[Assistant] If we're doing a Season 2. Oh yeaah. Like, cause if, if Alpha 21 Darkness Falls is ready soon, which I think it will be, we should be starting from scratch. I think so. We will get those POIs, so I think it'll be like the best of everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. No, it's a quest still. You gotta do it. So we'll do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. She went, she went to go to the Pacman machine and, uh, she was there for a long time. Wow. Just killin' it. Just killin' it. That's amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's only one run. She just survived. She's that good. That's amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, uh, I remember playing, like, the Lego, like, Star Wars and Indiana Jones games. Gotcha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know someone from, uh, who went to Cape Fear community college and they said it was great for the money. Gotcha. I was interested in doing a cheap film school. Yeah. Where I could get a degree and just get some experience and yeah. And then you got Duke. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I have played it a bit, I just think it would be great for a series. This is why I was so into it. Because it could be like tense, same kind of tense vibes, but uh, you guys trying to cooperate and get stuff done. I think it could make for a great series. Because we do cooperate well. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would never be. It would only be like scenarios versus AI.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, when it was Twitch or when it was like Justin TV? Twitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, cause I'm the one who loves Ark the most. I think. And we got the Dumpster now. Yeaah. So, uh, yeaah. I've got a little solo series going over there. How many episodes? Three are out. I've got five recorded. Alright. Oh really? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, what else was the first one? Uh, I have a paracer named Dingleberry. Yeaah. And, uh, first episode was just me and him. Just walking around, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm really enjoying my solo run because you guys don't have the patience that I have for certain things in art. So I can just do what I want. Like what? That is cool. Like, I would be fine to go get the artifacts and fight a boss. I know you don't want to do that stuff. No, no. I don't have the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The patience to listen to those traveler notes either. No, but I know if I get on, I'll get like XP and stuff like that. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just like traveling around, I like taming dinos and like- Yea, I like that part of Ark. Like, but I don't know, I also just like, I don't know, I want to get flyers and get more powerful, but also just enjoy the journey in the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea, you can open ARK, go into like, whatever, just play locally on your computer. I would say ARK's a bit more brutal sometimes. I'm sure. Cause yea, you could lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our stuff on the dumpster a lot of time is not edited at all. It's just raw. This is slightly edited but it's super easy to cut because it's one angle. Ark's a great game for getting shots in because you got orbital cam and you know, it's just a pretty game anyway. And so yea, I just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Transition shot of me riding my crocodile or whatever. And then you get there and go, oh, what's this? And then we check it out. And I talk to the audience more. Cause I like interacting with the audience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're talking to yourself, aren't you? Yeah, well I've done it. I talk to my dinos too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simon's like this, uh, popular woman that gets songs and flowers from everyone. He's like, I don't know, someone wrote me a song, I can't remember. I didn't see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh oh, you got a bomb on your sandwich. Uh oh. No, you got ketchup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Overcooked, yea, you had to like run around, get all the parts, and then deliver your plate, right? Right. And the first person to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got a bunch of games, uh, people send us codes a lot. Yeah. A lot of smaller game developers and things like that. Some of them kind of remind me of that. I think there was a spy one. We should just, uh, play some of these on our stream one night. Yeah, dude, I'm down. Just redeem all these codes and go through them. Let's check them out. And the dumpster. What is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are there a bunch of, is that a DLC or is that a mod? That's a DLC. Are there a bunch of DLCs? Yea. There really could be. Anything you're into. Yea. Captain America. It could be like She-Els and whatever else. You'd have to work with Marvel, you gotta get that license, but. But you could see if you're a, if you like that game and you're a Marvel fan, you'd probably want that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well you gotta think about the powers. What do the, like what does a pickle do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like the mustard I think would shoot out. Shoot at the enemies. Okay, well you're thinking of a different type of game, but yeah. Well there's things that shoot out at you and vampire survivors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing spins around you, other thing kind of holds like a force field around you when things are shooting out. Okay. Hmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You saying that reminds me of one of my best friends and, and this story has, goes into my solo series too, cause, uh, my best friends from high school's names Brandon. Okay. And we used to run track and field together. Okay. And I can't believe the mess we'd eat before track practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then go do track practice. Then go run six miles. Kind of a throw up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, anyway, so in, um, my solo, Arc Solo on the Dumpster, uh, I named Dino Brandon after my friend Brandon. Oh nice. And it's funny because I didn't realize this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until I saw the comments coming in. Cause I, I was, uh, it was a starco named Brandon. So that was my way of getting around. Alright, your buddy. So when I'm done in an area, I'm like, alright, let's go Brandon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then uhm, I jump on him and we leave. Right? When thinking about the whole political thing, which is hilarious to me. Oh god. So there were so many let's go Brandon comments in the, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was in the last year or two. But regardless of what side you're on, that's a funny, that's a funny situation. When it happened it was hilarious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't think it was, I don't think he was trying, yeah, he, that's just what he heard, he wasn't trying to cover it up. It seemed like, oh man. I thought it was just like, that's what he heard, he goes, yeah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so. Yeah, but that doesn't tell us what we're- we know he did that. Yeah. Did he do it on purpose or was he just honestly mistaken?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also, when you watch something, either in a theater or on TV, what you hear and what someone, like even our, our, uh, not our last show, but live show, but the one before that, we had a hard time hearing a lot of stuff. You know? So, you would think, well, can they not hear, you know, what's going on? I mean, maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we got other problems that would rather the government tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was urgent. I just want roads that aren't toll roads. We got a couple, like I think toll roads are cancer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we've always had decent roads, and we've, in the past we've had no toll roads that I know of. Toll roads. Now we got a few poppin' in, and the northeast to me is just a disaster. Like the toll road situation up there, like, what a mess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we've got air tags and most of Simon's stuff in case that happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a different, uh, a New Year's party experience like I've never had. Okay. So, uh, my wife likes to go to bed early and I don't. No. So curious on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, she was ready to go to bed after dinner. I'm like- It was like seven o'clock? I'm like, this is New Year's. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If even. Seven o'clock, she eats. She's like, hey, time for bed. I don't think it's 12 o'clock things gonna happen. I'm like, well, you told, you told our neighbor's release stop by and say, hey. And she's like, oh, so tired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, she's like, alright. She's like, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, anyway, we go, so it's my Ecuadorian neighbors. Alright. And, uh, we weren't planning on like spending the whole evening with them, but we get there and they're, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've got drinks, they're cooking some stuff, their whole like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they love me, so they'll never say that. But anyway, uhm, so yeaah. So I keep, I keep procrastinating, getting a little close to midnight so I can be like, hey, how you doing baby? You're not getting tired, right? She's like, ah, tired, but how long is it? We got like two hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, a mannequin or like a dummy of a person? Okay. And what they do in Ecuador, I guess, is just everybody in the street has these. And they're just everywhere in the streets burning them. And they thought, well, we probably can't burn this in the street cause...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neighbors. Stuff like that. It's New Year. So they had this big thing, like a fire pit, they were gonna put their dummy in the backyard and burn it in like the fire pit. So they're making a dummy, sewing stuff together, stuffing it with newspaper and my wife's like, if my wife's busy, she's good. She don't like to sit around and do nothing. Right. So now she's making a dummy. So this is, this is helping out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then what they do is they like, I guess they put things on there they want to get rid of, like things from the past, say it was like COVID or I don't know, something, something in your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things, things you want to get out of your life in the past, you're gonna burn it, it's a new year. I like that. So at midnight, that's what they're gonna do. They also do, uh, I think this is a lot of, uh, South American cultures, but they do 12 grapes. Mostly, like a, maybe like a grape for every bell at the stroke of midnight or something. What do you mean a grape? You eat one, or you stomp it. You eat it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They handed us, right before the countdown, a shish kebab with 12 grapes skewered on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Potato, much appreciated. I took it home. Still got it. You gonna eat it? Probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would much rather have a potato than a bunch of dumb stuff that you could get. Like a, I don't know, just a plastic trinket or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Give me a pound of chicken. Please. That's a good gift. Chicken wings. Something I can eat. I told you about the dirty Santa thing I did, right? I think we did talk about that last year's the burning thing. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's a big thing. So the whole family's running and jumping over this burning dummy. And it wasn't like standing up like six feet tall, you know, it was like small. Right, it was in a fire pit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you jump over it and everybody jumped over it. It was fun. It was a fun vibe to be around. Cause the whole family's there from kids to, you know, grandparents and, and then their, their garage is like a discotheque, man. There's loud music and laser light show going on in there and he built a little mini bar in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fine. There you go. I like it too. Anyway, to me it was a great New Years. Loved it. Showed her arm to Dora's mic. He just walked in. I know. Hey Dora!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This podcast is gonna have background Dora in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, no. Damn it. I'm sorry. Shit. Next year, I will, uh, insist they have a hat. Thank you. Yeah. It was perfect. It was perfect. I couldn't have asked for something better. I definitely would not want to go to, uhm, Times Square. That seems like a miserable place to be. No, god. Horrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think they were just reading the news? We could do that, right? Yea, they were just kind of guessing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was in a hotel once that got evacuated. You ever experience that? No. I don't think so. Yeah, it was on a layover too. You're like, ugh, I'm tired from flying. I gotta get up early and catch the flight. Oh Jesus. Fire alarm goes off. It's fun staying in a parking lot with everybody not ready to be seen.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've crashed, I've crashed parties with Brad. Well, it was Brad's idea. He always wants to go to parties he's not supposed to be at. That's his, he loves that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edward Teach is uh, Blackbeard. Named after Blackbeard. Yep, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the people, you know, cause they distribute their beer to a lot of places. And a lot of other stores and restaurants are stopping to carry in their beers. Yeah. And it's, you know, it's, it's kind of sad because it's not just him. Right. Exactly. A lot of people that work there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, he's concerned. What if, I mean, you've said this earlier about- Just show him your neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Sometimes that happens. There's an easy way to solve the problem. It just doesn't happen. Just like in Lethal Company, whenever App Store today is going to stay back in the ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're like, well he's right there, ask him! And you wouldn't, and no one asked him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's very different. It doesn't throw me off as much as you guys. No, not high, but I do get it. How much did you guys die? I mean, like I came in a little later, thicker than I did. Yeah. A lot of death. I don't remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Which is great. That's uh, that's awesome. Yeah. And it's nice and easy. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause that worked well on Bigfoot and, oh, it's good stuff. Bigfoot was fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and we couldn't find the little, well, in any of them we didn't bring one of us back from the dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'd say a few weeks that'll start dropping, that'll be fun. Yeah, nah, I look forward to... Do you look forward to recording it on Thursday, Simon?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The beginning of, of alpha 21, the food water is, it's, you know, it's trick, it's tough. It's a little more brutal. It made it a lot more brutal in the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's the one where there's like robots that I saw Glock playing, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true, you could dedicate one to science if you've got two toilets. Yeah, make that a video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. I love talking about it again. I know. More and more. It's fun. It's a funny moment in our history. Reminisce. Yeah. So, uh, were we gonna talk about the, uh, la billboard? Oh, we can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we could just give overall thoughts on how we think the series is going so far. We've got four in the can. Are you happy with how you're doing, Simon? Feeling comfy out there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you see what kind of pizza it was? I couldn't tell you. No, no, no, it was in the box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's weird about Domino's? Who's the weirdest thing? Uhm, do you like mushrooms on your Domino's pizza? Uhm, I don't, I prefer


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have the weirdest mushrooms. They do? Yeah. Yeah, I don't order them. They don't taste like mushrooms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty good with our podcast, you know. Raw bell pepper, I just love. I mean, like, you know. With hummus, I love pepper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll just start it with this. Uhm, it was an Asian restaurant. We're eating outside, lovely night. Uhm, all put in our orders, drink, stuff like that. And then it was, it was the selfie time, wasn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yea, it was one of those breaks. It was one of those breaks that it wasn't just cracked the screen. No, it broke. Like, probably 80% of the screen was just, you know, like nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The night before, uh, we, when we went and saw Barbie, we, uh, went to the Mexican place that's right by there, and the service was the same. Same, slow, so slow. What is going on? So slow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember meeting a dog that had one of those kind of disorders and just always head down and did nothing but turned in a left circle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, we're moving this weekend. Moving day, that's always fun. Yeaah, and uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two or three times. He's not the most graceful cat and he's quite large. And there's a, you can see the body shape of him down in a bush below. It's true, I haven't seen it. It's like something out of a damn Looney Tune. It's wonderful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's got a little bit of a curve on it, but it's, it's about, I don't know, five inches wide. So I think that brings the appeal or the, it lures them to like, Oh, I'll go up in that little flat. So I don't think the, the railing of the new place is going to be as intriguing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could, I had a lot of pillow banging when I grew up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so then you, the second thing, it was like, you let me know when you're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, gonna be starting to look at an electronic kit if you get there. Because there are certain tiers of them that are just kind of a waste of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's like, it's the equivalent of like, uhm, you know, if you're a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 12 hours, alright. I'm in. I wonder how many people when they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forget the name. It's been a while since I got one of those. Entertainment Partners.

[Assistant] Yeah, good stuff. Yeah, that was fun. We had fun. This was fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, I love it when we do it, but it is a gauntlet. It's like, yea, by, uh, what? Yea, yesterday I was just like, I don't want to do anything. Oh, yea, yesterday hurt. Yea, I need to relax. It was fun. Oh, worth it. Worth every bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't think, I don't know if he knew what to expect or not, but then he shows up at the, at the, uh, ironclad event, just on cloud nine. He's like, I've been fucking busy all day. This is amazing. What are you guys doing? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a little too drunk that night. Fair enough. I got a little too...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hit it a little too hard, a little too early. I think whiskey was involved at some point. Yeaah, I remember whiskey showing up. It was just like, oh god, okay. And then, uh, yeaah, when I left there, uhm, yeaah, my girlfriend was like, I've never seen you that drunk. Cause I usually don't get there. But yeaah, I got there. I was stumbling home. I was like, Jesus Christ, someone get me the fuck out of here. One good thing about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're learning, aren't we? Yeah, with the previous live show we tried to do signings and everything afterwards and it was too much. So after this live show, which we'll get to in a bit, we were able to more mingle and it was wonderful. It was.

[Assistant] Yeah, we get there. We're downtown at what, two o'clock setting up? Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was so much to talk about. Yeah, no, I'm like, I'm going through everything in my brain. It's a whirlwind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'd be curious to try Heave Ho because there's the versus mode, but uhm, I didn't realize until the show and looking at it, I was like, oh, we could have all, we could have done teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt great Sunday because yea, I was, I was a much better boy Saturday night cause yea, it was lighter beers in the water all night. So yea, Sunday woke up, I was, I was good. I got up, uhm, I went downtown, I met our friend Daniel.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, in that realm. It was fun, it was fun too, just in the live show, hearing from people that had never seen the ocean before. Yeah, at least a few. Coming to Wilmington, it was like, first time coming to a place like this, I saw the ocean today! That is a plus. And so excited about it, like hell yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does, it's like this weird mix of Pokemon, obviously, and then Ark, like Fortnite, and Breath of the Wild. It's like they took elements from all these games and just slammed it together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make this own weird thing that looks like artistic, like art-wise it's all over the place. It's such a hodgepodge of a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, it's fun to play and that's what matters the most. Who developed it? Uhm, what was it? Is it Work? Work? I think their name is Workybench?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a previous title called Craftopia, I believe. Let me double check that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm sorry, it wasn't Worky Bench, I guess Pocket Pair is the name of the developer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pocket, pocket pair, and yea, they did Craftopia in 2020. Which is weird, because I thought that game is still in early access, but maybe they finished it? Now I'm, now I'm going down an even bigger rabbit hole. Here I go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Good god. There are more than one workbenches. You have a workbench for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess weapons and you have a workbench for making stuff specifically for your pals, but no, it's not, nothing's Conan levels of workbench. Your statue of power. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even still, it's like it gets to a point where like, wait, what workbench do I need to do the thing? Oh god. We have a lot of workbench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's very much like, uh, Breath of the Wild or Conan. You got a little stamina meter. So yeah, when you jump on, yeah, when you jump on something, you can climb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a parachute, you can get like, uh, certain pals will operate like a parachute or a glider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you'll like it, Nieves, just because I know how, uh, in Ark you like getting dinosaurs and making a little dinosaur clan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so this kind of the same thing, uhm, with these pals, like they all have utility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and they'll even, what I didn't know, and when I started to get into the game, what surprised me was they help around the base. Yeaah. Awesome. So you can, you can get one that's, you know, fire related and when you're cooking food, it'll help you cook food faster. It was like, oh shit, this thing actually does something other than just fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First you go to Steve and you click on the game and you wait for the loading screen. Gotta get to that 10 minute mark for the YouTube algorithm, you know? Yeah, he seemed like he got to the point quick and it went wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I did some experimenting when I was playing last night, uhm, cause obviously when we're looking at any game to potentially do a series of, our first question is can we break


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, breaker, I think it's called Unreal Engine Unlocker. Yeaah. That allows you to break the camera. Same kind of concept, uh, in PAL world. But, when I broke the camera,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was hosting, so maybe it's different if I joined somebody. When I broke the camera in the character and pulled away, it glitched everybody out. Everybody else who was playing like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They couldn't ride their, you know, ride their pals, they couldn't interact with stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, pulling the camera away disabled a lot of their functions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I was hosting, so I'm gonna try tonight, actually, I'm gonna hop in and see, okay, what if I'm not hosting? Can I install this mod? Can I break the camera and does it fuck with everybody? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I think we're also going to try to get a server. If we can hop in a server, then yea, just see, uh, see if that's possible there as well. Since the server's hosting, maybe it's less load on the actual game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so we're gonna do a first, we're gonna do a first look tomorrow, kinda hop in and play for a bit and see what we think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it's uhm, it reminds me of Ark and it's progression system. Like every time you level up, you get access to new toys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome. So there's like, and it literally, you unlock stuff the same way. It's like, oh, you got Engram points or some sort of points. What do you want to spend it on in your, um, I guess your stuff tree? It's like, oh, you're level 25 now. You can buy this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the game was cool and it really came together for me, uh, last night we were playing and we all tackled one boss. So when you got a group of friends and you all got your pals out and like everybody's fighting this one thing, I was like, oh shit, this is cool. That's neat. This feels really good. This is fun. It's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, only one can be deployed at a time unless later on that's a level up that I don't know about yet. So do you know how many you can have at your base?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, at your base you can, you can have like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems like maybe two or 300, not working at the base. You can only have a certain number working at a time, but the more you capture, it just stores them in this like pal box thing. And then you can also go to merchants and sell them if you want later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far as I know, yea, it's not procedural. Gotcha. It's just, yea, it's a map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're usually at the office on a Tuesday, but we're recording on a Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because you have to throw it out and then like tell it to come to you to hold it to use it as a flamethrower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, all you gotta do is hit a button and whoop, they go back in, throw them, toss them back out. And it's really easy to switch in between them. So if you've got five in your pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're like, ah, throw out this guy, and then, oh shit, his health's getting low. Whoop. Pull him out. Nice. Throw another one back out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Yeah. You get, you collect those like, and they're just kind of hidden all over the world. Um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's another thing the game does really well. It rewards exploration, unlike Ark, uh, where, you know, you might turn a corner and, uh, you know, you'll find a chest. You'll find little things hidden in little pockets. Wow. You're like, wow, there's things behind waterfalls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are those laying around, but they don't automatically play. They're like, boo, you picked up some sort of world diary or whatever that I'm never gonna read. Throw it away if you'd like. Yeah, who gives a shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those, those you can find certain fruits on and the fruits are powers that like, you can feed the fruit to your pals to give them extra powers. Like you might find a lightning fruit, feed it to one of your pals, like even the fire and now any of them. And then now that Firefox can do a lightning spell. That's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but no, it really does, like, it, like, I played a good chunk yesterday and by the end of it I had like had a little team built and I was like, oh, this is, this is awesome. I feel like I got my little, my team of Pokemen or whatever and I can go out there and I can fight and I have, you know, ones for specific, specific things. Yeah. So. I'm excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yes, the game encourages you to keep beating them and keep capturing them. Okay, the same one specifically. The first, I think the first ten, you get like an experience boost. So it's like, oh yeah, you got ten of these guys, so here's a little XP boost. Okay, but is it ten of them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but it's also easy to sell them, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it wants to show, you know, which it's easy at first cause you're checking, you know, you're just fighting like sheeps and chicken, but as you go into harder areas, it's like, Oh, getting 10 of this shit might be tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I don't know. We were playing with... It's up to four. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that, that might, that might be if you're hosting like a private thing, but if you have a, if you have a, your own dedicated server, you can have up to 32 players. Oh my God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The four people playing, I think that's only Xbox Game Pass, because it is available on Game Pass right now. But if you play on Steam, uh, Steam has dedicated servers, that'll host up to 32 players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of good ideas there. That's a good, uh, yeah, that's a good reactionary title. We refuse to play Power World. No, we're not gonna. We're too good for it. I'll get a click or two. Nah, man. It looked fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't, I didn't touch the building, uhm, but I saw it in action. And it's, it's standard. It's okay. It's foundation. It's foundation, it's walls, it's, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I'm way more excited about the building than in Shrouded just because that's their whole system's voxel based and they've, uhm, that's an engine that they've built from the ground up specifically for that game. So I'm way more like if you're, if you're into building in your games, I think that's going to be probably more your jam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if you're looking for a Pokemon game, which according to the Steam charts, everybody was looking for a Pokemon game, then uh, Power World's right up your alley. It's Pokemon game meets survival game. Pokemon dropped the ball, they could have done this, you know? Dude, yeah, it blows my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How that franchise with all the money they've made, they just didn't, one, you could have just gone switch route and gone, okay, we're going to make a HD upgrade. That's the exact game boy game that everybody loved growing up, but do it link to the past or I'm sorry, a link between world style where you just give it a nice HD coat of paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or develop a whole new like, and I know they did try to do a Pokemon open world game, but apparently it sucks. And I mean, I'm not a big Pokemon fan, but this is what I've heard from Pokemon fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I know Anthony was big into it as a kid and he was like, yeah, it's like, this is like a really cheap, ugly version of Breath of the Wild and like, this franchise has made so much money, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of flabbergasting why they didn't really invest in a really good Pokemon game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what allows this game to succeed, because it's like, okay, if they're not gonna do it, we'll fucking do it. Seems it, yeah. Good on them. Don't bring it in and give people what they want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, Neebs, I watched The Flash on the plane. The Flash? Oh, here we're going straight to Flash, wow. Yea, The Flash, yea. How'd you like that? It was okay, yea. You brought up DC trying to make a good movie and it's like, oh well, yea. It was a good segue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a perfect Switch game for traveling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's a Mario game. You move left to right, you jump over shit, you hit blocks. And uhm, there's something unique every level. It's wonderful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh, I mean I didn't play a lot of it, but what I played on the Switch, you know, just on the plane was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah. That's, man, that's getting...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of flack, because it's made by Rocksteady, and that's the same company that made the Batman Arkham games. And all of those games are like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Revere as being some of the best superhero games ever made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're dark, they're gritty, they don't have much HUD, like people love them for how immersive they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The footage from the Suicide Squad game is like, they showed a, uhm, they showed like a weapons menu and it looks like you're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Constantly picking up loot and just changing guns out and the HUD's a mess. Like, I hope the game's good because it's Rocksteady and they've made some awesome shit in the past and it's like a four player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Co-op superhero game, kind of like Gotham Knights was. Sounds pretty good on paper, but it just has too much, too many gamey elements and you expect kind of more from that, that developer. You expect something to be a little bit more grounded, but who knows? I think a lot of people are just mad because it's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It, it's not what people expected from that developer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't because it was easy to switch in between your weapons, like you, uh, you equip yourself with, uh, um, you know, four weapons or whatever. And then you can like, I, I, I played on controller because it's third person. Any game in third person, I, I'm just more comfortable with controller for some reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but you know, I just hit Y and it would just swap between the weapons really quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm proud of you too. There you go. You're usually asking for those things, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it can. Uhm, I was gonna bring that up, like, especially when, like, like I said earlier, when everybody's fighting at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you have your pals health bar, you have all your friends pals health bars, you have all your friends health bars, then it's like, oh god, it's a lie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then there's damage numbers, yea, on top of it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't know. Yeah, I didn't look. Yeah, damage numbers is a weird thing. It's like, it's something I've always felt. Yeah, it does. It kinda, it takes me out of it too, a little bit. Me as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, I understand why people like to see it. It's, it's fun to see like, oh, I shot this enemy. A sense of accomplishment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, oh, I did two damage and then I upgraded some deer and I shot that same India again. Holy shit, 35 damage. Oh man, that's great. It's like I understand the psychology of it, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would prefer it get represented in a different way, like okay, you shoot an arrow at the enemy. Not even a bar, like if you shoot an arrow at an enemy, if it's, if the enemy is like, the resistance against it, the arrow might go poink, like nothing gets done. If you upgrade your arrow or whatever and then you shoot it, you would hear like a nice whoosh, like a big sound effect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you do it visually, uhm, with visuals and sound design, I think that it's much more interesting and engaging than fucking numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one thing I would love, with the pals, I hope they added some way to change their colors if you would like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to differentiate it from the other ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think they have 111 or something right now. They already got a bunch, but they absolutely can. If they, I mean, they've already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sold more than four million copies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four million copies of this game, like, just over the past few days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but uhm, so those devs got, uh, they got the money now, so they can keep this thing going for a while and they should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, there are bosses just out roaming the world, which are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess you could say yea, those are mini bosses, and then there are also bosses inside of dungeons. You can find these caves and enter the cave, and at the end of the cave, there's a boss you fight. If you beat a boss, you get treasure. Typical shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It drops items that you can use. It drops useful items and then I think it opens a door that uhm, will allow you to exit the dungeon and then by the exit to the dungeon there's always a couple of chests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been disappointed more often than not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so when, yeah, when you launch, cause you're just doing a solo thing. So it may be, it may be taking that into account. I was like, okay, this is a solo, solo server. Let's make sure we put good stuff in the drops. But damn, when you play on a multiplayer server, shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what you need. Yeah, exactly. You need, you need, if you're gonna gamble, you need a very clear, like an envelope is perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go into the casino, you got an envelope. Alright, this is my gambling envelope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever I take out, I'll use, and then I can put shit back in the envelope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched him for a little bit, like I went to the casino with him and I was like, I'm not gonna play in these games, but I'll watch you play the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just yeaah, it was just interesting, cause I'm not a- What was he playing? Some damn slot machine game. You hit a button and like these, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They look like different bills of cash rolling by and they got the pictures of the presidents on them, you know, George Washington.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's bullshit. It's bullshit. It's like, what is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amount of money he spent on playing at the casino is like, man, you could have bought four steam games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he was having a good time. Yeah, I think in the end, he probably lost a little bit of money, but it wasn't too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So tell us about your trip. Well, Neebs, yea, kick it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. What was your, it was your lady's birthday. That's right. So you extended the invite and I was like, yeah, you know, we've talked about vacationing with Neebs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're not bad. I mean, at it's core, it's still a Disney cruise. It's, it's, you know, it's pretty safe, it's tame, even though they try to bill it as like, you know, ooh, the first night you go up on the deck, it's like, hey everybody, we're going to get raunchy. There's no raunch. No, if you had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, there were a couple of teenagers running around which made me raise my eyebrow. You see those guys? There was like one or two of them and I was like, what the fuck y'all doing here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe. I don't know. Some people look young. Maybe so. I don't know. This couple look like really young. What the hell? Y'all use fake IDs or some shit? What y'all doing here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was nice. I will say they made it easy. Like I could leave my wallet in my room, all I had to carry was my phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, go to the bar, like, okay I want a drink, let me scan your bracelet. Boop. Need to get back into my room, use the bracelet. Boop. Everything was tied to the bracelet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I tell you man, they were, it was, being able to keep up with your bar tab and everything on the app and everything, that was great too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, they got their shit figured out. I'm impressed with how they're working. I got a, what, they sent me a bill, you know, of everything I spent, like everything itemized. I was like, man, why can't hospitals do this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Richard. Richard, alright, you need to get off the cruises. You need to get on hospitals. Hospitals can't see me in an itemized damn thing for shit. I got a build the other day. But it'd be cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't be raunchy, whatever, it's, it's Disney for, well, some, some Disney is already for adults. But it's like Disney for teenagers. But it's still fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's innuendo. It's like we went to a show called what? Ship Show?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the, you know, the, the guy hosting is like, you know, he's got these three dances around in me. He's always like, girl, what you doing later?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take those titties out. Yeah, no, see that's the thing, that's what I was billed as like, hey it's a cruise for adults. I wanted to see some tits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, what is it? This is Disney, this is a Disney cruise. You gotta go to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the only difference. I've been on a Disney cruise and I've been on a Virgin cruise. The only difference is there's no...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sounds nice. That's a big sale. No kids and no goofy outfit. That's the difference. Other than that, it's practically a Disney cruise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I hate those pitcher people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just quit it. It's 20, it's 2024. If you're, if you got a job trying to sell me a damn picture for what, 10 bucks or 20 bucks, whatever they're charging, get the fuck out of my place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Niebz's, man, Niebz's lady's camera on her phone. It's insane. What's that, Google Pixel? Something like that. It looks good. That thing takes crazy good photos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's wild. It's only gonna get better. It's already pretty damn amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I was, I was, I was going to kind of go day by day of like, you know, day one we were in San Juan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, I didn't know what to expect and I loved it. Puerto Rico, I mean I only saw old San Juan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that area is great. It was fun to walk around. Lots of bars. Just good vibe. Really good vibe there. A little dirty. Yea, you know, you'll see like a house that's, it looks great and then right beside it there's a house that's just dilapidated. So, you know, there's some things you can probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it adds a little character, I get it, but at the same time I'm like, man, what the hell's happening here? This might follow me. Yeah, no, it's not, it's not, it's not safe. But, uhm, overall, I would absolutely go back to that city again and walk around. Like, yeah, it was, it was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then hopped on the cruise. What was our, man, I wish I should pull up the itinerary. Do you remember the first day?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, that was, that was, yeaah, leaving old San Juan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, enough to fill a week, I'll tell you that. And they've got a galley. Yeah, we hated a different, yeah, hated a different restaurant every night. And then yeah, the galley, there was a whole fucking buffet upstairs. Every time I walked in there, Niebz was there. Of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, they're like, what are y'all doing here? He's just like, he's been doing this for two hours. I'm ready to go somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is crazy to me, because I'm like, every restaurant we ate at, the food was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was just all included. Yeah, it was, yeah, fantastic. And you can go over and over again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we left and then, what was our first stop? Do you remember, trying to remember the order of things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. That was the hiking, right? The hiking adventure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was like, imagine taking a nature walk with a construction site behind you. Yeah. Beautiful. Yeah, that was it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the beginning, it was like going into a valley and then everything like on top of the valley and around was like construction was going on and all these houses. But we walked down into a valley to this, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, yeah, what did he say? He's like, my grandma says, if, if the animals can eat the plants, we can eat the plants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but this one, this one was the, the oldest on Tortola.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the, all the, I guess, all the other ones have been like destroyed in hurricanes or something like that, but they still have, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the old burners and some of the old machinery. So kind of take a tour of, of the distillery. And then, yeaah, they let you taste some rum. And then after that we ended up on a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah, yeah, one with, um, it was like 15 years old and it was like, had a, had a little bit of sugar cane in it. Okay. And it was like, yeah, it was, it was some good shit. That was candy. And then what? Went to a beach, swam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's unreal when you're there. It's like, I've seen this in postcards. I've never been here. This is weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't belong here. And then, uh, what was exciting about that and going to Tortola, I guess that was the first time a, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A virgin cruise had gone to Tortola, so it was a big deal, I guess, in and of itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy had made you guys drinks on a previous cruise. That's right. And your, your wife remembered him. And she's like, yea, she was so excited to go see him. And it was kind of funny for a second cause she's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, yeah, maybe it was a name, yeah, it was gumption. I'm actually, I'm looking at his Twitter right now. Cause, uh, yeah, his, his, uh, his, I think his name on Twitter is see it clear BVI. Cause they, I'm seeing him. I see him on Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I wish, yeah, I'm not, I'm not gonna go into it because I forgot his whole story, but we should, uh, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he has, okay, so he has a business called See It Clear Tours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea, see it clear, yea, see it clear tours. I'm looking at a picture of him right now. Yea, fun guy. Gumption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was neat to drive a cruise ship through a fireworks show. Yeah. Cause we're just booking, we're moving so quick, the fireworks are going off, we're like, whoa! It was nuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you couldn't see anything because all you could see were fucking fireworks. Yep. So, that's on his page. Pretty cool. Alright, I'll have to look that up, Mr. Branson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Overall most places were not, the only place where it was weird was Guadalupe. I can't, I'm not gonna recommend anybody go to Guadalupe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. It's alright, why? Or at least where we were. Man, that port is a bit dirty. Oh, a bit? That port is fucking filthy. Alright. Jesus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it wasn't even that, it was like the, it was kind of just an unfriendly feeling, and everything was dirty, like nothing was taken care of. And it was like, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was the only place where I'm like, I mean, did Richard get off at this port and walk around? I would have never said yes to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm sure that island has nice places, but the port is not it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I mean, that is the thing. If you don't like the island, just go back to the boat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no shit. But yeah, overall it was uh, overall it was really cool. I would definitely do another cruise, and probably not, not for like a few years, but I'd do it again. It was relaxing as hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took too damn long to eat was my take. Uhm, the food was great. It's like everything that we ate was fantastic. But it was like, it was like a two hour thing. It was like alright. Did it get full?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's coming from me. I don't eat anywhere as near as much food as Neves. I think I would have gotten full if I was able to eat everything they brought within a span of 30 minutes. Or 45 minutes, like a normal meal time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was just like, it was spread out over two hours, and I was like, by the end of it, I was like, I feel like I've only eaten like, just little bits and nibbles here. And like, now I want like, something meatier. I think I went up to the salad bar and had like, half a salad. I had a whole salad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and I'll give you, I'll give you a pro tip because when I left the test kitchen I was drunk. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So pro tip, if you go to the test kitchen, you know, one, one of the option is like, oh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so yeah, they- wh- when you think of like, oh they're gonna pair beer, I thought it was gonna be like a beer flight. Yeah? So like, a little flight glass. They bring you a full beer. It's a whole beer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I drink a six pack of like really high alcohol. Every 15 minutes. 15 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, the food, I mean, yeah, everything, I don't remember anything being disgusting. But yeah, everything was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing disgusting here. Nothing was disgusting. Everything was edible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we did the excursion in St. John. That was amazing. Went to like, uh, the top of this fort. Went to this naval yard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, hopped on a catamaran and cruised around the island, went to a beach. Like yeaah, Saint, and St. John's is gorgeous. I'm sorry, that's not the town of St. John's, this is Antigua. The island of Antigua. But big island, man. Yeaah, took a bus tour. Yeaah, it was uhm, yeaah, I'd go back there in a heartbeat. Easy. Yeaah, the two places I would...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Barbados was alright, yeah. I think the two places that I would go back to for like an extended vacation would be either Tortola or uh, Antigua. Really enjoyed those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Switch gears real quick. Dora, I know you brought up maybe the last podcast or the podcast before how in VR you're excited about those things that can kind of hold you and you can walk. For sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see the uh, Disney engineer that created that holo-tile? No, I didn't see that. Look that up. Okay. It's basically like all these things on a floor that you could just walk on. No, no straps or anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like yeaah, some Disney Imagineer came up with this thing called the holotile. Yeaah, I'll check that out man. I've been excited about that for years. Wild looking. But yeaah, it's like, I saw that and I'm like, that's it. You get VR in that thing and you're there. How much space does it take up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can make it as big as you want to. It's like these little tiles, like you click together. So you can fill a whole room with them. Okay, well that sounds like work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, for sure. I mean, it'd have to be your damn floor, but, like, I saw that thing and that clicked with me so much more than like this thing you would have to have to strap yourself into with VR. With the treadmill thing? Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For sure, yea, it's definitely like a slow step kind of thing right now. But yea, you wonder in the future is like yea, could you get that type of thing to a point where yea, you could run and have VR goggles on and it would count for like quick stops and quick starts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Alright. I was like, oh! Like, this is it! That's, that's like, that's what I've been waiting for. Yeah. Someone to come up with some shit like that. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what? I'm sure there's a video like, uh, I know Disney put out a video on it, might go into more detail. I just saw like, uh, surface level shit on it, but I was like, woah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, a lot of questions. I think that I have to. Yeaah. Yeaah. No, it's, uh, that's so interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They Disney, they got the money and they hire people that know what the fuck they're doing. Yeaah. And they put them in goofy outfits. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. You're a pro at surviving hordes, Simon. It's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've had a lot of good moments recently. There was one, I watched the lethal company that Jack did, that moment where I enter and then Simon enters. Simon just screams and turns around and then here comes, here comes Doro, it's running, screaming as well with a monster case and it was just like, it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, good shit. Alright, well hey, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys are awesome. We should do something nice for those guys someday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that. Oh, that's good shit. It's buried in the description box. Yeaah. Yeaah. Or a full episode of something. It's at the end of the podcast. We don't tell anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get to see it, they get to see it. Okay, alright, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, an episode of legal company. I like that link.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So tell us why, Nibs. Why I've never played Zelda? Yeaah. Now, it's not that I've never, I've never played modern Zelda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a, yeah, I remember like looking top down, walking through little left to right. Yeah. Sword, sword, sword, something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Puzzles here and there, but everybody goes nuts over modern Zelda. Yeah, like good reason I cannot


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But look, I've never had a new, like, whatever Nintendo these new games are played on. Yeah. So, I had a PlayStation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three, then four, and now we're on PC, so, I got nothing for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And is there anything that you know about coming up that you're excited about? Or you just know they're gonna do a good job?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I offered to call him. I was like, we'll call you. We'll put a mic on my phone. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elden Ring? What was the one with the chopping and the zombies and the- I kept the bear traps. Keep stepping in bear traps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sleep? People sleeping can be funny. Oh, for sure. When everyone else is awake, one person's asleep. Are you a snorer? Uh, no, not really. Perhaps so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That works. No, if my wife's snoring, it doesn't bother me. Yeah. It, uh, I kind of find it comforting because I know she's sleeping sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cra- cause I don't remember discovering that. I remember just thinking like that was a thing. That you just know. Yea, I don't remember discovering it either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've had these arguments before though, like I, it blows my mind that you can't go, okay here it comes, I'm gonna change the way I, I do something with my mouth, or the way I, you have no control over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that would be a conscious decision to go, I'm gonna go all in on this one, right? I wanna fight it man, like fighting a sneeze is dumb. But you can like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Copper in my mouth? Well, but still let the air come out, but it could go into a tissue or somewhere. Like my hands? They're muffled. There's science and physics involved here. I try to help it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Like if you just opened up, let's say you're outside. There's no people around. And you go. But that's vocal. Your vocal cords don't have to be a part of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just doing science. If you hate science, I won't have this conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Like I could sneeze really hard, but it'd just be air. No vocals. What? Just like a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like something like that. You don't have to add that. You don't have to get your vocal cords involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gave it an effort, so maybe your body's built that way. Maybe so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was awful. That, I can see why you want to have different challenges, but that's not one that I enjoy. No. When you get rabies or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the stuff's not even that easy to find, like the leeches or whatever else you had to get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A concert Saturday. It's a Mexican rock band. Yeaah. And I'm curious because everyone I've asked doesn't know this band. They've been around probably since the 80s. And I have never heard of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mana. Mana. Yeah. Yep. The band. Yep. And I think they, uh, I knew who they were but I never listened to them. Okay. Uhm, so this, since last Saturday I've been cramming. Like if I'm taking a shower, I'm driving. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if I go to a concert, I want to go, oh yep, that's my song. My favorite song is Corazon Espinado. Santana's in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's, it's pretty awesome. Okay. So, but I can't wait to see what this is like to go to a Mexican rock band concert. Never been to one. Hell yeaah. I don't know what to expect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what kind of place it is, I hope so. Yeaah. Like is it gonna be like a, you know, cause sometimes you're like out in a lawn. Yeaah. But this I think is an indoor like coliseum kind of thing. What's the capacity? I think it's a big one, like 10,000 something, I don't know. Damn. Oh shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I'll have more on that in the following podcast if you're curious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I got some neighbors. Okay. From Ecuador. Ah. And then they're super friendly. We never knew them that well. They're always just like walking by, hey, what's up? What's going on? And then we got invited over for margaritas last weekend. Oh shit! Good margaritas too. I bet. Yep. And the man cave. Quite the man cave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, yeaah. They told us they were going to see Mana. The following week and my wife freaked out. So she was already in tune with Mana. She loves all that music. Okay, gotcha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if y'all got some kind of dumb video idea, give me three margaritas. Done. And we're doing it. Three margaritas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, couldn't you do two and then add one? Sure. 30 minutes later? Yeah, sure could've. Doesn't take you long apparently. No. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. I'm not a big fan of an all night hammock sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I probably told this story, but I was in Panama City Beach, Florida once. Camping. Not far from La Vela, if any, be not that way. And, uh, left my door open. Cause when, when it's closed, even if it's just the mesh net, it's blocking wind. I'm like, it's, it's hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, here's what might have happened. Let's look on the bright side. Maybe, that was the male, and his lady was hidden in the rocks, protecting the eggs, and he's just scoping the area like, gotta keep the danger out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see it, and they are not, I mean, they look dumb when they attack. Yes. They'll get there, they'll put their neck down, they'll just kind of run. You're like, what are you going to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably. Oh yeaah, very impressive. Very impressive. He's the Balto or Togo of geese.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apso never heard of the dodo until the other night. Heard of it? Have you ever heard of the dodo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You hear that Simon? First time in five years. Go through the footage Simon. I say that with confidence because I know he's not organized. So uhm, I assume it's like this. Remember America's Funniest Home Videos? I do. You make a few and then people come out of the woodworks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or do they just say, send us all your raw footage and we cut it? Because all these people can't be, cause they're decent editors. And they, they do have a consistency. Like a little catagga. And they'll put little wiggly lines coming out of the meow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's some great stories, man. Unlikely friendships. This is the dodo. The fox and the donkey or something crazy like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, they make me want to vomit. Yeah. I saw one, I don't even want to tell you too much because I don't want you to look it up because I hated it. But this guy was pranking his wife and he did something to her and she was walking around unaware of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could just tell that she was avoiding noticing what he had done. Forever. To draw the video out. Like you could just see her just looking away from the thing. And there's no way she would have. There's no way. There's no way at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you kinda wanna see her realize she had the thing, like, okay, now I see the gimmick. We're trying to drag this out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, impractical jokers, you like them? I can't think of anything they've done. Maybe I've never seen it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should start pranking more. Man, pranking to me is kind of like, so I used to ride a bike a lot, right? Yeah. And then I started driving and then I didn't ride a bike for years. Yeah. And then I got a friend that, uh, rode a bike a lot and I'm like, oh yeah, I'm gonna get a bike. And now I ride a bike every week. You do? Yeah. Oh. At least twice a week. Okay. And, um, but I haven't pranked anyone in like a decade or so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's something that I love, that I should do a lot, that I quit doing, that I should come back to. Okay. Oh, prank. Oh, wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like one time, I probably told this story years ago on the channel, but uhm, I used to put grease, like I'd cook some ground beef, make some hamburger help or something. And I'd put the grease in a can, so it doesn't go down the sink, right? And I would do this, you know, several weeks until it solidifies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, one day, I'm like, I'm like, this can's full. And so I'm messin' with it, and the whole thing comes out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took like 15 minutes for someone to try it, but it was hilarious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's prank- yeah, let's go back to pranking. That's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, hey, if there's gonna, is there a writer strike now? Yes. Yeah, yeah. So, uh, we just gotta shoot more of those reality shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and they're being real respectful to, uh, Wexham, what is it? I don't know. To the town. Wrexham. Wrexham. Wrexham. Cause this football, their football league is, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe, uh, Abstro's trash can chicken. We start a whole franchise and sell it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Man, I like chicken better than turkey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Versus trash can chickens, like, don't you think you could do a chicken, just maybe a smaller can in chicken?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Cornish Hen is a, is a, that's an animal. That's a bird. It is a bird. It's a hen. Like when I look up Cornish Hen, not one picture of a live one. That's weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I looked up chicken, there'd be a live bird somewhere I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cornish Ann still falls in the chicken category, has white, black, or red feathers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get three Cornish hens. You get two. Listen, I, I feel bad that animals, uhm, are eaten. But. I know. When it comes to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Losing weight like crazy, like unhealthy. But, I've never known an animal that we eat to go extinct. We do maintain them, don't we? Like there's a lot of cows and chickens. But they're like kept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying. I know. I don't wanna eat pandas, but if we ate them, I bet there'd be a lot of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They took some mammoth DNA and mixed it with, I don't know, a sheep or something. And grew, you know how they grow meat in labs? Yeaah. So I think it was like more of a publicity thing. Yeaah. They're like, hey, let's use mammoth. Just so we, cause we can. And that'll get more, you know. Cause we can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about that canned mammoth? Yeah, so they grew a big piece of mammoth meat. Like a big ball. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's trilobite. Trilobite? Trilobites in the frozen section of Harris Tater. It does make you wonder, all these extinct species, what did they taste like? They might be trilobites.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do hope though, before I check out, uhm, I get to see a mammoth. Someone needs to just pull the trigger and do it, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. It's okay, well maybe they'd be, cause yeaah, I mean I've seen people that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last thing I read about dinosaurs is they're saying T-Rex have lips. Lips? Yeah. T-Rex? Big news. Well what constitutes a lip? I guess they can cover their teeth. Like, it's not just, I don't know, because, I mean, do dogs have lips? Exactly, what I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they can make duck face, but lips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's a bad girl. That's Simon's dog. Simon's dog Poppy. And she is attached to Simon. Hugely. Oh, at the hip, it's funny. Won't leave his side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's he going? Is he? He's not coming back, is he? Oh, this is it, huh? It was a good run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've been wanting to learn as many songs as I can. Yeah. So I've never done this before. Thought, okay, I'm going to a concert where I don't know any of the songs or the language really. I mean, I've been studying, but just not enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so it's May. Yeaah. Right? When we're recording this and uh, yep. And summer's coming. And summer's come and go quick. They do. Yes they do. So we need to be figuring out what we're gonna do this summer. Like we gotta get out and do something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. So, I mean, last year we went camping in Raleigh. Before that we went to Raleigh, then we went to like, Cataloochee. Yeah, Cataloochee was awesome. Way deep in the North Carolina mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Raleigh, Raleigh can suck it. I don't like this. It's okay. That's a better campsite though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we'll do some campin'. I don't know if RTX is gonna invite us back, but, if they do, maybe we'll go to Austin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, they keep doing their, look up RTX real quick and see, uh, they always do July 4th, like when all the flights are expensive. Yea, that's too bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. This is a little crazy. But anyway, I'm glad we went last year. We had a great time. Mhm. Agreed. That was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. That's right before our live show. Yeaah. That's not gonna happen. Isn't the nerdcore thing happening right over here? It's right at the end of July. That'd be a crazy July.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's gonna roughly be probably around that amount of time for the new 7 day series too if we think about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where were we at on that? I was gone for two weeks. Well, we were going to talk and start at when you get back. So, I mean, nothing's really new other than what you suggested, which I'm not going to say anything because it was just an idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll figure it out, we'll figure it out. I just want to make sure, I want, I would love for us to be on a, on a cul-de-sac. Our little, our little neighborhood of, you know, our little friends. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, neighbors would be sweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course. You got, you got, you got input? No, uhm, but I was like thinking a little bit, I know he said horde night every night, but what if that starts on the third night or something? Just for a little bit of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know he said Horde Knight every night, but what if that starts on the third night or something? Just for a little bit of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to be really, we gotta figure that out, cause you can't have like one of the items be a workbench. No, no, no, no, no, like he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, in the beginning. And it's not like cheap, especially when you're starting. Can you boil water or no?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than that little look we did. It's uhm, yeaah, it makes the uh, the water and food game real off the bat, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe daytime being an hour and then a night being a half hour. However, hour and a half maybe total.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as we have the, uh, cul-de-sac here, I'm gonna be happy. I like that visual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's using your door. Well, I even brought it up when I uh, cause I did uhm, the first week in 21 for the dumpster, which I don't, it might be out by the time this comes out, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I realized how I had to retrain myself from being the complacency that came from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like from the, the get go when it's just you on your own, the survival, you know, I hadn't done that in a minute. Um, making all those little things. So I kind of relearned. So yeah, I got complacent. I'm, I'm really super good now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simon, when I wake up, I'm gonna step outside, I'm gonna smell the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you're gonna be the dirtiest I can see in your shit eyes. How'd your door get open, Simon?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me too. We might even start this week. Hmm. This week? I don't know. I want to. I need to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cinematics are not as great as they are, it's just that it takes a little bit longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you get right back into like, uhm, how the Rockstar editor works again? Was it kind of fresh? It didn't take long?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I learned it to do the documents video, uhm, and there's no way in hell that it's, I would retain that at this point. It was just that one thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That might be our Thursday recording. Speaking of a forest, uh, you were recently in a forest weren't you Absarov?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So your daughter had a great time? Yea, she had a really good time. That's cool, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That just reminded me, did you guys see, uh, just because it's topical, did you see the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The picture of the giga coaster at Carowinds up in Charlotte.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back hardcore because of this last, um, teenager got shot at a traffic stop that he drove away from and stuff and like, you know, that was just huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't shoot the kid. And not once did I say there shouldn't be. Uhm, I just don't think it should be death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our drive from, uh, did you notice, you know, that Trask Family Farms that they've been building on blue clay? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All rented a yacht. It was like 13 people on this yacht. Oh cool. 160 a piece, but four hours and it was like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome. Like a great, a good sized yacht. So for this, for her friend coming down, she wanted to rent it again and we did it with another group and got Simon and out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it helped. But anyway, it was, uh, that was our kickoff to our July 4th Weasel Hat. Yeah, it was fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The captain that they subcontract, the first time we went out, this was the best way to start the trip. The very first time we did it a couple months ago. And uhm, meeting the captain sitting up by him and he looks at me and he's like, You're like my favorite actor. He had just seen Birdies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's perfect. Four hours is a perfect amount of time. We had great weather. It was, you can't, no complaints there. That sounds great. Shaking our booties. Oh, we should. We should definitely do that. Sounds fun. Oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I told you, I brought this up before, I was, uhm, one day I was like, boomin', uh, Sleepy Hollow, and we were shootin' it out at the inner coastal, just the Carolina Beach, the bridge, on this side, and there's like, some spots with those like, kinda cliffs you see, you know, like, I don't know, they're about eight foot tall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I see what you're talking about. And there was this period scene, it was like a flashback scene in Sleepy Hollow, where some lady was so dramatic, she was about to jump off the cliff, kind of a thing, and the fucking party boat starts coming by. He's whoohoohoo, bumping some fitty sand or something.

[Assistant] How long was the, uh, the demo for? How long could you play it? I think it was six hours. And you got six in, didn't you? I did, I did, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite a few, like, Zelda, like, Breath of the Wild, and, and, like- For sure, even the opening, like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the fact that you can dig in the ground, it's like, that's the game changer in a lot of ways. I think not that everyone's gonna do it or whatever, but it's cool that you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be cool if one of those just automatically put you right behind the enemy facing him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Kaboom! Kinda like a... Smack, smack, smack. Pshuuu. Smack, smack, smack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Needs said. Damn it. Makes me wonder when I saw that, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would you guys call it? It was the skill tree. But it was... Like a web.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a web of bubbles, kinda. I'm wondering how many of those, if not all, they know what they're gonna be already. Or if they just made that web to look... I'm curious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're always fucking things up. They are. The ancestors do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's gotta be an hour or two in there of actual physical activity. You have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forget what they call it, when uhm, like when I first started bartending and stuff like that, and then I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bartend all night and come home and dream about bartending and shit like that. It's gotta carry over. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That crafting thing is cool, like how it's a lot more streamlined when you're making a wall, like it's all within the one wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna see you find a mod that allows you to, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That giant, the big ramp, you know, that huge mega ramp? Yeah. Recreate that thumbnail and everything, but it's in Arc. It'd be great on like some sort of a vehicle that's jumping through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy. It's crazy, bro. It's crazy. So we were talking about how, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, as much as we'd like to jump into it, we can't enshroud it now, but uh, Sunken Land, when is that? Is that like ready? Oh, it's out. It's out. So it's like, or Arc, we just can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new series of something will be Ark or Sunken Land and then week later, Introuted drops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're gonna max out the horde zombies. And that's coming close to, uh, at this point, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You haven't seen it and this doesn't give away. Like we may have lost one or two of us by now. We don't know. You guys don't know. I mean we know. But uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like, yea, most people that know what I do, yea, they don't care. They, uhm, and don't understand it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. And then I got a buddy, uhm, recently, and he's kind of a relatively new friend, dude I was playing in that cornhole league with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, which that's another fun update. That's gaming based, huh? Could update you on that, on the results of that tournament. Please. But uh, he, he was like, he knows roughly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I do again, like we're just saying, and he was like- You make video games. Man, you should- You guys should have me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, you have not watched one video, you have no idea what we're doing, like or how we're doing it, you know? It's so easy to just like, you know, I'll, I'll be in, I'll do it. You should have me. That me on there. Does he play video games?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, most of us switched over to mouse and keyboard on Battlefield 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that quick, I think I might have talked about it on the Patreon podcast, but I'll tell Simon, Simon this for you. Thank you. That cornhole update. That cornhole where I was the substitute for my two buddies, both from the Cleveland area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More so, like, he was the, the feared one, you know? Were they nervous bringing you in? Uh, they didn't know what to expect, but they also didn't, apparently it was like a fun league, not like the super serious league of the two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both of the guys that, it was their team, they're both named Mike, they're both Mikes, uh, Mike Squared. They were both gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were both out of town for work and shit. So it was me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was thinking about you, Simon, but you were out of town too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I brought in my buddy Greg, uhm, and we did alright. We won one of those four matches. You know, Greg's not a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like I play all the time. Right, right, right. But anyway, uhm, then we flash forward to this last week. And my back goes out on Tuesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bent over, not even really bent over, like, use my knees, cause I don't like fucking my back. Just to pull out a hard drive over there at Apsro's computer and I felt and I was like, oh, here we go. And it was out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, all last week, and it started getting better around Saturday, Sunday, I guess. But last week was the, the finals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? And, and it was like the day, the night after my back went out. Right. And uhm. Now you bought a cane that day. One of the guys, yea I bought a cane that day. He looked like he was 90 years old with a cane. Cause I didn't have crutches available at Walmart, just canes, and I needed something. It did help, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we get to the final, like I was texting, uh, the one mic, one of the two mics was out of town for work that weekend, which is why I ever came on. And I was like, man, I don't know, I don't know if I can do this. And Greg, the sub I pulled in the week prior, he was out of town. Uhm, and you would have had to have played in the regular season to be in the finals. So I had to. And I had my cane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was gimpy pants, uhm, looked pathetic out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And actually threw pretty fucking good. So we had to buy the first one because one of the teams didn't show up. Second game, we, they were just on fire. We'd beat them before, but we lost. Right? And then we won five in a row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we had a real close one for the last match and we got second place in the tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, it makes it bad, so, it's, you know, we'll see. I can already tell it's gonna hurt when I get up. But, you know, it's whatever. Yeah, anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just 30 pushups before every shower, that's not gonna do it. That's not gonna do it. That's a good start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I don't do it, but it seems like a no-brainer. I think that's one good thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not that it's uh, practical for anyone to do, but the uhm, apparently that old reset button on your circadian rhythm is going camping for a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. What time are you waking up these days, Niamhs? Mmm, 9, 9.30. Okay. Cause yeaah, we used to be about the same around 11. Yeaah. You and I. And I'm around 9, 9.30 these days too. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five o'clock. Just stop it. We've talked about that at nine. So much, but like they have as well. They being governments and shit like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever it was. I think they did that joke in, uhm, uh, Our Flag Means Death. Oh, really? Oh. To a degree. Is that a movie? What's that? Our Flag Means Death? No, that's that. Tiger with TD, uhm. HBO show. And the second season we just finished and was fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like they're in a soundstage, like a green screen soundstage, I'm pretty sure, with a, with a, I don't know. It's like, yeah, it's interesting. Like when they're out on the boat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know it's not the same thing but it makes me want, it reminds me of how badly I'd like to go see that, the sphere in Vegas. Oh yeaah. That thing looks cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it can project whatever it wants on the outside and the inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they could be entirely different things. You could see it as a big eyeball on the outside and inside you could, there could be a U2 show going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On demand news. I saw the Xbox logo, they must have had some event, that logo looked really cool on the outside when I saw a picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh, I love one, but uhm, also, I just saw a, first one in Wilmington I've seen, but I saw one in Minneapolis Airport last year, but the Rivian, have you ever seen a Rivian?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're pretty good looking trucks. They're beautiful, yeaah. Pick up truck, yeaah. Yeaah, the guy started it up and the way the lights went on the front, I was like, ooooh, that's just sexy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a pain in the butt if you have to. I think I have to, uh, for, uh, because my tire guys, they didn't fucking hook their sensors back up right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, when they changed out my tires recently. So, I'm gonna have to probably go for that, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The good thing is like, the amount of service that you have to have on a Tesla is minimal. Yes. So, so many fewer moving parts and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I pay, yeah, about 12 to 15 dollars, depending on how much. Oh, now. For a full. Mmhm, but I have been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's got, each charge station has different kind of pricing. Really? Yeah, so it's like based on, uh, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And look, if you are watching the video for this podcast, because it's animated. So if you're watching, there's faces with talking? There's actually, you guys don't know the images, you haven't seen them yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? I should be able to easily put that bit as Morgan Freeman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I originally wanted to use the one that's the side view with the mouth open, and I wanna see, and I'm gonna, you'll see it here, I'll make sure I use that one now. Talk a little bit, Abster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and he's only, he's only ever really done like a minute or so at a time where that's why I was like, in my head I'm going, ah, we'll do the whole thing, but we, we might do, you know, five minutes, whatever it is, depending on how long it takes, cause I gotta do it on that particular computer.
