  Speaker 1: Yet a chill show. Before I say a chill smoke show.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Fuck yeah, that's what we're doing this week. Aaron's not here.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I can't even remember where the fuck he went. I
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: think he was doing a book thing again for all
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the smart author people. But, like, he's out, like, doing
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: his thing. Doing his pantsless thing. So, Augie and I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: are here to just fucking chill and smoke this... Holy crap, dude.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: The fuck? Why is everything not working right this morning?
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: This is fucked up. Let's just get high and see
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: what the fuck happens. Because who knows? This might not
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: even come out now. I don't even fucking know what's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: going to happen. We're going to smoke this King Palm freaking...
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: blunt wrap that has a flavor thing, a fruit passion
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in it with some really nice herb and get this
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: fucking thing going because Jesus Christ. Let's hope this like
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: kick starts this because if not, like no joke, the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: whole intro of this thing is going to be just
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: cut and I'll just be like, yo, here's a chill show. Like,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: fuck it. Just get right into whatever the fuck we're
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: talking about instead.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't help that we're dealing with stomach issues,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and it has already completely wiped me, and the day
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: hasn't even started yet. Yeah. Like, I'm already exhausted.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Like, today started way slower than it should have, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that's basically my fault. I got out of bed way
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: later than I wanted to. We had to get stuff done,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and it was like, by the time we got back here,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, we've got to do this recording. And
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: as much as I'd like to wait to do it
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: later on, I know if we wanted to do it later,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: it would not come out either, because I just want
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to chill today. Like, I am in that mode. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: then I was like, well, why not have a fucking
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: chill show? And then he's like, yeah, let's just smoke
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and then have a chill show, and then we'll just
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: see what happens. We can update you guys on at
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: least what we've been up to. I know Aaron's not here,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and he's very excited to talk about his new device.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: The WinGDP or whatever the fuck it was. GPU. We
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: should talk all about that so he can't talk about it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: He can pretty much run everything. No, I'm just kidding.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I'd be fucked up. I'd be fucking wrong.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I know nothing about it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: This is a mini computer. Okay, seriously, let's get the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: fuck out of this shit. Augie, talk about something, anything. No,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that's fair.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: It's just been a long week, and as I said,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: at least I'm currently going through some stomach issues, so
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: it's kind of... Not been a good weekend for sitting
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: down and trying to be entertaining, I'll be honest.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which sucks. I'm sorry. How about we do this?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the last episode. Just a little bit.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go too in-depth because I know
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: we got some comments and stuff. But from what I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: can tell, it seems like everybody had a good time
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: with the Beefy Eopardy episode that, luckily enough, we had
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: my parents on and they were contestants for, which was
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: just fucking funny shit. So I wanted to bring that
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: up now before we got into breaks in the comments
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and stuff, mostly because if you haven't heard that episode
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: or seen it yet, if you're on Patreon, you can
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: watch the video version. Fucking go check that out now. Like,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: pause this, go back, check that out. Because that shit
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: was just, it was great. And I'm not saying it's
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: going to be the precedent for the standard from this
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: point forward for Beefy Eberty, in my opinion. But I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: think it was one of the best ones we've had. Like,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the category is it was great and it was a change.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: It's something we don't normally do with those types of categories,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you know. So it's a little different.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: What do you think? Because I know those are categories
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you were specialized in at all and you were one
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of the contestants.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, Aaron does a really good job at just
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: coming up with good trivia. So you know them or
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you don't. That's kind of how it goes. But yeah,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: guest shows are always fun because it's always fun getting
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the same reaction every single time. Everyone being nervous or
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: unsure in the beginning and then towards the end it's
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: like begging to do it again.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yes and it's true too i think that goes with
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: almost anybody who goes on to anything so you've.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Gotten the same exact reaction from everybody everybody who's been
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: on the show is the same thing as like once
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: they've been on it once they want to be on
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: it again which i suppose is a good thing.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah and it's a lot of fun everybody gets to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: do their thing and have fun doing it you know
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: make other people laugh and shit it's just it's just
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a good time all around um so definitely go back
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: check that out um Let's get out of that because
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get too much into that because
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of later on stuff.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Fuck.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you want to get into gaming
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: things a little bit?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: We didn't talk about gaming. We're not doing anything new.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Nothing new. We jumped into Grounded 2, which was released
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: not too long ago.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're playing through Obsidian Entertainment's Grounded 2. that is
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: slowly being pumped out of new content, mostly because they
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: were tapped by Xbox and Microsoft to go do a
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Vegas remake, and that's the only thing we really care about.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, yes.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: We're big fanboys of Obsidian Entertainment because of their previous works,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: but that's pretty much the only thing we're really looking
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: forward to. But yeah, we're going through Grounded 2 right now.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: We technically have already played through up to current.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Pretty close to it, yeah.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But we did so in a way that we didn't
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: really experience it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: We missed a lot of the story.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: We missed a lot of stuff. So we're going back,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: just us going back through it again.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like a house server type of thing. So it's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: pretty nice. We're really taking our time, though. Yeah. I
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: think we haven't progressed anything from the beginning.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we made a house rule that essentially if not
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: everybody is on, we aren't progressing, period. You can go
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: around and go get gear, explore to an extent. You
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: can build, but you're not allowed to go and do
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: story elements. You're not allowed to go unlock something because
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: you really, really want to do it, but it'll... forward
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: things ahead, stuff like that. Like, yeah, we don't do
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: any of that.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: No. Which has been awesome because it's like, oh, cool,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: none of us are going to miss anything. But at
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the same time, I'm like, why can't I find half
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the shit? I'm like, oh, yeah, because we haven't gotten
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to that point to unlock the thing that shows us
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: where things are. And I'm like, oh, fuck.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Also, I've noticed when it comes to these types of games, too,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I also have to restrict myself in many ways because
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: it is extremely easy to get into that, like, the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: optimized mindset.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Right, right, which you get into hardcore. I do, but....
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I honestly would say that I am not– I don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: really because there is a much– there's a huge difference
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: between optimized building and aesthetically pleasing stuff. I do a
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: mixture of the both. I make it so that way
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: it's convenient, easy, and makes sense.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: But I also want to make sure that it cosmetically
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: or aesthetically.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It looks good. Like you're actually designing something.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I could just do a fucking like a 10 by
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: 10 brick of just everything with on top of each other.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And it would be far more optimized for our needs.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: With a bench in the center or something. Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: And everything just around it, like right around it. Not like.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the way I have it set up where they're like
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: in nice little cubbies or, or really well organized with everything. No,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: like I could literally just shove everything into a fucking
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: brick and it would work just the same, but it
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: wouldn't look good.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: No. Right. And it's crazy too. Cause it's either like, Oh,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this is a survival building fighting. Like you're just trying
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to get like, get through this game. I'm actually good
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: on that right now. You keep smoking. If you'd like
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to help yourself. Go for it. Um, And it's something like,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about that shit. You can
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: just like, oh, I'm going to build up, I put
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: all my shit there, get what I need, and go
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: out and play the game. Which is usually what I do.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I build the bare minimum in practically every game, though.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: But when Augie does it, like, yeah, we'll start with like, okay,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: we need these ten elements right away. Somewhere safe, you know,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: water supply, food supply, building supplies, all this shit, crafting shit.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And Augie will have this all like, bam, done. And
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: then once the main shit's done, Augie is like, alright,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start building something over here is gonna
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: be the real thing. So this is our starter, like,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: we got stranded on this island, this is our starter thing,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: was make sure we can survive, cool. While we're surviving,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Augie's like, I'm building a complex.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Over here.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Multiple buildings, multiple floors. And it's not just like, here's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a four by four room and there's a roof and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: here's some stairs. Augie's like, no, there's rooms within this room.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I like specializing.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It looks so good.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Like you said, the initial start. As long as there's
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: an initial start base that meets all the general needs,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: that's how we start. Now, that being said, there's a
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: lot of needs to be met in that game. Everything
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: from food, water, to shelter, to weapons, armor, access to materials.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: And they even added this other thing called coziness. Coziness
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: is essentially, it encourages building. It encourages also like furnishing
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that while you're building.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Which is something that breaks. It gives you.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Direct bonuses for doing so. Like the lower bonuses just
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: reduce the amount of times you need to eat and
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: drink while you're in the proximity. But the late bonus
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: gives you straight up health regeneration, which is super useful
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: since you're constantly taking damage from everything anyways. And instead
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: of wasting healing items, you can just stand around for
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: like five seconds and be good.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: While in the safety.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Of your own base.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Exactly uh but but yeah but but i i love
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: to specialize and one other thing one of the first
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: things we're doing we haven't worked on anything else is
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: steve decided to set up like a battle arena area
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: where he gets the uh the enemies which are bugs
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: uh to basically go after each other he had for
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: some reason found the one spot and i'm actually kind.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Of interested why that is too. I wish I had
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the video.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: He found the one spot where a lot of the
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: big early.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Like the mid.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Big tier like monsters slash bugs like to patrol through.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: There's a giant scorpion, an orb weaver, two pombadier beetles
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: and like.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: A ladybug and a stinkbug.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: And for whatever reason they all like to converge through
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: this one area. And normally they just leave each other
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: alone But they can be encouraged to fight each other sometimes.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: And a big one like the scorpion likes to also
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: pick fights with just about anything it sees, too.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: But there's also a prey mantis there, too, I noticed. Yeah. Yeah.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: This game is, like, really cool. It's Honey, I Shrunk
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the Kids. It's very nostalgia of that.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: If you've never heard of Grounded before, if this is, like,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the first time hearing about it, it is Honey, I
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Shrunk the Kids, but, like, survival.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: From back then, too. Like, the datedness of, like, back
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: early 90s.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: There is story elements, really good story elements. Again, made
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: by Obsidian Entertainment, a company that... Using the Fallout IP
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: made Fallout New Vegas, so if you're familiar with that game,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you know exactly what we're talking about when we're like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it's a good fucking game. Yeah. Despite all its flaws
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and bugs.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: You don't care. Fallout, you don't give a fuck about
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a guy who crashed.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: To their credit.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: The reason why Fallout New Vegas was as buggy as
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: it was because they were given like nine months to
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: make it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Which is BS.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: And not given any time to iron anything out or
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: do half of the shit that they had prepared before.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: for it. With talks of them going back and making
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: a remaster, our hopes is as they turn around and said, okay,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: we'll do this, but you're going to have to let
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: us have time to finish it. Because at this point,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: they have a reputation that they need to protect.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Grounded 1 was fucking phenomenal.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: So they can't be messing around being like, no, we're
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: not pumping out... No, we're not pulling another Obsidian... Not Obsidian.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Pulling out another Bethesda Oblivion remake where... They just graphically
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: updated the game.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Kept it broken.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: But kept it broken, which.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, we did it for nostalgia.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Which is fine, but the thing is, if that was
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the case, then just go back and play the original. Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: They already remastered the original without the better graphics.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Without costing anything for mods.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: But they just made it run better. And you could
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: just go and buy that, and it's like half the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: price of the actual remake, which is just graphically up,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: but still has everything, including this save bug, where if
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you only have a limited amount of saves, and then
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: it just crashes.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: What?
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: That was the problem with.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: You had to delete so many of them.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: That was the problem with Cybernetic. He loved that game.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: It was his favorite in the series. He liked it
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: more than Skyrim and Morrowind.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, shit.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I loved Skyrim more.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Skyrim's awesome. But... The little bit I
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: played of it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: The reason why he could never beat that game was
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: because he would literally get that bug where he couldn't
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: save anymore and he couldn't load his save anymore because
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: it would hit like a limited save file limit and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: it just wouldn't work anymore. No shit.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Don't know why.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And they never fixed it. So like you still have
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: limited amount of saves so you can't be like playing
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: it forever. You have to kind of finish the game
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: at some point or you're going to be soft locked
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: out of doing so.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: That's fucking crazy. I had no idea.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Goddamn old.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Among other things. But yeah, that's kind of where we're
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: sitting now. And again, Grounded 2 is one of those
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: games where we're like, we can't wait to get back
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: And you can ride the bugs. You can get like
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: fucking mounts. Yeah.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: We don't have to go into too great detail about
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: how mechanically it is.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: It's just fun.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Not that it's going to spoil anything, but we just
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: enjoy the shit out of it and we enjoy doing
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: weird stuff with it. I think we talked a lot
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: about like abiotic factor.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Same idea. Survival game. But an abiotic factor, it's not
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: like an open honey. I shrunk the kids world. It's
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: like a what if you weren't Gordon Freeman in Half-Life?
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: You were one of the scientists that came into work
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: late after shit went down. And that's essentially what it is.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I never thought of it that way.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: It is half-life, but you're the scientist, not the main protagonist.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I didn't even think about it that
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: way at all, dude. That's a good point. I like that. Yeah,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: because you're kind of fucked in the beginning of that game.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you are. You literally show up to work, like,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: as shit happens.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Like, so you get in, you get down the elevator,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: you walk into the cafeteria area, and everything's already done.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Everything is already, like, Rifts are everywhere. Aliens are fucking
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: up shit.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: The power's all fucked up. It's only on half the day.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Half the staff is dead. The other half of the
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: staff went crazy and is now trying to actively kill you.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: It's a good game, too.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you got me in today, because I was like.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: And you're not in an orange power suit with a
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: crowbar running around beating people with a fucking... I have
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: a chef's knife.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have a chef's knife if you're lucky.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: You have a leg of a coffee table. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Holy crap.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Like, you are the scientist. You are the dumbass that
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: still had to come into work today. Your boss called
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: you in like, I don't care if the world is ending.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: No one's here to cover your shift and you have
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: to be here.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Like, that's another game too. It has like... What, up
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to eight players or some shit on that one?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: You could go crazy with it, and I'm sure there's more.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I couldn't even imagine. Now, we got pretty damn far.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: We practically beat it. We're like, we are literally at
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the last final trigger event for the ending of the game.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: We just never did it because we knew that they
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: were going to add more in. In fact, they have
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: a DLC coming out in like a month or so.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, no way.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: We're going to be bouncing back and forth between Grounded
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: and the Navy.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, between the two for sure.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: But same idea. I had the same... The same issue
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I'll say in that game is that.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: We have that. Well, I say benefit. You say issue.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: In that one, it doesn't.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Have a shared world, which is a missed opportunity. If
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: it had a shared world, it'd be more fun. But
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: for that one, it's all building and stuff like that,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: but a little bit different. And that's all I do
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: is like when we play, we don't progress unless we're
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: both there and we're both ready to progress. So whenever
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Stevie was working or didn't want to play that day,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I would just still jump on and build. And we
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: would get on and all of a sudden like this,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: what was this like apocalyptic, like, oh man, this is crazy.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: This is scary and shit like that is now just like, oh,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: this is great.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: This is like a mansion.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: It's got everything you could possibly need in it, but
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: like nothing spoiled. Like, no, he's not going to be like,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: would you get this from like, oh, I went ahead
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: and fought the boss and got like, no, no, no,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: it's fine.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: We always do that shit together.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's more fun.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: It really is. I don't play those games and play
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: by myself.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I don't mind building and optimizing shit and organizing shit
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: by myself because I like doing that. It's kind of catharsis,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: cathartic for me. But yeah, going forward and spoiling... story
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: mode or anything like that like i'm i'm a guy
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: who will optimize and i will like min max and
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: shit if i really want to but i won't do
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: so or i won't do it in a way that
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: ruins an experience for somebody else i i'll do it
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: because i want to do it but i won't do
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: it to break the game so that way like you
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: know even though if it does break the game i'll
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: be like yeah this breaks the game i'll only use
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: it for this but i'm not going to use it
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: for this because i don't want to ruin our experience
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: and If I knew I had an item, they're like, oh, yeah,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: this will instantly kill the boss. They'd be like, do
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: you want to use it? And if the answer's no, like, okay,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: we'll do it normal.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll do it normal first. Let's see what we.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Because I'm always like, oh, okay, cool. This is how
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: we can farm him now.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Do it normally first, and then we'll.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Figure out what we need to do to exploit it,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and that's what we do after the fact.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Right. In every RPG, practically, that I play, you can
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: probably contest to this, I don't put my ability points
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: in any of my character until the game's hard enough.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: No, Steve does the opposite of exploit, which is kneecapping.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, is that what it's called?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think it's called that.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: But that should be what it's called, I think.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: It's handicapping actually technically is like because a lot of
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: people do runs like that where they're like okay I'm
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: going to play this game but I'm not going to
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: do not going to put any points on skills Because
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: maybe it made it too easy and they want to
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: see what would happen or see how far you can get.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: And I've done that before. I've done that in Diablo, actually,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: where I'm just like, yeah, I'm just going to level,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: but I'm not going to put points in anything because
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I want to see how far I can get without it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: And in some games, you'd be surprised how far you
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: can actually get without doing a single thing.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Fucking cyberpunk. I did that hard. I was just like,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I have so many points.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Well, that's because... I was also into Cypher.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: That's because I.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Feel like partly it's because they didn't really think about
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: it that far or they know their community well enough
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: that they're like, okay, they all want to play their
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: own way. Some people are going to be like, well,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get cybernetic enhancements. I want to
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: go just full flesh. Or I don't want to put
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: any skills. I want to just be an average Joe
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: just doing this. And yeah, you could You can do
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: that in that game. The only thing I... Like, unless
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you want to... Except for, like, one case where if
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: you want to progress the story, I think you have
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to get, like, your Kuroshi eyes, which just gives you
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: your Corsair and allows you to scan targets or whatever.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Which you can just say at that point, like, well,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you lost your eye in a battle. It's just a replacement.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: But I think the thing is.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: That doesn't count. It's... In.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Lore-wise, like, correct me if I'm wrong, but lore-wise in Cyberpunk,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I think just about everybody gets some sort of, like,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: eye thing.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Everybody has it.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Like, everybody has to, just because of the nature of
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: how society is, like, you need to be able to
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: have access to that shit. So, like, I've Even the
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: homeless have, like, eye shit.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Which is crazy.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: So I'm pretty sure that's just standard. But still, you
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: can be like, okay, no gorilla arms, no mantis blades,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: nothing that boosts your net running shit.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: No hacking shit.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Or no hacking at all.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I've done that.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: No hacking runs. Yeah.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That's fun.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: No scan, no hacking runs. Those are fun.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Just go around and just destroy shit.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Right? Shit like that, dude. Like, I don't know why,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: but that's fucking fun.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: You can go on no killing runs and use just
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: non-lethal weapons like baseball bats or weapons that specifically have, like,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: the modifications on them.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, like, yeah, they're non-lethal. Yeah, yeah. That's so awesome.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Now, Grounded, if you were to do a specific run... Like,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: we obviously haven't beaten the game because they're still adding stuff.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: There's a lot. There's so much more.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Like, when we say there's a lot, they're still adding
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: to it. There's a lot they're still adding to it.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: And we know that they're also.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: We've always done the pre... What do we call it?
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: We've always done, like, the.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Early access. Early access stuff. For the first one in.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: For them. Yeah, for them. Yeah, 100%.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: We don't encourage it for very many other games because
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: sometimes a lot of them... get an early access and
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: stay there or straight up just end ahead of time.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Cause the devs give up on it on the project
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: or the devs feel like they profited off enough of
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: it and just decide, eh, it's a finished game in
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: our eyes. We'll just bug off. I've had that happen
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: to me way too many times, but like, so like, don't,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: don't do early access unless you really want.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: To support the company. Yeah.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Unless you really want to support that company or have
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: some stake in it in some way, like don't, don't
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: early access anything. don't pre-order anything. They always have copies.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: If they're going full digital, that means they always have copies.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: It's different.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: It was different back in the day with physical stuff
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: because they could only print so much And then it'd
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: cost them more to do more.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: But it's not digital. There's no restriction there anymore.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Don't do pre-orders. There's no fucking reason to.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: They're making more money off you for less that you're getting.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: And you're not even owning the games, apparently, half the time.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Now it's all licenses, so.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Most companies, to justify pre-ordering, they have to offer something.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: And whether it's cosmetically in the game... earlier access to
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: said game or something along the lines of like maybe
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: they'll first dlc is free i think um or battle
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: passes shit like that too i can't remember which game
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: did that like they were they're like yeah if you
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: pre-order whatever like the very first like dlc or very
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: first expansion is free but everyone after that you have
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: to pay whatever right um i don't remember which one that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Was So they were incentivized.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, incentivized to do it, which is fine. That's whatever.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: That means you're investing early into the game company and
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: their game to make sure they can turn around and
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: do something. But yeah, anything that doesn't offer anything, they're
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: just like, yeah, just pre-order. Get your game now. Get
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: it now. Like, okay, what do you get?
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: It's not worth it. It's not.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: It's just not.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: It's not. Like I said, if they're pushing digital, then
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: they always have. You have to love that company. Seriously.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: That's the only way that we can justify pre-order. Obsidian, yes.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: That being said, we have bought games that have not
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: been fully released and are still not fully released, but
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: still play them, and those games are still in development
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: to this day. It's just, obviously, smaller dev teams takes
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: longer to get that shit done. And you can't blame
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: them for that, but... But yeah, like anything like AAA games,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: like I always fall into that, especially for game companies
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I like, even though they're like AAA companies. I say AAA.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: There's no such thing as a AAA company anymore. No.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Everybody does the same exact shit. There is no AAA.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: It's all just regular.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: It's either big company or indie. That's it. It's big
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: company or indie.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Putting out a game that isn't fucking full of bugs
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: and is actually as advertised is more rare than AAA
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: games putting out anything actually worth playing.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like just finished. Can anybody put out a finished game? No.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Even good companies have had issues putting out, like Cyberpunk
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: notoriously was not a good company.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Take a look at No Man's Sky No Man's Sky
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: had one of the worst openings for their shit ever
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: and the dude is just going crazy They have updated
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: it so many times, and they haven't charged a dime
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: for them. That's awesome. So, like, now, if you bumped
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: into that game now, it is not the same game
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: you played last year. It's not the same game you
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: played 20 years ago or whatever, however long it's been out.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. That was fun. That was a fun
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: game to play. And it wasn't even crazy when we
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: got into it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: It's kind of funny because it's slowly becoming, like, Star Citizen, but, like,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: for— I don't want to say better because I've never
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: played Star Citizen.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: But the concept is mostly the same, which is you're
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: just a dude that gets– that you're part of this
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: greater storyline or whatever. But for the most part, you
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: go and do your own thing. You can do trades.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: You can go and do piracy. You can go and
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: do exploration, treasure hunting, what have you. Fly around, wand around,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: jetpack around, whatever the fuck.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Land vehicles.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you can do whatever you want.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Aquatic vehicles, shit like that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: In Star Citizen, though, it's a whole lot of that,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: but more realistic shit. But it's also a lot of
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: microtransaction stuff, and that doesn't blow very well over. Whereas
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: in No Man's Sky, you could do all that, But, like,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: they put out the updates for free, including, like, any
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: new ships and stuff like that. The only thing they
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: ever charge is anything cosmetic.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: And that's optional. And that's always optional, yeah.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: And, yeah, but you can still kind of do all
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the exact same shit.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: See, that's awesome. Like, we need more companies like that, man.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: You're not going to get very many companies like that
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: because a lot of them, those companies... I think what
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: happened was, is those companies made mistakes at a time
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: where mistakes were still being punished.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yes.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: In that, in that business, those kinds of mistakes were
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: still being punished and people didn't just let it happen. Um,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: after COVID and things like that, people just kind of
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: accepted that nothing's going to be ever finished quite right
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: or is going to be full of bugs or whatever.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: It became acceptable.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: It became acceptable because there was nothing else to do.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: You know, And this was it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: This is what you had.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: This is what you got.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: And now you have to deal with it. A lot
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: of games that came out during COVID, though, had that issue.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: But few of them actually still turned around and got better.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: But too many of them didn't. Repo, notoriously.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: When it came out, it was kind of bare bones.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Not really impressive in any way. And quite frustrating in
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: many ways. Still kind of is in short and small sports,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: but like in a fun.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Frustrating way. It's frustrating because it's my own fault 99%
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: of the fucking time. That's the thing.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Before it was like, so in that game you have
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: to pick up items, drop them off at a station
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: to turn them in for money. And that's what you
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: got to do. And you got to do that per round.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: The rounds increase how many times you have to do
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: it in a cycle. And obviously there are monsters and
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: shit to kind of make it difficult. The physics in
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: that game basically made it so that way those items
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: that you have to find can break or reduce in
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: value initially or outright break if you hit it hard
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: enough or hit it enough times. This made traversing tight corridors,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: traversing around other players, traversing around anything very difficult because
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: the physics wasn't great. You would clip into things you
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: didn't think of, or you would misjudge how fast or
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: how far you were aiming or moving your mouse, and
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: then suddenly you were just slamming dishes into the ground
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: when you meant to just look down just a little bit,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: so you wouldn't slam it into the ceiling. They've, of course,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: fixed that and updated it and improved it over time,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: and it has gotten to be one of the good...
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: what they call, friend-slop games.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Friend-slop.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Friend-slop games is kind of just a really new way
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: of just saying co-op games.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: No shit.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Today, they'd consider Left 4 Dead friend-slop, I would think.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Because you're playing it with friends.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Friend Slop is any game where you're just doing some
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: menial task or doing some objective.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: That doesn't really matter.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Doesn't really matter, and you're doing it with your friends.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Just doing it. Okay. So it's not like Call of Duty.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: It's like, hey, we're cutting other people down, blah, blah, blah.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, we're just collecting shit just to fuck
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: around with each other. We're all going to die, and
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: we're just going to keep doing it over and over.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: They call it Friend Slop because you play it with
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: your friends.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: It's not really a single-player experience kind of thing. You
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: wouldn't play... necessary like games like love for dead by
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: yourself you can but you wouldn't.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Because right it's it's more of a co-op.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah um but but yeah it it kind of helps
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: start that lethal company started kind of helped start that
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: whole genre or that whole reef uh kindling of that
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: job co-op genre and um a lot of them are
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: still working on it today and But then, of course,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: there's a lot that kind of, like, fall to the wayside,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, that's a shame, because it was
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: fun and interesting, and they just didn't do anything else
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: But I don't even remember what the subject line was
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: to start with.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I love how it started that way. I think it.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Had something to do with building and grounded, too.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we've been having fun. All yous have been building,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and I've been trying not to die. And having battle
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: arenas with the bugs. Yeah. Fuck. What do you want
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to do, man? You want to hit a break up here?
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Probably should hit a break.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: We should probably hit a break. Yeah, when we get back,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: we will talk about some other randomness, I'm sure. But
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: until then, be safe. 500 years later.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: We've gotten to the mailbag. I was waiting for a
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: count-in to it.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: I was like, ding, oh shit, it just happened.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: It threw me off. My brain froze for a second
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: during that.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: I was waiting for you to stop writing your novel.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I had to do the times. I forgot. I forgot.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Anyways. Yeah. This is the mailbag where people send us mail. Yes.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: In a bag. So we're going to start with this
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: first one. Oh, and their comments. Oh, yeah. And their comments.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Which isn't mail. No.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Okay. We can't rename it. It's too funny.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: No, it's too long.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: So we're going to start with comments from Patreons. Which
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: is all we have anyway. This first one comes from
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: show 334. What even is normal? And the comment comes
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: from Bill M. I will... Wait a minute.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I will throw this out there.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: God, I can't read.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: No, you can read. It's just unfortunate.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, correct. I will throw this out there. The grandfather
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: that talks in Mass Effect is Bud Aldrin. What the fuck?
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: I'll throw this out there.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Buzz Aldrin's the voice?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, that makes sense. Wait a minute, wait a.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. I need clarification.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Is he, like, depicted as Buzz Aldrin? Is he the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: character Buzz Aldrin, or is it actually the voice actor,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Buzz Aldrin, doing the voice for that character?
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Holy shit, it's all Buzz Aldrin? God damn it, that's
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: fucking cool!
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: The entire Mass Effect is voiced by Buzz Aldrin.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I need to play Mass Effect. I didn't know he
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: was a fucking voice actor. That's fucking sick. Dude, thanks, Bill.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Acknowledging us. All right. Ready for the next one, Augie?
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I think this is all from the same. It is. Okay.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: These next comments are all from the same episode on
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Patreon as well. I mean, the episode's free, but the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: comments are on Patreon. Wow, this stuff hit me. This
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: comes from show 336. Beefy Eopardy with Midnight Smoke's parents. Yes,

• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough. Okay, because I thought that was last.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I might have done this out of order. First comment
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: comes from my father, John, who was on the episode.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: He said it was a fun time and we both
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it, him being in my mom, which was awesome
• 34:32

• 34:38
  Speaker 1: comment comes from Kristen F. Such a fun episode. Stevie's
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: parents were great. Heck yeah, I concur. And then we
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: had a fucking great time because after that, We took
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the whole show, and we also went to the winery,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Augusta Sun Winery, which is fucking amazing. And we hung
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: out there and goofed around even more, and then we
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: went to dinner. It was just an all-around good night.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: The whole frickin' night was just a blast. All right, Augie,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: you get the long comment here from 8-Bit.

  Speaker 1: Got it from. Okay.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: The episode was wonderful, and they hope they'll be back

• 35:24
  Speaker 2: they'd like to come back, too.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Which, again, as I've stated before, that seems to always
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: be the reaction is nervous energy, not sure if you're
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: going to like it, not sure if you're going to
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: be okay. And then at the end, you're just like, yeah,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: let's do it again. Right.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Like, every time. Love that. He did.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Edit in.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Not just the episode was insanely fun overall. The ending
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: broke him completely. First Stevie's parents learn of the adverb incident.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: From the fucking task.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: The first task.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: The first task. And then the I'll rub it in
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: later joke. He lost it entirely. It was 1230 AM
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: and if he had even a sliver of tiredness it
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: was completely gone.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: That is awesome. Thank you, 8-Bit. Fucking love it, 8-Bit.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Goddamn dude from Germany. I love you, motherfucker. Thank you, guys.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you all for all the comments. This was amazing.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: The only other thing we got from the mailbag is
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: my parents became members of a Patreon. Of course. So
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: now they're going to see all the stupid shit we do.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Finally. His parents finally support him.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: After decades of fucking saying, stop doing stupid shit. They're like,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: you know what?
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Fuck it.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: You went to school.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: You went to military. You became a cook.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: It took the show.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: A podcaster. It took that though for them to finally
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: be proud of him.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Fine. You did it. Fine.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Good job.

  Speaker 1: what that means. That didn't work at all. That didn't work.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: We need to let this thing back up. We're back
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: from our break. I hope you all enjoyed that. It
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: was a lot of fun.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: I hope you enjoyed the silence of not us rambling.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Of not us talking. Was it nice? I mean, it
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: was still us rambling a little, but not too horrible. Augie,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: do you want to start? With the updates on Tara. No.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: We will go to something else.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: No, that's fine. For those who don't know, Tara is
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: my new orange kitten. We adopted him just months or
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: so ago. It's been a bit now. Time flies. He
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: went from being probably as small as, I don't know,
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: my water bottle there. to quite large for a kitten.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: So we're pretty sure he's going to be huge when
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: he's a full-grown adult.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: He's going to be a big cat. His mitts are
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: fucking mitts, dude.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We're like, oh, he's got huge paws. That's adorable.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: He'll grow into them.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: No. He hasn't yet.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: If anything, they've grown alongside him. Yes.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Holy shit. I was like, oh, yeah, eventually his paws
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: will stop. He'll just get bigger. No, his paws have.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Just gotten bigger.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, he grasps.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: His body's gotten bigger, too, but his paws are still
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: outgrowing his body.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: By a lot. It's crazy. And he's so full of energy.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: He loves slapping.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: No claws, just slap. It's so funny and it feels
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: so weird.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: You can grab your face.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: We'll have to.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Put more pictures of Terror up on the Discord server.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Still getting used to the other cats. More like the
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: other cats are still getting used to him.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, for sure.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: They're teaching him temperance.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: That's a good way to put it, yeah.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Tempers. It's better than saying they're beating the living shit
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: out of him every time he gets too close. Again,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: no claws. Everybody's been good about not using their claws.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: So, and they haven't really been, the big cats have
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: been nipping, but not biting.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: If anything, he's been biting, but that's because he's teething.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's probably more of just like he needs
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: something and he's just playing, so it's natural to.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Like Yeah, he doesn't know any better. He'll learn as
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: he goes along.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Right. He's bad at them and hard enough to knock
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: them over, so... he runs away.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: We did a an MRE video recently and he made
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: a debut in it and yeah he's he's a handful
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: now for.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Sure yes the MRE video that we've we've part of
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: the midnight snack with midnight smoke series as a Patreon
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: series I started on the free Patreon is now part
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: of Patreon exclusive under BFYTW and we were doing an
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: MRE cook in the kitchen and And we were standing,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: and then Tara was watching us from the cat tree
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: in the area behind us. And then all of a
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: sudden just lapped onto Augie's shoulder as we're in the
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: middle of the recording. So you could definitely see this
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: cat loves being around Augie, loves Augie, loves being around
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: his face a lot.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, God. Like, it's hard to get him to stop,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: especially when, like, I'm sleeping and stuff like that, because
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not conscious enough to stop him doing it. But
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: he does like to lay as close to your face
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: as possible, which is normal. But he loves to nuzzle
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: and lick my neck. And it drives me insane when
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: you're trying to sleep. He does it especially in the
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: morning because he's trying to wake me up. He's trying
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: to play. He's trying to get me breakfast and stuff
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: like that. And sometimes he does it because he knows
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: I usually get up to the bathroom at a certain time.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: So he'll try to wake me up so I can
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: get up and do it. He likes just sitting in
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: the bathroom just.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Hanging out with me. It's kind of funny.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he's... Again, he's a handful, and he's going
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: to be a lot of fun when he gets older
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: because he's just going to be that but bigger.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: It's just amazing how great it was to like, hey,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: we want to get another cat soon. We're really contemplating
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: getting one, and then Terra shows up.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: I think he made a debut in our episode six
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: of The Clocktower, too.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I think so, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: That hasn't come out yet, I don't think.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Or did it just come out from Patreon?
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Was that the special Patreon one?
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: That might have been the special Patreon one.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: That might have been the... Okay, so, some bonus stuff.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about Clock Tower. Yeah. Let's talk about... Let's
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: do MREs real quick. Oh, no, we already did. We
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: had peppers and sausage. It was really fucking good. Go
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: check out the Patreon. Okay, now.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Learn how to set up an MRE.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Right? This is more fun.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Useful skill.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: That show's fun. It's cool. It's great. Whatever. Clock Tower's...
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: becoming my more fun thing to do now. Like, I
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: love this. I love doing our shit here, but Clocktower,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: when Aaron runs this game, it's phenomenal. If you're a
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: regular listener, you'll know that we have four episodes of
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Blood in the Clocktower we use for our episodes so far.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: And if you're a Patreon member, you've probably played it
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: with us.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, and you've got to definitely see the videos of
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: this stuff, which is great. There's video versions of that,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: but Aaron created a patreon exclusive blood in the clock
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: tower uh series um not just because it's great and
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: whatever it's because everybody's enjoying it no matter if you're
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: on the winning team or losing team at the end
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: if you're there for just one round or ten like
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: you having so much fun wow that rhymed a little
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: like his intro oh fuck no um and aaron does
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: a fucking rhyme at the beginning of each and i
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: think at the end of each I don't know if
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: he does.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: It at the end.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: But he definitely does it at the beginning, and it's
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: freaking fantastic. But the game is fun. I can't remember
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: how we got on the clock tower, but let's keep talking.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Eric. Okay.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so those who don't know, Blood on the Clock
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Tower is like a social deduction game where you have
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: villain and minions attempting to end the lives of the
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: other townsfolk in order to achieve victory, while the townsfolk
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: have to hang or kill the demon and minions, or
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: mainly just the demon, to survive and win. There are
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: multiple different roles that fulfill different functions and can add
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of chaos to the situation, as some can
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: also appear as something else or cause misinformation. There is
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: tiers of difficulty, which also add different roles. The previous
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: one we played before, I don't remember the name of,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: was fairly simple, but I think had like a dozen plus.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Or so roles. Yeah, it was like 15 roles, I think,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: at the max.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: The recent one we've played was like the mid-tier, middle
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: difficulty one. Where we have like actual roles that give out,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: purposely give out misinformation, that change information as time goes on,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: that blocks information. Or straight up just like roles that
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: do weird and wacky things or you're forced into doing
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: weird and wacky things.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Right. And everybody's given an assignment randomly by the storyteller.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: So you don't get to choose who you are.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: You get assigned a role and that role has an ability.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: And that ability is what you need to use to
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: deduce friend or foe. But you have to be careful
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: because if you openly discuss who you are, that gives
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: the bad team reason to find out or judge who
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: needs to go first kind of thing. So you have
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: to kind of... deduce who's your friends and basically share
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: information to try to deduce who's the other team. This
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: can lead to subterfuge. This can lead to some pretty.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Interesting one-sided stuff.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: I highly encourage checking out some videos of it.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: You can check out.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Our stuff too. Honestly, I'm usually like, oh yeah, we're
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: not a good example for doing anything. the games have
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: been playing out much like how you would expect. And
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I feel almost in a more entertaining fashion, too, because
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: it's not as... It has been cases where people have
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: not got... I don't want to say heated, but it
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: has gotten stressful. Just because it is kind of like
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: you're trying to... Get information from people. You're trying to
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: get information while also not trying to spill too much yourself.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: And you're purposely doing it. And if you're not used
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: to doing that, it can be pretty awkward and kind
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: of hard to achieve anything. Um, thankfully people have seemed
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: to get more and more comfortable. We just have to
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: kind of figure out the whole communication thing because a
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: lot of times communication is when it falls apart, it
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: falls hard.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Um, and that's just the only thing that needs to
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: be worked on now, I would say. But, uh, I
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: would say we, uh, the previous games we've done are
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: pretty good examples of an average game, um, on a
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: more lighter note. Uh, But the recent one that we've
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: done that I'm not going to talk about because, of course,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: it is a Patreon exclusive.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: The one previous to that wasn't, right? The quick one?
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: No, the quick one wasn't. You can check that on
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: YouTube now.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Is it even on YouTube?
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: The audio version is.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what I did. It's somewhere. It's
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: probably on Patreon for free, though. Probably. I think that's
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: what we did. I mean.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: I'll have to check.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: No, it's on YouTube. Never mind. It's on YouTube. Thanks.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: So.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: Anyways, but yeah, I won't talk about the one we've
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: previously done, because one, it's Patreon exclusive, and two, it
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: is probably a really good case of, like, what misinformation
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: can do to dismantle everything.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: And but yeah, it's a great it's a great fun game.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: I enjoy the shit out of it for some reason.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: I'd be not a very social person. I don't know
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: if podcasting brought it out of me or my previous
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: experiences with similar games kind of already prepared me for
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: what I need to do and what I need to
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: achieve and all that. But I've been enjoying the shit
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: out of it. And it's also been incredibly funny watching
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: people's reactions to my ability to both lie and tell
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: the truth. And yet nobody knows what's true or not
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: when it comes out of my mouth.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Augie's win streak. I don't have a win streak. Your
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: KD is insane.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: My KD is not insane.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: I'd say so.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: If you're talking my KD as like a demon, sure.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I'm saying your games overall.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Because that's the nature of it.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Your plus minus. How about that? Games you've won versus
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: games you've lost.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: My plus minus is even.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Is it? My plus minus is even.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I've won as much as I've lost. I'm
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: pretty sure.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Wow. I could have swore you won like a ton
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: of them. It seems like you have.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: One person can make a difference, but not all the time.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: No, but I. I just thought you were on the
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: winning team more. Just because I know you're really good
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: at the information and figuring stuff out.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: That's because every time you've won, I've been on your team.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Is that why?
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Except for like one instance.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's the one thing.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the one before it.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was funny.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: But that's pretty much that.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: But Clock Tower is great. It's a fun game. It's
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: something you can kind of play along with, too, at home,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: like during. You can get your notepad out. You can
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: look up what the roles of everybody is online. So
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: what Aaron.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Does is that he follows a random person. He chooses
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: one at random. It doesn't matter who. It could even
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: be us if we're playing. One at random that he'll
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: just follow them around as the game is played. So
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: you don't get all.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: The information from everybody.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: So you don't know who is whom. Well, you kind
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: of do know whom is whom at the beginning because
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: he kind of reveals it as he's introducing everybody.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, he does. Yeah.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: So you know whom is whom. And you just get
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: an idea of like one side perspective of like, okay,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: you know who is who. How did they not? figure
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: this out yeah but and then every night he does
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: have to go and uh go through everybody's roles and
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: what and what they can do and stuff like that
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: so you do ultimately do figure out who is whom
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: uh but you could just skip over those nights if
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: you don't want to be uh spoiled kind of thing
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: and if you want to try to figure out on
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: your own that's so.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Awesome I'd love that game. Yeah. And I guess, I
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if I just, I'm not
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: even gonna say anything yet. I'll let Aaron say more
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: stuff about that. Cause that's his baby right now.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, that's pretty much it too. It's like,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: we don't want to talk too much about it because
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: that one without him here, uh, it does seem kind
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: of weird. Cause he is the host. And yes, there
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: are others interesting that do interested in doing so. We
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: don't need to talk about that here though.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: No.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Um, Like, we'll talk about it when it happens.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: That's going to be great. Yeah, so we'll stop talking
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: about Clocktower now, but go ahead, check it all out
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: on YouTube, Patreon. You have it, obviously, already set up.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: I'll talk about my tire debacle real quick.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Briefly.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Real quick.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's ongoing, technically.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: You know what? I'll wait. I got a slashed tire.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: It wasn't, like, malicious. It was accidental.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: As far as we know.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: As far as... Oh, my God, I swear to God.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, if it was an accident, like... If it
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: was what we think it is, it was by accident.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: If it's the other thing and it is delicious, I'd
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: laugh because my mom's like, why is that on your car?
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, because it's funny as fuck. So, I don't
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: give a fuck. It's offender now. No, it's not. No,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: it's not. That one's still on there. I took one
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: of the things off my car that says, ah, fuck it.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: One says, ice can gargle my balls into the back
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: of my back windshield. And then the one on the
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: other side says, I'm here to fuck someone's wife.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's the one he probably took off.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, I took that off. School's about to start. School's
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: about to start. I can't have that in my pocket.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: The oldest one, I might be able to get away with.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Until I get told.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, someone will tell you.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I park my car somewhere special.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: Not because of the other, it's probably because of the
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: balls part.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. This is funny. I like this shit. But, yeah,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: so the tire had a very big inch and a
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: half gash through the sidewall on part of the tread,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: so I had to get it replaced. Finally got it done,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: which is great, because now the car drives so much better.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: But now, because I can, everything sounds great when it's driving.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: I heard this fucking rattling noise, and it was driving
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: me fucking apeshit. I'm like, what the fuck is that
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: goddamn sound? So I got home at one point, and,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I parked, and I hobbled underneath the fucking car.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm looking, I'm like, the fuck, I'm, like, smacking
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: some shit. I'm like, the fucking heat shield that covers
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: the fucking muffler and shit for the exhaust that's, like,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: right underneath the fucking gas tank. All four bolts are
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: rusted through so the heat shield's just, like, flopping on
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: top of the fucking shit. I mean, it's not going
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: to go anywhere because it's, like, molded to it. It can't, like,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: come out. It would have done it by now. But
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: apparently this is so fucking common that everybody on YouTube
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: is like, yeah, you can go buy another set of
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: bolts and another one of these things. You can get
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: them from the Honda parts store for like 30 bucks.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: And the bolts are like a buck 50 a piece
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: or whatever you need for them. But is this going
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: to fucking do it again? And I'm like, that is
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: such fucking shit. And this is what we do. Get
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: metal strapping that has the holes in it. If the
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: bolts need to get replacing, just take the bolts out,
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: put it in, put a new bolt in with the strapping.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: The strapping would be like two inches long. It's not
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: going to rip a two inch long hole in the
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: fucking thing. I'm like, I'm about to go buy five
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: dollars worth of fucking hardware and fix this shit. I mean,
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: why not? Yeah. So I was like, all right, that's cool.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: And I confirmed it with our buddy, Magnus Cockthunder, last night.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want to pay somebody like 200
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: bucks to do this shit. It's going to cost me
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: like 10 bucks. is it possible for me to get
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: my low-profile jack on just the side of my car,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: jack it up, and put two three-ton jack stands underneath
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: it on the side, so the other side's, like, just
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: on the ground, so, I mean, I'll chalk it and shit,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: so I can get to that, he's like, yeah, I'm like,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: all right, like, I should be fine, right, nothing's gonna
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: fall on me, he's like, no, you're gonna have your
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: parking brake on, too, right, I'm like, yeah, he's like, no,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: you'll be fine, I'm like, okay, just making sure, I've
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: never done just jack up one whole side of a
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: car before, because it's not really good for your suspension,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: but I'm like, I shouldn't be under there long. I'm like, ooh,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: now I'm starting to wonder, man, should I do this? Fuck,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't do this. But yeah, that's the car thing.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't. Probably going to do
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: it tomorrow.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Other than that, I only have two other quick things
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: to talk about. I got to hang out with Jabbo again.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: I haven't hung out with him a bit. I mean,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: it's been chaotic there, here, school and everything and shit,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: all the podcasts. So it was nice. Hung out with
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: him once for like an hour and a half and shit.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: That was fucking just chill as fuck. And then we
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: did like another two hours of just us just hanging,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: recording and shit. Dude, it was fucking just, we just went.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: And it was nuts. It was so crazy. It went everywhere.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: It was such a good show. So in theory, I
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: know we teased this like almost nine months ago or
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: some shit. The Mashed Potatoes fucking podcast. It will more
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: than likely release under the proper Rumpus banner and stuff.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: It will not be an Oddpods Media show. It will
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: not be a BFYTW show. It's just going to be
• 55:59
