got his freestyle ready, so that'sgonna be at the end of the episode.
To keep an eye for that word. I'm not gonna have to bully
him on my Instagram story like fuckingSearcy walking through King's landing. Uh.

(00:27):
So, I wanted to share withyou this little video that that I saw.
This is, uh, this isI think an interesting place. Let's
start at the very beginning, avery good place to start. This is
gonna make you lose your head.So for the was listening in the podcast

(01:00):
and can't actually see this is saysthe woman who made cinnamon rolls out of
her yeast infection. Caught a YaSTinfection in the mouth or thrush and gave
it to her husband. That wasthe thing that happened this week. Yeah,
I've been hearing about this NonStop,and I think it needs to be
burned with the fire. It allneeds to be burned. But you doing

(01:26):
that shit on Valantine's Day, That'sgross. I don't know, it's that
just sounds to me like upper middleclass, you know, hippie white people.
Shit, I got an idea.If you want to do something adjacent
to that fucking Glowa Willie do that, don't don't make yeast from your own

(01:46):
east, then the make cinnamon bookbuns. Nah. Yeah, I'm saving
I'm probably gonna have to save thisthis video for next week's intro because we
are a little press her time thisthis episode. I'm fortunately, but that's
okay, something to make you pissyourself laughing. But regardless, a lot
of things happened to a lot ofthings have happened this week. I kind

(02:10):
of all over the place. Let'sactually start with yours, like, what
did you want to talk about?What? Like, what's something that happened
this week that you wanted to talkabout? I can, I can go
next. I'm debating. I'm debatingwhether or not we bring up the quadra
coon uh lady, or the fuckingor the whole discourse of the chick at

(02:32):
the Omalley concert really quick, Igot it. I want sach because you're
really gonna like this. Check outthe link I'm about to send you.
All right, bet, now,did you hear anything? Video game wise
recently anything important, not on theoff the top of my head. There's

(02:58):
just been a lot of dick suckingof hell divers too, which I really
want to play it. I mean, the game looks fucking nice. I'm
definitely gonna give it some time.Because even the dev was like, hey,
our server space does not have this. I heard about this. Yeah,
yeah, it's the Star Wars battleFront Classic Collection. Like this is

(03:20):
what motherfuckers have been white waiting forforever. Lots of munician days are overaper
is battle no retreat. It looksbetter no excuse no, I mean granted,
like there's only so much you cando with these models. Definitely fight

(03:43):
your way across the Star Wars galaxyin the classic battle Front games with massive
sixty four player online battles and splits, green local gameplay, fight with hero
the Odds, a battle with villains. Get for the Star Wars battle Front

(04:10):
Classic Collection, launching March fourteenth.Oh wow, that's right around the quarter.
So how so, so be honest, how many gallons of come came
out of your dick with at themoment you saw this trailer? Yo?
Battle fright is by ship the oG. I know you played the dog
Shit battle Front for hours. Fromwhat I remember, even though that game

(04:33):
was it was like it was likethe remake was whack and fit well.
Thankfully I played it when they alreadymade everything like pretty much free, Like
they didn't do the micro transactions anymorein the second one, so it was
okay, I mean it don't itdon't hold a candle compared to the games.
Yeah, and they're gonna they're addinglike slight features, nothing crazy,

(04:57):
just you know, heroes and villainson any map. They added venturists and
kit fisto, so like it's likesmall little quality of life things improvements.
I'm so fucking excited. I'm soexcited. I love these games. These
guys are Yeah, I don't reallyhave much to say on them. I'm
not a big PvP shooter kind ofguy. I'm a PV shooter like my

(05:19):
Borderlands, like my Doom. Youknow. That's well, for the majority
of this game, like back inthe og Xbox Stays, because that's what
I played it on. In PStwo, for the most part, it
was just offline. You just playedoffline, so like Galactic Conquest, Greatest

(05:40):
fucking mode ever. You just pickthe maps you want you go in and
you play every map that you chosein order of the way you chose it.
Like, it's just there's just somany quality of life things that are
nice in it from all the wayback then. That's why I'm like today,
why the fucker game's messing up onvery simple shit because the prioritizing monetization

(06:00):
over the fun. Well, like, I just want to know your opinion
on infinite wealth Yaku's like putting thenew game plus behind a paywall pretty much,
they put a new they put anew game Plus find a paywall trump.
Could you imagine if frum Soft didthat ship? Speaking of speaking of

(06:24):
just a complete tangent. Today,I just Meto told me about something called
crowd Control, which is a plugin slash application you can use to automatically
modier games and have people on likeyour live stream pay money or points or
whatever to basically fuck with you.And it's in And I did that an

(06:46):
el dinnering stream for three hours today. It was quite good. I was
very happy with it. Are youexcited for the DLC about it? Right?
Dog? I was skeaking so hardabout shadowing the ar tree. I
didn't fucking know there's a Nintendo Directthe same day. Uh yeah, yeah.
There was also Epic Mickey Is beingremastered and re released on the PS

(07:08):
five. Who cares, I know, I enjoyed that game, though.
I'm sorry you want if I wantedto play, if I wanted to play
Happy Dark Souls, I just play, go play Cuphead. No, that's
not Happy Cups Dark Souls. That'sthe fucking painting game that came out only
for the week. I thought itwas like a Dark Souls the type of
game. Nah, it's Mickey andos World and they like go around and

(07:30):
paint ship. So that was theonly gimmick, you know what I wish
would come to fucking PS PS five. Fucking Super Mario Galaxy. But put
that on your things up. No, never fucking happened. Don't you want
to switch? Yeah? But havethey not? They haven't re released fucking
Mario Galaxy. Yeah no that Yeah, that's the kind of the big thing

(07:54):
about Nintendo. It is morally okayto pirate their shit. It's not legally
okay, and you are them incrime. But like, if you do
end up doing it, you shouldn'tfeel any type of like remorse or bad
feelings. About it. Even ifyou're committing that crime, nothing you should.
But I am saying that if youdo our criminal and you do end
up doing it, there's no morethere's no more consequence of doing so it
is not a bad no because justbecause it's illegal doesn't mean it's not like

(08:18):
morally okay to do. Last littlething I want to say, saw the
Demon Slayer movie yesterday. It wasjust the first episode of the new season.
Fucking great. I mean the lasttwo seasons, the last season,
I will say, uh the uhSwordsmith Villy Dark not really that much action.
I get it what they were goingfor. This really wasn't that much

(08:39):
of that in the in the mangaeither. Yeah, this one, I
mean, we're starting to get tothe Infinity Castle Park and shit like that.
So we're almost there. But I'mgonna buck don't don't get attached to
any of these motherfuckers. Oh,I know who lives the dice, I
know who lives it dies. Yeah, but uh uh so, like what

(09:01):
level of drama you what do youwant to look here? I I oh
boy, okay, I'm gonna playyou a fucking video okay, and I'm
I have a black cat trying toget out of this room one second here,
you know, Yeah, honestly,I'm I'm I'm just hoping you don't

(09:26):
drop another fucking bomb on me,like the last episode where I found out
fucking Kevin Hart was playing Roland inBorderlands. Oh you want to watch a
Boryland trotter? No, you don'twant to hear Jack Black is clap trap.

(09:48):
It is just Jack Black. Like, don't get me wrong. They
put the filter on his voice,but yeah, is is he putting the
same kind of effort he put intoBowser or is he just like I'm just
getting to catch Jack. I feellike this is more just his voice with
a filter on it, Like Imean, but it's still Jack Flag.
So yeah, I don't know.I didn't like the vibe of the trailer,

(10:11):
as you can tell. Yeah,I just here. I'm gonna show
you a video. Okay, Isaw this. You saw this one?
Who is three fourths Massa and onequarter coom Obama is a Mulatto. That's

(10:37):
the one drop rule fades through theAmerican conscience And maybe my story is just
a little too honest. I don'ty'all heard that, right? I don't
need like I I I don't.I'm a feminist, right, What is

(11:03):
it about TikTok trends in the lastweek and a half that have just been
setting women's rights back tom after timeafter time? Because this isn't the only
one. I don't. I knowyou saw this? Did you see this?

(11:24):
Ship? But now, oh,my brother in christ Omali pulled a
babe from the crowd and she stolethe shows as he sings Bend You,
they donned the curtain, the closecurtains, who wait and she and he

(11:52):
like, she sticks this her tonguedown his throat, like yeah, so
mean, Mitchell, that's her man. His sister said they were together for

(12:24):
seven years, just like the wifefrom True Detectives. She's for the streets.
I just want to know what itis about the TikTok algorithm that is
fortraying women in like the worst fuckinglight in the last week and a half.

(12:45):
What the actual fuck? I don'tknow. I think it's just an
exaggerated thing and it just gets sentto our fucking algorithms because I'm want to
bet. I won't to bet ifyou would have brought medal one or if
I go grab Noelia and ask herif she's seen the first video, probably
because it's like viral, No,that was viral viral. Yeah, second

(13:07):
video or any of the other likesame vibe videos won'ta bet they're gonna say,
we haven't seen anything like this.So I think they're just you know,
targeting people to be like, hey, hey, let's create a little
bit of this divide woo, asif race is in an already fucking divisive
thing. Yeah, obviously, andhonestly, like I saw a guy that

(13:30):
basically guy basically say like this,like like like here's here's the thing,
right. I support women's wrongs andwomen's rights. I just also know that
like the worst fucking men on theplanet are going to have like the worst
fucking discord for the next three weeksover this ship, without a doubt.
I mean, that's that's a flickablewall over though, because there's always people

(13:52):
just lying in wait to see theworst example of a demographic. Yeah,
that's true. Then they're I thinkthey're gonnaupdate hell divers to at Xbox Sport.
I don't know, man, butthis is the first time I've seen
fucking the console wars actually try toinclude each other instead of going after each
other. Justice from Velope Creek.We need our Halo fucking coatriots, We

(14:18):
need that nah big facts now,because it's because every other just real quick,
every other time. If you wereif we were talking about Gears of
War and we were talking about theprospect of PlayStation players going over to Gears
of War or going over to Haloprior to Infinite because I know it's free

(14:39):
to play, fucking just imagine,just imagine people would be. I mean,
look, two weeks ago when itwas coming out that Starfield could possibly
be coming to fucking PS five,people were like, why the fuck did
I get on Xbox? Then everybodysaid it was exclusives only, and that
kind of makes me feel like Underscrollsix probably gonna be on all consoles.

(15:01):
Well, well, here's the thing, right, it's because like Xbox and
PlayStation don't make their money off thePlayStation. They make their money off of
the fucking games that are that areoff of being platform holders and having stores
people buy games through. And I'mso happy about one thing. What's up?

(15:24):
Uh? Microsoft is only at likean eight percent profit margin, thankfully,
which means that game pass as coolas the idea is probably isn't the
most profitable fucking thing ever, Sono, I just it's a monopolistic goal
of it. They want to sortof like corner the market with it,
and they're not because other places alsooffer this type of streaming as service for

(15:50):
games. Here's my thing. IfI want to play a game, and
I want a game badly enough,I'm gonna buy it on Steam. Yeah
that's a thing. Or I'm gonnanothing Like when I buy a game on
Steam, even though it's still adigital good, I feel like I own
it because Valve, you know,has done a good job of being a
steward of PC gaming. So reallyquick, So, if let's say you

(16:15):
were the head of Xbox right right, and you are aware of the fact
that most people have they're in thedigital age of twenty fourteen to twenty nineteen
PS four, Xbox one, PCright right. You're aware as a head
over at Microsoft that most people startedtheir digital collection on PlayStation or PC PC

(16:41):
first then PlayStation right, What doyou do in this generation of consoles to
attract people to come over to yourconsole outside of exclusivity, I really don't
know. Well, so what youdo is is you meique it cheaper to

(17:02):
move to Xbox, and you makeit easier to have your games crossover between
PC and Xbox, because that's whatthat's that's what it is. Game Pass
offers you a bunch of fucking gamesyou can play on PC or Xbox,
and then the save files of whichare transferred between the two. I have

(17:23):
lies of P on my on myXbox on Xbox game Pass, and I
play it exclusively on Xbox game Pass, and I can play it on my
computer or on my Xbox in thebedroom. And so it allows me to
be able to play games that Iwant to play without having like without like

(17:48):
if I want to play at mydesk, can play with desk, but
I want to play on the couchand play on the couch and there's no
no, and it's just a seamlessexperience. And so what happened? What
you can't do that with PlayStation PlayStationsare more expensive, they don't transfer your
progress. It's they're notoriously awful tohave cross save and cross play compatibility with.

(18:11):
Meanwhile, many games, multiplayer gamesespecially do have cross play between their
Steam variants and Xbox. And ifyou're playing on PC anyways, you're still
in the Xbox poor regardless, soit doesn't matter. That's how you get
get them over a chiep. TheXbox one S costs the same price as

(18:33):
a Nintendo Switch. Think like shitright, Like, the Nintendo Switch is
the cheapest console on the market.I thought it was. I thought it
was one hundred bucks. Score,No, that's that spot. The Xbox
one S it's two fifty. Nowit's three less. I checks was three

(18:56):
hundred. Yeah, and the Nintendoswitches three hundred as well. Bill that
ship is still a three hundred.The Nintendo products hold their value. They
do not stop holding their value,even even in after market sales. They
still hold their value remarkably. Likeyou can get it. You can get

(19:22):
a used Nintendo Switch for two fifty, But if you want a new Nintendo
Switch or a new Xbox both mbissare going to be three hundred dollars.
That console is not where to fit, let alone three this switch, the
switch. I'm just saying, likequality, No, I will say this
no, No, here's the thing. The Nintendo Switch at three hundred dollars

(19:45):
is a great price. Compare likethe reason why the like that's a perfectly
fine price for it for a solidconsole for with a great family of games
and great port of is. Ithink it's a perfectly it's perfectly fine priced
at three hundred dollars. No morethan that, though, I will the
reason. But the fact that Xboxprice their one s at three hundred means

(20:10):
that they're taking a huge cut ofprofits to be able to get it in
front of more people, which ifyou pair that with like the obvious guaranteed
game Pass subscription everybody's gonna get becausewhy the fuck wouldn't you get a game
pass description with an Xbox means thatthey're mayble after a few months they're able
to make up the difference in itof loss on that Xbox that is purchased.

(20:37):
Yeah, I mean, I hearyou. I'm just saying something that
releads back into twenty seventeen should notbe the same price that I released at.
That's right, But you have toremember that, like the market doesn't
treat treat Nintendo as a competitor toXbox at Sony. There we go.
That's exactly why I'm saying what I'msaying. If they did, three hundred

(21:00):
would have been blown out of thewater today. That's what I'm saying like
you're like, I will say,though, the types of games you can
get on the switch, you know, in the in the pool of games
are are usually wholly different from anythingavailable on any other platform. So to
me, can Battlefronts come into theSwitch? I gotta Probably The thing is

(21:22):
that a lot of the Nintendo OldGuard have started dying off because they're all
old age, so like they're gettingso they're becoming more open to like third
party shit because of that nature,and they should because I'll be honest,
not the Switch currently that we have, but maybe the switch too can actually
handle, like, you know,Triple A releases. Honestly, my thing

(21:45):
is is that I don't necessarily wantthe Switch to handle Triple A releases.
Like if I want like a power, like a strong, powerful console to
play games and shit on, Ihave a PC. Disagree with you,
and let me tell you why.For the people go ahead, go ahead,
go ahead. Just just for thepeople who are in the console space

(22:07):
who can't reliably get more than onething, I think you should have access
to as many games as possible onany singular device. That's why PC is
obviously best at accessing things. Butregardless of what it is, at least
for Triple A releases. I'm nottalking about indie fucking titles that maybe you'll

(22:27):
get it, maybe you won't,but it's definitely gonna be on Steam.
I'm saying, like, you know, fucking you should be able to get
the Mortal Kombat game, Street Fightergame Tech and game Call of Duty whatever
the fuck spend sixty seventy dollars andit not be a broken, buggy,
you know, fucking mess in termsof game mechanics. Well, and I

(22:48):
know that's not the switches faut Iknow, but also like you have to
remember though, like most Nintendo productsaren't buggy broken things at release, Like
yeah, but those are Nintendo Directreleases, Like well, that's that's the
whole that's the whole reason to geta switch. I don't get a switch

(23:10):
to play third parties. I geta switch to play first party Nintendo games
that I care about, Like Igot the Nintendo Switch to play fucking Pokemon.
It is. It is fair,though, to say that, especially
now it becomes increasingly rarer to haveeven two different gaming devices. You and

(23:36):
me are in the fucking what's it, god, you know exactly? Most
people have one, maybe two especiallynow. But if but here's the thing
of people who have two they willhave insert gaming meeting here and a switch.

(23:56):
They will have both. People willbuy a PlayStation and a switch,
an Xbox and a switch, havea PC and a switch. It is
are the people the types of peoplethat only get a switch are people that
only like playing Nintendo games, orchildren, or people who just really cannot

(24:18):
afford, you know, more thanone console in at like every five years,
which is like, yeah, there'slike like if Nintendo, if Nintendo
can release a technically advanced game onthe switch, then explain to me what
the detriment is if gaming developers focusedon a separate switch port that was at

(24:45):
the same quality of a Nintendo game. Japanese weird Japanese culture around ownership and
in preservation of company identity and brand, this all should fuck them in the
ass. That I'm just saying,like, every every time that I find

(25:08):
out more about Nintendo's business practices,I am I'm always like, how are
they still in business? They makegames that are emotionally rewarding across multiple generations
of people, but and then ontheir consoles, everybody else just gets fucked
that that's exactly what I'm talking about, because you imagine if you got because

(25:32):
yes, today it's it's like it'slike Steve jobs Walled Garden. Literally,
because today I get it. Everybodyhas, whether it be a switch and
a PC or PS four, PSfive, Xbox whatever. Right, what
about the days when it was placed, when it was PlayStation one, GameCube,
PlayStation two, Xbox, Xbox three, sixty PS three, You have

(25:56):
the Wii. What are you talkingto me about? Don't get me wrong,
they were great exclusive games on theshit, but outside of exclusive games,
I don't know how that's three generationsago. When I say generations,
I mean generations of people, andwhen I say generations, I'm talking about
gaming generations. Right, right,fair enough? Right. You also have

(26:18):
to remember that the Wei was thebest selling console, which is insanity.
No, it's PlayStation two. Thenwe you're almost right, But it was
a great selling console because again beatout Sony an Xbox by a country fucking
mile, without a doubt, becauseof the gimmick. And then we tried
to do it again with the Wiu, a new gimmick. Instead of fitness,

(26:41):
you're just gonna sit down with atablet in the hands and people really
didn't like that one because they didn'tmarket it well. They didn't market it
well, and the dual screen thingworked better with the DS because the screens
were right next to each other.It was less awkward. Don't get me
wrong, gave the the pathway forthe switch. If they didn't have the

(27:03):
WEU, they would have never hadthe switch. But which which, to
be fair, I think the Switchis probably one of the best consoles I've
ever owned and played played on justby virtue of like what it is,
do I win? But it becauselike it really does go to show that
like graphics don't matter so long asyou make a good fucking game. Well.
Also, it shows that people wantto stream or people want to be

(27:26):
able to play their games at atany point. That's why Nintendo was so
successful. Only the reason why Nintendowas so successful is fucking handheld gaming.
They've always been the frontrunner for thatfucking and so and so. Now they
can charge for a full priced consolefor a hand for a handheld device,

(27:48):
and that's why it's a good businessidea. But then to turn around the
because then they're not losing money then, and then they're not losing money on
having to support two separate consoles andtwo separate versions of games and all that
shit. But then they turn aroundand they destroy part of their marketplace with
taking ship off of virtual console.And it's like you, that is,

(28:10):
and we've talked about this before,that is less to do I think with
like, I think that just hasmore to do with like Nintendo viewing their
software as like toys that they arejust like discontinuing. They don't view them
as like things that deserve to likematter and be preserved as art. They
don't view their they don't do theirgames as art. They do their games

(28:32):
as toys. So funny they identifyas a toy making company because one of
the biggest resale markets is fucking toys, discontinued toys. But on that note,
though, we are coming to aclose, So let's get started with
your freestyle if you would be so, let's do it. I'm gonna send

(28:56):
you the should I send you thelink? How should we do this?
Just uh? Send, just send, Just send me. Just send me
the link to the music and I'llplay it and then you just go hm
when you want cool sounds, perfsend it to you over Instagram. The
alternative is you share your screen anddo it on your end. I trust

(29:18):

right. Three all right, ladiesand gentlemen. Just for those who are
unaware, we I told Brian thatI want he wanted. Brian told me

Brian's business. I don't miss abeat or take a breath. I'll display
my skills on any test. Thenfuck it. I won't be satisfied until
Kendrick or Cole is coming out myneck. And that's on. God,
I must confess. If I playmy cards, they can't touch my deck.
They don't wish me luck, butthis ain't nothing. That feeling like
