Speaker 1: 0:24

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of the bucket bites. We're going to be coming at you with some bite size discussions today, but a bunch of different things from gaming, health and wellness and more. So I'm Ryan Papa Post With me, I've got suggestive gaming zone, josh Picard, I got Logan, who's closing his bottle of whiskey there, and we got bucket bot himself. No, that's actually Tom, that's just me. That's just Tom, tom, just Tom. So we have a really exciting episode today. We're going to be giving away, finally announcing the winner I'm not going to pull it up yet, but the winner of the PC from Dark Fusion Systems. That's going to be exciting. That's going to be exciting Also, just so everybody knows, we had a discussion at the end of last week's episode, and it's not just the PC. Today we are also going to be giving away a $50 gift card and also a $100 gift card. So, runner up prizes, folks and not only that, but those of you who are watching us over on our Twitch page, which is twitchtv slash bucket bites there's just going to be a raffle there for some other small little gift cards for watching live. So, while I'm getting this ready, josh, thank you for letting us use the YouTube for suggestive gaming again. That's very nice of you. It's always nice to kind of bring it up over there, just because I feel like there's such a large audience of people who are like what is Josh do kind of on that in his free time, besides making music? What's that about? I saw something on Twitter Are you making music, bro? What's up with?

Speaker 2: 2:21

that.

Speaker 1: 2:21

So actually, and again, I mentioned Shakers. It's a local bar. Last week on the show and. I met a guy at Shakers who is a drummer and he reignited my thought to create music. So tomorrow we're going to jam. I got some holy shit. We got a scammer in the chat Shit.

Speaker 3: 2:47

Wait, what are you?

Speaker 1: 2:48

talking about. I'm fucking on the twitch, sorry. So yeah, I recorded some music today for him to record some drums over tomorrow, so y'all will hear it as soon as that's ready.

Speaker 2: 2:59

Wow, nice, nice.

Speaker 1: 3:01

Bringing in, bringing in the end of summer on a musical note. Huh, I'm hoping, I'm hoping. Man, it's been like shit, like eight years since I've done anything musically, so I'm very excited. Wow, how poetic Nice. Nice. Well, speaking of the end of summer, I know my kids just went to school. Today. Summer's over, guys, it's depressing. The pumpkin spice latte is back it went so quick, so fast, so I go ahead. You sound so disappointed.

Speaker 2: 3:38

He's like why do you think I'm drinking tonight? Yeah, it went so quick. It really does.

Speaker 1: 3:49

I feel like the older you get, the faster it goes you know there's a scientific theory behind that because, like, it's, time is relative, so it's like when you're younger you have less of a universe to compare it to. When you're 10 years old, a year is 1% of your life, but as you get older, one year is less and less of a percent of your life, so it seems shorter.

Speaker 2: 4:19

Yeah, I can completely see how that is a thing and I feel like it's a true testament, because that's exactly how I felt this summer. Not only that, but today we actually had a parent teacher because our little one, our first one, going to school and she's going to pre preschool. So that was like a whereas time gone.

Speaker 1: 4:46

Well, I mean, how old is your oldest? Now it's three, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I suppose you beat quite a bit there. Wow, yeah, but it's just like they're just older.

Speaker 2: 4:58

Yeah, but yeah, it's just, it's crazy, it really is.

Speaker 3: 5:04

I'm glad the summer is over so I could start going back to college again.

Speaker 1: 5:10

Wow, that's a, that's a unique take.

Speaker 3: 5:13

I know, but I'm excited to borderline a hot take. I'm excited to proceed with my college education, that's honestly, that's admirable yeah.

Speaker 2: 5:28

I respect it.

Speaker 1: 5:29

I'm excited to get through it, I'm excited to move on and move to a new chapter of your life. I like that.

Speaker 2: 5:33

Yeah, you're at a very impressionable stage where you can just maximize your potential and see where it takes you. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1: 5:47

So you're at a very impressionable age, so it's a good thing you hang out with three older guys. Yeah, Dom's an adult everybody.

Speaker 2: 6:01

Well, I just mean college.

Speaker 1: 6:04

It's true, dude, Like that's where you figure out who you are as college. I mean it's pretty like cliche, but yeah.

Speaker 3: 6:13

I'm in my second year. I'm gonna do your program right now, so I'm hoping, of course, I pass and graduate this year, but I've already learned like a lot from my mistakes that I made from last year, so I think I'm going in the right track. I know what I want to do, so I'm ready to get through it Awesome.

Speaker 1: 6:34

There you go, man, so you're excited, but I feel like not everybody's going to be excited to go back to school or well, to just just summer in general, just summer, like it's a good point. I forget. I don't remember which one of you guys said it. Like I don't know. We're up here in Wisconsin, except for Dom, but maybe he is, I don't know, but probably not. But we've had like high seventies all week and it's going to be 100 degrees this weekend. So like yeah, I don't know if you saw that. Yeah, my knees already died like over the last time we had rough 100 degree weather, so I don't know what I'm going to do.

Speaker 3: 7:13

It's actually a cool night where I met. It's a 67 degrees.

Speaker 1: 7:18

It's nice, we can't all be in Alaska. I thought it was California, that's true. How's the hurricane. But no, it's. So. I guess you know we're transitioning to a new season and, Logan, I know this is kind of something you wanted to talk about how can we, how can we make the best of the change of seasons, going from summer into fall, Like?

Speaker 2: 7:44

yeah, cause, honestly, if we thought summer is fast, fall goes by super quick. So it's like utilizing what fall is and making the best of it, because it's only a short window, you know, as far as like the trees turning, utilizing the scenery of trees, if you go nature walking or whatever, like I used to freaking hike all the time when I was in my early twenties. Since I had kids, I haven't done it and I honestly crave it and miss it. So for me personally, I would love to take the kids and my wife on some nature hikes, like go up up north, up in God's country, and to around up there, hike, explore and just utilize fall, because it's just such a. Honestly, for me it's my favorite season, so I always feel I don't do myself right if I don't utilize it correctly.

Speaker 1: 8:43

Right.

Speaker 3: 8:44

Yeah, I enjoy the falls where it's kind of like nice and breezy, not cold, but almost there.

Speaker 1: 8:51

Yeah, I think last year it didn't feel like that at all, like, I think fall last year for where I'm at just felt like summer part two it does kind of feel like that over the years, like it seems like the like spring and fall are getting shorter and shorter, where it's just like it's really really hot and then really really cold, and then really really hot and then really really cold.

Speaker 2: 9:13

So yeah, weird, yeah, I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 1: 9:17

I don't know Climate is changing what you watch your poor mouth. I'm just kidding, but no. But to answer the question, this is fall is my favorite time here. Like I'm a huge football fan, I'm also kind of a chunky monkey and I like to wear layers, so like if I could put on like a sweater or something. Hey, this is a real thing. You know, any of my, any of my Huskier people out there, if you like to put on an extra layer just to hide that couple extra pounds, that's something I like to do. I love being able to wear a light sweater, just something to have my big old bed. Yeah, I'm a hoodie guy, so I like that too.

Speaker 3: 9:59

I miss wearing hoodies.

Speaker 2: 10:00

I'm a hoodie and flannel guy. It's hot man.

Speaker 1: 10:05

Yeah, like you can't wear a hoodie if it's hot, I mean, I don't know I mean, yeah, it's gonna be 100 degrees in a couple of days. Yeah, let me wear my hoodie when it's 100 degrees. Oh, I guess you're down in your basement, right, you're down in your sex dungeon yeah so that's a cold. Oh, I gotta get the nipples erect. He keeps it cold.

Speaker 2: 10:25

What kind of show is this? What kind of show is this?

Speaker 1: 10:27

Yeah, welcome to suggestive gaming on YouTube Family friendly.

Speaker 2: 10:30

Oh my God, yeah that, and like campfires. I feel like it's hard to do campfires in summer because it could be like 75 with humidity and it's already warm and you sit around campfire just like just heat in your face.

Speaker 1: 10:45

Yeah, you just sweating. Yeah, you can just smell and bad.

Speaker 2: 10:49

You kind of want that coolness around you and you stay by the fire to keep warm. You can't really do that, you know, in summer, or I mean I guess you can do it in spring, but at least from when I was growing up, yeah, but it we always did fires in fall.

Speaker 1: 11:07

I feel like like bonfires is one of the big like summer like thing, especially in Wisconsin, where you know your nights you're getting down into this like upper sixties. You know like I feel like bonfires are I don't know, I just feel like that's something huge for.

Speaker 2: 11:24

Well, yeah, I suppose, because like June, july it can be just fine, but like when you get into like August, where it's just hot.

Speaker 1: 11:32

Yeah, that's the odd days.

Speaker 2: 11:34

Yeah, so that doesn't make sense to do campfires in that, so, but at least for me I'm nostalgic with the growing up playing catch the flag. Fair Well, my parents are all drinker on the fire. Ghost of the graveyard.

Speaker 1: 11:52

Oh yes, Take the fucking can.

Speaker 2: 11:59

Man, I would say, like I should.

Speaker 1: 12:01

We should have like a you know, like a bucket bites childhood game night. But like my, my arthritic back, I could make it through like one.

Speaker 2: 12:14

One game you're like all right, I'm tapped. Yep, Josh, do you want eight?

Speaker 1: 12:17

muscles. Do you remember at Midwest gaming classic there was that really cool like cardboard cut like it was. They had the cardboard laser tag type thing.

Speaker 3: 12:27

But they're like really nice.

Speaker 1: 12:28

And we were considering like, oh, dude, wouldn't it be really cool to do like a bucket bites, like yeah, I don't know, like charity, I don't know capture a flat, whatever it would be? I should talk to Nando because this is going back. But in my early 20s Nando and I got real into laser tag and we bought these. While he bought, I think I chipped in, maybe I'm one of them, but like these really nice, like vests and guns where, like you, obviously feel when you get hit and stuff.

Speaker 2: 12:58

Oh, have to feedback.

Speaker 1: 12:59

Yeah, they got little motors in them Like we should. If you still got those, we should definitely like arrange something. I'll commentate because, again, arthritis, sure. And then the people who don't, that you don't have enough vests for we could just have someone punch you in the chest every time you get yeah yeah, yeah, just swing on. Yeah, that's like.

Speaker 3: 13:19

If we ever do an event like that, everyone's going to be commentating besides me, yeah.

Speaker 1: 13:24

It's just running around in circles, shooting himself. There's like mirrors set up.

Speaker 3: 13:32

Oh man.

Speaker 1: 13:33

What I'm sorry. I got to not read chat when I'm doing these podcasts. I love that chat message Can you read? It please? From who is that? Is that Alitario, alitario? Yeah, their message and chat was damn. I could be a bird and I would really love living on the beard of these two fine gentlemen, so I'm going to assume they mean you and me. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3: 13:56

I hope I'm not talking about me.

Speaker 1: 13:57

I will take being called fine.

Speaker 3: 14:01

Well, you got the head beard.

Speaker 1: 14:02

You got the scalp beard, I've got the normal man.

Speaker 3: 14:05

He clarified, he clarified.

Speaker 1: 14:06

Oh no, he said down Damn it All right, that's just that we're not doing the $50 gift card giveaway.

Speaker 3: 14:15

Now I'm out.

Speaker 1: 14:16

No more.

Speaker 3: 14:17

No, good job.

Speaker 1: 14:18

That's done. But no, I don't know. I feel like I think the bigger change is when you transition from fall to winter. I feel like a lot of people like that's when seasonal depression kind of starts sitting in and like I think it'd be more fun to revisit this once we start going into fall. Like people get excited because all hunting if you hunt or Christmas is coming, if you celebrate Christmas, and like there's reasons to be excited. But a lot of people also get that seasonal depression from these changes in seasons. So yeah, so that's you got to be, you got to watch out.

Speaker 3: 14:52

I feel like I get seasonal happiness between fall and like winter, because I'm ready for the cold man. I love cold weather so much, but when it goes to like hot, that's when I get sad.

Speaker 1: 15:03

Oh, okay, so you are happy all the time, except for spring to summer, because you hate beautiful hot weather. Got it.

Speaker 3: 15:12

Yes, exactly.

Speaker 1: 15:14

What are my favorite? I?

Speaker 3: 15:15

enjoy my cold wind.

Speaker 1: 15:18

One of my favorite Daniel Tosh bits is he said it's like oh, all these people like in the Midwest stuff, they say, oh, I love seasons. He's like I love seasons too. That's why I live in a place that skips the shitty ones. I feel like I would love. I would love to live in a place that's just always warm, like I don't mind the cold, I just fucking hate snow.

Speaker 3: 15:38

Like I hate dealing with snow.

Speaker 1: 15:41

Yeah, that's my like. The first time it fucking snows and everybody on the road forgets, like this happens every fucking year.

Speaker 2: 15:50

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 15:51

There's eight cars on the side of the road, like in every street.

Speaker 2: 15:56

Yeah, it's like I hate it.

Speaker 1: 15:58

Yep, I, but I guess I'm the outlier there. I love it when it snows all of December and then fuck January.

Speaker 2: 16:10

Yeah, right, right, like January and like.

Speaker 1: 16:13

February is like no, nobody loves it, it's just garbage. Yeah, like white, fluffy snow, like you're like all right, and then it turns into that like black, brown, like yellow snow. Or just straight, or just straight ice or ice yeah, but yeah, so yeah, well, well, I think this is a good topic to definitely revisit once every season. You know, here in Wisconsin we get four of them, so that's the fortunate or unfortunate, I guess, depending on how you look at it.

Speaker 3: 16:42

One of them is particularly bad, yeah.

Speaker 1: 16:45

So that's the second winter, yeah.

Speaker 3: 16:49

That's the end of March we get at least two winters yeah.

Speaker 1: 16:53

Yeah, but yeah. So just for anybody that's just coming in or you know whatever, with the live stream we are doing giveaways today $50 gift card. $100 gift card Is there?

Speaker 3: 20:22

That's right.

Speaker 1: 20:23

Oh man, dude, this is so exciting it's. It's one of those things that's like you, you're working for something for months and months and like the culmination of all that hype and excitement is just kind of like starting to just show off. The real giveaway is the friends we made along the way. That is right. Uh, Kyson, Kyson, I'm saying Chison.

Speaker 3: 20:41

I'm saying Chison, I don't care if I'm wrong, I'm sitting on Chison.

Speaker 1: 20:45

Well, I'm probably wrong. I'm the one that gets the names wrong. Uh so like. So if we could take a little step back to go into the whole process here. So obviously we started working with um, uh, uh, dark Fusion Systems and Henry, uh, our boy, and uh I were. I worked with them to build my own PC uh, that I just used actually to play. Uh, oh, thank you for turning off the green screen. That right, there is the PC that we are giving away. So I I worked with Henry and built my own PC. I played Starfield on it uh, actually today, just to test it out. Works great, um. But we partnered up with them as as part of our bucket bites, you know, show, and we wanted to show off their amazing work and also give back to our viewers and listeners. So that's what this is and, like you said, post, it's really cool to finally see the culmination of this, because we've been working. We went over to Henry's place, we filmed a bunch of content and porn and it's, it's I don't know dude, it's fun, it's cool to to finally give it out. I'm excited, yeah, so that'll be coming at some point later during the show. Well, I haven't decided middle and I don't know. You're gonna have to listen and find out, so. But okay, so let's, let's move it along here. I want to talk about something that I saw. I thought it was actually kind of trolling on Twitter or. I'm sorry, x, excuse me, yeah.

Speaker 2: 22:21

Come on, dude, but I'll, I'll, I know that you come on, but what do you still call?

Speaker 1: 22:26

What do you call him now? They're not tweets anymore. Do everyone's?

Speaker 2: 22:28

sipping on bourbon, and I'm not. It's not bourbon.

Speaker 1: 22:32

Well, you got Irish whiskey. Logan has bourbon. Okay, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3: 22:36

I'm just jealous, I'm jealous.

Speaker 1: 22:38

Okay, so I, you're, you're, you're doing me on X, that sounds wait what what?

Speaker 2: 22:43

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

Speaker 1: 22:45

No, okay, I'm sorry, you don't say Okay, I'm sorry, but so I was on X. I was browsing and I saw Laura Laura Croft. Laura Laura Laura.

Speaker 3: 22:55

There's no you. There's no you here.

Speaker 1: 22:57

I use this Listen, listen, as long as you don't get Steve of Warren here to come in here and bitch, slap me. Oh, we should know. But so, laura, laura, I can't even say, it's like it's like Wisconsin I think bag, I can't, you know. Okay, anyways, lady Croft bag. Lady Croft is coming to call a duty in some leaks, like I don't think it was actually like they confirmed. Just Laura Right, laura, laura. I have no idea what was confirmed. I don't know Anyway, so they were going through some code, they were leaking some things. So Laura Croft is coming to cod, which she can go right along in with what's her phone, what's her name, snoop and Nicki Minaj and whoever else. But actually there was more to that leak that I was actually kind of excited for. I feel like Ash Williams, you know from Evil Dead he's he was a now leaked to be in there.

Speaker 3: 23:53

So that'd be kind of cool.

Speaker 1: 23:54

You know a boom, you know, boom, boom stick. I can't say anything. But here's where I kind of get really excited, because I I'm not the biggest fan, but spawn apparently, apparently I like I don't know, it's just one of those things that my dad let me watch when I was a child, which I probably shouldn't have the movie, the movie. The movie is real bad though, but okay, but here, but hear me out. The reason I know about spawn in the first place is because my dad let me watch that movie and then I didn't watch. Oh, that's a bad spot for my text, but that's fine.

Speaker 3: 24:33

So on the right, it's well, it's.

Speaker 1: 24:35

it's there now it's staying there, move it Right. You're making me work so.

Speaker 3: 24:42

I know that.

Speaker 1: 24:43

look, you wanted to steer the ship. This is what you get. We got that. Yeah, Chison in the chat. The HBO show was really really good. The Cartoon. What does it? Oh, the Cartoon? Okay, right, and I saw the cartoon. The cartoon. Who did the cartoons? It wasn't Farland, it was McFarland. Okay, yeah, that's what I thought. So I just saw my. The reason my dad likes spawn was because of all of the McFarland action figures.

Speaker 3: 25:08

Yeah, and all right.

Speaker 1: 25:09

So yeah, so yeah, I just I don't know. I feel like that's something that's pretty cool, and then Skeletor is going to be apparently like from He-Man.

Speaker 3: 25:18

Yes, Okay, for like spawn. That's like the second game he's into now, I think. No well it was an MK 11. I know that Well he was an MK.

Speaker 1: 25:28

He was also in Soul Calibur. Oh, I didn't know that. He was a Xbox exclusive in Soul Calibur three. I want to say Okay. And then Link was the GameCube exclusive.

Speaker 3: 25:42

I don't know too much about spawn, but I enjoy his character. Yeah, I've from a little bit I've seen.

Speaker 1: 25:50

I definitely recommend, if you have Max, check out that cartoon. Yeah, the Cartoon. Yeah, it's like it's it's like a limited series. Yeah, it is really, really, really good. It's a cartoon, but it's obviously like adult themed, yeah, and it's. It's fantastic. So if you don't want to read the spawn books, check out that cartoon. The only good part about the live action movie, though. What was his name the guy he played in the? Was it the Jerk or what was it?

Speaker 3: 26:21

called Steve Martin.

Speaker 1: 26:22

No, no, no, no, it wasn't the Jerk. It wasn't the Jerk. No, it was that. I can't remember his. I can't remember his name now.

Speaker 3: 26:28

Are you John?

Speaker 1: 26:29

Leguizimo, yes, leguizimo, yeah, that was him, that was him. Oh my God, dude he was so.

Speaker 3: 26:35

when he was young he was Luigi in the Mario. There's another movie that he's in that I can't remember.

Speaker 1: 26:40

He's in a lot of movies I know. Fuck, I wish I could remember it was. It wasn't the Jerk. I always mix them up. There's another show or movie that was called the something and he was in that. That's how I first learned of him. But anyways.

Speaker 2: 26:54

I recall.

Speaker 1: 26:55

But the Jerk was Steve Martin.

Speaker 2: 26:56

Yes, yes, yes, it's also a great movie.

Speaker 1: 26:59

Yes, it's an amazing film.

Speaker 2: 27:00

Everybody should watch it.

Speaker 1: 27:01

Yeah that was my favorite movie or my favorite scene in any movie ever, where? So Steve Martin is this poor guy who gets rich and then like people start to come to him for money, for like charities and like like these. This like religious guy comes to him and he shows him a film like on a projector and he's like I've heard of this cat juggling, and on screen at Steve Martin in a mustache and he's just juggling cats. I don't know why, but that's my favorite fucking scene in any movie ever. Go watch the Jerk. The movie I was remember misremembering was called the Pest the Pest.

Speaker 2: 27:39

Never.

Speaker 1: 27:40

The Pest. That is a very 90s comedy Again, if you want to call it that. So, but kind of transitioning. So we got all these care. We talked about this on the show before, but talking about all of these characters and like Fortnite doesn't really good, mixing in all these franchises with what they're doing Now. Call of Duty is obviously mixing franchises, but we have all these actors and influencers, content creators. Doctor Disrespect was trying to get in as a character on MK1. Now I know you're big on MK1, but, one of the three games Dominic has played is including San Andreas, which is the first game he ever played.

Speaker 3: 28:28

Four games, four games in total. Anyway, I don't have much to say.

Speaker 1: 28:34

That gifted sub is perfect. Yeah, I'm sorry. Thank you so much for the gifted sub that goes to Dark Fusion Providing or, you know, they built the computer we're giving away. That's great. Thank you very much for that. So, okay, finish, finish your thought. You're thought they're done. So, yeah, I'm not big on Doctor Disrespect anymore, but it's interesting knowing that he wants to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on. Why not anymore? Yeah, because he did that twice. Was it? Was that it? Was it Van?

Speaker 3: 29:01

No, it's because he's too tall Van for Twitch. I guess I didn't like watch it anymore. Is it because he?

Speaker 1: 29:09

wears a wig. Yeah, is it? Because that gimmick is way played out at this point.

Speaker 3: 29:17

Yeah, so I know he was in one other game before and that was Road Company. That was the one game he's ever been in I think as like a guest character. Yeah, he was just a skin in that game, if I remember. Doc in the Mortal Kombat universe just wouldn't make sense because there hasn't been like any other like content creator in those types of games. So I wouldn't see why it would be a thing. But if it was to happen, then I would expect someone like Dave Batista to be in it, because he was in the trailer, yeah he's in the trailers, and Batista is just really fucking cool as well. So I'd be really down to see him like Power Bomb someone kind of like.

Speaker 1: 29:58

I was going to say if his fatality isn't a Batista bomb, then don't even bother. Did you? Did you see what Doc? Okay, but did you see what Doc wanted, his special or his ultimate, or whatever you call his fatality? to be Sorry. No, he wanted it to be where, like he's. You know, he's just whatever standing there, he gets a phone call on his stupid little fucking flip phone and then his fucking Ferrari or Lamborghini, whatever the fuck he drives comes in from behind him. He has like a back flip over it and it runs over the other guy. Oh, and I just like I would absolutely hate that if that was in a video game. But that's also the same kind of humor that I would like try to like think of and come up with, because I have a P brain.

Speaker 2: 30:40

I just thought it was so funny. His style, though, is very like that.

Speaker 1: 30:44

It's on brand for him. For sure it is on brand.

Speaker 3: 30:46

Yeah, it's definitely on, that's definitely him. Yeah, I hate this guy.

Speaker 2: 30:51

Yeah, that's him All right, I hated him. He's a, he's a, he's jerk. Yeah, he did you implied it.

Speaker 1: 31:03

So again I ask and I've asked this in the past how so if, let's, let's say, mk one, the developers put him in the game? How do you, like now you're starting to mix in content creators into game, like I know that they'll give content creators like voice acting opportunities in games and characters in games, which I think that's totally fine and cool but like, if you're having a playable character and you're like, is that just, is that too far, is that too much?

Speaker 3: 31:33

I feel like it is kind of a fully fledged character for like a fighting game, would be a lot, because then that care to it yeah, there's a lot going into it as a skin it makes a lot more sense to get just put on a character that has similarities in a way, and I mean, I guess can work off of that, but as a fully fledged out character. That would be very extreme and then I think it would cause a lot of like confusion, like I don't think confusion meaning like Netherrealm Studios has sent out like codes to other content creators to play the game early and stuff, and some people have been supporting that game for a very, very long time and knowing that it went to like someone like Dr Disrespect for just being Dr Disrespect.

Speaker 1: 32:19

Also, then they just get but hurt. Yeah, they get, but hurt. I mean, it's like anything, though. I feel like if you're not going to put your foot, you're you're not going to offer, like you're not going to like push to get something you want. It's kind of like one of those things where it's like oh, someone did that, oh, I want to do that.

Speaker 2: 32:32

Now it's it's the early adopter kind of mentality I feel like you have the level of the expectation of like I'm let's say hypothetically, like I am a top streamer on this game. Why am I not in the game? Now? You know what I mean.

Speaker 1: 32:49

Yeah, Ninja had a character in Fortnite, right yeah.

Speaker 2: 32:52

Which was a whole deal, because it took him a while and I feel like there was some publicly spoken on his part of like, why, why is my character not a shame? I feel like they don't like me just putting out unnecessary drama.

Speaker 1: 33:10

It's just for money.

Speaker 2: 33:11

Well, I don't know why I did money like that, but yeah.

Speaker 1: 33:16

I mean, I personally think it's stupid, but I understand why it's done. It's everything's done for money, right. I just think it's it's. It just shows everything. It's just all commercial and I don't know. I feel like a lot of times like I don't mind having like cross franchises, right, you're going to mix up franchises because that's kind of cool, that's collaborative work.

Speaker 3: 33:39

Right, right but.

Speaker 1: 33:40

I just I don't know. I just feel like it's just, it just looks like a money grab to me and I feel like it's it's just cheap to me personally. Yeah, but at the same time, like, so let me play devil's advocate on this whole thing. Like, what's the difference between including Lara Croft, which is a franchise that people like, and including doctor disrespect, which is a brand? At the end of the day, it's a brand that people like Right so what's the difference it's going to be a person, I guess. But at the same time he plays a character. That's a brand.

Speaker 3: 34:16

Right.

Speaker 1: 34:16

So including Arnold Schwarzenegger, because wasn't he, wasn't the Terminator in one of the more?

Speaker 3: 34:21

well term. Yeah, okay, 11.

Speaker 1: 34:22

Yes, yeah, so what's the difference between including the Terminator and including doctor disrespect? It's just it's different mediums, sure, but it's still entertainment. It's characters that people resonate with.

Speaker 3: 34:34

So let me jump in on that. I think it's a lot to do with influence, if that makes any sense, like not necessarily, but elaborate. The Terminator series has a lot more influence than like Doc as a channel.

Speaker 1: 34:50

I would disagree, like now, like in 20, I would disagree. I would say that doc has a far greater reach than Lara Croft, who I mean there hasn't been a Tomb Raider game in what like four years now, and like even that one was like it wasn't huge. You know, like Lara Croft was huge in 1998. But in 2023.

Speaker 2: 35:17

Yeah, so that's what playing devil's devil's advocate.

Speaker 1: 35:22

Double devil.

Speaker 2: 35:24

Let me get my. I can honestly say that I went and read up a redownloaded fortnight when they dropped a skin package. I was like I would want to play that if I ever play fortnight again, which I have not played it since. I bought that pack. I bought the Naruto Shippuden pack which has, like Kakashi, it has itachi, it has some of their pickaxes. Like I spent probably $30 to buy to buy everything I think the larger. But the thing is, I never even used it, I just wanted to have it, so I had it. When it goes away, well, I haven't touched it.

Speaker 1: 36:11

I think the larger revelation here is that Logan is a Naruto fan.

Speaker 2: 36:17

I would have never paid that, truth be told, I've watched through the Shippuden twice the entire series.

Speaker 3: 36:26

Fair enough, I only like Killer B. That's the only character I like in this show. You like Killer B, I only like Killer B. That's the only character I like. I cannot stand Naruto.

Speaker 1: 36:40

There's really nothing about Aminez.

Speaker 3: 36:43

I don't know either.

Speaker 1: 36:47

What are you talking about? You're just like turning out over some Killer B. There's probably some super.

Speaker 3: 36:52

Vegas, character that you only would know if you. Okay that's fine. I haven't watched this show ever. I just played two games.

Speaker 1: 37:01

Alright, alright, I guess Aminez is fair.

Speaker 2: 37:07

He's a Jinshertiki with the eight tails. I believe Eight tails.

Speaker 1: 37:12

Is that like nine tails?

Speaker 2: 37:13

Nine tails is Kuruma. Who's in Naruto?

Speaker 1: 37:18

I thought nine tails was a Pokemon. I thought it was a Pokemon also.

Speaker 2: 37:22

Well the amount of tails dictates in the series is how powerful the beast is, essentially the tailed beast, tailed beast.

Speaker 1: 37:35

Can I derail this for one second with the last ninja in the chat on YouTube asking if anybody has an opinion on the One Piece live action show on Netflix? Anybody?

Speaker 2: 37:47

watch it. I watched the trailer. I don't know. I think it wasn't necessarily positive nor negative. I'd be curious to watch it and see how the series plays out versus just the trailer, because the trailer really didn't Didn't grab you, didn't grab me really. But it turned me off on it.

Speaker 1: 38:09

Have you watched the One Piece Amine or read the manga?

Speaker 2: 38:14

I haven't read it, but I've watched.

Speaker 1: 38:15

Magma, magma. Yeah, it's another Pokemon Magma.

Speaker 2: 38:21

We've got a reference from Magma.

Speaker 1: 38:24

Pokemon is the only anime that.

Speaker 2: 38:26

I know the name actually.

Speaker 1: 38:28

Well, no, I was going to say, but Cowboy Bebop, you always reference. It's like you're one and I've never finished. Cowboy Bebop, we've gone into this several times, but yeah, no One Piece I think I would like, because I love pirates, and isn't that like pirate themed yeah?

Speaker 2: 38:43

it is, Guys. I just thought about something. You want to be the most powerful pirate ever.

Speaker 1: 38:49

I wonder if I should go in blind to the Netflix series. I think you should. That would be interesting.

Speaker 2: 38:54

Yeah, I think you should, Because it just I don't know, like I don't know how many anime live actions you've watched, but like it's definitely. It's that weird going into a. It's just like you create this world that's in the anime world and then going to real life. It's just kind of like a shell shock. At least that was for me, yeah, because I haven't really watched any other live actions like that and I was just like whoa, I don't Did you watch Death Note, the Netflix Death Note. Not yet. Yeah, it's bad. Yeah, it's bad. Is it really it's?

Speaker 1: 39:28

really bad. So I can only imagine if I watch one piece on Netflix, it can only get better If I go back and watch the source material, so maybe I'll check that out. Yeah, oh man, hey, I feel like I can't close, okay.

Speaker 3: 39:45

Jump back on the MK. One doc thing If he was added to the game he would be a skin for, like Johnny Cage. I think if they were to do that, do they?

Speaker 1: 39:52

do that? Do they do skins of characters that are?

Speaker 3: 39:57

For MK 11 they gave, like some DJ, a subzero skin.

Speaker 1: 40:01

Okay, they hadn't voiced a character to.

Speaker 3: 40:03

But yeah, doc could definitely just do a skin for Johnny Cage, because that whole character would fit doc perfectly now I really hope now Was peacemaker confirmed for MK yet, or yes, yes.

Speaker 1: 40:22

So I really hope that they do a John Cena skin.

Speaker 3: 40:25

That would be where he's just.

Speaker 1: 40:33

Do that be so, debbie? That would actually be pretty great actually.

Speaker 2: 40:39

Wind movement from his punching.

Speaker 3: 40:41

Oh no, he could be wearing the outfit, but like yeah.

Speaker 2: 40:47

Yeah that was like Brad Pitt and Deadpool he was invisible. Get the electric heater remember the same for like oh, eight, three seconds, yeah, just dies. That was that weird yeah, in the theater. That was such a amazing reveal yeah, yeah, because that's all I could really afford of his budget.

Speaker 1: 41:12

Oh, See, but dude. Those are the best cameos like it's just the ones that you just you get that glimmer man, but hey, maybe, maybe they'll get that that. That that invisible John Cena skin on PlayStation Plus, you know, with all that extra revenue they're gonna be making, are they making extra?

Speaker 3: 41:29

revenue on.

Speaker 1: 41:30

PlayStation Plus. No, that's a, really, that's like probably the second worst transition I've ever had. Oh cuz they're raising the price. Yeah did you see? Did you see that? By how much to no? It's like like $20, dude. Oh, my year or no. I thought it was a month. What the fuck? Yeah, hold on, let me, let me let's get the Trello.

Speaker 3: 41:51

You have it $20 per month increase. Okay so.

Speaker 1: 41:56

Let me find the article so somebody in chat wants to verify. But I'm pretty sure that was the note that I saw. Playstation I can't spell Plus price increase because I thought it was going up to like it's going up to 40. Oh, it's $40 a year.

Speaker 3: 42:10

So I was gonna say okay, oh, my god, okay, oh.

Speaker 1: 42:13

Years For the essential. Yeah, and so it's going up 20 bucks for the essential, the extras going up 35 bucks and the premiums going up 40 bucks.

Speaker 2: 42:23

I hear that's considerable.

Speaker 3: 42:24

I mean it's still, it's still considerable, for sure, yeah, I.

Speaker 1: 42:28

Mean, I'm a, I'm a dummy. I bought one of those portals. I'm really excited, that's okay, I preordered it, I mean Okay. I mean I'll say this. I was watching a review of it. I'm like, oh, that thing was pretty cool, until I would see myself getting so frustrated I'd break it because of the latency, like it's that, that's it's it would happen, I could never buy it so I always justify this as being like Somebody out there is gonna care about my opinion on this thing, so I'll buy it, and then I'll tell somebody on sorry X what I think about it, and you know, so I I'm. I literally bought it with the intent that Somebody somewhere is gonna be able to hack this thing and run something locally on it, because it looks cool Like it's just a dual shock with a screen in the middle. Yeah, see, but how are you gonna? I don't. There's no real like Hardware on board to like operate anything, though. There's got to be something. If it can decode the stream, there's got to be something where.

Speaker 3: 43:32

I can run. I guess game on it.

Speaker 1: 43:33

So what we're, what we're talking about for those who don't know is PlayStation has got a handheld. It's not like a full-on straight gaming system, but it's basically like taking your phone, putting on two controller ends. It's like a switch, but without the it's, it's a streaming that was real. Yeah, that's really, it's literally a dual sense Like. Imagine the dual sense controller, this guy right here, imagine this, but with your phone in the middle of the two sides.

Speaker 3: 44:01

Someone's making a joke with that.

Speaker 1: 44:02

No, no, really does literally all it does is connect to your ps5 To stream games to it. Wow yeah that's not it can't do any kind of cloud gaming like. It's not like xCloud or anything like that. No, it is just to connect to your own ps5 to To play games and it's. It's not over it. I don't even know if it's over, like. I think you have to be on the same Network, the same network, so I can't even like.

Speaker 3: 44:30

I believe Connect home my, that's my understanding.

Speaker 1: 44:33

If someone has other information, please feel free to prove me wrong, because that's the now be the first time. The reason I'm interested in this, I will say, is because I literally only play my steam deck and my rog ally on my couch. Sure, like I'm just I'd like to play on my couch and just like my fiance can watch TV and do whatever and I'm just playing my game On the side, or yeah, whatever you're at, or? Whatever, what, what if you're, you're going on a flight you got, you're going to Hawaii.

Speaker 3: 45:01

You're taking a home apparently.

Speaker 1: 45:07

Well, I meant for, like your your steam deck and your your well then yes. I can take it with me and play games. But yeah, in this, in this case, it's a yeah, and Chai son in the chat brings up a good point that it doesn't even have standard Bluetooth for audio. You have to buy a new headset that connects with their proprietary wireless Interface. It's yeah. That part is ridiculous. Like that you can't even connect through.

Speaker 2: 45:40

Thank you for saying it.

Speaker 1: 45:42

Thank you for saying it, logan.

Speaker 2: 45:44

Because I can. I can use my yeah. Yeah, it's worse than Apple, is that's? So? Yeah, everybody in the chat.

Speaker 1: 45:53

Who is saying this is pointless and it's stupid? You are right and I still bought it. Yeah, oh, it's so, it's, it's, it's rough, it's rough. But hey, do you know what? With all that price increase in PlayStation Plus, do you what? You can't play a PlayStation Plus Red Dead Redemption that's the third can you not?

Speaker 3: 46:14

played.

Speaker 1: 46:15

Can you know I'm wrong.

Speaker 3: 46:18

I don't know. I was asking no.

Speaker 1: 46:20

I was gonna. I was gonna make the whole Starfield joke because I've been playing that for the last. Oh, there you go. I put in like eight hours today and three hours last night oh. Yeah, I took a PTO day so I can take my kids to school. I did so I mean, I mean you can go out there and watch anybody playing it. I'll say this my first two hours I was it's all right I Played. I re actually restarted it again today because because last night I was, I Was also drinking and I was really tired, so I wanted to give it like a fair shot. But no, today it was fine. I mean it's, you can't go into it thinking it's gonna be star citizen meets fucking.

Speaker 2: 47:04

Full-fledged.

Speaker 1: 47:05

RPG right? Yeah, it's not. It's not that like if you wanted to it thinking that, then you were wrong and I think they were pretty upfront and honest about that from the beginning. I Will say this I I'm so fucking spoiled by the dialogue and Choices in Baldur's Gate from this last month. Oh, I am so fucking spoiled by that that I was so disappointed with the dialogue in Starfield.

Speaker 3: 47:38

Had a game.

Speaker 1: 47:39

I'm sorry, go ahead now Just say say, had I not played and put in a lot of time into Baldur's Gate prior to this game, I probably wouldn't have had any issues. So I gotta ask. So the last game that Bethesda softworks Developed was Fallout 76, but we don't talk about that.

Speaker 3: 47:57

So Apparently much better now. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1: 48:02

I've heard, but I'm just gonna say so. Like, well, let's talk single-player experience. Yeah, so how does this compare to follow for oh, which was the last single-player game? All right, it's Fallout 4 in space. It like I so put it on, I would, I would put it for sure, on par with Fallout 4. For sure it's the start, the start. So the start is ultra slow and I'm like I'm only into the point of the part of the game where, like, things are starting to finally kind of open up a little bit. You know what I mean. So, like it's a really slow burn start. I don't feel like the opening is captivating, I Don't feel like it makes much sense. To be honest, like, for this is no spoilers like, literally, the game starts You're a minor Like, not not an underage, but like a person who you know you're going, you're down and you're shooting up rocks. No, no, you're, you're, you're, you know getting ore and stuff from a mine or what. What do you mean? Or what do you mean?

Speaker 3: 49:06

Oh.

Speaker 1: 49:09

But anyways and you find this artifact you find this artifact which, so now it's like, it's kind of like okay, now it's mass effect, and and you find this artifact, you touch it, you see this vision, mass really yes. It's like Fallout meets mass effect. Okay, the voice acting's mid. Some of the voice actors are better than others. The dialogue choice the dialogue choices are okay. The combat is Significantly improved over Fallout, but it's still not but it's still not to a level You'd like expect from like a first-person shooter. You know.

Speaker 2: 49:48

So like the mechanic side, or what?

Speaker 1: 49:51

yeah, it's a little bit clunky, the? I'll be upfront, the absolute worst part about the game is the UI and the inventory management, which hopefully is something that can be fixed with mods later on, sure, well, and also, like that was Skyrim's problem at first. Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, no, this is much worse Really. Yes, I had no, I've had, I've had no issues landing on planets and exploring them. I know that there's like there's the whole big wall debate thing, whatever. Yeah, the planets they land and they load in chunks and they are Partially kind of generated yeah which, which, which is, honestly, it's, it's fine. In my opinion, I don't think it's that big a deal. Like you got a side, you know how, like you'd land in mass effect and you'd have like this, really like kind of it seemed kind of big at this time. Oh, but it's not it's. It's a much bigger area, and there's there's it. You're exploring planets, right? I Will say this, though, and one of the criticisms is very true the spaceship is very much a Buffer. It's a fancy load, it's a. It's a fancy menu, it's a 3d Sure.

Speaker 2: 51:10

Transfer stuff to your plane.

Speaker 1: 51:13

I did, I did even. Okay, there is, I also did. There is such a steep learning curve with a lot of the functionality of this game that's not directly explained to you and so I could picture a lot of people getting really frustrated. But once you kind of figure things out, it really you want, once you understand it, it really does feel good, it's fun, it's engaging like I played it all day today With no desire to really stop, like I never got frustrated like that. You know the AI is not the best, but we're not playing fucking Halo or we're not playing, you know, a first-person shooter, so you're gonna be getting RPG style AI right? I don't know, the guns feel good. The guns sound good, they feel good. Sometimes they're a little kind of floaty, but it's good. There was actually a segment where I was in a zero G gunfight which was actually it was like in a, like a spaceship casino. This is not part of the main story or nothing like that. There's not. This is something I just found and that was really fucking fun until I couldn't figure out how to get out of the the area.

Speaker 2: 52:19

But that's besides fun until it wasn't. It was fun until I got lost. But yeah.

Speaker 1: 52:24

So like, like I said, I feel like there's a lot of reasons to love it. There's a lot of reasons to hate it. I don't know if you saw the whole like IGN review kind of like I wouldn't call it scandal, but like all of the overseas IGNs gave it like nine out of ten, and then USA IGN gave it a seven out of ten.

Speaker 2: 52:43

Oh.

Speaker 1: 52:45

It's Right now where I'm at before, like, and I haven't even gotten the chance to experience the game. I haven't experienced any shipbuilding yet or Any of the base building or like, and I got you know like eight hours already. It's a, it's a seven and a half out of ten for me, but once I'm able to do what I want, I think it'll very easy it'll. It'll definitely go up once I can kind of. I could be that space cowboy or space trucker or whatever it is I want to be. So do you think it lives up to the?

Speaker 2: 53:19

hype, how much buzz it was getting on social media. So I would I took it with a grain of salt because I knew this was a Bethesda game, Right so that's very gotta give it the tad Howard tax.

Speaker 1: 53:32

Yeah, you got it, I will. I will say this I will say this they said this is the least buggy Bethesda game at launch, which is probably true, but I've still seen my fair share. I was gonna say what a high bar I didn't have a chance to say that. I had one crash. I had one crash and it's because I tried closing myself inside of a toilet.

Speaker 3: 53:58

Oh, so you fucked it up like I mean, I mean, it was a bathroom.

Speaker 1: 54:02

It was a bad. It was a single person bathroom and I closed the door behind me so I could sit on the toilet. You don't have to go to the bathroom in the game, but I wanted to sit. I was trying to role play. Okay, give me, you know what? Did you have a break with fast-traveling or something Fast-traveling? Oh, I didn't know how to do it because it was explained. It was explained poorly, like I said the systems in the game are very complex and they can take some time to get used to. But yeah, so to answer Raman's question, is seven a bad score? I I am a true one to ten kind of person and seven is a pretty good game. Like if I was gonna say it was a four. If I was gonna say it was a four or five, then you know it's really not, it's not worth anybody's time, but it feels like a six. Yeah, I would still play it and probably enjoy it. Seven is pretty. Damn good it it's, yeah. So yeah, I'm of the mindset that if you give a game a ten, you literally cannot find anything that makes that game better, right. So you saying it's a seven is still pretty good. It's. It's a pretty damn good, exciting, fun game and I'm really really looking forward to net spending the next four days, because I also took off on Tuesday to play this. So this guy, what do you? Did you even work? Geez, not today and not on Monday or Tuesday either. Fair enough, so you're off Tuesday. I am off on Tuesday, yes, just to play this game. I Did take off on Tuesday just to play this game, all right, well.

Speaker 3: 55:38

I took a time.

Speaker 1: 55:39

So if you swing out to lunch I will be having lunch with him. Hey, why don't we make it a four or some and invite. Henry, because I'm meeting Henry on Tuesday. Let's do him so I can give him this. Oh shit, I'm not gonna undo the green screen. So anyways, for those of you who are maybe just kind of strolling in right now, we've had a giveaway going along all summer long, literally June 1st until it ended yesterday. We're gonna be giving away a PC and we still have a hundred dollar give gift card to give away for there. If you're on suggestive gaming's YouTube, you can go to twitchtv, slash bucket bites and do exclamation and follow us first, by the way, that's a huge prerequisite and then do exclamation point raffle. I'm gonna be giving away some gift cards 25 dollar gift cards. Today Giveaway day here. It is giveaway day on bucket bites and we really appreciate all of your support and listening and hopefully. Really appreciate it, because you said we leave.

Speaker 3: 57:04

Really.

Speaker 1: 57:05

I did. I did have two margaritas and a couple of beers before the show, so, but anyways.

Speaker 3: 57:12

So Logan and.

Speaker 1: 57:13

I are responsible. We drink during the show. No, no, no no listen, mama post, mama post. She's like can we, can we go get nachos and margaritas please? And I'm like I can't, my show's gonna be early. And then Dom's like I can't, I'm gonna be late, and I'm like, oh darn, we're gonna have to start it. I'm just kidding, so, but with that being said, with that being said, I want to talk about our next game of the month. We didn't do one last month. Oh, this month is going to kind of be now. Josh, you're working on a video for a particular game. I'm working on like eight videos right now. The one, the one that I'm helping you with, are you planning on doing in October or? I am planning on releasing it in October. Okay, so then, what I don't want to know. If I want to spoil it, then Go ahead. Okay, so we're doing, technically, two games of the month this month. Oh, the makeup because I didn't do one last month. Now none of these pages are live yet, so make sure you're following us on X or Twitter threads, facebook, whatever, wherever. The first game of the month, which I will not be doing a video on, but somebody else might be, is going to be Starfield. So what that means is at the end of the month, from a giveaway page, we'll be giving away a copy of Starfield. What a copy of this game, this year's biggest game.

Speaker 3: 59:00

Second, I like.

Speaker 1: 59:01

Baldur's Gate, more still? Well, yeah, the greatest game for X box in 12 years, this year's biggest game, xbox and PC, so you're going to give it away for free if somebody follows and is you know well, kind of, there's a whole page. Yes, pretty much yes.

Speaker 3: 59:21

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: 59:23

Just stick, just stick around, just stick around. Follow, there'll be a page going on our discord. By the way, if you go to link t r dot e, slash bucket bites, there's all of our socials on there and that's how you can't miss anything down. Put it in the chair. Yeah, the other thing, the other game of the month.

Speaker 3: 59:43

Before you get to the other game of the month, I have a question. I thought we weren't doing big ass games for game of the month.

Speaker 1: 59:51

You're right. So Starfield is just kind of a makeup. It's a makeup me apologizing for not having a game of the month last month, and also because that's something we could talk about this month. That's true, absolutely something we could talk about all month. The other game of the month. So one of the things kind of the prerequisites for our game of the month, kind of the name bucket bites, bite size games, games that could be completed in just a few hours, you know, like eight to 10, maybe max. Another game, the next game is going to be Alan Wake, the remastered, of course, or definitive edition. Is that what it's called?

Speaker 3: 1:00:34

It was remastered. The remastered.

Speaker 1: 1:00:37

Yeah, so we're going to be giving away a copy of Alan Wake, one of my personal favorite games of all time. My son is down here. What's up, buddy? You just here to say hi, all right.

Speaker 3: 1:00:49

Come here and say hi, he's like hiding around the corner.

Speaker 1: 1:00:54

You're good, buddy. He had his first day of school today. What's up? You good, you're nervous. You got like 600,000 people watching you right now. So 600,000. So okay, so we've got our game of the month. There's going to be pages out. Keep an eye out for that. You'll be able to win a copy of it just by supporting us, listening to us and so on. Sorry, but, just going back, alan Wake. Obviously the sequel is coming out next month, yes, so now is a great time to replay, or play for the first time, if you haven't the first Alan Wake, which is a game that Post and I both played on launch, loved it. It came out the same day as Red Dead Redemption, did it really?

Speaker 2: 1:01:38

Yes, I did not know that.

Speaker 1: 1:01:40

Yes, that is why it didn't do as well as they were hoping it would. At the same time, we did end up getting a sequel now, all these years later. So I'm very excited to go back in and, like Post mentioned, we are doing a video on the story of Alan Wake and control, which is in the same universe, and I was so excited to go through that story again of the original Alan Wake and I highly recommend playing that game, not only for the gameplay, which is really good, but that story is so captivating.

Speaker 2: 1:02:16

Alan Wake is.

Speaker 1: 1:02:17

It is, yeah, it is so like play Alan Wake, if you haven't played Alan Wake.

Speaker 3: 1:02:23

I cannot.

Speaker 1: 1:02:25

Has it been like?

Speaker 3: 1:02:26

13 years, it's been a handful.

Speaker 1: 1:02:29

I thought I was an 11. So yeah.

Speaker 3: 1:02:32

I think 11 to 10.

Speaker 1: 1:02:34

Maybe I mean whatever, that's a year.

Speaker 3: 1:02:36

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:02:38

So, but so, yeah, we bucket bites would be making a video on Alan Wake. Just, it's not the same thing, it's not. So Josh does his story summaries. It's going to be great. So if you don't want to play it along with us, make sure you check out his video. Our bucket bites. I just do kind of like a like a review, basically, of the game. It's not story, it's just thoughts, how I enjoyed the game, things like that. So that'll be probably before his his awesome story, summer Dude. Your videos are great, by the way. You got a lot coming. You've been busy, you've been a busy boy. So I have literally been spending at least 16 hours a day, oh my. God For the past month. So October is going to be busy, it's going to be lit, but just real quick. I figured we've had a lot of people in chat today. It's been really exciting to see some of the questions kind of coming in. So there's a couple of questions first, just for anybody here in our panel here Question have you guys played Far Cry New Dawn and if you have, why? We haven't seen any remnants of the United States military in game, including Far Cry five. Where are they? That was the question, literally word for word.

Speaker 3: 1:03:52

Actually fun, funny enough. I have played Far Cry New Dawn. I don't remember the entire question now, but I don't know what. I don't think that game is supposed to be involved with Far Cry five at all.

Speaker 2: 1:04:06

I think that game is bizarre thing, isn't it? Continuation.

Speaker 1: 1:04:11

Yeah, so. So Far Cry New Dawn takes place after the nuclear explosion ending of Far Cry five. So that would be why the military doesn't show up. Is that New Dawn, like it picks up with, like folks who were in a bunker, like a nuclear bunker, when the bomb went off? So that's why I mean you can, you can say it's unrealistic that the military wouldn't have survived the nuclear blast or done anything. But that's their explanation. Is that you know societies wiped out from this nuke.

Speaker 3: 1:04:49

So that game is really fun. By the way, that was like the last Far Cry game that I really enjoyed. Five or New Dawn, new Dawn.

Speaker 1: 1:04:57

New Dawn's really good. I enjoyed a lot. Sorry, I fucked up. New Dawn is not really good. I hated it. Five is good.

Speaker 3: 1:05:04

I didn't like to do it on at all. I liked the new dawn, so what was new dawn.

Speaker 1: 1:05:12

Forgive me because I haven't played any Far Cry since. I think Far Cry two or three Is this. Oh, this is after Far Cry five. Yes, after the nuke and Far Cry five.

Speaker 2: 1:05:23

So there's multiple endings of.

Speaker 1: 1:05:25

Far Cry five. One of them is that there's a nuke that goes off like the cult somehow gets their hands on a nuke and like blows up the United States, okay, and so new dawn is after that. So it's like a post apocalyptic story.

Speaker 3: 1:05:42

Oh, and the main character of that gets like superpowers basically.

Speaker 1: 1:05:47

Oh, so it's kind of like that other one with the neon, the other the Far Cry four, or is it Far?

Speaker 3: 1:05:52

Cry three Blood Dragon, blood Dragon.

Speaker 1: 1:05:54

Yeah, but no, he doesn't know. There's no superpowers in new dawn.

Speaker 3: 1:05:58

What do you mean? Like it's a super jump and stuff in the special dashing in new dawn.

Speaker 1: 1:06:05

Yeah, I don't remember that, you don't remember the super jump?

Speaker 3: 1:06:09

I was spamming that of every fight.

Speaker 1: 1:06:12

I don't remember that, but I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't remember. I literally played every Far Cry game over the course of a month, so it all blends together.

Speaker 3: 1:06:23

No story wise. New dawn is very forgettable, but I enjoyed the gameplay so much that I liked the twins like they were there.

Speaker 1: 1:06:29

Oh yeah, the twins are interesting. The twins are interesting, but other than that, yeah, new dawn is not great. There's too much baseball thing. Shit. Far Cry sucks. Don't play Far Cry, they're not too much baseball. Yeah, like you have to like retrieve materials, to like level up.

Speaker 3: 1:06:50

Yeah, like so many posts, which is normal for Far Cry game, there's a lot in this one. You're going to hate Starfield.

Speaker 2: 1:06:59

It's different, it's different, it's different.

Speaker 1: 1:07:01

I did not like Far Cry, especially by the time I got to new dawn. Holy fuck, I was sick of playing those games. Okay, by the way, I'm with Kaisen. The last Far Cry I played also was Far Cry 2. And the only reason I remember I played it was because I made a custom map called poop dick mountain. Dude, I will say poop dick mountain was great, but also those map editors in the early Far Cry were so amazing, and I'm so yeah, they are falling to the wayside on that.

Speaker 2: 1:07:31

Yeah, that was. That's what made the old Far Cry is really unique. Exactly, yeah. But yeah, five was great. Just because you're out in Montana, you get like the nature vibe, you can fish, yes, you can fly around. Yeah, I loved that.

Speaker 1: 1:07:48

Like getting on the little like planes and just flying around like that. I feel that they did Far Cry 5 really well.

Speaker 3: 1:07:56

Guys, should I play?

Speaker 1: 1:07:57

Far Cry 5?.

Speaker 3: 1:07:58

Yes.

Speaker 2: 1:07:59

You should play Far Cry and stream it yeah.

Speaker 3: 1:08:01

I was worried that it was going to be like. Was it Far Cry 6 with Giancarlo?

Speaker 1: 1:08:05

No.

Speaker 2: 1:08:06

I didn't like that game very much.

Speaker 1: 1:08:09

It's five is the religious cult right.

Speaker 2: 1:08:11

Yes.

Speaker 3: 1:08:11

Yeah, okay, what's the? Joseph Joseph Seed? Yeah, joseph Seed, I like the father.

Speaker 2: 1:08:18

Protect the father.

Speaker 3: 1:08:20

Yeah, I was worried that the game was like mediocre, and I was like oh, it's really good. That's not game pass, right? Yeah, it's six on game pass. I don't know. Five is on game pass. Yeah, check it out, I don't remember yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:08:35

Three is the best one. Obviously, nobody denies that Three is the best one. And then I'd say five, and then the rest of them are fair, fair Four was okay. That was with the guy who played no Four was the one with the guy who played. What's his name? Better call Saul, or was that?

Speaker 3: 1:08:54

five, that was six, that's three.

Speaker 1: 1:08:57

No, Giancarlo.

Speaker 3: 1:08:59

The other one, the other one, the other one. Who plays?

Speaker 1: 1:09:01

Nacho. Who plays Nacho? Nacho is three.

Speaker 3: 1:09:05

Oh, that was okay. Yeah, that was my okay.

Speaker 1: 1:09:07

I have played three. I lied.

Speaker 3: 1:09:08

Four is Trivaker.

Speaker 1: 1:09:09

Okay, okay, really, oh, my God.

Speaker 3: 1:09:12

Yeah, trivaker is the main guy in three. Okay.

Speaker 1: 1:09:14

Okay, okay. But yeah, don't play any of the Far Cry games. Actually they're not fun. Welcome to Bucket Bites, where you get conflicting reviews and answers I was looking at Josh hating everything. That's I mean, that's we expect it. I will say you are a lot nicer to games on this show than you are when you're doing your rants Like either we tired of it by then. Yeah, generally when I'm playing games for the show, I'm drunk as shit and I'm just really fed up by that point. I'm three controllers playing follow up for so I broke three controllers playing for a court. So that's great, that's great. So you, you made a Saints row video, right, I believe I I'm watching that.

Speaker 3: 1:10:06

Yes, I did yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:10:08

Did you break any controllers on that one? I did. Did you really? And that was so you made, and you made that video for the lead up to Far Cry four. Or, I'm sorry, Jesus Saints, row four right the new one or Saints, saints, row.

Speaker 3: 1:10:23

They're all the. I'm sorry, yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:10:24

The reboot.

Speaker 2: 1:10:25

Yes. God, that was also one of the worst games I've ever.

Speaker 1: 1:10:30

Disgusting. Yeah, I have not played it, so I can't say anything. And I will say Volition is one of the the few developers who reached out to me after I made the video and they were some of the coolest people I've ever interacted with in terms of developers whose stuff I've covered. Yeah, they were great. I loved dealing with them. So go on post. What are you going to say? No, I was it was just go ahead, doug.

Speaker 3: 1:11:00

Josh, you just brought up something to me. You said that they, they were very nice to talk to. Have you ever had like a very shitty experience?

Speaker 1: 1:11:06

Yes, and due to a non-disclosure agreement, I cannot talk about it.

Speaker 3: 1:11:10

but every one of them had.

Speaker 1: 1:11:12

PlayStation yeah by the PlayStation handheld right yeah, by a PlayStation and by a Nintendo switch.

Speaker 2: 1:11:20

And a Sega Dreamcast.

Speaker 1: 1:11:22

And a Sega Dreamcast. That's all I can say. I will not tell you not to buy a certain console, but buy a PlayStation and a Nintendo switch.

Speaker 3: 1:11:31

I get it, I get it.

Speaker 1: 1:11:34

This is this is your fault, dom, for this sidebar, but did you see that they what? A couple of years ago they were considering doing another Dreamcast or maybe this is just old news that I'm just wasn't privy to, but they were thinking about making a Dreamcast too, or some others. It was a Sega system. Yeah, I'm pretty sure, and I thought I just saw it recently in the news. That could be completely whatever, but anyways, the reason we're talking about Saints Row is because Volition, as Josh was talking about, unfortunately they're closing their doors.

Speaker 3: 1:12:02

Oh my God, yeah, that's which is you know they're closing their like it's done Like they're.

Speaker 1: 1:12:08

they're gone since June, essentially.

Speaker 3: 1:12:10

Oh, really, I didn't read the full thing. I didn't read the full now Kind of announcing it.

Speaker 2: 1:12:14

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:12:16

So their parent company post. Help me out if you have it handy. I did earlier their parent company, that they got bought out by an unbracer group, embracer. Yes, it's like a conglomerate. Yes, they announced a restructuring in June and there was a lot of fear over what that meant and today it was announced. Was it today or yesterday? It was yesterday? Well, you, it must have been late yesterday it was announced. Okay, so today Volition posted on X their little like goodbye story, so that, yeah, they basically said as part of that restructuring, volition was terminated. So yeah it's because you know it always sucks to see it. Well, you know that a lot of their a lot of their talented devs are going to find good job Like it's it's. You can get a job if you're if you're talented. A lot of the issues with Saints Row was just how crazy it got and over the top I. Now we I think we've actually talked about this before on the show and maybe it was before how we rebooted our show, but I think this is what me and you was this just you and me, Dan?

Speaker 3: 1:13:37

I think so.

Speaker 1: 1:13:37

Yeah, I just I didn't like how Saints Row kept going more and more over the top. Now I think it's just to be kind of an old, more over the top Grand Theft Auto type type type game. I just they got too crazy with it and a lot of people enjoyed it, right, and I loved it. I loved Saints Row, three in particular. Sure, it was when I started going over the top, because it's that's what set them apart from GTA. Yeah, one and two, I felt like we're just Xbox saying we need a GTA.

Speaker 3: 1:14:11

Oh right.

Speaker 1: 1:14:13

But what sucks about all of this is so Volition made you know all the Saints Row games and then they made Agents of Mayhem and I had talked to and this is some insider shit right now I'm not going to say who I talked to, but I talked to somebody at Volition because I included Agents of Mayhem in my Saints Row video and apparently they wanted Agents of Mayhem to be so much more than it was, but the publisher didn't allow them to kind of do what they wanted to do. Yeah, well, I feel like that's the case a lot of the time too. Yep. So it wound up kind of being a wet fart Like it. Just it sucked, and I know all about this. It wasn't, it wasn't a terrible game. I liked it, I liked Agents of Mayhem, but it wasn't what they wanted to do, and that's so sad. That immediately kind of put Volition on the outskirts right, whereas, like all right, well, now they're. Now they're treading water. And then so they're like, okay, let's make another Saints Row. And then again, publisher kind of stepped in and wanted to do things the way they wanted to do things. It came out very lackluster reception, yeah, and so they were, to be fair, to Volition. I'll give them all the credit in the world. They tried to do everything they could inside of the scope of what they were allowed to do and it just they were set up for failure. And unfortunately, here we are. That story is more.

Speaker 3: 1:15:48

That's so sad. Yep, I feel like that. I don't know what company would allow that to go through the story for that game in particular. Many dudes, so many.

Speaker 1: 1:15:58

Well, it's the well. They're the ones that let that story go through is the ones that want they? They're the one that shaped it. Yeah, they're the ones that Greenlit.

Speaker 3: 1:16:05

They wanted.

Speaker 1: 1:16:06

That's what they wanted, so strange yes. So, and again in the chat, I'm seeing people saying you know, the Saints Row reboot wasn't what the fans wanted. I will go out on a limb and say that Volition knew exactly what the fans wanted. Yeah, but they gave you what they were allowed to give you.

Speaker 3: 1:16:25

I feel like that game wasn't made for anyone, right, it was made for my nine year old son.

Speaker 1: 1:16:31

No, it was made for a corporate board room. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3: 1:16:36

Yeah, fair enough, it was made for a committee a committee made that game.

Speaker 1: 1:16:43

Yeah, it's unfortunate, but hey, you know, it just means that these people are all either. Maybe they start their own studio, smaller.

Speaker 2: 1:16:49

I hope it's something like that.

Speaker 1: 1:16:50

Yeah, and hopefully they can make their own new version of Saints Row. It doesn't have to be the same or whatever it could be, whatever it doesn't matter. I, they're, they're. I mean, clearly they're talented and they can get the job done. It's just, you know, when you have people micromanaging Logan, you and I deal with this on the daily. When you got to everybody in a corporate environment deals with when you got too many hands pulling your strings and pulling you aside and whatever it's. It causes issues. So I believe they say too many cooks spoil the broth. Yes, yes, that's, that's exactly it. So, uh, so, let's, let's, let's transition a little bit from some a little bit more somber news to a little bit more exciting news. How about we, from all of those who have already entered in the PC giveaway that ended yesterday, we're going to draw the $100 gift card. And, by the way, this is courtesy of suggestive gaming. And here we go. Someone give me a drum roll, please. Oh my God, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're. I just need toлеi know. Jason first came up, huh, and. And then who wrote in the want box on the right? Who? Who would buy it? How many total points does?

Speaker 2: 1:18:08

that bill pick.

Speaker 1: 1:18:11

My, my, my, my friend has, which is pretty much v Yi the iPad. With a smartphone is one to eight times the cap. And so I just go for the from on and off and all of a sudden I just get to know this bit where he's at and with Steph into twitter.

Speaker 3: 1:18:20

Oh, yeah, max math. Oh, wait a minute.

Speaker 1: 1:18:24

Twitch Raffle. Those are all gonna be announced at the very end of the stream or maybe before we do the PC giveaway. It'll do right before the PC giveaway, just because I can't like. I was gonna do them as we went during the stream, but I can't do them until I close the competition, so Alright so that name sounds so menacing, the Keep. The Keep, the Keep, yeah, yeah, uh. They joined Patreon in 2019.

Speaker 3: 1:18:51

Oh Wow, I know who that is.

Speaker 1: 1:18:54

Yeah, that's now we know. Now, we know you know their address too. We know.

Speaker 3: 1:18:58

Anyways.

Speaker 1: 1:19:00

Oh, that's actually kind of cool. So it's been around for a long time, yeah, apparently. So. Question from YouTube chat Ghost Star Wars 19. Question will you guys play games together? We didn't do it this month just because of things to be an extra busy with the giveaway and everything, but we like to do a monthly community game night where we all get together and play like Jackbox with everybody, or you know, who knows, we might play something altogether, some other kind of game.

Speaker 3: 1:19:27

I hope, so that would be fantastic. Something else that would be cool, yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:19:30

We're always, as you guys on Suggestive Gaming's YouTube know that we're always looking for suggestions, so feel free to suggest things. That's the name of the channel. Good job. So, yeah, yeah, but moving on along, we do have a few more things to talk about before we give away this frickin' awesome. Hold on, let me show it again. Let me show it again. I'm gonna show it. I gotta show it. Put it in front of me, hold on, hold on, oh green, oh, there you go. Yes, oh my God, look at that, look at how beautiful, beautiful. Oh yeah, oh that blue. Oh, this is a custom powder-coated bucket by its blue from Dark Fusion Systems. It is a beautiful system. It's got a 3060 overclocked in there and look at how small it is. Like you can put that anywhere. Yeah, you can. Yeah, it's great, it's fantastic.

Speaker 3: 1:20:26

You could pretend it's a briefcase you can put it with you on a plane.

Speaker 1: 1:20:31

I don't know if you can see it through here, but you got the GPU. You can. Yeah, you got the GPU right here. It's vertical mounted and you got the little I think it's the little cable in there. This side's all the other the rest of the guts over here. It's got the little bucket by its sticker on there. Yes, I think Henry does an amazing job at Dark Fusion Systems here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at building these custom builds. Make sure that, even if you didn't get into that giveaway, even if you didn't win the giveaway, if you're interested in a machine just like that, catered to your specific needs, reach out to Dark Fusion Systems, mention bucket bites and you're going to get how much off post $150 off just by saying our names.

Speaker 3: 1:21:19

So make sure you check that out. That's like half my paycheck.

Speaker 1: 1:21:25

That's sad. Well, that got depressing in a hurry.

Speaker 2: 1:21:32

Anyways are we're moving on, yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:21:36

So, anyways, threads finally added a follow tab. A following tab, yes, oh my God, and a search, oh no, wow, wow. Functionality Too bad, it's too little, too late, actual website. So what I was wondering is has the threads thing died yet? For me it kind of has. I haven't looked at it in a long time, yeah.

Speaker 3: 1:22:04

But I never stepped foot there, so I wouldn't know.

Speaker 1: 1:22:07

You know, and Dom is the voice of the young generation. So if boomers aren't doing it and Dom isn't doing it, what chance do they have?

Speaker 3: 1:22:19

Truly, also considering I'm really out of touch with certain things. I don't even have a Twitter account. Why do?

Speaker 1: 1:22:25

but, like I haven't, nobody has a Twitter account anymore.

Speaker 3: 1:22:28

Oh X account, there you go.

Speaker 1: 1:22:32

I just I don't know. I still feel like X keeps shooting themselves in the foot, whether it's some issue here or there. There's a lot of issues with that platform. So I feel like there's still a market for people to try and still push, get on threads Like I like, it's like anything like I know. I jumped on there right away to make sure I could get bucket bites and my own personal handles and whatever Like, and you should. For the record, you should do that with any new platform, regardless if you're going to use it. That's just, I think, really good advice to anybody. So you can get your name. And here's it. Here's a absolutely fantastic financial tip for you whenever there's a new platform, get every single three character combination that you can, because somebody's going to want one eventually. That's true, that's true. That's a good point. Yeah, that's a good point. Until you take something that's like copy written and trademarked and like no, then they got to pay you, bro, they. There's there's some loopholes to where, like they can like like sue, not sue you, but like they can litigate they can. Well, it wouldn't even be litigation, it's just the platform would give them. It's the platform.

Speaker 2: 1:23:40

It happened with Google. Google lost their domain name and they had to pay some guy like 20 grand to buy it back.

Speaker 3: 1:23:47

There you go, dude, there you go. I think I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1: 1:23:50

Yeah, Only 20 grand. I don't know man, I think it was like a mistake, wasn't it.

Speaker 3: 1:23:55

I think it was a million.

Speaker 2: 1:23:57

It was just like some little tiny mistake. Yeah, it was some small mistake, like they clearly owned it. You know what I mean? And it's Google. So wasn't.

Speaker 3: 1:24:05

It wasn't like a car company. I wasn't something like that.

Speaker 1: 1:24:08

I don't know.

Speaker 3: 1:24:10

I don't want to go into this rabbit hole.

Speaker 1: 1:24:12

Yeah, chai-sin in the chat had a good point. It's, musk didn't pay the guy who had at X, he just took it and changed.

Speaker 2: 1:24:20

You got to.

Speaker 1: 1:24:20

Let's be. He's a rogue running. He's a rogue Like. He's just gone wrong. He just he runs like any other person Like it's just like it's a private company, so like if you do snatch up like at Toyota on threads like Toyota will belong and be like no, give us Toyota and we'll be like all right. The difference comes into play when you're talking about like domain names and stuff like that.

Speaker 3: 1:24:42

Like that's definitely yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:24:45

That's. That's definitely where you can that and, by the way, that's the official formal and financial advice. We don't do that here in bucket bites, yeah. No, no kind of legal anything, that was just a hot tip, yeah. So don't go out there and buy domains that you think are cheap and try to sell it to someone.

Speaker 3: 1:25:02

I mean you could?

Speaker 1: 1:25:03

There are people that do that to make money.

Speaker 3: 1:25:05

But we are not advising you parking.

Speaker 1: 1:25:07

Yeah. So, that is very much a thing. So we've been talking a lot about games. I want to talk, I want to switch gears a little bit Now. Dom, you brought up a really interesting conversation where you wanted to talk about kind of like jumping into the world of dreams and like nightmares, like what goes on in your mind when you're sleeping, and I know this is kind of like a really weird like well, left turn here from gaming. But that's how we do it here. On bucket bites, we're going to take a bunch of different topics and have bite-sized discussions about them, and if you guys want more later, just let us know and we'll definitely bring it back for more discussion. But, dom, what did you have?

Speaker 3: 1:25:50

So eventually, let's start off with saying that I want to like have a continuation of this, because I think dreams are very, very interesting and nightmares are also interesting, because it can also relate to a whole lot of health issues, et cetera. So I just wanted to ask you guys some simple questions about dreams and see your opinions on them. So, first off, do dreams really have any meanings to them?

Speaker 1: 1:26:16

Subconsciously, I think. For sure they do.

Speaker 2: 1:26:18

Yes, I do.

Speaker 1: 1:26:20

Not like predicting the future.

Speaker 3: 1:26:21

I would say there's definitely some kind of subconscious, kind of Like subconscious thing.

Speaker 1: 1:26:28

Yeah, I think they deal with kind of what you're thinking about subconsciously.

Speaker 2: 1:26:32

What you're dealing with, like, let's say, a hypothetical, like you got a really bad car accident. It was really traumatic, and then you have dreams relating with cars and having a similar emotion that invoked through that accident or something, and it's like oh, it clearly was a subconscious thing of a traumatic experience that you went through, right, Dom.

Speaker 1: 1:26:55

Are you going to be? Telling me what dreams mean?

Speaker 3: 1:26:58

No, I would probably not Today, at least now. But what about those dreams where you're falling and then you wake up like Am I the only one that gets those?

Speaker 1: 1:27:10

No.

Speaker 3: 1:27:10

Or I think that's. What do you think those dreams are?

Speaker 2: 1:27:14

I think that's falling into a deep sleep and you're catching yourself.

Speaker 3: 1:27:18

Yeah, your body.

Speaker 2: 1:27:20

Yeah, your body's like a natural reaction of waking up, pulling yourself out of that deep sleep.

Speaker 1: 1:27:29

I don't want to go down the whole experiences thing. I remember it a lot in the past. I would have dreams where I feel like I'm falling and I would catch myself and wake up and my back would be super arched and I'd slam my body down. It would be physical. Oh my God, yeah, because I would wake up my wife and my dog and everything like that. So I don't know, is that something? When you have falling dreams, people do oh, hey, cool.

Speaker 3: 1:27:54

I'm invisible. I mean I think that definitely happens to other people. Doesn't sound too farfetched at all.

Speaker 1: 1:28:00

No, and I've had similar. I've never had a falling dream, but I've had nocturnal panic attack before and it's a similar thing where I'll wake up my fiance and stuff because I'm just. It's hard to explain, I can't explain a panic attack, but literally I will have a panic attack while I'm sleeping and that'll wake me up. So, I'm having the experience of not only waking up from a dream, but experiencing the panic attack as I'm doing that.

Speaker 3: 1:28:28

Yeah, panic afterwards, yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:28:30

But that's very similar, while I'll wake up like ah, ah, yeah right, I don't know how to rationalize anything. So, yeah, I can imagine the sensation, but I've never had actual falling. I would be curious to see for anybody that's watching us live right now, if you have had that one recurring dream that I would love us to each. I don't know if you guys are comfortable telling that at all, but if you've had one recurring dream like what it is, feel free to tell us in chat. I'd be interested. I'd like to read some of these, but go ahead, Dom.

Speaker 3: 1:29:07

Oh, all right. And another thing that interests me a lot about dreams is like lucid dreaming.

Speaker 1: 1:29:15

That's something that I really you can actually like train your brain to do that on purpose. Yeah.

Speaker 3: 1:29:23

I wanted to try it for my own, but I feel like that'd be terrifying in some way.

Speaker 1: 1:29:26

No, so I've had like one or two in my life and it is not terrifying. It's actually like one of the coolest things ever, like when you realize you're dreaming and you're just like, oh shit, I could just like fucking control anything that's going on here.

Speaker 3: 1:29:38

Yeah, that's what's cool about it, yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:29:40

It's really cool. Like one or two times, I want to say like one of them I was just like oh, I've heard like you could fly, and then I just just flying around Just flying.

Speaker 3: 1:29:47

It was good.

Speaker 1: 1:29:49

Well, logan, you said that your wife has those somewhat free, I'm assuming, frequently, or Frequently yes, and then she's dreams are generally pretty vivid too.

Speaker 2: 1:29:58

Yeah, like she can get down to the minor details of her dreams. I don't remember shit from my dreams, like, if it's like, if I don't write it down, I'll forget it in the first hour, but she can, like hours later, be able to recite in great detail everything that happened in her dream. And then she's like yeah, because generally those type of dreams for her are nightmares, so she can't even yes, yeah. She can't even get herself out, even though she knows she's dreaming.

Speaker 1: 1:30:28

Oh, that sounds horrifying.

Speaker 2: 1:30:30

Yeah, yeah, and that's why she swears that she will not have milk, because apparently milk before she goes to bed causes crazy bad dreams for her.

Speaker 1: 1:30:42

That is actually and that's a fair point is like it's so weird how the gut and like the gastrointestinal system can affect like your dream state, because I've heard that too, where I was like when I was having my nocturnal panic attacks. They're like well, are you eating acid-y foods before you go to sleep? I'm like what the fuck is that I was doing? It was absolutely like it was valid because I was like all right, I'm not going to have any spicy food or anything before I go to sleep, and it does absolutely make a difference. It's weird how our bodies are like that.

Speaker 3: 1:31:13

Yeah Post. Have you ever experienced lucid dreaming before?

Speaker 1: 1:31:17

Yeah, I've tried to do it on purpose many a time. Oh no, I'm sorry. Did you like train yourself during?

Speaker 3: 1:31:24

the day yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:31:25

No, no, no, no, it's before you go to bed. Yeah, so, like here's the thing is during the day, the idea is that you have like a wristband or something or like a watch, and during the day you're supposed to train yourself to, like, look at the wristband or look at your watch and think to yourself am I dreaming right now? No, I'm awake Right. So during the day you'd make these habits so that when you're dreaming, you repeat those habits, but in your mind, you go oh, I'm awake.

Speaker 3: 1:31:55

It's kind of like the inception, the inception, yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:31:57

That's exactly where that comes from. Yeah, the top.

Speaker 3: 1:32:01

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:32:03

So no, no, but it's something I would like. Just it's pretty much, you can almost always do it, Not always. That's not fair to say. Well, you could, I would be able to like if I would just sit there and lay in bed, not on my phone or anything, and just be like, all right, like what the hell? I'm invisible, but that's fine. But I would just like train myself, just like I'm going to bed, I'm going to bed, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this. This is my love. Did you guys see that? That was great. So, yes, I've had loose, I've had lucid dreams, I've had very, I have very vivid dreams on occasions where I'm kind of similar to Logan's wife, where I can like remember specific details about certain dreams, that's. But again, that always comes in to play when it's nightmares where it's something that's like traumatized, traumatizing to your brain, right so? But I'm sorry to answer your question, yes, but but for you it was more of like a maintaining control as you were drifting away too Correct. Yeah, just me telling my brain like, hey, I'm going to bed, I'm going to dream and I'm going to dream about this. Pretty much is what it was.

Speaker 3: 1:33:25

I've always wanted to. I don't think I've ever been able to like lose to dream before. I think it being. I think doing it like once would be enough for me and I wouldn't care about it ever again. I just want to try like one time and that's it.

Speaker 1: 1:33:40

Here's the thing is now that you're talking about it, it'll be in your subconscious and, who knows, you know maybe as you as you, as you sleep tonight. Who knows, maybe you'll think like you'll relive this conversation of talking about lucid dreaming and be like oh, maybe I'm asleep, Maybe I'm asleep right now, Maybe this is a dream.

Speaker 2: 1:33:59

So there was. There was a. There's a trick to it where it's like you wear a like a red bracelet, like a red and then you make a mental note of like I'm wearing a red bracelet, I'm wearing a red bracelet. So when you're in the dream, you know, if you look down and you're wearing a red bracelet, it's kind of like it trains your brain to be like oh, this is, this is a dream, like I've heard a similar thing with watches, because apparently, like in dreams, like what?

Speaker 1: 1:34:27

like time isn't, like it's not like if you, exactly if you look at a watch, like, especially an analog watch like the hands won't move like they would in in real life. So like the idea is that you look at a watch during the day and you you focus on the watch so that when you're asleep and you're dreaming, and if you look at a watch, it'll you know hands move differently and you'll recognize oh, that's not right, I must be dreaming. That makes sense Every time I've lucid dreamed I've, it's because something in the dream was wrong, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3: 1:35:05

Like I'm like, that's not right.

Speaker 2: 1:35:06

That's not real.

Speaker 1: 1:35:08

That's how you know that's how you realize you're going to lose a dream. Exactly Is when you catch the thing. That's not right.

Speaker 3: 1:35:14

Right, that's so strange, huh, that's interesting. So to continue on, to continue off of, like controlling your dreams and stuff, as anyone experienced sleep paralysis.

Speaker 1: 1:35:29

We're like you're awake, but you're not. Yeah, but you're not awake.

Speaker 3: 1:35:34

You're just like stuck there. I think that would be absolutely terrifying. I've heard of that and it sounds terrifying.

Speaker 1: 1:35:41

The closest I would have had was the panic attacks, but that was literally like two milliseconds.

Speaker 3: 1:35:48

That sounds like an actual nightmare. Pun intended, but that sounds just like unbearable. Imagine just being stuck in bed and you see something in the corner of your eye. Just like that would be.

Speaker 1: 1:36:05

You're saying like dreaming and you're totally awake. Well, that's what sleep paralysis is. You're like in a half state of sleeping and awake, so like you're conscious, but your mind, like the weird dopamine receptors or whatever they are, is still. That would be such a mind, fuck yeah.

Speaker 2: 1:36:26

I had that happen, but I was on. It was after a post surgery, so I was on pain meds, sure, and I had a dream, like I remember like dreaming while I was awake, like I remember looking around and I was dreaming like crazy shit, and one of them was this is where they actually had a dumb down, because I saw a big, basically like meteor planet coming towards Earth and I remember being like the world's gonna end. I hit you not. I remember waking up and telling my mom like we need to pray, we need to do something, like it's it's, it's coming to Earth, like the world's gonna end. It was the most horrifying experience ever. And I'm in a hospital. I had a chest tube and I was yeah, yeah, and I was just like we need to pray, we need to do something, the world's gonna end, the planet's gonna hit us. And then that's where she like called the dock and was like yeah, I have a button clicker. Yeah, yeah it was wild. We got to cut that down a bit. Yeah, it was insane it was. I don't recommend it.

Speaker 3: 1:37:43

No, all right, so let's end this topic off on. My last question for everyone is are nightmares only caused by underlying mental issues, or nightmares be caused by anything? Anything?

Speaker 1: 1:37:57

I feel like there's a lot of external factors, like including diet, like it's someone said in chat I forget who it was, but they're like you know, chocolate before bed can cause easily covered nightmares and things like that which I believe I don't eat a lot of chocolate doesn't look like it, but I I don't. I could believe it. I think it could be like I'll have nightmares if I, if I fall asleep when you laughing because look, look, it's pissed. When I slip in these little step self deprecating jokes, he's like fucking stop it. He was yelling at me at work the other day and I'm like.

Speaker 2: 1:38:32

I'm sorry I can't help it, I'm just silent to shaking my head Just like be positive.

Speaker 1: 1:38:37

All right. Anyways, I'll have nightmares. If I fall asleep on my like back Like because generally I'm a side or stomach sleeper, but if I fall asleep on my back, it's almost nine times out of 10. I will. I will wake up from a nightmare of some sort. That's crazy. So there's some kind of you know yeah.

Speaker 3: 1:38:57

Wow, that's so strange. I haven't like remembered one of my dreams in a long time, but the one I have remembered was, I guess, considered a nightmare to make it.

Speaker 1: 1:39:08

You were doing a podcast with three old men.

Speaker 3: 1:39:13

It went on for hours, and hours.

Speaker 2: 1:39:16

Sorry, tom, it's not a nightmare, it's reality. Picture yourself.

Speaker 3: 1:39:22

So basically in the stream I was in my vehicle, which is a truck, and it was like nighttime, I think it was kind of raining, and I went around a corner and my truck all of a sudden like basically fell off a cliff. And I remember hearing the engine go because, like when you get air in a vehicle, engine will freak out a little bit, and I remember hearing that then like falling out of my truck and I see my truck land at least like three feet away from me, just everything, just like it squished about the truck. I remember standing up and being like sure, then I woke up. That's exactly how I react to.

Speaker 1: 1:40:04

So, Tom, before you close the books on this topic, I would like to, because it was a question I had before. Have any of you guys had reoccurring dreams that you can think of? Like there was someone chat where, like, hey, I remember seeing this ghost at the top of the stairs, or whatever. I'm just kind of curious. I have one that I've had since, like, I was a younger kid that I would love to share. I still get it. But I was curious before I said it.

Speaker 3: 1:40:32

I don't think I've ever had a reoccurring one, but I have one dream that I've remembered since I was a little kid, just like you, like very tiny little kid, but like I don't know why. This is stuck in my mind ever since. But I don't think it's a reoccurring dream, of course, because I haven't dreamed about it again. So what was your reoccurring?

Speaker 1: 1:40:56

No, you can't just like start and then stop. You got to finish, what was it?

Speaker 3: 1:41:02

Oh, the dream that I just stuck in my brain. It was very so. Basically it was in Alleyway. It was me and my dad. I was probably like four years old when I first had this dream and it was me and my dad. That's Alleyway, and my dad found like a waffle maker and like a really like old school like waffle maker had like red things that he did up to I don't know what they're called Coils Coils, yes, the coils. And I remember he plugged it into like this public outlet kind of, and he just plugged it in and it was on the floor and you were like we're making waffles now and we made the first batch of.

Speaker 1: 1:41:44

Yo, that reminds me of a. I want a chicken sandwich with some waffle fries for free.

Speaker 3: 1:41:49

That's what that reminds me of.

Speaker 2: 1:41:50

I'm sorry that's probably super vague. I remember those, I remember my dad.

Speaker 3: 1:41:59

We got the first batch of waffles done and then I made my waffles and then I looked to the right where my dad was, and his head is in the waffle maker and he pulls out his head and his head is now waffle shaped. This is stuck in my head. I was like four. That's amazing. I remember there's like eyeballs coming out and his blood gushing and stuff. It was terrifying.

Speaker 1: 1:42:21

Dude, I'm pretty sure that's like how all of these children's like horror games start Like how they play time and stuff. Now I can imagine someone playing a game where, like, they come down, that's, we should make it. We should make it. Yeah, I'm going to install Unity right now. You wake up as a kid, you go downstairs and your dad's head, he's like, it's like one of those like wholesome dads too.

Speaker 3: 1:42:49

Yeah, he's a super nice guy. He's like a very sweet voice.

Speaker 1: 1:42:53

And then he Wait, what are you doing, dad?

Speaker 3: 1:42:57

He's just fucking red eyes with the waffles Dude that's, I'd play it.

Speaker 1: 1:43:02

I'd play it. Everybody, look out for waffle dad coming 2024.

Speaker 2: 1:43:07

Only in year of development.

Speaker 1: 1:43:08

Wow, only a couple months.

Speaker 2: 1:43:10

Hey man, we got.

Speaker 1: 1:43:12

I just wanted to share mine just because I think this is so I would be. I don't know, I'd be like a younger, maybe like 12, 13 years old, and have you ever seen the cartoon hey Arnold? So I was in the world of hey Arnold, it was wintertime and I'd be wearing a big puffy jacket. You know it's wintertime and, josh, there's an elementary school by you with a big like asphalt playground, by me.

Speaker 3: 1:43:43

By where you were growing up.

Speaker 1: 1:43:45

Yeah, just keep fucking doxing me, bro.

Speaker 2: 1:43:47

No, I know exactly I know the one you're talking about.

Speaker 1: 1:43:50

Yeah, I don't want to say the name of the school or anything, but so I would be out there playing and it'd be snowing and everything and I would be just playing like kickball or whatever and a frickin' T-Rex would just like come around the corner and chase me and this still happens. This still happens to this day. Wow, oh, big as a T-Rex, wow. It's like from Jurassic Park.

Speaker 3: 1:44:17

Are you aging with this dream or are you still like back to? No, I'm still a kid. I'm still a kid, you're still.

Speaker 2: 1:44:22

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:44:22

I think the last time I've had this dream was probably like ten years ago, but still.

Speaker 3: 1:44:27

So were you growing.

Speaker 1: 1:44:29

Oh, it's happened enough where I remember it like to a T and I would always end up waking up when it ate me and I like would be like I couldn't breathe, like it killed me and I would not breathe.

Speaker 3: 1:44:41

Right, so yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:44:43

If you die in the dream, you die for real, bro, I know. So like luckily I got pooped out or something.

Speaker 3: 1:44:47

I know you got it. Yeah, you woke up just in time.

Speaker 1: 1:44:50

No, I just I don't know. It's one of those things. Like you have people, some people have dreams and they just it's happened a lot.

Speaker 3: 1:44:56

And I just I don't know, I don't know why, when you mentioned the like T-Rex chasing you, I thought about the scene in SpongeBob where, like SpongeBob's dreaming and there's a robot chasing him and just SpongeBob's screaming yeah, I screamed, just like it to you, I didn't, I didn't, but yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:45:14

So one last topic, I think, before we we wrap up with a PC giveaway. Oh shit, we give away PC bro. We're giving it away here in a few minutes. Yeah, dreams are wild, how they work, by the way, a pocket of ramen Anytime. I've died in the dream, by the way, to review bill USA and twitch chat. I would always be like super short of breath, like it's like I died, like I probably died in real life and I'm a zombie. But anyways, this is a. This actually is a funny transition. We're going to talk about Logan. You want to go a little bit health and wellness here again, like self improvement, and what are the things that you want to just take the take the reins. Well, can we? Can we take a pause real quick before we go into that? Can we update from last week? Yeah, no. I, we said, we said in a couple of months we said it.

Speaker 3: 1:46:07

No, we said a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1: 1:46:08

All right, fair enough, fair enough. I'm not going to do that because I haven't done shit, yet I was going to say. I almost did that because I've been mentally like literally every single day trying to keep, keep things in mind. But I will keep going, I will keep going and keep going. Yeah, I've been really bad about it. So there's your update.

Speaker 3: 1:46:27

I suck You're doing a good job. That's the update. I've been doing it.

Speaker 1: 1:46:31

Post is not, but let's do a real update, like next week when I was planning on trying to actually next week. So if you listen, last week, next week, we'll give our, we'll give our, we'll give our updates. And just a quick recap on that it's a Logan. Your whole thing was it was you count to five.

Speaker 2: 1:46:48

Count down from five.

Speaker 3: 1:46:50

I'm sorry. Count down from five. Count down from five One. Do the thing.

Speaker 1: 1:46:53

Oh, that's why it doesn't work. I always count two, five. I go one, two, three four, that's your problem.

Speaker 2: 1:46:56

Yeah, I'm doing a backwards. Yeah, I'm doing a backwards.

Speaker 1: 1:47:00

Yeah, but no, you count to five or count down from five, so that you're not thinking of ways to talk yourself out of doing something that you need to do.

Speaker 2: 1:47:08

Yes, Right and.

Speaker 3: 1:47:09

I'm understanding that right.

Speaker 1: 1:47:10

Think about something you need to do. You count down from five, and when you hit zero, you just do it. You just go do it, because you've you don't have any way to talk yourself out of it anymore. All right, so this week though, logan, take it away, buddy.

Speaker 2: 1:47:22

Yeah. So I just kind of didn't want to do like a continuation of this mental wellness health type of thing, just getting some topics and then also trying to involve, you know, people in the chat, basically just self-improvement. What things do people struggle with? What do you think? If you self-reflect, what do you feel like as your, as your shortcomings? And I would love to kind of take some of those ideas and we can circle back on them next week and kind of tackle them. We're not trying to delve into them, but just have a light conversation like idea picking. For example, for myself, I personally stay up way too late because I have the how to, how, to put it. It's almost like I don't want to start tomorrow yet because it's another day.

Speaker 1: 1:48:21

That's a real one. That's a real one.

Speaker 2: 1:48:23

It's a real one, I think a lot of people struggle with. So I purposely will stay up to not have tomorrow come yet.

Speaker 1: 1:48:31

Yeah, I feel that one big time, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: 1:48:36

That's an example, but also something that I personally struggle with. So if there's anything else that you guys have, you know, or anyone in chat that wants to contribute, and we can talk about it next week, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1: 1:48:51

So sure You're going to write these down, so we can talk about them next week. All right Cool.

Speaker 3: 1:48:57

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:48:57

That's I was going to say. For me that's a big one is a reason why I stay up so late is because I well, it's going to sound depressing. By the way, mental health is a good thing to talk about. Feel free to always talk to somebody if you have any issues or something you just need to talk about you know so it's a really big thing. I know a lot of people like to just kind of like quote, unquote man up and like just hold it in.

Speaker 2: 1:49:20

Yeah, it helps. It helps to talk, Especially in men, but it's becoming more. It's becoming more apparent that traditional men were raised to compartmentalize their feelings and you can't show emotion, which is starting to kind of make the bend and be on the bend, I should say, and get better at it. But yeah, so I just wanted to kind of open it up and have a little discussion on ideas and topics that people might be struggling with or things that like hey, this happened today, you know, like a difficult situation where I had to handle something.

Speaker 1: 1:50:06

So, in a non-ironic, not trying to be funny kind of way, how long of how long can my list be? I would say it was kind of joking, I wouldn't go too deep, especially in a public kind of forum like this, but yeah, I mean, I mean, it's your top three.

Speaker 2: 1:50:24

I think that you, you know, as I wouldn't say like a problem, but you know you're not setting yourself up for each day for success. You know what I mean. Especially like, for example, if you're staying up late, you're not giving yourself the right amount of sleep. That can affect your overall health. Your attention to detail, as far as how well you operate at your job or in school. Yeah, it just it can contribute to a lot of different things. It could even weaken your immune system and be more susceptible to being sick, which it just turns into a whole snowball. So I just want this mental health wellness segment to be an ongoing thing and continue that. So okay, but yeah All right, anything off the anything off of anyone's heads. Otherwise I can circle back and think of some I have um.

Speaker 3: 1:51:26

I think I struggle with having like like long-term stripes, If that makes any sense. Like you said, like I don't know what you meant by long-term stripes, Like stripes, meaning like something that I like already do and I have to do it like consistently, Like oh, you're.

Speaker 2: 1:51:50

you're saying like you burn too hot on something that you want to do, so you'll do it for a little bit and then you won't continue doing it. You don't know.

Speaker 3: 1:51:57

And then I'll stop and then, like one day, I'll just I'm back doing it again. It's it's very hard to explain what I mean, cause I barely understand it myself.

Speaker 1: 1:52:07

No, I know what you mean and I feel like I'm a really broken person cause everything the Logan said. I'm like oh yeah, that sounds like me, dom. Oh yeah, shit, uh. So I think this is going to be beneficial for everybody.

Speaker 2: 1:52:22

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:52:23

I feel like everybody to a degree can it can can deal with that.

Speaker 3: 1:52:26

Cause I wouldn't say it's like a commitment issue that I have, cause I love committing to things, of course, but like especially your girlfriend. Of course, um, but like staying on the same tempo, I guess, is very difficult for me to do when it's Gotcha, so you play it.

Speaker 2: 1:52:46

You play full play.

Speaker 1: 1:52:47

You play football when you want to play basketball. Sure, well, cause, full sorry, I'll shut the fuck up. Sure, I feel like nevermind, I'll just shut up.

Speaker 3: 1:53:07

But that's all I could think about right now. Maybe I'll think about something else as well, and I struggle with who's next on the chopping block.

Speaker 1: 1:53:18

I haven't heard from Josh yet. So I guess I'm I'm trying to think about, like, what this encompasses, so like this is just something we struggle with in general, like on a day to day basis, or yeah, or it could be a very similar situation that reoccurs.

Speaker 2: 1:53:36

Um, I can give another off the wall example. I'm not a confrontational person, but I somehow managed to find myself getting. Whenever I get into confrontation, I don't know how to handle it, or I can't handle it well because I'm not a confrontational person, so I myself struggle with it and I don't know how to handle it. I never can get better and it could either a make the situation worse, or things don't get resolved, or I end up just swallowing it and not actually addressing, especially if someone else is in the wrong, but I take blame even though I'm not responsible for it. So it's just a reoccurring thing. So it could encompass. The scope of this could be many different things.

Speaker 1: 1:54:30

So so, but this is something that we plan on or at least in 10, 9.

Speaker 3: 1:54:36

Yeah, like we get advice to yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:54:39

I definitely have one in that. So I've talked many times in the past about my panic attacks and my mental health issues that I've dealt with over the past couple of years, and one and one of like the longstanding things that I dealt with is agoraphobia and actually like being able to be in public, leave the house and, you know, do public situations anything? So and that's one of those things is I have been significantly better, but I still will find myself to the point where I'm just like, well, I don't really want to do that thing because I know I'm going to enjoy it. I'm not going to have a good time, but what if I don't? And so I'll make up an excuse to not go out and do said thing. Right, I think that's that's that to me, is like the one thing that I can point to and be like that's what I need to work on and be better. We're like if somebody reaches out and they're like, hey, josh want to come out and do this thing, and I'm just like that would be so much fun, that'd be great, but I don't have six days to prepare to do it. So no, I'm going to come up with an excuse as to why I can't do it. It's a perfect one for the five second rule and absolutely I agree with that entirely Right.

Speaker 2: 1:55:52

And realistically, if it's just like, hey, for example, we're going to like a top golf and we're going to grab a few drinks and hit some balls, it's like you know you're not going to get yourself into any danger, it's not a bad environment, you know the people that you're going with it, you're going to have a good time. So how you handle that could be, you know, doing the five second rule, or realistically, if you, if in that moment you know, if you're not feeling right, you don't want to necessarily make it worse. But yeah, I totally get what you're saying.

Speaker 3: 1:56:25

I want to piggyback off of like two things. So first of all, let's talk about the thing we're talking about now, about like going on public knowing you're going to have a good time, but not like wanting to do it. Basically, I've had this one of my busiest years ever, and every time there's been something planned, I like immediately stress out about it because, like I know going there is going to be fantastic, but then, like the process leading up to it just messes with my brain. Like First I'll do something right now I'm going to Wwe raw Monday night raw. Oh, hell yeah hell yeah, and I know like I will enjoy it, but you know that they will California. I'm so worried about the process of getting there because I drive it. I'm stressed out like about it already because I don't try don't drive, I will.

Speaker 1: 1:57:23

I, I will give you money to uber, uber, I'm not even joking. When you go to those kinds of events, uber dude, because Between parking and trying to get the fuck out of there with all the traffic Like, it is so much easier to.

Speaker 3: 1:57:38

That's been like worrying me sick almost, because like I know going to that experience will be like it would kind of complete my wrestling childhood. It'd be like really cool to see it again. I mean see it for the first time, I mean like in person, even if it's from the nosebleeds, but like the process of getting my old-ass truck there, finding a parking spot for it and then leaving. Yes, that's like freaked me out.

Speaker 1: 1:58:03

That's why I'm saying I I will recommend 110% to uber in those situations if you're, if you're not comfortable with, like, driving through that traffic and getting out, because getting out is the worst. Yeah, part of those experiences, yeah.

Speaker 3: 1:58:18

I know I'll be fine getting there. It's the leaving part that I'm worried about and Like I want to drive there just so I get that more driving experience. But the same time I don't want to like overwhelm myself especially.

Speaker 1: 1:58:30

Absolutely, absolutely. And you're coming down from the event and the last thing you want is to like ruin your night. Yeah, right that kind of commuting.

Speaker 2: 1:58:39

Yeah, exactly, you want to focus on the event and not a. Miter, miter, small piece of two and hit me up, dom, I'll give you.

Speaker 1: 1:58:47

I'll give you money for the uber, like I will.

Speaker 3: 1:58:50

I will gladly help you out if that's the case, but yeah the second thing I want to piggyback off of was the confrontational thing. I'm not a confrontational person either and I recently had a moment where I told you guys, last week I argued with a co-worker and I don't I think I handled it decently, but I get really shady when I I noticed that. I get really shady when I and then when I'm arguing with someone because I don't know how to deal that situation and I Start lashing out, kind of right, right, I see you feel like you kind of hit a like breaking point where yeah, I.

Speaker 1: 1:59:31

Like you're good up to a certain point and then after that like you can't control.

Speaker 3: 1:59:36

The real. I think I have enough self-control, but I'm very snippy and quick, sure, when it comes to things, so like when they would say something to me, I would immediately Throw something at them.

Speaker 1: 1:59:48

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3: 1:59:49

Just like first thing, I thought I was just bam and I don't think that's very good.

Speaker 2: 1:59:55

Right, because I mean it's. It's good to be able to fire back to defend yourself. But yes, you don't necessarily. You're not. Your intention isn't to throw it back at them with the same Validity that you don't know it's down to their level. type of exactly, yeah, right. Or make the situation worse, escalate it Because you're only putting fuel in a fire at that point. You basically want to the effective way to communicate that situation, which was not a positive thing, of like hey, we don't talk about that, that's not right to do, type of thing, yeah, yeah, it's that's. It's a tough thing to to navigate because if it doesn't come natural, like it doesn't for me, I know with those type of situations I feel like it's hard, but being in the moment and knowing that you're having the experience and being like this is that moment. I need to practice this and knowing like You're gonna try to get better at it it's. That's at least what I'm trying to do.

Speaker 3: 2:01:00

Yeah, that seems really hard to do because you don't get into confrontational Situations a lot, I would assume right, you don't get a good opportunity to practice.

Speaker 2: 2:01:09

Yeah, right, you're not you're not actively looking for. Most people aren't looking to be confrontation, unless they're a confrontational person, so they're seeking it out causing confrontation, but Knowing like if something's gonna lead to a tough conversation Like this is gonna be a heated convo, being like, okay, I'm gonna be very aware that, like how I handle this is Not gonna be comfortable in Nashville for me, but I'm gonna do my best to stay level-handed and saying there I wouldn't say the right thing, but communicating it without, in your case, stooping to that person's level.

Speaker 3: 2:01:50

Yeah, yeah, keeping it like at a like a professional level for, say, especially if it's in like workplace right right.

Speaker 2: 2:02:02

There's a bug flying around me. Okay, all right, let's go ahead.

Speaker 1: 2:02:10

Oh no, I don't. I have too long of a list for things. I don't shut the fuck up. I don't know. I don't have a filter. I Do too many self-deprecating jokes to be fair post. You've talked about this jokingly in the past, but you Problems.

Speaker 2: 2:02:26

I joke, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1: 2:02:28

I mean. But I mean like you've used humor as a shield in the past, right over your ADHD and. You know you have it and like and Speaking as somebody who I think I have a you know to an extent something ADHD. But my fiancee and hopefully she wouldn't mind me speaking out of turn on this, but she's recently dealt with kind of treating her own ADHD and, like I, I see a lot of that in you. Yeah, like I think you could, it wouldn't hurt to talk to somebody and maybe Explore some treatment, at least on things that you'd like, the side of things that you don't necessarily see as Beneficial. You know what I mean? Sure, yeah, I know well, for, for what it's worth, I'm I'll be speaking to some doctors Soon good for things, so yeah, I'll let you know how that stuff goes, but yeah, cuz honestly, I think everyone really needs to talk to someone because everyone has something going on.

Speaker 2: 2:03:35

No one has other shit together.

Speaker 1: 2:03:37

No one's no.

Speaker 2: 2:03:39

And if you do, your life's probably super boring.

Speaker 1: 2:03:47

We're gonna have a chance to speak. Well, we appreciate Selena too, so that was Salima. I'm sorry, forgive my ignorance, but yeah, that's. I mean, like I said, there's a I got a Plethora of things that I could give it a list for, so we'll just let that. Let that go. But, logan, you got your list right and we're gonna talk about this next week.
