Starting point is 00:01:11 Whoa there, fellows. Crazy. Welcome. Welcome to the Snark Tank podcast. It's me, Chris. And I'm here with Sweeney. Derek couldn't make it. Actually, some crazy shit.
Starting point is 00:01:25 I think... For real. Like, it's not even fake this time. Yeah. Something wild's happening, and he can't make it. That's all we could say. Yeah, yeah, we won't get too into it. But I'm pretty sure who's exposed to 10.
Starting point is 00:01:37 thousand liquid gallons of chlorine gas so he's getting his skin like you know put back onto his skeleton and he's gonna be a cyborg now he's not gonna be a regular dude so yeah we prepared to see fucking niggerborg derrick soon yeah he should be fine like uh we'll we'll figure we'll figure it out when we get uh it's sort of for next week but in the meantime it's gonna be just a Chris Reagan and Sween affair There's gonna be a lot of destiny A lot of nerd shit A lot of comic book stuff
Starting point is 00:02:09 So It's the Puerto Rican podcast today Yeah actually Yeah We own the place now We own the place There's so few of us Anywhere but New York
Starting point is 00:02:18 I know In Florida But we own the place I still can't believe Like one of the When I first got here One of the first interactions I had with a girl here
Starting point is 00:02:26 Was I've never seen one in person That's so great Well we're from We're from we're from the Bronx, New York. So, you know, we're, we're over exposed to Puerto Rican Americans. No, but it's just, like, I would never say that about, like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Oh, that's definitely like a little racist. Like, that's like a little like, whoa, I've never seen one of you guys. It was, it reminded me of when I first, when we first moved to Glendale. And I was like, I was thinking about it. And I was like, I don't think I've ever met an Armenian. There aren't very many Armenians in. New York from what I recall. They're in a city.
Starting point is 00:03:04 They're in a city, actually. There's a small community in New York City in Manhattan. There's like a good amount of Armenians over there. But they're not like the Armenians that are in Glendale. Right. Because like everything in New York, you just get swept away by the tide and you become a New Yorker more or less. You still hold your culture from wherever you are, but like you're more or less
Starting point is 00:03:22 from New York. So the Armenians you probably met, there are probably some Italians you met that were Armenian. Maybe. You just thought they were, you just thought they were something else. Yeah, that's possible. But what I'm saying is like I would never walk up to an Armenian in Glendale and be like, huh, I'm not sure I've met one of you before. Because you're taught manners when you were a little.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I was going to say that someone's face. Yeah. But anyway, this is the Snark Tank podcast. I want to open up with something that somebody wrote in with Connor King, because in the credits for the last episodes, we learned that there was another Connor King who challenged the other Conner King. who challenged the other Connor King do a fight or like some kind of fisticuff, some kind of melee or brouhaha might ensue. So Connor King wrote in,
Starting point is 00:04:10 Chris, please open the show by telling the other Connor King that I accept his challenge. So you guys, maybe do like a... This is getting wavy, guys. This is getting kind of crazy, you know? This kind of reminds me of like that whole... You remember that Facebook like...
Starting point is 00:04:22 The Evans? The Josh thing, I think. The Josh thing, that's what it was. We're all the Josh's faced off in like some park and then like some little child Josh one. Yeah, a kid, Josh, it's victorious. It's a good thing they didn't go with, like, any theming with that. Like, they didn't go, like, Drake's versus Josh's.
Starting point is 00:04:39 And then that picture would have been, like, super awkward. Well, you know, some people have foresight. Forsight is a real thing. Yeah. I definitely believe. Some people can, like, sense, like, this is going to age poorly. And then those Joshes knew to get away from all the drakes. There's no drakes.
Starting point is 00:04:57 No drakes. No more drakes. except for the one suspiciously texting Millie Bobby Brown when she's 14 years old anyway hey
Starting point is 00:05:08 I keep out of that hey listen I'm not saying anything I'm just recording a fact just a quick little thing that it should you know it's not necessarily important
Starting point is 00:05:20 but it should be noted we're moving soon like proper like this is in the next like episode or two. We might be in a different place.
Starting point is 00:05:33 We might be, I might be on the other side of the country. So just. They're coming up next week. We're going to let you guys know right now. Maybe next week or the week after we might not be able to do a cast. Maybe. Because there's moving happening. Me and my friend Joe are trying to secure a place right now.
Starting point is 00:05:49 And then Chris is heading back east. So we might have a bit of a hiccup. We want to let you guys know that as soon as possible. within the scheduling, but as soon as that's over with, we'll be right back on schedule with every weekly, daily, by-daily podcast, man. All right, let's calm down, no by-daily podcast. A podcast a day, dude. All right, well, he'll do that.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Podcast a day, every day a podcast, bro. But yeah, no, moving across. It might be like five-minute-long podcast every day. That would be so stupid. Oh, my God. But, yeah, so, I don't know, like, moving's always a bitch, so we appreciate. your guys' patience on that front. Come September though, everything should be fucking...
Starting point is 00:06:32 September should be smooth sailing like nobody's business. But... Anyway, that's really all I wanted to get into before we started. Let's start off on something. I don't know, did you see this Twitter thread that was like going around about this white woman cooking noodles? Did you not see this? No.
Starting point is 00:06:52 So there was this thing... By the way, not much has happened, but I'm sure tomorrow some quick crazy shit's going to happen and we're going to be like something kind of crazy happened not exactly but sort of wait what happened us pulling out of what you call it afghanistan ah that's kind of crazy but like not really that's not a big deal it is though it is but at the same time like so we yeah we did pull out of afghanistan and the taliban swooped in and immediately like immediately like literally within hours it was like you know what it reminded me of it's like that archetypal you know what it's like that archetype in like writing or like just like general storytelling of like the guy best friend who's
Starting point is 00:07:33 just kind of like there you know and then like America's like I'm done and then like immediately it's like yo I'm here yo what's up the guy gets dumped or a guy goes missing for a little bit and then the best friend swoops in and fucks the girl yeah yeah literally that it's insane yeah dude I think Kabul I think is how you pronounce it Kabul like the the place like the head of oh yeah I think it's Kabul. I don't know how to pronounce it, but the main, like, what are the capital of Afghanistan, whatever the fuck you want to call it, got swooped in immediately, like, I think within the runtime of like a standard sitcom episode, like within 22 minutes,
Starting point is 00:08:13 they were just already under Taliban control. It was like, it was fucking crazy. But that is crazy and that is happening. It's just a matter of just like... Fatigue with the whole situation? Has this been going on for 20 years? Yeah, like we should have left so, so much. long ago, so much longer ago, it's insane. And then people are like, look, I don't defend Biden ever,
Starting point is 00:08:35 really. Like, I don't like him. I think he sucks. But the idea that like, oh man, Biden really fucked this up. It's like, no, like the real fuck up is the fact that we were there for this long in the first place. Like, we could have pulled out at any point. And by the way, anytime that we would have pulled out in the last like 20 years, this would have happened anyway, because that government is a house of cards. Like, we were just literally. just, it was like, you know those Lego exhibits? Where they have like these big like, you know, intricately crafted things. They look really impressive.
Starting point is 00:09:07 And then like all the adults decided to stop working there. And they were like, ah, I'm not getting paid enough. I'm bored. I'm leaving. And then all the kids just went, what's that? And fucking just pulled it apart. Like pulled pork, bro. Like it's all gone. And I think they said something like this morning where like I, I read a headline said Taliban spokesperson says, which is, by the way, amazing that that's even a sentence. But Taliban spokesperson says they will institute.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Guarantee women rights. Yeah. Yes, good. Women rights under the limits of Islam. Within the bounds of Sharia law, they said. Oh, my God. Which is awesome. The simple fact, look, look, look, okay, look, look.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I am a sunshine and rainbows kind of guy. I think we should help when we need, when places need it, you know. But as a realist, looking at the Middle East, I don't think America has the resources to truly help that place. Especially in the current age, we just can't help them. We just, we can't. We have the resources to do pretty much anything. It's just we don't. And we, and the way that I always, the way that I always saw it was just like, if you want to go.
Starting point is 00:10:25 and like do nation building and like help other populations. That's really all well and cool. We don't do that though. We just sort of like going and fuck shit up. But even if we were to do that, actually like authentically try to help other countries and other populations in like third world countries or like countries that are war torn and ravaged and whatever,
Starting point is 00:10:45 we still have like so many homeless people here, you know, and like veterans here who aren't assisted. And just like, I think like some crazy. And like one in one. and dude like three and five people live paycheck to paycheck. And like, I think people don't have health care. Like we just don't. We don't have the time.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Yeah. To give a fuck about anywhere else right now. It's like, I hate that because I'm a foreigner by blood, you know? Like in my blood, I am a person whose family's not from the country of the US. They're not from the Americas, you know? So I get like how much America sending jobs and showing up and like doing whatever they're doing helps out, but we are heading towards a very bad situation really fast.
Starting point is 00:11:30 It's just for me, it's just you can't, if you got two broken legs, you can't carry somebody out of a burning building. You know, so it's exactly it's just get your own house in order, make sure you're healthy, make sure you're fucking doing what you need to do for your people, and then, even then, I would argue, still kind of focus on that. But if at that point you decide, all right, let's help. Fair enough, but we're not doing that. It's a waste of fucking time.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Like, the infrastructure of the United States is a fucking joke. It's hilarious. Bridges are just like falling like all the time. It's ridiculous. The roads are just broken and bashed and beat it in. Yeah. How you can't, bro, the venture of me trying to find on a, I'm not doing bad. I'm not doing amazing, but I'm not doing bad financially.
Starting point is 00:12:21 The venture of trying to find affordable housing for me, It's crazy, dude. Yeah, it's ridiculous. It's nuts, bro. In California, two-em apartment is like $2,700 a month. Yeah. That is stupid. That is not a sound amount of money.
Starting point is 00:12:38 But Sweeney, why don't you just live in Kansas? Oh, live in Kansas. Yeah, dude. I actually could. I'd have a girlfriend who's in California. That's the reason why I'm still here. I'd live in a Midwest and a heartbeat, actually. I don't think I could.
Starting point is 00:12:50 I could do very specific places. I could do maybe Montana, maybe Ash, New Shville, North Carolina. And like... I could do fucking... I could do Tennessee. I could do fucking... I could live in a city or a suburb any fucking way.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I wouldn't be caught dead in Tennessee. Like, I could not be caught dead. The problem is I grew up in New York and then I moved to California. And those are like the most United States states that there are really. Like that's, I think, like, when people think of a, like, first world America. That's usually what they think of. They think of, like, Los Angeles, like Hollywood. they think of like fucking, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:26 New York City and like Wall Street. They're not really thinking of like, I don't know, Main Street and like fucking Ohio or anything. Like for me is like I just, I've, I lived upstate New York and that's pretty much a suburb. That's like the suburb of suburbs.
Starting point is 00:13:42 So I could live anywhere. The thing is like upstate New York is, is that. Upstate New York is the Ohio is like Pennsylvania is And that's perfect. That's just livable. I hated it.
Starting point is 00:13:58 I am not a kid anymore. So like I can go do wherever. Like I'm no longer bound like I driver's license got you know cars I can get a car. Do you actually have a driver's license? I well I have one. I just don't own one. If that makes sense. I don't have my IDs.
Starting point is 00:14:15 How have you not gotten that? You lost. Hold on. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Kingston.
Starting point is 00:14:22 You lost your. ID a month and a half ago, I think? In June. You lost your fucking ID in June and you haven't gotten it replaced? It's fine. You're out of your mind. It's fine, dude. I'm chilling.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Am I dead yet? My God, yet is the key. Am I dead yet? They're not gonna kill me. How are you, how, wait, how have you been able to look for apartments with no ID? Password. Oh, your passport? I have a state ID.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I said have a state ID. Okay. I just don't have my proper. identification like it's not in my wall. You should get that. Someone runs up on me. Yeah. I'm gonna get fucked.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Yeah, that's a bad situation. I don't know. Like the way that I think about it is like I, I hated being in like the woods in a state that is particularly like urban, you know, that is like, hey, you know, like we're not that far from the city. And I still felt like completely isolated from civilization. It would be really rough. Like, I don't know if I could do it.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I'm fine. I'm fine, bro. I'm fine, bro. I'm fine, bro. What if... I don't get to shit? Would you live in like Hawaii? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yeah? You're surrounded by the ocean though. I can't in Hawaii. I thought you hated the ocean. I probably wouldn't want to because of the volcanoes. 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.
Starting point is 00:15:52 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, 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.
Starting point is 00:16:27 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.
Starting point is 00:16:42 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.

When the big, when the big earthquake in L.A. happens, Hawaii's gone. Like, it's just. God Hawaii's up you know is it gonna go up Hawaii is up what do you mean yeah
Starting point is 00:17:57 California's here Hawaii California's like here and Hawaii's like here and then Japan's like there like down what like Hawaii's further from Hawaii's further up like it's more northern than California is that cannot be real it is how it is what do you mean it right like what you can look at like to look at the map of the world Hawaii is a little more northern than California is. Is it really? Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:29 It is. This is what every episode of us just together it turns into. It's just on Guku looking up shit. Yeah, Hawaii is slightly north. Slightly north compared to America. That's not what I'm seeing. It is. It's like south by a lot.
Starting point is 00:18:46 No way. The map I'm seeing says it's pretty fucking south. Right now I'm seeing... If you type like... globe map Hawaii. Oh no, no, you're right. You're definitely right. Yeah, like it's fucking...
Starting point is 00:18:59 You're definitely right. You're definitely right, yeah. Yeah, because like the Hawaii, I think is... It's not very far north. It's like, it's like, it's like, California's all right here. And Hawaii's like over, like, right over just to the side. Bro, Hawaii's like super south. Am I seeing...
Starting point is 00:19:15 This has to be Hawaii. What are you seeing? Yeah, it's like right. It's like the northern part of Mexico. And then you go to the left a bit. And that's Hawaii. Hawaii is parallel like as like with Cancun it looks like It's with Cancun is in Cancun south or southern Mexico
Starting point is 00:19:34 Look I can't this is gonna I'm having an aneurysm I think Look we don't know about geology yeah we're not we're not we're not learn Geology correctly yeah yeah we're not geographists Geographis whatever Let's start off with uh We just just get into questions, I guess. Because there's actually a lot. And I feel like they'll carry.
Starting point is 00:20:01 And like Afghanistan was really the big thing. Like I had some things. Like there's like some stupid threat about some lady getting mad about some white woman writing a book about noodles and like some games difficulty conversation that was like really annoying and really dumb. The game difficulty one is how do you actually feel about that though? Because I kind of agree there should be like I understand that people want easier games. but some games are difficult by nature, you know? Right. Like you're not going to get an easy Dark Souls
Starting point is 00:20:28 and that's not really a Dark Souls game, you know? Right. I think that there is... I don't think that you can force a game to be for you if it's not for you. Like if you're... Like, if I asked like, man, I wish Bungy would have made a halo
Starting point is 00:20:47 where you don't shoot. Like, well, then you just want a different... You just don't want to play that game then, and that's fine. Like, you don't have to. It's, there's plenty of other, there's so many video games now. And there will always continuously be more video games. You know what I mean? Like, every moment that you say this is the best time to play video games is true,
Starting point is 00:21:07 because time is linearly moving forward, and there are always more. So, like, to me, it's just like, just play something that you want to play. Like, I understand, like, the accessibility thing. Like, I think accessibility options are cool, like, you know, colorblind mode. and like, like, you know, I don't know. I agree. Yeah, and I think that's cool. And I think I appreciate games like Tomb Raider
Starting point is 00:21:29 that actually had like a... Tomb Raider actually like was one of the first instances of a game that I saw that had this, but like they had different difficulty sliders for exploration, combat, and puzzles. So you could slide puzzles all the way down if you just didn't give a shit about that nonsense, which I hate. I hate puzzles.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Unless it's like portal where that's the point, I hate... I hate playing like an uncharted game where I'm like going like exploring this ancient tomb. And then all of a sudden it's like these ancient people built a door that somehow moves with rocks. And it's like that's possible. That's not impossible, dude. I've never seen it. So that's not impossible.
Starting point is 00:22:10 You've never, you don't go. You don't go to archeoical digs and like, ah, let me go explore these things. They might exist. They don't. They don't. They don't. And here's how I know they don't. You know how I know they don't?
Starting point is 00:22:23 Because in order for those to work, that means that they had mechanisms that opened doors with like keys basically electronically without any electricity. Which would be way... It's not electronically. What are you doing? It's more or less like lever systems, like levers and pulleys and shit. And we've had those for fucking centuries, you know? If that was really possible, that would be the way every door opens because it's a lot. No.
Starting point is 00:22:49 And I mean more. Because those doors are fucking obsolete When we got doors and metal latches That just simply do the trick I don't know like you know Like oh I don't know what a temple I can't even I've seen like Chechnisa Like the time one of the Mexican temples
Starting point is 00:23:03 And like even seeing that I'm like I don't understand how to fuck people built this Like I don't get it There's no temple that exists where like you shine You take like ooh the light is coming The light is coming in that's what I'm talking about though Like this is like ridiculous puzzle design That just like takes me out of it entirely
Starting point is 00:23:19 because I'm like, oh, this is clearly, like, that is the point where it just becomes like, oh, a video game designer made this. And it's just so, it's like when, it's like when you play a third person shooter and you walk into a big room and there's a bunch of chest high walls. It's like, oh, I'm going to fight things in here. Yeah. We were actually talking about this kind of like recently. Like we were, because I'm playing a plague tale right now on PlayStation. And I walked into this like conversational space where like it was just like narrative stuff like characters talking. And then I noticed two body bags that are usually used to feed rats.
Starting point is 00:23:55 And I'm like, oh, that's there. And I know that's there. So I know that this is going to be a combat encounter. So I'm like kind of like not really paying attention to the story because I know it's just going to get interrupted any second. I agree. And well, I can still pay attention to it. But I just like, how to explain? When we play games, we play games in this.
Starting point is 00:24:15 We play games to beat the game sometimes. and that's problematic. That turns into a problematic way of focusing on games. Because, like, while I'm playing, like, I streamed me playing like Baldur's Gay and shit like that. And people are like, wow, sweet. You're like, this is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay.
Starting point is 00:24:39 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 person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee. They weren't just
Starting point is 00:25:24 listing my items. They were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely from where it claimed to be, in this case, my closet.

Starting point is 00:26:04 Depending on certain loan attributes, your business loan may be issued by On Deck or Saltic Bank. OnDec does not lend in North Dakota, all loans an amount subject to lender approval. You're like not falling for anything. And I'm like, oh, because when I play video games, I'm like, all right, this game is my opponent. It's not I'm having fun in his experience It's like I'm trying to fuck this dude up Whoever this dude being a game So and like that like But you gotta not see games
Starting point is 00:26:28 For like you walk in like There's a bunch of chess high bags Wow, this is a corner This seems like a place where you take cover This seems like a place where you'd like draw people That's not exactly high supposed to view games Right But it's hard once you've done that forever
Starting point is 00:26:42 Once you've played Destiny trials For fucking years And like you go on Halo like competitive It's hard to snap your brain out of like, I know exactly what the fuck I'm doing, and I know what I'm doing here. Yeah, there are some games that do like, honestly, like actually, to be real, I think the
Starting point is 00:26:55 last of us two actually did a good job of, like, having, like, those rooms with chest high walls without it actually feeling like, oh, it's, this is like meant for combat, because they did a good job of making the places feel, like, actually like, the way they might be. So that's something that I would,
Starting point is 00:27:12 like, I hate that game, mostly. But, like, I would say, like, ah, you know, it's pretty solid, like, design like combat spaces and like arenas. I guess. I personally I'm not saying, I'm not saying I'm not saying it was fun. I'm not saying I had a beautiful time
Starting point is 00:27:27 but I there were moments where I was like oh I didn't expect this to be a combat arena you know and I was like I appreciated that because that's actually hard to do. That game makes me really mad so I don't know. But it just took too damn long but dude yeah like if you're if you're asking for like
Starting point is 00:27:43 easy modes in like Sekiro or like Dark Souls or something like I just don't that's not meant for you. Like, there's not even really any story there that would be like, that would shine brighter in the absence of challenge. Yeah, that's just not one of those things, you know. You're not playing Sekaro for like, oh, super cool encounters where I really like the characters I mean, like, nah, bro, you're playing, you're playing a Souls game to see, like, how good
Starting point is 00:28:07 you are at, like, learning mechanics on a fly or how good you are getting beat the fuck up. You know, like, you're not really doing that for just really cool encounters. Like Red Dead, I guess Red Dead is one of those games where I could deserve an easy mode because it's such a long narrative. Or like Witcher maybe. Yeah, but that's the thing that those games do. That's what I'm saying. It's like, it's kind of confusing because like a lot of the games that like people are talking about, like things. It's like, I just want a cool story.
Starting point is 00:28:31 And it's like most games with cool stories have easy modes. Like I can't think of one that I honestly can't think of one that doesn't. Like the only games that I could think of that don't have easy modes are games like Dark Souls or like games that are like supposed to be inherently changed. challenging that have no stories and whatever stories are there they're like you could just get like it's it's like background lore that you would be reading about even in the game anyway you know like so yeah you don't it's not that's not why you're there those aren't the kind of games where you're there for like that you're there for just like you're to beat this shit out of something you know like just go there yeah like I play the Witcher on easy because I think that games I think that game plays
Starting point is 00:29:12 like garbage like that the combat in that game is fucking atrocious and if feels disgusting to me. I think Witcher is complimented by like the Witcher gameplay is so heavily complimented by the game of Witcher so I don't mind it like I just don't mind playing that game ever like because I like playing Witcher I understand I understand what you mean but it's like it does play like mud when my brain is snapped out of me being absorbed and engrossing it right like then once I'm engrossed and I'm like I don't mind whatever's happening is it's great Like, if you're not, if you're, if you don't care about the story, there's literally no reason to play the Witcher. Like, it's, it's, it doesn't play well enough to justify just a purely like gameplay focused experience.
Starting point is 00:29:55 So like to me, I was just like, I like, I like these characters that like this story. I'm not willing to put up with this like annoying combat and like die and like, respawn like a mile away and just like, I'm fine just like cutting through everything. And like, it's, it's no big deal for me. But so I get the desire to like kind of like want to chill. with like a good story every now and again, but like I really don't see the lack of easy modes. Like, I don't know what you're like,
Starting point is 00:30:20 like Halo has an easy mode. Like, Doom Eternal has an easy mode. Like, what games? Yeah, all these games do. Doom Eternal will make fun of you.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Because I think, I don't even remember it. I think easy mode in Doom Eternal is like, I think it's called like pussy or something. Like, something like that. Fucking Kevin. Kevin mode?
Starting point is 00:30:39 Because what's the name of the game that has a Kevin mode? Is it, um, oh my God, I know what you're talking? talking about. Is it killer instinct? No, no, no. Oh, what the fuck is that? Is it killer? I think it is. It's like you do the hardest and then the last mode is Kevin because he's one of the guys that worked on the game and he's really fucking good. This hardest mo was like Kevin or like it was a really
Starting point is 00:30:59 random name. And it's like this guy is you better watch out for Kevin. He plays no games. Oh, okay. So the difficulty levels in Doom Eternal is like the first one is the easiest one is like I'm too young to die. brand new FPS player you've never played Doom before this is a good place to start enemies attack less often you know what I think is a good middle ground I think every game should have as a generic cheat code they should have God mode because sometimes it is kind of fun to just like fuck around and shit and that was fun that wasn't everything back in the day and it was like kind of neat and I it's kind of sad there was there was
Starting point is 00:31:35 God modes in games dude it was there was God mode in like Grand Theft Auto there was God mode in like destroy all humans. It was God mode in a lot of things. Like just the idea of it's like, ah, you're just fucking invincible. Unlimited ammo. Like the bandana. You know, you're not... Stuff like that. I think is like fun. But like, I don't think necessarily that every game needs an easy mode.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Like, what's an easy mode in like... Is there even a difficulty mode for like telltale games? I can't imagine that there is. No. No, they're not hard games. That's why. Right. I don't know. Games. You don't play telltales and be like, oh my God, I can't get through this encounter.
Starting point is 00:32:09 I can't fucking... Even I fuck up, but I'm like, for the most part, it's really not that hard. Yeah. Anyway, let's move on to some general questions. Move on to some questions. Let's start with some fucking video game stuff. Let's talk about video games. Let's talk about some video games since that's what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Actually, you know what? No, yeah, we'll keep going. Mike Childs wrote in. Mike Childs. Mike Childs. I don't, I'm not going to make fun of your name because that very well could be your real name. But that's like a, I don't know, Childs is always, I like that word, Childs. It's like funny.
Starting point is 00:32:45 It's better than children, I think. I like Children's. Children's? Yeah. What's that fucking TikTok we were watching the other day? It's like, I hope. I hope the one comes out this force and comes fucks me. That's just so fucking stupid.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Comes fucks me. I love it. I hope the one comes out this ominous miss and comes fucks me. Mike Childs wrote. He says, hey, you trio of moral, moral derived fucking. I think I don't know that's not grammatically accurate I think it would be morally derived depraved I think is what you meant but he says what are your what are some of your favorite maps in multiplayer games because some of mine would be
Starting point is 00:33:22 Caesar Shanghai in Battlefield 4 ballroom blitz and but in Battlefield 1 I actually don't remember I remember Caesar sang hi only because that was like that was the battlefield format that like everybody all the clips are from let's you when the when the buildings falling down and like I think everybody's seen that if they they're even really familiar but like I don't I don't play battlefield at all, but I do remember that, man. Yeah, exactly. I remember that map.
Starting point is 00:33:45 I've definitely seen it and been like, yo, this is kind of cool. You don't strike me. You don't strike me to somebody who has, like, favorite maps, really. Who me? Yeah. I have a ton of favorite maps, dude. Like in Destiny, like, can you remember any of it? Because I actually can't remember the names of any of the Destiny maps, which is kind of like a standard.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I love Bannerfall on Destiny. I like the anomaly a lot. I'm a big fan of, uh, is it, what is it, I think it's called? I think it's called, uh, Exit is blue. Then there's the, uh, I think you're right. There's one more map I like, but I keep forgetting. It's the, it's the Mars, not Marr, is it the Mars?
Starting point is 00:34:22 Is it the Mars under city map? I think that's the one I'm blanking on, but I love that map too. There's quite a few I like in Destiny. Yeah. And then obviously there's like, when I played Overwatch, I like the, um, I thought that grease. Oh, Valhalla. Obviously. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Yeah. Obviously, it's a classic map. Then there's... Man. Yeah, this could be a long list. I'm gonna keep it simple and say, like, most of my favorite maps in anything are probably from Halo 2,
Starting point is 00:34:50 because that has, like, some insane... Like, I think the best multiplayer maps in, like, anything, like, is just sitting in that game, and it's hilarious because the game's broken. But I think, like, turf and waterworks, and, like, even in Halo 3, like, a last resort with the big fan in the middle. I think that's just like a really iconic, like...
Starting point is 00:35:10 Classic. It just feels nice to be in that space. Like, just the color palette and everything, just like the beach. It was like the closest I got to a vacation for a long time. It was just like loading up that map. It's like, it's like I'm there! That's so fucking hilarious. It's really sad.
Starting point is 00:35:27 But, yeah, I think I would say... It's really sad. I would say those. I love Valala a lot, though. That's like very much so one of my favorite maps. Val Hall is a good one. That was just every big team map ever. always that and then you'd fucking, you'd be the one kid, like, I'm gonna launch on the
Starting point is 00:35:42 fucking thing and I'm gonna go to the other side and fuck them up and then you die in here. Yeah, yeah. That's a very classic. That's a classic little experience. Like I'm gonna fucking get them. You're dead-assie. I'm gonna fucking get him. Nikki Ziggy wrote in says, hello, Rowdy Rough Boys.
Starting point is 00:36:00 My question is mainly for Sweeney, as this is about Marvel, but all can chime in. Marvel has started introducing a lot of lesser-known characters, and I'm personally thrilled about it, especially Taskmaster getting some more screen time and hopefully better character than in Black Widow. I didn't even see Black Widow. So my question is, where do you think the Marvel franchise is going and how do you feel about it?
Starting point is 00:36:20 I think it's going in a good direction. They're finally starting to slightly break the whole This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show, presented by eBay. When I was living in Chicago, I took part in my first ever giant charity sale,
Starting point is 00:36:44 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 was a way for everyone to shop. It was a wound up being so much fun to see where each and every item was going where it was going to be loved. And in passing items along like that, authenticity really matters to the person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee. They weren't just listing my items.
Starting point is 00:37:24 They were verifying them, making sure something was genuinely from where it claimed to be, in this case, my closet.

Everything's the same kind of thing, which is really good. Because for a while, it was like everything was just, everything was just guardians after
Starting point is 00:38:18 guardians kind of. Everything was like, kind of, oh, this is like guardians. This is like a guardian's interaction. This is like a guardian thing. And I was kind of like, I like Guardians of the Galaxy a lot. But I got sick of how buddy copy everything was. Yeah. So I'm excited that they're going their own way.
Starting point is 00:38:33 They're going to hopefully add some more obscure characters like adding, Moon Knight. Yeah. Who's a literal psychopath. He's really cool. The Loki show did a lot of cool things I thought as well. Falcon and Winter Soldier was still very much so like on a lines of veins of Captain America, but it was like it was just more slightly more commentary on the characters
Starting point is 00:38:53 of Bucky and Sam. So I enjoyed that. And then what if is really cool so far. So I think it's going to end up in a pretty good place. Yeah. You just have to slow it down. Like there's just too much Marvel stuff comes out at once. And that becomes really draining for people.
Starting point is 00:39:05 So people can't have time. time to like, all right, decompress. And let's send us. Because right now, Shane Chee's coming out, then Eternal is coming out, and then Spider-Bet's coming on a span of four months. That's a lot. That's a lot of stuff. So they should probably just, you know, pace themselves.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Plus, they have the fantastic Ford X men on the way. So I can't wait for that. Yeah. I'm super excited. I got so overloaded with it. I think after end game, I was like, oh, I got a good conclusion out of this. That's kind of nice. And then I remember, like, after end game, I was just like, I think I'm done.
Starting point is 00:39:35 Like, I just, I don't know. Like, I'll pop in every night. now and again. Like, I'm sure, like, there will be an episode of that what-if show that's interesting. I'm sure they'll be, like, uh, fucking, I'm sure I'm going to watch Spider-Man. Yeah. Because I just, I have to. Well, think of it, end game.
Starting point is 00:39:51 And that year, four other movies came out, bro. What do you mean? Like, four other Marvel movies? Yeah. Really? What came out during endgame? It was Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Black Panther, then endgame.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Oh, shit. Yeah, you're right. No, and then Infinity War. And then after Infinity War a year later, no, wait, no, did, did something happen between Infinity War and in game? No, right? Ant Man, I think. Was it Ant Man? Really?
Starting point is 00:40:16 Yeah, right? Because at the end of Ant Man, they all get snapped. Okay, so then Ant Man was before that. So I before that was Ant Man. Was Captain Marvel between that also? I think so. The timeline is like confusing to me. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:30 And this is exactly what I'm talking about. Like, there's so many. And it's just at a certain point, I'm like, I'm tuning in for the things that I, I think I might be interested in. Spider-Man, I'm always going to have a default interest in. I'm going to see anything Spider-Man related, no matter what it is. I've just accepted that. It's kind of like I'm a Spider-Man fan more than I am a Marvel fan.
Starting point is 00:40:50 And in the same way that I'm more of a, like, I'm more of a Halo fan than I am an Xbox fan, you know? Like, it's the same kind of... I would say the same thing. Like, I'm a Marvel fan a lot, but I am a die-hard Spider-Man fan, period. So even when I'm done with Marvel, I will watch anything I Spider-Man's in. Like, I even like Spider-Man, Amazing Spider-Man, too, even though it's bad. I know it's bad, but I still like it. It's Spider-Man.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Yeah. I saw Webb's and he had a red and blue costume off for a little bit. I had to- I was fine with it. I had to- I had to- I had to get over that, though. I had to, like, because I remember watching the Amazing Spider-Man, too,
Starting point is 00:41:21 and thinking, like, that was fun and thinking it was cool. And I was like, ah, it's like a bad movie, but like, ah, it's like, it's a good costume. That costume's not good, bro. It is, it is good. The Amazing Spider-Man, too? What do you mean? That was like the only thing people liked about it. Chris, that costume is hideous, bro.
Starting point is 00:41:38 The Amazing Spider-Man 2? Yo, I hate that costume, bro. I hate it. I hate it. You like the first one? I don't like it at all. I don't like those costumes at all. He has fucking blue fingers.
Starting point is 00:41:52 What are you talking about? The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with Andrew Garfield? The Amazing Spider-Man 2 doesn't have the blue fingers. He doesn't the first one have the blue fingers? You're thinking of the first costume. Did they change? This costume in a second one, really? Yeah, that was the only thing people liked.
Starting point is 00:42:08 They changed his costume that much. I didn't even notice. Yeah, it's because it looks exactly like the drawing now. Like in the new, like it, if you Google Amazing Spider-Man 2, Google Amazing Spider-Man too, you'll see. Like, the first costume was disgusting with the blue fingers and like the fucking shoes. And the fucking colored lenses. Yeah, like the sepia tone lenses.
Starting point is 00:42:30 I hated that shit. No, but Amazing Spider-Man 2 has like a, I think it's a really good costume. actually. I'm surprised you don't remember that. I don't remember it. Because it's just the costume. It's just... Oh shit, it's a regular costume. Yeah, it's just the normal, it's just the normal costume. There's some shots where it looks like shit, but like, I like the eyes, like that they're finally big and like, you know, they got that... It's too, they got the Ditko curve. It's very Ramey reminiscent. It is, but not a huge fan of the Ramey costume. But it is, it is better than the other one
Starting point is 00:43:04 because it was discussed. The other one was disgusting. I mean, there's only so many live action Spider-Man costumes that you know what I mean? Like this, there's only so much like even even fucking what's his face Oh my god Tom Hollins is like CG most of the time So like
Starting point is 00:43:19 That's true I don't know But like I don't know I thought this was a good costume That first one is disgusting though Like actually But I'm gonna tune in for Spider-Man I'm gonna tune in for Doctor Strange because it's directed by Sam Ramey
Starting point is 00:43:32 And I'm excited at that That idea I hope it's a Ramey movie and not just another... Because like you said with like the whole Guardians of the Galaxy thing thing, like the whole reason Guardians the Galaxy was cool was that it was refreshing
Starting point is 00:43:44 and kind of new. And Gunn got to do what he wanted for the most those characters weren't big, you know? Right, yeah. I'm sure they had like some oversight because, you know, it's still a Marvel movie. But like, I mean, for the most part, like that type of interaction
Starting point is 00:43:56 wasn't super common. And after it, it just... It was everything. It's not that that's like a bad style. It's just... When that style... for being unique and then it gets pushed into everything it makes that style kind of annoying yeah because i like i like the movies i do like them i didn't like how everything became
Starting point is 00:44:17 sort of like that those movies yeah it just felt really weird how like everything was a sort of like like the exact same vibe exact same feel i think it's i think it's kind of why suicide squad is so fun is because like in the dc space that's not a common thing like to see like it's been a long time since I've seen a fun DC movie. Like, actually. That's true. I didn't see Shazam in fairness. Like, I heard that was fun, but like...
Starting point is 00:44:43 It was a pretty fun movie. Just the idea of just, like, that type of... I think I have, like, an inherent bias against those types of superheroes. Where I just hate them. Like, the tights. I hate tights and capes. Like, as a unit. Like, I just think they're just, like, the worst fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:44:59 For me, those are what superheroes are, exactly. Like, that's our typical superhero, like, tights and cape. Like, Spider-Man is, even though he's... not, he's more of like a new age hero in my mind. I guess in a sense, even though he's like still a tights jumping around, but he was just like, he was the generation after them where he was like, oh, this character is just wearing, he has no cape, he's just wearing a costume. What's kind of amazing to me about Spider-Man is that he has remained in tights forever. Yeah. Like usually most superheroes in like recent adaptations on film or in live action,
Starting point is 00:45:34 usually they have like some kind of build up to their costume. It's usually like, okay, well, that, that, the X-Men used to wear tights, but now it's like a jumpsuit with like, you know, leather straps or something. And it's like, oh, Iron Man's, well, Iron Man's always been Iron Man, but like, you know, just this idea of like technifying everything. But Spider-Man's design is so good that he can still remain in fucking spandex and still look awesome. That is one of the coolest things about Spider-Man to me is that he refuses. He's been like that. He's been like that for years. But it's just amazing that they, that it translates well still.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Like that's kind of a sound- Have you seen a new Miles costume? No. Does it look like shit? They massacred my boy, man. Oh, what is it? Miles Morales. Costume.
Starting point is 00:46:24 20-21. Bro, they massacred him, bro. What do you mean? Massacre him. What am I seeing? Looking for the one where he's like wearing a sweatpants. and shit. Oh. It looks so bad, bro. Oh. Oh, weird. Well, isn't that like his Spider-Verse costume kind of? Bro, it looks so bad. He had the best... First of all, I don't like the Spider-Verse costume.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I liked it in a... I like the costume where he drew the spider on his chest. Yeah. He literally took a Spider-Man costume and he painted it red and black. I like that. I did not like the whole like him wearing fucking Nike's, him wearing like fucking Air Forces with a hoodie on. It just felt gross to me. I don't know. I like the hoodie on the shorts. I think it looks good. You like it? Yeah, yeah. It's not my favorite Spider-Man
Starting point is 00:47:14 it's not even my top 20th's favorite Spider-Man costume. He looks so much better with his, because his, I think he has the best Spider-Man costume. It's just black. Just the black types. It's black and red. It's black and red, and it looks nice, you know? Like, I think the best costumes, obviously the classic and then like the black
Starting point is 00:47:30 costume. Those are like the best ones. to me. I don't know. Like, I think, uh, I think Miles' normal costume looks like super generic, because it just looks like a Spider-Man clone. It just looks like a- I love it. It looks like a Spider-Man OC. Whereas like, I don't know, like, I like the shorts and the hoodie. I think it looked, I think it has personality to it. I hate it. It reminds me of like, uh, quick change, Peter, like when he, when he, he would have to like, I always love those costumes in the video games where you could play as like Spider-Man in jeans and like he's got the mask on and like he's got only the shirt part on, but it's like under like a long sleeve.
Starting point is 00:48:03 It's, yeah. Because that is to me how I would imagine like a, like if a kid got bit by like, if a kid got powers like that, that's the costume that he would have probably. It would just be like normal clothes and his face would be hidden. It would just, it wouldn't be like this like sewn spandex.
Starting point is 00:48:23 I think, well, I think at the time it would have been like when they first were doing that shit, obviously that would have been like, oh, this guy's going to make like a proper costume to sort of look like a superhero. But I like, I actually really like, in the Spider-Man game, when you play as Miles in the very beginning, how he has like the winter costume on. And this is a Spider-Man mask and him like wearing like sort of street clothes. Because that's fine.
Starting point is 00:48:46 But I don't like him having a costume on over, like street clothes over the costume and some of the costume visible. That just looks kind of dumb to me. Or like when Tom Holland and his movie, when he had the Spider-Man costume and it was kind of just like a bunch of sweat clothes, like a jogging suit. No, that's like, that looked nice Like, oh, that's how a modern costume would probably look Oh, I'm seeing, I'm seeing the sweatpants thing You're talking about, it's like red He's got like a sweatshirt and like a weird mask
Starting point is 00:49:11 Yeah, it looks That's not a great, yeah They murdered my boy, man He just looks like Nico Bellic He just looks like fucking Grand The Theta Theta 4 like jumpsuit guy Niko Lai, fucking Kazum, let's go bowling, cousin.
Starting point is 00:49:26 That's a rough one, yeah, I'm not a fan of that. I don't like it, man. I don't know, like it, man. Like, I kind of like Miles' suit, but fair enough. That's not an unreasonable opinion. Jimmy the outrageous scoundrel and America's favorite wizard wrote in. He says, Bonjour, you bam squabbling baffle gabbers?
Starting point is 00:49:50 Oh, that sounds like a... That sounds like it's a contender for like... That's close. Yeah, it's a contender for a fake slur for sure. But he says, I'm a first-time patron. but I've been a fan of the show since the Zach episode, so that's episode zero. That's the first beginning.
Starting point is 00:50:04 The first. Perfect. So happy to be finally huck and some shuckles your way. My question is about the Big Apple, New York City. Sorry, Derek. You don't have to apologize because he's not here because I tailored these questions for this episode specifically. And he says, despite living in Pennsylvania,
Starting point is 00:50:18 I've never once stepped foot in the state of New York, but I plan on visiting New York City for my 17th birthday coming up in September. Thing is, I find myself overwhelmed trying to plan this trip. I don't know where I'd start with deciding which boroughs and neighborhoods to spend time which restaurants are stopped at. I live in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere in a rural area of outside of southeast Pennsylvania. So the closest thing I've seen to bright lights of Times Square
Starting point is 00:50:39 is moonlight reflecting on cows grazing at night. And Koppelmatic rode in with a very similar thing where he's planning a trip to Manhattan as well or New York City proper. And so first of all... This is Sophia Bush from Workin Progress with Sophia Bush. Check out this special moment we did on our show presented
Starting point is 00:50:59 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,
Starting point is 00:51:44 all sorts of things. Some people needed winterwear, some people wanted summer dresses. It wound up being so much fun.

On-Dek does not lend in North Dakota all loans and amounts subject to lender approval. I'll say this You can have It's it's easier to recommend If you're not 17
Starting point is 00:52:38 You know what I mean? Like if you're like over 21 I would have a lot more to offer you But I mean there's like stuff There's like the museum There's like There's some places The Met is one of the coolest place ever
Starting point is 00:52:50 Like I love the Met That's like my favorite Yeah That's probably my favorite place to be in Like if I'm going to visit here I want to see something I'll go to the Met That's a cool one
Starting point is 00:52:58 There's also Central Park is cool All of Times Square is pretty cool If you've never been in a place like that I would definitely recommend if you've never been to Times Square Go to Times Square at night just once to see how fucking mind-blowing that shit is Because when I first saw Times Square at night I could I got I think I had like a panic attack because I thought it was daytime and I didn't realize Because it's so it is so unbelievably bright
Starting point is 00:53:23 It's in Times Square at At midnight that it's fucking astounding and I think it is worth seeing, but you don't have to go there ever again. There's, like, really nothing there. Yeah, Times Square is, like, not the place to be. Like, if you're going to be, if you're going to get robbed somewhere in Manhattan and you're not in, like, Hell's Kitchen, Harlem, your Times Square is the place to be at night. Like, go there, see what you're going to see.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Get in a car, get away from there. It's not the place. You'll get robbed by, like, a pack of little kids, like little British kids, too. But, yeah, I don't know. You can see, like, a... Broadway shows are kind of fun. I'm not really into musicals, but like there is some kind of, there, there is something about, like, a Broadway proper play that's kind of fun. But the MET is cool.
Starting point is 00:54:07 The Natural History Museum is also cool for the spectacle of it, although it's like a bit, it's a bit of a maze. I always find myself having a hard time to get myself out of that fucking building. And I don't know, just like get pizza pretty much anywhere. Pretty much anywhere is a safe bet. I would recommend Joe's pizza, but that's literally just a preference. And that's in, uh, really good. that's in that's around Union Square on like East 14th something like that so like if you're around there check it out the parks are nice like Washington Square's fountain and
Starting point is 00:54:37 the big archway like there's there are things to see and there are things to do but like over 21 is when I can say like all right go to the speak easy that's like hidden under this fucking sushi sushi restaurant and then like the passcode is like fucking kill your mom or whatever the fuck you know like that's it's it's shit like that that I think is like the most interesting part about that area in general. Don't go into Brooklyn. Don't go into Brooklyn. And stay away from the Bronx if you can.
Starting point is 00:55:05 There's no reason to go to the Bronx. The Bronx is much better now. But like people go, like unless you're going for, because me being a New York Denison, I go to the Bronx because I know the Bronx of the back of my hand. So I'm going there to go to a very particular place on like a hundred and seven street
Starting point is 00:55:22 and then like freaking like Grandview where they sell amazing like, Spanish chicken and rice and beans. Yeah, yeah. And stuff like that. But if you're going to New York, you're usually going to go visit, like, the sites. So New York, the Bronx has the Bronx Zoo, Pelham, Pelham Bay Park. Then they have the Yankee Stadium.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Those are the three, like, allures of the Bronx. Then Brooklyn has Coney Island, and then it has Brooklyn College. And then it has, I don't know what else is in Brooklyn. Here's the thing. The issue, the issue. with Brooklyn is that Brooklyn has Coney Island Fair and I bet you're going on is fun
Starting point is 00:56:02 it's like a nice little place but like most of Brooklyn is just not entertaining there's not really anything there they do have the best pizza which is unfortunate but at the same time it's the best pizza by like only a little bit because every other place has like pretty amazing stuff as well
Starting point is 00:56:21 so like I would say like the 30 minutes that you're going to have to travel outside of Manhattan to get a good slice of pizza in the Bronx doesn't necessarily equate to the value of the jump in quality. So, like, if you've heard, like, oh, Brooklyn has the best pizza, that's true, but it's like, you're still going to get amazing pizza in the city anywhere you go.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Like, even in fucking Yonkers, you'll get amazing pizza. Don't go to Yonkers also. Even upstate New York do get good pizza. Yeah. That's crazy. Like, where we grew up was a, there's a chain restaurant called Jocamo's in upstate New York that sells insanely good pizza, and it's a chain
Starting point is 00:56:53 restaurant. Yeah. That doesn't make sense. It's like great. Yeah. I love it. Like when I get Jack and Moles, I get excited. I get giddy because it tastes so good.
Starting point is 00:57:02 They know how to make it. Like, I don't know what it is. Is this the New York, the New York style of making pizza? Like, I don't hold a New York as like a pinnacle of the world like some people do. But like New York's pizza is better, you know? We have better pizza. We have better bagels. That's just a culture of making those things there.
Starting point is 00:57:19 But yeah. I would say a main thing just like trying to look for some good food, which there's always like, It's a pretty safe bet Like when you're in New York That you're going to be eating at a place That's pretty fucking good Like that's one of the best things about it, I think
Starting point is 00:57:33 And it's super cheap there too You can get like really great pizza For like a dollar from like three angry Arabs In like some in like some hole in the wall Off of some random street There's one that's like really good Yeah walking out 42nd and you'll just be like Oh right across the street from the giant
Starting point is 00:57:48 The Big Apple pizza The comic bookstore Go across the street and you'll get a dollar pizza And it's just pretty good like amazing. It's amazing. It's just, this,
Starting point is 00:57:57 this, the nature of the place. That dollar pizza will be better than anything you've had. Anywhere else. Anywhere else. Maybe Pennsylvania is, maybe Pennsylvania is close enough
Starting point is 00:58:05 that there's probably like some good pizza there, I would imagine. But still, I would say it's all about the food. And, uh, let's move on.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Let's get some fucking other questions. Chazin Tom Rodin. He says, hello, my three extremely well-endowed gentlemen. When does a character cross the line from unlikable yet well written to just badly written and also unlikable or vice versa uh examples would be good too like for me uh is amber from invincible specifically the
Starting point is 00:58:35 i know you have power shit i liked her before that and other is cora i like her type of character way better than angs angs is a pussy sorry sweeney but her show is also so hit and miss that i can't bring myself to place her above him uh that amber thing was wild that was this weird and i don't know For Invincible, by the way, you can skip ahead a little bit, but... Yeah. The scene where, like, Amber finds out, or not finds out, reveals that she's known that he's had those powers and is still mad. Is insane. It's actually the dumbest, one of the dumbest character decisions I've ever seen implemented in anything.
Starting point is 00:59:15 And it actually, like, I think that scene tanked the rest of the show for me. Because, like, I liked that show quite, like, I enjoyed it. But that scene really was like, that is so dumb and irredeemably obtuse that I just, I can't bring myself to care about this character anymore. It was, it was just unbelievable, you know? It was just like, what? Yeah. It is the most unrealistic thing to happen in that show. And there are superheroes and aliens invading.
Starting point is 00:59:52 And like children who become monster. and get younger every time. You know, like, that show is so full of high concept, insane, like, off-the-wall bullshit. And that was the least believable thing to me, was the fact that she was still mad, even though she knew he had powers. I couldn't fucking believe that.
Starting point is 01:00:11 But that bothered me. I was like, oh, okay. So you know? It was just one of those weird, like, it was just didn't, I couldn't put my finger on why they made her do that. Because it doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. Because in a comic book they based it off of, she finds out and she's like, well, you have powers.
Starting point is 01:00:33 Okay, I get that. This is strange now, but I'm your girlfriend. But in that, it's just like I knew and I'm mad. Even though he like saved your life like a few minutes beforehand and you knew why he wasn't there because he was saving lives because he's a super person. That's the frustrating. That is the frustrating part of it is that like, she's mad because he ditched them in the middle of like some super villain fight
Starting point is 01:01:06 right that's literally what the impetus for the conversation was that's why it's why it all like it started right right so like she he ditched them to go change into a superhero outfit and save them and then she's mad at him for ditching them no she's mad at him because he didn't tell her right but the thing is like that's like really that's like
Starting point is 01:01:30 being like not to the same degree but it's like being mad at someone for not telling they've been sexually assaulted or like something that's serious that's like a heavy like that's weight there's weight to that situation you know like you can just go around telling each and everybody like hey
Starting point is 01:01:45 my dad's Omni Man and I'm invincible and I have superpowers because then that just makes things weird but she got mad I just I just don't There's, look, there are certain characters with a lot of flaws that I really like, you know, I really like, like, like, Vegeta, for instance. He's like this big, hot-headed asshole who always gets people in trouble. He always puts himself first. He's an asshole. But he, everything that he does, even though, like, a lot of it is, like, dumb, I understand why he's doing it because his character reflects, like, why he would do these things. Amber, it was fine. The whole, the whole, the whole, the whole,
Starting point is 01:02:29 the entirety of the show and then all of a sudden just pulls this random shit out of nowhere and that's to me the second the character makes a decision that not only that I couldn't relate to but that I also couldn't imagine the character relating to that is the moment where it
Starting point is 01:02:45 just becomes like you fucked it up really badly I talk about this a lot because it just sticks out in my mind so so heavily that scene in fucking stranger things were fucking John asked them.
Starting point is 01:03:00 I can't get over it. Oh my God. He's walking into a building full of demons with a gun to retrieve something and retrieves it and forgets the gun. I just- You won't give up on that. Because it's so un-fucking believable. And they could have just easily like, because you know what's frustrating about it too?
Starting point is 01:03:27 because he's a clumsy oaf. Like, he's a clumsy dude. You just dropped it. He could have easily just picked it up. 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
Starting point is 01:03:46 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
Starting point is 01:04:01 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.
Starting point is 01:04:10 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.
Starting point is 01:04:25 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.

And by the way, like they were supposed to be like super silent, so that would have made noise, it would have made no sense for him to go grab the gun. They could have made it make a lot of sense, but they just didn't. They just had him forget the gun. And it was just like, I hate you now. Like, you're not even, I liked you before and now I'm happy you're dead.
Starting point is 01:05:39 It's easy for me. Like, overnight, my opinion on a character can change. I, I tend not to like assholeish characters, you know. That's me. But honestly, I do like Vodagh. Because the thing about Vegeta is that one He always he's the one that sets up his ass weapons always like Vigita is the he's the culprit for each and every one of his ass weapons And though I hate that he causes problems I can respect
Starting point is 01:06:11 Vigida you know his character a lew like his character makes sense He's the same prince who he was taught he was like he's the best of the best and he came to some backwater fucking planet and is getting beat by this guy that has or the dumbest hair in the universe you know like i understand where that comes from or like characters like who's another character that i just like like who's another shitty character that is like even batman you know like even though batman makes me mad i like batman because of the fact that batman is just as mentally sound unsound as everybody in the city of gotham no one in gotham's okay batman is the one that thinks he's helping so for He beats the shit out of disabled people.
Starting point is 01:06:56 And like, he doesn't trust anybody. But he, because, you know, like, when he interacts with the Justice League, right, Batman is supposed to be the human of the group. He's supposed to be, like, the most agrounded human person. And he exemplifies all the best and worst traits in people, you know. He doesn't give up. He always keeps fighting. You know, he perseveres and he can endure a lot.
Starting point is 01:07:16 But he's also skeptical, cynical, cynical, afraid of things he doesn't understand. and just kind of like abrasive. So Batman's character does fit well in the world he's in. There's very few characters that like just I snap and I hate. But I guess one, who's, do I just can't stand? Who's the character that's I can't stand him? Like nothing about him's redeemable to me. Oh, hmm.
Starting point is 01:07:43 Hans Solo, you said you don't like Han Solo. I don't like Han, but I don't hate Han Solo. Like that's crazy to hate him. Right. I just like Luke Moore. I don't even hate Han Solo. but who's like I hope this motherfucker dies
Starting point is 01:07:55 immediately irredeemable characters that's insane I don't think there's anyone that I'm like Amber was the worst so far I've seen yeah and even that was like that was just really dumb
Starting point is 01:08:06 It wasn't like What the fuck dude What's just going on here? It wasn't like evil Yeah I don't know You can put a pin in that Like Micca Fucking Micca
Starting point is 01:08:15 Mika But Micca's a good character though Dude that whole game That whole game is full of Like every character in that game is fucking a goat man. I love Red Dead 2 is... The best character in that game is fucking what's his name, dog? Sean.
Starting point is 01:08:27 Is Sean as the Black and Native American guy? Uh, no, no, no, no. Is that Sean? Was it? What was his name? It's been a minute. The Red Dead character, Red Debt characters. Dude, like, that game's so...
Starting point is 01:08:43 Like, Arthur Morgan's like one of the best characters in video games. Like, for real. Charles. Charles, dude, Charles' whole entire story is so fucking perfect. Yeah. He's just great. And his fucking Maka. Fucking Mika.
Starting point is 01:09:02 God damn Mika. I, God, man. Mika. I think when I, honestly, like when I'm in New York and I get situated, I might be at a point where like I kind of want to play Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 again. I can't play Red Dead 2. I just, I love these characters so far. Even Mika. Like, what a fucking shithead.
Starting point is 01:09:22 But like, I actually love that character. Trilani, fucking John Marston, fucking all these guys. John is amazing. John is, John is, they do such a, because John's already developed as character by the end of Red Dead one. But then you see why he tries so hard to do good because of Red Dead 2. And you're like, bro, I just love this character. It's fucking crazy. Like John keeps fucking up and Abigail's like,
Starting point is 01:09:54 John, you can't do shit right. And he's like, woman, I'm trying. I'm just trying. Why don't you get it? It's hard. And she's like, God damn it, John, you suck dick. That's why I'm fucking somebody else. He's like, I can't do this.
Starting point is 01:10:07 I'm a hitter. It's really good. Dutch Van DeLay. Red Dead 2 is, you know, it's not everybody's cup of tea is like gameplay wise, but like that story really like, even honestly I would recommend. even just like if you just watched like a like a silent like edited like let's play like where
Starting point is 01:10:27 they just they put all the fucking story parts in it I think it's worth it too like because it's just it's such a fucking great story like actually um fucking maca macu fucking muckoo fucking muck I don't know but I don't have a character I despise yeah I can't think a good one that comes up and I'm like I can't fucking stand you but what happens is when a character makes a decision that doesn't make sense to their character for no reason or is this unnecessarily like It just, any time a character counteracts how they should be acting is when it becomes a bad character, you know. Like, anytime. Like, I think one of the best characters in a show ever watches Zuko.
Starting point is 01:11:02 Zucco's fantastic. Zucco's a great character. Great character. Even, honestly, another great characters, two characters that work well because of, like, opposites are Trevor Belmont and Dracula. Because they fur-the-way they shadow each other. Like, in the very beginning, Trevor hates humanity almost as much as Dracula hates humanity. But seeing this dude be a real fucking monster, he's like, yo, maybe humans aren't quite that bad because this guy really sucks. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:29 So, God, that was a great show too. I don't know. I wish I could forget it. We can go. I guess I could forget it. Yeah. And just watch it again for the first time. That was so far.
Starting point is 01:11:38 I don't know. This could go on for a long time. But like, I don't know. It's hard for me to hate fictional characters. 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.
Starting point is 01:12:01 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
Starting point is 01:12:31 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. To listen to more, check out the full episode. wherever you get your podcasts.

OnDec does not lend in North Dakota. All loans and amounts subject to lender approval. You know, like, it's really difficult. Like, I think the most recent fictional character I hated. Who?
Starting point is 01:13:32 Ray. I hate Ray. From what? Star Wars. Oh, I thought you're going to say from fucking the movie about Ray Charles. I was like, he's real, first off. But also, like, why would you hate Ray? Ricker Ray from Ray Charles.
Starting point is 01:13:48 I don't know how you could, you know what? I'm just going to let that pass. What? You don't remember? I remember that movie. I saw it like three times. I get it. He's a real person.
Starting point is 01:14:00 He was born. Right. But I didn't like Ray at all. Ray made me question if I was a misogynist. Because how much I didn't like her. I know what you mean. Because I saw the movie and I was like, I'm.
Starting point is 01:14:13 I think I like it she's a girl and she's kicking butt yeah it was kind of one of those it was one of those things where it's like I know I'm probably not supposed to say this but it's very true that like this character is really shitty and it's it is really not like I don't hate Ray because I don't it's the opposite of hate or love that I have for Ray like I'm just completely indifferent to Ray as a fictional
Starting point is 01:14:42 If she was erased from history, like it wouldn't affect me. Like, I wouldn't be happy. I wouldn't be, it would have no effect on me. I hate her. She was just erased from the annals of history. But like, I hate that damn bitch. I hate her so much.
Starting point is 01:14:57 It's one of those things that's just look true, but you feel weird saying because you know a lot of like psychos are going to agree with you. You know, like, oh, Ray, race sucks. And then like some weird incel is going to come out. I was like, yeah, she's fucking the worst.
Starting point is 01:15:10 And I fucking hate my girlfriend because she fucking. likes bigger dicks than the one that I have. And it's like, okay, all right. Let's calm down. This is a departure of character, but it's like when someone talks about like, you hate the police, what do you mean? People are out there looting and robbing. And I'm like, I want to be like, yeah, you guys shouldn't be looting, you know, small
Starting point is 01:15:29 businesses. And I'm like, yeah, you shouldn't because you black bat. And I'm like, yeah, I didn't mean that. Every reasonable opinion that you can have is just tainted immediately by the internet. because like it'll just be it'll go like it'll be upvoted in like in cell Reddit or something and then you're just inundated with like psych of it like you know how many times I've like worded a tweet and just deleted it because I just know I'm just going to get all these fucking weirdos like you don't think I'm thinking like man uh it must be amazing to just
Starting point is 01:16:03 don't say it just to just flash your genitals and just speed run the hardest part of being alive that must be pretty amazing you don't Yo, if I could show my genitals and I didn't have to pay rent. I remember we spoke about this before. Yeah. I would be on that in a heartbeat. Dude, for real. Like, there are women who just, like, never have to worry about rent again because they just have a pussy.
Starting point is 01:16:25 And it's like, that's amazing. Like, and I know that, like, if I tweet something like that out, some fucking, like, some Elliott Roger type is going to be like, yeah, fuck women. And it's like, no. It's just. So Ian Malk-Chong motherfucker is going to be like, yeah, Chris Regons are fucking champion. And they're all going to flood to your follows. And they're going to, every time you post and you look at a post, are going to be there.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Being like, yeah, dude, fucking women dumb bitch. You shouldn't be able to vote. And you're like, no. It's wild. It sucks. Get away. It sucks. It's terrifying.
Starting point is 01:16:57 They just ruin everything for everybody. Like, you can't have like a normal conversation. I don't like the internet, bro. I hate it. It's bad. It's not a good place. It's bad. We'll, uh, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, head.
Starting point is 01:17:11 towards the end of this. We got like one one left. It's bad. We got one question left. Parapologics aren't people because people are bipedal rodin. I didn't say it. I didn't say it. I read it. I read it. I read it. I did not write it. How's it going three musketqueers?
Starting point is 01:17:29 Huh. Nice. But your joke doesn't work because there's only two of us. I've been a fan for a long time now. What is something you know you should see or play but never did? Personally, I've never seen the Godfather, I've never seen Seinfeld, I've never seen fresh Prince. I've also
Starting point is 01:17:46 technically... Oh, I've also technically played Mass Effect, but I only played one and two and didn't do most of the side quests in either. So I might... Wow. That's, that's kind of wild. How are you living? How are you living? You, okay. That Mass Effect thing is weird because you basically just didn't play those games if you didn't do the side quest. But... Mass Effect one brings you through the side quest to finish the game. So you don't get your ass eating in a... Yo, bro, what's your name again? Parapolitics aren't people because they don't because people are bipedal. Whoa, that's gross. But you're not playing, you're not doing things right. Yeah, that's a pretty rough one. I don't know. Like, I can't harp on you too bad because like there are, look, I love video games.
Starting point is 01:18:29 I, I like, I went to film school specifically to learn how to like edit, you know, like film. And I haven't seen most films that most people would have expected me. I've never seen Fight Club. I saw Lord of the Rings for the first time like three years ago. I saw Star Wars for the first time like four years ago. Like I haven't seen most movies that people would have expected me to see. I saw Goodfellas for the first time, I think a year ago. You know? What?
Starting point is 01:18:56 Yeah. Because I just, I wasn't watching serious movies really. Because you know why? Because I would only ever see movies. I would always ever see movies. I would always ever see movies if my aunt came over with bootlegged copies of them from Gun Hill, from Michula. Of course. The people who were sending them in the Bronx. And so I saw these like, I would get these DVDs in like the really slim DVD boxes.
Starting point is 01:19:24 Super bendable, super fucking malleable fucking things. Yeah, it was like a sheet of paper. And like, yes. It would be like Garfield. And I would be like, all right, I guess I'll watch Garfield. And I put Garfield in and I can't hear anything. and like some dude is like walking in front and then loses focus like a million times and I'm like
Starting point is 01:19:41 I don't think I like movies very much because like for a long time I thought that's what movies were like genuine I didn't know the I didn't understand what bootlegs were until I was like 10 or like nine I can't
Starting point is 01:19:56 it's insane I can't with you it's real though like so I just I missed out a lot of movies like I saw like back to the future and like yeah I don't know like stuff like what if I not seen I feel like I've seen pretty much every
Starting point is 01:20:06 give me a good example of a movie that I should that I should have no reason to be able to say I haven't seen. Have you seen Citizen Kane? Yeah, well, yeah, I had to. Only because I had to for school. Have you seen...
Starting point is 01:20:20 I hated it, by the way. I don't hate Citizen Kane. I just, I just watch. Have you seen Casablanca? Yes. Have you seen Forrest Gump? No. That's crazy. That's like such a fucking...
Starting point is 01:20:34 Have you seen The Wizard of Oz? Yeah, a lot of the older things I've seen sound of music you've seen too, I'm guessing then Yeah, like a lot older like 50s and 60 stuff because that's what my parents would just like put on But like like like I'm talking about like fight club and like I don't know Memento like memento Memento I saw like super recently or like Lord of the Ring I I saw the first three Harry Potter's and part two of the last one So you don't have no you have no clue how to fuck they got to that point. No.
Starting point is 01:21:08 You're just like, yo, these were kids. These were kids a moment ago, a mere moment ago. But like, I don't know. I haven't seen most of the Muppet Muppet movies. I haven't seen fucking... I've seen a lot of movies. I don't know. Let me think.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Which is dangerous because I've seen so many movies and like so many of them I don't remember, but I've seen like way too many moments of movies. Yeah. I'm pretty sure I've seen every Muppet movie, except for the newest one. Yeah, I haven't seen that either. I've seen most of the Tarantino movies I've seen. Shawshank Redemption, haven't seen it. Really?
Starting point is 01:21:45 I just know what the Shawshank Redemption is through osmosis from like pop culture and like everything else. I never finished Inception. I've never seen front to back beginning to end an Indiana Jones movie. Really? I've seen various scenes of Indiana Jones. I've never seen Pan's Labyrinth. I've never seen, uh, fucking, I've seen sounds of the land. Have you seen Crocodile Dundee?

Starting point is 01:22:47 I've also never seen Die Hard or the original Blade Runner. Never seen Blade Runner? You've seen 2047? No. 2042? I haven't seen any Blade Runner at all. Really? No.
Starting point is 01:22:58 Dang, dude. Because it's just like all the... I think what I thought when I was in film school, especially, like, I had gotten to college ready. I haven't seen most of these things. And I remember thinking like, It's probably good that I haven't seen a lot of these things because if it's kind of like You know how some things will like subliminally influence you? Yeah, it's kind of like that where I'm like maybe it's not such a bad thing But then like after a while and I realized I'm not gonna do I'm not gonna do film. I hate film
Starting point is 01:23:23 I hate the industry of like film like oh it's a terrifying Yeah, it's just a bunch of Weinsteens and a bunch of like you want to be a star you want to be a star?

Smoke crack out of a cigar To make it look like it's just a Cuban But yeah, I don't know
Starting point is 01:23:43 There's probably like There's countless examples of things That I should have seen But just haven't And I'll get around it And honestly most of these movies I haven't seen because like They continuously get recommended to me
Starting point is 01:23:52 So I just know I'll never forget about them Like I know at some point I'm going to see Forrest Gump You know like because it's just fucking But like what I like to see is stuff that like This is Sophia Bush From Work in Progress with Sophia Bush, check out this special moment we did on our show presented by eBay.
Starting point is 01:24:11 When I was living in Chicago, I took part in my first ever giant charity sale, and I was able to auction several items from my personal closet on eBay. They were items that marked huge moments in my life and in my career, and though I was ready to pass them along, I also wanted to make sure they were going to someone who would love them. One of the things I loved the most about doing this with eBay is there was a way for everyone to shop. It wound up being so much fun to see where each and every item was going, where it was going to be loved. And in passing items along like that, authenticity really matters to the person who's getting them. That's why I love eBay's authenticity guarantee.
Starting point is 01:24:55 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.
