It also doesn't answer what. 195 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:29.639 We were saying, which is we're saying it could contain calories, 196 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.120 but you would lose calories from the amount of energy 197 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.720 it takes for you to chew it and for you 198 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.879 to digest it, kind of like when you like eat 199 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.360 snow to stay hydrated, but it actually dehydrates you because 200 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.159 your body has to regulate that temperature. 201 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.639 I'm not a doctor, but I also just feel like 202 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.320 that much amount of cardboard in your stomach at once 203 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.639 would have many other negative side effects. 204 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:50.600 Who are you not a doctor, but one of the 205 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.600 people on this podcast is a fucking idiot. 206 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:58.360 Hang on, I'm educating myself free form fitness. The website says, uh, okay, 207 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.919 the cardboard diet cardboard is one hundred percent cellulose because 208 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.559 you don't have the enzyme required to digest it. Simply 209 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.639 moving it through your body would require more energy calories 210 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.200 than you'd get from the cardboard. 211 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:10.399 See, that's what we said. 212 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:16.440 That's what I said. You lowerl HDL, you'll lower vacation. 213 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.240 I cannot we said that to you. 214 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:21.480 No, check the table. 215 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.240 Is there a cardboard diet? Can't do that? 216 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.600 It's on this Personal Trainer website and they're talking about 217 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:29.000 but I think they're saying it's not good. 218 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.080 The Personal Trainer is just Timothy J. Turrey. 219 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.120 Just like the cardboard diet that may seem to work 220 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.080 in the early stages in terms of losing weight, it's 221 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.120 disguised by an unsustainable strategy to keeping the weight off 222 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.120 for good and living a healthy life. So it's not 223 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:44.399 eating cardboard is not a good long term. 224 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.679 Oh okay, good, Yeah, we cleared that up.

The salt 302 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.919 lowers the freezing point of water, so the water can 303 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.600 get below thirty two degrees fahrenheit without freezing, and then 304 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.240 you could put the bottle in it and it will 305 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.480 be way cool as down much faster. 306 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:19.960 Huh nice, look at us, we're all look, we're all 307 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:20.919 very smart. 308 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:22.480 What's that?

Yes, we said, Oh, I had 315 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:41.799 a fun time when I got on the wrong bullet 316 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.480 train and uh if I if there had not been 317 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:47.399 a stop coming up, I would have been stuck on 318 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.360 the wrong bullet train for like an hour and a half. 319 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.919 Which is quite the distance on a bullet. 320 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.279 Yes, that's a good chunk of the way across Japan. 321 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:57.559 So I'm. 322 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.600 Yeah, well, well it basically was because I had a 323 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.399 reserved seat on the bullet train. So I get on 324 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:06.240 the car and I look at it, like immediately leaves 325 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:08.360 the station and so it's moving and I noticed there's 326 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:09.919 a guy sitting in my seat and I'm like, okay, 327 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.120 hopefully he speaks English, Hopefully this is all okay. And 328 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.399 I pointed at the thing. I was like, oh, is 329 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.519 this mine? And he was like, I forgot how he 330 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.159 let me know, but basically it was clear I was 331 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.360 on the wrong train. Oh yeah, because he gave his 332 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.519 son had a Google Translate thing, and it was like, 333 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.200 you're on the wrong train. And so I'm just standing 334 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.039 there on the bullet train. There's like one hundred people 335 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.120 sitting there, yeah, hurdling across Japan at two hundred miles 336 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:35.000 an hour, standing and everyone's looking at me, and he's clear, 337 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:36.799 I'm the dumbass American. I got all my luggage and 338 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:37.279 stuff with me. 339 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.240 You could pass for Japanese, I think. 340 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.960 So I've heard that, thank you. Yeah. So it was 341 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.960 just like a hole back and forth, and I did 342 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.200 get to understanding where I needed to go before the 343 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.399 last opportunity to get off the train. So I got off, 344 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.600 got on the next one. It was fine. But that 345 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:55.799 bullet train's good as hell. Like Japan has a lot 346 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.679 of things just figured out, Like there's a lot of 347 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:02.240 good food. The transportation stuff, it's just it's a it's clean, 348 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.120 it's safe. It's just a chol fucking country. Yeah. I mean, 349 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.960 I guess I've only been in Tokyo and Kyoto, but man, 350 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.440 both super impressive, like really out of that place. I 351 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.120 flew into Tokyo and then took the train down to Kyoto. 352 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:16.799 Yeah coo so and yeah it get all sorts of 353 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:19.080 like fun little coffees and onigiri and stuff like that. 354 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:20.840 And you know, you get a Boss coffee. 355 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:22.480 Yeah, I get a couple of beers and then bring 356 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.600 it on the on the train. It was fantastic. Yeah, 357 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.039 I got I got Boss Boss was great and just 358 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.519 ate so much seven to eleven snack stuff while I 359 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.799 was out there. It was awesome. So but yeah, I 360 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.799 also went to the Nintendo Museum, which I wrote a 361 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.440 big thing on GameSpot dot com if you want to 362 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:39.759 read all the details. But long story short, it is fantastic. 363 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.080 It's open now to the public, so I'm curious to 364 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.320 see how it is for people going in with you know, 365 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.639 crowds and lines and stuff like that.

At the end of the advertising, 930 00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:44.760 there are thousands of men holding axe conviction and singing 931 00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:47.079 an a choir by a statue of a man also 932 00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:50.440 holding axe conviction. That just sounds sounds like the ever. 933 00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:54.000 Yeah, that sounds really bad. Well, I don't want to 934 00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:56.760 turn I don't if I turned a corner and saw 935 00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.519 a thousand men holding acts singing around a statue of 936 00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:02.000 another man with an axe. 937 00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:04.800 With axe that's that's why women need potato guns. 938 00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:08.880 We have to protect ourselves. 939 00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:11.800 Vice launched and instaid it will turn nice girl's naughty 940 00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:13.599 because there's forbidden fruit in the fragrance. 941 00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:18.280 We're bitten fruit. Yeah, you know, we can't deny it, 942 00:42:18.599 --> 00:42:22.960 just like Eve. We have to have that sweet, sweet fruit. 943 00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:26.119 The commercial for Vice used a Morgan Freeman lookalike. 944 00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:28.840 Couldn't get the real deal, could you? 945 00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:29.320 ACKs? Oh. 946 00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:33.480 Dark Temptation was a chocolate smelling fragrance. Advertising applies that 947 00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:36.360 because women like chocolate, they will find men who smell 948 00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:41.039 of chocolate. Irresistible god. Oh okay. Advertising features a man 949 00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:43.719 who turns into chocolate when he sprays himself with axe. 950 00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:46.039 He then goes on to be eaten by a series 951 00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:46.480 of women. 952 00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:47.480 Oh my god. 953 00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:50.960 Oh it doesn't elaborate. 954 00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:57.119 I'm just saying, like, in its defense, if a man 955 00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:00.760 turned into a bar of chocolate, I my etha, yeah, 956 00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:03.960 but understand the hot way. I would just consume them 957 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:05.239 like a praying mantis. 958 00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:12.519 Oh so score. The flavor was supposed to make men 959 00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.360 attractive to women and they'll need a oh wow. In 960 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:18.039 the States, they called it click because it says it'll 961 00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:19.880 make you so attracted women that they will need a 962 00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:22.239 clicker to keep score of the number of women who 963 00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.880 check them out. The commercial in the US featured nick 964 00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:29.519 Leche getting outscored by a hotel worker who uses it, 965 00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:33.880 but in the British version it's ben Affleck Acts gave 966 00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:37.159 away free clickers to count how many ladies find you 967 00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:39.800 irresistible because you were clicks? 968 00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:42.719 Was it like, was it done in an actual test 969 00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.360 environment science? 970 00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:47.440 I don't know, it was like a double blind study 971 00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:48.440 or yeah, I'm not sure. 972 00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:49.440 I don't think so. 973 00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:52.880 Man as is really a thing, wouldn't it. 974 00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:57.599 I don't understand why men's marketing has gone down such 975 00:43:57.639 --> 00:43:59.880 a path, why every set has to be called like 976 00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:04.360 concrete concubine, and about how like it's gonna you're just 977 00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:07.440 gonna get your dick sucked completely dry if you walk 978 00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:12.039 outside with this, because people can't can't believe how horny 979 00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:13.199 they get, because. 980 00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:16.079 Can't leave your driveway without getting your dick secked. You're 981 00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:24.480 selling your friends steps. You've seen Mary, You've seen the 982 00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:27.079 doctor Pepper ten commercial nut with my Internet. 983 00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:29.880 You laughed like a full six seconds after I said that. 984 00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:31.559 I was like, was that that bad of a joke? 985 00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:33.320 Well, it was a thinker joke. It took us that 986 00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:36.159 long to take at the joke. Yeah, it was. We 987 00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:38.079 didn't get it at first. Uh, Mary, have you seen 988 00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:39.239 the doctor Pepper ten commercial. 989 00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:40.800 I don't think so. 990 00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:43.400 I think that is the most egregious example I've ever seen. 991 00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:45.960 It was a ten Manly Calories because you know, they 992 00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:49.320 launched like Coke zero and zero branded stuff because men 993 00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:51.480 didn't want to be a diet that's for women. So 994 00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:53.880 that's why zero so does exist and so. But Doctor 995 00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:56.280 Pepper took it further. And this was like later than 996 00:44:56.280 --> 00:44:58.480 you would expect, like mid to late two thousands, I 997 00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:01.280 would say, And it was doct Pepper ten with ten 998 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:04.079 manly calories, and every ad was you know, some guy 999 00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:06.159 on a safari or going through the jungle or you know, 1000 00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:08.880 doing a weight living competition and he goes Doctor Pepper ten, 1001 00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:16.280 it's not for women. Not that aired in the States regularly. 1002 00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:19.880 Ten manly calories like cardboard. 1003 00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:24.440 I mean, ten Manly Calories is funny and cheeky. I 1004 00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:27.159 think there's something that we can all laugh about. But 1005 00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:29.199 the tagline not for women. 1006 00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:31.840 Yeah, it's at every commercial ended with someone looking at 1007 00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:33.559 the camera and saying it's not for women. 1008 00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:35.559 That's interesting. 1009 00:45:35.760 --> 00:45:39.159 I think obviously, like that's a bad ad, But what 1010 00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:43.159 it really says is more about the marketing prowess of 1011 00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:46.440 what it takes to market to men, right. I think 1012 00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:49.639 that that's the sadder story. It's not so much that 1013 00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:54.599 like Ax and Doctor Pepper have had these egregious taglines. 1014 00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:56.880 It's the fact that you know that these were tested 1015 00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:02.480 in groups, like you know, in in blind studies where 1016 00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:04.280 they would be like which ad makes you want to 1017 00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:06.559 buy a Doctor Pepper Moore, and men were like, you know, 1018 00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:10.000 the one that says it's not for women because I'm 1019 00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:12.639 also not a woman and I don't want to be drinking. 1020 00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:15.840 Women drink, And I think that's like what's stressful about it. 1021 00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:18.960 Taglines are weird and like they should be shamed a 1022 00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:21.280 little bit. But I think what's also strange is just 1023 00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:25.079 the reflection of society that men are like, I will 1024 00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:27.760 not wash my ass unless it says that it is 1025 00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:32.199 like the most rugged, manly, not woman thing. 1026 00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:34.960 That it possibly can. They've made lufahs that look. 1027 00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:39.400 Like tired because yeah, yeah rugged loofahs yeah. 1028 00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:42.400 Which we don't have a problem with here, We're fine. 1029 00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:45.840 It's in a generational thinguse I think of like my 1030 00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:49.320 dad and like everyone that he knows of his age 1031 00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:51.199 in Kansas. You know, there are the types that like, 1032 00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:53.000 you know, if I ordered a cocktail at a bar, 1033 00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:55.119 I'm just gonna be mocked by everyone, just like ooh, 1034 00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:58.320 got your cocktail, fancy little, you know, Like nowadays they 1035 00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:00.800 probably wouldn't say like that's actually probably would like, oh, 1036 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:03.519 that's a girl drink or whatever. But like that generation, 1037 00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:05.119 I feel like does that all the time. Or maybe 1038 00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:07.000 that's just the Midwest Kansas thing. I don't know. 1039 00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:09.639 I think that if you want to have a modern 1040 00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:13.679 ad about like loofahs and cleaning. 1041 00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:17.760 They should just call it the Paul Riker and it should. 1042 00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:20.840 Be an ad of your dad in Vegas having a 1043 00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:22.480 shit stain on his bed and. 1044 00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:25.920 Being like, crap, I can't have a girl over like this. 1045 00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:28.440 And then it just stops there and it's like, do 1046 00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:31.960 you leave shit stains on your bed? Well, wash your 1047 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:36.119 ass with the Pall Riker system. We will send you 1048 00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:38.960 one sponge and one bar of soap. Get in there, 1049 00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:41.239 and that's it. Like, I don't think you need all 1050 00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:44.199 these belts and whistles. Ye wash your butt. 1051 00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:47.079 I've told you his big, our big Thanksgiving argument.

It was a table full 1057 00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:58.079 of people being like, what are you talking about? Your 1058 00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:00.880 insane I'm like, oh, oh, everyone here's too good to 1059 00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:02.559 admit that we all have skid marks all the time. 1060 00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:05.639 It's like, no, we don't. 1061 00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:09.039 Yeah, the stuff he finds, the stuff he finds like 1062 00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:10.880 not masculine. It's very funny to me. 1063 00:48:11.679 --> 00:48:13.599 Well, yeah, because the thing is too he's not like, 1064 00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:16.679 you know, this super masculine like he would admit like 1065 00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:19.719 he is just a very uh like he'll pass out 1066 00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:21.159 if he has to get like you know, blood drawn 1067 00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:23.280 or something like that. He's very just like afraid of 1068 00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:26.480 pain and things like that. And you know, never fought anyone, 1069 00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:28.960 would be terrified if he had to. He's frequently scared. 1070 00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:31.599 And yet he's always like, oh, real man, I'm gonna 1071 00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:32.679 have a real man beer. I'm gonna have a real 1072 00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:33.119 man beery. 1073 00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:34.880 You think would be like a good marketing ploy. 1074 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:38.800 I feel like it would be like, uh, a mint 1075 00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:40.880 that looks like a cigarette butt. 1076 00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:42.000 And then then when you. 1077 00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:44.000 Put it in, it looks like you're eating a cigarette 1078 00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:46.320 butt because you're like a man, but it's actually making 1079 00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:48.199 your breath minty fresh. 1080 00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:53.599 He did think he was manly because he drank out 1081 00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:55.920 of a mountain do major mellon that he was using 1082 00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:59.360 as a cigarette ash thing. So he drank his cigarette 1083 00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:01.320 ashes and I was like, that's fucking disgusting, and he's like, 1084 00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:03.840 my body, my body's fortified from the ashes. 1085 00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:07.880 Man, body was fortified from the ashes. 1086 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:09.400 I think he just thought he was a man because 1087 00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:11.559 he drank cigarette ashes and he didn't care about it, 1088 00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:12.639 and I don't want about it. I'm a man. 1089 00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:16.119 My body wash for Paul Riker would be like made 1090 00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:19.239 in a gasoline tank a can, and it would he 1091 00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:22.960 would like pour the gas tank on himself. But it's 1092 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:26.440 actually just like a really nice smelling soap. 1093 00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:30.159 I think it's like a nice I'm guessing my dad 1094 00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:33.000 has not bought a thing for his shower that is 1095 00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:35.159 not I want to say he uses Irish spring. He 1096 00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:38.800 definitely uses Purtplus. I don't think he has ever bought 1097 00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:42.960 anything but Purtplus. In nineteen eighty eight, when I was showering, 1098 00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:45.119 it was purt plus If I look in his bathroom today, 1099 00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:48.280 it's purt plus, the same green ass bottle. It's only 1100 00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:50.840 purtplus all the time. I actually iris spring sounds too 1101 00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:52.800 fancy for him. It would be some like discount, like 1102 00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:56.760 super duper cheap thing here's good. But with him it's 1103 00:49:56.760 --> 00:49:59.039 always just the cheap does not matter. The quality does 1104 00:49:59.079 --> 00:49:59.639 not matter.

This writer cited Zema's perceived 1156 00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:27.320 reputation as a girly man beverage and it's persistent parodying 1157 00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:31.119 by late night TV host David Letterman.

That's try first leaf dot com slash fire Escape. 1292 00:58:42.920 --> 00:58:46.800 Try first leaf dot com slash fire Escape. You guys 1293 00:58:46.880 --> 00:58:49.440 talked about so many games. I actually I listened to 1294 00:58:49.599 --> 00:58:53.079 the last podcast because I didn't want to, like literally 1295 00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:55.559 talk about the same games two weeks in a row. 1296 00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:58.519 And I was amazed with how many games you guys covered. 1297 00:58:58.519 --> 00:59:00.000 I want to say it was over a dozen. 1298 00:59:00.639 --> 00:59:02.880 Yeah, I I was writing a money down for this week, 1299 00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:04.239 and I can't remember which one I talked. Did I 1300 00:59:04.239 --> 00:59:05.639 talk about UFO fifty last week? 1301 00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:06.559 You did? You did? 1302 00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:09.599 And so you guys were talking about Uh. I can 1303 00:59:09.639 --> 00:59:12.159 talk about this because I, yeah, I listened to it 1304 00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:15.400 and you were discussing it. But you also said, there's 1305 00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:17.480 like a part in UFO fifty where you get to 1306 00:59:17.480 --> 00:59:20.199 a point and like everything changes, and then it was 1307 00:59:20.320 --> 00:59:23.280 very important that you like didn't give away any of 1308 00:59:23.280 --> 00:59:25.480 the secrets because a part of the value of UFO 1309 00:59:25.599 --> 00:59:27.920 fifty is that like something weird happens or I don't 1310 00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:28.280 really know. 1311 00:59:28.519 --> 00:59:31.039 So you're saying, there seems like there's a meta layer 1312 00:59:31.199 --> 00:59:33.400 of a story. Yeah, it's hinting at but you haven't 1313 00:59:33.400 --> 00:59:34.159 figured it out yet. 1314 00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:35.960 Oh and yeah, there's the terminal thing, but I still 1315 00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:36.920 have no idea what that is. 1316 00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:39.519 And I don't want to know, but I am curious. 1317 00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:43.960 Like updated if like more games are of genuine value 1318 00:59:44.159 --> 00:59:46.760 or if they still have a lot of that superficial 1319 00:59:46.840 --> 00:59:49.960 nostalgic value which is still cool but not really a 1320 00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:50.880 selling point for me. 1321 00:59:50.960 --> 00:59:53.239 Yeah, yeah, bring up. We can talk about it again. 1322 00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:54.880 Yeah, I'm literally asking you right now. 1323 00:59:54.920 --> 01:00:04.000 We're back on the podcast. Put on the podcast. Like seconds, 1324 01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:05.440 I thought we were just shooting the ship. 1325 01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:07.199 All right, we are just shooting the ship. 1326 01:00:07.199 --> 01:00:10.000 That's what this game, and usually Mike brings it back. 1327 01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:10.960 I was thrown off. 1328 01:00:11.239 --> 01:00:15.239 Nice goodness, it was good of her to host and 1329 01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:17.559 kind of thank you slip in there when I didn't 1330 01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:17.920 ask her to. 1331 01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:20.480 But now it's fine, right, keep it up. You better, 1332 01:00:20.639 --> 01:00:22.119 you better keep on your good stuff. 1333 01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:24.760 So damn you're safty, you said another. 1334 01:00:26.079 --> 01:00:28.679 I've been talking a lot about this metal Layer. Yeah, no, 1335 01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:31.320 I have no idea what touck the metal layers. Yeah, 1336 01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:35.280 there are numerous games that have value just as their 1337 01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:37.559 own thing that like is not based on like, oh, 1338 01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:39.440 this reminds me of you know, metro Eater, or this 1339 01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:42.079 reminds me of this thing or whatever. What's the one? 1340 01:00:42.119 --> 01:00:45.440 I sorted this pilot Quest, which it's so cool to 1341 01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:49.559 take like concepts that you see in games today and 1342 01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:52.519 apply them to games that seem like they were made 1343 01:00:52.519 --> 01:00:55.480 in the eighties. So like there's like clicker and idle 1344 01:00:55.960 --> 01:00:59.039 mechanics in this pilot Quest game, and you're basically going 1345 01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:01.199 on runs to get sources and stuff, and you were 1346 01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:03.079 buying these things back at like your home base that 1347 01:01:03.119 --> 01:01:06.239 it's like idly will make you currency and stuff like that, 1348 01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:08.079 which that wasn't really a thing you saw a lot 1349 01:01:08.119 --> 01:01:10.880 back then. So it's so interesting to see modern mechanics 1350 01:01:10.920 --> 01:01:14.960 in a very legitimately old feeling game. And yeah, like 1351 01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:17.159 that Mortal game, I camera if I talked about that 1352 01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:21.280 last time. But really cool concepts that are unlike anything 1353 01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:23.639 that you know. There are the ones that remind me 1354 01:01:23.679 --> 01:01:24.920 of like, oh, I remember this is like when I 1355 01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:27.880 rented this Nis game at Blockbuster or whatever. But then 1356 01:01:27.880 --> 01:01:30.039 there's a lot where it's like this is cool because 1357 01:01:30.559 --> 01:01:32.760 it's like I'm getting a glimpse into an alternate history 1358 01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:35.199 where games like this were made back then when they 1359 01:01:35.199 --> 01:01:37.920 really weren't. I still have a ton to play. I 1360 01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:39.559 mean I think I've only played like fifteen to twenty 1361 01:01:39.559 --> 01:01:42.159 of them, but a lot of them, Like some of them, 1362 01:01:42.199 --> 01:01:44.239 I will play like once or twice and be like, 1363 01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:46.760 all right, I get what this one's doing. I don't 1364 01:01:46.760 --> 01:01:48.480 need to keep playing this one. And then some of 1365 01:01:48.519 --> 01:01:50.239 them I will stay on for a while and be like, 1366 01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:51.519 oh I really like what this is doing. I want 1367 01:01:51.519 --> 01:01:52.360 to see how far I can get. 1368 01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:53.559 So it's your favorite one so far. 1369 01:01:56.039 --> 01:01:58.360 Mortal is really cool. The Pilot Quest is really cool. 1370 01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:03.960 Paint Chases fun. Yeah, like a bunch of our two players, Well, 1371 01:02:05.119 --> 01:02:07.079 paint chase, You're like a car and it's like a 1372 01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:10.039 pac Man grid And imagine like again like modern like 1373 01:02:10.079 --> 01:02:13.480 it makes me think of Splittoon the way you have 1374 01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:16.000 a certain amount of time, and your car basically has 1375 01:02:16.039 --> 01:02:18.079 like a paint roller behind it or whatever. So like 1376 01:02:18.119 --> 01:02:20.239 as you race around this pac Man maze, you are 1377 01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:23.519 painting the track like blue. And at the end, so 1378 01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:25.119 at the level started, it'll be like you have to 1379 01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:27.719 get fifty percent of the level cleared here. So you're 1380 01:02:27.760 --> 01:02:30.400 painting over this, but your enemy car is going around 1381 01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:33.199 or cars are going around painting and pink, and so 1382 01:02:33.239 --> 01:02:35.440 you're trying to like take out the other cars and 1383 01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:38.079 paint over their stuff, and they're trying to paint over yours. 1384 01:02:38.119 --> 01:02:41.519 And it's really clever idea. And again it seems like 1385 01:02:41.559 --> 01:02:43.199 it looks like a game that would have come out 1386 01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:45.599 back then, but I can't think of one that was 1387 01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:48.039 quite like that. So there's a lot of examples of 1388 01:02:48.039 --> 01:02:50.679 stuff like that. So yeah, really really cool. It's an 1389 01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:54.639 ideal Steam deck game that the flights to and from Japan. 1390 01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:55.119 Uh. 1391 01:02:55.280 --> 01:02:57.480 It was awesome having that on the same deck. Played 1392 01:02:57.519 --> 01:02:59.559 a ton of it and then we'll talk about it later. 1393 01:02:59.760 --> 01:03:01.559 I had Zelda on the way back. It unlocked like 1394 01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:04.639 an hour. I was at the airport when Zelda unlocked, 1395 01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:06.119 and so I was like, oh my god, a new 1396 01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:07.599 fucking Zelda game and I'm about to be on a 1397 01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:09.360 plane for eleven hours. That kicks ass. 1398 01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:11.599 So let's talk about it. Now, what's the new Zelda? 1399 01:03:11.719 --> 01:03:13.719 Like, let's do it? Well, are we doing the podcast now? 1400 01:03:14.159 --> 01:03:17.119 Oh yeah, we're on oh ship, we're on the air. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah. 1401 01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:18.880 Do you want to start? Sure? 1402 01:03:19.599 --> 01:03:21.199 Well you're here though, so you bring us in from 1403 01:03:21.199 --> 01:03:22.199 break eh. 1404 01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:26.079 Legend of Zeldo Wisdom. 1405 01:03:26.559 --> 01:03:27.960 This isn't a shoot. 1406 01:03:27.800 --> 01:03:34.039 Legend levels of Zeldo. Uh, ed Joes of Wisdom is out. 1407 01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:36.400 I'm on, I've done three dungeons. 1408 01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:39.239 Uh so were you passed hyrol Castle? 1409 01:03:40.239 --> 01:03:43.000 No? I did Grudo and I did the I don't 1410 01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:45.000 want to spoil the name of the dungeon from the 1411 01:03:45.679 --> 01:03:47.000 water area at the beginning. 1412 01:03:47.039 --> 01:03:48.679 I'm still pretty do them out of order. 1413 01:03:49.519 --> 01:03:52.039 You can do the first you can do that well, 1414 01:03:52.639 --> 01:03:54.800 I mean the first. The first part is also kind 1415 01:03:54.840 --> 01:03:56.199 of technically an intro dungeon. 1416 01:03:56.920 --> 01:03:59.000 Oh sure, okay, so I know where you're at. Yeah, 1417 01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:01.840 married to answer your question, and it's it'll show you 1418 01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:04.599 like these two dungeons and it's like you can go 1419 01:04:04.639 --> 01:04:07.079 to either one of these, so you can do those 1420 01:04:07.079 --> 01:04:09.320 in whatever order. And then there is a part where 1421 01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:12.320 Mike is about to get to where it opens up 1422 01:04:12.679 --> 01:04:13.639 quite a bit more same. 1423 01:04:13.760 --> 01:04:15.679 Yea, so it's like link between worlds, et cetera. 1424 01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:17.800 Yes, and that's where I really started liking it. 1425 01:04:18.199 --> 01:04:21.599 Yeah, I'm really enjoying it, I guess for those who 1426 01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:25.159 don't know, it's like, first off, it's a full fledged 1427 01:04:25.519 --> 01:04:28.960 Zelda game. I know it was getting shit early, which 1428 01:04:29.199 --> 01:04:31.039 I don't even want to, you know, breathe oxygen on that. 1429 01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:33.079 But yeah, I mean I'm hearing some people are taking 1430 01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:35.119 like twenty five hours doing all the side content, of 1431 01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:40.639 which there's a lot. The main conceit is you're playing 1432 01:04:40.679 --> 01:04:44.719 at Zelda and you basically are collecting echoes, which are 1433 01:04:44.800 --> 01:04:48.840 just basically items, enemies, allies you can summon at will 1434 01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:54.719 based on your energy level from try your companion like 1435 01:04:54.719 --> 01:04:59.719 your fairy companion. There are actually several layers to the abilities, 1436 01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:01.800 which I think is really cool. I want to talk 1437 01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:06.320 about that, but yeah, generally speaking, it's you're rarely engaging 1438 01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:08.960 in like hand to hand combat, although you are. 1439 01:05:08.920 --> 01:05:11.079 Because there is a burst of it. Yeah. 1440 01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:15.159 Yeah. You basically can raise the Hero's sword and become 1441 01:05:15.360 --> 01:05:18.480 like a phantom link for a little bit during Boss fights, 1442 01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:20.519 or just if you have an enemy that your allies 1443 01:05:20.639 --> 01:05:23.199 or your echoes are not doing too much damage against, 1444 01:05:23.719 --> 01:05:29.320 but really clever dungeon design. I there are a decent 1445 01:05:29.400 --> 01:05:34.320 number of frustrations. I'm playing on a launch switch. I 1446 01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:36.480 don't know how much that matters, but the frame rate 1447 01:05:36.559 --> 01:05:37.199 is not great. 1448 01:05:38.239 --> 01:05:40.760 It's very inconsistent. It is, and it does in a 1449 01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:43.559 weird way where it's like remember the Links Awakening remake, 1450 01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:45.400 it would just be like, Okay, if I'm outside there's 1451 01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:47.559 a bunch of grass or whatever, it'll slow down here. 1452 01:05:47.639 --> 01:05:49.840 It's like it will just kind of like shift for 1453 01:05:49.880 --> 01:05:51.960 like a second and then go back. And it's not 1454 01:05:52.119 --> 01:05:54.760 as dependent on you know, because you can spawn a 1455 01:05:54.800 --> 01:05:57.159 lot of enemies and stuff like that, so there can 1456 01:05:57.159 --> 01:05:58.920 be a lot of stuff happening on screen. So the 1457 01:05:58.920 --> 01:06:01.159 the times that it shipped, frame rates and stuff is 1458 01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:04.880 more frequent. I feel like I notice it less when 1459 01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:06.840 it's docked when I'm playing on the on the TV. 1460 01:06:07.920 --> 01:06:09.760 When I'm playing handheld, I notice it more. But I 1461 01:06:09.800 --> 01:06:11.199 have it on an old so I don't know if 1462 01:06:11.239 --> 01:06:14.039 the launch is worse in that regard, but it is noticeable. 1463 01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:16.280 It's not like ruining my enjoyment of it or anything 1464 01:06:16.320 --> 01:06:18.119 like that, but it is definitely a noticeable thing. 1465 01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:21.079 Yeah. Then there's also like a third layer where try. 1466 01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:23.960 I keep wanting to say tree, but I think it's try. 1467 01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:25.480 Because it's a triforce. 1468 01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:29.159 Yeah, yeah, triforce, but it's fee in skywrid sword, so 1469 01:06:29.199 --> 01:06:33.239 I don't know. You can also bind with objects and 1470 01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:36.039 it's got a similar green glow to like zone I abilities, 1471 01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:40.039 and then those basically whatever distance you're at, you can 1472 01:06:40.079 --> 01:06:42.360 move and then it'll pull like giant boulders at the 1473 01:06:42.360 --> 01:06:44.079 same distance. You can do a bunch with that. You 1474 01:06:44.079 --> 01:06:46.079 can do it with like statues and one not too. 1475 01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:49.000 Or you can hold R while you're binded to something 1476 01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:53.159 and then link or Zelda will follow that thing. So 1477 01:06:53.559 --> 01:06:56.360 for instance, yeah, so Greub told me about this and 1478 01:06:56.360 --> 01:06:58.519 I tried it today and it's awesome. So you can 1479 01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:01.719 break this game in weird way? Is that like typically 1480 01:07:01.719 --> 01:07:03.519 you can't do and Zelda games. So like, there are 1481 01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:05.440 areas of the map that like, okay, it's supposed to 1482 01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:08.239 be not necessarily a place you get to until you 1483 01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:10.199 get this item or whatever, but you can break it 1484 01:07:10.199 --> 01:07:12.199 in ways where it's like, let's say, at this point, 1485 01:07:12.239 --> 01:07:16.239 I can summon like a grilled fish. And so let's 1486 01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:20.039 say I summon a bird and I bind myself to 1487 01:07:20.079 --> 01:07:24.239 the bird, and then I summon fish grilled fish, and 1488 01:07:24.280 --> 01:07:26.960 I hold it on my head like above my head, 1489 01:07:27.199 --> 01:07:29.719 and I hold an r to bind myself to that bird. 1490 01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:34.000 The bird will constantly be flying towards the fish, but 1491 01:07:34.119 --> 01:07:36.639 since I'm holding it, it stays at the same thing. 1492 01:07:36.679 --> 01:07:39.159 So you just start flying with the bird. You can 1493 01:07:39.159 --> 01:07:42.239 fly across the entire map with a bird by just 1494 01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:45.360 holding a fish. It's like weird shit like that. That 1495 01:07:45.480 --> 01:07:47.760 is like, oh, this is kind of awesome, like it. 1496 01:07:47.760 --> 01:07:51.079 Hey, yeah, that seems intentional, like they saw this coming. 1497 01:07:51.239 --> 01:07:53.639 It doesn't seem like they shied away from it or 1498 01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:55.960 like I don't think it was necessarily like it's not 1499 01:07:56.079 --> 01:07:58.000 oh here's the part where you do that, but it 1500 01:07:58.159 --> 01:08:01.039 definitely seems like it encourages you to to experiment because 1501 01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:05.599 nothing ever breaks. Really, it's just like it it works. 1502 01:08:05.599 --> 01:08:07.119 It's not like, oh, I got to this area and 1503 01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:09.039 everything's broken. I can't get into this dungeon or anything. 1504 01:08:09.039 --> 01:08:10.599 It's just like, oh shit, I'm over here now. I 1505 01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:11.840 don't know if I was supposed to be here yet, 1506 01:08:11.880 --> 01:08:13.440 but that fucking bird took me here. 1507 01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:16.920 Yeah, there are generally numerous solutions to any puzzle, even 1508 01:08:16.960 --> 01:08:19.720 like the ways you fight different bosses there. I saw 1509 01:08:19.800 --> 01:08:22.640 several viable options. It feels it's kind of cool how 1510 01:08:22.640 --> 01:08:25.319 it is kind of carrying forward the tiers of the 1511 01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:28.520 Kingdom willingness to let players break the game, even though 1512 01:08:28.560 --> 01:08:32.199 it is more like links awakening, remake, link between worlds, 1513 01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:36.560 kind of top down view and world structure. But yeah, 1514 01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:40.239 I'm really enjoying that, and also just finding solutions or 1515 01:08:40.319 --> 01:08:44.119 just platforming things that you get in certain habits and 1516 01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:49.399 summoning like okay, box table box or box, shrubbery table, trampoline, whatever, 1517 01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:51.840 And later on I'm like, oh my god, I could 1518 01:08:51.840 --> 01:08:53.600 have just been doing this the whole time. This was 1519 01:08:53.600 --> 01:08:55.720 way easier. That happens a lot in this game. 1520 01:08:56.119 --> 01:08:58.319 Or you get something that just renders it completely obsolete, 1521 01:08:58.319 --> 01:08:59.880 where it's like, oh, I got this water cube. Now 1522 01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:02.359 I've never making a single leather trampoline, you know. The 1523 01:09:02.359 --> 01:09:05.119 water king Street actually added a couple added a couple 1524 01:09:05.159 --> 01:09:07.520 categories for Game of the Year where best echoes, so 1525 01:09:07.560 --> 01:09:09.359 if if you guys are playing through it, to think 1526 01:09:09.359 --> 01:09:12.239 of your favorite echoes and also under coolest dude, that 1527 01:09:12.279 --> 01:09:16.640 category we've done before. First nominee, I put stamp guy guy. 1528 01:09:16.720 --> 01:09:18.880 Amanda's but yes, I might him in the seaside village. 1529 01:09:18.880 --> 01:09:22.000 Amanda's just watching me and she's like, this guy sucks. 1530 01:09:22.039 --> 01:09:23.159 Go find him somewhere else. 1531 01:09:23.199 --> 01:09:25.560 Like, yeah, no, he is so horny for stamps. It 1532 01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:27.920 is incredible. Yeah, I'm just gonna pluck it right down. 1533 01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:33.560 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he's the fucking amped. I will say that. 1534 01:09:34.239 --> 01:09:36.119 For as often as they find echoes, I'm like, oh, 1535 01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:39.560 this is awesome. Like, I remember I just found the cormadillo. 1536 01:09:39.720 --> 01:09:42.119 It's an armadillo you just spawned. He rolls forward and 1537 01:09:42.119 --> 01:09:45.319 it's like a projectile. There are a lot that I'm like, 1538 01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:47.520 what the fuck is this? How is this useful? Like 1539 01:09:48.840 --> 01:09:51.079 it's entirely possible that I'm just not using them in 1540 01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:52.720 the right situation. But I remember I got like the 1541 01:09:52.800 --> 01:09:56.640 dragon the wasp, and yeah, the description says it finds 1542 01:09:56.880 --> 01:09:59.600 the right that it has it skilled at finding the 1543 01:09:59.600 --> 01:10:03.079 perfect time to strike, and I summon them and the 1544 01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:05.479 wind up for their stingers. Yes, so long they never 1545 01:10:05.600 --> 01:10:06.279 land a hit. 1546 01:10:06.399 --> 01:10:07.760 And then a lot of them are like that, the 1547 01:10:08.000 --> 01:10:10.119 spear of goblins, the birds, A lot of them have 1548 01:10:10.199 --> 01:10:12.199 that just like animation of like okay, I'm locked in 1549 01:10:12.199 --> 01:10:14.199 and then the enemy moves and like fuck yeah. 1550 01:10:14.359 --> 01:10:17.880 And just as also, the path finding for your minions 1551 01:10:17.960 --> 01:10:20.079 kind of sucks sometimes when they get caught on walls. 1552 01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:24.600 It's it's it gets frustrating sometimes. And also I can 1553 01:10:24.600 --> 01:10:26.960 get caught on corners and whatnot when like a minion 1554 01:10:27.039 --> 01:10:29.399 is forcing me into it, but that's rare. 1555 01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:32.640 There's an amount of directing you can do where it's 1556 01:10:32.640 --> 01:10:34.319 like if you lock on to an enemy or an 1557 01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:36.920 object or something that tells all of your echoes to 1558 01:10:37.000 --> 01:10:39.000 go towards it, so you can basically like direct them. 1559 01:10:39.199 --> 01:10:42.920 It's very light and honestly, like it's not a perfect system, 1560 01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:46.239 but because of how interesting it is and how it 1561 01:10:46.279 --> 01:10:49.800 really does change the game, I'm willing to put up with. Like, Okay, 1562 01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:52.880 this stuff doesn't always work perfectly, but the amount of 1563 01:10:52.920 --> 01:10:55.119 freedom of grants you is worth the trade off. I 1564 01:10:55.119 --> 01:10:57.239 think it's almost like a scribble noots type thing. I'm 1565 01:10:57.279 --> 01:11:00.279 just like, oh, what's a fun weird way I wonder 1566 01:11:00.279 --> 01:11:02.159 if I can beat this using this thing or whatever. 1567 01:11:02.359 --> 01:11:04.680 You know, you feel like you're the one finding the 1568 01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:07.439 solutions versus like, oh, this is the wall that I 1569 01:11:07.479 --> 01:11:09.159 have to use this bomb for or press the switch 1570 01:11:09.239 --> 01:11:12.039 or something. You know, it's but you're right, it is 1571 01:11:12.039 --> 01:11:14.279 a It's a full on Zelda game. It is. I 1572 01:11:14.279 --> 01:11:16.319 didn't know what to expect when they announced it, because 1573 01:11:16.319 --> 01:11:18.760 you know, they've been Triforce heroes, they've been Four Swords adventures, 1574 01:11:18.800 --> 01:11:20.560 you know, things with the Zelda name that were not 1575 01:11:21.079 --> 01:11:24.520 full fledged Zelda games. This is one hundred percent and Mike, 1576 01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:26.319 you're not even at Like there is a part where 1577 01:11:26.319 --> 01:11:29.600 you go to Hydro Castle, and then after that it 1578 01:11:29.640 --> 01:11:31.560 does feel like I've been exploring the entire map and 1579 01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:34.159 there's way more side quest, way more things going on, 1580 01:11:34.680 --> 01:11:37.319 and that I was liking it before. I think it 1581 01:11:37.359 --> 01:11:40.159 was like probably sitting around at eight for me until 1582 01:11:40.199 --> 01:11:42.800 like after hiro Castle, and then it's like, oh, this 1583 01:11:42.920 --> 01:11:44.439 really opened up an out of a bunch of stuff. 1584 01:11:44.479 --> 01:11:46.720 Like I think I'm probably around like a nine now. Yeah. 1585 01:11:46.760 --> 01:11:48.720 Did you finish it on the flight? 1586 01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:53.359 No? No, I I played maybe three or four hours 1587 01:11:53.399 --> 01:11:55.720 on the flight and then try to sleep at times. 1588 01:11:56.199 --> 01:11:59.399 You know, quick aside, Have you guys seen No Hard 1589 01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:03.960 Feelings the Jennifer Lawrence movie. Yes, it's really funny. 1590 01:12:03.640 --> 01:12:05.680 Yeah, yeah, it's really funny. Did you watch it on 1591 01:12:05.720 --> 01:12:07.880 a plane. Yeah, that's unfortunate. 1592 01:12:08.239 --> 01:12:09.159 You missed the start. 1593 01:12:09.720 --> 01:12:13.239 I was watching in my X real like ar glasses, 1594 01:12:13.520 --> 01:12:15.159 so no one else can see it but me.

You saw it through the plane. 1603 01:12:36.159 --> 01:12:37.920 Like No. I saw it through my glasses. 1604 01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:39.680 Sure, but like. 1605 01:12:41.079 --> 01:12:42.399 I see all movies through my glasses. 1606 01:12:42.439 --> 01:12:45.479 But the plane version, No. 1607 01:12:45.680 --> 01:12:48.520 I downloaded it to uh the X reel, Like it's 1608 01:12:48.560 --> 01:12:51.000 like this this beam pro thing that you can download 1609 01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:52.560 movies too. So I logged into my Netflix account and 1610 01:12:52.600 --> 01:12:53.399 dowloaded a bunch of movies. 1611 01:12:53.399 --> 01:12:56.079 Okay, so it was your Netflix.

And obviously it is a cheeky film. It's good, 1630 01:13:43.479 --> 01:13:46.079 like people should it's a stupid rom com like it's 1631 01:13:46.439 --> 01:13:51.560 it's enjoyable, like I recommend it. But dear ward, there's 1632 01:13:51.640 --> 01:13:55.239 this scene where people steal her clothes. 1633 01:13:55.279 --> 01:13:56.560 She's going swimming in the ocean. 1634 01:13:56.680 --> 01:13:57.479 Oh yeah, and these. 1635 01:13:57.359 --> 01:14:00.880 Boys steal her clothes and she comes out of the 1636 01:14:00.920 --> 01:14:03.319 ocean and this is in the distance in the background, 1637 01:14:03.560 --> 01:14:07.520 and so she's very clearly completely naked walking from the 1638 01:14:07.560 --> 01:14:10.119 ocean towards the camera. And this is the part where 1639 01:14:10.159 --> 01:14:14.359 anyone watching the film would go, that's really funny. They're 1640 01:14:14.399 --> 01:14:17.039 obviously going to cut away at some point. Oh, and 1641 01:14:17.079 --> 01:14:21.960 they just don't. And she just slowly with nothing on, 1642 01:14:22.520 --> 01:14:26.159 walks completely into the scene and starts kicking them in 1643 01:14:26.199 --> 01:14:30.680 the balls and then suit flexing them, and you see everything, 1644 01:14:30.760 --> 01:14:33.000 and they do not blur it or cut away. It 1645 01:14:33.119 --> 01:14:35.079 is not a cut of her boobies. It is a 1646 01:14:35.159 --> 01:14:37.560 cut of the entire body. 1647 01:14:37.680 --> 01:14:38.760 It's nuts. 1648 01:14:39.039 --> 01:14:41.119 I cannot believe they got away with it in Our 1649 01:14:41.199 --> 01:14:45.279 Lord twenty twenty four. It is just it is just incredible. 1650 01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:47.760 They like Jesus, she looks great, it's great. 1651 01:14:48.439 --> 01:14:50.760 That is so interesting that like the blur if you 1652 01:14:50.800 --> 01:14:52.439 saw it on Netflix and it wasn't blurred and I did, 1653 01:14:52.520 --> 01:14:53.239 like I say. 1654 01:14:54.560 --> 01:14:58.600 No, I remember saying for Lawrence VI Jay, that is 1655 01:14:58.680 --> 01:15:01.479 not that was not boobs scene. The fact that you 1656 01:15:01.520 --> 01:15:03.920 would say like, oh yeah, I saw the boobs, It's like, 1657 01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:07.239 you stupid bitch, that is not what we're discussing. 1658 01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:10.039 Well, I've only seen I saw that first, like Hunger 1659 01:15:10.079 --> 01:15:12.279 Games movie forever ago. I think that's the only time 1660 01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:15.079 I've seen Jennifer Lawrence anything. She's fucking hilarious in that movie. 1661 01:15:15.119 --> 01:15:18.000 Like I was like laughing, I'm stifling laughing out loud 1662 01:15:18.039 --> 01:15:20.239 on a plane several times during that movie. I was so. 1663 01:15:20.159 --> 01:15:21.319 Impressive a good actress. 1664 01:15:21.439 --> 01:15:24.279 She's a good actress, and she's very good in that film. 1665 01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:27.239 Yeah, I think it's a I mean for rom com. 1666 01:15:27.520 --> 01:15:29.359 I always like to give it that preface because rom 1667 01:15:29.399 --> 01:15:32.399 coms have like a lower tier for me, where it's 1668 01:15:32.439 --> 01:15:36.760 just like it's stupid, it's unrealistic, it's ridiculous, and like 1669 01:15:37.039 --> 01:15:39.880 makes leaps of faith, but it's enjoyable and you will 1670 01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:43.239 laugh a lot during the film, Like I enjoyed watching it. 1671 01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:45.159 Yeah, it reminded me of like I guess I didn't 1672 01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:46.760 really think about it being a rom com. I guess 1673 01:15:46.800 --> 01:15:49.199 it is. I was. It felt like like a super Bad, 1674 01:15:49.319 --> 01:15:51.640 like that vibe of like R rated comedy. 1675 01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:52.880 You know, I appreciate that. 1676 01:15:52.960 --> 01:15:55.359 I think like a lot of times I relegate those 1677 01:15:55.439 --> 01:15:58.319 to like Failure to Launch or like how to Lose 1678 01:15:58.359 --> 01:16:00.840 a Guy in ten Days. They are fun, but they're 1679 01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:04.000 also like about feelings and about boys being like why 1680 01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:07.520 can't I get girl? And that just isn't at the 1681 01:16:07.640 --> 01:16:11.039 level of super Bad, which is also in many ways 1682 01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:12.960 a rom com just about two dudes. 1683 01:16:13.359 --> 01:16:15.199 God, I haven't seen I wonder how that's aged I 1684 01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:17.399 remember thinking it was there was a point where Apatow 1685 01:16:17.640 --> 01:16:20.319 was like between that and forty year old Virgin, Like 1686 01:16:20.319 --> 01:16:22.760 Appataw was just killing with stuff, and I remember funny people. 1687 01:16:22.960 --> 01:16:24.680 I downloaded that too. I haven't watched yet because I 1688 01:16:24.680 --> 01:16:25.319 haven't seen that. 1689 01:16:26.479 --> 01:16:30.680 I would say Superbad is about two high schoolers who 1690 01:16:30.720 --> 01:16:32.960 want it to be a rom com, but it's a 1691 01:16:33.000 --> 01:16:35.399 comedy and it's just like shitting on them the whole time. 1692 01:16:35.720 --> 01:16:37.840 Last I checked, it has held up. There's definitely some 1693 01:16:37.920 --> 01:16:42.079 like homophobic stuff, but yeah, it's not like pervasive throughout 1694 01:16:42.079 --> 01:16:42.600 the movie. 1695 01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:46.399 Sure it's not for women, but I think BookSmart is 1696 01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:49.720 like really holds up and it's a very good version 1697 01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:50.000 of it. 1698 01:16:50.039 --> 01:16:52.279 That was like I think I was during the movie 1699 01:16:52.319 --> 01:16:54.319 past Ero, wasn't it. I think I remember saying that 1700 01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:55.760 in New York. Yeah. 1701 01:16:55.800 --> 01:16:59.079 And then while I'm mad at because we're talking about this, 1702 01:16:59.199 --> 01:17:01.159 I have to look it up.

I still like comedies 1779 01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:51.760 where it's like you don't really need surround sound and 1780 01:20:51.840 --> 01:20:55.039 giant TV and all that stuff, you know, just lighthearted, 1781 01:20:55.119 --> 01:20:57.880 plain stuff like I like that a lot.

Let me read. 1788 01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:18.439 Mike Drucker did some tweets about it. He saught. He said, 1789 01:21:18.760 --> 01:21:22.560 Megalopolis feels like cutscenes you'd see if Hideo Kajima made 1790 01:21:22.640 --> 01:21:26.000 Sim City. And he said, if I told you Hadeo 1791 01:21:26.039 --> 01:21:29.159 Kajima made a city building game where Aubrey Plaza plays 1792 01:21:29.159 --> 01:21:33.600 a financial media celebrity named Wow Platinum, you'd be like, yeah, 1793 01:21:33.640 --> 01:21:35.760 that sounds great. Well, I've got good news for you. 1794 01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:39.880 So I've seen the trailer. I heard that there's a 1795 01:21:39.920 --> 01:21:42.039 part where Adam Driver breaks the fourth wall and talks 1796 01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:45.079 to someone in the theater that asks a question like weird. 1797 01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:47.920 It just sounds and it's a completely empty theater.

But the thing is they 1828 01:23:13.119 --> 01:23:15.279 made up all the quotes. So it's like, well, you 1829 01:23:15.399 --> 01:23:17.199 kind of lose some of the impact when you made 1830 01:23:17.279 --> 01:23:18.319 up and they pulled the trailer. 1831 01:23:18.920 --> 01:23:21.680 I heard about that. Didn't they use AI to make 1832 01:23:21.760 --> 01:23:22.039 up those? 1833 01:23:22.239 --> 01:23:22.600 Did they? 1834 01:23:23.079 --> 01:23:23.319 Yeah? 1835 01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:25.199 And I think they got a lot of shit for 1836 01:23:25.279 --> 01:23:30.119 that too, because they used real names. The reviewed names 1837 01:23:30.159 --> 01:23:32.159 are real, but the wow fake. 1838 01:23:32.279 --> 01:23:35.239 And so then the reviewers, or at least the companies 1839 01:23:35.439 --> 01:23:38.560 that were beholden to those review names, were like, that's 1840 01:23:38.680 --> 01:23:40.079 bullshit that you would do that. 1841 01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:42.640 That's really weird. Okay. 1842 01:23:42.840 --> 01:23:45.239 They were like saying, like varieties. 1843 01:23:45.159 --> 01:23:47.760 Yeah, they had the name of the reviewer. Yeah, but 1844 01:23:47.920 --> 01:23:48.560 it's a fake. 1845 01:23:48.920 --> 01:23:49.920 We're gonna get found out. 1846 01:23:50.680 --> 01:23:53.319 Yeah, and they got I heard about that too. That 1847 01:23:53.399 --> 01:23:58.399 was a huge controversy and it used AI, so not popular. Interesting, 1848 01:23:58.479 --> 01:24:01.600 I've heard. I've heard that this is like a mess. 1849 01:24:01.479 --> 01:24:02.000 Of a film. 1850 01:24:02.399 --> 01:24:08.000 We're going to be high the trailer? Yes, what a. 1851 01:24:08.079 --> 01:24:11.760 Wonderful Oh let's you guys made fun of me for 1852 01:24:11.960 --> 01:24:14.359 like having a really shit review. But I love the 1853 01:24:14.439 --> 01:24:16.720 idea of Dan Reiker watching a movie and being like, 1854 01:24:16.880 --> 01:24:19.680 just so you guys know, I was extremely high. 1855 01:24:19.960 --> 01:24:23.159 Oh absolutely, let's get into it.

I've had reservations. I have had 1864 01:24:41.199 --> 01:24:44.119 things that kind of annoyed me as i've played, but 1865 01:24:44.279 --> 01:24:45.920 I'm finding myself liking it more. 1866 01:24:46.199 --> 01:24:49.680 Trying to summarize it. It's over. You think Zelda's fine. 1867 01:24:50.399 --> 01:24:51.399 I think golf is very good. 1868 01:24:52.079 --> 01:24:56.520 Nine nine for me right now. Yeah that's a great score. 1869 01:24:57.399 --> 01:24:58.199 Okay, thank you? 1870 01:24:58.319 --> 01:25:08.079 Even superb score? Is that? What do we have the while? 1871 01:25:08.520 --> 01:25:10.359 Do we have the breakdown of like what the fuse? 1872 01:25:12.680 --> 01:25:16.359 Several poops like two through four, like different shades of poop? 1873 01:25:16.399 --> 01:25:20.000 I think, yeah, what is Grapple Dogs? 1874 01:25:20.399 --> 01:25:24.920 So Grapple Dogs is the sequel to Grapple Dog. Grapple 1875 01:25:25.000 --> 01:25:27.319 Dog came out several years ago, and I actually really 1876 01:25:27.520 --> 01:25:33.119 liked it. I was surprised that Grappled Dog a very simple, 1877 01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:39.079 uh visual two D platform or game where obviously you 1878 01:25:39.159 --> 01:25:41.159 have a grapple hook and you're a dog and you 1879 01:25:41.359 --> 01:25:43.840 just travel around and it takes you through a bunch 1880 01:25:43.880 --> 01:25:45.640 of platforming challenges. 1881 01:25:46.199 --> 01:25:48.640 It captured my attention. Grapple Dogs. 1882 01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:53.920 The sequel is Cosmic Canines, so it's the full title 1883 01:25:54.000 --> 01:25:58.279 is Grappled Dogs. Cosmic Canines adds a secondary dog. Now 1884 01:25:58.359 --> 01:26:03.359 there is a girl dog. She's sassy, she doesn't mess around. 1885 01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:07.880 She's a bit like emo looking. She wears like dark 1886 01:26:07.960 --> 01:26:08.680 goth clothing. 1887 01:26:08.960 --> 01:26:10.720 And two players. 1888 01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:12.640 No, it's single. 1889 01:26:12.760 --> 01:26:17.000 But what's neat about it is is the first dog 1890 01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:20.680 he doesn't have a dash. This girl adds a gun 1891 01:26:20.800 --> 01:26:22.239 and a dash. And they were like, you know what, 1892 01:26:22.319 --> 01:26:23.720 Grapple Dogs needs a. 1893 01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:24.840 Gun and a dash. 1894 01:26:25.359 --> 01:26:29.399 And so now you have twice the dog, double the dog, 1895 01:26:30.079 --> 01:26:34.239 and you can change dogs. It completely has to change 1896 01:26:34.239 --> 01:26:35.119 the way you play the game. 1897 01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:37.000 So on the fly, can you do it like during 1898 01:26:37.039 --> 01:26:37.359 a level? 1899 01:26:37.880 --> 01:26:40.560 No, certain levels are for certain dogs. 1900 01:26:41.000 --> 01:26:41.960 So who's there. 1901 01:26:44.319 --> 01:26:47.199 That is like an old wise Ostrich that tells you 1902 01:26:47.760 --> 01:26:49.880 secrets about lore, about the world. 1903 01:26:50.239 --> 01:26:51.039 Who's the bunny? 1904 01:26:52.680 --> 01:26:54.520 I mean, nobody cares about them, but they're. 1905 01:26:54.399 --> 01:26:56.720 Like a cover. It's on the cover. She's got her control. 1906 01:26:57.920 --> 01:26:58.720 She's like a. 1907 01:26:58.760 --> 01:27:02.399 Person that you're helping. You're saving their world. Okay, I 1908 01:27:02.479 --> 01:27:04.920 find them of no consequence. 1909 01:27:04.359 --> 01:27:06.159 So the narrative not exactly the start here. 1910 01:27:06.720 --> 01:27:07.319 Oh god no. 1911 01:27:07.479 --> 01:27:08.960 In fact, I would say that one of the weaker 1912 01:27:09.039 --> 01:27:10.479 parts of this game. I'll get to what I like 1913 01:27:10.560 --> 01:27:12.159 about it, but the thing I do not like about 1914 01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:14.760 this game is how often there will be someone in 1915 01:27:15.119 --> 01:27:17.760 the level that has an exclamation mark and you can 1916 01:27:17.800 --> 01:27:19.439 talk to them, and how. 1917 01:27:19.560 --> 01:27:24.720 Never is it valuable or anything you ever need to do. 1918 01:27:25.439 --> 01:27:28.840 At this point, and I'm well past three quarters of 1919 01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:32.279 the game, I just do not talk to people, and 1920 01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:34.800 if there is ever dialogue, I skip past it. It 1921 01:27:35.000 --> 01:27:40.239 is worthless to me. This story is of no interest, 1922 01:27:40.399 --> 01:27:43.800 but that's fine. This game is about grapple dogs. You 1923 01:27:43.920 --> 01:27:47.560 are grapple hooking lots of different areas and spaces to 1924 01:27:47.680 --> 01:27:49.960 get through the levels. When you're the girl dog, you 1925 01:27:50.119 --> 01:27:52.239 shoot and dash your way through it, and when you're 1926 01:27:52.239 --> 01:27:54.720 the boy dog, you have this like punch move so 1927 01:27:54.800 --> 01:27:57.079 you can like punch through blocks and like enemies and 1928 01:27:57.079 --> 01:27:59.359 stuff like that, and you have a bounce move so 1929 01:27:59.399 --> 01:28:03.760 that you can ounce up and down. There's really nothing 1930 01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:05.239 else to say about that, But the point is is 1931 01:28:05.760 --> 01:28:08.159 the levels have a nice amount of variety to them. 1932 01:28:08.159 --> 01:28:11.239 There's certain levels that are speed challenges, which I think 1933 01:28:11.319 --> 01:28:14.359 Dan you would like. When I play this game, the 1934 01:28:14.439 --> 01:28:17.039 thing that I get most excited about is the speed challenges, 1935 01:28:17.119 --> 01:28:18.920 and they'll be like, you have to get all the 1936 01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:21.199 apples in this space in less than two minutes, and 1937 01:28:21.239 --> 01:28:25.560 so you're running around, you're grappling, you're wall dashing, you're 1938 01:28:25.640 --> 01:28:28.319 jumping back and forth trying to get as many apples 1939 01:28:28.439 --> 01:28:31.359 in under two minutes. And to get all the bonuses, 1940 01:28:31.880 --> 01:28:34.960 you do have to be thinking about making sure like 1941 01:28:35.039 --> 01:28:37.359 how you can get each item and under the two 1942 01:28:37.399 --> 01:28:38.479 minute warning challenge. 1943 01:28:38.680 --> 01:28:44.600 That's fun. The regular levels, there's three hidden bonus I 1944 01:28:44.640 --> 01:28:45.439 don't know what they are. 1945 01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:48.039 It doesn't really matter, but like I just see Gizmo's 1946 01:28:48.079 --> 01:28:50.920 Tael on screen that I hear like he's punching something he. 1947 01:28:51.079 --> 01:28:53.600 Knows, just like digging into the recliner for some reason. 1948 01:28:53.680 --> 01:28:56.560 Okay, anyone who knows about grapple dogs, well, no, it's 1949 01:28:56.960 --> 01:29:00.319 very dog focused. There's three hidden items in each level, 1950 01:29:00.479 --> 01:29:03.520 plus a treasure box. You actually do have to pay 1951 01:29:03.560 --> 01:29:06.560 attention to find these hidden items plus the treasure box. 1952 01:29:06.760 --> 01:29:10.239 They're usually behind hidden walls or between behind like a 1953 01:29:10.359 --> 01:29:13.880 really difficult to get platforming section. So while anyone can 1954 01:29:13.960 --> 01:29:17.359 beat these levels. This game is not difficult to get 1955 01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:20.239 all the items and the treasure box. You do have 1956 01:29:20.359 --> 01:29:25.199 to be paying attention and be moderately skilled at a platforming. 1957 01:29:25.439 --> 01:29:28.319 I think for the platform enthusiast Dan, I do think 1958 01:29:28.399 --> 01:29:33.359 of you. I think it's an interesting game that carries 1959 01:29:33.560 --> 01:29:36.119 on the momentum from the original Grapple Dog, and I 1960 01:29:36.199 --> 01:29:37.159 do think it's worth playing. 1961 01:29:37.760 --> 01:29:40.479 I've always appreciated games, and like Mario has always been 1962 01:29:40.479 --> 01:29:41.720 good at this where it's like, okay, if you just 1963 01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:43.079 want to beat the game, if you want to beat 1964 01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:46.119 Mario sixty four, you can do it with I don't 1965 01:29:46.159 --> 01:29:47.840 know what the minimum amount of stars is, but like 1966 01:29:47.880 --> 01:29:49.520 you don't if you get to a hard level or whatever, 1967 01:29:49.560 --> 01:29:50.279 you don't have to do it. 1968 01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:50.680 You know. 1969 01:29:50.800 --> 01:29:53.520 It's like but for people that want to go crazy 1970 01:29:53.560 --> 01:29:55.960 with it, like like with Odyssey, I got every single 1971 01:29:56.119 --> 01:29:58.119 moon in that game. I played the shit out of it. 1972 01:29:58.399 --> 01:29:59.920 But if I didn't want to do the super secret 1973 01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:02.479 bonus thing at the end, and just if I wanted 1974 01:30:02.479 --> 01:30:05.720 to see credits, that's easy enough to do. But then 1975 01:30:05.800 --> 01:30:07.239 if you are someone like me that wants to like 1976 01:30:07.279 --> 01:30:10.079 super be challenged, it's got that option too. I think 1977 01:30:10.119 --> 01:30:10.640 that's really cool. 1978 01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:13.079 Yeah, it's got the levels for the different type of 1979 01:30:13.239 --> 01:30:15.840 gamer or player that it might be. I think that 1980 01:30:16.039 --> 01:30:19.279 kids could play through this game and fumble their way 1981 01:30:19.359 --> 01:30:22.039 through it, but if you want to actually get everything, 1982 01:30:22.079 --> 01:30:24.520 you have to start thinking and paying attention and get 1983 01:30:24.560 --> 01:30:28.199 it done. It also adds a lot of additional types 1984 01:30:28.239 --> 01:30:31.880 of gun or material. There's a gun that essentially turns 1985 01:30:32.279 --> 01:30:35.159 certain areas into grass, and you can only climb if 1986 01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:35.760 it's grass, so. 1987 01:30:35.760 --> 01:30:36.640 They'll be all this dirt. 1988 01:30:37.000 --> 01:30:39.800 So you're shooting it, turning into grass, grabbing it, and 1989 01:30:39.880 --> 01:30:41.680 you're doing that back and forth. I mean, I think 1990 01:30:41.720 --> 01:30:44.159 it's fun and it mixes it up enough. There's another 1991 01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:46.680 electrical gun that turns you into essentially like a ball 1992 01:30:46.720 --> 01:30:50.840 of energy that pingpongs around the level. Very later in 1993 01:30:50.960 --> 01:30:53.479 the game, I got a new gun that just straight 1994 01:30:53.560 --> 01:30:55.800 up turns me into a ball of fire, and I 1995 01:30:55.880 --> 01:30:58.319 can fly now like I can just fly around the. 1996 01:30:58.439 --> 01:31:01.000 Entire level, So you get quite powerful towards the end. 1997 01:31:02.079 --> 01:31:06.479 It's not a difficult game, generally speaking, but I find 1998 01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:10.840 it enjoyable enough. It's kept my attention. I will beat 1999 01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:13.000 it over time once I get a little bit more 2000 01:31:13.039 --> 01:31:17.720 time with it. But yeah, Grapple Dogs. Cosmic Canines has 2001 01:31:17.840 --> 01:31:20.319 surprised me and it might surprise you too. It's just 2002 01:31:20.399 --> 01:31:23.119 hard to compete with all the top tier contenders right now, but. 2003 01:31:23.199 --> 01:31:23.840 It's a good game. 2004 01:31:24.079 --> 01:31:25.840 I made a note though, because like this does sound 2005 01:31:25.880 --> 01:31:27.319 interesting to me, and like it seems like, you know, 2006 01:31:27.359 --> 01:31:29.199 we were talking about playing movies before. Like you know, 2007 01:31:29.399 --> 01:31:31.720 sometimes when you're on a plane, you just want to 2008 01:31:31.800 --> 01:31:33.840 zone out, and don't you're not playing a game like 2009 01:31:33.920 --> 01:31:35.560 a Zelda that you're like super invested in. You just 2010 01:31:35.600 --> 01:31:37.279 want to do like a fun kind of little challenge 2011 01:31:37.359 --> 01:31:39.479 game like this. And I'll get this on my steam 2012 01:31:39.520 --> 01:31:40.840 deck and I will probably give this a shot. 2013 01:31:41.159 --> 01:31:43.520 It's a total Steam deck plane game. 2014 01:31:43.760 --> 01:31:46.079 Or like sitting on my couch while I'm also watching 2015 01:31:46.239 --> 01:31:52.640 Netflix Jennifer Lawrence full Frontal, I would probably play Cosmic 2016 01:31:52.720 --> 01:31:56.680 Canines while I'm watching that cool Dan. 2017 01:31:56.800 --> 01:31:59.359 I know Jake talked about Dead Rising a few episodes ago, 2018 01:31:59.439 --> 01:32:00.800 but looks you've been playing it. 2019 01:32:01.600 --> 01:32:04.720 Yeah, not up ton to add other than the fact that, 2020 01:32:04.800 --> 01:32:07.079 like I beat it, and I was just very much 2021 01:32:07.119 --> 01:32:10.680 reminded of, like it's interesting now that we're far enough 2022 01:32:10.680 --> 01:32:13.359 away from that three sixty era, especially early three sixty 2023 01:32:13.479 --> 01:32:15.840 like Dead Rising, where I it's like, oh man, that 2024 01:32:15.920 --> 01:32:18.279 seems pretty recent to me. I don't consider it retro, 2025 01:32:18.479 --> 01:32:20.159 but it's been long enough now to where it's like, 2026 01:32:20.399 --> 01:32:23.000 oh right, Dead Rising, Okay, I forgot how much I 2027 01:32:23.159 --> 01:32:26.079 really like this game's whole vibe and sense of humor 2028 01:32:26.119 --> 01:32:29.039 and everything. It's super unique too. Like I, I was 2029 01:32:29.079 --> 01:32:31.439 talking to Nati, he's him and I both hated like 2030 01:32:31.640 --> 01:32:34.039 zombie stuff because it was just so overdone, you know, 2031 01:32:34.239 --> 01:32:36.520 forever ago, and this was the one that kind of 2032 01:32:36.520 --> 01:32:38.119 broke through for both of us where it's like, oh wait, no, 2033 01:32:38.199 --> 01:32:40.960 this game is just so much fucking fun and just 2034 01:32:41.039 --> 01:32:42.960 that idea of the seventy two hours that you kind 2035 01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:45.079 of loop and see how many people you can save 2036 01:32:45.359 --> 01:32:47.000 and you can kind of that new game plus was 2037 01:32:47.079 --> 01:32:49.359 very much baked into you're supposed to play it several times. 2038 01:32:49.479 --> 01:32:50.640 It's silly and funny. 2039 01:32:51.279 --> 01:32:52.920 Yes, yeah, it's that's the thing. It's like, I don't 2040 01:32:52.960 --> 01:32:55.119 give a shit about The Walking Dead, the show or 2041 01:32:55.199 --> 01:32:57.720 the game because I just don't care about this super serious, 2042 01:32:57.840 --> 01:33:00.920 fucking zombie and fiction stuff. It's always boring to me. 2043 01:33:01.720 --> 01:33:04.319 This was just very fun where it's like, okay, we've 2044 01:33:04.359 --> 01:33:08.680 got hordes of zombies, which makes it fun to grab 2045 01:33:08.800 --> 01:33:11.279 these insane weapons and just carve through them on the 2046 01:33:11.319 --> 01:33:13.439 way to go do some stupid thing or kill someone 2047 01:33:13.479 --> 01:33:15.920 in a grocery store. It's all the all the boss 2048 01:33:16.039 --> 01:33:19.560 fights are super memorable and cool. It's I just really 2049 01:33:20.159 --> 01:33:23.640 really like Dead Rising, and I'm glad to be reminded 2050 01:33:23.680 --> 01:33:25.920 of that in a time where it's like Dead Rising 2051 01:33:25.960 --> 01:33:27.600 for was the last one, and we really talked about that. 2052 01:33:27.720 --> 01:33:30.800 Dead Rising Free was all right, but this was my 2053 01:33:30.880 --> 01:33:32.840 favorite for sure. So very fun to go through, and 2054 01:33:32.880 --> 01:33:34.439 I did not expect to play for the whole game. Again, 2055 01:33:34.880 --> 01:33:35.359 that's cool. 2056 01:33:35.520 --> 01:33:37.920 It's cool that you like ended up sucking that much 2057 01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:40.960 time into it, considering like the age of it and everything. 2058 01:33:41.560 --> 01:33:43.720 It's still like I mean, and the remake does smart 2059 01:33:43.760 --> 01:33:45.920 things where you know, the original got a lot of 2060 01:33:45.920 --> 01:33:47.760 shit for like the save system and things like that, 2061 01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:50.079 and this has auto saved, This has some that quality 2062 01:33:50.119 --> 01:33:53.520 life stuff. Obviously, it looks really good. Yeah, it's it's 2063 01:33:53.800 --> 01:33:54.520 very very solid. 2064 01:33:54.800 --> 01:33:56.359 Are the boss fights still annoying? 2065 01:33:57.039 --> 01:33:59.239 They're annoying. I mean, it's kind of like a it's 2066 01:33:59.279 --> 01:34:02.720 a little just janky, just the way everything works, you know, 2067 01:34:02.800 --> 01:34:06.199 the AI is not the most brilliant, and some weapons 2068 01:34:06.239 --> 01:34:08.039 feel like you're just it's like a pea shooter and 2069 01:34:09.039 --> 01:34:11.439 it's a little cheap sometimes, but it's a product of 2070 01:34:11.479 --> 01:34:13.520 its time, and it was still very fun. I wasn't 2071 01:34:13.600 --> 01:34:16.479 like dying five times on a boss in stupid ways 2072 01:34:16.520 --> 01:34:18.159 or whatever. You just got to figure out how to 2073 01:34:18.199 --> 01:34:19.119 cheese it for the most part. 2074 01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:23.960 Okay, are core Keeper. 2075 01:34:25.520 --> 01:34:28.079 I've been playing more core Keeper. I still think it 2076 01:34:28.119 --> 01:34:30.600 would be a really fun bonus episode. 2077 01:34:31.680 --> 01:34:35.239 Core Keepers. Core Keepers really fun. I'm I'm really in 2078 01:34:35.600 --> 01:34:36.800 I just think it's. 2079 01:34:38.119 --> 01:34:44.960 Smart eight player multiplayer where you are digging around looking 2080 01:34:45.000 --> 01:34:49.640 for stuff. I've beaten my fourth boss now, I mean 2081 01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:53.600 it is really enjoyable to track down a boss and 2082 01:34:54.560 --> 01:34:56.439 you have to work with your friends to be like, 2083 01:34:57.079 --> 01:35:00.520 who's laying down traps? The one I just did It 2084 01:35:00.640 --> 01:35:02.479 is a difficult boss to get through. And so it's 2085 01:35:02.520 --> 01:35:06.399 like I was the person who was making health potions, 2086 01:35:06.439 --> 01:35:10.359 so my job was to make the right There's like 2087 01:35:10.439 --> 01:35:13.319 a health barry that you need for the potions, and 2088 01:35:13.439 --> 01:35:15.159 I was like an alchemist, so I was building all 2089 01:35:15.199 --> 01:35:17.760 these potions and like other things that would help increase 2090 01:35:17.800 --> 01:35:20.720 your strength or your defense by thirty percent, which was 2091 01:35:20.800 --> 01:35:21.960 very necessary for this boss. 2092 01:35:22.359 --> 01:35:23.359 Someone else was. 2093 01:35:23.520 --> 01:35:26.479 Mining and then making traps to lay down traps so 2094 01:35:26.560 --> 01:35:28.880 that when the boss runs around, they're actually taking a 2095 01:35:28.920 --> 01:35:31.920 lot of damage. The whole thing took a lot of planning. 2096 01:35:32.159 --> 01:35:34.439 When we finally took it down, it was very exciting. 2097 01:35:34.640 --> 01:35:37.000 And I just think there's something about this game of 2098 01:35:37.680 --> 01:35:41.119 co op. You know, everybody gets to play how they 2099 01:35:41.199 --> 01:35:43.039 want to play. If you want to be more defensive 2100 01:35:43.159 --> 01:35:45.199 or support, if you want to be a miner, if 2101 01:35:45.239 --> 01:35:48.239 you want to be a damage dealer, you can play 2102 01:35:48.359 --> 01:35:50.079 the way you want to play. And so I just 2103 01:35:50.119 --> 01:35:54.039 think it's a really smart game and I'm into it. So, yeah, 2104 01:35:54.159 --> 01:35:57.479 Corekeeper is still dope, what are you playing on? I'm 2105 01:35:57.520 --> 01:36:00.600 playing it on my steam deck, which is also a 2106 01:36:00.720 --> 01:36:04.479 benefit because like if you wanted to play with somebody 2107 01:36:04.520 --> 01:36:07.159 else in your house, they could play on their PC 2108 01:36:07.640 --> 01:36:10.399 or they could play like in the living room while 2109 01:36:10.439 --> 01:36:11.920 you play next to them on the steam deck. 2110 01:36:11.960 --> 01:36:13.960 Like it's a very communal experience. 2111 01:36:14.680 --> 01:36:17.640 Cool, Okay, I want to play it. Yeah, I'm curious. Yeah, 2112 01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:18.720 I downloaded on the steam deck. 2113 01:36:19.199 --> 01:36:21.880 I I think this is like up there for me 2114 01:36:22.279 --> 01:36:25.399 and I am encouraging more people to give it a shot, 2115 01:36:25.920 --> 01:36:27.800 but I do think it is a social game. 2116 01:36:27.920 --> 01:36:28.399 I could not. 2117 01:36:28.680 --> 01:36:31.640 I don't think I could sell this as a solo game. 2118 01:36:32.119 --> 01:36:34.279 It would be like playing Minecraft by yourself, which you 2119 01:36:34.319 --> 01:36:36.640 can do, but I think like the real sell of 2120 01:36:36.720 --> 01:36:38.880 that game is running around in a world with other people. 2121 01:36:39.239 --> 01:36:40.880 I was curious about that, because, yeah, I dowloaded that 2122 01:36:41.039 --> 01:36:43.199 as one of the thirty games I downloaded for the Plane, 2123 01:36:43.399 --> 01:36:45.119 and it's like, I don't know, like reading the description, 2124 01:36:45.239 --> 01:36:46.840 hearing you talk about it, it's like, I don't really 2125 01:36:46.920 --> 01:36:48.239 know if I should play this solo. 2126 01:36:48.760 --> 01:36:50.640 I think that the way you should start this game 2127 01:36:50.760 --> 01:36:53.359 is that we should play it and like dink around together. 2128 01:36:53.479 --> 01:36:55.920 I think it's like an interesting game to figure. 2129 01:36:55.600 --> 01:36:56.359 Out and solve. 2130 01:36:56.439 --> 01:36:59.039 And even the first area, which is like mostly a 2131 01:36:59.199 --> 01:37:01.000 mushroom onunderground area. 2132 01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:02.000 Is cute and cheeky. 2133 01:37:02.159 --> 01:37:05.760 And it's also low stakes. If you die, you just 2134 01:37:05.880 --> 01:37:07.239 go back to home base and you got to go 2135 01:37:07.319 --> 01:37:10.319 get your shit right. It's not the biggest deal in 2136 01:37:10.399 --> 01:37:13.760 the world to accidentally die or go too hard. 2137 01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:17.960 So low punishment. It wants you to explore and be 2138 01:37:18.079 --> 01:37:19.600 a little bit of a ding dong, and I think 2139 01:37:19.640 --> 01:37:20.119 that's great. 2140 01:37:20.920 --> 01:37:25.239 Nice Dan you're playing Blattro on mobile. 2141 01:37:25.680 --> 01:37:31.479 Oh, I'm somehow more into Blatro than ever.

It's jetlag. 2164 01:38:34.760 --> 01:38:38.159 It's it is kind of a fucking problem at this point. 2165 01:38:38.319 --> 01:38:40.880 Like I I download all these games. I like, I 2166 01:38:41.000 --> 01:38:43.039 you know, I hate flights and everything. So oh, it's 2167 01:38:43.039 --> 01:38:45.039 by the way, I brow dogged the flight home from Tokyo, 2168 01:38:45.079 --> 01:38:46.399 which I did not think I'd be able to do, 2169 01:38:46.439 --> 01:38:48.680 which is fucking crazy. Guy. I'm think I'm kind of 2170 01:38:48.720 --> 01:38:51.159 getting over my flights thof in like the not the 2171 01:38:51.199 --> 01:38:52.880 way people talk about it now, the way we talked 2172 01:38:52.920 --> 01:38:54.520 about it back there were it's just son holds over, 2173 01:38:54.720 --> 01:38:56.479 no Xanax, no beer or anything. And so it's like, 2174 01:38:56.520 --> 01:38:58.399 I think, if I can do that from Tokyo, I 2175 01:38:58.479 --> 01:39:01.079 think I'm I'm pretty confident about my playing Anxiety at 2176 01:39:01.079 --> 01:39:04.359 this point. But I downloaded all these fucking games because 2177 01:39:04.359 --> 01:39:06.600 I down all these movies. I you know, brought my 2178 01:39:06.880 --> 01:39:08.720 ar glasses. I get downloaded you know, all this Switch 2179 01:39:08.800 --> 01:39:10.720 I brought Switch and the Steam Deck. I'm like, it's 2180 01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:12.880 a long. It's like fourteen hours out there, it's eleven 2181 01:39:12.920 --> 01:39:16.119 hours coming back. I wound up just playing fucking Blatro 2182 01:39:16.359 --> 01:39:18.560 for like five hours on the flight out there. And 2183 01:39:18.640 --> 01:39:21.840 then as soon as I get to the hotel, my 2184 01:39:22.000 --> 01:39:26.439 iPad connected to the hotel Wi fi and that over 2185 01:39:26.560 --> 01:39:29.840 wrote my phone save of Balatro with the iPad save, 2186 01:39:30.079 --> 01:39:32.960 so all that five hours was immediately gone. And there 2187 01:39:33.079 --> 01:39:35.399 wasn't even a moment of like, ah shit, It was 2188 01:39:35.479 --> 01:39:37.840 just like, oh no, I guess I had to start 2189 01:39:37.880 --> 01:39:41.960 Pilatro again, like yeah, and I've just been playing that 2190 01:39:42.079 --> 01:39:45.600 save and now it's officially out. It's so fucking good 2191 01:39:45.760 --> 01:39:48.880 on mobile. It is so fucking awesome on iPad. On 2192 01:39:49.119 --> 01:39:52.399 phone it is It's really like I'm playing it while 2193 01:39:52.399 --> 01:39:56.640 I'm eating. I'm playing when I'm I don't know, it's 2194 01:39:56.680 --> 01:39:58.079 on an Apple arcade. 2195 01:39:58.159 --> 01:39:59.760 I know, I'm just curious. 2196 01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:03.000 The reason I ask is because like buying a game 2197 01:40:03.119 --> 01:40:04.600 again when I've already bought it. 2198 01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:05.920 Is a bit of a cell for me. 2199 01:40:06.239 --> 01:40:08.520 But I'll do it if it's like, yeah, you never 2200 01:40:08.600 --> 01:40:08.840 did that. 2201 01:40:09.520 --> 01:40:12.880 Yeah, no, it looks like some since it's ten dollars here. 2202 01:40:12.880 --> 01:40:15.319 I just googled it and it says ten dollars. 2203 01:40:15.760 --> 01:40:19.119 Wasn't it like seven? Like, wasn't it fifteen or something? 2204 01:40:19.159 --> 01:40:20.920 On Steam? Initially I might be completed. 2205 01:40:21.039 --> 01:40:25.640 Yes, we lost Mikey, Oh there we go. I don't 2206 01:40:25.640 --> 01:40:28.880 remember how much it was on Steam, but yeah, ten 2207 01:40:28.920 --> 01:40:31.319 dollars for Blatro is good, good, good. 2208 01:40:31.319 --> 01:40:33.600 It's a good amount. It's just like for a mobile 2209 01:40:33.640 --> 01:40:35.159 game that's like, uh, but. 2210 01:40:35.319 --> 01:40:39.039 It's Balatro, but it's Bulatro, baby, Bulatro. 2211 01:40:39.359 --> 01:40:42.239 It is the fucking best I got. I got the 2212 01:40:42.479 --> 01:40:47.359 physical edition on switch they sent me. It's it's the 2213 01:40:47.439 --> 01:40:50.119 best version of Blotro. And we already loved that game. 2214 01:40:50.199 --> 01:40:51.199 We all played it on Steam. 2215 01:40:51.239 --> 01:40:53.399 And what do you mean it's the best version of Bolotro. 2216 01:40:53.560 --> 01:40:55.640 You're saying it plays better on mobile. 2217 01:40:56.079 --> 01:40:58.039 I do think. I do think well because on the 2218 01:40:58.119 --> 01:41:00.880 olead on the Switch old, I played screen and I 2219 01:41:01.000 --> 01:41:02.880 think it is very nice to just be able to 2220 01:41:02.960 --> 01:41:05.560 kind of like it's conducive to just moving cards around 2221 01:41:05.560 --> 01:41:07.199 with your finger and stuff like that. But the size 2222 01:41:07.239 --> 01:41:09.840 of a phone screen or like you know, prop up 2223 01:41:09.840 --> 01:41:11.560 an iPad or something and play like you know, I'll 2224 01:41:11.600 --> 01:41:13.439 have my breakfast in the morning, got my iPad right there, 2225 01:41:13.479 --> 01:41:17.159 and just it is it's more conducive to touch controls 2226 01:41:17.199 --> 01:41:21.199 than it is controllers and just having in your pocket 2227 01:41:21.319 --> 01:41:24.279 all the fucking time. It is the perfect flight game. 2228 01:41:24.760 --> 01:41:27.520 I don't buy. I do not play mobile games at all. 2229 01:41:27.600 --> 01:41:30.159 I have not gotten a new mobile games since Threes, 2230 01:41:30.319 --> 01:41:32.920 which was over a decade ago. At this point, I 2231 01:41:33.039 --> 01:41:34.720 just don't give a shit about playing games on my phone. 2232 01:41:35.119 --> 01:41:37.359 I am full unobsessed with the Blattro a game. 2233 01:41:37.520 --> 01:41:37.800 Shit. 2234 01:41:38.039 --> 01:41:40.079 The haptics are really good, like when the cards are 2235 01:41:40.119 --> 01:41:42.119 getting dealt and everything all the like. There is a 2236 01:41:42.319 --> 01:41:46.279 tactile sense of this game that is fantastic. This is 2237 01:41:46.399 --> 01:41:47.359 the version of Blatro. 2238 01:41:47.760 --> 01:41:53.119 Dude, my dad is so freaking into Bolattro. It's really 2239 01:41:53.560 --> 01:41:56.439 it's really cool. It's not all the ways that I 2240 01:41:56.520 --> 01:42:00.119 can get a winner with my dad, like I've I've 2241 01:42:00.159 --> 01:42:01.399 had some good game. 2242 01:42:03.000 --> 01:42:04.960 Pitches to him and some big losses. 2243 01:42:05.560 --> 01:42:08.239 I bought him Blatro and I we're friends on Steam, 2244 01:42:08.279 --> 01:42:10.800 so I get a little notification when he starts a game. 2245 01:42:11.319 --> 01:42:14.319 And it is so funny how often every morning I'll 2246 01:42:14.359 --> 01:42:16.720 be working and like you know, in slack or whatever, 2247 01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:18.680 and I'll get a little notication in the bottom right 2248 01:42:18.760 --> 01:42:22.159 that my dad is playing Bolotro again. He has sunk 2249 01:42:22.479 --> 01:42:25.000 so many hours into Blatro and he can't help it. 2250 01:42:25.079 --> 01:42:26.600 He'll tell me all about it and he'll just be like, 2251 01:42:27.119 --> 01:42:31.079 it's crazy, Mary. How much every time I think I'm 2252 01:42:31.119 --> 01:42:33.880 gonna win, and then the final boss is like you 2253 01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:36.960 can't use spades, and I'm it's rude. Yeah, and the 2254 01:42:37.000 --> 01:42:40.439 anti just like is completely so rude, but it makes 2255 01:42:40.520 --> 01:42:41.760 you always on your toes. 2256 01:42:42.039 --> 01:42:45.159 You might think you have it locked and you don't. 2257 01:42:45.560 --> 01:42:48.880 You have to be very very confident to actually win 2258 01:42:49.079 --> 01:42:50.039 and beat Bilatra. 2259 01:42:50.359 --> 01:42:52.119 You need a plan B Like if you put all 2260 01:42:52.159 --> 01:42:54.079 your stuff in like I'm gonna make all my card spades, 2261 01:42:54.159 --> 01:42:56.079 and then the thing says you can't use spades, well 2262 01:42:56.239 --> 01:42:56.880 you have no better. 2263 01:42:57.800 --> 01:42:58.000 Yeah. 2264 01:42:58.359 --> 01:43:00.920 Also that story Mary, because I with my dad because 2265 01:43:00.920 --> 01:43:03.720 like I'm very selective with my dad about like, Okay, 2266 01:43:03.760 --> 01:43:05.640 I think he will like super Mega Baseball too. I 2267 01:43:05.680 --> 01:43:08.199 think he like, but he is very not up for 2268 01:43:08.279 --> 01:43:11.000 trying new things. So it's like one game every three years, 2269 01:43:11.079 --> 01:43:13.439 I'll try. And I tried. I made the big push 2270 01:43:13.520 --> 01:43:15.920 with the black row, got him a Code U, and 2271 01:43:16.239 --> 01:43:18.720 I spent like two hours when he was here when 2272 01:43:18.800 --> 01:43:21.239 after my surgery, like like standing up, like I was 2273 01:43:21.279 --> 01:43:23.479 doing a fucking presentation like okay, so this here you 2274 01:43:23.520 --> 01:43:25.239 see if you hold this, and he did this, and 2275 01:43:26.199 --> 01:43:28.039 I think he saw that there was something there. But 2276 01:43:28.119 --> 01:43:30.600 there was also the Paul record came in where it's like, 2277 01:43:30.880 --> 01:43:34.560 this isn't how poker works. Yeah, it's like, okay, Well I. 2278 01:43:34.680 --> 01:43:38.119 Worried about that too, because my dad, actually, his number 2279 01:43:38.199 --> 01:43:41.319 one hobby is to go to Vegas and play video poker. 2280 01:43:41.720 --> 01:43:44.399 That's his thing, that's what he does. 2281 01:43:44.520 --> 01:43:47.079 My dad goes to Vegas and he plays video poker, 2282 01:43:47.640 --> 01:43:49.640 and so it was very difficult for me to express 2283 01:43:49.680 --> 01:43:53.920 to him, this is poker on crack. It changes the 2284 01:43:54.079 --> 01:43:57.960 rules of poker. You won't play poker anymore. And the 2285 01:43:58.039 --> 01:44:00.439 first time my dad played this game, he got a 2286 01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:03.079 royal flush and was like, I'm the fucking best and 2287 01:44:03.159 --> 01:44:06.079 I was like, you're not, and you don't get it yet. 2288 01:44:06.479 --> 01:44:09.279 And he lost a couple of rounds. But the first 2289 01:44:09.319 --> 01:44:11.199 time he ever won, and I have the text on 2290 01:44:11.279 --> 01:44:14.000 my phone, it's so cute. He was like, I won 2291 01:44:14.079 --> 01:44:16.199 with two pair. Isn't that nuts? 2292 01:44:16.319 --> 01:44:18.800 And I was like, that is nuts, dad, And like 2293 01:44:19.199 --> 01:44:20.439 the fact that he there. 2294 01:44:20.439 --> 01:44:22.680 Was something in his brain that finally clicked that it's 2295 01:44:22.800 --> 01:44:25.800 not about getting the royal flush anymore. 2296 01:44:26.279 --> 01:44:30.600 It's about just leveling up. Will you put that away? 2297 01:44:31.359 --> 01:44:35.520 It's about leveling up whatever hand that you can that 2298 01:44:35.640 --> 01:44:39.600 you think, well, you'll actually get a lot and score. 2299 01:44:39.520 --> 01:44:41.920 Or building a whole deck based off a joker you 2300 01:44:42.000 --> 01:44:44.159 get early on where it's like one of those runs. 2301 01:44:44.159 --> 01:44:47.800 Okay, great, we're deleting half your deck and only having 2302 01:44:48.119 --> 01:44:48.840 heart cards. 2303 01:44:48.880 --> 01:44:51.680 That way you can't not get a flush. So interesting. 2304 01:44:51.920 --> 01:44:56.039 Yeah, the language of poker is good to know, you know, 2305 01:44:56.279 --> 01:45:00.199 it's happiest the visuals of poker. But it is not poker. 2306 01:45:00.239 --> 01:45:01.880 And that's the thing is, Like I kept telling my dad, like, 2307 01:45:01.920 --> 01:45:03.960 you gotta turn off the start of your brain that 2308 01:45:04.079 --> 01:45:05.840 is telling you to play this like poker because it 2309 01:45:05.960 --> 01:45:08.520 is different than that. And I do think he struggled 2310 01:45:08.560 --> 01:45:11.840 with it. But no, I'm I'm so fucking into it again. 2311 01:45:12.159 --> 01:45:14.119 Best Jokers Game of the Year category. 2312 01:45:14.199 --> 01:45:15.000 I already put it in there. 2313 01:45:15.039 --> 01:45:17.119 It's already there. Okay, gotch I was gonna say, I 2314 01:45:17.359 --> 01:45:20.760 assuming you did already out of it? Best Echoes, best Jokers, 2315 01:45:20.800 --> 01:45:22.880 best Yep? What else? 2316 01:45:24.079 --> 01:45:24.439 A few? 2317 01:45:25.279 --> 01:45:27.640 There's got to be something in Infinite Wealth. Oh, I've 2318 01:45:27.680 --> 01:45:30.520 been I've been playing more of Infinite Wealth, like chapter nine. 2319 01:45:30.600 --> 01:45:33.239 I think I'm in now at this point. I like 2320 01:45:33.319 --> 01:45:34.279 that game quite a bit. 2321 01:45:34.720 --> 01:45:37.920 Spoil anything where it's been a while, now where you're at, Like, 2322 01:45:38.680 --> 01:45:40.439 where are you at in the story. 2323 01:45:41.199 --> 01:45:46.079 Fairly far into curious like main arc or like his 2324 01:45:46.199 --> 01:45:51.039 big thing. Okay, like you find out it's I don't 2325 01:45:51.079 --> 01:45:53.600 think it's what happened, what happens with him. But I'm 2326 01:45:53.680 --> 01:45:57.319 back he left, I'm back doing his side of things 2327 01:45:57.479 --> 01:45:57.880 he left. 2328 01:45:57.920 --> 01:45:59.800 Okay, all right, that's ya. I still need to pick 2329 01:45:59.880 --> 01:46:01.319 up up because I got to the point where he 2330 01:46:01.479 --> 01:46:03.159 left and uh oh. 2331 01:46:03.159 --> 01:46:06.399 It starts doing some cool stuff like the next chapter 2332 01:46:06.640 --> 01:46:07.720 after he leaves Hawaii. 2333 01:46:08.439 --> 01:46:11.239 Yeah, okay, I need to because I was really loving 2334 01:46:11.319 --> 01:46:15.479 that and I think something huge came out and play this. 2335 01:46:15.800 --> 01:46:19.159 I found it pretty easy to pick back up. Okay, 2336 01:46:19.319 --> 01:46:21.800 because I did. I got, I did Dundoku, I did 2337 01:46:21.840 --> 01:46:23.600 the five star resort, and then I hung around for 2338 01:46:23.600 --> 01:46:25.840 another like two or three hours to make it actually 2339 01:46:25.920 --> 01:46:28.439 look good because there at a certain point like for 2340 01:46:28.720 --> 01:46:30.479 four stars, like I just want five stars. I'll put 2341 01:46:30.520 --> 01:46:34.479 buildings where the fuck ever. But uh, I picked up 2342 01:46:35.079 --> 01:46:37.960 the actual j RPG of it all really quick again. 2343 01:46:38.479 --> 01:46:40.239 That's yeah, because I remember when I quit, I was like, 2344 01:46:40.279 --> 01:46:42.399 you know what, this is probably a decent time because 2345 01:46:42.600 --> 01:46:45.319 there's a very clear distinct line of like, okay, this 2346 01:46:45.439 --> 01:46:48.359 is in a different spot now, so maybe maybe I'll 2347 01:46:48.399 --> 01:46:50.600 go back going to come out the game of the year. 2348 01:46:50.760 --> 01:46:52.560 The UI is great, Like if you come up to 2349 01:46:52.640 --> 01:46:57.159 the Blacksmith character the engineer, she'll be like, oh, I 2350 01:46:57.239 --> 01:46:59.079 can do this and this and this, and then the 2351 01:46:59.239 --> 01:47:01.880 combat will say, oh, this attack does this, and then 2352 01:47:01.920 --> 01:47:03.399 make sure to line them up like this. So it 2353 01:47:03.520 --> 01:47:06.960 was it's pretty easy. And then you know that game's 2354 01:47:07.000 --> 01:47:10.720 cut scenes are pretty expositionary, so they're going to be like, oh, 2355 01:47:10.920 --> 01:47:12.760 last time we spoke, this happened. 2356 01:47:12.760 --> 01:47:15.439 I was right. It's really easy to images of what 2357 01:47:15.560 --> 01:47:16.800 happened in the flashbacks. 2358 01:47:16.880 --> 01:47:19.079 Yeah, okay, it was not hard to jump back into 2359 01:47:19.119 --> 01:47:19.359 it all. 2360 01:47:21.000 --> 01:47:22.439 I'll get back in because I feel like that's going 2361 01:47:22.479 --> 01:47:24.399 to be my top ten this year and I should 2362 01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:25.920 be like a lot. 2363 01:47:26.319 --> 01:47:28.359 I came around on it. The beginning's still weak in 2364 01:47:28.439 --> 01:47:30.279 my opinion, but I mean it's been a while, but. 2365 01:47:30.479 --> 01:47:31.119 It takes a while. 2366 01:47:31.439 --> 01:47:34.560 How many hours are you in though, just to get 2367 01:47:34.640 --> 01:47:35.520 a perspective? 2368 01:47:35.960 --> 01:47:36.680 Chapter nine? 2369 01:47:37.359 --> 01:47:40.119 Oh man, I'm usually usually at that point. 2370 01:47:40.720 --> 01:47:43.600 I'm usually good at this, but two big play sessions 2371 01:47:43.640 --> 01:47:47.239 split up. Yeah, I would say like thirty probably. 2372 01:47:47.039 --> 01:47:50.159 That's probably where I'm at, like around there. Yeah, but 2373 01:47:50.279 --> 01:47:51.960 no good game. 2374 01:47:52.560 --> 01:47:55.399 You start unlocking all the different jobs, the surfer, the 2375 01:47:55.479 --> 01:47:58.720 fired dancer, the geo dancer, whatever you want to call them. 2376 01:47:58.920 --> 01:48:04.119 It gets great. Yeah, Mary, you're also playing Demons. Sorry, Daisy, 2377 01:48:04.239 --> 01:48:09.800 just closed out of my turn my camera off, just. 2378 01:48:09.880 --> 01:48:13.640 Showing off that the hole and turning off all your systems. 2379 01:48:13.920 --> 01:48:17.920 Yeah, what is this demon's game you speak of? Uh? 2380 01:48:18.159 --> 01:48:24.119 Demons Mirror is a rogue light sorry, rogue like deck builder, 2381 01:48:24.760 --> 01:48:28.840 and I think for that style of game, it's quite addictive. 2382 01:48:29.720 --> 01:48:29.800 Uh. 2383 01:48:30.119 --> 01:48:34.039 This is a game where you are building a deck 2384 01:48:34.239 --> 01:48:37.319 and you're coming across monsters and a turn based system, 2385 01:48:37.479 --> 01:48:40.239 so they're like going to attack you. You'll see what 2386 01:48:40.279 --> 01:48:42.479 they're about to do above their heads, so they might 2387 01:48:42.600 --> 01:48:47.359 be defending or maybe they're going to attack you, or 2388 01:48:47.479 --> 01:48:49.119 they do something even crazier. 2389 01:48:49.239 --> 01:48:53.800 I feel like this mixes rogue like deck builders with 2390 01:48:55.640 --> 01:48:57.439 with that gem game match. 2391 01:48:57.319 --> 01:48:59.960 Three like a a Jeweled Yes, I'm looking at images. 2392 01:49:00.159 --> 01:49:02.760 It looks like a puzzle quest. A prelade puzzle quest 2393 01:49:02.800 --> 01:49:03.199 is awesome. 2394 01:49:03.479 --> 01:49:04.720 It does have that vibe to it. 2395 01:49:04.880 --> 01:49:08.680 So it's Bejeweled meets a deck builder, and so you're 2396 01:49:09.079 --> 01:49:13.000 coming across these characters. In order to attack them, you 2397 01:49:13.199 --> 01:49:15.399 have to connect and it lets you do it diagonally 2398 01:49:15.439 --> 01:49:18.479 because it's so cool. It lets you connect all of 2399 01:49:18.720 --> 01:49:22.000 your little uh I think there are swords that cross 2400 01:49:22.880 --> 01:49:25.159 to attack if you need to defend because maybe they're 2401 01:49:25.159 --> 01:49:27.520 gonna they're gonna attack you that turn. Then you need 2402 01:49:27.560 --> 01:49:29.600 to connect all your shields. But then it has all 2403 01:49:29.640 --> 01:49:33.680 this like fun additional currency that is really interesting. It 2404 01:49:33.760 --> 01:49:37.199 has this I don't know, green blob currency. If you 2405 01:49:37.239 --> 01:49:41.840 connect all those, it gives you a super power that 2406 01:49:41.960 --> 01:49:44.680 you can only use if you get enough of them. 2407 01:49:44.800 --> 01:49:48.359 Maybe it's like twenty of them, and it adds them 2408 01:49:48.439 --> 01:49:50.720 over time, and so if you get to that, then 2409 01:49:50.760 --> 01:49:53.439 you get to do like twenty five damage or something 2410 01:49:53.560 --> 01:49:57.000 really extreme, or you get to defend more or take 2411 01:49:57.039 --> 01:50:01.039 away one of your because they can they can give you. 2412 01:50:02.840 --> 01:50:04.800 They can give you like cons to your character that 2413 01:50:04.960 --> 01:50:08.000 hurt your character and cause you problems later on, so 2414 01:50:08.439 --> 01:50:11.640 you could like remove an issue that you have with 2415 01:50:11.720 --> 01:50:14.920 your character. I've got really addicted to this game. I 2416 01:50:15.039 --> 01:50:17.399 was shocked how addicted I got to this game. Maybe 2417 01:50:17.439 --> 01:50:20.119 it's because of the Bejeweled aspect of it, of the 2418 01:50:20.199 --> 01:50:23.880 matchmaking system and using that to attack, but also because 2419 01:50:23.920 --> 01:50:26.880 it has a long way to Go. You have to 2420 01:50:26.960 --> 01:50:29.920 be very careful with ever taking damage in that game. 2421 01:50:30.319 --> 01:50:32.720 As you're building your deck, as you're building your character, 2422 01:50:33.199 --> 01:50:35.880 you will get some insane opowers, but if you take 2423 01:50:35.920 --> 01:50:38.680 too much damage, it's very difficult to get your health back, 2424 01:50:38.760 --> 01:50:41.399 and then you die permanently and you have to start your. 2425 01:50:41.840 --> 01:50:44.119 Character and your build all over again to try and 2426 01:50:44.199 --> 01:50:44.479 beat it. 2427 01:50:44.960 --> 01:50:48.279 Yeah, it looks like Slay the Spire meets puzzle quests 2428 01:50:48.319 --> 01:50:49.640 meets Yeah, monster Train. 2429 01:50:50.439 --> 01:50:53.079 I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it because it 2430 01:50:53.439 --> 01:50:57.119 combines a lot of the things that people love about 2431 01:50:57.159 --> 01:51:01.039 certain types of games, like Slay the Spire. It's got 2432 01:51:01.439 --> 01:51:05.880 all the good good but I just don't hear anyone 2433 01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:09.279 talking about it. I will say, like, it's got an 2434 01:51:09.359 --> 01:51:12.399 indie ass indie vibe to it, right, like it's it's 2435 01:51:12.520 --> 01:51:15.000 not I wouldn't say it's not polished, but I would 2436 01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:17.720 say like it it doesn't have all the fanfare of 2437 01:51:18.680 --> 01:51:21.359 a really beautiful cutscene intro or anything like that. 2438 01:51:21.600 --> 01:51:23.520 You're like walking in the woods and you come across 2439 01:51:23.600 --> 01:51:26.359 a mirror and it's like and now you're in the game. 2440 01:51:27.159 --> 01:51:32.560 But the game mechanic is very interesting and addictive. It 2441 01:51:32.680 --> 01:51:36.319 also has a random elements to it. So when you're 2442 01:51:36.399 --> 01:51:39.439 not literally in the gameplay screen where you're fighting an enemy, 2443 01:51:39.920 --> 01:51:42.800 you get to choose the path your character walks and 2444 01:51:42.920 --> 01:51:46.199 you can do random element sequences where it'll be like 2445 01:51:46.560 --> 01:51:49.520 you're in the woods and you come across a thorny bush. 2446 01:51:49.840 --> 01:51:52.960 Do you put your hand inside of it? And maybe 2447 01:51:53.159 --> 01:51:55.479 you get like a cool ie? Yeah, you know you did, 2448 01:51:55.880 --> 01:51:59.119 and maybe you get a cool item. But also maybe 2449 01:51:59.159 --> 01:52:01.560 your character takes ten damage, and so you have to 2450 01:52:01.640 --> 01:52:04.079 be very thoughtful of like when you take the risks. 2451 01:52:04.159 --> 01:52:08.199 When you don't, there's more difficult boss battles that will 2452 01:52:08.239 --> 01:52:10.960 give you better rewards, but if you take too much damage, 2453 01:52:11.000 --> 01:52:12.960 it's gonna like really fuck up your character. And then 2454 01:52:13.000 --> 01:52:15.720 in each path there's a boss at the end of 2455 01:52:15.840 --> 01:52:19.920 the path, and the boss does like hella damage or 2456 01:52:20.039 --> 01:52:23.800 has like a crazy amount of health. Some of them 2457 01:52:23.880 --> 01:52:26.000 they do this really interesting thing where they fuck with 2458 01:52:26.079 --> 01:52:28.119 your deck, so they'll give you cards that are worthless, 2459 01:52:28.399 --> 01:52:30.760 So now your deck has these cards that are completely 2460 01:52:30.960 --> 01:52:34.039 unusable and that's a huge pain in your butt. 2461 01:52:34.479 --> 01:52:36.039 Or they do something really interesting in. 2462 01:52:36.079 --> 01:52:40.119 The bejeweled area, they will put a bomb and if 2463 01:52:40.159 --> 01:52:44.039 you can't sink enough stuff to get rid of the bomb. 2464 01:52:44.239 --> 01:52:47.039 It does like twenty or thirty damage to your character, 2465 01:52:47.239 --> 01:52:51.359 so very dramatic. It took me a couple tries. When 2466 01:52:51.439 --> 01:52:54.680 I did beat this game, I felt like a genius. 2467 01:52:54.800 --> 01:52:57.159 I felt like a million dollars. It gave me the 2468 01:52:57.279 --> 01:53:00.359 bilatro vibes of like I can't believe I beat that game. 2469 01:53:00.720 --> 01:53:03.319 I came within a hair of my life like six 2470 01:53:03.520 --> 01:53:06.319 times to beat this game, and so it gave me 2471 01:53:06.479 --> 01:53:10.600 like that real, real good experience of like I barely 2472 01:53:10.760 --> 01:53:11.680 made it, but I did it. 2473 01:53:11.760 --> 01:53:14.840 I beat Demon's Mirror and and so I think it's 2474 01:53:15.359 --> 01:53:16.039 really great. 2475 01:53:16.239 --> 01:53:16.560 I was. 2476 01:53:16.960 --> 01:53:17.920 I'm shocked that I. 2477 01:53:17.920 --> 01:53:20.119 Haven't heard more people talk about this, considering, like all 2478 01:53:20.199 --> 01:53:23.199 the benefits of other other games that people love. 2479 01:53:23.159 --> 01:53:23.720 They're in here. 2480 01:53:24.520 --> 01:53:25.960 I mean, just yeah, looking at a screen chest and 2481 01:53:26.000 --> 01:53:29.720 hearing you describe this, it seems to be using influences 2482 01:53:29.920 --> 01:53:32.560 of that I really like a lot, Like I'm curious 2483 01:53:32.600 --> 01:53:34.399 that also seems like another great team that game. 2484 01:53:34.720 --> 01:53:37.840 Monster Train is one of my favorite, like Rogue Lights, 2485 01:53:38.079 --> 01:53:40.079 and this sounds like it. I mean, Monster Train already 2486 01:53:40.199 --> 01:53:43.079 was a riff on Slay the Spire, but this sounds 2487 01:53:43.119 --> 01:53:44.880 like a riff on both of them, so I'll try 2488 01:53:44.880 --> 01:53:46.640 it so out and match three is always just Mary. 2489 01:53:46.800 --> 01:53:49.880 I you came up on the BombCast this week because 2490 01:53:50.119 --> 01:53:54.640 uh who Grub was talking about Tiny Glade.

You know, it's not a sim city. It's 2501 01:54:18.560 --> 01:54:22.920 not a city skylines or anything indie cozy city builder 2502 01:54:23.000 --> 01:54:27.520 type thing. Everything Grub was saying sounded like it would 2503 01:54:27.520 --> 01:54:28.279 be up your ally, so. 2504 01:54:29.800 --> 01:54:33.399 So adorable. I love stuff like this.

I just 2510 01:54:47.279 --> 01:54:49.640 remember thinking like, oh, this sounds like a married game. 2511 01:54:49.880 --> 01:54:53.039 Well if we're gonna go down this path because I 2512 01:54:53.079 --> 01:54:55.399 haven't played this game either, but I'm really excited about it. 2513 01:54:55.560 --> 01:54:58.279 I learned about a game recently called Tales of the Shire, 2514 01:54:58.439 --> 01:55:01.880 a Lord of the Rings game, and literally, in this game, Dan, 2515 01:55:02.520 --> 01:55:06.479 you you like grow food in your garden, you cook 2516 01:55:06.560 --> 01:55:09.560 it and turn it into food, and then other Hobbits 2517 01:55:09.680 --> 01:55:11.920 come to your home for dinner and then they judge 2518 01:55:11.960 --> 01:55:14.920 you based on how good the dish is, based on 2519 01:55:15.000 --> 01:55:18.159 like a variety of different things like consistency and how 2520 01:55:18.399 --> 01:55:19.439 high quality. 2521 01:55:19.119 --> 01:55:21.199 The ingredients were from your home.

If 2526 01:55:38.079 --> 01:55:40.399 it gives me a high rating with the other Hobbits 2527 01:55:40.439 --> 01:55:44.199 of hobbitin, then yes, I am in the Hobbiton. 2528 01:55:45.760 --> 01:55:47.960 That's yes.

I'm 2589 01:58:30.520 --> 01:58:32.760 coming up on a year actually on October thirteenth. We're 2590 01:58:32.800 --> 01:58:34.520 just talking about. So I'm coming up on a year 2591 01:58:35.000 --> 01:58:37.760 been with Amanda for it will have been like four 2592 01:58:38.039 --> 01:58:45.880 and a half fish years. But I'll talk last, Okay, Okay, 2593 01:58:46.399 --> 01:58:46.760 here I go. 2594 01:58:47.000 --> 01:58:50.760 I'm on almost seven and a half years of marriage, 2595 01:58:50.880 --> 01:58:56.680 almost ten years of being with bank. It's it gets 2596 01:58:57.239 --> 01:59:00.560 easier as you get to know someone and so like 2597 01:59:00.640 --> 01:59:02.760 it was never hard, you know, Bonka and I always 2598 01:59:02.760 --> 01:59:04.880 got along so well. But like as you just kind 2599 01:59:04.920 --> 01:59:08.199 of know someone their routines and how they operate and 2600 01:59:08.279 --> 01:59:11.560 things like that, you can just recognize things, you know, 2601 01:59:11.680 --> 01:59:13.880 and when to give space and when to you know, 2602 01:59:14.000 --> 01:59:16.520 hang out, when to do that. Like you just once 2603 01:59:16.560 --> 01:59:19.199 you get to know someone over years and years and years, 2604 01:59:20.199 --> 01:59:22.560 just just notice the way they're like, Okay, this is 2605 01:59:22.560 --> 01:59:24.720 maybe the time to hang back, let them have their time, 2606 01:59:24.800 --> 01:59:30.079 and two different people. You know, there was a marriage, 2607 01:59:30.119 --> 01:59:33.199 but like I think I thought early on that it 2608 01:59:33.359 --> 01:59:35.359 was like, oh, you know, I'm married. You know it's 2609 01:59:35.399 --> 01:59:36.680 got to be you know, every night, I got to 2610 01:59:36.720 --> 01:59:38.039 be planning this stuff and doing this thing and doing 2611 01:59:38.039 --> 01:59:39.560 all these things together and doing all this and like, no, 2612 01:59:39.920 --> 01:59:42.359 it's still two different people that with two different lives 2613 01:59:42.399 --> 01:59:46.000 that are like doing their own thing, and it's and 2614 01:59:46.079 --> 01:59:48.359 everyone's different. You know, maybe one couple will want to 2615 01:59:48.800 --> 01:59:51.079 be together doing stuff every single night. Maybe one couple 2616 01:59:51.239 --> 01:59:52.760 you know, like they okay, we like bonk and I 2617 01:59:52.880 --> 01:59:54.359 a lot of times, like I'm playing a game down here, 2618 01:59:54.439 --> 01:59:56.119 she's playing a game up there. You know, she's working, 2619 01:59:56.159 --> 01:59:58.800 she's doing Japanese lessons, I'm doing my thing. I'm streaming 2620 01:59:59.079 --> 02:00:02.039 and like just wrecking eyes. Like when to give space, uh, 2621 02:00:02.159 --> 02:00:03.920 and when to you know, give the time to you know, 2622 02:00:04.000 --> 02:00:06.960 do stuff as a couple. But it's stuff that comes naturally, 2623 02:00:07.039 --> 02:00:09.439 like so it's not even like advice. It's just stuff 2624 02:00:09.439 --> 02:00:12.159 that like you will just pick this stuff up over time, 2625 02:00:12.680 --> 02:00:15.039 and I just think it gets easier. I Mean the 2626 02:00:15.199 --> 02:00:19.880 cliche is communication and that has always been a huge 2627 02:00:19.960 --> 02:00:21.520 thing with me and Bank where it's like a third. 2628 02:00:21.680 --> 02:00:24.239 I probably over communicate. I probably like if I'm feeling 2629 02:00:24.319 --> 02:00:25.840 something or want to talk about something, I'll bring it 2630 02:00:25.920 --> 02:00:28.199 up like right away. And yeah, I just. 2631 02:00:30.760 --> 02:00:35.640 I'm just saying I am upset, upset. 2632 02:00:35.760 --> 02:00:37.000 I'm pretty much never upset. 2633 02:00:37.720 --> 02:00:40.079 I really did not mean it as a barb. I 2634 02:00:40.199 --> 02:00:44.399 just you do over communicating is not always bad, but. 2635 02:00:44.439 --> 02:00:46.920 You do you're to say how do you feel? Which 2636 02:00:47.000 --> 02:00:47.800 is a good thing. 2637 02:00:48.279 --> 02:00:50.479 I think I do that so much that like that 2638 02:00:50.560 --> 02:00:53.119 whole like wearing your opinions and thoughts on your sleeve, 2639 02:00:53.279 --> 02:00:55.279 Like I think I don't even think about it anymore. 2640 02:00:55.520 --> 02:00:58.920 It's help. Just like I all I'm saying is I'm 2641 02:00:59.039 --> 02:01:00.960 not surprised that you you are there. 2642 02:01:00.880 --> 02:01:03.279 Yeah, making and I would stand by that. Like I 2643 02:01:03.439 --> 02:01:06.920 just feel like full disclosure and full honesty and full 2644 02:01:07.039 --> 02:01:09.680 like just being yourself one hundred percent of the way 2645 02:01:10.119 --> 02:01:13.560 in every situation is it's never done me wrong, you know, 2646 02:01:14.079 --> 02:01:17.720 whether it's in a marriage or a job or interpersonal 2647 02:01:17.800 --> 02:01:21.039 friendship stuff or whatever. So just yeah, it's two different people. 2648 02:01:21.159 --> 02:01:23.119 Both of you feel totally free to be yourselves all 2649 02:01:23.159 --> 02:01:25.800 the time and communicate whenever if anything does come up, 2650 02:01:26.239 --> 02:01:28.159 bring it up, talk about it, like, don't don't let 2651 02:01:28.159 --> 02:01:29.960 anything fester. It doesn't help anyone. 2652 02:01:32.079 --> 02:01:32.840 That's good advice. 2653 02:01:34.439 --> 02:01:38.079 I don't usually talk about my personal life very often, 2654 02:01:39.039 --> 02:01:43.399 but I've the reason that Dan and Mike went to 2655 02:01:43.520 --> 02:01:47.479 Portland was because I had my tenure wedding anniversary. I've 2656 02:01:47.560 --> 02:01:50.680 been married for ten years, which is crazy, and I've 2657 02:01:50.720 --> 02:01:56.159 known them for fourteen years, which is even crazier. I 2658 02:01:57.039 --> 02:02:01.199 keep it really private because it is a different part 2659 02:02:01.399 --> 02:02:05.600 of me that is very important, and I kind of 2660 02:02:05.960 --> 02:02:08.800 like that it's mine and it's not for other people, 2661 02:02:08.880 --> 02:02:10.640 and I don't really discuss it. 2662 02:02:10.720 --> 02:02:11.720 It's just something that I have. 2663 02:02:12.159 --> 02:02:18.319 And I think the secret for me is I feel 2664 02:02:18.439 --> 02:02:21.119 very similarly to Dan, which is we are two very 2665 02:02:21.159 --> 02:02:21.960 different people. 2666 02:02:21.880 --> 02:02:23.079 And it is so important. 2667 02:02:23.239 --> 02:02:25.239 It doesn't matter how similar you are, it doesn't matter 2668 02:02:25.279 --> 02:02:28.000 what you have in common. It's about acknowledging that you're 2669 02:02:28.039 --> 02:02:32.479 two separate people with two different dreams and ambitions and vibes, 2670 02:02:32.640 --> 02:02:37.119 and you have totally different reactions to things, but you're 2671 02:02:37.199 --> 02:02:40.560 both really valid and important, and so when you've decided 2672 02:02:40.640 --> 02:02:43.119 to spend your life with another person, it's kind of 2673 02:02:44.279 --> 02:02:49.159 really aligning that you will need to think about and 2674 02:02:49.279 --> 02:02:52.000 empathize with them on a greater level than you have 2675 02:02:52.159 --> 02:02:54.079 with any other person you've ever met before. 2676 02:02:54.520 --> 02:02:56.520 And so when they're upset, you need to really think 2677 02:02:56.560 --> 02:02:58.560 about it and be like, wow, why are you upset? 2678 02:02:58.960 --> 02:03:02.479 If they are scared or confused, or if they're having 2679 02:03:02.520 --> 02:03:04.600 a problem, you really think about it and be like, wow, 2680 02:03:04.600 --> 02:03:06.279 how can I help this person? How can I be 2681 02:03:06.399 --> 02:03:09.159 there for them?

I mean there is, but like, no, no, 2759 02:06:33.279 --> 02:06:33.880 not that there's no. 2760 02:06:34.800 --> 02:06:36.079 It's more that I was like, I think I was 2761 02:06:36.119 --> 02:06:38.359 putting more pressure on myself to be perfect, and I 2762 02:06:38.439 --> 02:06:40.239 was like, oh, I'm a husband now, I can't start 2763 02:06:40.359 --> 02:06:41.520 dumb arguments about. 2764 02:06:41.399 --> 02:06:44.239 Our marriage is broken, about scallop. 2765 02:06:43.840 --> 02:06:45.680 Should have been flipped earlier, or something. 2766 02:06:45.840 --> 02:06:49.000 Like yeah, that's why my dad and my mom got divorced. 2767 02:06:49.039 --> 02:06:55.439 I know, yeah, because he's yeah, yeah, I'm sitting Yeah, 2768 02:06:55.960 --> 02:06:59.960 I think. I know it's cliche for people here, cliche. 2769 02:07:00.119 --> 02:07:01.920 It's like, don't go to bed angry. And I'm like, 2770 02:07:02.119 --> 02:07:04.800 I think that actually holds weight. 2771 02:07:05.600 --> 02:07:07.199 And I don't think we've ever done it once. 2772 02:07:07.279 --> 02:07:12.199 A yeah, both of you know me and Amanda pretty well. 2773 02:07:12.359 --> 02:07:15.840 I think we would both qualify as pretty big personalities sometimes, 2774 02:07:15.880 --> 02:07:17.680 so like it's not like we don't clash every once 2775 02:07:17.720 --> 02:07:20.520 in a while, but I think the thing that we 2776 02:07:20.560 --> 02:07:22.760 have discovered this first year, or I mean even going 2777 02:07:22.840 --> 02:07:25.800 back before we were married, in the four years we've 2778 02:07:25.920 --> 02:07:30.439 known each other, it's like, even when you're like having disagreements, 2779 02:07:31.119 --> 02:07:33.680 I think it helps a lot to throw little things 2780 02:07:33.720 --> 02:07:35.520 in there to remind the other person that's like, hey, 2781 02:07:35.560 --> 02:07:38.119 I realize we're still on the same team. This is 2782 02:07:38.199 --> 02:07:40.960 just this is an argument, like you're wrong and I'm right, 2783 02:07:41.159 --> 02:07:44.239 but like at the end of the day, like I'm 2784 02:07:44.880 --> 02:07:48.000 we're a team. I think it helps to like even 2785 02:07:48.079 --> 02:07:50.840 at your when you really think, like when you're being 2786 02:07:50.880 --> 02:07:53.239 stubborn or whatever, it's like, I think you should throw 2787 02:07:53.279 --> 02:07:55.319 some breadcrumbs to remind then it's like, hey, I am 2788 02:07:55.439 --> 02:07:58.479 thinking about you, I am thinking about us just arguing 2789 02:07:58.560 --> 02:08:00.319 right now, but also like at the of the day 2790 02:08:00.319 --> 02:08:01.720 we're on the same team. I'm still gonna say I 2791 02:08:01.720 --> 02:08:03.119 love you before we go to bed and whatever. So 2792 02:08:03.239 --> 02:08:07.079 like it's just it's more like letting things go. And 2793 02:08:07.159 --> 02:08:09.520 both Aman and I are very very forgiving people, and 2794 02:08:09.600 --> 02:08:12.319 we really don't argue often, despite like me saying all this, 2795 02:08:12.520 --> 02:08:14.479 like but we are just can. 2796 02:08:15.199 --> 02:08:18.039 Say this because people hide away from that type of thing, 2797 02:08:18.159 --> 02:08:19.760 But that is an honest relationship. 2798 02:08:20.359 --> 02:08:22.439 It I to be clear, I was one of those 2799 02:08:22.479 --> 02:08:24.399 people before I met Amanda. I was like the people 2800 02:08:24.439 --> 02:08:26.520 who say their best friend is their spouse or such 2801 02:08:26.760 --> 02:08:29.079 or their partner. It's like that's such horseshit, shut up, 2802 02:08:29.720 --> 02:08:32.159 but that's bullshit. And now that I'm there, I'm like, 2803 02:08:32.319 --> 02:08:34.560 oh god, I really I get it, Like she really is. 2804 02:08:34.680 --> 02:08:37.319 We do literally everything together. But even like Dan mentioned, 2805 02:08:37.319 --> 02:08:38.800 when we're doing our own things. When I'm back here 2806 02:08:38.840 --> 02:08:42.239 playing video games, she's stitching out front. Like I'll go 2807 02:08:42.359 --> 02:08:44.960 out and like hang out and it's like, oh yeah, 2808 02:08:45.119 --> 02:08:48.159 it's it's great, but I guess it's just like there's 2809 02:08:49.359 --> 02:08:52.520 you're spending every waking not every waking moment, but you're 2810 02:08:52.840 --> 02:08:55.840 spending a shit ton of time with someone. You're two humans. 2811 02:08:56.319 --> 02:09:01.479 You are going to disagree, it's going to it's going 2812 02:09:01.600 --> 02:09:04.359 to cause like some friction every once in a while, 2813 02:09:04.399 --> 02:09:06.560 you're gonna disagree, or like you're gonna need space like 2814 02:09:06.640 --> 02:09:09.319 Dan mentioned, or you know you're gonna have one person's 2815 02:09:09.319 --> 02:09:12.119 gonna have hard times. Like you said, Mary, I'm always 2816 02:09:12.199 --> 02:09:14.840 very bad at asking for help. I'm very good at 2817 02:09:14.880 --> 02:09:16.159 like giving it to a man, and she's very good 2818 02:09:16.159 --> 02:09:18.159 at giving to me. I'm very bad at asking. I've 2819 02:09:18.239 --> 02:09:20.000 I've learned to get better at asking for it because 2820 02:09:20.000 --> 02:09:24.640 she's always like, you need to do that. But again, 2821 02:09:24.760 --> 02:09:27.079 I think it's like, just as often as you can 2822 02:09:27.399 --> 02:09:30.520 remember that it's not gonna be perfect. There is no perfect, 2823 02:09:30.720 --> 02:09:34.479 but there is I think in the imperfection there's a 2824 02:09:34.600 --> 02:09:39.880 lot of space to remind the other person's like I 2825 02:09:40.000 --> 02:09:42.640 might be annoyed right now, might be pissed, but like, 2826 02:09:43.760 --> 02:09:45.720 I'm still here for you. And if you if you 2827 02:09:45.840 --> 02:09:48.520 literally said, like this this argument sucks, I really need 2828 02:09:48.600 --> 02:09:50.439 to like Okay, cool, that's fine, we'll let it go. 2829 02:09:51.439 --> 02:09:55.079 I think a really important trait to have or ability 2830 02:09:55.119 --> 02:09:57.800 to have is you know, disagreements are going to happen 2831 02:09:57.880 --> 02:10:02.159 with any relationship or marriage, and and to have the 2832 02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:07.119 know to be able to come back afterwards, maybe if 2833 02:10:07.159 --> 02:10:09.119 it's an hour, a day or a week after a 2834 02:10:09.199 --> 02:10:12.920 disagreement or something, upon thinking about things and sleeping on things, 2835 02:10:13.119 --> 02:10:16.159 to say like, hey, I've been thinking about this thing, 2836 02:10:16.359 --> 02:10:18.199 I was in the wrong with this, or I overreacted 2837 02:10:18.239 --> 02:10:20.279 to this thing, or you know, I'm sorry I didn't 2838 02:10:20.359 --> 02:10:22.600 see this, or you know, like just to be able 2839 02:10:22.680 --> 02:10:25.279 to like analyze yourself as well and also just be like, 2840 02:10:25.880 --> 02:10:28.359 you know, just like you were right, Like you know, 2841 02:10:28.399 --> 02:10:30.800 it might not be every disagreement or anything like that, 2842 02:10:30.920 --> 02:10:34.600 but like to be willing to look at the way 2843 02:10:34.960 --> 02:10:37.479 you've acted and be like I was wrong with that 2844 02:10:37.680 --> 02:10:40.439 like that. I think that's an important ability to have. 2845 02:10:41.159 --> 02:10:45.520 Yeah, humbling yourself is so necessary in a relationship. 2846 02:10:45.840 --> 02:10:47.760 You have to be able to really. 2847 02:10:49.039 --> 02:10:52.079 Like dive deep into yourself and acknowledge when you've been 2848 02:10:52.119 --> 02:10:55.039 wrong and things like that. And to that point, I'd 2849 02:10:55.079 --> 02:10:58.039 also love to take this opportunity to reduce the stigma 2850 02:10:58.159 --> 02:11:03.039 associated with counseling or going to a therapist and say 2851 02:11:03.119 --> 02:11:08.960 that couple's therapy is so awesome. It is so normal 2852 02:11:09.199 --> 02:11:12.840 and cool and worth doing. And it is not a 2853 02:11:12.960 --> 02:11:16.159 thing for like couples in trouble or like something that's bad. 2854 02:11:16.680 --> 02:11:20.800 Do it now, Do it now, and like start talking 2855 02:11:20.840 --> 02:11:22.800 to each other with a person there. That'll be like 2856 02:11:23.119 --> 02:11:25.039 tell me more about why you love this other person. 2857 02:11:25.439 --> 02:11:29.560 It will give you literally sixty minutes excuse to talk 2858 02:11:29.600 --> 02:11:31.399 to each other and look at each other and like 2859 02:11:31.560 --> 02:11:34.840 answer questions about each other. It's awesome, it's super worth doing. 2860 02:11:34.960 --> 02:11:38.239 And I think like there's still an associated stigma, not 2861 02:11:38.439 --> 02:11:40.600 just with couples therapy, but with therapy in general, which 2862 02:11:40.680 --> 02:11:41.560 is like what are you fixing? 2863 02:11:41.640 --> 02:11:43.760 And it's like nothing, like you've already lost if you're 2864 02:11:43.760 --> 02:11:45.279 going to therapy totally. 2865 02:11:45.119 --> 02:11:49.880 No is like going to get a physical just to 2866 02:11:50.319 --> 02:11:50.920 check in, you know. 2867 02:11:51.079 --> 02:11:53.880 Yeah, yeah, it's it's like the best money I ever 2868 02:11:53.960 --> 02:11:57.680 spent because it gave me a good reason to talk 2869 02:11:58.359 --> 02:12:02.039 about the relation and about what was going on, and 2870 02:12:02.159 --> 02:12:04.720 it gave me like an excuse, like a good reason 2871 02:12:04.760 --> 02:12:06.640 to be like, oh yeah, I'm supposed to use this 2872 02:12:06.800 --> 02:12:10.079 time to just talk to you. It's awesome, so worth it, 2873 02:12:10.239 --> 02:12:12.840 So like I don't know who needs to hear this, 2874 02:12:13.119 --> 02:12:16.479 but like the therapy is rad it's super worth every 2875 02:12:16.600 --> 02:12:18.880 dime that you spend. Sometimes you need to find like 2876 02:12:18.960 --> 02:12:21.960 the right person. There's like a good caveat to that 2877 02:12:22.399 --> 02:12:24.319 not every therapist is for everyone, so you got to 2878 02:12:24.359 --> 02:12:27.880 find your person. But I feel very strongly to reduce 2879 02:12:27.960 --> 02:12:31.880 the stigma that therapy is great and worth doing and 2880 02:12:31.960 --> 02:12:32.920 it's not to fix you. 2881 02:12:33.079 --> 02:12:33.319 It is. 2882 02:12:33.680 --> 02:12:35.760 It is a maintenance or just like a four year 2883 02:12:35.800 --> 02:12:37.239 well being, So like check it out. 2884 02:12:38.199 --> 02:12:41.239 Yeah, I imagine it's I know for a fact, it's 2885 02:12:41.279 --> 02:12:44.359 like deep conversations, even between two people who are like 2886 02:12:44.720 --> 02:12:46.600 love each other and who are best friends, don't just 2887 02:12:46.720 --> 02:12:49.279 come up naturally all that often. So like to go 2888 02:12:49.399 --> 02:12:51.920 to a space where that's what you're there for seems 2889 02:12:51.960 --> 02:12:55.560 like a good like freeing kind of thing. It's also 2890 02:12:55.640 --> 02:12:59.439 getting away from the day to day his job, her job, 2891 02:12:59.479 --> 02:13:02.880 their job, like here, hobbies or whatever. Getting away from 2892 02:13:02.880 --> 02:13:05.439 that seems like it be a good like space to 2893 02:13:05.479 --> 02:13:05.680 get to. 2894 02:13:07.119 --> 02:13:10.600 My therapist will frequently tell me stories about when he 2895 02:13:10.840 --> 02:13:13.359 was just a wild man in New Jersey and going 2896 02:13:13.439 --> 02:13:16.159 to his friend's bar and there's snorting lines of coke 2897 02:13:16.279 --> 02:13:19.279 off a literal rocket launcher that his friend bought from 2898 02:13:19.319 --> 02:13:21.840 the Russians because he thought cops were coming to shut 2899 02:13:21.920 --> 02:13:23.640 down his bar, and so they did a bunch of 2900 02:13:23.720 --> 02:13:29.199 blow a rocket launcher.

Shit. 3044 02:21:11.319 --> 02:21:13.479 It's such a wonderful feeling when I give someone a 3045 02:21:13.559 --> 02:21:16.959 recommendation that like, that was a bomb recommendation. Ben Hansen 3046 02:21:17.079 --> 02:21:22.840 was recently here from mid Max. They went to Panic. 3047 02:21:23.360 --> 02:21:25.719 I'll never forget. This is so embarrassing. They texted me 3048 02:21:25.760 --> 02:21:27.479 and said, Hey, I'm coming to Portland so that I 3049 02:21:27.600 --> 02:21:31.440 can go to Panic. So we should meet up at 3050 02:21:31.479 --> 02:21:35.719 some point. And I read picnic.

And I think he wrote back 3058 02:21:59.559 --> 02:22:03.200 was like what And I was like, Oh, I thought 3059 02:22:03.239 --> 02:22:05.280 you were coming to Picnic, but it sounds like you 3060 02:22:05.360 --> 02:22:08.760 were coming to go to Panic. Don't tell anyone that 3061 02:22:08.879 --> 02:22:14.440 I said this to you, and I believe he did 3062 02:22:14.520 --> 02:22:18.280 tell everyone. So thanks for nothing better. We went to 3063 02:22:18.360 --> 02:22:20.879 dinner and they asked for a recommendation of where to 3064 02:22:20.959 --> 02:22:23.159 go to dinner, and I said, We're going to Reel 3065 02:22:23.239 --> 02:22:26.719 them In, which is a dive ass dive bar that 3066 02:22:26.920 --> 02:22:30.280 makes fried chicken and I think the best fried chicken 3067 02:22:30.319 --> 02:22:33.079 in Portland.

As I am driving around on episode ninety, 3215 02:29:35.120 --> 02:29:38.040 I was shocked to hear guests Jeff g mentioned the 3216 02:29:38.120 --> 02:29:42.840 Holiday Valley Ski Resort, as it is only forty five 3217 02:29:42.879 --> 02:29:46.079 minutes from my house and where my high school ski 3218 02:29:46.159 --> 02:29:49.079 club went every Sunday in the winter. I was more 3219 02:29:49.159 --> 02:29:52.520 shocked to hear that Jeff was an avid snowboarder. What 3220 02:29:52.639 --> 02:29:54.719 do you all think is your most shocking skill or 3221 02:29:54.799 --> 02:29:58.040 hobby that people wouldn't guess from your podcast personas that's 3222 02:29:58.360 --> 02:30:05.479 Aaron from Warren, Pennsylvania. Yeah, I feel like I'm in 3223 02:30:05.719 --> 02:30:08.200 ninety podcasts a week, so I feel like there's not 3224 02:30:08.280 --> 02:30:10.120 a lot that would like. So there are certain things 3225 02:30:10.120 --> 02:30:12.680 that I maybe just don't bring up a lot because 3226 02:30:13.719 --> 02:30:15.799 there's not a lot to like update on. Like I 3227 02:30:15.959 --> 02:30:18.959 meditate a lot, I run a lot. I you know, 3228 02:30:19.079 --> 02:30:21.120 like there's not I think. 3229 02:30:21.159 --> 02:30:23.479 Author is something a lot of people would not associate 3230 02:30:23.559 --> 02:30:26.360 with you. I think people would not naturally assume that 3231 02:30:26.479 --> 02:30:28.000 you have written multiple books. 3232 02:30:28.559 --> 02:30:30.399 I guess it's been a while since it's been almost 3233 02:30:30.399 --> 02:30:33.520 ten years since I wrote one. But yeah, and I 3234 02:30:33.559 --> 02:30:34.239 guess two of them. 3235 02:30:34.159 --> 02:30:36.040 Were the first author. I think that's shocking. 3236 02:30:36.319 --> 02:30:40.040 Self published anyone can do that. 3237 02:30:40.600 --> 02:30:43.879 You were on the Dan Times bestseller list. 3238 02:30:44.360 --> 02:30:48.799 Yeah, I would the Anxiety book. I am constantly surprised 3239 02:30:48.840 --> 02:30:50.840 by how many people come up to me and talk 3240 02:30:50.879 --> 02:30:52.920 about how that like got them to start meditating or 3241 02:30:53.000 --> 02:30:55.840 doing yoga or you know, like getting their anxiety and 3242 02:30:55.920 --> 02:30:58.959 check because like, you know, I've wrote those Air Force 3243 02:30:59.040 --> 02:31:02.200 Gater books and they were the joke, dumb them. The 3244 02:31:02.239 --> 02:31:04.200 whole point was, wouldn't it be dumb if I wrote 3245 02:31:04.200 --> 02:31:06.600 a whole book about an alligator in the air Force 3246 02:31:06.879 --> 02:31:08.399 that so it was a bit, it was a joke, 3247 02:31:09.040 --> 02:31:11.079 but the Anxiety one, it's like, holy shit, like that 3248 02:31:11.280 --> 02:31:14.799 wound up being like one of the biggest things I've 3249 02:31:14.840 --> 02:31:17.959 ever put out there that it actually helped people. And 3250 02:31:18.040 --> 02:31:20.200 I hear every fucking time I go to a packs 3251 02:31:20.680 --> 02:31:23.159 or anything, like the amount of messages and people come 3252 02:31:23.200 --> 02:31:25.239 out to me to talk about that. It's like, man, 3253 02:31:25.360 --> 02:31:27.799 I'm that and I always tell them, I always say 3254 02:31:27.840 --> 02:31:29.200 the same thing I always say, like that is my 3255 02:31:29.280 --> 02:31:33.239 favorite feedback to here is that, you know, because it's 3256 02:31:33.360 --> 02:31:34.680 fun to like go on and make a bunch of 3257 02:31:34.799 --> 02:31:37.079 jokes about video games and you know, farts or whatever. 3258 02:31:38.120 --> 02:31:42.520 But to hear that I got someone to do something 3259 02:31:42.600 --> 02:31:45.159 that put them in a better space mentally or made 3260 02:31:45.200 --> 02:31:49.479 them understand or acknowledge or go after treatment for their anxiety, 3261 02:31:49.920 --> 02:31:52.239 like that is, uh, that is my favorite thing to hear, 3262 02:31:52.280 --> 02:31:54.920 and I've heard it a lot. So yeah, I guess 3263 02:31:54.959 --> 02:31:59.959 that Anxiety Book was a very big part of my life. 3264 02:32:00.280 --> 02:32:02.200 And I don't even call it career. It was a 3265 02:32:02.280 --> 02:32:05.559 project I did. But yeah, I'm very very proud of that. 3266 02:32:09.159 --> 02:32:12.840 Mike, Well, it's tough because we Yeah, we talk about 3267 02:32:13.520 --> 02:32:17.399 most of it here. I guess it's less like the 3268 02:32:17.520 --> 02:32:21.000 one podcast people wouldn't associate me with, and it's more 3269 02:32:21.719 --> 02:32:24.440 what do I talk about the least on here? Uh, 3270 02:32:24.680 --> 02:32:27.959 you guys spend our apartment. I spend a fair amount 3271 02:32:28.000 --> 02:32:32.639 of time every week, like gardening. It's indoor, but like 3272 02:32:32.799 --> 02:32:35.319 it comes from growing up gardening and growing up with 3273 02:32:35.479 --> 02:32:39.840 two grandpas who were farmers. So like, I don't talk 3274 02:32:39.879 --> 02:32:42.120 about my I don't know. I don't find the need 3275 02:32:42.200 --> 02:32:44.760 to talk about my like plants and shit. 3276 02:32:45.600 --> 02:32:48.840 But I keep on Instagram, and it's the wine and cats. 3277 02:32:48.879 --> 02:32:52.200 I don't see a lot of gardening gardening tips. 3278 02:32:52.479 --> 02:32:55.360 Yeah, yeah, I think at this point people who listen 3279 02:32:55.360 --> 02:32:57.639 to Fireescape associate me with wine. But I don't think 3280 02:32:58.920 --> 02:33:01.520 did I freeze? All Right, Well, I'm gonna keep going 3281 02:33:01.520 --> 02:33:01.840 because I. 3282 02:33:04.879 --> 02:33:06.719 Reason we just tend to do that. 3283 02:33:08.879 --> 02:33:11.079 No, I'd say it's I say it's plants or something. 3284 02:33:11.200 --> 02:33:12.760 He's back, He's back. 3285 02:33:13.000 --> 02:33:15.479 Maybe I'm going to keep talking anytime this happens, because 3286 02:33:17.200 --> 02:33:18.799 the recording is not going to be freezing. 3287 02:33:20.479 --> 02:33:21.799 It catches up, It catches up. 3288 02:33:21.920 --> 02:33:25.440 Yeah, but yeah, I don't think anybody here knows I'm 3289 02:33:25.520 --> 02:33:27.319 I like wine a lot. I think that's news. 3290 02:33:30.559 --> 02:33:33.360 Well, yeah, you don't know about. 3291 02:33:34.840 --> 02:33:34.879 No. 3292 02:33:35.120 --> 02:33:38.440 Yeah, such an enigma, Mike, I know, yeah, I don't know. 3293 02:33:38.799 --> 02:33:42.040 Do you play that guitar that's clearly in your background. 3294 02:33:45.360 --> 02:33:49.680 No, I'm terrible at it on a mandolin, it's not 3295 02:33:49.760 --> 02:33:55.399 a guitar, just like a Venetian cover of Smoke on 3296 02:33:55.440 --> 02:33:55.719 the Water. 3297 02:33:56.319 --> 02:33:56.520 Yeah. 3298 02:33:57.079 --> 02:33:58.799 No, I try it every once in a while, but 3299 02:33:58.920 --> 02:34:01.920 I don't really play that that much. 3300 02:34:02.520 --> 02:34:05.719 I think, like if you, if we people doing what 3301 02:34:05.840 --> 02:34:08.639 we do when we're on podcasts a bunch, you have 3302 02:34:08.840 --> 02:34:11.799 to make a concerted effort to just say, okay, this 3303 02:34:12.000 --> 02:34:13.799 is a thing I'm sectioning off and I'm not talking 3304 02:34:13.799 --> 02:34:16.719 about And like I do feel like I've kind of 3305 02:34:17.040 --> 02:34:18.799 put it all out there for a long time, Like 3306 02:34:18.879 --> 02:34:21.200 I don't. I can't think of something where it's like, 3307 02:34:21.280 --> 02:34:24.120 oh wait, people hear that I'm really into, you know, 3308 02:34:24.879 --> 02:34:26.520 going to meteorology school. I don't know. 3309 02:34:26.639 --> 02:34:29.280 Like this goes through my like social media feeds as well. 3310 02:34:29.399 --> 02:34:33.840 I do not I do not post about exercise ever, 3311 02:34:34.559 --> 02:34:36.799 but I spend a decent amount of time doing it. 3312 02:34:37.159 --> 02:34:38.959 I've thought about that with you, because like you do, 3313 02:34:39.799 --> 02:34:41.360 I know you work out a lot I've heard you 3314 02:34:41.479 --> 02:34:43.159 you'll you'll message me about. 3315 02:34:43.040 --> 02:34:44.440 Like, yeah, work out too. 3316 02:34:44.600 --> 02:34:48.520 You're actually very active and Mike always looks cut and 3317 02:34:48.639 --> 02:34:50.559 I recently lost ten pounds. 3318 02:34:50.280 --> 02:34:51.159 So that's something we all want. 3319 02:34:51.879 --> 02:34:55.360 Yeah, it's not something we we post about. I think 3320 02:34:55.399 --> 02:34:57.319 it's like, I mean, I don't want to put words 3321 02:34:57.319 --> 02:34:58.760 in your mouth, but I find it to be a 3322 02:34:58.799 --> 02:35:01.600 meditative thing. I feel like moment I start making it 3323 02:35:01.719 --> 02:35:05.159 social and public, it ceases to be a relaxing thing. Yeah. 3324 02:35:05.200 --> 02:35:07.079 Yeah, and that's that. It Also, I feel like it 3325 02:35:07.120 --> 02:35:09.520 would come across as like kind of misturbatory. Is that 3326 02:35:09.600 --> 02:35:11.280 how you said that word? Yeah, of just like look 3327 02:35:11.280 --> 02:35:14.520 at me, like you know, the gym selv type stuff like, yeah, 3328 02:35:14.639 --> 02:35:17.280 I'm never gonna post a sweaty thing post run just 3329 02:35:17.319 --> 02:35:18.159 way eight miles. 3330 02:35:18.399 --> 02:35:21.360 Yeah, I know, I want to acknowledge. I know some 3331 02:35:21.440 --> 02:35:23.520 people do it to keep themselves accountable to. 3332 02:35:23.639 --> 02:35:26.200 Like, it's also totally fine yea. 3333 02:35:27.280 --> 02:35:30.120 For me, Yes for me, I agree with you, Dan, 3334 02:35:30.239 --> 02:35:32.559 I never want to do that because for me personally, 3335 02:35:32.680 --> 02:35:35.079 that is a world away from things. It's like an 3336 02:35:35.239 --> 02:35:39.159 hour hour twenty every day or or five six days 3337 02:35:39.159 --> 02:35:41.719 a week when I can just get away from social media, 3338 02:35:41.799 --> 02:35:43.879 get away. Well, I'm not on social media much, but 3339 02:35:44.040 --> 02:35:46.920 like get away from video games, get away from work, 3340 02:35:46.959 --> 02:35:50.959 from errands, from house stuff, handiwork, it's I don't it's 3341 02:35:51.000 --> 02:35:53.280 not something I want to talk about because it's yeah, 3342 02:35:53.280 --> 02:35:53.680 it's for me. 3343 02:35:55.079 --> 02:35:57.280 Yeah that that That's a good example of that, because 3344 02:35:57.319 --> 02:35:58.879 it's something that I think we all do on a 3345 02:35:58.959 --> 02:36:02.159 regular basis, but we talk about it infrequently at best. 3346 02:36:02.360 --> 02:36:05.079 You know, like I'm not going to update on the 3347 02:36:05.200 --> 02:36:07.159 runs every week on the podcast or anything like that, 3348 02:36:07.280 --> 02:36:09.239 but like it is a big part of my life 3349 02:36:09.280 --> 02:36:10.319 and something I think about a lot. 3350 02:36:11.159 --> 02:36:15.040 Yeah, I'm also I love to run. 3351 02:36:15.559 --> 02:36:18.520 That is something for me and I very rarely post 3352 02:36:18.559 --> 02:36:20.399 about it or update about it because it is like 3353 02:36:20.479 --> 02:36:22.639 a zen thing that I get to do for me 3354 02:36:22.840 --> 02:36:25.559 and it's not for other people. Other things that I 3355 02:36:25.680 --> 02:36:27.520 really rarely ever talk about but I do is that 3356 02:36:27.559 --> 02:36:31.000 I'm a serial hobbyist in the sense that I do 3357 02:36:31.159 --> 02:36:36.559 a lot of hobbies not not to get good at it, 3358 02:36:36.680 --> 02:36:39.479 but just because I find it to be appealing. And 3359 02:36:39.600 --> 02:36:43.040 those things include, but are not limited to, making crap 3360 02:36:43.120 --> 02:36:51.040 out of clay, water color, felt needling, cross stitching. I 3361 02:36:51.200 --> 02:36:53.920 make shit out of stained glass, that's right, and I 3362 02:36:54.079 --> 02:36:58.760 don't post about them because it's not for anything besides. 3363 02:36:59.319 --> 02:37:02.760 I think it's good or my brain and it helps 3364 02:37:02.840 --> 02:37:05.680 me pass the time in a nice way, and I 3365 02:37:05.799 --> 02:37:07.799 really encourage other people to do it. You do not 3366 02:37:08.319 --> 02:37:11.840 need to make your hobby a side hustle that you 3367 02:37:11.959 --> 02:37:14.799 make money off of or something that you post about 3368 02:37:15.360 --> 02:37:19.079 for social media. It can just be because you wanted 3369 02:37:19.159 --> 02:37:22.000 to paint it, and good for you and make that 3370 02:37:22.200 --> 02:37:25.200 little thing. And you can also just not love it 3371 02:37:25.639 --> 02:37:28.399 because it's not super cute and that's fine. But if 3372 02:37:28.440 --> 02:37:31.360 it helped you pass the day and it gave you 3373 02:37:31.440 --> 02:37:34.200 something to think about besides your job, then that's a win. 3374 02:37:34.440 --> 02:37:34.760 Baby. 3375 02:37:35.159 --> 02:37:37.200 So I just think like sometimes we put a lot 3376 02:37:37.200 --> 02:37:38.719 of pressure on ourselves that like we need to be 3377 02:37:38.760 --> 02:37:40.479 really good at our hobbies. I think you can be 3378 02:37:40.520 --> 02:37:44.239 absolutely asked at your hobbies and that's also successful as 3379 02:37:44.239 --> 02:37:46.719 long as it stopped you from thinking about stressful things. 3380 02:37:48.440 --> 02:37:48.920 I agree. 3381 02:37:49.280 --> 02:37:54.479 Hell yeah, thank you Aaron from Pennsylvania. That's our show. 3382 02:37:56.760 --> 02:37:58.959 Everybody you can read that was a good show. Yeah, 3383 02:37:59.040 --> 02:38:03.719 Firescape cast more questions, send them in. It's good. 3384 02:38:03.840 --> 02:38:04.760 I could rate that show. 3385 02:38:05.120 --> 02:38:08.040 I would have rated it five stars because I think 3386 02:38:08.120 --> 02:38:11.239 that it was really charismatic and fun, and we went 3387 02:38:11.280 --> 02:38:13.840 a really long time and I enjoyed doing it with 3388 02:38:13.920 --> 02:38:16.040 all of you. Five stars for Dan and five stars 3389 02:38:16.079 --> 02:38:16.440 for Mike. 3390 02:38:17.159 --> 02:38:19.959 I'm a ten point guy. I prefer ten point scales, 3391 02:38:20.000 --> 02:38:22.680 and I'm also very protective of the ten. So I'll 3392 02:38:22.840 --> 02:38:23.719 say nine point five. 3393 02:38:25.159 --> 02:38:27.079 That's not a ten point scale. That's a twenty point 3394 02:38:27.120 --> 02:38:29.000 scale because you did a point system within. 3395 02:38:29.200 --> 02:38:31.799 Nine point Oh sorry, wait no, no game in form 3396 02:38:32.079 --> 02:38:35.280 forty point scale, forty point scale, nine point five.
