0:54

You know, are we going guess we know, I

0:56

guess we are. The filthy common

0:58

man has discovered our

1:01

one weakness. our

1:03

our CEOs must finally

1:05

band together. us CEOs must

1:07

finally band together. Uh,

1:10

bullets. Uh, the 99 have

1:12

realized that they

1:15

outnumber us 99 to us

1:17

99 to yes. We're the ones in

1:19

the ones in trouble,

1:21

me and you. and you. As

1:23

CEO of Comics Conspiracy Things, I just

1:26

want to want to go

1:28

on the record and say...

1:30

and say that, you know Violence

1:32

is never the answer, the answer around

1:34

all those times we're vialysis all those times

1:37

where violence is the answer,

1:39

so. Yeah. Yeah. This is true.

1:41

amazing my back. It's

1:43

amazing, for anybody who's somehow

1:45

unaware of this, unaware of this,

1:48

former CEO. former was

1:50

shot and killed by, and killed by

1:53

a... It wasn't before he was killed. he

1:55

was was the He was the current Well, he's

1:57

the former CEO. I mean, I'm

1:59

mean, I'm now talking down. current CEO of

2:01

United Health Care, the largest health

2:03

care insurer in America, was trying

2:06

to kill outside of a hotel

2:08

in New York City last week.

2:12

So yeah, that happened. And when

2:14

will people stop and think about

2:17

the CEOs, Ryan? It's been tough.

2:19

It's been a tough couple years

2:21

for all of us. Well, the

2:24

reaction to this has been, you

2:26

know, just as far as we've

2:28

seen in the corners of the

2:31

internet where we exist and all

2:33

that, the reaction has just been

2:35

straight apathy at best. Just a

2:37

shrug like, well. like

2:40

no sympathy for this this

2:42

like billionaire CEO you know

2:45

no which I'm not I'm

2:47

not telling you that that's

2:49

wrong I don't know it's

2:51

just um it's it's it's

2:53

sort of shocking the amount

2:55

of apathy that it seems

2:58

like it's just like universal

3:00

right so you

3:02

know, people would be like, oh,

3:04

he's a father, he was kidding.

3:06

And, you know, somebody would be

3:08

like, yeah, I saw him with

3:10

a lot of it, it was

3:12

a lot for the tone of

3:14

it, and it's, that's interesting. Yeah,

3:16

it has been, it has been

3:18

a peak week for the internet,

3:20

really going out 2024 of the

3:22

bang, so, yeah. Yeah, you got

3:24

people staging look-alike costume contests, like

3:26

wearing the same jacket that the

3:28

dude wore. All this stuff. My

3:31

favorite is Elon Musk acknowledging he

3:33

has children and bringing him around

3:35

with him everywhere now. That's my

3:37

favorite element. Yeah, yeah, that's my

3:39

favorite part of all of this.

3:41

I mean, oh, oh, and

3:44

also all these other health

3:46

care companies taking their about

3:49

us pages offline, so the

3:51

information about their executive teams

3:54

are not readily available, like

3:56

that's going to stop somebody

3:59

who knows how to plan.

4:01

I don't know. that, I

4:04

mean, I don't know. It's

4:06

an altogether sort of cowardly

4:09

response from those companies. But

4:11

yeah, you know, I don't

4:13

know, it just kind of

4:16

amazed me. It's just one

4:18

of those like, wow, somebody

4:21

finally did that level of

4:23

thing. Somebody finally retaliated in

4:26

that way. That's, like, pretty

4:31

wild that that happened. Well we

4:33

are in we are in the

4:35

mix of French Revolution, late-stage capitalism,

4:38

and cyberpunk. So this is like

4:40

that perfect storm of my refrain

4:43

for the last several years has

4:45

been that cyberpunk came true. It

4:47

is our current reality. We live

4:50

in a cyberpunk society. Yeah, early

4:52

days, but we are, you know,

4:55

I read a story. I read

4:57

a story today from earlier this

4:59

year about a D.D.S. attack involving,

5:02

um, like, thousands of smart toothbrushes.

5:04

We live in a cyberpunk society,

5:07

Brian. Just straight up like this

5:09

is Mr. Robot stuff happening once

5:11

those neural links are in they

5:14

can start jack in your brain

5:16

No, no, see so it's you

5:18

know, the whole mantra of cyber

5:21

tech is like high-tech low-life But

5:23

it's in the reality. It's mid-tech

5:26

low-life because they haven't gotten all

5:28

the cool implants and and you

5:30

know Like VR, you know better

5:33

than life stuff Yeah, yeah, yeah,

5:35

there was a company, this company,

5:38

this company called Guess Madam in

5:40

India. Did I show you this?

5:42

I saw this, this HR manager,

5:45

this is a real story that

5:47

they were, she was like, oh,

5:50

hello everybody. It was an internal

5:52

memo to employee and she was

5:54

like, oh, we did, you know,

5:57

the survey about stress at work

5:59

and, you know, we appreciate everybody

6:02

sharing all their feelings about this

6:04

and, and, and, and we, we've

6:06

considered the data and we decided

6:09

to let all the really stress

6:11

people go. Thank you. It's just

6:14

like, this is like, like, what

6:16

is it? Is your HR manager

6:18

glad us? Like it sounds like

6:21

something out of a portal, kid.

6:23

This is what happens when the

6:26

AI starts taking over, right? They

6:28

were like, well, easily you just

6:30

get rid of the stressed workers.

6:33

Like, that's the answer, right? Problem

6:35

solved, right? Exactly. And so, you

6:38

know, I feel like

6:40

if there is a lesson to

6:42

be learned from the CEO being

6:44

gone down on the street, we

6:46

aren't learning it. That's all I'm

6:49

saying. I don't, I don't, like

6:51

you, like in all seriousness, I

6:53

don't like that violence is a

6:55

go-to stuff, like on the table,

6:58

I was like, that's a solution.

7:00

I don't like that. I don't

7:02

like that's the kind of, I

7:04

would prefer that not to be

7:06

the case. So

7:09

much for the tolerant left, Ryan.

7:11

But sometimes, you know, violence is

7:13

never the best solution, but man,

7:15

sometimes maybe it's the one you

7:17

need. I don't know. I don't

7:19

know. It just sucks that it's

7:22

that kind of kind of work.

7:24

You know, like this is history.

7:26

It has been the solution many,

7:28

many, many, many times and events

7:30

all over the world. It's just,

7:33

you know, America likes I think

7:35

it's a little bit better than

7:37

that, and we're really not. So.

7:40

I don't know. I mean I

7:42

think all the people I think

7:44

all the people online who are

7:46

like oh this was just the

7:48

first salvo there's gonna be like

7:50

yeah I don't know about that

7:53

guys I don't I don't know

7:55

it tends not to be down

7:57

on it yeah yeah yeah I

7:59

mean you know taka trash on

8:01

loose one thing, you know, actually

8:03

committing, actually murdering somebody to another

8:05

thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, these people

8:07

are, you know, have nothing to

8:10

lose or tend to be pretty

8:12

far gone either way. So, you

8:14

know, not a lot of people

8:16

are willing to give up there,

8:18

either literally their life or their,

8:20

you know, their freedom for, for

8:22

something like this. Neither of the

8:24

things that William Wallace wanted lives

8:27

or freedom. Right, you

8:29

ever seen Brave Heart, right?

8:31

No, I've never seen Brave

8:33

Heart. Really? I've never seen

8:36

Brave Heart. You don't know

8:38

that that quote where he's

8:40

like, sure, take our life.

8:42

Of course. I've never seen

8:44

Brave Heart. Well, it's, it's

8:47

like that. It's fine. I've

8:49

never seen Brave Heart. Well,

8:51

it's, it's like that. It's

8:53

fine. I've never seen the

8:55

God Father. Okay.

8:58

Well, you know, do you want

9:00

to see, do you see Barbie?

9:02

Did I see Barbie? Yeah. I

9:04

have not seen Barbie actually. Oh,

9:06

okay. We're supposed, we're supposed to

9:08

watch it. I'm like, wait, I

9:10

always wait for April to like,

9:13

like, okay, let's watch this movie.

9:15

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a whole,

9:17

there's a whole plot of how

9:19

they get around by asking some

9:21

of the kittens to explain the

9:23

Godfather to them. How

9:26

much of the Barbies distract

9:28

the cans by having them

9:30

explain The Godfather is very

9:32

funny. All right, that's weird.

9:34

So yeah, so the whole

9:36

internet has been abuzz about

9:38

this murder for the last

9:41

five days. Yeah. It was

9:43

December 4th, right? Remember, remember,

9:45

the 4th of December. The

9:47

joke that people come up

9:49

with. And they start calling

9:51

the guy the claims adjuster.

9:54

or just the adjustment. They got them

9:56

today. They got them today. So let's

9:58

all sorts of other. jokes.

10:01

Yeah, you know, you're Luigi. Yeah,

10:03

yeah, yeah. So, whatever, you know,

10:05

the internet. So, good. Internet's so

10:08

10:14

off. Internet's back, back, we're back.

10:17

It's so good. the my our

10:19

friend won I'm always like you

10:21

know what because he's he's like

10:24

a graphic designer I was like

10:26

you know what we should do

10:28

we should just start a t-shirt

10:31

and just put dumb stuff on

10:33

t-shirt it just like basic fonts

10:35

whatever just like super fast jobs

10:38

to just capitalize on anything that

10:40

happened every random every random every

10:42

random to have a t-shirt company

10:44

yeah oh they're out there Yeah,

10:47

they comment on every post. Trump

10:49

things, a bunch of Biden, whatever.

10:51

You know, just a bunch of

10:54

stupid things. Lots already do this,

10:56

and they're all over Facebook and

10:58

Twitter. So yes. Okay, well. They

11:01

do a faster. Yeah, but we'd

11:03

be better. We would use, we

11:05

wouldn't use Impact font. We would

11:08

use Comics and reach deep into

11:10

my well of fonts and make

11:12

sure I get a free one.

11:16

One time we used a font on

11:18

a comedy button shirt and we didn't

11:20

realize it was a commercial font and

11:22

the guy came after it. Really? We

11:25

honestly we didn't we weren't even thinking

11:27

because we were stupid bad business people

11:29

and but we had we paid like

11:31

a license for it but yeah it

11:34

happens just so you know just so

11:36

you know out there if you're ever

11:38

thinking about making shirts or whatever do

11:40

your research on your font licensing? Because

11:43

you might be stealing from someone by

11:45

accident. You don't want to do that.

11:47

I also sell the thing. Let's be

11:49

free. Right, yeah, yeah. That's only if

11:52

you're using a VPN. So yeah, that's,

11:54

that's your, that's your current event. Are

11:56

you just tracking the drop into cyberpunk

11:58

into the cyberpunk? all these little things

12:00

like we're just does the marker will

12:03

look back and be able to piece

12:05

all these parts together dude Okay,

12:08

there's this, okay, there's all this

12:10

stuff, we have this whole internet

12:12

of things, all these smart home

12:15

devices that have just like the

12:17

most bare minimum security because that's

12:19

how it is, don't ever do

12:22

smart home stuff, by the way,

12:24

people just don't never drive, no

12:26

reduce smart home stuff, it is

12:28

a risk, it's going to continue

12:31

to be a risk because nobody

12:33

is putting any effort into securing

12:35

anything. We have these self-driving cars,

12:37

we have freaking cyber trucks. cryptocurrency.

12:40

We have, we have all this

12:42

cryptocurrency. We have the most militarized

12:44

police force ever existed on par

12:46

with like, with militaries. Okay, like

12:49

we have an ever growing wealth

12:51

gap, right? Anywhere you

12:53

go, you just take a look

12:56

around out of the like 15

12:58

people in the room, 15 of

13:00

them because you're looking at them

13:02

and not your cell phone are

13:05

looking at their cell phone. Okay,

13:07

like We've got all this stupid

13:09

AI stuff floating around, right? Everything's

13:11

become hallmarks of cyberpunk. Yeah. of

13:13

that fictional genre except for the

13:16

cool cyber limbs like I said

13:18

you know the coolest technology yeah

13:20

and all those eight and you'll

13:22

be just gonna bring back all

13:25

the leather all the 80s dress

13:27

all the spiked hair all the

13:29

street punks all the punk stuff

13:31

yeah we got the cyber down

13:34

yeah we're great at cyber we

13:36

just we're just not so you

13:38

look like like in the history

13:40

of like shadow run right there

13:42

were like two like global pandemics

13:45

that killed a ton of people.

13:47

We've already had one of them,

13:49

right? All that has to happen

13:51

is for magic to come back

13:54

and all the like Native Americans

13:56

to just take back all of

13:58

North America. like magical tornadoes and

14:00

volcanoes and just killed the military.

14:03

Okay, and then we'll be there.

14:06

That's what happens in that setting. See,

14:09

that's what we need. That's that's really

14:11

it. We're getting close. We're getting close.

14:13

Yeah, and then we'll be the United

14:16

Canadian and American states. Just like Donald

14:18

Trump said, that Canada should be the

14:20

51st state. He made that remark. He

14:22

said that, right? We got all these

14:25

talking heads on TV straight out of

14:27

like dark night returns, right? This is

14:29

the Robocop ass politicians. You got two

14:32

guys running the government department department of

14:34

efficiency. What is this. What is this?

14:39

Science fiction is so stupid.

14:41

Science fiction is, there's a

14:44

reason why it's, it can

14:46

be prophetic at times, like,

14:48

this stuff does not come

14:50

from nowhere, right? Yeah, well,

14:52

a few years ago, the

14:55

creator of the Cyberpunk tabletop

14:57

RPG said Cyberpunk was a

14:59

warning, not an aspirator. Right,

15:01

right. Okay, so, you know,

15:03

don't don't think it's too

15:06

cool, because it's not. Yeah,

15:10

so yeah, what you've

15:12

been up to. Everything.

15:17

Normal, normal. Other than seeing

15:19

all these memes everywhere and

15:21

posting them to our check?

15:23

Yeah, of course, of course.

15:25

Yeah, memes are the best.

15:27

No, getting ready for a

15:29

trip to Japan. We're going

15:31

to be, I'm going to

15:33

be out of town for

15:35

a few weeks. Oh, this,

15:37

I ever broke capital. Yeah,

15:39

exactly. Yeah. Go to Tokyo.

15:41

Nice. Neo Tokyo. You are

15:43

leaving, um. Yeah, a couple

15:45

weeks. Yeah. I'll look forward

15:47

to it. Were you there

15:49

for Christmas and New Year,

15:51

like last time you went?

15:53

No, we're there during the

15:55

summer. Oh, you were. Oh,

15:57

yeah. We were originally supposed

15:59

to go in 2020. Couldn't,

16:01

obviously, because of the pandemic.

16:03

So we kind of, we

16:05

were going. go over Christmas

16:07

in years, so we started

16:09

to change our plan. And

16:11

so we still have that

16:13

time off now, this time,

16:15

so I'm like, yeah, it's,

16:17

let's go now. Great. What

16:19

do you got planned? Uh,

16:21

you know, some sites, some

16:23

16:31

like, it's like Dutch or

16:33

European. Coastal boss? Yeah. What

16:35

16:37

it's like a Holland-like, like,

16:39

amusement park that does all

16:41

this like Christmas stuff. It's

16:43

the biggest Christmas. It's called

16:45

the Netherlands, right? Yeah, it's,

16:47

it's, it's a, it's a,

16:49

yeah, it's not like Disneyland,

16:51

it's like a. Like, I

16:53

don't know, why aren't we

16:55

going to Holland instead? Maybe

16:57

we'll do that next time,

16:59

but it's like that. It's

17:02

called Netherland. It's called Holland.

17:04

Japan? In Japan? Yep. You're

17:47

going to a comic convention

17:49

in Japan in December. Yep.

17:51

It's, they have a twice

17:53

a year, it's the biggest

17:55

comic convention in the world.

17:57

It's, it's, I have never

17:59

heard of this before just

18:01

now. Comic cat. massive, so

18:03

it is not like a

18:05

San Diego Comic-Con with, they

18:07

have like comic conventions with

18:09

like American stuff there. This

18:11

is, Comic-Et has Japanese, you

18:13

know, properties and license stuff,

18:15

but a big part of

18:17

Comic-Ket is, um, It's basically

18:19

like fan art. So it

18:21

is this. Okay. It is

18:23

think like a fan, like

18:25

artist alley. Like a devian

18:27

art commission? Japanese TV and

18:29

art. Think of it as

18:31

artist alley, except with half

18:33

a million people. It's massive.

18:35

And. bad, it's something of,

18:37

you know, definitely on the

18:39

bucket list for a long

18:41

time, just to see how

18:43

it is. Again, it's, you

18:46

know, it's, you know, it's,

18:48

you know, it's, no, it's,

18:50

no. I don't, I don't,

18:52

I don't even know, I

18:54

could. I don't even know

18:56

how they, how they, how

18:58

you get, how you get

19:00

tables for that. It's, it's,

19:02

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

19:04

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

19:06

Massive, very very different than

19:08

did anything we do here.

19:10

Nice. Yeah, it's not like,

19:12

you know, movie studio showing

19:14

up and shit, so none

19:16

of that. I don't even,

19:18

I don't even think they

19:20

have like toys and stuff.

19:22

I think it's all comics.

19:24

Nice. No one selling funkopops

19:26

or any of that shit.

19:28

Um, the highest funkopops in

19:30

Japan. I saw like, I

19:32

maybe saw them once or

19:34

twice. and like the collector

19:36

stores. I think that's for

19:38

stupid American people, right? Or

19:40

Canada. Or Canada, just not

19:42

sorry, I'm looking at something

19:44

that says Canada. There's no

19:46

funko pops in Japan. I

19:48

think it's just our dumb

19:50

asses. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

19:52

you know, yeah. Yep, yep.

19:54

Um, huh, well that's cool.

19:56

Yeah, excited. Are you gonna

19:58

go to Super Ninja? land?

20:01

No, no. I would, we're

20:04

not going to be going

20:06

to the expanded Donkey Kong

20:08

country area. Unfortunately, you're not

20:11

going there. Maybe next time.

20:13

Oh, you shot out of

20:15

a cannon, a barrel? You

20:18

20:20

that, right? You saw that,

20:22

20:53

close the borders while we're gone

20:56

so you never know You're like

21:03

Oh, well cool. Yeah. I'm glad

21:05

you're going back to Japan, I

21:07

guess. Me too. Yeah, this crazy

21:10

ass country for a little while.

21:12

You get to come back just

21:14

in time for all the madness

21:16

to really be getting. Yeah, whatever.

21:19

They'll just go again, go buy

21:21

one of those free houses that

21:23

they give to people in Japan

21:26

where you can just buy some

21:28

dilapidated house that's going to fall

21:30

apart and you just live there

21:33

and I don't know. Do nothing.

21:35

Do nothing. In the, in the,

21:37

in the rural woods of Japan.

21:39

You just do nothing, huh? After

21:42

they have internet and for Amazon

21:44

Deliver somehow get a drone to

21:46

come out or something. It's fine.

21:49

That's all you need. What else

21:51

you need? Nice. Yeah, let's see.

21:53

So January. Let's see what day.

21:56

You know, it's probably going to

21:58

be like January. Probably going to

22:00

ratify January 8th, right? Wednesday is

22:02

not. of what it is. Yeah,

22:05

y'all have a couple days to

22:07

get over there. Try not to

22:09

think about it. Yeah. Yeah, if

22:12

you think cyberpunk was true before,

22:14

just wait till next year. It's

22:16

going to get truer. Because now

22:19

we have all of our bad

22:21

people just being weird talking heads

22:23

on TV for four years, it

22:26

would be great. I

22:29

use that in quotations,

22:31

you can't see them though.

22:33

Well, great. I'm glad that's

22:36

happening. In the meantime.

22:39

You've been you've been preparing by

22:41

for Japan by playing by by

22:43

in the traditional Japanese way by

22:45

playing a Dragon Quest game. Getting

22:47

ready. Yep. Yep. Getting ready to

22:49

take all my time off with

22:51

some trying quest. Yeah I talked

22:53

about it last week but uh

22:55

still good. Oh yeah yeah. Anything

22:57

new and cool that. No,

23:00

no, no. Anything you've discovered? No, no,

23:02

no, no. You're just going through a

23:04

plane driving car. You beat any metal

23:06

slimes? Uh, yeah, occasionally, occasionally. Yeah, they

23:08

run away on you. Yes,

23:11

mostly. That's unfortunate, yeah. When you

23:13

fight, when you fight 10 metal

23:15

slimes, yeah, you're lucky to get

23:17

one. Metal slimes. Yeah, they don't

23:19

walk around anymore. Immediately going out

23:21

of the first. This isn't like

23:23

during Quest One or Dragon Warrior

23:25

one where you walk out and

23:27

he's like, you're fighting the one

23:29

metal slime for four hours before

23:31

you cross that bridge. No, that's

23:33

a, or that one slime. You're

23:35

fighting multiple enemies. Yeah, you got

23:38

a full party. Actually. So it

23:40

has this ability where you can

23:42

change classes and you keep like

23:44

all your abilities and like half

23:46

your stack gains from the previous

23:48

job, then you can build up

23:50

this new job. So you got

23:52

a lot more powerful. I didn't

23:54

realize I switched my healer because

23:56

I was like oh good I

23:58

got my I got all the

24:00

big healing spells I need is

24:02

fine I didn't realize I didn't

24:04

have like the best healing spell

24:07

I switched you soon to like

24:09

turn them into a like just

24:11

a mage class so I have

24:13

to go back

24:15

and become a healer again and go

24:17

level back up and then get that

24:19

get that spell and then come back

24:21

and get to level from scratch? Well

24:24

I'm gonna keep leveling up the mage

24:26

till I hit a point that it's

24:28

powerful enough and then I'll flip back

24:30

to the I'll flip back to healer

24:32

and to the priest and just take

24:35

that. and stay the healer because i'll

24:37

still have all the offensive spells but

24:39

i thought he realized that you didn't

24:41

get the best one yeah i was

24:43

like wait did i not get because

24:46

like the main character has could do

24:48

everything the main character and heal too

24:50

but i don't want my main character

24:52

to like be a healer

24:54

most of the time because obviously

24:57

offense is wrong with that well

24:59

offense is more important in a

25:01

game like this so it's like

25:03

I need the support the other

25:05

character can be offense your character

25:07

can be the healer what's wrong

25:09

no one's as good as offense

25:11

is the hero character so that's

25:13

always true yeah yeah so um

25:15

yeah I need I'm gonna like

25:17

go a little bit further than

25:19

start that character not over but

25:21

but go back to priest and

25:23

then level them up so cool

25:25

Oh, it's good though. It's fun.

25:27

Yeah, yeah. Pretty breezy. Hit a

25:29

few enemies that I, uh, hit

25:32

a few bosses I was having

25:34

a hard time with. You have

25:36

to, at one point, you have

25:38

to collect these six orbs. And

25:40

the bosses suddenly ramp up pretty

25:42

hard. So I, I was like,

25:44

okay, I guess I need to

25:46

spend a couple hours just grinding

25:48

out levels and. Oh, so it's

25:50

a JPRPG. Yeah. I mean, I

25:52

mean, not really. There's enough

25:54

side quests and other missions and

25:57

as this is a JRPD from

25:59

but there's so many modern conveniences

26:01

and the new version of Draghi

26:03

Quest 3. It's basically a whole

26:05

new game. All right. Yeah, you

26:07

don't have to. Like I said,

26:10

you don't have to sit there

26:12

and just fight slimes for five

26:14

hours before you can cross that

26:16

bridge and drag Quest. It's just

26:18

not like that anymore. Gotta

26:22

fight. But those are fun. I

26:24

mean, I like that too. You

26:26

gotta fight. You gotta fight red

26:28

slimes and Drake. That's something soothing

26:30

about just, you know, just grinding

26:32

out on mobs for a little

26:34

while. Like, yeah, it's okay. Yeah,

26:36

no, I know, I'm into that.

26:38

Yeah. I'm also celebrating

26:40

my trip to Japan by being

26:42

excited about a brand new Gundam

26:44

show that just got announced. And

26:46

normally I wouldn't talk about a

26:49

new Gundam thing. What's it called?

26:51

26:53

26:55

29:20

mid-2000s animated that... I thought it

29:22

29:24

29:26

really pronounce it? Fouli-couli, yes. Is

29:28

29:30

Okay, I thought it was FLCO.

29:32

Yeah. It is called, it is

29:34

called, now, I have heard multiple

29:36

ways to pronounce this, I have

29:38

not. I don't, I've yet to

29:41

see an official English pronunciation, I'm

29:43

sure there will be one when

29:45

the show gets announced for release

29:47

here. However, in Japan, it is

29:49

called Mobile Suit Gundam, either GX

29:51

or GQAX. It is Mobile Suit

29:53

Gundam, Ryan, this is you're going

29:55

30:33

Final Mix, 0.7, Beta,

30:35

Final. Well, when you

30:38

have Alpha, when you

30:40

have Turbo, Dream Drop,

30:42

Distance Edition. When you

30:44

have something made by

30:47

the people that made

30:49

Fooly, Kooly, Utena, and

30:51

Neogenesis, I don't

30:53

expect anything other than for

30:55

something very bizarre. So, okay.

30:57

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're into

31:00

bizarre. You love Bazaar. I

31:02

do, I do. You love

31:04

Twin Peaks, you love Grant

31:06

Morrison. So I'm excited to

31:08

see, I'm excited to see,

31:11

uh, I'm excited to see

31:13

this new show. Nice. All

31:15

right, when's that start? I

31:17

mean, there's a movie that

31:19

starts in January, um, That's

31:23

like the first couple episodes and

31:25

then the official TV broadcast is

31:27

sometime in 2025. Nice. I'm here

31:29

for it. Cool. So dual gun

31:32

gun, I'm watching mobile gun victory

31:34

right now and I'll be, I

31:36

don't know if I'll be finished

31:39

up at the time, maybe I

31:41

will. And then I'll watch the

31:43

same time. Exciting. Nice. Exciting. hope

31:46

you'll be able to keep the cannon

31:48

straight in your head. Well that that

31:50

is the great thing about Gundam is

31:53

that there's like 4,000 different continuities so

31:55

you know there's like Halloween okay cool

31:57

there's there's you see the universal century

31:59

the standard for

32:01

Gundam and then there

32:03

is like a million

32:05

offshoots. So this appears

32:08

from from description to

32:10

be the in the

32:12

future of the you

32:14

see where Shar Aznable

32:16

and where they win,

32:18

where the bad guys

32:20

win in the original

32:22

Mobile Sioux Gundam. So

32:25

so look out Marvel,

32:27

look out MCU. We've

32:30

got more alternate reality shenanigans

32:32

here from Gundam. They beat

32:34

each of the bunch by

32:36

like 30 years. Yeah. Yeah.

32:38

Where is it fit on

32:40

the Zelda's? Yeah. No, it

32:42

literally is, this is, this

32:44

is, this is, if Shar

32:46

got the Gundam instead of

32:48

Amaro Ray and they win,

32:50

and that is the split

32:52

of the timeline. If the

32:54

hero said yes to the

32:56

Dragon Lord, right, whether Link

32:58

and Quest Builders. Right, wins

33:00

or loses, this is, Amaro

33:02

loses, and so, and so.

33:04

This is the future. This

33:06

is the future. Then we

33:08

go to the temple of

33:10

time and then he goes

33:12

to the future and never

33:14

comes back. See, it makes,

33:16

it's total, it's easy. Very

33:18

easy. God. And

33:21

this is the reality where Lori Strode

33:23

got killed in his car accident. Michael

33:25

Myers went after a niece and then

33:28

was found out he's being controlled by

33:30

a druid cult that made him impregnate

33:32

his own niece. See you make fun

33:35

of it but you also know everything

33:37

about it so... Yeah I didn't make

33:39

any of that and that really happened.

33:42

I know you didn't. I'm sure you

33:44

didn't. And

33:47

then the man in black that's

33:49

controlling him was the guy who

33:52

told Dr. Lumis in the first

33:54

movie that he didn't know how

33:56

Michael got out of there last

33:58

night. Plus another great Loui G.

34:00

in the in

34:03

the group chat.

34:05

Luigi is the

34:07

the gesture just

34:10

for anybody who's

34:12

not up on

34:15

that. So now

34:17

we're seeing memes

34:19

of Luigi, angry

34:22

Luigi, God, yeah.

34:28

What have been up to

34:30

you, Ryan Scott? You've been

34:32

working a lot. What the

34:34

hell? I thought your average

34:37

work schedule was like, you

34:39

34:41

you know, June 1st, and

34:43

then you took your 19-month

34:45

vacation, like all CEOs. Yeah,

34:47

no, that would be about

34:49

like me making fun of

34:51

you in the same way

34:54

with your business. No, we

34:56

just wind up doing all

34:58

kinds of work. Yeah, no,

35:00

it's been a very busy

35:02

holiday season here and it's

35:04

going to keep being busy,

35:06

it turns out, through the

35:09

next couple weeks. You excited

35:11

for the, you excited for

35:13

the Game Awards? Y'all ready?

35:15

Who's your, who's your, who's

35:17

your, uh, content creator of

35:19

2024, Ryan Scott? Luigi! The

35:21

adjuster. He

35:24

has created the most entertaining content. We're going to

35:26

have so much to talk about on the next

35:28

podcast. Game awards coming up. Oh, the Game Awards.

35:30

Oh, boy. On Thursday, I'm going to go, I'm

35:32

going to be good, I'm going to go see

35:35

Craven for a second. Not Craven, but Movie Tickets.

35:37

I got to talk about Craven for a second.

35:39

Not Craven, but Movie Tickets. I'm going to talk

35:41

about this for a Thursday. Okay, first of all,

35:43

you're not going to watch the Game Awards. You're

35:45

not going to watch the Game Awards. You're not

35:47

going to watch the Game Awards. You're not going

35:49

to watch the Game Awards. You're not going to

35:52

watch the Game Awards. You're not going to watch

35:54

the Game Awards. You've watched... Yeah! Don't you just

35:56

watch the trailers after? Don't you just mute it?

35:58

You watch the trailers. I watch the Game Awards

36:00

and make fun of it on social media, the

36:02

way everyone does. the awards every year as they're

36:04

in. You don't watch any of this shit. You

36:06

just watch the trailers. That is absolutely, well, I

36:09

mean, I'm not really paying that much attention to

36:11

the parts between the trailers because the trailers are

36:13

the important parts. There are no parts between the

36:15

trailers. It's like,

36:17

what are you talking about? It's like, yeah,

36:19

you get Jeff Keel on stage being like,

36:21

well, that was great. The, for this year's

36:24

thing, is this game okay, now on to

36:26

this next year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, now it's

36:28

your 45 minutes of trailers. And while, and

36:30

while the trailer is running, they announced the

36:32

winners on Twitter and then like, like, nobody

36:35

fucking base and engine. No, no, the correct

36:37

way to do with the game. It's great.

36:39

Me and Robert, my business partner, yeah, we

36:41

sit down and we watch the thing as

36:44

it airs because we're paying attention to what's

36:46

being announced, who's up there, all that, you

36:48

know. You're like, yeah, that sucks. I can

36:50

fix that. That sucks. I can fix that.

36:52

That sucks. I can fix that. That sucks.

36:55

I can fix that. No, it's not. It's

36:57

more like, hey, we saw this. You need

36:59

any consulting. You know, you know, I mean,

37:01

we look for places where we look for

37:03

places where we might be able to be

37:06

able to be able to help for places

37:08

where we might be able to help where

37:10

we might be able to help. You're

37:13

saying you're going to send

37:15

it in the adjuster? Is that

37:17

what you're saying? No, I don't.

37:20

Let me adjust your product.

37:22

No, no, no. That's how

37:24

it goes, Ryan. We get helpful

37:26

advice. Okay. Sometimes it gets

37:28

followed. Sometimes for the better.

37:30

What have I been up to?

37:32

Well, you know what? You

37:34

know something. Oh, no, no,

37:36

no. But hold on. Hold on.

37:39

What? Craven. So I had,

37:41

right, right. So I had

37:43

promised my comic spirit co-host, Kevin

37:45

Sharp, that we would go

37:47

together to see Craven. He

37:49

hasn't seen a comic movie in

37:52

like a year plus at

37:54

this point. He hasn't seen

37:56

like anything. Wow, well, what a

37:58

huge amount of time. like

38:01

19 movies come out every year like

38:03

you know, he's basically just giving up

38:05

right I haven't seen a con movie

38:07

since like Yeah, but what was the

38:09

one before Black Widow? Yeah, but that's

38:11

not... I've saw the Batman. That's not

38:14

your job or your industry. So for

38:16

you, it is fun. For me, it

38:18

is work. Yeah. And so I haven't,

38:20

you know, I have not seen the

38:22

last couple comic movies. And he hasn't

38:24

seen... But now you're like, I'm gonna

38:27

go into Craven. He hasn't seen any

38:29

in a while. And we both said,

38:31

like, like, Craven looks like, such a

38:33

such a disaster that we almost... to

38:36

see it in the theater. I don't

38:38

know that it'll be morbious. You don't,

38:40

you don't, though. You don't have to

38:43

do that. Well, no, we made a

38:45

promise to each other that we would

38:47

go together and support and see it

38:50

in the theater. So, because, you know,

38:52

we'll be the only people there, right?

38:54

Like, I went to buy tickets to

38:57

go see Morbious, to go see Craven,

38:59

same difference. It's Craven time. It is

39:01

Craven time. Cinemark, I

39:03

had some passes for Cinemark

39:05

and I was going to

39:07

use, right? So I went

39:09

into the Cinemark app, which

39:12

I sold some credit on,

39:14

from when I had had

39:16

like the subscription to the

39:18

movie thing like forever ago.

39:20

Last couple, last couple passes

39:22

for some movies on there.

39:24

Two o'clock show on Thursday.

39:26

Not anything fancy. It's a

39:28

normal screen. There's no giant

39:30

IMAC showing for Craven, shockingly.

39:33

I think there is some there's

39:35

some debox seats, you know, debox.

39:37

This is the fucking worst part,

39:39

you know, debox. It's a scene

39:42

of like, fucking speakers and the

39:44

shakes and shit. Oh, okay. Yeah,

39:46

sure. So I went to buy

39:48

the two tickets. The cinema app

39:51

has a brand new feature that

39:53

automatically puts into my cart what

39:55

it thinks are the two best

39:57

seats based on my previous purchases.

39:59

And put the D-box seats. The

40:02

two best seats it chose were

40:04

the D-box seats, the most expensive

40:06

seats in the theater. I have

40:08

never once purchased D-box tickets. Oh

40:11

yeah, it wasn't seeing the best.

40:13

It was seeing the most expensive.

40:15

Correct. It said for my convenience,

40:17

it would suggest the best seats

40:20

based on previous purchases. This is

40:22

the most expensive seats. In the

40:24

year 2024 for a two o'clock

40:26

show in Mountain View. Uh-huh. For

40:29

a non-specialty screen. How much are

40:31

two debox tickets after service fees?

40:33

Uh, service fees. How much do

40:35

you think these tickets were that

40:38

they tried to get me to

40:40

buy? I bet you they were

40:42

like $25 a piece. They were

40:44

$25 a piece plus a dollar

40:47

a piece. They want you to

40:49

pay $27 a seat to go

40:51

see a movie. $50. Hey, this

40:53

is right, nobody's seeing movies in

40:55

the theaters. $54 for two people

40:58

to see Craven the Fucking Hunter.

41:00

And you didn't pay, please tell

41:02

me you didn't pay that. No,

41:04

I had two free passes because

41:07

I had my account. Oh, my

41:09

account. So I paid the $398

41:11

in service fees, because I'm no

41:13

longer a member, so I have

41:16

to pay the online fee now.

41:18

But I'm just blowing through the

41:20

last of my free tickets. I

41:22

saw, I saw, we saw, I

41:25

think you might have linked this

41:27

article. $54! Right. A couple weeks

41:29

ago, somebody in our, they shared

41:31

an article that was like, oh,

41:34

why, you know, some editorial that's

41:36

like, why aren't people going to

41:38

the theaters and, you know, the,

41:40

oh, it was, theaters are losing

41:43

casual movie goers. And here's why

41:45

that's a problem, one of those

41:47

kind of things. And it's like,

41:49

so I saw, there was a

41:51

comment that was like, the practice

41:54

aren't casual. Like, no. and his

41:56

article doesn't even bring up any

41:58

of that. It's like, it's because

42:00

it's too expensive. Moana made $600

42:03

million because nine people went to

42:05

the theater to see it and

42:07

that's what the fucking ticket prices.

42:09

So I don't like those ticket

42:12

prices, like the money coming in

42:14

is meaningless because it's like a

42:16

tenth as many people that would

42:18

have seen it ten years ago.

42:21

but the prices are so god

42:23

damn expensive. I am perfectly fine

42:25

paying for a premium seat in

42:27

a premium big theater, IMAC speakers,

42:30

the whole deal. It ain't this

42:32

though. No, they're opening two, they're

42:34

opening two of the, what do

42:36

they call them, the Alamo draft

42:39

houses down here in Santa Clara

42:41

and Santa Clara County. Yeah, one

42:43

Mountain View and one in Santa

42:45

Clara, one in Santa Clara and

42:47

one in Santa Clara. Nice. with

42:50

ushers and food service and premium,

42:52

you know, all amazing seating and

42:54

the, you know, the, some of

42:56

the best, it's like the best

42:59

theater in the country, right? Like,

43:01

so if that was 20 bucks

43:03

a seat, I'd be like, yeah,

43:05

okay, this is a, you know,

43:08

I wouldn't pay for craving, but,

43:10

you know, yeah, for the big,

43:12

big movie of the year, yeah,

43:14

this is a premium event, I'm

43:17

fine with this. Sorry. You guys

43:19

are going to freak yourself out.

43:21

I mean, this is, yeah. This

43:23

is like normal theater. It's just

43:26

no way. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Yeah. Yeah,

43:28

next time you're like, hmm, I

43:30

wonder why nobody's going to the

43:32

theater. There's your answer. When like

43:35

$9.99 is my buy price for

43:37

the Black Friday 4K physical edition,

43:39

I'm not going to pay $25

43:41

to see it in the theater.

43:43

I'm sorry. Right.

43:46

Well, I've said before during the

43:48

pandemic, everything should just come to

43:51

streaming day and day. I will

43:53

never see a movie in a

43:55

theater again by choice. I

44:00

mean, might not have a choice

44:02

pretty soon. Great. That's ridiculous. Wow,

44:05

you're going to see Craven the

44:07

Hunter. What's wrong with you? You

44:09

know, I was like, I'm going

44:11

to see Beetle Juice. And you're

44:13

like, what's wrong with you? This

44:15

is that for you. That was

44:17

going to be bad. And you

44:19

know this is going to be

44:22

bad. Oh, I know it's going

44:24

to be terrible. But it's at

44:26

least it's like, at least it's

44:28

like. It's a

44:30

comic book movie, so I

44:32

have, I have a little

44:34

bit of, like, like, you

44:36

know, need to see it.

44:38

But I expect, I expect

44:41

it's going to be a

44:43

fucking absolute trash. God. All

44:45

right, and it's going to

44:47

be like, it's the next

44:49

chapter in like the Morbius,

44:51

Madam Web, Vinam. The last

44:53

chapter, right. The last chapter?

44:55

Yeah, yeah, there will be

44:57

no one. Aren't they making

44:59

like a, like a Sinister

45:01

Six movie or something? No,

45:03

they're not doing anything. Okay?

45:06

No, no, no, no. So

45:08

what they've announced that this

45:10

is the last, last chapter

45:12

of their saga? No, no,

45:14

no, no, no. They've not

45:16

announced anything. This is, I'm

45:18

telling you, breaking news, breaking

45:20

news, breaking news. This

45:23

is the end. Ain't

45:26

it Ryan News is

45:28

reporting that this is

45:31

the final movie in

45:33

the in the Sony

45:36

non spider verse cinematic

45:38

universe because you cannot.

45:41

You can't have. You

45:43

can't have eight failures

45:46

in a row and

45:48

keep making movies like

45:51

like they they will

45:53

just. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

45:56

Hey, this is where

45:58

it stops. Gosh. right,

46:01

okay, no more views

46:03

too, huh? No, no,

46:06

no. Okay, well, yeah,

46:08

pretty sure they're, pretty

46:11

sure they're, pretty sure

46:13

they're long gone from

46:16

that. Great. Well, I

46:18

watched something that's slightly

46:21

less bad. Which

46:23

is the first three episodes

46:25

of pop culture jeopardy streaming

46:28

on Amazon prime video Is

46:30

it the stupidest jeopardy or

46:32

the is this is stupid

46:34

as celebrity jeopardy? You know

46:36

what, celebrity jeopardy is like

46:38

goofy and they, you know,

46:40

they rained in most of

46:42

the celebrities after that terrible

46:44

first season. It's a lot

46:46

less stupid now. But as

46:48

a spinoff, it feels like,

46:50

like, Diet Jeopardy, it feels

46:52

fake. How many, uh, how

46:54

many questions there were about

46:56

funkopops? There were, in the

46:58

first three episodes, there were

47:00

two video game questions. Nurds.

47:02

And they were like, zero,

47:04

April was like, how many

47:06

K-pop questions were there? Like,

47:08

zero? Like, what kind of

47:10

pop culture show is this?

47:13

You don't even have like

47:15

a video game. category? What

47:17

is this? They do it

47:19

and there's three teams of

47:21

three that compete in each

47:23

episode. And I don't know

47:25

why it's got to be

47:27

a T. It's weird. There's

47:29

a bunch of, I mean,

47:31

pop culture. It's got to

47:33

be a bunch of, there's

47:35

got to be a Taylor

47:37

Swiss category, right? Yeah, it's

47:39

going to be the worst

47:41

fucking garbage. It kind of,

47:43

it kind of, it kind

47:45

of is. But

47:48

there's just nothing like it

47:50

didn't strike me as it

47:52

is essential at all. It's

47:54

just like this light kind

47:57

of nothing spin off. hosted

48:00

by Colin Jost from from

48:02

S&L. He's the weekend update

48:05

guy now. He's the head

48:07

writer. You totally know, you

48:10

don't know who that is?

48:12

No. Okay, I don't watch

48:15

S&L. I know who Colin

48:17

Jost, Colin Jost. I don't

48:20

know who that is. And

48:22

he's a perfectly fine host.

48:25

He's, you know, he's no

48:27

Ken Jennings. But, uh, yeah.

48:30

He has a memoir called A

48:33

Very Punchable Face. Sounds about it.

48:35

Yeah. Well, there you go. Yeah.

48:37

Turns out it's about Donald Trump.

48:39

That's weird. But, uh. Yeah,

48:42

so they just started this spin-off

48:44

and it exists. Oh, you sound,

48:46

you sound thrilled. Watch some fucking

48:48

Gundam instead. Watch the little kids

48:50

go to war and have fucking

48:52

PTSD and yeah, and slaughter, have

48:54

a while, watch all their friends

48:56

get slaughtered. It's way more interesting.

48:58

Yeah, sounds very exciting. Yeah. What

49:00

do you get out of? What

49:02

do you get out? Isn't that

49:04

like the bullshit like pop culture,

49:06

trivial pursuers, a bunch of weirdo,

49:08

like baby questions, and it's like

49:10

for olds, or I guess not

49:12

for old, it's for kids? No,

49:14

there was like a ton of

49:17

stuff. I didn't even, I do

49:19

better and regular jeopardy than this.

49:21

Yeah, because you're a weirdo. You're

49:23

not a normal person. This is

49:25

for normal people. No,

49:27

all the pop culture

49:29

stuff is not... I'm

49:31

getting questions whether they're

49:33

about Lizzo or fucking

49:35

Wednesday. There was... Lizzo

49:37

was one of... Brian?

49:39

Actually, wait, let me

49:41

go on my RSS

49:43

blocked list, my my

49:45

RSS blocked freeze list,

49:47

and I bet it's

49:49

all... I bet it's

49:51

all things on that

49:53

list. No, there was

49:55

a question about Lizzo.

49:57

There was actually a

49:59

final. think it was,

50:01

no, maybe it was

50:03

Copaculture Jeopardy. I forget,

50:05

but one, the final

50:07

Jeopardy question was like,

50:09

you know, this character

50:12

appeared on the, on

50:14

television in both the

50:16

1960s and the 2020s,

50:18

and their name has,

50:20

it's from the, the

50:22

Greek for death. And

50:24

I was like, sitting there like,

50:26

I think it was regular jeopardy,

50:29

but I was like, Perry Mason?

50:31

Is there something, is Perry like

50:33

a, is there something like, what,

50:35

what is the first name? And

50:37

it was, it was Morticia Adams,

50:39

because Wednesday, I wasn't even thinking

50:41

that I felt so stupid. So

50:44

yes, both the things you just

50:46

brought up randomly. have

50:48

been featured in the jet

50:50

for you recently. Yeah. I

50:52

did get the Lizzo question

50:54

though. I did. I did

50:57

know that one. Because I

50:59

know she plays a flute.

51:01

That's all I know. But

51:03

I hear flute and musician.

51:05

I'm like, I asked Lizzo.

51:07

So yeah. That's about the

51:09

most exciting thing I've done

51:12

51:53

51:55

51:58

it. Yeah. troll too in Dead

52:02

go play that for 1,800 hours?

52:04

People have asked, no, I've played

52:06

Dead By Daylight for over 5,000

52:09

hours Ryan. I know you have,

52:11

that's why I asked. Yeah. No,

52:13

troll too is not in there,

52:15

people have asked for it though.

52:19

No, the latest killer is a lady

52:21

with a dog and it really, the

52:23

dog sucks and isn't good at like

52:25

actually, too easy to dodge. What was

52:27

the, what was the, what was the,

52:29

what was the, like the gremlins that

52:31

lived in the toilet bowl? What was

52:33

that one? The goollies? Goulies? Yeah, the

52:35

goos suggested those. I don't know, I

52:37

wouldn't put it past him to put

52:39

something like that in there. They put

52:41

Chucky in there and he's small. So

52:46

maybe, I don't know. Shud in

52:48

there? No shud is not, how

52:50

do you, you know, shud? You

52:52

know I used to basically live

52:54

in video stores in the 80s,

52:57

okay? Like every 70s and 80s

52:59

horror movie cover box art, I

53:01

have like a grain in my

53:03

childhood memory. Okay, you never seen

53:05

it though. No, I've never seen

53:07

anything. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. You

53:10

just know the covers. They haven't

53:12

heard anything. That's not the best

53:14

covers. Exactly. Now there's no, there's

53:16

no chud, there's no goulies, there's

53:18

no like April Fool's Day. Yeah,

53:21

anything the last 30 years

53:23

I have no idea. But

53:25

if it's a terrible 80s

53:27

horror movie, like I have

53:29

that box art burned into

53:31

my brain. Do you know

53:34

April Fool's Day? Maybe if

53:36

I saw the cover of

53:38

it. Yeah, you know, a

53:40

sorority house massacre? Slumber party

53:42

massacre. You know slumber party

53:44

massacre. You know slumber party

53:46

massacre. It's like it's like

53:48

the... It's like this iconic

53:50

box art where he's, it's

53:52

like you see sort of

53:54

like them, he's standing over

53:56

them, you see sort of

53:59

between his legs and they're

54:01

like on the ground looking

54:03

up and he's got his

54:05

drill pointed down. it's like

54:07

this very phallic, it's a

54:09

piece, it's called, it's called,

54:11

slumber party massacre. Yeah, very

54:13

famous 80-slasher, underrated. First two.

54:15

It's not like familiar, solid

54:17

familiar. No? But you see

54:19

what I'm talking about. Yes.

54:21

Yes. Yeah. And, yeah, that's,

54:23

that's, that's a good one.

54:27

See I know all those box

54:29

art but I've seen the movies.

54:32

Yeah yeah yeah yeah. I went

54:34

into the video store and went

54:36

that's crazy and then rented it.

54:39

You know toxic Avengers? Of course

54:41

of course I don't toxic Avengers.

54:43

Do you have you ever seen

54:46

it? No no I've never seen

54:48

toxic Avengers. So tremors is like

54:50

the one that I actually saw

54:53

and that's a little bit later.

54:55

That's like PG30. I know because

54:57

it's not like a super horror

55:00

movie. Kevin Bacon. He went on

55:02

Friday the 13th, you know. Is

55:05

that a, uh, what's that, uh,

55:07

was that Kevin Bacon? What was

55:09

that? Kevin, Kevin Bacon. Is that

55:12

a run letter media? Yeah. Yeah,

55:14

yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh,

55:17

you never see Toxic Avenger? No,

55:19

I've never seen anything. Do you

55:21

know anything about what Toxic Avenger

55:23

comic book? Really? Yeah, yeah. That's

55:25

a new Toxic Avenger comic book.

55:27

Really? Yeah, yeah. That's been coming

55:30

out in the last few months.

55:32

Okay, like starring the classic character.

55:34

Yeah, yeah. Not the new one

55:36

that Peter Dinklich plays in the

55:38

movie that was apparently too violent

55:40

to release? I don't think so.

55:43

Okay. I

55:45

would love to just sit down

55:48

with you and watch, a blind

55:50

watch, toxic of endurance, see your

55:52

reaction. I mean, I know it's

55:54

super over-the-top and gory. You have

55:56

no idea. It's pretty bad. way

55:58

people talk about the terrifier, there's

56:00

one you know from today is

56:02

terrifier. Yes, yes. You've heard of

56:04

those, yes. The way that people

56:06

talk about those movies is like,

56:09

Talk of the Avenger was that

56:11

for its time. Yeah, I know,

56:13

I know, I know, all the

56:15

drama stuff, I know. Yeah, it's

56:17

pretty crazy. How did we get

56:19

here? What are we talking about

56:21

80s horror movie art? I'm asking

56:23

you about chud. Oh yeah. Why

56:25

are you asking me about that?

56:28

I don't know. I was asking

56:30

what video games you were playing

56:32

and I was asking, keep finding

56:34

new stupid things I ask you

56:36

about. Oh, things in dead by

56:38

daylight, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. What

56:40

can they add? Real games, play

56:42

fucking horror simulator and murder. That's

56:44

a really, that's a really generous

56:47

way to describe that game. They

56:49

did a user survey recently where

56:51

they were like, what franchise would

56:53

you like to see added? And

56:55

some of the choice, there was

56:57

like W. E. Yeah, so undertake.

56:59

Yeah, the frigate, frigate, undertaker. Please,

57:01

God, no. Sure. Very popular. Oh,

57:03

oh, yeah. He's a big, big

57:06

mega. Do you

57:08

think anyone that watches

57:10

cares? I think maybe

57:12

they would think twice

57:14

about putting him in

57:17

their game. I don't

57:19

know. Anyway, yeah, no,

57:21

I haven't been playing

57:23

anything that exciting lately

57:26

that I can talk

57:28

about. No,

57:30

watching thousands of hours of 80s, Japanese

57:32

TV shows and cartoons like I do?

57:34

No. No. I mean, I saw that

57:36

on. I got to finish up that.

57:38

I got a couple episodes together. I

57:41

think I probably talked about it, but

57:43

I finished like part two of the,

57:45

because it's how they released them in

57:47

multiple parts of the last season of

57:49

Cobra Kai. I did that recently. Your

57:51

57:58

episode is crazy. They

58:00
