employee cuts too.
Yeah, that's sad about 9,000people, man.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, and that's been going on for a while.
We also want to talk about thelatest news from Capcom and from
Archworks System.
Mr Amazing, let's start theshow talking about Capcom.
Mr Amazing, they had a recentshowcase.
Mr Amazing, when you thinkabout that, Resident Evil was
shown, but not much details wasgiven out on Resident Evil 9,
(00:57):
correct?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yes, so we got a new, not franchise, but new.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Entry to the.
I was going Outbreak StateStreet Fighter but Resident Evil
franchise.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We're up to 9.
Resident Evil Requiem issupposed to release February 27,
2026.
And what I like about it it's30 years after the explosion,
the missiles dropped on RaccoonCity and we are introduced to a
new character named GraceAshcroft, who's pretty much an
FBI analyst that learns the waysof the Resident Evil saga
(01:31):
pretty much on the job, yo.
So it's pretty cool.
Actually they didn't show a lot, but they showed enough for,
you know, for revealing theResident Evil.
I thought it was pretty coolwhat the guys had to say on the
show.
So this character, she's new tothe game.
She doesn't know much aboutResident Evil.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I thought it was pretty cool what the guys had to
say on the show.
So this character she's new tothe game, she doesn't know much
about it Is her mother in theblast I believe so.
Mother was in the blast.
So how is other characters inResident Evil having?
30 years ago?
Were they teenagers In thepolice force?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Hey, it's a secret.
It's part of the.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Wait, the coca butter for the facial.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It's part of Racco City's mutant thing, I guess it
gives you young, exactly, man.
So I mean I like it because itbacks it.
It looks good.
Yeah, it does look good.
Absolutely.
It's a new character becausethey were actually thinking
about going with Leon actually.
(02:28):
But the reason they do I don'tknow if you saw the guy was
saying the reason they didn'tuse Leon is that Leon's a tough
guy.
Like how's it gonna look whenLeon's scared because of Bucket
Phil or he shakes because itdoesn't it?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
doesn't that the easy horror trope?
You put a woman there and it'seasy to get scared.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, that's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
That's a common horror trope in the movies and
video games, In most genres.
We'll go to reading books justthe same way.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, exactly Reading novels.
Exactly, you're 100% correct.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You rarely see a male protagonist in a horror movie.
The last one you're probably ina horror movie and in a video
game.
Can you name one?
I can name one off the top ofmy head Evil Within, what else?
Silent Hill, Silent Hill Okay,I mean we can't Until Dawn, but
(03:25):
there were several charactersuntil Dawn male and female.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
There were several of them actually.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And different nationalities.
So yeah, book on Mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, no, no.
I agree with what you're saying, though, but we'll see.
We'll see more.
Obviously, as the day comes,we'll get more feedback, more
trailers to go by, but I'mexcited by that.
We're back to the roots.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's amazing.
Can I ask Capcom one question?
What's up?
What's the character fromResident Evil 5?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Oh, the black dude from Africa.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
The black girl.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, from Africa, whatever happened to her.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
She's still in Africa , man, Capcom can you tell us
what happened to, because youalways bring these other
characters in for games.
They do remakes, blah, blahblah.
I know some people are set with.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Wasn't that not a fan favorite, though Was Five not a
fan favorite?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
No, it was some racial background People were
beefing about that, which I hadno problem with.
The game, I like it, let memyself.
African Americans, blackAmericans, we had no problem
with that.
Some people overstepped theirboundaries and said some oh,
this is great.
No, it's not.
Stop the nonsense.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
That's sad.
That is the last Resident EvilI beat.
I didn't play six or seven, Igot eight now.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I'll be honest, I've barely beat.
I've never beat Resident Evil.
I beat two Resident Evil games.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh, get out of here the first one I beat several
Call Veronica.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I beat that one too.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Raccoon City.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You didn't beat Nemesis.
No, that was interesting too,that big guy running after you,
that was fun.
I beat one, two, three, I beatfour, I beat five.
Call Veronica.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Str.
Strangely, I have all theResident Evil games, the updated
ones, but, mr Amazing, so isthis a day one purchase, mr
Amazing, oh absolutelyAbsolutely, and I just got eight
for Father's Day, so on the 8thI'll be up to date.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Y'all, I'm ready to play it.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
All right, Mr Amazing , but Mr Amazing before we go on
to this.
What is the one?
You really wanted to come backIf you had been hyped about.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Character-wise you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Talking about game-wise Resident Evil.
Which Resident Evil would youlike to see come back?
I know the one you always talkabout You're talking about Code
Veronica?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
probably yes, yeah, that would be cool.
That would be cool.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yes, but Mr Amazing.
That's probably in the worksPrank.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Prank my head looks really good, actually, I like it
.
It's Yume, I think his name isYu, with an android named Diana
that aids him on his quest,trying to get back to Earth.
It looks cool.
I mean, we've seen this conceptbefore, don't get me wrong, but
I do like everything about it.
It reminds me of one of myfavorite games, dead Space.
It kind of reminds me of thatwith the what Dead Space?
(06:03):
had a no.
No no that means like the waythe game moves and flows.
That's what I mean by that.
That, but obviously with somekind of aid.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I'm still skeptical about it.
I feel like you, even thecombat, even the combat where
you have to find certain areasand the girl AI has to, we'll
say hack it.
Yeah, well, that's certainareas, and the girl AI has to,
we'll say hack it.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, well, that's why they have frozen action.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And I know how slow the enemies are going.
Remember what I was saying oh,yeah, yeah, yeah, they go really
slow.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
The reason they go slow is because it's the
fighting mechanics, I think,because you have to be able to
hit them on their legs, hit themon arm to disable them.
So I think, to make the gamefair, it's a new fighting
mechanic.
I think that's why A newfighting mechanic, I think it
might be a little too slow.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
What's the?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
basis.
We'll see, we'll see.
Remember, they're slowing itdown to show it to the audience.
Remember, they're slowing itdown to show it to the audience.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, but that's the actual gameplay.
So basically, no, you're right.
So basically, the robots arewalking slowly.
I know they show some sceneswhere they have more than one
mechanical individuals attackingyou, and one of them had a
shield.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, I did see that.
Actually, I guess that must bea boss fight, probably, I don't
know.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I'm still skeptical about it.
It looks good.
Before I saw that, I waswondering what happened to it.
It's also on all systems?
Yes, if Xbox is still around.
But anyway, mr Mason, that'sactually a good point.
Street Fighter.
Mr Mason, yes, my homeboy Sagatis back, son.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yes, so we're getting a Season 3 pass now, and now
we're getting a Season 3 pass.
We're getting well, yes, we'regoing to see the 3 plus, but
we're getting new characters.
Who are they, ladies andgentlemen?
Sagat Summer it's coming verysoon, actually Very soon.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yes, it's coming in.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
August, august 6th, viper See Viper for the fall.
Alex for early spring of 2026.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Who likes Alex, who likes Alex, richard, richard and
my brother.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
My brother liked him too.
Yeah, alex, and you're alsogetting Ingrid late spring of
2026.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So pretty much a year I love him with.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Ingrid, I think.
You know, even I was thinking Ithink Ingrid's a new character,
not a new character.
But you know, I don't think Iuse.
Actually I never mess withIngrid.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Ingrid sounds like some old grandmother's name,
like your old grandma.
Remember Ingrid?
What Grandma.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Ingrid.
I had classmates named Ingrid.
I guess that makes me old y'all.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But the people don't have those names, no more.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Not popular anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Like Beverly.
Well, that's the first name.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Beverly.
It's been a while.
It's been a while.
Man, there's some names thatjust die, but yeah, so Ingrid.
No, she was an alpha.
I knew she was.
I had to Google it because Ididn't use Ingrid, but I know
who she is.
She was an alpha, so she'smaking a return y'all, so it
should be interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
What's one of your characters you're pumped up
about.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I like Saget.
Saget is dope See, Viper isalso really good too, actually.
So we'll see about that.
And a lot of people like Alex,because Alex, he's a good
grappler for you.
Alternative to Zagief.
You get Alex for that.
He would give me a problem too.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
so yeah, mr Mage just got a text from the boys
telling him to go come play withthem.
Yeah, yeah, they don't wantanother mic.
But I'll be honest, I'm not.
I like Street Fighter.
I'm not going to lie.
I play the modern level, andyou know what?
That's really popular in Japan,that level, the moderate, yes,
(09:38):
the moderate.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Modern is.
I think it's the new wave ofplayers that are joining the
game, although, like all myfriends, we've been playing for
years, decades.
We stuck with the classic butmodern.
If you were a Street Fighterand you want to get into it, or
you never got into it becauseyou thought it was difficult,
then the modern controller, itmight be the way for you to go.
(10:01):
You know, it depends.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I prefer it because, like I said, there's a couple
moves I really can never do.
It's that Z-Move, I can't, Ican't.
It's like a Z-Move, I can't doit.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, some moves, I just can't do it,
I just can't do it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And with the modern controls?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
oh, I love playing with Kami.
Well, she's very popular too.
I love playing with Kami, she'sjust.
The only thing with Kami isshe'll destroy, but she can't
take hits though.
Yeah, but they have to balanceher somehow, though.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah so she does go through fireballs and you can't,
if you can, strategize it.
What's she supposed to do infighting games while young Kamsa
is going reckless?
Oh, okay, okay, it's going allout like Wolverine Berserk all
the time.
Then you want to do your buttkick.
My people are really notplaying strategize, so I'm
(10:51):
excited about it.
I do have all the characters inStreet Fighter and I do like
the guys.
I would love to play them now,Not this week.
I'm not ready.
I'm not ready.
I'm not ready because I felloff.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
When Tekken dropped, we were playing football.
They were more advanced than me, so I was just like they'll
destroy me, so I just gave up,man loser.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So I fell off.
Speaker 2 (13:06):

Yeah, that came out.
It's already digital, it's notphysical yet.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, it's digital.
Yeah, and both look amazing.
They did a good job remasteringthat one and the new one when
he fights his long-lived nemesis.
I guess that looks pretty good.
That should be coming out nextyear, so can't wait to see that.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yo, yo, yo yo, Capcom , don't call the comeback.
They've been there for years,son.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, yeah, I mean they had a good show.
And then the biggest one of all, I guess it's not even Resident
Evil actually.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Monster Wild.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Monster Hunter Wild.
Yeah, I'm not a Monster HunterWild player to be, but it's a
bit.
It has a big following.
A lot of people love it and theshow was really focused on that
, to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I thought about getting digital so I could share
with you your play, becausebasically, it's more fun if you
have other players helping youkill the monsters.
Okay, there's like three othermonsters they included.
No, yeah, two new monsters theyincluded, and some new.
You can forge new weapons.
So that's it seems veryinteresting.
(14:26):
The two other monsters I don'tremember the name off the top of
my head.
They've been on previous gamesand they're making a comeback.
Okay, so let's see how that goes.
One of the monsters, I thinkit's Lazarus.
Yeah, they have been seeingsome monsters on the 3.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So you've played the series.

Well, we'll that um the college, the new college game, look
kind of funky, yeah, yeah wasnot going to get it.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I was like you can't crack.
You said that to me too.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I saw the new features and function.
We could talk about it in thenext podcast.
But I'm really feeling it.
I said yo, let me get this,because I thought the game was a
deal.
Let's get the Madden and thecollege football just digitally.
Just get it and get over with.
I mean, oh, that's true.
And regret I always had Ishould have got a two terabyte.
(16:03):
I know me too.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Because I didn't think I was going to need it,
because, like you know me, Iplay games, but I play limited
games.
I mean I play, you know, gamesI really, really want, so I
don't buy.
But I'm like damn, I shouldhave a lot of games this time
around.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I MySpace is ran low.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, it's ran low long time ago, it just sucks,
because I'm like damn, do I wantto buy another two terabyte?
Now it's like, do I really wantto spend the money on it?
By this point I feel like Imight just get the four, so what
?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
are you going to do with the other terabyte?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You can always download the games again.
I can always transfer it.
You can always transfer it, butwhat?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
are you going to do with that SD card you?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
have.
Oh, it's just in general, oh noextra terabyte.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
What are you going to do with that?
You can sell it.
You can sell it, I guess.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Transfer it to your four terabyte and sell it.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
No when our kids I used to supervise I was a
supervisor, I was foster carewhen the kids he had a full
terror.
He had mad games on it ofcourse I could imagine he had
mad games.
You would see all these gameson it first I didn't believe him
.
I saw almost the course.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I don't know how, I don't know how we got to wait to
pay for it.
We don't ask questions, mike.
We don't ask questions.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't ask questions .
That time period that's ourperiod.
But you know they got theirways.
But I have no other commonreference to that.
I was supervising that at thattime.
You know what I'm saying.
Protect the innocent, mike.
Protect the innocent, so we do.
But, mr Amazing, anything elseyou want to say about that?
No, that's it, man.
All right, mr Amazing, upSystem Works had a showcase as
(17:42):
well.
Mr Mazin, what'd you thinkabout that?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I mean it was interesting because you know I
had to fall back on Arc System.
What are they good for?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I was like oh, guilty Gear Fighting games.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Guilty Gear, blazblue .
So I was like, oh that's right,I had to think about it.
What do they make?
So yes, they had a showcase.
I ain't gonna lie, I don'tthink it was a great showcase.
And then they did show one verypopular game which I think you
and I both agree on.
What do you think?
It is?
Double Dragon, yeah, so DoubleDragon Revive.
(18:12):
That was probably the bestthing that they showed there.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
What do you think about Double Dragon Revive?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I thought it looks outdated.
Yo, no, I thought it wasoutdated.
The art looked outdated becauseI saw what they dot me did with
the beatups like that'sfireworks outside.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I saw what they did with that.
I saw what they did with one ofthe beatup games that's come
out recently.
You know the Karate Kid one.
I seen it, but this one, likethey, it looked outdated to me.
To be honest with you, Ithought don't get me wrong, just
that thing.
The picture is outdated, butthe fighting scheme is really
good because you're interactingwith the background, the terrain
(18:52):
.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
The area.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, that was really good.
I thought that was, and you getpower-ups, you get power-ups,
but I do think the picture was alittle bit outdated.
I do think that.
So you're saying Graffiti isoutdated.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Mr Maze, why are you trying to like jazz?
Un-jazz it.
No, no, just tell it what it is, Don't un-jazz it up.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
No, it is.
Tell it what it is, what youthought it was.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I thought it looked good.
It reminded me of Sleeping Dogs, where you interact with the
environment, and I think it's amust-have.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
And it's still in co-op.
It's dope yeah, it's onlineco-op and offline co-op, so I
think it's really cool.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I know the game you really was interested in.
I know you, I know you.
Wait when it comes out.
It comes out this year actually.
Yes, sorry, it comes out thisyear.

No, no, no, that usually is thecase, yeah it is the case, I am
going to buy Double DragonDubai actually.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Did they buy one for you for your Christmas or
birthday or something like that?
No, right, no.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I don't think so.
I usually buy a lot of BeetleGigs, the Streets of Rage, the
Shredders, the Ninja Turtles, Iusually buy.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Beetle Gigs.
I have one of the Shredders.
I have Karate Kid.
Karate Kid, yeah.
Also.
I just recently got MightyMorphin Power Rangers Good idea,
how's that?
It's pretty good you could playand the kids could play
whatever.
You know what.
I'm saying my kid Adriana, shedon't have a Switch, it's on the
(20:35):
Switch.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So Okay, okay, okay, but the game.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I think you dig.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Bubble Bob.
I know you was pumped up forthat.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Uh, yeah that was it bubble bob is a dinosaur who
does bubbles.
You lose strategy.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I'm very quiet right now, michael, I think.
I think this is when I startedfalling asleep.
This is why I came downstairsfor doing a show like this yo,
no, it didn't have me, butanother one, I thought another
one, I thought that was a littlebit different.
This, yo, no, it didn't have me, but another one I thought that
was a little bit different.
For me was did you see this one, jeremy Aiway?
Something like that.
Yeah, look at that.
You don't even know what I'mtalking about Wait, wait, wait,
(21:15):
curse.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You're talking about the one with the hand-painted.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
The Switch.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
The Switch one.
Yeah, the hand-painted drawingsand stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, I tried.
I was like let me pay attentionto what it is, yo.
So it's a textless adventuregame, as they called it, and the
, the producers of the game,said it's aimed for a woman
audience, so it wasn't for me.
And you then, and that's whyyou and I that's what you didn't
even know that I was talkingabout.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I knew who you were talking about, but I was like.
I was like, maybe there'sanother game.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
That's right.
I was like, let me get intothis.
What is this game?
But I could not get into it,and it is not made for me, but
for me.
For me, and I guess you as well, because you both felt the same
sentiment when it came to this.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I know, but another game that was there, hunter x
Hunter.
Okay, the new fighting gameHunter x Hunter.
Yeah, hunter x Hunter waspretty cool.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I thought that was pretty cool actually.
And then there was anotherbeat-em up there, absolutism I
think, and then that was by thesame studio that made the Ninja
Turtles Revenge game.
It was by the same studio, itwas another beat up, so that
looked okay.
I mean, I'm not running to goget that, to be honest with you,
but honestly, the only thingI'll keep it 100, the only thing
that impressed me from thisshowcase it was a very short
(22:30):
showcase.
On top of it, it was like 27minutes was pretty much Double
Dragon.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
That's the one I'm really looking forward to.
That's the one I was reallylooking forward to, to be honest
.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I keep it real.
That's really what I'm lookingfor.
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
But I did like Guilty Gear.
I'm a big Guilty Gear fan.
Oh yeah, guilty Gear has alwaysbeen dope, so they did have a
new character in the deuce andthey have a in that.
I didn't write that in the newcharacter's name, sorry people,
but that's something I'm reallyinterested in we getting into.
Okay, we have the game, so Idon't know.
(23:05):
I think me and you played it.
I played it, but I don't thinkme and you got deep into playing
it.
I've always been more of aGuilty Gear person than Mr
Amazing here.
Yeah, I played into playing it.
I've always been more of aguilty gear person than Mr
Amazing here.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, I played it, but, like you said, you were
more into it than I was than.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I am pardon me.
Yes, pardon you, mr Amazing.
All right, mr Amazing, let's goon to the next topic, mr
Amazing, okay, nintendo Switch2,.
Mr Amazing, it's a runaway hit,mr Amazing.
It's a runaway hit, mr Amazing.
Also, mr Amazing, best Buy hadit a couple of days ago in their
stores.
You had to get that, you had topounce on it right away.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I'm sure it sold out within minutes.
For those of you who track it,I guess.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, who were tracking it.
So that's been sold out.
But, mr Amazing, one of the badnews Third parties are not
getting the sales they thoughtthey would with Nintendo Switch
2.
And when you talk about thiswhen the Nintendo Switch 2 came
out, I'm thinking like if you'rea person who had a PlayStation
5 or Xbox, do we really countXbox?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Let's see what you count.
Xbox, that's kind of gaming.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Let's say, if you had a PlayStation 5 or.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
PC, pc, whatever.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
We're not really counting on Xbox One, I'm sorry,
and you have these gamesalready Cyberpunk, these other
games.
Will you really go out thereand buy a Switch and buy those
games, or are you going to?
You have those games already.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, Okay, so this is a little bit skewed.
Actually it's skewed forseveral reasons.
Is skewed.
Actually it's skewed forseveral reasons.
A a lot of people don't havethe system yet, so the cells are
not going to generate yet.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
No, no, no, Mr Maze.
No, but it's true, though, ifyou have to switch and most of
Okay According to, according toGame of Diz, okay, okay, mario
Kart was 80%, 80%, 80%.
All consoles bought.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
They bought Mario Kart, well of course that's the
number one game people are goingto want to play.
Of course, I believe that wecan say that right now, the
number one game that's going tobe for Nintendo is going to be
Mario Kart, followed by DonkeyKong, and I think Donkey Kong
might even outsell Mario Kart.
To be honest with you, Iwouldn't be surprised.
(25:31):
I think Donkey Kong is going tobe a big hit.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Actually fall back, fall back.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I do think Donkey Kong is going to put strong
numbers actually.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, Donkey Kong.
What else are you going to buy?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
That's what every system when they first come out,
the games are not there.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
No, that's a weak lineup and I told you that
before.
I don't think it's a weaklineup.
Donkey Kong and Mario are not aweak lineup.
Donkey Kong and Mario not aweak lineup.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
It's a weak lineup.
No, I don't think it's a weaklineup.
Weak.
You're talking about firstparty games or you're just
talking about games in general?
Games in general is weak.
Well, mario Kart and DonkeyKong are going to be the whole
Nintendo down.
Let's just say it wasn't a newsystem.
Donkey Kong and Mario Kart willhold you over for your
Christmas holiday sales,whatever you want to call it.
So I don't think it's awee-like, because those are
(26:16):
going to make money.
They'll outsell any othersystem to top-selling games as
well.
Those two games.
They can't hold their ownagainst any two top-selling.
Your Gears of War okay, it'llhold the sales just as strong as
them.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
But my point is that you're, I think you're, they
have gays but, like you said,there are gays a lot of people
already own on other consolesalready.
So that's, that is like, am Igoing to go buy it?
But remember, I was actuallycurious to play Street Fighter.
I was like I want to see howStreet Fighter is on the Switch
because, remember, for me when Ifirst you haven't played Street
Fighter.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
you like wasting money?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
No well, it's not wasting money.
I have history 5 on a Nintendo.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
God, I don't even know it was the last time, I'd
be curious, you wouldn't buy it.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I would, but there's a lot of other games that I
wouldn't mind buying.
The third parties.
Third party games like.
Death Stranding.
If you never played it, you getto follow the DLCs.
Why not?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
the only third-party game that has success.
Guess one, guess what, whichone?
Cyberpunk.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Oh yeah, I should have guessed that one.
That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Other ones, the developers, publishers, are
saying yo the expectations, giveit, time Give it time they're
going.
Damn, give it time, give ittime, they're going damn, we
expect they had highexpectations.
Now they got, they had to dumbit down because it didn't sell
that.
Well, give it time.
I said give it time, evenaccording to Game Biz.
Okay, according to Game Biz, itreported 62% of Switch 2
(27:50):
physical game sales in theUnited States were first party
games.
In Skooling America.
Skooling America bundles 40% inUnited Kingdom.
What is?
Oh sorry, pokemon yeah, yeah,it's 40% in United Kingdom were
first-party games.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Well, that's expected .
Most people got it because ofthe new Mario Kart.
That was a seller.
But I say, give it to ourpeople.
I think people are rushing withthese numbers, these charts,
graphs.
Give it time, let people getthe system, let more people get
it, then the numbers will go up.
It will go up.
I don't think people are likeyo, we're not going to start
making third party.
No, give it time, we'll see.
(28:32):
We'll see.
We'll see, we'll see when thebonds and other gains starts to
drop.
We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
All right, mr Amazing , let's go with our Trailer of
the Week.
Mr Amazing, our Trailer of theWeek is a classic, but I don't
know why they're bringing itback which one?
I know what you did last summer.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It looks bad.
It looks bad.
It's like okay.
It's like, yeah, this I meanI'm more a horror fan than Mr
Amazing no, but that I've seen,I've seen it.
But when I saw the trailer Iwas like, oh why.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I guess you captivate the new audience, new
generation.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I still say, okay, why?
I mean, the first one was a bigsuccess.
The first one, when they made acomeback was Scream 7.
I mean I said Scream yeah,scream 7 or 6.
What was that last one thatcame out?
So the last two, sorry, thelast two, but all right, mr
Mason, let's go to the trailerhi, thanks for coming.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Can you believe our best friends are getting married
.
I'm like, convoluted it, it becash, a check oh, my god, I'm
(30:14):
calling that one.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
What's that?
We don't tell anybody whathappened tonight.
We should go.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
What does it say?
What if someone saw us Outsideof us?
No one knows what happenedRight, right or less.
No one knows what happenedright.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
No, please, please, stop.
Someone is clearly coming afterus.
I need to start drinking.
The cops are not going to helpus.
Then we'll find someone whowill.
It isn't something I liketalking about.
(31:18):
You survived this once.
We need your help.
You can't run, you can't hide.
Get them before they get youyou.
(31:41):
Whoever's doing this, it'spersonal to them.
One of us is hiding something.
We are not going to die today.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
What are you waiting for, amazing?
I know what you did last summer, coming out July 18th.
Mr Amazing, what do you thinkof the trailer?
You know what I think, why?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I'm not gonna poo-poo on the party like you did.
I think it's alright.
It's not too bad, it's a newaudience, why not?
You do have original castmember on there.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Mr Amazing.
Yeah, why did the guy ranhimself off the road?
He did.
Why you just call the police?
Yes, this guy ran himself offthe road.
It's the same, with they havingthe same swap.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
No, no, let them breathe, michael.
Maybe there's a twist to itthat we don't know.
Get the freak out of here.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
There might be a twist that we don't know, it
might be a twist that we don'tknow.
Hollywood need more ideas.
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I'm okay with it.
It's a new generation, newpeople.
This movie came out 20, 30years ago, but they brought it
in the same format as Scream didScream 6.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Scream 6, yes, scream 6.
Yes, well, yes, we've got twoold characters.
One of them might die off.
True, you know, I don't know.
Huey died In 2006.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
So Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze is back.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yes, Sorry, spoiler alert.
We'll see what happened toBrandy.
Didn't Brandy survive?
Did Brandy survive?
One of them.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I think she did.
I think she did yo, I think shedid.
Well, we'll see.
I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I'm giving it a good light.
What did I also complain about?
They show too freaking much.
I think everybody does that now.
Something you just can't do.
That, Mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I think they do that Too much.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Too much, mr Amazing.
Too much.
Too much, mr man, too much.
I give this a yellow light.
I'll be different.
I'll give it a green.
Are you doing it different?
That's something you feel inyour heart, you want to give it
green.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I'm going to give it a green.
I think I'll give it a shot.
I mean, it's a summer movie,teenage.
I think it generate some money.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I'm hoping Drenman more than Megan.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Megan, Megan, Megan.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And I saw that coming I don't know, did I yell like
that or green light that?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I think we yelled, I think we did green light it, I
think we did.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Because I was very skeptical.
I'm like this is a sci-ficomedy thing they're doing and
it's something that came from ahorror genre.
So they came from a horrorgenre, so why are you just
switching over?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
And Bloodhouse.
I don't know what's going on,because the last movie Laid in
the Yard, yeah, which probablytwo people bought tickets for
that you know what I'm saying?
It was stupid.
I think two weeks later they'llsay I'll be nice.
Three weeks later it was onstreaming.
It felt like the final weekendit was on streaming.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Damn.
You're giving it that.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Gilly love it's garbage Straight, garbage Shoot.
If it came on, yo, let me tellyou something.
That movie came on TNT withcommercials.
I still wouldn't watch it.
Damn, if you held me down, tiedme up, I would still close my
eyes and not watch it.
Is that bad?
Yeah, it's bad.
You saw it or no?
I saw some of it.
(35:22):
It was garbage.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I didn't want to go see it.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
We did it's garbage.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
That sucks.
My daughter really liked thefirst one too so we were excited
about this.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
No, no, not that movie I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Megan.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Oh yeah, I saw Megan too, but Megan, I want to see
the goddamn Megan.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
She's excited about that.
So I'm like oh man, you cantake her to see it, she might
enjoy it, we'll wait, we'll wait.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
She might enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I'm like, I'm not going to, I'm not going to buy a
Blu we'll wait till it hits oneof the streamings we're going
Netflix.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Y'all go look at it Netflix.
Speaker 2 (35:56):

Speaker 1 (35:59):
I'm not gonna.
I'm not gonna flex and yo buy aBlu-ray or buy a digital.
Nah, son, they put like thisthey won't be able to steal a
bookcase for that game for thatmovie damn skippy, and I think
it's sold under 10 million.
Oh wow, under 10 million.
Oh wow, that's bad Box over 10million.
So you know, part three willnot be happening.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Probably not anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Unless Chucky's involved Probably.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Not happening.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Not happening, son.
So, mr Amazing, he green-slided.
I know what he did last summer.
Yeah, I'm going to green it, Isaid.
I said y'all like I said y'allare lying.
I said hell, no, Give this ared light, don't go see this.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Don't go see this.
We're going to come back whenthe numbers are strong.
No, not yet.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Not creative.
Yo, same formula as Scream 6.
No, sorry, it's not going towork.
We'll see when the hell isBrandy.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Maybe she's surprised , we don't know.
Like you said, they can'treveal everything in a
commercial.
Maybe that's what it was, maybethat is one.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Oh, they're going to do like the horror trope.
She's going to kill the blackpeople first.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
That's why they can't show her seed that.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
That's why they can't show a seed.
That's why they can't show aseed.
That's what happened.
Y'all should have knew it.
Mr Amazing, damn it All.
Right, mr Amazing, let's go to.
Should we care to happen, mrAmazing?
Yes, sir.
Mr.
Amazing bad news for Xboxfanboys, xbox supporters, xbox
(37:38):
console buyers, microsoft isdoing what they always do Make
cuts.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, it's a big cut too, man.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Cuts after cuts, yeah .
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Mr Amazing.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I mean, Phil Spencer is a nice dude.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
He needs to get himself cut.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
He sent a memo to staff today addressing the cuts,
claiming the job losses werenecessary to allow for the
enduring success of the Xbox.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
But the Xbox is not going away, though Bullshit.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Of course, I didn't even wait.
I actually did it, mr Mason.
So, mr Mason, part of one ofthe cancellations is the game
you're looking forward to.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
I know Perfect Dark.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Perfect Dark.
Yeah, and the studio's closeddown initiative, damn.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
I was really looking for that, Raven okay.
Go to Sony y'all.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Okay, Rez Everwild announced in 2019.
It's was amazing.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Canceled.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Canceled.
Forrester Major cut 70employees were lost.
Wow, wow.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
And this is not just game studios, this is just
Microsoft across the board.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Microsoft across the board, man.
But they said Xbox was makingprofits or Microsoft in general
was making profits.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yeah, I guess not.
Not what they're looking for.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
I mean turn 10 studios.
Which was the makers of ForzaSports or developers of Forza
Sports?
Yeah, I don't know if he said70 people got laid off, but it's
the 50% of four sports.
Yeah, 70.
I don't know who said 70 peoplegot laid off, but it's the 50%
of the staff.
Wow, so.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I guess the new Xbox handheld team up with Ally is
not generating the height theywanted, man, and I guess with
the AI stuff you compete with AIalso.
It just sucks the way the techworld is set up these days, man.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
ZeniMax their Elder Scrolls Online.
The Elder Scrolls Onlinedeveloper.
Yeah, guess what Mr Mason?
Axe, not Axe the new MMO.
Most likely it's not coming out.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Damn, this is not a good look.
This is not a good look Becausewhat scares me now is that
others you're going to seeothers follow.
You're going to see other bigtechs follow.
Now I wasn't surprised you'rehearing this from Apple.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
I'm sorry, mr Maze.
Let's go to GameSpot.
They said the new MMO fromElder Scrolls online developer
Zinamax online store, reportedlycodenamed Blackboard, was said
to be cancelled.
Reportedly codenamed Blackboardwas said to be cancelled.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Mr Mason, we spoke about that too, wow.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
High Moon, the makers of Transformer video games yeah
, the good ones before theystarted sending crappy ones.
They also took cuts in thestaff, mr Mason, they were the
students that helped out makeCall of Duty.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah this is what happens with Microsoft.
For us Buying studios left andright, we knew something was
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
But Mr Mason.
Then I says, mr Mason, how thehell are you going to manage all
those studios?
Speaker 2 (40:45):
It's impossible.
And then, on top of that,you're not selling the way
you're supposed to be selling.
So it was bound to happen.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
If Sony had did this, they'd be like it's over.
I don't close the door to theMicrosoft, it's over.
Yeah, you're right, but, like Isaid after we battled out of
the Sony jug, there's too manystudios to manage and all the
funding puts the profits up.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
It's just no it is, and being able to release this
without interfering with others,it's a lot, it's a lot of
business.
Business is not as easy as wewant to believe it is you're is.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
You're awesome, Mr Maizen.
Sledgehammer Games yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Doing the cuts.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Well, Xbox gonna give it to you.
They're gonna give it to you.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
They might not be able to.
They're giving you cuts.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
That's all they're doing man, Mr Maizen, Xbox Fame
Studio.
Guess what, Mr Maizen?
What's the most famous game?
Don't tell me Halo.
Halo's doing cuts.
Mr Amazing Famous, what's theXbox's?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
most famous game.
Don't tell me Halo.
Halo's doing cuts, mr Amazing,damn, damn.
If.
Gears of War, what's it called?
Again the remade one?
I forgot what it's called.
What was it coming out?
I thought so I'll be worriedtoo for that.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
I'm getting it for PS5.
Before I wasn't getting it, butI said I was going to get it
for PS5.
Let's see an Xbox logo on thePS5.
We never thought we'd see Gearsof War on the PS5.
And Sony in general.
That is true.
But, mr Mason, yes sir, shouldwe care a lot, a little or not
at all about this, mr Amazing?
Speaker 2 (42:14):
I'm not surprised.
To be honest with you, I can'tcare a lot because I'm not
surprised and in a way Xbox hasbeen doing just in general.
But, like I said, it's not justa Xbox Microsoft thing, xbox
thing, it's a Microsoft cutthing.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
I'm also doing cuts.
Yeah, yeah, I understand doingcuts and, like I said I they're
doing great profits, but that'sthe way of the world.
That's the way of the world.
So unfortunately a lot ofpeople got laid off.
I hope they found a new placeat Sony.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Nintendo.
I know Nintendo, whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Whatever studio they go to and you know, start a new,
start their own studio.
There you go.
You know what I'm saying,because one thing in the video
game industry is lacking ofcreativity.
Yeah, that's true too,creativity.
So, mr Mazin, I don't care.
Oh, I care about the peoplelosing their jobs, but I reached
(43:07):
a point and we used to give in.
Some of our shows give hope.
This is the year Xbox is goingto do it.
I'm not stopping doing that.
You stop.
I think I gave a little more.
I'm not the Xbox, I'm not theXbox biggest fan, because I've
always been more critical ofthem than you were.
Then.
Then you became more criticaland I felt back like yo, maybe
this year Now, like I don't care.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
Do you think I care I ?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
just want to go to the third party.
Yeah what's that game?
Oh shit, that game I can'tremember.
Yeah, me too.
Stay with the K.
Stay with the K.
Stay with the.
K that shit didn't come out.
(43:52):
I thought about, oh, that mightbe a good game.
That didn't come out.
That game Contribute that cameout.
That is true too.
We were both looking for it,but we don't have to worry about
that, no more.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
I hope another studio picks it up, though, to be
honest with you, that game needsto come out, no.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
No, Microsoft owns it .
So no, we're not happy with MrAmazing.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
But what kind of Microsoft owns it?
They don't care about puttingthe games we're going to put out
on other systems.
So I can easily see someonelike, yeah, we'll buy this off
of you for Perfect Doctor tocome out Like we said it's a
third party system man.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
No, it's no chance, mr Mazin, we'll see, like the
Vince McMahon no chance.
You know what I mean.
But the theme song no chanceWe'll see, mr Mazin.
Let's go to the gangsta Wanks,to the weak.
Mr Mazin, give it to me.
I know you have one, I have one.
You go to our greatestpresident of all time.
I'm being sarcastic, mr DonaldTrump, go out, say it before he
(44:49):
cancels us.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
So, as we all know, next year, 2026, america will be
turning 250 years old and tohonor that, Mr Trump is going to
hold a UFC fight at the WhiteHouse lawn.
Ladies and gentlemen, this iscrazy.
(45:14):
I'm keeping real with you.
This is crazy Because I can't.
It's like telling me yo Biden,obama, bush, whoever you want
President Reagan is having theWWE SummerSlam at the White
House lawn, or?
Boxing man or boxing, yeah, orJoe Frazier, you know the big
fight that happened in Africa.
(45:34):
It wasn't Philippines.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
The Tour de Manila.
The Tour de Manila, yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
That was Philippines, africa.
Well, anyway, I'm partying fromnow on.
Remember?
Right now, tour de Manila onthe White House lawn.
Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, yo,that is crazy, insane, and I
don't know how people wouldeasily support this, but I
digress.
He's the president dammit, andhe has very good connection with
the white so it's gonna happen.
(46:00):
I just thought of this is thatwhat you would do at the White
House though?
The law of kids security?
I just think it was yeah, butdo you want?
Is that what you want at theWhite House, though, on the lawn
, on the lawn, kids, you knowlike.
Is it security?
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
I just think it's not a good idea.
I think it's a lot of money,that's a lot of money involved,
but like this is the White House.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
But Mr Mason, the question is, is he he's?
Gangsta.
He's gangsta, mr Mason.
I'm a gangster man.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I'm sorry.
He's sorry, but I'm thebleeping president.
I can do what the hell I want.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Yeah, but your audience is not.
Remember you're a president ofthe world and your audience is
not all this.
To be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
You know what reminds me of this?
Speaker 2 (46:40):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (46:41):
Gladiators when Roman Empire has two people.
Yes, it's so funny.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
I just was watching Gladiators with two with Denzel
Washington.
I just stopped watching.
You know my face.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
You know what I think of that movie.
You know my face.
That thing was straight upgarbage.
That was hot garbage.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
I don't think it was hot garbage.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
I disagree it was hot garbage.
I just watched it's very freshin my head right now.
It's like hot garbage you cansmell, I don't think Maximus Sun
Hano, whatever his name was.
I don't think he had the appeal.
Mr Mason, you know his nameBecause the rock said it doesn't
matter, it was garbage.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
I don't think he had the appeal, like you know.
Like you know, like it doesn'tmatter, mr.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
Mason, I don't think it was hot garbage, hot garbage.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
I think Denzel did a pretty good job.
It's hot garbage.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
but Mr Mason president is gangster for you.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Yes, I'm going gangster.
I don't think it's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
December 250th anniversary I don't think that's
the right call yo he's gangster, pull it off, go right ahead,
man he's gonna pull it off.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
Go right ahead, man.
He's going to pull it offbecause he's friends with the
USC with the companies.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
He's friends with Dana White, so they're going to
pull it off.
Do I think it's something Iwould do?
No, I think it's.
You know.
Like I said, in my view, theRome's the gladiator.
They have two gladiators.
Come on, thumbs up, thumbs down, kill him, yeah.
I was like he's going to dothat Kill him.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
You know what's so sad he is going to do that.
Remember, it's the point.
You said that because I couldsee it, but not to kill him,
obviously.
Yeah, but like you know, Icould see him doing that.
Be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
I so could see him doing that.
Mr Amazing John Jones,heavyweight champion, yes has
not defended this title foralmost a year.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
Wow, over a year you gotta resent that thing, baby.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
Mr Amazing Tom Asselwall, who is the intimate
heavyweight intern how would yousay that Intermediate,
intermediate heavyweightchampion, john Jones, instead of
fighting him, decided to retire, definitely makes the move.
They was calling him a duck.
People on Intel was calling hima duck for the past couple
(48:54):
months.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
They called him a duck because he was ducking him,
and rightfully so.
If you knew he was going toretire, you should get that
fight a while back.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
But maybe UFC was trying to hold them back.
Try to convince them not toretire.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
So, and John Jones spilled the beans.
Wow so, Mr Amazing, it is whatit is.
I give him the wankster of theweek.
Oh week, wow.
So, mr Amazing, let's go outand shout out the week.
Mr Amazing, alright, go out andshout out the week.
Mr Amazing, alright, shout outthe week.
It goes out.
A hard star, but he's not, youknow, unfortunately, red Panda
(49:32):
yeah, you all know her.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
A lot of people don't know who she is, but she's that
person in NBA 2K.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
Yeah, that's on the unicycle, she's the person on
the unicycle who bounds thedistance and stuff like that.
She's actually a real personwho does participate in the
halftime show.
Very creative, very talentedlady.
Unfortunately she hurt herselfat the commissioners game, At
the WNBA game.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Yeah, I think it was Indiana versus.
I can't remember who Indianawas, but yeah, it was at the
WNBA game.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
She fell, you hurt her wrist.
So they the was at the NBA game.
She fell, she hurt her wrist.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
So they the Fever I believe it was the Fever.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
Staff actually went with her, yeah, to the hospital,
made sure she was okay.
So she's okay.
Hopefully she'll be back.
Speaker 2 (50:13):
She'll be back performing soon.
Yeah, she's older now, so youknow.
Speaker 1 (50:17):
She'll be back for the NBA season, probably, so of
luck.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
Absolutely.
We need to see you at NBA 2K.
I want her to get paid.
I'm sure she's getting paid alot more If you have her
likeness in the game you got toget paid, she might get a
$20,000 check.
I think it's more than that.
I think it's more than that.
Speaker 1 (50:34):
Some plays are going in like $1,000.
Speaker 2 (50:37):
But she's been at 2K for a while, dude.
It's not her first rodeo in it,so who knows?
But anyway, shout out to her,man, shout out to her.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
I hope she feels better.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
All right, Mr May, anything you want to say before
we end the show.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
Oh man, we're not going to mention something on
the show.
I was waiting for this topic.
Speaker 1 (50:55):
What's mentioned, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
Chuck E Cheese man, oh man.
So, ladies and gentlemen, forthose who have kids, nieces,
nephews, I'm sure at one pointin your life you went to a Chuck
E Cheese party.
You let the kids have fun whileyou sat down and ate that pizza
.
But guess what, guys?
You no longer have to justwatch the kids.
You'll be able to partake atChuck's Arcade, because Chuck's
(51:21):
Arcade is going.
This place is super exciting.
Yes, I am, am y'all?
Chuck's Arcade is going to be amodern day, pretty much David
Buster's for adults yeah sopretty much what it is actually,
but around onearound one exactly.
So you're gonna have adult,adult theme arcades, you're
(51:43):
gonna have liquor, beer, wine,all that good stuff, and you're
going to be able to enjoyyourself and get prizes while
you do that.
So it's pretty much a DavidBuster.
And it's funny because DavidBuster actually, I think, was
close to filing bankruptcy, orif it did file bankruptcy.
So that's why, yeah, so this iswhy the sneak up with this
coming in is like no-transcript.
Oh, that's what you're doing.
(52:04):
And Chuck E Cheese followedbankruptcy during COVID, so they
remodeled almost all theirstores.
Speaker 1 (52:10):
They must probably have the same problem too.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
Probably the same problem too, but Mr Imagine, you
know what Tell you know whatI'm going to say?
Dead Busters, reach out to usto reach out to us.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
No, no, hey, I'm still pushing that idea.
We got an idea for them.
So give a Game of Traffic,shout out, we can make it happen
absolutely man you know whatI'm saying?
Alright, people, this is theGame of Traffic Show we out.
Speaker 2 (52:43):
Later.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Later Outro Music.
Let's do this.
Welcome everybody to anotherepisode of the Game of Traffic
show.
I'm your host, mike Sampson,chilling with my co-host, sip
your amazin' by doing today.
Everybody give it up for MrAmazing.
On today's Game of Traffic showwe're going to talk about
Microsoft.
Everybody know Microsoft isdoing Microsoft stuff.
We just closed down what MrMazin.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Many more studios.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yes, and doing what cuts?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Game cuts too, man Yep, and employee cuts, and
employee cuts too.
Yeah, that's sad about 9,000people, man.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, and that's been going on for a while.
We also want to talk about thelatest news from Capcom and from
Archworks System.
Mr Amazing, let's start theshow talking about Capcom.
Mr Amazing, they had a recentshowcase.
Mr Amazing, when you thinkabout that, Resident Evil was
shown, but not much details wasgiven out on Resident Evil 9,
(00:57):
correct?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yes, so we got a new, not franchise, but new.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Entry to the.
I was going Outbreak StateStreet Fighter but Resident Evil
franchise.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We're up to 9.
Resident Evil Requiem issupposed to release February 27,
2026.
And what I like about it it's30 years after the explosion,
the missiles dropped on RaccoonCity and we are introduced to a
new character named GraceAshcroft, who's pretty much an
FBI analyst that learns the waysof the Resident Evil saga
(01:31):
pretty much on the job, yo.
So it's pretty cool.
Actually they didn't show a lot, but they showed enough for,
you know, for revealing theResident Evil.
I thought it was pretty coolwhat the guys had to say on the
show.
So this character, she's new tothe game.
She doesn't know much aboutResident Evil.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I thought it was pretty cool what the guys had to
say on the show.
So this character she's new tothe game, she doesn't know much
about it Is her mother in theblast I believe so.
Mother was in the blast.
So how is other characters inResident Evil having?
30 years ago?
Were they teenagers In thepolice force?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Hey, it's a secret.
It's part of the.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Wait, the coca butter for the facial.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It's part of Racco City's mutant thing, I guess it
gives you young, exactly, man.
So I mean I like it because itbacks it.
It looks good.
Yeah, it does look good.
Absolutely.
It's a new character becausethey were actually thinking
about going with Leon actually.
(02:28):
But the reason they do I don'tknow if you saw the guy was
saying the reason they didn'tuse Leon is that Leon's a tough
guy.
Like how's it gonna look whenLeon's scared because of Bucket
Phil or he shakes because itdoesn't it?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
doesn't that the easy horror trope?
You put a woman there and it'seasy to get scared.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, that's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
That's a common horror trope in the movies and
video games, In most genres.
We'll go to reading books justthe same way.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, exactly Reading novels.
Exactly, you're 100% correct.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You rarely see a male protagonist in a horror movie.
The last one you're probably ina horror movie and in a video
game.
Can you name one?
I can name one off the top ofmy head Evil Within, what else?
Silent Hill, Silent Hill Okay,I mean we can't Until Dawn, but
(03:25):
there were several charactersuntil Dawn male and female.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
There were several of them actually.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And different nationalities.
So yeah, book on Mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, no, no.
I agree with what you're saying, though, but we'll see.
We'll see more.
Obviously, as the day comes,we'll get more feedback, more
trailers to go by, but I'mexcited by that.
We're back to the roots.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's amazing.
Can I ask Capcom one question?
What's up?
What's the character fromResident Evil 5?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Oh, the black dude from Africa.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
The black girl.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, from Africa, whatever happened to her.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
She's still in Africa , man, Capcom can you tell us
what happened to, because youalways bring these other
characters in for games.
They do remakes, blah, blahblah.
I know some people are set with.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Wasn't that not a fan favorite, though Was Five not a
fan favorite?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
No, it was some racial background People were
beefing about that, which I hadno problem with.
The game, I like it, let memyself.
African Americans, blackAmericans, we had no problem
with that.
Some people overstepped theirboundaries and said some oh,
this is great.
No, it's not.
Stop the nonsense.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
That's sad.
That is the last Resident EvilI beat.
I didn't play six or seven, Igot eight now.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I'll be honest, I've barely beat.
I've never beat Resident Evil.
I beat two Resident Evil games.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh, get out of here the first one I beat several
Call Veronica.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I beat that one too.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Raccoon City.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You didn't beat Nemesis.
No, that was interesting too,that big guy running after you,
that was fun.
I beat one, two, three, I beatfour, I beat five.
Call Veronica.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Str.
Strangely, I have all theResident Evil games, the updated
ones, but, mr Amazing, so isthis a day one purchase, mr
Amazing, oh absolutelyAbsolutely, and I just got eight
for Father's Day, so on the 8thI'll be up to date.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Y'all, I'm ready to play it.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
All right, Mr Amazing , but Mr Amazing before we go on
to this.
What is the one?
You really wanted to come backIf you had been hyped about.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Character-wise you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Talking about game-wise Resident Evil.
Which Resident Evil would youlike to see come back?
I know the one you always talkabout You're talking about Code
Veronica?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
probably yes, yeah, that would be cool.
That would be cool.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yes, but Mr Amazing.
That's probably in the worksPrank.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Prank my head looks really good, actually, I like it
.
It's Yume, I think his name isYu, with an android named Diana
that aids him on his quest,trying to get back to Earth.
It looks cool.
I mean, we've seen this conceptbefore, don't get me wrong, but
I do like everything about it.
It reminds me of one of myfavorite games, dead Space.
It kind of reminds me of thatwith the what Dead Space?
(06:03):
had a no.
No no that means like the waythe game moves and flows.
That's what I mean by that.
That, but obviously with somekind of aid.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I'm still skeptical about it.
I feel like you, even thecombat, even the combat where
you have to find certain areasand the girl AI has to, we'll
say hack it.
Yeah, well, that's certainareas, and the girl AI has to,
we'll say hack it.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, well, that's why they have frozen action.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And I know how slow the enemies are going.
Remember what I was saying oh,yeah, yeah, yeah, they go really
slow.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
The reason they go slow is because it's the
fighting mechanics, I think,because you have to be able to
hit them on their legs, hit themon arm to disable them.
So I think, to make the gamefair, it's a new fighting
mechanic.
I think that's why A newfighting mechanic, I think it
might be a little too slow.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
What's the?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
basis.
We'll see, we'll see.
Remember, they're slowing itdown to show it to the audience.
Remember, they're slowing itdown to show it to the audience.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, but that's the actual gameplay.
So basically, no, you're right.
So basically, the robots arewalking slowly.
I know they show some sceneswhere they have more than one
mechanical individuals attackingyou, and one of them had a
shield.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, I did see that.
Actually, I guess that must bea boss fight, probably, I don't
know.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I'm still skeptical about it.
It looks good.
Before I saw that, I waswondering what happened to it.
It's also on all systems?
Yes, if Xbox is still around.
But anyway, mr Mason, that'sactually a good point.
Street Fighter.
Mr Mason, yes, my homeboy Sagatis back, son.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yes, so we're getting a Season 3 pass now, and now
we're getting a Season 3 pass.
We're getting well, yes, we'regoing to see the 3 plus, but
we're getting new characters.
Who are they, ladies andgentlemen?
Sagat Summer it's coming verysoon, actually Very soon.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yes, it's coming in.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
August, august 6th, viper See Viper for the fall.
Alex for early spring of 2026.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Who likes Alex, who likes Alex, richard, richard and
my brother.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
My brother liked him too.
Yeah, alex, and you're alsogetting Ingrid late spring of
2026.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So pretty much a year I love him with.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Ingrid, I think.
You know, even I was thinking Ithink Ingrid's a new character,
not a new character.
But you know, I don't think Iuse.
Actually I never mess withIngrid.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Ingrid sounds like some old grandmother's name,
like your old grandma.
Remember Ingrid?
What Grandma.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Ingrid.
I had classmates named Ingrid.
I guess that makes me old y'all.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But the people don't have those names, no more.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Not popular anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Like Beverly.
Well, that's the first name.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Beverly.
It's been a while.
It's been a while.
Man, there's some names thatjust die, but yeah, so Ingrid.
No, she was an alpha.
I knew she was.
I had to Google it because Ididn't use Ingrid, but I know
who she is.
She was an alpha, so she'smaking a return y'all, so it
should be interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
What's one of your characters you're pumped up
about.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I like Saget.
Saget is dope See, Viper isalso really good too, actually.
So we'll see about that.
And a lot of people like Alex,because Alex, he's a good
grappler for you.
Alternative to Zagief.
You get Alex for that.
He would give me a problem too.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
so yeah, mr Mage just got a text from the boys
telling him to go come play withthem.
Yeah, yeah, they don't wantanother mic.
But I'll be honest, I'm not.
I like Street Fighter.
I'm not going to lie.
I play the modern level, andyou know what?
That's really popular in Japan,that level, the moderate, yes,
(09:38):
the moderate.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Modern is.
I think it's the new wave ofplayers that are joining the
game, although, like all myfriends, we've been playing for
years, decades.
We stuck with the classic butmodern.
If you were a Street Fighterand you want to get into it, or
you never got into it becauseyou thought it was difficult,
then the modern controller, itmight be the way for you to go.
(10:01):
You know, it depends.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I prefer it because, like I said, there's a couple
moves I really can never do.

The only thing with Kami isshe'll destroy, but she can't
take hits though.
Yeah, but they have to balanceher somehow, though.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah so she does go through fireballs and you can't,
if you can, strategize it.
What's she supposed to do infighting games while young Kamsa
is going reckless?
Oh, okay, okay, it's going allout like Wolverine Berserk all

Speaker 1 (13:05):
So I fell off.
Speaker 2 (13:06):

Yeah Well, mr Bezos, go on to Oshimi or Onomusha,
onomusha, the Wave of Sword.

It came out already the La Oimisha 2.
Yeah, that came out.
It's already digital, it's notphysical yet.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, it's digital.
Yeah, and both look amazing.
They did a good job remasteringthat one and the new one when
he fights his long-lived nemesis.
I guess that looks pretty good.
That should be coming out nextyear, so can't wait to see that.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yo, yo, yo yo, Capcom , don't call the comeback.
They've been there for years,son.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, yeah, I mean they had a good show.
And then the biggest one of all, I guess it's not even Resident
Evil actually.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Monster Wild.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Monster Hunter Wild.
Yeah, I'm not a Monster HunterWild player to be, but it's a
bit.
It has a big following.
A lot of people love it and theshow was really focused on that
, to be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I thought about getting digital so I could share
with you your play, becausebasically, it's more fun if you
have other players helping youkill the monsters.
Okay, there's like three othermonsters they included.
No, yeah, two new monsters theyincluded, and some new.
You can forge new weapons.
So that's it seems veryinteresting.
(14:26):
The two other monsters I don'tremember the name off the top of
my head.
They've been on previous gamesand they're making a comeback.
Okay, so let's see how that goes.
One of the monsters, I thinkit's Lazarus.
Yeah, they have been seeingsome monsters on the 3.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So you've played the series.
You're familiar with the series.
Yeah, I'm familiar with theseries.
Oh, okay, I'm familiar with theseries.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I have it for the Switch, monster Hunter Rise, and
I have the other one, the lastone on the PlayStation.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Oh, okay, okay, okay, oh, so you're better than me
then.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
You know, so I'm not better than you.
Thank you for acknowledgingthat.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
We're Monster Hunter.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah, monster yeah all right, don't forget who's
the Madden champ, so Maddenchamp.

Well, we'll that um the college, the new college game, look
kind of funky, yeah, yeah wasnot going to get it.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I was like you can't crack.
You said that to me too.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I saw the new features and function.
We could talk about it in thenext podcast.
But I'm really feeling it.
I said yo, let me get this,because I thought the game was a
deal.
Let's get the Madden and thecollege football just digitally.
Just get it and get over with.
I mean, oh, that's true.
And regret I always had Ishould have got a two terabyte.
(16:03):
I know me too.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Because I didn't think I was going to need it,
because, like you know me, Iplay games, but I play limited
games.
I mean I play, you know, gamesI really, really want, so I
don't buy.
But I'm like damn, I shouldhave a lot of games this time
around.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I MySpace is ran low.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, it's ran low long time ago, it just sucks,
because I'm like damn, do I wantto buy another two terabyte?
Now it's like, do I really wantto spend the money on it?
By this point I feel like Imight just get the four, so what
?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
are you going to do with the other terabyte?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You can always download the games again.
I can always transfer it.
You can always transfer it, butwhat?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
are you going to do with that SD card you?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
have.
Oh, it's just in general, oh noextra terabyte.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
What are you going to do with that?
You can sell it.
You can sell it, I guess.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Transfer it to your four terabyte and sell it.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
No when our kids I used to supervise I was a
supervisor, I was foster carewhen the kids he had a full
terror.
He had mad games on it ofcourse I could imagine he had
mad games.
You would see all these gameson it first I didn't believe him
.
I saw almost the course.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I don't know how, I don't know how we got to wait to
pay for it.
We don't ask questions, mike.
We don't ask questions.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't ask questions .
That time period that's ourperiod.
But you know they got theirways.
But I have no other commonreference to that.
I was supervising that at thattime.
You know what I'm saying.
Protect the innocent, mike.
Protect the innocent, so we do.
But, mr Amazing, anything elseyou want to say about that?
No, that's it, man.
All right, mr Amazing, upSystem Works had a showcase as
(17:42):
well.
Mr Mazin, what'd you thinkabout that?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I mean it was interesting because you know I
had to fall back on Arc System.
What are they good for?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I was like oh, guilty Gear Fighting games.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Guilty Gear, blazblue .
So I was like, oh that's right,I had to think about it.
What do they make?
So yes, they had a showcase.
I ain't gonna lie, I don'tthink it was a great showcase.
And then they did show one verypopular game which I think you
and I both agree on.
What do you think?
It is?
Double Dragon, yeah, so DoubleDragon Revive.
(18:12):
That was probably the bestthing that they showed there.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
What do you think about Double Dragon Revive?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I thought it looks outdated.
Yo, no, I thought it wasoutdated.
The art looked outdated becauseI saw what they dot me did with
the beatups like that'sfireworks outside.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I saw what they did with that.
I saw what they did with one ofthe beatup games that's come
out recently.
You know the Karate Kid one.
I seen it, but this one, likethey, it looked outdated to me.
To be honest with you, Ithought don't get me wrong, just
that thing.
The picture is outdated, butthe fighting scheme is really
good because you're interactingwith the background, the terrain
(18:52):
.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
The area.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, that was really good.
I thought that was, and you getpower-ups, you get power-ups,
but I do think the picture was alittle bit outdated.
I do think that.
So you're saying Graffiti isoutdated.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Mr Maze, why are you trying to like jazz?
Un-jazz it.
No, no, just tell it what it is, Don't un-jazz it up.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
No, it is.
Tell it what it is, what youthought it was.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I thought it looked good.
It reminded me of Sleeping Dogs, where you interact with the
environment, and I think it's amust-have.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
And it's still in co-op.
It's dope yeah, it's onlineco-op and offline co-op, so I
think it's really cool.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I know the game you really was interested in.
I know you, I know you.
Wait when it comes out.
It comes out this year actually.
Yes, sorry, it comes out thisyear.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
October, yeah, october 23rd.
October what game were youthere on just today?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
This is not a game one for you.
Which one Dragon?
I'm getting it.
No, no, no.
I'm going to get it.
No, no, no.
Those are Latin people.
I'm going to get it.
You're going to play with me?
Stop the.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
BS.
No, no, no, that usually is thecase, yeah it is the case, I am
going to buy Double DragonDubai actually.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Did they buy one for you for your Christmas or
birthday or something like that?
No, right, no.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I don't think so.
I usually buy a lot of BeetleGigs, the Streets of Rage, the
Shredders, the Ninja Turtles, Iusually buy.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Beetle Gigs.
I have one of the Shredders.
I have Karate Kid.
Karate Kid, yeah.
Also.
I just recently got MightyMorphin Power Rangers Good idea,
how's that?
It's pretty good you could playand the kids could play
whatever.
You know what.
I'm saying my kid Adriana, shedon't have a Switch, it's on the
(20:35):
Switch.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So Okay, okay, okay, but the game.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I think you dig.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Bubble Bob.
I know you was pumped up forthat.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Uh, yeah that was it bubble bob is a dinosaur who
does bubbles.
You lose strategy.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I'm very quiet right now, michael, I think.
I think this is when I startedfalling asleep.
This is why I came downstairsfor doing a show like this yo,
no, it didn't have me, butanother one, I thought another
one, I thought that was a littlebit different.
This, yo, no, it didn't have me, but another one I thought that
was a little bit different.
For me was did you see this one, jeremy Aiway?
Something like that.
Yeah, look at that.
You don't even know what I'mtalking about Wait, wait, wait,
(21:15):
curse.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You're talking about the one with the hand-painted.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
The Switch.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
The Switch one.
Yeah, the hand-painted drawingsand stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, I tried.
I was like let me pay attentionto what it is, yo.
So it's a textless adventuregame, as they called it, and the
, the producers of the game,said it's aimed for a woman
audience, so it wasn't for me.
And you then, and that's whyyou and I that's what you didn't
even know that I was talkingabout.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I knew who you were talking about, but I was like.
I was like, maybe there'sanother game.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
That's right.
I was like, let me get intothis.
What is this game?
But I could not get into it,and it is not made for me, but
for me.
For me, and I guess you as well, because you both felt the same
sentiment when it came to this.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I know, but another game that was there, hunter x
Hunter.
Okay, the new fighting gameHunter x Hunter.
Yeah, hunter x Hunter waspretty cool.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I thought that was pretty cool actually.
And then there was anotherbeat-em up there, absolutism I
think, and then that was by thesame studio that made the Ninja
Turtles Revenge game.
It was by the same studio, itwas another beat up, so that
looked okay.
I mean, I'm not running to goget that, to be honest with you,
but honestly, the only thingI'll keep it 100, the only thing
that impressed me from thisshowcase it was a very short
(22:30):
showcase.
On top of it, it was like 27minutes was pretty much Double
Dragon.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
That's the one I'm really looking forward to.
That's the one I was reallylooking forward to, to be honest
.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I keep it real.
That's really what I'm lookingfor.
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
But I did like Guilty Gear.
I'm a big Guilty Gear fan.
Oh yeah, guilty Gear has alwaysbeen dope, so they did have a
new character in the deuce andthey have a in that.
I didn't write that in the newcharacter's name, sorry people,
but that's something I'm reallyinterested in we getting into.
Okay, we have the game, so Idon't know.
(23:05):
I think me and you played it.
I played it, but I don't thinkme and you got deep into playing
it.
I've always been more of aGuilty Gear person than Mr
Amazing here.
Yeah, I played into playing it.
I've always been more of aguilty gear person than Mr
Amazing here.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, I played it, but, like you said, you were
more into it than I was than.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I am pardon me.
Yes, pardon you, mr Amazing.
All right, mr Amazing, let's goon to the next topic, mr
Amazing, okay, nintendo Switch2,.
Mr Amazing, it's a runaway hit,mr Amazing.
It's a runaway hit, mr Amazing.
Also, mr Amazing, best Buy hadit a couple of days ago in their
stores.
You had to get that, you had topounce on it right away.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I'm sure it sold out within minutes.
For those of you who track it,I guess.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, who were tracking it.
So that's been sold out.
But, mr Amazing, one of the badnews Third parties are not
getting the sales they thoughtthey would with Nintendo Switch
2.
And when you talk about thiswhen the Nintendo Switch 2 came
out, I'm thinking like if you'rea person who had a PlayStation
5 or Xbox, do we really countXbox?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Let's see what you count.
Xbox, that's kind of gaming.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Let's say, if you had a PlayStation 5 or.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
PC, pc, whatever.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
We're not really counting on Xbox One, I'm sorry,
and you have these gamesalready Cyberpunk, these other
games.
Will you really go out thereand buy a Switch and buy those
games, or are you going to?
You have those games already.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, Okay, so this is a little bit skewed.
Actually it's skewed forseveral reasons.
Is skewed.
Actually it's skewed forseveral reasons.
A a lot of people don't havethe system yet, so the cells are
not going to generate yet.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
No, no, no, Mr Maze.
No, but it's true, though, ifyou have to switch and most of
Okay According to, according toGame of Diz, okay, okay, mario
Kart was 80%, 80%, 80%.
All consoles bought.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
They bought Mario Kart, well of course that's the
number one game people are goingto want to play.
Of course, I believe that wecan say that right now, the
number one game that's going tobe for Nintendo is going to be
Mario Kart, followed by DonkeyKong, and I think Donkey Kong
might even outsell Mario Kart.
To be honest with you, Iwouldn't be surprised.
(25:31):
I think Donkey Kong is going tobe a big hit.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Actually fall back, fall back.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I do think Donkey Kong is going to put strong
numbers actually.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, Donkey Kong.
What else are you going to buy?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
That's what every system when they first come out,
the games are not there.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
No, that's a weak lineup and I told you that
before.
I don't think it's a weaklineup.
Donkey Kong and Mario are not aweak lineup.
Donkey Kong and Mario not aweak lineup.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
It's a weak lineup.
No, I don't think it's a weaklineup.
Weak.
You're talking about firstparty games or you're just
talking about games in general?
Games in general is weak.
Well, mario Kart and DonkeyKong are going to be the whole
Nintendo down.
Let's just say it wasn't a newsystem.
Donkey Kong and Mario Kart willhold you over for your
Christmas holiday sales,whatever you want to call it.
So I don't think it's awee-like, because those are
(26:16):
going to make money.
They'll outsell any othersystem to top-selling games as
well.
Those two games.
They can't hold their ownagainst any two top-selling.
Your Gears of War okay, it'llhold the sales just as strong as
them.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
But my point is that you're, I think you're, they
have gays but, like you said,there are gays a lot of people
already own on other consolesalready.
So that's, that is like, am Igoing to go buy it?
But remember, I was actuallycurious to play Street Fighter.
I was like I want to see howStreet Fighter is on the Switch
because, remember, for me when Ifirst you haven't played Street
Fighter.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
you like wasting money?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
No well, it's not wasting money.
I have history 5 on a Nintendo.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
God, I don't even know it was the last time, I'd
be curious, you wouldn't buy it.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I would, but there's a lot of other games that I
wouldn't mind buying.
The third parties.
Third party games like.
Death Stranding.
If you never played it, you getto follow the DLCs.
Why not?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
the only third-party game that has success.
Guess one, guess what, whichone?
Cyberpunk.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Oh yeah, I should have guessed that one.
That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Other ones, the developers, publishers, are
saying yo the expectations, giveit, time Give it time they're
going.
Damn, give it time, give ittime, they're going damn, we
expect they had highexpectations.
Now they got, they had to dumbit down because it didn't sell
that.
Well, give it time.
I said give it time, evenaccording to Game Biz.
Okay, according to Game Biz, itreported 62% of Switch 2
(27:50):
physical game sales in theUnited States were first party
games.
In Skooling America.
Skooling America bundles 40% inUnited Kingdom.
What is?
Oh sorry, pokemon yeah, yeah,it's 40% in United Kingdom were
first-party games.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Well, that's expected .
Most people got it because ofthe new Mario Kart.
That was a seller.
But I say, give it to ourpeople.
I think people are rushing withthese numbers, these charts,
graphs.
Give it time, let people getthe system, let more people get
it, then the numbers will go up.
It will go up.
I don't think people are likeyo, we're not going to start
making third party.
No, give it time, we'll see.
(28:32):
We'll see.
We'll see, we'll see when thebonds and other gains starts to
drop.
We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
All right, mr Amazing , let's go with our Trailer of
the Week.
Mr Amazing, our Trailer of theWeek is a classic, but I don't
know why they're bringing itback which one?
I know what you did last summer.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It looks bad.
It looks bad.
It's like okay.
It's like, yeah, this I meanI'm more a horror fan than Mr
Amazing no, but that I've seen,I've seen it.
But when I saw the trailer Iwas like, oh why.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I guess you captivate the new audience, new
generation.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I still say, okay, why?
I mean, the first one was a bigsuccess.
The first one, when they made acomeback was Scream 7.
I mean I said Scream yeah,scream 7 or 6.
What was that last one thatcame out?
So the last two, sorry, thelast two, but all right, mr
Mason, let's go to the trailerhi, thanks for coming.

Whoever's doing this, it'spersonal to them.
One of us is hiding something.
We are not going to die today.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
What are you waiting for, amazing?
I know what you did last summer, coming out July 18th.
Mr Amazing, what do you thinkof the trailer?
You know what I think, why?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I'm not gonna poo-poo on the party like you did.
I think it's alright.
It's not too bad, it's a newaudience, why not?
You do have original castmember on there.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Mr Amazing.
Yeah, why did the guy ranhimself off the road?
He did.
Why you just call the police?
Yes, this guy ran himself offthe road.
It's the same, with they havingthe same swap.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
No, no, let them breathe, michael.
Maybe there's a twist to itthat we don't know.
Get the freak out of here.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
There might be a twist that we don't know, it
might be a twist that we don'tknow.
Hollywood need more ideas.
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I'm okay with it.
It's a new generation, newpeople.
This movie came out 20, 30years ago, but they brought it
in the same format as Scream didScream 6.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Scream 6, yes, scream 6.
Yes, well, yes, we've got twoold characters.
One of them might die off.
True, you know, I don't know.
Huey died In 2006.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
So Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze is back.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yes, Sorry, spoiler alert.
We'll see what happened toBrandy.
Didn't Brandy survive?
Did Brandy survive?
One of them.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I think she did.
I think she did yo, I think shedid.
Well, we'll see.
I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I'm giving it a good light.
What did I also complain about?
They show too freaking much.
I think everybody does that now.
Something you just can't do.
That, Mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I think they do that Too much.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Too much, mr Amazing.
Too much.
Too much, mr man, too much.
I give this a yellow light.
I'll be different.
I'll give it a green.
Are you doing it different?
That's something you feel inyour heart, you want to give it
green.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I'm going to give it a green.
I think I'll give it a shot.
I mean, it's a summer movie,teenage.
I think it generate some money.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I'm hoping Drenman more than Megan.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Megan, Megan, Megan.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And I saw that coming I don't know, did I yell like
that or green light that?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I think we yelled, I think we did green light it, I
think we did.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Because I was very skeptical.
I'm like this is a sci-ficomedy thing they're doing and
it's something that came from ahorror genre.
So they came from a horrorgenre, so why are you just
switching over?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
And Bloodhouse.
I don't know what's going on,because the last movie Laid in
the Yard, yeah, which probablytwo people bought tickets for
that you know what I'm saying?
It was stupid.
I think two weeks later they'llsay I'll be nice.
Three weeks later it was onstreaming.
It felt like the final weekendit was on streaming.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Damn.
You're giving it that.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Gilly love it's garbage Straight, garbage Shoot.
If it came on, yo, let me tellyou something.
That movie came on TNT withcommercials.
I still wouldn't watch it.
Damn, if you held me down, tiedme up, I would still close my
eyes and not watch it.
Is that bad?
Yeah, it's bad.
You saw it or no?
I saw some of it.
(35:22):
It was garbage.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I didn't want to go see it.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
We did it's garbage.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
That sucks.
My daughter really liked thefirst one too so we were excited
about this.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
No, no, not that movie I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Megan.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Oh yeah, I saw Megan too, but Megan, I want to see
the goddamn Megan.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
She's excited about that.
So I'm like oh man, you cantake her to see it, she might
enjoy it, we'll wait, we'll wait.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
She might enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I'm like, I'm not going to, I'm not going to buy a
Blu we'll wait till it hits oneof the streamings we're going
Netflix.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Y'all go look at it Netflix.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Amazon Prime.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
I'm not gonna.
I'm not gonna flex and yo buy aBlu-ray or buy a digital.
Nah, son, they put like thisthey won't be able to steal a
bookcase for that game for thatmovie damn skippy, and I think

Oh wow, under 10 million.
Oh wow, that's bad Box over 10million.
So you know, part three willnot be happening.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Probably not anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Unless Chucky's involved Probably.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Not happening.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Not happening, son.
So, mr Amazing, he green-slided.
I know what he did last summer.
Yeah, I'm going to green it, Isaid.
I said y'all like I said y'allare lying.
I said hell, no, Give this ared light, don't go see this.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Don't go see this.
We're going to come back whenthe numbers are strong.
No, not yet.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Not creative.
Yo, same formula as Scream 6.
No, sorry, it's not going towork.
We'll see when the hell isBrandy.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Maybe she's surprised , we don't know.
Like you said, they can'treveal everything in a
commercial.
Maybe that's what it was, maybethat is one.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Oh, they're going to do like the horror trope.
She's going to kill the blackpeople first.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
That's why they can't show her seed that.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
That's why they can't show a seed.
That's why they can't show aseed.
That's what happened.
Y'all should have knew it.
Mr Amazing, damn it All.
Right, mr Amazing, let's go to.
Should we care to happen, mrAmazing?
Yes, sir.
Mr.
Amazing bad news for Xboxfanboys, xbox supporters, xbox
(37:38):
console buyers, microsoft isdoing what they always do Make
cuts.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, it's a big cut too, man.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Cuts after cuts, yeah .
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Mr Amazing.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I mean, Phil Spencer is a nice dude.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
He needs to get himself cut.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
He sent a memo to staff today addressing the cuts,
claiming the job losses werenecessary to allow for the
enduring success of the Xbox.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
But the Xbox is not going away, though Bullshit.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Of course, I didn't even wait.
I actually did it, mr Mason.
So, mr Mason, part of one ofthe cancellations is the game
you're looking forward to.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
I know Perfect Dark.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Perfect Dark.
Yeah, and the studio's closeddown initiative, damn.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
I was really looking for that, Raven okay.
Go to Sony y'all.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Okay, Rez Everwild announced in 2019.
It's was amazing.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Canceled.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Canceled.
Forrester Major cut 70employees were lost.
Wow, wow.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
And this is not just game studios, this is just
Microsoft across the board.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Microsoft across the board, man.
But they said Xbox was makingprofits or Microsoft in general
was making profits.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yeah, I guess not.
Not what they're looking for.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
I mean turn 10 studios.
Which was the makers of ForzaSports or developers of Forza
Sports?
Yeah, I don't know if he said70 people got laid off, but it's
the 50% of four sports.
Yeah, 70.
I don't know who said 70 peoplegot laid off, but it's the 50%
of the staff.
Wow, so.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I guess the new Xbox handheld team up with Ally is
not generating the height theywanted, man, and I guess with
the AI stuff you compete with AIalso.
It just sucks the way the techworld is set up these days, man.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
ZeniMax their Elder Scrolls Online.
The Elder Scrolls Onlinedeveloper.
Yeah, guess what Mr Mason?
Axe, not Axe the new MMO.
Most likely it's not coming out.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Damn, this is not a good look.
This is not a good look Becausewhat scares me now is that
others you're going to seeothers follow.
You're going to see other bigtechs follow.
Now I wasn't surprised you'rehearing this from Apple.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
I'm sorry, mr Maze.
Let's go to GameSpot.
They said the new MMO fromElder Scrolls online developer
Zinamax online store, reportedlycodenamed Blackboard, was said
to be cancelled.
Reportedly codenamed Blackboardwas said to be cancelled.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Mr Mason, we spoke about that too, wow.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
High Moon, the makers of Transformer video games yeah
, the good ones before theystarted sending crappy ones.
They also took cuts in thestaff, mr Mason, they were the
students that helped out makeCall of Duty.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah this is what happens with Microsoft.
For us Buying studios left andright, we knew something was
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
But Mr Mason.
Then I says, mr Mason, how thehell are you going to manage all
those studios?
Speaker 2 (40:45):
It's impossible.
And then, on top of that,you're not selling the way
you're supposed to be selling.
So it was bound to happen.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
If Sony had did this, they'd be like it's over.
I don't close the door to theMicrosoft, it's over.
Yeah, you're right, but, like Isaid after we battled out of
the Sony jug, there's too manystudios to manage and all the
funding puts the profits up.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
It's just no it is, and being able to release this
without interfering with others,it's a lot, it's a lot of
business.
Business is not as easy as wewant to believe it is you're is.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
You're awesome, Mr Maizen.
Sledgehammer Games yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Doing the cuts.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Well, Xbox gonna give it to you.
They're gonna give it to you.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
They might not be able to.
They're giving you cuts.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
That's all they're doing man, Mr Maizen, Xbox Fame
Studio.
Guess what, Mr Maizen?
What's the most famous game?
Don't tell me Halo.
Halo's doing cuts.
Mr Amazing Famous, what's theXbox's?
Speaker 2 (41:40):
most famous game.
Don't tell me Halo.
Halo's doing cuts, mr Amazing,damn, damn.
If.
Gears of War, what's it called?
Again the remade one?
I forgot what it's called.
What was it coming out?
I thought so I'll be worriedtoo for that.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
I'm getting it for PS5.
Before I wasn't getting it, butI said I was going to get it
for PS5.
Let's see an Xbox logo on thePS5.
We never thought we'd see Gearsof War on the PS5.
And Sony in general.
That is true.
But, mr Mason, yes sir, shouldwe care a lot, a little or not
at all about this, mr Amazing?
Speaker 2 (42:14):
I'm not surprised.
To be honest with you, I can'tcare a lot because I'm not
surprised and in a way Xbox hasbeen doing just in general.
But, like I said, it's not justa Xbox Microsoft thing, xbox
thing, it's a Microsoft cutthing.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
I'm also doing cuts.
Yeah, yeah, I understand doingcuts and, like I said I they're
doing great profits, but that'sthe way of the world.
That's the way of the world.
So unfortunately a lot ofpeople got laid off.
I hope they found a new placeat Sony.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Nintendo.
I know Nintendo, whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Whatever studio they go to and you know, start a new,
start their own studio.
There you go.
You know what I'm saying,because one thing in the video
game industry is lacking ofcreativity.
Yeah, that's true too,creativity.
So, mr Mazin, I don't care.
Oh, I care about the peoplelosing their jobs, but I reached
(43:07):
a point and we used to give in.
Some of our shows give hope.
This is the year Xbox is goingto do it.
I'm not stopping doing that.
You stop.
I think I gave a little more.
I'm not the Xbox, I'm not theXbox biggest fan, because I've
always been more critical ofthem than you were.
Then.
Then you became more criticaland I felt back like yo, maybe
this year Now, like I don't care.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
Do you think I care I ?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
just want to go to the third party.
Yeah what's that game?
Oh shit, that game I can'tremember.
Yeah, me too.
Stay with the K.
Stay with the K.
Stay with the.
K that shit didn't come out.
(43:52):
I thought about, oh, that mightbe a good game.
That didn't come out.
That game Contribute that cameout.
That is true too.
We were both looking for it,but we don't have to worry about
that, no more.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
I hope another studio picks it up, though, to be
honest with you, that game needsto come out, no.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
No, Microsoft owns it .
So no, we're not happy with MrAmazing.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
But what kind of Microsoft owns it?
They don't care about puttingthe games we're going to put out
on other systems.
So I can easily see someonelike, yeah, we'll buy this off
of you for Perfect Doctor tocome out Like we said it's a
third party system man.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
No, it's no chance, mr Mazin, we'll see, like the
Vince McMahon no chance.
You know what I mean.
But the theme song no chanceWe'll see, mr Mazin.
Let's go to the gangsta Wanks,to the weak.
Mr Mazin, give it to me.
I know you have one, I have one.
You go to our greatestpresident of all time.
I'm being sarcastic, mr DonaldTrump, go out, say it before he
(44:49):
cancels us.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
So, as we all know, next year, 2026, america will be
turning 250 years old and tohonor that, Mr Trump is going to
hold a UFC fight at the WhiteHouse lawn.
Ladies and gentlemen, this iscrazy.
(45:14):
I'm keeping real with you.
This is crazy Because I can't.
It's like telling me yo Biden,obama, bush, whoever you want
President Reagan is having theWWE SummerSlam at the White
House lawn, or?
Boxing man or boxing, yeah, orJoe Frazier, you know the big
fight that happened in Africa.
(45:34):
It wasn't Philippines.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
The Tour de Manila.
The Tour de Manila, yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
That was Philippines, africa.
Well, anyway, I'm partying fromnow on.
Remember?
Right now, tour de Manila onthe White House lawn.
Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, yo,that is crazy, insane, and I
don't know how people wouldeasily support this, but I
digress.
He's the president dammit, andhe has very good connection with
the white so it's gonna happen.
(46:00):
I just thought of this is thatwhat you would do at the White
House though?
The law of kids security?
I just think it was yeah, butdo you want?
Is that what you want at theWhite House, though, on the lawn
, on the lawn, kids, you knowlike.
Is it security?
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
I just think it's not a good idea.
I think it's a lot of money,that's a lot of money involved,
but like this is the White House.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
But Mr Mason, the question is, is he he's?
Gangsta.
He's gangsta, mr Mason.
I'm a gangster man.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I'm sorry.
He's sorry, but I'm thebleeping president.
I can do what the hell I want.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Yeah, but your audience is not.
Remember you're a president ofthe world and your audience is
not all this.
To be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
You know what reminds me of this?
Speaker 2 (46:40):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (46:41):
Gladiators when Roman Empire has two people.
Yes, it's so funny.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
I just was watching Gladiators with two with Denzel
Washington.
I just stopped watching.
You know my face.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
You know what I think of that movie.
You know my face.
That thing was straight upgarbage.
That was hot garbage.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
I don't think it was hot garbage.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
I disagree it was hot garbage.
I just watched it's very freshin my head right now.
It's like hot garbage you cansmell, I don't think Maximus Sun
Hano, whatever his name was.
I don't think he had the appeal.
Mr Mason, you know his nameBecause the rock said it doesn't
matter, it was garbage.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
I don't think he had the appeal, like you know.
Like you know, like it doesn'tmatter, mr.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
Mason, I don't think it was hot garbage, hot garbage.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
I think Denzel did a pretty good job.
It's hot garbage.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
but Mr Mason president is gangster for you.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Yes, I'm going gangster.
I don't think it's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
December 250th anniversary I don't think that's
the right call yo he's gangster, pull it off, go right ahead,
man he's gonna pull it off.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
Go right ahead, man.
He's going to pull it offbecause he's friends with the
USC with the companies.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
He's friends with Dana White, so they're going to
pull it off.
Do I think it's something Iwould do?
No, I think it's.
You know.
Like I said, in my view, theRome's the gladiator.
They have two gladiators.
Come on, thumbs up, thumbs down, kill him, yeah.
I was like he's going to dothat Kill him.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
You know what's so sad he is going to do that.
Remember, it's the point.
You said that because I couldsee it, but not to kill him,
obviously.
Yeah, but like you know, Icould see him doing that.
Be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
I so could see him doing that.
Mr Amazing John Jones,heavyweight champion, yes has
not defended this title foralmost a year.
Speaker 2 (48:30):
Wow, over a year you gotta resent that thing, baby.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
Mr Amazing Tom Asselwall, who is the intimate
heavyweight intern how would yousay that Intermediate,
intermediate heavyweightchampion, john Jones, instead of
fighting him, decided to retire, definitely makes the move.
They was calling him a duck.
People on Intel was calling hima duck for the past couple
(48:54):
months.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
They called him a duck because he was ducking him,
and rightfully so.
If you knew he was going toretire, you should get that
fight a while back.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
But maybe UFC was trying to hold them back.
Try to convince them not toretire.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
So, and John Jones spilled the beans.
Wow so, Mr Amazing, it is whatit is.
I give him the wankster of theweek.
Oh week, wow.
So, mr Amazing, let's go outand shout out the week.
Mr Amazing, alright, go out andshout out the week.
Mr Amazing, alright, shout outthe week.
It goes out.
A hard star, but he's not, youknow, unfortunately, red Panda
(49:32):
yeah, you all know her.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
A lot of people don't know who she is, but she's that
person in NBA 2K.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
Yeah, that's on the unicycle, she's the person on
the unicycle who bounds thedistance and stuff like that.
She's actually a real personwho does participate in the
halftime show.
Very creative, very talentedlady.
Unfortunately she hurt herselfat the commissioners game, At
the WNBA game.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Yeah, I think it was Indiana versus.
I can't remember who Indianawas, but yeah, it was at the
WNBA game.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
She fell, you hurt her wrist.
So they the was at the NBA game.
She fell, she hurt her wrist.
Speaker 2 (50:07):
So they the Fever I believe it was the Fever.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
Staff actually went with her, yeah, to the hospital,
made sure she was okay.
So she's okay.
Hopefully she'll be back.
Speaker 2 (50:13):
She'll be back performing soon.
Yeah, she's older now, so youknow.
Speaker 1 (50:17):
She'll be back for the NBA season, probably, so of
luck.
Speaker 2 (50:21):
Absolutely.
We need to see you at NBA 2K.
I want her to get paid.
I'm sure she's getting paid alot more If you have her
likeness in the game you got toget paid, she might get a
$20,000 check.
I think it's more than that.
I think it's more than that.
Speaker 1 (50:34):
Some plays are going in like $1,000.
Speaker 2 (50:37):
But she's been at 2K for a while, dude.
It's not her first rodeo in it,so who knows?
But anyway, shout out to her,man, shout out to her.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
I hope she feels better.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
All right, Mr May, anything you want to say before
we end the show.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
Oh man, we're not going to mention something on
the show.
I was waiting for this topic.
Speaker 1 (50:55):
What's mentioned, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (50:57):
Chuck E Cheese man, oh man.
So, ladies and gentlemen, forthose who have kids, nieces,
nephews, I'm sure at one pointin your life you went to a Chuck
E Cheese party.
You let the kids have fun whileyou sat down and ate that pizza
.
But guess what, guys?
You no longer have to justwatch the kids.
You'll be able to partake atChuck's Arcade, because Chuck's
(51:21):
Arcade is going.
This place is super exciting.
Yes, I am, am y'all?
Chuck's Arcade is going to be amodern day, pretty much David
Buster's for adults yeah sopretty much what it is actually,
but around onearound one exactly.
So you're gonna have adult,adult theme arcades, you're
(51:43):
gonna have liquor, beer, wine,all that good stuff, and you're
going to be able to enjoyyourself and get prizes while
you do that.
So it's pretty much a DavidBuster.
And it's funny because DavidBuster actually, I think, was
close to filing bankruptcy, orif it did file bankruptcy.
So that's why, yeah, so this iswhy the sneak up with this
coming in is like no-transcript.
Oh, that's what you're doing.
(52:04):
And Chuck E Cheese followedbankruptcy during COVID, so they
remodeled almost all theirstores.
