Welcome back to some offense intended. I am Jeremy Robinson.
Speaker 2:I am Mike Mac the riders guild is.
Speaker 1:The strike is over.
Speaker 2:Well, that's good news.
Speaker 1:It ended like sometime last week ish, we'll get to work?
Speaker 2:Well, I need some shit to watch like late September.
Speaker 1:So they agreed tentatively and they're voting to ratify it in early October. So it's not gonna be like an immediate pickup on everything, but they can at least start working on stuff. Yeah, again.
Speaker 2:They're gonna vote on an early October. There's not much earlier than right now.
Speaker 1:We have that. That article was written.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I didn't didn't really send any details, but it was, I think, three days or four days after the movie studios leaked the contract that they were negotiating with so that they could like try to Almost blackmail them into it of, like everybody, oh, this says it's a great fucking deal Like, why don't you guys accept this? Yeah so that's. I think it might have changed once or twice after that, because you need negotiations often like it'll change wildly in a day.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh, I know, I've seen it.
Speaker 1:It's like one of the when I was working at the factory in Vegas, I Think they did. They said they did like four entire contract changes in a week. Wow, I'm like there's no way that you Read over, debated, came back and did this. There's no way you did four in a week for in a week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, contracts, you usually have a lot to them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean that, like you got a book, I think it was small and like notepad sized.
Speaker 2:But it's not probably like. I promise, sign it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it might have been like here's a cliff's notes of what's changing. Yeah but a lot of that, a lot of that union was weird, like normally, from what I understand of them. Like, say, you have the electricians Union. Not all of them are gonna be one company, but there's a lot of companies that can be in that union. Oh yeah so the president of the union might be at one company, vice president somewhere else, and then Just like that.
Speaker 2:I think it would be nice if some of these contracts on these could be like the WWE contract signings, because usually they end up with furniture to be enthroned and people getting hit. So it's usually entertaining.
Speaker 1:They could put that shit on TV but the factor I was at in Vegas we hadn't because we made titanium, but it was the steelworkers union, which technically doesn't matter. But the taxi drivers were also in the steelworkers union because that was the only union available for them at the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah but our president, vice president and all the board members were all employed at the company I worked at, which is kind of. I guess it had to be because we were the only like titanium company that did that. But I figured there would be an overarching Steelworkers Union Governing board. Whenever the fuck you want to call them there was. There wasn't, I was like I'm not sure if it was the only union you could have done that.
Speaker 2:It was strange. Well, speaking of strikes, have you heard much about the auto union.
Speaker 1:What's going on with them? Having caught, it kept up, I didn't, I saw, I think last week I read something about Biden was supposed to go.
Speaker 2:Is it the picket line or some shit? Probably. Taking that, all right, I'm gonna go to bed now.
Speaker 1:Okay, guys, like one of the last times that he went to, like five or six years ago, somebody was like why are you like asking him about shit he did when he was vice president and he snapped I don't fucking work for you and I don't fucking. You're not who I'm fucking trying to take care of. I just snapped on the union.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you do work for them.
Speaker 1:And me and everybody else in the country.
Speaker 2:That's. That's how. That's how the system works.
Speaker 1:How the government works.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1:So that's no, it was really strange, but no, I haven't, I haven't read anything more into it.
Speaker 2:I almost said democracy, but we're a republic.
Speaker 1:We're an oligarchy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but. And we're in our paperwork. It says Republic.
Speaker 1:But it's not really even that Like if people don't want to admit it's an oligarchy. There's a couple other things that it is closer to than a republic. Yeah so.
Speaker 2:You know Republic, though, and, like I mentioned you when I got here, that I'm really enjoying the Stars star Wars so movie, I mean a book. So I'm gonna say too Wow, I can't get words out.
Speaker 1:Star Trek, star Wars, both Painting in the sand.
Speaker 2:No, this, this, this trilogy of Star Wars, is really good right now. Yeah, I'm on the second book. I'm about halfway through it.
Speaker 1:That's Ron trilogy. Yeah, love it. Air to the Empire. I think is the first one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, air to the Empire's first one, a dark force rising as a second one.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:And then I think the third one is I can't think of what it is right now.
Speaker 1:Something about the rock I have like it's about the run I have like probably 200 Star Wars books. Yeah, that's, I've read. Not all of them, a lot of them. Yeah, that's a really good I was.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was thinking you probably already hit it. It's 20 years old now, but yeah, it's, I'm enjoying it and he's a lot. I didn't realize how much of a tactician or he really is. Absolutely yeah, so I'm appreciating it.
Speaker 1:Not to go along with that storyline, but some of the favorite books that I've read. The young Jedi Knight series is Amazing. It's about a Honin, leia's kids, and like in the twins trying to bring up the Jedi Academy again. So I think Chewie has a kid and Luke's trying to teach them and like they keep getting into like shenanigans, but they keep like ending up helping and saving certain things and they're they're super quick reads because it's young adult fiction, but they're really fucking good.
Speaker 2:I'll have to talk to you about that after I get done with the stories, the stories of the bounty hunters. Yeah, I remember I was gonna ask you about that, cuz I remember you tell me something like stories from most Espa.
Speaker 1:There's three of the books that are really fucking good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'll have to talk to you about that one too. Once I get now, I'm gonna get the trilogy done. No, it won't take me long. I, like you said, I'm halfway through and I just started last week.
Speaker 1:I don't think they're long books either.
Speaker 2:I'm enjoying. The first one was like 16 hours, isn't that?
Speaker 1:I mean that's it seems like a lot saying it that way, but I know it's something. Reading it out loud and not Reading it. Yeah well, it does take long.
Speaker 2:It sounds like a lot, but it's also that I'll take out of time, you know, especially like when I'm at work. Yeah you know, I can get through a couple books pretty quick. Yeah, that's cool. Although I did. I trained somebody this week, so I I don't normally listen to books while I'm training people.
Speaker 1:The other one that was really good is. I Think it was when, I don't remember. I'll have to look at the name of it, but it's one quite gone. Is training OB one, like in the lead up to episode one.
Speaker 2:See, I would like to, that's really fun.
Speaker 1:I would like to see more of that. Really good.
Speaker 2:I would like I've always thought that I'd be good, I'd be a good character to have a show or a series or a movie about Him, and in Mace, mace would be great. I'd like to see more of.
Speaker 1:Mace. There's a couple of books on Mace Windu. I bought, I think, three of them. I think I started reading one like ten years ago and never really.
Speaker 2:I got through that book in the whole time. Every time Mace comes up I'm gonna be picture and Sam Jackson. That's all there is to it. Yeah. I mean, that's him.
Speaker 1:That's Mace Darth Maul. The Darth Maul books were pretty good too.
Speaker 2:I saw something about Darth Maul and I thought I might look into that.
Speaker 1:That's. I think there's three or four of those two, and they're one of them's a very large book, nice. So, like there's, there's a big story behind him.
Speaker 2:It's not a bad thing. It's a long one, because oh no. I mean, like there was a Stephen King book I listened to. That was really long and that took a while. It wasn't even a stand. The stand would have been.
Speaker 1:That's. It's wild, how many books he's written.
Speaker 2:Oh I know, it's crazy one fucking person one person yeah.
Speaker 1:I said that's written so fucking many books.
Speaker 2:I remember one day I was saying that to my mom and she's like well, it's not that many. I'm like, are you shitting me?
Speaker 1:Yeah, like it's a, it's a very wild amount of books.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean the last one I. The last one I did was the Institute. That was a good one even King.
Speaker 1:How many books? At least 71. Google says at least 71 at least don't even know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because he actually has. Somebody uses another name on him and I mean when did?
Speaker 1:when was he born?
Speaker 2:I don't even know.
Speaker 1:He's still alive. Yes, yes, stephen King age he's 76 years old. So if he wrote one book every year, starting at five, that's at least 71. So he's writing Multiple books a year, yeah it's crazy and they're not short, no, and a lot of them are very long. They're very in-depth, like Dead Zone. Yeah, dead Zone was. I don't know about the book, but the series and the movie, but they were fucking great.
Speaker 2:Well, um, there was. Was there one movie, or did they do two movies on that one?
Speaker 1:I don't remember. I know they did the series with.
Speaker 2:I remember when the series was.
Speaker 1:Michael Hall. Something, anthony Michael Hall.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Michael, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Um, it's always weird to try to remember the people with the three names, because it's like you normally get one of them Right? Yeah, that doesn't sound right, is it this? Nope, that's the other guy.
Speaker 2:It was weird to see him in that because, yeah, I. It's like he disappeared for a long time and then Dead Zone comes on. There he is. Mmm, that was good he's using a lot of movies in the 80s.
Speaker 1:I can't remember. I remember seeing him in a couple things, but I don't like sweet 16 or I don't think I saw it, and there was a Breakfast club. He was in that. Yeah. There's a lot of people in that super young. Oh yeah, that's. I just watched Wind talkers today.
Speaker 2:I see that one.
Speaker 1:It's been forever. I've always wanted to watch it and it's. There's a lot of fucking Mark Ruffalo's in it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Mark Ruffalo's in. There's a lot of people in that a lot of people. Yeah, that's got a good cast. The thing that I noticed is that I don't know if you paid attention, but Nicholas Cage killed a lot of Japanese in that movie. Yeah, I mean a lot of. Yes, if those were confirmed kills, he'd be getting some kind of fucking metal.
Speaker 1:Well, he got the Silver Star.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I mean I just. It just reminds me of cotton from Um King of the Hill. Oh yeah, just random me, I killed 50 men.
Speaker 1:I saw something pop up again about that today of King of the Hill is. I guess there's been a debate in Japan whether American animated series are better dubbed or subbed. Oh Shit, just like we have this debate here on Japanese animated and there was some kid that was like I prefer, I prefer dubbed or no, I prefer subbed because a lot gets lost in translation to Japanese. Like it's, you understand the jokes better, like reading it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see, I hear that the other way too. But the only thing is is like sometimes, like For instance dragon balls II, when I'm watching, that if there's a fight on the screen, I Don't want to be paying attention to the words below. I want to be watching the fight.
Speaker 2:Yeah or like I was actually watching a movie that's hasn't, that's not anime, and I was doing something on my phone at the same time as I was watching and it got to a part where he had subtitles and I'm like, um, no, this is not gonna work for me because I need to do this on my phone. I Want to be able to hear it.
Speaker 1:No, watch the movie, Don't be on your phone.
Speaker 2:Well no, I had to take care of something yesterday. It was more important than watching a extinct dinosaur.
Speaker 1:Then pause it.
Speaker 2:Oh, I ended up stopping it we all go back to it. Yeah, I mean, where's dinosaur gonna go to extinct? Yeah, it'll still be there when I get back.
Speaker 1:Maybe yeah.
Speaker 2:You know like it's good I.
Speaker 1:Just watched the Winchester's this week. It's really good.
Speaker 2:I'm not seeing that.
Speaker 1:Based on supernatural. It's a story on like Sam and Dean's dad and like how we meet the mom and them monster hunting. It's really fucking good. There's only one season. They how they left it. They could either like this is done or they can just go on a whole nother like supernatural spree, so I'm not sure which way they're gonna take it. I bet it's gonna be decided soon Super natural, probably enjoy it with the writers actually writing shit again, they might, might, start back up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hopefully they Don't get lazy. No, start writing crap.
Speaker 1:Or it doesn't go like, because it used to be like 20, 25 episodes per season and then the one writer strike.
Speaker 2:And now we're gonna have teen.
Speaker 1:Are we gonna go down to six now?
Speaker 2:We have two, two episodes. Here's your season. Hope you like it.
Speaker 1:Just fucking one movie at a time, that's the season, yeah.
Speaker 2:Like the Simpsons, halloween episode will be a two-parter. Have a One part and then you have to wait for the next year and that'll be the end of the season.
Speaker 1:That would be awful.
Speaker 2:Yes, that would be Basically, since that's one of the episodes that I look forward to the most with the Simpsons is a Halloween episode every year.
Speaker 1:They have to be almost running out of shit to do.
Speaker 2:You would think that I thought that with the couch gag I thought they'd run out of shit on that. And they still find shit to do with the couch gag. But the couch gag when they Beginning credits always starts out. Notice couple things when they do the long, they have a long version and a short version. Okay, the long version. You see Bart Simpson writing something on chalkboard right every.
Speaker 2:And then they get to the house, everybody runs in and they go sit on the couch. It's called the couch gag, and they do something different with the couch every episode. Well, not every episode, but they have a lot of different couch gags.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah like American dad Roger doing something different every time. He's just pops in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, but I like some like I was watching with today and they had the chalkboard and In the couch, like I said, the couch gag. Some of them I wanted. They ended up having to chase their couch around Everywhere trying to get it back. I think they even went into space. Oh yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 1:It's originality.
Speaker 2:I like it. They're the same ones who wrote, you know, puturama.
Speaker 1:I heard the new season isn't that great.
Speaker 2:It isn't, it's good I.
Speaker 1:Haven't watched it.
Speaker 2:I would love to be able to say oh, it's amazing, but no.
Speaker 1:Because I also haven't seen the new season, or Rick and Morty, because I heard that one without a new season Coming this month. Well, like the newest season that was already out yeah, I guess wasn't the same writers, or they did it without them, they did with a team and it's just not the same.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not, but the new, hopefully the new season that comes out this month will be really good.
Speaker 1:I mean, hopefully it's better. I don't know if the whole writer's coming up.
Speaker 2:It's coming up really soon.
Speaker 1:Because I guess the original two writers. There was a massive amount of Stuff going on with them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess one of them got fired.
Speaker 1:That for good reason, from what I heard, I don't know like one of them was like had a lot of. Let me look it up.
Speaker 2:I do have a couple things to talk about as well. Um, I don't know if you heard about Sony. Sony got hacked again.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, they'd gotten hacked back in 2011.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, and everybody's credit cards and shit by anonymous. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because they fucked with anonymous and anonymous walked back. But now it's a new group. See, let me double check with the name. Of this was Controversy ransom V, dot VC are the ones that did this time. That's what I everybody's reporting. Somebody was saying, oh shit, this could be really bad. Now another one's going. Oh, they didn't get that much information, so who knows? I know, last time they got it got hacked, they gave me a full year of Identity theft protection on them.
Speaker 1:That's the least they can fucking do. I don't understand why it's like everybody knows it's a year, so like if you hack it and get everybody's fucking information, wait a year, in six months, and then do stuff. Yeah, that seems pretty cutting dry, but yeah. So Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland, has been accused of sexual assault and direct messaging underage girls in a new report that comes six months after domestic violence charges against them were dismissed.
Speaker 2:I knew about the domestic violence charges.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's not good, yeah no, and it was charged with domestic battery and false imprisonment.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's bad. I just sound bad. Yeah, so I don't know yeah. Did you see those new tiny tunes? No, on Hulu.
Speaker 1:I might have seen a commercial for it.
Speaker 2:No good.
Speaker 1:I mean every time they try to redo old cartoons like DuckTales was horrible.
Speaker 2:Animaniacs was alright, I liked it, but tiny tunes like Babs and Buster I can't even they talk and I can't even get past the voices. I barely watched it.
Speaker 1:So the animation style and the voices are like that's. I mean, that's the two things that go into it, but for the most part, I don't know what's wrong with the animation style that we grew up with. I think it was fucking amazing.
Speaker 2:Because it actually looked like what it was supposed to look like this new hyper realistic, like the DuckTales style. That DuckTales is just trash.
Speaker 1:It doesn't have to be 3D. We know it's animated, Just have it be animated.
Speaker 2:It doesn't have to be real world, nice and crisp it doesn't have to be that sociating stuff, or that. I just hate.
Speaker 1:And then the voices, like it's like they try to. They try to imitate way too much the original and it just goes completely fucking overboard and just sounds awful.
Speaker 2:Well, I saw a little bit of the new DuckTales and it was like they changed, like who the people were, what their relation and all that. Well, that's the other part they have to.
Speaker 1:They have to pander to 2023 society. So they have to change the dynamic of fucking everything to make everyone feel included. They're fucking ducks.
Speaker 2:That's what I was just going to say you don't have to make.
Speaker 1:People that are dogs aren't going to be included. It doesn't fuck what Like. Why do you have to change shit? I don't understand.
Speaker 2:I don't even know, I can't even get through it, but I was very disappointed in TinyTunes. I saw it on Hulu. It was on there, so I thought I'm going to watch a little of this and the thing is that executive producer Steven Spielberg again.
Speaker 1:But of course, just because he puts a stamp on it.
Speaker 2:I was just going to say just because he's an executive producer doesn't mean he even knows what's going on in any possible way. Yeah. He might not have even seen an episode. Yeah, it's likely yeah, but yeah, I just wanted to get that out there.
Speaker 1:Jedi apprentice is what the series is called. It's up to episode one with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.
Speaker 2:I have to look into that. I like Qui-Gon, even though he was only there for a short time. Yeah. So I told you about that new ice cream I bought, which I haven't eaten yet, still in my freezer, but Dr Bombay is what it's called. Right. Well, I found out who owns the company.
Speaker 1:Jeff Bezos Nope.
Speaker 2:That wouldn't make sense. But no Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 1:Huh.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's interesting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I saw YouTube videos. Somebody was looking at all the different flavors. I guess there's a waffle flavor. I'm intrigued.
Speaker 1:I think ice cream tastes like waffles.
Speaker 2:He's got a chunk of waffle in maple syrup.
Speaker 1:Put your mic down, you won't have to lean up into it.
Speaker 2:I was trying to avoid making all that noise.
Speaker 1:Oh, you can do that. Or like the little swivelly part, yeah, that's fine. That way you don't have to try to reach it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but yeah, the flavor I got was s'mores. I love s'mores.
Speaker 1:S'mores can be great.
Speaker 2:I want s'mores, s'mores.
Speaker 1:The pop tarts.
Speaker 2:They were all right, they weren't great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then there's I feel like there's a lot more s'mores flavored stuff.
Speaker 2:Ben and Jerry's had a s'mores. That was okay. The s'mores Oreos.
Speaker 1:Fuck yeah, that one was pretty good. I don't think I've had any s'mores ice cream.
Speaker 2:I have. I've had a few. Does that remind me? Speaking of Oreos, I saw pumpkin spice Oreos.
Speaker 1:They're okay. They're not the best, they're not the right Like the pumpkin spice Twinkies.
Speaker 2:But speaking of pumpkin spice, I'm just disappointing. I was at Winco today and they had a 12 pack of pumpkin beers. There were like four different pumpkin beers in it.
Speaker 1:Was it Elysian? Yes, those are pretty good.
Speaker 2:Oh well, you already had them Cross out off the list.
Speaker 1:Oh man, if you haven't had them, we can still do that yeah.
Speaker 2:I haven't had them. I thought about getting it, but I figured I was going to wait till.
Speaker 1:I've had a lot of different kinds.
Speaker 2:Yeah, me too. A lot, I'll have to get quite a few. Yeah, I for a while there I was picking them up from these discounts.
Speaker 1:The Voodoo Ranger pumpkin or October is not, it's just beer. Yeah, don't get that one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've had quite a few. There was one with the Asus Bays type card. Looked on it.
Speaker 1:I think that's the Voodoo Ranger.
Speaker 2:Yeah. It's E. But yeah, like I said, I've had quite a few. Not all of them are really good. We know what the best one is.
Speaker 1:There's some of them. That's one of the Elysian one's rivals, wasatch yeah.
Speaker 2:But I haven't had it. I haven't really had any of their beers, so I think I've had maybe one or two of theirs.
Speaker 1:Then a week or two, we'll have to get both of them and try them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I said, I considered getting it, but I decided to wait until after Disneyland. Yeah. Which, yeah, I'm going to Disneyland.
Speaker 1:And Mike's going to the happiest place on earth.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I better fucking be happy. I saw there's a Star Wars ride and I'm even more excited now. Holy shit.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, they have the whole Star Wars experience.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, I saw the thing where they were walking right up to a Millennium Falcon.
Speaker 1:You didn't know about that.
Speaker 2:No, when the fuck have you been Sleeping?
Speaker 1:I guess I don't know, it's been a thing for like two years yeah that's fine, but I've never been, so I don't know, I've never been either, but I know about it.
Speaker 2:I probably heard something about it, but I didn't see the Millennium Falcon like I did yeah you can go in the cockpit. If I can get myself a picture of me sitting in the Millennium Falcon, that's going to be fucking awesome. Yeah. Yeah, or I mean an X-Wing.
Speaker 1:I don't remember what all they have.
Speaker 2:But when I was growing up we had some Star Wars toys. I had a TIE fighter. My brother had the Millennium Falcon. My TIE fighter was pretty big. And then we had the little action figures. I had Han Solo, because Han Solo was cool. Yeah, my brother had Luke. I had R2-D2. And I had a stuffed it was much bigger than the action figures Chewbacca.
Speaker 1:That'd be cool. It was like yeah, because it was an older toy, one of the ones that's like. It looks like him, but if it compared to today's stuffed animals, it's like what is that? You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's just like if you're playing with the action figures and then you have Chewbacca walking up, it's like yeah, yeah. It's a big difference. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, han Solo was always my favorite character.
Speaker 1:He was definitely one of my favorites. I don't know that I had a favorite favorite.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean Princess Leia and the Gold Pacini. That was always one of my favorite things. Yeah. Yeah, I remember when I saw that movie I liked that part Still do.
Speaker 1:Boba Fett was definitely top yeah.
Speaker 2:Boba Fett was.
Speaker 1:And he was definitely my favorite, and then Han was a close second.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember my neighbor had the Boba Fett action figure and I was always jealous Because Boba Fett just looked cool, he had the armor, had the jet pack.
Speaker 1:So that was it's all the things a kid would want.
Speaker 1:That was originally what the Stormtroopers were supposed to wear was the Boba Fett armor. Yeah, they had it mocked up and unpainted. So originally they were doing that and they're like, well, it doesn't make sense to have it be this. So they just had it to the side and they were talking about something like well, we could have like just one of the bounty hunters in the back wearing this. So he put it on and he was like I think we can do it a little better, like if we paint it and color it. And then he became such a big thing and like the oh, people loved it and the viewings of like what do you think? And they're like who's that guy? And like became such a fucking big thing.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:They wrote more into the later movies.
Speaker 2:Yeah, people loved them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that's Boba Fett was originally not supposed to be there and was originally supposed to be white armor. Yeah, so there was a lot that happened.
Speaker 2:I remember I think it was Battlefield. It might have been, it was one of the Star Wars games. There was a couple, but they have the Stormtroopers with that jet pack and they're flying around here fighting with them Battlefront, and I was like shooting them back because they started flying off. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's one of my favorite games growing up was Bounty Hunter on the PS2. Yeah, there was Jango Fett and like you, go collect bounties and fucking super clunky gameplay Cause like I've tried to play it again since.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I tried playing it recently, it's a little weird, for sure it was on the Switch. It was a very clunky. I was like I don't know. Cause that's they gave me a free two day trial or some shit like that.
Speaker 1:That, and Knights of the Old Republic.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so good. Oh, that was a good one.
Speaker 1:I still haven't even started more than like 15 minutes of playing like the one that's right before Jedi Survivor. Yeah, I don't remember, it was like $4 on Steam, so I bought it. I liked that game, but I just haven't. It's good, I haven't really done shit with it.
Speaker 2:It's fun and a lot of parts are really cool. And there's some parts that actually we've talked about it before, like when you're playing a game and you fall from a high distance. There's a lot of edge of your seat moments in that game. It's fucking cool Cause you're there's towards the beginning, there's a whole thing on the train. It's just crazy Cause you're jumping from thing to thing and you're on the side of the train at one point. The thing.
Speaker 1:It's just I think I'm thinking of a different game.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I'm talking about the one that's right before Survivor, which came out recently.
Speaker 1:I don't remember. I'll have to look. I know Survivor came out recently. I didn't get that one yet.
Speaker 2:It had some glitches. It seemed like they pushed it out the door. They wanted to get it out, which doesn't make sense because there was a big gap in between them.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, but I mean it's people need money. So that's what they do with fucking Call of Duty. How many glitches and shit, and they drop one every year. And then here you go, and almost every year it's worse than the one before.
Speaker 2:There's a modern Warfare 3 coming up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like, how do you not fix the same shit? That's been an issue every fucking year.
Speaker 2:Well, I look at Cyberpunk. When that came out so many problems they ended up dropping the price so much because of all the problems. There's a new update every week. Same thing happened to the definitive edition of the Grand Theft Auto games. I've had my thoughts and mentions on that one on here a few times.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's like the Master Chief Collection. You don't have to redo the fucking games, but they did so to brighten up the graphics and do whatever. So if you play Halo CE the original Halo on the Master Chief Collection, it's basically just like the Halo Reach Engine or the Halo 4 Engine, reskinned with Halo CE. It's not the original gameplay, it's not the original game mechanics. It doesn't feel the same. Just put the same fucking game on there. It will take up less space because of the game engine.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I mean they could clean it up and make that one look better, but you know it wouldn't be the same game. Yeah. Because that's kind of the purpose of people wanting to play Halo again is because that's what got them started playing the series in the first place.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it's the same as Gears.
Speaker 2:I loved playing Halo.
Speaker 1:In Gears of War they changed the game mechanics so much. I mean I think it has to when they start doing different engines, yeah. But the game mechanics of Gears of War 1 were fucking amazing, yeah. And then it started getting just more and more Call of Duty-like and you can't do the same like Gears mechanics of wall slides and just doing everything, yeah. So it stopped feeling like Gears of War, like Gears of War 3.
Speaker 2:And then with the definitive addition for Grand Theft Auto, I can understand why they changed some of the button configurations, because the newer button configurations are so much better than the old ones. So I appreciate that.
Speaker 1:That's one of my biggest issues with the Master Chief Collection is you can change the settings for each game and the buttons for each game, and then there's a button that says Apply to all games. That doesn't work. If you like, configure the gamepad buttons. Yeah.
Speaker 1:You can change the sensitivity, like the generic settings, but if you change, like the and the trigger to swap, you have to go into each game setting and change that in each game setting. Because you can like, you can play multiplayer and say I want to play three, odst, reach or multiplayer on these different whatever, and then it'll just spin through. So this game you'll play Halo 3. Next game it'll be four, next game it'll be reach. So without those being the same, you're playing them back to back. It's awful to like they changed again. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I said, the buttons like being able to hit. If you get used to playing like Grand Theft Auto 5 and suddenly you're playing the definitive addition and the button to accelerate your car is a completely different button. Yep, so they changed it so that the triggers are the to drive the car, Like I had Grand Theft Auto 3 on my PlayStation 5, but then I got the definitive on my Xbox. Right. And the buttons are completely different.
Speaker 1:That's one of the control settings for driving the Warthog is. Left stick is acceleration and right stick steers. Yeah, but so does left stick. It was awful. Yeah. Like because right stick steered, I think, the front and left stick steered the back because the Warthog can do like multi steering, but it's. It was awful trying to get the feel of it on sticks instead of pull the trigger and you go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I always thought that'd be much better if you could do that in that game.
Speaker 1:That's one of the settings for sure, because that's how I always played. It was never driving with the sticks. Like that's the Fortnite default to. My nephew plays with it. I'm like, what are you doing? Like, turn this on, it's so much easier.
Speaker 2:I would like to drive a Warthog That'd be cool. And I'd also like to be the guy standing in the back shooting the big gun on a Warthog. Yeah, endless ammo yeah.
Speaker 2:I saw something where some guy made something like that and he was driving it out and he had his whole halo armor and he was shooting the thing. I also saw another thing I was watching just recently on YouTube. This guy apparently is a Dragon Ball Z fan and in Dragon Ball Z, goku most of the time actually all the time is wearing weighted clothes. When he's working out, well, he's just out doing his regular thing, his clothes is weighted. So this guy went to go through a 24 hour day with all this extra weight on him and he did a lot of the workout that Goku does like. He did the push ups, he did the sit ups, he did some sparring, he did the sparring with it on and with that off. The guy that he was fighting was an actual fighter, so he either way didn't help.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, but it was interesting. I remember once I actually walked around with the whole day with ankle weights on. I didn't run or anything, just my regular every day Just goes. Yeah, just for the fuck of it. I was a little kid.
Speaker 2:How'd that I was in the house. I put them on.
Speaker 1:You hated it. You liked it.
Speaker 2:It was fine. I think I did it a few days, but like everything I did, sometimes I'd be running, sometimes I'd be. You know, I was a kid, so I was active. Sometimes I was not active, you know, I might have even played softball with them on.
Speaker 1:I've been thinking about looking for a softball team to join or something like something to do that's team, team oriented, fucking something.
Speaker 2:I once was on a softball league it was Texas rural softball, which is actually really cool. Yeah, you're looking at me like you've never heard of Texas rural softball.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because it's not a normal thing to hear of.
Speaker 2:Well, the thing is, you get one pitch, that's it. But the person who's pitching it to you to hit is somebody on your team. There's somebody standing next to you from the other team to play defense. But let's say you're the pitcher and I'm a bad. You pitch I. If I don't, if I don't swing, I'm out. If I miss, I'm out.
Speaker 1:That's interesting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I played third base.
Speaker 1:Weird. So whose team is the catcher on?
Speaker 2:The catcher is on the other team Because they have to play defense.
Speaker 1:So there's the catcher and somebody else standing at the plate.
Speaker 2:There's not at the plate. You have your catcher and your batter, and then you have a pitcher, because you said there's somebody standing next to the batter to play defense. There's somebody next to the pitcher, so the pitcher, you would throw it to the pitcher across the plate for me to hit. Of course you're going to try to put a nice ball there so I hit it. You're not going to want to try to strike me out because we're on the same team.
Speaker 1:That's interesting. So what are the rules on blocking or what? So if you pitch it and he's standing on your right and I hit it to your left and you just sit there and like hold him so that he can't jump out and get it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can't, you're not allowed to do that. But like that was one of the first time it happened, the ball got hit and was right towards me and I picked it up and I went to turn to throw the person out from third base to first base and the pitcher for the other team was in between me and there, so I had to step to the left and then release the pitch. I didn't have to pitch, but the throw to the first to try to get the guy out. It was close but I didn't get him because of that step I had to take. So next time it happened I just got up and just fucking threw.
Speaker 2:I'm like either you're going to get out of the way or you're going to get hit. That's what's going to happen at this point.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:He got out of the way. You have to throw it pretty hard to get from third to first, especially if you're trying to throw somebody out, and I know it's called a softball, but it's not really all that soft.
Speaker 1:They're not that soft now.
Speaker 2:I also played flag football at the time too.
Speaker 1:Flag football can be a lot of fun yeah.
Speaker 2:I went one day when we were going to be in a group. We were going to community college and we got to get on a Saturday. We were just playing football and another group came up and they wanted to play football with us. So we played against them and this guy, I pissed him off all day long, I covered him all day and he didn't catch a pass the entire day.
Speaker 2:He was not going to catch a pass. He tried pushing me off the ball. He tried jamming me at the line. You could tell he was getting mad because he was hitting me harder each time and I just went back to the line smiling. And the worst part for him is he doesn't know this. But I had sprained my ankle that afternoon too. I was not at 100%. My foot and ankle were fucking hurt.
Speaker 1:Yeah, playing anything on a sprained ankle hurts.
Speaker 2:We weren't playing flag football, we were playing tackle. Yeah but yeah, I covered him all day. He was not getting a ball, I didn't even look his way because I just I was on the island by myself and I covered everything. It was a lot of fun, though.
Speaker 1:Nice. It's been a long time since I played football.
Speaker 2:One of the people that went. He always talked about how beautiful a player he was and how he got this scholarship offer, how he could run a 4-3. Like, if he could run a 4-3, you're not going to community college right now. They will find a way to get your ass in the backfield.
Speaker 1:I've always been curious to see what I would run, because I never was timed, never tried to run certain times or whatever 40 yards in 4.3 seconds.
Speaker 2:that's fast, I mean most. You're going to get passed a lot of defensive players pretty quick. And, like I said, they're going to figure out a way to get your grades up. That's just packed. I mean, there are players in the NFL who can't run that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's players in the NFL that are fucking massive and they're there because they're walls and they don't run.
Speaker 2:With the running back position you kind of want to run. It's in the name. There's a guy who plays for Idaho or something. I guess he's like 6'10" or some stupid shit. He's really super tall and this guy can run. He is fast. I started watching the video and they're comparing him to a player that used to play for Kansas City named Tyree Kill.
Speaker 1:I think I might have seen that video.
Speaker 2:I'm like, yeah, this is all great, but until I actually see him signed with the Chiefs, I don't really care. I mean, if he went to New Jersey, nebraska or something it's in Idaho, maybe I'd be more interested. Yeah, I played, like I said, for Kansas City, but yeah, all these people putting these videos out there, then it's going to make it harder to get him if he goes up pro, because everybody's going to know who he is. I don't want that.
Speaker 1:That's one of the last times, most memorable times, when I was playing football. I might have told the story on here. I don't remember. In 12th grade, when I was going to college, the girlfriend I had at the time, her best friend, was already out in the Charleston Ranch area in.
Speaker 1:Vegas, so massive front yard. So we're playing football just look around tackle, but not trying to kill people. And we have the ball pikes it and I'm running out. He throws it like great catch. I see this guy just straight-lining it for me. I can definitely outrun him I could not. So he hits me like dead on, just like full tackle.
Speaker 1:They have this massive wooden old school wagon that the wheels were like five feet tall. He hits me right next to it. I hit the wagon with my head and then fall and get back up Like damn, that was a good hit. Like you, okay? I'm like you're still on the ground, are you okay? Like help him get up, you know. Like turn around and look like I broke the wagon with my fucking head and then got up faster than the guy that hit me. Like that's no. I'm like hey, sorry about your wagon. I'm like no, I'm glad you're okay. And then it was like four or five years later I was driving past to go hang out with somebody else. Like they never fixed it. That wagon's still fucking broken.
Speaker 2:Damn. That was what we in one of the neighborhoods I grew up in. We either play in the neighbor's yard. When you're playing in the yard, it was tackle football, although there was a in the middle of the yard. There was like a sidewalk going up to the house and that was like the one place that tackling was off limits. That was like yeah.
Speaker 2:So, but there was also we'd play in the street. We were playing in the street. It was it was touch football. And then there was another yard. We were playing football in late at night one night.
Speaker 2:Now, keep in mind I'm in elementary school at the time and this guy he watched bigger than me because he was in high school and we're playing and he goes down and he's like he's getting up and he's like nobody touched me, I'm not down. So of course I walk over while he's getting up and I put my hand on his shoulder and I shove him back down and I go. Well, he goes. What? Why did you push? I'm like, first of all, I'm thinking of myself. Are you kidding me? I'm in fucking third grade, you're in like 10th or 11th, I don't even know. I can't remember. I show him now. He actually went down and he's like what's going on? Like well, you're down now and I went back to the level. Yeah, but we used to have one playing football. A lot of people played basketball in my backyard. My backyard was pretty much the gathering place with the whole neighborhood. Nice.
Speaker 2:And we had the basketball hoop. It was a lot of room there. We had a big tree. That was sad. When that one got cut down it was huge. There was a big storm. I remember I was out of town with family visiting my grandmother in Iowa. I remember hearing about this big storm and the tree just no, it's bad Maple tree.
Speaker 1:Sometimes trees fall.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, big parts of it fell so they had to cut the rest of it down. Yeah, I used to try to climb that tree.
Speaker 1:I used to really like climbing trees a lot.
Speaker 2:I had to add those seeds, the helicopter seeds. Yeah, I had to twirl down. Those were awesome.
Speaker 1:I love those things, throw them all the time and get like a handful of them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, in other words the milk weeds we used over those, and you can blow them and then.
Speaker 1:I don't know that. Those sounds familiar.
Speaker 2:It's almost like a dandelion only. Much better.
Speaker 1:Massive ones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, these big things and they just float and they kind of grow up by ends of a wall.
Speaker 1:I don't know that. I've seen them grow like that, but I think I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:Man, they look never big, never cool.
Speaker 1:I don't think I've seen anybody climb trees in the last like eight years. Like I'm not all often at the park but anytime that I've driven past, like if you run, like if you rarely see people playing, kids playing, they're not around the trees, they're not like we climb trees all the fucking time growing up.
Speaker 2:That's what I saw when we climb a tree. I was playing frisbee golf with them and my tree got my my, my, my desk got stuck in the tree.
Speaker 1:Tree got stuck in the desk.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was weird. I probably shouldn't have been throwing the tree, I should have been throwing the disc. But yeah, he was climbing up and I was like no, just because it was a cheap desk. I was like no, just leave it. But we'd been drinking.
Speaker 1:Let's carry a baseball. With this, you can knock them out.
Speaker 2:And he uh, yeah, I did After a while. I always had a baseball in my bag. I had a cooler bag that would carry, keep the beer cold and kept the baseball in it. I found the baseball at the park because I had baseball park baseball fields there and they had the full size ones. I had the kids size ones. But uh, yeah, he, um, he was climbing up a palm tree and uh, those things that are on the palm trees towards the top.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it does hurt.
Speaker 2:Those get sharp, those will catch you A lot. I was like just leave it and I would see we didn't get the disc back and we'd go by that tree regularly and be oh, there's my disc still there at the very top, just jammed in there.
Speaker 1:Uh, before I left Vegas to move up to Reno, um, I trimmed a couple of friends like backyards, just whatever trees and this net, a lot of them were palm trees and so I'd trim everything and like, pile it, and then, okay, I'm going to go take it to the back of my truck now and a lot of those palm trees, like the palm fronds that have the those spikes you know spikes there's.
Speaker 1:there's a little bit of. It's not poison, but it's like a defense mechanism. Yeah, substance on the thorn, so like. Even if you get like lightly prepped with it, you'll bruise and swell a little bit. Yeah, and from carrying those like I had thick gloves on but I didn't have like sleeves.
Speaker 2:You knew you'd have protected.
Speaker 1:So it looked like I was a fucking junkie for about two or three weeks, cause there was like pricks all around my fucking inter elbow on both arms that just started bruising and swelling up nasty.
Speaker 2:Really like um, Jeremy, is there something we need to talk about?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I started wearing hoodies and long sleeves for like a week or two until they started going away. I was like this looks fucking awful.
Speaker 2:People like chuck between his toes, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, we want to bench it there, because I don't pick up palm leaves with my toes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Like I said so, did anybody come up to you and be like is there something we need to talk about?
Speaker 1:Maybe one of my friends, but he knew cause. I think it was his yard jokingly like that's, what were you doing back there?
Speaker 2:I didn't pay you to do that. I paid you to get the trees out. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, fun times.
Speaker 2:I'm sure everybody's had some experience with some thorns or something that they did not enjoy.
Speaker 1:I don't know about everybody. I've had some. Don't do anything.
Speaker 2:I've had some bad experiences with some thorns. I don't know if you've ever come into contact with a lemon tree, but they have thorns, big fucking thorns.
Speaker 1:The lemon trees that I've interacted with. I don't remember thorns, Because my neighbor in Vegas had these massive sweet lemons.
Speaker 2:We had these big lemons, ponderosa lemons, and there was these thorns as it was growing. They were not pleasant. Reason for lemon.
Speaker 1:I don't remember those, because I did yard work for these two ladies and they were always like I'm not making this shit up.
Speaker 2:I believe you this one.
Speaker 1:I don't remember it on, I was like doing yard work. Now, anytime you want, you can come get lemons, because they were fucking massive and they were delicious to eat just by themselves.
Speaker 2:It might have been a different type of lemon tree. Some of those would hurt.
Speaker 1:I would believe it.
Speaker 2:We had the almond tree in the front yard. No thorns there. We did have somebody stop one day and was like can we pick some almonds off your tree?
Speaker 1:I don't know that. I know what almonds look like growing.
Speaker 2:Have you ever seen them with their shell on?
Speaker 1:them? I think so.
Speaker 2:They have the shell on them, but then there's an outercase on that that as they get ripe they pop open and you have that little shell. You can buy them shelled and you have to use a nutcracker to open them.
Speaker 1:Okay, so it's kind of like walnuts.
Speaker 2:Kind of just not as big as a walnut.
Speaker 1:Okay, I don't think I've seen.
Speaker 2:We let them go ahead and have some of them because there was a lot.
Speaker 1:That's like growing up in Georgia. It was like there's pecan orchards fucking everywhere. Yeah, I've heard of it's just go around Walmart bag, stop on the side of the road and go collect a Walmart bag and go home. Nobody cares.
Speaker 2:I would think that would be more in Texas, being that the tree of Texas is the pecan tree.
Speaker 1:I don't know that.
Speaker 2:I did.
Speaker 1:Oh, clearly. Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I actually just had some moments today After I had lunch, before I went to Wynco. I ended up going to Baskin Robbins because I haven't been in a long time and I love ice cream, which I over did it I ate.
Speaker 1:so much food today. I had 31 flavors.
Speaker 2:I shut up, but the person behind the counter I don't know what happened in the translation, because I was like what's this banana Royale? Because I want to know what all is involved in it.
Speaker 1:Banana Royale.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what it said on the thing. So then she goes to describe it to me. Then she's describing to me the brownie. I'm like I kind of really want the banana, but I was talking about the banana, I'll take that. And then when I'm leaving, I'm eating, I'm like, yeah, this is definitely the brownie which it was good. So I at this time I let the mistake go.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to email anybody until tomorrow and you're like you know what? Fuck them.
Speaker 2:I was really good, though, but by the time I was done, I was so full and I saw somebody from work walking in. I was walking out of Wynco and they were walking in. I had to walk back. I got to get zero shopping carts in there, wow. Oh, and, by the way, remember when we were talking about it, I told you about how they have those long lines. Yeah, yeah, long fucking lines. And no, they did not call more cashiers. They had more lines not being used than they had lines being used.
Speaker 1:Normally that's. That's one of the reasons I like going to Wynco at like 2am.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I needed some things, so I went I like this door. I mean other than you and your bathroom trips. Oh God.
Speaker 1:That was just that where it's going.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's where it's going.
Speaker 1:Still haven't gone to the bathroom in a Wynco.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you probably don't want to. I don't know why all the racists hang out in that fucking bathroom. I don't know what it is. I read that stuff and I'm like you got to be kidding me. Right that shit at your own home.
Speaker 1:They probably do yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they probably. As I said that I was thinking it probably do that. Yeah, oh, that guy I've told you about. Before he walks up and down the street He'll go by, pass the apartment. Oh yeah, Multiple times a day Just yelling. He's all over the road. One day he's calling so he's saying we don't need any more whores, Get out of here. Yesterday he was throwing out the N word. Today he was using the derogatory term towards homosexuals.
Speaker 1:See, he's diversifying his hate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's all over. He's an equal opportunity hater. I'm not a bigot, I hate everybody. Equally.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Actually I think he might hate. I hear him do the word toward gay people a little more often than the others, so I think he might be a little more hateful towards that. He's like get out of here. It's like he's trying to intimidate somebody out of the neighborhood.
Speaker 1:Maybe he's trying to lower rent.
Speaker 2:And then at one point yeah, maybe At one point I hear him he's yelling some woman's name. I don't know who that is. Hey, triana, I did it. They're moving. It's just so much hate it's early in the morning a lot of times Like he'll go one way. Hear him yelling around. It'll be before 7 am, I'll be before 8 am. They'll be walking back the other way, still before 8 am yelling the same kind of shit and you hear him for a long time.
Speaker 1:Start calling him Rooster.
Speaker 2:You can tell he's not right out in front of the building. You can tell he's still yelling it as he's getting down the street. Yeah. Jesus.
Speaker 1:Jesus.
Speaker 2:I can't always make out what he's saying. Sometimes I pause my TV just to try to catch what he's saying, because I'm curious. You know, whenever I hear people out there yelling at each other and shit, I always want to be involved. Yeah, well, I'm not really involved. I like to walk, I like to watch from a distance. Yeah, tool has a song about that.
Speaker 1:I've never been a big tool fan.
Speaker 2:Oh, man, there's so many people.
Speaker 1:That's like, that's a cult following. I've never understood it. I mean, it's the same thing of like rage and what's the other system of a down.
Speaker 2:I like system of the down.
Speaker 1:Don't like them, can't stand them.
Speaker 2:I'm not really a raging and some scene fan, but just move down, I like it's like I like tool, Like I like tool.
Speaker 2:But one thing about them is their songs are really long. A lot of them are so like when I'm at work and I listen to music um no, it's not really work music that I want to listen to, so a lot of times I'll skip it. And there's a couple that they have just insanely great intros and I'll listen for a while, but sometimes I'm just like this is just too long, I need to.
Speaker 1:There might be a couple that I like. I can't think of any tool songs off the top of my head, but I can. I can think of system and rage songs that it's like. I know it's its own style, but it sounds like they started a band in their mom's garage when they were like 15 and they never improved Instrument quality, sound quality, they just stayed the same like everything, and it just seems weird and I see.
Speaker 2:But my inner me has a. He has one of the one band. He's got tool. Me is the main guy from tool, okay, but he's got that. He's got um Pussifer and he's got a perfect circle and he's he's what makes the band. But also they have a hell of a drummer. I mean they're. I'd like to see them live. That'd be one band I'd really like to see live.
Speaker 1:I've definitely heard of the other two. I think I've heard a perfect circle more than Pussifer.
Speaker 2:Pussifer has a song that was huge for a while. It was getting a lot of air playing. It had what's her face? I can't remember the name of the actor. She used to be a model. She was in Resident Evil.
Speaker 1:Uh Milla Jovovich.
Speaker 2:Yeah, jovovich yeah. She sang on that. It's called the Mission. I remember when it came out me and a friend of mine we were like fuck, I want to get this song, but it's not on anything. We were like I mean, you would have to go to some you know less than reputable places to be able to download it. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because for a while it was not on Apple Music. I remember we got to work one day and he was like it's on there, it's on Apple Music. I was like, fuck yeah, I was so happy.
Speaker 1:Have you ever downloaded anything on LimeWire?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I did, but that wasn't one of them, that wasn't. Limewire was kind of going out by that time, so was Kaza and all the others.
Speaker 1:I mean, Napster was building up when LimeWire was going out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, but I got it on. I had an iPhone at the time, so I got it on there. I even spent the full. I think it was $1.99,. I said a $99.
Speaker 1:I remember when like the old iTunes. I think they actually finally did it different now, but it used to be if you had any music on your computer MP3, wav, like WMA.
Speaker 2:It would immediately go to Apple.
Speaker 1:It would. Itunes would absorb it, convert it to the whatever the fuck they use, and you could never get it back. So what me and a couple of friends did when we finally, when we got an iPod we found a couple iPods at the mall like just sitting next to a trash can, so took them, fixed them and we got a laptop that we would use only for those yeah, like it was a communal music portal on this laptop and then use that for all of our iPods so that, like my laptop, I'd keep all my music because I'd had a Zoom and a bunch of other shit. I want my music to stay my music and not Apple to fucking absorb it all. And just this is mine now. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because that was frustrating as fuck.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but Zoom, that really took off. That's going real strong. I just remember my brother telling me, because I told him I was going to get the iPod touch At that point I hadn't owned a good MP3 player. So he's like no, don't do that, get the Zoom. I'm like, no, I want the screen. I want to be able to watch movies on it. I want to be able to listen to music. I want all this.
Speaker 1:You could watch movies on them. That just wasn't great.
Speaker 2:Well, they didn't have anything like the iPod touch.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:The touch at the time. That was fucking awesome.
Speaker 1:No, there was only. Well, I guess there was three, because they did the. There's like the Zoom light and that was the skinny one. But the Zoom 30, the original one I got because I got the Halo Edition and then the Zoom 80 I got because it was the Gears of War II Edition. I still have those. I'm about to list them on eBay Because the Gears of War I the newest one surprise, the battery is dead, but the old one still works perfect.
Speaker 2:Nice. So, Because that one works.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I might try it because the batteries replacement batteries like $8. But I just have to find the tools and have Josh replace it. Yeah, those are going for because I still have the boxes and everything because it's me and collectible shit. I think they're going for like two or $300 a piece for each For the Halo one and for the Gears. Jesus Christ, okay.
Speaker 2:How is that going to work out?
Speaker 1:like that. Yeah, that's, I might, because my alarm clock is a Zoom eye home, like how they had the Apple the iPod dock alarm clocks Mine's that, but it's Zoom Eye home, made one for Zoom Nice, so I might sell that with one of them.
Speaker 2:They probably sold like five of them.
Speaker 1:I did have to get it online because no stores fucking had it.
Speaker 2:One of my absolute favorite things that I ever saw on Family Guy Lois's father having a party at his big mansion and of course Bill Gates is there. He goes to Bill Gates and says, hey, I think you could help me load some music on my Zoom. And Bill Gates is all excited. He's like I'm just kidding, I got an iPod like everybody else.
Speaker 1:I remember that a little bit. Well, I really have to pee. We're not an hour, so yeah. I'm going to wrap up.
