Speaker 1:
Welcome to Bunk of Bites. It's the show with bits and discussions, and that's actually only showing three people, but we have four. There we go. Alright, show me your glass. What was in there? It was orange and red. No, it's not what's in the glass that matters.
Speaker 2:
It's the glass itself.
Speaker 1:
What's on there I?
Speaker 2:
don't know if you can tell you can't really make it.
Speaker 1:
Oh, kmart, it's a Kmart glass.
Speaker 3:
It's a.
Speaker 4:
Kmart glass.
Speaker 1:
There you go, good ol' Kmart. That's where post and I met. I don't know why, but that sounded so sensual to me, it just did. In the bathroom. Actually, was it in the bathroom. Well, it's not entirely a lie, because one of my first days you made me clean the bathroom. Wow, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. So was that the day that I very vividly remember, a day someone shit on the fucking walls and they called me to clean it.
Speaker 3:
And I told and then you just made me do it.
Speaker 1:
No, I told somebody, whoever I was with it was either. It was one of the what's it?
Speaker 2:
Zach's mom or or it was.
Speaker 1:
Holly, I think, yeah, it was one of those two and I said I'm not cleaning that up and I just kept going back into the break room. Yes, and then they called me and I think you this is one of the first times we ever talked Like you even said you were like. They told me to do it but I wasn't doing it so you had to do it. Thanks for cleaning the poop off the wall. I remember it was vividly Dude, it was so bad. I just remember opening the door, smelling it and it was awful. Yeah, and this is for some reason, we're still friends. Hypost how are you doing? I don't know why anybody's friends with me is to be completely honest and that's not a joke. You know what, though, like, how does that happen? You just you're in that it's that bad. You know IBS or something. You just you pull it down, you just the pressure is too much and just fucking-. So throughout my tenure at Kmart I had to clean up like that same scenario multiple times. I'm going to imagine it's somebody who is not all there, like they don't have their capacities.
Speaker 2:
Sure, at least that's what I'm going to hold.
Speaker 1:
So, exactly so that you know I don't lose all faith in humanity.
Speaker 4:
One of my first weeks at TJ Maxx there is a. The women's bathroom for some reason at TJ Maxx is always nastier than the men's bathroom.
Speaker 1:
Always, it's always the case.
Speaker 4:
So one of the workers came into the break room I was on my break and they said someone just shit on the floor and she was looking around and I was ready to clock out and she called a manager and the manager came to the break room and they were like Joe, joe, someone shit on the floor, who's going to clean it up? And I said not me, I just clocked out. Bye.
Speaker 1:
Oh, you just lucked out, man, because I guarantee you, if you hadn't clocked out you're like, I'm on my way to clock out they would have been like not anymore, Get in the bathroom.
Speaker 4:
And then there is another situation where, like shit on the walls, I don't know. Oh yeah, I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1:
That was every time I was called to the bathroom. It was because it was on the walls. I don't know what the fuck is going on.
Speaker 3:
Shit walls. Is your seat guys in the movie called hall pass? No, I might have. Yeah, there's a scene where there's like this one of the characters was trying to hook up with like a girl that was trying to like get off SIGs and they're in the bathroom. She's like I don't feel good and then she sneezes and it just wall coverage, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's like, oh, I don't remember what, followed by just distinct. You know, just really remember that scene and it was bad.
Speaker 1:
You know, thinking back like it's so screwed up that like I was a 17 year old making minimum wage like cleaning human waste off of a wall. But think about all the people who were like CNAs at that time, making barely over a minimum wage.
Speaker 2:
That's true. Still clean this shit on the daily, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:
Can we support our CNAs everybody?
Speaker 3:
Yeah, please do Please do We'll give a head nod for them.
Speaker 1:
You know, speaking of shitting, have you guys ever used a bidet before? I wish yes.
Speaker 3:
No, yes, no Okay.
Speaker 1:
What, logan, since you have the, did you like it? Do you have one? Let me ask you that.
Speaker 3:
No, I don't have one. I actually used one, ironically, in a stranger's home because I was doing an install and it was a nice home, like you could tell that they had like a really nice bidet and I'm like was this a separate bidet or like an attachment on the toilet? Attachment on the toilet. Okay, but it was heated too, like you sat down and it was preheated and everything. I was like, wow, okay, and when I sat down did my business, I'm like, all right, I'm going to figure out how to do this. So I'm like hitting buttons. Next thing, you know, just a dart shoots up and then starts just going back and forth.
Speaker 1:
I'm like, this thing moves.
Speaker 2:
Oh, that is nice.
Speaker 3:
That is nice. It was a roller coaster but I felt like it kind of like it should have done better. You know, I was kind of disappointed yeah.
Speaker 1:
Oh, you got to come use mine then, man.
Speaker 4:
What do you got?
Speaker 1:
What do you got? I forget the name of it, it's the big.
Speaker 4:
US, is it the?
Speaker 1:
Tushy. Yeah, it's not the Tushy. No there's a brand that we have that's pretty prevalent here in the US, that I can't remember what it's called right now. Just to give a. To give a my own story. I bought a Tushy because I'd heard good things about. I bought the one that, can, you know, hook into your heated water and your normal water so you can decide what temperature you want it. But I went to go put it on and my fucking, like, my vanity for my sink is too wide so it doesn't fit. Oh no. Like the controls don't fit where the vanity is. So it's just sitting there until I rip out the vanity and put in a new one. So, dude, you're going to love it when you can use it. Dude, I'm so excited I want a bidet. So bad because I'm a. I'm a wipes guy, like I got to have wet wipes, you know. So okay, but they would completely eliminate that. Dude. Once you go bidet, you never go back.
Speaker 3:
That's what I'm hoping.
Speaker 1:
No, dude, I am down. I'm going to let you talk, I'm going to go first. I will not poop unless I have access to a bidet. I will suffer Wow. Damn bougie Seriously.
Speaker 4:
I know what air flow to is for you, okay.
Speaker 1:
No, I've had my share of air flow to size, so it's okay, all right. The office is the only place, but like if I'm out in public it's the one exception, yeah. Yeah, I will not. I will not, I will not to anywhere. Dude, it's spoiled. Do you want? Weird, though, people are like weirdly off, put by it, like they're like they're afraid of it or they're like, oh, that's lame, I don't want. I don't want some water clean in my butthole. I'm like what's wrong with you? Well, I think it's just the people who are overly protective of their buttholes. I mean, yeah, I to an extent I get it because, like at least for the longest time here in the U S, like we're strictly paper only, like we're no, no, no moisturizing on that butthole whatsoever, even if it needs it. So, right, true, I don't know. I've I've been excited about this. You know the tissue? Well, yeah, the, the tissue and the other brand that you're you're speaking of like a kind of more mainstream bedaying in the U S. I'm hoping we adopt it more widespread.
Speaker 4:
I sure hope so, dom are these the things I'm going to get excited for when I move into my own house?
Speaker 1:
That. And laundry machines Like when you get a new laundry machine and you're like, yes, yeah, yeah, no, I man, as long as I just it's so nice, it's just so. When we bought my house, it was already installed, so I'm using. It's a pre-owned bidet, which is kind of weird, but at the same time, like whatever whatever it is.
Speaker 4:
It's a store has a lot of controls and it's it is.
Speaker 1:
So it has the heated seats and everything. I didn't. I was uncertain on if I would like it, so the, instead of like trying it on myself, I put my hand over the little sensor because it wants the sensors out. It pushes this little fricking like thing down into the hole and so I put my hand over the sensor and I push the button and I watch that thing fucking spray all the way to the opposite side of my bathroom against the wall. Like this thing. They're powerful dude, it will. It will flake off any poo on your cheeks and your butthole. It's great, it's fantastic.
Speaker 2:
Can you adjust?
Speaker 1:
the angle of that little yes, yes, you can, jesus Christ Turns out I'm just going to drive to post house whenever I got a shit. This sounds like a dream. So there's like a. It has a front wash too. That's in like pink ink. I've never well I've never used it. I don't think my wife's ever used it either.
Speaker 2:
But you don't know how grungle, or like one.
Speaker 4:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
So I've never I should. I'm going to try it out tonight, I think now you should see how far down it goes.
Speaker 4:
I give us a report out next month.
Speaker 1:
I will, I will. I mean, hey, as long as long as nobody has a poop knife, we're okay. So do you guys know?
Speaker 4:
Josh, you know what the poop knife is poop knife.
Speaker 1:
You've never heard of the poop knife. I apparently not Logan you, neither I have.
Speaker 3:
I have a speculated guess, but it's not confident, like I know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:
It's. I don't. I don't believe it's a real story, but there's a story about some dude who his family. They had a knife on the wall that they would use to cut their poop, you know from their butt. I guess. And so he went to his friend's house and spent the night and went to go poop and when he was in there he asked his friend or maybe his beforehand, I don't remember the full story, but he asked his friend where his poop knife was and everyone laughed at him. It's probably some so it's like the seashells. I what's? I don't know the seashells, she seashell. She don't know how to use the seashells. No, what do you do? It's a demolition man reference. Do you ever see the movie demolition man with a? Sylvester Stallone, long billion years ago? Oh he, he goes to the bathroom and like he goes to look for the toilet paper and there's just three seashells. And then he's like I tried to go to the bathroom but there was a. There was only three seashells and they're like you don't know how to use the seashells. It's a. It's just a. Oh no, it's just a funny goof. Everybody go watch demolition man. I fell asleep, but that's fine. I saw the toilet scene.
Speaker 4:
I thought the poop knife was like a. That was like a medicine you take to make your shit soft as fuck. Yeah, I read everywhere.
Speaker 1:
Oh, I'm so blocked, I gotta take a poop knife.
Speaker 4:
That that uh.
Speaker 3:
I've heard of the poop poker.
Speaker 1:
The poop poker poker.
Speaker 3:
Instead of instead of using a plunger helps, you know, really get in there and just a rod that you just yeah what you penetrate.
Speaker 1:
Wait, you penetrate what the bowl or no?
Speaker 3:
no, no, the blockage, yeah, the blockage attacks. The blockage with the how much toilet paper you're?
Speaker 1:
pushing down with the toilet In the toilet. Yeah, you know, it's like that.
Speaker 3:
One time I stayed at your apartment, because you know how toilets work. Right, they go down and then they come up. There's a, there's, it's, it's. It's basically like a you, they're standing water in there.
Speaker 1:
Okay, yeah, right.
Speaker 3:
They just go down right away.
Speaker 2:
So the poker helps you get past that notch or that curve in the toilet.
Speaker 1:
Okay, yeah, that makes that makes sense. Yeah, as long as it's not used for personal. I've never heard of that in my life, but I believe it would work, it works. Would it work better than the?
Speaker 3:
plunger Probably.
Speaker 1:
No, no, no, no. I think that I saw where it like pretty pretty much creates a vacuum seal.
Speaker 3:
Oh my Josh just did Whoa, whoa Dude.
Speaker 1:
We got nipple shots on Josh on camera. There we go.
Speaker 2:
I don't know why that happened.
Speaker 1:
It logan's drinking drinking a bottle of piss.
Speaker 3:
Like what's going on. It's orange, oh man.
Speaker 1:
Orange Welcome to Blockhead Bites. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Josh. We didn't even get to introduce ourselves.
Speaker 2:
That's orange, okay, start to the episode.
Speaker 3:
Orange and tangerine water flavoring All right, that's what we all say.
Speaker 1:
You said tangerine. Honestly, I thought it was apple cider.
Speaker 3:
No, no, no, it's orange and tangerine. Okay, like the Mio.
Speaker 1:
Oh, okay, all right.
Speaker 3:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
Mio, I used to buy those all the time, oh man, but yeah hey, welcome to Blockhead Bites. I'm Ryan Papapost with Josh Picard from Suggestive Gaming.
Speaker 2:
Hello.
Speaker 1:
Dominic and Logan. He made it by miracle. I don't know how it ended up working, but he figured it out and we're here. I loved it better when it wasn't working honestly, Like we should do an episode with.
Speaker 4:
RoboCop, robocop, robocop, logan, with drunk robot Logan.
Speaker 1:
Yes, where it's slow motion and distorted. Yeah, that was golden.
Speaker 3:
That was great, that was a reboot, the old laptop here and here we are.
Speaker 1:
Dude. So we took Logan out to pasture today for lunch because he left me today and, if anybody's listened to the show before, we've had this discussion in the past where Dom's dad would go collect pallets from behind stores, so he'd be stealing pallets from everybody. So we're driving and there's this truck, this old truck that's kind of old and rusty, with a trailer on the back with a bunch of pallets on it. Soon as we ended up in the parking lot to the restaurant for lunch, first thing I said to Logan was that reminds me of Dom's dad.
Speaker 2:
That's adorable.
Speaker 1:
So Dom, just so you know you've imprinted on my life and now I can't think of pallets without that. Let your dad know that he lives rent free in all of our heads.
Speaker 4:
I'll let him know. I was speaking of my father, a while ago he found a lawnmower that was a very it wasn't working at first, of course right, and he fixed it up and it's the best lawnmower he's ever grabbed off the side of the road. He's grabbed multiple lawnmowers. How many has he grabbed?
Speaker 1:
You want to hit an answer, then for me. Thank you.
Speaker 4:
This is the best one he's ever gotten. Surprisingly, at first I was skeptical of it, but it's very. It cuts the grass short and it works very well and I don't know why the people throw it away and I am.
Speaker 3:
I've come to realize that maybe they were throwing it away.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, that's another good point.
Speaker 3:
All. I need is to sharpen some blades and it cuts great. No key.
Speaker 1:
He left his lawnmower in the backyard and it was still running. I was a suit Water running inside of the house and he's probably using his up a day. When I was taking it he was going hey, stop. I think he wanted me to take some money for taking it from him, so he didn't have to take it to the dump.
Speaker 4:
I'm sure they were throwing it away because my dad probably my dad walks in the morning at like four or five in the morning walks around the neighborhood. I don't think anyone's could aggressive around that time. So he probably saw it on the side of the road and he was like I'm gonna take that home.
Speaker 1:
So he's walking around at four or five in the morning before people wake up and realize they left their stuff out overnight, exactly so taking taking pallets and lawnmowers, all right, all right.
Speaker 3:
Everyone's railing on Dom's dad. How many of you guys garbage picked before All right.
Speaker 1:
Never Is anyone garbage. No, that's not true. We took the referee out of the garbage? No, we didn't take them, we threw them out. Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:
We took them out for like 45 hours.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, we did it was an entire week and then we threw them. We made a whole ceremony where we threw them in the compactor and said yeah, we did so. No, I have never taken garbage. Okay, that's true. That's a good story to go on.
Speaker 3:
I have definitely have garbage picked, at least probably five or six times. I'd say I've gotten. Someone was throwing away a window AC unit which worked just fine, Literally worked. It was next to all their garbage. It was on the. I was on the East side, so it was probably someone moving to a place that had one.
Speaker 1:
Dude, I was honestly just going to say if you want to garbage pick, just go in, like at the beginning or end of August college semesters oh, that's on the East side of Milwaukee and people are just throwing away tons of shit that works and is completely fine, just because they're going to different dorms. Yeah.
Speaker 3:
So that that lasted me a long time before I bought my house. But what else did I grab? I think I did do a mower once, a push mower, which worked just fine. I had to do some work to it New spark plug, you know, oil change, that type of stuff, new blade. But yeah, trying to think of the other stuff, it's usually just random stuff that most people don't think they need. but it's like I can use this for something else, truly, and it's just for me at least, because I'm always thinking outside the box like how, if it's a piece of metal, it's like I can use this for something. I don't try to just grab anything, because then then it just becomes a really bad habit. Oh, the one I do remember I almost forgot about. I walked five blocks with a desk. It was a complete desk, it was fully laminate desk for my wife. It's like three feet long, three, no, not three feet, what am I saying? It's like it was like six feet long by with being three feet, walked like five blocks out in Bayview, so on the south side. And it was a workout because I it was like 6, 30 in the morning before garbage pickup and I carry this thing over my head, crazy. I don't know how I was able to move the desk because it was like had the legs attached to it and everything. So I just hauled that. Yeah, because I had a sedan so that I couldn't just go through it in the back of a, like I'd pick up and do it. So I carried it for like five blocks. I was so exhausted by the time I got home it was a week.
Speaker 1:
It's the price. It's the price. There's a price. There's always a price.
Speaker 4:
Finish my story real quick. Sorry, I figured I'm just like my father because one day I was talking about getting a new chair, because I don't know if anyone's seen my old chair it's not pleasant to look at. And the same day I was talking about getting a new chair, me and my dad went out for a drive behind my neighborhood and I happened to see a like I happened to see this chair. You found a bucket. You found a bucket, but yeah, the branded bucket. Oh so like, oh, it looks pretty clean, right, yeah, it does, it does. I was like I'm gonna take that shit. So I threw it in the back of my truck and my dad told me you know, it's the same house I got the lawnmower from.
Speaker 1:
No, I didn't, I didn't care. There's no, can I? Can I tell you something though I would never take a chair, like, regardless of how well it is, if it's free and somebody's just throwing it out, I would never take a chair. Yeah, I thought about a little bit, and because you don't, know how many farts have been in that chair and they don't get cleaned. Like you don't clean a chair, like you never clean a chair, like I farted in this chair at least 1,000 times. at this point I've never cleaned it, you know. So if I gave this chair away, somebody's sitting in a thousand Josh farts. Oh my god, if it's so.
Speaker 3:
I could see that could be a thing, but if it's leather, you could. You could disinfect, wipe it if it's got a cover.
Speaker 1:
I did and fine, you know you watch the cover, but I don't know if it's any kind of chair without a cover.
Speaker 3:
You're just sitting in farts, dude. You got a steam cleaner fucker. Even then I don't know.
Speaker 1:
Can I, can I feel?
Speaker 3:
this deep in there.
Speaker 2:
Go ahead post.
Speaker 1:
I don't know if your head still gear head, if you're still in chat. You said something On your stream today that I'm about to bring up, so I'm sorry. I had a time, but it's on the internet, so it's fair game. Gearhead bought or got a chair from a friend of mine or ours, I should say and he had. So gear had just had surgery on his nose right and he started to get a smell back. And he says on stream to our friend he's like oh, I could, finally I could, start smelling. It smells good at your chair. It just smells so good and I'm just thinking of you telling everybody that there's so many.
Speaker 2:
Oh, man, this is gonna sound weird, but it's not meant to sound weird. I Actually enjoy it and that it see it sounds weird. It sounds weird, right, but anyway, the chair I bought from you smells really good. I Get it still smells like the day I bought it from you. I'm just now getting my smell back, so I Smelt today. I'm like, oh, it's still smell. Yeah, it's weird. Don't, don't judge me, okay.
Speaker 1:
Oh boy this I. Could. I couldn't hold that story and so I'm sorry. He gets the gift. Literally the miracle of smell, Caked in parts. Oh man, okay, so okay. Old man assassins in the twitch chat watching this live right now. It was his chair.
Speaker 3:
It's fact, check my gear head.
Speaker 1:
Wow, man, whoa good job, oh man. Those are some farts that reawaken dreams. I was just man, I was just sitting there working and like listening to him talk. When he said that night, just like looked at my phone, just thinking what the fuck did? He just say I'm crying, actually, I'm sorry, that's amazing. So, dom, by the way, I just want to say Dom and this is this is no shot to or no like shot at people who go and collect other people's unwanted goods. Because because it's not like for real and I shouldn't say it that I've never dumpster dove before because I have. I've grabbed things on the side of the road like desks or chairs or something, that I've left tons of stuff on the side and like I'm so happy when you know other people Grab it and I, like I know it's gonna go to use, as opposed to just sitting in dump or landfill or whatever. So right, right, no, absolutely, absolutely. And I also used to take stuff out of game crazies garbage bin.
Speaker 3:
That's why you see a lot more of Facebook Marketplace people saying, like free sitting out front, come pick it up. Yeah, where it's like, advertising like this is still good. I just I'm not gonna leverage to To charge someone honestly for this. I would be throwing it away.
Speaker 1:
Otherwise, if someone's looking for this, get, come, get it exactly like, like that's, that's what we got to remember is like at least it's not going in the garbage or, you know, going to waste like somebody's gonna use out of it. That's true too yeah cuz kids can only use it for a certain amount of time. Yeah right dude.
Speaker 4:
Facebook Marketplace can be such a funny place. My girlfriend showed me a bunch of pictures of like people's like offering a broken controller for like nine million dollars. So funny. There's a lot of like joke selling things on there. It's I judge people so.
Speaker 1:
I judge people so hard on that fucking thing, just for what they try, especially like computers and stuff. They'll try and sell a computer that's worth like four hundred dollars for nine. I'm like you're out of your goddamn mind, yeah, but I bet you, somebody who doesn't know as well as you will end up buying it you know. Yeah, that's why I'm that asshole that posts and says really like. I'm kind of that asshole when someone clearly try, if it's like a hundred or two over, like whatever, but like if you're clear, like clearly trying to fuck someone over, like, I'll point that shit out In a heartbeat.
Speaker 2:
Fair enough man.
Speaker 4:
Just say it.
Speaker 1:
I know, yeah, I'm sorry I'm ruining the hustle. I'm a stema snitch, I guess. Sorry guys, sorry Facebook, you didn't pay me enough when I streamed on your platform, so I am petty, so alright, anything else, anybody wants to get off their chest today because this has been grand.
Speaker 4:
No, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 1:
No, Okay, all right just that clean clean any couches or chairs that you take off the side of the road. A lot of farts in them. It's all we're saying.
Speaker 4:
Way lots of farts, lots of farts my head hurts too much from laughing about the picturing my dad picking up stolen things.
Speaker 1:
That's what. That's why I like yeah, I'm glad you can laugh at that, knowing we're just joking. So but okay, so moving on to Regular Lee scheduled items for the show. I Just quick hitters number one Activision Blizzard. It's finally fucking done. It's done today.
Speaker 4:
Did you find it?
Speaker 1:
It was actually a really nice video that was there were there were really plucking at heartstrings. Yeah, it was, it was very nice. I recommend anybody to go look up that, that Xbox Activision Announcement video. I don't know what. There was an actual title to it, no.
Speaker 4:
I don't know, but yeah, someone's gonna find a link for it. I want to see oh wait, activision Blizzard King joins Xbox.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it was a very nice video, so Looking forward to seeing Call of Duty on Game Pass here, so I'd never have to pay money again Not that I ever was. But you know, in other follow-up news from things we talked about on the show in the past, unity CEO is stepping down. So if you guys didn't, we talked about that a couple of episodes ago. Well, the guy fucked up and now he's like well, I guess I'm just out of here. My stock prices are dwindling, so I'm out of here now and I wonder how much of that wasn't planned it could be. Yeah. There's always wonder that on that kind of thing, when, like a company makes a horrible decision and then, like they Gage, the public outcry and then immediately oust one singular individual right, well so it's very much a there's always a fall guy. There's always somebody's gonna take the response yeah there's no way, like all of these companies like Logan and I well, we would see it on the daily. We work for a small corporate company and the amount of people that it takes to make one big decision. There's so many people in that, in that whole thing, that decision-making process, that like yeah, like ultimately, yes, you're the CEO, you're the visionary, you're the guy with the face I mean everybody else has faced, but you know what I mean. Like he's yeah, so it's yeah, it's. It's very much a not planned. I'd say like if it was well received, like I don't know whoever would have fucking thought that would be why I mean like, like they're like, oh, we have this terrible idea that we want to do. Can we do it? Like you're close to retirement or whatever, anyway so, or like we want to get rid of this guy anyway. So let's do this extremely Stupid thing that we probably will think we'll get a negative Reaction, but, like on the off chance, it succeeds. Great, if not, we can get rid of this guy anyway. Right and no, absolutely, like I always that it's. I agree with you. I think that's exactly what happens. I would agree with you so. And then, just from one bad decision to another. Actually, it's funny. Logan at work the other day brought up to me something about Best Buy when, cuz I, I had pre-ordered the Lenovo Legion go. Me too. And the only reason, the only reason I did it was because I actually have a Best Buy credit card and it's, it's, it's both. It's burning a hole in my wallet. Before we do that, can we talk about the go real quick? Yeah, oh, absolutely. What made you want? So, first off, the, the Lenovo Legion go is a. It's another portable PC, it's like the steam deck or the ROG Li. Oh, not the switch, because the switch is a, you know well it's a console.
Speaker 3:
I just mean with the joy cons. You know you can.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I like form factor wise, but it's a PC like it's a portable PC.
Speaker 3:
Yes, right, right.
Speaker 1:
So post, what made you buy the Lenovo go? So we very briefly touched on this a few episodes ago, but I don't think we ever really went into details because there was no pre-orders live yet. We only kind of brought it up and I said, maybe I'll do it. So what really captivated me with the Lenovo Legion? Well, number up it's easy, because I don't have a steam deck, I don't have an ROG Li and you know I've. I honestly I've stopped playing Baldur's Gate because I don't Really have the time to play it and if I was laying in bed and playing it, I could do that plate, I could definitely play it. But what really got me was when it, when you look at it. Number one the screen is fucking gorgeous, amazing. It's, it's a beauty, it's the best screen out of all the handhelds, like yeah, bar none, even though it doesn't have variable refresh. But that's a conversation for a minute.
Speaker 2:
I agree, but what?
Speaker 1:
but what it really does is it really does captivate and Capture all of the best things about all of the other handhelds on the market, pretty much. So you've got You've got the. The performance actually ever that marginally better than the ROG Li Because it has the faster RAM. Pretty much is the main difference. Right, it has the track bat of the steam deck and it has the fucking detachable controllers Like a switch does and it so the mouse mode like might seem so it has this mouse mode thing where you could take off the right controller and like use like a mouse for FPS games. That's what I was really. That's the only reason I pre-ordered this thing. I intend to replace my ally with this. Okay, because of that mode like it looks really fucking interesting. It Can I. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but the reason why and I don't the reason why I'm most excited for that is because I also Kind of want to use this as like a portable PC, like not just a straight gaming machine, like I want to be able to use and maybe like edit or or something On this device as well, like if I need to fucking edit something like on the go or something. So, so real quick for the uninformed, like the. So the right, like imagine a switch, the right joycon you can take off, and the bottom of it, like imagine this is the joycon for those who are watching, um, like the bottom of the joycon has an IR sensor so you can move it around like a mouse. So, like, the right joycon works as a mouse as well, so you can like hold it on a flat surface and Move it around like a mouse. So, yeah, that was such a unique idea to me. That's what made me buy it. Well, that's the big you.
Speaker 3:
So it has a stand, so you could just stand up the screen, yep, rather than because it then kind of voids it becoming a handheld then Correct to an extent yeah because you wouldn't hold it with the one hand or you wouldn't hold it with your left hand. Oh yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1:
So, yeah, you can not try to make a device. You can use the left, like the left joycon quote-unquote as like moving around, like your, your WASD, and and then the right joycon quote-unquote is like the mouse that can you know go horizontal like 90 degree angle against. Yeah, like your desk and work is a mouse. It's. It's a really like. I recommend going and looking it up on YouTube to see how it actually works. It's a really unique idea and like. That's the kind of thing that makes me excited is like when you go for a unique new control scheme way better than the trackpad, because the trackpad I don't ever use on my steam deck and I don't there's two of them and you never use one of them, right? Nope, not a one.
Speaker 3:
It's always on accident and it starts doing a ton of stuff I don't want to do. I'm wasting resources, I'm my screen goes looking up or whatever. It's just not good, yeah interesting.
Speaker 1:
The only time I've ever used the trackpads when, when I just mapped them to buttons so that my fiance wouldn't hear me.
Speaker 3:
Clicking buttons in bed. Yeah, that's about it Interesting.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, dom. So the difference Dom, you had your joycons up from your switch, so it's. I think it's very important to note that there there is actually a gyroscope sensor, a G-scope, in the unit itself, but it's not in the remotes, so it's not like you're gonna be sitting there playing, you know, some kind of like boxing game or whatever.
Speaker 3:
You would lay the joycon flat and it becomes a mouse.
Speaker 1:
No, you hold it. No, you hold it vertical, vertical, yeah, like this. It's literally like I I'm trying to describe it, wow.
Speaker 2:
It's holding it right so dumb show.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, so like that you're holding it vertical. Yeah, like picture holding a joystick Against the table and like when you push it up and around, like that's how you like it. Yeah, kind of. That's a. That's a good way to put it. You're drawing with the market with the marker Gotcha in your fist, and this would be the mouse.
Speaker 4:
Yes you're right, yep.
Speaker 3:
Okay, so then Is so then you would pull, is you'd use the trigger Still?
Speaker 1:
yeah, there's. There's extra buttons on the side specifically for that mode.
Speaker 2:
So as these basically for clicking.
Speaker 1:
There's a there's like a right and a right left mouse button.
Speaker 4:
Would it be like?
Speaker 1:
these buttons on the or would be bigger, something like they're much bigger, they're much bigger, much bigger Okay. Yep, so yeah, that's really innovative, I would say that's what, yeah, and that's that's what made me go like all right, I got to get one of these, like that's. So have you watched any reviews, josh, at all? Yeah, yeah, it's interesting all the different takes that people had and so many are Contradictory of each other. Sure, well, and that's, and I agree, like that's the like zeitgeist of the opinions on it, like they're so Bipolar. But that that's the reason why I wanted to get it, was I was like, all right, I want to see where I fit in that spectrum. So, yep, but no, that's that's, that's why I wanted it, that's why I purported it. It might actually be the first time I make a, a video like an unboxing kind of love it yeah. I video, maybe we'll see. I'd have to go rent equipment. No, you don't. So right here I well. Yeah, well, you're also getting one too, though, so you know but, yeah, so but that's, that's so the whole the whole reason we were talking about this was Logan's like oh well, best buys going on a business and I'm like, well, I mean, I don't know if I could ever picture best buy really ever going out of business, out of business but definitely downsizing. But Josh brought up a point when they're no longer selling physical discs. Starting next year yeah 20, that's only a couple months away. Wow, and that's that's the start. I mean that. I mean, to be honest, that could be the start of the downfall. I mean they are closing stores, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 3:
Right right. Oh then this meaning like that would be all the consoles and DVDs that also.
Speaker 1:
Just they have not gone. They have not spoken about whether or not they're going to sell physical games, it's just movies. Oh, okay, so starting next year they're not gonna sell Blu-rays or DVDs or Any kind of movies.
Speaker 3:
And they already phased out music. It's probably because they're bleeding and they're trying to prevent the bleeding as much as possible 110%.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, and they're having.
Speaker 3:
I feel like you couldn't go five feet without running into a Best Buy. Do you need help looking for something? And now it's like you can't find a single person to talk to.
Speaker 1:
There's like no, that's no. Five people, that's true, yeah, and in order to get help at Best Buy, you have to download the app and scan a QR code Like where you are.
Speaker 3:
In the area really Yep.
Speaker 1:
The one over by us, josh, is that Well before they had the, they're renovating it right now. I think they're almost done, but they're usually pretty good at that. One 76? Yes, no, yeah, correct, no, no. They've always been pretty bad for you. Like as soon as they rolled out this whole, you have to scan the QR code thing.
Speaker 2:
When did they?
Speaker 1:
start that, like I want to say, like it was after pandemic, but not much longer after pandemic. I guess I've just had decent, I've had better. I must have had better experiences than you, maybe, because I haven't had that issue. But I also go out and just like look for people and say, hey, you know help me. No, like every time I've been there for the past two years, I'd say, like you have to scan a thing and then you wait for a good 15, 20 minutes until you just leave and go to Amazon. That brings up an interesting point and it's something I told Logan I'm like I can't picture Best Buy ever going out of business. Not because I don't the parking lots are always pretty decently full, like there's always enough people there but merely for the fact that, yes, I don't go in there and really like window shop, like a traditional shopping experience. I will go on their website and order it for pickup and then I'll go and pick it up. So like that store is still getting my business. It's just I'm not going in and actually doing my shopping, I'm just going there to pick it up Because I know what I want already and I don't need the temptation of looking at a fucking $2,000 TV. You know so, but it's interesting. I will say this the only good thing that could come out of a Best Buy fallout is a micro center in Wisconsin we can hope, we can dream Speaking of. If anybody wants to make a micro center trip sometime by the end of the year, let me know. I'd love to.
Speaker 4:
Someone mentioned, like stores closing right For Best Buy stores closing. Yep, you guys heard about the Target stores closing in, like major cities because, of.
Speaker 1:
Really. Yeah, I've heard of that.
Speaker 4:
And, like major cities, targets have been closing down just based off of theft.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, there's a big one, Really big issue with it in Chicago, from what I remember, and it's not just Target.
Speaker 4:
It's Walmart too. Walmart's been getting shit on for like a long ass time now.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, but it's a shame.
Speaker 4:
But at the same time it's not worth Sorry. Walmart near me I'm not going to say where, I don't want to talk to myself, but Walmart near me is yeah, tell us the cross street. They don't sell.
Speaker 1:
I already said, the street that our Best Buy is on.
Speaker 4:
No, I'll talk to the fuck. It's on Fredericksburg. You don't get a call. Yeah, there you go. Fredericksburg Walmart.
Speaker 1:
There's nowhere near where I'm at Los Angeles.
Speaker 4:
You bought it. But anyway, that Walmart is a piece of shit. They don't sell a lot of things anymore because people keep stealing it. They have like everything locked up in containers.
Speaker 1:
Yeah.
Speaker 4:
It is a mess in there and it's kind of fun mess Like you go in there and it's like, wow, it's all empty.
Speaker 1:
Dude, this is kind of low brow, but have you, you guys heard of the website called the People of Walmart, right?
Speaker 3:
Yes, God, yeah.
Speaker 1:
You're going to see a high school. Of course, yeah, I don't know if it's still around anymore, but I used to work for a company and one of some of On occasion I would go and deliver and service some. Oh, what the fuck just happened. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. I don't know what the fuck just happened.
Speaker 3:
Oh, you left the oh you left.
Speaker 2:
Oh, you actually hit a leg, perfectly.
Speaker 1:
What happened? I don't know what happened. You were telling a story and then you just stopped and you disappeared and Logan goes nice Well, oh fuck. I'm glad everyone had fun with that.
Speaker 4:
By the way, the website still exists. The last update was September 22nd 2023.
Speaker 1:
Wow, I used to post people that I saw there, which in retrospect, I kind of regret doing that, because that's kind of really shitty. Yeah, I agree, it's there for purely entertainment purposes, but I think back at that nowadays and I'm like these are just fucking people trying to live their lives. Yeah, right, yeah.
Speaker 3:
But you were young, so you were just a little shit, not knowing any better, thinking not twice about it, just like this fucking weirdo, this would go be good on this website and then you upload it and you're like yeah it's Hilarious, it's interesting how. You're more mature, more grown up, so it's better to be aware of it now than just moving on and continuing that same path.
Speaker 1:
That is true. Yeah, You're not the same person that you were so you shouldn't feel bad.
Speaker 3:
Well, you know, no one has things that they regret when they were younger doing dumb things.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, well, that got depressing, thanks, thanks for that.
Speaker 3:
Thanks for that. No, just put your mind at ease. Just put your mind at ease, that's all.
Speaker 1:
There is no putting my mind at ease, but something that they will be having at Best Vipe by the end of the year is the PS5 Slim, who? Yes, I would love to hear Josh's take on this, because I know you're much more of a PlayStation guy than I. So let me rewind a little bit. When the PS4 Pro came out and it was just the PS, like the PS4 was like two stacks, you know, and then the yes, and then it went to, and then it was three stacks, was the PS4 Pro? And I defended it I was like no, it's cool. Like you know, it's like two stacks to three stacks because it's pro. The PS5 Slim is fucking stupid. It looks horrible, it looks absolutely ridiculous. Well, not only that, but it's only like a couple inches, like an inch shorter. It is an inch slimmer oh my God, oh slimmer.
Speaker 4:
It's also shorter, isn't it?
Speaker 1:
Like by, like a millimeter or something.
Speaker 2:
By an inch? Yeah, okay, it is an inch.
Speaker 1:
Yes, it's an inch slimmer by like an inch and a half shorter Right. So I want you to take your knuckle and do this, like that's how thinner the new PS5 is. So it's literally just an iteration, like it's not even worth talking about, right? Well, the kind of cool thing. There is one kind of cool thing about it. I don't think many people would take advantage of it, but they have the detachable disk drive, which I thought was actually kind of cool. Honestly, it is really cool. So, if you're unaware, the PS5 like fins come off and you can replace them. So with the PS5 slim, like the bottom fin of the digital edition can come off and you can like slot in a disk drive. So even if you buy the digital edition of the PS5 slim, you can later upgrade for like 80 bucks to the 80 bucks I think it is 79.99. It's 4K. That's kind of so but yeah, so you can slot that in later, which is really cool that it's modular. But at the same time Was it I think I actually think it was Sony, but I might have it backwards but one of the big major manufacturers had like patents for fully modular systems and I wonder I mean this goes back like 10 years at this point now.
Speaker 2:
So I don't know.
Speaker 3:
I don't know, it's the same.
Speaker 1:
I know that the 360 had an HD DVD attached. Yeah, that was just USB. It just plugged into the USB in the back, but that's the only thing I'm aware of for like that modular. Okay, hold on, I'm just gonna. I just want to share this on the Twitch stream here real quick, sure, if I can. I don't know if it's actually gonna work. All right, so when I'm showing on the Twitch stream live right now and covering up Josh and Logan, this is a picture of the PS5 slim with that kind of modular looking the disk drive there and the panel just pops off and actually, I'll be honest, the vertical stand looks kind of slick too. If I'm being honest, I want to see if there's a side-by-side Though there's no pictures side-by-side. Is there? I don't think so. No, there's not. I haven't seen good comparisons like side-by-side, but I have seen like mock-ups, side-by-side. Yeah, yeah, no, me, neither. Isn't this thing also the same price as the fucking regular PS5? The digital version is actually more expensive. I mean, I guess I get it, you know but at the same time. It's holiday prices but, yeah, yeah, it'll be on sale after the holidays for what it'll normally be sold at after. So you know it's. I don't know. I've been waiting. Well and see, now I've been thinking more and more Like I've been wanting to get a PS5, but at the same time I'm like I don't. I'm not a big Spider-Man guy. Outside of Spider-Man and God of War, there's no other games that I really want to play for the system. I know the Silent Hill stuff. I know that the Silent Hill stuff. But it looks like the Silent Hill 2 remake is coming out on Steam and I don't know if that's coming out. It's a simultaneous release or not.
Speaker 2:
Like, honestly, I was going to buy a.
Speaker 1:
PS5. I was going to buy a PS5 just for all the Silent Hill games, yeah we don't really know at this point. Well, the one Silent Hill like Telltale-style series game that comes out later this month. You can actually play that in your browser, I guess.
Speaker 2:
I didn't know that, but that's not a game.
Speaker 1:
That's more like a FMV, like choose your own adventure movie.
Speaker 4:
Sure, oh, I love those, they're so fun.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I'm trying to think of what's the PS5 killer app and everything has come to war. Horizon had a good game come out recently.
Speaker 2:
Horizon's good.
Speaker 1:
I didn't really like Ragnarok, but I'm among the few on that Because it's like Returnal. But that came out on PC now Go ahead, and you got to say it post. It's a podcast. Oh, I was just shaking my head because I saw the videos of that game and I was not impressed. Yeah, I'm just saying like Returnal was a big PS5 game. Yeah, it was like Miles Morales, but that's on PC now. Well, I guess that's the point. I guess that's the point I'm trying to make is like I've been disappointed, like I know, like it's really disappointing actually, because PlayStation 5, or PlayStation in general, has had some of my favorite games of all time. Now I don't play a lot of the games, but they've had some of my favorites and this whole generation. Like I've been trying to find an excuse to get a PlayStation 5 because my Xbox One X it's not even a series, it's just an Xbox One X. It's on its last legs up there and I need to replace it sometime. Yeah, and see, the thing that sucks is like Sony is great that they're now releasing their games on PC, but like I'm trying to think of PS5 and like all of the exclusives that are good are now on.
Speaker 4:
PC Well got. A war is a bet.
Speaker 1:
Like the Edge and Clank.
Speaker 2:
Is it on PC? Is it on a?
Speaker 1:
pick. Yes, yeah, rift Apart.
Speaker 2:
Is it really? Oh, okay, cool.
Speaker 1:
It's on PC now. Miles Morales, like the only one, is God of War and Last of Us Part 2, but Last of Us Part 2 is PS4.
Speaker 2:
I have to ask.
Speaker 1:
I have to ask just because I heard rumblings of them wanting to Naughty Dog, wanting to remaster Last of Us 2. Is that an actual, real fucking consideration? It's got to be, because Last of Us Part 1 came out on PC. They're not going to release, or they're not going to not release, part 2. So it's probably just waiting for HBO, would be my guess. Okay, I wonder if they're going to retcon some things in the game. No, because of the show. You don't think so. No, yeah.
Speaker 2:
I don't know.
Speaker 1:
They're going to die on the hill. That's a good they should. To be honest, they should, I agree. I agree, I because I well, I also don't mind what they did, so Agreed. I'm one of the few people who liked that game and I got a lot of YouTube comments Disagreeing.
Speaker 4:
I remember I remember, I remember. It was probably a fun day for you.
Speaker 1:
You have no idea. Hey, speaking of suggestive gaming, huge sponsor for the show, make sure you check out their Alan Wake review. It was an awesome video that you hit. It was voiced entirely by two people of bucket bites, that's right. So that is the most bucket bites what you need to know ever made. That is very much so. Yep, very much so, um, uh, so, going into that, uh, alan Wake, which is half of that video, was our game of the month for September. It was for September. What is our game of the month for October? I don't know, dom.
Speaker 4:
Dom. Our game of the month for October is high five rush.
Speaker 1:
High five, high five, rush.
Speaker 4:
Say wrong yeah. You definitely did.
Speaker 1:
I know High five, high five High five Hold on. I'm going to see if I can. High fidelity, high five rush.
Speaker 4:
High five.
Speaker 1:
Oh, there, it is High five rush, hey, man.
Speaker 2:
Very nice, very nice, very nice. Yes, I love it.
Speaker 1:
Uh. So yeah, like uh, dom, I think you're actually going to be leading the charge on this one. I'm going to try and push you to. Normally, for all of our game of the month we give it, we give away a copy, which, uh, we're not going to be doing this month. I'm going to I got to figure out how I want to do these in the future Um, but we're not giving away a copy this month, but there is always going to be a video or review-ish type thing where we explain our how we liked the game and what was, you know, just our experience with it. And I'm going to try to push Dom to do the whole fucking thing by himself.
Speaker 4:
Oh, oh, by myself.
Speaker 1:
I'm a big boy, I would love to see what he can do, so that would be great.
Speaker 4:
Um, overall, I can save this for later. I don't know too much about the game yet. It looks very beautiful. From what I've seen, I enjoy the art style.
Speaker 1:
Oh, so you haven't played it yet. Do you know what it is like? What the genre or general game style is.
Speaker 4:
Oh, I now know it's like a rhythm type game. Okay, he didn't know that before the show today Post-explained it as a like soul's like time to think it's like a rhythm?
Speaker 1:
Well, no, it's. It's a rhythm based action game, and the way A rhythm based action platformer is what I would call it. Okay.
Speaker 2:
There's a lot of platforming.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, so my reference to it being a quote unquote souls like was that there's never played a souls game? And no, no, there's. So you go around defeating enemies in the main areas and then there's bosses and you go to fight the ball and that's, that's pretty much it. That's pretty much it. That makes it a souls game. Yes, there's bosses. It's a soul, it's a game. Yep, yep, all right, 100% almost like Elden Ring. Yeah, anybody who listens to bucket bites just remember that. Write that in your notepad for now Like post thinks any game with a boss is a souls like I mean remember there's a lot of bosses in that game Are there. Did you beat it, josh? I did not beat it, I got pretty close though. Okay.
Speaker 4:
Okay.
Speaker 1:
I mean, I guess that would be like calling ratchet and clank a souls like.
Speaker 2:
Exactly, yeah, okay, that's, that's fair, that's that's entirely fair Okay.
Speaker 1:
Dude, I was just saying to you it's my favorite souls like oh Josh. Question for you from one of our viewers of the show Is there like a Super Mario, like souls, like type game at all? A Super Mario? Yeah, I think of Mario, but like souls like, is there anything like that?
Speaker 3:
out there that you can think of.
Speaker 1:
Christ. Um, no, not that I can think of Can you say Mario, no, not even. That's RPG.
Speaker 3:
Um Odyssey, Mario Odyssey maybe Do you want to explain what Souls is First.
Speaker 1:
Well, clearly I don't know, so I can't explain this.
Speaker 4:
Wait, do I need to explain it?
Speaker 1:
Yes, I would love to see Dom Tortolini explain Souls-like Go ahead.
Speaker 4:
Basically, a Souls-like is you die, you leave a mark. You check his head already. I'm already fucking up, now go ahead. So in my view, a Souls-like is basically a, usually a harder game, for he's just known to everything what a dick. I think it's usually a harder game to peep and it takes a lot of learning into the learning curve and when you die it like leaves an impact on the game, like you have to go back to where you died at to pick up your remains type of shit.
Speaker 1:
Um. So the problem is, souls-like has become a very abstract term, but essentially what it means is it's a third-person action-adventure game where every enemy requires um, like a Strategy, yes, like you have to strategically.
Speaker 4:
Approach every enemy differently.
Speaker 1:
Go ahead, dom. I'm just helping you out. No, you're doing it perfectly. That's why. No, you have to strategically like, encounter every enemy. And it's a like, there's usually a Z-targeting type system, okay, um, and you dodge around and essentially it's Dom, you weren't far off where, like, it's difficult. But because it's a slow-paced kind of methodical combat system where every enemy requires an encounter in and of itself, there's always a learning curve.
Speaker 3:
So that's almost like some of the bosses in Legend of Zelda right In the In their older ones, yes, Like uh, but like that's every enemy Ocarina of Time.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, but like imagine every enemy is Goma in Ocarina of Time and then expound on that.
Speaker 3:
Okay.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it's definitely not in High-Fy Rush. No, high-fy Rush is very fast-paced, like a Soul's Lake, is very slow, methodical. High-fy Rush is very Unbeat, very fast-paced and amazing. I love High-Fy.
Speaker 4:
Rush the name.
Speaker 1:
Uh, we haven't brought up MK1 yet and I just did that, so we don't have to actually talk about it.
Speaker 2:
Um.
Speaker 1:
Oh, we were talking about what, uh Like Elden Ring and what a Soul's Lake kind of game is. Um it's not for everybody. It's not for everybody, right, but do you Definitely not? Do you guys know what else is not for everybody, what Rogue Rogue likes? Oh, I know of people out there who are vigorously against these style of games. I think they're kind of fun, but in I could never finish one. Um, josh, before the show I saw you booted up Hades. Yes, I mean I'm so what's up, man, I know you. You are like the biggest anti-Rogue-like out there. So I have literally gone on Twitter and almost gotten banned based off telling people if they like Rogue-likes, they should um, I don't know die in fires. Um, so Rogue likes right, it's become the big new thing for a couple years now, probably. Right? Um, and I liked binding of Isaac back in the day. Okay, I don't know if anybody played it. I have not.
Speaker 4:
I've not. I've heard of it.
Speaker 1:
Oh you should try it. It's actually good. So I played Binding of Isaac and I liked it. It's a Rogue-like and it's, you know, my main. Go ahead.
Speaker 4:
There's a lot of freedom in that game as well.
Speaker 1:
Yes and um. My problem with Rogue-likes is that it's all random. Like every run you start is all random. It's based off of whether or not you get the right perks or buffs or whatever to start the game. And it's been a big problem of mine. So when Hades was getting a bunch of um like Game of the Year awards and all kinds of praise, I was playing it and I just didn't like it Like. I was like yeah, I get it, I'm playing the game, I'll get to this boss and I'll die. And then I'll get to this boss and I'll die. And I'll get to this boss and I'll die. And I'll get to this boss and I'll beat it, but then I'll get to the next boss and I'll die. Like I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all. It felt like a waste of time. So recently with my Steam Deck, I was sitting down and I'm like unfortunately, rogue-likes are like the perfect use case for the Steam Deck. Sure, like sitting in bed, like I just want to play something real quick and then I'll go to bed. Rogue-likes are like perfect for that. So I started with uh, binding of Isaac again and I was doing like tons and tons of runs over and over again and I spent like six hours like over the course of a week in bed, like before I went to bed, so you know like an hour a night and I was like all right, maybe it's time for Hades again. So, post, did you play Hades?
Speaker 4:
I did I did not play Hades.
Speaker 1:
But what did you think? I enjoyed it, I thought it was fun, but I don't love this. I don't love the Rogue-likes, but I enjoy them enough to at least play them for a few hours, to never play them again. But I'm like that with every game though. So yeah, you can ask Dom. Dom shakes his head. Oh, okay.
Speaker 4:
I never played Hades, but I have. My favorite Rogue-likes is Hollow Knight. Okay, I think you should try Hollow Knight, Josh. There's a lot of things in that game that shine Is Hollow Knight a Rogue-like.
Speaker 1:
Oh, I thought it was just like a platformer.
Speaker 4:
No, it's a platforming Rogue-like. I would say, yeah, all right, and that game is very beautiful.
Speaker 1:
It's the story that you get behind my daughter enjoys.
Speaker 4:
Second, the music is fantastic in that game, I think.
Speaker 1:
I'll try it. I didn't know it was a Rogue-like. I thought it was just a straight platformer.
Speaker 4:
And I think if you were to play it in bed you might fall asleep to it because the music in some parts is very soothing and calming. I'll try it. That's one of my favorite Rogue-likes ever.
Speaker 1:
But I will say going back and approaching Hades from a different mindset, because my main problem is playing Rogue-likes with the intent in beating them. Like that's a problem, Sure, so like I've been going back and just playing them, to play them, and I hate to say it, but I know appreciation. I've been having a lot of fucking fun. So there's a thing I don't know if you've talked about it on the show, but it's the Picard Flip-flop. Yeah, oh, classic, like the classic Picard Flip-flop where I love a game, then hate it or vice versa. I don't think I'm flip-flopping on Hades yet, but you're close, but I get it. It's T3. I get it, yes, so for like the next couple weeks I'll talk about Rogue-likes and I'm trying I'm literally trying to completely free my mind and go in from a blank mindset and so far Hades is okay and we'll see.
Speaker 4:
So for you are you looking for like the exploration for Rogue-like, or like the freedom of exploring the area. Is that what you're into?
Speaker 1:
I don't know. I don't know, oh, is it Because I never liked anything about Rogue-likes before, because it all seems so random and it's like, well, I don't care if it's random, like if it's a different game, like I'm so into games, and this is where it goes back to like Souls-likes, where, like I'm so into games that are really well-designed, like each encounter is well-designed until the very end, like I love that kind of thing. But Rogue-likes it's all random because it's based on whatever buffs or you know, whatever you roll in your run.
Speaker 4:
So I think you would like how a night a lot then, because it's very, it's linear, I think, all the abilities you can get here in there, but it won't affect your game Extremely to the point where it's like, if you don't have this, what are you doing with your life? Sure.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it's, it's more of a rogue light.
Speaker 2:
With a T, that is, with a K.
Speaker 1:
So Exploration so maybe, yeah, maybe, once I get kind of sick of Hades, all pop into Hollow Knight, because that does sound interesting, but I don't know like I'm. So once I get sick of of Hades, I planned on going into Returnal again, so I'll give my reaction on that, but okay, I don't know. Like I think, and the reason I Wanted to bring this up is like I hate these games. I hate them like just in like from a fundamental standpoint. But if you take a step back and you Take it for what it is, like each run is just a fun experience and then the next one is another fun experience, I feel I want to shut a tear. Right now. I and this is what I was hoping for with this discussion like I'm I'm really fucking trying to like take a step back and Enjoy it for what it is. And I'm not gonna lie like I was enjoying Isaac, like I would get really fucking far and then die and then, like we're normally, I'd throw my fucking controller against the wall. I'd be like, fuck this, I'm never touching this again. I'd be like all right, let's. Yeah exactly so it's. It's great. This is the biggest Josh growth moment.
Speaker 2:
I've seen in my entire life.
Speaker 1:
And that's saying something. Right, that, that's. That's saying something. This is, this is big actually.
Speaker 4:
This is this episode. He's gonna say see who's a good game.
Speaker 1:
Don't even get me started. I don't know. I look we'll get there maybe two years from now. Baby steps.
Speaker 2:
Baby steps of course.
Speaker 1:
So yes, um, yeah, no, that makes me happy that you you recognize why I'm bringing this right. It's like all right.
Speaker 2:
This is amazing. I am so happy.
Speaker 1:
Yes. So for all of you out there who who played these types of games and expect like to reach the end, like I don't know, it's a Part of it is realizing you're not going to beat the game. It's just Right. Fun is playing the game, right Right. Well, there is an end to these games, but that's not the focus. The focus is enjoying the game you're playing. It's the friends we made along the way exactly. Yes, no, this is actually really big, Josh, and I'm very Proud of you actually. Thank you, I remember I remember having a conversation with Profi, old co-host of bucket bites, who Profi place, you know. Oh, yeah, you know, you know I'm talking about he. We had a discussion one time Because you were shooting on Hades and after we enjoyed it so much and I'm like I Remembered saying to him I'm like I wish Josh would just like play games to have fun rather than Like just try to. You know, get through it right and we talked about that a little bit and I and now it's like it's here and it's, it's a huge, it's a huge growth moment and I'm really, I'm really proud of you. That's awesome and that's what I want to bring the audience into. It's like, if you don't enjoy these types of games, just Slow down, you know, take a step back and just enjoy the ride right, like it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. Yeah, it it very much is Very much is good job, josh.
Speaker 4:
Thank you, I feel good. I'm proud of Josh.
Speaker 1:
In other feel-good news Logan should be I hope Logan's proud of me. I've, I've graduated from the countdown of five To just fucking doing it.
Speaker 4:
Oh.
Speaker 1:
I've learned the lesson is to just fucking do it. And I did the count to count down from five thing. It's the. The thing is, is the mindset you just you got to do it, and Then you just count to five as you're going to do it, like, and then I just kind of graduated to like I'm just fucking doing it, it's you got to do what you got to do. So, logan, I kind of told you that before today, but yeah.
Speaker 3:
Feel proud of me man. Yeah, yeah, it's a good step, good first step.
Speaker 4:
John Pooms. So what are you guys?
Speaker 1:
we're all supposed to be trying this shit, oh.
Speaker 4:
You know I've been doing a homework. Recently I forced myself to buy Access to my homework. So that was fun. Wait what? Yeah, I had to buy my homework Access all of my homework I have to have to buy a like a key to access the homework.
Speaker 1:
Is it the the key to the books that you need?
Speaker 4:
Key to the labs of the book. You get a buy the book separate and then you buy the labs to the book.
Speaker 1:
I'm so glad I didn't go to college after 2010, apparently, jesus, that's insane.
Speaker 4:
I was, I was lucky, it was $62 and I was like fuck, I gotta fucking buy this shit.
Speaker 2:
Then I counted down.
Speaker 4:
I like wrote down my information I.
Speaker 1:
Love how like we're like trying to better ourselves with it and I'm just like I'm gonna count down to spending my money. I have four, three, two, all right, fine, fucking fucking fuck. Just a recap from it was we were doing some really cool mental health segments with Logan Over the last couple months and one of the things was you know, if you got something you got to do, more often than not you talk yourself out of doing it within the first five seconds. So when we first did this, all of us I'm pretty sure did it wrong. We were just like I don't want to do this. Five, four, three, two, one. Fuck, I still don't want to do this. And that was the wrong way to approach it. It was, fuck, I got to do this, okay, I'm doing it.
Speaker 3:
And Then just go on the launch. Yep, yes, there's no other option.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, five, four three, two, one here we go is yeah. So that, logan, that's that's. That's great. That's great because I use that on the almost the daily now and I'm getting better at it.
Speaker 3:
Right cuz, yeah, it's tough, it's tough it. You're never gonna be a hundred percent perfect on it, but it's just. You'll get better each time you do it.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I.
Speaker 3:
Agree, I failed at it, you know, recently on on something, but it was once. You know. It's like just not trying to make a habit of it.
Speaker 1:
So sure oh it happens, right, like sometimes we're just fucking tired, or there's there's reasons, right, there's always reasons, not to do something right.
Speaker 3:
We're human, so we're human so do you have any?
Speaker 1:
not to put you on the spot, but do you have any good life lessons for us today? Nope, that's very next week?
Speaker 3:
Maybe next week, but or the following, the following yeah, no episode next week.
Speaker 1:
I do want to give a shout out to Dom. Happy birthday to Dom. Week yep, so Hopefully that was a good time, did you? Did you have some ice cream? Did you and your girlfriend have ice cream? Yes, surprise you ice with ice cream.
Speaker 2:
That's wonderful, mm-hmm.
Speaker 4:

Speaker 1:

Speaker 4:
Sure.
Speaker 1:
Okay, that's, that's, that's nice, that's a yes. That's a yes, so, and congratulations to Logan for undergoing a very interesting procedure.
Speaker 3:
So yeah, yeah, you can elaborate if you wish, but I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 1:
I got snipped. I will be in discussion because I'm trying to figure out how to go about it myself.
Speaker 3:
Are you? Oh, you just jump into it.
Speaker 1:
You do, yeah, but like what do you do? I've talked to like three different people I don't know how to do it. Wait doctors or people, people, okay, all I did was I made an appointment with my doctor because I'm having I'm getting this nippy-snippy on December 21st. Okay, can a mazel tov? Well, so Logan, can what? What do you mean? What? What are we talking about? Snippies?
Speaker 2:
Snippies, snippies.
Speaker 1:
Snipper and the best ever.
Speaker 4:
Yeah, where they chop your dick off.
Speaker 1:
Oh, you know yeah, yeah, they just take a fucking cleaver just do it, don't worry. Oh, you'll get there eventually.
Speaker 4:
Yeah, no, but.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, but no, so I literally it's just make an appointment with your doctor and he will send you a referral. Go ahead to a urologist.
Speaker 3:
Yes, yes, you're all just perfect. Yep under the same.
Speaker 1:
That's where I'm at. Yeah, they'll send through a referral and then trying to find the urologist yes. I'd like to find a mr Freeze, if you know what oh. Can I please? Okay, so Logan just had his his procedure done, right. I just had my first Consultate well, the only consultation before the surgery. I just want to share my experience. So I go and I have to fill out the new patients thing. Of course it's a very generic form that says what are your, what are your, what brings you here, what are your problems and what are your symptoms. And mind what you know for the symptoms I'm like able to have children. Yes, you know, of course, I'm sure they've seen this all a million times, right, right, sure, but yeah, I had to write that. And then like good, it's a good response yeah Well, I had fun with it. I didn't take a picture of it, but sure, um. So I go into the consultation and I'm sitting there and immediately this, this lady, follows us. It follows me in and like, oh crap, I'm gonna have a freaking woman doctor for this. She's snipping my nuts, right? Well, she was just there to you know. Verify, she's just the nurse. Wait five minutes. This guy comes in fucking tall as hell, probably like 50, 60, definitely military, talking like James Earl Jones, just talking to me like a straight Chad. Like he's like, yeah, bro, we're gonna sit there and like we're gonna know me up a little bit, and now I'm gonna, we're gonna talk sports while I go snipping away and like this guy clearly is just trying to make me feel like a dude and like, as mainly as I could possibly be. It was just. It was like this dude's voice was so deep I felt like I was talking to James Earl Jones.
Speaker 2:
Oh.
Speaker 1:
But so what? But it's funny because Logan our boss, while your ex boss Cuz you. Let me it happened today?
Speaker 3:
It happened today, you can say ex boss, my current boss, technically whatever anyways.
Speaker 1:
Anyways, he had a female doctor and I remember he told us about how embarrassed he was that Some chick had to go down there and, like, play around with his, his willow wang, you know, and stuff. So. So I will end up having a male doctor who snippy, snippy, snippy, snippy's me.
Speaker 3:
So he'll have a male doctor probably doing the procedure. Then you got two.
Speaker 1:
Yes, well, it's gonna be him. He told me it's gonna be him. Yeah, the male doctor does this, does the snip, that's you know, it's fine.
Speaker 4:
Yeah yeah, I think I'm too immature.
Speaker 1:
Like staring in the eyes like it's gonna be me bro. No, you're not immature, because that's exactly the same kind of shit, like the same kind of joke. I was like thinking and making in my head like this dude's gonna fucking look me in the eyes. Well, I'm fucking just numb, waist down or whatever. But, logan, I would love to hear your experience of your snippy. Snippy, please.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, so at least for mine, cuz yours, your guy, sounds like it's a little bit different. But the first time when I went to get it done in April Because they they give you those pamphlets and I'm a guy, yeah, I'm gonna read a fucking pamphlet, right, I'm just going to get snipped, whatever. So that was my attitude. You know, I went in, was sitting in the chair, the nurses at her little laptop computer asking me different questions before I like changed into my surgical gown or whatever the hell they do. And One of the questions she's like, oh, did you have anything to your drink this morning? I think she started off with the eat. I was like, yeah, no, I didn't eat anything, because I don't eat breakfast. And she's like, oh, have you had anything to drink? I was like, yeah, I had coffee. And she's like, oh, black coffee. I was like, no, I had creamer in it. And then her eyes lit up and she's like, how long ago was that? I was like, I don't know, maybe like Two hours ago.
Speaker 1:
Oh, sorry, yeah, two hours ago, or something like that.
Speaker 3:
And she's like I'll have to talk to the doctor. But like, just, do the fact that you had Creamer in your coffee that creamers technically considered, at least in the medical field, as a solid, not a liquid? So I was like, okay, well, what does that mean? And they were like, well, yeah, it could cause risks for the anesthesiologist, for their stuff, what they plan on doing. I was like, okay, they didn't. They didn't explain to me like fast forward, now that I got it done, I know now, because they actually gave me a cocktail in my IV that like basically makes me almost drunk. Like so I'm like super, super relaxed, like just on the brink of passing out and, surprisingly, I have two kids. I fell asleep, so I actually slept through the entire procedure, which was glorious. So, but anyways, I and I'm getting discharged the first time around, somehow they managed to miss Like letting people know between my insurance and back, yada, yada, back and forth. So they thought I still have the procedure. So I got charged for a procedure that never happened. I didn't pay it, but it took From April till basically almost now To sort that out. It's just a freaking nightmare, but yeah, so that was, that was my, that was my deal. Ryan, sounds like you. You're just getting numbed up, numbed up, going to talk about some sports and that's what this is as you sniff, yeah, whoo a snip, um, but yeah, I'll bet you, yours will be a little bit more Cheaper.
Speaker 1:
the fact that I fucking hope they're not going to be.
Speaker 3:
They're not going to be giving you a nice IV and whatnot.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I, I man. Yeah, your head says turned your head and Snip, ah, no, coughing Uh well it's fun. So it's funny, I always I laugh about this because, uh, so, logan, initially when he put his pto request in for this, he was just going to be out in the morning and then planned on working the second half of the day and look like you, you said you were like sleeping all day and then it took you how, like a couple days to like recover right.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, I mean they, they truly pushed like again. I didn't read the pamphlet, but they did tell me before I got discharged, like you need to be laying up Basically with your feet up in a bed or on a couch for two days, uh for sure, the first two days minimum. So you don't there's no risk of infection, because if you don't, it's really easy to get the infection, which your balls basically turn into softballs. Pay attention, dom. But yeah so um, it is a really important thing to Do what the doctor says and probably read the pamphlet.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, yeah, except for my pamphlet said everything opposite of your pamphlet. So who's pamphlet?
Speaker 3:
do you?
Speaker 1:
believe, I don't know.
Speaker 3:
It depends on the procedure that we, that we, figured out. Depending on what they do, they plan on giving you an IV.
Speaker 1:
That probably means you'll have to go on the stomach and if they just plan on numbing you.
Speaker 3:
It makes sense.
Speaker 1:
Well, there's multiple things that can do. They can either snip or just clip yeah, mine's being cauterized, yeah, that's what my doctor said. Well, there and and there's, there's even a different procedure than cauterizing it like they can literally just like, almost like a kink in a hose, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:
That's the one that's.
Speaker 1:
That's the one that's reversible. Allegedly right right right.
Speaker 3:
So I had the one where basically they would do the cauterize but they actually put in a very micro, small titanium Bar in between to help prevent oh what the?
Speaker 2:
fuck from from reattaching. Oh yeah, so it's. It's undetectable, like if you go.
Speaker 3:
If you go through a um, a metal detector won't go off or anything like that, but it's a very, very small.
Speaker 1:
Imagine if it did, like you go into pottawanami, what you got on there like, like what you said.
Speaker 3:
Sorry, I got a micro penis.
Speaker 1:
Sir, what do you have in your pants? Titanium balls? You don't want to know, sir.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, I literally put in a little titanium bar preventing it from reattaching, because it wants to? Yeah, of course to reattach, you know, um which? Yeah, it's a crazy concept.
Speaker 1:
So, josh, there's no plan, obviously no plans for kids. For you, then no?
Speaker 2:
I do not want to have a child ever in my life.
Speaker 1:
Yeah good for you. Yeah, good for you. Yeah, enjoy it. It's a lot less expensive. That's my plan. Yeah, I'm expensive enough. I don't need another one of me or multiple. I know how much I cost those, those fuckers are gonna cost way more, oh, yeah no, thank you. If let? Let me ask you this just because and you don't have to answer this if you don't want to- do, by the way official gearhead and chat also thought the same thing I thought, so I'm just letting it be known that he thought you're drinking a bottle of piss too. Um have you, but uh.
Speaker 3:
Uh, have you seen the classic vine where he's like not now, I'm drinking piss, and it then, like a three days grace, comes on and he's like chugging water or I'm making piss is what he says.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I'm making piss. Yeah, that's a classic huge.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, oh man that's a classic classic vine, but anyways, Uh gearhead that.
Speaker 1:
No, that's all right, I just I saw the word.
Speaker 3:
This is the remainder of mio Uh Water. It's orange and tangerine flavored. That's mio no water, so pee.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, Wow me own water getting, okay, uh, so, josh, um, um, so do you think at any point like so, let's say, years down the line? Your guys are just like you know what, maybe we should. Would you guys go down the line of adoption then? No, do you think so? Before I do anything, I'm trying to figure out how to freeze, oh okay. Oh, that's smart, that's smart.
Speaker 3:
Well, I definitely can touch on that, because I've got a.
Speaker 1:
Good bet. Touch on that.
Speaker 3:
A good buddy of mine from high school that him and his wife weren't able to have kids like the natural way, so they had to do the expensive implantation. So he had to have his shit frozen in order to do it, so his sperm or whatever. So he's gone down that road. I can ask him inquire on that and how he did it. But yeah, like, because sometimes the planting doesn't work and they only have so many of them frozen and it's a really expensive procedure for them because she's not able to do it. You know, the normal way. Yeah, so my plan is.
Speaker 1:
before I get anything done, surgically, I would like to Backup plan. Bank it, bank it somewhere, just in case.
Speaker 3:
I have absolutely oh, sorry, sorry, I was going to make it back to you.
Speaker 1:
I was going to say I'm in my mid-30s or reaching it and it's like I have no desire to have children. But if I were at some point, I'd like that possibility, but you know. Yeah, just go to the sperm bank, unload your suggesticles and Exactly you got it. Yeah, I'm sorry, I can't exist.
Speaker 2:
No.
Speaker 1:
I might have them like market. That link what?
Speaker 2:
Suggesticles.
Speaker 1:
Suggesticles Suggesticles stored here Yep, yep, but that's awesome.
Speaker 4:
You guys remember when you guys were two decades old.
Speaker 1:
Barely. Yeah, that was like 10, 13, 15, 25 years ago, I don't know Jesus.
Speaker 3:
Worst case, if you don't end up wanting them, you could problem-solve them for a pretty penny. All you have to say is I was unvaccinized.
Speaker 1:
Oh, dude, Like I could go off of my IQ. I could like.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, oh, yeah, oh.
Speaker 1:
I'm a YouTuber. Yeah, oh shit.
Speaker 4:
Like the red section of the paper the what. The what the red section of the paper. Well, I mean, like green flags and red flags, like being a YouTuber at red flags.
Speaker 1:
Oh Okay, no, that would be green flag, that would be 110% green flag, 110, really. So every YouTuber is a green flag. Yeah, you don't think Mr Beast is getting like prime, prime duckage for his Dude? What did my son tell me yesterday? He said something I'm like dude, like oh. He said um, I somehow the whole like conversation about like, oh well, we go to work to make money. It's the only reason we go to work is to make money. And he's like you go to work to make money and I'm like what the fuck? Why else would I go to work? Yeah, my son said that.
Speaker 4:
My son said that.
Speaker 1:
He's in that age.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:
So I'm like he's like yeah, but you can make money on YouTube. And I'm like, okay, how many people do you know personally that make money? Well, I said it, how many people do you know that? How many people do you know that make money on YouTube? And I'm like, no, it's like a crazy, like small amount. Like, yeah, you can make money on YouTube, dude. Like one of my favorite things ever is. My nephew is nine years old and he'll constantly be like do you know, mr Beast?
Speaker 4:
Like please tell me you said yes at least one time All the time.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, he's my best friend, that's the best he actually knew, his girlfriend when he was dating her from UWM.
Speaker 3:
You ever that chick from UWM oh?
Speaker 1:
man.
Speaker 3:
Really yeah.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, he was dating a girl I didn't know that, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:
Well, what was it? I didn't know that. I hope not.
Speaker 1:
I hope not. Well, you better send her back. Seriously, get some of that.
Speaker 3:
She was definitely a cloud hunter. You could tell, because as soon as they broke up. She moved to LA, dropped out of college, moved to LA, became an influencer and a model for social media. Like she was cloud hunting for sure.
Speaker 1:
But my favorite thing is like he'll ask me like have you ever met like a fan in person? I'll be like I can't leave the house. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:
Like I can't even get a knock about it, dude. That is so awesome, though, to be able to be able to even joke like that is like really cool.
Speaker 1:
It's my favorite thing ever, oh man.
Speaker 2:
That's fucking awesome dude.
Speaker 1:
That's awesome, that's great Shit. So Immortal in Chat wants to know have you ever actually run into somebody, a fan? I think you did at well, you heard somebody talking about suggestive gaming at Midwest Gaming Classic. If I remember right, yeah, I was wearing my SG sweatshirt and somebody, according to my fiance, who was with me, like somebody, said oh, suggestive gaming, I know them. That was it, my mom.
Speaker 4:
I was going to mention your mother because it's the core of your mom. Yeah, I mentioned this before. I don't want to go like oh, I know that.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, my mom wears SG stuff all the time. And somebody told her like, oh, suggestive gaming, I like them on YouTube. And she was like, yeah, it's my son. And they were like, oh, ok, whatever, like. And that was it. See you later, bro. Yeah, that was it. But no, I've never in person met although I don't know if I've told the story on the show but Chris, who used to do SG with me. We went to GameStop one day right before Kingdom Hearts 3 came out and they were talking about like oh, nobody knows the Kingdom Hearts story, like there's a YouTube video that tries to explain it. And then there was like 20 minute video and like Chris and I were looking at each other like that was me, but neither of us said anything. But that was about it. Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 4:
That was probably funny yeah.
Speaker 1:
You know, I feel like if you get involved like, for example, I had similar experiences in high school when I played football Like people would always be like all right.
Speaker 4:
post on greatest running back.
Speaker 1:
You know the city's ever seen. You know, obviously it's funny If you do stuff and you play sports and you do things to get yourselves out there, you'd be surprised that who takes notice of these things, no matter how small it might be, right? So like, don't be afraid to get into the game, don't be afraid to go out there and just try and do things, because you'll never know who's going to see you and then recognize you, or you know, just take notice in general.
Speaker 3:
So I think the internet's made everything feel a lot smaller than it really is, like obviously, I mean, if you end up posting stuff on TikTok or something and you go viral because you come out with something amazing, and the next thing you know you're just doing something small, and then it just takes off and then it's like, oh yeah, you're that person. It's like Sure, sure, whoa, I was just doing this for fun and all of a sudden now I'm a person that's true, that everyone seems to know.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, you never know, you never know.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, you never know.
Speaker 1:
You really don't. It's just I don't know. It's funny to me. So, you guys, I think there was one topic that I wanted to kind of bring up today, but I'm going to save it for our next episode, which we won't be live next week. We're taking a week off, but we will be weak. We will be weak. We will be live the week of the 27th, which is also the release date of Al on Wake 2. So I picked the wrong week to be off, but you know, that's okay. Oh, I thought it was going to fall. So we will see you guys on the 27th. And just to kind of give everyone's kind of that little bit of a heads up, we do have a guest. Our next scheduled guest is Jerome DK. He is going to be with us on November 10th, which is obviously a Friday, like always. He's also another author, illustrator, and he does some other fun things. If you've ever seen Nerf Wars on YouTube, they got like tens of millions of views. So he did those two a long time ago. So that'll be really cool to have him on and we'll be kind of we're going to be kind of taking an LOA for much of Thanksgiving and into early December, just kind of getting reloaded, hopefully bringing back some even better, greater content towards the end of the year. So I know Josh has tickled my ears with some things that might be coming. So, if you guys are good with everything else, dom, do you have something? Or were you just tickling your ears, tickling my ears? Excellent, well, if that's it, then I am Ryan Post. That's Josh, picard, logan, jacob and Dominic, just Dominic. We'll catch you on the next, on the flip flop, on the next time. Whatever you want to say, I don't know what the best way to say it is. So we'll see you later. Goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
Speaker 4:

Don't let Post manipulate you into saying booba, Don't do it. No, it's booba. It's not booba, it's booba, it's not like the T Like boba T. There's something about little balls down my throat.
Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:
Well, you've never had a problem with that before but the T is not that good, I just I can't do the tapioca balls man. Yeah, the tapioca balls are a problem. It's a weird texture.

Facebook gaming was like kind of, there was times I had like almost 10,000 people Dude Zuck was he was really pushing that and then he just gave up. Yeah, but I just felt like I don't know. I kind of felt like because no one would chat though, so you'd have like 10,000 eyes on you. But you'd have like nobody chatting. I don't know how real this actually is.
Speaker 4:
What the?
Speaker 2:

We've made one penny from whatever turbo is. I don't know what that is. Twitch turbo yeah, I think that's a oh. It's. Basically, if you subscribe to turbo, you don't get ads on any channel, right? That's what it was. That's depressing. It's like YouTube premium yeah, pretty much, which raised its price, by the way. Yep, I saw that. That was sad.
