[00:00:00] Speaker A: Hello and welcome to the Yapov Podcast. We're here in Media Res as we try to figure out the word all I right now have. I'm on my second guess. I have three letters correct. Sam is with me. Joe is with me. Perez is away on assignment. We're back. It's been a while. [00:00:21] Speaker B: I don't think this is a word. I think we're. I think they make it. I think they're making it up right now because I am lost. [00:00:28] Speaker A: I'm trying. I'm trying to get it in three. All right, so let's hold our horses. [00:00:35] Speaker C: Can I look at your screens now that I finished, or. [00:00:37] Speaker B: Yeah, you can look at mine if you want. [00:00:39] Speaker A: Can you. If you click on my name. [00:00:40] Speaker C: No, it's not letting me. [00:00:42] Speaker B: Oh, never mind. [00:00:43] Speaker A: Here, then. [00:00:43] Speaker B: I. Yeah, I got two. I got two letters. I'm in trouble. [00:00:46] Speaker A: I got three letters, but I can't think of a word. [00:00:49] Speaker B: I will. Okay, how about this? How about this? I will trade you letter three if you give me letter two because Sam already won. [00:00:59] Speaker A: No, I can tie Sam. I can tie Sam. [00:01:03] Speaker B: There's time. [00:01:06] Speaker A: It's not about time. It's about guesses. Unless Sam says it's about time because I'm sitting here mulling over all my. [00:01:16] Speaker B: Because I am not good at wordle. So I'm willing. I'm willing to concede last place. If you give me letter two, I will give you letter three. [00:01:24] Speaker A: Hold on. What does Sam say? Is it. Is the time trial important here, Sam? [00:01:29] Speaker C: No, no. I feel like it's. [00:01:31] Speaker A: It's in guesses, but it. [00:01:33] Speaker B: But it was also impressive that you. One, you joined after us because you're fixing classic save. [00:01:41] Speaker C: Hates me. [00:01:42] Speaker B: And then you still finished it significantly before we. [00:01:45] Speaker A: I hit. Hit record and save Sam's. Sam does not enjoy discord. [00:01:51] Speaker C: Yeah, no, I enjoy discord. I think discord just hates me personally. [00:01:55] Speaker A: Yeah, well, discord doesn't enjoy anything that goes on. I can't think of a word that has these combinations of letters. [00:02:05] Speaker B: That's what I'm trying. That's why. That's why we need to work as a collective. That's what you're all about, Ted. [00:02:11] Speaker C: This is going to be an elite listen for the audio only subscribers. [00:02:15] Speaker A: I'm not even capturing the screen anyways. So, like, even if you're watching on video, you're getting nothing. [00:02:22] Speaker B: We can't even use, like, our audio C. Oh, I have this letter and this letter because Ted won't work together. [00:02:29] Speaker A: I'm weird. That's. I'm not working together. [00:02:32] Speaker B: Crazy. [00:02:33] Speaker A: I can't. I. If I wanted to, I could enter a word and we could then share, but that word already contained a letter I used, so I can't even do that. [00:02:45] Speaker B: I bet you're in trouble then. You're. [00:02:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:52] Speaker B: Okay, because I know you have the second letter, right? [00:02:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:58] Speaker B: And mine is misplaced. We can acknowledge that that letter is not an L because you have it. Correct. So I cannot possibly think of any five letter word where I can include an L at this point. That's not the second spot. It's got to be first or fifth spot. [00:03:20] Speaker A: I could tell. Hey, you know, I'm fine. We'll do this. I could tell you that L is in the first spot. [00:03:27] Speaker B: That. See, that's what. It doesn't help me at all because that's what I've imagined this entire time. [00:03:32] Speaker A: Okay, I didn't think it ended in sl, so. All right. [00:03:43] Speaker B: Larry can't be Larry. Laser. Can't be Laser. [00:03:48] Speaker A: Can't be Laser. [00:03:49] Speaker C: They don't. They don't usually do proper nouns in the world. [00:03:52] Speaker A: Yeah, Laser. Well, Larry. Well, laser's not a proper noun. One Larry. Oh, Larry's the problem. Okay. [00:04:03] Speaker B: I knew what Sam was talking about. Shout out Larry. [00:04:09] Speaker A: Wait, no, it can't be. [00:04:12] Speaker B: Ted, let me. [00:04:13] Speaker A: I know what it is. I know what it is. [00:04:16] Speaker B: Let's see. Let's see. [00:04:19] Speaker A: I sign one. Hey, you got it every year. [00:04:22] Speaker B: Okay, Help me. All right. Help me out. Help me out. [00:04:23] Speaker A: I gave you my hint. I sign one of these every year. [00:04:28] Speaker B: Autograph. It's not five letters. [00:04:30] Speaker A: Well, you know, consider that I pay rent. You should have signed one of these when you moved. [00:04:40] Speaker B: Oh. [00:04:43] Speaker A: The word was Lisa, everyone, welcome to the app. [00:04:45] Speaker B: How did you get that so quickly? Sam? What? So what was your starting word? What was your starting word? [00:04:52] Speaker C: It's the same word I always use when I play wordle. It's steer, S, T, E, A, R. [00:04:58] Speaker B: Oh, because you got the. You got a little bit of wrist. [00:05:01] Speaker C: From, you know, S, the E, the A. I tried phase next. So I got the ase, and I. The only thing I could think of first was lease. And then. Then we were done. What are our congrats to all the. The listeners? [00:05:19] Speaker A: I started with experiences, then did tense. And then since I didn't have the first letter, I just did not know what. I could not think of another word that didn't have an N in the middle. [00:05:32] Speaker B: I did. I did the audio classic and only had a. And I was. I was cooked after that because I had nowhere to leave. [00:05:39] Speaker A: Anyways, welcome. I'm so glad we did such a good audio portion that everyone can be a part of. That's the. That's the love of the app off podcast. Just very. It's so hot in my apartment. I am miserable right now. [00:05:57] Speaker B: How hot is it? [00:05:58] Speaker A: I don't know because my old AC that got recalled would tell me my. The internal temperature of my apartment. But since I had to get rid of that hunk of junk, it's probably whatever it is outside, maybe 3 degrees more. [00:06:18] Speaker B: That's not ideal. [00:06:19] Speaker A: Plus, also, like, my computer's on, my headphones on. All the heat is tra. I have so much hair. Bad weekend. Bad weekend. Yeah. [00:06:30] Speaker B: All right, so my question. When you. When you're watching Wheel of Fortune, that's not. [00:06:36] Speaker A: Well, that's not happening. [00:06:38] Speaker B: Well, you should, because it slaps. Anyway, when you're watching Wheel of Fortune, how bad do you judge the people in the final round when they choose the worst combination of letters for their hints in human history? [00:06:54] Speaker A: Isn't maybe I'm have miswatched a video. Isn't it solved what letters to pick at that junction? [00:07:02] Speaker B: That's. That's what I'm saying. And they choose like. [00:07:07] Speaker C: You for some reason. [00:07:09] Speaker A: Yeah. I assume they're picking them because they think in their mind and like, maybe there's a pressure stress aspect to it that they. In their mind, they're like, oh, if I say like, W and it's right, I mean, like, what, like, what words could it be? So they think they have to take this gamble. That's what I would be thinking if it were me is like, if I guess W and it's there. Wow. What a guess by me. [00:07:43] Speaker B: Yeah. But, like, clearly, from some of the other answers you see on. On the show, I don't think they're thinking that far in advance. [00:07:50] Speaker A: I don't think they're bringing God's our best and brightest. I definitely don't think they're being guided by God's light. I think is a lot of the problem. [00:08:05] Speaker B: All I'm saying is there's either a Family Feud person or a Jeopardy Person. And it. Whichever one you are, determines a lot about who you are as a person. And as you can all guess, I'm not a Jeopardy. Person. I'm a Family Feud person. I would anticipate the two of you are probably Jeopardy. People. Perez and I, we're spinning the wheel, baby. I'm like, we're going. We're going bankrupt. [00:08:31] Speaker A: But, like, Family Feud doesn't have a Wheel you're confusing TV shows now. [00:08:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:08:38] Speaker B: You know what I mean. I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. First of all. First of all, we all. We're all aware. [00:08:46] Speaker C: We know he's a real person. [00:08:47] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I meant Wheel of Fortune. I'm such an idiot. But, you know, when we're talking about letters, there's no letters on Family Feud. Right. So we know. [00:08:55] Speaker A: Well, they're like when they flip the board and then they show me letters, and just so happens those letters form a word. [00:09:00] Speaker B: I guess there are letters in every aspect of life. You are corrected. But I do apologize. I think we all understood the context of what I was saying is Ted, as Ted likes to say, language is. The point of language is to be understood. [00:09:12] Speaker A: But like, you said the wrong. [00:09:13] Speaker B: I'm a Wheel. I did say. I did. I did. [00:09:16] Speaker A: I'm not a Jeopardy guy, but also, I'm not, like, a game show guy. [00:09:20] Speaker B: Why not? [00:09:22] Speaker A: Because I don't have cable. [00:09:23] Speaker B: Okay, but what about when you were, like, 11 years old? You weren't. Oh, that's a great point, Sam. [00:09:28] Speaker C: Jumping in here. Jeopardy's not on cable. You just need an antenna. [00:09:31] Speaker A: I don't have a tv. [00:09:35] Speaker C: Well, that's a. That's another issue. [00:09:36] Speaker B: Okay, but what about when you were 11 years old, when you had access to a television? [00:09:41] Speaker A: I was watching either, bro. I was watching Power Rangers and Dragon Ball Z in Spanish. [00:09:47] Speaker B: You're. You're missing out. [00:09:49] Speaker A: Yeah, I. I was not missing out. [00:09:51] Speaker C: Classic for back. [00:09:52] Speaker A: I was. What? I was watching Dragon Ball Z in Spanish, having the time of my life not understanding a single word. [00:09:59] Speaker B: You just. You could have been learning about persons, places, or things. [00:10:03] Speaker A: Also, yeah, this a brother. That's called school and really did not like school. And if you think I'm watching a TV show that's, like, school, that's not gonna. [00:10:11] Speaker B: Okay, okay, but what if your teacher was Pat Sajak? Like, maybe you would have appreciated school a little more. [00:10:17] Speaker A: No, I would have been like, what if you're. [00:10:19] Speaker B: What if your principal was. Was Vanna White? [00:10:23] Speaker A: I would have meant nothing to me. [00:10:25] Speaker B: I thought that would have been cool. [00:10:29] Speaker C: I'm very much a Jeopardy. Person, but I'm also, like, as the both of you know, like, a trivia person. Like, in general. Like, on Wednesday, I got invited out to bar trivia by some friends, and I was under the assumption it was going to be, like, like, really easy. I'm still like. Like, we won, but I'm still, like, kicking myself over, like, a question that I missed, like, five days later. [00:10:57] Speaker A: You forgot the Chinese invented gunpowder, and now you wish there was a construction worker that said, I'll never forgive the Chinese. [00:11:03] Speaker C: Right. I didn't know what the tallest. No, but also, like, the. The interesting thing about this place is, like, you have to answer everything, like, in some app on your phone, which I think, like, totally violates the spirit of bar trivia, which should be, like, you can't use your phone because, you know, people. [00:11:21] Speaker A: I did used to go to one that did enter it in, and we. I was just like, this is weird. [00:11:26] Speaker C: But the one thing I did like is that after each answer, it would show you, like, how many teams got it right and wrong. And there was one answer where I was the only person in the bar who knew the answer because none of my teammates did either. And we got it right. And I was like, wow, I am the single smartest person in this bar right now. About this one question. And it made me feel so good about myself. [00:11:49] Speaker A: What was the question? [00:11:50] Speaker C: And then let's see if. [00:11:51] Speaker B: What was the question? Let's see if we're just as smart, which I've already proved. [00:11:55] Speaker C: It's essentially. [00:11:56] Speaker A: No, I'm not gonna get it. [00:11:58] Speaker C: It's essentially. What was the name of the first dog in space? [00:12:03] Speaker B: Is it Cosmo? [00:12:04] Speaker C: It was not. It was not Cosmo. [00:12:06] Speaker A: I want to say, like, wasn't there technically another dog before Laika? [00:12:11] Speaker C: No, no, it was no, Ted, you were right. [00:12:13] Speaker A: Okay? [00:12:14] Speaker C: You and I would have dominated this trivia, just the two of us, but obviously. [00:12:20] Speaker A: But because, like, I would have said Leica because I wouldn't think. Couldn't think of another dog name. But I knew that was also. [00:12:27] Speaker C: That was, like, the only thing I could think of. And I was like, I'm 90 sure this is right. But maybe there was another dog. [00:12:32] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly how I was feeling. [00:12:35] Speaker B: I didn't even know who, like, it was. I'm not familiar with their game. [00:12:39] Speaker A: They made Paranormal Cor. [00:12:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I know that. Like, I like. I like that one. Yeah. The. Was it that Kubo. No, it wasn't. It was Kubo. Right? That was also them. [00:12:52] Speaker A: I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways, let's point of order. We're doing a little catch up episode. It's been, like, five weeks since the last app. I was away on a. [00:13:06] Speaker B: Do I still have to have wordle open? Can I close this? [00:13:08] Speaker A: You can close. We can all close. [00:13:10] Speaker C: I think the wordle portion of the podcast is ended. [00:13:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know how to close Wordle how do I, how do you. [00:13:15] Speaker B: Close this leave activity? There you go. Perfect. [00:13:20] Speaker A: It's been five weeks. I was away on a three week vacation. Sam was away on work for two weeks. But like one of those weeks I was also already gone. We couldn't figure something out last week because only Sam responded. Yeah, just saying it as it is. [00:13:36] Speaker B: Hold on, hold on. I'm actually, I'm going through the text right now. [00:13:40] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:13:41] Speaker B: I'm going through the text right now. [00:13:42] Speaker A: You're going to find out that you didn't respond. [00:13:45] Speaker B: We're going to have to scroll through King of the Hill Evangelion to get there. [00:13:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:51] Speaker B: To see. Let's see. Okay. Wednesday, May 28, U.S. sam said. Okay, you know what? In retrospect, you are correct. Was the only person. [00:14:06] Speaker C: Also to be fair, also to be fair, this was originally gonna be the whole squad. And then Perez had a chilling change. [00:14:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:15] Speaker C: Put on by the weather. [00:14:18] Speaker B: That's on me. I apologize. [00:14:20] Speaker A: It's fine. It is what it is. So the, the draft will be next episode and the results of the previous. No, let's just. I'd rather do the previous draft results now since Brezz is in here and I don't get in trouble. [00:14:34] Speaker B: That's true. That's a good point. Yeah. Well, while dad is away, we can play. [00:14:38] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. So let me wait, is Perez the dad of Yapov? [00:14:43] Speaker C: I assumed it was Ted. [00:14:44] Speaker A: I. [00:14:44] Speaker B: With some of his, with some of his answers in, in these, these very big dad energy. [00:14:52] Speaker A: Let's share the screen. [00:14:53] Speaker B: You think the not. You think the not father of the podcast would choose Borat first round? [00:14:59] Speaker A: He didn't choose Bo. Sam chose Borat. My dad probably would have picked Bott. What? [00:15:08] Speaker B: Wait, why did he choose first round? What was it? I forget. [00:15:11] Speaker A: He picked. Shut up. Shut up. That's. We have to get to the reveal. I'm sharing the responses to make sure there's no funny business going on. [00:15:24] Speaker B: Let me see. [00:15:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm not. [00:15:27] Speaker B: Watch back. [00:15:30] Speaker A: He. I think he does. I don't know if you listened to the baseball one, but yes, as Sam alluded to with 44 of the votes, unfortunately, the. The rain continues. I. I've won with Sam in second place and Joe and John getting 11% of the votes. [00:15:54] Speaker B: Better decom one person, right? We have probably one person. [00:15:58] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I think it's. I, I went. I can go through individual responses and I've seen. You got. It was you. We have nine. So like I think ever. You got two. Sam got probably four and I got the rest. [00:16:12] Speaker B: Okay. [00:16:12] Speaker C: That. [00:16:12] Speaker A: That math isn't mathing because it's nine votes, but whatever. [00:16:16] Speaker C: We need ranked choice voting. [00:16:17] Speaker A: No, we don't. [00:16:18] Speaker B: Yeah. As you know, popular vote means nothing in this country. [00:16:22] Speaker C: So I feel like. [00:16:25] Speaker A: So we need to. [00:16:25] Speaker B: We need to make it in our caucus. If Perez and I put our caucus behind. [00:16:29] Speaker A: No, no, no, no. [00:16:31] Speaker B: No initiative. [00:16:33] Speaker A: No, no. [00:16:35] Speaker C: The equivalent of the don't rank Cuomo thing is I'm do going out in full force for the next draft. [00:16:41] Speaker A: I'm saying this right now. If we brought this up to John, John would literally. He'd rather be. I'd rather lose than endorse any of you too. I feel that in my heart of hearts. Better decom. Smart house one. Get own. Joe, what's the most important factor in voting draft style? That I win, baby. I like collusion. Who said that? That's not helping my case. [00:17:12] Speaker B: Oh, these were. Write in. [00:17:14] Speaker A: It's like you. Yeah. You get like a list. It's like. What's your. Like what. How. What was your thought? It's an exit poll. [00:17:21] Speaker C: Right. [00:17:22] Speaker A: And someone. [00:17:23] Speaker B: Draft style makes no sense because you asked why did you vote for someone? And they said, I enjoyed the format. But we all. [00:17:30] Speaker A: No, no, no. Like. Like, I'm assuming it's the one person's draft thought process. [00:17:37] Speaker C: Right. [00:17:37] Speaker A: Was what they preferred. I don't. We're not counting. I like collusion. That's bad answer. Which list was most exciting? I like sports. Ted. Not picking a pre Disney Pixar movie. We already know it was okay to pick a Disney Pixar movie. Extreme personal bias. Not Ted. [00:18:01] Speaker C: I think that one might have been me. I gotta be. [00:18:02] Speaker A: I will. I will be looking into who sent these. I have emails. Actions will be. I will be sending the net. Deploying the National Guard. [00:18:12] Speaker B: I'm like Paul Rudden. Yeah. Parks and Rec. Where he doesn't. He doesn't vote for himself because he doesn't think he's allowed to. [00:18:20] Speaker C: Right. [00:18:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Best pick. Fantasia Heavyweights. Goofy movie. Airborne. [00:18:28] Speaker C: I watched that movie. [00:18:29] Speaker A: Did you finally watch Heavyweights? [00:18:32] Speaker C: I did finally watch Heavyweights. It was after we saw Ethos. [00:18:35] Speaker A: Oh, okay. All right. We have to hold on. We gotta get into this. I need a meet. I need instant reaction to a month ago. [00:18:42] Speaker C: An instant reaction from something I saw in March. [00:18:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:47] Speaker C: No, it was. It was good. I. You know what? It was one of those things where I was like, I'm not quite sure how this sort of missed me in the 90s. [00:18:58] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:19:02] Speaker C: Because it was One of those things where, like, you know, you remember, like, oh, it's got all these famous people attached to it. But, like, I'd never seen it and never, like, considered watching it really until the draft. And then I didn't watch after the draft, but after we saw EFIs together, I was like, oh, shit, I still need to watch heavyweights. And I did, and I'm glad I did. [00:19:20] Speaker A: It's a good movie. Still, highly. [00:19:22] Speaker C: I wouldn't. I would not have voted for you to win the draft based off of it, but it was a good pick. [00:19:26] Speaker A: Well, I'm pretty sure I wrote heavyweights. [00:19:30] Speaker C: Okay. That was a good answer. [00:19:32] Speaker A: Could be Goofy movie holes or heavyweights. To be fair. Tron using Ditto as a fire Pokemon. Think someone's confusing Episodes and Airbus. I think that's. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Oh, you got. [00:19:54] Speaker B: No, like, just. I got the Fantasia hit. So even though I lost, I lost the. The battle. I won the war. [00:20:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Worst pick. Camp Rock with two. [00:20:03] Speaker B: This is the most irrelevant thing. Two compared to one is the most irrelevant. [00:20:08] Speaker A: Well, yeah, well, you know, you. [00:20:10] Speaker B: Well, also, somebody said Fantasia was the worst when someone else also voted for me because I put fantastic. [00:20:15] Speaker C: So, yeah, polarizing pick. That's all it means. [00:20:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:18] Speaker B: Classic America, you know, can't agree on anything. [00:20:22] Speaker A: Biggest omission. Hercules, Lilo and Stitch. Mulan. [00:20:26] Speaker B: Mulan and Mulan, obviously. [00:20:29] Speaker A: DuckTales and Zootopia. [00:20:31] Speaker B: My favorite movie. [00:20:32] Speaker A: The television shows definitely don't think Zootopia is. There's an omission here, but that's just me personally, so that is like. Yeah, go ahead. [00:20:43] Speaker B: I just wanted to say, I don't know if you guys remember when. When we had. We were. We were quote, unquote, with NHL and I was actually there with our MLB days and with the NHL team. We all made a Disney March Madness bracket for like, you know, and we put like the Renaissance era and we put all the Pixar movies together and like, we sort it like a real. That. I don't know if you guys remember this or not. It was. We had, like. It got pretty big. [00:21:10] Speaker A: I don't know if it was like, before time or not, but, like, I. [00:21:13] Speaker B: Did not know you did this in the NHL office. It went around and even on social media a little bit. So it's okay. It's fine. [00:21:21] Speaker A: Do you think I follow NHL on social media? That's not. [00:21:26] Speaker B: Regardless. One of the people in the comments was furious that the Iron Giant was not on the list. So then we responded to them saying the Iron Giant Is not a Disney film. And he said it slaps. Should be on there still. So he was out of it that we put the non Disney film in the top in the March Madness bracket for best Disney film of all time because it slaps. [00:21:57] Speaker A: I mean, he's not wrong that it slaps, but that's really funny. [00:22:04] Speaker B: I'll never forget that guy to this day. [00:22:07] Speaker A: All right, so that is the no. 1 picked Iron Giant in this draft. Unfortunately, that is the. The. The. The. The results. I won. Please don't type. Right. I like illusion in the comments. It'll hurt my feelings, and I don't think people. John will like that. [00:22:30] Speaker B: Yeah, John will be upset. [00:22:31] Speaker A: I mean, he is. He is the leader of the. The fixes in party. [00:22:37] Speaker C: Right? [00:22:38] Speaker B: I mean, which storm in Brooklyn as we speak right now. [00:22:43] Speaker A: I mean, I think he's calling a game in Brooklyn. I think that's why he's not here. Look, it's not. There's no collusion. I just. I'm just better than you guys. [00:22:55] Speaker B: Honestly. I have accepted it years ago. Now it's just back in my face. [00:23:01] Speaker A: I'm just two for two. And the only times I can win my. The podcast I've designed. Okay, maybe that's a bad way to describe it. [00:23:10] Speaker B: And also, don't put collusion. No, no collusion, though. [00:23:12] Speaker A: But also. Yeah, I don't like collusion. All right. I don't. I kind of. We're kind of figuring this out on the fly. [00:23:21] Speaker B: Ted, did you see a photo I posted the. [00:23:24] Speaker A: Of the cat? I'm not playing cow on Switch 2. [00:23:27] Speaker B: Oh, maybe it's like a segue into our next conversational time. [00:23:32] Speaker A: Yeah, Joe posted a picture of the cow from Mario Kart World. Switch 2 came out on Wednesday. [00:23:40] Speaker B: You have to do full context. What is cow doing? [00:23:44] Speaker A: He's doing some kind. He's doing a drift, which is a mechanic in Mario Kart, where you drift for long enough and you get a speed boost. [00:23:51] Speaker B: You're such a loser. He's doing the Akira pose with the motorcycle. Come on. [00:23:57] Speaker A: That's just what he looks like when he drifts. See, you don't play the game, so you don't get it because you don't. [00:24:01] Speaker C: Have those in Mario Kart before GTA 6. Unbelievable. [00:24:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I can play as the. A goomba as the coin purse from Super Mario 64 before I can play GTA 6. [00:24:16] Speaker B: Do we have to look at your victory for the rest of the show? Or can we talk about. Can we talk about Mario Kart? [00:24:21] Speaker A: We can talk about Mario Kart I did get my switch to came out Thursday. After I said Wednesday, I figured that was wrong because I was in office on Wednesday. I. I had planned on getting it via Costco because it was one per membership. And I was like, wow, that's good deal for me cuz I have that apparently. Unfortunately, Costco doesn't put up online listings until PST, which meant it would have been 3am for me to get mine. When I had woken up, it was already sold out. So I could not deal with that. So I'm, you know, going through my work day. I know I'm just sort of looking like at targets that might still have stock that I could get to after work. And then I'm seeing the, you know, the numbers go down and I'm like, I'm not gonna be able to get it. I see one target that's like 28 minute drive from me. So I'm like. And it just said in stock, no numbers or anything. I was like, it's fortunate for me. So I know between two and three I have like sort of free time to kind of do things. And I was working at home on Thursday and I was just left at 1:15 to go to get to Target. I was like, look, that's the only one that doesn't have like three in stock. So I don't risk showing up. And they don't have any showed up. Ask the guy, he goes, oh, is that the new one? So already after a great start, he walks in the back, gives it to me and I pay for my purchase and go home. And then I've been playing Mario Kart. I'm really bad at the game because there's a lot of like movement tech and stuff. I'm watching video, these videos of people do the craziest things I've ever seen in my life in a Mario Kart game. And I'm like, I will never be able to do that. [00:26:26] Speaker B: Go. Did you play a lot of Mario Kart 8 or. No, I don't remember. No, so it's, it's been a bit. You gotta, you gotta grease up the wheels. You gotta, you know, re. [00:26:37] Speaker A: Well, it's like there's like. Well there's grinding and wall writing now to access shortcuts, which was just not a part of Mario Kart in general, you know what I mean? Like now it's not just like have speed boost for shortcuts now. Like if you grind here tech jump to the left to wall ride and you get some height to then get on this Roof to grind some more. And then you tech jump again to ride on this wall. It's just like there. There's just things I can't. I'm not familiar with. [00:27:11] Speaker B: But have you considered that you. You live for the grind? Rise and grind. [00:27:16] Speaker A: I'm not part of rise and grind grind culture, and I'm not a. I'm not part of a grind culture. [00:27:24] Speaker C: Who's your main. [00:27:26] Speaker A: I'm playing Waluigi. I'm playing on this. The dinky little scooter. Because it's very funny. [00:27:32] Speaker B: I want to leave so bad. [00:27:33] Speaker A: Why? [00:27:34] Speaker C: I believe you mean. [00:27:39] Speaker A: I'm not picking cow. Everyone's picking cow. I gotta be true to myself and pick what I would have always picked. [00:27:47] Speaker B: But are you being true to yourself? Because your. Your argument is you're not picking cow because everyone's picking cow, therefore it's not true to yourself. [00:27:54] Speaker A: I wouldn't have picked the opposite, man. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be picking cow anyways. But, like, you're out here picking cow and like, you're telling me to pick out, and I'm not doing it. [00:28:08] Speaker B: First of all. No, there's no shout out pick out. I definitely. I gotta. I gotta show some respect to my. To my guy Yoshi. My day one at the womb, that was my homie. [00:28:19] Speaker A: That's crazy. He's. He's not in a womb. He's from an egg. [00:28:23] Speaker B: Oh, from me out the womb. [00:28:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, that's just one guy's opinion. Yoshi's. Okay. [00:28:33] Speaker C: It's also. It's also my opinion. Okay. It was Yoshi on N64. Yo. On N64 Mario Kart. And then I was usually Black Yoshi. Sometimes I'd be gold Yoshi on the Mario Kart 8. On the switch. [00:28:46] Speaker A: When I had a switch, I was. And I'm a toad fella on 64. Because I was like, it's funny that he's just a guy and everyone else is like, you know, like, people we know. And then like, I would. I think I would always just pick Waluigi anyways. And, like, with the little scooter, because, like, his head. His, like, knees go to, like, head. Yeah, it's very funny. That's why I pick it. But I'm trying to do 150cc races again. And even against computers, I'm like, just not winning. [00:29:21] Speaker B: They're tough. [00:29:22] Speaker A: It's. Well, it's like they know some of the grinding spots. And I'm like, this is crazy that I'm just dumber than a Fifth grader. [00:29:28] Speaker B: Well, as the. As the resident former world record holder of the time trials race in Baby park on Mario Kart 8. On the Wii. On the Wii U myself, it is killing me not to play Mario Kart right now because I have a bit of a conspiracy theorist in this context. Not in the others. Not in the, you know, Earth is flat, but in this sense. [00:29:51] Speaker A: And, and that. I'm not making the drafts. Obviously, you're on that. The right side of history. [00:29:58] Speaker B: Well, I so badly want to play Mario Kart. However, I know in my soul that they're gonna make, I'm hoping at least a Metroid switch too. So I have the whole console and the theme around for Metroid Prime 4. [00:30:12] Speaker A: You're not getting the Pokemon CA Switch. [00:30:15] Speaker B: And so, so that's. That's the other one is there's also the opportunity if they. If they make a Pokemon ZA1. [00:30:21] Speaker A: It already got announced. [00:30:23] Speaker C: What? [00:30:24] Speaker A: I'm pretty sure it got announced. [00:30:26] Speaker B: I. I saw fan made. [00:30:28] Speaker A: Oh, that's okay then. That's probably what I saw. [00:30:32] Speaker B: But I could be wrong. Listen, I'm not. I'm not as locked in on the Internet as I, you know, as I. [00:30:37] Speaker A: Like to pretend opening up. I'm opening. Okay. Yes. It's like I see concept at the end. [00:30:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:45] Speaker A: Okay, then. Sorry. I apologize. [00:30:47] Speaker B: So that's my conspiracy theory is that I'm gonna wait on Mario Kart world now to experience a cooler switch in like five months and just so you. [00:30:58] Speaker A: Can, you know, experience the tariffs making the switch to $800, you're gonna be paying more for it. See, that's just the problem. That's why I got it now. I'm not dealing with tariffs, but if. [00:31:13] Speaker B: It'S already in Target, it's already there. [00:31:16] Speaker A: But. But the. That's what I'm saying. That's why I got more. Yeah, they're gonna have to get more. And especially like when the Metroid prime one comes out, they're gonna have to get it and order it. [00:31:28] Speaker B: That's true. That's true. [00:31:30] Speaker A: Oh, I also. I actually. This was. Is actually the most important thing I should. We should have brought up on the podcast. Sam and I have seen Yap off officially sanctioned Yap off podcast. Most anticipated movie of 2025. We saw friendship on Memorial Day. [00:31:49] Speaker B: And. [00:31:49] Speaker A: I feel like that we gotta talk about it. I know there's zero percent chance you saw Joe. [00:31:55] Speaker B: Correct. [00:31:56] Speaker A: Because anytime. Because any. Anytime I tell you to watch, I think you should leave you like. Like Suplex. [00:32:02] Speaker B: I watched the one episode where the lady was upset when doing. He said Christmas came early, and she thought her Christmas present was going to be the printer. [00:32:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. [00:32:14] Speaker B: And that was it. That's the episode I watched, and he. [00:32:17] Speaker A: Didn'T watch any more since he hates. He hates our culture, Sam. He doesn't get us. [00:32:23] Speaker B: I thought it was a funny bit. [00:32:25] Speaker C: I. One of my friends, I was saying, oh, I saw this movie the other day. He's like, oh, is that the guy from that show that you like? Which I obviously immediately knew that he meant Tim Robinson, and I think you should leave. And I was like, yeah, I think if you like the show, you would really like the movie. If you hated the show, you probably would not enjoy the movie. And if you were indifferent, I think it's worth seeing. [00:32:51] Speaker A: It's way darker than a lot of. I think it's darker than you think going into it. That's what I. Oh, definitely. [00:32:58] Speaker B: Really? [00:32:59] Speaker A: Yes. [00:32:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:33:00] Speaker A: It is, like, a very interesting, like. I don't want to say take, but, like, depiction of, like, adult malehood, like, like, forming friendships and just how, like, it is a more difficult task to, like, do now. And so just watching Tim try to do it, I was like, I can see where he's coming from. I wouldn't do it, but I can see why he's doing this. [00:33:32] Speaker C: You're not a big sewer guy. [00:33:34] Speaker A: I'm not. I. Well, if a guy I had just met invited me to the sewers, I'd be like, I don't know if this is a cool guy, but, hey, his wife had an orgasm because of it. [00:33:47] Speaker C: So apparently we're dropping spoilers in here now. [00:33:51] Speaker B: Spoilers? Spoilers. Genuine spoiler question. Was the latest Marvel movie as fantastic as the trailer says? The truth, like, there's a new Marvel out. Supposed to be amazing. [00:34:09] Speaker A: I don't know if he. He hasn't seen it. He hadn't. Hasn't seen the Marvel movie. [00:34:13] Speaker B: Then why. Why would I even watch. Why would you set up Where's Chekhov's Gun to set up that the new Marvel is going to be amazing and not give us the payoff? [00:34:23] Speaker A: Well, because, like, there is a payoff to that joke, Joe. There is a payoff point. [00:34:29] Speaker C: It's funny that you mentioned Chekhov's gun because there actually is a Chekhov's gun in this movie. [00:34:33] Speaker A: Yes. [00:34:36] Speaker B: Nice. I didn't know. [00:34:38] Speaker C: So if you're a fan of literary techniques or screenwriting techniques, as we all are, there's also. [00:34:43] Speaker A: There's also foreshadowing with a certain road obstacle that, you know so if you. [00:34:51] Speaker C: It's a very well put together movie. [00:34:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:53] Speaker C: I don't have letterbox, but I would give it a high grade if I. [00:34:56] Speaker A: I gave it a four on letterbox instead. Connor Ome Malley shows up in 90 seconds of this movie and steals the show. [00:35:01] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Connor o' Malley like another. Another friend of the pod. Him and Scott F. Ross. [00:35:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:09] Speaker C: Connor o' Malley delivers the line. They got the loudest laugh reaction in the theater and he's off screen. [00:35:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:17] Speaker C: It's like, it's just like a throwaway line they probably added in ADR and. [00:35:21] Speaker A: It honestly killed it's so I like, I need to see it again because he keeps talking after that line, but I was laughing so hard at what he said because it's. You could make a whole boat out of Tim Robinson and Connor o' Malley yelling at each other and like, yeah, I'd watch that movie, you know, because that was like an episode of Detroiters too. Was those two just like getting into it? [00:35:49] Speaker C: You don't need your slipknot mask. [00:35:51] Speaker A: You don't need your. Don't hit your dresser. You've had that since you were a kid. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Because I've, you know, I said I've only seen the trailer like. So he, he and Paul Rudd are not already best friends at the start? Like, they're becoming friends. [00:36:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:07] Speaker C: Basically the plot is that there's a misdelivered package to Tim's house and he goes over to the house it's supposed to be at and it's this guy who just moved in to the neighborhood. It's Paul Rudd. And Paul Rudd plays like the new like the weatherman on the local news. And so Tim's like obsessed with him and they start hanging out and things ensue. So they don't know each other at the start of the movie. Whoops. [00:36:36] Speaker A: Yes, he is. Yeah. That's essentially what it is. We. I don't want to get. No more will be said. [00:36:42] Speaker B: Yeah. No more spoilers. You already spoiled no Marvel. [00:36:45] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, there is a payoff. He gets a. Has a specific brand of clothing he only gets his clothes from that's fit just right. And a 24 like made pants in that like it branded from that fake company that I could not buy. [00:37:02] Speaker B: Okay. [00:37:02] Speaker A: Because. Because it's just like supreme. [00:37:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:06] Speaker C: Right. [00:37:07] Speaker B: So now that you've seen the most anticipated film. [00:37:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:11] Speaker B: The Apple podcast was anticipated film 2025. If you were in Tim Robinson's camp, you're in his like crew. Yeah. What situational story would you Cover, like, what would you like to see him do next? He's made shows. [00:37:31] Speaker A: I think it'd be interesting if he made a TV show where he works at a chair company company. And here we go. I don't know anything else about the show. His next is a TV show, like scripted comedy show for hbo. I think it's just called the Chair Company from what I know. But like, I have not heard anything else since like that initial announcement from like a year ago or something. [00:37:58] Speaker B: I respect you guys commitment to him. Like I said the trailer. Funniest is I've not. I haven't since I've moved. I've not been to the movie theaters. I've not really. [00:38:07] Speaker A: You know, Cranston said movies are back. [00:38:11] Speaker B: Listen, Nicole. Nicole Kidman told me first. I didn't even need Cranston to tell me that. [00:38:16] Speaker A: So when she showed up. [00:38:17] Speaker B: I haven't even had pizza when she showed. I don't want to leave my apartment. Okay. [00:38:23] Speaker A: Why? Why? [00:38:24] Speaker B: Because like that. It's like two miles away. I don't have a car. [00:38:27] Speaker A: Oh, and what bum. [00:38:30] Speaker B: Have you ever gone. Have you ever done four months without pizza? [00:38:33] Speaker A: Yeah, you can't order pizza. [00:38:37] Speaker B: Eat eight slices. [00:38:39] Speaker A: It's called like. It's called meal planning, dude. [00:38:43] Speaker C: Right. [00:38:44] Speaker B: I'm meal prepping my pizza. [00:38:48] Speaker C: You get a whole pizza today. You have a couple slices. You get a slice for lunch. [00:38:52] Speaker B: Monday, yeah. [00:38:53] Speaker C: Another two slices for dinner. [00:38:55] Speaker B: And I chop it up and I put it in the. [00:38:57] Speaker A: Put it in a salad. Yeah, chop it up, put it with. Put it in with their rice and steamed broccoli. I don't. I don't see how the. You're thinking, this isn't a problem. It's just like. Just like put. Just get a pizza. You can get a small pizza. There are places to do personal pizzas. [00:39:18] Speaker C: All right, you gotta like get a bar pie or something. [00:39:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:23] Speaker C: Do they have those Rochester, New York? [00:39:26] Speaker B: Yeah. And basically Canada, probably, you know. You know, it was. It was 53 to 53 degrees and degrees and raining and gray skies on Monday in June, it was 53 degrees. [00:39:42] Speaker A: It was raining on Monday in the city, if it was raining during this week. Yeah, it rained yesterday. [00:39:49] Speaker B: We had. We had snow on April 18th. [00:39:53] Speaker A: I don't. Deleted. [00:39:54] Speaker B: I. [00:39:54] Speaker A: Well, I wasn't even here in April, so I don't know what that was like. [00:39:58] Speaker B: I'm just saying this isn't a. This is an adjustment. [00:40:02] Speaker A: Well, yeah, you're. You're so north. You're in Canada, basically. [00:40:07] Speaker B: I'm so close to Josh Allen. And he didn't even invite me to the wedding. [00:40:13] Speaker A: Well that he invited everyone from sinners that was the problem. [00:40:19] Speaker B: That was just. That was just a good show on his end to show that he was not affected by sinner's activities. [00:40:26] Speaker A: So the. I didn't see the movie but she gets her eaten. [00:40:31] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess that's what we were referring to said okay. [00:40:35] Speaker A: I didn't see the movie. I had to be sure. [00:40:37] Speaker B: I knew if you had to ask graphic detail also. [00:40:41] Speaker A: Okay, well you know maybe other people maybe viewer listen listeners didn't watch and they don't know what you're we're talking about so I had to you know paint them a word picture. [00:40:50] Speaker C: No actual nudity in the movie but there's a lot of. There's a lot of vampires or so. [00:40:57] Speaker B: Or so I've been told. [00:40:58] Speaker A: I've met. I missed the sinner's hype because I was away in another country. [00:41:03] Speaker B: Yeah. How have we not talked about this? You. You're kind of burying the lead with Wordle instead of your trip. [00:41:10] Speaker A: Well we. Sam wanted to play wordle so we played wordle. [00:41:13] Speaker C: I just was surprised that it was an option on discord. [00:41:16] Speaker A: Yes, I did go away to Japan there there were thoughts of we're going to be detained when we come came back. Didn't happen. [00:41:27] Speaker B: Shocker. [00:41:28] Speaker A: Yeah I was surprised considering everything of. Of of my family. You know if you want to ask questions about the trip go ahead but I'm not going to. I'll just say my Japanese was way more functional than I was anticipating. [00:41:45] Speaker B: So we have to ask where did you go? What did you do? That's not a premise to in the story. [00:41:52] Speaker A: Well I don't know what you want to know. [00:41:55] Speaker B: Where did you go? What did you do? You were there three weeks. [00:41:57] Speaker A: I went to Japan. Yes, within Japan, some restaurants I went to a theme park hotel I like I don't you need me to be more specific. [00:42:12] Speaker B: I'd prefer it. I'd appreciate it. [00:42:14] Speaker A: We did two stop we bookended our trip in Tokyo. We did a day trip to Nagano which I think was my favorite part of the trip which is where like the monkeys are that chill in the hot springs but obviously since it was a little warmer they were just out and about hanging out. I posted on social media pictures of the monkeys. They we were warned by our tour guide of don't feed the monkeys. Don't look at the monkeys by look at the monkeys. Don't make eye contact with the monkeys. Don't have paper plastic bags. They'll think you have food in it, the monkeys will go near you. So like just deal with it. Like they were just like hanging out on like the foot bridges like people are supposed to walk. I'm like, we're all just like trying to keep a foot distance as we walk around them. We went to Connors. We did two days in Kanazawa. We did a couple of like tours of like sort of the older villages there. There was one old village that was like the best I can describe it. We did like two old villages. Best I can describe it is like one was like Gettysburg Willie. Like Gettysburg. Like Pennsylvania where it's like it's preserved to be like sort of a museum. And then the other place was like, like, like what am I looking for? Amish country, Pennsylvania, where it's like, yeah, people just straight up live like this. The difference being they're using cars and like Internet and everything, whereas the Amish don't really. Then we went to Osaka for I think about a week. [00:44:03] Speaker B: I love those saka. I mean, I'm in now. [00:44:06] Speaker A: What'd you do? I loved Osaka too. I think that was my favorite. I, I really, I preferred to. That was my favorite. [00:44:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I agree completely. [00:44:14] Speaker A: The World Expo was there, so we did that. I had the Gundam had it had a whole like immersive experience that was like role playing. Like the World Expo which was like, I got to go. And then they had you know, the life size Gundam outside and I took pictures. My only regret in Osaka is that I didn't get to have okonomi yaki, which is like the savory pancake they have. But I didn't. Like. We went to Osaka Castle which is probably the only really touristy thing we did. We sort of did like a food tour in one of the like enclosed like, like. I don't want to say markets, but I guess it is a market, you know. Like Japan has a lot of like street markets that are, have enclosed areas. So they're not really malls. I don't wanna, I don't know. [00:45:09] Speaker B: I know you're talking about. Yeah, yeah, they have, they have roofs or other markets don't have. [00:45:14] Speaker A: They have roofs. But like that's still a street, still a functioning street. And it's more like just so people can be protected from the elements. We did a trip day in Naoshima, which is an island off of Uno. The island has like, it's essentially like, has like four museums. And then like a lot of the houses in the main town are also exhibits which is Interesting. And then we, like I said, finished in Tokyo again, where it was kind of more relaxing. I did two trips to Disney, one Disney C and one just Tokyo Disney. [00:45:58] Speaker B: Oh, I did. Oh, my God. I can't remember which one was which. The of the two Disney's, Tokyo's Disney. [00:46:07] Speaker A: Sea is, like, not so I. Disney sees the one that, like, is actually more popular. [00:46:20] Speaker B: Because it had, like, Finding Nemo ride, like, 20, 000 Leagues under the Sea. Like, it's a dead giveaway. [00:46:26] Speaker A: That's Disney. That's Disney. [00:46:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:46:30] Speaker A: Yeah. It's so interesting because Disney Sea or Tokyo Disney. Just both parks are the most. Most profitable Disney parks in the, like, all of. Out of all of them. [00:46:42] Speaker B: Oh. [00:46:42] Speaker A: Which is interesting because tickets are so cheap. Like, I don't know how much. Like, I would like, maybe 60, $70. Whereas, like, here, it's like you got to mortgage your house to just think about going on a trip to Disney World or land. [00:47:02] Speaker B: Right? Yeah. [00:47:04] Speaker A: And, you know, my sister. A lot of it, like, my sister and I were trying to figure out, like, what was making. And, like, I think that was part of it. Another part of it is, like, there aren't a ton of rides in the parks. It's way more like experiences where it's like, you can take photos. Like, we showed up at Disneyland right as it opened, walked in, and people were just, like, immediately sitting down for the parade, like, waiting, like, three hours for the parade. So it was definitely a difference of, like, what they went for the park for. Apparently Donald Duck was king or something. It was like the whole event was like, it's Donald Ducks. Go, go, Donald Kingdom or whatever. And I'm like, what the. He killed. The interesting thing is, like, they. So you know how you go to, like, in Disneyland and world, like, they have, like, the villains there to, like, do things with, and here in America, they don't. With villains in those parks, there is just no. No instance of, like, of someone as the character in the park. It is all the friend. Pe. Friendly people. [00:48:26] Speaker B: Oh, for the actors. For the. [00:48:28] Speaker A: The actors. [00:48:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:30] Speaker A: And even, like, merchandise, too. [00:48:32] Speaker C: Well, like, no Darth Vader stuff. [00:48:35] Speaker A: Yeah. It's just like, all the nice people, all the heroes. [00:48:39] Speaker B: I. Well, because I was gonna say in the Aladdin section, which I almost died because there's just no. There's no, you know, shading whatsoever. Like, you feel like you are in the Sahara in that moment. They have an original Aladdin story with a. I forget his name because he was a new guy. He's made up in Japan Of a, of a. Like what's the guy that calls the snakes out? Yeah, yeah. And he was like a snake charmer performer or whatever. And he was like trying to see steal the lamp. So he was a bad guy? [00:49:18] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Well, cool. [00:49:20] Speaker B: He was, he was, he was a homie though. He was homie. [00:49:22] Speaker A: It's also very funny cuz it's the most profitable Disney park that like Disney, the corporation doesn't make a ton of money from them because they've licensed the Disney trademark to the company in Japan. So they don't own the parks. Which is why I'm assuming, why it's so cheap and like it's very curated. [00:49:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I thought, I thought it was a good time. I was excited for your sir. I was, I was, I was expecting a little more photos. I was expecting. [00:49:52] Speaker A: You know, I'm not a photo guy. You should know. I know I'm not a photo guy. [00:49:58] Speaker B: I want you to change. [00:49:59] Speaker A: Took a. Took pictures of the monkeys. Took pictures of the Gundam. I took my sister. Took a picture of me in front of my new favorite cafe. Hold on, let me see if I can find that picture. Oh, here it is. Me in front of my new favorite cafe. Me. Me at home. [00:50:30] Speaker C: I thought you worked there. [00:50:31] Speaker A: Oh, you thought I worked though. Okay, I understand your confusion. [00:50:38] Speaker C: I thought the Moron Cafe was your own establishment. [00:50:40] Speaker A: No, unfortunately someone beat me to it, so I can only work there. Oh, so in Tokyo, in Disneysea, there is a like a very like old, like old New York part of it that's supposed to be like during, like, like the big immigration boom. And one of the cross streets was Broadway and Park Avenue. And my sister and I standing there for two seconds going, that doesn't exist. What else is there? Oh, no. Other photos immediately on social media, unfortunately. [00:51:23] Speaker B: I'm just happy you had fun. I was excited for your trip. [00:51:28] Speaker A: But yeah, I'm sorry I didn't take photos, Joe. I'm just. That's not. That's not the type of guy I am. Oh, wait here. I took a photo. I took one photo that I should share with you guys. I will say Detective Conan was everywhere. That little freak was everywhere. [00:51:50] Speaker C: Really? [00:51:51] Speaker A: Well, he was. He was having a movie coming out. Okay, so they were like advertising the of it. Hey, what if we met up at the human Centipede statue? [00:52:05] Speaker B: Oh my God. [00:52:08] Speaker C: Centipede in Disney? [00:52:09] Speaker A: No, this was. [00:52:10] Speaker C: They don't have that in America. [00:52:11] Speaker A: This. Not in Disney. It was just like, not my Disney. It was by my hotel when I was like, I was going to a convenience to get some food. And like it was right there and I was like, this is the long human ass eating statue. Don't know if it's a human centipede or a. Or an ass eating one. [00:52:33] Speaker B: Either way, it's interpretive. It's art. [00:52:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:39] Speaker B: How many times have you been to Japan? [00:52:41] Speaker A: This was my second time. [00:52:42] Speaker B: Second time. Okay. [00:52:44] Speaker A: So I didn't do Nara because we did that our first time. And I felt like you don't have to go back there if you already did it. Nara being the place where like all the deer, like the deer kind of like hang out. [00:52:59] Speaker B: People don't like when they bow to them. Right. [00:53:01] Speaker A: And you're not supposed. They're not supposed. You're not supposed to bow to them because if they, if they bow, they're gonna headbutt you. [00:53:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, you're also not supposed to feed the animals on zoo rides. And you see every car idiot still trying to feed all the giraffes. [00:53:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:18] Speaker B: Humanity is not good at listening. [00:53:20] Speaker A: Well, they're. They're fine with you feeding the deer in Nara as long as you're. [00:53:24] Speaker B: There's no S. There's no s in a poor amount of deer, Ted. [00:53:28] Speaker A: Huh? [00:53:29] Speaker B: There's no S in a plural amount. [00:53:31] Speaker A: Yeah. I just said deer. [00:53:33] Speaker B: You said deers. You literally run the tape. Run the tape. Sam. [00:53:40] Speaker C: I. We'll send a post. [00:53:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:45] Speaker B: We'Ll fix impost. You said dears insta be. [00:53:51] Speaker A: But someone at. [00:53:52] Speaker C: Someone at work has whatever. Something on their office door that just says I'm not going to fix it in post. And it's one of like the heads of post production. I'm like, but that's your. Your job. You must help me fix this in post. [00:54:11] Speaker B: I like it. [00:54:14] Speaker A: But. Yeah, we figured we didn't need to do Nara again since we've seen the deer. [00:54:23] Speaker B: Do you ever want to visit? I don't know what city it's in that has all the one piece statues. [00:54:29] Speaker A: I didn't know what city was it. And like, if I. If I. If was in the city, I would have done it, but I didn't think we were. [00:54:38] Speaker B: Go out of there. Yeah. Go out of your way for it. [00:54:40] Speaker A: Yeah. Where. Where are they? Oh, Kumamoto is apparently where it is. And I don't know exactly where that is. Oh, is that. Oh, it's all the way south. Yeah, we didn't go that south. It's all the way in Fukuoka, which is like the southern. [00:55:01] Speaker B: Yeah, that's where my, my friend went there for. He played In a tcg. A Pokemon event. [00:55:07] Speaker A: Because, yeah, the farthest south we ever went was Hiroshima, and that was our first time. [00:55:13] Speaker B: Okay. [00:55:18] Speaker A: Yes. We kind of. I really. If. My next trip, I really want to do Hokkaido, which is the northernmost. I want to do Hokkaido in the winter because they have, like, a snow festival and, like, skiing's a big thing up there. So that's what I'm worried about. [00:55:37] Speaker B: And we're invited this time. [00:55:40] Speaker A: I don't know if you. If we. If. When we get our. Get hey, everyone, like. And share. So we can set up a Patreon to. So we can do a winter trip to Sapporo. Yap off podcast style. [00:55:53] Speaker B: Imagine how much. How much value. [00:55:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:55:58] Speaker B: So. [00:55:58] Speaker A: Oh. So Sam, we are in Nagano and we're. We've done all our. Like, the tour is all done. And so we're driving the. The places. They're driving us back to the. To the train station. And then they stop at like, la. And she goes, this is a building that was built for the Winter Olympics. And I saw the Olympic rings and I said, I don't this. It was for the. The Winter Olympics in ago one where they. It was where the ice skating was, I think 98.

[00:56:58] Speaker B: That's why nobody's ever been a nerd professionally before. [00:57:02] Speaker A: I'm talking about Olympics. Nerd information. [00:57:06] Speaker B: No, I know. I'm saying, like, there are nerdy jobs. Like ask a librarian. That's a nerdy job. [00:57:11] Speaker A: That's a cool job. [00:57:12] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. It's a good. Good gig. [00:57:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:18] Speaker A: Oh, well, you know, before Eric Adams defunds all libraries of forever. [00:57:25] Speaker B: What? [00:57:26] Speaker C: That's why we got to get him out of here. [00:57:27] Speaker A: That's why we got to get him out of here. [00:57:29] Speaker B: What? I'm not familiar now. Now that I'm in New York State, I know it's not New York City. [00:57:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:57:34] Speaker B: What is going on? [00:57:35] Speaker A: Our bad library. [00:57:37] Speaker C: Our bad marriage wants to defund the libraries because cops need more money. [00:57:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:57:44] Speaker B: Also criminals reading books or something. I don't understand. [00:57:48] Speaker C: He. [00:57:49] Speaker A: We don't understand because it's. [00:57:50] Speaker C: No. No one understands he's a bad guy. [00:57:53] Speaker A: I keep saying he's no good. [00:57:55] Speaker B: He thought the Brooklyn Dodgers logo was the Red Sox. [00:57:58] Speaker A: Yes. Famously my favorite one. [00:58:01] Speaker B: We don't love Boston around here. Well, good thing it's an iconic Brooklyn team. [00:58:06] Speaker A: Oh man. I don't think you could see all the one piece statues in a day, Joe. [00:58:11] Speaker B: Are they not close? [00:58:12] Speaker A: I'm looking at the map. [00:58:14] Speaker B: No, you know me, I'm not walking that far. [00:58:18] Speaker A: So the Jinbei statue is fought like far from the Usopp one. And also. Which was. And the Frankie. [00:58:28] Speaker B: Well, I can. I can live in the usop. So that's. [00:58:31] Speaker A: Wow. We were, we were. We were talking. I was at a party on Saturday last week and my friend was just like, people don't get that Usopp's just a bum. [00:58:46] Speaker B: He sucks, dude. [00:58:47] Speaker A: It's just like people gotta admit that Usopp is just a bum and he's just never gonna do anything. [00:58:55] Speaker B: And like he also should be the first person to admit. You know what I mean? Once he admits it to himself, he might have a live a happier life, but he still thinks he's out here. Like he has the chance. He could, he could do something like. No, just put the fries in the bag. It was up like. [00:59:14] Speaker A: I kept saying that phrase on the trip and I like my family was giving me nothing. [00:59:21] Speaker B: It's so good. [00:59:22] Speaker A: I love that phrase. I say a lot. [00:59:24] Speaker B: It's so disrespectful. You gotta. [00:59:30] Speaker A: It's so. So I'm looking at the Google map of like where the one piece statues, Luffy statues, the only one that's like a naturalized point of interest on Google Maps was like all the other ones are just regular pins. Oh no, no they're not. You just have to zoom really far in to get it to populate. Yeah, I did not watch any American, like English. Okay, I'm sorry. I did. I watched one American movie on Japanese tv. [01:00:03] Speaker B: What was it? [01:00:04] Speaker A: It was Zodiac. And I gotta say. Yeah, it's crazy that it all happened that they just got all those people together to film them re recreating it all. All right, cool. [01:00:18] Speaker B: I come here saying I didn't understand it. [01:00:21] Speaker A: It's just that I made the joke saying it's crazy that it all happened. You're probably thinking, oh, the Zodiac killer stuff. Yeah, it's crazy that all happened. But in reality I'm talking that they just made a movie. [01:00:32] Speaker B: Oh, well, actually let's. Let's have an even more niche topic here and talk about watching the Milby in Japan as it is. [01:00:40] Speaker A: That's why. [01:00:41] Speaker B: That's why I. Existential experience. [01:00:44] Speaker A: That's why I just texted you guys like that was not going to be brought up here. [01:00:48] Speaker B: Cuz I was like, audience is so niche already. It doesn't matter. [01:00:52] Speaker A: So when we at MLB we had to do something called the Mob International or Milby. It was sent so they would just have B roll to play of games. But if it was like a Japanese player, you would have to do like every at bat, every pitch. Which if it's Ohtani when he does both is a nightmare. [01:01:17] Speaker B: Yep. [01:01:18] Speaker A: Because yeah, I was just like watching. So obviously you know the games are happening in the mornings so they rebroadcast them later in the day with a Japanese call sometimes and sometimes they'll just like in between innings they'll just show like the Japanese players and I think Sugano is that the guy on the Orioles. They showed like his outing. It got shortened by rain delay. So I was like, wow, this is the end result of just the raw footage, huh? It was interesting that they were blurring out like the score bugs. [01:02:00] Speaker B: Yes. It was just like weird because we were just flipping through and when we were at. We were also there when the high school baseball tournament. I always forget the name of like the big. The big deal. It's like you know the. [01:02:16] Speaker A: Yeah, bigger. [01:02:17] Speaker B: Bigger than the World Series in Japan. You know, it's massive. That tournament that was also playing on tv so we were watching the sports channels and like watching those high school games and stuff and like they would show like they'd have the. The studio hits and like it was. It was like I. Because for six years working at MLB I truly thought it was just a pointless stuff. It was just a fake thing that they had us do every night. And to see it actually realized that means that somebody. Right. Somebody the night prior was. Was at MOV network and put that clip and exported it and put it in the folder to send to Japan. And then the TV station in Japan actually played that clip of Otani flying out. Yeah, I saw it with my realize and I just. I never thought I would ever actually see that happen. It. [01:03:09] Speaker A: I watch it was it. I watched way more bas like Japanese baseball than I have watched MLB this year. Yeah, granted I. I was a. I'm a perverted freak and was trying to watch the DNA Bay Stars play cuz that's a team where a certain play pitch former MLB pitcher pitches on who is currently having the worst season. He's the worst pitcher in the NBP in a with like a four plus ERA in a league with a dead ball and historically low offense. But couldn't never got a chance to watch him pitch unfortunately. [01:03:49] Speaker B: Well because it's like hard to buy tickets. I know when I was in yoga. [01:03:52] Speaker A: No, on the television, brother. [01:03:54] Speaker B: Oh, I thought you mean you wanted to see it in person. [01:03:56] Speaker A: No, because I could. [01:03:59] Speaker B: I could not figure that out. We tried, we tried. We went to like, we went to. It wasn't Lawson's. It was another store that you could buy tickets. And like, it's just like. I don't know, man, you can just. [01:04:09] Speaker A: Go to the convenience and buy baseball tickets. [01:04:12] Speaker B: Yes. That's like how, that's how the system set up a lot of different lottery things. Because, you know, Japan's big on the lotteries, right? Yeah, for. For events, for signing up. They're at like Lawsons and Seven Elevens and other, you know, marts that like, they have machines there that like you put it in the system and then that's how you get the ticket. It's like really interesting. [01:04:34] Speaker A: I do have a public. Japanese public transportation. Take the subway system, not the Shinsen, cuz obviously prefer that to be here, but the regular local subway and within a prefecture. I'll give it like an 8 out of 10. And New York's like 6, maybe low 7 out of 10. [01:05:05] Speaker B: Why is it now are. You know, why are you. Why, why are you not building into the propaganda that it's the greatest thing since sliced bread? [01:05:13] Speaker A: Because I'm not. Because I'm immune to propaganda, Joe. I am in it. I've done my. I've done my own personal research. I've done my independent research, but anything else you'd like to know about my trip? [01:05:33] Speaker B: Did you see the Godzilla Hotel? [01:05:37] Speaker A: I did see the Godzilla Hotel. I have a picture of the big Godzilla head. We couldn't go outside. The like balcony with. It was closed. [01:05:46] Speaker B: But when I, when, when I stayed there, we. Yeah, we also could not go outside, which is like, why did we, why did we choose the Godzilla Hotel? Why was that not on the list? [01:05:55] Speaker C: Where Godzilla lives or what's the deal? [01:05:59] Speaker A: Yes, it's where. [01:06:00] Speaker B: I'll pull it. I'll pull it up. I'll pull it up. [01:06:02] Speaker A: All right. [01:06:02] Speaker C: Thank you. [01:06:03] Speaker A: It's. It is just a Godzilla themed hotel. [01:06:06] Speaker C: Okay. [01:06:06] Speaker B: And he's. He's on. It's not just the. He's on top. Yeah, he's literally on. [01:06:11] Speaker A: They have like a, like a. I'm assuming it's supposed to be a one to one sized head of Godzilla. [01:06:18] Speaker B: The hotel. Gracery. Here's a whole, Here's a whole website for you to get cultured on it. Sam. [01:06:25] Speaker C: Thank you. I'm very uncultured, so I appreciate this in general. [01:06:29] Speaker A: Yeah. You didn't learn this during the 2021 Olympics. [01:06:33] Speaker C: No, I didn't. I didn't learn anything during the 2021 Olympics except. Or honestly, I have nothing. I don't even know how we got through the 2021 Olympics, Ted. [01:06:45] Speaker A: Me. Because of me, baby. [01:06:47] Speaker B: Is this. Is this a bit. Is this a bit, or did you actually not. Did you already know about the Godzilla hotel and I was trying to show you a juice or. [01:06:55] Speaker C: No, no, I knew there was a Godzilla hotel. I did not actually think that Godzilla lived there, for the record. [01:07:01] Speaker A: He's there. [01:07:01] Speaker B: He's right there. [01:07:03] Speaker C: Nice. Yeah, well, it's a recreation. Like, they had. They had a guy in there the whole time, like, people on shifts and whatnot, being Godzilla. [01:07:18] Speaker A: That's why. [01:07:18] Speaker C: Like an immersive. Immersive Godzilla experience. [01:07:25] Speaker A: Yeah. I went to a lot of the Pokemon stores because each one had different Pokemon. Joe, you'll be happy to know I got a stun Fisk plushie. [01:07:35] Speaker B: Nice. I. I was worried. [01:07:38] Speaker A: I. They. So I walked in to the one that was like, a couple blocks south of Tokyo Station, not the one that's in Tokyo Station. And, like, I see a stun fisk. For the viewers at home, Stun fisk is a. Like a flat fish, I guess. Flat. Like a. Supposed to be a flounder or something. One of the Pokemon. I love him. He's the best. I. So I picked. [01:08:10] Speaker B: As you were searching for him. He was. Maggie. [01:08:12] Speaker A: Yes. In his legal. In his government name. So I pick it up and I press down on it and like, I feel like a. Not like there's like a crunch to it. And I look at the tag and I'm like, these mfers made it a dog toy. [01:08:32] Speaker B: Because that's what he does. [01:08:32] Speaker A: So I put it down, and then they have like, all the, like, small ones that's like, called Pokemon Fit or something. And they. For some reason beyond all. If you want any. If you want any of the Johto starters that isn't Croconaw, like, in any of the lines, good luck, buddy. You're wasting your time. But if you want stun Fisk, they have it. [01:08:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:08:59] Speaker A: So I'm like, yeah, go ahead. [01:09:02] Speaker B: It's like the photos where you see all of the. The Koridons and Zamazentas and Eveltos and, you know, like the other legendary. Like all the. Because the. The. The cooler legendary plushes have all been taken. So they're all just sitting there by themselves. [01:09:18] Speaker A: I got my favorite legendary Terrakion as one of them. [01:09:23] Speaker B: Nice. Nice. [01:09:24] Speaker A: They had a big Like Buzz Wall Boyfriend pillow where like its arm was like fist was out so it could like wrap around your neck. I was like, I want that so funny. I want it so bad. Would not fit in my suitcase. So I ended up not buying it. [01:09:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:09:40] Speaker A: But I. So I'm going up to pay for like I get like a big Cinda quill that I think might be one to one to. It's actually what it's supposed to Pokedex size. So I get that. I. I'm paying for all of it. And the person looks so surprised. They call over their co worker stunned. Someone's buying a Stun Fisk plush. They couldn't believe it. They're like, they were like, we sell this. [01:10:12] Speaker B: Oh God, that's good. [01:10:13] Speaker C: It was good to keep people on their toes. [01:10:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm glad, I'm glad they found. [01:10:17] Speaker B: The one that's just like the guy at Target. [01:10:22] Speaker C: Surprise Switch too. [01:10:23] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that came out that new Nintendo. He was like a younger guy, like maybe younger than me. He was like, oh, is that the new one? Huh? [01:10:38] Speaker C: Maybe he's just not a Nintendo guy. Maybe just locked in on Sony products. [01:10:43] Speaker A: I will say there was a Capcom store and I did go in there and they also had in a small corner just Mega Man Battle Network stuff. And I'm like, they found the one sucker that'll buy things from this. [01:10:57] Speaker B: Ladies and gentlemen, we got the. We got the Maggio Battle Network man in town. Let's. [01:11:02] Speaker A: Let's change stock also. Yeah, there's also this TV show called Crayon Shin Chan which is just about this weird five year old boy. There used to be a dub of it in America. When I watched the dub I said this has to be like a MXC type situation because there's no way that this is what the show actually is. And then you can sort of like watch it in Japanese and you're like, oh no. He is just like a freak. There was a clip of the show that went around on social media like a couple months ago where this buxom lady takes off her like shirt and has a tank top underneath as she's like running on a mountain and Shinchan's falling behind her and he stops and picks up the shirt to smell it. If you. If you know that that's the sort of guy he is. And I was the only foreigner in that store looking at things to. All right, anyone got any other point of orders to bring up. [01:12:14] Speaker C: Just, just for the sake of making this not evergreen, as is tradition. [01:12:18] Speaker A: Oh thank you. [01:12:20] Speaker B: This. [01:12:20] Speaker C: This tennis match is amazing right now. I don't know if you guys are big tennis heads, but watching the. [01:12:25] Speaker A: Versus Carlos Alcatraz. [01:12:29] Speaker C: Wow. Well, I want to say close, but also not remotely close in that this is. Is the men's final. So Coco was in yesterday's final, but I. I would. I would watch a Coco vs Alcaraz match, but that is not what's happening right now. [01:12:46] Speaker A: I. I can't name another male tennis player that's still playing. [01:12:51] Speaker C: Now. If. If Steven Tightings ever listens to this podcast, he's gonna. [01:12:54] Speaker A: What do you mean? We know he's a listener also. [01:13:01] Speaker C: Also is, like, constantly, like, trying to get a guest spot on here, which. Well, you should have told me. [01:13:09] Speaker A: Oh, no. Isn't he in? Like, he was. Isn't he there? [01:13:15] Speaker C: No, he. He was there for part of the first week. [01:13:17] Speaker A: Okay. [01:13:18] Speaker C: He's back. [01:13:19] Speaker A: Well, you should have told me yesterday when Perez. [01:13:23] Speaker C: I don't know. No, no. Edit this out. Edit this out. We can't let Stephen know. [01:13:27] Speaker A: He can never be able. I will edit this out. So hold on. Let's do take two. Ask that he's. Retell that he's trying to get a invite. [01:13:39] Speaker C: Count me in. [01:13:39] Speaker A: Three, two, one. [01:13:42] Speaker C: Yeah. And Steven Tydings is always trying to get an invite onto the show too, which is insane to me. [01:13:47] Speaker A: He is not part of the Apaholics Delights. He will never be. He is not Scott Efras. He is not. He's not Max Kiefer. Is that the Lakers hurt center. They got in the Luca trade. [01:14:04] Speaker C: Maxi Cleaver. [01:14:05] Speaker A: Cleaver. Yeah. So unfortunately, he. Who he has to be. [01:14:11] Speaker B: Who's more likely? Guess. Okay, Stephen Tidings or Noah Lyles? Who's coming on first? [01:14:19] Speaker C: I would love to have Noah Lyles on. I think we could, like, if we did, like, a. Another Pokemon, another anime type episode, I think he would fit in seamlessly. And you would have to put up with the fact that he also, like, enjoys the same stuff as you two. [01:14:34] Speaker A: We got. Well, it would have to be a Yu episode because he. It's. He. His Yu Gi oh cards is his thing, right? [01:14:40] Speaker C: Yeah. He was breaking out the Yu Gi oh cards at Olympic trials last year. [01:14:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I do remember that. Well, I don't know if, like. [01:14:48] Speaker B: But he also said the NBA wasn't, you know, world champion of what? So. [01:14:52] Speaker C: Right. [01:14:53] Speaker B: I don't know if we. I don't know if we need him on our. Our guest. [01:14:57] Speaker C: I think that was a real, like, butterfly effect moment because, like, I think he wasn't being such a. At worlds when he won and the US Team finished like sixth with their Celtics led roster. Then I don't think we would have gotten like Steph Curry and LeBron and Duran and all these guys to come back and make a real super team in Paris. [01:15:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:18] Speaker C: And we would have once again been led by Celtics players and lost. [01:15:21] Speaker A: So fair. [01:15:23] Speaker C: I'm happy that Noah Lyles had that rant. [01:15:25] Speaker A: Yeah. And it was very funny. And like, it did. [01:15:28] Speaker B: It was just a fun time. [01:15:29] Speaker A: It did get the hate watchers to come out. It was good. It was. And like social media was popping off. [01:15:35] Speaker C: You had like team USA NBA players admitting that they were like rooting for him to lose the hundred and being like, oh, no, that was just an awesome match. [01:15:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:43] Speaker B: Me and Ted also booing everyone else. [01:15:49] Speaker A: I think we were the only two in the highlights factory that were rooting against him. Everyone else was pro America. [01:15:54] Speaker B: I think that's why we weren't in the team photo. Honestly. [01:15:57] Speaker A: No, that's. There is a reason why. [01:16:00] Speaker C: That was an accident. [01:16:01] Speaker A: It was an accident. My favorite being is when it was happening, I leaned over to Jones, like, can you imagine noticing that us two weren't in there? Like the two loudest people in the highlights back. [01:16:11] Speaker B: Yeah. And our just group decision to just look out the window and say it was. And you guys, we. [01:16:20] Speaker C: It would have taken me and it was like a human manifestation of like the Squidward meme where you guys were looking out eating like the medium rare chicken from the Stanford cafeteria. [01:16:33] Speaker A: It was. It was food truck day. [01:16:34] Speaker B: I believe it was food truck day. Yeah. [01:16:37] Speaker C: Oh, so you could have been outside anyway. [01:16:39] Speaker A: No, that's. Well, that's why we got to lunch early so we wouldn't have to wait. Because one truck was only dedicated to the runners. [01:16:48] Speaker C: All right. [01:16:48] Speaker A: We didn't want to be caught in like a two hour line. [01:16:52] Speaker C: Right. Instead you got caught. [01:16:54] Speaker B: It would have taken us 15 seconds to walk outside. [01:16:57] Speaker A: Joe was so. [01:16:58] Speaker B: Because they decided to do. I. I was adamant you could. [01:17:02] Speaker A: No, no, you weren't. You were. You were like. I was the one who said no. It's funnier than that. We don't go. [01:17:08] Speaker B: You thought you did it for. For humor purposes. I did it for vengeful reasons to. Not for vindictive reasons. [01:17:16] Speaker A: I just like, I love texting Sam. The photo of like the perverse, like through the window. [01:17:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:17:22] Speaker C: The side angle. [01:17:23] Speaker A: Yeah. And then like, my favorite was like when Ollie, like, was eating lunch, she like, looked at us confused. Cuz he had. I think it had dawned on him that he did. We weren't in the photo. It was good. I love the bit. [01:17:37] Speaker B: It was really. [01:17:38] Speaker A: It's so funny. It was so funny. [01:17:43] Speaker B: Oh my God, man. [01:17:44] Speaker A: And if reports are to be true, that's the. I would. I was the only reason Wally would have been in that photo to begin with. [01:17:52] Speaker C: Wow. [01:17:53] Speaker B: What? [01:17:54] Speaker C: Because I haven't heard that. [01:17:56] Speaker A: I thought you told me that, like, Wally jokingly threatened that like if I wasn't back for Beijing, he wouldn't show up. [01:18:05] Speaker C: Oh, no, he did say that. [01:18:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:18:07] Speaker C: After Tokyo. [01:18:09] Speaker A: Yeah. That's how dope I was, Joe. I was a legend in Tokyo. [01:18:15] Speaker B: I was. I. I was there not for Tokyo. I was there for the stories of how legendary you were. [01:18:19] Speaker A: Yeah. All right. [01:18:23] Speaker B: I had a million view archery clip in. In. In two days. So, you know, I think I did all right. [01:18:30] Speaker A: I did the Noah Lyles race. So I think I'm that guy. Beat you, bud. [01:18:37] Speaker B: I'm not sure about that. [01:18:39] Speaker A: All right, all right, all right. Well, everyone, thank you for listening to this episode of the App off podcast. We will be back with a regular programming next time.

Like the web, the hand of God dictated he could not be on today's podcast. [01:19:23] Speaker B: Understandable that he's such a flake. You know I got it. [01:19:27] Speaker A: I've. Thanks for listening. The last piece of media I watched was lost season 2, episode 13 fire or episode 12 fire and water. Goodbye.
