But GTA 6 appears to be ready to come out. I, as a boy, I'm a little ashamed to say this. I played GTA, especially in Vice City. I played a lot.

I did. I'm not saying I'm proud of that. I did. And now, all these years later, we are getting the most degenerate, botched, lifelike version of this vicious, vicious game. So in anticipation, here are the memes. They're going to be doing all the jobs. It's kind of like in World War II.

You know, when all the women had to take all the factory jobs because the men were off fighting war. Except in this case, instead of fighting war and liberating Europe, the men will be playing violent and in some cases pornographic video games. Before we get to this next one, I got to give you a little bit of context. Okay. So in the game, you have to maintain a relationship with your girlfriend. So that means you have to text her back on time or else it affects like your game progress. You have to take her shopping.

You have to take her on dates. Is that real? Really? It's real. You have to do that. It's very immersive. So use that context for some of the clips that you're about to watch. Okay.

I really don't need you on my bumper right now, man. Look, you angry. I get it. Cool. We all telling Billy. Let me. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay.

It's too much. It's too many layers. I don't, it's too much. I don't even know who that guy is. I don't, it doesn't. I'm too much of a boomer for that one. Okay, next one. Is that the hooker symbol?

That's got to be the hooker symbol, right? He wants to go get a hooker. Yeah, that is, it's funny. I was trying to think, will I play GTA 6? Because, you know, now I'm not like 16 anymore. I'm 36 years young. You know, a lady never tells. Back when dinosaurs first roamed the earth.

Even more than the gratuitous violence, which is probably not good for my soul. I think the hooker stuff might be worse, right? It is crazy. You'd pick up and kill hookers. It was like a big part of the game. I've never played it, but Jacob just informed me that the stiletto is actually the strip club. Oh. Wait, there's a strip club in the game?

Yeah. Because, you know, at least with the hooker one, and again, I'm. I'm basing this on Grand Theft Auto Vice City. It was like you'd pick up the girl and then the car would just sort of shake a little. So it was suggestive, but it wasn't explicit. And then the hooker would get out and you'd shoot it. It's generally how you play the game. So that there's a strip club.

But now the graphics are so good. I bet that's like real pornography. Another piece of context. Part of the reason they pushed it is because they were developing this thing called a jiggle physics. Jiggle physics? What's jiggle physics? I don't want to know what jiggle physics is.

You know what? Forget I asked. Forget I asked about the whole thing. Next one. Please. I'm sorry. Please. Should have fuck up, man. Should have fucking.

Please. Because you're a good girl. You know it. I'll just hope. Yeah, I don't know. The girlfriend theme, it's not doing a lot for me. I don't, because I don't know. I don't really text anyone ever.

So this idea of like, you got to text your girlfriend back. You got to take her shopping. I've basically never done any of that ever. So I don't get it. If I were as simple. like professor jacob i would probably get it more but i don't i don't understand that next one because you get to stay home and play video games for two years do you get it yeah that's funny i like that's nice now go to tecovis dot com slash knolls canna w l-es there are days when you put real thought

into what you're wearing and then there are days when the formula is jeans shirt done well fortunately this is where a good pair of boots can do the most work for you tocovis has the best boots i've I absolutely love Toccova's boots. They're the only ones that I can even pull off. I get more compliments on them than I get on basically any shoe that I wear. They also make great wallets. My wallet, I'm so in on Tocobos, man. They make these really beautiful wallets.

I have this alligator wallet from them. Ticova's boots are handcrafted for more than 200 individual steps using premium leather and traditional construction. The other thing that's surprised a lot of people is how comfortable they are. They're phenomenal. They're like broken in the second you try them. If you're like me and you can't quite pull off the cowboy boot as much, their loafers are just the slipper is so great right now get 10% off at tecobos.com

And my wife is like normal, so I don't, yeah, I know it doesn't ring as true. I understand, I know women do be like that sometimes. Some people don't think it be like it is, but it do. I know, I just, it doesn't, it doesn't ring true to me.

The thing that really most upsets me about that meme is that you download the video game. Because the last time I played video games, they came, they came on something called a compact disc. I don't know if you were familiar with those. CDs. No one has CDs anymore. Oh, sweetheart. They were like round, shiny objects that you would put into a machine,

and then you would load it. Well, first you'd put the cheat disk in and get all the cheats loaded in, and then you'd put the game in and loaded in something called a PlayStation 2. And then that's how you would play it. So now, you just download all video games now. You download the new ones now, but back in the disc days, did you remember the name that the UK came up with for all the men not going up to work? It was the GTA flu.

The GTA flu. It reported two million people that didn't show up to work. And between L.A. and New York, it was up to 6% of working men called in. So who knows what's going to happen this time once they tell on this. Yeah, they're going to start a pandemic. It's kind of sad that you don't buy the disc. I mean, I get it. I get why you don't.

But that means that the video game show. Well, no, what happened? Wasn't GameStop going to IPO for like $50 billion a few years ago? Like, they obviously still exist. Huh. Next one. What? It ain't my fault.

He ran right in front of my truck. Yeah, I know. I mean, that... I remember when I would play... This is, I'm confessing too much, but when I would play Vice City, I would almost never do the mission. I would sometimes do the missions. But I mostly would just go around killing people and running them over for hours. I would just do that for hours. No story.

No, it was like, kind of like hell. It was like a vision of hell. And I did it anyway, because it's attractive when you cultivate vice. It was called Vice. Those are like actual NPCs. I actually was having trouble with metaphor there because the NPC is the non-playing character in the video game, but now we use it as a metaphor

for unthinking people walking around in the real world. But in this case, we were actually back to the literal. Okay, next one. Yeah, I don't... Okay, it's like a funny meme. but I don't. The thing that bothers me about this meme is that they raised his voice up. It's like hat on hat. It's a joke on joke. I don't know. What was the significance? It'd be just funny but it was him saying. But they have to make it in this absolutely addled generation.

They just have to make everything even crazier, you know, and so they raise the voice. It doesn't, it made it less funny. Okay, when's it come out? When does the game come out? Is anybody there? Hello, Bueller? Anybody? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? No. Okay. Well, whenever it comes out, should I play it? Are you going to play it? Should I play it? Let me know in the comments. See you next time.
