Speaker 1: The government has declared them essential. The Armstrong and getting show.
Speaker 1: Yo yo. We are broadcasting from our homes today in
Speaker 1: case we at some point have no choice but the
Speaker 1: broadcast from our home. So we thought we'd try out
Speaker 1: the equipment. Joe's at his palacial estate and I'm out
Speaker 1: in the trailer that we have parked out in front
Speaker 1: of our house. I have no one to keep me
Speaker 1: company but my wife, my daughter, sleeve boy, my dog,
Speaker 1: my horses, my groomsman. Cool people, you have no idea
Speaker 1: how funny that is? Uh? Anyway, so I'm joined by
Speaker 1: my eight year old Henry. Come out. Um, what did
Speaker 1: we just do out in front of the trailer? Henry?
Speaker 1: That's right, that's a great thing about living out in
Speaker 1: the country. We just paid in the yard. Oh man, Hey,
Speaker 1: is Henry got headphones on? Oh? He can? Hey Henry,
Speaker 1: Joe here. I hope you're doing good. I am good.
Speaker 1: Well you're peeing in the yard. That's big fun. Giant
Speaker 1: Breakfast made your waffles and strawberries orange juice. So how
Speaker 1: is this whole coronavirus thing working for you? Because Sam's
Speaker 1: home from school every day? You liken that or not? Uh? No?
Speaker 1: Tired of being cooped up in a little house. What
Speaker 1: do you wish? What do you wish you could do?
Speaker 1: I don't really know. Um, we're well, what are you
Speaker 1: doing with most of your time? Boy? Sean? Don't even
Speaker 1: get him started. It shuts you and Sean will end
Speaker 1: up talking for the next fifteen minutes. What do you
Speaker 1: spend spending all your time doing? Henry Minecraft's TV? Does
Speaker 1: you have the diamond armor yet? Is? Where is he
Speaker 1: still in the process of getting enough resources for that? Well? Well,
Speaker 1: I mostionally go on to Cuative and then like I
Speaker 1: start my house there, and then I go on to Survival.
Speaker 1: How do you how do you normally survived the first
Speaker 1: night of survival without getting getting beat by the monsters?
Speaker 1: What do you normally do? Mostly I start going killing
Speaker 1: sheep and and and then and then I mined down
Speaker 1: some trees for a crafty table. And then the first
Speaker 1: thing I make is usually an axe or pick axe. Smart, smart,
Speaker 1: have any idea what any of this means? The whole
Speaker 1: killing sheep and peeing in the yard is not a
Speaker 1: good look for us. Well, it's not real life. Well,
Speaker 1: the ping was real life, but the killing sheep is
Speaker 1: not real life. What what do you want to do
Speaker 1: this weekend? I don't know mostly what I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: white now be well, right now I'm here, but later
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch TV fantastic. Oh what do you
Speaker 1: always tell people I do on the radio? What is
Speaker 1: it that I do? Uh? Blah blah? And I make
Speaker 1: jokes about the news and what I don't call them? Yeah,
Speaker 1: hey told me you make jokes about the news and
Speaker 1: complain about the government. I know what you do pretty close.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. Hey, Henry, what what are your favorite
Speaker 1: TV shows these days? Boss Baby? Oh? Yeah, uh uh?
Speaker 1: Minecraft stowing on? Are you still watching the end of
Speaker 1: the Spider Verse The Spider Man? Have you? Have you
Speaker 1: watched that recently? Yeah, that's a good one. I like
Speaker 1: that one a lot, many, many, many times. We're thinking
Speaker 1: about restarting King Julian and then they both the boys
Speaker 1: want to get into Tiger King because they keep hearing
Speaker 1: Mom and I talk about it, but we're just we're
Speaker 1: just not thinking that's the perfect show for them. I
Speaker 1: think you're right. You did hear about one part, didn't you.
Speaker 1: The ladies I'm getting chopped off, And then I had
Speaker 1: a dream aboutline getting chopped us just mentioning that that
Speaker 1: woman got her arm bit off by the tiger then
Speaker 1: he had a nightmare about it. So, yeah, Tiger King
Speaker 1: is probably not the best show. No, no, it's not
Speaker 1: a good show. It's nasty. It's like that writer said,
Speaker 1: why are people watching this? It's appalling? Is there no
Speaker 1: food for me when I come in when I'm done
Speaker 1: to eat? Yeah, I'm pretty sure, Pretty sure, Yeah, Henry,
Speaker 1: I'm totally I'm jealousy, I'm super jealous your breakfast. I
Speaker 1: had a protein bar out of the pantry. Boo. I
Speaker 1: could have been eating waffles and strawberries. Dang it. Well,
Speaker 1: any final words for the audience before I let you go,
Speaker 1: Henry so I can get back to work. Goodbye. Creepers,
Speaker 1: get you, Henry. Those are little monsters from Minecraft. Now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have nightmares. John. I have a feeling that
Speaker 1: by hand, I have a feeling you and Henry could
Speaker 1: talk about the Minecraft all day long, and if we
Speaker 1: ran out of that, we could probably talk about Pokemon
Speaker 1: or into the Spider Verse for another hour or so.
Speaker 1: So is Minecraft actually the sort of thing that is
Speaker 1: appealing to an eight year old and a thirty eight
Speaker 1: year old? I started playing it for the first time,
Speaker 1: I don't know, two or three weeks ago. Some of
Speaker 1: my my friends that I play video games with online,
Speaker 1: they essentially started a private server where it's just all
Speaker 1: of us, like in our homes. We're all just kind
Speaker 1: of creating the city. There's like a town and stuff.
Speaker 1: It's it's just a fun, little low stress game that it's.
Speaker 1: It kills, you know, fifteen minutes, thirty minutes at a time.
Speaker 1: And Jack, I'll let me throw this in that my
Speaker 1: mildly autistic twenty eight year old daughter would be lost
Speaker 1: without it. It's such a great creative outlet and you know,
Speaker 1: it's just a good place to put enter geez um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's It's fabulous. I definitely And I don't have any
Speaker 1: science to back this up, but just from what I
Speaker 1: observe of it, I I feel less guilty as apparent
Speaker 1: with him spending time doing Matt than some of the
Speaker 1: other video games he plays, like when he's playing Donkey Kong.
Speaker 1: I just find I believe anything positive is happening then.
Speaker 1: But the the the thought process and like you said,
Speaker 1: the creativity and everything like that that goes with Minecraft,
Speaker 1: it feels like something positive could be coming out. I
Speaker 1: think you're accurate. I may have even said this on
Speaker 1: the error a day or so ago. But there's there's
Speaker 1: like machines and contraptions that you can build in this
Speaker 1: game that are teaching you the thought patterns of coding
Speaker 1: um and so there's some applications on that. My friends
Speaker 1: who are coders I've have told me this. I know
Speaker 1: very little about coding, but there you're kind of building
Speaker 1: those grooves right, And the experts would agree with you,
Speaker 1: Jack that it is much much better than a lot
Speaker 1: of other choices. I would get into Minecraft myself, but
Speaker 1: if I'm not immediately good at something, I quit and
Speaker 1: angrily say it's stupid. There's a lot more wattering of
Speaker 1: animals that I expected out of any video games, though.
Speaker 1: He's constantly slaughtering sheep and horses and whatever. Wake up.
Speaker 1: That's where comes from, That's where leather comes from. All
Speaker 1: I grow up, Jack,
