What's going on, Peach. You're listening to Giant Robot Radio
right here on the Forecast Media Podcast Network. I'm your host,
Big Daddy Swayne, your main man the master Plan, bringing
you news, sports, entertainment and random opinions, combining them together
to transform your listening experience. We follow me on Twitter
(00:32):
at salave O three. We follow him on Instagram or
Big Daddy Swayne Andrews substriving Me YouTube channel, YouTube dot com,
slash Sundwave at three. Sandwave is in the transformer A
three is in the area code. Coming up this summing
around you, my thoughts on some international trade policies and
(00:56):
a few things happening around my hometown of A, Georgia.
You're listening to Giant Robot Radio right here on the
Forecast Media Podcast Network. Let's power it up. So President
Trump has put in new tariffs. That's the trades on
(01:24):
goods that we get from other countries and as one
hundred and four percent tariff on goods we get from
child I'm trying to piece together in my mind everything
(01:45):
that's going on just not working in finance. I just
know that everybody that deals with Wall Street stock markets.
They have been in a panic the last few days.
(02:08):
You can just see a bunch of red arrows going
down anytime you look up what's going on Wall Street.
It's times like this you start looking around at everything
that you consume and you realize that almost everything from
(02:38):
the phone that we use to our computers, a lot
of the clothes that we wear are not made in America.
They come from someplace else. Turkey believes that they will
(03:05):
not be affected as much by the new tariffs that
are in multiple countries, not just China, but the UK.
They've got a big financial sector and you know they're
(03:28):
a little nervous over there. It is interesting to note
that two billionaires, King Griffin and ken Land gunn Kin Lagard,
he's the founder, one of the co founders of the
(03:55):
home depot chain. They have not been pleased with this
round of tariffs forty six percent on Vietnam and the
(04:18):
other countries. Said they didn't give enough time to negotiate.
So when the long time backers, the billionaires are concerned
with your policy, that could mean a reverse of course
very quickly. But in any case, have you been following
(04:43):
this tariff story, what do you think will happen. Do
you think things will turn around for the better or
do you think worst case scenario we end up in
a recession before the end of the year. Hit me
up on Twitter at S three. Of course, can always
email me at more Phenomenal at gmail dot com. We
(05:04):
can discuss. Now. There was recently a video presentation from
Nintendo about their new system after months of speculation about
the name and what's coming. As far as what we'll
(05:30):
be able to play, we do have a price. The
Nintendo Switch To is going to have a cost of
four hundred and forty nine dollars. Now, if you get
(05:56):
Mario Kart World, which is the new Mario Kart edition,
is going to come in at four ninety nine. If
you get Mario Kart just by itself, it will be
eighty dollars. Now, here's the thing about the price. The
(06:26):
Super Nintendo when it came out nineteen ninety one was
two hundred dollars. Now two hundred dollars in today's money
is four hundred and fifty dollars. The price that is
(06:46):
being asked for the switch To clearly a more superior
machine to the Super Nintendo. So what you're paying for
what the machine can do as far as your Internet
connectivity and audio quality ability to stream. If video streaming
(07:14):
is what you're into, that it's gonna be a value
to you. There are so many characters in this new
Mario World game. Like clearly you've got your standard characters
(07:35):
of Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and Donkey Kong, so many of
the minor characters, like some of which have not been
seen on screen since the Wee Days then it's the
(08:00):
Wee Days. They have their own cars that you can
drive around. Rocky Wrench like he's little turtle guy, throws
the wrenches on you on the coop of airships. He's
a playable character. You can play the Goomba, the little
(08:26):
brown evil mushroom guys. They don't even have hands. I
don't even how that's possible to how they even drive
a cart, but they will be playable characters as well.
And you can go against friends and local co op
and you can race against people kind of just free
(08:51):
roaming areas.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
The video presentation from Nintendo also showed a new version
of Metroid. There's also a new Donkey Kong game, Donkey
Kong Bonanza. You can use your strength as Donkey Kong
to break up the ground and look for a treasure.
(09:23):
There was also a new enhanced version of Kirby and
the Forgotten Land. You know, there's already a version out
for the switch but if you don't have it already,
might want to just hold off and buy this new
version for the switch too. So are you excited for
(09:47):
the Nintendo switch To? Will you be adding it to
your video game collection? Or will you be waiting? I
think a lot of us might end up waiting. Pre
Orders have been delayed because of the tariff situation, but
(10:16):
the switch to is set to come out in early June,
so cross your fingers and put an asterisk by that
date because we don't know how international shipping is going
to work nowadays with everything going on. In any case,
(10:36):
do you have a favorite Nintendo game? Hit me up
on Twitter at salwave aight O three. Of course, you
could always email me at more Phenomenal at gmail dot com.
(10:56):
We can discuss coming up next. More Giant about radio
right here on the Forecast Media podcast Network. What's going on, fam,
You're listening to Giant Robot Radio right here on the
Forecast Media podcast Network. Okay for the best in sports analysis,
(11:20):
check out Throw Up Tackle every week on pushplaypods dot com.
But for right now, I'm gonna give you my take
on the sporting world. Now. Aisha Howard took the lyric
from fifty I get money to heart, have a baby
(11:45):
by me, baby, be a millionaire. She has become a millionaire.
She got eighteen years worth of child sport payments up
front from Anthony Edwards because he is made no secret
that he wants nothing to do with her or the
(12:07):
child that he has had with her. He's going to
fulfill his financial responsibilities and give her custody of the
child that they have together. Now, that may keep you
out of hot water in the courts, but you better
(12:32):
hope you stay healthy because the second you get hurt,
the Timberwolves are going to let him ride. And I
don't know if anybody wants allowed and proud emotional deadbeat
(12:56):
to be connected to the brand, broadcast or endorsements. So
I hope he has a plan going forward. Now. College
Hoops has wrapped up the University of Florida. They are
national champions once again. They faced off against the University
(13:21):
of Houston, who was in the championship game for the
first time. Since nineteen eighty four. I think during one
of the games, Hakeem Olaja want to try to get
onto the floor and celebrate with the Houston Cougars players
(13:49):
and the staff, and they wouldn't let them. And the
security guard was doing his job. You know, they don't
allow people to come on to the court. They should
have had a little wink and nod to the security beforehand.
Because Hakeem olajuwon clearly the best player to come out
(14:16):
of that program. So congrats to the Cougars for a
hard fought season. They earned their number one seed. And
congratulations to Vie Florida Gators. I had them in the
final game just against Duke on the ladies' side, Yukon
(14:43):
coming up big for their twelfth championship. University of South
Carolina and made it to the final game but could
not get passed. Page Beckers got to call spade spade.
South Carolina got smoked eighty two fifty nine. But if
(15:07):
the worst game of the season is in the national
championship game, you're doing something right. Grima showing why he
is one of the greats in college hoops coaching, and
I have all the confidence that Don Staley and South
(15:32):
Carolina will be back in the mix next year. Now,
what the heck is going on in Denver? Denver fired
their coach, Michael Malone and the general manager, Calvin Booth.
(15:55):
Mind you, they're in the playoffs, not to play in,
but they have a secured fifth seed at least of
the time of recording. The Denver Nuggets just won their
(16:20):
first championship a few years back, so to fire the
coach in the GM that is responsible for that success
seems a little odd. But NBA got no love for
(16:44):
their people. You know, at the drop of a hat
you could be out of there. But in any case,
what is your take on all the on and off
the court action for hoops? Hit me up on Twitter
at Sandwave eight o three. Of course, you can always
email me at more Phenomenal at mwri phenomenal at gmail
(17:09):
dot com. We can discuss now. Normally this time of year,
my hometown of Augusta is in the headlines for Master's Week.
All the big time golfers come in and show off
their abilities, and a lot of the rich folks rub
(17:35):
elbows and reunite. There have been a few viral videos
of people fighting, though they have made the rounds, all
the airwebs. There was one fight at a club, and
there was one fight at a restaurant over a wrong order.
(18:00):
It's a little bit of a spring fever. The weather
has gotten a little nice to everybody's out and about
and tippers are starting to flare. So hopefully everybody will
calm down going forward. Now, there was another story about
(18:23):
a dad who got arrested. He was going on a
job interview and he didn't want to take the kids
with him, so he left the kids at the McDonald's.
But it was a little bit more to it than that.
(18:45):
The interview was around two two thirty and he didn't
go back by the restaurant till about sick something. There
has been a lot of discussion and a lot of
(19:07):
jokes going around. But here's the thing. Chris Lewis is
twenty four and he has three kids. That is a
whole another thing to unpack, but three kids, and he's
(19:34):
maybe not making the best co parenting decision because I'm
curious about where the mother is during this whole situation.
But he is trying to make his life better and
(19:56):
try to do right by the kids he has run
into the world. But kids that are ten six and
one cannot be at a restaurant unattended or any amount
(20:19):
of time. Like anything coulda happened to those kids, not
necessarily just kidnapping. They could have tripped and fell, could
have gotten sick, And it seems like guys a good dude,
(20:39):
that's just in a bad situation. And I hope that
once all the legal brew Haja has settled that he
can't get some resources, because I know it can be
very difficult to grow up in coming to your own
(21:05):
as far as manhood, and even more difficult when you've
got multiple little ones to look after. So hopefully he
can find something stable and figure out how to manage
his life with his children and the mother of his children.
(21:33):
