00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: It's really really wet. I love the fact that I

71
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: can look at my like little weather thing on my

72
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: desktop and it has like rain coming, and that's what

73
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: it says right now. But the other day it was

74
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: like rain, sunshine, rain, sunshine, rain, on and off. It

75
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,039

76
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: like never mind, forget all the time. Like that's just

77
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: the ways. That's amazing. That's my brain sounds about right,

78
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: And I mean, hopefully it doesn't inhibit your ability to

79
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: celebrate Fourth of July this week? Here your favorite all

80
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: of it. You know what's funny you say that, but like, actually,

81
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: I think we might have some America in neighbors because

82
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: Fourth of July we moved into this house like two

83
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: years ago. My first Fourth of July. I never noticed

84
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: it's coming, obviously because it's not celebrated here, but we

85
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: have people setting off fireworks, and I was like, wow,

86
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: four and then I looked at the date and I

87
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: was like, I think we do actually have some American neighbors.

88
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: It's also illegal to set off fireworks here, but they

89
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: do it anyway. That was my next That was my

90
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: next question. Yeah, you need to have a license. Nobody

91
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: does apparently need nobody cares either, so it's still happen. Yeah,

92
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: still in the United States, where which is so dry

93
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: that a single misplaced firework can just set the whole

94
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: country on fire. But we got we still got to

95
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: do it, you know, I still got to do it.

96
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: That's the way it is. Just blow shut up kids

97
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of the street in Los Angeles, California,

98
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: just blowing things up, setting off car alarms. It's great.

99
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: The one time I experimented with big fireworks was when

100
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: I lived in Missouri. I was picking my friend up

101
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: at the Kansas City Report driving back, and I had

102
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: like turned off part of my brain that notices these

103
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: things because I was living in the middle of Missouri

104
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: and was just like, yeah, that's Missouri. But my friend

105
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, we've passed like forty warehouses that all

106
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: advertise like having the biggest, cheapest, best fireworks. Should we

107
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: like do something with that? And so we got a

108
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: bunch of fireworks, set them off in a park in

109
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, will very drunk, and it

110
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: was one of the most fun things I've ever done

111
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: in my life. So I will, like our younger listeners,

112
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: don't just remove this from your brain. But like I

113
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: had always looked down upon the fireworks culture, and then

114
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: I did it, and I was like, oh right, because

115
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: you're not things up and it's awesome. Exactly. Get to

116
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: make your own little bit as learnment film. All right, Psyche,

117
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: We're going to get to know you a little bit

118
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners

119
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: a couple of the things we're talking about today. We're

120
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: gonna talk about something that you're probably not familiar with, Psyche,

121
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: but that I probably need to get familiar with. And

122
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: DJ Daniel as well Water wars. They're not not like

123
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: a fun squirt gun themed birthday party, but like actual

124
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: wars over water are coming to the suburbs of Arizona,

125
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: and I think the rest of the country will soon follow.

126
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about that way that this is

127
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: all very patriotic and Fourth of July themed, We're gonna

128
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: talk about that way the country is getting worse. We're

129
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the Republicans getting Google's permission to spam

130
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: everyone just like gives ruin your inbox. So that's what

131
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: one way the country is getting worse. And we're also

132
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna talk about some pop culture. We're gonna get to

133
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: like maybe half of that. I don't know, it's a

134
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: silly it's gonna be a silly episode because skip to

135
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: the pop culture part we'll find yeah, yeah, we might

136
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: just get directly to the pop culture thing. I want

137
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: to talk about our our our Top Gun Maverick by

138
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: the two most notable movies I've seen so far this

139
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: year that are are are probably my favorite movie I've

140
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: seen so far this year. Top Gun Maverick America's favorite

141
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: movie that they've seen so far this year. So I

142
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: just want to talk about those all of that plenty more.

143
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: But first, Psyche, we do like to ask our guest,

144
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Okay, I have Okay,

145
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: do you want to know the most recent or do

146
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: you want to know the most telling about me as

147
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: a person. They're both kind of telling about me as

148
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: a person, and I'll probably tell you both. All right,

149
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: let's do it. Okay, So my most recent that I

150
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: think is kind of interesting. I googled what is the metaverse?

151
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Because I feel like I know what the metaverse is?

152
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: But then I kind of felt like it almost feels

153
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: like it's just a synonym for cyberspace, and I thought

154
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: that can't be all there is to it. There's got

155
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: to be more to it. And then I googled and

156
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: I did a lot of extensive research, and really it

157
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: comes down to that kind of is there is to it?

158
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: And I was a bit disappointed, and I'm like, yeah,

159
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: do I still kind of just not get it or

160
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: like what's going on there? Yeah? I think you're right

161
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: about that. That's all it is. We've had these spaces.

162
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: We've had these spaces for decades, but no, it's like

163
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: a space where you can exist with an avatar and

164
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: like be yourself, but like with a costume on it,

165
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: like second second life, play second life, where like I

166
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: literally remember, I'm so sorry this is kind of inappropriate,

167
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: but I remember the most like formative memory I have

168
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: a second life was this random person who clearly had

169
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: too much time and too much money came up to

170
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: me and gave me a helicopter and a gun, and

171
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: the health cooper was super cool. The gun fired let's

172
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: just say, weird representations of Genitalia out of it, so,

173
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: which is a very second life thing to happen, right,

174
00:09:54,040 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, much less acceptable in first life people helicopters

175
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: and guns that fired dicks. Yeah, that pretty much literally

176
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: I I, and I, of course, being I was quite innocent.

177
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: I hadn't really spent I spent some time on the internet,

178
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: but like not a ton of time on the internet.

179
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: The first thing I did with the gun was I

180
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: fired it and it just started firing out this stream

181
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: of dicks, and I was just like, I don't know

182
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: what to do with it. So I feel like I

183
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: I googled it. The reason I actually googled it was

184
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: because I'd had multiple companies had approached me and had

185
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: clearly they've learned that the metaverse has a bit of

186
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: a bad reputation, and they were approaching me about these

187
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: interesting opportunities and they were not being very specific about

188
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: what it was, and then halfway through the email chain

189
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: they would kind of produce that by the way, it's

190
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: on the metaverse, and I'd be like, oh, no, okay, Google,

191
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: because like what's going on here? So that was that. Yeah.

192
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: I feel like there's always when you when you read

193
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: companies like pr like and like all the stuff they're

194
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: talking about, like the official strategy and like what we're

195
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: doing and uh, what our company's footprint is this coming year,

196
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: and the media landscape they love. They're excited about the metaverse.

197
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I haven't met a single person who's like,

198
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: actually it's pretty cool. It's like better than you might think, Like,

199
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: not a single one. I've met people who will ride

200
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: for literally anything, who are like, actually Dave Matthews bands

201
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: like secretly one of the best bands, but they will

202
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: not ride for the I can't find the person who

203
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: rides for the metaverse. Zeit gang. If you are out there,

204
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: if somebody is like, you know, like people were too

205
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: hard on the metaverse, let us know. But I do

206
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: think it just completely and unequivocally sucks, and it's just

207
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg is frozen at the peak of his success

208
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: and fame and is like wait a second, like he's

209
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: still interested and impressed by things that would have been

210
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: more pressive to people like in the year two thousand eight. Yeah,

211
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm truly I'm really open minded. Like if someone can

212
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: come up with a really great use case for it

213
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: or like some reason I should care. I am so there.

214
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with that. I will completely revise my opinion.

215
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: But no one has been able to do that so far.

216
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: So I'm just sitting here going right. And I feel

217
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: like they wouldn't even let somebody hand you a helicopter

218
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: and a gun fires dicks, Like it sounds like you

219
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: were a child at the time and it was like

220
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: a grown up who did that. It was a middle teenager,

221
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: so still a child. Maybe they shouldn't be allowed to

222
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: probably should think So I'm not going to complain about that.

223
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: Maybe I should. Should I tell you my second one? Yes? Yes, So.

224
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: I do a lot of writing outside of like streaming

225
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: and gaming and stuff, and one of the probably vast

226
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: descriptions of me as a human being and probably why

227
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm definitely on a list somewhere. I frequently google weird

228
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: stuff because I'm writing something. And one thing I googled

229
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: once and my partner yelled, m He's like, you can't

230
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: just search for things like that? Was I'm any stab wounds?

231
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: Does it take to kill a person? Like? Obviously I

232
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: don't want to know for me, but like, I mean,

233
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: is it a case of it like it doesn't matter

234
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: if you get like fifty three in the foot, is

235
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: that going to kill you? Or does it have to

236
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: be in somewhere vital? You know, I need to know

237
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: these things for writing purposes. It's not like a very

238
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: video game logic to the human. It's like fifty three

239
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: strikes doesn't matter where I hit them. I may play

240
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: too many video games. Yeah, right, you get it. I

241
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: just I wish we could like cut to the last

242
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: person who googled that and they're just like standing there

243
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: with a bloody knife in their hand, just being like hmmmmm,

244
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: they're not wait where I saw? I'm at twenty three

245
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: right now? I need amid? Yeah? All right, what is

246
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? All right, look we're coming

247
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: to well we're already at the end of Pride Months,

248
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: so speaking, is a bisexual person Rainbow capitalism. Pride Months

249
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: just ended, and literally you could see from the thirtieth

250
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: of June into the first of July, literally in real

251
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: time watching corporations changing their like profile pictures back to

252
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: their like standard picture instead of it being like their

253
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: Pride picture or whatever, and that just I don't know,

254
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: it feels kind of like you're expected, as a queer

255
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: person to just give them a high five for like

256
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: a gold star or something and let them just off

257
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: with not caring about queer people the rest of the year,

258
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: and that's nonsense. Japer overrated really annoys me. Do they

259
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: have like an interestition in between where they're like, enough

260
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: of that ship and go back. So weird because I actually, okay,

261
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: not to give corporations too much credit, but because like

262
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: I hate doing that. But at the same time, I

263
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: did see a really good example where Intel, for anyone

264
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: who doesn't know, tech company known very well for their processors,

265
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: and also there was another company I've forgotten who it was,

266
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: but um they made the Intel made a tweet where

267
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: they basically said, we don't like at the beginning of

268
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: Pride Month, we don't need to change our profile picture

269
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: because we've had a Pride profile picture all year round.

270
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: We don't see the point in changing it just just

271
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: for June, which I thought was quite nice, and like

272
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: Xbox has their Pride controllers and they were actually like

273
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: super vocally arguing with people in their comments on Twitter

274
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: about like people who are saying, well, nobody wants to

275
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: see this, and they were like, yeah, nobody wants your

276
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: opinion in it. You still felt the need to express it,

277
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: So like, I like that they're doing that. Again. Don't

278
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: want to give corporations too much credit because obviously it's

279
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: still for money, but I still think that's pretty cool

280
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: and it's nice seeing things like that. But you you

281
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: see the difference where you just watched them ticking off,

282
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: like everyone's changing back to normal. It's just wild. I

283
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: think there's definitely kinds of engagement, like you're saying, this

284
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: engagement that definitely positively supports the message because there's you know,

285
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: the pure rainbow capitalism. It's just like buy our shirt

286
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: because we put a rainbow on it. But then there's

287
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: the let's use this as an opportunity to spread good information,

288
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: to promote you know, creators and promote you know, people

289
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: who are company sponsors that deserve an extra light. There's

290
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: there are ways to go about it that despite it

291
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: being in the umbrella of Rainbow capitalism, at least you know,

292
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: participates in the support of the history of the month

293
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: and like why it is happening and why it's important

294
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: versus just you know, kind of what you're saying so

295
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: that intels them that the Xbox is doing that. I

296
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: also saw Bungee doing something similar to the creators of Destiny. Yeah,

297
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: Bungee like just really going in on being like Destiny

298
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: and Bungee Games are for everybody. People like we don't

299
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: need this, and they're like, we don't need you. Is

300
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: kind of the that's that's that's the way them being

301
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: a lot more active and also having some of these

302
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: companies that actually go out of their way outside of

303
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: June two actively promote people that are LGBT here I

304
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: Plus for examp Ball or like outside Black History Month,

305
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: promoting black content creators and people that they work with,

306
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: and not making it be a boy like this person

307
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: is a minority. It's more this person does cool ship

308
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: and we don't get to see it enough and that's

309
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: really really cool. So there are companies doing well, and

310
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: then there are companies that are just not making any

311
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: effort whatsoever. They've got like a scheduled thing to change

312
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: their profile picture and a scheduled thing to turn it

313
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: back off against What is something you think is underrated?

314
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna probably tell you too much about myself, but

315
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: I think going to lunch or dinner solo, I think

316
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: it's super underrated. I need alone time to recharge. And

317
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: I think there's this really weird stigma about like not

318
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: going places on your own. And when I when I

319
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: worked in the games industry, I used to be like

320
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: my brain was constantly active, and having even just like

321
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: a forty five minute break where I could go and

322
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: treat myself to something nice to eat and just spend

323
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: time with myself was really really powerful. And I think

324
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: that goes for things like going to the movies. But self,

325
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: everyone I did, I'm like, I think it's great, and

326
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: I think, you know, well, if I want to go

327
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: see a movie and my partner doesn't want to go

328
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: on whatever, like I'll goo by myself, I think it's great. Yeah, definitely,

329
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: I've like recently realized, like I need to start scheduling

330
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: because I'm the same. I don't know is there like

331
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: official psychological literature on the like introverts need to be

332
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: alone to recharge, because it definitely feels true for me,

333
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: but it feels that way. Yeah, I don't know if

334
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: there's anything actually official or if because I know a

335
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: lot of the resources that are related to like introvert

336
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: versus extrovert or kind of problem. Right, Yeah, they're all

337
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: like from some company that created it to be like

338
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: better capital drunk. But yeah, I I have realized that,

339
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: like I need to make plans. Like I had a

340
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: thing where we like went with another family on like

341
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: a road trip for a weekend, and I was like

342
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: never alone for the whole weekend. And then I came

343
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 1: back and like the whole week I was just like

344
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: dead and had no energy. And so now I'm like realizing,

345
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: like I need to like actually not just be like

346
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: notice it, but to actually like plan around it and

347
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: like have like you know, set some alone time aside,

348
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: even if it's just like an afternoon or whatever. Yeah. Yeah,

349
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: full support on that one. And also on a very

350
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: like not brain helpful but just kind of scheduling helpful

351
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: way easier to get into restaurants. Let me just say,

352
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: you want to if you want to go to if

353
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: you want to go to a busy place, go by yourself. Yeah,

354
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: it's incredible. You want to sit at the bar of

355
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: the sushi place. Easy, new roman spot, get that loop,

356
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: get that single spot. It's great, the sushi spot. I'm

357
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: thinking they're gonna want to talk to me. I'm like,

358
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: I wanna do you have anything like back by the

359
00:19:53,359 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: bathroom facing the wall. All right, let's take a quick break,

360
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We'll talk about some serious stuff and

361
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: then I get to some pop culture stuff and we're

362
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: back and yeah, so there's a New Yorker article. I

363
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: have to talk about it. Every time I read a

364
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: New Yorker article, I I just it gives me a

365
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: sense of pride that is built into me from when

366
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: I was much younger. And I've noticed that I just

367
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: do this every time. I'm like, oh, well, read that

368
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: New Yorker article. Is better be a story on the daily.

369
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: But anyways, it was a compelling article that you know,

370
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: we've talked about the crumbling water supply in the United States,

371
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: how much it comes from the Colorado River. Uh, in

372
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: the Southwestern United States, and there was an article like

373
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: I have, you know, tried to imagine what that's gonna

374
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: look like in my own you know world and neighborhood.

375
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: And this article does a really good job of kind

376
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: of telling us it's a you know, neighborhood in Scottsdale, Arizona,

377
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: where people like they basically like can't get water they're

378
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: the normal way. So people either have water delivered on

379
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: a truck monthly if they can afford it. Um, some

380
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: have spent tens of thousands of dollars drilling wells. And

381
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: the article actually opens with this person talking about how

382
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: their neighbor just got done putting a nine hundred and

383
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: sixty ft dry hole in like, which means they drilled

384
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: nine and sixty feet into the ground and there was

385
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: just like no water down there. But yeah, and then

386
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, so then some people like organized like water consortium,

387
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: and then everybody like people started with like criticizing them.

388
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: It's mostly looks like you know, sniping on Facebook and

389
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But the details that jumped out to

390
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: me are just, first of all, it's not changing, Like

391
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: after all the discussions that this writer had with like

392
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: this planned community of people and like how they already

393
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: have way too many people in this area. Like they

394
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: were driving down the communities mostly unpaved roads and like

395
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: saw dozens of new houses under construction. Like people are

396
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: just you know, we're we're just we're gonna keep driving

397
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: in the same direction until the car we're in is

398
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: engulfed in flames at the bottom of the ravine we

399
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: just drove off of. Like that's just the American way.

400
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: There will be fireworks in the trunk, so it'll look

401
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: cool as hell when it happens. But and sick and

402
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: then there's just like a lot of faith in the

403
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: old way of doing things and like that, well, the

404
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: old bones of the system is is going to work

405
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: out for us. There's still people like putting in like

406
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: offers on all these houses that are being built, and

407
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: they're like, well they're not going to let a community

408
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: and like one of the most wealthy towns in Arizona

409
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: like go without water. It's like, well, there's not gonna

410
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: be water for you guys, What the funk are you

411
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: talking about. It also just feel like a good metaphor

412
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: for like a couple of the like we're we're facing

413
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: a similar thing in a couple of important places, like

414
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: a broken system that is only getting more broken, but

415
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: we're like too afraid to abandon, like the Democratic Party.

416
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm like just digging deeper and deeper

417
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: into the like completely dry sand, searching for the energy

418
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: that used to be there, and coming up dry. It

419
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: just felt like this is a story about right now

420
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: in a community in Arizona, but it's a story about

421
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: kind of everything in America right now. This reminds me

422
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: so deeply of like the idea of procrastination and that,

423
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: like you know, I think we convince ourselves sometimes that

424
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: like getting the task started as harder than the actual

425
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: task itself, And unfortunately, the longer we wait on stuff

426
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: like this, the bar for that task just gets higher,

427
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: and the task itself does get harder. And it's a

428
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: just needing to get started kind of thing that seems

429
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: so difficult for like you said, a German her enterremrinity

430
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: to really get going, I mean, like any politics in

431
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: this country. But like it's it's just um, these kinds

432
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: of things, Like you said, it's not going to change.

433
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: The old way is not going to come back, And

434
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: I think the sooner that people start to understand and

435
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: accept that we could get over that initial procrastination hurdle

436
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: and actually maybe start to make progress because if we

437
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: just keep going this way, like you said, fireworks, revene explosions, fireworks. Yeah,

438
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: how's ah, how how does it look from northern Ireland?

439
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: So it's weird. I I feel like I can see

440
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: parallels in some ways, not granted, not with something like

441
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: water as an example. Whenever, this is so weird. But

442
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: the only time I've ever experienced like trouble having actual

443
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: water was in two ten. We had a really really

444
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: bad snowstorm. And like Ireland doesn't tend to get like

445
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: particularly extreme weather, but we had really like a blizzard.

446
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: My roof like was leaking everything. We had people running

447
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: their water twenty seven to try and stop the pipes

448
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: from freezing, which obviously is a problem. And in Ireland,

449
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: a place that rains literally all the time, we started

450
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: to run out of water and our water supplies were

451
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: really like dwindling super super fast. So we had water

452
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: rationing and we had trucks coming in delivering water. We

453
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: had I lived in a village at the time, and

454
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: a truck came in delivered water and people could go

455
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: down and collect water at that because it was just

456
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: in the center of the village. And I still remember

457
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: my friend at the time who lived like in the

458
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: countryside having to get water from like a stream, and

459
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: I was just like, what is happening? Like this country

460
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: it rains all the time and then suddenly there's a

461
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: snowstorm and now we have no water. What is going on?

462
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: Because obviously that's not how it works, and infrastructure is

463
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: actually like not built for X then it can't provide

464
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to provide anymore. So from from my perspective,

465
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: I see this and I think I do think it's wild.

466
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: But you talk about how um, the old ways aren't

467
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: working anymore and that you kind of need like get

468
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: past that before you can start moving forward. And that's

469
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: definitely something that like I can see a kind of

470
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: mirror image of that in Northern Ireland in our politics,

471
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: because we have like a I'm not going to get

472
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: into it in depth, but there's we have a very

473
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: interesting there's many many parties in Northern Ireland, but there

474
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: are two in particular who just cannot work together because

475
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: they have a power share government. They can't work together,

476
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: so they just don't get anything done, which means that

477
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: there's tons of things happening, like bits of things are

478
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: falling apart, and like at the moment we can there's

479
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: some supplies we cannot get because of various like customs,

480
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: checks and stuff, and they just can't get together to

481
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: agree on something so that we can move forward and

482
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: get it done. Yeah. The thing I feel like I've

483
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: seen and I've I've read about in situations like the

484
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: snowstorm you're mentioning, is that when people are put into

485
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: those crisis situations, like they surprised themselves and like the

486
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: community around them surprises them with like how well people

487
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: come together and just like fill the whole and do

488
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: the thing that needs to get done so that people

489
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: have water. And that's that's something that like, I I

490
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: guess I I didn't have kind of associated with this

491
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: story in my mind, but I do think like that

492
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: is once everybody's willing to just be like all right,

493
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: well that's dead, Like now it's on us, like what

494
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: do we what do we do now? I think we're

495
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: going to surprise ourselves with like the creativity that we're

496
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: able to come up with. But I do think people

497
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: do surprise you in a crisis situation for sure. Yeah.

498
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's as hopeless as sometimes it

499
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: feels like. It. Just we eventually are going to come

500
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: to the point where it's like, well that is no

501
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: longer there, right, like that water, water infrastructure or Democratic

502
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: Party no longer works, no longer can work. What what

503
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: do we do now? Yeah, well, let's talk about another

504
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: thing that American capitalism is ruined, and that is email.

505
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: So it's just it's basically like, I don't know, I

506
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: want to ask the question, like what can't capitalism ruin?

507
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: Is there anything that is not going to be ruined

508
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: by capitalism? Nothing? Like? So basically the latest development is

509
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,719
Speaker 1: that like Google was banning, was like, you know, identifying

510
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: political ads and sending them them who spam filters and

511
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: Republican by the name of Dr Ronnie Johnson, who you

512
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: might remember. I think that's Ronnie Jackson. Jackson, he might

513
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: remember the guy who gave everybody drugs in the White House,

514
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: Like was the was the dealer for like I think

515
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: both the Obama White House end and the Trump White

516
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: House and uh Dr Field did, Yeah, he was Dr

517
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: Field Good that was his nickname. And then he I

518
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: think he got drunk and wrecked a government vehicle at

519
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: a secret service going away party. But like Trump was like,

520
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: we want him to head the v A, I think,

521
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, wait, why what do you mean that that? Guys, like,

522
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: basically you are a drug dealer? Why would why would

523
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: he had the v A. He doesn't have any sort

524
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: of like mass administrative experience. And then he got drunk.

525
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: I think, like just part of him was like, oh man,

526
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm and wearing my head. I better do what old

527
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: Dr Ronnie Jacks does when he's in over his head

528
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: and get drunk and wreck a government vehicle. And so

529
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: that that was the end of all that. So he

530
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: was relegated to taking a job as a U. S

531
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: congressman and got elected in made headlines for claiming that

532
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: the Amicron variant was a conspiracy concocted by the Democrats.

533
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: And he was also noticing that his emails that he

534
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: kept sending out to the people he was trying to

535
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: get to give him money, we're getting spent sent to spam.

536
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: And so he went on a rant about how Google's

537
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: Gmail was actively suppressing Republican emails and sending them to

538
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: the spam folder. Which he claimed was a form of

539
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: election interference, and like a new North Carolina State University

540
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: study actually did find Republican emails were more likely to

541
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: go to spam folters in Gmail than other services like Outlook.

542
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: But it's less a conspiracy and more that Republicans send

543
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: a lot of bad spam, like which which was known

544
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: like just Trump's campaign has sent out emails like mislead

545
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: using misleading subject lines that read as a message from

546
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: friends or family, and like subject lines that appear to

547
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: be an email bounce back notification, like just all the

548
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: like phishing tactics. Just go hard, as hard as you

549
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: can to get as much money from these people as

550
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: you can. But the Democrats do this ship too, Like

551
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: there was a I was just gonna say, yeah, the

552
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: Democrats just sent out a final notice made Democrat membership pending,

553
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: made Democratic membership pending, Like well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

554
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't remember signing up in the first place. You

555
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: have seventeen missed messages to renew your Democratic membership, bro,

556
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: this is your final notice to renew your membership before

557
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: tonight's critical, critical end of month deadline. That is from

558
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. Yeah, it sucks. But anyways, they sued

559
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: Google to be like, you're doing bad stuff and Google

560
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: is like, all right, I don't know whatever, fine we

561
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: we uh. So basically now they can apply for it's

562
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: a bill that seeks to make it illegal for email

563
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: service providers to automatically put campaign messages into the spam

564
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: folder pilot program for political parties to bypass bypass spam

565
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: detection systems. So yeah, it's just like, because they are powerful,

566
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: the Republican Party is able to reach out to Google

567
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: and get them to let let let them like ruin

568
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: your inbox, you know? On this this this really feels

569
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: like kind of a like a weighing of a weighing

570
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: of priorities thing for Google here, because I know we've

571
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: all seen those like Senate hearings or whatever where they're

572
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: basically grilling is it is it Sundar Pacha, who's the

573
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: CEO of Google, basically grilling him on So it does

574
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: my phone know where I am? Right? If I go

575
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: ship on the other side, is it gonna know that

576
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm sitting with with my with there are friends on

577
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: the left over here, And he's like, you you have

578
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: to turn on location services, Like answer the question and

579
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: it feels like this, this whole like spam thing. I

580
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: don't think they necessarily or Google necessarily sees it as

581
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: a problem like what you're saying. They're just like, yeah, fine, whatever,

582
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: just send your damn emails. It doesn't matter because you know,

583
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: it all just mixes in with every other email that

584
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: people are getting. Like I I every day, I feel

585
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: like I'm unsubscribing to list I didn't even know that

586
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: I was on. And then three days later I'm getting

587
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: another email from that same thing, and it's like, well,

588
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: you needed to allow ten days for that unsubscription to

589
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: go through, so we'll keep sending you emails for the

590
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: next ten days. And it's like it just keeps piling

591
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: onto the point where it's like I have like two

592
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: or three emails that I need to check per day basically,

593
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean like there's there's more. This is personally email

594
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: work emails are different, but there's like three actual personal

595
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: emails that I need to check a day maximum, out

596
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: of the maybe thirty or forty that I get. And

597
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: it's just it just it does not feel like a

598
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: problem too. Maybe to our our email providers, Yeah, they

599
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: don't feel like because we're not their constituent, the corporations

600
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: of their constituent. They're there to keep things moving smoothly.

601
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's it's just bad. I feel like it's

602
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: just interesting to think about, like all the technologies that

603
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: capitalism has ruined. Like email was useful and a great

604
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: idea for a few years and then it got flooded

605
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: with spam, and like it's just like an arms race

606
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: between like marketers and the technology companies to like, you know,

607
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: keep it from making their product unusual unusable. But then

608
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: the big technology companies eventually get worn down where they get,

609
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, so successful that they have friends in high places,

610
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, I were I used to work for a

611
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: website that, like may wrote articles list articles that were

612
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: full of content and we're not like did not have

613
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: ads that were like following you around and tracking which

614
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: direction or eyeball was looking. And now like anyway, it's

615
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: to the point that like when I read articles, not

616
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: on just like random websites, but on like news articles,

617
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: it's like they have the most deceptive ads that are

618
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: like there to trick you into clicking on them at

619
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: all costs, like even at the cost of continuing to

620
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: read the article you were there to read like it's

621
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: just it's all broken, and it's yeah, it's all it

622
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 1: just is the evolution of all technologies that seems like, yeah, definitely.

623
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't know. I mentioned this on

624
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: my stream the other day because I I feel maybe

625
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 1: I'm just really cynical, but I feel like social media

626
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: as a whole has changed so very very much from

627
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: like when it first started. I feel like I don't

628
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: really understand. And I don't think it's just because I'm

629
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: getting older, because I feel like that's the immediate like

630
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: jump too, is that oh yeah, as you as you

631
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: get older, social media makes less sense. But like, I've

632
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: been on social media since its inception and I just

633
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: feel like, no, I like, I don't understand Instagram anymore.

634
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't know what it wants for me.

635
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't like I don't know what to put. I'm

636
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: constantly plagued with ads, and it's half the time it's

637
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: stuff that's like creepily relevant to me, and then the

638
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: other half it's like, I don't even know why you

639
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: think I would want to see this, so I don't.

640
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: I don't really feel like I understand how to engage

641
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: with it, it's not the same as it was before,

642
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. That's what the best and brightest

643
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: minds of the past twenty years have been working on

644
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: is making making Twitter and well, I feel like Twitter

645
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: like is the thing that has saved it is that

646
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: they suck at marketing and like the ads aren't like

647
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: ever relevant and so they're easy to skip. But like Instagram,

648
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, the best and brightest minds, instead of like

649
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: building our infrastructure, rebuilding or fixing US infrastructure or infrastructure

650
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: around the country, they go into marketing work for these

651
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: massive you know, technology companies and find ways to market

652
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: like that's that is the big evolution of the past

653
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: twenty years is like marketing has gotten way better for brands,

654
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: not for you. It has taken away our free will,

655
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: but that minor pesky thing, good old free will. I

656
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: also feel like we're kind of in an arms race

657
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: of efficiency in that like email used to be good

658
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: because it was quick and it was like I can

659
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: send you a letter over the internet. But nowadays it's

660
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: like you're competing with slack, with discord with text messages

661
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: about like getting messages to people, and so there's this

662
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: like need to make your email so urgent. It's like

663
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: you're saying, it's like you have to sign up now urgent,

664
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: Mr blah blah blah blah blah. So it's like email

665
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,479
Speaker 1: is quickly losing relevance at all, and it's like these

666
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: kinds of I mean, I guess it's it's interesting to see.

667
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say, you know, I'm I'm typing

668
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: stop into my phone so often these days from whatever

669
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: political text messaging that I'm getting being like, hey, this

670
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: is Nancy Pelosi and we really need to talk and

671
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: just like stop. But it's it's like as they look

672
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: for new venues to kind of like grab your attention

673
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 1: in this kind of like market of instantaneous interaction, it's

674
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: like emails really phasing out. And so I think the

675
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: spam thing is almost kind of in that last desperate

676
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: attempt to hold onto this kind of archaic technology. Yeah,

677
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: and and maybe yeah, just like the last think that's

678
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: probably also what's happening is Google is like, well, nobody

679
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: fucking use a Gmail anymore. Sure, whatever, We're we're working

680
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: on a new technology where you know, in two years,

681
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: will be recording this podcast over zoom and Nancy Pelosi

682
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: will join and started join the chat. We see we

683
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: have a really really great thing in Northern Ireland. I'm

684
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: not even like I realize again I signed so cynical,

685
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: But in Northern Ireland we're so behind. Like businesses are behind.

686
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: Politics is behind. We don't use email here like we

687
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: obviously we use email for like online communication, but I

688
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 1: mean like our political parties don't use email. They don't

689
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: use social media, they don't have a website. Half the time,

690
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: they're really behind. It's so weird, Like I it's something

691
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: as simple as like having a business that you want,

692
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: like my hairdresser or my tattoo artists. I want to

693
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 1: book something and they take all of their bookings through Facebook,

694
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't have a Facebook anymore. Got

695
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: rid of it a long time ago. Like can I

696
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: call you or email you or something? Do you have

697
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: a website with a contact like not? No businesses here

698
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: have that. And like political parties, I still get just

699
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: leaflets through my mailbox. I don't get a digital I

700
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: still get, yeah, get leaflets, but they also yeah, I

701
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: just think they don't know email exists. Trying to presental

702
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: I swear I know that that's like it goes against

703
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm always arguing with people that yes,

704
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: in fact, in northern and we do have the internet

705
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: and electricity and cars, because some people seem to think

706
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 1: we don't. But like at the same time, businesses and like,

707
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: as far as the government is concerned, it's really like

708
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: stuck in the past. I don't know why. It's bizarre.

709
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: It sounds like you might be leap frogging certain technologies,

710
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: like maybe we don't have email, but then it's like,

711
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: but we have the next thing after TikTok. Already we

712
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: had cell phones that we call the mobiles, but like

713
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: we had SMS messaging before the US did, like whenever,

714
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: which is really weird because you guys had like pages, right,

715
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: we had pagers, and we didn't have right, we've had

716
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: we've had some stuff, so we didn't have pages or

717
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: anything like that, but we had SMS messaging like really

718
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: really super early on. And I still remember when I

719
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: met like my online friends in the US and I'd

720
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: be like, because I used live journal or whatever, and

721
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: I'd be talking to them and they didn't have SMS

722
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: messaging or that they knew of it because it was

723
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: something that existed, but like it was quite expensive, so

724
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: they just didn't have it. They used their pager instead

725
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: or whatever. And I always thought, why is it that,

726
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: like Northern Ireland was ahead of something technologically speaking, yet

727
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: we still can't use email, Like what is that they

728
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: we're definitely doing the thing, but well, okay, we'll see

729
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: what the next technology is that pops up. You could

730
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: be like, actually, no, I'm kind of glad that we

731
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: skipped email from whatever. That may be. Right, all right,

732
00:41:49,960 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and

733
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: we're back. And we had the option between you know,

734
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: a third straight story about just the way that America

735
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: is devolving and falling apart, or we could just move

736
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: over to the fact that it's the midpoint of the year,

737
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: which means that we get a bunch of year in

738
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: Culture in Review lists coming out best movies of the

739
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 1: year so far. So we're gonna do a little year

740
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: in Culture in Review and review years so far in

741
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: culture in Review in Review. I love how we've added

742
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: that to the list of like, okay, it's not just

743
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: the best films of two it's the best films of

744
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: the first six months. We gotta have it, gotta I'm

745
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: with it. Hey, I support it. I added a whole

746
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: section about video games of this, so I'm gonna yeah.

747
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's so the main thing, Like I was,

748
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: I I just feel woefully behind on TV. I am

749
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: more of a movie bitch. I just think it's more efficient.

750
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: You get the whole thing in a single go. So,

751
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: and I've been really enjoying a couple of movies. I'll

752
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: talk about our are Are maybe later if we have time.

753
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 1: Nothing but good things. So the TV show, the streaming

754
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: shows list, Like, the only thing I've really watched so

755
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: far is severalths which have y all watched that I haven't.

756
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: I've heard really really good things about it, but I

757
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet. So enjoyable. The I I watched

758
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: like The Staircase. It had a strong start. I had

759
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: seen the documentary. I fell off for you know, no

760
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: good reason after like three or four episodes. I just

761
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: I was basically in it for the part where Colin

762
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: Firth eats Tony Collette's ass, And once that happened, I

763
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: was like, all right, I get it is Staircase, the

764
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: one about the opioid epidemic? Or am I remembering wrong? No? No, no,

765
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: this is so there's a great documentary called The Staircase,

766
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: and it is this French filmmaker goes and covers the

767
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: story of this local politician novelist who is accused of

768
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: murdering his wife. His wife's death is just very, very

769
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: strange and confounding. She has found at the bottom of

770
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: a staircase. Blood is all over the place, but she

771
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: her skull is not fractured the way it would be

772
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: if somebody like beats someone to death. And but he's there,

773
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: you know, he says, he comes in finds her after

774
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: just like sitting in the backyard for a little while.

775
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: It's very suspicious. He is one of the strangest humans

776
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: ever captured on film. The husband just like all sorts

777
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: of weird ticks. I was like, why would you ever

778
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: make a dramatized version of this? And then they did it,

779
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: and Colin First is incredible at capturing him and like

780
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: makes it like slightly more accessible than the documentary because

781
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: he is so like that you could just like like

782
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: watching a minute of this person is like, well, I

783
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about human existence now because

784
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: he's so like strange and like hard to wrap your

785
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: mind around. Um. But anyways, all of that to say,

786
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: I just learned that. So the movie the documentary, the

787
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: thing that is most notable is that you cannot tell

788
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: if he did it or not. Like you you can

789
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,879
Speaker 1: have your suspicions, which I have. I still change back

790
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: and forth, like years after seeing it. But I always

791
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: liked this one theory, which was that an al did it,

792
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: which I've heard. I thought, you know, I've never seen

793
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: the DOCI series, but I've heard of that, So it

794
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: sounds it sounds so dumb that, like I feel like

795
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: that is the thing that kept people from letting that

796
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: reality in is that like basically she has all these

797
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: cuts on the back of her head that like don't

798
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: really make sense, and also an owl feather in her

799
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: like blood matted hair, but like they don't really even

800
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: like explore it in the trial, they like devote maybe

801
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: fift twenty minutes to it. In the documentary. I assumed

802
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: that this like very serious dramatic thing HBO series with

803
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: a list actors, was just going to breeze right past it.

804
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: But apparently after I stopped watching, they go in heavy

805
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: on the owl theory really and like show you a

806
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: recreation of the crime. If the owl head did it,

807
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: and I'm so excited. So now that that is something

808
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: that I'm very excited about all of which to say

809
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 1: the staircase that watch the docuseries and then watch the

810
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: HBO show if you if you feel like it. I'm

811
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: clearly going in on that because that sounds like it's

812
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: something that's right up my alley. I do find true

813
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: crime really interesting, but the oil theories got me sold.

814
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's a bunch of I mean, we Owned

815
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: the City has been on my list for a long

816
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: time that I just need to But like a prehistoric

817
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: planet which is like Planet Earth but with dinosaurs, which

818
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: like that. That's also something I can watch with my kids.

819
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: David in my life is a little David edbroom. And

820
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: then there's a movie called Neptune Frost. I feel like

821
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: I've done a decent job of like seeing all the

822
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: movies I wanted to see. There's this new movie called

823
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: Neptune Frost that looks really cool. It might be shown

824
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: at your local art house theater. Go watch the trailer

825
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: and if you're anything like me, you will you will

826
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: want to see it. But yeah, I think my favorite

827
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,479
Speaker 1: movie the Years are Are Are But the worst person

828
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: in the world also very good. It's like, you have

829
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: you heard of our So I hadn't, and then I

830
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: looked it up earlier today and you know, it's really stupid.

831
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 1: There was a there was like a picture from the movie,

832
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: and I became completely convinced that the name was not

833
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: urr r. It was like like you had like an

834
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: animal in it and they were looking at each other,

835
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, maybe the maybe I'm misinterpreting

836
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: what it's called. And then I was like, no, you're

837
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: being stupid. It is, but it looks like it looks

838
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: like it's really really good. It's something that I had

839
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: not heard of, like at all. It completely passed me by.

840
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: Same and same. But I have heard nothing but incredible things,

841
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: people saying, like rejoicing in the theater. I've seen a

842
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: Twitter video of like people lighting off fireworks at the

843
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: conclusion of the movie, like like there's the only sparcelers

844
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: into a movie and we're just like it was like

845
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: someone was bringing a bottle into the club and you

846
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: had like all the people following in the realm of sparklers.

847
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: But it was the end of the movie in an

848
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: actual movie theater. It was so it really makes you

849
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: want to see it, but I'm not gonna lie. I

850
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: also hear it's three hours long. It is three hours long.

851
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: I watched. I watched it on my laptop, and the

852
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: two things that should be wildly diminishing to the effect

853
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: of a film, and my immediate response was just like

854
00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: exuberant joy, energy. And I also had this feeling like wait,

855
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: like everybody who works in movies needs to watch this,

856
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 1: and then like, I don't know, maybe all of Hollywood

857
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: should just take a year off, like and just be

858
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: like I just watched this a couple of times more

859
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: and just like be like, oh oh wow. It's just

860
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: like such a leap forward in what an action movie

861
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: can be, which is like one of my favorite genres

862
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: of movies, and it's also a musical and a historical

863
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: period piece. It's like bos Lerman's Romeo and juliet Inglorious

864
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: Bastards and Braveheart. We're putting a blender and like and

865
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: also like some Crouching Tiger because the action like does

866
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: new things with action that like you haven't seen that.

867
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure every action movie is going to try and mimic.

868
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 1: But it was like, yeah, they put all those movies

869
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: in a blender and came out with something that's like

870
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: much better than any of them, and I like this.

871
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: I also, I think it's way better than Top Gun Maverick,

872
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: and I really liked to Maverick. I really liked Maverick. Actually,

873
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: I was surprised. I liked the original Top Gun, but

874
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: like my partner was super into the original Talk Gun

875
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 1: because like he's a real plane nerd, Like he loves

876
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: jet and it's always been like a jet nerd. So

877
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:17,919
Speaker 1: we went to this and he was like, I don't

878
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: know if I want to go see this because like

879
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: what if what if they what if they do the

880
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: Tom Cat dirty, I'm not going to be okay with it.

881
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,959
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god, you can't talk

882
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: like that about a plane. So we went to the

883
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: called tom Cruise. Maybe we do, but we went. So

884
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: we went and we were like, um, we just have

885
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: to we have to just sit down and see it.

886
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: And I loved it. I was really surprised that I

887
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: liked it so much. It was really really good, and

888
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: like I think a lot of people, some people have

889
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: said that it was kind of like cringe or whatever,

890
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, like, did you see the original

891
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: talk like it was pretty cringe, but like it was good.

892
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know, I thought Maverick was great. Yeah,

893
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: could have been gay like it, like the even leaving

894
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: the original like that, that was one of the more

895
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: notable undertones, slash overtones tones of the first Uh, and

896
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 1: they kind of took it out of this time. I

897
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: needed more sweaty bodies playing volleyball. Yes, but alright, I

898
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: I seed the floor at this point because I have

899
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: some takes on games, you know, I bet you I

900
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: think these people are alrdy hearing me talk game well

901
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: well from my Twitch stream, o G Well, it's as

902
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: as awesome of the year as it has been for

903
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: television and film already. It has also been a banger

904
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,240
Speaker 1: year for video games, and for a couple of reasons,

905
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: one of which is that, you know, of course, during

906
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: the pandemic, there was a lot of pushing back of

907
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: video games that were supposed to come out in one

908
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,240
Speaker 1: and we are kind of hitting a excess of games

909
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: that are like, okay, finally ready for release, but also

910
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: titles from companies that are very storied, like from Software

911
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: who's famous for you know, the the the Souls game,

912
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: Souls Born games from Gorilla, who made the first Horizon

913
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: Zero don uh and from game Freak, the people behind Pokemon,

914
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: like big companies, finally releasing the next chapter of whatever

915
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: they were working on coming out in two and feeding

916
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: people so many great games, some of which I am

917
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: completely incapable of completing, as contrary to Psyche, who is

918
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: a master and who's destroying all of them. But just awesome,

919
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: awesome games that are coming out, and so you know,

920
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: name off the bat, a couple that came at this here,

921
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: Elden Ring, Horizon, Forbidden West, Pokemon Legends, Archais, and even

922
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: smaller titles, smaller ish titles like Teenage Mutant Inta Turtle

923
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: Shredder's Revenge, which is just a nostalgia overload, this awesome

924
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: new game Neon White, which is like a first person

925
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: shooter speed running game, and Tunic, which is this really

926
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: cute kind of like Zelda style game but with an

927
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: awesome Fox character and has kind of like tilt shift

928
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: animation style. But like Psyche, what are you feeling about games?

929
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: Is here? So far? I am really really thrilled because

930
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: I have been a person who has never in my

931
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: life been able to complete a Souls Born games like

932
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: Dark Souls or Secio or blood Born, I've never finished one.

933
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: I get frustrated really easily. I'm not like a ridge gamer.

934
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, like I played Dark Souls

935
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: three and I got to a point where I just

936
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: got super super frustrated and couldn't finish it. Elden Ring.

937
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: I finished and it took hundred and thank you, a

938
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 1: hundred and something hours, and I did it all on stream,

939
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: and I really really loved it. And I was actually

940
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 1: really genuinely surprised that I was so into I expected

941
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: myself to play it for a while and then just

942
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: get like kind of burned out on it. But it's definitely,

943
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: at least at the moment, my game of the year. UM.

944
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: I think Think did a really really great job with it.

945
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm feeling described the game to people who haven't played it,

946
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: like us to check like I think. I think, like

947
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: UM a hardcore game where you have to go it's

948
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: very punishing, you have to fight your way through bosses

949
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 1: that get increasingly difficult, but there's like a really great

950
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: underlying story. It's open world, so you have a lot

951
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: of places to explore, and it was really really beautiful

952
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: and like there's a story something with Soulsborn games that

953
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: isn't like the lore is really fun and interesting, but

954
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: they tend to hide it in like item descriptions or

955
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: like a weird little hidden location that you find and

956
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: then you find out the lower about a character or whatever.

957
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: And that's what elden Ring does, and I really really

958
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: liked it. I think they did a really great job

959
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: of not kind of like shoehorning you into like a

960
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: very linear path, which is great for some people and

961
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: not so great for others. It just happened to be

962
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: great for me because it meant like a do whatever

963
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: the heck I wanted, which I really liked. I think

964
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: we've got so much to do this year, and we've

965
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: got lots to look forward to as well. It's really cool,

966
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: very much a lot to look forward to. Another note

967
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: on elden Ring, that thing is worth mentioning is that

968
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: was the game that was touted as a collab with

969
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: George R. And Martin who was just coming off wild,

970
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: relative huge roller coaster of success that was Game of

971
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: Thrones but never heard of. Yeah, not that, but but

972
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: the success. I think there's definitely, you know, an advancement

973
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: and the storytelling and from software games with elden Ring

974
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: partially helped by George rr Martin. So I think that's

975
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 1: just worth mentioning in terms of accounting for the awesome

976
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 1: success of that of that game, even though I literally

977
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: can't get past the first ten hours of that game

978
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 1: and I'm just putting it down because I'm getting upset.

979
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: But another another piece of games industry success that I

980
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: want to highlight is the proliferation of subscription services like

981
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: Xbox Game Pass. I think that, you know, you could

982
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 1: look at another subscription service and be like, I don't

983
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: want to pay for another Hulu, Netflix, whatever. But I

984
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: think the value that you get out of something like

985
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: Xbox Game Pass when games are sixty to seventy dollars

986
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: flat and and there, and in certain parts of the

987
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: world even more expensive than that, Like paying ten dollars

988
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: a month to have access to Triple A games and

989
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: also indie titles, gives you the kind of like, you

990
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: know what, I can try this game for a little

991
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: bit if I wasn't planning on playing it because it's

992
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: included in this thing that I paid for us a

993
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 1: monthly and for indie games that, like you may have

994
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: never even considered or heard of, Like just as an example,

995
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: that teenagement Ninja Turtles game that I was just talking about.

996
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 1: It's like twenty five dollars on Steam and I think,

997
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, I beat the campaign, which is like sixteen levels,

998
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 1: took me like three hours, three hours before where there's

999
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 1: an indie game that is a like massive franchise that

1000
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 1: is like how did they have they pull that off?

1001
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: So you know what what basically what happens is like

1002
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: smaller companies let me let me pull up home, let

1003
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: me pull up in the film of the past four

1004
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 1: years as Rise of Skywalker, that little indie company exactly.

1005
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: So um, the developer is this company called Tribute Games,

1006
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: which is this company out of Montreal, and they make

1007
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: these kinds of like you know, basically like sixteen bits

1008
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: arcady looking games, but they wanted to recreate the the

1009
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 1: very traditional uh t management Turtles like arcade game, Like

1010
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: there's that, you know, it's a classic cabinet game right

1011
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 1: next to the Simpsons game. You have your four sticks,

1012
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: you have your kick, you have your jump, you have

1013
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: your your I don't even I think that was it.

1014
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: I think it was kick and jump where you're you're

1015
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: punching your jump, where your two abilities that you had overall,

1016
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: and people would just dump quarters into those games over

1017
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: and over and over, and they had such appeal that

1018
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: like Tribute decided to grab onto that nostalgia and take

1019
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: the I P and bring it back in this awesome

1020
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: package that's like super consumable, super fun to play. You

1021
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: can play it with six people out of time, which

1022
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: kind of gets a little crazy on the screen. But

1023
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: my main point is that it's twenty five bucks on Steam,

1024
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: and I think there's a lot of people who look

1025
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: at what would be a three hour investment of time

1026
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: and be like, I don't really think that's worth bucks.

1027
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: But when it comes to something like for something they guys,

1028
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: such a god game over here. But like when you

1029
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: have Xbox game Pass or a service like that also

1030
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: not sponsored content, just throwing it out there that you

1031
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,919
Speaker 1: you know, you are more open to trying these kinds

1032
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: of things out. And you know, after the Xbox and

1033
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: Bethesda game presentation, when so many of those games were

1034
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: like day one on game Pass, you look at that.

1035
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: And for those who are unaware, Microsoft owns Xbox, they

1036
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: recently acquired Bethesda, which is a game company or a

1037
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: game developer, and they did a presentation called this thing

1038
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: called Summer games Fest two where they showed the next

1039
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: year or two years of video games that are coming out,

1040
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: and basically after every trailer it said day one on

1041
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,479
Speaker 1: game Pass, pretty much like I would say of the games,

1042
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: Day one on game Pass, which means that if you

1043
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: are a subscriber to game Pass, you have everything that

1044
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: you want to play for the next year is just

1045
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: at your fingertips the second it comes out. You don't

1046
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,439
Speaker 1: have to pay anything extra. It's just like, yeah, play

1047
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: this awesome game, go for it. Didn't they even confirm that,

1048
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: like Starfield is going to be I think said day

1049
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: one game for anyone who doesn't know Starfield is like

1050
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,959
Speaker 1: for me as a person who plays space games a lot,

1051
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: I saw also as obsessed with Skyrim, I saw this

1052
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: as the Skyroom in space kind of idea, and when

1053
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: this is the perfect game for me. It has everything

1054
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: I need, Like you can you can fly your spaceship,

1055
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: you can build your own spaceship, you can build bases

1056
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: on planets, you can fly around in space, you have

1057
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: an RPG as well. I thought this was amazing, and

1058
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: then they were like day one game game Pass for

1059
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: like ten bucks a month. That's wild. That's amazing. It's

1060
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: it's an it's an amazing service. And I think, you know, again,

1061
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: I think there's definitely ups and downs to the subscription

1062
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: model of video games for sure, um and that some

1063
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: smaller companies might not be seen with the revenue that

1064
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: they would like. But but while the subscription service itself

1065
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: gets more people to play their games, it's definitely like

1066
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: a give and take for sure, but it allows people

1067
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: that access, and I think access is the thing that

1068
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: gets people to contribute more to the games in general.

1069
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: And just like how many are coming out, you know,

1070
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: gamers are eating as as as as they say, games

1071
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: are definitely eating right now they are. It's like you

1072
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: do you do you use Xbox Game Past? I do, Um, well,

1073
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm subscribed. I wouldn't say I use it a ton

1074
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: in a minute, because especially because I've been playing so

1075
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: much elden Ring up until like two or three weeks ago,

1076
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: I that was literally the only game I was playing.

1077
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: But I do think it's great and I've had it subscribe.

1078
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people in my community on Twitch

1079
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: that would talk about like, you know, oh, this game

1080
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 1: just came to game Pass. There's a game I'm actually

1081
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: playing right now. I'm going to tell you what it.

1082
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: It's also it comes as like an underrated thing for me.

1083
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: Vampire Survivors is so freaking good. It's like, I don't know,

1084
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: like two dollars or you get it in game Pass.

1085
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: And I just got a Steam deck recently, and I

1086
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: thank you. We have two in our house, which is

1087
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: just a really really dangerous situations. Two of us are

1088
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: sitting at like two o'clock in the morning on the

1089
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Steam deck playing Vampire Survivors for four hours in a row,

1090
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: just recharging the steam deck, and because it's so addictive,

1091
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: but it's really really fun, and I feel like I

1092
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: keep talking about it to people and they're like, oh

1093
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: my god, I've googled it, like like it looks like

1094
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: a really super retro game, and I don't really think

1095
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: the game plays for me. And then the next day

1096
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: someone says, oh my god, I hate you. I stayed

1097
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: up until like three o'clock in the morning playing Vampire Survivors.

1098
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: It's really really fun game. I love. I love having

1099
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: video games described to make like described, what is it? Like? Geo,

1100
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: you guys are amazing sorry, anyway, like that like high

1101
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: concept stuff where I'm like, that's really cool. It's like

1102
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: you play as a person who's trying to survive wave

1103
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: upon wave of like vampires and bats and zombies and

1104
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: creatures and stuff that just keep spawning at you. And

1105
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: you pick up items, and as you level up, you

1106
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: get like a random selection of items and you can

1107
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: pick whatever ones you want, and then you like equip

1108
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: six weapons and six successories and they completely change how

1109
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: you like attack stuff around you. You literally just have

1110
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: to move. You don't attack anything, you just move, and

1111
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: it's so weirdly fun. Like I remember the first time

1112
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: I played it, I was like, what the funk? I

1113
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: can't attack? I don't understand, but it's so good. I

1114
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: don't know how to describe it other than that it's

1115
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: just wild and very very overstimulating, but very funny. There's

1116
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: there's a style of there's a style of a game

1117
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: called a roguelike, and the idea of the game is

1118
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: you're playing the same kind of game over again, but

1119
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: each time you rest are in it, you get another item,

1120
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: or you get a little bit stronger, or you just

1121
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: have more information about how the game goes and it's

1122
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: a style of game that has, you know, many different versions,

1123
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: like you can think like Enter the Gungeon or Binding

1124
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: of Isaac or something like that. But a game like

1125
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: Vampire Survivors is taking that form and changing it ever

1126
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: so slightly. And again, I think this all contributes to

1127
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 1: the whole access to indie games and the access to

1128
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: smaller developers that things like Xbox Game Pass or Steam

1129
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: give you where it's like, hey, you know, we don't

1130
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: it's about the concept of the game. Like if you

1131
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: look at a game like Vampire Survivors, which is just

1132
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter, wildly popular. It is, as

1133
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Psyche said, a two dollar game that it's like he

1134
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: also mentioned is very like low graphical fidelity. It's not

1135
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: a super great looking game, but that's not the point.

1136
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: The point is they developed this gameplay loop that is

1137
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: so addicting and so fun that Psyche and your partner

1138
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: are staying four in the morning playing it on the

1139
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: Steam Deck. And also, for those not aware, the Steam

1140
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: Deck is a ice it's very similar looking to a

1141
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: Nintendo Switch, but you can play games from the library

1142
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: of Steam, so it's like having a computer in your

1143
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: hands that plays so many different games. At a really

1144
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: high quality, like it looks really really powerful, act it

1145
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: looks amazing. But yeah, so it's just like we we

1146
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: we are definitely in a renaissance of like indie games

1147
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: and titles, just having the access to people who are like, well,

1148
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: let me, you know, I'll check out this random game

1149
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: for fun because it's like small and it's you know, cheap,

1150
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: and it's really you know, takes two hundred megabytes or

1151
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: something like that, Like you download that, let's just pop

1152
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: it off. Takes three cyclis to download. I'll do it. Well,

1153
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't have said it any better myself, you guys.

1154
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:39,520

01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: of different things. I'm very very nerdy as I'm sure

1167
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: I totally didn't give that impression at all, but yes,

1168

Speaker 1: you can find me on twitch as Psyche ps y

1169
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: c G and Psyche plays on pretty much on social media. Yeah,

1170
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: I thought in social I'm like such a gamer, but

1171
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was boss and then some Roman numeral like,

1172
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: is there a tweet where some of the work of

1173
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: social media you've been enjoying? Yes? Actually, so this is

1174
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: just a standalone tweet that I saw the other day.

1175
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: I do not know the person who posted it at all,

1176
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: but it's really stood right to me. The person who

1177
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 1: tweeted it is called Farah underscore Loon, and they said

1178
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: recovering people pleasers will be like I'm in my villain

1179
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: era and it's just politely drawing healthy boundaries. I felt

1180
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: really personally attacked by that, really struggles. That's funny. That

1181
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: one was a big one for me. I've really enjoyed that,

1182
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: and I keep coming back to it and just having

1183
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: a little laughed myself. Yeah, that is I am a

1184
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: recovering people pleaser. I don't think I'm even recovering one day. Yeah,

1185
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 1: one of one days. Yeah, that's why I should I

1186
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: should just say I I am I and identified people. Please,

1187
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,240

1201
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: and frankly, the if the past couple of weeks we've

1202
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: had our hosts doing their own Q and A is about,

1203
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, their own their own journeys into the streaming

1204
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: world to content creation, but also the stuff they used

1205
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: to stream, so it's not just you know, kind of

1206
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, big picture advice about you know, getting into

1207
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: and finding what you want to do, but also very

1208
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: like nuts and bolts, like what do we use to

1209
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: get it done? So I think it's full chock full

1210
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: of incredible information. So check out the Boss Lettle podcast

1211

01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcast. And the tweet that I

1213
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: enjoyed is actually like a response to somebody else talking

1214
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: about Mitch McConnell. And I think that the original tweet

1215
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 1: is from Hassan Abi or from Yes saying I want

1216
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 1: to be a percent microplastics and breathe only Cole. Thank god,

1217
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 1: this goatus is stopping the communist federal agencies like the

1218
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,440

1264
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 1: have produced an album called Actual Life, which was kind

1265
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: of like a postal service style album of collecting recordings,

1266
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: voice recordings and just like random samples from friends during

1267
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 1: the pandemic, people who were stuck at home, and then

1268
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: produced an album out of it. And I say it's

1269
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:45,759
Speaker 1: postal service style because you know, those guys got started

1270
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: by just sending each other exactly the origin story and

1271
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: then sending stuff from the mail. He received a bunch

1272
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: of samples and recordings for friends turned into this awesome album,

1273
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 1: Actual Life, which you should also listen to. But the
