Welcome to your go-to source for entertainment. Wait for it Gaming. Wait for it Anime.
Speaker 2:
0:08
PLUS ULTRA.
Speaker 1:
0:11
Mr Eric Almighty and Phil the Filipino. Yeah, they've got you covered, and all you gotta do is wait for it. This is the Wait For it Podcast.
Speaker 3:
0:35
Hey everyone, welcome back to the Wait For it Podcast. I am your co-host, phil Smith, aka Phil the Filipino, and joining me, as always, is your other co-host, mr Eric Almighty. And Eric, it is that time again. It is the bonus episode for April 2024. And, just like all of our other series that we committed to and said you know, this is going to be the core of the WayForward podcast. What did I miss in this new iteration has just been so much fun, and we literally just take it as an opportunity to hang out with our friends, talk about some pop culture stuff and then ultimately play a game that gets everybody angry at me for. So that is going to be no different today, and I'm excited to have some of our oldest podcasting friends here today. Join us, eric, and I think it's, and I know it's going to be a blast.
Speaker 4:
1:19
Yeah, and getting to obviously look back at the month of April, everything that happens. Phil, when we did this the first time, we realized very quickly we never run out of content with this particular series. There's always something going on by the time this episode releases. We probably missed like the biggest news in the world. So it's always something that you can reference back to. And I'm very excited to introduce our guests, we haveay and eli from super bracket bros. Uh, you probably never heard of them. If you've heard our podcast, we never talk about them. So jay eli, welcome in. And are you guys ready to reminisce on the month of april?
Speaker 5:
1:59
oh yeah, april, classically, is my favorite month of all time, of course, so I'm more than happy to come on it all lined up perfectly yeah, yeah yeah, absolutely, eli.
Speaker 3:
2:15
Are you doing excited to uh to not only reminisce but also uh play this amazing game that I put a lot of work into that I think you might do very well in I am am beyond excited.
Speaker 1:
2:25
Honestly, I'm just going to go silent for the entire whole episode until we start doing the game.
Speaker 3:
2:30
So it was good seeing everybody. I hope you enjoy this. I'll see you guys in a bit. Didn't even bring a story, just wait for.
Speaker 5:
2:37
Jeffney Phil, I did just want to say that I do relate to you creating a game for your podcasting friends, then putting it on a podcast and then them all hating it and having a terrible time.
Speaker 3:
2:52
So I just want to let you know, I feel you. Eric did that to me earlier today, where he completely one-sided a game that we played.
Speaker 4:
2:59
I called it down the middle.
Speaker 3:
3:02
He definitely did not, and you can listen to that episode right now because it's out this past Wednesday where. I feel like the Russian judge had a fix in, or actually John T Porter had some budding in. And he won himself like $1.1 million off of draft games or something, because that's how. I felt Incredible. Definitely take the under. Whenever I play a game that Eric has put together, bet the under on me. I'm just going to let you guys know. Right now the fix is in.
Speaker 1:
3:35
You're just really bad at games. You're going to get contact by the podcast commissioner. Yeah, exactly, the gaming commissioner, the podcast gaming commissioner of buzzsprout, the buzzsprout gaming.
Speaker 5:
3:50
The podcast gambling controversy of 24 24 yeah, I know what you're going to talk about. In the may edition, phil gets banned from podcasting period.
Speaker 3:
4:02
You, you guys, start to guess what the categories are going to be for Jeopardy in May. That's what the big line is. That's what it's going to be.
Speaker 1:
4:11
I gave Phil $100 to just have Lighthouse questions.
Speaker 3:
4:18
How many Lighthouse puns can I come up with for categories for Jeopardy?
Speaker 2:
4:25
I'll take.
Speaker 1:
4:25
Hark for 500.
Speaker 2:
4:26
The answer is Hark for all five.
Speaker 5:
4:35
There's just a different amount of exclamation points. You do have to say Hark at the right exclamation point tenor to be able to get the points. I think that's it. Tone was a little soft there, Eric. I'm going to have.
Speaker 3:
4:44
Hark at the right exclamation point tenor to be able to get the points.
Speaker 2:
4:45
I think that's it, tone was a little soft there, Eric.
Speaker 3:
4:48
I'm going to have to deduct you $300.
Speaker 1:
4:51
You didn't begin the answer with Hark oh boy.
Speaker 3:
4:57
Well, gives you guys an idea of how this is going to go this evening.
Speaker 3:
5:02
It's going to be a lot of fun. But if, for some reason, you have never heard of super bracket bros, jay, you guys just wrapped up your most ambitious season yet and you know. That's why I wanted to give you some time to step away from podcasting for a bit before bringing you back in here, because what you guys did was an you know was an incredible undertaking, and we were. We had a lot of fun doing it and learning Eric, I think maybe irritated people a little bit more than I did, because I was the one and done, but I want you to reminisce and talk about the most recent season, about how that goes, and then maybe what's in the future for Super Racket Bros as well.
Speaker 5:
5:39
Sure thing. So Super Racket Bros, season 6, so normally our podcasts we talk about fictional characters from different universes fighting each other and we talk about what would happen should they meet. But this season we decided to switch things up. We turned all our characters into player, into character sheets. So, and Phil and Eric were both on the season, and Phil and Eric were both on the season, they got to man characters that we made sheets for in a system called the General Universal Roleplaying System, aka GURPS, and it was 1v1 battles against other content creators in our sphere of content creation. It was a lot of fun. We did the whole bracket, the whole thing's recorded. I was a lot of fun, we did it. We did the whole bracket, the whole thing's recorded. I'm halfway through editing it.
Speaker 5:
6:29
The death of Super Raccoon Rose, season 6 has been greatly exaggerated. It is still being produced, just at a slower rate. I burned myself out a little bit making Season 6. We're taking our time with the edits now. So we're halfway through Season 6. The next episode that's going to come out will feature Emily Bateman and Benjamin from Apple Chat, and then the one after that will feature Mr Eric Almighty himself and Andrew from your Friendly Neighborhood Gamers, and so it's been a lot of fun to put together. It's been a lot of work to put together, but I'm happy to have had you guys on. If that's something that you're interested in, now's a great time to catch up on the first four episodes of Season 6 before I finally get around to editing the rest of it.
Speaker 4:
7:17
And listen. No spoilers, but I do want it to be known. The tagline for the episode I'm on. I believe you guys were calling it the greatest upset in Super Bracket Bros history.
Speaker 5:
7:30
So just interesting. What is that? I don't think Did that originate with us, Eli? I don't know.
Speaker 1:
7:36
I think someone else might have uttered that first, I see Eric has his phone out and it's Venmoing you $20 right now.
Speaker 4:
7:45
I keep sending it and it literally just happens no responses.
Speaker 3:
7:50
Send hundreds of dollars at this point.
Speaker 5:
7:53
And the comment just says motto question mark Motto question mark please, please, please, but yes, no. Well, iic, um, which a lauded movie on the way for a podcast, eric is portraying uh, puss and boots himself um on the on the show, which has been um every bit spectacular, as you can imagine, um. So please, uh, definitely, tune in for Eric's episode. His first episode against Nose Gay from Demon Slayer was some of the best podcasting I've ever been a part of. So definitely, please.
Speaker 4:
8:36
The longest episode in Super Bracket Bros history.
Speaker 2:
8:39
I'm just breaking records over there and Phil can't get away breaking records over there and Phil can't get away.
Speaker 3:
8:45
And then but you say that, but you drove Jay to take an extended break. I just want to let you know Honestly I was.
Speaker 4:
8:53
I was silently reflecting that I did break the holiday special and then I did possibly. So I do feel if I'm not invited on, I do feel like that might be warranted. Also, I do believe I have the most guest spots currently on Super Bracket Bros. So again, a lot of records broken, but I may never be on there again. So it's kind of a double-edged sword.
Speaker 3:
9:18
In my episode my character just took the most amount of abuse not related to my opponent ever.
Speaker 5:
9:24
Yeah, yeah, no, just took the most amount of abuse not related to my opponent ever so, yeah, yeah, no, um, yeah, shoto uh totoroki, uh had a, had a rough go of it.
Speaker 3:
9:32
Um, to say the least.
Speaker 1:
9:34
Childhood rough season six yeah, I will say though my favorite part that, uh that I contributed to was playing Endeavor.
Speaker 2:
9:42
your dad, that was amazing.
Speaker 5:
9:49
If we go back, it will just be the Endeavor and Todoroki GURP show on Super Packet Bros.
Speaker 4:
9:55
With an occasional Jinji and no Titan.
Speaker 2:
9:59
No Titan at all.
Speaker 1:
10:02
You want to know what that inside joke means?
Speaker 3:
10:03
Hey, just do it in the super record all of that will be in the show notes of this episode you can find everything that you need. So, uh, but yeah, jay, like you said is, you know it's still uh, still ongoing, but again, uh, putting all that work together. Man, as podcasters ourselves, we know how much that takes. Uh, except for eli, which is like the uh, he's's the the meme where it's like not to remember I used to be. He's just like driving down the road, like having a good time. We're over here.
Speaker 4:
10:37
I am just wiping sweat. It's like, oh my God.
Speaker 2:
10:41
No, no, I'm definitely a tuxedo.
Speaker 1:
10:44
Tuxedo mask from sailor moon like I've saved the day, but you've done nothing and
Speaker 3:
10:49
I'm away no, eli's got the, he's got the sweet role man, he's got podcast husband roll down, he's podcast trophy husband, there you go Doing great buddy yeah that's going to be for sure.
Speaker 5:
11:08
Season seven intro I think.
Speaker 3:
11:10
There you go. That sounds good. You can have that for free. So generous, so generous.
Speaker 1:
11:15
I was going to write that down to my titles.
Speaker 3:
11:17
I'll send you the Venmo request. Send me that $20 Eric just sent you.
Speaker 1:
11:21
Jake's just raking up that IP.
Speaker 3:
11:27
Oh boy, jake's just raking up that IP, oh boy. But the purpose of this episode, 15 minutes in, is we talk about pop culture stories from the previous month, which we're going to do, and, eric, in order to decide the order in which we talk about these pop culture stories, something very important must happen, and I'll let you go over that with our guests, as well as any of the listeners and or viewers. I'm saying this a little bit late in the episode. I always forget to say in the beginning. This is while it is on audio form, obviously on Spotify, apple podcast, whatever. This is definitely one of the best episodes to watch on our YouTube page, just because of all the stuff that we share video wise and because of the game. But do that with whatever you will, but, eric, please let our guests know how the most important part of this episode goes yes, well, again we.
Speaker 4:
12:14
The aforementioned destruction of the holiday special did happen with a wheel, but that was a real wheel. This time we have a virtual wheel and that wheel will have all of our.
Speaker 4:
12:25
I mean, I can get the actual wheel, Don't do that, Don't do that. But it will have all of our names on it and we will count down. We'll do three, two, one and in that same cadence, we will then say spin that wheel. Now, why am I giving you these instructions? Well, because every single episode it is a struggle. It is a struggle, but I am confident that the two of you remember how the holiday special went down.
Speaker 4:
12:55
And I think we're going to do really well. I know you guys are buying into it, so that's really also important.
Speaker 3:
13:01
One of them is no.
Speaker 4:
13:04
You both look enthusiastic.
Speaker 3:
13:08
I don't know about that.
Speaker 5:
13:08
Well, you see, last time you ruined my life with that wheel, and now I'm going to ruin your life with that wheel.
Speaker 4:
13:13
What do you mean I have to edit it? What about me? How can you ruin a life with a wheel? A wheel makes everything better. Alright, you ready, phil, let's do this. Now are you going to share your sound? Everything better. All right, you ready, phil, let's do this. Now, are you going to share your sound this time? No, okay, cool.
Speaker 3:
13:32
It is not sharing this time around, at least I think I unclicked it. Now you have me second guessing. No, it's okay, we're just going to go with it.
Speaker 4:
13:40
So if you guys hear a loud applause in your ears, apologies, but here we go, all right. All right, you guys ready. Yeah, so I say three two, one right, no no, three two one. Spin. No wait, no, no, no, we're not there yet.
Speaker 1:
13:58
Oh.
Speaker 5:
14:00
Eli said it though.
Speaker 4:
14:01
No, I know, you're both, you're both.
Speaker 5:
14:04
You're both like he hopped on before me so I thought maybe he was actually I got excited, I got excited, start over. Start over.
Speaker 2:
14:09
I got excited yeah.
Speaker 4:
14:12
So we're going to just count down. I'm going to count down Three, two, one. You guys are going to be silent during this time, by the way, so I'm being more specific, I'm trying my best.
Speaker 5:
14:29
You're very upset about it and I don't think you should be. I'm having to be a little microaggressive here?
Speaker 4:
14:36
Yes, I don't, I know. So you guys are going to stay silent and I'm going to count down three, two, one, and after I say one. We will then collectively, as a unit, as a Super Bracket Bros universe, say in that same cadence spin that wheel, spin the wheel. Okay, that wheel, not the wheel.
Speaker 2:
15:03
What did?
Speaker 4:
15:03
I say you said the oh okay, sorry, you got to spin that wheel, not the wheel. What did I say? You said the oh okay, you gotta spin that wheel.
Speaker 3:
15:09
You know what's funny is like this is my thing, but Eric has the most amount of work when it comes to this, and this is the longest explanation I put together. I put together Jeopardy and then I'm like, alright.
Speaker 4:
15:24
I'm gonna make a commitment to create a clip that we just play on future episodes. Yeah, please watch this presentation. Hey everybody, Welcome to the Laker Podcast. Here's the instructions for the wheel.
Speaker 3:
15:35
Like we're in a queue for a fucking universal line.
Speaker 5:
15:39
I'm standing at the gas station pumping my gas and an ad pops up.
Speaker 2:
15:43
It's Eric telling me how to spin the wheel.
Speaker 3:
15:47
Don't forget to use your Shell Rewards card. And this is how you spin the wheel, alright?
Speaker 4:
15:54
We're going to do this, and then we're going to get to our first story. We're going to count down Three, two, one.
Speaker 2:
16:08
Spin that, spin that wheel.
Speaker 3:
16:10
It's fine, can you guys hear the wheel or no?
Speaker 5:
16:12
No we're good, we're good. I think we should probably run it back. We couldn't hear it.
Speaker 3:
16:18
Well, they're going to have more opportunities, so it's okay, okay.
Speaker 4:
16:22
It's probably for the best.
Speaker 3:
16:25
All right, Eli, you were first. What did we miss in April 2024?
Speaker 1:
16:30
Yeah, so I've been on a music listening binge. I'm catching up with a lot of albums from this year and previous year, and one of the albums I missed out on came out technically last month, in March, and it is probably the biggest album in the world currently. But I am what you might call a hipster, an annoying hipster who doesn't listen to a lot of pop music. But I finally sat down and listened to this. It was wonderful. It's Beyonce, cowboy Carter. I sat down and listened to this hour and 15 minute or 17 minute, whatever album. Okay, like I'm joking, it's a really great album, but it did not need to be that long. Like Beyonce, please, next time I don't need something this massive. But yeah, no, I sat down and listened to it. Completely is massive. But, but yeah, no, I, I sat down and listened to it. Uh, completely, I, I was keeping tracks of. I was keeping track of it because obviously the big story is Beyonce's doing country and I thought that was kind of gimmicky, so I kind of brushed it off. But when the album came out, I just remember seeing, you know, all the big music publications saying how awesome it is and then seeing, like, all the like indie, like the hipster forums. I go to also saying that it was incredible. So I was like, okay, I have to see what all the buzz is about. And yeah, I sat down and listened to it and it's as good as advertised. It was wonderful.
Speaker 1:
17:57
She does such an incredible job of blending. I mean, it is ostensibly a country album but there's just so much to it. There's so much like hip hop, even like subcategories, like trap, that gets incorporated in it. There's blues, funk, just like even like opera music at one point, and it all just blends so well together that it really is. It is a wonderful listening experience, even though I kind of like give it crap for being so long. It does almost feel like an odyssey, like you're going through beyonce's like journey, which, uh, both within the actual album but also like in terms of meta narrative, because this is the part two of a trilogy, the first album being uh renaissance, which came out, I think, last year, uh, which I need to go listen to. So now I need to get caught up on the narrative.
Speaker 1:
18:47
But yeah, I don't know if you guys have given it a listen to, but I loved it. I thought it was incredible and it was such a treat seeing, you know, dolly Parton on it and Willie Nelson has a few skits, you know but also learning about other black women in country music that Beyonce sort of shouts out like Linda Martel, uh, who was the, I believe, the first black woman to ever open for the Grand Ole Opry, which was something I didn't know about, which I should have known about, and I'm happy Beyonce was able to use her platform to teach that. So, yeah, I I listen, I loved it, I thought it was great. Um, yeah, I got like I could, I could, I could do a whole like dissertation on it, but I I I could do a whole dissertation on it, but I won't bore you guys with that.
Speaker 3:
19:27
No well, one thing Beyonce does not do is half-ass anything, and I know when the initial song came out. Obviously there's going to be detractors for the lame reason there's going to be a crossover into a genre of music that has come from all different types of people in terms of background, and I have never really been the biggest Beyonce fan because I don't necessarily consider myself. I think, kind of like you, eli wasn't really her demographic, but whenever I come across a Beyonce project I always know that she's going to put her all into it. And I haven't listened to all of this, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that it is 25 tracks in an hour, 27 tracks and an over almost an hour and a half long. But what I've come across I very much enjoy. My sister played Daughter in the car like a couple of weeks ago. I was like this is a great song. This is really really good. Obviously, whenever you see Dolly Parton, our president, show up in anything, it's going to be good.
Speaker 1:
20:25
My jaw dropped when I listened to Beyonce's cover of Jolene, because the original song is Dolly Parton pleading to Jolene to not steal her man. Beyonce takes her version and says it's on site, Jolene.
Speaker 2:
20:37
I dare you.
Speaker 3:
20:38
Jolene.
Speaker 1:
20:40
We're going to fight Jolene, which is so awesome. I love that. Beyonce did her own thing with that. But my favorite cover was the second song, which was the Blackbird cover, which is one of my favorite Beatles songs. I like jumped out of my chair. I was just like holy shit and she did a great arrangement of that. And there's all, just all these little like so many like interpolations and like 16 carriages as a reference to 16 tons, a famous old country song. These boots were made for walking sample thrown in there. There was so many other ones that Good Vibrations by Beach Boys was in there. I was doing the Leonardo DiCaprio meme of pointing it's just like. I know that. I know that and, like you said, Beyonce didn't half-ass anything. She went all in and I thought that was awesome. I thought this album was great. It definitely deserves all the flowers it's been getting.
Speaker 5:
21:33
Yeah, definitely put a lot of work into it, Jay have you gotten around to any Cowboy Carter in your rotation? No, eli told me he was going to talk about this a week ago and I still did not prepare. So yeah, this has not entered my rotation.
Speaker 4:
21:50
My rotation staunchly remained the Guardians of the Galaxy playlist, which is the only thing I listen to so, jay, you're telling me your story for this month was not the Taylor Swift album that just came out?
Speaker 5:
22:06
No, no, I can assure you that I could probably do some research real quick. I'm good at BSing, so I could probably.
Speaker 4:
22:18
Can you tell me what these lyrics meant? What boyfriend was she talking about?
Speaker 3:
22:21
Which one of these is Travis Kelsey? Which one is she not talking about? Probably all of them. Yeah, thank, you.
Speaker 2:
22:27
Phil, for your valuable insight.
Speaker 3:
22:28
Yeah, I appreciate that I got you.
Speaker 5:
22:30
Yeah, exactly, we're just I mean mind-melding here. Basically anything Phil says about it, I agree. So yeah, Just take his word for it.
Speaker 3:
22:39
We actually collaborated on my response, so consider also jay's response thank you, yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 2:
22:44
I wasn't gonna say anything because I didn't want to take away from your response.
Speaker 3:
22:48
Yeah, yeah here you go, eric. Obviously calbert carter has showed up on the uh playlist over the last few weeks, so do you have any standout tracks? And again, what is your kind of level of fandom when it comes to beyonce? Because I find myself like, again, I don't necessarily go out of my way to listen to Beyonce, but if somebody gave me tickets to like a Beyonce show, I am there. I want to see that spectacle. I want to see everything that she does when it comes to putting on a show. But, again, I'm not actively seeking out her music. But Cowboy Carter has crossed over into a genre of music with country that we are fans of.
Speaker 4:
23:20
So no, 100%. I assumed you really liked the song, jolene, because for two weeks straight you put that on the playlist. I don't think you meant to do that, but you know, there it is.
Speaker 3:
23:29
I told you, you either get volume of songs or you get me paying attention. You do not get both. I'll give you one or the other.
Speaker 1:
23:38
Maybe Phil was sending you a message, eric, yeah, maybe I was telling him it was going to work.
Speaker 4:
23:42
I was like all right, it's on site.
Speaker 3:
23:44
It was the Beyonce version. Are you sure I didn't do the Dolly Parton version? You did both twice, to be fair. Excellent song.
Speaker 4:
23:53
Excellent song. I was like he really likes that Jolene song.
Speaker 3:
23:58
I've never heard him talk about that song. I have started thinking about putting maybe one song in there every single week. I don't know what that song would be, but I have thought about doing that.
Speaker 4:
24:06
I'd rather you're not. I haven't listened to the whole album, but I have listened to Bits and Pieces, just like you. Beyonce is not an artist that I like actively listen to their whole album. I'm just not Same thing with Taylor Swift. I'm just not in that realm of like, oh my God, new album dropped. I've got to listen to the whole thing.
Speaker 4:
24:27
But I really appreciate the efforts and, like you mentioned, phil, it's not half-assed and for the most part, trying to weed through the hate which is always going to happen. It sounds like it's being received pretty well and I really like that big artist like Beyonce. And I think the side of the coin that I fall on is Post Malone. I love Post Malone and he's about to be in this country aspect as well with some work he's doing. I'm super excited to see what he brings to the table and between the two of them those are two big stars, phil. I think we just appreciate that country is getting some love because it gets shit on all the time, but it's a genre of music that I think we both really appreciate and especially this new-gen country I think we like as well.
Speaker 3:
25:11
Yeah, I mean, some of the most fun concerts I've been to are country. So I think the thing with country and and Eli, maybe you have more a better understanding of of the ins and outs of of the music in general is that country gets a lot of heat because it has been, it's called, the easiest genre of music to participate in. If you think that's true, as far as singing.
Speaker 3:
25:31
I don't know if it's singing, I don't know if it's instruments, I don't know what it is a rap, because you know I could sing a country album now well, I was watching a youtube video talking about like, what is country music, and a guy said that it really doesn't matter what instruments you use.
Speaker 1:
25:46
I mean there's obviously the, the, you know guitars and everything. But he said the most important part about country, like in the in the most original sense, is the storytelling element of it, just the personal nature of it. Like, if you go listen to like 1940s country, it's all just ballads about stories of outlaws, of loss and like a lot of old country is like super sad and forlorn, but that's. I mean, that was the, it was growth from people just struggling and the music was the way for them to communicate that and to express their feelings. So, yeah, whenever I see country being super machismo, it's kind of like it's not. It's supposed to be very emotionally driven and, coming back to Beyonce, I think that's why it's being received so well en masse by country fans. It is that storytelling.
Speaker 1:
26:37
Like you said, the song Da song daughter is amazing 16 carriages. She just lays her whole her upbringing in houston like just there to for you to explore with her, and I think that's wonderful. Um, yeah, like I, I'm I. I I've never been like an expert in genres. I've always like just just album by album, artist by artist basis, but I I've uh, some of my favorite albums are from country artists. Because of that storytelling element, I think, most honestly, the two best storytelling genres to me are hip-hop and country, and I think those two have a lot more similarities than people give them credit for no, they absolutely do.
Speaker 3:
27:11
They merge together all the time, my favorite country artist being Nelly Eric knows all about that. Stop, let's play hey Porsche. I'm putting hey Porsche on the playlist.
Speaker 4:
27:21
That's not even a country song.
Speaker 3:
27:24
I can make the argument that hey Porsche is country.
Speaker 1:
27:27
One last thing I want to say. I'm looking at the Wikipedia and the personnel for Cowboy Carter it credits. I didn't know Stevie Wonder was on the album playing harmonica on Jolene, which is sick.
Speaker 3:
27:37
He didn't either was on the album playing harmonica on Jolene, which is sick.
Speaker 1:
27:39
Oh, there you go. He didn't see it either?
Speaker 2:
27:40
I didn't know, but we're not.
Speaker 1:
27:46
That was in bad taste.
Speaker 4:
27:47
What I said is less worse than what's on Jay's wall. There's.
Speaker 5:
27:56
You can see, right now, there's nothing on this wall. Phil, this is the perfect crop point no, no, no.
Speaker 1:
28:06
But I just want to shout out the other credit. The other credit I find way funnier. Jay-z is credited for clapping on Jolene. His instrument is clapping Jay-Z.
Speaker 3:
28:18
Good job, baby, and then she's like shut the hell up and go home.
Speaker 1:
28:24
Please, babe, just give me one credit, Okay.
Speaker 3:
28:29
That way when she wins the Grammy he gets like a partial credit.
Speaker 1:
28:32
He's just in the back waving like that's my wife. Sorry, I should refer to Jay-Z as Beyonce's husband. Yeah, absolutely, that's my wife. Sorry, I should refer to Jay-Z as Beyonce's husband.
Speaker 3:
28:39
Yeah, no absolutely, absolutely, that's perfect.
Speaker 4:
28:41
Was this? Because he said at the Grammys or whatever, he's like y'all don't have to clap. And Beyonce was like oh, your ass is going to clap, all right.
Speaker 1:
28:51
Just clap. For me it's like a warning, jolene. Better not talk to you. This is a message for Jolene. Better not talk to you. This is a message for Jolene and you.
Speaker 3:
29:01
Alright, well, good way to start it off. Cowboy Carter has been a Huge part of the early Huge part of early 2024, so solid there.
Speaker 4:
29:12
Eric.
Speaker 3:
29:13
You know what time it is.
Speaker 4:
29:16
I do, it's been that real time. The first go around was a little rough around the edges, but I am confident that this time I'm gonna need you to break that down for me. Well, there was what you're talking about almost how. Yeah, well, when I mean like it was a little bit rough, what I mean by a little bit rough is like in every conceivable way it was done wrong, so like we messed up at every turn.
Speaker 5:
29:45
Every turn. I think that's an exaggeration. I will show you what it's like to go wrong at every turn, if you want.
Speaker 4:
29:51
Do you want that demonstrated? I want us to do the opposite. We've already done that.
Speaker 5:
29:56
I just want it to go well, that's all Well. This is just very insulting. I don't really appreciate it.
Speaker 4:
30:02
Oh okay, oh okay. Well, I don't want to insult anybody.
Speaker 5:
30:06
Do your little countdown, big man Phil do you want to go somewhere else.
Speaker 2:
30:14
Maybe, yeah.
Speaker 4:
30:16
Do we have breakout?
Speaker 1:
30:16
rooms in here.
Speaker 3:
30:19
I'm going to send you two into a breakout room. You guys can work this out. Maybe spin a wheel.
Speaker 4:
30:24
We're going to try this again. Better results. You're going to stay positive, all right. So three, two, one.
Speaker 5:
30:35
Spin that wheel. Oh, I did it, that was trying. You guys are going to land on Jay.
Speaker 1:
30:43
Yes, it landed.
Speaker 3:
30:45
Well, I don't even know why we do this actually, eric, because it's the same.
Speaker 1:
30:49
Oh, I think I might have, it's not applause.
Speaker 4:
30:50
I might have said yeah, you know what.
Speaker 5:
30:51
It's Jay-Z. I heard Jay-Z.
Speaker 2:
30:54
You stole my joke.
Speaker 3:
30:56
That was my fault. I actually I remember that I just forgot to. I don't know why we're spinning the wheel anyway, because it's always the two guests and us which is how it should be, but we still do the wheel. Anyway, Jay, what did we?
Speaker 5:
31:12
miss in April 2024?. So I have you guys heard of these things called video games. They're pretty neat.
Speaker 3:
31:19
They're getting pretty. I listened to this podcast about it, but it's like it's fine. Yeah, it's okay. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5:
31:27
But Sony, big company in the gaming sphere, probably not familiar, but they filed an interesting patent recently for a quote-unquote autoplay game mode, and this autoplay game mode is essentially AI-powered and it is going to be a feature presumably assuming they continue down this path with this patent, that will be able to, based off of PSN data. So just don't know what that means or where that comes from, presumably by other players playing the game, but you can have the AI take over for you in a game at any given time. So the examples they give are if you run into a very difficult part of the game, you can just turn on the AI and it'll play the game for you for a little while. Other examples that have been thrown out are just turn the AI on and let them play the entire game for you, which is theoretically also possible under this patent. But I thought this was interesting One. It seems like this is possible without AI. It seems like you could just have some sort of program of someone playing that section of the game and complete it.
Speaker 5:
32:56
I'm not really sure how that factors in. It feels like AI is just sort of the keyword the seo, you know fun word that they decided to throw in here, um, but you know this trained model is going to be able to, you know, complete parts of games for you. You know there's questions about like achievements and things like that. I don't really care about things like that. I don't really care about things like that, but I do think it's interesting, you know, sort of having this part of this technology being implemented in this way. It seems like there's better uses, maybe for AI.
Speaker 5:
33:34
But the other example that was given that I thought was interesting is that, um, PlayStation gamers would not need to play grindy or repetitive sections of games. Uh, which I also. I mean that sounds on the surface like something that I would appreciate, but then, like, if I'm not playing half of the RPG that I bought, then it doesn't feel like a good RPG, you know, like if I'm grinding away at it. So, yeah, I brought this just because I thought it was like an interesting talking point, like video games and AI, but also like this specific feature seems dumb to me, like on surface level. But I was wondering if you guys had a different perspective on it, because I'm open to that as well.
Speaker 3:
34:20
Yeah, eric, let's throw it to you first. Are you going to use this autoplay to help you get through Baldur's Gate? No, I'm having a great time I'm being.
Speaker 4:
34:29
I'm being told that I'm I'm having the most unique, frustrating, ridiculous gameplay. Like what linear, ridiculous gameplay, like linear experience as possible. The words that have been used are I've never seen this ever and things of that nature.
Speaker 3:
34:46
I've never had an interaction with this character and had that happen before is what was said last night.
Speaker 4:
34:54
So it's going. I think I'm having a great time. I couldn't imagine setting up AI to do it for me and feel accomplished. You know, this specifically feels like and this is what I love about gaming, at least the opinions somewhat kind of matter, because you had to play it. Like, if you think it's hard, that's fine. You actually played it to come to that conclusion. But this is the equivalent of watching a movie or a show and being on your phone half the fucking time, and phil knows how I feel about this.
Speaker 4:
35:25
So I can only imagine these toxic gamers that are barely paying attention to the game and being like oh that's shit. Imagine the last of us, part two and the uproar there. And I didn't even have to play the game, so I couldn't emotionally connect to it and I just tuned out. That's what we're talking about here. I think it's extremely bad for the entire gaming community. If that was to happen on a smaller scale, I could see how it's beneficial. Uh, jay, I'm assuming the first thing you thought of is some of those puzzles in God of War when we talked about it, right?
Speaker 4:
36:01
You might buy me there, you might buy me there.
Speaker 5:
36:05
Yeah, you might be able to pop it in for one of those.
Speaker 1:
36:08
I was thinking like Trace.
Speaker 2:
36:10
AI step in Phil's walking away from the TV.
Speaker 5:
36:16
He's changing the, he's watching TV.
Speaker 4:
36:18
We literally go to the, we do the review back in time when we fast forward and he's like, yeah, the game was fun, that Atreus part though didn't. Didn't enjoy, didn't recommend.
Speaker 3:
36:27
I can tell you a thing about it.
Speaker 5:
36:30
Just ask him the most surface level question Like what is one just name one character Atreus interacted with?
Speaker 3:
36:37
While somebody else is going, I'm going to ask ChatGPT to sum up the Atreus sections and got a world on them.
Speaker 4:
36:47
Eli, what do you think about that whole thing? Again, just kind of talking about the AI in gaming.
Speaker 1:
36:55
I'm still trying to suss out AI within the larger just world and I'm curious because whenever I hear companies talking about developing AI, I always feel like there's some ulterior motive. So I'm curious what Sony's endgame for this is, because obviously players will benefit from it. But I feel like this feels like a particular niche that I feel like there is another use for that we don't know yet that Sony is interested in like testing On the surface level. I mean, I just think it's like. I think it's interesting. I mean I think of, like you know, super Mario 3D World. When you die enough, they give you like super power-ups that make you know that let you do it.
Speaker 1:
37:33
So I can imagine something similar, because some people obviously are working, you know they get home, they're tired and they don't. A part of the game is just grueling and they don't want to go through it. I can see that being super nice to just like I just want to get through this part to play the rest of the game, something like that. Or, like you said, if there's like a super grindy part of an MMO or something, just pop on that AI Cause, like that would be super nice, could you imagine just an MMO just eventually is just filled with people that have turned on autoplay.
Speaker 5:
38:07
Just this self-contained.
Speaker 1:
38:08
AI world. But, like I remember my cousin was showing me he was, he had a. He had one of those auto battlers on his uh, on his phone. It was like he had to tap something and he had a program that would auto-tap it. And I'm like, then why are you doing it? He's like I don't know, I think it's neat, yeah.
Speaker 2:
38:28
I just think they're neat.
Speaker 1:
38:32
The future of AI. I'm going back and forth of, just like Jay said. This sounds like it's dumb, but there's always the possibility of something could come out of this that I feel like would be been greatly beneficial. So long as no, you know, dev jobs are getting axed or anything like that, I don't really have a particular issue. So I mean, if and what jay is describing sounds only beneficial to players, then I'm all for it here's something that I think maybe would be a little worrisome, and it comes to content creators.
Speaker 3:
39:03
So if there is a game that I don't want to play but I am interested in, I'll go to youtube. I'll watch the rad brad or somebody. Like what, if I guess this would still entail you purchasing the game? So that's still 70, but, like now, somebody is going to maybe put this on autoplay and watch themselves, as opposed to going to YouTube. You know, maybe that's, maybe that's an obscure concern. I'm not 100% sure, but I know that I like going to certain content creators because of their feedback or their banter while they're playing the game. So maybe that's a little bit of a concern. But yeah, it is strange. I mean, jay, like you said, do you really need this for games? Because it's already in? Like sports games, I can play half of a game of 2k and switch it to cpu and they'll finish the game for me right, so that's already a thing.
Speaker 3:
39:52
Yeah, yeah, no, I I agree, eli.
Speaker 5:
39:56
Like you know what is the sinister thing behind this? That it's sort of that like got my brain going.
Speaker 5:
40:03
Yeah, exactly, I'm thinking about like, well, you know, the thing that really is interesting to me is this line it says Sony's technology would use an AI powered model to learn how to play games using information from cloud-based services like PSN.
Speaker 5:
40:20
That line is like how is it going to learn? Like what is it? I mean, like I already know like they can take a ton of information, like they like, you know, uh, the developers, insomniac knows where everyone dies in Spider-Man, and so, like they know, like what parts were hard for people, what parts were frustrating points you know like. So like they know, like what parts were hard for people, what parts were frustrating points you know like. So like they can like suss out that information, but what statistics? I feel like, um, but I'm wondering if this AI power is going to go like even further, because if it's going to play the game for you, then it has to know, you know like deeper mechanics about how to actually, like you know, play a single player game versus like a multiplayer game like 2k or madden or something like that.
Speaker 3:
41:04
So, yeah, and the example you're giving with insomniac is you were talking about a contained data like uh like in, like the director in left 4 dead. That's a contained thing, we're talking about a grand scale.
Speaker 1:
41:16
Ai watching something to figure out how to play these games, so I'm almost curious because, like in video games, developers will release betas and early access as almost like a stress test to see because, like their qa teams only have so much time. But giving it to the broader public, they can like see what the game actually does in the hands of people not on the team. And I wonder if this ai program will basically simulate player behavior to allow them to like find the bugs, to find the, the exploitable stuff, to stuff like that, because yeah I mean like, like, yeah, I'm still going on, like, what is the practical purpose for sony for this?
Speaker 1:
41:51
because it just it just feels so niche that I'm just. Yeah, I like the mr sony has his hands steepled like he's doing the gendo, the gendo pose from neil druckman is just rubbing his hands like, yeah, how can I release the last of us part one again the last
Speaker 5:
42:09
of ai the last of us, part one the movie. Buy the disc, pop it in your ps5 and it'll play the game for you.
Speaker 3:
42:20
49.99 it's an ai playing the game. You can't, actually you can't.
Speaker 4:
42:26
No, you control the ai exactly and guys, this is just the first part of it, because you already know where this is going to go. We start by playing with the ai, and then the ai gets voice chat and you know you got a Helldiver's AI and he's pretty chill, you know fighting for democracy. But then you get that Call of Duty AI and then all of a sudden it looks like Jay's wall. You can't keep referencing.
Speaker 5:
42:54
You can't keep referencing. Are you making?
Speaker 3:
42:56
notes.
Speaker 2:
42:57
Are you?
Speaker 3:
42:57
taking notes. I gotta mark the clip there. Mark the clip, it's so funny.
Speaker 1:
43:01
Jay Jay. If you did not move those signs, there wouldn't be none of these jokes.
Speaker 2:
43:07
I feel, like we would have noticed it eventually?
Speaker 3:
43:08
Yeah, I think it would have come up eventually.
Speaker 5:
43:11
I would prefer these jokes versus like suddenly Phil, just like stop.
Speaker 2:
43:16
What is that? Let's zoom in there, enhance, enhance.
Speaker 3:
43:23
Hang on, I'm going to tweet this quick.
Speaker 1:
43:25
Really quick.
Speaker 3:
43:26
Yeah, phil just raises the phone.
Speaker 5:
43:30
Why'd you do that, Phil?
Speaker 3:
43:33
Don't worry about it, I'll handle it in post. Yeah, but really interesting. And Eli you raise and you guys like Eli you raise, you know both of you raise good concerns like what is this really gonna be used for? Like you definitely have to be like the what is it? The Simpsons meme with the dog detective. He's like in the shadows he's like what?
Speaker 2:
43:56
what's happening here?
Speaker 3:
43:57
so that's the truth. I had not see that story. So again, eric, love, we will never run out of stuff to talk about when it comes to this series. I definitely did not see that come across, um, my, uh, my news feed when that happened. So, all right, eric, back to the most important part. Well, listen, um, the last.
Speaker 4:
44:15
The last time was really great, it was maybe you should encourage Jay instead yeah, no it was such a great experience. If we could just tweak a couple things, I think we'll be right there.
Speaker 5:
44:26
Now, Eric, you're trying to butter me up, and I really don't appreciate it. I want some honest critiques here.
Speaker 4:
44:36
I think if it's just a matter of inflection or or what you know?
Speaker 5:
44:39
I yeah I need direction. I need direction, eric, okay thank you.
Speaker 4:
44:49
All right, thank you, I, I could do that. I could do that. Um, eli, you've been great. Jay, follow fucking directions and we'll be good, and we'll be good to go Easy.
Speaker 2:
45:07
Easy peasy Okie dokie Pretty straightforward feedback.
Speaker 4:
45:17
We're going to give everybody a moment. Then we're going to count down A friendly reminder, jay, because again honestly speaking, I don't know why you're not telling Eli this.
Speaker 5:
45:28
I don't even think Eli said it last time at all.
Speaker 4:
45:31
Well, eli was in the pre-show and you thought he created the wheel process, so he's definitely well above. Let me kind of give you a visual. Here's where Eli is. You want me to make a wheel and here, hold on, hold on, and we're just trying to get you on equal footing. That's all, and we're going to do that. We're going to get to the same level here after a three A two a one Spin.
Speaker 5:
46:04
Spin that, that Wheel Wheel. Yeah, that was good, right, I was thinking about it before you say it, though.
Speaker 4:
46:10
Why are you thinking about the word before? Just say the word when you're thinking about it.
Speaker 3:
46:15
Oh shit, I shared the sound again, so I'll.
Speaker 4:
46:27
It's a nightmare, absolute nightmare.
Speaker 5:
46:30
Eric, I'm not really sure why you're surprised. You admitted to ruining my podcasting career when we started. You ruined season six, you ruined the holiday special, so I mean, I'm not really sure what you expect. I'm taking this little piece of power that I have and I'm going to break you.
Speaker 4:
46:47
I want it to be publicly known. Two things Number one, with the holiday special, I did not want to do the wheel. I was encouraged to do the wheel and then I just kept doing it. So half of that's my fault. Yeah, I ran with it. But two, I want you to know season six and the holiday special funnest time of my life. I had such a great time, such a great time.
Speaker 1:
47:10
So um, eric, you know how to deal with Jay. You gotta kill him with kindness like just undercut him with those compliments.
Speaker 4:
47:19
I'm trying. He just yelled at me how do you do?
Speaker 1:
47:22
this oh, you get used to it. You get used to it.
Speaker 4:
47:24
No you're supposed to be the trophy husband this sounds very abusive.
Speaker 3:
47:32
Yeah, but then when he like gets to go on that spending, spree it all comes away.
Speaker 4:
47:38
How many holes have you covered up in that wall jay? You know what I want you to do eli is progressively as time goes on.
Speaker 3:
47:44
I want there to be more copies of the lighthouse in the background of whatever you record, just like when people buy, like just like random films all these books replaced with dvds and just yeah absolutely please and blu-ray?
Speaker 4:
48:02
yeah, absolutely please. All right, eric, what did we miss in in april 2024? All right, well, there's a lot going on here in the past month, so I've actually kind of got like a uh, just a base story, but it's kind of it can spread out to literally anything and I'll mention a couple things that come in. Uh, come into mind. I, uh, and me and phil both want to check this out. I plan on checking this out very, very soon because everybody is talking about X-Men 97.
Speaker 4:
48:23
And the fact that the directors have come out and said they think they can really hit a slam dunk with a movie If they were given the opportunity to do that in the likes of Akira spider verse and having that in that theater experience, they really think they can just kind of grow this property. The quote here by Chase Conley, one of the directors of X-Men 97, was first off, it would be a slam dunk. I think it would absolutely be something the audience would want to see and we would want to be a part of. And I really think it's interesting because X-Men, specifically, has been very popular since it's returned and people are think it's interesting because X-Men, specifically has been very popular since it's returned and people are saying it's like the best Marvel project in a while, if not outside of Endgame and Infinity War ever.
Speaker 4:
49:09
So, whether it's X-Men 97 or another property, there are so many storytelling things that I'd love to hear what is kind of on that level for you, where you really are loving it right now. There's fallout that has come out, which is fantastic. There is also and only my parents are going to get this uh, bluey. I don't know if you're on the Bluey train, but Bluey has taken over the last few weeks on the internet. It's absolutely crazy storytelling that they're doing in that medium. All of these things are so great. And, phil, you're watching Shogun, which I think is almost done right. So is there a show or any type of medium of film, anything at all that is kind of reaching that level? And if you are watching X-Men 97, what are your thoughts about a potential film? Jay, I'll throw it over to you, uh, for that question so I'm not watching x-men.
Speaker 5:
50:02
It's very much it's. It's on my list, I think it's one. I am waiting for the season to fully be out to just to binge it, I think. Um, but I I have watched fallout. Um, I just finished it this morning actually. Um, I, I wrapped it up and, man, is that a good show? Um, it's definitely one of it's. It's been a while since like a live action show has really held on to me and like pulled me through with its mystery, with its action, with its characters, like the whole thing is just really well done. At certain points it's sort of like missing, you know something to elevate it to like best show ever. But I mean, you got every single actor I feel like is given some of the best performances I've ever seen from them, including what's Lucy, ella Purnell, I think her name is who does Jinx in Arcane, which is one of the best shows I've ever seen so far.
Speaker 5:
51:06
I'm really looking forward to season two, but she's the main character in Fallout and it took me a second to make the connection but I was like, wow, this actress is doing a really good job like falling into insanity I wonder, I wonder, why that is um, and so, yeah, no, fallout um is definitely a show that I'm looking forward to seeing more of um and it's, you know, for being a video game adaptation, also for context, like, like very casual Fallout fan as well, this isn't something that I'm a diehard fan of.
Speaker 5:
51:43
I played a little bit of 3, I played a little bit of 4, neither of which are really my jam, but I did love the universe. I thought it was really interesting, like the characters, and it's very funny, like the games are very funny, and that same exact humor is in the show as well. So it really just hit all the right spots, and so I'm looking forward to season two I think was just announced today yesterday maybe and so I'm very much looking forward to seeing what that is and what the future has in store for us in the Fallout universe.
Speaker 4:
52:17
Yeah, I think with Fallout I'm currently about to enter episode six, so I'm in the last three episodes and I've been enjoying the hell out of it. As a big fan of the games, fallout three is one of my favorite games. Like just in general, I love that game very, very much. A lot of people love New Vegas, which I definitely have wanted to revisit, and what's crazy about fallout and that's why I mentioned it as one of the options like x-men has really brought out a lot of love for those characters, like just beyond your deadpool and wolverine, that movie is coming out, but I think people by the end of the year are still going to be talking about x-men 97 for fallout. People that have watched the show are now wanting to play the games.
Speaker 4:
53:00
One of the things that's happened this month is Fallout 76, fallout 4. These games are seeing a resurgence in player base and Fallout 76 specifically had a very bad launch years ago. So the fact that it's getting resurgence after sticking with that community and providing updates to those games, it's kind of cool to see. Eli, is there any of those properties or anything in general? That's kind of caught your eye. Again, there's so many to count to choose from. It's hard to keep count of all these properties, but what's one that sticks out to you?
Speaker 1:
53:35
I'm trying to think because I've been watching a lot of like movies or shows recently. My time has been lots of listening to music and reading, and so, if I could pull a plug for the book I'm currently reading, it's called the Lincoln Highway by Amor Tulls, and you may know that name because he's the writer for a new series, I believe it's called the man in Moscow, which is going to be airing soon, and so I think this this the Lincoln Highway would make a great mini-series or TV show, because it is a road trip book set in the 1950s America of just a brother who's yeah, a son, who's an 18-year-old son, who's just lost everything. All he has is his little brother, some cash his deceased father left him and a Studebaker, and they're going drive the lincoln highway and find out where it goes. But I think that would be a very compelling narrative, is something people would want to say uh, probably, because, like I, I wonder, because fallout has such a 1950s aesthetic, I wonder if there's going to be this nostalgic craze that people are going to want to escape this quality, and I can think of this road trip along 1950s vintage Americana might capture the people in the same way like the Fallout New Vegas or the Fallout TV show has.
Speaker 1:
54:47
I mean, they're two vastly different styles of media, but I think a lot of people like that, capturing old spirits, whatever it is, even if it's in a sci-fi or literary fiction landscape, old spirits, whatever it is, even if it's a sci-fi or literary fiction landscape. But no, I yeah, if you guys I know it's harder to recommend a near 600 page novel compared to you know, a TV show. But if you guys are looking for a really engaging book, then check out the Lincoln Highway by Amor Tolles. It's really good.
Speaker 4:
55:13
That's actually really fitting, though, eli, because I think that's exactly that vintageness of what Fallout offers. I think that's what's driving people who have played the game and many new players first-time franchise players to the games now, so I think that's absolutely a great call out, and in the fact that it's, having you said, something's coming out soon, I mean that's something to keep an eye on, because I think this year, phil, we were really concerned with the state of movies, state of shows and the state of games. We talked about that on several different mediums and episodes, guest features, our own episodes. Right, like we've been preaching, 2024 is going to be a tough year and, man, we are four months in and we are very wrong. So pleasantly pleasantly so.
Speaker 4:
56:01
But, phil, what do you want to kind of highlight when it comes to it Again, x-men 97, huge, fallout, huge. I know those are two properties you're going to try to get into, potentially what's been out there for you? Again, I know you're a big watcher of Shogun here, so I figured that might be a good one. Yeah, shogun here.
Speaker 3:
56:17
So I figured that might be a good one. Yeah, shogun is excellent. Definitely recommend that. And the series finale is actually coming up here. It's only 10 episodes and then they're going to wrap it up, so that'll all be available to stream here very soon.
Speaker 3:
56:27
Jay, I'm just like you with Fallout, where the games have never really been my bag, but I've played all of them, like bits and pieces of 3, 4, and New Vegas have not made the dive into 76, but who knows? I mean it's getting so much praise that, as a fan of the video game medium, like I can't ignore it, like I'll probably watch it once I finish Shogun. I still need to finish, mr and Mrs Smith, so you know there's definitely some stuff that I need to catch up on. X-men 97. The thing with X-Men is like I never saw them in order back when they were originally out. I've always seen like an episode here and an episode there, so I've always been a little worried about continuity and maybe getting a little confused. But like again, another show that I just can't ignore and I also want to avoid spoilers. So I want to get to that sooner rather than later when I think about shows that could maybe make that jump into a feature. What I would love to see return and they almost did this in live action and it was going to be a disaster and luckily it has been canceled I would like the Powerpuff Girls to come back in a newer iteration, maybe in a cooler, in like an updated animated form. The Powerpuff Girls have always been a really, really I've always been a huge fan of in terms of the style, the humor. Those characters are great and, yeah, I'm glad they axed that live action because we didn't even get anything other than I think casting news and very little bits and pieces that are like this is going to be terrible. So I'm glad Keep that away from live action. It can stay in an animated form.
Speaker 3:
57:57
I think maybe we are a little bit past this, but when I'm thinking about TV shows converting to movies, the time for it has probably passed, but Seth MacFarlane was talking about it recently. Family Guy could have had a movie like maybe in the mid-2000s. The same way the Simpsons had a great movie. The Simpsons movie is excellent, it's so good and I think you could have done that with Family Guy maybe 10 years ago. That ship has probably sailed now. I mean South Park. South Park has a great movie, so that probably could have crossed over very, very well, but unfortunately that time may have passed. Let me ask you this, eric With the success of Fallout and we're seeing video game movies being a lot more successful, how are you feeling about Bioshock, even though that's going to be a Netflix property? I mean, that is your favorite, maybe top tier gaming franchise of all time. Are you feeling a little bit better because we are getting better video game shows and also Netflix's track record has been a little bit more solid as of late as well?
Speaker 4:
58:53
Yeah, I mean on the anime front, you know they have the live action one piece. They put a lot of love into that and while I wasn't the biggest fan of those episodes, I thought they were well done. There definitely was heart and I could really see why people appreciate the work that was put in. I hope they do the same justice to Bioshock. Fallout really needed that Amazon treatment. That and you know we haven't seen the boys, but I know the boys is like very violent right.
Speaker 4:
59:25
There are shows like that that can only really be on Amazon. Will Netflix take it to that level of violence and imagery that Bioshock offers? That's really what I am most concerned about because aesthetically, like Eli mentioned, if you love the fallout aesthetic, you're going to love the Bioshock one one. I mean, it's just absolutely fantastic, the world and everything. Even if you don't like the game, it's just something you get pulled into. I would say bioshock's not necessarily the game I'm more excited about now, but while we haven't heard anything. Got a war lands? No, no, got a war. Uh, it's supposed to be on Amazon at some point. That was ordered right. So I don't know what that future holds for that series, but if it does come. I'm a little bit more optimistic about that heading to Amazon based off of Fallout.
Speaker 3:
1:00:10
Yeah, I mean it's just nice that we've turned this corner now into people actually putting and these producers putting work in. What happened? Did I miss something?
Speaker 4:
1:00:18
Yeah no, jay just chatted me and was like hurry the fuck up, absolutely unhinged. Oh god, it would be funny.
Speaker 3:
1:00:33
if in the next one he just put it in the chat, I would actually laugh, Since the wheel is solely Eric's thing. Now everything else is going great guys.
Speaker 4:
1:00:41
Why is it solely my thing, though?
Speaker 3:
1:00:46
You're doing great buddy, because you feel very passionately about it so it's easy to.
Speaker 1:
1:00:50
You are very passionate.
Speaker 5:
1:00:51
If you didn't care about it, how could I not care about it? Exactly exactly, yeah, Well speaking of the wheel.
Speaker 4:
1:00:56
How can I not care about it Exactly?
Speaker 3:
1:01:00
Well, speaking of the wheel, even though there is only one person left, we don't skim on the wheel around here. That is not something that happens. Oh, hold on, let me turn off the volume.
Speaker 1:
1:01:20
No, but I want to hear Jay-Z clapping. That's who that?
Speaker 3:
1:01:24
is.
Speaker 5:
1:01:27
Give that man credit where credit's due.
Speaker 3:
1:01:29
There's going to be a lot of intrigue here, eric, as to where this is going to land per usual, there's some NBA lottery shenanigans going on.
Speaker 1:
1:01:36
One more go around.
Speaker 3:
1:01:39
This is for Patrick Ewing and the number one overall pick.
Speaker 1:
1:01:42
This is for who's getting Victor Wimbanyama. Let's go.
Speaker 4:
1:01:47
I think Jay's just trying to make these episodes longer because of what I did to him on his season six. Is that what this is?
Speaker 5:
1:01:55
Eric, no, no, no.
Speaker 3:
1:02:01
I would never do that to you. Oh, my God.
Speaker 4:
1:02:05
Are you guys ready?
Speaker 1:
1:02:08
I don't know, I'm scared.
Speaker 5:
1:02:10
Eric, I'm locked the fuck in, I'm ready.
Speaker 4:
1:02:19
All right, I was looking if I had like cue cards. I don't why the fuck would you?
Speaker 3:
1:02:28
This is an episode of Saturday Night Live. What the hell is happening? I'm having a hard time here.
Speaker 4:
1:02:33
All right, guys, we're locked in, we're ready to go. All right, three, three.
Speaker 2:
1:02:50
Two One Spin.
Speaker 4:
1:02:51
That Wheel, that was so good. Oh it's Phil. Oh my God.
Speaker 1:
1:02:57
Let's go.
Speaker 3:
1:02:59
Actually I take Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 5:
1:03:05
Could we actually give that another take? I didn't really feel it. My heart was out. You wanna?
Speaker 4:
1:03:09
do it again.
Speaker 5:
1:03:10
Yeah, could we do that one more time? Just another, take real quick.
Speaker 4:
1:03:13
You can edit that last one out. No, no, I think the share screen feature is on a cool down.
Speaker 1:
1:03:18
I don't think that's how that works. That last one out.
Speaker 5:
1:03:20
No, no, I think the share screen feature is on a cool down. Oh, I don't think that's how that works. You don't use.
Speaker 4:
1:03:23
Riverside? You don't know.
Speaker 1:
1:03:26
I do warn you, Eric, that Jay is union, so I think he has a right to ask you to redo that. There you go. Oh no, Per the collective bargaining agreement amongst podcast hosts, yeah he's off that wall.
Speaker 4:
1:03:39
I'm surprised he's in a union.
Speaker 5:
1:03:46
Just keep going back to that will huh.
Speaker 2:
1:03:48
Yeah.
Speaker 4:
1:03:49
The memorabilia was. The amount of memorabilia was alarming.
Speaker 1:
1:03:55
That's just a card Eric's going to play whenever Jay says anything.
Speaker 4:
1:04:01
Jay, remember that wall. I'll tell him. I'll tell him, it's not even your wall. That's the thing.
Speaker 5:
1:04:11
I'm going to listen back to this episode and then it's just going to be the one time I actually did it right is going to be copy and pasted over every single other episode. The episode's just going to be the one time I actually did it right is going to be copy and pasted over every single other episode. The episode's only going to be 40 minutes long.
Speaker 4:
1:04:27
You really have a little bit too much faith in Phil's editing Capabilities and efforts, not for this episode.
Speaker 3:
1:04:33
Not for this one. No, I make sure everything is lined up at least a little bit in Audacity, and I'm like it's probably good for the rest of it so we can just send it out. So my story and what you guys may have missed in April actually is also pretty recent, and that is a scary movie reboot has been confirmed. So the popular horror spoof series scary movie is returning with a brand new film for the first time since the release of Scary Movie 5 in 2013. It debuted, of course, in 2000 and, created by the Waynes family, scary Movie took aim at the most popular horror films of the time and poked fun at many of the tropes in the genre. Hits, of course, like Scream, blair Witch Project I Know what you Did Last Summer Critics were pretty cold towards it, but Scary Movie was a bona fide blockbuster and grossed nearly $300 million against its $20 million budget. Sequels were produced across the rest of the 2000s and you know each Scary Movie had its bright spots, but I think we can all agree as we moved on, they got less and less solid in terms of quality. Because the film is a reboot, it's unclear if the original franchise stars like Anna Ferris or Regina Hall will return. Furthermore, nothing is known about the film's story. It's unclear if the reboot aims to keep the original lowbrow tone or if it will be a more mature one with its jokes. Either way, there's a plethora of modern horror for the reboot to tackle, and details about the cast and story are expected shortly.
Speaker 3:
1:06:04
So my question for this is do you know scary movies? Those movies are in like a time capsule when it comes to film. You know they also spawned, like Epic Movie and Date Movie and, unfortunately, all those other terrible spin offs. But scary movie in and of itself, of itself, you know, I think the first three are when they're really in their sweet spot in terms of early 2000s parody comedy. So one, do you think that this can be done correctly in 2024 without punching down and being, you know, being totally low brow? And also, what movies would you like to see them spoof? I think there's a lot. There's so much potential when it comes to modern horror films in the last 10 years alone that they could go after I think of just Jordan Peele films alone would be a lot of fun if they can cast the right people. So, yeah, what do you guys think? Eric, I'll send it to you first. Do you think this could be done properly in 2024, and what horror movies would be fun to spoof in a modern scary movie?
Speaker 4:
1:06:58
That is interesting, you know, especially considering I brought up like, really, really like, masterful approaches to filmmaking and things like that with Fallout and X-Men, and you followed that up with. Hey, a scary movie is being rebooted.
Speaker 3:
1:07:14
Listen, man, what we're not going to do is disrespect Anna Faris and Regina Hall.
Speaker 4:
1:07:21
Well, listen, here's what I'll tell you is for the first half of this, before we kind of theorize. I'm not very excited. I think this movie is absolutely in a time capsule and needs to stay in there, because it did end up spawning the ideas that you were mentioning, like your date movies. The movie that came up to my mind, I think was Movie 43. I believe that's what it's called. I just remember it's the one where Hugh Jackman has a ball sack on his chin and he dips it in the soup. That's when I think I realized you know the spoofy type of movie. I think I've outgrown it. So for me, I have outgrown it.
Speaker 4:
1:08:01
I think we just talked about on the last episode of what did I miss. There are like spoofy but yet still horror movies out there, like the whole Pooniverse that they're doing with Winnie the Pooh uh, blood and honey. They're doing like an Avengers style team up leading to 2025. That was our story last month. That I can kind of vibe with scary movie, though I don't know if they were to do it. I think they could absolutely do it on your classic films, but I just don't know if there's any like new horror franchises, I would be interested in them, kind of spoofing. You know the horror movies that are out, like talk to me, uh, jordan peels, get out, or any of the Jordan peel movies. Like do you really want to see a spoof of those movies? Not really. So they're going to kind of have to stick with that monster slasher type vibe and I think we're, unless they're going to just keep doing scream. I think we're kind of well past that. That's just my opinion, though. That's my two cents.
Speaker 3:
1:09:01
Really quick before I throw it to Eli. They do have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and cast Melissa Barrera in this and put her front and center in the new scary movie franchise and spoof Scream after the just horrible way that they jettisoned her out of that franchise.
Speaker 3:
1:09:18
They do have that and she has expressed interest. She expressed interest on the Abigail tour that she'd do it. So but, eli, again, as far as scary movie, do you have any? Any? You know, do you reminisce on these films as a fun time or just like something that would like you would see on like TNT or TBS in the middle of the day and change the channel?
Speaker 1:
1:09:38
I love. I love a scary movie. One of my favorite film genres is the spoof parody movie. I have a whole collection of Mel Brooks movies on my shelf. It's top five genres for me. I love those super silly spoof movies when they're done well. The bad ones you mentioned are among the worst movies ever made, and I'm going to disagree wholeheartedly with Eric.
Speaker 1:
1:10:02
Not only do I want to see a scary movie reboot, I think we're well past the time to bring spoof back into the mainstream. I think there's so much potential to just make fun of all like the MCU stuff, all the like reboot-centric Hollywood ideas. I think the entertainment landscape is due in for just getting the piss taken out of it and I think the spoof genre is well built for that. Again, it has to be done well, otherwise it'll just fall flat on its face. And who knows? I mean we see spoof every day on TikTok and Instagram and people are goof, are their goofs on on social media, and I think it's possible to bring that goof energy to the big screen again.
Speaker 1:
1:10:44
The caveat is just like if it's done well, but no for horror movies, dude, just do like an A24 parody movie. You don't need to do anything else. Just do Ari Aster, like just do Eggers, like all of the A24, like I swear to God, like a third of it is just horror movies. So I think it's prime If they could target that audience. I feel like that would be particularly good. Maybe spoof doesn't have a super widespread appeal, but I think making fun of cinephiles would be something that a lot of hardcore movie fans would love. I think A24 fans would be so happy.
Speaker 3:
1:11:26
It's just one long one-cut. It's one one-shot. The whole movie is one one-shot. Did you see?
Speaker 5:
1:11:33
the One long one cut.
Speaker 3:
1:11:33
It's one shot. The whole movie is one shot. No, but it's a real one shot. Did you know, though? Hold on, hold on. Did you guys see? It's one continuous shot Throughout the whole movie.
Speaker 1:
1:11:42
Let me rewind it, I would be first in line for an A24 style movie that makes fun of A24.
Speaker 2:
1:11:50
That would be amazing. Oh yeah, do it. Oh yeah, but but no, I.
Speaker 1:
1:11:54
I think, I think, I again. If it the whole caveat is, if it's done well, it's done poorly, then yeah, it's just not worth doing. It's going to be bad. It's going to be like, like, like you, uh, you're totally right, scary Movie is a time capsule, but I think we're due in for a timely spoof movie now, if that makes sense, something that makes fun of the 2020s so far, because a lot of it's been whack, job, crazy and I think we need something to just poke fun at it explicitly.
Speaker 3:
1:12:22
Lighten the mood. Yeah, jay, what do you think? You had a little bit of a reaction when I mentioned it was a movie that you kind of just glossed over.
Speaker 5:
1:12:33
Did you ever watch any?
Speaker 3:
1:12:33
of the scary movies.
Speaker 5:
1:12:34
No, these were definitely not my thing, um for, for, for whatever reason, and so, like, seeing that there's a reboot means basically nothing to me. I do like enjoy eli's idea of like different spoofs, like in different areas. I mean one thing, it's, it's rebooting. One thing that I already don't, you know, have a connection to pretty much at all, um, um, but I mean, like I don't know, do something, do something original, please, like.
Speaker 5:
1:12:55
I mean, like I understand it's safer, you know, go, you go with that you go with the known, you know IP, um, but um, yeah, no, I mean I think that there's plenty of material out there to be able to make fun of, like the current cinema landscape. Um, I'm not too tapped into like the scary, like the, like horror movies of the last decade, um, and I just not really my jam. I do like the idea of like a jordan peele scary movie. Maybe he'll come and direct it and make fun of his own movies, because I was gonna hilarious.
Speaker 3:
1:13:29
I was going to say I think if you play your cards right, he would do it. He would be in the movie, he would totally do it.
Speaker 1:
1:13:35
I think that's why a lot of those bad parody movies didn't do well is because the directors like the thing with parody. You make fun of it because you love it and I feel like a lot of those bad parody movies they're just making fun of it without any like emotional attachment. Like mel brooks when he made silent movie he loved, you know, those old style of cinema and he did it effectively like spoof movie. Good spoof movies take a lot of hard work to pull off and I think if yeah, it's just tough because I want this genre to come back so bad. But you guys are right, it is such a timely maybe not, you know, past its prime genre, but I I held out all my beliefs that it can come back and I hope the Scary Movie reboot does well enough to bring it back.
Speaker 4:
1:14:17
I do think the franchise that now comes into my mind, phil, now that I think about it, is like the Conjuring and like you know how the Conjuring like has, like all these extended universes. If they could bring the main actors that are in all those movies and have them in that, I could kind of okay, I could kind of see some appeal. Not still not for me, but I can now justify it. So, eli, I'm, I'm there, like, if it's done right, an occasional spoof movie is good. I think my problem is a spoof movie launches more spoof movies and then it just gets uncontrollable and then again Hugh Jackman balls on the chin.
Speaker 2:
1:14:52
That's where we.
Speaker 3:
1:14:57
That's Eric's endgame is Hugh Jackman balls on his chin.
Speaker 4:
1:15:01
Sometimes I'll wake up in a fever dream. I'll just be like, oh my God, Hugh.
Speaker 3:
1:15:04
Whenever Eric is kidnapped by Spider-Man. 2099 and he shows him his future. It always ends with Hugh Jackman balls on his chin, no matter what happens. That is his canon event is Hugh Jackman balls on his chin and Eric's just reliving that over and over again. Yeah, it's going to depend on you know, there are too many good comedy writers right now for you to put out something that essentially especially in 4 and 5, and epic movie and superhero movie we didn't think about superhero movie. God, what a disaster that was.
Speaker 3:
1:15:36
For them to put out a essentially what is a family guy cutaway. That's the entire film is basically what was happening back then, but I think there is a space for this. Like you said, Eli, I think there's space for just good old fashioned. I watched a stupid throwback movie recently called Ricky's to Nikki on Amazon Prime and it is hilarious. Did you watch it, Jay? Wait, sorry.
Speaker 5:
1:15:58
You like this movie.
Speaker 3:
1:16:00
I liked everything about John Cena, so hold on. So Zac Efron, the main character, is boring as shit, awful. John Cena commits 100% to everything that he does and he makes the movie enjoyable in the same way that Jason Momoa made Fast X watchable last summer. It's like it's similar to that, but the rest of the film terrible. But John Cena is worth price of admission.
Speaker 5:
1:16:26
I don't think he is. I thought this movie was just terrible. Don't think he is. I thought this movie was just terrible, yeah but I, if I were to pick a bright spot, I would agree with you and I would say that I would say that John Cena did, did his, did his damnedest, for sure, yeah, but remember those, those pictures like came out last summer of him in this full like schoolgirl outfit and everyone was like what the fuck is going on?
Speaker 3:
1:16:54
ricky's to nikki, that's where you guys will figure out what's happening also.
Speaker 4:
1:16:57
Phil also surrounded that movie with like very painfully average movies, so like I think he also needed that for his sanity because he watched a lot of very mid to bad movies no, I just watched four movies this week and it wasn't the best movie I saw this week, so I don't really. Yeah, but you also had it right underneath your top movie, so it was right there.
Speaker 3:
1:17:19
It was like a half a star under Well there's not a lot of leeway with fucking Letterboxd Forgive me that their scoring system needs updating.
Speaker 3:
1:17:29
It's not my fault. I'll say this as we wrap up and then we head into the game. If you do want to watch a, it's not modern because it came out in 2010,. But if you want to watch a spoof, comedy horror film, that's excellent. It's Tucker and Dale vs Evil and it is absolutely hilarious and definitely worth the watch. Pokes fun at all those old school slasher films and is a lot of fun. So I want to shout that movie out. Stars Alan Tudyk and God, I can't remember. Oh, Tyler Levine. Really really funny movie Guys. No more wheel. Unfortunately, we are no more wheel.
Speaker 4:
1:18:07
Do we have any honorable mentions before we jump to the game?
Speaker 2:
1:18:10
Oh, that's right, honorable mentions yeah, just breeze through them, yeah.
Speaker 3:
1:18:14
If you want to mention before we get into the game.
Speaker 1:
1:18:18
I've been playing way too much Overwatch lately. I've always said the game is super fun, but the people who play it are not, and so once I discovered custom games in arcade mode, where the non-awful people play, I'm having a much better time Maybe we need to jump back into Overwatch.
Speaker 3:
1:18:39
Eric's not playing anything other than Helldivers.
Speaker 4:
1:18:41
And Baldur's Gate 3.
Speaker 3:
1:18:46
Are you playing Baldur's Gate 3 as much as it's playing you?
Speaker 5:
1:18:51
Or is Autoplay playing it for you?
Speaker 4:
1:18:55
Honestly, it would have better results than what I'm doing.
Speaker 3:
1:19:00
I try so hard because everyone else is yelling at Eric and I'm like Eric, is this what you mean? And he'll be like I don't know. Eric, I'm trying to help you so bad, they'll share play. And I'll be like Eric, is this trying to help you? So bad, they'll share play.
Speaker 4:
1:19:14
And I'll be like Eric, is this what you mean? It just doesn't happen. My brother keeps asking me do you want to be a good guy or a bad guy? And I'm just like yes. And he's literally telling me you're doing good guy dialogue, but you've killed more people than all my playthroughs so far and I'm like I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1:
1:19:32
Eric, you're the dream like game tester, Cause you stress test all these devs. You're doing things nobody plans for, oh for sure.
Speaker 3:
1:19:40
Somebody is sitting there watching and they're like what fuck is this playthrough Right? You're like an anomaly. They're all getting together in a conference room and discussing what's going on with your save.
Speaker 4:
1:19:55
Mine are really quick, I'm just going to throw them out there. Phil, we had a laugh over this earlier. So for our audience, it was just funny to see Tesla recalling every Cybertruck over the faulty accelerator pedal. So anytime we could talk shit about the Cybertruck, we'll do that. So anytime we can talk shit about the Cybertruck, we'll do that. And then the only other thing that, phil, I think you put this in the Discord Was that there is an Oldboy TV series in the work With the original director Park Chan-wook. Very interested to see what happens with that Oldboy. A fantastic movie.
Speaker 3:
1:20:22
Family film.
Speaker 4:
1:20:23
Very curious.
Speaker 3:
1:20:24
Yes, it's on.
Speaker 4:
1:20:25
Netflix. Watch it with your family, Whole family. Bring them along. Don't do that.
Speaker 5:
1:20:30
But those are my two quick throwaway stories that we didn't get to today jg my, yeah, my throwaway story is city skylines 2, a game that I picked up in fantasy critic last year.
Speaker 5:
1:20:42
Um dlc came out uh this year, uh, dlc just came out, which has been branded the worst DLC ever period of all games that have ever existed, and it has been rescinded from Steam and refunds have been given. It has been that bad. This game had a terrible launch Paradox. The publisher of the game has been issuing statements right and left of company jargon about why this game was bad, but at the end of the day, um, they proved that it could make a good game in the first city skyline. But, um, this is just the latest example of a game that is just underbaked and was pushed out far earlier than it should have been, and it's a real bummer, um, because, like this isn't a very popular game genre and so it it just takes one bad game to send the genre back into the dark ages.
Speaker 3:
1:21:40
So it's a bummer to see yeah, jay, you and I have a obviously a vested interest in those, in any type of builder. Yes, so that's definitely not great to hear. So, uh, mine was also video game related and that a triple a invincible game is in development. At skybound. They started a crowd funding uh that raised, I think, about 18 million dollars in uh in funds. They're looking to raise an additional 5 million um and um, yeah, it looks like it is is off to the races, so I'm interested to see what type of game they would develop. When it comes to Invincible, eric, I know that's obviously you know you couldn't get into the show, definitely wasn't your bag, but I think as far as a game, it has quite a bit of potential. I just hope it's not a fighting game. Like you know, I don't want a Marvel vs Capcom style Invincible game or anything like that. Marvel vs Capcom style invincible game or anything like that.
Speaker 4:
1:22:30
Yeah, because you'd never pick Mark. You'd never pick Mark.
Speaker 3:
1:22:34
No, I'm going to pick Omni-Man. He is our ruler and our savior, so that's who I want.
Speaker 5:
1:22:38
Just need to buy the latest Mortal Kombat.
Speaker 4:
1:22:42
I can't see any version of that game where it's fun, where you're not just a punching bag going through some type of training montage because you're going to need it.
Speaker 3:
1:22:49
So my Hero.
Speaker 2:
1:22:50
Academia, that's different, it's not different, it's not different. You know it's not different and I really enjoyed my Hero Academia.
Speaker 3:
1:22:59
You know, it's not any different.
Speaker 1:
1:23:00
Anyway, could I have one last quick mention story, something a little bit more timely. I want to shout out Caitlin Clark. Hell yeah, she's outselling several NFL teams total jersey sales from the last year. It's just, it's absolutely insane. I had a friend who is as disinterested in sports as you could possibly be and he asked me about Caitlin Clark. So it's just so exciting. It's just incredible. I think it's super cool. I know I'm going to be following the WNBA. I hope a lot of other people are going to too.
Speaker 3:
1:23:32
I was going to be following the WNBA. I hope a lot of other people are going to too. I was going to say I'll tell you this, the other night when wrestling was on Eric, I wasn't watching wrestling, I was watching the WNBA draft One. I wanted the Dallas Wings to draft Angel Reese. They didn't. They had two opportunities to draft Angel Reese and I think they didn't. I wanted them to draft Angel Reese and Nika Mule. They had the opportunity to get both of them. They didn't draft either one of them. Much like my Dallas Mavericks. They drafted some overseas player I've never heard of, so hopefully that pans out in a couple of years.
Speaker 4:
1:24:02
Yeah, they just drafted two Lukas.
Speaker 5:
1:24:03
No, I don't think so It'll sort of work out, exactly the same.
Speaker 3:
1:24:08
I don't think so, but also just to shout out the WNBA, let's get Asia Wilson a signature shoe. We are certainly past that, but yeah, good, shout out there, eli.
Speaker 4:
1:24:16
WNBA talk. All right, so this is a great transition. We're going to go over the entire WrestleMania card. And that's going to be our trivia. It's who won.
Speaker 3:
1:24:26
There we go, there we go.
Speaker 5:
1:24:28

I just ask that you wait for me to finish reading the question before you buzz in and we will go from there. Does everybody have buzzers on their phone or has it not shown up yet? It might show up when I hit begin game.
Speaker 4:
1:26:57

Speaker 3:
1:27:34
Okay, categories are Also. Jay, you get to go first. You won the wheel. You gave so much grief to the wheel.

1:27:42
Objective the wheel ended up.
Speaker 3:
1:27:47
Best and worst of 2023. Sony's Supremacy Dynomite, which is all questions about Jurassic Park and Jurassic World and oh my god, fuck. Yeah. And Sportsball, which is all questions about video game, sports video games.
Speaker 5:

1:28:27
Eric is also a big Jurassic fan. I think Eric can maybe snag a couple of these.
Speaker 4:
1:28:33
I think this game is just catered to everybody except Eli.
Speaker 1:
1:28:35
Yeah, I don't think this is going to go well. That's the only thing I care about is crushing.
Speaker 5:
1:28:40
Eli, I've already crushed Eric's spirit in this episode.
Speaker 1:
1:28:44
So Eli's my only remaining target. You should know you can't crush my spirit, you fool. You can't silence this laugh.
Speaker 2:
1:28:56
All right.
Speaker 3:
1:28:58

1:30:03
I watch Eli go like this. That's my fault.
Speaker 3:
1:30:05
That is my fault.
Speaker 4:
1:30:06
And I heard it the first time, I was like maybe nobody cares. That's my bad. We'll be in April 2028. What did I miss before Phil learns to turn the sound off?

Speaker 1:
1:31:32

Speaker 3:
1:31:42
I think you can press it as soon as it turns red right. Phil, I've never been on your side.
Speaker 5:
1:31:49
No, my understanding was that I can press the button as soon as it shows that I can on my phone. I just can't say it. I just can't say it while he's still talking.
Speaker 1:
1:31:58
That's how. I've been playing I thought it was until Phil was done talking.
Speaker 3:
1:32:01
Let's do it. Let's do it that way.

1:32:02
So until.

Okay, there's no way to enforce this.
Speaker 2:
1:32:10
There really isn't, I just have to trust you guys.
Speaker 5:
1:32:13
I feel like the only way is through the app itself, like when it actually goes.
Speaker 2:
1:32:17
Eli, I would say when it's red, yeah, the second it turns, that's fine.
Speaker 1:
1:32:21
I thought this was something different. I'm totally fine with that.
Speaker 4:
1:32:23

It instantly entered my brain and then I hit it and I was like, oh no, it was a packing game, it doesn't count.
Speaker 3:
1:37:35
And I panicked for a second. I almost went back. I think it's like number five or number six.

I'm going to give you five more seconds, six, oh, not in the god of war series I'm gonna give you five more seconds um six.

1:38:42
I was like what is the other game?
Speaker 5:
1:38:44
yeah, so oh yeah, if it wasn't five, I knew there wasn't less than five, so I I was like six.
Speaker 1:
1:38:50

Speaker 1:
1:41:19
I don't want to do my thing, my one thing.
Speaker 3:
1:41:24
Best, worst or greatest. This PC game was caught up in a ton of controversy for being a total scam and was shut down days after release Eli the day before.
Speaker 1:
1:41:35
The day before we're coming back.
Speaker 2:
1:41:38
We're so back, we're so back.
Speaker 5:
1:41:40
Give me 400. All you're doing is stealing Eric's point.
Speaker 3:
1:41:44
How many Academy Awards did Oppenheimer win? Eli Eight. Oh shit, it was seven. I could have sworn it was eight.
Speaker 1:
1:41:55
No, I was a Hail Mary.
Speaker 2:
1:41:58
That was a pretty close guess though.
Speaker 3:
1:42:01
That was my bad. I hit that.
Speaker 1:
1:42:03
I definitely thought it was eight. I said that with such confidence.
Speaker 5:
1:42:07
Yeah, I was on board. I was like yeah, man.
Speaker 3:
1:42:10
I fucked up there. I'll just give everybody points we're going to put.
Speaker 4:
1:42:12
Eli back? Well, not, jay.
Speaker 3:
1:42:14
Well, not Jay. I'll give Jay 300. What the fuck is this? Let's get everybody to where we can at least do. I'm so sorry, Jay, Sorry Jay.
Speaker 1:
1:42:23
Jay, jay. Is the game integrity ruined for you, Jay.
Speaker 4:
1:42:30
Yes, yes, you want to start over yeah, let's run it back new questions all right.
Speaker 3:
1:42:36
Last one the iconic. This iconic franchise won a grammy for best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media. So we're looking for the name of the game that won best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media in oh yeah, 2023. Yeah, um, so we're looking for the name of the game that won best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media oh yeah 2023.
Speaker 5:
1:42:58
Yeah, come on, music, man what are you thinking? No, I heard it's going into his mind palace. Except Eli's is just a mind hut.
Speaker 1:
1:43:10
No, it's a mind.
Speaker 3:
1:43:11
Oh, eric sorry mind hipster cafe.
Speaker 4:
1:43:13
Was it Final Fantasy?
Speaker 1:
1:43:14
No.
Speaker 3:
1:43:18
It's a good guess.
Speaker 4:
1:43:20
Am I in the negative? Oh man.
Speaker 3:
1:43:22
Yes.
Speaker 1:
1:43:24
I don't think I'm going to guess because I want to end the game positive Jay you want to give that a guess?
Speaker 5:
1:43:36
positive jay, you want to. You want to give that a guess. Um for other the interactive.
Speaker 3:
1:43:38
I guess other interactive media is probably just like part of their. It's just part of the title. Yeah, don't don't worry about that, don't don't think too much about that.
Speaker 5:
1:43:43
Um what games came out last year? Um.
Speaker 3:
1:43:51
Um I yeah. I don't know this one. It was star Wars, Jedi survivor.
Speaker 1:
1:43:58
I never would have guessed that I'll put.
Speaker 3:
1:44:00
Eric back at a hundred, so you can wager $100.
Speaker 4:
1:44:03
Yeah.
Speaker 3:
1:44:04
We've never gotten through this where everybody is in the positive, so we're still waiting for that to uh to happen. So, uh, do you get to wager now, or, uh, is it letting you wager right now? What's it? What's it doing so?
Speaker 1:
1:44:17
oh, I have a valid wager yep, I'm gonna do 100.
Speaker 4:
1:44:21
Jay put it all up it's weird.
Speaker 5:
1:44:27
It's not letting me put letters in here. I can't put. Spin that wheel.
Speaker 3:
1:44:34
Is that how?
Speaker 5:
1:44:34
that's supposed to work, no.
Speaker 3:
1:44:35
I don't believe so $3,000. You could wager $28,000 and still win.
Speaker 2:
1:44:46
Unless you do something really stupid. You have to try to lose.
Speaker 3:
1:44:57
Hans Zimmer has composed some of the greatest films ever made. Which disney classic sits as the highest grossing film he's ever composed. So we're looking for which movie that he has composed has the highest grossing in terms of box office I don't have a buzzer, it just says wait for the winner yeah, no, it's fine.
Speaker 5:
1:45:11
Yeah, mine also says, wait for the winner.
Speaker 3:
1:45:12
Yeah, mine also says wait for winner, that's fine. No, you guys will all give your, does it? Let you write out an answer.
Speaker 4:
1:45:18
No, no, that would be a nice. We've always had to do this verbally.
Speaker 3:
1:45:21
I was going to say that would be a nice feature. They should definitely add that, okay.
Speaker 4:
1:45:25
I think we just all say our answers, so one at a time, and then you reveal what it is.
Speaker 3:
1:45:29
Let's display the wagers, Wager 69. Which do you got? Eli wagered a dollar and Eric wagered it all.
Speaker 4:
1:45:40
How did I wager the?
Speaker 3:
1:45:40
most Eric? What was your answer? The Lion King. Okay, eli.
Speaker 1:
1:45:46
The Lion King.
Speaker 3:
1:45:47
Jay.
Speaker 5:
1:45:48
The Lion King.
Speaker 3:
1:45:51
Well done Everybody. The Lion King, jay, the Lion King. Well done everybody. The Lion King is the correct answer.
Speaker 4:
1:45:57
Who could be the?
Speaker 3:
1:45:58
winner.
Speaker 5:
1:46:06
You know, I really have a lot of people to thank. You know, my parents for showing me Jurassic Park at a really young age. My PlayStation tattoo for instilling me with Sony knowledge. But I think primarily I want to thank Phil for catering this quiz for me, so I appreciate that and my button mashing skills to press the button faster than Eric.
Speaker 4:
1:46:31
Phil, is this like the playlist, where it's either volume or accuracy or quantity or whatever? Did you just, in the feedback of improving the questions, did you just completely forget to check your audience on the categories? I felt like you could have gotten some of the Jurassic questions. Well, no, because Jay was a fucking madman.
Speaker 3:
1:46:52
You also said Velociraptor noise thing.
Speaker 1:
1:46:57
Whatever your answer was, I'm a little bit salty. I misheard the rules. I waited for you to finish talking. That's my fault, but I'm a little bit through a question man. I really wanted the chance to just one-up Jay. That would have been so satisfying. About Jurassic Park, just the salt levels. I just wanted that.
Speaker 3:
1:47:19
Well, when we run it back after Super Ragabro, season 7, what did I miss? I'll cater to the questions. I'm sorry I didn't put the lighthouse category in there.
Speaker 1:
1:47:30
I should have rolled with it, I'll give the questions. I'm sorry, I didn't put the lighthouse category in there. I should have rolled with it.
Speaker 3:
1:47:34
I'll give one category to everybody, just so we can at least end in the positives. So that's what I need to start doing. There you go. Eric's category will be whiny my Hero Academia characters, and it will be one answer for all five, all five.
Speaker 4:
1:47:52
I don't know where all this my Hero slander, came from.
Speaker 3:
1:47:54
Your wall. It looks like All Might threw up on it.
Speaker 4:
1:48:01
And.
Speaker 3:
1:48:04
You couldn't have. I know you have more variety, but it's like off-camera, but what we see is All Might here.
Speaker 4:
1:48:13
Yeah, it's like off camera, so it's like, but what we see is all my hero.
Speaker 3:
1:48:15
Yeah, it's pretty good, pretty good, I think jay eli, thank you for putting up with this madness and for coming on what? What I I knew was going to be a really fun time. We appreciate you bringing the stories and for participating in the game. So one more time, either one of you let us know about Super Raccoon Bros or anything else you want to plug before we get out of here. Eric, get All Might out of here.
Speaker 2:
1:48:43
Why is that the?
Speaker 3:
1:48:44
second time. You've brought All Might into. You've done that before. He's not even here. He's getting another funko sorry jay, you were, you were about to yeah yeah, super bracket bros, man, it's.
Speaker 5:
1:49:01
It's a pretty good show. You should listen to it sometime. Um, we're in the middle of season six. I'm I'm working hard on it, I promise, um and we're we're doing fun, cool things. Come hang out with us while we play some tabletop RPGs and breaking them completely, not playing them the way that they were meant to be, by forcing our guests to take place in a 1v1 combat against each other. It's a good time Lots of laughs, lots of goofs. Definitely come over and visit Super Bracket Bros.
Speaker 5:
1:49:37
I'll plug something interesting that me and Eli are doing outside of Super Bracket Bros.
Speaker 5:
1:49:42
Next month, I volunteer at a local radio station called WRTFM and they do a public access hour where they'll just let anybody on the radio and talk about whatever they want for an hour, and me and Eli have signed up to do a music show, and so we are bringing we're calling it internet back on the radio. So you know, you've been getting your radio on the internet for all these years, but we're taking the internet and putting it on the radio. We're taking content creators that make music that are primarily found on YouTube, twitch and via podcasts. We're taking that music and we're putting it on the radio waves and you can listen online, even if you don't live in the Madison Wisconsin area. That's going to be Memorial Day, so come listen to us live at 7 pm on Memorial Day. It's going to be a lot of fun, and I've had a lot of fun putting together the playlist with Eli, who's if this episode is evidence of anything, knows much more about music than I do.
Speaker 3:
1:50:46
And he's very good at talking. It's just an hour and 18 minutes of Cowboy Carter.
Speaker 1:
1:50:48
Well, it's crazy, the first pitch Jay pitched to. Wart was just us talking about jurassic park for an hour yeah they counter-offered they.
Speaker 5:
1:50:59
They said you know, well, we'll let you on um, but you do have to do something that's interesting to more than three people.
Speaker 3:
1:51:05
So um, but um, yeah, no uh come come love that tune in live, yeah.
Speaker 1:
1:51:12
Yeah, if you guys are fans of Brian David Gilbert, we're going to be playing a bunch of his music. Worthy Kids, a popular animator, Louis Zong, some of just our favorite YouTube comedians, essayists, Twitch streamers, podcasts, people who make music for podcasts so, yeah, it'll be a great way to find out more content creators and musicians you might be a fan of. I know we discovered a few new favorites in this one and we're really happy to share with you guys.
Speaker 5:
1:51:41
Yeah exactly yeah.
Speaker 3:
1:51:43
That's awesome. I love that. Is this an hour in which you can take phone calls, because I think somebody in here might want to call and sabotage that one hour. Take phone calls because I think somebody in here might want to call and sabotage that one hour.
Speaker 5:
1:51:54
We can, but I will be behind the board, and so I will reserve the right to deny.
Speaker 3:
1:51:59
If you see a 904 number come up, do not answer it yeah absolutely not.
Speaker 1:
1:52:04
Don't answer it 2024,.
Speaker 4:
1:52:07
Baby, you can make a number out of thin air. I got you.
Speaker 3:
1:52:10
That's true.
Speaker 5:
1:52:15
Man, we just got caller ID on the new boards. We got at the station so I'll see that from a thousand miles away. Do you have a producer that?
Speaker 3:
1:52:22
will screen the call. Whenever you call into a radio station, they ask what do you want to request first, so you don't go on there and be like fuck her right in the pussy. That's me.
Speaker 5:
1:52:31
That is my job.
Speaker 2:
1:52:32
That is going to be me.
Speaker 5:
1:52:34
You will talk to me, I will recognize your voice and I will hang up, eric.
Speaker 4:
1:52:39
I'll just have a voice modifier and then I'll also turn it into that meme where it's like hello. I have a question Do you know about John Cena?
Speaker 3:
1:52:48
No, let's talk about WWE Super Slam. Do you support our troops? Well then, you support John Cena when he faces off against the Undertaker.
Speaker 4:
1:53:07
It's just going to be an hour of that.
Speaker 3:
1:53:11
Boy, what a dated corner of the internet that is.
Speaker 4:
1:53:15
I want that added. I want that added in Postville. I'll put it in I got you, I got you.
Speaker 5:
1:53:20
Well, he's going to spend 15 minutes editing this episode, and that's going to be what he does.
Speaker 3:
1:53:26
Yeah, well, that is your wall.
Speaker 1:
1:53:27
Yeah, I leave in all the slander about Jay's wall yeah that. And the wall that's right yeah that and Jay's wall Eric.
Speaker 3:
1:53:34
