(00:02):
Welcome to o r MTS one fortyfour. We have Alex Carew on this
week. I went and saw himwith Matt Rife down at Radio City Music
Hall. One of the funniest comediansI've seen in a really long fucking time,
probably since like Dane Cook level era. It was it was really interesting
to kind of see people that Iactually enjoyed. So thank you, brother
for coming on. It's been abit since we had this planned on and

(00:24):
off. But Burlas is also joiningus this week. He's sick as a
dog from some demented turkey chili thathe fucked up. So yeah, I'm
just gonna be the disembodied voice.Have fun. There we go, all
right, he's actually I can feelhim in the room with me. I
can Yeah. I don't think youwant to feel him in the room.
It'd be a little furry. So, brother, how is this world tour?

(00:48):
Because we were just sitting here talkingand you're like, oh, it's
nine o'clock on the East Coast.I'm just sitting here. No, the
bell just rang at the firehouse.It's noon. Fucking hell man, nine
o'clock. How the hell has been? As obviously you've gone through crazy time
for the last little bit now.Yeah, so it's been different. I
guess, like you know, it'shmmm, Uh, it's been great.

(01:11):
If you just ask me how it'sbeen, it's been great. Uh.
The travel can get to you somedays. Like I said, so last
night yesterday, got into La fromVegas. From Vegas, we were in
you know the the We're in theEast coast to Vegas to hear now and
now I'm here. It's really kindof NonStop. Like you know, traveling
is one of the cool parts aboutdoing comedy, doing this job, but

(01:34):
ultimately you kind of really are justtraveling and then traveling. Right now,
there's not a lot of time.But when when we have multiple like shows
in a city, that's always funbecause then you can least up in the
morning. Yeah, exactly, likeI've had some cities, like we were
in cans we were in Calgary.People are like, how'd you like Calgary.
I was like, I'm not kiddingyou. We pulled up in the

(01:57):
bus, got out of the bus, walked into the event, you did
sound check, eight, did twoshows, got on the bus, and
left. So sure, I wevisited Gagery. Yeah, we visited Calgary,
but we weren't there for more thaneight hours, and I didn't even
see the streets. So it's it'sone of those things where that's a lot
of towns and unfortunately sometimes it's reallycool towns, and so that's the only

(02:23):
part about it where you it's it'sone of these things where it's hard to
really explain to like people who don'tI guess do it as you go.
It's not people think it's just thislike rock Star tour, We're just doing
drugs off strippers, and it's justnot it is. Well a lot of
you really is that for them either, Like unless they're bringing girls with them

(02:43):
everywhere, they're kind of just doingthe same exact thing. They're stopping doing
a show for three four hours andthen they're a hell out of there.
Why the hell would you stay thereafter you're done playing like what more tomorrow?
Because you know, you're a humanyou want to sit down and be
one one spot for a little bit. Uh yeah. Because it's also sometimes

(03:04):
the towns are fun. Sometimes youstop in a place that you don't think
is gonna be great, like GrandRapids, Michigan. I got out,
walked around for like an hour anda half, to grab a coffee,
be for sure's there and it's acute, quaint little town and you're like,
this would be a fun place tomaybe get dinner or go grab a
beer, and you know, seewhat's going on. So it's little things
like that that make you go likeit's it's that's the that's the toughest part

(03:24):
for me. Sometimes it just it'sjust yeah, yeah. And with your
style of comedy, by far oneof the most entertaining things I've seen in
a bit, because of how onedge you and Matt play off each other
where you're like, I think thefirst joke you threw in New York City,
of all places, was a Trumpjoke, And I'm like, holy
shit, if you're throwing a Trumpjoke everywhere first just to dismiss everybody,

(03:47):
I would be I'd be absolutely confused. Oh he's got the tech, yeah
yeah, giving us the thumbs up. This crap. I didn't much you
want. I thought I was deliberate. I forget that. These go yeah

(04:08):
yeah, peace and they do uhlike this when you yeah, it does
like fireworks behind you. It's awhole bunch of shit. I got I
love iPhone. Oh my god,Wow, I didn't think the bubbles would
be I mean, peace would beOkay, this is we're getting off track
here. Entertainment though, that's juststraight banster exactly. Yeah, uh ship

(04:30):
man, Uh the Trump joke.Really, there was just a lot of
times people I'm just stand up,especially too, but a lot of times
when a lot of people do standup, it's kind of just it's kind
of this thing that is flowing fromlike the moment. And so I went
up, but I you know,you get a vibe of the audience and
that kind of thing, and uh, what I'm based on what I want
to talk about in that set andbased on how the energy you know,

(04:54):
the crowd was giving me that night. Sometimes you just go here's something you
just you just kind of shoot somethingout there to see what sticks, to
see what they're kind of into,because you want to Ultimately, it is
not about what they want to hear. It's about what you want to say
and how getting them to this pointwhere they understand who you are and what

(05:14):
you're talking about, to where theycan kind of laugh and be in that
with you. So a lot ofthat is just me trying to figure out
how far they're going to let mego. Is it hard to try and
cater that two different localities and ideologiesand stuff like that. Like some places
like say Upstate New York or theDeep South, you'll get away with that
and you'll probably get one hundred percentof people laughing. But you go someplace

(05:36):
like LA, you're not going toget as many laughs. So do you
cater to the audience in that aspectand just change what you plan on saying?
Or do you kind of just saywhatever the hell you want and they
accept you where they don't? Sosometimes no, what I will cater,
I guess I don't like to usethat word. But what I will do
is I will go silly or I'llgo So sometimes you can just tell out

(06:00):
They're like, just just be funny. We just want to be funny,
we want to be silly. Sosometimes you can feel that and you go,
all right, We'll just going tobe silly tonight. But I never
I'm the dights when I feel theworst after I get off stage, like
last night it happened. So lastnight I had a show at the Comedy
Store here, and it's the ComedyStore. It is the mecca of comedy.
You know, there's three places inthis in this in this country that

(06:23):
are like meccas of stand up andthe Comedy Store is one of them,
and it's where it's things started.It's where you know everybody's going to be
there. Netflix is a joke,you know, the fact the comedy festivals
happen right now, so we're everyyou know, you know who's could be
in that audience. But I goup and a part of me goes,
just go up there and do thehits, do that ten minute and murder,

(06:44):
and then the other part of me, the comic part of me,
is saying, you have new materialto work on. This is the only
time you'll get to work on it. Don't be a pussy. And so
I went up and I kind ofmixed it around. I started with a
little something new. Then I youknow, I would get a joke to
get a laugh, and then itwas kind of funny. I did a
joke that I know would get alaugh and it didn't work, and so

(07:04):
my brain went, see, soyou pussy do the new material. And
so I just kind of stuck withthe new material and had fun. It
did a fine set. It wasfun, and then I got off stage
and I was fine. You know, people are like a great set,
and I'm like, all right,hold on, I wasn't a great set.
It was a fine set. Andso that's the kind of thing is

(07:26):
when it comes to like just beingon stage, especially like what I want
to tell people ten Like I onlydo twelve ten to twelve to fifteen minutes
in front of Matt some nights,so it's very hard to kind of convey
anything really with only ten minutes.Fifteen minutes, you can kind of get
into it, but ten minutes it'sreally hard to convey. So every night
I'm not like choosing what I'm goingto say. I'm just saying, we're

(07:47):
going to see where they'll let mego and how far I can get.
And then that's kind of that's kindof where I where I stopped with that.
And if I go up and Ican tell pretty quick that they're like,
hey, we're just trying to havea night out. We just joke.
Can we just laugh? Then I'llgo okay, and then I'll talk
about, you know, fucking nextto my dog or whatever. No exactly.

(08:07):
Yeah, that's what's so interesting.I looked at my girlfriend and I
was like, yeah, you know, I don't necessarily know exactly where I'm
going to go, but this iswhere I'm supposed to be. Coming back
from the comedy show, I waslike, I feel fucking excited. I
feel like something is right here,something's available to be affected. And I'm

(08:28):
like, I know, I can'tdo stand up comedian level shit where I'm
sitting there talking to people without havingsome sort of dialogue, unless it's like
what Matt does, where I'm sittingthere joking back and forth and making fun
of the people and having fun.I couldn't do, you know, full
on our long storytelling, I'm gonnado jokes like Dane Cook does. I
couldn't do that. But banter backand forth and just being a shithead online

(08:50):
that's my jam. And you knowwhat, in the grand scheme of things,
I know it's going to take off, and I know it's going to
do something. Those stories are goingto hit somewhere online is probably better anyway.
Saying I don't know where I'm going, but I know where I'm supposed
to be is really I'm gonna stealthat that Actually, that was a very
good one. That was a goodThat was a good line. Man.
Wow, I don't know where I'mgoing, but I know where I'm supposed

(09:13):
to be. It's weird because youget that like feel of just, ah,
I'm supposed to be here. Idon't know what the fuck is going
to happen. I don't know whereit's going to happen, but I'm supposed
to be in this. I'm supposedto be talking in front of people.
I'm supposed to be talking with themicrophone. I'm supposed to be talking to
cool people and having some fun anddoing fucking stupid ass dick jokes and being
a retard online. But in thegrand scheme of things, this is too

(09:35):
fun to give up. This istoo fun, Like this is my place,
and I know it's my place.It's weird. Yeah, it's interesting
to I guess just kind of bringit back to make it about myself.
I just thought it was weird becausethat's the show I was coming home from.
It is like it was your guysshow. I watched you sit there

(09:56):
and throw Trump jokes in New YorkCity and get almost a standing ovation at
that point, like shit, youknow, it's not everybody's against everybody anymore.
And it seemed like for a whileit was everybody wanted to squish the
people that were finally starting to talk, and now they got well. Yeah,
I think it's also because I'm stillvery much figuring it out too.

(10:18):
I'm still very much understanding where myplace. I say my place, where
my h what it is that I'mgoing to get away with? And I
hate to say it like that,but I just mean I am. I
figured out pretty quick that my favoritecomics were all kind of doing what they
wanted to do on stage. Theywere not very much going up there and

(10:39):
just telling jokes. And and theyweren't just going up there and and this
is a tough thing because it's acomic, and the idea is to be
funny, right, It's you're supposedto go up there and tell jokes,
but at the same time you canuse as an outlet to really say some
things. And I just that's theidea I've always had about stand Up was
that it was always just uh tolike, if I'm going up here just

(11:01):
to tell jokes and just write jokesfor people. If all you want to
do is be funny, then justwrite and funny shit don't But stand Up
feels like a very good output justto kind of help inspire and touch,
yeah, and to inspire other peopleto just think a different way and help.
Like laughter and joking around about stuffis what made everything easier for me

(11:22):
when I was a kid. Itwasn't like a way to hide. It
was a way to understand things.And if I could joke about it,
I could kind of like it madeit easier for me to think about it
and process it. So I thinkthat's where I'm trying to get to.
It's just that same place for forother people and for Yeah, that's I
say that it's It's the thing I'mdrawn to the most. It's the thing
I continue to wake up and thinkabout. It's the thing that's you know,

(11:46):
it's just constantly there. It's constantlythere telling me like, this is
this a thing? It seems likethe people that that make it the biggest
or grow or do anything, whetherit's just video creation, whether it's comedy,
whether it's anything in this kind ofentertainment industry, is there's the people
that like, oh, you know, I was given this, I just
do it because whatever I'm in itfor the money, and those people will

(12:09):
be there, but they're not normallythe top and the best at everything.
You other people that kind of wantthis and will do everything to get it,
and those will keep. Those willbe the people that grow the quickest.
At one point. It might notbe overnight and maybe thirty years into
your career, but you'll explode atsome point because your care and your dedication
to it fucking explodes. Yeah,yeah about it. Like Matt, people

(12:31):
have Mac him out of nowhere.My best been doing it thirteen years.
Matt's fan base kind of blew upand came out of nowhere. Uh,
but Matt is, Matt's been herein the trenches for you know. That's
what That's what his ideology and howhe blew up online does is it's a
coin flip. If you hit thatcoin one of those days, that day
is going to blow and some daysit goes, some days it doesn't.

(12:54):
Yeah, it's my one of myfavorite comics. Bird. He talks about
a time he was sleeping on afood time like two thousand and six.
He had a special at that point, you know what I'm saying. So
it's this thing where she's got thisreally good story about how he was watching
Dave Chappelle at the Comedy Cellar andthen he goes up and he does,
you know, he does. Hedoes his time. He gets off stage

(13:15):
thinking that that was fine whatever,and he sees Dave in the corner.
David talks to him and Dave says, you know, what you're doing right
now is not hitting, but whenit does, it's going to be the
biggest thing in the world. AndBurr always talks about it. He's like
that that kept me, That's whatkept me going for like six years.
He just yeah, Burlis was oneof those people for me. There's a
handful of the other ones, likeHarley from Epicmeal Time and you have Drift

(13:39):
from Call of Duty and stuff likethat, and they're like, Zach,
the things you do fucking matter.You're you're you actually could do this.
Just keep delly, because even ifthe numbers don't show it right now,
at some point, this is goingto do something. You're you're impacting people.
You're getting the messages of oh thathelped or oh that was hilarious or
whatever. That's what matters. Itdoesn't matter if there's five hundred people watching.

(14:00):
It doesn't matter if there's five thousandpeople watching. You've already had both.
You have to you have two hundredthousand eyes on you a week.
Just keep going, you got this, Just just breathe. You got it.
And that shit is so weird becausethere there's some people that just see
the value and what you're saying orwhat you're doing, and then there's some
people that just don't get it.It's like, I'm not coming for you.

(14:20):
You don't get it. But thereare some people that just blow up
overnight. That blowing up overnight hadthirty years worth of work behind it.
It just takes time, man,I see that. But the sticky point
of you don't get it, Ido especially stand up. If someone's like
I don't get it that, itdoesn't make me go, oh well whatever,
it goes well, what I'm like, why are you? How?

(14:41):
What am I doing wrong? Ifyou're not understanding this? Because it helped
me and it's helping other people andthey, I say helping, but they're
laughing, They're enjoying every second ofthis, So what are you not getting?
It? Kind of makes me presson them, right if they don't
get that, yeah, because Iunderstand there's different levels to people and they

(15:01):
and they'll understand things at different levels. And like obviously sometimes if you throw
a five layer joke out there,that's a pud somewhere that oh the the
dimwits will fucking grab it, buteverybody else won't grab that part. Everybody
else will understand the metajoke that you'retelling. At the end, it's like,
Okay, you might not fully understandwhere I'm going, you might not
grab it, but I would rathersay it that way because you know,

(15:24):
it's more eloquent, more in depth. Yeah, my My My goal is
to say it the best way thatI can. And at the end of
the day, who gets that iswho gets that, and that's who I'm
going for. But if you don't, like if it's not your thing,
say that. But when people goI don't get it, and go shut
up man, like you know,like if like Radio City, you know

(15:45):
there's six thousand people in there,we're doing well, we're crushing murder and
whatever. Six thousand people left,five nine, nine nine people left,
but one person because I don't getit. I go, hey, man,
that's on you, Like that's thefrustrated person. I want to be
like, how are you. It'sokay to say it's not your thing,
but to say you don't get it, I don't get it, Like,
go fuck yourself, dude, Likeyou're just that's like a thing inside somebody

(16:07):
that has to you have to go, Like you need to figure yourself.
You need to figure out why youdon't, why you won't let yourself just
be open to this thing. Yeah, that's like a contrarianism. Who is
that? Show yourself, Show yourself. I'm haunting your room. I was
killed. I'm actually like all right, I thought I thought I heard it

(16:30):
night. Yeah exactly. I diedof food poisoning in your room a week
ago. Haven't moved on yet.Good jokes, bathroom. But yeah,
like that's that just seems like acontraandism thing where it's like I'm going to
show up to this event. I'mgoing to be the outlier by not liking
it. It's also the same onYouTube or you just kind of like see
it's like everyone else is enjoying thiscontent, but you yet you're here for

(16:52):
some reason and you just want tomake it known like whatever, Yeah with
it all the time. It seemslike everybody wants to pick and be like,
oh, he's wearing a dog collar. It's like we just went two
hours of scripted fucking thought process,and it just goes and you're worried about
dog collar or hair, somebody's hairlooking funny. That would work a lot

(17:12):
better if I had camera on.Oh so you are you are a furry?
Yeah, Like that wasn't a jokewhen I said that. When we
were saying that, I'm actually that'sso funny because I have this is these
are new to me. I foundout what a furry was. Well when
when when did I jerk off tohim? It was about a week ago.
No, that's how we get No, but yeah, I heard out.

(17:37):
I heard about furries. What isI hate to go off topic now,
but like, no podcast, whatis? What? In the fuck?
I don't hate I don't get it. It comes around, well,
is it based on anime? Isit like is it like a a comic

(18:00):
con thing or you guys just littlehorny animals. Well, it's actually kind
of like the same kind of subcultureas like anime and stuff, where it's
like, oh, this is justa very appealing thing to people. I
am not a super degenerate furry.I'm not the one that's just like around
fucking and costumes all day, butthat is a large part of the community.

(18:21):
And it is funny because like adecade ago, you know, it
was very niche subculture to where likeyou had to be on the Internet and
as degenerate on like four Chan andstuff to know like what a furry was
or have a friend that's a furry. But now it's like mainstream because of
all the antics and stupid shit furriesdo, where it's like, ah,
we ruined another convention by fucking inthe parking lot or something like that.

(18:41):
But but for me, it's amore uh personal thing just what I find
appealing. Like I think it's coolthat I can get like a really awesome
wolf character and then like represent myselfas that. I'm listening, Well,
I'm just kind of like where thatthat that kind of trails up. And
then other people they're just like somethinghappened in their childhood and they need the

(19:03):
porn. So to me, Ifound this really weird intermingling of what a
furry actually is. I'm not afurry, so let me just start off
with that. But I said thisto Rlis and he's like, you know,
it kind of makes sense. Soimagine what you think of of like
a Native American chick or dude whohas a whole bunch of tapestries on the

(19:23):
wall. What are those tapestries of? Normally when you walk into their house,
they're gonna have these big ass fuckingblankets all over the wall. Eighty
percent of them are horses or wolvesor deer or some pretty animal picture with
some weird ass fake sunset that hasa whole bunch of solar flare things in
it and everything else. Yeah,to me, it seems like Native American

(19:45):
culture is what influenced furrysm almost entirely. They just are a little bit weirder
with it and want to get dressedup. Oh, I don't think it's
an influence. I think there's actuallylike the more I think about it might
be something inside of us as peopleto a degree, because like you needed
the people that went out and tamedthe animals or had that spiritual connection to
the land, like that could besome kind of like crossedover genetic stuff.

(20:10):
I wonder if it's almost like,uh, kind of a level of degrading
yourself to something that's less than ahuman, Like you're picturing yourself as something
that's not a human, so thatway, you're like dehumanizing yourself almost,
which is why so many people gothe degenerate way of I'm gonna get fucked
with a tail and ears on.I just think like the art style is

(20:32):
more appealing. You know. Otherpeople like animes, some people like comic
books and cartoons. I'm just likethis furry art looks really cool some people.
Some people like girls. I getit. This is It's a lot
of different Yeah, a lot ofdifferent tastes out there, yeah, exactly.
Some people like girls, some peoplelike tails, some people want to
fuck up raccoon. All right,and I've done, look done, I've

(20:55):
done my fair share of weird sexualthings. Man, Like I said,
thirty two in this industry. Ilive in Hollywood. I got some stories.
But yeah, I guess sponsors soyou can keep those to yourself.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.So it's just very funny, very furry,
is I said, It's new conceptto me. That's why I guess

(21:15):
I'm still I just heard about thislast week and I just kind of wanted
to a rabbit hole of it.So I have a very I have a
very you know, very much avery loaded perspective, but also a very
naive perspective of what they are.Well, yeah, most of how you
interact with people as a furry whereit's like, all right, which side
you know about? All right?And then most times like yeah, that's
kind of it or not, it'sweird the name. The name is just

(21:38):
not you guys, gotta work onthe name. Brand Furries is terrible.
It's a terrible name. It's terrible. It doesn't it is it old old
furries. It's because it sounds it'sit sounds like something I want to bully
if if I'm big honest with you. The subcultures furryism, you have Bronies,

(22:00):
which is the same exact naming scheme, that just want to fuck my
little pony people, and that's evenmore fucked up. Oh see this is
now you're now you're really busting myhead on. Bronis are like guys that
like my little pony but like adultmen, and they get weird. Wow
interesting, Ye, I don't reallyweird. Yeah. The Internet culture is

(22:25):
the weirdest culture. It's because youcan be whatever you want to You could
truly be whatever you want to beon the Internet, and I think that's
why so many people rallied against thingslike gamer Gate when that ship was going
off. They're like, oh,well, women complain that they say tits,
get the fuck out, But it'slike, you don't have to show
your tits, just actually have apoint in what you're saying. Like people

(22:48):
used to be terrifying gamers, remember, like we gotta get rid of and
now gamers people are like gamers everywhere, but it's also gamers. People are
like, let them just sit intheir chair, leave them alone, like
it used to be this. You'relike, how could you now no offense
to the to the guy below?But furries now are popping up. People
are like, why did we evermake fun of gamers? Like Bronie's we

(23:08):
have people trying to fuck my littlepony, and people are like, why
did we ever make fun of gamers? We had, Well, there's all
these other things that respawned from it, just in general, like it's a
weird I don't know, I don'tknow anything about that world, so I'm
just gonna start sounding induran. Andwhen I start sounding ignorant, I start
to try to make jokes and sometimesI can sound mead. So I don't
want to No, no, Icannot have That's good thing about being a

(23:30):
furry. You just you just getit. All day long, so you
have to grow a thick skin.So it is sexual in different ways,
yes, but uh, the funnything is the way you were just like,
oh, but Bronie is, andwhat about gamers. No, the
cool thing is Bronie's took a lotof heat off of us for a long
time. It's like, well,at least they're not into my little pony,
so I can understand the dude thatthinks he's a fox. Yeah,

(23:52):
okay, that's good. Yeah,at least they're fucking grown up horses.
Well yeah, oh yeah for furs. Yeah, at least they're grown up.
For this is your fucking weirdos.Well, this shit was weird.
This happened in March. A Californiaman was arrested for allegedly eating a severed
leg that he took from a pedestrianthat was struck by a train. The

(24:14):
motherfucker ran over to a train crossing, so all legs said, look,
it's dinner and started eating it likea fucking turkey leg that he got it
medieval times. That's one hell ofa segue. Oh I figured we were
talking about dudes doing weird shit toanimals. This dude was homeless. And
he just said, ooh, here'sleg, here's dinner, and just started
eating it like a turkey leg andwalking down the middle of lad like this

(24:40):
just was walking down the walkway,walking down the sidewalk, eating a fucking
leg that he found in the middleof the train crossing. Where did the
rest of the body go? Uh? Yet all over the train. I
guess the man who was struck wassadly dead and he was seen eating the
leg. According to a witness whowas later booked in jail for removing or

(25:02):
mutilating human remains, it's weird thatthat's all he was charged with when he
was walking down La Boulevard or SunsetStrip eating a fucking leg like it's a
turkey leg. That to me wouldbe really fucking That would be a mind
fuck. What would you do?Especially, yeah, like I'm six five,
imagine somebody walking down the fucking roadwith my leg just trying to like

(25:26):
maneuver a fucking leg that's bigger thanyour fucking arm. I also seen it.
It's so how long did it takefor people to realize it was real?
Because la, you see some crazyLA used to be. It really
used to be one of the saddestpart. We go back to talk about
traveling. The other bad part aboutdoing all this traveling is you see all
of these wonderful, I mean trulygreat American cities crumbling. It really is.

(25:52):
I mean it's it's tough. Man. Like. We just went to
San Francisco. And I went toSan Francisco the year before the pandemic for
the first time, and it wasbeautiful, vibrant, it felt incredible.
San Francisco now truly is one ofthose places where it's almost unrecognized. The
only reason I recognize in San Franciscois because people say, you're in San
Francisco and you candge yeah, andthe buildings uh. And then and then

(26:15):
you come to La and La.Look, La is still La. It's
fine. It's beautiful, the city, the skyline, you know, the
mountains behind you like I'm out,I'm out looking at you know, all
of Hollywood right now, and it'sjust all those things where it's still beautiful.
But then you start walking around andyou start hanging around, and you
go, man, this place isway different. So it's the almost this

(26:37):
issue is I mean, I don'tknow if I did this joke when it
was in New York. But likeI say, a lot, I go,
you know, this place doesn't havea homeless problem. It just has
crackhead that don't go home. SoI don't know if that's how long is
this? Like, how long didit take? No, somebody goes like,
is that a fucking real leg right? How long did that? Don't
exactly? Like the weird thing isis, so I live up close to

(26:59):
where the where you as did theother show in upstate New York, near
Albany, And I'm even walking aroundlike the small towns up here, even
where you know, there's ten thousandpeople in this town. It just everything
feels glung now. And I don'tknow if that's just a COVID problem or
just the world kind of changed.Everybody sew up their own fucking ass.
Everybody's so disconnected from what's happening nextto them that nobody really kind of perceives

(27:22):
it exactly what the fuck's going on. Everybody's kind of just in their own
fucking world and fucking consumed by it. And it's the weirdest fucking thing that
this dude was even charged, honestly, because you know how many people just
don't fucking pay attention and don't care. I saw this YouTube short the other
day. It was it was oneof those weird ass social experiments that I'm
surprised more people haven't died during this. Dude walked up behind a kid with

(27:45):
a white rag obviously chloroform joke,understandable thing, and he walks up,
grabs the kid, walks into thisalley. There was two women that said
what the fuck? Ha ha haha, and walking like, what the
fuck is wrong with you? Howthe fuck do you? Like? I
understand social experiment videos are blowing upeverywhere. How do you not respond?

(28:08):
How do you not even just try? I'm gonna find out. I'm gonna
check on this. I'm gonna stayhere and pull my phone out and call
nine one one. Yeah a minimum. You should freeze, run, or
like be a normal person and tryand fight the situation. Those are the
three answers. Why the fuck areyou just going about your day? Time?

(28:29):
Broken? Everyone where? It's like, oh, this is just another
skit, this is another thing.Oh it's like what I saw on Twitter,
so it can't be real. It'slike, no, the real life,
if you're outside, you're in it, and people do not understand that
anymore. It's I was. Iwas thinking about this the other day when
I was If I remember driving somewhereand I'm gonna rush and and I see
somebody kind of being an asshole onthe road. I'm not. I'm a

(28:49):
good person, but I will havethoughts. I go, if that person
crashed right in front of me,what I keep driving. I always think
about that about that a lot.I do. If I was walking in
a street I saw a boy gettingchloroformed, I may step in and do
something. But if I'm on thestreet and I see a car start flipping,

(29:10):
I maybe maybe a kiss. Ican't do anything for that person that
car. They're they're a goner.Yeah, but if you run, you
run. You know what I'm saying. That's a normal response at least.
It's like people going down disconnected tothe world for a kid is insane to
me, And how gated the worldis blew my fucking mind this week.
I'm sure both of you guys haveseen this ship. Uh. I believe

(29:33):
on whatever podcast they said, Hey, if you're in the woods and you're
walking around and something comes upon you, and you have two choices for what
that possibly is. But we wantto. We want to ask you which
one you would rather? It bea man or a grizzly bear. And
I'm not going to tell you whatthe man wants. I'm not going to
tell you anything. You're going ona hike, you don't necessarily know exactly

(29:56):
where you are, but you kindof have an idea. But you're going
to run into a bear or aman. What would you rather? And
women, for some reason are answeringninety percent bear good. Women are trending
more furry than you know, normal. But well, the thing is,
Google trends actually spiked in searches forbear penis. Yes, so I think

(30:18):
women are now becoming more and morefurry and degenerate. But the fact that
so many women, but there's somany different fucking answers to this. Why
why are women like? Yeah,men are so scary? I'd rather deal
with what are men choosing? Menare saying, well, isn't it stupid
that you're choosing a bear when they'reguaranteed to kill you? At a man's

(30:41):
at least questionable? You know,I guess? Okay, So the first
question I have is, as aman, question, would I rather if
I see a man or a bear, What do I have on me?
You're just walking through the woods,Okay, but yeah, i'd rather do
what does this man have a weaponor is he just a man? You're
not allowed to know anything about theman. It's completely vague. That's the

(31:03):
thing is, like they're they're assumingthat there's negative connotation to it. That
to me blows my mind. It'slike, if you're lost in the woods,
the man's fifty percent chance is gonnahelp you, Yeah, maybe fifty
percent chance kill you. Even ifyou want to rate it to one hundred
percent the extreme fifty to fifty chance, there is one hundred percent going to
kill you. Well, here's thethe bear is not going to hundred percent

(31:26):
to kill you, but a onehundred percent the bear will not help you.
Right, Like the bear either justgonna walk by, negative or neutral.
Yeah, exactly, it's one hundredpercent away from a man. Yeah,
you have a chance to get awayfrom a bear, sure, but
like one hundred percent that bear isyou're not gonna survive more because of the
bear. The man can potentially belike, oh, I know the way

(31:48):
out come on the bears just gonnabe like oh okay, keep walking,
or it's gonna it's gonna you know, it's good Boston bruin You so yeah,
I think obviously you go with theman. That's just that this is
yeah. I don't know. WhenI see surveys like this too, I
think it's just very reactionary. Butif you sat down, most people are
like, hey, you're in thewoods alone walking and you see a man

(32:08):
or a bear? Which one wouldyou rather come across? And then I
would go do I need rescuing it? If they go no, I go
oh, I would think about itfor a second. But obviously the question
is always man, because if aman decides to attack you, you probably
have a better chance winning against theman. Because a bear is an animal.
Bears don't have this idea of like, oh, this thing's fighting back.

(32:30):
It just has the idea of,ah, I gotta kill good,
to kill good kill right. Mangoes, oh, fuck, this thing's
fighting back. You hit a manhard enough, it's flight response. You
know, you start to it startsto question if it can lose bears.
Don't think am I gonna lose bears? Just think o the crazy social part
of this that blows my mind thatnobody genuinely fully grasps. Yet is women

(32:52):
are saying, oh, I'm soafraid of men that I'd rather have a
neutral or negative response from a bear, and guys are like, yeah,
right, okay, So why areyou saying, let's let men that are
questionably harming people into our bathrooms?And I was like, wow, you
didn't think of that at all.You just proved all every conservatives point for

(33:14):
the past four years. You justsaid, oh shit, they're right without
saying we're right. Thank you verymuch. Well, what are we talking
about? What do you mean whata lot of the females that are saying,
oh, I'd rather meet a bearin the woods than men. Yeah,
are a lot of the left,super super progressive people that are ons
that have only fans and stuff likethat that hate men. They're saying,

(33:34):
oh, look, I'm so woke. I hate men. I wouldn't want
to run into them in the woods. They're saying they're so scary that I'd
rather run into a bear that thatwould kill me almost guaranteed at some point.
And then they're like, well,men just don't understand. It's like,
no, you're legitimately saying exactly whatwe're saying. Stop letting bad men
in bathrooms that don't need to bethere. That was your thing. So

(33:55):
if you're talking to a liberal person, or if you're talking to that level
of left wing liberal person that you'retalking about, they don't see that as
a man, right, they theygenerally believe that's a woman. So that's
why they don't. They don't,they don't. They don't see the difference,
which is insane. So that's whyyou can't go gotcha, because they're
gonna go, no, that's awoman, and you're gonna go, well,

(34:15):
no, no, it's a man. They're gonna go, no,
it's a woman, and you're togo, oh, I wish a bear
would eat you right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So that's why
that that For me, it's justlike you can't use that as gotcha because
they genuinely believe. I just Ithink it's funny that it's like you're literally
explaining exactly what every conservative has explainedfor the past what five years now,

(34:39):
and you're like, no, no, no, no, not at all.
It was like, fuck man,fuck that. Yeah, that's cool.
I also think it's kind of weirdhow charged that question is because the
way that's presented, it's like manor bear. It's like, Oh,
you're thinking like the man is suspiciousin some way, could also just be
a hiker walking the other direction doesn'teven acknowledge your existence. Ninety percent of

(34:59):
the time. You know what newquestion for the Internet. You're alone in
the woods, you're walking and yousee a bear or a woman? Which
one are you talking to? Thisis we don't have to answer it now.
I'm just putting it out there.What do you do? And I
can't wait to see what people sayto this. All the women are going
to say no, I'm not gonnasay anything, but I would be excited

(35:24):
to see how the Internet answers thatquestion, So fuck you Internet. Doubling
down. My favorite personality question isthis one. You have to buy three
things at Walmart to make the cashhere as uncomfortable as you possibly can,
but you actually have to use thethings afterwards, not as what you intended,
but just making them uncomfortable, Andyou have to use them afterwards for

(35:45):
whatever the hell they're used for.What do you buy it? Buy?
Oh, this is a psychopath test. I'm not allowed to answer else the
Internet. It's more mad at me, a plunger of xlex and whiskey.
So I found this list at myjob when I was working a normal job
before. It had chicken breasts,sleeping pills, lube, and corsets.

(36:15):
I really want to know what theydid with a lube and chicken breasts.
It really doesn't make any damn senseto me. But you know, I
do have some strange late night likewhen i'm when i'm when I'm back home
doing spots, I'll I'll stop ata seven eleven to get like, you
know, maybe a gatorade, andthen I think, oh, it's right,
I need dishwashing. I've had someweird subs. I've had some weird

(36:37):
categories. When I write a list, right, it's not going to be
my sex lube is next to theplunger, which is next to condoms.
It's normally going to be sex lube, condoms, whatever I need in that
section of the store. And thenthe next like who wrote this in their
mind that they're like sleeping pills,lube, chicken breast and whatever, like

(36:58):
yeah, and who needs to writethat down? Can't you just remember that
shit? Yeah? It just itblows my mind that people just have some
weird way to just observe the world. Where they just connect all these little
things like my ADHD does it allthe time, but my sleeping pills,
my lube, and my chicken breastdon't go together at all, not at

(37:19):
all, don't. I don't understand. I'll tell you what, man,
it gives me. That gives meanxiety for some reason, that question,
because I'm thinking about I'm just startingto think about all the things. Yeah,
I don't know. It's interesting.It's an interesting thing to like base
on how we people, we perceivepeople will judge us, because it's so
funny to think about when you're doingsomething in front of another person and you

(37:44):
have to think about, like,oh god, what do they think?
And then you have to remember thatthey probably did the same thing. Like
that person you're checking out, They'renot just They don't just stand there and
check people out all day. Theyhave a whole nother life. They get
checked out at other grocery stores,they've they've bought we'd shit before. So
I've been trying to shift my mindset, my focus on when I'm doing something,

(38:05):
even on stage, when I'm sayingsomething that I'm like this, Oh
my god, I go I knowmost to everyone in here is if they
haven't thought this, they thought likethis, and so it goes to this
point where you go, okay,so this makes it feel me. This
makes me feel more free about talkingabout it. And here's the thing is,
just because they thought it doesn't meanthey want to talk about it,

(38:27):
right so, or just because they'vedone it doesn't mean they want to bring
it up and do it again.But the fact is is it makes it
easier for me to talk about it. It makes it easier for me to
just to do it because I go, oh, you've thought this, and
now I'm going to show you whyit's okay. I'm going to show you
how to get through it. Andthat's like laughter is involuntary. So if
you can go up there and talkabout whatever you want, if you really

(38:49):
can make it funny, if youcan get people to a place where they
they are comfortable with thinking about itagain, or they're comfortable with thinking about
it in general, they'll laugh atit every time. And so it's the
same thing buying shit at the supermarket. You're like, oh, man,
I'm about to buy condoms and cucumbers, right, But you're like, I
remember buying condoms for the first time. It was the weirdest fucking thing.

(39:10):
I was fourteen. I walked intoWalmart, grabbed the fucking I grabbed random
ass fucking condoms that never even fit, and they fucking cut off blood circulation
my dick. That shit fucking hurt. I grabbed these condoms, and I'm
like, okay, so I haveto buy something else otherwise I look weird
because who the fuck is going tosell me with my little dirt stash and

(39:30):
a sketchy hoodie on a pack ofcondoms. They don't fucking ask, they
don't care. They're probably happy thatyou're covering your dick so that way you
don't have babies at fourteen. Atfifteen, I failed that. And then
go through and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna buy this hat. So
I went and bought a hat anda pack of condoms, and I was
like, it was the most uncomfortablefucking thing in my life. And I've

(39:51):
only bought con them twice in myentire life. Yeah, i' vida the
hat made it creepier, right,Yeah, that makes it worse. Yeah,
And I at fourteen, I didn'tfucking understand the fuck's going on.
I have no idea. Yeah,yeah, I mean, look, so
it's like the thing it's when youbuy I've done that. I've bought cucumbers
and condumns before at the same timeI put in cucumbers. My water cucumbers

(40:13):
are perfect accoutremont to a salad.So you buy them at the same time
all the time. But then yougo, this person thinks I'm shoving these
up somebody's ass or my ass,and look, I've done that. But
if things start to get weird,you don't know what you're saying sometimes,
so you don't know what you're doingand you're so worried about what's going on
with this other person. The thingis, I think that's all. Like,

(40:35):
maybe it's the thing too with peoplewhile they when they see the kid
get a little snatched up and takeit to an alley. Maybe it's because
inside they're like, it's always remembered, it's always, it's always always.
Everybody just assumes everything is fake now, even though there's everybody wants the worst
it's ever been. It's like,okay, let's just assume it's fake,
because if it's fake, then wedon't have to deal with it. It's

(40:57):
like we're shoved so far up ourown ass. We don't care anymore.
It's easier to believe everything is fakethan believing everything is real, and it's
it's so jaded. Well, theone thing I will say about phones and
social media stuff is it has takenus out of It's weird. It's almost
suck to sin because the world.You used to have to be concerned with

(41:17):
the world because you were a partof it. But now it seems like
there's this whole other world that youcould be a part of, that you
could be more concerned with. Andso when you step out into the actual
life, you go, I justI'm just getting through this till I can
get back in front of my world. I'm walking of traversing this world till
I can get back to my world. And so a lot of it,

(41:39):
I think it's just that's the mindsetof people. This isn't to them out
here, This is not the world. To them, this is fucking not
this is the world they have togo through to get back to this world.
It's it's very strange with these things. They've put a whole new They've
put everywhere you ever want to goright here. Everything you ever want is

(42:00):
right here. Yeah, so whatis the sixteenth floor, middle of the
building, room sixteen twenty eight.Yeah, yeah, don't worry, no,
no, no, I'm gonna jumpoff next door. So the thing
is, it's it's made it tooeasy to just escape. And so when
people they see something crazy, theirbrain, yeah, they've lost the ability

(42:20):
to process almost it, lost theability to empathy, have empathy. So
when when I walked down the road, especially when I was in the city,
my head's on his swivel. I'mpaying attention to everything, Like I
remember walking through towns and shit withbandanas in my pocket. They're like,
oh, that's scary, blah blahblah blah, Like who gives a fuck?
I know every single person around here. Are they gonna press me because
I have a bandana in my pocket? No, But it's like, yeah,

(42:44):
how that's everybody's so consumed by thingsthat they're not fucking paying attention to
what they're doing anyway. Like it'sweird to me. It's weird that nobody
wants to look at Oh, thisperson's walking here, there's a guy over
there, there's a guy over there. It's like, that's my job as
a dude. It's my job asa man to make sure who whoever I'm
with at that time, it's fuckingsafe. So if we're walking through the
entire town and there's a dude overthere, there's a dude over there,

(43:05):
there's a dude over there, fivepeople past us, that's my job to
pay attention to. And it's likeso many people are so consumed by the
phone that's in their hand that theydon't even pay attention, which is why
there's such an increase in crime anddrama. Now, m and I will
say this just to leave you withthis and have you think about this.
Is even you walking around with yourhead on a swivel, it's still a
version of that. It's still aversion of I have to get through this

(43:28):
world to get back to mind.I would suggest next time you're out,
instead of head on a swivel lookingfor the immediate or the thing to be
worried about or the thing that youjust be out and I try to make
yourself a part of it. OhI okay, good. I'm just saying,
like I perceive what is going oninstead of just ignoring it like most

(43:50):
people do. Okay, As you'rewalking through the city, especially like there's
thousands of people walking around, Sobeing perceptive of what people are doing and
how they're looking at things and whatthey're doing, you're just as important as
you fitting into that ecosystem of whatit is. Now. If you're not
paying attention to anything, you're blindand you are absolutely going to get fucked
with. If you're completely consumed bywhat's going on, you're going to get

(44:13):
fucked with. You kind of haveto be somewhere in the middle, especially
if you have a handful of peoplewith you. It's just yeah, exactly.
I think, yeah, being outbeing present is very hard, and
I think a thing people can doto be present is to just try to
feel their fingertips at any point,like if you can, if you focus
on feeling your fingertips, that's alwaysa good thing. That kind of centers

(44:36):
me a little bit. And thenwhen you're out, try to pick up
how many sounds you can hear.That always kind of gets me. And
then once you kind of while you'redoing that, you realize you're really paying
attention, you're really giving a shit. And then also when you're put in
the situation that you aren't recognized,you don't recognize yourself in or you aren't
familiar with. The idea is donot try to get away from it,

(44:59):
try to to understand it, justtry to be it, like, uh,
try to just immerse yourself. It'slike a fight people like when people
get in fights, they're so terrifiedthey want to get away. If in
a fight, you go, oh, how can I be better at this?
How can I make sure that thisis all you do? The answer
is really just pay attention. Youjust got to really focus in and pay

(45:20):
attention. Even when you're outside inthe world that you're so afraid of.
If you just focus in and payattention, you'll realize there's so much cool
shit going on. And it makescrazy as it is to bite to see
somebody eating a fucking leg of ahuman, that is still something that I
wish I could see exactly. LikeI know Josh Wolf and his phrase of

(45:42):
I like a weird shit, itjust sticks out so much. Like he
was on he was on My jobthis week and they started talking about a
midget baseball player that was banned afterone game that he played. He was
like three foot tall and uh,he played one at that where he struck
out because he couldn't hold back afterbeing pitched three balls in like the early
twenties, and they banned midgets playingbaseball, and I'm just like, I

(46:07):
want to see it. Well,no matter how weird it is, just
let me see it, because googleit. I'm sure there's somewhere exactly,
like, just come on, leteverybody see it. At least. The
world so desensitized to weird shit nowit's like, okay, well, which
is why we have furries, whichis why we have brownies. The world's
so fucking weird now everybody wants tojust be more and more weird. And

(46:30):
here's the thing is, weird issuch a strange thing to me because to
to him, it's not weird.To him, it's his life. Like
being a stand up is weird topeople. To me, it's my life.
It's not weird to me. It'sit's how I know how to live.
So I will say as much asI get away from this idea of
a calling things weird, because it'speople just saying weird as like the nineties

(46:52):
term of like, oh it's differentthan what the norm is, where the
regular is, but it's just whatevermakes you comfortable. That's the thing is.
I don't care it does not matterto me walking down the street.
Every little thing does not matter.That's the thing that's okay about being selfish
or being inside yourself is this doesnot really affect me. It does not
how I how I walk through itand how I perceive it does. But

(47:15):
ultimately I just we have to remembereveryone thinks they're the star of their own
movie. Everyone thinks they're the maincharacter. Every even that homeless guy eating
a leg, met somebody who doesn't. Sure, Absolutely, I've met those
people are the most uncomfortable people tobe around. They're like, I am
one hundred percent supporting actor in mylife and I'm like, how does that

(47:37):
work? I see, I havea different view of them. Uncomfortable.
They're they're intense. They're actually moreintense than Yeah, like they're disconnected from
everything. So they're just trying tomultiply. Like we had. They're very
here, they're very they want toknow about you, and I'm like,
yeah, we had quit a law. When we were doing the live show,
we had like five thousand people inthe in the live chat on Twitch

(48:00):
and uh we had a previous cohost. His name's myth cool fucking dude.
You watch the numbers jump, andevery time the number jumps up in
the top of the screen, hejumps and he gets drawn back and just
like he's not a shy person.He's done crazy fucking things on the internet.
But the second that it's like eyesare on him. He's like,
I'm so uncomfortable. I'm just I'mkind of hyperventilating and hope I don't fuck

(48:23):
up. And you just watch somebodydisconnect from like them, and I'm like,
fuck what that. I know I'mnot a main star, but I'm
the main star to me. Idon't understand how. It's like, dude,
I want to light up the roomright now. I want to leave
an impact on these people. Andyou're like, fuck, fuck, fuck,
don't fuck up, don't fuck up. I'm gonna step on my toes

(48:44):
and crinkle my toes and hope thatall my blood goes there so that way.
Stop thinking, and you just watchsomebody stressed out of their mind because
they're not used to this, andthat is so yeah, and it's so
weird, like just not being comfortableenough in your own skin to just be
okay, and it's weird. Yeah, okay, now, uh man,

(49:06):
guys, I really do appreciate it. I hate to rush out of here,
but I got so much goddamn thingsI gotta do today. I really
appreciate you'll having me, dude.It was fun cool man. Yeah,
no, guys, if the wordof a furry means anything to you,
you're a dude. You were great, man, This is fine. I
wish you got to add me onInstagram so I could see you. I

He's on one of the craziest fuckingtrips in the world. So we're gonna

(50:09):
we're gonna close this out with onetopic. Brulus as sick as a dog,
so we're not gonna let him shithimself. He might get it in
the fur So Nintendo switch to whatwhat the hell is going on with this
shit? Man? I sent youto the tweet. Pull that up the
Twitter link. Yep, I gotit. This happened at eleven nine pm

(50:30):
Pacific time. Now it makes sensebecause like Japanese time zones and stuff,
but like it almost seemed like afake or prank. But it's the official
Nintendo account. Yeah, that's definitelyofficial Nintendo account. Yeah, like it's
got the gold stamp, and itjust felt like such a random post,
like oh, is this actually whenthey announced the switch like twenty years ago
or whatever, Like no, it'slike this is Forukawa. Did you did

(50:53):
you check this one? Or isit the same exact thing? Yeah,
it's just the translation, Like that'ssomething they even they were like, oh,
we know that America, like youknow, the West is going to
go crazy for this as well.So President of Nintendo. We will make
an announcement about the successor to theNintendo Switch within this fiscal year, so
it's not even like the announcement ofNintendo Switch to the announcement the announcement of

(51:16):
the announcement later this year. It'sbeen over nine years since we announced the
existence of Nintendo Switch back back inMarch twenty fifteen, which is actually like
crazy nine years. We'll be holdinga Nintendo Direct this June about the switch
lineup. There will be no mentionof the Switch successor in that presentation,
so it's like past June. It'sgonna be like the September November Nintendo Direct

(51:38):
where we find out about the NintendoSwitch too. And they even had to
like preface that because everyone's going crazyif they say like, oh, by
the way, Nintendo Direct in June, everyone's like nin switch to announcement.
But no, they're just like it'scoming stopping idiots bye exactly. And the
ship that they're looking at. Soi'm Google right now when they're releasing their

(52:02):
consoles, and it seems like sowith the GameCube and the Wii they released
in fall, and the WU theyreleased in fall, and then you have
this switch in sixty four and thegame Away set all released in March.

(52:22):
Well, the problem with an announcementthough, is that that's also like a
year away because we got to seelike Switch and Switch footage for like two
years before it came out. Sois the Switch still one of the top
I think Nintendo Switch actually just passedPS two or it's like ten million sales
from passing PS two. It's actuallylike the number one selling console ever,

(52:45):
number two right now? Well,I believe the Wi is the best.
Oh yeah, maybe might been consolewar stuff where it's just like, oh,
everyone says like two's untouchable. Monthlylaunch sales switches a far and ahead
of everything just because as time goeson, the more kids and more gaming.

(53:07):
I know this is uh, itseems like monthly worldwide sales through month
thirty four. So the first threeyears worth of the or the last three
years of the console switches at fortyeight million. PS five is at forty
two million, Xbox X is attwenty three million, So they're just blowing

(53:28):
everything out of the water. Theonly thing that, uh, they're losing
in is EU, which is ledby PS five, and if you go
to Japan, they blow out PSfive and Xbox completely. Yeah. So
this website is like the official Nintendohardware website. We only sold one hundred
million. Nintendo Switch has blown theWii out by forty and I think I

(53:49):
think the number one easy to meis the PS two with like one sixty.
It's like Nintendo Switch has a smallchance of station. The PS two
wasn't the we the one that everygramma on everything had in their houts and
everything. That's because it's like WESports is like one of the highest selling
titles ever because it came bundled withall the wheez It's just weird to look

(54:10):
at everything to that level of ohyou know this? Okay, So PS
two the home console released in twothousand, about one hundred and fifty five
million. Number two is the NintendoDS at one hundred and fifty four million.
I assume that they're probably including theDS Light and the DSi within the
DS sales. Yeah, just kindof makes sense. It's it's the same

(54:30):
console, yeah, the entire versionsof it. Yep. And then comes
to Switch at one hundred and fortyone million. It's crazy when you see
the drop off behind the switch though, what do you think is the next
console after the Switch. Nintendo Dthree DS is seventy six million, but
I don't know if anything caught onehundred million game Boys. So there is

(54:52):
four that are in between the NintendoSwitch and one hundred million, so like
game Boy, game Boy Colors,next, then PS four PlayStation, and
then we Those are the only consolesthat have sold over one hundred million.
And then I'm surprised by this.It goes we PlayStation three, Xbox three

(55:15):
sixty. I thought the three sixtywas ahead of both the Wii and the
PlayStation, but yeah, you think, I guess that was at that time
everyone had an Xbox three sixty,and now you can find everybody had a
ten bucks. Yeah. And uh, surprisingly, after everybody said that the
WU was such a crash and sucha burn, that U thirteen point five

(55:38):
to six million, and I thinkit was only out for what three years,
since it's twenty twelve year and thenthis four years because it has the
switch at seventeen eighteen somewhere in there, the Series X has only sold twenty
one million. So the Series Xhas absolutely failed on every single platform.
If they're saying the U is afailure, which is just an upgraded Wei

(55:59):
it should be, and we sales, but that's just me. But yeah,
so we have a fucking Nintendo SwitchLaunch, well, Nintendo Switch too.
So do you think, like wesaid last week, it's going to
end up being a pocket piec Isthat what your prediction is. Yeah,
they have to like make it towardssimilar to the Steam Deck and all these

(56:19):
other things, because they're already runningSwitch emulators. Yeah, they have to
kind of cut them off at thefoot. In my opinion that they have
to do something weird or do somethingcompletely unexpected, especially with the Xbox sales.
Even yeah, has to have agame Cube emulator. Why not allow

(56:42):
them fucking available on drive? Likeyou could go all the way back to
N sixty four and N sixty fourbe the first one that you do.
Emulation wise, you could put discsin the back, We've seen it from
the PSP. You could put thesmall discs in the back as we saw
with the PSP. So I wonderif they do something with that form factor
and just leave it full size nahand just have a disk drive on the

(57:07):
back. That sounds horrible. Itdoes sound horrible, but I wouldn't be
surprised if that's the way that theyget past it and allow backwards compatibility,
I don't think, because they haveto work in the DS and the three
DS somehow too. So would yourather give up the Wii or the three
DS, because that's probably what theySo they're not going to come up with

(57:32):
an emulator for the Wii. They'rethey're not. They haven't done it yet,
So it would backwards compatibility wise,it would end up being either emulator
or on the hard drive and availableto play. So it would have to
be slit in like a disk driveon the back. The three DS would
be a slot on the top likethe current switches. Now I think they

(57:54):
just if it's a pocket PC,it can have all the emulator on it.
People are running Dolphin on their SteamDeck. Probably I don't keep up
with all. That's who we are, Yeah, that's what I mean.
Like so like the Nintendo just doesNintendo just does that. They're like,
yeah, we can, we haveour Wi Virtual Shop, we have our
GameCube Shop and whatever old they wantto put on it. Like that's how

(58:15):
they have to. But Nintendo's allergicto money, Like so that's what everyone
wants. They're never going to doit, but that would be like the
console war totally. You seem kindof lean into that shit recently with them
launching all the games on the NintendoOnline shit anyway, but that was all
yeah, I know, But that'smy point is, like they're finally launching

(58:36):
the things, they're just not havingPokemon Snap on my Wii. I'd Pokemon
Puzzle League on my Wii. Itjust took us ten years to get back
there. That's why I'm saying,I think it's crazy. They have to
open up their reverse compatibility quite abit, and I think that's kind of
step one. But I think pocketPiece is the only way that they have
an answer to kind of stay inthe market that they're in, because obviously

(58:58):
with those sales, and if salesare true, they've stepped forward in a
very very big way in the pastcouple of years. The only one that
kind of has the availability to passthem back would be PS five, which
is at like eighty I think itwas like fifty or sixty million. They
have a chance to keep going,but they're releasing a new console now,
the new console generations here, soit has to at least pass the PS

(59:21):
five in the series x I thinkthe only way they do that is pocket
PC because if they release a switchto with a bigger battery and that's the
only upgrade really other than maybe UIissues, what are they doing so it
would be a stronger console and itwouldn't be able to be hacked because the
only reason the switch is hackable isbecause the first generation. So if they
have like a new chip that doesn'tget hacked, that's what I'm saying.

(59:43):
That's probably the generation disconnects disconnects theoriginal switch, which is what they want
to do. They want to breakthat connection. They're probably going to drop
the E shop on the switch onerather quickly, probably much quicker than they
did the three DS. They're goingto want to get rid of that connection.
Yeah, I'm saying that they're goingto disconnect it. Not online wise,

(01:00:05):
I'm saying they're going to connect disconnectthe generations. So if you play
it on the new switch, you'llhave everything available to you, but you
won't be able to transfer forward.I feel like you should be able to
transfer forward. They I'm just sayingI think they. I think they're going
to try and disconnect it harder becausethe three DS to switch was such a
flop with hacks. Well, thingis like, I don't think the hacking

(01:00:30):
can progress forward, but they definitelyhave to make the backwards compatibility and synchronization
strong. Oh. Absolutely, it'llbe interesting to see what they do.
Yeah, I'm excited, like happy. It's been like four years of just
like Nintendo switch to announcement next monthas direct. So it's like, oh,
they finally announced it. It's realof course, because like it's been

(01:00:50):
so and they slip through your throatwas saying, and it's not when you
fuckers are going to say it is. It's not next direct. Shut the
fuck up. Yeah, might bethe direct after that, but it's not
next Direct, so shut out please. That to me it was cool they
at least stuck their foot inside ofthe other people's mouths and said, Now,
that's why I like Japan. They'rebeing more direct at least, which

(01:01:15):
is a hell of a lot betterthan what they expected, what I expected.
So boys, with Virulus being sickas a dog, make sure to
go check out the sponsors and everythingelse. Next week we will be back
full time. Oh wait, wehave Factor. I should have had a
Factor meal instead of trying to makemy own fooding poison myself. Yeah,
you probably could have got some FactorTurkey chili and it probably would have worked

(01:01:37):
out fantastic. So use the codedown in the description for g fuel and
Factor show them that we love themand uh as always guys, we'll see
if I can make it episode.Our guests made it like
