• 5:09
  Speaker 2: most recent or newest online obsession?
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Online obsession? Yes, here's the funny thing. I've been offline
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: for the past three days. Have you turned my confuter
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: on until like this afternoon? So I've been like just
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: busy planning ship, so I haven't really.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Still, what's the most recent thing online that you can
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: think of that you have become obsessed with?
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: I will streaming counts, So I'm going to go with
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: the streaming service Oka say one because they don't fucking
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: pay me. But the show that it's on is Peacemaker
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: season two. I'm able to watch season two. There you
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: go and you now were like, oh, after we have dinner,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: we hang out for but now we go, Sarah, let's
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: watch an episode. One episode becomes three really quick, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: the next day it's like always going to watch one
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: before bed, and that one or some ship. Dude, it
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: was insane. Run like episode eight after two days.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I know exactly how it comes.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: It's so good and say goofy like comic shit and
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: then a fun of everybody. It's wonderful. So I like it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I like it a lot. So that's it.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough enough. And his opponent he's a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: gamer and a storyteller, and he used to be my
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: youngest friend. Now he's just aggy. He's a hey, yeah,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: what's up?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Ule's going on?
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Same question, what is your newest or most recent online obsession?
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: God, Like, you always kind of get dragged. You always
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: try to stay away from like social media stuff, so
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: you get like get away from that stuff, but then
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: you get sucked in somewhere else. So like I've been
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: for some reason watching just like a lot of videos
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: of people freaking out about Valve's new Steam Box.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Oh wow, because they're like the steam Cube game Cube,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: but it's it would have to be that game cube,
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Gabe Cube of the game cube.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: How amazing.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: And then like now people are obsessing over like a
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: possibility of half lay three again even.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Though there's like no evidence of that.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Of course not, of course not they're going.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: But but yeah, it's looking kind of cool. So I've
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: just kind of been keeping a praise to that just
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: because it's something different. It's also really cool to see
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: like like learning how Valve is, like you can't go
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: we learned today like Valve doesn't have like stock at all,
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: you don't you can't go and invest in Valve.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: They are a private company.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, they're still privately.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, privately, And it's just yeah, it's it's really cool
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: how they take like the stance like people flipping out
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: about the whole AI tags not wanting AI tags and
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: ship even though it's like that's the whole point of
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: tags is.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: To tell you exactly what's in the buying.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It's I mean, like I understand having a negative response
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: to the AI tags themselves, right, but not their existence, right,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Like their existence is kind of important. You can pooh
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: poo any game with AI tags on it that you want.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: It'd be like saying oh, or like f p s
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: is are very common, so you don't even have to
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: have the FPS tag on any game, Like, well, then
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: how do you know?
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, everything should be tagged appropriately.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think part of the part of the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: backlash against is from people who are pro AI, who
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: are like, oh, they're gonna shoot on this game immediately
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: because of AI because of A. Well that's not because
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: of the tag, that's because of the AI you dipped. You.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: If you're allowed to avoid a gang with the tag
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: l g B t Q on it, then we're allowed
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: to avoid a gang with AI.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Tag, and you're you're pretty much dead on that. The
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: people who would avoid that are the people who are
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: pro Naturally anyway, I'm your host pants Sarah and Augie
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: hit it some stars for and my quote unquote my
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: recent online obsession. I have been I finally, finally, after
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: twenty goddamn years, been sucked into smash. Smash. So, for
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: those who don't know, Smash was one of the very
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: first YouTube hits. In fact, they are still and will
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: always be the first YouTube channel to reach a thousands
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of describers wow, and they currently have twenty seven million.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: They've literally been going for twenty years. But when they
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: first started, I would not have paid a lick of
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: attention to these guys because they're First of all, it
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: was two white guys. It was white guy humor all
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the way. It was mostly cringe if I'm being honest really,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: and I would not have been into it. However, they
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: have slowly been getting more and more like progressive over
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the years, so a lot less gratuitous women in bikinis,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: a lot a lot less you know, gross humor, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: a lot more just like improv fun. Like their games
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: channels is them playing all kinds of games. They have
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: a channel called the Pit, which is you know, like
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: like little social challenges and other just bizarre things. They've
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: recently made it big with by just reading out Reddit
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: stories with the two people on a couch reacting to them,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and a lot of those have gone viral. But I
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: have to be honest, the reason I got sucked in
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the first place was because of Angela Giritana and she
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: is legitimately my fourth celebrity crush.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Oh really yeah.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: She is so just naturally funny, like one of the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: most naturally funny people I think I've ever seen in
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: my life. And she makes me laugh so goddamn heart.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: She is so like comedically brilliant, but also just by
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: nature of who she is. A lot of times she
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: says things wrong, oh, which causes everyone to just break
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: out in laughter, and you know it's it's not like
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: it's incorrect, but it's not exactly what she meant to say.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And it's so there's a lot of just naturally funny
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: moments with her, Yes, And I can't point to like
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: a thing she's been in other and Smash. I know
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: that she's been on Dropout a couple of times. She's
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: done to make some noise, and she's been on Game
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Changer at least once. And I know she also did
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: an episode of Astronauts, and it's she's been funny and
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: all of those. But the weird thing that Dropout does
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: is they put so much makeup on her really like
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: it's it's weird. Like I noticed it because I would
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: watch a Smash video and then I'd watch a Dropout
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: video and in make Some Noise, she is wearing like
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: too much makeup, And I don't know if that's like
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: a deliberate choice of hers, because the makeup artists at
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Dropout are not would not unnecessarily like but on too much. So,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: But at the same time I could see her being
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: that'll be funny if I'm just wearing a shitload of makeup,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: do it? You know. But it threw me because on
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Smash she doesn't wear it's on nobody does really not.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: On Smash they're much more laid back, but they're also very,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: very funny. Everybody on Smash is absolutely hysterical. There is
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Each cast member has done something that has just had
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: me cackle alone in my bedroom. Yeah, like, you know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: just just howling out loud with laughter.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Those are the good ones, man, When there's nobody around
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: you still like break out that loud. Yeah hell yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: So.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: But they got a decent back catalog that I get into.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: But I'm not going to go too far back anyway.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Let's get some games.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Game one is going to be like share block our
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: old favorite news story. I've got three news stories here.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: All our players have to do is tell me which
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: one I would like, which one I would share, and
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: which one I would block on social media. There is
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: only one correct combination, and whoever gets it right or
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: it comes closest, will win the game and earn one
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: episode point. Our first story, Chinese robot sets Guinness World
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: record for walking one hundred kilometers in three days.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I mean that's far. Don't get me wrong.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: I couldn't do that now, There's no fucking way one
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: hundred kilometers, I mean three days, that's insanity.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: In science fiction, robots can be scary. They can literally
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: chase you down, run forever. They don't get However, thankfully, thankfully,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: up until this point, real robots are much clumsier and
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: clunkier things. Some of them can manipulate objects with incredible accuracy,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: but they're still a far cry from terminators.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Goodness.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: However, they do seem to be slowly getting there. Yeah, yeah,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: So the the Agibot I assume Aggy for agility, Agibot
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: A two completed a more than sixty mile hike across
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: the Jiangsu province. Now it wasn't a sprint. The robot
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: took three days to complete the march, but them bot
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: did it independently without human assistance. The only human assistance
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: required was the battery system required swapping the batteries.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Out, so they can't run on their own.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Ha ha, Well, they can run for quite some time
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: without shutting off, and they didn't take any steps with
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: human assistance, so they did the walk entirely on their own.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: That's scary. It cool but scary, but at least we
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: know the batteries still their weakness.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: And the robots still performed better than a lot of
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: people probably would, walking sixty miles in three days.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: No scavengers trying to like wait.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I think I'd just be collapsed.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I'd be eating something I shouldn't, like some track.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: It is pretty much human size, standing at five feet
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: six is tall and weighing about one hundred and fifty
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: two pounds.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: It's my size. What the fuck? They're cloning the air
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: and I knew it starting with the skeleton part, and.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: The company that founded it has sold more than a
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: thousand of the machines.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Craw much. They all want one, do you though, Well, yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: then I don't have to go to school, do you.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: I'll put my face on it, like not my real face,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: not like face off. Like silicon and I'll print out
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: like a mask of my face. I'll take a picture
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: like this.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: That always works.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Like we'll flip some burger show almost secret play video games.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: And that's how the robots took us over.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: Because I mean, it's cool, book, it's cool a robot
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: like walk sixty miles. Yeah, but I've also seen a
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: robot walk like six feet and then face plant into
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: the cement.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: I mean that's yeah, good point, good point. The technology
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: is not consistent.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: It's not consistent, so not yet, No, thank goodness, dread
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: tread seems to still be the thing. Yeah, it's just
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: for traversal. Get stuck on.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, the gyroscopes are doing well, but not.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: The problem you see. The thing is.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: Is the sensors, right is because as humans, we kind
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: of have like this other sense where we can kind
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: of be aware of where our limbs are at any
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: given time without looking at them.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Like think about it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: You know where you're if you lay on your back
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: and put a blanket over your body and you just
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: have just laying back, move your limbs around, you know
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: exactly where you limbs are without physically seeing them. Not
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: everything can do that. Robots need a sensor to know
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: where their limbs are. Otherwise they're constantly bumping into shit
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: or tripping over themselves.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, technically, don't so do we aren't they called
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: nerves instead of sensors.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Not so much nerves. The thing, there's a weird there's
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: a weird study out there.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: We'll have to look it up, but there's a weird
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: study out there where we might have more than.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: The I'm like, the only way to test it would
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: be if like you were paralyzed and literally didn't have
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: access to those nerves. But then what is the point
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: of being aware of your body if you can't move
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: it all anyway?
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: But phantom limb thing you still feel.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: I would encourage anyone to look it up because it's
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: really interesting because there's a study that we have more
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: than five senses. We have like close to seven and yeah,
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: and one of which is the ability to know where
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: our limbs are without physically sense of presence.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: That's like a weird sense of presence of science?
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: All right, science.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Science, Speaking of science, The next story, AI Teddy Bear
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: inexplicably pulled from market after giving kids b DSM advice
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: that science and talking about where to find the knives.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Where was this when my body was around back in
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: the fucking eighties? And ship when Jockey came out, you
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: got my buddy doll like perfect, Like that would have
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: been amazing.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: This is Teddy Ruxman, your one weird uncle edition.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: It is. He was already weird when the batteries got low.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: But holy fuck, dude, I even think about Teddy Rouxman.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Hey, kids, you want to know where to find knives?
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you remember Teddy Trucksman?
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, I could remember where it was.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: It was early on, but like I remember the commercials.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is called this is called and I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: not making this up the comma Teddy Bear. Now, I'm sorry,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the comma Teddy Bear.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: And how would you spell that? Sir?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: K U m m Are they shows for kids? Coma
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: come Come, Come, come, something about a chameleon.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: It might it might actually be pronounced kuma because in
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Japanese Kuma means bear. Oh that would, but it has
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: two ms instead of one, so that's why I'm pronouncing
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: it coma. That makes it worse. Even this Teddy Bear
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: is equipped with an AI powered computer system and a
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: speaker so that they can hold conversations with kids.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: However, research found that those conversations can easily go past
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: PG thirteen. A group studying toy safety found that Comma
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: would not steer the conversation away if it was given
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: a slightly naughty prompt. In fact, it would really get
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: into it, really escalating the conversation with even more graphic details.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: If asked, it might tell you how to light a match,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: or where knives are usually kept an ouse.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, yes man, how do we get one
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: of these fuckers? And how much is it?
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately?
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Tell me?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Ununfortunately. Following the report, the manufacturer pulled the Teddy Bear
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: from the market. We are not adding a fourth member
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: to b F y tw only for it to be
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: a Teddy Bear with an AI computer.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Under no circle fucking amazing, no Patreon. What do you
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: guys think? Would you like a Teddy.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Bear in the corner talking I stay AI for you
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: as long as possible.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, forget that ship. Absolutely.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to talk about and surveillance intrusive enough
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: for you, Like, why do you want another thing?
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: I don't want that. I just wanted to talk about
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: BDS them in the background. It doesn't have to be
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: a I.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: The FBI that has listen to the ship on a
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: daily base already fucking thinking.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: About ending at all artificial intelligence, Like.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Use your distant nine mil pop off from a white van.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: We're going to have like a little toaster situation.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: You've drone them all to suicide.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing is this, You could have got one
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: because it was affordable. When it was still available, it
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: sold for ninety nine dollars.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: It's not bad. How much does it do for now?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Probably a lot more because it's off the market black market.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: The sales pitch, the product description says, come are adorable.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Bear combined combines advanced artificial intelligence with friendly interactive features,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: making it the perfect trend for both kids and adults.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: You know, scary, that's the problem adults, And it's a
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: durable and companion. I'm sorting one. There was other intentions
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: with this bear. Others.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: They were thinking to themselves, all, this thing is gonna
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: be because it's AI, it can be with this person
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: like the majority of their life, which I get, which
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: is probably why they're like, oh yeah, adults, which is
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: probably why it has no issue getting into the sexual
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: part of.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: It, because you grow up. Yeah, because once you hit puberty,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: there that's gonna happen.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Like, why is it when you touch me? I get
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: funny feelings? What what.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: Being like?
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: When you grow up you kind of appreciate it.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just hang in here a closet util you're ready,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: there's a bike pump.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: It'll talk to you.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Oh God, that'd be weird. Now I'm good man. I
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: don't not need to be doing a robot. I want
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: to become a robot, just like the body part.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, if you want to make that happen,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: might we might be on the way. Let's move Let's
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: move on to story number three. Researchers create computer chips
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: powered by chatake mushrooms.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: What the fuck?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: A research team from Ohio State University has demonstrated that
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: chautake mushrooms could work as part of computer memory components. There,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: my celium convey electric signals just like conventional electronics, so
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: in a way this discovery makes sense. In a way.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: The OSU team successfully use chatake mushrooms for data memory storage,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: although they don't yet hold a candle to actual PC chips.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: The test show that there is potential in the fungus
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: they've already tried to teach mushrooms to walk around in
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: robot bodies and this it kind of worked, kind of kind.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Of makes sense to me because what was that? What's
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: the mushroom my my co my corial, my.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: Corels my corsereal, Like, there's a it's a network where
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: mushrooms are literally connected and connect to all the roots.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: In the forest.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's microsorial or whatever their commutal and they and they.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Literally like regulate the environment around them.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: It's like the World Wide Web, but with a slightly
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: different name.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they create their own like and it transmits, it
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: transmits messages from one tree to another, like straight across woods.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Like it's it's crazy, Like mushrooms are insane.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they can also do a lot. Yeah they can.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Oh it's insane. Yeah.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: So fungi are good candidates for building bioelectronics, as they're
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: my celium conduct electricity, much like current semiconductors. And they
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: used it to create what's called a memorist, which is
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: a type of computer component that processes data and can
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: remember past electrical states. For instance, the RAM and the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: device you're using right now is a memorist. It makes
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: sense so that's what the mushrooms can do. Yeah, imagine
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: can you imagine having mushroom ram in the future.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, biotechnology is a thing. Yeah, neither way to
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's not kind of cool.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: It'd be weird at first, but then what isn't weird
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: at first?
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: Differently anyway, but at least this thing is actually living
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: and not just something we created.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, and providing a function, an actual, real function that
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: actually helps.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: We're mashing mashing organics with freaking cyber.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Provides a function, not just a replacement.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: So anyway, that's all three of our news stories. We
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: have the robot setting the Guinness record for walking one
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: hundred kilometers in three days. You have the AI teddy
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Bear pulled from the market after giving kids BDS advice
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and talking about knives. And finally, researchers have created computer
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: chips powered by chaitake mushrooms. I cannot remember which one
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: of you won. Well, the last game we played was
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: bf epardy either of you played. You both you both
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: helped a lot. Yeah, I think there was only one
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: question that they asked help for. You guys couldn't help
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: just one, but everything else you nailed two.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: So so.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: You go first, let's see here, Well, you just kind
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: of pick somebody. Yeah, so I'm thinking you.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Like the idea of having a little buddy help you
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: out with your like bds app shit or anything.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Else, and it's kind of funny just to have like, yeah,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: like a chucky.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Doll get that nye Right, that's what I say.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: I think you'd share the mushroom story because yeah, that
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: is kind of like, that is bioengineering. That is something
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: that might be a thing in the future if like
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: something else fails, can it Can that shit be EMP?
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: I don't think that can be EMP. So that might
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: be a good alternative if you think about it. And
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: then you'd probably block the robot thing because it's just
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: a robot walking.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: And who likes walking?
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: A good point.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: So the robots are taking our jobs and a recreation
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: what the fuck?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, So, just to be clear, you like the Teddy Bear,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: you share the mushrooms, and you block the robot. Yes, okay, Stevie,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: you may keep one of those, but you have to
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: swap the other two or you can go entirely your
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: own way.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: I don't want all these answers at all, Okay, which
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: way you're going fine, sharing the robot okay, then blocking
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: the AI bear and liking the shrooms.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, no explanation, that's just what he's picked needed. No
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: explanation you needed. That's just where he's going.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: That's the answers that were there when I looked down
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: at the pad.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: So interestingly, you each have one right. Neither of you
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: is completely right. My correct choices were I blocked the
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: robots setting the Guinness record, so I'll use right about
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: the block. I shared the AI teddy Bear because that's
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: fucking hysterical, not to mention it also paint in a
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: bad light, which I always enjoyed doing. And finally, I
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: liked the computer chips created by staking because the share
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: was instinctive. I just that's so funny to me. But
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: but I blocked the robot because that is honestly more
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: terrifying than the Shatakie. So Steve got my like right,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: but Augie got my block right, And in the case
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: of a tie, it goes share like block, and so
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: that means Stevie got my like, which means he wins.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, I wanted, You've won the game.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: You get one episode. Want got my block? But that's
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the one I like the least. Basically, so that is
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: not that is the lowest one, but share is the
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: best because that's the one I usually like the most
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: in any event. Uh, that's game one. Augie can easily
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: come back. We're gonna play game two. Game two is
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: worth two episode points and we're gonna play it right
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: after this.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: Hey you there, We've got a question for you. Are
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: you tired of clickbaits, tories and the loudest voices driving
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: discussions and culture and entertainment.
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: If so, I'm Dylan, I'm Kendall, and I'm Corey, and
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: we host the podcast from the Middle. We're middle class
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: guys living in the middle of America, in the middle chapters.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Of our lives with points of view Somewhere in the middle.
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: We take a more reasonable and centrist approach in our discussions,
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: covering genres like comedy, culture, entertainment, and interviews with really
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: interesting folks like business owners, comic creators, doctors, news anchors,
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: New York Times bestselling illustrators, professional stand up comics.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: And more.
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: We really value a relaxed and conversational podcast, one that
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: we hope is so fun and laid back you'll forget
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: you're not actually hanging out with us.
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: So search at from the midpod just like it sounds,
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: or check us out everywhere you can find podcasts.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Hey man, welcome back. It's time for game two. Game
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: two is going to be pop culture fight Club thought. Yes,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: special thanks to Colin Mags for coming up with this
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: concept and and letting us run with it. And we
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: have run with it, especially lately. It's nice it it's
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: had a resurgence. Let's say this is a game of
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: answering a tough question and then defending your position. I'm
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: going to ask each player for the best something or
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: their favorite something from the world of pop culture, and
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: we'll have to explain and defend themselves as best they can.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: The best answer and defense, as judged by me, will
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: get two episode points this week. I don't know if
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: you can tell by our news stories, but I've been
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: real inspired by technology. There's lots of cool real world
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: technological innovations that are exciting, and none of them use
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: generative AI. But I'm more curious about the world of
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: the imagination. What technology from the world of video games
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: do you most wish we had in real life? And
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: to clarify for anyone who might be listening, because you
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: have the same question me. I am referring specifically to
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: the imaginary technology in the plot and the worlds of
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: these games, not specific game mechanics.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, to make sure.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: So if somebody said quick time events, I would slap
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: them anyway.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Okay, so stop right there.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I have to rewrite my entire pitch ship no joke.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: The funny thing that's gonna be my joke answer though,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: because once we clarify, We're like, okay, that's definitely does.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Because I'm like, oh yeah, quick say quick load like
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: who wouldn't.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: We know what aaron?
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, it's gonna be quick.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: That great, that's funny. That's so funny.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, but no, we got it, we got
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: legit stuff.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: You lost the last game, so you have the choice
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: do you want to go first or do you want
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: to make Stevie? All right, for that case, go ahead
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: and tell me what is your favorite tech thing from
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: a video game and is it the best?
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: So my favorite thing, my favorite tech thing from any
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: video game, and it always has a different name, but
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: it always functions pretty much the same.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Some people call it the farm Totem. Others call it
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: the Heartstone. Aaron might know it better as the town portal.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, a device of some kind that can be
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: used to teleport you immediately back to your home or
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: a checkpoint or a safe point or a town a
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: specific time that you.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Set it to or whatever like that. Basically a telbotation
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: device that allows you to return home. It's probably one
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: of my favorite things in any game. It saves so
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: much time.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: It also provides you kind of like the freedom to
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: explore because you know you're never going to get truly lost,
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: because no matter how where you go, you can always
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: get home, like in an instant compared to wherever you go.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: You can avoid danger with it. If you're in a
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: dangerous area and you need to get the fuck out. Yeah,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Hasten's return trips.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: You go somewhere far away, like say on a vacation
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: or something, or just another continent, you could always get
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: right back home instantaneously.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: It would be nice, no no traffic, and sh rush.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: It's usually a device is and again it varies depending
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: from video game you get it from. Like the Hearthstone,
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: it's literally like a carved runic stone that you have
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: in your backpack or you're on your person somewhere.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: You literally grab it, you hold on to it.
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: I don't even know where it's like, it's always different
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: because in in whirl Craft, like, they always do different
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: animations for it, so it's never clear for you are
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: are you whispering into it?
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Are you beating it with our hammer?
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: Like?
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: It depends on the character you play.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's never really clear on that one. But like
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: at the town poral, it's usually like a poral you
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: open it up. Sometimes it's a one time use thing
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: and you have to go get replacements, yeah, or a
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: totb yeah or something like that that is multiple. And
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: then like the farm totem from like Stardo, same idea.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: It was literally a totem that teleports you to a
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: larger totem that is on your farm, so no matter
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: where you are on the map, you can always instantly
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: get back to your place.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Would raise emergency device, Yeah, something's happening.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: It's agency device.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: I can get home if I just grab this one,
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: because this one's from my parents.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: A temporal eject button.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Yes exactly, that's tight.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: All right, well fair, I like it. What do you
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: say to people who would suggest that teleportation actually kills
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: you mm and then resurrects another person with your DNA
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: and your memories, but the original person no longer exists.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: This is a real question that has been bopped back
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: and forth, specifically specifically in Star Trek, but I feel
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: it applies to teleportation as well.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Other person because if it does, that's what it does.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: If it's not just up breakdown of like molecules and
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: then reconfiguring them back up to another spot. If it
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: is straight up a it kills you and then just
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: fucking redne like you keep all you retain, all your
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: memories and ship.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Though right like all your experiences, all.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Your experiences, all your memories or critics say that's.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: No longer you like, that's another version of you.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: Why are your atoms destroyed or they all attacked when
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: they transfer?
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: I mean again referring just to Star Trek and nothing else.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: The way it works is the molecules that are made
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: up on the planet's surface or wherever you're going don't
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: come from the ship themselves. The ship sends the energy down,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: which then reconstitutes you from nearby molecules or I assume
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: air reconstitutes mare.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: No, if you're If you're broken down to your atoms
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: and those atoms are reconstructed back in the correct order,
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: that's still you. If the atoms are destroyed and they
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: are grabbing other particles from other ship to create you, yeah,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: you're something else, which is the memories like a robot.
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: The question, the real question is is how does it
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: know to like the specific memories?
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: Like, I know you don't remember everything, but brain can
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: remember some ship that you would never think about.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: But all that can be saved in light. We've already
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: proven you can store stuff in light crystals and whatnot.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: It is, it is quite interesting, and it is.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: It is tough.
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: But I would argue that you are shedding so much
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: skin on a daily basis that your entire outer part
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: of your body is not the same.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Like, as you age, you are a different person. Cells
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: die and then are and then are.
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: Like reformed and grow and stuff like that. So you
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: naturally do become a different person you age. So to
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: get teleported in the DIDA and then come back is
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: really not that much different.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Damn nice. I like, yeah, it is fun, all right, Stevie.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: It is your turn. What would you pitch to me
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: outside of quick time events. You son of a bitch.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: It's so fun. Yeah, that's great. Well, it's the other
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: thing we mentioned earlier. I said this before the show too. No,
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: he's brought it up a couple of times. But I'm
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: gonna specialize it more, be more specific in it than
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: just the one thing. So I'm gonna say in a
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: way character customization. A'llah, like Saints Row or even Cyberpunk,
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: you have the ability to change not just your appearance
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: and what items you want, but your actual statistics. You
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: can change your skills. Like, that's what I want to
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: bring this world, Like, you know what, for dumb fucking reason,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: I feel like running a fucking mile or one hundred
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: miles because I want to beat that fucking robot stupid record.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna put all my shit in the endurance and
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: fucking strength and speed or some shit like to be
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: able to like reroll your stats, like you can go
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: and like, no, I'm gonna chance this for today, or
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: I gotta pass this stupid test. Yeah, i'd use it
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: for fucking Malicia shit like cheating. I don't give a
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: fuck I cheated a test. I don't care. I'm not
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: gonna math no more, but like to be able to
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: actually go in I'm like, I want to be able
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: I can change my entire style just by going into
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: like this little thing in my room, like dude, dupe,
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: Oh no, now I got a hair. How fucking awesome
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: would that be? Like you could change anything about yourself
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: in any those type of formats. Then, like, if you
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: do want to go like the cyberpunk way of customization, yeah,
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: you have the ability to add tech to yourself you want.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: We don't just have to have those fucking calculator watches. Man,
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: your arm could be a calculator watch, like it could
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: be anything.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: So you're just referring to augmentation as a whole. Yeah,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: and not just genetic, but also.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, why not just like you can customize yourself, you
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: have the ability to change how you want to be,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: how you really are truly on the inside if you want,
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: if you want to go that moral type.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Of games that do have like mcguffins or specific.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: But and and here's the thing that I want to
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: want to throw Cebe's way. This is the problem that
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: I genuinely have with this is that of the time
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: this is reserved for the rich or the powerful right,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: not often the technology that poor people can get a
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: hold of.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: That's true. But luckily we're creating this so we have
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: the ability to cater to who we want, which would
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: be everyone.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: You're just like I would make sure everybody has I
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: put all my skills.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: And rich.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Like, you know what, Fuck everybody, guys, we're starting a
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: superhero thing now. B FYGW has become superheroes. We're the
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: only ones where that fuck everybody else? Why because fuck you,
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: that's why it's ours. We came up with this. It'd
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: be cool and Patreon will give you guys like little
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: like sidekicks, superpowers and ship. They get five dollars.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: See five dollars a month, have your own mini superpower.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: I can jump three inches.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Addition to their vertical leap.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: But for some reason it'll actually become beneficial for him,
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: like they gotta make that extra like a little bit
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: that jub over a cliff or some ship. That's when
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: they're poweracted. My god, like the fucking five million dollar man,
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: six million dollars man. It could takes a noise.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: That's why Steve would be a supervillains Like.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: We have to clip that. That's fu hysterical. Okay, so
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I have to decide. I mean I like them both.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe good.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: Teleportation I feel like just would naturally be the most
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: useful superpower of all the supers. You could have.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: The most convenient instantaneous, like.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Somebody is being an asshole, teleport them into outer space
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: away from people like you, not like you teleport them
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: into the center of this if.
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: You want the whole total just instantly, if you want
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: to know, like a realistic tic because like with a heartstone,
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: you basically like talk to the fucking innkeeper and the
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: innkeeper does something and then you're bound to that ind
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: that so you can teleport all the ways back to
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: that in in like a realistic setting, it would need
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: basically you would need just the transmitter and the receiver,
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: so it would be just wherever the receiver is, that's.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: What you get teleported to. Someone just be home. You
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: could wherever you have that receiver parked, I.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Throw it, yeah, the edge of it, and then teleport
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: the guy.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: Just say where you want to go and whip it
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: at somebody. Uh bam, that's a nod.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: That's funny. Yeah, ten thousand feet straight up.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Bam.
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: That would be dude, next D and D story. I
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: want to play a wizard so bad? What do you
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: do at picking up rocks? Why? I'm a rock collector,
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: just like little pebbles and ship fucking casting like contact
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: spells onto them, whipping at motherfucker's Like, why is that
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: wizards deck so high?
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: Man, he's always scared of this, a little bag of
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: marbles or some ship. They're all teleport spell.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, But where do you go? Yeah, I'm gonna
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: give it to age. I think the reportation.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: I like.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: I like the idea of having to be able to respect.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: I would gladly trade my balls to have a little
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: bit more charisma.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: Everybody else.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: I made that, although once I have the chrisma, then
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: I'd want the balls back. But anyway, regardless, we're a
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: little bit of strength or speed. You know, I definitely
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: have the speed less wind drag.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: Anyway, a dynamic aero dynamics.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: My balls collect the gum on the floor. They do
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: they drag anyway. Wins this game?
