00:01:41 Andrew
Very, very.
00:01:46 Brandon
So the last two days is that and then leaving on a trip going on a jet plane. Don't know if I'll be back again on Tuesday so.
00:01:52 Andrew
Very nice, very nice.
00:01:59 Brandon
If if we don't make these final episodes, it's because of not been allowed back in the country.
00:02:07 Andrew
I'll just do my.
00:02:07 Andrew
Own boot boots or reboots by myself.
00:02:10 Brandon
Perfect, because that's what we're doing today.
00:02:13 Andrew
This is boot or reboot, mainly boot or reboots.
00:02:15 Brandon
This.
00:02:16 Brandon
Yeah, this final season naming 90s. It's just boots or reboots.
00:02:21 Andrew
Which I don't think anyone's ever said like, hey, we love this segment because no one ever said anything ever. But we're gonna assume you like it.
00:02:28 Brandon
Yeah. Or at least.
00:02:31 Brandon
Just do it because we can and it's a nice way to make a full format, you know.
00:02:42 Andrew
Yeah. So let's see how our civil liberties.
00:02:47 Andrew
Being eroded this week.
00:02:48 Brandon
We don't know because it's been it's it's still pretty. This is still the previous week.
00:02:50 Andrew
Haven't done anything really different, although I do find it.
00:02:53 Andrew
Funny like.
00:02:54 Andrew
Whenever you get a new job, you to watch those those online trainings about harassment.
00:02:59 Brandon
Mm-hmm.
00:03:00 Andrew
And it's like.
00:03:01 Andrew
Showing situations that are clearly not allowed and but the problem is that the ultimate, so to speak Trump card is, yeah, but the president did it and then it's always funny because they're going to update them because right now they say things like federal law prohibits discrimination based on like, does it though.
00:03:19 Andrew
Like that's right.
00:03:19 Brandon
That's true. It does no longer do that.
00:03:24 Andrew
So anyway, let's see. And I heard that more people have measles than there are trans athletes in the NCAA.
00:03:31 Brandon
Because there's 14 people that, oh, I thought he was trans athletes in high schools.
00:03:38 Andrew
Close enough, I will say the N double ACP I was. I was. No, I was about to say it legitimately. And I got in CA just in the nick of time.
00:03:41 Brandon
I also heard that one coming as well.
00:03:49 Brandon
Well done, well done. Avoided that so paw.
00:03:56 Brandon
Yeah, yeah, I thought it was high schools. Trans athletes, but.
00:04:01 Andrew
It's either high school or college, but.
00:04:02 Andrew
The point is, more people have measles.
00:04:05
Yeah.
00:04:05 Andrew
In the great state of Texas.
00:04:07 Brandon
Yeah. In the state of Texas alone, not in the country.
00:04:11 Brandon
Yeah. Fair, fair.
00:04:13 Brandon
OK.
00:04:14 Andrew
Yeah, OK. Because that's the thing that happened.
00:04:20 Andrew
Going to rollback joke last time because.
00:04:22 Andrew
We recorded.
00:04:23 Andrew
Like 3 days ago.
00:04:24 Brandon
Rapide.
00:04:28 Andrew
Let's get more things to talk about. I need. I need dinner tonight. It's entertaining. When they could tear me to Parfait. Seems like making a full tear means to letting it like sit.
00:04:31 Brandon
Yes, yes.
00:04:40 Andrew
And it was.
00:04:41 Andrew
Oh.
00:04:42 Andrew
It's OK. I was under sweetened and the lady's fingers had not been soaked enough.
00:04:43 Brandon
Dennis.
00:04:52 Brandon
Well, I was going to say I always find Taylor suit to not be sweet. It's.
00:04:58 Andrew
No, and I think I got it just about right. Like honestly it's it's.
00:05:02 Brandon
From French standards.
00:05:04 Andrew
It's it's, it's Italian.
00:05:06 Brandon
That's what I want to say.
00:05:09 Andrew
Although one time I was watching so I love. I love the Barefoot Contessa, I think Arden.
00:05:14 Andrew
Great cook. She made it tiramisu and 1st.
00:05:17 Andrew
Of all it was like.
00:05:19 Andrew
The one we make is like whipped cream and mascarpone cheese in it, versus like the custard and custard is a little more traditional, but she made it with the.
00:05:26 Andrew
Custard that ended up being really yellow.
00:05:28 Andrew
And then she added rum soaked raisins into it. And I was like, I am out. You're not doing.
00:05:33 Brandon
Oh.
00:05:37 Brandon
And then you did it.
00:05:39 Andrew
No, I didn't make those discussed.
00:05:42 Brandon
You know, I think that would be the.
00:05:43
Ohh.
00:05:44 Brandon
Way to improve carrot cake because I hate having reasons in my carrot cake, I'm soaked. Raisins might improve it question mark.
00:05:51 Andrew
Yeah.
00:05:57 Andrew
Did we talked last week about the?
00:05:58 Andrew
Fact that they sent Martha Stewart to jail for insider trading and that all the Republicans just insider traded.
00:06:03 Brandon
Yeah, it. I'm learning that you you need like.
00:06:08 Brandon
You need a week to need to write new materials.
00:06:12 Andrew
I mean true.
00:06:14 Andrew
I just I can't get off that one because it's so full, asinine, like it's legal for members of the government to do entire training.
00:06:19 Brandon
The reason?
00:06:23 Brandon
Well, it's not.
00:06:25 Andrew
Yeah, when they do it and they.
00:06:27 Andrew
Can't really be prosecuted for it.
00:06:29 Brandon
Right.
00:06:30 Andrew
It's been going on for years, by the way. It's not like it's just the Republicans. It's also the Democrats. But poor Martha Stewart, you know.
00:06:34 Brandon
Mm-hmm.
00:06:38 Brandon
Something you never thought you'd say.
00:06:42 Brandon
In your lifetime.
00:06:44 Andrew
Yeah, exactly.
00:06:44 Brandon
Or Martha Stewart.
00:06:47 Andrew
So what else is new?
00:06:49 Brandon
Good question because I did not start the timer when we started the episode, so I don't know.
00:06:54 Brandon
Where?
00:06:54 Brandon
We are. I can see we've elapsed 9 minutes in recording and what else is new I've made? Oh, I've made a cake for my friend the other day for their birthday.
00:07:07 Brandon
First time making a skillet cookie. Yeah, I mean, I made American buttercream myself. Don't think context. But yeah. I mean, frosting is damage.
00:07:10 Andrew
Oh Yum.
00:07:25 Brandon
To decorate the outside. I mean it looks like a Mrs. fields like you know.
00:07:25 Andrew
Nice.
00:07:30 Andrew
Our thinking is the type where you like. You can get the skill at hot and then like put ice cream on it.
00:07:36 Brandon
That was the type that I made, but uh since it.
00:07:38 Andrew
But then you let it cool and.
00:07:39 Andrew
Then decorate it.
00:07:40 Brandon
Decorated.
00:07:41 Brandon
Yep.
00:07:41 Andrew
Yeah, I like those giant. I did like those giant misfields like pan cookies. I never got one of those, but I.
00:07:46 Andrew
Always wanted one of those.
00:07:46 Brandon
Same, yeah, you don't.
00:07:47 Brandon
See them all and be like.
00:07:49 Brandon
When is my birthday and how do I?
00:07:50 Brandon
Get that for me?
00:07:51 Andrew
Yeah, looks amazing.
00:07:54 Andrew
Filed my taxes finally. Unfortunately, the IRS did not dissolve as I was hoping before the 15th sign the Boeing money this year.
00:08:01 Brandon
Hey. I'm. I'm. Yeah, I owe a bit of an item and I'm filing currently. I'm just getting my extension so.
00:08:15 Andrew
That's what she said.
00:08:18 Brandon
Hopefully it dissolves before my exceptions do.
00:08:21 Andrew
And what's the deal with taxes? No, I and this is filing.
00:08:25 Brandon
The Lone Star State.
00:08:27 Andrew
And it's not pretty, but I was able to itemize some stuff and get my amount down, which is good.
00:08:33 Brandon
Oh.
00:08:34 Andrew
Without the use of fraud like Donald John Trump.
00:08:38 Brandon
Ohh.
00:08:40 Brandon
Josaphat.
00:08:42 Andrew
Josephine.
00:08:45 Andrew
Jesus.
00:08:47 Brandon
Jesus.
00:08:49 Brandon
Uh Donald. He's is. Uh, yeah, let's see Nintendo switch to pre sales still eludes me, but it might happen. It might not because they pushed back and pushed back cause the tariffs and then apparently.
00:09:08 Brandon
Everywhere but North America and Canada are, well, America and Canada have did start the pre-orders last or on the 9th, and then everyone else is just like.
00:09:21 Brandon
Yeah, suck it.
00:09:23 Andrew
So so you can't have the new switch, but you can have another season of terrible Mariners baseball, courtesy of the Nintendo company, right? Do they still own it?
00:09:31 Andrew
Or they sell it.
00:09:33 Brandon
I'm pretty sure they sold it, and if they are, if they're not major investors anymore.
00:09:36 Andrew
Well, either way.
00:09:40 Brandon
Yeah, it's unfortunate.
00:09:44 Brandon
But hopefully next week I'll be able to regale you about tales of being the homeland of training. Although I don't, I'm not going to be able to make it to so. There's a Nintendo museum in Kyoto that opened up that I was hoping to go to, but my travels will not take me to Kyoto this time.
00:10:02 Brandon
Unfortunately.
00:10:04 Andrew
Currently. Oh no. Kyoto for you. Darn. Now you can't blast this song. Kyoto. Now on repeat. You know, it's about the Treaty, but anyway.
00:10:09 Brandon
Yep. But I mean, if I would.
00:10:13 Brandon
I would just be blasting out on the bullet.
00:10:14 Brandon
Train the whole way.
00:10:17 Andrew
Yeah. Yep, Yep.
00:10:17 Brandon
And then when you get there.
00:10:24 Andrew
That that was not right.
00:10:26 Brandon
Yep, yeah. Have you enjoyed our chitchat segment the last two weeks where we come in with the half cocked? It doesn't talk about.
00:10:27 Andrew
That's.
00:10:34 Andrew
That has now concluded. Our 10 minute chitchat section, which is what it is.
00:10:37 Brandon
Yes.
00:10:40 Andrew
OK. We we feel compelled to fill it even if there's nothing worthwhile to say. We're like we're filling the 10. So what's the episode will?
00:10:45 Andrew
Be 15 minutes long.
00:10:46 Brandon
Right when we originally like had it to be like like we were going to like cut down our chitchat intro because we're like, oh, we just jibber jabber for.
00:10:54 Andrew
Yeah.
00:10:57 Brandon
Oh.
00:10:58 Andrew
Like I barely have the will to live.
00:11:00 Andrew
Honestly, it's just.
00:11:02 Brandon
Wow, what five years is really that good?
00:11:07 Brandon
Yeah.
00:11:07 Andrew
Well, Speaking of committing crimes, including car theft.
00:11:11 Brandon
Are you trying to get me like, stopped at uh T not TSA. What is it called? You come back into customs. Thank you, jebus.
00:11:23 Andrew
And traveling for business or pleasure.
00:11:26 Andrew
And you're just like, who says it can't be both and you wink at the person.
00:11:36 Andrew
Do it.
00:11:39 Andrew
What we're looking at.
00:11:41 Brandon
Looking at the trailer for, I'm sorry we're going through the reboot.
00:11:42 Andrew
You never said who it was.
00:11:47 Andrew
OK, we're going to look at what trailers for Grand Theft Auto 2 and Grand Theft Auto VI or 4/6.
00:11:51 Brandon
Yes.
00:12:00 Andrew
Roman numerals. Ah.
00:12:03 Brandon
Wow. I mean, I was just gonna tee it up, but that was perfect.
00:12:12 Andrew
It sounds like you're driving.
00:12:13 Brandon
Hey.
00:12:18 Brandon
I've never heard.
00:12:18 Brandon
Anything in just one day life stop.
00:12:21 Andrew
I hate more things.
00:12:22 Andrew
Than.
00:12:22 Andrew
You.
00:12:27 Brandon
So yeah, this is a movie they made for the trailer for GTA2, which?
00:12:30 Andrew
Oh yeah.
00:12:38 Andrew
Is insane, but it implies that it's going to.
00:12:41 Andrew
Be a lot better looking of a game than it is.
00:12:44 Brandon
Yeah.
00:12:48 Brandon
Right.
00:12:51 Brandon
Was it?
00:12:52 Brandon
Your brother that had GTA 2 was.
00:12:55 Brandon
The original GTA.
00:12:56 Andrew
I cannot remember.
00:12:58 Brandon
Always you.
00:13:00 Andrew
If you have both. Oh yeah, dude.
00:13:04 Andrew
Really intense ruling homicide. Life on the streets.
00:13:05 Brandon
No.
00:13:09 Brandon
Like we shot this trailer for a computer game.
00:13:15 Brandon
Let's enjoy.
00:13:17 Andrew
And the fact that they couldn't just cobble together a variety of film footage to make this.
00:13:21 Andrew
This kind of you know.
00:13:23 Brandon
Well, did you see the the Zaibatsu logo just say?
00:13:28 Andrew
No, no, I didn't.
00:13:28 Andrew
Actually, yeah. There's life outside monstrosity.
00:13:31 Brandon
Yeah, yeah, that's an actual BMW that he's driving.
00:13:43 Brandon
Since.
00:13:45 Brandon
If you've never seen this trailer, Google GTA 2 trailer on YouTube. Yeah, this actually makes you want to play the game.
00:13:51 Andrew
This isn't.
00:13:56 Andrew
You guys could execute it on the video.
00:13:59 Andrew
2282.
00:14:01 Brandon
Wow, that was UM.
00:14:03 Andrew
For an execution was a little bit much.
00:14:06 Brandon
The thing that.
00:14:08 Brandon
Wow.
00:14:11 Brandon
Yeah, I mean, I would have, I would have liked to just show the trailer for GTA 3, But I came out in 2001. So yes, Grand Theft Auto 2 is an action adventure game developed by DMA Design and published by Rockstar Games in October of 1999 for PlayStation and Windows.
00:14:19 Andrew
Ah.
00:14:20 Andrew
Aaron.
00:14:31 Brandon
And additionally, the Dreamcast and Boy coloring, 2000.
00:14:35 Brandon
It is the sequel to 1997's Grand Theft Auto and the second main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. Set within a retro futuristic metropolis known as Anywhere City, the game focuses on players taking the role of criminal as they roll in an open world, conducting jobs for various crime syndicates and having free rein to do whatever they wish to achieve their goal.
00:14:55 Brandon
The games intro is unique for a title in the series as involved live action scenes filmed by Rockstar Games, which I think might have been what?
00:15:03 Brandon
We just saw.
00:15:04 Andrew
In the.
00:15:05 Brandon
It received mixed reviews for most platforms and negative reviews for what color? But it was a moderate commercial success. Yeah, is criticized for failing to innovate. The formula established by its predecessor, despite several improvements in plots. Yeah.
00:15:27 Brandon
It's it's it's it's. It's like the first one. It's a top down view. Some people speculate that it was originally not going to be a GTA title because it's because of its retro futuristic elements like.
00:15:33 Andrew
Yeah.
00:15:38 Brandon
Hmm.
00:15:44 Andrew
Yeah, that doesn't really fit.
00:15:46 Brandon
Yeah.
00:15:48 Brandon
But.
00:15:49 Brandon
That that was GTA GTA 2.
00:15:51 Andrew
Yeah, the top down just really kind of hamstrung that style of game in my opinion. Like it was, it was OK, it sort of set the table for what was to come, but it just wasn't. It was a little bit ahead of its time, a little bit.
00:16:02 Andrew
Ahead of its time, sorry to speak with words.
00:16:03 Brandon
True.
00:16:05 Brandon
Yeah, I mean I, I mean I I the I've played one or two top down gtas.
00:16:14 Brandon
Not like I played the game. I think I played the Gameboy one which was GTA 2 and I played Chinatown Wars, which was actually kind of good because that was still set in like the GTA4 Liberty City.
00:16:32 Brandon
I mean GTA.
00:16:34 Brandon
I don't remember, but yeah, it it you're right, it's limiting. And I remember you're so excited to show me it when you were kids that you brought me over and played it in front of me for hours. Yes.
00:16:47 Andrew
You're welcome. And you're probably like this game looks lame. In addition to the fact that I'm not playing it.
00:16:52 Brandon
Yes. I mean the tank stuff was fun. You sold tank started rampage. But yeah, from the top down view. Not as fun now is for GTA3. That was a fun watch.
00:17:08 Andrew
And we did that.
00:17:09 Andrew
In time, but actually let you play.
00:17:11 Brandon
Yes, yes, we would switch off when we would die, I think, yeah. So while the game was developed within 8 minute short film of live action footage filmed within New York City, so that was the trailer for the short film.
00:17:28 Brandon
Essentially, essentially, yeah. Yep.
00:17:30
Hello.
00:17:32 Brandon
And then the phone call follows a criminal named Claude Speed, who conducts jobs around Anywhere City for several criminal syndicates and tells actions eventually catch up and he is killed by an assassin from one of the gangs.
00:17:45 Brandon
Gangs he robbed.
00:17:46 Andrew
Interesting. The guy in G.
00:17:47 Andrew
23 is named Claude.
00:17:49 Brandon
Right. I guess his last name wasn't speed. He did have like, a similar haircut, too. The film was based on a screenplay by Dan Hauser and directed by Alex Direct off Dan Hauser.
00:18:01 Andrew
Officially based on a Shakespeare.
00:18:06 Brandon
Dan Houser, you may remember as the co-founder, one of the Co founders Rockstar.
00:18:15 Andrew
Everyone knows.
00:18:18 Andrew
As everyone knows, the famous.
00:18:20 Andrew
I've lost my train of thought. Also, by the way, I'm not recording, so we're going to pull this off the zoom because my.
00:18:26 Andrew
Thing is something weird.
00:18:27
Cool.
00:18:28 Brandon
No.
00:18:29 Andrew
Yeah.
00:18:29 Andrew
That'll still be fine, right?
00:18:31 Brandon
You as long as.
00:18:33 Brandon
I click extend, there we go.
00:18:37 Andrew
Cool. Sorry about that.
00:18:38 Andrew
Anyway, and now back to the show.
00:18:42 Brandon
Yes. Yeah, you. Well, you were saying something about something.
00:18:49 Andrew
Garage band has failed me anyway.
00:18:53 Brandon
Speaking of Phil, you do you know when GTA5 came out?
00:18:57 Andrew
Yes.
00:18:57 Brandon
Yeah. Do you remember which year that was in?
00:19:01 Andrew
2000.
00:19:06 Andrew
14.
00:19:07 Brandon
13 with good guess, I closed been over a decade since Grand Theft Auto 5 came out and it's been on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, X/S and Windows so.
00:19:08 Andrew
Ah, so close.
00:19:25 Brandon
It's spanned 3 console generations before even having.
00:19:33 Brandon
The sequel one.
00:19:34 Andrew
Things I like to say and don't actually say.
00:19:36 Brandon
So here we go, and this is gonna get copyright struck on YouTube because it has a ton of petty song.
00:19:48 Brandon
So you go.
00:19:50 Andrew
Yeah, it's so good that you can't.
00:19:51 Andrew
You know why you're here? That's. Look, I guess it's still.
00:19:55 Brandon
What's JJ Abrams sweat stream?
00:19:59 Andrew
Still very.
00:20:02 Andrew
Weird dialogue to like mouth movement.
00:20:06 Brandon
I mean, to be fair, I did RIP this.
00:20:10 Andrew
He ripped it and it's also over zoom.
00:20:12 Brandon
And it's also 720.
00:20:18 Brandon
But welcome back to my city, my friend.
00:20:23 Andrew
Tom Petty feels like a weird choice.
00:20:25 Brandon
Right.
00:20:25 Andrew
It's the 80s music.
00:20:27 Andrew
Granted, it's not an 80s game.
00:20:29 Brandon
Yeah, it's a modern.
00:20:31 Andrew
Still.
00:20:34 Brandon
Yeah.
00:20:37 Brandon
This is probably the first GTA set in.
00:20:41
Well, look who.
00:20:42 Brandon
The twenty 20s or yeah.
00:20:46 Brandon
We're going to get through this.
00:20:47 Andrew
I will say this, none of this looks like gameplay. This all looks like cutscenes.
00:20:49
1st.
00:20:51
Things here.
00:20:56 Andrew
Right. It would be nice to see a little.
00:20:58 Andrew
Bit of gameplay, but we're not going to see it.
00:21:00 Brandon
True.
00:21:02 Brandon
And this is, well, this trailer came out last year.
00:21:06 Andrew
I mean, yeah, I know. I I know. And I I know it's more of.
00:21:09 Andrew
Like a teaser, this is out in September.
00:21:13 Brandon
Well, so I was back when we thought was coming out this year.
00:21:16 Andrew
Now.
00:21:17 Brandon
Who knows when it's actually coming out?
00:21:20 Andrew
It's like half life 3.
00:21:23 Brandon
Well, except there's actual production on it, but yeah, Q3 Q 4/20/25 is when it was anticipated.
00:21:32 Andrew
Nice. Nice. I'll start saving my money now for a modern console.
00:21:36 Brandon
That the game will probably be like $100.
00:21:39 Andrew
Yeah, Mario Kart. It's gonna be like.
00:21:40
Sorry.
00:21:41 Andrew
80 I heard.
00:21:43 Brandon
Well, the physical copy of buyer card is 80. The digital copy is 70.
00:21:50 Andrew
This the game had better be amazing for how long they made this wait.
00:21:53 Brandon
Right. I mean technically they've been updating Grand Theft Auto online for the last decade. So if if you like getting blown up every 5 seconds.
00:22:02
Truth.
00:22:07 Brandon
Or having to do missions with people that would.
00:22:10 Brandon
Get you killed.
00:22:11 Brandon
Immediately you know, there's always that option.
00:22:14 Andrew
Right here.
00:22:19 Brandon
6 is is due to be the 8th main game in the Grand Theft Auto series following Grand Theft Auto 5. It's an open world in the fictional US state of Leonide based on.
00:22:36 Brandon
Florida. Yeah, yeah, right, right.
00:22:40 Andrew
Florida.
00:22:41 Andrew
Low rider.
00:22:43 Brandon
Yes. And I remember how I pronounced Florida. I was going with the we need the we needed. How do you how do you do a?
00:22:53 Brandon
A Floridian accent on that one.
00:22:57 Brandon
Uh.
00:22:57 Andrew
I don't even know the Florida accent sounds like.
00:22:59 Brandon
With you, I'm just.
00:23:02 Brandon
Doing bad redneck and it's by any inspired Vice City, the story is expected to follow the coming duo of Lucia and her male partner.
00:23:13 Brandon
Let's see.
00:23:16 Brandon
There was footage from an unfinished version that was leaked to the Internet back in 2022.
00:23:24 Brandon
It was formally revealed in December of 2023, which I guess is when that trailer is from and then it should be originally scheduled to be released in late 2025. The Xbox Five and the Xbox series X/S also.
00:23:44 Brandon
The PS5 and the Xbox Series S both will have a.
00:23:51 Brandon
Pro version or like a mid mid cycle update released by the time this comes out, I'm pretty sure they've already have the mouse.
00:23:58 Andrew
I'm just start saving my money now.
00:24:00 Brandon
Yeah. For a second. Improved version. Yeah. OK, it's, let's see. Vice City was featured in the original GTA as well as the main setting of Grand Theft Auto, Vice City and Vice City stories and yeah.
00:24:20 Brandon
Umm.
00:24:22 Brandon
22 very.
00:24:24 Brandon
Different games. How? How Grand Theft Auto is evolves.
00:24:26 Andrew
Well, this is I mean this is not a choice, it's it's going to be the new one. I mean the 2 is.
00:24:35 Andrew
Basically, just to tie this over until 3:00.
00:24:38 Andrew
In my opinion.
00:24:40 Brandon
I mean, to be honest, like GTA.
00:24:44 Brandon
Doesn't GTA and GTA2IN London 69 doesn't don't feel like.
00:24:50 Brandon
Grand Theft Auto modern Grand Theft Auto games. Yeah, you know.
00:24:53 Andrew
I was like GTA 3 was life changing and transformative.
00:24:58 Andrew
I mean, not a game.
00:25:00 Brandon
Absolutely. It's still on.
00:25:00 Andrew
What a game. And I also believe that about Ocarina of Time, by the way, those two games that I find to just be like they just figured it out on those games, you know.
00:25:09 Brandon
Both are.
00:25:12 Brandon
Those are my top 10 video games of all time list and I mean we learned more about at least stocking our time doing this podcast and like to know that that was one of the two first.
00:25:28 Brandon
3D games from 64 that Nintendo was working on simultaneously with my Super Mario 64 is crazy because then that's like.
00:25:41 Andrew
Those to find.
00:25:42 Brandon
What what? 3D platforming and adventure looks like? And then of course the first true open sandbox 3D game in Grand Theft Auto.
00:25:53 Andrew
Yeah, crazy. It almost feels like they.
00:25:54 Andrew
Shouldn't even be able to.
00:25:55 Andrew
Do it right, you know.
00:25:57 Brandon
Yeah, like we're.
00:25:57 Andrew
But someone's going to do it.
00:26:00 Brandon
And I think we're lucky that they took the care and the time to do it the way that.
00:26:06 Brandon
Did UM get the table for you?
00:26:08 Andrew
And it was kind of bad too, like in a charming way.
00:26:12 Andrew
A little bit.
00:26:13 Andrew
Like.
00:26:15 Andrew
Some of the some of like the, you know, the graphics are suspect and those are the polygons and there's a ghost town that like existed on the edge of the map that you could like fall into if you did the right little glitch. Like I liked the.
00:26:29 Andrew
It was imperfect, and there were a little Easter eggs and glitches and things you could do to get to places you.
00:26:33 Andrew
Weren't supposed to get, you know.
00:26:35 Brandon
Just like, yeah, yeah, I understand what you're saying. I appreciate that. I I I guess my nostalgia glasses tinted Tinto thinking. It's it's perfect.
00:26:48 Andrew
It's pretty damn perfect.
00:26:50 Brandon
The trailer the It's.
00:26:54 Brandon
When I pick it over GTA6 right now, no, but over GTA4 probably.
00:26:57 Andrew
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:02 Brandon
GTA5. I haven't picked up GTA5 in years at this point.
00:27:07 Andrew
In a minute, yeah.
00:27:08 Brandon
You know, but I guess I would also play GTA6. It's.
00:27:11 Brandon
Not a question.
00:27:12 Andrew
Yeah. All right. Well, let's hit the brake and.
00:27:16 Andrew
Yeah, let's do that now.
00:27:17
Cool.
00:27:19
Uh.
00:27:20 Andrew
And now back to the.
00:27:21 Andrew
No.
00:27:22 Brandon
Uh, I mean following just return to Vice City. I figure we should just go speed cruise about Grand Theft Auto, which is technically Grand Theft Auto Vice City game from 2002. But you know, it's all related. Grand Theft Auto. It's all related.
00:27:32 Andrew
Do it.
00:27:43 Brandon
We're going to be taking.
00:27:45 Brandon
The quiz can you identify these cars from Grand Theft Auto, Vice City, from Andrew Ziegler on BuzzFeed, and the tagline welcome to Vice City. Welcome to the 80s. I know I'm doing a visual quiz for an audio podcast, but you can look at this on.
00:28:07 Brandon
Youtube.com/name and Andy's. But also I don't think I'm going to show this on the episode either, so just link in the description below and you can play along with us and we'll do our best to try to.
00:28:15 Andrew
Right.
00:28:25 Brandon
Do this.
00:28:28 Brandon
For you, I don't know what I'm saying.
00:28:30 Andrew
Well, first one is a sort of marine, not quite sports car, but it is a copay with the wheels from a grand piano. It's a lot from top.
00:28:38 Brandon
Mm-hmm.
00:28:43 Andrew
Gear. It's really the 80s.
00:28:43 Brandon
Voice.
00:28:45 Andrew
Address. Is it the in furnace, the deluxo, the cheetah or the bobcat?
00:28:50 Brandon
Do you remember? I know what this one is. This is my favorite car because the silver one reminded me a little bit.
00:28:57 Brandon
Of a dilone.
00:28:58 Andrew
I want to say it's a cheetah.
00:29:00 Brandon
It is a cheetah.
00:29:02 Brandon
Although the Deluxo is actually the.
00:29:05 Brandon
Dorian, I believe.
00:29:07 Andrew
Ohh doesn't tell you if you got it.
00:29:08 Andrew
Right. I mean, you wait till the end.
00:29:09 Brandon
Ohh, we're right. The next one is kind of like the Lamborghini Diablo clone. For this one it's a little boxier but but yes, it's blue and hatred in this one and.
00:29:12 Andrew
I know.
00:29:29 Andrew
God, you know, spoiler and some alloys.
00:29:32 Brandon
Is this the inference? The Banshee, the comet or the Phoenix?
00:29:38 Andrew
These this looks.
00:29:39 Andrew
Worse than the graphics in GTA3, at least the pictures are showing us.
00:29:42 Brandon
I mean, I assume it's like cropped out and blown out.
00:29:45 Andrew
Is this the? Is this the new furnace?
00:29:49 Brandon
This is the inference which is in Grand Theft Auto 3. The inference was not a.
00:29:58 Brandon
Whenever you looking thing right.
00:30:01 Andrew
All right, I don't remember actually. Next one looks kind of like a kind of like a ruler Camaro Corvette cross in a way. It's got a big super blown supercharger vents on the hood of.
00:30:13 Andrew
Scoop.
00:30:14 Andrew
If you will, it's got sort of like the low slung front headlights and the long front end.
00:30:19 Brandon
I always thought this is I always thought this was a.
00:30:23 Brandon
Damn, I just had it. I always thought this was a firebird flung.
00:30:28 Andrew
And I walk the. Ohh yeah, firebird.
00:30:30 Andrew
I can see that, yeah.
00:30:32 Andrew
Is it a bobcat? A Stinger? The Banshee or Phoenix?
00:30:37 Brandon
Do you know?
00:30:38 Andrew
I want to say Stinger.
00:30:39 Brandon
I'm pretty sure this.
00:30:40 Brandon
Is the phoenix.
00:30:41 Andrew
OK. All right, good. Go with it. Go with it.
00:30:46 Brandon
Next one is like a beach buggy as it's open open cab and has fat wheels and hydraulics was.
00:30:49 Andrew
Ah yes.
00:31:01 Andrew
That's PHAT. There's big suspension.
00:31:03 Brandon
That.
00:31:05 Brandon
That's the word I'm looking for.
00:31:07 Andrew
Long travel suspension for going in dunes.
00:31:10 Brandon
Is this the sand king? The dune buggy, the BF injection or the bobcat?
00:31:17 Andrew
I think it's the BF injection, isn't it?
00:31:18 Brandon
It is absolutely the BF injection or as.
00:31:22 Brandon
You say you got all this.
00:31:25 Brandon
Kevin.
00:31:27 Brandon
Sure. Not the BJ infection.
00:31:31 Andrew
They say that that's.
00:31:32 Brandon
Use the callback.
00:31:34 Andrew
Terrific. See, I was a genius back then too. This one is a red coupe once again with alloy wheels. Kind of a curved front end with like the circular recessed headlights. Is it the Saber turbo, the banshee? The LANDSTALKER or the comet?
00:31:51 Brandon
Uh, this is the banshee. Uh, this is like this is my favorite car on the first island.
00:31:57 Brandon
Because.
00:31:57 Brandon
You couldn't find the cheetah that easily.
00:32:01 Andrew
OK.
00:32:02 Brandon
And it kind of is this one, this is the one looks like the 80s Corvette, right, the banshee?
00:32:08 Andrew
Yeah. Yeah, kind of. Yep.
00:32:10 Brandon
Next up, we have a Derby car with decals on it for Kay chat and other other Rockstar things or game games.
00:32:23 Brandon
Rings, which is the blood ring. Banging the hot ring racer, the voodoo or the rumpo?
00:32:29 Andrew
I think it was the hot.
00:32:30 Andrew
Ring racer, wasn't it?
00:32:31 Brandon
That sounds correct, cause the hot hot ring racing was at the stadium, yeah.
00:32:37
Yeah.
00:32:39 Andrew
The next one is a blue convertible coupe.
00:32:45 Andrew
It looks like all.
00:32:46 Andrew
The other ones.
00:32:47 Brandon
Or or. Yeah. Or is this one the Corvette 1?
00:32:51 Andrew
Is this the Sabre turbo, the Hot ring racer, the Deluxo or the Stinger?
00:32:54 Brandon
That's definitely the Stinger.
00:32:56 Andrew
You think?
00:32:57 Brandon
Yeah, alright. Yeah.
00:32:58
OK.
00:33:00 Andrew
I don't know, so I'll let you have that one.
00:33:01 Brandon
OK, Next up is a looks like an in port 80s hot hatchback a.
00:33:12 Brandon
The UM like a like a Honda.
00:33:16 Andrew
Yeah. And like a greasy beigy brown green Gray.
00:33:21 Brandon
Like like the? Yeah, like civic hatchback. Did they have those back in the 80s? I don't know. Is this the stallion? The ballistic compact, the Virgo or the pony?
00:33:34 Andrew
Blister compact.
00:33:35 Brandon
Science, the most upon compact.
00:33:37 Andrew
Looks right.
00:33:40 Brandon
Almost there.
00:33:42 Andrew
All right, we've got a truck like the farm truck with, like the back end crate thing. The white truck looks old school. Is it the Mesa Grande, the Walton, the patriot or the rancher?
00:33:43 Brandon
Not almost fair.
00:33:49 Brandon
Mm-hmm.
00:33:56 Brandon
This.
00:33:56 Andrew
I will say it's the rancher.
00:33:59 Brandon
I also want to say that, but I I also recall the music Grande being.
00:34:05 Brandon
Like he's I don't recall the rancher.
00:34:07 Brandon
Being a a.
00:34:08 Brandon
Car.
00:34:10 Andrew
OK, Mesa Grande.
00:34:11 Brandon
Do you do you? Do you? No, I'm I I don't know either. Uh, I know. Yeah, it's gonna answer.
00:34:13 Andrew
Don't know.
00:34:17 Andrew
I'm your rancher.
00:34:21 Andrew
OK.
00:34:22 Brandon
Next.
00:34:22 Brandon
Up we have the it's a purple kind of.
00:34:29 Andrew
It looks like a Bel Air Cuban style.
00:34:30 Brandon
Chicken. Yeah. Bel Air. Is it the Glendale, the perennial, the Regina or the Washington?
00:34:34 Andrew
Yeah.
00:34:40 Andrew
I have no idea.
00:34:41 Brandon
I think that one's Glendale.
00:34:43 Andrew
OK. Also a city in California.
00:34:45 Brandon
Mm-hmm.
00:34:47 Andrew
We haven't got a kind of a yellow hatchback. It's like an AMC kind of thing, like a wing.
00:34:55 Brandon
I I think.
00:34:55 Brandon
They're going from the DeLorean on this one like.
00:35:00
The.
00:35:01 Andrew
Is it the Hermes, the Saber, the Sentinel excess or the deluxo?
00:35:05 Brandon
That's the dark self.
00:35:08 Andrew
OK. Nice. You knew it.
00:35:10 Brandon
Umm, Next up, we got the Hummer. The Humvee green is the hunter, the enforcer of the patriot. Or the rhino?
00:35:19 Andrew
That's the patriot.
00:35:20 Brandon
Here you go.
00:35:22 Andrew
And we've got a couple more. If you had a red van.
00:35:27 Andrew
Is it the pony, the Benson, the burrito or the Moonbeam? You say it's the moonbeam.
00:35:34 Brandon
Oh yeah, moving or it's moving or moving or pulling. I don't remember which one.
00:35:35 Andrew
Yeah.
00:35:41 Andrew
Oh, actually it might be.
00:35:45 Andrew
Yeah, I think it's a really old moonbeam.
00:35:47 Brandon
Yeah, let's go. Movie. I mean, red souped up. Red band with some game graffiti on the side. I think it was just the rumpo the burrito, the gang burrito or the Packer?
00:36:02 Andrew
I'm pretty sure it's the gang barrier, you know.
00:36:04 Brandon
Are you sure? I I remember burrito.
00:36:07 Andrew
That's ohh really.
00:36:10 Andrew
It feels like that's what it was.
00:36:14 Brandon
Let's go game for you even.
00:36:18 Andrew
All right.
00:36:21 Brandon
But then the last one would been a burrito.
00:36:24 Andrew
Yeah, they look different.
00:36:25 Brandon
I thought that's the same one.
00:36:27 Andrew
The grill is different. The corner markers are different.
00:36:31 Andrew
Bumper is slightly different.
00:36:34 Brandon
Right, because it's modified.
00:36:36 Andrew
I don't know. You can go. I.
00:36:37 Andrew
I'm I'm sticking.
00:36:39 Andrew
With.
00:36:39 Brandon
I'll go with you. Are you lost?
00:36:45 Andrew
You have one more. No, I have one more. It's a.
00:36:47 Brandon
Yes.
00:36:49 Andrew
Sedan.
00:36:51 Andrew
And like a light steel.
00:36:57 Andrew
That's about it. They're dark teal, the Washington, a Sentinel, a Benson, or a Virgo.
00:37:06
That.
00:37:06 Andrew
The Washington.
00:37:08 Brandon
I think the Washington was a 2 door.
00:37:10 Andrew
OK. Then I would say it's the.
00:37:12 Brandon
I think it's a son. I think it's a son-in-law.
00:37:13 Andrew
Devious Sentinel.
00:37:18 Andrew
My I just lost all mine. It's just crap.
00:37:20 Brandon
Was it something? Did you, did you? Uh, you lost all yours.
00:37:22 Andrew
You didn't let me do it. It it crashed.
00:37:24 Andrew
Before I could click it.
00:37:25 Brandon
It was the Washington. I'm sorry. We got 11 out of 15. We got unimpressive. Let's see. We got.
00:37:36 Brandon
The Cheetah, the Infernus, the Phoenix, the BF injection. The Banshee is the blood ring banger banger unfortunately, got the Stinger. The blister compact the rancher was actually the Walton, so that's are correct. The Glendale, the Deluxo, the Patriots, the.
00:37:50 Andrew
Ah.
00:37:56 Brandon
The Moonbeam was actually a pony.
00:37:59 Brandon
And then we were correct, it was a gang burrito. And then the last one was Washington. Yeah. So thanks for a very visual upside of me for our 250th official episode. I feel like we should talk about that at the top.
00:38:05 Andrew
Variance.
00:38:12
Yeah.
00:38:18 Andrew
