Hey, everybody, welcome to the Snark Tank podcast episode seven. I'm Chris Raygun. Hey, I'm Tom Sweeney. You now be here talking to you like this.

Please don't. The whole episode. Okay. Yeah, I was going, guys. Some black guy here. And you ever see that episode of that news guy where like a fucking dragonfly or something goes in his mouth? and it looks complete composure. You go country as fuck.

Don't do that. Don't do that. Are you trying to like do Joe from family guys? What are you talking about, Chris? That is so terrible. That kind of doesn't sound like Joe. You're not even that good way. I can do it a little better.

One sec. I don't, nobody wants to hear that. People will. They're going to love it. Hey, Peter. Sorry, Chris. Didn't mean offend you. That's pretty close.

Yeah, it's not bad. You can still tell it's me, though. But hey, I'm Tom Swini. ago was propping. It was popping. It was popping. I hated every single part of that. So there's a lot of this is obviously a shoot the shit kind of podcast, but there are some things that have happened super recently that I think kind of need to be addressed. Like some of them happen this fucking morning. Yeah. I, this is definitely a comedy podcast, so I don't want to bring people too far down. Yeah. But I feel like it would be weird if we didn't acknowledge the fact that fucking Kobe Bryant

is just straight up dead. Yeah. As of recording. this, Kobe Bryant died this morning. Yeah. And that is jarring because I was a basketball player and I aspired to that man. So, yeah. Fuck. Yeah. Really sad.

He was one of the greatest players of all time. But the irony that comes from it is the fact that I'm pretty sure, like last night, LeBron James surpassed him in all-time scoring, making him number three. I think he's number three. I think he's three. And Kobe's number four, which is just. weird coincidental what a weird coincidence like yeah

it feels extra distra do you think do you think uh LeBron feels super weird about that night of course that must be that was one of his best friends he looked up to LeBron that's so fucked up to him the last the last

tweet that Kobe Bryant put out was addressed to Lambron James about like you know encouraging him yeah and that was the last tweet he put out so LeBron is probably like uh whoa what the fuck just happened here. That shit's unsettling, man.

Dude, that shit. I didn't believe it at first because, you know, I stopped to get donuts and then I looked at my phone, which is what everybody does when they're waiting for something. And I see Josh Peck from Drake and Josh putting a picture of Kobe

and I'm like, oh, I wonder what Kobe did. He must have did something cool. Like he usually does. And then it says like, oh, he was a legend, this and this and that. The Dead speak. And I was like, fuck. I know, Josh is like You know he's an idiot and how he jokes around

But he's too big to be fucking around Like I with something like this and I couldn't believe it It was the weirdest thing Yeah you He wouldn't be the one to be like Ha ha ha lady Gaga's dead L-O-L Yeah

And then just make it up And then have that whole rumor traced back to him That'd be like a nightmare Yeah that's just not good for you know Your brand Yeah Or just being a person Being a decent person

Oh yeah the person thing too Forget about that But yeah so I don't know man I I wasn't really a basketball person, but obviously I knew who Kobe Bryant was. I think everybody kind of did. Yeah. So I just felt like it would be kind of weird if we didn't, at least in some way, acknowledge that.

So thoughts and prayers or whatever the fuck people want to say for his family, because that's fucked. And, yeah. On a lighter note, it looks like the fire tornadoes in Australia aren't the only omen of the end times because there's a brand new contagious disease that was discovered in the city of Wool. Wuhan, Wuhan, Wuhan, China this past week. And is now serviced in Orange County, California. The disease is dubbed coronavirus likely due to how gross and sickly corona tastes. Yeah, probably. It has a current death toll of 56 so far.

And many people think this is the next pandemic. I don't know if I really... I don't. It's not. No, dude, they're already quarantining that city. They were way too late, by the way. They're quarantined. It's like, first of all, You can get killed by like regular disinfectants.

Like the virus is in somewhere. You can just wipe down a place with like lysol and it'll die. And then secondly, you can just go to the doctor and they'll be like, oh, you probably have this. Drink fluid. Stay rested. Like it's not going to, it's, it will kill you if it's too late. Like if you like start vibrating like a fucking dildo, then it's like, all right, it's too late. I'm past the threshold.

They're going to have to throw me in a fucking vat of ass. Is that what they do? Is that what it does? Does it make you shake? You start shaking, like violently. You start shaking like an anime protagonist and he's about to get a power up. Oh,

like it's shaking like Michael J. Fox. What are the symptoms? I heard it was just like flu-like stuff. Yeah. Yeah, because it is the mutation of the influenza virus. They got it from eating bats, dude. Dude, what are you doing eating bats?

This is also not the first time. It's surface. It's the third time. Bro, everything comes from there, first of all. Swine flu. Yeah. From bats? Not bats.

I'm just saying it was, I think it was like birds fucking pigs or something. Something happened. It's not literally that. It's just there was birds and a pig. That's called swine flu. Yeah, yeah. But something like that happened. I think it was pigs eating something or whatever.

Then they got all fucked up. And then they just don't. There's too many people over there. And so everything's disgusting. So everything is always flu-ridden and shit. And these are in concentrated areas. You know what I'm saying? Where there's places were.

I think even Chinese people over there would agree like, I don't go over there because it's really fucked up. You know, and that's why things keep breaking out. And, yeah, no one checks them. Nobody checks China. They just do what they do. Well, I mean, like, how do you, they're not going to listen. They don't even have access to the Internet outside.

Like, if Greta Thunberg was talking to China, they would have no idea because they're not allowed to see what the rest of the world says. That's a good point. They probably don't know. They're so shelled off from everywhere else. It's magnificent. I think it's just Hong Kong, right, that has, like, access to the rest of the Internet. It was independent, right? for a while, Hong Kong, or was it actually part of China the whole time?

I don't know. That's going into history that I don't, I am not educated on. I think you're right about that, but... Now they're not trying to let that happen, because, you know, things got a little gnarly over there at the end of the year, but... I don't know, man. When I first heard about this, I was like, I was kind of excited. I'm not going to lie. Because I thought, like, when you see something about, like, they quarantine the city, that's, like, kind of vaguely exciting. I don't know, because it reminds me of, like, Resident Evil or something. It's like, ah, it's finally happening. It's finally over. Like, Australia's on fire. There's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's,

a disease that's being quarantined in a city It's the end time So it's like, yeah It's like the plagues and that Moses shit Where you just started throwing all these things out of your You have fucking, you have Locusts Papa John

That's like that foretold the day of reckoning will come And then you had pizza Like the CFO of Pizza Hut or something Dominoes he died snorkeling How does that happen? How does that happen? Yo he said the freaking He said what was the way The day of reckoning will come.

And his face moves such, such small amounts. And I was like, this guy is the fucking harbinger of doom. He's, that's a fucking, he's the fucking Harold of Galactus, I'm sure of it. He definitely gives off a very threatening aura. Like, don't touch me. Like, Papa John is not somebody that I would trifle with. Absolutely not. And that's why I feel like, I mean, what's happening is no coincidence.

Australia is, like, has never been on fire this much in our lifetimes. Ever. They always have... I think literally ever. This is probably, without a doubt, the biggest fire that has ever happened. I'm pretty sure. In recorded history.

Ever? In recorded history? Absolutely. Probably. It is, like, pretty much all of Australia on fire. I know people over there who have been, like, evacuated and shit. It's getting, it's crazy out there.

And the fire is so hot and so persistent and so widespread that it's jettisoned. It jettisons the smoke through the atmosphere. and it's like hanging around in layers of the atmosphere that it shouldn't be. And it's making these like dry thunderstorms with red lightning that ignite more fires.

That looks like a doom level. It looks like a fucking level in doom. It looks like it's insane. It looks like the picture you jump in to go fight Bowser and Mars before. Yeah. Something like that. There's like rotating pillars of fireballs.

It's fucking crazy over there. I'm telling you, look it. I'm not normally a conspiracy there is right. Are you not? Are you? Really? I'm normally not, you know, but... Papa John. I mean, come on, dude. He might be the, he might be the bringing.

He did. He did say the day of reckoning was coming, and then all of a sudden, everything went to shit. Weird shit is happening. Because we fucked with him because there's pizza. We would have been fine if we didn't overstep and mess with this man's pizza. Dude, he was happy where he was. But now he's like, I have to, the world has to pay because they didn't have my back. The world did not avenge me.

Now I will destroy the world. You think the CEO of Pizza Hut's like always constantly looking over his shoulders? Yeah, probably because you fuck with the fucking strongest creature on the planet. He's in like one of those like addicts that, you know, those lock, what do you call it? A panic room right now. Just like, just a way just, I know he's coming. Like, I'm not going to let him get me. Papa John has been wearing the same clothes for decades now.

Like in the commercials, like in that interview that he gave, he's wearing the same fucking clothes that he's wearing in all of the commercials that he's ever been in. still crispy clean. He's a fucking cartoon character. Crispy cream, dog. He's literally, yo, his power is immeasurable. I watch his videos and I feel like I'm being dominated. It's terrifying. It really is just like the most threatening part. 35 feet, wait, he's like 55 pizzas, 30 days. Stay tuned. And it's like, it's like, I ate 40 pizzas and 30 days or something.

Yeah, 40 pieces and 30. And then on New Year's, he said he's going to do 50 and 30 days. By the way, that is an insane amount of pizza. Yeah, and look at him. What is he talking about, like, slices? Because that's not that. It has to be slices. It has to be slices. Because if he means, like, pies, if he means a pot, like 40 pies in 30 days.

That's impossible. I think it's possible. I think you're doubting Papa John's power. I'm sorry, sorry. If you hear this, Papa John, don't come here and smite me. I don't need this, all right. I think, see, I will all glory to Papa. Like, I will, I will concede to anything he says because I don't want to be destroyed.

I do not want to be vaporized. I feel like... I don't want to die smoking in my bathtub. Keeping a close eye on him. Because even if I ate 30 slices of pizza or 40 slices of pizza in 30 days, I would gain like 30, 40 fucking pounds easily. And so even if it is slices, why does he still look the same? I mean, his face is mutated, obviously.

But his body, something's going on here, man. I really think he is. an ascended being and he is omnipresent he's everywhere maybe he's like an android or something maybe he has like components I think he's a creature that got stuck here

and decided to make a living and then we angered him and now he's just once he wants damage yeah he wants damage to be done to our planet I don't know man he he's just scary and the fact that all this stuff is is happening you know I think I think Derek's right I think he I think he's definitely

suspect number one number one. We just need to get him back into the Papa John's position and then all order will be restored. That's all we got to do. We got to do something about that. If this flu thing breaks out anymore like if it gets past China which it could because there's always

some idiots that are like coughing and they're all I'm fine, I'm going to go back home. It's already past China. Yeah, it's in L.A. I'm pretty sure if I'm not mistaken. Wait, there's some people in L.A. getting sick off that shit. It's in Orange County. I think it's in L.A. too. Like, actually. That's what Orange County is L. No, no, Orange County.

LA counties, LA County. Yeah. Yeah, Orange County is where I grew up. Right, right. Yeah, it might be here. If you guys start feeling like sick, you know, just like go check out the doctor, especially now because it's probably a plague happening so you don't go to the people sick. You know, don't be fucking dickheads.

This is why I'm glad I don't do anything. Like people, you know, just don't be fucking assholes. Can you catch it on PVP? In Destiny? In Destiny? Fuck. That game is so toxic, maybe you could fucking catch it. It just weakens your immune system and then you're susceptible.

to online transmutations of fucking coronavirus. That's next level shit. That is next level shit. Oh my goodness. Like a fucking spyware of people, but in fucking people. We've got some write-ins from our wonderful supporters. Thank you guys.

Patreon.com slash the snark tank. Travis Powell wrote in, Hey there, big black, medium black, and only bones held together through sorcery. Oh, fuck. Damn, dude. I heard him. I can see him in his thing.

I got them. If I had tear ducks anymore, I would definitely be using them. If you could augment only one part of your body with cybernetics, what would you choose? Have a scientastic day. Knees. Neas? Yes. Just your knees.

I would jump up places and knee things. I would jump off fucking buildings. Why wouldn't you just choose your whole leg? No. Why? I want strong knees. But you want a weak biological leg? I want regular legs, but I want knees.

I want every... All the force that comes contact with my knee to stop or be absorbed into my knee. So I could do super knees. I would 100% get rid of both my legs. I would have cybernetic legs. Cubs are fucking dope. Or a spine. See, if I was going to be practical, it would be like cyber neck legs or something,

especially since I just hurt my Achilles. And it's like the, it's the stupidest thing ever. You never notice anything until you heard it. And then you're like, oh, moving it up and down is agony. But instead of being. practical and logical I've always wanted to be Jacks for Mortal Kombat

Oh of course So I want fucking cybernetic arms And so I can just punch people's heads off You know, for no other reason of just You know, then you can't stop me You're gonna try to You can't stop me That's such a powerful statement

That as a child I would say it all the time But now I understand what that means And you're so stoppable as a child too You can't stop me But that's actually, it actually kind of goes into another question. James Passmore actually wrote in, would you rather lose both legs or one arm?

The rules are you can't pick one arm. It's a 50-50 chance. And the legs are cut halfway through the thigh. Lieutenant Dan style. Oh, fuck. You also don't feel the pain of it going away, so you just only get the results. 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 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. 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.

Yeah. You don't know which one, but it's just one arm. I'm losing my legs. I can write. I can write. You would lose your leg. Yeah. Because we had, this is under the presumption that there are cybernetic limbs available.

Oh, no, it's not. Which there are always. This is a different. This is a separate question. This is like. a different verse. Here's the problem. Here's the problem. I lose both my legs. My life changes a little bit. A lot of bit. A little bit. A lot of bit. I sit and I edit. That is my life. That is my existence. You can't walk anymore. You know how fucking sad you're going to be as soon as you realize you can't.

You know how sad I'm going to be when I realize I can't write, edit, play music, or play video games? That's very true. Bitch, bitch. I would rather not walk. No, no, no. You're only losing one arm. Dude, fucking death leopard. The drummer. He fucking plays the drums with. one arm. Derek. You see how insane that sounds? Derek, I don't switch to mouse and keyboard controls because I got so good with controller.

If I lose my arm, that's it. I'm just not going to, I'm not going to learn how to play again with one arm and my fucking feet. You can't do that. You say, okay, so, but then you're going to, but then with not having legs, you're going to have to alter everything in your home. Everything's got to be handicapped now. You're always going to be in a fucking wheelchair.

Sheating is going to be a nightmare. Showering is going to be a nightmare. fucking going anywhere is going to be a fucking nightmare You're going to have to run on little stumps Okay first of all You're going to be a fucking first of all Showering is going to be way easier Way less of me to quit

Bitch Second of all No Yo no This is a one story We're on the first floor of this place Chris you're still going to have to get inside it bitch Up the steps

No one's going to be helping you You're going to be fucking solo You know one of the little automated ones It's going to get stuck on shit I'll work out I'll get strong ass arms I'll walk I'll walk in like

Charles exactly Xavier are going to have fucking strong arms in that fucking wheelchair. Might as well go fucking ball too. We become a fucking adult cayew. We're going to be in a fucking chair. You think I'm going to get a wheelchair? I'm not going to get a wheelchair. Just put stumpsy.

I'm going to walk around on my hands like God intended. Like God intended if you lose your arms. All I'm saying is that I'd rather lose one of my arms because like I just don't want to lose my legs, you know. Dude, your entire line. And if I lose my leg, I could replace my legs with crazy legs. and I'd be taller Check that out I didn't think about that life hack

He's very detached What year do you think this is? It doesn't have to be a year I could make that shit I could strap my guitars To the rest of my legs Just walk around on my guitars Except you can't fucking bend

And you're not gonna feel comfortable You know what dude I'll just ask people to bend for me Can you bend me Would you mind bending me over please I can't lose my hands My hand The thing is like a leg is so much easier

So much easier to replace You got a fucking arm. That is very true, but losing your legs detriment's existence as a human being. Our legs are so integral for us being around. Like, you don't know, like, I just mentioned how I fucked up my Achilles. You don't realize, like, I couldn't sleep because I didn't realize how much I, like, I move. And then you realize how much you move when the pain sets in. Couldn't hurt your Achilles, Derek, if you didn't have legs.

That's not my fucking point, asshole. It's your greatest weakness is literally your Achilles heel. If your Achilles' heel isn't even there, you're the strongest person on the face of the earth. No, your greatest weakness is your eyes. Well, your greatest weakness is technically your brain. No, your eyes. But, no, it's not your eyes. Your brain is concealed by thick skull.

Your eyes are just out there. You'd be surprised at how thin a skull can be. I mean, they're pretty thick. Canon. The skulls must be really strong. Canonically. This part is real powerful. I thought people can headpipe things.

Yeah, it's true, but, I mean. You're not supposed to headbutt up. fuck someone's head up like if you just get a hammer to skull equals skull go crack like an egg you know it's also it's like a double-edged sword though because a lot of times people get brain damage from their fucking brain slamming against their skull fucking sturdy ass skull so you're gonna have a weak skull like a baby like a baby why aren't we designed to like have so like a fucking helmet type type of skull but then inside is a nice fucking cushion well that's why that's the point that's why the helmet is there it's so delicate we have a strong skull no what i mean is no i don't

I don't think, did I, did I say that wrong? I'm saying, because you know how it is right now? We have the skull, and then our brains are just swimming around and fucking fat juices to just slam around against our skull. But what I'm saying is inside, inside, inside, is a nice fluffy padding. So it doesn't fuck with us when, you know, we don't get head trauma. Like, why aren't we designed like that? This let's, this right here lets me know that we're flawed. We aren't intelligently designed because we have some of the most retarded like that.

That and also that. Heart attacks? That same tube when you want to fucking eat and drink and breathe and all it's all down the same tube so it's so easy to choke. It's really bad design. That's retarded. We also can barely see in the dark, which is like ridiculous. Most animals can see in the dark, particularly a lot of mammals.

Oh, yeah. Carnivorous. No. Shut up. You can't even see it all. We're talking about it. Exactly. That's what makes it so shocking.

So the dark is the same shit. I'm just still blind. I've gotten used to it. Oh, that's a good point. That's a good point. Honestly, I have horrible eyes. Like, I'm partially colorblind. I have fucking, I'm sure I have fucking jaundice maybe.

I just, everything's wrong with my eyes and I've just been fine for so long. I was dealt with the fact that my eyes are broken. You're going to get glasses one day and you're going to be like, what the fuck? Because you're going to realize what things look like. Yeah. I've had friends do that and it pisses me off. One of my home girls, she no glasses until like, I think a year ago or two years. And she was like, oh my God, everything's so clear.

And I'm like, yeah, that's literally what they're designed for. That's the whole point. Why would you say that? You know what, guys? I think I'm fine. Where am I? Oh, my God. You're going to get fucking cancer and AIDS and everything.

When you're fucking jaws falling off, I'm going to be like, I'm fine. It's totally fine. My jaw is going to hold it up all the time. You get my hand under my jaw. You're like a fucking rubber band. A rubber band in my hair. They have rubber band on your head. My jaw's falling off, but I'll be all right.

I'll feel. Honestly, that is kind of like the attitude that I feel like most guys have about, like, getting sick or anything. It's like, I'll just walk it off. Well, I know. definitely that's how I feel about most things. Like if I, if I feel like I'm going to die, I'll probably just lay down until I don't feel like that anymore. Yeah, when I feel really bad, I kind of just lay down. I agree with that too, actually. I actually

just brought that up last night too, when some people are telling me to go to the the doctors or whatever, make sure your your heel isn't too messed up. Make sure it's, make sure it heals correctly. And I'm like, you know, it's, I'm going to give it a few days that the pain, that the pain subsides awesome. If it doesn't, maybe. I'll go to the doctor. Dude, when I ate, when I ate, like, I got super high and ate, like, a ridiculous amount of food, like, way more than I can very clearly handle. Yeah.

And, like, my stomach was killing me for, like, two days. And I was like, okay, I guess I'll go. I guess I'll go. Like, it took me, like, it took me two days of constant, like, non-sleep-awayable pain to decide, like, okay, I'll go. You were, like, you felt messed up for, like, two days. Dude, man, I straight up stretched my stomach. I don't eat that much.

Like, I don't. Because I'm just not that hungry. I think it's just my metabolism is super fast. And my appetite's, like, super low. I don't particularly like eating, really, as an activity. Yeah. It's kind of tedious. And, like...

That's pretty fortunate, man. Yeah. But it's... Yeah, but it's... Yeah, except, like, I got, like, super high. And then... I think I told the story on the podcast already. Maybe.

I can't even remember. Oh, my God, what the hell did I have? I had five guys twice. And then I had a fucking crunch rap Supreme and two casadias. and a bowl of cereal in like an hour and a half. And it was just... Yeah, I don't even think I can eat all that.

It's a ridiculous amount of food. And I put it away and I was like, I'm feeling good. And then I went to sleep and then I woke up in the most insane pain I've ever felt. You probably, like, not even stretch. You probably slightly tore your stomach.

Dude, that's what I thought. I was like, yo, my stomach's going to explode. Honestly, whenever I feel real pain, I had to sleep it off. Even if it's, like, really bad, I felt like such bad pain before it. I'm like, I'm just going to go to bed. That's it. Like, when I'm pretty sure I'm just located in my...

arm I was like I'll be fine I'm just gonna go to bed and I slept on it so slowly we'll go back in a place I just I slept though I was like I'll be I'll be all right and I'd wake up in that middle night from the pain I'm like oh oh okay me go back on it real gentle like I've never I've never like I've only dislocated there I've never broken anything another well twice I've messed up my wrist once I was in seventh grade and those razor scooters just came out so I was going as fast as humanly possible down a hill and then I saw a giant crack in the cement that it was unavoidable. So you see ahead of time, like, oh, I'm going to eat

shit. That's the worst. Not just like getting caught off guard, but when you actually When you're prepped for it and you still eat. You're like, oh man, what am I going to do? So, of course, I try to brace my fall and then my wrist and then so then I try to ride home with one hand, which was kind of probably look really pathetic. Like a

injured puppy. Injured adult scootering home with one hand. That is definitely a sad sight. One hand flailing in the wind like a fucking inflatable arm man. A wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube, man. Just fucking...

Yeah. And then I did something way stupider. No, I was... I was a kid when that happened. All right, right. But when I was 16, this was just like a complete lapse of judgment. Sometimes your brain, you know how it's not developed yet? Your frontal loar cortex, cortex or whatever. So you just make dumb decisions. Of course.

My friend was being like a bitch and we were at a party. It was a... It was a band was playing and all this stuff. And then he's like, I gotta go hang out with my girlfriend. I was probably like 10 p.m. or something. So gross. Yeah, I was like, you're in, you pussy, what are you doing?

I mean, look, we're in high school. It's like, dude, you see her tomorrow morning. Go have fucking lunch or their breakfast. Like, just come hang out. Anyway, he's leaving. I jump in the bed of his truck when he's leaving, kind of just to like fuck with him. Like, don't go.

And he starts taking off. And maybe he picks up like 25 to 30 miles per hour. He's getting too far away from the house. And I'm already a little bit drunk. So I'm like, I should get out. And so I literally thought I was going to jump out of his The bed of the truck and land on my feet

I literally thought that was going to happen I thought like I don't know if you ever seen Matilda With that fucking like giant chick She like jumps from the second story And she lands on her feet like all hard I thought that was going to happen So of course immediately as my feet touched the asphalt I'd go tumbling

And I destroyed my wrist I destroyed it ragged I couldn't enjoy the rest of the fucking party even though I was still there in the corner just like in agonizing pain. You imagine you you leave you leave a party. 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 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 8, 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.

look so hilarious like if I saw if I was driving somewhere and I said I looked in the window and I saw you tumble like cartwheeling down the street on your head I would be like what the fuck is going on yeah I definitely um I I I 100% deserve that obviously that was just the dumbest thing ever to me yeah that was optimal yeah and that to this day since like since that whole man mentality I never went to the hospital or anything about it and my wrist so I'm the 16 almost almost 16 years later my wrist is still messed up. Yeah, man.

It's still, I have atrophy in my arm because, yeah, I would work out so much and I couldn't support the weight with this arm.

So my right's like so much fucking bigger even though I, you know, my left is my dominant hand. So it's kind of weird. It's kind of weird how that,

yeah. It happens, man. Yeah. That's just crazy, man. Like, I don't know. I haven't really, I've only,

I've dislocated my knees like a million times. Ooh. To the point it's like the first time it was insane and it was like a very, Like I was just I was literally just trying to go up the stairs

But I was like I could probably skip some of these stairs. Oh So like I just faster. Yeah like so I tried to skip like three or four stairs You go twos and then when you get when you get when you get I was even jumping up them like I was like literally like one foot down the next foot up three stairs So I was like stretched out like an Olympian and then and then I was about to pull myself up and I was like something's wrong And then just a pop out of my leg and I was like I tumble backwards down the the stairs and I was like lying on the ground I was like oh shit fuck and then my my half sister she walks in she's like hey what happened I was like I dislocated my knee I think and she was like are you joking I was like what you're on the floor I have no history

of like pranking her or anything like I don't lie about these things she's like I don't know if I believe she doesn't believe me is this a bit I couldn't believe it yeah she was like is this a bit I was like are you fucking skits or your video so yeah as a little kid it's like what are you talking about. That's not yet. That's not yet. She's like she knows things. Like she foreshadows. It's a fucking sketch comedy.

Yeah, I tumbled backwards down the stairs and landed on my fucking spinal column for a joke. Like where's Sweene, huh? What's one of your jokes? You're like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? I think I literally said like my parents make fun of me to this day because they were like, I think apparently I screamed, what is with you people while I was on the ground writhing.

They all didn't believe me. Nobody believed me. A house full of people just staring at you be on the floor and pay. I'm not like, I don't just lie to my parents about being hurt. Like, that's never been a thing that I did. Parents never believe you, man. When I broke my ribs, my grandmother was trying to get in side of the ambulance to hit me. I remember that.

I remember, like, I remember being like probably in shock and high out of my mind looking at my grandma coming. I mean, I'm like, oh, no, if she gets to me, I'm done. It's because you crash bandicoed body slammed a boulder, right? Huh! This fucking belly flop. She was like, I was looking at. and I saw her like coming to the door and I was like don't let her in, don't let her in. She's gonna hit me.

I know she's gonna hit me in my ribs. Oh man, no, she's gonna know. How many ribs did you break six? Fuck, that's insane. That's like, that doesn't feel like necessarily most of them but it also kind of does. I think that's like half of them. I'm pretty sure that's half of your ribs. That's fucking why.

It hurts so bad. It was, I said this before, but it was so painful that literally every time I inhaled almost beat my pants. That is one of my, that is one of the bones that I really don't want to break. I don't want to break my ribs because they already feel so fragile. Yeah. Because they bend. You know they bend. And you put you,

I remember when I was a kid, I would like push a little bit on my ribs. I was like, are they supposed to bend like that? I was like, scared. Or when you inhale how to expand? Yeah, it's like, it's gnarly. They're bones that bend. And that's like really scary. Very.

And they could be so you break them. There's a possibility that you will puncture your long. Yeah. Yeah. Like that is. Fuck, man. Fuck that. Fuck that.

Terrible design again. I hate that, man. Like, I don't know. I'm at, what is it? Like I'm 25 years in, 26 years in, quarter century into my life. Not a broken bone yet, which means I just know it's like closer and closer. Every day just closer. It means that you're not going to be able to get used to it right way.

Because when you're a kid, you're breaking it like, oh, this happens. I'm going to get used to the pain. I'm going to have a reference. You're going to have no reference. There's going to break something. You're going to be like, fuck, this is the worst pain ever. I fucking hate everything. I think you skipped over it, honestly, because I think most people break their bones when they're kids.

Because kids are just fucking stupid. I'm going to look that up. When your kids and when you're involved with your dumb ass. kids. Yeah, because, like, I've never, I mean, I've had, so I've had little fractures and stuff. I also messed up my knee and football things. I still never, I haven't fixed everything. I have another problem with my hip that I don't know what's going on.

But I know I've had x-rays at least on my hip. I know it's not anything broken, so I think it's nerve damage. That's the worst. It's like the MRI shit, and I just, I'm too lazy to get that shit. Because it's a process. You have to get it approved and then all this stuff. The payment is so fucking ridiculous. MRI costs way too much fucking money.

They're a lot. Too much. It's weird. What I do is like my back hurts every so often. So I haven't done it in years since I moved to California, but I would just go to a chiropractor. Okay. And like on my back hurts, I was go to a chiropractor and they would break the shit on my back. And it would sound like somebody just stomping on like Rice Krispies for like a fucking minute.

And then like I'm in home. Like I'd have to go three times like every two weeks I would go. And they would just fix my fucking back. And now it's like I'm definitely overdue for one of those. But it hurts like shit. I don't know, man. I just, the thought of breaking a bone is so terrifying to me. Just because it's like, my bones are the one thing I can rely on.

For the most part, yeah. Like, if I'm, like, sick and my stomach's fucked up or, like, I got a headache or something, I can always at least be confident in knowing that, like, ah, you know, at least my skull is going to retain, retain the shape of a skull, you know, at least my ribs are going to, you know, let me breathe. Like, it's one of the voluntary parts when that doesn't work. It's like, if you ever try to make your arm move and then, like, it fucking spasms, you're like, oh, man, well, here we go.

All the control. I had in this life is gone now. I can already tell, like, even beyond just the physical pain of it, I can already tell that just the sight of my arm in a state that I'm not used to seeing it is going to be far more traumatic than the pain. Yeah. Like, I can already tell. Like, it's just like, I can't believe in anything now.

The most reliable thing that I have has failed me. Like your hand looks like a fucking twizzler. Yeah. It's like that Harry Potter movie where they, what is it, they take his bones out of his arm? Yeah, man. And they regrow them in the hospital? Yeah, that world's confusing. is fucked hog fucked

fuck warts it's disgusting man like I just that that that whole universe is just off putting absolutely you imagine some wizard gets a gun it's over

wizard makes a magical gun I mean is it I mean it's make a magical gun I'm be honest I don't know anything about Harry Potter I don't really know anything about it either I saw I saw three I saw the first three movies and then the last part of the last one

so I was just beyond oh yeah like what's this Harry's a grown ass spin. So I did the complete wrong way of what you're supposed to do because my mom, she would reward me by doing extra, like, curricular stuff. So she's like, I wanted a skateboard. I think I was 11 or something.

And she was like, all right, the goblet of fire book just came out. And it was fucking fat. So she was like, she would be like, read that book, write a report out and I'll buy the skateboard. And I'm like, all right. Not knowing anything about Harry Potter. It's the fourth fucking book in. I was like, what is happening?

I don't know any, I don't get this at all. And then I had to talk to my friend who was saying like, yeah, dude, like, I have the source for all this shit. So I had to, like, read the back of his book just to understand anything. Oh, my God. That's so fucked. They just dropped you in the middle of, like, the fourth. Yeah.

She was just like, she didn't give a fuck. She was like, whatever. Read this fucking book. Like, and then I'll, like, I'll, I want to see that you're, like, grinding. And then I'll, I'll reward you. And yeah, I really, I, as soon as I wrote, wrote whatever, I completely just went away from my hand. I can see that being a non-ideal way to experience that. Absolutely, that's definitely not the way. I saw the first movie and I was, I hated it because I love, I'm a person that

loves magic, but I like when it's used like as the way that Dr. Strange uses magic, where it's really like, the sorcery is used as like cool-ass weapons and it's entertaining to me. But when, I'll give you an example, there was these toys that were hit the shelves called the Mystic Knights of Ternanog. And this was before the show actually, it was kind of, it was kind of, of like, oh, Power Rangers is big, so we're going to make shit like that. The toys looked amazing, all these nice and all these badass things. So I bought them. And then when the show was about the start, I'm like, oh, this show should be dope.

They had all these cool-ass weapons, swords, and then they were just pointing them and then Jizz was just shooting out of them. Like, I was like, what do you do? Like, you know, like a mystic knight or like an arcane warrior? Yeah. Like, that's like the coolest shit. You have magic and you have a fucking weapon. That's pretty dope. They weren't using the weapons.

They were just, like, it was like, phew, phew. And I was like, fuck this. And that's why I felt about Harry Potter. little, zapping and they're saying all these dumb ass like what are they,

what are they rapping? It felt too small world for me. Like, I wanted like, I wanted like people like fucking like fucking like like magical fucking like dragons flying in and breathing fire.

Like I just wanted like more grandiose stuff. That's what I look for in magic. It was cute. I liked the first two movies just because they felt like well they were directed by the same guy who did Home Alone.

So they had that, they had that kind of like they had that kind of Christmasy feel for some reason. Okay. Like they feel like good Christmas movies. Snuggie. I mean, Chamber of Secres is pretty good still I think.

but I stopped at Asgaband because that movie was just dark as shit I like that movie like literally I don't mean in tone I mean like I just couldn't see shit Oh like I was like all right well I guess I don't know what's happening All I know really about Harry Potter is that there's a house elf named Dobby and he gets fucking Killed like kill canned he gets a throwing knife like a fucking Modern Warfare 2 kill cam And it's the funniest shit in the world because it's this whimsical world of magic and sorcery and they just throw a knife and he gets a fucking goblet

he just gets knife That's hilarious Like you can hear a bunch of 12 year olds going like Oh oh oh oh You ever see that infamous one No I'm not infamous you ever see that famous one on Model Warfare 2 With a dude it's uh it's the high rise

The level He jumps off the crane jumps off and then dude That's still to this day is so I'm like That is so impressive That's legendary That's what I think about when I think of like a ridiculous kill Yeah I used to I loved um I still I'll go back to Modern Warfare 2 every once in a while

And the one thing that became really big because everyone was like okay you can't nube tube like don't nub tube because everybody would get mad yeah the grenade launcher but then it became like a thing where all right we're gonna nube tube just at the very beginning when it just when death match starts and then everyone just shoots them and tries to hit everyone so it became like a thing that was like the staple all right everybody

it was like a beginning of the game more it was so cool the um i fucking hate it I hate call duty I hate call to all my heart monomer fair and monofer too are pretty good I've never liked call d d d'i i fucking hate it all monorfer two is if I played it don't even I played at a fuck time because everybody else fucking played it. I played Rust like a fucking every dad play.

Me and my friend would sit down in his room and just call each other the worst shit and play Rust all the time. Like literally, he would play Mario Party until we got mad at a Mario Party. We would play Rust one on ones and then I would go home furious. That was like the routine. Like every day you do that shit to the point that one time we played Mario Party. And he fucked like literally I got bombed by Bowser. Somebody took my coins and then I lost a star and I got up and I said I fucked. I can hate you. I hate you and I walked away.

And I spoke to him the first time again when I went back to New York two years ago and I was 13 when I did that. I took him for fucking 11 years. Because I just, we were just in such a little toxic environment. It was his basement and we were just playing video games as preteens and our bodies were changing. We were angry at everything.

Mario Party and Mono Warfare are probably the two worst games to play when you're trying to have a good time. Yeah. Like those are both incredible. Like MonoWher is super competitive and then Mario Party is just complete luck and it's just complete bullshit. It's just dickery. So you just you always feel cheated in Mario Party.

It's just every Mario game you feel as every Mario game incites being a dickhead. Which is just like, I love Mario games. But like all of them, either you're jumping on these little civilians in their little town, just terrorizing them and throw, you jump on Cooper's pick them up and then throw them off cliffs.

Yeah. That's pretty fucked. It's pretty brutal. Speaking of video games and Harry Potter. 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 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. 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. To listen to more, check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.

Two Towers. Two Towers was dope. That was just hella dope. I love it. I never beat one of the bosses because I just didn't understand what I did. Return of the King was honestly one of the best. best video games I played on the Xbox. Really? I remember, oh, I got, well, I got mad because I got stuck when it was time to

defend the towers, and they kept, like, their seeds was always complete, and then I never went back to the game. I don't remember, I want to go back to it because now I feel like, okay, I was probably a dumb-ass piece of shit, and I can't. I'm a little stupid boy then. I can't fucking do it, but I'm a big boy. I specifically remember on PS2 just being so angry that I'm like, how do I keep not doing this? Like I'm killing everybody, but then their ladders get right back up. And then they just start celebrating when there's too many of them on the fucking, I'm like getting flashbacks and being angry. For me, I played the two towers.

And it was this part where you broke into the bottom and you were like fighting this giant troll. And I had no clue I beat that troll. And I would literally like stay up all night. Like I have to beat this troll to the point that my cousin is like, just give up. You're never going to do it. And I gave up. I gave up. He was like, give up.

You'll never beat this. again you're not going to do this and I was just like you know I want I want to right and I just stopped I want to say something about Harry Potter before people because people are probably getting mad first of all I think the first movie came out when I was super young yeah and I was very so I haven't seen it since then and I have been planning on marathoning all of it at some point just so I can kind of give a a thought of how it is as an adult because I didn't like the first one as a kid yeah where I was just like it's not for me. The book was stupid, everything. I just wasn't into it. Maybe now I'd appreciate it and

appreciate the, so I'm not saying like as now I don't like Harry Potter. I just, I'm indifferent to it. I'm like, whatever's going to give you that much shit. Harry Potter's, kind of over and done with at this point. I think everybody kind of gets that that's like, I mean, dude, I still see people fucking put in their like bios of the, the, I just had, I just learned about Hufflepuff. Oh, wait, don't tell me, don't tell me. Hufflepuff, um, Gryffindor, the snake one. Yeah, yeah. And there's a, I just learned there was four. And then so I'm missing two, but there's the, the, the, the, what's the Ravenclaw?

Ravenclaw, that's the snake one. Slitherland. Okay. Jesus Christ, man. Well, I'm, yeah, I'm really bad at that shit. Anyway, and the other thing I want to say, because you bought up, like, quitting the game because you were kind of convinced that you were never going to beat it. Is there any game that you can remember that you just, you completely fucking rage quit and never went back to it? Oh, let me think.

Dark Souls. Oh, no shit. I was just done. The second my sword hit the wall and their swords didn't, I was like, this is, I'm not,

this is not fun at all. I couldn't do it. What game did I give up on that? I can't beat this. I'm never going back. I just can't beat him. So you never beat. Ninja Guiden.

Ninja Guiding for the Xbox. I lost so often. There was times that I was like, it would start up and I'd already be getting hit and I'd be at half of my health. And I was like, I can't do this. Ninja Guy is hard.

It's not good for me. And I just gave up on it. Ninja Guy is so good, though. Yeah, it's a good, but it's a hard game. It made me, I can do it now. The first, the first Ninja Guy in the hard is shit. The one for, NES? Yeah, that's just stupid.

Dumb. Yeah, that's why they, that staple Nintendo hard, where all those games were just, if you ever gone back and just play something like Contra, like, if you don't have the 30, 30 lives, uh, code, you're not going to beat it. Let's be real, though. You're not going to beat that shit.

Those games are, like, people kind of glorify those hard games as like, they're like, oh, they're super well designed. They're not well designed at all. No, they're not. People had no idea how to design games back then, and what they were following was the arcade model, which was games that were so hard that you would die, and then you would put money into the machines into it.

Except you had that experience at home. So it made no sense. It was like, why is this so hard? I bought this game. Like, I'm all good for a challenge. Sekaro is great. Yeah, I love challenge. So impeccably balanced and so good.

And Bloodborn is one of those, too. But, like, I don't know, man. Contra's just stupid. That game's not fun. I actually beat that game, like when I was a kid. kid, like, beat it. Like, no, I didn't cheat at all. And then I was like, I'm done.

I'm never playing this again. I'm done. I hated this. I hated my experience. I played Metal Slug with my cousin. And at point in that game, there would be bullets that you couldn't even see or do it. You just couldn't do anything about getting hit with bullets. Metal Slug is beautiful.

It's so fun. It looks fantastic still. What is that genre called the bullet raining? What did they call it? Oh, uh, bullet hell. Yeah, bullet hell. Yeah. Well, that's more like, uh, well, yeah, when you have the platform and then it's like

everything's just kind of and you have to move around it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think, the vertical platform. Yeah, I think Metal Slug was more of like a like a side scroller kind of But it was very, it definitely was a shoot-em-up. So good. So it would, I love, I love this, those, those timed fucking shots that it's going so slow that you think that, oh, this is going to be so easy to dodge.

But then it's just, it's put there perfectly for you to pretty much like jump into it or if you jump away from it. That's every Mega Man game. Some of them would fly at you than blow up. up and you're like, I'm a jump over as and it blows and be like, how? How was I meant to get over this? We actually got a lot of a video game. 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, I didn't keep it to my 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, 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.

That's fantastic. That is a good one. I did a video on dating websites and there was one called C-Captain date and one of the profiles was all hands on date. So that's cool. I like that. It's a nice whole throwback.

This is quite a simple question and one meant more for Sween after listening to the last episode of the podcast. What's up? What is your favorite dark souls slash blood-born slash Seckerow boss fight? Okay, my favorite boss fight from Sekaroeuro visually was a divine dragon. That shit was

gorgeous. It was a beautiful fight. Dark Souls was Dark Souls 1 was Orangeine and Smog Dark Souls 2 I just hated that game I just didn't like that game at all Yeah But maybe like the salamander

That you just fucking bullied Just one salamander That you just fell on top of And did like half damage him And he was just like oh I'm just gonna fuck that It was just some It was like just tall lanky thing you thought

That looked like a shambling man I don't know I didn't play any of these And then what else Dark Souls 3 3 is So many good bosses in that game Three is probably has the best variety of bosses, in my opinion.

The old dragon's slay was pretty good in three, right? He was in three, right? The old, yeah, yeah. He had the iron on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or maybe even that, like, the Frost Demon with the mallet, because he was really cool. Or the tree, you fought a fucking tree. It's a lot.

Three is hard. I know it's not an exciting boss and the first Dark Souls, but just the theme of, of Gwen, Lord of Sender. Just him being the final boss. It's the theme that gets me. It's not about, like, it's a great theme. I like how Gwen, like, runs at you and, like, floats a little bit and then slashes you, but he's a gigantic dude. And his stupid fucking, his sword, I hate when, his sword is so ridiculously stupid and, like, say, it just, the hipbox is way above his sword itself. So it's such a dumb reach.

It's so dumb. But I just, it's just the feeling of that fight. And I love that. Number two, I can't really think of anything. That really stood out to me. Yeah, it was really all right. That's what I like, I'm like, I don't really remember having any memorable. fights in number two.

Oh, I know. Bloodbourne, I have one too. Yeah. I let you finish. And Bloodborn, there's something about, I don't know if it's just, there's something about Father Gascoigne that I just really like that guy. That's the one that everybody remembers.

Yeah. He just goes bat shit. That's why it's from, yeah, Farley Gascoons is a really good one. I like German, the old hunter. I like Gary because like,

he does something where he hits you and he pulls his axe back and it creates like a little tornado. And I'm like, oh, this guy's like, and he's like this old like shambly dude. Then he gets up and he's like, just lanky fucking Abraham linking looking motherfucker

that just starts kicking this shit out of you it's such a good firm software thank you for existing I really appreciate you guys I just thanks like off like off kilter

no one made me say this I appreciate y'all y'all made such great video games yeah yeah you got really you got really good at actually making hit boxes that make sense as you as you matured as a development

I mean securro has some moments but like yeah it gets better it gets better definitely I need to say this about dark souls one and give people a little bit of PTSD, because there's that one moment when you're in a Norlando,

and you're going up that one ledge, and there's those two dragon slayers that have the bows, and there's that one guy, and this is one of the worst designs ever, ever. And I wish you would have experienced this, Chris, because it's designed to push you off the ledge because the dragon slayer bow,

even if you block it, you go back a few feet, it's one of the most, and there's going to be some people like, oh, this is easy. I'm like, bullshit, dude. Fuck you. It's so the timing

You have to get it just right to either roll under him When he shoots and then finally try to get him off the ledge It's one of the worst designs ever Especially just because why would there be knights Standing on the fucking ledge Because that's not even a way to get You go around Like you can't get in the main interests

You go around And they're like on the side Yeah why would they be there Why there's no reason that these fully dressed knights In the silver armor just there Like as if yeah People do this all the time I was so glad that I didn't fucking experience that.

The bow would hit you, do damage you, then send you back. No. That would piss me off. That would send me reeling, fucking spiraling into another realm. I couldn't handle it. I hated it, man. I've definitely not finished runs of Dark Souls because of that. You know, there's been other times.

I just don't have time for this. I don't have time to go through this bullshit. Doing a new game plus or something. And I'm like, you know what, I'm good. I'm done with this. That would be me with fucking Gwen. Sometimes I would go to fight Gwen and I just were like, because the whole.

game, you don't really need to parry for when you need to parry. And I was like, I'm just going to go, like, fuck it. And I didn't practice parrying the whole fucking run. So like 35 hours into this game, I'm fighting his boss that you just can't out fight. He's stronger than you. He's fastening you. He can float. He has a flaming sword, and he just beats

the shout to me. So the point I've been like, I can't play this right now. And I would put on something like stupid. Yeah, yeah. Like Hello Kitty's adventures. Just the cool my soul. Yeah, I don't know. I couldn't do any of the Dark Souls. I couldn't do it. They're a good game. The first one just soiled it for me.

I got so angry, so quick. And I was just like, I can't. I don't have the patience for this. Sekaro, I'm a big fan of that monkey. The big. Oh, my God. The ape. The ape shits on you and stuff?

You throw shit at you. The ape, barts on you and shit. It just has one of the coolest twists of any fight that I've seen. When he gets up again. When he gets up again. I was like, what the fuck is this? That was, that whole game's like really cool. I really, I really like Sechero.

That's probably my favorite one. I think. Just the sheer verticality that you have. I hate, if there's a game that will staple me to the ground always, I'm going to like that game less than a game that doesn't, that allows me to move freely. Yeah, it's not the best. And Dark Souls and like, even Bloodborn is very, you're on the ground.

Yeah. You're always on the ground. Yeah. And that's kind of it. It's kind of like gears where it's like, I probably have more fun with gears if I could jump. Do more, yeah. It is a little weird that you're so limited.

It's weird when I remember when I cut, because I'm like, coming from like the 64 and. like 64 PlayStation era like it was a lot of double jump like that was the fucking shit like everyone could jump twice yeah and then like I remember when I played um I played like a third person shoot I was like a more like reality

based one like maybe it was like uh infant not infamous um uncharted yeah and I was like oh dude I can't jump twice I can't really jump my jumps like I land really quick it's like thought it's just kind of that was well into the PS2 and Xbox Generation 2 is a big like

Jack and Daxter I think you could double jump Yeah, for a while. Sly Cooper, I'm pretty sure. Slike Cooper. It seems like a game where you would be able to double-dip. I never played Sly. I had like a whole, I had like a really long cartoony video game phase.

Yeah. And then I snap back into like gritty, regular games against me like Dark Souls 1. Was that when I snap back into like, this game is like more grounded and like weight. Yeah. It was like your character's kind of floating around. And it was just,

it was just raunchy. I didn't like it. Have you played a game that you hated and then like played like several years later and then like really, really loved? Um, Let me think What game that I did not like

And I just like Because when I first played the demo For Shadow the Colossus I was like This sucks I was like I don't understand this at all I'm just some stupid little girl boy Or whatever the fuck

Like you're just some androgynous dude Just walking through the fucking empty planes A little in between baby Yeah I hated it I was like it sucks And I played it again like five years later And it became like one of my favorites I think it's linked to the past with me

Really? Really? You hated it at first and then you When I that game is such a bullshit game like link to the past the ending in that game is so dude is so bullshit you're gonna get crucified i'm gonna crucified i love the game i beat it like three times but like i remember i beat that i bet i beat all the temples everything like that for like a while like i was just walking around because i had no where to go then i was fighting like one of the little

decoos and i threw a bomb and it missed him and it blew up the entrance to the last boss and i was like this is fucking stupid because there was no clue of knowing it was there yeah that shit got me live it and I played it and like I was like this is dumb like I'd even enjoy the final part of the game because I did so much work and I got it by mistake and I was like this is really unattractive to me then I played it again I was like oh this guy I've seen you played then on the remake of it and like it's it's good it's a no the remake is link links awakening so link to the past no thanks to one of us on NES right a super NES super NES and it was just like it was it was a good game just you know that fucked me up really bad I'm a huge Zelda fan

that fucked me bad I see. All Twilight Princess, too. I played it on the Wii, uh, the Wii, uh, the Wii. And it was way better on the Wii. Mm. Way better. I totally missed that.

I totally missed that. Way, way better. Well, the whole Wii era of stuff. I, I, I, because I really like Wedging Zelda, but I wasn't a fan of Wii,

really. Yeah, and, uh, or like I said, I really didn't have any, um, any Nintendo stuff. So I just missed all,

oh my eye or whatever. Then I saw some people doing that shit. It's dumb. And I was like, I'm not, I'm not doing that. It's dumb. I'm not fucking doing that.

It played infinitely better on the Wii U. Infinitely. But you know, I can't really think of any games that I really hated and went back to it. The only thing I can think is something that I appreciated much more was a game called Vagrant Story. And the way the combat was really interesting to me because it reminded, in retrospect, it reminded me of the VATs and, come on, what is wrong with my brain today? Fallout. What is wrong with my brain today?

It's like not. doing computing. You're trying to survive all the pain from your leg. It is actually bothering me. Like I've been like trying to find a comfortable position. I'm really sorry to hear that man. It is. It is what it is. You know, like it should, it should be fine. But yeah, Vigran story was pretty interesting and because when you would, you would have to select parts of the body that you wanted to attack. And, uh, all right. Yeah. And I remember also, it was a really interesting game, but it also kind of was dumb because I didn't know at the time that there were, like, especially in the UK, there are some dudes

named Ashley, you know, would like spell like, uh, E-I-G-H at the end, like Ashley. And so I'm like, why is this guy named Ashley? Like, it bothered me. This guy named, I was just like, this is like, you know, I didn't, I was young. And, uh, but later on, I was like, oh, this game, that game was actually pretty fucking cool. Like, I just didn't really get it at the time. It's, I feel like it's a rare that you find something that you really loved as a kid. And it's, you go back to it and it's even better. Hey, it's Jay Shetty from On Purpose. Check out the best of a moment we did, presented by eBay.

Music has always been one of my teachers. There was a vinyl record I used to play during a quiet, very formative season of my life. Late nights, no distractions, just me, the music and my thoughts. Over time, life changed, schedules filled up, and somewhere along the way, that record disappeared. I didn't notice right away, but I felt the absence of what it represented. So I searched for that same vinyl, the same version, the same cover, and I found it on eBay. When it arrived, I couldn't wait to listen.

And when I finally did, the music was the same, but I wasn't. I heard it differently. I understood it differently. And that's when it really hit me. Objects can evolve us, they can remind us of practices we want to return to, of values we don't want to lose, of versions of ourselves that still matter. That's what I love about eBay. It's not just about buying things. It's also a place where you can let go of items that are no longer serving you

or that you no longer need. You can give items a new life, a new story with someone else. To listen to more, check out the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.

this game is just it's still amazing you know super Metroid every time I play that game it's like this game is still one of the greatest games ever made that's a good game and and Castlevania Cylvania the Night yeah symphony the night yeah so objectively probably one of the best games ever of all time yeah I think I put Metro up there with it too Metroid linked to the past um the yeah man there's I don't know like we're watching um even just as far as like movies go dude district nine is so much better than I remember it being. I really like just like and I like loved it when I was like when I was a kid I was like this is so cool.

And like I watched it again super recent. I was like this is actually fantastic. I watched it and like I went through the whole process like oh my God those aliens are gross. I'm terrified of aliens. So like during the middle movie I was like I'm feeling for them. I'm starting to feel for them because like I'm going to be real. I'm going to be real with you all right. I don't like aliens at all.

I don't like the idea of things coming from different planets. earth. That shit bothers me to my core. You would be racist against alien. I would be because they're straight up a different like human race. You know, where the humans. Yeah. But aliens are straight up other shit. Like even

sexy like fucking Gomorra aliens. Wow. I would be like, you're attractive but don't come near me. This is how like all the sideflies play out. It's like real. You have like even in mass effect. Like when they made first contact with the Turians, they had a war.

because of people like you that are like, oh my God, what are these things? We must destroy them. Not even destroy them. Just like, you know, don't try to integrate too fast. This is a bit much. Yeah. It's like truth be told.

Like, just like they're like, come on. In District 9 especially, they look like roaches, which are like, which are like the least attractive creatures. The least relatable living thing probably on the planet. Or at least it's in that class. Yeah. You know, it's like insects. Insects just don't look.

Insects, yeah. Like people at all. But even like, like, I would empathize more with a spider than I empathize with like a roach. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? You know why? I think it's, um, I think it's eyes for me. Well, um, I thought they're really gross in district nine until I looked at their eyes.

Because throughout their eyes, you can see enough emotion. They'd be like, oh, I can connect with this because I can see it has eyes like mine. Like it's blinking habits. Like when it's frightened, his eyes widened. When they tries to focus his eyes like, it's, like, click and collect. Order confirmed. Dad, tomorrow can we start a band? Can we become robots?

Affirmative. Can we go crab battling? That isn't a thing. How about swimming? Dad, can we take a nap? You not off and I'll pick up the shop and deal. Deal. While you do the important things, we'll do the essentials.

Book your free click and collect slot at tesco.e or in app. Tesco, every little helps. Terms and conditions apply. Like they you know they They kind of get smaller Right right And it's just like stuff like that It's like how I can like attach

But like when roaches in general Like they don't have eyes Like bugs have eyes like we do So it's like ew What the fuck? I want to kill you just on principle Because you just look foreign It's look foreign from my existence

It's it's fucking bad I hate it I know you mean Like if it's just like this black soulless eye Then it's like it's hard to emphy Like Ness Like Ness from smash Like Ness

He says his fucking bad eyes are fucking cold and dark. Like a doll's eyes. I look at Ness and I put a sweater on is how fucking cold his stare is. Nothing going on. I don't know, man. That movie's so good. Like,

even the CG is actually still super, it's pretty good. The only part that I noticed that looked old was like there was this part where there's like an anti-aircraft gun that's like shooting missiles at, I think when, towards the end when he's taking off in the ship, there's like an anti-aircraft thing that looks kind of video gamey. It looks a little bit old.

But like the CG on the, the aliens is actually It's good It's good. It's really good. It's helped a lot by the fact that a lot of it is kind of found footagey.

Yeah. So like they get a lot of like grain in the film that like helps kind of smooth over but like that's a I don't know If anybody hasn't seen that movie

Like you really should It's actually so so good It's not one of those movies That is ahead of its time And something that I Because I remember when Watchmen came out for example When Watchmen came out

There was a lot of people That were They were kind of soured to it I also think it was because a rated art thing and people that didn't read the graphic novel too that also kind of makes things a lot. That was like a regular comic movie. Like they didn't understand it. And so I think

there's a lot of people that were kind of sour to it. I loved it and I love it much every time I watch it, I love it even more. I love any more. Fantastic score. Like the soundtrack is amazing. The costume design is fun. The cinematography is amazing. The fucking choreography is good too. Like I love, even when um even when um even when owl in uh sils silk specter banging to hallelujah and just that that scene

right there even that it's so ridiculous but like it's so like what you would do if you were a superhero in that in that scenario yeah the song choice is a bit off it was a bit weird but it still fit yeah i guess i like i'm a big fan of the intro of that movie that starts with bob dillon yeah uh come around baby old songs are like perfect for like just any movie. Like, it's insane. Like, there's, I listen to a lot of, like,

old, old shit just because it's like, it's good editing practice. It's good editing field. It's like, oh, I can edit something to this. Yeah.

There's so much good shit from like a long-ass time ago that nobody's heard because who the fuck is listening to this. Yeah. It's wild. It's just,

it's, that movie, oh my God, I love the watch. Go back and watch that movie. If you haven't watched it a long time ago. The HBO series, too,

is fucking gnarly, man. Did you watch it yet? I haven't got, I'm backlogged on so much stuff. Dude, it's so good. You guys should watch it. I know, I've heard great things. I just, I haven't even watched Altered Carbon.

And I know season two is coming out. Altered Carbon. 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 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.

It's wild. That's the show about like people uploading their consciousness into bodies, right? Yeah. bodies. I'm, and that came out, I think in like 2017 or something.

It came out like we first moved to California. There's too much shit on, there's too many things. There's a lot of great shit, man.

It's like a golden age of television. It's fantastic. Or at least it's been. I don't know if it still is, but it's, but like, I think there's still.

I mean, Washington was very recent. Westworld, have you watched that shit yet? It definitely started with Breaking Bad. Yeah. Like, without a doubt.

Breaking Bad and Walking Dead. Those two say, I should didn't like really good television. Those are wrong time. And then, and then Game of Thrones. They all came out around the same time,

like around 20-20s. Yeah, all that. Or 9. Closer to, yeah, the 2010s. Yeah. And that was... Game of Thrones is my shit until they got real bad.

Of course. I'll be real, man. Like, there's a lot of stuff that's out right now that's pretty good, but like there's a lot of trash. I couldn't... Of course. I couldn't believe

how much I fucking hated the series of unfortunate events show that Neil it was like Neil Patrick Harris was in it I couldn't fucking believe it I actually really loved those books I didn't hate it I'm gonna be honest those are the only well that's fair like I don't think it's necessarily bad but I know that I hated it like I feel like the tone was just

completely fucked never been a fan of those things I was a big fan of those books and like I remember the movie came out like a long as time ago and I was like they threw like three books into one movie so the movie was just like fastest shit and I was like oh my god this is fucked but the tone of it was so good because they had Jim Carrey as the dude and he killed it because he always

does in those roles. He's just good at being a clown he's just good at being like that and he looks like him too like if you look at the drawings of him in the book it's like that looks so much like if it's insane but then you got like I don't know like the show now is like just it feels like family guy

almost where it's just like references and it's like breaking the fourth wall and it's like what the fuck is this. It's probably because I don't know anything about, I didn't even see the movie. Right. It's probably because of that, my expectations, there was none. And when I saw the Neil Patrick Harris, I thought it was like, oh, this is pretty entertaining. I finished the whole thing with, I only watched it because my ex want to watch it, because it's not something that would have really popped up on my radar. But I

actually was like, yeah, let's watch it. I remember, but now if I went, if I knew, if I were in your position, I probably would hate it too. Yeah. It's, it's. not, I don't think it's objectively bad, but as a representation of like what the tone was. Like, because that, that series is like kind of super morbid. Yeah. And like, really like kind of dark. Yeah, it's fucked. The comedy comes from people like literally dying and getting killed by hand.

Like every book someone dies. And that's the joke. And it's like in the show, it's just kind of like, Count Olaf makes a reference to Tinder. For me, it's, I think what's the most terrible television is, now on like cartoon network disney channel and Nickelodeon because I remember them like once upon the time are you sure that's not just because we're older? Nah, dude, because the older shows

are still funny. Rocko's still funny. I can still watch Zach and Cody like I wouldn't enjoy it like I used to when I was younger. I could still watch like fucking Even Steven and shit like that. SpongeBob is like classic. Like I could watch those shows but now I turn on this fucking Henry Danger Oh my God. That show burns my blood. That show's so not good. I don't even know what that is. Yeah, I don't know anything of

fucking hot garbage. Look it up. Why are you watching it? Because I just like I turn it on like a late late night and so I'm like, oh man, I really want to see like fucking George Lopez or Will Smith like a Will Smith show or the Freshman of Bel Air like the old shows that would be on nighttime. The shows that are on now and they are like just fucking travesties. First Prince of Bel Air is a great show.

Fantastic. It's definitely one of it. You know it's weird that it's not usually in the talk of being one of the greatest six cons of all time, but it's up there. And it's not. It's not really like say, you know, like you always hear Sionfield, you hear like, you hear certain things that are like, but I never really hear that, even though they're not obviously the same,

the same. But as far as like people beloved, it's definitely one of those ones that fucking everyone want. I don't like Full House. I definitely, full House is terrible. I never liked it. Full House is horrendous. I think because I'm black.

That's why I was like, I like Family Matters. No, Family Matters was dope. Because I'm a black person. I think that's why. No, no, no. I like family matters and Fresh Prince and I hated Full House. Yeah, Full House was sucked. Because I'd be like,

My friends would be like, I like it. Why don't you like it? I think it's like, there's black people. I had to see black people on screen. I would like tell him when I was younger. I think I'd rather see the black families. The thing with me was that like Full House was everything that Seinfeld wasn't. Like Seinfeld existed to deconstruct everything that Full House was.

Because when Full House was out, the sitcom was about like learning and like a lesson and family. And then Seinfeld came out and it's like, we killed this man and we recorded him while we made fun of him. and that's the show and it's like what the fuck what is this this is so mean like Seinfeld is like the sitcom Always Sunny like it really is yeah

Always Sunny is a Always Zonnie is a What Name a name something That has had this That many seasons and is still just as good I don't know if it's just as good I dude I

It's definitely still funny It's definitely still funny Dude the last season Like the shit that Mac? Mac was with some shit that last season. That dude is, that dude is a fucking genius, man. That dude's a genius.

And he's so dedicated to his craft. Now, he'll get fat, he'll get cut, he'll learn these crazy dance recitals that belongs in something like Black Swan. You know what I mean? Like, this dude does, and the type of stuff that they've gotten away from, and maybe you're right that it's not as good,

but it's not bad at all. You know what I mean? It's like South Park, I would say. It's like where South Park is still not South Park the last season, With this last season in South Park, the one I watched, when Man Bear Pig beat the shout out of devil, that season was hilarious.

Like I kept laughing every episode. For sure, for sure. But it's also just... You don't like it much anymore? It's a virtue of just being around for a long time. That's true. The second you're around for a long time, it's just a law of, like, the universe

that you're just going to be worse. There was a scene this season where Mack picked DeAndrop by her vagina. Have you guys heard about what's been going on with this show Big Mouth? it's on Netflix. It's a Netflix original. Yeah, I know what it is. Okay. So I haven't seen it yet, but I know it's kind of like South Park.

It's like kids doing dumb stuff. Yeah. But I'm hearing that they're getting a lot of stuff, a lot of shit, because they're doing things that are like very sexualized and all this stuff. And the thing that I always thought was interesting was because I've been watching South Park since I was, you know, in elementary school. And I can think of a myriad of things, like what I just mentioned about. sucking the semen out of a hose, you know, and then, or butter's being in a closet

and to get a semen sample. He needs to jack off in the closet, and they're in fourth grade. Yeah, yeah. I have a reason why. What do you got to say, Chris? No, I don't know. Big Mouth is just like, there's something about Big Mouth that feels like less like the writers wanting to do something funny and more like the writers finding an excuse used to put kids in sexual situations because it's like the whole premise of the show is it like every episode is like it's like a sex ed show but it's comedy with kids and all the kids are hideous and it's just like a really fucking ugly show to watch and like so maybe i shouldn't like i don't know i don't really know how i feel about it because like i get like the there's like a level

of offensiveness to it that's like i yeah whatever i don't really care about it the thing the thing about Bigmouth is that it's like a lot of self-partisan sexual things were like kind of drawn crudely Or like kind of mentioned like oh that sexual act happened like oh did Cartman just suck some guy's dick to get come from him Or like oh did butters like go do this it was like usually like off camera or stuff like that The thing about big mouth is that it's like you see it oh you see it you see like naked little kids But like drawings of them so and it's like close-ups of like little kids so I guess is like it's and it's like there's something there's something about it that feels okay really weird it's strange well let me let me say this show because i think it's funny i do get a laugh out of it but like there is times where i'm

like oh this is a little this is a little weird they're showing this right now you know yeah so i mean look it look it i should watch this show before i even you know because i i automatically was kind of given a pass just thinking oh they're probably like south park i haven't seen it yeah so hearing you guys talk, I'm kind of assured that there is a difference. There is a bit of a doubt. There's a difference. Yeah. It seems more emphasized on that stuff.

Yeah, that's what it is. Most South Park episodes don't really have anything to do with that stuff. It's just like a passing moment or like it's just not really a theme at all. But like Big Mouth, it is the theme of like the entire show. So it makes you kind of have to wonder then because it could turn out to be a thing like Dan Schneider with the Nickelodeon shows where there was like a compilation I saw. Somehow I popped up in my recommended. You know how things just come up randomly sometimes?

And it was like... All the shots of kids' feet. The weird things. Who's the Ariana Grande, I think? She would do this thing. I don't know what show it was. But she would do this like vlogging or something. She'd be in front of her webcam and she kept being in weird like compromising positions

and she would do weird things like chugging water. Things that seem kind of over. overtly sexual. Yeah, yeah. It would toe the line. And then I was looking at that compilation. I was like, I can't believe this was in. Because this was way, the last Nick show I watched was Drake and Josh.

So. So after all that stuff started coming out, I was like, I can't believe that shit was in there. He looks weird, dog. He looks like a weird man. He looks like a, he looks like somebody. He looks like fits the role. I don't want to get sued or anything. But he looks like.

He looks like someone who, if I saw him in the news. 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, 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 8, 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.

Take delivery by 331. With a specific headline about something involving children. I would not be surprised to see it. But, yeah, I don't know. I think my main issue with Big Mouth is just how ugly it looks, honestly. It's not attractive. Art style to me is like a big thing and it'll turn me off. That's why I can't play Warframe.

I think Warframe is hideous. Like just the overly designed character models and all the, like... It's super anime. It's super fucking anime. And it's like, just like, ah, this is... I can't do it. Like, it's turning me off. It might be like a way better game than like any of the games in that genre.

But I can't stomach to look at it. Well, that's why I feel about... That's why I feel about Fortnite. Yeah. It's, I'm sure it's pretty fun to play. It just... It was good for a little bit. The way it looks to me, it's designed for a 10-year-olds.

like those commercials from mobile games look It does, yeah It's not It's terrible It has that feel definitely In the way that they move They move like Gumby to me Like the way that they even like

It's just like not I was like dude Seeing grown ass people play this I'm like you're enjoying this I'm okay All right then like you know I'm not to throw shade at Like I said I'm sure the gameplay is fine

I'm sure it's good It must be for that many people to play My problem of Fortnite is a total different one My problem of Fortnite is that the shooting Isn't the main mechanic in a game It's building Yeah Building is the main mechanic

That's what made me. I can't, I can't build it. I learned how to do it. I played Fortnite for quite a while. And then eventually I was like, this game isn't fun anymore. Yeah.

Yeah, I just didn't really, it's just what happens. I just want to, I just say to each their own, like seriously. But like, I don't know,

I can be like Destiny. Destiny is still fucking a great time. Have you, have you just been turned off my game just from the way it looks? Like, I'm sure, right? Because that's your first impression of the game is how it looks.

A lot of anime games now. Yeah, I know what you mean? I can't, I used to be such, I used to be such a big anime fan. I used to be like, oh, I love anime. I used to watch it a lot.

And then, like, all of a sudden, as I've gotten older, I just cannot stand the way anime characters look or talk or any of it. All of it just bothers me. Because a lot of them look super similar now. A lot of them have spiky hair. Like, a lot of the mainstream ones have, like, spiky hair, huge eyes. Very underscurning physical body, like physique. And it's like, you look like every other anime characters ever seen ever.

Yeah. Like, I love Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z and stuff. but like you could literally take any one of those characters and just change their hair and it's another character on the show like Goku and Vegeta have the same face I feel like No they don't I swear to God Goku and Gohan actually have the same face straight up

Well I mean like your best father related so But Goku and Vegeta don't It was super saying Goku and and uh Vigita have the same face They don't because they have the like the kind of like The box eye They don't know who has like circle eyes when he's normal You're like angry he gets like a little slants over

But Vigida doesn't I think like I don't know man I don't you mean though People have some they're like it's this anime in general It has like a very similar look like it's just it's just shonen And that's the shonen thing and that's the ones where most shown is are those So like It's you know it's it's just how it is Yeah a lot of that shit turns me off dude

I used to love anime I love the fucking berserk and stuff but yeah I mean I've never been like crazy I just certain things that are anime Nothing too I learned a term called Chibi if it's too like cute and retarded. I'm not really into it. But I did I was actually reading a comment on one of the, I think episode five or something of this episode of

this podcast. And I mentioned, I don't really remember mentioning Marwin that much. I remember mentioning my first experience was watching my brother play it. So me passing by and then I'm watching him play it. It looked dark, gross, and just

nothing was happening for like 20 minutes. Like he was just traveling and I was what the hell is this game this is this is dumb so i'm talking about i think i was i think it was like 13 or something when that came out and so that was my first i don't think that now but like i see how like the perception when you first experience something it has to look good to you if it doesn't look good to you you're not going to be interested and so i got one of the worst experiences just you know being something it took too long for anything to happen but like me being an adult, like say, yeah, I like that game.

Or I play, it could be just as simple as one of my favorite games. I mentioned Legend of Dragoon. You can be, like, say, walking in a certain area and just looking at the character sprites and they look stupid. They look awful. Your whole experience with the game could be just completely derailed by the- Visual. By the way that you first experience it.

Yeah. Like, if I had went to my cousin's house and I had seen Halo for the first time and he was lost in like a maze. I would have been like, what the fuck you're doing? But I happened to get in where he's like in a cool vehicle section. I was like,

what the fuck is this? This is cool as shit. I feel you. That's very true. You know, I totally like, that could have, the point at which I arrived at that house

could have completely derailed. My entire taste. Yeah. And period. Yeah. Hey, you based so much of your like off Halo. Yeah,

I think so. Yeah. It just fulfills every thing that I like. That'd have been crazy for me. Do I remember when that shit came out like my, my friends were marking out so hard at the grass. they were just they were pointing down like oh my god dude look at the grass the grass looks amazing because like in halo really yeah dude even the because when you when you look at especially in the

PS1 oh yeah everything was literally it was just green polygon the Xbox 3 and it's 720p too yeah so it was already even better even the PS fucking two and it was just like wow look at the I can see individual blades of grass you know even though if you if you go back and look at it now it's just a texture it's just a flat texture yeah It's just like a super detailed flat texture But it was pretty impressive at the time Yeah I think yeah that makes sense I think

Yeah your first impression is like a huge deal Very much so And it's kind of insane Because my first impression of the Witcher was like terrible Witcher 3 Yeah the Witcher 3 It took me like four tries to play that game To really like it

Oh yeah I think the show helped a lot This show the show helped me Because I always wanted to play which I've been talking to you I've been talking to you about for years Like I want to play that game I'll play that game But watching the show

And Henry Cavill just You know Look in the way he does It's a hunk of a man Definitely started something in my body Had to play that game, you know Yeah, it's a really good Like that show was a really good way of just like

Because I was like interested in the world already By the time I was done with the show It's like all right Well now that I have this like extra layer of interest I'm willing to kind of overlook some of the stuff That I wasn't previously Because before like I started The Witcher 3 And I'm like why does Geryl slide around

Like a fucking seal And I was like I don't care about any of this But the show is like okay Well now I'm like grounded I can get over the fact that he slips around Like a fucking eel or I thought he moved too fast for the world sometimes He definitely moves too fast for the world

Like he was like he would just be fucking going Like sometimes he'd be moving And he was like taking off And I'm like whoa but Gary you gotta calm down Now I think that's one of the best games Ever made honestly like I love it I love it I love the combat Like playing that game again

Or like playing that game like properly Has me like super pump for cyberpunk Yeah very much so It really feels like Like the what I've seen from cyberpunk It makes the Witcher 3 look cute Yeah I mean Like just

It's insane We've got a question here from zillion or zillion zillion x x i l i a n whatever the fuck that is zillion zillion zillion x hey guys i'm a huge fan and i'm so happy uh you guys are continuing with your podcast i love listening to you guys at work and never fails to bring a smile to my face look at that thank you i appreciate it dude and that nice uh and also you make me laugh hysterically while my co-workers look at me

funny i had a question for all of you on your opinion on the game no man sky From the launch to where it is now, what are your thoughts on it? Internet Historian has a great video talking about it. Yes, he does. Yes, he does. I haven't watched all that video because it's a pretty long video. Yeah, it's a lot. But I watch the shit out of it.

No Man Sky is a weird game for me because I remember when they first announced it, I immediately was like, that is not, that is going to be bad. I was with you. We were watching the E3 and it was like, it's impossible to do that. Joe was like excited. He was like, yeah, we had two of our friends that were like really like, oh my God, I can't wait. And I was like, this game doesn't look possible.

But I was like, all right, I guess we guys got it. I never played it still to this day. I watched it be played upon launch. I played it around launch because I think I was just so immensely curious. Ah. And then, like, even though I, like, I knew, I knew that it was going to be bad. Because, like, the whole promise of that game was, like, hey, we're going to give you, like, a universe with a billion planets. And you're going to, like, be able to leave planets and, like, go into break into the atmosphere and, like, travel to different worlds and land on them.

And it's going to be insane. and that's a really cool promise except for the fact that and I don't know maybe we talked about this on another episode of the podcast I can't remember because at this point

I talked to you all so regularly that it's hard to distinguish what we already said or not but I remember being like this is such a huge step from where we currently are that I don't think it's possible to make that engaging

because we haven't even built a game where you can have free reign of an entire planet let alone billions of them that you can travel between. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like I feel like the first step of a game of anything like that would be like let's make a game where you have a proper sized planet. I think you can go. Like a full in depth like in 100%. Yeah, like a full on like like the biggest game that we're looking forward to now is cyberpunk and that's just a city. You know what I mean? You're going to tell me that you're going to build this like incredible game with like

billions of different planets that are like super interesting to like all of them are super interesting and distinct enough to explore and traverse, but we can't but like some of the best developers are struggling to make a game where like even just a single location is entertaining and fun. Like there's no fucking way. Yeah. And then every trailer,

every year was the same thing. Dude gets in a ship, leaves, shoots a thing, goes down on the ground, sees an alien. Whoa, what a crazy camel thing that's looking like, huh? And then he documents it and then they're done. And then every, for years, that was

It was the same trailer. And I was like, guys, this is looking bad. And it came out and it was completely fucked. Apparently it's a fucking great game now. Apparently it's a decent game now. I love that they, one of the, they're the shining example of something just listening to the criticism, like literally listening to it, documenting the criticism of like what is important versus who's just talking shit and who's actually playing the game and

says this needs to be fixed. and then shutting up, working at it, fleshing it all out, and now it's finally a good game. I actually, if it was on sale, I would have bought it, but right now on Steam, it's $60. And I was like, what the fuck? Like, give me a sale, and I'll probably buy it for like 40 or something.

Oh, that's fucked. I got it when it was like super cheap after it's terrible. Yeah, when it was just, see, like, I'll get it. Now that it's fully fleshed out, because I really do like space exploration. I'm a huge, like, sci-fi nerd. So I'm like, yeah, I saw all the things that you said, and I was like, I'm not touching this because I know it's going to be,

it was one of the things. things, it was kind of like Andromeda where I knew it was going to be a massive disaster, but because of Mass Effect meaning so much to me, I had to play it at lunch. So I just got like, all right, I'm still going to play it. And then I'm going to experience all of the terrible things and the glitches and everything that happened. And I did. And I never picked the game up again, which is insane for me to have like,

Hey, it's Jay Shetty from On Purpose. Check out the best of a moment we did presented by eBay. Music has always been one of my teachers. There was a vinyl record I used to play during a quiet, very formative season of my life. Late nights, no distractions, just me, the music and my thoughts. Over time, life changed, schedules filled up, and somewhere along the way, that record disappeared. I didn't notice right away, but I felt the absence of what it represented. So I searched for that same vinyl, the same version, the same cover, and I found it on eBay.

When it arrived, I couldn't wait to listen. And when I finally did, the music was the same, but I wasn't. I heard it differently. I understood it differently. And that's when it really hit me. Objects can evolve us. They can remind us of practices we want to return to, of values we don't want to lose.

A versions of ourselves that still matter. That's what I love about eBay. It's not just about buying things. It's also a place where you can let go of items that are no longer serving you or that you no longer need. You can give items a new life, a new story with someone else.

Take delivery by 331. A game like that. And the fucked up thing is they could have fixed everything. Andromeda?

They didn't do shit. They abandoned the game. It did so poorly. There was the other arcs, the other ships that were supposed to show up that had some of the other more important aliens. And then there's the core. were my favorite. They're all these other people, they just never showed up.

And then they're like, no more updates. No man's guy, small company, you know, backed slowly but surely fixed things. Yeah. It's got to appreciate that shit.

Battlefront, yeah, Battlefront, yeah, it's a dope-ass game now. Battlefront, too, turned it around also. There you go.

From what I heard. Yeah, I might be downloaded it. There's a lot of stories like that, and it's weird because, like, there's a famous quote from, like, Neumoto who's like,

what the fuck is that quote? It's like, a delayed game is eventually great, but a rush game is never good. or something like that. Pretty much. Yeah.

That's not even the case anymore. Because now, like, a lot of these games, like Rainbow Six Sees is one of those, too, where, like, Rainbow Sees launched horrendously. Like, people hated that game at launch, and it's, like,

I think one of the most played games of all time now. I was convinced to buy it. Yeah, like, it was one of those, they turned it around, fucking, no man Sky, the Master Chief Collection had a huge fucking turnaround.

Oh, really, dude, I was, I was jarred. That game was, that is the worst launch of any game in this decade. Yeah. And they turned it around. they fucking stuck with it and made it a fucking sick package. And now it's like, this is just like becoming a trend now where it's like is I still prefer them releasing games.

Like think of it like this like Metroid Prime got delayed, right? Yeah. I really wanted that game. I recently tweeted how much I hate Pokemon and how I put Metroid Prime as one of the games. It's like this game took a step that no one was going to expect it to do good in and they did fantastic in. I really wanted that game but they delayed it. And I'm like, I'm okay with that. Yeah.

Because if you delay something, that means you care enough to understand. Oh, for sure. Yeah. This is not the best product and I have to make it back. Well, you know, you gotta know how important, like we were just talking. Like, first impressions are like everything. And if your first impression of a game, like, no, like my first impression of No Man's guy is the reason that I haven't gone back to it, even though I know it's good.

Yeah. So, like, you got to have a good, you got to have a good first impression. That's why I was so excited when Doom was delayed. I was like, oh, sick. Yeah. No, I feel. I feel good. I feel good.

I'm a cyberpunk, honestly. Cyberpunk, too. Yeah, I feel good when they delay stuff. And the thing that, that's unfortunate is it's only like the shareholders and and the biggest heads. They're the only reason why things get released unfinished because the directors, they're passionate. Yeah.

The team, they're passionate. They don't want to do this. None of them want to do that. And that's the one thing that, like, as consumers, we also need to realize that. None of them want to do that. Why would anybody, like imagine being a director of a movie. Like, no, why would you want to release something that isn't finished or polished?

Oh, you mean like cats when they released cats when it wasn't finished? Like it's not, that's not, that's not even going to that. But it's just like, but it's not like, it's not like, oh, yeah, let's just do it. That's cool. That's fine. Like, no art, no artist would ever want to do that. So it's always the studio executives and the shareholders that are like, we want to return now. Yeah.

Like, put it out now and fix it later. The problem, too, is that a game is never really done, you know, like, you can't really finish a game. You can. You can. No, you can't. You can finish a game because there's always more that you can do. Always. It's just like any piece of art.

It's like a movie or a song or a, you know, a book or anything. Anything that is creative in nature can never be finished. It can only be, it can really only be abandoned in a state that is respectable. Yeah. Or not respectable. Well, see, I think the only states. Because like if you had, if I was making Doom Eternal and I had like, if I suddenly found out that I had like another year. Let's say like Bethes is like

We're delaying Doom another year And they're like we're finished We're like close to done Then suddenly it's like Okay well what What else can we do now What can we put in here? You know it just never ends

Well see that's that's also That could be like a double-edged sword Because you can also put in something That might ruin some shit Well that's why deadlines are kind of Important The thing is mostly just polish It's like you can be finished with everything

Everything cut out like if you're making a piece You have like a piece of wood And you're sculpting it and then you have time to finish it, but you think you're finished and you're like, what can I do it? Well, maybe just make slight improvements. Make it look slicker, make it look more presentable.

It's relative deadlines. Because think about this. Think of it like an assignment, you know? When you have an assignment, which is a certain amount of time to do it, right? And you need like an understandable amount of time. And then if you ask for more time, that's reasonable, then you should be given it

to be able to perfect a thing. For sure. But if you're rushed and you're like, you're forced like, hey, this needs to be out right now this time, then it usually leads to you not being able to do it correctly, you know? For sure. Yeah.

It's just, it's just common. But also, some of the best shit's made under complete duress. Absolutely. That's some of the best shit. Like, I feel like some of my...

Mele. Meleigh. Halo, those two games are the ones. Halo 2 was made in 11 months. Yeah. Which is insane. That is,

uh, and Malo are two games I consider like... And just, definitely not enough time. Like, when you think about it, like, I feel like, you know, Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 had like an insane amount of crunch,

even though it was in development for a long time. Uh-huh. But it resulted in, like, a fucking masterpiece. Yeah. And like, that's why Rockstar is so good

that they're one of the few companies that just shut the fuck up, get to work for years, and then they're like, oh, hey, by the way, our shit's coming out very soon.

Yeah. And then there's minimal bugs. Like, there's bugs. Yeah, there's barely any. But there's minimal. And even the ones that I had

in like, say, for example, Red Dead 2, I was just laughing my ass on. They weren't detrimental bugs. Yeah. It was just like, you know, a cinematic cutscene

and then my belt, what do you call it? The ammo for the belt, it's just on my head. You know, instead of being around my chest and stuff, it's just, oh, man, I'm just laughing my ass off. Well, it's like, oh, not, it didn't break the game, nothing happened to me. It was just stupid.

I feel yeah. And I'm like, such a big game. And I did. It's insane that the game has as few bugs as it does with how complicated it is. Nothing about. I'm apparently, like, I didn't see any bugs in that game at all, actually. Yeah, I didn't see any bugs in at all. And that game is a lot, a game.

I think there's something too, like, cell shading and that type of, like, style. For breath of the while? Well, it's just, like, in general, with that type of art style, I don't know if there's something to it. It seems like the code is just really basic. And it doesn't fuck, like, like, look at a lot of, like, games that have that type of style to it. Like Skyron. The more realistic a game, the more realistic. I'm talking about art style.

Art style, yeah, okay. The more realistic a game is trying to look, the more. suspect or the more what is it, the more apparent any mistakes are going to be. Yeah. Like a game like control, which is like entirely the aesthetic of that game is photorealism. So like you're in like

really realistic office spaces. And it's supposed to be a trippy kind of game just because they're, everything's, everything looks real, but it's set up in like really trippy ways. But like the second you see something that's, that's not how a computer looks. You're going to notice it.

And it's going to be like, you're just going to be, completely thrown off. Whereas in Zal of the Wild, if the texture glitches on like a mountain or something, you might not even be able to distinguish whether or not

that was supposed to look that way. That's very true. There's so much style in it. That's a really good point. You know, I even noticed that in when I would be looking at the mass effect series, for example, if you look at the aliens,

you'd be like, damn, they look so insanely good. But then you look at the humans, you're like, ah, needs work. Yeah. But it's because of that. Like, you don't know what to expect when you're looking at an alien. So there could be mistakes.

Yeah, you don't know. Okay, I have a question guys real quick. Yeah, okay. Is there a game you guys have played when you were younger that you went back to as an adult? You know, like this game is fucking god awful. Oh, like one that I liked as a cave. Yeah. I've won easily for me. No doubt. You probably know what it is. I probably know what it is. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. I don't know what I love them so much when I was younger. Like I can't put my finger on it. You know what it was for me? Uh, I don't know what it was for me? Uh, I literally look at those games and I'm like, these games are all. Like, I don't know why I loved them so much when I was younger. Like I can't put my finger on it. You know what it was for me? Uh, uh, Well, I never finished any of them, but I got, I think I used a Game Shark to beat the rest of it because I got bored. But I did want to see, I did want to experience all the Disney characters. But me, it was one of those things. It was a theme, man, that dearly beloved shit, that fucking, that piano. Yeah. That thing kind of captivated me. I was like, this gives me such a feeling of, like, just warmth and, and-

Even the music still gets me. The music's still beautiful and stuff like that. But the game is just, overall as a game, it's just garbage. I didn't really, yeah. The whole series, I think it's just, they're just not. Did you play the third one? I played all of them, every last single one. And, like, I loved them when I was younger.

A few of them had, like, really cool story moments, but, like, I can't do it now. I'm just not really, like, that, like, I, I like, mature. Even as a kid, I liked the mature anime stuff. After a while, like, I even, I fell off a Pokemon. Like, I never went, and this is, like, not a dig to anybody. I just, I, I fell off a Pokemon after the Indigo League. And then, um, and then there was just, anime's like, I was watching like Ninja Scroll and I was watching

Giver and I was watching stuff like that. I was watching a Gundam Wing and I did really like Full Metal Alchemist that had a pretty decent blend, you know, the Brotherhood. But there was a lot of things that were more like about wonder and more like for like that was the younger stuff that just didn't capture me and that's

what Kingdom Hearts was to me. It was a very like a younger type of game and then with Disney characters the Disney characters is what made me want to play. I feel yeah. But like the other side to it was kind of like fucking whatever dude like you Chris any game in particular I can't think of a game that I liked when I was a kid that I don't

still like I think I think I always just had a pretty good idea of what appealed to me I the closest thing that I could maybe think was I think I used to like Dead Rising more than I more than I do now like I think if I played Dead Rising again I don't know if I would like it as much just because I feel like the initial impressiveness of how many enemies are on screen in that game is kind of like the main

drive and also just like you know the game was more of the game was fine you know it was definitely like huge for the time but i i don't know like even then i still feel like i would i would like it still at least a little bit i'm sure there's like obscure things that i've played that i'm sure i'd hate now but i can't think of so because i haven't put my hands on it again like um i know there was a game that, there's a PS1 game called Destrega. Destrega was this medieval kind of, it was terrible,

but there was like a ninja, there was some weird anime dude that was like the main protagonist and it had some, just you would shoot projectiles. It was pretty, I had a lot of fun with it, but I imagine if I played it now,

I'd probably think it's the worst thing ever. Like there's definitely, I'm sure there's plenty of games like that that I just haven't had opportunity to get my hands on it again. Yeah, yeah. I just remembered. I just remember. I think I know what it is. Golden I. Gold and I? Golden I used to like a lot. Yeah. And then I got used to playing, you know, FPS's properly. Yeah. Unlike mouse and keyboard or with two joysticks at the very least. And then you go back to playing Golden Eye and it's just fucking awful. And you're just like, I don't know how I managed to play this

game at all, let alone enjoy it. And it's insane how much of a difference, just like getting used to a superior input method will, will, will do for you. I feel you. I do. Gordon and I's way less good now. That made me just, it just reminded me, so there is one, um, uh, black. Oh my God. Black is a great, because I went back and played black and I was like, oh my God, I can't run. Do you like control shadows in that game? No, black. That's dark, I think. Black was like,

I feel like black was like the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, blueprint to modern warfare where I was just like,

all right, cool, here you go, aim down your sight, you know, all this cool. It was, it's an insanely short game.

It's way too short. It was on the PS2, I remember, and the cover was so cool because it was just black and had a bunch of bullets all over it. I remember that game.

Yeah. And the thing is, when I went back and played it, it's so frustrating because you can't, you just walk. You're walking. faster. You want to shoot, you want to playing that game, it's like being

in fucking mud compared to all the other shooters that have come out. So that was very frustrating to play. And I don't think I can play it again, because there's some, I love the nostalgia I'll play this again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love the nostalgia playing old games again. It's refreshing. Yeah. I'm so beyond excited for Doom for similar reasons. I mean, I have

like so much nostalgia for Doom, even just 2016. But yeah, like, I was playing old school Doom and that's, like, it was still charming. Yeah, it was also fast as shit. Yeah, it's, it's much, Dude, Doom is much faster than black, for example. Like, you know, that's what, like, really upset me about playing that game. I was like, this is so fucking slow.

I remember just being, this is badass. And, no, it's really hard to play. But, yeah, Doom, man. Doom is one of those games that, like, say, a lot of times I would criticize when I was younger, FPSs for being kind of too slow because I guess some people, I don't know if they motion sickness. I don't know what their problem was. I felt like I could do more

and a lot of over the shoulder because the person's just kind of flipping and you're watching them do shit you're watching them maneuver and stuff and I would always be like all right I gotta play model warfare I got to put my the sensitivity up all the way

so I can move faster and shit I'm like when I'm playing Doom I feel right I feel like I can do so much and there's so many things coming at me at different and I'm like kind of just calculating like all right I got to shoot here

I got to throw these grenades here I got to do this and I got to do that. And I love that feeling of feeling like a complete God. Like just like a badass that can just, I really feel like. And it's earned. It doesn't feel like it's just handed to you. Yeah, I like doing it a lot.

It's somebody, I'm totally stealing this because somebody put it really well. They were like, doom is blood and guts with brains. Okay. I fucking loved that. Okay. I loved that description. That's a great. That's totally, totally right.

Perfect. Because it is a like, it's a pretty smart game. Like, the way it's design is like super, like intelligent. It really is. And, uh, I'm, I'm pumped as shit. I'm worried, I'm worried beyond belief for Halo because I, ah, ah, ah, that's a bad sign, man. Don't worry about this. This is, this is, this be happy to become.

And I get it's like, it's like a next generation thing, so they're probably keeping a lot of that shit under wraps. We haven't seen anything from PS5 either, so I guess, I get it. But it's, it's the year. Show me something. I'm getting upset. I'm getting angry. Okay, get angry if you see nothing around E3. Yeah, that would be ridiculous.

That's the deadline. I can't even imagine that. If they do that, I'm just leaving. By then I'll have Doom already, so I'll be fine. Yeah. Because I know that that game's going to be great. For me, I'm really going to go. It's about the Super Switch.

The Switch. Yeah, the Switch. If that happens? It's going to happen. So it always works like that. It's always like the regular one. Then let's make it smaller. Then let's make it bigger and stronger.

Let's make that one smaller. Yeah. That is typically the way it goes. So it's going to be that. That needs to be like, that needs to be worth me buying it. There you go. Yeah. Because I'm going to want it, but I want it to be worth. I want to be 100% like, oh, I need to get this one. This one is truly better than what I have. The switch is in an interesting place because it's so weak. It's so fucking weak. It's weak. It's fine. It does what it does. Well, the problem is like the next generation of console is definitely going to be like way stronger. 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 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. They were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely from where it claimed to be, in this case, my closet. 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.

Yeah, don't worry about it. So don't sweat it. I've got myself a little Google Doc full of them. Packed to the brim.

Spilling over Just some My cup runneth over with questions God help you Over Most the All right so we got ice What is this?

Ice Hot 1 Wrote in Ice Hot Hey I remember some black guy On Instagram saying That he likes melodic death metal I really like that genre too The Black Dahlia

The Black Dahlia murder And Shadow of Intent Are really good by the way Shadow of Intent Is that a band? Yeah There's... There's a lot of bands with interesting names like that.

Wait, Shadow of Intent is a band. Yeah, just like Amon of Marth is a band. That's the name of Arbiter's Ship. Really? That's really weird. Yeah, just like, yeah, there's a lot of, well, keep on, sorry. Yeah, anyway. Says, can you name some of your favorite bands in that genre?

What about Chris and Sweeney? Are you guys into any kind of metal? Like, the furthest I've gotten into metal is literally Mick Gordon's soundtrack for Doom. Like, I'm not really that. I mean, that's pretty, that's fucking metal, dude. That's definitely, it's good as shit. shit very heavy it's electric metal which is even fucking because that's what I like

about it because I'm not a huge fan of metal it's almost like industrial metal it's like it's like metal with tech with like tool it's yeah it's very industrial and then also there's a genre that's called gent and it's an automotapia of like say just basically

when you tune your guitar all the way down to like drop G or F it like it's just it just jump don't so it's gent is like the the automotopia of it and so So he's basically eight strings and dropped all down.

So that's what it's kind of like that genre. And it's so even going back to Skyrim for a second, I just put the fucking the Doom soundtrack, Doom 2016 on Skyrim. So anytime you get in the combat, like you'd just be like da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. It would be like, this is so. It's so intense. That makes that game even better.

It was really good. It was really good. But yeah, there's melodic death metal is my favorite. favorite genre because it's, I love metal. And I always tell people, get a hold of, like, instrumentals, because instrumentals, you can really enjoy the instrumentals, because a lot of time, the people are just turned off by the, the extreme vocals. Like, a lot of people, like, they don't really like screaming.

That's my, that's the reason why I don't like the middle, but I love, I love, like, fucking, like, heavy instruments. Yeah. I think that's why I, like, do them so much. It's just that. Exactly. It's just the melody and just intensity. And pretty much every, and that's one of the things that, that's what usually gets

a lot of people into it first is when they don't. hear that shit and then they hear like just how insanely talented these people are and the type of stuff that they come up with and the dude already dropped the black dolly murder which is definitely one of my favorite bands but uh amana marth is one that there are these uh guys from us sweden and they're just their music is so it's so good this it's because when you have these two guitars and a lot of times one's just playing this this riff that it can just very melodic it just kind of gives you a lot of emotion and then you're playing a lead over it and it just feels you, it just takes you on a ride

more than like anything else does because there's just a regular genre of death metal that's like a lot of time this shit's really gross and heavy and then like the old school people would just talk about disemboweling bodies and shit. The type of stuff that you say is the stuff they sing about. That sounds fucking fire

actually. It's pretty crazy. The shit I say is what death metal people are saying. That's pretty much but yeah the melodic stuff it's just it's so much so much better. There's a band called them at the gates. That's another band.

It's just like, I could show you, like, these people, like, look up these bands and maybe even try to find an instrumental from them so you can just,

like, you don't have to plug your ears when they're screaming their asses off. But, but yeah, carcass. I could go on for a long time, but those bands that I just kind of mention right now are probably,

like, my favorite ones. Right. So, yeah, there's your, there's your, there's your, there's your, and good on you for,

like, in melodic death metal. Yeah, yeah, I like, I like, I like, I like a lot. Because it's just like it's punk, but oh, there's actually a fucking song here.

Yes, I agree. And then soul music is just melodic naturally. And that's like my fucking, that's like my vice. I love soul music. Any form of it. That's the thing. If I can have like a really emotional chorus and that's the big biggest, usually the biggest difference in all of that stuff. Like you said, melodic punk and melodic hard chords are my favorite things.

Just kind of an evolution from punk. And then it's just really fast. But then they start like singing their asses off. Like in chorus isn't usually. And it's like beautiful. And there's just great guitar melody. They're just like this sounds great and the base is all the base always it's a lot of it's good It's a lot of it's good stuff yeah I think that was the main reason why I liked rise against

I was a kid so much it was like oh this is like punk but there's like a song here Yeah there's like and I could like turn yeah rage against the machine it'd be they'd be rapping and I'd be like this is weird Well maybe the machine was like weird because what raging is like rap rock kind of but like I almost don't consider them rap rock they are people they are they totally rap rock but like I don't know it's like almost insulting because like when you you you I feel like Rage Against the Machine is so much objectively better than Limp Biscuit or like... Oh, yeah. You know, any... Even not to be like a dickhead.

Yeah, I think that's fair. Like a very hip-hop flow. Well, Lincoln... Rage is different. Lincoln Park is like, I would say, iconic. Like Lincoln Park has like a lot of songs that like... I like Lincoln Park a lot, actually. Oh, yeah.

But even some of their, like, more recent stuff that I don't really think is that great. Like, I like Castle Glass. I respect them. That's one of my favorite songs. Like that album, it came on 2012 of Living Things. is one of their best albums they made. A lot of people remember the old stuff, but there's an evolution.

Even the guy Mike Shinoda, the rapper, he started singing on it. He started singing on Castle Glass, too. His rapping has improved tenfold because it's been years. Like, when you hear him, like, his cadence and, like, some of the stuff that he's saying, a lot of the old shit,

it's like in that era of new metal where everything was fucking cheesy, like limp biscuit. Like, I always, and I was never an angsty teenager. I like the music because I liked how it sounded But when I would hear like say I didn't understand how crawling That shit didn't mean anything to me

Crawling in my skin these wounds They will not heal Like that shit didn't mean anything to me I didn't feel like it It wasn't like I like it because it made me feel like emotionally It was like oh this is hilarious Yeah That's exactly what I'm talking about

It sounds so good There was a there was that one song One Step closer And in the bridge He just keeps saying shut up when I'm talking to you Yeah And I'm used to listening to fucking like Exhibit and shit

You know, and I'm listening to like this. So I'm like, this is the weakest shut up. He's like, shut up when I'm talking to you. Exhibit within, uh, featuring within temptation or whatever. Yeah, it's definitely, yeah. It is fun. Like that, that, that course isn't, that bridge, it's the bridge, right? Where you goes, shut up.

Yes, yeah, then the bridge, shut up, but I'm talking to you, shut up. And I'll just like, it makes you feel amped, if anything. It's like, I like what it, I like the energy. I, what, what he's saying. And it's, it's like one of the most cheesiest things. And I like that Anthony Fantano made a video about this. New metal bands that he can't believe he used to like. Because Anthony Fantano was an angsty teenager.

You can even see the pictures of him with the Mohawk and just looking on misunderstood and shit. So I liked all the bands that he mentioned. But I, like say, disturbed had the song, their most famous song, Down with the Sickness. Now, in the bridge of that song, the bridge especially, it's a domestic violence thing. Like, no, mommy, don't do it.

again, I'll be a good boy. And then he like gets revenge on her. It's like a bridge of just, it's the cringiest thing you will ever hear in your entire life. There's nothing cringier in it. I guarantee you. It's disgusting. I haven't heard that song in a long time. I watched Dawn of the Dead and that's at the end of Dawn of the Dead.

Oh, that's sick, dude. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, no, the combination of those two is sick. Like, definitely but like. 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, 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, 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.

I appreciate the music. Like I said, the lyrics, even Slipknot when my mom, she probably thought I was going to be like a disturbed kid because I printed out the lyrics to a song called Disaster Piece by Slipknot. I know that song.

Yeah. And the song starts off. The first fucking thing it says is, I want to slit your throat and fuck the wound. You know? That's the first thing it says. And I remember I printed those lyrics out. The reason why I printed out Slipknot lyrics is because Corey Taylor is a very smart individual.

And words that he would use, I didn't know. I didn't know what Wormwood was. Wormwood. I didn't know what thermaledaide was. I didn't know there are certain things that I learned by listening. So I printed them out so I can be like, I feel smarter now. But I never felt like, I'm a disturbed person. person and I want to, you know, rage on.

I just, I was never, or they called their fans maggots. And I was like, I'm not a maggot, dude. I'm sorry. I'm just, I'm just a nigga that likes metal. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I feel you. Yeah, I don't think I've ever felt comfortable adopting a name for myself. That's like a fan of something.

Yeah. It's just like, I know I like some records that these people make sometimes. Can we have fans? Can we, can we give our, can we get, um, the Sweenerones? The Sweenerones. I call my fans on Twitter, the Sweenies or the Sweenies. The people on Twitch have named themselves laser babies. Laser babies?

Yeah. Oh, because of the Raygun. Yeah. Okay, okay. Which is horrifying. Sweenerinos? Is that what you said? Sweenerinos, yeah.

God help you. I want to, oh, look, this is the best thing ever. This is real. This is real. It doesn't have to do with me, but it's, so Dark Souls, their fucking page on Facebook, they try to give their fans, like a fandom kind of thing. And they called them Darkies. Oh my God

I was ahead of him I thought of something different But like darkies is better I was better than what I thought What did you think The niggas It's not even close I mean it's not even close

But like it's You know what That'd be like a hack Oh my god Dude darkies is fantastic That's astounding that they did that They actually did that Shadow people

It's just I don't know man Like anybody who's like I'm a I'm a my chemical romanceer or whatever the fuck. Like, I just don't understand. I just, the idea of, like,

finding identity in yourself by associating with just one person or one group of people who make music. Or make media. It's just so, such a strange thing. It's, like, I understand being, like,

a huge fan of a genre. Like, that's a huge, that's understandable to me. Because music is, like, super, you know, uh, what's the, like,

super involving in, like, how you develop and, like, what you, It's super important from a character trait, from a character trait standpoint. But like just entirely just basing off of a single band or like a single artist. Imagine meeting, like, talking to people who are like super interested in rap or something. And somebody's like, yeah, I'm a, I'm a Jay Cole fan. And that's it.

I only listen to Jay Cole. I'm a Coal. I'm a Coal. I'm a Coalie. I'm a colon. It's like, what the fuck is wrong with it? That is weird. It's just so weird.

That obsessive. know, it's definitely more of like a rock era thing. Like people would like, they would identify themselves as like this. No, I think it's like a pop thing. It's pop definitely too. It's definitely taken over and pop to where, uh, the thing that comes to mind is, uh, uh, little monsters or monsters, I think from Lady Gaga. And Beliebers. Believers. I forgot about that.

Fucking, um, there's so many of them. I mean, K-pop is another monster though. I don't even, let's not even talk about that. Yeah, we, I mean, we're not going to, we're not going to. Don't even bring them up. Don't even don't you dare. You don't like K-pop? You're a fan of K-pop?

Don't even summon them here. You're not welcome here. They'll come here and they'll be like Kobe Bryant's dead and it'll be a gif of like some Asian girl dancing on stage. That's what they always do. Exactly. They always, shut up, shut up. You're ruining the audio. I'm going to kill you and I will make it slow.

They will always go on Twitter and they'll be like someone's dead and then they'll like, go like RIP this person or like those. comments on a tragedy and under the tweet they'll just they'll just paste this gif of some k-pop singer dancing or strutting and it's like what are you doing and that's so sad it's like oh yeah i just need to use kobe bryant's tragic death to advertise my favorite k-pop band you know it's fucked up because that you know that's happening right now i'm sure i'm sure i've already seen it today you already saw it i've already seen it oh my god just this not summon them keep them where they are i mean i mean I think the Pandora's box has already been open, man.

I think it's already been open. I can't do it. Look, man. Look, man. I can't do it. I, yeah, you know what's funny? Because I have a friend that she says she's not a K-pop stand. However, her avie on Twitter is a K-pop person. All she talks about is K-pop, but she says she's not a stand.

And I'm like, what do you consider a stand? Like, what is, like, what do you become one? The people that you consider stand, what do they do? they actually murder people listen to the song and then you'll know the i think um i don't know man like when i'm on my flight here actually when i was coming home from new york yeah i was sitting next to this woman who was like a k-pop person and i knew that only because like i would be bored on the plane i would occasionally peer over to her phone and it was just k-pop shit her Twitter account was like the K-pop profile picture.

I was like, I felt distinctly unsafe. Like, this is danger. Like, she had coronavirus and she was like spitting directly into my heart. Like, I felt like this was it. She spat into yourselves. Yeah. She opened you up, found one of

yourselves, your fucking nucleus. She spat into it. She spat on the back of my eyes. That's so weird. Okay, so are we, our listeners, are they tankies? What are they? Tankies? Tanky. I think tank is a thing. Snarkies?

Is it? I think tankie's a thing. I think it means communist. Oh, shit. Hold on. Let me look it up. That's even more dope. That's even better.

No, that's even better. I like free health care. Hey, let me look it up real quick. Yeah, so a tankie is a pejorative reference to hardline pro-soviet members of the Communist Party of Great Britain. Wow. Tankie or tankies may also refer to the tankies, a nickname of the Royal Tank Regiment. So that's just like literally a tank battalion in the British Army. Oi, tankies.

We the tankies, mate. The snarkies. The snarkies. The snarkies. Sounds vaguely racist for some reason. Snarkies? Something about that. Maybe it's just too similar to darkies.

Oh, my God. I didn't even put that together. See what you did? No, no. Listen, before, okay, so before we got to, we just got to leave. Otherwise, this is going to be a bad time. We're going to have Korean pop stars descending upon us. Like, fucking raindrops from the hell.

Heavens. We'll come out with them. We'll come out blazing with tanks. The tank is versus the... You guys will be there for the whole time. Argue amongst yourselves what you will be called because I can't be fucked to come up with this shit. So that was this episode. We'll see you next week.

Look at that, huh? We're actually sticking to this. I bet all of you guys were surprised. Everybody was like, ew, Chris is uploading consistently gross. Well, fuck you. I win. Thank you, guys. We appreciate it.
