1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: Zeit Rock Trendy Mountain as courtesy of Stony Metal head S.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: D Uh straight out the discord is what SD stands for. Uh,

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: I am Jack. That is DJ Hello, Hello than Um.

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: That's so funny that on tomorrow's episode, which we've already recorded, Uh,

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: we talked about Big Rock Candy Mountain because, um, we're

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: talking about how the depression content that people created back

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: in the day. I don't think it was called content

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: back then, but in the Great Depression, the content was

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: all just like very surface level, easy, too easy to understand.

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: Like the Big Rock Candy Mountain was about how cool

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: it would be to have a big mountain made of candy.

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: Very up, Yeah, very straight up. And I feel like

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: we're in a similar time right now with like Emily

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: in Paris and ship like that. But we will talk

16
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: about that on tomorrow's episode. Uh, for now, let's tell

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: the people what's trending, shall we. Let's do it. Rock

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: Center is trending. Uh. They put up the they put

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: up the Christmas tree at a thirty Rockefeller Center in

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: New York City, and uh it is it looks like shit.

21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: It looks real bad. It's um, yeah, I don't know

22
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: what happened, like if it got rubbed, like if they

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: if part of it was like dragging in the road

24
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: as they were driving it there, or what how it happened,

25
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: But um, it's it's does not have a lot of girdles.

26
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: I would love if the tree had that excuse that,

27
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: like you know the average family has where it's like, oh,

28
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: well the tree got dragged behind the car for a

29
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: little bit. It's like, yeah, the entire sixty ft tree,

30
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: and Rockefeller Centers like, yeah, we accidentally dragged it all

31
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: the way down to their afnoes so we lost needles there. Yeah,

32
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: it's it seems kind of amazing that that this can happen,

33
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: Like this seems like one of those things where you

34
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: would have twenty different giant trees that you're choosing from

35
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: up until the last moment, and then you're like, Okay,

36
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: we'll go with this one, and then you like airlifted

37
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: there or something. But you think that have the money,

38
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: but who knows. This looks like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree,

39
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: Like it looks like a dead ass old Christmas tree.

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: I also wondering how they're going to be able to

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: really dress it up with majesty, because I feel like

42
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: you need those needles, you need the big fronds or

43
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: the big you know, branches to hold all the ship right.

44
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: So like what, I love it. I love it. I'm

45
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: here for it. I feel like we were talking on

46
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: earlier about just how tired everyone is, how like depression

47
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: is just ragging us all down, like the swamp of

48
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: sorrow in the Never Ending Story. And yeah, I feel

49
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: like if if we're going to do that, we might

50
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: as well go all the way. Let let's let it paint,

51
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: paint our worlds. Just let's just do it with go

52
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: all the way in all the way in love it,

53
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: love it? Uh speaking of all the way? And I

54
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: am all the way into this next story. Because the

55
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: Game Awards are out, or at least the nominees, I

56
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: have some thoughts. I bet you do, but you go first.

57
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: I'll let you go first. So you know, every year

58
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: there's just a company called the Game Awards, produced by

59
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: Jeff Keeley, and it is a celebration of the video

60
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: games of the year. I think they would like to

61
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: think it's the video games Oscars, and I think to

62
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: a certain extent, it is, since there's no other thing

63
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: that has this much backing. It's just like they put

64
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: the money into it. It has the grandeur of a

65
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: real ass awards ceremony. So here we are. Um, but

66
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: it really ends up just being a big marketing opportunity.

67
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Like instead of performances, it's just trailers for new games.

68
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: And sometimes the awards are snapped off in like five

69
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: or six in a row, or they'll just say and

70
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: the award for this goes to blank, congratulations, and the

71
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: award for this one goes to blank congratulations. And here's

72
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: the next trailer for so and so, and it's like,

73
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: all right, cool, I see what this really is. Oh

74
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: so it's it's not even a show. They're just like

75
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: bang bang bang. Well that's the thing. There is a show.

76
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: There's a show last year, and it was big, there

77
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: was production and everything, and yet still it's just like,

78
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, it ends up being a big marketing opportunity,

79
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: which I guess they all all the awards shows are.

80
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: But it's definitely very on the surface when it comes

81
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: to the Video Game Award show. But um, you know,

82
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: some some big nominees this year. Game of the Year

83
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: is uh I don't know how contentious it is. Since

84
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: Last of Us Part two came out this year, and

85
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: that's that, I think that will pretty much go down

86
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: as I think that's your guaranteed winner right there. Also

87
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: up as Animal Crossing, New Horizon, Do Maternal, Final Fantasy

88
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: seven remake, Ghosts of Sushima, and Hades, which is definitely

89
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: an underdog favorite. But Last of Us two, I think

90
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: it's going to take that excited. I've heard of all those,

91
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: um fun So a game like among Us that has

92
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: like dominated the zeitgeist very much days, but like, is

93
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: it such a simple game that people like that it

94
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: would not be nominated? Is that actually, as a matter

95
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: of fact check, it is nominated for Best Multiplayer Game

96
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: this year because it had such a dominating presence in

97
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: the you know, in the video game sphere. What's funny though,

98
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: is that that game also came out in came just

99
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: like was a very you know, independent game. One person

100
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: made that a one producer, just a single person. So

101
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: it came out kind of just like, had middling sales

102
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: on Steam and then disappeared. One streamer named Soda Pop

103
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: and played it on his stream, and now it is

104
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: one of the most popular Games in the World and

105
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: getting nominated for Best Multiplayer at the Game Awards, So

106
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: definitely a glow up for that game got it. So

107
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: how does it get nominated even though it came out

108
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: in twenty eight team they just don't have as strict

109
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: rules as like they don't give a shit. It's just

110
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: it's this like, like I said, it's a big hype fest.

111
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: So like if something is super hyped up, Like for example,

112
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: the most popular video game in the world is still

113
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: League of Legends or this other um mobile first person

114
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: shooter game made by ten Cent I can't remember the name,

115
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: but League of Legends is not nominated here in the

116
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: Best Multiplayer. The other games are also Animal Crossing, among

117
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: us Call of Duty, Fall Guys, and Valerie and Valerian

118
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,679
Speaker 1: is actually the company that made League of Legends Riot,

119
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: it's their other game. So like, I think it's more

120
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: of a hype contest than it is an actual merit contest,

121
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: because otherwise, I think these games that just literally have

122
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: millions and millions of concurrent players all the time would

123
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: have would be up there every single year. What um right,

124
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: and that game didn't come out this year, so they're like,

125
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: we're going to move on to the new game by them.

126
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, I guess that's what they're mut have

127
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: more or less. Ye, So what are the different categories.

128
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: There's the best Picture is Game of the Year. The

129
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,679
Speaker 1: best Picture is Game of the Year. But you also

130
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: have uh adding things like innovation and accessibility, which is cool,

131
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: Games for impact, which are strictly games that are you know,

132
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: pushing a message about something like the environment. Or you know,

133
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: there's best VR Games, best Community Support, best e sports team,

134
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: so it dips into the world of e sports as well,

135
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: Best Action Adventure, Best Ongoing Game, uh, so on and

136
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: so forth, like the sports coach, role playing multiplayer, best

137
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: fighting game, role playing game, sports racing game, best debut game,

138
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: brand new game. So there's a lot of different categories,

139
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: and I think that might also explain why they just

140
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: kind of like ripped through them, because there's there's a lot.

141
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: And tell you what, ma'am, those categories need some help.

142
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: Those categories not good, not interesting to a casual observer. Yeah,

143
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: it's all just like, yeah, it feels like it feels

144
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: like an industry awards thing where it's all stuff that

145
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: matters to industry people in categories the mattered industry people,

146
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: but from a from like an outsider's perspective, I don't, yeah,

147
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: yea more interested in like here like best graphic graphic

148
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: innovation or something. Sure, there's a little bit of that.

149
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of in the same problem. I

150
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't say problem, but like you know how the OSCAR

151
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: splits its technical awards and like the big famous awards.

152
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: I think this could serve from a little bit of that,

153
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: where it's like, let's get your real big blockbuster awards

154
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: up there to the main show and then maybe save

155
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: some of these for something else because the show, Yeah exactly,

156
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: like you know, best e Sports Event, I don't, Yeah,

157
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: that's not a big ticket award right there, because I

158
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: don't know who's going to win that. It'll be like

159
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: a production it's the production team behind the event that

160
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: wins that. So it's like a major like who the

161
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: hell knows of these people? Are? Some Some people do,

162
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: but it's not that's not that's not that um let's

163
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: talk about. So the NBA Draft is tonight. It's uh,

164
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, strange for the reason a lot of sports

165
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: things are strange. Again, apparently, the Masters was this past weekend.

166
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: I had no idea that, which is like something that

167
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: usually happens I think in April or May or something,

168
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: uh that happened this past weekend and had no clue. Um.

169
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: And the NBA Draft is similarly something that usually happens

170
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: in the summer, after like a few weeks after the season. Um.

171
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: And it's usually after a n C double a basketball season,

172
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: so we we have a chance to get to know

173
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: the players. This year, we have no such opportunity. Everybody

174
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: is very confused about who who any of these guys are,

175
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: but they're is a gentleman Edwards who has uh separated

176
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: himself from the pack. He is. He's like one of

177
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: the people think he's gonna be top I think the

178
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: number three pick and in the whole draft according to

179
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: the most recent although I don't know how recent this

180
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: mock draft is because it still has LaMelo Ball. Yeah

181
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: forty eight minutes ago. Okay, so maybe LaMelo Ball is

182
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: going to be the number one pick. James Wiseman at

183
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: number two, who's a seven ft one That's the dude

184
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: I would pick if I had had a number one

185
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: pick in this draft. But at number three, Anthony Edwards. Um,

186
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: this dude, Uh, so, first of all, he just gave

187
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: an interview with ESPN where he was basically like, I

188
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: don't really like basketball, Like I'm still not really into it,

189
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: is what he said. Um, I'm still not really into

190
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: it when it comes to basketball. Uh. The nineteen year

191
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: old shooting guard didn't exactly showcase much enthusiasm regarding his

192
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: future in the NBA and said that he can't watch games.

193
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: What what a way to just put a shoot yourself

194
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: in the foot before you even start the race, Like,

195
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: come on, man. So, I mean that might seem like

196
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: privilege that he's just like so talented that he doesn't

197
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: like even realize how lucky he is too. But here's

198
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: another anecdote about him that suggests to me that he

199
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: there's more to this dude, that he might be secretly

200
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: like just a genius human being. Um So, this dude

201
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: on Reddit posted this anecdote. We don't know if it's true,

202
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: but I am hoping it is. To trust user your

203
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: boy beef Cat, it's so yeah, of course your boy

204
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: beef Cat is you know, the New York Times of

205
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: beef Cats, just in terms of his fact checking process.

206
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: But uh, so quote, he's definitely a little out there.

207
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: My friend manages a Benny Hannah and said that they

208
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: had to ask Edwards to stop coming in. Apparently he

209
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: didn't understand how the restaurant worked and would casually bring

210
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: in his own food to heat up on the pan tables.

211
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: The last straw was when he sat at a table

212
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: hosting a large birthday party and spilled his entire container

213
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: of gumbo all over the stovetop. That rules. Um do

214
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: you remember you remember when the people were put posting

215
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: all those fake Kauai stories? Yeah, this is it feels

216
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: like that but real totally Yeah, I apple time, baby,

217
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: Apple time. I mean Kauai uh was definitely an interesting

218
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: aloof character who ended up being one of the three

219
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: best players in the league. So maybe maybe don't let

220
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: is a strangeness push you away. But the thing like

221
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: not liking to watch basketball, so is that feels like

222
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: it almost should be disqualifying because that's the one thing

223
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: that like, you cannot be so amazing, you can't like

224
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: keep improving and improving if if the game is just

225
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: like super boring to you. Um, yeah, I don't know.

226
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: But then I watch highlights of him and he looks

227
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: like he's really good. Maybe he's just like sucking around

228
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: because he uh, the number one pick is Minneapolis Timberwolves,

229
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: So who who knows if he's just like, I don't

230
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: want to live in Minnesota, don't pick me. Honestly that

231
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: maybe that could be some galaxy brain move right there

232
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: was like maybe I pretend I don't like basketball so

233
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: a better team picks me up. It's like yeah, yeah,

234
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: d chess right there. Yeah. He is currently the odds

235
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: on favorite to be the number one pick according to

236
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: betting O Betting Odds, as as the real gambling Sharks

237
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: call it according to Betting Odds, the Betting Odds. Yes, yes,

238
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: uh jump Man logo was trending more yesterday because people

239
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: were just talking about how much free advertising the Jordan

240
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: brand got from that that Hail Murray. Uh that week

241
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: we did talk about that. I guess yesterday's episode or

242
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: yesterday's trending, but um, it is just interesting to think about,

243
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: like those those examples of free advertising. I was actually

244
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: just thinking about mad Men. I went back and looked

245
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: up how many of the product placements in Madmen were

246
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: paid for by the brands, and like, not many of

247
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: them were, so they just yeah, which is really kind

248
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: of Balls by mad By, like the show's producers to

249
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, Jaguar is not gonna sue us just

250
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: because we had somebody try to kill themselves in our

251
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: car and then weren't able to start it because it

252
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: was such a piece of crap and Jaguar was not

253
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: like but like every time people would ask the brands

254
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: about it, like they would they were good sports, I

255
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: guess because they wanted to seem like they were cool,

256
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: and it does seem like it's just any exposure is good.

257
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: Is good exposure exposure, and I guess in a show

258
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: about advertising advertising, it's also like we've been around since

259
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: the fifties, since the heyday of um, you know, American alcoholism.

260
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, check us out. And then finally something

261
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: that's making us all misty right now, Fresh Prince trailer.

262
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: Uh they're doing a Fresh Prince for Union. I could

263
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: just watch, like, I mean, the like them being in

264
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: the same room as kind of cool, but mainly it's

265
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: just like the them talking about like clips from the

266
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: show was dope. Yeah, then just just the highlight reel

267
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: baby totally and in the in the spirit of rewatch

268
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: culture getting hot in the streets, this seems like an

269
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: appropriate time for the gang to get back together and

270
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: recount some stories. Yeah, especially Fonso Alfonse Rivieriro. How is

271
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: it Alfonso Ribera. I think it's al Fonso. Yeah, yeah,

272
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: I just call him Alfonse for sure. That's that's what

273
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: we're tight um. But he's having a moment with those ads. Yeah, Yeah,

274
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: he's funny. I'm excited for it, you know. I. I I

275
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: also love a little bit of nostalgia, and I think,

276
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: like we were talking about on tomorrow's show, we could

277
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: use a little bit of kind of easily consumable happy media.

278
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: Regardless of how we define it, whether it's depression media

279
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: or or just how beustalgia media. It's good to have

280
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, this is our big rock candy Mountain.

281
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: This is our big rock candy Mountain. All right, DJ Daniel,
