02:06.000 --> 02:07.000 Slash, I'm sorry.

02:07.000 --> 02:08.000 Yeah.

02:08.000 --> 02:11.000 I was just gonna say, I don't know if that's congratulatory words.

02:11.000 --> 02:15.000 Well, for having to work, no, for needing to, you know, start making some money.

02:15.000 --> 02:17.000 That's good for the, good for that.

02:17.000 --> 02:18.000 Yeah.

02:18.000 --> 02:19.000 Money's overrated, dude.

02:19.000 --> 02:20.000 Yeah.

02:20.000 --> 02:22.000 I wish I didn't need it, man. That'd be cool.

02:22.000 --> 02:23.000 Me too.

02:23.000 --> 02:24.000 It's good to have a goal every day though.

02:24.000 --> 02:25.000 You know what I mean?

02:25.000 --> 02:27.000 It's good to have a place to go and-

02:27.000 --> 02:28.000 It is.

02:28.000 --> 02:29.000 I have a goal.

02:29.000 --> 02:32.000 My goal is to wake up every day.

02:32.000 --> 02:33.000 That's a good goal.

02:33.000 --> 02:35.000 That's all our goals, dude.

02:35.000 --> 02:38.000 So far, I am perfect.

02:38.000 --> 02:39.000 Well, maybe not.

02:39.000 --> 02:42.000 I think I slept through a couple of days, but-

02:42.000 --> 02:44.000 I know there's a couple days I slept through.

02:44.000 --> 02:45.000 Yeah.

02:45.000 --> 02:48.000 So yeah, that's it for me, man.

02:48.000 --> 02:50.000 Hung out with Scott the other day.

02:50.000 --> 02:53.000 Oh, you hang out with Scott where we're at.

02:53.000 --> 02:54.000 Yeah.

02:54.000 --> 02:56.000 We went to, what did we do? Top Gun in Puyallup.

02:57.000 --> 02:58.000 We did.

02:59.000 --> 03:00.000 Fun spot.

03:00.000 --> 03:01.000 I've been to Top Gun.

03:01.000 --> 03:05.000 It is a very cool spot to be because you're by the airport, right?

03:05.000 --> 03:06.000 Yes.

03:06.000 --> 03:08.000 Dude, it's right on the runway.

03:08.000 --> 03:09.000 It's like right on the runway.

03:09.000 --> 03:10.000 Yeah.

03:10.000 --> 03:11.000 It's right there.

03:11.000 --> 03:12.000 Nice.

03:12.000 --> 03:13.000 We got a couple concerts there.

03:13.000 --> 03:19.000 So it's not only good for brunches, but it's also good for evening entertainment also.

03:20.000 --> 03:21.000 We did breakfast.

03:22.000 --> 03:23.000 Oh, you did breakfast.

03:23.000 --> 03:23.000 Okay.

03:23.000 --> 03:24.000 I'm sorry.

03:24.000 --> 03:29.000 I had fucking, God damn it, biscuits and gravy and they were fantastic.

03:29.000 --> 03:30.000 I couldn't even finish them.

03:30.000 --> 03:31.000 What's the matter, Mike?

03:31.000 --> 03:32.000 Why are you laughing?

03:32.000 --> 03:33.000 I got one of the scrambles.

03:33.000 --> 03:34.000 I wasn't laughing.

03:34.000 --> 03:35.000 I was envious.

03:35.000 --> 03:36.000 I was giving you the Homer moan.

03:36.000 --> 03:38.000 I love biscuits and gravy.

03:38.000 --> 03:39.000 Me too, man.

03:39.000 --> 03:40.000 It's the best.

03:40.000 --> 03:41.000 Sorry.

03:41.000 --> 03:42.000 What did you say, Ceno?

03:42.000 --> 03:44.000 Oh, I said I had some sort of scramble.

03:44.000 --> 03:48.000 I don't remember which one I grabbed, but it was awesome.

03:48.000 --> 03:49.000 Yeah, it was good.

03:49.000 --> 03:50.000 I did it perfectly, man.

03:50.000 --> 03:53.000 Um, apparently the airport's been closed for what she, what'd she say?

03:53.000 --> 03:54.000 Like a couple months.

03:54.000 --> 03:55.000 Yeah.

03:55.000 --> 03:56.000 A couple months.

03:56.000 --> 03:57.000 Good.

03:57.000 --> 03:58.000 They've been, they were paving everything.

03:58.000 --> 03:59.000 So no, like there's no airplane.

03:59.000 --> 04:01.000 She's like, it's just been dead.

04:01.000 --> 04:02.000 Just dead.

04:02.000 --> 04:03.000 What the heck?

04:03.000 --> 04:04.000 Yeah.

04:04.000 --> 04:07.000 Well, they had to, um, repave the runway.

04:07.000 --> 04:08.000 Oh yeah.

04:08.000 --> 04:13.000 So, but, um, they were finished and they had, we had live planes when we were there and

04:13.000 --> 04:14.000 the weather was nice.

04:14.000 --> 04:15.000 Yeah.

04:15.000 --> 04:16.000 We sat outside.

04:16.000 --> 04:17.000 Sat outside.

04:17.000 --> 04:18.000 It was great.

04:18.000 --> 04:19.000 I drank.

04:19.000 --> 04:20.000 It was, it was awesome.

04:21.000 --> 04:22.000 I know.

04:22.000 --> 04:24.000 It's a great, it's a great place.

04:24.000 --> 04:26.000 I live around the corner from that place.

04:26.000 --> 04:29.000 I'm going to have to, me and me and my wife are always like, Hey, you want to go there?

04:29.000 --> 04:32.000 Uh, maybe, you know, you were invited, Jeff.

04:32.000 --> 04:33.000 I invited you.

04:33.000 --> 04:34.000 You were.

04:34.000 --> 04:35.000 No, you did.

04:35.000 --> 04:36.000 Yeah.

04:36.000 --> 04:37.000 But still again, I'm, I'm.

04:37.000 --> 04:38.000 Tell everybody.

04:38.000 --> 04:39.000 So I don't get hate emails.

04:39.000 --> 04:40.000 There we go.

04:40.000 --> 04:41.000 Fuck dicks.

04:41.000 --> 04:42.000 Yeah.

04:42.000 --> 04:43.000 Because he's got the plague.

04:43.000 --> 04:45.000 Um, yeah.

04:45.000 --> 04:49.000 Being around, uh, uh, people's probably not a good idea.

04:49.000 --> 04:54.000 Uh, so Chansey, uh, we saw some pictures of you on a mountain.

04:54.000 --> 05:01.000 Uh, uh, I don't, I know that's probably wasn't this week, but, uh, can you tell me about,

05:01.000 --> 05:02.000 I think you're on.

05:02.000 --> 05:03.000 I think you're on.

05:03.000 --> 05:04.000 When was that?

05:04.000 --> 05:05.000 It was a few weeks ago.

05:05.000 --> 05:06.000 I went to Mount Rainier.

05:06.000 --> 05:07.000 Mount Rainier.

05:07.000 --> 05:08.000 Okay.

05:08.000 --> 05:09.000 Yep.

05:09.000 --> 05:12.000 I went up by myself one day and, uh, I did the skyline loop.

05:12.000 --> 05:14.000 Um, so that was pretty cool.

05:14.000 --> 05:15.000 Pretty tough.

05:15.000 --> 05:16.000 But yeah.

05:16.000 --> 05:18.000 So I spent the day on the mountain.

05:18.000 --> 05:19.000 All right.

05:19.000 --> 05:23.000 Did you see anything weird that you could say like, uh, oh, that's fucking weird.

05:23.000 --> 05:24.000 No, nothing weird.

05:24.000 --> 05:25.000 I saw a mountain goat.

05:25.000 --> 05:30.000 Um, that was probably like the coolest animal, you know, everybody was talking about that.

05:30.000 --> 05:33.000 You just, you pull in and big signs, you know, bears are present.

05:33.000 --> 05:34.000 And I'm like, oh my God.

05:34.000 --> 05:36.000 Um, they're a president.

05:36.000 --> 05:38.000 Does that mean you can just take them home for free?

05:38.000 --> 05:39.000 Yeah.

05:39.000 --> 05:40.000 They're definitely.

05:40.000 --> 05:41.000 Yeah.

05:41.000 --> 05:42.000 If you want to try.

05:42.000 --> 05:43.000 Yep.

05:43.000 --> 05:48.000 Uh, I was surprised to see the mountain was so, uh, bare of snow.

05:48.000 --> 05:52.000 Um, and like, and like Nisqually glacier.

05:52.000 --> 05:53.000 What's that?

05:53.000 --> 05:56.000 That's the glacier on the mountain in Nisqually.

05:56.000 --> 05:57.000 Which is gone.

05:57.000 --> 05:58.000 It does like.

05:58.000 --> 05:59.000 Oh, oh, there's not.

05:59.000 --> 06:00.000 Nothing left.

06:00.000 --> 06:01.000 Right.

06:01.000 --> 06:03.000 But they didn't take the signs down though.

06:03.000 --> 06:04.000 Right?

06:04.000 --> 06:05.000 No, it's still there.

06:05.000 --> 06:08.000 And obviously there's still stuff up there, but it's just so wild to see.

06:08.000 --> 06:09.000 It might come back.

06:09.000 --> 06:10.000 You never know.

06:10.000 --> 06:11.000 It might.

06:11.000 --> 06:12.000 Yeah, it should.

06:12.000 --> 06:13.000 That's not how that works.

06:13.000 --> 06:14.000 Oh, I gotcha.

06:14.000 --> 06:15.000 I gotcha.

06:15.000 --> 06:17.000 I was a little slow on the uptake there.

06:17.000 --> 06:18.000 Man, that's awesome.

06:18.000 --> 06:19.000 Um, so we do.

06:19.000 --> 06:22.000 Would you recommend it to your friends and family?

06:22.000 --> 06:25.000 Uh, always recommend the mountain.

06:25.000 --> 06:26.000 Yeah.

06:26.000 --> 06:27.000 That, that, that loop.

06:27.000 --> 06:28.000 I don't know.

06:28.000 --> 06:29.000 I don't know.

06:29.000 --> 06:31.000 But, um, no, I'm a glamper.

06:31.000 --> 06:33.000 I'm like a capital G glamper.

06:33.000 --> 06:41.000 And I, I, I, and, uh, so on a level of like one, one, one to 10, what would you say?

06:41.000 --> 06:47.000 Uh, athletic ability, just normal ability for, for people, what to expect?

06:47.000 --> 06:54.000 Uh, so going up to the mountain, you could drive up to the top to paradise and you could walk around.

06:54.000 --> 06:56.000 It gets a little steep at the beginning.

06:56.000 --> 06:58.000 Um, the route I did, I don't know.

06:58.000 --> 06:59.000 They say it's hard.

06:59.000 --> 07:06.000 I, I mean, you're a young, healthy spry, uh, something like that.

07:06.000 --> 07:07.000 Yeah.

07:07.000 --> 07:09.000 So, so yeah, you, you could do it.

07:09.000 --> 07:10.000 Yeah.

07:10.000 --> 07:11.000 Um, it's doable.

07:11.000 --> 07:12.000 It took me hours.

07:12.000 --> 07:14.000 I mean, it took me, I don't know.

07:14.000 --> 07:16.000 I was up there for like five hours.

07:16.000 --> 07:17.000 Okay.

07:17.000 --> 07:18.000 So it's an all day thing.

07:18.000 --> 07:23.000 And I, you know, I stopped at eight lunch and, you know, so many pictures I took.

07:23.000 --> 07:25.000 So, you know, how much that stop and just whatever.

07:25.000 --> 07:26.000 Right.

07:26.000 --> 07:27.000 Right.

07:27.000 --> 07:27.000 Okay.

07:27.000 --> 07:28.000 It was tough.

07:28.000 --> 07:29.000 It was tough, but doable.

07:29.000 --> 07:30.000 I don't remember.

07:30.000 --> 07:32.000 I don't have, I didn't look it up to see how many miles it was.

07:32.000 --> 07:35.000 I think about eight miles, something like that.

07:35.000 --> 07:36.000 Nice.

07:36.000 --> 07:42.000 Um, yeah, I, I think it's one of the jewels, of course, you know, you can't miss it.

07:42.000 --> 07:43.000 It's a mountain.

07:43.000 --> 07:47.000 Um, but to me, when I think about that, I always think about the ruggedness.

07:47.000 --> 07:52.000 Me and me and Scott used to work for people that when they do Mount Rainier, they do it

07:52.000 --> 07:57.000 in the middle of winter and they go up the side that there's, you know, straight up.

07:57.000 --> 08:01.000 And those are the people that make documentaries about cause they die.

08:01.000 --> 08:02.000 Yeah.

08:02.000 --> 08:07.000 And I remember the speech she gave me, like I was even going to be willing to say, Oh,

08:07.000 --> 08:09.000 well that sounds like something I want to do.

08:09.000 --> 08:10.000 No, you don't.

08:10.000 --> 08:11.000 Yeah.

08:11.000 --> 08:12.000 Yeah.

08:12.000 --> 08:16.000 If you, if you come with us, if, if so-and-so says, stop, you stop.

08:16.000 --> 08:19.000 He's the king commander and God on this trip.

08:19.000 --> 08:21.000 I was like, Holy shit.

08:21.000 --> 08:22.000 What are we doing here?

08:22.000 --> 08:25.000 So I'm very, so that's when you say, Hey, I'm going up Mount Rainier.

08:25.000 --> 08:27.000 I'm like, Holy shit.

08:27.000 --> 08:31.000 Uh, so I'm really glad to see there's a lot more.

08:31.000 --> 08:34.000 Hey, you can go up on a nice sunny day.

08:34.000 --> 08:35.000 Oh yeah.

08:35.000 --> 08:38.000 Take pictures of some mountain goats and eat your lunch and be home by dinner time.

08:38.000 --> 08:39.000 And eat your lunch.

08:39.000 --> 08:40.000 Yep.

08:40.000 --> 08:41.000 Be home by dinner for sure.

08:41.000 --> 08:46.000 Uh, Jeff's just waiting for a chance to club her on the head with the fucking rock and eat her.

08:46.000 --> 08:48.000 He's all, fuck you.

08:48.000 --> 08:49.000 Yeah.

08:49.000 --> 08:50.000 I watch those movies.

08:50.000 --> 08:54.000 You don't get in trouble if you're lost in the, in the, in the middle of nowhere and you eat somebody.

08:54.000 --> 08:55.000 Yeah.

08:55.000 --> 08:56.000 That's right.

08:56.000 --> 08:57.000 Oh, they'd eat.

08:57.000 --> 08:58.000 Yeah.

08:58.000 --> 08:59.000 They'd eat you.

08:59.000 --> 09:00.000 Okay.

09:00.000 --> 09:01.000 Here's the, Oh, in a heartbeat, they would eat you.

09:01.000 --> 09:02.000 You would be, we would be the first ones on the list.

09:02.000 --> 09:04.000 They would have been, they would eat us at work.

09:04.000 --> 09:05.000 Yeah.

09:05.000 --> 09:06.000 Like we couldn't get out of that building.

09:06.000 --> 09:09.000 I'm pretty sure it would go lockdown and we'd been food.

09:09.000 --> 09:10.000 Dude.

09:10.000 --> 09:10.000 Yeah.

09:10.000 --> 09:11.000 They were psychopaths.

09:11.000 --> 09:15.000 They had like the runners, you know, the numbers, like whatever.

09:15.000 --> 09:18.000 I don't know what the fucking, what are the numbers, Jeff?

09:20.000 --> 09:23.000 For like, uh, what's a, uh, a marathon?

09:23.000 --> 09:24.000 Is it 21?

09:24.000 --> 09:28.000 Oh, he's talking like the marathon, half marathon and all that.

09:28.000 --> 09:29.000 Yeah.

09:29.000 --> 09:29.000 Yeah.

09:29.000 --> 09:30.000 Yeah.

09:30.000 --> 09:34.000 They would have all these circle numbers on their cars for all the marathons they ran.

09:34.000 --> 09:35.000 Right.

09:35.000 --> 09:35.000 Yeah.

09:35.000 --> 09:36.000 Yeah.

09:37.000 --> 09:38.000 Yeah.

09:38.000 --> 09:39.000 They were all about it.

09:39.000 --> 09:41.000 Like, but yeah, they took it to the extreme.

09:41.000 --> 09:42.000 How many did they have?

09:42.000 --> 09:43.000 They were crazy, man.

09:43.000 --> 09:44.000 Oh yeah.

09:44.000 --> 09:45.000 Oh yeah.

09:45.000 --> 09:46.000 I worked on the artwork.

09:46.000 --> 09:46.000 Yeah.

09:46.000 --> 09:47.000 They had one for every season.

09:47.000 --> 09:50.000 They, they didn't miss a chance to run.

09:50.000 --> 09:57.000 So it's 3.1 miles or 5k, 6.2 miles or 10k, 13.1 miles or 21.1 kilometers.

09:57.000 --> 09:58.000 Yeah.

09:58.000 --> 10:02.000 So they'd have the 13.1 like circle things and, and 21 point whatever.

10:02.000 --> 10:05.000 26.2 miles for a full marathon.

10:05.000 --> 10:06.000 Yes.

10:06.000 --> 10:07.000 Yes.

10:07.000 --> 10:08.000 Fuck that.

10:14.000 --> 10:15.000 Yeah.

10:15.000 --> 10:18.000 And I'm not saying the sport itself or the activity itself is evil.

10:18.000 --> 10:24.000 These people just took it to an extreme that I haven't, that I don't care for.

10:24.000 --> 10:25.000 Yeah.

10:25.000 --> 10:27.000 People that love to run, love to run, man.

10:27.000 --> 10:28.000 Yeah.

10:28.000 --> 10:29.000 Yeah.

10:29.000 --> 10:32.000 Cause I met my wife, she does marathons.

10:35.000 --> 10:36.000 come back.

10:37.000 --> 10:38.000 No, tell it like it is.

10:38.000 --> 10:39.000 Well, no.

10:39.000 --> 10:40.000 Those people are crazy.

10:40.000 --> 10:41.000 Marathons.

10:41.000 --> 10:42.000 I do marathons.

10:42.000 --> 10:46.000 I do marathons, but they involve Netflix and my couch.

10:46.000 --> 10:47.000 Yeah.

10:47.000 --> 10:48.000 Exactly.

10:48.000 --> 10:51.000 Have you guys heard of the sound to narrows?

10:51.000 --> 10:56.000 The one they do like through, I think it's like UP and whatnot.

10:56.000 --> 10:57.000 Yeah.

10:57.000 --> 10:58.000 Yeah.

10:58.000 --> 10:59.000 Sounds to narrows.

10:59.000 --> 11:00.000 That should be pretty easy.

11:00.000 --> 11:01.000 We're the guys that know that.

11:01.000 --> 11:02.000 Well, I'm sure you've heard of it.

11:02.000 --> 11:03.000 We've never heard of this, dude.

11:03.000 --> 11:04.000 No.

11:04.000 --> 11:07.000 I did that in the fourth grade and I was in a running club.

11:07.000 --> 11:12.000 And so I did the half marathon and that's the day I learned that I don't like running.

11:12.000 --> 11:13.000 In the fourth grade?

11:13.000 --> 11:14.000 Yeah.

11:14.000 --> 11:15.000 I was in this running club, man.

11:15.000 --> 11:16.000 You guys are evil.

11:16.000 --> 11:18.000 I wanted to do it and I did it.

11:18.000 --> 11:22.000 I went all the way through and I said, I'll never, the only way I'll run is if I'm playing

11:22.000 --> 11:23.000 football, baseball.

11:23.000 --> 11:25.000 Hey, you know what?

11:25.000 --> 11:29.000 That is awesome because you found out that you didn't want to do that.

11:29.000 --> 11:30.000 That's the same thing.

11:30.000 --> 11:35.000 I had an instructor in sub school that said he sucks a dick every 10 years to make sure

11:35.000 --> 11:41.000 he doesn't like it because he would hate to be like on his deathbed, like in a vegetative

11:41.000 --> 11:44.000 state and have some like weird orderly.

11:44.000 --> 11:48.000 I realized, man, I missed out on sucking dick for my whole life and I liked it.

11:48.000 --> 11:49.000 Right?

11:49.000 --> 11:50.000 That's terrible.

11:50.000 --> 11:51.000 Same thing.

11:51.000 --> 11:52.000 Sorry.

11:52.000 --> 11:53.000 You can cut all that out, Scott.

11:54.000 --> 11:56.000 No, I'll cut out part of it.

11:56.000 --> 11:57.000 Yeah.

11:57.000 --> 11:58.000 Yeah.

11:58.000 --> 11:59.000 That's going to be played in a loop.

12:02.000 --> 12:03.000 That's awesome.

12:03.000 --> 12:04.000 I was with you right up till you said.

12:04.000 --> 12:07.000 And then I was like, oh, that's not going to be good.

12:10.000 --> 12:12.000 You should have went with the word.

12:13.000 --> 12:17.000 So what, what he actually said was, uh, he sucks two dicks a year.

12:17.000 --> 12:19.000 One to make sure he doesn't like it.

12:19.000 --> 12:22.000 And the second one to make sure the first one wasn't just a bad experience.

12:23.000 --> 12:24.000 Yeah.

12:24.000 --> 12:25.000 You can't do anything just once.

12:27.000 --> 12:35.000 Hey, if you like or dislike, uh, a running, especially, uh, Mike's joke.

12:35.000 --> 12:36.000 Yeah.

12:38.000 --> 12:39.000 Yeah.

12:42.000 --> 12:43.000 Give us a call.

12:44.000 --> 12:46.000 That is if, yeah, go ahead.

12:55.000 --> 13:02.000 See, you know, uh, Scott, uh, uh, what, what, what went on today, Scott?

13:03.000 --> 13:05.000 Oh, I did the, um, well, fuck dude.

13:05.000 --> 13:07.000 I had a whole Tacoma day.

13:07.000 --> 13:16.000 I did the, uh, grit city comic show, but before I went there, um, I stopped at, at the valley and had, had brunch.

13:17.000 --> 13:17.000 Oh man.

13:18.000 --> 13:19.000 I saw some pictures in the discord.

13:20.000 --> 13:20.000 Dude.

13:20.000 --> 13:21.000 The valley is the best.

13:22.000 --> 13:24.000 I just have to say it's the best loaded mimosas.

13:25.000 --> 13:25.000 Yeah.

13:26.000 --> 13:27.000 It's fucking unreal.

13:27.000 --> 13:31.000 And then, um, they've got new, it looks like new t-shirts and sweatshirts out.

13:32.000 --> 13:35.000 And then, uh, they had a vinyl record.

13:35.000 --> 13:37.000 Uh, the sound of the valley it's called.

13:37.000 --> 13:40.000 So if you're a vinyl fan and you like local music.

13:40.000 --> 13:41.000 Yes.

13:41.000 --> 13:42.000 Um, yeah.

13:42.000 --> 13:44.000 Stop in there and grab one of their little vinyl.

13:44.000 --> 13:45.000 Not, not little.

13:45.000 --> 13:46.000 Right.

13:46.000 --> 13:48.000 So they made a mix, a mix vinyl.

13:48.000 --> 13:50.000 Um, yeah, it sounds, it looks like it's local music.

13:50.000 --> 13:51.000 I don't have a vinyl player.

13:51.000 --> 13:52.000 Right.

13:52.000 --> 13:54.000 And so I didn't grab one, but it says record player.

13:55.000 --> 13:56.000 Yeah.

13:56.000 --> 13:56.000 Yeah.

13:56.000 --> 13:57.000 Record player.

13:57.000 --> 13:58.000 Yeah.

13:58.000 --> 13:59.000 Yeah.

13:59.000 --> 14:00.000 Record player.

14:00.000 --> 14:01.000 Well, it just, everything says vinyl.

14:01.000 --> 14:02.000 It doesn't say by the record.

14:02.000 --> 14:03.000 Right.

14:03.000 --> 14:04.000 Yeah.

14:04.000 --> 14:06.000 Oh, that's what the cool kids call it.

14:07.000 --> 14:08.000 Yeah.

14:08.000 --> 14:09.000 I regret.

14:09.000 --> 14:10.000 I have the ones in my phonograph.

14:10.000 --> 14:11.000 I know.

14:11.000 --> 14:19.000 But the valley, Mike is a, this in a cylinder is our, is kind of a local, um, music, music

14:19.000 --> 14:20.000 place.

14:20.000 --> 14:21.000 Uh, doubt here.

14:21.000 --> 14:23.000 They do, um, what everything, right?

14:23.000 --> 14:25.000 Jeff, like, we've seen punk bands.

14:25.000 --> 14:26.000 We've seen comedy.

14:26.000 --> 14:28.000 I've seen jazz there.

14:28.000 --> 14:29.000 What else?

14:29.000 --> 14:30.000 Oh, everything.

14:30.000 --> 14:31.000 Everything.

14:31.000 --> 14:34.000 If you want, if you want to be heard there, you pay, you do what you do to get on there

14:34.000 --> 14:36.000 and you get, and they'll let you.

14:36.000 --> 14:37.000 They're always having shows.

14:37.000 --> 14:38.000 It's the best.

14:38.000 --> 14:39.000 Yeah.

14:39.000 --> 14:41.000 And the great thing, they haven't changed for nobody.

14:41.000 --> 14:42.000 Nope.

14:42.000 --> 14:43.000 And I think that that's awesome.

14:43.000 --> 14:46.000 It's been the, the, the quality that hasn't changed.

14:46.000 --> 14:47.000 And that's a good thing.

14:47.000 --> 14:48.000 Of course.

14:48.000 --> 14:50.000 And, but the, the aesthetics.

14:50.000 --> 14:55.000 The, the clientele, uh, it stayed the same.

14:55.000 --> 15:00.000 When, when I, I think when I go there, I think I'm going to feel like it's the same experience

15:00.000 --> 15:02.000 I had since the last time.

15:02.000 --> 15:03.000 Yep.

15:03.000 --> 15:04.000 I went.

15:04.000 --> 15:05.000 Yeah.

15:05.000 --> 15:06.000 1111 as well.

15:06.000 --> 15:07.000 Um, owned by the same people, great people.

15:07.000 --> 15:09.000 And, uh, they're both kind of ran the same.

15:09.000 --> 15:10.000 That's just fantastic.

15:10.000 --> 15:12.000 But we hang out at the valley more often than not.

15:12.000 --> 15:13.000 So.

15:13.000 --> 15:14.000 Yeah.

15:14.000 --> 15:15.000 I was just thinking about the video.

15:15.000 --> 15:18.000 I was going to find the video of the promo for a good city podcast where that's

15:18.000 --> 15:21.000 Oh, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't know what you should be posted

15:21.000 --> 15:22.000 now.

15:22.000 --> 15:23.000 I don't know.

15:23.000 --> 15:26.000 This video might need to be taken off the internet.

15:26.000 --> 15:31.000 No, because the opening shot is, uh, is the valley.

15:31.000 --> 15:32.000 The opening shot is us.

15:32.000 --> 15:33.000 The valley.

15:33.000 --> 15:34.000 Yeah.

15:34.000 --> 15:35.000 Yeah.

15:35.000 --> 15:39.000 But, uh, but yeah, anyway, after, um, Oh, go ahead.

18:19.000 --> 18:20.000 He had Metropolis.

18:20.000 --> 18:23.000 He had, um, Night of the Living Dead.

18:23.000 --> 18:27.000 He had a bunch of horror, um, and a bunch of just like weird movies, like kind of, um,

18:27.000 --> 18:28.000 yeah.

18:28.000 --> 18:29.000 Pulpy cult movies.

18:29.000 --> 18:30.000 Right.

18:30.000 --> 18:33.000 So he's been, he's been, yeah, he's been doing their, their posters.

18:33.000 --> 18:36.000 Of their weekly posters and then selling them there.

18:36.000 --> 18:42.000 And then he also said next week, um, if you're local next weekend is, uh, art in the, um,

18:42.000 --> 18:45.000 Armory, um, in Tacoma.

18:45.000 --> 18:48.000 So, um, it's going to have a bunch of, uh, artists there.

18:48.000 --> 18:50.000 I haven't looked it up, but I'm sure I will.

18:50.000 --> 18:52.000 And there'll be a link in the notes.

18:52.000 --> 18:58.000 I think every, every Metropolis has a, has a, uh, concert venue called the Armory.

18:58.000 --> 18:59.000 Yeah.

18:59.000 --> 19:02.000 Well, I think a lot of VA places call them the Armories and a lot of VA.

19:02.000 --> 19:04.000 And a lot of VA, uh, places.

19:04.000 --> 19:05.000 Oh, and every town.

19:05.000 --> 19:06.000 Oh, and yeah.

19:06.000 --> 19:11.000 Um, they'll let you rent them out for, for concerts and shows and stuff.

19:11.000 --> 19:15.000 A lot of, a lot of places, a lot of punk bands used to do that back in the day.

19:15.000 --> 19:16.000 Yeah.

19:16.000 --> 19:17.000 Yeah.

19:17.000 --> 19:21.000 Um, I think it's an actually, our actual Armory here though, because of the, um.

21:00.000 --> 21:04.000 Uh, and, and that's where I first, first, um, saw him.

21:04.000 --> 21:09.000 And I didn't know, like he's in the, in the show and I didn't realize that he was like

21:09.000 --> 21:10.000 the director writer.

21:10.000 --> 21:11.000 Right.

21:11.000 --> 21:12.000 And, um, I loved it at the time it came out.

21:12.000 --> 21:15.000 I thought like, it was, I was like, this shit is so funny.

21:15.000 --> 21:16.000 It was on YouTube.

21:16.000 --> 21:22.000 Um, and he came on and he was like, maybe one of my first little, like, uh, um, like,

21:22.000 --> 21:25.000 I'm like, Oh my God, I can't believe this guy's coming on the podcast.

21:25.000 --> 21:26.000 Right.

21:26.000 --> 21:27.000 Right.

21:27.000 --> 21:29.000 Uh, and he's a total, like just buddy.

21:29.000 --> 21:30.000 Now we hang out all the time.

21:30.000 --> 21:31.000 So kind of cool.

21:31.000 --> 21:37.000 No, he's a very, very down to earth guy, but like, uh, read, read some of his, uh, screenplay

21:37.000 --> 21:38.000 sometime or scripts.

21:38.000 --> 21:39.000 Yeah.

21:39.000 --> 21:40.000 Oh, he doesn't give me those.

21:40.000 --> 21:41.000 He doesn't give me those.

21:41.000 --> 21:42.000 He only gives those to you guys.

21:42.000 --> 21:44.000 He doesn't, he doesn't trust me.

21:44.000 --> 21:49.000 Oh, I hope he listens to this and he definitely hears this.

21:49.000 --> 21:50.000 I hope, I hope so.

21:50.000 --> 21:55.000 And all, and, and all fairness though, that was for a, a project that didn't quite come,

21:55.000 --> 21:57.000 come, come together for, for that.

21:57.000 --> 22:00.000 But I wouldn't know because I didn't get to read it.

22:00.000 --> 22:01.000 You didn't get to read it.

22:01.000 --> 22:05.000 Good thoughts for me.

22:05.000 --> 22:06.000 Yeah.

22:06.000 --> 22:07.000 That was my day, man.

22:07.000 --> 22:08.000 And then, uh, and then I rolled home.

22:08.000 --> 22:09.000 Oh, there was one other guy.

22:09.000 --> 22:10.000 There was an author, dude.

22:10.000 --> 22:14.000 Uh, he wrote this book, um, called the bad-ass.

22:14.000 --> 22:18.000 Um, his name's Ben Thompson and, uh, he's a local guy.

22:18.000 --> 22:20.000 And I had no idea that he was going to be there.

22:20.000 --> 22:21.000 I actually had this book.

22:21.000 --> 22:25.000 It's one of my favorites is published early two thousands.

22:25.000 --> 22:29.000 And it's not like, um, it, I don't know.

22:29.000 --> 22:31.000 It's kind of a, you just pick it up.

22:31.000 --> 22:35.000 It has different, like just different, it covers different people that were like bad-asses

22:35.000 --> 22:36.000 in history.

22:36.000 --> 22:37.000 Right.

22:37.000 --> 22:38.000 Right.

22:38.000 --> 22:39.000 Um, so it's pretty fun.

22:39.000 --> 22:40.000 And he was there.

22:40.000 --> 22:41.000 Really nice guy.

22:41.000 --> 22:44.000 We, we chatted for a bit.

22:44.000 --> 22:46.000 That is not, that's the best part.

22:46.000 --> 22:50.000 When, when you get to kind of click on somebody that you didn't know was going to be there.

22:50.000 --> 22:53.000 And it's just like, Oh, I know you.

22:55.000 --> 22:55.000 Cool.

22:55.000 --> 22:57.000 Did you get your questions answered?

22:57.000 --> 22:58.000 I did.

22:58.000 --> 23:00.000 Um, it was exactly like that, dude.

23:00.000 --> 23:06.000 I was walking by and I looked over and, um, the cover of the, of his book is pretty.

23:07.000 --> 23:12.000 Um, like, you know, like anything you've seen or you've read, you've seen it, you recognize

23:12.000 --> 23:12.000 it.

23:12.000 --> 23:13.000 Right.

23:13.000 --> 23:14.000 And then, and that was his behind him.

23:14.000 --> 23:16.000 And I saw that and I was like, what the fuck?

23:16.000 --> 23:17.000 I went over.

23:17.000 --> 23:18.000 I was like, Oh, did you write this?

23:18.000 --> 23:19.000 And he's like, yeah, man.

23:19.000 --> 23:21.000 I was like, get the fuck out of here.

23:21.000 --> 23:22.000 No, you didn't.

23:22.000 --> 23:25.000 Oh, for a little while.

23:25.000 --> 23:27.000 And, um, yeah, that was the highlight, right?

23:27.000 --> 23:33.000 Like I knew everybody, not that seeing all the people I didn't know, or I did know whoops.

23:33.000 --> 23:37.000 It's not, not like seeing all the people I did know wasn't fun.

23:37.000 --> 23:38.000 Right.

23:38.000 --> 23:39.000 It was fun and it was cool.

23:39.000 --> 23:44.000 And I, but, um, it was, it was the, the, you know, the, he was a notch off guard.

23:44.000 --> 23:45.000 Yeah.

23:45.000 --> 23:46.000 Well, it was, he just caught me off guard.

23:46.000 --> 23:48.000 I didn't expect that guy to be there.

23:48.000 --> 23:49.000 Right.

23:49.000 --> 23:50.000 I didn't know he was going to be there.

23:50.000 --> 23:52.000 And so seeing him there was really cool.

23:52.000 --> 23:52.000 Right.

23:52.000 --> 23:54.000 And they had some, dude, they had some other cool things.

23:54.000 --> 24:01.000 They had the, oh, the Ghostbusters car and a whole group of people, um, role playing Ghostbusters,

24:01.000 --> 24:05.000 um, cosplaying, I should say, not role playing, cosplaying Ghostbusters.

24:05.000 --> 24:08.000 They had the car from, what was that?

24:08.000 --> 24:09.000 They do that later.

24:09.000 --> 24:13.000 Yeah, probably the con P crews.

24:13.000 --> 24:14.000 You never know.

24:14.000 --> 24:15.000 Slimey baby.

24:15.000 --> 24:19.000 Um, dude, there was all kinds of cosplayers.

24:19.000 --> 24:23.000 Uh, they had all the, um, the halo.

24:23.000 --> 24:25.000 The halo group was there.

24:25.000 --> 24:30.000 They had, um, the Legos set up with trains running around.

24:30.000 --> 24:32.000 It was super cool.

24:32.000 --> 24:33.000 Yeah.

24:33.000 --> 24:36.000 Um, oh, the car from supernatural was there.

24:36.000 --> 24:37.000 Yeah.

24:37.000 --> 24:38.000 So, yeah, I don't know.

24:38.000 --> 24:39.000 It was just really fun, man.

24:39.000 --> 24:42.000 A lot of pictures, uh, just a really good time.

24:42.000 --> 24:48.000 I, I almost wish it was two days, but then I know that I probably wouldn't go for two days.

24:48.000 --> 24:49.000 You know what I mean?

24:49.000 --> 24:50.000 Yeah.

24:50.000 --> 24:51.000 Agreed.

24:51.000 --> 24:57.000 I think for that genre where it's mostly comic books, you don't need two days, you know,

24:57.000 --> 24:58.000 you know what I mean?

24:58.000 --> 25:00.000 Uh, and or creator, more creator.

25:00.000 --> 25:05.000 Now if they, when they start throwing in more, um, that's where they get off, you know,

25:05.000 --> 25:10.000 they, they, or, or, or they move away from that category of cons is when they start adding,

25:10.000 --> 25:15.000 um, uh, celebrities and people other than a creator.

25:15.000 --> 25:15.000 Agreed.

25:15.000 --> 25:20.000 And most of their celebrities were, um, are comic book, um, writers or artists.

25:20.000 --> 25:21.000 Related.

25:21.000 --> 25:22.000 Yeah.

25:22.000 --> 25:23.000 And that's fine.

25:23.000 --> 25:24.000 That's fine.

25:24.000 --> 25:25.000 Cause they, they're creating in that thing.

25:25.000 --> 25:26.000 Yeah.

25:26.000 --> 25:27.000 This is a comic book show, man.

25:27.000 --> 25:31.000 Well, they did one year where they had, they had a lot of, um, they had some actors cause

25:31.000 --> 25:32.000 they had like the kid from E.T.

25:32.000 --> 25:34.000 They had the, Oh, right.

25:34.000 --> 25:35.000 The one year we had a booth.

25:35.000 --> 25:40.000 Remember they had the one guy from, uh, Z nation, the older guy from.

25:40.000 --> 25:41.000 Right.

25:41.000 --> 25:41.000 Yeah.

25:41.000 --> 25:42.000 Yeah.

25:42.000 --> 25:46.000 A bunch of people there, but I think, um, I think the Puyallup one that comes in and just

25:46.000 --> 25:50.000 brings in like 40 different celebrities or 50 or whatever it is.

25:50.000 --> 25:51.000 Yeah.

25:51.000 --> 25:52.000 The con.

25:52.000 --> 25:53.000 Yeah.

25:53.000 --> 25:54.000 I forgot the state cons, the Washington state cons.

25:54.000 --> 25:55.000 Yeah.

25:55.000 --> 25:56.000 So I think they just.

25:56.000 --> 25:57.000 Yeah.

25:57.000 --> 25:59.000 They've been focusing more right on comic books.

25:59.000 --> 26:02.000 You know, something, um, I think you guys might like.

26:02.000 --> 26:08.000 Um, is they, um, they made it AI artwork free.

26:08.000 --> 26:10.000 So you could not, yeah.

26:10.000 --> 26:11.000 Do not.

26:11.000 --> 26:12.000 Oh, that's cool.

26:12.000 --> 26:14.000 Well, I was going to say that, especially during this time.

26:14.000 --> 26:16.000 You mean the artwork was AI free?

26:16.000 --> 26:21.000 Um, no, the con is AI artwork free.

26:21.000 --> 26:23.000 Did I say that right?

26:23.000 --> 26:24.000 Oh, I see what you're saying.

26:24.000 --> 26:25.000 Yeah.

26:25.000 --> 26:29.000 I, I, so I was, I was hearing they made AI artwork free.

26:29.000 --> 26:32.000 And I was like, what do you mean they made their artwork AI free?

26:32.000 --> 26:33.000 Like.

26:33.000 --> 26:34.000 Yes.

26:34.000 --> 26:35.000 Yes.

26:35.000 --> 26:38.000 Um, the con is free of AI artwork.

26:38.000 --> 26:39.000 Yes.

26:39.000 --> 26:40.000 Gotcha.

26:40.000 --> 26:41.000 Yeah.

26:41.000 --> 26:44.000 Um, they, they, if, if you have a booth, like if you're a creator that uses AI artwork,

26:44.000 --> 26:46.000 you can't, you can't sell it.

26:46.000 --> 26:47.000 They won't.

26:47.000 --> 26:48.000 They, they were saying no.

26:48.000 --> 26:50.000 So I thought that was a good, good thing.

26:50.000 --> 26:53.000 Some people, I guess, didn't like it, but I, I thought it was a good thing.

26:53.000 --> 26:54.000 So.

26:54.000 --> 27:00.000 Well, it's still got time to, we got to shuffle it all out, but yeah, that's a good stand.

27:00.000 --> 27:02.000 Um, because we got generations, right?

27:02.000 --> 27:05.000 These guys are still alive making money off their hands.

27:05.000 --> 27:07.000 So I under, totally understand.

27:07.000 --> 27:10.000 I also understand where AI is not going to be stopped in any way, shape or form.

27:10.000 --> 27:14.000 So there's, there's just going to, we just got to have to make the rules, you know?

27:14.000 --> 27:16.000 Um, no hate.

27:16.000 --> 27:22.000 Um, but I would rather read a comic book made by a human being because it's part of

27:22.000 --> 27:24.000 the art that I like.

27:24.000 --> 27:29.000 Um, matter of fact, we were talking about people a long time ago in Florida.

27:29.000 --> 27:33.000 I ran into the guy who makes love and rockets and it's kind of one of the, like an indie

27:33.000 --> 27:36.000 comic book about a, uh, about a friendship.

27:36.000 --> 27:40.000 And I, and I told the guy, the only thing I can say is that you were the first comic book

27:40.000 --> 27:43.000 I read that wasn't like a superhero comic.

27:43.000 --> 27:49.000 You know, I thought to be a comic, you had to be like a, but that just the format of a comic

27:49.000 --> 27:52.000 is, uh, the panels and the pages and stuff like that.

27:52.000 --> 27:53.000 That's what makes it a course.

27:53.000 --> 27:55.000 And he just kind of smiled at me weird.

27:55.000 --> 28:00.000 And, uh, but, uh, you smiled at me weird.

28:00.000 --> 28:01.000 Okay.

28:01.000 --> 28:02.000 Where's your mom?

28:02.000 --> 28:03.000 Little boy.

28:03.000 --> 28:06.000 I was 45 at the time.

28:06.000 --> 28:08.000 That makes it funnier.

28:08.000 --> 28:10.000 It does.

28:10.000 --> 28:12.000 Uh, and, uh, I was, uh, I was 45 at the time.

28:12.000 --> 28:17.000 And, uh, but yeah, it's, it's the art.

28:17.000 --> 28:22.000 And, um, of course, you know, we're, we're taking, we're the generations of the footsteps

28:22.000 --> 28:23.000 for art and AI.

28:23.000 --> 28:24.000 So.

28:24.000 --> 28:25.000 Oh dude.

28:25.000 --> 28:26.000 I came look everybody.

28:26.000 --> 28:27.000 Yeah.

28:27.000 --> 28:33.000 $300 lighter with like, I don't know, 12 prints and two t-shirts and all kinds of shit.

28:33.000 --> 28:34.000 Right.

28:34.000 --> 28:35.000 I can't help myself.

28:35.000 --> 28:36.000 A book, a couple of books.

28:36.000 --> 28:38.000 Like that's just, that's why I go to these things.

28:38.000 --> 28:39.000 I think it's awesome.

28:39.000 --> 28:40.000 Yeah.

28:40.000 --> 28:41.000 Yeah.

28:41.000 --> 28:42.000 Yeah.

28:42.000 --> 28:43.000 It keeps a lot.

28:43.000 --> 28:44.000 Yeah.

28:44.000 --> 28:45.000 And I recommend it.

28:45.000 --> 28:46.000 If you guys, even out of towners, if you're hearing this, come start putting it on your

28:46.000 --> 28:51.000 schedule to get here to the, the, the, uh, grid city comic show and then go home.

28:51.000 --> 28:52.000 Oh man.

28:52.000 --> 28:56.000 I think if you're anywhere, if you're in a, in a city and you're in a hotel and they're

28:56.000 --> 29:01.000 having some kind of convention, just see if the conventional let you roll through their,

29:01.000 --> 29:02.000 um, their shopping section.

29:02.000 --> 29:03.000 Right.

29:03.000 --> 29:07.000 Like sometimes they'll let you like, uh, nor West con will let you go into the, uh, I forget

29:07.000 --> 29:09.000 what they call it, but the area they have the vendors area.

29:09.000 --> 29:11.000 You don't, you don't have to buy a ticket to the con.

29:11.000 --> 29:12.000 Right.

29:12.000 --> 29:12.000 Yeah.

29:12.000 --> 29:16.000 You can just go through the vendors area because that's awesome.

29:16.000 --> 29:18.000 Most of the vendor stuff is super cool.

29:18.000 --> 29:20.000 Not that you shouldn't pay for the con.

29:20.000 --> 29:21.000 You should always pay for the con.

29:21.000 --> 29:24.000 But like I said, some of them will just let you go.

29:24.000 --> 29:25.000 Um, yeah.

29:25.000 --> 29:28.000 And yeah, like if you see a con locally, just go.

29:28.000 --> 29:29.000 They're awesome.

29:29.000 --> 29:30.000 They're super fun.

29:30.000 --> 29:31.000 Highly recommend.

29:32.000 --> 29:35.000 Even if it's something that you're not into like furry con, just go.

29:36.000 --> 29:37.000 Right now.

29:37.000 --> 29:38.000 C notes.

29:38.000 --> 29:39.000 C notes.

29:39.000 --> 29:41.000 Oh, you know what?

29:41.000 --> 29:47.000 I, I, I, I, I have a coworker that's a furry and that we talked about, uh, you know,

29:47.000 --> 29:50.000 we have something in common, you know, we, we had the, um, the slightly furry.

29:50.000 --> 29:51.000 Cause you're a furry too?

29:51.000 --> 29:52.000 Oh.

29:52.000 --> 29:53.000 What's that?

29:53.000 --> 29:54.000 Cause you're a furry too?

29:54.000 --> 29:55.000 No, I couldn't do it.

29:55.000 --> 29:56.000 Yeah.

29:56.000 --> 29:59.000 I didn't even thought, man, putting stuff on and walking around.

29:59.000 --> 30:01.000 I'm crazy enough, Scott, as it is.

30:01.000 --> 30:02.000 All I need is another altar.

30:02.000 --> 30:03.000 It just looks hot.

30:03.000 --> 30:05.000 I just don't want to be so hot and sweaty, right?

30:05.000 --> 30:06.000 Yeah.

30:06.000 --> 30:08.000 Maybe that's, I don't know if you're into that, you know.

30:08.000 --> 30:09.000 Other than that, I would probably do.

30:09.000 --> 30:11.000 You could be a furry in winter.

30:11.000 --> 30:12.000 Yeah.

30:12.000 --> 30:13.000 That would be better.

30:13.000 --> 30:15.000 I'd be like, I'd be like a sunbird furry.

30:15.000 --> 30:18.000 What did you just dress up for on Halloween, Mike?

30:18.000 --> 30:19.000 Oh, wait, wait.

30:19.000 --> 30:20.000 Yeah.

30:20.000 --> 30:21.000 I got, I got to get into that.

30:21.000 --> 30:22.000 Wait, wait.

30:22.000 --> 30:23.000 We'll do a new transition.

30:23.000 --> 30:24.000 Great transition.

30:24.000 --> 30:25.000 Yes.

30:25.000 --> 30:26.000 All right.

30:26.000 --> 30:37.000 Hey, if you have a comic book show that you like in your area, share it with us at 1-855-474-8272.

30:37.000 --> 30:43.000 And we want to hear any experiences that you had at this Grit City comic book show.

30:43.000 --> 30:48.000 Call us at 1-855-474-8272.

30:48.000 --> 30:59.000 Now, getting back to the conversation about Mike's Halloween costume this year.

30:59.000 --> 31:03.000 Mike, please tell us what happened this Halloween.

31:03.000 --> 31:04.000 Yeah.

31:04.000 --> 31:13.000 So this year, I dressed up as a Care Bear because everyone knows that's exactly what I am.

31:13.000 --> 31:14.000 Yeah.

31:14.000 --> 31:17.000 This was a full, yeah, go ahead.

31:17.000 --> 31:18.000 I'm sorry.

31:18.000 --> 31:19.000 Yeah.

31:19.000 --> 31:22.000 Full on, like, was an adult onesie.

31:22.000 --> 31:23.000 Yeah.

31:23.000 --> 31:25.000 That the head came all the way over.

31:25.000 --> 31:26.000 The head and everything.

31:26.000 --> 31:27.000 Yep.

31:27.000 --> 31:31.000 And I had to choose the most appropriate Care Bear, so I was Grumpy Bear.

31:31.000 --> 31:32.000 Right.

31:32.000 --> 31:41.000 I did, you know, the younger kids, not so well versed in the ancient cartoons.

31:41.000 --> 31:42.000 Yeah.

31:42.000 --> 31:46.000 So I got asked if I was Sully a couple of times.

31:46.000 --> 31:47.000 Okay.

31:47.000 --> 31:51.000 And then one kid asked if I was Mike Wazowski.

31:51.000 --> 31:56.000 And I said, well, I think you're thinking of Sully, but nope, not him either.

31:58.000 --> 32:00.000 But yeah, it was a good time.

32:00.000 --> 32:01.000 Right on.

32:01.000 --> 32:03.000 Did you get a lot of trick-or-treaters?

32:04.000 --> 32:05.000 Not that many.

32:05.000 --> 32:09.000 I do my tendencies.

32:09.000 --> 32:18.000 I don't want to say OCD because I feel like I'm stealing people's whatever that is.

32:18.000 --> 32:20.000 It's just kind of like Xerox.

32:20.000 --> 32:21.000 Yeah.

32:21.000 --> 32:26.000 I do full-size candy bars so I can count how many I give out.

32:26.000 --> 32:27.000 Wow.

32:27.000 --> 32:30.000 So I'm not complaining about that.

32:30.000 --> 32:31.000 Easier that way.

32:31.000 --> 32:32.000 Yeah.

32:32.000 --> 32:34.000 I gave out 82 candy bars.

32:34.000 --> 32:35.000 Yeah.

32:35.000 --> 32:36.000 Very good.

32:36.000 --> 32:37.000 Yeah.

32:37.000 --> 32:39.000 Do you have more trick-or-treaters than anybody I know?

32:39.000 --> 32:43.000 Well, it was actually really light this year.

32:43.000 --> 32:45.000 I keep a, I always buy it.

32:45.000 --> 32:57.000 So I do the, the last three years I've done full-size candy bars, but I buy like a six pound bag of like the miscellaneous little bitty candy shits just for emergencies.

32:57.000 --> 33:01.000 Cause the first year I handed out all my candy bars and I was like, Oh shit.

33:01.000 --> 33:08.000 So my daughter takes a pillowcase around and she had come home and dropped it off cause it got too heavy and went back out.

33:08.000 --> 33:10.000 So I started handing her candy out.

33:10.000 --> 33:13.000 Oh, wow.

33:13.000 --> 33:15.000 That's fucking diabolical too.

33:15.000 --> 33:16.000 I know, right?

33:16.000 --> 33:17.000 You kind of cycle.

33:17.000 --> 33:18.000 She didn't notice.

33:18.000 --> 33:19.000 She never eats at all anyways.

33:19.000 --> 33:20.000 Right?

33:20.000 --> 33:21.000 That's hilarious.

33:21.000 --> 33:22.000 Well, that is smart.

33:22.000 --> 33:23.000 That is, yeah.

33:23.000 --> 33:24.000 You got a racket going on.

33:24.000 --> 33:30.000 You could get paid kids in the neighborhood to bring them, give them half your candy and you could just circle it back through.

33:30.000 --> 33:31.000 Right.

33:31.000 --> 33:36.000 So people were saying like one or two trick or treaters.

33:36.000 --> 33:39.000 I got like, we got like one or two, maybe that's it.

33:39.000 --> 33:40.000 Almost not.

33:40.000 --> 33:48.000 Oh, so we, when the weather's decent and it was, it had, it kind of stopped raining for the most part.

33:48.000 --> 33:52.000 Um, and it was, it was probably in the mid fifties.

33:52.000 --> 33:53.000 So it's pretty decent weather for us.

33:53.000 --> 34:04.000 Um, but when the weather's decent, like they, they'll bring like buses and fucking vans of kids to our neighborhood and they just run around.

34:04.000 --> 34:05.000 It's ridiculous.

34:05.000 --> 34:08.000 Oh, we know who lives in the nice neighborhood right now.

34:08.000 --> 34:09.000 Yeah.

34:09.000 --> 34:12.000 Oh, well, we had a friend like that too.

34:12.000 --> 34:16.000 We, we had a handful of people just in the local kids in the, in the cul-de-sac.

34:16.000 --> 34:18.000 Luckily we have a lot of younger kids now.

34:18.000 --> 34:29.000 And, uh, but in, in all, it was very, very small, but, uh, one of the, my wife's coworkers, she has like, she says 2000 easy.

34:29.000 --> 34:30.000 Yeah.

34:30.000 --> 34:31.000 Whoa.

34:31.000 --> 34:32.000 Two hundred.

34:32.000 --> 34:33.000 Yeah.

34:33.000 --> 34:34.000 Two thousand.

34:34.000 --> 34:35.000 Jesus.

34:35.000 --> 34:41.000 Dude, we drove through downtown Puyallup, like right around, you know, trick or treating time this year.

34:41.000 --> 34:45.000 And, um, it was packed, like just packed full of people.

34:45.000 --> 34:48.000 Like, and I was like, where are all these kids that they're not at our house?

34:48.000 --> 34:49.000 Like what the fuck?

34:49.000 --> 34:50.000 That's funny.

34:50.000 --> 34:51.000 But that's cool.

34:51.000 --> 34:53.000 Cause I'll just eat all the candies.

34:53.000 --> 34:54.000 I don't give shit.

34:54.000 --> 34:56.000 Oh, see, and I don't eat candy.

34:56.000 --> 34:59.000 So when we're done, I take all that shit to work and just give it away.

34:59.000 --> 35:00.000 Well, that sucks.

35:00.000 --> 35:01.000 Sorry.

35:01.000 --> 35:02.000 Yeah.

35:02.000 --> 35:03.000 Whatever.

35:03.000 --> 35:04.000 Yeah.

35:04.000 --> 35:09.000 So, uh, and I was thinking because my wife, I said, well, is Halloween ever going to be the way it was, but I guess it's always been this way.

35:09.000 --> 35:10.000 No.

35:10.000 --> 35:11.000 Depending where you lived.

35:11.000 --> 35:12.000 Yeah.

35:12.000 --> 35:18.000 If you lived in the city and, you know, in a place that's popular or you're very nice and generous like Mike, you know, you're going to get more trick or treaters.

35:18.000 --> 35:20.000 It's not really a thing.

35:20.000 --> 35:22.000 I mean, it sounds weird, but it'll go away.

35:22.000 --> 35:24.000 Like candy's not like a thing, right?

35:24.000 --> 35:25.000 Yeah.

35:25.000 --> 35:26.000 It used to be like a thing.

35:26.000 --> 35:27.000 Oh, candy.

35:27.000 --> 35:30.000 It was just, it was like a special thing, but it's not like a special thing.

35:30.000 --> 35:31.000 People can get candy.

35:31.000 --> 35:32.000 And.

35:32.000 --> 35:33.000 Well, yeah, you could get it.

35:33.000 --> 35:34.000 That's what Amazon is.

35:34.000 --> 35:35.000 Right.

35:35.000 --> 35:36.000 You know, Amazon.

35:36.000 --> 35:37.000 Don't care anymore.

35:37.000 --> 35:38.000 Right.

35:38.000 --> 35:39.000 It's not that big of a deal.

35:39.000 --> 35:40.000 It's not that thing.

35:40.000 --> 35:41.000 The dressing up's fun.

35:41.000 --> 35:42.000 And the running around at night is fun.

35:42.000 --> 35:43.000 Yeah.

35:43.000 --> 35:44.000 But it'll go away.

35:44.000 --> 35:45.000 Yeah.

35:45.000 --> 35:46.000 It's such a popular character.

35:46.000 --> 35:52.000 You know, there was an inordinate amount of slutty costumes this year.

35:52.000 --> 35:53.000 Whoa.

35:53.000 --> 35:54.000 A little awkward.

35:54.000 --> 35:55.000 Yeah.

35:55.000 --> 35:57.000 It's weird to hear from a Care Bear.

35:57.000 --> 35:58.000 You know what I'm saying?

35:58.000 --> 36:04.000 Well, so it's normally like little kids, but I like, I don't, I don't, I don't.

36:04.000 --> 36:05.000 What the fuck, dude?

36:05.000 --> 36:06.000 What do you say it?

36:06.000 --> 36:07.000 I don't know.

36:07.000 --> 36:09.000 I don't know where we're going with this, but I'm not sure.

36:09.000 --> 36:11.000 So like the moms of the little kids.

36:11.000 --> 36:16.000 The trick or treaters are normally little, little kids, but I don't like when, when the

36:16.000 --> 36:21.000 older kids come through, I don't, I don't stop them and say, Hey, you're too old for this.

36:21.000 --> 36:22.000 It's like, look, you know what?

36:22.000 --> 36:23.000 They could be out doing slutty.

36:23.000 --> 36:24.000 Get out of here.

36:24.000 --> 36:25.000 What are you doing?

36:25.000 --> 36:29.000 They could be out doing, I hope you could be out doing bad shit.

36:29.000 --> 36:30.000 Right.

36:30.000 --> 36:31.000 And they're just getting candy.

36:31.000 --> 36:32.000 So I don't care.

36:32.000 --> 36:33.000 Right.

36:33.000 --> 36:39.000 But the, the kids that were coming through were, you know, around my daughter's age, but

36:39.000 --> 36:44.000 there was, there was some that were like, there was probably five slutty angels and I guess

36:44.000 --> 36:45.000 I wasn't really paying attention.

36:45.000 --> 36:49.000 So I could have just been getting hit multiple times by the same group.

36:49.000 --> 36:51.000 By the same slutty angel?

36:51.000 --> 36:52.000 Yeah.

36:52.000 --> 36:55.000 Checking out the same slutty angel like five times?

36:55.000 --> 36:56.000 No, dude.

36:56.000 --> 36:59.000 I don't know what, you need to talk to somebody, brother.

36:59.000 --> 37:01.000 No, no, no.

37:01.000 --> 37:02.000 Listen to me, sir.

37:02.000 --> 37:05.000 There will be absolutely none of that shit.

37:05.000 --> 37:10.000 So that's what I was kind of interested, not interested, but kind of, it took notice

37:10.000 --> 37:16.000 of when I started going to cons with my, with my kid, that anime was, was hitting America.

37:16.000 --> 37:17.000 Yeah.

37:17.000 --> 37:18.000 And it's all slutty.

37:18.000 --> 37:19.000 Yeah.

37:19.000 --> 37:21.000 And all these girls, I said, who the fuck?

37:21.000 --> 37:25.000 You know, this is a 12 year old girl who says, Hey mom, I need this, this and a pair of,

37:25.000 --> 37:28.000 pair of fish neck stockings to go to, go to the con.

37:28.000 --> 37:34.000 And, and I thought, but as a parent, your kid comes up, I want to be Yakosuke from, from

37:34.000 --> 37:37.000 everybody loves, you know, everybody loves fish.

37:37.000 --> 37:39.000 And they're like, yeah, no problem.

37:39.000 --> 37:41.000 And then they don't.

37:41.000 --> 37:42.000 Until you see them wearing it.

37:42.000 --> 37:43.000 And then you're like, no, no.

37:43.000 --> 37:49.000 They didn't tell you the bad guy in this thing is a 35 year old cross dresser from an

37:49.000 --> 37:53.000 ultimate, ultimate dimension, you know, you know, and it's like, wow.

37:53.000 --> 37:58.000 Well, that's where it's kind of like, yeah, you need to read the fine print and all this

37:58.000 --> 37:59.000 now.

37:59.000 --> 38:01.000 We're just, the whole story kids.

38:01.000 --> 38:02.000 Tell me the whole story before I let you.

38:02.000 --> 38:03.000 Exactly.

38:03.000 --> 38:04.000 Like.

38:04.000 --> 38:07.000 I never got into anime.

38:07.000 --> 38:10.000 I could just, I never got into it at all.

38:10.000 --> 38:11.000 I wish I could.

38:11.000 --> 38:17.000 It sounds like there's really good stories, but, uh, every time I try to watch something,

38:17.000 --> 38:19.000 I'm just, I get so fucking bored.

38:19.000 --> 38:20.000 Yeah.

38:20.000 --> 38:23.000 Can I give you one that I think you'd like?

38:23.000 --> 38:24.000 Because I like it.

38:24.000 --> 38:25.000 Please.

38:25.000 --> 38:28.000 Champagne, Cham, Cham, Cham, Lou, Cham, plain.

38:28.000 --> 38:29.000 Cham, Lou.

38:29.000 --> 38:30.000 Yeah.

38:30.000 --> 38:31.000 Champlain Cham, Lou.

38:31.000 --> 38:35.000 It's about these two samurais and they're totally different.

38:35.000 --> 38:42.000 And they, uh, it's kind of like an odd couple type of thing, but they try to add modern.

38:42.000 --> 38:51.000 They play modern music to it and they'll do like, uh, when the, the, it was played on Adult

38:51.000 --> 38:54.000 Swim or whatever they call it a long time ago.

38:54.000 --> 38:55.000 Whole series already done.

38:55.000 --> 38:57.000 Uh, first season, I think is the best.

38:57.000 --> 38:59.000 I don't know about the second or the third.

38:59.000 --> 39:00.000 You know what?

39:00.000 --> 39:02.000 I can't say I can't, I've never gotten to animation.

39:02.000 --> 39:07.000 Cause, um, do you count, do you count, uh, Avatar as.

39:07.000 --> 39:10.000 Oh, that's American anime.

39:10.000 --> 39:14.000 So the two guys that did it are from America, but they went.

39:14.000 --> 39:15.000 Okay.

39:15.000 --> 39:17.000 And that style worked with.

39:17.000 --> 39:18.000 Yeah.

39:18.000 --> 39:19.000 They worked with Japanese anime.

39:19.000 --> 39:22.000 It's the closest I've ever gotten to, to watch an anime.

39:22.000 --> 39:23.000 So.

39:23.000 --> 39:27.000 Or to enjoy an anime, I should say.

39:27.000 --> 39:28.000 Okay, Jeff.

39:28.000 --> 39:32.000 Jeff, is that the, you're talking about Samurai Cham, Lou, right?

39:32.000 --> 39:33.000 Yeah.

39:33.000 --> 39:34.000 Samurai Cham, Lou.

39:34.000 --> 39:35.000 There we go.

39:35.000 --> 39:36.000 Yeah.

39:36.000 --> 39:37.000 Yeah.

39:37.000 --> 39:38.000 I threw the IMDB in the, in the chat.

39:38.000 --> 39:39.000 Thank you.

39:39.000 --> 39:42.000 Because yeah, I don't remember, but I remember I watched it with my, and that's why I liked

39:42.000 --> 39:43.000 it too.

39:43.000 --> 39:46.000 Cause I watched it with my son and we pointed out, you know, what was funny and what was cool.

39:46.000 --> 39:50.000 And they did just add it and it was in the nineties, you know, so it was kind of like,

39:50.000 --> 39:51.000 they threw little references.

39:51.000 --> 39:56.000 Like, so if the big boss came into town, he was carried instead of, uh, just a straight

39:56.000 --> 40:01.000 out, um, you know, where the two guys in front, two guys in back carries them.

40:01.000 --> 40:06.000 It's kind of in a low rider type of thing, you know, as he's walking, you know, so they

40:06.000 --> 40:11.000 do kind of poke fun, you know, it's kind of meta in a way, lack of a better term, but good

40:11.000 --> 40:12.000 story.

40:12.000 --> 40:18.000 You just like, it's like, like a male, a male, every anime fan says, Oh, but the story's

40:18.000 --> 40:19.000 the best story.

40:19.000 --> 40:20.000 Right.

40:20.000 --> 40:26.000 Well, it's like, to me, 10 minutes in, I put it, why am I watching a cartoon?

40:26.000 --> 40:27.000 Right.

40:27.000 --> 40:33.000 I put, I put it up as a soprano story type, you know, like what you call adult man, soap

40:33.000 --> 40:34.000 opera type of stuff.

40:34.000 --> 40:40.000 Cause it has just, just enough choppy choppy, you know, it's like, yeah, fuck that guy

40:40.000 --> 40:41.000 up.

40:41.000 --> 40:43.000 Like lone wolf type of guy.

40:43.000 --> 40:44.000 Yeah.

40:44.000 --> 40:47.000 If you, if you can't get into a samurai shampoo, you could always try that.

40:47.000 --> 40:49.000 The other one I put in there.

40:49.000 --> 40:50.000 Come on.

40:50.000 --> 40:52.000 I hear that one's really good.

40:52.000 --> 40:53.000 Does it have tentacles?

40:53.000 --> 40:55.000 I know broken has one.

40:55.000 --> 40:59.000 Dude, you're not helping your case with the sexy fucking.

40:59.000 --> 41:00.000 Oh, shut the fuck up.

42:17.000 --> 42:17.000 Culture up.

42:18.000 --> 42:19.000 You tried Cowboy Bebop?

42:19.000 --> 42:20.000 I tried that.

42:20.000 --> 42:21.000 I couldn't do it.

42:21.000 --> 42:22.000 That's a classic.

42:22.000 --> 42:23.000 Oh, yeah, me too.

42:23.000 --> 42:24.000 That's rough.

42:24.000 --> 42:25.000 Some places.

42:25.000 --> 42:28.000 There's a couple of other ones they tell you to watch at the very beginning.

42:28.000 --> 42:29.000 Ghost in the Machine.

42:29.000 --> 42:30.000 Is that one?

42:30.000 --> 42:34.000 Yeah, about the gay trucker guy that gets put in a woman's body.

42:34.000 --> 42:35.000 She has trouble.

42:35.000 --> 42:40.000 I watched the movie with Skylar Johansson and I was like, hmm.

42:40.000 --> 42:41.000 All right.

42:41.000 --> 42:43.000 There's a couple of them everybody always throws at you.

42:43.000 --> 42:44.000 I've just tried that.

42:44.000 --> 42:45.000 I'm like, oh.

42:45.000 --> 42:48.000 So if you're doing movies, Akira, that's a decent movie.

42:48.000 --> 42:50.000 Oh, maybe that's the other one.

42:50.000 --> 42:51.000 That's one.

42:51.000 --> 42:53.000 Yeah, Brogan has one he'd recommend you to watch.

42:53.000 --> 42:54.000 Oh.

42:54.000 --> 42:55.000 No.

42:55.000 --> 42:56.000 Yeah, I don't.

42:56.000 --> 42:57.000 No, no, no.

42:57.000 --> 42:58.000 Get grandma.

42:58.000 --> 42:59.000 Get grandma.

42:59.000 --> 43:01.000 So my daughter got it.

43:01.000 --> 43:02.000 Brogan probably has a bunch.

43:02.000 --> 43:05.000 My daughter went through an anime phase and she was watching.

43:05.000 --> 43:06.000 I don't know.

43:06.000 --> 43:11.000 It was some weird like they were becoming superheroes and they were going to high school.

43:11.000 --> 43:12.000 I don't remember what it was called.

43:12.000 --> 43:13.000 Academia.

43:13.000 --> 43:14.000 Yeah.

43:14.000 --> 43:15.000 Yeah.

43:15.000 --> 43:16.000 Yeah.

43:16.000 --> 43:17.000 My hero academia.

43:17.000 --> 43:18.000 That's what it was.

43:18.000 --> 43:20.000 I was trying to get into that with her.

43:20.000 --> 43:24.000 So she she was kind of losing interest.

43:24.000 --> 43:25.000 And I was like, all right.

43:25.000 --> 43:31.000 So I made the horrible fucking mistake going on Reddit to try to find suggestions for anime.

43:31.000 --> 43:34.000 One, Reddit.

43:34.000 --> 43:35.000 Yeah.

43:35.000 --> 43:36.000 My bad.

43:36.000 --> 43:38.000 But two, Jesus, fuck.

43:38.000 --> 43:42.000 The names of the shit doesn't ever match what's actually in the shit.

43:42.000 --> 43:47.000 So don't ever go to Reddit for suggestions is all I'm saying.

43:47.000 --> 43:48.000 Fuck.

43:48.000 --> 43:53.000 I know something called puppy love is not what you think it is.

43:53.000 --> 43:54.000 Yeah, dude.

43:54.000 --> 43:55.000 Like they do weird shit.

43:55.000 --> 43:57.000 Like there's one called food wars.

43:57.000 --> 43:58.000 I was like, all right, cool.

43:58.000 --> 43:59.000 It's about cooking.

43:59.000 --> 44:01.000 No, no, it's not actually about cooking.

44:01.000 --> 44:03.000 I mean, it is, but it's not.

44:03.000 --> 44:04.000 Right.

44:04.000 --> 44:06.000 But it's not.

44:06.000 --> 44:07.000 Yeah.

44:07.000 --> 44:08.000 Right on.

44:08.000 --> 44:09.000 Hey, it's got.

44:09.000 --> 44:12.000 Do you have a phone in?

44:12.000 --> 44:14.000 Did somebody call in?

44:14.000 --> 44:15.000 Oh, yeah.

44:15.000 --> 44:15.000 Yeah.

44:15.000 --> 44:16.000 Yeah.

44:16.000 --> 44:19.000 We do have a voicemail.

44:19.000 --> 44:20.000 Voicemail.

44:20.000 --> 44:21.000 What's up, guys?

44:21.000 --> 44:22.000 It's Eric calling in.

44:22.000 --> 44:23.000 I just did it myself.

44:23.000 --> 44:33.000 I just want to remind everyone, put on those spigot covers if you got outside faucets before you need it.

44:33.000 --> 44:35.000 It's going to get cold.

44:35.000 --> 44:36.000 Talk to you later.

44:36.000 --> 44:37.000 Bye.

44:37.000 --> 44:38.000 Great tip.

44:38.000 --> 44:39.000 Nice.

44:39.000 --> 44:39.620 Great tip.

44:40.600 --> 44:41.000 Nice.

44:41.540 --> 44:45.040 It's awesome that he called, but I thought spigot was a slur.

44:45.120 --> 44:45.900 I thought you couldn't say that.

44:46.160 --> 44:47.140 I couldn't say that.

44:47.840 --> 44:48.160 Well.

44:50.540 --> 44:52.740 So make sure you cover it when it's getting cold out.

44:53.080 --> 44:55.880 When it's covered, yeah, when it gets cold out.

44:56.340 --> 44:57.640 Now's the perfect time to do it.

44:57.740 --> 45:00.020 Our leaves are coming off mostly all the trees.

45:00.120 --> 45:01.980 It's real pretty and stuff, but he's right, man.

45:01.980 --> 45:04.500 We got some storms coming, I heard.

45:05.500 --> 45:07.080 So now's the time to do it.

45:07.140 --> 45:08.220 It takes like, what, two seconds?

45:08.300 --> 45:09.320 Even Jeff can do it.

45:10.860 --> 45:11.600 Thank you, Eric.

45:11.620 --> 45:15.940 Yeah, it's way better than waking up and having ice up the whole side of your place.

45:15.940 --> 45:20.960 Yeah, or crack that pipe so they have to get into your wall and fucking fix it.

45:21.080 --> 45:22.580 Yeah, that's a night and I ain't going to sleep in there.

45:22.720 --> 45:23.080 Terrible.

45:23.940 --> 45:24.300 Terrible.

45:25.240 --> 45:29.080 Yeah, dude, you don't want to go to downtown Seattle and find the crack pipes.

45:29.340 --> 45:30.380 That's just bad.

45:31.300 --> 45:34.380 Well, it's easy to go downtown Seattle and get a crack pipe.

45:34.520 --> 45:37.040 Yeah, it's just like you just step off the bus over the guy,

45:37.600 --> 45:38.540 take it out of his pocket.

45:39.440 --> 45:39.740 Yep.

45:40.160 --> 45:41.560 You can find him on the bus.

45:41.560 --> 45:41.740 It's a gift that keeps on giving.

45:42.740 --> 45:43.060 Right.

45:46.340 --> 45:46.700 Awesome.

45:46.820 --> 45:47.420 Thank you, Eric.

45:47.500 --> 45:50.420 We just turned it into a crack PSA.

45:50.460 --> 45:50.700 Sorry.

45:51.120 --> 45:51.220 Sorry.

45:53.780 --> 45:54.920 Eric is the best.

45:55.020 --> 45:55.920 I have to say that.

45:56.200 --> 45:56.560 Yeah.

45:56.560 --> 45:57.340 Eric is really cool.

45:57.340 --> 45:57.880 Thank you for the tip.

45:57.880 --> 45:58.700 You're the best, Eric.

45:59.180 --> 46:00.140 I was just talking about soccer.

46:00.260 --> 46:02.300 I said, and the stars are starting up.

46:02.320 --> 46:02.720 He says.

46:04.480 --> 46:04.840 Yes.

46:04.960 --> 46:05.080 Yeah.

46:05.180 --> 46:09.880 At the, um, the soccer center into in Puyallup.

46:10.080 --> 46:14.660 Well, the, the, you can watch the stars at, uh, what one is it?

46:14.660 --> 46:15.360 It's up north.

46:15.900 --> 46:16.180 Fuck.

46:16.220 --> 46:16.880 I wish he was here.

46:16.940 --> 46:17.780 He's our sports guy.

46:18.780 --> 46:23.520 Um, but yesterday he posted, um, the, their, their secondary team is playing at the soccer

46:23.520 --> 46:25.260 center in, um, in Tacoma.

46:25.780 --> 46:31.520 Um, and that's a blast if, if you, if, if you're in Tacoma and you've never been, um, it's

46:31.520 --> 46:32.520 super fun to watch there.

46:32.720 --> 46:34.460 So we need to do it about going today.

46:34.560 --> 46:34.980 Yeah.

46:35.060 --> 46:37.280 We almost, we almost did it, man.

46:37.280 --> 46:41.680 Like after we were rolling out, but the game's not for another 20 minutes from right now.

46:41.680 --> 46:43.360 So I'm just probably not going to go.

46:45.500 --> 46:45.860 Boo.

46:46.420 --> 46:46.740 I know.

46:46.860 --> 46:48.900 You're talking about the Tacoma star soccer team.

46:49.320 --> 46:49.600 Yeah.

46:49.700 --> 46:49.920 Yeah.

46:49.920 --> 46:50.040 Yeah.

46:50.640 --> 46:56.600 In Tacoma, um, is their secondary, I believe.

46:56.720 --> 46:58.060 I forget the name of it.

46:58.240 --> 47:03.240 Um, the, the Tacoma stars actually play a little bit up north.

47:03.280 --> 47:06.680 Um, the same place the, um, the hockey team does.

47:06.980 --> 47:08.280 Can't, they can't show where center.

47:08.420 --> 47:08.680 Yeah.

47:08.760 --> 47:09.300 There you go.

47:09.400 --> 47:09.920 Thank you.

47:09.960 --> 47:10.240 Cino.

47:10.320 --> 47:11.120 Did you Google that?

47:11.500 --> 47:16.700 No, but I kind of remembered, uh, I remember Eric talking about it from last year.

47:16.700 --> 47:17.700 So yeah.

47:17.800 --> 47:18.600 Show where center.

47:18.720 --> 47:18.960 Yeah.

47:19.360 --> 47:19.720 Show where.

47:19.820 --> 47:19.980 Yeah.

47:19.980 --> 47:21.940 These must be preseason games.

47:21.940 --> 47:24.820 Cause they don't start till December 13th.

47:25.040 --> 47:25.480 Ooh.

47:25.780 --> 47:26.280 Which ones?

47:27.500 --> 47:29.100 The Tacoma stars.

47:29.300 --> 47:30.620 I'm looking at their schedule right now.

47:31.080 --> 47:31.380 Yeah.

47:31.720 --> 47:38.100 See, I think the, um, he, I think the tickets are on sale sale for those, but I think, um,

47:38.760 --> 47:43.840 the secondary team, he posted a link in the discord under, um, under sports, I think.

47:44.420 --> 47:46.000 Oh, I got to scroll up a little bit.

47:48.740 --> 47:49.180 Ooh.

47:49.320 --> 47:49.420 Yeah.

47:49.420 --> 47:50.800 Can we support the whole team?

47:51.140 --> 47:51.380 Okay.

47:52.380 --> 47:53.980 Oh, well, that's the stars.

47:54.240 --> 47:55.320 I'm going to reserves.

47:55.600 --> 47:56.060 There you go.

47:56.120 --> 47:57.060 The stars reserves.

47:59.480 --> 48:01.040 Hey, can I actually play?

48:01.280 --> 48:01.920 Oh, go ahead, Jeff.

48:02.180 --> 48:02.740 No, go ahead.

48:02.800 --> 48:03.240 Go finish.

48:03.540 --> 48:03.840 I'm sorry.

48:04.040 --> 48:05.160 I was going to say the stars.

48:06.280 --> 48:10.140 I know it sounds it's, it's hard, or it's, I don't know if it makes sense, but the stars

48:10.140 --> 48:15.800 reserves play at the, at the soccer place in Tacoma.

48:16.000 --> 48:20.740 But the Tacoma stars play at the show where center in Kent, just cause it's bigger.

48:20.740 --> 48:21.580 I think.

48:22.100 --> 48:25.400 Reserves in Tacoma and the other stars in Kent.

48:25.780 --> 48:26.300 Yeah.

48:26.540 --> 48:28.360 See, see, see, we got it.

48:28.360 --> 48:29.220 Good job, man.

48:29.240 --> 48:29.960 That is awesome.

48:30.080 --> 48:30.760 Great work.

48:31.360 --> 48:33.760 And, and again, Eric knows all about that.

48:33.760 --> 48:38.880 So we, we need to hear more from Eric and how the, uh, the stars are doing.

48:39.500 --> 48:40.960 Or jump on our discord.

48:41.200 --> 48:44.360 He's very, he posts things all the time on there.

48:44.820 --> 48:47.320 Eric is very active on our discord, which I appreciate.

48:47.760 --> 48:48.520 Thank you, Eric.

48:48.880 --> 48:48.900 Yes.

48:48.900 --> 48:49.440 Thank you, Eric.

48:50.120 --> 48:50.700 Thank you.

48:50.760 --> 48:50.960 Yeah.

48:50.980 --> 48:52.280 So, uh, check out our discord.

48:52.400 --> 48:53.380 It's a grit city podcast.

48:54.100 --> 48:56.120 Just type in grit city podcast on discord.

48:56.260 --> 48:58.940 If you, we like you like us.

48:59.640 --> 49:04.060 Ceno and I posted on there, um, when we were hanging out at the, uh, at Top Gun.

49:04.980 --> 49:06.000 And I saw that.

49:06.220 --> 49:07.680 Nobody come to hang out with us.

49:07.760 --> 49:09.300 It was just us on the bartenders.

49:09.500 --> 49:10.880 They knew we were coming though.

49:10.980 --> 49:12.660 They're like, Hey, we heard you guys were coming.

49:13.340 --> 49:14.300 Thank you.

49:14.960 --> 49:16.900 Maybe you should be quieter when you do that.

49:17.540 --> 49:18.220 I know, right?

49:18.800 --> 49:20.940 Hey, I got a, I got a thing on my mind.

49:21.220 --> 49:28.360 So, uh, one, this is about a text that was posted in the personal or the, the GCP text,

49:28.500 --> 49:35.360 you know, that four of us are in or so, uh, the hosts are in, uh, and it was about the

49:35.360 --> 49:42.360 true story about the matrix or how it started about instead of everybody being used as a

49:42.360 --> 49:45.740 battery, that they were used as a data center.

49:46.100 --> 49:52.820 And then they said that was such a, uh, uh, such a non concept of people that they had to

49:52.820 --> 49:53.500 say, Oh, okay.

49:53.500 --> 49:56.360 You're going to be used as a battery to make the story work.

49:56.860 --> 49:57.360 Um, yeah.

49:57.360 --> 49:59.560 Memory wasn't an issue.

50:00.100 --> 50:00.360 Yeah.

50:00.500 --> 50:00.800 It was.

50:01.040 --> 50:01.200 Yeah.

50:02.200 --> 50:05.480 They, they, so that they framed it that way.

50:05.480 --> 50:12.080 But what they really meant was, uh, um, Keanu Reeves already did Johnny mnemonic and

50:12.080 --> 50:17.220 they didn't want to make the matrix look like a, like a rehash of the same movie.

50:18.720 --> 50:23.840 Uh, but that, and so I was thinking, and I did a little cross-reference, you guys know

50:23.840 --> 50:24.440 Black Mirror.

50:25.000 --> 50:26.320 You ever watch your, watch that?

50:26.360 --> 50:27.880 My wife watched the hell out of that.

50:28.280 --> 50:28.620 It's weird.

50:28.720 --> 50:33.600 So, so they had that one where it was like a virtual eighties type of thing.

50:33.600 --> 50:39.380 And basically it was people that are in a hospice and people that are in mobile for whatever

50:39.380 --> 50:44.080 reason, or that they're able to live these lives in this virtual reality.

50:44.600 --> 50:51.080 So what would people be able, so like if the robots came, AI came and said, we're going

50:51.080 --> 50:55.880 to turn you into a, uh, just a storage facility and copper pot or, uh, I'm sorry, a copper

50:55.880 --> 50:57.360 top, you know, a battery.

50:58.040 --> 50:59.920 Um, that sounds awful.

50:59.920 --> 51:00.240 Right.

51:00.380 --> 51:01.940 But what if they said, Hey, you know what?

51:01.940 --> 51:02.540 You're getting old.

51:02.580 --> 51:04.380 Your body's going to deteriorate.

51:04.540 --> 51:06.440 So what did we hook you up to this thing?

51:06.680 --> 51:13.820 And for us using, you know, 80% of your brain, you get to use the 20% to live in this virtual

51:13.820 --> 51:14.840 reality world.

51:15.020 --> 51:20.680 You know, how many people would say in the words of cipher ignorance is bliss.

51:21.200 --> 51:21.600 Yeah.

51:21.680 --> 51:23.480 I mean, that is the same thing.

51:23.660 --> 51:25.200 I mean, the matrix did the same thing.

51:25.200 --> 51:27.860 It's just like, what's your body being used for on the outside?

51:28.460 --> 51:31.060 One, you know, electricity versus just storage.

51:31.060 --> 51:31.440 Right.

51:31.760 --> 51:32.040 Right.

51:32.560 --> 51:36.180 And they said that in the, I think the same problem in the matrix, they were like, Oh,

51:36.220 --> 51:40.800 we had, uh, you know, I think if you get into lore there, like there was a bunch of them,

51:40.880 --> 51:45.360 but I think in the movie, the guy, he says there was one before, but it was perfect.

51:45.360 --> 51:45.680 Right.

51:45.700 --> 51:47.540 And so people were like rejected it.

51:47.720 --> 51:51.400 So that means that your life would like some people's lives are going to be fucked up.

51:52.200 --> 51:52.560 Right.

51:53.140 --> 51:53.460 Right.

51:53.620 --> 51:55.100 So, I mean, it's the same.

51:55.380 --> 51:57.520 It's just like shitty life, no matter what.

51:57.660 --> 51:57.840 Right.

51:59.020 --> 52:00.420 But would you sign up for it better?

52:00.640 --> 52:04.140 If they, if that sheet came around today, Hey, we're working on this program.

52:04.380 --> 52:07.960 Uh, because I, I read, also I read, it's not a new concept because I read it.

52:08.020 --> 52:12.080 I was been, I came and talked, I was like on a Ray Bradbury kick.

52:12.340 --> 52:12.780 Yeah.

52:12.780 --> 52:12.780 Yeah.

52:12.780 --> 52:12.780 Yeah.

52:12.780 --> 52:12.780 Yeah.

52:12.780 --> 52:12.780 Yeah.

52:12.780 --> 52:12.780 Yeah.

52:12.780 --> 52:12.780 Yeah.

52:12.780 --> 52:12.780 Yeah.

52:42.340 --> 52:43.160 And I was like, even the spirit.

52:43.160 --> 52:47.340 So if you die, they take you and they put your consciousness in another.

52:48.060 --> 52:49.100 Oh, that's terrible.

52:49.380 --> 52:49.820 Yeah.

52:49.820 --> 52:54.860 But I'll find, I'll find the name of it, but yeah, no.

52:54.980 --> 52:55.300 Yeah.

52:55.400 --> 52:58.420 And so I would just start thinking, cause I'm getting old.

52:58.420 --> 53:00.540 And like I said, I've had, I have to play now.

53:00.540 --> 53:06.120 So it's like, man, would I be willing to be, be like, and I don't think it's like selling

53:06.120 --> 53:06.760 your soul.

53:06.960 --> 53:08.900 Cause again, you're not young anymore.

53:08.900 --> 53:12.720 You're not going to be, but how much would I want to play virtual pinball?

53:12.960 --> 53:14.640 You know how bad, cause basically that's what it is.

53:14.640 --> 53:17.620 It's like being strapped into a, a VR.

53:17.620 --> 53:18.860 Into a virtual world.

53:18.940 --> 53:19.540 That'd be crazy.

53:20.140 --> 53:21.220 Well, you wouldn't know though.

53:21.260 --> 53:21.540 Right.

53:21.720 --> 53:22.300 It's supposed to be.

53:22.300 --> 53:22.700 Well, I don't know.

53:22.700 --> 53:25.400 So you could add that to, to your thing, I guess.

53:25.480 --> 53:26.700 I guess that would be part of the contract.

53:26.700 --> 53:26.960 I can't know.

53:27.100 --> 53:28.640 If I know, then fuck that.

53:28.740 --> 53:29.020 I'm out.

53:29.740 --> 53:30.040 Yep.

53:30.140 --> 53:32.620 As soon as I figure it out and wake up like Neo, I'm fucked.

53:33.240 --> 53:34.560 Well, isn't that the whole thing though?

53:34.640 --> 53:36.460 Like where they're like, oh, deja vu.

53:36.600 --> 53:37.100 It's a thing.

53:37.160 --> 53:42.060 So there's always a little, um, things that show you that it's like, it's not real.

53:42.060 --> 53:42.500 Right.

53:42.960 --> 53:43.240 Gotcha.

53:43.780 --> 53:45.640 Isn't that the whole, I mean, that's the whole idea.

53:45.700 --> 53:47.360 The matrix is, that's the whole matrix.

53:47.460 --> 53:47.900 I love it.

53:47.980 --> 53:48.860 I mean, I love it.

53:48.900 --> 53:50.160 It's the whole thing though.

53:50.160 --> 53:53.340 But, but, but what, what, what, when the kicks you out?

53:53.360 --> 53:55.260 Cause you realize you're in the matrix.

53:55.420 --> 53:59.500 It kicks you out for 10 minutes and it says, uh, uh, hello, Mr. Graham.

53:59.640 --> 54:00.880 I'm so-and-so here.

54:00.880 --> 54:01.760 Please sign this.

54:01.820 --> 54:04.440 You're, you know, you're in a virtual reality.

54:04.540 --> 54:06.100 You realize you're in virtual reality.

54:06.200 --> 54:06.700 You're okay.

54:06.800 --> 54:07.460 Everything's fine.

54:07.540 --> 54:08.180 Everything's legal.

54:08.180 --> 54:08.700 All right.

54:09.120 --> 54:10.900 Oh, you'd lose your fucking mind, dude.

54:10.960 --> 54:12.060 You ever have one of those dreams?

54:12.060 --> 54:15.820 They just kick you to the lobby and then let you go into the next game.

54:16.280 --> 54:16.560 Maybe.

54:16.720 --> 54:17.020 Right.

54:17.560 --> 54:19.580 You know, go to eighties to the nineties.

54:19.660 --> 54:20.200 I don't know.

54:20.420 --> 54:26.560 I, I, I, and they make that, I had never watched that show they had on CBS called Upload.

54:26.620 --> 54:29.500 And it's kind of the same thing where they put people's consciousness.

54:30.160 --> 54:31.380 Oh, I watched that show.

54:31.560 --> 54:31.860 Okay.

54:31.960 --> 54:37.220 I was, that one was weird because then they started like charging them for data storage.

54:37.220 --> 54:40.300 And I was like, yeah, that a hundred percent is how that would fucking end up too.

54:40.440 --> 54:40.560 Yeah.

54:40.560 --> 54:41.000 That would be.

54:41.100 --> 54:41.280 Yeah.

54:41.280 --> 54:41.640 Exactly.

54:42.100 --> 54:46.140 We're only, you, we're only going to keep 20 years of your memories and then we're the rest

54:46.140 --> 54:46.820 you can't afford.

54:46.820 --> 54:49.880 So, but if we're the storage itself though.

54:50.080 --> 54:50.420 Yeah.

54:50.840 --> 54:52.060 No, it was usage.

54:52.060 --> 54:52.380 Right.

54:52.880 --> 54:55.440 So it was like, oh, you, you didn't pay for premium.

54:55.440 --> 54:58.260 So you only get two gigs of usage this month.

54:58.260 --> 55:03.040 Then if you use it, you're fucking frozen or you're, you're running on dial up speeds for

55:03.040 --> 55:04.020 the rest of the month.

55:06.000 --> 55:07.200 Uh, it was that move.

55:07.280 --> 55:08.360 That show was weird.

55:09.120 --> 55:09.880 I haven't seen that.

55:10.000 --> 55:10.860 But it could happen.

55:11.360 --> 55:12.000 You know?

55:12.540 --> 55:12.900 Oh yeah.

55:12.920 --> 55:13.980 You should check that show out.

55:14.000 --> 55:15.120 It started out really good.

55:16.180 --> 55:16.580 Dude.

55:16.620 --> 55:18.760 I, I have a horror scenario for everybody.

55:18.760 --> 55:19.780 Are you guys ready for this?

55:19.840 --> 55:21.300 It's, it's along the same lines, right?

55:21.720 --> 55:25.400 We talked about, um, the smart dust, right?

55:26.440 --> 55:26.740 Yeah.

55:27.440 --> 55:27.840 Yes.

55:27.920 --> 55:30.220 You guys remember Jeff, where you here when you talked about smart dust?

55:30.220 --> 55:31.100 Well, yeah, I've heard.

55:31.220 --> 55:31.520 I've heard it.

55:31.560 --> 55:31.700 Yeah.

55:31.980 --> 55:32.340 Yeah.

55:32.400 --> 55:33.600 The really small dust.

55:33.760 --> 55:34.420 The nanobots.

55:34.940 --> 55:35.100 Yeah.

55:35.540 --> 55:35.940 Nanobots.

55:35.940 --> 55:37.500 And you might be able to use for medical stuff.

55:37.560 --> 55:38.900 So we have AI now, right?

55:39.580 --> 55:49.820 What if you get the nanobots in you and AI takes over and uses you as a way to be conscious,

55:50.180 --> 55:50.400 right?

55:51.480 --> 55:55.520 Instead of like the matrix, they just use your body to be like a meat puppet.

55:55.860 --> 55:57.300 They keep you alive.

55:57.580 --> 56:00.120 You grow all your organs, keep you alive forever.

56:00.120 --> 56:00.260 Fucking meat puppet.

56:02.260 --> 56:07.200 Dude, if I, if I knew they were just going to keep me alive, I'd become a fucking awesome.

56:07.200 --> 56:08.460 But you, you have no control.

56:08.860 --> 56:10.000 They, they control everything.

56:10.340 --> 56:10.700 They, yeah.

56:10.760 --> 56:11.680 Well, then they won.

56:11.760 --> 56:13.240 Then you have nothing to worry about.

56:13.380 --> 56:13.600 Right.

56:13.640 --> 56:14.140 You're fucked.

56:14.280 --> 56:14.720 Either way.

56:14.760 --> 56:14.880 Yeah.

56:14.880 --> 56:15.680 That would kind of suck.

56:15.820 --> 56:22.940 Um, but I think just in general, I think just in general, flesh itself is just not practical

56:22.940 --> 56:25.100 to, to an AI.

56:25.760 --> 56:26.160 Why?

56:26.880 --> 56:28.920 Just because it's too much fucking work.

56:29.000 --> 56:33.520 You got to feed it and grow it and keep it from poking on metal things.

56:34.020 --> 56:36.880 I think, I think you'd be surprised, Jeff.

56:36.980 --> 56:38.380 The brain is very, very.

56:38.680 --> 56:40.220 Well, the brain, that's the only part.

56:40.300 --> 56:40.480 Okay.

56:40.480 --> 56:40.840 I'm sorry.

56:41.000 --> 56:42.280 So the brain, brain is flesh.

56:42.280 --> 56:42.600 Right.

56:42.920 --> 56:44.540 But what, what works, but that, that's it.

56:44.620 --> 56:45.220 Then the consciousness.

56:45.220 --> 56:47.820 I mean, that is the matrix things we're talking about.

56:47.940 --> 56:49.340 We're like, oh, they're keeping you alive.

56:49.340 --> 56:51.000 Bones even better than the flesh.

56:51.700 --> 56:51.780 Yeah.

56:51.880 --> 56:53.400 But what are they going to walk around in?

56:53.960 --> 56:54.240 Robot bodies?

56:54.240 --> 56:54.740 Well, they're going to.

56:55.020 --> 56:55.900 That's not cool.

56:56.300 --> 56:56.960 They're not alive.

56:57.180 --> 56:58.080 They have robot bodies.

56:58.440 --> 56:59.880 They got to get in people bodies.

57:00.280 --> 57:00.900 I gotcha.

57:01.080 --> 57:01.940 I got where you're going.

57:02.060 --> 57:02.860 You're going more, more.

57:02.920 --> 57:06.800 It's kind of, it's kind of like a, uh, uh, you got to have it type of thing.

57:07.020 --> 57:07.960 I don't know, man.

57:07.960 --> 57:09.960 I heard a, I heard a, another podcast.

57:10.480 --> 57:11.980 It's talking about a smart dust.

57:12.060 --> 57:12.980 They did a whole thing on it.

57:13.240 --> 57:17.620 And, um, and, uh, that was kind of one of the topics they brought up and that one really

57:17.620 --> 57:19.120 fucking stuck me, man.

57:19.220 --> 57:20.320 I was like, holy shit.

57:20.360 --> 57:23.420 What if we're just meat puppets for AI and we don't even know it?

57:23.420 --> 57:23.820 Right.

57:24.000 --> 57:25.860 No, you, you, you wouldn't, you wouldn't know.

57:26.120 --> 57:27.220 That's a band, isn't it?

57:27.620 --> 57:28.380 The meat puppets.

57:28.860 --> 57:29.300 It is.

57:29.380 --> 57:29.640 It is.

57:29.700 --> 57:30.400 It's a very good band.

57:31.220 --> 57:37.920 Oh, um, yeah, I, I still don't, I'm still going to say, yeah, flesh would be a, uh,

57:40.480 --> 57:46.600 a con rather than a pro for any type of, uh, uh, wait, what would they call that?

57:46.700 --> 57:52.320 Uh, uh, not, oh man, silicon, silicon type life.

57:52.680 --> 57:53.120 Yeah.

57:53.480 --> 57:54.420 Or maybe, maybe.

57:56.740 --> 58:00.080 Any type of metal life or any type of thing, like, except for the brain.

58:00.260 --> 58:00.620 You're right.

58:00.700 --> 58:02.960 The brain is the, is the magic.

58:03.700 --> 58:04.720 It is the magic.

58:05.100 --> 58:05.840 But, but is it though?

58:05.840 --> 58:07.440 Cause they show them like mushrooms.

58:07.600 --> 58:09.120 So they might skip us all together.

58:09.120 --> 58:11.800 We might already been replaced with just fucking mushrooms.

58:12.280 --> 58:15.660 You know how fungus are playing games now and learning.

58:15.780 --> 58:20.280 So they, we, we might as well, we might just fungied ourself out of a job.

58:21.680 --> 58:24.400 You, uh, a little existence.

58:24.680 --> 58:24.760 Right.

58:25.260 --> 58:29.900 Um, there's a great YouTube channel where a guy hooks mushrooms up to, um, little, uh,

58:29.900 --> 58:31.120 electronic music things.

58:31.120 --> 58:35.940 And you can hear them play, play like music as he cuts them and like does.

58:36.860 --> 58:37.880 As he cuts them.

58:37.940 --> 58:38.580 Jesus Christ.

58:38.740 --> 58:39.380 They're screaming.

58:39.480 --> 58:40.260 It's pretty horrible.

58:40.600 --> 58:40.960 They're screaming.

58:41.600 --> 58:46.920 But no, it's actually, um, like that's like, they want you to eat the fruit part, right?

58:46.920 --> 58:48.500 Like the rest of the mushrooms underneath.

58:48.500 --> 58:52.700 So that's kind of what they're supposed to do, but it, it does send pulses through them

58:52.700 --> 58:53.900 and it changes the music.

58:54.020 --> 58:54.600 It's kind of cool.

58:54.680 --> 58:57.280 Anyway, I'll shut up.

58:57.600 --> 58:58.900 No, that's awesome.

58:58.900 --> 59:00.520 Sounds terrible, but I kind of want to see it.

59:00.620 --> 59:01.200 I got wild.

59:01.200 --> 59:01.820 You know, you do.

59:02.580 --> 59:03.040 I do.

59:03.140 --> 59:08.300 Just look up mushroom hook to a MIDI or mushroom hook to synthesizer or something like that.

59:08.340 --> 59:09.780 You'll, you'll find all kinds of crazy shit.

59:11.840 --> 59:12.760 I think you're welcome.

59:13.020 --> 59:13.180 Yeah.

59:13.620 --> 59:13.980 Thank you.

59:17.840 --> 59:21.620 Do you see the, Oh, do you guys see the new, uh, body cam?

59:22.140 --> 59:23.920 I showed you guys body cam, right?

59:23.920 --> 59:24.940 That video game.

59:25.220 --> 59:25.620 Yeah.

59:25.660 --> 59:28.240 Have you seen the, uh, the zombie update?

59:28.800 --> 59:29.160 No.

59:29.760 --> 59:30.800 Oh, holy shit.

59:31.000 --> 59:32.080 Watch this, dude.

59:32.200 --> 59:32.740 Hold on.

59:34.400 --> 59:35.880 They did a zombie update.

59:36.040 --> 59:36.700 Watch this shit.

59:37.160 --> 59:38.120 I'm going to play mine too.

59:38.220 --> 59:43.360 So I'm not going to be able to hear anybody talking, but how scary is that?

59:46.040 --> 59:46.440 Yeah.

59:46.440 --> 59:47.700 That looks crazy.

59:47.940 --> 59:48.180 Yeah.

59:49.280 --> 59:51.000 Could you imagine playing that in VR?

59:52.060 --> 59:53.160 Oh, fuck dude.

59:53.360 --> 59:56.320 You know, again, this is a beta, right?

59:56.420 --> 59:59.520 This is so when they finally release, it's going to be nuts.

01:00:03.420 --> 01:00:06.180 That's creepy as fuck where they're just throwing themselves off.

01:00:08.560 --> 01:00:17.360 Oh, did you, did you see the thing where the fucking AI built a fully functional fucking video game in an hour?

01:00:18.400 --> 01:00:19.300 Yeah, dude.

01:00:20.120 --> 01:00:22.240 Video games are going to be a.

01:00:23.360 --> 01:00:26.220 Video games are going to be a thing.

01:00:26.340 --> 01:00:31.720 Video game, uh, devs and testers and everything are being laid off all over left and right.

01:00:32.060 --> 01:00:32.400 Oh, yeah.

01:00:33.680 --> 01:00:35.060 How, how cool is that game?

01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:36.680 That looks really cool.

01:00:36.900 --> 01:00:38.260 That's fucking gnarly, dude.

01:00:38.660 --> 01:00:41.420 See, I don't, I don't like, so I have.

01:00:41.500 --> 01:00:42.480 Are you not a zombie guy?

01:00:43.120 --> 01:00:44.300 No, no, I don't care about zombies.

01:00:44.300 --> 01:00:44.560 I wouldn't be able to sleep.

01:00:44.560 --> 01:00:46.140 But I have lighting issues, right?

01:00:46.300 --> 01:00:51.960 So, like when I play games, I turn the gamma up all the fucking way because I don't like dark shit.

01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:53.980 I want to be able to see every little fucking thing.

01:00:54.820 --> 01:01:01.400 And, uh, being in the dark and just getting the fucking flash from the muzzle would, no, not irritate the shit out of me.

01:01:01.660 --> 01:01:01.880 Yeah.

01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:02.560 Yeah.

01:01:02.660 --> 01:01:05.060 With a little, you'll seize your, seize out.

01:01:05.220 --> 01:01:06.760 You'll be like, oh, fuck, dude.

01:01:07.540 --> 01:01:08.160 Tip over.

01:01:08.320 --> 01:01:10.100 This game is so real, dude.

01:01:10.240 --> 01:01:11.580 I, I can't imagine.

01:01:11.940 --> 01:01:12.900 Like, it's really fucking.

01:01:12.900 --> 01:01:14.040 It's gotta give you fucking.

01:01:16.680 --> 01:01:17.680 It blows me away.

01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:18.020 Sorry.

01:01:18.100 --> 01:01:18.540 I've been watching.

01:01:18.600 --> 01:01:19.680 I'm still watching it.

01:01:20.240 --> 01:01:22.360 Those fucking zombies are nuts, dude.

01:01:23.180 --> 01:01:26.020 The fucking graphics details are ridiculous.

01:01:26.300 --> 01:01:27.040 It's crazy.

01:01:28.900 --> 01:01:29.300 Yeah.

01:01:29.340 --> 01:01:44.900 If you're ever bored, like, and you want to, uh, like see, I don't know, uh, they do these dev things where they go through exactly what they've, um, uh, like the way they, like the way the, the character falls.

01:01:44.900 --> 01:01:47.060 They, they, they redid it all of that.

01:01:47.180 --> 01:01:51.400 Like they, they, they redid it from, um, from what the engine had.

01:01:51.480 --> 01:01:52.020 You know what I mean?

01:01:53.300 --> 01:01:53.720 I don't know.

01:01:54.640 --> 01:01:55.820 I can hear somebody.

01:01:57.100 --> 01:01:57.500 Mine.

01:01:57.660 --> 01:01:57.900 Sorry.

01:01:59.180 --> 01:01:59.820 My bad.

01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:00.360 No, you're fine.

01:02:00.500 --> 01:02:00.920 You're fine.

01:02:00.980 --> 01:02:01.960 That loud as fuck.

01:02:02.400 --> 01:02:03.780 I'm still, we're still recording.

01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:07.480 I haven't shut us off yet, but, um, check this out too.
