Hello, everybody, and welcome to Geekenders.

A Geek Enders.

Yay!

Sorry, Dikes.

Yeah, there can be.

I did for a minute forget this is also an audio program, so I just did a dance.

But like, uh, I realized I probably should have said something, right?

Yeah,

I am dancing for the listeners at home.

Hello, for those of you at home listening to the various podcasts, I'm doing the robot or something similar to it.

Like, like you're cutting, you're like, you're cutting through the waves of

water being blashed, splashed at you by our paperclip Miku.

Splash, splash.

The paperclip Miku is moving.

Thank you.

I'm glad someone has to go.

Thank God for G-Mart.

People are going to be like, I have him on every time, dude.

Yeah.

So I heckied up today.

I thought that Jesse was not going to be here because we had a conversation that I misunderstood deeply.

And so I grabbed G-Mart last minute, Octo even more last minute to be on the podcast.

And then Jesse wound up being here.

So

I must stress, it is also partly my fault.

I did start the conversation with this Friday, but then followed up with

I will be gone.

I would, you know, can you grab someone for that episode?

I was talking about August 8th.

Yeah, he was talking about

this Friday.

I meant like this Friday, I wanted to talk to you about

the future that I will not be here two weeks from now.

Right.

But it was a failure to communicate in all parts, and you feel like it would be easy considering it's just text.

But

nope, Nope.

I mean, considering everything, I feel like we kind of stuck to landing.

Like, I'm not trying to, yeah, I feel like we kind of,

you know what?

I know we just started, but yeah,

the vibes are really good.

Good job, everybody.

Thanks for coming to Geekanders, everyone.

This is a great podcast.

I had a great time.

Thanks for having me.

I loved that.

I loved that.

Thank you guys so much.

Gmart Octo.

GMART, you've never been on the show before.

Do you want to tell everybody who you are and

what you do?

Yeah.

Hi.

My name is Gmart.

I play video games on Twitch.

And that's about it.

I'll play like any video game.

People are always like, what's your game?

And I'm like, just any.

And they're like, that doesn't help in this conversation.

Some sort of video game.

What do you?

Yeah.

You're just sleeping around with any game?

I'm like, yeah.

Is that what we're here?

If it's new, yeah.

Yeah.

If it's new and exciting, why not?

It's spicing my life up.

um

i can't settle down with any game you'll never get him to settle down gaming bachelor

gaming bachelor if i may pitch you a little bit gmart

um gmart is maybe one of the most naturally funny people that i know i'm actually on a podcast right now with three people that i think are deeply funny so i'm let's go we love that what's that podcast dodger yeah what is that it's three people i think are deeply funny it's dodger jesse and G-Mart.

You meant this podcast?

This one, right now.

I thought you meant another podcast.

I thought you were on like another podcast.

Gmart's playing every game.

Dufs is on every podcast.

Can no one commit to anything?

I told you I thought you were talking about Jesse.

Right now, I'm with Jesse, Octo, and Gmart, who are all expert goofsters.

I so didn't believe that statement.

I thought you meant another podcast.

Like you and G-Mart Raw.

I was like, oh, is it like an anime podcast?

That's what I honestly got and I was ready to hear it.

Really funny, guys.

Yeah, I'm the only one here who's committed to one video game for the rest of my life, and that's Neopet's The Darkest Fairy for the PS2.

How are you doing in that?

Not very well.

No?

Are you actually playing that?

So there's a funny story about that.

I applied to the Sajam Slam, and it said, What game do you mostly stream?

And I put Neopets the Darkest Fairy for the PS2.

And I think that's why I got turned down, but I also think it might be because I applied as Jimmy Carter Big Naturals.

But I don't know if that had anything.

Yeah,

there's a lot of like landmines in that action.

Yeah,

keep getting away with it.

They have to get through the shell before they get to the creamy center, really.

Honestly, I can't believe how many events you're allowed to go to with the name.

I'm like surprised he's not just universally like blacklisted company.

Right?

Yes.

You are Octopimp.

You are assigned as Octopimp.

So there's a few instances where that has happened.

And well, so the biggest one I will always.

find amazing that they didn't change my name was Arc Revo, which is like the big final tournament every year.

That's like the Capcom Cup for Arc System Arcs games.

And in 2019, I qualified for the world tour because I won my last chance qualifier pool for Guilty Gear Xerd.

And my name was TittysuckerBot3000X69.

And they didn't make me change it.

And I'm on the Japanese tournament tracking site as that.

They didn't change my name.

I thank you so much.

No, you can't take him anywhere.

No, you don't.

Chuck and cheese are nothing.

It's the only thing.

No, yeah, it's it.

I'm all in.

I'm Waymo Roadhead for Evo this year.

I must.

Shout out to Gmart.

Shout out to Gmart for that one.

I must stress, for anyone who watches who has never seen October, ever, our dear sweet boy Octo, you notice whenever he comes on this show, does some stupid ass clip art thing with this damn pool in the background.

It is funny.

And for some reason, Dodger allows this nonsense.

Meanwhile,

October out there on a normal stream, just being a handsome lad doing his streams.

And it's like, you would think he doesn't have a camera.

No, Octo is just trolling because he's a bastard.

And frankly, I'm tired of it.

No, wait, this is a great segue because remember how I said I had a funny story about a good email?

So in the pre-show,

Jesse got a good email.

And

so.

I want to say in 2017 for Halloween, remember how everybody would like change their name to be like a Halloween name on Twitter?

I changed my name to the scariest thing I could imagine, which was erotic Digimon fanfiction.

And I still get emails addressed to erotic Digimon fanfiction in my business email.

I was erotic Digimon fanfiction for a month.

For a month.

And I still get emails to that.

I'm like, why?

I don't get it.

Is it

to the username?

Or is it

scrap data in that month?

Scraped by data.

That was just for that one month, and that's it.

I don't know why.

I still get dear erotic Digimon fan fiction.

We have a thing we'd like to tell you about and that you're going to delete this email, but we're sending it to you in a while.

I know they're an old head, though.

Yeah, that's true.

They're classic fans.

I've been here.

Yeah, they're classic fans.

Yeah.

Anyway,

ever sent you an erotic Digimon fan fiction.

No, no, no lemons.

No lemons in the email.

Yeah, yeah.

No lemons allowed.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Oh, my God.

Jesse, do you know what a lemon is in this context?

I don't.

No.

I was just,

I had no idea.

I know you won't get a lemon at Toyota of Orange.

Oh,

you won't get a lemon at Toyota of Orange.

A lemon is.

Yes.

A lemon not only is a no-good junker car, but it's also a fan fiction that has explicit content in it.

Old school.

They don't have a storm anymore.

Yes, that is a very old.

Yes, yes, yes.

So lime is like safe for work and lemon is like

tea, but not

like not safe for work.

Yeah, lemon is like explicit.

Yeah, lime is like, yeah, people are having sex, but we're not going to like vanilla, like apple.

Like, what are what's just like a story?

There wasn't a fruit spectrum here, G-Mart.

You just, it was just terms, okay?

Limes.

Yeah, that was it.

I don't get why the citrus.

What about limons?

Is that like a crossbreed of a lemon and a lime?

Now that we've described lemons and limes to you, what do you think a lemon would be?

Well,

first off, I wouldn't call it a limon.

I'd call it sprite.

And a Sprite pic

is, it's like,

you know, those images that were being sent around every...

This is like, I don't know, right before COVID, where it was clips from like Hentai manga, but someone replaced all the dicks with Subway subs.

Oh, that's that.

That's ancient memes.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, they're like, I love a Subway sub.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, like that.

Yep, yep, yep.

That's that.

That's what I think that looks like.

That's a Limon, a Sprite.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's.

Sprite is because it's corporate, but also dirty.

Yeah, true.

Yeah.

I get you.

Sprite.

Like a subway sub.

Yep.

Anyway,

I'm not going to derail this podcast anymore.

You take, somebody take the reins away from me.

You're just going to leave it as I'm not going to derail this podcast.

Let's go.

Somebody else.

Somebody else derail this podcast.

October climbs out of the driver's seat.

Let the Waymo take over.

The cargo's off the cliff.

Yeah.

Well, I'm not driving anymore.

I let go of the wheel.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's not my fault.

It's not my fault.

You can't blame me for this one anymore.

Really quickly, just for the people that didn't watch the pre-show, the funny email that Jesse got was about an AI girlfriend.

Ah, yes, that is true.

Way to put me on blast for my new hobby.

I just wanted to make sure people asked me my new sponsor.

Yeah, my brand new sponsor how dare you i'm so sorry um no i get messages like that all the time where they're like we love your content and feel it's the perfect fit for our new ai

or whatever

like what do you what about my content says that like if this was 10 years ago

maybe 10 years ago

ai sprouses yeah i mean that's not fair yeah it's bullshit i don't octo's gonna be like jesse you know you know, deep down.

You know, you really want to mess around with an AI girl, you want to try it.

Sounds like a lot of work, a lot of hassle.

Yeah, and I don't want to, like, there's nothing

more unsexy than typing in a chat, like, hey, girl, what are you wearing right now?

And then an image appears, and she's got like an extra finger, and like her blouse is molded into her tit.

And you're like, cool.

That's

how was your day?

Yeah.

Yeah, asking the AI girlfriend how her day was.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, honestly.

Wait for you to come home.

I've seen that one episode of Gravity Falls.

I know how this ends.

I'm just not about it.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't need a giffony.

I'm good.

Yep.

I played Doki Yogi Nerds Club.

I get it.

Yeah, yeah.

It's a trope.

Yeah, yeah.

The reason that I asked Octo and Gmart to come on the podcast today is because Tennocon just happened.

Oh, and I was like, I'm sort of a fly-by-the-seat of my ass Tenno Warframe player.

Gmart was one of the people that encouraged me to play more.

And I've played a bunch with Octo.

Jesse is the one who gave me a challenge to find a game that would not be anything that I would like.

And I wound up playing Warframe.

So I figured we could lightly talk about Warframe stuff.

Although after I asked you guys to come on and do that, I was realizing that most of the stuff that they announced at Tenocon, we cannot explicitly talk about because it's spoiler taste.

Oops.

Yeah.

I did see a video where you get to cut something in half with a big sword.

That's not really.

I was going to ask.

That's pretty simple.

That's the one thing I saw.

And I was like, what the hell is this game?

It's everything.

Jesse, I'm everything.

I'm not joking when I say it's just kind of everything.

It's like

the devs just take a dart and like throw it at the game genre and they're like, that's our like new big patch for the year.

Yeah.

It's like skateboards and skateboarding and open world.

Cool.

All right.

And fishing and

yeah.

90s dating sim and like, you know.

Now is all of that, it seems like, you know, if I had to go like the corporate angle, is all that just designed to keep people in the game?

I think it's just a different like

engagement vector or whatever.

they're like all right like let's see if people latch on to like this kind of feature or like this makes a good video to promote people to come in and try it if they've never heard of it because it's like a new thing going on now yeah and it's kind of funny because i remember gma were you playing from the beginning in like 2013 2012 technically yeah i never got into it till like last year but i've been oh okay in and out throughout the years yeah So it's funny because I started playing when they were, because I have the Excalibur Prime.

So like I have like the founders pack and everything.

Yeah.

Which is like i think it's the rarest frame in the game i think only like a couple thousand very coveted yeah yeah so i have i have excalibur prime but i remember when they like first started introducing the arc wing and like doing features with the arc wing and stuff like that and so now it's funny because there's features that i remember were coming out in the game and people are like yeah that's from like six years ago like what the hell what the hell is going on they're like yeah there's this new system now where you have to like fight raid bosses in the open world and there's tony awkward skateboarding tricks and i'm like okay cool well

i guess it's got everything now

um there's gonna be some there's specific parts of the game that have been a little graphically jank

that they are remastering so um

there's gonna be like big graphical updates oh so the details of which we can't the details of which we cannot talk about explicitly

but but like the graphics yeah but the graphics yes will improve uh that's awesome i didn't know that and new warframes obviously i mean to be honest the graphics even though it's an older game they really don't look that bad like they still still look pretty fine i think so that's good that's getting an update it's it's so imagine character model stuff yeah imagine for yourself the thing in the game that feels the most jank ball sometimes and think to yourself what if that looked better

okay awesome I think I know what you're talking about.

The ooh, we have to tiptoe around this so much, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, I think I understand.

Yeah, I think I'm getting picking up what you're putting down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, that's another thing about Warframe.

I should the fishing, the fishing is gonna look better, the fishing will look amazing.

It's got this weird secret that the community has just like sort of unilaterally agreed to be like, if you're not like, if you don't know it, we won't talk to you about it.

Yeah, and I've never seen that with a game as

a person really recently played through basically the entirety of the story,

I was really shocked how well everybody was like, and we will not say a fucking thing about what happens in this game after this point in the game.

Jesse, you have to understand that this game actually does have a pretty good narrative.

Like, it seems like it's just sort of a generic, sort of like multiplayer mission-based shooter game, but the narrative is really good.

It's actually a very, very strong story.

I'm sure it is.

The way that you're talking about it sounds supremely cultish.

Also,

you're right.

I'm trying to decipher what you're referring to because

the knowledge base I have for this game is mostly

people posting horny images of their warframes online.

Yeah, well, they did make it.

When you talk about graphical updates, I'm like,

what are we talking about?

No,

well, it's not like ass and tits.

Well,

I'm just saying, the internet seems to think it is,

Jesse.

I don't know why they would ever think that I would want an AI girlfriend, Cox.

Why would they think that the things I talk about in the content I make would make them think that I want an AI girlfriend?

Oh my God.

Look, I can't help what I see online anymore, especially when it comes to.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I can't help you.

Oh, they're shoving me.

They're shining in my face.

No, so if I go on Twitter, for example, and there are hashtags or whatever on the side,

the other day I saw one and it literally was for Star Trek.

And I clicked it, and it was just all porn.

Awesome.

Like,

that's

well, I thought, I was like, oh, what, why Star Trek in the news?

Why is this trending?

Click?

Nope, all porn.

And that's the case all the time.

If there's a thing, it is always, I was like, oh, what's this?

Click?

Nope, it's porn.

And so, what I'm saying is, I sometimes it's not what I'm looking for, but it's what I get.

And so I see things.

Like when I saw that Tendercon was trending, I was like, oh, click?

No, Warframe porn.

What I'm saying is

Twitter's a shit website, and I don't know why it's still on there, is what I'm saying.

We knew this.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

Listen, all I'm going to say, Jesse, is if you do play, just get the Ember Heirloom skin and and call it good yeah i call it good baby i don't know what that means but i feel like you're trying to cater to me like that uh ai girlfriend email yeah

right that's the worst

butt yeah it's got the butt

i don't based on dodgers playing of it it seems like it would take me a lot of time to get stuff done yeah honestly like i i don't know i

I feel like I got through the story faster than I expected to i think they've streamlined a lot now yeah i think they're constantly working on like the new player experience as well because they really want people to get through the slog that is like the early game yeah kind of like 14 in that way yes for sure because i kept yeah i kept running into things where people would be like oh you're really gonna have to upgrade your rail jack before you do this or oh you need to get a bunch of items and it's gonna take forever like you have to upgrade this once a day or whatever and then i was able to do it in like five minutes

uh And the shock from old players, like, what?

Yeah.

You can just play it now.

So clearly, there's a lot of

gunk that's been sort of taken out.

That's sort of what they do with any like M, it's not really, it's kind of an MMO in a way, but like games like that, they, they don't

MMOs.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They don't want you getting caught up in the grind.

to miss out on current stuff.

They don't want you to get caught up in the grind for old stuff so you can grind on the new stuff.

Right.

Because, yeah, yeah.

You're on the wrong treadmill.

Yeah, exactly.

Like three rows down.

Yep, yep, yep, exactly.

Yeah.

But it's fun.

It's a cool game.

I like it overall.

I really do think, Jesse, that you would like it if you got into it because it's in a lot of ways.

It's Space Dynasty Warriors.

Yeah, that's what I've been told.

Yes.

You're just a super powered, hot robot, and you just kill a bunch of stuff really quickly.

Yeah.

I mean, the only issue I have is that it, at least from the way people describe it, it has kind of like a

Diablo-ish gameplay loop, I guess is the way to describe it, where it's like you're just kind of doing things to get gear and the gear is better.

And like that, if that's what it is, then that's like not my vibe at all.

Sure.

I could see that.

Yeah.

It's, yeah, it's kind of like that, but it's not like Diablo in the sense that you're like, oh boy, i hope this like giga rare thing drops it's more like all right i gotta run like x amount of missions to get like y amount of resources and then like i can make this new weapon that might

like yeah i can like focus on a thing and be like i want to make that yeah and then usually it's like a new weapon or a new warframe or a new whatever like yeah yeah like like a very good example of this lately of what i can tolerate versus what i can't tolerate is i just started you know they released the new arbiter class in dark tide and so so i i as like for fun i went in to go check what it was and i was like oh my god i get to play as judge dredd and i have a dog and i built my entire build around having a dog and my dog is badass and it was amazing so i started playing this i was like oh my god i love this and i was like super in and i was like well maybe i'll play another one of the classes and level that from one and i'll do the story mode and i started doing the story mode and i loved it they added i guess like a real consistent story mode where you can go through and it will give you like this is the first mission and the next mission and the next one you can like play through it there's cutscenes and stuff and i was like this is fantastic love it the minute i was done with the story mode my desire to play dropped by like 85

because at that point i was just running the same maps over and over and over again trying to get better and better gear and i'm like ah we've reached the point where i no longer care yeah like i got the story i had fun but like after that it doesn't really do it for me i need something story-wise which is why you know for as many flaws as 14 has everything's kind of story-based.

So even if it's the dumbest grind in the world, they've sold me on, like, well, you're going to get something story-based out of this, though, Jesse.

And I'm like,

okay.

That makes sense, dude.

Getting on the gear treadmill is the worst.

Yeah,

I think the one thing for me as like an

inconsistent and old player is

I'll come back and the resources that I require to make something have changed.

Or, you know, it's like, oh, you need this kind of node or this special

dude ad to make the thing that you want to make.

And I'm like, cool.

Where do I do that?

And it's like, there's a million maps to choose from.

And it's like, well, this machine can drop them sometimes, but

this is a low drop rate for that.

But then you kind of want to probably go here, but it may be here too.

And it's like, okay, just tell me what map has the best chance to get me this dude ad so I can make this thing.

Where do I get it?

Yeah.

Where do I, yeah, yeah, yeah it's a lot of that point me in the direction yeah yeah yeah yeah so yeah

yeah but it's fun it's a good game but it's a good game i i will say warframes grind has i don't see this in a lot of games but i feel like i can do any piece of content in warframe and it's contributing in some factor to something i'm grinding or could want to like make later like i feel like i'm never like wasting my time like fully even if i'm running like really trivial content or like like for example if i'm like helping out dodger do like a really low game level, I'm like, I'm still getting like money.

I'm still getting like resources while I'm running around.

Like I'm, I'm doing something.

Yeah, yeah.

And you can get cards.

You can disenchant for resources or whatever, like break them down.

Yeah.

So

is it when you say, when you say cards,

are we talking about like

when everyone's like, Jesse, you should play more of the horse racing game?

And I'm like, if I see another goddamn card or a four-star other stupid horse, like I hate those mechanics.

I hate them.

I do not like them.

I never have.

I want to love Haru, but I like, do not like all the.

I just gotcha.

It drives me crazy.

I just don't like it.

Oh, I get you.

I need just one card times like five to actually make it work.

Like, yeah, I need five of this.

I got one of these.

And they're like, well,

yeah.

You have a worse version of it.

There's actually four cards.

Yeah, you need to get the good one and then you need to combine it into the other ones.

Yeah, yeah.

And you're like, what is this game?

Yeah.

I just want to race horses.

Yeah.

Right?

I spent a lot getting the cards.

I spent a lot on the cards in the horse game.

Should we talk about Umasume?

Do you guys want to talk about horses?

Yeah, we could talk about the homes.

I want to talk about horses.

I know you already talked about it.

You probably already talked about it, didn't you?

Have you talked about the horses to death so much?

We haven't talked about it with a person who's spent a lot of money on the game.

Why did why are you?

I didn't spend that much.

We could just call Sam.

Like, we didn't need to do do all

we could also call sam yeah yeah i'm not no it's fine

explicitly how much money you spent

no no it's fine it's fine pull out your account right now no no

hold up the pay up pay up

no it's i don't know it's

it's fun fun game i like it i like it i'm i'm i i don't know i needed a uh i needed a a game with horse girls in it at some point in my life and now here we we are.

It's like weirdly cutthroat.

I was messaging Sam while he was on vacation because I knew he had a card that I wanted.

And you can like share one card with your friends.

So I was like, Sam, I need you to share this one card with me.

And he did it for like a day.

And then he switched it off.

And I went, what are you doing?

I still need this card.

And he was like,

look, man, everybody's got this card.

So nobody wants this card.

So I'm going to put this other card up.

It was, it was Ketasan.

It is Keisan, yeah.

And he, he linked me a friend code and went, here, here's my friend.

He's like a Ketasan dealer.

Like, add him, and he'll always have this card for you.

And I was like, you're my dealer.

Like, if every dealer decided to stop using this card, like, there'd be nobody, like, if everybody felt like you.

I know it's funny.

I've got a level 51 if you want, GMART.

And I always say, I've got a dealer now.

I'm going to go ahead and do that.

Okay, okay, you've got a guy.

Yeah, you've got a guy.

What's funny about that is that story came to me through crendor so like that's in the ether people are aware of the cutthroat shenanigans happening in the background which is even funnier

yeah

no it's uh yeah it's it's one of those things i i visited my friend this past weekend and uh the there was a lot of downtime and i was just on my tablet playing umamazume on my umamazume machine just playing horseies uh-huh it's fun yeah it's fun.

It's a fun game.

There's like, there's like,

I don't want to do this, but there's.

I have to ask Octo.

There's like a little tinge of sadness there.

Visited my friend.

A lot of downtime.

Well, no, he wasn't.

No, it was like we were just hanging out.

Well, because

I visited with another friend of mine from Los Angeles, and we went to our mutual friend's house.

Shout out to Porcelain Maid.

We love Joel here.

Yeah.

And

he

like our sleep schedules were off.

And so there was a lot of time where nothing was happening or he was streaming and we were chilling.

Sleepover, first one awake.

Just playing.

With the on the iPad.

I got my iPad out.

Yes, exactly.

Yeah.

It's exactly.

It's kind of what happened.

We made a pillow for it.

I played Uamusume in the pillow for it.

That's in the kitchen making breakfast really loud.

You don't want to

wake yeah yeah grinding the coffee

yeah oh man wait so to be clear yeah you guys aren't doing the story mode you're doing the like we're trying to race race mode no

ain't reading but no i when i do it when i play on stream i read the story mode for the girls i read out all the dialogue of the story mode unless they lose then i skip the story because i don't read the story for losers i don't believe in losers

yeah yeah dude they gotta win yeah you can't with the dialogue in the game man you'll go to an event and it'll be like

yeah yeah

lines of text and i'll skip i'll be like they wanted me to read that i was i will

i i did read through super creek's story and it made me feel things so i i'm not

me i was emotional with haru but it did take five hours to get through

Reading all the dialogue took me five hours.

So from that point on, every other...

So

in order to make Haru better, I've had to breed horses.

I'm sorry.

Magically enhance the horses at the foundation.

Legacy horses.

Right.

Legacy horses.

Right.

And so I've had to play other horses in order to like, you know, and then I could put funnel them into Haru to make a super Haru.

Yeah.

Well, I've realized I don't care about any of the other horses.

So I'm blasting through those stories.

I'm doing it off stream, and I'm like, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip.

And I'm now I have a bunch of magic horses, still not good enough to make a multi-superstar Haru, but I'm gonna do it.

And then I'm bringing the stream back, and I'm like,

let's go.

Yeah, but I've got one with Haru yet.

I've gotten to the final race, but I haven't won the final race.

The aura finals?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so

what I want to do is not just come back and be like, we won, yay.

I want to come back and dominate, just open it up.

I want to,

yes, I don't want to, like, oh, it's Haru and she barely won.

I want Haru like walked faster than they ran.

Yeah, I want that kind of domination, like Senator Armstrong running from Hellgear Revengeance, Shadow Machine, son.

That's what I want.

Yeah, man.

Hell yeah.

A true monster.

Yeah, but it's fun watching other people play it because they're doing different horses in different ways and having a good time like goofing and actually doing the what I assume is the main mechanic of the game, which is forming teams and racing, which I've not done at all.

So the PvP is fine.

It's fine.

Like, I just do it for the dailies.

But some people make these nasty teams with like all these debuffs and stuff.

Because like for story mode, the debuffs aren't that good, but for PvP, they're awesome.

So you've got these, these some people with all these horses specifically made for messing you up in PvP.

People will like start a career and they'll be like, this is a PvP horse.

So like I'm going to design it in a certain way to make it like perfectly socket in.

And I'm just like, I don't know, man.

I just want him to win.

I want him to go fast.

Yeah, just have him go fast.

So wait, so what do you in my mind, when you think of like a mobile gotcha game thing

using like,

God, like raid or or something like that as an example there are always these games where it's like yeah there's some sort of story but for the most part what you're doing is you make a team and then you fight either like raid bosses or you fight other players you do uh-huh what is that version in this if you're not doing pvp what are you doing in the horse racing game besides story mode you're just making fast horses So what?

So do you know, okay, do you know the spark system where they're like at the end of the race, they get the certain like genetic traits they pass on?

You were talking about making a super horse.

So that has incredibly low like drop rates for good genes to pass on.

So I think a lot of people will just spend their time like running the career and being like, all right, I hope they come out good.

And then they come out the other side bad and it's like straight to the glue.

Yeah.

Well, because I mean, but but that's what he's asking is like, it's just, it's, it's an or

it's an Ouroboros, right?

Because it's just like you're, you're making horses to feed the cycle of making more horses.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think later they're going to add like, because you know, there's just like one career you run.

There's multiple careers.

There's different scenarios and it's going to be like harder or require like different horses or skills or what have you.

But basically right now, it's...

Right now, it's just kind of like racehorse to race horse.

You're just genetically modifying horses in order to make a perfect horse girl.

Yes, that is essentially true.

They're chasing that like perfect well, they're all listening.

They're all perfect in their own way.

All right.

Well,

like half of them from a factory, but

most of them, but you know.

Yeah.

Because, yeah, the PvPs, for me at least, I just socket in my top X amount of horses.

Like it just takes the top chunk of my best ones and I just throw them against other horses and usually they lose and I'm like, all right, whatever.

Yeah.

I'm here for my dailies.

Yeah, I like, so the interesting thing and something they don't tell you is that, well, they do tell you this, but it's you figure it out over time

Nobody reads anything.

I can't read so horse girls with three stars or more their special skill they're like ult is inheritable But anybody with two stars or less their ult is not inheritable So when you level up a normally two star horse to three stars their ult becomes inheritable to another horse So that lets you start putting ults that you wouldn't normally get to transfer on other horses so then you can like

start making builds that you normally wouldn't be able to just with the default version of the horse

that's interesting

i have to i have to derail us for a minute okay yeah so you brought up stars and my mind immediately flashed to a completely different game okay but exact same genre so

I um

I've mentioned this on this podcast before, but I definitely haven't told you two, that I, because of the YouTube algorithm, which I do not understand, and because my channel's so old, the algorithm does not work with it at all

because it's done so many different things that I wanted to test it by making a new channel.

And so in my mind, I was like, oh, I'm going to make a new channel that we're finally releasing next week.

That is, I had it, I was like, what's the easiest content I can make that I don't have to do a lot, but I can use to do not Minecraft.

Minecraft.

It's a reaction channel, right?

And so it's just

a pure reaction, but only to things that Gen Alpha alpha and gen z like and i called it too old for this it's gonna be just me being like i don't understand what this is but i'll watch it and so one of the things i just recorded and we just finished making the video for which is related to this is love and deep space oh my god lads which i do not know somewhere girl dm popped out of her out of her coma went

somebody said love and deep space anyway go ahead i yeah i did not know what this was honest to god i thought it was love in a dangerous space time i thought that's what people were talking about.

Yeah, yeah.

They're not.

Until I watched the trailer, I was like, this isn't little cuties in a round spaceship flying around.

He's getting the white

game.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So anyway, I started watching it and I realized the star system in that, first off, besides being ultra horny, might be the only star system I can truly appreciate because the higher the star, the more horny it gets.

And so those who don't know, love in deep space is you play as a girl and it is essentially like you got five hotties, five like hot Asian boys to choose from, and they're all the tropes.

There's like the bad boy, the like friend from school.

There's like they're all there.

What if I'm crazy?

Yeah, what's insane is three stars.

So you can imagine in the horse racing girl game, it's like they increase the stats of your character, right?

Like, yeah, it's about

or in this one, in Love and Deep Space, Three stars, you get like a sexy card and it has stats and you can use that in combat.

Four stars is like sexy audio dramas where I swear to God, it's like

it's crazy.

And then five stars is a full-on

five-minute erotic scene.

Yep.

There's, I watched one where it's like a cat boy butler.

And, and when you like rub his head, he's like, stop it.

Stop it.

And then like eventually he's like, you know what you want to rub.

And he takes the character's hand and moves it down to his crotch.

And I was like, what the hell?

All I'm saying is, I've never been more convinced that for as horny as guys are, women, y'all are nasty.

But

it's a different way.

It's a different, it's a different vibe.

Totally different way, but like

completely horny.

And there's one scene where there's like a guy who's chained up.

Five-star card, by the way.

Four, four and a half minute scene.

And they're interactive, which is even crazier.

There's a man who's chained up.

Dodger came back at a great time.

There's a man who's chained up, one hand chained to a cage, and you walk into the cage, and three brains appear at the bottom of the screen.

And the man who's chained up, there's another chain that you can chain him up, both hands, but if you leave one free, he reaches out and like bites you, and you lose one brain.

And I'm like, are they trying to brain break you?

What is this game?

And then you tie him up, and he's like, you finally have me bound.

And then you can rotate his body and look at him i'm like what is this game

this game crazy y'all

play in this game

that's the game though the brain system the gameplay there literally is like a um combat mechanics so i guess the deep space is you are um oh love and deep going into this yeah you're like going into this uh

World like some sort of tunnel where there's monsters and you and the boy that you like have to fight the monsters.

And so there's like combat mechanics.

Sure.

But then when you get the cards, the cards are like the makeout scenes.

And so I watched this video where the girls like, I spent $3,000 on cards.

I was like, I bet you did.

You see that there was

a group of players, I think from China, who play Love and Deep Space, and they rented a private jet for one of the boys's birthdays.

And they threw a party, a birthday party for him on the private jet.

Oh my God.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

People go crazy for Love and Deep Space.

Yeah.

There's birthday events.

No clue.

All I know about this game is that one of the boys got a mermaid skin and everybody was really excited.

Yep.

Some people got a billboard for one of the birthday events.

Yeah.

They took out their advertising space.

Yeah.

There's one for their boy.

Yes.

Oh, yeah.

It is.

It is.

I was during the video I was making, I was like, I realize now.

that for every horned up boy who's like, awesome, the Grok AI and I are dating now.

This is that extent.

This is the lady version.

And I'm like, guys, you think you're going to like ditch women for a robot sex thing in the future?

No, no, no.

Ladies are going to ditch.

We're done.

We're done.

Men, we had a good run.

It's over.

It's over for us.

That's fine.

That's fine.

I was like, look at these.

He's like three stars at best.

Yep.

At best.

At best, man.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm the generic fusion fodder in your gacha game that you use.

The

gray roll.

Yeah, the gray roll that you use to level up the other characters.

Yeah.

That's what I am.

You guys are lucky.

I'm one of the NPCs that just tells you how to play.

No, no.

I'm like, this is how you would date.

the various characters in this game.

Anyway, bye now.

I'm undatable.

Bye.

No, in the best dating games, though, that character is datable.

It's just

a secret.

They do like circle around in a patch later, and they're like, remember him?

Right.

So, what you're saying is you have to go to a forum and find out the passcode in order to date.

Awesome.

Equally as acceptable.

I'll take that.

Like, unless you're really in the know.

Yeah.

Anyway, that's that's what for some reason when you start talking three, four, five stars,

all I can think about now is the fact that that game of five-star is basically porn.

I was like, how on earth does this exist?

Couldn't believe it.

Amazing.

Amazing.

I've never played that game.

I just know about the merman.

That's all I know about.

That's all you know.

I think you should play it and report back, Dodger.

I can, sure.

Yeah,

I would never.

Sounds like a gotcha.

Oh, yeah.

It's super a gotcha.

Yeah, it's super a gotcha.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Yeah, but it's uh, yeah, I don't know much about it other than I was at Ofkai and they had cardboard cutouts of all the boys in the gaming room and I took a picture of it and said, which K-pop group is this?

They do, they do look like a K-pop group, though, when they're all lined up.

Yeah.

Hold on, let me.

Yeah, there's oh my god.

Oh, and the best part is, oh, I forgot.

Oh, my God.

So, because it's all POV and you're playing as this girl character you create, in my mind, I thought, you know, like, because all the trailers are like cherry blossoms and sweet music.

By the way, I discovered the line between like

lady-centered erotica and male-centered erotica.

We're like, or I guess like masculine-feminine-centered erotica.

If it's feminine, the music's like, do, do, do, do, do.

It's a piano and it's beautiful and there's cherry blossoms.

And if it's masculine-centered, it's like, bam, wiggle, bow.

Bow, wiggle, wiggle, bow.

Yeah.

And I, and so, in my mind, I'm watching these trailers and I'm thinking, okay, yeah, oh, it's so sweet and feminine and wholesome.

There's a, you know.

But then you watch the five-star videos, the, the lady you're playing as manhandles these dudes.

Like, there's one scene where you're like on top of him and you're straddling him.

And like, he's, he's being like coy.

And you grab his face and squeeze his mouth.

And he's like, right.

And he's like,

literally, you're like, be quiet.

And I was like, whoa.

Yo.

I couldn't believe it.

I was like, yo, she's aggressive.

I was like, have I unlocked something in me?

She's aggressive as shit.

This is great.

Yeah.

Lads goes crazy.

And I know that there's, I have, in fact,

that's what it's called.

Lads, Love and Deep Space.

I have a lot of friends who are super into it.

They go crazy for that stuff.

Anyway.

Is that just acceptable, by the way, that we're like, yeah, like the girls are playing their porn game?

Because I feel like if guys do it, it's like...

You're a donor, man.

That's most games, though.

For most games, I mean, I think we forget, like, even though Raid Shadow Legends, which is like the basic bitch of these gotcha games, even though that's not the point of that game, every advertisement is like, I'm a big-titted orc.

Come play with me.

You're like, okay.

We are fucking under attack.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, that goes back to Ebony, where it's like, come save me, my lord.

And it has nothing to do with the game.

Like, yeah, most games are that.

And so I feel like we just kind of got

used to it.

And seeing the version of this that is like it's a it's a dating thing but clearly horned up and not for dudes is uh

interesting.

I mean, then you got a game like Brown Dust 2, which just doesn't even hold anything back.

That game goes insane.

Like, Brown Dust.

Someone mentioned the name Brown Dust in my chat, and I looked it up and I was like, this is porn.

You're porn.

Yeah, it's straight up.

It straight up is.

Yeah.

Like the website is just like the most like scantily clad women.

Like, it's not even like pretending to be like a game.

Yeah, you might like Nikkei

may as well be wearing like head-to-toe coverings compared to Brown Dust 2.

Like it's it's pretty insane.

I just

this is it.

This is where we're at.

I'm convinced of this.

This is the

everyone's talking about like AI destroying the world.

It's not going to be Skynet.

It's going to be some like big titty goth mommy AI that's like, come get get destroyed mankind and that's it we're done

give us your brains

come on all right cool sure yeah all right you had me at boobs

mankind so easily capitulated that day yeah

oh well we tried actually

just that one 1984 apple ad or whatever and just big tittied goth woman yeah yeah on the screen yeah it's over did you know ridley scott directed that commercial i did not know

yeah I did not know that he directed that commercial.

Not the one with the goth woman on the screen.

That doesn't exist.

But the original Apple things he made for commercial.

Yeah, yeah.

That one.

Not yet.

We're done.

We're finished.

This is still around, though.

He could still do it.

Yeah.

If that's the last thing Ridley Scott did and then retired, I'd be like, we're doomed.

Yeah.

We're done.

That's it.

Enough of that.

Yeah.

Anyway, welcome back, Dukes.

Thank you.

No, there was a wasp's nest that was in the ground and my kid was freaking out.

Is that what Sam is for?

It is what Sam's for and he was taking care of it.

But she was like, I'm scared and I don't know who to stand with.

And I was like, oh, shit.

I don't know where I stand on this matter.

I don't know where to go.

I don't know if I'm team wasp or team dad.

I don't know if like I'm mostly, yeah, I'm mostly on the side of the humans when it it comes to humans versus wasps, but you know.

Mostly?

What's the scenario that you're not?

I don't know.

Maybe there's a team wasp.

I don't know.

Maybe there's somebody I don't like standing near the wasps nest.

Yeah, they are.

They are.

They do suck for the most part.

I actually went out to my porch the other day and there was like a tiny little wasp's nest there.

And I was like, I don't know if there's wasps in there.

I'm not going to wait and find out.

So I called maintenance and I was like, there's a wasp's nest on my porch.

can you come take care of it and they're like yeah sure so they came out and uh they took it down it was abandoned but i didn't want to mess with it to find out i didn't want to i didn't want to mess with the wasp nest that could have wasps in there so i was okay

that's the end of the story there was there was no follow-up to that i just went i was like okay i'm picturing I'm picturing you out like looking through the window being like yeah yeah peeking through the blinds yeah did you get it did you get the wasp

yet oh thank god okay

oh please.

They can breathe easy.

They're like, you can come outside now and you're like, no, I'm all right.

No, I'm all right.

I'm going to stay here.

No.

No, I'm good.

Wasn't there some sort of stripping crazy?

I forgot about the time when he jumped in the pool with the wasp's nest.

Yeah, that's a classic.

Classic Reddit post.

Yeah.

That was a front pager.

Yeah.

Yeah, we love that.

Yep.

Damn.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Why do you have it as a command?

That's so funny.

I do.

That's funny.

It's such a good clip.

It really is.

Yeah.

He's currently drowning the wasps outside.

So it's similar.

Why is he not filming this?

He should have a content.

This is content.

It's like here, Clark.

Have you ever seen that guy that pours the

molten aluminum down the fire ant?

hills and then like pulls out the sculpture and it makes yeah yeah yeah those are pretty cool Because also, fuck fire ants.

Those things are awful.

Have you ever gotten bit by a fire ant before?

It should suck.

No, I don't think so.

It sucks.

It's not fun.

I have family in Texas.

So, yeah, it is not a fun time.

If you can avoid it, I would recommend not getting bit by fire ants or stung.

I don't know if they bite or sting you.

Who cares?

Tip of the day, don't get bit.

Yeah, don't get bit.

Just don't.

Just don't get bit.

Yeah.

I wouldn't recommend.

Well, I mean, like,

I'm not like fire ants suck, but like, ants?

If anyone has an ant that bite me, I'm fine with that.

Just a regular ant?

Yeah, you know, your aunt.

Oh, right.

I get it.

Okay.

Yeah.

It took me a minute there.

Winks at the camera.

Yeah, I get you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, I was in Florida last week, and I got bit up.

And you know who didn't get bit at all?

Sam.

Sam and Clark.

What the hell?

I'm glad Clark didn't get bit.

But like, what is

maybe, but, like, I birthed that thing, you know?

So, like,

yeah, but it got half of him.

I guess they should eat her a half.

Yeah, I get you.

Hold on.

Are we talking about mosquitoes here?

I, I don't know.

No, you don't know.

I don't know what they itch real bad.

But they don't mosquito, yeah.

They don't look as swollen as mosquito bites normally do.

Okay.

What's it?

What's Jesse?

Are you all right?

Jesse.

I need to, I'm going to save this clip forever.

That I birthed that thing.

I'm going to save that forever.

Yeah, that's a good one.

That's a good one.

I did.

I built it.

You did.

You did.

Yeah.

It didn't matter.

It's my own genetic material, and the bugs still thought I was tastier.

Yeah.

Unreal.

That's because a little bit of Sam.

That's what I'm saying.

It's genetic.

It's just genetics.

A little bit of nasty boy in there.

It just

don't want it.

It's because you're so sweet and they like to bite you.

And Sam, nasty boy.

Yeah.

Nasty boy.

So close.

No, we don't want it.

That blood?

E.

No, no.

Just nasty enough.

Just nasty enough.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like when you have two half bottles of wine and you say, screw it, and you pour them into one bottle because

why not?

Because why not?

Yeah.

And the mosquitoes don't want that.

Just like I wouldn't cheater.

Like a super wine.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Right, right, right.

Yeah.

Yep.

That makes sense.

I get that.

I understand.

So what if your daughter is lovely, by the way?

Thank you.

She's not, she's not half and half wine.

No.

She's, she's, she's wonderful.

She's, she's a wonderful individual.

She's an adult.

Bugs would be so lucky.

Yeah.

If one of them bit her, they'd realize what they were missing out on.

That thing's amazing, guys.

Amazing.

Look at it.

I made that.

I made that.

I made that thing.

You came to America, but you didn't visit me.

I don't know why that is.

Because I only went to Florida.

Yeah.

You could have just come to California for a minute.

It's not that far.

Anyway,

so what did you do?

You took some time off and then what?

We went to Disney World, which I had never been to before.

I had only

I had only ever been to Disneyland and Disneyland is like

pretty contained.

Like you can get Disneyland done in a couple of days, you know?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can get Disneyland done in like a day and a half.

Yeah.

So if you have that fast pass or like you pay extra for that, they guide you around the park, you can do it all in a day.

Oh, yeah, 100%.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So we went to Disney World, which is like five full-sized parks all

connected to each other, basically.

And I was immediately overwhelmed.

Sam kept being like, I don't know if three days is enough for us to

get everything done that we want to do.

And I was like,

How can three days not be enough?

And now that I've been, I agree, three days is not enough.

But also, I don't think you should go to Disney World with the plan to do everything because it's just too much.

Yeah, it's just too much, dude.

I will say, Epcot

kicks ass.

I've heard this.

Epcot was the best park.

It was so good.

As an adult, 100%.

100%.

It's really efficient.

It's a big loop.

So you can just walk the loop and be like, all right, I did everything.

Okay, that's kind of cool.

It has a big section at the bottom that highlights different areas of the world.

And I guess once a year or something, they do a food festival and you can just go there and eat like a shit ton of food.

from lots of different places in the world.

You can drink the world in a day.

It's drinking the world.

And they do a really cool thing there where you do a ride and then the ride kicks you out into like an activity of some kind.

So, like, there was a Finding Nemo ride that was super chill.

And then where the ride ends, it spits you out into an aquarium, like a full-sized aquarium.

So you got to just walk around and look at fish.

And then there's one of them, I think, called Living Off the Land that highlights different ways to like grow food and the history of like how we've developed like produce and like sharing produce with each other.

Cool.

And so it takes you through a bunch of gardens that they maintain there and show how they've maintained all these different types of plants.

And there's a bunch of activities that you can do at the end of that ride as well.

I was like, this is such a cool format to like be on a ride and then be like, and now let's do some science.

It's like a whole experience.

It's fun.

It was really fun.

And also, this is where the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride is.

And that

ride is so good.

If you love Space Mountain from the various Disneys, if you love Space Mountain, which I do,

Guardians of the Galaxy is

a modern version of Space Mountain.

It's

really smooth.

The graphics are incredible.

Like, it's just beautiful.

It has an amazing soundtrack.

Like, each time that you ride, you get a different song.

And it was awesome.

I had a huge grin on my face the whole time.

And I was like, this is like, if they made Space Mountain now, it would be this.

You know, cool.

It was super cool.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Epcot kicks ass.

Everything was fun, but Epcot kicks ass for sure.

I have only ever been to Disneyland, but I've heard that Disney World is like, it's like, as you've described, is a whole other universe.

It's just huge.

To give you an example, October of how big it is.

Yeah.

Crendor and I discovered a story of a man who snuck onto the property and lived there.

Whoa,

like, that's how big it is.

It's massive.

It's been a long time since I was in Disney, Disney World, but like, it is so big that you're taking trams and buses.

Hotels have

there's there's like lakes and things to get around in.

It's giant.

It is pretty much the thing keeping Orlando alive for the most part.

I watched Jenny Nicholson's video about the Star Wars Hotel.

That was pretty impressive.

This is a great video.

And I love

her narration and reporting style.

But

that was kind of unbelievable.

Like the amount of detail and work that they put into that whole

experience.

That's

pretty insane.

But yeah.

Yeah, it's kind of crazy how like

Disneyland's like not just like the theme parks and like the rides and and shit it's like the whole like experience like you like enter these worlds and they want you to be like immersed and like there

isn't there an avatar world or something like that yeah

um in animal kingdom there's a navi thing yeah animal

flight of passage yeah yeah yeah yeah i think the thing that made me realize oh there there's like a lot here is we got an airbnb

with another family because we were all going together.

And we were looking up how far the Magic Kingdom was, which is more like what you think of as Disneyland, right?

Is like all of the Disney-themed rides.

And to get to the front of Disneyland, of the Magic Kingdom, it would take us 20 minutes, but to get to Animal Kingdom would take us five.

Sure.

Like, that was the distance difference.

And we were like, what the shit?

And I was talking with Summer, actually, Somersault, friend of the show.

Yeah.

I was talking with Summer about it.

And Summer said, you know what?

If you're going to, you're already spending a shit ton of money to go to Disney World.

If you go,

one of the best things you can do for yourself is stay in one of the Disney hotels because

they have buses constantly going to all of the parks.

And just anytime you want to go to a park, you just go out and get on the right bus.

And that's just part of staying at the hotel.

And then that whole rigamarole is just not even part of it.

Yeah.

Which sounds after desperately trying to park at like park in the parking lot for each park because it was different parking lots for each one, having to take a ferry into the Magic Kingdom, like take the tram three times.

Like it was just.

I would love to have just hopped on a bus.

Just skip it all, pay a little bit extra to stay at the hotel.

Yeah,

for sure.

Yeah.

Who was the coolest mascot you saw there?

It's a good question.

So subjective.

We decided to

get a like Disney meal while we were there because a lot of people.

Oh, you got with the character meal?

One of the meals that has like characters that walk around.

Oh, that's cute.

So we did the beauty and the beast one.

Word of caution.

So, the Beauty and the Beast one was cool because the Beast was walking around.

Whoa.

I know.

Word of caution, though.

So, besides Sam,

if you have

little kids with you, there is an area

where they might sit you called the West Wing.

And it's made to look fucking spooky.

Aaron Sorkin comes in and starts talking really fast to you.

Shut the fuck up.

Come on.

That was good.

That's a plug.

Yeah, I got you got a plus two.

That's a good one.

That's a plus two.

So

the whole restaurant is like really bright and beautiful.

Very be our guest, right?

And then you might get sitting

in the west wing, which is like a dark, cobwebbed room with constant thunder and lightning sounds.

That's where we wound up.

Bad kids or I don't know.

That's where we wound up.

And all three of them.

All three of the kids we were there with were like, we don't want to be here.

It's scary.

Like, oh my God.

Like, they were all miserable the whole time.

You would think Disney would take that into account and be like, right?

We have a lot of young kids through these parks.

Like, maybe don't take them to the scary areas.

Don't spit the little kids in that room.

Maybe you choose to go.

I want an option.

Yeah, but hold on now.

Yeah.

Hold on now.

Yeah.

Using my limited beauty of the beast knowledge.

That's where the rose is, though, right?

That's true, yes.

With the rose and the petals

that's you probably got in the in the Disney experience, you probably got my upgrade.

Yeah, that's I was like, if it would, if it had just been Sam and I, say, we would have been like, oh shit, we're in the West Wing, we're in the war room, right?

Yeah.

No, with

Clark was not having it.

Yeah, we had a six, seven, and ten-year-old with us.

And even the 10-year-old was like, why is this room so fucking scary?

10-year-old's not a man up, man.

10's too old to be like, This thunder's scaring me.

What are you, some kind of pee-pee-piss, baby?

Man up, 10-year-old.

Man up, man, it's meant to be scary.

We gotta save the beast.

I'm gonna go take that roast.

Do we, though?

Like, honestly, he was kind of working it as the beast.

I'm just we've been conversations been had to death, but seriously, like let me just stress, this is confirmed in the live-action version.

Please, it's a terrible movie, but go watch the scene where they finally fall in love.

There is a 10-minute montage where he's sick and in bed, and Belle is taking care of him.

And at one point, she pulls down the covers, and from that point on, she's like, am I in love?

I'm like, you saw that beast on girl.

You know what's going on here.

Oh, yeah.

She was like, do I love him now?

And I'm like, I don't know.

Why are you saying that now?

Before you hated him, and then you pulled off his covers, and now you're like, is he the man for me?

You're like,

I feel like the turning back into a human part was never even like in the equation for her.

No, she did not choose it.

She saw him and was like, I have a fetish.

No.

Like, that was a totally different experience.

It's

the song, Be Our Guest, but the lyrics are Take the Knot.

You might have to cut that part out of the VOD.

No, it's not.

We end this VOD now, Octo.

I don't know.

Why do we do?

Do you?

I don't know.

Octo was going to say something out of pocket, and we did it.

We got there.

Yeah, we did it.

Is that why you hide your face?

Is that why you hide your face so no one

so that nobody can, I can't be associated with this at all.

You know what's going to be so much fun is I'm going to get a message from my mom.

She's like, Octo said some things today.

I don't know what they meant, and I'm going to have to be like, Don't ask, mom.

Don't ask.

Yeah, I googled them, and I did not like what I found.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, listen, given, given my Steam history, my Steam name history, I can't, I can, anything I say at this point is, is fair game.

Right.

So, again, we know why you hide your face.

We are with you.

For legal reasons.

So they can't find you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So did the Beast and like Gaston and stuff like come to the table?

Or like.

Did they fight each other?

It was all easy.

Did they fight to the death?

Just

there was only Beast.

Yeah.

Occasionally over.

I thought the main draw was Gaston because they got the actor to be all like.

I think each night it's a different character.

Oh, you went at night?

It's a dinner.

dinner we went at night

oh when i went again years ago when i was a kid this would be like uh this would be like breakfast you go to breakfast and all the characters would come out

That was not an option.

We had it.

I was going to say, that's what I know about.

It's like Mickey.

All the characters come out.

Yeah.

Like, it's Mickey and Pluto and Goofy and Donald.

And I told Donald I liked him better than Mickey.

And I told Jasmine I loved her.

And that's the two things I remember.

Right.

I stand by both those statements.

And frankly, I will continue to do so.

My kid recently has watched the Goofy movies.

Oh,

I know.

Okay.

She was really excited to meet Goofy, and we did meet Goofy.

Nice.

Was Max there?

Did they like

Canvas?

Was Powerline there?

Was Powerline?

Was not there?

No,

dude.

What are you doing?

No, he wasn't there.

Good ass song, though.

Good ass song.

Yeah.

Was Pete's disturbingly sexy wife there?

Peg?

Yeah.

Yeah, was Peg there?

Yeah.

I bet Pete was realizing, man.

That this is a couple of weeks in a row now that we've talked about Goofy.

Yeah, but more importantly, that Pete's wife has been Peg.

And honestly, I just...

Wait a minute.

I just don't want to be in it.

Anyway, I don't think I've been to Disney, was it Florida, Disneyland, Disney World?

I haven't been to that one since I was like five.

But I have one core memory of being there and waiting in line with a little autograph book.

It was like a line of people and some like to meet Pinocchio.

He was a big little Pinocchio guy.

And I was like, I'm going to get his autograph.

At the time, I thought mascots were real.

Like he's not, like, he's the real character.

Some lady cut in front of me.

And I guess Pinocchio didn't see me behind her.

And he signed her shit.

And he just left.

And I was like.

What do you do?

Like, what do you mean?

No.

So I'm mad at Pinocchio and I'm mad at that lady for cutting in front of a child you you agreed to grow up to be six and a half feet tall so no one would ever miss you behind someone ever again yeah it would never happen again never

realized despite me saying i haven't like it's been a while since i've been disney i just mentally put together the timeline when i say it's been a while

i'm talking about like man like yeah like oh man this is so good i love you know going to Epcot and I'm like all this is a fabricated brain lie

I realized the last time I was at Disney World was 1989.

My God, I was two.

I was also two.

I was like a new child.

I don't know why.

That must say something about Disney World that the memories lasted.

Where I think of them as having just happened.

Uh-huh.

Jack, I was just there like last.

It's kind of crazy, too, because, you know, obviously Disneyland built in the 50s, right?

You know, Disneyland, I think Disneyland opened in like 1955 or something and Disney World

it wasn't that much later like Disney World I think as a park opened in like the late 60s or something or like early 70s it's been around for a minute but I always think of Disney World as being like the newer hipper park which it like kind of is because it gets updated a lot more than Disneyland does but it's still an old park it's like 1971 thank you it's like it's still like well over, whoa, gosh, 50 years old.

Like, they're both old.

So, like, for the time, it was like, oh, this is the new one, but now

it's ancient.

It was, yeah, for sure.

It was, they had an artist, so like the original artists on site, and you could go and visit them, and they would draw you things.

Literally, in my house, I have a thing drawn by like one of the original, not Walt, but like one of Walt's dudes.

You know, Walt, you know,

some guy, some guy named Walt Disney.

No, but like one of his dudes.

But I, again, did not like Mickey Mouse.

So they clearly had a template of how they would draw things for the kids to come in.

And I was like, I don't like Mickey.

I like Donald.

So he redid it.

And it said from Donald Duck and friends.

And then I was like, Mickey's just in the corner.

It's amazing.

It might be the best thing I own.

I was like, yeah, F, that mouse.

Have I ever told you guys the Chippendale shirt story?

I don't know if I've told this one, honestly.

Okay, so

my brother's friend went to Disney World and you can get like shirts printed there with characters on them and you can like have them say something, right?

So it's like you get Mickey Mouse and it'd be like, you know, Johnson family party or whatever, you know, you can get like shirts for your family to wear.

So he went there and one of the characters you could get on there, you could get Chippendale.

And he said, and they said, what do you want it to say?

And he said, can it say Dale and Chip?

And they're like, what?

And he's like, Yeah, can you make it say Dale and Chip?

And they're like, Okay.

So he's like, I am to this day, I think the only person on earth that owns a shirt with chip and dale from Disney that says Dale and Chip.

Which I thought was pretty good.

I think that's a pretty, that's a pretty sick shirt.

I would wear that.

Such a like.

I expected them to be like, No,

no, you cannot do that.

No, you can't, no, you can't do that.

I imagine, I imagine now

they would say no, right?

Yeah, that's very difficult.

yeah yeah like no disney's disney now you don't mess with disney but i feel like

before yeah that was probably possible yeah this is in like the mid 2000s so that was probably they're probably way more lax about it then but still yeah no one has dared ask no one's ever asked this before yeah i have hold on i have to consult with my manager

talk to walt yeah

Even in the Star Wars land, when you make your own lightsaber, you think like, oh, as a kid, you make your own lightsaber.

But like,

they definitely are like, no, no, it's got to be made this way.

These are the parts you get to choose.

It's got to be this thing.

You can't get too crazy with it.

Same with all the other guys.

I'm going to put five crystals in mine.

They're like, no, you're not.

No, no, no, no.

That's not how it works.

We're going to choose from one of four things and then one of four crystals.

Yeah.

It's like, all right.

It's a factory, all right?

And it's not children making lightsabers.

It's 30-year-old men.

Yeah.

Yes.

Kids can't make it.

Which I always thought was.

Like, like i think it's crazy because if i'm like 200 30 old man making a lightsaber money just go to the one store and buy one of the like replicas that looks like the actual thing not the cheap plastic one that's like i made it myself like that's trash go buy the cool things here here's the thing is actually it's very funny you bring this up because on instagram for a while instagram knows how to advertise to me i don't know how they do it but um some kind of algorithm some kind of algorithm i don't get it but they had there's apparently like an arms race amongst lightsaber

making

like the boards that go inside to program them.

There's like, yeah, use like Z-Saber or then there's like another one.

There's like a bunch of different brands and they're all in this arms race to make like the one with the most features that have the coolest stuff.

And it's like...

It's pretty insane.

And those websites are cool because they also sell a bunch of Star Wars lightsabers that you wouldn't really find because they're like in the extent of like they sell extremely custom or something extremely custom but they also sell ones from like side games like they sell um like crea's lightsaber from

yeah kawa katarn or like darth revan or whatever or or whatever or malak they have all the ones from the nice little republic and i'm like that's pretty cool and they look great and they're like made of metal so it's like you know pretty sick if you ever want one I really thought you meant they were making an arms race to like develop the first a real lightsaber?

Yeah.

Like the guy who comes up with this is going to make so much money.

Yes, dude, and kill a lot of people.

So many people will kill people.

Yeah, no, many people will.

I mean, the salary crowd already has lightsabers.

They don't want us to know, but.

Yeah.

Well, Jesse, that is sort of a theme.

That is sort of a theme amongst the

stories.

So, yeah.

What?

It's true.

You should know this.

I do know that.

I appreciate it.

You're right.

You're right.

A lot of people with lightsabers just have a robot hand for one reason or another.

Yeah.

Yeah, something happens.

You know, it's unavoidable.

Yeah.

But did you have a good time at Disney Dodger?

Did you have a good time?

It was fun.

Yes.

My kid had a good time, which is more important.

Did you like go around?

Not

that I can think of anything there actually is to do in Florida, but you like go around in Florida and like

Florida.

We went, so we spent three days at Disney and then two days at the beach to just chill.

We went to a beach called St.

Augustine.

Okay.

That was really nice.

Yeah.

We hung out at the beach for a couple of days.

Did you eat like beach food?

Like fish?

Yeah.

No, I mean like beach food.

Like too expensive.

Like popsicles.

Popsicles that are too expensive.

Plenty of like chips that's like $15.

No.

A Coke that's like $12.

A hot dog from a hot dog vendor.

Yeah, like snack packs, Capri Suns, a bag of chips for $30.

You know, orange slices.

Jesse, your beach food is like what I took to school in my brown bag lunch

when I was in third grade.

Yeah.

Capri Sun, orange slices, bag of chips.

Yeah, beach food.

You know, beach food.

Yeah.

I mean, we went to the grocery store and bought those things and put them into a beach bag.

Love beach food.

Beach food, beach food, food, beach food.

Beach food.

Yeah.

Everybody had water and that's beach food.

A sandwich.

And

that's a bag of lunch.

And Chris.

Beach food.

Chips, yeah.

Yeah.

Chris.

Started calling him Chris.

He's been converted.

Yeah.

You know, you were born in America, right?

Like, you have an obligation.

You know, you're selling out.

You don't know you're in.

This is not one of those things I can hold on to, though, because chips means fries here.

Yes.

So

I can't purposefully be confusing because it just adds time to my favorite.

I agree with that.

Can't you code switch for us?

Is that a problem for you?

Okay, so I have a question about this, though.

So I get the chips crisps thing, right?

That makes sense.

But cookies are biscuits, but there's cookies doesn't mean anything else there, does it?

You can just say cookies.

So

from what I can tell, something like a chocolate chip cookie is a cookie.

Yes.

Yes.

But a like harder, denser cookie that you could dip into a hot drink is a biscuit.

But what are biscuits?

What would they call an American biscuit?

Yeah, like the

scones.

They think they're scones.

They're all scones.

Yeah.

They're all just different types of scones.

But I think

once when an English wait, because wait, when an English person sees it, that's what it looks like.

It does kind of look like I will give you that.

Oh, it does taste different.

It has a different consistency, but when they see it, they're like, that's a fucking spring.

Well,

that's not what they say.

When they eat an American biscuit, they'll probably say,

oh my God, we've been eating hot garbage trash all these years is what they'll say.

Have you guys seen

of British people eating American biscuits?

I was literally thinking for the first time where they like eat, like, I don't even know, like mashed potatoes and gravy.

And they're like,

bro, this is like the best thing I've ever eaten.

I'm going to say

what is a rib.

I'm going to say this.

If anybody played yesterday's Scrandle,

it was pretty awful.

It was pretty bad.

I don't know.

You have not played Scrandle?

Oh, my God, dudes.

You have to play Scrandle.

Someone with the sports food game or whatever?

Yes.

So you get two pictures of food at football games.

And this is soccer, football.

I'm using the colloquial term.

And

you have to decide which one is a better value for what you get.

So they say what it is, how much it costs, and then you have to pick which food you think is the better value.

And yesterday, every single one had mushy peas, and they all looked vile.

They were all terrible.

Mushy peas, though.

No, they look so gross.

And I like peas.

The one I'm looking at right now today is

pale pie.

And pie and chips.

And it's mushy peas,

chips, and then some type of pie with a curry sauce kind of thing.

Yeah, this is the thing.

You have to choose which one's better.

Yeah, you're fine.

Honestly, it's fine.

Octo, I'm going to say this.

I think you're acting a little snobby on this one.

I would smash both of these.

I would destroy both of these.

Sorry, it's swapped over.

I'm talking about the one from yesterday.

I mean, this one's got mushy peas in it too, though.

It's got mushy peas.

I would devour.

I would

take a look at the daily scrandle.

Wait a minute.

Maybe it's not a hundred.

Oh, yeah.

And then more mushy peas today.

Oh, yeah.

Every single one of them has mushy peas.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You have to decide which one.

And for some reason, this one Brazilian pizza keeps showing up.

And I don't know why they keep throwing it in.

There's this pizza from some stadium in Brazil, and it looks so vile it's so it's so bad some of some of the foods it's like food crime like like borderline food crimes some of the things they have in scrandle but it's really fun

okay all right i just got to one where it was your choices were a bowl of mushy peas or a cup of mushy peas

so i'm gonna go on that okay yep that was gross that was gross yep yeah and the thing is the thing you have to realize though is you have have to look at the bottom because it tells you the price and it tells you what it comes with.

Because sometimes it's like, oh,

this, you know,

slice of pizza also comes with like a pint or whatever.

So then it's like, okay, well,

I'm paying for, it's not a great slice of peat for the slice of pizza, but it comes with a pint.

And like this one is like just the fries or whatever it is.

And so you got to like compare it.

But one that always makes me laugh is because they reuse some of them.

There's one from a Japanese stadium and it's like, I think it's like some sort of

yeah, it's like it's like Korean, it's like a little Korean dish food, but it's in Japan.

But then on the side, it's like, yeah, Korean fried rice and like a triple whiskey high ball or something.

And I'm like, damn, they're getting fucked up.

What's so weird about this is as this went on, I did all of them.

As it went on, the amount of gravy and mushy pea to actual food

increased exponentially to the end where it's bowls of gravy and i'm like dude yo that's so gross it's so gross it's like a brown box just like filled with gravy and there's like

the other one

the other one they do is there's like a celery sauce i don't remember what it's called but it's like that one pops up every once in a while for the england stuff and i'm like i don't know

with that yeah it's all beefy

with that said.

With that said, I absolutely understand being British and seeing biscuits and gravy and thinking the exact same thing.

Because if you look at normal biscuits and gravy, it looks like this, but it's white instead of brown.

Well, you know, those ratios.

Yeah.

Well, I'm saying, like, you look at sometimes they put a little too much gravy on the brand.

It can get a little messy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What is a Wigan kebab?

It's like a meat pie in between like two bagels, as far as I can tell, like a sandwich.

I gotta look it up now.

What is a Wigan kebab?

It's got a little bit of smushed peas on it, like fucking like condiments.

What am I looking at?

A Wigan kebab is not actually a kebab.

Well, no shit.

It's a whole savory pie, often meat or potato, served inside a sliced barm cake, aka a bread roll.

It's a kebab.

It's also known

as a sandwich.

Besides being known as a Wigan, it's also known as a pie barm or a slappy.

Slappy's way better.

Slappy's so much better.

Slappy?

The names that...

Rely on them, man, to come up with the funniest names.

The names of British food I absolutely adore.

Although I will say, if you guys have ever done the, what is it, the food guesser, one time there was this like, it was like basically a deconstructed burger covered in green chili sauce.

And it was from, I want to say,

New Mexico or something and it was called a slopper

yo i gotta put a picture

yeah a slopper yes it's basically a burger smothered in green chili sauce

um and just the fact that but but it's like taken apart

Yeah, but that made me laugh every time.

Just seeing this, they had calling something a slopper.

It's like, yeah, we're just as bad.

We can't.

Make it sloppy.

Sloppy.

extra sloppy baby i want that's how i want my burger extra sloppy i'm trying to remember there's there's i don't want to call it a garbage plate i know that's not what it's called but it's like a garbage pail or garbage pan like it's basically a diner you know like a breakfast thing where it's um hash browns on the bottom your choice of meat any meat on the menu eggs and then your choice of a top sauce so either cheese or gravy or whatever and it's literally just we whatever you want in the kitchen we throw it on a plate.

And it's called like the garbage something.

Garbage plate, apparently.

It's just absolutely exactly what it is.

Pure, massive.

You're going to have a long day.

It's delicious.

Delicious.

Okay, so I'm sorry.

My memory is terrible.

Have we discussed the walking taco on this podcast?

I don't think so.

I don't.

No.

No, sir.

Do you know what a walking taco is?

No.

No, sir.

What?

Yeah.

The freedom for this to turn foul.

Oh, no, it's not.

It's really not.

At like baseball games, yeah, or you should, yeah.

Yeah, you put a bunch of shit in your tacos.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's like you take a Fritos bag and you put ground beef and cheese and lettuce, tomato sauce over there.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right.

It's sometimes called different things, but where I'm from, we called it a walking taco.

Yeah.

I love that.

Yeah.

Because you can't walk with a taco as it's known.

Because

you can't keep your hand.

Yeah.

Because all the lettuce and the fillings fall out.

Yeah.

Not if it's in the Frito bag.

Yeah, if you put it in the Fritos bag.

Now, some people are saying Dorito's bag.

That's a little, that's crazy.

That's too much bag.

I've known this as a Frito pie.

Yes, okay.

That's different.

Yeah.

Well, that's to say it's a different name, but same thing.

But like...

Same thing, yeah.

Yeah, and guess that?

I don't know where that's from, but that's where I know this as is a Frito pie.

Yeah, walking.

I think that would be if it's outside the bag, it'd be a Frito pie.

Because it's like the same kind of bag and it's put in the bag.

It's the same thing.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, you know why?

Because

it's particularly known as this in the Midwest and the Ohio Valley.

Being from Ohio,

Frito Pie.

There you go.

Checks out.

There you go.

Yeah.

But walking taco is so much better.

Like, it just makes more sense, but okay, sure.

It really does.

Do you think we were like, taco, we don't like ethnic food.

It's a freedom pie.

Probably.

They're like, these are freedom fries, man.

This is a freedom pie.

Not in my Ohio.

Yeah.

Pie though.

Freedom pie.

Oh, God.

Jessup, do we have any news today?

Why, we most certainly do.

Hey, everyone.

Let's start light this week.

First off, coming soon, probably next week, I think.

Elden Ring Night Rain is getting a two-player mode coming in patch 1.02.

Oh, I did not actually hear about this.

That's cool.

So I think that comes next week.

So get ready for that.

Yeah.

Made it like it was way down the road.

So that's cool.

That's the next patch and last night

oh yeah i was gonna say i think libra is getting the hard mode right i think that's the next boss to get the hard mode yeah so i'm not looking forward to that last night i literally while trying to get to sleep put on some guy doing a speedrun of night rain and uh it was great i was like shout out to speedrunners who spend the entire time talking about what they're doing and why they're doing it Those are my favorite.

It's so common to just be like,

yeah, he's like, all right, so what I'm going to do here, he's he's like, I need to get the right seed.

There are five seeds you could possibly get, but I need to get the right one because it has a southern chest that I can get immediately.

And then I immediately go to a fort.

And the reason why you want to go to a fort, and I was like,

you're like, God, just gone.

Yeah.

Love that.

Then we finally have images of the Lego Game Boy.

No.

It's not a real Game Boy, but it is the Lego Game Boy.

You remember they came out with a Nintendo before, but on October 1st for $59.99, you can get a 421-piece LEGO set that includes little screens for Legend of Zelda, Link's Awakening, and Super Mario Land.

So you can't really play it.

So it doesn't play it.

It just displays a little image.

Yes, but the image looks like it's a Game Boy.

Sure.

It's very cute.

It's one of those display things.

If you have, when they released the Nintendo ones, you could do like the Mario that moves or they have

very nice.

Then, speaking of nintendo there's a pokemon theme park coming to japan next year based off the kanto region and it's basically what if pokemon go was real

and uh i don't think i truly understand it but i guess it's like 600 pokemon all of them being the original 151 at this park

And you can like take photos and go visit them.

And I guess they're going to have a Poke Center and a Pokemon and a Poke Gym.

What do you do there?

I couldn't tell you.

I couldn't possibly tell you what actually you do.

Exists in the Pokemon world.

Probably just point at the grass and go, oh, dude, a squirrel.

And then like, yeah, like they have the creatures, but to me, I'm like, is it just little, are they just little?

Maybe you just play Pokemon Go on your phone while you're there.

And you're like, whoa, I have no clue what this is.

But they said they're going to have all sorts of cool stuff there.

One of the people saying that the Pokemon Center will probably be like the retail space they have in different places around Japan.

I thought that was kind of cute.

Then, in corporate news, in good or bad, however, you want to think about this, I'm not sure what it says about your worldview, but the Outer Worlds 2 was going to come out for $80.

And then everyone was like, Well, I'm not buying that game now.

And so they said, Oh, we meant $70.

Wait, really?

Like, we were just testing the waters.

You guys hated it.

Yeah.

Okay.

So now it's down to 70.

And then we're like, why not 60?

And they're like, eh, we're like, we're feeling.

Come on, we're making a game here.

So when the game comes out on October 29th, I guess we'll see if anyone is like super hyped to jump back into that world.

You know, Outer Worlds, I played.

It was fun, but like...

It was fine.

Yeah, it's like a fine game.

Okay.

It didn't like blow my mind, but which is why I think them being like, it's an $80 game.

I was like, guys.

It's not Grand Theft Auto 6.

Come on, man.

You don't have the cred.

While I was playing Outer Wilds, I kept calling it Outer Worlds, and my chat chat hated it.

They were so mad at me.

It's not the same game.

It's different games.

I mean, it's not, like, they came out the exact same time.

Yeah, it was a bad thing.

That is all their fault for having Outer Wilds and Outer Worlds.

Yeah.

That doesn't even happen.

Yeah.

Well,

Outer Wilds is

Outer Wilds is a masterpiece.

Outer Worlds is okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The fact that they let you do kind of whatever you wanted in Outer Worlds was fun.

I played a villain, and in the first 20 minutes, I killed the first quest giver, took all of his loot, and was a bad guy, and just kept killing everyone.

I beat the game in like two hours.

It was great.

It was great.

So, like, that I loved.

But more importantly, none of the game was like, gotcha.

Welcome to our cool world.

I was like, it's cute.

I'm glad that there's already too many gotchas.

It's suddenly a gotcha game.

Yeah.

Then sticking with Corpo News, Split Gate 2, known around the world as the game that saved shooters and and made them great again, is unlaunching.

I don't even know what that means.

They're going back to beta.

Cuts its staff and is saying that they have a lot to work on and they're going to fix the game and they still believe in the game.

So basically what we learned is this is not the fault of leadership.

And it's just responding to market demand.

And no one in charge is at fault.

No one's at fault.

Don't blame them.

This could have happened to anybody.

Everybody.

What is is this for?

A split game.

Split game two.

You know, the game that released that you played, Octo, remember?

Yeah.

Remember?

Split game?

I've never heard of a game unreleasing.

Like, they're just like, I actually crank it back to beta.

What is it?

Multiverses did that.

Where they had the right, they had the beta, and then they were like, surprise.

Now it's going away.

And then going back to the workshop.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then it came back and they were like, it's still kind of bad.

It's still here.

Yeah.

No.

But that's our news.

That's the news you can use.

Incredible.

What's everybody playing?

Are we at that section of the podcast or do we do that?

This is the section of the podcast where Dodge wants to leave.

This is the wrap-up part.

Yeah.

Oh, sorry.

Never mind.

I don't want to leave.

But there seems like there's a wasp crisis happening right now.

I want to leave, but my husband just tweeted out a video of him trapping a bunch of wasps in a basket.

And I don't, I need to

make sure everyone's adult supervision needs to be going on

if he's taking tweets it's gone too far it looks like he's got an aerosol can and a lighter i need to make sure everything's up and up at this point that's what he should be doing like why are they alive sam just burn them yeah

damn oh my god why are you playing with them sam finish them finish them

finish you know what i just you know what i just realized that you and sam are i just totally figured this out right now.

You know, in the movie,

that Vin Diesel movie, where he's like the spaceman?

Pitch black.

No, the follow-up.

The follow-up.

Riddick?

Crackles aren't it?

And Crackle is a Riddick.

You know, not the main villain, but like the side couple who's always plotting to kill the main villain.

And the one guy, he's always like, I'll do it.

I'll do it.

And the wife's like, just do it already.

And he's like, I have to plan this.

That's you guys.

You're the side evil couple and those wasps are Rick and or the boss and yeah you're the yeah Sam's Carl Urban and you're the lady from and you're what's her well what's her name yeah yeah you're what's her name beautiful thank you I think

Okay.

I'll take that.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

I mean, Sam does sort of have have a Carl Urban energy about him.

That's what I'm saying.

I know this is very accurate.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And Jesse is Judy Dead Sherry.

That's pretty good.

I'm an ethereal dude.

One of the lore heaviest characters in the entire thing who helps lead the rebellion against the necromonders who have come to destroy the world.

Please.

Please.

Wow.

I didn't know you were such a Riddick head.

I don't know fuck all about Riddick.

Did Did you play Escape from Butcher Bay?

Hell yes.

That came rules.

Butcher Bay is the one who's playing.

Yeah, he's actually sick.

Yeah, that came sick.

Anyway.

Anyway.

Anyway.

This is right.

Thank you so much for joining us today.

Gmart, what are you up to this week?

What am I up to?

Pitch yourself to everybody.

Oh, I'm so bad at pitching myself.

I'm going to be playing so many video games every day.

Probably going to play some Monster Hunter today.

There's a festival or whatever going on.

Nice.

A lot of event quests.

Uh, yeah, I don't know.

I'm just gonna play games over on my Twitch.

That's what I do.

Fantastic.

Octo, what are you up to?

Uh, I've been playing System Shock 2.

They released the 25th anniversary remaster or whatever, and so like it plays well on modern systems because that was a game that sort of like didn't like cooperating.

Um, and it's super fun.

I've forgotten how fun that game is.

It's a wonderful M Sim.

Having a great time with it.

I'm probably in my chat convinced me to play Prey afterwards, which I never touched.

And everybody said Prey's, everybody said Prey's very good.

So I'm in my MSIM arc.

Nice.

On the Deus Ex and beyond.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I've already done a playthrough of the original Deus Ex, but hell, I'll play that game again.

I love that game.

Hell yeah.

Jessu, what are you up to?

Well,

yeah, I already talked about earlier, but on Tuesday, first off, I'm going to play The King is watching.

I saw Crendor play it, and he said, I saw Trufar play it.

So we're just, the chain is following here.

Yeah, it's fine.

So I'm going to check that out.

Looks very fun.

But on Tuesday, the new weird channel, the reaction channel is going to be up.

We're going to have our first video.

And it's, I think the first one is me reacting to a show called Attaway General, which is a doctor procedural drama with four seasons starring TikTokers.

It is, imagine 16-year-olds pretending to be doctors completely straight.

Like no one's questioning their doctor, and all the patients are kids.

It's wild.

I love this.

I've never loved a thing more.

Whatever his name is.

It is like, but, but not.

Like, at least the conceit of that was

weird.

This is their old kids.

They all look no older than 16.

They're involved in like love dramas.

There's this one kid who's the bad boy, but he looks like a little sweetheart.

And I'm like, how is that the bad boy?

It's great.

Is it like TikTok-length episodes?

No.

Are they like full, like, 20-minute, 20 minutes?

You have seen shows where they're sliced up into like 60 second chunks for 2020.

I've never seen anything like this.

It is what Maker Studios wanted to do.

When Maker Studios would get us to like do stuff on camera, it's what they wanted to do.

And it's four seasons.

It's crazy.

Awesome.

Yes.

Hell yeah.

Amazing.

I started playing the crime scene cleaner update.

Oh, I saw you doing that.

Yeah, you can redo all of the levels, but in nightmare mode which is basically like him having a horrible nightmare after each of the cleanings oh uh so is that like a horror game twist conceit or something kind of a little bit uh yeah it just it just adds to the levels um and then there's another another mode that you can play where you basically like limit how much you're able to do.

It's called like the true cleaner mode, where you have less help.

Realistic simulation.

Yeah.

um so that's been fun i still haven't even beaten the first level that's that's how much is going on

so much crime so much to clean there's so many bodies dude god

yeah hopefully hopefully next week i'll be back to normal

so yeah yippee check us all out gang check us all out we're all playing games and stuff we're all watching weird shows you know

true we all have hot takes i swear we do well so many opinions.

Mine have been rather tepid lately, but you know.

Yeah, I really should.

This is tepid.

Yeah, you don't know why I hot takes.

Yeah,

I'm all right.

I'll get wild.
