It is currently December the 14th at time of recording, but we are going to release two episodes over the next couple of weeks. Yeah, so keep an eye out for those. Much love, and as we get started, I think Andrew had something we wanted to talk about. I'm going to swap to this one. So I want to talk about the game awards, because they just happened this week and I didn't watch the entire stream. I watched a couple of summaries and I thought it'd be good for us to say what we thought the best release of the year was, personally, and then what we think the best ongoing game award was, because I think that's a really interesting award that they give out. Yeah, which is one of the awards. So what do you think?
Speaker 2:I didn't watch it at all, but I was like what's the ongoing game? Awesome Makes sense. I mean, it was pretty damn funny. I mean obviously, first off, we were right, yes, folder's Gate 3. We were right, obviously.
Speaker 3:And we need to talk about this because there are a lot of Spider-Man stands out there that are real butthurt by it.
Speaker 2:I am so angry and they're just exposing themselves in saying that they've never even heard of this game. Like how does this game I've never heard of win? That's telling of what you play, yeah.
Speaker 3:You are exposing yourself Like it just shows how narrow-minded you are to not even know what the game of the year is when it's announced. Which is wild, like we're not talking. Like best indie game of the year, we're talking about like actual game release this year. Yeah, so Mind's Folder's Gate, as I assume yours is.
Speaker 2:I mean, it had to be. There were so many good games.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But that one was obviously a cut above.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean just how long it took. Like oh man, we were playing the beta, pseudo beta, like the pre-release stuff, like three years ago.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We were just like. I need more of this in my life.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it was good then. It was good then. Yeah, but it's release was did not disappoint, honestly, so good.
Speaker 2:Refined, but yeah, it was just really quite funny.
Speaker 3:We had to pull some more. Night is to finish it because G didn't play it. In fact, now would have been a really good time to be playing it, Now that you've had a baby and you've got like no time to spare we could have just been like playing now.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:All great games.
Speaker 3:I maintain it's a good game for us to play now Ever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I've still had the campaign which I started with. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Because you can just drop in, drop out. It's pretty fucking good, and your character just kicks along. So, Q Andrew voting Genshin.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's a good one actually Continuous game, sadly for me, is Genshin, genshin.
Speaker 4:Yeah, because sadly though you enjoy playing it it's a guilty pleasure.
Speaker 2:Like it's not like the storyline, pretty garbage. Like the gameplay mechanics and like just how addictive. It is Right, keeps me coming back Pure, pure playability alone. Yeah, it's really fun and a lot of time and well fake money invested in it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah. You know, probably some real money too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, or if you're the real money just just spend on that Some.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But, like I definitely have, I don't want to ever again but you know it's got a battle pass though right Cod skins yeah, Drags you back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, if I just kept rolling to get a random chance to get that new character I wanted.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like I like like we're playing call of duty and war zone at the moment and I didn't get the battle pass or the like legacy edition of the game for any extras. But then they dropped like a cat suit in the in the store and I was like, okay, yeah, I'll spend $30 on that yeah.
Speaker 2:And you can have a cat out, I will spend a set. Let's get a normal one.
Speaker 3:Dude if they keep releasing different cats. I'll just keep getting them. Speaking of call of duty, Do you think best? Ongoing game Call of duty.
Speaker 2:No, no, okay, yeah it like I love cod, I love playing cod, but it's hot garbage every year and we just enjoy it. Yeah, true, like like what this year specifically, particularly Mon Moe Fair three? I don't think so. Yeah, mon Moe Fair two, part two. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, which I must admit, I'm totally down with that. The Mon Moe Fair two maps were some of the greatest maps of all cod time.
Speaker 4:Yeah so.
Speaker 2:I'm stoked to their back. Yeah, like, don't call it Mon Moe Fair three, because the same reason I'm angry, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, like it's been said by a million people, but yeah, it's stupid that they released the game at a full price point and release some guns.
Speaker 2:We saw those maps were coming pre the last release.
Speaker 4:Yes, the actual Mon Moe Fair.
Speaker 2:Two, and I'm like oh sweet, they're dropping the map, they're bringing back the old maps for the old game. They waited a year Because they were like, oh, we're out of content, like, let's just, oh, sorry.
Speaker 3:Jamie did you.
Speaker 2:Did you?
Speaker 4:You want to check your phone?
Speaker 1:You know what? I was going to post? Something for us. Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do through.
Speaker 3:There was a game I hid in the intentar for my brother the second day of playing right and I was like I love code and like I'm actually enjoying it again, which is great and I absolutely love it, but, like you know, it can't be games that actually, so some unexplained the same.
Speaker 2:I'm back into it. Yeah, what is this creed? So Chris judge, the voice actor of Craidyce right, did a massive like eight minute speech last year, my eight minute speech this year, but, fun fact, my eight minute speech was longer than this year's caller duty cabane Am.
Speaker 3:I right, I mean he's not wrong, like he's like a hundred percent right.
Speaker 2:It doesn't matter like short and sweet is a thing. However, he's not wrong and everyone once again like they're all like wha and it's like he's not wrong, though, like what's the point?
Speaker 3:People are angry about that. That's a funny joke. Yeah, everyone they love.
Speaker 2:A bunch of devs are just like they're like and like people are like clapping back, like that's a good joke, that's a bad. It's a funny joke, but like they're like oh, we didn't expect it from a peer. And you're like come on, come on, he's a voice actor.
Speaker 4:Come on, he's a true.
Speaker 3:He's loosely. Yeah, that's very that's fucking clutching.
Speaker 4:It fucking straws there.
Speaker 3:It's like it's a part of the development of the game.
Speaker 2:Who was it? I think it might have been the voice actor for price Captain, price Right, like, just posted something or fucking tweeted it or whatever fucking X factor shit. It is now.
Speaker 1:Right right right, we say tweet.
Speaker 4:We're just checking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, he posted something that got taken down. It was just like imagine your game. It was some shit about like oh, imagine people being done with your game after they completed or wouldn't know about that.
Speaker 4:I'm like just because people play card Fucking. But her yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty funny, it's just like. It's like yeah.
Speaker 3:Make the game.
Speaker 2:I don't know what you like mad, but like it's a funny joke because it's well pretty true.
Speaker 3:Dude, even who's a Hollywood actor? Like fucking like name any Hollywood actor right County Reeves. You got to County Reeves and he go dude, Constantine sucked and you sucked in it. He'd be like sweet.
Speaker 4:Yeah, whatever, he's laughing all the way to the fucking.
Speaker 2:Anyway, we're going to do a sequel.
Speaker 3:Jesus Christ man like pull yourselves together, like come on. He's like and that's a joke, my man like that's like why is everyone getting so butt hurt about that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, it was just a yeah. It was some shit about like oh, imagine having your player base drop off once they've completed your game. You're like well, I mean God, it's an entire different thing, god of war.
Speaker 3:It's a story. Yeah, someone was a narrative.
Speaker 2:Someone was posting shit about like, oh like, all of the codes outweigh your game or something like you know money or blah blah, blah, blah blah, yeah, well, that's what codes about? Just churning money, yeah, so the one thing in that buggy game that never breaks the store the store. You can always, you can sometimes you can't even join a server, but you can always buy it Sure as hell.
Speaker 3:Check to fuck it Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's some players that love the game. It's a fucking joke but it's a great game, it's not you. G. It's not you. It's not you.
Speaker 4:And then they can't hear it, so yeah, you're good, but yeah, it's pretty funny I love how I enjoy playing it.
Speaker 2:But like they deserve to be ripped.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Every now and again, even when they make like like this card feels great, it's actually not that buggy.
Speaker 3:It's big enough that they should just be copying it on the machine anyway. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, like people want to shit talk. People want to shit talk your game. That makes the most money out of any other franchise. Just let them do it, you look pathetic FPS beef, fps beef.
Speaker 2:It doesn't get to talk about good quality games. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:And and and you know, like God of War is like such an astronomically Well made game and its story is like amazing movie quality, like both voice acting, but like, even just like the mo cap and like it's so good it's such a good game, you're into it.
Speaker 2:That shit will bring a tear to your eye. Yeah, like it is, you need it and it's like.
Speaker 3:It's like reading a book, that's like. That's like someone who, like, is in a TV show going up to an author and saying man, I must suck them. When people finish your book, they're done with it.
Speaker 2:It's exactly right. Yeah, fucking stupid. It's like so insane, oh man, absolutely bizarre.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I digress.
Speaker 2:Good times, good times. But have you seen? Obviously the, since we were last year, the GTA six trailer. Ah, yes, and good Lord, are we excited about it?
Speaker 3:Yeah, we, we, yeah. Well, like between us alone, we would have put together like almost 2000 hours of GTA in just this last year, this last year. Yeah, so we started playing GTA online in December last year.
Speaker 2:Basically. When we stopped streaming, yeah, disappeared into a rabbit hole of GTA online.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's off the face of the earth and then since then I've put like about 750 on the board. You'd be pretty somewhere. Pretty comparable, yeah. It'd be similar and G I think you were like maybe four ish, three, four ish. Last time I checked Even Jamie's on the board. Yeah, and Jamie's on it?
Speaker 4:I think, yeah, you're definitely on three figures.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So it's just like something that we really delved into. But I am noticing that throughout all of these announcements they haven't mentioned anything about PC or online A touch alarming. They obviously will do online, because that's how they keep a player base.
Speaker 2:The online doesn't didn't drop for like at least six months, maybe a year after like the actual game came out last time, so I expect the same thing the pace, the pace, here at least, was a year and a half, almost two years. I think after sadly, you might be expecting the same thing. Yeah, and you know what?
Speaker 3:Like I look at the release date and I'm like, all right, I'm just going to add a year to that for me and I'm just going to wear that on the chin. That's too bad, because I'm like not getting it on console.
Speaker 4:I'm going to have to get a console Dude, I can't game on console.
Speaker 3:I just don't have the. It's all right to be bad at GTA, I'll have to get an Xbox because I need to be able to take it back Like wafer PC.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I need to be able to hook up a mouse.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But we did not get to. Giuseppe, what do you think your game of the year was?
Speaker 4:I didn't play enough games. To be honest, I played a lot of the same game.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, what about continuous game then?
Speaker 4:continuous Probably, I'd say either called GTA, okay.
Speaker 1:GTA is this far along. Obviously, we love.
Speaker 3:GTA.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean it is continuous and it's they keep releasing, they do, they release content.
Speaker 3:They change the content online every week. They release expansions, yeah, almost every three months.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they haven't gone. They've like yeah, they've kept putting stuff in.
Speaker 3:There's always something new to do, at least for a week or two.
Speaker 2:As part. Is it's free? Yeah, and yeah they are free DLCs.
Speaker 3:Yeah, by far the best part. Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 4:Because what other games came out this year that's notable, apart from? Like there's obviously Zelda, yeah, which I didn't play. I watched Laura play it a bit.
Speaker 3:Did anyone get the nominees? Can someone pull up the nominees and just have a look? I'll tell you that the winner of the continuous game this year was cyberpunk.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's excellent, yeah, so that makes me happy.
Speaker 3:I didn't see that coming, because I would have 100% thought it was Fortnite. Yeah, how you doing All right, so sorry, we don't look at chat a lot.
Speaker 4:Thanks for coming in.
Speaker 3:And if you want to let us know your game of the year and your continuous game of the year.
Speaker 1:So Bolt is gate three. Yep Alan Wake two. Oh, that's the one I was forgetting Super Mario. Brothers wonder oh, banger. Legend of Zelda Great.
Speaker 3:Resident Evil four.
Speaker 1:And Marvel Spider-Man two.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what's Marvel? Spider-man two. So.
Speaker 3:Spider-Man did get stiffed a bit because they got beaten up by Alan Wake in the one category that they could have won, which was best narrative game, I think, and like when the Spider-Man stands didn't get that award. They thought that they were going to get game of the year because they didn't know that Bolt is gate existed. That's pretty funny, yeah. So I was going to say that I thought that the best continuous game, not knowing any in the category, I would have assumed it was going to go to Fortnite, because Fortnite released OG. They brought back their original map or their original guns, which, if they did that in Warzone, you know, people would stop going to work for weeks. And then, on top of that, they released more content. That's better. Their game is actually better now.
Speaker 4:That was probably. I played that a fair bit. Yeah, you did put in a bit of Fortnite yeah.
Speaker 3:I took some time to get Cyberpunk out of the way, because it was very good Heavy suggest, by the way. I would have thought that for now, would have won, though.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, even though I liked Cyberpunk better, that's my pick. I would have thought the for now would have won that race because, like what they did for their community, that's a big deal. Yeah, they really pulled in the OG stuff and put it back for like what? Like a month it would have taken so much effort.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Fucking sick. Really good, that is pretty cool. So what about you?
Speaker 1:Jamie Super Mario Wonder. Yeah, I've really enjoyed that. Yeah, bolt is gate was rad, but I need to play it more.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you only played a couple of sets Because my hottest character is in your campaign. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1:We have a good squad in that campaign.
Speaker 3:Dude, she's hot, Like in a non-ironic, like non-gamey way. She's very attractive.
Speaker 2:I think that's the one where you and I both made two things. Yes, we made two things. We didn't discuss it.
Speaker 3:We're just like, we're just on our own, and then we joined the game and we both had the same race.
Speaker 2:Basically mirrors the different skit and then ongoing. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, for me it's probably Fortnite. Yeah, that's like a, because I love it. Yeah, you're a big Fortnite guy. That makes sense.
Speaker 3:But I can see GTA wouldn't be too far behind it. Yeah, and like GTA, like I think this is just a thing for us this year because, like we just covered it, this year To be honest, gta is great and they.
Speaker 2:I love that they keep updating stuff, but they don't put enough work in to make it like they drip.
Speaker 3:They just drippin' it along yeah.
Speaker 2:It's like every six months you get a big overhaul or some extra stuff added, but otherwise they just keep the game running, which is great. That's all you need. It's a great game, yeah.
Speaker 4:For me it's more of like a like for game, like game of the year or my favorite game. It's like more of a social thing for me.
Speaker 2:Like could you play this year? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Instead of. I haven't really been playing many like single player games at all recently, like over the past couple of years. It's mostly just been playing with you guys, yeah, so like that's kind of what I base mine off.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:I think it's fucking awesome, especially GD yeah.
Speaker 3:They'll also shout out to my favorite indie game of the year, which was Pizza Tower. They got nominated but they didn't win. But they got nominated and I'm happy. They're a studio that have literally made only one game and it's a fucking sick game. It's very cheap. Go to Steam. We're not sponsored by it. It's fucking sick. It's really really cool. Wario meets Sonic, kind of vibe. Very funny game Mechanically. So you know, when you play Celeste and everything just feels right when you play it.
Speaker 4:It's like that, yeah.
Speaker 3:It just everything feels so intentionally correct movement wise.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's really fluid and it's like very, very fluid. Yeah. Yeah, celeste is actually is up there for me. I reckon like I really like that game in terms of just games in general.
Speaker 3:Just games in general. The studio is making another game, but I forgot what it is, so I'm glad I brought it up, yeah.
Speaker 1:Very cool, very cool Wait.
Speaker 3:Celeste or the studio that made Celeste making a new game, but I kind of remember what it is.
Speaker 2:It was the games isn't it the one that did Tauful? Did he make?
Speaker 3:Celeste.
Speaker 2:I don't think he did. I could be getting it wrong. Yeah, I thought.
Speaker 3:Thank you, jamie, you know what.
Speaker 2:Please do Fact check, fact check. So we're deciding who is the best one. He 100% did. Don't check it.
Speaker 3:That's just like that in the world.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maddie makes games. Oh, it was oh, there you go.
Speaker 2:Andrew plays a whole bunch of games. That's a good game.
Speaker 3:We should play Towerfall.
Speaker 1:That was a good game.
Speaker 3:Actually, yeah, that extension is amazing. We should play Broforce, we should play it for a player. They're releasing Broforce on Switch.
Speaker 4:That is a great game. That was a really fun game.
Speaker 3:That's a good console, for it to be released on.
Speaker 4:Yeah, really good. For sure, we should play Towerfall though.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Towerfall is fucking sick, and also we were going to play like a bunch of Shredder's Revenge and then we clocked it in one night.
Speaker 2:I honestly thought that would have more content.
Speaker 4:Yeah, me too. Yeah, that was a short gap, that was like two hours.
Speaker 3:I say clocked it we finished the main campaign and then we got Casey Jones and we were like, OK, we're done. And then we watched the Ninja Turtles movie.
Speaker 2:We did, we did, we were like I guess we'll just turn in. Actually, we could just watch the movie when you finish a game. It's kind of like I don't know, kind of done that.
Speaker 3:That's what I've been at Boulder's Gate because we have like four campaigns going.
Speaker 2:Then we finished it and we were like, ok, that's it for that, that's what I needed to finish that one, though, I think I'm ready again now.
Speaker 3:I think I'm ready again now.
Speaker 2:Did you see they added like a hardcore mode or something Like you can't save. You can save, but if you die, your save doesn't save. Oh, yeah, yeah, Like you wipe, you wipe, or actually I think I thought they'd be nice. Like. You can play that mode it's like, but then when you wipe your save becomes a normal save, like it kicks it down. You only get the one chance to roll through the hard hard mode or whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 4:Holy shit, that is pretty cool.
Speaker 2:Also game of the year, baby.
Speaker 3:Game of the year.
Speaker 4:Yeah, spider-man 2.
Speaker 3:Spider-Man stands. So I got a question for each of you and then I got another sort of follow up question for everyone else to answer. So if you were, or maybe how am I going to phrase this question? I want to say maybe your spirit animal or like, if you could turn into an animal, like what? What would that be? Like animal style? You could turn into an animal. Yeah, let's go with that.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 3:Like you could morph into it.
Speaker 1:I don't know why, but I want to be a bear. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 4:Sweet, I grizzly bear.
Speaker 1:There's no like real reasoning. I don't have like an attribute that it's like. I want that because of it.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Just be a bear.
Speaker 3:Dude, I can't not think about this, but I remember seeing like a statistic that some people it was like an American thing but it would be everywhere. Some people like a very small percentage but think that they could take a grizzly bear.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard this as well. Wow, like with their bare hands.
Speaker 4:Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3:Like if they were in a fight or flight situation with a bear, they think they could take it. Yeah Right, I'm just. Who are you?
Speaker 4:Like it's too big thing.
Speaker 3:You could fight a bear One swat from that bear You're finished. Bro, people don't realize how big and strong I am. No, the bears don't realize it Dude, I would fuck it Dude.
Speaker 1:I would just get the bear like this no.
Speaker 2:I put it in an armbar. I could see you.
Speaker 4:You start like scooching on the ground like a fucking Jiu-Jitsu.
Speaker 3:The Jiu-Jitsu.
Speaker 2:Don't make him tap Come on, come on, come on.
Speaker 1:Tap your bitch. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Speaker 2:Tap, come on, come on, come on, tap Come on, come on. Tap.
Speaker 4:Tap, come on Tap.
Speaker 3:Come on, I would feel confident winning that bet. It doesn't matter like who you are. You could be a professional fighter. You could be like someone who does guerrilla warfare. You can't do it bare handed, no chance. Absolutely not.
Speaker 2:Absolutely wild, and the fact that they'll be able to run faster and climb faster than you. Love that You're not gonna get away. Love that You're fucked.
Speaker 3:Good luck, yeah good, run Outrun a bear up a tree, yeah, cool.

Speaker 4:People that don't know Liam that well. He has an uncanny bizarre knowledge.
Speaker 2:I do have a weird about it, about birds.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's so fucking bizarre that I had no idea.
Speaker 1:It's like at some point in his life he fell asleep with like an audiobook of bird knowledge on and woke up and had absorbed into his brain.
Speaker 3:It was like clockwork already. I was like stop, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Think you should have had. Who would you shit on first? That is a great question, that is a good question.
Speaker 1:Good question, so many choices.
Speaker 3:Oh no, very easy Politicians come to mind very quickly Scott Morrison.
Speaker 4:Name one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Scott Morrison be bang on. Yeah, like he's honestly just the biggest piece of shit. Oh God, like Ash will. Yeah, I'm not gonna get into that. I don't wanna talk politics.
Speaker 4:The main thing is it's a piece of shit, absolutely just real piece of work.
Speaker 3:What about you, Andrew?
Speaker 2:Who would I shit on first? No yeah.
Speaker 4:I was assuming.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I don't know. I think wolves would be pretty cool, but at the same time, like yeah, bears man, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1:There is a good choice.
Speaker 2:There's a good, strong choice because, like, why not? Also it fits my demographic. But no, I was definitely thinking like an eagle or something, something you could fly as well, because just the idea of being able to fly under your own power would be so fucking cool, yeah. But then, you know, weak little bird burns, would break and be sad.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that is sad. But I mean you just shift back right, like, if you're fine, yeah, like, yeah like what if it was like that one character in Adam Wolf's, where you turn into it and then you just have to stay turned into it, but you still have the same answer Like forever, yeah, ooh.
Speaker 4:Yeah, why not? Yeah, maybe it may be a dog, yeah.
Speaker 2:Something just chilling society.
Speaker 3:You're already a dog.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:No, no, you want to talk to something different. Yeah, you didn't mean to, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh shit. It's not what I'm talking about. You can't, oh shit.
Speaker 2:Well, I guess I'd go for a thoroughbred racehorse on a stud farm.
Speaker 1:A thoroughbred racehorse yeah.
Speaker 2:At least sit back and enjoy my laugh.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like, the longer you're that animal, the more like your like sexual proclivities align with you know. I was just saying, if you had to stay that way, yeah yeah, yeah, I'm like hmm, yes, interesting you would say that though because I did think I initially went to horse. I don't know why. I feel like they're just like, like. So they have like this weird way of like communicating without speaking, and I feel like, as a horse person, in a horse's body, you would be able to communicate in some sort of way.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I got what you're saying yeah and I guess if you were stuck in a like one of the parrots or something like, mimics actual language, you'd be fucking laughing.
Speaker 3:Most parrots can speak up to about 15 words and then, like some of them can like, speak like a ton.
Speaker 2:See, but that's what. I was getting at If you were.
Speaker 3:still, you stuck in the bird form you just fucking talk to cunts and hilarious, that's true, actually, yeah you'd be fine.
Speaker 2:You could, like you, get put in movies and fed the good bird seed, like Paulie Paulie.
Speaker 3:Paulie and the other bird movie, the real McCall. Any other bird movies? Probably, probably not. Aladdin has birds in it. Oh Yago, yeah that guy died. Did you see the? Do you see that thing? The guys from Cold Ones got the Yago guy to say he was on cameo. Gilbert Godfreyd, yeah, Gilbert Godfreyd. And he just like doesn't have limits. So they would just make him say the most fucking outlandish shit, it was so funny.
Speaker 3:I love that it's not our podcast, so I'm not going to play it. But like, yeah, definitely look that up. Gilbert Godfreyd cameo and it's the guys from Cold Ones. Like that's funny shit, man.
Speaker 4:Who would you, what would you choose? Was horse your answer?
Speaker 3:Yeah, horse is my answer. I'm going to go with horse. I like horse, yeah.
Speaker 2:Cool. Is that only if you had to stay, or is it in general? Oh, just in general, I think yeah, just fast.
Speaker 4:Because we have strong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hung. Yeah, Big big old hung dong, all stuff, I know now it's a big hung, it feels very strong affair.
Speaker 2:Dude plus Christy would really like it.
Speaker 3:Dude, if I could turn into a horse, Christy would be so stoked.
Speaker 3:And then my follow up question to that was what do we think that person would turn into if it was just like, like a patronus. You don't get to choose what it is. You just don't get to choose what it is. You just like something in your essence makes you turn into that animal when you will yourself to do so. So what do we think Jamie would turn into? Oh, so, you know, I think that person would turn into a person that you don't know yeah.
Speaker 4:I don't know.
Speaker 3:For example.
Speaker 2:Why is he giving us the eyes?
Speaker 3:Panda.
Speaker 2:Panda Panda.
Speaker 3:You're okay with that?
Speaker 4:Yeah, for me, panda I'm straight to panda, still in the bear family.
Speaker 1:It's still in the bear family Bags under the eyes.
Speaker 3:No, it's just like something about like I don't know, there's something about your personality that leads into panda. I think it's Jesus Koala, for sure, that is actually pretty.
Speaker 4:I was going to say one bat for myself. Yeah, I'd say that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm going to use. I'm going to use fig juice as one for you. I'm going to say koala, I'll take koala.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I approve Just fucking sit around, yeah, high or day off. You could lip sleeves.
Speaker 3:Andrew's a bear, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2:I was when you were originally asking. I was going to say bear.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was like I have to say bear.
Speaker 2:Everyone's going to expect bear.
Speaker 4:I'm like yeah, I'm like some kind of fast land animal Like a, I don't know, like a, like a cheetah, like a gazelle, oh, like a gazelle.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:I see that yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I can jump weirdly high.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have a bizarrely high jump yeah.
Speaker 4:That was easier than I thought it would be yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:No one's feelings got hurt. I can see that.
Speaker 2:God damn. All right, you know what? Fig juice. Just all of us. Please go.
Speaker 4:You're very good at this game. Yeah, I mean we can hurt Jamie's feelings. What are the other ones? Yeah, I said Laura was a polar bear, polar bear. Yeah, okay, it's pretty pretty rad Brutal.
Speaker 3:No more of a violently brutal.
Speaker 4:Yeah yeah, very brutal animal yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and you're a bit of a killer whale as well, yeah.
Speaker 2:Orca. Orca, jamie's an otter.
Speaker 1:They are cutest. Jamie is an otter.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:What did you say? Oh, that's fine, that's awesome Okay.
Speaker 2:Good. I was like what the shit dude so good at this yeah, well done, and you got one left I mean, what else is? Going to be Bear Bear.
Speaker 3:But not the animal, the leatherchaps, all right. So I was thinking of like I was talking with people about like their general fears and like the fear of like heights came up and stuff like that. But I wanted to see first of all, I wanted to ask about like are you guys good with theme park rights?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, hidden myths, but I'm not too bad.
Speaker 3:Right In a way that, like you get scared on them, or you or they make you feel sick.
Speaker 1:I have a like oh no, not sick.
Speaker 3:Not sick, okay, yep.
Speaker 4:You think they're going to like pull it a bit.
Speaker 1:No, no, Till I'm like once I get on it and it's going, I'm fine.
Speaker 4:Yeah, okay, cool, I just need to get myself in the.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I am.
Speaker 3:So it's the anticipation, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Same for me.
Speaker 2:I when I was little, like 12 or something, when we went to like Queensland, you know you do the three-packed super bus. Yeah, yeah, I, um, I definitely psyched myself out and push it out, and then when I was a bit older, when I went again, I just like made myself go on. I had a great time, oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I kind of like I got like I don't know I had too long to think about it. Yeah, the last line. I'm like actually no, yeah, but uh. But when I went back and went on I was like this is sick, let's immediately go back on Interesting yeah. So yeah, I don't get sick or anything, but like if I overthink it, I psyched myself out, gotcha.
Speaker 3:So it's the anticipation. A hundred percent. Yeah, that's like with a great many things in life.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:How are you G? I like theme parks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, go on and ride. They're mad, they're mad.
Speaker 4:Oh, there's the fears there, but the thrill of it is like it overweighs it.
Speaker 2:Yes, it really does. It's like I have to force myself to go on some of those, but I'm like, holy shit, that was fun. Yeah, yeah, same thing Like yeah.
Speaker 4:Super fun if you go. I got to hear it. Also the fear of it malfunctioning, and like you know, we, we, we do them.
Speaker 3:I think I'm confused about that.
Speaker 1:I mean, I think like that might be something, because when I was like 11, a guy died at the Melbourne show in front of me.
Speaker 4:Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:What, jimmy unpack that? Yeah, so there was. It was that story button first. There we go, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:It's pretty heavy though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it was that right where you all sit. You all sit in a row, like, and then it spins around. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Wipe out.
Speaker 1:So what happened was it was one of the fucking ride operators, though he's gone in cause. Something wasn't working, like it was something that didn't matter per se. Right, it was like a speaker wasn't on, or something and he's decided to try and run and time it.
Speaker 4:Oh my God. And then what?
Speaker 1:happened was it's come down and around, as he was there and he didn't like push himself in enough, so it ended up crushing him. Oh my God. The emergency stop button was like a slight delay and so crushed him further. And then they like like literally, it was like a crowd of people just watching this guy like suffocated, like he just suffocated. Oh, my God Cause they couldn't reverse it and they couldn't move it cause it was already pinning him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, jesus Christ, were you on the ride screaming? No, I was literally standing there watching, like waiting to go on the ride. So you. So as soon as they got him out of the way, it was your turn.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, of course. And then he was like oh, straight on.
Speaker 3:No Like yeah, he comes out of the top and he's like no, that's out of the way Back to the shed, fire it up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, that's crazy, that's absolutely crazy. Yeah, like, fair call, like you'd be like. Oh, I have some slight reservations.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:That is so fucked.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's interesting, cause I like the way I think about rides is that it's a numbers thing, cause the I think of it like in terms of percentages, like the percentage of chance of something going wrong to you versus how many people go on it in a day, in a year, over two years, you know, and if, if, if only one thing goes wrong on the wipe out in a 10 year period, in my head I'm still like, well, that's quite a small percentage.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And actually, in your example not to shit talk it, but he wasn't on the ride, no true, he ran into the vicinity of the ride. That is pretty brutal, yeah, fuck you.
Speaker 2:That is absolutely.
Speaker 3:Well, I, I have zero fear on rides, Absolutely zero, for that exact reason.
Speaker 3:And I had fear for rides and it was exposure therapy out of me by the zipper, so I went to the show and at the time I was with my sister, who was older than me, and I was too small to go on the ride, but she like, um, my sister's got a strong personality, so she basically forced the dude to let me through in the span of about 15 seconds, just was like no, he's fucking going on like that kind of shit, like she's just really gets away. So on I go, uh, too small. Um, they clipped me in. I'm way too small for this ride.
Speaker 3:And the zipper has a point where so first one bar pivots in a 360. Then there's a belt on that bar that's doing the 360, that goes around the bar as it's doing the 360. And then I'm just painting a picture for audio, um, and then on that belt there is carriages for two people and those carriages are on bearings and they spin the whole time. And there's like one or two points during the ride where you hit this, the. The spin of the 360 goes all the way to the top and your part, your carriage on the belt, hits that apex at the same time and it just flings you to eternity, like it feels like you're going through a wormhole. And because I was too small for it, I was just bashing around this thing.
Speaker 1:I was.
Speaker 3:I was in two weeks to hold my body in check as well. So I was just, I was maybe 11, 12. And I was just getting beaten the fuck up by this ride. He just come out bleeding, screaming. I was like I think my sister says that I was screaming I'm going to die.
Speaker 1:She looks back at it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like laughing at me, I'm having fun he's having a great time, don't listen to him and I get off and, uh, and as I get out of the guy who was running the ride, he picked up a tampon which had flung out of someone's bag and he gave it to me.
Speaker 4:Wow, holy shit.
Speaker 2:So there's the icing on that this fucking card is just like here, mate.
Speaker 3:This one's for you.
Speaker 2:What a constant.
Speaker 1:I think back on.
Speaker 3:I'm like, well, it's pretty fucking good, that's a good joke. But yeah, I, ever since that experience I have never felt fear on any other ride.
Speaker 1:Yeah right, I fucking survived, that I can survive anything.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it, just it like it like broke me. So now I just don't have any fear in that type of scenario. If I get clipped into something, I'm fine.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's a bit to unpack there too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Strab it.
Speaker 3:Um and uh. Then, as a follow up to this, have any of you done either skydiving or bungee jumping Negative and do you have any want to do that?
Speaker 4:I would probably do skydiving over bungee jumping. Bungee jumping for me, I don't know. There's something about. Yeah, I don't know a lot of people with that same opinion.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they prefer to do the skydiving over bungee jumping.
Speaker 4:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:It doesn't seem like that should be right, but there's something in my head that's telling me that bungee jumping is worse.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 4:You have to do it by yourself, you have to do the one that has to jump out, and it's just like no, I'm good, okay, so.
Speaker 3:I've done both Yep and I can tell you with pure certainty that bungee jumping is way scarier.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Way scarier. There's something about the skydiving with, like the amount of time that is going to take place between you getting out into the air and you going down, yeah, and that is like somewhat calming, but on top of that, you don't skydive alone.
Speaker 4:The first time you're doing it. No, you've got some tandem with someone else.
Speaker 3:You're just this dude's 10 o'clock. Yeah, like this guy's going back up in the plane four more times today, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So you know, you got this dude on your back and he's like, literally, this is him just filling out an appointment.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're on the way down, yeah.
Speaker 3:Exactly yeah, and he's out of this fucking plane and he's so under control, man. So there's something about having that presence. That is just so. I don't know it's not scary, because this guy is just like ah, do it, you know, five times a day, literally yeah. So there's something about that that makes it way more okay. And the distance, because you've got all the time in the world, you know you hit the sky and as you're falling you don't have a good handle on how fast you're going because you don't have a frame of reference.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So it feels slower than it actually is. So you are kind of just floating. You can feel like the, you can tape your hands, like when you stick your hand outside of a car, and you can sort of taper the way that it feels you're going as well. Yeah, when they pull the shoot, it is like so slow.
Speaker 3:Like you are, just you are, and I think maybe the comparison of your drop speed versus like your, your shoot speed, is like the transition between them and pulling up is just like everything from that point onwards feels so slow on it and you're just looking out across the landscape. You can see the curvature of the earth.
Speaker 1:What do you mean? But um yeah.
Speaker 3:You can see the edge right.
Speaker 1:When I did it.
Speaker 3:I am chronically inflexible, not a very flexible guy, and you have to like be able to pull your legs up, basically to an L shape, and he was like all right on the way down because you've got like fucking literally like 10 minutes to get to the ground, pull your legs up.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So he's like telling you how to do it and he's like, all right, we're going to practice a couple of times before we get down, like okay, and I like pull it up. And he was like, hmm, yeah, like that, but a lot better.
Speaker 1:Oh, boy yeah.
Speaker 3:Um bungee jumping, however, um, very, very scary. There was a barrier there where I almost didn't do it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, dude.
Speaker 3:I got out to the edge and I was looking over the edge. There's something about having to do it yourself and the combination of having your ankles completely strapped. That is like so scary.
Speaker 2:Fuck the tight up and throw off the ledge.
Speaker 3:And because of the way that I am. I was like looking at it and I was like, oh, they've got a fucking bike. There's like if you bungee jump a bunch of time so you can buy like a 10 pack, and on the 10th one they let you ride the bike off, they just body strap you. Yeah. And I was like, fuck, I want to do that. And then I did one jump and I was like that's enough for me. My heart is pushed, all my blood through my body five times, yeah.
Speaker 1:I think I think J's brother's bungee jumped like 15 times. Yeah, 15, 16 times.
Speaker 3:I would definitely do it again, but I don't know if I'm doing it like a bunch of times and I'm running back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it was like not running back up. Do it again, do it again.
Speaker 3:It's probably the only time in my adult life that I've let out an involuntary scream. Which thankfully, and I've got footage of it. I should bring it. Actually, I've got footage of it. Thankfully, it was a very manly scream.
Speaker 1:It was like down here it was like it was guttural.
Speaker 3:And I just remember them. Like a lot of people don't believe how heavy I am either, and to this day I don't know why they don't just have a fucking set of scales.
Speaker 1:Can you put some more? They're not expensive.
Speaker 3:They ask you if you want to dip your head. And I was going to a wedding that day and I was like nah, nah, I want to stay dry. And they're like okay. And they're like how heavy are you? And I'm like, oh, I'm 100 kilos. And they're like maybe not. And I was like no, no, no, no, no, like I'm definitely 100 kilos.
Speaker 4:I know my way. I'm aware of it. I'm aware of it.
Speaker 3:And then the end result of that was that I got basically down on my fucking belly button.
Speaker 2:How deep was the water?
Speaker 1:It was like a lake thing thing it was in.
Speaker 3:Queensland. In Cairns I want to say yeah, but the racist capital of Australia at least that's how I feel. The sunny state how long have we been going, jamie? We've an hour, an hour, yeah, we almost cut for break. Okay, okay, we're going to cut for break for a bit. Before we go, I did want to do a little bit of show and tell because people are sending some stuff I wanted to shout out. I wanted to shout out, kermit, because.
Speaker 3:I've got something for you too actually because he sent me this meme. No, you can turn that up. I will mediate the I will be in charge volume. He sent me a meme and it's POV it's 930 and that one co-worker that cracks open their third energy drink of the boarding. And I'm just like I get this a lot at work because I crack one at 9 o'clock. I wait until 9 before I have my first one.
Speaker 3:And people are like, oh my God, first thing in the morning. I'm like, oh my God, mind your own fucking business. I guess I know what I'm about. And then they tell me how to live healthy and I'm like, fuck you, Number one, I don't want to Number two, what makes you think I don't know more than you in that regard? Fuck man, it's sugar free. Also, shout out to Linky. I posted a meme the other day and I got a little feedback for this one my ancestors watching me use a GPS to get somewhere I've been to 14 times. That speaks to me so much. Yeah, Jamie doesn't even need it and he still does it.
Speaker 4:But that's a bit different.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you just like you just like knowing what's happening. Yeah, but smart. Today we already talked about this beforehand, but we didn't tell G I drove to the studio without using a GPS. Oh shit, the first time I've ever done it. I think I've been here about 50 times. That was an educated guess, yeah, but I, I've, yeah, this first time I did it, I made it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was literally for what like 10 minutes congratulating him.
Speaker 3:It's just like. This is amazing. Every time I made a turn, he's like hang me on the back.
Speaker 4:You didn't even forget that it's the second leg.
Speaker 1:This is amazing.
Speaker 3:Round of out Like. And then another one I got a lot of feedback for was me Googling a number that just called me instead of answering. Shout out to anyone who does that, because I don't think I've ever answered a phone call that doesn't have a name. When it comes up Like he literally never, and then I Google it afterwards and the pixel.
Speaker 1:It's got a screening button now, yeah. And then it reads a script Like essentially like talks to them for you Love that. It's like you know, if this is an important call, please like tell us who you are, we'll connect you through, and then it'll come up on your phone with like any response that comes through like take.
Speaker 2:That's so good yeah.
Speaker 3:No shit.
Speaker 1:And usually if it's a market, it'll hang up halfway through, like the script.
Speaker 3:Oh, can it tell accents?
Speaker 1:Yeah, google translate, I do.
Speaker 3:It just picks up the accent, fucking, hangs it up. No.
Speaker 4:I sent you something as a bit of a show until. I really he won, like the burping championship, because that was a thing, yeah, the championship. And he's just ridiculous Like it's actually fucking Burping championship. That's about as dumb as the um uh, better as dumb as the fucking air. Gitao World Championships yeah, it's exactly the same.
Speaker 1:Australia. It's Christmas season and one of you is winning $200,000.
Speaker 2:That's right Tonight.
Speaker 3:I got an ad. Hold on yeah.
Speaker 4:It's like this is on the Tiktok, I don't know.
Speaker 1:There's always ads in Tiktok. Really Yep. Open Tiktok bag weird minds location under that v the direction does it.
Speaker 3:He's doing it like all right, so so the video, he's doing it. He's doing it like around a bunch of different people, like that's why it keeps repeating it's in a bunch of different groups of people and like some Italian do none of them are like giving him a thumbs up like this is none of these are positive reactions.
Speaker 4:No, yeah.
Speaker 3:Can you guys burp intentionally? Yeah, yeah, you can't know shit.
Speaker 4:McDonald's McDonald's. That's the real kicker. He says it.
