## Transcript

 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening, everyone. My name is George. That was perfectly timed. I did take long. Yeah, that was great. Thank you. Watching someone else play pinball. Target practice is going to get me some of that sexy man. Welcome to the stream. Hi, Erpina. Welcome as well. We have two guests on this evening. We have Dice and Surreal. Surreal, how was your night so far? Oh, so far it's fine. It's fine. And Dice, how was your evening so far? Uh, just another manic Monday. Not my fun day. I wish it was Sunday. It's kind of like Sunday 2.0. I had off today, so it was great. I had lots of opportunity to catch up on stuff. Did either of you guys have to do it for the government so you get days off that aren't necessary? Yes, exactly. Any day off that you get off is welcome. Exactly. No matter what the reason. I will take every day off, although I really should be saving up my days off at this point, so that way I can go do a bunch of traveling. I got to run out to Joe Hills at some point, probably in the next couple of weeks, to go pick up Guardians of the Galaxy. And then we have... Oh, you're not a fan of Guardians? No, sorry, George. I'm a fan of good games. It's okay. No, no, no. It's really interesting that you say that. I think it's a game that gets boring, that can become boring very quickly. And I have some issues. I think that the rules... By the way, hi, Iron Fox. The ruleset on it, I think, there's a lot of opportunity or maybe missed out on capability or something in that game where the rules could have been just slightly different and really provided you benefits to going certain routes on the rules, which would have been fun. Hi, Surreal. If TCN made cereal and they had a Guardians of the Galaxy-flavored one, it would absolutely be Grape Nuts. Okay. Hey, Grape Nuts on chocolate ice cream is absolutely fantastic. Really? I'm curious. It is. I'm not sure I'm going to have to try that, but the problem is that I'd have to go by quick. Okay, there's a couple different things that just came up there. First of all, we don't have a top five cereals in our list of top fives for tonight. Oh, that's a good one. That has to be added, because man, do I love cereals still. Also, hi, Jeff. Welcome to the stream. Was wondering why my sub didn't show up. Freaking Twitch shadow ban went on VPN. I don't know what a shadow ban is. Sounds very technical. But getting back into Guardians of the Galaxy, for new pinball players, I think Total Nuclear Annihilation and Guardians of the Galaxy might be two of the best games out there for new players specifically. They have easy targets to get to. Guardians has theme integration with something most people enjoyed, even if they aren't fans of Marvel. Guardians was still very funny, despite the fact that they didn't get any of the actual voice actors. So assuming that you got the really cool version of the code playing where they replaced all of the call-outs with actual call-outs from the movies. I think that works out well. But after about three months, it's really, really easy to get bored of that game. So I completely understand, guys, when you're talking about it from that perspective of somebody who's obviously decent at pinball. Sure, I get that. If you don't have an established collection, that is a terrible buy. Unless, of course, you're just getting into pinball. If it was somebody's first pinball machine and they were going to have it for six months to a year, I still think it's okay. What if they end up being some kind of a savant? Oh, well, in that case, they would get rid of that game very quickly and probably grab themselves. Okay, Deadpool. No, no, no. You nailed it. Deadpool is a... See, and that's... They're both the same. Deadpool is easy to beat. So is Guardians of the Galaxy. Yeah, but Deadpool is just... It's just better. Deadpool is more fun. There's no question about it. You're banned, but they don't tell you. Oh, I'm Twitch shadow banned. Okay. It means I'm invisible to everyone. You're not invisible to me, Jeff. I know you. You are not invisible. We're here for you. You'll never be invisible to us. I was also talking to Peanut during the countdown. LOL, not. But now I know why you didn't respond. Oh, you were invisible for 10 minutes. Why did you get... Okay, now it's making sense. Why were you shadow banned on Twitch? What did you do? It was the VPN. When you use a VPN, it messes with it. Got it. I had to reverse it. We had to Tarantino that entire thing for me to understand. Got it. Being on a VPN somehow shadow bans you. So, I totally, before we started, rudely cut off Surreal. Surreal, you were saying something that seemed actually really important, but I don't remember what the details of it was. But we were at that point where we were at the end of the intro, so I had to switch over and do the introduction. Surreal, what were you talking about? Oh, I vaguely remember that. That was a while ago, though. That was so long ago. Okay. I don't really remember. Okay. So who's drinking a vodka and Pepsi tonight? Oh, my gosh. Thrill, were you there at all for Mr. Scoot drinking a vodka and Pepsi? No, but I think it was Iron Fox who jumped into my stream and was mentioning something about having to go yell at Scoot for Pepsi. And, I mean, I can't remember if we've talked about this yet. But actually, now that I think about it, we may have been mildly, by we, I was intoxicated, and I think, Dice, you may have been very stoned over the weekend on Saturday. I was stoned for the biblical lady of the night. Okay, okay. So, and it's surreal, maybe you can weigh in on this. Is Pepsi an okay mixer? I think anything that makes alcohol not taste like trash is an okay mixer. Okay, okay. As long as it's not trash. You can even bucket other alcohol into that. I mean, for God's sake, we do, you know, Jager Bombs, which is licorice in beer. It's weird. It creates something else. Also, Iron Fox says it was not them. It was somebody. I didn't get the reference, but I was also inebriated. How are you doing? By the way, just a splash of grenadine. Devon Craves. Oh, no, you can save a whole Australian dollar by switching your region to Australia. Jeff! Oh, we got to turn that up. Oh, you know what? I've got the music playing to System, and System is also where those sounds are coming in. So, yeah. I know what that means, Mal. Yeah. I need to think about how to break those up and have one on music and the other one on system. So sorry. But, Jeff, you're amazing. My hat's off to you. And hire Peanut. Enjoy the sub. Enjoy being a part of the panic room, ad-free viewing, and Dice. What's that last thing? Though shall we be both. Thank you. Jeff just threw a primer our direction. I remembered the name. Thank you again, Jeff. My two hats off. If I was wearing two hats, I would have taken them both off just then. Also, I am out of tonic. What are you gentlemen drinking this evening? I'm kind of going through the beer Ferris wheel tonight. I'm currently drinking a Shiner. I've got some Imperial IPA, some Polinar Oktoberfest, and some Polinar... I forget what it is. It's the IPA of Polinars. The IPA of Polymers? Like plastic? No, Polinar. Oh, Polinar. Is it Aventor? No. Hold on. Hill Hills is here with 57 people. This is important. Salvatore. That's what it is. Salvatore. That's awesome. Also, Joe Hills, you're amazing. Thank you for dropping 57 beautiful people on us. I think we just got two follows. Badger Spanner and Yo-Yo or something like that. Thank you both. Joe Hills, my hat's off to you. And howdy, y'all. Joe Hills raid here. Spidey saves the day also with the follow. What is that notification for right there? oh Mr. Hardlock just resubscribed to tier one five months it's a what it's a hardlock life Mr. Hardlock life yes wow huge number of follows Mr. Hardlock oh wow another I'm just going to go get some tonic I'll be right back if you don't have tonic you can use pepsi well played mr surreal that that's gonna get clipped and sent immediately to mr scoot ping the net good evening yo yo or something like that welcome to the stream um and now i am here again with the raid says devon craves rose wolf welcome to the stream and we are close to a hype train at this point wow okay so cheers we're gonna get started but Oh, my God. Shaolin Bomb just subscribed with a primer. And we hit a gravy train or a, sorry, something train. What's this train called? Hype Train. Hype Train. That's what it is. Joe Hills with the cool whistle. Hype Train. Joe Hills, how are you feeling on Guardians of the Galaxy? Fantastic. Yeah? George, I am loving it. Yeah, so I did four rounds of practicing all eight missions in the order that we're going to do them on Thursday for the contest. I don't know if you mentioned this to your viewers already, but George is running a competition between me and Manu on Thursday on the Pinball Network channel, and I am hype about it. And after that, I said, I'm going to do one round where I just shoot for score to see if we do just all-out score round, if my strategy will hold up. And, yeah, I managed to get a cherry bump multiball on that one round. Really? The one round that I was actually doing for score. So I'm feeling pretty good. I think I got a shot on Thursday. I am excited. And more than that, Joe Ailes came up with kind of an interesting way to do scoring where I'm excited, actually, for the format on this, where it's more of like eight or ten different objectives, but they have multiple ways to obtain points. So you end up with a higher scoring game, and only some of those points are directly competitive with one another, meaning you can achieve points just for hitting the objective, but some of them are going to be points if you beat the other person. I'm really excited about this. Yeah, well, the thing is, Guardians is unique or very interesting or uncommon in that it has these eight modes you can choose when you start out. And so saying, we're going to see who can do the best in each of the eight modes. We're going to have a head-to-head race between Joe and Manu in all eight modes. You get credit for partial progress. You get credit for completing it, even if you're not first. But you really want to win that race. You want to be the first to complete that mode, because that's where the real points are, you know? Yeah. And I am excited, because you know what? Manu has a lot of pinball experience. He's been doing this a long time. But you know what? I've been playing a lot of Guardians of the Galaxy over the last month and a half, so I might have a shot, you know? Okay. I'm excited. The fact that you made it to Cherry Bomb Multiball, that's not insignificant. No, I am super hyped. I'm still riding that high. It was a really good stream. So thanks to everybody who came over with the raid. I appreciate you all hanging out. It's just so fantastic to do something a little different and to have a little fun, you know? Yeah, absolutely. and I had not made any announcements about this Thursday but but yeah so really fun we've got a battle tomorrow with Frisco Pinball and then on the Pinball Network channel that's twitch.tv slash pinball network Manu aka MPT3K and Joe Hills will be battling on Thursday and I get to host and commentate on that one I'm so excited oh somebody just did something that is Iron Fox just subscribed. It's year one. Also, Kraken USA coming in with that follow. Iron Fox, you are amazing. Thank you so much. I can almost match up perfectly. And I'm now consistently wearing black shirts. So it just works out where it looks like I could be Gilbert Gottfried for a couple seconds. Wow. You could be Iago from Aladdin for Halloween. And nobody would have had an eye. I like that. Also, my daughter would absolutely love it. We have been watching. Is there a person in history that hopes that he looks like Gilbert Gottfried? That's a good point. I don't. For that moment, I hoped I looked like Gilbert Gottfried, right? Like, I don't actually want to look like Gilbert Gottfried. That's fine. I'll take, surprisingly, I'll take me over Gilbert. So, while I got you guys on, we have kind of a fun night of now 11 different top five lists. Dice, I'm not sure if you have access to the list that I threw into the chat. I'm looking at it right now. Awesome. Can you give us the first of the top five before we get started? I'm slurring already, by the way. That's how much alcohol I've had. I really hope this stream does not go downhill. Question number one. Top five movie remakes. Ha, ha, ha. Nicely done. Okay, so this would be a list of potentially your top five favorite movie remakes. And not that we independently have to go around, maybe just come up with our collective top five movie remakes. And it doesn't have to be like an old movie to new movie. It could be a television show that got turned into a movie or something, but a new one. How rigid is the format? Because I don't know that I can, I didn't come in with five of these ranked. so like but I the one that jumps out at me have you seen heaven can wait the um war and beatty version no I only saw the one with crocodile dundee oh okay because yeah heaven can wait with war and beatty um is about a uh football player who gets hit by a car and he gets put in the body of an old rich guy and he wants to train to be a football player again and it's a remake of the same concept, but about a boxer from, like, the 1940s, but redone in the 70s. And I think it's one of the better movies to come out of the 70s, partially because the character is a health nut who does all of these things that everyone thinks are insane, but that just every human does now. Because, like, they're all things that were proven right. And so the movie has aged really well because of how weird people think the guy is. For me, I'm like, you know, soda's not the healthiest thing. You know, there's a lot of smoking and stuff like that. Okay, okay. Unexpected, but I like that. And I'm so happy I've actually seen the newer, I guess, newer version. Nothing newer than the one with the actor who played Crocodile Dundee, whose name I can't think of right now. Is there a newer version that's been done all over? Yeah, thank you. Nothing newer than that one, right? um am i even thinking of the right movie now suddenly i want to go to google almost an angel yes totally different but kind of the same he's given a second chance but i think his body looks different or something i'm so sorry that's yeah no i mean it's a very similar concept and i think that there was a modern remake though where a rapper and i don't remember which one gets killed and then becomes this old white millionaire, and he wants to get back into rap. And so instead of training his body to compete at football, he's trying to rebuild his brand, but as this old white guy. But I never actually saw that one. Huh. Okay. That's a good one. Do either of you guys have a favorite remake, then, to reel or dice? Hmm. See, that's something I'm waiting for. I thought of a couple, but a dice has got a couple. can go ahead. I'm struggling very much with this question. This isn't a full remake yet, but I thought that the most recent Dune was excellent. Okay. I did not like the original at all, with the whispering Paul Atreides, as opposed to... It was very much a... You're supposed to show, don't tell. And the older version was very much a tell, not showing. what's kind of happening inside of Paul's head as he's thinking through things. It just seemed like a bad hack, I guess. It took me probably 30 years to figure out what was going on because I didn't read the books, you know. Right. I thought that that was good. And the other one that immediately came to mind was Bedazzled with Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Neil Fraser. Brendan Neil Fraser, yeah. I love that movie. And if you have not seen the outtakes on the DVD, they did a whole, you know, it goes through the six different lives or whatever, and each one of them is messed up and he has to restart. They have another one where he's a rock star that's on the deleted scenes on the DVD, and it is hilarious. I didn't see the deleted scenes, but I did really enjoy that movie. Hold on, before Dice, you go. I got to catch up. So does Serenity count? Serenity is kind of interesting, right? Because Serenity was paid for somewhat a percentage of it by the community because what they wanted was a finish to the series. so it's not so much a remake as like a succinct retelling to catch people up with the ending and then finally an ending that that that went the direction that um I can't remember the the writer slash director's name off the top my head right now who also did Avengers um but it was the ending that he kind of wanted to give the television show before Fox canceled it so I guess it may technically count, and I'm not trying to be overly, I guess, like a rule monger on what counts as a remake, but I am going to go ahead and call out Pinsomniac's Tron. Unless there's a Tron before the original Tron, Tron Legacy is a continuation of the story, not a remake. Snap. Having said that, The second Tron, we were even talking about this, I think, last night. I love that movie. For no other reason, you get to listen to Daft Punk for two hours. It's great. I love that soundtrack. The movie is great. The video game is great. I'm sorry, the pinball machine is great. I have definitely grown to really appreciate that. Now, Dice, what do you got for us? Oh, Dread. That one's pretty good, too. I agree with Taylor. Wait a second. We're struggling with this. I think I'm going to go with Francis Ford Coppola's interpretation of Bram Stoker's Dracula from the 90s. Dang it, that was going to be my next one. I completely second this. That is a fantastic one. I actually really like that one, too. That says a lot. Okay, I'm going to get crap for this. I can tell right now, but it's a remake of a television series called Baywatch. The one with Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron? Yeah, the one with Zac Efron. I haven't heard of that one. What's it about? It's Baywatch the television series redone as a movie with The Rock and Zac Efron, and it's hilarious. I never really got into the television show enough to maybe experience the eye candy as a kid and feel like I was watching something that I shouldn't have. But the movie with The Rock, it hit on so many different levels. I really, really appreciated what it was attempting to do and make new, and I just love The Rock and pretty much everything he does. Yeah, Fassler is Fassler. The name of our Lord and Savior, David Hasselhoff. but David Hasselhoff was in it that's the thing that was Pamela Anderson like they both show up in the film and Hasselhoff has like a pivotal role he had a pivotal role in the Spongebob movie what's your point I never saw the Spongebob movie you know the Flight of the Conchords not Flight of the Conchords what we do in the shadows the other New Zealand thing I don't know if this counts as a remake because it's going from a movie to a TV format. But the first few episodes of the TV show are basically just redoing the movie, but then once you get past that into season two and three, it is ludicrously good. I have heard from so many people that it's very, very good. It's worth watching. Okay, okay. I never made it. I thought of another controversial one. I'm going to throw out Evil Dead 2. I will argue with you that Evil Dead 2 is the exact remake of Evil Dead 1. With a higher budget. Yes. I will give that the groovy seal of approval. Okay. I guess my second one I like that. is technically a remake of a story. I'm going to go Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? Ooh, that's a good one. Ooh. I really like that movie. What is it a remake of? Obviously another movie called Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? No, it's a remake of The Odyssey. Well, it's being That's why they open which thing to me amuse of a man, blah, blah, blah. Like, it's literally quoting the original book, which was originally like a song. Well, okay. If we're going to say that, then every Shakespearean play ever that has made its way into a movie would be a remake, right? Well, we said Dracula. That's fair. I think that Dracula and Prince of Dracula I think that's right. 90s Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio. Thank you very much. Dang it, that was on my list, too. Dr. Michael, is that one? I love the one with Leonardo DiCaprio. It's so good. But that's... Wait, wait, wait. Is O Brother or Arthur... Sorry. Is there a movie that does the Odyssey? Like, what... I'm assuming there's some old... That's O Brother or Arthur. That's a movie that does the Odyssey. And, you know, by the same token, I would say that my favorite film remake of the Iliad is Face Off. I really like the part where he chases the guy around the city at the end three times and then kills him with a spear. Nicholas Cage really nails it. I could eat a cage for hours. Oh, my God. That's the quote you went with on that. Oh, my God. I'd like to point out, there's a reason the characters are named Castor and Pollux Troy. It's literally a retelling of the Iliad with Nicholas Cage swapping faces with John Travolta. It's fantastic. In terms of Homer, the best Iliad is definitely face-off, And the best Odyssey is definitely Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? One adapted film. But what other film has done the Odyssey? I guess is what I want to get to. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? Like, is there something else that's done the Iliad and faced off as a remake? Or you could say then as a remake as opposed to just a narrative transition from book to movie? I thought you said narrative transitions counted. At the beginning of this, you said if it's an adaptation from a book to a movie, that's a remake. Isn't the movie Troy literally one of those two? Troy is literally just a direct adaptation. They didn't take as much interesting liberty with it. Yeah, so there you go. There's your remake. If I said book, it was a total mistake. I meant to say television show. You could go from TV to movie or movie to TV, but not. Because the book opens it up so drastically, right? Like at that point you could say Harry Potter the movie is a remake of Harry Potter the book. it starts to get a little either way though I'm just at this point mind blown A I've never read the Iliad which I need to apparently go back and read because I love the Odyssey and caught that in O Brother Where Art Thou but I did not know that Face Off was a reference to the retelling of Iliad how cool is that oh it's wild so if you actually and the other thing about the Iliad that you gotta keep in mind is that there are certain parts of it where you're reading it and you're like what purpose does this serve the story. Like, oh, we're going to list where all these ships came from. But the reason you do that is he's listing all the groups of people that would be in the room at the party. We had three ships from Phoenicia! And then all the Phoenicians in the house were like, yeah! And then there were two ships from here, and then everybody was like, woo! And you're just like, this is a really long list of ships. I don't get what the appeal is. But for those people getting shouted out, they were hype about that. That was cool to them. That's really interesting. I like that. Huh. Okay. So, that was our first top five. I think we got at least five movies there, right? Definitely. Oh, is Manu jumping in? Is Manu here? Looks like he's trying. He was asking. Oh my god, Manu, get in here! All right, I need to get this up and over. We just added him to the group, so we're just waiting for him to pop in. Okay. There may be some technical difficulties. And now he's gone. Do you want to space these out, George, or do you just want to keep running down the list? Let's just keep running down the list. We technically got 11 since we can add the cereals, and we'll probably come up with another dozen after that. Number two, your top five frozen pizzas. Now, I have a question about this. Are we going brand or actually type? Brand, specifically. Okay. Jax? We need to go perfect brachiosaurus. Okay. All right. Yours was jack. I just want to look at me, but there's one that I really enjoy called Latsa Matza. It is possibly the cheesiest pizza I've ever eaten in my life. You won't crap for a week. Arthur Pendragon, it is top five, I should say top five favorite frozen pizzas. I know I only said pizza, but it's specifically frozen pizzas. And I got to go Totino's. There's probably a three-year span with that. I remember budgeting 10 pizza purchases per week because they were 10 for $10 at King Soopers. I had a similar phase, and I was staying with somebody who was training to be a doctor, and she pulls one out of the fridge, and she's like, do you see how many grams of trans fat are in each serving of these? And you eat an entire one a day. And I'm like, well, but, like, it's less trans fat than some other foods. and she's just like, any amount of trans fat will kill you. This is how people as skinny as you die of heart attacks. This is stuff like this. And so I kind of laid off for a while after that. But I actually do have some strong opinions on frozen pizza. For one thing, a shout out, I have tried about 12 different brands of gluten-free pizza because both my girlfriend and my father cannot have gluten. Me too. And the best out of all of them, regardless of press point or whatever, You go to Costco and you get the, it's called like Sabatassos or something. And the trick to their thing was they didn't necessarily just get a pretty good tasting crust, but they also said, let's make the crust as thin as possible and double the cheese and sauce. And so instead of being like, oh, man, the crust on this is kind of rough, you're just like, oh, man, this cheese and sauce is great, you know. And they only have cheese, unfortunately, at Costco. But what you can do is you just buy a bunch of meat because you're already at the grocery store, chop up whatever meats you want, throw them on top, put them in the oven, and you've got a sausage pizza or whatever. Pepperoni, hey, you're done. So that's going to be my top for gluten-free. Since I'm not celiac, I can have whatever. And there's a brand that has, like, mustaches on the box. And, like, you can punch up the mustache, and your kids can put it in their nose and go around with it. I forget the name of it, though. It's like Screeming and Mike's or something like that. Yeah. I bet if I Google Petra Mustache, that's the one that's actually my personal favorite. Screeming and Cecilion. There you go. That's it. Yeah. Yeah, the Screeming and Cecilion is good. Also, I thought one of those groceries near me would only have the cheese, but once again, I'd rather throw fresh meat on top of them anyway, so it's fine. Okay. Dice, do you have any particular favorite? Oh, wait, you already mentioned yours, right? Yeah, Surreal's up. Surreal's up. Surreal, it's up to you. Also, shout out to DiGiorno's. I've been trying to figure out what this top five is because I wasn't paying attention when we started. You know that guy in the meeting when they get called on, it's like, I'm sorry, I was multitasking. Could you please repeat the question? Surreal, there is nowhere near that level of requirement that you be paying attention. So to reiterate, it is your favorite frozen pizza brand. Well, I guess I have two. Both of them are sort of a big and small version of the same thing. I like Tostino's pizza rolls quite a bit. Oh, man. And I will also chomp down on a Hot Pocket from time to time, even though it's a Pop-Tart filled with nasty meat. So says Jim Gaffigan. Go team trans fat. Sure. Okay, cool. I guess I'll go with extra trans fat and extra gluten. Also, I know that this is going to come up because I've seen the list. I would also throw Hot Pockets on the hangover slash drunk food because, you know, no matter how drunk you get, You can still put a hot pack in the microwave for three minutes I was really hoping you were going to throw that into your top five window cleaners Oh I was going to say like that really interesting surreal because, like, it sounds like you only get drunk around places where there's electricity. Because I got to say, getting a good bag of beef jerky, that's always nice. I'll get drunk anywhere. Yeah, there you go. Okay, okay. So I think we've got our pizzas in. I also like that you did go surreal instead of pizza. You went with Hot Pockets. I've had probably a couple hundred Hot Pockets in my time. Well, yeah, the flavor of Hot Pocket that I happen to have downstairs right now is pizza. Okay. Damn, that sounds good right now. I'm all about the Philly cheesesteak Hot Pocket with the croissant crust. man, if my stomach could ever have, like, even before I knew that I was, I had issues with dairy and gluten, if my stomach could have known at that point, it, like, I knew something was, was problematic. MPT3K, no worry, pals, uh, no worries, pals, I was going to jump on chat and mess with Joe for Thursday's battle, but I'm off to bed. MPT3K, I'm so sorry you couldn't, uh, you couldn't join us. We have lots of great questions. Also, Goran, hi, welcome. Hello. Welcome, Goran. Yeah, so, uh, normally I would be like, yeah, you know, I gotta skate too, because I got kids just like Manu, but we've got a two-hour snow delay tomorrow. Oh. Yeah. I told my daughter, I was like, okay, let's do a little bit of math. School starts two hours later than usual. If I normally set my alarm for 7-15, when should I set it now? And she's just like, 8-15, and then you can make me bacon. And I'm like, 9-15, and you can have me bacon. You can make me bacon. She just had a three-day weekend of hot breakfast. you know, need. Yep. Yeah. Did anybody else on Friday not realize that it was a three-day weekend? That was like the greatest gift ever. Nope, I knew. I had to let all of my developers know that they should not try to come into the office on Monday. Yeah, I found out in our stand-up that nobody was coming into the office on Monday. Not that I go into the office anymore, but. Yeah, whatever the virtual version of that is. Nonetheless, it was a nice treat. You guys don't have to go into the hangout. Yeah. Now when I go into the office, it's for about a half hour to pick something up. It's because their bathrooms are so much nicer. It's true, now that nobody's using them. All right. Tech question. How are you all doing voice chat through Discord? Yes, ArthurPinDragon. using discord for this and for tomorrow and thursday's battles we'll also be using discord as well if you uh um and uh if you upgrade to nitro boosted on discord you can actually stream to each other your desktop or a projector of obs uh at 1080 at 60 frames per second So I can take that video then and do a really simple capture, cut and paste, and break up individually all the three different sections of a play field, a player cam, and the LCD and have complete control over where those are in the stream and the ability to resize and kind of move those around independently. so it's worked out really really well and on top of that it keeps audio and video in sync at all times across everyone who's streaming me video and across obviously individually all their own components which is great i had to get work done today my boss is the total jerk gordon i'm so sorry wasn't a three-day weekend for sexy i'm so sorry again but killing it on tmnt and Joshua Clay in case you missed the joke there, George, Gorin's self-employed. Oh, I did miss the joke. Absolutely. I like that. Okay. So that we did not get any, any additional, uh, I think whatever you call these things, achievements. What we're trying to do tonight, by the way, is not only go through top fives, but also work through stern achievements. And we're still at 45 of 90. So what are we focusing on right now. We can go, I need perfect paddocks on Brachiosaurus, Compi, which is going to be going up the right side, Gallimimus, and wow, we haven't even been to Pteranodon. So I need to, I need to focus on, on perfect paddocks. I think that's an easy one to get to. So let's do that. And I also downloaded a cool new start scrolling, uh, Google Chrome attachments. you can actually see the achievements just slowly scrolling down as we're streaming. Oh, and to do that, I also need to be signed in. That's another big component of this. Dice, what is our next question? Something I really don't have that strong of an opinion about, so I'll let these guys take the gun on this one, but it's your top five window or surface cleaners. Something I have absolutely zero passion for. I am ridiculously passionate about this. Bartender's Helper? Is that what it's called? Yeah. That sounds amazing. It's like Comet. It is amazing. I know exactly what you're talking about. I was thinking more of, like, everyday use stuff, but, you know, whatever. Joe, do you have any thoughts on this? I mean, this is not something I have any real thoughts on. Like, I use, like, Clorox wipes for most things and Windex for glass. I've been terrified to do much cleaning of the pinball machine because I don't want to, like, accidentally use the wrong thing. But I'm sure that there's, like, some specialized, like, pinball glass. Because I've seen, like, Manu has that animation where he, like, sprays some foaming agents or something. What is that? Do you know? Yeah. So you do not want to use a glass cleaner that has ammonia in it. Assuming that you have HD or any of the really good glass in the game, your Guardians of the Galaxy does not, I think, have the really nice glass in it, so you don't have to worry about it. But in general, think of it like when Safe Flight comes and replaces the glass on your, the windshield on your car, they almost always leave you with a cleaner. It's that kind of stuff. Yeah, I've been using the, I don't even know what it's called, but I've got some really good coating on my glasses for anti-glare stuff because I've got a lot of lights when I stream, right? And, like, that coating alone cost me an extra $100, and they gave me a special cleaning agent to spray on the glasses. That's what I've been using on the pinball machine because I'm like, if it's good enough for these glasses, it's probably good enough for that. But, yeah, I don't know. I don't know what brand it is. It's just what my optometrist gave me, you know? Okay. And then for me, I have to go all out and find 409. I love it. I don't know why, but I feel safer knowing that 409 is being used on all my surfaces. I don't feel that scrubbing bubbles. Oh, you're talking about for, like, bathrooms, right? All right, that's Brachiosaurus Perfect Paddock. That should be a trigger. Where is it? There should be an achievement for a perfect haddock on Brachiosaurus. Fine. Game. I'm missing how George has had this thing for such a short amount of time, and he used to play, you know, not for achievement, just for the love of the game, and now he doesn't get one achievement. He's so mad about it. You know, George, what you really need, you need to be writing these down. You need to be writing a letter. Dear Stern, I have been playing your Jurassic Park game, and I had some feedback about possible future achievements to add in your next revision. For example, the Brachiosaurus pen is difficult to do perfectly. It would be a great achievement if somebody accomplished that. Love, George from Colorado. Do you think George from Colorado is really, like, specific enough? I mean, Stern loves letters like that, I'm sure. Oh, Bill from Memphis says... So, can I call to action for everyone in chat to write them that letter? That... We could get all these signatures. Interesting. So, Carl D. found some quirk. This is from Bill from Memphis about getting credit for Perfect Paddocks. He can tell you what it is. So, that's what's interesting. I was really surprised to find out that I could get credit for getting a Perfect Paddock after I had completed it. Right? Which is what just happened. I completed the paddock, and then I got enough rescues, and it said, perfect brachiosaurus paddock afterwards. I'm guessing that's broken software, and what I need to do is get a perfect paddock before completing brachiosaurus. So we should focus on that, and by we, I mean me. The royal we. The royal we. Okay. Okay. Let's see if we can hit this right ramp on the fly Totally got it Oh, I realize I never told you what I was drinking tonight, George Because we got raided Oh yeah, that's right What are you drinking? I am currently working my way through one of five cases of Yingling Because my next door neighbor just went to North Carolina And I watched his cat while he was away So he brought me back a ton of Yingling Okay Is it a good deal? Yeah, it is a good deal. I like Robert Englunds. I'm going to bite from Miller Lite here. It's less growing and it tastes great. Oh, no. Hey, Alan. Hey, Alan. I trust you brought enough tequila for everybody. Okay, surface cleaner figured out. Dice, what's our next one? Number four is definitely something I can chirp about. The top five things you're a germaphobe about. People that don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. People that don't cover their mouth when coughing or sneezing. Going to an all-you-can-eat buffet, seeing one of the servers with a tray of food they're about to put out, drop some of the food, put it back on the plate, and then put it on the tray. I've seen that happen. That is... Oh my gosh. That is disgusting. that's gag worthy. Yeah, that's awful. Oh my god, Dexy was drinking Pepsi and vodka earlier. I love, mind you, that that is becoming a thing that we all need to point out. I'm so sorry, Dr. Mr. Scoot. Nick's right, I could just stop it going to an all-you-can-eat buffet. But it was an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet and for like $6.50 it's a hell of a deal. Provided you know they didn't drop it on the floor. Okay, surreal, Do you have any, do you have a thing? Like, is there a surreal cleanliness thing that really gets your goat? I think it's probably every publicly accessible toilet, because they're all wet and stinky. I don't know. That's pretty true. Not a fan. All of them are like somebody went swimming and got the water everywhere but in the toilet. Yeah, or that, you know, they're peeing for the first time and don't know how to aim. How did you shit on the wall? It's like you didn't even try to get it in. Yeah. God forbid there's shit on the wall somehow. I don't know. I have nightmares about public restrooms. And I don't mind going to a urinal. All about that. but as soon as I have to do the dirty business, it's no fun. All right, Joe, what do you got? I don't know. You and Surreal were pretty thorough. I have a lot to add. All right, George. Touching other people's cell phones. Like, yeah. That bothers me. My bartender hands me my drink using the top third of the glass. Yeah, that'll do it. Yep. I'll allow it if they gave me a straw. I was at a bowling alley once, and I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, and the bacon had skin on it, so that was pretty gross. Okay, okay. It didn't happen to me, but I'd really rather that didn't happen to anybody. Yeah, I don't think anybody deserves that. Nobody has been that evil. And yet. Surreal, what evil have you done in a past life to, or what have you wrought? I don't know what is the skin on bacon punishment that must be written in literature somewhere okay is that one of Dante's hells that's the 10th level you get as much bacon as you want but it always has skin on it you can also swap it out for pudding when you talk about skin or is that different from like the rind on on bacon uh yeah it's like when you can see pores and places where hair used to be i'm out okay all right we're on to your top five home automation systems okay uh well i have both Google Home and Alexa, but those are the only two that I've got. Wait, what is a home automation system? Is that like a laundry machine? I have a laundry machine and a dryer. Um, something, let's say you talk to to tell it to do things for you, maybe. And, yeah, I'm thinking of... I mean, I have an eight-year-old, but she doesn't do any of that. You're in charge of the apartment. I was about to say, I have a roommate. Yeah, I'm going with Google Home and the Alexa. Oh, Devin Crotty says Internet of Things devices. I don't trust those. There's no amount of convenience that's worth it to me. I mean, like, I have, like, remote-controlled candles, but there's, like, the remote is a separate physical device that doesn't connect to the Internet. it's just got infrared, and it turns the candles on and off. Like, does that count? Sure. Yeah, I think that counts. Oh, no. Because, like, before that, I couldn't, like, turn the lights on and off in my bedroom from my bed, and now I can. Okay, yeah. You could use a really long stick. I mean, I could have. I actually have a whole bunch of, like, curtain rods from my previous apartment down in the closet that I can pull out. Hey, the Pinball Network is rating with 14 people. We just got rated! Yes! Pinball Network, thank you! I think Frisco Pinball was streaming over there. Howdy. That was definitely Frisco Pinball. Frisco was also practicing. I'm just going to throw it out there. He was practicing on Godzilla for our battle tomorrow night. Which I have not played at all. Hi, Frisco. Thank you so much. My hat's off to you, sir. And I hope your stream is... I'm sorry? This was something I wanted to ask earlier, George, and now that they're here, maybe we can get an answer. When are we going to get a TPN VPN? A TPN VPN? Unless you watch your favorite pinball streamers, regardless of where you are around the globe. I think there's a market for that. At least everybody in here. And it won't shadow ban you. And no shadow banning TPN VPN. Got it. Surreal, did you have any thoughts on the automation system? I'm not even sure that I can think of five. We have echoes around. I've built some IoT devices, but none of them are voice activated. Okay. I don't know. you don't know I'm really liking Google right now for home automation it's because I feel like I have those big LCD screens all over the place and one of the coolest things I have I now have three floors I have a basement a main floor and a second floor where our rooms are and Zoe spends a lot of time in her room and Joe you might find this helpful there's a concept to say hey Google and then you say broadcast and whatever you say goes out to every other device in the house. So I can say something like broadcast dinner's ready and if Zoe's downstairs playing by the television or if she's in her room, she gets the message and it automatically prompts her to reply and say something like I'll be downstairs in a minute or something along those lines. So that's been fun and she loves it on top of everything else. That's cool. Well, I just don't have maybe as large an apartment to actually, like, warrant that, if that makes any sense. Oh, my, totally. I just moved out of 750 square feet, so I totally get what you're saying there. Yeah, because it's one of those things, like, when we had, when our daughter was born, people were asking us, like, what baby monitor are you using? And we're like, why? It's like a 600-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment. It's practically a studio. We don't need a baby monitor. And, I mean, the place I'm in now is larger, but, like, yeah, basically, I could, yeah, I don't really have any problem contacting her. What is fun, though, is if she's watching my stream and I'm like, hey, can you bring me up a Gatorade or something? And she's just like, you're not paying me for that. You're living here rent free. I am paying for this. Yeah. Well, but the thing is, you know, if I'm creating entertainment value from asking her for things, you know, that's not fair to her. Oh, interesting, because it's a part of the stream? If it's part of the stream where I'm like, hey, bring me a Gatorade, and she's just like, I'm not going to make your stream funnier by bringing you a Gatorade. It's your job to be funny. Okay. She doesn't express it that succinctly, but we don't have time for it. Here's how an eight-year-old reasons through this. I like it, though. All right, number seven. I definitely have something to say about this. Your top five movies with The Rock in it. Gotta go Walking Tall. Why would you want me? Okay, because there's an amazing thing where he just does a Danny DeVito impression for two hours, and that's really all you need. Because it's The Rock playing Danny DeVito. It's basically face-off into Manji, but with two more likable people. Yes. And Nicolas Ging is already pretty likable, so I love it. I feel like they do really like it. Moana. Yeah, I'd almost go Moana on this one. Wow, no love for Walkin' Paul? Well, I said almost. I do like Walking Tall, don't get me wrong, but it's got to go to the rundown. Who has not wanted to see Johnny Knoxville at one point get stabbed with a potato peel? The rundown. It's got to be the rundown. For me, at least. The rundown is still, to this day, one of my favorite films of all time, and I love it. Central Intelligence. Ooh, that was really well done, and started the bromance, I think, between Kevin Hart and Dwayne, what's his name? Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Sexy doesn't know the rundown. Oh, sexy. It's Dwayne Johnson and Christopher Walken. And Sean Patrick William Scott. Okay, we can throw him in there, too. Oh, come on. He makes it great. And also the girl who plays Estoka, Tano. George, for the last 25 years, he's been Stifler. Okay, I'm fine with calling him Stifler. In fact, that's his name. On his resume, it shows up in the game. By the way, if you're watching right now and you're like, I don't understand what George is doing, I'm trying to get a perfect paddock, which really requires you to play the game a little bit differently. How do I get my bonus higher on this? You play the game. Does anybody else remember that moment with Escher? On Godzilla? They thought it was funny. George was asking Escher how to get his bonus higher, and Escher's like, you play the game, George. You just play the game. Stifler's mom's son, that guy. Ice-Kidoo, welcome to the stream. Faye, welcome to the stream. I skied to Redundant Much Redundant It was mom's song Welcome to the office of redundancy office I kind of like that Real you have any takes on this I thought Escape from Alcatraz Was pretty good I did not see that one Escape from Alcatraz Yeah with Clint Eastwood This might be too deep a cut You know, because it has Alcatraz in it, which is the rock. Oh! I'll see myself out. Oh, really? And I was about to talk about how much I love Skyscraper. Have you actually seen Skyscraper? I thought it was a very enjoyable, dumb popcorn action movie. I liked Reno 911 Did you see their new special? No It's Reno 911 The search for QAnon Alright I'm in It's uh I believe it's either on HBO Max or Paramount Plus But it's worth checking out It's very funny Thank you Zexy By the way, George, at some point, I have a Discord overlay showing on my screen just so that you can see who is talking, which you might be interested in. I don't know what that means, to see who is talking. It just means, like, Discord has written this already, and you can capture it in OBS. and it'll show, it'll just light up who is talking at any given time. Got it. I do kind of like that. I want to know which flipper bands you're using, George. These are, guys, help me out. What are these called? Oh, no, never called these. Titans, yes. So these are Titans. Which actually really, I really do like Titans. Are there any rock movies you have not mentioned, George? Wait, not mentioned or that I think... Yeah, to bring to the table before we close this one off. No, no. For me, it is... Well, I mean, how can I say that one of the best remakes of all time is... Shoot, what's the name of that? Thank you, George. I'm playing pinball. I can't think of words that the Baywatch is the best, one of the best remakes of all time and not bring it to the table. But I still got to go Rundown. The Rundown is one of The Rock's first movies, and it so perfectly captured his essence and persona. Jumanji is great. Don't get me wrong. It's an awesome movie. The sequel, not quite as much, in my opinion, but it was good. This is good. Danny DeVito's stuff is in the second one, though. It is. There's some great moments. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it's necessarily a perfect movie by any means, but in terms of The Rock's performances, if that's what we're going by, The Rock as Danny DeVito is, in my opinion, one of his single greatest theatrical performances. You could also... Mr. Vodka and Pepsi Scoot is in here. Yes! No Pepsi. I don't even own Pepsi at this point, Mr. Scoot. That's how much of a fan I am, not of Pepsi. I maintain that I'm on team Scoot as far as that goes because anything that makes alcohol taste better is a good mixer there you go, well you know what George actually I've got to start getting cleaned up for the night working on the kitchen and stuff but thank you so much for having me as a guest this was a fantastic time thank you so much for hanging out with us and everyone not only follow Joe Hills because he's amazing and honestly has, in my opinion, some of the best early morning streams ever. Especially if you just like, for me, it's just on in the background while you're like chatting amiably with really cool people doing fun things. But Joe Hills will be battling this Thursday on twitch.tv slash pinball network mpt3k. And I think it's going to be a lot of fun. This will be on Guardians of the Galaxy. It's at 8pm Mountain Time. I'm really looking forward to it because I get to moderate slash commentate on these two streaming giants battling each other on arguably one of the cooler pinball games out there right now. Thank you so much for hanging out. Thank you for organizing that. Yeah. I'm just happy to be a part of it at this point, so thank you. Cheers. Cheers. And keep adventuring, Surreal, Dice, and everybody out there in the chat. Have a good night. Have a good night. That bench. Icekey-Doo has rejoined the land of the sane, and tonight it's vodka and lemonade. Oh, vodka and lemonade. Excellent. And I'm drinking... Not Icekey-Doo. Not Icekey-Doo. Oh, yeah. Sorry. I read Mr. Scoot at the same time. Tonight it's lemonade and vodka tonight. Together. Together we'll drink vodka and lemonade together. Very much. Only the finest 7-Eleven branded lemonade. Awesome. And I've got Aviation Gin, the very last little bit of Aviation, along with some Grenadine, a healthy splash of Grenadine, and some tonic water. We've got one more of these. I just gave you, you can be in bed and still drink. Those are not mutually exclusive. Now, you have a T-Rex with 9 BAU, T-Full Theopel. The Living Arcade! so much better than the dead arcade living arcade bringing nine beautiful people into the stream uh nope i almost hit intro living arcade my my hats off to you welcome to the stream thank you so much and if you're just joining us we are achievement hunting on jurassic park i have allowed this to time out uh pb pb undesirable. Stephen, welcome to the stream. How about the Undead Arcade? I could definitely get in for the Undead Arcade. Living Arcade, though, what were you streaming tonight? And Dice, what was the last top five list that we had worked on before Joe Hills left? Top five movies with Dwayne the Hrock Johnson. The Hrock Johnson. So we had The Rundown, we had Jumanji. Dice, which one was yours? Oh. Walking Tall. Walking Tall. And Skyscraper. And Skyscraper. Wait, was Surreal's with Skyscraper? Oh, wait, no, yours was that. Uh, Surreal, what was yours? What was yours? Well, I said Reno 911, I guess. I'm sorry, the Ra- oh, because of the, I remember now. No, no, no, that was the other joke that went over so squirmingly that I'm glad we're revisiting again. Arthur Pindragon went Journey to the Center of the Earth 2, which I have not seen. Pinball and Desirables, going with Moana. Actually, Moana came up, and I'm right there with you. I have just seen Moana so many times. Which one? Oh, Pain and Gain? No, that was a dark comedy, and it hit a level, like, it was funny for a short period of time, and then suddenly I I couldn't... I struggled with our comics. Sure, you know that was a true story. But that does nothing for me. I'm the true story stuff. What's the one where he's the tooth fairy? It's called the tooth fairy. Which I went to the theater to go see. I am sorry. Well, it's The Rock. When I talk about it doesn't matter. If The Rock is in it, I will go see it. So you went to the Scorpion thing? No, I didn't actually. Nobody did. Nobody went and saw it. It was so bad. Oh, it was really bad. With prudential ads. Were there prudential ads in Journey 2? Oh, the Netflix original movie Red Notice. Mr. Hardluck. It took me five times to try and finish that movie. How dare you? I was not a fan. On top of, okay. So while we're on the subject, we're just going to, we're just going to break here for a second. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that The Rock is, A, not a great actor. He has not convincingly played any persona besides The Rock. And if you remember what we described as a great actor, you have to convincingly act as three very different personas. Right? So, by no means is The Rock great. I'm also going to continue going even further out on that limb and say that The Rock does not have any sexual chemistry with any person. And I think it's for a good reason. I think The Rock is like in love with his family and with his partner. but there is no movie in which he acts and is supposed to have chemistry with someone else in which it is a believable amount of chemistry. Next year you're going to start saying this about Schwarzenegger. We know he loves his maid. That's a good one. Let's go to Jumanji. Thankfully there is no love interest. Kind of. it's an awkward love interest, which The Rock pulls off amazingly, right? Why is it awkward? Because he's playing a teenager? Yeah, because they're teenagers who are specifically not, are like, DPS gets turned by The Rock, and next thing you know, it's all about how The Rock doesn't have any sexual I love The Rock. I think he is amazing, and I will always go see him. And there's no question, The Rock is on my, like, list of five like, I could break my relationship off if I ever have an opportunity with a guy. It's like Ryan Reynolds, Keanu Reeves, The Rock, and we talked about this recently. I don't know who your top five same-sex people are, but... That's right. That's right. I remember Ewan McGregor from that last conversation. And that guy was about as far as a wet fart in church. It's not that bad. Ewan McGregor's awesome. Ewan McGregor has been in some really, really good movies. It's like I said, I'm pretty sure he'd be polite the entire time. Is the last guy Danny DeVito or Nick Cage sexy? No, absolutely not. You're so right, though. Whenever he got remarried, he's taken. Oh, did he get remarried? Yep. Okay. Mr. Scoot jumped on board, though. You are so right, though. Whenever he has a love interest, it's awkward and just doesn't feel right. Like an action figure came to life. Mr. Scoot, perfect. in Red Notice, that's the most unbelievable part of that movie is that he was, oh I can't say any of that, that's like, it's not it's too recent, I can't give away Red Notice the most unbelievable part of that movie was information redacted and that's all I can say about it I messed up, I am so sorry um but yeah, and also in Jungle Antonio Cruz, like there's obviously supposed to be a connection between Emily Blunt and The Rock and it's non-existent. They are just two people. There is no person you can put opposite Dwayne the Rock Johnson, and they have chemistry. It's really weird. I'm starting to think that I haven't seen most of the Rock movies. I'm trying to think of one, but like you put basically any person alongside Antonio Banderas, and there's chemistry, right? Oh, there you go. Antonio Banderas, number four. Well, yeah. Exactly, right? Right? That's what I'm talking about. Well, yeah. It's Antonio Banderas. Even Jean-Claude Van Damme, who was not a great actor by any means, didn't, like, didn't push people away as an actor, whomever that person opposite them is. Yeah, but he can crush a walnut with his butt. George, the only thing he pushed away was the English language. I gotta get some sleep as much as I love this conversation hey PB Undesirable, Steven have a great night, thank you so much for hanging out and have a good one oh this almost ties into those AV action movie stereotypes, anytime I go mini-golfing George, do you know what I put my name in when they have the digital scorecards what's that? I am golf-wongering that's not bad that's really good though and i just watched creed and creed 2 creed was amazing it was so good creed 2 a little less though but they had to try and do it a second time and there just was there's there's a moment in creed and creed's been out long enough at this point where i can say it but where he's he he like he needs to confirm or validate that he wasn't a mistake and it kind of brought it all together. You were really struggling to understand why this person was doing it, and it made so much sense, and I really wish I had... The first time I'm watching a movie, I relax my brain, I guess, in a way that I find kind of frustrating every once in a while, because I'm like, I should have seen The Sixth Sense, or whatever those twist endings are, and I just don't ever actively try. I just let the experience wash over me, which in some ways I think is great, because I really do get to experience surprises. At the same time, I'm just like, George, you're smarter than that. But really, am I? I'm like Drax's level of an inability to catch jokes or metaphors in things if they're said very well. Ooh, I love this song. I'm just going to turn it up a bit. Top five Matt Damon movies. Top five favorite Matt Damon movies. We have Born Identity, Good Will Hunting. Hey, that's in my top five favorite movies. The Townsend and the Ripley, fantastic movie that no one ever talks about. The Martian, also a really good book. And, oh, The Departed. Talk about just a super group of a cast. It's interesting because The Departed, to me, should never. It was an action flick that won Best Picture. And I think it's just because everything else sucked that year so much. I think it was because it was Scorsese. Or it could be that it was Scorsese. There's a guy who doesn't know how to define what cinema is. I was going to say Team America as well. Scoot. Okay, Team America. Amen. Think of had sexual charisma but super smiley muscles popping out of his sausage casing skin. Brock, it's just weird. Thank you, Alan. Oh, see, Rounders was a really good movie. Ooh, Rounders was so good. You hate. Sorry, who's the friend who keeps getting him into trouble? Edward Norton. Edward Norton was... You hate Edward Norton, who is such an amazing actor. Living Arcade, have a great night. Thank you so much for stopping in. And thanks for the raid. Have a great night. Thank you so much for hanging out Oh Arthur Hindragon also Which one Kung Fu Hustle you know i have to go back and watch that again because uh it was um it was zach and uh dennis were talking a bunch about that and there's certain comedies that i just don't understand it's like over the top puns and silliness, like, from Airplane and Naked Gun that I never enjoyed as a kid. That style of humor, I never found, it never made me laugh out loud. And I guess I can go back now and kind of watch it. Like, I've seen Airplane a few times. The first time I saw it was with Jordan and Becca from Sliptronic, who made me watch it. And there's moments in it that were kind of funny, but it's never been my style of humor and I feel like Kung Fu Hustle was an example of that but specifically in the Kung Fu universe. Oh, T-Black Dogma's a great choice. Ooh, Dogma's really good. Oh, because of Matt Damon's in it. Okay, okay. Oh, I see, too. If we're going favorite Everett Norton roles, I'm going American History X. American History X is amazing. It really is. but what about Primal Fear? Every five years before I feel so uncomfortable I have to put it at the back of my closet. What about Primal Fear? It was the first one. No. No? Or Fight Club? Oh, Game Club Central. You're right there with me. Right there with me, man. Fight Club to this day. I gotta go with Fight Club. I just saw that 20 years ago and it was awesome. I just saw that 20 years ago and it was awesome or the Incredible Hulk one of my favorite film elements was from Fight Club right when she calls him Tyler he's like and we just lost Captain Pressure I am back from sleep disregarding this question alright Dice What's our next question? Ah, your top five hangover foods. Ooh. That's for me. That's a weird one, but I urge everyone to try it if you're not, like, so sick you can't stomach it. A good bowl of chili. Okay. Dude, I was just about to say that. Really? A can of, well, specifically Wolf Brand chili, which is not a good can of chili, but is an adequate one. Wolfberry and chili with beans and some hot sauce. And then something to scoop either Fritos or sleeve of saltines. Wendy's chili all day, says Mr. Scoop. That is three chilies. And I was going to say it had to be a burger with a fried egg on top smothered in barbecue sauce. Oh, my God. That sounds so good, too. We've got a little joke right now. Game Club says, Yeah. Yeah. Higher peanut. Chug Blue Powerade and eat anything microwavable. What? I said Hot Pocket earlier, but I mean, does drunk food count? Because that's usually my go-to after getting a little sauce, and then it's like, well, what can I make? I don't want to actually stand there and cook something, but I can throw something in the microwave and... Oh, Mr. Scoot, pho is a fantastic hangover cure. Look at it, YouTube short. I think that counts. I have a number of really good pho places around here. Pho is a fantastic hangover cure. Oh, Alan, yes, cold fried chicken. Yes, that is an excellent hangover cure as well. Yeah, pretty much anything from Taco Bell is good drunk food. The cheesy gordita crunch. I'm a quesarito guy. I like the quesarito. But I get it with the chip strips, jalapenos, and extra sour cream. Until they stopped making them, I really enjoyed the grilled steak stuffed burritos. Why are they going to bring back my volcano burrito? The Volcano Burrito, huh? Oh, yeah, that was the tips. Is that going to give me the perfect? Yeah, we got a perfect. Potato Burrito. Metal Nightmare. It's coming back this year. Generically Chinese food with wonton soup. Yeah, Chinese food is a pretty good hangover cure. It is. It's kind of greasy, right? but anything greasy and fatty will work. By the way, that burger that I mentioned covered in barbecue sauce also has to be accompanied by fries and copious amounts of ranch dressing. All of that with a coffee and a Mountain Dew. Something I can emphatically tell you that does not work as a hangover cure and only makes it work, anything from Five Guys. You take that back. You take that back. Oh, no. That's far too saucy. Five Guys is horribly overpriced, but delicious. It's delicious. They have the best fries. I'm just saying my drunk stomach does not agree with it. But do you get to ultimately eat any food that also includes additional alcohol? I could definitely eat that bucket of Cajun fries they put in front of me. I see you. Taught them from the street, George. Five Guys is where it's at. I mean, yeah, it's far better than Smashburger, I'll agree with Nick. And In-N-Out. Honestly, something I never see get a lot of love is out in L.A., Umami Burger. Oh, so good. We have an Umami in Fort Collins. Is that a... I didn't realize that was a thing. It is really good, though. Don't get me wrong, Umami out here is amazing. Park Burger is the best burger in Denver. Meta Nightman. I've never even heard of Park Burger. I would love to try a new burger. Nick says that yours is an amazing food truck. Okay. No, ours isn't amazing. Yeah, Five Guys is way better than Smash Burger. There's no question. We can work around that. Oh, Nick also says ranch dressing is a no-go. I'm not sure where we stand at this point. Am I still hungover? Because I'm going to agree. Wait, if you're hungover, you can't do ranch? I probably shouldn't. I should never do ranch. But if I am hungover and I am at a restaurant, you better believe I'm doing, oh, you know, the other dish. I'm sorry, it just hit me right now, like my glands are salivating as I'm thinking about it, but chicken fried steak smothered in white gravy. Interesting. Yes. I'll agree with that. Anything from a diner, really. Yeah. Okay, cool. Yeah. Something greasy. Including a delicious tuna fish sandwich. Oh, my God. That's a storm business. Nope. It's not even made up. Like, Ty, when we meet, if you sneak tuna fish, like canned tuna fish, into something, I will vomit. Oh, I'm hiding it all over your play store. One day you're going to be playing a game you haven't played in a while, and you're going to be like, why isn't the tilt-bob working? And you're going to open it up, and it's just going to be full of canned tuna. What's that Swedish rotten fish dish? That's a delicacy? Oh, uh, strum, strum. It's strum and jorn. Yeah, I don't know how to pronounce that. That is a very fragrant dish. That sounds like the, uh, um, shoot, what's the name of that place? It is Iceland does shark that they bury for six months and then eat it because it cooks in its own uric acid that builds up. Sweet. No. You should try it. I went to an Icelandic. Is it how you draw it at the same time? No, you just throw it up instantly. Oh, okay. Icelandic fermented shark. One mile more. Haha. Yeah, gross. I went to an Icelandic party where we had lamb face. We had puffin. So it was lamb cheek, I think, is what it was, and lamb tongue. It's like all these different. It was delicacies, and we had everything with, like, an Icelandic vodka, which was just normal vodka but without any of the things that stop it from being brutal. So it was just battery acid. I could. They clearly don't care what they're drinking. No. No, they don't care about anything at all. You know, I'm in my 40s now, and I'm pretty sure that delicacy really just means based on a dare. I like it. I'm trying to think if I have any more. Yeah, there it is, Iron Fox, but that word. What is it? Boom lots scare me, so I'm going to try. They're roaming. There you go. Nick, yeah, Netflix's Ragnarok was good. Netflix's Ragnarok? What is that? Yeah, it's good, George. Wait, is it as good as Marvel's Ragnarok? I'd say better. Sounds amazing, Ice-Kidoo. Yeah, let's clear this paddock. Let's do it. Got it. There's our perfect paddock. Oh. Alan, no. No thank you. Wait, I'm Googling that just to make sure that it's what I think it is. Uh, CNK, as someone from, uh, the actual... Yeah, no, no, I don't mind the burger cheese. It's a big pile of nope. That was my nickname in high school. A big pile of nope. Oh, my God. Have I told you all how much I appreciate Monday nights and how when they don't work out, how much I miss them? Well, that's what we appreciate about you, George. Oh, is that what we appreciate about George? Yeah. Speaking about appreciating, Jayzabel has mentioned to me that she wants to come on Monday night at some point and hang out with Surreal and Dice. And that is now high on her, like, want list. All right, brilliant. Yeah. Are we celebrities? Yeah, I think so. If people want to hang out with us, this is a new field. I mean, I do. Oh, crap. I Googled the Balut egg. Nope is correct. Okay. On rye with onion and mayo mustard. Yeah, CNK is saying Limburger cheese on rye with onion and mayo mustard. That actually sounds really good. That sounds... Wait, sorry. What was on rye with mayo and onion mustard? Limburger cheese. It's a stinky cheese. I mean, it's a really good cheese. It's just aged. There's... Pardon me at this point. It doesn't make a difference what it is. If it's cheese and there was ever a thing that said, George, imagine for a second you could digest cheese and you wouldn't feel awful for days, I would eat it. I don't care at this point. Like, cheese is what gives flavor to everything in life. And if you don't appreciate the fact that you can eat cheese without dying a little bit inside, you're not doing it right. Enjoy the fact that you can eat cheese because I feel awful every time I try it. George, when I come visit, I'm bringing two kegs of nacho cheese. We're going to do keg stands on screen. You know what? As long as you understand, like, if we're going to do it, we need to start at night. And then, like, you need to be here for two days. We start at night on the first night and we finish on the second night. and by the third day I'm going to feel awful, and I'm just going to be like eating pure Alka-Seltzer tablets at that point. I thought we were going to do a 48-hour stream. Okay, yeah, 48 hours of streaming. Done. This is going to be so much fun. Now, that stream might be done from the toilet. Yes, I mean, part of it will be. We're coming to you live from George's bathroom. We're coming to you live and George is gone. Can you put a pinball table right in the doorway of the bathroom? And if we can't, nothing a saw can fix. Conversation got weird. Just pull the pin up to the toilet. It'll be fine. Butt killer waves a found severed john. Hold on to your butts, Arnold Arm in greeting. Hold on to your butts. Hold on to your butts. Hold on to your butts. You can eat my cookies. Snarf raising his two people. Welcome! I'm going to try and clear this paddock again. Snarf, snarf. We got ourselves a perfect paddock. C and K, none of us are as down for the cause to get George to watch Smokey and the Bandit as you are. I'm so sorry. It's just not high on my to-do list. It's one of the most okay movies I've ever seen If Joyce watched Airplane and was sort of like Eh Part of it that was funny maybe I'd give up I guess We have gotten five more achievements everyone We're getting closer over here What do we got left? We need the perfect Brachiosaurus paddock That's what we need to do We need to start over Sir Snarf just did Battle Battle of the Five Armies. Congratulations. By the way, Sir Snarf, my hat's off to you. Thank you. Oh, wait. We should go there. My hat's off to you. Welcome to the stream. Thank you. Sir Snarf was streaming It Was The Hobbit this evening. Not sure where that weird thing came from. Hi, Tracy. How you doing? Hi, Tracy. And made it to Battle of the Five Armies. Congratulations, Sir Snarf. Alex, I hope you had an awesome evening. And Tracy, welcome as well. Tracy, you are a part of this group. You are more than welcome just to join us online if you wanted to. Go back and read my Ripley's toothpaste comments. Don't panic. I'm going back up. What did I miss? Oh, no. It was about a guy that collected weird toothpaste. Laser Los is watching old Ripley's, believe it or not, episodes. And there was a guy who collected obscure toothpaste. He had over 800. And one was made by Starkist Tuna Company. Starkist toothpaste. I immediately thought you'd love it. My man. Oh my god. No, I'm good. I'm good. You could walk around with that taste in your mouth all day, George. We're good. I couldn't help it. I, like, started brushing my teeth mentally in my mind and thinking, like, what if that flavor wasn't the clean feeling of Scope? All right, everybody get that clean feeling. button ready. Here it comes. There was a moment seriously where I thought about I might gag actually. Speaking of that, that was disgusting. Thank you. I'm okay with mayo-flavored toothpaste, Bud Killer, but alright, we're taking a sip. We've established that George's dad used to send him to school with expired mayo. Tuna, I can't do. I can't do. I've been trying tooth powder. I found it in my mom's house circa the 60s. Oh, my God, is that toothpaste? There is a toothpaste that is made from cow dung. Go on. As silly as it may seem. Volcano insurance. Go on. It's fantastic. I'll take your word for it. So, what do you think, guys? Top five social media platforms. Oh, there we go. So here, we're on to the next one. Top five social media platforms. I have five. I'd say Facebook and Discord, and that's really it. I am stinging from almost all social media. Except for Twitch. So is Twitch a social media platform? Discord says I'm on it. Here's a good question. Is Tinder a social media platform? it does encourage you to get out there and meet people it does it is a i it's social and it i i think it defy it falls well within the umbrella of social media yes spud killer tinder is a hookup site whoa whoa whoa it is a dating app you don't have to be you just it's not just hookups like Like, you can literally... George, there's no... There's no... We're not judging you right now. I'm just saying it's not just hookups. You're simply going out on a very short date with a very expected ending. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Not even that. Oh, my gosh. There are plenty of people. Is there an opportunity for that kind of situation to happen? Sure. You can all know... 90% of the people on there have that opportunity. No, it's way less than that. And the other 1% are the people that clearly don't know how to use the platform. I feel like this is discount legalese right now. Catching Facebook can be a dating app if that's how you use it. CNK, I can't say that out loud. Sure you can. It's easy. If swiping and rejection is involved, is it social media? Possibly. A place to chat and connect. Eligos, thank you. Yes, yes. It doesn't really matter how you're connecting. There's several ways. Oh, I went the wrong way. I needed to go Brachiosaurus. I blame you all. Oh, I added a second player. This is great. George doesn't get his achievements, and now he's blaming us. oh if I reset it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't remember okay so uh I would have to go discord is probably my most used social media platform after that facebook after that instagram and then if we're counting something after that probably either tinder or twitter Twitter is such a cesspool I don't know what to do with Twitter it's a very different place top desserts says CNK that was not on my list but I'm perfectly fine to come up with top desserts anyone says anything with caramel I look forward to TPN TikTok dance offs I like it I was thinking... Oh, I'm all about that. Yeah. I was thinking earlier today that we should do a straight down the middle challenge in TPN. That if you go straight down the middle during a stream, you have to do like 10 push-ups or 10 pull-ups or something like that. That would be, I feel like, kind of fun and see who actually makes it through their two-hour TPN streams. Isn't that a little on the nose since the show used to be called Straight Down the Middle? and now there's the pinball network. The straight... Wait, I don't understand what's directly on the nose about... Oh, on the nose as in Zach's show was straight down the middle? And now you're pulling it into his new platform? I don't know that it's his. He still has straight down the middle, which Zach has not brought into TPN, by the way. I don't know if you know this, but straight down the middle is not affiliated with TPN and he has never brought it in. but it is affiliated with Flip N Out Pinball. It is definitely, and Flip N Out Pinball is a huge part of CBN, sure. I mean, how else are we going to call him late at night and on weekends? Well, that, I just wanted to come up with someone that we could put an actual phone number, and I knew that Zach was already at a place where he was probably getting those late at night phone calls. Is that because they were from you, George? what i just have high expectations from my distributor and zach was able to to make that happen says the man who didn't want his name on the harry potter waiting list i know i was so disappointed when i found out a he had a waiting list and i wasn't somehow like magically put in there i see you you can go to him with any game that doesn't exist and has to be put on the waiting list yeah no no you're absolutely right either i ski do or nick and one of you guys to update the battle so that way it says between the battle with Frisco Pinball tomorrow. Calls were coming from inside the house. That might have been the scariest ending to where that could have gone. Zach, are you playing? No, I'm out in the garage. Why? What are those noises coming from downstairs? I think this is the last rescue I need right there. Heligos 88 says, The battle of the century tomorrow. The century? I like that. This is not good. The last hundred years have been all culminating towards this point. Okay, so that's complete. I now need to hit set trap. The Battle of the Century. We're going to start our multiball, and this should give us the Brachiosaurus achievement. As soon as we hit this collect, and we're going to hit it right off the bat here. Come on. Don't time out. I can hold up the flipper. It won't be the Blitzman Sweden. It'll be the Ballin' and Collins. Battle of the Purposeful Grimmest. What? Now, are you referring to the facial expression or that purple guy from McDonald's? There we go. Perfect Brachiosaurus did it. That is the issue. You will be given a perfect paddock after you get the paddock, but you can't get the objective or the achievement unless you do it before you actually beat the paddock. So you have to hit five rescues. Good night, Alan. Thanks for coming in. Always good to see you, buddy. And I guess I'll take this opportunity to go into the top five non-superhuman abilities you wish you had. Yeah. This one I was kind of excited about. the ability to conjure fire at will but that's a superhero so you gotta come up with so basically what you're asking is the top five things that you haven't learned yet yes there you go I wish I had the ability to speak to people publicly without feeling afraid or something like that oh that's superhuman the ability to control It's a delicious tuna fish sandwich. Mmm. Um. I would like to have a deep understanding of musical concepts. Like injury? Well, yeah, because I have played a whole bunch of musical instruments in my life, and I've brought them to a level of proficiency that makes me uninterested in them. But everything that I've ever learned on any of them has been by rote. It hasn't been, I know how to read music, but I can't sit down and just look at a piece of music and then get it. There has to be practice involved. I'd really like that. I know what you're talking about. You want the ability to, like, solo or to go off and make music up on the fly? Well, or to be able to look at a piece of music and understand how to transpose it because you're going up three, you know, half steps, and therefore you're in this different key, and then it's going to work with this and blah. All that stuff. It's all math. I just don't know any of it. Okay. I'm curious, where are you not in here? I thought one of your biggest goals in life was to be on chat with me. It's real. Good point. Yep. Yeah, I'll take perfect pitch for 100, Alex. Dorkster, what's up, buddy? Sorry, me? Are you Dorkster? Oh, I heard George Fisher. Don't worry about me. I was very focused. Well, you can find me easily online. This might be classifying as superhuman, but I'd also like to have, I'd like to know before I say something whether or not it's going to be well received. There's always that danger. Uh-huh. I think that's superhuman. B, also, we just hit a bug. Do you just see what happened? That was really cool. So we lined up a missile launch, but because I was holding up and trapped with a left flipper, it was just waiting for me to let go of the flipper because we had made it into the scroll screen, into the status screen. So while the status screen was active, if it couldn't activate the missile launch on a smart missile, and it ended up timing out the smart missile and just dropping the ball. Oh, my God! ...others without resorting to evil. Did you see that? Things are happening. Smart killer, that's called paying people. That was such a bug! Tracy says, it hurt you. It did hurt me! Tracy, did you see that? Oh, the ability to read your audience. So that's, I think, my biggest want, by the way, is to be able to read people's intentions from body language. Just about. Grab a mic and hop in here. I don't know that she's set up for it. I do want to call with you. If this, of all things, is one of your biggest wants in life, I guarantee you, we can make it happen. You don't know how to do that. Okay, next time. Yeah. George will set you up, and we'll do it next time. Oh, no. Okay, we're going to get that back. Ask and he shall receive. This is really what you want. Is it a bug or on purpose? Like, it knows you're reading the stats, so it wasn't going to play? I think I need restore power. Oh, George, I actually have an addendum to something that I said last time we were doing this over the weekend. Which is? The following day, I finally got to use that office space pickup line, and it worked. Wait, what? What was the office space pickup line? I'm going to need you to work on... I'm going to go on a matter day and watch Kung Fu. You ever watch Kung Fu? Oh. Interesting. Wait, so you got to use the... We went out for sushi and then went back to my place to watch Kung Pao Enter the Fist. Wait a second, wait a second. I thought you were already dating somebody then. Like, that... I don't know, but that ended, like, a few days ago. No! You and I have to hang out at some point. I love that movie. Kung Pao Enter the Fist is one of the greatest comedies ever made. Well, I am so sorry. That's the lesser Odenkirk that directed Ace Ventura 2. I think he's the greater Odenkirk. All right. Well. I mean, gopher chucks? Really? Gopher chucks? Not bad. Milking a cow that's trying to throw out of you? Yeah. Actually, yes. GG's on the Kung Fu. Thank you. I was telling George over the weekend when I was last in here, I've always wanted to use that pickup line, and I never had an opportunity. And the following day, I was at the bowling alley playing pinball, and I actually got to use it. No, no, no, no. We need to hit the shot. Last shot. Right here, right here, right here, right here. Got it. Got it. Give me it. Is it not going to give me... Did I already have that one? Yes. Okay, good. We got restore power. Awesome. So I think we got two on this one. Jezebel wants to meet Tracy, George. And wants to meet... Well, Tracy's pretty freaking awesome. So we need to get Tracy on here. Surreal, Dice, and Jezebel. All in one go at some point. Everybody! And then next week we'll do all of chat. And just everybody can jump in. Next week will be open door chat. Oh, no, that's fine. Tracy! Nice hand. Hi, Tracy! Tracy! I'm on here to tell y'all that it's bullshit that that's a better Odin Kirk just saying. Okay, so who's Odenkirk? I heard you guys referencing that earlier. I don't know who Odenkirk is. Like Bob Odenkirk? Yeah. And his brother? Nobody. Bob and... Team Odenkirk? So who are Bob and Steve? Oh, George. Help me out. No, no, no. I probably know. I just don't know. Like, I don't know them by name. well sexy says they're not even related it must be what happened to Tracy is Tracy just like hung up when I said I didn't know who the Aiden Kirk was it's close enough sexy I am three G&Ts in Jade the Bell so you've got some catching up to do right now dare you say three G&Ts George Let me go make my fourth one with quadruple sec, which is so perfect. What happened? James T. Odenkirk of the party. That I can understand. Nobody has helped me out. Who is Odenkirk, please? You don't know, George. We're not going to tell you. Oh, my God. You're going to make me Google Odenkirk? I don't know how to actually do that. Odenkirk. Bob, American actor. Who is Bob Odenkirk? That guy! Oh, my God! From that cool new movie where he beats up people. Mr. Nobody. Yeah. That was pretty good, by the way. That was really good. I enjoyed it. Tracy, did we lose Tracy? That was one of the best The Rock movies. Yep, we lost Tracy. Tracy's back. Okay. Hi. Welcome, Tracy. So you see Rage Quit. George doesn't know who Bob Odenkirk is. I'm out. These guys are lame. There she goes. Oh, did he watch it? Okay. Is that just Discord being a jerk right now? I'll have no way of knowing. I was hanging with my 16-year-old. Oh, and that's why you're... My Discord wants to futz about. Tracy, I'll... It's fine. I'm going to call Discord. I'll have words with their support team. They can't do that to you. Some of a very strongly worded letter with like nine frowny faces. Do you know that is one of my biggest issues when writing text messages or emails or direct messages in Microsoft Teams is that I put entirely too many emotes in my conversations for what is okay for business. I have to go back through and edit out about 50% of my emotes. I find that I do a lot of parentheses in the same sort of vein. I do that too, actually. I have so many side thoughts in the middle of a sentence that I feel that I have to explain in the email. My brain just runs on an infinitely tangential loop. Yeah. Honestly, you know, it's funny. I tried to create a podcast with my brother called Organic Tangential Conversation was what it was called, but we would reference it as OTC, like over-the-counter. You've done OTC? Yeah, you know me. Yes. Did you go through all the fives? Oh, that's a good question. Dice, how are we doing on the top fives? That was all of them. No. Was it? Oh, yeah, top five. Oh, but we didn't do cereal. How are we doing on cereal? Top five favorite cereals. Do we do toilet paper? Not that I think there's a whole lot of content here. No, I think we skipped toilet paper. I'm for it. You are for toilet paper? You two can talk about that then, because I have no dog in that fight. So, I typically have Charmin. My biggest issue with Charmin is that it is super soft, but it breaks down very easily. Which has actually been a complaint. I actually do have one thing I can throw in here. The three seashells. He doesn't know what the three seashells is. Yeah, I don't know how to use those. I have three seashells. I just want you guys to know. Dan about uses shniblets. She's talking about the toilet paper I have at my house leaves shniblets. But let's see if this works. I'm going to, my phone was running pretty low on battery. Nick says your toilet paper is supposed to break down easily. What are you doing with your toilet paper? It's supposed to. Here, I'm going to go to DroidCam. I hope you... That is not date night toilet paper. Oh, cool. So, I talked about the three seashells. Let's do this right now. Oh, my God. I have the three seashells. And I'm not just talking about... This is against TOS. There we go. Boom. Right there No you sure do Well at least George knows how to use them Okay so how do you use them Huh Oh they just sit there on the back of the toilet Just stand up to... Oh, hey, while we're here we can just... I'm happy this is working without crashing things. Nick has used George's three seashells. He has used the three seashells. So this is where we're currently streaming. And that is a lot of tonic. And I just... I didn't even... Like, that's the grenadine. There's the tonic. I need that third bottle of tonic. What else do we have right now? We've got Star Trek I'm not doubling up. No, we got the audio turned off on that. We got Star Trek, Tron, and Ultraman. Ultraman is leaving on Thursday, mind you. Is Tron a forever pin for you? Yeah, I think so. He wouldn't sell it to me. Okay, so right now Star Trek is a forever pin. Tron is a forever pin. And I'm saying, take that with a grain of salt. Like, for now, I'm going to say it's a forever pin. It's a pin that's going to be very hard to talk me into selling. Jurassic Park I may sell, but only if I can get an LE or a premium. Godzilla is a forever pin right now. TNA is a forever pin, and S.T.A.R.S. is a forever pin. CNA, Ultraman has to leave. It's just not there code-wise yet. I think when it's done, it'll be a fantastic game. but I think George jumped on that a little too early. Yeah, I just, I don't want to have to wait a year and a half for the code to catch up with the design. The design is fun. It's an enjoyable game. I voted this is the best artwork of 2021 and that is with Godzilla because Godzilla, I think, is, it honestly, the only reason I didn't vote, actually, I did vote Godzilla for Cabinet. No, I voted Godzilla for Playfield artwork of the year and I voted Ultraman for Cabinet Artwork of the Year. But there's a part of me that's just like, I will always vote for Zombie Yeti for everything, and this is the one year there's ever been something even comparable to Zombie Yeti's artwork. So I just kind of wanted to give it to somebody who can even compete in the same realm as Zombie Yeti. And yet you hate Hot Wheels. Yeah. Well, hate is a strong word. I feel like in that game. It's a strong word, but you immediately were like, yeah, I do hate it. You're absolutely right. I totally just went with it. I don't know why that game, I feel like I don't hate Hot Wheels. I feel like Hot Wheels hates me. Like, it just, it never does anything I ask it to do. Don't panic, Lip. Why do you not have dino emotes? because the next couple of emotes I'm getting, the next emote I'm getting, no question, is going to be a tardigrade. It has to be a lurking tardigrade because of what else are tardigrades doing besides just chilling. I think your next emote should be a... Hello, Jackaboy. That's actually beautiful. Is it me or is it Al? How can you tell? We sound exactly the same. Wait, you and Al? I'm so confused right now. now. It's dry sarcasm is about the same thing, I would say. Okay. Oh, Al Yankovich. Got it. The weird one. The weird Al Yankovich. Okay, cool. Got it. Not only do I not know weird Al Yankovich's music all that much, I've never been on a first name basis, so to hear someone refer to him as Al as opposed to weird Al, I don't know one Al right now who happened to have a last name basis either because you said his last name wrong. Is it not Yankovic? Yankovic. It's Yankovic? Yes. I don't think I can fix that. Like, I'm just thinking about it. Am I ever going to be able to pronounce that correctly? It's all right. You're doing fine. I give it like Vic's VapoRub. I feel like you're going to be able to fix it before he does. I mean, that's his last name. It's true. There's nothing there to fix, George. I don't. Well, I mean, in my head. You're going to get up against bald fact. No, no, no, no, sorry. It's not. I don't question the legitimacy of the statement you're making. That's obviously how it's correctly pronounced. I just, I have known that name for so long. And in my mind, I've always mispronounced it. So it's kind of like the word awry. Whenever I see the word awry, I have to mispronounce it in my head to say it correctly, which is why there's always going to be a little bit of a delay. It is awry. How do you say it? It is always awry first. Really? Okay. Now, granted, if I was on a first-name basis and constantly meeting with Weird Al Yankovic, I would eventually get to a point where it might become fixed because I'd feel awful constantly mispronouncing that person's name. Thank you, Yankanick. Maybe that's why you're not on a first-name basis with him because you can't even pronounce his last name correctly. He's like, you know what, I don't need this guy in my life. I'm thinking this is a take. I need to constantly be who I am. I have a long conversation with a friend of mine to let them know that it wasn't mock my words. What's wrong with mocking? It's mark my words, George. No, no, no, I can mock your words anytime I want to, right? Mark my words? Who's Mark? Every time he'd say that, I'd just be like, oh, your words. What? I am missing something here. Oh, you were mocking, guys. Oh, hi, Mark. Take one point for the room reference. I mean, it is like how everyone started calling Nicolas Cage Nick Cage. Oh, and just, like, dramatically shifted his name. Well, that was per his preference. Okay. Hi, Hopdog, by the way. Welcome to the stream. just when everyone was about to forget about strong muscle man Bob Odenkirk, who was in Mr. Nobody and was very strong. Captain Spaniel. He was wily. Oh, my God. Was that a replacement? The football movie with Keanu Reeves reference right there? That's Wanda George. All right. Yeah. I'm wiring. No, no, no. He's wiry. Wiry. Wiry. He's wiry. He refers to himself as Nicholas. Ooh, CNK, top five musicals. Nightmare Before Christmas. Cannibal the Musical. Dr. Horrible's sing-along blog. Oh, my God, I just watched that two nights ago. No, that was last night. I'm classic. I have to say hair. One of my top. Wait, like hairspray hair? No, not hairspray. Hairspray's actually on the list as well, but hair. Repo the Genetic Opera. Jezebel, come on, join me in this chat. Come on. Wait a second. Is hair the one with Pirates of the Caribbean Johnny Depp? Sweeney Todd? Are you thinking about the one where he cuts hair? No, no, not Sweeney Todd. Sorry, there's another one that J. Sabelle made me watch that had... But it was... Johnny Depp has crazy hair. And it's something about, like, Cry Baby. Is it Cry Baby? Is that a musical? Oh, God, I've never seen Cry Baby. Oh, my God. I mean, I guess I know that movie. You know that Willy Wonka remake is a musical? I've never seen Sweeney Todd. I hope that is Sweeney Todd. I did not watch Sweeney Todd with J. Sabelle. Jace the Bell made me watch something, and it was awful with Johnny Depp. Hey, Crybaby. I wouldn't call that crazy hair, but... And yes, it was Crybaby. He had really, I mean, he had Johnny Depp hair. He had awesome hair. If I could have that, there you go. If we go back to the top five non, what's it called, non-superhero abilities, it would be to have awesome hair. The top five other people's hair you wish you had? I know I'm on the top number one spot. You have amazing hair. You have so much hair. By the way, it's ridiculous. I wish I had that much hair. I don't have a lot of hair. That's my problem. To be honest, I have thinned out my hair a lot over the years due to old age. in the numbers and I have I have had thicker hair than what I have now believe it or not are you kidding me how would you even control it like when you were weird Al it was frizzy and everywhere like I can't imagine how you ever could but if it was thicker than it is now it would just I imagine like Harry Potter basically where you know he can't control his hair, no matter what he does, it controls itself. That's what I'm imagining. Yeah, pretty much. Oh, okay. Rocky Horror and the Book of Mormon. I have seen neither of those. I'm sorry, I've seen Rocky Horror. I've gone to the thing where they make fun of you and make you get up on stage if it's your first time. Don't ever admit it's your first time. George has not forgotten that, apparently. No. No. God. You were awful. Did they make you go on stage with, like, shorts, gold shorts that were, like, very, very small and tight? No. Oh, my God. Thank God. No, no. I did not have to wear short shorts. You know, I really, I have to wear clothing. I am not okay. I struggle to not wear clothing. Wow, George is out here shaming the nudists? No, I'm not. George is not George. George is a never nude. I am definitely a, like, if I could take a shower with clothing on, I would. Kind of a person. What if they were tri-blend short shorts? Well, that's different. If it's tri-blend, who knows? Okay, now we're on to something. Also, Jezebel, like, I agree, Jesus Christ Superstar is a classic. Okay. I'm out there as well. Wait, is nobody else jumping on board with Nightmare Before Christmas as an amazing musical? Does it count? I'm so bored. It's all right. I don't know. Wait a second. There's like a weird healthy thing behind Nightmare Before Christmas, and I like it, but I feel like it's very overrated, and I know I'm saying this on the internet, so please do not come after me. I'm sorry, nothing lasts forever on the internet. I just want to lift it up. Oh my god. I feel like in a certain sense, the Nightmare Before Christmas is overrated. Is what I've just heard. Wait, actually, no, only two people have said that. I'm sorry, really quick. The first you're hearing of the Nightmare Before Christmas, Is that correct, surreal? Wait, what? I said, is nobody down for Nightmare Before Christmas? And you said this is the first I'm hearing of it? I didn't hear you say that earlier. Oh, not that you've never heard of the Nightmare Before Christmas. I kind of got excited for a second. No, I'm aware of it. Unfortunately, my family, basically weekly, will come up to me and put that bug in my ear of going, what's this? What's this? and then I can't not think of that for a week and I hate them putrid morgue is there with me thank you putrid morgue amazing name by the way that obviously fits that that tracks I should say um thank you for being with me on that ice skidoos saying it is overrated Tim Burton tried for ages to get Disney on board for his vision but Disney rejected it for so long oh spud killer coming in with original West Side Story. I didn't see the new one. It was really good. It got really good reviews. Despite the fact that it didn't do well financially. State Fair, The Music Man, and South Pacific. I've never seen any of those. Any of those. So when you ask what is top musical, are you asking what is top musical movie that is also a Broadway play or just a movie or can be either? or what are you asking? Speaking of Danny Elfman, I like Richard Danny Elfman's Forbidden Zone. Has anyone seen that? Oh, my God. Jay Zavelle, I think, may have just fallen in love with you. That is one of her favorite films of all time that she keeps trying to get me to watch. I actually got to see that one of the theaters here, the Alamo Draft House, which now has locations all over the country, they had a special where Richard Danny Elfman actually came by and yeah he was talking about the sequel that has yet to come out and i don't think will ever come out oh my god you you had a conversation with is it richard or danny Danny Elfman his brother richard oh it's his brother richard richard directed it danny was in it he played like the devil but okay hmm he looks exactly the same the genes are strong the Danny Elfman family Okay. Cheesy as it is, bug killers go into Phantom of the Opera. And this wasn't my question, mind you. This was somebody else's question that I feel like we just jumped on. Phantom of the Opera. What about Phantom of the Paradise? How about that? Sorry, the Paradise? Have you ever heard of Phantom of the Paradise? No, I have not. Do Disney movies count? No. I'm going to pop out for the night, y'all. I've got a flight to Vermont in the morning. Oh, okay. Get some Ben and Jerry's for me. Dice. Oh, I guess I'm going to Ben and Jerry's. No goofy movies, says Hot Dog. Pins on me. Oh, the great state of Vermont will not apologize for its teeth. Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. Dice, before you go, we never got to cereals. What is your favorite breakfast cereal? My favorite all-time breakfast cereal. Grape nuts? No. If I'm going to go with my gut on this, I'm going to say waffle crisp. Waffle crisp? It's like rice cookies with no sugar. But it tastes like maple syrup, and it's delicious. That's not a real thing, is it? No, yeah, waffle crisps are absolutely real. It's no longer a cereal, but waffle crisp for the longest time was in a widely available cereal. Okay. The same thing who brought you Cookie Crisp? No. I think it was the same company. It was just like Boo-Berry. One of the two. Does anybody remember Boo-Berry? Boo-Berry? Was that a specific... Sorry, was Boo-Berry the ghost version of Count Chocula? Well, there was Count Chocula, there was Boo-Berry, and there was Franken-Berry. Boo-Berry was the least popular. and hardest time. There's also Fruity Yummy Mummy and Fruit Fruit. Thank you, Mr. Hardlock, for the fix. Waffle Crisp, not Waffle Crisps. Got it. Not plural. Cinnamon Life Ice Ski Do is going to be hard to beat. Outerspacey Tracy, what's your favorite breakfast cereal? Dice, by the way, feel free to jump out. I know you've got to go to sleep then. Fantastic. I haven't eaten cereal in a hot second. The last time I've gotten cereal, I feel like it was, like, the healthy, like, cashew stuff. Okay. Like, I used to really like the crusted mini-wheat. Oh, my God. Yeah. It's probably my mouth itch. I don't know how to describe it, but I don't know. But I liked it. Okay. Well, it's like how Captain Crunch used to basically strip the top of your mouth. Everything off the roof of your mouth. Yeah. You'd be in pain for three days, but it was so worth it, especially when you had that, like, oops, it's all Crunch Berries. Yeah, it was the acetone of cereal, basically. Fruity Pebbles is here, I must say. And making Rice Krispie Treats with Fruity Pebbles is way better than just using Fruity Whoa, you're a cereal mixer? Tracy, I did not know that about you. You mixed your cereals? I mean, no, not necessarily. I'm talking about like doing the free pebbles but instead of doing rice crispy treats playing rice crispy use free pebbles instead okay we're going to come back to that surreal do you have a favorite breakfast cereal I don't know I generally go for the more bland Cheerios is a good staple I think Honey Nut Cheerios, Multigrain Cheerios, or one that's just regular. But I also like Lucky Charms, and I also like Wheat Chex. I mean, you know, I'm not picky. If it's cereal and you put it in milk and it's not, you know, organic. If it's not marketed as organic, I generally like it. If it's bad for me, I will eat it. I'm going to add a couple. Okay, oh, my God, Gluten-Free Lucky Charms. So, first of all, I have a box of Lucky Charms here. And I went to go make myself a bowl the other night because I ran out of food because I'm still technically positive on COVID. Although I'm getting my test tomorrow. I think I might actually pass it. And my daughter apparently ate all of the charms out of the Lucky Charms box. Which is the great way of eating Lucky Charms. No, no. I had to call her. That's what you're going to do when you sign up for having a kid. They're going to eat the marshmallows out of your cereal. I called her up immediately that morning, and I'm like, never. It was at FaceTime. I showed her the box, and I made her look at it. I'm like, do you know what I had for breakfast? Nothing but Lucky. That's it. There was no charms in my Lucky Charms. It was just a Lucky. Lucky. Yeah, exactly. So I like Lucky Charms. It's a good go-to. my solid and there's like go-to and then there's the I'm treating myself kind of moment so Lucky Charms is fun but that's what I grew up with my the one that my go-to now that I really really like is honey bunches of oats but it needs to be covered in fresh honey and it's amazing that is my like daily go-to when I'm eating cereal frequently but my all-time favorite like will break any diet ever if I happen to find it because it's not always available is Fruit Loops with marshmallows. Which is a new thing. It's a thing. It is Lucky Charms marshmallows in Fruit Loops right there. Mic drop. It's the greatest thing ever invented. Am I imagining that at one point there was like a marketing thing where they sold Lucky Charms marshmallows where it was nothing but the marshmallows? Yeah, I did see that. Oop, all marshmallows? I'd eat that. Oh, my God. I'd be so down for that. Yeah, I would so eat just the marshmallows. So really quick, does anybody – Pinsomniac said something earlier that blew my mind. He asked if anybody puts the milk in first and then the cereal. Yes, that is the only way to eat cereal. But then the cereal in the top. Wait, you put the milk in first? That's what they're saying. Oh, absolutely. Yes. No, but that's the point of putting the milk in. I think you're just saying it's better to be cool because that is just a mistake. No, it is the efficient way to eat. Oh, here's Nick. Here's Nick. Nick is going to have words. I am livid right now. Why? Why? Wait, why are you putting milk in first? Yes. Okay, I agree. Who puts milk in first? Oh, I absolutely do that. Why? But the reason you put the milk on top is so that way you get milk on the cereal, so you're not just eating dry cereal. Are you guys insane? Apparently you've never let a bowl of cereal sit there until it gets all mushy and gross. Never. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can put cereal. No, no. Here's the way that you do it. You get the bowl, you put the milk in it, you take the cereal, and you dust it on the top, which means every single bite is nice and crunchy with however much milk you want to put in the spoon. And then when that layer is done, you take the box, you put the next layer down. Oh, so you're going to be refilling. It's a little bit of extra work, but you always have the perfect amount of crunch versus milk ratio. Whereas, if you put in the cereal, you've got to gauge how much cereal am I going to put in, how much milk am I going to put in. I mean, how dare you assume that I'm doing it incorrectly because I'm putting milk in afterwards. How dare you assume that I'm putting milk in cereal. If you dump in the dust, it turns into paste. Oh, that stuff is the best. No, okay, I'm going to disagree with you there. There's nothing worse to me than frosted mini-wheats that get soggy. I want each frosted mini-wheat to be crunchy. That's what I'm saying. You can guarantee that scenario with milk first. I'm, you haven't won me over, but I'm not, I'm no longer discounting your ability to have an opinion on milk versus cereal timing right now. I want you to know, by the way, you got a minus one from Mr. Hardluck. Like, Mr. Hardluck gave you a minus one. Hi, Fuzzy Gord. I mean, you might as well have a bowl that you're just pouring the milk over the cereal, and then you eat the cereal, and then it's like a strainer, and it just strains the milk out, and then you just do it again with the same milk. You might as well just do that over and over and over again. I guess at that point, why not just have, like, a bite of cereal and then a sip of milk in your mouth? Right. Because there's no... Yeah, the way I do cereal is I just put the box, just like, I feed the box into my mouth, and then I take a glass of milk, and then I drink milk with every... See how insane that sounds? You see how insane that sounds? I'm just... Oh, George, additional question to this real quick. Has anybody ever poured milk straight into the bag? Yes. But only because I'm camping. Only when I'm camping. You got to get every last little bit of sugar coating, right? I'll have you know, there is one marshmallow in this bag. Don't ever let your kid do that. There's one in the back. There's one right here. That is the only marshmallow, and it's a half a marshmallow. That's what my kid did. Oh, nope. You're right. There was two. There's this one. now there's one now there's none i mean it's a crime that there's marshmallows but there's also a crime that i feel like that's very little cereal in general left in the bag there now you have a worthless bag of luck oh no this is being thrown out right now there's no reason to even have this box and bag just blend the cereal go ahead so for spud killer that box of cereal that George is holding is a single-serve cereal box. So, wow. Did you know that when you're camping, if you get the actual single-serve boxes, they actually have cutouts in them that you can, with a knife, cut the middle, cut the top, cut the bottom. It folds open. You've cut through the plastic. You pour the milk into the box, and you can eat it right out of the single-serve box. That's what I would do when I go into hotels when I was younger because they would always have the tiny little boxes in the... Yeah, yeah. I always felt so cool whenever I did that because I would, like, blow kids and other parents' minds. Like, you can just eat it. Like, the box is a bowl. It absolutely is a bowl. Yes. That you can put the milk in first. You can put the... You know what? We're not going to be divisive over this. Let's, like, keep it positive, please. We're way past that at this point. Come out of the chat. I'm getting a minus one, and apparently I'm a monster. I love it. I love it. Thank you guys so much. Also, I just loved the top five lists tonight. I think they were awesome in general. They were fun. Also, way over time. So let's go find someone to raid with all of this raid love that we got this evening. And I'm so sorry at the end there, I feel like there was so much chat. I did an awful job of keeping up with everyone. I'm going to go back and read through it later. Time doesn't matter. Time doesn't matter? No, you can stream for like three more hours. I have to work tomorrow. I had today off. I cannot stream for three more hours. That said, I could remain. There's no question. I don't even have to sleep anymore. I can go. I think two or three days without sleeping now, it's just I end up getting sick afterwards. But sleep is weird in that my body seems to not need it, but at the same time, it's absolutely required. So yeah, no idea where I'm going with that. But drink tons of water and you'll stream for a long time. And Insomnia is crushing the Pinsomniac who is texting while he's actually on this call. So, Tracy, Nick, and Surreal, thank you guys so much for hanging out this evening. I hope you guys have a great night. By the way, you guys, if you're not following, by the way, Outer Spacey Tracy, who was streaming earlier, Tracy, what game were you playing this afternoon or evening? I was playing Yoku's Island Express. Island Express, and without a camera, right? Yeah, I didn't do camera today. I was feeling kind of... I don't know. Okay. And, sorry, is that the role-playing game slash pinball game? I mean, you role-play as a male person or male beetle. It's basically a beetle that rolls a ball around and you have to deliver mail and pick up items and get fruit via pinball, like game. That sounds awesome. Thank you so much Insomniac for that shout out. So click the name over there, click that link and click the follow button. Tracy is awesome. Surreal underscore seven as well. Nick, if you also don't mind doing a shout out there as well. And then a shout out for yourself. Nick Surreal, who was just on yesterday with, sorry, I just totally spaced the name of the game that you are constantly playing. Surreal, what game is that? It's Overwatch. or Forza, but it's less about the game and more about the horrible content in between. Oh, the best part of that. And also, you can redeem... It's the first time I've seen not a redemption that is really hard to explain, but it's a redemption... Are you talking about summoning Zul? Hold on, hold on, hold on, because it's unique. Because what you're doing is, there's no other redemptions, I feel like, that do more than just trigger something. It's not about that. You're creating an interaction between physical life and the stream to recreate a situation that includes audio, lighting, and a response to the trigger. It's really, really unique in what it's doing. I've never seen a redemption achieve that level of engagement before. And I know I'm making something that you're going to say is probably really easy to put together, seem silly levels of awesome, but it is. It really, it's a different type of redemption. No, I have those big old anime eyes right now. They're quivering. I'm like, oh, my God, he gets it. But it's a different level of engagement for redemption that I've just never encountered before, and it's awesome. Yeah. It is really, really cool. You can stop by for a really cheap and fun It is a hundred points You just watch for like 30 minutes And then you can trigger it And it's so cool It is so freaking cool Actually if you just follow You can trigger it two and a half times Just by performing a follow And then Nick I haven't seen you stream in a while But Nick has been streaming for years And it's typically pinball Nick what's going on I've been doing house stuff that's right not streaming actually I'm kind of interested with this chat can we talk about how surreal looks nothing like I thought he would I figured surreal would look like I don't know like a dinosaur or something well I feel like a dinosaur I guess Sorry, when you say dinosaur, Tracy, what do you imagine? When Nick says, I imagine you would look like a dinosaur, what would you picture when somebody says that? Definitely not a pterodactyl. I would go more of the brachiosaurus style. Okay, see, I agree. That's the first thought I had. Sorry, you went, did you say Brachiosaurus? I spoke over you. Brontosaurus. Brontosaurus, which, by the way, they brought Brontosaurus down. It does, right? It does, yeah, because Brontosaurus then became a pedosaurus because they thought they had flipped the bone around. And then after 30 years after that, like just recently, they discovered, nope, we had it right in the first place. So they brought back Brontosaurus. So Brontosaurus is yet again a real dinosaur. and that's, you were imagining a long neck, like, from The Land Before Time. Yeah, like, basically cookie-cutter dinosaur shape. Okay. I'm very confused right now, so. I picture you as that. I don't look like myself because of a bone turned around. Yeah, your bone is turned around, so. You've got to get that bone turned back around. Yes. It changed completely the name of the dinosaur because of the bone being turned around. But it turned out the original person did it correctly, so they brought it back. By the way, shout out to Mutton Shunter, who's one of my regulars. Hi, Mutton Shunter, who says, Surreal looks cool. Surreal has a cool-looking sauce box. That sounds very cool. There's a thing about Victorian slang on my stream. You guys are missing out. I'm telling you. I completely agree. Well, I mean, I'm there, actually, so I don't feel like I'm really missing out. This is true. You're getting the healthy taste, George. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Between sauce box and healthy taste, I really feel like we're hitting all of the wonderful descriptors right now that definitely are not euphemisms at all, ever. Mm-hmm. Yeah. This is going to be really random. Welcome to me. and I now really want a Jurassic Park rethemed into a Land Before Time table. Ooh, I talked to Brian Allen about that, actually, when it first came out, and I asked if he could redo a Translight. So if we want to put together some funds to get a Jurassic Park Translight done with the entire crew, Sarah, Littlefoot, and I can't think of anybody else's names, but like a Jurassic Park Translight done, he threw me a quote. it was like $1,200 or $1,300. Lay Before Time is also one of the saddest movies I've ever seen, but not because of something that happens in the movie. Well, it is very sad because of things that happen in the movie, though. Yeah, but... Is it sad because you always want to hang out with them and you never got a chance to? Sarah and Ducky, thank you. No, it's because of the... It's a sad reminder. What's the... Is it... Ducky? Ducky is the one that you think dies, but ends up surviving at the very end? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Spoilers now. Whoa, this is 1984, Tracy. I can spoil it. I somehow managed to spoil it. Wait, sorry. Have you honestly not seen it? Is that what you just said? Yes. I mean, I've seen, like, bits and pieces of it playing for my friend's little brother when I would go over and play. but yeah not only tracy have i seen this movie a hundred times as a kid but i've probably watched it another 30 as an adult and i have gone back through and watched it without my kid that's that's how nostalgic and amazing this movie is if you have not seen it i feel like we need to do a twitch bot or something like that together where we all just get popcorn and just do a watch party because it's flat out amazing. One of the greatest, like between Secret of NIMH, The Land Before Time, and I'm trying to think of what other amazing childhood movie that actually scarred me for life. But it's Water Centaur. Star Crystal? I only saw Water Centaur recently. Which one? The Magic Toaster. I never did see the Magic Toaster one. Is that what it's called? Yeah, the Brave Little Toaster. The Brave Little Toaster. Requiem for a Dream? Oh my god, Requiem for a Dream messed me up for a long time. Huh. Okay. Yeah, that's, something along those lines has absolutely got to happen, I think. Because, wow, The Land Before Time is so iconic. And it's, there's going to be things that happen, I feel like, that are some, if I watch it again, Just think about parts of it that are fundamental pieces of my personality, honestly, come from that movie. It would not surprise me in the least. Requiem for a Dream? Oh, my God, no. Oh, my God. Requiem for a Dream is so messed up. No. Mutt & Shunter, 2022. Thank you so much for that follow. You know what else is iconic with Mr. Hardluck? My butt. and on that note we're going to go ahead and end the stream let's find someone else to go raid thank you everybody this was hands down pants off my favorite stream of the week so far you guys have a good one thank you and you're welcome thank you goodnight everybody fear not for you are found you are home and there is no going back No one leaves this place.
