y'all, can everyone hear me? 26:45.699 --> 26:46.039 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm in. 26:46.921 --> 26:47.782 [SPEAKER_01]: Cool. 26:48.183 --> 26:50.607 [SPEAKER_01]: Preston, I love Trouval Escapedes. 26:50.747 --> 26:51.829 [SPEAKER_01]: So you can podcast. 26:52.530 --> 26:55.295 [SPEAKER_01]: How'd you get the idea for a loved hear a little about that? 26:56.577 --> 26:59.342 [SPEAKER_00]: I, it was all kind of like a weird segue. 26:59.422 --> 27:02.487 [SPEAKER_00]: So fall out introduced me to the media of old. 27:02.547 --> 27:03.088 [SPEAKER_00]: So like, 27:03.068 --> 27:11.618 [SPEAKER_00]: The music, obviously, is a huge part of Fallout, but it was also Herbert Naring Dashwood from Fallout 3, my first Fallout, which was just these tiny radio plays. 27:11.738 --> 27:13.961 [SPEAKER_00]: And then I started to listen to actual radio plays. 27:14.041 --> 27:16.524 [SPEAKER_00]: I listened to one called Nick Carter, Master Detective. 27:16.965 --> 27:19.388 [SPEAKER_00]: It ran for a very long time, but people forgot about it. 27:19.548 --> 27:20.970 [SPEAKER_00]: I listened to it religiously. 27:20.990 --> 27:31.202 [SPEAKER_00]: And then I one day listened in health class all the way back in high school, a 40s radio station that played a song, which I own the record of, 27:31.182 --> 27:36.468 [SPEAKER_00]: And it reminded me of a radio intro, like a radio intro to a radio show. 27:36.488 --> 27:42.194 [SPEAKER_00]: It was just so big band era, you know, and I was like, I got to make a fall-ass show, and that's how it started. 27:42.495 --> 27:49.282 [SPEAKER_00]: So I used things like Silver Show, Nick Carter, Dragnet, et cetera, to just culminate this one show. 27:49.342 --> 27:51.645 [SPEAKER_00]: And it was a brainchild in 2014. 27:52.246 --> 27:54.889 [SPEAKER_00]: And it saw its first premiere in 2016. 27:55.249 --> 27:57.932 [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, so next year, 10 years old. 27:57.912 --> 27:59.135 [SPEAKER_02]: Wow. 27:59.195 --> 28:00.517 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 28:00.537 --> 28:01.038 [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you. 28:01.059 --> 28:01.980 [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for listening. 28:02.000 --> 28:06.109 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I need to do a great job channeling all the, you know, those vintage vibes into the show. 28:06.269 --> 28:07.953 [SPEAKER_02]: So very, very cool stuff. 28:08.394 --> 28:08.835 [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you. 28:09.115 --> 28:09.476 [SPEAKER_02]: All right. 28:09.877 --> 28:12.883 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we got to keep a move in pressing any, any final thoughts? 28:13.302 --> 28:20.792 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes, I met Laura Kane, the voice of a trudy and Red Lucy from Fallout New Vegas, and I'm not being paid, but she has this book. 28:20.812 --> 28:22.053 [SPEAKER_00]: I haven't read a book in quite a bit. 28:22.654 --> 28:23.575 [SPEAKER_00]: And I got it signed from her. 28:23.595 --> 28:24.616 [SPEAKER_00]: It's called Twin Lakes. 28:25.297 --> 28:29.082 [SPEAKER_00]: It's that's also a big highlight of the year picking up a book after God knows how many years. 28:29.322 --> 28:33.748 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's it's a sci-fi murder, mystery kind of a stranger things aspect. 28:33.768 --> 28:34.689 [SPEAKER_00]: Highly recommend that. 28:35.470 --> 28:36.492 [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, very cool. 28:36.632 --> 28:37.473 [SPEAKER_02]: I repeat the name again. 28:38.054 --> 28:39.175 [SPEAKER_00]: It's called Twin Lakes. 28:39.235 --> 28:43.140 [SPEAKER_00]: It's her first of a chronological series. 28:43.120 --> 28:44.069 [SPEAKER_02]: Very cool, very cool. 28:44.089 --> 28:45.037 [SPEAKER_02]: Ben, did you want to chime in? 28:45.320 --> 28:45.925 [SPEAKER_02]: I saw your hand. 28:46.698 --> 28:52.964 [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, um, just with the, because this was the good springs one, not the faint was this the fan. 28:53.484 --> 28:55.686 [SPEAKER_00]: This event that they have a second one. 28:55.906 --> 28:57.748 [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, good springs fan celebration. 28:58.068 --> 28:58.268 [SPEAKER_09]: Right. 28:58.509 --> 28:58.609 [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. 28:58.629 --> 29:00.010 [SPEAKER_02]: This is the Las Vegas one. 29:00.030 --> 29:05.235 [SPEAKER_09]: They just announced the West Virginia one, which is near my neck of the woods. 29:05.315 --> 29:06.376 [SPEAKER_09]: It's like, hmm, yep. 29:06.656 --> 29:08.257 [SPEAKER_09]: You can actually drive to this one. 29:08.458 --> 29:08.658 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 29:08.898 --> 29:09.038 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 29:09.058 --> 29:10.019 [SPEAKER_02]: There's going to be two a year. 29:10.039 --> 29:12.601 [SPEAKER_02]: There's going to be one in Las Vegas and then one in West Virginia. 29:12.741 --> 29:16.705 [SPEAKER_02]: So you can kind of, 29:16.685 --> 29:18.111 [SPEAKER_02]: So, very cool. 29:18.131 --> 29:18.773 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, thanks, Preston. 29:19.416 --> 29:19.938 [SPEAKER_02]: No problem. 29:20.319 --> 29:21.845 [SPEAKER_02]: Alright, who would like to go next? 29:22.227 --> 29:23.893 [SPEAKER_02]: I see Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam. 29:24.110 --> 29:32.860 [SPEAKER_11]: Hey, so yeah, we've been talking a lot about real space stuff and I'm going to take it back into like super nerdy dumb. 29:32.880 --> 29:34.562 [SPEAKER_11]: So do it. 29:34.582 --> 29:35.543 [SPEAKER_02]: Knock it out. 29:36.324 --> 29:42.110 [SPEAKER_11]: I've been spending a lot of time inside as one does when you become a parent. 29:42.571 --> 29:44.112 [SPEAKER_11]: I became a father this year. 29:45.033 --> 29:49.999 [SPEAKER_11]: But that allowed me to try out some new video games and 29:49.979 --> 29:56.649 [SPEAKER_11]: I saw this one game that kind of looked cool, but I typically stay away from dark fantasy RPGs. 29:56.789 --> 30:01.596 [SPEAKER_11]: Like, if it's too dark, if it's too horrific, it's just not really my cup of tea. 30:01.616 --> 30:03.699 [SPEAKER_11]: That kind of pushed me away from like, Elder Ring. 30:04.901 --> 30:09.388 [SPEAKER_11]: But, Tainted Grail, the fall of Avalon, is incredible. 30:09.848 --> 30:12.212 [SPEAKER_02]: I've heard a lot about it, and I've almost picked it up. 30:12.392 --> 30:16.037 [SPEAKER_02]: It is very much an Elder Scrolls like, I think you could probably say, right? 30:16.759 --> 30:19.142 [SPEAKER_02]: I tried the demo, but that's as far as I got. 30:19.375 --> 30:23.441 [SPEAKER_11]: It pulls a lot of lore from Eastern European folklore. 30:23.561 --> 30:28.487 [SPEAKER_11]: So like, if you liked the Witcher, you will probably like the fall of Avalon. 30:29.248 --> 30:37.159 [SPEAKER_11]: It's also, it's, the whole premise is like a dark retelling of Arthurian legends, like King Arthur in the Knights of the Roundtable. 30:37.179 --> 30:38.181 [SPEAKER_02]: That's Avalon, right? 30:38.201 --> 30:39.462 [SPEAKER_02]: That's the piece of it. 30:39.883 --> 30:39.983 [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah. 30:39.963 --> 30:50.195 [SPEAKER_11]: And for me, like I think King Arthur is cool, but if I'm just being honest, I don't know anything at all about Arthurian legends, right? 30:50.215 --> 30:52.778 [SPEAKER_11]: I just like the vibe and the aesthetic is cool. 30:53.579 --> 30:55.402 [SPEAKER_11]: So I went into that knowing nothing. 30:55.842 --> 31:06.595 [SPEAKER_11]: And even so, it's really, it's a great game because 31:06.575 --> 31:07.617 [SPEAKER_11]: every nook and cranny. 31:07.637 --> 31:16.751 [SPEAKER_11]: Where it's not just cool loot and unique items with unique art with those items that you'll find, but it's really hilarious quests as well. 31:17.352 --> 31:29.612 [SPEAKER_11]: Like for example, I just did this quest yesterday where I'm walking through a town and this lady comes up and approaches me and asks me to help her find her husband. 31:30.048 --> 31:32.372 [SPEAKER_11]: And like, okay, this sounds like a run of the bill quest, right? 31:32.712 --> 31:38.942 [SPEAKER_11]: But it's not because apparently she had been feeling like her husband was drifting out of love with her. 31:39.783 --> 31:50.079 [SPEAKER_11]: And so she had heard tales of a witch in the fields and that she'd have to go meet that witch at midnight and that the witch would always grant one wish. 31:50.820 --> 31:56.950 [SPEAKER_11]: So she told the witch that she wished her husband would be happy with her again. 31:56.930 --> 31:57.472 [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. 31:58.235 --> 32:04.662 [SPEAKER_11]: And the witch gave her a potion and the potion turned him into a pig. 32:06.734 --> 32:11.020 [SPEAKER_02]: This is straight out of like, Grim's fairy tales, like the original ones or something. 32:11.040 --> 32:11.982 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 32:12.202 --> 32:19.613 [SPEAKER_11]: So he becomes a pig and the witch is justification when you meter is that while he's just happy as a pig and mud, there you go. 32:19.933 --> 32:20.674 [SPEAKER_11]: He's happy again. 32:20.694 --> 32:21.175 [SPEAKER_11]: I did it. 32:21.956 --> 32:32.151 [SPEAKER_11]: And you can talk to him which is hilarious because he's like doing these pig grunts in the like the voice the voice actors do with pig grunts in between the lines and it's so well done. 32:32.131 --> 32:43.808 [SPEAKER_11]: And he still talks even though he's a pig that's a great well the the which will like cast a spell based Okay, you can converse with him because it turns out he went to go live with the witch And he's happy there. 32:44.489 --> 32:44.709 [SPEAKER_11]: He's happy. 32:44.729 --> 32:45.310 [SPEAKER_11]: He's happier. 32:45.350 --> 32:55.405 [SPEAKER_11]: He's happier as a pig He does not want you to turn him back So it becomes isn't even ethical to turn this guy back into a human against his will 32:55.385 --> 33:10.440 [SPEAKER_11]: right right that's it's also very you're right it's very witchery there's a lot of quests and witcher games that are kind of like that too yeah yeah there's multiple branching ways that quest can end ultimately the quest doesn't really matter you can skip over it but 33:10.505 --> 33:26.657 [SPEAKER_11]: Effectively, if you want to be chaotic, you can tell the witch that I want them to be together again, and the witch will say, okay fine, well, just convince the wife to wear this bracelet and she'll become a pig too. 33:26.637 --> 33:29.023 [SPEAKER_02]: That thing ever goes back the way you expected. 33:29.103 --> 33:30.667 [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, yeah, that's great. 33:30.727 --> 33:36.481 [SPEAKER_11]: So yeah, then you have to deceive or but anyway, yeah, it's a great game Very much enjoying it. 33:37.062 --> 33:41.693 [SPEAKER_11]: I saw you had it on a wish list Yes, so yeah, definitely suggested 33:41.673 --> 33:44.277 [SPEAKER_02]: I tried the demo a while ago, it released. 33:44.337 --> 33:53.753 [SPEAKER_02]: It was still kind of, I mean, it was official release, but I heard that it was still a little buggy and by the third act, the game kind of needs a little bit more work. 33:53.973 --> 34:02.888 [SPEAKER_02]: And so I've been holding off because my thing is, if I buy it, I will play through the parts that I can play through now and then they will update it. 34:02.868 --> 34:07.415 [SPEAKER_02]: and then I won't go back and play the updated stuff because I'll be on to whatever the next thing. 34:07.435 --> 34:09.979 [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm kind of just waiting for the right moment to jump in. 34:09.999 --> 34:12.703 [SPEAKER_02]: But I know that they announced some other big updates. 34:12.783 --> 34:14.145 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's just like the last week or two. 34:14.305 --> 34:15.768 [SPEAKER_02]: So it might be the best time. 34:15.788 --> 34:17.390 [SPEAKER_11]: I just put out a free DLC yesterday. 34:17.470 --> 34:18.352 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah. 34:18.372 --> 34:20.415 [SPEAKER_02]: And so it might be time to jump in for me. 34:20.455 --> 34:22.738 [SPEAKER_02]: But I saw Wasteland Ronan had a question for you. 34:23.239 --> 34:24.321 [SPEAKER_02]: What do you want to know? 34:24.341 --> 34:28.487 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, so who inherits the property after they've become a pig? 34:28.737 --> 34:32.724 [SPEAKER_07]: because this is a technically they're out of their like, you know, ownership of the land. 34:32.744 --> 34:35.089 [SPEAKER_07]: So if they both become pigs, then it's just a free property. 34:35.489 --> 34:37.553 [SPEAKER_11]: So that it's funny. 34:37.593 --> 34:47.151 [SPEAKER_11]: You should bring that up because there's a different quest in which you can basically arrange things so that you have a family leave and then you just take their home. 34:47.131 --> 34:51.978 [SPEAKER_11]: Like, so you can play it like that if you want, let's have like a little. 34:52.639 --> 34:55.243 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm kidding, I didn't actually come in that way. 34:55.263 --> 34:56.125 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's that's hilarious. 34:56.686 --> 35:00.852 [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, a little bit of old school, like more wins, imminent domain action. 35:01.212 --> 35:10.827 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, I've heard there's a lot of influence from, and it does feel like the game, the kind of game that's a little bit more old school Bethesda, but also, you know, a little bit witcher, a little bit other stuff. 35:11.077 --> 35:12.321 [SPEAKER_02]: Any other questions for Sam? 35:12.361 --> 35:15.009 [SPEAKER_02]: Anybody else have any questions about this or has tried it? 35:15.491 --> 35:21.148 [SPEAKER_06]: So for Sam, like, this is Crown, by the way, from the 10th Divine Podcast. 35:21.168 --> 35:25.120 [SPEAKER_06]: And for Sam, my question would you recommend becoming a parent? 35:27.277 --> 35:34.495 [SPEAKER_11]: It's so funny because when I was reading the topic right like of what's something that you've done or happened to you and you've enjoyed. 35:35.136 --> 35:40.148 [SPEAKER_11]: I was like, oh, well, you know, I got to talk about having, you know, a child like my first child. 35:40.549 --> 35:44.880 [SPEAKER_11]: And then I read the next part, which was and something that you'd recommend for others to do. 35:46.328 --> 35:47.410 [SPEAKER_11]: I don't know. 35:47.450 --> 35:49.172 [SPEAKER_11]: That's a guess and a no. 35:49.533 --> 35:50.915 [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, only do it if you're ready. 35:50.955 --> 36:00.248 [SPEAKER_11]: If you're absolutely ready because even if you're 150% ready There's gonna be moments after you have that child where you're like, I don't know if I was ready. 36:00.669 --> 36:03.613 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't think anyone is ready and No, exactly. 36:03.834 --> 36:07.839 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, as a father of four, with like a tech-your-age gap in some of that. 36:08.060 --> 36:09.602 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah 36:09.582 --> 36:10.965 [SPEAKER_06]: You're never really ready. 36:11.225 --> 36:12.628 [SPEAKER_06]: Nope, there's always a curve ball. 36:12.949 --> 36:15.394 [SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, I think there's lots of rewards from us. 36:15.414 --> 36:17.638 [SPEAKER_02]: Single most life-changing event. 36:17.919 --> 36:20.384 [SPEAKER_02]: Like I've lost jobs, I've lost family members. 36:20.825 --> 36:23.450 [SPEAKER_02]: I've gained things, I've gotten married, I've, you know, had kids. 36:23.490 --> 36:29.683 [SPEAKER_02]: I think having a child is about the most, yeah, the most life-changing we can possibly do. 36:29.798 --> 36:50.727 [SPEAKER_02]: without hyperbole the day my son was born the moment he was born happiest moment of my life yeah yeah yeah yeah and some of that stuff yeah it just will never compare and then you'll see old pictures pop up on on your phone or whatever and you'd be like oh my god I can't believe it's been so long yeah it's crazy crazy well say I'm any less thoughts or anything else you want to share 36:50.993 --> 36:58.604 [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I saw a tainted grail fall of Avalon on sale for like, I want to say 40% off or something like that on steam. 36:58.624 --> 37:01.868 [SPEAKER_11]: So I think it's only 20 bucks right now, something like that. 37:02.269 --> 37:02.369 [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. 37:02.389 --> 37:03.651 [SPEAKER_11]: Anyway, go try it out. 37:03.711 --> 37:09.819 [SPEAKER_11]: If you're curious about it, if you like first person open world RPGs, just go try it out. 37:09.859 --> 37:11.702 [SPEAKER_11]: I think you'll you'll very much enjoy it. 37:11.969 --> 37:12.309 [SPEAKER_02]: Awesome. 37:12.510 --> 37:12.790 [SPEAKER_02]: Awesome. 37:12.810 --> 37:15.654 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm maybe I'll take it up for the holiday looking at that right. 37:15.674 --> 37:38.027 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, a lot of people I'm talking about it and man there was all sorts of buzz with the game awards where like I don't know if you guys watch certain subreddits But like the Elder Scrolls subreddits were like are they going to announce that the release date for Elder Scroll 6 and of course They got themselves all worked up and it didn't happen of course and so there are a lot of people who are just like ready for another Elder Scrolls game so 37:38.513 --> 37:39.695 [SPEAKER_01]: They'll never announce it. 37:39.775 --> 37:41.658 [SPEAKER_02]: It's never, it's never coming. 37:42.519 --> 37:43.120 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it'll come. 37:43.160 --> 37:47.987 [SPEAKER_02]: I think we're still two years off would be my guess, but we'd notice that I didn't absorb about that recently. 37:48.408 --> 37:49.429 [SPEAKER_02]: But who would like to go next? 37:49.689 --> 37:52.293 [SPEAKER_02]: Who wants to continue our conversation? 37:53.115 --> 37:54.817 [SPEAKER_02]: Crown, pass it off to Crown. 37:55.077 --> 37:56.860 [SPEAKER_02]: Another speaking of Elder Scrolls. 37:57.481 --> 37:59.203 [SPEAKER_06]: But it seemed like an appropriate segue. 37:59.223 --> 37:59.464 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 38:00.285 --> 38:01.987 [SPEAKER_06]: So my name is Crown Asso. 38:02.107 --> 38:04.250 [SPEAKER_06]: I am the host of the 10th Divine Podcast. 38:04.290 --> 38:05.492 [SPEAKER_06]: We just joined the network this year. 38:05.552 --> 38:09.076 [SPEAKER_06]: I just took over the podcast for second season from its previous host. 38:09.857 --> 38:19.590 [SPEAKER_06]: And it is in Elder Scrolls Online and Elder Scrolls General Interview based podcast for content creators and people, streamers and stuff like that. 38:19.570 --> 38:32.714 [SPEAKER_06]: This year has kind of had a theme of housing mansors, which has been fun, and then also we had a couple of people come on the show, and that kind of ties into my recommendation for everybody. 38:32.754 --> 38:33.355 [SPEAKER_06]: Get a house. 38:33.375 --> 38:34.938 [SPEAKER_06]: So, the... 38:40.869 --> 38:43.013 [SPEAKER_06]: I appreciate that, but no. 38:43.904 --> 38:56.987 [SPEAKER_06]: Along with the podcast, I also just today, partook in a live action drama production at my church, which is the first time I've done a drama production since like high school. 38:57.348 --> 38:57.528 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 38:57.949 --> 39:05.642 [SPEAKER_06]: And so my overarching theme is a recommendation, I guess, is if you're looking for something new to do, maybe. 39:06.314 --> 39:17.033 [SPEAKER_06]: Dial it back and look at what you used to do because they used to have a different podcast and it ran its course and it hadn't done podcasting and while and it's been really great getting back into the saddle for. 39:17.671 --> 39:18.753 [SPEAKER_06]: doing the 10th divine. 39:19.414 --> 39:34.077 [SPEAKER_06]: And then also this drama production that we threw together in three weeks, which was hectic was also really fun just like reconnecting with this thing that I used to do in my childhood or early adolescence. 39:34.217 --> 39:44.674 [SPEAKER_06]: And so that would be my recommendation for people is if you're looking for something new, maybe you just have to look back at what you've done before. 39:44.654 --> 39:44.874 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 39:44.894 --> 39:46.076 [SPEAKER_02]: That's a great recommendation. 39:46.738 --> 39:53.790 [SPEAKER_02]: I think that as you get older, that becomes kind of a natural thing to do, but sometimes people don't even think of it as doing it. 39:54.190 --> 39:57.276 [SPEAKER_02]: I can, I can, I don't know. 39:57.977 --> 39:58.678 [SPEAKER_02]: What's the right word? 39:59.640 --> 40:04.468 [SPEAKER_02]: coincide with your opinion on this, whatever the better term for that is. 40:04.448 --> 40:23.402 [SPEAKER_02]: For example, a few years ago, I got back into writing and recording my own music and I did a ton of that through my teens and 20s and then didn't anymore, you know, had to get a real job because I didn't get a record deal and all that, but like falling back into something that you enjoyed in your past and rediscovering it is a great thing to. 40:23.382 --> 40:24.144 [SPEAKER_02]: to do. 40:24.184 --> 40:26.849 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the chances are you're still going to enjoy it, right? 40:27.029 --> 40:30.637 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, you liked it before, you're probably going to like it again. 40:30.697 --> 40:36.028 [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that part of this is the, you know, kind of what Sam was talking about. 40:36.369 --> 40:44.445 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, you get married, you grow up, you have kids, you get a job, all other things become responsibilities, and then we just kind of retreat into the easy stuff. 40:44.425 --> 40:52.396 [SPEAKER_02]: And we said on a couch in the evenings and we watched a show or we play the same game that we've played for, you know, the last 10 years, because it's comfortable, and that's fine. 40:52.476 --> 40:59.525 [SPEAKER_02]: There's nothing wrong with that, but it also doesn't bring you that same kind of like discovery of yourself, maybe. 40:59.565 --> 41:01.267 [SPEAKER_02]: Do you think maybe? 41:02.109 --> 41:02.309 [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. 41:02.449 --> 41:03.230 [SPEAKER_05]: Is that a good way to say? 41:04.712 --> 41:04.972 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 41:04.992 --> 41:05.914 [SPEAKER_02]: So here, let's open the nut. 41:05.934 --> 41:12.222 [SPEAKER_02]: Anybody have questions for crown and getting back into that kind of, you know, so this was like a stage play thing you were doing. 41:12.775 --> 41:16.700 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it was, uh, we did our own interpretation of the three wise men. 41:17.080 --> 41:18.462 [SPEAKER_02]: Right, the Christmas guys. 41:18.522 --> 41:18.742 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 41:18.762 --> 41:19.003 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 41:19.023 --> 41:19.183 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 41:19.884 --> 41:32.019 [SPEAKER_06]: And, uh, it was, it was great in, like, just, every aspect of it and like, I barely got the mascara off my face before we recorded and maybe scratched my eye trying to. 41:32.419 --> 41:32.580 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 41:33.381 --> 41:33.601 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 41:33.661 --> 41:33.801 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 41:33.841 --> 41:34.802 [SPEAKER_02]: Stage makeup and all that. 41:34.842 --> 41:35.423 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 41:35.443 --> 41:35.543 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 41:35.563 --> 41:35.743 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 41:35.944 --> 41:41.871 [SPEAKER_02]: Anybody have questions or any, any other similar experiences of getting back into like acting and that's, that's 41:42.222 --> 41:43.864 [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody has any questions. 41:43.944 --> 41:50.133 [SPEAKER_11]: Brown, what's your favorite production that you've ever done or participated in? 41:51.115 --> 41:52.977 [SPEAKER_06]: I think it's actually going to be this one. 41:53.678 --> 42:08.179 [SPEAKER_06]: Like we had some pretty cool setups in drama class and stuff in high school, but the fact that we slapped this together in three weeks with full microphones and 42:09.087 --> 42:10.990 [SPEAKER_06]: It was just, it was so cool. 42:11.691 --> 42:14.195 [SPEAKER_06]: And also, I got to share this with my kids. 42:14.856 --> 42:16.218 [SPEAKER_06]: So they got to see me doing this. 42:16.238 --> 42:16.338 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 42:16.638 --> 42:18.681 [SPEAKER_06]: All this got to be a state hand today. 42:18.701 --> 42:19.262 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, that's fun. 42:19.382 --> 42:21.485 [SPEAKER_06]: And doing our scene changes stuff for us. 42:22.146 --> 42:23.028 [SPEAKER_06]: And he rocked it. 42:23.228 --> 42:26.994 [SPEAKER_06]: He got to practice one run through last night and then we went live with it today. 42:27.034 --> 42:29.718 [SPEAKER_06]: And he absolutely just killed it. 42:29.778 --> 42:31.160 [SPEAKER_06]: So that was awesome to see too. 42:31.701 --> 42:32.562 [SPEAKER_05]: Nice, nice. 42:33.383 --> 42:34.044 [SPEAKER_05]: Congratulations. 42:34.064 --> 42:34.885 [SPEAKER_05]: That sounds like a blast. 42:35.727 --> 42:36.067 [SPEAKER_05]: Who was? 42:36.528 --> 42:37.930 [SPEAKER_05]: Any last thoughts, Graham? 42:39.023 --> 42:39.924 [SPEAKER_05]: No, just you. 42:40.225 --> 42:40.825 [SPEAKER_05]: Merry Christmas. 42:40.885 --> 42:41.987 [SPEAKER_05]: Happy holidays, everybody. 42:42.047 --> 42:44.030 [SPEAKER_05]: And enjoy the show. 42:44.370 --> 42:44.811 [SPEAKER_02]: Awesome. 42:44.831 --> 42:45.311 [SPEAKER_02]: Awesome. 42:45.331 --> 42:45.532 [SPEAKER_05]: All right. 42:45.552 --> 42:46.373 [SPEAKER_05]: Who would like to go next? 42:46.453 --> 42:47.554 [SPEAKER_02]: We've got a few people left. 42:48.976 --> 42:49.237 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's see. 42:49.257 --> 42:52.181 [SPEAKER_02]: We've got Maverick and Wasteland Ronin and Andrew. 42:52.201 --> 42:53.062 [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, I'll go next. 42:53.162 --> 42:54.063 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Maverick go ahead. 42:54.764 --> 42:55.084 [SPEAKER_08]: Okay. 42:55.104 --> 42:57.047 [SPEAKER_08]: So hello, guys. 42:57.087 --> 42:58.189 [SPEAKER_08]: My name is Maverick Stone. 43:00.151 --> 43:01.613 [SPEAKER_08]: My real name is Jared Bush. 43:02.174 --> 43:07.381 [SPEAKER_08]: I host the, uh, fought roundtable with three other people. 43:07.461 --> 43:08.322 [SPEAKER_08]: Maybe four. 43:09.500 --> 43:14.548 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, well, you know how this stuff goes, but we're here to discussion based podcast. 43:14.568 --> 43:15.029 [SPEAKER_02]: You get it. 43:15.129 --> 43:18.955 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they tell you guys talk about fallout stuff and you get together and you come up with fun topics. 43:18.975 --> 43:19.235 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 43:19.436 --> 43:19.656 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. 43:20.598 --> 43:27.188 [SPEAKER_02]: So what was your, what was something you experienced this year that you absolutely loved and you think other people should give a shot. 43:28.028 --> 43:31.815 [SPEAKER_08]: Actually, I started watching Formula One racing. 43:32.457 --> 43:43.218 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I have a friend from a job I used to have who got into that and then even said, Hey, I can give you my log in so you can log it's expensive to be able to watch it here in the states. 43:43.258 --> 43:46.965 [SPEAKER_08]: No, it is expensive because I have a F1 TV. 43:46.945 --> 43:51.151 [SPEAKER_02]: Right, but it was the same sort of thing where you got super into it and was like, okay, you need to enjoy this too. 43:51.171 --> 43:52.473 [SPEAKER_02]: So is that, is that what happened to you? 43:52.493 --> 43:53.294 [SPEAKER_02]: You were just like, oh, man. 43:53.334 --> 43:54.816 [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly what happened. 43:54.856 --> 43:55.938 [SPEAKER_02]: That's amazing. 43:55.958 --> 44:07.093 [SPEAKER_08]: So the so the so the F one movie came out in in summer and that's when I'm like, I'm dragging my sister along with me on on this fun ride and she's finally getting into this. 44:08.054 --> 44:12.801 [SPEAKER_08]: So yeah, I have woken up at 4 a.m. Eastern to watch a grand prix. 44:13.557 --> 44:16.522 [SPEAKER_03]: Um, yeah, because it's like the middle of the night the world. 44:16.642 --> 44:16.943 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 44:17.264 --> 44:17.504 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 44:18.265 --> 44:20.509 [SPEAKER_08]: I would recommend it to everybody. 44:20.569 --> 44:20.770 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. 44:20.790 --> 44:21.531 [SPEAKER_08]: Some of these races. 44:21.651 --> 44:22.653 [SPEAKER_08]: Maybe a little dull. 44:22.693 --> 44:24.256 [SPEAKER_08]: But that's just how the track is. 44:25.278 --> 44:25.458 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 44:25.719 --> 44:34.975 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I've heard that a lot of the excitement is in the understanding of how the different drivers and teams have to jockey for position between races. 44:34.955 --> 44:48.951 [SPEAKER_02]: And then there's also the technology that goes into the cars and then the self-imposed limitations base because of the way that they have to like, everybody has to meet a certain standard, but they can't go above certain about spending or any of that kind of stuff. 44:48.971 --> 44:54.558 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know all the intricacies, but I know that that's- Yes, and I'm not going to bore you with some either because- Yeah, but is that part of the fun of it? 44:54.578 --> 44:55.819 [SPEAKER_02]: Is that, that's a stuff? 44:55.979 --> 45:02.667 [SPEAKER_08]: So many, especially, so next season, they just ended their season and Abu Dhabi two weeks ago. 45:02.647 --> 45:08.356 [SPEAKER_08]: So, and next year, we'll, they're throwing out a new set of regulation, F.A. 45:08.496 --> 45:11.741 [SPEAKER_08]: regulations, where it'll change everything completely. 45:12.382 --> 45:12.923 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 45:12.943 --> 45:13.064 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 45:13.084 --> 45:15.227 [SPEAKER_08]: Look at the car, the car's supposed to be smaller. 45:15.247 --> 45:18.813 [SPEAKER_08]: You know, like I said, I'm not going to bore you with the intricacies since there's so many. 45:18.913 --> 45:20.155 [SPEAKER_02]: But that's the draw, right? 45:20.235 --> 45:22.799 [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's the like getting into the minutia of it. 45:22.979 --> 45:23.440 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 45:23.757 --> 45:29.486 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, like this season, it was a three way battle for the hot for the driver's championship all the way to the end. 45:30.808 --> 45:36.597 [SPEAKER_08]: Like in Las Vegas Las Vegas Grand Prix happened the week after the fallout new Vegas. 45:37.358 --> 45:41.224 [SPEAKER_08]: New Vegas celebration my hotel was between turns four and five. 45:41.745 --> 45:42.486 [SPEAKER_08]: Wow, the track. 45:42.987 --> 45:46.272 [SPEAKER_08]: I have a ton of pictures if you got to see it in person. 45:46.842 --> 45:48.144 [SPEAKER_08]: I got to see the track. 45:48.225 --> 45:49.227 [SPEAKER_08]: I didn't see the track. 45:49.247 --> 45:51.691 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, he wasn't at the event wasn't there also. 45:51.832 --> 46:01.190 [SPEAKER_08]: Okay, got the event was not there is the week after so I watched on TV and I'm pointing out to my family that's like there's our hotel as they're going around the corner. 46:01.470 --> 46:02.512 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, there it is again. 46:02.532 --> 46:04.075 [SPEAKER_08]: I have pictures right there. 46:04.240 --> 46:04.981 [SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome. 46:05.522 --> 46:06.284 [SPEAKER_02]: That's that's cool. 46:06.785 --> 46:13.738 [SPEAKER_02]: I used to work in a like high-rise building in a downtown area, and the year that I was working there, they had a race. 46:13.778 --> 46:17.646 [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't F1, but it was a street race where they closed down the downtown roads. 46:18.207 --> 46:20.832 [SPEAKER_02]: But those drivers were still going like, 46:20.812 --> 46:37.707 [SPEAKER_02]: 80, 90 miles an hour on roads that you're supposed to drive 25 or 30 and we got to stand outside the fences and the cars would come directly at us and then turn like 90 degrees like break and turn like four feet away from us on the other side of the fence and it was ridiculous. 46:37.727 --> 46:38.428 [SPEAKER_02]: It was amazing. 46:38.448 --> 46:39.330 [SPEAKER_02]: I think Andrew has a question. 46:39.390 --> 46:40.693 [SPEAKER_02]: Andrew, what do you want to know? 46:41.095 --> 46:43.278 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was just, I was going to add. 46:43.318 --> 46:49.246 [SPEAKER_01]: I've also started watching, I only had time to catch the highlights of F1, but it's so cool. 46:49.546 --> 46:51.649 [SPEAKER_01]: And maybe I'm advocating the answer to this. 46:51.669 --> 47:02.984 [SPEAKER_01]: The one question I've had is, with the tracks, like, are they there all the time, or are they actually closing down streets and roads in some of these places? 47:03.745 --> 47:07.930 [SPEAKER_01]: And like, I'm just so fascinated how they create the tracks, how this works. 47:07.910 --> 47:09.794 [SPEAKER_02]: I think some of those, right? 47:09.814 --> 47:10.455 [SPEAKER_02]: Is that right, man? 47:10.475 --> 47:11.176 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, okay. 47:11.196 --> 47:16.145 [SPEAKER_08]: So yeah, some of them like like Las Vegas, for example, is is a street course. 47:16.165 --> 47:25.142 [SPEAKER_08]: So yeah, they'll they'll set up the course like weeks ahead, but they won't shut down any of the roads until like the week of the race. 47:25.242 --> 47:25.423 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 47:25.463 --> 47:30.412 [SPEAKER_02]: And then they put up a bunch of like temporary fences and barricades and then they pull them all back off. 47:30.472 --> 47:30.913 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 47:31.197 --> 47:42.969 [SPEAKER_08]: It'll take weeks after the fact that traffic was horrible while we were there trying to get to good springs, but at the same time, it was so much fun for us. 47:42.989 --> 47:43.089 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 47:43.109 --> 47:44.410 [SPEAKER_08]: Is there like, oh, loud? 47:44.751 --> 47:47.233 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, if you just live in the area of a track. 47:47.253 --> 47:48.394 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 47:48.414 --> 47:50.236 [SPEAKER_08]: When those cars are driving by, absolutely, yes. 47:50.556 --> 47:56.963 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, assuming Austin, Austin, Texas is we're a circle of the Americas is the United States Grand Prix is there. 47:57.003 --> 47:59.145 [SPEAKER_08]: That's a dedicated track. 47:59.800 --> 48:05.808 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right when I worked in the office building and they were having the race outs We there's seriously one block away from my building. 48:05.969 --> 48:18.366 [SPEAKER_02]: I was up on like the 24th floor or something But we could just hear the Like the whole time it's like then you go down there and it's just like a whole thing Yeah, absolutely Jeremy do you have you have a question? 48:18.867 --> 48:20.068 [SPEAKER_12]: I have input for this. 48:20.329 -->

[SPEAKER_12]: That's actually based in Indianapolis. 48:46.666 --> 48:51.011 [SPEAKER_02]: Indianapolis, that's from your home. 48:51.231 --> 48:53.874 [SPEAKER_12]: For those who don't know, the Indy 500 is. 48:53.914 --> 48:55.936 [SPEAKER_12]: All right, right. 48:56.056 --> 48:58.699 [SPEAKER_12]: Indy car, the Indy car series and everything like that. 48:58.759 --> 49:01.603 [SPEAKER_12]: We

cars. 49:11.435 --> 49:18.160 [SPEAKER_12]: And it's just a constant drone during gray stay and all of the days leading up to it because those cars are so loud. 49:18.682 --> 49:18.863 [SPEAKER_03]:

My name is Andrew. 51:15.920 --> 51:24.010 [SPEAKER_01]: Most of the intergalactic, parents of Prophet podcast and Ghost of Sushima, you know, say podcast as well. 51:24.551 --> 51:26.573 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'll just say one thing as background. 51:27.094 --> 51:34.082 [SPEAKER_01]: So I also, I became a parent about three years ago and in the midst of parenthood, 51:34.062 --> 51:39.529 [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't have much time for much else, and I was just finding myself a little disconnected. 51:39.549 --> 51:41.652 [SPEAKER_01]: I told all this to Tom when we first talked. 51:41.772 --> 51:49.422 [SPEAKER_01]: I was finding myself a little disconnected, just from like, you know, my childhood growing up interests, mass effect, fallout, music, all these things. 51:49.903 --> 52:03.681 [SPEAKER_01]: I started looking at podcasts, I found the mass effects, floor cast, I found fallout, floor cast, I found D&D, I found all these things, and so for the last like two, three years, I've just been listening to all these podcasts. 52:03.661 --> 52:14.605 [SPEAKER_01]: like home, it's like reconnected me with my center, my interest and everything, and I feel like everybody really needs that, some point in life, especially if you're going to your parent, but it's like a lot of people here know that. 52:15.748 --> 52:19.476 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's super crazy, and now be sitting here amongst all of you. 52:19.456 --> 52:21.759 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, as one of the chosen few. 52:23.401 --> 52:23.601 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 52:23.641 --> 52:23.842 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 52:23.882 --> 52:24.523 [SPEAKER_02]: We'll show yourself. 52:24.723 --> 52:26.365 [SPEAKER_02]: I would give yourself credit, too. 52:26.405 --> 52:32.012 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, it's one thing to listen to a bunch of creators and go, you know, one day, be really cool to do something like that. 52:32.073 --> 52:41.565 [SPEAKER_02]: It's another to actually like take the step and to start doing things, you know, because, you know, you don't know what you're capable of until you actually give it a shot. 52:42.271 --> 52:48.502 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so that in itself has also been crazy to just like launch a couple shows I've never podcasted before. 52:48.522 --> 52:51.467 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's been really cool, really awesome. 52:51.528 --> 52:53.812 [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks to everyone who inspired me to do this. 52:54.513 --> 52:56.737 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'll dive into the prompt here. 52:56.757 --> 52:59.622 [SPEAKER_01]: My the thing I would recommend from this year. 52:59.602 --> 53:04.106 [SPEAKER_01]: for everyone here in all the listeners is old video games. 53:04.707 --> 53:06.529 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'll list off a couple. 53:07.409 --> 53:15.937 [SPEAKER_01]: So I played Ghost of Yote, but immediately following that, I found this 2002 Star Wars game called The Clone Wars. 53:16.078 --> 53:16.658 [SPEAKER_01]: That's all it is. 53:16.778 --> 53:16.978 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 53:16.998 --> 53:17.999 [SPEAKER_01]: The Star Wars The Clone Wars. 53:18.700 --> 53:19.721 [SPEAKER_01]: I never heard of this game. 53:20.282 --> 53:22.904 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like a huge Star Wars person. 53:23.024 --> 53:23.905 [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't believe this. 53:23.925 --> 53:25.907 [SPEAKER_01]: I found up like two bucks on the PlayStation store. 53:26.287 --> 53:29.170 [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, you know what, let me just try this. 53:29.150 --> 53:45.074 [SPEAKER_01]: It's like shooters and your your soldiers, you're you're in the clone army, right, you're It's kind of like a tank game for the most part, um, there's there's some like on Football combat that is honestly like horrible and for the game. 53:45.094 --> 53:47.698 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, but it's also like hilariously loveable. 53:47.678 --> 53:52.506 [SPEAKER_01]: PlayStation 2, and they just like remade it for PS5, so here's what was really cool about this. 53:52.526 --> 54:00.960 [SPEAKER_01]: I went straight from Ghost of Yote to this, then I found Far Cry Primal, which was in 2016, but again, that's like nine years ago. 54:00.980 --> 54:05.147 [SPEAKER_01]: 2016 is now kind of an old game. 54:05.127 --> 54:05.748 [SPEAKER_05]: That's crazy. 54:06.309 --> 54:06.409 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 54:06.429 --> 54:06.991 [SPEAKER_01]: I know. 54:07.632 --> 54:08.053 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 54:08.794 --> 54:09.155 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 54:09.175 --> 54:09.996 [SPEAKER_01]: So I was realizing this. 54:10.177 --> 54:11.459 [SPEAKER_01]: What quantifies an old game? 54:11.780 --> 54:17.811 [SPEAKER_01]: And actually, I got the idea to launch a podcast that played the last of us again this year for my first time. 54:17.831 --> 54:18.512 [SPEAKER_01]: I was 2013. 54:18.533 --> 54:21.258 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's also kind of an old game. 54:22.039 --> 54:23.001 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 54:22.981 --> 54:25.887 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I was just, it's a Far Cry problem was awesome. 54:26.428 --> 54:29.695 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I could not, I've never even played a Far Cry game before. 54:29.895 --> 54:33.222 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's set, and yeah, it's set in 10,000 B.C. 54:33.322 --> 54:38.593 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, right as a Neolithic revolution is happening to discover your farming, creation of tools, all these things. 54:38.573 --> 54:55.596 [SPEAKER_01]: So just a super cool setting, and between like this 2002 Star Wars game, you know, far cry primal, um, I just was like, there's so many cool old gems out there, and yeah, that's my recommendation for everyone. 54:55.676 --> 54:56.197 [SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome. 54:56.257 --> 54:57.679 [SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome. 54:58.216 --> 55:06.607 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I also discovered old games again, because I launched the Retro Recall show that have been doing now for a little while and have been playing through like really old stuff. 55:06.727 --> 55:10.753 [SPEAKER_02]: We're talking like NES games from like 1988 and stuff like that. 55:11.494 --> 55:16.861 [SPEAKER_02]: And man is it like some of these games I haven't played since I was a kid and you know, I'm old. 55:17.101 --> 55:19.785 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's been like three plus decades. 55:19.765 --> 55:21.607 [SPEAKER_02]: It's since I played some of them. 55:22.027 --> 55:25.031 [SPEAKER_02]: But like going back in like that nostalgia is real, man. 55:25.231 --> 55:35.041 [SPEAKER_02]: Like both trying stuff I have in play before, like you were mentioning, but also going back and trying stuff that I like did play and I'm like, I don't really remember this whole thing very well and then being surprised by it. 55:35.662 --> 55:36.723 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a thing for sure. 55:36.783 --> 55:37.424 [SPEAKER_02]: For sure. 55:38.405 --> 55:39.246 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so let's open this up. 55:39.266 --> 55:40.567 [SPEAKER_02]: Anybody have any questions for Andrew? 55:42.149 --> 55:48.135 [SPEAKER_09]: Then you like Star Wars games and if you have a play co-tor, play co-tor. 55:49.060 --> 55:50.202 [SPEAKER_01]: already done my friend. 55:50.282 --> 55:50.782 [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you. 55:50.883 --> 55:50.983 [SPEAKER_01]: Good. 55:51.223 --> 55:51.864 [SPEAKER_09]: Good. 55:51.884 --> 55:54.508 [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, and there's a new whole Republic. 55:54.748 --> 55:55.809 [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, there's new one coming out. 55:56.711 --> 55:57.171 [SPEAKER_05]: Thank you. 55:57.191 --> 56:03.200 [SPEAKER_09]: He Hudson who did the first in the Mass Effect series and confirmed shockingly. 56:03.620 --> 56:08.187 [SPEAKER_09]: It's going to come out before 20 30 because in quote, he's getting too old. 56:08.888 --> 56:09.288 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 56:09.308 --> 56:09.469 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 56:09.489 --> 56:10.410 [SPEAKER_02]: I saw that too. 56:10.430 --> 56:10.570 [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. 56:10.590 --> 56:13.034 [SPEAKER_09]: He says it's going to be out in the next four years, which is great. 56:13.294 --> 56:13.394 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 56:13.414 --> 56:13.875 [SPEAKER_02]: That is great. 56:14.055 --> 56:14.516 [SPEAKER_02]: That is great. 56:15.217 --> 56:15.437 [SPEAKER_02]: All right. 56:15.457 --> 56:17.700 [SPEAKER_02]: Any other questions for Andrew? 56:19.047 --> 56:23.185 [SPEAKER_12]: Would you consider Minecraft an old game if you're considering last of us an old game? 56:23.265 --> 56:27.724 [SPEAKER_12]: Minecraft came out in 2011, but it keeps getting updated with bigger and bigger updates. 56:27.986 --> 56:28.568 [SPEAKER_12]: Yes. 56:28.666 --> 56:29.467 [SPEAKER_12]: Skyrim. 56:30.028 --> 56:30.248 [SPEAKER_12]: Yes. 56:30.829 --> 56:32.151 [SPEAKER_12]: Skyrim hasn't gotten an update. 56:32.171 --> 56:33.793 [SPEAKER_12]: It just gets keeps getting remastered. 56:33.993 --> 56:34.514 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, man. 56:34.594 --> 56:36.957 [SPEAKER_02]: I have to aim mine with mods all the time. 56:40.682 --> 56:50.795 [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I think there's something about, if you look at statistics on video games, this is something I like to, I almost enjoy news and information about games as much as I enjoy actually playing them. 56:51.115 --> 56:57.103 [SPEAKER_02]: But one of the things you'll notice is that the hits from like a decade ago just keep 56:57.083 --> 57:03.134 [SPEAKER_02]: which is part of why you combine that with the fact that they were like 19,000 games released on Steam this year. 57:03.796 --> 57:13.694 [SPEAKER_02]: There's just so many new games and so many of these classics are still great that we're at this point where it's like, do we really need to play a new game? 57:13.915 --> 57:15.177 [SPEAKER_02]: Not always. 57:15.157 --> 57:23.615 [SPEAKER_02]: a lot of us are just happy to go back to the old stuff or re-discovering like Andrew like you mentioned like re-discovering stuff that we didn't play initially that were great games and we're just like you know I just never get a shot. 57:24.136 --> 57:24.658 [SPEAKER_02]: It's still good. 57:25.058 --> 57:32.254 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's kind of like the movie industry right like you look back at like the old black and white pre-talky films and they're 57:32.234 --> 57:39.522 [SPEAKER_02]: They're interesting to watch, but they don't really scratch the same niche, it just like a real blockbuster movie would, right? 57:39.843 --> 57:45.950 [SPEAKER_02]: But once you get to like the 40s and 50s, all of a sudden it's like, okay, now these actually still hold up, especially the really good ones. 57:46.370 --> 57:49.273 [SPEAKER_02]: And then from that point on, a good movie is a good movie. 57:49.514 --> 57:51.216 [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't really matter when it was made. 57:51.296 --> 57:53.739 [SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like we're entering that phase of video games. 57:53.779 --> 58:01.127 [SPEAKER_02]: We're just lagging behind because games are a newer genre, I guess, or newer platform, then movies aren't right? 58:01.107 --> 58:02.650 [SPEAKER_02]: the entity think that's accurate. 58:03.732 --> 58:05.715 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would I would definitely agree with that. 58:05.896 --> 58:23.267 [SPEAKER_01]: And one of the things that like, which is just a really cool realization from this is like how much some core mechanics are what makes games one and like both far cry primal and this Star Wars Clone Wars game would crash out like the game would just crash. 58:23.247 --> 58:29.877 [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, oh yeah, that's something that certainly really happened on PS5 anymore, but he did on games back in the day. 58:30.237 --> 58:32.400 [SPEAKER_01]: But despite that, he was still so fun. 58:32.801 --> 58:51.769 [SPEAKER_01]: And even the new EA Star Wars Battlefront 2, I would argue there's things that this 2002 Star Wars game has, that the new Battlefront does not have made it more fun and more compelling for me to play, 58:52.424 --> 58:58.976 [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, I'd like to say the older Star Wars Battlefront 2 is better than the new Star Wars Battlefront 2. 59:00.399 --> 59:01.922 [SPEAKER_08]: I still play it all the time. 59:01.962 --> 59:03.284 [SPEAKER_08]: It's on my Xbox. 59:03.545 --> 59:05.108 [SPEAKER_08]: I'm probably going to play afterward done here. 59:05.789 --> 59:06.570 [SPEAKER_02]: He's inspired again. 59:06.731 --> 59:07.913 [SPEAKER_02]: Jump back in. 59:07.933 --> 59:08.234 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. 59:08.574 --> 59:08.775 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. 59:08.795 --> 59:14.365 [SPEAKER_08]: Since my fallout 76 isn't working right now, for some dumb reasons. 59:15.037 --> 59:29.198 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, sad with the new update is coming out, but anyway, yeah, yeah, I heard Star Wars Battlefront and I'm like, I have to take this moment and say the old Star Wars Battlefront 2 is better than the new one. 59:29.245 --> 59:34.532 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think a lot of us do shows about games or game series that have been around for a long time. 59:35.233 --> 59:45.506 [SPEAKER_02]: And I have a strong feeling that is the majority of our audiences would probably agree that there are certain games that they go back to and they're like, you know, it's nothing beats this still, you know? 59:45.906 --> 59:49.351 [SPEAKER_11]: And I can look at the majority of our support and this has been around a long time. 59:50.172 --> 59:52.094 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe, maybe Sergei, what were you saying? 59:52.415 --> 59:54.257 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll say, and this is my emotional support of Olivia. 59:54.277 --> 59:59.083 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:00:00.245 --> 01:00:03.637 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I'll just say just, it will games a chance, y'all. 01:00:04.139 --> 01:00:05.443 [SPEAKER_01]: Come on, you never know what you might find. 01:00:05.744 --> 01:00:06.968 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I have a question for Andrew. 01:00:07.089 --> 01:00:07.310 [SPEAKER_06]: Sure. 01:00:08.413 --> 01:00:10.862 [SPEAKER_06]: What's the next old game on your radar? 01:00:11.083 --> 01:00:12.347 [SPEAKER_06]: What's the next thing you're going to aim for? 01:00:12.445 --> 01:00:22.398 [SPEAKER_01]: Actually, like two nights ago, I started in 1997 for rock, like, yeah, no one, oh, man. 01:00:22.418 --> 01:00:30.268 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I, I, I only ever played the like 2009 rock on Xbox 360 when I was a kid and that game was awesome. 01:00:30.408 --> 01:00:34.994 [SPEAKER_01]: So again, I just saw for two bucks on the places where I was like, All right, I'll try this out. 01:00:35.015 --> 01:00:35.415 [SPEAKER_01]: And 01:00:35.395 --> 01:00:39.581 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean don't get me wrong like it's slow. 01:00:39.821 --> 01:00:40.622 [SPEAKER_01]: There's things about it. 01:00:40.642 --> 01:00:53.561 [SPEAKER_01]: We're like sometimes they don't always age well but I still find it like so fun to play and to see like this is where Turok started and there's obviously a new Turok game that is like maybe releasing in 2026. 01:00:53.901 --> 01:01:05.217 [SPEAKER_01]: So just like really cool to get that piece of history as well and ground yourself in the context of like this is the whole franchise that started as like an arcade type of game 01:01:05.197 --> 01:01:14.870 [SPEAKER_01]: And then grew over the course and now we get to live in 2026 with like, you know, PS5 and get the coolest graphics. 01:01:14.890 --> 01:01:17.198 [SPEAKER_01]: Then it's just cool to like see that journey. 01:01:17.296 --> 01:01:21.299 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that journey from, you know, Terrock being all of 16 polygons, fighting dinosaurs. 01:01:22.020 --> 01:01:23.982 [SPEAKER_02]: Into a somebody who actually looks like a real person. 01:01:25.403 --> 01:01:26.204 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:01:26.224 --> 01:01:26.364 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:01:26.384 --> 01:01:26.744 [SPEAKER_02]: That's great. 01:01:27.024 --> 01:01:28.566 [SPEAKER_01]: Those games are like, thanks Tom. 01:01:28.586 --> 01:01:29.727 [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks, Andrew. 01:01:29.747 --> 01:01:31.448 [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for, yeah, chime in in with all of that. 01:01:31.949 --> 01:01:34.471 [SPEAKER_02]: I think we're down to me and wasteland Ronin. 01:01:34.491 --> 01:01:35.392 [SPEAKER_02]: I think we're the last two. 01:01:36.072 --> 01:01:37.774 [SPEAKER_07]: Ronin, I can jump in here. 01:01:37.934 --> 01:01:38.414 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, jump in. 01:01:39.355 --> 01:01:46.341 [SPEAKER_07]: Some wasteland Ronin, I run the Metal Gear Lord cast and minor heard me on the fallout patron chats while ago. 01:01:46.321 --> 01:01:50.949 [SPEAKER_07]: this year I'm going to touch on a little bit of a podcasting and in person nerd stuff. 01:01:52.311 --> 01:01:57.960 [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, so this year I launched my Metal Gear Lorecast, which is pretty sweet to finally get that going. 01:01:57.980 --> 01:01:59.122 [SPEAKER_07]: I know that's an old community. 01:01:59.162 --> 01:02:00.104 [SPEAKER_07]: I'm trying to tap into. 01:02:00.144 --> 01:02:04.551 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like many of our shows series that's been around for a long time. 01:02:04.571 --> 01:02:06.855 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I'm playing that since it's like PS2. 01:02:06.915 --> 01:02:08.778 [SPEAKER_07]: So I'm playing that since I was six. 01:02:08.858 --> 01:02:12.885 [SPEAKER_07]: I figured it was a good time to start my own podcast on that, but 01:02:12.865 --> 01:02:25.117 [SPEAKER_07]: The other thing is we started a fallout RPG style podcast, which I won't dive too much into it because it's not ready for release But we're working on that in the background and then coming next year. 01:02:25.338 --> 01:02:38.111 [SPEAKER_07]: I'm starting a battle tech lore cast if anyone knows what that is It's also known as mech warrior or battle droids back in 1984, which Lucasfilm You know, they had to change the name because battle droid was not available. 01:02:38.331 --> 01:02:39.592 [SPEAKER_02]: So droids. 01:02:39.612 --> 01:02:39.712 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:02:40.133 --> 01:02:40.453 [SPEAKER_02]: Yep. 01:02:40.473 --> 01:02:42.535 [SPEAKER_07]: So that's coming next year 01:02:42.785 --> 01:02:49.977 [SPEAKER_07]: But for in-person, I recommend, well, first off is somebody that has spent way too much in miniature models. 01:02:51.739 --> 01:03:01.435 [SPEAKER_07]: If you want to get into D&D or some type of tabletop game, I would inform you to ease into it because it can get expensive real fast. 01:03:01.567 --> 01:03:13.382 [SPEAKER_07]: Um, but yeah, D&D we just started one of those like an actual in-person game and that was really cool and then also this year I became a demo tester for battle tech so that was pretty cool to 01:03:14.324 --> 01:03:15.567 [SPEAKER_07]: That was pretty cool to partake in. 01:03:15.587 --> 01:03:22.521 [SPEAKER_07]: It's a voluntary thing, but being one of my favorite games and having over like 300 max as miniatures. 01:03:23.322 --> 01:03:25.667 [SPEAKER_07]: I think it's about time I'd take bigger part in the game. 01:03:26.068 --> 01:03:26.990 [SPEAKER_02]: Nice, nice. 01:03:27.210 --> 01:03:32.080 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's, so you have a similar experience to Sergio, but also, 01:03:32.060 --> 01:03:58.877 [SPEAKER_02]: the idea that you can sign up as like a tester for things or to help with projects for you know games and software and things like that is a very real thing there are a lot of modding teams that are looking for people to just test out what they're doing or to learn some basic skills in order to get into stuff but there's also a lot of indie developers that would love just to help and if you if you love a thing I want to support it that's absolutely an avenue for you for sure anybody have any questions for wasteland Ronan? 01:03:59.549 --> 01:04:08.961 [SPEAKER_12]: Jeremy, so regarding the upcoming battle tech, uh, lorecast, how deep into that lore, you can get. 01:04:09.001 --> 01:04:12.666 [SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to go until there's not a single thing left to cover. 01:04:13.527 --> 01:04:14.429 [SPEAKER_07]: All of it. 01:04:14.689 --> 01:04:15.390 [SPEAKER_03]: I love that. 01:04:16.892 --> 01:04:20.557 [SPEAKER_07]: From the small screen to the Orca mech. 01:04:20.577 --> 01:04:25.303 [SPEAKER_07]: And for the people that don't know what the Orca mech is, it is a 200 ton battle mech. 01:04:25.368 --> 01:04:26.991 [SPEAKER_07]: that is just massive. 01:04:27.011 --> 01:04:34.186 [SPEAKER_07]: So everything from the greatest sand on one planet all the way to the biggest mech in the entire I think it's the biggest mech in the entire game. 01:04:34.688 --> 01:04:36.451 [SPEAKER_07]: Wow, cool cool. 01:04:36.511 --> 01:04:41.622 [SPEAKER_12]: And for those who don't know battle tech has like factions and a bunch of other stuff. 01:04:41.602 --> 01:04:48.631 [SPEAKER_12]: correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen a lot of different factions, all the different like intergalactic maps and stuff like that. 01:04:49.532 --> 01:04:55.160 [SPEAKER_12]: And it's almost the lore I believe is just a little spoiler than Warhammer. 01:04:55.320 --> 01:04:55.720 [SPEAKER_02]: Then 40k. 01:04:56.181 --> 01:04:59.525 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, two, two, but we don't have the 40k guys on, right now. 01:04:59.565 --> 01:05:03.070 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure they would have been here if they could have, but they could chime in about that. 01:05:03.050 --> 01:05:04.613 [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, that sounds really cool. 01:05:04.673 --> 01:05:15.792 [SPEAKER_02]: And I remember playing those games a long time ago, like, in all the different type models of the, you know, the maps, the different paint you could put on them and like, just squads and all that stuff. 01:05:16.152 --> 01:05:16.553 [SPEAKER_02]: It's very cool. 01:05:16.573 --> 01:05:22.543 [SPEAKER_07]: My collection now is, it's a six foot shelf and I need more room for models because I'm running out of room. 01:05:22.523 --> 01:05:27.473 [SPEAKER_07]: Well, Lord wise, Donald Tech is almost a scale of like 40k itself. 01:05:27.513 --> 01:05:33.164 [SPEAKER_07]: There's just so much lore, and it spans over a couple thousand years, and it's been out since like 1984. 01:05:33.184 --> 01:05:33.385 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 01:05:33.645 --> 01:05:43.705 [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, it's not the same size as 40k, but I would say it's like the next step down is the depth, you know, in depth of amount of lore that goes into it. 01:05:43.887 --> 01:05:44.768 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's very cool. 01:05:45.169 --> 01:05:45.609 [SPEAKER_02]: Very, very cool. 01:05:45.670 --> 01:05:46.831 [SPEAKER_07]: So ready for this, Ronan. 01:05:47.712 --> 01:05:48.854 [SPEAKER_02]: Jeremy's there with you. 01:05:49.175 --> 01:05:52.039 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you guys should talk about doing a lore show together or something. 01:05:53.080 --> 01:05:55.343 [SPEAKER_02]: Do what you want, but just making suggestions. 01:05:55.403 --> 01:05:56.685 [SPEAKER_02]: If that's something that would be helpful. 01:05:57.306 --> 01:05:59.810 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, and any other questions for Wasteland, Ronan? 01:06:01.032 --> 01:06:02.113 [SPEAKER_02]: Any other thoughts or questions? 01:06:03.315 --> 01:06:03.836 [SPEAKER_02]: Nope. 01:06:03.856 --> 01:06:04.997 [SPEAKER_02]: Looks like we're getting close to the end. 01:06:05.057 --> 01:06:06.820 [SPEAKER_02]: Wasteland, thanks for sharing that. 01:06:06.840 --> 01:06:08.342 [SPEAKER_02]: Did any of their final thoughts? 01:06:09.166 --> 01:06:10.107 [SPEAKER_07]: No, that's about it. 01:06:10.147 --> 01:06:12.910 [SPEAKER_07]: I don't think I have any other podcast. 01:06:14.692 --> 01:06:22.982 [SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to start pouring it over to YouTube because I'd love to start making videos for metal gear and then battle tech. 01:06:23.102 --> 01:06:27.287 [SPEAKER_07]: Definitely battle tech because there's a lot of stuff that the names are definitely going to get confusing. 01:06:27.307 --> 01:06:31.451 [SPEAKER_07]: So being able to see a visual aid would be way help way more helpful. 01:06:31.752 --> 01:06:32.272 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:06:32.292 --> 01:06:32.392 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:06:32.412 --> 01:06:33.273 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, good luck with all of that. 01:06:33.333 --> 01:06:34.735 [SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome. 01:06:34.715 --> 01:06:35.176 [SPEAKER_02]: All right. 01:06:35.396 --> 01:06:36.899 [SPEAKER_02]: I guess I'm wrapping this up. 01:06:37.199 --> 01:06:57.415 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so I was going to say the Oblivion remaster came out earlier this year back in like March and that was going to be my like you got to go back and play it and so my elder Scrolls lorecast friends are going to be like, yeah, I go back and play that. 01:06:57.395 --> 01:07:22.356 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and also on the theme of being a parent, my son is 15 this year, and I don't know five, six years ago, bought an electric drum set, I used to play in bands, I can play guitar and bass, I can drum, okay, I do a variety of different things, and so I got him started on that like an elementary school, and he was, you know, picking up drums pretty quick, and then a year ago, 01:07:22.336 --> 01:07:23.538 [SPEAKER_02]: He got into playing bass. 01:07:23.618 --> 01:07:26.101 [SPEAKER_02]: He wanted to play bass guitar, so he got a bass guitar. 01:07:26.161 --> 01:07:36.455 [SPEAKER_02]: And then this year, he was, he's been wanting to play, there has a school band, not like a school jazz band or orchestra, but like an actual rock band, a school rock band. 01:07:37.456 --> 01:07:40.500 [SPEAKER_02]: And he was like, you know, I want to play in the band, but they already have a bass player in there. 01:07:40.520 --> 01:07:42.663 [SPEAKER_02]: I have a drummer and I'm like, okay, well, what do they need? 01:07:42.683 --> 01:07:44.025 [SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, well, a guitar player. 01:07:44.245 --> 01:07:46.989 [SPEAKER_02]: And if I play guitar, I could probably play with them next year, but I have to learn it. 01:07:47.370 --> 01:07:48.331 [SPEAKER_02]: And it's birthdays in June. 01:07:48.371 --> 01:07:51.415 [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, she got a guitar. 01:07:51.513 --> 01:07:53.957 [SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, I don't know, I don't know if I want to do guitar. 01:07:53.977 --> 01:07:57.081 [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, I started on guitar and then I learned other stuff. 01:07:57.121 --> 01:08:00.146 [SPEAKER_02]: You're coming from the other direction, but I would highly recommend it. 01:08:00.186 --> 01:08:02.109 [SPEAKER_02]: The more, you know, anybody who's a musician knows. 01:08:02.169 --> 01:08:07.317 [SPEAKER_02]: The more instruments you pick up, the more that adds to your versatility or understanding of music, all of those things. 01:08:08.038 --> 01:08:09.239 [SPEAKER_02]: And so he did. 01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:10.281 [SPEAKER_02]: He was like, okay. 01:08:10.261 --> 01:08:12.165 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll ask for a guitar for my birthday. 01:08:12.345 --> 01:08:19.879 [SPEAKER_02]: So, splurge a little bit, got him, I mean, a beginner guitar, but a little bit nicer amp because, you know, it's nice to have something that you can, you can trust. 01:08:20.821 --> 01:08:21.763 [SPEAKER_02]: And he took to it. 01:08:22.083 --> 01:08:33.585 [SPEAKER_02]: And like, even today, he had, the last week, his band is putting together a Christmas show at the school, but they had to cancel one of their practices last week because the teacher couldn't be there. 01:08:33.565 --> 01:08:37.654 [SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, Dad, can I have the kids over on like Sunday to practice? 01:08:38.055 --> 01:08:39.258 [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, yeah, let's do it. 01:08:39.278 --> 01:08:39.739 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's set it up. 01:08:39.799 --> 01:08:40.961 [SPEAKER_02]: And we've got like an or front room. 01:08:40.981 --> 01:08:43.307 [SPEAKER_02]: I've got Mike the drum set and I've got guitars and amps and things. 01:08:43.327 --> 01:08:44.249 [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, we'll set up the room. 01:08:44.289 --> 01:08:47.175 [SPEAKER_02]: You go, I don't I don't have a microphone for a singer, but we'll buy one. 01:08:47.195 --> 01:08:47.837 [SPEAKER_02]: We'll set it up for you. 01:08:48.558 --> 01:08:50.342 [SPEAKER_02]: And like... 01:08:50.322 --> 01:08:56.534 [SPEAKER_02]: Totally got to be like the the cool dad who was like, you know, helping out the kids with the rock band and being an answer in question. 01:08:56.555 --> 01:09:11.324 [SPEAKER_02]: They're like, what order should we put the songs in and like, what do I wish I do about this with stage presence and answering all these questions that I've spent so many years and so many hundreds of shows like refining all of that knowledge and then being like, hey guys, this is the stuff that actually matters. 01:09:11.525 --> 01:09:12.246 [SPEAKER_02]: Focus on this. 01:09:12.226 --> 01:09:31.551 [SPEAKER_02]: And then by the end of it, they were like, oh, we were so glad we got to come over and like this has been so helpful and all of that stuff so it's just so cool to be like, you know, making connections and like just not just my son, but like his friends and also the school and the community that's there and then the you know the other parent shows up who happens to be one of the teachers and 01:09:31.531 --> 01:09:51.326 [SPEAKER_02]: She's the, you know, the mom of the girl who's the singer in the band and like making all of those like real-world connections But also taking a bunch of these teenage kids who are trying to play rock music in 2025 Which is like weird and vintage and old and be like hey guys This can still be cool clearly. 01:09:51.366 --> 01:09:53.590 [SPEAKER_02]: You're still into like this kind of music 01:09:53.570 --> 01:09:57.680 [SPEAKER_02]: here's how you make it your own thing and like take it run with it. 01:09:58.442 --> 01:09:59.364 [SPEAKER_02]: This is art, you know? 01:10:00.025 --> 01:10:07.764 [SPEAKER_02]: And it feels kind of similar to giving advice to people starting a podcast because as a podcast content creator, you're creating your own art, you're doing it your own way. 01:10:08.305 --> 01:10:10.571 [SPEAKER_02]: But there's elements that are similar, you know? 01:10:11.152 --> 01:10:12.034 [SPEAKER_02]: And 01:10:12.014 --> 01:10:15.038 [SPEAKER_02]: So I guess my recommendation would be, get involved. 01:10:15.058 --> 01:10:17.541 [SPEAKER_02]: Like if you're a parent, get a little bit more involved. 01:10:17.661 --> 01:10:22.928 [SPEAKER_02]: Or go on on crowns thing, go, go back to the things you enjoyed and use those. 01:10:23.148 --> 01:10:31.339 [SPEAKER_02]: And maybe your kids aren't in the same things you are, but maybe they will be if you just give them a little bit of an opportunity to see how why that's fun and how that's cool. 01:10:31.399 --> 01:10:36.385 [SPEAKER_02]: And like crown, like you say, like having your kid on stage help and do the thing with you, you know? 01:10:36.365 --> 01:10:47.243 [SPEAKER_02]: Like those, these are the things that really connect everybody and make, I don't know, make it feel worth it, you know, so Teenagers Sam, say what you just put in chat. 01:10:48.385 --> 01:10:49.927 [SPEAKER_11]: So I just put in the Zoom chat here. 01:10:50.007 --> 01:10:56.398 [SPEAKER_11]: Teenagers starting a rock band in 2025 is ironically very punk. 01:10:56.378 --> 01:10:56.779 [SPEAKER_02]: Right? 01:10:57.320 --> 01:10:58.482 [SPEAKER_02]: How freaking cool is that? 01:10:59.003 --> 01:11:05.776 [SPEAKER_02]: And here's the other one of the other lessons I gave them, because they were talking about like how they want to dress and what their person of the band isn't that kind of thing. 01:11:06.216 --> 01:11:10.565 [SPEAKER_02]: And one of my recommendations was, you know, I went to, I was in high school in the 90s. 01:11:10.785 --> 01:11:11.907 [SPEAKER_02]: The Grunge was the thing. 01:11:11.887 --> 01:11:21.519 [SPEAKER_02]: Grunge and alternative rock became a thing because people were tired of the inauthenticity of like 1980s pop and rock and metal and all of that. 01:11:21.840 --> 01:11:29.529 [SPEAKER_02]: And all of a sudden freaking cocoa bring gets on stage with his torn jeans and his flannel because it's just what he wore that day and he's the most authentic dude on the planet. 01:11:29.549 --> 01:11:33.915 [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, what does the world need now more than authenticity? 01:11:34.195 --> 01:11:37.860 [SPEAKER_02]: And a world full of AI Slop and all sorts of garbage in the internet. 01:11:37.840 --> 01:11:40.383 [SPEAKER_02]: What's the best thing you can possibly do when you get on stage? 01:11:40.403 --> 01:11:43.828 [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, just be authentic and own it. 01:11:44.448 --> 01:11:48.974 [SPEAKER_02]: And even if you mess up, own it and just play your hearts out and love what you do. 01:11:49.475 --> 01:11:51.918 [SPEAKER_02]: And that's how you build a fan base. 01:11:51.938 --> 01:11:52.979 [SPEAKER_02]: That's how you build an audience. 01:11:53.560 --> 01:11:56.324 [SPEAKER_02]: And they were like, oh my god, that makes so much sense. 01:11:56.784 --> 01:11:57.826 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, just like, clicked. 01:11:58.346 --> 01:11:59.908 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, very, very cool stuff. 01:12:00.209 --> 01:12:01.350 [SPEAKER_02]: Rowan, did you have a question? 01:12:03.136 --> 01:12:06.190 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, if they're not called Nirvana, we're gonna have to fix that. 01:12:06.230 --> 01:12:11.535 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, they're not, they're not using that name, but yeah. 01:12:11.877 --> 01:12:12.218 [SPEAKER_02]: Sergio? 01:12:15.117 --> 01:12:22.644 [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, so you're going to say growing up sort of with the ADHD slash short-tistic brains, slash hyper fixated brain. 01:12:22.804 --> 01:12:24.025 [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's like all of us, right? 01:12:24.085 --> 01:12:24.586 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right. 01:12:24.966 --> 01:12:27.969 [SPEAKER_10]: And so, like, you know, I love the things that I loved. 01:12:27.989 --> 01:12:31.131 [SPEAKER_10]: Like I knew all the facts about every GI Joe character. 01:12:31.151 --> 01:12:37.577 [SPEAKER_10]: I, you know, knew like way more about, you know, Thundercats and anyone probably should have. 01:12:38.298 --> 01:12:45.124 [SPEAKER_10]: And so I always thought like, hey, like, when I become a parent, I'm going to be the coolest freaking parent because all the dumb stuff that they're going to be 01:12:45.104 --> 01:12:55.558 [SPEAKER_10]: Like I probably won't be into it, but I'll understand and if they say like, oh, I need this of a chase variant of this figure, I like I don't exactly what that means. 01:12:55.638 --> 01:12:59.963 [SPEAKER_10]: Like some other Normie parent will be like, oh, you like Spider-Man. 01:13:00.043 --> 01:13:00.985 [SPEAKER_10]: Here's a Spider-Man. 01:13:01.005 --> 01:13:05.511 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm like, no, they're looking for the Black Symbiet variant from Spider-Man 3. 01:13:06.011 --> 01:13:07.433 [SPEAKER_10]: That's what they want. 01:13:07.413 --> 01:13:17.663 [SPEAKER_10]: And so, and I was right, like all the crazy stuff that my kids are in two nowadays, I can, like, I hear it and I'm like, it doesn't make any sense to me, but I understand the information. 01:13:17.703 --> 01:13:19.644 [SPEAKER_10]: And you get the Y. Yeah, exactly. 01:13:19.664 --> 01:13:20.565 [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I get the Y. 01:13:20.625 --> 01:13:22.167 [SPEAKER_10]: Not that like, you know, the what? 01:13:22.247 --> 01:13:22.867 [SPEAKER_10]: You know, the what? 01:13:22.948 --> 01:13:25.970 [SPEAKER_02]: The other comes out of the details, and once you dive enough deep in there, you get the what? 01:13:26.271 --> 01:13:29.153 [SPEAKER_02]: But you understand the Y, the Y, they care about the what? 01:13:29.514 --> 01:13:30.154 [SPEAKER_10]: Exactly. 01:13:30.475 --> 01:13:33.037 [SPEAKER_10]: So yeah, it's, it's, it's been awesome. 01:13:33.557 --> 01:13:34.258 [SPEAKER_02]: That's, that's awesome. 01:13:34.278 --> 01:13:36.340 [SPEAKER_02]: That's a great story. 01:13:37.636 --> 01:13:57.889 [SPEAKER_09]: So I've been saying yeah, I was just going to comment like with I mean, your son learning guitar going from bass and drums just coming on that like get out of your comfort zone dry something that you never never thought you would you know enjoy, but you turn out to enjoy. 01:13:58.223 --> 01:14:15.381 [SPEAKER_09]: I did that last year when I did gotten to acting and doing voice acting like or even just podcasting like something outside of your comfort zone and roll with it and you will see how much joy it brings to your life. 01:14:15.721 --> 01:14:15.921 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 01:14:15.941 --> 01:14:16.102 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:14:16.122 --> 01:14:17.843 [SPEAKER_02]: You don't really grow unless you're uncomfortable. 01:14:18.064 --> 01:14:20.666 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's one of those like timeless things, right? 01:14:20.826 --> 01:14:22.468 [SPEAKER_02]: Like you got to get a little uncomfortable to grow. 01:14:23.930 --> 01:14:24.130 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:14:24.811 --> 01:14:25.171 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:14:25.191 --> 01:14:26.172 [SPEAKER_02]: Maverick, did you want to chime in? 01:14:27.282 --> 01:14:28.704 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I'd also like to comment. 01:14:29.285 --> 01:14:31.389 [SPEAKER_08]: So I am on the spectrum. 01:14:32.050 --> 01:14:36.077 [SPEAKER_08]: I have been diagnosed and everything. 01:14:36.177 --> 01:14:52.345 [SPEAKER_08]: So I had to have my parents help me a lot when I was younger, pushing me out of my girlfriend's son, which in turn, in high school with football, I had, I also play the bass. 01:14:52.443 --> 01:14:55.408 [SPEAKER_08]: But I played the upright base the big right. 01:14:55.428 --> 01:14:57.250 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 01:14:57.331 --> 01:14:59.474 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I've tried those before and it's fun. 01:14:59.494 --> 01:15:01.537 [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, yeah, I played that. 01:15:01.677 --> 01:15:08.047 [SPEAKER_08]: I wore the student high court orchestra Yeah, no, I know a lot about that. 01:15:08.588 --> 01:15:10.230 [SPEAKER_08]: So I'm like that's right. 01:15:10.270 --> 01:15:10.951 [SPEAKER_08]: My only two. 01:15:11.232 --> 01:15:14.857 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you've you value the fact that your parents pushed you into things that you other works. 01:15:14.877 --> 01:15:15.639 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly. 01:15:15.999 --> 01:15:16.560 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah 01:15:16.912 --> 01:15:22.197 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, so there are some things I'm like, no, I'm never trying that, but in other ways, you know, like football. 01:15:22.258 --> 01:15:22.418 [SPEAKER_08]: Sure. 01:15:22.878 --> 01:15:23.719 [SPEAKER_08]: A lot of sports. 01:15:24.440 --> 01:15:27.603 [SPEAKER_08]: I wasn't weightlifting for a little bit. 01:15:28.884 --> 01:15:33.809 [SPEAKER_08]: And this some of that this one way is I grow older, did coping mechanisms, you know. 01:15:34.150 --> 01:15:34.350 [SPEAKER_02]: Sure. 01:15:34.570 --> 01:15:34.770 [SPEAKER_08]: Sure. 01:15:34.790 --> 01:15:40.376 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, our interest change, but like it's, it's that experience of having done the thing that you kind of carry with you, right? 01:15:40.697 --> 01:15:41.217 [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. 01:15:41.337 --> 01:15:41.798 [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. 01:15:41.938 --> 01:15:44.100 [SPEAKER_08]: And so yeah, I just was like, 01:15:44.671 --> 01:15:46.293 [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, people should play more base. 01:15:46.674 --> 01:15:53.002 [SPEAKER_08]: Okay, learn to have a strong back to carry that instrument wherever you go. 01:15:53.022 --> 01:15:54.464 [SPEAKER_02]: Right, enjoying a swing jazz trio. 01:15:54.544 --> 01:15:55.245 [SPEAKER_02]: We're in orchestra. 01:15:55.685 --> 01:15:56.887 [SPEAKER_02]: Like why not? 01:15:56.987 --> 01:15:58.068 [SPEAKER_02]: Or a rockabilly band. 01:15:58.249 --> 01:15:58.509 [SPEAKER_02]: Sure. 01:15:59.070 --> 01:15:59.951 [SPEAKER_08]: Why not? 01:16:00.411 --> 01:16:08.342 [SPEAKER_08]: I have played in a college symphony orchestra one time as the only base there because the other one was sick. 01:16:09.684 --> 01:16:13.108 [SPEAKER_08]: That was fun, but at the same time, it was scary. 01:16:13.426 --> 01:16:13.706 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:16:13.827 --> 01:16:15.029 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but you grow because of it. 01:16:15.129 --> 01:16:16.331 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:16:16.351 --> 01:16:16.672 [SPEAKER_08]: Absolutely. 01:16:16.792 --> 01:16:17.253 [SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely. 01:16:17.553 --> 01:16:17.814 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:16:17.834 --> 01:16:18.274 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:16:18.455 --> 01:16:21.039 [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's like to kind of wrap up my stuff. 01:16:22.061 --> 01:16:28.673 [SPEAKER_02]: Try something new, but also if you are a parent, don't be afraid to just suggest stuff. 01:16:29.013 --> 01:16:30.856 [SPEAKER_02]: And your kids aren't always going to jump on it. 01:16:31.077 --> 01:16:35.625 [SPEAKER_02]: In fact, they might look at you super skeptically and tell you you're an idiot because why would I ever want to do that? 01:16:36.226 --> 01:16:36.987 [SPEAKER_02]: But 01:16:36.967 --> 01:16:41.411 [SPEAKER_02]: If you put enough stuff out there, it's like a platter of food at a party, right? 01:16:41.551 --> 01:16:45.514 [SPEAKER_02]: You put enough stuff out on the table and somebody might go, oh, I'm trying one of those before. 01:16:45.715 --> 01:16:52.120 [SPEAKER_02]: And they'll just pick it up, you know, just make it, make them aware that you will support them and that, you know, you're there to help out. 01:16:52.320 --> 01:17:06.973 [SPEAKER_02]: In fact, right before we started the show, we were coming home, we went out and got dinner, we were coming home and playing songs in the car and there's a song on my son's playlist, that is a band that I've loved in the past and we got home and he pulls out his guitar 01:17:06.953 --> 01:17:07.734 [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, man. 01:17:07.914 --> 01:17:08.515 [SPEAKER_02]: This is how it goes. 01:17:09.396 --> 01:17:10.738 [SPEAKER_02]: I just sat down and showed it to him. 01:17:10.758 --> 01:17:11.719 [SPEAKER_10]: I mean, that's how it is. 01:17:11.779 --> 01:17:14.823 [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, yeah He listened to you just like like that sounds cool. 01:17:14.844 --> 01:17:15.484 [SPEAKER_10]: How do you play that? 01:17:15.725 --> 01:17:16.366 [SPEAKER_02]: Right, right? 01:17:16.406 --> 01:17:28.742 [SPEAKER_02]: He started playing it and he's like I think it's over here's this the first note and I'm like, yeah, here works like this and then I was like, okay Let's let's plug it in and turn it up because that's when you really get the feel for like the way the distortion plays with the drop detuning 01:17:28.722 --> 01:17:31.206 [SPEAKER_02]: or whatever, you know, and he's like, okay, cool, you know. 01:17:31.226 --> 01:17:32.027 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah. 01:17:32.047 --> 01:17:32.508 [SPEAKER_02]: So there you go. 01:17:32.628 --> 01:17:39.097 [SPEAKER_02]: Those are our

the host of the Dungeons and Dragons lore cast the coast of the 616 files and to end off 2025 going into 2026, I would implore everyone listening to dare greatly to try the new thing, even if it means failing like all of my regrets in life, you know, aren't from I did that thing and I didn't do well, they're all I didn't even try that thing I wish I had tried the thing right so right. 01:19:29.277 --> 01:19:31.360 [SPEAKER_10]: That's what I, that's what I instilled my kids like try. 01:19:31.400 --> 01:19:34.405 [SPEAKER_10]: If you fail, oh well, the sun's still gonna rise tomorrow. 01:19:34.565 --> 01:19:35.266 [SPEAKER_10]: It's not a big deal. 01:19:35.487 --> 01:19:36.408 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you fail forward. 01:19:36.588 --> 01:19:39.994 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, if you fail and nobody saw you, it's like a tree in the forest. 01:19:40.154 --> 01:19:40.715 [SPEAKER_02]: Did it fall down? 01:19:41.396 --> 01:19:41.817 [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly. 01:19:41.877 --> 01:19:43.039 [SPEAKER_02]: Who knows? 01:19:43.059 --> 01:19:43.299 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, man. 01:19:43.920 --> 01:19:44.621 [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Preston. 01:19:46.123 --> 01:19:46.504 [SPEAKER_00]: Howdy. 01:19:46.744 --> 01:19:49.629 [SPEAKER_00]: I am Preston or DJ Atomic Wolf. 01:19:49.909 --> 01:19:51.452 [SPEAKER_00]: And I am the creator of True Vault. 01:19:51.472 --> 01:19:53.194 [SPEAKER_00]: Escapades of Fallout Audio Drama. 01:19:53.214 --> 01:19:56.820 [SPEAKER_00]: And my two cents would be, 01:19:57.492 --> 01:19:59.916 [SPEAKER_00]: Stop dipping your toe on the pool and just jump in. 01:20:00.297 --> 01:20:03.662 [SPEAKER_00]: And that goes with a lot of things, especially pools. 01:20:04.143 --> 01:20:07.188 [SPEAKER_00]: It's actually pools, just take the leap. 01:20:07.268 --> 01:20:14.079 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, especially if it's been bugging you for a really long time, that's more than enough of a sign that you need to give it a go. 01:20:14.500 --> 01:20:17.745 [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's my little parting message with everyone. 01:20:17.725 --> 01:20:18.085 [SPEAKER_02]: Nice. 01:20:18.166 --> 01:20:23.352 [SPEAKER_02]: Every time you say your DJ name, it reminds me of, and I'm DJ Atomicah from Burnout Paradise. 01:20:24.133 --> 01:20:25.154 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's a deep cut. 01:20:25.174 --> 01:20:26.436 [SPEAKER_01]: It was awesome. 01:20:27.057 --> 01:20:28.238 [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to Burnout Paradise. 01:20:28.839 --> 01:20:29.940 [SPEAKER_01]: DJ Atomicah. 01:20:30.521 --> 01:20:32.283 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:20:32.644 --> 01:20:32.844 [SPEAKER_02]: All right. 01:20:32.864 --> 01:20:33.385 [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks, Preston. 01:20:34.246 --> 01:20:36.629 [SPEAKER_02]: Sam, closing thoughts. 01:20:37.330 --> 01:20:37.690 [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah. 01:20:37.770 --> 01:20:44.779 [SPEAKER_11]: So I think my closing thoughts here are, you might think that you, that you like. 01:20:45.181 --> 01:21:02.741 [SPEAKER_11]: just what you like in terms of games and you already have all of your uh, John Reservant Trist downpat, but just give a go to maybe something adjacent to broaden your horizons in that regard, because you might be surprised like I was with Tainted Grail. 01:21:03.562 --> 01:21:12.792 [SPEAKER_11]: Tainted Grail is also like their first or maybe only second for a 01:21:12.772 --> 01:21:19.415 [SPEAKER_11]: Uh, you know, didn't have like a big, uh, repertoire to back it up, but I've been having a great time with it. 01:21:19.555 --> 01:21:19.896 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:21:19.917 --> 01:21:23.308 [SPEAKER_02]: And I can understand your skepticism because it does have the word taint in the name. 01:21:23.990 --> 01:21:24.452 [SPEAKER_11]: Yes. 01:21:25.664 --> 01:21:55.063 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know where I can take the jokes to you, so, oh my god, it's anyway, thanks Sam, and he does the Mass Effect Lord cast you're wondering, where I used to up until about a year ago, I was your co-host on that, and this show has been doing great, Genesis has been doing wonderful on the show, and also if you want other jokes about James, I'm sure we made some 01:21:55.634 --> 01:22:05.967 [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, go go go listen to the Mass Effect lore cast for more taint lore Some of the best quotes go to the quote episodes at the end of the year. 01:22:06.027 --> 01:22:06.768 [SPEAKER_02]: Those are those. 01:22:06.788 --> 01:22:07.969 [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, episode 100. 01:22:08.130 --> 01:22:10.953 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely go find that one if you want more goofs. 01:22:11.033 --> 01:22:11.975 [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, so there you go. 01:22:11.995 --> 01:22:13.036 [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks, I'm crown. 01:22:13.536 --> 01:22:16.360 [SPEAKER_02]: What do you leave in everybody with and also remind them what show you do? 01:22:18.179 --> 01:22:21.483 [SPEAKER_06]: Sorry, I'm trying to follow up behind on that last one. 01:22:21.503 --> 01:22:22.044 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, good luck. 01:22:22.144 --> 01:22:22.925 [SPEAKER_06]: Good luck. 01:22:23.486 --> 01:22:25.068 [SPEAKER_06]: My name is Crown S.O.I.M. 01:22:25.108 --> 01:22:30.536 [SPEAKER_06]: the host of the 10th Vine Podcasts and then you're based podcasts for sharing the community of the Elder Scrolls games. 01:22:31.597 --> 01:22:35.042 [SPEAKER_06]: And I quote this been sitting with me a lot lately. 01:22:35.162 --> 01:22:44.895 [SPEAKER_06]: And I think kind of fits with the general message everybody's been shooting out here at the end is either you can or you can't either way you're right. 01:22:45.567 --> 01:22:45.848 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:22:46.148 --> 01:22:46.349 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:22:47.070 --> 01:22:47.250 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:22:47.411 --> 01:22:49.876 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, whatever you expect is going to be the way it goes. 01:22:50.016 --> 01:22:50.196 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:22:50.316 --> 01:22:51.419 [SPEAKER_06]: If I think you can't, you won't. 01:22:52.481 --> 01:22:52.581 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 01:22:52.601 --> 01:23:02.681 [SPEAKER_06]: I don't even know if somebody had shared it if it was in a game they had been playing recently, but it's someone else is a quote from someone else too, but like it's been really sitting with me for last little bit. 01:23:02.701 --> 01:23:07.170 [SPEAKER_06]: And I feel that really fits into, you know, getting out there trying new things and 01:23:07.387 --> 01:23:09.294 [SPEAKER_06]: Just do one stuff. 01:23:09.314 --> 01:23:10.539 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, try some new stuff in 2026. 01:23:10.559 --> 01:23:11.803 [SPEAKER_02]: It's

01:26:48.328 --> 01:27:05.108 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, just, I, I feel like, you know, in the early years of parenting, it can be just so tiring, the end of every day, I was just doing like, yeah, I'm exhausted and oftentimes just watching TV, you know, and then just feeling like am I really like loving this right now, you know, 01:27:05.088 --> 01:27:21.426 [SPEAKER_01]: that's how I got led to robots radio like what did I love me that was aspects all out and all these years later comes in here with all of you yeah that's awesome yeah it feels good to be a part of something it feels good to be able to like make a thing rather than consume a thing I think that's 01:27:21.406 --> 01:27:40.427 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that'll be, I guess I have to wrap this up, so maybe that'll be my thing, is like, if you find yourself regularly for your own entertainment and just kind of, you know, in your spare time because work is stressful and family life is stressful or whatever, if you find yourself constantly consuming things and feeling empty from that, 01:27:40.407 --> 01:27:41.108 [SPEAKER_02]: make something. 01:27:41.668 --> 01:27:42.769 [SPEAKER_02]: Think about making a thing. 01:27:43.290 --> 01:27:44.491 [SPEAKER_02]: Now, maybe that's not a podcast. 01:27:44.511 --> 01:27:44.992 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it is. 01:27:45.132 --> 01:27:47.314 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I'm sure there are people out there who are like, you know what? 01:27:47.334 --> 01:27:51.378 [SPEAKER_02]: I'd love to start a podcast and I would be remiss to not say, hey, come join the Rocket Club. 01:27:51.559 --> 01:27:52.179 [SPEAKER_02]: I can help you out. 01:27:52.560 --> 01:27:54.882 [SPEAKER_02]: But outside of that, maybe that's not your thing. 01:27:55.082 --> 01:27:57.605 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe your thing is, you know, I want to act in a play. 01:27:58.165 --> 01:28:00.308 [SPEAKER_02]: I want to DM a Dungeons & Dragons game. 01:28:00.408 --> 01:28:03.110 [SPEAKER_02]: I want to start pick up games of basketball in my neighborhood. 01:28:03.231 --> 01:28:04.592 [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever it is, 01:28:04.572 --> 01:28:16.277 [SPEAKER_02]: Make a thing, make a team, make a product, make art, like add to the world in a place where there's so much, I don't know, AI garbage and all sorts of inauthenticity. 01:28:16.879 --> 01:28:21.469 [SPEAKER_02]: Be a human being and make stuff and share it with other humans and get out there and be with some other people. 01:28:22.070 --> 01:28:23.914 [SPEAKER_02]: Ronan, did you have one more thing you wanted to chime in with? 01:28:23.894 --> 01:28:33.356 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, and for those people that, you know, they don't want to make their own podcasts that they don't want to do that or whatever, they can always support their podcast, you know, right into your podcast or even send in a single question. 01:28:34.138 --> 01:28:41.194 [SPEAKER_07]: Because someone else out there might have the same question you do and just by that quick little snippet, you could change like the entire. 01:28:41.495 --> 01:28:45.723 [SPEAKER_07]: Tart away people think about the game or maybe like, you know, add more information to it. 01:28:45.843 --> 01:28:50.371 [SPEAKER_07]: So yeah, there's way to so many ways to support your podcasts that you like. 01:28:50.812 --> 01:28:52.756 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I talk with a number of people. 01:28:52.776 --> 01:28:57.765 [SPEAKER_02]: I try to answer people's questions on our discord all the time and sometimes I end up responding to people who 01:28:57.745 --> 01:29:06.139 [SPEAKER_02]: they will shy away from doing something like a podcast because they'll look at a lot of us who are the hosts for our shows, are the voice for our shows. 01:29:06.660 --> 01:29:09.544 [SPEAKER_02]: And they'll assume that they have to do everything else. 01:29:09.604 --> 01:29:10.927 [SPEAKER_02]: They're like, but I don't know how to edit. 01:29:10.987 --> 01:29:11.968 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know
