Gotta get that. Gotta get that. Gotta get that. Gotta get that, that, that, that. Boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom. Boom, boom.

Was one of us supposed to keep saying, got to get that? Or does it just go fully into boom, boom, boom, boom at that part? I was just kind of going with it. Me too. I was enjoying it. I didn't even know we were doing a song. I was just kind of like doo-wop improving with you.

I didn't know that. Does it, is that a song? Is there a song that exists that has that same? Yes. Like, canter. Wrong word. That's a walk. Yeah, no, the black guy piece.

But, you know, in a metaphor, it works, I guess. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I'll show you the song later, though. Okay. Yeah, but I guess we can just go to the intro now. Wouldn't? Is there a new intro? No, there's not.

It's just the same one? I mean, it changes every week the what's in it, but it's the same intro as always. no explosions or I mean we could add explosions this week fuck it yeah let's go ahead and add some explosions and Watson loved me and the world was beautiful

do you think it's it's too much to do two songs back to like a bit with two songs back to back well you didn't even know it was a song so it's it's absolutely not too much well I knew it was this I knew we were creating something magical I just just didn't I was just going off of straight intuition I didn't know that it was based off of anything

to paint the joke a second time for the people who weren't paying attention in the intro. There were some people that probably... They were listening. They skipped the intro. Never worth it. The jokes always suck. The explosions might have got them in. Paying attention.

Yeah. And now that second time you did the joke, they're like, oh, okay. I get it now. Because it's a layered joke. Like an onion. It has layers. You know what else has layers? Cakes?

Cakes have layers. And the cake is a lie. God, we still got it. What were you singing, though? I like that. What? When Matt Watson loved me. Oh, remember the song from Toy Story 2 where, like, Jesse, when she's thinking of her

Homer, it's like, When somebody loved me. And the world was beautiful. Every hour we'd spend together. You know, it trails off from my memory at that point. Imagine Susan Boyle doing that one. one. It probably was Susan Boyle. Yeah, because they had to get like someone different from the voice actress to actually sing the song. Because people don't like usually connect a talking voice to a singing voice. Well, and John Cusack's sister does not have a, does not have the pipes to pull that one off.

Yeah. Joan Cusack. Isn't that fun? Thank you. Isn't that funny? Yeah, that's John and Joan of the parents. John and Joan. It's like, what, are they just some jokes to you? Unless they were twins, not cool. Yeah. But if they were twins, that's funny. It's cute if they were twins. Otherwise, it's just like the younger one would just feel like, what am I, just some fucking iteration of my older. I know.

It's like, I'm just the other gendered Joan or John. Like, that would be like, you know, I'm Matthew if my sister's name was like Madie. Yeah. Like with like M-A-D-D-Y. I don't know. Madeline? For me. I don't really have a close one.

I recognize. You know, back when I was a kid, the two roles that Joan Cusack just had in my, you know, his toy story, in my brain was Toy Story 2 and a school of rock where she plays the principal. She has a very interesting. She talks out of the side of her mouth and she has a very interesting voice. So why doesn't John Cusack talk like that? I think she's faking it. He does kind of sometimes.

He's more gruffled, though. When he voiced Igor, I heard none of it. Dude, Igor sucks. It's not even fun to like watch because it's bad. Okay. It's miserably like just off-puttingly bad. Our audience, you know. Uh-oh.

They're, they're, they're full of children. And they might think, oh, like the Tyler, the Creator album? No, we're talking the 2009 animated motion picture. 2009's an old ancient movie to the people. Like, I don't even know if it's 2009. Think about people who were born in 2005 can drink. Oh, what the frick? So yeah, 2009 is ancient, dude.

We're old. We're unks, dude. Dude. People that can drink. Yeah, I don't smell it. People that can now drink, get this, were four when Igor came out. The hell. Right?

That's fucked up, isn't it? That feels like last week. I saw, you know, not really, but it feels like last week when Igor was in theaters, man. I remember going, I saw that movie with my seventh grade. Some guys running this. It sucks. How time flies. Oh man.

I remember it was like, with my youth group to go see Igor. I went with my seventh grade algebra teacher. I remember that. It wasn't even a part of school or nothing. No, I don't know, dude. Hey, Matt, you want to go see a movie?

Dude, it was on a Saturday. And it wasn't even like a school trip. It was not a school trip. Did you go pick you up from your house? No. Did you meet him there? I, her.

I met her. there. Yeah, you did. The name was Miss Stack. Miss Stack. She should have owned a pancake shop. That would have been great. Instead, she decided to teach pre-algebra to Mrs. Stack stacks of pancakes.

And that's great. That's a fantastic. Or Miss Stacks. She was Miss Stack. She wasn't Mrs. Stack. Oh. Yeah. I mean, I'm pretty sure she was like, when you're a kid, your teachers always seem

like they're so much older. But like looking back, she was probably like 23 or 24. She was having that same thought about you. Damn, he acts so much older than... He's so much older than he looks. He's so mature for his age. Hate that we said that at the same time. Like, it's something that we frequently use.

Well, we hear Luke say it a lot. Sorry, Luke. Come on. And I know Luke's... Catch it astray. It's the first recording of the new year. And then you guys can't give it 10 minutes without, I was kind of like doing a hand motion to signify. You guys can't. I was acting along

with your mood. I got scared that. It was trying to betray. I was, it was a two-man show. You know, when you put the hands up and froze, I got scared for a moment there could be a gunman that was hiding in the shadows of the set. Because there's a pillar right there that you can't see behind and there could be a very thin gunman. No, technically how we're positioned, there could be a gunman that is perfectly a gunman. Or a gunman. Or a gunwoman. Or a gun person. A gun person.

A gun person behind that pillar right there pointing a gun at you and they could be perfectly blocked. And I wouldn't be able to tell. And they could actually be there right now and they're making you play it off. They're looking at you like. Yeah. It'd be insane if just halfway through just bha-ch. He just got lit up. You said insane.

So insane doesn't imply like a positive connotation. No, no, absolutely not. I'm sure to saw them it might be, right? Your eyes lit up, though. Like it didn't. Like it was Christmas, but I know it's nice. Christmas just happened. Christmas done.

Right. Christmas done. Christmas not, Christmas stop. Christmas passed. Right? Man, in 2026. Yeah, here we are, guys. I know that technically an episode of the podcast already came out in 2026.

That's because we pre-recorded episodes to make sure that. we were good for the holiday stretch. Correct. This is the first one we're recording in the new year. So welcome to 2026, guys. You know, I saw somebody posted a clip from an old podcast of ours where we were introducing the podcast and I think I said something. I was like, welcome to whenever you're listening to this.

You could even be listening to this in the year 2026. And you are now. Yeah, now you are. Or, well, I mean, for those that are like fresh and they catch the episodes as they come out, yeah, you are. But, you know, you could even be listening to this in the year like 2032. Set up another one. Yeah, I'm setting up another one. Someone's going to.

Bookmark. Someone's going to mine some fucking sweet Reddit gold. Reddit, remind me when. Yeah. You know? Someone, dude, someone's getting some updudes over that one. They have it saved and they're going to post that clip as soon as it's. January 1st, 2032.

Even if we're dead and don't through Super Mega anymore, it's getting posted on the subreddit. Sorry, I was just thinking about Reddit and then extending from that all the other social media apps and how they're now all of them. It used to be only a few of them. Now all of them are just rage baiting me.

Every last app I have continuously rage baits me. They're dangling a little string with a... And I'm easily baited, which is why I guess more of it comes up, you know. It'll be something it'll be something about the political and economic state of our world right now. Something to do with Asman Gold commenting on some serious problem that he has no earthly clue on.

And he's quoted as saying, what is it, that he's just intuitively right about most things, which is what a non-narcist does. But he is intuitively right on most things. How can you like look at that dude? Dude, I was talking to someone, I was like, imagine me saying that on a super mega cast. Imagine me just going like, and it just turns out that like, I don't know, I'm just intuitively like, just like, right about most things. So I feel like that just, you know, makes me right on most issues. Like, I'm just right most of the time.

I mean, that's the thing. Like my audience of millions tells me I'm right whenever I say something. So it's like intuitively I am right on most things. The problem's bigger than Asman Gold, of course. you know but he is uh he's he he gets on those r slash live stream fails or whatever the fuck that's oh yeah i had to unsubscribe from that that subreddit i started blocking subreddits now where i'm like you know what i'm literally just getting rage baited yeah you know whatever by by a bunch of millionaires i done or billionaires sometimes that's that's that's one of my

new year's resolutions is to try to try to not expose myself to so much uh uh uh rage-inducing material on the internet. It's like, if it's just going to make me mad, it's going to just like, it doesn't have to ruin my day, but I'm letting it enter my sphere, and I'm letting it have that power over me. And I don't...

Granted, you know, on our side, you know, instilling hatred towards minority groups while letting billionaire companies abuse and fuck the working class. A bit rage-inducing, I will say. A little bit. Yeah, because it's almost like our attentions are on problems that are not as comparable, let's say, to large corporations.

You know, we'll have this conversation another day. Right now, we got some ads. If you have nothing nice to say, you can sit with us. I'm Suzanne Lambert, comedian, mean girl, and internet menace, And this is the Mean But True podcast. Every week, a special guest tonight will talk pop culture, current events, romance, whatever we feel like. I don't know.

Are you a cop? We'll be keeping it funny, playful, and petty per usual. You cringe at the site of people posting QR codes to fund their own bachelor's parties. You need to know how to respond to that coworker with a bad haircut who's always making digs or just need to get something off your chest. Make sure to subscribe to Mean But True wherever you listen to podcasts. Unless, of course, you hate fun, in which case, don't. I'm Suzanne Lambert, and this is mean, but true. Hi, I'm Eric Voss from New Rockstars,

Sneak Peak is your one-stop shop for keeping up with Kevin Feigy and his brain trust of nerd producers. It's a weekly roundup of all the most important Marvel News so that you can start getting excited about the MCU's next big movie or series before there's even a trailer out.

should we expect? Not just from this phase or saga, but the next one, too. Part of the fun of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is being excited about the next chapter. And that excitement is exactly why we make Snake Peak. Listen for free on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

You know these artists for their songs, videos, and epic performances. But they have so many stories beyond their fame. The incredibly talented hosier, your parents got you bees. I was given this beautiful cedar hive. And then my neighbor gave me a suit and he was like, look, I'm going to show you how to do this. You have taken

to it. I really enjoyed it. And I have a couple of hives now. We sit down with some of the biggest names in music. And along the way, our guests reveal stories that even their biggest fans may have never heard before. Check out the Spout Podcast to hear famous people spout off about more than what they're famous for. Wherever you get your podcast. So everyone but those corporations that we support typically, you know, and are subject to maybe not support them, given the financial funding status in relation to us at a moment's notice. But as of now, do support them. I hate that going after the idea of the extremely wealthy has kind of become like an eye-rolling, like, oh my God, this fucking,

Lib speak. Because in my head it's just like, I don't know. Sounds, I don't know, I've been ingrained since childhood with movies that taught me that rich, greedy people are bad. So of course I hate them. The left made me hate them since my youth. Yep. When really their greed and wealth does nothing bad. It does nothing but good. More jobs, right? And I'll tell you, it trickles down. Oh yeah, baby. Since the 70s, it has been trickling down. It's called trickle down. It's called trickle down system, right? Yeah, I think. The trickle down system. The trickle-down theory. No, the trickle-down system is the one that has to do with rain. Oh, yeah. Um, trickle-down economics. I don't think that's it either. It was, it was Rogan, right? I'm saying it. It just, I mean, you look at it and it's,

it's really genius. It trickles down. It just, it trickles down. Jamie, Jamie, pull that up. It, it trickles down. Yeah, look at that. Look at that. I saw it. I saw it. Awesome. Funny you brought up Joe Rogan. There was some like podcast. He brought up like a chart to show, uh, what is it? Um, overdose deaths. I think it was between like, it was within a certain time period and it showed a decline like in kind of more recent years. And he was showing how that is a positive indicator or something of like, like, see what happens, you know. And this is, he said this. He said this. He went like, this is because, you know, Donald Trump's blowing up those boats that are bringing drugs in. When then when you look at the actual bar graph and go to the source or whatever, it's a, it's 2014 to 2024. So like the years that it's going down, he wasn't like president yet. And also even if like let's let's say that somehow did have to do with it, like that was so recent that like there's no way that that would. No, no. That there's that the data would represent that at this point.

No. And also, wasn't it like... Marijuana? Like two boats? You know? I know one of the boats they blew up had marijuana on it, which... Thank God. We're not going to have those marijuana overdoses now. I mean, it does take a million-something marijuana cigarettes to get a lethal dose of tetrahydro-canabinol.

It does, it does. And the Seth Rogen's, not the... Yeah, talk about two sides of the... Joe Rogans. Yeah, the opposite is the... The Joe Rogen. Joe Rogan and the Seth Rogan. Two opposite sides of the pothead coin.

Two brothers from the same kingdom. One is curly, just fluffy hair. The other's bald. One was cast out, cast aside down a dark path by... Well, no, but Joe Rogan smokes the M word as well. You know, apologies for... I think this stuff is just weighing heavy right now because, you know,

uh, recent, the most recent thing is just kind of, U.S. leaders posturing to fucking take Greenland. You know, there's the, what's his name? What's the bald guy's names? Donald Trump? Something Miller. Stephen Miller.

Stephen Miller's wife posted soon, in all caps, showing Greenland with American Stars and Stripes plastered over it. And then Trump responded, President Donald Trump, responded. The businessman? And they were like, so essentially. people like Greenland question mark? And he was like, ask me about Greenland in 20 days or something like that. Ask me again in 20 days.

Because they just did Venezuela. They just did them dirty. They just went to Venezuela. I woke up and I saw the news notification. I went to bed early for a change. And I, dude, every time I go to bed early is when the craziest shit happens. Did you do that with a Las Vegas shooting too? That.

And I also did that with when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. How could you miss that? I know. Like of the three events, that one is the most paranoid. Of all the events, that one's the most surprising. You miss that live? I did. I missed that live. And I literally, I fell asleep early and I woke up and I was like, damn, I usually don't go to sleep early. But I, you know, maybe I should start doing this more. It's probably good for my health. It is, it is. And then I checked my phone and saw Chris Rock did what at the Oscars? And I, you notice I didn't say Will Smith did what? I said Chris Rock because Chris Rock. Because Chris Rock. never should have made those jokes about Will Smith's wife. You're right. So I want people to know where I stand on that one.

And they do. Chris Rock had no fucking, no fucking place. Thank you. To be talking smack about anyone's wife. You know, talk smack about Will Smith's wife. Get smacked by Will Smith. By Will Smith's wife's wife. Because that's Will Smith still.

Will Smith's wife's husband wife. Will Smith's wife? Yeah. You're calling Will Smith a lady? I'm, so? Tucker came over on New Year's Eve and I don't know, one thing led to another. And we had some Will Smith music videos on the television. And I had never seen the full music video for, I like pretty girls.

You're doing that thing where you were with Tucker going, now show me this video, but everyone's naked? No. to with with Grock AI or whatever the fuck you use I don't even use I don't even know what that is but

just basically Will Smith was on the TV and yeah the music video is crazy especially if you put it in the prompt you and Tucker usually put in watching music videos

Dude I'll be honest dude I made a I made Grock do an epic vulgar roast of Will Smith yeah dude Grock did an epic vulgar roast Oh no

you're coming up Dude, you're gonna be actually, it's... If you're at a party and you get pretty, if you're at a party and you want something fun, if you want to impress everybody at the party, have Gwark do an epic vocal roast. And it said more vulgar. More vulgar.

And it's like a rocket launcher at the ass. It's so, it, dude, but Glock did an epic vogue. It's fucking awesome, dude. Grod called me the inward. It was fucking dumb. It goes there. It goes there. It's not afraid to call some of the end word. It'll call someone the N-word.

Have I told you the joke about the two scientists? Something about poop. I can't remember. Joe Rogan's like these fake laughter trying to suck up to them. What a time to be alive, baby. What a fucking time to be alive when you can make Grock do an epic vulgar roast. Exactly. There's a lot of good that's going on. Oh, yeah, there's always a lot of good.

More so in our personal lives. and, you know, you're, I don't want to spread the news, but you're getting a new baby brother. Actually, twins, I'm surprised you. Brothers. Baby brothers. So, very excited about being a new big brother.

You know, I'll be 30 on the born. Is there any, dude, Robert De Niro does that shit, except it's way worse. He just popped out a kid like a year, And this what aboutism is... It's getting out of hand, Ryan. It's Robert fucking De Niro, asshole.

He can do what he wants. He could plant his seed where he sees fit. Bitch. That's if Jesse Pinkman was in the chair instead of me. Okay, good. But now I'm taking the Pinkman out of the McGee. And you're just talking to McGee now. Just naked old Ryan.

I open my eyes and you're just fucking badass. because I was rubbing my eyes in exasperation at that joke. You know, you know who else did that besides De Niro? You're not confusing them, right? Or did they both do it? Robert De Niro had a child like two years ago. Because Al Pacino did too. I think it's like a, I have heard that they both, yeah, yeah.

I was going to mention Al Pacino, but I wasn't so sure on him. He did. Definitely sure on Robert DeNiro. Al Pacino. Is it just these old Italian dudes that are just like Eh, why not?

I can still do it. That's Al Pacino. Do you think they freeze their seed And use that? Or do you think they're, They gotta be shooting blanks at this point. I don't know. Well, I don't know if, if,

There's no menopause for men. Fuck yeah, or periods. Yeah. Yeah, it feels awesome, ladies. Trust me. Trust me. But honestly, I don't know. I feel like dudes can still shoot.

Okay, Timmy. Timmy. Sorry, you had a little cadence of Timmy when you went, I don't know. No, I had a little cadence of. It was adorable, you know. Oh, you're right. It is Timmy. No, no, no, of Jimmy, not Timmy.

Jimmy, not Jimmy. No. Timmy's the one with crutches. Jimmy's the one with crutches. You're right, because Timer. Yeah, yep, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. What a great audience. I love to.

Dude, Jimmy, Jimmy is the one of the. best South Park character. His stand-up era. Dude, his, honestly, I wish that they, uh, featured Jimmy more in modern South Park because there was like a period of South Park

where like he would get his own episodes. And no more. They were like the best episodes. I think the funniest episode of South Park, one of them, uh, it's in my top three is when, when Timmy and Jimmy joined the Crips.

It's just such a classic. Well, you used to get stories like that in media, but then, you know, you find out they were forced to be put in there by DEI, and it takes the flavor right out. The laughs I had were retracted instantly in my heart and my mind.

They've been sucked back up. Because I don't know if that story would have gone to one of the regular white kids, or if they just transplanted the story onto like Jimmy just for, just for clicks. That's the thing, man. For views. I think that story, line would have made just as much sense and been just as funny if it was about Cartman and Kyle.

Mm-hmm. Instead, they made it about Jimmy and Timmy. Wow, the dream team. P. Makes me mad, Watson. D.E.I. in my entertainment. Stop your... Oh, you're enraging me, dude.

You're building it up now. I'm going to have to punch something. Make games great again. We're going to make games great again. And Grock will do an epic vulgarose. I mean, there is like a subsect of people who legitimately are like, all these woke games are coming out. What woke games are there?

Like, I'm trying to think of like games that have come out in recent years that have been like woke. Forspoken if that game was whatever. People would probably say, what is it called? Something of midnight. I can't remember. I don't know. People typically attach woke to like anything non-white. But like, you know, there are, you know, you'll see.

I mean, you'll see. in movies and some games do it too where like actually I mean I can picture it more in movies I'm sure games do it but like have like have the kind of target mentality of diversity for diversity

sake it's more like this is a character and they're represented strictly and only through their let's say gayness and like they're not like a complex character they exist to be like just the gay character like the gay friend of whoever

so Ryan McGee come on Got you, man. I got you. I got you. You got to admit. No, I mean, I admitted it. I gave you a fist bump. Now, the people couldn't, the listeners couldn't see, but I did give you a fist bump. I mean, if the sound effect is in the audio version as well, they should be signified that the fist bump happened. It should. Let me take some, get some water real quick. Go ahead. I'll wait.

One, two. I was just one sip. I don't want to overdo it. All right. I don't want to overdo it. All right. I could drown. I know. You know if you drink enough water, you can drown yourself. That is true. You can get hyperhydrosis.

What we were, sorry, what we, I got scared talking about, uh, DEI and video games. Love it. I love it too. We're talking about, um, how, like, in, in some media, it's like, a character, uh, is, is gay. Or like, you'll, yeah, you'll get those moments, but I think, I think, like, generally what I've, what I've at least seen is there are, like, a huge subsect of people or a huge, uh, a huge group of people who get mad whenever anything has. as a quote-unquote inkling of being non-white,

non-kind of... I don't know how else to explain it, because, like, I'm looking at the arguments and, like, I don't really know what they mean by woke. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, when they're like, this is woke. The woke is kind of used as a blanket term to kind of...

To me, to kind of dog whistle to, like, this is a game where the black person's the lead character. Yeah, yeah. This is a woman who's not conventionally attractive. or whatever, you know. It's like a container that they can then put whatever they like kind of want behind it. The swaths of people attach their own idea of what woke is to it. It's a very like non, like, it's like a generic term.

So people are able to attach their own meaning to it in different variations of that while still meaning in general kind of the same thing that they can rally behind. I just like the idea that, like, for example, there's a studio, what are they called, CI games, whoever's in charge, whoever does Lords of the Fallen, it's like a soul's like game. They're marketing heavy right now on this, like, there's no DEI in this game, baby. This is a game, this is literally a quote, and I can read it out where they're like, this is a game made by adults for adults. Finally. And they're, they're like equating like, we're going to show sexy ones. women in games, like attributing that to being like, whoa!

Wait, like, this is going to do it. Yeah, they're, dude. They're finally going to show sexy women in video games. And they're going to show blood and gore and guts and shit. Wait, are you serious? Oh, yeah. Games are back, baby. This studio is going to show blood, guts, and breasts in a video game?

Here, you know, why summarize it myself when I can just go to the horse's mouth? Sorry, I had a fart and I was I'm, I appalled Oh, had another one, it's silent But boy, is it deadly Who I don't know, it doesn't, it smells actually Like lilac and gooseberries

Oh, where I saw gooseberries at the grocery store yesterday Gooseberries at the grocery store? Yeah, gooseberries at the good Luke, there's the episode title Did I not, hold on, hold on, hold on I'm just kidding, but that's a horrible title. Don't name it that. Please don't name it Gooseberries at the grocery store.

Hold on. I'm going to have to go straight to the source. I thought I screenshot it. Because I sent you some of the ones that are just kind of like eye-rolly where it's like, we're doing it now. Yep. We're for adults, baby. See this picture of Sidney Sweeney? Mm-hmm. Isn't she hot? That's essentially what the post was. As a quote from Ryan Hill, the, I think the art, one of the art, one of the,

art directors or mainline art director for the game? As I stated in a recent interview with IGN, which phenomenal feat, a game made by adults for adults when referencing the words of the fallen two. We're making the game we want to make. Pandering? No. But it shouldn't come as a surprise that an adult-oriented experience is resonating with exactly that.

Adults. Yes, a lot of the content will be 18 plus slash mature. We're not watering anything down. There's plenty of other games that already offer a safer form of fantasy. But that isn't us. What does it have to do with wokeness? That just sounds like trying to make a game that's like with mature themes. They don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

What does that have anything to do with DEI? They're using like these strong, like the word pandering is like, okay. They have two separate arguments. Yeah, I really don't understand. it. And like, oh, dude, there's, there's, there's so much from, so that was, so it's a horny game is, is what he's saying. Yeah, the game's gonna be rather horny. But we're in no, um, to complain that there is a quote, like a lack of horny gooner games is so out of the ballpark of reality because, yeah, look, stellar, stellar blade. You saw me play a little bit of that at the office. Isn't that Marvel game that's really big right now? Marvel Rivals has a lot of like skin tight or swimsuit type stuff. We also have Wu Chong Fallin Feathers, where the sweat is trickling down her breasts

as they bounce around as you're fighting demons and monsters. You have Bayoneta, a mainline platinum games IP that is beloved. Like, I don't think the gaming industry is trying to unsexify. It's like, I think it's because certain games have chosen a more real, realistic approach maybe, but like a more grounded approach to like how someone looks. Yeah, like this is a real character. This isn't hot lady Indiana Jones hybrid. Right. It's like just because we have like a female character, we're not necessarily always going to fucking make it, you know, like scantily clad. She has breasts and an ass. Yeah. Those childbearing hips. You know. Mm-hmm. You know.

Which it's just like, again, there, let me see if I can, there's a, there's a few tweets from this guy. Oh, there's a, he, he quote retweeted something and the tweet he quoted, and this is the CEO of CI Games. Merrick Timinsky, I think. I sent you a picture of him. This is, this is him. I wouldn't have guessed he had these views. It's kind of shocking to me. Someone said, turns out attractive characters really do make a difference.

Well, the number's said enough. And it's a thing because a lot of... So it's a screenshot, and I can send you this, Luke, of a trailer for Intergalactic and a trailer for Lords of the Fallen 2 and the kind of dislikes that happened because of it. Not because of their release, but there was a huge, because of The Last of Us Part 2. It created like a naughty dog hate group. Notty Dog being the people who made Uncharted, Crash Bandicoot, Love it makes high quality games.

Their games are great. But because of the way part two was handled in some people's minds, they fractured from being a fan to like haters. Right. And I think that spread to people who weren't even a part of like the fandom of naughty dog. And it kind of just became collectively kind of like an easy dunk for that side. Like they wouldn't have cared to begin with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like a lot of people, you know, and I can't, you know, a lot of people didn't like the story that I'm not talking about people who just had minor complaints on that end. It's people who would rant and rave and became kind of like, who foamed at the mouth at the thought of like a trans character being represented in this world.

Or a female character who has more of a stocky build than your typical female. That's disgusting. Yeah, come on. But it's just like, there's so many problems. It's hard to like get into. I don't want to like cherry pick and I don't want to like kind of say all the people who dislike the Last of Us part two. Don't like it for this one reason. I'm saying there's a large group of people who are of that anti-woke mindset who do hate on it.

Yeah. So that's just kind of there's there's this fracturing that happened. And now you have swathes of gamers kind of. painting this unrealistic narrative that, you know, the DEI has been ruining games and woke has been ruining games and making them unsexy and making them shit. Okay. And I don't really know, like, a lot of the arguments, honestly,

for like how any of these things are impacting the game industry to a level where gamers are being affected and games aren't releasing that sometimes cater to one group and sometimes cater to another, you know? is my like maybe I just don't get it but like for these people is playing a video game like a sexual act for them I don't

it's like it's like a fucking like is it like the people who would go to strip clubs in Grand Theft Auto and jerk off yeah like it is which hey they're there for a reason I guess yeah but honestly

like to these people like is this like an inherent part of gaming? It has to be like a sexual experience for them where they get horny and like they can jack off. I don't know, dude. Go watch some porn. Like why does this specific thing like,

why is it so intertwined with being sexual and like making you get your rocks off? I don't understand. Because it's mature. Like is gaming sexual for you? Uh, no. But like I, you know, like in to try to even meet.

somewhere midway, I'll say like, when there's a customer, uh, customer, when there's like a character creator or when there are characters within a game, sometimes, you know, it's, it's nice for like, certain games where the character models are in the, and the, and the, and the clothing and everything, like, is visually pleasing to the eye. Yeah, I know what you mean. Like, sir. So, like, when I'm creating a character, it's either going to be a fucking, grotesque monster

or I'm going to try to make them look somewhat like not attractive but pleasing to the eye where it's like this is a character that would exist in real life and it's not like a big-eyed anime whatever which people can make whatever they want that's the beauty of character customizers

but I guess just to get back to the meat of it yeah I don't there's no inherent there's no sexual like I'm not deriving any sort of like from like anything that I'm doing when gaming like I guess it comes down to like the monkey part of the brain sometimes we're like damn that's a hot person you know that's a hot babe

like yeah I don't know like damn look at look at her design they really they really went all out on her listen man I don't want to play video game unless I can jack off to it but yeah hold on where's a Merrick also tweeted at one point uh reject an agenda acknowledge normalcy. When he was quote retweeting, like, Drew knows, target Lords of the Fallen 2, clown emoji demands political conformity. Which, I'm gonna be honest.

That's a beautiful thing of the internet. You can probably find anyone saying something. Yeah. There's no larger backlash or call for Lords of the Fallen to be like, whoa, this is too much. You've made it way too violent. You've made it.

Dude, you made it way too sexy. These girls are too hot. What are you doing? Like there's no like that going. Oh, God. Okay. That's a, he did another one,

which I love this one because of the formatting of how he tweeted this out. He put out a text tweet, put a picture uncropped of a YouTube thumbnail. Mm-hmm. And then below that put the link to the YouTube video that he screenshoted. It says,

gaming belongs to gamers now, not to activists. Yes. Oh, just the format. It's like one part him and one part how bad Twitter's formatting is. Here, what's, read this tweet. Let's settle this. How important are sexy, beautiful characters. Calling them sexy beautiful characters.

It's like some Christian shit. It's a poll he did, and what are the options? How important are sexy, beautiful characters in RPG games? Very important. Important to some degree. Or not important at all. He's getting the numbers, Matt. He's doing the math.

All right, so, I mean, very important. It won. It did win. By a landslide. He didn't. Not by a landslide. If you combine the other two choices, I mean... He also goes,

political correctness is bad for gaming. It's about escape. I'm like, bro, we're not in like, I feel like this is coming straight out of 2016. You know what I mean? Like Gamergate? Yeah, like that era of like, I'm like, where did this?

I don't know, I feel like, I don't know. I didn't know this was even a problem for these people. Oh, here's one, wait, hold on. Can you read, a fan asked him a question, and then can you read his response to that fan? So the fan says, Or the fan asks of the CEO. The fan asks, I'm going to buy the game, definitely.

Will there be attractive female characters? And will there be revealing outfits and armor for them? In response, Merrick says, yes. Dude, he drops that yes like a brick. He goes, yes. That was a mic drop momiform. You know, the guy asked that question, he goes, yes. The crowd goes wild.

There's another tweet. Sorry, maybe, last one, I know we're getting on this, but there's, he quote retweeted, this one's so good,

he quote retweeted this one that said, uh, so he quote retweets an account that I think I've seen pop up a few times. I don't really recognize them. Uh, what are they?

I'm familiar with their game. Are they like a kind of a, yeah, okay. They're a shithead. Mm-hmm. Well, they're like,

their tweet was, these people are terrified. you might put an attractive woman in your game and go all out to attack the dev for it to Menske-Maric, CEO of CI Games. And it's just like he's like showing screenshots of like a few people. As I said, on the internet, there's going to be people complaining. There's got people have a voice. They can say whatever they want, of course.

And I'm not saying that he needs to stop. I guess my whole thing of, well, Merrick did quote retweet that. And he said, exactly. Insane censorship is over. I'm tired of not having sexy women. in video games. I want to see boobies. Every time I play a video game, all it is is sexy men. Every time

it's just hot men with their washboard abs and their fucking big throbbing muscles every single time and I'm tired of being turned on by that. I want to be turned on by women. Dude, there is no shortage of like gooner specific games that are even like decent in gameplay.

Like, there are still games for a wide variety of different sets of people that still come out and they can enjoy it. They also acts like this is the only place like that they, this is the only like outlet they have sexually. Like they, it's almost like they don't even know that like pornography exists or any anything. So it's like, it's like this is the only way they can, you know, see the opposite, you know, sex naked. And I can make them do what I want them to do.

And the left is trying to take that away. They're trying to take that away. So of course they're going to react this way. I can get them on a staircase and then invert the camera to see them. I don't want to see under the what's going. I don't want to see what's going on. By the way, those tutorials you sent me. Very helpful.

Thank you. Hey, there's a lot of games that have wall glitches that it makes it easier to see what's within. You know, I don't want to see. There's only so much you can say. You had me glitching out my walls. I'll say that. Fis bomb. And honestly, like, the whole thing where it's like, the whole thing where it's like, they're terrified of an attractive moment.

It's like, you got me. You got me. I was actually, I was so fucking scared that they were going to put. a sexy babe in a video game in 2026 and looks like my year's fucking ruined. It looks like they're actually going to do it, the madmen. Most of the people complaining in my mind can't be playing, like can't be gamers, quote, quote, because I play video games, like it's a main hobby of mine. I don't think any of them have ever seen a woman naked. Bro, like, again, I play video games as a main hobby and I, I guess, yes, subjective opinion, there is no shortage of a certain type of game

for someone who wants to play a certain type of game. If you want a kind of a realistic sim game that's brutal and like you work 50 hours to lose it all in 30 seconds, there's that game for you. There's more chill sims out there. There's first person shooters, third person shooters with their varying genres. It's just like there's so much that comes out

that it's beyond me, that, like, people can seriously try to make it a talking point that, like, we're bringing sexy back in video games, baby. We're making Animal Crossing sexy again. It's like, is that what they're? Like, do they want, like, sexiness to infect every video game or else that video game is woke and gay? Your video game's gay as fuck. No.

No! Please! Like, I don't know. It seems more of a, it seems more of a overall. it's just a vessel that they can throw this this rage into and kind of shape-shift it into you know and I'm not trying to spurn hate towards these people of course for me though they are the voice of the game and they are marketing the game in their own way I find it to be cringe and I and I think that it's targeting targeting a crowd and

again, not all these people fall into it, or not everyone falls into this, whatever. But it's targeting a crowd that lacks empathy and is very much about just like vitriol and spreading pain and hurt and hate. Absolutely. So that's why for me, it's like, it's hard for me to get excited about a game

which the only thing I've heard about is like, yeah, we're going to make it sexy and it's four adults, no more pandering, no, blah, blah. It's just like, it's just cringe and annoying. You and I, uh... And sad to see. When we release our first video game, uh, you and I, we need to just at some point in the game just include like an unlockable picture of tits and be like, yeah, we're not afraid to go there. We're going to make this game sexy and no woke libtar's going to stop us, all right?

You can see tits? I have to pee. I have to pee as well. I just, all of a sudden I had to be. Got me fucking... Thinking of tits. Thinking of tits. I got a tithes.

Fuck, thinking of those big melons. Thinking of some jugs. Some jugs with the notches on them. Yeah, it's time to piss. That's piss time. Hi, I'm Jessica Clemens from New Rock Stars.

From Aaron is the funny one. That's right. So me and the old ball and Shane like to host little games and quizzes such as... Is this a rock band or a racehorse? Which celebrity tweeted cringe? Is this an Alex Jones quote or an onion headline? Skateboarding trick or Red Hot Chili Peppers lyric. Is this a Pokemon?

or a pharmaceutical medication. And many, many more. We also do horoscopes. Wait, no, come back. Ah, shoot, we scared them off. Oh, well. Hey, if you're still here, check out Aaron is the funny one.

Please subscribe, or I will drink this wine, and that is a threat. Wow, cool threat, honey. Thanks. Whoa, what's mad got to do? Got to do with it. What's mad but a white, man in motion.

That's right. I'm out here with some motion this year. Like Timothy Shalamette. Met. Okay. Shalamette. I pronounce it

Shalamee every time. No. You get me on that quickly. Shalamette. You almost add it right by the way. Chalamette. I don't want to like spoil the movie or anything but

Matt and I's reviews are in for Marty Supreme. Bingo! Martin Supreme by the way. Go watch that shit in theaters if you can. Yeah. I saw Martin Supreme with Tucker on New Year's Day. And I saw it with my buddies, like my childhood buddies from South Carolina. I wish I could have seen it with you.

I know. You know. We would have been frothing at them. Yeah, let's just say that movie wasn't too woke. Oh, no. That opening scene, that wasn't woke at all. Oh, no, baby. Fuck, I was bricked up sitting in that theater.

I was too. I just could not. I had to go take several restroom breaks. Did you have to go pop one off in the bathroom? Yeah, right after the beginning, the opening scene, there was a scene later on too. And then there was even a scene in the shower at some point. Oh, yeah, there was like, whew! And, oh, well, I was able to bust one sneakily during the, uh, the central park scene.

I had prepared the past three, and there wasn't as much. Do you use your old condom trick? The old condom trick works for that too. Not just piss. Nope. Dude, I actually, when I was seen Marty Supreme,

it was like halfway through the movie and I had to pee so bad. And I was really like, that movie is a lot, it just keeps happening. And I was like, I don't want to get up and miss it. Fuck.

And I genuinely was thinking to myself about your little tip on a previous podcast episode. It's useful. If you want to fill people in real quick on what that was. You use a condom to contain the piss because there's even a reservoir which is meant to expand.

Right. So it's no fear of busting. Right. Not just that little reservoir is not just for semen. Yeah, the whole thing acts as a containment device for urine. Or semen. If you want to mix the two honestly, it solidifies and becomes a little more stable of a substance. It's like a margarine.

It's disgusting, dude. Hey, you know, big bucket of popcorn. Hey, yo. I didn't put butter on this. Whoa. I did. That's my seaman in piss. No, but I literally half with you the movie, I kept thinking about that.

I kept thinking about your method. And I was like, God damn, dude, if I had a condom on right now. I did go to the restroom once and I was informed that I only missed out on, I don't even know if it's important to the movie. I'm going to say it because it's not really a spoiler. It's not like a plot point that hinges on anything. But it's a scene where apparently there's a group of people licking someone's nipple. Oh, you missed that part? Yeah.

Because it was right. There was a conversation that was kind of on the, I felt like I got the meat of what was going on. I'm like, okay. If I go real quick. But it was one of those movie theaters where like the bathroom is out in the lobby. And we were the last theater down. in the building so it's like I timed myself

I managed to only miss two and a half minutes of the movie and you missed quite a quite a stellar moment well I'm gonna hopefully go rewatch it soon so I can I'm tempted to tell you but it's it's it's it's not a spoiler like it's not one of the other players gets his nipples licked in Auschwitz

no no I'm serious it's a flashback sequence it is what what yeah no I'm not fucking with you It really is. In Auschwitz? Uh-huh. I said that oddly, but...

You said it a little... A little suspicious, a little too good. You said it with a bit of a little stank on there. Owl. Owlswitz. No, no, I'm not kidding. It's like the only flashback scene in the movie. And it's in Auschwitz.

I'm not fucking with you. And I see the look on your face. Because think about who was telling the story. Yeah. Oh, it was the other ping pong guy. No. Yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Because he had the number. Yep. Okay. It's the part where Kevin O'Leary's talking to him, right? Yes. It's right after when he was talking to Kevin O'Leary.

I really thought that I could, and my friend was like, you're not going to believe. Like, I'm not fucking with you, but this guy gets his nipples licked. He didn't, he didn't say Auschwitz at all. He didn't say, he just said that this guy got his nipples lick. Because he's telling a story about when he was back in the camps. Which I'm not a big fan of getting my nipples licked. Well, I'm not a big fan of Auschwitz, to be clear. You just your teeth are fucking, he's like, I wish you could retract.

Conversation for after the podcast. Sorry, go on. Yeah, but basically, no, but he's telling this story and it like does, it does a full, like, flashback thing. Is there a flash? Dude, they don't do that anymore with flashbacks and movies. They don't do the... Does it pan up to the sky and then go white And come back down on a...

I wish, you know? With like a soft glow around the edges, like a soft white vignette. Or a cross dissolve Where the younger person is in the same position As the older person. Or one of those, but instead of a cross dissolve,

it's almost like a water... A morph cut type thing. Oh, like they're looking at a reflection... Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's got like a almost like a small chime sound like... Like, like a small chime sound. one where it starts with a guy looking at his reflection, then it moves in the window and

rotates, and then by the time it's looking at him looking out of the window from the other angle, it's... Yep. Yep. It's the other time period. See, we know these shortcuts. We can direct a funny little movie for you, MGM. You know, they recently... MGM. MGM, it's the lion. That's true. I mean, I guess like if Netflix and shit ain't writing back, might as well start going for... Well, MGM's starting to put out anything. They're the ones releasing the Melania documentary. Really? Here we go again Have you seen the trailer?

No Oh my God, dude Does she make Grock do an epic vulgar roast? I just The opening is so funny Because it's one of those like Corny Opening lines to like a documentary

Of like things are about to get going But it's Melania Trump And it's so fucking funny In her fucking hat Sorry one more time So you can breathe in it Here we go again You better get ready for his

one. Put your 3D glasses on. Put your 3D glasses on now. Dude, her outfit in that with her hat, dude. It's goofy, dude. It's like the hat man. It's like some shit you'd see after taking too much Benadryl. Like the Babadook. Exactly. The Melania in 4D experience. Here we go again. The violin comes in. By the way, she doesn't have an accent. She just has a speech impediment. Yeah. Here we go again. She lost her tongue. Yeah. In a game of human hungry. hippo that only the rich play and bet money on. Bastards, man. The shit the rich do is, it's fucked up.

And I'm not going to make fun of her for that because it's brutal. We know someone that lost their tongue the same way. Yep. And instead of the white, you know, it's not like marbles or anything, of course. It's pieces of doo-do, poo-poo. I'm kidding. I don't know. I have to poop, so that's the first thing that came to mind in my ear.

You know, eyeballs would have been like the easier, easiest. But I have to poop. poop made out of eyeballs. Okay. Because you ate so many eyeballs. Well, guys, you can go to our Patreon right now. If you want to support this. Dude, when I laughed right there, I let out another one.

Dude, come, dude. Stop, dude. If you guys want to support the show, you can go to our Patreon. And you could get your name, like these names right here. You can get your name as a producer or executive producer. Right? I hope we're pointing the right direction. I think so.

So we can't, like, get into the next thing. We're going to have to take like a five-minute bray. I do apologize. It is going to waste pressures. Thank you to all of our... Podcast producers. And everyone who's listening, be it today, tomorrow, or Ryan. I lost the fucking mic.
