Season 2 to bring you this rock bottom of an episode, but not

because it's wack. Nah, this one's all that in a
0:14
bag of chips, brother. We're smashing that rewind
0:18
button hard enough, blocked with the tape that's overdue by three
0:21
weeks, and your boy still refuses to pay the late fee.
0:30
Oh shit, today we're hitting you with something mad random, bro,
0:34
but in the best way possible. It's the kind of vibe that feels
0:37
like you just stepped into a blockbuster on a Friday night
0:41
with a bag of Dunkaroos. Dunkaroos in one hand and then
0:47
no mercy and 64 cartridge. In the other yeah, yeah.

the 90's the dopest decade ever. Blessed are baggy jeans.
3:09
We're talking No Mercy tournament that end the
3:11
friendships, Bull versus Jazz with your cousin yelling curves.
3:19
Underrated Hollywood Video versus Blockbuster because
3:25

3:45
Be careful bro. And wandering through Virgin

3:58
Bad version though. Dang, hell yeah.

Did your virgin megastore had like the box with the music on
4:19
it and like the headphones and everything.
4:21
Can you like listen to? Yeah, yeah.
4:26
And crazy about that though is back in Dallas, I didn't go in
4:30
the 90s. I went like in the late, I say
4:33
early 2000s and there was about closed.
4:36
They were about to close that certain one that was like the
4:37
last one in Dallas and that's about to close.
4:40
I never forget it. I bought one of them NBA 2K
4:44
games. I was in there for like 3 hours
4:46
just looking at stuff and listening to music and stuff.
4:48
But I remember that though. But I used to hit up Tower
4:51
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.
5:03
It was a red cassette tape with all the death row music videos
5:07
of Uncut, all kind of crazy shit on it.
5:09
Yeah. I didn't have a Tower Records.
5:13
Well, I kind of did, but it was like somewhere in an obscure
5:16
location in California. Yeah.
5:19
Like you had to go like deep downtown and I'm like, I'm not
5:23
traveling. Dang.
5:24
It's like right it version was right there in front of the
5:27
mall, like in the mall in front of my school, in front of my
5:31
job. It's.
5:32
Like you went to school, you went to high school, this place,
5:35
you went to work here because like everybody would go here for
5:40
this place to be to the spot, the name, the place name was
5:43
named Togo's. And like it was like Panera
5:48
before Panera. Dang.
5:50
It was a West Coast thing because I, I don't can't find
5:53
any topic around here anymore in the east or West and it was a
5:57
West Coast thing. And then it'll even on what's it
6:02
called jack-in-the-box. Yeah, West Coast thing.
6:05
You can't. Find jack-in-the-box around
6:07
here. Yeah, they yeah, not here in
6:10
Michigan either. Now they but they they supposed
6:12
to be building some in the next year so they don't be a three
6:15
out here see how they do and it's going hopefully it'll
6:18
expand out here. I'm also gonna have a jagged box
6:21
in 10 years, so. It's great, right?
6:25
Even we got that trend that's going on around TikTok when
6:29
someone says when I say this and no one understands me when I say
6:32
this and no one understands me. I'm like when I say if it
6:35
doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face
6:37
and no one understands me because I'm jack-in-the-box.
6:40
If a burger doesn't get all over your all over the place and
6:45
you're freaking biting it, all the ketchup start going down.
6:47
I've seen all these commercials where all these basketball
6:50
players are eating like the ketchup goes down and almost
6:55
lands on their shoe and they're being messy.
6:57
And then here comes Jack. If it doesn't get in all over
7:00
your face, you know and. Yeah.
7:06
And I'm like, dude, whatever happened to that?
7:08
I missed that. Like even coming out here, it's
7:10
like, y'all don't know? jack-in-the-box is that if it
7:14
doesn't get all over your face, if it doesn't get all over the
7:16
place, it doesn't belong in your face.
7:17
You never heard of that? Oh man.
7:21
See, it's a West Coast thing. Sarah Menace 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.
7:43
I used to love that, yeah. So that was across from the
7:46
schools. Like everybody would go there to
7:48
eat or to Togo to eat. Yeah, work.
7:52
And then a few blocks away is the mall and the malls like
7:57
thousands of square feet. You go from like one place to
8:00
the elder and you just walk your ass from there and Virgin
8:06
Megastore and in there is like air conditioner forever.
8:11
So coldest place ever. Yeah, yeah, like.
8:13
I don't know what it's like. They have it at freaking
8:15
negatives and stuff. Yeah.
8:18
And I'd go in there and say it'd be nice.
8:20
It's like because there was this one girl that used to go, that
8:26
used to work there and show up at my job at Togos and like,
8:33
yeah, hey, what's going on? How you doing, dude?
8:35
All right, cool. Yeah, hey, all that shit.
8:37
He's like, she'd be nice as hell.
8:39
And it was like, finally, it's like, let me fucking go to her
8:41
job. She hates it.
8:45
Like like, wait, so you're, so you're a completely different
8:49
person when you're over there, when you're outside of work.
8:51
I was like, I, I see that. I see that now.
8:54
I. Understand now, I understand now
8:56
because God damn. But she was cool as hell and
9:00
when I showed up it was like Oh yeah, hey, what's going on, man?
9:04
But that place was awesome. Yeah, it I want to say Hot Topic
9:12

9:18
Journeys, Journeys like journey's still around.
9:22
That's where I used to get my shoes all the time.
9:24
Cuz I used to hang. Out with skaters and like, I'm
9:27

9:29
What do you wear? D So I was like, OK, so I went
9:33
to Journeys, bought those shoes, bought some stuff.
9:36
It's like everything in there is expensive.
9:37
But yeah, yeah. It's worth it.
9:41

9:48
Look at you, look at you. Hot Topic.

11:21
I'm leaving. The Virgin Megastore was
11:23
awesome, and of course you got the Sears, Ross, all that other
11:28
shit. But like, you had what every
11:31
teenager wanted at the time. Those four places, the video
11:36
game places, I forgot what they were called.
11:38
On the video game place, let's see, we in Texas, we had Funko
11:42
Land. Funko Land.
11:44
That and then Britain would just have Funko land really.
11:48
And then they switched to GameStop or you or you go like
11:55
go to Toys-R-Us or whatever, or EB Toys.
11:59
Not not EB toys, KB toys. And story about that is when
12:05
WrestleMania 2000 hit for 64. That was during the time when it
12:10
was completely sold out and you couldn't find a copy nowhere.
12:15
And this was, and I mean, my mother, she, it was like doing
12:17
Christmas. We was looking at Target,
12:19
Walmart, KB Toys. We couldn't get it.
12:25
Then like a couple months later she surprised me and I came home
12:29
from school and it's right there on the counter.
12:33
WrestleMania 2000 black Cartridge Black.
12:38
Cartridge. Oh my God, the black cartridge.

13:41
It really it's alternative. It's a new way for I never heard
13:46
Michael Jackson song yeah, covered this way ever.
13:50
And these dudes just like killed it.
13:52
And the aesthetic of the music video is there in the ring.
13:56
They're doing wrestling moves. So they have the wrestling
13:59
audience and the Rock audience and like little kids also doing
14:05
the whole moves and shit and all that.
14:07
And I'm just like, that's awesome, dude.
14:08
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.
14:32
It is all like slow rhythm and I'm like, what took those things
14:41
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
The there's another album that came out and again another like
15:02
one hit. In there because I didn't.
15:05
Listen to the other album. Yeah, I.
15:06
Didn't like, you know, I already.
15:08
I already know where this is going.
15:10
Yeah. Your first hit.
15:13
That first song is gonna hit, and then the rest of the album's
15:15
gonna suck. Yeah, I'm good.
15:17
Right I. Don't want to deal with this
15:20
again. Dang, I'm so glad for that too,
15:22
because like every other stuff that I went in there for, like,
15:26
all right, let me listen to Aaliyah.
15:27
Let me listen to before they had, what's her name?
15:31
Black Eyed Peas? Fergie.
15:34
Like I listened to that they had and there's like a an awesome
15:38
math band and I'm like this girl, why is she ruining this
15:41
place? Who else?
15:45
There's a bunch of stuff back in lateness that I used to go in
15:51
there to listen to. Yeah.
15:53
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 Gorillas album was like that too.
16:10
I remember all. I remember Venica.
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 her.
16:40
No, we're good. What other music I forgot?
16:48
Dude it was just like so crazy at the time in the 90s. 90s you
16:54
had to 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, I'm saying because of the flow, 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
I'm like, hit him up one. Oh my.
17:32
God, so mainly. Hit him up and I'm just like, he
17:36
murdered him. Yep, it's just a crazy time,
17:39
man, and and thing, and I always say to this day, I just wish
17:45
those I wish those dudes, man, I wish they could have just had a
17:48
conversation by their self right, without everybody
17:52
without, without the interference, man.
17:55
It's just it's just crazy though.
17:57
But they still live on, man, right here, both of them looking
18:02
over me. Oh.
18:04
Yeah, dude. Oh yeah, like every time.
18:12
The most iconic poster of Biggie is when he has the crown.
18:17
Yeah, actually been looking for that poster, but I can't track
18:20
it down. I I just can't.
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
18:45
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. Oh man, actually.
19:00
Like stands in front of he stands in front of Biggie, not
19:04
in front of whole crown thing but in front of biggie to where
19:06
the crown was like slanted over. Yeah, it's.
19:09
Him and it's like this is awesome I love it.
19:12
Also, every title of that episode is a song from Onyx.
19:18
Yeah, I was clever how they they do.
19:23
Yeah, it's like every like every time, like the the title, like I
19:30
read the title. I was like, oh, I went over and
19:32
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.
19:46
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 mean, you're made for us.
20:02
That first season was that first season was held or first season
20:05
but epic though if you ask me. Yeah, they should have never
20:11
killed off cottonmouth. No, no.
20:14
They should, they shouldn't, because as soon as that show,
20:16
like as soon as the cottonmouth was passed out, you know it.
20:20
I'm like, what is the second storyline?
20:22
What the hell is this? What they gonna do now, what
20:24
they're like. This is ridiculously down here.
20:27
From there I like. That next three, next three
20:30
episodes of Something different, I'm like, they should have ended
20:31
it right there. Then wow, why you still either
20:34
continue with Cottonmouth or just like end the show right
20:37
there where he does. They're like, don't bring
20:38
another character 3 episodes yeah before you're the season
20:44
finale. And then what?
20:46
And then I couldn't stand like I was like that.
20:48
That like killed me from watching season 2.
20:51
I haven't watched season 2. I I was like season 2 episode.
20:55
One I saw. It I was like, oh.
20:56
Did they have three seasons or two?
20:58
I can't. Leanne was in the chat.
21:02
Hello. Yeah, but I wanted to ask you
21:04
though. Yes, Sir.
21:06
I know you. I know your big on Marvel Rivals
21:11
and I just wanted to know what what was the motivation for you
21:15
to start playing that and what did it?
21:18
What did I mean? What did it do for you though?
21:20
You know I'm saying I'll be seeing a video and stuff.
21:22
You're so cold at it though, you know I'm saying dude.
21:26
Yeah, remember in 2020 we had Marvel Avengers.
21:33
Yeah. And how it died.
21:37
Yeah. In 2020, I was so heavy.
21:42
In 2019-2020, whatever I came out around there, I was so heavy
21:46
into Marvel Avengers. And I said I, I want something
21:49
new to like, get me through 2020, you know, besides July
21:54
when I joined this place over here.
21:58
Yeah. But in 2020, I just started,
22:02
like, awesome. This is so cool.
22:05
And I like, it's cool. Like everybody was just, like,
22:08
playing it. And I'm just playing it and I'm
22:09
learning new stuff. I didn't know who Kamala Khan
22:12
was. I didn't know who MODOK was.
22:14
I from. Yeah, I'm sorry.
22:17
It's like, yeah, from watching the show during all that stuff,
22:22
I knew MODOK. Yeah, but.
22:24
It was like very cool. This is awesome.
22:25
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's what's 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. Was it 20?
23:27
21 or 2022 around there, because I know I talked about it on the
23:30
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 in the meantime, here's
23:38
Guardians of the Galaxy. Not the same.
23:40
I downloaded it. It's not the same.
23:43
It's story driven. All this shit.
23:45
This this one just felt like completely different early last
23:50
year around this time, because the one year anniversary of it
23:54
around this time, he's other developers are like we're
23:58
creating a new game. We're like coming out with a new
24:00
game called marvel rivals. And I'm like, what does that
24:03
mean? You know, is it like this new
24:08
thing going? I was like, are we gonna do like
24:12
fight? I was gonna be like Capcom
24:13
versus Marvel, right? The first thought I had right.
24:16
Yeah. And like, no, I don't know.
24:23
We don't. Nobody knew what was going on.
24:24
So as soon as I saw the whole title Rivals, I'm like, what
24:30
does this mean? And I'm all interested, invested
24:32
in it. I'm all interested in it.
24:33
I started following the pages, I started looking at stuff.
24:36
I started investigating, doing my own investigation.
24:39
I said last year, I can't wait for this game to come out.
24:43
My rivals gonna be awesome. Can't wait.
24:45
And then we started seeing new footage of it, people gameplay
24:50
and like at the Game Awards, we start seeing game.
24:54
Yeah. The trailers and I'm like, oh
24:56
hell yeah, it's going to be a six person versus six person
25:00
shooter game, shooter game. And they're like, oh, so it's
25:03
going to be like whatever. That whole game, I don't know
25:07
what it's called. I don't even play it.
25:09
Modern, not Modern Warfare. Oh, Overwatch.
25:14
It's going to be like Overwatch. Like what is that?
25:16
I don't know what Overwatch is. And then I I do now.
25:20
Yeah. Oh, shit.
25:22
Well, no, it's not like Overwatch.
25:24
It feels like Overwatch. It's not.
25:27
All right, So you know what's going to happen?
25:30
How many players are going to be there?
25:31
Like, not players. How many characters 36, Like,
25:34
oh, shit, 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 in the season.
25:43
It's like, what do you mean seasons?
25:45
You're going to keep creating more stuff.
25:46
You're not going to come out with Marvel Rivals 2?
25:48
Marvel Rivals three. No, we're going to keep creating
25:51
stuff for you. I'm in.
25:54
Yeah. When does it come out for
25:56
people? It's probably going to come out
25:57
in January. If he wants Season 0, it's going
26:00
to come out in December. Oh, let me get Season 0 beta and
26:05
I'm just like, fuck yes. I was like, so I started
26:09
listening to watching all this other stuff that's going on
26:12
there and all the dev talk and how they're fixing things, how
26:16
their their interviews and stuff and telling us like, so we
26:19
included Penny Parker, we included this stuff.
26:21
We included this stuff. Yeah, hell yeah, I'm invested in
26:25
this. This is amazing.
26:26
Yeah, all. Right, cool.
26:29
There's Discord group, there's TikTok, there's Twitter there's
26:37
all over the social, it's all over the places and it's a
26:41
community and I love it and I go in there and I'm just like hey,
26:46
like I need help here. Can you guys help me go up to
26:50
rankings and stuff and, you know, tips and tricks and
26:53
YouTube, YouTube help, of course.
26:55
But they're like, you know, try all that stuff.
27:00
And so I finally grabbed the freaking thing in December and I
27:06
was like put in hours and hours and hours and I just like,
27:10
forget about everything. Leave me alone for the next few
27:14
days. Leave me alone for the next few
27:16
hours. Leave me alone for the next
27:17
month. Yes, I remember.
27:20
It helped you remember, right? I haven't talked, I haven't
27:23
talked to you in such a long time.
27:26

27:41
because I ain't got no PS-5. And then the girl at my job,
27:46

27:48

29:19
Yeah. And I'm just like, you know, I'm
29:22
dealing with seasonal depression and I'm like, I don't know what
29:29
to do. I'm going to chill and not do
29:31
the podcast for a while. It's December, you know, it's
29:35
fucking cold. No light, no, the the sun is out
29:39
off again. And I'm just like, you know,
29:41
dealing in my own stuff. It's just like, and the game
29:46
comes out. The game comes out and I'm there
29:48
forever and I don't see sunlight for another few days.
29:54
Just like like the season zero. I went, it's like I I did a
30:00
what's it called? I did a recap of season 0 of how
30:03
I did of I call it the my marvel rivals career and I went 86
30:11
hours or 100 hours damn gaming. And I'm just like I need to
30:17
touch grass bro what the hell is this?
30:19
Just like what is going on. Yay.
30:25
But now I'm just like, Oh well, fuck, you know, like every other
30:29
season I checked like how I'm doing this season compared to
30:33
last season, it's like, Oh yeah, I'm doing great.
30:34
I'm doing more. I'm putting in more hours than I
30:36
did last season. This season, not so much.
30:39
My God, like, all right, I see, I see y'all do I see what y'all
30:42
did this season? I kind of like, stopped because
30:47
some shit was going on with other people.
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
are healers going on strike? This is dumb.
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 dumb ass.
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 and all the games that I do.
31:44
All right, it's time to learn a new new character.
31:47
So I did all the strategist and I started doing the strategist.
31:50
If you do 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 sound like a douche bag.
32:06
Dang whatever, 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, you
32:33
know? Everybody needed that.
32:34
Yeah, I did. You know what I'm saying?
32:36
Yeah, I'm glad you got that though, you know what I'm
32:40
saying? Yeah.
32:42
And you're very passionate about it too.
32:44
Really. For.
32:45
Real. What about you?
32:48
Like do you have a game or like something like that that'll just
32:51
would help you? With AI got I got the PS4 and I
32:55
got 3W2K from last year not to new.
33:01
Yeah. Yeah, and you know the island
33:07
and I ain't got the island. I probably ain't going to get
33:09
that night, but I'm going from last year, you know, I just, I
33:14
was just creating different wrestlers, yeah, different women
33:20
on there. And I just go through the
33:21
universe and I went about the season pass.
33:25
So I got basically everybody and I beat the showcase.
33:28
It took me forever to beat the showcase, but I did it.
33:31
It does. And it's just, it's so much
33:34
objectives and crap. Not like I, I seen this stuff,
33:37
like I live this stuff, but no, it, it, you know, it, you know,
33:42
it helped me, you know, it helped me with my, with my
33:45
depression, you know, and but then it got to the point where I
33:49
just didn't want to, I didn't even want to play it like I was
33:52
so messed up. But you know and.
33:55
And sometimes games do that where it's like, alright, it
33:58
feels like so much is going on. Yeah, yeah.
34:00
And get another game. Yeah.
34:04
Get another game, create something, do something new.
34:08
But I mean, you know, like, yeah, I was there.
34:13
I mean, I was there for me. And and you know what, I'm gonna
34:17

34:36
You know, it just warmed my heart, you know what I'm saying?

34:40
It brought me to tears because I was, like I said, I have never
34:43
seen those family this old passionate about wrestling.
34:46
I was just laughing. And I'm a repression my my
34:50
problems. They just, they just went away.
34:53
You know what I'm saying? And I was just so happy to be in
34:56

34:58
wasn't on the stream with y'all, but I was on YouTube.
35:01
You know what I'm saying? It just, it just made me happy.

Yeah, but 2K24, like how you said that, it's like you had to
36:17
do different things in there, man.
36:20
It's come a long way from just doing like one single thing on.
36:24
That yeah, it's wild, I'll tell you that.
36:28
It's involved like from compared to what we grew up with back in
36:33
the day, right? WrestleMania 2000 and WF War
36:37
Zone and. War zone.
36:39
War zone, dude. That a war zone.

though. Just do a finishing move and
36:50
like. Hold on.
36:51
Up, down. What circle square just to do a
36:56
stunner. I like Dang, this was Diggy and
36:59

37:03
Like I like, I like. You can see the blue on the rain
37:08
side now. Tip for the the the gaming
37:14
magazine Tipton tricks and like I would always buy it for and
37:19
like I look all the way in the back, of course, because WWF
37:22
would be in the back, yeah, you know, and like, but every other
37:26
one like would be like, all right, all my favorite games
37:29
that I'm playing right now is like, well, no, you do this and
37:33
this and this cool mental image, mental image, mental image.
37:37
No, I gotta buy this. Yeah, I gotta buy that.
37:41
Same thing actually. Boots too.
37:43
I would shoot. Take the book to my friends
37:48
house who has the game. It's like all right, here it is.
37:50
Here's how we get big head on. You.
37:55
Play these characters. You play this character and this
37:58
character and this character and then bam, that's how we get big
38:01
head for Ahmed Johnson and Farooq.
38:06
There was other stuff too, and I forgot all about them, but there
38:10
was other stuff too, with no mercy.
38:16
Hold down the little butt stick and you act like it's you're
38:21
down forever. Like nobody will touch you.
38:24
I mean, people will touch you, but like, all right, you know,
38:27
if you want to play Possum and everything and like, get up at
38:30
the very last minute and you can throw people out.
38:32
Yeah, cool. Like I did that.
38:33
It was like, I found out. I found that out.
38:35
And I was like, this is awesome. I love it.
38:38
Change the colors for every character on Did You Have No
38:46
Mercy? I did.
38:47
Or did you have the WWI had WCWNWO Revenge and I had and I
38:56
had WrestleMania 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.
39:09
And I'm just like throw do. That's the one where I was like
39:13
changing color for everybody, the NWO colors.
39:17
Idea, too, for every man's idea too, people with what he's
39:20
supposed to be in the NWL was on my own in the NWL, my game.
39:23
I had Sting, I had the little ninja dude on there.
39:28
Oh. My God, the ninja dude.
39:31
There's some guy that freaking threw like punches and it's
39:34
like. Yeah.
39:35
Time they threw a punch, they made that other character bleed
39:38
and it's like. Yeah, I remember that.
39:43
They they look at them, they look at themselves like they
39:45
touched the blood and they didn't.
39:46
Yeah, pass out. It's like I remember that.
39:49
Yeah, I remember that too. And you can hear it, you know
39:51
when you did it because of that. And then here, look at it and
39:56
file down. I like that.
39:58
That is the most awesome thing ever.
40:02
And. Say that one of my friends
40:04
borrowed the No Mercy game from another person, from another
40:08
dude, and like, he started playing it at his house.
40:11
We all we were all there just fucking hanging out, four
40:14
controllers and everything. And one day he just told me he's
40:16
like, I'm gonna return this game, but I'm gonna put another
40:19
game in there. Yeah.
40:21
So like, all right, cool. So I didn't.
40:23
He told me later that he couldn't grab this dude's game
40:26
also. Yeah, put it in there.
40:28
And then his mom worked at a shipping company.
40:33
Return everything back with and all that stuff.
40:37
So like it was fine. So we take it back because he
40:40
paid money for it, and we take it back and we're just like, OK,
40:43
now let's fucking go before we find out that we did.
40:46
Something. 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 stuff. 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 Goldeneye. Goldeneye, yeah.
41:16
Cost 64 Yes Sir Mario, Mario 64 cost up the regular Mario and I
41:26
used to just bar games from people and not give them back.
41:32
That's how I racked up my 64 collection.
41:34
I said now I ain't got your game whatever.
41:36
And damn me my. Friend came back, man.
41:40
Yeah, I didn't give my game back.
41:42
Back, dude, I said. He said.

43:52
My brother was the one that got me into Pokémon because he found
43:55
out about Pokémon before he came out.
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
like you're, you're like some little kid is telling you like
44:11
about Pokémon and Pokémon stars and Power Rangers and I'm just
44:15

44:30
Yeah, that and. I'm looking at my little
44:33
brothers, like, So what else do you know?
44:37
He's like, OK, he's the one that collected all this stuff and
44:41
everything and, like, talked the other night because I was like,

45:35
though, Like nothing wrong with that, of course, right.
45:38
It's exciting now, like I was telling you not too long ago,

46:23
And I'm so I'm just I'm gonna say this right now.
46:26
I am shame. Say this, I'm so proud.
46:29
I'm so proud of you for what you, I mean, how far we come,
46:35
came back to when we was doing all that stuff and just to see
46:40
you, you know, you're coming to your home, man, you're
46:44
whispering stuff and, and everything, man, I'm so proud of
46:49
you. Be specific.
46:51
Be specific ASMR. ASMR, whatever.
46:55
Like I can't, I don't know them terms, big grade terms like.
47:00
All right, Craig, with whispers like you make it sound like I'm.
47:03
Hey, what's up, girl? How you doing?
47:05
Yeah. Now you ain't doing it, but
47:07
it's. Something like that.
47:08
I heard they do that, not like that.
47:09
You know that like that. You know those are some fools
47:12
after they do that kind of crap. God.
47:13
I know and like the girls freaking get.
47:16
I was like, I've seen tech Harper just like think TikTok
47:21

47:24
And I'm just like, really? Okay, they make them get away
47:27
with it, man. Yeah, man.
47:31
But the whispering stuff, dude, I started because I've been
47:36
listening to nothing but whispering for the the last 10
47:39
years. And yeah.
47:41
Like, you know what, you know what I haven't seen?
47:43
I've seen everybody do this whole card, things like going.
47:46
Like this the. Entire time showing it off.
47:48
Yeah. And you know what I haven't
47:50
seen? Lore.
47:51
Yeah. Telling stories.
47:52
Yeah. Let me do that.
47:55
Let me whisper a story, yeah? You're kidding me with that
47:57
though, yeah. Yeah, like so let me do a story
48:01
about this Pokémon right here. Let me tell you, because all
48:05
you're showing are the Hollows, and it's like, all right, that's
48:07
cool. Yeah, great.
48:10
I came to see the other Pokémon though too.
48:12
Like let me. Show me the other Pokémon.
48:14
So instead of just showing off and stuff, like, all right,
48:17
cool. I've seen other creators on
48:19
YouTube also like, Oh my God, look, Oh my God, yes.
48:23
That's the kind of ones that I like, especially when they're
48:27
adult creators. Yeah, from.
48:29
Another project, another place. The the the orange and black
48:35
one. Yeah, that one.
48:38
Yeah. The Hub.
48:40
And then like, oh, shit, like this person from the Hub, and
48:45
she's doing this the entire time and whispering into the
48:48
microphone, and I was like, like, I'd rather be listening to
48:53
this 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
Yeah. And I have.
49:01
And so I was like, you know, that gave me that inspired me to
49:05
do my own like, 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. The Wanda.
49:13
With the Wanda Maximoff and the story Rich where I turned up the
49:17
echo and I said her name Whisper or Wanda, and it worked and I'm
49:21
just like, that is 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

50:58
Yeah, an excuse to talk about it this way is like, yeah, whenever
51:02

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 went to the comic book
51:29
store today to a new comic book store.
51:31
I haven't gone one to in a while because I don't have the funds.
51:36
But I went to a new comic book store.

52:24
Damn. Oh.

Did you have Avhs rewinder? No, my cousin did but we didn't.
1:10:50
We just had a VCR. VCR and then like you couldn't
1:10:53
do it on the VCR because you're watching another movie so here
1:10:56
and it takes too damn long. So the VHS we unwinder it takes
1:11:00
longer. Is it done yet?
1:11:03
Like, no, it'll tell you when. No, it won't.
1:11:07
Like this shit's still there and it's still like a.
1:11:09

1:11:12
All right. Thanks for coming on man.
1:11:15
Brother, it was my pleasure, man, man.
1:11:20
Before we go though. Before we go.
1:11:22
I want to use this opportunity to play the game that I'm
1:11:25
already playing. Who's that Pokémon?
1:11:28
But we're going to use wrestlers.
1:11:30
OK. So, Greg, can you name this
1:11:33
wrestler? Just a clue and the worst way I
1:11:35
can possibly describe 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 win
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, yes, Sir.
1:12:36
Yes, Sir. Way into the history.
1:12:37
It may glow up a literal thing. Here's another one.
1:12:39
Clue number one more letter than a biker bar in 1999.
1:12:45
Clue #2 wore sunglasses inside before it was like, ironic.
1:12:49
Ironic, yeah. OK.
1:12:53
Clue number 31 strength beer like it was electrolytes.
1:12:59
Clue #4 His neck probably still hurt from carrying the company.
1:13:05
Clue number 5 has cash phrases that printed more money than
1:13:08
PayPal. Clue number six, a part of his
1:13:15
body had his own storyline. Clue #7 could cook something.
1:13:23
Nobody ever tasted it though. Clue #8 made a catch phrase a
1:13:32
household insult. Who's that wrestler?
1:13:37
Rock. The Rock Jabroni made Jabroni a
1:13:41
household insult and the Eyebrow had his own storyline.
1:13:46
And if you didn't smell what he was cooking, were you even alive
1:13:48
in the 90s? One more tag team for Wild back
1:13:55
then. Half of them look like they met
1:13:56
in detention. Trying to do.
1:13:59
One looked like he slept in camo, the other looked like a
1:14:01
Hot Topic employee. Clue #2 their intro music
1:14:06
sounded like a mosh pit with bass issues.
1:14:12
Clue #3 somehow always had tables nearby.
1:14:20
Clue number 41 screamed like it was a breakfast order.
1:14:25
Clue #5 probably responsible for half the broken spines in the
1:14:29
history. Clue number six had more tag
1:14:34
gold than in a mid 2000s rapper. 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's the. Dudley's once get the tables
1:15:05
like it was a breakfast order. Brother, I heard Hot Topic.
1:15:10
That's why I say. That's why I say Hardee's.
1:15:12
Yeah. And so I was like Hot Topic.
1:15:13
I was confused by that. I was like, oh, wait, Bubba.
1:15:16
All right, I get it. Yeah, makes sense, boys.
1:15:20
Dudley's menu, Yeah. Yeah, the menu, tables, tables.
1:15:25
If you know, you know. All right, man.
1:15:29
And that's a wrap on the rat ride down memory lane, complete
1:15:33
with scratch CDs, neon graphics and more 90s attitudes in a DX
1:15:37
reunion tour. Suck it.
1:15:43
Big shout out to my dude Greg for jumping in The Time Machine

1:15:49
righteous segment we've ever dropped.
1:15:51
Shoot the shit. We're going to rename it, don't
1:15:53
worry. Don't worry, we're going to
1:15:54
rename it. The title of this, the title of
1:15:57
this episode on Spotify is going to be something else, because I
1:15:59
think I can put that in there. Yeah, it'll be ugly.
