Okay, Martin, let's try one. Remember, big.
You got it.
The Ford It's a Big Deal event is on. How's that?
Uh, a little bigger.
The Ford It's a Big Deal event.
Nice. Now the offer?
Lease a 2025 Escape Active all-wheel drive from 198 bi-weekly at 1.99% APR for 36 months with $27.55 down.
Wow, that's like $99 a week.
Yeah, it's a big deal. The Ford It's a Big Deal event. Visit your Toronto area Ford store or Ford.ca today. Hello fellow gamers and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast.
When's the last time you thought about the Roman Empire?
Well today we're going to be diving into the rise of the great Romain Empire.
Because it's time to deep dive schedule one.
A game that seemingly came out of nowhere. It's taking over the world and the hearts of wannabe
entrepreneurs everywhere
But first some introductions are in order. I am your host Josh and
Joining me he's running all over town slinging them goods and looking out for Keith who he's got a beef with
It's Ryan.
Bro, Keith, you come on run up on me bro.
I'll see you on the street.
It's going down brother.
Down.
I want my money Keith.
I want my money Keith.
Pay up.
And joining us, the old man himself.
His middle-aged takes are a great glimpse into geriatric gaming, and
he almost broke a hip before we started recording.
It's Ace.
What did I do to deserve this?
Like, what have I wronged today?
You slandered the Minecraft movie, Ace?
Yeah, apparently that means I'm old, I guess.
You, middle. You wouldn't understand. I'm surprised you know how to use a computer you're on.
You know, it's a struggle every day, man. Sometimes I have to call my son over.
Oh my goodness. So, alright, so just real quick.
So, for anybody that doesn't follow our social media like we we made a reel
From the Minecraft episode that we did where it was ace's opinion on the movie and me talking about the fact that my kids knew That it was gonna be a bad movie
For some reason this reel has caught fire. It is it is going like gangbusters
I mean at the time it's recording it's over like 60,000 views, a thousand, actually 1100 likes.
But every single comment are people that are upset with us for being old guys talking about
Minecraft.
We have no business talking about Minecraft and ACE has gotten lumped in with us.
You're 24, 25?
I'm 25!
Yeah, yeah.
And so ACE has just gotten lumped in with the old guys that are me and Ryan, and
we have just been mercilessly just picking on Ace ever since then.
It's been a brutal day, guys.
I've been called a soulless ginger and reject Seth Rogen.
I don't know.
It's the cost of fame, brother.
That's what happens, man.
It is. That's the price you pay, brother. That's what happens, man.
That's the price you pay, man.
I'm not gonna lie, I did have a lot of fun reading through those comments just giggling.
I'm like, yes! This is awesome!
That's cause you got left out of it.
I did, I did. I'll take it.
So anyway, help us pick on Ace, you know?
Hop on our server, wish him a happy 50th birthday, whatever you wanna do there, but.
We'll help him with his phone too, so he can read it.
And Ace, to be fair, Ace did fall out of his chair
just prior to us hitting record,
and so the almost breaking hip part
was maybe close to true.
That's not on video, you can't prove it.
That totally didn't happen, you can't prove it.
Oh, that's right, we weren't recording it.
I am, exactly.
What are you gonna do?
Well, welcome in everybody, it is the long awaited schedule one deep dive.
This is gonna be a lot of fun to talk about.
We have been playing this together an awful lot.
It is funny because I have friends and family that have picked this game up and they are
playing with their kids and their wives and stuff like that and
We have seen a ton of chatter from our community about schedule one and people asking are you gonna cover it?
And it's like yeah, we've been playing it and it is time to cover the game
I will start off this episode by saying you, schedule one is a game that is about
being a drug dealer and growing your drug empire.
You know, we are a clean podcast.
We will keep things clean, but the subject matter by nature does involve dealing with
drugs and slinging drugs and dealing with Keith and maybe Ryan punching him and getting
shanked.
So there will be the topic by nature is mature.
So if you're listening with your kids and you'd rather not, you know, have them listen to you right now,
there is your warning. Otherwise, like I said, we always keep it clean. So you
don't have to worry about that. So now that we've got the disclaimer out of the
way, um, you know, one of the things that we have been asking for and everybody
has been responding with is reviews. Man, we promise
we're going to get caught up on some of these. We have a couple more reviews to read right
at the top of the show. Um, and so we're going to start off with those Ryan, you've got one.
We're going to start with you, buddy. I do. Awesome. So, uh, this one's from grizzly team
six, a nice five star review and it's titled a true gamers podcast and
This review reads I really like this podcast
I listen to every new episode and it definitely makes the 12-hour workday feel not as miserable
this podcast hits home because they talk about the classics that I grew up with playing and
honorably mentions a peak of gaming when midnight releases were the best feeling
in the world and someone calling the house phone while playing with your friends online
was the worst feeling in the world. We definitely know that and have experienced that. Other
gaming podcasts I've listened to like to get off subject about things and go completely
irrelevant but these guys stay on topic and have really good conversations
about all things gaming.
Hot take, Lord of the Rings PS2 games were the best co-op games of all time and are ones
that truly deserve a remaster.
Which I, I know that I personally, I played a whole crap load of a Lord of the Rings co-op
on there and it was awesome. I somehow missed the Lord of the Rings co-op on there and it was awesome.
I somehow missed the Lord of the Rings game between the real time strategy one
that everybody said battle for middle earth.
I think it's called.
And I missed him so good, man.
And everybody loves them.
So maybe I haven't played a single Lord of the Rings game.
Yeah, that was, yeah, that was it's cause you're too old.
Ace.
It was after to say. I missed it. Is that it? You missed it.
It was after your time.
I was going to say, as the resident old head, I can definitely, you know, sympathize with
the phone and the disconnecting from the internet.
Just sitting in the retirement home.
All right.
So this one comes in from Sam is the Goat.
It's titled so great.
And it says, thank you.
Thank you for actually
watching the trailers and playing all these games.
So far it's been the best gaming podcast but if you could make this on YouTube and then
add like a video of yourself and then edit and add all the good stuff then you would
by far be the best gaming podcast I've ever seen and that is saying a lot considering
I've seen 127 podcasts
I think it is also a dream podcast to listen to if you have time to kill and have already finished all your video games
Obviously, it's super family-friendly and a great thing to listen to with your friends who like video games
I hope see ya PS. Please put this review on your next episode. Thank you
at next episode, next 50 episodes,
somewhere in there, somewhere in there.
I said we're behind a little bit.
We may be a little behind.
I got great news for him though.
Hey, we're on YouTube.
Wait, I was gonna say.
There you go.
We're on YouTube, we are Spotify video.
So if you're watching or if you're listening
on Spotify right now, It should default to video
but if it doesn't you can literally tap the button that says watch the podcast and and you get to see our our
Handsome young faces and then aces. Yeah, then me. Yeah. Yeah, I apologize in advance. Yeah, I do as well
I'm so sorry. Don't show me
So alright, so guys and then as promised,
also we have a quick question.
We're getting to these quick questions.
And this one comes in from HG Knight,
Epic supporter of the show.
And his question was,
if you could go back and save a game from disaster,
be it corporate greed, a bad release date,
poor execution, et cetera, what would you save?
I would want Anthem to live up to its full potential.
I know my answer on this one,
so I'll jump in while you two think about it.
Number one, Anthem was a fantastic game for eight hours.
I hate that that game fell apart,
but to be different than HD Night and not say Anthem,
I'm just gonna say the Battlefield franchise at this point.
We've mentioned that many times on the show.
Battlefield has completely lost its way.
They got greedy and they forgot what made Battlefield what it was.
And I want the Battlefield franchise to return to its glory days because with all of the
people that we have been playing with in our community and you know just each other with games every night I miss having
a squad in battlefield to just run around and cause chaos with so.
That's a solid answer.
That's probably what I would have gone with but I'll go with something a little different.
I don't know if this was necessarily any sort of corporate greed or just like bad planning
or the way they executed it.
And maybe it's better now.
I don't know.
It's been a while, but the Elder Scrolls Online, I was in the alpha, the beta.
I played everything from that game because I knew when I was playing, you know, Oblivion
in Skyrim and I was just like, man, if I could just play this game with other people, this
would be the best thing ever. And I tried it and I'm like, this is not good at all.
That really sucks.
You know, so like, I just wish it was executed a little bit better to where, um, it was just,
I don't know, it was just so boring and wide open and there really wasn't a lot there.
Like I said, it's been a long time since I've checked it out, so maybe it's different now,
but at launch, I was very much disappointed with kind of how that came to be.
I tried to get into the Elder Scrolls online and I could not. It was too easy.
Honestly, that was my biggest complaint, is like combat was meaningless and in a game like Elder Scrolls when the combat had no purpose.
I don't think I died once in like 30 levels or whatever it is. And then I was just like, yeah.
If a giant's not launching me 400 feet in the air, then like, is it really elder
scrolls? You know?
Like exactly. So what about you?
I have friends who've played the other schools online. They really enjoy it,
but I've never asked them why they can check because I have no interest in the
elder scrolls. Uh, oddly enough,
I'd like to go back and try to save the first quadruple a title
I would like for skull and bones to have been a good game because we don't have a good pirate
That's a good one. That is a good pick ace
Yeah, I feel like you see if thieves comes close, but it just doesn't have any kind of reward for doing anything
Why can't we have an amazing pirate game, man?
It's impossible. It's not that hard, man. Is it? Is it that hard?
Is it the sailing and then the land?
Because Skull and Bones went, man, forget about the land.
We're just sailing all this life.
Yeah, Skull and Bones.
It's like, oh, you don't want to walk on the land.
You just want to sail all the time.
Yeah.
It's so weird, man.
It's so weird that we're about to have Dune Awakening, which
is an MMO.
I mean, all of these, and nobody can
make a fantastic pirate game. and I know all of the Sea
of Thieves fans are gonna look at Sea of Thieves, Sea of Thieves is fine there's
zero progression in the game that's the biggest complaint we have with it.
Okay Boomer, what are you enjoying it is the old man, what an old man takes. Sea of Thieves is a mid game, there we go.
You know I have bad news.
I don't think that's going to get near as much.
Yeah.
Probably so.
Oh man.
I did joke around that I was like, well,
we're just the rage bait podcast now apparently.
Say one thing that people disagree with and that's that.
Now we have always said, listen, we can't help it.
We're always going to be honest.
We're going to give what we think on a a game doesn't mean that we're right or wrong
It's just our opinion on something and boys it is time to give our opinion on schedule one
Who let's do this man, so I?
Ryan why don't you just describe what schedule one is to anybody that may not be familiar with this?
this business like game
Well, have you ever wanted to you know start and in and build your own empire from scratch?
Yeah, well schedule one is the ticket for you you you boot up into this world that the the biggest thing that I love about
this and and how this game plays out is it's this kind of,
it's not really like a, I wouldn't say survival,
type crafting game, but you are, you're crafting,
you're exploring the town, you're making up,
you're starting your drug empire.
Like I said, you are advancing your way up the ladder
within the neighborhood and
And you you're in this this area
Cops are after you cops are searching around you got to go around you got to make your deals
You have to hide from the cops if they can't if they get on you
You got to run from the cops you have your home base
So it's just it has a nice set of progression as you go through this world kind of entry level
and it just goes up and up and up as you build your empire.
So it's definitely one of those cooler type,
I don't know, how would you describe like,
what you would call it?
It's a progression game.
It's a progression, like it's not a-
It's a simulator progression kind of game.
Simulator style, yeah, drug simulator basically.
Yeah, it is a simulator, but no, it's not.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm gonna get sued again.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I think in its simplicity,
it is a game that is just based off of progression.
Yeah, you start off as a little small time drug dealer
trying to move your first bag of weed,
and before you know it, you're buying huge houses and trying to make more space so that
you can produce and grow and manufacture other stuff that you can then sell to people.
You acquire money, and then you get upgrades.
And that's really the basic gameplay loop on this.
I mean, as simple as it is...
It's a pretty simple game.
Yeah. In in theory, it is now there's a lot that you can do in it
that makes it enjoyable and kind of adds to the gameplay elements on this.
But yeah, I mean, I think that is the gist of the game.
You are trying to go from a small time nobody to building your drug empire.
The game has a very good tutorial
that it kind of puts you through that introduces you to the mechanics, which I think is great.
It's fun right off the rip. I mean, you get to talk to your uncle who is, you know, a
bad guy. If you've ever wanted to play Breaking Bad, that's the best way to describe Schedule
1. Like it really is. Breaking Bad Simulator. Yeah, that really is it. You know, you don't
know what you're doing. You just kind of figure it out along the way's just breaking bad simulator. Yeah. I mean, that's really is it. You know, you don't know what you're doing.
You just kind of figure it out along the way and, and then off you go.
Um, so we did get a chance to all play this together.
Um, I, you know, I think ACE and I, I don't remember if Ryan was right
there on the very first tutorial or not.
I was not in the first little opening.
You and I started first.
We got through the tutorial and got things, you know, hit the ground running as it were.
The fun. So this is where we knew this game was going to be fun is right off the bat.
You have to, you know, go and learn the game mechanics, but then you come back and it says,
Hey, let's make your character. And half the fun was ace. And I just giggling as we're
looking through all the options for this character creator and anybody that's been listening to this show for a while does
I could care less about what my character looks like.
I don't generally spend a whole lot of time in there, but man, Ace and I are just like,
I am trying to make my guy looked as cracked out as possible.
You can adjust things like the size of your pupils, how red your eyes are,
how low your eyelids hang.
The eyelids got me. The eyelids are so funny, man.
Ace winds up, and we don't know what we're making. We can't see each other until it's
done. And then we load in and I went with the most like cracked out looking guy with
just these big buggy eyes and his pupils are huge. And I'm like, Oh man, I'm going to look like I'm just tweaking nonstop. And then a slow Zen and he is naked
Willie Nelson. Basically this old guy, fittingly this old guy with gray hair that just can
barely open his eyes. And I was like, okay, man. This game is gonna be a good time
I thought it was like he looked almost identical to like
If if Rick from Rick and Morty was just a like a pothead
Yeah, like that was with long hair like that was that was a that was his character, which was awesome to see running around
It was fun Megan that character I'll say finding out I could just go in with no clothes and nothing but sandals was probably the best part.
Yeah.
So, like I said, the game has a good tutorial.
It kind of walks you through things.
It makes you realize that there's probably a little bit further scope or scale in this game than originally thought
because you get in a truck and you start driving.
And like you said, Ryan, you know, it teaches you kind of how to avoid the
police and how to find the people that you're looking for and stuff like that.
So you get through the tutorial and then it puts you into the actual game itself.
And this is the city where schedule one takes place.
It kind of drops you off.
You have an RV of all cliche things that is straight out of Breaking Bad.
I mean, I'm pretty sure it's the
exact RV out of Breaking Bad. They did that on purpose. And then they say, hey, go build your
empire, man. Yeah. You know? And so what's the first thing that happens, right? Do you remember?
Well, I wasn't there for it. He wasn't here. No, that's why he joined us a little bit later. I did.
And so when I hopped in, I'm looking, and you guys had got the apartment up there and whatnot.
And so I'm looking around at the map.
I'm like, how do I, because I didn't go through the tutorial.
I just hopped in, you know, and raw, you know, just hopped right in.
Let's see what happens.
And so I look and I was like, guys, we have an RV.
And you're like, oh no, no, no, that's burned down. Yeah. That down. That thing caught fire and it's burned down I was like oh okay never mind then.
So the RV catches on fire so I don't know what you guys did but you know you ruined our RV.
It was the Rivals. The Rivals. The Rival Empires. The Rivals. Oh there you go.
All right so you get dumped into this town. The game kind of points you in the right direction.
It has a new mechanic where every time
that there's something new to introduce,
the game, your uncle calls you and says,
hey, I hear you're making a name for yourself.
Here's an upgrade.
You need to start thinking about growing your own weed
and maybe distributing that to make some money.
So he always calls you on a payphone and points you in the right
direction, which I think is great.
And, you know, you need a place to stay.
So Ace, what's the very first place that you get in this game?
You get a hotel.
That's what like $75 a week or something like that is the greatest deal I've ever
heard my entire life.
Yeah.
So you get this hotel room and you start realizing that, oh, OK, this is where our base of operations is.
And this is where you get to kind of plunk down, you know, grow tents
and mixing stations and bagging stations and stuff like this.
And this is where the kind of crafting element of Schedule One comes in.
You know, I'm a sucker for crafting games like in progression games.
I mean, we have said a gazillion times, I love good progression.
I like crafting, even though I'm not much of like a base builder kind of guy.
But if you dangle a carrot in front of me and say, hey, go try to reach this step.
I am just chasing. Oh, give me that.
Like, you know, like, wait, there's another strain of weed
that we'll be able to unlock?
Like, how do I get there?
Let me call the supplier.
And so Ace, why don't you like kind of carry us
through some of the, like just the early gameplay elements.
You know, maybe like, you know, like you said,
you do have a supplier, there's a warehouse
or a hardware store.
I mean, you know, you've got your motel room kind of carry us
through the very beginning, kind of getting set up
and getting your feet under yaw in this game.
Well, like you said, in the beginning, you have the hotel room,
which is your first base of operations.
It's not a ton of room, but it's enough.
So you'll go down to the hardware store.
You'll buy your first first grow tent, call your supplier and get your
first set of pot seeds or whatever.
I think it's like OG Kush is your very first, uh, strain and man, they, they love
it.
They love that Kush.
But in order to sell any of it, you've got to get customers first.
So you need to walk around the town and hand out free samples and be like
Hey like this. I know where you could get some more
Yeah, I love this I'll call you now sure or the video
Get out of here
Now the best part about this is when you are trying to build your customer base like eight like you said ace you do
Have to give them a free sample like everybody knows the first
Times free and then you got to pay you know exactly we're told growing up right and oh the drug dealer is the first time
They'll give it to you, and then you got to pay after that well schedule one leans into that
But the hilarious part is the first time you give something to somebody and they try it
They just instantly go from like a normal person to like just their eyelids are half closed, their eyes turn blood red, they start walking slower.
We got some good stuff, man. I don't know.
That's when you're just like, oh my goodness, this game is really like just leaning into this, man.
In the best way possible.
Yeah, it is. It is definitely. And it's based on two, like a lot of the,
a lot of the different strains, if you will, have a lot of different effects. And so then
a lot of those, you know, change when you give them the sample and they may like it
or not like it. And, and it's so awesome to see the reaction, like real time on the spot,
right when you give it to them. And that's kind of some of the beef me and Keith have,
and we'll go over that later. Don't you worry. we'll get to the Keith here. Don't worry. So anybody that enjoys a crafting progression based type of game,
schedule one is very likely going to be up your alley. You know, this is what's funny to me, right, is my my brother, Andy, you know,, his sons are gamers.
He's my nephew, we play a lot of games together
and stuff like that.
Well, Andy saw that schedule one was taken over the world
and he was very curious and wanted to jump in.
And then the next thing he's just like,
dude, we are having so much fun.
My nephew's playing, my sister is playing,
she's doing all
the like the house stuff, like growing the plants and all this stuff.
Andy and my my nephew running around town like slinging all this.
And it's just it is that satisfying of a gameplay loop.
Like. I thought this game was going to be dumb.
It looks like Roblox type graphics, you know, I'm just like, man,
this is going to be this is just going to be stupid. It's going to be dumb. It looks like Roblox type graphics. You know, I'm just like, man, this is going to be, this is just going to be stupid. It's going to be dumb. But then you look at the
steam reviews guys. I mean, what have you looked at it? What's it at right now? Like
it's at eight, nine hundred five thousand. Yeah. Seven thousand overwhelmingly positive
on steam. Ninety seven thousand reviews. And is that a 98%? What's the percentage?
The percentage is overwhelmingly is 96 and higher. I think.
Yeah. On steam DB it's 97, 97%
Yeah. 97. Yeah. That's so when you have a hundred thousand reviews on a game and
a game is sitting at 97% positive rating, there's very little to dislike about
a game.
Like that doesn't mean that this game is Red Dead Redemption 2 or anything like that by
any means, but there probably is some truth to all of those reviews that are saying, hey
guys, this game is just dumb fun.
And it's dumb fun.
You know how many people right now, right now think that it's dumb fun.
Two hundred and ninety five thousand people are on the game in the game right now.
Wow. Yeah.
Have we mentioned that this game is indie and done by a solo dev solo developer
made schedule one?
And it's it's a it's a it's a good game guys
Yeah, I want to get into some of the fun stuff
But we got to take a very quick break and then we're gonna come back and talk about some of the stuff that just
Makes this game enjoyable
All right, we're back we're talking schedule one
We've kind of chatted about the early part of this game and getting set up now one of the things that we didn't talk about on this is that the town that you're
in is a live.
There is a time of day.
You can do different things during different times of day.
When night comes around, there is a police curfew that goes into effect and the police
are out in force.
And this is where you start to have to kind of be stealthy.
If you're out and about making your drug deals and selling things and stuff
like that.
The game gives you a phone to kind of manage stuff.
You know, don't be dumb like me and ace and not realize that there's very important things
you can do on your phone.
Like maybe if you happen to develop a new strain that you're trying to sell to people
and it's worth a lot more money and you keep wondering why everybody just wants that OG Kush and they
won't want to buy your nice new fancy granddaddy purple that you have.
Well that's because you probably didn't go into your little cell phone and go to the
products tab and say, Hey, I have this for sale now.
We were 15 hours into this. And that's way too long to figure out that we messed up.
Like, why? Why did?
Why is this all they want?
They were like, that's all we they we've had.
That's all we're selling, man.
And I had so much that I'm just like, I'm just going to go broadcast everything to everybody.
And I had like eight different strains with me.
And I'm just running around and just giving stuff to everybody.
I'm like, they got to they got gotta get hooked on it like it's good
You want some crack cake or whatever it was called or all these?
And I'm watching everybody do all these crazy like reactions when I give them samples. It was it was wild
Yeah, I mean we just started giving out the granddaddy and just like I hope it passes the skill check
It would not sometimes like if if it so the skill checker. Yeah, and it would not.
Sometimes like if, so the way that customers,
the way that you go, cause like, let's be honest,
the sales and the actual selling of these drugs
that you're making is a major part of the game.
And the way that it handles that is you get text messages
from people that say, hey, I want to buy four bags
of OG Kush or, you know, until you figure out
that you can list something different, it's just going to be OG Kush or, you know, until you figure out that you can list something
different, it's just going to be OG Kush forever.
And then once you list another product, they go, Oh, well, I'll start buying that.
So people will text you and say what they want to buy.
And then you have to then say, okay, you can negotiate pricing.
So there's a little bit of like negotiation there.
And then once you confirm, they'll say, okay.
And then you set a time of day that you will meet them.
And then you literally have to run through town and go meet them wherever they said
they'll be waiting for you.
And just like any kind of drug game, there's people standing behind trees and behind
this building, just waiting for you and you walk up and you know, you interact with
them and it's time to make the deal and you give them the, however many baggies
they ordered, they give you the cash. They blaze up right away, and then they walk away
That's the that's kind of the loop for the customers
But like we hinted at they're not always happy and if you try to give them something that they didn't ask for or you try
to short them
Things can go awry and that is where Keith comes in because this game does allow
you to throw punches as well, which Ryan discovered after Keith told him, Hey, I don't like your
products Ryan. What happened?
So in addition to punches, you can also, I guess, use knives and bats and all these other crazy things.
So I was still kind of new to it when I first met Keith.
I was trying to just go out and market
and do like a good, you know, entrepreneur would.
So I see a guy and I'm like,
hey buddy, do you wanna try some of this?
Oh, you have these,
cause when you click on somebody,
they have their type, uh, of
reaction they want, if you will.
So, so they're, they're in different strains, have those different types of reactions.
Some have a sleepy power, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but it based on what you mix into
it.
So I gave him what he wanted.
This is what he was listed under.
And then he just goes, Oh, that's garbage.
Well, and he was talking mad smack to me after.
I gave him some free-
Don't talk about our product.
Yeah, I was giving him some free stuff
and he's talking smack to me.
So then I said, guys, this guy's showing us
a little bit of disrespect.
What should I do?
Josh immediately is like, dude, no, punch him.
Teach him a lesson.
Punch him, dude.
Josh is like, teach him a lesson.
And I'm like, yeah, this is our turf.
That's right. And I was like, all right, Keith, let's square up. Boom. I
pop them right in the dome. And then he like falls back and, and, uh, then Keith gets up
all of a sudden Keith decides he's going to pull out a knife. I want to tell this from
ACE and I side of you because we're at the, we're at the apartment, you know, manufacturing
stuff and we hear Ryan go like, yeah, what's up, Keith? Boo. Oh, he's got a knife. Oh, he shanked me. He shanked me. And all we hear is you
getting shanked by Keith. Yeah. He did have a knife and he did shank me. And then I, cause
I, I still hadn't experienced that in the game yet. So I was totally, I was totally
got off guard when I just see him whip out and he's got a knife in his hand.
And I'm like, is that a knife? Oh, it is a knife.
And he just shanks me right there.
And I was like, ah!
And then I, you know, I definitely ran away
and just booked it after that.
But these characters are pretty crazy
out in them streets, man. The streets are tough.
I mean, you can also get them addicted
to the point where they will come to your base
and be like, you got anything, anything addicted to the point where they will come to your base and be like,
you got anything, anything at all.
Yeah. Keith showed up at our house, our doorstep. We had just moved.
So, you know, like I mentioned, the progression, you know, you start off with this tiny little hotel room
that you then can kind of move into an apartment.
You then get to move into a bungalow.
Love the bungalow.
And it's every time you, every time you move up, you're so happy.
You're like, oh my goodness, we've got space to do what we need. So much room for activities.
So much meth here. You're out of the room all of a sudden. So the house was a big step
up for us, but you know, we opened the door and there's cracked out Keith standing on
our doorstep with his eyes all bugged out. He's like, give me, I don't care. Just give
me something. You give me something.
You give me something.
And we know at this point Keith is crazy,
so we're like, we gotta get rid of Keith, man.
So we just gave Keith whatever we had,
and then Keith walked away.
We were scared of him.
We thought he was a scary guy.
But I will say that as dumb as it is,
the different characters that are wandering around town
kind of help make this game.
What's the panhead guy? What's the one? Oh?
Dan funky Dan I think is
With like just underwear and then like a like a vest and then the pan on his head or a pot on his head
Yeah, he's crazy
Jesse Jesse is the girl that looks like she is just been living in a gutter. She's down at the end of the motel
She will buy anything that you've got for her.
But I'm just like, Jesse girl,
you need to get you some help, man.
You are looking rough, man.
Let's not forget about our boy, Benji.
Benji!
Yeah.
Benji's the goat.
He's our dealer.
He was the reason we made our process really work
when we couldn't figure out how to sell nothing.
Yes.
Benji had it under control.
He knew what to do.
So that's kind of a neat point about, again,
kind of towards the progression of the game
and the characters that you run into
is you do get to unlock people that
will deal your drugs for you.
Yep.
So kind of explain that process and how that works
and why it's such a good thing, Ace.
Well, while you're progressing, obviously, this
is something you really want, is to be
able to make money faster and faster and faster. And, you know, eventually you're going to
run out of strains from the provider that you currently have who only gives you, you
know, certain amount of weed seeds, certain amount of things a day. So as you go through
the game, you're going to get new providers and dealers, which are the biggest game changer. I think this game has to offer is the ability to set a client
list under these dealers, fill their inventory up and just have
them go make passive income for you.
Basically they'll make all the deals.
They'll go meet up with the clients and then you get the proceeds.
It's a win-win situation.
Dude.
It's awesome.
I would roll around.
You guys would be, uh, getting, you know, all the stuff from
the hardware store and getting baggies and getting, um, you know, all the
gross stuff in soil, and then I'd just be running around slinging, you know,
whatever I could, and I'd swing by Benji, pick up what he has.
He's got like 1400 bucks.
I'm like, all right, sweet.
I grabbed the money, stock them back up, come back to base, drop off, and then
just kind of loop that over and over again.
And it was so awesome.
Every time I'd roll up, I'd be like, dang, Benji, good job,
brother.
You're kicking butt.
Benji's the man, dude.
Yeah, he's the real one, guys.
He would go out.
He'd just do his business.
He takes 20%.
So there is a cost to having Benji.
But yeah, there was nothing greater
than being really low on money and then being like, oh, let's
go check our dealer guys.
You know, and you swing by and Benji's got 1200 cash sitting on them.
And then you're like, here you go, Benji.
Like you take the money, you give them some more product and then Benji
just keeps working, man.
And he was able to sell the stuff like that.
We were not advertising somehow.
Yeah.
Like he was successfully selling the stuff, even though he didn't have it.
I was like, all right, whatever.
Yeah.
Works. Successfully selling the stuff even though he didn't have it. I was like, all right, whatever Yeah works this game does give you options on how to make your empire efficient later on in the game
You can hire different people to do things around your house
Which we discovered you can hire like a botanist to game plan all the seeds for your marijuana plants and then water them and then
Harvest them and one of the things that we haven't talked about and I love this aspect of this game.
Everything you do in this game is a mini game.
Now, that doesn't mean that it's complicated because some of these are very, very simple.
But even something like filling up a water bucket
so that you can water your plants is a little mini game.
Takes you to a little screen, push the push the faucet, fill up the bucket.
You know, that kind of stuff, watering the plants.
You got to you got to click and hold and then kind of drag it.
So it tips the water pot.
And then you got to move around to these little targets and stuff like that.
I love these little touches to keep people engaged.
Is it busy work?
Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah.
But at the same time, exactly.
It gives you something to do,
but it also ties into the progression
because you later on get like automatic waterers
and automatic like soil distributors and things like that.
So there's again that carrot where you're constantly going
like, oh my goodness, we don't have to play
the stupid water mini game to keep everything like hydrated.
I'll spend $300 on an automatic water kind of thing.
And so I paid my time and I'm going to, we did it. It's, it's so cool too. Cause like,
even like clipping the bud, you know, off, you're like, and you're bringing it in and
then packaging. I had so I'm like the pack, the first time, dude, the first time I packed
with the Mark two, I was like, Oh my God, guys, this is the greatest thing ever. I love
that thing. This is amazing. I'm like, watch and it, this is the greatest thing ever. I love that thing.
Amazing. I'm like, watch and it seal it and shoot it to the side. I'm like, yeah, once again. And I just do 20. I'm like, I'm doing more.
And I go and get more and then come back and package more.
It's just that's so wild when the busy work is like exciting and fun, you know?
But every time you do it, you realize that you're about to make money.
Like everything goes towards the process of you being able to
Sell these drugs to make money so that you can then get your upgrades that you want get the convenience items that you want
You know and at the end of every day because you do have to sleep in your bed to kind of end a day
But you get experience points that say hey you go from being like a little street rat to like a hoodlum to like a
that say, hey, you go from being like a little street rat to like a hoodlum to like a dealer.
And every time you go up in level,
new items unlock in the game
that you can purchase either from the hardware store
or like a gas station,
or maybe you finally made enough connections
with the people in town that they introduce you
to a new provider, like supplier,
so that now you can get pseudo pills.
And as soon as you get pseudo pills, you're like,
oh, we're on our way to making meth, boys.
I know what to do with these.
And this game does not shy away.
I mean, you go from, you know, selling your weed empire
to then, you know, going into like,
hey, it's time to make more money.
And how do we do that?
We got to sell harder stuff.
And before you know it, you're manufacturing meth
and you're giving it to your dealers
and you're now you're making a lot of money.
But now everybody in town is starting to get
a pretty severe addiction.
And you see it and like where people start looking,
they don't look so good anymore.
There's like trash everywhere.
You're like, oh, there's trash all over this city.
What did I do?
So, you know, the fun part is the cops in the game, like, honestly, they add just
enough layer of like, oh, no, watch out, because if you try to there's cops that
wander around all the time, even if there's not a curfew going on, there's cop
checkpoints that you have to try to either sneak through or go around.
If you try to make a drug deal with somebody and there are cops nearby,
sometimes you can't see him. Like if you're kind of behind some trees and you don't see the cops, but they're close enough
They they will bust you I
Have had many a foot
And I was slinging something to somebody and they saw a drug deal go down and This is very much kind of GTA style where you have kind of like a you know
It'll say hey
You're under arrest and then you have to flee long enough for that to kind of you know go away
And then you're clear again
But the cops in the game really do add that layer of just tension because it makes it to where you can't just do
Whatever you want to do at any time.
And so especially if you're, you're slinging at night, you have to watch out because if
you're out after curfew, if they see you at all, you're in trouble.
And so it's on site.
Yeah, exactly.
And so I love that little bit of danger that it adds to the game.
I like that there is that risk.
Like do I go out at night and try to fulfill all these orders to people, but I got to dodge the cops. But if I get arrested, then they take bonus on your deals and stuff, which you're like,
do I want the bonus?
Do I not want the bonus?
Like that's, you know, there's another carrot for you, Josh.
Yeah, dude, I'm a sucker for it, man.
I'm not going to lie.
Like, I mean, we play the same way we played the heck out of this game for a while, man.
I mean, it was just our, our sessions at a time, like hours at a time, where just, we got to get this.
We got to get this.
And then you start making it.
You're dealing meth, you're dealing this high strain, high value weed.
You've kind of got everything just rocking and rolling.
You've got it down to a science, especially if you're playing with friends, which I highly
recommend. especially if you're playing with friends, which I highly recommend, grab at least one buddy to play this with,
because that really highlights
where this game shines in my opinion,
and that's kind of the cooperative nature,
because you're constantly, like, let's be honest,
this game's a little grindy, right?
I mean, I think we all agree that it's a little grindy
to plant seeds and water plants and harvest plants and bag them up and then go sell them, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat until you
have enough money for some kind of upgrade.
It is great when you get that Mark 2 bagging station because now instead of one little
baggie at a time, you're doing like five at a time and it's a different mini game for
that.
But there is just an inherent grind in any kind of game like this.
And when you've got a buddy and then we fell into this role perfectly, which I loved, dude, like for when it was the three of us, Ryan was the drug dealer.
Ryan was the guy that was running around town, slinging stuff to everybody, checking on Benji, making sure Benji's got product, collecting the money.
Ace and I are doing the manufacturing.
We're just cranking out the pots
You know making sure these plants are growing as fast as possible
I'm making runs to the hardware store, you know, and it's like you're just you're really able to kind of work together
You know if you've got buddies to do it with even Ryan when you weren't on ace was the guy managing the house and the grow
Operations and then I was the one that was out slinging all of it making making the money, bringing back baggies. Oh my goodness. You're always running
out of baggies. Dude, I think I probably bought 5,000 baggies. That's crazy, man. It was so many.
I was always in the house. I do want to say one of the funniest things, and this has to do with, with all of this stuff is, is that to get on a game,
uh, with, uh, my family, friendly, uh, podcast hosts.
And I hear, um, cause I was a little bit, you know, behind, I was, I missed a
tutorial part, so they were already kind of rocking and rolling in the very
beginning of the game and to hear Josh and ACE talking about, Hey, we need to
get more baggies, hate, we need soil for the, uh, for the next OG Kush. Granddaddy purple. We got granny purple. I need to get I need to get more seeds
because our dealers this oh we got we got a deal coming up here we got a we
got a stock back up Benji before we do that and just to hear like the drug talk
was the funniest thing in the world for me for like two hours I was like I can't
I can't stop laughing this is this is like the greatest thing ever it was hilarious my
my wife was just like what are you playing and my kids cuz they're gamers are like
oh dad's playing schedule one but it is literally the funniest thing to just be
shouting and being like yeah boys we can make meth now
Yeah, boys, we can make meth now. We're making meth, yeah.
There are some very out of context things
in our Discord right now about making meth.
Yes, and what's really funny is at one point,
so we unlock pseudo, but we don't know what to do
with the pseudo, we don't know where to get the pseudo.
So we're like, well, I'll just Google it,
how to get pseudo to make meth.
And then I was like, whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
back, back, back, back, back, back, back.
Schedule one video game,
where to get more pseudo video games,
schedule one video game.
Every search needed to start with the words,
schedule one video game.
Yeah, oh my goodness, man.
But yes, I will say like a lot of the people that we've talked to have
just been enamored with this game, but the conversation, you know, Jesse, you ain't looking
so good girl. You need to lay off that granddaddy purple girl. You might need to take a little
bit of a break, you know, and then she's sitting, you know, cranky Frank's walking around with
a pan on his head. Now, the funniest part is when you start getting into the slightly harder stuff,
if you give it to somebody or these strains, because you can,
you can add additives to anything that you make.
And at one point we put a bunch of additives in something and we gave it to a lady
and she just completely like change color.
You know what I mean? Like she just She had been the same lady the whole game,
and then all of a sudden she's just a complete,
her hair's a different color,
her skin's a different color,
and we are like, what happened to Miss Ming, man?
I remember.
Yeah.
And then, you know. We couldn't find her,
because we had another order for her,
and they were like, where'd she go?
I hated Miss Ming.
I gave her five samples
before she finally started to buy from us cuz I kept trying
She's like this is crap, you know
Oh man, I mean yeah just some of the some of the moments in this game lend themselves to it's just a fun game guys
That's like plain and simple. It's just a fun game now
I will say this because I always like to bring up what doesn't work in a game or where, you know,
what's not the best.
And Ace, you and I hit this last night, actually,
where we had hopped back in, we were playing,
we're manufacturing meth, we've got two dealers
at this point, we're laundering our money, you know,
we bought a car, like there's all these things
that you can do.
But at one point, kind of just went,
it's a grind at this point.
Yeah, we just went, I'm done.
It's grindy now.
Like that is the ultimate wall that you will run into
with any kind of game like this.
I mean, Pal World, I mean, any game, Rust.
I mean, it is the nature of these types of games
that it's like, yes, there is still progression.
There was a lot of progression that we hadn't hit yet.
I mean, there are giant Beverly Hills mansions that you can get.
You can start to buy weapons and kind of do what you want with the
the weapons in the game.
We'd only begun to launder money.
I mean, yeah, we didn't even get to the final like drug. Right.
Yes, there's multiple different drugs that you can make.
And we were only on like two out of three.
And there's definitely more coming too
But it that's where we just kind of hit the wall and we went look
We have had a ton of fun in this game
But if we're going to keep trying to progress it's just gonna get grindy because we have to make a lot of money to
Move to the next level
You know we're gonna get a couple of upgrades along the way
But is it really something we want to dump another six or seven hours into just to say we've made it to the next step in this
game or do we want to go play Marvel rivals and get ready for season two?
And we kind of went, let's go play Marvel rivals.
Like we've, we've put enough into this game at this point.
Ryan, do you kind of feel this?
And I know you didn't get as much play time as Asen I did,
but I mean, you got a lot, but can you kind of see that?
Yeah, I think there's that spot where,
one of the big things I think with this game is,
it puts you in a realm where the vast majority
of people playing are never gonna experience this thing
and that's what's kind of fun about it.
Just like GTA, I'm not gonna go around and drive my car crazy and shoot and do heists and do all these things, but that's what's kind of fun about it. Right. Just like GTA.
I'm not gonna go around and drive my car crazy and shoot and do heists and do all these things,
but that's why it's fun.
So at some point you have to have that carrot keep being enticing and with like GTA like
different heists you're like, okay, it's always fun to rob people and do heists.
Doing the grindy kind of work and just trying to get to the next level of making the next drug or whatever
It's at some point you run into a lull
So if they're able to to make it more enticing, I think they'll have something
Pretty substantial there, but there's definitely like a wall you hit where okay
I got like, you know this many percentage of the drugs like joy
Like you said, do I really want to spend another six hours to try to get to the next level?
So yeah, I definitely see I definitely see how the the grind can kind of catch up to her you lose a little bit of that
Enticement to just keep you know, keep hustling man, cuz that's what you do in this game. You're just a hustler
Yeah, I mean that's literally what you do is you're just you're growing and you're hustling it, you're manufacturing it and you're hustling it.
You're buying that next upgrade, that next house for more space.
And I mean, even with our house that we were in, we were kind of running low
on room already because you're just scaling everything up at that point.
You know, so I to me, that is the number one drawback for this game.
And it's not it's not specific to schedule one necessarily,
but I feel like I hit that wall with this game pretty hard as far as like,
okay, well we've kind of seen most of the content at this point.
Now the game is in early access.
Um, and so they have a roadmap.
There's all kinds of content that I mean, while we were playing, they
released a big, uh, patch and stuff like that, but it is the nature of it that
you're just going to hit that grind wall
And if you're okay with that, there's plenty to do
But if you're not okay with it, then that's probably where you're gonna go. All right
I'm just gonna put this game down for a while now
so now did you guys see in in that update or any the potential like
Future stuff is it cuz one of my biggest gripes by far is not having the dedicated server stuff like yeah
That's yeah, is that is that potentially coming up? Did you guys see that or at all?
I haven't seen anything about that now
so that that was one because I know I
Personally like I've been working seven days a week like for like the last two months, and I'm I'm dying here
But I try to hop on and they'd be playing and I'd be so jealous because they're just talking about like all the drugs they're making in the discord and I'm stuck at work
and then I'd get home late and I can't just go hop on Josh is asleep and I can't go hop
on and do my thing. So for me, that was by far in a way, like my biggest hang up. Cause
like, I want to play this game, but I don't want to start my own when I have it with you
guys and just kind of rerun the stuff I've been running. So that was, that was a big issue. I mean, I would even
financially like, okay, five bucks a month for some server access. You know, I would
a hundred percent do that. So, um, that, that's something that I hope they implement in the
future. I think it'll help them.
I would imagine they would, that seems like a pretty critical thing in a game like this,
because like you said, if you're playing with us and we're advanced and we, you know, we
have 15 hours into this game and then you're like, well, I feel like
playing and you hop into your own world, you're starting from scratch because you're not playing
on my world at that point. And so you are no longer part of the Romain Empire at that
point. Yeah. Yeah. So anything else that didn't really work for you guys as far as gameplay
or just elements of the game? I have one massive gripe with this game and it's the map.
I hate the map is terrible.
Yeah, it's really bad.
We would unlock new regions and be like, oh, you unlocked midtown.
You want downtown.
I still don't know where midtown is.
Where is midtown?
Yes, I'm with you, Ace.
I is that where they filmed the Minecraft movie?
Oh no, don't start.
Oh no.
Yeah, the map is atrocious.
It's trying to, I mean, you do kind of learn your way around some of the sections in the map.
But then like you said, you know, when you progress far enough, you unlock a new section or zone of the map.
And it's like there's new clientele, there's new shops,
there's new everything that you're supposed to be able
to do here.
But like part of the, part of the gate keeping in this game
is like, if you go up to somebody on the street
and you try to give them a free sample, it will be,
it'll be like, you know, read it out to where it's like,
you must unlock the docs sector first.
And then I'm like, why do I have to unlock the docs
to be able to offer this guy a free sample kind of thing?
But that's where the game works.
We're already breaking the law.
Like, why can't I just, I can sling my drugs wherever, bro.
What are you trying to tell me where I can go?
What do you mean I'm not cool enough
to talk to you crazy Dave?
Yeah.
All right guys.
So as we're wrapping up here,
this game is in early access.
Is there a feature other than a better map and Ryan dedicated servers?
Is there a feature or something that you hope to see
that would just blow this game out of the water for you?
I would like to see rival drug dealers in the game that you can come across
and they'd be like, hey, you're on my turf. Other players.
Yeah, other players.
Yeah, that'd be great.
If we could link up with other people's worlds
and then now we've got an actual,
we're fighting over territory and an empire
with your friends, that to me is, yes.
Bring it on, baby, bring it on.
That would be really cool, especially if they did a,
kind of like, remember San Andreas,
where you'd get
your green turf and you can take over different quadrants or areas like if you
had your turf you know and then they had their turf and then people could venture
over you could try to steal you know their clientele over to yours and stuff
and then you could have you know beef with each other and that would be that
would be really neat honestly I think there's just, there's so much available content
that they could branch out to.
There's no reason that this game shouldn't get
even better in the future.
So yeah, I'm excited to see what they do.
Is it worth the $20 price tag in your opinion?
And quantify that with if you're playing solo
or if you're playing with friends.
I think with friends, it's absolutely worth the $20.
I haven't played it enough solo to say whether or not
it'd be worth the 20.
I don't think I'd enjoy it near as much solo.
I think I would burn out on it a lot faster,
having to do all of the work myself up to, you know,
the trimming, the packing, and the running
until you unlock Benji.
And then I also probably would never remember to buy seeds
because Josh bought all the seeds.
Yeah, Josh did.
He was always like, we need more seeds.
We need more seeds.
I would never remember.
You know?
Yeah, I mean, I was the seed go-getter, man.
Because nothing's happening if you ain't growing, man.
Yeah.
We're almost out, guys.
Guys, guys, guys, I need extra money.
I'm going to make a big order. And then Josh would will come back and our just racks would just be racks on racks on racks of
Seeds and I'm like
Bro
That might not be the right saying there. You don't get high on your own supply.
What are you doing?
Well, there also was the fact in game.
Every time we unlocked a new strain, we were like, all right, boys, time to toast.
We did.
We did toast together.
When we got the new house, we were by the lake and we're like, all right, let's go.
You know, that was a,
I tried.
I like my character tried the meth in the game.
Cause I was like, can you do this?
And you can.
And your guy gets cracked out of the house.

And you're like, oh, I'm going to do this. You know that was we I tried I like my character tried the meth in the game because I was like
Can you do this and you can and your guy gets cracked out dude like everything in the world starts vibrating?
like all the images start vibrating and stuff, and you just hear this constant like
Like while you're playing I was like ace I'm so tweaked out right now, man
I don't know when this is gonna stop.
I'm so scared right now.
It's a cage coming at us.
No, no, no.
Ah!
Get in the car, we're gonna run over a cop.
So is this game a must play for people?
I mean, we're talking about it.
It's taken the internet by storm.
Is this like a, people should absolutely play this.
You know, what are your overall thoughts on the game,
you know, AKA rating on the game?
I think this game is just as addicting
as the drugs you sell in it.
And if you've got a good friend group
and a consistent friend group who likes to play online
with you all the time,
you absolutely should pick this game up and play with them.
Just have a good time making drugs with your friends.
I mean, what's the, what's the deal?
Yeah, no, exactly.
I mean, I, I think, uh, even literally one other
person, you'll have, you'll have so much fun.
Like I don't know exactly how fun it'll be on your own.
Um, I think it's still pretty solid and it would
be a good time, you know, just to mess around.
But like, just, just hearing you and ACE, like I said earlier, talking like
drug talk was worth the price of admission, dude, 20 bucks, like for that all day long.
Um, but with one or two people, even, you know, however many you can fit in a, in a
server, it's, it's definitely one of those that it's not a lot of money.
You'd pay that much to go to a movie.
You're going to get a lot more time out of this than than a movie. So
All the way definitely pick it up and just have a good time
I was real quick I was before I forget cuz I have a horrible memory
maybe it's cuz I was dipping in our stash too, but I
Was just that I was picking up stuff from my supplier my distributor for work
You know not that kind of supplier.
And I mentioned something to a guy that I've been talking to for a couple years about video games,
and I just said something about Schedule 1, and like three of our other shop workers came.
You guys play Schedule 1? And they came over, and we all talked Schedule 1 for like 15-20 minutes.
They're like, oh my gosh! And I was like, Keith, am I right? And they're like, yeah, Keith!
And so it's just, it's
definitely taking the world by storm and it's, it's for good reason. I think it's a solid,
solid game. Yeah. I, my opinion on this is grab a friend, just find one other person
to play with and you will have an absolute blast with this game. I, I personally highly
recommend getting a coworker involved in this game so that when you're at work,
you can be like, Hey dude, you think we're going to be able to make meth tonight? You know, like,
like, what about, like, do you think like, cause I mean, you know, we've got the oven,
we've got the mixing station, but we really need to kind of upgrade to meth at this point.
Matt, my buddy, Matt and I were talking about this at my job and it was funny because we were
just going into the og cush the green crack
the you know mess on our horizon and stuff and people were looking at us like
What are you guys talking about?
I love that this game could bring that just in a casual conversation
For $20 it is hard to beat the amount of fun that you can have in this game. The progression loop will absolutely keep you interested.
Well, we're like for long enough to get your money's worth out of it by far.
I don't think it's a great game solo unless you are the kind of person
that just loves a grindy type game.
I mean, I say grind grind sometimes has a negative connotation to it,
but there is always something for you to be working on in doing.
If you like that, then maybe playing solo, you know, is fine for you.
But this is one of those ones where it's so much better with somebody else to play with and just kind of share it with as well.
So, all right, guys, any other thoughts on schedule one?
I think we hit everything of importance play it is my that's my
Dollars it's well worth it. There is a reason that this game is so highly rated on Steam There's really very little to not like about it. There is a lot to like about it. You will absolutely laugh
You will absolutely play way too long
I mean it was that one of those games where it's like my wife's waiting on me
We're gonna watch a show and I'm like, hang on. Hang on. We just I got it
I got I got to go like I gotta go sell these like nine baggies
to people, you know, and then before you know it,
Ace is like, Josh, we're out of seeds.
And then I'm like, okay, hang on,
I just gotta go get another order of seeds, okay?
And then it's like, we can do that,
and Ace is like, hey, can you stop by
and pick up some more baggies?
Cause we can't package it.
And I'm, oh, okay, baby, give me five minutes,
I gotta get more baggies, you know?
And so-
Yeah, trash can's full, I need some trash bags.
Yeah, there's always something to do, man. Always something. Don't sleep on the trash, by the way. You can make a lot of money doing the trash. Yeah, if you, yeah, you know. Yeah, it's full. I need some trash bags. Yeah, there's always something to do, man.
Always sleep on the trash, by the way.
You can make a lot of money.
Yeah, if you left that up.
But if you burn trash, you can get a lot of money.
You can pick up trash for money, too,
if you're really hard up.
Yeah, so all right.
