Speaker 3: Yes, I've been excited for fifty years sometime in the future.

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: I watched the trailer. I even pulled some audio from it.

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 2: That matters, and what you got, I'm gonna do this.

Speaker 3: You can be in Miami, you could be in the swamp.

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,480

00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I watch the trailer. That's what it is.

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: But okay, so here's the thing. There's tons of hype now.

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: But when GTA first came out, the very first first game,

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: I remember that they had to get a little more

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: creative when it came to marketing. Okay, because the first

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: edition of this game was released in nineteen ninety seven. Okay,

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: and Alexis, can you tell me the scheme they came

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: up with to create attention around the new game.

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you multiple choice, all right.

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: I may not even know this.

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: Did they a plant fake news stories? Did they be

31
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: set up free tattoo stations inside malls? Or did they

32
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: see attempt to break the Guinness World Record for largest

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: street race? Oh?

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 4: God, those are fun. I used to play GT so

35
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: much when I was in elementary school. Really, we weren't

36
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 4: allowed to have volume on, so we could just play

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 4: the Obviously when our parents I went downstairs, we turned

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: the volume like really loud.

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: They keep back up for me.

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: Such a fun game, like just a mindlessly walk around.

41
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: Like I will say, before this came out, the role

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: Like when I was really little in elementary school, there

43
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: was one called Leisure Suit Larry and that was a

44
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: PC game and you would go to like whorehouses and stuff.

45
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: I know, I was allowed.

46
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: I was allowed to play that when I was a

47
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: little We came from the same parents okay.

48
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: To be the street rays.

49
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: I like, but I don't know that that could like

50
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: actually happen without injuries and accidents and all that.

51
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: It's called Grand Theft Autos. It's about stealing cars and

52
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: cars in a sense, right, yeah, but.

53
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: It actually happened. I don't know.

54
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: I like the tattoos, but I feel like back in

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty seve maybe they weren't just giving out tattoos

56
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 4: as much as now people do free tattoo things all

57
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,519
