What? What's so funny? Just the 3-2-1 of my just the defense. No, I was also laughing at just like, you know, we're just not in the intros. You know what I mean? I was like, oh, we're not in that intro. You know what I mean? Where are we?

Oh, snap. You're talking about in that? Yeah, yeah, we're not in the intro. We should, we got to be in there. I asked Andy if he could make me a sim. And he said, I need more of a video game character than that. I mean, it's very, you just put the plum bob on your head. Put the fucking plum bob on there.

What is up, everybody? And welcome back to the kind of funny games. Guys, for July 3rd, 2025, the day before America's birthday. I'm Roger McCordy. I'm joined by Snow Bike, Mike. Hi, Roger. Okay, you got to meet me halfway. We got it.

Me, your blessing got the damp down. You got to get the dab down. We got to figure it out. We got to figure out. Happy Thursday, Roger. We spent all week together. We probably shouldn't be together, but I love being with you. We got to, you and I need to break up a little bit.

We need some days removed. We need weeks removed. And all, you and I have just been just destroying it. We did an incredible marathon stream. We went from Friday at 1 p.m. around there all the way until Tuesday at 5 a.m. Yes, that's correct. Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot of work right there.

And now we're here. We're back. We're doing a games. And today we're going to be talking all about our stream, answering your questions, and just kind of bullshit. And Mike has two movie reviews. he's going to do for us. And yeah, the title of this episode is Roger and Mike are barely alive because that's

what's happening right now. We are just kind of barely holding on. But we're hanging on for the audience and you guys get to see us just absolutely just fall apart. Mike was saying insane shit this morning. Sending it. Just present. Just absolutely. I saw Jurassic Park.

That's why. And I'm high right now because I love Jurassic Park. I'm such a worldly. Yeah, such a worldy. And like a lot of people try to tear this movie down. People saying F's in the chat. Uh-oh. And I'm out here enjoying it.

I'll stream down. Uh-oh. You know what? I'm going to talk about Jurassic World anyway. Because here's the deal. Gotta talk about it. A lot of people are saying, yo,

this movie sucks. Yeah. And I would fight back and say, when have the movies ever been good since the first one? Great call. So why not go out and look at some cool CGI dinos and enjoy yourself? Yeah, so tell me about your experience, right? Like you go in there.

You said you're 15 minutes. Oh, my God. I went to this beautiful movie theater. Can we take them all really quick? Went to the most magical movie theater I've ever seen in my entire life, Roger. I mean, this was the whimsy. This was the moment where I was like, oh, I could get caught up and watching movies. In another life, this is my childhood movie theater.

Mike is Nick Scarpina where I love movies. Do you want docs yourself? Where is it? Down in Palo Alto. Oh. You know what I mean? I'm a Stanford kid. Oh, it's actually nice.

It's like recliners and everything? Roger. Which one is this one? It's a mix of recliners and it's got D-Boxerclars. Oh, fuck D-Box. No, no, no, get this. You know when you go to D-Box and it feels like you're on the great California tour or Star Wars tour ride?

No, no, these are the nice super recliners, but they jostle you like D-Box. Whoa. And then they got couch seats, the two super recliner. It's not like an AMC or anything, right? This is like a weird, it's a luxury one? Century. No.

Dude, this is nice. You got to, okay, I got to go here. This is nice. They got a beautiful fountain in front of the plazzo. Because Lanz and I have been going down the coast. We've been hanging out a lot in the, the Palo Alto area. So, like, I haven't been, because every time we're down there, we're like, let's go to watch a movie and we're like, oh, why don't, you know what the worst thing is when you go to see, go to a movie theater on, like, on a whim.

And you're like, oh, let's go see this movie. And it's the worst seats ever. And the place kind of smells a little bit. And there's, like, you never want to, like, have. Oh, no, that's not this. I'm a man of comfort and safety when it comes to my movie theaters. I know the two movie theaters I go to. And I know one that I go to sometimes when some people force me to go to.

The fucking mall one. The fucking mall one. The fucking mall one. No. Well, also I don't like the best of you know. I guess I don't like most of these things. I haven't been to the kabuki yet. I'm going to go to the school.

Too hot. Oh, okay. Kabuki has like this weird like all glass window plaza entrance and they get super hot. Like it's a greenhouse effect. Yeah. Which then means the movie is super hot. It's like I'm coming to the movie for the AC and the cool down. I'm not coming to be super hot.

No. So there I was in this beautiful, magical movie theater. It's a movie theater. No, it's a movie theater. Fuck yeah. I fucking hate the mall movie theater. Now, get this. You walk into this theater in particular.

It has a mix of seats. It has your normal, super comfortable recliners. It has the couch recliners, meaning it's two seats put together minus the middle armrest so you can cuddle up, okay? Then it's got the reclining D boxes. So it's got a mishmatch of everything. But the coolest part, Roger, it's this beautiful octagon layout. And so you're looking around with these great lights all around you, big screen.

And then on top. the roof goes up. Like it's like a beautiful Pavilion. Is this one? That one right there. Yeah. Yeah.

Roger. I mean, this is what movies, this is what magic is made of. Yeah. And so I sat down there. How close to falling asleep did you get to? You know what?

When it comes to dinoes, never. You know what I mean? That's the difference. Mario, I'll fall asleep during. Dinos, I never will. And so I really enjoyed Jurassic Park. It had a lot of fun.

Great moments at the beginning. Wow. Wow, this is nice. Yeah, thank you, Roger. I'm telling you, this. I'm a complimenting you. I know. Thank you.

Thank you. Like, I made the movie theater. Thank you. I put forth the work on that one. And so, yeah, really happy. Wow, that's exciting. Well, you're going to have two movie reviews. We're going to make you do both of them.

You're going to do that one and also heads of state you did, which you don't want to do, but we're going to make you do that.

We gotta talk about there's a guy named Ted that he don't like but also we gotta talk about Ted the movie and the show. And the animated show they're making.

Roger and Andy taught me, and I got it down. Yeah, you're perfect. I go in, I put one image down. I said, that's the background. And I put my photo down, I said, that's me. And I'm anything else? You message Washington, you say, do this for me. I cut out the side and say, that's good.

That's good. I can go text on them, too. I go crazy. You go crazy with the text. If you're a kind of funny member, today's Gregway, is for me, it's 30 minutes about how the Democratic Party needs to change. Wow, that's what you chose. Yeah.

I'm going deep on talking about Zora Mamdani and how they're, how they're rat fucking him. Based. Thank you. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Delaney, the Somme, twining, Carl Jacobs, and Omega Buster. Today we're brought to you by Cash App and Mood, but we'll tell you all about that later. For now, let's start with topic of the show. Tots, dot, dot, dot, dot. Mike and Roger don't know who we are, and we might not be real.

That is the topic of the show. What were you going to say? just Mike like just kind of frantically searching things up I in my head he's searching up Zoran Mamdani the Democratic Party he's up to serve mom donnie rap fucking fucking rogerset it's it's like a it's like a term you know what I mean well I mean yeah they all came up with the right stuff okay cool I let's make sure they try to stop this they're trying to stop they're trying to stop they're trying to stop Mike you and I of course freaked it over the course of about four and a half day

We played death straining two for a long, long time. We also ate a lot of food. We also ate a lot of food. We also sat down and took a lot of breaks, but you got to be healthy. You know what I mean? A lot of people are saying, oh, every time I show up to the stream,

you guys are sitting down. Okay, but you're coming into the stream when you're relaxing. Wrong time. Yeah, wrong time, wrong place. You came during my break. My mandated California break. I didn't realize you were part of a union, Mike. Yeah.

Yeah, Mike and I unionized while we were inside there. That's what happened right there. But we did it. We have not finished the game yet. We are probably four hours away from finishing it. Will we finish it today? We will see. But let's just talk generally about the stream, how it went.

Mike, your perspective, of course, you were walking on a treadmill going step for step with Norman Redis. We were using treadmills provided to us by ProForm Fitness, which is really cool, not sponsored, but they sent over some really cool a treadmill and a bike for us to hop on and go. and Mike, you were absolutely getting after it. How many miles did you get in? We walked a grand total of 55 miles. Wow.

Over the weekend. That was a shared family one. Roger walked a good. I like to give Roger five. Roger might have been about seven. No, but I don't want him to take away from my shine. So he gets five.

Ben Star gets two. And that's being generous. But Ben Star, he gets two. Greg Miller, he freaked it. Yeah, Greg Miller went crazy on it. He gets about five. Yeah. So I'm about 50 miles out.

50 miles is what I did. She said 55, you said minus 5, minus 5, minus 2. I don't want you. I think the mat there is more like 43 months. Yeah, but I'm not going to share. It's mine. It's mine. I got 50.

You're big time in everyone else. Yeah, yeah. It was fun, Roger. We were back again for more Death Stranding. It's crazy that we followed up a month later with the release of Death Stranding 2. Smart ideas. It was fun to come from Death Stranding 1 into 2. The whole weekend was a blast.

We actually camped out here in the studio. Yeah. You did a great job putting a beautiful star. night in the Australian Outback right behind us and slept under the stars in KFAF that was a lot of fun. You and I got wild and

you know played this game. We ordered a lot of food. I gained eight pounds. Yeah. I gained about seven pounds. A lot of people thought I was going to lose weights. A lot of people. You did too. So like let's talk about that side of it, right? You gave it the weight. Are you proud of yourself that like, you know, when it comes down to like, let's say like the nuclear fallout,

the nuclear winter that you can quickly like kind of like hibernate? I mean, I'm a bear. I mean, you definitely are a giant bear. I think it's a lot of water weight though, Rod. I think those numbers aren't real and they're not right. Like it's just a lot of water, a lot of fluid intake. I drank 18 Capri Suns about seven nutcase cashew milks.

Yeah. And I also drank, you know, a lot of, drink so much water that across the street, the guys ran out of the water bottles that I'm like. Yeah. I think they put it in the back. They didn't want to, they had to cut you off after a certain part.

They had to cut you off. So at the end of the day, I think it's just a lot of water weight. I'll lose that. I'll kind of dry out here over the weekend and I'll be back to normal. It's a nasty thing to say. It's a nasty thing you said they're going to dry out a little bit.

What do you do? What do you do your dry out? What is that mean? Oh, okay, so you're going to go the opposite way. You're not going to drink any water so you can really... I don't have enough water inside me.

I'm like a camel right now. He's like those actors who like specifically like dehydrate themselves before like doing like a big action scene to make the veins pop. Yeah, to make the bubble not as big. What's the, what's the bubble? Yeah, let's have a conversation about the bubble because we have two bubbles going on. What would you like to know about? You're that constantly confused because we would talk about one bubble and you'd be upset about another bubble.

Yeah, so bubble number one was the bubble located in my right half. Of course, as you know, walking 50 miles by yourself over a weekend, things can happen to your body. And thankfully, with the new profile, fitness treadmill. I didn't have the pains that I had last time when I was walking on your poor fiancé's walking pad that I destroyed. Yeah, she was very...

She admitted to me this week that she was upset at us because she was like, I hope that you guys destroyed that thing so I never had to look at it and pretend like I was ever going to walk on it. So she was kind of upset about that we brought it back to her. And so I got a lot of pain in my feet the last time to the point where when we ended on Monday morning in death straining, one, I had my shoes off. I was doing the stair stepper.

I was rubbing my feet on any hard surface possible just to get some blood flow and some like, just feeling back into them. Just stretching out those muscles. This time around, my feet felt great. They barked a little bit, but not too much. But the pain that I had was I could feel my calf muscle kind of loosening up and becoming just kind of like a fluid bubble that would go up and down in my calf. And I was afraid it was going to explode because it happened to me once where that exploded.

not a good feeling, I'll tell you what. And so, you know, we had to take a break. You had to put the theragun on me and rub it out. So, oh, wait, wait. Is this the same leg that you had your hammy explode? Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. Okay, maybe that's just residual from that.

Maybe we got me got, we should have to that. But like, remember what happened, Roger. I hit a home run in front of you. It was a triple. Okay, insane speed. And then I chased down a ball. Okay. I looked like Greg's weiner dog.

chasing a tennis ball in the park. I was flying to that ball in the outfield. And like, yeah, sure I didn't stretch and I caused massive pain to myself, but I'm all right. Yeah. So for anyone who doesn't know, Mike took us, took me and Leenza right as we moved to San Francisco

to a softball game. He signed up for Volo. This is before we had like the crew of people, right? I don't think Blessing wasn't even in part of this group. He was. He was? Yeah, Blessing and Katie both were all on. But they were there that time.

Really? I could have sworn it. It was literally you, me, and Leanza. That was it. Yeah, because I don't go alone. Yeah, exactly. You never go anywhere alone. It was the three of us, right?

And Leanza and I didn't sign up. We didn't play, right? Leanzah had no equipment. She had no training. I had no training. I had no equipment. So we're just here to kind of support Michael in like all of his endeavors, like a good parents we are.

Thank you. So we go. We support him. It's the first game, right? He's chatting up with everybody. He's walking over to the other team. He's dapping him up. He's like, fuck yeah, what up everybody.

He goes out there, no stretches, no nothing. and I think it was the second time you were up, not the first time, the second time you were up. The first time I think you striped out. No, no, no, no, no. It all happened at the beginning. First hit.

No, no, no, no, you're never wrong. So we go out there, he goes the second time, and he hits, and it's like, it's an impressive hit. Like, legitimately it's an impressive hit. It goes, I'm pretty sure it was a triple, but you said it was a, it was a home run. Inside the park home run. Yeah, okay, sure.

So he kills it and he runs. Fast as lightning, they said. And he goes. No, actually. I'm misremembering. That's not what happened. You hit it. You hit the home run, right? You kill it. You hit the home run. Hell yeah. Right. Then you're in the outfield. Yeah, that's what happened. Then you're in the outfield. And you go to catch someone else's ball right after that.

And you just collapse on the floor. Blessing was at this because I remember him telling this story from his perspective where he looked around. And Mike was just like on the ground. Yes. And then he on the ground, we're like what's happening. And then like everyone's kind of getting around Mike. Mike doesn't like attention like attention when he's hurt. anything like that. Don't worry about that sloppy. So then we get him up, he walks over to us and it is like, oh no. Like he is like ripped something, like, teared something fully.

And he's like limping and not, I'm like, Mike, let me drive. Like let me drive it to the hospital. Nah, sloppy, don't worry about it. Don't worry about sloppy. And then he just kind of rode that one out. Did get horribly black and blue. Horribly. We got to have photos to that somewhere. I bet I got some photos. You probably got some photos. It was really bad. And then now he has a bubble happening there. So I think that's just kind of like,

you know, something happened there. And like, like your shit's never going to be the same, but it's fine. Well, it's like, you know, walk 50 miles on a weekend without stopping, come at me, you know? Yeah, but you're not wrong. Tell me how your body feels. I mean, you're not wrong. I went on level 12 for about 40 minutes twice, I would say, and that was horrible. That was horrible.

I felt like it was going to die the first time. I genuinely thought I was going to throw up on stream, but that would have been good content. So, Mike, you did great. You had the bubble. Thank you. So second bubble. Second bubble. You had one bubble there.

Oh, yeah, second bubble on my tummy. we still don't know what this is. We're not quite sure there's a second bubble on top of the bubble that is already my big gut. You know what I mean? And so, yeah, there's like a soft bubble here. And if you touch that bubble, you can push down on it and it kind of dissipates. But then it comes right back. So a lot of untrained medical professionals out there.

Like to say, it's a hernia. But there's no pain. I don't even know what the word means. You know what I mean? Using big words. Don't worry about me. Therapy language. And so, yeah, that, you know, the same bubble, undiagnosed, untreated.

Jesus Christ. I like to pretend like it's my little extra food pocket for what I eat. No, that's good. Yeah, no, I think personally, you know, again, not medical advice or anything. I think it's just, yeah. Yeah, it's just a little extra food. You know, you put a little chocolate bar in there. Yeah, that's fine.

That's fine, Raj. So, yeah, we worked hard. I mean, slept well throughout the whole weekend. My tent was very comfortable. You slept on an air mattress. I did. That was sick. Yeah, sleeping was tough because, again, we're on the studio.

We're genuinely on the studio. This was not like a bit. We didn't like leave or anything. Mike left to take a shower and come right back. So he was a trooper. He didn't have to. He could have just slept at home. No one would have known.

All my betting was here. That was the problem. So Mike would go home, right? The first day he goes home. He sleeps. No, he takes a shower. He comes right back, right? within 40 minutes.

But we're in bed like four, or five o'clock, 5 a.m., right? Then we have to wake up up because of Greg's fucking parade. Craig. Wake up at 9.30 a.m. We love you,

Greg. We're waking me up, getting me all up tight. We love you, Greg. We're going to TP your car. We got to get them back. We got to get them back.

But it was a great parade. It was a great parade. This is Mike right here. This is me looking lovingly at his, that was the one where I said, take a photo because come January, that's different.

It's different. Big or smaller? We don't know. We don't know. but come January, that's different, y'all. Be ready. That's a different situation. Be ready.

That's a different man there. So, yeah, he came back 5 a.m. slept. We slept for probably four hours, and then we had to go host Greg's parade digitally. So then we had four hours on the first day going into Saturday. And then Saturday going into Sunday, we had, I needed the blow-up mattress.

Shout out to Joey. He still had the blow-up mattresses there. He did get that after her. Barely fit, but it fit perfectly. It fit perfectly. It's crazy. It fit perfectly. So I slept on the air mattress.

and Michael's like, hey, I'm going to go home, take a shower, come right back like I did last night. I'm like, hell yeah, perfect. But I secretly knew what I was going to do. Come to learn that Mike came back at around 5 a.m. again. Again, we stopped at around 1. So we had a long time to sleep to wake up around 10. Yeah, that should have been my good day to sleep. Came back around 5, and then I was like, what happened?

He said, oh, I got to go home. I had to do some laundry. I was like, what? What do you mean laundry? I did two loads of laundry. Two loads of laundry. You had, you knew this was happening for a month, this exact, dates and then I was like but did you not have clothes? Did you not do laundry? Oh, I had enough to go to

Monday Tuesday. I just wanted to do laundry. What do you do? I had a cool outfit the first two days. I had the long underwear, the compression shorts. Yeah. And I looked cool in them. So I wanted to wash them so I could wear them again. We still never got a read on are you supposed to wear underwear underneath those or those good enough as underwear? Yeah, Chad, let us know. Because I'm in the pocket of those are under armor compression shorts, a.k. underwear when you have the short shorts. And I had them as pants. So that is the underwear.

You don't have to wear anything more underneath that. Andy said, no, you've got to wear boxers underneath that. And I was like, why would I wear two pairs of underwear? Multiple people are saying, yes, you do need underwear. You do need underwear. You do need underwear. Yeah, we're going to call up Under Armour on that one. We'll double check. Yeah, you're done. Yeah, for sure.

So then, yeah, we went and we went crazy with it. We went crazy with it. You walked the entire time. We played Death Strain. too. Mike, I guess we're not finished with the game. We're four hours away from finishing it. Do you have any thoughts? Do you have any thoughts about what you've seen

from death training? I was playing, of course. I liked this one. Yeah? Yeah, I really liked this one. I really... Spoiler chat, of course. It was a slow burn, slow burn story-wise, to really get cooking to where we are at the end. They definitely tease some stuff out. They put gameplay at the

forefront very early on. Hey, here's a vehicle. Here's a stick, aka a gun. Get after it right away. And so the story that I really wanted out of death stranding one into two was kind of put on the back burner for a couple hours there at the beginning.

But the beauty of the nature of everything, going from Mexico to Australia, seeing all the different biomes that they had, the fun little, you know, we didn't get a lot of it, but the rock slides, the avalanches, the flooding rivers. Those were all very

cool in the moment when you saw them. Yeah. But they didn't happen all that often. No, and they don't really affect the gameplay as much. They're cool as like visuals, but yeah, yeah, when the gatequakes are happening, I'm not like, oh shit, I got to figure out what to do, right? The music was really good, but also didn't hit like Death Stranding One's

music did, and maybe that was kind of a slower, more meditative experience where it was about walking and, you know, taking these packages to and from, this time it very much felt, oh, Rogers in a car 90% of the time. Yeah. There's never like, oh, we're cresting over the peak,

seeing the vista and church's hits right then and there. None of that ever happens. It's a lot of, yeah, it's tough to kind of figure out those musical stings when you're going crazy in a car, jumping over rocks, you know what I mean? Like when you're walking up a mountain, there's really, you know, you can kind of like figure out those moments perfectly. And they had a few drops that I really enjoyed. I mean, of course, the Caroline drop is incredible.

I got to react to that live. That was super cool. I have a photo of you crying. Yeah, no, that was really cool. It was awesome. And yeah, that moment is really dope. And that's probably the one that comes to mind. if I didn't have the connection to Carolina, I think that is the moment in that game,

at least for me, that connected. Barrett, you popped up. Yeah, I just, I want to say a lot of the needle drops actually works for me just because of how, like, kind of subdued and, like, introspective they felt. And, like, even when, you know, because a lot of my time was also, like, driving and being in that pickup off-roader, I don't know, there's something about the, the scenery of it all, and even just, like, casually driving up to a place, always, always kind of hit for me. I will say is that like

I feel like some of the needle drops needed to happen sooner before you got to the drop off because it would put there'd be especially if you're driving in a vehicle sometimes a song will play for like 30 seconds and then it like kind of cuts off and I'm like damn I was like I was getting in the mood and stuff like that

and like in that moment emotionally but then some of them did drop early enough I don't know it was like very weird and inconsistent yeah I mean at least you have the music player now right at least you can you can put on some tunes there I mean, let's just talk about, like, the elephant in the room of, like, we're playing this game really weird, right? Like, this is not a...

I got a treadmill going at 3.5 speed. It's loud as fuck. Loud as can be. I'm playing. I'm also talking to chat the entire time, right? Trying to entertain. So it's like, this is not the ideal way to play this game. Ideally, is the, I'm playing at the way at home,

the way that I am actually going to, I'm going to replay this game. I'm already saying this right now. I'm going to try to replay this game from start to finish at home on a brain new save. I'm not even bringing over the save from PS5 pro on Greg's PS5 pro, one, because I don't have PS Plus and I refuse to pay for it. And two, because I want to just start fresh. So I'm just going to go from the way that I want to play it, which is meditative and slow.

And I started to try to do that on stream, but it just doesn't make for good content and I want to finish this game. So, yeah, the way that I want to play it is to build out the roads and to make sure that the monorail is there and to get all the equipment and to min-max all the areas that I'm putting in my private locker and kind of write down in my notebook, okay, this is where I have all my medals. This is where I have this. Like, I want to go crazy with it.

And doing it on stream is a little bit difficult. So, yeah, it's not the ideal way to play the game, but it is, I'm still having a good time. My issues are not even issues, really. I think it's just I need to finish the game and see the whole picture, right? Because right now I am very close. I feel like I'm right in front of the painting, and I just need to step back a little bit and actually see the completed picture in order to fully understand it and to fully appreciate what's going on. Because right now, in the midst of everything, four hours away,

from the finale. I'm enjoying the combat. I'm enjoying a lot of the gameplay. I mean, it is improved death stranding, which I enjoy. But I am having a little bit of trouble with the story. I just don't think it's as impactful as it was the first time. I don't know what that is. I don't know if it is just because the first one

is such a unique, interesting game. So inherently, it's like, oh, wow, this is a brand new world. I'm so excited. Now this is the sequel. Okay, a lot of those things are just, you know, we're continuing the connections, pun intended, where we were before. So it's not as impactful as it once was.

But I just, I don't, they're doing a lot of things that are similar to death training one, like the flashes when you connected to the B, T, or to the BV. And it just doesn't work as well as B, as death draining one. So far. And again, they're right there. They're connecting a lot of those dots. They're trying to bring those things together. But right now I was, the same place that I was at the end of the last death straining stream,

the first game, rather, when we're, we finished that marathon stream and we were right at the four hour mark five hour mark to the ending we ended this stream we're about four hours away from finishing that game i was way higher on death stranding one than i am death stranding two and i would say i was like about nine a nine out of ten for death running one when we finished that uh that stream uh when we finished this stream uh this marathon stream i was about at an eight eight five so i wouldn't say maybe not way but like yeah that's still a point difference like a great to one amazing so um yeah i'm excited to see it i'm excited to see where it goes because I think they can absolutely bring it all together

and I could be mind-fucked and be like, oh shit, Kojima, you're fucking genius. But right now I'm very much enjoying just, hey, death stranding, but it's more streamlined. It is a more streamlined experience. I get to run around. I enjoy shooting the BTs. I enjoy for the most part now. I mean, sometimes they're

fucked. Sometimes you get a BT situation. You're a little annoyed, but I'm enjoying running up on the robots and throwing grenades at them and using the grenade launcher. I think it's way easier and it is more fun and it reminds me of like almost Batman Arkham in the sense that like no one's dead. You're just running them over with cars and they're technically fallen asleep.

I think it's very funny. And I'm interested to see what a second play through brings for me. If that it brings my score higher, if it stays around the same, because playing it in the real way that you're supposed to play it, I think is potentially going to bring a lot of good from it. So yeah, I'm enjoying it. But I'm excited to kind of finish it and see what that's up. performances are great.

Yeah, performances are really great. Troy is very good. Deborah Wilson is incredible. She's very good. Deborah Wilson's really incredible. El Fanning is fun. Whoever plays Rainey is awesome. I forget her name.

She's really great. I like the new characters in this a lot more than I think the older characters because they're coming back and they're in a new situation here, but you don't. All I want is the new characters. I want to kind of live with those new characters. I almost kind of wish that we pushed away

the older characters more and we kind of focused. I would love, I would have loved way more Debra Wilson. I would have loved way more of Rainey and L. Fanning's character because that to me is where the interesting stuff lies, at least with the story and where we're going.

But yeah, I'm very much enjoying it and I'm excited to continue to play it. But Mike, before we continue talking about Destraining 2, before we start answering our questions, before we give, you give, your Jurassic World Rebirth? Yes.

Mike, it's time you get to review your favorite, most anticipated movie of this year.

A Jurassic World Reverse. Dinoes, Roger. Yeah, you kind of surprised me on this one. I mean, it's the least surprising fun fact about Mike that I've ever heard, but also I just never heard you talk about this like this. I love dynos? Yeah, well, I mean, if I look at you and after you were like, hey, what's up a kid were you?

Well, you're a dinosaur kid? I'll be like, yeah, you were definitely a dinosaur kid. What's the other options? I don't know. Trains. Every kid. Trains and cars? Yeah. I said trains. No, you've got to be a dino kid. Everybody loves dinosaurs. Okay. You were a dino kid. Yeah.

And you love dinosaurs, and you were telling me they were even watching YouTube videos of, like, the iceberg. Oh, I was deep into the Jurassic World and Jurassic Park Iceberg theories. Yeah, you're locked in. So here... I might read the book. Oh. That's like, here there's a book about it. Yeah.

I have to jump into this book. I would love you just read like the novelization of Jurassic World, like not even like the book that it's based, Jurassic Park is based off. You're going to read just Jurassic World rebirth of the novelization. Mikey, this is your opportunity to talk about Jurassic World Rebirth. Andy didn't go with you, which sucks. It's kind of crazy that he wouldn't go with you. He made you and I work. He said you guys work.

I'm going to go watch a movie. It's like, what? Crazy. Roger, I watched Jurassic World Rebirth last night on opening night, and I had a blast. I really enjoyed seeing Dinos up on the big screen, and I enjoy the Jurassic Park world. Now, there have been some flops looking at you, Jurassic World Dominion. Looking at you.

Jurassic World 2, whatever the hell that one is called. Fallen Kingdom? No. I believe so. I believe so, Big Dog. Yes, it is, Roger. Don't doubt me. I know my movies, okay?

Now, this one was a fun one, Scarjo. The Lost World. No, that's Jurassic Park. Jurassic World. Fallen Kingdom. I also didn't like number two on Jurassic Park, though. That's low on my leaderboard. That has Vince Vaughn and his daughter who does gymnastics.

She kicks a velociraptor while doing work on the handpoles, which is pretty sick. That's pretty sick. It was pretty sick. Yeah, that's awesome. And they had the tall grass. Velociraptors in the tall grass, very good. You like tall grass? You're a tall grass guy?

Anytime you put dinosaurs in the tall grass and you and your crew are making moves through it and you can see the velociraptor tails and all the grass shake, you know it's going to be a good scene. Yeah, yeah. Okay? They also got the waterfall scene where snake falls on the guy and he's like, oh, my. God, it's a snake. Psych, T. Rex comes down to the waterfall, bites him. Bang.

Killed him. Is there any blood in these movies? Like, if people get ripped apart, like, there's a gore? Blood everywhere. Is that true? No, it's pretty PG-13. It's fun because, like, people in this movie, in particular, get eaten off-screen a lot. And then they come back with them half-munched on, and then the big scene to, like, let you know they're dead.

Blood in the water. They're, like, on the beach side, and then blood just comes up, and you're like, Have none of these movies been rated R? That would be sick. I don't believe. That's how you get me in. Actually, no, I don't think so. If you make these like an actual like horror film or whatever and like you're like

getting ripped apart, that'd be sick. Well, if you like that, that's Jurassic Park 1. That's the closest you're going to get. I don't like that one. And that one's the goat. It's Jurassic Park 1, then Jurassic World Rebirth. Number 2 for me. Why I put it number two, Roger?

I love the progression of CGI tech and making the dinoes look even more real, bigger and better than, bigger and better than ever before. And some of the set pieces that we have fun with. Why, like Jurassic World, rebirth, some good fun set pieces, right? This time, we go, we get aquatic with it. We go to the water. Oh, shit. And we don't really-

Do we do that a few times, though? Do we do that? No, no, no, no. World One, they had the big whale. That was killing people. Yeah, but he was inside of a cage. No, he's free. Oh, shit.

What? Roger. Is it the same from one from World One? Yeah. Really? He's been out. They got a tag on him. He's been tracked.

And so, a lot more aquatic fun, which I enjoy, right? I like getting out to the water. I'm fascinated by that big mosa source, I believe it's called. So I'm interested to see what does that giant whale shark monster do down there? And what kind of fun can you have with them? This one thumbs up. So a fun set piece with that. I like the T-Rex set piece.

I saw Jamborone's online, didn't like that. Love the T-Rex set piece. You got to have a classic T-Rex chase seed in this. Is this the one where like, are they doing the thing where the T-Rex is good? Because that's what they did with World One, right? Where they brought back the T-Rex and the other one. I love when they do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But this one's bad. It's a bad T-Rex. We're like a nasty little T-Rex that's killing people. Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, like, you know what? It's not about the T-Rex in this one. It's about the mutated dinoes in this one. Because we're on island number two. This is Jurassic World, but it's a new trilogy in the Jurassic World show.

So now we go, hey, remember everything that happened over at the park with my main man, Chris Pratt over there? Well, guess what? When they were creating these dinosaurs, people got bored of the dinosaurs and they wanted something bigger. They wanted more thrills. So we started mutating the dinosaurs over on this island. And if they were crazy over here, we left them over here. So it's just like... This is the crazy island.

We got to elevate it. So here, this is like the classic monsters. It's like the Arkham Asylum of Dinos. Well said. So like your classic T-Rex, that's not good enough anymore. You got a crazy deal. We got to elevate that. The D-Rex.

Oh, big dick. Wow, Roger. Oh, that's too far. And then also like your classic velocirapy. not good enough anymore. And I'm a little mad about that. I'm a classic velociraptor type of guy. This time the velociraptors, they just got wings.

They can fly. What? Yeah, you'll see them. That's pretty sick, actually. They can fly now? They're pretty intimidating. And are they still, like, stalking people? Oh, they're stalking.

And they're stalking in the air, though. They're minimally. In the movie, they minimally fly. But they're in there. You'll notice. Is there a big moment with your reveal of like, of like, there's like a velociraptor. And it's like, oh, that's like scary. And then it starts flying.

Is that what happens? happens. Roger, maybe. I would recommend you go see it. So they'll be with characters that you hate at the beginning. Are you working for this company? I love Jurassic Park.

I'm telling you, you know what I mean? I'm telling you. I love Jurassic Park. You're in the pocket of Universal Studios right now. The fuck. And so there are characters that you will start to hate at the beginning

and then love by the end. There are characters you just don't care about. They're going to get eaten by a velociraptor. Don't worry about it. You know what I mean? Scarjo's in it. Scarjo's in it. She can.

can carry a franchise. She can carry a trilogy. Not her strongest performance, but I've seen worse in recent movies that we've gone to. So, oh, no, not too bad. I like this one a lot. I give it a thumbs up, but I think

a lot of the Jurassic Park movies after the first one have not been tremendous and amazing in any way. So I had a good time with this. Really cool dynos. Great design. Fun island. A lot of wacky moments. And, yeah, Yeah, big over the top.

I like this one. Go see it. Yeah. My history with Jurassic World and Park and everything. I saw World. That was the first ever one I watched. I watched it in theaters when it came out. I enjoyed it fine.

Thought it was cool. That was whatever. And then, like, a few years ago, I was like, let me go watch Jurassic Park, right? One. And it's a good movie. Don't get me wrong. I said I didn't like it.

The only reason I didn't like it's because I've seen the movie a million times through pop culture. I've seen all the moments, all the moments that happen in this movie, I've seen through other things. And I was like, okay, I've already seen World, which is kind of a remake of park.

It's cool. I get it. I just have not. This did not like, you know, change my brain chemistry like I'm sure it did for everybody who watched it originally. So that's my take on it. And then,

yeah, it's just diminishing returns. Here's that I'd recommend then. Yeah. Watch Jurassic Park 3. I had that on DVD and I never watched it. Rocks. That's my number three.

That has the guy from Elmo. Okay. Now, here's a deal. A lot of people say Scarler Joe Hanson can't carry. Scarler Joe Hansen plus Merchel-Ale-L-Lee. They can carry. Those two together are a lot of fun.

They can get some chemistry in the next two and make it fun. Because, man, I look at him, Roger, when this finally happens, if it finally happens, we got a Blade movie. And this man's going to kill it. There's no way that we get a Blade movie. You look at the same thing. He's going to be so great as Blade. And we're going to save the MCU with that movie.

It's going to be so good. The only thing that I recommend you guys watch from Scarjo was her talking to Hatsunei Miku. Go Google that. Wow! What a collab! That's so beautiful. That's really beautiful stuff.

We love Scarjo for that. And shout out to Hatside Emiku. You also watch Heads of States. I'm very excited about this. Directed by the director of Nobody, who did the after movie with Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul himself, where he's old, but he's also John Wick.

Now, this one, the whole pitch of this, is it's John Cena, who's the president of the United States, Idriselba, who's the prime minister of the UK. they don't like each other. They're kind of beefing, but then they go on to, what is it, Air Force One, right?

And then it gets shot down. Oh, shit. Now they have to work together, right? Did you watch this movie? Well, I saw the trailer. Okay, because that's the... Yeah, I told you the synops of the movie. What happens there is right?

Well, yes. I love the idea of you being shocked. I mean, knowing the premise of the film. Holy shit, Roger. Yeah, this movie's bad. Oh, shit. I was very excited for this movie.

I thought for sure that these two together would make me, laugh and have more fun than I did. No, I did not have any fun somehow. The only fun I had was surprisingly Jack Quaid. Shout out to Jack Quaid. He was in this for a very small scene, but his scene is actually a lot of fun. And the two of them actually provide a lot of fun with him in the scene.

But then once they leave that, it's like, oh, we're back to just really no chemistry between these two dudes. And it's John Sina. He was just in Ricky Stinnickie. Bring the fun, Big Dog. You know what I mean? That's Ricky Stinicki Vives. Is Ricky Sninickey any good?

Roger, have you not seen it? No. You should see it. You should watch it. It's a good time. I'll watch Ricky Snicky for you. Ricky Stinniki is surprisingly fun. So what are you giving that one?

And so this one I am not, did not enjoy. Did not enjoy that one out of five. Damn. One out of five stars. One out of five. What would you give a Dress of World? I like we're doing out of five stars.

I like we're doing it out of five. We have a kind of funny scale. No, this is my first is. now. This is movie. He's different. We use different skills. They get stars.

And so here's the deal. This movie is just like, this should be a fun buddy cop action movie with these two gibronies and fun set pieces. No, they're chased around by two

brother and sister baddies who never speak a word. They're just menacing gumbas and it's not fun to watch them at all. You know what I mean? And it's like, okay, like let's get a little fun. No, they're just throwing grenades.

at each other, shooting each other with flame shotguns. And it's like, who cares? Get a little fun with it. Who cares? Figure it out. So you know what, Roger? Don't watch that one. Damn.

Fuck, that sucks. Nobody too coming out, though. Likely, lightly excited about that one. You know what I'm excited to watch? I want to watch Eddie Murphy and Metro. That's the last movie. I'm cute up on my must watch on Amazon. We got some questions for you.

Yeah. Eric Myers tweets at us and says, rank the meals if you had, if you did this already in Minnesota, blah, blah, blah. We're ranking the meals. Oh, dude, get ready. We rank the meal. So let's go through the days that we had.

We had a lot of meals. I don't even know. I don't even have them written down. We just got to go through it from the fucking. We start off with the gigamete. Right? Let's write them now. Let's write them.

I'm writing this down. Okay, write them down. We have the gigamete. We have the gigamete pizza, right? Gigamete pizza will be number one because it's the first one we had so far. Okay. So gigamete was basically a meat lover's pizza from Domino's. They have a collab with Kojima in Japan, which is basically a meat lovers.

They didn't sell it in the state. so we just bought a meat lover. But with a Red Bull. Yes, and we had a Red Bull combo. Don't forget, at a Red Bull combo. Red Bull. Okay. And then did we have, what do we have for dinner that day?

We had Red Lobster. Oh boy. Oh, boy. Those Cheddar Bay Biscuits really carried that. Yeah. Barrett, I know you're doing a lot of things. If you can go to the Twitch and go to the clips and see if you can find him eating Red Lobster, if you just look through, you might see him eating it.

It is a disaster. And then we had the next day. What else do we have? Is that the first day we had a salad? Yeah, that's the salad for dinner. We had the salad for dinner that was sweet green. Sweet greens, really disappointing. Bradley forgot to put leaf in my salad.

Do we have lunch that day, everybody? Yeah, of course we had lunch. We ate big, be big, is right? Andy brought a pizza. No, day two was Andy brought a pizza? No, that was day three. Nick brought Taco Bell, late-night Taco Bell. Yeah, that was after the Red Lobster.

Yeah. Okay, so we had Taco Bell. okay really cold Taco Bell really really oh and then we had donuts but that doesn't count so yeah and he's pizza Andy's pizza we have the Starbird salad yeah

can we just get right to it like drop everything none of these matter the only one that matters Roger shocker Starburst salad was the number one no my favorite meal of the weekend wow over outback plus Chili's over red lobster, cheddar

cheddar bay biscuits, over the gigamax pizza, over the two jamba juices that we ordered that I really enjoyed. A lot of jama juices. The salad was my favorite. The salad fueled me. The salad gave me energy. And I really,

really enjoyed that salad. Now, salad number one from sweet greens, I didn't love, but it got me right. It got me right. What did you get? I got a bowl of rice, chicken. steak. Steak.

Double protein because I needed it. And I asked for leafy greens. They gave me no leafy greens. Yeah, so he just literally had rice. A rice bowl from Chipotle. Yeah, with broccoli. And then he said that that was a salad. So that was his salad.

I think, let's just do the top three. I think number two for me, Chili's Outback. I love their baby back ribs. Their ribs were actually really good, surprising me, blew my mind. I really enjoyed the dessert that I had from Outback. So we did both of them.

We did Outback and we did Outback. and we did chilies at the same time, so they count as one meal. I had a Reese's mud pie. That was really good. That was really good. Your steak, you did have a bitch boy steak. Six ounces. You didn't know what that meant.

Really disappointed me. Also, the Outback, Blooming Onion, disappointing. One tiny sauce cup. One tiny sauce cup, Roger? We got to bring more. We got an entire. It's a whole blooming onion. You got to give us two.

You got to. You're cutting that thing into four ways for four people to split. Two people are not splitting a bowl. all blooming onion. Yeah. For sauces. Let's go to the bottom. The bottom of it was?

Really quick, really quick. How does the bloom and onion travel? Not well. Not awful. I mean, it was cold. It was not the worst. It was just hard to... It was cold.

It was oily. It was cold. I mean, it wasn't cold. We just, we were also right in front of a fucking AC, so that's the reason why. I don't wake up. Six degrees.

Six degrees the entire time. The bottom of the list, let's just do that. Burger King. Oh, really? Burger King delivered. No, they didn't.

Remember the zesty sauce. Okay. For you, you know what I'm just talking about. You were pissed off about that too. My three junior hamburgers were delicious. I got a refund from Dordash because they fucked us on those sauces. I was so mad. All I cared about, it was, it was the most garbage whopper in the world.

I get the, how to train your dragon. I got how to train your dragon spicy wopper. Tastes exactly like a regular wopper with no spice. I'm like, okay, you know, we'll save this a bunch of zessie sauce. There's no zessie sauce. I looked like I was going to kill somebody when you told me that there's no zessie sauce in there. I said, the first thing I said out of my mouth when I said, is there any sauce in here?

You said, no, there isn't. I said, are you joking? That's how much, like, I went to denial immediately because that's how pissed off I was. Let me be real with you really quick. Is that Dragon, how to train your dragon, dragon fruit lemonade? Delicious. I wish I could have had some of that.

Delicious. Chicken fries, delicious. Their chicken fries, fuck. Pretty good. It's so good. Mottrell sticks sucked. Red lobster, where does that ring? that was awful.

I will never eat red lobster again. I'm going to put it in middle of the pack. Roger snapped a crab leg in front of me and really shook me to my core. Yeah, it was really scary. It was really scary. Or when you ripped the meat off the back of that crab tail, I was like, ooh, I never want to see that. Lopterdale. It was good.

I liked it. I like Red Lobster. I didn't like that. That's it. Number one, Starbird salad, number two, Outback slash Chili's number three, gigam meat. Oh, yeah, that nails it. Yeah, that's it. That's it.

Oh, that jamba juice. Okay, I don't think that counts. I'll put it out there. But I'm going to put bottom of the list, Burger King, just for me. Okay. And then number eight, sweet green. Yeah, that is it for the ranking. Thank you so much, Eric Myers, for that question.

We're going to look through some more questions. This is one from Elosin over on Twitter. What's one of the most anticipated games that the general audience might not know about? Do you have any of that come to mind, Mike, things that you're looking forward to that you think that people aren't on people's radars. I have a two if you want me to give you some, give you some time to think. Yeah, I got a let's build a dungeon. Have you seen this game? This is, this is from the people that made Let's Build a zoo. It is a sim where you're making a, sorry, you are making an MMO, like an MMO. It's like a game dev

sim, right? But then on top of that, it is a sim of like the actual experience of making a video game. Like, it's like, it's like two layers of games. So you can make and play an MMO that you're building and then also you have to deal with the servers cost and then also you have to deal with getting the game out there and your employees and it just seems like an insane video game that I have truly no idea how they're making but the let's build a zoo game is an incredible video game and it's such a fun it's such a fun game to play and it gets so wacky and weird so when they announced this one I was like oh shit like this seems impossible but let's build a zoo has so many insane layers to it,

where you're able to breed, like, different species, and they procedurally, like, create a new species. You can build, like, a rabbit and a lion, and then they make, like, a lion rabbits, and it procedurally creates, like, the creature for you. So they have some cool stuff right there. So that game is on the top of my wish list as something I'm looking forward to.

And also, Night of the Consumers. This is one of those nasty games. Those nasty games you see online. You see on, like, the, and like these weird corners of the internet and you're like, what the fuck is this game? It's called Night of the Consumers. I desperately want to play this.

I hope it's good. I have no idea what's going on in it, but it just looks kind of freaky deaky. And it feels like this is right up my alley. I love this type of shit. And yeah, just weird. I don't even know what you're doing in it. You're just inside of a store

and there's a bunch of weird zombies and you're throwing shit at them. And yeah, I love the way that those characters look. They look awful. Those are two good ones. Yeah, right there. I'm going to remind people of two games as well. Okay.

One, seven days from now, lace up your cleats, hit the gridiron and let the marching band play. Because NCAA football 26 is coming out. Wow. People talking about the sequel to, of course, the best-selling sports game ever from last year, NCAA football 2025. Well, guess what?

2006 is coming out, and I'm fucking jazzed up about it, Roger. Okay? I'm ready to embarrass Greg Miller and his Mizzou Tigers again. Last year I played with one hand while eating a slice of pizza, dominating him with my CU Buffaloes. This year, I look to hit the gridiron and dominate everyone in this office, okay? I don't think there's one person who can come close to me in that video game.

I might start playing. I don't think anybody would try to claim that from me. Yeah, I don't think anyone's trying that. And then next, next, Roger, October 21st, Jurassic World Evolution 3. Oh shit, no one's on that one. I am so high on the Jurassic Park train, but also I love a good park sim.

I loved Two-Point Museum this year. Anybody you talking about Two-Point Museum, Roger? No one talked about that one. That kind of just kind of like... That was a fun time, which is too bad, because you should play Two-Point Museum. That was a really good time. And all the two-point games are actually really surprisingly a good time.

I love a good Planet coaster. Yeah. I love a roller coaster tycoon. I love the idea of building my own zoo. I love the idea of me getting to run my own Jurassic World theme park. And so I'm really pumped up to see Evolution 3, how they improved upon what one and two were. And I really want to spend like a full week, Roger, just like diving deep into this game and building the best Jurassic World theme park. So those are my two for you.

I love that. I got one for you all as well. I just want to shout out unbeatable, which is this like really cool stylistic. rhythm games. And yeah, the tagline in it is this something I love is a world where music is illegal and you do crimes.

Hell yeah. And yeah, I'm very stoked for this, very stylized. The story seems to be really, really fun. And I'm excited just for like some more like rhythm game play, which I feel like, you know, we don't get too often anymore.

Yeah. I love that. Can we get a check in on Rogers? sorry from some Joe over on Twitter. Can we get a check-in for Rogers' 2025 gaming predictions from January 7th, the game cast? I mean, we're doing pretty good right now. We're in July. So let's go through them really quick.

January, Switch 2 was announced, and I had a bunch of other things like Sabrina Carper would be in it. That's wrong. I had the new future would be you'd be able to, like, cast to the dock, that's wrong. But at least I got the January thing, but also anybody could have guessed that, so it doesn't matter. I said February, GTA 6 trailer and is delayed to 2026.

This happened, but in May. A little bit off, a little bit off, a little bit off. I had March. I had a bunch of games. Here's the performances. I said Shadows, Assassin's Creek Shadows, and Avowed would underperform. I was incorrect about that. I said, Siv and Yakuzo would be do pretty good. I said Wild would be the biggest in Monster Herod and History. And I would say Blumen Rage would flop. I got all of those correct, though. Got them. Switch to launches. Launched lineup. I said Mario and Donkey Kong Odyssey. Sort of right. I mean, it's a Donkey Kong. I'm not going to give it to me, but like, you know. And that's also not

launch lineup. I said launch window lineup. Sorry, launch window lineup. That's why I said right here. He had an extra word. Yeah, I had a lot. I love the word right there. Eldon Ring, not true. Metroid Prime Forum, probably not true. Animal Crossing wrong. Every first party game has a 4K upgrade for $7 included in NSO. Somewhat right a little bit because of tears of the kingdom and stuff, but not really. So that is incorrect. May, I said PlayStation showcase would happen, didn't happen. And also all those games were not announced that I had there.

fucking completely whiffed Summer Game Fest I said Sonic Adventure remake would happen that's not happening Persona 6 teaser not happening Splinter Cell gameplay fucking dead No this is one I had

I said no silk song P parentheses Dev hell Which I think is very funny But I mean We saw a silk song But also not really But also no one's talking about Dev hell I said

Subtisoft is sold Probably to 10 cent Sort of correct I mean they did the the Subsidary thing That was I said that was gonna happen in July

that happened a little bit earlier. But, you know, sort of there. August, very funny, I said, Phil Spencer resigns from Xbox. Now, he said that he's not doing it, but like, what if? What if I'm right on that one? Bing, you know what I mean?

Bottom Bing. September, I still have Kingdom Hearts 4 is re-revealed and a new Yakuza game is announced. So, what if? October until Dawn 2 releases. That's not happening. November, new Call of Duty comes out. It sucks.

Blackop 7, I said. And it's rushed to release. MW3. So we'll see. We'll see on that one. And December, my big one, Half-Life 3 is announced at TGA. Still hoping on that one.

Still hoping on that one. Where is his yacht? Where is Gaven's yacht? He's everywhere, and he's nowhere. Mike, this is one for you. It's from Aza Gray over on Blue Sky. You're on a room with 99, 99 people. Sorry, you want a room with 999 other random people.

If you can do one thing better than the rest of the 99 people, you win $1 million. What activity feat contest are you picking? Great question. What unusual skills do I have, Roger? A lot. Not much. I have nothing.

I'm just an average gibroni with no sort of skills or talents. But I can eat a cheeseburger pretty quick. Maddoch immediately said eating cheeseburger. Yeah. So like Maddoch knows me. The boys know me. It's like you got to, lean into what you know, so it's like, I could

probably eat the most in and out cheeseburger slash the fastest out of everyone. Or, I would do this. I could convince all 999 people to say, let the spice flow. What?

You haven't heard? So we've been playing June Awakening. And my new thing is to get on game chat and talk with random people online. You know, make friends. I love that. And I leave every conversation with let the spice flow because I'm trying to

that going in the game. Because I have a feeling like other people will start using that. Let the spice flow. Let the spice flow. I like that. So like I bet you if you put me in a room, I get everybody to say let the spice flow. Oh, okay. Like you'll be kind of like a secret objective you have and you get all them to do it.

I like that. Like an impractical joker situation. Yes. You'd be great on intractical jokers, by the way. I've watched a lot of that. I love that show. I love that show. Long Island.

Represette. Love show. Q. MERS you a lot of the episodes there. Joe. A few of them are canceled. Maybe two out of the four. Really?

Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. It's from Average show on Twitter. Can Mike finally admit Roger is his real best friend? You know, during the weekend, I did give Roger the 1.1 title. He got the 1.1 title. When I look at today, anything is possible in the Snowmike Mike's top, MySpace top eight rankings,

we got to make that a thing as well. You keep on saying that. Who will be in my top eight rankings today? I don't know. Roger I will have to take me to lunch, so we'll see how it goes today. Oh, that's how I get to 1.1? Yeah. Look at us.

Look at us eating. Oh, God, look at those crowd legs. Oh, he's your best friend. You know who else? Like shrimp. Who? My best friend. Who?

Who else like shrimp? No, my best friend. Number one, what? point two that's the funniest shit you've ever said that's great that's great you played into that so well it's so good

you played it to that great that was awesome ask as from be nasty over on Twitter ask Mike what his favorite vacuum cleaner is I have an answer to this for me you got one for me the mealy

the mealy vacuum I got a canister vacuum it's really great I really enjoy this one I really enjoy this one because it's very repairable apparently it is one of these ones.

It's like, I think it's a canister is what you call it. The ones you move around the entire house like this and you have to get up and you have to fucking. Yeah. I mean, my favorite vacuum will always be the Ghostbuster backpack vacuum. Like if you're getting big with it, you got to get a backpack. You know, that's from the restaurant, Roger. I like to those backpacks lot. Oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The people are playing a fitness have those. Yeah. The team would break them every day. Yeah. It's like somehow I just bought this. It's broken already. Yeah.

But I want to give a shout to Boney. My good friend, Bone jangles. he recommended a carpet cleaner on Amazon Prime Day that I bought this beautiful rug and carpet like wet vacuum. Use it all the time up in the Tahoe house. I love it. The Tahoe Cabin. I want to call it the Cabin. Ooh, I like that.

I like that. Yeah, you're in the cabin. Where's my cat? Oh, he's in the cabin. Just the house. Just the house. The house. We have a few more really quick.

We have, oh, I like this one. Jeff H. over on Blue Sky, I believe. it says, what games would you load onto a 500 gigabyte Steam deck to preserve and show an apocalyptic society? It's like, let's just make of this. What are like the three games

that you're showing to like, you know, the world goes to shit, you're showing to everybody, you're making sure that you want to preserve. On a Steam deck. Fantastic Auto 5. Five on a Steam deck. That sucks. Skyrim. That's good on Steam deck.

That's a good one. And you ready for this one? The Messenger. Wow. I love that. I would go, I would go, mine's eye,

cyberpunk 1.0, and then Skyron for PS3. I like that. I want to show everybody the video games sucked and then we just get, we can't bring them back in the apocalypse. You know what I mean?

Like we got to focus on our lives. You know what I mean? We shouldn't be focused on, we shouldn't focus on video games. Okay, we got to stay alive. That's my idea here. Eldring. Yeah.

Persona 5 Royal. I'm trying to think of another really long game. Because, you know, if we're in the apocalypse, we're going to be bored all the time, you know? So it's like, I'm trying to think of, like, really long games. Yeah. Death Stranding. Dust Randing, maybe, yeah.

I like that. Yeah. Minecraft. Minecraft is my answer. Ooh. Minecraft, that's not bad answer. And, uh, Belatro.

Oh, Balotro is pretty good. I like Belotro. You know, I'm going to, I'm going to say fuck. I'm going to say fuck it. Fields of mystery. Oh. I like that. I like that one.

I got a hot take about Tetris, but I'll save it later. For Wid. Y'all ain't playing it like that. You'll be hyping up Tetris all the time. Y'all ain't playing that. What do you mean? Like every day?

You ain't playing it. You don't have to play everything? What? The original Tetris? Yeah, we're not playing the original Tetris. That one sucks. You can't like hard-drop. Tetris was nothing until Tetris effect.

Fuck off. Fuck off. Also, I'm pissed. I fucking hate Puyahua Pooya. I've been like, because I have the Puyahua-Puya Tetris combo or whatever on my switch too I gotta click for that

like Puyo Puyo what a nasty game like let's just What a nasty video game You got to be like why would you Trump on Pollo Poyu Poyu it's a nasty game Why are we combining Like it's like oh we have one of the greatest Video Gives of all times Tetris

Oh we're putting it with this little fucking game Puyo Puyo I'm having no fun playing this game I'm trying my hardest I'm trying about like why would you connect these two things They don't work well together They don't work well together Fuck that game just make it Tetris.

I just want Tetris. I hate, I hate Pooia, man. The watermelon game is better. Oh, Sweena game? That game is better. I love a,

Sveka game and Tetris together. That's a fire right there. That's a fire right there. And let's start with the good one. I like this one. We could end with talking about wow on console. You know, why is it on there?

One day. Yeah, Chris, Chris said that on Twitter. But we're going to have Gary Bro. Gary. bro over on blue sky. Says, how are each of you positively influenced

by the other? What's that on a positive one? Roger makes me want to get better. He put me on Rocket Money. Those last time you used it, you're probably paying for it. Yeah, it's all right. You know what it is on there. It's fine. Roger brings out the creative side of me.

He always pushes back when I need to take a moment and like settle down the hype and actually think something through and I appreciate that. He's always down to ride on my dumb, funky ideas. And, uh, you know, I once took him and his lovely fiancee on a 13 mile in and 13 mile out hike that they poor. Graciously said yes to.

And then five miles in. We're like, hold up, Mike. So you're telling me this is 26 miles. And I said, we're going to accomplish this. And they said politely let's stop right now. This poor woman. I feel so bad for her. I feel so bad for her.

Um, for me, it's. genuinely you have gotten me out of my shell in scenarios that I didn't expect. You know, when I first joined this industry, I'm a very reserved person, very introverted person. So, yeah, the amount of times that you've taken me to a place or we've gone to a party together or an event and you've like, hey, we're talking to everybody. We're walking up. We're talking to people where so now when I'm in a situation, when you're here, when you're not here, whatever, it doesn't matter. If I have to be the person that steps up, I'm stepping up. I'm talking to people. I'm shaking hands and I'm channeling my inner snowboard.

bike, Mike. I feel like he does that to a lot of people. From now on, we get people to say let the spice flow. Yeah, exactly. At Ben Star, let the spice flow. You know what I mean? It sounds a little bit, yeah. And we see if he's into it. I just want to also compliment you on that, Roger. I'm glad that you know that about yourself because that's something I've noticed about you for the last year or so, especially. I'm just like, you coming out of your shell, taking like kind of ownership of a of a room in a very confident way. Also, I think that also leads into your confidence in being,

a producer of things as well, which has, you know, made my heart very full since I've known you since you're literally a teenager. And it's great to see you be this very awesome, confident adult. And, you know, maybe we'll give some credit to Mike on that one. Yeah, it's like, you should probably have Greg taking you under your wig and not me, you know what I mean?

He's got a baby now. He's taking his own kid on his own. You don't have a baby. He's got a beautiful family. You know all the baby that you know. Can't put him out like that. Can't put him out like that. Yeah, thank you, everybody.

And thank you, Bear it for the kind words. Those first say, Dijicento just, Super Chadden and said, Raj and Mike, side-by-side tribal marathon stream for baby steps win, make it happen? I'm telling you.

Fuck no. Stair, the step thing? We get a stairmaster now. Stairmaster, but with high heels. High-heel stairmaster. Because the whole thing

with baby steps is he doesn't know how to fucking walk and shit. That's how we kill Mike. That's how we kill Mike. I used to crush the stairmaster. Thank you all for watching. This has been an incredible episode. We're not done.

We're not done because Mike and I are going to go in that room and I'm going to make a salad. And I'm going to tell him to talk for an hour while I eat us out. I might close my eyes. We might not stream. And yeah, we're going to try to finish Death Stranding. And everybody, remember, this has been the kind of funny games guests each and every weekday.
