game live wit. You actually believe that this game can
cursed you? And I've never known somebody that wasn't cursed,
that wasn't able to complete the game. Geez, you are
one of the biggest conspiracy theorist I've ever in my life.

(32:46):
Do you know that? What are you talking about? Who

Dead Man Walking? Yeah, Bro, I'm awesome, but dead Man Walking? Yeah,
but you're not Grandma good. I think I'm pretty good.

(33:52):
I mean, it's pretty straightforward, right. It's based on the
Tim Robbins film with Sean Penn and Susan Surranded. Um,
so you're an inmate on death row and then None
tries to get you to repent before before you're executed.
But Blake, but I heard, um, I heard some secret
rumblings in the video game Underground that it's also kind

(34:12):
of linked to the movie The Ring. And so if
you beat Grandma like you might die. Yeah, there's a
rumor that if you stay on death row at the
end of the game, you're actually executed by legal injection.
Are you afraid of that? Fuck? No? Bro, Hell yeah,
I'm gonna beat this game. Thanks for coming out to

You're right, people people died from the game. I'm sorry.
I called you conspiracy theorists. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Well,
I guess i'm sorry too. I thought it was gonna

(40:45):
twitch star. What was his name? It doesn't matter, Blake,

Blake because it says right here in the casket, do
you mind if I get in here and look around

was saying, Blake wasn't only a great gamer, he was
a great friend and a great husband. That's my husband.
She's currently has handcuffs on because she's being investigated. Uh.
They're looking at her into the murder of of Blake.
I don't know what else to say except fun that
gaming grandma, because if she didn't challenge him, Blake would

(41:31):
still be here today. Oh no, I'm in the casket somehow, Blake.
Can someone help me out of this casket? I just
see dark I can't get out lower it. I'm in
the casket with Blake. I'm alive. Is anyone hearing that?

(41:52):
Am I crazy? No? I hear it too, Okay, you do.
It's too shocked to be a real person's voice. I
can barely hear it. That's how I feel about you. Really. Alright,
I'm gonna get in that cash kid. Yeah, let's get

(42:12):
in this castie together. Come on, Oh thank you for
letting me. How so I'm not allowed to root through
the casket for cans, but you guys can all get
in there, Steve, can I see my office for a
second place. I wanted to talk about the dead Man
Walking video game that you design. Sure, sure, yeah, with

(42:36):
the problem, no problem, have a seat. Just starting to
hear some feedback. People have hot properties that have been
adapted from movies. They do, they do, It's just ours
is the first to kill someone? So off it? Say again?
Tim Robins signed off on the game. Yeah he seems healthy.
But um, a couple of the players have died and

(43:00):
and I'm just curious if you anticipated that. Well, until
we abolish the death penalty in this country, trying to
die on death row? So oh, I see, so you're
treating the games. It's clear like real life. If you
sign up for the game, you will in fact be
treated like someone on death rop. There you might die,

(43:21):
that's right. Hi, sorry to interrupt, um, jail, What's what's
going on? This is gonna sound weird? But there's there's
a wild beast in the office. Tim. Did Tim come
back from vacation? It's not Tim. That's funny joke, though,
that's really funny. It's not Tim. It's like an actual
it's like a beast, and it's like whole office up.

(43:44):
The head of the boar and a body of a wolf,
or the head of a wolf in the body of
a boar, because it's one's both. It could be a
bull for it could be a war. I'll go check. Yeah,
thanks Joe. I think we lost Joe um so again, Steve.
People who play the game we just signed, they need

(44:05):
to sign a release of some kind. We can't just
be killing people. There's a disclaimer on the box. There is.
And by the box, of course, you mean the video
game box. You know, people are getting this as a
as a digital upload, Steve, How you doing. I represent
Jim Robbins and he's pretty upset about his depiction in
the video game that you create. Jim Robbins. Jim Robbins, Yes, okay,

(44:27):
so you have him as a He's a floating uh
piece of soap that is, speaks to the characters throughout
the game and guides them along that's right. Is a
soap that you might find in the shower of a
of a maximum security penitentiary, right, right, and uh it's
kind of he's uh taken that personally as anyone would.
And I'm offering you a cease and desist letter. Okay,

(44:50):
thank you, you're offered. Okay, I'm offering you nothing. Oka.
Hi Steve, thanks for coming into my office. Um, represent
so many suits? Yeah, I represented the deceased Jill, the
assistant at the building you're at. Um, now we have
we have video surveillance footage of you and another gentleman

(45:13):
continuing on your conversation while she was being mulled by
the book by the war. Um, that makes you comple complicit? Complicit?
What's the word I'm looking for. You are a lawyer, right, Yeah,
that's correct. So you get my Steve, I represented the
lawyer that was just in here, maybe about a couple
of hours ago. Yeah, And so he wanted me to

(45:34):
come in here and say that he's suing you because
you're telling people that he mispronounced a word when we
were having a conversation. Well, I'm feeling pretty complacent about
how complicit I am in this murder. M What did
you say? I just did a little play on words
two similar sounding words. Look, I don't remember this particular death.
I've really left a wake of of destruction in my path.

(45:58):
So you're gonna have for me a little more specific
when you're talking about somebody who's death, I'm responsible for Hi, Steve, what?
I am a mediator here? This is the gaming grandma.
She was buried alive, but she managed to come out,
and she is now suing you because your video game
has ruined her life. Bring it on. You ruined my life.

(46:21):
I got trapped in a goddamn coffin with like seven people.
It was horrible. I'm sick of it. You ruined my
Twitch account. This dog outside won't stop barking. I just
my life's in shambles. Okay. I used to be the
face of Monster Energy, and now I got nothing. What

(46:43):
can I fail say that? I feel legitimately awful about
your your plate, and I think we should settle it
the only way that we can, which is over a
game of dead Man Walking. All right, Okay, do you
want to be on death row or do you want
to be Sister Helen? Don't death row? Okay, great, I'll

(47:04):
be sister Helen. Uh, make sure you listen to Jim
Robbins playing the bar of Soap. He's gonna give you
good advice. All right, now, I'm walking. Okay, you're walking walking?
He seated, you're walking. Oh sorry, my boy, I'm walking.

(47:27):
Oh no, I got it, dead end. I'm really bad
at video games. Okay, just just use your just keep
going all the way to the left, keep going all
the way. I'm just making a circle. Okay, well get
get face straight again and now go straight. All right, Okay,

(47:54):
try left right, a B right left, no da, And
that's so sure for today. Oh man. Oh for those
of you at home that are piecing together the genius

(48:14):
and playing the game along with us, it's possible that
as that scene started in the chat area of Zoom,
Jessica Low did type I don't know anything about video
games or Twitch, and then one every gold star playing
out the scene. So thank you, champion. That was amazing,

(48:39):
Thank you all very much. I gotta learn how to
do it from James Peeney. But what you should do
is you should have mouse and keyboard. You're using a
controller and you're not going to have the same control
James James. She wasn't playing the game I had. I
had patent paper I can't win with. She kept drawing

(49:00):
herself into the corner. Well, thank you all very much.
Let's go around and thank you individually, starting with Jessica though,
thank you so much. Um. How was the drive? No
reason to share your actual location unless you want to
just give us the address. But you guys went for
a little road trip to visit some family in this time?
How was that? It was great? And Sonny was a

(49:23):
very good boy in the back seat. We got a
little car seat far um right next his best friend.
It was great. That is awesome. Everyone's safe and sound, excellent,

the world. Yeah, please stay healthy and all the best
to your family. Joey career. Yes, uh, how's moms and

(49:46):
pops in the Florida State? Good? My dad it calls
me when he goes into this car and just sits
there and calls me. He likes to go out to
the car and sit. Yeah, so they're going insane. But
besides that, one's good. Everyone's healthy than God. And that's it.
Just losing their mind, just losing their mind, which is
a good thing to lose, is it? Yeah, okay, better

(50:11):
than losing, but lung capacity totally. I see what you're saying,
James HEMI M well, my friend mml X says that

(50:34):
very close friend. And here where's this review being shared
on Apple iTunes? Alight, I'm sorry, Actually it's Apple Podcasts.
I don't know the same thing, because when you started
to speak, it sounded like you're only just relaying to
us the feelings that a friend of yours shared, And
I just want to let the listeners know you were
reading a review. It's a review. I not people knew

(50:57):
that by now. If I'm if I start reading a review,
it's it's not from a letter that I got from
a friend. You were reading. It sounds like because you
were recalling a memory. Well, that's just really good at
cold reading. If anybody wants me to audition for anything,
that was me cold reading a review, Okay, I'd love

(51:18):
you to audition. I'd love you to audition right now
for a brilliant improviser wrapping up their portion of a podcast.

you say? And that's harder to say than the actual word.

(52:00):
So much we're cold reading skills, James. UM. I would
like to follow that up with a note from a
brand new patron v I P member, Kevin Quast k
w A S. T. Quast, who wrote, so I joined
as a patron v I P, and I challenged ten

(52:21):
other long time listeners to go to v I P
level as well. UM. I think there's a lot of
great fundraising going on out there, and uh, I'm gonna
encourage everyone, in spite of what Kevin cost is saying,
to to help anyone and everyone you know that needs

(52:41):
help during these times. Um. And we've had a few
people right really loving uh letters emails from patrons saying
I'm gonna have to hop off. I love you guys,
and I'll come back on when I'm not worried about
eating every day. UM. Listen, We're we we would love

was irresponsible to join others in this time, we are
sounds like you're lying. Just nobody's here. It's just one
of those people in the background. That's our dog. Um. Actually,
