Now let's jump into this podcast. Hello everybody it's time for Ghost in the Dog. Good morning. Good morning. We're on Captain Long. Long, Long, Long, Long! In four hour recording studio recording!

Recording! Beep beep! Wake your ass up! It's the Gax and Credo in the morning! Be was drinking water. I got you doing the water drink. You know what I feel good about that. I'm not gonna lie. That's uh it's like when the restaurant and the waiter waitress comes over like how is everything you're like yeah that's what I was going for. I wanted to get I wanted to get you with the like you're eating you're doing your thing but also I'm here to ruin your day. Yeah yeah Yeah. Well, it's been ruined

Well, I'm glad actually I feel like it was ruined last night. I'm so glad I got to watch you fail miserably. I mean Succeed until you failed. Yep. It was uh, it was the closest I've been to the kaizo iron man victory Everything was coming up millhouse and then And then just like no house you failed dramatically yep there's a the one thing I couldn't run into was shed injure we ran into shed engine not only was it just bad because you're like okay well as long as it hits me I have flame body will get burned it had zero contact moves and it had two moves of like 30-40pp and then it had teeter dance to confuse me to make me kill myself.

It was just one of the worst Pokemon. Then the rival at the end who I did end up getting to had like three Pokemon with fighting moves that all would have probably killed me. This shit's cursed dude. It does seem like not correct me if I'm wrong. It seems like there's something in the programming of this game that it is designed to the further you get. So let's be very clear.

We're talking about Kaizo Ironmon. It's a Pokemon thing that Krendor's been trying to do for quite some time. He has, there's like a super Kaizo and a subpar Kaizo and the normal one, which I think is what you were playing, just the normal one. And my man is like at 8,000 runs. He has not beaten it yet.

It is maybe truly one of the funniest things to watch because it's just unfair. It just seems unfair. And it feels like that the further you get in the game, at least this is what it looks like watching you play, it feels like the game is designed to counter you. Like the further you get, the harder things get to the point where like last night you ended up fighting an enemy you literally had no moves against and you counter you like the further you get, the harder things get to the point where like last night you ended up fighting an enemy you literally had no moves against and you just had to wait out and let it use all of its abilities which just took time and was the goofiest thing you've ever seen and then immediately afterwards you go up against a

guy who has three hard counters for your Pokemon and it just seemed. And I think it's like that the thing, is that what happens? Is that why it's that way? Kind of, it's kind of just RNG to the max. Like, so if you don't know what Kaizo Ironmon is, let me, for everybody that's still confused. Please, please. All right, there's Nuzlocke's, right?

People know what Nuzlocke's are for the most part. Do they? You might have to explain. Well okay so we're this is Pokemon Fire Red with a randomizer. So it's Gen 1 2 & 3 Pokemon and in this challenge of Kaizo Ironmon you are allowed one Pokemon. You have to beat the entire game with one Pokemon which has random stats random abilities everything's random except for the typing and the BST which is its base stat value which is the amount of stat points it gets to spend

in stats so really good Pokemon are still good because of that because you have more stat points to spend so so the babies will never be good I'll never have like a toga P win is what what you're saying. Never. That's even that bullshit. All Pokemon are forced to evolve by level, I think 50. Most are 30. So Pokemon that get traded and evolved automatically evolve at level 30. So if you're like, well, how do you trade that one? It just auto evolves. Pokemon learn, ran random moves some but they learn based on what they actually

learn so like Raichu learns zero moves making it a bad Pokemon but Snorlax learns like 13 moves making it really good because you're probably gonna get some moves that you need and so as you could imagine it takes a long time to get a randomized Pokemon that is good. You're just like pulling the slot machine lever and hoping you hit. And then it gets worse. You're not allowed to heal outside of, well, you're allowed to heal, but not in like gyms or caves or anything. So like if you go into a cave and you leave that cave, you can't go back in the cave.

So when you were doing your final four boss rush last night, you could not heal on any of that except during combat. Correct. You can't go back to the start and heal up. So it's a gauntlet. So you can use the heals you've acquired that you found as items. You're not allowed to buy heals. You can only buy pokeballs and repels. All right? So all the items you acquire, all the items are random too. So like hidden items, normal items, whatever. Are just from picking them up off the ground and hoping you're lucky. All right? So that's why everyone's always very strategic

with their item management. It's why if you're at like level 60, you're like, I don't wanna use my max potion here because I might need it if I get to the end game. And then you like really need it, right? So it's kind of like a, do I use it now? But maybe I don't use it now and I die. It's a lot of the statistical management

when it gets to that point. So. I mean, I've watched you statistically manage. Oh yeah. There's many people much better than me. Some people play it at like one mile an hour. I can't do that. But for this run, I did slow down.

And I was doing well up until that point. And here's the thing. The entire run, we had not seen a Shed Inja. And I was like, there's seven Pokemon left. We have not seen a Shed Inja this entire game. People are always like, he doesn't a Shed Inju and I was like there's seven Pokemon left We have not seen a Shed Inju this entire game people are always like he doesn't have Shed Inju coverage I was like guys we have flame body we're fine and it was just the most cursed Shed Inju to show up and it had to be right at the end like just the the RNG that it had to go through for that was just just unbelievable and then you know it's just it is what it is but

and then there's people like why do you do this to yourself well I don't know I just like it it's fun I like RNG I say it's like Pokemon gambling however I do make money while playing it instead of losing money so that is nice while streaming I've gotten to the elite for six times now this was the furthest I've been. In years, multiple years. Yeah some of the well in the last year it's mainly just been super and subpar kaizo which is even harder because in that challenge because all the good Pokemon people like Aure and all them, I ate your pie, have beaten the challenge like numerous times, they beat normal kaizo. I think Rx might have only been once, but they're

like what if we made it harder and you're only allowed to pick up certain items, not all the items, and you're not allowed to like fight as many trainers and you have to pivot in the safari zone to a completely different Pokemon and hope it's good. So nobody's beaten it yet. People have actually gotten to the Elite Four, they've gotten close but they haven't beaten it. Oh that's the other thing that's important, you can't fight wild Pokemon, you can only fight trainers.

So you get a pre-determined amount of experience essentially. There is just like a ludicrous amount of rules is what I'm picking up here. Uh, once you get them all down, it's not bad, but it's definitely a lot to pick up at first. Yeah. I mean, you have to know Pokemon plus you have to know the rules. I mean, I even watched you at the end there when you were trying to figure out how to beat the Shedinja.

Dude was like just toying with your time and you were talking with chat about a flute and you're like what are the rules here and chats like you can and then some people like you can't and it was very clear no one really knew and so some guy I think had to go looking up which says a lot about how many rules there actually are yeah they had to ask the official ironmon discord and I guess they came to some conclusion that some other streamer came to like eight months ago. It was great even Aarix was like I have no idea so it was and really boiled down to like if I had 99 Pokeballs and

Great Balls whatever I bought then I would have been able to keep my items but even then the final champion dude is like had Pokemon with a bunch of fighting moves, which I was weak to. The big thing is the reason the end game is so hard is it is a gauntlet of like five trainers in a row and then they get higher level. So when you're fighting in the mid game or like mid to late game, you're usually like 20, 30, even 40 levels higher than Pokemon you're fighting. But once you get to here, they're like at your level,

slightly below your level, or like the final dude you fight has like Pokemon your level or even slightly higher, like 95 is his last one. So that's what makes it really difficult. Yeah, I saw that as you got to the final guy, he was actually pretty close to you. You were still ahead of him but yeah definitely seemed like if he just had more powerful guys he would die. It is what it is. We tried so hard and got so far and in the end it didn't even matter. It really didn't. So we go again. That's that. I will say you had a lot of people

watching at the end there You were very close. Yeah, well once once somebody's getting close to winning. It's kind of rare to get that far So it becomes like a big spectacle Especially when you've never won before so you're just like oh boy. This could be it and then you know Well at least everyone got to watch you suffer and honestly that's part of the fun That's what it's all about whenever somebody says hey, are you allowed to go do this thing? I'm like is it fun or helpful then probably not that's usually my go to Someone's like can you heal in the lavender town tower? I'm like is it fun or helpful?

And they're like I guess I'm like yep not allowed which it is it is not allowed to heal in those towers I think it's really funny that's the rule of thumb. It's like, would that be helpful to me? Nope, can't do it. Can't do it. So yeah, that was great. That was your week. I don't know what happened.

Last night, I watched you play a little bit after I was done streaming. And then I decided to come home and make dinner. I made Spaghetti and it was great. It was delicious. There's this weird like hot I don't even know how you describe it at the grocery store near me. There's like a hot spaghetti sauce It's like spicy love it, but it's not your normal like chilies or whatever I don't know what the hell's in it, but it's great. So I got that, and I got some sausages that I cut up,

and I put in the thing, and then I just made spaghetti. And I made enough that I had extras. So I was cleaning up, doing my thing, watching you play, and then when I was done, I was like, man, it's still kind of, it's still kind of early. It, you know, it might've been again, like 10 PM. So I was like, it's still, it's still kind of early, which a real person with a real job would be like, dude, go to bed. But I, you know, I was like, I guess I'll like, uh, just do find something to do.

So I started cleaning up around the apartment. like, uh, just do find something to do. So I started cleaning up around the apartment. Next thing I know it is 1 a.m., but I'm not like one. And again, this could be the clock move forward or I don't know my, all my, but I just wasn't tired and it's 1 a.m. and I'm like jacked. I got like that late night. I want to do stuff thing. So then I sit down and I start working on work stuff. I'm sitting here at my computer typing away a script just like in the moment just sitting here drinking the biggest water I've ever seen. I'm like, yeah, oh, that's a good

idea. Amazing. Next thing I look it is 3 30 a.m. I'm like, how the what the hell? So I'm like, I gotta go to bed. So I get into bed and I like pull out my phone because I'm gonna listen to something on YouTube. I'm gonna find like a games done quick or something, right? In fact, I what I settled on eventually because I was in such a Pokemon mood, there's this French girl, I don't know her name. She does ASMR, but she does ASMR where she just reads Pokemon names in English and in French and the French names for I think I brought this up before. I love that video.

There's so much more entertaining than the American names. When you hear the French names for Pokemon, you're like, that just makes more sense. That just makes so much more sense. And, uh, you know, like we have Beedrill and the one they have for it is like, um, it's like a pun based on the three musketeers, like a D'Artagnan pun. It's just, there's so many good ones and it makes me upset. Anyway, so I was like, yeah, listen to this.

But that's what I settled on after being dumb enough to go to YouTube and immediately seeing the front page and getting algorithmed and I clicked a video and then proceeded to watch an hour and a half like deep dive into the secret eldritch mysteries of fallout and I'm like, oh God. So I watched, I didn't actually go to bed till 6 a.m. I was, dude, I was, I could not sleep. I just got got by so many things.

And then I woke up and I don't know, it was maybe like 1.30, two o'clock in the afternoon. And I was like, oh, I feel so tired. What the hell? Oh, man, I feel so tired. What the hell? Oh, why did I, what am I doing? So I was like, well, I'll go back to bed. And then I just laid in bed and couldn't get back to sleep. So I got out, took a shower and then was like, guess I'll make that

leftover spaghetti. It's what I did. And then I was like, I probably got to go to the office and, you know, do the podcast with Crendor and then. No, no, I, I probably got to go to the office and you know, do the podcast with Krendor. And then, nah, nah, I just sat around my house after eating that spaghetti and did nothing and waiting for you to call. I literally have done nothing of value today. I was like, I'll just wait around.

I didn't, when I say did nothing of value, I mean straight up I didn't play a game or do any work or take any time to be a healthy boy or like go for a walk. I just sat on my couch and did nothing. Krendor, I didn't look at my phone. I just sat on my couch and let the sun hit me and was like, ah, I was like a cat, dude. And I thought, I thought it was a few minutes. Dude, when I sat down on that couch, it was 3.30 PM. You said, yo, let's work at five, 5.30. I was like, okay. I sat on that couch and what felt like five, 10 minutes,

I look at the clock, it's 5.27. I'm like, what? What the hell just happened? Time vanished. Is that how cats exist? Because that seems awesome. I did not- Dodie it was crazy. I did nothing of value. I was curious. Funnily enough I was like oh yeah he must be busy today. For some reason. I don't know. I saw you were on Discord and I was like oh yeah he must be busy today for some reason I don't know I saw you were on discord and I was like oh may probably went out

somewhere is doing something no no I just had nothing on no computers were on I just went and sat on my couch and and I the TV I didn't turn the TV on I like didn't do it I just sat on the couch and I was gonna look the TV on. I didn't do it. I just sat on the couch and I was gonna look at Reddit on my phone and I pulled out my phone and then the sun hit me in the right way and I was like, oh, that feels so good.

And I just sat there. Huh. I know, I'm aware. It's as crazy as it sounds it's like when you watch those videos those guys who just look at the Plane's information screen on a like an eight-hour trip and they're like doing raw dog in this flight That was me, but with life for two hours. It was crazy. I was like What is happening to me?

Did you have a stressful week or something where you just no, no, I mean, obviously I was worn out cause I had a terrible night of sleep, but like this week was fine. Everything was chill. I get everything done. I wanted to get done. Uh, yeah, I just, I don't know. I obviously I'm constantly one of those people who thinks I could do better. Right? So I'm always a little bit like, I could, I don't know. Obviously, I'm constantly one of those people who thinks I could do better, right? So I'm always a little bit like, I could do that better, I could make that better.

But it doesn't mean I did anything bad or wrong, you know, that I had a bad week. I just am, you know, that person. So I don't ever consider that to be part of a good or bad week. I just had a great week. I just, yeah, I don't know. I don't know what happened there. I think maybe that's where I belong, truthfully. Huh. Just like a cat laying in the sun.

What I need is like a mommy to take, you know what I mean? Like some rich, rich older woman to take care of me and I'll be her little boy toy. But then when she's gone at work, doing whatever, I'll just lay the sun That's what I need. I feel like this is something you realize Every couple of months, maybe even weeks. Yeah. Yeah, I mean that's my goal if I could get Like the perfect marriage for me is I'm I'm the kept man. You know what I mean? Like that's what I want. I Want to be I want her to be like, she comes home from work, I'm wearing short shorts, she slaps my butt,

and she's like, all right, good looking, did you make dinner? I'm like, I sure did, baby. For some reason I talk like that. Like, I sure did, baby. Right, and then she's like, this was delicious. I'm like, nah, anything for you, boo. Yeah.

Yeah, that is something. Uh, what else did you do this way? I, man, I tried to give Civ 7 another chance. I just, dude, I just can't. I just, I realized that it 100% is not how, like, you know, before I was saying, I don't think it's how I'd like to play Civ. I don't think it's the kind of gameplay I want. It's confirmed now.

I went back in and I tried to play two separate games. The first game I played is Ada Loveless with, I think, the Inca because they had really great early starting units so I could protect myself. My whole goal was to be scientific and cultural and make a bunch of money and just beat everyone that way. That was my plan originally, because everyone's like, dude, Ada Loveless is so good. I was like, all right. So I go in, I make this great starting build thing.

Everything's good. But I'm surrounded by the most aggro people on earth to the south of me. Harriet Tubman once again is back and she is straight up constantly stealing my tech like constantly. So any technical advantage I have over anyone, she is just stealing all the time. And then she's distributing it to all the other factions that she's allied with. I'm like, are you kidding me? And then we had, I don't

know who the other faction was, but she was just expanding in ways that make no sense. And it pisses me off because in that game and the other sieves, the further away you build a settlement from your main settlement or others of yours, the less support they have for you, the less happiness. And eventually they may rebel. Well, in this game, that doesn't exist. And so they're building all over the map. So any plans I have don't matter because they're they're on one side of the map and the other side of the map.

And it's like, how's that possible? Doesn't matter. The game doesn't care. So at a certain point, I suddenly come under attack from everyone. Just and I'm like, all right, well, if I can just manage to make it through this crisis and get into the next age, I should be fine because I have such a technological advantage. It doesn't matter how many units they throw at me. I'll be good.

Make it to the next stage. And in the next stage, the, the, the whatever that is classical age or whatever, you know, the age of exploration and the age of exploration, the game loads up. We just came out of a crisis and two of my cities have changed factions. What? Yep. Somehow, I guess maybe they weren't happy. I don't know.

Everyone seemed fine. I thought everyone was going through the same crises as I was doesn't matter My most northern city joined Catherine the great my most southern city joined with I think it was Harriet Tubman And I was like what I had no control over it. It just happened at some point the game said those belong to them now Huh? I was so mad. I was like, nah, I'm done. I'm going to restart.

I'm going to go full war from the, from the get-go full war. So I picked, um, I think her name is Chung Trak. She's the like the, the dragon of the South. And her whole thing is she's just like, like a rebel leader and she is really good at military. And then I picked a, an expansionist, militaristic faction and it was like, all right, let's go. And I started pumping out soldiers and I was taking over lands. I was expanding rapidly. I was like, this is how you play.

This is how they want us to play this. I'm going to play, but I kill everyone. And every time I met someone, I was like, you, you're dead. Like, uh, yeah. So good. You're dead. Right. Just like immediately declaring war on everyone. Just the entire time I'm at war. My entire government is war-based. My people love war. Everything is war.

I'm like, we're gonna destroy everyone. And so I'm dominating the age of antiquity. I am, we're just like, everyone's getting wrecked. My technology is very, very high. So I just have better units. I have elephant riders at like level three. I've destroyed every single independent city. None existed.

I am bombarding all the animals. I'm like, great. This is amazing. Time of course runs out. We go to the next stage, age of exploration. Little did I know that the game, like all Civs, lets the PCs cheat. So they just produce units, cause I don't think there's any factor that says why they produce units or allows them to do it. The money doesn't matter. The, you know, happiness doesn't matter.

The ability to make it. They just make units constantly. It's been a thing civ games have done forever i've always hated it but at least in passive games you could out uh science them so they may have a thousand horse riders but you've got a giant nuclear robot so like what the hell do you care the difference here is everyone's even again so because i'm constantly at war when we get to the next age i'm'm still, everyone hates me. So the minute I make any move, they immediately declare war. I'm like, all right, let's go. So I'm at war with Frederick.

I take one of his cities. I'm like, this is great. I just have to hold this city. And he sends wave after wave after wave of horse riders. Horse riders who I know take five turns to build. Yet he is producing them at a rate of about five or six per turn. I don't know how that's possible.

And he keeps sending them. So he's just war of attritioning me. He takes two cities and he keeps sending. I'm like, I hate this game. I can't, I can't. Absolutely was done. I was like, I can't, I can't absolutely was done. I was like, I don't, I can't do this anymore. I just can't do this.

Yeah, dude, I don't know. I'll have to, like, I want to try and find the right way to do it. I want to succeed at this game. I want to figure out what the ratio of settlement to cities should be. There's clearly an optimal way to play that I'm not playing, but every time I play the game is like, to war! And then they just attack me! There's nothing I can do! It's crazy! And they don't fear me. In the previous games

they'd be like, damn you've got a very strong military we won't attack you and this one they're like, you little bitch we're coming. I'm like what why it doesn't matter crazy dude I had every time I had a strong military every time they just did not care they were like ha ha ha send send send the millions of men to die and they died I killed a lot of them but they just keep sending them and so it eventually becomes you just building military stuff all the time. Yeah, that does kind of become that, but that's kind of what my strategy ended up being, which is probably why it worked. That's what I'm saying.

That's why I tried to do it. And I was like, oh, okay, I get this. If this is what the game is supposed to be. And in the age of antiquity, I felt like I was a badass. Like I was really doing it. I was winning the game. And then I hit the age of exploration and the game was like, no, don't, don't take the time to build a temple or build anything. It will help your people, um, or, or spread religion,

which is what I was trying to do. They were like, no, no, no, you have to build soldiers because the enemy will not stop. And they were like, we'll declare peace with you. After we've taken two of your cities. I was like, no, what? Why would I do that? And then, uh, yeah, they just kept coming. And I was like, I'm done. I'm, you know, I'm going to play dynasty warriors. And so I did.

It was great. And I had so much fun. I don't know. I don't know what you're doing then. It's like every time I play, I never have any issues against the AI when I'm just like attacking. So maybe it's not attacking enough. Well, oh, for AI when I'm just like attacking. So maybe you're just not attacking enough.

Well, oh, for sure I'm doing something wrong. Like I don't think it's entirely the game's fault. What I know though is the game is designed in a way that is not how I have ever played Civ. Yeah. And I, and I've played six games of Civ. So the fact this one's so drastically different to me mentally, I'm just not clocked in on what I need to be doing.

And it's just driving me crazy. I really genuinely do not enjoy. And I kind of it kind of has the League of Legends vibe. We're like, I want to I just want to win. And I simply can't. And it's angering me and I don't want to play. But at the same time, I keep going back because I want the win You should try Mongolia, I mean I do like the idea of Mongolia and

The horsemen and expansionism and stuff, but part of my strategy now is I want to get to the second age and just spam ships, spam, like do what it wants, you know like the whole idea of that age is you're supposed to branch out rapidly and I just want to do what it says to do but I don't know man, I'm just not good at it. You can do that as Mongolia, you spam horse archers, then you explain That's all I did you that's all right. I'll give Mongolia a shot. I'll try it. Yeah, just try Mongolia I think that's probably my favorite one because horse archers you can just shoot people from afar. They're strong

They got good mobility, and then you're as good and expanding Can I be Chung track or whatever her name is? Because one, she's awesome and two, for some reason, very attractive. I don't know why that is. I look at her in-game and I'm like, am I attracted to this video game rebellion character? The answer is yes. The answer is yes. And we'll see. We'll see. We'll see if I

enjoy anymore. But yeah, every time I play I end up tapping out at some point during the Age of Exploration. I've never seen the Modern Age. That... honestly, when I got to the Modern Age, the one time I made it, I'd never fought anybody and never got attacked because I was too powerful and then I just won. I believe that.

I believe that. So it was actually pretty boring. I mean, that's the goal. That's what I want. I want that. But... Yeah. It was, I mean,'s the goal, that's what I want. I want that. But. Yeah. It was, I mean it was kind of boring, but it is definitely your type of thing.

That's what I wanna play though. That's, yeah, that's my, I want that boring future. I don't like dystopian hellscapes. I want a future where everyone's like, we're going to space. Let's go friends. And everyone's like, yeah, high fives. Like that's what I want.

Yeah, I mean, try Mongolia.ives. Like, that's what I want. Pfft. Yeah, I mean... Pfft. Try Mongolian. Alright, I'll give it a shot. I'll give Mongolia a shot and see if I can dominate the world. Yeah, I mean, who knows? Maybe you'll like them, and you'll be like, this is great.

Or... Boy, I love these Mongolians. They're cool. Heh. Uh, or, you know, maybe at some point they'll add an expansion that adds more things that'll help you out maybe maybe maybe we'll see yeah so what so what was your

week I really didn't do that much be honest I kind of streamed went to the gym pretty normal boring week actually but I I like that. I mean I get it. I wrote down a thing where at breakfast we sat by these two older people and she was like, the price of eggs is disgusting. She was like a British woman. Yeah, no, I got that from the accent. And then he was like, hey, you see, they're pretty pricey. That was... I wrote that down because she said it was disgusting.

So I thought that was funny. I mean, that's no different than my parents. My mom and dad. Oh my God. We went to a farmer's market on Saturday and, uh, yeah, my mom loved, she was talking about the price of eggs. She's like, Oh, is it so expensive? We downtown they're selling eggs.

Like they sell single cigarettes there's just dudes downtown like hey man I got one egg for you you want that egg you want that egg yeah the worst part was is my only are tough. I didn't realize that people were eating so many eggs but I guess it makes sense like a lot of things have eggs in them. Plus there was a point where they were cheap and you catch it like you know eggs were the thing you

would eat because it's protein you could do that. Yeah it's well I guess that's the the the problem. It's a, well, I guess that's the, the, the problem when there's a thing killing off birds that lay the eggs. Yeah. Obviously the price of eggs is high. That's a thing we've been talking about for so long. Uh, they have not come down and then plus adding bird flu and things, it makes it way worse. So on the news when they were like,

really, Americans should start to look into maybe like having chickens for themselves. And first off, that's an insane thing to say to most people. But second off, if there's a bird flu just killing chickens, how does having a chicken help you keep eggs? Like, there's no way that makes sense, but you know whatever it's just people on TV talking who really don't know a damn thing which is crazy to me

there I'm convinced the people who talk on TV know exactly as much as you and I do except they have a platform on TV so people think they know more 100% that's absolutely true that is 100% true. Like the vast majority, at least, or a lot of times they just create hypothetical situations and then try to answer those hypothetical situations they've created. The whole idea is a bunch of people get together, sit around and talk about things that haven't happened yet as if they know what will happen.

Yeah, they do that in sports a lot. sit around and talk about things that haven't happened yet as if they know what will happen. Yeah, it's they do that in sports a lot. They'll be like, what would happen if this player went to this thing? They'll be like, well, let me tell you what would happen. It's like number one, they haven't gone there. Number two, you don't know what would happen. Yeah. Yeah. They do that constantly because it just creates stuff to talk about when there's nothing to talk about. I mean, it's the same thing as when you go on TikTok, for example, there's some TikTok app thing. I don't know, man. That's not my zone. But it's one of those things where it's like a filter and you put it on and when you film yourself, it does like, these are the heroes that will protect you and these are the ones that will attack you.

And so it's just like dudes talking about which Marvel heroes are the best to defend against other. And it's like, all right, you're just making content. Like I get it. And that's, there's no difference in my mind to what you were just talking about in that. Yeah, no, it's all the same. Cause I mean, it works.

It is a method that works. And so they just put it into like every category. Yeah. I mean you can do it in video games, you can be like, what if this video game added this feature from this game? It's like, they haven't, but let's talk about what would happen if they did, right? Like you're just creating stuff just to talk about it, to generate views. Yeah, I mean that's the whole thing about, you know, FromSoft games being very hard and people being like, what about difficulty toggle?

And then everyone gets all worked up and they start having conversations about it. But really, truly, that's just not a thing. None of the games have a difficulty toggle. So why are we talking about it? Like, what if they did? They just don't. And that's a design choice.

So why are we gonna, like, there are a million, a million other games to play. You don't have to's a design choice. So why are we going to like there are million, a million other games to play. You don't have to play that one. And it's, and I always think it's funny cause like, well, what if they did? It's like, what if they did, you know, okay. And they didn't, they didn't do that. It's not something that will ever happen. So, we're just getting worked up for no reason. Yeah, but it works. It does, it gets views, that's for sure. Yeah, so, yeah, it sucks.

It sucks, indeed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it feels like that's the across the board how I feel lately. Everything kind of sucks sucks to the point where I like don't want to interact with social media at all because I'm just over it. I don't want to interact with like TV shows. Just in general, most TV sucks. It genuinely sucks. I really am spending a lot more time playing comfort video games and reading books like almost an adult. It feels like I'm almost there. And then I, you know, I'm doing things like taking care of my apartment like an adult,

which is doing laundry instead of letting laundry pile up in the hamper, like actually doing things instead of just scrolling on my phone and it feels great unless it's today in which case I did nothing yeah it's yeah I've been trying to like avoid social media stuff as well but I feel like that's I feel like everybody's trying to do that. There's nobody, I keep, I don't think I've ever heard somebody go like, man, you know what I'm trying to do? Look at social media more.

It's really great going on there. Oh, absolutely. I think the thing is that our jobs require us to, we have to maintain a presence. Like it's absolutely backwards that a lot of companies will work with you depending on how many followers you have on Instagram or TikTok or you know, Twitter or whatever. Right. And it's about your interactivity with them. That's why you see a lot

of people post stuff online to get engagement so they can go to brands and say, look, how many people interact with me when I post online. Like that Really why a lot of it and I just have stopped doing that to the point where I don't think I can't care anymore And if it hurts me it hurts me like I just I just don't care and now I'm just as an example on Twitter To give you an idea. Usually I'd post sometimes I would post I Don't know two three times a day different things post I don't know two three times a day different things today I reposted the thing from a game I'm working on then the post after that was two days ago the post after that was four days ago and the post up I had two posts that day from four days ago the one of that was literally last Monday and the one after

that was on the first of March, like genuinely not. I'm purposefully avoiding it because every time I go on there I get upset about something and I want to just fight with, I saw a thing about a mod that people made that makes people in Steam games look better and like, you know, look sexier. And I just wanted to yell because the guy who posted, this is the future we need. This is what modding community is about. Is also the guy who said, do not change Elden Ring.

It should be difficult. And I was like, the hypocrisy. I was about to the hypocrisy. I was about to be so mad, like, so you're saying shout out to modders for changing the way the game is, but also don't change the way this game is. And I just wanted to go off.

And I was like, no, I just don't. If I do, it's not gonna be, hey, everyone supports Jesse. It's gonna be the people that support me are gonna like what I did. And then all this dude's followers are gonna come attack me And I'm gonna have to deal with looking at that for a day and a half I was like nah, I just don't care anymore like screw it Yeah

Yeah, it's Especially when we've been doing as long as we have it's just like you just don't care It's like when we talk about when the old people are just like, why's that old person doing that? It's like, I think they just don't care. Like, yeah. And honestly, it's because of, I don't want to say trial and error, but it's experience. When I do care about something passionately,

the amount of just grief I get for expressing that is, you know what? I'll care about in private. I don't need to share it with the world. If I think that guy's a hypocrite, I know he's a hypocrite. I don't need to make a giant tweet about it. I'm just going to believe it and know it and move on with my life because I sure as hell don't have the patience to deal with all the, and I'm going to say it truly dumb people that exist on social media.

There's just a lot of them. It's, we, we sometimes forget social media is for everyone. Even the stupidest dumbest people that ever lived with zero media literacy. And you know what? I don't want to talk with them. I don't do it in real life and I sure as hell not going to do it online. And there's also bots there now. Lots of bots. You know what? I'm fine with the bots.

The bots have become very respectful. The bots used to be like, check out my hot boobs. And now the boobs are in the picture of the avatar, and the bots are like, you are one of the best streamers that ever was. We think you're, you know what? Honestly love that.

I don't care. That's true. I have had a lot of those recently where it's like, the comments are just like, I really enjoyed the creative effort and inspiration you put in this video. And I'm like, wow, thanks. Yeah, yeah.

And they're always the first, they always get the first slot. They're always there to cheer me on. I'm gonna go to my YouTube page right now and just Most of the comments I realize what they're about. It's not about Monster Hunter. Most of the comments are about the fact that I said That I think a five out of ten is is a middle game It's like an average game and we need to change video game reviews because they're out of whack Which is not a hot button issue

I just think when people get upset that a game gets a 7 or 8 out of 10 then it ruins the whole point of having a 10 point grading scale so why the hell are we... like it's just it's not new it's not a new thought I had it's just I was reaffirming what I believe and people are like, I think you're wrong like okay uh I mean I I get it it's like it's kind of like if

you say something's amazing you have a 10 out of 10 but then you give something else that's kind of whatever 10 out of 10 it's like you kind of lose no no you lose the the value of the scale it's like you need, just cause something's a seven, doesn't mean it's bad, right? Like it's still, if it's a seven, it's still probably pretty solid. At least that's what I think. Yeah, no, a seven is a good game.

An eight is a better than good game. Like a 10 is perfect, like a perfect flawless game. There shouldn't really be a lot of 10s to be honest. And it's weird to me that a five is, perfect, like a perfect flawless game. There shouldn't really be a lot of tens to be honest. And it's weird to me that a five is a seven really. When really a five should be this game is average. It's fun. It's got problems, but it's fun. And there's a lot of games that I love that I would consider fives, but saying something, it just makes me crazy. And I feel like it's a little bit IGN for the eight out of tens. It's a little bit the fact that American education system

is like a 50% is an F when really 50 is half. So you know, like it's, it's that kind of vibe where people are like 50 is shit. And that's, it drives me crazy. And I was just explaining that. And then a lot of people like, you're trash. I think you suck. However, shout out to this one guy I just read who said that, um, man, I'm so happy for this podcast. They really got that skimity Riz for the retirement home age of us from the co-optional podcast times.

And honestly, that's what I need to hear. That's what I, that's the comments I want. I want to be called a skimvy Rizler is what I want. Honestly, I feel like you need to be skivvy Riz Unc. Riz Unc? You know what? Being Unc, I'm fine with that. I don't I feel like I'm not cool enough. You know what I mean? I feel like being called Unc, you got to be cool. I might be a funkel you know like that's like a fun uncle not necessarily cool but it's fun guy Unc that guy's cool Unc shows up to the party late he brings a six-packs and

he's like hey what's up dude he's got like a different girl with him every time and I was like oh damn Unc playing games again like that's that's a different vibe I don't have that yeah people do tend to like the unks they're like the cool old people yeah I'm definitely a funko I'm like let's get ice cream kids like that's me I'm like y'all want to go see the new movie the new movie yep yeah you know the new movie I didn't want to say what movie in particular because I don't know what movies are out right now but you know yeah the new movie the new movie well you know what is out right now

I guess, you know, some people think of traffic as like, oh, everything's backed up, but I mean, traffic's just cars on the road, right? It's just cars moving around, trying to get places.

A traffic jam would be when things aren't moving. So as of right now, nothing's jammed. It's all normal traffic. Thank you. now. Nothing's jammed. It's all normal traffic. I feel like somewhere along the lines, traffic became sort of your philosophical discussions about life and what it means to drive. Like there's just, you're like, what is a jam? Really? What is a drive? A Jane? A traffic. I will say this past week it rained in LA. Uh, and so driving around, what a mess. Just truly awful. I will say this past week it rained in LA. And so driving around, what a mess.

Just truly awful. Oh yeah. I watched someone in like a very small, I was trying to think of the name of the car, but I just don't remember it. Like a very small car next to one of those Waymos, the self-automated cars. The self-automated car was driving

about 100 times better. This person in their small car was hitting the brake, like freaking out, wiping their windshield because they clearly just didn't have their defog or whatever. They were a mess. And I was behind them like, I'm going to die here, aren't I? These people are going to slam on the brakes. Meanwhile, the robot car is like, do do do do do do do. Rain is fine. I am good. Couldn't believe it. I'm going to. Meanwhile, the robot cars like to do it.

Rain is fine. I am good. Couldn't believe it. I was like, how's that safer? I would think the thing that relies on cameras getting sprayed with rain would be a problem. But no, totally fine. There are some people that are actually the dude. I can't stand the people when they break like 80 times in two seconds. There's like, yes, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat. I couldn't, I couldn't figure out what it was. The thing is is that this city, because there's also, um,

just not a lot of rain when it does rain, the streets get very slick and the concrete will just tear up quickly. Like it's then cracks or whatever. It dries out so much that when it starts to rain and people hit it, potholes form rapidly when it rains. And so I was trying to avoid potholes, avoid drivers who don't know what they're doing and still getting stuck behind this person in their tiny baby car as they straight up were just like, like trying to figure out what to do, wiping the... Boy, it truly makes me regret wanting to live in a city where driving is the key and so few people actually know how to drive.

Yeah, that's not good. It is not. It's kind of like when it snows in the south and then everything falls apart. Same vibe. If literally anything happens in LA, it falls apart. Except earthquakes. Except there is no one this morning. Maybe it was last night.

My room started shaking and I was just laying there and I was like, if the rooms is shaken, the earth's a quake. And I just thought it was really funny. And I'm so stupid. I did that to myself. I made a joke to myself and laughed. That's, I mean, you know, sometimes you gotta make yourself live. Sometimes you do. That's all I do anymore. That's all I do. I'm very good at amusing only me. Most people, they're like, this guy's weird. Me, I enjoy amusing myself.

That's the traffic. All right, let's go to weather. Ooh, weather. We've got requests for the weather. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Weather request for San Sebastian,ostia Spain the most beautiful city in the whole of Spain and allegedly founded by pirates what now allegedly

founded by pirates what does that mean I gotta I gotta I might have to go to the wiki on this yeah it's allegedly founded by pirates they said okay let's see San Sebastian Spain or is it Sebastian donostia Spain 55 degrees feels like 53 humidity 60% pressure 29.48 inches visibility 7 miles 728 m am sunrise 708 p.m. sunset winds at nine

miles an hour dew point 41 UV 0 moon phase waxing gibbous 10 day 65 on Monday mostly sunny Tuesday 57 with a.m. rain showers on Wednesday Thursday more showers 54 Friday a.m. showers 54 Saturday 53 with showers Sunday 53 with showers and Monday 58 with showers a lot of 50s and rain over there geographically it is right almost in France yeah It is right near Bordeaux. It does. It definitely has that port, you know, royal vibe to it because it has a straight up just port in the middle of it. Either way, I went to the wiki to figure out what this place's history was and it's much older than I thought. I guess everything in Europe really is, but apparently in prehistoric times, it

was the S the settlement of, um, does Zang, Zangana sure. Um, but apparently 22,000 BC they found stuff from. And then there were Roman settlements in 50 and 200 AD. And then in the middle ages, there were no written records about what was there until 1014, when suddenly they started talking about apple orchards that were used for ciders. I'm trying to find pirates. I know that during the 1400s, it's, you know, where boats were, they definitely had like fleets and stuff there. I just don't know.

It's cool though. This place is gorgeous. Yeah, it really is. But I would imagine most places, I really want to go to Spain. I feel like most places in Spain seem pretty gorgeous. Especially when they're on the water, I'd say. It does have some cool places though. I found the Ogi Berry. The Ogi Berry, not the Ogi Berry? OGI Berry.

I wonder if that's called Ogi Berry, you know what I mean? It's probably not. Or if it's like, Ogi, Ogi Berry. It's probably like Ogi Berry, yeah. I like Ogi Berry, it's kinda like Yogi Bear like Ogie Barry's kind of yogi bear. I mean Shout out to like looking at a bodega. That's just serving like delicious meats also shout to bar sport Dude, I only have bar sports wait bar sport isn't a sports bar What bar sports literally looks like a real ass delicious restaurant where they serve everything

to you from the bar. Like you go up to the counter and you eat at the counter and everything's, I thought this bar sport was just a funny play on sports bar. But it's literally like some of the most delicious looking food. Oh my god, yeah you're right but just served at the bar I love that that's a great that's a fun concept that is really cool you get in you eat your food you stand at the bar yum yum and then you move on

yeah no actually it's really cool I was about to be like they got a place called Bar Sport, it's a sports bar. Not even remotely. Yeah, wow. It's just like a goofy sport bar, but it's actually a legit thing. That's in fact... I'm looking at the restaurants in the area. They have a lot of bar restaurants that are just you walk up to a counter. Crazy. Interesting. Yeah, I didn't realize that was a thing. They have a lot of bar restaurants that are just you walk up to a counter

Crazy interest. Yeah, I didn't realize there's a thing is maybe it's uh, maybe Maybe culturally maybe that's maybe that's why because you know the whole like siesta situation, right so Maybe because they eat at different hours or the way they eat and what they prefer like, you know It changes how you eat. I don't know Fascinating. Yeah Well, that's the weather Damn even the even the coffee place is a counter with like three seats

Maybe because everyone sits outside is the vibe. I think you're right. Yeah, that explains everything. Okay, sorry. And that's, that's the weather. All right, let's go to sports sports. Oh boy. We got sports. You said that with the conviction of a man who was like, eh, sports. Um, this looks like a Buffalo Bills reach record deal with Josh Allen because they definitely need them. The Steelers are trading for DK Metcalf from the Seahawks. That's pretty big. I mean they could use any help they can get to be honest so. Yep, they definitely could. The NBA standings, we got the Cleveland Cavaliers in first

still. Don't think anyone's catching them. And we got the Thunder also in first, don't think anyone's catching them either. Almost to the playoffs. Uh... Playoffs! Playoffs! NHL standings, we've got the... Hold on here...

Uh... Conference... Washington Capitals, the Panthers and the Hurricanes up top top and then we got the Winnipeg Jets Dallas Stars and the Vegas Golden Knights up top. They're also getting close to the playoffs and spring training Still going in baseball. It's it's in full force now That's boards Alright

What is going on with our fact of the day? Fact of the day. Day. Day. Oh, that's kind of relatable. Spanish national anthem has no words. Really? The Marcha Real,

that's probably not how you say it, is one of only four national anthems in the world, along with those of Bosnia, Herzegovina, Kosovo, and San Marino that have no official lyrics. I just wanna say to everyone in those places, we await your pronunciation correction. I cannot wait, I cannot wait to hear it. What's weird about that is most national anthems, I don't think start with lyrics.

People add them later. Really? I didn't know that. Or they have lyrics they then, like lyrics for something else like a poem or something, they then put to music. Or they have the music and they put a poem to, like, I guess what I'm trying to say is,

I feel like someone would eventually just add lyrics. Like, is there a rule that they say don't add lyrics? Because I feel like people want to say, like, you know, they hear the song and they want to say something, you know? They want to be like, we love Spain. it's a good place they have lots of food and it's served at a nice pace you know like you know someone better than me clearly but they're having honestly I tend to prefer

music without lyrics a lot of time so I get it sometimes you just feel the you feel the rhythm yeah but but what you what you prefer is like music that has like a beat and like and then has like a drop I don't I'm gonna go on a limb and say the Spanish national anthem doesn't have that yeah that's maybe they would says the macho real the national anthem of Spain. Oh, yeah, no, and it definitely says it doesn't have lyrics I'm looking at it right now No, oh no official lyrics. Although many different lyrics have been made in the past. That's I was about to say surely Someone would have added lyrics. Yeah, that makes sense then. And yeah, the very first YouTube video

is lyrics to the song. And it says here that it was originally a military march, not a song. So that's why. That's, I mean, that's what it sounds like. It definitely sounds like a marching song. Yeah. And I guess La Marcha would make sense.

That really would. Yep. Yep. Well, here you go, interesting. That was a good thing. All right, has anyone come to us with tears in their eyes yep we got dear lustrous sirs I come before you with tears in my eyes and cellulite in my thighs and ask of thee if either of you

to inherit the other's YouTube channel what's the first video you would post and why I would I would continue tradition. I wouldn't change anything. I think I would just get even more out there and I'd be like, top 10 door handles, top 10 patterns on tiles, top 10 colors of blue in the game. You know, I get like real out there with it. Yeah, you're going real out there with it yeah

you're going real out there I mean even the door handles is still something I probably do when you both the last one you said the blue that's top ten color blue yeah top ten color blue that's pretty good yeah that's that's yeah top ten grass patterns all the good ones yeah yeah you just got to go the extra step instead of top ten grass grass patterns Top ten child haircuts in game

Good one. That's pretty good. That's definitely one of them I Think I would just make the Skyrim. let's play and I know people that love it people be like he's making it he's making it and I'd be like it is I crendor to play it but it would happen I love that yeah so here we are the next one is dear lustrous serves with tears my eyes I look upon you in stupefaction and ask,

If you were wizards, what kind of wizards would you be and what would your wizard towers be like? PS fun fact, every odd number has an E in it. You can't do both of those things, now that's what I'm thinking about. I was trying to wonder if you said power or tower. Tower. I was trying to wonder if you said power or tower tower town alright, so the question is What kind of wizard would be and what kind of tower would we have yeah? This is easy. I want to be Literally likes like Solomon I want to be an old white wizard with a long white beard in a white robe in a giant black tower

And I just have a bunch of orcs and I go to war. That's what I want. That's all I want. I want that power. And you just do that nonstop. Yeah, I'd be like Gandalf, the eye of Sauron is here. Like, yeah, that's that's what I want. I want to be that guy. Now, if I didn't have to have a tower and I could just be a wizard,

I want to be like one of those cool secret street wizards. Like whatever the hell Nick Cage was supposed to be in The Wizard's Apprentice. Like I want to be that. Where it's like I run an old shop with antiquities and things and I, you know, have fireballs. But I also, you know, just hang out in the street and eat a falafel. I like it. That was pretty good. Yeah, that's what I want.

I would be some sort of Drew. I'd be like Radagast the brown. I'd be like I'd have a rabbit sled. Birds living in your hair. Yeah. Yeah I don't know if I'd allow that but I'd be a little bit of a cleaner Radagast the brown. I'd be like Radagast the green. Sure, sure. You're more about the plants than you are about birds pooping in your hair. Yeah, and like squirrels run around. You know, definitely have those. We'd have like skunk guards

that spray everybody to get close. Skunk guards? Yeah, skunk guards. Uh, yeah. I mean, I love that's the way you went because you could have said I have like a wolf pack that guards me or I have badger soldiers you were like no I've skunks because they'll make you smell.

Yeah, nobody wants that. Nobody wants that you're right. And you don't want to be stinky next to all your allies they're gonna be like oh I can't fight man you stink. Yeah and I would have like a cool tower though But it'd be like in a cave like one of those inside the cave towers that be kind of sick I Like that like they have a fortress, but you have to go deep into a cave to see it But then it's like massive yeah

It'd be kind of would it be kind of like that place in Elden Ring that looked like it was nighttime, but it was underground um Like whatever those lost cities were? That would actually be kind of cool. I wasn't thinking of that. Well, it looked like there were stars but then you had like a giant, you know, fortress but it's in a cave underground. Yeah. I actually like that. Yeah, it'd be like that. It'd be awesome. You know what? I'm here to help you make that happen.

Thank you very much. Whenever you're ready to move into a cave underground, you let me know, man. I will. I'll put little glow in theark stickers on the roof of the cave for you. Thank you. There we go, that's the Dyrallus research. Alright! What is our big news story of the day? Big news story of the day, day, day.

Day. of the day day day day day Pokemon shaped Cheeto sells at auction for eighty seven thousand eight hundred and forty dollars it's so messed up that you don't even need to tell me what Pokemon it is I already know it's a Charizard yep I knew it it always every time anyone sells Pokemon for a lot of money Especially Cheeto shaped so I know it's gonna be red yep Charizard. It's not gonna be a Pikachu It's not gonna be a Charizard. You are correct because 60 people attempted to buy the Cheeto Zard a Cheeto shaped like beloved Pokemon Charizard

A Cheeto shaped like beloved Pokemon Charizard, selling for $87,840. The Golden Auction House listed the snack as sold on Sunday. Presented as a 3 inch long, flaming hot Cheeto in the shape of a Pokemon Charizard affixed to a customized Pokemon card and encapsulated in a clear card storage box. The auction's description states, it was initially discovered and preserved sometime between 2018 and 2022. The Cheeto surged in popularity on social media and... COVID was a hell of a time, man. Yeah.

Well guys, I found a Cheeto. Let's make a Pokemon card out of it. One, here it is. It somehow actually looks very much like Charizard. It actually does. Like it's, it is kinda weird. I don't know why it says made in China on it, but... That must be on Pokemon cards or something, they just mimicked it.

I guess, I were 60 bids on uniquely shaped snack the winning bid was 72,000 plus a buyer's premium. That's insane. That's the power of social media man that it's literally just a funny shaped Cheeto. Yeah. It looks like a flaming hot Cheeto and I'm telling you because social

media picked it up and went with it, someone bought it because clout, I guess. Yeah. That's crazy. If only we had found the Cheeto Zard. Yeah, we need to virally make something of ours very popular so people buy it. Yeah. And I don't like out of a Cheeto though. Yeah, like we need the Cox and Crandoor bath water version, something we can easily make that people will buy and you know, everyone will have questions why you bought it, but it doesn't matter cause we'll still have the money. That's, that's what we need. Yeah. I don't know what that is, but yeah,

we got to figure it out. I don't know either. The blanket that Jesse Cox laid on in the sun, wasting time. That's you know what? I still have that. I'm not gonna give it up though. That's my Aloy blanket. I'm not gonna, can't give that up. Can't give that up. Can't give that up. Man, this might be harder than...

Yeah, I don't think we have a thing. We need to discover it. And then, you know, like we could have used those mice that we found at the Myers, but that was already a thing that someone else had. We were there because of someone else. Yeah, exactly. So we need to get there in advance. We need to like go scope out stuff, find a thing, and then make that the popular thing that we can then sell to people.

Yeah. That's a great idea. Yeah, it's like the workings of an idea. It's like a plan of an idea. And one day that plan may turn into a thing that might be good. Right, right. That plan will then become a plan of action. Yeah. Right? And then that plan of action will have to adjust core. Someone will have to, yeah, we'll get there. We'll get there. We'll get there And that's it All right. Well, that's it for us. Thanks so much for listening or watching. I'm enjoying this show Krendor hit them with socials
