Ep15: The Nano & John Power Hour™

A special episode where one of the usual hosts is missing... while Nano and John talk about their upcoming trip to San Diego for TwitchCon!

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello everyone, editor Nano here. I just wanted to give some context before this episode starts.

(00:06):
Due to a hiatus that we had to go under for this show, we have had episodes 12, 13, 14, and 15
all recorded about a couple of months ago, and we're just now finally getting around to uploading
them. Just letting you know this in case there's any timing specific things we mention in these
episodes, just know that they were recorded a couple of months ago. But we'll be getting back to

(00:29):
brand new episodes starting at episode 16. Okay, but who's doing the intro though if it's a Gears
intro? I want to eat your bones. Okay. I want your bones, Nano. Nano, I want to eat your bones.
You can- I want to eat your bunny bones. You'll just have to wait to eat my bones after the test.
I want- I want to eat your bunny bones, your little tiny- we eat your kind from where I come from.

(00:52):
That's probably an audio test and a half. Your bones, your bones, Nano, your bones.
I know exactly what we have. Hello, welcome to Final Three Braincells Podcast.
God damn it. I told you I don't want to open just like this. Is that it? That's it? That's not even
a bit? We're just- Welcome, welcome. Welcome to- welcome to the Nano and John power hour

(01:14):
that we're having today because, uh, why not? Gears is feeling sick tonight and Faye's dead.
Yeah, I didn't know exactly if we wanted to do an episode because it's kind of Final Three Brain
Cells Podcast, but we got some things that we got to- mainly that John and I have to mention, um,
for big event, big thing in like five days from now. Thank you, Faye. It's pretty big. It's pretty

(01:42):
big. It's pretty massive. I would say so. Would you say so? We're- we're gonna bomb the White House.
What? Well, now we're gonna hold our thought for a second on the event that we were actually gonna
talk about. Did- did you see the clip? Did you see- because- because this is the- this is the
episode that we've recorded most recently since 9-11. Have you seen the clip? Oh no. The massive

(02:08):
fucking slip up where Biden says, and tomorrow I'm doing 9-11. It is- please tell me you've seen it.
Please tell me. I've not. I've not seen this. Okay, well now- now- now I'm gonna need you to react to it, like, live.
It is- it is just- he- he is mentioning something about like, oh, this is what I'm doing today,

(02:31):
and tomorrow I'm doing 9-11, because like, it was like a news report from like the 10th, but he meant
like tomorrow, like he's gonna go to whatever like service that all the government people and all the
like- and all pres- presidential candidates and all of them are going to, but that was- I mean-
I mean- Whoops. Sir, a second 9-11. Sir, would you like to reconsider your statement? I- Biden's doing- he's doing 9-11. He did it. I mean-

(03:03):
He's trying. That might hurt him in the polls, but good thing he's not running. I mean, he can say anything now, and you know, he's not- he's not running for president anymore. He can say anything.
He ain't running. You know, he can say anything. Oh lord. He can say anything. If he was still- if he was still running during that, that'd be so funny.
Oh my god. Never forget episode 5, especially the thumbnail. Never forget. Um, which is funny, because this is episode 15, and episode 5 was the one with the second Mark Campbell.

(03:33):
How- second Campbell's hit the Mark Campbell. That was five. This is 15. I keep forgetting what episodes some of these jokes come from. Yeah, a little bit. I only remember because of thumbnails. That's it.
That's it. Yeah. And because, like, Gears and I at PJKT were mentioning episode 5 again and again and again because, like, oh you gotta go see the episode 5 thumbnail because it's so funny.

(03:54):
Gotta watch episode 5. So the thing we were actually gonna talk about today, mainly, primarily- TwitchCon. TwitchCon San Diego 2024. I mean, I'll be flying out in like four or five days, um, and we kinda just-
We're both flying- we're both flying the Thursday before. We're both flying- Yeah, we're both flying like the Thursday before.

(04:15):
Mm-hmm. So, and I don't know if you'll be there on time to do the day early badge pickup, but I will because I don't wanna fuckin' pick up my badge eating into, like, the Friday, the first day of the con.
I'm glad that they do the day early badge pickup because I don't think anyone wants to sit in line during the first day. That sucks.
You know, like, sometimes, like, whenever you go, like, the day early and so sometimes people will be there so, like, you can meet up with some people and stuff, uh, close to the con. That's at least what happened at, uh, at Paris.

(04:46):
Was whenever I went, uh, at, like, towards the entrance or, like, in front of the convention center area, uh, a bunch of us, like, VR chatters, uh, hung out in front of their-
Nice. So, like, me, Dorad, VioletVR, and a bunch of other people, uh, met up there.
And then later, uh, MaddieLovesBubbles, uh, CyberChimp, and a couple other people came there, so.

(05:08):
Alright, alright. What time are you landing? Um, in, in Pacific time?
I get on a- Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
I know that I'm landing, like, 11.30-ish. I think I'd be at the convention center by, like, 1 or 2 or something.
So, I mean, we'll probably, so long as you're doing it a bit earlier instead of, like, later in the evening, then, uh, we might see each other there.

(05:31):
Yeah. But regardless, uh-
We probably will. So, it's, like, what I did at Vegas, this is actually kind of funny, uh, at Vegas, not the exact same thing went on to our people, hung out there.
I might send, like, a message in the, um, in the, uh, in the TwitchCon Discord and tell people, like, hey, uh, if you wanna see me or anything like that, then come down here.

(05:55):
Um, but, um, whenever I was at the Vegas one, I went to the badge pickup there.
And what I ended up doing was I ended up getting into the convention center early.
Oh.
And just walking in and no, like, no one batted an eye, so I checked out-
I didn't go into, like, the-

(06:15):
I didn't go into, like, any of the main hall where, like, all the booths and stuff were. I didn't get to see that, but it was kind of like some of the outskirt areas.
What's this? What's this? There's new shit everywhere. What's this? I'm not supposed- I'm not supposed to be here. Not at all.
Don't- I just pretend like you're supposed to be there. I'm TwitchCon employee. Hi. Uh, don't mind the affiliate text on my badge. I'm staff.

(06:40):
If you can get away- what you can easily get away with is if you can walk around places with confidence and stuff, they will not question you at all.
Because I didn't even, like, when I was wandering around in there, I didn't have my badge on. Even- I didn't even have my badge on, I think. I don't remember for sure.
It's like a lot of places where you can just kind of go there and no one will bat an eye that you're not supposed to be there with a lot of places where the only, like, attire is just a high-vis vest.

(07:08):
And that's not, like, just construction sites, but that's, like, a lot of things.
This guy's wearing a t-shirt, a Hawaiian shirt, a large brimmed hat, and some pants, but man, he's like, he would confidence. I guess he does work here. I don't know.
You actually wear one of those?
Yeah.
Man, that's crazy.
I'll either wear, like, a Hawaiian- I'll either wear, like, a Hawaiian shirt or a, uh, or like a, uh, plaid shirt or even just, like, a regular, like, button-up shirt that's just left open.

(07:37):
You would be a plaid wearer.
Wintertime would be- or wintertime would be some form of jacket or, like, a pea coat or a, uh, full entrance coat or whatever. Just depends.
Yeah. Um-
Depending on the weather-
I ought to look at San Diego weather and see what all I can wear.
I looked a couple weeks ago and it looks like it's gonna kind of just be, um, it doesn't look like it's gonna really go below 60, I don't think, like, too much. I mean, it was kind of averages over, like, the-

(08:07):
Damn it!
Late September, but specifically this was a couple weeks ago I checked and also that's an average. I don't know if maybe the night gets cold or whatever. Um, I'm not too worried about it though. Not too- too worried about it.
Yeah.
Uh, I can- I can brrrr-chili-
Not to be confused with the food, chili. Um, so-
Why'd you- I- I like wearing, like, uh, coats and stuff more. I like wearing, like, different, like, uh, coats and pea coats and stuff and some of the stuff that I want to wear, uh, there are much more catered to warmer weather.

(08:37):
Catered to warmer weather.
TheJohnCodeA likes wearing coats. The motherfucker who kinda has, like, this blue coat in, like, in your OC and, like, all your art of you and all that stuff. Yeah. You like wearing coats, you say?
I- I have that coat. That's a- that's based on a real coat that I have.
I mean, so is the hat. I would hope- I would hope that-
Cloakbrain.com

(08:59):
It's actually cloak.
It's cloak.
Man, that reminds me I should get some cloak merch at some point. I did get some, uh, Linus Tech Tips merch though. I think I'm probably gonna-
If I ever have a chance to wardrobe paint, I'd be wearing it.
Um.
I've also got a Linus Tech Tips jacket somewhere.
Ooh, yeah, okay. Um, but no one cares about fucking clothing, okay?

(09:24):
No one cares about your clothing or my clothing. Because-
I do.
That's true. Um.
This is crazy for me. For the uninitiated, um, if you've been living under a rock or, um, if you just, you know, don't have that much free time, which that's okay. You're valid for that. Fuck you. Uh, you're valid for that. So, um.

(09:45):
Bipolar opinions of the viewer. So.
My own opinion of the viewer is bip- anyways. So, um, this is the first time-
This is a lot of first times for me here.
First time I've ever gone to TwitchCon. I mean, you've gone like how many times now? Two TwitchCons in general?
Uh, I've been to- well, two. Yeah, two TwitchCons. I've been to Paris and, uh, Vegas.

(10:06):
Okay, Paris and Vegas. I thought it would've been more than that. I don't know why. I thought it was- would be somewhere like four.
No.
Okay.
Uh, I- the first con- like bigger convention that I went to was, uh, PAX East, uh, in Boston and that was, uh, just- like that was in 2020 just before COVID happened.

(10:27):
Like-
I don't want to derail what I was gonna say, but I do want to ask because I- what- what is PAX? What do they do there? Like, what- what happens? I pan- just the basics of it?
It's a lot of- it's a lot of gaming stuff. So whenever you go down there, you're gonna get a lot of different, uh, gaming stuff and a lot of the boosts are, uh, up and coming games.

(10:48):
So I saw a lot of, uh, indie games there. Um, like a- a lot of the smaller boosts were just a lot of, uh, indie games.
But then like other companies like, uh, Nintendo at the time had, uh, Animal Crossing, uh, New Horizons, I believe, uh, fixed them to come out.
So they had a whole, uh, thing there. I can actually probably send, uh, pictures and stuff because I have pictures of all that kind of stuff, so-

(11:10):
Editor, maybe put it up. I don't know. Maybe.
Like all the Animal Crossing, uh, stuff there, they had a whole bunch of stuff there. Um, they didn't have a demo for it there, but they did have demos for whatever the upcoming Pokemon game was.
Is there anything else really other than- is it just a bunch of gaming, like, companies and booths and that's kind of the main thing?
That's pretty much mostly about it. There's also like panels and stuff, um, in different other like YouTubers and stuff that are there.

(11:36):
I think it'd be fun to go to, but I think I'm definitely, like, I'd be a little more excited for TwitchCon.
But I think that might sound fun if I have the money for like a pack. I just don't- I haven't really known what ha- to be fair, we're like a couple days from TwitchCon and I still don't even exactly know the TwitchCon schedule itself either.
I not only have not really had the time to look at it, I haven't had the time to process it even if I did look at it. And also it's like, I'll probably just figure out what the schedule is like literally the day before.

(12:05):
Like probably on the plane itself, because that way it'll be fresh in my mind. And it's like, I don't care right now, I'm just- I'm mainly there to just literally be at a convention for the first time and meet a shit ton of people for the first time as well.
Um, because- Yeah, that was Paris for me. Yeah, so it's like I've never flown in my entire life. This'll be a first. I've also never traveled without like my entire family, like mother, father, and strawberry.

(12:38):
So that's also a first that I'll be- I mean literally take a plane entirely my own, which is also crazy. That was dizzy. I've told this story before. But that was dizzy with Paris. So he did well.
But it was really funny because he had never flown like, he's like really, really southern and really country. So he hadn't ever flown or anything like that. So it was really interesting that his first flight, his first flight was technically from here to Dallas.

(13:14):
But then it was Dallas to Paris, France, which was an eight and a half hour flight. So it was- so he started off with a quick 45 minute flight and then we went to the high one.
Oh man, that is rough. I don't know. Oh yeah. But honestly kind of funny.

(13:36):
And then of course I've flown a lot of different places. Like whenever I went to Boston, I flew. Which that was really neat. Like it was really funny because it was like I went to Boston and then a week later COVID just happened and everything shut down. So it was just like, huh.
You went, at least you didn't get trapped in Boston. Holy shit. Of all places in the world to be, you don't want to be trapped in Boston. No.

(14:03):
There is a story that I do really like to tell, which is whenever I was there, I was going to, I was walking around different places in Boston and I went into a bookstore that had a cafe, you know, like the second or third level.
And so I got in there and I went up to the cafe and I just had like a bagel and something to drink. I think it just had like a bagel and apple juice because I was hungry and I was thirsty.

(14:31):
So I had that, I had those. And then I looked at my phone to see where I was. I looked at my maps to see where I was. I looked on there and I was like, how in the hell did I get onto the Harvard campus?
I'm sorry.

(14:52):
So by technicality, I've been to Harvard.
Damn.
I wandered onto the Harvard campus.
That's too much context though.
You know how you're always like, oh, I'm over explaining the joke. You're over explaining this year. You know, why into Harvard?

(15:13):
End of discussion and no one was out.
But the statement in general of I wandered onto the Harvard campus in general is a really funny statement.
It's funny specifically if you like, I've been to Harvard and they're like, oh cool. And then you're like, yeah, I wandered onto the campus at one point and they're like, oh.
But it's like a series of John Cody events that makes sense.

(15:37):
Oh yeah, no, of course.
Something like that would never end up happening to me.
Just something that funny and weirdly like just bonkers, I'll call it, and just not exactly knowing where you are. Something like that just wouldn't happen to me, which is a shame that I'm a bit more organized.
Meanwhile, my thoughts are always fucking scrambled and I have severe ADHD.

(15:59):
But my like being physically somewhere is a little bit like knowing where I am is a little bit.
I mean, I'm not going to wander onto a fucking Harvard campus. I'm going to be worried to go into somewhere unless I know what it is first.
If there's got to be some signage like that just.
Me, I can't comprehend the wandering into Harvard like were there signs that you just, oh, I these these I can't read these.

(16:27):
I can't I all of a sudden can't read anymore. I'm illiterate.
I just didn't see them. I just straight up didn't see them.
Your eyes were you were hyper focused on the smell of what was it? Bagel was it?
Yeah, bagel. Just like it was like your project melody bagel.
It was like the in the cartoons where they have the gag of like the the smell goes into the nose and then they start like levitating as they flow.

(16:56):
It is going as like being bagels.
Yeah, like that. So what else is it? My first it's your first time flying first time ever traveling alone first time meeting all the people that I've met over the years on here and just online in general.
I mean, no really just here. I think there's only like a very, very tiny tiny Tupper.

(17:19):
Oh, no, I will be. Yeah, I'll be Tupper. Yeah. Yeah.
He was at Vegas. So he might be at a I was I was in a I was in a little little thing that I have access to.
And yeah, he was talking about how he he's going to be there. I was in a meeting.
He was going to be there. And I don't know if I'll actually follow through with this, but I'll say it here because this episode will go up like probably a month later after this has already all happened, which, by the way,

(17:49):
you can probably see a bunch of Twitch con photos and maybe some videos on probably his Twitter and my Twitter as well.
So by the time you're seeing this, even my YouTube, I plan on vlogging. Yeah, I plan to hopefully vlog as well.
I've never done it. I got to hopefully get into the habit of it because all this is so new to me.
I don't know if I'll be able to have the time to even think about it.
But then again, I do plan to lug around a pretty like comically heavy, but still reasonable like film camera, like a camcorder that records the mini dd tapes.

(18:24):
I might do like half and half of like some stuff on on phone and then like some stuff on the fucking camcorder because I'm kind of like the style of the recent like Schlatt & Co videos where Schlatt is going to Japan,
and switches between like nice HD camera to like a HI8 camcorder from like the early 2000s.
But like it's it's really interesting and nice looking and the audio is still like really good. I think it could be pretty cool.

(18:49):
I'm not stealing it from him. I just I like the look of camcorder stuff in general.
I think, you know, camcorder and VHS and all that stuff looks pretty cool.
Aesthetic something something or just ancient old turning to dust. I'm 19 though, but no, I do know Tupper is going to be there.
And I had this idea because I'd like to maybe have Tupper on the show at some point.

(19:14):
I think that'd be pretty cool. And that is totally within the realm of possibility.
That's actually not a stretch at all. And I can absolutely make that happen. I think it'd be pretty cool.
Maybe, you know, what's so funny? No, that's a that's a bad idea with me. That's a bad idea with me.
Why would you what would you what would happen? What would happen?

(19:35):
I'm not going to say you're not going to say it. OK, OK, you want to say it, but it gets like this one.
I plead the fifth on this one. There's too many joke opportunities.
There's too many joke opportunities. I don't want to scare him off.
It'd be fine. So in some in some meeting places, I'm just going to keep it vague because I don't want people to then run wild with assumptions of like,

(20:04):
oh, Nano's on the VR chat team or something or they have some crazy like insider.
No, I was going to say like insider, not like no, it's it's not really like that. It's just something.
But like also, it doesn't you don't need to know the context. It doesn't matter.
It wouldn't change anything to know the context. It's like it's like it's like the nice of the roundtable, except it's a bunch of nerds talking about,

(20:28):
hey, we're going to be doing this later in the year. Yeah, it's going to break all your fucking bindings anyways.
It's going to break everything. And then tomorrow we're going to update this barely.
That's not fully cooked yet that we're we're still testing, but we're going to release it anyway, because I don't know why.
And tomorrow writing interactive 11 to be going to help. That's only going to help index memers.

(20:54):
Oh, yeah, of course. Of course. Vive wants to trash them. In fact, we're actually going to put firmware into the fucking VR chat software.
It's going to blow up all the Vive controllers like immediately they're going to explode in your hand.
Micro bombs. So anyone who used the Vive ones as certain toys, as you know, Vive Dildo ones,

(21:17):
hope it was in your hands or just blows off your hand instead of up somewhere else where in that case you're never shitting again.
So anyways, what I was going to say about the one is it's there's a many, many, many worse things you could use.
It's really like it would it wouldn't be the worst thing if it honestly wouldn't be the worst thing.

(21:43):
I mean, I was just going to say cactus. Stop. Stop reading my mind.
So I was considering anything to be a dildo if you're brave enough.
Tupper hates and I think this is I think this is public knowledge. Tupper can be a dildo if you're brave enough.
It's implying that a Fumo can be a dildo. No.

(22:05):
They're what?
It's implying that a Fumo that's kind of slightly implying that a Fumo can be a dildo like the Fumo plush.
Oh, a little bit. Or maybe I'm stretching it a bit.
Is that what their avatar is?
Well, it's Cerno and then what is Tupper? What is it?

(22:26):
Cerno is the characters based off of. But besides the point.
So he hates stations, aka chairs, the archaic chairs where you click it and now you're seated like in your whole lower body.
Yes, but we've been watching the animation. Yeah.
The system is fucking stupid behind the scenes.

(22:49):
And there's a reason why shit like always wants to break with it.
And like there's weird issues where like at one point you used to be able to click like reset avatar to like override the animations.
But then like you can't now.
And then there's also weird things where like you can put a station slash chair on an avatar and like right around on someone from that, which shouldn't really realistically already way beyond the scope of what the fucking was intended for, which was just to be like.

(23:17):
We mean we just need that.
Chair for a couch.
So even that's beyond my spina which are needs this.
No, I love that we have it, but we've had like a dynamic bones and then VR check comes out of his bones.
It's more optimized and works better.
And then we've now had that with constraints where now instead of unity constraints, we have VRC constraints.

(23:38):
We need a total fucking stations rework.
I would like that.
But regardless, Tupper hates them.
Tupper hates stations.
So I thought, bring a chair.
I thought to myself, I just like slip my little PNG of like the VRC station script and I'm like, hey, you know the good shit?

(23:59):
And he'd just be like, oh fuck off or something like that.
I don't know.
This is my imagination running wild.
What's the matter?
Just holding like a holding like a plastic chair.
What's the matter Tupper?
Does this anger you to start violently shaking the chair?
Something the matter?
Coward.

(24:20):
I just always think back to what whatever video there was.
There's no wonder people are so afraid of technology.
Technology.
Hold up a fucking sign.
The only the only the only thing that I know that from this like lolathons videos and that's it.
Yeah.
I don't see the original yet.
Fair enough.
It's kind of just exactly what it sounds like going up some random person on the street.

(24:42):
I don't even know the full context before or after the clip myself either.
Regardless, Tupper hates stations.
But yeah, they kind of suck.
And it's I can guarantee you fucking spaghetti code.
Train stations.
Anyways, so which he is upset because like some of his older avatars.
I believe also a derp model specifically that was like has some really good share gimmicks and stuff on it.

(25:07):
Completely broke.
But like other avatars with chairs are still have still just been just fine.
And he like complains to me sometimes about it.
And it's like, yeah, I wish this shit wasn't broken.
But you still got to understand literally having a station on an avatar to begin with is already beyond the scope of whatever the fuck they were ever intended for in the first place when they were added and probably like 2017 2018 something around there.

(25:30):
So being 2019.
Yeah, it's awesome.
We have it, but if the ship breaks, well, it was a blessing.
You even had a chance to have it work for a minute because this shit's spaghetti.
And hopefully maybe we'll someday have a rework.
I feel like there's enough to do.
You know, I don't even know how it would be so spaghetti or have broken it.

(25:51):
It was just made for a really simple purpose of putting your ass in a chair that stays in the exact static position in the world.
Yeah, how do you fuck that code up?
It's just like a technical debt.
Over many years, I'm assuming it was added in like 2017 or 2018.
Ish.

(26:12):
Something like that.
What if I were to set up, which he to bring it up to Tupper at TwitchCon?
That'd be funny.
I think it could be pretty funny.
It never seems to me like he's genuinely like adamantly angry about the existence of stations.
Sure, he doesn't like them, but it doesn't seem like he would kill someone.

(26:36):
Tupper would just go on like a rant about it.
Rightfully so.
And I like hearing it because honestly, yeah, probably spaghetti could probably bullshit.
I think I think I think for me, like there's always like goofy stuff that I'm going to do, particularly for the vlog.
So it's going to be like some of the different goofy stuff that I end up doing.
There is one idea.
It's mostly for the.

(26:57):
But in general, like in general, like any time I know that there's like a camera on me or there's an opportunity to do something funny, I'm going to take it.
It's like especially something funny.
I know there's a camera on the audience or something that I will start to do.
Do something on the 2005 camera.
No.

(27:20):
But yeah, so.
You were going to say that.
I was also going to say I mentioned it in the room to Tupper.
I'm like at the end of some meeting recently, I think I was like on VR chat on my phone because it's a thing now in the meeting world there because I was in the fucking phone booth in the lunch room at work because this was three p.m.

(27:49):
That's funny.
It was if it worked, it was actually like a totally fine experience.
I just couldn't like a tab out of the app or it would disconnect me.
There might be some battery optimization setting I could change because Samsung battery optimization is dumb anyways.
But regardless, at the end of that session, I mentioned I think I like raise my hand or something.

(28:12):
I mean, obviously I didn't.
I was on the fucking phone.
Yeah, I raised my hand in the phone booth.
Definitely see that on the on the avatar on the fucking Android phone.
You raise your hand and just goes buzzer.
Loud buzzer.
So what the fuck am I saying?
You can tell that I didn't go to bed last night, but I mentioned like.

(28:37):
I see when I see a Twitch con, I'm going to bring up stations and I think he said and I quote, OK, I'll bring a taser.
I think I think that was the line.
Don't quote me on that.
I think that was the line.
That's if it was appropriate, totally warranted.

(28:59):
Obviously a joke.
But if it did happen. Fair, fair enough.
I am not I'm not poking the bear.
I'm like stabbing with like a spear.
That's a basic bitch analogy.
Shooting with a fucking Glock.
There we go.

(29:20):
Something like that.
So we have to also bring this up.
How many members of Nakama are going?
Yeah, so me and six others and Nakama, I believe currently has 10 members.
Yes, 10 members.
The only ones that aren't going obviously are.

(29:41):
Yeah, obviously the two who aren't going are the three who aren't going.
Two of them are mutes.
And one of them lives in like Thailand.
So there's your three who aren't going.
Everyone else is going.
And then no unannounced members are going, I believe.
Well, technically, yeah.

(30:02):
What the fuck?
What is that?
Fucking calendar alert telling me my leave of absence from work has started.
Yeah, I know.
It's midnight and it's telling me my leave of absence has started.
Shut the fuck up.
OK, anyways.
I was so confused.
Sounds like siren head on my end.

(30:23):
Yeah, the sound effects for Samsung Watch are a little bit weird, but they're fine.
They're just a little different from the phone.
So it's like, what the fuck is that?
I've never heard this in my life.
But what was I saying?
Right. How many people are not going?
The members who are going to.
I'm not going to list the names precisely.

(30:44):
I mean, you can easily figure it out based on if you look at 10 and then minus two mutes and then minus the one who lives in Thailand.
But anyways, I mean, I believe it'll all be public anyways.
But, yeah, seven of us are going split in Airbnb together.
Huge savings from that.
I mean, just massive savings.
We're doing the three days of the convention as well as staying an extra day afterwards.

(31:08):
The Monday, I believe that we will hopefully be going to the San Diego Zoo.
I found out through my work.
You actually can get a discount on zoo tickets, which is nice.
But holy fuck, the San Diego Zoo is massive.
And we we came up with an idea.
We came up with an idea.
You can go see Alex, Marty, Gloria and oh, what's the zebra's name?

(31:32):
Melvin.
Who are they?
Madagascar.
Oh.
Choo-choo-choo.
They do come from the San Diego Zoo.
Right.
Huh.
All right.

(31:53):
Fair enough.
I've never thought about that.
I mean, it's been a year since I've watched these movies.
Anyways.
Oh, no.
A giant Tyrannosaur will start roaming the streets.
Yeah, something like that.
So with Jeff Goldblum and another girl riding around with a baby Tyrannosaur.
I'm going to take Jeff, please.

(32:14):
No, Jeff Goldblum.
Have you seen The Lost World?
The Lost World.
Jurassic Park.
That would be like whichever one was after the fucking amusement park island fell.
Right.
I never watched The Lost World.
It's the second one.
No, I did not.
Oh, my God.
I watched the one before.
It's a time.
It's a time.

(32:35):
A time like it's bad or?
Bad for our time.
Uh, it ain't great.
I see.
Well, fair enough.
It's better.
To be fair, it's better than World.
All right.
That's something at least.
I don't give a fuck about dinosaurs.

(32:56):
Don't care about dinosaurs or superheroes.
Those are like two types of movies.
I can't even pretend to care about.
I will like if I was capable of falling asleep through a movie, those two would put me to sleep.
Is dinosaur movies and superhero?
I just I just can't do them for some reason.
I don't know.
I just can't do them.
I have a like my brain is like anti interested.

(33:18):
It's weird.
We're not we're not liking the dinosaur movies.
Alcatraz.
That's it.
I wouldn't know.
That's it.
Just something's wrong.
All right.
That's not right.
I'm sorry.
Some with my brain.
It's like literally just it's not that I'm not interested.
It's that I'm like repelled by like it's like I'm anti interested.
It's like I actively do not want to watch.

(33:40):
I've tried to watch like superhero and dinosaur movies before.
It's like for some reason I don't give a fuck about superheroes and dinosaurs.
I don't know.
Just those two in specific.
I don't know.
It's weird.
I don't have an answer for you.
I don't know.
Something's wrong.
To be fair, I haven't tried in a while.
I probably watch like a Deadpool, but that's you know, that's Ryan Reynolds.

(34:02):
And that's funny.
But like so I do.
I do.
I think I'm I'm going to San Diego by myself.
And so I like doing like the I thought you were saying the hotel.
I don't want to see any.
Sorry.
I don't want to read that wrong.
Yeah, sorry.
Yeah.

(34:22):
Yeah, of course.
Obviously that that's that's that's the that's that's the end point of it all.
That's where it all ends.
So yeah, but yeah, I'm going like we're going to a hotel by myself and all that kind of
that because it's typically about how I like to travel.
But I'm probably going to end up also being around you guys a lot.
Oh, yeah, I know.
I think so.
Because you guys are doing stuff and I'm like, can I come?

(34:46):
Can I come?
I don't weird uncle.
I don't think there'd be anyone there who would have any sort of problem with you.
We'll just see because seven people's already a lot.
And I think you already do have an eighth who will like tag along a fair little bit
here and there.
I actually don't know if you will to anyone.
But I believe that any of them have a problem.
I'll kill him.
I would hope that I hope you.

(35:07):
I hope I would hope that you can can come along for some stuff because it'd be fun
because there's one thing I wanted to say about the San Diego Zoo is and editor nano
or editor gears or whoever's doing this, probably editor gears cut this out if I say
so in some notes somewhere.
But or just a bleep just like throughout the whole thing and be funnier that way.

(35:32):
So I want to do a bit because I'm bringing the camcorder and which he went to eBay to
get the same hat that Logan Paul wore in the forest video and I have the camcorder.
You already know where this is going.

(35:53):
You already know where this is going.
I don't even need I don't even need to say more.
I don't need to say more.
I don't need to say more.
I'm not bringing this up to anyone else.
I'm only bringing it up here.
And this like doesn't leave here.
This is just I want to hopefully make this video.
I don't even know if it will see the light of day.
Hopefully it does.
If it does, I'd have to censor faces.

(36:15):
But like I would hope that this can see the light of day.
I'd be really happy if they can.
I just have to do a lot of manual key frame blurring, but it'd be fine.
But I think it would be it would be a masterpiece.
It was just it was something.
It was this culmination of an idea when we were in a when the seven of us were in a call
figuring out like what we want to do like Friday night after the convention closes Saturday night, Sunday night, and also like Monday day and night.

(36:42):
So we kind of have pretty much everything planned out, I think, other than like Saturday night is still open.
And we kind of like that it's open.
So Saturday night can just be whatever the fuck.
And I don't think we have any plans Thursday night.
I mean, Thursday night, we're just getting settled in, obviously.
And also, man, I'm leaving like Tuesday at like 11 a.m.
Which is bullshit. I'm getting on the plane Thursday at 6 a.m.

(37:05):
Yeah, you guys are going to come in and get settled in and do a little explicit rule in the Airbnb.
No sex.
Also, I guess no pissing in the shower, which is like.
But there's not that role I understand.
Well, it's not a problem, especially assuming that you're doing the thing that makes sense.

(37:29):
If you are a shower pisser, which is just for it to go straight down the drain, you're not going to do it on the fucking wall.
That's kind of that's kind of crazy.
But if it's like directly in the drain, then there's nothing you're not.
Oh, you're getting that. Why are you trying to justify?
I'm just thinking I'm just thinking it's like.
What are you stepping on the drain?
Are you worried that the the the the sole of your foot is going to get.

(37:53):
Fucking.
This is what you're trying to justify shower pissers.
I don't know. I don't know.
I'm just I'm just a little bit.
What?
It doesn't change anything.
Shower prissing.
The only thing I get is it's like, OK, sure.
I get it. It's a shared space.
I still think it's not a problem, but I'm not going to do it because I respect like, OK, you know, we have rules.

(38:17):
I'm not going to just fucking break them because that that'd be dumb.
There's also no shower for some reason.
I don't know why, but that was just made as an extension to the pissing.
So sure.
I mean, that one. Yeah, you know.
That's funny. Yeah, sure.
OK, fair enough.
I'm sure pissers or non shower pissers, you're all valid.

(38:41):
The shower pissers, you're just saving like shower like 10 seconds.
You're saving like 10 seconds off your life.
That's a whole 10 seconds that could be used.
From aspect.
Liking and subscribing to the show on YouTube or rating five stars on Spotify or or or whatever it whatever the button is on like other.

(39:07):
RSS podcast platforms.
Is it like follow or is it subscribe?
I think it's also just subscribe.
Download. I think it's subscribe.
It's it's podcasts are kind of technically a download thing, even though everyone just streams podcasts now.
But like it was a thing where you download.
Download or whatever the fuck or favorite or like or whatever the fuck.

(39:30):
Anyways, that was over 10 seconds.
That was well over 10 seconds.
That's bullshit.
What are we doing now so far?
We're we're how the fuck I feel like we've talked about so much.
We've only actually been rolling for 40.
Yeah, that was like 37 actually because we had a couple minutes there of blabbering.

(39:52):
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
OK, that's good because I had what I wrote down.
Joe Biden is doing 9 11.
I had a podcast topics list to organize my thoughts.
So we did that.
We talked about TwitchCon a bit.
I mean, of course, there's going to be more to talk about with TwitchCon and and all that shit.
We didn't even mention at all with this weird specific episode where it's just the two of us.
So it's just final two brain cells.

(40:14):
We should have done.
Yeah, it was like brain cells instead of final three.
Well, I explain that gears are sick like gears.
Yeah, face dying again.
What was the episode?
The idea for next week would be that then gears and Faye would do an episode.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That could be interesting.

(40:36):
What if we what if that in this episode are actually just one, they're just both episode 15 and it's just a two hour long.
No, no, no.
Make them into two episodes or content.
Split the content.
Fair enough.
You know, fair enough.
Fair enough.
Honestly, I don't think anyone really wants to sit there two hour.

(40:58):
I mean, I like a two hour podcast myself.
That's just me thing, though.
I think I just watched like a two hour episode of sad boys the other day.
Shout out.
Sad boys come on the podcast.
To be fair, I've watched.
Two sad boys of any type just show up on the podcast.
You don't even have you don't have to be Jarvis and Jordan.
You can just be two sad male young males just show up and then hi.

(41:25):
Hey, look, sad boys.
To be fair, like I've what I've watched a four or not for a six hour analysis video on one piece about four times now.
So I can't say much.
Yeah, that's that's fine.
Yes.
And we love it.
And we love it.
What was the other thing I was listening here?
Oh, yeah.

(41:47):
How did I not mention the sooner?
What? So I'm wearing something.
A strap on a strap on your face.
Audio listeners, I was tapping my head.

(42:08):
I'm wearing something on your ass.
Fuck off.
I'm going to get a bunny bump like.
What would they even be like a carrot?
I mean, like, yeah, this absolutely exists.
Of course I do.
Have you ever been have you ever been in a Spencer's?

(42:31):
I have not.
Actually, I do kind of want to go to one, though, because I feel like it'd be cool.
Oh, no, I'm not.
I'm not, though.
I'm not.
Look, I like going places, going new places.
I feel like it'd be just interesting to be there.
And I don't even think I don't know if I'd get anything.
Oh, no, I know it'd be like, but do you want to actually take a genuine guess?

(42:57):
What am I wearing?
Nope.
The big screen showed up last week.
I knew what it was.
I wasn't going to guess.
Thanks. Actually, audio listeners love you to death.
This is the part where I killed John.
He's now been shot in the head.

(43:18):
I will be continuing with final one brain cell to my next guess was going to be like one of those like 11 things.
Damn it.
Anyways, I kind of wanted to talk more about the big screen.
Well, gears was here.
It's a smaller index.
Like, I don't know.
Well, not exactly.
See, now that I have it, there's a couple things that, like, you kind of get told.

(43:41):
We don't really understand until you have it.
75 Hertz.
It's fine.
75 Hertz is fresh right down from the index maximum of 144.
Technically, this thing can do 90, but then it's slightly lower.
And then it's upscale.
On this.
Yeah.
I mean, raising it up higher is just better for latency.

(44:02):
Even if you don't get those frames, it's just pushing those frames sooner.
Actually, no, I run at 90.
Doesn't matter too much, though.
Doesn't matter too much for VF.
Maybe for like a game like Beat Saber.
Too far under like 75 or something.
Yeah.
Beat Saber maybe, but like, I don't know.
Yeah.
So it's pretty nice.
I also got the Deluxe Audio Strap.

(44:24):
I ordered the headset 14 weeks before I got it.
Yep.
The shipping time was going to be three to ten weeks.
It took a while.
There was a delay because of part shortage.
They got an order of parts that was much smaller than they thought it was going to be also because of shortage.
Then eventually they got the order that they needed, but then it was like a week delayed as well.

(44:45):
So anyways, by the time I finally fucking reached out to them at like the 12 week mark,
it just so happened to like ship two days later.
For fuck's sake.
The worst part is two weeks after I ordered the headset.
So the headset arrives 14 weeks after I ordered it.
And what arrived 12 weeks after I ordered this other item was the...

(45:15):
or no, it was just... this arrived like two days early, but I ordered it two weeks after the headset.
Two weeks after the headset, I order the Deluxe Audio Strap or the Big Screen Beyond Audio Strap,
and it shows up two days before the headset.
What the fuck am I supposed to do with an audio strap specially designed for a headset I don't have in my hands yet?

(45:39):
And on top of that, I thought the audio strap was delayed until late September, early October.
That's what I thought.
So how's the headset?
So yeah, time to talk about the Big Screen for a second.
One thing they do tell you, that all the reviews tell you, is that because it's like an OLED screen,
it is like the darks are darker, but I feel like, or maybe I'm just stupid,

(46:06):
and I didn't see the emphasis enough, but it is like the brightness overall is half like what you get on the Index.
And I'm getting used to it already, but like it is clearly half as bright.
The darks are super dark though.
I look at the TV right there that's turned off, and it's like that's pitch black, and that's pretty cool.

(46:28):
But it is interesting to look at something like the white in my eyes, and it's still like, yeah it's white,
but it's not very bright white, and because I'm still adjusting a little bit from the Index,
it feels like a very very light grey to me that's just going to become white eventually.
It's probably better for my eyes like this anyways, just it being darker overall.

(46:52):
If you can boost the brightness up to Index levels, but then you get really really bad ghosting, like really bad.
It gets better the further down you turn the brightness.
The brightness at 100, which is what I have it at, the ghosting, it exists, but it's very little, you can't notice it too much.
For the very few people who can, they could turn down the brightness to like 80 or 75, and it'd be like totally gone pretty much.

(47:15):
You can turn up the brightness, you can boost it to like 150, but then the ghosting is abysmal.
I guess it's just an OLED thing.
So I just leave it at exactly 100. You can control the fan speed.
I also leave that at 100. I can't even hear it at all, and it's still hot on my face,
but it's nice having the option there.

(47:37):
And then there's one other customization option, you can choose the exact RGB color of one little LED on the front of the headset.
Because just, yeah sure, you can just pick the exact RGB color, because why not?
Yeah, it's kind of cool because the LED is like inside the clear front where it shows you the internals,
and the LED is in there with the internals, so it kind of like bounces off the circuitry and stuff.

(48:01):
It's kind of a little cool. I set it to like a nice little purple.
Here's the issues with the headset now.
On the Index, I was using an IPD of a, the IPD is the distance in millimeters between your pupils,
and I had it set to like 60.5, kind of 60 and 61 where I was both okay with on the Index.

(48:23):
And when you get the big screen, you have to get an iPhone, you have to use an iPhone or a friend's iPhone
or an iPhone from a fucking Apple store, and do a face scan, because the face ID stuff,
you have to do a face scan of your face to get the cushion molded exactly, it's like 3D printed,
with like this weird silicone material exactly to the shape of your face.

(48:47):
And that process also determines the distance between your, between your IPD for you.
And usually it should always come out to like a millimeter, give or take, from whatever you set on a headset like an Index.
I set it to 60.5 on an Index, both 60 and 61 I'm comfortable with on Index, I don't notice a difference.

(49:08):
The big screen has a much smaller tolerances, it has to be like down to the millimeter.
The face scan comes out as 60, I think okay, it's probably fine, it's probably gonna look good.
I think it might have actually supposed to have been 59. I have an optometrist appointment,
day after tomorrow, I'll be able to know for sure what my IPD actually was.
If it turns out to be 60, then I guess I'm crazy, but I really feel like this is a bit blurry.

(49:34):
I feel like my IPD is supposed to actually be 59.
At least the RMA process is free and not too much of a hassle.
So I'm not too worried about it.
And I'm gonna stick with an Index.
You know what I can buy with the same price as a big screen?
Either one or two things, a full Index kit, or 200 packs of one piece TCG cards.

(50:00):
God damn it! Or a few hundred CS keys and cases.
That's a better financial decision than a big screen, I'll be honest.
It probably also has the potential to yield, like it has technically the potential,

(50:23):
to yield more of a return than one piece.
What's the most expensive one piece cards go for? Just say in terms of collectors.
The highest card that I know of off the top of my head is about $10,000 to $12,000.
Yeah, I believe there was a knife that recently was valued and probably sold in CS

(50:47):
that some random guy got from, and he doesn't even play it,
and I think it was a Butterfly Knife or a Crampet, I think it was Butterfly Knife, but I don't know for sure.
It might have been a Crampet, either way.
It was valued at like $200,000, I believe.
Yeah.
$200,000? Yeah, it's like a pretty fucking insane one.

(51:08):
Well, I will tell you, today I opened some one piece packs and I pulled what's called a manga card.
That is worth about like $467.
Damn! Oh, okay. What do you spend on that?
I don't think I'm going to sell it.
I spent about $150,000, but I did a weird thing because they've got some boxes,

(51:38):
which are kind of like treasure boxes that are, you get four packs of random packs from some of the previous sets.
So I probably spent about, oh, somewhere around like $90 on those,

(52:02):
and I spent probably about like another $60 on the packs that I got from the manga set that I got that manga card from.
So all the actual set that I got that manga card from was $6,000.
Regardless, that's a pretty good return no matter which way you calculate that.
It's pretty cool. And yeah, you don't have to sell that, you know, like really, if you're just doing it for fun in general.

(52:26):
No, because it's cool looking. It's cool looking. I want it.
What's nice about, and like CS is a similar thing, it's like you can open up a shit ton of fucking cases
and obviously get a knife, you know, you can try to get a knife at some point, which is just so rare,
but like, and then even then, like the cheapest possible knife could be like $50 if you get the most dog shit piece of shit.

(52:47):
But then like the most expensive one can literally fund a house.
So in terms of genuine like actual value and not just like listing it for $10 fucking million,
because there's some crazy listings like that, and it's like, what are you doing?
But regardless, it's like a similar thing. Like I open CS cases from time to time.

(53:10):
I'm trying to keep my money right now for TwitchCon and stuff,
but like afterwards I'll probably dabble in a little bit here and there again, and I find it fun.
And like I do find it genuinely fun. If there's like skin I actually want, I'll just buy the skin outright. It is cheaper.
But I do enjoy opening like the weekly case that I get for free. I still have to pay like $2.50 for a key.
And I find it purely fun, and I never expect to get a return.

(53:33):
If I do, I probably wouldn't sell it unless it was like a skin for a gun that I would never use,
because you can only have so many guns in your loadout in CS2 now.
So it's like if it was a fucking, um, what like, like, I don't know, some really, really expensive skin for like maybe the autosniper.

(53:57):
I don't think I have the autosniper in my loadout.
Or like, I think I have the negavin autosniper actually.
I'm trying to think, what's a gun like? I genuinely, maybe like a super expensive MP5,
because MP5 is just not as good as like an MP9 and a MAC-10.
If it was something like some gun I would never fucking use, and the skin was like $1,000, like yeah, you know, I'll sell that shit.

(54:21):
Otherwise, I think having just a high value steam inventory is kind of cool. Having a high value skin is cool.
And like, I'm putting this in expecting literally nothing. If I were to get like a $200,000 knife, chances are I probably wouldn't sell it.
It depends. Maybe if it was that expensive, maybe I would. Maybe I would.

(54:42):
I double checked. The highest price one piece TCG card is $2,850.
$2,850? Okay. What did you say before?
I said like somewhere around like $4,000 to $6,000.
Okay, so it's better than you thought, right? Or no?
No, I thought it was $4,000 to $6,000. It's not as much.

(55:05):
Okay. I mean, that's still...
I'm getting this information from TCGplayer.com, which for the most part has been pretty accurate to things.
I'd say it's still pretty awesome though, because it's just like, typically when I think of trading cards that sell for a lot,
it's like baseball cards and Pokemon cards and nothing else really comes to mind.

(55:27):
So to think that there is something that's legitimate enough, that there's other types of cards that are legitimate enough from other different IPs.
And sure, you know, one piece is also fucking massive and has been around for ages.
But like, still, you know, I just never really...
Whenever I think of high value cards, it is just baseball cards and Pokemon cards.
Just those two are the only two that come to mind. And I don't know shit about baseball cards.

(55:51):
I ordered some random, like, thing off of eBay used recently, and it just in the box had a little folded up envelope
with some fucking baseball cards in there. I price checked all of them. They were like maybe a couple pennies each.
A couple of them didn't even have prices at all. Like, they were priceless in terms of valueless. Like, worthless.

(56:13):
Um...
Yeah, that's fucking funny.
Extra 15 cents. I don't know, I just keep them.
They're whatever. But, uh...
Stuff like that's pretty cool.
How did we get to the CS and the trading cards topic?
You were mentioning it.
Because I was making fun of Bigscreen.
Right. Right, that's fair.

(56:34):
And there's one other VR thing I wanted to mention, because I just saw this was posted, I believe, today or yesterday.
Um...
Is, and this is really interesting, I didn't know that there was a VR mod in development at one point for Human Fall Flat.
You remember that game, right? It's a pretty fun game.
It's like Gang Beasts. You know, it's like the campaign single.

(56:55):
It's gonna be silly if you throw up.
Well, I guess at some point the VR mod was bought, and it was just announced...
Um, actually no, it was three days ago it was announced.
Official Human Fall Flat VR, I don't know if it's a separate game, or if it is a, like a separate purchase, or if it's just a DLC option or something.
But, Human Fall Flat and VR, I think that could be interesting.

(57:17):
Um...
I don't think it is in first person.
From one little thing I saw, and I don't know if this was like a screen capture from the mod that was bought out.
Or if this was actually something from the VR thing that was just announced.

(57:38):
But I think it's like third person, like you're behind.
Like it's like a Minecraft third person type thing, where you're like slightly up and slightly behind.
And then you move around your arms and it moves the little guy in front of you.
Which would be way better for motion sickness.
You don't want first person Human Fall Flat and VR. You don't.
Maybe they'll add it as a setting, just as a warning.
You will fucking eat shit and die and vomit your fucking guts out and die.

(58:02):
If it's an option, then that would be fine.
You are allowed to turn on this setting if you sign a waiver.
Over the internet.
It's just like a third person mod, at least to me, just sounds dumb.
But I still just think overall it's kind of cool concept.

(58:24):
I don't know how I support it.
Look, shit coming to VR, regardless, official VR ports and stuff.
Regardless of if it's an indie company or a AAA company or anything.
We love to see it because it's been a bit dry lately.
And I know that like we're just in a little bit of a dry spot.
And things are then going to like get a lot more announcements and all this stuff.
But like, you know, whatever, it's all right.

(58:47):
There's one little thing I wanted to mention.
And it's not political related, but it is the funniest fucking video I've ever seen.
It is like, and I'm stealing the line of a quote.
This is from what populism updates on Twitter.

(59:09):
I don't know who this person is.
I don't know if they have some controversy, but I find this tweet slash z slash post funny.
It's a quote tweet.
I'm reading the quote tweet first.
I strongly believe that only some form of heavenly intervention or divine inspiration can produce a tweet like this.
Would you like to know what that's in response to now?
Because that is a divine inspiration.

(59:32):
I'm curious.
OK. And I literally showed this to my...
I muted myself there trying to copy the link.
I like this was so amazing.
I showed this to my mother on the way to work today, like in the car.
Because I'm just going to send you the clip here and you can play this.
Trump's claim about immigrants eating pets in what?

(59:53):
Fucking Cleveland or something almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the peanuts theme song.
I don't understand how someone finds this out.
They're eating the dogs, the people that came in.
They're eating the cats.
They're eating.
They're eating the pets of the people that live there.

(01:00:16):
That's funny.
How do you determine this?
Just like that comment, that quote is so...
It's like this is genuinely like divine inspiration.
I don't even fully know what the fuck that means, but just like, yeah.
Yeah. Just how?
I feel like this was appropriate to mention when we were mentioning the Biden 9...

(01:00:39):
The Biden doing 9-11 thing as well.
But it's just how does someone's mind connect the fucking peanuts theme song to
they're eating the cats and they're eating...
What?
I'm dumbfounded.
It is the funniest shit and I will like cherish it that specific...
The video, the text, and especially the quote like for the rest of my days.

(01:01:05):
It is so fucking funny to me.
I don't know.
Not to get political or anything, but the peanuts.
You know...
The peanuts.
Oh, God.
Do they still do the thing every year where like on ABC it is like they just play like
Charlie Brown Thanksgiving every year and then play Charlie Brown Christmas?

(01:01:26):
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Yeah.
Okay.
I think also Halloween because there's the Halloween one.
Right, right.
Of course.
Yeah.
It was tradition a lot of the time.
I was watching like all three of those because they would just be on TV, but fuck cable.
Don't have cable anymore.
Fuck cable.
We got YouTubes.
Table don't have Jerma.
Cable don't have Ludwig.

(01:01:50):
I don't want Ludwig.
Well, neither is there anything else.
Jerma retired.
MatPat died.
Jerma did retire.
Just say what?
I think he did like a fucking jigsaw puzzle stream sometime recently and I didn't watch
the VOD yet, but he like, like he like genuinely did a fucking stream of putting together a
jigsaw puzzle.
That's why.
Also, I think the retirement is cool because like him doing stuff with off-brand and like

(01:02:12):
with Ludwig and stuff, it's like.
Oh yeah.
The fucking Jerma dollhouse stream and the baseball stream and all this like specials
he's done.
I'm glad that he's like on a team of people now where it's like that's the thing that
he's mainly putting all of his time and energy into is like making more awesome like Twitch
shows because those are fucking awesome.
I don't care what background you come from, what kind of content you enjoy watching.

(01:02:36):
If you just like watching anything even a little bit funny, go and watch the Jerma
dollhouse streams, all three of them.
With the chat overlay as well is pretty nice to see as well to see them reacting to stuff
because it is so funny just like live improv ship with like with the chat interaction literally
spawning objects into the physical house into the dollhouse, the life-sized dollhouse and

(01:03:03):
it's just is so good and also the Jerma baseball stream is pretty good as well.
Like, it's not no no nothing can really like to me nothing is still topped the dollhouse
stream.
Like that's just in a league of its own.
I hope something tops it eventually.
But this just it made an unimaginable amount of iconic Twitch moments.

(01:03:26):
I think it's really awesome.
Yeah, Twitch, TwitchCon, the thing will be going to soon.
Yeah.
I mean that I think with that is a good place to end it.
Oh shit.
Yes.
We're like right at the hour mark.
Was there anything else you possibly want to talk about?
I believe I got to everything I wanted to talk about tonight.

(01:03:48):
And yeah, I guess just realistically, I guess the only other thing that I would probably
mention is now I've changed up like how my content uploading and scheduling works now.
I think you've seen this on Twitter.
I will be uploading YouTube videos bi weekly now instead.

(01:04:12):
And then during the weeks where I'm not uploading YouTube videos, I'll be releasing new chapters
or episodes of the Sierra Belt and Magistrate Curse comics.
So get more back into those because I really I just need to get back into those.
I'm going to give you shit in the in your video update announcement thing you do on
YouTube.
Not a single fucking time was the show mentioned, but it's fine.

(01:04:34):
I get it.
I don't care about you care about me and gears.
It's OK.
Nothing new going.
Just a lot of your community still has no idea that the show exists.
A lot of my community.
Not a lot of fair chunk of my community also for sure doesn't know the show still exists.
So you're slacking too.

(01:04:56):
I mean, I've definitely made a lot of things for a lot more, but like still, you know,
we got one thing I wanted to mention.
I don't like being a numbers Andy, but I've seen the numbers have been going up at least
on the YouTube side of things.
And that's nice to know that we're not just talking to the void.
There's people there and they're enjoying this shit.
And it still just makes me happy as well.
That like had some friends watch the show like like we've had gears showed his mother

(01:05:22):
and she loved it and then like no, but also, yeah, no, but it will be coming on the podcast
sometime soon as well as well as a bunch of other guests.
Guest episodes are soon very soon.
Sometime after Twitch con.
This is episode 1516.
Looks like it will be probably the gears and Faye one unless it doesn't happen.
1717 should be like us coming back from Twitch con and then episode 18 at the earliest is

(01:05:45):
when you guys will start seeing guest episodes and it's going to be great.
I'm super excited for some point also not this week, but sometime soon.
I'll have to talk about me and a Novus interview because that's going to release next week.
All right.
Absolutely.
Also, of course, you two will have a bit of an opportunity to mention it whenever he shows

(01:06:06):
up on.
Chances are I'll probably end up on his show before he ends up on ours because he'd probably
end up being somewhere like well, he or later slot in terms of like our stuff.
Stuff releases like way later.
So I'm saying I would at least be like end up getting I'd probably be recorded on his
show at some point before he's on ours just because we're a little bit we're a little

(01:06:30):
bit slow here.
We miss some some weeks of recording sometimes.
But you know, if you want to keep up to date on all these things, F3B podcast.com also
link below.
Find all of our socials and also the F3B podcast social itself, which retweets most of our
bullshit as well if you like want one centralized place for most stuff or just follow all of

(01:06:53):
us on everything.
That's also pretty cool.
You know, we're we're cool.
We're we're we're cool.
And we do we do a good we're cool and we do a good and yeah, I'm just still really happy
with how the show has been going.
Even though you know, today's episode is a little bit of a weird one.
But you know, whatever.
I've also been garnishing a lot of attention.
I will say that.

(01:07:13):
Yeah, you're getting all the attention.
While gears and I are slaving away editing and making thumbnails and uploading all this
shit and you just got to be here.
But we agreed on that in the first place.
So it's OK.
Don't give him shit for it.
I'll give you shit for it.
I'll give you shit for it myself.
But no one else is allowed to even even if they give me shit.

(01:07:35):
I don't care.
I fucking think it was a doorstep like that kind of.
I think it was a no that I told us to is either know it or someone.
I think I told it on a show.
The way that I run my Twitch chat is is if you break a rule or you do something that
I don't like, it's just public humiliation.

(01:07:56):
Yeah, I think that's how it goes.
Ross, my comment section is like that.
If someone says some dumb fucking comments on a on a Lewis Rossman video, he will just
pin it.
That's so funny to me.
That's funny.
I love it so much.
Yeah, I'll just probably humiliate you and then ban you.

(01:08:18):
Welp, if you have a public humiliation fetish, go to John's Twitch and say something like
a stupid or I don't know easy example homophobic.
Just find a way to annoy me.
Something like that, I guess.
Just find a way to annoy me.

(01:08:40):
Say something politically incorrect, say something like homophobic.
Don't actually.
Don't.
That I'm just going to ban you for.
Actually, I'll just report your Twitch chat or your Twitch account for that.
I was just going to ask, what is something you would just publicly humiliate for?
But then no, because then people are going to make alt accounts and do it or something.
No, I just put that idea in the heads now.

(01:09:02):
Good job.
Yeah, that's my problem.
Anyways, we're excited for the rest of the for the future of the show and we'll see you
guys once we're back from TwitchCon.
And yeah, next episode will either be like, Faye and Gears recording a little do episode
of their own or that might just be skipped and we just do the three slash four of us

(01:09:23):
back on the catch again.
Honestly, I want to see that power hour.
I think now the more talked about it, I think it'd be pretty cool.
But yeah, just keep up to date on these episodes and I hope to see you guys soon.
But we won't see you the next episode.
Doesn't seem like it at least.
But yeah, anything else to say?
Audio listeners love you to death.

(01:09:44):
Flamethrower into the camera.
Your skin is melted.
My skin is melting.
Good night, everybody.
That's not the word.
Say the word.
Oh, yeah.
Uh, ortuO.
What kind of a fucking language is that?
Outro but backwards.
That one counts.
And now this what I'm saying here is going to be after the after the end of the episode,

(01:10:12):
after the and then here's us saying the bullshit with the black and white screen over it.
I'm so glad you're on point with that.
I'm so glad you're on point with that.
That was funny.
I'm so glad you're on point with that.
