Hey, everybody, and welcome to this special Friday edition of What's the Difference Between DZ and You? You see that DZ and You? That was nice. And look, maybe I kind of messed with the convention, but I had to because it's Friday and it's my day. It is your day and your way.

Thank you. Who's that spooky ghost with a kind voice? No, it's Daniel Goodman, DJ Daniel. That's right. If I'm doing the trends now, you can bet your buns I did the daily earlier. What's the highfalutin version of doing a dance hall air horn? That's a good question. I tend to go...

Someone tells me it's just the single long train horn. That's a code horn. Because you kind of want, you need the energy. You do. You do. Maybe just. Good day to you. And like if it was like in Bridgerton or like the Gilded Age.

Now announcing Mr. Donald Goodman. Pya! But you have to do pya. Pya! See? Anyway, it's Friday. Let's get to what's trending. January 6th. Nothing to see here, folks. It's trending. Nothing to see here.

Move along. Don't be horrified by everything you already saw. Yeah, the see here folks it's trending nothing to see here move along no reason don't be horrified by everything you already saw no uh yeah the uh you know kuchela kicked off last night people were loving it um i don't think some people were loving i don't know who was loving it uh it was alarming um unless you watch fox news in which case they're like don't even worry about it not showing it at all it's an l honestly it's an l don't worry about it then there's another thing also trending along with all the january 6th stuff like there was like trump was saying like how he ordered like troops to the capital there's no evidence to suggest that he ever actually made that order there's

also jenny thomas clarence thomas's wife not just electing a couple a couple Arizona electors about like nullifying the will of the people and giving it up for Trump. Twenty nine electors in Arizona. Twenty nine reached out to anyway. So her husband's in the Supreme Court and everything's OK. Nothing. No need to investigate that at all. No need to figure out how to change anything. No.

You know, we'll see what happens. how to change anything. We'll see what happens. There's also, many people are also waiting for the other shoe to drop with many Supreme Court decisions this month. Stay tuned, folks. We're just getting started. MAGA gang is also trending, not

because Daniel, his Twitter's trending or something like that because he MAGA gang. No one would believe that. no one would believe that no one would believe that i appreciate that that's such a joke though that's affirming that's affirming that's why i'm like why are you even acting like come on dude i'm like nobody ever in their life would believe that but who knows man who knows you know i think you know the reason why is because you're not a stand-up comedian yeah so there comedian. I really don't see a path.

Because you got through Gamergate and you ended up on the right side. Exactly. Thank God. No one dug through those old tweets. Oh, no. Check this out. Speaking of talking like an old DJ. I want to talk about Joe Byron. Because he's just letting you know.

The MAGA gang is trending because Joe Biden is just saying, this ain't your grandfather who was a terrible segregationist Republican Party. This is something else. And folks, you know, it's not right. It's simply not right. And I disagree. And that's what, look, this is not your father's Republican Party. This is a different deal.

It really is. I've worked with a lot of honorable Republicans, very conservative Republicans over the year when I was a senator. But this is the MAGA gang. Oh. This is the MAGA crowd. I really mean it. They have a fundamentally different view of the role of government and who should pay what. I mean, that is true.

But that is most people i mean honestly most people in government also have a fundamentally different view of the role of the government from most people so yes but yes i think like he's saying on the heels of what everyone saw like at the uh january 6th hearing they're like you know this is something different yeah and still managing the handhold throughout that being like, now we know there are still good Republicans when we love our good Republicans. But this ain't them.

This ain't them. This ain't you. No, you want the ghouls like Mitch McConnell, you know, the good ones. Who you just respect so much. What the fuck? Joe, no. My guy gang, no.

Let's also talk about some games just really quick i saw that the ninja turtles game is about to drizzy ninja turtles game summer game fest 2022 pop in lots of game announcements indie titles getting the shine what can i pick up on my nintendo switch just tell me what i'm new to the switch life tell me what i... Is there anything of the new games that are being announced? You're like, hey, that's coming out. You might want to check that out. Well, they're not coming out for a minute, but Plucky Squire is going to be real fun. Devolver always makes a dope game. Gotta peep that. What's that?

What's Plucky Squiner? Plucky Squire is basically like an adventure game where you play as a little creepy night dude, but you're playing on a storybook and it's too... I take that back. He's not creepy at all. He's very sweet and cute. It's a little creepy night dude, but you're playing on a storybook and it's too... I take that back. He's not creepy at all. He's very sweet and cute. It's a little cartoon night dude and you're playing in a book. I like how you apologize

to the intellectual property of Devolver Digital. You know what? I can't disrespect him. This is why you're MAGA. Because you're ruthless and you don't... All you care... You're just lizard brain mode all the time. Totally lizard brain mode 24-7. Fuck brain little knight fuck that night no little white knight trying to protect his mega buddies uh you play so he plays a little night and it's kind of like if you played it takes two and you're like

kind of a small small like toy playing in a big regular people's world yeah similar to that but devolver digital always makes a great game so I'm stoked about that. Stoked about. Wait, so you're a little, oh, so you're just like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids night type? Yeah, literally.

Oh. Yeah, you tiny little toy. You tiny little toy. Did you see that mobile ad for the game that's like a multi-person shooter that's like using

like a toy store? Oh, yes. I did see that. Is that legit or is that like a fantasy ad where like you buy it and then it's like help bear eat exactly tree exactly there is a there is a real version of that but right now the way the guy has it it's just like yeah you could be a toy and jump around this world people

like so is there like multiplayer is there game modes is all this shit and he's like i'm working on that just look at that though you could be in this thing okay i'm gonna look at that you could be a little small soldier jumping off a shelf. I think this is relevant, though. Sure. I mean, and shout out to Creepy Little Nights also. They're not creepy, okay? Not creepy.

Not creepy, okay? For the record, officially. The Ninja Turtles game that's coming out. This probably resonates for the geriatric millennials out there. Yes. Because it is very... Is it essentially like a updated version of the four-person arcade

Ninja Turtle game that we used to play so much at somebody's pizza party? Correct. Shredder's Revenge. Very excited about that. I'm trying to see what it is. And you know what it's coming to? It's coming to the Swizzy, baby! I know. And if you have a couple other

Joy consoles, and guess what? You and your buds can just load up on, play some Donatello, play some Michelangelo, go kick some Shredder booty. It'll be a great time. I think that'll be a great game. And this is, honestly, if I'm being real, I think there is a push towards multiplayer,

couch co-op, indie titles. I've been saying. You don't need all these crazy graphics anymore i'm loving it that they're like let's make titles for just the people we enjoy we have to get back to basics back and it's our responsibility as the the last generation to straddle the digital era with the getting dirt all up in your face era of childhood that like I talk about this all the time when I lament with my friends like I got a PS5 and there ain't no games

I can play and just be like hey man everybody grab a controller I remember back in the day when like Rainbow Six first came out you could play that shit with like two people like so many games you could split screen why aren't we doing that like I'm saying that's what I want to do. I want to hand everybody control and say,

let's fucking go somewhere together. And I get online, but there's something different about doing it in person. And I yearn for that as a 37-year-old. In the world of video games, there's so much space that's being taken up by huge developers your sony's your microsoft's your activision's your blizzard's like all of these big companies making huge your ea is making these like huge triple a titles so much money blah blah blah and nintendo has been sitting there serving the couch co-op community for generations and generations your

war your mario parties your mario karts like using their ip your switch your switch sports the couch co-op community for generations and generations. Your WarioWares, your Mario Parties, your Mario Karts. Like using their IP, your Switch Sports. All of these games to like get you playing with your friends in the space again.

Everybody needs to take a lesson. Everyone needs to take a lesson from their book. It's a community thing. It's a fun thing. It doesn't have to be like this art piece, whatever that every game is nowadays.

Sometimes you just need to push some motherfucker off a ledge. Thank you. And mash a bunch of buttons. Thank you. Shout out Gang Beasts. You know what I mean? Good game. Easy. Props. Easy. Because those are games you're like, man, you don't even know how to do shit, man. Just throw this motherfucker off the ledge.

Be free. Enjoy your life. Spend your money. Also, hey, Britney Spears, if you want, like, I'm getting into crypto. If you want to go in on a couple projects I've got going, hit me up. You know, Zyke Coins. I got some poison coins. I got some real shit coins that are really stinking up the place.

I got some toxic coins with your name on them. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Justin Bieber is trending because he canceled a bunch of shows and he said it's not COVID related. And then recently he revealed that he has Ramsey Hunt syndrome, which

gave him like a partial facial paralysis. And he's saying, this is the reason why I'm not touring and posted this video. And they say it's occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near the ear, which can cause facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear. So he's saying he's like trying to, you know,

he's working to get this, the control back in his face and that he will be back out there. But I, I potentially, I think the way he was saying is like, it's my body telling me that I need to slow down. get the control back in his face and that he will be back out there. Potentially, I think the way he was saying it, it's my body telling me that I need to slow down. I don't know how he was just out there just touring like a machine.

He's recovering. I do hope he recovers. Just a little pop culture corner right there. I never wish ills on our entertainers. I don't wish ills on our entertainers. I don't wish ills on anybody unless they're, you know, dot, dot, dot. Redacted.

And there's Multiverses as well, which is the WB universe, in case you ever wanted to go as Arya Stark and fight Shaggy. Just in case. Shaggy? It wasn't me.
