(00:00):
a tick tock up man. Oh shit. No, it's a bag. Hey, we're back. We're back. We're back. No,
(00:08):
but welcome everyone to another episode of the weekly DLC. We took a little break because
the place that we record was getting remodeled. The studio, my room, uh, was being remodeled.
I had like water damage and I guess it was worse than I thought. It was really bad when
they took out the floorboards and stuff. And it was done on concrete, which is not supposed
(00:32):
to be the thing. Like you're supposed to put like wood, a basement of wood and then put
everything on top of that. But got it fixed. Now we're back. What have I been doing? Uh,
literally focusing on, on just redoing the room. Cause I don't have anything plugged
in. My computer's like not working. I had to bust out this equipment just to get it
(00:53):
set up for today. Um, so I haven't been playing games. Um, just focus on the work and the
gym and meal prepping has been a big part. It takes a lot of time, man. When you like
start focusing on the actual meals, it takes a lot of time and it kind of sucks. I need
(01:16):
to cut back on the, on the time I'm spending on being healthy cause it's, it's draining
me. It's not going to be, um, I can't keep it up if I can just keep doing a hundred percent
of this, but what about you? It's an axolotl on the pink stairs. Um, I've actually fucking
(01:38):
finished a shit ton of books, four books or four books. You're like 10.01% chant, uh,
like book readers. Yeah. Well, it's not even, no, I don't think it's like that. It's like
top 50% when you read five books, I think. Oh, five books. I know one book is already
like one book. No, no, no. One book is 50%. Okay. Okay. And then I think five books is
(02:01):
20% top 20, but yeah, dude. Um, Dan, so it gets like, once you start getting into like
the, that the statistics, a lot of people read books once they start reading books.
Yeah. And I see there's a, there's a big debate is audio book listening to an audio book is
reading a book. I think it is. There's people that say it isn't, I think it is. Um, but
(02:26):
that's like a whole nother debate. Um, tipping point is cool. Don't agree with all the things
that he said, but the thing I respect about Malcolm Gladwell is like when he's wrong,
he admits he's wrong and he apologizes for it. That takes a lot. Not a lot of people
do that. So that's cool. Um, to your utopia, it's like a short story collection, science
(02:50):
fiction. It's mostly based on AI, but there are other elements. Like there's this one
about a marriage. I was like, dang, that shit is fucking cool as fuck. They can make that
into a Netflix show where that's like, and then the eyes, the eyes are the best part,
which is a horror film about this girl who just has a craving for human eyes, like eats
(03:13):
them. Yeah. Yeah. That surprised me because she actually eats, eats them. I know. Holy
shit. When that happens, like halfway in the book, I'm like, Whoa, like a collection. I
understand eating. Nah, that's too much. Yeah. So what was the fourth book? I don't remember.
Oh, I saw the movie. So these books, I wanted to make book talk reviews, but I lazy piece
(03:39):
of shit. Um, which is funny because you know, Tik Tok got banned for like a day and I actually
went to red note and I started, I post a lot on red note. I'm getting a fucking, I'm getting
pretty, but it's mostly cats, cat videos. I'm only posting cat videos. I'm posting a shit
time. Man, some dude was talking shit on me, dude, like a Chinese dude. I was like, man,
(04:03):
how fucking real? The thing is like, I don't know. Cause I can't tell if they're jokingly
saying yeah, or they're seriously saying it. So I don't know. They like, they liked the
video. So I'm thinking it's a joke, but I can't tell. So, well, I mean, there's individual
people. I doubt it. Like it's like a group. It's just individuals who find it weird probably
(04:29):
I don't know. Yeah. But it's, it is a very, just being on red note was very damn, this
is like a fucking deep topic because let's talk about it. It's so I don't. So project
hill Mary is a book that I like, right? Yeah. There's a Chinese, there's a Chinese astronaut
(04:50):
and there's a Russian astronaut that's in the book. And usually you like the way Western
people, I need to make a red note of this, but Western, they portrayed them as kind of
cold and just emotionless. And I'm like, looking through Chinese red note, I'm like, damn dude,
these guys are really fucking funny. Like they have personality and I'm like, it's not
(05:14):
the way the West portrayed it. And I'm just like, yeah, now I have like when I was reading
project hair Mary, I didn't see any problem with it. But after seeing red note and like
thinking back, damn dude, West, West really portrays China as really like, I don't know.
I want to say the enemy, but just like as cold, emotionless and damn looking at red
(05:38):
note, these like reading some of the comments that they put on my red note, I'm like, man,
these guys have fuck, they're funny, dude. They're fucking hilarious. They're, their
means are almost the same as ours. Are they posting, are they commenting in English or
is it, does it have a, okay. And it has a translation. Yeah. Which is funny. Cause when
I was making the red notes, I was using a program to translate my using AI, but then
(06:01):
like the free trial ran out and I was like, oh fuck. And then like, it's funny because
red note implemented a translation thing on their thing. So now I was, I'm using that.
Okay. And it's cool. Okay. And yeah, their book talk is totally different. Like I always,
I mean, I knew that they read, but I didn't know like to what extent they read and just
(06:23):
doing research on it. Some things are censored, but it's not really that much censored. Okay.
And they read a lot more classics. So I'm like, oh shit. Like they can read 1984. It's
censored a little bit, but it's still 1984. But yeah, one, one video that blew up is I
was talking about the three body problem, which is made by a Chinese guy and they're
(06:46):
like, Oh shit, you read it. I was like, no, I even said in a video, I'm not going to read
this anytime soon because I don't want to read a series. Cause then I had to read the
whole series. I don't want to read. Yeah. You can't just like leave it. I mean I could,
but I don't want to do that. I think it's, it's funny cause there's the opposite too.
Like the way we are portrayed in China, you know, I know what they think. No dude, the
(07:10):
comment that really fucking hit me was like, you guys think, no, you guys do have a freedom
of opinion, but you really don't have freedom of choice. I was like, Holy shit. And like,
I don't think Americans really think about it. Like, like how deep it is because if you
(07:30):
were like, for example, glasses, like these glasses, your glasses is probably made by
the same company. There's only four, there's only four companies that make, but there's
one major one, like one super conglomerate. It's like Scottica. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm
just like, dang the oligarchy, man. All I want is to buy cheap glasses. I bought these
for 30 bucks. I'm okay. I'm just like, bro, but it's true. Like, like what, what is it?
(07:56):
A lot of like the, um, the products that clean teeth are all owned by like one company pretty
much like food products. Yeah. It feels like you have choices, but like it's all within
that company. Like you're making money for that company. Even if you're buying, you know,
one thing versus another, it's all part of the same company. Like I've known this, but
like you don't really think about it. Yeah. You don't really think about it. And then
(08:19):
also to me, there's nothing I can do about it. Like I'm not going to just change the
world myself. I don't mean I could try, but that's too much like effort for me. So I don't
do, I don't even think about it. So I post a lot on red note. Damn. And I want to repost
on tick tock as well. No, I don't post on tick tock. I mean like tick tock, I like I'll
(08:41):
post randomly like, Oh, this is something American audience would get. Cause if I posted
the, the don't hug me, I'm scared thing that I recently made Chinese people aren't going
to know what that is. I don't know if they even know what that is. I mean, you can risk
it, check it out, but no, you know what I noticed about red note is there are a lot
more strict, like my, sometimes my videos is, I think it's, I don't know if it's because
(09:06):
it's book talk. When I'm talking about books, it gets reviewed before it gets finalized.
But you haven't had anything actually blocked. No. Okay. Okay. Nothing blocked. Yeah. So
I was like, shit, but way more. I mean, I gained traction on red note. Like if I post
on, on tick tock, I get a lot of views and likes, no follows red notes different, but
(09:32):
also in on Western, we, we sexualize a lot of things. And that's something that they're
pretty sexual man. Like to be honest, like their comments are kind of like, right. But
like, I mean, it's one thing to speak it. It's another thing to like show. And like,
when I look at tick tock, there's eventually like, there's like a video of like a girl
(09:54):
that's like trying to be super sexy. And like, that's one thing that, that I feel like when
red, red note came out or not came out, but when we all hopped in over to red note, they,
they spoke like a lot about, they're like, man, you guys like sexual, like the video
content is sexualized. Like it's crazy. What's funny is when people were migrating to it,
(10:19):
there's a lot of videos of Americans showing their guns. It is just, it's funny. Like then
the comments would be like a cat, like, no, please don't shoot me. I won't steal your
data. Oh my gosh. Like this is funny, dude. Yeah. I like, I like red book, red note, but
tick tock is back. So yeah. And then the last book I'm thinking of ending things. I liked
(10:42):
it. It's just, I've seen it done before. So it wasn't like, I guess it's weird. Like I've
seen that concept of it done before, but not really in that way, but there's a movie for
it and it's on Netflix. And I was like, Oh shit, let me watch the movie. And it's directed
by Charlie Kaufman. And I'm like, dang, I've never seen, I, he's worn a lot of awards.
(11:05):
I've never seen any of his film. And I was looking at his film titles like, Oh, I've
seen eternal spotless of the sunshine wine. Like I, yeah, I've seen one of his films and
it's fucking weird. Like it's fucking, the book is weird. The movie is like way weirder.
He made it fucking weird. Cause you know, like an eternal sunshine, sunshine, it gets
(11:27):
kind of weird towards the end. Right. It gets fucking weird. It's different though, because
in the book, when I was reading it, I had this feeling of, I couldn't put the book down.
Like it took me two days to finish it. I'm not saying it's the best book I read, but
I just, man, I needed to know. It's funny because I know, I know the twist plot twist,
(11:48):
but I still wanted to see how it was done. Right. And reading the book, it gave me the
sense of dread, but the movie didn't give me that. But there's some cool like moments
in the movie that was like really fucking cool. Like the way they dropped the hints
of the twist, they're like, you know, the mom's talking is like, yeah, dude, it was,
(12:11):
you know, when we threw a birthday party for your 50th birthday, no one showed up. And
then the guy's girlfriend's like 50th birthday. He's, oh, I mean, 20th, 20th. And that's like
a clue. I'm like, oh, this is so like the way to drop the clues is so much better. And
it, ah, man, it wasn't in the movie. So she keeps on getting this phone call and she looks
(12:32):
at the phone number and she's like, oh, that's odd. It's my own phone number. And in the
movie, they don't say that she just gets a call. I'm like, oh, come on, man. Come on,
man. But in the movie ending is kind of like, it's not definitive. The book ending kind
of says this is what happened. So then that we onto the fifth book. I'm halfway done with
(12:56):
the fifth book. We go 10 books, man. But we're going harder than 10. But you did, you did
four in a one month. Yeah. One month in a week or two. I did one book in two days, dude.
I couldn't put the I'm thinking of ending things. I could not put it down. I'm not saying
it was good. I mean, it was good, but it wasn't great. But I just couldn't put it down. But
(13:20):
that's what I like. Like there's also like animes that I'll watch that like it's not
good. But like the content for me, it's like it speaks to me. And it's just like, I just,
you know, all of a sudden I watched like the whole thing in two days, you know, half and
half. But I found out some news. Taika Waititi's next film. He's going to he's going to win
(13:43):
an Oscar. It's a long time ago when we had the podcast or when we did the podcast, I
said this is the best piece of fiction I read that year. It's like two or three years ago.
There's a book called Claire and the Sun is being made to a movie. What Taika Waititi
and the girl who plays Wednesday Adams. Yeah. I don't know her name. I yeah, I know. You're
(14:05):
right. She's going to win an Oscar. Claire. That's the one where it's a no game designer
is a. Oh, it's a it's a girl. She's dying. And then they buy her a companion and the
campaign. Oh, it's Amy Adams is going to win. She plays a mother. She's going to win an
(14:25):
Oscar like, dude, like you can't fuck this up like like.
These were our movies. What is it? I don't know the release date, but Bong Ju Ho. Oh,
yeah. Yeah. Is is doing Mickey 17. I think it's called. Yeah. I'm excited for that one.
(14:46):
That's a book, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's a dude. Yeah. But I'm excited to see what
he does, because obviously his his last movie is pretty damn good movie. Parasite was pretty
good. So I have a feeling it's not a feeling. It's just like it's a hope that this one's
(15:08):
going to be good, too. I saw the trailer for Megan 2.0. The trailer is whatever. But when
I read the storyline on all like, fuck, they they're not going to fuck this up. It's Terminator
2. Oh, shit. So in Megan 1, she's the bad guy, right? Yeah. And in this one, there's
another A.I. But the A.I. is like a war machine and it gets loose. And then they're like,
(15:30):
we can't stop her. What do we do? Use Megan to stop her so she becomes a good guy. I'm
like, that's fucking sick, dude. That's this is Terminator 2. Megan's like the doll. Yeah.
This is Terminator 2. I was like, holy shit, that's a cool storyline. That's so funny.
I think that's cool. And then they release a trailer for Final Destination. I'm excited
(15:52):
for that because the way they the directors got to make the movies, they fake the zoom
call where they fake their own death. And that's how they got the job. So the trailer
is like kind of disgusting. Oh, no. It's about tattooing. It's a tattoo. It's a tattoo slash
(16:14):
piercing. Yeah. So it's good. You know, like people like, oh, I'm never going to drive
behind a log cabin that maybe not get tattoos. Yeah. What is it? Because, yeah, Final Destination
4 was the last one that came out or five? I think five. Five. Yeah. And that one, I
think, ended that whole series one through five because it kind of like looped it back
(16:39):
around and people said that that was really cool that it did that. It's Tony Todd's last.
Yeah. So next one, Final Destination. And you said, I think there's one releasing tomorrow.
Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park rated R. But supposedly they're going to make it a horror
film. So that's what I'm excited about. With blue. Oh, it's like everybody. It's like a
(17:05):
brand. It's like brand new, man. Like they're like re redoing it. This most recent one,
uh, Jurassic Park Worlds, I think it was called. Um, I don't know that that like because they
always go like the the let's let's make something different. And then it's like, no, dude, use
existing dinosaurs. Don't just randomly created dinosaur. I don't like that. I didn't like
(17:29):
that. But I still enjoyed it. But I think it could be better. Um, Oscars happened or
not. Oscar's Grammys. You watched it. I watched parts of it. I didn't watch it. I was at the
gym. The biggest thing that surprised me, Kaisa not. Oh, yeah. Being at the at the.
(17:55):
Yeah, that was crazy. I saw him in a key flavor there. And what surprised me, like, I understand,
like he's living his own life. There's things he doesn't know that, like, I feel like we're
being more aware of because we watch him, but he doesn't realize how big he is. And
when when certain celebrities see him and they're like, you know who I am, like, that's
(18:18):
crazy. It's like, no, bro. Like, it's crazy if they don't know who you are right now.
So I think it's really cool, though. I think it's really cool. I mean, I think I if people
question why he should be there, I don't think that should be a question because he brings
in musical guests. But I mean, well, the thing is, there's people that don't know anything
(18:39):
about Kaisa. So they don't even know what he does, like how how he's famous. So in that
sense, I understand the question that they're asking. But yeah, I don't. To me, he's like.
He's like Jay Leno for young kids. Yeah. But he brings in celebrities. He has a talk show,
but it's like a variety show. But the young kids will be like, who's that guy? You know,
(19:04):
it's still like it just depends on who they are and like how they receive their information.
What is it? This song.
Fuck, man. Kanye West going uninvited. Oh, yeah. His his wife.
I don't know. I feel like that was just a stunt, dude, a stunt that he planned and it
(19:30):
didn't go well. I mean, well, I guess it's going well where everyone's talking about
him. But I don't know what he put his idea was. He's he's crazy, man. I know. I know.
It's crazy because like, you know what I think happens to him is like, I think he gets like
a like an episode of mental breakdown. And I think his phone is not taken away from 95
(19:58):
percent of the time. But before the Grammys, he just went on a Twitter ad like just crazy
shit. And I think that's when he got his phone. That's five percent. He was tweeting. But
it got buried because the Lakers acquired Luca Donchich. That was a crazy trade. That's
fucking crazy, dude. For video people who play video games, that's like trading Mario
(20:22):
from Nintendo for like. Fucking Spyro from PlayStation, like not even a number one place
in character is that's it's fucking crazy, dude. Yeah, it got very. But he went on a
fucking rant. It's crazy. What else was? Oh, no, the thing that was really disrespectful
(20:46):
was Babyface and Chapel Rowan. You didn't see what happened. I didn't see what happened.
And I will I will play. We won't get flagged for it, but I will play what the fuck happened.
It's so even did Babyface disrespect Chapel Rowan. No. OK. So this is Babyface getting
interviewed. They are fucking destroying the people who are the interviewees. That's fucked.
(21:23):
I don't care. Even if it wasn't Babyface, that's really fucked up. You're interviewing
someone. Oh, Chapel Chapel. Oh, you want to do that one? OK. But Babyface's reaction,
he's like, what didn't they're talking about? He's a nice organ like. Dude, the amount of
OK did man. I'm going to say something crazy for it. Go for it. I don't know how long
(21:49):
Chapel's legacy will last. Babyface, I think is going to outlast her. This guy's still
winning. He fucking is winning Grammys for SZA. Like he still writes crazy songs, wrote
songs for Fall Out Boy. Man, I was like, I think that shows like what we put like things
(22:12):
on a pedestal. Like if you're a writer, like a famous writer, people don't necessarily
care for you. They care about the person who's singing it, singing it or the person who's
showing it like the director gets more, you know, love than the actual script writer.
You know, like the chaperone gets more love than Babyface because Babyface is a writer
and people don't like. I think that's what people don't know. I mean, that could be true.
(22:37):
But like it just shows that like people don't care about that. That part of it, like that's
all background behind the scenes. And they're like, no, it's just chaperones, the singer.
They're more famous than so. Let's interview. I mean, I'm going to put my foot in my mouth.
But Babyface, however many Grammys he has, probably will have more Grammys than Chaperone
will ever have. No, yeah, I agree with you. But like it's just like kind of reality. That's
(23:01):
just how we see things. So if fucking sucks. Yeah. I mean, that's just that's just that's
just even if it wasn't Babyface, that's disrespectful. Like, yeah, anyone, anyone like if you're
interviewing them and all of a sudden like, oh, hold on, Chaperone, please. Yeah. Or just
calling any other, you know, person that's considered more famous, I guess, is messed
(23:23):
up. To me, Babyface is one of the best songwriters ever, ever, ever. Do you guys this guy made
Fall Out Boy was so impressed with Babyface's R&B. They're like, hey, make some pop rock
songs for us. He's made two hits for fucking Fall Out Boy. And they're really good. So
Fall Out Boy, thanks for the memories. The lawyer song is one he wrote. So good. It is
(23:51):
what it is. It is what it is. But then there's people like you preaching it. So it's fine.
Man, that's so disrespectful. It is. It is. But what else was there? It's a shit political
shit that happened. There is there is. Do you OK? Wait, we'll talk kind of like politics
(24:15):
side because it deals with video games. Do you think console prices will go up? Yes.
25 percent, 10 percent. I mean, I know Mexico. We made a deal with Mexico. So the tariffs
are not a month. I don't know about the news for China. Did we do a deal with them? I don't
(24:39):
know. So if right now, if it's still 25 percent, yeah, it's going to go up like probably over
25 percent. So Nintendo Switches will be expensive. Yeah, it is. But I mean, see, that's the thing,
though. So Nintendo supposedly has already made so many consoles like it's ready to sell.
They have like a shit ton of socks so that there's no chance of it like going out of
(25:03):
stock. But do they increase their prices even though everything was bought at a lower price?
Like how does that I mean? Like I feel logistically for a business, it makes sense to increase
your prices because like you're going to have to have that money for later uses anyways.
But like as a consumer, that fucking sucks. I mean, fucking resellers piss me off. And
(25:26):
just looking at the whole Pokemon situation, there was some guy on Twitter made a cool
solution to reselling prices of Nintendo Switches. He said, make sure whoever wants to buy a
Nintendo Switch, they have a Nintendo account. Problem solved, problem fucking solved, buddy.
(25:47):
You'll sell your consoles and you'll sell it to the people who want them. Problem solved.
The thing is, like, I don't know, as a business, I feel like they want the resellers because
like they want to sell their product. I disagree because the Wii was so hard to come by. And
(26:07):
but right now, so that's an awkward situation where like Nintendo again has like, supposedly
like a million units ready for sale right now of the Nintendo Switch two. Like, I don't
know, they have to get rid of it because it's scary. Like you might not sell all your units,
you know, if you're making that many units. Oh, they're going to sell. I'm not going to
(26:30):
buy. I can guarantee you will. You'll be the only one. It'll be like, what was it? The
game Nio? I was like that that day I was like, I'm not going to put her games ever again.
And then like all the reviews for now were like really good. I'm like, I need to get
my Nio. So then I looked around and everyone was sold out, dude. I found one in L.A. a
(26:56):
GameStop. I call them. They're like, it's here. We'll put your name on it. I get there. And
they're like, I don't know who did this, but this is a preorder from someone else. So they
call the guy and the guy is like, yeah, you could just sell it to him. And they sold it
to me. But I was like, I fucked up. But yeah, I was like, if that guy would have like said
no or wanted to pick it up, I'd be like, damn it. I don't have literally can't pick up this
(27:18):
game. You know, yeah, I drove all the way to L.A. to get that shit. All right. You heard
it here first. He says he's not getting a switch to. We'll see. We'll see. I won't even
have time to play it. We'll see. Two weeks and I haven't played any. We'll see. I know.
We'll see. Monster Hunter is coming out. Oh, yeah. That's it. I'm on my PS5 that you don't
(27:41):
have monster. I'm done with Monster Hunter. What's the most? What's the game that
it's coming out? I mean, within like a one year span that you're excited for.
I need to see what's coming out. Fuck. Well, because I mean, again, you said you're done
with Monster Hunter. I probably won't play it, but I kind of want to get Doom Eternal
(28:05):
or do. Yeah. The new one. Like Dark Ages, Dark Ages. I mean, Gears of War is coming
out for PS5. Done with Gears. Damn. You should be like number one. Yeah, but it's like
outdated. Like things need to improve. Like it's like me saying like, oh, Halo is cool.
Halo is cool at the time. It's just I'm curious. Because like I've never played the
(28:28):
franchise like years away. I've never like owned an Xbox pretty much. So I wonder if
if like if I play it, it would it wouldn't feel that way just because I've never
actually really got to play it. I don't I played it. I think I played three with you
on the multiplayer. And then that's when I learned like you fucking wall bounce.
(28:51):
It's crazy because the only game that really is old in doing new things is
Fortnite. It's crazy. Like I still want to go back to Fortnite. Damn. I need to
still be I need to get Godzilla. But that's games as a service, though.
True. It is. You won't get that with like, you know, single player or not
(29:13):
single player games, but like games where they make it and then just kind of forget
it. Yeah. What am I excited for?
Bellaccia. Oh, slight aspire to maybe which I don't I'm still on the fence of
going to Pax Boston. It's like it's like too late to get a hotel now. So I am
(29:37):
going to have to like Airbnb it like if I do go. I'm doing it. I want to go
because I've never been to Boston. So the thing that's kind of holding me back, I
guess, is because I don't know if work will let me take the day off because we
have we got deadlines and the day that it happens is like on the deadline. So
(29:59):
maybe if I finish early, I don't know. I don't know, man.
So the only thing that sucks about my job is the deadlines.
For this year, I have Vans work tour.
It's coming back and I've never gone to a Vans work tour, so I'm going to this one.
(30:19):
Kendrick, I'm tight for Kendrick.
The tickets are still expensive.
Tickets are going to go crazy once the Super Bowl happens.
Oh, yeah. Like, oh, Super Bowl commercials.
Predictions, maybe I know one video game.
What is that doesn't need it, but they have the money to do it and it would fucking
be is it Nintendo? No.
(30:41):
OK. The most anticipated game.
The next game that's going to have a midnight release party in the heat and the heat is
on all night to the three in the morning.
Welcome to Miami.
Hey, you know, GTA six.
Dude, imagine if the welcome to the heart of the heat is on.
So I agree that it doesn't need it.
But the thing is, like, people need a reminder.
(31:04):
Yes. You know, people need a reminder.
That's perfect.
It's perfect. Welcome to Miami.
Do you think? I wonder because it'd be cool if they somehow like
merge the way like the how the Super Bowl is happening into the commercial.
So it looks like literally like almost real life.
(31:25):
Like, hey, this is your bowl and then it like this would be crazy
if they have a Kendrick song and it looks like it's a halftime show.
It zooms out exactly.
Yeah, dude.
That's what I'm talking about.
Football team in San Andreas.
Like, yeah, dude, everyone just hyper taste 16.
(31:48):
I don't think they're going to do it, but they should.
Like, I don't know. We'll see.
The memes I see in the comments are like, that's crazy.
We get this before GTA six.
We get the Super Bowl commercial.
I don't.
Nintendo would never do a commercial for Super Bowl.
It's not their style.
Like they could change it up.
I switched to commercial, which is funny because I was watching a tick tock
(32:12):
and the guy was saying, Dan, does anyone remember this game?
And it's Dante's Inferno.
And I was like, fuck, I remember I had a Super Bowl commercial.
Fifteen million dollars.
That fucking game for a commercial for a game that trash.
Yeah. And I remember because I think Foley was with me.
He's like, he's like, oh, they use this song and they know sunshine in the rain.
(32:33):
And I'm like, fuck.
I mean, it looked it was a cool looking commercial.
Yeah. The game was do do.
They thought they were the next God of War.
It looked like a God of War game.
When I was watching the commercials, I go, shit.
I think Gears of War had a Super Bowl commercial as well, which is crazy.
I think Halo had a Super Bowl commercial,
(32:54):
which are two games that succeeded.
Yeah. What else was there?
I just thought there was a lot of movie commercial.
What other ones are you excited for?
We know the Jurassic Park is coming out tomorrow.
Well, by the time this episode releases, it'll already be out.
There's a lot that's coming out.
I'm clearing the sun.
(33:14):
Take away. Titi is not going to have a commercial, but
that that movie I'm super high for.
Oh, they show. Oh, I didn't see the commercial.
I seen pictures. Fantastic Four.
I don't. So I don't know if it's good or not.
I didn't see the commercial, but damn, Marvel Rivals is killing it.
Multi versus dying. I know, dude.
That sucks.
(33:35):
I mean, they're going to have the offline mode.
Yeah. So just download it and keep it downloaded.
Yeah, that sucks.
That sucks. Marvel Rivals is thriving.
Riven. Yeah, it's doing good.
Which, I mean, I'm glad there's a game that can like
(33:55):
succeed in today's society.
And what's surprising me is like the movies didn't do it.
But the rivals is doing is bringing kids to comic book
comic book shops are fucking thriving right now.
People are buying comics because of Marvel Rivals.
And I'm like, I never in a million years would I have thought that.
So it's crazy.
So like now, like the idea is like you can release
(34:18):
like unknown characters into this game and kids will be like,
I want to know more about this character.
Let me go buy books. The costumes.
Like, oh, this costume came in this issue.
Let me go buy this. Yeah.
It's like, fuck, dude, this is crazy.
That's actually kind of cool.
Movies could the movies couldn't do it.
It was a game.
Well, because the thing is, the game you're playing as a character.
(34:39):
So like the story, you're creating it.
But like in the movie, you're seeing a story that already exists on,
like on the screen.
Why do you need to know more?
The movie tells you the story.
The thing would that that does annoy me because I, you know,
I'm not into the comic book scene anymore, but like there'll be a costume.
And then people won't actually this costume comes from issue.
(35:00):
Like, oh, my God.
You just explain in the costume.
Well, actually, this is this is.
Who do you think the because the most recent characters were fantastic for?
I think the next setup is going to be the thing and the torch human torch.
(35:22):
What do you think the next ones will be?
Or like, not who do you think, but like, who do you think the best one
characters that they should release next could be a group individual?
Oh, Deadpool's not in there.
No, I think you'd be hilarious.
Deadpool. What do you think?
Like he looks at the game, breaks a fourth wall.
(35:43):
Come on, man. But I haven't I haven't played the game, so I know there's
ultimates. I don't know how they like play with each other.
But what do you think an ultimate for Deadpool should be?
And since he could break the fourth wall, it would have to be something with fourth
wall or he could teleport to so like he like does like a blinding move for like
(36:03):
every enemy.
So like the literally like the people playing can't see the screen or he in the
complex, he's in love with death.
He could summon death and death kills like maybe like everyone on screen to death.
Yeah, like if they're behind like a vehicle, it doesn't count.
But like if it's visible to like Deadpool's vision, it'll like instantly kill him.
(36:24):
Yeah, maybe cool.
I think people were saying Thanos might possibly be the next one.
I think that was a good idea, too.
Yeah, but I think Danos.
I mean, what's crazy is so Hulk.
So I guess Hulk is kind of like cloak and dagger.
You start off as a huge as Bruce Banner.
(36:45):
Yeah, there are people high rank.
Your your goal, your main goal is to change into Hulk.
Yeah, they don't change the Hulk.
They just play as they mean.
Bruce Banner, they fucking are high rank.
I'm like, God, you're fucking good if you're like you're going to be the next one.
You're like you're like playing with like there's like fighting between like different players because someone feels like we could do better if you change to God damn the Hulk.
(37:10):
That's crazy.
I kind of want to just ask you see is good.
Yeah, because like people are you know, chat can be they're like, you're only good because you're getting carried.
He random random ranked matches reached the top.
He's like, what now?
(37:31):
What now? I did this fucking solo.
What now?
Dude, and people were talking are like shitty players probably.
Yeah, I mean, it's just chat like the way the way I see chat is like one individual person and they've never played any game in their life.
You know, that's how I see them.
So like if they talk shit, I'll respond to it because obviously I need content.
(37:56):
But it doesn't doesn't affect me.
It reminds me of a chatter who's never done below level four.
I'm like, bro, like don't talk.
He's never done this.
It's very different from a normal run.
You can't use the same strategy.
I had a chatter too.
That was like you're doing everything wrong.
(38:18):
And I even invited him to a call.
He showed me like the news he was talking about.
I tried it wasn't working.
I'm like, it's not going to work, dude.
And yeah, he just stopped.
But for me, it was content like I didn't care.
Like you can tell me everything you want to do and I'll try it.
(38:40):
Like it's just content for me.
But it was good times, good times.
I'm trying to do some life hacks right here.
Have you got have you heard of the built credit card?
Yes.
That's the card where you can use it like as a check or like a direct cash.
And so you can pay for your apartments.
Yes.
I want to pay for rent and get points.
(39:02):
I don't want to pay for rent and get nothing.
Yeah.
So I don't know if I because I feel like it's they're going to take away that.
Well, it's been it's been going on for a long time now.
I think like more than six years, seven years, maybe longer.
But yeah, I've never taken advantage of it.
But I know a coworker that uses built and like dudes hardcore on the credit card points.
(39:28):
It's funny because like I was watching Tick Tock.
So the guy was saying it's so the one negative is owned by Wells Fargo.
Yeah.
And he was saying like Wells Fargo is losing 10 million dollars a month because of built.
So I'm like, I want it.
But then I'm like, how long are they sustainable?
Because in built mentality, they thought, oh, people are going to use this as your main credit card and accumulate so much credit card debt.
(39:54):
But people are not doing that.
People are using who are using built.
Yeah, are smart money savvy.
And so they're like making sure it's all paid off and like, yeah, yeah.
That's funny.
I'm just like, damn.
But I mean, that's the majority of credit cards that they're hoping that everyone just goes into debt and can't pay it off.
And then they'll never pay it off. Welcome to America.
(40:19):
Well, we live in debt.
I mean, like it happens with car loans.
Yeah. Like people will just like stack up car loans and be like, it's only like 200, 300 dollars a month.
But you do that like for six cars, bro.
That's not cheap, man.
The interest or they don't even see it as like as like a 60 dollar loan.
(40:41):
They see it as like, oh, this is a 200 dollar loan a month.
Like it's cheap. I can afford $200.
Yeah. For the rest of your life, dude, like you know what's crazy is the CEO is probably a white supremacist, but I want to tell you how he is a white supremacist.
But go for the what's the other car?
(41:02):
The next best electric electric cars like BMW, the Rivian.
I think we're even only does trucks, though.
I mean, the thing is, because my workplace has the chargers, so I would just have free fucking.
Oh, yeah.
Electricity and you can charge it while you're working, because one of the issues is like people don't charge it enough.
(41:23):
So they'll they'll be stuck somewhere randomly and just like not have enough charges to get to somewhere, you know.
But as long as like you have a spot.
But I mean that like then you kind of lock yourself in there because you don't want to leave anymore, you know, like that is true.
And that's that's probably one of the reasons the electricity locked in for life.
(41:47):
But I mean, yeah, pretty much free gas for you.
As long as you drive within the city.
I mean, you could go to Vegas, but I think you need a couple of charges.
At least two. How many miles is it from here to Vegas?
And I don't know.
Four hundred around four hundred. I think it's a little under four hundred.
(42:10):
You need one charge.
Like the thing is, people don't charge it 100 percent.
So like they charge it like 60, 70 percent and then move on.
And it'll tell him like, oh, like you can make it to this charging station.
So they always charge like once, twice, maybe even three times, depending.
They don't always charge full percent and go all the way.
(42:31):
They don't let it like drain like the car doesn't even let you drain it all the way.
It'll tell you warnings and stuff, even like when it's 100 percent.
I'll be like, oh, if you're driving here, you can only go this far.
So you better charge before that. I just wish we had self-driving cars by now.
I just want to sleep. I mean, you can do with the Tesla.
I know.
(42:54):
I mean, there's they have safety safety features so that you're not sleeping at the wheel,
but there's ways around it. So yeah, it's possible.
It's possible.
But yeah, I think right now you can buy like a second hand Tesla like way cheaper than a standard car.
So maybe do that.
(43:15):
And I don't need I don't need one. So not yet.
Cheap and go cheap.
Free electricity stuck for life.
I mean, you wouldn't be stuck for life, but it'd be a major like benefit to staying at this company.
Yeah, stuck for life.
(43:36):
You got anything else?
Over back ago, you made a prediction that something crazy is going to happen in the beginning.
Has that shit happened yet or we're still waiting for it?
Because a lot of crazy shit has happened.
I feel like it probably happened.
It happened already. Yeah.
(43:58):
OK. Yeah. Because I mean, there's been a lot of decisions, I think, up until today, pretty much decisions are still being made.
And it's it's crazy to me.
I don't know. There's so much going on.
How much?
Who is going to be a bumpy ride for more years?
We may not be in debt anymore, though.
(44:22):
I don't know. Well, I mean, it's not instantaneous, but the route it's going will be in another debt.
Hmm. Different debt.
Hmm. Are you going to go to?
Wondercon? Yeah, I'll go. Saturday.
Only Saturday. Yeah, only one day.
(44:44):
Yes. Even though that's the one we can go like multiple days because close by.
Twitchcon? That's in Vegas, San Diego.
San Diego. I can do San Diego.
I'm assuming not PAX West East.
I kind of want to go both.
I'm down for one. So if you want to do either the Boston or the West, I'm down for either one.
(45:12):
I'm leaning towards Boston because I've never been. So, yeah, I got to talk to my boss.
Damn, I don't know.
They'll say yes. That's the thing that worries me.
Fuck.
Damn, I want to go. Fuck, dude. I haven't been to Boston, dude.
The fuck? Yeah, I only thing I've had and it's not even in Boston is Boston Market.
(45:37):
Hmm. The chicken.
The food. What is Boston known for? I don't know.
Actually, my sister went there. I have a Boston T-shirt.
Hmm. She went to the school there.
Boston baked beans.
No, that's Bush's baked beans.
(46:00):
I know Boston's food scene is good, but I don't know what they're known for.
Huh. We have the Southern Fried Chicken.
We have Louisiana. I don't know. Boston Market has the chicken as well.
So maybe chicken. No, I don't know. I'm being sarcastic.
(46:21):
Pax East. I hope they have Slayd Aspire.
If you got nothing else, I think we'll call it here.
Yeah. All right. Back. We're back.
The next next episode will be back to normal.
This one was kind of like I had to put everything together, so we kind of just wanted to put something.
(46:43):
But the next one will be back to normal.
And thank you guys for listening. Catch you on the next one. Peace.
a tick tock up man. Oh shit. No, it's a bag. Hey, we're back. We're back. We're back. No,
(00:08):
but welcome everyone to another episode of the weekly DLC. We took a little break because
the place that we record was getting remodeled. The studio, my room, uh, was being remodeled.
I had like water damage and I guess it was worse than I thought. It was really bad when
they took out the floorboards and stuff. And it was done on concrete, which is not supposed
(00:32):
to be the thing. Like you're supposed to put like wood, a basement of wood and then put
everything on top of that. But got it fixed. Now we're back. What have I been doing? Uh,
literally focusing on, on just redoing the room. Cause I don't have anything plugged
in. My computer's like not working. I had to bust out this equipment just to get it
(00:53):
set up for today. Um, so I haven't been playing games. Um, just focus on the work and the
gym and meal prepping has been a big part. It takes a lot of time, man. When you like
start focusing on the actual meals, it takes a lot of time and it kind of sucks. I need
(01:16):
to cut back on the, on the time I'm spending on being healthy cause it's, it's draining
me. It's not going to be, um, I can't keep it up if I can just keep doing a hundred percent
of this, but what about you? It's an axolotl on the pink stairs. Um, I've actually fucking
(01:38):
finished a shit ton of books, four books or four books. You're like 10.01% chant, uh,
like book readers. Yeah. Well, it's not even, no, I don't think it's like that. It's like
top 50% when you read five books, I think. Oh, five books. I know one book is already
like one book. No, no, no. One book is 50%. Okay. Okay. And then I think five books is
(02:01):
20% top 20, but yeah, dude. Um, Dan, so it gets like, once you start getting into like
the, that the statistics, a lot of people read books once they start reading books.
Yeah. And I see there's a, there's a big debate is audio book listening to an audio book is
reading a book. I think it is. There's people that say it isn't, I think it is. Um, but
(02:26):
that's like a whole nother debate. Um, tipping point is cool. Don't agree with all the things
that he said, but the thing I respect about Malcolm Gladwell is like when he's wrong,
he admits he's wrong and he apologizes for it. That takes a lot. Not a lot of people
do that. So that's cool. Um, to your utopia, it's like a short story collection, science
(02:50):
fiction. It's mostly based on AI, but there are other elements. Like there's this one
about a marriage. I was like, dang, that shit is fucking cool as fuck. They can make that
into a Netflix show where that's like, and then the eyes, the eyes are the best part,
which is a horror film about this girl who just has a craving for human eyes, like eats
(03:13):
them. Yeah. Yeah. That surprised me because she actually eats, eats them. I know. Holy
shit. When that happens, like halfway in the book, I'm like, Whoa, like a collection. I
understand eating. Nah, that's too much. Yeah. So what was the fourth book? I don't remember.
Oh, I saw the movie. So these books, I wanted to make book talk reviews, but I lazy piece
(03:39):
of shit. Um, which is funny because you know, Tik Tok got banned for like a day and I actually
went to red note and I started, I post a lot on red note. I'm getting a fucking, I'm getting
pretty, but it's mostly cats, cat videos. I'm only posting cat videos. I'm posting a shit
time. Man, some dude was talking shit on me, dude, like a Chinese dude. I was like, man,
(04:03):
how fucking real? The thing is like, I don't know. Cause I can't tell if they're jokingly
saying yeah, or they're seriously saying it. So I don't know. They like, they liked the
video. So I'm thinking it's a joke, but I can't tell. So, well, I mean, there's individual
people. I doubt it. Like it's like a group. It's just individuals who find it weird probably
(04:29):
I don't know. Yeah. But it's, it is a very, just being on red note was very damn, this
is like a fucking deep topic because let's talk about it. It's so I don't. So project
hill Mary is a book that I like, right? Yeah. There's a Chinese, there's a Chinese astronaut
(04:50):
and there's a Russian astronaut that's in the book. And usually you like the way Western
people, I need to make a red note of this, but Western, they portrayed them as kind of
cold and just emotionless. And I'm like, looking through Chinese red note, I'm like, damn dude,
these guys are really fucking funny. Like they have personality and I'm like, it's not
(05:14):
the way the West portrayed it. And I'm just like, yeah, now I have like when I was reading
project hair Mary, I didn't see any problem with it. But after seeing red note and like
thinking back, damn dude, West, West really portrays China as really like, I don't know.
I want to say the enemy, but just like as cold, emotionless and damn looking at red
(05:38):
note, these like reading some of the comments that they put on my red note, I'm like, man,
these guys have fuck, they're funny, dude. They're fucking hilarious. They're, their
means are almost the same as ours. Are they posting, are they commenting in English or
is it, does it have a, okay. And it has a translation. Yeah. Which is funny. Cause when
I was making the red notes, I was using a program to translate my using AI, but then
(06:01):
like the free trial ran out and I was like, oh fuck. And then like, it's funny because
red note implemented a translation thing on their thing. So now I was, I'm using that.
Okay. And it's cool. Okay. And yeah, their book talk is totally different. Like I always,
I mean, I knew that they read, but I didn't know like to what extent they read and just
(06:23):
doing research on it. Some things are censored, but it's not really that much censored. Okay.
And they read a lot more classics. So I'm like, oh shit. Like they can read 1984. It's
censored a little bit, but it's still 1984. But yeah, one, one video that blew up is I
was talking about the three body problem, which is made by a Chinese guy and they're
(06:46):
like, Oh shit, you read it. I was like, no, I even said in a video, I'm not going to read
this anytime soon because I don't want to read a series. Cause then I had to read the
whole series. I don't want to read. Yeah. You can't just like leave it. I mean I could,
but I don't want to do that. I think it's, it's funny cause there's the opposite too.
Like the way we are portrayed in China, you know, I know what they think. No dude, the
(07:10):
comment that really fucking hit me was like, you guys think, no, you guys do have a freedom
of opinion, but you really don't have freedom of choice. I was like, Holy shit. And like,
I don't think Americans really think about it. Like, like how deep it is because if you
(07:30):
were like, for example, glasses, like these glasses, your glasses is probably made by
the same company. There's only four, there's only four companies that make, but there's
one major one, like one super conglomerate. It's like Scottica. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm
just like, dang the oligarchy, man. All I want is to buy cheap glasses. I bought these
for 30 bucks. I'm okay. I'm just like, bro, but it's true. Like, like what, what is it?
(07:56):
A lot of like the, um, the products that clean teeth are all owned by like one company pretty
much like food products. Yeah. It feels like you have choices, but like it's all within
that company. Like you're making money for that company. Even if you're buying, you know,
one thing versus another, it's all part of the same company. Like I've known this, but
like you don't really think about it. Yeah. You don't really think about it. And then
(08:19):
also to me, there's nothing I can do about it. Like I'm not going to just change the
world myself. I don't mean I could try, but that's too much like effort for me. So I don't
do, I don't even think about it. So I post a lot on red note. Damn. And I want to repost
on tick tock as well. No, I don't post on tick tock. I mean like tick tock, I like I'll
(08:41):
post randomly like, Oh, this is something American audience would get. Cause if I posted
the, the don't hug me, I'm scared thing that I recently made Chinese people aren't going
to know what that is. I don't know if they even know what that is. I mean, you can risk
it, check it out, but no, you know what I noticed about red note is there are a lot
more strict, like my, sometimes my videos is, I think it's, I don't know if it's because
(09:06):
it's book talk. When I'm talking about books, it gets reviewed before it gets finalized.
But you haven't had anything actually blocked. No. Okay. Okay. Nothing blocked. Yeah. So
I was like, shit, but way more. I mean, I gained traction on red note. Like if I post
on, on tick tock, I get a lot of views and likes, no follows red notes different, but
(09:32):
also in on Western, we, we sexualize a lot of things. And that's something that they're
pretty sexual man. Like to be honest, like their comments are kind of like, right. But
like, I mean, it's one thing to speak it. It's another thing to like show. And like,
when I look at tick tock, there's eventually like, there's like a video of like a girl
(09:54):
that's like trying to be super sexy. And like, that's one thing that, that I feel like when
red, red note came out or not came out, but when we all hopped in over to red note, they,
they spoke like a lot about, they're like, man, you guys like sexual, like the video
content is sexualized. Like it's crazy. What's funny is when people were migrating to it,
(10:19):
there's a lot of videos of Americans showing their guns. It is just, it's funny. Like then
the comments would be like a cat, like, no, please don't shoot me. I won't steal your
data. Oh my gosh. Like this is funny, dude. Yeah. I like, I like red book, red note, but
tick tock is back. So yeah. And then the last book I'm thinking of ending things. I liked
(10:42):
it. It's just, I've seen it done before. So it wasn't like, I guess it's weird. Like I've
seen that concept of it done before, but not really in that way, but there's a movie for
it and it's on Netflix. And I was like, Oh shit, let me watch the movie. And it's directed
by Charlie Kaufman. And I'm like, dang, I've never seen, I, he's worn a lot of awards.
(11:05):
I've never seen any of his film. And I was looking at his film titles like, Oh, I've
seen eternal spotless of the sunshine wine. Like I, yeah, I've seen one of his films and
it's fucking weird. Like it's fucking, the book is weird. The movie is like way weirder.
He made it fucking weird. Cause you know, like an eternal sunshine, sunshine, it gets
(11:27):
kind of weird towards the end. Right. It gets fucking weird. It's different though, because
in the book, when I was reading it, I had this feeling of, I couldn't put the book down.
Like it took me two days to finish it. I'm not saying it's the best book I read, but
I just, man, I needed to know. It's funny because I know, I know the twist plot twist,
(11:48):
but I still wanted to see how it was done. Right. And reading the book, it gave me the
sense of dread, but the movie didn't give me that. But there's some cool like moments
in the movie that was like really fucking cool. Like the way they dropped the hints
of the twist, they're like, you know, the mom's talking is like, yeah, dude, it was,
(12:11):
you know, when we threw a birthday party for your 50th birthday, no one showed up. And
then the guy's girlfriend's like 50th birthday. He's, oh, I mean, 20th, 20th. And that's like
a clue. I'm like, oh, this is so like the way to drop the clues is so much better. And
it, ah, man, it wasn't in the movie. So she keeps on getting this phone call and she looks
(12:32):
at the phone number and she's like, oh, that's odd. It's my own phone number. And in the
movie, they don't say that she just gets a call. I'm like, oh, come on, man. Come on,
man. But in the movie ending is kind of like, it's not definitive. The book ending kind
of says this is what happened. So then that we onto the fifth book. I'm halfway done with
(12:56):
the fifth book. We go 10 books, man. But we're going harder than 10. But you did, you did
four in a one month. Yeah. One month in a week or two. I did one book in two days, dude.
I couldn't put the I'm thinking of ending things. I could not put it down. I'm not saying
it was good. I mean, it was good, but it wasn't great. But I just couldn't put it down. But
(13:20):
that's what I like. Like there's also like animes that I'll watch that like it's not
good. But like the content for me, it's like it speaks to me. And it's just like, I just,
you know, all of a sudden I watched like the whole thing in two days, you know, half and
half. But I found out some news. Taika Waititi's next film. He's going to he's going to win
(13:43):
an Oscar. It's a long time ago when we had the podcast or when we did the podcast, I
said this is the best piece of fiction I read that year. It's like two or three years ago.
There's a book called Claire and the Sun is being made to a movie. What Taika Waititi
and the girl who plays Wednesday Adams. Yeah. I don't know her name. I yeah, I know. You're
(14:05):
right. She's going to win an Oscar. Claire. That's the one where it's a no game designer
is a. Oh, it's a it's a girl. She's dying. And then they buy her a companion and the
campaign. Oh, it's Amy Adams is going to win. She plays a mother. She's going to win an
(14:25):
Oscar like, dude, like you can't fuck this up like like.
These were our movies. What is it? I don't know the release date, but Bong Ju Ho. Oh,
yeah. Yeah. Is is doing Mickey 17. I think it's called. Yeah. I'm excited for that one.
(14:46):
That's a book, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's a dude. Yeah. But I'm excited to see what
he does, because obviously his his last movie is pretty damn good movie. Parasite was pretty
good. So I have a feeling it's not a feeling. It's just like it's a hope that this one's
(15:08):
going to be good, too. I saw the trailer for Megan 2.0. The trailer is whatever. But when
I read the storyline on all like, fuck, they they're not going to fuck this up. It's Terminator
2. Oh, shit. So in Megan 1, she's the bad guy, right? Yeah. And in this one, there's
another A.I. But the A.I. is like a war machine and it gets loose. And then they're like,
(15:30):
we can't stop her. What do we do? Use Megan to stop her so she becomes a good guy. I'm
like, that's fucking sick, dude. That's this is Terminator 2. Megan's like the doll. Yeah.
This is Terminator 2. I was like, holy shit, that's a cool storyline. That's so funny.
I think that's cool. And then they release a trailer for Final Destination. I'm excited
(15:52):
for that because the way they the directors got to make the movies, they fake the zoom
call where they fake their own death. And that's how they got the job. So the trailer
is like kind of disgusting. Oh, no. It's about tattooing. It's a tattoo. It's a tattoo slash
(16:14):
piercing. Yeah. So it's good. You know, like people like, oh, I'm never going to drive
behind a log cabin that maybe not get tattoos. Yeah. What is it? Because, yeah, Final Destination
4 was the last one that came out or five? I think five. Five. Yeah. And that one, I
think, ended that whole series one through five because it kind of like looped it back
(16:39):
around and people said that that was really cool that it did that. It's Tony Todd's last.
Yeah. So next one, Final Destination. And you said, I think there's one releasing tomorrow.
Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park rated R. But supposedly they're going to make it a horror
film. So that's what I'm excited about. With blue. Oh, it's like everybody. It's like a
(17:05):
brand. It's like brand new, man. Like they're like re redoing it. This most recent one,
uh, Jurassic Park Worlds, I think it was called. Um, I don't know that that like because they
always go like the the let's let's make something different. And then it's like, no, dude, use
existing dinosaurs. Don't just randomly created dinosaur. I don't like that. I didn't like
(17:29):
that. But I still enjoyed it. But I think it could be better. Um, Oscars happened or
not. Oscar's Grammys. You watched it. I watched parts of it. I didn't watch it. I was at the
gym. The biggest thing that surprised me, Kaisa not. Oh, yeah. Being at the at the.
(17:55):
Yeah, that was crazy. I saw him in a key flavor there. And what surprised me, like, I understand,
like he's living his own life. There's things he doesn't know that, like, I feel like we're
being more aware of because we watch him, but he doesn't realize how big he is. And
when when certain celebrities see him and they're like, you know who I am, like, that's
(18:18):
crazy. It's like, no, bro. Like, it's crazy if they don't know who you are right now.
So I think it's really cool, though. I think it's really cool. I mean, I think I if people
question why he should be there, I don't think that should be a question because he brings
in musical guests. But I mean, well, the thing is, there's people that don't know anything
(18:39):
about Kaisa. So they don't even know what he does, like how how he's famous. So in that
sense, I understand the question that they're asking. But yeah, I don't. To me, he's like.
He's like Jay Leno for young kids. Yeah. But he brings in celebrities. He has a talk show,
but it's like a variety show. But the young kids will be like, who's that guy? You know,
(19:04):
it's still like it just depends on who they are and like how they receive their information.
What is it? This song.
Fuck, man. Kanye West going uninvited. Oh, yeah. His his wife.
I don't know. I feel like that was just a stunt, dude, a stunt that he planned and it
(19:30):
didn't go well. I mean, well, I guess it's going well where everyone's talking about
him. But I don't know what he put his idea was. He's he's crazy, man. I know. I know.
It's crazy because like, you know what I think happens to him is like, I think he gets like
a like an episode of mental breakdown. And I think his phone is not taken away from 95
(19:58):
percent of the time. But before the Grammys, he just went on a Twitter ad like just crazy
shit. And I think that's when he got his phone. That's five percent. He was tweeting. But
it got buried because the Lakers acquired Luca Donchich. That was a crazy trade. That's
fucking crazy, dude. For video people who play video games, that's like trading Mario
(20:22):
from Nintendo for like. Fucking Spyro from PlayStation, like not even a number one place
in character is that's it's fucking crazy, dude. Yeah, it got very. But he went on a
fucking rant. It's crazy. What else was? Oh, no, the thing that was really disrespectful
(20:46):
was Babyface and Chapel Rowan. You didn't see what happened. I didn't see what happened.
And I will I will play. We won't get flagged for it, but I will play what the fuck happened.
It's so even did Babyface disrespect Chapel Rowan. No. OK. So this is Babyface getting
interviewed. They are fucking destroying the people who are the interviewees. That's fucked.
(21:23):
I don't care. Even if it wasn't Babyface, that's really fucked up. You're interviewing
someone. Oh, Chapel Chapel. Oh, you want to do that one? OK. But Babyface's reaction,
he's like, what didn't they're talking about? He's a nice organ like. Dude, the amount of
OK did man. I'm going to say something crazy for it. Go for it. I don't know how long
(21:49):
Chapel's legacy will last. Babyface, I think is going to outlast her. This guy's still
winning. He fucking is winning Grammys for SZA. Like he still writes crazy songs, wrote
songs for Fall Out Boy. Man, I was like, I think that shows like what we put like things
(22:12):
on a pedestal. Like if you're a writer, like a famous writer, people don't necessarily
care for you. They care about the person who's singing it, singing it or the person who's
showing it like the director gets more, you know, love than the actual script writer.
You know, like the chaperone gets more love than Babyface because Babyface is a writer
and people don't like. I think that's what people don't know. I mean, that could be true.
(22:37):
But like it just shows that like people don't care about that. That part of it, like that's
all background behind the scenes. And they're like, no, it's just chaperones, the singer.
They're more famous than so. Let's interview. I mean, I'm going to put my foot in my mouth.
But Babyface, however many Grammys he has, probably will have more Grammys than Chaperone
will ever have. No, yeah, I agree with you. But like it's just like kind of reality. That's
(23:01):
just how we see things. So if fucking sucks. Yeah. I mean, that's just that's just that's
just even if it wasn't Babyface, that's disrespectful. Like, yeah, anyone, anyone like if you're
interviewing them and all of a sudden like, oh, hold on, Chaperone, please. Yeah. Or just
calling any other, you know, person that's considered more famous, I guess, is messed
(23:23):
up. To me, Babyface is one of the best songwriters ever, ever, ever. Do you guys this guy made
Fall Out Boy was so impressed with Babyface's R&B. They're like, hey, make some pop rock
songs for us. He's made two hits for fucking Fall Out Boy. And they're really good. So
Fall Out Boy, thanks for the memories. The lawyer song is one he wrote. So good. It is
(23:51):
what it is. It is what it is. But then there's people like you preaching it. So it's fine.
Man, that's so disrespectful. It is. It is. But what else was there? It's a shit political
shit that happened. There is there is. Do you OK? Wait, we'll talk kind of like politics
(24:15):
side because it deals with video games. Do you think console prices will go up? Yes.
25 percent, 10 percent. I mean, I know Mexico. We made a deal with Mexico. So the tariffs
are not a month. I don't know about the news for China. Did we do a deal with them? I don't
(24:39):
know. So if right now, if it's still 25 percent, yeah, it's going to go up like probably over
25 percent. So Nintendo Switches will be expensive. Yeah, it is. But I mean, see, that's the thing,
though. So Nintendo supposedly has already made so many consoles like it's ready to sell.
They have like a shit ton of socks so that there's no chance of it like going out of
(25:03):
stock. But do they increase their prices even though everything was bought at a lower price?
Like how does that I mean? Like I feel logistically for a business, it makes sense to increase
your prices because like you're going to have to have that money for later uses anyways.
But like as a consumer, that fucking sucks. I mean, fucking resellers piss me off. And
(25:26):
just looking at the whole Pokemon situation, there was some guy on Twitter made a cool
solution to reselling prices of Nintendo Switches. He said, make sure whoever wants to buy a
Nintendo Switch, they have a Nintendo account. Problem solved, problem fucking solved, buddy.
(25:47):
You'll sell your consoles and you'll sell it to the people who want them. Problem solved.
The thing is, like, I don't know, as a business, I feel like they want the resellers because
like they want to sell their product. I disagree because the Wii was so hard to come by. And
(26:07):
but right now, so that's an awkward situation where like Nintendo again has like, supposedly
like a million units ready for sale right now of the Nintendo Switch two. Like, I don't
know, they have to get rid of it because it's scary. Like you might not sell all your units,
you know, if you're making that many units. Oh, they're going to sell. I'm not going to
(26:30):
buy. I can guarantee you will. You'll be the only one. It'll be like, what was it? The
game Nio? I was like that that day I was like, I'm not going to put her games ever again.
And then like all the reviews for now were like really good. I'm like, I need to get
my Nio. So then I looked around and everyone was sold out, dude. I found one in L.A. a
(26:56):
GameStop. I call them. They're like, it's here. We'll put your name on it. I get there. And
they're like, I don't know who did this, but this is a preorder from someone else. So they
call the guy and the guy is like, yeah, you could just sell it to him. And they sold it
to me. But I was like, I fucked up. But yeah, I was like, if that guy would have like said
no or wanted to pick it up, I'd be like, damn it. I don't have literally can't pick up this
(27:18):
game. You know, yeah, I drove all the way to L.A. to get that shit. All right. You heard
it here first. He says he's not getting a switch to. We'll see. We'll see. I won't even
have time to play it. We'll see. Two weeks and I haven't played any. We'll see. I know.
We'll see. Monster Hunter is coming out. Oh, yeah. That's it. I'm on my PS5 that you don't
(27:41):
have monster. I'm done with Monster Hunter. What's the most? What's the game that
it's coming out? I mean, within like a one year span that you're excited for.
I need to see what's coming out. Fuck. Well, because I mean, again, you said you're done
with Monster Hunter. I probably won't play it, but I kind of want to get Doom Eternal
(28:05):
or do. Yeah. The new one. Like Dark Ages, Dark Ages. I mean, Gears of War is coming
out for PS5. Done with Gears. Damn. You should be like number one. Yeah, but it's like
outdated. Like things need to improve. Like it's like me saying like, oh, Halo is cool.
Halo is cool at the time. It's just I'm curious. Because like I've never played the
(28:28):
franchise like years away. I've never like owned an Xbox pretty much. So I wonder if
if like if I play it, it would it wouldn't feel that way just because I've never
actually really got to play it. I don't I played it. I think I played three with you
on the multiplayer. And then that's when I learned like you fucking wall bounce.
(28:51):
It's crazy because the only game that really is old in doing new things is
Fortnite. It's crazy. Like I still want to go back to Fortnite. Damn. I need to
still be I need to get Godzilla. But that's games as a service, though.
True. It is. You won't get that with like, you know, single player or not
(29:13):
single player games, but like games where they make it and then just kind of forget
it. Yeah. What am I excited for?
Bellaccia. Oh, slight aspire to maybe which I don't I'm still on the fence of
going to Pax Boston. It's like it's like too late to get a hotel now. So I am
(29:37):
going to have to like Airbnb it like if I do go. I'm doing it. I want to go
because I've never been to Boston. So the thing that's kind of holding me back, I
guess, is because I don't know if work will let me take the day off because we
have we got deadlines and the day that it happens is like on the deadline. So
(29:59):
maybe if I finish early, I don't know. I don't know, man.
So the only thing that sucks about my job is the deadlines.
For this year, I have Vans work tour.
It's coming back and I've never gone to a Vans work tour, so I'm going to this one.
(30:19):
Kendrick, I'm tight for Kendrick.
The tickets are still expensive.
Tickets are going to go crazy once the Super Bowl happens.
Oh, yeah. Like, oh, Super Bowl commercials.
Predictions, maybe I know one video game.
What is that doesn't need it, but they have the money to do it and it would fucking
be is it Nintendo? No.
(30:41):
OK. The most anticipated game.
The next game that's going to have a midnight release party in the heat and the heat is
on all night to the three in the morning.
Welcome to Miami.
Hey, you know, GTA six.
Dude, imagine if the welcome to the heart of the heat is on.
So I agree that it doesn't need it.
But the thing is, like, people need a reminder.
(31:04):
Yes. You know, people need a reminder.
That's perfect.
It's perfect. Welcome to Miami.
Do you think? I wonder because it'd be cool if they somehow like
merge the way like the how the Super Bowl is happening into the commercial.
So it looks like literally like almost real life.
(31:25):
Like, hey, this is your bowl and then it like this would be crazy
if they have a Kendrick song and it looks like it's a halftime show.
It zooms out exactly.
Yeah, dude.
That's what I'm talking about.
Football team in San Andreas.
Like, yeah, dude, everyone just hyper taste 16.
(31:48):
I don't think they're going to do it, but they should.
Like, I don't know. We'll see.
The memes I see in the comments are like, that's crazy.
We get this before GTA six.
We get the Super Bowl commercial.
I don't.
Nintendo would never do a commercial for Super Bowl.
It's not their style.
Like they could change it up.
I switched to commercial, which is funny because I was watching a tick tock
(32:12):
and the guy was saying, Dan, does anyone remember this game?
And it's Dante's Inferno.
And I was like, fuck, I remember I had a Super Bowl commercial.
Fifteen million dollars.
That fucking game for a commercial for a game that trash.
Yeah. And I remember because I think Foley was with me.
He's like, he's like, oh, they use this song and they know sunshine in the rain.
(32:33):
And I'm like, fuck.
I mean, it looked it was a cool looking commercial.
Yeah. The game was do do.
They thought they were the next God of War.
It looked like a God of War game.
When I was watching the commercials, I go, shit.
I think Gears of War had a Super Bowl commercial as well, which is crazy.
I think Halo had a Super Bowl commercial,
(32:54):
which are two games that succeeded.
Yeah. What else was there?
I just thought there was a lot of movie commercial.
What other ones are you excited for?
We know the Jurassic Park is coming out tomorrow.
Well, by the time this episode releases, it'll already be out.
There's a lot that's coming out.
I'm clearing the sun.
(33:14):
Take away. Titi is not going to have a commercial, but
that that movie I'm super high for.
Oh, they show. Oh, I didn't see the commercial.
I seen pictures. Fantastic Four.
I don't. So I don't know if it's good or not.
I didn't see the commercial, but damn, Marvel Rivals is killing it.
Multi versus dying. I know, dude.
That sucks.
(33:35):
I mean, they're going to have the offline mode.
Yeah. So just download it and keep it downloaded.
Yeah, that sucks.
That sucks. Marvel Rivals is thriving.
Riven. Yeah, it's doing good.
Which, I mean, I'm glad there's a game that can like
(33:55):
succeed in today's society.
And what's surprising me is like the movies didn't do it.
But the rivals is doing is bringing kids to comic book
comic book shops are fucking thriving right now.
People are buying comics because of Marvel Rivals.
And I'm like, I never in a million years would I have thought that.
So it's crazy.
So like now, like the idea is like you can release
(34:18):
like unknown characters into this game and kids will be like,
I want to know more about this character.
Let me go buy books. The costumes.
Like, oh, this costume came in this issue.
Let me go buy this. Yeah.
It's like, fuck, dude, this is crazy.
That's actually kind of cool.
Movies could the movies couldn't do it.
It was a game.
Well, because the thing is, the game you're playing as a character.
(34:39):
So like the story, you're creating it.
But like in the movie, you're seeing a story that already exists on,
like on the screen.
Why do you need to know more?
The movie tells you the story.
The thing would that that does annoy me because I, you know,
I'm not into the comic book scene anymore, but like there'll be a costume.
And then people won't actually this costume comes from issue.
(35:00):
Like, oh, my God.
You just explain in the costume.
Well, actually, this is this is.
Who do you think the because the most recent characters were fantastic for?
I think the next setup is going to be the thing and the torch human torch.
(35:22):
What do you think the next ones will be?
Or like, not who do you think, but like, who do you think the best one
characters that they should release next could be a group individual?
Oh, Deadpool's not in there.
No, I think you'd be hilarious.
Deadpool. What do you think?
Like he looks at the game, breaks a fourth wall.
(35:43):
Come on, man. But I haven't I haven't played the game, so I know there's
ultimates. I don't know how they like play with each other.
But what do you think an ultimate for Deadpool should be?
And since he could break the fourth wall, it would have to be something with fourth
wall or he could teleport to so like he like does like a blinding move for like
(36:03):
every enemy.
So like the literally like the people playing can't see the screen or he in the
complex, he's in love with death.
He could summon death and death kills like maybe like everyone on screen to death.
Yeah, like if they're behind like a vehicle, it doesn't count.
But like if it's visible to like Deadpool's vision, it'll like instantly kill him.
(36:24):
Yeah, maybe cool.
I think people were saying Thanos might possibly be the next one.
I think that was a good idea, too.
Yeah, but I think Danos.
I mean, what's crazy is so Hulk.
So I guess Hulk is kind of like cloak and dagger.
You start off as a huge as Bruce Banner.
(36:45):
Yeah, there are people high rank.
Your your goal, your main goal is to change into Hulk.
Yeah, they don't change the Hulk.
They just play as they mean.
Bruce Banner, they fucking are high rank.
I'm like, God, you're fucking good if you're like you're going to be the next one.
You're like you're like playing with like there's like fighting between like different players because someone feels like we could do better if you change to God damn the Hulk.
(37:10):
That's crazy.
I kind of want to just ask you see is good.
Yeah, because like people are you know, chat can be they're like, you're only good because you're getting carried.
He random random ranked matches reached the top.
He's like, what now?
(37:31):
What now? I did this fucking solo.
What now?
Dude, and people were talking are like shitty players probably.
Yeah, I mean, it's just chat like the way the way I see chat is like one individual person and they've never played any game in their life.
You know, that's how I see them.
So like if they talk shit, I'll respond to it because obviously I need content.
(37:56):
But it doesn't doesn't affect me.
It reminds me of a chatter who's never done below level four.
I'm like, bro, like don't talk.
He's never done this.
It's very different from a normal run.
You can't use the same strategy.
I had a chatter too.
That was like you're doing everything wrong.
(38:18):
And I even invited him to a call.
He showed me like the news he was talking about.
I tried it wasn't working.
I'm like, it's not going to work, dude.
And yeah, he just stopped.
But for me, it was content like I didn't care.
Like you can tell me everything you want to do and I'll try it.
(38:40):
Like it's just content for me.
But it was good times, good times.
I'm trying to do some life hacks right here.
Have you got have you heard of the built credit card?
Yes.
That's the card where you can use it like as a check or like a direct cash.
And so you can pay for your apartments.
Yes.
I want to pay for rent and get points.
(39:02):
I don't want to pay for rent and get nothing.
Yeah.
So I don't know if I because I feel like it's they're going to take away that.
Well, it's been it's been going on for a long time now.
I think like more than six years, seven years, maybe longer.
But yeah, I've never taken advantage of it.
But I know a coworker that uses built and like dudes hardcore on the credit card points.
(39:28):
It's funny because like I was watching Tick Tock.
So the guy was saying it's so the one negative is owned by Wells Fargo.
Yeah.
And he was saying like Wells Fargo is losing 10 million dollars a month because of built.
So I'm like, I want it.
But then I'm like, how long are they sustainable?
Because in built mentality, they thought, oh, people are going to use this as your main credit card and accumulate so much credit card debt.
(39:54):
But people are not doing that.
People are using who are using built.
Yeah, are smart money savvy.
And so they're like making sure it's all paid off and like, yeah, yeah.
That's funny.
I'm just like, damn.
But I mean, that's the majority of credit cards that they're hoping that everyone just goes into debt and can't pay it off.
And then they'll never pay it off. Welcome to America.
(40:19):
Well, we live in debt.
I mean, like it happens with car loans.
Yeah. Like people will just like stack up car loans and be like, it's only like 200, 300 dollars a month.
But you do that like for six cars, bro.
That's not cheap, man.
The interest or they don't even see it as like as like a 60 dollar loan.
(40:41):
They see it as like, oh, this is a 200 dollar loan a month.
Like it's cheap. I can afford $200.
Yeah. For the rest of your life, dude, like you know what's crazy is the CEO is probably a white supremacist, but I want to tell you how he is a white supremacist.
But go for the what's the other car?
(41:02):
The next best electric electric cars like BMW, the Rivian.
I think we're even only does trucks, though.
I mean, the thing is, because my workplace has the chargers, so I would just have free fucking.
Oh, yeah.
Electricity and you can charge it while you're working, because one of the issues is like people don't charge it enough.
(41:23):
So they'll they'll be stuck somewhere randomly and just like not have enough charges to get to somewhere, you know.
But as long as like you have a spot.
But I mean that like then you kind of lock yourself in there because you don't want to leave anymore, you know, like that is true.
And that's that's probably one of the reasons the electricity locked in for life.
(41:47):
But I mean, yeah, pretty much free gas for you.
As long as you drive within the city.
I mean, you could go to Vegas, but I think you need a couple of charges.
At least two. How many miles is it from here to Vegas?
And I don't know.
Four hundred around four hundred. I think it's a little under four hundred.
(42:10):
You need one charge.
Like the thing is, people don't charge it 100 percent.
So like they charge it like 60, 70 percent and then move on.
And it'll tell him like, oh, like you can make it to this charging station.
So they always charge like once, twice, maybe even three times, depending.
They don't always charge full percent and go all the way.
(42:31):
They don't let it like drain like the car doesn't even let you drain it all the way.
It'll tell you warnings and stuff, even like when it's 100 percent.
I'll be like, oh, if you're driving here, you can only go this far.
So you better charge before that. I just wish we had self-driving cars by now.
I just want to sleep. I mean, you can do with the Tesla.
I know.
(42:54):
I mean, there's they have safety safety features so that you're not sleeping at the wheel,
but there's ways around it. So yeah, it's possible.
It's possible.
But yeah, I think right now you can buy like a second hand Tesla like way cheaper than a standard car.
So maybe do that.
(43:15):
And I don't need I don't need one. So not yet.
Cheap and go cheap.
Free electricity stuck for life.
I mean, you wouldn't be stuck for life, but it'd be a major like benefit to staying at this company.
Yeah, stuck for life.
(43:36):
You got anything else?
Over back ago, you made a prediction that something crazy is going to happen in the beginning.
Has that shit happened yet or we're still waiting for it?
Because a lot of crazy shit has happened.
I feel like it probably happened.
It happened already. Yeah.
(43:58):
OK. Yeah. Because I mean, there's been a lot of decisions, I think, up until today, pretty much decisions are still being made.
And it's it's crazy to me.
I don't know. There's so much going on.
How much?
Who is going to be a bumpy ride for more years?
We may not be in debt anymore, though.
(44:22):
I don't know. Well, I mean, it's not instantaneous, but the route it's going will be in another debt.
Hmm. Different debt.
Hmm. Are you going to go to?
Wondercon? Yeah, I'll go. Saturday.
Only Saturday. Yeah, only one day.
(44:44):
Yes. Even though that's the one we can go like multiple days because close by.
Twitchcon? That's in Vegas, San Diego.
San Diego. I can do San Diego.
I'm assuming not PAX West East.
I kind of want to go both.
I'm down for one. So if you want to do either the Boston or the West, I'm down for either one.
(45:12):
I'm leaning towards Boston because I've never been. So, yeah, I got to talk to my boss.
Damn, I don't know.
They'll say yes. That's the thing that worries me.
Fuck.
Damn, I want to go. Fuck, dude. I haven't been to Boston, dude.
The fuck? Yeah, I only thing I've had and it's not even in Boston is Boston Market.
(45:37):
Hmm. The chicken.
The food. What is Boston known for? I don't know.
Actually, my sister went there. I have a Boston T-shirt.
Hmm. She went to the school there.
Boston baked beans.
No, that's Bush's baked beans.
(46:00):
I know Boston's food scene is good, but I don't know what they're known for.
Huh. We have the Southern Fried Chicken.
We have Louisiana. I don't know. Boston Market has the chicken as well.
So maybe chicken. No, I don't know. I'm being sarcastic.
(46:21):
Pax East. I hope they have Slayd Aspire.
If you got nothing else, I think we'll call it here.
Yeah. All right. Back. We're back.
The next next episode will be back to normal.
This one was kind of like I had to put everything together, so we kind of just wanted to put something.
(46:43):
But the next one will be back to normal.
And thank you guys for listening. Catch you on the next one. Peace.
