It's like, it's like, you don't know, it's like, I mean, little noss acts, not a cowboy. Yeah. Doesn't seem to really know much about being a cowboy, because the horses are involved in hats. Wranglers.

Boots. Wranglers and boots. It's all the most surface level, cowboys. Yeah, he doesn't seem to understand how to ride a horse. Yeah, there's no detail in there. Yeah, that's fine. That's why he got Billy Ray in there. Yeah, because Billy Ray loves a horse.

He's a most authentic country musician, Billy Ray Setters, known for the top 40 hit, Aiki Breakie Heart, which was like barely country. Yeah, you know, Billy Ray Setters from the Disney Channel. Yeah, he's very good. But here's the thing I resisted, Old Town Road. You did. It's a bad song, in my opinion, but I resisted it, but it's impossible to get out of your head once you hear it. It is the definition of an earworm. It is a viral song. Not like viral, like a wind viral. It's like an actual viral infection that you get

and you cannot get rid of. And now I'm just like literally like all day long at the back of my head, I'm like, or anglers, I'm a booty. Or whatever, whatever the lyrics are, anyhow, fine, it's fine, take your number one. Take your number one. I'm happy for a little insects. I'm happy for a little insects. He earned it. I think I don't know anything about it He worked so hard on Twitter. Hey, you know, that's it. That's a kind of talent. Sure. Anyhow, right. This has been a big week

All right, so let's talk about some new stuff. There's a lot of things happening. What's going on in the world right now? Um, I mean, what's what's going on in the world? We'll save the depressing stuff for later. What's the more fun last present? The last present in the world? YouTube is that war with itself? Oh my god, can you explain this? So I've tried to follow this story. There's a guy named James Charles.

Does he have a YouTube name? No, it's just James Charles. He calls everybody, he calls everything sister something. So it'll be like, he's sister dreams, Charles. And we're having sister podcasts, podcasts, sisters. Okay, and then he's a sister. He's in a war with Tatoo Westbrook. Tatoo Westbrook, who is a YouTube makeup artist.

YouTube makeup artist. He is also a YouTube makeup artist. Okay, and they are having a battle over. They're having like a full on war. A war of money. A war of vlogs. There's a lot of money in beauty. Vlog of thrones.

Like make up beauty influencing. So like there's like potentially dozens of millions of dollars for each of them on the line. Yeah. And especially for these companies. So they have a lot of drama because, you know, there's always like somebody's being bribed by this company to say this, and now they're doing a collab over here

and this person tweeted a racist thing so everybody has to cut business time. It's just like Game of Thrones constantly. Right, but right now, we're at the stakes are much lower. Yes. Game of Thrones, it's the entirety of a world. This is like concealer.

This is like I'm not making millions of dollars off of my beauty tips. I can't plug lips macers. So I'm over. Lips macers is the best. OK. So they're at war with each other because James Charles is like a 19 year old.

He's kind of an asshole and an idiot. And he says stupid shit all the time. But he she this totty who I am a huge I've watched like all of her videos. She's fascinatingly basic, but she Has a line of vitamin supplements beauty vitamins that she put together and she's got like secret ingredients or whatever and she's super into selling them and He is her friend who she got into the industry like he asked like, can you make introductions and help me make money at this and like help me make business deals?

Anyway, he used a competitors product and endorsed a competitors product while at Coachella. And she got upset and used that as like the straw that broke the camel's back and then made a video outing him as like a sexual abuser and like systematically. How bad is women? What kind of abuse are we talking about?

Pretty bad. I mean, physical abuse? Like physical verbal, like using his internet, huge internet accounts to shame men who wouldn't sleep with him. Who hasn't done that? Yeah, using money empowered to harass people and trying to, like, he's tried to behind the scenes

take people down for not, like, sexually, I guess, submitting to him. Same. Same. Same. It's kind of horrifying, but what is more horrifying is that it like took a brand deal for all of this to come in. Well, that's the thing, to me, like, I feel like there's the, the vitamin stuff. It's like, who gives a share?

The question I would ask is, why was she so completely fine with all of that before she, he did the deal? And she's also, she has also friends with other problematic types, like Jeffree Star, who said a lot of her stuff. But Jeffree Star is really bad, right? Yeah. Jeffree Star is like, like, really bad and really rich. Like, really rich.

And Shane Dawson do a thing where he went to Jeffree Star's house. Yeah. And it was horrible. I mean, Shane Dawson's nightmare. Every YouTuber is like, this is because, I mean, look, I don't want to, I'm like, Mark Kezz is okay.

I don't want to not, Mark Kezz. No, Mark Kezz is, but he's not in the he's not in that not in that world He's very non-controversial, but like the tech guys are all the most the tech guys are non-controversial He had for the most part. I mean everyone's a mile. I see something I'm like, what did you just say? But otherwise like puty pies, but he's not really tech No, no, I sometimes I'll be watching a tech reviewer and they'll say something like well This is you know the FJW agenda and red dead redemption and then they like move on you're like We're really yeah, we'll gamers. It's JW agenda and red dead redemption. And then they like move on. You're like, we're going to say that.

Yeah, well gamers, it's a different gamers is a different area. Yeah, hold different story. Tech people are pretty good. But yeah, all of YouTube is bad. Shane Dawson had sex with a cat. Okay, always in a way, no, like, no, the Paul brothers are fucked up. But listen, isn't this, I hate to be, I hate to be this guy because I've, I've benefited from there not being the kind of like ultra corporate like my career on the internet very much started from just being like a person who was

nerdy now about shit. Yeah, and just like got into it and you know a guy on the internet Now I have a job. Yeah, like a real job like a real like an actual humans job You have a briefcase. Yeah, I carry a briefcase everywhere I go no matter what to the beach to business meetings into to family dinners You're always tying suit to the audience. I'm like, yeah, I'm fully tying everyone. I'm like, all right, let's get this, let's look at some eating star day open on my briefcase and inside of it is a play to fettish eating off radio.

Because I'm at the Olive Garden having a family dinner. I've got some documentation right here when I go to the beach. It's actually a small inflatable toy that I've used into float my drink in. Okay, anyhow, because that's what it does, they float a drink in the ocean while they're at the beach. We actually do have, at my house,

we do have these flamingos that hold beers. Oh, really? You can put in a pool and they float. Do you have a pool? No, but I mean. Yeah, yes, we do. We do, okay. Yes.

Oh, that's what you do. You're talking about, you've been to my life. I know, but I just couldn't picture it. The entire reason I live right there. Anyhow, getting back on topic. So my briefcase, I pop it open. No, on the topic. No, no, no, no.

YouTube is like, you're cheating yourself. But what I was gonna say is, in the old days, it's like, it would be harder for a Jeffrey star to become a multi-millionaire celebrity, YouTube celebrity, because there were gatekeepers who were like, wait a second. I like this guy. This guy is like racist or whatever.

Are they to been like, I don't know, I wanna say Josh Charles, but it's, what is it? James Charles. James Charles. Josh Charles, oh, Josh Charles. No, Josh Charles is the guy from The Good Wife. Oh yeah. Yeah, James Charles is his younger brother who does a YouTube channel

Antony that was true. Yeah, I That's how we should start Charles does my makeup. We should start that rumor, which is James Charles is actually the younger brother of Josh Charles They're both very proud. He left he left the good wife to help James out with his career He's actually his producer. He produces all Anyhow, but like you know there used to be people who were like wait a second Let's vet this person a little bit. Maybe they shouldn't be on TV. Yeah, and now it's like oh you have a webcam on your laptop You're a star Whatever you're like Shane Dawson's like you can't attention for any behaves like he's like investigations like and what are your credentials to investigate anything

you that's actually cat. That's not a credential. He's like I can tell you like I got to the bottom of this Chuck E. Cheese pizza cutter. I can tell you who it is not had sex with a cat in the former camp me. And that's why you haven't gotten internet attention. It's an attention economy like this has been so good for both

Taty and James Charles because they're getting hundreds of millions of views on their YouTube channel and all of those make the money So like all of this bad behavior is just further rewarded because now we're talking about them. Yeah, here we are We're promoting James Charles his comeback story will be by the end of the year or next year Paul brothers He'll be like in Sephora with a giant picture of himself. And it'll be, it's just ridiculous. Anyway. Anyway, media is broken. YouTube is bad.

It is, I mean, YouTube's bad. YouTube's very bad. Buzzfeed ran this story about this 14 year old YouTuber who like Buzzfeed's really like they're reporting on the alt-right and like YouTube stuff is like extremely lazy and bad. And they did a story. I'm not gonna like reference to the person,

is whatever, but all I can say is that person has already been covered when they were 11 years old for being a foul mouth skateboarder or something, and now she's a foul mouth alt-righter or whatever. And they're like, YouTube's out of control. Now I will say this is an area where YouTube is out of control, but also it's like, we need to blame human beings for their actions, and we need to blame a 14 year old's parents for letting their fucking kid go

on the internet and do that. That's the problem. I'm sorry, like, it is actually, there are actually ways to prevent that if you are a parent. There are certainly ways to be like, hey, don't be racist. Here's why. It's just weird because people freak out about child actors and making sure they're protected and like that. They're not working too hard.

And, but kids on YouTube, it's floodgates are open. Every stupid thing they say can't be operated. Again, no fucking gatekeepers, no be pay. And by the way, my guess is that this person's parents are into it and making money off of it. Yeah. Well, James Charles' parents sent him out to LA when he was like 16 with his little brother to like raise themselves and put on lip liner. It's like, what the fuck is happening greed? Greed is what's causing all this greed and and and Concealer, you know, we got to put a stock of both of them speaking of greeting concealer. Yeah, by the oh wait actually wait

What it's gonna say to watch the thrones? Oh? Yeah, we should talk about game is wrong. We should I forget it's been so long. I actually watched it on Sunday So that's a rare one where we actually... You don't watch it as it airs? No, usually I watch it. I try to watch it as airs, but the two weeks ago I watched it, we didn't watch it on Sunday night,

and then Monday was a nightmare. Yeah. Because you have to avoid looking at the internet. Then we watched this on Sunday, Game of Thrones, easily one of the worst episodes. And by the way, I don't want to be, I don't take it anymore. It's so bad.

I would actually be fine if we could, I would be willing to be like, okay, Daenerys snapped. Now she's crazy. Like fine, fine. I'm gonna let you have this one. John doesn't love her. The people.

The people don't love her. Her dragons died. Her hair's all crazy. Your a bit the dust and like everything's falling apart. Her outfit's on his side. I like fuck people. I'm gonna burn them all over the ground. I'm the mad queen.

Okay, fine, fine. I'll accept that. I'll accept that. I'll accept that. Yeah, seriously. But what I don't accept is the fucking pacing of the season. It's like they're like, all right. Okay, big character Jess. The final season is like, like they're like, all right. Okay.

Big character desks, the final season's like, cool, big character desks, I get it. Yeah, knock them out. How about not all in one episode? Just maybe like we could have dotted the landscape with some desks. It's like varies and Cersei and Jamie and I'm forgetting somebody else.

I'm forgetting somebody else. I'm forgetting somebody else. I'm forgetting somebody else. I'm forgetting somebody else. I'm forgetting somebody else. I'm forgetting somebody else. I'm forgetting somebody else. I'm forgetting somebody else. I'm forgetting somebody else don't buy that Cersei died by like crumbling rock over her. She died. She died. No, that's so ridiculous. They're like, they would have had some kind of other plan just like, hey, they're sitting around for weeks with nothing to do. They're like, we've like the great villain of all time.

Cersei, like the greatest villain of all time. And, and oh, her big plan was to throw sticks at a dragon. Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, I'm sorry. Let's take, let's talk about that. Last week, the scorpions killed a dragon. No problem right away. Elements of surprise. Yeah, bye, see ya. This week, scorpions burned to a crisp.

Couldn't even get turned around in time to get the dragon. They're like, like, so it's just dumb luck. Oh, my God. Oh, you're on Greyjoy. Jamie's like, I guess I will take this boat out of here. And then you're on Greyjoy's like, not so fast. You're on Greyjoy's out in the fucking ocean. Yeah. He gets blown up. His ship gets blown up. He ends up washing up in the one little crevice of all the crevices. I knew where Jamie Lannis would be. So Jamie and you're on can have a big fight, a big, a big like guys who are

in dessert say fight, which is by the way, by the way, no offense, but I have Zero interest in the year on character. I have no investment in him. I do not think he's a through-a-man at the end Yeah, the last season they're like, oh, what if this guy's a thing? And it's like I do not he's scary, right? Like how are we gonna we need like a foil to Jamie? They're like, how about this guy? His motivation is that he just does violence. Yeah, so the last, or whatever we're calling this one season, it's just been so, it's the pacing and character development has been so like ham-fisted and unbelievable. No, okay, I said unbelievable for the Dragon Show.

The Dragon Show prided itself on making Dragon somewhat believable because the characters and the plot pacing was so adult and slow and methodic and interesting. And I dare say, stars went whole seasons without interacting with the guy. Yeah. This is like when people started getting, you can see what the threads of this happening when people were traveling. It took them like three seasons to go like, like from essentially what would have been going

from like New Jersey to like Miami? It was like three seasons of them journeying that far. Then they all my fast travel. And then they were like popping around like a genie. They literally like do you want to fast travel this location? It's like yeah, it's like one second's in areas. It's like fucking Kingsland. And then next up here, she's like, she's in the ice zone or whatever they call the

the fucking wall, whatever, but you're on the wall. The negative space. Yeah, they should have said. Yeah, so it's like look, I don wall, whatever, but you're on the wall. The negative space. Yeah, the negative stuff. Yeah, so it's like, look, I don't wanna, I'm fine. I'm along for the ride. I'll finish the fucking show. I'm gonna finish it. I mean, it's like this stuff.

But it is, it definitely is like you've trashed eight seasons of fucking Goodwill and also like a belief in like pacing and judgment. But also, HBO, is it the showrunner making the executive decision that we're gonna cram this all done in a season? Because HBO definitely would have greenlit you to do this over the course of two more seasons. Why not do, and do it well.

Just do everything you're doing, but do it at a pace that feels believable. Yeah, and well, you don't kill, you don't kill a sugar script. Don't kill it, you're killing like varies in Jamie and Cersei in one episode. That's too many. You're on, you're on Jamie Cersei. And the mountain. And the mountain. Oh, and the mountain and the hound. One episode, all dead.

Couldn't you have done an episode? We also met a mother and daughter just to watch them die. I believe, I believe. Yeah, they're like, it's like war is hell. It's like, we know. Yeah, we know, but that's the whole point of the show. You could have shown anybody burning up. It doesn't have to say, I mean,

it is a little girl and her mother's are. There is some subtext about like people together dying together Whatever whatever also to just apparently dragon just takes out an entire city. There's like no Why are you waiting for also do you know are we waiting? Why did we get all these these like armies together? You would think also sorry Dragon varies varies the master shadows or whatever you think you could have just gotten a heads up on the Dragon varies varies the master shadows or whatever you think you could have just gotten a heads up on the Meeting and just ducked away. He's escaped. He's he's a sort of like five kings or whatever

He's spied on he spied on every one of them and got all of them killed or Some had some hand in it and then now he's like, well, I guess just burn me up. I don't know. Just why not? You know, I can't keep doing this. It's fine. Just kill me. No, I thought that was yeah The how like the how and the mountain episode, that could have been a whole episode of them fighting. That could have been a whole thing that was happening. I would have watched 45 minutes of that. Actually, that fight was whatever, I don't care. I was basically Cersei who was like,

looking out what was gonna happen, I was like, bye. Bye. It was like, oh, finally, it's like, oh yeah, but like, not something dramatic about this because like, one, he's been talking about this for like eight seasons, and I'm like, okay, I. It's like, oh yeah, but like, not something dramatic about this because like one, he's been talking about this for like eight seasons. And I'm like, okay, I guess you guys are gonna fight now. But also, there's nothing to let up to it that was dramatic.

No. Like there was no. Also, he was fighting a zombie. Also, it wasn't even his knock. Arya's stark into the city to get all the way to the castle and be like, you shouldn't do this. It's a bad idea. And then she was like, yeah, yeah, you're right. All right, bye.

Yeah. We know one of the great fan theories that Arya's dead and that the white horse is her horse taking her to heaven. She's got horses in the back. There is an internet video where that horse seat is overlaid with all time around. Of course, there is. Of course, there is.

Of course, there is. And it was uploaded by a racist. He was still the live one. That's James Charles. Ari is, I mean, I think Ari is alive. So it means the thing, it's like, oh, it's, it's history repeating itself. It's like, you know, the mad queen has taken control.

And so nothing we do matters now. Now, now they're going to kidnap something about like kidnapping Sansa Stark because like her and Denaries are hate each other and then once that happens the all the star should be like we have to defend our sister Yeah, and then go get her and then apparently Gendry who's a Baratheon is gonna like be involved because now he's like become like a lord or whatever and then Tyrion is like the gonna be the Kingslayer because his brother was like, it's all gonna be like a repeat of the what's start

of the show, which is like fine, but you could have gotten there in a way less hand-fisted way. Yeah. Also, they cannot write for women. I'm sorry, the dialogue to the plots, to that they just don't understand women at all. They cranked it down considerably.

Like, they never were great at it. Yeah, I mean, they stopped doing like a rape in episode. That's a big improvement for them. But look, that's the world that these people live in. Okay, it's rape city USA. Rape city, West.

West. West. Yeah, they've done fewer rapes and they've shown more butts. Welcome to Dragon Rape Island. More male butts in penises. Yeah. This is always welcome.

Yeah, that's who we're all looking for. Anyhow, so yeah, I'm sure we're all going to be very disappointed with the final episode. Of course we are. I mean, I do not think one next day there'll be pieces about the prequel. I do not think one episode is enough to wrap it all up given what I've seen thus far.

One, it was it six hours long, one six hour long episode might do it. I just feel like when a sitcom gets canceled and CBS tells them they have two week left to finish the show. Yeah, I was like, never even start might do it. I just feel like when a sitcom gets canceled and CBS tells them they have two week left to finish the show. I was like, how do we wrap up all these loose ends? Yeah. All right, what else?

What else? I went to the OnePlus 7 Pro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna write some thoughts on that device which I'm gonna talk about right now. I'm gonna write about next week. Write about or do something with. I'm not really sure yet.

It's a tight little piece. I, well, take it easy, okay. It is. I'm gonna have to call age hard. I'm gonna slap that thing on its battery cover. Wow. Here's also a OnePlus. I think that they have taken the right approach

on the screen. Hell yeah, that's not. The screen is gorgeous. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't look down with the fucking notch on my pixel and I'm like this is a disgusting mistake. This is a horrible idea and there 90 Hertz display I played with it for two seconds now every display is trashed the um, so I got a I got a razor phone Which is made by the gaming company the gaming PC maker people who are super into playing

That that screen has a I believe it's 120 hertz. Ooh, and it's really nice. Yeah. It's a very noticeable subtle. Like when you scroll, it looks like a piece of paper rather than like a jittery. Well, like I think it's actually interesting that we haven't explored this more on these devices. The screen's so small that like,

that you really see the difference between like, what is it like typically like a 60 hertz refresh rate. It's very, very distinct to see the difference on these phones. And I'm not you down for Netflix, you don't get that like soap opera stuff. Yeah, and I think, and I think, so I'm excited about this,

they've improved the camera. How much it's improved, I'm, I really wanna get into that camera. I'm gonna be doing some serious, some serious comparisons, but I, what I will say is it's like, what is it? 799? So there's 699? 669, I think. I mean, by comparison to like, uh, I want to do for the base model. Yeah. Well, the 7 pro

is the one that you want. Yeah, you want that 12 gigs of RAM. You want all the RAM. You want all the RAM. Run 1000 instances of Google keep. I'm just looking for, where's the website? They run a website. There it is. 1plus.com. That was hard to find. Yeah, the 1 plus 7 pro, 699. And I think that this is a really nice phone for that price. Really nice.

Really nice. And we're talking about the thing that you lose by going with that slightly cheaper price, it's like wireless charging, which I hate. Yeah. And I got that quick, I mean, I charge whatever. Honestly, I have, I believe my phone is wireless charging. I never use it.

I never use it. I hate it. I bought a bunch of charges and put them around the apartment thinking I would be that person. And I'm not. I actually have the pixel stands up. I have the pixel stand for this, but I use it. I gave it to Laura for her to charge her iPhone.

It works, by the way, because Laura is the worst charger of all time. She's like wakes up at the morning, she's like, my phone has 2%. It's like, it's because you didn't fucking charge it overnight. And it had like 10% when you went to sleep. So, so yeah, so I've gotten her to finally like start actually using charging, which is great.

But yeah, dude, I mean, I think fast charge is more useful than wireless charging. Definitely. And and the I mean, I want to see and see real world what it's like, but they were touting how much battery improvement that the 7 pro has because of their display technology and yeah, that is a big deal to me. Yeah, my iPhone doesn't get through today. No, I mean, this battery life is the thing where it's like, how have we not gotten much better with this? It's crazy to me, like, anyhow. But so I'm excited about it. I think it's interesting.

I think that the product of those new headphones sound amazing. I don't like the whole look, but they sound really good. And anyway, so I think what it's interesting to see this company that has been known as kind of a cheap but solid option is actually seems to be starting to be a source of like a leader in this. I do think like what they've done with the screen is really smart. You know, at the end of the day, it's a phone.

Yeah, but I think it's like these conversations about phone. I saw, I saw people doing, they're like, I have the embargoed review. Here's 3,000 words on it. No, just be like have the embargoed review. Here's 3000 words on it No, just be like the screen's good the battery life is great the camera is here's camera comparisons Who's this for buy here's the pluses with the pixel here's the classes with the one plus here's the pluses with the Galaxy it's sort of incredible and this will be addressed soon with the launch of input input mag calm change the whole internet Just change no more racism on YouTube. That's right.

We're actually fixing racism on the internet. That's the, that's the true, the horror. This is Steve. Yeah, input mag.com fixing racism on the internet. No, but I think we're gonna address a lot of like the late, like what I think is lazy and expected and annoying ways of like reviewing things that you don't need to like, you don't need to read the Bible on it.

You just need somebody to tell you, somebody with like, who knows what they're talking about, how to tell you like, should tell you like, this is the fucking deal. Anyhow, that's a whole other thing, whole tangent, not gonna get into you, but do we do this Huawei stuff at all? Yeah, let's talk about Huawei.

Well, I mean, Trump in his hand-fisted... Infinite wisdom. Yeah, well like, look, Trump is completely blue this Chinese tariff negotiation. And now the Chinese are like, oh yeah, well, like, look, Trump is completely blue this Chinese tariff negotiation. And now the Chinese are like, oh yeah, okay, cool. Enjoy paying 25% more for every product that gets imported into your country, which is all the things that the people

who live in your country want, and also all the components that go into things that people in your country want. And Trump's part of the deal. Yeah, the deal maker. You guys, the deal maker. You just, you just, just dropping a deal right on the, in the middle of the floor,

just like, just puts the deal down on the, in the middle of the floor, just like, just puts the deal down, drops pants, the deal, drops out. Um, anyhow, he chucked John's into that deal right into China's lap. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Um, Trump is, he has a ban now. He's banning Huawei.

He's banning like a bunch of telecom stuff. He's like, you know, oh, it's a security risk. It's like, this is so, I mean, yes, I'm sure that's good. We should, all of a stuff. He's like, you know, it was a security risk. It's like, this is so, I mean, yes, I'm sure that's good. We should. All of a sudden, he's like, really interested in what the intelligence, what the intelligence, uh, uh, uh, have to say. All the intelligence groups in America are like, he's like, the CIA says, this is really important. It's like, really, they said that you also were like, uh, Russian asset, but that doesn't seem to be. And that you only get information from them in the form of cartoons. Just claim or I know this is going to be this part will be taken and used in some kind

of alt-right podcasts where they cut out the first part. You're so phobia. As a joke, we know that C.A. didn't say he was a Russian asset. They didn't need to say it because it's obvious that he is since he has secret meetings with Putin and then talks about how Putin's fucking great and Putin didn't do anything even though every intelligence Age is in America says that he does he did so anyhow, but getting back to This Huawei thing so yes, they're they're banning like Chinese telecom equipment now that we actually they did a thing a while ago

About 5G networks and how like we've got to keep Chinese technology 5G technology out of America because because it's gonna be like, they can be able to intercept our communication systems or something. And it's like, yeah, first off, that shit's not possible. There are no companies here that are making the kinds of things that you wanna make to like, we just don't have the talent or the skill set or the production capacity to do what needs to be done. Because, well, that's a whole other story.

It's just like, I just like, we're living in this like weird fantasy world. Now we're also going to a war with Iran. That's the new thing. Oh, yeah. We're doing like an Iraq war too. Do you guys like reboots? Yeah.

Trump's like, well, there's no way I can possibly really win reelection unless maybe there's a war going on while I'm running. Do you have any wars on the shelf? We could pull out. They're like, you know, it was a good villain as his vague Middle Eastern people. That'll work.

Just we get to get some. The same logic as Iron Man. Yeah, exactly. Iron Man too. They're Iron Man. They're like, let's just use, let's just, let's just, I don't know, they're brown. It's reboot the Iron Man plot basically.

So yeah, so there's a lot of cool stuff going on where politics in the world, we live in. Yeah, we live in a great, normal country. Very cool world, everybody is very cool and smart and normal and very legal. Things are very healthy and safe. And yeah, so I don't really, I don't really have anything to say about this except

it's a fucking joke. The guy's a joke. So on the one hand, I'm like, you know, look, if the economy tanks, and that's like the one thing that he's sort of holding on, he's got his, his coconut. His coconut. His coconut is like clutching onto the economy.

And if that coke nail gets down, boff at any point. But then it's like, why don't want the economy to tank? I mean, it's gonna. They might. I mean, I'd rather it tank well timed for the 2020 election than just in the hot right now. No, right.

I'd like to see a little bit of a one, two like economy tanks and impeachment hearings begin, and then the next month is the election. Yeah. That feels about right to me. And then we've got president to Blasio. Well, then, great segue. And then I can finally vote for

Bill to Blasio. William D. Blasio. Who will stop all the trains around the entire country. He's like, from ever running. Well, I'll say, no trains. I don't look, the people are like the Blasio sucks. I think whatever, he's fine. He's like, that the worst mayor we've ever had,

he's not the best mayor. He's a mayor. He he's fine. He's like, he's like, that the worst mayor we've ever had, he's not the best mayor. He's a mayor. He's a mayor. He's a mayor of New York. They're always gonna be shit on. Yeah. You're always gonna be like, fuck this guy for X whatever.

I mean, he sucks, but he, you know, he's no Rudy Giuliani. Very good. Remember when he was like, I'm gonna serve a full term guaranteed. I see, as he placed a piece of, a bite of pizza on a fork into his mouth and said go red socks. What's the subway remember the controversy remember the controversy about that?

It's I mean actually it's perfect like we should have seen what was coming When it was like people were talking about him eating pizza with a fork and a knife that we should have known what was what was in store We're gonna get this is what man is political. No. What were we gonna get? This is what man did. This is political. No, I'm saying political discourse. This is what we're talking about. Oh no, do jeans him as dye? What?

Hold on, I see it. I just saw him the other day. His name is trending, did he die? Every time I see a name trending, no. Kiss, rock, or jeans him as vizis, pentagon on a different mission. It's a great tweet. As tensions between Iran and the United States

and Creos in Middle East, the pentagon briefroom is being used to host jeans Simmons of Kiss. The world is so big. But with DOD employees, like what is going on? What the fuck is going on? I guess this is like Trump's invited Gene Simmons into the he's like, I love that you shook me all night long. He's like, that's not my song. I saw him the other day outside of a restaurant

and it's like, you can see from the first time? No, Gene Simmons. You can tell from a mile away it's Gene Simmons. Like you just know. In your bones. Seven feet tall and like, it looks like a maniac. And the other thing is he has the same silhouette and body language as Lisa Vanderbomb.

Ha ha ha. They make up level two. Yeah, same plastic surgery. Ha ha ha ha. He definitely sets some work done level two. Yeah, same plastic surgery. He definitely said some work done, right? Yeah, oh, absolutely. I'm sorry. That kind of ham-fisted 80s work where they were like, we're just gonna like, pull it all this way.

Yes, it's like from Brazil, like the fucking stretching machine they have in Brazil. No, okay, anyhow, I don't know. I thought he was dead because I saw his name trending. And, he saw Jessica, but the other day. Rick Flair, is he dead? Oh, conflict your reports and words about Rick Flair's health. Oh, that's not good.

Sorry Rick. Anyway. At any rate. At any rate. All right, what else is on our list of horrible things to discuss? We should talk about this was just announced that Microsoft and Sony are teaming up together

for cloud gaming and artificial intelligence stuff. So Sony's gonna pull all of its cloud gaming stuff from Amazon and put it on Microsoft Azure platform. And it's just another one of those deals that Microsoft seems to be doing, like putting games on the switch and stuff where their philosophy is like, if you can't beat them, absorb them.

That's a good, that's a's a great board very well for Facebook. Yeah, worked very well. Tell them how. It's tell them how. And it's just surreal to see the like, to see these two companies working together on this. I'm not. It is strange.

I'm not excited about gaming and birth, personally, I mean, I think Google Stadia really scared the shit out of them where they were like, we're not getting fucking say good here. Well, personally. I mean, I think Google Stadia really scared the shit out of them where they were like, we're not getting fucking say good here. Well, yeah, I mean, I'm gonna do our own thing. I mean, cloud gaming is, it sounds good in theory until you get like, weird latency. Yeah, or until they pull a game that you bought

and return your money and say, oh, we don't want you to have this game. Well, that's like Amazon polls books. Yeah, they have. I mean, that's like Amazon polls books. Yeah, they have. I mean, that's always a danger of virtual content. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, I signed up for Nintendo's Switch Online. Yeah, and I got the Nintendo Classic thing.

Yeah, which is like great, this free. Like, they have all the games. They're just sitting there. They need to put Super Nintendo games on there, but yeah, they should do that. But they also add online functionality, so you could play with friends. Oh, really? Which is kind of cute. They go back into the realm and they're like, we did a realm hack.

I love it. I'm trying to figure out like, you guys remember Ice Climbers? I'm trying to figure out what else I can do with it. And like, right now I don't know. But I don't know. I started just hoarding roms and like, I have so much of that shit because I'm just nervous. Yeah. I went through my old gaming like shit to be like, okay, what can I get rid of? I own tons of super Nintendo cartridges, but I can't find any of my Genesis ones, so I just started like hoarding everything.

Yeah, I mean, you can just go on BitTorne and get every ROM. That's what I did. That's what I did. I literally every ROM ever for the super Nintendo is like a file you can download. Yeah, they're all on my Mac. It did say, yeah, it's outrageous. But, uh, the cloud gaming thing is like, I you can tell. Yeah, they're all in my mac. It's insane. Yeah, it's outrageous. But you the cloud gaming thing is like,

I'm getting back to that for a second. The cloud gaming thing is, it sounds great. I'm sure it'll be fine. I just don't, I just don't, I think AI is way more interesting. Because at a certain point, you'll be able to tell the AI like, well, instead of having to animate everything by hand

and being like, okay, we want an office building, we gotta go in and like, fucking pixel by pixel build up. I do that now. But you could just straight up say to the AI, give us an office building that's 12 floors. Is that exists? Yeah, yeah, I'm saying that's way more exciting because you can make lots of different games

with lots of different ideas and they don't all have to try to hit every blockbuster bullet point where you're like, it's about a father and son with micro transactions you can play online All the games all the new games are like there's so much stuff going on like I'm like listen I just want to I just want to walk around a post-apocalyptic hell world. Okay. I just want to be a plumber Yeah, I just want to be a plumber bonkin mushrooms Bunks I'm dinosaur's on the him head. What a bonkk, is what a bonk, is that too much to ask?

No, but did I tell you, I actually had it like at a moment I was playing Days Gone, which I formed up to. I've told you about this. I was a lot of time, I was last week. But I was like, one of my favorite things to do is just admire the foliage and games. Like I really love games where I can watch like the grass blowing in the breeze or whatever.

I loved in Breath of the Wild just standing on top of a mountain and being like, I own all that. I need to get, I need to do more, I need to play Breath of the Wild more. I keep on my, on my Switch I keep wanting to be, I'm like, I need an immersive open world game that's like really fun to play and I have like LA Noir which is good but it's a little like, the controls are like pretty fucking bad. Yeah, pretty slow. And the graphics are, it is a glitch fucking patch. Yeah, and the graphics are greatly diminished. I mean, it was great on the Xbox One. I'll tell you that.

It's not a well built game, but it's got great ideas in there. And I love the environment, but it's just not tight. As much on the Switch, it's gotta be like, No, no, it's like, it's chunky. It's definitely chunky. But I was just saying saying I was saying to Laura the other man is like wow like the next generation Consoles are gonna be nuts. They're gonna be I mean ray tracing the graphics to like beast mode like the graphics performance Because right now they're like the ps4 is old as shit

Yeah, and I don't even have a pro. I just have the regular PS4 and it's come to match. And it's come to what we're about to get. Like I can be playing my PS4 pro and think, okay, this looks great. But when I start looking at videos with like ray tracing with like just like the maxed out specs, it gives me that feeling I got when I first saw crisis

where I'm like, oh, we're about to like step into something. Crisis. I love that people are still like, could it play crisis? It's still a thing on the internet. It's like that's from when the internet was like largely good. Yeah, that was like, okay. There was a 12 month, there was a sweet spot, 2006.

It was hot. Yeah, anyhow, but informs. So I'm fine with the cloud gaming stuff. It'll be great. I'm glad to see Google and Microsoft working together. I think that's, you know, or Sony, sorry, Sony and Microsoft working together. Mm-hmm., you know, or Sony, sorry, Sony and Microsoft working together. Google def, they definitely, like, you know,

one thing is true is that Google is, is hated by both Apple and Microsoft and Sony. And well, in Sony, yeah, although they have a little bit of a relationship, a little bit more of a relationship. Yeah. So it'll be interesting to see what this is like, but I don't know. I mean, fine.

Who cares about the fucking servers? I guess. I don't, I guess what I'm saying. I don't care about the server. I just wanna see the fucking boxes at this point. Like just show us what you're building. I wanna know if the PS5 is gonna be. Do you wanna see the server or you wanna see the server?

No, the like console. I wanna know if I'm getting a home console like the PS4 or if I'm getting some hybrid situation or what's happening. What I want, here's what I want. I want Sony to make the Uber Switch. I know. I want them to make the Switch on steroids and it's this. It's like, and call it the Vita, just like Dex. It's like PS, it's like PS4 level graphics when you're using it handheld. And then when you drop it onto the base, which is a massive sick fucking GPU. It's like the most intense high-end graphics performance

you can get, but the games are the same game just downgraded or whatever. Yeah, and they should sell the base model at $2.99 or whatever. And then the GPU dock thing, it's expensive, it's either five-year bucks. For the people that really want to blow their asses off. Yeah, that's what I want. You want the thing that, for taking blow your ass off.

Yeah, yeah. I guess the only question there is storage. But I mean, you should be able to put like, I don't know, 500 gigs in that easy. Yeah. So you can put like four games on it. The games are ridiculous. I mean, it's getting absurd.

Far Cry is like, this is 150 gigabyte download or something. No, like, yeah, Red Dead Redemption is like, I over 100 gigs. It's, yeah. Red Dead Redemption is two blue rades. It's over 100 gigs. Red Dead, take my horse. Okay, huh.

To the PS5. I'm gonna PS4. 105 gigs. 105 gigs. Boom. 105 gigs of Old Town Road. By the way, that's like, no seriously, 65 gigs are just roads. Yeah, true.

That's actually just old roads. Here's the dark just old road. All right, what else? What's on our list? It's been a very depressing week. A lot of horrible shit going on. We are living literally in the Handmaid's Tale. I never was like, it's like the Handmaid's Tale.

And it's like Ged, no it is like the Handmaid's Tale. Like we are definitely like Alabama. So I don't want to get into it. I mean, you're talking about abortion stuff. I mean, I mean, I could spend hours being angry about it, but I'm going to put that energy into electing candidates who will stop the madness in this country. But Alabama passed an abortion law

that if you're a, this is the law. if you're a 12 year old girl and you get raped by your father and you get you are impregnated you have to have that baby which is fucking insane. I mean it's like actually one of the most insane things like that's a law now in Alabama. Yeah. And I'm sure it will be used liberally in Alabama. What's shocking to me is like, I guess like my response or like everyone's response, like I don't even feel... It's like I can't even, like I go to tweet and I'm like this is useless.

I don't feel useless. I should be getting on a plane and like through like virtual law. Final revolution. Yeah. Yeah. Like that's feels like that. Like when I watch the handmade sound, I'm like, oh, I will, I would build the bomb and stop this. No, it's like, why law. Final revolution. Yeah. No, I mean, that feels like that. Like when I watched a handmade sound, I'm like, oh, I would build the bomb and stop this.

No, it's like, why am I not? This is, but this is, I think this is like, like frozen in response to this. I mean, everything that is happening, everything that's happening, like, for instance, there was, I just saw a tweet a thread about this, woman who was put, just voted, the Senate just voted for a lifetime federal seat judge,

who is like insane pro-life anti-abortion, like just like a lie spreader, says like abortions cause cancer. Like they don't, by the way. Cause breast cancer, abortions cause breast cancer. It's just to give them a lifetime appointment on a circuit court. And it's like a federal court, sorry.

And everything, I mean, everything that the Trump administration is doing is exactly like the kinds of things you do when you are trying to create a- And frankly, it's an ass- No, a fascist ass- No, it's just not well-intentioned. Like, I can't even sit and argue with people

who are like, well, this is a sincerely held belief and they think they're in the world, but it isn't. There's the new story too that Trump and Barr are refusing to defend the ban on female genital mutilation inside the US. But this is like when they were like, yeah, you like those kids, you know?

This is like when there is a ban on, like what is the sense, sincere belief there? No, the sincere belief is like, we should chop off everybody's genitals, like women, like what the fuck are you talking about? This is when they were like they they reverse the thing Where it's okay to kill hybrid any bears we the laws like you can't kill a hybrid eating bear

They were like no we got to get rid of that. It's like why what is the it's like do you have to be 100% evil like I'm that's unclear Like they're like they're like we're 98% evil making tampons out of razor blades The new thing is that Halloween candy. It's mandated that a razor blades in the Halloween candy. You don't get non-raising like it. I have a sincere religious belief that children need to chew on razor blades. Let's just lay out a couple things. Religion is evil.

Organized religion is a virus. Yeah. Not the old town road kind. A worse kind. Because you can't get it out of your head. It's brain worms. I mean, all of the Republicans have worms in their brains. There's like something, I think whatever their evil upbringing

is actually rotting their brains. I'm sorry, I know everybody's like, it's literally super villain logic. I know everybody's like, make fucking shit. I know everybody's like, you gotta reach across the aisle. It's like, I'm not reached across the aisle. They're all the hell of machetes. They're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna, as soon as you gotta reach across the aisle. It's like, I'm not reached across the aisle. They're all the health machetes. Like, they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna,

they're gonna be able, as soon as my hand goes across the aisle, they wanna cut it off and they wanna use the hand to stop an abortion or something. I don't know what they're gonna do with it, but like, the Republicans have to be stopped. They are a terrorist party. They're a terrorist insurgent party in our government. Donald Trump is the leader of an insurgent party.

And I'm like extremely desperately frightened about where this kind of time. We're not having a peaceful transition of power. Like I got news for you on this jockeying of presidential candidates. We got to make sure we actually have an election. Now look, now look, the Republicans who hear this are the ones who like tweeted me every once in a while

will be like, like, you Donald Trump's just driving you crazy. You can't handle it. You, you, you saw a boy, you're whatever's like, no, like what's going on is fucked up and insane. It is a reversal of the progress that we've made as humanity over the last like several hundred years. And if you believe in the stuff that Donald Trump believes in, you're fucking idiot and you're bad,

you're a bad person. Yeah, I'm sorry, like it's just like, there's no way to look at this. Like, like, we're beyond your like, trollish fucking, like I don't think, I don't think like, I don't think there are the the the i don't think that the the two cells of the rapist get to become a baby like i'm sorry it's not that's not how it should work now i think that the important

thing is the living human being that is that exists with a fucking brain and a life and we have devalued that person we devalued women in their lives in this country we devalued immigrants in their lives in this country we devalued immigrants in their lives in this country We devalued people of color and at the LGBTQ community and like to we devalued life so much I mean we're except for white infant mortality except for white Christians and Jews who are pro you know insanely pro Israel we've devalued so much of the life in this country that it's like actually fucking disturbing a watch Anyhow I'm not gonna I I don't wanna spend too much time

on this, I go read, everybody should go read, I've talked about it before in the Garden of Beasts. It's a book about Nazi Germany and the years leading up to the actual Holocaust. And it is exactly what's happened in America. I recommend it, if you're feeling depressed about the situation, I recommend putting time, energy, and money into campaigns of people that you believe in.

Yeah, I don't normally, on the show, I try to avoid telling people where to put their fucking money on when it comes to candidates or whatever. Like I try to keep it pretty broad strokes and let you make your own decisions. But with this, it's like if you have any disposable income and you're happy to be spending it on some bullshit, can you throw $10 somewhere?

Or spend a few hours like doing, you know, like doing some volunteer work or anything, like money, time, energy, don't go on Twitter and tell people how mad you are. Yeah, stop searching for handmaid's tailgifts and realize that like if you saw someone in the handmaid still doing that, you'd scream at your TV because they were fucking idiot who isn't helping. Yeah, what we need to do is we need real physical action in the world. And frankly, like I do worry that like we gonna get to a point where that action is going.

We've already seen this like the political landscape become so much more violence since Donald Trump has become president. And that's because he stoked tremendous anger on the left rightfully so. But he's also stoked violence on it within his own party. And, you know, it's sad to imagine a situation where we get there and like we have the luxury

in many ways, you know, you and I, but lots of people, particularly people live in New York have the luxury of being somewhat protected from what is going on in the rest of the world, but like what's going on in Alabama is a national shame and we should be we should be ashamed and disgusted by it and anyhow anyway let's move on we're talking about cell phones yes

everybody else I can't take it Bryzen's 5G now we're taking it down the speeds yeah I just saw a video somebody on 5G I'm like okay I'm on now I'm on now I'm on now you're finally found a way to make 5G I'm like okay I'm on now I'm on now you're finally found a way to make 5G industry which is like it's really fucking fast like they all the day they just need to be like the ad for 5G like all the conversation should be just been like 5G is gonna be really ridiculously fast like it's gonna be so fast it will fuck you up when you see it

I know I was so fast but I also know it's gonna be so bad for us if you be so fast as be so fast that he will obviate the need to have Fios. We, yes. We'll be also as a society, maybe to have just for two seconds the conversation of maybe we don't, maybe our phones should be slow. We just slow our phones down.

You know here's a thing that's interesting. Maybe we don't need it to be Fios. Honestly, you do get to a point, first off, there's like one person on the 5G network right now. It's like, look at my gigabit performance. It's great. It's like, you're downloading it. Everyone's like, good job, Greg.

You're doing the speed test and no one else is using it. On the one block. Yeah, they're like, there's one 5G user. So that's fine and good and whatever, but I'm just, I don't know, what happens when everyone's on the network? When we're all 5G, when When all five Gs are around. Do they have enough Gs?

Oh, this is the infinity gauntlet with Gs. Yeah. Once you collect all the Gs, you're able to download a game fast. Like, you can download Red Dead Redemption on your phone. I just got this notification. Mega Man's Free Fighter II coming to the Genesis Mini. Yeah, oh cool. I'm gonna play the worst version of Free Fighter II coming to the Genesis Mini. Yeah, oh cool, like let me play the worst version

of Free Fighter II, like why? I preverted it. I did. The Genesis Mini. Yeah. I just like having to get the Genesis games for your Switch, the 50 games, right? Yeah.

I got the Italian version. So for some reason I ordered it online and it came to me in Italian. But it's great, I love it. It's really tight and the controls feel great There's no like Old toad beast It's like oh rise from your grave I'm not very racist and wrong

For the record. I'm doing the Mario voice. Yeah, okay. Oh rise from your grave I saw an interview with the Mario guy and he like constantly does the voice Oh, really? It's like cuz why wouldn't you if you were the Mario guy you would just pepper everything with it It's me. Oh, wow right Yeah, it's pretty good impersonation. I'm from Long Island. Oh Strong Island is I like long Island long Island. Um, all right all right no takes long A lot of good stories in the site this week have week. I don't have you checked out the outline lately. Great stuff on here.

That is a website. It's a website, theoutline.com, check it out. We actually had a great story. You know, Brandy Jensen, who runs the Power section, also social, social, one of the greatest tweeters of all time. She's our James Charles. She's our James Charles. She's our James Charles. Now, she wrote a,

she does a calm cut, ask a fuck up, and the one today is I just found out my boyfriend is pro-life, and I have to say I'm not gonna ruin it for you, but it's worth reading all the way to the end, okay? It's tough stuff. Did you play with those Snapchat filters? You know what I didn't, and I won't.

And I hate filters, and I'm out of the whole filter game. I'm not interested. They make you into a real boy. I don't want, I don't and I'm out of the whole filter game. I'm not interested. They make you into a real boy. I don't want, I don't need any. Everybody looks like that. I don't need to look. I don't need to look at myself as a lady. In any way, at all.

I don't need to see it. So you don't want a phone that pops up selfie camera. You just don't want any selfie camera. It would not be a problem for me if my phone had no selfie camera. Yeah. I just don't, I've done some selfies. You saw a Suces one that flips the camera around, right?

I'm glad the new trend, the new notch trend is gonna be like funky, weird, game-boy camera. Like cameras that are like a bouncy thing, like an antenna that bounces back and forth, it has a camera on the end of it. It's gonna be like a selfie stick, but it's gonna be like the thing, it's a telescoping thing that comes out and it puts like this camera way, far away, outside of your phone. And it can take a picture of you holding your phone. It's like you on the phone is the selfie. Anyhow. No, I haven't seen that phone. All right, let's talk about nice things. Do you

have any nice things for me? Oh my God, nice things. Nice things. Let me think for a zoom on nice things. Well, think about it. I really enjoyed Dead to Me on Netflix. So it's Christina Applegate and Linda Cardolini. It feels like a show time show. Remember when show time shows were all like, for this half hour, a woman has a secret. There were always like different secrets,

but it was always like an actress in her 40s who looked incredible for her age would like, be like a secretly, a weed dealer, a secretly, had cancer secretly, was the president. There's always a secret. That's kind of what this show is, if it was made on HBO and then they cut half of the characters for budget.

And it's kind of a weird tone and premise, but I like it. So there aren't a lot of people on the show. There's a handful of characters, but it does storylines that you would think would fit in under like big little eyes or something, but it's also a dark comedy. It's just a weird ass show. I don't know how it got made, but I like it. It's good. I'm pro. It, um, yeah, I don't know. Watch it. I liked it. And then other nice things. Um, oh,

um, my other nice thing was it's another TV film thing, but I really enjoyed Detective Pikachu. It wasn't, it's not Shakespeare, the dialogue wasn't a sparkly. Oh, how do we not even talk about Detective Pikachu? But I love to talk about it. How do we not have a lengthy conversation about the mission? Because you have no thoughts about Pokemon, you hate Pokemon. We were trying to figure out if it would be an okay movie to take Zelda to. It is except for, there's like one scary scene where you're gonna have to.

Also what's a mystery? What's a mystery? Mr. Mime. Mr. Mime looks very upsetting. Yeah. It's like flash, flash, flash, terrifying. Yeah, it's really an uncanny.

So in the world of Detective Pikachu, Pokemon characters and regular humans live side by side. Yeah, and all Pokemon they do. But the world is like, they're just there. Yeah, and do we know where they came from? Do we know, do we get any origin story in this show? Not in the movie, no. It's just about a city where instead of fighting with Pokemon, like people, it's like

their culture in that city is to like hang out with them as your friends. Is it other people fighting with them? Elsewhere in the world? Yeah, you battle, you train and battle. Oh, you mean fighting them against each other, like in the games? Yeah, yeah. Not humans fighting with them.

No, right. That's bad guys, criminals will do that, that nonsense. It's weird, it's a weird concept, it's because the Pokemon like to fight. Yeah, and they don't, like, they never die. They all like fiends, and they wanna get better and stronger and grow with you. I don't know, it is kind of dog fighting,

but you kind of have to like, it's dog. Quint and pretend that it's not. It's a lot of us that dog fight. Yeah. You're like, oh, my little animal's gonna battle. You're a little animal, so one of them fiends.

Passes out. And then we'll take them to our magic hospital where we can incidentally cure them. So none of this was like necessary. We're just doing this for fun And they also can get like power ups, right? Yeah, yeah, but in this movie It's like a mystery movie take place that takes place in a city in the Pokemon world where they don't battle So we just get to see Pokemon do little jobs that are specific to their thing or whatever Mm-hmm, it was adorable and fun and great and I loved it

that are specific to their thing or whatever. And it was adorable and fun and great. And I loved it. Mm-hmm. I was very happy. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And then the credits were in like eight-foot-pit Game Boy graphic pillars. Oh, very good.

We all had a fun time. And I laughed and went home and said, ha-ha, we have fun. Very good. All right, well, let me tell you about my nice things. OK. OK, I'm going to do a couple. I got a couple.

Number one, Nurea and other Sally Rooney book. As you know, I'm a Roon Hound, here a real Roon Hound. Can't stop crushing Roon. No, Sally Rooney is a very good writer, and if you want, you can read her books. I would describe this one that I'm reading is called Conversations with Friends. It's like a, if David Lynch wrote a romantic romance.

So if David Lynch wrote, if David Lynch wrote the romantic parts of Jane Eyre. Oh my God. Let's just say that basically it's like, not a lot happens, but it all is filled with dread. And it's also a romance. Sort of. Amazing.

He asked, there's a great website that I like to look at. Every once in a while I'll see one of these pop in my feed because I follow some people who've done them. It's called Famicase.com, do you know it? It's like, people make, it's F-I-M-I-C-A-S-E.com. It's like, people make their own Famicom games. Famicom is the NES, the Japanese version of the NES. And they make their own designs for Famicom games

that never existed. Oh, I did see this. Yeah. Theyom games. Oh, I did see this. They never existed. Oh, I have seen that. And they're really, really, really fucking cool looking. Yeah, I love this one. In Finnecarts, which I think the game is like a game of cartridges. Yeah, or in-stiquest.

How many ROMs can you fit in a regular card? Try to figure out which chips work and see if you can cram a lot of games as a new puzzle game from Lord Tune Industries. Here's one called InstaQuest where I guess you it's like a it's like an RPG Where you play as an Instagram influence. Yeah, here's RPG video game a story of friendship love and loss follow warrior on an adventure to save the world from an old evil force It's like a generic RPG. It's really good. I love this Here's Mick regles up The state of the art, Inpeca Arc, you state of the art, Inpeca Arc TM tech to explore wind torn ramparts and complete the Finnishly vertical, Scroon Castle Challenge. Mick's done it again.

Just alter an inline your screen to progress through every stage and reach optional functionality. Yeah, good. Bstary. They share Oracle readings trivia from the gods recipes for spells or gossip. Beware of the cursed ones. Some beasts are better left in the dark. My mythical creatures discover rare ones and store them in a catalog. It's fine, mythical creatures, but anyhow. That's great. It's very good. Some of the designs are really awesome.

A designer named Corey Schmitz, who I follow, who did a bunch of designs. He did the early polygon designs, and he designs some stuff, a bunch of stuff for Vox. He also designed the, he designed, I want to say he maybe designed a video game logo that we all see and love. He's a very good designer. Let me find out when I'm gonna say he maybe designed like a video game logo that we all see and love. He's a very good designer, let me find out when I'm- Well though while you put mine that out, Melon Town Medicine. Trouble is brewing in the town of Sweetseed.

You are Melum, mayor's daughter, and only you can stop juice thirsty vingoons from slipping the down dry. Use a bag full of pills, you doctorate to solve over 200 winding puzzles a bag full of pills really got me Corey Schmidt's designed the logo for the game control which is a new game is coming out that looks really cool for the For video game systems. He designed the analog The logo for the for the company that makes all the systems

He designed the eight-bit dough logo, which is the company that makes all like the old school controllers He did I have say like this is I is where I will part ways with Corey. He did redesign the Verge logo and I believe no offense, Corey, you're a wonderful designer, did not improve it. But it's a, there's a long, long history with that one. But anyhow, really awesome designer and he's done, he, the polygon logo, which I always thought was fucking sick as hell. Yeah. And anyhow, so he designed this,

he designed one of these, or a couple of these cartridges on the family case thing. But, so that's a nice thing. And then walking, okay, that's my other nice thing. I, a couple of times recently, have walked in the city because it's getting warmer. And it turns out like walking sometimes is actually enjoyable. Yeah, no walking science. When I was in high school, I was definitely that guy who was always

on a walk. I'd put like an audiobook on and my ipad and go for like a walk around the town. And I love it. It's very therapeutic and you get to use your legs. I love to use your legs. Mm. I love to use my legs. They did a real world. They do a real world family case exhibition they might have. Oh wow. Yeah, they did a real world where they did. It's on Corey's Instagram.

I really want that. His Instagram channel. His Instagram. I want to own all of them. So do I. I actually think it'd be cool he made those games. Yeah, that's what we should be doing. Yeah.

All right. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, and one other thing. I have not talked about. I didn't talk about Culture Sport last week, did I? I found this thing. I believe I found it because Christian Copa, who's a person I've fallen Instagram, who's a copa love some type, like Instagrambed it.

This thing called Culture Sport TV. Oh yeah, I liked it so much on the last Saturday. I like wrote a little thing about a little blog post about it. It's a really awesome new animated series that is a Kickstarter project. And I hope they get funded. Their funding goal is a million dollars for like 10 episodes.

And they started the project by releasing a full episode of the show. And it's like a very steeped in 90s slash anime, slash cyberpunk culture story about like an AI that becomes self-aware and does interesting stuff. And there's like drugs and music and raves and fucking weird, all good stuff. Characters, it's really cool, it's beautifully animated and I recommend that you check out, you can read my post about it on the, on the outline.com or you can go to the Kickstarter project, it's called Culture Sport One Word. And they definitely, you know, I think it deserves to be back there. I hope they, it looks very set.

Their initial goal is 75 grand. I think they can get there, but I encourage everybody if you want to. I mean, I, I have no material connection to it. I just want to see cool things in the world. So check it out. And that's it. I had a lot of nice things to turn down. Yeah.

I love things. I love nice things and I like talking about them. So that's cool. Like to use my legs. Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, that is our show for this week. We'll be back next week with more tomorrow and as always I wish you and your family the very best. So, I've just seen that Toddi Westbrook has posted a video about your family.
