because it's wack. Nah, this one's all that and a
0:14
bag of chips, brother. We're smashing that rewind
0:18
button hard enough. Blocked with the tape that's
0:20
overdue by three weeks and your boy still refuses to pay the
0:24
late fee. Oh shit, today we're hitting you
0:31
with something mad random, bro, but in the best way possible.
0:36
It's the kind of vibe that feels like you just stepped into a
0:38
blockbuster on a Friday night with a bag of Dunkaroos.
0:43
Dunkaroos in one hand and a No Mercy and 64 cartridge.
0:49
In the other. Goldeneye.

All right, today's episode is a mixed up of everything that made
3:04
the 90's the dopest decade ever. Blessed are baggy jeans.
3:09
We're talking No Mercy tournaments that end the
3:11
friendships. Bulls versus Jazz with your
3:17
cousin yelling curves. Underrated Hollywood Video
3:23
versus Blockbuster because locations didn't matter and one
3:26
always had more sticker games. Damn late night Dr. Bumping
3:35

3:44
Yeah, yeah. Be careful bro.
3:49

4:18
on it like the headphones and everything.
4:21
Can you like listen to? Yeah, the.
4:24
CD used to be when it came out. Yeah, and crazy about that
4:27
though is back in Dallas, I didn't go in the 90s.
4:31
I went like in the late, I say early 2000s and there was about
4:35
closed. They were about to close that
4:37
certain one that was like the last one in Dallas and that's
4:39
about to close. I never forget it.
4:40
I bought nice one of them NBA 2K games.
4:45
I was in there for like 3 hours just looking at stuff and
4:47
listening to music and stuff. But I remember that though.
4:50
But I used to hit up Tower Records, though, hard though.
4:54
Did you? Yeah.
4:55
And actually a Tower record about a death row death row
5:02
Uncut on tape. It was a black, It was a red
5:04
cassette tape with all the death row music videos of Uncut out
5:08
kind of crazy shit on it. Yeah.
5:11
I didn't have a Tower Records. Well, I kind of did, but it was
5:14
like somewhere in an obscure location in California.
5:17
Yeah. Like you had to go like deep
5:21
downtown and I'm like, I'm not traveling.
5:24
Dang. It's like right version was
5:26
right there in front of the mall, like in the mall in front
5:29
of my school, in front of my job.
5:32
It's. Like you went to school, you
5:34
went to high school, this place, you went to work here, 'cause
5:38
like everybody would go here for this place to be to the spot.
5:41
The name, the place name was named Togo's.
5:44
And like it was like Panera before Panera.
5:49
Dang it. Was a West Coast thing because I
5:51
I don't can't find any topic around here anymore in the east
5:54
or. West.
5:57
And it was a West Coast thing. And then it even, what's it
6:02
called? jack-in-the-box?
6:04
Yeah, West Coast thing. You can't.
6:06
Find jack-in-the-box around here.
6:08
Yeah, they yeah, not here in Michigan either.
6:11
Now they but they they supposed to be building some in the next
6:14
year so they don't be a three out here see how they do and
6:17
it's going hopefully it'll expand out here.
6:19
I'm also going in here Jagged Box in 10 years so.
6:24
Right. Even we got that trend that's
6:27
going on around TikTok when someone says when I say this and
6:30
no one understands me when I say this and no one understands me.
6:33
I'm like when I say if it doesn't get all over the place,
6:36
it doesn't belong in your face and no one understands me
6:39
because I'm jack-in-the-box. If a burger doesn't get all over
6:42
your all over the place and you're freaking biting it, all
6:46
the ketchup started going down. I've seen all these commercials
6:49
where all these basketball players are eating like the
6:53
ketchup goes down and almost lands on their shoe and they're
6:56
being messy. And then here comes Jack.
6:59
If it doesn't get in all over your face, you know, and.
7:05
Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, dude, whatever
7:07
happened to that? I missed that.
7:09
Like even coming out here, it's like y'all don't know
7:12
jack-in-the-box is that if it doesn't get all over your face,
7:15
if it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your
7:17
face. You never heard of that?
7:18
Oh. Man.
7:21
See, it's a West Coast thing. Sarah Mendez has a
7:24
jack-in-the-box over there. No kidding.
7:26
That's what's up, though. And then the mascot for
7:32
Jack-in-the-box, This guy with a freaking a ball on his head
7:39
talking shit about every other fast food restaurant.
7:42
And I love. It I used to love.
7:44
That, yeah. So that was across from the
7:46
schools, like everybody would go there to eat or to Togo to eat.
7:50
Yeah. Work and then a few blocks away
7:53
is the mall and the mall is like thousands of square feet.
7:58
You go from like one place to the elder and you just walk your
8:03
ass from there and Virgin Megastore and in there is like
8:09
air conditioner forever the coldest place ever.
8:12
Yeah, yeah, like. I don't know what it's like.
8:14
They have it at freaking negatives and stuff.
8:17
Yeah. And I'd go in there and say it'd
8:20
be nice. It's like because there was this
8:24
one girl that used to go that used to work there and show up
8:29
at my job at Togos. Yeah.
8:32
And like, oh, yeah, hey, what's going on?
8:34
How you doing, dude? All right, cool.
8:36
Yeah, hey, all that shit. And he's like, she'd be nice as
8:38
hell. And it was like, finally, it's
8:40
like, all right, let me fucking go to her job.
8:43
She hates it. Like, like, wait, so you're so
8:47
you're a completely different person when you're over there,
8:50
when you're outside of work. I was like, I, I see that.
8:53
I see that now. I.
8:54
Understand now, I understand now 'cause God damn.
8:58
But she was cool as hell when I showed up it was like, Oh yeah,
9:02
hey, what's going on, man? But that place was awesome.
9:06
Yeah, it I want to say Hot Topic type.
9:13
Yeah, yeah. Journeys, Journeys.
9:21
Like if journey's still around. That's where I used to get my
9:23
shoes all the time. Because like I used to hang.
9:25
Out with skaters and like, I'm like finally asking like, what's
9:29
your brand? What do you wear these?
9:32
I was like, OK, so I went to Journeys, bought those shoes,
9:35
bought some stuff. It's like everything in there is
9:37
expensive. But.
9:39
It's worth it. Where did it go?
9:41
Back to school and be like. Oh my God.
9:46
Yeah, yeah. Look at you, look at you.
9:51
Hot topic. Of course to buy like random
9:54

10:16
Yeah, Jinko pants. Yeah, I have that Jinko.
10:20
Though. And then you have, it was like
10:21
all these places, right? And then you go to Spencer's and
10:24
suddenly I'm on fucking like, where am I?
10:27
Where? The fuck is this?
10:29
Like, Oh my God. Don't go to the back.
10:31
Don't go to the back. Don't go to the back.
10:35
Don't are you? I went to the back too late.
10:38
Don't fucking tell me that I went to the back.
10:43
The adult version of fucking. What is it called journeys or
10:46
the other one? And I'm just like, I'm
10:48
comfortable, you know, Hey, hello.
10:50
And there's this guy there fucking working there.
10:53
And he looked over at me. He's all like, can I help you in
10:55
something? I was like, Nah, I'm just
10:58

11:04
And he's all like, and he's all like, dude, you look
11:07

11:10
Go back in front, Go back in front.
11:13
I was like, yes, Sir, thank you, Appreciate it.
11:17
Just like looking around stuff and then like OK, cool.
11:20
Yeah. I'm leaving.
11:22
The Virgin Megastore was awesome.
11:26
And of course you got the Sears, Ross, all that other shit.
11:28
But like, you had what every teenager wanted at the time.
11:33
Those four places, the video game places.
11:36
I forgot what they were called. On the video game place, let's
11:39
see, we in Texas, we had Funko Land.
11:43
Funko Land. That and then Britain would just
11:46
have Funko Land really and didn't switch to GameStop or you
11:54
or you go like go to Toys-R-Us or whatever.
11:57
EB toys, not not EB toys. KB toys.
12:01
And story about that is when WrestleMania 2000 hit for 64.
12:09
That was during the time when it was completely sold out and you
12:13
couldn't find a copy nowhere. And this was, and I mean, my
12:16
mother, she, it was like doing Christmas.
12:18
We was looking at Target, Walmart, KB toys, like we
12:25
couldn't get it. Then like a couple months later,
12:27
she surprised me and I came home from school and it's right there
12:31
on the counter. WrestleMania 2000.
12:35
Hell yeah, that's. Awesome black cartridge Black.
12:38

12:47
the house and then in the chat and then Queenie B says hey.
12:51

13:31
I ain't listen to. The first of all, listen to the
13:36
Smooth Criminal first, OK? I remember that rocks.
13:40
It rocks so hard, right? It really it's alternative.
13:43
It's a new way for I never heard Michael Jackson song yeah,
13:48
covered this way ever. And these dudes just like killed
13:52
it. And the aesthetic of the music
13:54
video is there in the ring. They're doing wrestling moves.
13:58
So they have the wrestling audience and the Rock audience
14:02
and like little kids also doing the whole moves and shit.
14:06
Yeah. And all that.
14:07
And I'm just like, that's awesome, dude.
14:09
Let me go look at, let me go check out the the CD when it
14:12
comes out. So I go in there, I put it on
14:15
and I fucking cool. This song was awesome.
14:19
And then we listen to the rest of the CD and I'm just like,
14:21
where is the rest of the Rock? Where where, what's going on?
14:27
It is all chill music. Damn, it is all like slow
14:34
rhythm. And I'm like, what took those
14:41
things off left? I'm just like, no, I'm good.
14:45
I'm so glad. I'm so glad.
14:47
Like I didn't buy it, somebody else did.
14:48
I'm just like, this sucks. It's really like the only hit
14:51
they had though. I think they had yet the only it
14:56
was the only hit they had on this album.
14:58
There's another album that came out and again another like one
15:02
hit. In there.
15:04
Damn, I didn't. Listen to the other album.
15:06

15:10
Yeah. Your first hit, that first song
15:14
is going to hit, and then the rest of the album is going to
15:16
suck. Yeah, I'm good.
15:17
Right, I don't. Want to deal with this again?
15:20
Dang, I'm so glad for that too, because like every other some
15:24
stuff that I went in there for, like, all right, let me listen
15:27
to Aaliyah. Let me listen to before they
15:29
had, what's her name? Black Eyed Peas?
15:34
Or Fergie. Like I listened to that they had
15:36
and there's like a an awesome math band and I'm like, what is
15:39
this girl? Why is she ruining this place?
15:43
Who else? There's a bunch of stuff back in
15:48
lateness that I used to go in there to listen to.
15:52
Yeah, like, no, not I think the game, Not the game.
15:57
It was Eminem. When Eminem came out, I went in
16:01
there all the time. Yeah.
16:06
Oh yeah, Gorillas Gorillaz album was like that too.
16:10
I remember all I remember being cooked.
16:15
Gorillas because it was the dude from Blur.
16:20
But you know, I was like, I I. The only album I enjoyed was the
16:24
Clint Eastwood song. Yeah.
16:26
And the rest of this was like, the rest of it was just like
16:29
chill music, you know? But I didn't like didn't say it
16:32
like I hate this album. Like, well, gorillas, alright.
16:36
The one that I really hated was England after Nah, we're good.
16:46
What other music that I forgot to?
16:49
It was just like so crazy at the time in the 90s. 90s you had to
16:55
infamous East Coast, West Coast beef.
16:57
Everybody was like either bumping Tupac or they was
17:00
bumping Biggie. I was bumping Tupac.
17:04
See. See that same Tupac?
17:06
Yeah, I was bumping Tupac, but I like Biggie.
17:08
You know what I'm saying? Because of the slow, yeah.
17:12
And that's how you became the how.
17:16
That's how you started loving music.
17:18
Yeah. Because you couldn't choose
17:20
between two artists. Right.
17:22
Because of how they sounded and because of the flow.
17:26
And then like, so who won that battle?
17:28
And like, hit him up one my God. So mainly.
17:33
Shit hit him up and I'm just like, he murdered him.
17:36
Yep, it's just a crazy time, man and and thing, and I always say
17:43
to this day, I just wish though, I wish those dudes, man, I wish
17:47
they could have just had a conversation by their self right
17:51
without everybody without without the interference and
17:55
man, it's just it's just crazy though.
17:57
But they still live on, man. See right here, both of them
18:02
looking over me. Hell.
18:04
Yeah, dude, Hell yeah. Like every time the most iconic
18:13
poster of Biggie is when he has the crown.
18:17
Yeah, actually been looking for that poster, but I can't and
18:19
track it down. I I just can't How?
18:21
Do that. That poster is amazing.
18:24
Every that, like every time I see it like hell yeah.
18:28
Yeah, there's. This one moment on Luke Cage.
18:31
Luke Cage. Yeah, I know what you're talking
18:34
about. Netflix where Cottonmouth the
18:40
villain stands in front of the poster and the way he stands in
18:44
front of the poster when and just stares into your soul.
18:49
Yeah. And the way he stands in front
18:50
of the poster and on the side is the crown.
18:53
And I'm like that is not some image right there.
18:56
Oh yeah, man, that's just. Like stands in front of he
19:02
stands in front of Biggie, not in front of whole crown thing
19:05
but in front of biggie to where the crown was like slanted over.
19:08
Yeah, it's. Him and it's like this is
19:11
awesome I love it. Also, every title of that
19:15
episode is a song from Onyx. Yeah, that was clever how they
19:21
put they do. Yeah, it's like every like every
19:27
time, like the the title, like I read the titles like, oh, I went
19:32
over and looked at it. It's like, oh, OK.
19:34
Yeah. And there was an in the 1st 5
19:38
minutes of an episode. I don't know which one, but it
19:42
was Wu Tang. Yeah.
19:45
And I'm like, yes, this fucking show is awesome.
19:49
Why? Why is nobody watching this?
19:52
Yeah, like a lot of people, you know, A lot of people didn't
19:54
really understand it, though. That's the thing.
19:56
They really didn't understand the show.
19:58
Yeah, I know. I.
20:00
Mean were made for us. That first season was that first
20:03
season was held off. First season, but epic, though,
20:06
if you ask me. Let me shoot.
20:10
Yeah. They should have never killed
20:12
off cottonmouth. No, no.
20:14
They should. They shouldn't because as soon
20:16
as that show, like as soon as that cottonmouth was passed out.
20:20
You know. It I'm like, what is the second
20:21
storyline? What the hell is this?
20:23
What they gonna do now? He went there like, it's just
20:26
ridiculous. You're down here from there.
20:28
I like that. Next three next three episodes
20:30
of something different. I'm like, that should have ended
20:31
it right there then. Wow.
20:32
Why you still either continue with Cottonmouth or just like
20:36
end the show right there where he does.
20:37
They're like, don't bring another character 3 episodes.
20:42
Yeah before you're the season finale.
20:44
And then what? And then I couldn't stand like,
20:48
I was like that. That like killed me from
20:50
watching season 2. I haven't watched season 2.
20:52
I I was like season 2 episode 1. I saw it.
20:55
I was like, oh. Did they have three seasons or
20:57
two? I can't.
21:00
Leanne was in the chat. Hello.
21:03

21:12
what what was the motivation for you to start playing that and
21:17

21:21
seeing a video and stuff. You're so cold at a dope.
21:24

21:32
Marvel Avengers. Yeah.

And how it died. Yeah.
21:40
In 2020, I was so heavy. In 2019-2020, whatever I came
21:44
out around there, I was so heavy into Marvel Avengers.
21:47
And I said I, I want something new to like, get me through
21:51
2020, you know, besides July when I joined this place over
21:58
here. Yeah.
22:00
But in 2020, I just started, like, awesome.
22:04
This is so cool. And I like, it's cool.
22:06
Like everybody was just, like, playing it.
22:08
And I'm just playing it and I'm learning new stuff.
22:10
I didn't know who Kamala Khan was.
22:13
I didn't know who MODOK was. I from.
22:15
Yeah, I'm sorry. It's like, yeah, from watching
22:20
the show during all that stuff, I knew MODOK.
22:23
Yeah, but it was like. Very cool.
22:25
This is awesome, I love it. So I got into it and like, I got
22:31
to meet other players. We hung out, we did battles and
22:36
everything. And it was the same way.
22:39
That just stopped now, right? And then, like, what?
22:42
Because of the pandemic? Because of COVID?
22:44
Yeah. The developers couldn't, you
22:47
know, go into the lab. They couldn't go into the lab
22:50
and work on stuff on their computers, on the.
22:53
So they had to do it from home. And the ones from home weren't
22:55
exactly compatible with the shit that was going on.
22:59
Damn. So according to them, they said
23:01
like, we can't work on this anymore.
23:04
So years later, they finally get back in the lab, and it's like,
23:07
you know what? We're going to kill the game.
23:10
Are you kidding me? I went through all this stuff.
23:13
I bought stuff. I went through all the entire
23:16
aspect of the game. I unlocked certain things.
23:18
Yeah. And now you're telling me that
23:21
you're going to kill the game off in September 2022?
23:24
OK, fine. 20. 21 or 2022 around there because I know I talked
23:29
about it on the podcast. Might have I might have not, I
23:33
don't know. So I'm like, all right, that's
23:36
fine. I guess.
23:36
In the meantime, here's Guardians of Galaxy.
23:39
Not the same. I downloaded it.
23:40
It's not the same. It's story driven.
23:44
All this shit. This this one just felt like
23:46
completely different early last year around this time, because
23:51
the one year anniversary of it around this time, he's other
23:56
developers are like, we're creating a new game.
23:59
We're like coming out with a new game called Marvel rivals.
24:03
I'm like, what does that mean? You know, is it like this new
24:08
thing going? I was like, are we going to do
24:10
like fight? I was going to be like Capcom
24:13
versus Marvel. Right, that's the.
24:15
First thought I had right? Yeah.
24:18
And like, no, I don't know. We don't.
24:23
Nobody knew what was going on. So as soon as I saw the whole
24:28
titled rivals, I'm like, what does this mean?
24:31
And I'm all interested, invested in it.
24:32
I'm all interested in it. I started following the pages, I
24:35
started looking at stuff, I started investigating, doing my
24:38
own investigation. I said last year, I can't wait
24:40
for this game to come out. My rivals going to be awesome.
24:45
Can't wait. And then we started seeing new
24:48
footage of it, people gameplay and like at the Game Awards, we
24:52
start seeing game. Yeah.
24:55
The trailers and I'm like, oh hell yeah, it's going to be a
24:58
six person versus six person shooter game, shooter game.
25:02
And they're like, oh, so it's going to be like whatever.
25:06
That whole game, I don't know what it's called.
25:08
I don't even play it. Modern, not Modern Warfare.
25:12
Oh, Overwatch. It's going to be like Overwatch.
25:15
Like what is that? I don't know what Overwatch is.
25:18
And then I I do now. Yeah.
25:21
Oh, shit. Well, no, it's not like
25:23
Overwatch. It feels like Overwatch.
25:25
It's not. All right, So you know what's
25:29
going to happen? How many players are going to be
25:31
there? Like, not players.
25:32
How many characters? 36, Like, oh, shit.
25:35
It's like, all right, cool. I can do 36 characters.
25:38
Yeah, why not? We're going to introduce new
25:41
characters later on the season. It's like, what do you mean
25:44
seasons? You're going to keep creating
25:46
more stuff. You're not going to come out
25:47
with Marvel Rivals 2, Marvel Rivals three.
25:50
No, we're going to keep creating stuff for you.
25:53
I'm in. Yeah.
25:54
When does it come out for people?
25:57
It's probably going to come out in January.
25:59
If. He wants Season 0.
26:00
It's going to come out in December.
26:01
Oh, let me get Season 0 beta. And I'm just like, fuck is.
26:07
Yeah, I. Was like so I started listening
26:09
to watching all this other stuff that's going on there and all
26:13
the dev talk and how they're fixing things how they're
26:16
they're interviews and stuff and telling us like.
26:19
So we included Penny Parker, we included this stuff we included
26:22

30:33
Oh yeah, I'm doing great. I'm doing more.
30:35
I'm putting in more hours than I did last season.
30:37
This season, not so much. Oh my God, Like, all right, I
30:40

30:51
Yeah. Like there was a strike for
30:53
healers. Damn.
30:55
Yeah, there's a strike for healers and I'm just like, why
30:58

31:01
Damn. Because this one dude necro, I
31:05
don't know who the fuck he is. I don't know who these other
31:08
these hi big freaking twitch people are, but he said that
31:13
strategists are the most dumbest people ever there and like your
31:18
job is so easy or why can't you do it?
31:22
Why would you do that? Yeah, it'll ruin everything for
31:25
all of us. Don't listen to this dumbass.
31:27
Leave them a lot don't know we're going on strike.
31:29
All right, fine. Y'all can go on strike.
31:32
I'll be the one that scabbed and go and do the strategy part and
31:37
heal everybody. I'm I'm I'm a shooter every time
31:42
and every in all the games that I do.
31:44
All right, it's time to learn a new new character.
31:48
So I did all the strategist and I started doing the strategist.
31:50
If you need a healer, I'm here. It's like we're doing this.
31:54
We're making myself a Lord and stuff.
31:56
All right, cool. Oh.
31:56
Yeah. But I went and looked at his
32:00
stuff to necros and just like you, you sound like a douche
32:05
bag. Dang, whatever.
32:08
That's correct. He does, but ever since that
32:11
game came out as his help with my mental.
32:15
Yeah. I need a break from the podcast.
32:19
All right, it was time to beat some people up.
32:22
Yeah. Some dude throwing elbows on
32:25
everybody. Yeah, let's.
32:26
Do that. Let's do that.
32:30
I mean, that was what I did, bro.
32:31
You know, you needed that, though.
32:33
You know, everybody needed. Yeah, I did.
32:34
You know, I'm saying yeah, I'm glad you got that, though, you
32:40

32:42
And you're very passionate about it too.
32:45
Really. For.
32:45
Real what about you? Like do you have a game or like
32:49

33:03
Yeah, and you know, the island now I got the island.

But I'm going from last year, you know, I just, I was just
33:14
trading different wrestlers, yeah, different women on there.
33:20
And I just go through the universe and I went about the
33:24
season pass. So I got basically everybody and
33:27
I beat the showcase. It took me forever to beat the
33:29
showcase, but I did it. It does.
33:32
And it's just, it's so much objectives and crap.
33:35
Not like I, I seen this stuff, like I live this stuff, but no,
33:40
it, it, you know, it, you know, it helped me, you know, it
33:44
helped me with my, with my depression, you know, and but
33:48
then it got to the point where I just didn't want to, I didn't
33:50
even want to play it like I was so messed up.
33:53
But you know and. And sometimes games do that
33:56
where it's like, alright, it feels like so much is going on.
34:00
Yeah, yeah. And get another game.
34:03

36:17
different things in there, man. It's come a long way from just
36:21
doing like one single thing on that.
36:24
Yeah, it's involved, I tell you that.
36:28
It's involved like from compared to what we grew up with back in

37:50
Here's how we get big head on. Play these characters.
37:57
You play this character and this character and this character and
37:59
then bam, that's how we got big head for Ahmed Johnson and
38:03
Farooq. There was other stuff too, and I
38:08
forgot all about them, but there was other stuff too.
38:14
With no mercy. Hold down the little butt stick
38:19
and you act like it's you're down forever.
38:23
It's like nobody will touch you. I mean, people will touch you,
38:25
but like, alright, you know, if you want to play possum and
38:28
everything and like get up at the very last minute and you can
38:31
throw people out. Yeah, cool.
38:33
Like I did that. It was like, I found out though.
38:34
I found that out and I was like, this is awesome.
38:37
I love it. I.
38:38
Changed the colors for every character on Did You Have No
38:46
Mercy? I did.
38:47
Did you have the WWI had WCWNWL revenge and I had and I had
38:57
Wrestle Mania 2000. I didn't get the chance.
38:59
I didn't get a chance to get No Mercy 'cause my mother sold my
39:01
sister for. Revenge was what revenge was.
39:07
Awesome Revenge, yes, that's the one I had and I'm just like to
39:12
do. That's the one where I was like
39:13
changing color for everybody, the NWO colors.
39:17
I did too, but everything is I did too.
39:19
People with what he's supposed to be in NWO was on my own in
39:22
the in the NWO my game I had Sting had a little ninja dude on
39:26
there. Oh my God, the ninja dude.
39:31
There's some guy that freaking threw like punches.
39:33
It's like. Yeah.
39:35
Time he threw a punch, they made that other character bleed and
39:39
it's like. Yeah, I remember that.
39:41
They. They look at them, they look at
39:44
themselves like they touched the blood and they didn't pass out.
39:48
It's like I remember that. Yeah, I remember that too.
39:50
And you can hear it, you know when you did it.
39:54
And then here, look at it and file down.
39:56
I like dance. That is the most awesome thing
40:00
ever. I didn't say that.
40:03
One of my friends borrowed the no Mercy game from another
40:07
person from another dude and. Like he started playing it at
40:11
his house. We all, we were all there just
40:13
fucking hanging out. Four.
40:14
Controllers. And everything.
40:15
And one day he just told me he's like, I'm going to return this
40:18
game, but I'm going to put another game in there.
40:20
Yeah. So like, all right, cool.
40:22
So I didn't. He told me later that he
40:25
couldn't grab this dude's game also.
40:27
Yeah, put it in there. And then his mom worked at a
40:31
shipping company where he can return everything back with and
40:36
all that stuff. So like it was fine.
40:39
So we take it back because he paid money for it, and we take
40:42
it back and we're just like, OK, now let's fucking go before we
40:45
find out that we did. Something.
40:46
Like, all right, cool. Let's go.
40:47
Let's get the fuck out of here. Yeah.
40:50
And like, we got away with that. I'm just like, now I can never
40:53
come here, Like, because they'll know that I was with him and,
40:58
you know, all this. But it was it was.
41:00
Yeah, it was fun. Don't ever do that.
41:03
But you know, it was fun. What other games I had back then
41:12
I had golden. Goldeneye, yeah.
41:16
Cost 64 Yes Sir, Mario, Mario 64.
41:22
Cost up the regular Mario and I used to just bar games from
41:27
people and not give them back. That's how I racked up my 64
41:33
collection. I said now I ain't got your
41:35
game, whatever. And they made my.
41:38

43:58
Yeah. He wasn't to the Japanese stuff.
44:00
Yeah, found out. About Power Rangers before he
44:02
came out and he told me all about it like, and at the time
44:07

44:51
to him. Like, all right, cool.
44:52

48:17
I've seen other creators on YouTube also tell like, Oh my
48:21
God, look, Oh my God, yes. That's the kind of ones that I
48:24
like, especially when they're adult creators.
48:28
Yeah. From another project, another
48:31
place. The the the orange and black
48:35
one. Yeah, that one.
48:38
Yeah. The Hub and like, oh shit, like
48:44
this person from the Hub and she's doing this the entire time
48:47
and whispering into the microphone and I was like, like,
48:51
I'd rather her. I'd rather be listening to this
48:53
than watching her do that. Like, oh shit.
48:55
I mean, it's nothing, nothing wrong against that, but still,
48:57
it's like I'd rather listen to this.
49:00
Cool. And I have and so I was like,
49:02
you know, that gave me that inspired me to do my own like,
49:06
all right, yeah, I have this mic.
49:08
There's an echo on the mic. I can do that.
49:10
I did it with the Wanda one with the Wanda Maximoff and the story
49:15
Rich where I turned up the echo and I said her name whisper or
49:20
Wanda, and it worked. And I'm just like, that is
49:23
amazing. I should do more of that where
49:26
it does that. But you know, I can't decide.
49:31
I have a schedule of my own now where I just wanna put stuff out
49:34
there, record everything under one, mass stuff, mass record
49:39
stuff. And then the entire week I just
49:42
put it out. Right.
49:45
Like shit, this gives me time to work on stuff.
49:48
And. Work on the podcast as well.

50:53
a chance to this would give me like a chance to talk about the
50:57
Marvel rivals career. Yeah, an excuse to talk about it
51:00
this way is like, yeah, whatever.
51:02
We're doing an episode like instead of doing it like every
51:05
season, half season, season, half season, and you only hear
51:10
like every what, half a month? A.
51:14
Month. Later you get to hear more often
51:17
now and how my career is doing and because I'm listening to all
51:20
this other stuff and I, I went to the comic book store today to
51:30
a new comic book store. I haven't gone one to in a while
51:34
because don't have the funds, but I went to a new comic book
51:38
store. This other place called Mind
51:40
Vendor told me about this place. Mind Vendor is a toy store,
51:45
which by the way, support your local toy stores and support
51:48
your local comic book stores. The tariffs are going to fuck
51:51
them up real bad. That's what they told me.
51:54
Damn. It's like because they get their
51:57
stuff overseas. So support.
51:59
Them now. Man, damn.
52:01
Yeah. Support them now while you still
52:02
can. Oh.
52:04
Shit. Because come January, dude, even
52:07
the guy from Mindbeck, there's the toy store, because I went to
52:10
go look for cards at Lor Canada, Disney or the Pokémon or any
52:16
type of card, and he's not like, yeah, we're only getting stuff
52:19
later in the season. And I don't even know if I'm
52:22
going to still be around in January.
52:24
Damn. Oh.
52:25
Shit like, yeah, tariffs are going to fuck us up and
52:27
everything. I'm sorry to hear that, Sir.
52:31
And then I was like, what about if you sell comic books?
52:33
Like I can't do that to my friend over there, the Monkey
52:37
Ranch comic book store, because, like he does, it was like, OK,
52:42
like what's this place called? Monkey Ranch?
52:43
It's like, alright, so today went out looking for the Monkey
52:47
Ranch. It's nearby.
52:49
So now I can, like, go on there and like, look for stuff.
52:53
Yeah. Went out there looking for
52:55
Marvel Rivals comic books thinking that they're going to
52:58
be there. It's like, Oh no dude, it's it's
53:02
online. Done online.
53:04
It's like the comic books are online, like we'll get a first
53:08
issue in the next month or so, but the first 12 issues are
53:13
online. It's like, oh, OK, like,
53:15
alright, well, let me look around.
53:17
And I'm saying we're looking around like I, I might plan A
53:22
didn't go as planned. Plan B was just a leave.
53:25
So I'm like, all right, never mind.
53:26
You know what? Oh, cool toys, all this other
53:29
stuff, the cards. And I look at the cars and I
53:34
look how much they are like, Nah, I'm good.
53:36
They're too expensive, but still support your local comic book
53:39
shop. But still, you know, so I'm
53:43
like, I was like, all right, this place is here.
53:45
I'll come back another time when I have the knowledge of what I
53:48
want to get right. So if you're listening, please
53:53
tell me what comic book I should get now.
53:56
Which comic book should I start with?
53:59
And now, because I haven't collected in a while, I haven't
54:01
read anything in a while. I was going to go for a Buffy
54:04

54:06
read in a while and I wasn't prepared for that.
54:09
I was prepared for Rivals. But I don't have it right.
54:13
So I left there and it's like went to go get my food, went to

1:11:21
Before we go. I want to use this opportunity
1:11:24
to play the game that I'm already playing.
1:11:26
Who's that Pokémon? But we're going to use
1:11:29
wrestlers. OK.
1:11:31
So, Greg, can you name this wrestler?
1:11:34
And just a clue and the worst way I can possibly describe
1:11:36
them. OK.
1:11:38
All right, clue #1 enters like a rave, fights like a storm.
1:11:46
Clue number two more neon than the 90s roller rink.
1:11:51
Clue #3 Might drop it low and drop you on your face.
1:11:57
Clue #4 Glows in the dark but punches in daylight.
1:12:02
Clue #5 name sounds like royalty and rebellion had a baby.
1:12:09
Clue number six could choreograph a tick tock and went
1:12:12
up at a royal all right. Clue #7 Married to a twin, but
1:12:19
not the one you're thinking of. Her clue #8 her energy.
1:12:27
Pure glow. Who's that wrestler, Bud?
1:12:33
Naomi. Naomi.
1:12:35
Yes Sir. Yes Sir.
1:12:36
Way into the history. It may glow up a literal thing.
1:12:38
Here's another one. Clue number one more letter than
1:12:41
a biker bar in 1999. Clue #2 wore sunglasses inside
1:12:47
before it was like, ironic. Ironic, yeah.
1:12:53
OK. Clue number 31 strength beer
1:12:55
like it was electrolytes. Clue #4 His neck probably still
1:13:01
hurts from carrying the company. Clue number 5 has catch phrases
1:13:07
that printed more money than PayPal.
1:13:12
Clue #6, a part of his body had his own storyline.
1:13:21
Clue #7 could cook something. Nobody ever tasted it, though.
1:13:30
Clue #8 made a catch phrase, a household insult.
1:13:35
Who's that wrestler? Rock.
1:13:38
Iraq Jabroni made Jabroni a household insult, and the
1:13:42
Eyebrow had his own storyline. And if you didn't smell what he
1:13:47
was cooking, were you even alive in the 90s?
1:13:52
One More tag team were wild back then.
1:13:55
Half of them looked like they met in detention.
1:13:57
Try to do. One looked like he slept in
1:14:00
Camel, the other looked like a Hot Topic employee.
1:14:04
Clue #2 Their intro music sounded like a mosh pit with
1:14:07
bass issues. Clue #3 Somehow always had
1:14:15
tables nearby. Clue number 41 screamed like it
1:14:21
was a breakfast order. Clue #5 probably responsible for
1:14:27
half the broken spines in the history.
1:14:32
Clue number six had more tagged gold than in a mid 2000s
1:14:36
wrapper. Clue #7 war tape on everything.
1:14:41
Arm, wrist, dignity and clue #8 their TLC matches Bible level
1:14:48
chaos. Who are those wrestlers?
1:14:52
The hardest? What?
1:14:57
Am I right? No.
1:14:58
We're the hardest. No.
1:15:01
Dudley, the Dudley. Get the table like it was a
1:15:06
breakfast order. Brother, I heard hot topics.
1:15:10
That's why I said. That's why I said hardest.
1:15:12
Yeah. And so I was like Hot Topic.
1:15:13
I was confused by that time. I was like, oh, wait, Bubba.
1:15:16
All right, I get it. Makes sense.
1:15:20
That was menu, yeah. Yeah, that menu Tables.
1:15:24
Tables. If you know, you know.
1:15:26
All right, man. And that's a wrap on this rat
1:15:31
ride down memory lane, complete with scratch CDs, neon graphics
1:15:35
and more 90s attitudes in a DX reunion tour.
1:15:39
Suck it. Big shout out to my dude Greg
1:15:44

dropped. Shoot the shit.
1:15:52
We're going to rename it, don't worry.
1:15:54
Don't worry, we're going to rename.
1:15:55
It the title of this, the title of this episode on Spotify is
1:15:58
going to be something else, because I think I can put that
1:16:00
in there. Yeah, it'll be ugly.
