Because Fuck You That's Why is a founding member of the Odd Pods Media Network.
0:23
H hey man, Welcome to episode one seventy four of Because Fuck You
0:44
That's Why. I am your host, Pancil Sarhen And if you can't tell
0:50
by the timber of my voice, this is gonna be a bit of a
0:53
chill show. Uh, not necessarily because we needed it. Uh. We
1:00
did just put out our first new game show in a while, and surprisingly
1:03
most everything worked. There's a couple of things to fix up, but aside
1:07
from that, still pretty pleased with it. Yeah, everything everything worked.
1:12
Um, but unfortunately for our brain and everything worked except the contestants, which
1:19
isn't really fair to rust or uncause they were spectacular. They were amazing.
1:23
Oh no, they were great. Ye like, but yeah, just I
1:27
can't believe myself. You got a couple of questions right, you were doing
1:33
fine? Yeah, so, um, in fact, you were the only
1:37
person to get a question right in the final round out of the two of
1:42
us. Yes, out of the three remaining players, he was the only
1:45
one who got a single question right. I didn't make it to that final
1:48
round, I kin. Yeah, it's it's all in good fun now.
1:53
It was great. That was an amazing show and those guys are always fun
1:56
to have. Yeah, I really do love our odd Pods partners. There
2:00
between having put forth this big new effort and the fact that we didn't have
2:05
guests line up for this particular week, and also we are going to be
2:08
guesting on a crunchy stream when we're done with this, yeah, which is
2:12
super exciting. So we didn't want to figure it that was a lot,
2:15
yeah, and we didn't want to overload each other with with a lot for
2:17
this, so we figured another show show might be in order. I'm your
2:22
host, Pancel Sharon and with me as always are these weirdos. Say hello
2:25
to the wonderful Stevie. Yo, how y'all doing? How to wake up
2:38
the band? Yeah? Right like that? Oh shit, the time to
2:43
shit, that's not as way more And haven't say any of us right now.
2:46
Yeah, we're all just kind of like we're just like, yeah,
2:49
like I'm about vibe man, I'm feeling good. Yeah, I feel amazing,
2:52
I feel I feel absolutely great. Hell yeah, shit, how you
2:55
been I'm good man, I'm good. How are you I'm doing good man?
3:00
Recovering from the surgery very well. No, longer. Really. Yeah,
3:04
it's beautiful. Walking pretty good. I can't run or anything. They
3:07
took a good chunk of stuff out. Apparently there was four surgeries done,
3:10
so yeah, I didn't realize that because I was out, Thank God.
3:14
Um, but no, it's nice. I'm I'm able to actually walk without
3:17
pain, which is really cool. Hell yeah. The downside is I cannot
3:22
sleep without pain. Every night. Since I've been in pain in my knee,
3:25
it sucks. I've been not really sleeping well. Wow, so that
3:29
part kind of blows, and I'm wondering maybe I'm just doing too much throughout
3:31
the day either that, or maybe you have to keep walking at night.
3:35
You should take up sleep walking. I used to do that, man,
3:38
and it doesn't hurt when you walk. And ever since I stopped, I
3:40
have been getting a little gut and my butt's been, you know, popping
3:43
out a little again. That jelly buddy, it's crazy. Um, but
3:46
yeah, did you say jelly buddy? Jelly? But I meant to say
3:51
jelly, But I did say buddy. I wasnt gonna cut that and fix
3:53
it. Thanks jelly belly, No jelly, but not jelly, but these
4:00
jelly belly. I want a jelly butt. All right, he's allowed to
4:05
make it a thing. If it's not a thing, it's a thing.
4:09
Hashtag jelly but yeah, let's do this. Let's push for Stevie's jelly but
4:16
I'll do it all right. Let's let's just just hashtag everything, even if
4:23
it is nothing to do with jelly or but whatever. What the s called
4:28
trending. I think Bruce McGill is great. Hashtag jelly But wait a minute,
4:33
Bruce mcgills like, what the fuck? So when do I have a
4:38
jelly butt? I guess, I guess I do. Uh and uh.
4:46
The other half of the dream team, he's a gammer and a storyteller,
4:48
and he's no longer my youngest friend. It's Aggie. He's a BT Dubs
5:16
Mexican. This. We do have the shortened version of it, and we
5:21
like it. We just didn't. We failed to put it on this I
5:25
just forgot to put it on this time before the episode. That's okay,
5:29
we'll give that one. It's last final horror. Yeah, please enjoy the
5:32
final long version of Uggies. Yeah, we've got the shorter version on the
5:38
way. Um so Auggie same. I didn't ask a question this time because
5:43
god, and what have you been up to? What are you doing lately?
5:46
Oh god, that's a question. It is a question, Fuck you,
5:49
it's Nina question, expecting I've been working. There's another ninja question.
5:56
What colors are the flags behind you? Without looking? Oh no, oh
6:00
my god, there's there's four flags behind us. There's one that's white and
6:08
one that's black. Like, I'll play right. Is it a pilate flag?
6:15
I'm sorry. I would have accepted white and red or black and white.
6:17
You didn't get me either of those. So also, there's the four
6:21
flags behind us. Yeah, technically there are rainbow color flags. We had
6:26
the Pride flag. And I just wanted to ambush you with another question because
6:29
the first one put you in so much stress. I'm like, let's push
6:30
him over the edge. Thank you. I'm trying to drive you insane.
6:34
Is it working, sir? Where have you been? It's too late.
6:40
He's already a member of this sea. I'm in the penthouse, motherfucker.
6:47
And last, but certainly not least, it is me, your humble host,
6:53
pantsless Aaron White teams you. He'll trick some stars for a laughter too.
7:10
It's just perfect. Do you know what, man? I gotta get
7:13
Now, I'm gonna get track lighting so when yours goes off, I can
7:15
do the flashing lights like the actual game show going to go off in the
7:18
yard lights You're gonna start like everybody chuckle and shy it's their own light.
7:25
Yeah, d fuck okay, yeah, yeah, I got something to plan
7:28
for next year. That's next year's project. Yea new lighting all right and
7:31
ask for me. Um So, everybody knows that I like to tinker with
7:35
tech, right, especially when it comes to like retro gaming and so yeah,
7:39
amongst other things you tinker with. Yeah, so, uh was that
7:43
sexual? It depends who's listening. Aaron, you glorious fuck of a man.
7:49
Thank you. Um So, I completely lost my train of thought.
7:57
Now it's gone. That's what you get from the two questions. You're well
8:03
done, sir. Yea god damn it book. So the fuck it,
8:13
I'm gone now it's completely out of my brain. The contact highest. I
8:18
like to tink what I do, and I've been so broke lately because I've
8:22
been putting everything into like publishing and uh marketing my book. Yeah, I
8:31
have spent five hundred dollars on my trailer alone. To give you any idea.
8:35
Wow, two hundred and fifty of that is for a single five second
8:41
shot animation. Yes, yeah, yeah, I mean so yeah, this
8:48
stuff is fucking pricing. Yeah, and I have been too broke to take
8:52
up my usual. Well let's see what I can, you know, build
8:56
out of an old PC. Let's see what I can build out of this
8:58
crappy thing from Elie Express, you know whatever. M but I actually have
9:03
been buying stuff. It's just like on the cheaper end, you know.
9:07
So, um, like two months ago, I was in the mood to
9:13
try a new handheld. Um, so I ordered the Retroid Pocket Flip.
9:20
What's that one? So it's a little uh, it's a little handheld gaming
9:24
machine but uh it's it's like a DS and that the screen is in top
9:28
that you flip up. Okay, cool, all the controls around the bottom
9:31
but yeah, all the controls around the bottom part screens on the top.
9:35
Um. And this thing actually for the price, it's only like two hundred
9:39
dollars after all of a sudden done, I think it's one fifty to go.
9:43
But I've also got a case and like the the handheld rubberized grip for
9:46
it. Well, yeah, I mean if you're gonna get it, and
9:48
this is only the place you're gonna get it from, anyway, you must
9:50
get it, Yeah, you might as well. Might as well do it
9:52
all at once. So wound up going from one fifty to two hundred or
9:56
so. Okay, and that's after taxes and shipping, um. And that
10:00
was two months ago. Roughly one month ago. I was like, you
10:05
know what I should play with? I should try because I'm so broke.
10:09
I'm just gonna go for like the bottom of the barrel, Like, what's
10:11
the absolute cheapest thing that I can get that is super popular right now?
10:16
So I basically went on Alley Express and I sorted by most sales under video
10:22
game consoles h and I bought the cheapest one out of the top ten,
10:28
which was a twenty four dollar little Hdmi stick that you plug into your TV
10:37
and it comes with a little USB dongle u two crappy Bluetooth controllers. Uh
10:45
and uh and uh. You know that didn't even come in a box.
10:48
Came in a bag. Yes, yes, shit, and I am.
10:52
I'm getting to the point of the story, but I'm going to move forward
10:56
from here because on somewhere between then and fourth I went, you know what,
11:01
I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna need more money. I have all these computers
11:03
literally lying around my house, right, I'm like, and nobody's using them.
11:09
They're just sitting there. They might as well go to good home.
11:13
So I'm like, I should just sell this shit. So I went on
11:15
Facebook and I made a post. I'm like, I've got these five computers.
11:18
If you want them, you know, just make me a good price.
11:22
I put up like a price that was like at least like a hundred
11:26
dollars under what I would charge on eBay to to fit in with the crowd
11:31
of people selling similar things on eBay. UM. So I basically looked at
11:35
what these things would go for, charge them under one hundred dollars last,
11:39
just try and get them outdoor. Um. And I got a bunch of
11:41
buyers. Didn't sell everything, but I sold the three the computers, including
11:46
the Mini Beast that I was talking about last time we did a chill show
11:50
and I got to talk about tech. Um, so that's going to a
11:52
good home. Yea. Yeah. And I made a bunch of money really
11:58
quick, and I was like, all right, that's cool, but I
12:01
know there are better Mini PCs out there than the Mini Beast. And I
12:05
know this because one came out almost as soon as i'd bought it, and
12:09
I was so mad that I was like, oh, son of a bitch,
12:11
if i'd waited a week, So you know, part of it was
12:16
definitely like kind of a little bit of buyer's remorse, like I could have
12:18
just bought this one if I just waited, But I had no idea it
12:22
was going to come out. That's the thing, and that's what sucks.
12:24
It happens to everybody if I would have just waited. Nobody fucking knows that.
12:30
Nobody does. You can't beat yourself up for day ship man. So
12:33
anyway, long story short, I bought the top of the line, at
12:41
least I think there actually is one that's higher. But I'm like that one's
12:46
insane. That's like twelve hundred bucks. I'm like, that's too much.
12:50
The MINIPC that I could the best Mini PC I could get for what I
12:54
considered a reasonable price, which was seven hundred and fifty dollars. Uh.
13:01
Yeah, it is. It is a It is a Mini PC. It
13:05
has a nine twelve nine Uh, it has a thirty fifty TI graphics chip
13:16
with eight gigs of v rams um and the rest of it was bare bones.
13:24
Uh no, not slower, not slow, okay, uh it was
13:33
bare bones, which meant I got to choose how much RAM and stuff it
13:39
had. And I was surprised to learn that you can get thirty two gigs
13:45
of DDR four RAM for fifty bucks. Shit. Uh yeah, uh yeah,
13:52
RAM and uh SSD prices have been falling like crazy, to the point
13:58
where I bought a two terabyte SSD for this thing. Mind you, this
14:03
thing had two NVMe SSD slot. That's nice. You don't worry about mechanicals.
14:09
But I got a two terabyte SSD for this thing for fifty bucks.
14:13
Oh sorry, it was forty five. It was Intel branded, it's not
14:18
it's not like the newest ship. But Intel's not gonna screw this stuff up.
14:22
No, I mean it's gonna work. It's gonna store your ship.
14:24
You're fine, Yeah, I'm gonna work. Yeah. And I got and
14:31
because it has a PCIe three point zero NVM slot and a PCIe four point
14:35
zero and VME slot, I also got a two terabyte and VME four point
14:43
zero, which is blistering fast. Yes, that that is the main hard
14:48
drive for Windows. Right, yes, and then on top of that,
14:52
the device still supports one two point five inch hard drive? Are you serious?
14:58
And I had a two terabyt thing line around, So this mini PC
15:03
has six terabytes of storage in it. So let me ask you something.
15:09
Yes, is this now your primary PC? No? I want to build
15:15
some shit? Yeah? I did want to. I did just want to
15:18
build some shit. I'm starting to think I enjoyed the active building pecs more
15:22
than I do actually gaming on them. I do enjoy testing games out and
15:26
playing them, but I've hardly ever played anything to completion. Right, Um,
15:30
well, what have you thought about just doing this as your career?
15:33
Just building? It's it's not a workable career, not really, just costwise.
15:37
Yeah, unless I start like an actual company and start selling like nationwide,
15:43
then maybe, because then you get like the wholesale prices and yeah,
15:46
yeah, and other things along that nature. But I am no good at
15:50
business e shit, and I've I've asked it's It's not a job in it
15:54
to just build computers all day. I wish it work. I wish to
16:00
got it where I have so much fun taking these things apart, putting it
16:03
back together and go and going, oh my god, it works, it's
16:06
amazing. Six terabites. What the fuck? You know what? You should
16:10
look into those actually look into those gaming sites that build the computers, like
16:15
you could work for the site that way you are just yeah, maybe so,
16:18
um, it'd be kind of cool. So if you get in,
16:21
let me know. I told the story and the kind of haphazard jumping forward
16:25
in time way that I did. Yeah, because despite ordering these things like
16:27
two months, one month, like one week apart, they all arrived on
16:32
virtually the same day, all three of them. So the Retroid pocket flip
16:37
showed up yesterday, the the the HDMI GameStick light for twenty four dollars showed
16:45
up the day before, uh and uh, and the the the the mini
16:51
PC showed up a last weekend. Awesome. Um, So it's just been
16:56
chaos, like I have too much to play with and I don't know what
17:00
to do. I need more hands. Never mind, I was gonna say
17:04
I can go written more detail, but I think we've been talking long enough
17:07
to take a short break. Should we do that? Yeah? All right,
17:11
So we'll be back for a part two and I'll explain in further detail
17:15
about these delightful machines Right after this. Hi, I'm Tina how Tomeo and
17:29
I'm Hilary Dougherty and we host The Muck Podcast where we discussed the dark and
17:33

17:41
badge and it worked? Or how a gun control advocate senator out of California

Yes, so absolutely you are allowed and welcomed to do so. No,
20:00
don't feel pressured that you have to um, but we can always a question.
20:03
You always appreciate when you do. I think I think that our fans
20:07
have had enough to questions for a little while. Let's ease off on that
20:12
and hold off till the next time we have a boor's leg they what the
20:21
absolute um? Okay, Well, anyway, so back to my story.
20:26
So I have these three devices and I've played with them all too more or
20:30
less of a degree. I'll start with the one. No, I'll start
20:36
with the one that i've that I've used the lease and actually just got yesterday.
20:41
I just got the Retroid Pocket flip Um, which is really cool.
20:47
It feels really good in the hands, like it's a good solid build.
20:48
I got the Indigo one, so it kind of looks like the same colors
20:52
that that Nintendo GameCube when it first came out. Uh, and I just
20:57
really like the look of it. Cool, and it's got white buttons and
21:02
dpad and you know, all the buttons are white sticking out it so it
21:03
looks good, really good. This thing has it has I can't remember the
21:10
exact model of the chip, but it's a it's a stronger mobile chip to
21:14
the point where it can actually play some PS two in GameCube games. Really
21:18
yeah, so this thing is pretty mean. The problem that I'm currently having
21:22
with it is I'm still in the kind of install and setup phase with this
21:26
device, in that I'm trying to get files over to it. But it's
21:30
an Android device that doesn't have a camera, so a lot of the tools
21:34
that I would use to move tools over to, even things like hooking it
21:40
up via USB, I'm having a weird issue where it's just constantly connecting and
21:44
disconnecting, and I think it's causing an issue with the USB port in particular.
21:48
Question for you, you might go, can you hook up a USB
21:52
camera to it like a webcam? Because I also have the readers. I
21:55
don't know. I don't know. I could try it, except I don't
22:00
think I have a camera that has a USBC, which it would need to
22:04
do one of those mods. I don't have an adapted damn dongle, No
22:11
dingle, your dongle, damn it, So what the fuck that's an extremely
22:22
old callback. Yeah, so good fun. So anyway, Yeah, I
22:30
really like to look in the feel of it. I haven't really played with
22:32
it all that much, Like, like I said, I'm still trying to
22:33
get runs over to it and whatnot. But I have good feelings about it.
22:37
It's gonna be pretty solid. It's like a mid tier thing. It's
22:40
gonna be much more easily pocketable and transportable than the Steam Deck. That's nice,
22:45
Like, like I love the steam Deck, but it is a big
22:48
boy. Yeah, it's a big boy with us, right, yeah yeah,
22:52
yeah, and I yeah, but I only ever used it in the
22:56
hotel room because bringing that thing around in public is ridiculous. Yeah, Like
23:00
it's just too huge, and it's it's just not it's not It's not as
23:07
portable as I would like. You know, when when you think like portable
23:11
handheld, you're like something I can carry in my hands, take it with
23:15
me and put and keep my shirt pocket, take it to the bathroom,
23:18
whatever, you know. But them will not fit in anybody's pocket. Just
23:23
won't unless you're like the Jolly Green Giant or the Big Show or something,
23:26
right, and you just got massive pockets. Actually, the Gameboy Color was
23:30
way better for carrying around. It could fit in your pocket, no problem.
23:34
I don't know my problem with the Game Boy Advances there was square yeah,
23:38
well at least the flip top one was square top one. But that
23:42
was the better one to have all things considered to have backlight on it anyway,
23:48
So I haven't played too much with that. However, I have put
23:49
a good amount of time into the GameStick Light, which was twenty four dollars
23:55
and came in a bag. Didn't even come in a box. The cheapest
24:02
bullshit ever. It had two like extremely fragrant controllers, like you can see
24:08
the fucking chemicals plastic and my holy shit, yeah yeah they would definitely like
24:19
the bag might corrosive materials, cancers, materials. Yeah, I have no
24:27
idea, but but surprisingly, like the controllers had solid like rubber buttons for
24:34
the pressing and so the actual feel the controller is not that bad. Um
24:41
and I set it up, got everything set up. It came with like
24:44
a sixty four gigabyte SD card already filled full games. Uh, and then
24:49
I plugged it in using an extender because the thing was like this fat and
24:55
would not like my my TV has like h M, hm h all really
25:00
close together, can't fit one of these chunky boys in between. So I
25:03
was like, all right, well, thankfully they include an HDMI extender for
25:07
just such a case. So yeah, that's smart. And I can't believe
25:14
it came in a package for twenty four bucks. But uh so I actually
25:17
stander plugged it in, plugged the USB stick in to power it to the
25:21
TV, which is good because I have USB port on my TV that does
25:23
nothing. So I'm like, all right, yeah, just just leave it
25:26
here and leave it powered all the time. Uh, that will never go
25:30
wrong. Um and uh and UH got some triple A batteries and tossed them
25:37
into the chief ass controllers. Uh, turned the controller on and plugged everything
25:41
in and went to HTMI one and fucking hell it worked. Um. It's
25:45
like a it's like a really colorful menu, and it's got the list of
25:48
the games, and it starts with like there's ten games per page. There's
25:52
one thousand, forty nine pages. So there's ten thousand, four hundred ninety
25:57
games on this thing, every version of every type of game. And yeah,
26:00
and here's the absolute best part. They've all been horribly mistranslated. Oh
26:07
yeah, So the menu actually does have a search function, but good fucking
26:14
luck using it, honest to god, because Streets of Rage is called bad
26:21
Man Punch bad Dude. Oh my god, that's amazing, you know.
26:26
So that just but and here's like you would scroll down and see all sorts
26:33
of weird ass shit like I scrolled down, got to oh like Sonic the
26:36
Hedgehog too, scroll down to it. It's highlighted. The screenshot is from
26:41
Streets of Age two. I'm like, what what the fuck? Uh?
26:45
So, you know, there's all sorts of weirdness and wonkiness attached to this.
26:49
So I'm like, the gameplay can't be that good. It just literally
26:53
can't. And I started by booting up an arcade game, Street Fighter Alpha
26:57
three. Okay, worked great. Oh shit, actually was played perfectly smoothly.
27:03
Um, it was a little stretched, but then street Fire off the
27:06
three is a little wider than usual. Um four by three eight ratio.
27:11
I think I'm not sure, um, but the controls were not awful,
27:17
Like it was hard to pull off like a fireball with the dpad, but
27:19
I could do it perfectly fine with the analog stick. Really, yeah,
27:22
everything when I played with the analog stick it was smooth, It was perfect.
27:26
It was absolutely perfect. The buttons were responsive, granted they were they
27:30
were like configured really weirdly, like it was just like the low and medium
27:37
kick for the face buttons, which has never been my favorite arrangement. I
27:41
always like to have one of the hard buttons on the front so I can
27:44
have those at my back and call whenever. Um. But there's a menu
27:48
that allows you to configure those. You can even save in load game states,
27:52
really like you can actually save. Yeah, this this thing is shockingly
27:59
decent for the twenty four dollars I paid for it. Um and most of
28:03
the other systems turned out the same way. I played through Contra. I
28:06
had no problems like ducking or aiming in a diagonal with the dpad, even
28:11
though I had trouble with it playing fighting games. It was fine for Contra,
28:15
which is so I don't I genuinely don't know um in any in any
28:21
of it. I expected it to be horrible after the fighting game debacle,
28:23
but it was fine. UM. So I played that. I played,
28:26
Say, Genesis, Gameboy, game Boy Color games all worked great. Atari
28:30
twenty six hundred UM. The only one that is a serious problem is Super
28:36
Nintendo. Um, well, no, there's there's another one, but I'll
28:40
there's another two, but I'll get to that. The Super Nintendo has a
28:42
problem that the games play fine, but for some reason, the bottom button,
28:48
the B button, it's not configured at all and you can't reconfigure it,
28:52
so you are stuck to using like the top three buttons and like the
28:56
L one L t R two. But there are some games that you can't
29:03
you can't configure, like for example, Super Mario World will always use that
29:08
button as jump. I mean, you could probably get through using the spin
29:11
jump on button he instead, maybe, But like if the game doesn't have
29:17
a way for you to configure it so that the bottom button doesn't do something
29:19
important, you might be in trouble. I was able to play Super Metroid
29:25
by configuring jump to do the top button and shoot to be left and then
29:29
dashed to be the right button, which was a little weird and took a
29:33
little getting used to, but I could play it at least, so it's
29:36
not perfect by any means. Game Boy Advance also plays, but I can't
29:41
recommend it. It's jankie and suttery and the sound sounds awful like it's just
29:48
I don't think this thing is strong enough to handle it. And they also
29:52
had PlayStation one games on an air. Now here's the funny part is,
29:57
like Castlemania the Night played fine right up until Richter started talking to Dracula in
30:03
that cut scene, his speech bubble popped up and his name appeared, and
30:07
then it froze. I just crashed right there, and I was like,
30:11
oh, that's not a good sign. Now here's the thing is this thing
30:18
might be hackable. Yeah, because I found on a Russian forum there is
30:27
a firmware that can be used to upgrade the device so it can play more
30:33
systems and it will use retro Arch as a as an operating system sort of
30:40
thing, kind of like Lacca is on the PC. It's an operating system
30:44
that just runs retro Arch. But but this is specifically built for this device.
30:49
And I was like, oh shit, so I'm gonna try hacking it
30:52
and see if I can give it a little more functionality. But as it
30:56
is, as it stands, I definitely would think you could get twenty four
31:00
dollars worth of enjoyment out of this thing, right, Like it is shockingly
31:03
okay for the price. Like if if this. Were this were forty fifty
31:08
bucks, I'd be a little pissed. I'd be a little pissed. But
31:14
the fact that this is twenty five bucks and it works, like most of
31:18
it just works, and it has a lot of functions and features that you
31:22
know, you would buy other devices that cost this much and not get,
31:26
you know, But I guess there's a reason why this is among the top
31:29
selling because it's actually got some good stuff in it. So yeah, that
31:33
was the biggest surprise. And then of course my Mini PC. I've just
31:37
spent like the past week filling six terabytes of games. I've barely I've barely
31:42
tested it just because I've spent so much time in selling shit right, Like
31:48
it has so many Like I played one game to just to test out,
31:51
just to see No, that was a Spider Man remask. Oh yeah,
31:56
you were working on that while we were playing this. Yeah, I was
32:00
installing it while I was playing them, because installing takes fucking forever. But
32:07
I have successfully filled almost all six arbytes the Machinea Ship, and I expect
32:14
to spend most of the end of today and Sunday just kind of going through
32:19
the Mini PC and seeing how performances. After playing Spider Man, I have
32:22
no doubts whatsoever. It's going to perform like a fucking dream. I mean
32:27
an I nine twelfth gen. It's not that old at all. It's a
32:30
couple of years at best, and it's up to five gig hurts and speed
32:35
is super powerful with thirty two gigs of RAM to back it up and a
32:38
thirty fifty I mean it's a thirty fifty, but it is a thirty fifty
32:43
TI and it has the extra four gigs of VRAM on top. Right,
32:46
it's pretty much running a double video. It's it's gonna handle. It's gonna
32:51
handle what I wanted to handle, Like I expect this thing to run cyberpunk
32:54
at high details. Nice. Um, So I complayed it, I'm excited
33:00
to try it. Yeah, cyberbunk anything is beautiful game. Oh absolutely,
33:06
yeah, definitely. So it's so it's so easy one, It's so easy
33:09
to get lost in and just wander around and look at shit. Yeah,
33:15
it's the reason why I keep coming back to it, even though I don't
33:16
really do much beyond like a certain time. Every time I see him streaming,
33:21
he's starting a new character. Help myself I'm never satisfied with how the
33:25
character is. Once you got it, you got it. Yeah. So
33:30
you said you didn't have much. I talked about it. I didn't have
33:34
a whole lot, just because I've been working mostly. Yeah. Um,
33:37
but I do have something that is we're both work related and new and interesting.
33:44
I had ordered an electric bike, oh yeah, to help me get
33:47
to and from work because work wasn't that far from my house, so I
33:51
don't need to I don't need a full fledged vehicle for that. Um and
33:57
God willing. It's supposed to show oh today, Yeah, we've been waiting.
34:05
It's like it's coming FedEx so it could show up like eight o'clock at
34:09
nion. Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it because one, it'll
34:16
give me a little bit more mobility, um, amen. But also it
34:22
I was dreading the day that I'd have to walk into work, just like
34:25
an absolute emergency, Like there's no way of getting to work any other way,
34:30
but to walk into work. It's not going down the hill coming back
34:36
up at the end of the day. So getting an electric pike will give
34:39
me that a little electric to get back up that hill. Yeah, the
34:43
steep ass hill that we live on Yeah, the company, high boy,
34:49
high boy. Yeah, the things freaking mean, like you remember the specs
34:53
on it all? No, No, all I know is that it's got
34:58
like thirty miles to a bad hurry, right, thirty to forty miles on
35:02
a single charge, which is freaking more than what he needs. But I
35:07
mean he could easily get into either town. No, I can get into
35:10
town and back. Yeah, I mean either one is what I'm saying.
35:13
Like each everyone you wanted to get to, you can pretty much get there
35:15
and back without a problem. Yeah. And the thing it's pretty heavy duty.
35:19
It's got like the big fat tires on it, so you can write
35:21
it through all the terrain like it it said everything like obviously street, grass,
35:25
mud, sand, snow like all of it. It's like, okay,
35:29
that's fucking cool. And the frames like just s thirty. I think
35:31
it's like an eighty pound bike or some shit. Yeah, yeah, it's
35:37
it's it's a little bit lighter than me. So it's like one hundred and
35:42
ten. No that was the other one. Yeah, the other one was
35:45
heavy, Yeah, something like that. But the thing is freaking beefy,
35:49
and you can obviously have attachments and stuff, and I think that one.
35:52
Just you just plug into a wall outlet like six hours it's charged. But
35:59
it's gonna be cool. He's been like excited and just waiting for Yeah,
36:04
it's going to be fun going down the hill. I can't wait. Man,
36:08
it's gonna be awesome. I remember not to do the electric pedal assist
36:14
going down the hill. Oh my god. No, just yeah. The
36:19
hills pretty steep, pretty really the one at the only time I ever get
36:24
a speeding ticket, got a bike. Holy trap. You could, dude,
36:30
you better be caref not down there. You'll be fine. I laugh.
36:34
Though if you went down there she to like sixty, I wouldn't.
36:39
It'll be wild. All right, Well that's all you got high? All
36:47
you talk about how high you got Today the fucking air riser kicked my ass.
36:53
So normally our pre pre show is we get our air Riser EXQ two,
37:00
you all set up, heat it up with some homegrown herb, and
37:02
we got it set up. We got a new bag, so we filled
37:06
up the bag before Aaron got here today, and we walked outside hit the
37:08
bag a couple of times each and Aggie like, we're looking at our plants
37:14
that we planted in front of the BFI studio, like, man, man,
37:16
those these are pretty big, and we're sitting there for a couple minutes,
37:19
and as we realized how high we were, like we hit this thing
37:22
like just we finished the one bag, which I don't know we did two
37:24
bags. We did two bags, but we were so high man, I
37:28
felt like I was like just chilling, like I've been chilled like this level
37:31
for a long ass time. But Aggie, I don't know, man,
37:35
you seem really fucking out of it because you were just like, dude,
37:38
are you as high as me? Or some ship like that? And I'm
37:42
like, what do you mean. I'm like, I'm feeling and I'm pretty
37:44
high, man. I feel really good right now. I'm not feeling pain.
37:45
He's like really fucking high man. And I was like, okay,
37:50
he's like the arraizer kicks the shit out of me or something like that.
37:52
And I'm like, okay, oh mean, that's a I wish we hadn't
37:55
recorded, because that would have been like the perfect advertiser for advertisement for these
38:00
guys. I'm like, just play this dude. What he's talking about right?
38:01
This is how high I am. Now. I don't remember any of
38:04
that you don't. We just got back in here. We're just talking like,
38:07
man, are you high still? Yeah, he's high, and you
38:09
showed up like so pretty fucking baked. This thing's fucking beefy yoh. If
38:15
you need a fucking herb herb fucking vaporizer, get the air azor, my
38:19
man, it doesn't like set off smoke detectors. You're not burning all that
38:23
shit and you get big like a mofo. Yeah. I feel like part
38:32
of me is like, we should write something better, and part of me
38:35
is like, no, no, it's not gonna get any better than No,
38:37
there's fucking stone. This is perfect as stoned as fuck. This ship
38:43
gets you stoned as fuck. Listen, they knew what they were gonna get
38:45
into. This is their fault. They sent it to us. They had
38:51
to have checked us out for us now, but they're just like, ah,
38:53
sure whatever to send it to these fools. All right, Well,
38:58
with that unpaid ad out of the way, let's go for Well, I
39:02
guess technically you were paid because you were given one. As a I would
39:07
say, all right, it's a's at. It's a message from our about
39:13
our partners correctly the way foot we're gonna go to a quick break. We'll
39:19
be right back right after this. Hey you there, We've got a question
39:32
for you. Are you tired of clickbait stories and the loudest voices driving discussions
39:37
and culture and entertainment. If so, I'm Dylan, I'm Kendall, and
39:42
I'm Corey, and we host the podcast From the Middle. We're middle class
39:45
guys living in the middle of America. In the middle chapters of our lives
39:50
with points of view Somewhere in the middle. We take a more reasonable and
39:53
centrist approach in our discussions, covering genres like comedy, culture, entertainment,
40:00
and interviews with really interesting folks like business owners, comic creators, doctors,
40:05
news anchors, New York Times best selling illustrators, professional stand up comics,
40:09
and more. We really value a relaxed and conversational podcast, one that we
40:15
hope is so fun and laid back you'll forget you're not actually hanging out with
40:20
us. So search at from the Midpod just like it sounds, or check
40:24
us out everywhere you can find podcasts What Up Man. Welcome back for Part
40:40
three, where we're just going to chill and hang out and talk to Stevie,
40:45
whoa We covered what I've been up to, and we covered what Augie's
40:50
almost been up to. Yeah, I'll hopefully get it today. I can
40:53
tell us all about it next time. I just don't live a very exciting
40:57
lad. You don't have to. Yeah, it's all good, dude.
41:00
The podcast, you can talk about the things that you take interest in.
41:04
Yeah, that's that's pretty much all I do. Um, So, Stevie,
41:09
what are the things you have decided to take an interest in these past
41:13
few weeks? Holy crap, there's been so much. I mean, I
41:15
know you've been like sort of not hobbled, but repating. Yeah, you've
41:22
been. You've been resting and relaxing in the wake of your in the wake
41:25
of your surgery. So how did that go? And like what did you
41:30
get up to as you were convalescing as it were, Um, it went
41:34
very very well. Luckily, I had multiple surgeries on my knee and everything
41:37
worked out very well. I am in way less pain than I have been
41:42
in the last few years, which is amazing. It's awesome. So I'm
41:45
recuperating very good. I'm not using a cane to walk as I was previous
41:50
to the surgery, so I'm feeling pretty good. Very happy. Um,
41:53
I'm able to actually get things done again and obviously come down here and do
41:58
the show with you guys again. So that was nice that week I missed.
42:00
I was really sad I missed, but at the same time I laughed
42:04
my ass off editing. So thank you guys very much for that. That
42:07
was pretty the songs like I didn't know she was going to go for it
42:15
and what you did, I'm like, shit, all that pressure. I
42:19
had no pressure up until the fact that she did it first. I'm like,
42:22
no, no, I gotta do it. So if you didn't catch
42:24
that one, that was the episode of Kyla that Aaron and Augie did when
42:29
I was unable to get down to the studio that day. But holy crap,
42:34
go back and listen to it if you did not, because it's amazing.
42:36
It's definitely one of the funnier things I've heard. I mean, Stevie
42:39
the Musical, Stevie the Musical. That's literally all I should have to say.
42:45
You shouldn't go right now and listen to that episode because holy shit,
42:51
yeah it was. It was great, Like seriously, but other than just
42:54
wresting up getting ready so I could get back upstairs because the replacement computer finally
43:00
came in, so I've been downstairs waiting to just open it up and like
43:05
tear into it. So we got the replacement. Everything is good. We
43:07
are no longer having a beef. So you guys can lay off of Dell.
43:13
You can stop sending that messages. It's cool, it's appreciative. But
43:15
you guys did what you needed to do, and I love you all for
43:17
it because they caved bitches. Um No, yea, now they we had
43:25
an agreement and it worked out well. But the new computer is nice.
43:28
Um. We were able to play at least one game with the other payday
43:30
once I got it up and you were working on yours. Um. And
43:34
then since then, I've been installing tons of games. Um, specifically,
43:38
I know Augie has been playing this game a lot. Battle Bit which is
43:45
I'm sure this is gonna get in to talk. Yeah, I'm sure this
43:47
has been going around like everyone's heard about it. Now. This game is
43:52
like ridiculously good and it's made by three dudes, and it looks like Roadblocks
44:00
but plays like any Triple A, like like Battlefield shoot, Massive Shooter.
44:07
Yeah out there. It's it's crazy and it just goes to show you it
44:12
ain't the fucking graphics. If as long as the gameplay is good, people
44:15
will like your game. Yeah, and I know we mentioned it last time.
44:17
The game is a lot of fun. And again, if you can
44:21
get past the blocky graphics, which I easily could have because of how good
44:24
the gameplay and the controls were, I didn't. I don't care. And
44:29
the best part about this game versus where I play Call of Duty or Battlefield
44:32
or something, I'm not getting mad dying in this game because it's so whatever
44:36
a roadblocks, guy just gotta shout whatever. Whereas I'm playing Call of Duty,
44:38
I'll get fucking mad or some shit and somebody who was sniped me from
44:42
across the map and I couldn't see him or something. This one, I'm
44:44
like, all right, whatever, it's fine. It's definitely team base,
44:47
which is cool, and they're updating it constantly. There's new patches almost every
44:52
week, and anything that you could purchase in the game is only cosmetic.
44:57
There's no you can purchase like weapons with attachments or anything like. The only
45:01
thing you can buy are cosmetics. The cool thing about that that Augie found
45:05
out is after you're done selling those cosmetics. That was not this one.
45:09
I thought it was. Oh that's the other one. Yeah, my bad.
45:13
I don't want to say that wrong one. That's the area I want
45:15
to talk about. After this shoot, I got confused. Um. But
45:17
battle Bid is still throwing out the updates almost every week. They just had
45:21
a new patch come out. And the cool thing about that one is you
45:24
level up or you can unlock your weapons by your rank, but each weapon
45:30
there's multiple unlocks. Reach weapon that you get for using the weapon, you
45:34
have to unlock it. Yeah, so it's like, if you want that
45:36
new scope, you best work on your weapon and get used to it and
45:39
start working your way down to get that scope. But it's nice because once
45:43
you actually are able to customize it and you get you seer rifle or whatever,
45:46
you become almost unstoppable. At one match, ended up with like forty
45:50
sniper kills because I finally found out how to snipe properly. I'm like,
45:53
oh my god, I know how to check distance now in this stupid game,
45:57
and as a range finder, I'm like, all right now, I'm
45:59
like people, and it's great. Um, if you want to get on
46:02
battle bit, let us know. It's amazing it's like fifteen bucks on team
46:08
if you want to support them, and there are other stuff. I think
46:12
it's another fifteen bucks for their cosmetic package if you cool skins for your guns
46:16
and stuff, but nothing that boost your character aside from battle. Did you
46:22
have anything to add on that one. No. The other game that I
46:24
was getting confused with that we've been playing is on Xbox Game Pass and it
46:30
is Deep Rock Galactic, the dwarf game. Yeah, holy fuck we He's
46:35
like, you want to play Deep Rock? I was like, yeah,
46:37
I'll redownload it on this I would spend a while. Since we played it,
46:38
I never even the highest level character I had was like fifteen. Like
46:42
it wasn't remember playing a ton. We played one night and that game is
46:46
so fucking addicting. I needed so much fun, man Like, I can't
46:51
stop playing. And I even even got to the part where I can promote
46:52
any of my four guys. But I'm actually switching between characters like these.
46:57
I was like, oh, I'm gonna be this guy. It's like,
46:58
okay, cool, I'll played this one. Then I care about just leveling
47:00
up my mane. I was like, I don't mind switching, which for
47:04
me is huge. Usually when I play a game, I'm one of those
47:07
guys like, no, I make one character and this is what I play,
47:09
and yeah, and that's it. Like I don't like doing multiple characters.
47:14
But when this game, like when I'm playing with Aggie or our roommates
47:16
Cybernetic and shit, it's like, I don't mind switching. I'll play.
47:21
I'll play the fucking drill. I'll just dig holes. I don't give a
47:22
fuck. I get to shoot bugs and drill holes. I'm happy as fuck
47:25
right now. And it's cool because you're like, you're it's a stupid resource
47:29
hunting game. That's all this is. It's it's simple, it's it's it's
47:32
first person. You get to buy beer before you go onto into these things.
47:37
You get the dance with your friends and drink, and then you get
47:39
to go into these asteroids and mine and shoot bugs and it's so much fun.
47:46
What oh oh you can't play. Crap? Well I could play.
47:52
I just can't play with you. Oh crap. Oh because you got it
47:55
on Steam. Yeah, yeah, it's not game Pass. We'd have to
47:59
see if steams got it on sale. It goes on sale. When it
48:06
goes on sale on Steam, like it's like ten bucks when it goes grab
48:08
it because the ten bucks. That's that's fine, that we can play and
48:10
we'll just have two versions of the game, right, yeah, whatever,
48:14
you want to raise our ship or wonder if you'd still have the same account.
48:16
No, it'd be a different account. You'd start have to start over.
48:20
But honestly, we're not that far ahead anyways. It's true. But
48:24
yeah, that game has been a riot, and it seems like they're adding
48:27
new stuff to Deep Rock as well all the time. They have a battle
48:30
pass type of thing as well, you can unlock. It's just all cosmetics.
48:34
It's all on locks, um that are porectically free from that. If
48:37
you don't want to pay for you can still get everything. Um. This
48:42
is the one that you said that the cosmetics, if you didn't purchase them
48:45
while they were active or whatever, they become deactive for purchase. But yeah,
48:50
a lot of the battle pass ones and the cosmetics, if you fail
48:52
to unlock them, um during the season or whatever, and they move on
48:57
to that season, they instead allow you to ran unlocked them through chests and
49:00
loot throughout the game. So even if you didn't get them that season whatever,
49:05
you'll get them eventually. Yeah, you just play the game and you'll
49:07
get him in the game. So it's like, that's pretty fucking neat.
49:09
I like that shit, and it's cartoony and it's fun and it's just a
49:14
fun you don't have to think type of game and to do it with your
49:17
friends is great. Um. Other than I've been playing a lot of Call
49:22
of Duty again because they unlocked the new season and I've been on that and
49:25
I got this new stupid overpowered shotgun and I am destroying everybody. I took
49:30
on a team afore today by myself, and if I had the right vest
49:35
on, I probably would have gotten I've had that stephone because none wouldn't no
49:37
more. Fuck I was. But it's like an AA twelve. It's a
49:39
fully automatic shotgun that has sixteen rounds and three barrels on it that rotate.
49:45
Is it shooting? It's insane, like a weird try bar shotgun. It's
49:51
like, which would end up like springboarded us being like, wait, try
49:57
bar, that's a real thing, right, yeah, it is Google like
50:00
real quick and then shoot we found this tribe or shotgun. It's a break
50:04
action. You break up. It's real. It's got like two triggers,
50:08
like, it's got a four trigger and a rear trigger. The four trigger
50:12
fires the two um left and right barrels, but the rear triggers the one
50:15
that fires the third under barrel one. It's just fucking cool now. It
50:21
just reminded me of a shotgun from I think Resume of five called the hydra
50:27
Yes and it had three barrels side by side. Yeah. Yeah, I
50:30
was like, that was fucking tight. That was like, man, that's
50:34
the first thing I thought. We started looking up the real one, like
50:37
tribal assume that's what it was going to be. Like you're gonna say borerlands.
50:40
I mean, Borderlands got some fun designs as well, but none of
50:45
them are practical of them are actually um yeah, yeah, it's fucking I've
50:50
been having a ball early the last few days. I've been recording a few
50:52
things, so some videos will be up on some of those. Hell yeah.
50:55
And I've been streaming now, so if anybody hasn't noticed, Aggie and
50:59
I've been stream a little bit more. We are on Twitch and on kick
51:02
I am able to duel stream. I think I'm streaming to YouTube too,
51:05
but nobody really follows me on there. So not a big thing, but
51:10
we're getting into streaming a little bit more. I want you all played Don't
51:14
Starve together stream that. I never played it before. I didn't know anything
51:17
about this game, oh boy, until he bought it for me and then
51:21
we started playing. And holy crap, dude, that thing is hectic.
51:24
It's the art style is amazing. It's definitely burton esque, as Algie described
51:29
it to me. Yeah, the controls aren't bad or anything. And the
51:31
game, I mean, it makes sense. It's definitely a survival game.
51:36
But what holy crap, man, a certain form where you start going insane
51:37
or something like. My brain started shrinking and I start seeing shadows, and
51:42
I kept eating these mushrooms, which I think fucked me up at the beginning,
51:45
so I ke'm eating them. I don't know, I'm eating like all
51:47
these mushrooms like I'm hungry. I'm not. And my brain shrunk so much
51:51
that one of those shadows killed me and then I turned into a ghost.
51:57
Yeah. I had to figure out how to resurrect him real quick because if
52:00
I didn't him, just simply being a ghost and floating around drastically drained my
52:06
sanity. So he was literally dragging me down with him. So I had
52:10
to go find this just like fucking slab, like am I come fucking click
52:16
on this thing and he does and he comes back to live and the stupid
52:22
thing ends up zapping me, so I ended up taking health damage. Anyways,
52:24
I'm like, oh, great, thanks, but they gave They gave
52:28
us a lot of fun. It's definitely survival. I want to get back
52:31
into it a lot more because it's like, yeah, it's a resource survival
52:35
game. You go cut trees, get twigs and shit, but it's creepy
52:38
as hell and you hear shit, the darkness is not your friend. No,
52:43
it is not. Yeah, because once once the sun goes down,
52:45
if you don't have a fire, everything's coming in at you. You see,
52:50
like remember the old like cartoons back in the day, Like the darkness
52:53
you see like the evil white eyes and the darkness and the shadows or something.
52:57
They're in that ship when it gets dark and you have a fire,
52:59
you see those eyes man, and they're coming at you. And it's in
53:01
the moment. It's scary, but it's really cool. I love that that
53:06
game, not being like in first person or VR or something, gave me
53:10
that type of experience, like watching this picture book game. You know,
53:15
Yeah, it was nice to feel that, like, oh my god,
53:16
I'm getting like antsie and shit. I like that. It was really fun,
53:21
very cool. Hell yeah, I just have one game that I could
53:24
talk about, but I can't talk about it too much because it would be
53:28
spoiler territory for it. But you guys, everybody who listens knows I'm a
53:31
huge fan of Dane Robot love that game. Series of Death has not come
53:36
back in any meaningful way, shape or form, but the same the guy
53:42
who helmed those games has put together a crew and created a game called Raincode.
53:50
It's Master Detective's Archive Raincode on Switch. It's currently only available on Switch.
53:57
I'm hoping it comes to PC at some point, and I'm pretty sure
53:59
it will. But it's it's it's a game about a kid who wakes up
54:05
in a train station, lost and found, and he turns out he's in
54:09
a good place because he's lost his memories. He doesn't remember who he is
54:13
or what he's doing. But he finds this letter on him telling him to
54:15
go to this part of the city with these other Master Detectives, and he's
54:20
like, wait, a minute, I'm a master detective. What the fuck?
54:22
And he gets on the train and I can't say too much more without
54:27
spoiling it, but it basically all hell breaks loose. Like I. You
54:30
meet these other master detectives, and they all have some kind of spiritual power,
54:35
some kind of thing that gives them an advantage investigations. Like one person
54:38
can hear literally everything, including someone's heart beating from up to five hundred away.
54:45
Another person can detect life in a similar manner, but his extends to
54:50
all beings, not just like humans. Another guy can control animals and can
54:54
use like mice and shit to eavesdrop on conversations. And uh, yeah,
55:00
so they all have these funny powers. You no idea what yours is.
55:04
But you you pass out, you wake up, and you're greeted by this
55:07
like ghostly floating creature who tells you that she is a death god and that
55:14
you have signed a contract with her to increase your own detective abilities. Uh,
55:21
and so she's going to help you out with that. Um, and
55:24
she's a total perv. Yeah so, and your your character is absolutely not.
55:30
So it's it's it's a really it's a really funny game. Um,
55:37
but saying anything more about what happens next would be heavy spoiler territory. Suffice
55:42
it to say, I thought, after like three or four of these games
55:45
already I would know what was coming, and I was wrong. Right out
55:50
of the gate the very opening through me for the biggest loop, I was
55:53
like, holy shit. Um, so yeah, I've just played the opening
55:59
chapter on that on switch, but I'm looking forward to uh finishing it out
56:02
and being able to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. So far,
56:06
it's okay. Um, it's trying very hard to be a dangan Rope
56:10
alike. It's trying to it's trying very hard to be like it's not Dangon
56:15
Rope, but it's kind of dan Yeah. Yeah, so um it's it's
56:21
it's it's very very obvious. But it also has such really neat imagery.
56:30
Okay, Like your character solves these these mysteries by going to this mystery labyrinth.
56:35
And as you're walking through this labyrinth, like the actual walls and floors
56:39
spin out, rotate and change like right in front of you. It just
56:44
looks so cool as you're traversing through it. But the design is so colorful
56:47
and bright and cheery, and the interactions between you and this death god who
56:53
wants you to touch your boobs is just it's It's insane. It's absolutely insane,
57:00
and I and I adore it. So I'm looking forward to checking out
57:04
more of it. Oh yeah, but that's all I can really say about
57:07
it for now without spoiling shit. Fair that way, if anybody else does
57:10
play it, take a DM Yeah I do, because I don't want to
57:13
like people stop people from talking about it. Yeah. Absolutely in games?
57:19
Uh has anybody used that team MoU site? I started using it a while
57:22
ago. Are You for fucking Real? I actually got some good shit out
57:27
of it, including our four K webcam we got for here Are You for
57:30
Real? And it works fucking nice. I also got an action camera from
57:34
my motorcycle. It works fucking nice. Came with waterproof case, all these
57:37
like twelve mounts that I don't even need, like the sits actually pretty cool.
57:39
I ordered a suit from there fucking Materials wonderful. I love it.
57:43
The suit was like half the price I wasn't get at Coals Like wrong size.
57:46
I sent it off to get the right size. But yeah, that
57:49
was the only thing that was wrong. What the fuck is going on.
57:52
Like I've been seeing their ads and being like, this has gotta be some
57:55
it's working. It's gotta be some scam or some bullshit, like you're talking
57:59
about give me. They're giving away these drones for like free. Yeah,
58:02
like what the I got? I got motorcycle gear for free. It costs
58:07
me shit. Like I'm just I'm like that this has to be some kind
58:09
of there's some kind of scams. It's just an experience, stolen goods or
58:15
something like when the SD cards come in this week that I got because I
58:20
got some terrible ones for like a couple of bucks, and I got two
58:23
order and fifty six gigs for like a dollar or something. No way,
58:27
they're gonna be good. You'd be surprised. No way. All my other
58:30
s four K cameras great. I haven't had an issue yet, and it
58:32
was like twenty bucks. It's awesome. So if anybody would like to use
58:37
that site, oh my god, get a hold of me. I'll then
58:42
you get some free shit too. I might. I might try a code
58:45
or two, but I'm not spending a ton of money. I'm just gonna
58:47
be the first thing I spent, Like, no joke, I got like
58:51
some free crap like get like free blah blah blah or whatever. I didn't
58:54
sign up for anything, no phone number, none of that ship It was
58:57
just like one of the free spin things, since you get something for free
59:00
if he's like, choose something from here. One of them happened to be
59:02
the motorcycle chain cleaner I needed. It's a special brush. And then I
59:06
got some actual motorcycle protective gear from my elbows and my shin pads and everything
59:10
cost me a dollar to get it shipped here. That was the first order,
59:14
a dollar. I got both of those scent. The next thing I
59:16
got was the cameras, the the actually camera, the web camera, and
59:22
the suit. And after the discounts I got that time, everything was half
59:27
off plus three shipping. I think it costs me like like thirty thirty two
59:30
dollars with shipping and stuff. And then it returned to suit for free and
59:34
give me my forty bucks because it was the price went up on the suit,
59:37
so now I have credit on their site. It's weird, man.
59:40
I think it's because it's all cheap manufacture stuff from overseas. They ship it
59:45
all over here on like multiples of the same stuff and then just warehouse.
59:52
Yeah, like, how how easy is it to make those nickel and the
59:58
small electronic chips when or overseas and the places that make them there and you
1:00:01
just get somebody they're like, all right, I can sell these for like
1:00:06
cents on the dollar compared to the day over here because they got to ship
1:00:08
it all here. I'll just ship it all at my price. And I
1:00:10
have a warehouse. They're selling them for three bucks. It's crazy. I
1:00:15
mean, I just I'm not saying everything's good. I'm just saying the stuff
1:00:17
that I've gotten so far, I haven't had issues. It just it just
1:00:21
feels like Wish two point zero, you know. It's yeah, I know,
1:00:23
it's like this can't be good, but it's actually turning out to be
1:00:28
kind of good. And everybody that I've spoke with in my DM group that
1:00:30
has used it because I sent off a codgirl, yeah, we use it
1:00:32
all the time and it's great too. And those are people within the industry.
1:00:37
All right. But I'm not saying it's all great because I don't know.
1:00:39
But everything I've experienced has been good, and people that I've heard have
1:00:43
been good. All right, So if you'd like to try it, hook
1:00:45
me up very good? All right, that's all. I think we should
1:00:47
wrap it up. Yeah. I think we've done a good job of getting
1:00:51
a good full show. Hey guys, thanks for listening. I hope you've
