I think Josh has really been crushing it lately with socials, especially with those TikToks and YouTube shorts. I am your host, Paul, and today we have a very special bonus round as we play Never Have I Ever Gaming Edition. And with me, never have I ever been able to grow a beard as glorious as his. It's Josh. Well, I knew who you were coming to on that one, Paul. I mean, not to slander Michael's little baby beard over there, but it's okay. Oh, baby beard. Yeah, little itsy bitsy baby beard over there. I like that as a nickname. And baby beard it's not a good beard it's okay baby beard yeah a little little little itsy bitsy baby beard over there i like that as a nickname and baby beard baby oh don't you do it don't you know no and uh the other baby beard himself all right and joining me and josh never

have i ever been dressed as fashionably as he always is it's michael i'll take that one as i sit here in my nike sweatshirt and maybe no pants right now who knows i just won't stand up it's a very dapper pink it is very it's very pink on the beard topic though it's fine i can't grow a long beard because my beard like grows from left to right and so like if i grow it out it just looks like it's windy all the time oh it just grows the side i don't i gotta pause for just a second guys because michael was talking about not wearing pants and then paul said it's very pink and i said i did not know where that was going at first oh wow i will refrain from saying anything else okay yeah all right well before we get started with the meat and potatoes of the episode I will refrain from saying anything else. Okay, yeah. All right.

Well, before we get started with the meat and potatoes of the episode, Josh, I think you've got a review to read. Someone left the show. We do. We've got a new five-star review that's coming in from my boy Josh16L. Oh, wow. And it's titled Entertainment at its Finest. And he writes, I've listened to these guys for a while,

keeping up on gaming news. Once their Hogwarts Legacy podcast released, I was so hyped up. I remember playing it the night of early release and thinking, holy crap, the combat is actually really good. The guys are going to love this game. Keep doing what you're doing

and I'll keep listening. Oh, and he was totally right we were shocked we were so thrilled just as much as he was thank you josh for reading the review about josh yeah that is not me by the way even though that is also the acronym of your last name having except i'm not 16 and uh right i i would not fake a review for our show. I do appreciate that review came in. Well, 16 IQ. Right.

Oh, that's nasty. I do appreciate that that review came in four stars above the last one that we read. Josh has been a really sad guy. So seriously, not to plug it all, but please leave us reviews. There was like a two-month stretch where we didn't get many. And the guy was coming into work, and we're just looking. And even his beard like wept and i don't know if you've ever seen a beard weep before but like you know last week's cheetos were kind of like falling out of it you know the food saver but leave leave some reviews if you'd like please we'd love to read

them on the show yeah it was nice to see josh's beard very excited today it's perky it's really perky guys straight up all right and then also it's time for everyone's new favorite segment let's do streamer of the week streamer of the week we don't have a drop for that right still so i just gotta do my own music still yes we do indeed the ever popular streamer of the week with the best drop in podcasts is here. Today, we are shouting out BasicWitGirl, who streams on Twitch. And I found her because typically the way I search is I look for games, and I saw Red Dead Redemption 2 on there, and I checked her out, and it is awesome.

I love it. She goes through Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2. I don't know if she just does that, but all I've ever seen her stream is both of them. But she's got a hilarious, hilarious wit to her, and she's called Basic Wit Girl, so it works really well. And just like all of our streamers, she's got an excellent rapport with her community,

literally insists. I was watching her show, and when someone gifted someone else a sub, she insisted that everyone thank that person. What a great way to extend positivity so we're extending the positivity your way again basic wit girl check her out on twitch the info is posted in the description below this episode oh very nice i actually watched her play horseshoes for like five minutes and what yeah like there's so many things to do in red dead i

actually completely forgot about and we have red Dead number one on our leaderboard. We do. And she actually mentioned that. Yeah. Like she went to our website and was like, yeah, I love that you guys have Red Dead number one. That's the coolest thing. Yeah. And here she's like engaging in some of those activities that even I forgot about as much as I love that game and have been through it so many times.

I actually forgot about so much that I did not think you were talking about the game. I thought she was actually doing like a real-life stream where she was actually playing horseshoes. Hammering horseshoes into a real horse on video. Okay, so today we are playing the very famous game Never Have I Ever. This is at least what we have found out is it is very well known by me, not so much Josh and Michael. This led to a little bit of communication snafu. I always remember hearing about Never Have I Ever while growing up. It's a very popular drinking game.

However, I was a very huge band nerd, straight A's in school, did not go to any crazy parties. So I never played before. I figured you guys knew what this game was and we just threw out the idea let's play never have i ever paul and then next thing i know you guys are completely confused about the rules and how this works you're asking me questions like wait so you guys guess whether or not i've i've done this and i just list things that i have or haven't done i think we're all now on the same page michael do you want to try to tell us the rules and and then i can correct anything if needed yes we will air quote try to explain the rules on this according to google the first player starts by no it's up here i can't get it wrong you can just add color to it

no so basically what happens is you have a group of people and it's kind of like an icebreaker type deal or a game where you can have um non-adult beverages or adult beverages whatever you have on hand and you say something like hey never have i ever done this thing. Never have I ever had to explain in a podcast playing Never Have I Ever before. And then what happens essentially is the other two people have to explain if they've done it or not. And this has to be something typically, now we might change the rules a little bit, that the person who is saying Never Have I Ever has never done in their entire life, like existence all 40 of my years young on this, this life.

Yes. So traditionally you would state something you've never done and it's a probe to see if anyone else in the room has now with the way you guys constructed yours, it may or may not work out that way. We'll just find out. It's just going to lead to some fun conversations. Josh looks like he's sweating bullets. I don't know that he's sweating bullets i don't know that he's i still don't know if he understands

this game i oh i understand it i've just prepared completely wrong so so allow me to defend myself up front for a second so basically the way i did this is i asked questions that I wanted to know whether you guys have done. Right. Right. Well, that's half right. And that's the half I'm going with. It's the good half. Once Paul properly explained this game, I kind of went, I've done all these things.

And I understood it as like two truths and a lie where I have to say it and you guys have to guess whether I've done that or not. Oh, yeah. I just wanted to know if these are things that, you know, am I a weirdo and I'm the only one that's done it or are you two weirdos too and have done these things in games? Have you met us? You guys know the best part of this is that Josh and I recorded a Never Have I Ever podcast in July of 2020. And we've just done so many shows that Josh pushed every ounce of remembrance or knowledge of this game out of his head because we have already done this. I did not anticipate there to be like miscommunication. Now, to be fair, Paul, you forgot we did this, too.

I did. Okay. Well, to be fair, I said I remember we did Gaming Confessions. At least I thought that was the name, but we actually did title it Never Have I Ever. I went back and re-listened to it. Josh, your big bombshell was that you had never played any Call of Duty game other than Warzone. At the time, you've played a bunch of them ever since, because now we've been on this pod a while. Yeah, I've played a few. I still have not played probably the average person's amount of Call of Duty, even still.

But yeah, that is something that's changed since 2020. Yeah, and my big never have I ever is that even though the 64 was my first console and one of my favorites, that I had never played Ocarina of Time. So we took a little bit of heat for that because those are some very beloved games and franchises. So that episode was geared more toward games we had never played.

I don't know about you guys. I tried to gear mine more toward things in general about gaming. So I don't know. Do you guys want me to go first? Do one of you guys want to go first? What do you want to do? Well, you should probably show us how it's done since we're going to be pretty downhill after you go. This way, the people that are listening get a good example of how to play this game and then it will completely fall apart when it's mine and

michael's just bonkers town after that i'm for it so i i know for sure that michael's probably done this but we're gonna see all right never have i ever cried at a video game oh i actually have never cried michael you've wait you've never cried a video game i've come close i mean i'm not saying that there haven't been moments where i've i've gotten the lump in the throat and done like the swallow but i've never actually cried at a video game neither one of you never no what's wrong with not a crier because i'm not crying maybe you don't have enough ram you never no what's wrong with i'm not a crier because i'm not crying maybe you don't have enough ram to understand this what's wrong with you people i i embrace a good cry okay and i i i i push it out if i i don't i don't try to cry but when a game

makes me cry i just go all in i'm embracing it so let me give an example uh let's see the last of us part one about 20 minutes in i actually had tears legitimately like that was intense um i don't know if i want to spoil it but horizon zero dawn about six hours and i cried a whole bunch like that was my this might i won't talk i gotta leave the show i'm gonna cry right now i've just never been much of a crier i mean there's like a couple movies every now and again but yeah it's just not really something that draws. I get very excited and exhilarated by games. There's times that I'll fist bump the air or I'll shout or I'll jump up or I'll throw my controller in rage or something like that.

But it doesn't pull any kind of like sadness or crying out of me. So, yeah, it's it's weird for me because I have definitely cried at movies. But video games, like I said, I've gotten sad before. But I don't think I have ever shed a single tear on a video game. Yeah. I feel like Michael would be like that scene in Dumb and Dumber where they're crying at the commercial over the phone company. And they're wiping their tears with the $100 bills. I feel michael's probably cried at a commercial or two back in the day i think i cried during the initial gears of war trailer the one that had the mad world by gary jules the tears

of fears remake because it was just beautiful and i think i cried of just straight beauty uh i could totally see that yeah all right so moving on let's let's go to you michael or josh josh's volunteer what do you got josh i got one because this is actually this is within the rules of the game i realized i didn't mess this one up guys you know let's just start off on the right foot before we completely crash this bus. Okay. So never have I ever called out sick to work just so I could play video games. Oh, man. I have that on my list. I'll scratch it off. I have not done that. I have not done that either. Really? I have also never scheduled time off for the game.

This is where I have. And that was going to be the thing if people were like, wait a minute, Josh has done this. It's like, no, I actually haven't, because I always schedule the time. And yes, I have definitely asked off of work to coincide with the release of a game, but I've never actually gotten up in the morning and just said, you know what? I just want to play this video game today i'm calling out sick i'm pretty sure there were times when i should have done that like doing an all-night land party uh playing like diablo 2 when i was working at the movie theater and i fell asleep behind the concession stand i probably should have called out but i didn't i showed up at work i for for a couple years i worked at usaa the insurance company if you've ever watched a football game you've seen like 25 ads per game right and i remember when the cardinals were in the Super Bowl. And for anyone who doesn't know, we all live in Phoenix. The Cardinals were playing in the Super Bowl, and our trainer said that we were still having work.

And we weren't even fully hired yet. It was just training. And they said no one is allowed to call off. And I'm pretty sure that all of us called off. I was like, I don't care. If they fire me fire me i'm not missing the you know finally getting into the super bowl for the cardinals uh so i've called off for other things like sports events i will call off for a mental health day for sure

but it's never been explicitly to play a game i might call off and then i'll end up playing something during the day oh i just remembered a great story i remember when i was working at the movie theater there were two other guys that were co-workers of mine and they both used to work for subway and on the day that diablo 2 released they shut their subway down without their boss knowing that way they could go pick up diablo 2 at gamestop and then they they ended up just going home and playing it. And they didn't even reopen the shop. So they shut down a Subway to play Diablo 2.

That's pretty baller, man. That's not just calling off. That's canceling the restaurant for the rest of the store. I mean, let's be honest. It's Subway. So it's like, eh, anyways. But still. It is funny because my bosses, who are some of my closest friends,

they know how much I love video games. And it's funny because if I'm ever like, hey, guys, I need to take this day off, their first response now is, oh, cool, what game's releasing? And I'm like, I'm going on vacation with my family the week after that. Yeah. Oh, that. Yeah. Oh, that's great. I love it. All right.

Moving on to you, Michael. What you got? Yeah. So actually, it's funny you mentioned GameStop. I'll start with this one. Never have I ever actually sold a game back to GameStop. Oh. Not only have I sold games back to GameStop, I have sold every game that I've ever purchased back to GameStop.

Yeah. I actually, it's funny because I've got, I have sold the system though. I sold my PS4 to them so I could, at midnight, to get the Battlefront Darth Vader edition. Remember that one? Yeah. The PS4 with the, yeah. And I did that. And then I also kind of sold the game back the same day

after i opened it to buy the same game so i don't know if that counts or not because it was skyrim i brought it home on the on the xbox realized didn't look great went back and said can i return this to like you opened it i'm like well i'll sell it back and just buy the pc version then instead oh yeah i don't think that counts for me it always just came down to finances like games were so expensive like i couldn't have a giant library of them so i would always sell the game right back so my goal was to always buy the game on the day it releases for 60 bucks beat it within like 15 to 20 days and then sell it back for 45 and that way the game only cost me 15 and i beat it and i would just never return to games ever so that i never had like more than one game at a time at most i had like two um and then

pc gaming kind of killed that for me because you stopped being able to sell pc games a very long time ago although i do remember back in the day when you could sell pc games because they didn't have to be activated or anything like that but But yeah, I've sold a lot of games back to GameStop. Josh, have you done this? I have. It's weird because I do have these vague memories of trading in a couple of games or selling a couple of games. But it was very rare for me to do that. Nowadays, and i am a fan of still buying we talked about this buying the physical copy of the game because you can sell it super easy like every switch game that we've ever gotten every playstation game that we've ever gotten

we play it and then we sell it and with you know apps like offer up and facebook marketplace it's so easy to just sell these things now yeah so. So GameStop might give me $5 for my $60 game. It's like, dude, somebody out there will easily give me 40 bucks for it. Kind of like what you're saying, Paul. $60 is a lot of money, but if I can turn around and sell it two weeks or a month later for 40 bucks, that game really cost me $20 to play. So yeah, I do remember selling games and trading them in. I could not tell you what game it was, but I do have the memory of taking two or three games into a GameStop, using the credit from those three to buy a game that my wife and I wanted when we first got married and had absolutely zero money. And we were like, man, if we get rid of these three games,

then we only got to pay $30 to be able to get this game that we really want. Yeah. So what's the score so far in the show? Because I think Paul won that one. Oh, I don't think there's any points, Michael. Oh, there's no plug here. I still don't get it. But Paul won that one because he had the best idea with 15 bucks for a game.

Jeez, I would have thought of that. Oh, you think that's a good idea? I got a way better one for you. Josh might remember this. This one's only a couple years back, and I think I told him about it at the time. A couple years ago, GameStop was running a promotion where if you traded in, I think, four games at once, they would give you an extra 50% trade-in value. And someone posted on Reddit that Plants vs. Zombies was $5 at Walmart, and their GameStop was paying them $20,

and then with the 50% kicker, it was $30. And I went to Walmart, and I bought a bunch of copies of Plants vs. Zombies. I traded all of them in unopened and got... I probably spent, like, whatever, $20 and then got back $120 or whatever. And I did that twice. So I didn't want to take too much

advantage of the system because I felt like there's nothing illegal about that, but at the same time, it's clearly some kind of issue with GameStop's pricing. But i did take advantage of that a couple years ago you're a better man than me paul i would i would have made 30 trips back and forth man bringing in a pilot every game stop in the in the county yeah i legitimately i'm not gonna lie i would i i'm sure walmart wondered why the game sales

skyrocketed all right yeah sudden. Right. Yeah. All right. Time for the next one. I think we're back around to me. All right. It's you, Paul. All right. Here's a good one.

Never have I ever in my entire life bought any gaming merchandise whatsoever. I'm talking clothing, collectibles, posters. I have never bought anything like that ever gaming related okay so point of clarification on this one because the trend of like funko pops and little figurines has taken off in the last few years so does that count i have one figurine and it was gifted to us by legendary Ace of Shame. I love my Jackie Wells from Cyberpunk. It is on my filing cabinet. It is my one and only piece of merchandise from gaming.

Wow. I was going to say, because I've never bought a t-shirt, a hat, a collector's edition. I've not ever bought any of that stuff. But once I was able to get my own office, my wife said, Hey, you can have this room. I'm going to make an art room. And we kind of did that. That's when I was like, Oh, I need to make this my space. And so I did buy some Funko Pops and some figurines and stuff like that. So up until about two years ago, the answer for me would have been, no, I've never done that. But I have actually bought

video game-related figurines and stuff now. Let's be real. This is me setting up Michael. I was going to say, I can literally look on the bookshelf behind Michael. Yeah, like the Horizon Zero Dawn Collectors Edition is down there. The Forbidden West Collectors Edition is down there.

Which one of my three Dallas Fuel shirts do you guys want me to wear on the next podcast? The Horizon Zero Dawn Collector's Edition is down there. The Forbidden West Collector's Edition is down there. Which one of my three Dallas Fuel shirts do you guys want me to wear on the next podcast? Because I have three Dallas Fuel shirts. That's the Overwatch League. When I moved to Dallas, I didn't want to be a Cowboys fan. I'm a football fan. And I was like, well, shoot, there's esports. There's Dallas Team Dallas Fuel. So I bought a bunch of Dallas Fuel shirts.

I got a bunch of Funko Pops, so we don't need it. I could spend a whole episode listing. I'm just trying to figure out how many thousands of dollars I have stupidly spent on this crap. Well, you're a huge fan of going to Comic-Con and things like that. Every few months, you will send us pictures of something that you bought that's autographed. I think it's really cool. It's just something that i just don't buy i like to get like if there's a if there is a um a voice actor at the con i like to get a funko pop signed by that voice actor of

the character so that's fun yeah and so i do a lot of that so i'll buy a lot of funko pops thinking well maybe maybe this guy will be at the show sometime so what's your number one most prized collectible michael out of all the stuff you have you can go outside of gaming if you want i know you have like a lot of star trek stuff also oh man that's tough i do love the the heinz ward jersey on my wall because it's actually um it's actually not a pit so okay i'll go back heinz ward is a um hall of fame wide receiver for the pittsburgh steelers for those of you that know football or don't know, that's it. Well, if you've ever seen The Dark Knight Rises, there's a scene where the field is blowing up

and it's actually Pittsburgh Steelers. It's actually Heinz Field that's blowing up and Heinz Ward is in it. He's the one guy that lives that makes it after the field blows up. So on my wall, I have an autographed Hall of Fame Heinz Ward jersey, but it's not a pittsburgh steelers jersey it's a gotham rogues jersey i love that thing yeah that's pretty cool it's

almost like he jumped out of the screen in real life and i own a piece of that batman universe which i love that's probably one of my favorites i don't know if i have a favorite but that's absolutely one of them oh how funny all right josh coming back around to you buddy it's my turn okay all right well guy this is i'm gonna give myself away a little bit here because this is one where you know maybe i i approached this game the wrong way but so never had i never have i ever had an unreasonable crush on a video game character. Go ahead, Michael. Aloy. You would divorce Samantha in a second for Aloy if you had the chance.

She's adorable. I try not to. I do a review that's coming out soon on the VR. I can't remember the name of it now. Call of the Mountain. And in VR, Aloy does show up. You don't play as Aloy. And she shows up and there's a way that aloy looks at all the npcs with just this very genuine caring heartfelt you

don't talk about if you played the game like her eyes they're very genuine she looks at me in vr with those eyes and i'm like i'm gonna mount i'm gonna to Michael cries. I cried. She's wonderful. He was talking to me. She's the savior of Brody and I love her. Uh, let me just say, I have never understood crushes on cartoon characters. Full stop. Um,

I, I think it's so funny. Like my cousin, Ryan, you and I are very different. Oh, I know. I know because you and my cousin ryan you and i are very different oh i know i know because you and my

cousin ryan will send me screenshots of professor garlic in hogwarts right i know you're listening ryan both of you are united in this and i'm like cool dude i i don't get it oh man yeah i don't i mean it's it's dumb i you know like i i don't get it either, but you know, it helps us sometimes. This is the irony of me starting the Smoke Show Award, because I don't even care. I just thought the idea of it was so funny to have a Smoke Show Award at the end of the year for most attractive character, because I honestly couldn't care less. Oh, that's weird. You know, those pixels are arranged in a very pleasing and easy-to-look-at manner.

Yeah, sure. You know who did have crushes on cartoon characters? My wife, when she was younger. Do you know who her first... This is why Nikki and I get along so well, too, Paul. Yeah, and this is why Nikki would make a very funny guest. Do you know who her first crush was? Oh oh i know this one barney rubble barney rubble from the what how old was why like like she was like 16 she was like sick it was last week no she was like six or seven and and she really liked barney rubble and then later in life she had a big

crush on chrisattan from SNL. So these things do not make me feel very good about myself because if this is the line of men that I'm following, I don't know. But yeah, so there you go. Okay, well, Michael's with me. Way to go, Michael. Yeah, I'm 100% with you.

Yeah, there may have been other reasons I had to stop playing Lost Ark. I'm just kidding, Beatrice. Beatrice, my dear. Or what was it? Nier Automata. Yeah, right. There you go. It was 2B, wasn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. There you go. All right. I think we can do one more before our break. Michael, coming around to you. Okay. Never have I ever bought a Sega Master System because the store was out of the NES and I

was too impatient to wait for the restock. Wow, that sounds really specific. What? What kind of... Hey, man, I'll tell you what. Alex Kidd was a terrible knockoff of Mario. There was Sonic, which is like your B-movie game. Sorry, Sonic fans.

I just never really thought Sonic ever competed. There was that dolphin game that the Sega had for a little while. Echo the Dolphin? Echo the Dolphin. Yeah, man. Just chock full of great. I'm so glad I got to experience those crappy games man so for anyone who doesn't know the story tell them how you got the money saved up for a console

dude my i spent an entire summer and i'm talking like school summer. So three months, three months, I spent digging a trench from our house to the street. And so this was probably a good like 50 yards. So a 50-yard trench that had to be about three feet deep so that we could run a drainage pipe from our basement to the street so that it could drain so the basement wouldn't flood. And my parents told me if I dug this trench that they would give me the money to buy a Nintendo. And I said, deal, in a heartbeat. I had no idea the extent of the child labor that was involved in this. I spent three months digging this ditch. It was absolutely the worst. I finally got it done.

It's time to go get my Nintendo. We go to, I think at the time it was Kitty City. I don't even think it was Toys R Us. We go to Kitty City, an entire empty pallet where the Nintendos are supposed to be, an entirely full pallet of Sega Master Systems right next to it.

As most kids are, I was super impatient. I was not willing to wait. I went there. I was coming home with something. So instead of waiting two days to get a Nintendo, I bought the Sega, came home with it, and I had a Sega instead. So dejected, huh? That's a good lesson in patience right there. I've learned. You know, guys, I i've learned okay okay to not buy the nintendo so i never have i ever heard of kitty city i was just i was like is it kitty like meow

oh you've never heard of kitty city no but i'm not sending my children there that does not sound safe no it sounds like i think it was lionel toys lionel Kitty City was the name. It had a kangaroo. That Lionel Play World. It was a kangaroo. I don't remember the kangaroo's name. And then it was a little baby kangaroo. And so they were like the direct competitor to Toys R Us. Back in my day, we had two toy stores.

Actually, we had three. We had KB Toys. I do remember KB Toys. They were always in the malls. Yeah. Oh, I loved KB Toys. It was Kitty City, KB Toys, and Toys R Us. stores actually we had three we had kb toys i do remember kb toys they were always in the malls yeah oh i love it was kitty city toys and toys are us those were your three toy stores that man as a kid were just absolute paradise i remember lionel play world but not lionel kitty city oh there it is i'm on google right now they had a kitty city as well and they had a play world so crazy and they filed for bankruptcy in 1991 it They were absorbed by Toys R Us, I think.

Well, it looks like they were further east. Maybe that's why you know them, Josh, because it looks like they had markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., Ohio, Florida. Do you know what's really bad? I still remember the jingle. Do you? What is it? No. Dude, it was like, at Lionel Kitty City, turn that frown.

And the kangaroo would jump up and down, upside down. And then the frown would turn into a smile. The place that makes me smile all around. At Lionel Kitty City, turn that frown, upside down. Wow. We have much better brand experts these days. Yeah, we do. Jingles were different back then.

Especially in the 90s. 90s jingles were the best, man. They were awful. So great. All right, well, we're going to take a short break, and we'll be right back with more Multiplayer Gaming Podcast. After these messages, we'll be right back. There's so many things I want to do and see,

like redoing the basement without having to do it all myself. Or doing absolutely nothing. With a spectacular waterfall view, of course. So, I'm starting here. Investing with RBC.

Josh won. Yeah, I just kicked Josh in the pants for a second. Okay, yeah, yeah. That's true. He did, yeah. Coming back around to me. I went to dig up an old traumatic memory, Michael. Sorry.

I had repressed that. Hey, you know what? Somebody told me I hit the gloves off sometimes because you guys make fun of me a lot. So I figured I'd kick it back at you this time. Kudos. Fair play, too. But I will say this. The Sega Master System had one of the best RPGs at the time that was an RPG called Fantasy Star.

And to this day, I still remember playing that game i actually had to call i had to beg my parents to give me permission to call the 1-800 number that was like a dollar a minute because i got stuck in that game this is pre-internet days and so i had to call and talk to a game counselor like you did with nintendo and actually get the clue that let me figure out where this thing was uh and then i proceeded to the game so that was the one good game they actually had those yeah it was in the like there was the video game like nintendo power magazine in the back the number was on there like get stuck call one of our experts yeah yeah the the one 900 numbers yes yeah it would cost money i did that i actually called one of those and my parents miraculously gave me permission. I did not expect that, but they were like, yeah, go ahead.

Nice. Oh, by the way, I love that Josh's trench keeps getting longer each time he tells the story. Worst that can happen is I can spill some on my $3,000 suit. Come on! The guy in the $4,000 suit is holding the elevator, but the guy doesn't make that in three months. Come on! Why don't I just take a whiz through this $5, suit come on it's 50 yards next time it's gonna be you know

legitimately it was probably only like 15 yards but you're so small i was little i i was like eight yeah you know what i mean like imagine an eight-year-old using a pickaxe and a shovel man it's a good thing i take off my toes or like hitting any any like water lines or something yeah right i love it all right coming back around to me let's see here all right never have i ever loved a movie based on a video game you know never no there's something i like that it's like all right that's all right the first resident evil movies okay name the couple top best video game movies lately people would probably say sonic sonic movies are pretty beloved it's okay there's kids love all right there's 27 resident Evil movies plus or minus I've never seen any of those

Blood Rampage there's a Blood Rampage movie the rock one I've never loved a video game movie although well it's not a video game but the new Dungeons and Dragons movie looks pretty entertaining

I'm kind of excited about that one does Free Guy count? Because I love Free Guy. No, it's not based on a video game. Ready Player One was very good. Well, that's what I was going to say. It's not based on a video game. It is just video game

based, but it's not based on a game. But that movie was really good. Have you ever read the book? No. I haven't either. No. First of all, the book is great for 80s kids because it's really nerdy for 80s kids. But the movie is very true to the book, even though none of the references are the same. I would still check out both of them. Now, Michael, didn't you love the original Super Mario Bros movie?

I was actually going to say, does love hate count? If I love hate a movie or love it so much because it's so bad it's good to make fun of in that case absolutely sign me up for super mario brothers because i watch it sometimes dude i i love the goombas if i ever need to laugh i'll just search for mario bros 1990 goomba and it's the funniest thing in the world now i will say there were a lot of tv shows that i loved like did you guys watch the super mario brothers super show i think it was called did you guys watch those back in the day koopa and his troopers are up to misbehaving to kidnap the princess mushroom land couldn't save him that's it Troopers are up to misbehaving. They kidnap the princess mushroom land. Saving, abusing, and confusing everybody he discovers.

They can't help but be hooked on the brothers. I say a hook, hook, hook, hook, hook on the brothers. Down on the brothers, the brothers, the brothers the brothers the brothers it had an intro where guys played in costume mario and luigi super stereotypical italian guys and then they would introduce the episode and then it was animated like in the mario brothers games and i loved that show there was also a really good one with uh zelda that I loved as well. So yeah, there were some very good TV shows in the 90s. And then, of course, The Last of Us, which is pretty dang awesome.

Yeah. So there's TV shows for sure. Movies, I'm still waiting for that first one. Oh, I forgot the Freddie Prinze Jr. Wing Commander was based on Wing Commander. There you go. I did like that one. Wing Commander was a phenomenal video game game but i don't remember a movie about that go watch it it's got matthew lillard and uh freddie prince jr it'll give you

an estimate of the time range they were popular together for like a year so it was 1999 yeah as i say it must have come out within a year or two of she's all that like i i would guarantee it All right, coming back around. Josh, you are up. All right. Never have I ever pirated a video game. Ooh. Ooh. Uh-oh. Oh, no. Uh-oh. High school Paul.

GameStop, Walmart, Bandit strikes again. High school Paul had a little bit of a reputation. Like, lately there's been some questions asked in our Discord, like, how can I get a pirated copy of Windows? And a little part of me chuckles because I'm thinking, oh, I remember downloading on Napster or LimeWire keycrackers. Like, I remember downloading games and you would download the keycracker, it would generate a code for you, and you would just try them until one of them would work. I definitely went through a phase in high school where I downloaded a lot of games illegally. Wow. I don't know if I got... So it was like three weeks ago, I did this for the first time. And I don't know if it was illegal or not, because...

You're not supposed to date it, Michael. You just say in the past. Well, no, because it was on a shared site because the thing is the game is not available anywhere it's called star trek a final unity it was a 1995 dos game and you can't get it anywhere and i was like i was watching a youtube video of a guy who was actually playing it and i was like man i'd like to check that game out again because i never finished it when i was a little kid just for haha let's check it out it's by a developer called spectrum holobite if you've ever heard of them um and it basically just showed where you could go just download it and so i don't know if it was i don't know if it was a pirating or if it was allowed i'm gonna say ignorance is bliss guys i didn't do it but i did do it but i

didn't do it you know what else i did at the? So my family was always relatively early to adopt technology because my dad was an engineer. So we had a PC pretty early on. I remember in third grade, they asked us to raise your hand if you have a computer and it was only half the class, stuff like that. So my dad bought a CD writer for our computer. And this was like in 99 or 2000. It's right when they first hit the market and i copied every cd i owned and sold all the originals and made so much money at the time because i probably had like 200

cds and i made a list and i brought them to school and i just told people write your name next to what you want to buy and i just sold all of them for five dollars each and made a lot of money oh my goodness paul you were paul's like a bootlegging service yeah a certain person josh knows who may or may not be one of josh's bosses i remember downloading episodes of seinfeld writing them on discs and selling them on ebay until he got cease and desist letters. What? Yeah. And he made a decent amount of money on that. Our good buddy Andy got a lot of cease and desist letters back in the day. He also sold really funny t-shirts with the Cardinals logo, but he added a tear and he would put funny comments like 500 or bust

and sold those on a website. He got an article in the arizona republic by dan bickley wrote an article about cardinals tears t-shirts and how funny they were and then of course the next day andy got a cease and desist letter from the cardinals i'm sure oh but so funny andy was always so business oriented it's hilarious yeah that's awesome all right i think we're back to you michael oh miguel he goes again um never have i ever uh posted a up until this moment right now posted a video review on a youtube channel for the multiplayer gaming podcast wait one of us has done that wait i've done that yes yeah yeah we we we you know we we say we want to focus on that video content a little bit more One of us has done that. Wait. I've done that. Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. We say we want to focus on that video content a little bit more. I don't know if anybody knows. That's a lot of work. It's a lot of work. Number one, you have to record footage. Number two, you have to actually do the review. Number three, you have to edit the tar out of that thing to make sure that what you're talking about lines up with the footage.

A lot more than you'd think, yeah. Then you got to upload it. Then you got to do descriptions and tags and all that stuff. And yeah, so go to our YouTube channel. Check out the two reviews that we have there. We might even have a third one. We will, yeah. By the time you listen to this episode, I will have posted a VR full review on i'm sorry full review on uh vr call the mountain and josh did dead space and hi-fi rush i think a few

weeks ago so hey we might be giving some more love to the youtube channel so go over there it's the multiplayer gaming podcast just like you clicked on here find it on youtube follow it we might even put the link in the description below make it easier for you i don't know josh can we do that? Then we'll do that. We definitely have the technological ability to do that. We make it up as we go along. We're going to do that for you guys. Click on it, follow the channel, subscribe, and it would really help us out. And you never know, we might post more stuff there in the near future.

Not only is it a lot of work to make video content, but you're also making yourself a little vulnerable because I was looking at all of our TikToks to see which ones have the most views. And I think it's our highest is a clip of Josh's Hi-Fi Rush. And the only comment is, I've never seen someone fail so badly at jump pads. You know what's hilarious is I was actually well aware of that. And I was like, this just makes it endearing. Nobody nails that jump the first time or the second time or the third time or the fourth time or the fifth time.

Yeah. The sixth time is the charm guys. Sixth time. You put yourself out there. You're going to get a little bit of hate. Oh, I'm for that, man.

I'm thick skinned. I like picking, picking on people is like my love language. So, Oh, very nice. Yeah. I loved that.

I laughed so hard when I saw that comment earlier today. I was oh that's great all right coming back around to me let's see here i actually had a really similar one to you michael i was gonna say i have never streamed myself playing a game on twitch or youtube and both of you guys have a history of that as well but we can skip that uh let's see never have i ever bought a game on steam and not play it i hate you i always have played at least an hour or so there is not a game on my list where i think unless it was a free game now i will quantify this by saying if a game is free and it's just like oh i should pick that up while i can that might be on my Steam list, but I didn't pay for that either. So I have only ever... Some games get more attention than others, but I've never purchased a

game and then not played at least a little bit of it. Are we just talking AAA titles here because i can start there i don't know i don't know what percentage of my steam library is games that i have or have not touched but i'm willing to bet that i have not played more games than i i have played to be honest with you not just because the humble bundle because i get my nine or twelve games a month from the humble bundle which we give a lot of those away anyways but because i just i see a game and i'm like i'm gonna want to play that in the future apparently up until like four episodes ago didn't know what a wish list was so i was just like i'm gonna buy it and check it out later oops yeah now i did kind of cheat and how i worded that because i have bought games on console and never played them so i bought a couple games on the ps4 that i bought at release fallout 4 and the last of us

part 2 and just never got around to it and that's really yeah so i i never played fallout 4 never played last of us part 2 as much as i love part 1 and now we're all loving the show at some point i'll probably pick up part 2 and play it. But yeah, both those games I bought the day they released and never even opened the package. Ended up selling them back to GameStop. I wonder if we should do a Lasso's part two, like deep dive after the show's over or before second season is on. Because I also own it and I've never played part two.

Yeah. I'm like, but apparently the show is going to, like, it's only going to be two seasons. The first one is the first game. The second one is the second game. Then the show's over. And so I kind of want to know what's going to happen before the show is going to, like, it's only going to be two seasons. The first one is the first game. The second one is the second game. Then the show's over. And so I kind of want to know what's going to happen before the show airs. So I'm going to have to play it.

Maybe if the schedule's light, maybe we can sneak it in there as a deep dive or something. Just a reminder, if you want us to play any game you want us to play, you can go legendary on MultiplayerSquad.com and we'll play any game you want. Wink, wink. Michael's the ad man today. These are all new nicknames. Baby Beard, the ad man. I brought my A game. Baby Beard brought his A game today.

There you go. His pink shirt. All right. Josh, we are back around to you. Ooh, it's my turn. Okay. Hmm. All right.

This one actually follows the rules of this game here. Never have I ever exploited a glitch in a game for profit. Meaning in the game. What in the profit? Okay. I don't mean like actual monetary profit, but like if there's a glitch in a game, like if it, you know, World of Warcraft, right? Was there a glitch where it's like, hey, you could recycle money and come up or duplicate items?

Like I know that Diablo had the whole item duplicating thing for a long time. You know, we hear about it all the time where it's like, hey, players found a glitch and they ruined the economy, right? Like Lost Ark, they found something and patched that. But, you know, so that's basically the gist of the never have I ever is have you ever exploited a glitch for your benefit? I guess I should say not profit necessarily. I think I have an EverQuest back in the day. There was a place that you used to want to go. I think it was Eastern or Western Wastes, which is where all the dragons are.

But to get there, you have to have a wizard or druid bring you to a place called Cobalt Scar. And then you have to go through the worst design level in all of video games called the Siren's Grotto. But at the very entrance to Siren's Grotto, you could glitch it where you basically crouch down, camp out of the game, go back in. If you do it three or four more times, you would load in and be on the other side of the zone. And I would do that every time because I did not want to spend an hour and a half trying to figure out how to get through the labyrinth that was Cyber-Scrato. Oh, how funny. You just brought back a terrible memory for me, Michael.

Right, that was horrible. Cyber-Scrato was horrible. Josh was rolling his eyes remembering that. Oh, my goodness, dude. Oh, my. You had to get the water-breathing spell? You'd drown. And then you'd lose your corpse because you drowned and your corpse sank into some unknown oh it's not all your money was on your corpse too because then you couldn't buy water breathing spells from anybody who was making them because all your money was on your corpse i will say now i legitimately was going to say this is something i've never done but since

michael brought that up i do actually remember camping you would have to wedge yourself in a corner of the zone and then yeah you had to log out log in log out again and maybe it would work or the third time it would work and then it would it would like warp you across to where the exit was and this was like dial up or the loading even on like satellite yeah it was back in the day it was so slow it would take you a good 20 minutes to go all the way out of everquest and get all the way back in. That's how bad going through this zone was. And you had to do that three or four times.

So it could take you an hour to glitch the game to get you on the other side of that zone. It was still better than going through Sirens Grotto. How funny. Your guys' EverQuest stories are always about how bad it was. And yet you always say it was the best game. It was. best game it was i love it uh i have definitely done tons of glitches in games oh yeah for sure uh usually it's it's for something stupid so like cyberpunk i had every trophy in the game except buying the most expensive

car and i just looked up easiest ways to make money and they're like oh there's this really easy way to duplicate items and then just sell them. And I did that and went and bought the last car. Because at that point, I had probably played the game for like 130 hours and was just kind of done at that point. The only other thing I can really think of specifically was in the very early days of World of Warcraft. Because I did play it on the day it launched. And I remember the very first winter season they introduced snowballs.

And if you threw a snowball at another character, they would fall over, and then they would just stand right back up. Well, my buddy took a flight path exactly at the same moment I chucked a snowball, so it hit him, and then he glitched out and immediately appeared at the end of his flight path. And so I started typing in chat, hey, if you want to save yourself a 12-minute flight from this city to that city, just have your friend chuck a snowball.

And immediately I got messaged by Blizzard moderators, and they threatened banning my account if I continued sharing that glitch with people. And I was like, they're not saving any money. It doesn't give them any advantage. It's just some quality of life to save time on a flight path. But apparently they did not appreciate that glitch being known. I'm actually disappointing you, Paul, because knowing what we know about Paul at this point, what I expected him to put in chat was, hey, I will teleport you across your flight path for 500 platinum pieces. Come to this flight path.

And then they get on there and you chuck a snowball at them and you teleport them. Yeah. Yeah. Basically, it was like mage portals, but they could be to any city if it was on a flight path. Yeah. I just realized you taught me about the most recent game glitch that I used, which was an Elden Ring, the Indiana Jones ball thing. I used that a few times oh yeah that's i don't consider that so much a glitch as a feature i remember playing the first dark souls and i remember there were certain places you could stand and bosses

would try to path to you but then if you stood in the right spot they'd fall down an empty stairwell and die from the fall damage. And I've done stuff like that also in Elden Ring. I remember one of the bosses, I took an elevator and they fell underneath the elevator. And then I went and looted the corpse. So stuff like that, I don't think that's a glitch. That's like a mechanic that you're abusing, not glitching. That's clever. It's just like this is not supposed to be in the game.

Right, exactly. That makes sense. If you recognize a game mechanic and you take advantage. Right. Exactly. Like that makes sense. If you're, if you're, if you recognize a game mechanic and you take advantage of that, I just call that being smart. Ooh. Ooh. Is this a glitch where we would put our graphics on the lowest setting in

pub G that way you could see people trying to hide in the bushes. That's not a glitch, man. That's smart. It's an option. Don't you love when you can make your graphics worse for a competitive advantage? Oh, I love it.

So funny. All right. Who brought up that last one? That was me. All right. So we're back to Michael. Last round? Back to Miguel.

Yeah. Yeah, I think so. We're running out of time. This one, actually, I'm surprised about. I had to look at this to make sure I was right. But never have I ever actually gotten 100 100 of the steam achievements in any game oh well i already answered that i did that with cyberpunk most recently i can tell you i don't think i've 100%ed any game ever in my entire extensive gaming lifetime i was surprised so

i've done it on playstation x many times, which is funny because I typically play more of my games on PC. But on PC, I have a lot of games where I did 100% of the in-game things like where collect all the cards and go get all the comic books. But then there's those weird ones like what was it in Hogwarts, which was use Flipendo to flip the same cow over 10 times. That's not in the game. It's a Steam achievement, and I did that, although I did it on PlayStation. But there's a few of those where I've got like 98%, and now I have to go back.

But I've never actually gotten 100% on any of them. I'm surprised you haven't, Josh, because you've played some games all the way through. I just don't stick with games that long is the issue. I mean, I almost actually almost made this one where it's like never ever ever beaten like more than 10 games because i don't know that i have like that my list of games that i've actually played to completion is very small um but i just don't and i i get it like i 100 get why people are like i want to get everything i want to say

i've done everything that i can possibly do in this game because that extends your enjoyment of the game at that point. So I get the reasoning and I do not think it's weird at all. It just doesn't fit my game personality. I have a hard enough time actually playing games to completion to play a game to completion and 100% where I've collected every collectible and I've done all of these things and I've found every object. All the weird things, yeah. Yeah, I just, I have no desire to do that.

Paul, how many games have you done 100% on? Because there's probably a few. So this is what I just pulled up. There are not a few. Cyberpunk is my only 100% achievement. My next closest is The Walking Dead dead which i would not have guessed but i played it a lot yeah the telltale game uh because you can go in steam and sort by achievement completion percentage and some of these games are preposterous like killing floor

two has over 300 achievements like some of these games are wild. Quiplash. How do I have 8 out of 10 in Quiplash? What could I possibly do in Quiplash that I haven't done already? Some of these are kind of making me laugh. Yeah, so Cyberpunk is the only one on Steam. You know what was frustrating is one of those that I did get

100% on and I did buy it through Steam was the Star Wars game. What was it called called there's a sequel coming out um the with uh cal and i fall in order yeah fall in order the achievements didn't count towards steam they only counted towards the developer even though i bought the game in steam and i was like i spent 150 hours getting literally the 100 achievement and steam shows nothing uh swinging back to quip last year real quick i did look up the achievements i'm missing and it's some garbage like write meatloaf candy and win a

battle with it that must be some kind of like inside joke with jack box okay yeah i don't know what that's about but okay i'm trying to sort now by achievements. Paul's going to have to show me how to do this later on. In Steam, mouse over your name and go. I don't know. I forget. I'll have to look later. You guys got me curious now because I wonder like,

am I above 50% on any game? You might be surprised. All right. So that was Michael's, right? Okay. So back to me, this is probably my last one here.

This is like pretty generic, but never have I ever felt like I was addicted to a game. I've never felt like I was compelled to keep playing a game like where I couldn't stop. There have been days that I've not lost track of time. Like famously one time, Joshosh you and i played like eight hours straight of satisfactory on a saturday i am not one to play long gaming sessions like that but you and i could have quit satisfactory at any time it's just that we had that whole day open and we were having fun so we didn't stop but i never felt like i was addicted to a game. Yeah, I definitely. EverQuest was what got me big time. I will say, I don't know. I've never had that since then, thankfully. I've had games that I

really enjoyed and I've played a lot, but it's not to where I feel compelled. I need to play this game. You know what I mean? Games that catch me like, you know, games that catch me off guard. They're a ton of fun to play. That doesn't mean I'm not playing them for six hours, you know, a day occasionally or something like that. But yeah, I've never had the since EverQuest where it's like,

I, I need, I need to play this game. Yeah. Remember how you would hear those stories of like some kid in China who didn't eat for four days and then passed out and died later? I feel like you always hear stuff like that. And I feel like I'm addicted to other things, but not so much gaming.

I had a hard time coming off of Hogwarts. I really wanted 100% that. Every day, I was literally sitting there and I'm like, okay, I've got 30 minutes between these next two work calls. Do I have any work I can do in 30 minutes? I don't. Okay, but I have a quest I can do in 30 minutes. I'm going to go load up real fast. I would do that.

I was really addicted to that game. And then also, of course, Elite Dangerous. Let's be honest. One of the greatest games ever made, so I played a lot of that. Is it one of the best games? I actually initially wrote down in my notes to introduce michael never have i ever been able to enjoy elite dangerous it's michael

and then i went with the the nicer approach i mean you guys have you guys have given some shade on that game i'm sure there's more to come so if there's one opportunity i'm sure there's another one around the corner you did get me curious about my Steam achievements, so not to derail this a little bit, but Subnautica Below Zero is my highest one with 12 out of 13 achievements. Oh, that's close. There you go. And then Rocket League, not surprisingly, is my second with

75 out of 88. But now that makes me wonder, what the heck have I not done in Rocket League? It has to be extra modes or something like that. Or some weird get lucky because you bounce the ball like 10 times whilst doing a flipendo and i don't know if that's a thing but um my i looked at mine too my my one that i have the most of is hellblade send with sacrifice which the only achievement that i don't have is beat the game in regular mode i only played it in

vr and so i got all the achievements so i have to play the game all the way through again a hundred percent i just don't want to do that that's a lot of ironically enough ironically enough my second highest with 249 hours on record and i never knew this is seven days to die i never talked about this game i played it with a couple of my buddies my buddy ryan and i played it all the time when i was in texas and i didn't think i played that much of it and i've got 35 of 43 achievements we floated that as a possible deep dive a lot back in the day and just never did it it's a lot of fun yeah i've never played it all right uh i totally lost track where are we at who's going i don't know does anyone have any good ones left

if you do jump in i don't wait okay how about this one never have i ever stayed up all night playing games until sunrise no i've never done that uh really no i was still awake from the night before playing everquest on this uh sept, 2001, my buddy Steven lived with me. It was like two years after high school. My buddy Steven lived with me and we played EverQuest all night. And my mom comes by and she's like, kids, kids, boys, are you awake? And we're like, do we say yes? Because we got to work today. We're in college. We got to go to school. We're like, yeah, mom. And she's like, come out here. Come out here and watch the news. So sure enough, that's why I remember the events of that day so vividly is

because i was still awake from having just about gone to bed at 6 30 in the morning when all that stuff went down and it was like so everyone's like where were you i'm like i was watching tv for like four hours straight because i was still awake from the night before yeah my brother and i when i was younger would stay up occasionally just all. We'd find some game that we both loved. And next thing you know, it was like getting light outside. And then, you know, EverQuest, you know, corpse runs. Never like voluntarily. It's not like I was playing out of fun, but it was more like I'm up out of obligation, you know, at that point.

I have to get my body back. I just realized I find a way to talk about Steven on almost every episode. Steven is my Steam Deck buddy that I've talked about oh there you go we go way back yeah i've stayed up all night several times but it's always hanging out with friends whether it was a sleepover or something like that i have stayed up late playing games but i don't know that it's ever been past two maybe 2 30 in the middle of the night now that being said i do remember staying up until the sun came up when i was finishing the show the wire i had the discs from blockbuster and i remember finishing the series finale at like 5 45 and the sun had already started to come up but never with

games i know what we're doing for our next bonus round. We're going to do an all-nighter, and we're going to talk about how it went. Yeah, I'll make it till like 1 o'clock at the most. Ironically, I think Josh is the one who goes to bed earliest of the three of us. Paul and I kind of sometimes go between like 11 and 1 is our normal bedtime. Yeah, we're more of the night owls where we might. Yeah, for sure. But I'm also up at like 6 a.m., whereas you guys are probably not. That's true.

Yeah. When's my first work call? 9.30? I'll set my alarm for 9.28. Yeah. I'm kidding. No, it's not. If I don't get up, my kids will get me up at like 6.30.

Oh, nice. Any honorable mentions or anything you guys want to talk about or did we cover the majority of stuff i had some ones that weren't as good like i've never read a book related to games i've never bought a strategy guide which don't exist anymore but they did back in the day uh oh man i owned i still own some strategies i have two of them um one of them is i've never rage quit a game permanently yeah i did rage quit mario kart with my wife one time because i hate the blue shell um and then also um oh here's one from what i thought i got wrong i've never bought someone's mmo account because it had a high level character

i did do that um 250 i spent on a level 55 wizard never quest because that takes like a year to do and I wanted another character and I wanted to be able to duel box because I had multiple computers. Also never have I ever peed at my desk because I was in an MMO raid that I couldn't leave or take a break from. Oh I've definitely not done that. I've never done that. No I knew a guy

who used to be our raid leader though and he That's just AFK. Well the problem was our guild leader was like, dude, and I won't use his name. I know it's a character name, but he was like, dude, seriously, we take a 10-minute break between every attempt on a boss because he used to drink a lot of beer and beer goes through you real fast. And it was like, dude, you either got to stop drinking beer on the raids or stop taking breaks. Sure enough, this guy stopped taking breaks for like a month we're like dude how did you do it and he's like just peeing into the jug next to me all right now now maybe this is tmi i've never i've never done this during games but recently

we did have a home renovation project and our house was filled with contractors we only have two bathrooms and they're both down the same hallway they had it blocked off for like eight hours one day and i went as long as i could but we also had people outside the house and i did have an old circle k cup and i might have used that out of necessity and i remember my wife later made because she drove to my in-laws house and use their bathroom. And then later she said something like, so what exactly have you done in this office? Because I know you haven't gone anywhere.

And I just said, I plead the fifth and left it at that. I just, I just voluntarily gone out back. Like, Oh yeah. I don't think that's a big deal. No. My wife's like, what are you doing? I'm like, uh, just checking out the sky my mom yeah right yeah i remember because you know things are a lot looser back in the 80s right i remember my mom would always just open the car door and just

tell me to pee on the street yeah like just keep your back to the rest of the parking lot and because she would have me do that a lot when i was like three four and at one point i was five and she was putting away groceries and turned and i was just peeing in the middle of the parking lot and everyone could see. And then that's when she had to explain like, no, it has to be with the door where people don't see you. Yeah. Oh, wow. I don't I don't think you see kids doing that these days anymore. Probably not outside of a grocery store.

All right. Well, guys, never have i ever wanted to stop recording an episode but i think we're out of time so i think we're done yeah never have i ever pooped my pants before but i'm pretty sure i might if we don't stop this one so i'll see you guys later happy gaming everybody we'll see you next time all All right. See everybody.
