I was about to tell them about... Hello to everyone out there listening in podcast land. This is the Multiplayer Gaming Podcast, where two old dads ramble about their thoughts on video games. I'd like to think we do a little bit more than that, but let's be honest here. You guys out there, you all know the routine. If you have not yet, please rate our podcast five stars, and please leave a review

that you have helped keep your favorite family-friendly podcast running i am your host paul and then we have my co-host he knows nothing in life but to be legit don't quote him boy because he ain't said nothing yet it's josh oh i started singing that in my head that's easy man yeah yeah going way back i'm showing the fact that we are two old dads yes talk about games yeah i thought i'd put a nice little nwa reference there you know it's funny i you know i'm not a huge fan of rap but i was down with easy e back in the day man so before we dive into today's episode we do have a new epic supporter on patreon thank him we must it's yoda oh yes thank you yoda yoda has been around for a while um you know super good dude, I, we were chatting before the show, but props to you Yoda, because he is an amazing rocket league player. Uh, I believe

he's pushing for grand champion. He's champ three. Uh, we've hopped into some matches. You know, I like to think I'm good at rocket league and then Yoda, Yoda is truly the master. Like I feel like he's you know the the little guy kind of quiet was just hanging out in discord but then like you go to mess with him and out comes the green lightsaber and then he just goes ham on everybody in rocket league of course but he reminds you that you're the padawanwan. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And then we also have another rare supporter. So we also want to give a shout out to Emery. And Emery, you're not with us on Discord, which is totally cool.

But that's your name here in Patreon. So we wanted to give you a shout out also. And just thank you so much to Yoda and Emery, along with all of our other supporters. We definitely appreciate it. You guys are the ones that keep the show running. We are very, very thankful and we definitely appreciate all the support and the love that you guys have shown us.

And I think here we also have a review that we wanted to read on the show. We do. And if you ever wanted to be cool, you know, this is, this is how you do it because this, this review is going to make a lot of sense here in just a second. But this one comes in from Nathan Eicher, five stars,

titled Podcast. It is a podcast. All right. So far, so good. We're accurate. Okay. And it says, This podcast is awesome. Been listening for a good while now. Just updated to Epic on Patreon. It's Yoda, by the way. Now, we did not pull this just because Yoda became an Epic supporter, but it just so happened that he also forgot that he had left us a review. But man, way to support the show. Way to help us out, man. These reviews help a ton. Obviously, the support on Patreon helps everything keep moving. The podcast is going places, man. You and I, we talk about it all the time, but it's pretty incredible to us to see the response

to this podcast, to be able to engage with the listeners out there. We talk about our Discord service so much because that's the way that we can do that, is we can chat with everybody. I mean, we love that you guys are tuning in and listening, but we can't have that two-way conversation on the show. And so it's really, really cool to be able to get to meet people and chat with them and stuff like that through Discord. But yeah, I mean, every review helps, every supporter helps. So Yoda, thank you very much from Paul and myself. It really does mean a lot to us and everybody else that's listening because it helps this podcast keep going. Yeah, absolutely. And also, tell a friend about the show. Shows like this

always grow by word of mouth. Josh and I love doing it. We'd love to be able to devote a little bit more time toward it. So if you're able to leave that review, rate us five stars, tell someone about the show, that would really go a long way. All right. Now, today we have a very special first time episode. Because we're going to be doing something that is brand new. And we definitely need to give a shout out here to That Cat Gaming. I believe we just talked about him in the last episode also, one of the OGs of the Multiplayer Gaming Podcast.

And he graciously offered, if we were interested, that he would solicit previous quotes on old shows. I think we've done something like 160 at this point dang and if people wanted to submit quotes along with the context of when they were said and then on the show we would read through the quotes try to guess who said it and what the context was and just take a little bit of a trip down memory lane at this point and so we said absolutely what a cool idea go ahead and put the quotes together josh and i can't do it because we can't see the answers. So he has graciously provided a Google Doc that Josh and I are in. We cannot see the answers until we highlight them.

And basically, we're just going to bounce back and forth, read a couple of old quotes, and see if we can remember what the context was, and just kind of reminisce a little bit. This is... I'm super excited for this one, man. Number one, 160 episodes. That's crazy, man. It feels like, it literally feels like a month ago when we started doing this podcast.

I'd like to think that we've become much more professional over the course of those 160 episodes. If you really want to see the difference, go back and listen to some of the early ones, man. I even just told you not long ago, I was like, at some point we should just scrub the earliest 20 to 30 episodes because they're probably not very good. Oh, they're great, Paul. They're great. Yeah, of course. They're very charming in their own way.

Those guys just giving it their all. All right. very charming in their own way. Those guys just giving it their all. Alright, so I think the last thing that we need to say before we start jumping into quotes is that if you are a relatively new listener to the show, you may not know that this show used to be three of us, and the original host

was our good friend Todd. He is my brother-in-law and our very close friend. We are still very close friends with him. However, because of his move to the East Coast and some changes with family and work, he just needed to step down from the show. So I think some of the quotes here might even be from Todd. So if that's who we guess, and if you don't know who Todd is, well, now you can know. He was the original host before I jumped in in his place.

So you got your quotes up, Josh? Are you ready to start running through these? I do. Now, you touched on this, but just so everybody's aware, we do not know the answers. They are blanked out on this doc that we're looking at. So we can see what the questions are, the quotes are, but we can't see the answer until we actually highlight it and then find out. So you guys will be discovering this right along with us if we get one wrong. I don't think it's going to happen, man. I've got a memory like an elephant. Well, yeah, you have the memory of the elephant. I've got the body of an elephant and we're a match made in heaven. Now, I was trying to be very careful not to read any of the quotes. I opened it to make sure that it wasn't just an empty doc. But I have not read through all of

these. I have read the first question and that is it. Just the first? Yes. Because my eyes can't not look at something. All right. Well, do you want to go first, Josh? You want to grab the first quote here? I do. I'm excited. Man. This is going to be a lot of fun because these are all going to pertain to things that happened on the show in the past. And it's going to be pretty funny to try to remember the context of these things too. Okay. First one. The quote is, who's in Mario Kart? Is it Mario? Who knows? But the Wii Mii is in there. Okay. I think I remember this context, and I think I know who said it. I'm pretty sure that this came in one of our tournaments. It was.

Where we were doing a draft, and I believe our good friend Todd was drafting Mario and was explaining what games Mario was in. And I believe that's when he pulled out the quote, who's in Mario Kart? Mario, who knows? Is this what you remember it being? It's exactly it. Now, to clarify, he wasn't talking about Mario. This was our most iconic video game characters tournament. And Todd, who was famous for these out-of-left-field answers sometimes.

Like, you and I are competing. We're like, oh, Zelda, Mario. We're really going for the win here. Yeah, and then Todd picks the Wii Mii as one of the most iconic characters. And you and I both lost it. And we're like, Todd, that is not like an iconic video game character. It's basically a mannequin. You know, like, how is that iconic?

And then that's when Todd went off and he was like, well, yeah, well, who's in Mario Kart? Is it Mario? Who knows? But the Wii Mii is... We're trying to argue for how the Wii Mii is one of the most iconic game characters. Man, you know, the worst thing about Todd one of the most iconic game characters. Man, you know, the worst thing about Todd stepping down from the pod is just the fact that we no longer have a third person to do the tournaments, because it was really fun to do the draft and then the round-by-round matchups, but that just has to lay to rest,

at least for now. Trying to argue your case in one of these bracket tournament things was amazing you know but then but then we'd get mad too because i forget which one was i robbed on where it was like oh i don't even remember man maybe it'll come up later but there was one where i was like i could not believe that you two like didn't go with my pick on something but then i think that happened to everybody too because todd would get super upset if i sided with you. You were like, no way. Yeah, I definitely remember a couple of times that, yeah, you or Todd might get pretty competitive with that. Maybe once or twice with me, but not too often.

All right, second quote here. You hit me with a bus. I actually remember this one because I was the guilty culprit. You want to talk about this? This was... Oh, I got to remember the episode. Now, it was Todd that said this. I do remember Todd getting pretty mad at me on this one too. This was one where it started off as a funny joke, but then I think Todd was getting a little frustrated. It had to have been the... One of my all-time favorites.

Oh, it's the GTA Online. GTA Online. That was when we were trying to do the stupid prison break one. Yep, the prison heist. Oh, man. That stupid prison heist. Dude, I'm pretty good at shooters, and I remember we failed that prison heist. How many times?

Well, the problem was that we were all severely under-experienced playing it very early on. I had played a ton of GTA Online, and I was familiar with the heist. You guys were still new to it. And the problem was that we kept taking that really long drive to the prison, and then you'd have to get inside the bus. One person is posing as the guard, the other one as the criminal. And for whatever reason, I think I was the one up in the jet, and you and Todd kept going in this stupid bus. And after us playing for a couple hours, I think Todd like got out of the bus and then you intentionally ran him over,

which made us drive the bus is what it was. I think, I think I remember now he wanted to drive the bus, but I was like, no, I'm the bus driver. And so Todd got out of the bus. Cause he was like,

well, I'm not going then. And then I just ran him over. Wonderful. And we, we did not pass that heist. No no now no do you remember famously when we almost beat the heist yeah after after like 15 different tries we finally got the guy out we're escaping the jet is flying everything is wonderful and do you remember what happened paul uh some idiot in our party wasn't able to parachute on the beach properly because everybody else was dead there

was only one guy left flying the plane i think his name i remember who it was i think his name was paul if i remember right and paul went to parachute out of the jet so that we could finally beat this heist and forgot how to deploy his parachute. It just face planted into the ground. And then all we see is mission failed. We were like, no! I think we just logged off after that, didn't we? We did. And I was the one who had probably like 700 hours of GTA online on console.

And I totally just goofed the parachute. I clipped the cliff and then my guy just like rolled and fell off the side of the cliff a hundred feet down to the ground. And I was so mad at myself and I couldn't believe that I was the one who ended up sabotaging that. It was amazing. But yeah, the, the bus incident did come earlier. Yeah, boy, those were some rough, those were some rough missions, huh? Oh my goodness. They really were. Oh, man.

All right, next quote here. I don't know this one. I don't remember this one either. All right, the quote is, millions of what? Because it's not dollars. All right, let me think. Now, I'll tell you what. That sounds to me like something Todd would say. That sounds like Todd's vernacular. Millions of what? Because it's not dollars. Right?

Doesn't that kind of... I'm pretty sure it's not me. I don't think I've ever said that. Millions of what? Because it's not dollars. What would we have been... I don't know this one man what do you think we were talking about listeners you know millions of listeners millions maybe what because it's not dollars is this a reward for something in a game i have no clue paydayday 2. That's going to be my guess.

All right. Well, the first part, I was correct. It was Todd who said it. And this was for GTA Online talking about the Jewel Cool. Yeah, you were talking about royalties that you've been paid for the Jewel Cool. And you said that you've been paid millions. And Todd said, millions of what? Because it's not dollars. It's not dollars. I forgot. That's what it was. Dude, somebody asked me the other day about the jewel

cool and it's been broken for a while. And I have been so busy. I mean, we're just coming through the tail end of summer now. And I had to go all summer without the jewel cool. And it was brutal. It was the most uncomfortable summer ever. Tell the people about the genesis of the Julekul. Oh, man. Yeah, there's probably a lot of people out there that don't know what the Julekul is. This is the greatest invention that you've had to date. This might be the crowning moment of my entire life, maybe other than my wife and kids. So we live in Arizona.

It gets really hot here during the summer. It's not unheard of for it to be 116 to 120 degrees in the dead of summer. When you are in your office with a computer that is cranking out heat like anything. Also, my office is as far away from the AC as it can, as you can get. So I don't get that blast of cold air in here either. And so I found myself just sweating playing video games. I'd have a little fan on or something, but it was just not working. I also had one of those pleather gaming chairs. Oh, that's no good. Those are not comfortable.

Make your thighs sweaty. Especially if you're sweaty, man. Oh, and I just remember at one point, like this is super uncomfortable. My lower regions are not doing well. They're sweaty, they're hot, and this is not really conducive to happy gaming. So I had this little desk fan that was, you know, not very big. And I had a little Wi-Fi plug so you can turn something on with your phone. And so I was thinking like, man, if I could just somehow get this fan under my desk to where it just blows on the nether regions, it would be amazing. It would be incredible. And so I did.

I went out because I do some woodworking. I built a little custom shelf that I then mounted to the back of my desk near the wall. I put that little fan on the Wi-Fi plug, and I aimed it right where it needed to be. And it was the most glorious thing ever, man. I just remember thinking, I am just bathed in comfort right now, Paul. And I had to dub my invention. And so I forget how it came. I don't know how this comes up in normal conversation, man. But I was like, I dubbed it the Jewel Cool and the name just stuck ever since then. And famously, it's been, I've patented it.

I've sold millions. It's not dollars, but yes. So that is the history of the Jewel Cool. And that quote, apparently, I don't remember. What episode? Was that the GTA? That's also the GTA episode. Yeah.

Now, I would venture to say that the fan is the most underrated invention that we have access to. And maybe we're biased living in Phoenix, but I don't know that I could live without fans. I have fans running on me literally 24-7. It's necessary, man. The problem is, famously, my air conditioning went out for two weeks this summer, and fans without cold air to blow around are just a convection oven. And legitimately, if you go out in Arizona and you roll your windows down and you're driving, that is not refreshing. You are getting baked. Oh, it's a blow dryer to the face. You're getting baked faster because all that hot air is circulating around.

But yes, it's my bedroom. This is no exaggeration. I have a good size Vornado fan on my nightstand. My wife has a Vornado fan on her nightstand. We run the ceiling fan in our room. And then she just bought like this big 20 inch, like almost utility fan that we can mount to the wall that points straight down on our bed. We have four fans running in our bedroom at night. And I could, I could see a world where I would add another fan. Oh, you might be one short. Yeah. Oh, man. Too funny. Yeah.

Well, I love how George Costanza on Seinfeld, he builds his little cubby to nap. You built your little cubby to hold a fan and blow on your legs. So I'm all for it. If you take that and run, I'm going to, I'm going to call this open source. I feel like everybody should benefit from this idea. So I'm putting it out there to the world. All right. Oh boy. Okay. So here we go. I do. This one sounds familiar. I'm struggling a little bit on this one. So, okay. Tell your son right now that I am not going to hold back and I am going to murder him if I see him.

Okay, I definitely know what game and I'm 99% sure that this was me. But it's possible it was you as a follow up because this is when we were talking about the cycle. I think if I remember right, I want to guess the episode. Is this the one that we had Andy on? No. Because weren't you killing his son Nathan? Yes. But I thought that we talked about this on the cycle episode.

But the context was definitely talking about the cycle. And we played so much of the cycle i do remember this i do and yep and and and our friend andy our good friend over at the fantasy footballers podcast he and and his children would also play the cycle and his son nathan randomly queued at the same time that we were queuing in the cycle we ended ended up in the same game together. And I was talking about how bad I felt having to fight Nathan, knowing that he was like seven years old at the time. He was like seven or eight. And I knew that I was just murdering one of my best friend's children. And I said I did not feel good about it. And then maybe you said this as a follow-up to what I said,

but one of us just yelled, tell your son right now, I'm not going to hold back. I'm going to murder him if I see him. That was the cycle. I remember you telling this story now because, yes, I think it was him and his brother too. I think it was Nathan and Caleb.

It might have been both. They were playing together and they happened to get in a match. And when the cycle was in its heyday, we were sweaty, man. We wanted to win. We were running around. We had that game down, man. And it's funny, because I do remember you saying,

and I think you were even shouting, like, I'm sorry, Nathan. Yeah. I was yelling, I'm sorry. Just slaughtering poor Nathan. All right, let's see if this is right. Okay, so it says Paul episode Fall Guys, Dead by Daylight, and Paul bullies an

eight-year-old. That was a Twig episode. That was a Twig. That's right. Talking about Andy's son playing the cycle. Yeah, so that was actually a Twig episode. But yeah, that was me. I think that might have been me telling Andy, like, next time tell your son right now I'm going to kill him and not feel bad about it.

And I did call you out in the title of that episode. Yeah, Paul Bulley's an eight-year-old. Oh, man. Shout out to Nate, who at this point might be better than us. I think he's getting there. He's getting there real fast. There's that sweet spot when you're no longer the little kid and those reflexes just outshine older people with experience and if

we're not there yet we're going to be there pretty soon i feel like i'm already getting there but i can still hang with these these whippersnappers paul very nice all right let's see next quote here all right so this quote actually came from discord they marked as an fyi was not on the show but was part of our discord server you'd love it if i were secretly a destiny fan but i'm too busy playing fortnight for that to happen oh my goodness all right i'm pretty sure this is you i would never never play Fortnite, Paul. How dare you? How dare you even imply that I would play Fortnite? But I am famously the person that is anti-Destiny.

And I feel like this is something that I would say. It sounds like something that you would have said to Glap, who's probably like the biggest Destiny fan on Discord. He wants us to love Destiny so much. And I married Destiny 2 when we covered it. It's a great game. I just kind of had my fill of it and was done. But some people just will spend thousands of hours in Destiny, and that's just not our jam. I'm going to say that this is definitely me

i'm gonna say that the fortnight thing i think i remember this now now that i'm jogging my memory a little bit because i it was either this conversation or one that was very close to it where i jokingly said i love fortnight i just can't let anybody know oh right like sarcastically and then jake so legendary jake screenshotted that and now and now he has to have it saved to his desktop or something because anytime anytime he gets to use that he will paste that screenshot in there where it's just me saying i seek i i really love fortnite i just can't tell anybody and I can't defend myself because he's got proof. The rest of the conversation conveniently got left out of this screenshot. No context.

No context. So it's just me saying, I love Fortnite. I just can't tell anybody. And it's like every single time I just go like, that's not true. I don't like Fortnite, man. Oh, man. Kudos to the uh the good trolling there all right let's see if this is true i i feel like this is let's let's reveal the answer josh josh no context no context added yeah yeah we we remember that one that one's not even from too too long ago but definitely josh i i love that that one's pretty clearly you because you're the one who hates destiny the most and also just the

running jokes of you actually loving and playing fortnight dude so yeah that one that one we can identify paul what if we get another legendary supporter and they make us play fortnight and we actually somehow enjoy it a little bit i i'd be totally cool with that i mean i have hopped back into fortnight with my kids because they will ask me every once in a while dad that's being a good dad um you know fortnight it's fine if someone wants to pay us a hundred bucks for one month i'll play fortnight sure i just i'm a little worried there's that little like whisper in the back of my brain that's like what if you like it what if you play it and you actually enjoy it and then i'd be like shut up brayden

oh man yeah i'd be pleasantly surprised that i'd have no shame no problem loving fortnight if i liked it this one all right paul this This one, all right, Paul, this next one. Okay, this is one of my all-time favorite quotes, and this was from our third episode ever, but go ahead. The quote is, Rocket League deserves better than you. I totally know who said this, and it's one of the hardest times I've laughed on the show. It was Todd,

after I married Rocket League. And Todd said, Rocket League deserves better than you. Which, touche. Great, great comeback. But yes, that was Todd talking to me in the Rocket League episode, as I recall. It was. And to your credit, you have always said that you really enjoy Rocket League. You see it for the amazing game that it is. You are just frustrated because you're not very good at it. It does not compute the physics in my head. And I get that for sure. And kudos to you. You married Rocket League. You said, hey, I get that this is a well-beloved game.

But then to hear Todd just chime in with Rocket League deserves you said, hey, I get that this is a well-beloved game. But then to hear Todd just chime in with Rocket League deserves better than you after you chose to marry it. It's kind of like saying like Rocket League married down. Rocket League, yes, settled. But deserves better. That one, that was great. But yes, that was our... What was that? That third episode? Oh, it was early. Yeah, I think Rocket League was our third.

Yeah, because I think Rust was four and Rocket League was three. Man. Rocket League was my favorite of our earliest episodes. I hope I'm not ruining a quote later in here. But that was the one when we learned early on that if we started recording too late, that especially todd would start getting a little loopy and todd just could not get through reading the description of rocket league and that was when we all we all just got the giggles and todd misread mutators as

mutilators and he said he was reading about the mutilators that you can use in rocket league and i just about we all lost it yeah if you want to hear three grown men giggling for probably 40 seconds straight you know while while trying to actually record a podcast yes let's yeah go listen to the old rocket league episode oh man too funny. Yep. Yep. Rocket League definitely deserves better than me. Todd's not wrong. That's all I can say. I have nothing to defend myself. All right. Well, let's go ahead and take a short break here and hear from one of our sponsors. Hey guys, this episode of the Multiplayer Gaming Podcast is brought to you by Logitech. You have the opportunity to help support the show and also get some awesome gaming accessories to

help maintain your competitive edge while gaming. I actually use a Logitech G413 backlit keyboard. Actually bought it with my own money back in 2017, long before the show, and it's still running great. Actually, as I'm looking around, I also have a Logitech webcam, and they sell so much more than that. They have tablet keyboards, they've got mice, speakers, Bluetooth accessories, all kinds of stuff that you might need for your PC or for mobile devices. So you can actually head on over to multiplayerpodcast.com slash Logitech store and that'll forward you right to their website thanks so much for your guys support now let's get back

to the show all right josh moving on to the next quote here this one's a little bit longer so i think it's funny enough that i'm going to get this, but guess what? As I'm going to get these Rocky Mountain Oysters, sexual healing starts playing, and I just about died laughing. This is you. Yeah, this is absolutely me. Do you remember the game? Oh, of course. I figured you would. One of my all-time favorites, Far Cry 5.

This was the, uh, uh, was it called the Testicle Festival? Testicle Festival. Okay. That's what it was called, right? Oh, man. It makes me laugh every time. Yeah, yeah. That was where this little town in Far Cry was known for their tourism, where they would

serve Rocky Mountain oysters, which, to those of you in the know they are not actual oysters okay there are no oysters in colorado all right these come from bowls so male bowls this is what you cook and eat and uh yeah as part of that quest you needed to go procure yourself some rocky mountain oysters and uh let's just say you had to get some that were engorged and the game had a little bit of PG-13 fun with that quest. That's all I'll say. The fact that sexual healing starts playing in the background. Like what? Kudos to the devs on that, because that is just top notch humor right there.

Yeah. is just top-notch humor right there yeah you know to just not only have this insane quest line where you have to go get rocky mountain oysters but then to recognize the absurdity and then to just amplify it with the perfect song to go with it oh yeah it's hilarious that that was far cry at their best whether it's that or the the bear named cheeseburger who has diabetes. I mean, that game just... They really know how to bring the humor. All right. Oh, we've got a person one, person two on this one. So this is a back and forth, Paul, for this next one. All right, let's hear it.

Okay. Person one. It's just so stupid. Person two. Tell us what you really think, person one. Person one. Okay, ran over. Guys, I feel better now.

I have absolutely no idea when this was said. I feel like this would be me because I do like to rant. And I do say this is stupid a lot. If I get frustrated in a game, I just go like, this is stupid, man. This sounds to me like you and Todd. So if this was me and I, it's just so stupid, and then Todd maybe said, tell us what you really think, Josh. And then I said, okay, rant over, guys, I feel better now.

What would I have been venting about, Paul? I don't know, but the fact that person one says, guys, I know for a fact this has got to be you and Todd. Yeah, I do. But I have no idea what you would have been venting about. Guys, I feel better now. Maybe Destiny 2? Okay, rant over. What would I rant about?

Remakes? I feel like you would rant. Destiny 2? I feel like I did rant at Destiny 2. I bet you it is Destiny 2. I think it was the bounty system, where I didn't even know that I had these completed bounties because you have to go through three menus

to click a bounty that you've done to say oh i'm done with this bounty like the game can't just recognize it and give you the reward this is stupid paul i think you might be right i think we might have solved i think it took a second let's see if we're right it could be person one is josh oh person two is me okay but it was destiny too so we we got two out of the three right all right i feel like that was a todd episode so todd was there i feel like that's a win still very nice oh man how funny all right next quote here all right this one says dude i love remasters i think they are the greatest thing ever said no one ever seriously clearly this was sarcasm yes uh who's

the most sarcastic person paul and who uses dude a lot uh do you use the word dude i love the word dude i grew up in the 80s man you know gnarly yeah dude where's my car i don't know that this is me but it sounds an awful lot like me uh i feel like this must have come from but i feel like this is the remaster episode i feel like this could be you too this is a goofy one because this is something that easily you or myself could have said yeah i was say, we are both pretty sarcastic when the time calls. I feel like this could have been said by either. I actually think this one might be me.

I'm going to guess you. You're going to say me? I could see you in the context. Oh, it's not! No, it was Josh. Oh. And it was, yeah, it was in the remasters

we actually want episode. All right. Well, we had a 50 50 shot, Paul. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that that was spoken sarcastically because you famously hate remakes. They're terrible. Also famously hate Fortnite. And yet the running jokes are that you love remasters and you love Fortnite. Hey, I'll tell you what.

Give me that KOTOR remake all day. That's what I'm excited about. Lightning can strike sometimes. Okay, this next one. Oh, well, this is an easy one. Yeah. We got to guess the episode now. Okay, the quote is,

1v1 me in a jumping competition. All right. Now, out of the three of us who were on the show at that time, who cares the most about jumping? Oh, Todd, 100%. Todd famously has refunded games because you can't jump. Like The Division 2? Doesn't matter how good the game is. If you can't jump, Todd's like, nope, I'm out. And he'll literally just log off. And then before you know it, he doesn't own the game anymore.

Yeah. Hates Gears of War, famously. I have never asked Todd to play Mass Effect because it's off and then before you know it you'll never see him anymore yeah yeah hates gears of war famously i have never asked todd to play mass effect because it's cover-based there's no jumping i know he wouldn't like it uh i believe this was todd challenging you to a jumping competition sounds about right um it was either todd to you or you. Why would we have been talking about 1v1 me in a jumping competition? What early episode would have not had jumping? I feel like that might be the key here, but I'm not sure what it would be. GTFO, maybe?

Was it one of our earlier ones? I don't think it was quite that early. I think it would be a little later. What game can't you jump in that Todd was with us for? Rainbow Six Siege? Can you jump in that? Yeah, you can. I don't know.

Because you can climb up to the second floor balconies and stuff, right? Can't you jump in? I know you can climb ladders, but... I don't think you can jump in Siege. All right. Let's see. One V one me in a jumping competition. It todd bonus round never have i ever so that's that one's going back away that is going back that was when we uh talked about game series that we've never played like never

have i ever played call of duty before you know which i hadn't at the time so that was kind of like a confet like a video game confessions episode. I don't know what game we were talking about, though. Yeah, I have no idea. You know what it is? I bet Todd was confessing, because Todd has famously not played a lot of very popular games, like Breath of the Wild and The Witcher and some of these other very popular games. And I think there's one where you can't jump. And we were like, Todd,

how have you not ever played that? And he was like, and it came down to jump. Yeah. He's like, you can't jump in that game. So of course I haven't played it. Yeah.

I just love that. We've, we've also kind of poked fun at Todd a little bit about that because it's just such a random thing to zero in on. It would be like, well, I don't play games where you wear metal armor. I only play games where you wear cloth or leather armor. Like, it just seems so funny.

Yeah, I found metal suffocating. Yeah. It's just such like a minor mechanic in a game. Like, not every game has to have jumping, but Todd's just full stop out if there's no jumping in it. All right. Who reads the next one? Is it my turn? It's no jumping in it. All right. Who reads the next one? Is it my turn? It's my turn, right? All right.

I definitely know this game. The quote is, Protect your kidneys. Watch out for renegade surgeons. Gotta be Surgeon Simulator. Right? No, this one's not Surgeon Simulator. Protect your kidneys.

Watch out for renegade surgeons. One of my all-time favorites. Mass Effect? No. One of Todd's favorites. Sweet Jane. Does this ring a bell yet? Oh!

Sweet Jane dying in the cold? Yes! It's the... Oh my goodness. It's the Sim game. It's got to be RimWorld. It's RimWorld game. It's got to be. It's not Stardew Valley. It's RimWorld.

There we go. There we go. That's right. You've never forgave Todd for killing Jane to this day. No, no. Still mad about it. That's right. Because they did.

You could harvest their organs. I feel like this has got to be RimWorld. It's 100% RimWorld. Yeah. I don't know what other game we would be talking about, like protecting your kidneys from renegade surgeons. That's 100%. I'm calling it right now.

Final answer. How do you think said it, though? Oh, it was me. Okay, yep. The RimWorld episode. During the RimWorld episode. Yep. Yep.

All right, there you go. I thought maybe that would come from Todd, but I guess that one did come from me. Man, we've got some funny ones coming up. These are pretty good. I did scroll ahead just a smidge by accident. So, okay. I don't know what show this was from, but I remember the line. Okay, this is officially our weirdest show ever. This could definitely possibly be RimWorld. I think it is. Out of the earliest episodes, RimWorld was by far the weirdest one. Because RimWorld lends itself to absolutely bananas situations, like your colonists going insane and harvesting other colonists' kidneys and stuff like that.

Oh, yeah. Growing drugs and all kinds of crazy stuff in that game. But... I feel like if it wasn't RimWorld, then it would have to be Far Cry 5. It's got to be one of those over-the-top silly games.

But I feel like this has got to be RimWorld. I feel like we were probably a few episodes in as well to say this is our weirdest show yet. I'm going to... Man... in as well to say this is our weirdest show yet um i'm gonna man russ got kind of crazy too though but russ was very early all right i'm gonna i'm gonna say rimworld too paul all right who do you think said it i'm gonna say me only because i feel like i talked the most in the rimworld episode so yeah, yeah. I'm playing the odds here.

Maybe this was me. This is something you would say. So, okay. Yep. Paul. Oh, Paul. Yep. Commenting on Josh's comment on the squad cast and the memorable boss fight episode.

Oh, okay. The memorable boss fight? I got to go back and listen to that because I don't remember that being one of the weirdest talking about the squad cast. Cause we were trying to like, we were goofing around about the multiplayer squad and it, we had the Todd cast and then we, and then we, that turned into the squad cast.

And then I think we just got completely sidetracked and started goofing off about that. But the memorable boss fights, I don't know why that would have come up which boss fight would that would we have gotten sidetracked on that much yeah i i i don't remember the context i wish i did i don't remember that one being weird but i might have to go back and check out that one that was a good episode boss fights that was a good one okay all right all right this next one this this can never happen so whoever's goal this is is gonna is gonna fail miserably but the quote is it's my goal to make josh flustered all right so clearly not spoken by josh not. I don't refer to myself in the third person like that. This has got to be Todd.

This feels like Todd to me. This is Todd's humor right here. It's my goal to make Josh flustered. It is. And I'll tell you the other thing is because we took a lot of joy when Todd would get flustered in something. We just found it really funny. He'd have to do it back.

And so I think his thing was like, one of these days, I'm going to get you flustered, Josh. And I was like, it doesn't happen. So I'll agree but what i don't know the episode man that's such a that's such a shot in the dark do you have any guests on the episode oh uh i don't but apparently this was spoken by me during the intro of whatever episode that was yeah oh is this when you started giving me the goofy intros yes and you said that you didn't know how to reply because i was hitting you with things like what's what's shaking bacon yes uh yeah yeah and you just said you had no idea what to say and i said oh yeah it's just my goal to make josh flustered there you go has it has it happened yet paul uh no i don't think so you always somehow find your words

it's a curse i tell you oh man all right just a couple last quotes left here uh this next one says this is the stew cast what were we talking about soup and then it just and then it just evolved into stew maybe i'm not sure get to talking about stew this is the stew cast all right we must have been talking about cooking and we were talking about making stews i think this might be valheim i could kind of see us talking about stew. All of the cooking. You were the chef in that game, making the locks,

meat pies and all that stuff. Oh yeah. The blood puddings. I think we went off on a big tangent to the blood sausage. There you go. I think we went off on a big tangent about the amount of cooking in that game. And then before you know it and i do

feel like that was todd that would say that yeah like this is just the stew cast now because we were talking about cooking for a long time and uh todd also definitely liked playing off of the word podcast and would famously call it the todd cast. Yes. And so it definitely feels... Or the Squadcast. And Squadcast. Yeah, all those came from Todd. So the word Smith Todd here is my guess with Valheim. Yep.

And that is correct. Todd in the Valheim episode intro. So I guess we were talking about food, but maybe he knew we would be talking about food. Yeah, he probably had an inkling. I mean, if i'm on the podcast and if the game has cooking you know i'm gonna be bringing it up yeah oh how funny speaking of which valheim's got some updates and i think they added some new recipes they did they

actually overhauled the whole food system um in that like they nerfed it a little bit um but you know this was the big hearth in home uh like release i'm i'm really waiting for the combat and the new boss one that's when i think i'll return to valheim because they'll have actual bosses well well there's bosses but they'll have new combat they'll have the new zones opened up and i think they'll you know there will be a few more world bosses too the further we get away from valheim has it gone up or down up in my mind in your it's like one of those good it's like one of those good memories where the longer you go the more fondly you remember it you know now i i like to block out the death skitos killing us and

wiping us and losing everything i like to block out the you the losing our boat out to sea on some random island with all the goblins. When Jared forgot the dwarf eyes and we couldn't make the portal and we all died and then Jared stayed up until like 3 o'clock in the morning to go retrieve all of our stuff. Poor Jared. Oh, that was awful. And build a new portal.

I felt bad that Jared felt so bad on that one, man. We were like, Jared, you didn't have to do that man he's like no no it's my fault i was just like i had to go to bed yeah i feel like the further we get from valheim i i don't know i i don't find myself wanting to jump in anymore really like people have posted on rare occasion in discord that they're gonna get val Valheim or they're going to hop into it. And I'm just kind of like, I have zero interest of starting that game over. The idea of having new content to play DLC would be a lot of fun, but I never feel any kind of desire to start over fresh.

I think because the entire appeal of that game was just discovery. And so I feel like it's not really replayable in that sense. That's why I say if there's new combat, new boss fights and stuff, there's that. And the new zones. Remember the zone that wasn't done, but it had all the spider webs in the trees and stuff? The mist lands, I think it was called. That's when I'll go back. Because then there's new content to actually do.

I don't care about... I don't cook. I don't care about recipes and stuff like that. Or you can build peaked roofs now. You guys famously trolled me for my house anyway, so I don't really care about that part of it. But give me new worlds to explore, or new land to explore, and new bosses to come across, and I would dive back in. But wait, would we have to start all over? No.

Oh, okay. We still have our old saves. Okay, I was going to say, i wouldn't want to start all over either that would suck yeah yeah we we were running that on one of my work computers as a dedicated server and i jumped back into it to make sure it was still running because jared was still playing by himself uh but yeah you know that was a really tough game as the village cook because i would have to gather so many mats and cook all of these things and we would all eat three different things of food and there would be like six of us playing together and then if we died and we all had to eat three pieces of food again like we would run

low on food so quickly and it was so demoralizing to play a couple hours cook all this food and next thing you know everyone's like hey do you have any food i'm all out i would i would stash food paul no lie i would hide food i'd hide some lox meat pies and stuff just so that like when all the food was gone i wouldn't die and i would still have like full health like i never told you guys that but yeah i had my little secret stash of food oh man the the worst thing about that is if you didn't have food, you couldn't run. You'd run out of the stamina. And that was, oh, yeah, that was rough.

All right. Well, time for the next quote here. All right. How are you going to play well if all the units are upside down? Man, I'm feeling stumped by that one. What game would have units in it? How are you going? How are you going to play?

Well, if all the units are upside down, what would even have, what game would even have anything that's upside down? Would this be a table flip episode? Would this be rage quit? Like if you flip the table, how are you going to play if everything's upside down? It could be.

Because I don't know what else would be upside down. That's my guess. I'm going with the Rage Quit episode. I think you're probably on to something there. But I have no idea who would have said it. Todd. It does sound like Todd. All right. I don't know. No. All right, should we check it? have said it. Todd. It does sound like Todd. All right.

I don't know. No. All right, should we check it? Oh, it was you. Me. Paul talking to Todd about playing as Australia in Civilization VI. Okay. All right.

That's funny. I will. I'm going to laugh at my own joke here. Shamelessly. That's right. Talking about. I think we may have read a review or something with someone in australia and i yeah uh what a classic classic joke from the down under right how are you gonna play if all the units are upside down oh my goodness the civ six boy that was that was some prep work for that game where we were up until like 2 o'clock in the morning

just waiting for me to finish my turn. Well, that was really funny because you were always more likely to do combat in Civ 6. Oh, yeah. And so here, Todd and I are just going the straight science route. So we're just going click, click, click, wait for next turn. And then you would be playing for a full like eight minutes yeah doing all of these combat moves i'm gonna train my troops josh come on that's when you

wrecked me with your greek uh legionnaires or whatever it was too i remember that one little unit coming in and just destroying me and being like what the heck was that oh man i just remember todd and i we would just start um whispering each other and just like chatting about whatever we're like all right i guess josh is fighting and so it'd be like eight minutes i would be trying so hard to go fast too but yeah i had a lot i had an army to command paul it's not i can't do that quickly okay how funny so yeah how are we gonna play how are you gonna play well if all the units are upside down not bad not bad all right uh i think this one's yours right to read oh is it

my turn all right well i can't find the leader of australia on wikipedia boom too offensive okay all right so this i i feel like this has got to be coming out of the same episode because i feel like we do not talk about australia all that often we must have been can you play as australia in civ 6 i don't think you Well, why would you have mentioned the units being upside down? Well, I think we must have read a community review of someone in Australia or something. Who's the leader of Australia, Paul, right now? I have no idea. I don't either. Terrible. Terrible Americans, man.

A president? I don't think. Terrible. Terrible Americans, man. A president? I don't think they have a king. No, I don't think it's a king. I'm pretty sure it's like a prime minister or something like that. I'm thinking president. It's Scott Morrison, and he's the prime minister. Oh, it is a prime minister. Okay, alright.

Yeah, I see that there. Why would that not have been on Wikipedia, though? This is definitely Todd talking. I feel like it's definitely Todd. And I'm just going to say the Civ 6 episode, because I don't know when else we would have mentioned Australia again. I think 100% you've got to be right, because we were probably looking up who the leader of that would be, because you could play as all the different world leaders. Yeah. So funny.

Todd still talking about Civ 6s that's the answer some say he's still talking about it todd does love his sim games oh how funny good old civ 6 that one's going back a ways too i that's one of those games that i like and i hate at the same time yeah i feel like i played too many civ games in a short time frame i feel like if i want to go back to civilization once every five years i feel ready for it i remember playing a lot of civ 5 and i think it was like nine months later we picked up civ 6 and i was still not long enough it was just too soon yeah i did that's a game i really do enjoy because i don't play any games like that so when i do hop in it's not it's like a it's like a breath of fresh air until i realize the amount of work that is going to be involved in trying to do good in that game and then i'm just like

yeah never mind and the games just last forever yeah yep that was our main complaint about the multiplayer was like man these turns are taking like two hours. We can take like one turn and then that's it. All right. Last one, Paul. Wow. This timing is working out pretty good here. I actually know the answer to this one.

Oh, I do. Okay. All right. Here's the quote. Oh, say it again. Slower this time. I remember this being said, but I can't remember the context do you fully remember i remember it's me a hundred percent i know because i remember you saying something and i'd go like oh paul say it again and then you did you said it again and then i was like

but i don't remember what it was like i can I can literally hear myself saying it. I can reenact it. What would you have said, Paul? I'm not sure. But that is very reminiscent of, like, The Lion King, where the Whoopi Goldberg. Yes. Zazu. Wait, not Zazu. What are those animals called?

Oh, boy. The hyenas? Hyenas, thank you. Two old dads that can't remember words. The whoopee hyena, where they would say Mufasa. Oh, yeah, that's right. Say it again. Mufasa.

I don't remember. All right, so what's the context for this? Oh, well, here you go. Okay, see? Oh. I did say this. It's from the memorable Boss Fights episode directed towards Todd when Todd started saying the squad cast.

And you know what? The squad cast, that is not a word we have said in a long time. I have said squad mates now and again, but I think we need to bring back squad cast if for no other reason to uh memorialize todd maybe that's what our bonus episodes will be you know it's just this is the squad cast and we'll do it with a deep voice welcome to the squad cast right you know i uh i feel like a lot of people pulled a lot of old todd quotes here i think people are really missing todd so i think i think everyone just really wanted to share you know how much they uh they missed

todd and appreciated his time on the show and uh yeah that's fun going through some old it really is and i mean kudos to them for going through some older episodes if you notice none of these episodes were like within the last 20 or so where we would actually remember everything. Yeah. These are some older ones. Yeah. It's funny. It's I love when people,

we get new listeners or people that hop in and they're like, Hey guys, I, you know, I, I found the show I've been listening for a month or two and you know, they're 20 episodes in or something like that. But most people don't start at the beginning.

They kind of start with the latest and then work their way back. And so it's funny that people don't know the origins and they don't understand how bad some of our first shows were. Oh, man, that's too funny. Yeah, as you kind of reflect and think back, since we're kind of just reminiscing about old episodes, were there any that initially come to mind that you remember as being a lot of fun or being really good? Are there any favorites that you might have? we had famously done a few practice recordings that nobody in the world except for us has ever heard before. Which I still have. Do you still have those? Oh my goodness, man. One time they'll see the light of day.

But those were terrible. This was us just not even truly recording, just practicing how to do a podcast. And then I remember it's like, okay, it's time guys. We were going to record the official ones that we released in the very beginning. And I remember recording episode number four, which was Rust. And I felt like we were kind of in practice at that point. Like we were kind of finding our way. Plus we love Rust. So it made it very easy to talk about. So for me, that one stands out a lot because I remember thinking after we recorded it that it was like, dude, we did it. We nailed that episode. And that kind of gave us the confidence to say like, hey, we can do this and have fun with it and communicate what these games are all about to people and stuff like that. So that one stands out to me a lot.

Yeah, I definitely remember Rust and Rocket league being the best of like our first five or six episodes i think doing the tournament of best gaming dad was just so much fun because when i drafted ethan mars from heavy rain you guys just lost it of course we lost it that guy's the worst dad ever, Paul. Any excuse I had in those early episodes to bring up Heavy Rain, I was more than happy to do it. I feel like that one was a lot of fun. And I feel like our Far Cry episode was fun because there was just so much comedy in the game itself. It was kind of like us just sitting around, quoting our favorite lines from the episode. So I felt like that one was fun. As much as I didn't enjoy RimWorld,

that episode was really good for the same reason. Just the hilarity that can ensue in that game lends itself very well to being able to talk about and, like, share those funny experiences with people. Yeah, absolutely. Well, yeah, we just want to give a shout-out once again to That Cat Gaming. So thank you so much for putting this together. We definitely appreciate it. I know it was fun for us. I think it'll be fun for people who have been around a long time. If you're a newer listener, maybe not so much. But in any case, just as a reminder, make sure to rate the podcast five stars, leave us a review. And also if you want to come connect with me and Josh, you can do that on discord.

There's a link in the podcast episode description, and you can also find us anywhere on social media at multiplayer pod. And that's it for this bonus round. We will have our twig episode on Thursday and then the next deep dive will be forgotten city. So feel free to jump into that game if you want to know what we're talking about. And that's it. See you guys on Thursday.

That's all she wrote. This was a fun one. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. And hey, if you didn't understand some of these references, we talk about the episodes. So go back and check out some of those. They're pretty good. If we don't say so ourselves. Yes.

All right. Thanks, everyone everyone we'll see you next time see you everybody
