So we're back people.

(00:49):
didn't know.
But, Mr Amazing, in this showwe're going to talk about yo
fighting news, Mr Amazing,regarding Street Fighter 6 and
also regarding the City ofWolves.
Mr Amazing, I mean you're bigfighting game fans, Though
lately our fighting skills haveeroded because you're playing a

(01:09):
lot of Madden.
So you know what I'm saying.
But we got Spark and Zero.
Probably after a couple morehours investing in it, we'll
talk about it, but right, now.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
No, we can talk about Undisputed also Undisputed.
You know what I'm saying.
So we can talk about Undisputedalso eventually.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Undisputed.
You know what I'm saying.
So we also talk about yo it'llbe the show 25 going to Game
Pass.
We're also going to talk aboutPlayStation, ghost of Tsushima,
the new one, and Horizon ZeroDawn going to another platform.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh, I didn't know about that one actually.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Well, horizon Adventures, not Horizon Zero
Dawn, going to another platform.
You know about it, mr Maze.
Don't plead ignorance to thepeople.
But, mr Maze, let's begin theshow Talking about PlayStation
Pro.
Mr Maze, I actually went onlineto test it out, you know what
I'm saying.
Mr Maze, that got me one.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh, you were going to find one, or did you actually
purchase one pre-order one?
No, I didn't do that.
I didn't buy it.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I didn't do that.
No, no, I couldn't have.
I was like, no, I don't need itright now.
And I told you most likely likenext year, Bob, not right now,
no, not a rush to get one.
The anniversary of this, as youknow, was sold out in minutes,
minutes that I believe.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
I believe that, because that's worth it, that's
the one I would get off to get.
If I'm going to go, I'm goingto go big.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, but Mr Mason, I beat you again.
The price wars.
You said yo $1,200 or $1,100?
Yeah, remember, you said yo$1,200 or $1,100?
Yeah, and I said $1,100.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
It was $99, $100.
It was basically $1,000 for itFor the PlayStation Pro
Adversary Edition.
Yes, okay, okay.
Well, I think we both settledon that price point.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
It was a little higher.
I was at $1,100.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
All right, you won it for the dollar.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
You damn skippy.
Mr Amazing.
You know what I'm saying.
If you win by a field goal, youwin.
By a field goal, you still getthe win.
You win by a two-point, you getthe win, so it doesn't matter.
But, Mr Amazing, a lot ofpeople have a difficult time
getting this console, but it'sstill on pre-orders at Amazon,
Best Buy, also at GameStop.

(03:27):
Guess what, Mr Mazin?
Currently the PS5 Pro is theno-one son console on Amazon in
the US and other countries.
I saw that, despite Mr Mazinhaving no stand, despite having
no disk drive.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
I know, but despite all that, it's still available a
lot of places.
Actually, it is the number oneselling pre-order thing on
Amazon at the moment, but youcan find it pretty much anywhere
actually.
So it's not as popular as wethink, and we all pretty much
think it's because of the heftyprice point of $700.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
But Mr Mays is popular enough to be the number
one selling console on Amazon inthe US and other territories.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
That is true, but when you're popular popular, I'm
talking about you.
You're, I don't know the topdog of something.
I can't pre-order you.
I can still go to a Walmart ora Best Buy and get this.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
When it comes out, yeah, it's a top seller, don't
get me wrong.
It's a top seller, so thenumber's going to prove that.
Hey, it's going to put upnumbers.
Excuse me, I'm trying to say,but my thing is, it's not going
to be like that.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
That's a different time era with the pandemic.
Let me ask you a question.
Yeah, what will sell more inNovember?
Xbox Series X or the PS5 Pro?
What's going to have more sales?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
The PS5.
I think it's going to be thePS5 Pro, even despite that hefty
price point, because Xbox youknow Xbox, it needs a game to go
with it.
If you told me, I mean you gotIndiana Jones, but it doesn't
push back, so I can't even belike Indiana Jones, in November
it's going to push the sales.
I can't even say that I need agame to go with the Xbox or the

(05:20):
PS5 Pro is going to sell off thehardware.
Something is going to sell.
I thought you got the PS5Special Edition coming out with
it too.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
So that's the hardware, it's sold out, right.
You just can't walk in Walmartto get that, so that's not
happening.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, no, that is already sold out.
Yeah, I know the system.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
the controllers, everything is sold out.
The portable one is sold out,the PS portableable.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
You have a portable too.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yes, kid, wow.
And also the Portable me, andyou always diss it, but the
Portable is one of the topselling gaming peripherals, oh,
wow.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
No, I don't think it was bad when I touched it, when
I looked at it anything was toobad actually.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
You touched it.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Initially at the GameStop I went to.
Initially we thought that itwas going to be a wax system,
but then when I got up and closewith it, I was like this could
make some noise.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
As I thought yeah, so it's like I said.
I'm constantly dissing.
I think we put on a stupid shitcopy.
We both don't really care.
It's not something I like.
I said I'm not a big handheldperson so it's not for me, so,
but it's a impressive piece ofhardware.
But uh, sony will most likelygo further on.

(06:33):
This could be like a test runthis system to further on, going
for a more advanced handheldwell, I could see that, or we
might see a part 2 could be part2, but, mr Mazin, can you have
anything else to say about this?

Speaker 2 (06:52):
no, but I look forward to it and I just wish I
was able to get me a Playstation1 special edition pro.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
That would have been nice we're going to get a 4k tv
2024.
Mr Mazin has no 4K TV.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh, she embarrassed.
I'm not walking by 1080.
I'm not telling you, he's doingthe job.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, all right.
All right, Keep believing that,keep convincing yourself of
that.
But, mr Basin, just to continueon with the PS5 Pro, according
to Sean Hollister, it's beengetting pretty great reviews and
he went there in person and hehas some really interesting

(07:33):
thing to say and he stated inhis article on the Verge I bet,
if you okay, let me see what itsays oh, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah.
Okay, if you're the kind ofperson who already set your PS5
games in quality, fidelity orgraphics mode rather than

(07:54):
performance, I bet you will seea large increase in smoothness
with the PS5 Pro, no matter howfar away you are sitting.
Some went from utterly choppy todownright buttery for me on the
PS5 Pro.
So, saying, some of the gamesthat might be sloppy, choppy,
looks smooth.

(08:15):
So, while going all thetechnicalities of the additional
games, which was called F1-4,gran Turismo, final, fast
Rebirth Basically all thosegames will get PS5 Pro
enhancement.
So your games will look eitherbuttony, smooth and also the

(08:38):
frame rates will make it looklike damn.
How can I live without a PS5Pro?
Mr Amazing, so he had quite alike I ooh, woo, damn.
How can I live without a?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
PS5 Pro Mr Amazing.
So he had quite a.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
like I said, mr House had quite a few great comments
to say about it.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Okay, okay, so it's not promising.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
It's not promising, but though the sticker price is
$700, people complained about it, and even Digital finally said
it's worth what the price is.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I don't disagree with that because I mean, how much
cheaper can they make it?
I mean, even the originalsystem, go ahead, finish, oh,
okay.
No, let me say, even theoriginal system was being sued
at a lesser price than it shouldhave been announced to us.
So they were at a loss whenthey were selling it.
So you know, this system wasgoing to be a little bit of a

(09:28):
more of an uptake and I'm okaywith the $700.
Yeah, I hate to say it, Ireally hate to say it, but I'm
actually okay with it.
I think you know it's for thosewho can have it.
And then the good thing aboutit is, when you trade If I'm not
mistaken, you're getting likefrom rumors rumors I'm going to
say rumors are you get almost$300 for your current gens.
So you just pretty much comeout of pocket for $400 for those

(09:51):
with the current gens.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
That's not that bad of a deal Because, like I said,
even the Final Fantasy Rebirthis playing excellent on the PS5
Pro.
That's good man.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
So it sounds like it's going to come up and a lot
of the current-gen games aregoing to be enhanced through it.
So that's good.
That day one you can do that.
I mean, you'll notice it.
So it's definitely good.
And I'll never forget when youhad the PS4 Pro and you threw it
against the She-Man, I was likeyo, this game looks like
another world.
I still love looking at yourteam when I was playing it.

(10:24):
It makes a difference.
You know when the Spider-Mancame out on the PS Pro.
You saw how the image andgraphically beautiful it was.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
It's worth it man, I got the Spider-Man PS Pro
console.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah, I remember that that's what I was saying.
I remember watching you playthat I was like, wow, this game
is crazy.
And that was on the PS4, so Ican just imagine the PS5.
So it's worth it, man.
For those who don't have it,those who want to trade it in, I
say go for it, man, as long asyou're not going out of budget
for it.
You know, spend wisely.
I say go for it.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, I know you're not giving up your rent money.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I know.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, so, mr Amazing, let's go to fighting news.
Oh, okay, kent will arrive,guess what, in 2025.
Guess what?
What game, mr Amazing.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
I already know this one actually City of Woe.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
And who will be his tag team partner coming for
Street Fighter.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Chun-Li, so you got a combination of Chun-Li and Ken.
We sort of ride into the wallbecause we've got guys from that
series too.
Terry Bogard is in StreetFighter 6 at the moment, so
maybe, like some kind ofcontract or something, was
written that they're going to doa trade-off.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Which I have no issues with that.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
And Chung Li is coming in the winter of next
year.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Oh, okay, so she's not a day one character no, I'm
not a day one character Ken'scoming out in summer and Chung
Li is coming out that fall andwinter.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Oh okay, so about a year from now we'll see Chung Li
.
Yeah, the game comes out inMarch.
When will it come out?

Speaker 1 (12:04):
In March, I think in March we're in.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
March or April.
Okay, okay, okay, that's goingto be a hot game.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying.
So, mr Mason, what otherfighting news you could discuss
with the peoples?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Another fighting news .
I I mean it's not playablecharacter, but it's three
fighting six.
They revealed the Dark Stalkerfighting pass DLC, so pretty
much this is in line with theHalloween theme and the same
thing they did with the NinjaTurtle one.
It's gonna run through.
It's gonna be available October22nd.
You can purchase it, I think.
It's like about $5 or $250 $5yeah, so you purchase it.

(12:45):
I think it's like about $5 or$250.
$5.
Yeah, so you get like gears andstuff like that.
So those who want to keep upthe spookiness of Halloween and
have a dog stalker fightingtheme, it's all for it.
Please, don't think you can usethe dog stalker characters.
It's not that it's more of atheme, they just want to have
the Ninja Turtles on there.
So I just want to put that outthere because I don't want
people thinking, oh man, it's anew character.
No, it's not.

(13:05):
But ask my wife you guys have aweek or so left before it's
pulled off from the store.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh, shoot, so get it while you can.
Absolutely.
That's all I mean.
Anything else you want to sayabout this topic, mr Mason?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Well, I mean this was a brush over amazing.
Well, I mean, this was a brushover.
You threw that in there.
I'm not going to get it.
I'm going to see it from thehead, but I'm not going to get
this stuff.
I think it's cool, though I gotnothing against it.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Alright cool.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
What Are you getting?

Speaker 1 (13:31):
it.
No, oh, I still didn't getTerry Bogard.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Oh yeah, I got him.
I haven't played with him yet.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah, I got, gotta get Terry Bogart.
I gotta get Mortal Kombat DLCoh, okay, okay.
I think it's a little pricey.
I think it's a little pricey.
It was a $10 cheaper, but I'llsee if it's a sale on next month
looks fair so, Mr Amazing,guess what's coming to Game Pass
?
it is LNB the.

(14:00):
Show the latest game from guesswhat from PlayStation.
It's going to Game Pass.
Show the latest game from guesswhat From PlayStation.
It's going to Game Pass.
I thought we'd never seen this,Mr Amazing, A
PlayStation-produced game onGame Pass.
Mr Amazing what the is going on.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Well, Sony, you know it's about the money.
It's like yo come along, Giveus a nice little deal, We'll
have your game on our Game Pass.
It's overdue.
We see the crossovers, we seegames like.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
God of.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
War on Xbox.
Now you see Days Gone.
What were you saying?

Speaker 1 (14:36):
God of War.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Not God of War.
My bad, I meant to say DaysGone.
No, god of War was on PC.
Excuse me, my bad.
I'm going to say Dave Garn.
Well, no, garn was on PC.
Excuse me, my bad, that was onPC.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
I got confused.
The only reason that we callMLB show is on different
platforms because basicallybaseball said so.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Oh, okay, that's why, well, you need the licensing.
So if MLB says this is what wewant, guess what?
This is what.
That's what they're going toget.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, so that's why.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
That's also.
This is for licensing purposes.
That's that's what we want.
If it was for that, I don't seewhat I'm, I don't know what I'm
saying.
If it was for that, they MLBshow game was on PlayStation
Network, so that's where I gotmine at.
Okay, you guys are sweet.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Don't be a hater, I'm not a hater.
Is your guy still hitting 100home runs but can't make the
majors?
Yo, I was mad as hell.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
I made 80 home runs.
I was still in the minorleagues in that game.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
I was so mad last year I was like what the fuck?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Shoot, I ain't buying this one this year.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
I feel you.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
So, mr Mays, anything else you wanted to say about
this?
No, that's all Alright, dan,let's go to the next topic.
Next topic, mr Mays.
Let's discuss the latest entryin the Ghost of Tsushima Saga
versus a new title, a newcharacter, mr Mazin, dive into
it.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, so at the state of play in September, saga
Punch announced theiranticipated game.
The final Ghost of Tsushima isgoing to be Ghost of Yoti, which
is releasing in 2025.
But looks like this game takesplace in 1603, which is roughly

(16:32):
about 300 years, I think, whenGhost of Tsushima took place,
and it looks like the maincharacter is going to be a
female.
From what we know, it is afemale.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
It's going to be a female.
It's a female, it's going to bea female.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Sometimes now, these games are like a creep.
It's a female.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's a female.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I don't know if it's what they did.
A lot hasn't been revealed yetbut from what we see, it's a
female.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's a female, mr Amazing.
They don't say it's a female.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
They're not going to change it.
It's a female Mr.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Amazing they don't say it's a female.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
They're not going to change it.
It's a female.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
They didn't do it in the previous game.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
No, did they do it in the previous game?
I don't think they did.
No, they didn't, mr Amazing.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
It's a female character.
It's not rising and rolling.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
That's what I'm getting confused with.
If you're going to rise androll, no.
They just want me to getconfused with, but the graphic,
beautiful Southern Punch alwaysknows how to do man Like the way
the wind is blowing in that,the grass and everything.
It's graphical, it's amazing.
But there wasn't much gameplayto go by though, so we'll have

(17:38):
to wait sometime next year,early next year, to see more
about this game, but I was superhyped.
Finally, because it's beenabout four years since the
release of the Guns of Shima, soit's been a follow-up.
It should be about five years,most likely, when it releases.
It's new to the air.
What about you, michael?
Are you excited about this game?

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, I'm pumped up about the game, but the only
thing that really concerns me isthe female character, and you
know how people are now thesedays.
They get offended that a femalecharacter is in the game who
doesn't look like a stripper oh,that's true too.
People always got something tosay why are they changing their
character from a male characterto now a female character 300

(18:21):
years later?
Shoot, for all we know thatcould be one of their ancestors.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
We don't know, could be go ahead it could be one of
Jin's.
Like people don't get it, goahead.
No, it could be one of Jin'sdescendants.
We don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
No, and it's like come on, stop it.
People like to put aside gamesfor no apparent reason and not
necessary.
And same thing with Assassin'sCreed, the Undelayed.
Why are this black samurai?
Because it's not authentic.
This is freaking Assassin ofCreed, where you go to a damn
time machine.
Stop the nonsense.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
I do it too, but it's a video game it ain't supposed
to all be real no, it don't stopit.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
It doesn't have to be authentic, it's part fantasy it
has some reality to it.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Stop it if you're doing like a war game or you
know.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
It was a documentary.
Yes, we're doing a documentary.
It's something different.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, it was a video game.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Exactly Stop it with the nonsense.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Let the imagination run loose.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, so, mr Maze, anything else you want to say
about this?
So this is a must buy for you.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Oh heck.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, it's day one you know what I'm saying, why
you don't agree?
Yeah, I totally agree.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Oh, okay, all right, cool, so we shall see 2025,.
Everything can't be here.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Oh yeah, don't rush time, baby, don't rush time.
Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Well, you know, since 2025, it's been so, you know,
so far in between, is GrandTheft Auto still coming out in
2025, or is it 2026?
I can't remember anymore.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Post the alleged 2025 .

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Oh, okay.
Well, 2025 is a good year.
Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
And also another game that you want to talk about.
The Horizon Lego game, which isHorizon Venture, will be
released on November 11th ofthis year for PS5, ps Switch and
PC, and also Epic Game.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Store it's cute.
I mean it's not for me, I'm notinto Lego games, but it's.
It's cute, it's gonna.
It's gonna sell.
Put it that way, it's gonnasell.
I don't know.
You think it's cute.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
It's going to sell.
Put it that way it's going tosell.
I don't know if it's going tosell, I just want to see the
sales on the Switch.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Of course it's Lego.
I want to see the sales on theSwitch.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
That's why I want to see the sales on the Switch.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
It's Lego.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
The Lego game is hot.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, I agree with that, but it's Horizon and
that's a very popular title.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
And it's legal.
Do you think Horizon is notmore popular than Drake?

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I think it's there, I think it's there.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
I don't think so.
I think you need to get aheadof Zayn.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Go by the numbers.
If you go by the numbers, I betyou Horizon got more sales.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
I can't.
We don't have the sales.
That was ahead of us.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, and we can come back with it.
We can come back with it on thenext episode, but you can't
compare it because there wereone.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
There was four games Exactly For Drake, so you can't
compare the buying sales.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yeah, but Horizon if you count the VR and all that
other stuff and the thing.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
That's about four games too.
That's a game party that sellsover a million copies.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
I agree because not that many people have a VR unit,
so I agree.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, I mean it still has the cell numbers, but I
think Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
No, I was going to say, I think if you put the best
numbers of the top-selling,whatever Drake collection the
top whatever Drake, you knowDrake's name collection the top
selling game versus Horizon.
Horizon blows it out, blows itout.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
I will have that number for you, I don't think so
.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
I don't think so.
And also they're supposed tohave an online game, live
service game.
I think they're doing thisfranchise a disservice.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
They're doing this franchise a disservice they're
stretching out?
No, no, you know how they do it.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Michael, get that money.
They're stretching out.
No VR game, lego game now liveservice game.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
They're stretching it out too much.
No, that's the nature of thebusiness.
Man, Get that money.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, that's how you bury a franchise.
We see what happened to TombRaider years ago and even we
wear.
Halo now yeah, our kids wearMaster Chief like they used to
they don't, they don't and alsothe TV show got cancelled damn.

(22:53):
You know what I'm sayinghopefully the Halo will make a
comeback.
It's been around for years, Ihope so, anyways, let's go back
to the topic.
It's coming out November 11th.
Will I be getting it?
No, I don't like the Lego gamesso I'm not getting it.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
I'm not a big Lego person too.
I think the last thing thatwould get my fit was when you
had that Batman one-eating withTyler.
Yeah, I have to play.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
What the freaking garbage is this?

Speaker 2 (23:18):
I thought that game was hard.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
but that was just me, I thought the game was just
stupidness, just to go cutacross.
I got to make a, make it a.
I couldn't take that game.
I'm sorry, I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
I couldn't take that.
Game Well, game, well, we'llsee.
Man, I anticipate it.
There's a game that I'manticipating that still hasn't
come out yet, but that's just me.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about PlayStation
All-Stars.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Part 2.
Well, that's what you'reanticipating.
I'm anticipating the two.
What's it called?
Oh my God, the two of us aregetting to work together.
What's it called again, take 2?
What's it called again, taketwo?
Was it called again?
We're going to make another one.
Yeah, a follow-up to it.
I think that needs to be made apart two.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I anticipated the guy didn't announce it.
They ain't going to make a parttwo.
I hope so.
He's probably making a gamewith the same mechanics, but
he's not going to make a parttwo to the game.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
You're right.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
You're right, alright , mr Amazing let's go to our
trailer of the week.
It's Cross, mr Amazing.
It's on Prime.
Yes, cross, the character thatTyler Perry played, the
detective cop did Mr Mason dothat?

Speaker 2 (24:34):
yes, it's on Prime.
I won't be watching it.
I saw the trailer.
Oh yeah, what did you miss therest of that?
Yes, it's on prime.
Oh guess I won't be watching ityo, I saw the trailer.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
It seems to be good oh, well, alright so let's check
out the trailer.
1, 2, 3.
Let's do it.
Alright, I don't kill for fun.

(25:01):
You're going to be part of amasterpiece and when I'm done,
the world will know.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
The truth.
What do you do, alex?
I'm a detective.
You mean, you're a cop?
Metro pd, we join the forcetogether.
Oh, I got it, you the doctor,phd psychology.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Let's see how long you last, but you can call me
detective alex cross they foundhim dead in his car apparent
overdose.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
I didn't make it true suicide.
They got killed to cover upwhat happened.
I think he was murdered.
Whoever killed him had tochange him into someone else
first.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
This girl's messing.
All two poor victims areconnected to this.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
And you know this happened.
It's doing its thing.
This is where it all started.
Have you always been this good?
You're not in my head.
Oh well, I'm definitely livingrent-free.
Eh, you know, you got kids, aboy and a girl.
You raised a good man.
It's just been so much.

(26:31):
I lost my wife a little over ayear ago.
Alex, I want to be here for you.
You're not managed very well.
It gets weirder.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
He's not gonna stop unless I make him stop.
It was in my house.
He's never gonna give up.
I'm gonna call him, I'm gonnacall him.
I'm gonna call him, I'm gonnacall him.

(27:21):
You think you can stop him?
I know I can.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Because I know him better than he knows himself.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
So, mr Amazing Cross, mr Amazing, what do you think
of that trailer?
Break it down, tell the people.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, no, I mean, it's based on a Tyler Perry
movie, right, If I'm notmistaken.
What is?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
it based on a book.
On the book, I should say thatpart of me Was it a book at
first and Tyler Perry adapted tothe movie.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
That's my understanding.
Yes, that's exactly the samething that I had.
You know you're a detective,you know you go from there
pretty much.
I mean basically, I mean Goahead.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
I saw the movie.
The movie was garbage, but thislooks more compelling.
What movie was?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
that?
Huh, I was going to ask youthat it was in the movie, but it
was garbage.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
It was not garbage, but this looks more intriguing.
Plus, it's a TV series, soyou're able to, let's just say,
explain the plot, explain whythe character's doing this.
You get more details of thestory and of his character.
So, more than you get in a,let's say, hour 20-minute movie.
So a little more depth, so Ithink it looks interesting.

(28:37):
Most definitely, you knowsaying as we say at the end of
the review of a trailer mramazing, do you green light it,
yellow light it or red lightthis trailer?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
I'm gonna go green.
Actually, I like what I saw sofar I'm gonna rely too.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Definitely interesting.
I wanted.
I wanted to go see it.
But some of the things wereviewed we get green lights
this year, some of themembalming please, please, name
one damn it did we give a greenlight to Joker?

Speaker 2 (29:08):
I don't know.
I don't remember giving a greenlight to Joker.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
I don't think we reviewed the trailer for Joker.
I had no interest.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
We did, we did, we did.
I remember us doing that yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
I didn't care for it, did I?

Speaker 2 (29:22):
say I liked it.
I don't remember saying I likedit.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
I just didn't care for it.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Like I said, I didn't like the first one.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
I didn't like the theater.
I wanted to get a theater, butthe girl's wit was like she
wanted to watch the rest.
I was like, oh Jesus, pleasehelp me, please help me.
The first one I saw Lack ofinterest in seeing that, but
also Transformers.
That was a big surprise.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
We liked that one.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
But it didn't do as well as we thought it would do
and I don't know because theTransformer brand has been
destroyed by Michael Bay moviesand the recent Beast War movie
was hot garbage that I actuallyfreaking pulled.
I didn't even go to the movietheater to go see it.
I actually pressed the buttonfor $24 to get that downloaded
the movie.

(30:14):
I'm never going to watch againfor $24 to get that downloaded
the movie.
I'm never going to watch again.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
I'm trying to upset myself.
No, but let's say theTransformers movie.
The sales are not there, butit's a very good movie from what
I understand.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, the views are good, but the sales weren't
there.
It's had made over, I think, 58.
Globally, no, 58, what do youcall?
Not to US?
It made over 50,000, over 50million, sorry.
And worldwide, what is it?

(30:49):
Internationally made 58?
Okay, that's not shabby.
58 million, so over hundredmillion.
It made so 75 million.
So I doubt that it hit the one30, 130 million mark.
Probably four weeks It'll be onthe digital platform.

(31:12):
Okay, I want to go see with theway I want to go see with me, so
I never got a chance to go seeit in the movie theaters and the
way the movie company isdistributed.
Now, after what 45 days, theyput it on digital.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
They want to get that other money.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
I think I watched the Quiet Place.
I watched it on Prime.
Oh, I hope I didn't pay moneyfor that.
The Quiet Place I watched it onPrime.
Oh, I hope I didn't pay moneyfor that last one.
It was not a bad movie, but Ihope I didn't pay for it.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Hope not, hope not Get your prime work, man.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Shoot Check my bill.
Oh shit, shoot Pay my bill.
Yeah, shoot, nice.
But, mr Mason, so I guess yougreen light as well.
We both green light in the showand we'll see Hello.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, I'm here, you hear me now.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Yeah, I heard you.
You didn't say anything, MrMason, Sorry man, I had a.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
No, sorry man, I had a little technical difficulties
there just now Technicaldifficulties, yeah, man.
I don't know it went in and out.
Sorry guys, usually we're inthe studio together, but you
know?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, we're in the studio right now, so we're
having technical difficulties atthe studio.
Well, Mr well, mr Amazing,let's go to our next topic.
It's our Shibukia topic.
Mr Amazing and Mr Amazing, ourShibukia topic of the week is
the following Mr Amazing, maybeyou can break it down to people

(32:48):
Nintendo finally gave the peoplewhat they want a new hardware
ooh, I actually like this yes,mr Amazing, it's not the
Nintendo Switch 2.
It is what Mr Mason.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
It is.
Nintendo's new hardware is onlower class and when you sent me
this I was like what is thiscrap that he's sending me?
But then I watched the video.
I was like yo, this is kind ofdope.
So it's a new on lower class.
But it's not just typical alarmclock.
When it makes it into a typicalalarm clock, it's number one.

(33:20):
Break it down?
Mr Mason, Absolutely.
You get to choose from fivedifferent Nintendo characters.
You can have Super Mario,Odyssey, Pikmin number four,
Splatoon 3, Ring Fit Adventuresor Legend of Zelda, Breath of
the Wildfire.
So you have those five optionsto pick for your long flight.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Okay, mr Mason.
Last question Mm-hmm, yes, doyou think Donkey Kong should be
included in that list?

Speaker 2 (33:46):
He, absolutely should have been included.
That would have been a greatone actually.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
I would have picked a Ring Fit.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Adventure yeah, I would have picked a Ring Fit
Adventure and put Donkey Kong inthe opposite.
So you get to pick from thosefive and the alarm clock comes
with sounds and music from thegame and later on, a wife.
By network you can downloadevery dsc so you can download
and include in there.
So that makes it pretty cool.
But what makes this alarm clockunique from any other alarm

(34:10):
clock that you used used to?
It has a built-in motion sensorto track your sleep, which is
very dope.
It reacts to body movement,with sound, for example.
So let's say you're in your bedand all of a sudden it goes off
.
You don't get up, it keepsringing and ringing.
It gets a very annoying pitchto wake you up and it's going to

(34:34):
stop ringing when you get upbecause it can control your
motion.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
It makes you get up and actually get up and stop the
alarm clock.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yep, exactly.
And then the alarm clock.
Let's see.
Like I mentioned, you canupdate through the internet
connection and it records yoursleep history.
So if you're going to sleep,that's all going to be recorded
so you know how much sleep youhad, and so on.
So this was amazing to me andthe price to me is fair.

(35:07):
It has a lot of features, it'sselling for a reasonable price,
in my opinion, of $99.99.
And at first I was going tocount this thing until I saw the
video and I read about itselling for a reasonable price,
in my opinion, of $99.99.
And at first I was going tocount this thing until I saw the
video and I read about it, andnow I actually want one.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
I'm not going to lie to you.
I want a Legend of Zelda one.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
So, Mike, what about you, man?
What's your take on it?
Do you want one?
You don't care for it.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
She's not going to give my wings for my bet.
You better give me that one.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Damn it.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
We're the best.
Away from my wings.
I want my wings.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Mr Amazing, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
I'll skip the Hooters .
Give me the Buffalo Wild WingsDamn it.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Oh, I forgot to mention something too, so I just
said $9.99.
But you can only get this intwo places.
You can get it online in theNintendo Store, or you can get
it in person only at the NewYork Nintendo Store.
And, of course and guess wherewe live people?
New York City.
Yeah, I was actually thinkingabout going there.
If you're going up, man, I'mgoing to buy one.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
I'm going to buy one.
It's going to be annoying.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah, I'm going to get one.
Do it's going to be annoying?
Yeah, I'm going to get one.
Do you know which character youwant, though?
Huh, do you know whichcharacter you're going to get
when you get yours?
Oh, kratos.
Ah, you went to Kratos.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
I'll probably get the Mario brother.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Okay, you know me, I'm a Zelda character, so I'm
going to get the link.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Okay, Dispect Donkey Kong.
You know what?

Speaker 2 (36:34):
I'm saying Could it disrespect Donkey Kong?

Speaker 1 (36:35):
You know what I'm saying, donkey Kong should have
been on there, donkey Kong,you'd expect you put Splatoon's
been around for what?
10 years?

Speaker 2 (36:42):
baby.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, you could put out Rick's adventure.
What else is there?
The pink characters on there.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Pikmin.
Yeah, Pikmin's on thereSplatoon and Rick's on there
Pikmin.
I know.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Come on man.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Pikmin, pikmin.
Yeah, pikmin has been a namefor a stuff we can read for the
adventure.
I'm like come on reallyabsolutely not absolutely not
I'm outraged by that.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
I'm with you on that alright, mr Amazing, let's go to
our Gangster and Wankster ofthe Week, mr Amazing ooh, okay.
Gangster and Wankster of theWeek as well.
Mr Amazing myself, mr Amazing.
That happened two weeks ago.
I think it was one of the fewgames.
Mr Amazing was with my ass andmadden guess what happened?

Speaker 2 (37:34):
we couldn't get online cause what ah, the Sony
servers went down.
They were down for a few hours,man, several hours, several
hours, yeah, man.
So unfortunately for games likemultiplayer, games that need to
update and so on, you were notable to play it because the play

(37:57):
PlayStation was down.
So we wanted to play Madden.
We couldn't play.
There was other games wecouldn't play.
I forgot what they were, butAny multiplayer game you
couldn't play.
Anyway, I played multiplayergames.
There were a lot of digitalgames you couldn't play.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
So, basically, you were screwed, and this is why
it's good to have physical media.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yep yep, you know I'm a sucker for that and I think
you and I got tied into that now, because now he's buying hard
disk games.
When you're on digital he'sactually buying hard disk games.
Now he's like I like hard disknow.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Yeah, I think the thing with people.
It's good if you got guys likekids.
Take your kids to a retro gameconvention.
Let them know the game history.
I'm not saying everybody shouldbuy 50,000 games, you know what
I'm saying.
But if you have like acollection of your favorite
system, whatever 20 games, 30games, your favorite games, it's

(38:49):
great to have them.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, I agree with that, that's very true.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Actually, with the Capcom what do you call it?
Capcom Fighting Series 2.
I'm going to buy thatphysically, because it's all
digitally, but I'll buy itphysically.
I'll get it for the Xbox andI'll get it for the PlayStation.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
I agree with you on that.
Actually, I'm going to buyphysical copies and remember
when the next one come out nextyear.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
they're going to have Power Stone and other games
that I couldn't really get, orif I was to purchase that game
separately, it will cost you 200bucks a piece for the next
iteration of the Capcom Fridaygame collection.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
So yeah, remember the one with Power Stone 1 and 2?

Speaker 1 (39:32):
A couple other games that came up off the top of my
head that people really wantedto play but couldn't play or had
to pay a high amount for thatgame.
So definitely you know what I'msaying.
But, mr Amazing, yes, sir,what's Sony get?
Sony's the Wankster of the WeekOf the Week.
I agree, yeah, mr Amazing,we're going to end the show with

(39:54):
the shout out of the week.
Mr Amazing, can you tell thepeople who it is or who she is?
I don't know.
Man, put me on, I'll put you on.
Mr Amazing, a surgeon inSwitzerland completed surgery
losing.
Mr Amazing, a video gamecontroller.
Can you guess which one?

(40:15):
Mr Amazing, a video gamecontroller.
Can you guess which one, mrAmazing?

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I'm going to guess either a Wii, because they're
loose, or a PlayStation Move,because they're loose as well,
am I right?

Speaker 1 (40:27):
Yeah, yes, you're right, mr Amazing.
Which one?
It was?
A PlayStation Move, mr Amazing.
Oh nice, you know what I'msaying.
Yes, playstation Move, mrAmazing.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
Oh nice, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yes, according to reports, he done this procedure,
which is an endoscopy procedure, not a human being, though it
was on a pig, mr Amazing, oh apig really.
Yeah, the pig was located inHong Kong, which is over 5,000
miles away for the surgeon to doit.
He did an excellent job.
The pig came out successful.

(40:57):
No lag, Mr Mason.
No lag.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Wait, wait, wait, hold on.
So he's in Switzerland.
The pig was in Hong Kong, yes.
So how did he perform the move?
I don't get it.
Was it robotic?

Speaker 1 (41:09):
No, Mr Mason.
Okay, the surgery was performedutilizing a robotic surgical
system that can be controlledremotely, which was connected
directly to WebSock protocol forreal-time data transfer.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Oh, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
I guess that's kind of cool, because yeah, go ahead.
The surgeon did everythingwhile watching a video feed,
losing the PlayStation Move tocontrol the Roblox action while
maintaining no latency, mr Majin.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Wow, that's impressive.
That's pretty cool.
I mean, like you can look at itthis way where your doctor is
not around or whatever it is, Imean I'm not ready to say this
because there's no humans yet,but like where a major surgeon
or there's a lack of surgeon, orwhen war or you know,
unfortunately war.
But like you know, thistechnology can help people in

(42:06):
other countries where there'slack of doctors and stuff.
They can do procedures, youknow, from anywhere.
So this is a technology I thinkwe'll keep our eye open on
because this can actually reachout to people across the country
.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
I mean most of the most important thing, it was
using a PlayStation Move Control, which is very surprising.
I believe I read an articlewhere somebody was either a
DualSense or Xbox controllerfrom some type of surgery, but I
don't remember the arc on topof my head.
But, mr Mason, that's the shoutout of the week.

(42:40):
But, mr Mason, any other shoutouts you want to give out?
No, that's it, man.
How about the New York Mets?
Man Yo, give them a shout out.
They tried their best.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
No, you know what?
They came up short, Mr Mets.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
They came up short.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
They came on short, but I don't look at it like that
, because we weren't evensupposed to be there, man, and
we made it there.
They gave us a great year, youknow, had us all hyped to the
OMG.
We had our own theme song andyou don't put all those guys
there, man.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Almost went to the New York Met, almost went to the
World Series.
But yo shout out to the NewYork Yankees to go to the World
Series versus the Dodgers son,let them finish it, let them
finish it.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
But another shout-out , this one we both got to agree
on.
It's a shout-out to the NewYork Liberty man.
Oh yeah, they won the big danceman.
After 28 years, one of thefirst teams in the league, they
finally broke that curse andthey won it.
Man and ladies and gentlemen,guess what?
I'll be there because it'sright in front of my job.
I will be at the parade.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
This is why Game of Traffic can't get stuff done.
