Speaker 1: Get up the bags, get bags, get off the face.
Speaker 2: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the six hundred
and eighty seventh episode of the geek First podcast. I
am the clown Prints Podcast. Trust now that I'm joined by.
Speaker 3: Your friendly neighborhood caster Kirkland Patzer.
Speaker 4: I am the G to the PT Taylor Field G
to the p T.
Speaker 2: I don't understand you, tired.
Speaker 4: Did I get the Did I get the letters wrong
and the wrong order? No? I got I think it's
t GP t GP, No, No, it's g G p T.
Speaker 5: I can't believe you believe me? There that dad brain.
Speaker 4: It's just kidding. Yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 2: Shut Anyways, very very important episode here tonight today. Whenever
you're listening to this, maybe you're listening to this next year.
Who knows, maybe you're a time traveler and you listen
to it in the past. You're going on to the
fore and tell us, don't do this. You're gonna get canceled.
But what's gonna happen in this cast? Yes, Joe, this
is the town hall. We were talking about making it
like a newscast town hall, but we're not gonna cause
there wasn't too much like big news to talk about
and sometimes the town hall, like there can be some
talking points. So and I know we'll probably go roughly
a nowur maybe a little longer and whatnot. But what
we do every year is we put in a survey
and then we kind of meet up and it's a
good kind of like over all the year because we
just reaffirm what's going to happen in the year, some content,
what we're doing on Patreon this year, and just for
any new listeners, because there's definitely some questions that we've
gone in there that we've definitely talked about in the past.
I think the core people that have been here since
twenty sixteen and a honoring in the past couple of years,
like post COVID. I feel like once you've been here
for about two years, you kind of know the rundown, right,
So there's a couple questions like, Okay, we'll reaffirm that
because maybe we don't say that enough on a cast
and everything. So what we did is a couple of
weeks ago, was seventeen days exactly, we put out the
survey and people answered and they're all anonymous. So we
like that because everybody can be honest. So they have
any critiques and we like to get those. Obviously, there
was a lot of critiques on Dylan. So that's the
first announcement the town hall that he is no longer
with key. First we collectively together and use there seventy
five percent the shares and said you gotta go.
Speaker 3: We just there as well spent. Some would say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and he just he he took it
pretty easy. He just sent me this as a respond
so it was mutual because he said he wanted to
get away. So, yeah, Dylan's no longer with us. We're
gonna figure ot what we're doing with side quest. So yeah,
well we'll.
Speaker 4: Get more in sbubs. Right, he doesn't know it yet,
but he's actually gonna take it over.
Speaker 2: Really, that's fascinating. What's gonna happen with my gimmick co host?
Speaker 4: You know, well, Dylan's going over there.
Speaker 2: Actually, Dylan's gonna be on the on the gimmick. But yeah,
I'll talk more about side quests later. But yeah, we
got lots of survey results and we're gonna talk about
just geek perst in general and stuff. So I will say,
and this is what before we get into everything else.
We did get tons of very I feel like every
year we do get positive feedback, but I feel like
this year people would another way to give it overtly,
almost too much positive feedback. I don't know if that's
because it's our ten year. I don't know if that's
because maybe some of the newer people we got are nicer.
I don't know. Maybe people are just liking the content
we've done on Patreon and the feed so very appreciative.
There might be some comments, critiques, or questions that have
that stuff in there, so that's the point. But I'm
not gonna read all the positive stuff because, as I said,
interest really, I don't want this to be a glaze fest.
I'm just saying we're all very appreciative. It's the best
one I hear. I heard this a lot last year,
so hopefully people are okay, always talk to your friends, family,
get help. But I feel like we got a lot
of Hey, life's tough, or I don't know that many
friends talked about the stuff, or my job just sucks
and you guys help me get through it. That for
me is the best compliment, because I think we've all
been there at times where whether your job just sucks,
or you got that long ass, especially me, long ass
bus ride from maybe at a home to a job
you hate. So that's anytime I had that as a
podcast that you just escape, even for an hour, and
all of us are really appreciated that we can do
that for you. So thank you everybody for the very
kind words. You guys were way too nice. And oh geez,
I thought we took out his when we bought his shares.
I thought we took out his stream yard log Oh
so we Dale, and we forgot to tell you.
Speaker 5: We were just such a clever singer.
Speaker 2: We just told her about the shares, so you got
to give us your stream yard loggins. But we Tarres
proposed a trade that Spub's gonna host side Quest now
and you're gonna be coming on the Gimmick with me
and David every two weeks.
Speaker 5: Well, I might go to that wrestling show with you,
So I do want to at least come on one
episode of the Gimmick so you can tell me the
storylines that I need to know.
Speaker 2: I'll go to that show, and you did. I was
on the topics too.
Speaker 5: But I don't want to give up side Quest. I'm sorry, bud.
Speaker 2: So, but no, we're here, so no, we're just saying
that I feel like this year, people in their comments
about being nice, we're almost overly nice this year, Like
I feel like lots of times.
Speaker 5: Been auspiciously nice for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's for me, Like what happened? Like do they
know something we don't know? Like that time travel? Like
usually like good job, keep up the work. Sometimes there's
people ran like two paragraphs about how much I enjoy
the podcast, So we very much appreciate that. So yeah,
before we get into the nitty gritty, I just want
to go around and kirkmst are you what have you
felt about the last year podcast? Obviously two than twenty
five was a really good year for us. We had
our ten year. We end up raising twenty thousand overall
for Extra Life. Pyquist had its biggest soul feed. Review
Feed had the biggest soul feed. GV had its third
biggest year, which is pretty good because the past few
years have been like more like up and down and whatnot.
So it's getting back into those those big history making months.
So obviously lots of success there, but success there. But
how are you feeling right now? As Kirkham pats.
Speaker 3: Are as of right now, I'm feel a little overwhelmed.
I'm right near in the end of my school course.
But podcast wise and just looking back in the year,
and I should say, it's all good.
Speaker 5: Everything's good.
Speaker 3: It's a good level of stress of just stuff's ramping up.
It's not like anything negative but first world stress like
that is yeah, exactly exactly. But looking back on the year,
especially as a part, I mean even personal, last year
was kind of a big year for me. I went
on a big adventure left the continent. That was nice
personal uh stuff. But then yeah, getting to the podcast,
I feel like there was it always happens we do these,
like looking back on the previous years. It's just like
a time warp happened, Like it just kind of blended
together in weird ways where I feel like portions of
the year felt like it went by really fast and
then it slowed down and then went by really fast again,
so it was just like a stutter step. I don't
know if that's like the content that we were covering,
whether it was like getting excited for big MCU project,
but like that's at the start of the year and
then like waiting for something else that kind of stripped.
Speaker 2: The world that big exciting MU project. You gotta getting
up to it.
Speaker 3: It was exciting, you know, big big project. Afterwards it
kind of kind of dwindled. But yeah, and like correct
me if I'm wrong, But like Taylor and I did
our Daredevil retro finally last was that last year?
Speaker 5: Is that two years?
Speaker 2: You now?
Speaker 5: I feel like it's just it feels so.
Speaker 3: Long ago when we did that, and you know, of
course there's a nice exciting one brewing now for.
Speaker 2: The mon Yeah, you guys recording next Sunday. It says
in the count right.
Speaker 4: I didn't put that in there? Did you put that
in there? Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, that was Travis. He's trying to choose when.
Speaker 4: Push that to twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Just reminder these guys tried to wait and wait, wait
a second though, did you guys push your two bread
and Butter as well? Oh my god, Til and An
inside out. There's one time they're hosting Weekly Geek and
I said, like, Okay, you guys gonna have the night
off because there's really nothing or you guys could record
your Bread and Butter in the future, because we'll talk
about that. But we're doing this year for the producers,
there's twelve bread and butters. There's six that are everybody
together the fore man or at least the three. If
we can get to do like everybody to line up,
we try to, and then there's gonna be duo. So
like a castle me and Dill and Castle Kirkland Taylor
cast with Me and Kirkland, et cetera. So I said,
you guys could do this or you could do bread
and Butter, and the kirklam was busy, so let's just
not do that. And I'm like, okay, I'll just move
it because I know you guys are gonna forget and
like no, no, no, like we're gonna you don't even
have to mind us. We're gonna we're gonna record it.
Even before you say so. One they hit the point
where it was scheduled, so they were wrong already and
now they're already pushing it back. It's fine, it has
to be done by January, but like they they were
big league, maybe be like, oh we're gonna record it,
like what you're just gonna see in the feeds. Big wow.
I'm really impressed that did not happen. So nice, try
as I look at the schedule now and you guys
pushed it, So.
Speaker 5: You guys still work shopping the topic for the Oh no,
we got topics there.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think we're just gonna choose, yeah, choose
steel feel as we get going, but do we feel
maybe splice them together?
Speaker 2: Who knows?
Speaker 4: But where was that going with that?
Speaker 3: Getting back to just yeah, looking on the podcast and
I feel like a big thing, I mean you said
at the start, was just like seeing maybe the downloads
or like what people were getting interested in on like
like a certain episodes. It just it definitely felt like
the overall title shift was like in the upward direction
this year. I feel like I don't like to just
like pay attention to every episode like day of like
like what's it doing? But it is nice to look
back I don't know, quarterly or just whatever and just
be like, Wow's that's pretty crazy that, for whatever reason,
multiple factors, it is training in the upwards direction, which
which is always nice to see but also just surprising,
like what people are really really I don't know, getting
their fingers on on like what like what was the
alien reviews was a lot higher than two of.
Speaker 2: Them are talked in. Yeah, and for a while, like
the twenty eight days or twenty eight years later was
there number one, which is like I didn't have that
pegged happening, you know, so and as where it shows
this year, like looking at the trajectory, this episode's like
done well, but nowhere as much as the first one.
That probably explains in that box office too, but you
just never you never know sometimes what people are listened
to or what the algorithm pushes of course too.
Speaker 3: So yeah, no, absolutely so, I don't even know why
I was going down that tangent. But looking forward to
this year, I feel like I'm even more excited because
of like knowing my own personal interest in the topics
that are coming out, like like just big movies or
or whatnot. Yeah, it's just like exciting stuff across the board,
Like even like obviously it's so fun to be watching
it and then reviewing what you guys are talking about
on the podcast doing whatever. But just like I feel
like across the board, general audience hype is heightened for
what's coming out this year movie, TV, video games, obviously
the big one being GTA if it comes out this year,
hopefully it does so a draft but uh yeah, I'm
very I don't want to say like I'm more optimistic
than I normally am. I feel like I'm always excited
and positive going into the new year, especially for podcast
focused But yeah, I know, I really am. I'm pumped
for what's to come. And we're still here. Dylan, maybe
we didn't. It didn't take all of his share, So
glad you joined.
Speaker 2: But well for giving them back, we gotta we gotta answer.
Speaker 5: I don't know why I left them in Kelowna. It's
just too easy for you guys to co noodle with
my Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, speaking of Dylan, how are you? How are
you doing with the pod nowadays? Well?
Speaker 4: Check it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, As I've mentioned multiple times, like twenty twenty five
was a very tumultuous year for me personally, and so
I think in those kinds of times, what you need
is structure and consistency and camaraderie friendship, and that's what
the podcast is for me. And so yeah it was.
I feel like I kept busy with the podcast this year,
filled up the now empty nights and so yeah, yeah,
it was a fun year. I feel like I ran
the gamut too, did some TV shows obviously focused on
side Quest, did kind of less movie reviews but still
some of them here and there, lots of different newscasts.
We did a lot more weekly geeked this year, all
sorts of other fun stuff. So yeah, it kept kept
me busy for the most part, which was good. And yeah,
I mean it was just it was a funny year
because we were celebrating the ten year, so it felt
like the ten year was an event that was a day,
that was a thing we did, but also it was
a month's leading up to that, and then I feel
like we had like a come down to that lasted
for like a couple of months of just like even
until the end of the year, Like, you know what,
we're partying. It's the ten year. We're celebrated until the
end of the year, and I like, you know, the
exciting thing for the fans is that it's not us
just going into this year, like we're just doing even
more and and keeping it exciting and keeping it fresh,
doing new different stuff. So uh yeah, like you know,
I always always keep things fresh and whatnot. But yeah,
it was it was a fun year of podcasting, and
I'm excited for this one because yeah, it's like the
gaming focused guy has Kirkling alluded to like this is
gonna be a crazy year for video games unless everything
gets delayed, So yeah, it should be. It should be
a really fun time. So yeah, I'm doing good. Podcast
was it was a good year? Twenty five was was
was good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was fun time, Taylor Field, it's not a
good look.
Speaker 4: I think it was a good year. I had a
I had a good time with you guys, had a
lot of fun. You know, big change, big change this year.
Uh and just uh yeah, just preparation, anticipation, salvating. So
I think where we're at now, it's it's good. And
we hit the double digits. That's that's huge. And the
next goal that I'm looking forward to for the podcast
is the episode count hitting quad digits. Squad digits, that's
that's the big oh.
Speaker 2: Big six eighty seven now, so we've probably got like
another year or two. That's one. The one I don't know,
and I haven't done the math because it always depends
on the year. The other one I'm looking forward to
is we're two hundred thousand downards away from him two
million plays of all time, so it's right now are
one point eight. So the same thing I think that
else still be like a maybe a couple of years,
but there is some couple, there's a couple of big
landmarks still on the horizon.
Speaker 5: You know, this year, that's a good goal for us.
Let's hit two million this year.
Speaker 2: You think we hit two hundred thousand downloads.
Speaker 5: I mean our our Avengers endgame episode was like, what
eighty one hundred k on.
Speaker 2: Its own seventy four thousand.
Speaker 5: So if we can get if we can dump that
on one, you know, Avengers Doomsday, throwing Spidy in there,
throwing some Dune, throwing some Odyssey, I feel like we
could get there, throw GT six.
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, I will always admit that son
that's us. And then I definitely think some that is
a partially of an algorithm. Things have changed a lot.
I think that's always the change with everything with Spotify
and Apple and YouTube. You know, you process for sure.
Speaker 5: I mean, I saw, I saw a posted It's like
apparently more officially now more than half the identities on
the Internet are just bots. So we're officially crossed the
fifty percent mark. You know, you really just got to
trust in the robots at this point, I.
Speaker 2: Guess, man, And then when AI gets hold of all
those bots are going to out numbers eventually, like they're
gonna keep making that's.
Speaker 5: Probably every year, it's going to get worse for the humans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we get that stat like there's more bots
than humans stats, when the AA is gonna flip and
it's over all those bots become real like.
Speaker 5: The point, we just hit that point. So now it's
now we're done for brother, I feel good.
Speaker 3: I feel obious.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, I feel like we've had a lot of growth
this past year. And like you guys already highlighted ten years.
Ten years is a big that's a big thing, and
so coming. How how far we've come this past year,
and like the new kind of things that we're focusing
on and it always changing and trying to do better
and whatnot and listening to the listeners and the patrons
and trying to grow certain things for our show. No,
I think it's I think it's good. And you guys
all pat yourselves in the back. Uh, you know, we've
rallied and come together and.
Speaker 2: We should pat each other on the back. And then
I guess you can pat just.
Speaker 4: Can pat me anytime. But I mean I'm not there.
You gotta pat yourselves in the back right now. Okay,
but uh oh you're away from me. Good. I think
it's it's exciting to know that we are on the
precipice of big things on this horizon.
Speaker 2: We hope you never predict the future, you know, but
it's true. Yeah, yeah, no, it's fine year anyway, So
get into the survey. No, I really enjoyed last year.
I want the energy of what we had for the
ten year and the lead up and whatnot. That can't
always stay because you've gotta you know, you can't have
too much birthday. There always has to be like a
little bit of a break and a lull. But yeah,
I think honestly, the sun has told you. I think
the next two years, even this year, but the next
two years in general for content and those potential landmarks
we can hit all the other stuff and even then
a big thinking the patrons that was are also biggest
year on patrons well, which definitely means the most because
that is the biggest fun that goes directly to us.
Because YouTube and Spreaker, we do make finances off of that,
but there's a lot more of a percentage split there,
so we very much appreciate that. And that's where we
can rely on you guys, because if people don't know,
and what I'll do is a little rundown here for
because this is where I say, and before you got
here down that sometimes I can tell in the surveys
we always get somebody that's recently listened or just the
year because there was one thing in the survey like oh,
you guys should offer like an AD free feed on
your Patreon or something like that. It's like, well, good
for you, we got you covered it. It's there and
that's the thing where for Patreon that is the biggest support.
As far as how AD revenue works and CPMs and
all this stuff, and it's all dependent on not us.
It's like obvios our numbers, yes, and how much people
listen to a podcast. Yes, those are the two things
we can We can't control, but we can try to
strive to be better and change just and do that.
But as far as an AD revenue, I've always said,
like you can have one episode in January we listened
to five thousand by five thousand people, and that same
episode release in August five thousand people. You don't make
the same amount. It all depends on what the revenue
people are doing. So that's why with Patreon, when we
really stress that's the place to support us. That is
because it doesn't matter if like the months the funds
stay the same and those things. Literally when people just
to like kind of break it down when we say
it supports the show, it really does because between revenue
and Patreon, we wouldn't be doing like all the other episodes,
not even telling the exclusive stuff, but just stuff like
Weekly Geek or just stuff like Tras told you or
even side Quest like that was born from, Hey, we're
doing a lot better. We can do an extra just
gaming show, Dylan, you can host that, Like those are
the reason we can do multiple content things is because
of those landmarks. That's what goes towards. So of course,
like we do keep someone on the back end, but
that usually helps me to like take a day off
or do something and still get paid. Honestly, I think
probably majority of my stuff just goes back into the
film so I'm not blocking that much nowadays. Like it's
the film festivals, it's the gear and that type of stuff.
But all that stuff does create more opportunities. So that's
why if you like what we do, and we like,
I always hate trying to promote it, and like we
pre if you just listen and you listen to free
you know, feed, and that's your plan forever. We appreciate
you too, and we need those numbers two because when
other people, whether it's sponsorships or other revenues, look at
the numbers, that's important too. It's just that's where if
you ever want more stuff or and that's what the
exclusives for, but if you ever want stuff where it's
like and I see when we get in this survey,
it's like, oh, we'd love it if you could do this.
There's some stuff I would love to do, like for example,
like like I saw it a couple of times in
the survey, like live reactions right when we do the
game wards or that Nightmarish when we did for a
Nintendo a couple months ago. That but it was fun
because early nothing happened, but it was fun because early
those ones are those were some of my favorite, like
back in the day when we were in Dylan's parents'
basement and we would just be there all day for
E three. Nowadays like comic on E three, those all
day things don't really happen as much anymore, but still
like I would love to do those, but we don't
always do those because one it's tough with our schedules.
So in the sense of getting more income, that would
be like, Okay, we could take a day off of
work for let's say a big event to watch it,
react to it and still be covered, where if don't
have that, then we're just taking a day off of
work watching this thing. And that's the thing with live reactions.
It's not the same as a podcast because YouTube has
the worst revenue spit and unless it's super chats and stuff,
they don't make too much. Right, there are tons of
fun and that's still the base of the podcast is
trying to have fun. But that's why we always try
to value like, Okay, what is worth the time now
when we do like sometimes like there's four or five
days a week we're doing this, right, It's not like
back in the day where Okay, we did geek us
every Friday or Thursday after we're all done work and
then if there was an E three or something like,
oh sure, let's do that for fun. But now it's
a lot different. So I don't know if I say
anything that someone wants to touch upon, et cetera.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean I'll touch on that a little bit,
which is maybe a disappointing thing. But like with my
work schedule that changed in the last few months, Like
I just can't do as many of those live reaction
things because they often happen like mid day and stuff.
And yeah, for a time there had a work schedule
where I could work around that and do more of that,
but not really any more unfortunately. So I want to
I want to react to the state of plays, to
the nintender directs. Well, I guess the ntender rerecs happened
to like six am, so maybe I could do some
of those, but then.
Speaker 2: That's always tough.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thirty and do that because yeah, I want to
do that as much as I can, but it's it
is tricky with work, Yeah, the old ball and chain
the job, you know, Yeah, because all of us have
a daytime job or like Kirkland, he's in school right now.
We all got other activities going on as far as
just life man.
Speaker 2: Life like that type of stuff. So that's where it's
like I'm not saying, oh, next year, if we hit
this goal, we'll still doing live reactions. That's just stuff
we're a in the ballpark of if we can get
the certain landmarks and stuff in the future, yeah, that'd
be great because maybe we could justify Okay, two of
us could take this day off, et cetera. But yeah,
just to specify before we get into the the survey
and everything I have for the free feed as well,
it's on there. I'm not getting over the whole schedule
on the because we have a free Patreon feed and
that's where I place like updates or anything like that.
The entire twenty twenty six schedules up there and the
breakdown of the tiers. So if you ever want the
written document, it is there. It's like only a couple
of weeks old. But if you just search like twenty
twenty six, I think it's gonna be one of the
only things that comes up as of right now. But
right now, the first feed is just like a support
feed and you get some behind the scenes stuff. Phase two.
The second feed is early access to episodes. Say saying
I saw someone say, oh, I'd like episodes early, that's there,
so it's early access. Every episode we do on the
main feed is ad free. And then let me just
pull us up here. For this year, you're getting twenty
six exclusive episodes on that feed and the whole retrospectives
are all there. Do you want to say something to Taylor?
Speaker 4: No, no, I was just gasping, and that's good gassing.
Speaker 2: Okay. Phase three has all those benefits except a few
more episodes and a bit of different episodes. That's thirty
four episodes exclusive, and then the Patreon producer you're getting
forty six episodes exclusive this year. Lotsos are split off
the bread and butters. That's everything, not like it's twenty
four and then all that plus together. That's everything together.
But that's also the tier where we're We did a
lot last year. We're gonna do a lot more polls
as far as doing content, and you guys decide what
we're doing. So it is I know lots of people
have producer tiers, but then when I listen to the podcast,
it doesn't. That's just like a fun name. We try
to make it that you guys actually can dictate where
we're going, Like la year, did I want to watch
Minecraft again? Whatsoever? Not at all, but you guys deemed it,
So we do what you want us to do. So
that's our best way to try to pay it forward.
And we have spruced up that tier bit this year
because we know that's the top tier. And before it
was you get to pick one movie. That's still the
case that you could review, but it was always like
okay and now the rest is just some polls. But
now we wanted to beat that up for you. So
I just want to specify if you have any questions
or stuff, it's all in there, or you can hit
us up. Let's see, was there anything to say before
I throw out just specific things from survey or anywhere
someone wanted to start specifically, I'm an open.
Speaker 5: Book survey time baby, Okay.
Speaker 2: Let me get that reading the mic, you guy, No.
Speaker 4: No, no, just more gasps, you know.
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Patreon producers. I want to do this
because we're doing this next month and I think this
is a fun place to talk about because maybe we
can open up suggestions. How do you guys want to
tackle next month? The flashback episode because we talked about before,
like okay, we wanted to go back in the past
because this was inspired when we did the MSU predictions
for Phase four. We especially I think at least me
and Dylan. I don't belie you. I can't speak to them,
but uh, we like re listen to the predictions and
there's so many takes and thoughts. That was fun hearing
us like, man, what did we think about four years ago?
Like me saying like, oh, Blade has to be on
the next two years and here we are no Blade.
It's like, how do we want to do that? Do
we want like to give the patrons a topic an era?
Like I like, I like, how do we want to
try it? Because we're we're doing to this year's experiment.
I want to see how people enjoyed, if it's worth doing.
So we're gonna dip our toes into that. But we
haven't really talked about yet. So what do we have
any ideas or starting points to do or things to
throw it to patrons?
Speaker 5: I mean I thought we'd go back to the early
early era for sure. One two, Like I thought even
like the first episode or something.
Speaker 4: First episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's true. Yeah, yeah, the first episode. I think
you might be on the second episode. I think I
think so.
Speaker 3: When we had the uh, we have like one episode
a week, so it was pretty easy to do.
Speaker 2: It was one episode week and for terrible seo purposes.
We never put anything we talked but in the titles
like Tangent Town and Bread and Butter.
Speaker 5: Yeah they had fun names for the first one.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was great, but yeah, let me let me
go back and get that date there. But that'd be
a good one to start off with, this first episode
with all of us on it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, and you think that the clear audio
quality difference will help the listeners, know, you know, what
real time is versus what old time is. But we
could also like, like I for example, I could re
listen to the episode and like edit out, like chop out,
like the interesting funny things like maybe we just get
a little super cut or something. I don't know if
that's like easier for a listener to, like, Oh, we're
gonna listen to like five minute segment of this and
then well I don't know if that's.
Speaker 2: But we we still all have to listen to the
full episode though, us right, like all of us gotta
listen to it from start to finish.
Speaker 5: I don't know, you don't have in this world. We
don't have to.
Speaker 2: I guess Dylan's worried about listening the whole thing start
to finish either.
Speaker 5: I'm just the viewer listening to that for a whole episode,
hearing all of our voices twice, even if the MIC's
are quality is different, it'll be I don't think that
would be a good listening experience. I guess what do.
Speaker 2: You mean by twice?
Speaker 4: Because talking over ourselves. I see what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't think we were doing that, Like I'm
down to here. I thought we were all listening it
and then reporting back and talking about the stuff.
Speaker 5: Oh, I didn't know we were reaction to our earlier life.
Speaker 4: Reaction might be more entertaining, though it.
Speaker 2: Could be, But then I'm with Dylan where that could
be a disaster with the quality and whatnot if we
do it that way, because it's and plus the only
thing though, it's like because I feel like if we
listen to it and it's not a good episode, it's
not fun, that could be a waste of our time
and everyone's time. Where at least if we listen to
it on our own and come in if it's a
bit like shorter, we could maybe have some other things
to talk about, Like what if there's not much we're
talking about and just a lot of dead air for
us and it's just the old episode playing. That was
my worry there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that could definitely happen.
Speaker 2: Videos.
Speaker 5: I think my suggestion's okay, what do you guys think
of that? Of me? Of I go through, I listened
to the episode, I edit out good little funny chunks
that we could re listen to on on a cast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, funny charts, and I'd say debates as well, like
anything that we might have some hot takes where now it's.
Speaker 5: Anything that's anything that will generate good combo.
Speaker 2: M hm, could be done down to do it that
way that you listen to. I probably still myself will
listen to the whole thing just to get the grasp
of it. But uh yeah. The second episode ever is
called Tangent Town. It's one hundred or not one hundred
and forty minutes, it's an hour and forty minutes. In
the description, it's Zelda delayed, Fantastic four predictions, no couch
co op in Halo five, Space Jam, two movie and
game sequels we've wanted, and much more covered on geek first.
Speaker 3: Not a single link that's a thing in the good
episode for second episode ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me confirm if topics for sure, you guys continue,
I'm going to hear if I can hear Kirtland.
Speaker 4: Even just spending like five ten minutes like obviously picking
an episode, covering it and whatnot in our thoughts and
comparing our thoughts from then to today, but even just
going through and spending ten minutes like naming off the
titles of like the first like twenty episodes, just like
reading what like the discussion was back then, like oh,
Doctor Doom trailer. Like remember when we were all in
like the car, we did a car pod and like
talking about like oh yeah, that Doctor Doom movie was
discussed back then, and just like looking at where we
are now in comparison.
Speaker 5: Like, man, yeah, was that a real thing that happened?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were all in the car. Remember we did
a car Was it just doing me, Travis? We were
in the car and we did a podcast in the
car going to the theater and we're talking about the
Doctor Doom movie. News that just dropped.
Speaker 5: It might've been YouTube now. It might have just been
YouTube because because you would often pick him up and.
Speaker 4: Drive him around, right, unbelievable, unbelievable, Travis.
Speaker 2: I literally told you, I'm trying to listen to see
if Kirklin's in that side. I'm pretty sure he is
about a car. Yeah, but what what does that help
if it's just you and me in a car we're
trying to get episode with all four people on.
Speaker 4: It, No, never mind moments past, what does that do?
Speaker 2: Like, sure, you and me could revisit that one time,
but like example, it was.
Speaker 4: It was an example for like looking at old episodes
and comparing comparing the headlines to what we have now,
So like weird predictions of news topics back then that
on episodes we were all on like oh, Predator in
the Tree sequel or whatever, you know, just like oh,
no Predator Tree sequel.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm down to do that. But like, I
think that'll come up in even like even the like
that description I laid like laid out there, like what
we are our thoughts on Space Jam two in two
thousand and sixteen or fifteen, where we're really hyped or whatnot.
So I think you'll get that with almost any any
newscast episode with most of us, I think you'll get
some sort of predictions or conversations about stuff that was
still relevant nowadays. You know, like Zelda when was it delayed?
I don't know Fantastic four, Like, what do we think
about Fantastic four predictions? Because that was for the Uh yeah,
so I think you'll get that with those. All right,
So that's what we're doing, Dylan, you're gonna take on
that task. If you're gonna listen to that, cut out
some stuff, and then.
Speaker 4: We're gonna go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that sounds like a good prodge for me.
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. So that's gonna happen in February.
Speaker 5: So look, ok are we gonna go with episode two
or do you want? I think it sounds like a
juicy one. It sounds like a gouple of gold in it,
I think.
Speaker 3: So let's starting six words in it. I feel like
early podcast days, I was just a mouse.
Speaker 4: But we'll see you were pretty quiet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I won't know until I listened.
Speaker 2: So maybe Dylan if he is really quiet throughout trying
to keep like a word count, you know, see how
many words?
Speaker 4: Kirklan says, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: So that got going on. Okay, So then I have
I have this divide into two sections, so I have
content improvement wants or ideas or questions. And then there
was just general content questions that was kind of like, uh,
like you'll see what I get there, but it's like, oh,
could you add this or could you do that? Where
the first one's a bit more specific or just thoughts
or stuff that I want to say, like oh, this
is why we do it, or someone will say this
way we do it, so someone asks this for also
we do Weekly Geek. And then because this has come up,
I think this comes up all the time, which I
think we always appreciate, but it came up a few
times of you know, we always still like the episodes
of all four together. And I'll read the comments where
I liked it when you all present for the news shows,
but I understand that it may not be possible, and
that's fine. Maybe you could add a quick commentary slash
reaction section to the news that each person missed from
that person and weekly Geeks and only other official stuff.
No need for the rumors, but for the shows overall,
I'm very satisfied, Uh, thank you. And they also wanted
like a ranking show, which that did come like top
tens of rankings came up a few times. So maybe
some good evergreen stuff, but I to peek behind the
curtain because I do most scheduling. I always try to,
like at least make sure on the counter once a
month there is like a for sure four man newscast,
because I feel like that's usually most people's favorites us
for together when there's topics, because random stuff and going on,
we get in debates where a review, I think we're
pretty focused. For other stuff, I think we're like the
Patronos stuff, We're pretty focused. So I try to put
it on the main feed. It usually always happens on
patron But I'm not trying to be like, oh, if
you want us four together, you gotta go over there. No,
it's just sometimes that's like those people are, you know,
doing a little extra help for us, So we want
to guarantee they get that. But what do you guys
feel about that? Where whether it's in the future or not.
Like let's say let's say weekly Gee Keppins next week
and it's me and Kirklin and the Spider Man trail
comes out and then Dylan and Taylor on our newscast
for a while, would you guys be down for not
just like the beat here and Seater, but some of
the bigger stet to how we kind of what we've
been watching, maybe like what we've missed or somewhere it's like, hey, Dale,
we haven't heard your thoughts on et cetera. You know, like,
how do you guys feel about adding something like that
for times we've been gone for a little bit or anything.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think the only way it comes
to mind is like on the Game of the Year
episode of high Patching, like Travis or Taylor who aren't
on that, And I think I think that I like that.
I think it's fun to have that in the mix.
So we could try something like that with like newscasts
if there's like a juicy topic. I mean that definitely
came up a lot in the in the survey results,
is I want more of the four of you together yea,
which totally fair. And I think, yeah, it would be
nice if we could bump that bump that number up
to more frequently, like once a week would be cool.
But you know, when we do so much every week,
it's like it really is beneficial that we swap out
on certain things. And yeah, I think we all like
our own individual flavors too. When we have our our
duos or trios and stuff. But yeah, I mean I
think the the GV four, I mean that's that's where
the sauce. That's where the sauce.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah sure, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: I would love it in my own structure right there.
Speaker 2: It is, Yeah, in my dream world. It would be
once a week in my real dream world. But I'd
love to get to Like the fifteen twenty years is
like there's a newscast every day, but it's like weekly
geek where it's like, okay, Kirklan, I are Monday. Everybody
is no, we should have done that. When we're on Colonna,
we should have. We should we didn't think far ahead.
We should have got one big house and done. But
that would be my dream goal to like try to
do it even just weekly like The Four of Us.
But like down set, it's tough when it's like okay,
movie review, side quest a TV review. There's some patriot content,
which again a lot of patriot content we are on together,
but I think it's that differential of okay. If someone
doesn't want to listen to, you know, the Punisher retrospective
movie with dolfh Longrand, they're not getting the Four of
Us right. So if there's certain episodes we do that
might not be in the wheelhouse that month, it might
be away. So I think we are cognizant of it.
But Kirka, what do you feel about that? Maybe like
a little section trying to catch up on some news
in the future where maybe I can keep like a
little a drive of on there as far as stuff
that people may have missed, like I could do like
a Google's drive.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, No, I think that's a really good idea.
I mean, yeah, four of us together, it's that's when
we're in our prime. But just life scheduling it kind
of prevents that from Yeah, I feel like I would
just get sick of you guys too have to do
it every day. Who knows, maybe not, maybe not.
Speaker 2: Maybe we're taking some shares at the end of the.
Speaker 3: But no, I think that's really juicy because there is
some times where they're scheduling maybe like one of us
just isn't on there, and then like just maybe the
initial feelings or reactions just aren't fresh there and it's
just not as good of a conversation.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think it is good to get our thoughts as
quick as possible. That's why we do our reviews. Night
of when we can.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think that this would have to
be like the main Like it'd be kind of like
what we've been watching where it's like a quick yeah
ten fifteen, which like I know can go on, but
it's not going to be like this. We're let's say
we talk about the Spider Man trailer, then the next
week we're doing the Spider Man trailer again, like not
like that month of Spider Man. Yeah, every month it's
like what a daln thing, what a tailor thing. Let's
go back to what Krookland thought two weeks later, you know, so.
Speaker 5: I still think that's the same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, Taylor got an input.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you can't argue with the fact that
the four of us we got great chemistry. You guys
are my work husbands. I joke about that with Madison
all the time. This Madison like, look, we're driving today,
for example, and I'm driving and uh, we're in a
rush for to go somewhere, and I like, I quickly
like flashed my watch up in Madis is like, no,
we're not, we have time. We have time, Like no, no, no,
because my phone might watch vibrates and I get messages
and it is Travis sending me messages and I guess
my work husband and uh yeah. So that being said,
Uh that being said, chemistry, the chemistry is there. We
all got it INSU.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 4: But I like the idea of being able to catch
up with with news that is missed because often, more
often than not, I find that if there's something that
I want to talk about, it'll be it'll be covered
by you guys in a weekly Geek or something like that.
It's like, hey, that's perfect. The coverage is there, and
the coverage is the most important thing. But it's like, ah,
you know, we can't we don't necessarily double back and
talk about on a newscast because the newscast would be
like two weeks later, right, just because of scheduling and
Everything' is like, oh dang, then you know, I've missed
my opportunity to kind of talk about it, which is nice.
That's where the discord comes in handy because then you
can kind of discuss it whenever and any time you want.
But on a platform like this we're podcasting, I know
there's definitely quite a few topics that pass by that
I'd love to kind of seep my teeth into and
discuss with you guys. So I think this is a
good it's a good play and especially too, like.
Speaker 2: How I've felt lately with the when we got a
week with Geek and other stuff, how I felt with
the main GB four episodes. We still want to do something.
But it's even like what me and Dellan just did
on sidequest. He didn't did a quiz and then we
tell it Resident Evil and we did that for an
hour fifteen and like that's over an hour of us
talking together. There's been many times where we done what
we've been watching and because of the movies or the
tangents we go on, we're not getting the news like
forty five fifty. So that's the thing where it's like
even if it was a hey we got nothing, but
we got well, we've been watching some news catch up
and even if we have like even just one main
topic for a news or anything like that, Like I
think it's good. Like there's times where now I try
to I before I'm like, oh, I need to make
sure I have four topics for a GV four episode.
Nowadays have been lessening on that because there's times where
we're bumping stuff like we're getting to topic two and
it's soon and a half hours and that's I don't
think it's a bad thing. I think that's probably what
people enjoy because we can cover that. I feel like
Weekly Geek is the like Dicet, like Direct Okay, two
people there talk about the news usually like an hour
hour and a half. It's I won't say in and out,
because hour and hour and a half's not in and out,
but it's where when all fours together, there's that chance
of like it's kind of rare for not in the
two hours in those set sections. Right, it's like we
don't even know. We don't even like a big juicy
trailer nowadays. I don't know if that's just because we're
bear podcasters or what or and again we did add
that last year, right, that what we've been watching, so
we didn't have that before and that can cause like
good conversations. So so, but maybe shows or segments about
evergreen topics could be cool, and I guess we could
do that. I think the tough thing is we do
because I try to always have us to do like
a bounce, but I feel like that is kind of
what we are doing on Bread and butter, and I
think in again in the perfect world where it's like
we're doing this as like a part time job. Even
it's like, oh, we're doing all newscasts and we get
end the week with an evergreen show. But it's like,
because we don't are in that situation, I think that's
why we do that for bread and butter per se.
Speaker 5: So there was a lot of people that said specifically
the word evergreen. Yeah, and I don't like, what does
that mean exactly?
Speaker 2: So evergreen is like you could listen to it five
years from now. So if we were to talk about
like if I just say, hey, Dylan, tell me your
life story at any point for the most time, they'd
be like, oh, this is the first thirty years of
Dylan's life. It's never gonna change, right.
Speaker 5: So it's like surprised to see that's specific phrase used
multiple times, but also the.
Speaker 4: Cardinal container that got stuck in the Swiss canal.
Speaker 2: Coincidentally, that's what they want us to talk about.
Speaker 5: Actually specifically, there was a comment about like wanting more
politics talk or something. So I don't will see that.
Speaker 2: I'll dress that at the end there's like I don't
exactly agree with turning into bread.
Speaker 5: And Butter with Kirkland and Taylor for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when I hear the Chinese government, that's the episode for you.
But yeah, any thoughts on that, Like, I feel like
we do. I feel that is kind of what bread
and Butter is though, right, it's those topics, you know.
Speaker 5: I I yeah, I like, I mean, I think that's
a good thing for sure. And I mean I feel
like you're on side quest especially last year, last two years,
like I've put a lot less news in that show,
and I do try, and I don't think I was
specifically like I want to make this more ever green.
I wasn't thinking that exact phrasing, but I but I
think that maybe is like a knock on effect of that.
And but then also I saw someone say like I
want more like gaming news, so like, I know that's
not exactly what people want, but I think I just,
you know, when I'm doing pie Quest, specifically, I want
topics that people are gonna be interested and like really
passionate about. And sometimes it's like, oh, yeah, here's this
news story that like we're all just we're pretty much
we're more citing the news to you, and it's not
like gonna be like a big, huge discussion. So I
like the idea of more evergreen stuff, even if I
didn't understand it at first.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe that's what we try to do for
those if we can do a four way man thing
and there is nothing to talk about that week, it's
what we've been watching, little news ketchup and something you know.
Cause and that's the other thing, because I had that
for trast told you, and that's where I'm completely down.
But at the same time, like I am only one man,
so it's always like I think it's the thing of
I saw one where it's like more Everton topics, and
I saw one of like more listener engagement. I feel
like other than Tras told you, where I say, hey,
that's an hour unless you send a super chat, I
can't really be talking with the chat unless you're a
patron as well. But I feel like with newscasts and
whatnot and even patren like you can join the one
dollar tier and send a question that like, I feel
like we incorporate as much as like, as much as
you put in, we will take as long as it's
like ob see, like like it's nothing crazy or very
you know, out there, it's like I feel like we
take that in, so we have those topics, send them in,
because Mike did that once where we send a question
and I turned into a whole show because like, oh
this would take longer for me than fifteen minutes. So
that's where I'm saying now. If you feel like we
aren't taking the stuff in, be in the chat when
we're live, or join Patreon even at the one dollar tier,
and you can send questions in before we ReCore because
I know people are different time zones. Our second biggest
market is like the UK and stuff, so I know
it doesn't always sync up, but you know, carclean tear
anything on Evergreen stuff.
Speaker 5: No, I love it.
Speaker 3: I feel like I mean, I always love doing podcast
episodes with you guys. I wouldn't be doing this if
I didn't love it. But there's something about like all
day in school or all day at work, and then
you come home and then it's like, okay, I gotta focus.
I got a draft tonight, Like I gotta be on
my a game, Like like it takes mental you know,
like it it's not like turning my brain off coming
here and chat with you guys, like like we are
I feel like focus on our topics that we're covering,
but then when we just have like a nice I
don't know, bread Butter's is a good example original stuff
that is just like low key. I feel like evergreen topics,
it's just a fun, like chill out. I feel like
that's kind of like like we always recovering news, but
that like the base of the podcast is just like
us talking. You know, at the end of the day,
it doesn't matter what we're talking about, just us talking together.
And I feel like if it can be a nice
evergreen topic, there's just someboding, more relaxing about that. So
as as the one that's participating in those in those episodes,
not just you know, gonna be listening to them afterwards.
I love it. I love our evergreen topics and uh
great terminology. I'm glad we're using that word again. I'm
gonna try and put that in my pocket for put that.
Speaker 5: In our episode title. This is an evergreen topic episode,
so people are googling that word.
Speaker 2: Yeah, technically is to like twenty twenty seven because something
massive can happened, right because Taylor's gonna check his watch
while he's drive and work, husband and then just go
flying out that thing like put the watch down while
you're driving, Taylor, you know.
Speaker 4: Thought it's on there. Good h no evergreen, fuck yeah, sick.
Speaker 2: This was one. I was surprised. It came about four times.
I'm gonna say this is the hype of the last
year because I feel like both to me, I'll always say,
and I know it's cheesy, but like GV Day, like
the ten year, that's my favorite day we've done that
because I feel like all the content, maybe other than
the last half an hour of Geek Versus, all the
content was est here that was like we're gonna tire
and we're gonna a little loopy and we're trying to
get through it. But other than that, I feel like
it went off with a great hitch and even extra life,
like we've we had very minor difficulties this year. There's
always like set up the trivia, but so I don't
know if because those went off really well, and the
first ten minutes of actually I thought that was Kyle's
fault because he was supposed to be there, so blame Kyle.
People said that they would like us to do more streams,
whether they were cherry streams, or whether it's just full
day streams, and even people say like, oh, it didn't
have to be twenty four hours, but more of those
because those were fun. So I was kind of surprised
because I've not seen those before, and other surveys wouldeople like, yeah,
do another long day stream event, and I'm not, like,
I think this is where my my pinpoint of it
right now is like I don't think it would be
this year because the year is kind of mapped out.
I would not be opposed to another kind of like
GV Day where it's like, Okay, we're gonna do this
for eight to ten hours it because that's the thing too. Right,
As we've said before, we'd still have to do content
because we can't just do a stream like Extra life
is different because we can play games all day, but
that's for charity, right, But there's really nothing other than
the trivia battle. There's nothing that we can bank to
monetize later on. So and we're fine doing the free
time because that's what actual life is for.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: We're trying to raise the funds, but for like, if
you want us to do another GV Day thing, I
think it would have to be kind of similar where
they have to be like a goal of okay, whether
it's donations to make a stamp later or to unlock content.
So I'm not opposed that. It's also just like the
fitting in would be would be a tough thing because
like November is extra life, and then the summer we
do Gvday and I already can tell like the earliness
of like right in the new year, I feel like
it's always busy for everybody, like right after crisps and everything,
So I don't know it would be. So I'm not opposed.
I think it's more something I would like to table
maybe next sure we're talking and see or maybe even
like if we do an additional survey in the future,
like hey, would you actually put that to people? Like
if we did a third streaming day, would you be there?
Would you be interested? Or it's two enough? Right? Because
I asked that, would trastoways say it's two enough? Or
would you take a third? So maybe that's something to
cook on. But how do you guys feel about it?
Because I was kind of surprised that there was more
than one person asking for that.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, those those days are crazy and fun
and all sorts of of of madness. I think's also
because we're all together too, probably, oh for sure, Oh
for sure. In the person, especially the longer ones, just
being around each other bouncing off some goofiness. I feel
like the goofiness just gets multiplied in those instances. I
would love to be able to do those like every month,
like like really, like.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kirkling, calm down, we don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know why you're kicking me out on that
what I would love.
Speaker 2: Because next year I'm going to get the survey as
all you guys should do on those every month, and
then like everyone's like, yeah, I do it.
Speaker 3: You know, there's a big difference between what I'd love
to do and what I'm able to do, And I
think that's the biggest hold up there. Yeah, I definitely
want to, but I think it would really have to
like just take a like a step back look at
the year calendar, and because like there's some months where
I swear I'm podcasting like twenty eight days out of thirty.
I know that's not really the case, but it feels
like that of just.
Speaker 2: Because you do the doubles, right, so it's like you're
doing two on.
Speaker 3: Something true actually, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2: Like next week, I podcast ten times. I podcast ten
times next week, but there's only seven days a week.
How's that possible? I don't know, but it happens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like you know, significant other like spend time
with them also as well as family stuff as well
as just sometimes just nice have a day off. So
I like, I don't want to overbook myself. I feel
like that's something I'm going into this year, just trying
to handle that a little bit better on my own.
Speaker 2: NK.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I feel like Bilbo, you know, spread a little
bit too thin over too much bread. But yeah, I
definitely love that idea. And also doesn't have to be
twenty four hour stream I think you know, I'm turning
thirty this year. It takes a toll on my body.
I feel like I'm losing years, but it's it's worth it.
Speaker 4: It's for charity.
Speaker 3: I definitely don't want to change that for the extra
a stream, but for just adding another streaming day with
you guys. I'd be down to have it less than
twenty four hours, but I want to do it nonetheless.
Speaker 5: Hey, there and.
Speaker 4: Speech, so there is there's there's lots of ways to
google about this doing different streams. I'm totally down. I
love the idea of the long haul. I think it's fun,
it's magical, it's it's got some fun memes that kind
of come out of it, like last charity stream with
the where is it someone click as yeah, yeah, yeah,
there it is. But when it comes to doing.
Speaker 2: I heard that for like it's sixteen out of twenty
four hours, I swear because kurtel would watch that, but
you just will watch it again. It's a short video too,
so it I would love to see in the play
count care We should have done that. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 4: It was crazy good.
Speaker 2: You're right, something always comes from any time we're together
for a long extended time.
Speaker 4: So yeah, but I think and this would be such
a crazy dynamic to plan. I don't know how you
would go about doing it. It would take a lot
of coordination or whatever. But there's something called crowd controlled
or audience driven streams, and I think that would be
so fucking funny to do something like that with all
four of us. And it's where so streams where donators
control the environment. It's a specialized genre of interactive live
streaming where viewer donations or channel points strictly manipulate the
physical virtual space that the streamer is in. So the
physical room control streamers you smart home technology connected to
donation alerts, and the donations trigger events like strobe lights,
spraying water, fog machines, smart bullb color changes. I'm watching
doors put us.
Speaker 2: Saw traps over here, not like the spring water.
Speaker 4: We got a donation.
Speaker 5: Now you have to saw your.
Speaker 6: Own leg Could you just imagine episode We're doing a
twenty four hour stream and just like the room that
we're in is like a live and like it could
be like three a m.
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, the strobe lights start?
Speaker 2: Are you getting these funds from? Where are you getting
this from?
Speaker 4: There's there's a there's a way to budget it. I
think there's a way that we could budget it. And
but I remember watching it, watching this video of this
guy and it was like two am where he was
and he was trying to sleep and people kept donating
and they kept fucking him over trying to sleep and
he's getting so upset, but he was doing it to
make money. It was so funny. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll have to see the business pitch, do a
whole work up. I would say that'd be like like
maybe a like a one time or one time every
five years. I don't think that's the I don't think
it's a yearly thing. Like there's something that like maybe
fifteen years. Okay, maybe some this crowd control room or something,
but i'd have to see it, and i'd have to
see your budgeted of it as well too, you know,
or you can do a kickstarter or go fund me.
I guess if the if if people heard that and
they really want that, then I guess let us know. So, Okay,
you know what crazy thing you had to pitch us,
Kirkland's pitching every month, Taylor's pitching, Oh, let's go in
a room where we get fucking.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll keep mine. Uh well, Kirkland's is realistic ish,
I guess, well not really, but uh my, my realistic
thing here is I I would love like because at
one point Taylor and Kirkland were doing like it was Sunday, right,
you guys are doing a little little Sunday stream moment.
I think something like that would be great, not every week,
but like maybe like once a month, Like that could
be a once a month thing where yeah, we do
a three or four hour long stream playing a game,
playing Outlast Trials, playing Helldivers, doing something like that together.
It doesn't have to be a video game, could be
some other thing like, uh, I don't know, jack Box,
something silly like that that seems realistic and fun and
something I'd be into. Obviously, for me, the big limitation
is just being in Vancouver, Like if I come to
Kolona for these streams in which you know, these days,
so much of my friends and family have moved away
from Colona, so I have like less and less home
based situation going on there. But for me, it like
costs a lot of money and time to come to Colona,
so I don't do it very often. So I feel like,
for me, I'm kind of capped out of how many,
like in person big streams you could really do for me,
like with how much money we make. I guess, cause
it's like if I drive, okay, maybe it costs me
like a hundred bucks in gas and that's like eight
to ten hours of driving. But if I have a
fly or take the bus or something, that's like well
over two hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: You clean vacation pay right for the podcast.
Speaker 2: Technically you can't write that off. Yeah, you can write
that off.
Speaker 5: If you uself to pay you write it off. You
save some taxes, you don't that money doesn't just come
out of the.
Speaker 2: Ground and there's nothing though, right Like you still say
like a little on taxes, you know, so say those
receipts but you know, but that But no, I think
that you bring up a good point where that's the
for those in person thing where it's like okay, if
people are like, oh yeah, we'd like to do that more,
that's where it's like, okay, we and that'd be far.
That's where it's like, okay, we'd have to hit certain things.
So Dylan's completely covered on his side. Right. So that's
where it's like when we talk about because I feel
like we always say, like when we say, oh you
guys still help support the channel and grow stuff, that's
what we're talking about in situations like that where it's
like for Dylan to come out for gbday and extra
life that cost him a pretty penny at times. Right.
So that's those are the things we talk about as
far as manpower hours or anything like that. So but
I get what I'll take from that at least, so
people put it on there is that they enjoyed the
streams that we did do this year, So I think
that's a good thing. So and we're still doing those,
do we still got extra life in that? So maybe
we'll kind of revisit it next year and see. But yeah,
if you got any ideas that aren't us getting tortured
to death, we'd love to hear them. So let's see
someone put in this one just on that thing. And
I don't know, said, maybe a moderator for the twenty
four hour or longer cherry stream. That's always the tough
thing of like, well, one, you have to find something
to do that too. You'd have to find someone to
also pay to do that. So that's where it's like
I would don't get me wrong, I would love that
those days where something's going wrong and all four of
us are tired, we're trying to figure out. I would
love us and walk and be like, oh, I'm there.
But at the same time, I guess it's like even
I guess in all, I feel like if it's all
if like what Dylan's talking about, if we did online streams,
there's a n narrator, it's like our moderator, like Okay,
I could kind of see that, but the in person one,
I think it's also weird. Like I don't think I
could designate someone and be like, you're not playing any games,
You're just here to like make sure things go right right. So, like,
as bad as it sounds, I'm pretty thankful the people
during Extra Life they're like, hey, audio's off or hey
this is that because we just That's another thing. I
don't think we have the man power to like commission
someone for a day to do that any one of
our friends. I wouldn't pitch like, hey, Sarahs, could you
come over and just watch the stream for us for
a day? Right? You know?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think it's a good criticims though, Like I
think our audio quality is really bad on the streams,
so we need to get that get that improved. So
that's definitely taken, and I think we we were already
talked about this one. We already have some ideas of
how we can improve it for the next one. So
we'll try and make it better and better every time.
Speaker 4: Taylor, you get Madison to the stream, Oh man, no,
I'm I'm her tech guy. When she's got shit going downhill,
she calls upon me and I do it, and I
feel like we all kind of is this the right
way to say? It's all of our cross to bear
like every once in a while, like so, because I
feel like when we first started doing the streams, I remember,
like Dylan, you were you led that charge and you
were getting the setup and the whatnot with your your
desktop and stuff like that, and then some I think
it was then on me, and now I feel like
it's on you. Travis, you could you know.
Speaker 2: How to stream? Now? I never knew how to stream before,
but now it's like, Travis, you know what to do.
So that means what that means for the first We'll
have to do the math at some point. It's Kirkland's
turn just to be the tech guy.
Speaker 3: He is the moneor for hours nervous.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've never been to a house of Kirkland's residence.
Speaker 2: No, he probably just still.
Speaker 5: Mission of hours on the walls. It's right, it's all
behind the scenes, like trivia fact about geek. First, I've
never been at Kirkland's house.
Speaker 2: I've been in Dylan's parents house, I've been Dylan's sister house,
never Kirkland's house.
Speaker 3: One of my old Libyan.
Speaker 4: I've only the outside, only the outside.
Speaker 5: You came too, that was you don't even know.
Speaker 2: Taylor, see a Taylor. Then he walks off in the distance.
He doesn't even live there.
Speaker 3: I just did the weapons run off into the distance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some people brought this up, but I kind of
get this one because we offer the hey, when you
become a patron producer first time, even picking the retrospective,
but a few people picked as far as like what
if there's a review we could be on or this
specific what I had. I think it all depends on
the time you guys have it and how many patrons
you get, blah blah blah. But let us do like
a one to two pick a film a year or
a TV show. I don't think we'd be doing a
TV show because that's kind of tough, but I saw
a come up a few times. I wouldn't mind, like
because we kind of had this thing that we'll get into.
I feel like we have like a regular after nine
where we talk, we have a gaming night, which we
got to figure out we haven't done a game night well,
so that's definitely next on the doc. And we have
a watch along like I wouldn't I think like in
those ones we talk, I wouldn't mind if like the
last fifteen to twenty minute, like whoever's there saying, Hey,
we tell everybody a month that like Afrhan's going to
be this date, and we I think we curate what
the movie is so it doesn't interfigure with any of
our contact, but we like pick a director or a
theme or an act or something like that and have
them vote, Like I whoever suggests that. I liked the
idea of kind of an after nine movie club where
it's not the whole two hours is a review of
said movie, but like, you know, half an hour discussion
of or something like that. So how do you guys
feel about that? People kind of brought up as like
a maybe people talking about the movie with us because
we only get to do that with them with new movies,
right like hey did you see this this weekend? And
then we talk about that, but never older movies and stuff.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think that's it. I think it's a
good way. That's like a symbiotic way to do that,
I think. So I like that one yep, yep, agreed, agreed.
Speaker 2: Okay, Uh, this had come up a few times, but
we're gonna tinker with it a bit people. You know,
I appreciate those hardcore comic versions, people that still put
that in there. We did the Predder one and actually
did better than I thought, So I know this year
we're gonna tinker with it with Supergirl and then Doomsday.
I haven't I gotta talk to mister Balk. I'm gonna
get him to recommend me, like what would be the
good because Secret Wars is next year, so I think
we're gonna do that. So I think it's gonna be
like the Flashback episode where I think we'll do like
two or three this year and test out because we
did them in the past and they were good. It
just they can be time consuming. So I think if
you like those, we will do some this year, but
just make sure you download and listen to them, and
which I myself person will be trying better to say, hey,
this is what we're reading, same thing as like a
movie club, like, hey, we're gonna do this in a month,
and if people have thoughts or opinions and stuff. Because
I saw that two people saying like, oh, indie games
or like lesser known comics, that's where it's tough. Because
even comic versions, I never know what those downloads are
gonna be, so like indie comics, I can't even get
we can't even get there yet. But yeah, come up
a couple of times and same the thing in that
kind of sphere, mixing some stuff up because we had
in some psidequest stuff. Where was more older game retrospectives
like you did with Arcane or some other series. Uh
there was another one I lost a note there, h
or titles you have all played at least once in
your life. So there's a couple of ideas there. I
have other ones there, but tell them how do you
feel about that? Because you guys were obviously you did
that Arcane retro lots of time. Obviously it's always tou
to find something that we all kind of agree on,
but also that came up with some older game retrospectives
or some serie retrospectives.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have nothing like officially etched in Stone this year,
but we have a few game retros that we've been planning.
Of course for that. It's it's a big time commitment
potentially for some of these games. But yeah, there's definitely
some on on the books. I don't know if we
would do like we definitely don't have an Arcane type
one where it's like we're gonna play every game from
this developer, even though you know arcane, I was like,
it was that six or seven episodes kirk on some
like that, which is not insane just a ranking plus
Red Fall review, you know, all kind of tied in
there together. But I mean, I love doing that. That
is one of the my favorite things that we've ever
done on the podcast was that retrospective. That was a
really great time. So I definitely want to do more
of that for sure. So and I think that's a
good point that, like, yeah, last year, I feel like
I really dropped the ball in the game retrospectives like
I usually try and time out like even like Plague Tail,
like we did a one episode retro there. When Ridgarrock
came out, we did one episode retro there. But it's
it's harder. So yeah, I think this year was how
many big games are coming out. I feel like that
it's we're primed for some of that stuff. So yeah,
keep keep an eye out for sure.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, anything tay, hell yeah yeah. And then was
there anything else still in the side Quest Realm that
you saw that you want to talk about or was
there I think I kind of threw a bunch of
like three things together there, But was there anything else
that stuck out?
Speaker 5: Or yeah, I mean, uh, you know, people mentioned really
liking the ranking episodes, especially like the weirder ones we do,
which yeah, I love doing those. Those are always a
fun time for me. I try and like split those
up kind of somewhat even lee in the year, but
I also just sloted them in when like we don't
have topics for certain weeks, so it's like it's not
on a set schedule. But I definitely intend to do
like multiple of those every year, and I think we
have been doing that. Like we did the Zombie ranking,
they Snow Snow Level ranking, we did a couple other
ones Camera the Best Game Names, right, we just did
like some silly ones like that. So yeah, definitely want
to do a lot more of that. We will be
doing Resident Evil Ranking soon. It's kind of a different thing,
but we're gonna be doing that, so that'll be fun.
But yeah, definitely I'll keep those, keep those coming along.
Indie games, that specific one. I don't want I want
to be rude, but I think that's I think that's
on you guys. I feel like you guys need to
play more indie games if you want me to talk
more about indie games.
Speaker 2: Or even just listen to that episode, you know, like
bring like if you if Dylan does an episode, be like, oh,
I'm curious about this game. I've never heard of it.
Still click it, download it and be like Okay. Then
there's because another thing too. That's the other one I
didn't mention. Here is and who knows how it's gonna happen,
but out and they're like, oh, and like interview more
people in the gaming industry and stuff like. That's where
it's like same thing. Make sure you subscribe and download
and same thing. I guess we don't push this enough.
I'm trying not to be pushing because we push so
much other stuff. But if you like one of our episodes,
like legitimately, always say like a retweet or a share
on Facebook or wherever you're listening to, because that does help.
It's like the charity stream effect. That's the only time
I talk about that, like, oh, spread the link because
people will be same thing as the Extra Life where oh,
someone donate I've never heard of there will be people.
So if you like that and it's like, oh, same
thing the indie games or comic versions when that stuff
comes out, push it out because maybe there's someone else
on your feed that goes, oh, you know, I might
like this episode and give it a chance, right, So
that's the same thing. If that helps us too. If
you can't become a patron, we completely understand how life is.
That's a free way to help us, is whether you're
liking a video or reposting it somewhere because someone might
see it that enjoys that stuff.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what did you mentioned something there that I wanted
to jump off of people? Yeah, that I would like
to do more of that for sure. I think that
seeing that comment was a nice kind of bump to
remind myself to do more of that. I tell myself,
I want to do more of that, like interview people
or get more just different voices on than you're used
to and stuff. So that's definitely a goal for me
this year is Yeah, God, reach out gets some more people,
gets more interesting indie devs like I recently a couple
months ago just went to like a game developer event
thing in Vancouver and was surprising, man, all these cool
game developers that I like. Some of them I've heard
of that I just didn't realize. We're like living in Vancouver,
so oh yeah, there's there's like quite the community here.
It's obviously a huge city for game development. So even
for me that's maybe easier. I can actually do some
like in person conversations with people would be cool. So
definitely that's a that's a goal for me this year.
Speaker 2: And if there's anybody too, like reasonally right, like you're
not going to be like hey, Dylan, get it taught
how or like we're not there yet, that'll be many
moons from there. But if there is people that are
on the indy side that you either listen to or
know of, and especially if you hear people like, hey,
I'm looking to spread my game, and if it's something
and we're not saying, oh, give them the deal and
he's for sure interviewing them, but if you think, hey,
could you like this might interest you or this could
be a good interview, pass it our way, whether it's
on disorder patron, we can look into it. And same thing.
Maybe we asked that person and they say no, I
remember randomly the fucking producer of the last four Saw
films followed us on Twitter and I took a shot,
got ghosted, never got asked, but I said, hey, we
love the sauce stuff we cover all the time. Would
love to have you on. So that's all we can
do is ask and stuff. So that's where if you
think there's sometimes a good fit, like send it our
way and we can we can try, you know, so
mm hmm uh yeah, and then anything or for myself,
for I didn't know what to take from this. I
was happy lots of people said they listened to a
third one of Trashtoya, but then lots of people put
they want guests on there, So I didn't know what
to take from there as far as it's my soul show.
But then like yeah, but Tras there's too much of you,
we need you to bring on guests. That's why I
got me out there now yea, yeah, because Teara's home
and I'd love to because I know Joan scheduled.
Speaker 5: Before after Taylor started hopping on there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tan and I we talk about because like, oh,
he's gonna be home before and I've always wanted because
like at one point to all Kirklan's off of Friday
and stuff. For me, it's always with Taylor. He's not
working right now. It's always tough because my plan is
always now Tuesday Thursday eleven am. But if people don't know,
I do that during my lunch break at home. I
got a clean hour and if something happens at work,
it's gone. So that's my only thing is I'm still
on Dude, and maybe I will have Dylan on one
day and have Kurkle. I actually will not maybe, but
it's kind of have the stars have to align because
and the same thing is is like does that just
become like Weekly Geek right, like Tayler's hanging out with
me because like he's offense, Like yeah, sure, another one.
But it's like that's where I go back and forth.
It's like, well, when I'm on it's I think it'd
be different if I wasn't on Weekly Geek, But when
I'm on Weekly Geek, that's like like I don't know,
I'm not gonna sit Kirkland down and be like, hey,
let's talk about the oscars for an hour because it's
just like he doesn't care about the fucking oscars. That's
why I try to like other than if a breaking
newsak happened, I try to make it something that, Okay,
Travis would rant about this for twenty minutes and everyone
would be bored. So that's where it'd be like a pican.
But even with like Taylor, I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna
talk about Star Wars because I know Taya can talk
about half now for starts. You know where Thursday is
Oscar noms. I said, Taylor here on the show because
there's nothing for to talk about. So that's where like,
and I'd love to get like even like I'd love
to do an episode with Chris and stuff, but just
because I do it during the daytime and that's when
it happens, it's kind of kind of tough, you know.
So I will see I people said evergreen topics, same thing.
Send them in, I'll do them. I'll try to do
a better job of thinking of them. I did blow
through a lot, and I think it was like November,
there wasn't much news and then I did this was
just like in somewhere else, but I put this in
the trest told you I just saw randomly some people
someone did put invincible. We're never doing that because Kirklin
never caught up on it. So I apologize there even
blame Kirkland for that one. And now someone did put
Interview with the Vampire show. I'm going to assume no
one's watching season three. So if that is the case,
what I'm planning on doing is I'm going to do
a retro for season one. Season two. I just watch it,
and I am gonna do weekly reviews of Interview the
Vampire season three when it happened. So ever put that
comment in, who I think I know who it is,
But whoever put it in, I plan to cover it there.
I can't speak for all the other boys. They feel
inspired and see a trailer in the future, I'll happily
welcome them aboard. But I don't think that's happening with
all the stuff we got going on. Yeah, so no
right now, maybe one day, okay, And now we're in
the general content questions, we answer that one about the
patron picks. Oh this, I guess the Times of the
Trust told you and I it was so funny because
we saw one comment where it's like, hey, the spoils section,
it's too long, and then once it's too short and
saying things. So it's like, oh, the trast told you
interests a little long? Can you just get to meet
the potatoes for Trass told you. It's kind of always
going to be like that. I like for the first
ten minutes just interacting with the chat with the patrons.
I know, Spob's, April and Mike. They're usually my like
usual people that are around in the daytime, Like I
like talk with them and being random stuff for talking
about life or giving an insider So if you don't
like that, I'm sorry, but I just kind of I
like to start Trash toilet way of just like a
fun vibe. We'll get into the news and then for
the reviews. I don't think we can really judge that
because you can see like someone thinks they're too long
and some things are too short. I think it's case
by case. I think sometimes going.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you've tried like the now that
there's pretty good like auto chapter things on like Spreaker
and stuff. Have you tried that? For Travis told you?
I wonder like how those how that generates of it?
Speaker 2: I have not. It's funny because we talked about the
Spotify have you seen they do this? By themselves. Now
if you go if you pull Spotify for our movie preview,
it goes in twenty sections where it's like they talk
about like sp like July, they talk about sperm and
blah blah blah. So ye, I would I have not
played with the spreaker one so I could look into
that and and I could see that, so there's a
potential for it. But I yeah, I guess, and I guess.
The other thing for me is just kind of I
don't know. I'm not trying to say this in a
mean way, but all the podcasts I listened to that
Hot the Scroum Patron, like, I just had the skip
button and it takes me like a minute to get
past stuff I don't want to hear, you know, Like
if there's a segment I don't like, I'm in skip
minute three times and I'm past it, you know, Like,
and I don't go on for like fifty minutes. I'd
say it's usually like five to seven. But I can
look in that and see. But then, like even for
our general reviews, I could look into that, though for
the actual I'm more fun with the actual, like the reviews,
whether they're game or movies, the spoiler section because that
I understand.
Speaker 5: One thing I forgot to It would have been an
interesting question, Like I wonder I hope people feel about
non like the non spoiler section on TV, like TV
show things, if they care to get a non spoiler
thing for like the first ten minutes of every episode.
I feel like we should kind of just get right
into it. So if anyone has any thoughts on that,
let me know. I'm curious if you, like, if you're
tuning in on a weekly review of a show, I
feel like you're probably watching that show and have caught
up ever episode, you know, Like I feel like ninety
five percent of the people listening probably don't need a
non spoiler section, and then it ends up just us
kind of not saying, am not like much for the
first like ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Usually Yeah, if anything, it would be like the first
like the pilot episode.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I think the pilot keep it yeah,
and maybe the finale or something.
Speaker 2: If it's something big, yeah, i'd be down, Like obviously
we'llait to get take us back. I'd be down for
the occasional, like I say, we sick with the pilot
have a non spoil because like we could recommend like oh,
do you like it or do you like do we
think it'd be good for you? And if it is
something big in the finale, like when we had the
Loki finale and King showed up, that's where it's like, okay,
maybe give a warning of like, oh there's some big
here quick. But I think I'd be down for the
all the midweek TV shows just to be spoiled, cause
I think it's a good point down that most people,
if especially once they're episode four or five, like there,
they've seen it and they're there right, So Tay, what
do you think about that? While you're going we're talking
about what if we other than maybe the premiere and
maybe the odd finale for TV shows, maybe cut the
spoiler free section because obviously movies we had tons of
people even when we're live, like I see detail all
the time, like oh, I'm gonna see this movie in
two weeks. I'm just hearing that. But for shows, probably
the audience has already seen that, right too, So what
do you think?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean in some shows too, like there's
not there's not a lot to cover at times, like
a great example nine of the Seven Kingdoms, I mean, Kirkland. Fuck,
I don't know how much we could really cover this
non spoilers in for that show, right, especially with like
shorter episodes like what if we're doing for example, Andalorian
see a season whatever, it's twenty five minutes a year
new non spoilers for this unless they throw in some
jaw dropping thing. I mean, it's not I don't know,
it's not worth it.
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, okay, let's do that. I say keep the premiere,
keep aasaka general we thought, and then the finale can
be like maybe a case by case basis. I think
we all know, like a general okay, some big happens. Well, well, kurttail.
I'll put this in here too, because someone brought this
up and I want to not counterpoint it but say reasoning.
But then I also go to you guys. So someone
put in TV show reviews specifically for those I feel
like sometimes the weekly episodes can get a bit repetitive
and and done just to say that you reviewed every episode.
For some shows it works better, for others it doesn't.
A season review could be better and free up your
time to do other stuff. So I agree, and I
think this year or even last year, we're starting to
and I think this year we will play with them again.
Like ob so you're hearing us talk about it now,
Like even with GENV we told the listeners may tell.
I said, like, hey, if it doesn't hit a certain thing,
we will do just a season review. And luckily it did. Right.
I think the only issue I have with that is
with the TV reviews because I've seen it with Dexter,
and I saw with it where when the schedule gets
messed up and we're a week late or a couple
days late, in a review, you can tell those episodes
are lower. And that's the thing where like with it,
the premiere did really well and then all those episodes,
and two those episodes were one we did like a
week later or five days later, because one was Extra
Life and then one was oh Halloween, Right, they released
the days early. It can line up for us, and
I think that had the show was a little slow,
but I think that had to do with a little
bit of us losing some viewership. And my only pushback
is for people is alien and even it where it
I said like, hey, I think for season two, I
don't know if we would review this because the numbers
weren't really there, but then the penultimate episode was the
second biggest episode that month, and then the finale was
the biggest. I get the finale, but that's my pushback
for me as the content creator of I do understand that,
and I think that's it's like a Russian roulette because
you never know you're getting in with TV show episode.
But if we didn't review episodes of it, we lost
out on money on that where we were just like sure,
maybe we would have got the same number for the
finale the whole thing, but episode seven was very big,
where all the other episodes were. Honestly like, it was
the lowest series that we reviewed that year, but episode
seven and the finale were really big. Like I said,
those were the two biggest episodes of that month. So
that's my pushback of same thing of like, if we
did that for one division back in the day, that
episode where Evan Peters showed up, if we didn't review that,
we would missed I know it's marvel, but still we
would have missed tons of monetization that happened. That was
one of the biggest episodes that year. So that's where
with TV shows it's tough because you never know what's
going to be that standout episode or like I wasn't
on but like Taya, that episode you and Kirkland did
about like the Alien was the flashback and it was
pretty much like a short film of Aliens episode five
and that's the biggest It's in our top ten this year.
So the same thing of like if we skip that
best episode that got all this praise and talked about,
we lose on that. So that's where I'm very fifty
to fifty that I do agree that can get repetitive.
But if something big happens we've decided, oh we were
gonna just review the season, we've missed out on potential
new subscribers and monetization stuff. So what do you guys
feel with that.
Speaker 3: Ahead Kirky, Yeah, it's it is so tricky. I completely
agree with what you're saying. I was gonna say the
same thing like week to week, like even Tyror and
I doing Knights at the Seven Kingdoms, Like I was
describing the show to Shay and it's just like there's
really not that much to talk about it, and like
Taylor and I did a whole episode review of it,
but like I don't know if that's gonna be the
same next week, Like maybe next week fucking dragons come in,
and it's just it's a whole different, like you know
what I mean, Like there's just it really really is
week to week for certain shows. I think we could definitely.
I feel like a lot of it is geared towards
our overall vibe too, with like our hype on a show,
like like obviously it comes into factory of play. It's like,
are people really wanting to listen to this specific show
review We're already not super hyped on it. Like I
think the most recent example of that would have been
like Ironheart, no disrespect to the show, I still haven't
seen it, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which we did review, right, we did schedule to.
Speaker 3: Review it, and then we're like, oh, we'll just talk
about it all the end.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you just talked about it.
Speaker 4: I don't know, did you did, like.
Speaker 2: Fifteen minutes on Tress told you yeah, but not even
as like I'm reviewing Ironheart. It was just someone asked
in the comments. It's like, sure, you know. But that's
tough though, because like I can't remember me too. When
we're looking at stats about the Alien. That's where it's
like near the end, we were pretty native on that show,
but that was still one of our biggest things, right,
so it wasn't even the fact that we were not
jigging with the show. It's still pulled numbers for us.
So yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 3: It is Uh, it is interesting. It is tricky, yeah,
because I feel like it also like I can imagine
it's not super interesting to listen to, but like even
some episodes when it feels like what is there to
talk about for this episode, like you can feel it
while you're recording it, So that doesn't really feel too
great either, So I definitely want to avoid that. But
in terms of like just bowing out of the show
like episode two, oh yeah, no, we're just not gonna
review it all. It like who makes that? Like how
do we make that decision? We don't know what next
week is gonna be. But it's very I think case
by case basis is on what the show is.
Speaker 5: I think it's a it's funny going back to like
the comments on Evergreen stuff, like definitely a series review
like this is a season one review. It's the whole
season that's like way more Evergreen of a thing. People like,
I think in the future really like the week to
week stuff. Are the people who are listening week to
week and want, like, you know, that weekly discussion of it.
But if you want to go back in time, you know,
you're probably not gonna listen to every single unless you're
like super passionate about a show. Maybe you're like, oh,
I want to hear everything, but it might even be
frustrated to do that because you're listening to us on
episode two theorizing what's gonna happen in episode three you
though you already know. And maybe that is fun, But
I think for a lot of people, they just want like, oh,
I just want like a one I just want like
a two hour discussion on I was gonna say Ironheart,
but I don't think anyone wants that. I want a
two hour discussion on Alien Earth the whole thing. I
want the fun, one big discussion there. But like for
us to do that, we would probably do it right
around the finale times. Then we'd have two episodes releasing
around the same time that are kind of about the
same thing, but one of them is like better in
the long term, one's better in the short term, So
it's it's tricky, and yeah, to Kirklam's point, it's like,
if we know the future and we know how good
every episode is going to be and how interesting they're
gonna be, then we could make our decisions so much better.
But we're just going into it flying blind, and we've
already like, oh, yeah, I've planned Sunday night, I'm gonna
watch this and do a review. So it's like I
haven't made plans for Sunday night to do other stuff,
you know. So it's, uh, that's a tricky one, but
I think I guess the main thing is like for
our numbers generally, and to keep the lights on all
that kind of stuff at the TV show Weekly reviews
that does. That's a nice boon. That's a nice uh
you know thing to have in our pocket.
Speaker 2: So yeah, go away. And I think maybe when we're
like when Kirkle was saying, like, oh, sometimes you can
fill it up so there's not much to talk, but
maybe that will help us when we do the spoilers now,
like we cut the spoiler free all right, and maybe
it's just a bit shorter and it's like, hey, we
only got twenty five minutes to talk about this episode.
But it is just that it's not just a stretching
thin because then it's more quality I think for you
guys listening, because that's the thing too, like in that
if we do a whole series review, that might happened.
But if there's pep that like that show or even
care about that show, if there's a podcast is reviewing
every episode, I feel they're still gonna go to them,
right because like, well, I've been with them for the
whole journey, so here you go, versus I don't know
who these guys are and they're just jumping in and
that's whe it's tough because we've even said that before too,
like when the show's i'd have to look at old
stats and even like not so much to the Netflix era,
but of recent I feel like when shows drop stuff
on the binge, it doesn't have the same effect even
numbers for us because people don't talk about as much. Right,
It's there for a little bit and then it moves on.
Where Alien Earth was that thing where like every week
it was chugging. Like I said, I'm looking at right
now three episodes in the top twenty, and that's something
where it's like if you skip out on those they're
gone like and or, and I think I guess we'll
have to see the next few years as well too,
because I feel like with streaming shows, it's becoming sometimes
even more popular movies because like people are at home, right,
it's not everybody sees a movie where they go where, hey,
it's a click of a button, and I don't know,
I guess I think it's something we have to watch.
But I think I'm still fine though, if there is
stuff where we watch numbers and there's something midway where
it's like, you know what, this isn't really worth it now. Again,
there's a gamble of we might miss something big, but
maybe sometimes we're gonna lose out and we just do
something else, right, like we find another way to do
some sort of content or something. So any thoughts, Dan.
Speaker 4: No, I agree. I think that you you don't want
to run the risk of missing out on those big
episodes that are just like one out of eight in
a season. And I mean, you're gambling for sure, you
don't know what's going to happen. But I think more
often than not, a lot of shows these days tend
to have that that heavy hitter of an episode that
you can can foresee or maybe plan with. But again,
you can't really gauge for it, but I think you can, well,
you can engage and can guarantee is that usually a
starter of a season and the finale is going to
probably be your biggest episodes, right, So yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think like, for example, it if that
that show, I would not have watched it if it
weren't for podcasts. But for the most part, like ninety
five percent of the shows that we review, I feel
like we would probably be watching those shows weekly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Anyway, and we obviously do a podcast other stuff. We
like talking about this stuff, so I think it just
for the most part, it's it's literally just what we
want to do. Anyway, we're watching it weekly, we want
to talk about weekly, so we derive pleasure from that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like Krooklin Ziinnheart example, right, we weren't really that
hot on it, and same thing like next week, like
I have it on the dock and me and Dylan
if we have enough time to watch it, the planets
do like a wonder Man review. But if life gets
in the way and it doesn't work out for us,
then it's not like a it's we're not doing all
the cliff here. It's like, oh man, we're missing on
wonder man. Maybe there's some grain there. I don't know,
but it's like, I, you know, I want to so
let's see. This is like on a two for on
the video. Someone's asked and I want to look into this,
and we only had a few more. One thing you
could do is add a live streamlink in the discord,
if it's not too troublesome. I would like to see
if I could link that up with because I know
there's a streaming tab. I've never looked into what that does.
I never usually share episodes in there because I never
want to feel like I'm like we're bombarding with like
here's our survey, here's this, here's us live, like I
always still wanted to try to be that, but I'd
like to see if I could try to link out
with that streaming way and if there is a way
stream yard to get that where it's like, okay, you
can see we go live, but then you could just
ignore that if you don't want to watch right now
or whatever. It may be right So, I don't know,
And then someone did ask yeah, and then someone did
ask for ad free video recordings. I might try to
add that because if people have noticed lately, I've been
trying to keep up on it. I've been adding the
videos to the Spotify feeds now. The only problem is
I gotta wait for the episode to post. It's about
like half an hour forty five maybe an hour of
it's slow, and then I can upload the video. I've
been doing that. The biggest pain in the butt for
me is I wish Patreon you could upload the video directly.
You can't. It always has to be a link. So
what I would have to do is, let's say like this,
I'd have to have the town hall and then I
would have to upload the ad free video unlisted on there.
I know some people like detail Maddy, like every week
if I forget the link, they hit me, O, hey
where's video link? Where's video link? So if there's maybe
that's something I might do, like a mini serve in
the future, ask like, hey how much? Because I usually
add that. I didn't do that this year, like what
do you listen on? If there's more people wind the
video ad free, then I can try to look some
time to it. It's just more of pain. That's why
it's not up there is because if Patron had a
direct upload, oh, I easily would, but it's just a
pain that I have to there's to be two video,
two versions of each video, right unless you have YouTube
Premium or whatnot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if there's like a big ask for that, I
think we can definitely do it. But at the time being,
that's a lot of extra work for like, yes, you
know it just can our time be spent elsewhere, I
guess is the thing. But if there's a lot of
other people that want that, please let us know right now.
Within a couple of people requesting it, it's like kind
of hard to go all in on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, anything we brought up tonight, whether it's
direct message, Pratron discord, let us know. Someone brought this
and I'm not gonna read the full thing, but they said,
I'm scraping the bar here, so I appreciate that. Said,
maybe you should extend the MCU Golden Geese to an
action adventure sci fi movie, Golden Geeks. That's kind of
a gold circle.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 2: Golden Geeks kind of started as that and then we
all kind of every year gun debate of what was qualifying,
what wasn't, so we just made every movie. So I
don't think we would circle back to that because I
think we're gonna wait and see. I think we've kind
of had a general idea that we're doing the m
SU Golden Geeks this year. I think we're gonna wait
till Secret Wars at least, but we might sunset the
MCU Golden Geeks after that if they do slow down
on projects, because we were put that in when they
were doing like twelve fourteen projects, but now they are
starting to get a bit more limited.
Speaker 5: So keep it alive with like phase five. Yeah, like
it overall still Yeah, yeah, somewhere.
Speaker 2: No, I actually think that's a good idea. So but yeah,
that's kind of it. So I don't know if we'll
go back to that per se, Like maybe maybe there's
a little just additions like we've had like the horror
category in there before and stuff, but I'll say a
TVD We'll we'll see, but we'll stick to reilar Golden Geeks.
I think this kind of was in with the Movie
Club thing of like more polls and opportunities for participate
in streams after nine GVDA trivia, which you know, tear.
Everyone loves those, so and yeah, maybe that's something too
again where I don't know if Taya wants to work,
but maybe that's one of the like dealings some about
those online events. Maybe Taylor does that true twice a year,
you know, and maybe there's one time where that Q
one we're gonna do another Tator trivia and we make
it a day and stuff. I don't know. Uh, Taylor,
I know it's put more work on you, but uh,
maybe that's more stuff we can do that's online. And
it's also a streaming thing, you know.
Speaker 4: I love the idea of doing like stuff like that
is more on online.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: And yeah, the trivia would be a lot of fun
and it's a lot of work, it really is. Because
there's the way I make it more difficult on myself,
the way I just kind of build it for like
team by team, because I usually go by like question question, question, question, question, question,
and so forth. And then I'm trying to think, Okay,
how can I make sure like Gift to Foresight gets
used in this way and stacks.
Speaker 2: With other for that you have to find a way
to make that have to happen next year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna make a comeback for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's definitely something possible again, Like that's something
that we're still planning doing game like at some point
this year in the countyar I'd love to do another
poker night because we only did that once, but the
first one was really fun. I'd love to find out
which console, Like do a lot of people own Mario,
Like I think we talked about Mario Kart, But the
same thing is like, okay, who owns a switch? Who
owns that specific game?
Speaker 5: Right, clock Tower? That will that will be really fun.
Speaker 2: Clock Tower would be great. So and that's always the
tough things with that too, is with Afrinhaine and the
talking episodes, that's like, okay, we can either do it
with just us in one person or a full panel
where sometimes it's the game. It's like, hey, we have
we really have to plan at events of like, Okay,
sometime that date's gonna work for somebody, but not for anybody, right,
So it's just it's a tough it's a tough balance,
but well we'll try and figure that out.
Speaker 4: We successfully did Avalon I think it was for an
after night I remember we did Yeah, yeah, so it's
it's it's cool how you can incorporate like board games
in that in that way.
Speaker 2: Actually, the only afternine Serrus has ever been on he
was on that episode there, so oh yeah, fun fact
for you. But yeah, no, I think there's stuff or
and same thing. We put it to a pool and
find what people are interested in. And then the last
one I have. I don't know if these guys have
much to say on it, but I will speak to
it because I don't know. For a fact. I feel
like it's more directed at me because I can sometimes
get a little political. But but the person put and
I'm not trying to take shots at all, So just
walk with me for a second. If this is a listener,
because it isn't honous, so I don't know. I guess
it is. But generally you're pretty good. But I'm assuming
and an in quotations because I am most of your
audiences American, which they are. That's our number one audience.
Keep the political opinion open. I like hearing other culture views,
but don't bash either side. So here's the thing I
guess on that point is I don't think I've ever
bashed either side, and if I have, I can bash
both sides. There was times when this podcast started that
we were making Trump jokes. There's times where we've made
Joe Biden jokes. I think for me it is like
I've never you can't find a clip of me specifically
bashing one political side or another. You can find clips
of me bashing a particular person or a group of people,
because most of the time those issues are not political.
Those are human issues. So anything to do with fucking
ice or people being homophobic or transphobic, or sexist or racist,
to me, there's political and then there's the human issues.
Those are on a different sphere. And I'm always I'm
talking for myself and I'll get on trash told you
and if you don't like that, then I'd recommend you
don't listen. I've never done like a political show. It's
just like something in the news might happen. I might
have a comment on it. Those human issues, on any
of those phobias or fucking school shootings, I'm not gonna
worry about bashing a person because that's not political anymore.
Those are way past that point. And for me, it's
like I always want people to support this and have
a good time, and if you can support us through Patreon.
I very much appreciate that. But if any of those
things I listed that you're like, oh, that's not a
really big thing for me for my show personally, the
trash told you, I don't need you as a listener, Like,
if there's any of those type of things that you
don't think are big issue to me, they are and
can be. Those are things that affect other people, and
we try to keep I think we keep it pretty
open here, and I think this is why I think
I would have understood this compent more if someone said, hey,
try not to be political at all, because I understand that.
I understand. I've said the two events in America. It
was the twenty sixteen election in here was COVID our
North America is very political now. So I understand if
you log on and let's say it's Tras told you
and you hear me make a joke or say something
about somebody like oh fuck, like more political stuff like
I just want to scape it. That I get. But
the bashing a certain side for me, I guess it's
just I don't bash the sides because I've said this
before that Eileen left, But I have political views that
I agree with on the right, I don't like, Oh,
if someone was posing my side on this view, I
couldn't be friends with them. I'm not gonna say anything,
but I know for a fact there's two people on
this panel that last election voted differently than me, and
I'm like, well, I can't be your friend anymore because
you were on that side. I'm like, you can't, you know.
So it's like for me though, all those issues I listed,
that's what I know about these three that if any
of those guys were those type of things, I would
not either they would not be on the show or
I would not be a part of Geek first. And
that's the thing where there's different political opinions, but that
is no longer political stuff. And my last one is
just like I don't think the show ever gets too political.
We talked about here and there, but like, that's the
and the thing I like that all positive most pause
stuff was they still like that. We keep that vibe
that we're friends, hanging out, friends in the basement. Right.
If you're asking me, like, hey, I really wish you
wouldn't say that thing about that political issue for me,
then you're asking to censor me. You're you're trying to
get me not to be what I am. And we're
not a critic, we're not a pundit. It is just
a podcast of people hanging out talking. Sure we have
critical views, but that's where it's like, this would be
my genuine self. So if there's some and I'm also
it's anonymous, so the person will never come forward if
there's something where you'd go, hey, you said this, and
for this particular reason, I didn't agree with X, Y
and Z. I'm always open as long as it's like
an open book, non offensive conversation. I'm always open to
have that conversation. But if it's all that other stuff
that's not political to me, it's I'm not gonna censor myself.
If someone's trying to take gay marriage away, it's like, no,
that's no longer my opinion. It's not coming down to
political stuff. So and I don't even think we get
that political on this cast. So i'd have to see
the certain situation, but I'm not sure if you guys
had anything to add to that. I just thought thought, okay,
I was kind of curious about this comment because I
don't think i've ever been like, you know, if you're right,
if you are a publican, if you are on the right,
I don't want you listen to this show because you know,
I lean different ways, but I usually more like left leaning,
so I I've never done that per se. So but.
Speaker 5: Taylor's got thoughts, go for it.
Speaker 4: I was just gonna make a joke and say Brettan
better Kirkland, but no, I'm not gonna go there.
Speaker 2: Why you shouldn't listen to Travis Told You?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I I'm really curious to hear more context on
this comment. And maybe maybe it is a Travis told
You thing, because I listen to somebody on all those episodes,
So I don't know what you've been what you've been
saying over there, but everything you just said, you know,
gets gets the thumb up from me. I agree with
your kind of point of view on that stuff. So
I would be curious to hear what this is because
you know, if it's if we're talking about one battle
at or another or Captain America or something like. You know,
there are political themes that will naturally come up in
terms of like how we're critically reviewing a thing and
talking about it. I I feel like, yeah, I very
rarely share like political takes of any kind, uh, at
least in my opinion on the podcast at all. So yeah,
I'm curious where this comment is coming from. But uh uh,
it's hard. It's so vague, like I don't know what
it's saying. Honestly, the comment is hard to know one
what exactly it means. So I don't know. It's hard
for me to dig too deep if you have a
specific example of like, hey, this was like a problematic
thing you guys said, please send it our way, absolutely
review it. But I don't think that's happened at least
not in when I've been in an earshot of these
uh hooligans here on my episode with me.
Speaker 2: Here, make a bot account and even send it so
we know, you know, make account on YouTube, send it,
because that's I'm always down for a conversation. I just
hope it's not like when we're talking about Daredevil Borne
again and clearly Fisk is making like it's a Trump
allegory right now we're about then we say anything in
the Nake of Lights, I'm like, wow, you said something
about that. It's like that's what the show is also betraying. Right,
like that thing we are covering like Mickey seventeen last
year or I guess, god, if was that last year? No?
Two years ago? Now right?
Speaker 5: Oh, come on, it better be some of your golden
geeks categories, Travis, you have to know what year it came.
Speaker 2: Out, So last year, So last year came out daredevil,
Like there's a lot of stuff, And I get that,
right because I think even we talk about the cocktail
Clay he was one of those people. He said, I'm
kind of getting tired of that, and I share with
them another thing of like I can't remember what I
watched recently, but the whole like oh, rich people are bad.
I'm like, oh, I'm getting tired of this trope. So
I understand that if it was like if you meant
to say it more in general, like hey, I just
am really tired of politics and I don't really want
much speak. I get that, and I'll try not to
always just make it too much. But it is tough
when lots of things we're talking about are covering that,
even Brave New World, right, it's like Red Hall, like
he's a he's a president that might explode because of
his policy. Like it's like they're trying to. Like, there's
many things in the art form right now that are
tackling that. So that's where it's kind of tough because
we can't just I feel like we'd be bad podcasters.
And if we don't talk about real life allegory stuff,
whether they're correctly done or not, that's always in art, right, So.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean if it was just like one
of us saying that Trump's a piece of shit and
you agree with that, and then like, well, we're gonna
keep saying that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, I'm always gonna say that, And again I
didn't say like and the entire pero like everyone that's
red go like no, Like it's just like people can
say that about other people too, Like it's just like
it's it's weird. But I think that's just the It's
just also the world where in I think everyone's very heightened.
I was talking about this before, where it's just like
I watched a show from the Oughts and they have
a family that's left and right, and the show's fill
with jokes about each other and all the shot we're nowadays,
it's like a joke about any political thing. It feels like, oh,
you're gonna get like a fifteen page like this is
why it does damage to Canada or America. It's it's like,
definitely political stuff is important. I'm not saying that, like
go and vote and share your issues and stuff, but
I think there's also people are very this this decade
because of somethings, justifiably are very charged up about it,
you know, So, Kirkly, I know you've been waiting all
night to get to this topic.
Speaker 3: Nope, that's the last thing.
Speaker 2: Had Was there anything else comments, anything that I didn't
tackle on here that was worth bringing up?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess again, so nice, Like obviously we're talking
about like mostly trying to highlight criticism type things because
that's the it's too easy to do that. It's so
easy to read even this beautiful survey people saying really
nice things, and your eyes just like glued to like
anything that's semi negative, which there was not a lot of,
because that's just how the stupid human brain works, unfortunately,
But oh my god, so many beautiful comments in here
that made my day. So thank you all for writing in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that whole last section of the I'm not gonna
read it, but the any overall thought about geek. First,
most of it was just love what you're doing. More
of it, like, it was very kind, hard so we're
very lucky to be, you know, growing in some places
people still carrying stuff.
Speaker 4: So Taylor, it might have glazed off. Maybe I was away.
Did you mention the GPT aspect?
Speaker 2: I did not, so I you wanted to bring that up.
Speaker 4: I couldn't even.
Speaker 5: Figure out what your nickname was. I was like, what
are you talking about that? I could trap goodn't either.
Speaker 2: That's why I didn't include him, like, I'm not talking
about this where I'll find this specific quote here. Okay,
so this was something from somebody says I think the
chat GPT predictions sadly need to go. There were some
funny moments at the beginning, but now it feels sicky
because the use of AI. So tea obviously big proponent.
You brought it in, and obviously it has led to
some he did it. It's in his name, it's in
his name, you brought it in, and it has created
some good moments, but also because of real word implications.
AI's a very mixed bag, I'd say right now, right
of lots of people do use it, but then they're
all scared. Yeah, no, people are scared, whether it's real
life stuff, whether it's job stuff, and look at it
that way. I think for me, I'm very fifty to
fifty on it because I think they have they've varied
in quality to lower because I think the ais are
smarter so they're not as funny. But then there's like
when we did the Dexter one that was we did
Dexter Joined Mission Impossible, and it was one of the
funniest things of last year. So that's where it's just
for me, I see both sides of it being lower
quality and the AI thing. But I also don't think
it's like when people are stealing work or photoshopping celebrities
new like, I think it's a very minor stuff. But
and I also this was just one comment, so it
wasn't like a bunch of people, But Toyo, you want
to bring it up, so what were your your thoughts
and then you can throw the other guys too.
Speaker 4: I think using it for using it for everything like
every because of that type of predictions is like, okay,
probably not, no, we don't need to do that. But
I think if the heavy hitters, like a DC star Wars,
Marvel stuff like that. I think, Okay, there's a lot
of wiggle room for that, and yeah, like it's not
it's not copying. It's not like killing anyone's job or
anything like that. And I don't see it necessarily it's
causing harm on this. I mean, well, it might.
Speaker 2: Be copying somewhere. It's definitely caught. Like don't the chat
if any take from like an article there, article here
and then form its own like ideas or opinions.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it's sourcing like a character so it knows
about Captain America and stuff from writing like give me
a brave New World to storyline or whatever. But I
think that there is a lot more play to be
had with it in a fun sense. But I don't
I don't think we need to hit it with every
single Predictions episode. And there's lots of stuff in there
that we can just kind of like, Okay, we don't
need to do it. But I think if we create
certain scenarios too that are fun, Like didn't we do
uh Harry Potter Lord of the Rings crossover?
Speaker 2: We did that was like a patron brand but.
Speaker 4: And that got pretty sweet. That was that was awesome
and then we what was the other one we did
because we had it, like didn't we have us as
like a movie, write a movie with a podcast almost
villain the movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just geek for the movie, and it gives this
trilogy and stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which I think I got to do a sequel
to that because it was it got pretty juicy. But yeah, no,
there's there's just so many zany different outcomes that it
can be whipping out, and I think that creates positive discussion,
uh and and laughs and whatnot. And but like I said,
not all of them are our hitters, and there's definitely
some stuff that it struck. It struck struck fucking hell
strikes and strucks out. It struck out, it struck out,
struck out god damn, which.
Speaker 2: I can't get because there's been times where that happens
and it's like, oh, that wasn't worth it. And then
we just had you ramble on for ten to fifty inches,
which I'm sure people still like sound your voice.
Speaker 4: But when we talk about Luke's Fleet, you know.
Speaker 2: No, no, and that's tough where we started because I
feel like Lord of the Rings, that the GV one
loose Fleet, those were those first early ones, and they
were all bangers.
Speaker 5: I almost forgot about Luke's fleet sleep.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so I and this one where I feel
like if people had an issue also wouldnt be anonymous,
but like, if more people feel like this, I definitely
like you can speak up, like I'm not going to
be offended. Yeah, I can understand someone on the political ones,
like I don't want to step on their toes, and
I think differently. I get that I'm not gonna be
mad if you're like, hey, kill that this segment of
doing that right like this is it's just like a
chat cheept.
Speaker 4: Let us know if you want a specific chat GEPT segment.
If you want me to put.
Speaker 2: In that prompt, I'll put it in your Taylor is yeah, yeah,
what political things does this geek for his feel.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not married to it. If if a lot
of people feel dicky than considered dead at least on
the stuff I have control.
Speaker 3: Over Kirkling thoughts, I'm more in favor of it. But yeah,
I can. There's definitely something that are hitters over others,
so I can definitely understand. I feel like I've been
in the middle of Taylor just going on long like
reading of a paragraph, and I'm like, I don't even
know where we are anymore, Like we're just super weeds here.
Speaker 2: What happens happened? Yeah? And then it struck by Kirkling
on the political stuff. That's give me your full history. Yeah,
any anything else Ty you brought that? Was there anything
else that struck your eye? Taylor in there?
Speaker 4: Well it struck my Let me do a quick scroll
here just to meshure my eyes are struck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I guess I didn't answer. I see the
poll I got at least sixty six percent on people
wanting a third trust you. I'm gonna taker that I
might might make that maybe a patron exclusive one, because
that might be some more evergreen stuff, because I might
try and do maybe like once a month some Moore.
I did that this month with my movie rankings. And
I'm still kind of plugging with the two day system one.
I'm gonna see what's gonna happen when things change and
it goes back to work and stuff. So that's all
I have to say on that.
Speaker 5: Nothing else from me, I don't know. I guess I
mean going back to the gaming retro or indie game stuff,
like if you want specific things. Let me know. If
you want a specific game or retro thing, put it
in front of my face, and then I promise you
I'll write it down and then it will probably get
done at some point.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that and I know someone else put in there.
So if you were wondering, I think because they've been
out people got that answer. But in case not, the
drafts do some stakes this year. So obviously movie draft
and a video game draft will happen. They will be
next year because the winners, but there'll be some other
random retro drafts and stuff. And there was another well
the other one too, I couldn't remember dealing. This is
not off of what's done. Did we ever end up doing?
I thought at one point we talked about doing the
horror movie fighters like in a roster.
Speaker 5: I do have it written down because I had in
the last like two Halloween's they've just been like zy months,
and there's a couple.
Speaker 2: Of comments about that of like doing more of those,
which those are fun. I know at one point, Dan,
you want to do the smash one that one, so
like same same thing for that if you have like
obviously has to be something in our sphere, right, So
don't be like, oh, the Gossip Girl fighting game like no,
like something that we know in love or even if
it's combined like it was just a TV show character
like just like overall, like those are always fun making
the roster having a specific list the unlockable. So if
you have any more ideas on those ones, those are
one of my favorite gaming casts to do. Is the
fighting roster blank? You know squads so.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmmm, Travis, No, I've never seen it.
Speaker 5: Really.
Speaker 3: I feel like we've talked about Gospel Girl in the past.
Speaker 2: I've seen some of it em we watched it, but
I've never watched it. Starting to finish, Kirk, do you
have anything?
Speaker 4: Nope?
Speaker 2: Okay, tare you scanned? Was there anything?
Speaker 4: You're smiling like, I'm smiling. I just want to circle back.
I'm kidding.
Speaker 2: I put in that comment issues.
Speaker 4: No, I just I can't if you guys mentioned it.
But I would be cool to figure out a way
to do like somewhere behind the scenes kind of stuff
just to kind of like show some of the chaos.
Speaker 2: H Taylor's pitch it was so great. His his pitch
was like we should do behind the scenes this, this
and this, and it was stuff of like we haven't
done that in six years. Like he's like, oh, when
we're all together in a cast and we're in person,
it's like that happens twice a year and.
Speaker 3: We're usually pretty busy pitching all of us, like in
a car going somewhere.
Speaker 2: He lost the car. He misses the vlogs and stuff
we used to do back in the day. But yeah,
I would look, that's another thing too, if there's stuff
you want us to know, because I feel like we
do behind the scenes stuff when we do like like
in audio like Originals or Brendan, but times we talk
about the stuff. But like I always said last year,
like oh, I'll give you guys updates to the movies.
I always forgot my goals, like once a month, I'm
gonna post like a couple paragraphs and image of what
I'm working on. But if you guys have anything specifically
you would like to know. I also saw someone said
like a Q and a session like for patrons, which
is like, I guess, but like we ask for questions
like every day. I guess that's always a tough thing
of like newscasts anything like where it's I don't know
what that would be because we're always like, hey, send
us a question about this topic, send us a question
about this game or movie. So if there's anything you know,
let us know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess I'll put that out there for first
side quest. Like the few times where I've asked for
questions or top like, you know, I people won't hear things.
I don't really get a lot of feedback, Like I
don't really hear much from people. So if you guys
do want that more and it just so happened in
the weeks I have asked for that, you just haven't
had a thing. Let me know. I can start, you know,
posting on a Patreon. Hey, any any question or thing
you want discussed on side quests this week I can
I can do more of than I Just like I
said in the past, time I have done, I haven't
really got much many bites on that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, that's why I said earlier like this
some of the evergreen stuff. That's where it comes down
to that one more a fan interaction that comes down
to you guys, right, and even like I for side
quest for Tress told you other stuff. You can ask
random stuff. If Dylan posts like hey, I'm talking about this,
even if it's something that maybe you won't tackle on
that review, maybe the next cast where it's just like
a news or a ranking or stuff it's like or
in what we've been playing section, I'm sure to be like, oh,
we'll talk about this question here right like that's what
I did. I said again with Mike's questions at all,
that'd be too long, but I'm gonna talk about this
next week. So even if you feel it's not on topic, like,
drop it in there. And if we have something valuable
to add, obviously, if it's something we've never seen or played,
it might be oh, I can't help you. But whatever
you thought, like we're we're an open door, or the
restaurant's always open. It's online, so the same thing. The
patron's there, it's it's never closed. Drop and there's the
there's the DMS as well too. If there's something you're
not sure you want to ask, like, hit us up
and one of us will answer you like it's it's
all there. We try to be as open as possible.
Speaker 1: So m.
Speaker 2: You did, did you have anyone behind the scenes thing
you want to do? And in your car? We gotta
get in a car.
Speaker 4: Apparently, I don't know. I mean, I think the only
behind the scenes things I can think of are just
when we are together for twenty four hours, I think, Okay,
there's stuff here, Like if the guys are going out
to go do a food run, put the camera out,
you know, record what goes down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, get my fifteen minute break on a twenty four
hour life to make more content.
Speaker 2: That's yeah. I think that's where it comes down to,
because I think it was different.
Speaker 5: Like energy it takes to be on for twenty four
hours strength.
Speaker 2: I think back in the day when we would do that,
it would be like either E three Comic Con or.
Speaker 5: Gaunt that records me stuffing my face and looking at
the fool as I'm throwing sushi down the down the pipe.
Speaker 2: Those fifteen minutes where I'm outside and then against the
food that it's like, okay, I'm gonna take a little
break there. So, like I understand the idea, Taylor, but
it's like it and it's all we we've tobably before.
But it's the same thing. If there's something that we're
not thinking of, throw it out there.
Speaker 4: So well, when you know the movies, movies are coming out,
the pipeline let's look forward to that. If you want
behind the scenes, there's lots of buying the scenes that
will be coming.
Speaker 2: Yes for patrons. As I've said before, the plan is
we will release publicly by themselves, likely just on YouTube,
but then everything commentary tracks, bloopers, behind the scenes that
will be on the extended once. If you already brought Adrenochrome,
it's like a voucher. You'll get that copy. You don't worry,
you don't have to rebuy it. But that's how it
will go in the future. So when those, yeah, those
will Adrena Chrome will release this fall, and then for
Love should release this fall as well for a preview
patroon weekend. It depends because as I'm editing it, there
was one scene that might need some snow. So if
we can't shoot the next two months, it might be
early next year because I need some snow because I
saw some scene like hey, went from snow to no
snow and it just was not looking good, so I
want to reshoot something. So yeah, that's the only update
on those. I'm just editing away. That's why there's not
much updates because we're not filming right now until what
is it's like February and then it's just me at
a computer, like this scene goes here, This audio was there,
So that's why I don't know, juice. But when there's shoes,
you'll get it. Anything else, I think that's pretty good.
So I think we answered it all. If there's anything
we didn't answer or something we said that you want
more clarification again, you're on all the links, social media, Discord, Patreon,
let us know. But until then we'll be doing this
will be shelved until next year and then, Yeah, we
got a bunch of content this year, like we said,
most we've ever for Patreon, so please stay subscribed or
up your Tier's gonna be lots of great episodes we're
gonna do after nins, we said, we talk about game nights.
Lots of good just content on the feed. Yeah, and
you're getting stuff almost every Monday. On the Friday, you
got side quests. You gotta trash told you weekly geek.
There's usually main episode, a TV review, so there's I
think your your gullet should be full, but obviously there's
something we can do. Let us know. It's been our
pleasure to serve you. And yeah, here's a twenty twenty six.
We'll be worn.
Speaker 5: Bye Bye
