker 5: I'm okay, well, yeah, it's alms like to move around.
Speaker 5: I'm not like falling apart.
Speaker 2: I'm cool with that.
Speaker 1: Like my grand gimmicks will be doing a podcast and
Speaker 1: like they'll be just like waiting. It's like we said,
Speaker 1: it is dead dead, Oh okay, uncle Dan, isn't that
Speaker 1: you know?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 5: Genetically, I'm probably gonna be around for a while based
Speaker 5: on my family history, and my dad says that he
Speaker 5: wants to do a podcast with me when he's ninety,
Speaker 5: and I'm seventy and that sounds like the worst piece
Speaker 5: of media that's ever been produced.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't. I can't wait. But in a lot
Speaker 2: of ways, I can wait.
Speaker 5: I can't picture my dad thirty years from now and
Speaker 5: what he would be like.
Speaker 2: I bet he's going to really loosen up a bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a marathon runner, Buddhist. Yeah, just definitely at
Speaker 5: peace with the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, has your dad gotten at all?
Speaker 5: No, there is a video on YouTube if you searched
Speaker 5: for Paul Rekert yoga. I took him to a yoga
Speaker 5: studio and I was a game informer. I'm sure that's
Speaker 5: still up.
Speaker 2: Uh. Yeah, he it did not go well. Yep, here
Speaker 2: here it is. I'll link him the chat, all right.
Speaker 2: He did not like it. He did not enjoy it
Speaker 2: one bit.
Speaker 1: How's everyone else doing with the state of the world,
Speaker 1: the state of ourselves, the state of our lives?
Speaker 3: Fine?
Speaker 2: Why do you ask? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's up for nothing? Nothing? I'm just thinking about my
Speaker 1: life expectancy now because of Mike Manati.
Speaker 2: Oh sure, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Told you this before we went live. Jan but I'm
Speaker 3: very disappointing you for not having crowns.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Mike. I'll talk myart.
Speaker 2: I thought we'd be brothers. Do you get sky rissed up? Wait?
Speaker 2: Does okay? I have a question, Mike.
Speaker 4: Yeah, does Skyrizy treat more than crones? Or did I
Speaker 4: have a weird dream?
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, I want to know what you think. It
Speaker 2: also treats that. I know.
Speaker 4: It was like a list of things like mental health
Speaker 4: and like like your heart and all these different things.
Speaker 4: I think I might have had a sky Rizzy dream.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's an immune community suppressant, so anything that
Speaker 3: would benefit from that.
Speaker 4: I think it does treat skin conditions maybe that's what
Speaker 4: I heard.
Speaker 2: Okay, conditions, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe, Okay, all right, well those are side effects. All
Speaker 4: there's still a chance.
Speaker 2: I had a weird dream about sky Rizzy.
Speaker 1: Who doesn't Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all do because of Mike,
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's the real sky Rizzy is
Speaker 1: that Mike has invaded every aspect of our lives now.
Speaker 2: That Skyrizzy has infused him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. I was like showing a friend like my
Speaker 1: photos on my phone and then they point at Mike
Speaker 1: Manati and they're like, oh, that's Minatia. I'm like, how
Speaker 1: the fuck do you know, dang about that.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't from zero percent knowledge of Mike Manatti to
Speaker 5: Mike Manatti becoming omnipresent in my life, Like overnight, I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: One of the Manana brothers shouts out to a j
Speaker 1: left a comment on a video I made on Instagram,
Speaker 1: and we're like, look at the Manatis.
Speaker 3: Gosh, it was like the voicemail up Chuck or something
Speaker 3: where you guys were just saying the names of my brothers.
Speaker 2: I'm like, they know the names of my brothers. Yes,
Speaker 2: you' all have a podcast we do have.
Speaker 5: We know your birthday, We know your brothers, and we
Speaker 5: know your birthday.
Speaker 6: That's private information. You yelled it at a press conference.
Speaker 6: We sang happy birthday to you. Last year at the
Speaker 6: Game Award.
Speaker 5: I gave numerous Mike NAUGHTI birthday memories I have. I
Speaker 5: don't remember most of my own.
Speaker 1: I can't remember any of my birthday cakes, but I
Speaker 1: can remember all of your case.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I was scheduling something out for my person
Speaker 4: on life and it was on December seventh, which is.
Speaker 2: The day before your birthday. Sorry to docks you.
Speaker 4: And I almost texted you because I'm like, he would
Speaker 4: want to know.
Speaker 2: You woul't want to know. I'm birthday. You should have
Speaker 2: told me.
Speaker 1: And this is all organic, Mike. It's not because you
Speaker 1: have inserted yourself into the narrative at all.
Speaker 2: I would never be loud and obnoxious like that.
Speaker 1: No way, maybe not anxious, but loud, naughty. Oh god,
Speaker 1: this too. I thought I was free of this.
Speaker 2: It's been a while. Mike.
Speaker 4: Naughty Mike, My naughty Mike, Mike, naughty Mike.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Dan, you you you games?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I like the two seconds of song.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's good. We already played a song, so we
Speaker 1: don't need another song for the segment. Sure you you
Speaker 1: have a new console, a new ish console. This hurts
Speaker 1: my brain because I was cleaning up my living room
Speaker 1: and then I had to put my PS five on
Speaker 1: the ground real quick, and then I thought, oh no,
Speaker 1: this is a base PS five damn you.
Speaker 5: Now, brother, God you have a slim And then you
Speaker 5: got the pro? Gotcha, buddy?
Speaker 1: Should I get the PS five pro?
Speaker 2: Dan?
Speaker 1: What's popping with it?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 5: So this is what I've been saying about it and
Speaker 5: thinking about it is you know, they sent it to
Speaker 5: me a week or two before it came out, and uh,
Speaker 5: you know, I played all the ones that have the
Speaker 5: PRO upgrade for the most part, and I was impressed
Speaker 5: by some, you know, some not as much. But to
Speaker 5: just get to that question of like should you get one,
Speaker 5: I'm glad I have one that was sent to me
Speaker 5: and I didn't pay for. I don't know if I
Speaker 5: could say, hey, Jan, you should go spend seven hundred
Speaker 5: on this thing, at least not now, because it is
Speaker 5: right now a little limited in terms of like the
Speaker 5: ones that actually have the PRO you know, enhanced patch
Speaker 5: and all that stuff. I'm sure if you asked me
Speaker 5: a year from now, it might be a different situation
Speaker 5: as it becomes like the more the norm that all
Speaker 5: these big games have gotten the patch, all the new
Speaker 5: ones you know, are already ready for it. As of
Speaker 5: right now, there are certain ones. I think Last of
Speaker 5: Us Part two looks incredible. I think Horizon Horizon looks
Speaker 5: so good it made me consider playing Horizon again or
Speaker 5: actually going forward with the Forbidden West, which I dropped
Speaker 5: out after like four hours.
Speaker 1: When I checked out the PS five Pro at that
Speaker 1: event a couple weeks ago, Horizon impressed me the most,
Speaker 1: and then I thought, man, am I going to play
Speaker 1: through Horizon and get a PS five Pro.
Speaker 5: It looks great, and like, I think there are certain
Speaker 5: use cases if you sit kind of close to your
Speaker 5: TV or like, for instance, I got the one hundred
Speaker 5: inch that we did Extra Life on. It's one hundred
Speaker 5: inch TV that can have the benefit of blowing up
Speaker 5: that resolution quite a bit so. And I am someone
Speaker 5: who's always picked performance mode because I definitely prefer frame
Speaker 5: rate over a result, but I do when I pick
Speaker 5: that in the past. It's like I do have these
Speaker 5: four K TVs. I wish I could see everything in
Speaker 5: four K. I feel like I'm not utilizing everything to
Speaker 5: its full potential. One thing I was surprised by was
Speaker 5: I thought I thought from the marketing, maybe I just
Speaker 5: wasn't paying enough attention. I thought it just eliminated the
Speaker 5: choice where it's like you don't have to pick performance
Speaker 5: or resolution.
Speaker 2: It's just it's pro now.
Speaker 5: And some of them do have that, like Demon Souls
Speaker 5: there's just a mode called PS five Pro where it's
Speaker 5: just like, hey, it all just looks and runs, you know,
Speaker 5: great resolution performance, But there are still a game by
Speaker 5: game there's like okay, Ratchet and Clank, there's Fidelity Pro
Speaker 5: mode you can pick things on like raid tracing, reflections
Speaker 5: and ambient occlusion. It's not as like cut and dry
Speaker 5: as hey, we put them both together. There is some
Speaker 5: tweaking you can do, which ultimately that's not a bad
Speaker 5: thing because I was able to like, even the fidelity
Speaker 5: mode is running at a much better frame rate than
Speaker 5: it would on a base level PS five.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but you do tinker with it a little bit.
Speaker 5: And like Horizon, it has favor Resolution Pro, favor Performance Pro,
Speaker 5: and Balanced Pro, and it's like, okay, do I want thirty,
Speaker 5: forty or sixty frame rates? So you still are tweaking
Speaker 5: with those. It's just like the base level of quality
Speaker 5: of all of them are up a bit, if that
Speaker 5: makes sense.
Speaker 2: And then there are something like.
Speaker 5: Spider Man two, which I think Spider Man two already
Speaker 5: ran so fucking well that like, that's the one I
Speaker 5: could notice the least because that was already just like,
Speaker 5: holy shit, what kind of boodoo we are they doing
Speaker 5: with this PS five, So that one didn't notice as
Speaker 5: much rebirth. I think that was very helpful because if
Speaker 5: you did that in Performance mode, it was definitely a
Speaker 5: bit blurry and soft, and the definitely sharpens everything up
Speaker 5: to use.
Speaker 2: The Rebirth of three Birth.
Speaker 3: That's one that I think that's like one for the
Speaker 3: Final Fantasy Freaks. That kind of makes us alone kind
Speaker 3: of one one because that is a game where yeah,
Speaker 3: you had a frame rate mode, but it really hurt
Speaker 3: the resolution on it, and I still went with it
Speaker 3: because I am generally always going to pick that option.
Speaker 3: I need to have a smooth frame rate if I
Speaker 3: can't have it. But yeah, that's like the comparison case
Speaker 3: where I get the most like, ooh, I do kind
Speaker 3: of want to go back to Rebirth and like, you know,
Speaker 3: do a lot of the postgame stuff I didn't do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and oh that looks it's really nice that you think.
Speaker 1: I bout it?
Speaker 3: Well, does it look seven hundred dollars nice? And then
Speaker 3: you kind of talk yourself off the ledge.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I mean especially seven hundred no disdrive I did.
Speaker 5: They did send me a disdrive as well, so I
Speaker 5: installed that. That was very easy to do. Sure, but yeah,
Speaker 5: it's it is a hard sell right now. It's not
Speaker 5: a thing like I don't know, like PSBR two, I
Speaker 5: never really had faith in that ever becoming worth buying
Speaker 5: because it just didn't seem like it had the support
Speaker 5: behind it.
Speaker 2: I don't feel that way about this. I feel like
Speaker 2: this is.
Speaker 5: A thing that if you really super care about resolution
Speaker 5: and frame rate, and you also have money to blow,
Speaker 5: or you don't have a PS five yet, maybe there's
Speaker 5: some some cases where I would suggest someone buying this
Speaker 5: now if this is uh, if you're in that camp.
Speaker 5: But as far as like if you've got one anyone upgrade,
Speaker 5: I'm sure it's going to be a more worthwhile thing,
Speaker 5: like a year from now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to me, it looks like it's I could see
Speaker 4: the pathway to talking yourself into it, right. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 4: if I get it now, I get you know, the
Speaker 4: most benefit from it for the next years before we
Speaker 4: get a PS six, and we know there's games coming
Speaker 4: like Monster Hunter that will greatly benefit from this, so
Speaker 4: it'll be nice just to have it. There's some games
Speaker 4: maybe I didn't finish, and I already have a PS five,
Speaker 4: so maybe if I sell that PS five that cuts
Speaker 4: down the costs of this thing. Like I see that
Speaker 4: like line of thinking. It's just not as obvious of
Speaker 4: a n upgrade as the PS four Pro and the
Speaker 4: Xbox to one X were and even those weren't like
Speaker 4: slam dunks either. Like, so, I think we're talking about
Speaker 4: maybe a fraction of a fraction here of people that
Speaker 4: really are are gonna show up for this thing, and.
Speaker 2: I think that's fine.
Speaker 4: I think they mostly know that, you know, that's what
Speaker 4: was gonna happen here. I you know, before this thing
Speaker 4: came out, the conversation that I think we most frequently had,
Speaker 4: or the feeling I most frequently had, was that this
Speaker 4: doesn't feel like it makes a lot of sense. I
Speaker 4: don't know if we need this, and now we're here
Speaker 4: and we don't need this, and okay, so what. It's
Speaker 4: not the end of the world. It's maybe nice to
Speaker 4: have at the option, but I'm gonna keep kind of
Speaker 4: pushing off my rear since of getting it personally, which
Speaker 4: is weird, weird for me.
Speaker 2: I usually show up.
Speaker 4: For these things every time. You know, I got to
Speaker 4: say money right now, but whatever, like beyond that, even
Speaker 4: if I wasn't in that situation, I'll be like, I
Speaker 4: don't know, maybe I'm I'm not.
Speaker 2: Going to get this thing.
Speaker 1: I wonder if this is going to push base PS
Speaker 1: five pro sales because people will see or are hoping
Speaker 1: for like a discount on the base model and realizing like, well,
Speaker 1: I maybe don't need a PS five Pro. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: just get the OG one and that'll you know, bide
Speaker 1: my time or whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's I think that we're getting some
Speaker 4: price adjustments price corrections here right now, as this seven
Speaker 4: hundred dollars does feel too expensive, and I think maybe
Speaker 4: it's like even shocked people a little bit and to
Speaker 4: being like, wait, what am I spending my money on?
Speaker 4: And I think maybe the solution there is is maybe
Speaker 4: at least through this holidays a price cut and we'll
Speaker 4: talk about that in the news, and that could I think,
Speaker 4: sway many more people over to the base model.
Speaker 3: Okay, I did a very unscientific pull in our chat,
Speaker 3: Hey who got a PSI Pro? And I knew it
Speaker 3: wouldn't be many. It's fifty said no and zero said yes.
Speaker 3: I thought that'd be one person and a very you know,
Speaker 3: hardcore gaming crowd who had picked up a PlayStation five
Speaker 3: pro jens.
Speaker 2: That's bananas.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's I know, like one or two
Speaker 5: people that I could see like that fit those criteria
Speaker 5: like obsessed with resolution and have money to blow and
Speaker 5: It's like outside of those couple of people, I can't
Speaker 5: imagine anyone I know rushed out to spend seven hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean the most intense PlayStation fans are the ones
Speaker 4: that the raiment with this thing, and that's who's maybe
Speaker 4: going to get it.
Speaker 1: Saw a front of the site, just go down to
Speaker 1: a target and was able to pick one up. So
Speaker 1: they are they are not hard to acquire if you
Speaker 1: need to.
Speaker 2: Or one story about that as well in the news.
Speaker 1: Okay, Doki, all right, uh gentlemen, Uh does Call of
Speaker 1: Duty Black Ops six? Does does that make you want
Speaker 1: desire pro performance? Or how is your pro gameplay going?
Speaker 2: That game runs on everything runs really well on everything.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, oh you guys have there's like a I've
Speaker 5: been playing a lot of multiplayer and it's cool because
Speaker 5: like this year there's like a ret like you know,
Speaker 5: like MLB the show does like a retro mode or
Speaker 5: you can play the controls and stuff are like Ken
Speaker 5: Griffy on Superintendent totally.
Speaker 2: They have the new Call of Duty on PC.
Speaker 5: It's got like a retro you can play it with
Speaker 5: a keyboard and a mouse and uh so for the
Speaker 5: first time I'm.
Speaker 2: Playing with Call of Duty with a keyboard and a mouse.
Speaker 5: It's crazy, like I missed that whole era back then,
Speaker 5: and it's actually, I know, it's like a novelty. It's
Speaker 5: like a niche like retro thing, but like I feel
Speaker 5: like I can aim better with the mouse.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what no way? Yeah, yeah, it's like
Speaker 2: kind of nice.
Speaker 5: Actually you kind of get used to it and it's
Speaker 5: like there's just a bunch of letters or how you
Speaker 5: move around. It's it's weird. It's like back they used
Speaker 5: to do that on like Apple Two's or something. I
Speaker 5: don't know, I didn't.
Speaker 4: It's weird cause Call of Duty is like the One
Speaker 4: Shooter franchise where it's like, yeah, you don't need a
Speaker 4: mouse and keyboard, although of course it's still yeah, you
Speaker 4: get more control with it, but holy shit, Dan.
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, I just I always was a console guy.
Speaker 2: I always played Call of Duty on console and uh
Speaker 2: yeah I will shoot heever.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, it's also great because it's like with the Activision
Speaker 5: account thing, It's like I can just sit here and
Speaker 5: play like I stream some last night on PC and
Speaker 5: I can go play on the big screen on the
Speaker 5: PS five and it's like everything just links together any
Speaker 5: like purchases, any unlocks, like all your save loadouts.
Speaker 2: It's just seamless. It works, so you cannot.
Speaker 4: Actually, I think you could still plug in a mouse
Speaker 4: and a keyboard to an Xbox and it'll just work.
Speaker 4: It'll just catch on fire. Right, Doing that feel perverted?
Speaker 4: It does feel wrong.
Speaker 2: Can you play like keyboard and mouse on an Xbox?
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 4: For a lot of games at least you know they
Speaker 4: did that a couple of years ago, and support broke.
Speaker 3: You can use keyboard and mouse on Dreamcast to play
Speaker 3: Quake three Arena.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I got my keyboard controller for GameCube for all my
Speaker 5: Fantasy Star Online.
Speaker 2: I want one of those, so bad I want. It's
Speaker 2: so stupid.
Speaker 5: I love that you can just play Mario Sunshine with
Speaker 5: a keyboard controller.
Speaker 2: It's so stupid.
Speaker 4: It's the I think it's the first thing I picked
Speaker 4: up when I went in dance basement.
Speaker 2: Controller.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, so there it is, thought me at it
Speaker 4: a very silly thing. Call of duty, though, is one
Speaker 4: where it's like I get tired at night. I'm an
Speaker 4: old man with kids, and I'm exhausted, and we'll get
Speaker 4: done doing. Yeah, we've got old bones and we'll get
Speaker 4: done doing like a game mess podcast or whatever, which
Speaker 4: you know ends around ten thirty eleven thirty in that range,
Speaker 4: and a lot of times I guess we'll like play games.
Speaker 4: I'm like, sometimes I'll hop in, but like the last
Speaker 4: couple weeks, so hey, let's play Call of Duty. I'm like, yes,
Speaker 4: let's play Call of Duty. I boot it up and
Speaker 4: we go longer than we intend. We play one more round,
Speaker 4: one more round, and joined us. I'm like, okay, we'll
Speaker 4: play a couple more round stands here. It's uh, it's
Speaker 4: it's that game again. And I think that is if
Speaker 4: someone's trying to figure out, hey, is this a good
Speaker 4: Call of Duty? If someone could tell you that anecdote
Speaker 4: of I started playing even when I was like not
Speaker 4: super in the mood, and then I just kept playing
Speaker 4: because we're having fun. That's what you want to hear
Speaker 4: from Call Duty. So this is one of the good ones.
Speaker 5: Well, especially when it's like, I don't know where you
Speaker 5: all are with this, but like you know, I used
Speaker 5: to like love Call of Duty from like two up
Speaker 5: until maybe like Advance Warfare is when I kind of
Speaker 5: started falling off and not playing every campaign and not
Speaker 5: playing any multiplayer for a lot of them.
Speaker 2: So I kind of fell off for a little bit.
Speaker 5: The Modern Warfare reboot got me back in in like
Speaker 5: twenty nineteen, but then I went like five years without
Speaker 5: even really messing around with much multiplayer, and now I'm
Speaker 5: all the way back in. It's reminding me of how
Speaker 5: I just that one more round type stuff. Even it
Speaker 5: reminds me of like the Call of Duty four, feeling
Speaker 5: of like really messing around with loadouts and all these
Speaker 5: challenges and everything. And it's not drastically different, Like there
Speaker 5: are the things like the omni movements and all that
Speaker 5: stuff that feel really good and new, but.
Speaker 2: It does just feel like classic ass Call of Duty.
Speaker 5: I'm playing Domination and Kill Confirmed and all this stuff,
Speaker 5: and damn the maps are good as hell.
Speaker 2: Everything feels great. It's a blockbuster map rules. I like
Speaker 2: that one's great.
Speaker 5: The one with the hangars that you can open and
Speaker 5: close with the stealth bombers in there.
Speaker 2: That's fun.
Speaker 5: It's just, uh, yeah, I'm back. I'm back on Call
Speaker 5: of Duty.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 1: We should place them on the website.
Speaker 5: Yathie's is the only thing I haven't tried. I would
Speaker 5: love to try. Zombie still let's do that.
Speaker 4: And then I do think I'm going to try to
Speaker 4: find time this week to maybe play through a good
Speaker 4: chunk that campaign on the websit.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, have you all checked out the
Speaker 1: campaign at all?
Speaker 2: Is the first thing I did.
Speaker 5: I always do campaigns first, and this is like absolutely
Speaker 5: one of my favorite Call of Duty campaigns. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 5: could be definitely top three. I would say, tons and
Speaker 5: tons of variety. Just just a really really fun thing,
Speaker 5: a good like base thing to go back to between
Speaker 5: missions and the open world stuff they do is really interesting.
Speaker 2: It's fantastic, lovely, lovely.
Speaker 1: Similar, similarly related game that I just lose a lot
Speaker 1: of time to is web fishing.
Speaker 2: Everyone's talking about web fishing. I have no idea what
Speaker 2: it is. A chat room where you fish.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is a chat room where you fish, except
Speaker 1: I play this by myself. Helly, make like a.
Speaker 2: Little Sigma codd jam. Yeah that's right.
Speaker 1: I just listened to an audiobook or put on a
Speaker 1: podcast and just disassociate and go fishing. It is pretty
Speaker 1: much exactly that you make a little animal crossing like character.
Speaker 1: The art style is very similar to maybe like an
Speaker 1: early PS one and sixty fourish polygonal animal jazz, and
Speaker 1: you just go fishing. That's it. That's all it is.
Speaker 1: And it's like the animal crossing fish style of fishing.
Speaker 1: You hit a you gotta reel it in so you'll
Speaker 1: hold the a bun and then sometimes you gotta mash
Speaker 1: on the a bun because the fish is a little tough.
Speaker 2: And not much more of fishing and video games. We
Speaker 2: didn't mount rushimore fish. I like started Valleys, yep. I
Speaker 2: like Links Awakening. Oh bad.
Speaker 5: Even a bad game can have a good fishing many
Speaker 5: game Oh Jesus Christ Frontiers.
Speaker 1: But it's a very chill time and I think we
Speaker 1: should all play together as well.
Speaker 2: I tried it.
Speaker 5: I would love that I didn't get me had so
Speaker 5: everybody I played with had like fun hats and shirts
Speaker 5: and stuff, and I was just like a little cat.
Speaker 5: But I didn't play long enough to get my call.
Speaker 1: You just start as a little cat, and then as
Speaker 1: you you unlock or you catch more fish, you unlock
Speaker 1: more options to get more fun cosmetics. I'm a big
Speaker 1: fan of this style of game and that style of
Speaker 1: game being just like turn your brain off and just
Speaker 1: hang out with friends. So you know, I think we
Speaker 1: should definitely maybe perhaps have an outdoor activity week like
Speaker 1: grub you you represented to the gang, Yeah, like they
Speaker 1: had the.
Speaker 4: Outdoor cable channel that always has like the other sports,
Speaker 4: like we should do a week dedicated back.
Speaker 5: I get Bill Instagram message Bill Dance to see if
Speaker 5: he wants to be on the dump truck exactly does he.
Speaker 2: Have a link dan?
Speaker 1: Does he have a link tree on his Instagram.
Speaker 5: Paget and his messages were open.
Speaker 2: But I've not heard back from Bill Dance, so I
Speaker 2: hope he's doing all right.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well maybe Bill has his like notifications turned off.
Speaker 1: That could be.
Speaker 2: No, he's super online. He's complaining constant.
Speaker 1: It's mostly blue sky these days.
Speaker 2: Buildings.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. Bill Dance is just skeied
Speaker 1: in away. Oh yeah. Another quick small game that I
Speaker 1: checked out is Duck Paradox. It's a oh I played
Speaker 1: this A yeah. It's it's like a Warrior Land Pizza
Speaker 1: Tower sque game where you are trying to acquire a
Speaker 1: duck at the end of the level. It's a quick
Speaker 1: small platformer and then like in that Warrior is it
Speaker 1: Warrio three where you run back to the entrance or
Speaker 1: is it Warrial four.
Speaker 3: Before three is more of the puzzle platform ers three
Speaker 3: Warrio four where you get to point A, you get
Speaker 3: to point B, and then you run all the way
Speaker 3: back to point A.
Speaker 1: But in this instance you got to grab a duck.
Speaker 1: You got a platform all the way to go get
Speaker 1: a duck, and then platform all the way back to
Speaker 1: return that said duck and then defend the point A
Speaker 1: from a bunch of enemy ducks. It's okay in terms
Speaker 1: of like the flow of it. The platforming does feel
Speaker 1: good though, a lot of good nice tight air control.
Speaker 3: What I remember from playing it is that like when
Speaker 3: you shoot your gun, it bounces off the walls. You
Speaker 3: can have like three sixty shooting and it'll bounce off
Speaker 3: the wall until it hits something, whether it's an enemy
Speaker 3: or you. So you're kind of careful about that stuff.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Yeah, you don't want to be blasting off because
Speaker 1: you can just hit yourself. And yeah, like I said,
Speaker 1: the platforming feels really good. The flow of it isn't
Speaker 1: necessarily my jam because I really liked the Warrior series
Speaker 1: prior to four, because I didn't like having that anxiety
Speaker 1: and douce stuff. Like I gotta get back to the
Speaker 1: entrance and go as fast as I can, a really
Speaker 1: neat little indie platformer.
Speaker 4: It's interesting that that's become like kind of the legacy
Speaker 4: of the Warrior games, because now, at least it seems
Speaker 4: like among developers, because we have this Anton Blast Pizza Tower,
Speaker 4: this is like becoming a genre now.
Speaker 2: And I really liked Pizza Tower, and.
Speaker 4: So far I've liked what I've played a Banton Blast,
Speaker 4: but I haven't had a lot of time. I think
Speaker 4: we played that at packs or a mike and then
Speaker 4: I've not seen this one. But I mean, I think
Speaker 4: I do like this, but I'm with you Jam where
Speaker 4: it's like I like those Warrior Land games before that
Speaker 4: as well. I wonder if there's gonna be sort of
Speaker 4: a turn back to that at any point.
Speaker 5: I feel like I've fake Warrior fans sometimes whenever I
Speaker 5: think about Warrior Land, because I never really played that series.
Speaker 2: Warrior where that was a game Boy band. We know
Speaker 2: you like game Boy Vance, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I never really I played more Warrior World
Speaker 5: on the game Cube than I've played all the Warrior.
Speaker 2: Land games coming.
Speaker 1: I never checked that out.
Speaker 2: It's a weird game.
Speaker 5: It's all right, say I played the amount of that
Speaker 5: that was a console game.
Speaker 2: I'm a Warrior World defender. I don't I think it's
Speaker 2: oddly underappreciated.
Speaker 1: I'll say I'm with you, Mike. I liked the first
Speaker 1: one where you gave Warrior a bunch of fun little hats.
Speaker 3: No no world, World, not Land. Oh oh okay, I
Speaker 3: think it's plenty of love. Hell with it, no World.
Speaker 3: I'm over here waving the banner for Warrior World, made
Speaker 3: by Treasure for the Nintendo GameCube.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: I as a fan of garlic growing up. I never
Speaker 1: understood the problem.
Speaker 2: Great kidding me? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why were we shaming Warrior for his love of garlic?
Speaker 2: Bad for your breath a bit? But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I carried gum with you most food, but your breas
Speaker 3: gonna smell like whatever you eat and usually at that game.
Speaker 2: That right, Yeah, get out of my face.
Speaker 1: Stop being a close talker. You know, Uh, Garlic's good.
Speaker 1: Garlic is good, and you know what else is good?
Speaker 1: Fucking Kingdom Hearts too is good?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why is this on the list, Mike?
Speaker 2: I'm playing well this episode? So uh?
Speaker 3: I do a yearly Kingdom Hearts Marathon stream for our
Speaker 3: Extra Life team in December last year.
Speaker 2: I did accept that money.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, they're very the kids. Look, I get why
Speaker 9: people don't like them hearts. It's a fascinating to me
Speaker 9: how people love to hate King Markets.
Speaker 5: And I was like, specifically stupid, even like by like
Speaker 5: super especially stupid.
Speaker 3: Love stupid, you love stupid. If it took place in
Speaker 3: Alaska and had a guy who likes surf clear weapon,
Speaker 3: you think it was cool and.
Speaker 2: It was mostly about New Alaska, fucking.
Speaker 5: Donald Duck was chasing snake around, I would think that's
Speaker 5: too much.
Speaker 2: That's so much the great.
Speaker 3: That's part of why I love keenum Wites too, because
Speaker 3: it's like, here's Tron from the Tron and he says
Speaker 3: the words Donald Duck and I'm like, god that this
Speaker 3: is all the dopamine right there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so I'm trying.
Speaker 3: I'm finishing up the same mode I started last December
Speaker 3: so that I could be ready for next month when
Speaker 3: I'm gonna Marathon Keendom Heart's Birth by Sleep.
Speaker 2: The ps P one Keinch is actually one of my
Speaker 2: favorite games ever, and it still is.
Speaker 3: I think it's just super wacky and fun and neat.
Speaker 3: The combat mckicks are very good. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: juggling and air stuff involved. It's the right balance between
Speaker 3: having some flashy fun stuff like the dry forms and
Speaker 3: the limit breaks three goes too far. It's like every
Speaker 3: two seconds like summon Big thunder Mountain.
Speaker 2: You did that.
Speaker 3: Now you have a big yo yo and McDonald duck
Speaker 3: do a flip and it's like, hey, can I just
Speaker 3: hit things with my key blade for a second? Actually no, Yeah,
Speaker 3: Kandamarts two had the right balance it is. I haven't
Speaker 3: actually played the final mixed version that much. There's so
Speaker 3: many extra boss fights and stuff that I'm digging through,
Speaker 3: which is fine. Orn from Nancy ten is hanging out
Speaker 3: in the Hercules world and he can be in your party.
Speaker 2: It's great. Yeah, Canamartz two all time banger?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 2: Fuck you guys. I like that.
Speaker 1: You like it?
Speaker 2: I know, not gonna say you're wrong for liking.
Speaker 5: I just think if you made something in a lab
Speaker 5: that would be specifically revolting to me. I think it's
Speaker 5: a Disney and j RPG crossover with a lot of cuts.
Speaker 1: Now now, Dan here, I know people will always try
Speaker 1: and take the metal gear route to assay you to
Speaker 1: the Kingdom heart side, right.
Speaker 2: Like philosophy of course, of course it's an anime.
Speaker 1: Now what if, instead, right, you had like a Devil
Speaker 1: Make Cry style game, but your party consisted of Mario
Speaker 1: and Luigi.
Speaker 2: That sounds awesome. That sounds fucking great. I would love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was into like when there was the rumors
Speaker 5: of like the Mario Kingdom Hearts or a Dynasty Warriors game.
Speaker 5: You know that sounds great. That's a print money Okay,
Speaker 5: that's big irrelevant pop culture characters.
Speaker 1: Yes, now that.
Speaker 2: Dan.
Speaker 1: That excitement you felt for that supposed game is what
Speaker 1: Kingdom Hearts is to people like Mike and I.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's stupid.
Speaker 3: It's just all it is is you don't have an
Speaker 3: affinity for Disney, so you don't feel anything not.
Speaker 4: Play Kingdom Hearts two. I played Kingdom Hearts one, and
Speaker 4: I disliked it most of the time.
Speaker 5: I went in college because it's like, all right, some
Speaker 5: people seem to really like this game. And even though
Speaker 5: I don't give a shit about Final Fantasy or Disney,
Speaker 5: I like a good game. And I played it, and
Speaker 5: there was something about just the amount of cut scenes
Speaker 5: and then the actual like running around and jummy like
Speaker 5: the actual game part of it did not feel great.
Speaker 5: Granted I played it for like a metaphor length of time,
Speaker 5: but you know, it didn't feel right to Like.
Speaker 3: You can get over the cutting thing if it's about
Speaker 3: something you're invested in or care about. Obviously metal, because
Speaker 3: you defend metal, your solid four, because that's grounded in reality. Yeah,
Speaker 3: nano machines machines instead of hearts, then it's fine and
Speaker 3: not real hearts, I mean like Kingdom herts hearts, which
Speaker 3: are like souls that Dan doesn't believe in.
Speaker 5: But we're adults. We need to be about like nukes
Speaker 5: and stuff and not like heart moons.
Speaker 3: Right, I feel much better about like, Yeah, as long
Speaker 3: as I'm reading or thinking about nukes.
Speaker 1: Well, Dan, no matter what your views and opinions are
Speaker 1: of Kingdom Hearts, I would still share a pow pow
Speaker 1: fruit with you.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Yeah, and I would. I would appreciate that
Speaker 2: I would have it as well. Yeah. I gotta rest
Speaker 2: next week. Yeah that's right. You gotta repent for your sin. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just gonna be blasted by Kingdom Hearts.
Speaker 2: Yeah I should not. Really, I'll play some Kingdom Hearts
Speaker 2: with the case before we go. There's not that much
Speaker 2: keenohart stuff in the park, She'll be fine.
Speaker 1: Well, there's the one Halloween stand during the Oogie Boogie Bash.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it confused Jeff greatly remember Oh yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: you were very upset about.
Speaker 4: It, just because I was like, so why and then
Speaker 4: you guys didn't have a good explanation.
Speaker 2: But we can move past that.
Speaker 1: So, Grub, I got a question for you as as
Speaker 1: as uh, you know, the Gimmicks are growing up and
Speaker 1: and you know they're they're getting into games, they're getting
Speaker 1: out of games. Dan, you could apply this with Steve
Speaker 1: as well. I don't want to leave you out, are you.
Speaker 1: I know that you have the fear, Grub, of not
Speaker 1: wanting to introduce inverted control camera controls to the Gimmicks.
Speaker 4: No, I mean it's not look I have. It's not
Speaker 4: a fear. It is a I don't want to be
Speaker 4: the dad that made their kids weird.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: But because you have access to video more video games
Speaker 1: than like a normal father, right, what if you see
Speaker 1: them slowly start getting into and curious about Kingdom Hearts.
Speaker 4: I do want to see if they would like Kingdom Hearts,
Speaker 4: because I think they might, but I'm not going to
Speaker 4: have them played Kingdom Hearts one.
Speaker 2: I can't have that at my house, but maybe maybe
Speaker 2: too bad.
Speaker 4: I think I asked Mike this, It's like, hey, if
Speaker 4: I was going to do that, what's and He's like,
Speaker 4: just go with three, So I'll I'll put three. I
Speaker 4: think I have that on Xbox already. I wouldn't hate it. It
Speaker 4: wouldn't be the worst thing, because again, my problem was
Speaker 4: just I wanted to like the game. I played the
Speaker 4: first one and there was just so much bullshit throughout
Speaker 4: it that I was like, this is I think this
Speaker 4: is a bad game, and everyone seems to like Kingdom
Speaker 4: Hearts too better. I did start that and it was
Speaker 4: like so slow at the beginning that I just died
Speaker 4: and could.
Speaker 2: Not play any more of it.
Speaker 4: But hey, if they're playing it, that's not a problem
Speaker 4: for me.
Speaker 5: I think if I had kids and they played Kingdom Hearts,
Speaker 5: I would drop them off at the local fire station.
Speaker 2: Sure can you do that at any age? I don't
Speaker 2: see the rules.
Speaker 3: Say you've had this conversation before, Dan thought that you
Speaker 3: could just like you can send a fifteen year old there.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know where it cuts off, but it
Speaker 2: is a good out. I don't know if it's good,
Speaker 2: What does that mean? What do you think you're saying?
Speaker 5: Everyone's like, oh God, I'm stuck for eighting. Here's raising
Speaker 5: and paying for this kid. It's like, no, just taking
Speaker 5: the fire station. Everyone get fire stations around God. This
Speaker 5: is the guy who raised over forty five thousand.
Speaker 8: We did, right, yeah, right card when it's listed as
Speaker 8: number six and the Leader boys, it's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, congrats again gents for the for the kids.
Speaker 1: The eighteen hour video is now it's been out on YouTube,
Speaker 1: so I suggest you check that out. Shouts out to Sean.
Speaker 1: Hello Sean speaking about Sean and things that Mike Manatti
Speaker 1: and I are united with. It is playing Pokemon TCG pocket.
Speaker 2: I gotta opens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've I see what God is giving other
Speaker 1: people and giving them God packs five full art cards,
Speaker 1: and I pray for the same thing because because your
Speaker 1: boys just getting fucking just basic oddishes. I don't even
Speaker 1: have a regular bulbles sore yet, y'all.
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, I.
Speaker 1: Got I got four cube bones and none of them
Speaker 1: are look to the cute full art ones.
Speaker 2: You're gonna hate me.
Speaker 3: So I literally was like, gosh, I want that full
Speaker 3: art cubane which one is it? And you see it,
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I just I want that one, and
Speaker 3: I open up pack and it was immediately.
Speaker 2: That cubebe with the full art. I'm like, that's nice.
Speaker 1: I am lacking so many trainer cards. But I brought
Speaker 1: this to the table today because I have a legitimate
Speaker 1: gripe with a game and it is currently there is
Speaker 1: an event where you're supposed to battle other players and
Speaker 1: here's the problem. All the other deck it's And I
Speaker 1: understand that this is because there are only a limited
Speaker 1: amount of cards available in the game as of right now,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna run into the same deck archetype over
Speaker 1: and over and over again. But I constantly am fucking
Speaker 1: running in to people with the MW two ex deck
Speaker 1: or they're running a misty Water deck and able to
Speaker 1: like get me out in one turn because they're able
Speaker 1: to put the all the energy on their card and attack.
Speaker 2: On the first turn. You're not supposed to be able
Speaker 2: to do that.
Speaker 1: But either way, I'm still having a good time. The
Speaker 1: thing is, though, after playing so much Marvel Snap, I'm
Speaker 1: so used to the h the matches being very quick
Speaker 1: and easy, very snappy. Here seeing the time limit being
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. It's kind of intimidating and I just don't
Speaker 1: want to sit there enough. And a lot of people
Speaker 1: that I've gone up against have not learned that. Yo,
Speaker 1: you're definitely going to lose this game. Just concede. Please
Speaker 1: save us all some time.
Speaker 4: Now, jan For the collection aspect, I have an idea.
Speaker 4: What about a Friday upf where it's, uh, you open
Speaker 4: a hundred packs and then you can expense it.
Speaker 1: Well you know that? No again, no, no, no, Hey,
Speaker 1: you know that seems like a great idea.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people would watch that.
Speaker 4: I think that'd be a good, good use of company
Speaker 4: funds personally.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and we got plenty of those around, so
Speaker 1: maybe you maybe you do that on Mikey?
Speaker 2: How you?
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about the pokemons?
Speaker 3: I actually got a lot of the cars that I want,
Speaker 3: But luck it's been pretty good. I haven't spent any money,
Speaker 3: and I've got the gold but two. I got two
Speaker 3: of the gold Mew two ex's, I got the animated Charizar,
Speaker 3: the animated Pikachu, a bunch of other great things. So yeah,
Speaker 3: like I'm good. I don't I don't need to spend
Speaker 3: any money. Uh, Pokemon gods like me.
Speaker 2: Rarely has he ever sound cooler.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been winning a lot of my U those
Speaker 3: those online games. Uh, I just leave it up to
Speaker 3: rn G gods because I have a Meriwak deck and
Speaker 3: he just flips coins to see if he kills people,
Speaker 3: and then you know, you flip them and it's a
Speaker 3: fifty cent chance. But it's usually heads because God likes Mikey,
Speaker 3: and then I win because I believe in souls.
Speaker 2: God likes Mikey needs to be her new thing.
Speaker 5: That's a good yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's your smell. What
Speaker 5: the rock is cooking? That's how you end your promos.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: God's in everyone's corner, but he leans a little bit
Speaker 3: on my side. That's from the musical seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 3: It's a quote, oh kind of. It's so yeah. I
Speaker 3: like the Pokemon game. I finished all the I hope
Speaker 3: there's more MPC fights because I do prefer fighting against
Speaker 3: the computer.
Speaker 2: It is a bit more chill.
Speaker 3: It's almost more like a puzzle, right because you know
Speaker 3: what kind of deck they're gonna have, so you make
Speaker 3: a deck to counter that.
Speaker 2: You go for it. Fighting against the people. It's fine.
Speaker 3: Pokemon cards is always weird because there are the weaknesses, right,
Speaker 3: Like you know, fighting is strong against the normal or
Speaker 3: dark strong against psych kick and especially when you only
Speaker 3: have twenty cards in your deck so you're not gonna
Speaker 3: have multiple types. It's like, well, I have a water
Speaker 3: deck and I just went up against somebody with electricity.
Speaker 3: Guess I'll lose. It's not a death sentence per se,
Speaker 3: or does kind of feel bad like, well, I guess
Speaker 3: I just aim immediately at a disadvantage.
Speaker 2: That kind of sucks, is it.
Speaker 4: Do you think a calendar year from now will you
Speaker 4: still be playing the trading card game pocket That.
Speaker 3: Calendar year is a lot, you know, I imagine might
Speaker 3: start taking breaks till expansions come out, right, because I
Speaker 3: guess I actually am going to play like I got
Speaker 3: pretty much most of the cards that I want from
Speaker 3: this set.
Speaker 2: Hey here's Jannel.
Speaker 1: Oh god, all right, I M man, I'm gonna use
Speaker 1: some company funds to replace this fucking go ucks a.
Speaker 2: Lot you should do with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been playing Keepers Toll. We were talking a
Speaker 1: little bit earlier how some indie games have adopted that
Speaker 1: OREO four format, and I think it was I thought
Speaker 1: it was only a matter of time until we start
Speaker 1: seeing more games replicate Vampire Survivors. Keeper's Toll is a
Speaker 1: fun Vampire Survivors like. It's a slightly more active in
Speaker 1: terms of like there are button commands where you can
Speaker 1: input directional buttons to do a combo and it'll do
Speaker 1: it'll warp you somewhere else in the map. And you
Speaker 1: start with five or six different characters, and it is
Speaker 1: that same format where you are auto attacking, but you
Speaker 1: are gaining levels a little bit more quicker, and then
Speaker 1: those different abilities will play off similar to Vampire Survivors
Speaker 1: in how you format your character, except here you'll there'll
Speaker 1: be like world events popping off in the map of like,
Speaker 1: oh hey, a shopkeeper dropped in, you should go visit
Speaker 1: the shopkeeper. The thing that I have enjoyed so far
Speaker 1: about this game is that there's also a dash that
Speaker 1: you can do, so you can kind of get out
Speaker 1: of a sticky situation a little bit easier. And there's
Speaker 1: also estes Flask equivalence where ah, man, my house is
Speaker 1: kind of low, got heel up a bit, and there's
Speaker 1: that management there. The other world events that pop up
Speaker 1: are stuff like Big Boss battles that come up, or like,
Speaker 1: here's a random alter, do you want to just sacrifice
Speaker 1: half of your health and see what happens? And sometimes
Speaker 1: it'll be a detriment. Sometimes it'll just wind up upgrading
Speaker 1: one of your abilities instead. I'm interested to see where
Speaker 1: this goes. I've only checked out one character, and he
Speaker 1: was very melee focused, so a lot of his abilities
Speaker 1: were only just attacking people fairly close up. It was
Speaker 1: interesting because some of his abilities were like, all right,
Speaker 1: this is like a down sweep, and I was trying
Speaker 1: to figure out, is my character actually gonna like do
Speaker 1: a sweep and no, he just shoots a shadow down
Speaker 1: because that is a leg sweep, and then his uppercut
Speaker 1: would just shoot up instead of to the side. It's interesting.
Speaker 1: It did make me think of how much I missed
Speaker 1: Vampire Survivors. And I'm curious about that Castlevania DLC that
Speaker 1: seems beefy.
Speaker 2: I started that. It does seem quite beefy.
Speaker 5: I only did, like, I think, one run with it,
Speaker 5: but like just seeing the map and be like, oh,
Speaker 5: that's just a straight up Castlevania map.
Speaker 2: Seems like there's a lot in there. Yeah, there is.
Speaker 1: And last but not least for this week in terms
Speaker 1: of games, I've yet to check this out. By very
Speaker 1: very curious.
Speaker 2: Rise of the Golden Idol. Yes, I am.
Speaker 5: I believe one or two cases away from being done
Speaker 5: with this, Greb.
Speaker 1: Howp are you?
Speaker 4: I'm into chapter two?
Speaker 2: I just started it.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm deep into chapter five, which appears to be
Speaker 5: near the end there. So yeah, overall, I love this
Speaker 5: and I think there are things that I definitely prefer
Speaker 5: this one over the original. There are some things that
Speaker 5: have I haven't loved as much, but I'll get into that.
Speaker 5: But overall, the art style is incredible. The setting like
Speaker 5: just the more like modern like late seventies, Like I
Speaker 5: love this setting a lot more than the you know,
Speaker 5: satral times of the other one. It also does some
Speaker 5: really smart things where it's like chapters. So there will
Speaker 5: be chapter two will have you know, three or four cases,
Speaker 5: and so you'll solve them all individually, like in a bottle,
Speaker 5: and then at the end, before we move on to
Speaker 5: chapter three, there will be like an overarching like okay,
Speaker 5: well what in this whole set of levels? Put together
Speaker 5: the story and fill in these blanks? And it has
Speaker 5: the fill in the blank ones, but it also has
Speaker 5: like some side things where it's like, Okay, there was
Speaker 5: this casting call for this commercial. You need to figure
Speaker 5: out who from you know, these nine names got cast
Speaker 5: in this commercial because they're only four, or you got
Speaker 5: to figure out what all these buttons do on this device.
Speaker 5: So things that aren't just like fill in the sequence
Speaker 5: of events. So it does kind of shift it up
Speaker 5: in some ways that I really like. The individual cases
Speaker 5: are awesome. There are a lot we're just like, oh,
Speaker 5: you got to that one, Oh do the auction one,
Speaker 5: the like you know, you'll know immediately if you say, oh,
Speaker 5: you do the drive in theater one, and very very
Speaker 5: memorable cases like that. The thing that has frustrated me,
Speaker 5: and I don't want to say it's a minor complaint
Speaker 5: because it is one that's come up several times for me,
Speaker 5: is that a lot of these solutions are just a
Speaker 5: big thing of blanks. So it's like blank, blank, did blank,
Speaker 5: and blank which blank the blank and blank to blanc
Speaker 5: And so there's a lot of things to fill in,
Speaker 5: and I can fill in things that are all accurate,
Speaker 5: like I can take in the story, I can see
Speaker 5: everything happening in the scene, this mystery, this murder or
Speaker 5: whatever it is and put in accurate information, but it
Speaker 5: won't count because it's not the specific thing the game
Speaker 5: was looking for. Does that make sense the phoenix right problem?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I come across this in similar other kind of mystery
Speaker 3: or puzzle adventure games, and it is frustrating, Like, you
Speaker 3: know what happened, you just have to figure out how
Speaker 3: you the game wants you to communicate it properly.
Speaker 4: Ex Like can you give do you have an example
Speaker 4: or like? Cause like I usually I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 4: feel like I could put this name here or there
Speaker 4: and it would know that what I meant.
Speaker 5: If it's like this, If it's a one sentence where
Speaker 5: it says blank and blank went to the thing, you
Speaker 5: can swap A and B and it'll know. But like,
Speaker 5: it's especially as it gets into the more complex ones,
Speaker 5: where it's like.
Speaker 2: Here's three paragraphs.
Speaker 5: And I can fill in stuff that is all accurate,
Speaker 5: but because it was looking for something, it's like, oh, well,
Speaker 5: how was I supposed to know that that's what it
Speaker 5: was saying? Because it's just mostly blanks. I think you'll
Speaker 5: see it more in some of the later ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: Because the first couple chapters I remember just kind of
Speaker 5: putting it all together and everything, and then as it
Speaker 5: gets later on, there's so many blanks. It'll get to
Speaker 5: the point where it's like, all right, I don't know
Speaker 5: what this once and it says two or few are incorrect,
Speaker 5: So I'm just kind of swapping out random names and
Speaker 5: stuff until it tells me I'm getting to a better spot.
Speaker 5: So I don't know a little specific with what it
Speaker 5: wants sometimes, but especially once, like when they sent it out,
Speaker 5: they sent out like the solutions and stuff, so like
Speaker 5: there have been a couple of times I've had to
Speaker 5: just like go to that and I'll see it. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: that that's what it was going for, where like I
Speaker 5: knew all that information. I just that's what Okay, you'll
Speaker 5: know it when you.
Speaker 2: Get to it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like it was like chapter three, chapter
Speaker 5: four when I started running into that. But overall, I
Speaker 5: think most of them you can just solve by deducing
Speaker 5: all the clues put in front of you. It does
Speaker 5: get very difficult though, It gets very very difficult, but
Speaker 5: it also is incredibly satisfying when you when you put
Speaker 5: the things together.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's yeah, I think that's where it's at for me,
Speaker 4: like like Dan said, I just love looking at this game,
Speaker 4: just taking in the scenes, seeing all the weird people
Speaker 4: moving around in weird ways. Their portraits are so odd
Speaker 4: and fascinating. It feels it's just a strong, strong style.
Speaker 4: And then like enjoying looking at the images is helpful
Speaker 4: because all the information is there in front of you.
Speaker 4: It's all like the solution is like that little splotch
Speaker 4: of green like that stands out. It matters like that,
Speaker 4: and that's going to make a difference in what happened
Speaker 4: in the story and help you solve this thing. So
Speaker 4: pay attention to everything. And I love games like this
Speaker 4: where I can just where it's just set there, and
Speaker 4: then the rest of the gameplay takes place in my
Speaker 4: head as I figure these things out. And they they
Speaker 4: crushed it with a case of the Golden Idol and
Speaker 4: it's like, oh, okay, they really do have that magic
Speaker 4: touch where it's like every single one of these I've
Speaker 4: continued to feel very excited when I stumble across something.
Speaker 4: There's times where it's like I will be stunned at
Speaker 4: something I'm realizing and it's like, oh my god, the
Speaker 4: implications of this for the overarching story. What does this mean?
Speaker 4: I wasn't even thinking that this was possible. I was
Speaker 4: didn't occur to me. And it's like, oh, that's why
Speaker 4: they covered up that person's body part for whatever reason.
Speaker 4: And now I'm like, okay, that has this means that,
Speaker 4: and now I'm thinking about this whole thing differently, and
Speaker 4: those revelations coming to you as the pay as you
Speaker 4: play the game is the game, and that is woy.
Speaker 4: It's so much fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And there are so many times where it's like
Speaker 5: playing the game amounts to just like staring at things
Speaker 5: you've seen a million times before and just thinking, like
Speaker 5: you're not active clicking just you know. It's one of
Speaker 5: those things where I'm taking pictures of my phone and
Speaker 5: I'm taking two pictures and like I'm opening up like
Speaker 5: different windows on my screenshots app and putting things together
Speaker 5: and drawing on things.
Speaker 2: It's I love that type of shit.
Speaker 5: And I feel like Obraden and Case of the Golden
Speaker 5: Idol both very good, but I think I think the
Speaker 5: studio is getting better each time with putting this together,
Speaker 5: Like it's it's more elegant now, Like I love the
Speaker 5: idea of Obraden, but something about it, like existing in
Speaker 5: this three D space and everything. I think I prefer
Speaker 5: just looking at a couple like dioramas. I'm just like, Okay,
Speaker 5: it's all right here, I'll see what this person has
Speaker 5: and their coat, but like it's it's all right in
Speaker 5: front of you, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But the biggest feeling coming out of Overdend for me
Speaker 4: was this is a new genre.
Speaker 2: I need.
Speaker 4: I need more of this, And now we're here and
Speaker 4: it's like, oh, they're going to make a lot more
Speaker 4: of this. A Wout who you know, works on the game.
Speaker 4: He works on the publishing side of it. It's told
Speaker 4: me on Blue Sky that they have four DLCs planned
Speaker 4: for this game for next year, and it's like, Okay,
Speaker 4: that's That's exactly what I want to hear, because as
Speaker 4: I'm playing, I'm having such a good time. This could
Speaker 4: just be one of those genres where it's like I
Speaker 4: am just every time there's something new here, I'm going
Speaker 4: back and playing more of it. And I could do that,
Speaker 4: I foresee for the rest of my life. It's it's
Speaker 4: that much my shit. So them getting better at it,
Speaker 4: kind of really honing their craft, has been really nice
Speaker 4: to see because it does confirm it. Oh yeah, this
Speaker 4: is something we're going to get a lot more of
Speaker 4: and it's not going to lose its luster.
Speaker 2: In fact, it's it's getting better.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, lone puzzles have been around forever. This
Speaker 5: is just a really cool way of presenting it in
Speaker 5: video right.
Speaker 4: Right, yes, right exactly, but actually, like executing on that
Speaker 4: in a really good video gaming way has been something
Speaker 4: relatively new and I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Yes, exciting. I love it is Rise of the Golden
Speaker 1: Idol or the original Golden Idol game y'all think it
Speaker 1: is on the Mount Rushmore for Wow, this game makes
Speaker 1: me feel smart.
Speaker 5: Ooh first one's that come to mind there? Like the
Speaker 5: Witness at Times is.
Speaker 2: Number one for that. That's that's one where I literally like.
Speaker 4: When I figured out the the music puzzle on the
Speaker 4: ship and then when I solved the gauntlet thing at
Speaker 4: the end, if.
Speaker 2: You did that, you did the gauntlet yeah yeah, wow, okay.
Speaker 4: Yes, and no no looking up anything. I just yeah,
Speaker 4: that was fit with my brain so well. I just
Speaker 4: like stood up and screamed. My neighbor looked over in
Speaker 4: the window at me. It was yeah, it was a
Speaker 4: whole thing.
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, that number one. Actually, I fucking love Outer
Speaker 5: wild Yeah.
Speaker 1: I never checked out the DLC. I gotta I tried it.
Speaker 2: It was I couldn't do it.
Speaker 3: No, have any of you ever really played the Phoenix
Speaker 3: Right games at least?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like them. I'm not, but I intend to.
Speaker 1: Lorelai in the Laser Eyes makes me feel dumb.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I wasn't. That was too much for me.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I need to play that before Game of
Speaker 2: the Year.
Speaker 1: Baba is you makes me feel smart feel dumb?
Speaker 4: That that's exactly made me feel smart until it made
Speaker 4: me feel dumb.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I should go back to it. I should.
Speaker 5: I think Outer Wilds might be the perfect like they
Speaker 5: found that sweet spot of like it was just tricky enough,
Speaker 5: but I feel like, you know, you weren't banging your
Speaker 5: head against something for an hour without finding anything. I
Speaker 5: feel like you were constantly making discoveries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so good. Good would you all? I forgot
Speaker 2: most of it by now. I could probably replay that now.
Speaker 1: Oh that'd be fun. That'd be fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think Lucy had ever checked it out. I'd
Speaker 1: be interested for her to stream that.
Speaker 4: That's one where it's like I want to do a
Speaker 4: fun special stream of like playing that at a campfire
Speaker 4: outside in the summer or something like.
Speaker 2: It's just because it has such good vibes playing a flute,
Speaker 2: yeah exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, just being dressed up as pan out there
Speaker 4: in the woods.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I should get a pan flute next. You should
Speaker 2: be fine to learn that. He very whimsical.
Speaker 1: I'd like to see that, all right, boys, Well, unless
Speaker 1: anyone else has any other little tidbits or little bits
Speaker 1: of games they want to talk about.
Speaker 2: Yeah about I was, oh, go ahead, Jeff.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say real quick, played a little bit
Speaker 4: more Maria and Luigi Brothership and liking it better.
Speaker 2: Oh, after a little bit.
Speaker 5: I want to say, I forgot to say I did
Speaker 5: start that, and uh I got like maybe forty five
Speaker 5: and it's in, and I played and loved all of them.
Speaker 5: There was something so deflating about saying that this one
Speaker 5: was super long, and I had flashbacks to Dream Team
Speaker 5: being so long.
Speaker 4: It's not long and the same way as Dream Team,
Speaker 4: but it is apparently it's very, very long.
Speaker 2: And also I don't love the look of it at all. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it really just kind of looks off old. It's weird.
Speaker 2: But not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's far enough away from what I want it
Speaker 4: to be that it's like, there's something weird about the
Speaker 4: way it looks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like, I like the combat, but it was
Speaker 5: doing that thing that some of those games have done
Speaker 5: where it's like, oh, every time I walk somewhere, some
Speaker 5: asshole is going to start talking to me about something
Speaker 5: and explain everything too much, and it's just like it's
Speaker 5: so exhausting every time it does that, you know, I.
Speaker 3: Like, I knew I should have started brotherships. I could
Speaker 3: talk about it on podcasts, and then I'm like, I'm
Speaker 3: really deep into metaphor and stuff in here is getting
Speaker 3: super good. I really do just want to play that
Speaker 3: instead of Look, even on the best of times of boring,
Speaker 3: Luigi games and Mario RPG's first couple hours are kind
Speaker 3: of boring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really want to do that right now. Not
Speaker 2: really better, it's a little bit better.
Speaker 5: Yes, Okay, it's just like at the time of year
Speaker 5: when you're kind of doing that math, I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 5: I still need to play this, and I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's when that people need to play. Yeah, frankly,
Speaker 4: I think that's where I would settle on it where
Speaker 4: it's like, no, yeah, unless you have a lot more
Speaker 4: time and a lot of love for Mario and Luichi,
Speaker 4: is probably one you can mostly skip. I think that
Speaker 4: I g and review They gave it a five out
Speaker 4: of ten. Well, I think it was a little harsh.
Speaker 4: I generally agree with most of the criticisms in.
Speaker 3: That I can't really see myself just finishing Metaphor and
Speaker 3: going straight to Dragon Quest three, which I'm much more
Speaker 3: excited about.
Speaker 1: I think that is the right. I think that is
Speaker 1: the that is a critical path, and if we're doing
Speaker 1: the critical path of the rest of this podcast, it's
Speaker 1: now time to take a quick bricky break and we'll
Speaker 1: be back with some news.
Speaker 5: I just Tetris Forever. Tetris Forever is live now. I
Speaker 5: just downloaded it.
Speaker 2: That's the breaking news. That's that's the break news.
Speaker 4: As soon as the break started, I actually, you know,
Speaker 4: before the break, when we were still going and I
Speaker 4: was like, this could cause a problem for the show,
Speaker 4: and I don't care, all right, started downloading it, and
Speaker 4: now it's finished.
Speaker 2: We're linked up. Sometimes yeah, sometimes stript and paddle.
Speaker 1: Grubbing. Dan downloaded Tetris. That is the first news story
Speaker 1: of today. What else do you got?
Speaker 4: Area five did a lot of the documentary work for
Speaker 4: Tetris Forever, which is the one up show.
Speaker 2: People, which is a very very important thing to be.
Speaker 4: So yeah, go go get Tetris Forever and consume that content.
Speaker 5: Tetris Battle guy In is on there. You can play
Speaker 5: Tetris Battle guy In.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: The all this stuff has got online, right stuff, so
Speaker 4: we could play these games online? Yeah, all right, well
Speaker 4: we'll take a look at that. All right, let's start here, Mike,
Speaker 4: I need you to rev up your surprisingly deep knowledge
Speaker 4: about Disney and its corporate structure. E A CEO Andrew
Speaker 4: Wilson were totally being considered for top top Disney job. Basically,
Speaker 4: Bob Iger retired, he got Bob Chappick about Chapick to
Speaker 4: replace him, and then it was like Bob Chapick, I
Speaker 4: fucking hate you, I'm back, You're fired, And the pandemic happened,
Speaker 4: A bunch of stuff happened, but Bob Biker came back,
Speaker 4: and now it's like, okay, time to retire again, and
Speaker 4: they're gonna spend the next couple of years figuring out
Speaker 4: who to replace him, and apparently could be Electronic Arts
Speaker 4: current CEO Andrew Wilson.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Uh, it's weird.
Speaker 3: Part of me wonders if he's just a candidate, because
Speaker 3: they need candidates, right, and they need to make it.
Speaker 2: You know, they need to look at people outside the company.
Speaker 4: It needs to be a job search, needs to like
Speaker 4: do diligence and all that stuff to be keep the
Speaker 4: board happy.
Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The big problem with Disney and having a single leader
Speaker 3: for it is that Disney is so big and is
Speaker 3: so many things.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: You need to understand its TV business, it's subscription service,
Speaker 3: it's theme park business, it's merchandising business, it's sports ESPN.
Speaker 2: Right, There's a million things.
Speaker 3: You have to understand. So it's a little weird that
Speaker 3: one of, you know, the kind of smaller aspects of
Speaker 3: the company right now, and they've been putting more effort
Speaker 3: into it video games. I'm not sure why you would
Speaker 3: get somebody where that is their main efforts.
Speaker 2: The one thing that.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm I'm thinking too much about this is if
Speaker 3: Disney did want to make a major acquisition for a
Speaker 3: big company, it seems like a weird time to do
Speaker 3: that right now. But hey, maybe even what it ea
Speaker 3: getting Andrew Wilson as your new CEO. Maybe that helps
Speaker 3: you make inroads there, but it doesn't seem like an
Speaker 3: amazing fit right away unless they know something about Andrew.
Speaker 2: That I don't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I you know, Yeah, it was pretty
Speaker 4: diversified when it comes to a video game company, and
Speaker 4: you know, they do have links to sports and stuff
Speaker 4: like that, and so I think some of those skills
Speaker 4: would transfer. But you're right, it's it's such a different
Speaker 4: thing and and if anyone's one of those like verticals falters,
Speaker 4: that's a problem for the CEO, as we saw with Japik. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know. I wouldn't miss Andrew Wilson. It's not
Speaker 4: like I've been, like, oh, super in love with what
Speaker 4: EA has been since he took over. In fact, they've
Speaker 4: been I think, kind of the model of the risk
Speaker 4: adverse sort of we're just kind of doing the same
Speaker 4: thing over and over. And yeah, we used to make
Speaker 4: Mir's Edge, but we don't do that anymore. In fact,
Speaker 4: we don't do anything like that anymore because of because
Speaker 4: the last Mirror's Edge we did was sort of not
Speaker 4: up to snuff, and now every we have to panic
Speaker 4: anytime we see anything that is potentially a new game
Speaker 4: outside of one of these massive franchises that we know
Speaker 4: could sell twenty million cops.
Speaker 3: What's the last time Andrew Wilson thought about the twelve
Speaker 3: and younger audience, right, which is a huge part of
Speaker 3: Disney's business.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean I think like the only example
Speaker 4: that is they're going to re release my SIMS.
Speaker 2: I think that lives up to it. Probably not, huh.
Speaker 1: I think SIMS is like the only thing that could
Speaker 1: potentially target that demo. But yeah, I don't know, like,
Speaker 1: are are the youth like people like your kids like
Speaker 1: Dibb's age, Are they getting super into Madden? You think?
Speaker 2: Or is her they just importantly play Madden?
Speaker 3: But I don't think that's again, I don't think that's
Speaker 3: like the audience that EA and Andrew Wilson necessarily thinks
Speaker 3: about in his marketing towards Dandy.
Speaker 2: Has something to say about the youth.
Speaker 5: I just think it sounds like Dibbs just really unto
Speaker 5: the Paul Brothers right now.
Speaker 4: But like he's just like that's an appotastic before the
Speaker 4: you know, the main course of Andrew tape.
Speaker 2: Of course, yeah, fast track, fast tracked, yea, Yeah, he's the.
Speaker 4: Type uh yeah, like I think that if you know
Speaker 4: what is EA's big success from a business perspective over
Speaker 4: the last ten years, it is Ultimate Team. How does
Speaker 4: that translate to Disney in any real way? I don't
Speaker 4: think there's one to one there because it's you know,
Speaker 4: video games are such a ripe thing for charging people,
Speaker 4: like up charging people and finding creative ways to charge
Speaker 4: people more.
Speaker 2: They're already good at that at Disney, so the right.
Speaker 4: But they like and then you can't really do that
Speaker 4: with movies and things like that.
Speaker 2: You do with theme parks that boy do they Yes,
Speaker 2: they definitely do it with theme parks.
Speaker 4: So I don't know, maybe maybe they're looking at theme
Speaker 4: parks and like maybe he can think of some innovative
Speaker 4: new ways to separate people from their money. But you're
Speaker 4: probably right, Mike, that this is an early candidate that
Speaker 4: will be forgotten when we when they actually announced, you know,
Speaker 4: the finalized candidates or whatever, or when they actually announce
Speaker 4: who's going to be the next CEO. Like remember when
Speaker 4: Andrew Wilson was mentioned, that's probably what's coming on.
Speaker 3: The last time they went outside for it was Eisner.
Speaker 3: I believe in you know, he came from Paramounts, right,
Speaker 3: which was at least adjacent ish, and he had to
Speaker 3: build so many connections at Paramount with very relevant modern
Speaker 3: people like Steven Spielberg and whatnot.
Speaker 2: Since then, it's been internal. Eiger was internal, and.
Speaker 3: Chapick was the Chappick did come from the theme parks specifically,
Speaker 3: and they kind of had the problems like, well, he
Speaker 3: knows about the theme parks, but does he really understand
Speaker 3: about you know, television and movies. And that was part
Speaker 3: of why we ended up back at Eiger. So the
Speaker 3: whole thing is a mess. And maybe it is just
Speaker 3: too much for one single person to do that good
Speaker 3: of a job at I don't know, Yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, whoever you bring in has got to be someone
Speaker 4: that can build a team of people they trust to
Speaker 4: dictate too, because they can't do it all. I was
Speaker 4: looking at Andrew Wilson's Wikipedia. He holds a black belt
Speaker 4: in Brazilian jiu jitsu, and I don't find that surprising
Speaker 4: at all, not at all.
Speaker 2: At least we able to to fight off the other candidates.
Speaker 4: Then you think, under his blazers he's always wearing Affliction
Speaker 4: T shirts.
Speaker 2: I bet he is ed Hardy still a thing A friend.
Speaker 1: Oh Ed Hardy is coming back?
Speaker 2: Oh really?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 4: I remember that scene in Nubes where the guy comes
Speaker 4: in wearing a like an Ed Hardy or Affliction T
Speaker 4: shirt and Blake Freeman stands up to him heroically and
Speaker 4: just makes fun of him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, have but a punch in the fash and you
Speaker 5: bleed all over your stupid Douce shirt.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I just had to see that scene like
Speaker 2: five times.
Speaker 1: I was looking for something to watch last night and
Speaker 1: I almost put on Nubes. Oh.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's an interesting experiment. You won't forget it.
Speaker 2: I don't do that.
Speaker 3: There's a new summoning slid out on Sibson's Hit and Run.
Speaker 3: Watch that instead of Yeah.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 4: Sony has cut the PS five Slim Digital Edition price
Speaker 4: by seventy dollars until Christmas. Sony Interactive Entertainment has reduced
Speaker 4: the price of the PS five Slim Digital in the
Speaker 4: United States. The console is now available for three hundred
Speaker 4: and eighty dollars, a discount from its regular price of
Speaker 4: four hundred and fifty dollars. Now that was that thing launched?
Speaker 2: Was it four hundred the digital edition?
Speaker 4: Not the Slim obviously, but four hundred right, right, Okay,
Speaker 4: so we're kind of like sneaking a little bit back
Speaker 4: past where where it started at. But okay, yeah, three
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty dollars still is a discount. Yeah, they're
Speaker 4: trying to Like we've seen the console sales have dipped
Speaker 4: year over year for everything including PlayStation five, even though
Speaker 4: they are slowing more PS fives than any of the
Speaker 4: other consoles at the moment. But this holiday is one
Speaker 4: where it's like, hey, maybe they can make some moves
Speaker 4: by doing price cuts. And we haven't seen really aggressive
Speaker 4: price cutting very frequently in the last several years now.
Speaker 4: PlayStation has did do this last year when they were
Speaker 4: trying to meet a very high bar of what they
Speaker 4: set their expectations for with investors. But hey, they're back
Speaker 4: this year more discounting. This feels like something that could
Speaker 4: move the needle for people, like people waiting on the
Speaker 4: sideline for a three hundred dollars ish price tag.
Speaker 3: Maybe I feel like it's the coincidence that the discount
Speaker 3: is the price of a game, right yep, So you hope, like, okay, now,
Speaker 3: you know people will say that it even just being
Speaker 3: there's something about seeing that price start with a three
Speaker 3: where I'm like, that's very reasonable now right.
Speaker 2: It feels very different. Yeah, yeah, all of a sudden, even.
Speaker 1: Hearing the three eighty makes me think like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: well that's way cheaper than a pro. I could go
Speaker 1: grab this one. I think that might be like the
Speaker 1: mental gymnastics some parents might do, say for like their
Speaker 1: little gimmicks of their outgrowing switch.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean we're talking almost half the price right of
Speaker 4: a PS five pro. So I think that does does
Speaker 4: a couple of things. It does make this feel like
Speaker 4: much more of an impulse purchase, something that you feel
Speaker 4: good about getting a suppressive for the holidays. And boy,
Speaker 4: it makes the PS five pro seem that much more expensive. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like almost twice as much as this for the pro
Speaker 4: and it's not twice as good. What are we talking
Speaker 4: about here? So yeah, I think that's always where they
Speaker 4: end up with this weirdness. And this is why we
Speaker 4: don't see a lot of discounting. Is they want to
Speaker 4: make sure that you feel like the upsell ladder thereof
Speaker 4: I want to get a PS five, well that's already
Speaker 4: that's four hundred dollars, but I want to dis drive,
Speaker 4: so I'll just get the five hundred. If I'm already spending
Speaker 4: five hundred, might as well spend a little bit more
Speaker 4: and get the PS five Pro and then I'll get
Speaker 4: the disk drive for that thing. So they want you
Speaker 4: to feel that, but this is so far removed from
Speaker 4: that PS five Pro price that it doesn't feel like
Speaker 4: it can get you into that line of thinking. Lack
Speaker 4: of PS five Pro shortages mean that some scalpers are
Speaker 4: reselling at a loss.
Speaker 2: That's a feel good story.
Speaker 4: I mentioned this on Game Last Mornings and everyone was
Speaker 4: very happy to hear this. But apparently in the UK
Speaker 4: a lot are selling for the for under the seven
Speaker 4: hundred pound price on eBay. Some are even selling at
Speaker 4: like five hundred and eighty pounds for the PlayStation five Pro.
Speaker 4: So I think this just speaks to Okay, the demand
Speaker 4: is not there. Maybe it's more supply, but it does
Speaker 4: seem like the demand for the PS five Pro isn't
Speaker 4: as high.
Speaker 2: And I mean, does this surprise you guys at all?
Speaker 2: I think this is probably what we expected. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like that scalper market really surged during the
Speaker 1: pandemic because people were clamoring to get APS five, but
Speaker 1: now because a lot of people already have a PS
Speaker 1: five and it isn't essential to get the pro A
Speaker 1: lot of those scalpers sent it on them and fuck them.
Speaker 2: Fuck theme absolutely.
Speaker 4: PS five hit sixty five million consoles sold, as Sony
Speaker 4: says to expect a mix of single player and service
Speaker 4: games going forward.
Speaker 2: This is kind of just that. They had their earnings
Speaker 2: report sixty.
Speaker 4: Five point five million PlayStation fives sold PS plus revenue
Speaker 4: increased due to higher tiers of service and pricing hikes.
Speaker 4: Monthly active users in playtime across all platforms showed positive growth,
Speaker 4: and PlayStation Studios is promising in a mix or promising
Speaker 4: a mix of single player and live service games. They
Speaker 4: also had mixed results in live service ambitions, with successes
Speaker 4: like Hell Divers two and then en cancelation of Last
Speaker 4: of Us multiplayer and of course Concord. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: it does feel like a lot of parts of Sony
Speaker 4: are working, the live service parts necessary aren't necessarily working,
Speaker 4: and some are crashing, and so it does feel like
Speaker 4: PlayStation overall is in this. Hey, it is what it's been,
Speaker 4: and they're going to kind of stick with what's working
Speaker 4: going forward, like a status quo with PlayStation and I'm
Speaker 4: mostly fine with that. Do we get the sense that
Speaker 4: Sony might still be at some unease with where they're
Speaker 4: at positioned in the market.
Speaker 3: I mean, they were hoping for the live service games
Speaker 3: to be a big boon, and it said we had
Speaker 3: kind of one big and one failure kind of cancel
Speaker 3: each other out maybe and in the best case scenario,
Speaker 3: and you're looking at what's coming next, right, because there's
Speaker 3: that what's the other live service game that we're all like, oh,
Speaker 3: there's not much that thing not marathon marathon games, fair games. Yes,
Speaker 3: that's it. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like, eh, we'll see
Speaker 3: about that. I mean it's funny to like expect to
Speaker 3: mix a single player in service games. Okay, so then
Speaker 3: what you've been doing, right, nothing's really going to change.
Speaker 3: It seems like they're gonna don't gonna stay the course here.
Speaker 4: Yeah uh Astrobat did sell one point five million copies though,
Speaker 4: sonya yeah?
Speaker 2: Is that yay? I don't know. I always struggle so
Speaker 2: much with this. I'm always like to is that good?
Speaker 5: But my barometer is still like was a ps one
Speaker 5: that it was like a million to get the green label,
Speaker 5: and it's like pretty parsons then, So.
Speaker 3: I also missed when it was just like this game
Speaker 3: sort a million copies, that's fantastic, It's right, and I
Speaker 3: bet it certainly isn't bad. But there's part of me
Speaker 3: so sixty five point five million PlayStation fives and it's like, man,
Speaker 3: only like one out of forty people have Astrobot, Like,
Speaker 3: why do you even have a PlayStation?
Speaker 2: And I know why they have a PlayStation.
Speaker 3: It's that they can play Fortnite in Call of Duty probably,
Speaker 3: But still, I just want to live in the world
Speaker 3: where Astrobot is some like giant Cells five million, ten
Speaker 3: million copies success, and you know, I know that's probably
Speaker 3: unrealistic in a lot of ways, but I just wish it.
Speaker 2: Nonetheless, if it was on Nintendo, right though, it would
Speaker 2: be a five to ten million seller.
Speaker 4: Right, That's that's the thing where it's like, then I'm like,
Speaker 4: I can't we just say mess these things together a
Speaker 4: little bit more. I think I was hoping that by
Speaker 4: the time we got to this point and we were
Speaker 4: hearing this first number, I lot like two point five million,
Speaker 4: three million at least is kind of what I was,
Speaker 4: and that was also very optimistic. Now the good news
Speaker 4: continues to be this is one of the fastest selling
Speaker 4: platformers that doesn't.
Speaker 2: Have Mario in the name.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Ever, and you know, in.
Speaker 4: The United States, I think it's it is the fastest
Speaker 4: one that does have Mari and the label, you know,
Speaker 4: in the like the last ten, fifteen, twenty years whatever,
Speaker 4: Matt Piskutel says. And it did about as good as
Speaker 4: you can expect it to realistically speaking. I was just
Speaker 4: kind of like, can we get a little unrealistic, can
Speaker 4: we just recognize how good of a game this is?
Speaker 2: And it's like it didn't break through to that.
Speaker 4: Now it still has the Holidays ahead of it, it still
Speaker 4: has word of mouth, it still has the fact that
Speaker 4: it almost certainly will be nominated for a Game Award
Speaker 4: and will show up in a lot of game awards
Speaker 4: across a lot of different media outlets. So there's a
Speaker 4: chance that it could go and have a really bright future.
Speaker 4: But it's like, you know, there are games like this
Speaker 4: that have broken out. It takes two one that the
Speaker 4: Game Award, right, and they just not that thing sold
Speaker 4: like twenty million copies or some insane shit like that.
Speaker 2: Divorce what's that? Oh yeah, divorce, Yeah right, you know what.
Speaker 4: Divorce power probably instead of a shrinking that would have
Speaker 4: been much better. So, yeah, the story here is one
Speaker 4: point five million is good. I wish it was better.
Speaker 2: Maybe it will be better as it keeps going ahead
Speaker 2: here and gets.
Speaker 1: I think with the Holidays coming up, Astrobot maybe like
Speaker 1: the I don't want to say baby game, but the
Speaker 1: platform or that some younger gamers may hop over to.
Speaker 3: Sure, but again there's a bit of a problem with
Speaker 3: how many like younger games. How many people under the
Speaker 3: age of ten have a PlayStation five? Really is that
Speaker 3: really the market or that console in the same way
Speaker 3: that you know PS one, PS two is, Yeah, a
Speaker 3: lot of young people had, especially the PS one right,
Speaker 3: PS one got cheap.
Speaker 2: There's so many people kind of grew up with Spiro
Speaker 2: and Crash, especially in that era, and Sony has kind
Speaker 2: of left that behind. Is sort of given that market
Speaker 2: up to Nintendo, and I think that was always a mistake,
Speaker 2: and I think it's you know, if they're looking for growth.
Speaker 3: I don't know about live service games, see ho risky
Speaker 3: that is. I really do wish that there was a
Speaker 3: bit more of a push for family friendly games again instead.
Speaker 2: Boo boo, boo boo.
Speaker 4: So I got a correspondent, Dan Riiker from the field.
Speaker 2: I'll break in with Bricket story here.
Speaker 5: That's right, coming in from the Taco Bell Corporation. The
Speaker 5: Chat has informed us that December nineteenth, nation wide, there
Speaker 5: are Crispy Chicken nuggets with the Bell sauce gimmick and
Speaker 5: Jalapeno honey mustard sauce, both of which I can confirm
Speaker 5: are incredible, are coming out nationwide for a limited time.
Speaker 2: That's right, folks.
Speaker 5: I hate them copiously when they were a test market
Speaker 5: here in Minnesota. Now all of you can see how
Speaker 5: delicious it is. Oh my god, I'm so fucking excited.
Speaker 2: We did eat those at your house elast. We were
Speaker 2: going to it, but they stopped doing it right before me. Okay,
Speaker 2: so you have not had them.
Speaker 5: They are shit fantastic, And if it's gonna be a limited time,
Speaker 5: I'm going to have those all through the holiday season.
Speaker 1: Hell yes, great, excited body, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 4: Now I want to have to go to two places
Speaker 4: when the one kid who likes Taco Bell wants Taco
Speaker 4: Bell and the other kid wants chicken nuggets.
Speaker 5: Well, it's wild because like when they were out, I
Speaker 5: was just getting nuggets and fries from Taco Bell, and
Speaker 5: I liked both of them better than McDonald's, which I
Speaker 5: love McDonald's.
Speaker 1: You think you could do a hundred of these?
Speaker 5: They're pretty chunky. No, not, I could do forty honey mustard.
Speaker 1: I'm too concerned for my health to try.
Speaker 4: And thinks jalap jalapeno honey mustard.
Speaker 2: Is that what you said? That sounds really fucking good.
Speaker 5: It's good, and I'm not a mustard guy. But that
Speaker 5: Bell sauce is fan what foul sauce? It's like orange?
Speaker 2: Great, it's like cane sauce, I know exactly.
Speaker 5: No, it's like spicy orange. Yeah, but not like not
Speaker 5: like the fruit orange. But we knew you didn't mean
Speaker 5: the color snicy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't worry. It's fine and orange like
Speaker 2: a orange chicken sauce is pretty. It's not like that.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: Well, all right, let's talk about returning to the previous
Speaker 4: world that we used to live in. For example, Fortnite
Speaker 4: og is returning permanently. So you remember they did Fortnite
Speaker 4: Classic Fortnite proback as an event a few months back,
Speaker 4: and it was very, very popular, and starting in December,
Speaker 4: that's just going to be another option that people can
Speaker 4: just go select and it will just be the game
Speaker 4: as it was when it launched.
Speaker 2: I suppose it.
Speaker 5: And for someone like me that came in really late
Speaker 5: to Fortnite, I think I came in when they introduced
Speaker 5: John Cena, it was fun to go back to like
Speaker 5: the original map, and so like, I'm glad I'll play that.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's just so interesting how you know these life
Speaker 3: service games where they're changing all the time, and sometimes
Speaker 3: it's like balance changes or this, and that turns out
Speaker 3: a lot of changes are just arbitrating for the sake
Speaker 3: of change, so that when you do revert to the LG,
Speaker 3: it sometimes just works just as well, or there's something
Speaker 3: about that that counts as a change as well, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it counts as a change.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 4: Now, maybe we have more of a conversation about this.
Speaker 4: Because Overwatch Classic is an event that brings back the
Speaker 4: original heroes and maps. Overwatch two is launching Overwatch Colond Classic,
Speaker 4: a series of nostalgia inducing events that take players back
Speaker 4: to the game's early days. The first event will run
Speaker 4: from November twelfth to December second, and will feature original
Speaker 4: heroes abilities maps in the Classic six v six team
Speaker 4: based format. Now for me, it's like, man, okay, we're
Speaker 4: already like at the nostalgia, but it's like eight years, right,
Speaker 4: is that we're between now and when Overwatch over a
Speaker 4: while and.
Speaker 2: There were so many drastic changes with Overwatch.
Speaker 3: I mean just the six v six thing, right, because
Speaker 3: Overwatch two went the five be five, So that's a
Speaker 3: big deal. It's a little weird for me because like, well,
Speaker 3: the Overwatch changed so much and so quickly that what
Speaker 3: I'm nostalgic for is maybe like a year into Overwatch,
Speaker 3: not necessarily launch day Overwatch, where you could have six
Speaker 3: Winston's in a match and things like that. It'll be
Speaker 3: fun and wacky to try again.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 3: I am glad that they're doing this, but it can
Speaker 3: because a problem where this is so different than the
Speaker 3: Overwatch we have.
Speaker 2: Now, what happens if everybody likes this more?
Speaker 3: Right, But here's the game that's just been changing so
Speaker 3: gradually and sometimes drastically over those eight years that this
Speaker 3: OG version is going to feel very different.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know a couple like eight years is longer
Speaker 4: than most console generations, so you know that is like, oh,
Speaker 4: I'm playing a three D game and then if you
Speaker 4: go back eight years, I was playing like Atari almost.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a long time. But also this does feel like, oh,
Speaker 4: this is the cycle that these games go through, and
Speaker 4: this is the midlife crisis of they're looking around and
Speaker 4: they just want things to be back to the way
Speaker 4: they used to be, and fans just want to want
Speaker 4: to recapture that magic and they're looking for their youth
Speaker 4: and the way that they felt when they came online
Speaker 4: after school and they were playing the game, and now
Speaker 4: the game is going to feel like that again. And
Speaker 4: part of me is like, okay, is this like okay,
Speaker 4: then what happens next? How do you go forward from here?
Speaker 4: And some do like World war Craft has definitely found
Speaker 4: a way to do that, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, like World Warcraft just kind of has the
Speaker 3: two verticals. Now you have Classic and you have you know,
Speaker 3: the new stuff going and some people play one than
Speaker 3: the others, some people play both, and then you have
Speaker 3: like RuneScape or I think the classic version of RuneScape
Speaker 3: is kind of just the version most Yeah, right, right,
Speaker 3: so that could also happen at any moment, all right.
Speaker 4: Valve is selling a limited edition white Steam deck o
Speaker 4: led starting next week on November eighteenth, so six days.
Speaker 3: I not even considered yet.
Speaker 2: I'm good on my rog Galley X life. I love
Speaker 2: that thing. I like that too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't afford this right now, but it's it
Speaker 4: looks really nice. It's white with some cool colored accents
Speaker 4: on it, but otherwise.
Speaker 2: It's it's the Steam deck O. It is exactly the
Speaker 2: same thing. So what a white one too? No?
Speaker 4: Yeah, first I mean I am like, oh, it would
Speaker 4: be nice to have a new one because then it's like,
Speaker 4: now I would really have enough of the ones that are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have three, so the kids would each.
Speaker 4: Have one and I could have one and we have
Speaker 4: the Steam family sharing now, so that works really well.
Speaker 4: So I'm like, I'm starting to justify it, but like, no,
Speaker 4: I should just.
Speaker 2: Wait, me too for my kids.
Speaker 3: One thing I don't like about the rock Ally X
Speaker 3: is that the original rock Ally was white and the
Speaker 3: ex is black, and I'm like, it's not quite as sharp.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have like I worry about, oh, it was
Speaker 4: the white gonna look dirty, But I have the white
Speaker 4: Ally and it looks great. That's what you all are too,
Speaker 4: you know it shut out shout out the jam there,
Speaker 4: all right, And then Switch to will be backwards compatible
Speaker 4: with Switch.
Speaker 2: Nintendo confirmed last week. That's what we hoped for.
Speaker 4: They they just came out and said it. Part of
Speaker 4: that is probably hey, keep buying games because they're going
Speaker 4: to work on the Switch too. But also it's like
Speaker 4: that they're promising to continue the Nintendo Switch account, so
Speaker 4: all the games you have purchase will continue forward, and
Speaker 4: then also Nintendo Switch Online so your subscription will continue forward.
Speaker 4: And they want that continuity because they've seen what it
Speaker 4: did for Sony. And you know, I always mentioned this,
Speaker 4: but Sony traditionally it would launch you do console and
Speaker 4: that year its profits would dip drastically. Infect it would
Speaker 4: always lose money, and it did that every single generation.
Speaker 4: The PS three was really bad where it took years
Speaker 4: to become profitable. With the PS four to PS five,
Speaker 4: it has been a very smooth transition. They just kept
Speaker 4: making profit throughout that entire time. There was almost no
Speaker 4: blip at all. A lot of that is chalked up
Speaker 4: to these accounts having your games, so people felt comfortable
Speaker 4: continuing to buy games and the subscriptions. Nintendo once in
Speaker 4: on that, and so that moved them to make this
Speaker 4: happen because this was not just like oh, flip and
Speaker 4: a switch of Oh, this thing is definitely going to
Speaker 4: be compatible with the switch. They had to do some work,
Speaker 4: but they did the work and now here we are,
Speaker 4: we're going to.
Speaker 2: Get the benefit of it. So good bums.
Speaker 1: Up to this greb, has there been any updates on
Speaker 1: that mysterious online test that they ran?
Speaker 2: It's over?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's over, but.
Speaker 4: They haven't said anything. I wish they would just release
Speaker 4: it because it is fun.
Speaker 2: It is it looks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I should share some more stuff, you guys, because
Speaker 4: there's there's you're getting a little bulldozer or a little
Speaker 4: fork lift, all right, It's like it's the size of
Speaker 4: a little cube. It's the size of you. And you're
Speaker 4: just like going and you drive around. You pick up
Speaker 4: a bunch of blocks and you just drop them down
Speaker 4: and make a big thing and it's uh and then
Speaker 4: you make the thing too big over to the side
Speaker 4: and you see the block starting to wabble and you're like, oh,
Speaker 4: I got to build a pillow pillar under that, and
Speaker 4: then you forget to do that and you go up
Speaker 4: there and all collapses and.
Speaker 2: It's cool. I want to play that game. It is
Speaker 2: god a cool thing.
Speaker 4: So they have not said what their plans are. They
Speaker 4: have not said like and weirdly, when they were like,
Speaker 4: hey do us do us a solid you don't talk
Speaker 4: about this with anybody.
Speaker 2: Most people have been like, yeah, okay, we're not going
Speaker 2: to do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone seems to agree. Yeah, So there hasn't been
Speaker 4: a lot. I was kind of waiting for the damn
Speaker 4: to break and I'm like, oh, I'll talk about it.
Speaker 4: Then when everyone else is talking about and everyone's like, no,
Speaker 4: we were really afraid of anything.
Speaker 2: Please don't please don't come like that valve came.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely not so uh, but you know, it's
Speaker 4: it ended, and that was sort of it at this point,
Speaker 4: and it was not like, hey, look forward to more
Speaker 4: at this point, I look forward to it on the
Speaker 4: switch to they'll probably talk about it again. Maybe it's
Speaker 4: some direct in the future, but yeah, in the meantime,
Speaker 4: it's just this mystery thing that came and went and
Speaker 4: ten thousand people got to play it and that was it.
Speaker 4: All right, last couple of stories here. Grand Theft Auto
Speaker 4: six is still on track for Fall twenty twenty five release. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they're kind of they're saying this, I think that's probably
Speaker 4: going to happen or could happen, but I.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't be surprised if we get a delay into early
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3: Right Team twenty twenty five, I believe I thought I
Speaker 3: really care about guys. I thought about it, dam not
Speaker 3: having a strong position for some.
Speaker 2: Reason, not a rockstar guy at all.
Speaker 3: I like read that Redemption one a lot, and then
Speaker 3: I like to read their Redemption two pretty good, more
Speaker 3: than most people on this site.
Speaker 2: I think ETA games don't do a ton for me.
Speaker 3: Like I played through all five and had an okay
Speaker 3: time with it was largely unmoved, and I think that's
Speaker 3: the only GT I ever beat.
Speaker 2: What about Bully Played Boy?
Speaker 3: I bet I would probably like Bully Bully Play Bully though,
Speaker 3: because I was like, I don't like bullies.
Speaker 2: When it came was like, why would I play as
Speaker 2: a bully?
Speaker 5: It was like, Oh, it's gonna You're gonna be a
Speaker 5: bully and get people's swirlies. No, it's got a heartfelt story.
Speaker 5: It's actually really.
Speaker 1: I never checked it out either.
Speaker 5: It's not probably I will get on the Bully soapbox
Speaker 5: any day of the week. Uh, that game is fantastic
Speaker 5: I'm gonna played thrit again several years ago, and I
Speaker 5: was like, God, damn, what a cool, unique thing.
Speaker 2: They never just did another one of these. I'm gonna get.
Speaker 4: A table tennis running on the Parsec PC and we
Speaker 4: should play some table Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do that please.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was surprising. I wasn't actually bullied very much
Speaker 3: by super Did I get bullied more than you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Very much?
Speaker 2: What the well?
Speaker 1: You went to Catholic school too, right?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sorry, nerd?
Speaker 1: What did your brothers protect my older brother a.
Speaker 3: Little bit because he was a scene here. I was
Speaker 3: not so much of my brother, but my brother's one
Speaker 3: friend who was very tall and big, and he like
Speaker 3: liked to pick on me a little bit. But yeah,
Speaker 3: he was was also a bit of like, you don't
Speaker 3: touch him, he's mine.
Speaker 4: Do you think there was a possibility that you were
Speaker 4: so pathetic that people.
Speaker 2: Didn't find it? My leading theory because I was very quiet,
Speaker 2: and so I was cooler after school, and I am
Speaker 2: I cooler than you.
Speaker 3: I was very quiet in school really until I was weird,
Speaker 3: like normal school and weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah I don't.
Speaker 3: I think my weirdness was actually pretty closeted back then.
Speaker 2: I talked about wrestling a lot of recess. Yeah, see,
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't even talk even wrestling. I think I was
Speaker 3: born too attitude. AER for me was like sixth grade,
Speaker 3: so everybody was just into it. And after that I
Speaker 3: wasn't watching anymore. So, like you know, like I wasn't
Speaker 3: going around singing zippity dudesa in the high school hallways.
Speaker 2: Right, So Mike was a job. I was the nerd. Okay, wow,
Speaker 2: because man, that mustaye? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did either of you have letterman jackets?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Actually I think I did get I got a letter
Speaker 3: because of Marching band, So I had a letter, but
Speaker 3: I don't think I got the jacket, okay, Jesus.
Speaker 4: Uh for the Weirder eleven twelve, twenty twenty four, Poule, Yeah,
Speaker 4: Dan is winning forty five to six winning.
Speaker 2: There's been a bad year for you, to know. I've
Speaker 2: been on board.
Speaker 5: I've been seeing the sentiment later that I'm dumber and
Speaker 5: you're weirder, and I'm on board.
Speaker 2: With that sentiment.
Speaker 4: I think I think, didn't Kayla just say that to you?
Speaker 4: And now you're calling that a wide health sentiment. Many
Speaker 4: people are sharing this, Many people are people are saying
Speaker 4: I can't make a grilled cheese.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like I'll be like, I don't put
Speaker 3: beads in my britle. Might people be like, ah it?
Speaker 3: Dan will be like, oh is it?
Speaker 7: Is it?
Speaker 3: Milk cow pie? I wasn't say that they are equal.
Speaker 3: I didn't say they're eqal What you didn't say that?
Speaker 1: What were you didn't say cowpie? For folks that are confused, no,
Speaker 1: go back check the tape.
Speaker 2: I don't think I said that.
Speaker 1: Hey, we say this all the time. It's a good
Speaker 1: podcast voicemail dumb Truck. If you haven't listened in a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, go listen to this last one. For sure,
Speaker 1: it ends on it ends on some notes. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to say high note, but it ends on a note.
Speaker 3: Oh there's a part where somebody talked about my beautiful
Speaker 3: dark eyes for a while, and.
Speaker 2: I like that beautiful Italian eye.
Speaker 5: I did, okay, people, I did think the utters were
Speaker 5: the ball's equivalent.
Speaker 2: That is true.
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, it's the same thing as saying is in
Speaker 4: the milk cowpy.
Speaker 2: It's the exact same thing. I'm just saying. It's where
Speaker 2: like I screwed him would be something can be stupid
Speaker 2: and weird.
Speaker 1: Dan, have you seen the Pokemon milk tank?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Can you google that? And I just want to see
Speaker 1: your reaction of it. I feel like this is a
Speaker 1: trap milk.
Speaker 5: I don't want to google Pokemon make my algorithm a
Speaker 5: nerdy for sure?
Speaker 4: Okay, guy you pisoftis being sued for making The Crew
Speaker 4: unplayable basically two people in California. As soon I'm saying, hey,
Speaker 4: you made it seem like if I bought this game
Speaker 4: on this disc, I would have a game. But really,
Speaker 4: all I was getting is a key and a license
Speaker 4: that you could take away. And there is a rule
Speaker 4: in California now that the basically everyone that's just selling
Speaker 4: software like that it has to tell people you're.
Speaker 2: Just buying a license.
Speaker 4: But Ubisoft didn't say that because the rule or the
Speaker 4: regulation was not in effect at that time. So these
Speaker 4: people are suing Ubisoft saying hey, this is unfair and
Speaker 4: this could be a class action lawsuit. We'll see how
Speaker 4: it goes. But I mostly bring this up to point
Speaker 4: out like, what does this get us? This is not
Speaker 4: going to get us a future where Ubisoft suddenly keeps
Speaker 4: all their games online forever. Instead, it will just get
Speaker 4: us more warning labels on box art, so that'll be
Speaker 4: a fun future. Hideo Cojimus desk Randing is also available
Speaker 4: on Xbox now. That was a surprise release that happened
Speaker 4: in the last week. At simultaneously, the rights for the
Speaker 4: game reverted completely over to Kachma Productions. Parts of the
Speaker 4: trademark I P and and you know the copyright were
Speaker 4: owned by Sony up until that moment. Sony doesn't have

Speaker 4: is about to come out, so uh yeah, good, good
Speaker 4: for Kojama and I guess if you want to try
Speaker 4: out Death Strain on Xbox that is now possible, So

Speaker 4: I think I'd be weird hit the president was called
Speaker 4: your Highness.
Speaker 2: That'd be a weird, weird place to live.
Speaker 1: Sure, all right, Next email comes from Jeff and they
Speaker 1: have they're asking for advice. Hey, bombers, what is the
Speaker 1: best best method for reheating McDonald's French fries. I tried microwaven,
Speaker 1: microwaving oven, mini oven, and refrying them in a pan,
Speaker 1: but it's never the same. Please share any tips, including
Speaker 1: set temperature and or duration for your preferred method. Thanks, Jeff, Toronto, Ontario,
Speaker 1: sent from my Bell Samsung device over Canada's largest network.
Speaker 5: I'm an authority on this. I have been trying to
Speaker 5: reheat McDonald's French fries my entire life, and I gave
Speaker 5: up very early on in life because you know your
Speaker 5: microwave oven, it's not ever the same air fryer is
Speaker 5: the closest to decent. Ever, it's not the same. It's
Speaker 5: not it's not great, but it is decent. It is
Speaker 5: good enough to where I will save fries now because
Speaker 5: it's worth reheating those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, it's.
Speaker 4: Good enough to like I will feed it to my
Speaker 4: children and not feel like I'm doing something bad.
Speaker 3: Sure, how is anybody possibly having leftover McDonald's.
Speaker 5: It only happens if you're ordered too much, Like it's like,
Speaker 5: you know, we got four fries for two people or
Speaker 5: something like, I'm definitely eating all the fries every time.
Speaker 2: But yeah, have you ever met a five or seven
Speaker 2: year old girl?
Speaker 4: They just like, well, like I'm so hungry, I'm starving,
Speaker 4: and you get them like the regular amount of food
Speaker 4: and they're like, I had two bites and now I'm stuffed,
Speaker 4: and I'm I'm not wasting this. You're gonna eat this
Speaker 4: shit tomorrow.
Speaker 3: It is strange with the cause I see it in
Speaker 3: the East nephews all the time and just how little
Speaker 3: they eat, And I'm like, don't you need more food
Speaker 3: than anybody? You're like is doubling in sized constantly. Aren't
Speaker 3: you just ravenously hungry at all? Times, and like you
Speaker 3: give them their attends and cheeseburgers, and though they take
Speaker 3: like two bites and be like this is gres, it's both.
Speaker 4: They're constantly full and they're constantly starving. It's like as
Speaker 4: soon as they get home from school, they will not
Speaker 4: have eaten their lunch, but they will immediately ask me
Speaker 4: to make them all kinds of different foods, ramen, noodles,
Speaker 4: all this other stuff. They just want everything constantly, and
Speaker 4: then when they sit down to eat it, they'll have
Speaker 4: a couple of bites and then it's done. Feeding children
Speaker 4: is the most frustrating part of having kids, for sure.
Speaker 1: Emailer, I want to suggest to you something I did
Speaker 1: when I got a little too zuited one night and
Speaker 1: had an abundance of leftover fries. Yo, repurpose those fries.
Speaker 1: What about you turn those fries into mashed potatoes? Who well,
Speaker 1: if you turn those fries into yoki? What if you
Speaker 1: doant that? I may have gone too blasted and had
Speaker 1: a bunch of fries and was.
Speaker 2: Like, man, I got some tomato sauce on man yesterday.
Speaker 2: What if we just make yoki real quick? Oh?
Speaker 4: Man, it's not a bad like make using fries as
Speaker 4: the base for Irish box dy.
Speaker 2: That would be really good. Okay, I might try that out.
Speaker 2: Truck can't do that thing.
Speaker 9: It.
Speaker 3: I think it is a shared memory everybody has, like
Speaker 3: the one time they tried just microwaving McDonald's French fried and.
Speaker 5: Just what happened. It's like, oh was this ever food?
Speaker 5: What nuggets? Even like you can you can salvage a burger.
Speaker 5: Taco Bell is the most reheatable fast food. It's crazy
Speaker 5: even like like I air fried Taco Bell like crazy
Speaker 5: now because definitely the best way.
Speaker 2: But microwave is pretty good. Still.
Speaker 4: You probably you probably order without like lettuce, but I
Speaker 4: was gonna say, oh yeah, yeah because it's very not
Speaker 4: microwaveable and it has all the vegetables.
Speaker 5: Or if I'm going to get like a bunch of
Speaker 5: taco bell and like one of them is a cheesy
Speaker 5: Guardia crunch with lettuce in it, because I actually don't
Speaker 5: most stuff I order doesn't have lettuce anyway. But I'll
Speaker 5: get a grdiaa crunch, and I know that's going to
Speaker 5: get soggy and stuff, so I'll eat that first because
Speaker 5: like and I'll save like the Qesadia for last, because
Speaker 5: that's going to air fry and.
Speaker 2: Be better than ever, you know, right, totally.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm just like more tolerant of
Speaker 3: it or I'm just getting lazy, but I will eat
Speaker 3: a lot of my food just cold out of the fridge.
Speaker 2: Now I don't care anymore. Yeah, sure, I even taco
Speaker 2: bell sometimes. I've never done that. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: I like a cold regular burrito, you know, like a
Speaker 1: day old.
Speaker 2: Burrito, pizza, for sure? Is you know that's good cold? Sure,
Speaker 2: steff is cold.
Speaker 4: Stuff's not gonna be here for dinner tonight. She's gonna
Speaker 4: be driving back from Canton. Uh WHI garbage food? Should
Speaker 4: I get from me?
Speaker 2: And the kids?
Speaker 5: Get a couple of my Domino's order, I would like that.
Speaker 5: Get a bucket of fried chicken.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of chicken, Arbi, get Arby's.
Speaker 3: Get a bunch of extra roast beef because those sandwiches
Speaker 3: are actually very good cold.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that fridge. It is a good snack.
Speaker 1: You gotta Popeyes near your grub.
Speaker 2: Get a Tuesday special. I wish I got.
Speaker 5: A new Golden barbecue, the new chicken sandwich. That's good
Speaker 5: as hell.
Speaker 4: But when the pandemic started and everyone was getting or
Speaker 4: was ordering their food to be delivered with door dash.
Speaker 4: There was that warning like, don't get French fries, They're
Speaker 4: gonna be ba by the time they get to your house.
Speaker 4: I think like Windy specifically re re like formulated their
Speaker 4: French fries to survive the drive of the house, and
Speaker 4: that's why they're crispier. But I don't know, Like a
Speaker 4: lot of times it feels like that's there's like this
Speaker 4: layer of film on it. That is why I still
Speaker 4: prefer McDonald's, Like you want the ephemeral nature of fries
Speaker 4: to be there, that's what makes them good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, brother, Yeah, I've still.
Speaker 2: We just been eating that mister mime cheese. Oh I
Speaker 2: don't like that sense. Yeah, where is mister mimes utters? No,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Next email comes from. I didn't write it down. Hello, bombshells.

Speaker 1: Pickman is the yellow one, but the rock Pickman is
Speaker 1: pretty good. My significant other has endorsed the idea of
Speaker 1: a yellow Pickman tattoo above my ankle. This way he
Speaker 1: can follow me everywhere, just like he does in the game.
Speaker 2: Oh that's cute.
Speaker 1: Also, he'd be following me against his will, just like
Speaker 1: he does in the game. I'm wondering what are the
Speaker 1: chances there will be a Typeflosian style cancelation of the
Speaker 1: yellow Pickman or Pickman in general, or anything other other
Speaker 1: fictional creature I may hold dear to my heart, thank
Speaker 1: you for keeping us happy. Guys all love.

Speaker 5: was confident she was gonna like that, and now she's
Speaker 5: got a big dragon rush thing on her arm.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like the game she's played the most, right, Oh, Skyrim,
Speaker 4: she's played the shit out of Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: All right. Next email comes from Ragnor in Norway. Hello,
Speaker 1: uh the email and ask hey, Bombers, what is the
Speaker 1: best game that you never finished and why didn't you
Speaker 1: finish it?
Speaker 2: Wish is Ragnar from Norway.
Speaker 5: It's funny, Mike said earlier, and one of the only
Speaker 5: GTAs you beat. I realized as big of a game
Speaker 5: it was, and as much as I played it, I
Speaker 5: don't know if I.
Speaker 2: Ever beat GTA three.
Speaker 5: I think I played these shit out of it, but
Speaker 5: I don't remember, like I maybe got into that, like
Speaker 5: Third Island, I don't know if I ever beat it.
Speaker 2: That's a game that, like man, I did a lot
Speaker 2: of bullshitting around in Oh yeah, Constant.
Speaker 5: My favorite was you'd kill that one guy that was
Speaker 5: walking down the university area and he was carrying a
Speaker 5: spiral notebook and if you zoom in on it on
Speaker 5: with your sniper rifle.
Speaker 2: He was drawing a spurting penis. I thought that was there,
Speaker 2: so I served clearly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I thought I saw that there was
Speaker 3: an update to the console PC versions.
Speaker 2: Of Yeah, like Tilters that were in like the mobile version.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I did, like, I was like looking forward
Speaker 3: to those remasters because I was like, I haven't really
Speaker 3: played a ton of these games. I played them when
Speaker 3: they came out when everyone was freaking out. I'd like
Speaker 3: to go and beat them. But then everybody hated the
Speaker 3: remasters and seemed like they did a bad job. So
Speaker 3: they're in a decent place now. I might like to
Speaker 3: try the advice.
Speaker 2: I would love to go back to Vice City. Yeah,
Speaker 2: vibe really good vibes like Vibe City.
Speaker 3: I try so hard to finish the games I play anymore. Honestly,
Speaker 3: if I like, if I like a game at least
Speaker 3: a bit, I usually do want to beat it.
Speaker 2: I'm sure that there are.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm sure there must be some example somewhere of
Speaker 3: a game that I was enjoying and then.
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, Tales of a Rise. Actually I was really liking.
Speaker 3: And uh, it had like a very strong kind of
Speaker 3: midpoint thing and happened, like, oh, that's neat, but this
Speaker 3: is a good place where I can maybe take a
Speaker 3: break for a bit because some other things came out
Speaker 3: and maybe I want to a case or something, and
Speaker 3: I just never got back to it.
Speaker 2: And I feel bad about that because I was really
Speaker 2: liking Tales of Ares.
Speaker 1: First one that comes to mind for me is seki
Speaker 1: Row just because it was tied to a feature on
Speaker 1: the website that just stopped doing because I ran out
Speaker 1: of time. I don't want to go back to it,
Speaker 1: kind of want to go back to it.
Speaker 5: I feel like both the Final Fantasy seven remakes, I
Speaker 5: like really enjoyed, and then they just kept going and
Speaker 5: going and going, and then I stopped, like five hours
Speaker 5: from the end on both of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we mentioned it earlier, Baba, as you at, I'm like, man, yeah,
Speaker 4: I should go back.
Speaker 2: And finish that. I really like that game. It just
Speaker 2: made me feel so stupid at a certain point.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, last two emails of the show. Second and
Speaker 1: last one is Grocery Gossip. What are some stigma surrounding
Speaker 1: grocery stores in your area? The Seattle area trader Jos
Speaker 1: is notorious for how god awful it is to park at.
Speaker 1: Is it the same for TJ's in the rest of
Speaker 1: America or is it just the West Coast phenomenon. Do
Speaker 1: the Aldi's and Sam's Clubs of the country we also
Speaker 1: have quirks.
Speaker 3: Well, Aldi's famous for you know, you have to get
Speaker 3: the quarter to get your shopping car. You got to
Speaker 3: pay for the bags and everything like that. My Aldi,
Speaker 3: I think, I think I talked about before. The building
Speaker 3: one like half a mile away from me, and it
Speaker 3: is coming up fast.
Speaker 2: It's opening next month. Very excited for them.
Speaker 4: Well, is it just flies in the face of Reker
Speaker 4: grocery st grocery mart wisdom.
Speaker 2: They don't pay for a grocery cart.
Speaker 5: But I'm not carrying around a bunch of fucking quarters
Speaker 5: just so I can hold my groceries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, I like it in theory because it's.
Speaker 4: Like I am a fan of like economic incentives to
Speaker 4: do things. It's like, yeah, if you want someone to
Speaker 4: do something, put a little money on the line, and
Speaker 4: then I never have a quarter, so I can never
Speaker 4: partake in that. So I go to Aldi and I'm
Speaker 4: holding a bunch of loose items in my arms like
Speaker 4: an asshole, And.
Speaker 5: That's you know what the best feeling in the world
Speaker 5: was was after I spent many years and in San
Speaker 5: Francisco and New York City, places where I didn't have
Speaker 5: a car, and so it was like, okay, you have
Speaker 5: to basically I'm doing Amazon Fresh or Instacart, or I'm
Speaker 5: walking to a store that doesn't have a great selection
Speaker 5: and just buying what I can carry back. And it's
Speaker 5: just like after growing up with the Midwest where it's
Speaker 5: just big parking lots, you drive a car, you fill
Speaker 5: up a trunk, a big space, just like and then
Speaker 5: I was gone for a long time, coming back to
Speaker 5: the Midwest and having a car and just loading up
Speaker 5: a car and driving at home, it's just it is
Speaker 5: such a little thing that you take for granted when
Speaker 5: you live in the Midwest, but god, after like New
Speaker 5: York and San Francisco, it's just the biggest luxury.
Speaker 3: See, I've had it my whole life. I never made
Speaker 3: the move to a city, and I think it's too
Speaker 3: late for me now. I don't think I could possibly adjust.
Speaker 5: Mike, you goes Hollywood, that's the alternate parallel universe.
Speaker 2: I want to see Hollywood the grocery.
Speaker 4: Quirk in my area is that apparently, in like the
Speaker 4: seventies or eighties, I don't know the timeline, they tried
Speaker 4: to unionize grocery workers in northeast Ohio, and so Kroger
Speaker 4: left and never came back, and so it's like this
Speaker 4: weird pocket where there is no Kroger or Kroger owns
Speaker 4: that's interesting grocery store in any so, so we actually
Speaker 4: what we have are a bunch of little like weird
Speaker 4: grocery stores, like a place called Apples, and these ones
Speaker 4: that look like they are from the seventies and never
Speaker 4: updated because they didn't have the big mega conglomerate corporation
Speaker 4: forcing them to either out of business or to update.
Speaker 5: I think I saw in Apples. Wasn't that in the
Speaker 5: same parking lot as the Minati liquor store?
Speaker 2: Uh you? That was a Marx Marx. That's a Marx
Speaker 2: marxis Marxist.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, little bit of Mark Mars has that kind
Speaker 3: of I remember they opened a Marx here, and they
Speaker 3: opened it and they used this weird piss yellow paint everywhere,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, wow, this brand new grocery store looks
Speaker 3: like it's fifty years old and is covered in smokers store.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of like it.
Speaker 4: I go in and I'm like, I feel like I
Speaker 4: am in a completely different universe. I want to be
Speaker 4: in the universe where there is no Kroger.
Speaker 2: I live you.
Speaker 4: Uh you have Giant Eagles, Yes, Johnny Goes like the
Speaker 4: bigger chain, and then we have this.
Speaker 2: They're unionized. I know that, yes, yeah, And like.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of places like that are still here.
Speaker 4: Did actually end up doing that and a lot of
Speaker 4: Krogers now are unionized.
Speaker 2: When I worked at Kroger as a kid, like a
Speaker 2: fourteen year old.
Speaker 4: I was in a union. So I don't know why
Speaker 4: they don't just come back. But maybe they're like, we're
Speaker 4: not going to invest in that.
Speaker 2: They don't need them.
Speaker 3: Now we have Giant Eagle and uh, we have ruly
Speaker 3: brothers here. That's the Italian groceries.
Speaker 2: Literally like a week ago.
Speaker 4: Stuff's like, I miss Kroger. I hate Giant Eagle.
Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, wow, I don't. I don't have that
Speaker 2: strong opinions on it. I just go to people.
Speaker 3: Do people do have strong opinion about Giant Eagle because
Speaker 3: it's one of those few perk grocery stores right, so like,
Speaker 3: oh you get few perks at our gas stations, but
Speaker 3: of course they do that because everything's a little bit
Speaker 3: more expensive, so you're not really saving anything and make
Speaker 3: you go through steps. I still go to the Giant
Speaker 3: Eagle constantly because it is very close.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all. You might change it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a place called by right. Yeah we have
Speaker 4: drug marts. Truck is asking drug drug marts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a bunch of banding because all the
Speaker 3: Right aid's closed, so some of the drug marts are
Speaker 3: coming in to the old Right Aid territories.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Apparently Dollar General is the thing putting a lot of
Speaker 4: those pharmacies.
Speaker 5: I'm certain they were in Oklahoma. They were a lot
Speaker 5: of like grocery stores like d G Foods or something.
Speaker 5: Dollar General. We have cub Foods here. That's the big
Speaker 5: one here, no question for y'all.
Speaker 1: When you when you go grocery shopping, you you got
Speaker 1: to make multiple stops at different stores. You try and
Speaker 1: hit everything in the one everything I want.
Speaker 4: That's that is why I usually end up either going
Speaker 4: to Meyer or Giant Eagles, so I can just do
Speaker 4: it all in one.
Speaker 1: Why do you have to well, because like it's there's
Speaker 1: a really weird not turf war, but supply war here
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area. Gang war, right, Sharks and Jets, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Sharks Jets, and then maybe four other gangs when it
Speaker 1: comes to like the Asian grocery stores, Like there's a
Speaker 1: lot of loyalty over here. Sometimes I can't get everything
Speaker 1: I need at one that I got to go to
Speaker 1: another one.
Speaker 4: Uh interesting, Yes, yes, there's a there's a a shortage.
Speaker 1: This is only going to appeal to me and maybe
Speaker 1: a baby's handful of people in the audience. There's a
Speaker 1: shortage of fermented shrimp paste in they Why so I've
Speaker 1: been trying to go to every Asian grocery store in
Speaker 1: the area trying to find my fermented shrimp paste, and
Speaker 1: lo and behold, I'll always know where to find it
Speaker 1: because there will be like five six other Filipino people
Speaker 1: looking sad and dejected, arguing about like what.
Speaker 2: The fuck, why are we out?
Speaker 1: God damn it, and people trying to sell. This happened
Speaker 1: to me. I went to the East Bay, which is
Speaker 1: ways away from me, to look for some shrimp paste
Speaker 1: and hand.
Speaker 2: Them in a trunk.
Speaker 1: Yes, there was someone with a sign an old uncle
Speaker 1: missing teeth, chain smoking.
Speaker 2: Going like, hey, all right, shrimp pasted.
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, this man is yelling at me.
Speaker 2: It's not the color that I want.
Speaker 4: But okay, jan, if you have a fermented shrimp paste
Speaker 4: in your home right now?
Speaker 1: Yes, because I had to go through great lengths to
Speaker 1: find it.
Speaker 4: If if you make something, can I request can I
Speaker 4: do with some content begging and say, hey, would you
Speaker 4: make another one of those videos you made of you
Speaker 4: making food with the shrimp paste because I want to
Speaker 4: see what.
Speaker 1: That whole process with. Okay, all right, this is Mikey.
Speaker 1: This is the main usage for me is going to
Speaker 1: freak you out, all right, And I just want to
Speaker 1: give you a shrimp apple pie not far off from
Speaker 1: the truth. Oh yeah, we will take the shrimp paste
Speaker 1: and it's fermented shrimp past so it's been cooked with onions,
Speaker 1: garlic and tomates, and we will dip green mango into it.
Speaker 3: Had me with that weird paste thing and the dip
Speaker 3: sounded fine. They had to go and ruin it with
Speaker 3: a fruit.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Wow, you're so hateful, Mike. My god.
Speaker 1: Also, there's like a war brewing here of like I
Speaker 1: got into a cookie war. A couple of years ago
Speaker 1: because I I was buying all of the Uh, fuck
Speaker 1: up some girl scouts. No no, no, no, no no. I
Speaker 1: fucked up two Instagram businesses, is what I did. I No,
Speaker 1: there's no way this gets back to them.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fine.
Speaker 1: No, no, never mind. I bought too much to call
Speaker 1: your lawyer first, or I bought too much of an
Speaker 1: essential ingredient that this local cookie baker seller started sub
Speaker 1: tweeting me and sub posting me on Instagram. Uh. And
Speaker 1: the thing was they were saying I was ruining their
Speaker 1: livelihood when I was just baking cookies for friends. So
