38:25From a browse to a bike ride, this summer, find more on Facebook. I get so many headaches every month. It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more. Botox, on a botulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month. Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

38:58Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. Why wait? Ask your doctor. Visit BotoxChronicMigraine.com or call 1-800-44-BOTOX to learn more.

39:55Leave me alone And you know what that is I want your attention But I want you to know that I'm back On Dune Doing well Okay and I'm ready I'm ready to admit that I was wrong And I'm ready to say sorry And I'm ready I don't want to destroy the base But I'll destroy the base for you We're in the discord I'm gonna destroy the base We're in the discord And our friend Kevin Ace X Answers a call and has it on speaker Yeah yeah yeah And Mike is like I'm mad at you You were talking shit about me today. Very mean to me. And Kevin Asex goes, so they just go back and forth. And Mike goes, all right, well, I'm going to need you to fly me around in Doom, but you can't tell anybody I'm playing.

40:34He's on speakerphone, so we're all hearing it. Kevin's the best. I love you, Kevin. Kevin got me right, and I'm feeling good. I also was referred to as the Rizzler of the friend group by someone last night because I'm fat. I said that. Then another friend also got off and excited about the snacks that I ate during the movie, giggling about how fat I am. Nick Scarpino. Well, it's because Chris, at some point, Chris Anka asked. Now we're just getting into like a personal relationship. This was not me calling you fat. This is me comparing you to the Rizzler because at one point, Chris Anka asked, are you all just feeding him at this point as much as possible?

41:16Because every conversation revolves around, oh, I got to eat that, Nick. I'm a little gremlin. And so, like, gosh, it's just a disaster. I'll get it right, though. January. What's January? You never know. You never know. Oh, getting in shape. That's right. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. That's right. We'll see. Story number three. Critical Role working on its first video game, which will be set in Exandria. This comes from Victoria Phillips Kennedy at Eurogamer. The team behind Tabletop Web Series Critical Role is making its own video game. Critical Role has become a bit of a juggernaut since its debut over a decade ago with an animated series on Prime Video, sellout live shows, and more under its belovedly nerdy belt.

41:57Its core team is made up of many famous video game voice actors, including Laura Bailey, Matt Mercer, and Travis Willingham, to name just three. But while there's plenty of video games pedigree there, Critical Role is yet to make a game of its own until now. Critical Role's game itself is still way off, but we do know that it's being co-developed with an indie team and ad hoc studio as reported by Variety. Ad hoc was founded by veterans from Telltale Games, Ubisoft, and Night School Studio. Meanwhile, the upcoming release will be set in Critical Role's role-playing world of Exandria. the collaboration between Critical Role and Ad Hoc Studio came about as when came about when Willingham auditioned for a role in Dispatch which is described as a superhero workplace comedy and quote an interactive narrative game that has been built on in Ad Hoc's signature style quote just from looking over the audition game materials I knew there was something special about what Ad Hoc was creating and I immediately reached out said Willingham the design tone style and storytelling of Dispatch jumped off the page, and I knew, given the pedigree of the folks at AdHoc, this is a team that we wanted to collaborate with.

43:08Critical Role is always looking to build with people who are innovating around new ways to deliver story, character, and world building, and AdHoc fits that perfectly. Dispatch is currently set to release later in 2025 in collaboration with Critical Role, and also features the talents of Mercer and Bailey. AdHoc CEO Michael Chung called the collaboration the kind you hope for, adding, We've known Critical Role team for years. So when we finally started kicking around ideas, it all just clicked. It made sense in the best way possible. So we're thrilled to get a team up and cause some trouble together.

43:39This is exciting for them. This is wild. Yeah, really, really cool. Ad hoc and them doing dispatch. This does seem like the perfect blend. The two of them. I really enjoyed the critical role TV show on Amazon prime. The animated one. I didn't get to watch all of it. Okay. I enjoyed that one a lot. I've never watched the Dungeons and Dragons stuff that they're known for their bread and butter. but I am clearly aware of how big they are, what they do. And that is, it's kind of a match made in heaven. I kind of like this vibe of like ad hoc in their style, what we've seen from Dispatch, the telltale-like nature of everything, meeting maybe medieval, of course, medieval fantasy set in their world.

44:16This to me, I like this. Man, if we could get a, I mean, now I'm just sort of reaching for the stars and just thinking about Baldur's Gate and choices and permutations and what a fantastic D &D experience that was brought to more of a turn-based style thing. But obviously, with all of the rules of D &D 5 or whatever the rule book is, this could be really, really fantastic. Me and Ray Narvaez were talking about the creation of Critical Role and believe that we all came to the conclusion that we think it was Resident Evil 6. That's the cause for Critical Role because of the voice actors in Resident Evil 6.

45:00Laura Bailey's there and her and Troy Baker. The introductions of friends to friends and we think Critical Role would not exist without Resident Evil 6. So that's just kind of like our headcanon. Maybe that's true. Maybe it's not. If it is... Linky Dragoon said it's actually The Last of Us. I'm going to go with Resident Evil 6. I think it's more funny. Yeah, if it is, put a Resident Evil 6 Easter egg in the video game. Yeah. Just let us know he's right. Could be a lot more fun. Oh, Matt Mercer is in Resident Evil 6 as well, I believe. Great pull. Damn. Yeah, it's interesting because I think of Telltale.

45:34I think of the ad hoc style of this kind of animated nature, how beautiful that is in a fantasy setting. But what gets me excited is you bring up Baldur's Gate. Blessing, who played the Dispatch demo, talked about, oh the gameplay was different than what i thought it would be right that kind of hook of like oh this is a lot more fun the management sim it's it's seeing a of you know with dispatch being the superhero game it's seeing this person's in it's when you think of it it's kind of like oh you know if there's a fire pokemon you use a water pokemon on it it's like oh this this person's in need of rescue for this i should send this superhero over there because they match up better with what those skills are required.

46:12I think that's super cool, and that's way more than what I thought the video game would even be. So it's like, wow, they have the sauce to try to do something really dramatic with a lot of awesome characters and writing, but also mixing and matching these sort of cool game style mechanics. The gameplay is like, yeah, what is it going to be? I'm excited to see what they finally land on. Is it just straight up a virtual D &D like we saw with Baldur's Gate? That kind of vibe? Is it something different to keep it maybe the scale down a little bit and get this to be able to have a sequel, turn it out faster, move on to a, of course, Dispatch 2, something like that.

46:47It will be interesting to see, but let's team up. I like that. You think about it. Congratulations. You think about it, back in 2016, Mike, kind of funny really could have been right with Critical Role if they just said, let's drop all the bullshit podcasts and let's just do what they're doing. Let's go do D &D. Can you imagine? You and Nick, Greg and Tim doing D &D would be crazy I mean they were on that podcast with Kind of Funny Kevin was there, Kevin was running it at the apartment There was about 19 people in that small little baby room Could be a different future for Kind of Funny We'd be on top of it, we'd have our own Amazon Prime show Had to believe in it, it could have been it I really want to do D &D We need Nick to just say buckle the fuck up Can you tell him, I was on my knees I was on my knees begging him.

47:36Nick, this was such a success. We had so much fun as a group. The community loved it. Give me another one. And he looked at me and he said, no. That's too difficult. That was a lot of work. I said, no, Nick, no. The people want it. It was such a great time. We did our Fast and Furious D &D. Would have been a great time. Anyway, that's a story for another day. Story number four, though. Ubisoft suffers mixed results as Assassin's Creed Shadows hits 5 million players while Rainbow 6 Siege X struggles. I forgot that game came out, Mike. Yeah, but that's not a different game. It's an update to Rainbow 6.

48:14It's Counter-Strike 2. Yeah. Updated engine. It looks better or whatever. But I forgot it happened because I was pumped about going into it. I was pumped about like, oh, this could be my... This could be me. I'm always like, I don't want to hop in right now. Now I'm so behind, but like, it feels like an excuse to hop in fresh. And I was just totally missed it. That would have been the moment. This comes from Tom Phillips at IGN. Ubisoft has announced lower than expected results for its latest financial quarter and blamed the newly relaunched Rainbow Six Siege X. Just a straight up. We're blaming that shit.

48:49That's a great first sentence. Assassin's Creed Shadows, meanwhile, has continued to perform in line with expectations and recently passed 5 million unique players. Ubisoft has to date not provided an exact sales figure for the game, which is also offered as a part of its Ubisoft Plus subscription service. In a statement, Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot described the quarter as featuring mixed results. Launched on June 10th, Rainbow Six Ejects saw Ubisoft's veteran team shooter essentially go free-to-play with access to various modes and operators unlockable without the need for premium edition. Separate to this, Ubisoft said it suffered from, quote, quote, pricing exploit and prepaid currency cards that temporarily inflated virtual currency wallets, end quote.

49:32Damn. Something that's now been fixed. Got him. Today's new player figure for Assassin's Creed Shadows, meanwhile, sees the game continue to do what Ubisoft needs it to do, as players wait for Claws of Awaji, the game's first big expansion due at some point this fall. Quote, the first quarter delivered mixed results, Guillermo said. On the positive side, Assassin's Creed Shadows delivered on its expectations with now more than 5 million unique players since its launch and rainbow six siege x received highly positive player feedback thanks to its renewed gameplay and enhanced features that drove significant player engagement growth however players spending in rainbow six siege faced temporary but significant disruptions due to technical pricing issues which is now which have now been identified and addressed despite this one-off setback the growth potential of the game is strong with solid traction on activity and in-game spending.

50:24Damn. Significant player engagement, enhanced features, but we fucked up with the money. Damn. We fucked up with the microtransactions, y 'all. Damn it. I had y 'all. Really a tough thing to kind of overlook there. I mean, I'm happy about Rainbow Six Seed, about Assassin's Creed Shadows being on par with what they are looking for and it not, you know, it's not kicking anybody's doors down, but five million unique players i i think we we're in such a different day and age where 10 years ago random fucking video game could sell 18 million copies maybe 15 years ago i'll say right i think 10 when i think 10 years ago it's like oh shit that's i was almost that kind of funny you know what i mean 10 years ago seems like a you know a different lifetime ago but you're not going to get those type of sales anymore with just bullshit random game x that sells 12 million out of nowhere it it was just a different era i still think this is in my opinion below what i would expect for now it's a little bit of a double that sword is right yeah it's definitely below what i was expecting them to be at but for them to say hey rainbow six siege x disappointing us us has creed shadows however it's doing what we wanted to do it's performing that's called better expectations yeah right but the the issue with the double-edged sword is like it's great to hear that it was meeting expectations i think they were hoping for assassin's creed shadow the big prestige title from ubisoft finally doing the samurai warrior that we've always wanted going to japan i thought they wanted to blow the doors off i think we all wanted them to blow the doors off and so like them being like, it met it.

52:14It's like, okay, that means it was good enough. But I think everybody secretly wanted that one to be the Ghost of Tsushima, where it's like, you just did it. You finally landed it, especially with Assassin's Creed over the past couple of years, where they've changed up the style, starting with Origins and Onward, where they were like, hey, we really want to make this the one. We're going to figure it out. And then finally going to Japan and being that setting that the players wanted, meeting is good but not great and exceptional like i thought it would be well again you know me talking about this you know 10 years ago i think games just sold better inherently because there was less to play there was a lot to play there was no free-to-play games right and when we talk about assassin's creed shadows the story of it for me is this game was 10 years too late that this everybody wanted the samurai setting for over a decade that should have been when we were in like the far cry primal days or oh yeah there's the other one satan's creed unity brotherhood or whatever that other one with the friends you know that yeah yeah you launch uh you launched shadows in 2014 this thing's probably at 9 million by now you know 10 million by now and And it's just a different day and age where you wait forever to do the Samurai setting.

53:38And, you know, the last Assassin's Creed have sold well, right? That's why we keep on getting a lot of them. But for Ghost of Tsushima to come out, Ghost of Tsushima since, you know, this is just kind of estimated sales. But since 2020, over 13 million worldwide, super impressive stuff. We already, we got that Samurai Open World game. It was awesome. I just don't know. I just think it was like too little too late. Yes. As Red Hudson says in the live chat over on YouTube, it stole its thunder, right? Ghost of Tsushima came out and it was better. It stole the market. It said, hey, we're going to elevate this of what the players and fans want.

54:17And then when you come out with Assassin's Creed shadows and it's just more Assassin's Creed in the desired setting, that's not good enough. And for Ghost to be console exclusive, you know? Again, we'll see where these numbers are a year from now. Of course. Or I would say February, the year anniversary of it, because I think Ubisoft games kind of go perfectly in line with something like Black Friday sales and things like that and Steam sales. So I expect to maybe see this number at around$8 million by February next year, which I would see as a success. Get a little bump with DLC 1. Right. Get a smaller bump with DLC 2 when it goes on sale.

55:01But what we should also be highlighting, like you said, is the expectations were met, which is a positive. We didn't blow out the expectations of 100 million players like we're going to talk about with EA and Battlefield for the next week. Right. But like that was good. Rainbow Six Siege X. That's a conversation. Right. Right. Not hit me with a big dog. I mean, clearly what they're really nailing is we fubbed up. We messed up with the microtransactions. Right. We didn't account for X, Y and Z. all of a sudden we got the players coming in and bang we didn't capitalize on that moment and get into their wallets like we wanted to and that's why we're talking about it on the financial side also on the gameplay side right it is just version 1.2 it's not like we're changing this to Rainbow Six Siege 2 and it's officially a new game all new maps and you have to jump onto that it is still Rainbow Six Siege at its core how many new players are you really bringing in with this I'm sure it was enough, but not enough at the same time.

55:59And when you don't capitalize on the microtransactions being ready, moment one, and there's a small oversight, and you miss out on millions of dollars of revenue off of selling a gun skin. Yeah, that one's going to hurt a little bit. Yeah, apparently these prepaid cards having more money than they should have had. That's not a fantastic situation. I love that I look up CJX on Google, and I bring up a subreddit post from four months ago. where a question asks, what is C-Jex? I haven't played in a while. Just heard all the C-Jex stuff. What is it actually? Is it a new game? Just an update? And the first comment says, I love how you got downvoted for asking a question.

56:35Lovely community. For me, I think I'm more surprised that they are surprised that this didn't blow the doors down. I wouldn't expect this to do a whole lot. Like, I don't... When I look at Counter-Strike 2, coming out that's a big deal for the gaming community because everybody had been playing the first iteration or was it 1.6 or whatever you know what i mean it had been a long time since we'd see a massive visual overhaul when you hear they're making a counterpoint counter-strike two right holy shit what i think of that as a much larger deal than siege x which is visual upgrades we're we're kind of tuning some things and figuring things out a bit more but i think i'm more surprised that they look at how Siege X performs and go, fuck, we expected this to kind of kick ass.

57:27We really like fumbled the ball here. I just don't know what they were expecting, though. I don't really see Siege X as holy shit. This is the time to like bring in a massive player base. This is where we can overtake Valorant or something. Well, I think they did think that, right? Because as of right now, I don't know how, though. Well, you're riding the high off of social media, right? This kid Jinxie is now bringing in thousands upon thousands of views. on Twitch, on TikTok. There is now a large audience of younger generations of kids who are now talking about Rainbow Six Siege and want to play this tactical shooter that once was, was like just a little project.

58:04It was good, but it wasn't the massive stakes that it was now, right? And now you are really sitting at the dinner table, and they're eating, right? Like, mind you, this game, when you look at Steam charts, 24-hour peak was 95 ,000 players, right? And there's consoles all over the place. there's a lot of people still playing this game. Gimsy is a console player. Exactly. So like this game is very good, right? Like there's no question that like they have an audience. I think they just flubbed up with the microtransactions. I don't know. I think it's still just a major player. I don't think you can get down on this.

58:39You got people playing it. You got the younger audience interested. The question is, is like, what is next for Rainbow Six Siege? How do you make a next? We thought this was going to be it. And I think if anything, you know, when we're talking about Ubisoft struggles and hearing a lot of negative news and layoffs and this game is canceled and this game is on ice and it just it's it's always felt like a barrage of of negative negativity coming from from the studio. My my whole sticking point was just you got to double down on Siege. That's your big win and you double down. it and i think they did they have with doing this siege x you have to make this and continue to make it your main thing i think maybe they're just looking at it from a monetary uh you know perspective of them saying they had these maybe these digital wallet cards were messing up and messing up the income or whatever but i think siege x will be fine at the end of the day well they need siege x to generate money like fortnite and call of duty warzone does like that's their aspirational gold there.

59:48It's like, how do we take this and make it our golden goose? Because it is one of our top performers. It is one of our flagship titles. We have cut other studios with other games that were Game of the Year nominated that ran amok with Metacritic scores, but aren't generating money like this could, right? And so now it's just a question of, when I look at X, Y, and Z, how do we do that here? And that's a tough one, as you know, Andy, right, of there isn't a bunch of skins that you're putting in the game. Weapons skins now have to have this delicate balance of how much money do you charge for a weapon skin how much do you put out right because when you talk about valorant that's a whole different beast this isn't fortnight with peely and the boys showing up with the rock and batman and i can charge you just ten dollars a skin and we do that every single month this one's like well there's only a set number of characters how many skins can you really sell at what price there's only a set number of guns okay how do i make a bunch of money off of that no the fascinating a little place that they're in with Siege.

1:00:50And I'm also just, you know, again, looking forward to whatever the future is for Assassin's Creed Shadows. I would still play that game with you, though, just so you know. Siege X? Yeah, I would play Siege. Me too. I would play Siege. I'm not kidding, me too. Like, when I saw Madoc and Kevin Asex log in, and I was like, oh, shit, Siege X is out? I had no damn clue. And I forgot what I was really busy with. You know, according to our friend Chris Anka, You're stuck playing, constantly replaying mid-tier Souls games. And you're starting this negative. I'm not happy with you. He cuts you enough to make you love him, but also got that hurt.

1:01:26I'm not happy with you because you continue this narrative. Andy's playing Liza P for the fifth time. I played it twice. Play Peak with me. You didn't invite me. I want you to play Peak with me. You didn't invite me. All right, we play Peak. We play Peak. I'm sick of you, dude. I'm also sick of just hearing all this big news Mike Okay If I wanted some small news Say the smallest things you would want Where would you go? And I'd take you to our last story The We News Channel Where we cover all the small items you need to know about I was legitimately so confused right now With like where do my games daily dock go?

1:02:05Why does it look like this? It's because I had the games daily Or I had the games cast dock up Oh And I was like oh that's why this looks so different That's why the text is so tiny. Super Chats, or I'm sorry, Weed News. Terminator 2D No Fate has been delayed until October 31st. Clive Barker's Hellraiser revival from Saber Interactive has been revealed. It's a first-person action horror survival game coming to PS5, Steam, and Xbox Series consoles. Also, Zalavir Nelson is the voice of the main character. Hell yeah, Zalavir. Here we go. That rocks. Saber Interactive. Saber. That double-A experience.

Clive Barker's Hellraiser revival. I saw some of the clips. Do you want audio? No, it's okay. It looks fantastic. If you could just kind of fast forward midway through. Yeah, visual quality-wise, it looks great. They're doing a lot of just weird shit with. Okay. It seems like the next kind of big single-player horror game that all of Twitch freaks out about and everybody wants to play. Like an Outlast. Yes, an Outlast. Ooh, I love an Outlast.

1:03:15Or when I think of Bloober Team and the... What were the scary games that they made? They made the Medium, Silent Hill, and then they're doing Kronos. No, but the ones before that. They were making ones before that. Casting of Frank Stone. No, that's super massive. No, I don't know. You know which ones I'm talking about, Chad. We did a party mode of them once. Oh, Layers of Fear. Layers of Fear. Nailed it. Thank you, McCarthy. I beat you. Yeah. He beat you, McCarthy. too bad so shout out to uh to saber for working on more and more cool shit we got age field high rock the school has been announced please watch the trailer okay okay can you bring up can you bring up a trailer for age we're gonna need audio they say okay for age field high rock the school there and uh barrett says we want audio for this do i need to know who hellraiser is is that a person that i need to know i don't know if he's ever existed before this okay because like the The Terrorizer got introduced to me, and he's got a bunch of movies.

1:04:13Well, that's a relatively new guy. Hellraiser's been around since the 80s. Oh, so he is a guy. Yeah, he is a guy. Okay. Yeah, I was just lying to you. All right, let's see this trailer for H. Field High Rock the School.

1:04:28You know what's hella whack? Oh, no. Leaving school as a loser. Fuck yeah. Yeah, me and Kale have been talking about it for years, about how cool our senior year was going to be. We haven't done shit about it. So we made a plan to change that. This feels like a 17 plus team game about to happen. Yeah. I don't want to see this.

1:04:54What is going on? This is like those sim games that I play all the time. I'm playing firefighter sim. Landlord sim.

1:05:09Kick the jock's ass. Throw a massive party. Get the girl and rock the prom. This is fucked. Your teacher. That party was up. This is card. Let's tag it. Booyah. Hey, stop. Today is the day. I want to become an artist after school. But my father doesn't like the idea. Fuck yeah, dude. Fuck yeah, bro. So, you in, dude? Huh. I'm going to wish someone tagged me in this last night. Just like, uh, like, Oh, what do we think about this? And IGN had posted this saying H feel high, uh, rock. The school wears its bully inspirations very clearly on its letterman jacket in this early 2000 set. No American pie era, open world high school game due out early 2026.

1:06:02And that might possibly will be one of the worst trailers I've ever seen in my fucking life, man. I have a lot of concern on that one. chat says stream it. I need you guys to stream this. I saw somebody in chat say, this is pissing me off. Look, I'm not here's the thing. I'm not in any place to speak. Not a game developer? I'm not an authority on voice acting. Oh, okay. I've had 1.5 roles that I've been cast in in my life. I say 1.5 because the other one they ended up cutting like everybody's lines and only had effort sounds in boyfriend dungeon so you could just hear my character be like ah ah that's all it was so i'm not in any place to like you know cat to cast a stone like frank stone but um man like if you chat like if you watch my streams and just like when i do my stupid like voice acting real you gotta call it bandy and nick like they would do this for you i would do it for 12 yeah buy him a pizza he'll he'll give you an hour.

1:07:08He'll give you a day. She said that's about to be Dr. Disrespect's game of the year. Yeah, there's something there that I don't like. I don't like looking at that going, ooh, we're towing a line here. We're towing a line. That's tough right there. Nintendo announced a brand new Nintendo Switch 2 bundle that combines a Switch 2 system with Pokemon Legends Zaw, the Nintendo Switch 2 edition game. And I wanted to just read a couple Super Chats from our missed Super Chats when we were doing the Gamescast earlier today talking about Pokemon. Silver J. Hawkins says, there's a Pokemon Fossil Museum tour going right on.

1:07:46Going on right now and it ends its tour in Chicago 2026. This would be so much fun. Right? To be able to make the props, visualize what you would do inside of cool museum areas. Like, man, imagine an Aerodactyl skeleton. Imagine the cool Helix fossil for the little Omanyte you know, you're nailing these names. You know what I mean? Kabuto. Right. But then on top of that, I'm like, I would, I would go. Oh, you want me to give you some more fossil ones? Let me see. Kabuto. Kabuto. I think that's, oh, that's a fourth one. You know, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, that's more than I could ever ask for, but like, I'm, I'm good.

1:08:27Someone's got to, let me be a fly on the wall for the Pokemon theme park for this kind of stuff. Cause this has got to be so much fun. Let me pitch. Let me market. How do we get in the room and just say, let's make the Aerodactyl skeleton so it looks like a T-Rex skeleton at any museum? Let's get these things. This is Pikachu riding an Aerodactyl. Love that. Kevin, this is so sick. This stuff should be larger than life. I would have made that Kabuto seven feet tall. I love that it's there. I'd make this shit massive. But isn't it to scale? It doesn't matter. I want the wow. Look at that. Look at that.

1:09:03There we go. That's a big-ass fossil. This is cool. I love this. But also, you see the room that it's in? No, no, no. I'm in the front walkway. When you walk in and it's a New York museum, they got these stunning ceilings, these giant walls, where the T-Rex is, fuck that T-Rex. I'm in there now is what I tell them. I'm Pokemon. Like you? Well, I mean, like my exhibit here. This guy right there would be at the grand entrance of the New York Museum. I see what you're saying. Yeah. Be all over that. That was very cool. Thank you for that. Thank you for that super chat, Silver J. Hawkins. We also have a birthday tax from Zachy641, who says, Birthday tax, I appreciate you lovely people.

1:09:41Thank you, Zachy. Happy birthday. What's up, kid? Do you see that Pikachu's dressed up like the dude from Jurassic Park? Oh, shit. He is. Whose name I don't remember, because I don't remember anything, which is why I'm the worst at Game Showdown. Is that Roger typing that? I'll put fucking Roger in a headlock. My favorite genre of Mike's quotes are him saying, I'd do this with no thought of practicality or reality. It doesn't matter. You're Pokemon. You have more money than fucking God. Put him in a headlock. I can make any of this shit, Roger. Are you crazy? Put him in a headlock, Mike. Let's get to the your wrongs for today.

1:10:16We got Tundra Boy who says, I'm your wrong, you myself. Those super massive layoffs took place in 2024, not earlier this year. Thank you, Tundra Boy.
