Hey guys, just before this podcast starts, I want to say a few things. In this one, we do talk about politics some here and there. So, if you don't want to listen to that, because I totally understand that's not everyone's piece of cake, the boring discussion starts here and ends here. It's on the screen, so you can skip that stuff completely. Also, there will not be a podcast episode next Thursday, so apologies for that. But we will be back the next week, so keep your eye out for that. Sorry, gonna be out of the country, you know, fun stuff, but hope

you guys enjoy, love you so much. Hello! Hello! Welcome to the Super Mega Podcast. Episode 46. We're creepin' close to 50, baby. Creep? Creep? Creeper? AHHHHH!

I sound like an idiot because I feel like I start every podcast with being like, Man! And I say the number and I'm like, wow, such a big number. We're almost to 50. And then we hit the 50s like, wow, 50 podcasts? Well, I just spoiled what you're going to say for the 50th. No, I got to write something new now. Thanks a lot. Okay.

I got to come up with something new for the 50th one. So I was just going to go, wow, 50 podcasts. And that was it. I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 5 Dead Man Tell No Tales or whatever you saw that yeah I didn't even know that was out I saw that last night and I'm really mad because I sat through the whole thing and I hated it it was that bad it's not like an awful film but I hate that I did not like it let me put it this way sorry spoiler alert there's a part in the movie where about, I'd say, 10 horses, they rip a building from its foundation and then drag said building through a town. And by that point, which was early in the film, I was like, ah.

That's how building foundations work ryan like the basically it's like they're trying to in the movie they're trying to steal a safe and this is like no spoilers has nothing to do with the plot in fact most of the movie has nothing to do with its own plot anyways but they accidentally steal the whole building instead of the safe yeah bring it back to the boss and he's like ah no he stole the like, no, he stole the building! And it's just a bunch of horses running around with a giant building through the city. It doesn't make sense. And I'm thinking, what the fuck is this? Like, it's ridiculous and people are gonna be like, oh, you're nitpicking a movie

that has krakens and giant monsters. It's like, well, yes, because there has to be a certain amount of believability to make the fantastical fantastic. I love the thought of that being a real thing, because if that was a real thing, then that would be a thing that would happen. People would steal buildings.

Instead of a terrorist attack, they'd steal a building. And drag it through a town. A whole town. Terrorizing everybody. They'd take left and right, go down Main Street with a fucking building. With a school dragging behind them,

behind like a Camaro. There's so much about this movie that just teed me off I didn't know the movie was out so I guess that says something about it I didn't know there was a new Pirates of the Caribbean out well go figure there I was either gonna go see that or Baywatch and I chose this

why didn't you want to see Baywatch Ryan I do it looks funny I read a review that said it was bad not because it actually legitimately looks funny but because I have to see every fucking movie that comes out because I torture myself. Well, that means that every time a new Madea movie, come on, every time a new Madea movie comes out, we're going to go see it. Yeah.

We have to. Even though the last one was torture. It wasn't funny bad. It was just bad. It was just bad. It was awful. Oh, man. And also, like, I was going to spoil the ending of the Madea movie, but you know,

I think that's one movie I'm not going to spoil on the podcast because I want the viewers to go watch that and go into it blind and have a good experience. What you could do is tie a bunch of horses to their house and then rip it from its foundation. Tyler

Perry's house. And then drive it around the cul-de-sac a few times. I want to steal Tyler Perry's house. On horseback. And he's going to dress up as a Madea costume. They could have done that in a Madea movie. They could have. And it would have been just as terrible as before.

It wouldn't have been any better. Maybe a little better. Because then at least they put in some effort, just a little bit of effort. And there'd be horses. So that's cool. I'm sorry. I still can't get over the fact. I just remember I was sitting in the movie theater and it was midway through this scene and I'm just like, I'm contemplating it.

And I just got it down to its bare bones of horses pull building off foundation and drag it through town. And I'm just sitting there and i'm like i it's so early in the movie and it just did this i don't know if i like my brain can calm down in time for it to be like a good movie if i can get back into it because for the whole movie i was just thinking about that one scene i was like that was ridiculous couldn't get it out yeah seriously like three fours through the movie, during the big climactic sword fight scenes and shit, where there's a giant statue fighting Jack Sparrow, and he's jumping on cannons, these big epic things.

And all of a sudden, like, I just go back and I'm like, yeah. But then they did tie a bunch of horses to a building and rip it from its foundation and drag it through town, so. Wouldn't that just rip, like, that would just break the walls of the building and the whole thing would crumble no speaking of buildings crumbling you know what i did last night i sat down and i watched uh like a 12 minute compilation of realist like hyper realistic physics simulations where this guy went in blender or some program and uh built a bunch of towers of dominoes in the program and then would throw metal balls at them in the program and show it in ultra slow motion and it was a hot nickel balls they were not hot nickel balls but they were they were

they were they were nickel balls they look like they're made out of nickel okay they were pretty heavy but they would be these ultra slow motion collapsing towers. Incredible. And then there were ones where it was water and in slow motion, these water simulations. They were so cool. And I watched it for about 20 minutes, had a great time. And that's the end of my story. It's 12 minutes long.

One of them was. Did he have a simulation where he tied a bunch of horses? Well, that's never letting that go. That's what made me think of it because when I was watching that, it made me think about the way buildings would collapse or crumble and stuff. And that made me think, like, if horses are pulling a building, there's no way

it's going to stay intact. No, of course not. Of course not. It's not even just that. Ten horses aren't going to be able to pull a whole fucking building. I was watching that and I'm like, should the Mythbusters do this one? I'm like, no, the Mythbusters shouldn't do this one because it's stupid right off the bat. You think they're going to obviously go, see, they did Empire of the Caribbean.

So we pulled together ten horses. You know, we'll give them credit. We got 15 horses and tied them to this house. And if they could pull it off its foundation, we'll consider this myth tested. I don't think, even if they could pull it, I don't think that they'd be able to break it from its foundation. Of course not. Think about how strong a building is. That's cement. You also got to think of from its foundation. Of course not. Think about how strong a building is to, like, that's cement.

You also gotta think of the time period. Maybe they just made buildings more mobile back then. That's true. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe there's a science of how buildings were made back then, and it was a common thing for them to be drug around town. Uh-huh. Like it's a fucking red wagon. Well, they did

that because then they could move buildings around easier. If they don't like where this building is, or you want to move, you don't have to move out of your house. You can just move your whole house. You just go, take it out, and then take another one out, and then switch the spots. Go, how cool that would be. You could just be like, hey, God, I want to put my house over

here, and he'd be like, alright, and reach his hand down and stick it somewhere else. You know how amazing it would be if at the office you could pull up a simulation of your room. You see all the trash and stuff in there, and then you see all the furniture, and you could, like, click on it. It's like a click adventure game, and you drag the trash into a trash can and it just goes away. You can choose to make your bed, and a little meter comes up, and it's like, time till bed is made. And it's like 30 seconds and shit.

That would be so cool. It would be so helpful helpful you could just clean your room in real life but i think cleaning is the only way i actually sit down for a long period of time and listen to a bunch of music really other than like when i'm like uh just in the mood for music, I guess. But that's like the only activity that I do regularly where I'll listen to a bunch of music because if I worked out, I'd be able to listen to music a lot more. And I do it in my car, but I'm talking about like just like a hobby or activity where you just sit down and listen to music. I've gotten, I am always in the mood for music. Music has got to be one of my favorite things.

I could listen to music any time of the day. I was like, I'll be in the mood for music. I'll like put something on shuffle and the wrong song comes on. And I'm like, not in the mood. Don't feel like listening anymore. Just kill the mood. Yeah, I'm just like, that's not what I wanted to listen to. Have we ever talked about like our

our favorite music stuff on our podcast uh we've probably mentioned it a few times what what's your favorite can can you think of your top three favorite musical artists not really but i just have a bunch of songs and artists that i see that's the thing for me it's like it's always hard for me to pick my like top three because it it changes a lot because I like an artist or a song a lot. But it's not going to it won't stay my favorite for years. I think it's delegated to your emotional state at the time. Yeah. Music is an emotional experience.

Music. What is it? I've read this this thing it does something to your brain it makes certain connections like for instance music helps people study because things become easier to remember if you put it into a song and stuff like that if you have a beat

if you have a rhythm or something it makes things a little more easier to grasp and you can put it together since you can bring up a tune and it's like a little like it's like coming up with an acronym for something i guess like oh yeah well i when i when i was in like middle school i'd study for tests by uh i'd like try to come up i'd make my own song and then put the um whatever i was studying like into the song and then I'd be sitting there at the test and I'd try to sing it back and I'd be like I don't remember

what I came up with and I just wasted my time making a stupid song last night that I don't even remember now or I'd remember the wrong thing and then write down the wrong thing

because of my song I was the kid that just sat there with his book open at home and so when his like my parents would be like are you studying? yeah

but I'd just be staring at the pages I wouldn't be reading it I'd just have the book open so it looked like I Yeah. But I'd just be staring at the pages. I wouldn't be reading it. I just have the book open. So it looked like I was studying. And I just, okay. It's like, I'd rather, I'd rather go through the effort of just not doing anything and being bored rather than study.

Yeah. Cause I was a horrible student. I hate studying. I don't think who likes studying. Studying is one of the worst things. Well, you don't like studying for school, but you do like studying because when you're interested in something, you're technically studying all the time, whether it be a video game or a language. Yeah. I like studying.

I don't like studying things that are not interesting. And that's it. It just feels like a waste of time. If something's not interesting and it also I'm never going to use it in life. If I'm studying it just to pass a test, it's just jumping through hoops. If we were born a generation back, we would be fucked because because school is very important. It still is to this day. But like we've gotten to a point where it's not as necessary for for a certain sect of people, I guess.

And we happen to be lucky enough to be within that sect of people. Cause I, cause in my head, my first thing is if this doesn't work out, I'm going back to school and getting a degree because I'd have to find a job of some kind. Um, so,

well, I, I, I hate the, I think education is super important. I just hate the whole idea that which it's changing as time goes on which I'm glad but I hate the idea that if you don't

have a degree it's going to be very hard for you to A. find a job and B. in most people's eyes be taken seriously well it's easier for businesses to look at a degree because they're not going to hold like a competition to see who does the job the best.

That's true. So it's just an easier, quicker way. And even job interviews don't do really anything for telling whether or not someone is good for a job. So you really have it up to a degree because the degree just alludes to prior information and work based on the surrounding knowledge that you need for the job. It says, hey, look, I paid this much money and went to school. School is way too much money, though. It's way too fucking expensive. Because isn't it like a, isn't the university system like a private business?

Most of it, most stuff is, yeah. Because like community college i think like free community college which yeah as of right now at this point in history there's not a lot of that in america that'd be cool if every state made that in my opinion i think that if they made like free community college a thing that would be awesome because then it doesn't matter your financial state it doesn't matter you don't have to save up all this money or you know bankrupt all of your shit or go into debt for student loans um but if you want to further your education you can pay more and go to a more like private thing but i i love the idea of like a like free public college for everyone a lot of

countries have that is a community college the same as a technical college no i don't what's the difference between the technical college i think a technical college i think a technical college is more like i could be wrong but i think it's a more hands-on focused on a certain career type of college because when you when you think of college it's mainly like you go you do the four years you do your prereqs you do this and that and that and i think a technical college is more based on a specific field like if you're going to go into um but it's not like that college is delegated to a specific field right like midlands technical college yeah it's just a wide range of a bunch of shit well people can get there like uh tech college isn't bad there's there's that whole stigma that

like technical college or community college is like look down upon more than like normal college but it's like who cares you're going to get an education do what you want to do it's looked down upon because like a lot of those kind of white collar you know uh businesses run by frat brothers you know they they rely on good names good named universities and so when you come to a technical college you're usually going to be thrown you know under the stack full of papers of people who went to universities like legitimate i don't want to say legitimate universities but you know but yeah it holds more you know merit yeah like just because of the name but like to everyone listening who is stuck in crippling financial debt from student loans i'm ryan and i send you our condolences we will shed a tear for

you we got lucky we dropped out became youtubers dude high five fuck yeah um people ask all the time like they've i've gotten like in the past like on snapchat and shit and sometimes on instagram i'll get the question of um i'm thinking of dropping out of school to spend some time and try to become a youtuber a filmmaker or whatever usually it's a youtuber i don't know why that's the first thing i i didn't want to become a youtuber i wanted to just make stuff then and then youtube works for that and yeah very well and then it kind of molded into becoming a youtuber through you know the whole let's play medium super mega what we're doing is definitely more on the youtube field than

automatically going i want to make stuff you know what i mean yeah so play medium super mega, what we're doing is definitely more on the YouTube field than automatically going. I want to make stuff. You know what I mean? Yeah. So, um, they, they ask like, what should I do? And I'm like, I'd say it worked for me. I got lucky, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll work for you. The chances of it working for you is very like slim.

Well, and I don't want to, and I don't want to be like, no, don't, don't try for your dreams, but there is a But there is a risk. And luckily for me, the risk didn't turn out to be anything consequential as of yet. So I'm crossing my fingers. Just wait until next week. Yeah. Woo! Knock on wood, because you know how the fucking universe works.

Where's the wood? I don't like wood. Okay. I knocked on wood, so nothing bad's going to happen. Where's the wood? I don't like wood. Okay. I knocked on wood. So nothing bad. It was a nice Oak. Yeah, it was nice.

Very nice. Nice Oak. Yeah. But my advice for people that want to drop out of college to become a YouTuber, take like a year off. I would say don't do that, but well,

okay, hold on. You can take like a year off and see, just try it. Test the waters. Cause taking a year, a lot of people take a year off just to take a break from high school and between high school and college.

If you want to take a year off or if you are in college and you don't want to, like if you want to focus on you or you want to take a year off and do this or that, then I say go for it. Because, you know, you should do what makes you happy and what you want to do. But YouTube is kind of a sinking ship. And also it's very hard to make it in YouTube, especially right now if you're starting from zero. I think it's definitely on the decline. Oh, 100%. So that's why it's really hard. I guess we just kind of got lucky.

Yeah. Met the right people type of thing. And we had content in the show for ourselves. There's a little bit of it that it's not just all luck. Oh, yeah. There's a little bit of something. I'd like to put a lot more stuff out of course and i know we keep saying that and we keep mentioning that we mention that it's like this ongoing fucking loop it's like this hallway that never ends that's the it's if i if i had a dream there would be a door at the end

of this hallway it would say exported sketch comedy video and it would keep going and we're running towards it and it's just slowly getting farther away it's like no! no! because we got vacations because I'm leaving tomorrow aren't you? yeah I'm leaving tomorrow and then I'm leaving again in July at some point I like

doing YouTube though I really do as much as I can you know point out the negativities of this or that I, I do genuinely enjoy doing this and I love making this podcast. Oh yeah. Like I love, I love being, being able to do this, but a part of me also is envious of those who took school seriously. Cause I definitely didn't. I don't think for the most part, I didn't, I just didn't pay it any mind. It didn't interest me, and I just had that mentality.

That could have ruined my life if I didn't have this. You know? Yeah. If I didn't, as we said, get lucky and have this happen, my attitude towards school could have just fucked me up. And I'm really lucky and I realize that in that case that I'm one of the people that not only got lucky and didn't have to go to college but I'm one of the people that dropped out of college and

ended up getting lucky without having that higher educational degree this is weird but I don't know if this is for most people or for maybe some people but I became exponentially more genuinely fascinated and interested in stuff like history and stuff like that after i stopped going to school i i get that and like i i am but i still because i personally didn't pay that much attention i'm

i'm really fucking stupid when it comes to book smart shit yeah as I said I think the only thing I ever was really super interested in was like film classes you know like the same that stuff I liked I liked language stuff yeah what was what was that one like when I was in like my physics class and shit I was like I hate this

I because I get like yes it's useful to a lot of people but I know myself and I know that I'm not going to do anything in my life that uses this because that's not what I'm passionate about and that's not the type of field I want to enter. So I feel like it's just busy work. And that's what – I guess that's what sucks about like a general education is everybody has to learn the same shit, which can sometimes – Well, the same shit at the same pace right which some people are slower than others some people are faster than others and then you know i i feel like general education even extends i feel like it goes down paths that

are too specific for a general education like a lot of the shit i learned in physics or chemistry like well i actually really liked chemistry but still a lot of the shit is like when are any of us going to use this especially like I told you math gets to a certain point like that yeah where there gets to a point where I think after that then there needs to be there were choices of which math you could take but I think it shouldn't

be mandatory to take calculus but like if you get up to calculus I think you're good in terms of just knowledge on mathematics like i i think my biggest gripe about school looking back is there was a lot of math i learned that would help me today in in the real world but they don't teach it to you in a real world situation if that makes sense

they don't teach you this math in a way where I can actually apply it Jeremy had five and a half apples what's the square root of the tree get it root tree hey give me a high five for that one dude you know but it's like you learn all this shit but they don't really teach you how it's going to come into play in your life,

so you don't remember it. I just don't get why schools don't teach you stuff about taxes and buying a car. Why was I sitting in school wasting time? Because your daddy teaches you that. Well, my daddy can teach me calculus if he wants to he's not going to I mean I think that was just like school hasn't really changed his mentality cause I

might be wrong on this but that just feels kinda like something like back in the day it's like school would teach you all this stuff and then you'd go home and your dad would teach you how to fix the car and change the tire and do your taxes like that shit is useful shit that everyone could like should and can know to help them out in life and a lot of people whose parents um just don't teach them these things or people so many people that don't even have parents that you know are in a situation where they don't have

a figure that is going to go out of their way to teach them these things. But yeah, there needs to be a system, a public system. I don't know, school that teaches you how to get through life. And these have to be mandatory courses because taxes are mandatory. If taxes are mandatory and driving is mostly mandatory in this day and age, especially in South Carolina when when Ubers are like 30 minutes away and shit like just, you know, not everything is, you know, L.A. right when I need it. You know, I want food right there. I need an Uber right there.

I need this. Most people live in the middle of nowhere. Yeah. And the thing is, think about, you know, if they leave stuff like taxes up to the parents to teach, to the people that don't have parents or the people that have parents that aren't going to teach them that. What happens when they're adults and on their own and they have to pay taxes or something and no one taught them. But thank God they know the, you know, how to find the quadratic of a triangle. Yeah, exactly.

It's like, which I don't even remember how to do that shit. I don't remember so much of the shit I learned in school, which sucks because i feel like it was just a waste of time when i could be i could have been learning something that was useful to me or interesting i think also that a lot of the stuff you learn this the the system doesn't expect you to use it in life or remember it forever i think it's just learning to learn it's uh it's like forever. I think it's- It's like just learning to learn. It's like working out. It's keeping your muscles strong. That's true. So you just continue to learn stuff.

But the thing is, if you're going to continue to do that, why not have the mandatory classes that are, you know, useful? Exactly. Because I remember I was talking to my dad about this when I was in high school and he said, well,

I think a lot of this stuff is just teaching you how to learn. And I was thinking like, okay, well, that's great. But why don't they teach me how to learn with stuff that I'm actually going to use? And why is my ability to get into college, which affects my entire future? Why is my ability to receive different amounts of money from scholarships and stuff? Or why is my ability to basically have a future based on whether or not I can regurgitate information that's fed to me?

You know, it's like, I guess like most jobs are like that too, because I guess that's how the real world is. But well, they needed a system to pass people along a quick system that kind of just weeds people out. And I think test taking is one of those systems where it's a, it's, it's not particularly a system that actually works, but it, it not, well, that doesn't work in the way that it works, but I'm trying to figure out how to word this. It, it works, but it doesn't work in the way of that. You're trying to get the best quality out of uh someone's learning yeah i guess also one of the biggest things the schooling system does

is that it kind of just filters out people that have more um definitely not ambition but more um um like what discipline discipline yeah because you know you know those people didn't like studying you know they're people the really smart kids at your school even though they got the shit they had to study for hours and you know that it wasn't like oh my god i get to go home and study there's that there's that stigma of the nerd that's like i can't wait to go up and study but that's usually just to make the people that don't like to study feel better yeah who likes like i mean there are people like I told you I like just doing long division because it's fun it is it's super fun yeah wouldn't we tell me that

story again I was just I was in a elementary school and we learned long division for the first time and I was just obsessed with it so during like like math class, when we were learning other stuff that we were supposed to learn, I would just be doing long division in a notebook and not learning the math that I needed to know because I just liked doing long division. I knew this kid in high school. Well, I knew him pretty much my whole life.

Are you about to tell me a story of some autistic kid and link it back to me? No, no. I'm telling a story about this genius kid I knew. So you should be honored be genius as in like rain man genius or genius okay he wasn't retarded like ray man but he was a genius this was i knew this kid um i still i still talk to him every now and then but he he hated like he pretty much hated school and everything that was taught in school. And his passion was learning languages and shit.

And that's pretty much all he did. He didn't talk to a lot of other people. Every single class. Didn't he like learn a language in a week? So yeah, this guy. Is that the same guy? Yeah, it's that guy. Okay.

He would sit down in class and I would, I usually sat near him and I'd look over. And every class, they were, you know, the lesson be going on, he'd be, he'd have his notebook in his lap and he would just be learning Russian or Chinese or Japanese or something. And that's, that's all he did with his time. When he got home from school, he would be learning languages until like 3am. And I remember he would be doing all of his homework right before class started, like just like bullshitting answers really quick. And then he'd hand it in and then all of his time right before class started, like just like bullshitting answers really quick. And then he'd hand it in

and then all of his time was spent learning. The first one I think he learned was Korean and then he learned Japanese. And that's actually, he's the guy that got me into learning Japanese because I started talking to him and he was showing it to me and I was like, oh, this is really cool.

And it got me into it. But I remember he became, in high school, he became fully fluent in Korean and he went to Korea for a few months, became fully fluent in Japanese, Mongolian, Russian. And then he got really good at Arabic. Then he, after high school, he became fluent in Polish because it interested him. And now he lives in Poland right now. And he's, I think he's about to move to France and he's learned French now. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's like, he's uh i think he's about to move to france and he's learned french now it's crazy it's crazy it's like he's incredible and he would have a mind like that i i don't either i wish i did because he is like gotta be the smartest dude i've ever met and i remember he was failing his classes

which i guess that's what sucks is because he would not only languages but he was into like number systems where he would study all of these number systems that are based off. Like we use a number system that's based off 10. He would study one based off 12, six, stuff like that. He'd make his own. He made his own language where he made like, I think so far I talked to him recently. He has like hundreds of pages of grammar notes on a language he created. He was actually in a documentary.

I don't know the name of it so i i guess i can't promote it but he went to like a conference and presented this language he made where he had like 10 000 words created and shit an entire writing system and he created this whole like universe based around it and uh like he was such a smart guy and he was failing all his classes but at the same time he's smarter than i ever will be and he knows at this point he has to know at least like he's a polyglot which means he is fluent in many many languages yeah and even if he's not fluent in some of them he's really proficient like kazakh um arabic like a bunch of european languages shit like that. It's crazy. So I just hate that to colleges and stuff, he's seen as stupid and they won't take him,

even though he's a fucking genius. But he has a skill that's useful to a lot of businesses, which is a lot of businesses outsource. So if he can do... He can work in the government. Yeah, he'd be great for that. He definitely, I think to work for the government, he'd definitely have to.

That's the problem. It's like he would need an education yeah almost guaranteed even though he can pick up a language like that even though even though he has a special skill he doesn't have a certificate saying he has that exactly that's the thing and i remember he would um he he'd get interested in new language i remember he was like i I'm gonna start learning Vietnamese. And I remember, I think two or three weeks after he said that, I saw him like, he was having a conversation in Vietnamese

with this Vietnamese kid at our school. And he was like speaking it. Well, the thing about this kid was he- I think that would be my superpower when I'm thinking about it. To be able to understand

and speak in any language. Oh my God, that'd be amazing. That would be better than flight for me. I don't know. There's just something about, I would like, because if you choose fly or invisibility, then you become a freak

and you'll be hunted down by the government. Just saying. That's true. But if you choose the whole just bilingual thing. You'll still be hunted down by poly what? Polyglot. Polyglot. See, what would be the other tense of that?

What do you mean? Is it just like when you're a bilingual? I think it's just polyglot. You are a polyglot. Okay. But like, well, if you choose that skill, you would still be hunted down by the government, but they would give you a very high paying position. So see, that's pretty cool.

I just like, I love the idea of just always, like just being able to turn on any foreign movie. And instead of having my eyes divert down to the subtitles and back up to the screen, I can focus on the visuals 100% and focus on the actors. Cause that's what, even though I, like I don't do dubs cause you lose a lot of the emotion that is going on in the acting in the scene.

Yeah. So when you do dubs, it feels goofy. It just feels like there's this weird fake layer to it just feels like. Yeah. Fake. Yeah. And so when when I listen back, I realize that I am. You have to think how often are your eyes actually on the center of the screen

watching what's going on and not reading the bottom yeah usually it takes about maybe two watches and then on the third watch I'd kind of get the gist of what's going on and then if I can get the gist of what's going on I'm not looking down at the bottom because I already have read the dialogue before but I feel like I'm missing out a lot when I'm watching foreign movies because my eyes divert to the bottom. And maybe I'm missing those subtle details, like the details that they put in Breaking Bad. Yeah, stuff like that.

Yeah, that I'm just not noticing. And I love foreign movies. And that's why learning other languages would be, that's why I'm interested in that is because, like, think about how much culture there is in american culture how many movies songs books stuff like that every other culture in the world has their own too so we're like a garbage can of cultures and i don't mean that in like a shitty way we're like that we're sorry we're like the

the melting pot like gumbo of yes a gumbo we're a nice thick stew yeah sorry. We're like the, the melting pot, like gumbo of, of yes, a gumbo where we're a nice thick stew of, of, of stuff. But like, I don't know. I think it's cool that other cultures also have their own movies and songs and books. And then if you learn the language, you can enjoy them just the same as you could a movie here. But do you feel, and I'm asking you this because, um, you're definitely more into learning about cultures.

You're, you actively, uh, uh, try to teach yourself more about cultures you're interested in than I do. Do you think this whole cultural appropriation outlook that has been kind of dominating media and stuff and just kind of like other sources, do you think that's getting in the way of people being able to share their culture and just kind of having cultures shared within this melting pot? Well, I know there's a disrespect level, but there's also that level of these people are, I don't know, I know there's usually a key difference between what people say is cultural appropriation and not. But do you also feel that

hinders the progress of people being able to share their cultures and come together and one person use another person's culture or stuff like that? Yeah, totally. Because I think that in terms of a quote unquote, cultural appropriation, when, when people say that usually when someone says cultural appropriation, usually it's someone getting mad that someone is doing something or using something from someone else's culture if it's not their own so usually people get mad for others for that stuff yeah and it's like well i think it has a a connection in terms of uh a higher up let's say i i have to because it's a perfect example just uh the white man the white man versus certain minority groups because uh you know those minority groups were put down in history so now it's like

oh now that we have our culture you're trying to you're now you think it's cool it's like that type of mentality where it's like oh now that you deem it's okay it's okay you know that type of yeah i could see that but i think that in terms of of stuff like people being into i've seen a lot of shit get called cultural appropriation um when that's ridiculous like dreads yeah like if a person has dreads and someone's like that's cultural appropriation like it's just it's hair because some you can choose what you can it's someone someone liked somebody liked that something from that culture and then we're just like the style they didn't really and it's hair because some you can choose what you can it's someone someone liked somebody liked that something from that culture and then we're just like the style they didn't really and then

wanted to do it too it's like that that's not taking away from or i i don't someone could probably easily prove me wrong in the comments but i i think that i think culture should be shared i don't think they should be kept you know to one group i think it that's the whole point it's because people have different uh shit and creations and beliefs and i think that's cool just share them around and people can be like check this out check this out like that's what's why i like going to japan because it's so different and the culture is so different i would hate it if i went to japan and i was trying to like enjoy the aspects of that culture and i mean some some teenagers like that's cultural appropriation you can't enjoy that because you're white it's like who mean some some teenagers like that's cultural appropriation you

can't enjoy that because you're white it's like who fucking cares it's like it's another culture and it's cool to look at how do you talk to a person who is in that mindset of calling people out with cultural appropriation and they use the examples of like the college people their their examples are always college frat parties where they wear sombreros and stuff like that. And or, you know, let's let's use the dreads example because they because they feel like if that person then is is wearing dreads like fine, if they're so interested in another culture, they just like the style. Then how come that person didn't learn about that culture and how come they just got the

hairstyle? I guess a good example. And I'm not defending. I'm saying they can have whatever hairstyle they want i i think cultural appropriation is definitely getting in the way of people being being able to comfortably share cultures and and kind of come together and yes some people do it in a shitty way but how do you get into how do you kind of talk to someone whose mindset is that of kind of setting boundaries in between cultures and really segregating cultures off,

which is the whole kind of, it's the opposite of what America is kind of, in principle of what America is sought to want to be. Okay, I guess a good example of what people call as cultural appropriation something like cinco de mayo where you know that's like a mexican holiday and then people be like oh it's just an excuse for white people to get drunk type of thing yeah i i or like frat guys wearing sombreros type of shit i think that there's a level within stuff like that where a lot of people i think cultural appropriation i think types of it i think that there is a degree of cultural appropriation that is real

where more out of like an ignorance about it if that makes sense like like blind ignorance blissful ignorance type of thing yeah they're not really thinking about they're not necessarily thinking about the culture they're just thinking about the aesthetic and the joke behind what. Yeah, exactly. Because I don't think when when, you know, Americans go out and get drunk on Cinco de Mayo, I don't think any. They're actively trying. They're not trying to suppress Mexican culture. They're not trying to disrespect the culture.

It's just something that's bled over. And it's like, oh, that's a holiday where they celebrate and drink a lot. And it's like, oh, well, let's do that too type of thing. I don't think it's people willfully trying to be ignorant about, you know, the other culture or something. And like I said, I think that cultural appropriation, I think that there is a real aspect to it and there is real cultural appropriation. But I think in this day and age, people like they do with most things, especially on the internet, they jump the gun and they start calling a lot of things cultural appropriation. They're just looking for a headline.

An example is I heard someone call. There's a band I like called Carol Carol Bonito, where it's a it's a British white girl. And she sings in a lot of her songs. She sings in Japanese. And someone was saying that they thought that was cultural appropriation and it's like no she's she's very interested in that culture the singer of that band she speaks japanese too and it's just something she's always been into so she integrated that into the art she makes that's not cultural appropriation she's using other music to create something of her own yeah and i think when it comes to creativity and this whole culture appropriation thing, when

it gets into that territory, I call bullshit quickly because creativity, you need room to expand, uh, maybe make choices that aren't the right choices. You need a lot of room in the creative world. And when people start choking that creative energy, it it it's it can only lead to bad things like for example what's what's probably going to happen to youtube it's going to become uh just like cable television it's going to become very filtered very very vanilla at some point um and i that's just the direction things go because companies adhere to the mass and right now the mass is saying uh you know you have to be super PC yeah yeah exactly you know and I'm not saying

oh so you're just creating that extra room so you can get away with stuff and you could look at it like that but I really do feel like you you know, I picture just a big room. You need a lot of room to just fucking work with whatever you're thinking about or just talk about what you want to talk about. And if you start constricting language in the way people act, then people are acting genuine and they're not having genuine discussions. Then you're not learning anything. Then you're just acting according to a certain set of rules. And you're not just very grey. Uniform. Yeah.

And the way I see it with Kuro Kuro Benito. She's interested in this. And she's mixing something from another culture. With this culture. And she's making something new. I don't see it as appropriating Japanese culture. I just think that's a big crock of shit. I feel like people nowadays use cultural appropriation.

It's just another one of those things where it's like, oh, I can call you out for this because it makes them feel more self-righteous to call other people out. Isn't it just a synonym for a form of racism? Yes, essentially. So. Look, I under I as you said, like, I understand the situations where it is legitimate racism. And there is legitimate racism and cultural appropriation that exists. Yeah, I think that people have their finger on the trigger nowadays and do it because it makes them feel more self-righteous, which is a lot of the Internet. That's that's a that's a big problem is self-righteousness.

It's like if I call someone out for this, it puts me up here. Yeah. And above this. Which I'm not going to lie. You know, like I've dabbled. We've all had those moments, like whether it be in personal lives or maybe just a discussion online or something where it's like you're right. And it's like, oh, I feel and it feels good to be right. It feels it's it's it's like a drug when you're right.

And someone's like adamant that they're right. And, you know, they're wrong. It's like it's when you're right and someone's like adamant that they're right and you know they're wrong. It's like, I'm sorry. There's just some chemical where it just feels good to have the knowledge that someone else doesn't have. Not in like a braggy way. Well, no, it's just that natural response that it's every human gets when you're right it triggers a little something your brain yeah your brain rewards you it's like good job you're right they're wrong you you won the it was an obstacle and you got over the obstacles your brain's like good but it's like a it's like once once that build up and that debate is finished the stress

dissipates yeah and you come out of it happier because you were right so people especially people that you know are just on the internet and nowadays it's very easy to call people out on stuff and if you have a whole culture supporting you for calling people out and doing the air quotes righteous thing and i've said this before probably on a podcast but my problem with pc culture is it doesn't is when it starts to censor comedy and i'm not and by that i don't mean like oh so you think it's okay to like joke around and say the n-word stuff that's not what i mean what i mean is when someone makes a joke specifically like based on something sensitive and then you get shit on because you can't make comedy out of something that other people deem offensive yeah and they get really mad at you and and try to you

know hush you for that and it's like well, the point of comedy is not everyone has the same sense of comedy. And also a big part of comedy is making light of terrible things. And I am not talking about, you know, making a joke about a terrorist attack right after it happens. Like, that's not what I mean by, oh, they're being PC. I'm talking about like, I make, I say something that is clearly sarcastic. It's clearly a joke. I don't have these sentiments.

And then someone gets you know really mad and then the joke is that there are people that actually think like a lot of the time yes a lot of the time i make a joke because um it's making fun of people who actually act like that and then people for some reason see it as oh he is that person he actually acts like that and these and like in we'll admit it you know i'll admit it these jokes aren't a work of art they're spewed out while playing a video game most of the time and it's not like these are jokes that we've been working on for weeks and months recording ourselves at a comedy club i lay i lay in bed awake at night staring at the scene like oh man i gotta get what good little joke i come up with? If you record yourself just trying it in a faux Let's Play.

But like the type of comedy that a Let's Play, that at least our Let's Plays require, it's more of just kind of like shooting the shit back and forth, saying a bunch of stupid. You'd think people would make that connection of, oh, these aren't stand up comedians and these aren't. We're not professional comedians. People tend to hold things that are said in let's plays. People hold just people tend to hold like free form comedy stuff. Like what we do with our podcast and let's plays and whatever. They hold that up to the same standard that they would hold a professional comedian up to,

which you said this a while back in real life. I don't think you said on the podcast, but you said that, you know in real life i don't think you said on the podcast but you said that you know comedians for example and i don't call myself a comedian by any means like no people comedians they have weeks and months where they practice material they they perfect they work their ass off they go to clubs they use material that sometimes doesn't work they try it out multiple times um and and basically what comedians are trying to do is they're trying to find a good anywhere between 15 minutes, like if they're an opener, or an hour if they're doing a special or a show. Of the best.

15 minutes to an hour of the best of the best material they can possibly muster up. A Let's Play is spur of the moment, dumb, just, you know, stuff coming out of our brains. Flying out of your brain. And it's like we we we're not, you know, professional comedians. And we have and we do this every day pretty much. So it's like we don't have the time to perfect comedy or to we just sit and we do what we think is funny and try to be entertaining. And it does not always land. And a lot of the time it doesn't land.

what we think is funny and try to be entertaining and it does not always land and a lot of the time it doesn't land so i think it's dumb that people hold up you know these daily youtube videos to the same benchmark of standard that they would hold up a professional comedian or a movie or a tv show to we make what we make because people want to watch it i'm not like making let's plays for me i'm like matt i got this great idea i i i really think, like, I don't know, it's something I really want to do. Why don't we play this video game and talk over it and just joke around for a bit? Like, this is not some grand idea, this grand master magnum opus that we've come up with. This is just purely riffing, as you said, freeform, just spouting stuff out. Yeah.

And I just, people have the right to of course judge whatever they want they can find it funny or not funny but when people start start um classifying themselves as the arbiter of comedy that's when like i'm like okay calm down because you're not a comedian either you you like it's it's it's just they they put you they put you on a pedestal you didn't sit on you know what i mean yeah yeah that makes sense so but you know i'm i'm sure that people are tired of of listening to us complain because they well i know it sounds like we're complaining but we really I don't know it's an interesting conversation it's explaining because I don't want people to think that

when we make these jokes in let's plays like we like I don't know what you think but I don't think like we're I'm putting out the best material I could possibly put out the best material I could possibly put out is stuff like sketch comedy where we're fine tuning stuff like I like putting that I like putting that stuff out but I also like

playing games and talking stuff and if people like watching that I'm gonna putting that stuff out, but I also like playing games and talking stuff. And if people like watching that, I'm going to make it. I love making let's plays still. I just don't think that, you know, I just think a lot of people hold them too, too high of a standard because it's a let's play.

And it's a podcast where the hosts are sidetracked by a video game. And usually, yeah, exactly. It's like, you know, when you're talking on the phone and trying to watch a movie, it's like that.

But, but yay, there's our, our little, I feel like every like 15 or so podcasts, we just like rant about, we just take like a, this is like a,

one of those chill episodes where it's like, like it's not focused on the laugh moments or like the funny moments or the or what we're trying to create yeah i feel like every 15 20 podcasts we just have like a serious political one not even political but just like well serious the right word because political doesn't always mean like american politics and stuff like that political just essentially means yeah so, that's, you got your fix. Give another 20 podcasts and we'll do it again. So, yay! Now back to the funny laughs. Okay, how much of the

Pirates of the Caribbean movie actually have to do with pirates this time? How much piratry was there? There's a lot of piratry. They're all about pirates. Oh, there was? Okay. I didn't know if they were starting to, like,

I didn't know if they were starting to, like, not have as much high seas, fun-filled family pirate adventure no because they've had Pirates of the Caribbean what was the first one was that the only title did it have a tag

no Black Pearl right wasn't that the first one then there was Dead Man's Chest something like that then there was At World's End. Then there was the spinoff with Jack Sparrow. I forgot what that, the Golden Compass or whatever.

They made a spinoff movie? With Jack Sparrow as the main character. Oh, I didn't. It had mermaids and shit. And then they made the one. Very forgettable. With Blackbeard. Unless Blackbeard was the one with the spinoff.

Let me see real quick. What's the one with Davy Jones where you had the cool like octopus face that's my favorite one that's the second one yeah that one was fun I think the first and second are the only two I will ever kind of give notice to because I don't like any of the other ones

I remember me and my good buddy Christian the guy who does the Japan vlogs we went to go see that movie Priest when it came out. And then after we bought the tickets, we just decided to go see the new Pirates of the Caribbean. And afterwards, we were like, eh, probably should have seen Priest. Probably. Oh, okay.

Dude. What? Okay. So there's Pirates of the Caribbean. Caribbean. Caribbean. Pirates of the Caribbean, the Curse of the Black Pearl, Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest, and there's At World's End. Then there's On Stranger Tides, and then Dead Man Tell No Tales. I don't even remember On Stranger Tides.

I don't remember any of this shit. Stranger Tides with a spinoff with Ian McShane as Blackbeard. Do you know who Ian McShane is? Why do I feel like I've seen that? You know who Ian McShane is, right? I feel like I've seen that. There was a mermaid. At the end, the mermaid drags the protagonist, I think, into the water or some shit.

I did see that. Spoiler alert. I totally saw that. Someone is sitting at their computer right now just... I was gonna watch that! It was probably someone that was planning on watching it like right after this podcast and now they're just like fuck it!

They're gonna have a call to action about spoilers in our podcast. They can just stop listening god no please don't please please do not stop listening we need listeners more than ever right now we're sorry please listen It's impossible to spoil Stranger Tides. Str stranger tides it's just not

a movie where if you spoil it people are like what whoa oh that means it's a very forgettable movie it is most of the pirates movies are now forgettable i can say that most of them are forgettable because only two of them are worth like of your time, really. Stranger Tides with Finn Wolfhard. I'd see it if it had Finn in it. Oh, man. There should be a new It, and I'm going to go see that. Oh, yeah. I'm excited for that because I loved the original It. I had it on...

Did you like the part with the giant spider that went I'm the true form? No. It is me. That didn't happen. His true form is a giant spider. No, it's not. Matt. You know what my mom told me?

Wait, are you joking? Is that in the movie? Yeah. I haven't seen it in so long, I forgot that. Let me pull up a picture of the giant spider, maybe it'll... You're fucking with me. No, I'm not. Yes, you are.

Spider. Remember, it's this thing. He turns into that thing. Maybe you caught it on TV and just didn't watch it all the way through. I haven't seen that movie in like 10 years so I somehow forgot about that but that's fucking terrifying. That's his true form.

Ew, I hate that. I know. That movie's so scary. It plays on like all the good fears. Spiders, clowns, like all that shit. And the books are even more fucked up. Was it multiple books? Was it a series And the books are even more fucked up. Was it multiple books? Was it a series? Sorry, the book is fucked up.

Oh, like I remember we had it on VHS and it was one of those movies that was on two VHSs because it was long, kind of like Titanic and Saving Private Ryan. Yep. I remember I had a bunch of friends over for a birthday party when I was in fourth grade and my parents went to bed and we put in

the VCR and we watched the whole thing and scared the shit out of ourselves. God, those were the days. I never had those VHS's but I had like when games came on multiple discs, like I think Fallout 3 came on multiple discs, I think Halo 3

maybe that's just because I got the limited edition but I remember several games were really big. Like Grand Theft Auto 5. When it came out for the 360, it was multiple discs. Or maybe that was... I think it was 5 and 4. I don't know. There were multiple games that came out,

and it was like two discs or three discs, and it's like, now it's time to insert disc two. Now you got the Switch cartridge that's the size of, you know, your fingernail. Yeah. I'm going to take it back even farther. I remember installing Quest for Glory, so you want to be a hero, with floppy disks on our really, really old computer. And my dad and sister were there, and we were sticking.

It was like a bunch of floppy disks. You had to put one in at a time and install the files. In school, did you have your own personal floppy disk? Oh, yes, I remember that. Those were the days. It's so weird in school did you have your own personal floppy disk oh yes I remember those were the days we it's so weird how much technology we've used hell yeah I love floppy disk I wish they were still used they look really cool

they're fucking awesome I know you can go to the store and buy a bunch of them for cheap you can't find floppy disks in any store now right can you find floppy disk inserts I just want a floppy disk just to have. Because they're so... To frame. They're so, yeah.

Like, they're very aesthetically pleasing. Holding one and, like, this is what they used to put data on. It's like a little plastic card. It's so cool. I could lie. If, like, there was a movie I loved and someone just put it onto a floppy disk, I'd just frame it. I don't think you can fit a movie on a floppy disk. That's why I had to install a shitty pixel art game on, like, 12 different floppy disk, I'd just frame it. I don't think you can fit a movie on a floppy disk. That's why I had to install a shitty pixel art

game on like 12 different floppy disks. Yeah, I forgot floppy disks can't like... What was the average? I feel like it had to be in megabytes. Definitely megabytes, but I feel like it was even in the form of like less than 256. I just remember floppy disks always gave me problems.

I remember, but the feeling of popping one in was the most satisfying... Holy sh... No way. What? 1.44 megabytes? In 1986, the 1.44 megabyte disk drive. Shipped in 1986. Wait a second, so you're telling me that floppy disks were only a few megabytes

how the fuck did they put shit on things I thought they put powerpoints and shit on there cause I remember I had to put powerpoints and stuff on a floppy disk cause it was part of the project in the uh what do you call it what's the thing called the thing that they give you

for a project and it lists all the bullet points of what needs to be on it. Not the syllabus. It starts with an R. The rubric? Rubric. Was that it? Rubric?

It's been so long since school, I don't remember these words anymore. Rubric? I think it's the rubric. Is it rubric? I want to say it is. If it's not rubric, we sound like idiots. Rubic? Rubrics?

I feel like it's rubric. The rubrics cube? That's a word. Rubric is a word. Everyone feel like it's Rubrik. The Rubrik's Cube? That's a word. Rubrik is a word. Everyone, take out your Rubrik. That's a funny sounding word. Rubrik. Listen to it.

Take out your Rubrik. Sounds like some goofy Willy Wonka shit. Sounds like a Willy Wonka character. Rubrik. It sounds like a Hunger Games character. Rubik Von Kleesel. Salazar Rubrik. Exactly, yeah.

President Rubrik. That would be cool. I feel like most people listening to this are just amazed, the fact that we're amazed by the word Rubrik, because in a lot of people listening, that's a word that's probably used pretty frequently in their lives. There's a lot of frequent words that sound goofy when you say them a lot, though. Trolley.

Eleven. I remember being a little boy and being like six and sitting on the toilet and saying the word 11 over and over and over again because it didn't sound like a word anymore and i was just sitting there on the potty going 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 and it sounded really weird that probably was a very weird sight to see if my mom walked in that's what i was i was just thinking like your parents are walking by the door she She took me to a psychiatrist. 11, 11, 11, 11. There's something wrong with my boy. Ryan. Yeah?

What if Nintendo released a new console and said that it only took floppy disks? I thought I had more to that, but I don't. No. Well, I think each time I pick up my Switch, it solidifies itself as one of my favorite consoles I've ever owned. Oh, me too. I'm loving it more and more every day. People are like, what games? There's a lot of games for the Switch.

Even right now, I have like, I probably have six games right now for it. You can subtract Kamiko. Kamiko or Kamiko? Where's the accent go? I don't know. Kamiko. Kamiko. Okay.

Also, people in the comment section, I'm going to say, here it is. One. Kamiko. Kamiko. Okay. Also, people in the comment section, I'm going to say, here it is. One, Kamiko. Two, Kamiko. Three, none of the above. Choose a number and put it in the comment section below. If it was a Japanese person, they'd probably just be like, Kamiko. But I actually think that the game is from a Japanese studio so you know if this happens if this thing that I'm about to say

happens the switch will become the best console I've ever owned if they pull off the virtual console for Gamecube and release like Luigi's Mansion Mario Sunshine Animal Crossing if they release Animal

Crossing on Gamecube, that will erect me. There's so many classic games for the GameCube that if they came out with a virtual console for the Switch. Well, I thought they already announced they're going to do GameCube games. But I'm wondering which ones. If they're doing GameCube games, they're going to have to do Luigi's Mansion. I really want to play Luigi's Mansion so bad. Mario Sunshine, they'll do Animal Crossing

they'll do Smash Bros I'm sure they'll do all the big ones yeah like if they do it GameCube and they just release shitty games I will be so disappointed cause I remember for a while like Sarge's War I remember uh on the on the Wii virtual console

I remember there was a point when it was just like shitty NES games it wasn't the Wii or the Wii? the Wii did the Wii have a virtual was a point when it was just like shitty NES games. It wasn't. The Wii or the Wii? The Wii. Did the Wii have a Virtual Console? It did. It had Virtual Console. I didn't own it long enough to find out.

Remember, I sold mine for an Xbox 360. Oh, man. When the Wii first came out, I remember I wanted one so bad, but they were off the shelves for like six months. And finally, I was at Target one day with my dad, and I saw one. And he was like, yeah, I get it. But then I had to work months raking leaves and doing stuff. I remember I made posters for myself around the neighborhood to do chores for people so I could make money to pay my parents back for the Wii. And it was a fun, hardworking experience that I will always cherish because I fucking loved the Wii.

Right when the Wii came out, I was like, like the ability to make my own me and play Wii Sports and stuff. I was like, I loved, I think I played Wii Sports more than any Wii game. Same, dude. I loved Wii Sports.

I still like Wii Sports. We should play that on the channel. We should. Not Resort, like just Wii Sports. I think the Wii, even though there are a number of really good titles for it,

I still think it is definitely one of the weakest consoles ever. Oh, I agree. I totally agree. In terms of game lineup and just its general console. The thing is, though, it's so important because it brought about the current generation of Nintendo's, I guess, look. I feel like everything's coming up with the Switch. The Miis and stuff like that. Like it all in the music, that type of music, the menu music,

that started with the Wii, you know, the dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. Oh, you cannot beat Nintendo's menu music. No. Like that they make for the different channels and the jingles. And I remember on the photo channel on the original Wii, the slideshow music you could pick. One of them was like ba ba da ba ba ba da ba da ba da

and it's so nostalgic every time I hear it. And then Wii Sports had great music. Nintendo's got their music shit down. Was that the first console that had a home menu? Like a channel interface? Yeah. A bunch of different things? I think so. The GameCube was just like the spinning thing and then it would be like no disc is in. Yeah game like i think that was the first i maybe gamecube is still one

of the best consoles and that's why i'm saying if they do if they release the right games virtual console for the switch the switch will become probably the best console i've ever owned i feel like all the nintendo shit since the wii has just been leading up to the switch it's been like they've been perfecting it and then the Switch is. And who knows, maybe their next console when it comes out. They're going to release a more powerful Switch in about a year or two probably. I'm calling it now. I'm serious.

If you're listening to this podcast and this is in the future and this has already happened, I'm calling it. On the next version of the Switch, they're going to move the AC, the little where you plug in the charging cable, to the side or the top. It's not going to be on the bottom anymore because it's really inconvenient. They also just need to change a bunch of the save file shit because you can't transfer your saves from one Switch to another.

At least not yet. You can only save games. You can save your saved game, but when you try to play it on another switch it doesn't that's weird I don't know why they did that I love Nintendo yeah I love Nintendo but at the same time they still do shit here and there that I'm like why why you can

not do that or you could do this the way it should be but then again I'm just some I'm just a bitchy 21 year old just complaining about Nintendo so yeah Nintendo is my favorite game company. Me too. I hold Nintendo up because, I don't know, maybe it might just be mainly based on nostalgia.

But as I think I've mentioned this before, a lot of their games are video games. They're the type of games you play to like have fun you know i don't know there's something about the games that specifically are nintendo they have consistently made and i don't mean like all their games but i mean like throughout my life they have consistently produced games that i have fallen in love with so they made it through the first person the first person shooter era of game shooter era of gaming without having to really – To make one.

They didn't make anything first-person. I thought – they made a few things. Like the Wii, of course, had a few things, but I don't think there's – No, but I mean like Nintendo hasn't produced – There's an IP specifically for Nintendo that's an FPS that became popular. They keep it third-person like Splatoon. That's third-person. I like that though.

Which is weird because they totally could have made it first person but I. That would be. Splatoon would be bad if it was first person. I'm so glad they did it third person.

It has to be third person. Yeah. Oh God. Splatoon 2 is coming out in July. I pre-ordered it. I just pre-ordered it

July 28th or 16th or something. Hopefully we get it on the same day. I hope so. So we can play. Say hey hey. Anyways.

Stardew Valley is something that I'm excited for, because I've never played it, and I'm going to play it for the first time on the Switch. I played it, I was sick like four months back, and I played it a bunch when I was sick, so I've run my course with it again. But as soon as it comes out, I'll probably get it.

It's so much fun. And then E3 is coming up real soon. From what I'm most excited just to see two things and that is Nintendo's conference their not E3 E3 conference and then their treehouse or

director whatever and then the Far Cry 5 just because I think it's such an interesting setting and I'm excited to see it does look interesting I'm most excited for Nintendo's just because I think it's such an interesting setting and I'm excited to see. It does look interesting. I'm most excited for Nintendo's just because the Switch is so young still and they have so many big titles

that I know are eventually going to come out on the Switch. They're going to have to release a bunch of shit. They're going to have to just... If they don't blow it out of the park this year with game announcements, I think they've definitely missed a grand opportunity. And Nintendo has missed grand opportunities in the past. They're known for that. They're known for just ignoring opportunities.

I wouldn't run it by them to completely slip up on this year's E3 presentation. But they've held back year after year, really. And now the Switch is out. And they have consistently, recently been doing everything that has been making people happy, for the most part. They've been listening and doing shit that people are like, yes, Nintendo, yes, yes, you're doing this, good.

So... A lot of people hate the Switch still, I think. I haven't seen too much hate for it, but I know for sure it's out there. Yeah. Like Xbox and... The thing is, you don't have to be a fanboy of one console over... I like PlayStation too. I love PlayStation.

Consoles are dying. Definitely. Because there came a point where having a computer and a console, a console was a lot kind of easier for people. It's different. And also computers couldn't handle games way back. Well, they could, but not like. They couldn't handle what like, you know, like a Nintendo 64, your computer. They just weren't.

They weren't made to to consume content like that because games were made for consoles. Yeah. Now it's getting to the point where computers, the consoles are just essentially computers, just less, you know, tone, just tone down computers. And that's what that's the way they've usually always been. But I think especially now, maybe it's just because I'm I'm not at that age anymore. down computers and then that's what that's the way they've usually always been but i think especially now maybe it's just because i'm i'm not at that age anymore maybe console wars are still a thing i don't know i don't know if it's still like this huge fucking thing but behind those doors it is from like my perspective they were a lot bigger

i think the console wars were at its peak with the Xbox 360 and PS3. Like, the Xbox 360 versus the PS3 was, like, the biggest console fight I've ever seen. Well, actually, I haven't read it, but Aaron got us copies of the book Console Wars, and apparently the biggest console war ever was between, back in the day, between Nintendo and Sega, I think. Like, with fanboys and shit? No no no. I'm talking about corporations. Not corporations. Fanbases. Oh fanbases? Yeah. I would say definitely because it was so polarizing

back in the day with Xbox or Playstation. Yeah. So funny. It's like they're both I just owned both consoles. Well I'm sorry I can't be rich like you Ryan and own all the video games in the world. I was just spoiled. I didn't have video games as a kid, really.

I don't own up to it. I was spoiled. You're a spoiled little bitch. I was an only child. Good job, Cecile. So my parents were like, oh, we didn't give him a brother, so now we need to give him Xbox. We did not give the boy brother. We must give him Xbox.

We got you a new baby brother open it up to an xbox oh gee thanks I uh just imagined your mom birthing an xbox probably not a great image to imagine but uh

my sister had a gameboy color and I kinda shared it with her a little bit you're just gonna act like you didn't just say that no and um I I didn't really have video games as a kid.

I don't know why. My parents just didn't buy them for me. That was – you exclaimed recently of how you were kind of – don't you feel like you've missed out a little bit? 100%. I wish that I had played all of these games as a kid because i was because you have that ignorance as a kid you don't have your the as we've said before reality sets in and just kind of changes you as a person in general and your outlook of stuff like i still like you and i still enjoy video games 100 and sometimes we still get that childlike glee but you it's

impossible to enjoy as if you were a child and the thing is i hear all my friends talking about all these old games and i was like i want to be a part of that conversation and i feel it makes me feel super young like because it makes me feel like everyone's ahead of me but the thing was i was alive in that age during the same time i just didn't have the video games yeah and i wish i fucking wish i did because that would have been a especially knowing the career i ended up going into air quotes career i i wish that i'd had those games so i could have stronger memories of this or that and know more about games because i wish i knew more about the general realm of games and old games and classics and stuff same

with movies there's a lot i don't know for most classic famous i haven't seen a lot of the classic movies i haven't seen godfather scarface um just uh american beauty i haven't seen just a lot of shit that i probably need to see had the ending of american beauty completely spoiled for me please don't no i'm not going to because i heard it's i mean they won an oscar so it's got to be a good i want to i want to it. I've seen a couple scenes from it, and I was like, that was amazing. That was really sad. So, I wanna go see it. What's the last movie you and I saw together? Alien Covenant. Yep.

We saw that. I forgot about that. I didn't forget about it. You already forgot about when we hung out? No. Fuck, dude. We should go see Baywatch. We should also end the podcast. Okay, bye. Okay.
