We'll have all this and more because this is Kinda Funny Games Daily.

0:34i was wrong wasn't it that's always something you know you were trying to throw me off right before the cold open you start just saying the word chicken the energy you bring to this show there's nothing funny about chicken yeah what's funny about chicken nothing you're laughing no god this mother we were gonna talk about birthday cake We were going to talk about birthday cake. What do you want to say about birthday cake? The problem with birthday cake is like the best bit about cake is the cake. And there's always like too much frosting, too much sweet. It's too sweet. Just give me the cake. I want pure cake.

1:07You know me. I do know you. You're all about that cake. All about that cake. How much cake are you coming across in your everyday life? Not often. You know, I live alone. You know, rarely you buy like a whole cake. You know what I mean? Rarely. Rarely. Well, you have to be in a particular state of mind. Yeah. I've had a particularly bad day if I'm eating a whole coffee and walnut cake. You know what I mean? Yeah. But it happens. But it happens. If it has that yellow sticker on in the supermarket where it's reduced by two pounds, maybe I'll delve in. Then you don't feel too guilty if you only eat a third of it anyway.

1:40Yeah. But yeah, I'm all about that cake. I don't even know how we got here. I just came in and you just wanted to talk about it. You were talking, we were talking about kids' birthday pies. the kids maybe kevin was talking about that with you yeah and the zoo and then there was yeah about the zoo yeah and then i saw a plate of chicken i just said chicken and now we're talking about apparently we're talking about i don't know what niantic like inter-ballistic missiles i don't know what's going i really hope that's not happening you know at least we've promoted it from we news to big news yeah this time you know yeah yeah i feel like drones and missile strikes and all that probably are big news yeah sadly we're getting used to it in this world but should we talk about video games instead i think that we should everybody because this is kind of funny games daily where each and every weekday we get together to talk about all the video game news that you need to know of course i'm tim gettys i'm joined today by simon carty on his final day here i know three days in a row i'm sorry for anyone who doesn't like i think that you are clearly a fan favorite i don't i think people love you i just assume people don't like me it's always a pleasant surprise yeah yeah and i see people in the channel are already saying right how doggos says tim's a tomato today sorry buddy you know what i'm sunburned i've been sunburned i'm probably going to be sunburned you you got sunburned i'm from the uk and i didn't get sunburned yeah you should be embarrassed i am embarrassed it's embarrassing to everybody involved and that person is me remember if you're watching live be part of the show by super chatting on youtube.com slash kind of funny games uh we couldn't do this without your support on patreon so shout out to our patreon producers carl jacobs omega buster delaney the psalm twining and lax nomad before we do all that stuff though i i do want to ask you about children's birthday parties how many are you going i thought i thought it's gonna be 50 50 between shapes or godzilla and yeah we went children's birthday that's fine yeah how many children's birthday parties not many you gotta treasure this you need to treasure these moments yeah because all of a sudden the doors will burst open and you'll be getting invites to 27 children's birthday parties a year i don't even know how there's this many damn kids.

3:42My kid's four months old. Wow. She doesn't have friends. Turns out she does. She's at a birthday party right now. What? I'm not there. She won't even remember it. What's the point of creating these memories for kids when their brains are too small to contain them? I don't know who it's for. I guess it's for me because it is very cute getting pictures. It's a circus themed birthday. I mean, there's a clown. I don't know. I doubt it. I'm not a big fan of clowns. Yeah. No, maybe I'll come back in eight months and I'll come to her first birthday buddy how about that and i'll bring the cake you are invited bring the cake everybody it's all hashtag to the bring the cake hashtag bring the cake for now let's begin with what is and forever will be the roper report it's time for some news we have six stories today story number one nintendo's pow world lawsuit looks like a massive dud zero chance of winning this comes from scott new at destructo it's always a chance always there's always a jay nintendo hold out hope yeah we don't know what's gonna happen here remember when power world set the gaming world on fire in 2024 nintendo and the pokemon company sued them for infringement i do too it's all coming to a head soon it was no secret from the very beginning that power world was a pokemon clone but when it comes to actual copyright and making it stand up in a court of law it's not so simple and a new report suggests it's not looking good for the plaintiffs that's according to legal analysis in a new report from games fray which says that nintendo has quote zero chance of prevailing in the suit's current form when the hearing takes place later this year on October 1st.

5:11It's all a bunch of legal jargon, but it mostly has to do with the fact that Power World devs Pocket Pair amended any possible infringement from early versions of the game. When the lawsuit kicked off, Nintendo and TPC first targeted all versions of Power World before they amended the scope of their claims in terms of what they're seeking from the court, not in terms of a patent claim, in November 2025, and the court case is now limited to older versions of Power World, i.e. before Pocket Pair made changes to eliminate patent exposure. This means that current versions of Power World, which may have removed any potential issues, are not under fire.

5:42Based on the narrowed scope of the case, we cannot see any pathway to victory or any current or very recent Power World version, nor Power World 1.0, which should launch soon, for Nintendo. There will be no injunction with real-world impact. Power World 1.0 launches next month after over two years in early access, and while the game's popularity has dropped off ahead of that, the good news for pocket pair is that the most nintendo and tpc could get from the suit is around 30 000 or 5 million yen and that's only if it can prove that there were any was any actual damage done by the alleged infringement simon give me your hard hitting take on this hard hang i just like talking about the games tim you know i don't i'm not a lawyer good luck to him good luck to him yeah i don't understand yeah yeah i'm just a man i'm just a normal man all right i don't understand how Nintendo could lose this.

6:31If this doesn't count as infringement, then we can just do anything. It seems pretty blatant at times. I'll admit, I haven't played any Power World. From everything I've seen, I've been like, yeah, there's Pokemon. That's Pokemon. And it's like that specific Pokemon. For people that were watching the show, you've seen me watch these trailers and call the Pokemon out as they're being shown. It's just ridiculous. People say it's genre. No, they're copying the designs of these things. and i guess they went in and fixed it you know yeah they still got rid of the actual rigging that was the exact same thing as luxray but they kind of i know a fucking luxury when i see it they still did it and made money from the time of it though right so you know yeah i mean you know i'm never gonna be like on the side of a mega corporation but you know i do feel like a little bit bad for nintendo on this occasion because i'm like feels like they have a case um but yeah obviously then maybe they don't i don't know there's that panda guy there he looks good what's Do you want to know who he is?

7:27No. You got any good koala stories? No?

7:36Oh, my God. I hope that Kevin's laugh was picked up on camera. I told him a koala story before the show went live, and I was like, I can't tell this story on the air. So, of course, he's got to throw. You're just trying to throw me off. That's all you're trying to do this entire show. I have no takes on the lawsuit. You've brought me in here. I don't know why. I brought you in here. I don't know either. But yeah, again, this is so silly that this is what I'm talking about. We see Nintendo get in these lawsuits, like the Nintendo ninjas we talk about all the time. I mean, what's$30 ,000 to Nintendo?

8:09What are they doing with that? Yeah. What are they going to do with that? Nothing. Put up a poster? I don't know. I don't know. This is just all ridiculously silly. Like, why are we even wasting our time with it? But we're here. Yeah. Let's move on to story number two. Niantic Spatial denies Pokemon Go data is being shared with a drone company It's all Pokemon today, isn't it? Oh man, all Pokemon all the time They're on a bad day Penance Shepard Akataku is the one reporting this Pokemon Go's history of being used to collect data is well documented with the AR scans people generate while playing the game being used to build AI-powered map models Though players had to opt into the feature many have expressed discomfort with the use of the monster taming games in-app features to collect such data and that discomfort's escalated as it's come out the Niantic Spatial, the separate company that owns all the original scans following developer Niantic's acquisition by the Saudi-owned Scopely, entered into an agreement with Vantor, a provider of spatial intelligence that seeks to deliver a comprehensive positioning solution that will enable air and ground platforms to navigate and coordinate precisely in GPS-denied environments.

9:16Again, this is my area of expertise. Yep, yep. The original announcement said this partnership was part of an effort to solve issues of GPS unavailability, spoofing, interference, and jamming and drone piloting using Niantic Spatial's on-the-ground data and Vantor's aerial data, aligning both for a shared coordinated system that would allow for any sensor to determine its position even as signals are jammed or otherwise blocked. The idea is that drones will be able to share coordinates with a ground-level pilot even without a GPS signal. Vantor's previously worked with defense and intelligent industries, so the possible possible military application of technology that could be used to pilot drones even when signals are jammed is enough to make pokemon go fans wonder if the pictures they took of pokestops could be used to assist in drone strikes it sucks because it's the least you've contributed to this a lot but you know how do you feel you've contributed i have the problem i i now here is the thing yeah if there's one feature of pokemon go that i pretty much refuse to interact with it is the scanning the pokestop okay because it's annoying yeah yeah yeah only for that reason not because of the military strikes like i i mean this definitely does not make me want to do it you can't do anything these days you really can't go into a shop and buy a loaf of bread without them knowing your whole history and you know just everything about you it's insane man yeah fucking lanky dragoon systems a military asset at this point exactly you're a sleeper agent you didn't know it yeah man this it just sucks because it's like no we don't know it's true but it's a weird link well we can all admit it's weird let me finish this off okay So, True and Valscrantz reports on the matter, translated and compiled by DroneXL, assert that a U.S.

10:55defense contractor, Vantor, is preparing to put the navigation model created with the help of the roughly 30 billion scans players have created while playing Pokemon Go into drones and other military robots. Other military robots? What are we making out there? The reports have been going viral on social media. So we reached out to the Niantic Spatial for clarity on the situation, and the company released two statements claiming that Pokemon Go data is not part of its agreement with Vantor and that Pokemon Go's data is not shared with Niantic Spatial since the company was spun off following the Scopely acquisition.

11:23That never lie about this. Never. Now, as part of Scopely, Pokemon Go data is not shared with Niantic Spatial, a company spokesperson said in a statement to Kotaku. AR scans collected through Pokemon Go were submitted voluntarily by players who opted into the feature and were subject to the applicable terms of service and privacy policy at the time. the discontinuation of AR scanning at the end of the data sharing with Niantic Spatial were part of the transition planning associated with Pokemon Go's move to Scopely. And this is interesting. Because I did notice they took it out recently. Do you think they were expecting it?

11:56I don't know. It's gone. Makes you wonder. Because you can have up to four daily special researches you're doing. The fourth one was always the scanning. And it just disappeared like two weeks ago. I'm not going to lie, the image I have in my mind at the moment is of Snake sneaking into Shadow Moses to just wipe all Pokemon Go data from the Earth as a mission. That's kind of what I've got in my head right now. Maybe what needs to happen? I mean, I would be devastated. Would you sacrifice losing all of your Pokemon Go progress if it stopped someone being bombed? Yeah. Okay, good. That's the right answer.

12:32Yeah, I think I would. Good, good. Yeah. I think we needed that on the record so people understood. If anything gets clipped out from this episode, let's make sure that it is that. And not the koala. And not the koala story. We're not talking about the koala. Well, people are now wondering what's going on. It's going to get worse and worse, the images in people's minds. But yeah, all this data. I mean, how much data is there in the world right now, do you think? Just a rough estimate how much data. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? More than you'd think. I don't know if there is. I think there's a lot.

13:05Yeah? Yeah. The thing about this is, you brought it up, but we're just fucked. Every single thing we do is fucked. They know everything. They're listening to us. They're listening right now. I don't know why they're listening, but they are. That's why I'm very careful about what I say. I'm not giving anything away about this. Who knows who are listening? Are Pokemon listening? Which Pokemon has the best hearing? Loudred. That's exactly the one I admire. Yeah? We're on the same page. That's crazy. Is he funding drone strikes? You know He doesn't look trustworthy No, allegedly Get to story number three We're cruising through the show We're going to have a lot to talk about He's just hijacking this Like he's hijacking it all Give us some meatier stories to talk about Drone strikes?

13:54No, no Story number three Side-scrolling beat-em-up game The Walking Dead Streets of Survival announced. This comes from Sal Romano Ekamatsu.

16:50Did you see the picture of everybody on the flight to New York? And there was like, everybody was watching the Knicks game. One guy was watching Avatar. Fair play. I bring that up because I feel like Walking Dead is like... Is this a Beyblade game? Now we're talking. Okay, now you've got my attention. Well, what is this, Kev? The Sleigh Blade game that was like advertised at the end of the trailer. I was like, is this Beyblade? Okay, now I'm interested. Let's stick on this for a little bit. Were you a Beyblade game? No, so how old are you? 34. You're 34. I'm 36. I think that two-year difference is the difference between Beyblade and not.

17:25Because of all the, like, children's – let's just call it children's. I know adults can enjoy it too. But for all the, like, children's kind of IP that we're dropping around the time, I end at Yu-Gi-Oh. Okay. Because, like, I was very – and obviously Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, like, those three. Card Captor, Sakura, like, all that shit was my shit. Monster Rancher. But Beyblade was like a step too far. I liked... Metabots, a step too far. I liked battling them. I liked the show. I was always annoyed in real life, you know, the dragon stuff didn't come out of the actual Beyblade, you know. In real life, it's just a bit of plastic.

18:00I don't know if you knew that. There's no, like, magic. I didn't know there was magic. I thought it was plastic. No, they kind of come out, they almost, like, summon out, and they fight each other out of the Beyblades. That's cool. The only connection I have with Yugo is we in the UK, this must have been, God, I must have been about 12, so 22 years ago a load of crisp brands you could collect chips crisps in case you didn't know we're doing collectible Yu-Gi-Oh Tazos which are like pogs I don't know if you had Tazos these are words we were just talking about this recently Andy we were talking about sleepovers and slumber parties and Andy was talking about pogs came up and he calls them Tazos yeah yeah so they had Yu-Gi-Oh Tazos and you collect them all there was tons and obviously you know desperately looking for that blue eyes white dragon and always in you know what's it skips you know wheat crunchies you know all the they went in wheat crunch they're not walkers brand i'm mixing the things up skips you know you know skips what's it's and quavers what the fuck did you say to me let's go skips what's it's cravers okay skips are my favorite they're like a prawn cocktail shell they're really nice they kind of melt on the tongue you don't really have prawn cocktail as a flavor over here do you it's lovely oh shrimp cocktail like there's yeah it's a very popular chip flavor in there no no that's not um so skips quavers are kind of like a crunchy cheese curl okay um and then what what's it's uh they're like a cheese puff uh but they're nice they're called what's it's yeah they're great i should have brought those there's prawn cocktail those are all good it sounds like you just named the Migos.

19:35Say them again. Skips, Quavers, and Watses. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, I collected the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tazos. Never really watched the show, but I collected those just because they were there to collect. So you didn't watch Yu-Gi-Oh! You didn't play the cards? You didn't collect the cards? No, it was cool. I was eating crisps, you know. What other... What were your... Those type of things? What were those type of things? A bit about Pokemon was one. I was too busy watching La Haine, the French classic. The amount of times you brought this fucking movie up in the last five days. No one knew what it was.

20:12Have you explained what it is to... Yeah, I said it to Andy, right? Yeah, okay. It's basically French do the right thing. Yeah. An amazing film. Anyway, what was I doing at H2P? It was football. A lot of football. We've collected football cards, right? You know, baseball cards. Stickers and stuff like that. Are there shiny ones? There were shiny ones. There were special ones. You can get the World Cup ones now. I haven't delved into it. I haven't done that since I was at university. But yeah, that was my life.

20:44What were we talking about? The Walking Dead. Yeah, The Walking Dead. Yeah, I never really got into it. I mean, I love the Telltale game. Yeah. I don't need any more of those though, you know. Is there any joy in your life? Is there anything that makes you happy right now? I mean, I would normally say football, but that went badly. the World Cup's here I love games just not these ones you know is there anything I enjoy? You've asked me to talk about lawsuits, bombs, strikes and layoffs what do you want me to do? Let's get to the Super Chats before we take a word from our sponsor Stannis says what are your top British films Simon?

21:21I have The Red Shoes Holy Grail, Withnail and I, The Long Good Friday, Wicker Man 73 and an honourable mention to Shaun of the Dead British films, I mean it depends what you ask a British film because technically a Nolan film is a British film right so you could say Inception is a British film. They're renaming the Alamo Drafthouse Theater in San Francisco to be the Christopher Nolan cinema and I find that really bizarre. He was born in North London. It's cool but it's also like what? And they're reasoning they're like yeah he's like saving cinema and I'm like so is Tom Cruise. Yeah I mean Nolan is cool.

21:55But yeah name of the cinema in San Francisco after him? Is he is he aware i'm sure he's been here and the biggest problem is and i was talking to greg about this it's like i feel like he would be the first person to not want to watch a movie at that theater i hate probably yeah yeah i'm just looking like british has got my letterbox top 250 films here i'm just looking at what would be the top british one would you count supergirl as a british film i would disown it instantly if we did absolute pile of shit then it really is and i I don't know what the British film. I don't know. I don't really like many British films.

22:34Dunkirk. Let's go Dunkirk. Dunkirk, everybody. There we go. What are we doing now? You says, I love when Tim was a big copy. There we go. Dunkirk is the top one. Hot Fuzz, obviously incredible. Timothy Goulden in that. Also the voice of Mr. Pricklepants in Toy Story. Your favorite Toy Story character. I love Mr. Pricklepants. In Bruges, brilliant. Barry Lyndon, brilliant. Lawrence of Arabia, brilliant. Peter O'Toole, obviously incredible in that. Also, inexplicably in Supercar. Yes, he is. So there we go. Donto says, I've loved Simon's KF residency. Cheers, y 'all. Happens a few days a year. I love it.

23:09Sometimes there's a year gap. I love it, man. Goldfish says, 30th birthday tax. Thank you guys for making the 30s look cool. I don't feel ready to be 30, but I just got my X-Cast shirt and Steam controller the other day. So we're off to a good start. God bless you all. Happy birthday. Do we make 30s look cool? No. I don't know. I don't think we do. no i'm having fun doing it it's fine you know i can't complain did you get a steam controller no i did question i've been loving it but the i'm really upset with the amount of hurdles that i run into with it it is very pc gaming yeah i might consider getting one if i consider getting the steam machine i still don't know why i need one i don't know how much it's going to be like what's it unless they literally go half-life 3 is the is it somehow exclusive only to that box yeah it won't be but i'm really upset with the steam controller because it doesn't work with the xbox pc app and it seems like that's a like i don't understand who's to blame with this one i don't know if it's on the steam side or the xbox does it work with epic game store i don't think so okay so you could it works amazing with steam which is great i mean in the name, right?

24:21Yeah. But I just wanted it to be like my PC controller. It does look nice. I haven't actually held one. It does. Just from looking at it, I can tell it feels nice in the hand. It does. Did I grab it for you? Do you want to hold one? Maybe later. Maybe later. I don't want to disrupt this flow we've got going on. Such a great flow. Cozy Bear says, Tim, were the koalas present in Mexico? Alexio also says, was the koala thing in Mexico? No. The koalas are from San Francisco. Don't worry. What happened? Not from San Francisco. I don't know maybe we'll reveal it at some point that point is not now Alvaro says Kevin showed Tim the Beyblade anime shot with Moses using one to open the Red Sea I don't need to watch it I see it in my head Marco says hey Simon are there any cool cryptids across the water besides Loch Ness oh I'm not actually a cryptid expert sadly

25:16is that the video is that a cryptid yeah yeah i opened up the video do we have it yeah we have it let's watch it let's do it i'll think some british cryptids while we're at it all right here we go there's obviously black shuck the black the big black dog shuck like chuck but with an s at the front uh yeah i have a legendary like big dog this is awesome inspired hound of the baskervilles i think the sherlock home story are we watching this now yeah okay he's using a beyblade to split the scene when it's actually moses wait they're trying to apply that moses used a beyblade i don't think they're implying i think it looked like it happened look like it happened to me uh nimble says happy friday y 'all simon you've been so incredibly funny all week immediately became a huge fan when you go home when you leave us Yeah, yeah, yeah.

26:05Where can people find you? Like, what's the best way to keep getting more of this in their life? Well, IGN. I'm not as funny in IGN because I try and actually write stuff that people care about. Occasionally, I throw some jokes in there. You know, I did my Tomb Raider preview that went live yesterday. Put a little few lines about Paddington Bear in there. Why not? They're both from Peru. Okay. Yeah, yeah. And the IGN UK podcast we do every Friday. I'm normally, you know, eight times out of ten, I'm hosting that. there's more of this I like that I choose the running order for that though so it's actually more about things I enjoy rather than lawsuits, layoffs and bomb strikes What's your Bond actor rankings?

26:46Not God, Brez wants to know It's top two Daniel Craig and Roger Moore but they're very different vibes Daniel Craig's I think the best Bond encapsulate the character from the books the best but Roger Moore's just hilarious just everything he says it's just stupid those films stupid then connery just below then dalton then brosnan then lazenby lazenby film is still very good i think but um yeah he's not my favorite so there you go there we go any thoughts from you there i am not educated enough to actually rank them i i will say craig would be my number one and that blows my mind because i remember when uh he was like first cast and even after watching casino royale i was like but pierce Brosnan's Bond and that's because of the time I grew up right with the video games and the theme park rides and like Pierce Brosnan was just so iconic and you look at him and I'm like that's what I thought Bond should look like.

27:41No, he should have the piercing blue eyes and blonde hair. Yeah. Daniel Craig has those eyes. Yeah, but I didn't read the books. Oh, those eyes. Wow.

30:47What's the correlation here between the World Cup and... It's in Vancouver. Yeah, but is that the only link to the World Cup? That's where they're shooting. Oh, it's because of the break. Sorry, I just thought they were just like completely making a link. Sorry, I was too busy trying to find Peter Sosko's death scene from Green Lantern. This is one of the funniest things in the world. I've never seen it. Oh, it's amazing. if you can find that kevin uh it's incredible i think i like a one minute 40 and the power of fear scene uh from green lands on youtube it's oh it's funny it's just gonna oh anyway carry on

31:27um disrupting live including location work in the cities where the games take place after the hiatus filming slated to continue through the end of the year for a premiere in 2027 season three is likely but not confirmed to be last of us's final installment yeah i didn't like season i reviewed well i didn't know i did i liked season two really really enjoyed season one the last of us on hbo reviewed both seasons for ign get the first season of nine second season a seven overall i think more of a six i don't want to say i was about seven or six yeah i would have gone with yeah yeah um i didn't love where they i didn't liked the last episode so i was a bit wary of where they're going not necessarily like how they've changed the story and how things are being revealed so i'm a little bit wary going into season three but i'm also kind of slightly excited because i feel like they may switch it up quite a bit so i'm interested to see what they do with it who do we think he's gonna so he's gonna be one of the leads of the seraphites we don't really meet we don't really hear them speaking much do we like shouting it so i like that some of the added stuff we got in season two like hinted at us getting more of them and i'm like that does seem like something that i'm i'm interested in yeah let's check let's watch this see what we have to look forward to in season three oh i don't think this is it but who cares this isn't him dying is it i've never seen this movie in this series i've never seen this movie this looks like a death to me um interesting same director as casino royale no way there we go i think martin campbell there we go no it isn't but you know we can still see what he looks like.

33:03That's not dead. No, I think he might die more. He might die more later. I don't know. Anyway, that was a terrible film. Last of us, though, yeah, I'm wary, but I'm intrigued to see what they're doing. I really think the biggest issue with it is that people could play the game in one sitting. It's hard to... It's now been years, even since season two. Exactly. That's just tough, man. Definitely not doing themselves any favors. I'm still very excited, though. Yeah, yeah. I want to see what they're doing. If they confirmed if season three is the last. They said at the end, right? I thought they had confirmed, but maybe I was.

33:39I don't think they'd confirm. I think there's heavy hints that they were. Because isn't Craig Mason moving on to something else straight after? I've forgotten what it was. He's tied up. Well, Druckmann's off of season three. Yeah. And I think Craig Mason signed up to do something else. Oh, it's the Baldur's Gate show he signed up to do. Oh, interesting. So it feels like this could well be the last season. Yeah. At least with him involved. I mean, honestly, I feel like there was a time when it felt like, oh there's no way they're ending in season three like they're just going to continue this forever but i feel like the season two this point felt like a dud um i think the reception of it like it still did very well i think people generally enjoyed it it's just if you were connected to those games and like i loved the last part two one of my favorite games ever yeah it didn't quite hit and i think i never think it could have if i'm honest yeah it's tough it's a different medium there i think the difference is though like being online like you see all the stupid ass vitriol oh yeah i don't care about the noise that doesn't matter but then there also is just the quality of the show and like what the season of the show did and i feel like all my normie friends they didn't like season two as much as season one i don't like like you said there's all the nonsense but like yeah i just i didn't love bella ramsey in season two and it's a criticism of their acting none of the other nonsense yeah and it's hard to when you're writing these reviews right to actually deliver that proper criticism about it you always have to like clarify it and it's nothing to do of any of this.

34:56You keep saying nonsense, and it reminds me of when Andy is doing impressions of your people, and he calls people nonces. Yeah, well, do you know what that means? Tell me what it means. You know what it means. What's a nonce? Tell me what a nonce is. I know, but I want you to tell me. Is it related to the koala story? I don't know. I don't know. I actually don't know. Is it a dickhead? No, no, no. It's a pedophile. i don't know why i said it in american because we don't pronounce it like that but i saw you how do you say it yeah um that's what a nonce is man i'm really learning a lot yeah it doesn't just mean you're an idiot did you know that kevin no and i'm sure that andy doesn't either it's andy here can somebody see if andy is here thank you kevin this is very important stuff it is very, very, very important.

35:53Chico, Chiku23, Super Chat, saying, Hi, Simon. Rank all the kind of funny team. Who's Bra, Gallus, and Numpty? What's he saying? I don't know. I'm even confused. Oh, I looked up some Scottish slangs. Hope these make sense. Oh, Numpty's kind of like an idiot. I know that one. I'm not Scottish, so I don't know the first two. I'm not going to rank you guys. I love you all. Okay, fine. But what's your British slang? Like what's the British saying you use the most? I don't know. It's always hard when you ask. I just speak. And I do say it in it. Yeah. I know it's the classic, but I do say it in it.

36:29I don't know if I use any specific British. It'll just come out and I won't realize it's a British thing. Like when I say skips quavers and all that, you know. Yeah. But yeah. I don't know. I'll have a think. I'll have a think. Is Andy around? I'll have a think is a great way to put it. I'll have a think. I'll have a think. Andy's not around. Bollocks. I do love bollocks. Is there anyone out there that you, Kevin, that you saw? Is Roger out there? There were a lot of people out there. Who do you want? Give me Roger. Okay. Thank you. I do like bollocks. Americans don't really say bollocks. No. That's a good one.
