dice dice how is your monday treating you so far my monday is treating me very well when i first came in i was just telling george uh before his call i was watching the social network one of my favorite movies hear some stuff happening that's not people's actual voices uh oh my gosh yeah chaotix immediately pointing out the the wall change before we get there what specifically do you like so much to say that the social network is one of your favorite films i'm curious to know dice what what about it has you coming back for more over and over again what's that what's the moment or what's the thing well i don't think it's just the performances i think a huge handed in is trent reznor soundtrack but also it's a david fincher movie and he's made some of my favorite movies of all time i mean he made fight club that was david fincher yeah okay sorry he didn't do a fantastic filmmaker yeah wow and meta knight man chaotix cnk iron fox and spud killer all welcome to the stream hello and we are gonna be playing i have a new button for for this guy here i made the hands cam a lot larger i have no idea why it was the last second decision oh because i have one less camera right now my um the gopro here is not working it just doesn't even turn on i haven't i think the battery failed captain zanzibar welcome to the stream cnk hi hi dice for no pros i've had an issue with that too forever i don't know that i would do another gopro i'll wait for that to end yes sorry you were saying it like it drains the battery when it's like not even on yeah are you having an issue yeah i don't know what the hell is going on with that i got nice yeah meta knight man this is uh this is this is day two without without a without taking a shower so it's just oily i think right now i did get a haircut somewhat recently so yeah it's just it's been a busy couple days i uh i'm not sure how y'all's days was i know surreal you mentioned earlier that you were tired but um it was uh 8 30. i was in i had a half hour gap today which i ran out very quickly to go get starbucks got done at 5 30 left to go to the gym about halfway there with my kid i kind of got shaky and i'm like nope not not doing that gotta go make dinner a friend of mine oh you guys jazabelle's uh uh is not feeling well so uh i picked up jezebel's kid we did dinner back at my place but before i could get back to my place um i got a work call and production was down at my job which is government stuff and there was a lot of people freaking out so got pulled back into that about eight o'clock finally uh got to go drop off uh jezebel's kid made it back here to put my kid to bed and finish just a few minutes before yet another work meeting that ended right about 10 o'clock so roughly about 30 minutes ago and uh and then i've totally spaced that i'm one camera on a dmd i'm one camera down so i had a bunch of fun stream stuff to try and get done in roughly about 15-20 minutes so that was that was my day in a nutshell i don't know if anybody else has had a similar uh just like minute after minute everything is book style a day my day was nothing like that okay what was your day like uh i was it was just the opposite there's nothing happening at all i did get uh an email recently from the local news station though they're gonna do an interview with us tomorrow because someone tipped them off to our bells and chimes league that's awesome that is really cool so uh sorry you said it was a radio station or a news station a news channel yeah okay that's super freaking cool what news channel how do we tune in when do we tune in what day does it go do you have info i have no info at all they're just doing the interview tomorrow and they're probably going to hear the piece the next day or the next few days or something okay save you that's awesome congratulations and uh and you said this was for bells and chimes do you have like a standard thing you guys do when it comes to to bells and chimes that uh or is it something specific meaning like is this in in response to uh like a recent event or something like that no i guess just someone tipped them off that we're a welcoming pinball group that has strong ties you know with mainly you know the female uh population and the lgbtq plus population et cetera so they're uh yeah they're gonna do a little piece on so that's cool i hope you know that gets the word out and more people get interested and uh join us is freaking cool and you guys have do you guys have it's like in oh wow that was a great start do you guys have like individual city chapters or is there one overarching website that kind of manages being a part of bells and chimes so um i thought schneider i believe her name was um she started it years and years and years ago it was like 2007 or something um in oakland and i guess it got moved over to i think tracy lindberg i think is taking charge of the group now because i guess that hasn't been updated in a long time um but there's chapters all over the world there's okay four chapters in texas so the houston chapter started which caused lauren to start hers in san antonio which caused me to start mine in austin which uh caused um i think pricker started the dallas one um so there's there's a crap ton right right there's a ton of individuals are they centrally managed meaning you go to one place and it tells you then all the different locations and chapters or or are they all there's a directory somewhere that exists yeah okay um but we all pretty much like kind of privately run we just kind of share the name or you know those other people that share similar kind of group titles okay well that is freaking cool congratulations oh thank you yeah i don't know who the heck tip kept them off the because like we haven't really done a whole lot of stuff lately because of like covet and everything um and like when we first started right before covid we we had some some interest and a newspaper and another tv station reach out to us but then covet happened right i know well uh while rolling again i guess pun intended so it on that note i'm assuming leagues are starting back up again have things been slower than for the bells and chimes because i i just got back into my first league other places like san antonio is always poppin um but they have like a really cool place that has their machines work in order and it's like a safe place to play and etc etc um right now we've played a place that it's a cool place it's just having a lot of pinball machines um trying to get the cider cage to get back to me um about holding another league night there trying to do like twice a month okay i think doing it too often right now with people's schedules and whatever i don't think we're gonna get as many people doing that so it's all a work in progress here like starting right before covet i think kind of stunted our growth right yeah hopefully this will get more people interested and keep uh and and keep the the number of people joining going back up that's awesome yeah this is the same person right no this is just social social anxiety being masked george this is okay wait i don't know you just struck me as a person who didn't who didn't care about any of that but completely understood right yeah yeah totally um so i was going to get this about me tonight we're going to talk about toilet paper right oh wait no no it was a great start because what cool news is that um but catching back up on chat chaotic asked about the color dmd do you prefer the lcd or led um for me i don't i don't really notice a difference like if you go lcd you can put it back into led mode and give it the the like it's backwards compatible in my mind i'm sure to someone who's seen them side by side there might be a preference um i do like the look usually of the the smoothed out screen which is what it's currently set to right now is that smoothed out kind of uh graphics on it i do do either do any of you guys have opinions on the color dmd lcd versus led no i'll take it or leave it oh as if anyone were to throw a pinball machine at me you know i'm not gonna be like you know what this doesn't have the lcd screen so got it okay i mean i like the old i think i prefer the led but that's only for nostalgia's sake really wow okay led got it i i can understand why it definitely maintains the nostalgia and it just adds color to it so that makes sense to me how do y'all joe hill's right here joe hills rating with 132 beautiful people wow just ran in huh yeah and just ran in joe hills welcome to the stream thank you very much my hat's off to you but no hat today that's okay i i appreciate the hat in spirit it's like a spectral ghost hat there's a tombstone in everything so we know it's really dead yeah you know you still blew my mind joe telling me that uh that face off was a modern retelling of the iliad uh like it has made me uh cue up face off since uh since the last time we talked about that it's a fantastic film and you will not regret that decision george oh i mean i oh wow i regret making that shot right there but um i always really enjoyed the movie and had moments and just the kind of the the stupidity of the technology and how they decided to solve things but to know that it's like it it's it's yeah okay cool you're right it's uh it's not a decision i'll feel bad at all about it so joe you have been uh streaming a lot of pokemon is that what you were perhaps streaming this evening it was indeed yeah pokemon legends arceus just came out on friday and um since my main minecraft series is on hiatus i was like i've got some time to burn through this pokemon game because normally i don't have time to do this so you know i'm just enjoying that little uh extra time there awesome oh wow i made that shot perfectly right do you have any pets uh no i am a single parent and i have enough responsibility as it is i know exactly what you're talking about right there well i was going to say because they have those like pokemon cards that you can make for your pets and you put their picture on it you can choose the background etcetera etcetera i just saw that really recently and i thought that was like a cute little idea oh that's scary he's seen that before no i mean i guess i could put my daughter on a pokemon card though i think she'd be a little embarrassed so maybe not all right dj frog time uh rokon shimo sun dawn things and shack omc welcome to the stream thank you so much for joining us on on a joe hills raid and i'm so sorry if i if i interrupted there oh no not at all i did see that uh meta knightman asked how the new game is uh because they're on the fence uh i will say i'm a big fan of the classic pokemon gameplay but the changes that they made here are huge lateral moves that make this a fun different kind of game um there's a stealth element where you sneak up on pokemon and and whack them with the balls uh that i really enjoy and they totally read the pokedex so that you have to do research tasks by like having pokemon attack with certain moves or go certain places to do certain things um to fill out the pokedex and that's a huge kind of gameplay extender for me i'm enjoying that a lot awesome so i have never tried nor gotten into pokemon but it has become i mean it already was really popular but it's something i know my kid is interested in what where if i was oh wow if i was gonna get into pokemon with my kid and try and find a good starting point is there is there a solid beginner beginner for kids kind of spot if you both have a nintendo switch um you could get uh they usually put the games out in pairs like sword and shield right and the person who i sword can catch different pokemon than the person who has shield and you can trade across with each other and so that's a really good thing to do with your kid um and unfortunately when my kid got uh pearl and i got diamond i didn't have time to play pearl very much but when we had sword and shield we got those at a time where we both could uh you know sit down and play that together and that was really good okay and when you say trading what exactly are you are you trading the pokemon themselves yes it's short for pocket monsters and so let's say that you had something in your pocket that happened to be a monster and you wanted a different monster from yeah that seems like sorry uh tracy you were saying no no no no i was just gonna say that this is like a pg-13 stream right pocket i actually didn't make it there at all in my head until until you said that well welcome to the gutter george nice to have you yes welcome to the gutter i like that man i'm just i'm just so jazzed to not be working right now like they're i don't know very very odd mode right now i'm just like i don't have to worry about production servers anymore things were things were looking pretty pretty down there for a minute wait did you leave your job or are you on sabbatical or what's up no no no it was it was just it was just uh an interesting late night uh we're happy to be done with work i guess yes just for today but tomorrow is another day oh yeah no no it ended the the the end result of work today was let's let's reevaluate what we need to do tomorrow to handle these performance issues for a product that we're not responsible for maintaining are you gonna get your kid into pokemon george well she is really liking animal crossing right now um so i think i'm i think i'm i think i'm there at the at the stage where we can move past um the untitled goose game which is great it's an awesome game but also it's a tad too simplistic for for me to enjoy um i'm looking for a little bit more and who knows maybe it's pokemon uh okay and i'm still catching up on some of the on some of the chat there i've never actually seen someone play pinball with a multiball so this looks really interesting oh hey sundon things let's go into another multiball let's let's do the thing so george have you played any of the like classic japanese role-playing games like final fantasy or anything along those lines no okay so it's basically turn-based combat with collectibles because there's like a few hundred pokemon you can go collect and they all have different moves and strengths and weaknesses and kids love that some of them look cool and some of them are cute and you know there's also a lot of like high level math optimization if you get really into that sort of thing but you also don't have to do any of that if you don't want to you know you really gotta determine your own level of involvement with different facets of the game and you'll still make general progress and have fun is there is there an issue with this concept of like collect em all stuff that i i know is is a is a tagline and the fact that like you level up a monster and you grow a customer you kind of create a bond with the monster and then you throw them away easily for the next monster is that is that an issue or a problem at all in this series well part of the game is that you kind of do cycle out your party some but you don't have to play with the most powerful optimized monsters you could say i found this one that's like a ghost of a like a possessed keychain and you can just be like this is a really terrible pokemon stats wise but it's adorable and i'm gonna run around with this thing because i realize i'm always losing my keys so this one this way i won't in the game at least i'll have this ghost keychain thing um and you could just kind of so you know you find what's right for you okay so uh it was mr hard luck says joe you have to understand that george has been living under a rock his entire life life if it isn't a pinball machine he literally knows nothing about it so i gotta ask uh uh tracy and surreal and dice have any of you guys played pokemon uh yeah i grew up with it i i have not okay at least i don't came out when i was in kindergarten that's right dice is a little bit younger than some of us you know i'm just looking at myself please with the games and you were asking like what's another good what's the easy place to come on board with pokemon you know um if your kid enjoys stuff like animal crossing um there's a pokemon game that's not as battle oriented called pokemon snap have you ever played a rails shooter in an arcade you know where you go through the level and you've got the gun and you shoot off screen to reload that sort of thing uh um not guns of kimbo that was like time crisis yeah like time crisis time crisis sure yeah so it's kind of like that except your switch is it uses the gyroscope and the switch to target and you're a nature photographer who was going on these like courses like through the wilderness and you have to take pictures right i did hear you take pictures so it's got kind of first person rail shooter mechanics but for like taking pictures of adorable animals and stuff and there are things where it's like oh you can throw fruit at certain ones like the respond and and like you can maybe get them in a cute pose if they're happy because they like the fruit you gave them and stuff and so that's a way to introduce the kid to pokemon without the collecting element because you're not at that point creating a party you're just a an observer who's going through but the the environments in it are absolutely beautiful and they've got like multiple variations of each one at different times a day and especially with that say again that's for the switch for the switch oh my gosh sorry and what was that one called new pokemon snap snap like a camera like okay snap you took a photograph got it also sammy higgins just raided us with eight beautiful people thank you so much sammy and welcome to the stream hello hey sam okay joe i need to ask you two questions that's it's gonna sound like a similar question but there are two separate questions i love head injury so i can't wait to see what the distinction is what what's what's your favorite pokemon like visualize like visual wise what you like think is cute and then what's your favorite pokemon purely based on name well uh like my favorite pokemon in terms of like it's just visual appeal is one that's called klefki which is like i said like like a possessed key ring uh which is just adorable and uh it just floats around with a bunch of keys and jangles um and in terms of its name like which one has the best that that's hard to that's hard to pin down because there's a bunch of clever puns and stuff um but nevertheless that's the snake one morning [Music] we just got raided again pins and pirates bringing seven adorable people with them over here thank you very much my hat's off to you hey pins and pirates uh how was your bells and chimes night it's not every monday oh yeah this is speaking of bells and chimes hi devon crates sundon thing says uh klefki is really adorable that one i don't know by obviously i don't know any of them by name well okay wait a second i did watch the movie yeah i know pikachu jigglypuff [Music] okay to two different people then squirtle sorry is that the evie is adorable you know all these characters i know youtube george i have faith in you is sorry is slurtle a turtle the turtle looking one from the movie it's a squirtle yeah it's it's it's a turtle that squirts water it's like a squirting turtle it's a squirtle got it okay it's a living water gun there's also a pretty good ryan reynolds movie called uh detective pokemon um yeah where ryan reynolds is a pikachu that solves mysteries and it works pretty well so that's what i was going to ask as somebody who uh who has had multiple franchises that i love absolutely ruined how was detective pikachu for for for somebody who likes uh who likes the the genre i i thought it was great um i never actually sat through an entire pokemon animated film because i don't have the patience for that um but it was a very well done visually film a very funny decent script on the whole i i i say decent script in the whole uh the plots of pokemon stuff never actually make any sense and so the plot not really making any sense is consistent with the gameplay plot um but you know it was fine it was it was a fun story with fun characters doing fun things and uh yeah i don't know that i would walk i would recommend you walk into it if you haven't played any of the games though okay oh my god dimpled brain says that they dressed up as jigglypuff when they were a kid um someone needs to post that in the discord um dimblebrain do we get to see pictures yeah is that a thing i need to see pictures i need to see a photo of this random person on the internet dressed up as jigglypuff as a kid dj frogtime is a fan of toto dial okay cool so it seems like as you play you maybe grow an affinity towards a particular type and maybe that's the one that you decide to level up and play with despite it not being maybe the greatest character to beat the game with is that is that part of it well you have a party of six though george so it's not like you have to just pick one you have to pick like a top six thing this is obviously the inspiration for myspace [Laughter] well played well played get over there tom was a big pokemon fan is what you're saying yes tom was my friend why can't i find that shot that's so funny he was also my friend what we had friends wow tom the first mutual dice says plot not important more cute monster things and also ryan reynolds yeah good point higher peanut that's actually that i i did see the movie and enjoyed it in the same way that i and i know i'm going to get a lot of hate for this but not sonic no actually i love sonic and i'm not i'm not embarrassed about my leg for sonic at all because because immediately being on the defense about it not even like i didn't even say anything yet no jim carrey was amazing he was so awesome i kind of wish that the internet didn't do the thing where they like fixed them up because i think seeing that as like an awful version of sonic would have been just as hilarious uh like are you afraid of of what it did for entertainment in general like how the internet has a lot more power than than you'd think to to get a company to spend hundreds of millions of dollars well here's the thing with george is if i felt like it was getting in the way of artists visions i'd be upset but i feel like what it's getting in the way of is boardrooms you know somebody at the the production company was like you know you know one of the producers or whatever somebody uh up top he's like i don't like how this sonic looks his eyes are too connected can you make him look more human now the audience won't relate to this guy if he looks like a cartoon you know like it's it's not like the artists handcraftingly and lovingly came up with this brand new sonic design that they knew in their hearts was true it's that they got notes and the notes told them to do something stupid and the internet told the people who were paying for the movie if you do the stupid thing you told everybody to do it's gonna go bad you know okay see i wanted to see the stupid thing i think that would have been freaking hilarious i wanted to see the bad version of sonic i think there's like entertainment in that as well i'm not saying that the the one that exists is bad i think it was actually kind of funny especially because he was sucking down on chili dogs um constantly that was no just once just once just once oh i guess it was at the bar scene right yeah you remember yeah see it's important it's totally important also chaotix was apparently not a fan sorry evidently not a fan oh my god the pinball network coming in hot oh my god that is five raids tpn coming in with the raid tpn that is uh frisco pinball this evening frisco how was the stream how are things how's life and how is that beautiful uh what like all of those le pins that you have how are they all treating you i don't know why i'm totally waiting for frisco to be in chat and like respond via voice oh my god so was i okay so was i i also was like this feels like the perfect time for him to actually chime in i know you could the collection is treating me nicely minus lcd direct captures i can dial in oh so you just got those are is it not set up or did you run into issues with the lcd captures and what he's referring to there is on the pinball machines on the newer lcd sterns or the jjps or the american pinballs or um spooky all of those you can you can actually capture the signal it's more difficult on sterns because they use an lvds connection um and the knight's going well there are 897 pokemon says mahi zero and i need to get pokemon snap there's no question i'm gonna buy that stack i think i think you'll get a lot out of it especially because it's so hard to travel these days so just being able to be like oh look at this gorgeous beach you know look at this desert look at the like all the landscapes in there are incredibly artistically crafted like you know how when you're taking a picture you got to take composition of the background and everything kind of into effects or you know obviously the people who built the game built landscapes that you would want to photograph like so it's not really just the pokemon it's the environments it's the plants it's everything about how you set up the shots and so yeah i think it's a it's a great thing that you and your kid will enjoy awesome gold medal yeah sun dawn things i'm sorry it's not like the greatest multi-balls oh and somehow we're in double scoring ah tried to save that there i put rubber feet feet on all my pinball machines so they don't move around as easily anymore which is kind of frustrating okay george i'm gonna talk i actually i solved this problem right so i went to the um i went to pinball life or whatever and bought the linoleum protectors because i don't want to mess up the linoleum in my apartment right right and then i went to the hardware store and because i didn't want to put adhesive pads directly on the feet of your pinball machine i put them on the linoleum protectors um at the hardware store they sell these like fabric covered like things to make it easier to like slide chairs around like in your dining room or whatever yeah yeah uh furniture movers i think are or what i would call them yeah well they have they have like big heavy ones for like sliding couches around but they have like adhesive pad ones for like just a chair that you're gonna pull out and push in at the dining table right okay yep i'm with you and and so i got those and i slapped them because they've got the adhesive back you peel the little sticker paper off put that on the linoleum rubber feet things that go around the pinball machine's feet and so now i can just nudge and stuff because i was having a hard time practicing my nudging and uh now i can actually tilt for a change so that's nice okay cool so are you and and oh jesus let's try that again so um now that you can move the machine around are you feeling like you're naturally naturally doing so are you are you actually at the right appropriate moments pushing up are you trying to slide the machine left and right you know there's a lot of opportunities and guardians of the galaxy for the ball to just unfairly drain and so yeah i'm definitely um you know if it's going straight down the middle out of groot's mouth i'm able to save it now i might take a danger for it but i usually won't tilt um the outlanes i i'm not as good at catching i'm just not fast enough but like i'm getting there you know so sometimes i get it sometimes i don't but yeah okay but you know you're you're making some progress oh exactly yeah and uh but like i don't know uh i didn't have those uh feet protector things on for the stream the other night so i i didn't nudge at all like the entire time i was up against manu and that was definitely holding me back right and nudging is uh is an art form and you get to see in in high competitive play how how quickly nudging becomes ridiculously important yeah i'm looking forward to continuing to practice it and you know and it's nice too because since i got the linoleum feet thing i could just take them right off and put them on whatever the next machine i get is and uh that's a real common saying is if you don't tilt are you even playing pinball so i i know that there's there's a few other streamers or a few other people that i have played a bunch with whom like that's their goal is to get really good at nudging and something they're frustrated with like surreal where are you on your nudging skills not too bad yeah it's been a while since i played but when i got the opportunity to play with electronic a few months ago um i had some pretty good ones actually yeah yeah and then when i get really comfortable with the table i have no problem moving it a foot to the left to get straight down the middle save right do some huge moves but they're usually really worth it usually so it's not just out of frustration just the the rage tilt no it's not like a rage tilt it's it's a heavy nudge a heavy predicted nudge okay like you can eat like it's it's prior to the thing happening not after it's failed and dice where are you on your nudging skills uh right now it's not doing very well but i've had to uh type a lot recently so i'm back to wearing my carpal tunnel braces okay so physical limitations causing some issues there and people i feel like joke about pinball injuries they're no joke you try moving a 250 300 pound machine on a on the lighter side especially if it has those uh the the guards on the bottom that stop it from easily being able to move to move around and it'll you you can hurt yourself also i like that bun craft we paid for two dangers we use two dangers oh george i'll have to uh fill you in tomorrow night on what rush is like where are you going to go play rush uh player 2 arcade bar in green bay got the rush machine today so i am going tomorrow to get some lunch and play awesome i am uh i'm jelly that game looks amazing i can't wait to get it in house now dice you uh oh did you guys just see the uh one of the rubbers just fell off going around the work ramp i hit that shot a lot i just put that rubber in i thought it was an extra ball oh it's like just this extra thing running down the running down the play field i don't know did you see i tried to actually flip it um shoot i don't even know where i was there with the with the rubber that just popped off oh so dice you're gonna go try it i'm i'm jelly are you do do you have uh do you have one on order i don't i can respect rush and i like some other stuff i really want to see what this game becomes before i sink any kind of money into it okay as well it's a license i like it's not a license i love and that's a huge ask for reference yeah uh death saves went just banned for making games take ages history of risk death saves were just banned for making games take ages and a history of wrist injuries how's that higher peanut rose and i know but i was really struggling to have that make sense which would be the worst breakfast cereal [Laughter] i was just speaking about uh the worst breakfast i was just reading uh fortunately the milk by neil gaiman are any of you familiar with that uh kids story written by neil gaiman i have not read it nope it is wonderful it's about a dad uh sorry it's about a family uh uh husband wife and two kids and the wife is going to a conference so she tells the husband who definitely was most definitely paying attention all of the things to prepare uh for managing the kids for the week while she's gone and uh and the last thing she says is oh and we're almost out of milk so the next morning the kids get up they're about to have cereal and they realize that they're out of milk they tell the dad the dad has this moment where he's about to say something like try orange juice or water and suddenly he remembers he can't have tea if he doesn't have milk so he's like you know what i'm gonna run out to the store and go get you guys milk and he comes back hours later and he has a story about what happened to him while he went to go get milk and the entire the story about fortunately the milk is all of these different situations in which he maintained holding onto the mill fortunately uh while he was abducted by aliens and he met a stegosaurus uh that a time-traveling stegosaurus and uh met some some people like early humans i'm sorry oh neil it's yeah it's classic classic neil gaiman yeah right right right it's like the entire premise for neverwhere is just i don't know let's see where it like it was the the best case of discovery writing ever basically he came back with the milk and time for them to have lunch yes exactly and that's sorry we were talking about milk that's where my head went i just uh i've read it once uh to zoe and then uh and uh she just brought it back from her mom's last night or today and we started reading it again and it's a really really fun book is anyone else getting some audio issues from george every now and then oh no i'm not i'm okay okay that might just be on my end you're just getting a little warbly like probably every 15-ish minutes anybody else on the uh the internet is uh noticing a warbly 15-minute kind of sound it sounds like you're trying to talk and someone's playing like a few notes on a piano at the same time okay no i i know i think i know exactly the sound that you're talking about but it's apparently it's not me it's you you're kidding me i invented the it's not it's not you it's me i just hear like the background music yeah it's supposed to be really minimal that said i can turn that up if it's helpful higher peanut i fully concur my dad went out 30 years ago looking for cigarettes and it must be a rare brand because he's still looking ouch well george uh it has been fantastic hanging out with you all but i've got kind of an early morning tomorrow so i unfortunately have to head out but i hope you guys have a great stream and a wonderful evening joe thank you so much for hanging out bye everybody peace right so trying to put on a good show over here it's so funny because i feel like i can find all the shots it's just stringing them together is the the issue right now which in a way i feel like is always my issue stringing all those shots together shot after shot that's funny iron fox go ahead and take a point for that one that was uh that was really good all right vengeance multiball is ready i've got a lock shot over here in a mission start let's go ahead and do that i think that's that's also going to give us yeah we're going to complete save the enterprise we get to prime directive which i'm not gonna do yet cnk i um for the pudding the pinball is just a bonus i don't actually have the pudding commercial lined up right now i should get the pudding commercial lined up you have that uh left scoop shot like dialed in so nicely that left scoop shot is one of my favorites in the same way that um it feels so good when you like freaking nail it and when you nail it over and over again it feels so good really oh oh is that going to give it to me no no i'm doing that from now on just holding up that flipper yeah so uh same thing on jurassic park that is uh the c shot and the s shot are my two favorites and they feel quite nice jurassic park on the other hand also has the o shot which feels wonderful i'm going to waste two multi-balls on this mode that is disappointing additionally my o shot reference was not sexual chaotic game club central was on it i i could tell i knew i knew that's where things were going the train to guttersville all aboard that joke was like my girl shayla too easy with his accent that's not something i used to say at work and then hr had words with you oh no no we only had like two hr people in that place and they were about as filthy as we were so it was fantastic okay uh it was nothing it was like an entire office level of dantes and randalls okay got it clerks love it i don't appreciate your ruse your cunning attempt to trick me gems came out right and i hope it feels good you hope you hope your life feels good i hope it feels so good to be right there's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others is [Laughter] that was a movie reference for oh no for anybody who wasn't who wasn't following along oh i thought that was like the fourth verse in the in the bible or something pretty close it was uh yeah that was right up there it feels like in the film student bible yes yes it is all right this is the game this is the one where we're going to do it you're going to do the thing i'm going to do the thing surreal are i can't remember no wait surreal you were on the fence i think as to whether or not you're going to tpf dice you're not going to tpf and tracy i'm assuming you're going to be there is that right yes okay i'm going to be in the tournament as well i'm definitely fairly certain i'm going to go i'm about 15 minutes away okay and monty was staying here one night so i have no excuse no excuse yes you should definitely be there i just won't be in that area of the country and i i will be busy completely understand i am opening my second dispensary in boston and then uh for a week after that i'm shooting up to sleepy hollow new york to shoot my next movie okay congrats and all that heck yeah man that sounds amazing what price is oh of missing the missing tpf got it that's the price as you were saying that i'm like oh amidst all these things what are you what are you missing out i mean at that point are you really missing out i'm missing out on my opportunity to go with surreal to get mozzarella sticks that is true is that the is that the restaurant surreal where where where i met you were there was it okay oh i can get those here oh there you go you can get mozzarella sticks anywhere too it's true i can get them here with fresh locally made cheese oh my gosh cop pulling dice over do you know why i stopped you that's the sorry surreal you were saying here's some random info as we've been sitting here i've been playing around with uh implementing the movie game oh really yeah apparently uh imdb's movie listing is almost 31 million movies oh okay so wow i'm gonna filter that i wonder how many more it's gonna be by tomorrow morning it's probably a lot because there's uh it's not exactly like george's movie game but it's a fun one to play uh whether you're with a group or just have one friend basically you can throw it any one word and type it into imdb and see how many results there are that that movie is named yeah he is and i'm sorry tracy what'd you say oh i'm just saying like loop mania that is my favorite that that's what brings me back to this game giving them warframes heck yeah i mean i can't play anything else right now but i am hitting those warp ramps and it feels really good game club central george is just loopy ah game club take a quarter of a point for that yes i don't know do you round that up to a half i can't go any higher than a quarter okay if surreal would like to throw in another quarter of a point and make it a half fine wow stingy yeah how about that since i like numbers so much right speaking of polynomials not that that was an actual polynomial i get that don't there's no reason to correct that the inaccuracy in that stage and it was just for funsies all right so uh death 5126 is this a new place uh yeah george has been here for uh for about a minute now a month and a month and a half month and i i was rounding down george but okay for uh uh three y minus five x uh multiplied it can be approximated by a polynomial we keep making movies any news on alec baldwin um last i heard no what's up with alec baldwin you didn't hear about that george no what a [ __ ] dramatic movie because they had a live round in the gun oh no i totally did hear about that i kind of just faced it that's right they were on set right yeah and nobody wanted the game nobody wanted the cop to as to how or why this happened right like how a live round got in that's that never should have even been anywhere near that set nope wow i skidoo welcome to the stream wow thanks for having a party without me guys i skidoo it it just drive your snow party over the weekend you were letting us watch that watch it snow in maine and it looked quite lovely some snow here in texas on thursday ooh we're supposed to get a lot of snow in colorado this week helen how you doing what's up george random question how are the driving conditions in colorado and the mountains uh it depends um so if there's a lot of snow it can be quite dangerous um i-70 sucks the the biggest issue is the traffic in the mountains um that's that's where things are going to kill you outside of that if you have four-wheel drive and snow tires you really don't have to worry about it you're you're solid coaches i'll ever get to that is getting stoned and binging ice road truckers time of the year does the snow actually start to be a thing in colorado yeah um it depends earliest at earliest it can it can snow in september uh i was up on winter park the last day of the mountain biking season and we got hit with like a foot and a half of snow two years ago also it is really dory hill uh i don't know i've only been to dory hill the one time and the Carl Weathers was amazing very close to blackhawk yeah that's why the magicians say the bullet catch is the most dangerous someone else is holding the weapon okay i see what you're saying there cnk that reminded me of one of my all-time favorite jokes and it only gets funnier as you get older other than that mrs lincoln how did you enjoy the performance um cnk dory hill is a really good time oh my god you should it is it is a heck of an experience how i'm gonna make it work but i have like i'd have a voucher um to fly somewhere and back uh i have no idea how i'm gonna get to you know doing from the airport or to a place like which place i'm staying at how to get to dory hill and back because i probably will be able to get a cabin uh my guess is i have to think about all that stuff but i want to make it work you should try and make it work and on top oh no on top of all of that uh i think fliptronic and and uh so jordan and becker are are planning on coming out so you might be able to jump in the truck oh wow i didn't know they were going to that whole thing the problem is if if if they can get get tickets there's it's limited entry and no matter what there's not enough places to sleep there yeah yeah i kind of i kind of figured that finding the cabin would be probably either impossible or highly improbable but getting to the tournament was better chances vert zillow welcome to the stream i need to get tai back over here oh and also i haven't gotten notification of shipment yet but the um the the game that uh the the rhythm game uh what was it called sound voltex uh i i ordered a controller i'm so excited to get that in because it's so fun it is absolutely great is it called sound vortex voltex v-o-l-t-e-x george just decided to skip beat saber and go for this new hot young thing well i i mean i've i i have played many rounds of beat saber am i on the second mode but on ball three i think this is i've had that but it's like i forgot what the heck it's called but there's a place called arcade ufo here in austin um and they have some interesting games it's like towards a like juby favorite play jubit um is that the the big the big cube looking thing yeah yeah like yeah smaller squares yeah but there is this other game that's kind of similar to this and there's like sensors on the side that go like like up and down so not only are you pushing you know whatever thing comes up on the track you're also when there's a certain type of image on the screen you're supposed to raise your hands and like like lower them and stuff as like it's almost like i guess lifting your guitar in guitar hero okay right and you get special yeah but it's but it's like that with your with your hands and your uh i don't know why i actually had to do it and simulate what you were talking about but when you said it i'm like oh i know exactly what you're talking about when you do the thing and you're and your the the all the buttons coming at you go bright blue like they're on fire yeah because it's got that light that spencer in it so it knows when you're lifting it yeah uh cnk that was basically the first reaction i had the first time i ever saw american history x someone at work just gave me it and didn't tell me anything about it and he's like bro i'm gonna talk about this tomorrow oh god i'm not gonna be able to sleep if i think about scenes from from acts i just yeah i haven't been able to look at a sidewalk for longer than a few seconds all right we're going to hit this left anyway hi ty yeah hi ty uh okay alan asked skiing or snowboarding for a first timer go uh skiing for a first timer snowboarding is hard i've always wanted a board i mean don't get me wrong snowboarding is better but uh oh cnk if you don't know what american history x is please don't watch it and don't be like my [ __ ] friend at work who handed it to me and he's like we're gonna talk about this tomorrow yeah if you don't know what it is please don't watch it if you know what it is please don't watch it american history x or right going for a dream go oh no efra i i'll take i'll take american history x over requiem for a dream oh i only ever saw requiem once that is all you ever need to see that movie and just the appropriate number of times to watch that movie that was enough for me to put my voice into a higher octave yep yep nope that movie is messed up i've seen trainspotting both of them more than i've seen requiem for a dream okay this trainspotting is also messed up but it's not as messed up as requiem for a dream um well i and i can kind of i buy it as a story because i know that either mcgregor would never actually do sure sure for the story absolutely um on that note what drug related movie do you think would make the best pinball machine fears okay that is pretty pretty dang good uh the ethereum oh man i don't know have i made the doors yet okay i don't know how that would look now that chappelle is kind of like a [ __ ] but you know a drug movie it's code i mean that would be a problem that people would right ah okay okay i like that i like that the wall by pinball mafia allen dazed and confused ooh i skidoo i'm jumping on board that limitless different type of drug but still it not the type of drugs i was thinking when i said that but still a drug and i absolutely love that movie now i'm not doing the movie or the tv show ooh i don't madness what if they did like the whole propaganda [ __ ] about how weed is just the worst and drives you nuts huh reefer madness i wouldn't buy one of those for lasers or lows a reefer madness pinball machine i would buy him one of those like what if there was just like a cannabis type game where it just talked about the actual flower and all the other stuff to it it wasn't actually like a licensed thing are you proposing an educational pinball machine yes i've actually thought about that chaotic's a nice ski dude jumping on cheech and chong at the same time i can just hear your mystery award now or smoking labrador uh yeah my dog got me my stash man but i got it back 12 hours later what am i on third one two vengeance multiballs ready oh i think it would work better as a v-pin and i'm not sure how well this movie is held up because i have not watched it recently but uh if i could get a grandma's boy table of some kind okay that movie was very druggy lana louie welcome to the stream i recognize being a great movie oh wait a second what about super great parts what george super troopers all right are we incorporating the second one because i was not impressed i mean first but wait a second if you could just pull out the funny parts from the second one i think it there's there's a couple of good good moments putting sprinkles on a piece of [ __ ] doesn't make it a sunday george wait a second why mr hardlock is pointing out kroll is there some drug use and cruel that i'm not remembering it's very much more enjoyable with drug use exactly death is saying just the first super troopers i i'm with you there death okay i could i could get behind that thought today all right one more shot i'm really struggling here i'm gonna try and hit this right right Steve Ritchie to make it do you think that's what he's making right now super troopers nobody what nobody could call it what about if there was a party monster themed one and they were talking about ketamine that uh that macaulay culkin movie yeah what oh you never saw party monster george that's uh that's an interesting trail i didn't i i did not see this it's seth green and mccully culkin in the club scene really seth green like red-haired seth green right this was my robot chicken peppery and this was austin power seth green okay george i propose an idea for you okay i think once a week you have to watch a movie that had been mentioned it's like a book club but the only member is you and it's not books it's movies you should watch a movie that we discuss so i think you should watch party monster before we talk next week i've been trying to get him to get past the second episode of gravity falls getting him to watch a movie is gonna be like point teeth hey but gravity falls is coming up i'm almost done with lucifer oh lucifer okay i'll allow it lucifer is so good it season four stops and i i just told me you're not watching that with zoe no my god uh she is eight not old enough for lucifer i will buy an slc punk machine my favorite matthew lillard movie ever if matthew lillard is pretty good at that hackers [ __ ] matthew willard here's a little uh jim let's do a senseless pinball machine with him and david spade why did it give me two balls right away i don't know what just happened there but whatever chaotix wasn't super bad that movie did technically have cocaine in it does anyone remember that would be spun what was it bun spun yeah i think it had like like wasallam in it i could make it fine like like a web has been spun the wheel has been spawned well that doesn't have morphine in it i'm currently googling spun from 2002. i drugged you i enjoyed groove quite a bit speed freak to the man who runs the meth lab a crazy three-day adventure ensues oh what about go wait wait wait wait this movie had mute the music done by billy corgan that's cool brittany there he was in it mickey rourke was in it jason schwartzman john like was that this is a great cast how how have i never heard of spun now it sounds like you're saying it's a weird i don't know i don't even know how to describe it what's great itchy movie american black comedy crime drama oh my god is it on prime video oh it's for free on prime video i can watch it drug movie to make into a pinball machine rush [Laughter] actually rush didn't use drugs that's their big thing right they didn't party or do drugs uh chaotix oh yeah well let's get a scarface pin going that may be the world's most power rated pinball machine just for the violence was there i don't know maybe i haven't seen that movie once our face came out george it had set the guinness world record for most amount of f-bombs per minute okay unless we've all been pronouncing it wrong and it's actually pronounced scarfacy [Laughter] it's like a it's an italian dish scar scarfacio hey can i get this guy joe uh ice skating was talking about the drug movie rush not the band oh yeah i skied you i thought i thought you were making a joke about the music group maybe allen loved go came out okay is that human trafficking my mother was like kitty homes yes so my friend actually lived for the longest time in the same apartment um complex that one that was shot in and he has like he has like still images he might have video i wouldn't put the past and have video as well but he has at least still images of him in like a wig doing the same positions as katie holmes and like the same stairwell because he lived like i said in the building that it was shot in but when i think of that movie i just think of that i don't remember anything about the movie at all i just like picture my friend doing the same things like in his stairwell i had something and i lost it yeah i had something for that no no same hey there we go that's how we get there i'm not smoking anything new tonight i'm back on my uh skywalker indica mixed with a little bit of rumps like rents the candy no the strain okay i'm thinking like please tell me when you buy runs do you buy all bananas if that were an option i would it is totally an option uh well i've seen that you can buy like giant bags of them but the the older i get that i try to stay away from candy really the only candy i uh that's what nowadays whenever i need a peppa some chocolate covered espresso beans okay it's chocolate covered what espresso beans oh espresso beans looking around my room here i probably have too many buckets of those uh mr scoot okay new drink revelation whipped cream sorry whipped cream vodka and orange juice it's an orange julius oh my god does it taste like an orange creamsicle oh it certainly sounds a lot [ __ ] better than vodka and pepsi never never gonna get let down on that mr scoot so might uh i did amber uh just uh a splash of amaretto uh dr pepper and whipped cream vodka uh just like that and you shut your booty mouth thank you hello mr scale it is good how you doing oh my gosh totally gonna get there and on that note i

without breaking everything alan have a great night thanks for stopping in dude always love seeing you bye ellen have a good one night alan uh okay we don't have duplicate audio so you guys can walk with me over here you have to check out the uh the fridge we're going on it's an adventure right okay cool so up top we have coke tonic and dr pepper that dr pepper is not half drink uh that's from the last time i made one of the drinks that i was just talking about so it's not i didn't drink out of the plastic it was poured out if that makes sense we've got some roasted garlic salsa so we've got uh some cayman jack's cuban mojito some cream soda and now this is also in any of these cocktails no my god yeah absolutely unless it's a lotta um we've got the peach from meridian hive i've got this i gotta face everything i spent way too much time uh working in uh in walmart is that mead or something yeah so it's a carbonated mead sangria some gmts we got that blackberry mead i think there's just plain honey there is there we go that's what we're doing it sounds amazing it is really good why is it not focusing focus oh there we go boom you sound like me talking to myself focus get back to work all right don't cross the street rabbit hole of the internet all right and what world are you gonna need a pair of nunchucks so it's gonna make a mix oh i do have uh uh egg whites but fliptronic and specifically uh becca is in here so i i can't i can't make the uh the egg white beverage without her it is one of her favorite drinks is it [Music] of course then tell her face when she's drinking it what the the words you're saying are accurate saying you saying it's one of her favorite drinks i distinctly remember her taking a sip making a face and going why is it so foamy all right here we go kobayashi for the first time tonight somehow you can extract from that that's one of her favorite drinks it's it's pretty close to one of her favorite beverages she's like hmm it's fine i'd hate to see how she reacts to a drink she does i work for a large retail store facing all the time the worst it's funny i i i i when i learned what facing was i'm like oh this is going to be great this like appeases my ocd and it it like got really bad and i hated it and then it came back around after like by year five of working at walmart i learned to love facing again see i didn't mind facing but i was also doing that while running the register so i'd be facing something and having to keep an eye on the register and running back and forth and by that point someone else came in and messed up what you just did retail would have been so great if it wasn't for the customers been there done that that would have been such a great job if i just didn't have to listen to people whine all day all right we're out of our shoot again we're in this mini wizard mode we need to hit the rest of these shots two times ice skater says kobayashi mario kart that was less than awesome less than stellar [Music] i'll take it i mean look at it this way george one man's less than stellar is another man's great day hey today is i should say this evening is a great day no question about it i'm really enjoying this there we go there we go so two more two more not good oh no give me that last shot i got that last one i was still oh no one shot away and then game over but hey we got the kobayashi maru at least once that was still a good feat that was it was okay it's always like so hard to take like oh my god i had one shot left that you know walking off with that feeling but you got there and you kicked butt all the way there yes i do want to get to five-year mission and enterprise amok and word that wasn't that wasn't close i'll do enterprise and muk though let's let's do enterprise i don't know i never did a mug i feel like i still haven't uncovered all that i can do on this on this game it's the the flow is great the colors and the i love that that i don't have to be a smart player to enjoy myself on this game like it's it doesn't require significant thought to progress and also put up a really good score or just suck hey i got a ball save out of that the game does like me fine ice key do i will placate your ego i won't promise you that eventually i'll get back to streaming in fact at this point maybe i never will ah why not george okay got it got it all right cool i'm i'm totally fine with the the sarcasm also you have almost gotten me to play uh cuphead multiple multiple times since then but instead i've just haven't played it yeah i think you should try it out george that's a lot of fun and it's such a gorgeous game to look at oh yeah no no i've played a lot of cup cuphead i just haven't played it recently and i i almost opened it up or or as they called it in greece cuphead what i mean if he was a greek god wouldn't his name be kufiad i don't know that wasn't great i'll i'll agree that wasn't great but that wasn't i've had better i've had better i don't understand the the greek thing about cooperate that's that's what i was saying um uh yeah george did you see the uh netflix trailer for the cuphead show uh i have not there's a cartoon coming and it's gonna be on for at least three seasons okay and all the characters from the game are in there it looks great it sounds great what was the new a new preview for uh for uh for a big movie just came out oh it's uh halo i don't know if it's a television series or a movie though i'm it's a television series on paramount plus and i'm uh in the great words of uh macho man randy savage prepacious yeah yeah that's uh they've been working on that since the first game came out they they have uh i i've actually seen clips from from the movies that they've tried to make previously it's it's the whole warcraft thing but that ended up being a fantastic movie and thanks for the chinese market we are getting a sequel but it's going to take them just as long to make the second one uh i never saw it i heard it was really bad so if you i very very much enjoyed it hmm tracy fellaini i i felt like while leaving out says if you knew nothing about the warcraft universe it's a very good primer to get you caught up um man if like arcane legends has just changed what we what what i i feel like we think we can get from a video game television show or movie well i mean microsoft just bought blizzard tony just bought bungie that just happened oh sorry video game because of our riveting conversation obviously yeah well i have nothing to say because i haven't tried cuphead yet i would like to i think cuphead looks cool i have not seen anything about the show i haven't watched hurricane legends uh give it a shot it's not a high barrier for entry i think full price it's like 20 bucks and it's fun but brutal looks right here fun fun but brutal and very good whatever print you end up paying for it comes with the first set of dlc and you'll get the second set later yeah i think my game pass expired i'd have to resubscribe if i want to be on it again i said somewhere i don't know steam or on xbox or something that they had it on sale but yeah when it's free or dollar maybe i will do it oh no what a waste of a multiball i didn't realize that was open going for that multiball there i'm terribly sorry for all this dead air i'm giving i'm trying to watch and talk and buy a ticket to Robert Englunds at the same time wow Robert Englunds i want to go to Robert Englunds i i've been working on a lot of stuff that i haven't even begun to tell you guys about but it's to the point where i'm already burning myself out and i need a vacation so i'm going to see some friends in Robert Englunds and then i'm popping over to Robert Englunds ireland then over to scotland then back home that'll that'll be in march cool that's awesome yeah now the borders are really cool i've been dying to get back over to especially scotland and ireland i have a lot of friends over there when i was in exchange students they're such beautiful countries i've been to Robert Englunds when i was like it was really pretty brought good Carl Weathers over it was like perfect for the few days that we were there can i surprise you've never been to like ireland george uh it's always been on the want list it just never never made it happen i i think you would really feel at home there i yeah the the ireland uh scotland uh Robert Englunds trip has it's there it's there it's gonna happen one day you you need to get out to ireland and see the cliffs of moore we do like a top five of where we want to travel to ooh i like that that'd be a good question yeah no is it uh does it have to be somewhere you've never been yeah that was my question no like if you could travel to five places like right now without any responsibilities or anything and not have to work not have to work not have to even pay for it what are the places you would go well my my first one is because i've seen this in so many movies and tv shows and i've always wondered how people can do this with no repercussion just get up and say yeah [ __ ] it let's go to vegas okay if you if you're bored in vegas that says more about you than what the town has to offer yeah there's so many like really good strip clubs there [Laughter] but for real like the sapphire club is like really great but i don't know there's there's a lot of gambling and if that's your thing sure well yeah and exactly for me that that is my thing i yeah not my thing but i love it uh i grew up i spent a lot of my time as a kid in vegas so it doesn't hold quite the same i feel like mystique uh as it does for others oh yeah because well when you live there you basically spend your time trying to drive around everyone else that's visiting uh right yeah you end up being the person who's just kind of walking everyone around um i don't know yeah it never uh yeah just it's kind of hard to to describe but didn't uh it wasn't my place but um ireland scotland and uh ireland and scotland and and Robert Englunds that's a that's a it's like a three-week trip that i've had high on my list for a while that and uh japan oh hell yeah don't mind me choking no worries um tokyo was a lot of fun that i i spent three very hazy nights in tokyo well because in tokyo like public drinking is okay you could just buy a six-pack and go to the park and drink it you'll just inevitably end up meeting someone and talking to them and your night just goes from there that is really cool that is i think kind of exactly what i'm looking for hmm the addicts wants to go to uh australia i enjoyed my time in australia australia is there chaotix i used to always want to go australia and then i thought about all the really awful creatures that could harm me and i thought you know what maybe not uh don't don't let that discourage you i'm just saying that i'd rather you don't have that threat as i i suppose you you you should go to uh go to the university center in bendigo and it the kangaroos there are so domesticated they literally just lay out on the front lawn sunning themselves and waiting for someone to come by and offer them food i already have a kangaroo did you not like see my dog you've not seen photos of him i already have a kangaroo at home we don't need kangaroo joe soap is in australia and just do what i do stay in the pinball bars in brisbane there you go i would like to check out the pimples even in australia yeah it seems pretty big don't go to thailand you'll experience true happiness and the rest of your life will feel bleak i've heard some interesting things i i don't know if i'd ever go to thailand willingly no offense to the country but i i've seen some documentaries on bangkok thank you so much for that follow me i'm sorry what'd you say tracy i was just saying like that might be a cool place to go to maybe not in my top five but i don't know i would want to go to like um like norway or something nice orlando's beautiful i've been before but i'd like to go there again um argentina is really freaking pretty i want to go iceland i don't know i'm afraid to go to south america i mean i am as well being a a female right it's yeah dangerous to do pretty much anything but um yeah tracy long you a fake mustache you'll be fine yeah i'll just go as weird out there you know yeah weird all's on vacation in argentina yeah don't touch me he's the legend he's according to put on a show into performing as weird al for a bunch of people i mean if they didn't know any better i think i think i think he can get behind it like it's just says the greatest place on earth is lambeau field yes i'm a huge cheesehead okay alex you need to raise your standards for great place i'd say that living 25 minutes away from it it always looks so cold that's because it always is cold george it's you grew up four hours away from me you know how cold it gets yeah yeah it's just no one ever takes a picture at lambeau field and looks like they're comfortable it always like every picture is is how how crazy people are wearing the cheesehead costume in in you know negative 65 degrees you know awesome because i wish i was that much into anything to to give that much energy to suffer through cold Carl Weathers with a bunch of like yellow paint on my face i'm wearing a freaking giant cheese well they're all wasted yeah just be so drunk that's that's what we do here if you've ever been wasted and gotten more energy to do stuff like god bless you because when i drink and i get wasted i don't want to be doing a bunch of stuff like i won't be putting makeup on or like being out in the [ __ ] cold i won't be relaxing on a couch somewhere in her blanket blankets would be involved for sure so it's quite the opposite we're in wisconsin that's the epitome of fun that's as fun as it gets in wisconsin is i'm sorry wait drinking on a blanket getting plastered painting yourself and going and beating other people up over a team who the person you're beating up has absolutely no impact on the game at hand if it could be eight degrees here in texas again like it was in february last year when we had that awful awful polar vortex where i had to [ __ ] burn furniture to stay warm and i'll be severely upset is that is that supposed to happen we're getting closer uh i don't on thursday i mean not as bad as that and yeah i'm hoping that the power doesn't [ __ ] up again but yeah george we're having a heat wave it's currently 30 degrees here that says everything you need to know i feel like about about wisconsinians right there last week it was negative eight without the windchill and all we well at least it's a dry heat tommy boy cow tipping we're brothers now we can do all kinds of weird things oh my god tommy boy that's a movie i have not seen in a while and i don't actually need to see it i have every moment of that movie uh timmy giggles in california yes but uh you know every time california is burning down at least i could get to see the smoke going over wisconsin they get to enjoy it with a beautiful sunset that is true a sunset and smoke actually that's more true for me than ever a sunset in a smoke that's all i need to be happy i was about to say is that because you are actively smoking right now no i was actively smoking okay chaotix was just gonna say always burning oh sorry no i'm sorry tracy go ahead no no what were you saying about burning i was just gonna say cali is always burning oh god you gotcha well that's not true they have mudslide season and they have summer those are the three seasons they have but i was just talking about tommy boy it was not important at all i was just saying isn't that guy in a little coat from tommy boy a stat guy in the local state that chris farley was from and is buried and tommy boy is very important tommy boy is just awesome i i still love every moment of that film i also love black sheep and i have a very very hidden soft spot for beverly hills oh my ninja i just saw that recently again oh my gosh now what did you think on your on your recent re-watch was it did does it hold up i forgot it just as much as i did right before i watched it that time it's it's also just in a hole in the back of my head somewhere not to be dug up again for another 20 years yeah i was about to say 20 years over a food it would be cotton candy i don't get it because you you're enjoying it while you're in it but once it's gone you're hungry again and you're onto something with more substance wow that had a lot more thought behind it than i i assumed you were you were adding to that that was well said i occasionally have a poignant idea or two game club central george can you recommend a powered usb hub for my cx-405 can i cheap out or do i need the 45 anchor [Music] i have two of the 45 anchors uh but i actually don't use that over here i have a i have a big surge protector with usb power on it so i just i just run a usb extension up to the cx-405 from the the big the the big surge protector the problem is those kicks out i just wanted to uh say it real quick before we get into any other deep discussions all right thank you for hanging out nice talking with you all yeah and i hope we all could travel to all the places that we want to go to back at you okay peace out y'all have a good night yesterday oh for the cam link the cam link doesn't require oh so what are my says powered from its own charging block did yours come with a charging block mine did not oh but that's because i i think i've i've bought all of mine used get you being thrifty very thrifty on the cx-405s that's so oddly specific i for whatever reason on on no wait i do not want to upgrade this one yeah the cx-405 is one that is like consistently available [Music] so what does that mean it's like very middle of the road yeah it's a really common one so you can sorry it's consistently available used this was the final word of that sentence that i was supposed to say everyone's always operating got it yes and you can typically you can find it well for a while there you could find it for like 75 to 80 bucks game club central into my pc i get some weird video issues very occasional like a static hiccup i'm going to hold out for the cx-406 thank you very much so old school um got mine for 70 bucks but that was a steal they go for 125 to 150. yeah i got i got quite a few for around that 70 bucks and then i got three for 50 a piece i ended up selling those on uh also at 50 bucks on on the discord because you gotta help out uh oh we got doubled for so many seconds i don't normally do this y'all but i'm uh i think i'm gonna buy it for the night too i've got a flight in the morning all right guys we are gonna probably be done here in just a minute this is most definitely the last game thank you so much for hanging out tonight i can hang out until you're done then oh and you you you do you man that's if you got it over here especially because of a yeah that's new orleans they're used to people being intoxicated what you know this is going to be the longest game ever now right all right so we're on our last battle i think i don't know what lock that is is that in case real wants you to tell them about your movie idea what what your movie idea broken blossoms oh is that what they're talking about i thought they were asking about whatever movie you're gonna go make uh that was so long ago that i must i assumed him for talking to you is the cnk could you please clarify uh i ski do no no i i booked this last week no the flight a book moments ago ice skate do was to Robert Englunds for march i'm like johnny cash i've been everywhere man i'd say i'm about 60 percent of the way that was coding this game and i'm out of steam oh my god is this is this is this the movie game game is that what you're coding he wants to hear about mine okay okay uh all i can offer right now is that we are shooting it in sleepy hollow new york which was the inspiration for the legend of the headless horseman it's where the author was from live died and it's um i guess i'd call it a supernatural thriller a musical supernatural thriller taking place in sleepy hollow new york yes that sounds awesome you know says sometimes the weed leads you in directions you wouldn't think and then you put two and two together and you're like there's no way i can make this work and then you try out a small small idea and you're like okay there might actually be something here and then you get a few investors together and you have a whole other auditions and next thing you know you get a movie conan um it should be fun unfortunately the process of making movies is nowhere near as fun to make as they are to watch but but it is very creative if you can get a team around you that's all really dedicated to the cause and uh usually uh whenever i'm around i like to shoot around that area because i can get nyu film students super cheap and uh in exchange for their basically not paid work except for getting food uh something they can put on their resume they get a credit saying they helped in the movie oh is it basically covent ii um no no mine is much more high concept it's in three acts i'm hoping i can keep it under two and a half hours but we've got a very insane schedule for for when that does happen uh we're gonna have the whole thing shot in about a week okay how many people are involved in living off of red bull and coffee covered espresso or chocolate covered espresso beans sorry how many people are involved at this point uh well i am the writer director and part producer i did throw on a part of the money i have two other uh investors coming on who are also taking on a producer role and then i'd say our main cast is about four and supporting characters probably about 50. okay wow dang that sounds like a ton of fun and you're headed out to actually do it or is this pre-production kind of stuff uh this is going to be pre-production kind of stuff the composer of the music who and he actually did a fantastic job lives out in new orleans so i'm going going with him to uh i'm gonna sit in on the final mix i could have done it over the internet but you know packet loss and all that i i may not be hearing what i'll actually be hearing so i'd rather just be there okay yeah if there's a good opportunity if there's a reason to go to new york the best in the world sure sure no shortage of fun to be had in new orleans awesome well uh dice okay don't panic flip the music the musical i don't even know what that would just be bricks and people building houses from all of their bricks but i would absolutely have you played by bruce campbell by bruce campbell [Laughter] i'd watch that yeah yeah i'd watch that too especially if it was a musical i i just want to see bruce campbell in a musical uh george i don't know if it's the shirt you're wearing but uh you got some pokage happening sorry you got me excited apparently yeah let's just do that i just didn't want that shirt to rip and on that note cnk i'm thinking steve buscemi thank you so much he is a fantastic actor and a hell of a human being right now he was he was an ex-firefighter that actually volunteered on 911. no yeah he went back to his old firehouse and he helped out however he could because he lives in new york that's cool yeah steve assembly is an amazing human being yeah chaotix thank you so much for those bits my uh my hat's off to you and i redeemed george just five minute tap dance routine 1500 points that's definitely not happening i don't i don't know even how to do that um well first you get you put on some tap shoes right step one there's that and then i guess it's a wood floor i probably damage the wood floor i don't think that that that works here george i'd worry more about you damaging yourself before anything happened to the floor because the thing about even though they clack really well they're super slippery they are super slippery uh zoey so this is actual hardwood but we got zoe tap shoes and she destroyed my engineered hardwood floors in about a minute and a half so now i'm really really uh now i'm really worried i guess about destroying them with tap shoes um a random movie i just thought of as wonder woman exclamation point movie oh did surreal did you just set up something there yeah i coded a bot while we were talking is that available to everybody yeah a random movie i just thought of is commutation for guy fisher okay so this would be did you link that to the imdb thing where you can input any one word uh no not exactly uh um i started writing the back end or i don't know the guts the framework for the movie game that uh george was talking about i like that from here on out i'm calling the framework of the guts i think the way that this ought to work is that you could just have people in chat opt in and at any given time somebody comes up with a new movie and it passes to the next person playing lets you know who that is and then everybody else in check and george look at mine a random movie i just thought of is honda civic del sol jump james bond style television oh that's great the opportunity shuttle life wicket okay that apparently exists yeah the delinquents interviews i can't wait to keep playing with this oh my gosh this
