Destiny 2 Ends, Modern Warfare 4 Controversy, and Illinois Game Con 2026 Prep

This week on the NickMoses05 Gaming Podcast, we kick things off with Gaming Gone Wild, featuring 4 wild stories connected to gaming and crime, including a man secretly living under a family’s home with TVs and gaming consoles, a PS5 repair dispute that turned into a theft charge, a disturbing cybercrime case involving illegal digital content, and a Houston social club raid where police seized more than $350,000 in cash.

Then we get into one of the biggest gaming conversations of the week: Destiny 2 ending active live-service development. Bungie says the game will remain playable, but the move raises a much bigger question about digital ownership, live-service games, game preservation, and the growing Stop Killing Games movement.

We also break down the reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, including its controversial Korean Peninsula campaign setting, the removal of hipfire weapon bloom, the return of DMZ, next-gen-only release plans, and whether this could be a major comeback moment or another divisive Call of Duty release.

After that, it is time for Dude, I Got the Munchies, with Kool-Aid Pineapples, Panda Express Cantonese BBQ Brisket, Chipotle crispy chicken, Popeyes biscuit mix, Taco Bell shredded beef items, and Nothing Bundt Cakes’ summer lineup.

Finally, we talk about Illinois Game Con 2026, where NickMoses05 will be next week in Bloomington, Illinois, looking for gamers, interviews, trivia moments, Choose Your Fate reactions, and viral content.

Tap in for gaming news, wild stories, food talk, convention prep, and the usual NickMoses05 energy.

What's going on, everybody? Yo, that sound, damn, that was loud. Hold on, hold on. We gotta turn them sounds down, bro. That was crazy. Let's touch that again. That's a little better, man. Damn, that banged my eardrum out. I mean, I don't need to hear that too early, man. What's going on? Shame, Melbourne, Australia. Dap me up, Harry Knuckles, and all. I got my man Devin in the building. What's going on, my dog? Dap me up, Harry Knuckles, and all. We got a lot tuning in. We got 17 so far tuning in live. So we want to go ahead and get the show on the damn road. First and foremost, we got to send a big shout out to all the podcast listeners out there. We're growing. Bam. Y'all know how that is. Other than that, man, let's jump straight to the show. I ain't gonna waste your time. You know what I'm saying? Alright, let's get to it, man. Y'all know what time it is. It's gaming gone mother loving wild. Yes, we talk about gaming crimes that happen recently. We want to make sure that gaming crimes get covered. A lot of times video games just get skipped over when it comes to crimes. And that's what we are here for. We've been covering it for a long time. Very popular segment, and we got some great stories today. So I thank everybody for tuning in. Um without further ado, let's go ahead and jump right into the first story. All right, I told y'all we ain't wasting no time with it. Alright, now hopefully I got this right. You know, we we're trying to do the the virtual, I mean, what do you call it? The vertical and the horizontal, the landscape. We we're trying to do something. Alright, we're stepping it up and get that Nick Moses off, man. Why you even got don't don't put my name up. We we know what it is. Yes, what you see right here is true. I want you to go ahead and just take a look at the pictures. I think the pictures say enough. Josh, what's going on? Dap me up, Harry Knuckles, and it's all how you doing, sir. You are here for a wonderful show today. All right. A man in Oregon just got sentenced after police say he secretly lived under a family's townhouse for almost three months. You can't make this up. And this was not just somebody hiding in a corner. You can see the photos right there. This is someone who was literally living, a good living there. Now, I believe the name is Benjamin Baker. Might be Benjamin, I'm not sure. All right, how to pronounce the name, but Mr. Baker is 41 years old and was convicted of first degree burglary in Klackamas County. And I hope I got that right for y'all. Okay. He was also sentenced to three years in prison. Mmm, that's rough. Prosecutors say Mr. Baker had been living in the family's home in a crawl space. Yes, you see there. I want you guys to take a good look at the crawl space. Okay, a good look. Because that crawl space you see there, he was living there for quite a long time. According to investigators, Mr. Baker had basically built himself a hidden gaming bunker. He had video games. Yes. Investigators said the crawl space had string lights, cooking burners, a gaming console, a couple games. He was in there. He was he had a full life going on inside of here. Amazing. Now, the whole thing was discovered on September 3rd in 2025 when a neighbor saw someone entering the home. All right. Investigators also found a couple other things. A sword. They found multiple knives. A pipe with residue. We're not gonna say what type of residue. We're trying to keep the monetization. So you know the jury did not take long with this one at all. They deliberated in about 20 minutes, very quick. And you guys know it can take a long time in court. Only took 20 minutes before finding him guilty. Now, prosecutors say Mr. Baker had been the roommate. The family never knew they had for a very long time, and that is the creepiest part of the entire story because this was not just someone trespassing, this was someone making a full living playing video games, string lights, everything inside of your home for months. We got the gentleman's face right there. We need to have him on screen. I think it's only right. This is disturbing how normal life could continue, right? The family was going to sleep, waking up, raising your daughter, living the dream. And in their home, someone was underneath them with TVs, call of duty, cooking burners, Doritos and Mountain Dew, weapons and pipes, and a full setup they never approved right in their home. And now, instead of a crawl space with string lights and gaming consoles, Mr. Baker is gonna have a very nice place to live. It's gonna be great. Trust me, sir. It's gonna be a very tight space that you're gonna be able to not play video games in. No, no, no, no, no. But you have a toilet. Good plumbing. I ain't gonna say good. But it's plumbing. You'll be there. You'll have a roommate to share it all with. Hopefully, your roommate has some tablet privileges. Maybe you can play a game of Candy Crush. Enjoy, sir. So without further ado, that's that story. It's disgusting. Okay, I I want to ask everybody here right now. What would you do if you found in your crawl space of your home someone was living there? Would you go directly in and kick their ass out? What would you do? Would you just call the police? Say, police, come escort this gentleman out of this damn crawl space. He shouldn't be living here. Does he have some sort of rights? Because he's been living in that crawl space for a certain amount of time. We always hear squatters' rights. I don't know. This is sick, disgusting. Yeah. So I wish everyone be safe. Keep cameras on your home and make sure that you check every crevice of your home, the crawl spaces, the attic, the places that you typically don't go, because you want to catch them right in their tracks. Dante, beat the out of that iga. I ain't gonna lie. It's my boy Don Mega. For those who don't know, we go back like Ajax, Flapjacks, and Cracker Jacks with the prize in it. It's my boy. I'm not gonna lie. I'm with him. I'm kind of with him. We gotta put hands on him, man. I don't even know if I got time to call. You know what I mean? I don't even know if I got time to pick up the phone. We just, you know, 38 and the vertebrae. Right to the vertebrae.

Bow! Woo!

SPEAKER_02 8:00

Boy, gonna feel like a uh boiling hot water hit his back. Ah I'm not giving no chance. You're not doing that. Okay. Beat him till he can't move. I ain't gonna. You might catch a charge with that, done. We might gotta we gotta watch. You know, after you start beating them for so long, they might have to say, you know what I'm saying? Man, did you let the man get up? Did you square up with him? We might God damn, man. We gotta charge both of y'all. Nonetheless, I feel you though. He gotta get a couple extra. He gotta get a couple extra. I'd immediately snap on him. I agree. Immediately. I can't wait. I'm not waiting. I'm not waiting, bro. I'm not waiting till some damn dude in my home hear me on the phone. Because he listening. He listening through the vent. He hear me on the phone, like, hey man, yo, there's somebody in my crawl space. That fool just come up. Hang up the phone. He just walks upstairs, man. That's all he gotta do. He in the crawl space. He just walk out. Man, I know this month didn't call the police. Hey, man, you see me down there playing Call of Duty, man. I'm in the middle of an online match. Alright, but he's right. Devin. That's crazy. Out he goes, but prison is too much. Yo, I'm not gonna lie. He do get a he get a living setup where there's free food. It's probably bigger than the cross. No, I ain't gonna lie, that crawl space. He had it, he had string lights. He had a nice little room in that crawl space. The jail cell ain't gonna be like that. Two, everybody know, man, if you getting any conversary and you ain't holding down your conversary, they punking you for your commissary. So don't even order nothing. Don't order nothing. Don't order nothing on the conversary list, man. Trust me. I've been there, I know how it goes. We see you. Hey man, let's do a trade. You're not getting the other side of the deal. Or we just gonna say, what are you gonna do? Like it really comes to that. And then you you know, you tell. So without further ado, let's go ahead. Hey, depend what state you ain't lying. Prison too harsh. He living in the house. Now let's talk about that. Hold on, hold on. He's like a ratatouille. Y'all ain't gonna lie, man. Let's uh is that too harsh of a punishment? Prison for three years. He was living in the home. Now let's take some things into account. The man was using your electricity. I don't know if he he's also breaking an enter into your home. Let's keep it real. He didn't bother you though. From from my understanding, they didn't even know he was there. So my man stays out of everybody's way. He's just trying to play a game. Okay? He's been living there for a while. But the fact he got video now, if you I don't care, bro. If you got money to buy video games, then what the hell? How are you getting these video games? My man hitting up GameStop, bro. Everybody hitting up GameStop. It's just what everybody's doing, apparently. All right, let's go ahead and move on. He deserves more. Hey, that man, he's homeless, man. They're gonna beat him down in jail, man. You know how I go in jail. Jail is not a place for everybody. I can tell you that. It's a real place, bro. If you have not been, and I'm not one to even try to like brag on anything with that. Don't, bro. You're not built for it. Don't go. Don't go. You gotta hold your own. You gotta be ready. Let's go ahead and move on to the next story, man. Because that's wow. Wow. Like, all right, man. Let's move on to the next one. Okay, this one right here, y'all, is funny. I got a couple homies that can relate to this. I used to be in the business of repairing consoles, but this is something new. My man face had to get put up big on screen for these PlayStation 5s that he ain't repairing. Y'all, I hustled. I've been around a block, but I can tell you, I've been in the repair business for video games, right? Which means somebody's system broke and you gotta repair it. It ain't much. You get a couple dollars, fix a system, bam, here you go. Bam, they playing again. You make your ducats in the hood. That's a nice come-up. I've been in the hood, trust me, in the hood, it ain't many people who repairing PlayStation 5s. This gentleman right here on screen is a Georgia man who was arrested after police say he accepted money to repair a PlayStation 5, but he never actually fixed it. He didn't. According to Coffee County Sheriff's Office, a woman posted on Facebook saying she needed help repairing a PS5. And that's when she allegedly got in contact with Mr. Shane Lawson Tanner Jr. Oh man, Shane Lawson, you you something else. A 28-year-old man from Douglas, Georgia, who told her, Man, ma'am, I can fix your system. I can do it. It's nice, it's probably just overheating. I can take care of that for you. Police say Tanner told her he would need her to pay 60 bucks up front. Okay. Before he goes ahead and fix it. The woman agreed, of course. $60? That ain't much. Imagine how much Sony gonna charge. So she met him at a Walmart, which is smart. She got some cameras, right? Handed over to PlayStation 5 and the $60. She handed it over, y'all. Now, according to the report, the repair never happened. Damn. I don't know what sound that was. I had to give it some. Alright. The woman told deputies Tanner did not fix the system at all. And then when she asked, hey, I got my system back, but it's not working. What it's still not working. What's happening? He stopped responding to her messages. He took that 60 bucks. She later went to the sheriff's office over this PlayStation 5. She filed a report. She said $60. Uh-uh. She wanted to press charges on my man, Shane. So on May 14th, 2026, officers found Tanner and took him into custody. He was charged with theft by deception and booked into Coffee County jail. But he was later released on a $1,000 property bond. Damn, put up the property. Okay. All right. Quickly. Got out. $1,000 bond. He could probably pay that, and it's going to be some court costs or some other things. Now, this is I just found it funny because this is one of those stories where the amount of money almost makes it ridiculous. Right? Like you went through this much for $60. Somebody like me, I'm not going to lie. I'm just going to either I'm going to catch you and it's that's it. Like I'm I'm going to catch you, but I ain't about to be hunting you down all day for $60. I'm not going to the sheriff's office for that $60. I'm going to get $60 out your ass when I see you. Because you owe me $60. We're going to talk about it like real men. And if you don't want to handle it like real men, then I guess we both have to start resorting to real stupid things. That's what I'm saying. All right. But nonetheless, if you get your PlayStation 5 fixed, watch out for my man Shane, y'all. And not to Shane from Melbourne, Australia. We got him here, man. My man Shane from Melbourne, Australia. We I rock with you, man. Dab me up, hairy knuckles and all. When you come to the States, man, let me know. We here. We here, man. You know I'm all over. But not gonna lie. My man came up on $60 and then got arrested for it. And you go into county. You lucky you got out. Because I ain't gonna lie. And sometimes in county, you don't even make it past holding, bro. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like you in holding, and hey man, can I get out? Please, please. Can you bail me out? You get out before you get back there. But nah, I know what it's like when you gotta go in. When they put the orange jumpsuit on. It ain't a pretty sight. Rizal, what's going on? Dap me up, Harry Knuckles and all. Okay. In this case, the PS5 did not get fixed. That's the most important part. I said, it's ignorant. Fix the PlayStation 5, man. It probably was something simple. Didn't even take but $60. I ain't gonna lie. You need to charge. You need to charge a little more. Alright, I'm talking about, hey, it's $125. I gotta buy the part and some more stuff. Right? We might go up. Alright, my man from Indonesia. You got cap. Oh my goodness. I ain't gonna snap off. I ain't gonna snap off. Don't snap off, babe. You got captions, Rosal. You my dog. Dab me up, Harry Knuckles and all. You my dog, man. My fault. My fault. I got problems. I ate paint chips as a kid. I did a lot of weird things. So my bad. My bad. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Alright, here we go. I'm gonna see if it switch up. Hopefully, it switches perfectly. Alright. Y'all let me know if y'all see it on screen. We good? We good? We good? We good? We good. We good. All right. Everybody said we good. And you should be able to see this whether you're watching it vertical or landscaping. If you can, if you're liking it, hit the like, share out the content. Let's go! Right. This one, um, you know what? And we're actually supposed to hit the live on no, we're good. We're good. We got every platform going right now. Perf yo, Devin, real scum repair guys give good repair guys a bad name. Totally agree. We get guys that are like this, not this guy, but the guy before, that tear it up for everybody else who can actually fix a simple problem and charge her not much for it. So, this one right here is about a 46-year-old man in Scotland who is behind bars because police found a massive amount of CSA material on devices taken from his home. Yep, y'all heard it. And we know we got to keep the monetization, so we can really say what it is. But y'all need to look up CSA. I'm getting the terms good. But this guy right here on screen is Joe Fowler. He was found guilty at Inverness, and I hope I pronounced that correct. Inverness Sheriff uh court after investigators recovered more than 57,000 indecent images of yes CSA. Let's just say CSA. Okay, we we're gonna watch what we say here. This is a very delicate topic. All right, but Joe Fowler was found guilty at Inverness Sheriff Court after investigators recovered more than 57,000 indecent images of CSA and 144 videos from a laptop, a desktop computer, hard drives were seized from his former home in Highland area. Now, the court heard that some of the material was classified in the most serious category, and prosecutors said the files involved CSA ranging from little all the way to before they get big. Okay? You hear me with this. Notice how I'm doing the wording. Okay, he may have been yo. Y'all are so funny in the chat, bro. Dab me up, Harry Knuckles and all. My man Sean. I ain't gonna click on that, Sean. I ain't gonna click on that. We got the podcast listeners. I mean, I'm gonna try to save them a little bit. Okay. Investigators also found disturbing footage connected to a video game style file involving almost said it. CSA little ones. Yes, video games. My man had video game material and video games crafted and made all around CSA. Because of the nature of the content, I'm not going to describe it in detail here. Disgusting. It is so sick that you guys can take your own time to research it. I ain't even gonna recommend it, to be honest. Fowler claimed the downloads were accidental and said he deleted the files once he realized what they were. Oh shit! My fault. I've been choking a lot. Oof. A police cybercrime expert testified that some files appear to have been downloaded over months, possibly years, and that some of the titles had been played way more than once. Accident. I accidentally played it 30 times. The same expert said he did not believe the material was downloaded accidentally, not one. After three hours of deliberation, notice this is three hours of deliberation for this case. In the other case, we talked about 20 minutes. But after nearly three hours of deliberation, the jury returned a guilty verdict convicting Fowler of intentionally downloading the content. His defense said he continues to deny the guilt. He still continues to deny it. The sheriff made that shit clear. Okay, made it clear. Because of the number and nature of the images, there would be no alternative to a custodial sentence. Fowler remained in custody, placed on the offender's register list, and sentencing is being deferred until next month. So this is one where disgusting things like that can easily come into video gaming. Cause we could have seen on Steam this game could have been released if we see plantation, whatever that was, being released. And how long was that going on? We seen reviews and all that. If y'all don't know what I'm talking about, y'all can go ahead and watch because I'm not about to snap. My man had the whole slave plantation going on. That's crazy. That's crazy. So, my man Romy Rome. Let's go ahead and pull it up. Because I pull up any haters' comments. I think you need to look in the mirror. You a hater, and I don't even know what you're talking about. Romy Rome. Dap me up, Harry Knuckles, and all. That was the realest comment ever. That was so real. You know what I mean? I gotta give you props. You're right. Biggest hater there is. Matter of fact, let's do it like Bret Hart. The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. How about that? Now you can't beat it. Alright? Let's go ahead and move on to the next story. This guy's disgusting. I don't even want to talk about him much more. Um, but man, when money gets involved and you start talking about these inappropriate things with CSA material, it's disgusting. It's real disgusting. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. And everyone, I'm gonna pull it up on screen now. Should show up properly. Alright? Hopefully everything comes up correct. Alright, there we go. We're rocking and rolling. We're rocking and rolling. Now, hopefully this goes everything smooth. Houston police. Let me shout out Houston police, man. Big shout out to Houston police. Got me up, Harry Knuckles, and all. I ain't been out of Houston, y'all, but y'all tell me it is so beautiful. And Houston police do not bullshit at all. I've heard that multiple times. Houston police say an undercover investigation into illegal gambling led to a SWAT raid at Southwest Houston Social Club. And a lot of different a lot of different tables, right? Cards. Like I isn't this what you do at a social club? Am I wrong? I don't want to go, but let's go to the story first. There was a raid at a Southwest Houston Social Club where officers seized more than $350,000 in cash. A lot of money. Now the raid happened Wednesday night at Lucky J Social Club on Richmond Avenue. According to Houston police, nearby residents had complained for months about suspected illegal activity and gambling and other activities inside the business. They were complaining it's been going down for quite some time. And they felt like police weren't doing anything. Well, investigators with HPD's Vice Division sent the undercovers. Sent them into the club multiple times. Matter of fact, they went undercover and confirmed that illegal gambling was taking place inside. They really were locking this place down. But you can't do nothing when SWAT comes in, man. SWAT, this is what they do. They give them all the rights in the world to do everything, and they got all the artillery. That's what they do. So police use the SWAT team to serve the search and arrest warrant. Yep. And what do you think happened? Officers went in and authorities said roughly 80 to 90 people were inside the joint. Getting it on. So, of course, police served that warrant without incident. Okay? SWAT team don't play. You know how many SWAT team things get resolved easily? There were no injuries reported at all. Investigators said this was not your normal slot machine gaming setup. Because you know, usually it's just ching, ching, ching. You know, they're not supposed to be doing it, but it was a lot more. Police described this setup. They not only did the slot machines, they were doing the gaming tables, the card games, the chips. They said this appeared to be the good old what's the password? Walt sent me. Type of joint. You know what I'm saying? They saying it's them type of joints. When you get the password, they lock you in lock the door, and you like you know, you're playing, and that's it. Yes, it appeared to be even a cashier's booth where they exchange money. Yes, so HPD had to arrest three damn people. Okay, on gambling promotion charges. That don't sound like enough. It sounds like these guys are gonna get off. If you ask me, I'm gonna be honest. That's it. Do we got something else? We got no. I mean, an officer sees 351,000 in cash. That's a lot of money. Not gonna cap. And other evidence was tied to the gambling investigation. Man. So police also issued citations. Okay, they were issued for the building. Fire code, health violations. Oh my god, I'm gonna fine you to death. That's great. But this is what happened. So, a lot of people are on the fence, and I want to ask, how do y'all feel about mom and pop shops having these gaming machines where in states it's illegal to even play them or have them in some of these establishments, but companies use them or businesses use them, I should say, to keep extra revenue to the business? Imagine if food is going slow, or if electricity skyrockets now they have to pay more. That could cover those extra costs, but states say it is illegal, and also it is a target by burglarers because we see in a lot of communities they're targeting these machines. So, how do y'all feel about that? All right, Joe going on. Yo, Joe, what's going up, man? Yo, Joe, and Joe, I gotta holler at you, man. We gotta talk about tips at the restaurant, man. I gotta ask you, we gotta we gotta have that deep convo, man. All right, about tips at the restaurant. I know people pissed, they tired of tipping, Joe, and you are you a restaurant owner, you somebody who likes them tips, Joe. Okay, you come on. Matter of fact, when you let me know when you finish, whenever you come on, you know what I mean. I just come on, we'll talk about it real quick. You know what I mean? It's something we can cover real quick, just before I even, you know, just let folks know. We we we had a talk. I be wondering about tipping too, like how you feel personally about it. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. That's just you know, my bad. Let me go ahead and put the link. That's my fault. Link in the chat, man. All right, there we go. Link in the chat. That's my fault. Let's go ahead, man, and uh yeah, there you go. There you go. I got the link there, man. Anytime you're ready, Joe. You pop in, man. We're just gonna go ahead and uh jump to it. Because I'm gonna I'm gonna be honest, the tipping culture, man. There's people frustrated, but you as a restaurant owner, you like, man, I need my tip, right? I would feel like, hey, man, I served the table, it's 10 people. Y'all can't leave me no two dollar tip. No, right? You a person that might just put hey, let me hit the gratuity on the bill.

unknown 30:30

Bow!

SPEAKER_02 30:31

Oh man, it's just it's already comes, right? I don't know. So, uh thank you, Joe. Thank you. Whenever you come on, man, let me know. We'll jump to it. We'll jump to it. All right, there you go, Joe. You all right, Joe man. Thank you, man. I'm gonna go ahead and take this video off, man. I just want to hear me. Yo, I can hear you good, man. What's going on, Joe man?

SPEAKER_00 30:53

I'm so sorry I missed many shows. It's been crazy.

SPEAKER_02 30:56

Oh, yo, it don't matter, man. We always hit for you, man. That's how it is. It's like just like television, you know. You be like, man, I ain't see three seasons, but you come back. The fourth season's still there, man. You can catch up, you know.

SPEAKER_00 31:08

You know, congratulations on your 4,000 subscribers. You just hit 4,000. Yo, I did.

SPEAKER_02 31:13

Oh, snap. Yo, big celebrate. Woo!

SPEAKER_00 31:16

Yo, I'm right behind you. I'm at 3,500.

SPEAKER_02 31:19

Yeah, you're gonna be there no time, man. You know how I go. You before you, next thing you know, you turn around, it go up. You know what I mean? So, Joe, I gotta ask for everybody. Now, you are a restaurant owner for those who do not know. Yes, all right, that's correct. All right, there we go. So, Dante's Italian bistro got some delicious food, man. I can tell everybody here personally, okay, that comes from the heart. So, Joe, let me ask you first, how do you feel about tipping culture overall as a whole? Because there's some people that feel tipping fatigue, and they come to places like yours and say, Man, I don't even want to tip. You know what I mean? How do you feel about it, man?

SPEAKER_00 32:05

Well, here's the here's the deal without being an asshole, if you can't afford to tip, get your food to go. If the tip is it's been getting so bad with people making gigantic messes and having to babysit people, I automatically charge a three-hour gratuity fee without telling them. Because I'm uh I had this, I had a three-pop coming last week. They got sauce on the walls, they got sauce on the um tablecloth, they were blowing their nose and leaving the uh napkins behind. Dude, it's just like you wouldn't eat this way at like your grandma's house or at a relative's house. People are fucking slavs. Some people are, but most people are.

SPEAKER_02 32:43

Damn. So when that happens, Joe, let's just say someone throws slop on the wall, they do all this. You, as someone that served them at the table, is there some expectation that the people that have children that let's say they got two children, three children, should come with the expectation of a tip, being that they have younger ones that might cause more, you know, dirt or things. Is there an expectation for a tip that you see when you have like children or other people because of message like that?

SPEAKER_00 33:19

110% I would expect it because here's the deal a lot of people don't realize this. We were talking about this a long time ago, about two or three years ago, with the GameStop incident. When the when the parents bring their kids in, oh, you're the babysitter. Same thing in the restaurant, they run all over the place and do this. Definitely, you need to tip your servers because a lot of servers uh live and rely on the tips. When I was paying servers at one time, I was paying them ten dollars an hour clear in cash. Most places only pay three dollars an hour clear in cash, which is totally fucked up. Pay your servers ten dollars an hour or more. But it's just it's just like if you can't afford to tip, then just get your food for takeout. I have people tip me for takeout. You know, I talk to about 95% of the guests, and my dad talks to the rest of them. Um, but the whole dining has gone to shit. People don't want to come out anymore. Not just in my restaurant, but like during the whole strip, people can't afford it. It's not their fault, it's the economy. It's very bad right now, the economy.

SPEAKER_02 34:18

Now you you you you gave me so much, man. I'm gonna unpack it. I'm gonna unpack it. Now, you talked about tipping for takeout, right? Let's that's a big talking point that a lot of people have, and there are people that feel as though tipping for takeout is a like no-no.

SPEAKER_00 34:39

We got people out there that'd be like bonus, bonus round. I never expect tips for takeout, but here's the deal. I'm not lying to you. I will get higher tips for takeout than dine in because this is the the restaurant industry has changed. The people that can't afford to buy food are spending a lot of money in takeout. I'm sorry, the people that can't afford a lot of money are dining in. The people that can afford a lot of money to feed a big family or have a big event, they'll be putting these massive big ass takeout orders in and leaving that amount of tips.

SPEAKER_02 35:10

Ah, okay. It's it changed, it went in the opposite direction. Now, as far as the tips would take out, there you're not the you know, you wouldn't be the only one, right? You have all the big chains, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, it don't matter where you go, every single place is asking for a tip up front. So let me ask you a question that's a little still on that. Let's say someone picks up something from Dante's, but then you have someone pick up something from Crave Cookie. Do you think both tips are equal? That someone who is going out should expect to tip on both, or they should not expect to tip. How do you feel? Because one would be more of a restaurant style, yeah, and one would be kind of a cookie place.

SPEAKER_00 36:05

How do you feel with that? Well, I'm not familiar with that place. I'm guessing it's kind of like cookies by Somnia, kind of like that. Yeah. Okay. Um, most of that stuff, without going to a whole long tangent, most of that stuff is frozen bake-off stuff. It's not made fresh in-house. Um, I believe any kind of one-to-one interaction, you should tip somebody, a hairdresser, um, you're getting your car repaired, uh, definitely for food. Any kind of like fast food thing, I'm kind of on the fence about that. I don't really think you should have to, because even though the person's working hard and everything, everything's store bought and made with a bunch of chemicals and additives. Um, for instance, I don't have a screen with tips. It's it says right here on the receipt. If I pretend my hand's a receipt, it says um total, it says tip with a smiley face and signature. I don't give the people the option 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40. Right in whatever. I had the first encounter yesterday. Somebody asked, I said, can you please sign the receipt? It's like, okay, sure. He signs the receipt. He writes down a five dollar for a tip. He actually asked me, is this high enough or do I need to tip you more? I said, No, you tip however much you feel is necessary. I'm not that kind of person. Not just grateful to get a tip.

SPEAKER_02 37:15

Thank you. Now, now we we I'm glad we covered the takeout part, man. I think you did that very well because I agree. I feel as though very similar to you, and then I feel differently with mom and pop restaurants versus a fast food giant, right? Or even a major restaurant chain. Yeah, so I feel differently if I go to a Dante's versus if I go to a Texas Roadhouse, right? Wow, bicep pickups, both have orders, but let me ask you, Joe, on that. Because if you go to a Texas Roadhouse, you have cooks, yes, right? You have someone who has to bring the food, box the food. You have a lot of different interactions. Do you feel the same with a place like that?

SPEAKER_00 37:59

Well, yes, if you go to any kind of sit-down restaurant where you have an actual book menu, you know, a menu, definitely give them a tip. But I didn't know that I haven't been to fast food in a long time just because don't have the time. I didn't know that McDonald's and Burger King now has a tip screen. That's totally missed me. Never knew that. That's how long I've been out of the game for. With that, I don't think so. I absolutely don't think so because that's all chemical processed food. I'm not a food like allergy nut or anything, but you're eating, it's not even real food. Everything's processed and there's chemicals and shit in it. It's not even real food. If you're going to sit down in a menu, if you're gonna go if you haven't sit down in a restaurant and you have a menu, Applebee's or steakhouse, that's kind of like real food, but not really. It's still modified bullshit. Definitely give them a tip because those servers are getting paid shit and they're busting their ass.

SPEAKER_02 38:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 38:47

Big ass chains that people don't care. I've noticed the customers are more shitty and shittier during the days. Definitely tip your servers 100%.

SPEAKER_02 38:56

You know, so now I want to speak just shortly about the economy. Because you that was the next part you talked about. About how the economy is today. We already know inflation is through the damn roof with everything. Everything's up. It don't matter what it is, it's up. So how has inflation up? How has it what has it done to your business? Like, right? Because it's a lot of restaurant owners out there who are going through it. There are some who may be like, hey, things changed, but I made it through it. Like, what have you noticed and what has it done to Dante's?

SPEAKER_00 39:35

Um, it's extremely bad. A lot of the ingredients went up. I'll give you an example. Six months ago, I'm not lying to you, a case of fresh tomatoes that you put on a sandwich. I'm making this simple so people who don't understand the business understand. Fresh caged tomatoes, about 20 pounds of fresh tomatoes was $17. One month ago, they went to $80. Now they jumped back to $50 to $40. Now they're $28 a case. Um, the tariffs are horrible. Nothing's made in the United States. I don't care. I will fight you tooth and nail. Everything's made overseas. I'm gonna give you an example. Cocoa is extremely expensive uh for baking, chocolate's very expensive, it's made with cocoa, coffee's very expensive, everything's made overseas. We don't have the technology to make the stuff here. I don't care what anybody says. Everything has gone up. Um, I'm very behind in my rent for the restaurant. My landlord's been very nice to me. The customers are fucking broke. They're broke. I'm running specials, all inclusive specials, for $13. These fucking people can't afford to buy them. That's how bad it is. I'm having people buy premium stuff, and the people that can't afford the specials aren't even coming in anymore. And everything's made homemade and everything. Um, if I had the money and I didn't have my two antique cars and the restaurant, I would move overseas. I don't want to be here anymore. I'm totally sick and done with the United States. I would miss my friend. So you've heard others say that. It's so big. Um, I'm 37, I'm 37 years old. As of right now, if I wanted to start a family and to buy a house, I can't do that. Even when I don't want to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's crazy, right? I have friends my age that have four kids, and I'm like, God forbid something happens to you or your wife, you lose your job, things are going up. I have I'm gonna give you an example, Nick. I had a six top coming a couple days ago. They looked at the menu and walked out. I've lowered my price three times within one year. Usually restaurants are doing uh an increase of four times with one year. Yeah, the economy is total trash. It's total, total, total trash.

SPEAKER_02 41:36

Damn, and I will agree with you with the economy. It is bad. Every time I turn around, something's going up, people are getting laid off. Um you know, like you mentioned, tomatoes or it's something new, right? That just skyrockets eggs.

SPEAKER_00 41:53

One second, it's this, and you know, I'll give you another example. I need to interrupt you. I used to be able to buy, it went down in price, produce has gone down, which I'm very thankful for. Four weeks ago, a five-pound bag of fresh peppers was $19. They used to be five dollars. It doesn't sound like a lot, but you add everything with everything I cook with, it's all made with real ingredients, fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. All my shit's gone up. It was so bad. I started, I took seafood off the menu. See a case of shrimp used $50. It's now $100. I took off the menu, and people look at me, oh, how come you don't serve shrimp anymore? I said because of the tariffs, but they're made in the United States. I'm like, no, they're not. Nothing. I tell my customers, nothing's made here. They don't, Nick, these people don't understand. I'm not calling them stupid, they just don't know. Nothing's made here. When it says made in USA, let's say you buy um a toy, it's made in USA. No, it's not. Those dye molds, those hypodermic molds in the boxes are made overseas, so you're paying a tariff tax on it. Yeah, made here.

SPEAKER_02 42:57

Exactly. Nah, you're dropping gems right now, Joe. I ain't gonna lie to you, man. That's why I had to bring you on. I wanted to talk about it because I know there is no one better to talk to about like tipping culture, the restaurant, you know, and a lot of people see it from the consumer side. I'm being so this is let's just paint the consumer picture of someone who does not care about the other side. They go to a restaurant and they go, Man, McDonald's went up on the double cheeseburger. Burger King went up.

SPEAKER_00 43:33

It's called shrinkflation. You're paying more and you're getting less. I have to do the opposite. I have to give them more and charge less, and they're not buying. And that's that goes to tell you, goes to show you something. My friend, um, his name is Joe, he's younger than me. He lost his business. He did Asian bubble tea. He didn't even make it one year.

SPEAKER_02 43:53

Yeah, he said, Beatrix. They had four's gumping mine. I thought the shrink came about to miss it. Oh, we got every type. We got this time, we got this type of shrimp. We got one though shrimp. We got no. Um, when I was thinking about tipping, you know, and how consumers think, they go, yo, prices of all these different foods go up. Now I can't I can get the same deals, but I have to go through an app. You're forcing me through an app, right? So it's like you know why they do that?

SPEAKER_00 44:29

Do you know why they do that? It's automated, so they have to pay the people less money. Because instead of instead of hiring, let's say, a front-end person, front-end person, in case you don't know, is somebody who answers the phone, like a receptionist, like in a dentist, but in a food place. Hello, how may I help you? They don't have to paying people less. AI is eventually going to take over where we don't need anybody working in the front to answer phones. I can't afford that technology, otherwise, I would have that and have my dad stay at home. My dad comes to the restaurant, answers the phone, and does everything does that kind of bullshit with the interaction with the customers. If I had an AI tool that I could afford to tie, that could afford to rent out, I would do it. And we already know that's expensive. I'm not lying to you. 95% of my business is takeout. The other 5% is dine in, which is fine with me because I can't even afford to have a server. I have an I have an emergency server that I use on the phone, and she understands what's going on with the restaurant. She's been with me since day one. She understands. But it's kind of like it's crazy. I'm gonna give you another example with the tipping culture. I bought a flashcart from the Nintellivision. I went to go check out through the guy, he's a modder, and it's like, oh, there's a tip from this amount to this amount. I gave him a tip because he makes the stuff, he makes the stuff, it's not something from China. He gets the pico boards and soldering and he makes three prints the shelves and everything. I'll show you real quick. Give me one second. Yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 45:54

So I see what he mean on that. You know, you tip people that you feel like are the money's going to get calls. The money ain't just going to some random spot. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 46:04

Yeah, it's for the television. Television was made like I think 1978. Old, old, old school.

SPEAKER_02 46:09

Yeah. Super old school. I ain't gonna lie, television was rocking though, man. You know what I'm saying? Television with the little turn dial it had on the remote and all that. Oh man, that's I can buy vintage video game stuff like crazy. I love the video game stuff. Oh, yeah. You know, that's where it's at. Retro games is where it's at right now. That's like where everything headed. Is this retro? Everybody bringing back all the retro games, Restro Systems, old games. That's just that seems to be where it's at. I don't know. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 46:38

You need to get yourself a PS5, by the way. The jailbreaking scenes are on fire.

SPEAKER_02 46:42

I already know. It's it's off the chain. And the problem with me is I ain't got time, man. I ain't even got time for uh look the Switch. Yeah, I ain't played no new games. Uh Xbox, uh, no new games. Uh I'm trying to think what's the newest game. Uh, I'm still playing Outer Worlds uh 2. The game playing that.

SPEAKER_00 47:06

The games that I finished up was Resident Evil, um, Prague Mata. Um what was the other game called? I'm working on uh Mafia of the Old Country. I'm almost done with that. And there was another game that I finished recently that I forget what it was called. Oh, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. I love that game. I love Indiana Jones movies. That was a great game.

SPEAKER_02 47:27

Oh my god. And I ain't playing right now, it's 007, first light.

SPEAKER_00 47:31

People keep asking me, Joe, when you come up with PS5, dude. We got the cracks, you gotta use that hypervisor. How about the hypervisor cracks?

SPEAKER_02 47:40

Yeah, Devin. Yeah, I'm gonna have to holler at you, man. I had one, I sold it, bro. I sold it, I had one right here. I was like, hey, the money was good. You know what I mean? Oh, you said 3.0. Why are you doing this to me, man? Why are you doing this to me? Stop. Don't I'm not supposed to be doing this, man. It's a dark. I've got you know when you stray away from the dark side, man, and then somebody pulls you back in. You they open the door, you hear the music. I'm not going back in there. I see all the video game systems, people got the tournaments going in. Nah, man, I'm not going back in there, man. I might, I might, then I'm on legend.

SPEAKER_00 48:16

I'm on Nick, have you heard about the Genovo situation? It's like they they're pretty much out of the water now.

SPEAKER_02 48:22

Yeah, all the crackers of Whisper 38. Yep, they're wrapped. They're just done. Yeah, I heard about that. It's it's it's just every game. Like as soon as everything, as soon as they found out, it was like every single Danuvo game there is done. Open, wide open. Yo, Devin, I ain't like you laughing. I'll let you for real, man. We're gonna talk. I might I ain't wanna do a PlayStation 5, man. I might, because you know, I can. I really can. It ain't that bad.

SPEAKER_00 48:53

I forgot to ask you, Nick, those videos that you're posting with you and um your daughter, I forget her name. I'm sorry. What show is that at?

SPEAKER_02 49:00

Oh, that was at uh convention. Indie PopCon. That was at Indianapolis.

SPEAKER_00 49:05

Oh, wow. Look like you have beautiful weather there. It looks like really nice.

SPEAKER_02 49:09

Oh man, it was great. And we've been to a couple. I want to say, uh, what was the other one? Damn, I'm blanking out. It's too many. I like as soon as I'm thinking, because next week is Illinois GameCon. It's gonna be at Illinois GameCon next week. That's right in your backyard, you don't gotta drive anywhere. Thank you. You know what I'm saying? I ain't gotta go nowhere, just hop, skip, and a jump. Illinois GameCon. But IRL content, man, is where it's at. That's what everybody wants. You know what I mean? We go live, we we put the content out.

SPEAKER_00 49:35

I love those questionnaires that you did. I gotta kick out of watching those videos. Those were awesome.

SPEAKER_02 49:39

Oh, yeah, that's that's all we're doing, man. A lot of questionnaires, a lot of trivia. Posting long form videos on YouTube once he finished. I really we got a rollout plan. I ain't roll it out yet. Okay, because I got probably like seven to eight interviews waiting to drop. And I got some more I'm gonna get. Let me go to Illinois GameConnor. It's a band that's gonna be there. Some other people that I'm getting interviews from, but just to have everything scheduled on YouTube. Right now, I think seven o'clock, one of the live game streams posted. I got every 7 p.m. for I think at least the next 12 days, one of the game streams I've had post a lot. So I just got so much content that I should have something posted every day. I hope.

SPEAKER_00 50:19

Yeah, it's a lot making the content. People don't understand that when you have a YouTube channel, I just do the uh hacking and modding as a hobby, and it's a lot of stuff to do. It doesn't matter if you're doing conversation stuff, you gotta videos go through the whole nonsense.

SPEAKER_02 50:32

Hell yeah. It's those were a lot of fun. Yo, I ain't gonna lie, that's where we at. And I ain't gonna I'm gonna tell you how good it was. It was so good. We had people there at Illinois Game Concept come do it. You know what I mean? It wasn't like we just said come do it. They was like, hey man, we would love come do that, right? Hey, no problem. We'll come there and do that, you know, come too. So uh yeah, we're gonna be doing a lot of that. Nonetheless, uh, Joe, I'm gonna just go on here, man. We're gonna uh you know continue on with the show. I just wanted to bring you on for that piece. Get your word. I know everybody's gonna love that. I'm gonna clip that up, man. We need everybody to to really hear about the the culture. I think people are gonna feel you with the way cost of living is going out to eat. Even if you go to the grocery store now, you're getting taxed. You know what I mean? You can't go, you can't dodge it. That dollar dollar tree went up. You know what I mean? Dollar tree.

SPEAKER_00 51:24

It's sometimes cheaper for me to buy ingredients at a supermarket than to buy it wholesale. I'm not lying to you.

SPEAKER_02 51:30

I believe it.

SPEAKER_00 51:30

I messaged it.

SPEAKER_02 51:32

I've seen that a couple times, man. I've seen that a couple times too. So you're not alone on that one. Sick, sick, sick right now. But hopefully it gets better.

SPEAKER_00 51:41

If I don't come back on, like and subscribe to Nick Mostel 5 on the Facebook and the YouTube.

SPEAKER_02 51:46

My dog, man. You know, if you're there, man, I got you at the end. I'm gonna do the choose your fate. You know how we do, we do all the choose your fate, yeah. Holler back, man. Yeah, that's my dog. You know what I'm saying? Fox Den Joe, go holler at him. You know what I mean? Fox Den. Yeah, there you go. You got the tutorials up. You know, you can go check your video game. I might got some PlayStation Needs you want to check out. You know, I mean, I'm trying to get away from the dark side, man. You're trying to pull me back in. Y'all seen it firsthand live. They try to pull me back in the dark side. I don't want to. Devin, why you doing it, man? I don't go to the dark side I stayed away from the dark side long enough. I've been good. Man, you know what I'm saying? They gave me a pen on the shoulder, man. Good job. Nonetheless, let's go ahead and move on to the next topic. And uh, I'm gonna go ahead and put the ticker up for this one. Hopefully, I got the ticker correct. Let's see. Ah, okay. There we go. There we go. All right. So, y'all see it there, y'all know what's going on, and everybody who loves games, probably mad at this one. I know I love the stop killing games movement. I know I love that. Okay. And Destiny 2 is the next up. Now, at least with Destiny 2, there is a good ending. But I want to go ahead and let everybody know the whole shebang with this. There's a lot more to unpack. Alright. Destiny 2 is reaching the end of active development. That was, I don't know why the wolf pack came. Let's we maybe we can get a better sound.

unknown 53:20

Do you notice me?

SPEAKER_02 53:21

Okay, let's try something else. Alright, well, I give up. I just give up. I don't know what the hell I got. Bungie announced that Destiny 2 Monument of Triumph coming June 9th, 2026, will be the game's final live service content update. It's a fact. It's a fact. The game is not shutting down, though. I don't want y'all to stop. Oh no, what's happening? It's not shutting down. Destiny 2 will remain playable, similar to the original Destiny. Everybody remember the original Destiny. So it's gonna remain in, I guess, like a maintenance mode. So it's gonna be active, you know. Content development is coming to an end, though. And that's after almost nine damn years. We gotta give it up for him, man. Do we got anything? Damn, we gotta get some up. There we go. Booker T. Give him a can, you dig it. Nine years, man. I ain't gonna lie, Destiny 2 had a good run. Great game if you haven't played. I'm just gonna give a shout out to all those who played Destiny 2, man. And you know, put away your halo for a bit. And went ahead and said, Hey, I'm gonna get into Destiny 2. I feel you. But for Destiny players, this is the end of a real era, y'all. Like, this era of Destiny is over. This was not just a shooter people played for a weekend, y'all. This is one people dumped thousands, thousands, they dumped it. They ain't dump it, they dumped it. But people dumped thousands of dollars into destiny. Destiny 2 became a routine for a lot of people. Raids, different guns, seasonal events, expansions, exotic weapons, meeting with your friends, armor grinding, pvp, uh, the late night missions, uh, years of memories, man. I could tell you, I'm one that knows about Destiny 2. I wasn't in like everybody else, but I was in. Okay, I was in. So when Bungie says the game is moving into its final service update, hit different for the people that treated destiny like life. Hell no, but yo, it hit a little different, man. Destiny 2 is ending, it's a sad ending. I'm sure a lot of people wanted Destiny 2 to continue to go on, or maybe just Destiny 3 to be right there, but no, it's not happening. So, the bigger problem with modern gaming today is why we come back to this same talk every time. What do we actually do when we pay for digital games, bro? Destiny 2 still gonna be playable. So, this ain't the same thing like we dealt with in all the other ones. This is not a full shutdown. Thank the lord. This is not the crew situation, thank you, Lord. But destiny has already had years of paid content, it's all gonna be vaulted, changed, removed, unplayable? What it's unavailable. That's where me as a player would be frustrated as hell because when you spend money on expansions, uh, seasons, cosmetics, content, all types of things, the company still controls the long term. That's why I believe this still connects directly to the stop killing games movement. The movement took off, for those who do not know, after Ubisoft shut down the crew. Now, the crew was one of those games that required you to have an online connection even to play the damn thing. So it became unplayable once the servers turned off. That's crazy. The argument that they have is that it costs a lot to run these servers. I say the argument is not that companies should update games forever. I don't think they should update games forever. That is not realistic at all. I don't think so. I don't expect a company to be, you know, oh, oh, Sonny, let's log into my account back when I was six, and I'm gonna show you all my achievements. I don't expect that. But the argument is when a company sells you a damn game, there should be some kind of end-of-life plan going into it so the game does not disappear when the publisher is done with it. Period, point blank. This could mean offline mode. Maybe give us our own hosted files so we can host our own servers to keep the game alive. Hell, maybe we can build our own mods and add-ons to keep the game alive. This is why PC gamers shit on console gamers. Because well, after a game's lifespan, it will continue in a PC world, but in a console world, it dies. And appreciate it, camera quality too. Yo, I appreciate it, man. I try to keep try to keep, you know, I I enhance every year. You know what I mean? That's a little you know, camera quality step. Uh every online multiplayer game must come with a single player campaign. I want to pull that up because I believe that is a good point. Every online multiplayer game must come with a single player campaign, so therefore, you cannot release a game that they could stick you to an online only mode or a co-op only mode, which means you might have to sign into a server. And a lot of reasons for this is because in Xbox Live Gold plans and PlayStation Plus plans, damn, that was a lot, that was a tongue full. They actually are charging you for that plan, and then you play with others. You can't play with others if you're not part of that plan. So a lot of people pay to play. Let's be honest, that's a shitty deal from the jump. We can we really listen, we need to rewind the truck all the way back. That's the shitty deal. The fact that I gotta buy Xbox Live Gold to play with you online, that's the shitty deal. Then we got the you know what? My bad. But they could provide some sort of offline support mode, whatever you want to call it, private server, right? Give me some private server support, a final patch that lets the game keep functioning without depending completely on the internet or the company. That's where the industry needs to go. Period. Point blank. They need if you're going to take away physical ownership, you need to give us some sort of digital ownership, real digital ownership, not a license, but it should be a license to files that we can actually hold physically, which means I can then put these files on a USB drive and hold them physically. That's it. That's it. So if a game sold like a product, the players should not feel like they got like rented access to the shit. Like that's what I feel like. It's rented access. And then the company all of a sudden changes its priorities and says, Oh gosh, I don't want it no more. Oh, I'm gonna stop running my server. It don't work like that, man. If it's just a license, say it! Say it with your chest. That's what I don't like about gaming companies. They're lying to us. Just stop lying. Just say, yo, I'm giving you a license. You don't really own the game, and I'm gonna be honest, the server may shut down at any point. Do you agree? Don't put that shit at the beginning in the terms where the terms are 17 pages. You need to put just that. Hey, just so you know, this is a license for this software. The server could go down at any point. Do you still want to play? Hit that shit. And if you say no, do you want a refund? Right after. Give a refund. That is it. That is how we feel like we getting our just due. We should not feel like we got rented access, man. That's not right. Okay. If the content can disappear later, make that clear before I spend my ducats. Cause it'll be crazy if I went up to Popeye's for a six-piece and I get it, and they tell me one of the chicken wings disappeared. Hell no! The chicken wing, no, we're not going for the chicken wing. You know, it just disappeared. We ran out of chicken. Nope. You gotta replace something for that wing. And Popeyes might give me a tinder. What are you gonna do? So the business side matters too. I'm not gonna cap. Alright. My man D D, what's going on from Russia? Oh man. We go back like Ajax, Flapjacks, Crackerjacks with the prize in it, man. What's going on with you, man? We got Melbourne, Australia, Russia, Indonesia. We got a lot of different countries to tune in, and we got a lot tuning in from multiple platforms. Thank y'all. Share out the content. Hit the like. Let's go. Um Sony bought Bungie for 3.6 billion in 2022, bro. 3.6 billion in 2022. And since then, Bungie has had layoffs. Bungie has not been doing the numbers. Y'all think Destiny 2 has not been rocking out like they should have. Destiny 2 has underperformed, to be honest, compared to expectations. They took multiple losses. Sony has taken impairment losses. Ah, a lot of people don't know about that. Okay. They're shifting their focus to marathon. That's where it's going. Forget Destiny 3. Marathon. That's what they're focusing on. That's where they need to go. I think it's probably just put all your eggs in the basket. That's where gaming has gone right now. Triple A companies must have these huge gaming budgets or they will not survive, apparently. So, from a business standpoint, that is what happens when the numbers do not match the investment because you got way too much money coming in, and then you ain't making the money, and now you got to pay people. The company pivots. From a player standpoint, it feels like the game helped build you up to move you to the side to tear you down and let you know you ain't really in control. That's what I don't like about this whole situation. Now, before I move on to the next subject, one thing I wanted to state because this is a win for us, especially here in the states. When I looked at the Stop Killing Games movement, I look for the movement and all the others in the U.S. And Colorado has been in the mix lately because Governor Jarrett Polis vetoed a bill that was very important to gaming, and a lot of people don't know about it. So, Jared, shout out to you, man. Jared also plays games, by the way. But Governor Jarrett, shout out to Jared, man. He vetoed a bill that would have added. A 5% fee to online video game purchases, including in-game purchases, character costumes, upgrades, storyline content, you name it. In Colorado, there would have been a five percent tax. And guess what they said it's for? It's supposed to help fund youth mental health programs. I'm gonna be honest, I'm all for youth mental health programs. But there is money that should be funded and already set to the side for these programs. We should not be taking extra money from consumers because that's all it does, is we have to pay more to fund a youth mental health program. And what if my kid is not addicted to video games? Not fair. But I understand trying to help for bigger cause, but I don't think the 5%. I think it's just highway robbery, and I don't think you're gonna use all the money anyway, like for any youth mental programs. I think you're gonna probably get a new carpet or something. That's me personally. That's just how I feel. That's just how I feel, okay? But Jared pushed back on this bill. He said that storyline content, um, all the cosmetics upgrades, all that is artistic expression. That matters. Gamers complain about microtransactions already all the time. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's not. I'm gonna be honest, sometimes it's absolute abuse. Battle pass, I'm looking at you. But there is a difference between criticizing bad monetization and letting the government treat video game content like an extra form of revenue. We're not doing that. And Jared understood the assignment. Let's give Jared a big whatever sound we got.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:00

Can you dig it, nigga? Sucker. Sucker.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:03

I can dig it. I can dig it. Let's go ahead and move on to our next one. Alright, and hopefully we got this correct. Trying to get everything, you know, we're professional. Bam, y'all know what time it is, man. Y'all know me. I'm gonna go through this real quick because I ain't gonna bore y'all to death. I ain't gonna bore y'all to death with this one. But uh, let's change this caption real quick. For those who do not know, I'm going to take my sip first before I just celebrate. Starbucks cup. Feeling real bougie today. Y'all, we have felt the pain from Call of Duty. As a Call of Duty representer for a long time, we were stomping out every first-person shooter that came along. I don't care what you're saying. But our last franchise needs to be forgotten. I don't want anyone to remember the last Call of Duty. If I had the men in black thing that I could flash at the camera right now, I would do it to every single one of you. You don't need to remember the last call of duty. We want to forget the name, we want to forget everything. We don't care if it's it's it's Trey Arc or we don't know. Don't don't ever look at that. Don't ever look at that. You look at Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4. Talk to me nice. Namo in the building. What's going on? Nate Mo already know what's up. We ain't got to talk Nate Mo. We call it Duty. We've been there. Hey, hey, many nights, man. Namo been on there. We've been a tag team back again. Rex in the face though. Let's begin. Body on, body be. Man, we come on. But Call of Duty Modern Warfare has officially been revealed. And this one already looks like it's going to be the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be. It's going to be the most talked about Call of Duty release in years. It is going to be the Call of Duty of Call of Duties. And the game is set to launch on October 23rd, 2026 on PS5, Xbox, and that's a Siri X and S. Okay. PC and Nintendo Switch 2. But there's some sad news. It is also the first Call of Duty to completely leave out PlayStation 4 and Xbox One behind. Round two. That's true. It's gonna be the first one. Now it's all good. I don't care because I got a Series X. I'm gonna be playing. You know what I'm saying? But for all those with your poverty boxes, I feel for you. I got poverty boxes as well. Okay, and yes, they are poverty boxes. Alright, which means we need to upgrade. We need to respect our poverty box because we can get a lot out of it. Okay? But it's honest, it's a poverty box. You need to do better. Right? It's Call of Duty. Modern Warfare 4. You do not need to download this with a poverty box. You need to step up before October 23rd. You got a lot of time to upgrade. But it's the first one to leave those systems behind. Which means Activision is cutting the last gen core. They're trying to push the series forward, technically. I think that's just me. But the biggest conversation right now is not just the graphics, it's not just the platforms, it is the campaign setting. If you have not watched the trailer, take your ass after the show and watch the trailer. Modern Warfare 4 is taking the series into a fictional conflict on the Korean peninsula. And it has North Korea launching an invasion on South Korea, sparking a larger global crisis. Does this seem real? Does this seem like this is really happening? Are we making games based on real things? Hmm. Okay. The story follows some new characters, including South Korean and American Marines. Alright? Or I believe they're South Korean conscripts. Is that how you pronounce it? I think they're conscripts. I'm not too into the military terms, okay? I just I'm just good with the Glocks. Alright. But South Korean conscripts and American Marines. It's also gonna be continuing Captain Price's storyline after the events of Modern Warfare 3. Y'all, it's over, man. This is the best Call of Duty. Why am I still telling y'all? Get your You know what? I ain't gonna say nothing. I ain't gonna say nothing. I'm gonna just tell you. Watch the trailer after this. So, um, and I'm gonna be honest, on paper, this sounds like classic Call of Duty, right? Classic. I know all y'all that ain't the Call of Duty fanboys like me. I'm a person that respects Call of Duty to the fullest because I know what this game series really is. Big global conflict, real world tension, oh cinematics, oh but I will say this is also where the controversy really starts. The real Korean War never officially ended. Why are you playing with real war? I gotta ask Call of Duty. Call of Duty was last year that bad that you say we gonna have to resort to using real ish? Sad to say I kinda like it. I don't like playing with real conflict, though. It ain't cool. Because if somebody plays this and get real feelings and it does some real ish, that ain't cool. But movies do it. Music, mmm, can video games get one off? Can call if any franchise can get it off, can Call of Duty get this one off and we not take it personally this time? Can Call of Duty get this one off and can we not take it personally this time? Please. So as far as the Korean War, it never officially ended. It's been under, I don't know how to pronounce that. What is it? Like a it's it's a um I can think of the word. It's an arm arm armistice or something. I don't know what it is, but it's been under that for a long time, okay? Many families have been affected, and the history is textbook. Like a lot of people know this who know history. I failed history, I am terrible at it. I don't care. I just saw the trailer, I felt it. It felt real. I've been waiting for the real do you know how fake that last Call of Duty felt? We don't speak the name, don't speak the name. Nobody here even needs to speak the name of the chat. I forbid the name. That Call of Duty was so terrible we will forget it. But I will say there are people who are still alive who were directly impacted by separated families because of this entire trauma. And now you're releasing a game about it. So some people it may not be cool. How do I feel if they do, you know, the guy released that game, Plantation What It Was? How do I feel? I don't really care. Like, I and the reason I don't care, it's not because I'm so far removed, it's just the fact that we should know trolling when we see it, we should know ignorance when we see it, and you should not engage with ignorance unless you're just gonna engage with more ignorance and understand I'm trolling you. Don't get angry, all right. When a major entertainment franchise turns into a movie or a real situation, everybody start jumping up. Oh my goodness, there's no reason a blockbuster shooter should be telling these real bold stories around real things. Some people are gonna see it as exploiting real world pain. I'm going to be honest, it is. It is the same way many movies lean on it, the same way there's music that leans on it. How many rap albums have I heard where it's leaning on killing? It's leaning on it, and we let it fly. It's number one on the charts. So, can Call of Duty get one off, y'all? Please. Get one off. Now, what else? There was some other information I wanted to talk about uh as far as Call of Duty. Okay, there we go. I found it here. Uh, Infinity Wars uh Defense is basically that real world locations and modern conflict have always been a part of modern warfare. They said, what the hell are you what the hell are you getting mad over? We've been doing this shit. Like I can't even believe y'all got your panties in a bunch. We've been doing this from day one. Shut up. That's what they said. I found that hilarious. Uh one big thing I did not mention. Multiplayer. Infinity War is going to make a big change to gunplay. Who loves gunplay in first-person shooters? I know I do. One thing they hate about console players is the aiming. They feel like, man, it's like it's like you got auto aim. Well, guess what? Modern Warfare 4 is removing hip fire weapon bloom. You don't know what that is? Let me explain it. In a lot of shooters, when you shoot from the hip, right? You shoot from the hip. Everybody knows hip fire is so damn good in first-person shooters. If you don't know how to use it, please learn. Okay. But now, hip fire used to be where your bullets can randomly spread inside the crossfire area. That's how it used to be. So you have a crossfire. If you hit fired and you had the crosshairs on the person, man, you spraying them up. But the randomness is supposed to simulate inaccuracy for you know the spraying in a first-person shooter. In Modern Warfare 4, that changes. If you ain't got real shooting skills, you better step up. Because the game tracks the actual muzzle of the gun. So when you pull the trigger, the bullet goes where the barrel is pointing. So that works even if you're doing anything, even if you're running, sliding. Might sound small, but for competitive players, that is gonna be a big deal. Less randomness, RNG. Competitive players hate RNG. We want more accountability. We want to know that you really did it. If you hit the shot, you hit the shot. That's all it is. If you miss, you miss. That's it. Skilled players are probably going to love it because it rewards aim. Tracking. Good movement. Hand and eye coordination. But casuals, they're gonna see it differently. Because close range fights are gonna be real lethal now. You're gonna miss your shots. But somebody who can aim, black out! So somebody can't just slide around a corner blazing from the hip no more. It don't work. Because you're gonna slide around that corner and you're gonna go boom, and your gun's gonna be pointing up here, and it's gonna shoot straight up. As it should. So, all the sweaty players that slide around corners trying to beam people, it is a rap for you. It is over. You are not doing that hip fire garbage. You're gonna actually have to stop, aim, shoot. Who knows what kind of perks they're gonna have, y'all? We gotta look out for the perks. Um, another thing, this is the last thing before I move on, because Call of Duty I love so much, but I ain't gonna keep going on. There's DMZ, y'all. Everybody know zombies has always been a thing of Call of Duty, but that last Call of Duty, even though Zombies was good, we're not gonna talk about the name. But this Modern Warfare 4, there is DMZ. Because Modern Warfare 4 is bringing back it as its major alternative to zombies, right? So DMZ is, they feel a better alternative to zombies. And I think it's a big statement to where we have come today. Because Call of Duty has had zombies as one of its most popular, you know, side missions ever. Ever. But now Infinity War is taking a step back looking into the atmosphere and seeing that extraction shooters is where it's at. So Activision is still chasing a sandbox survival like loop where you drop in, loot, and complete objectives. Nah, Infinity War, they know where it's at, man. We want to lean back to extraction shooters. It's what's hot right now. I'm not gonna lie, they did right because people do like extraction shooters, it is very popular right now, and I can see this mode being popular. Now, whether it will be popular in the future, they do not care because they are trying to come now. Pause. So, I'm gonna ask everybody out there, how do you feel about Call of Duty? Modern Warfare 4. Will this actually be the Call of Duty of Call of Duty's? Will it be a good Call of Duty? Will it be better than a lot of the first-person shooters we've seen out there? Because I can tell you this year alone, do you want to know the first-person shooters that I have played that have smoked Call of Duty? I can tell you, ready or not, body cam. And a lot of people don't know about body cam. I'm gonna say it again, body cam. Look it up. If you have not played it, it is the most realistic shooter I have ever played in my life. And I'm not talking about realistic just on, oh my goodness, the people, the the AI acted so real. And no, I'm talking about realistic that when you look at it, you cannot tell me the difference if that was a real person or if that was a video game. It's amazing. So, how do you feel about Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4? Would you like to see it? Yes or no. Now, we're gonna go ahead and move on to the next one. Bam, y'all know what time it is, man. It's always the time for the one, man. This is Dude, I got the munchies. Yes, if you like your left-hand cigarettes, if you got a fat boy snack pack, if you like to go out at 2 a.m., because yo, I'm hungry, man. Everything closed. This is the spot for you. We talk about some of the greatest, latest foods that are hitting to your area. And you are going to love this. So please, let's jump right into it. And I'm gonna pull up the chat again. I don't want to miss y'all. But I want to pull up some things before I go into it. Devin, it should come out standalone, not in a zone where all the COD are. Okay. Petrix. This is another one. Far as Call of Duty could be a great game. I like the innovation you describe, the re-hip firing, but trailers can be very deceiving, misleading. I hope it goes good as expected. He is absolutely correct. Trailers have been so misleading, so much so that some video game companies have been sued because the trailer did not look. And I want to say that was Watch Dogs 2, that actually used footage that was not ever in the game and did not look nothing like it. I may be miss, you know, some misinformation there, but I think I'm correct. I think I'm correct. So without further ado, let's get to the first one for dude. I got the Uckin Munchies. Yes, Uckin Munchies. We gotta try to keep it. You know, we're trying to keep a little bit of the algorithm and a little bit, just a little bit, a smudge, a smudge, here we go. So I hope this plays correctly. Y'all let me know. Okay. So first up, all right, I gotta put hold on, hold on. Let me get my sounds right because I don't hear myself in my ear. I gotta make sure I hear myself. There we go. First up, y'all, this is crazy. I didn't even know about it until now. But TikTok has a new viral food trend called Kool-Aid pineapples. People are taking pineapple spears, mixing the juice with Kool-Aid powder and extra sugar, and then letting the fruit soak until it turns bright red, blue, pink, whatever color you put in there that gets the most attention online, apparently. That's what people are doing. I ain't gonna lie, it looks beautiful. Uh, I don't know about looks delicious because to me it's like and when you start doing the juice, yeah. But it does look pretty interesting, and I already know it tastes good. Like I can think about it tasting good, but that's sugar. Oh my goodness. Let's not pretend this is healthy anymore, okay? Let's just be honest with ourselves. You're getting pineapples, which is already a sweet, sugary fruit, okay? It's supposed to be a healthy option versus. Eating a damn Reese's peanut butter cup. And you now made it no longer a healthy option. At that point, the pineapple is candy fruit with texture. Now I'm going to go ahead and yes, good. Okay, let's go ahead and hit the loop with the video. Alright, I wanted to make sure to get the video on the loop. But yes, there is no sound. I didn't want the sound to play over me, but you see what they're doing. They're buying, I believe, members marks. I'm not sure if those are at Costco or Sam's Club. I think it's Sam's Club. But they're going ahead and taking those pineapples. As you can see on screen, putting sugar and packets of Kool-Aid in there. Uh now we have Chelsea with a no thanks to the Kool-Aid pineapples. Momo says, if you take a bite, you don't put it back into the water. Bravo, Momo. I gotta give you that one. You get a can, you dig it. I think that's what makes it grossed out. Right? That's the part that makes it gross. When you take it out, do not put your crusty finger juice and all that back in there. That is disgusting. Matter of fact, like this one right here. You see how I fell back in there? Right? Hold on, hold on, hold on. I gotta stop it right there. That's I'm not eating out that jar anymore. That jar, that is your jar, first of all. And I hate to be the one to do this. I know, I know, I know. I just gotta do it. I can't stand those hairlines, bro. I can't stand those hairlines. I gotta say it. I don't know why they do the whole drawing on thing, and I don't know where that's at. Is that in Atlanta or something? I don't know. I don't know, bro. Just educate me. I'm out the loop. But I hate them hairlines, and and then you got your fingers in the joint, and then you got the don't tap me up with them knuckles because I'm a you know what I mean, but I'm not gonna lie, the plate she got slamming, got the whole Kool-Aid joint. All right, you know what I'm saying? I feel you. I feel you on that. But I just had to say, don't put your don't put your finger, put some vodka in it, and it makes it hard fruit bites. My man Devin said diabetes heart attack drink. Now look, he did it with cherry and pineapples. That is interesting. That is interesting, but he's right. You put some vodka in it, make it now. I ain't gonna lie. If you make a little alcoholic drink, that is an interesting party dessert, right? Like, hey guys, these are loaded with vodka and something else. So each one you eat, but vodka's strong. You know what I'm saying? You're gonna be like, I can imagine your face with some vodka. Oh my goodness. But that's the uh, how do y'all feel about the Kool-Aid pineapples? That's the Kool-Aid pineapples. Things look delicious, man. I can't even lie to you. They do look delicious. Like, but I know it's a heart attack waiting to happen. Why would I do that to myself? It would be idiotic to just do that to myself. Let's move on to the next one. Alright. Oh, I gotta take this one away. Why didn't you replace it? Remove. There we go. So this one, I'm not gonna lie, looks delicious. Panda Express is launching a new Cantonese barbecue brisket for the summer. And I'm not gonna lie, y'all, my fat boy jeans kicked in. Alright. I ain't gonna lie. I like the real Chinese joint, you know what I'm saying? But occasionally, when you know, I hit the I hit the panda for the American version. You feel me? Alright? This Cantonese barbecue brisket, it's slow-cooked brisket seared in a char sou-style glaze with flavors like soy sauce, fermented soybean paste, marin, and sesame oil. I hope I got those ingredients correct because I don't know how to pronounce most of that. I'm gonna be honest. But they're saying 44 grams of protein, y'all, which makes it one of the biggest items they have put on the menu, period. And I'm interested. Okay, I'm all in. I'm not gonna cap. Brisket at Panda Express feels like it's one of those things that's either going to be amazing and you're going to say they should have done this a long time ago, or it's going to be terrible, rubbery, not taste real, and you're going to get rid of it after the summer. It's one or the other. It's one or the other. I want to ask here who eats Panda Express? And if you do, would you get the barbecue brisket? All right, I'm not gonna lie. I would get it. I already get the orange chicken and the beef. Okay, that's a good little mix. And I ain't gonna lie, sometimes I kick out the chicken and just get the beef, or sometimes I do double chicken. You feel me? Let's keep it real. The double chicken be hitting. All right, but this one you can do the triple entree. You can get the beef, the chicken, and you can get the barbecue brisket. Oh, I'm not gonna lie. Panda coming with it, man. They're coming with it. So we got oh, I'll try it. There we go. We got one. I'm not gonna lie, it looks good. So, all right, yo, holla at you, Joe. Definitely holler at you. You know what I'm saying? My guy, I appreciate you coming on, man, and sharing with us. We're gonna we're gonna clip all day. Devin, yes. I we got two. Yo, ain't nobody said no. Ain't nobody said no to this. I'm not gonna lie, Panda Express. I'm in. Y'all won Panda. I'm gonna give you a sound. What is it? Oh, damn. My bad. I ain't mean to give you the. I gotta do them again. Let's uh come on.

unknown 1:33:44

Can you dig it, nigga?

SPEAKER_02 1:33:45

There we go. You gotta can you dig it, man? Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. I'm not gonna lie. We are right now, I wanna say we are one for one. I'm not with the pineapples, but I am in on the barbecue brisket. So let's go ahead and move on to the next one. And I'm gonna see if I'm in on. All right, boom. Now it should have removed it. Why didn't you place it? Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. Let's get to it. Chipotle is testing crispy chicken, and they ain't telling you, they doing it under your nose sneakingly. All right, right now it looks like only one confirmed location in Tustin, California has it. It's sneaking, they're doing it under your nose. Snack a later. Thank you for the picture. The chicken is breaded and fried. You can add it to your bowls, burritos, tacos, or even salads. I'm not mad. Crispy chicken at Chipotle dough changes the healthy vibe. Am I right on that? Am I right? It feels like Chipotle didn't switch to Chick-fil-A. That's just me. Like, what are you putting? You put, but I am with it. I am 100% down. I like Chipotle. When I go to Chipotle, I think it's a fresh option. That's why I go there. I typically go, yo, something fresh, something that's gonna clean me out. I'm going to be on the toilet within the hour. I love that stuff, right? If you ever want to clean yourself out, trust me, get a burrito from Chipotle. Get rice, beans, all that. You will clean that colon quick. All right. It goes in just as fast as it goes out. Crispy chicken fried in a bowl and a burrito and a Chipotle. My bad, that was the wrong button again, man. I I gotta do you something better. Chipotle, you get the Wolfpack music. You get the Wolfpack music, of course. That is delicious. We all okay. We got Chipotle, it is so gross now. No thanks. Chipotle, when Chipotle get gross. When it get gross, did y'all let me know Chipotle has been, yo. It's been delicious. You know what I mean? I don't know. Somebody let me know. Maybe you went to the wrong Chipotle. We gotta get you to a better Chipotle. You know what I mean? Chipotle, you can't be, hey man, Chipotle, Chipotle. Salad looks good or for taco. I'm not gonna lie. That looks great for a taco. That looks delicious for a taco. Salad, too. I think if you're a salad person, having these, even just getting these on the side and adding them to your salad would be a nice plus. Would be a nice plus. So we we in or we out. We gotta ha-ha-ha. You know what I mean? I feel you. I'm in. I'm all in with this one, man. So we two for one right now. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. I gotta say, okay. Without antibiotics and free of artificial, come on, sounds like EU meat. Yo, my man Ender, man. He said that joy sound like EU meat, man. Damn, man. Yo, it look read look responsibly raised without antibiotics. Hand cut and juicy, free of preservatives, gluten, or anything artificial. Oh my goodness, man. You are hilarious, Andy. You're hilarious. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Just me. Only chat, man. Only chat. Okay, now I'm gonna go ahead and click. There we go. So this one I'm not gonna lie. Great news. Great news because I think it's about time. Let's go ahead and give it up first and foremost for Popeye's, man. We gotta give it up, y'all. Popeye's is bringing its famous biscuits to the grocery store in a box mix. Finally! Popeye's biscuits is spending time with me. The biscuits come in home style and Cajun cheddar. Each box is gonna make up to 10 biscuits. I love the idea, especially the Cajun cheddar flavor. But we all are going to question is it really going to have that real Popeye's taste? Okay? Is it going to be like that or is it gonna be like a regular biscuit mix? Like bisquick, right? I can make biscuits with biscuit. I also can make pancakes. Is it gonna be like that? Either way, you're going to need something to drink because we know it's gonna be dry as hell. Like Popeye's biscuits are now frozen. Most locations are not making them in-house anymore. It is terrible. Look at the biscuits at Popeye's. Y'all remember when the biscuits used to be different shapes? Used to have cones and all this different. Every biscuit at Popeye's is the same level. It's like a damn, if you put a coin a quarter on the biscuits, it would slide all the way down like a damn Plinko machine. Like it is ridiculous. Alright? I wish we go back to making biscuits fresh. And maybe we can get real biscuits with this box. So I'm hoping. I'm praying. If not, just give us the frozen biscuits. Put them in the stores. We will buy Popeye's frozen biscuits. You sell them in the restaurant. We can just buy them. Done deal. White Castle sells the burgers. Come on. So how do y'all feel? Popeye's biscuits in and out. I'm in, of course. I love the Texas Roadhouse Rolls. I love the Red Lobster uh cheddar biscuits. I love, what's another one? Um, it's another biscuit. I'm probably forgetting. Church's chicken. I'm looking at you, Church's you right now, and I gotta ask this for everybody out there. What is the number one biscuit in the business right now? We got a few. You go to Texas Roadhouse, slamming, okay? The moral slamming. You go to Olive Garden, bread slamming. Okay? You go to Red Lobster, Cheddar Biscuits, slamming. But church's biscuits to me got them beat, y'all. I must be ghetto. I must be ghetto because churches with the little drizzle on the sweet. Oh man, am I am I just ghetto from the hood? Or does church's biscuits really have all those others beat? Cracker Barrel biscuits. I'm not gonna lie, Cracker Barrel biscuits is fresh. They fresh. But the thing with Cracker Barrel is if you did not have butter, right, would they be as good? See the thing about these other ones we can name, you can just bite it. Texas Rollhouse, you just bite the roll. It just hit different. Cracker Barrel's fire though. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, it's super fire, bro. I'm not, I don't even know why I'm capping right now. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Now, we talking. Taco Bell has been on a roll, and for those who do not know, Taco Bell has single-handedly taken, I think, the creative energy and has become number one in the industry. I don't think no one has been as creative with food and the market as Taco Bell being able to innovate, create instantly, and bring out. I think they're the quickest. And this latest is just another step. Taco Bell has brought back the shredded beef dipping taco, and that's not the icing on the cake. The icing on the cake is they're adding the new shredded beef nacho fries. Yes, the taco has shredded beef, three cheese blend, and creamy jalapeno sauce, and a crispy grilled crusted tortilla with red sauce, right? Delicious. You can dip it right there. Beautiful. The fries, though, is what I'm here to talk about. The fries come loaded with shredded beef, nacho cheese, three cheese blend, creamy jalapeno sauce, and pico de gallo. You might think it sounds messy, unnecessary, disgusting, but I'm not gonna lie, it's exactly what Taco Bell fans love. And that is what I'm going to try next to Taco Bell. I'm trying the shredded beef nacho fries. It's an automatic yes for me. Automatic yes. We've been waiting for the shredded beef. I can get shredded beef mixed with the cheese or mixed with the fries? I can just eat it with a fork. What? That's a full meal. I get the the meat, I get the cheese, I get the fries. I come on, man. What are we talking about? Taco Bell won. You won, Taco Bell. Okay, you won. I ate this 10 minutes ago, and that's it. That's bogus, man. I'm hungry too. And that's it. You know what? I bet it was good. Now that you said it was delicious, I gotta try it. I know it was. It looks delicious. It looks delicious. Right? Anytime you got something that looks delicious, you know it is. Devin, fire. It's fire, bro. Nonetheless, let's move on. Because I'm getting hungry. I'm getting hungry. In or out. It seems like everybody's in on the shredded beef taco. Let's go ahead and move on. Shredded beef taco. You won! Nacho cheese beef fries. You won. The dipping sauce. Come on. Yeah, y'all ain't gonna lie, man. They dipping, they're giving you dipping sauce for the come on, man. Let me move on. Let me move on. That's what I gotta try next. Okay, let's move on to the next one. That looks so good, bro. Yeah, look, man. Okay. Nothing butt cakes. Delicious cakes. If you have not tried them, you must try them. They are some of the moist cakes you will ever try in your life. Nothing Bunt Cakes has revealed its summer dessert lineup. And I need y'all to listen close. Because I think they're about to shut it down. S'mores made with Hershey's is coming back. As you can see on screen. But they got a couple other sneaks. Peach Cobbler is coming in June. Cinnamon Roll Buntlet is coming in July. Shall I continue? Lemon raspberry returns later in the summer. I've tried lemon raspberry. That is the most delicious one I have tried yet. Turtle Cheesecake Squirrel is also on the way. That lineup's strong. I ain't gonna lie. But the peach cobbler is the biggest sleeper out of all of them. Turtle cheesecake squirrel sounds good. It sounds delicious. Sounds like everybody loved that. But we gotta talk. If this peach cobbler is what it is, oh Charlie. We talking, so nothing butt cakes. Shout out to y'all. If you have not tried one, very small, they make bigger cakes. It is delicious. Cakes. Not toffee. I'm not gonna lie. Toffee would have been nice, but yes, peach cobbler. You that's what I'm saying. Peach cobbler is oh my goodness. I can't wait. I cannot wait. For those who do not know, I had some ice cream at Andy's and I had the blueberry cobla. Oh my goodness. Andy's ice cream. Shout out to you. Blueberry cobbler is the best tasting flavor I've ever had at Andy's. Let me get off the fat boy thing. Okay. Y'all, that is, dude, I got the munchies. I gotta get my fat ass off this subject. Okay. I just got to. It's just too much. It's too much. I am hungry right now. I'm just gonna take a drink, okay? I need something because damn, that was good. So let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Alright, next one. This one's gonna be very quick, simple. Everybody, we discussed it with Joe a moment ago, but yes, we are going to be at Illinois GameCon for June 6, 2026. Yes, we will be there, y'all. I need y'all, if you are in the Bloomington area of Illinois, I need you to check your boy out. Alright? We are doing multiple interviews. We are doing, you know, we did to choose your fate. What is the best game of all time? Worst game of all time. What is your favorite RPG? What's your favorite shooter? We are going to be questioning everybody, but we will have one long form video. Which actually two, excuse me, because we will have the Illinois Game Con video, but that's separate. We will be doing Finding the Smartest Gamer. Alright. So you'll see a lot of those clips, but we'll have the long form video of that. But let's talk about Illinois GameCon because a lot of people do not know. I ain't gonna lie. I don't know much about Illinois GameCon. This will be my first time ever attending. So I have no idea what to expect, but I'm going to pull up some things and I want to see real fast. So one thing I want to do is pull up the website. We can take a look together, right? At the website so everybody can know time and everything. Screen share. Hopefully, I got this right. I'll be screwing up stuff for real. I do all the time. There we go. Okay, as you can see on screen. Illinois GameCon, Bloomington, Illinois. This is where we are going to be on June 6th. We will be doing live content. We will be taking all strong opinions of video games. We are going to be shaking ish up when we get there.

There's also tournaments and more. It's going to be next Saturday or the Saturday coming up, I should say, June 6th at Interstate Center in Bloomington, Illinois. Alright, and they got a bunch of things. Check out tons of experience. Yada yada yada. You know, you can go to the website and check that. Dude, right here, that caught me off guard, bro. Like he. Yo, what is going on? I'm let me get off this, man. Let me get off this. It's just looking crazy. Alright, Jurassic Great Local Food. Okay. So you see the event early access pass. If you want it, a lot of different things going on. That is not the main thing I wanted to cover. What I wanted to cover is I'm very interested in this. And I'm going to share the screen on this. Because this is the band that is performing at Illinois GameCon. And I'm very curious about this band because I want an interview. And I wrote them. I don't know if they wrote, you know, I gotta check out and see if they wrote back. If they did, hey, cool. But Ark Impulse. They actually are gonna be performing. And if you notice, they perform nothing but video game music. I never knew that. Right? I didn't even know this was a subculture. Right? So we're gonna hit something, hopefully. I'm gonna look out. Alright, that's enough. We ain't gonna do too much. You know how YouTube gets. Right? They are doing the punch out theme music, bro. Alright, Arc Impulse. Shout out to them.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:30

Check out, man. We done, man. Stop, stop. Illinois GameCon, we'll be there. Let's go ahead, man. Let's move on to the last but not least, man. I y'all know what time it is, man. And yo, how did this, yo, how did they get this behind here? You see my choose your fate? What happened? Hold on. Something must have happened. Something else is on in the back. What is dream? What is going on, bro? What is that? Hold on. That's actually. I'm not looking at that. Oh, you know what? I bet I know. It's probably on the restream side. There we go. Bada boom, bada bing. That's my bad. Look at that. The camera even better now. Damn, you said great quality, and it was it was bad. I actually had an overlay or something that was messing it up. Damn. That's a pretty good camera. I'm gonna say so myself. Y'all know what time it is. It's time for choose your b. This is a segment where we give you two tough head-to-head choices, and you must choose one. You cannot be a bitch and pick both. You must pick one. You have to stick to your guns and prove the reasoning of why you picked your choice. You do not get to say I picked that one. I just do. It don't work like that. You must destroy the other choice at all costs. So without further ado, let's go ahead and get to the first. Choose your fate. What do we got? Oh, okay. Now, for the for everyone that's vertical right now, I'm going to help you out. Because you don't see the entire screen. So let's try. Nope, not this. Let's see if we can get you guys straightened out here. How can we do that? Uh maybe we can do this. No, that's not gonna work. You guys maybe SOL. No, you're not SOL. Hold on. I'm gonna get you vertical viewers. Let's change it to this. And you know what? That's okay. It does give you. I don't like that. It works out for the vertical viewers. Let's see this. See, that's not good for the vertical viewers. What about this? That's better for the vertical viewers. And it works. We should be able to see everything. Let's go with that for now. We'll try it out. We'll see how this works, okay? Because you can see everything. I'm on the side. I don't know how I like that. See, I like the full screen feel. Right? But we'll go ahead. We'll we'll play with it. Alright. Which are tougher to beat? Left for Dead zombies or Dying Light zombies? This is a tough one, but I think it's Left 4 Dead zombies. Left for Dead Zombies come by the hundreds. It is no stopping them. Dying Light, I know it's a lot of zombies, and the way they move, they take a lot of hits. Have you played hard mode and all that stuff? But I'm sorry, Left 4 Dead zombies are infamous for taking you out. They're infamous for you not moving ahead and getting destroyed. Left for Dead, you better keep moving and get to the end, or zombies will win. It is one of those games where you can have four guys who are great at the game and still lose because the the amount of zombies are overwhelming. So I just have to say, regardless of how tough dying light zombies are, left for dead zombies, you then you forgot you got the tank, right? You got the what is it, the boomer. I think it is. You got the other. So you got you got different zombies. I think this is an easy choice. I think it's Left 4 Dead Zombies final answer for me. Alright. Now, I'm not gonna lie, a little biased. I love Left for Dead. Dying Light, I haven't played much. That's why, right? I've seen the zombies, I haven't experienced the zombies. Left for Dead, I experienced the zombies. But I had to say that at the end. Okay, let's go ahead and get to the chat. Devin, I go for dying light. I played a lot a lot of Left 4 Dead too. All those zombies are like feathers. Now that's one thing that's true, but then when you get the zombies coming with the tank, mixed with the thing, what's the thing that grab you up? Mixed with the uh thing that explodes at the moment, mixed with all of it, then it gets a little tougher, you know what I'm saying? But I feel you. Let me take off the caption too. I forget I got the caption for Illinois Game Con. My phone. There we go. So, but I'm with you though. I'm not mad at anybody that picked Dying Light. I think this is actually a very tough choice. And people who pick Dying Light, I actually think I'm going to be in a minority for this one. I'm gonna be honest. I think I will be in a minority. I think most people probably will pick Dying Light, but I think Left for Dead Zombies, man, it they are they are something else, man. It's like War of the Worlds. You know what I'm saying? When it comes to them. Alright? I'm just saying, that's my answer. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Okay, let's see what this one is. Okay. Which was more exciting? And I might vertical viewers, y'all might have to get it. Because I ain't liking this. I'm gonna be honest. I just ain't liking it. I ain't liking it, vertical viewers. Okay. So y'all just gonna have to see this. Y'all just gonna have to deal with this one. Okay? Y'all just gonna have to deal with it. I can't switch it up. I don't know how to change it, nothing. Alright? So which was more exciting to experience? Blockbuster video game section or Toys R Us video game ow. So, young Bucks, I need y'all to step to the side and let Umk tell you what it was. Y'all, this one is a tough one because both of these were very popular and very exciting to walk through as a kid. But I think there is only one right answer. Blockbuster video game section. Multiple reasons. Oh, let me loop the video. Didn't loop the video. That's my bad. That's my bad. Blockbuster video because one, you had a higher percentage of leave-in with the game. Mama and daddy was more than likely to rent you a game versus pay for a game. For those who do not know, some of those prices $39.99, $49.99 back then, and you're still seeing those same prices today on some games. So that just shows you prices in gaming were expensive back then. So, as good as the Toys R Us aisle was in the video game for showing all the games, it also had that TV at the top, right? And it had the little controller down there. You play the game, you're looking like this. Every kid broke their neck trying to play at Toys R Us like this. Man, it was so much fun. Oh man, I love this. Like it was an amazing moment. Toys R Us looked better. It looked better because Toys R Us, you had the glass, you had the, and that was when they had instruction booklets, right? But I just feel like Blockbuster was an experience. You were able to grab the game, get the game, go home with the game. You can get two games, three games. You could you could splurge. You could feel like you could feel like a bill a billionaire, man. Coming out of there. That's just me. That's just me. But let's go to the chat. Let's see what I got. Steve says, I already know, man. I knew I was gonna be in a minority in this, bro. They don't understand. I know, man. I used to be in that Toys R Us section too, dog. It was fire. I played Mario 64 for the first time at Toys R Us, and I remember the aisle was packed. People were standing around waiting to play. Toys R Us was the spot. Then, if you didn't like the video game aisle, you can go down by the bike aisle. You can ride bikes. Remember the action figures. There were G.I. Joes and all them. Super soakers and all man. Devin, Toys R Us. I knew I was gonna be alone on this one. Yeah, it's my bad. I mean, I picked Blockbuster. I played, I thought it was more exciting. You know what I'm saying? As a kid, you could accidentally slip up on a Blockbuster car, right? Oh, it's a Blockbuster card on the floor. Oh, looks like I'm renting 17 games today. And then Blockbuster goes, he can't go over five. Damn it! I tried to scheme the system. This is a tough choice, but I feel y'all. We don't had a blockbuster. Okay, I feel you. If you didn't have a blockbuster by you, there that's another story. Blockbuster and Toys Rust. Toys are Rush was a lot further. That was another thing, too, for me. So maybe that could be. It could be a proximity thing. Nonetheless, that was, you know, that was a tough one. Let's go to the third one, man. Because that was tough. That was tough. That actually was one that I had to think on. Woo. Which is easier to survive in. Rapture from Bioshock? Or the USG Ishimura from Dead Space. I don't even know if I pronounced that correct. Because I didn't even know what the hell that was named in Dead Space. I just know this is an easy answer. I don't even think this is tough. I think this is a no-brainer. I think if you pick the other one, you're crazy. Rapture! Of course, Rapture is easier to survive in. Rapture, at least I can go hide in a corner, just come out when I need some food, stay close to a vending machine. All I gotta do is listen for when Big Daddy comes around. I go around a corner. You know what I'm saying? That's it. That's all I gotta do. You know what I'm saying? Stay to myself. I can get a room and lock myself in that room and have some food and everything in Rapture. I'm good. On the USG is a murder, them things popping out the ceiling, popping out the ground out of vents. You're not safe nowhere. You're in the middle of space in a spaceship. Bro, ain't nothing scarier. I would rather be underwater feeling like I'm not underwater than to be in a spaceship feeling claustrophobic, not knowing if I'm going to be food. Very easy choice. It is a lot easier to survive in rapture than it would be to survive on the USG. Period. Now let me get to the chat. Okay. Devin Bioshock. I agree, man. I don't even think it's close, man. Rapture. And for those who do not know, Rapture to me is one of the most beautiful worlds created in a video game. It's very hard to create a world and to create something new and to make it feel real. Very difficult. Bioshock to me, best game, single player, first person shooter of all time. That is me. I am one. I hope I'm not the only one with that. Underwater city, then in space. I agree. That's kind of how I am. Like underwater city first, space is the next thing. Like that's the next scariest. That's just kind of how it goes. So that I think we got I think I did good. Alright, I ain't mad. I think I did good on that one. Alright, let's go ahead and move on to the next one. I don't think that one was too bad. Alright, let's go. Hold on, what the heck is going on? Oh, I'm wondering why it's showing different ones. Okay, there we go. So woo! Okay. Under the sea. Oh, you a fool for that one. Oh, this is a tough one. Who wins in a battle? Pyramid Head from Silent Hill? Or Mr. X? Resident Evil 2. I'm going to try to take some things into account for this one. Mr. X is a super abnormal strength being. I don't think Pyramid Head is going to stand a chance with that. But from my understanding, Pyramid Head cannot die. At all. So for that fact alone, Pyramid Head wins. Can't die. If we're, hold on. Cut the loop on. I can't do it. So if Pyramid Head cannot die, my mind has to say, Pyramid Head has to win this battle. If we're talking about supernatural, right? If you want to X out the supernatural, cool. Go ahead and put Mr. X in there. Gotcha. But we talking to fight one to one, who they is to who they is. Pyramid Head. And big shout out to Peter, man. Peter, dab me up, Harry Knuckles and all, man. For the follow, man. We gotta dab my man up. Everybody, every time you follow us, share the content. Thank y'all, man. I appreciate y'all. Every we got multiple platforms who relive on multiple platforms. I'm going pyramid head. There is no way that Pyramid Head is going to lose this battle to Mr. X. Pyramid Head is going to get beat to a pulp for a long time. But as the demonic entity that Pyramid Head is, will be allowed to come back and will continue to fight. Mr. X will eventually become weaker and weaker after these fights, after he takes a couple hits. And eventually, Pyramid Head will win. That is my answer. What do y'all think? I'm curious to know. Alright. So that Piercehead gets me. Mr. X is smarter, though. I ain't gonna lie. You know, every bone in me wants to pick Mr. X. Like, like I ain't gonna lie, it was hard for me to answer that one with a heart. Okay? And versus the mind. Like I was really struggling. I wasn't just going Mr. X. Come on, Mr. X is beating the hell out of Pyramid Head. But if Pyramid Head can't die, and somebody can correct me on that if I'm wrong, but if Pyramid Head can't die, Pyramid Head is strong, too. We ain't gonna act like Pyramid Head or Weakland, but Mr. X is just a beast. Alright, we ain't gonna underestimate Mr. Beast. Uh Mr. Beast. Wow, let's move on to the next one, man. That's how you know Mr. Beast's name be getting called out on accident. He got too much shit going on. You need to stop. Tasty. This is very easy. I shouldn't even have to read this for everybody to have their answer. Y'all should have your answers already to this. Which is a better buying experience? Steam digital storefront or GameStop. GameStop. Very easy. It is nothing better, and I'm going to challenge y'all. Better than going to an actual store, seeing your game. Back in the day, we used to be able to demo our game, right? We used to be able to learn about the game from the person there. And we used to have comparison games. We also would know about games coming out in the future to know if we need to buy a game currently. There's a lot of things that do not get talked about in the experience of buying physical media. It doesn't get discussed. Let me go ahead and loop the video. That was my bad. And this is one of those things that don't get discussed. I agree. I can tell you if I'm at Steam, right? And it hits midnight, I don't even have to move a muscle. I've already purchased a game, it's already set to auto-download or it has pre-downloaded. And I literally just hit play the moment it hits midnight. That is a beautiful thing when you want to game right away. But for those who just want to go and purchase a game, I think it's much better to go to a game stop than to go to Steam Digital Game Store and to go through the search and go, hey, what's a better one? When you're searching through Steam, it's difficult. It's not the same search. You're just gonna have the top games, and that's that. You need to know about the game on Steam. So I think searching is just different. Now, if you want to talk about pricing, yeah, being able to play a game at midnight, you lose your game, you still got it, you still got like yo. I ain't gonna lie, I'm a PC gamer now. I got more Steam games and have purchased more Steam games, and I have actual physical games. I am part of the problem, I am part of the community going to shit. I will admit it, okay? But the reality is I still miss going into GameStop and purchasing my games. It's just now you get better deals digitally now. So, like, what's the point almost? They're they're pushing you to digital. Only thing is to keep your media. So, let me go ahead and get to the chat. GameStop with no line. I ain't gonna lie, that's a problem with GameStop too. If GameStop got a line, you know, GameStop spend the time, right? Unless they just, you know, some of these GameStop folks they don't know nothing about the games, man. They just ring you up and be like, okay, yeah, you know, we got a discount. Do you want to purchase a uh game, you know, Game Informer subscription? And then well, Game Informer's dead. What do you do now, GameStop? Like, I honestly, because you don't have game game informer died, right? Like, what is the deal? I think you should just spend everything on bring in stuff, and we'll buy it from you, and you just become a new buy and sell business. You partner with eBay, all right, and then you you expand GameStop. I think that is your best thing, eat in and lean into retro gaming, right? Start leaning to Ambernik devices and all those things. Like, you could totally pivot and be fine, GameStop. I just think you're stupid by going the way you're going, like, you are so dumb. GameStop, I just have to give a rant for a couple seconds. The way you are going is so stupid, and you will do nothing but go down. You have done nothing new. There is nothing you're doing that I have liked. I mean, you don't even really throw tournaments for games. What do you do? Local mom and pops do way better than you do. All you have to do is a GameStop. If you're a manager of a GameStop, throw a local tournament, charge a hundred dollars for the winner. People will show up. Okay? Like you can do many different things. Why don't the CEO just speak with eBay, right? And link up. Why don't y'all do a merger? Better yet, why don't you just speak to Ambernik and other places and come up with a deal where they can get their devices in there? People who want to play retro games, which is a huge field right now, they can lean into that. They can go into a GameStop versus having to go online to buy my Ambernik, right? Like these are things you can lean into. People don't want to have to order their devices from overseas. They would love to get it right here, and you could be the staple front for that. But you're not going to do it. You're going to do nothing. That's what you're doing. So, nonetheless, that's my rant. Uh, and that is choose. Yo! Hey, y'all, we killed it. And I will say, this fire show, we will be clipping. Um, for the podcast listeners out there, I want to have this episode up by tomorrow. So I want you to tune in and listen, okay, for the new podcast episode. Also, for all those on different platforms, I'm going to explain my plan for YouTube. We have a lot of videos posted already, but our goal is to bring more long form content. When it comes to short clips, we have that covered for all platforms. So, any platform you don't have to worry. We got clips for you. That is one thing. But YouTube, we are doing a lot of long form content for YouTubers. For Facebook, Facebook is now allowing longer videos, so our videos can now be uploaded to Facebook as well. We're print we're planning on bringing all our videos to Facebook in segments, so it won't be the whole entire show. We'll be doing each segment. We'll bring those to Facebook as far as Twitch. Twitch, we have a lot of games that we're going to be playing live. There is one game that I'm being urged to play, right? So we have to play that.
