Starting point is 00:00:31 On eBay, every find has a story. Like if you're looking for a vintage ban tea. Not just a tea, the band tea. You wore it everywhere. Until your BFF stole it. Now you're on eBay. And there it is. Same tea from the same tour.
Starting point is 00:00:49 The things you love have a way of finding their way back to you, especially on eBay. Where else can you find that mint trading card you searched everywhere for? or your first car, the one you wished you never sold. It has to be eBay. Shop eBay for millions of fines, each with a story. eBay, things people love. You say one comment and we just start fighting.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Just be respectful and keep your fucking eyes off me. How about that, right? All right. Hey, look, it's a little dead meme. Hey, everybody, wakey, wakey, ex and Jakey. Welcome to the Snark Tank podcast. is to shoot the shit show with no direction and barely any concept of consistency. I'm joined today, as always, by my roommate, Tom Sweeney.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Hi, guys, I'm Thomas Swinard. What's going on? And today we're joined by a YouTube funny man, video game funny man, Disney Channel original movie funny man. Naky Jakey. Coming soon to own on video and DHS. It's me. Let's watch a Disney Channel movie. Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Did you watch Disney Channel original movies when you're gone? Don't ask me that question. It's a good question. Some people don't. Like, I've talked to people who literally actually have never heard of Smart House. That movie scared to fuck out of me. It's, it's scary. I watched it when I made the video on it, and it holds up.
Starting point is 00:02:19 It's still scary. Yeah, the actress lady, she's got a gaze about her. She was like, this is my fucking family now. Like, she made a choice. It's really fucking, really off-fitting kid. She made, like, a very, like, it's like some pirating shit. It's like, this is mine. It's like, you belong to me.
Starting point is 00:02:38 It's like, Will I am ripping off people's music. Like you made this, you made these kids, I made these kids. This is my house. It's like Carlos Mincea all over. It's like instead of stealing a joke, it's like you steal a whole family. I mean, Carlsoncia probably stole a couple families at least. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised, but I, you know, I hope better for people. So, I mean, you could take it all over.
Starting point is 00:03:00 That was a huge deal. It's like, those commercials that were like, you wouldn't steal a car for pirating music. No, you wouldn't steal a family. It wasn't even, you wouldn't download a car. And I was like, yes, I absolutely would download a car. I would download a car. I would down. You wouldn't download a family.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Download a family's a little weird. We have to have some bugs and they do weird shit. Like your son just walks backwards only. Like your son gets an update. He gets a patch and he just like starts no clipping around the house. He's stuck in a T-posed and he can't get through the door. He's T-posing around like, come on, we've got to get to school. He just flies down the stairs.
Starting point is 00:03:36 He has a. He has no walk animation anymore. So he just moves forward. He's got that Assassin's Creed glitch from back in the day where it's only his teeth and eyes. Oh, fuck. Oh, that was. Oh, gosh. Imagine if you woke up next to your girlfriend and she had the Assassin's Creed face.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I would come sleeping forever. And I'd leave. And then I would sleep forever. What if every time you were like orgasming that happened to your face? I would have to, once I heard I did it, I would have to do that in front of a mirror. So I'd have to orgasm and stare in a mirror and see my face disappear for a few months. Is it like a quick PTSD from jerking off in front of a mirror because you saw it. Is it a quick disappearance or is it like a fade?
Starting point is 00:04:17 Is it like a crossfate kind of? I'd say it's like it's like a quick like, you know what's weird? I've always tried to envision what it would be like for something to just disappear from my line of sight. And it's just become such a fantastic idea of like something being there and not being there without me blinking. It's just fucking. I think I've had that happen to me before. When I was a kid, I would like zone out and I would feel like at like 10 seconds, pass in like a second because I would just zone out and somebody would be like across the room
Starting point is 00:04:44 already and I was like what the fuck what is this yeah I used to happen to me a lot when I was a child that's weird it's like you can you know what the motion of people moving is so like you like a person probably went from this point to that point yeah that makes sense but your brain just shuts off so I get super spacey I know what you're talking about it's really weird someone's standing like if you're right in front of me right now and then you're just not here while I'm looking at you that would change my views on stuff I'd be like whoa that would make you Christian that's you Y'all's not what the joke I was going to make. He's got a new religion.
Starting point is 00:05:11 That's my joke. Whenever something's really bad, I'm like, oh, is it going to Christian me? It probably will. Is it going to Christian me? Like a verb. It's an alien thing. Really, almost. Oh, the genderless alien?
Starting point is 00:05:23 Put me back in a band. I almost put me back in that band, man. The genderless alien. Yeah, so there's, I don't know if it's real or not to be honest. It doesn't have like the Kendall, a little nub. I think that's the idea. Like a little bit of a bump. Like, it's not, it's not anything.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Enough to get you excited, but not enough to finish the joke. You speculate there's something going on. Not enough to finish the fight. It's all imagination. Yeah, I don't know. I guess there's this article that I saw. I don't know if it's real or not. So feel free to correct me or whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:51 But there's this article about this dude who like spent $50,000 to become a genderless alien. And it's, you know, it's a choice. Is having a gender really that bad that you want to like get rid of it or spend that much money to get rid of it? I would get rid of it for free. I wouldn't I wouldn't because I'll be like I'm so happy I'm so happy being me right now I don't want to really get rid of it but like
Starting point is 00:06:16 to explore other other shit It's not even that it's like a new character Build and Skyrim I just want to I want I'm not going to play it to the end But I just want to like I just want to see it I'm not going to play a Cajee Yeah I'm not going to do it for the whole campaign but I just want to see
Starting point is 00:06:33 It's like playing D and Dina this time I'm going to play As a fucking rabbit you know just to check it out Did you play you played? You played Skyrim a lot, right? What'd you pick? What's the race you put? I picked the Red Guard because they were like black people. So I was like, they looked like me. That's so weird that you'd do that, that you would pick. Something that looks like me. I don't think that's weird. No, it looks like me. I was kidding. You know how, you know how not black the Skyrim is? It's very enough. It's fucking Scandinavia. Now that I'm thinking about it, it's like you can pick the
Starting point is 00:07:01 Red Guards at the beginning, but I rarely remember encountering other red guards. Because you know why? Because it was too cold for them to deal with being here as I left. I remember seeing the red guards in the man and I didn't, I remember specifically thinking they didn't look like black because you remember if there was a mission as like Frying a red guard woman. I never found her.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I found her dead. I did a lot of dumb shit in the Boaster bathtub situation. Let's say I threw the toaster. Just Brett farved a toaster into a bathtub for 500
Starting point is 00:07:35 yards out. 500. yards out. Holy shit. Pitch that into a fucking to- fucking Uncle Rico level strength. I threw a toaster over the mountains. Right over the mountains.
Starting point is 00:07:49 I just sitting in your bathtub and you look out your window. You see a toaster headed straight for your bathtub. You're like, well. Comes through your window into your bathtub. Well, this bath is way too good for me to get up and leave. I'm not going to get. I also like the idea of like a toaster flying through the window into a bathtub. And even though it's not plugged in, it's still.
Starting point is 00:08:07 She keeps like, you're just chilling in the bathtub And you just hear this It sounds like a freaking airliner It's like a modern warfare to kill streak But it's a toaster that just drops from the sky She's a giant toaster It's such a good idea for a superpower I guess that's like a bullseye kind of superpower
Starting point is 00:08:27 It's bullseye but like he always has an unlimited source of toasters Like he digs into his pocket It's like the cat in the hat kind of It just reaches into the bag And it's like hey, toasters Toasters for days I want to make a game like that
Starting point is 00:08:40 Where one character's ultimate is just Toaster, like an Overwatch character That's a bathtub He pins the whole team down Turns the ground they're standing in it's a bathtub And it throws a toaster The ground isn't just water It's a bathtub that everyone's standing
Starting point is 00:08:56 What's happening? The game industry needs more Parodies I think We need more parody games They need more toaster bathtub Yeah I think so too There's a severe lack That's the next video essay there's a severe lack of toaster bath toast for me I want a character to like has leprosy and like
Starting point is 00:09:12 the match starts the match starts his ultimate is like he just coughs in someone's mouth and then they have like maybe three seconds before they die like they have a little bit of that doesn't kill you that no I was gonna say I thought you meant that like three matches later they just randomly die they're actually dead like permanently like their character screen is dark because you get not in there I don't think that would work at all. You just think your game crashed. But the guy got to start the game over. The leopard coughed in my fucking mouth.
Starting point is 00:09:43 God damn it. You have to like unplug it before it saves the data. It's like Dark Souls where it just says you died, but instead it's just leprosy. Leprosy, your skin's falling off. Is that what leprosy is? That's what leprosy is actually. I don't know. It is.
Starting point is 00:09:58 It is kind of, I think like you have like, you have corrosive enzyme so he start eating you too. That's, man, that's horrifying. That's hot. Is that a thing that happens? Oh, that's hot. Oh, that's hot. They got a cure for that, don't they? I feel like it kind of...
Starting point is 00:10:12 There's no way there's not a cure for that. I feel like they all died before they got to other people. I feel like they all died off before they got to people, so no one got anymore as all the deppers. A leper? The other lepers fell asleep on themselves. What if it was a leopard that was a leper? It would be a leper.
Starting point is 00:10:28 It's just sad and ironic. That's scary. That's unfortunate. That's like a Resident Evil, like, enemy running around. That's such an unfortunate rhyme. somewhere. It's like, God damn.
Starting point is 00:10:39 This is the leper of jungle. Oh, damn it's the leper leopard. Don't look at them. What the fuck? Just do it. It just hobbles over to you. Please shoot me. Please.
Starting point is 00:10:48 It hurts. What the fuck is this conversation? I don't know. This has been 10 minutes of nonsense. I don't know what the purpose of this podcast really is, ultimately at the end of the day. It's why we do it so infrequently because we don't know what the fuck it is. I think that's good, though, because most podcasts seem to devolve into just whatever. so like not even pretending like there's
Starting point is 00:11:08 Yeah there's no point This is just like bullshit Like we're just going to do bullshit And talk about bullshit That was a succincted description Slap him some skin right there It's a handshake Slap my skin
Starting point is 00:11:18 Four skin You do a four finger high five That's four skin We're 12 Were we recording when you were talking about Ray J? No we weren't No we weren't Unfortunately
Starting point is 00:11:30 It's a damn shame I've never heard that song It's super good I don't know any of Ray J songs. I don't like Ray J much because like, why I would I listen to bad music, I listen to the good music. But like,
Starting point is 00:11:40 those are fighting words. Hot takes. I didn't, I didn't know that feelings getting hurt was on the table, but now that I know that, okay. Good to know.
Starting point is 00:11:51 It's messed up, dude. Can't have feelings? Good to know they're there. Okay, cool. He lost all, he lost everything immediately for no good reason. He touched a Kardashian. You can't touch them.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Oh, he didn't just touch. He can't be a black person. We've all seen. the video. He aggressively touched. He was a pretty fucking intricate touch.
Starting point is 00:12:08 He was, he was internally touching her. And he lost everything. And then she became like the richest fucking woman in the world, I think probably. I don't think so. Who's the richest woman in the world?
Starting point is 00:12:19 Let me look at the stuff. I'm like Oprah Winfrey? That's a good point. That's a good point. Maybe, though. Maybe it's my mom. Richest woman in the world. If I have
Starting point is 00:12:29 born. I think, I think he could have been something special. because I like your sister brandy. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay. When I was living in Chicago, I took part in my first ever giant charity sale,
Starting point is 00:12:52 and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. They were items that marked huge moments in my life and in my career. And though I was ready to pass them along, I also wanted to make sure they were going to someone who would love them. One of the things I loved the most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. It wound up being so much fun to see where each and every item was going, where it was going to be loved. And in passing items along like that, authenticity really matters to the person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee.
Starting point is 00:13:30 They weren't just listing my items. They were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely, from where it claimed to be, in this case, my closet.

Yeah, self-made because she really had to hustle and grind as a kid. She was born with the last name, Jenner. You know, one of the people that, I think the guy did the first four-minute mile,
Starting point is 00:15:14 it's not like she was born as an Olympian child. I don't think she had any help at all, honestly. I think she had, like, a humble beginning. I think she grew up in a very, very simple house with four stories. I think they used paper plates and, like, definitely, you know, struggled. Absolutely. Yeah. Probably had to go to the grocery store, buy them, like, in person.
Starting point is 00:15:33 She just ate beans all the time. was all she could afford. Just beans. Pinto beans, kidney beans. That's it. Carrot beans. Cater beans. Toster beans.

Starting point is 00:15:55 I was like, Zalin's friggin' outlet exploded yesterday. It hurts every day. Every day, every day, I wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning. You know what I do? You know what I did? I look at a night. I actually would toast. your bathtub if I had to get up that early.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I stare at a knife. I stare at it for so long. Is it like a CSGO knife? Do you like do this in front of the mirror? I do that. I do that and I get, and I keep, I toilet the knife from the mirror and then I put it near my face and I told me on one day
Starting point is 00:16:18 I'm gonna fucking fuck up. I'm gonna fuck up and I'm gonna be out of it. I'm gonna fucking. You mime the actions of killing yourself until you accidentally actually actually do it. You're like, I know I'm clutsy one of these days. They're just so suicidal but still so very non-committal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Like is it so afraid? I'm afraid. I'm not. ready to do it, but I want to sometimes, you know? You have lazy suicidal tennis. Non-committal suit. Like, I'm just going to wait in a middle of the street and wait if someone hits me. It's like, that's not, you know, you're not, you're not, you know, you're not in
Starting point is 00:16:48 case. But you are, you are in school? Yeah, I'm a student. What are you doing? I am attempting to get into nursing school right now. So that's awesome, you know. I can't imagine you making anybody on their deathbed feel better. I mean, I'm not really there.
Starting point is 00:17:02 I'm better, like, hey, I'll clean up your shit and stuff, but you're going to die, but sorry. Is that how you're going to approach it? I mean, you're looking pretty bad. Every patient, you're just looking at me. I'm like, you're going to die. And like, I'm sorry about that. But it's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:17:14 There's just some little. They're like, I'm fine. Are you sure? Are you sure? No, there's some. There's like, uh, what's it called when you're, when you're like, uh, when you think you have everything? There's like a word for that.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Oh, uh, hypochondriac. Hypochondriac. Hypoch. You go up to some little hypochondriacs. It's like a little girl who's just in there for the flu and you walk in. It's like, you're going to die, bud. You walk out and she believes it. You're like, dang.
Starting point is 00:17:36 It's a shame you're probably going to die. The shame you're not going to be 22 ever, because you're going to die before that. My bad kid. I like 22 specifically. That that kid's one dream was to be 22. And you're just like, I can't wait to be 22. Eh, you're not going to make it. I guess that is the Taylor Swift song.
Starting point is 00:17:53 That's why I thought about it. Yeah. Yeah. It's not like that age is just going to randomly pop in your head. I don't, I don't. Okay, can I be real with everybody? I don't really hate Taylor Swift. I don't either.
Starting point is 00:18:04 I don't think there's a reason. 1989 had some bangers on it. Honestly, Red had some bangers too. I don't think I ever really listened to her, but I didn't actively hate her. I can't imagine even wasting the time. Yeah. I don't think I actively hate, like hate hate anyone. Even like the Pauls or something, it's like, I think they're really dumb, but it's not
Starting point is 00:18:22 every waking minute. I'm like, I want to toasters. Yeah, I can't think of anybody that I spend every waking minute and hating go in fairness. I really, really genuinely, genuinely hate the Kardashians. Really? But why, though? Because they're like, they're like so popular
Starting point is 00:18:36 and I just have no clue why. I have no clue what is there a lord of them. They're just related to people who are also famous. And it's their reality show and like their... But it's like that I've watched more interesting like fucking iguana deaths than their show. Well, yeah. It's just so...
Starting point is 00:18:54 Wait, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. That needs to be unpacked. What are you looking up? Like, you go down the YouTube rabbit hole. I'm watching like, late night clips or something you're watching
Starting point is 00:19:03 in Guana deaths that's where you end up If people are watching like Let's plays or like Norm MacDonald on Conan And then you're on the other side Watching iguana is getting smashed to death With like rocks and Coke cans It's not even
Starting point is 00:19:16 Whoa Just like guana's diving into bathtub The Toasters out The iguana throws the Toaster in itself It's like a bear hugging it And it just swan dives into a bathtub It goes on like a fucking diving board

Starting point is 00:19:45 Which is just a funny statement I've never watched The other night I did end up On a YouTube rabbit hole That ended with me watching Like motocross deaths Like dudes in X games
Starting point is 00:19:56 Doing backflips on motorcycles Like dirt bikes And them not ending well And then there was one with a snowmobile where the guy, like, was doing a backflip on a snowmobile. The front of it, like, clipped the ramp. So he flew off and the snowmobile flipped and landed on his neck. And he died instantly. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah. I get squeamish when I think about it. No, it was, I saw that. And before I was going to go to bed and I was like, that instantly brought me out of, like, what the fuck have I been watching? I need to watch more iguana shit. I need to rotate back. Yeah, that's significantly worse than iguanas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Because like, a lizard is like, whatever. Like I've seen birds fly into buildings before It's like whatever That shit brings me to tears Man, I'm about to cry now As soon as you said that tears Get into my eyes How fucking funny it is

Starting point is 00:21:05 Like, that honestly, if I'm, if I'm being real, the two places I'm most torn thinking about moving is like out here or New York. Out here makes the most sense because all my friends and shit, but I just fucking love the city. L.A. L.A. is cool. New York, I have a very mixed bag of feelings because, like, I... Did you grow up there?

Starting point is 00:23:32 Because what part of the city did you grow up in? We grew up in, um, yonkers in the Bronx, and then I would spend a lot of time around like Columbus. And where, where did you grow up in the Bronx on the Grand Conquers? But I, and then, yeah, that was mostly the Grand Congress where I was like very heavily stationed, which is like the better part of the Bronx. Heavily stationed like you're a troop. Yeah, I was stationed.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Yeah, you're phrasing. I enjoyed that. I was a fucking sentinel. A served. A served. the bro. I served in the bro. I was in New York for 16 years. Yeah, but my feelings about New York are very just, I like it, but I also know what it, like I, I've seen what, it's fucking crazy, man. New York is wild. It's, it's, it's, I love it because it's just, it's so incredibly unpredictable.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Yeah, anything happened there. You could people watch that, you could honestly people watching there is like better than a lot of TV. It's like the crazy shit. I remember once when I was, I was waiting, I was killing time before I had a flight back here and I was hanging out in Union Square at like 9 p.m. or like 10 p.m. or something like that. There's a lot of people there still. It's not like I'm isolated in a park but I was sitting there on my phone and some
Starting point is 00:24:38 lady who I couldn't determine whether or not like I wasn't sure if she was a lady or not but she came with a shopping cart full of gatorade and like tissue boxes and she wheeled up to me and she asked me do you think I'm pretty? I was like I can't look at this I can't look I can't. I just kept looking at my phone. I was like, excuse me, and I looked up,
Starting point is 00:24:57 and I was like, oh shit, I shouldn't have done that. And she engaged with me in conversation for like a full minute. And then she dove into my crotch. And I kicked her off and walked away. And then she just like went to assault somebody else. It was like the fucking wildest, all of that I thought I was going to be like, do you want to buy a Gatorade? No.
Starting point is 00:25:14 No, I don't know what the purpose is. That has nothing to do with her motive. No, that was just her character description. That was her build. That was her built. Roll a D20 to see you. dive into Chris's crotch successfully. That's our acrobatics check.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Acrobatics check to see if you'll land on his crotch or the floor. That's why you kicked her off. She didn't get a good role. No, she didn't get a good role. That was wild though. Like, I remember being like, but I wasn't afraid at any point. Like crazy shit like that will happen in New York, but you're never like a free. You're just like, what is, like, what is happening?
Starting point is 00:25:46 Yeah, it's just confusion. But it's so fun immediately after it happens. You're like, that's a story. It's normal enough that it, yeah, it's not like a fear. It's just like another. Yeah, it's another one of these. Yeah, it was, it was, ah, man. So a man on stilts dressed as a waffle fighting, uh, fighting a drunk man outside of a bodega at 3 a.m.
Starting point is 00:26:04 That was the thing I actually did for real sake. Oh my God. It's wild. Performance art. And the thing about New York is like, everything's really condensed. So everything's walking distance. So everybody's just walking on the street. It's not like out here where like the sidewalks are kind of barren, kind of.
Starting point is 00:26:18 It's mostly people driving because everything's so friggin spread apart for some reason. See, and that's what I don't like it about here. Yeah. I like it. I like it because it's just more space. You know, like, because New York... But it's more space with nothing in it. That's true.
Starting point is 00:26:30 That's very true. But also it's because of the fact that we can't have buildings out here. The ground gets upset sometimes and runs and runs about. Yeah, the ground does shake buildings away. The ground's like, I'm nervous. I don't want to be here. Oh, my God. I'm going to come.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Oh. What triggered this? All the companies drilling for oil on the other side of the earth. Over here, it's just like shaking. Quaking it's You're amazing You're amazing But yeah the buildings
Starting point is 00:27:01 They get upset They get hot and bothered sometimes The ground gets hot and bothered and it fucking falls in on itself Has it raining upwards Any earthquakes? I experienced an earthquake in New York And I've ever experienced a California one I've never experienced any earthquake
Starting point is 00:27:14 I didn't know that New York Like East Coast got I mean I mean I mean It wasn't like It wasn't like that It wasn't a meme back in the day
Starting point is 00:27:19 When it happened I remember people were sharing pictures Of like a lawn set up Like lawn chairs and like a table and then it was just like a cup tilted over on its side and it was like oh what a massive earthquake because nobody felt it it was like a big joke i felt it and i got so excited because i was like what's about to happen next it was like what does it feel like it just i've never experienced it earthquake it feels like the grounds just shaking wow good
Starting point is 00:27:42 that's like that's the best way to describe it like imagine it's like being on a truck but like the floor is the truck like that it's like vibrating yeah like that's all it is like you're on a skateboard and you're getting like speed wobble. It's nothing like you don't feel like the earth does a kickflip. You don't feel like the world revolving. It's like, I saw the ground shaking a little bit. I felt it and I was like, this is the cool, some cool shit. What's going to happen next?
Starting point is 00:28:06 I don't know, I've open the world blow up. Some shit like that. I've never, I've never experienced it. I've been told that I've experienced them. I've had people say, you didn't feel that earthquake. Like, maybe I'm just not sensitive to it or something. Maybe you have to have like a certain sensitivity to it. I don't feel them.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I'm serious. Like, I've been through apparently several. But I just don't feel. When living out here. Yeah. You go to like Mori Polovich. I can feel earthquakes. It's just like a special thing.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Yeah, that's your special. It's like, cool. When did you know you had this power? When I was six in the ground moved once? Why is he so subdued? Why is he so like, I was going to see what he thinks he's cool. He's like, oh, I'm fucking, I've ascended. Does he have like hair going over like one eye?
Starting point is 00:28:50 One eye with a silver. It's an anime. It's an anime. villain that feels like he's the only one that can sense earthquakes. So you're touring, so you're moving soon and you're thinking about. Yeah, man, there's how, I just like, I got, I got to make some decisions. There's a lot of things to take into account. I personally, honestly, I would have always, I love New York and I would have chosen to stay there if I could.
Starting point is 00:29:13 But it just, honestly, for me, it just makes so much more sense to be out here. Yeah. Just because the people and, like, you know, everybody kind of understands this kind of field No, exactly. You meet, like, you just meet people all the time that are like, like, like, like, like, like, like, do what you do. And I'm very much not used to that of just talking to someone and them knowing, like, exactly what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Because, like, I could talk about YouTube shit with my friends back home. Yeah. And, like, they'll get it. They'll be understanding, but it's not, it's not the same. Yeah, there's like a different level of understanding there. Like, I haven't had that, like, going to VidCon, hanging out with Gus and Eddie, meeting you, meeting Chris, meeting whoever. It's like, oh, yeah, no, those are like my people sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:29:53 but yeah it's definitely bad like I don't know I I'm always biased to New York just because I miss it somewhere I miss the convenience and I miss just like everything being open till 4 a.m. It was great. Yeah I miss I miss New York a lot sometimes too. I miss some I don't miss the weather because I don't like how New York has actual the weather spectrum that shit makes me sick more like the whole the full seasons yeah no that's like South Dakota it's like a hundred plus degrees in the summer yeah and literally like the days I was moving it was like negative five New York is kind of the same actually It's the biggest amount. Like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Fuck. I kind of like the snow, though. Like, I would miss it. I hate snow. I like, we built a little skate park in my backyard and, like, did jumps off it. I loved the snow a lot when I was living in the city or when I was living in like a city area because they, the city had to deal with all the, like, you're not driving or anything. And I wasn't driving.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I was a kid. Yeah. But, like, the fact that they were the people who were like, okay, we got to plow the roads now. But like when we moved upstate, I moved up state when I was, I think like 12 years old or whatever. And we moved up state and we had to do that. had to shovel the snow and it was the fucking worst I hate it I was like I don't want this ever again I hate snow so much worse
Starting point is 00:30:58 that's winter as a kid versus adult as a kid it's like easily my favorite like you don't have to go to school you get Christmas presents you get to go sledding as an adult it's like I had to shovel the walk and the driveway I have to shovel to walk I have to drive I have to shovel so that I can walk yeah it's fucked I remember one time I was like I was like maybe like 16
Starting point is 00:31:17 and I experienced black ice hood the first time and I looked down like I was like watch off black ice and I was like the fuck is black ice I'm gonna see it's ice that's black like what kind of shit is clear I'm gonna see that a mile away like what type of dumb shit I was like grandma you're insane and then I was walking
Starting point is 00:31:34 and then all of a sudden I was like I'm not walking anymore but I'm still going forward because I was slipping I was slipping for a long time on black ice and then I fell down I like imagining you just still in like a walking animation but it's on ice and you're just like moonwalking he's like slightly rotating look at me I'm going
Starting point is 00:31:51 pretty quick. I slipped on my face. I slipped on Black Eyes once and it was the most terrifying thing because I slipped into like a different county, I swear again. Like it was the longest time travel. You fall for so long, bro. It's insane. And you can't stop.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Like even once you fall, you continue to move. Even if there's no like slope like adding gravity to your momentum, it's just like you just keep going. It's like a fucking turbopad and like a cart racing game. No, that's what I thought is too. There's some green arrows on the ground. It's like, watch off for that green eyes.
Starting point is 00:32:23 It's like you fucking stepped on the fucking mushroom. Watch over the green ice with black arrows on him. It's like, what the fuck is that? And then you're gone. You're on a fucking adventure. Yeah, driving is like, I actually have never experienced it walking, but I've like been driving back when I had my Honda Civic
Starting point is 00:32:37 that the tires were just bald as shit. So it's like, even if it's a little snowy, you're going to slide. Yeah. You're just driving. I was going straight. I wasn't even turning the wheel.
Starting point is 00:32:44 And my car just started doing a 360. And luckily there's no other cars in the road, but it's just like, okay, this is happening. Like, no brakes, no gas, anything. It's just like, okay. Like Tokyo Drip songs starts playing the two. My corolla did a similar thing. I remember specifically once, it was like recently when I was back for Christmas.
Starting point is 00:33:01 A bunch of my old high school friends were like, hey, let's go get some sushi. I was like, hell yeah, dude, I haven't seen you in a long time. And I went out to drive and it was like snowy. I was like, oh, shit. And I went to stop at the stop sign and I kept going. And I was like, I don't really want sushi anymore, really. That's okay. I'll stay home.
Starting point is 00:33:18 I'm going to not go ahead and do this. It's going to be a no for me, dog. Yeah, it's a yikes. It's looking like a nova movie here, man. That's a yikers island. You're going shipped off the yikers island. Yikes. Yikes Stadium.
Starting point is 00:33:33 That's a good one, too. Oh, man. Yeah, I don't miss the snow. I don't miss the snow. I definitely prefer the weather out here. Just for the sheer, just because the weather doesn't bring about this sense of like, oh, man, you'll labor. You know? It's freeing.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I don't like it, because it gets so cold. It gets so cold that, like, you go home and you like you got to do the internal shiver where you got to let all the coat out of the inner of your body and then you get sweaty if you still have the coats and shit on yeah exactly so it's like you got ice like crystallizing under your armpits like let's either make it hot everywhere or cold everywhere so it's fucked up to keep changing it's fucking it's not a good experience i like the visual aesthetic of snow oh 100% i like snow at nighttime when it's still bright out it's like oh my god all the light like the sky's like purple and shit like oh this is cool yeah fresh snow looks amazing it's beautiful but in in a city It doesn't stay fresh for a long time. It starts to look, you do. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay.
Starting point is 00:34:35 When I was living in Chicago, I took part in my first ever giant charity sale, and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. They were items that marked huge moments in my life and in my career. And though I was ready to pass them along, I also wanted to make sure they were going to someone who would love them. One of the things I loved them most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. It wound up being so much fun to see where each and every item was going where it was going to be loved.
Starting point is 00:35:10 And in passing items along like that, authenticity really matters to the person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee. They weren't just listing my items. they were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely from where it claimed to be, in this case, my closet.

But the second they start plowing and the snow just accumulates this like black. It's gray and like got peed on. It looks like fucking ET. Like by the time, by the time like it's like a light, bro. It's a really gross.
Starting point is 00:36:22 It looks like licorish-flavored jello. That sounds horrifying. That's it. That's, yeah, that's a gross image. Is that a real thing, though? I'm sure it is. There's an everything flavor for everything. That's true.
Starting point is 00:36:34 I feel like, you remember those birdie bots every flavor beans? That shit was so fucking insidious. It was like theater kids would eat them. I'm trying to see the full spectrum of taste. I remember. And you're ignorant if you don't want to eat this with me. It's like, well, fucking go, go drink fucking cat piss then. Fuck, you'm not doing it with you.
Starting point is 00:36:52 There's a cat piss flavor in Chelsea. There probably is, honestly. I don't remember. I remember there was, like, grass and, like, toilet. And I was like, I don't know how you got that one. There was one that was called, what you call a dog bar? Like, that just crass. There was.
Starting point is 00:37:04 I remember. I don't know why that one so funny. That was the one that I had that I was like, oh. Why was you? They, they, what a genius idea, by the way, to make a confection, a concoction that tastes bad on purpose. Like, you don't even have to try at all. That's an idea so dumb that it's genius.
Starting point is 00:37:20 That, of course, people are going to buy. so ridiculous that grass tastes bad on purpose. Why would you make something that taste bad? That was what the bird is that. I don't understand. It's like, grass. Harry Potter merchandising got way ridiculous in like the early 2000.
Starting point is 00:37:33 There was like some. Do you remember the, the broom that vibrated? Do you remember that? That was really? There's like a little switch on it. It seriously was like straight up. I'm not,
Starting point is 00:37:42 I kid you not. Lots of people discovered their bodies with that vibrating broom. A hundred percent. When I brew mentored most anus, it was like, oh, I know, I know a lot more about myself now. It straight up was just a broomstick that vibrated intensely for kids.
Starting point is 00:37:55 And it was like, looking back on it, like, I didn't think anything of it back thing. It was just like, what is this stupid shit? You know? But like, as a result, you think, like, who the fuck thought of that? And, like, pitched it? Someone that had a broom that, like, fucking they fell or something like that. And that broom moved a little bit too much. And they were like, well.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Let me pitch this to kids. Let me pitch this in kids. This is probably what Harry Potter feels like. Get that quid, quid dick. That quid. There's something there. The quidic, quidic. Quid cock.
Starting point is 00:38:23 He caught the golden snatch. Snarf. Harry Potter was fucking ridiculous. Harry Potter was so sick. Were you a Harry Potter person? I never read the, I read like half of the first book, and then the movies started coming out, and I was like, I'll just watch the movies. That's kind of what I did. But all my siblings read the fuck out of the list.
Starting point is 00:38:43 I read, I read the books, and I wasn't really happy because I read them, and I was like, oh, these are just points in school. I could just read these stupid-ass fucking books. about this dumbass British wizard and I don't have to read it. Wait, you read the book? I love this is a British. He's a dumbass British wizard. That, like, you just fucking, that especially made him dumb. This stupid little Brit wizard, I fucking ate you.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Fucking Brit whiz. Fucking vacant tea and scrumpets over the wand, British-ass wizard. So I read him because I was like, if I read these, I have to read during the summer. So I'm going to read these. Were you a movie? Did you like the movies at all? I didn't care enough to watch the movies You never watched that
Starting point is 00:39:23 Hermione was hot though Never I had a crush on her when I was a kid I never really thought I'm a watch someone was that attractive Ever in my life Ever? Never, dude
Starting point is 00:39:31 What about you? Even as like a kid? Not even I thought she was pretty as a kid It didn't even I had it I definitely had a crush on her when I was a kid But I had a crush on like a crush on
Starting point is 00:39:39 Like Avril Levine and like people like that I don't know who Even I had a crush on Levine I didn't really know what she was But every time I'm like I sign about you Makes me want to stand around you I don't want to like do anything with you
Starting point is 00:39:50 I just want to be in your presence often. Yeah. That means anything. She was cool, man. If your schedule is free, I just want to stand around you if I can't. You don't even have to really talk to me. I much you talk to me every now and in, but it's like, acknowledge me, you know? So like, do you think, get your groceries, whatever, just like, let me kind of.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Shred your guitar in the mall. Let me just kind of. You're just standing there. Just like, yeah, you rock. I can imagine you. I can imagine you. I can so vividly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:16 I can so vividly imagine you in the background of Skater Boy. Do your eyeliner. Fuck yeah. You rock. Just me and skater boy like, give it a... Yeah, awesome, Arrow. He, man. You're sick.
Starting point is 00:40:29 You're sick. I don't know, man. Harry Potter was like a fucking big thing back in the day. I remember, like, I watched the first three movies and then I stopped. I don't know what happened. I like, I fell off him. And then I watched the last part of the last one. That was my experience of Harry Potter.
Starting point is 00:40:41 It was so skewed because of... People I like kept dying in that series. They made me so angry. Does Neville die? I don't think... I don't know. No, Neville doesn't die because he's like a badass in the end. Isn't he the one that finally kills Baltimore, if I'm not mistaken?
Starting point is 00:40:54 I think so? Doesn't he get like the finishing blow or some shit? The finishing blow is never, I'm pretty sure. Is it really? No. Neville kills someone. He does something bad ass. Neville's a lame ass for a long time.
Starting point is 00:41:05 He glows up in the movies, though. I remember girls being like, Neville's hot now. And I was like, it was like the Josh and Drake and Josh situation. Yeah. Josh Peck. Yeah, he got like, he was like fat and then he got really like normal. He got skinny and then made the ball. bunch of really awful vines
Starting point is 00:41:22 I mean in fairness that's what vine was yeah he was like terrible he wasn't alone I think he's a nice dude mine was like vine was like it was a fucking gateway to me like it was like oh shit I can watch funny quick shit all the time
Starting point is 00:41:36 and then I got an actual addiction to it and I was like all right I'm gonna stop it's hilarious to me that that platform even blew up like it did because it's so hilariously unmonetizable like it was so obviously like not gonna last long it's like how you're
Starting point is 00:41:50 monetize six second clips. No one's going to watch an ad for like Cialis or like Viagro or whatever the fuck you're going to like, you know. The audience was definitely, that's why everyone was so shocked when it died. That's why there's all the fucking Vine compilations on YouTube because like people still want it. Yeah. But they couldn't make money. And then TikTok is here now and it's like, how do people make money on TikTok? I think it's just a Vine situation.
Starting point is 00:42:10 I think they're just going to go away and like a year. Because I hate TikTok must have hell of money or something because I see TikTok ads all the time. What is TikTok though? Like is it just musically, I think. It's music. And now it's like Vine too because it was like lip syncing. And now you can you can have like short original content too. So it's like this crazy combination where you'll have like someone lip syncing and then you can do the duets where you take their video and you do something next to it.
Starting point is 00:42:34 And then with all the different combinations of what you can do like there's some pretty fucking amazing shit on TikTok. I've seen some clever things. So much more garbage. But the stuff that's funny is like actually like it gives me Vine vibes. Like it's super funny. I haven't really fucked around with it too much. I'm on Instagram for the most part of what I want to watch. But you watch horrible thunk.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Like, I don't even know how you find this stuff that you find on Instagram. It's got, honestly, like, sometimes. He finds like, like, just, what was the last thing you showed me that, like, some lady careening into a tree? So. It's like lively. Like, I don't even understand how you're finding half this shit. You're finding these accounts. You're finding these iguana death accounts. Yeah. So what happens was. Ex iguana death 420. Yeah, iguanas on dirt bikes flipping into toasters.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Okay. So can I explain my, my sense of humor? Please, for everybody. Explain it? Yeah, please. Let me just get a quick. Try. I think we get it. Let's give it a whirl.
Starting point is 00:43:24 So what happened was. Give it. To me, the funniest thing always has been people hurting themselves. Since I was a child. Since the dawn. I would watch America's funniest home videos and I would just laugh. Because it'd be Tom Verdron. Like, now let's watch this kid run into a bus.
Starting point is 00:43:41 And I'd be like, this is going to be great. I watched it with, it was way better with Tom. Yeah. So it was better with, without Bob Saggett, I thought. Bob Saggett. I thought. He was the one who did the voices, right? He would like superimposed voices on the clips.
Starting point is 00:43:54 It was like the worst shit. Tom Bergeron, it was like, I remember on a, I must, I think it was Nick, Nick at night, that they would do the reruns of AFV. And then Fresh Prince would come on right after that. When I was in like sixth grade, it was like from like nine to ten, that was the lineup. And it was, it was a banger. Those two. But like that was me. So like, as I've gotten older, I would like watch stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:44:15 And then every time someone got hurt bad worse, I was like, oh, why is this even funnier? Then I would go from that point on. Oh, so you get to the extreme. And then it got to the point where it got like to like Ebon's world and like lively. No. And I was just like I was maybe like, this is sad. I was like 14. Like, and I was just like what's the wrong with me?
Starting point is 00:44:36 So I took a step back. I took like a big step back and I was like I'm just not going to watch it like this. I feel like I kind of had the opposite thing where like I always saw people hurting themselves was hilarious. But then like I went from just like, oh, ha ha, he fell to like immediate lively. and I was like, no, no, that's way too big. That's way too huge job. I had the progression of like animals getting hit by vehicles, like fucking explosive mistakes,
Starting point is 00:44:57 firework mistakes, like dogs. Well, we're, well, dogs are attacking each other. Actually, I'm super curious about this. Because like, where, where we're from, deer are fucking pests. And, like, people hate them. I don't like them. Oh, it's the same thing over there. People here like them.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Because they don't have to experience. In South Dakota, there's people, because, like, everyone out in the country because of a small town, like, everyone fucking hunts. So when there'd be deer in the town, everyone that you'd be like They'd be like man We gotta get this deer population down
Starting point is 00:45:24 Like you gotta do something about this Fucking deer People are like water boasting Tears and shit You see a guy just like kidnapping deer Inouc No some guy goes
Starting point is 00:45:36 Put a bag over a deer's head That's what I was thinking He puts it in a van And he had like You could have just done that without the bag He didn't want to see it He wanted to do it But he wanted to be detachment
Starting point is 00:45:47 That's your thought is You don't even need the bag. Take the bag and step out. Just beat him to death without the bag, idiot. This isn't bad use of resources. You don't need the bag. Now that bag is dirty, man. You see, he could just killed him a doubty.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Oh, my God. Something about someone thinking enough. They're like, I don't want to see the deer's face after I kill it. That's his fucking inhuman. A hunter that, like, has to bag the deer set before he shoots the deer. don't look at me like the whole it's like so fast

Starting point is 00:46:58 Hey, it's Jay Shetty from On Purpose. Check out the best of a moment we did presented by eBay. I'd never owned a vintage camera before. There was something about it that felt almost unnecessary in a world where everything lives on our phones. But I wanted to change that. So I started the hunt for a point-and-shoot camera. When I finally found the perfect one on eBay,
Starting point is 00:47:19 I didn't keep it to myself. I left it out on a table. Always within reach, people started picking it up without asking, family, friends, everyone to take a photo of whatever felt important to them in that moment. There was no editing, no retakes, you took the photo and that was it. The moment became real right away. It was about choosing something. Deciding this matters, even if it came out blurry, the vintage camera belonged to the room,
Starting point is 00:47:42 to the moment, to the people in it. Over time, the photos started to pile up on the fridge, on shelves tucked into books. each one a reminder that meaning isn't always planned. That's what I appreciate about eBay. It's a place where you can find things that bring people together and pass along things you no longer need so they can become part of someone else's memories.

Starting point is 00:48:54 Don't that brings me back man The early days of Xbox Live It was just like wild Dude it was the wild west in that bitch man It was unruly I really miss the days before party chat Honestly like when people would have Like actually put on their headsets

Some kid from fucking, like, I think Syria called me the most, so. I mean, don't say it because I don't want to edit this too much.
Starting point is 00:49:30 I'm not going to say, I'm not going to say this, but like, let's just say, maybe like two months ago, I was playing, um, so children are fuck. That's just how it is. They're just, they're just, they're just, they're so cold. The new ones. The new Xbox 1X kids. There's something about them that's so. cold internally, like a void of some sort. But like, some kid found out I was black somehow on like Roblox.
Starting point is 00:49:55 When you were playing Roblox? I was playing Roblox? Come on. No, hold on. It's not fun. You don't ironically download, install, and launch Roblox. My girlfriend's brother has it for the same reason why I don't like it. But like, he was just like, yeah, play Roblox is fucking hilarious.
Starting point is 00:50:13 So your girlfriend's little brother was asking you to play with it? Yeah. Okay, so that makes more sense. Honestly, even if you were just straight up playing it. I don't like it enough. It looks cool. I'd rather, I'd rather Minecraft. I'd rather Minecraft is anything like that.
Starting point is 00:50:23 But what happened? What did he? So some kid was like, fine, I was black and he kept making monkey sounds every time I spoke. Oh my God. For the rest of the time I played. How young was he? He was like, his voice was squeaky. He'd like, oh, oh, ah, ah.
Starting point is 00:50:36 He sounded like a really form. He sounded like a real monkey. He sounded like a little kid. It's like a fucking mouse. What if it was a monkey? The most racist monkey The most racist but Simultaneously
Starting point is 00:50:49 Like most intelligent primate That's ever existed He was in a lab somewhere They were testing him out On like XXX live Genetically engineered to be the most racist piece of shit monkey Well it's like that
Starting point is 00:51:00 It's like that It's like that Microsoft AI That they put out Remember that? Is it racist? It was like Thai Tay or something It was like a Microsoft
Starting point is 00:51:10 Taze on day It was like a No He was walking around here The other day by the way It was weird He was here, like in his building? No, no.
Starting point is 00:51:16 He just walks into your apartment, like, whoops, how did I get here? No, I just feel like in the area. There's a lot of chocolate rain in here. But there was like an AI that they, like, it was like supposed to be this. It was a Twitter account that was supposed to learn from the internet and like become its own thing. And it was supposed to like tweet independently. And it just became like incredibly racist. Just from what other people were doing.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Yeah, just from what other people were talking to it. It was just like a mirror bouncing shit back. Oh, that sounds fantastic. It was a mirror held up to society. It's like those. It's like self-learning things that you can give something a bunch of like porn scripts and then it'll try to write its own. Yeah. Yeah. That stuff's always hilarious.
Starting point is 00:51:54 That shit is what the fuck. They pulled the plug on it really, really quick. Oh man, I would love, I would love a racist computer. Would you want it? I wouldn't want it because I'd be too much. You'd be typing your essay and then it would delete it because it doesn't want you to pass. No, or like what I'd be typing and it would just like make it something extraordinarily bigoted. Like so big a-in-a-old.
Starting point is 00:52:13 look away for a second, you look back in the text. Oh, wow, I did a lot of writing today. It's all just garbage. No, it's just like, it's describing why the N-word is a valid form of this. Like, really in-depth. It's like a very valid description where people are black-skinned, like, it somehow writes a paper about that. And you're like, I'm sorry, computes. We can't do this, though.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Computes. Computes. You're still lovingly calling it pet-made. I'm sorry, bud, but you're a... Sorry, honey bunches. It's a fucking disaster. But that's what, like... That's really what, like, the early days of, like...
Starting point is 00:52:52 It's disgusting. It's disgusting. I've been called the N-Words so many times, bro. It's crazy. It's weird. Like, I remember... I've been called the N-word. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:52:59 And I'm obviously super fucking white, but when you're on Xbox Live, it doesn't matter. You don't care. You're a vessel for my insults. That's all you are. You're whatever I want you to be right now, because I'm mad.
Starting point is 00:53:12 I can't see you. So guess what? You're looking pretty dark to me. It's really bad. I was the little kid said that. The same energy you just said that I'd be like genuinely like scared. Damn, this kid is not. This kid fucks.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Yeah, conversation really veered, really deared. Really deared off into a different direction. Deered off the deep end into a baths. I was trying to. I was trying to segue into like a discussion about Xbox Live, but that didn't work. Angry. It didn't work at all.
Starting point is 00:53:42 We very. Quickly just like it failed so fucking drastically on one moment so contrary I saw Kate being talked to about something that was fairly like you know like a serious conversation and he started flossing and I was like I thought you were gonna say like yeah man poverty is like it's crazy like and you know all this and he's just like um and I'm like what is up with that reminds he still listening was he like I don't know keeping eye contact but his body just started. They're going to be the things we give this planet to, and that makes me sick.
Starting point is 00:54:16 What, the flossers? No, those fucking rat roaches that are humans now. That is freaking... What, the Fortnite kids? Children. Children in general. I don't know what you're talking about. Children in general.
Starting point is 00:54:26 They make me so angry. Why? What's your problem with children? Because they're stupid. They're so bafflingly stupid. Of course they are. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show, presented by eBay.
Starting point is 00:54:42 There's a different kind of care. comes with letting something meaningful go, especially when it has a story attached to it. When you pass something on, you want to know it's being handled with respect. I took part in my first ever giant charity sale, and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. Some of them were truly one-of-a-kind pieces connected to specific moments, TV sets, or from personal collections. One of the things I loved the most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. Sure, people who wanted a pair of my jeans could get them, but people who might be a different size than me could buy accessories. If you're a size
Starting point is 00:55:22 eight, you're lucky, because that's my shoe size. They could do purses, jewelry, all sorts of things. Some people needed winterwear, some people wanted summer dresses.

Starting point is 00:56:16 Oh, I was a fucking idiot. I was an ape. I was a chimpanzee. No, I think the same. I'm like, oh, kids are so awful. And then I think about me as a kid and it was like, me and my cousin would like dig a hole in the backyard, poop and pee in it and then try to get his sister to step in it.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Like we were fucked up. Kids are always going to be fucked up. Yeah, kids are just like disaster.

Oh, that was, I literally, I have literally googled that exact, that exact, I think everybody has.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Boobs.com, sex.com, boobes.com, porn.com. Deer dick. My mind was blown when I found out that porn.com wasn't technically, like, wasn't the main place. Yeah.

I'm I dude I porn.gov porn dot e I want that to be my website porn dot e.u porn dot edu
Starting point is 00:57:17 DeVry.com Those fucking commercials website for some reason Those Debride commercials are some of the best because they just like you could tell that nobody in those commercials was happy no I tell they were all like I go to DeBri and I just
Starting point is 00:57:32 sometimes I wanted to stop You ever feel like I feel like if you're advertising a college That's a bad sign isn't it? Because like you don't really have to advertise The best schools People just know about them Like I've never seen a Harvard commercial
Starting point is 00:57:49 Ever That's a really good point yeah I've never seen like You never see commercials about UCs What's that? Like almost like universities Yeah yeah You don't really
Starting point is 00:57:59 You only see commercials Oh I'm in the state I'm gonna go to that college Yeah But with DeVry and stuff It's like You can do this anywhere Also, we're real.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Also, we're real. And, like, you don't have to have anyone drop you off here. It's fine if you go by yourself. They're assuming everyone that goes to college gets dropped off. That is their demographic, though. People that go to DePry is they can't drive. You don't have to get dropped off here. That's like their main selling point.
Starting point is 00:58:30 It's the first thing on their website. It's like the header image on their website. It's like, you don't even have to get dropped off here. off. You go to the school store and there's like lunch boxes. But it's like the old ones. I love that's a slogan for it. You don't have to get dropped off here.
Starting point is 00:58:48 No, you don't even have to get dropped off. It's fine. It's like, show up alone. Show up alone by yourself. Show up alone. Don't bring anybody with you. Seriously, don't. DeVry, DeVry, show up alone.
Starting point is 00:59:05 online thing it's just of course fucking college you're gonna show up who am I gonna go who am I gonna come my online classes with is it an online university
Starting point is 00:59:16 I thought it was a real place I don't I thought it was I'm gonna look this I thought it was a real place I wouldn't I wouldn't give it the time I don't know I barely spend any time in college
Starting point is 00:59:24 I'm not you might be right it might be a real place I'm I'm no expert on college by any means I dropped out so fast yeah so quickly I had like a week
Starting point is 00:59:33 a week and a half I think and then I dropped out. Really? That's quicker than me. Did you finish first semester? I went for two years at Duchess because my parents were like, you got to go. And I was like, I really don't think that's smart. It's a huge waste of money. I think I know how to do this.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Yeah, no. So you went to college for what? How long? I can never remember exactly, but it was either like a week and a half or like two weeks tops. That's wild. And then because that was like before the first payment was due. Yeah, yeah. My financial aid wasn't coming through.
Starting point is 01:00:03 And my parents weren't really in a position. where they could help me. But those are all really excuses because really I just didn't want to go. No, exactly. I remember the conversation with my mom that I was like, is it cool if I just like, don't go? And I just like keep living in Denver with my siblings. And she was like, yeah, do, do your thing.
Starting point is 01:00:19 And I was like, okay. I went for two years at community college and I was doing film there. And it was like the biggest waste of time. Because I was like, I remember specifically like, I want to do film. I want to do like video editing and stuff. And my parents were like, oh, you got to go to college for that. And I was like, I don't think I don't think I do. do. I think I just need to work on like reels and stuff and like get projects and like do things.
Starting point is 01:00:39 You know, like, now you got to go. I was like, okay, I guess I'll go to community college. And I remember going, I remember the first day I sat in like my editing class and everybody was going around the room telling like, introducing themselves and being like, I'm Daniel. My favorite color is swan. My dick is four inches long. No more, no less. Daniel, why are you sharing this? How perfectly adequate. it. My little Bob's it man I like
Starting point is 01:01:04 I like Fratry I don't care with you like Bob die perish Bob on the spot
Starting point is 01:01:12 he just listens to the command okay okay he fucking fades away fucking Thanos also real quick
Starting point is 01:01:19 DeVry is it actual place yeah and it's online and it's in LA actually oh shit
Starting point is 01:01:24 is what weird I'm like you going in Sherman Oaks in particular wow that's actually
Starting point is 01:01:30 a pretty good location for DeVry. All right, DeVry. All right. DeVry went to DeVry. Graduated.
Starting point is 01:01:36 The actual college walks out of the doors. I went to Debride. Was that the theme song to DeVry? That's the graduation theme. But it was real dumb. But it's like really slow and wrong. I hated. I hated it.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Everybody in that editing class was an idiot. They were just like. It's good for friends, though. That was the big. It's good for networking. That's literally the only thing. Because once I dropped out, it was like, I had, I just moved to Denver. How else was I going to make friends? So I just didn't. Like, until I got a job and made friends that way, like, you just don't meet people. Yeah. College is really just like kind of a social thing that you're being in the dorm and college is like you go there if you don't understand a concept that you're trying to understand. That's it. But if you understand, if you have an understanding of the concept and have a means of getting a job in there, you don't go with it. Like you don't. Or you can just read shit online too. That's the thing. It's like even like for a lot of the creative, especially a lot of the creative. If that's a different thing. Like art and like film and like even game design, honestly to a certain extent.
Starting point is 01:02:37 Oh, networking. Especially now. Ass. Yeah. But like you can learn a lot of that stuff. I can't. I can't learn how to be a nurse. No, but they're like medical is different.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Like medical you absolutely probably should go to school. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Most likely. I think I think like 99% you don't want like you don't want like a self-made doctor, you know. Could you imagine.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Where'd you go? Debride. Debride. Also self-taught. I'm an improv doctor. Did you imagine you sit down, you by the operation. Hey, where did your degree? I didn't get one.
Starting point is 01:03:08 And then he puts the mask on your face. Yeah. I was homeschooled. He cuts you open. He's in the middle of cutting you open as you're asking this. You realize, what did you go to, what did you get your degree? Because I should be under anesthetics, shouldn't I? I'm, it hurts.
Starting point is 01:03:24 This hurts a lot. I woke up during surgery once. That's just, that's actually for real. What kind of surgery? It was like a, like a biopsy. I had like, like, a swollen lymph node or something on my leg or like on my hip or something they were like ah weird
Starting point is 01:03:35 we better check that out to make sure it's not the big seat so we did that and it was it was fine you're like I got kitty cats inside of me I got kittens I got kittens getting cats inside of me yeah sure kid this is how I learned I had like a weird like tolerance for anesthetic which is why going to
Starting point is 01:03:51 they really they got to dope you up they really well I passed out immediately after I woke up because it hurt so much you fell asleep like that was enough to knock me out the anesthetic wasn't so much that's a much that's brutal It was fucking great. You can't even imagine.
Starting point is 01:04:03 It feels... The best way I can describe it is imagine if parts of you that were never cold before were freezing. Because there are parts of you that are touching open air that really should not. And it's like... I have like really sensitive teeth so that immediately what I thought of is like the sensation of biting into ice cream. It's exactly... It's shockingly similar.
Starting point is 01:04:24 Oh, that's like the worst and best description anyone's ever giving me. That scares me. I've never been... It's certainly not comfortable. Most people don't wake up. You fucking passed out. I hope so. I like never faint.
Starting point is 01:04:34 I've never fainted from just like falling or anything. I've never fainted from like an injury or like blood loss or like seeing anything crazy. One time I got boners so big. One time I did got so hard I fucking took a knife. It went up to my head and hit me in the face and I knocked out. I was so hard I tipped over but I didn't fall because it was like a tripod. It was fucking wild. When I broke a bunch of my ribs, I was like I was in shock walking around.
Starting point is 01:05:01 I keep forgetting you broke all of your ribs Not all of them, I go, a vast majority of them, though I mean, what did you do? He fell. I was on a gate, then I was trying to hop over it, and I was like being a dumb kid, because you know when you get to top of high things as a kid, you're like, oh, whoa, I'm a god, I'm a deity among men.
Starting point is 01:05:17 And then I fell off onto a rock. Like on top rock that was in the ground, and it is my chest just like kind of high-fived the rock. And then all I remember is like, for the first like minute or so, I was like kind of just like on my elbow in knees just like kind of trying to like figure out why am I in so much pain and like but how I'm not all right let's think about this that's like so much pain that you you can't
Starting point is 01:05:40 even really cry you're just like busy processing like is this possible I was in shock I'm pretty sure I think I was like yeah you're looking at pie charts and shit the body was just like it builds out of TI 82 too it's like this doesn't add up quite my bone my lungs should be not so restricted how old are you I was like 16 Oh, damn. So you weren't like... That's older than I thought you were. You said like a kid as if you were like...
Starting point is 01:06:05 That's a kid. I mean, that's a kid, but I was picturing like a little kid on top of something. Yeah, not like 16 year old when you said it. Nah, my... That shit fucking hurt. You broke your dumb little eight-year-old ribs. Yeah, that's what I thought. You're fragile, dumb hands.
Starting point is 01:06:16 It was so bad that like I was in so much pain that I couldn't help but focus intently on most things. I was just like, I don't know where I'm at. This gate, that rock is strong. Why is there a rock there? Holy shit. That's a strong-ass rock, dude. That's a strong-ass rock, dude.
Starting point is 01:06:30 That rock does cross fit. I fucked up. It's a level 20 rock. And then my friend was like, are you all right? And I was like, I need to go to the hospital. So I went to my house,
Starting point is 01:06:38 knocked on my door. And I remember, with broken ribs. The first thing I remember is when I got an house is that my grandmother was like attempting to hit me. She was like going for the hit. She was like, I'm going to hit him because he's hurt already.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Maybe I should hit him. It's going to teach him his lesson. And I remember like not trying to get out there. I was kind of trying to sit down and like figure out what was going on. So I went to the hospital. It's awesome for fucking two weeks. Your grandma is Hispanic, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:59 That's a Hispanic thing, for sure. Very. I got the slipper a lot. No, she used her hands, dude. She has strong hands, bro. It was like impressive. Her hands were stronger than a flip-flop. For an old person, like,
Starting point is 01:07:09 damn. Like, she had such, like, such a powerful hand, you know. And, like, I just, I eventually stopped her. You just, like, admiring your grandma's hands. My grandma's hands were so strong, dude. My grandma's hands. You imagine kids, like, gathering after school, bragging about their grandparents' hands.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Oh, shit. My grandma's hands. Do you think your Xbox is cool? You should see my grandma's mom. my grandma juiced a fucking pebble once swear to god no juice the pebble have you ever broken any bones jake uh technically yeah but i was a baby oh wow yeah so i don't remember it but my dad was carrying me and he fell down some stairs and i broke like what what's this bone femur the biggest one in your body tibia it's a femur it's yeah your main leg bones i think it's femur i broke it just like straight up
Starting point is 01:07:57 cracked. Like I have a scar on my hip from like, oh shit. The waistband like as they were like you know the cast it was like a little too tight so there's this little mark right here. Wow. But yeah, that's the only thing. That's fucking wow. I've like asked my dad questions about it and I can just tell when he talks about it. He feels so
Starting point is 01:08:13 bad because like he dropped the baby. The stairs were wet. He falls like that's got to be terrifying. That's some real. He, no he said As a parent that must be must be mortifying. No, he said that he seriously thought that it was like I don't know if I was going to walk. Because my growth plate, like that part got fucked.
Starting point is 01:08:31 So he likes to joke that's why I'm so tall because he's like, oh yeah, I did it on purpose so you'd be tall. But really I know that he was like terrified. That's got to be funny. I feel bad for him, like thinking about that. Like I hold a baby and I freak out. If I did something to a baby, I'd be like, I don't hold babies. I don't.
Starting point is 01:08:46 People have given, I've had family. Do you want to hold them? It's like, absolutely not. It's too much. Because here's the thing. Like I understand that I'm a human being and I'm fallible. And I know that there's something. Something's going to go wrong at some point.
Starting point is 01:08:57 Intrusive thoughts or if you have intrusive thoughts when you're holding a baby, it's like, I imagine every scenario that could go wrong. I lose balance by myself sometimes. Babies, what if they just start moving? Whenever they start struggling, fucking shucking and jiving. It's like, I'm going to jump out of my hands. The baby starts flossing while you're holding it. Stop it, baby, stop it.
Starting point is 01:09:15 You're not ninja. Stop it. It's like, what's happening? I've never broken a bone. I've dislocated a bunch of them. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophie.

Some of them were truly one-of-a-kind pieces connected to specific moments, TV sets or from personal collections. One of the things I loved the most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. Sure, people who wanted a pair of my jeans could get them, but people who might be a different size than me could buy accessories. If you're a size eight,
Starting point is 01:10:13 you're lucky, because that's my shoe size. They could do purses, jewelry, all sorts of things. Some people needed winterwear. Some people wanted summer dresses. It wound up being so much fun. To listen to more, check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts. Find what you love, sell what you don't. eBay, things people love.

Starting point is 01:11:18 time and then afterwards it's like lull i'm a little bit out of place i'm so waggy random for our D, dude. Look at me, I'm fucking unique, right? Look at my fucking bones, jump out of place. It's like you actually break it.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Fuck. Like, I said, like, after I dislocated my knee, though, like, I would have these dreams of like, I would dislocate my knee and it would,
Starting point is 01:11:38 like, my kneecap would be like up here. Like, I'd have these vivid dreams like, oh shit, like, oh shit. I don't know. He's bending. And I remember,
Starting point is 01:11:45 like, in my dreams, I would, like, try to push it back, but it would keep, like, it was like the beetle and like the mummy movie. It was like crawling around around the skin.
Starting point is 01:11:51 But it's your kneecap. Your kneecaps on like your forehead. Yeah, it's like, what the fuck's going on? It's a fucking horrifying experience when it happens the first time because you're like, this isn't even, I wasn't even educated about this. Like, I didn't even know that. Like, I knew that you could dislocate things, but nobody really explains that in depth to you. I didn't understand what a broken bone is pretty obviously because it's like,
Starting point is 01:12:11 it looks broken bone. It looks comedic, broken bones. I know because of that show on MTV or whatever the fuck scarred. Yeah. It's all the skateboarding shit. Yeah. That was like the original live leak. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:21 televised lively for real though totally capitalized on people's sickness of watching that shit that was a fucking gross show like I'm surprised that that was even there was some brutal stuff on there some guy had his balls in his hand
Starting point is 01:12:34 he was like yeah I remember that balls and I was just like oh shit yo look at that like he dug in his pants and I was like what's the bag of tricks
Starting point is 01:12:46 was he got to pull out the bag of tricks his balls were severed but he kept them still his like test The cools were ripped open. I can't do that, man. I get squeamish about that shit. So easy.
Starting point is 01:12:57 They were out saying hello to everybody. I could see. I could, I can power my way through a lot of things, but like stuff like that specific areas. Like I can't. That's like me with eyes. That's why I haven't been able to get contacts because I just can't touch my eyes. I'm kind of the same way.
Starting point is 01:13:11 I can't do contact. Any movie where they're like gouging eyes or like there's that famous like Game of Thrones scene of like the, I don't watch Game of Thrones, but it's like the falcon and the, there's like an animal thing. but it's like a small guy fighting a big guy and he like the viper or something yeah yeah yeah viper in the mountain yeah do you know what I'm talking about
Starting point is 01:13:28 because he the little guy like beats the big guy but then while he's cocky the big guy like grabs him and kills him by just crushing his skull like that that's some real shit his head actually just like explodes like a fucking juicy food that's the shit that like I my sick curiosity when I saw that in a Reddit thread I was like I want to see it and I watched it and I was like what fuck did I'm yeah no it's shit makes me so squeam
Starting point is 01:13:49 I can't do the contact thing either I'm going I'm good at everything. Tears is what bothers me. What do you mean? Like if someone cries before something really bad happens to him, like that's what fucks me up. What? That's weird.
Starting point is 01:13:59 That's an emotional parker? Because whenever I, whenever I see emotion in something, it's like, oh, it's not funny anymore. That's another human being in distress because they're about to get harmed. So you don't mind them being in, like,
Starting point is 01:14:11 like, if it happens, like if it happens, and like it pops out of nowhere, like somebody's walking and bam, they get hit my car. It has that comedic, like,
Starting point is 01:14:18 this isn't real element. But like, that's why I'm like, I couldn't do live leak. I was like, oh, man. These are like very real human. I remember I saw it when I was like, it must have been 2005. So I was like maybe 11, maybe.
Starting point is 01:14:31 And I remember the first video I saw, I was like, it was the worst thing I ever seen. It wasn't even like particularly graphic, but it was like this video of a soldier in Iraq throwing a puppy off a cliff. Like you didn't see anything, but you know. You know, it's like, oh, man, I don't, you know what? I'm okay. I'm going to not go to this site for a launch. And I was like, oh, well, I was just like, the woman was crying. And I was like, this is just evil.
Starting point is 01:14:57 This is not, this is not even like joker shit. This is like, he's a bad person for doing this. And I was like, I can't, I can't be here no more. I got to like, I got to. Yeah, I've had friends that told me into the shadows. They saw beheading stuff. And it's like, there's a part of you that's like, well, I can see that. And then like, I never, I never could watch that.
Starting point is 01:15:13 For me, it was watching like a crazy train accident. Like, you don't see anyone, but you know, like, everyone on that train died. Yeah. Like, that kind of stuff. I've definitely seen some crazy train show. I want a puppy off. That's like... It's fucked up.
Starting point is 01:15:24 It's really more... I showed them a video yesterday of like people like a bus. They're driving in a bus and then something goes on. And then the full bus ends up empty by the end of the video. But you're laughing at it. You're fucking cracking up. That's funny because like the quality of it, the video is bad, you know. Then the fact that the bus driver was sitting down and he ended up falling out the window of the bus that he was driving.
Starting point is 01:15:46 Like that kind of stuff is like, ah, that's kind of funny, you know. You're a morbid. You're a morbid sound of bitch, man. I can't see it. You're like, ha ha, ha. I love it. You're talking about like, oh, tears really just, they choked me up and then you're like, but this bus did a barrel roll and it was the funniest shit.
Starting point is 01:16:00 What makes it funny is that like, it's just like, that's a full, full vehicle that's not full 10 seconds later. And no one got up and got out. That's what makes it funny to me. Like, no. I guess the setup of it is amusing. But, yeah, I don't know. That stuff, like, freaks me out sometimes.
Starting point is 01:16:17 So we got some questions from people. on Patreon and some people on Twitter also you're gonna get some general audience questions but I guess we'll start off with some patron stuff because that seems to make the most sense because they pay money thank you thanks for that yeah thank you for that's jakey giving you some cases oh my god that was like you were you were pulling away and I was like no come back intimate so Daniel McCann what says what are some of your favorite multiplayer games and why this is Sophia Bush from work in progress with Sophia Bush, check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay.
Starting point is 01:16:57 When I was living in Chicago, I took part in my first ever giant charity sale and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. They were items that marked huge moments in my life and in my career. And though I was ready to pass them along, I also wanted to make sure they were going to someone who would love them. One of the things I loved the most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. It wound up being so much fun to see where each and every item was going, where it was going to be loved. And in passing items along like that, authenticity really matters to the person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee.
Starting point is 01:17:41 They weren't just listing my items. They were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely from where it claimed to be, in this case, my closet.

Starting point is 01:18:27 Take delivery by 331. Okay. Multiplayer games. Are you throwing to online multiplayer or this in general? I don't think he says online specifically. Oh, well, number one is Smash Bros for me. Yeah. Undoubtedly.
Starting point is 01:18:38 That's everybody's. Of like... Truth be told. Yeah. Smash Bros. Any cart racer? I've never seen you play a cart racer in your life. I don't like them that much anymore.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Like Mario Party, even though I hate that game. a little bit of love for it. I'm pumped as fuck for Crash Team racing, though, honestly, for real. I would say, here, let's, what if we break it down this way, if, like, whether it's local or online, just give, like, four. Like, what's your, like, top four Desert Island? Like, I can play by myself for hours? No, no, no, multiplayer games.
Starting point is 01:19:05 Like, if you're going to a party and you only had these games, what would they be? So, first is Smash Bros, of course. Yep, same. Second is Tower Floor on Tower Fall Ascension. That's a great one. Absolutely adore that game. It's the only good Uya game. Yeah, it was on Uya.
Starting point is 01:19:17 Dude, I hate to say it, but. Yeah, it's, it's, it's bomb. But now it's on everything, so it's okay. What's another one? Ooh, yeah. Between Crash, Crash Team Racing and Mario Car Double Dash, that's a hard, that's a hard sale. And then what's another multiplayer game that people just play?
Starting point is 01:19:37 It's like, oh, the whole band's here. Ah, man, I don't want to say it. Fucking Mario Party, honestly. Mario party's like bad but in the best way It's like it's always fun I hate it It's called dickhead the game It's being a fucking
Starting point is 01:19:56 I'm like I'm like about to get a star And someone's like sorry You're going back to the beginning My bad but that star is mine now I know people that I probably honestly That I don't even talk to anymore because like I lost one actual friend because of it Yeah it's a fucking it destroy like
Starting point is 01:20:10 It makes you so mad at people that you already have like Some brutal Mario Party It gets really It gets just fucking It's just being in since insidious, the game. You know what it is? When you're playing it with a group of people,
Starting point is 01:20:21 you realize who in that group of people you like the most because the people you don't make you extra angry. Like, it's like, oh, man, I really... I know the feeling you're talking about. Man, that person, ah, man, I'm hanging out with this guy a lot, but man, I fucking, ooh, boy, today is like really trying. It's really trying me. Like, this is my house, when this game's over,
Starting point is 01:20:38 I'm telling him leave right away. Damn. So, wait, was that, was that your four? He had Smash Bros. Smash Bros. Tower Fall. Tower Fall, a cart racer, Mario Party? Yeah. What car racer?
Starting point is 01:20:49 It's between Smash. It's just between Spire. Double Dash and... Double Dash and Crash Team Racing. They're both such good games. Yeah. For me, it'd be double-dashed. Yeah, mine are super similar.
Starting point is 01:21:00 I'd say mine would be like, Smash, whether it's melee or Ultimate. We can just say Smash. Yeah. Double Dash, Halo 3. And then probably Jackbox, actually. Mainly for Quiplash. Like, I've had so much fun playing that. And then I've, like, honorable mention, especially online with
Starting point is 01:21:18 friends that aren't here. I've played so much Left for Dead that like that's like that deserves I mentioned that game but Halo 3 for local multiplayer it'd be smash Mario Kart Halo 3 Jackbox for sure I'd even think specifically quiplash that I played so much Halo online that's I played that game was my online I just played Halo 3 online Halo 3's it's the best for both though yeah for such a fucking those those custom games lobbies are some of the best like times I've had in video games period yeah like I can't the fact that it's coming to PC is like amazing to me I'm so excited for that day. Are both just, like, timeless.
Starting point is 01:21:51 Smash is a game that, like, no matter what or no matter who you are, you can't enjoy that game. Like, it's, like, it's... Smash Brothers? Yeah. Even the worst Smash Bros. It's still an amazing game. Even you.
Starting point is 01:22:01 You say, oh, this game is fucking ridiculous. And then you're playing, like, I'm actually having a good time. Well, I hated... I hated brawl. And I really didn't like whatever the fuck the... The fourth one? Yeah. What was that?
Starting point is 01:22:12 We used. We used the dumbest names. I didn't like those. I liked melee a lot. I really love melee back in the day. I think. Yeah. Well, that's, because it was so ridiculous. It was, it was, like, broken in, like, the right way.
Starting point is 01:22:22 It was, like, broken. The tech skill is amazing. It was broken the way Halo 2 was broken. Like, where you just see people like, what the fuck? How did you get? What is this? L-cancel and, like, yeah. Yeah, I play way too much. I got, like, really, really, really good at that game.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Yeah. Like, I was so competent. And, like, I was like, ah, my little fingers can just take and go all night. Who, who's your main? And melee, Marth. Don't. There's falcon, Falcon, Marth. Mark was, like, the pocket one.
Starting point is 01:22:47 but everybody was like, oh, you play Martha your assholes. Like, yeah, fuck you. Dude, Martha's a good character. Like, you play, I definitely, right? I think I played him the most. I don't know. I think back then I didn't really have a concept of maining anything. I just kind of played whatever the fuck.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Because I wasn't good at it. He's the coolest looking character, I think. Like his animations, specifically in melee, it's like, what other fighting game character has a fucking sword and like a cape? Like, I remember seeing it back in the day of, like, his animations are beautiful. And you see someone who's really fast and good at playing him, and it's like, it's a fucking art.
Starting point is 01:23:16 Is that the same for Ultimate? Uh, no, for Ultimate. Who do you mean in Ultimate? Ultimate is my favorite characters are edgily Wolf, because Wolf is fucking badass. Yeah, Wolf is sick. And then Pitt. Oh, so very, very different. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:28 Yeah, very, like a huge variety in characters. And it's weird. In Ultimate, Smash 4, I hated Falcon because he sucked. And Ultimate, he's technically still not supposed to be that good on the tier list, but they made the knee easy to hit again, just like in melee. Yeah. So in Ultimate, it's like, I'm actually like back on Fal-I. I haven't played it on Ultimate, but it's like Falcon and D-K.
Starting point is 01:23:46 Because I'm Smash 4. Or DK all day. Like DK and Mario. You play a lot of smash. We play a lot of smash. I think it's like pretty much every day at this point. Like what happens? I need to,
Starting point is 01:23:54 since it came out, I've only played it a handful of times. I fucking love ultimate. Dude, literally what happens is every night, like late as fuck. Like I'm doing homework in the fucking living room. Like late,
Starting point is 01:24:03 like just half asleep in and one of our roommates comes out. And we have a phrase called run it back. Oh yeah. You want to run it back? And what that means is that for a game match from like a month ago, we picked the exact same characters on the exact same stage. play and I I'm not gonna to my heart like I think I'm the best smash player
Starting point is 01:24:21 I played it competitively for a little bit like I actually played the game yeah probably a lot like Ultimate competitive no an ultimate ultimate ultimate I don't have time on the school I can't play competitive Smash in general smash in general Smash for I played way too much But like he'd play it and it would be literally just be like My two roommates because I'm playing as Donkey Kong
Starting point is 01:24:37 Who I'm not good at just beating the shit out of me Donkey Kong for like hour he's so fun to play But I'm so ridiculous do seeing someone Like win tournament and shit with D.K. And Smash 4 is my favorite. I love D.K. Because he's literally such, he's just a ape with a, like a fucking tie on.
Starting point is 01:24:57 That's, there's nothing else about him. That's, no, what they are. Like, Ditty has a tail, but he's, like a chimpanzee. D.K. is just a gorilla with a tie on. Would it be better if they just put, like, an actual photo realistic gorilla, like, with, like, tress effects, like, hair physics on? shit. That'd be amazing if that's one of the skins for DK.
Starting point is 01:25:19 It's just a real ass monkey. Like one of the mives. It's not even a tie either. It's just straight up. And it's Harambe. When he does it's like he charged up his punches, it's him just twirl the little kid. I forgot about that name.
Starting point is 01:25:31 I'm actually genuinely upset that you reminded me about that. Yeah, I totally forgot about the Harambe. I had such a good period of time for getting it. Harambe. Haramie. We all had to do it. I don't care anyway says.
Starting point is 01:25:41 Chris, what about we, you didn't say you're... Oh, the main? I'm snaking. I'm snaking. Simon. No, the, well, that too, but the multiplayer games. Like, what's your film? Oh, I feel it's basically everything we've said already. Smash, Mario Kart
Starting point is 01:25:53 Halo. It's definitely, it's smash. For Mario Kart, I would say Crash Team Racing, just because I prefer, I think that's a really underrated car racer. It's a great game. There's a lot of physics that goes on. And, like, you're talking about the PS1 one. The PS1, yeah. I literally have my PS1 hooked up with it just because it's the only game on the PS1 that I can't get
Starting point is 01:26:09 in like a remaster form. They're remastering it later this year. Is it on the PS1 classic? No, it's not. Because I see you got it Yeah, they sent me. By he doesn't use. He doesn't, he hates it. Everyone I've talked to was, like, disappointed with it. The problem with the PS1 classic is that it's, it's just, it's so poorly made that I can't, I just don't understand how they managed to get.
Starting point is 01:26:28 Do the games run good? No. Because they mix PAL and NTSC, which is like very different. Like, back in the day, PAL was, like, very inferior. I think, I think it ran at, like, a really inconsistent frame rate. No, it did. Because, yeah, the TV's over there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:43 It's like, it are 60 FPS, they would have to run it at like 50 or 55 or something. Oh, really? Yeah, so it's... So when a lot of PS1 games already are struggling to hit 30 FPS and they're getting capped at like 25 or whatever it is, yeah. I know, I know what you're talking about. And, like, some of the games on it are PAL and some of them are NTSC and it's like really inconsistent and like there's not really a lot on it. The machine has, as a unit to mod and like hack and like do some crazy it's a good, it's good. You can make it.
Starting point is 01:27:12 Yeah. But it's too much. money to just it. It was like $100 when it launched. I think it's down to like $50 now. Yeah, and I see them in stock in a lot of places. So it's clearly that like, they're trying to get rid of them because no one's, who's going to want to? No one's biting.
Starting point is 01:27:24 I don't know. It seems like a weird idea too because they just remastered like two of the biggest trilogies on the PS1 in the crash and spiral collection. So it's weird. But like as far as like multiplayer, it's like definitely smash. I think I really like Ultimate a lot. It's a great game. Ultimate's the perfect.
Starting point is 01:27:40 Like they really, it's a love letter. It feels like they find. finally found that like which is an amazing feat but that perfect middle between hardcore competitive and casual yeah they've been trying to do that forever brawl was too casual smash four was still a little too slow ultimate is like they was super competitive everyone stoked on ultimate yeah ultimate reminds me of like halo 3 in that way it really balances like the casual like hey fuck around and like they're really like intense like rank kind of like fucking character in it yeah but it's definitely smash crash team racing uh i'm trying to settle on a halo i'm trying to settle on a halo i
Starting point is 01:28:13 I would probably three. Although I'd be silly if I didn't say just the collection just because it's everything. Which, come on a PC, which is so fucking sick. I actually kind of shouted when I found that out. And I've been playing them. I haven't been like not playing them. It's not like, oh man, I can't wait to play those again.
Starting point is 01:28:31 But just the idea of like, the idea of playing Halo 3 with a bigger field of view is incredible to me. And I'm so excited because that was proper ports of like one and two and three and reach and four. I haven't played reach in such a long time. I haven't played reach since how I get you a lot. Reach weirdly gets me super excited on PC. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:50 Because I played a ton of reach. I liked three more, but I played so much reach like SWAT and snipers. Just thinking of playing those on PC, I'm like, I'm so stoked. I'm a Halo lover, but I'm not,
Starting point is 01:29:01 I can't act like one and two are travesties. Like I can't, I can't truly act like one and two are like, like they're good games, they're fun to play, like I enjoy playing them. What do you mean they're travesties? I think of them in the melee, like, there's things wrong with them, but that's why I like.
Starting point is 01:29:16 Halo 1 is a mess. Well, multiplayer-wise, yeah. That game is just. I still love it, though. The animations for the Magnum and the shotguns are so good. Flipping the gun around. They're so good. That was really cool.
Starting point is 01:29:26 The physics of Halo 1 are hilarious. Oh, yeah, because it's janky and amazing. Halo 1 is like. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush.

Starting point is 01:29:51 I took part in my first ever giant charity sale, and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. Some of them were truly one-of-a-kind pieces connected to specific moments, TV sets, or from personal collections. One of the things I loved the most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. Sure, people who wanted a pair of my jeans could get them, but people who might be a different size than me could buy accessories. If you're a size eight, you're lucky, because that's my shoe size. They could do purses, jewelry, all sorts of things. Some people needed winterwear, some people wanted summer dresses. It wound up being so much fun.

But there's that, that little X factor part of you that's like, I can't even tell you why I'm so obsessed. Yeah, I can't. You just, you just are. I genuinely don't know why. I think it helps that it came out at a very particular point in time.
Starting point is 01:32:29 That's a big part of it, yeah. Because it, because Halo 3 launched around the time that YouTube was around and it was big, but it wasn't, like, this crazy big platform that, like, everybody was on and everybody knew about it. It was kind of like the beginning of content creation. That's why, like, Machinima was so huge back in the day because people were, like, using Halo to make shows. And I was like, I want to do that. That's what made me want to make videos. It was just seeing people make shit in Halo.
Starting point is 01:32:51 I remember thinking it was crazy. You got the file share, you got the forge. Like, Halo 3. That was a game. That was a game. That's the best way to put it. That's a bona fide game. I put it this way.
Starting point is 01:33:02 Halo 3 was my first social network. Like, actually. For real. Between that and Xbox Live, like, that's very, like, I can rant about this for hours. Halo 3 gives me the most fuzzy feelings about any of them. Like, I love one and two. I love reach, but 3 is like...
Starting point is 01:33:17 There's nothing else like... Three's the 3. 3's got that vibe. It's one of my favorite shooting games. 3 was crazy. There's a video that I found a couple years ago, but I watch it every now and again just because it's like the most enjoyable, like, nostalgia feeling
Starting point is 01:33:29 of just these kids who, like, made like a 10-minute documentary about the midnight launch of Halo 3, and it's them just like recording... I think I know what you're talking about. It's just them, like, gathering, like, calling their friends, like, yo, you ready? And then they're, like, setting up their CRT TVs. And, like, there's this one point in this video where they go up to one of their
Starting point is 01:33:47 roommates or something. And they're like, so are you excited? And he was like, you know, I wasn't before, but, you know, seeing all this, I'm kind of jazzed. And it's like, it really captures everything. It's like a perfect time capsule. There's some dude watching Seinfeld on like an iPhone 1 or something, like the first-gen iPhone.
Starting point is 01:34:04 It's the weirdest thing. And there's people, like, playing it in the... The iPod Touch. Yeah. And it got me thinking, I want to do a video on, like, on the death of the midnight release. Because it's kind of sad. Because I remember really. Yeah, because it is gone.
Starting point is 01:34:17 Because you just pre-download it. You just download stuff. And even if you go get them in person, it's not nearly the same amount of people that show up. Because back then, you really had to go to the place to get your game. You couldn't download it back then. Even on the rudimentary Xbox 360s, you could really only download demos. Which even that, I remember, was crazy. Yeah, even that took a long time.
Starting point is 01:34:36 even though they were like, maybe like 58 megs or something. Like, it was hilarious. It was bad. Caitlin. What up? What up? K.K. What up K.K.
Starting point is 01:34:44 Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, nay. Opinion on the Borderlands games. A lot of people ask this, actually, which is, I guess because they just kind of recently teased Borderlands 3. I'm not a big fan of Borderlands. Yeah, could go with them, could go without them.
Starting point is 01:34:58 Two was fun. Co-op with friends. But like that whole just like grind to get another thing to get another thing. It's like the inherent actual combat. is just okay. So if you take away all of the grindiness, it's like the division.
Starting point is 01:35:10 Like you take away all the stats and stuff, it's just kind of a muddy shooter. That's kind of how I feel about it. And the art style never did that much for me. Art style that was fairly cool. I like the style of it,
Starting point is 01:35:20 but the shooting, the actual minute to minute gameplay of it, I never felt was quite where it needed to be. It always felt kind of, it always felt kind of janky to me. It felt kind of floaty.
Starting point is 01:35:29 Yeah. If that makes sense. Two had some really funny writing and stuff. Yeah. I appreciate it a lot about, I appreciate Borderlands a lot, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this next thing is out of just sheer curiosity.
Starting point is 01:35:39 I'll probably play it for the, for sacred symbols, but I'm not super hyped about it. I'm intrigued. I'll put it that way. Good, good answer. I remember that girl moxie had big boobs and she's from born and she's born in a lot of it.
Starting point is 01:35:51 That's right. So much source filmmaker porn in that character. It's ridiculous. Gustav says, or asks, does not saying anything. All I guess asking is saying. What is he saying?
Starting point is 01:36:03 What games are you most hype for? Oh, this year? Okay, Sekiro Shadows must die. I'm pumped for Sechro. That's like, I'm beyond excited. Bloodborn's like seriously, maybe my favorite game ever, and I kind of forgot. Is it Sechro or Securo? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:36:18 It's Securo. I hear it said differently, but like only recently did I remember it's coming and I've been watching like every trailer. It comes out literally next week. And I'm not ready for that. I'm really excited. I'm really excited. Just like, I was never big on Dark Souls. I loved Bloodbourne a lot.
Starting point is 01:36:34 but like I feel like the reason I like a lot of video games that let you have a lot of control over what your character does and like having a lot having freedom of movement while not while still being restricted like a like a Spider-Man type deal
Starting point is 01:36:46 where like you can do a lot of things but you're still restricted into as there's rules yeah there's rules um Dark Souls never did it to me because I felt so staple to the ground all the time There's only a couple ways to do that Yeah there's very weak in Dark Souls
Starting point is 01:36:59 I love Dark Souls games I love the idea of like just having a disheaval disadvantage constantly in combat. Like, I like that about Dark Souls. Yeah. I saw that's why I like D&D though. I said that be like D&D and Dark Souls like very similar to me in that sense.
Starting point is 01:37:16 But, like Bloodborn, I liked how just aggressively, just how you were just fucking ripping people apart and taking names. It's the extremes of both. Like, if you suck at it, you're going to get so fucking. Like, I kicked Dark Soul one. Like, by the time I finished that game, I fucking ruled at it. Like, I had the. Perry's down everything.
Starting point is 01:37:35 I got a PS4 just to play Bloodbourne. Fucking got my ass kicked for like the first six hours or so. I was so bad at Bloodbourne that I remember two of my closest friends would just sit down and tell me I sucked every time I played it. And then it got to the point that was like I'm just going to, I'm just going to go there. I'm just going to beach that everything. And I got so good because it's so heavily emphasized. That might beat the beat people.
Starting point is 01:37:59 Fuck them hurt them. I never finished Bloodbourne, but I really liked it. Dude, it gets way crazy. You have to just lean into it. It's like Dark Souls, you have to be like, okay, I got to be more patient. I got to wait, roll, put up my shield, whatever. Bloodborne, it's like lean into the aggress. Like, the crazier you play, the better.
Starting point is 01:38:15 Three is a really good combination of both, too. Dark Souls 3 is like, it's like the combination of Bloodborne and like Dark Souls One race like, you got to pick your moments where you got to like, you got to go all in. Even like aesthetically, you can still see that they were kind of in a bloodborne mode. Yeah, I really, really love that game. Dark Souls 3 is a fucking great game. I have to finish it. I never finish it.
Starting point is 01:38:35 I never beat three. Bloodborn is like, god damn. And my favorite weapon in Bloodbourne is like the katana. It's called the Chikage. Yeah. They're like the two-handed mode. It like slowly hurts you,
Starting point is 01:38:46 but you do crazy damage. So seeing some of the Securo gameplay, I'm like, they're literally making the exact game that I would want after Bloomberg. I just love the idea of like, the fact that I think it's rumored that this was supposed to be like a Tenshu game.
Starting point is 01:38:58 It totally. You can see Tensu. Like the first time I saw the trailer, I was like, oh my God, are they making another Tensu? This is fucking wild. and the second it's like, oh, hey, from software,
Starting point is 01:39:06 it's like, oh, hell, okay. I'm down. The fact that they're so adamantly being like, this isn't Dark Souls, like, yeah, it's going to have combat, whatever, but it's like, when I watch gameplay, it makes me think, did you ever play, like, the Bushito Blade games on PS 1? Of course.
Starting point is 01:39:19 You have to break their block, and then you can get the killing blow. Securo is totally all the shit they've said. It's like, yeah, you have, like this poise meter, but then to kill everything, it's all about getting that killing blow, and you get that animation. And I'm like, oh. The animations are sick, man. Some of them are so good.
Starting point is 01:39:33 so like you break someone's block grab them by the throat and then stab them just past your face and then like fucking throw them to the floor and it's like yo this is I can't wait I just have the mobility of it just the idea that there's a grappling there's a grappling like I love grappling hook and your hand can turn it to an axe or a grappling hook and you can like throw
Starting point is 01:39:49 fucking stars to like stun people and like that's a game that I know is going to kick my ass but once you get good at it you're going to feel like I'm so excited yeah you can put a grappling hook in anything and I'm like definitely going to pay attention to it just because I feel like they're so they're weirdly underutilized they're more
Starting point is 01:40:03 utilized now for some reason that's been like finally grappling hucks yeah but like I remember there was a weird this was not a good game necessarily but there was a weird bionic commando reboot on the 360 on the 360 that had a multiplayer mode that was so actually ridiculously fun
Starting point is 01:40:19 that I couldn't believe it it was just spider man with guns and it was wild you could like latch on to people and like kick them in midair what uh it's so cool uncharted four multiplayer gives you that vibe because they have the grappling hook and it's so fun because you can shoot while you're doing it Doom Eternal's got the grappling. I think that's probably like, it's Securo and Doom Eternal for me. For me, it's the first,
Starting point is 01:40:39 Last of Us Part 2, whenever that. Yeah, whenever that's. That's it for me. It's Securo and Last of Us. For me, honestly, I hate to be that guy that sound ridiculous. I'm excited for secure, but two of the games I'm really excited for is I'm really excited for Animal Crossing. That's fine. I'm really, really, like that game just gives me a level of peace and accomplishment.
Starting point is 01:40:57 See, I've never played any of them, but I respect them. Like, I like them and I don't even play them. It's like Sims. It's like Sims, but like much more toned down and like, I'm just trying to build the city, man. I'm happy that those games exist. That's the best way. Like, it's not exactly something I want to go do. But anyone that talks about them, I like see a twinkle in their eyes that they're like.
Starting point is 01:41:17 That's my happy place. What's the other one? And in Metroid 4, whenever they finish it. Well, they, didn't they just recently restart it? Yeah. They said like, okay, we were fucking up. We're going to be honest with you. We're like restarting development.
Starting point is 01:41:29 I don't know. I don't know what's keeping. I don't know what's, I mean, like, I guess I do know. because like every AAA they've made so far they've made them like over the top grade like yeah Nintendo's like fucking coming out the gates with every game everything that Nintendo like puts their mark on
Starting point is 01:41:43 like even like the fire and boom games gonna come up that game's gonna probably be phenomenal so it's gonna be like out of this world really good for five like for a fire emblem game because you know Breath of the Wild was a great game honestly was fantastic smash is amazing so I feel like they're like they're very much so like they're very aware like everything they have to do
Starting point is 01:41:59 has to be great they can't afford to have another Wii period of time where like things are half that was rough that was a rough period it's like the we you if that needed to happen to get this cycle of games i'm very happy i can't even imagine what like the major's mask to breath of the wild is going to be like they can where they're going to take it be on breath of the wild that scares me it's like what what are they going to do what's this next game going to like they spent so much time on that game engine with like the physics and the chemistry shit they're like they have to just use that again yeah in a new game like what major's mask
Starting point is 01:42:29 it reminds me a lot of metal gear solid five honestly yeah the way they just, because the story is like really light. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay. There's a different kind of care that comes with letting something meaningful go, especially when it has a story attached to it. When you pass something on, you want to know it's being handled with respect. I took part in my first ever giant charity sale,
Starting point is 01:42:59 and I was able to auction several items from my book, personal closet on eBay. Some of them were truly one of a kind pieces connected to specific moments, TV sets, or from personal collections. One of the things I loved the most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. Sure, people who wanted a pair of my jeans could get them, but people who might be a different size than me could buy accessories. If you're a size eight, you're lucky, because that's my shoe size. They could do purses, jewelry, all sorts of things. Some people needed winterwear, some people wanted summer dresses. It wound up being so much fun.

But just the stuff that you can do in the world It's an actual sandbox. Yeah. That's why I love both those games. Like it's a sandbox, there's
Starting point is 01:44:26 builds, there's a way you can play play the game. The weapons are like actually different. Yeah. Like, it's so many things about that game is like, I remember the thing that
Starting point is 01:44:33 freaked me out. The first time I saw that game and I was like, okay, I'm definitely, I'm definitely going to want to play this is when he's, when you,
Starting point is 01:44:40 I can't remember where it was. It was either at E3 or something, but some player set the grass on fire and he used it to fly. Yeah, with like the wind. To this day, that's like my favorite thing too.
Starting point is 01:44:49 That is so genuinely cool. And I don't think I would have thought of that. Then you compare it into so many things that it's like, you jump off something, you shoot a fire arrow into the grass. It starts a fire. you do your wing thing you start aiming while in midair it goes in the slow mode
Starting point is 01:45:02 you shoot other stuff like it's yeah that game that game is a wet dream it is if someone who loves Zelda loves freedom it's perfect it's perfect but I think that's why they're that's why that's why Metroid's not ready yet because they're like how can we reinvent this shit like how can we how can we make Metroid again
Starting point is 01:45:18 but give them the same feeling out Odyssey you fell in the house when you had the cap you can possess people you can do anything you wanted to in that game they have to make an exceptional beyond belief good first person shooter which is not they already made three good primes and they're not just going to do
Starting point is 01:45:34 that again because then it's like why would they do it yeah I never thought of it that way that's totally probably why they're like so I'm just I'm I've always been a Nintendo fan but I'm very like I'm just very like you know what you guys do your thing take your time don't no rush for me they they yeah I would say gun to my head of like I used
Starting point is 01:45:51 to think that my favorite game devs were like Nintendo you know rock star naughty dog but after Red Dead too it's like really Nintendo and maybe Noddy Dog are the only ones that I'm like I'm playing every single game. You didn't you didn't like Red Dead 2 that much? I liked it, but I was super disappointed by a lot of aspects of it. Really?
Starting point is 01:46:10 Yeah, after playing Breath of the Wild and Algae Salt 5, Red Dead 2 just felt like a super. Yeah. It felt like it treated you just like a baby. And there were so many repetitive missions and cutscenes and it just, it said no to you so many times. Like Breath of the Wild, that's such a yes man game. I understand what you mean by that. When I saw your footage in that Red Dead video, Red Dead 2 video you did,
Starting point is 01:46:33 of you doing the stealth mission exactly the way I did it and failing for the same reason that I felt. I was like, okay. I understand. I understand. It's like if it was a linear game, the presentation, the story, some of the shooting sections, they're amazing.
Starting point is 01:46:45 Yeah. But as an open world game, it's like, Rockstar, you didn't learn anything from like the past five years of open world games. I understand what you mean. I appreciate the game for the stability and control of it. like the controls make sense.
Starting point is 01:47:01 I hated the controls. I love them. I love the controls. I love how, um, I didn't like how like you would, like they would aim for you. Like sometimes,
Starting point is 01:47:09 but you could turn that off. I know you can turn that off. But like that's, that was, that was like a part of the game. It was just like, I really like that much around that. I viewed,
Starting point is 01:47:15 I viewed, read it too I really liked a lot, even though I had a lot of issues with it. I think ultimately why I liked it a lot and probably why I didn't put it down was simply because I felt like it was It felt like more of a simulator. It felt like I was playing a cowboy Dungeons and Dragons more than I was playing like
Starting point is 01:47:33 Breath of the Wild or like an open world game. It felt more like, okay, I'm a cowboy now. You were kind of okay if the game took the wheel. Yeah, I just wanted to see what the fuck you were going to do. I like the story. And it's really well written. That's the saving grace of it. It's weird.
Starting point is 01:47:48 I like hate most stories and games. I couldn't give a shit. But that's like the one game that I saw it to the end just because I liked the story. Yeah. I went into it being like, oh, this is going to be like, a crazy new open world game and I was like oh no it's very similar to other rockstar games but the story is so much better yeah
Starting point is 01:48:03 I always I loved Arthur Arthur is like my favorite rock star character I love Arthur and I love John so much I truly truly love both those characters yeah their character arcs are super good it's surprisingly solid it feels like you know what it feels like it feels like a really it feels like a show yeah it feels like the entirety of a good show
Starting point is 01:48:21 that just a good point because like there are like mini arcs in there it's like oh they're at this camp but it felt like I've never thought of a game like that, but it's, it's padded out long enough that it is way similar. Like, people always say games are like movies, but a game of that length, it's totally like a season of a show. It was really, that game just made me feel stuff because like, the soundtrack made me feel stuff, too. Dude, they freaking snuck the Angelo in there.
Starting point is 01:48:44 They just snuck him in there. There's a lot to like about it, but like, yeah, that, that, the fact that it, it's an open world and it really, the second it brings you into a mission, it, like, really leads you by the hand and you can't really do anything. stealth, like, that stealth mission still pisses me off. No, there's so many examples. Is that the one you gotta,
Starting point is 01:49:01 where you gotta sneak into like that camp and you gotta, you gotta go into the office and confront that guy? Because how I did it, I was like, I climbed around, climbed the building. It's like, they're begging you to get on the roof.
Starting point is 01:49:11 There's like boxes perfectly there so you can climb up top. And like, even how it sloped to his room. It's like at some point they had it designed where you could and then they took it away. I think that's honestly what happened. That had to have been the case
Starting point is 01:49:22 because it's so obviously there. Yeah. God, it pisses me. Just thinking about it. What was that question? I think what's the excited for. We started talking about Red Day.
Starting point is 01:49:32 We see we're all very much so gamers so we have a very, very diverse set of opinions about I like that you immediately said secure though. Because that that's like... It's the most immediate and it's the coolest. That game, I'm so fucking... Like I'm in school and I'm really scared when that game comes out
Starting point is 01:49:46 because I'm gonna really... Yeah, I mean, I might still be out here when it comes out and I have my laptop because I just got like a new razored laptop because I don't have my desktop number. How do those perform? They're really good. They get really fucking loud when you're playing games so it doesn't overheat.
Starting point is 01:49:59 But I got basically the best, like, still slim 15-inch razor blade, I think it's what it called. I haven't in my backpack. I can show you guys. Oh, yeah. But like, Resonable 2, fucking, like, Titanfall 2, Apex, any game of them playing recently. The display on it has 144 hertz. And like Resonable 2, I can basically max out and still get a high frame rate. Have you been fucking around with Apex?
Starting point is 01:50:23 I played it on PS4 once. And I, on PC, I've played it like once. Yeah. Which I liked it. But in my free time, anytime I do a free time, I'm like, I just won't play Titanfall 2. No. Because there's people playing it again. I'm like soaking it up.
Starting point is 01:50:38 That's the worst thing about Apex, I think, is like, it's good, but it's like, this just reminds me how good Titanfall 2 is. Yeah. Never play Titan Fault 2. It's a really, you should play it, really. It's on there. It's on the Xbox out there. Seriously, one of my favorite, like, the campaign is actually so fucking. Do you have you played, I've played Doublema Cry 5 yet?
Starting point is 01:50:56 Mm-mm. dude that game is all is wily i've been playing i'm so stoked to see like that people are so stoked on that game because that series has been through so much that like yeah since three i've seen so many different opinions on like oh this is good this is bad but like almost everyone they almost gave up they almost gave up on the franchise actual just insane they're gonna not in a sense it's gonna make the DMC like that's the next like devil may cry like that happens a lot like companies will like i mean god of war was almost completely dead yeah
Starting point is 01:51:24 like after ascension came out that is that is a similar thing that's like let other people handle it and then like oh no shit we yeah well it was them that handle like they made god of war ascension oh they did yeah did they make there's one after ascension wasn't there no they were supposed to be so ascension was just them being like all right let's do the same shit again yeah this is add multiplayer i guess and then they were like we gotta go back to the drawing board and then we got god of war 2018 which i still i love it i still haven't beat it like i'm probably halfway through it it's not it's not sure it's not it's not sure it's not it's not it's not sure it's not it's not it's not it's not as long as Red Dead, but like, beefy. It's a beefy little game. That game was like, if I was, if I didn't have as much free time at that point, I would have never beat that game. Like, if I get only because of the, like, fact that I beat them before I was, had any other thing going on, the reason why I beat them.
Starting point is 01:52:11 Those games are so, so dense. There's so much moves and shit to remember, too, that every time I've taken weeks off, like, if I think about going back and playing it now, I'm like, it's daunting. I don't remember any of the controls and shit, and it's a hard game. It's not easy. It's not a. It's fun when you remember all the moves But when you don't and you're just like going against the enemy
Starting point is 01:52:29 That you're just like I don't know what the fuck I'm just getting fucked up Yeah Yeah When the combat works though it's so fucking good You feel like I'm absolute god Throw an axe, you catch it You do like the charge up R2 Where you just like cut someone in half
Starting point is 01:52:42 That's so good Okay So next one Chris Next one I'll do a general one From the general one I saw a lot of Which was a favorite video game OST Official soundtrack Which is I thought was a pretty hard one
Starting point is 01:52:54 I don't know if I can really OST Official soundtrack Dang I gotta think deep I'm gonna say bastion Just because it's so fucking weird Can we say like three
Starting point is 01:53:02 We can say three? I don't even know if I can filter it down a three First ones that come to mind That would be like Because I use them so much In my videos So they don't get You know taken down
Starting point is 01:53:10 Because like using video game music Seems to be fine Yeah Final Fantasy 7 Silent Hill 2 Um Probably I want to just say Zelda as a whole
Starting point is 01:53:22 I can't pick Because I love the ambient shit of breath the wild. I love O'Reilly of Time. You can pick as a whole. I think a lot of franchises have a pretty consistent. Yeah. As a whole, then I would just say like those three, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy. So as a whole, I would say, I love them and I'm going to be very truthful.
Starting point is 01:53:40 It's Mario. Mario's always teased like they're, the music from those games are great. And they're so different. Like Sunshine has that distinctive sound. Yeah. And Odyssey has like that weird jazz kind of jazz. Sunshine has like a lot of trumpet. right or it's not a trumpet it's uh
Starting point is 01:53:55 i think it's like it's like accordion accordion there you go sunshine was fucking hard oh yeah by the only 3d Mario i've never beaten because i just like i give up on it i can't beat it and a lot of the shines are dumb as hell too that it's like talk to this guy and then go here
Starting point is 01:54:13 and then do this it's like this is that one where you're on you're on like a thing and you have to like i remember one like water based thing that i like hated i don't remember specifically about it flood was like oh man you got to like the fucking, the fucking stingray or Manta ray, and you gotta use your flood to ink it out and they separate. And I'm like, what is?
Starting point is 01:54:30 Yeah. But that's one. What else? Another one I just love. TBH Pokemon from my nostalgia. But like the original, original Pokemon games, like back in the game.
Starting point is 01:54:41 Like with the shitty sound chip. Like red and blue and they bang. Everything that was on the original, like long, fucking square-ass, like cartridges. Those are the ones that have like... Silver, gold,
Starting point is 01:54:52 red, blue. still like those are like the ones i'm like i fuck with this heavily yeah the game boy had such a sweet sound chip it was so fucking sounds so sweet it's weird it was like objectively inferior but it made it sound really cool yeah i i love when like i see shit online of like soundtrack remastered and i'm like this sounds worse i liked it when it sounded dinky like and do another last one fucking uh megaman zero the megaman x soundtracks every song that came off of there was just like some fucking crazy ass cyber rock shit that I was like
Starting point is 01:55:25 this is this is nice yeah they fucked up they went hard on that yeah they were they were trying to blow that shit I don't know man I would I'd probably say oh halo's there the original donkey Kong oh the original donkey Kong on the Snacks Donkey Kong country
Starting point is 01:55:40 Donkey out country yeah Donkey country one and two are just like those soundtracks are fucking fantastic actually they're gorgeous like composition wise they're fucking the dark jungle themes like Every time you'd hear like a lot, every time the song with intro would be heavily drum, where would it be like a back and form of the drum that like the congos and snares,
Starting point is 01:55:59 every song like that would be something like ridiculous. No, they get like ominous. Yeah, they're really foreboding and like they got like a good sense of atmosphere on it, especially for the time. The water levels are straight up just like, I'm in a wet dream. They're so beautiful. This is moist. They're fucking good soundtracks.
Starting point is 01:56:15 Yeah, the original Donkey Yon Country, um, bastion by Super Giant Games has an incredible soundtrack that nobody. He plays a little orange guy, right? The little orange guy, it's like is asymmetric. It's like Western-y. It gets narrated. It gets narrated. It's got like, the tuning is in like Dadgad.
Starting point is 01:56:29 So it's got this weird like the guitar music and it's like synthy too. It's super cool. Like that studio makes, Darren Corb in general is like really good. Banjo Cazooey is pretty fantastic. Actually, like Grant Kirk Hope. Fucking all the rare stuff, dude. All the rare stuff. Even Gold Knight.
Starting point is 01:56:47 I love the music and Gold Nine. I love the music and Perfect Dark. Dude, not that I really think about it. There are some phenomenal. phenomenal fucking OSTU. Video game soundtracks are objectively better
Starting point is 01:56:55 than movies. This one might actually be the hardest question. Like thinking about like games. Because there's a lot of fantastic.
Starting point is 01:57:01 I started thinking about Metroid old music like the exploration of music doors Metroid. Fucking Red Dead too. Like I'm not crazy about the game
Starting point is 01:57:07 but I would buy the fuck out of that soundtrack. Like it's a great soundtrack too was amazing. Yeah. It's fucking wild. Well the variety of like because it's a western
Starting point is 01:57:14 that takes place in the south and there's like mountains. So you have like these horns and like spooky strings and stuff. Da-na-na-na- D-da-da-d-da. Yeah, that first song is... It's so good.
Starting point is 01:57:25 That's super good. And, like, the humming track in the beginning, when you're, like, transitioning from winter to spring, it's like... Dude, that's... So good. Yeah. I would be cheating if I said every... All the halos, but I would say... I'm going to say ODS, just because there's, like, a jazz...
Starting point is 01:57:40 Dude, ODS... It has a jazz soundtrack. I've actually never played ODST, but I've listened to the soundtrack, and I'm like... It's a beautiful soundtrack. ODST is a great game. It's a great soundtrack. Like, that soundtracktrack, like, that soundtracktrack, honestly is probably my favorite one. They got all
Starting point is 01:57:53 like fucking blade runnery and jazzy what are the thing? You're thinking about odyssees that you're going to a lot of places that were like human like areas. That's why I like had a lot of jazz I guess. I mean I get but like it's just it's weird because it's a sci-fi noir detective FPS where you're just listening to jazz. It's so cool. It's like such a weird like people don't really appreciate it really but like
Starting point is 01:58:13 that soundtrack I think everybody unanimously. It's on the MCC right? Yeah. I almost wonder now that it's coming to PC if I should just hold out a little longer and play it for the first time on PC. Just play it on PC. That would be come. That would be come. That would be come. That would be nothing just blatant scene. I would be coming. I'd come but buckets. Colin Nelson on Patreon. What up Colin. Collie. Callie. That's the same name as my co-host on Sacred Simples. Whoa, are you the same person? Do you believe Bethesda? No. Can make a game as great as
Starting point is 01:58:47 Skyrim again or are they past their best? and on the decline. Absolutely. It would take a lot. I think they could. I think they can, especially now that they really have to recover after 76. Okay. My thing is this.
Starting point is 01:58:59 I think they tried something that they didn't know how to do at all that no one really knows how to do. You want to know my theory? What? I don't think they made it. 76? No, I don't think they did either. I think a subsidiary company of Bethesda made it and they put their name on it to give it the kind of, to give it the oomph it needed. I don't believe for a second.
Starting point is 01:59:17 Like even I have issues with Fallout 4 and I have issues with. Skyrim honestly. Like I love Skyrim. They're both super flawed. But they're very flawed. Not just the glitches and shit, just inherently like game design. But even at I just, I look at Fall 76 and I was like even that
Starting point is 01:59:33 even the level of incompetence that I'm used to. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay. When I was living in Chicago, I took part in my first ever
Starting point is 01:59:49 giant charity sale, and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. They were items that marked huge moments in my life and in my career, and though I was ready to pass them along, I also wanted to make sure they were going to someone who would love them. One of the things I loved the most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. It wound up being so much fun to see where each and every item was going, where it was going to be loved. And in passing items along like that, authenticity really matters to the person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee. They weren't just listing my items.
Starting point is 02:00:31 They were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely from where it claimed to be, in this case, my closet.

Starting point is 02:01:15 Take delivery by 331. Couldn't have been. That doesn't have been enough. doesn't feel like a Bethesda fuck up. It does kind of, but there's a lot there that's like, what? No, if it is, that's seriously one of the most, like, shocking turns in history. Either way, though, Todd fucking said, like, you put his name on it. Yeah, he did.
Starting point is 02:01:35 They fucked up either way, but I'm with you. I think that it was, like, some weird small team that, like, oh, we can make money off that. But their commitment to that engine worries me. I don't know why they're so committed to the creation engine because it's so obviously outdated. It was outdated. when Fallout 4 came out. Like when Fallout 4 came out, I remember playing it.
Starting point is 02:01:53 I was like, this is a fun little adventure, you know? It runs like shit. But even when it came out, I remember this looks dated. Like when it was new, it looked old. It feels,
Starting point is 02:02:02 that's the biggest thing for me. It's like visuals, whatever, you know, it's colorful. Even the visuals, I could get past that, but how it feels, especially on PC
Starting point is 02:02:11 that like you cannot get a consistent frame rate and it has the frame pacing, stuttering, and like just switching between guns feels exactly. how switching between weapons and Skyrim feels that like you never feel like you're in full control like you play like Titanfall and it's like responsive this like it's source engine whatever Fallout it's like you're not shooting bullets it's like the bullets are spells that are flying out
Starting point is 02:02:33 of your gun like it doesn't yeah it does feel like a real gun like it just I understand you mean with that yeah yeah you played a lot of fallout four I mean I did too I didn't too it's a good time it would still was a Bethesda thing like they had new shit to show you I liked it more than most people, I think, because I kind of almost, they did a better job at making it feel like an FPS than they did in, like, Fall Out 3 and, like, Fall of New Vegas. Fall of New Vegas was a pretty good improvement
Starting point is 02:02:58 too. It was very shoody. It was very shoo- It felt more like a shoot-so to me, it was like, oh, look at this very detailed first-person shooter as opposed to look at this mediocre RPG. So I think I kind of, like, maybe liked it a little more back then. But, yeah, I mean, it's a dated, I think they could,
Starting point is 02:03:14 I mean, I know. Obviously, like, think about all the developers that have made ridiculous comeback. Like Capcom has been in the shitter for a long time And now they're just putting out bangers after bangers Like Resident Evil 2 came out of nowhere A remake that I thought was like Okay, they're remaking a game Okay, fine, it's a remake
Starting point is 02:03:29 They made arguably like the best combination of everything Resident Evil Yeah Like it has the old school fans pleased It's visually stunning It's over the shoulder like Resident Evil That's like the smash ultimate of Resident Evil Yeah as far as like survival horror games go
Starting point is 02:03:44 It's probably the best Resident Evil Yeah and they're gonna remake Well, the two remakes specifically. Because it's just so well done. The sound design is incredible. Oh, the remake on GameCube that they've remastered. That, I think, is like the best horror game ever. Oh, the original one?
Starting point is 02:04:01 I haven't played the remake. Because it came out on PS1, and then they remade it for GameCube. And then they did it HD. And even the GameCube version, I think, is like one of the most visually stunning games. Like the fixed camera angles and the pre-rendered backgrounds in HD. Like, that
Starting point is 02:04:16 game's amazing. I don't know. I never played the remake. I played the original Resident Evil. Like, PS1? Yeah. Yeah. Game. The GameCube one, like, just, there's a reason they took another crack at it. It's so fucking... The first one's pretty... It's got charm. It's got charm.
Starting point is 02:04:34 I'll put it that way. That's about all it's got. But it's got charm. But yeah, man. I mean, developers can always make comebacks. Like, obviously, Santa Monica put out God of War Ascension and then came out with, like, probably one of the best story-based games in the last 10 years. So I seriously think that 76 might be a blessing in disguise.
Starting point is 02:04:50 I think so too. Especially now they need to fix their fucking shit. I think 76 was like, it was the idea of like you're gonna miss sometimes but you take another shot at it because they're gonna, I think, because they're making Elder Scroll 6, right? That's the one that's being in development.
Starting point is 02:05:05 No, no, they're making Starfield first. Starfield is coming before Elder Scroll 6. I really want Elder Scroll 6. I just, I need that game. It's a weird move on their part. It is bizarre. It's like a whole other franchise. I still do.
Starting point is 02:05:18 Don't fucking not, I don't know, I guess not letting them off in a sense because like, yeah, you take a shot, you miss. That's one thing. Like everyone fuck up. But to like fuck up and have a bunch of awful pre-order shit that you're scamming people. Yeah, that whole thing was ridiculous. And like, there's too many things to be like, oh, you just, you made a kind of bad game. Like, no, it's beyond bad game. It's like, you made a bad decision.
Starting point is 02:05:44 Like no one trusts you now. That's poor management. Like, Fallout 76 damaged their reputation to a point where, like, they really got to kick it in high. No, like, people are reexamining their older games because 76 was so bad. It's crazy to think that. Because, like, I love, I love, I love... I played Skyrim for the first time, maybe two years. It was I didn't play it priorly, and I fell in love with that game.
Starting point is 02:06:02 Oh, I have it on my switch. It's a solid game. It's a solid video game. You can get lost in that game. It was something new. Yeah. Yeah, like, Skyrim was like Dunners and Dragons, but a game. And I was like, this is fucking night.
Starting point is 02:06:12 At the time, especially in 2011, when it came out, it was something wild. No, it was like it, that was their first game that like blew up, blue. Yeah. Like people that didn't play RPGs, like, bros in my high school were like talking about Skyrim. That was, it was that much of a deal. It was like, it was like the Halo 3 talk, I remember. Like, everybody was talking about Skyrim. Like, that was my first year in college and everybody in, in my college was talking about it.
Starting point is 02:06:36 And I was like, what alternate realities? It just, it had that thing. Yeah, about it. And back then, or at the time, you didn't see expansive games like that done. to that degree. But now, you know, with the Witcher and like cyberpunk, looking incredible. We didn't talk about that and with games we're excited about just because it seems so far out still, but that's like... When does I talk about 2019? We don't know. We don't know. I didn't
Starting point is 02:06:58 like the Witcher. I didn't like how that animations feel. It's not my type of setting. I didn't like... Cyberpunk has... I like my dick, so... I like Witcher a lot. I don't like the controls of Witcher, but I when you look at Witcher, you can tell. Like, I can tell that that's a good game. I can't play it. Like, there's like a disconnect for me with the controls. I can't do it. I love watching people play it, though. For me, Witcher was the thing is that I, the biggest problem for me was like how fast. Because like, it's weird.
Starting point is 02:07:25 Like, Gerald is a very human in stature, but his movement and how quick he'd move sometimes would be way like off director. It feels like, like, why are you so quick? Like, it's, it does feel a bit. Like you're pulling someone and it's moving. It does feel a bit marionetti. Yeah, like he's a dog, like, leading away from you. But that's, but you look at that game in it. It looks gorgeous even still.
Starting point is 02:07:47 But you go back to Skyrimand, it looks hideous. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like the attention to detail in the writing, even in the side quest and everything, like, seeing that amount of work in a game, like, cyberpunk, the gameplay and setting-wise, I am, like, totally jerked off about. Cyberpunk could potentially be, like, dream game status. It could be a top-tier game.
Starting point is 02:08:06 It could be, like, a memory. I love how hyped people are. Like, all these years going by is just going to generate the hype to, like, a crazy point. Yeah. That's definitely something to look at. It's the top-tier game potential right there. But was the question originally, like, do you think Bethesda could make a good game?
Starting point is 02:08:22 Do you think they can turn it around after? Wait, what was the question? Do you believe Bethesda can still make a great, can make a game as great as Skyrim again, or are they past their best or not? I think they can. I don't know if they will. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:32 Yeah. Short answer, though, I think they totally can. Yeah. They really fucked up with. I think they can because everybody, all these studios can. I don't believe any, like, there's this weird idea that, like,
Starting point is 02:08:42 once a studio makes, even bioware. Like who is like really down right now with Anthem coming out and like being like a colossal disappointment. I'm so positive that provided that EA allows them to survive because EA is kind of like this weird grim reaper figure. Yeah. Provided that they're allowed to survive. I think absolutely 100% we're going to get a buyerware game in the future that's going to be fantastic. I think it's like a leadership thing or something.
Starting point is 02:09:08 Yeah. This idea of disconnect. Like what happens when like when there's under under, like when there's expression and people understand there's disconnect, they try. harder to connect. I mean, think about respawn, too. Like, they made the original team behind like the original Modern Warfares left. And then they made Titanfall, which was fine. The original Titanfall was entirely fine. It had a lot of cool ideas,
Starting point is 02:09:25 but it was clearly like a first crack out. And then Titanfall 2 comes out, and it's one of the best first person shooters that's come out, period. Like in general. It got screwed by EA on the launch, which is like heartbreaking, but that game, anyone that's like given it the time of day just is so stoked to talk about.
Starting point is 02:09:42 You never played it, dude. You have to, man. Like, seriously, it's worth it. It's short too. It's not like a huge... The campaign is not like this crazy time sync or anything. It's like so manageable. It's such a short game. And it's a perfect tutorial on everything in the game.
Starting point is 02:09:56 Yeah. Like it teaches you how to play all the Titans. It teaches you like the different movement stuff. And the movement options get crazy. And the level... Yeah. Like you can bunny hop around the maps and like wall run into like... The second you jump off a wall is when you get the most speed.
Starting point is 02:10:09 And then the second you jump out of a slide is when... So like if you're good with your timing, you can like crouch, slide, wall jump, slide. like just get around a map in like two seconds. The level design of the campaign too like sticks out to me so specifically. There's this one level where you're, you're running through this factory that's building pre-made houses
Starting point is 02:10:27 or like pre-made like buildings and it's like you're just running through this factory on like upside down ceiling. It's wild. And it almost gives you like portal vibes of the movement. It feels like portal too. It's a puzzle in it.
Starting point is 02:10:40 That's pretty cool. Which actually makes sense because it was on the source engine. Yeah. No, play it. For sure. I'm giving it a world. the message. Preferably on PC, but on console,
Starting point is 02:10:48 I'm sure it's good too. But I always... It's actually one of the best FPSs on console also. I play it on both. Because it's made by the fucking response. So, of course, like, they know what they're doing.
Starting point is 02:10:56 No, but here's the thing that I noticed. On Titanfall 2, on the console version, there is an FOV slider, which is beautiful. And that should be in everything. I don't know why people aren't doing that. If they,
Starting point is 02:11:08 if it's obviously proven that response proven that they can do it, put an FOV slider in your FPS. Yeah, that's too much. It helps. I get fucking sick if it's too restrictive. Yeah. The only games that I can play with low FOV are the ones that I've grown up playing that I'm just like used to.
Starting point is 02:11:22 Instinctively. Yeah. Like you boot a Palo 2 and you're like, that's Halo 2. Yeah. You boot a Palo 3 and it's like, oh man, this is, ooh boy, but I can do it. But I play Battlefield 1 on a console and I'm like, it's horrible. And then I played on PC and I'm like, oh, this game rolls. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:36 But the message of, I guess the takeaway, the message of this podcast is, FOV sliders are good, play Titanfall 2. And video games are great. View games are great. no matter how much they suck sometimes. Yeah. Think of it like this, guys. For a long period of time,
Starting point is 02:11:50 Nintendo had the Wii you out. And now look, the Switch is the shit. The Wii, really. The Wii was also kind of lame. The Wii was lame as shit, but it was sold a lot. It was sold a lot because it was super cheap. That's really fucking good. That's true. Galaxy was pretty good.
Starting point is 02:12:04 That would be my own. Galaxy was great. I love that game. Video games. It's like YouTube channels that there's such a huge sea of bullshit. But like find the really good little diamonds. Some little... Cherish the shit out.
Starting point is 02:12:16 Little nugs out there that are worth, you know, smart it up. They're little Titanfall twos of, you know, the channels. They're good. They rot. Eat them up. Hell yeah.
