TL;DR

Casual GOTG Pro gameplay stream disrupted by technical issues and extended off-topic conversation.

Summary

Don't Panic Flip stream 553 features extended casual gameplay of Guardians of the Galaxy Pro while the host George and guests engage in meandering conversation about candy flavors, beverages, RC cars, Dungeons & Dragons miniature painting, crane operation, and various tangential topics.

happen with uh with switch okay let's take a look at your live okay and on top of that obs needs to think about mine which seems like a
0:30
Thank you. really quick and pull it off you know what I mean I mean, I was talking about Merkins, so.
4:04
Oh, dear. Right, Merkins. Sorry, what's a Merkin? I'd love to explain. No. I'll lay it out on that one. Have you had some of any conversations with us? On stream, so what?
4:18
A Merkin is something that they used on the set of The Bridge with Elsie to make Jeff Bridges smile in one of the tripping out scenes. George is trying to talk to his chat.
4:36
Good bit of trivia. Okay, Frisco Pinball, coming up with a... Is that what a merkin is? Yeah. It is. They were in fashion in, like, the 1600s because of the lice problem.
4:53
Mmm. So they probably had to shave and then wear it, do... Got it. Correct. It was the powdered wig thing and the merkin.
5:05
This conversation got way better than my five questions for the night. Aren't you glad I showed up? Yes. So, really quick recap on who we have in the stream. We have Dance Panda, a.k.a. Jay-Z. We have Ice Ski-Doo. We have Joe Hills. We have Sammy Higgins. We have Tracy from Outer Spacey. And now Surreal underscore seven. Everyone, welcome.
5:34
Hello. Oh, howdy. So Merkin... No, I'm just kidding. Yeah, can you change your name to Merkin Expert?
5:45
Sorry, what about a Merkin Expert? Yeah, Surreal, a.k.a. Merkin Expert. Got it. New nickname. Because I have a few. It doesn't make me an expert. They call those Patriots.
5:58
Yeah, yeah. Merkin, not Martin. You're in North, but you need to speak Merkin. Okay. I think Surreal did the best thing for fixing it. It's like when you tell the mechanic something, you're on your car, and he comes and looks at it, and the thing stops making and like... That's the best way to fix things sometimes. Yes. And then the other mechanics stand around making inappropriate jokes until you're fixed. That's the Merkin. Charging for their time.
6:38
Hold on. There's a charge for this? No, you just said, well, it's fine. We are the ones that charge. Right, right. But the thing that I would charge for is knowing when to say it. Yes. Like the bastard who popped his head into your room. Looks like we've got good mood George back. Welcome back. Yes, thank you. I don't like technical difficulties. Did I miss bad news or bad mood George? Oh, wow. As bad news or as bad mood as he gets.
7:13
Like, was that really a bad mood? No, I don't think you were in a bad mood. I think you were just resigned to the fact that the stream wasn't going well from a tech standpoint. And I've been there, too. Like, especially when I first moved here, I had all sorts of problems with the Internet.
7:28
And the Comcast guys were like, maybe it's something with one of your neighbors. They might be turning something on that's not shielded properly at awkward times. And I'm like, okay, so what should I do about that? Like, do I need to build some sort of complicated RF interference machine? or just start knocking on doors with an aluminum bat? Like, what is that? What is that? That's illegal.
7:54
Have you built a Faraday cage around your house? Right. Thank you for pulling that out. I was trying to think of what the term was for, like, an RF protection device. Yeah, the problem is that they were like, no, no, the unshielded device, it wasn't radio that was, like, interfering with the Wi-Fi. They're like, yeah, it seems like somebody just has, like, a faulty old television they jacked directly into the cable network without the proper RF shielding on the cable line. So they're just blowing interference up the pipe.
8:28
That's so weird. I know. It's very frustrating. Because, yeah, they're like, there's not much we can do unless we catch them doing it. And I'm like, I'm so glad that I pay for business class internet so that you come out here and tell me that every time. This is a great use of both of our mornings, like, repeatedly. Thanks. It's a whole new class of criminal that maliciously takes the RF shielding off of their televisions.
8:58
George, I don't think we got answers on the Sandy questions from, I think, two people. Oh, really? Oh, that's right. We have three new people. I just got a word. There's probably involved? Yes.
9:13
So, what was the question? The question was, be it a Starburst or a Dum Dum, what is your favorite flavor?
9:22
And George is going to mail it to you. What? That was by far the worst multi-ball I think I've ever seen. Just throwing that out there.
9:36
But it's fine because we have internet. I don't think I can listen to this, because I think the only thing that's sweet that I like is chocolate, and not just a different order of the scenario.
9:48
Okay. You ever had chocolate-covered gummy bears, or just the regular gummy bears? Oh, man, chocolate-covered gummy bears. I've never had that. I have never had that. Yeah?
10:01
I didn't know that existed. I also did not know that existed. I'm learning a lot of good things today. Yeah, I'm blowing your mind with chocolate gummy bears. I learned a lot about all the different candy types when I worked at the movie theater. Because we had those big bins where you had the scoops and people would just come in and scoop it. But I don't know, we're probably like quarter pound. It was like $7.50 per quarter pound. Yeah. That was like in 97, so it was crazy. Pie or peanut still has gummy bears dissolved into vodka, which sounds interesting. I tried that once. It was not very good. I did that for a Halloween party one year. It was pretty neat. Yeah. When I had that. Oh, go on. Oh, how many regular Starburst flavors are there? Three? Four. Four. What's the fourth? Cherry, orange, strawberry, and lemon.
10:57
Oh, okay. Watermelon. All right, so red. Oh, watermelon would be good. Red is cherry, Yep. Does it favorite? Red is the best, but if we're talking about dum-dum flavors, that comes in everything.
11:12
Right, but what do you like? Is there one that sticks out? I like the mystery flavors where they're actually changing the flavor in the machine. There you go. And it comes out, and it's just whatever.
11:24
I like the root beer. It always tastes like root beer. Don't ask me. I like the root beer. Yeah, root beer's good. Root beer's good. I like the root beer. I like cotton candy.
11:46
Sorry, what was that? Is it real? I also like cotton candy. I'm not afraid to say it. I actually don't like cotton candy in general. Ooh, pineapple is really good.
12:03
but it wasn't represented very well for packaging. The other alternative is to use Skittles, says Higher Peanut, then filter the grit out with filter paper.
12:15
Oh, I'm assuming to soak them in vodka? Yeah, so here's the thing. I went to a late-night screening of a film Rubber at our local independent theater, and they always made a custom mixed drink. And so the custom-mixed drink for Rubber was that they made you a vodka-like lemonade with a bunch of gummies in it. And you know what? Infusing the gummies, bad idea. But just throwing a bunch of gummies into a drink with vodka and sugar anyway, a little bit of sugar acid, not a terrible drink. Pretty okay. I thought it was interesting. I mean, the film was bizarre. So why not have a weird drink? Was Rubber the one about the killer tire? Yeah, it's a killer tire that uses its spike of powers to kill people throughout the American Midwest. I never saw that, but I heard about it. It was a wild ride from start to finish.
13:14
I would have thought maybe lemonade and licorice. I could die. I'm one of those weird people that actually likes black licorice. Hey, I'm in great company. Thank you, guys.
13:30
I don't know what a joia looks like. It sounds interesting. There was a prickly pear cotton candy margarita at Meow Wolf in New Mexico that was darn tasty. I can't wait to check out Meow Wolf. You should definitely check out Meow Wolf.
13:49
One in New Mexico. That sounds good. Or a regular tree. Yeah. Am I the only one that mixes strawberries?
14:00
I usually mix the strawberry and cherry and then the orange and lemon. When you say mix them, what do you mean? I mean eat two at the same time. Oh, I can barely eat one at the same time, so I'm not a good example here. I definitely do not mix. I have to be at the same place. Oh, Frankenstein, okay. You weren't here when I discussed it earlier, but when I was a kid, I used to take, like, the four different flavors and hold them in my hand until they were kind of soft, and then I would just press them into a ball and roll it and eat it like a munchkin or something like that. I did that with Reese's Pieces. Oh, yeah? So basically you made Starburst Suicides.
14:46
Starburst Suicide. Wow, you guys have great names for these. You know the Maid Suicides? It's where you go to the soft drink, self-serve thing, and you just put in everything. Nope. And they're disgusting. But yes, we did it all the time. They're fine. They just taste like root beer.
15:07
One of them is always overpowering, Danny. Yeah. This is the non-adult King's Cup. Oh! I totally know King's Cup, though. That's the card game where you have to put a different drink. You put a bit of your drink into the middle, and whoever loses at the end has to drink it. Yeah. I've lost one of those. It was the worst experience. The worst alcohol experience of my life. That sounds fun. Let's do that. Drink your drinks, George. Can you remind us what you're consuming? Oh, yeah. Oh. So, I am... Oh, my God. This game is eating me tonight. So I am drinking, uh, switch that over there. That is more of the Washington Apple in reverse from Crown Royal. I need to find that. Seven percent. It's so good. If you could find it, it is amazing. Jay-Z, are you also drinking this?
16:09
I cannot see a button on my picture, darn it. Yes, I am. I am also drinking Crown Apple, Crown Royal Washington Apple, 7% alcohol with Canadian whiskey, apples, and cranberry juice. And the reason I brought that up is because, Sammy, everyone I have gotten to try this has been, like, sold. So when we were in Nashville, Queen Dark Lady made a drink with the Crown Royal something apple, and we mixed it with, gosh, I think Queen Dark Lady is here, so she can correct me. But she mixed it with something, and it was like the best drink that I've had in a long time.
16:59
I don't know if I have that. We made some moonshine one time, and it was called Apple Cider Moonshine, and I swear it didn't taste like alcohol at all. And you could just drink it like it was, like, an apple drink or something. And you'd get smashed. You'd get smashed. I was going to say, I think that's what's called apple pie moonshine. That might be what you get. But it's not just the cider element. It's got kind of this weird, sugary, flakiness to it that really cuts through a lot of the alcohol. I made that one. It's tasty alcohol.
17:34
Yep, I made it. I made like 32 gallons of it for Christmas. What? Oh, my God. You had to get a distiller's license? I mean, I bought the Everclear. Oh, okay. I didn't want to make people go blind. Oh, God, Everclear. Yeah. You don't get a license for moonshine. That's the point.
17:57
And what you do is you boil the apple pie spice with the apple cider. and then you mix it with the other sugar and then you bottle it and you let it, you know, ferment for 11 days.
18:19
And I'm like, obscene amounts of sugar. Yeah, it's a lot of sugar. Wait, you said 11 days is not just like the amount you had or is that like a specific guideline that you have for me to use? I mean, it was just the recipe that I had. Yeah, it was really good. So if you have not had that, I definitely recommend it.
19:06
I gave you, George, a couple bottles, and then at that time somebody's cousin gave you guys a couple bottles. Yep. And apple cider whiskey coming out of your ears right here. Oh, yeah, we had a ton of apple cider. I mean, we drank it all, which I feel like was the most surprising part of that.
19:29
Does this company make other blends of, like, different varieties of apples, like Portland or Macadosh or Grantsmith? Can you repeat that?
19:40
Say it again? They make peach, right? Yeah, they have a peach sweet tea, and then there was a third option. It was like a Crown and RC Cola. Oh my god, this mode.
20:07
With the guy's face. That's not score. I just want to get to say Xandar. I really don't care about the score. I want to get to the point where I can just get rid of this game.
20:24
And to do that, I need to get to Save Xander. Oh my god, are you kidding? Is this something you own, or it's borrowed? This is owned. Okay, so you're trying to unload it? Yes. This is borrowed from Joe Hills. Sure, yeah.
20:48
Squalito, welcome to the stream. I missed what you said. Yes, I do want to sell this one. This was a, this was a, I never got to, um, to save Xandar, and I wanted to get it again, so that way I could, I could actually get to it.
21:06
I mean, this is a really fun game for kids to practice on, because of the different modes. I mean, I don't know, maybe you might have played it out, but have you gotten to play it with your kid? Uh, no, Zobog hasn't... I can't... I feel like I can't get her super into pinball right now at all. And it's just because we have... It's a bad excuse. We just have too many other toys. I feel like she's just too spoiled right now to... Between the Switch and RC cars... Oh my god, that is how this game is treating me every single time I play it. one bow then lose a ball you put in your one hour pinball before you can have time to switch right you know and then we went and did the bicycle and the skateboard thing and she's loving her skateboard there's just I can't even though it's like here in the house you have to walk through the pinball machines to get going that she so rarely ever plays unless her friends come over and her friends are like oh my god it's pinball I want to play and then she's like oh let me show you how to play pinball and that's her eight-year-old self trying to show the six and the ten-year-olds how to play pinball. Did she blow it up at that point?
22:23
You know, she's played TNA a decent amount, and that's kind of her go-to game. But she has not seen Guardians of the Galaxy yet, so I think maybe thematically that's another reason why.
22:41
And Jedi McMuffin, no, I did not win yet. But we haven't broke the internet or OBS again since then.
22:49
So that's a positive. Oh, hey, I see your shout-out thing there. When you use the word to, like, Tambien, not as, like, a...
23:01
Oh, no, no, no. It should be T-O-O. But in my defense, I just stopped using the one that I built, and I used a pre-built one that StreamerBot suggested. And I switched over tonight because there's a bunch of pre-made StreamerBot integrations with Twitch that you can do. And they allow you to export an action sequence and tie in to an event. And it ends up coming through.
23:32
Hi, Surreal. And it ends up coming through almost like an encrypted JSON web token. And you copy and paste it in, and it builds it out inside of StreamerBot. It's a really cool feature. Um, all of that to say, I would never make that mistake, Joe, because I correct everyone else I'm missing too. No, that's fine. Cause I'm also like, oh my gosh, it's after midnight. I'm like, what's the word for preposition? I was, I was, thank you for saving me. Cause I was just going to drown in not remembering the word preposition. Thank you. Oh my God. You just, yeah, I have to. Okay. Do you, did you know that they stream too? Now I got to double check everything. They're pretty fun to watch. I'm just going to, you don't even have to say as well. They're pretty fun to watch.
24:16
And then the next one is you should give them a follow over at where they were last playing game. Done. Save. Awesome. So now when we do a shout out, that happens. Ooh, speaking about that, I did some other fun things today, which is, nope, not doing the smelling salts.
24:37
I don't know if anyone's seen this one. I did, is it going to work? Awkward colors for a little bit. Jetta McMuffin. And then it should set it all back Okay great We went back And here was the other fun one that I came up with earlier today Oh Which is honestly an oldie but a goldie But I tied in light changes as well.
25:08
Which would be... Black and white? It got there eventually. Ooh, it came back. I'm a big fan of the Luma.
25:21
Yeah. And what else did we get going here? Oh, so, yeah, I brought back the Screaming Sun, but it does a little bit more. I'm not going to show that one because that's awesome. And then the Smelling Sun. Oh, thank you. Surreal.
25:37
Did you say you had gotten the light bars on the wall to connect with the headlights? Yep. So none of us can hear.
25:46
In this angle. I'm grateful I can't hear the Screaming Sun. Yeah, we can't hear the screaming, son. Oh, I turned up the stream. It's so good.
25:58
I think I can hear it from somebody else that's on the call. Oh, that made me so happy. Do you want me to add, like, bumper nugget screaming walking into your place that one time?
26:14
I could make that as intro. You get up and your muffin says, can you hear the scream? No, thankfully.
26:30
George, you said your daughter was playing, like, RC Car Race, right? Yes. Do you ever go to RC Car Race when you're in school? No. No, I was younger. My daughter was really into it, and I was really into it every now and then, too.
26:42
We used to have that out here. So, A, the RC car stuff is just the new Nintendo Switch AR stuff we were talking about last stream. Oh, okay. I thought you meant, like, actual. No. No, no, no. But still, what's interesting, I never, oh, my God, I missed the flipper. That's totally my fault. But the, I mean, it's all my fault because I'm the one playing here. But it's interesting you bring that up because there used to be a cool hobby store in town that did RC and planes and eventually drones. But they, I don't know if they went out of business or if they moved someplace else, but they used to do RC car racing in the parking lot every weekend. And it was one of those, like, I stopped by and watched it a few times and then like, man, this seems like the kind of thing you could really get into. so I never ended up doing it but it was always one of those bucket list items like I think I'd I think I would really enjoy RC car racing doing around my area in the 90's some place not too far out of town had built this big dirt track with like stands to operate the thing and look down over the track it had like hills and berms and all these different crazy things somebody had built some elaborate setup people to go race RC cars. But I never got into it either.
28:12
You know, I'm like a dirt track, and I live in Florida, and they hold competitions and stuff there. And also, my dad was really into, like, race cars, and, like, BMWing and stuff, and he forced us to go along with him all the time.
28:30
Conventions and that. I was not very interested in that, but they did have, like, RC car races there as well. that all the kids were involved in. That was pretty fun.
28:40
Oh, so in the racing, like when you would go to car racing, there would be RC car racing there? Well, like you would get to something, like it would be like his pinball at pro, I guess. Okay. And one of the events, the side events there, was for kids to race RC cars. I was born to, like, HO scale, like, train sets and all the different stuff you could build around it and all the little buildings you could buy. Cute.
29:13
A lot of money you could spend on that stuff. Oh, yeah. I used to paint miniatures a lot for Dungeons & Dragons. Oh, wow. Nice.
29:24
Do you have, like, a 3D printer? You should do that stuff right now. No. that is the one reason I've always wanted a 3D printer but it just never felt like I would actually use it to do anything useful it always seemed like one of those expenses like one of these days I'll totally pick one up when they become cheaper and work consistently without me having to fix things I think we're well past that I just have never prioritized actually picking up a 3D printer I can attest that as soon as you do if you find a thousand excuses to print something. Yeah, like, for example, the clip on my rice cooker that holds the little paddle broke the day I got it out of the box. The rest of the rice cooker is great, but I need to, like, print another little clip.
30:15
You know what? I still haven't bought the 3D printer. It's been, like, four years since that clip broke. But in the back of my head, I'm like, that's the first thing I'm going to do is print this 95-step part with this brand-new expensive 3D printer.
30:28
During that, we have a maker space in town where you can have access to industrial 3D printers that are like laser, super high-end stuff. You pay like $15 to go in and utilize their equipment instead of buying one yourself.
30:49
I don't know how long you guys are at, but I feel like that's a really good compromise. When the first one opened up in Nashville, I was trying to describe it to one of my friends. I'm like, it's like a gym, but for tools. And he's like, you mean just a gym?
31:04
And I'm like, no, because you want the tools instead of the gym equipment. Okay, I get it. That's a really good description for a major space actually.
31:15
You're such a tool. It took me way too long to get that joke. I'm sorry. Yeah, well, here's the thing, George. I was going to say, if you want to do a model painting stream sometime, you know, I do paint minis on stream occasionally. We can hop on Discord. You have good cameras and lights and stuff. You know, obviously it wouldn't be a replacement for one of your pinball nights, but, like, if you ever just, like, hey, I got some extra time around the holidays and Zoe's with her mom, like, you know, my kid might be with the other side of the family, too. Like, we could do a hangout, you know? Oh, my God, I'm in. I have, it's been too long. Like, I used to have all the gear. I had the multi-level thing that holds all the different paints on, like, multi-spinning, like, platters. And I had the, like, 18 different... Oh, sorry, what?
32:08
I was just making up hyper-carousel, but it sounds close. Sure, no, it sounds... Yeah, no, no, no, the hyper-carousel, I had the hyper-carousel. I had, like, 18 different brushes. I was constantly watching videos on how to dry brush appropriately and what situations you would do a wet brush situation when you want to add shadows there was a time when I was really really into it and it's been entirely too long so yeah, I think there's justification for doing it again and maybe putting some you always have plenty of player character I feel like characters to choose from But never enough NPCs for when you're running an adventure. So that, at some point later in the D&D world of miniatures and role-playing, when I started DMing a lot, I realized that I need, like, regular townspeople. And not so much monsters or anything like that. Like, I need, like, 30 or 40 different townspeople in different situations. And that's what I want to spend my time, I feel like, mini-painting, is to make sure that I have enough to fill up a bar situation. Or when something is attacking a house, I have minis that can represent the people in the house as opposed to using other monsters, which is what I've often had to use before to represent the standard non-magical NPCs. So I'm in. Antifee, all has arrived.
33:38
Bumper Nugget! Hey, speaking about Dungeons & Dragons, we just finished up League last week, which I could not attend, but I had a really, really good work meeting that went on until a little after midnight. But that means that we've got several weeks right now where we have nothing tentatively planned for Wednesdays.
33:59
Also, this is not going well. Just me hitting save Xantar is really, really unlikely. Also... I feel like you've already had the victory of the night, So, like, you know, getting your internet to work. Internet functional. I'm right there with you. I think that is absolutely a massive victory.
34:24
I mean, it'd be great if I could beat the game, too, but... Oh, yeah. That's like having your... I mean, it's a hard game to beat. So, like, I mean, even just getting Cherry Bomb was a real challenge for me. Yeah, maybe hit that four or five times the entire time I owned it. You know, it's, or not owned it, rented it. Sorry. Oh, my God, no. In my apartment. No, you owned it the whole time, George. I'm not trying to take that from you. Oh, my God. It's fine. I got what you were saying.
35:01
I was just still thinking. Yeah. There we go. Get that last one. Did we get there? Did we get it? Were we even close? Am I getting the Yaka era? I made it. That last shot. The grace periods on this are great.
35:21
Not good. There we go. Thank you. You know, I'm working on those saves. I call them slide saves, I guess.
35:37
You'll put a tilt bob in those machines, though, George, one day. There is a tilt-bob in this machine, and it is set very high.
35:49
There's a tilt-bob, and I call it off. All right, all right, I'll take that nudge. Oh, no. Sure, we'll do that, too.
36:06
This might be it. This might be the one. So next question is, if you could be a master at something, what would it be?
36:22
Burning. Burning? Earning money. Oh, a master at earning money. Got it. No, learning. Oh, learning. Yeah, I would totally choose that as well. That's a good one. I think master crane operators make a lot of money. They do. I only spend, like, eight hours a week actually operating a crane, and the other 32 hours a week in, like, a training sim. And I already spend, like, 32 hours a week in training sims called Minecraft. So, like, I think that, like, master crane operators make, like, $700,000 to $850,000 a year. Like, that'd be fantastic.
37:04
I mean, there's, like, six of these jobs in New York City. But, like, if you can get them, that's a good job. Yeah. I think it was master electrician.
37:16
I think they call that supply and demand. Right? There's not a lot of demand for it, so it's super, super expensive. Maybe. I don't know.
37:29
Oh, you're talking about the crane operator thing? Yes. now joe do you do you have any interest in actually operating a crane like was that i mean no but i want to be good at i'm not gonna pay me anything for mastery and so i might as well like do a few years of crane operation in manhattan make bank and then go practice other stuff and eventually get good at it that's gonna never make me anything yeah you're not you're not I'm not going to tell him no.
38:09
I don't know. Have you ever backed up an RV by any chance? No. And, you know, I'm sure crate operation is way harder, and you're doing a really convincing way to talk me out of this. I would like a U-Haul with a trailer attached to it. There you go. Okay, cool. Yeah. That's kind of what I'm getting at, though. Like, it's almost like a dexterity-based game, except the consequences are so real. Right? Like, that's kind of what crane operation, I feel like, is all about.
38:52
It's a, can you move it a little bit? Okay, 3D, figure out where it is. I'm going to move it just a bit more. Okay, I'm going to release. and it drops something into a particular position. Like, it's almost to me like crane operators specifically have been one of those things that I've never wanted to do in the same way that I've never wanted to kick field goals for a living on a football team. In fairness, George, in fairness, the thing is, the question was, what would you like to have mastery of? I don't know that I would want to do the work to become a master crane operator, But I feel like if I magically was that good at crane operation, that I'm, like, one of six people that can operate a crane 110 stories up in Manhattan, maybe I could apply those skills in other ways, like backing up a U-Haul. But, like, I couldn't get from here to there. That's why I picked it, was because it's something that I could never see myself getting to without the magical scenario. Okay. I love it. Oh, my God, that was great. All of the experiences I've had playing the crane game at the arcades is not enough experience to get this job.
40:01
Well, I mean, there's a lot of population density in Manhattan, and I don't feel like it would be ethically sound of me to accept a job like this with my current level of training. So you would actually be willing to have a master in living in Manhattan? Is that what you're saying instead? Yeah, it would just be really cool to live in Manhattan and get paid a lot of money. I'd be willing to work 40 hours a week at a job that doesn't particularly get people to do that. I feel like that would be cool to do for a while. Because that's really different from my current experience, which is not leaving Tennessee. You'd have to work at ADL to pay for parking.
40:40
Gross. They have subways. They call it the underground there. I don't know. That's London. I mean, they're basically the same. They're really far from Tennessee. This is my point of saying I need to get the manned to freight operators and try to get them cultured like an adult.
41:01
You have that same operator thing? Oh, go ahead. I'm kidding. No. I was going to say, I can't. Can you do me a favor? Can you actually Google how close England is to you and then also how close Manhattan is to you? Because I actually want to see how close it is. Let me give you my guess. My guess, without Googling it, is that London is 4,106 miles from me, and my guess for New York would be 1,112 miles.
41:32
And if somebody else wants to punch that into Google and tell me how close I am. 8.85 to New York. Well, let's do New York. I want to put New York City. I'm sure it's the same thing.
41:46
Yeah, 8.85. Okay, so I was not close. London, I'm pretty sure London is not 4,000. Oh, no, you were a lot closer with London, 4,183. Okay. Can you take the subway to London? Not to Nashville. No, you can't take any underground train in Nashville. We have a lot of problems. They really don't like the Underground Railroad here. It was a whole thing a while back.
42:14
Yeah. Good clarification. One of my pinball buddies recently retired at 55. He was a crane operator in, like, Massachusetts, Boston area, like on those high rises and stuff for 30 years in the union. So he must have made pretty good money because he just retired at 55.
42:35
And he's got a nice pinball collection. My dad was an accountant for the post office, and he retired at 58. Oh, wow.
42:45
That's awesome. Yeah. Good if you can retire that young. Yeah. We can't have the nurse to train operators, Seth. And I was thinking about, like, with all the laparoscopic surgery that doctors are doing, are we turning doctors into training operators for a body?
43:03
You know, that's actually a weird thing. I don't know that a master laparoscopic surgeon would make more than a master crane operator.
43:12
I mean, you've got to talk to this girl. Where do you play with her money? umper nugget wants to be a master litigator a master litigator okay in which field yeah which which field of law i hear bird laws pretty competitive.
43:37
Is that what Heavy Birdman's in? Oh, boy. You would think that, but he actually takes all sorts of cases.
43:50
Oh, you got that machine where you want it, George? Yep, yep. I got it where I want it. Now I'm good. Making slight adjustments.
43:59
I want to adjust the camera next. I swear there's a tilt-bob in this. There is. There we go. Cherry Bob. I'm going to... We're good.
44:28
It's so connected. Yeah, I don't... It definitely... Well, I think I'm on a double, right? I'm going to send you a little smart Wi-Fi board so we can... I absolutely... No, no, no. You go ahead, Sammy. It's your stream. Oh, my God. No, no, no. I'm focusing. I'm playing pinball. So it's totally good. It's your stream. I was going to say, I think I'm comfortable with an answer to the actual question. So I struggle with, like, visual stuff. Like, I don't mean, like, I struggle with being able to wear glasses. But, like, you know, like, I write about baseball. And I love baseball. I understand the game of baseball. But the one thing that I don't understand is, like, pitches and the different types of pitches. Because I legitimately don't see a difference. So I want to be, like, somebody who can, like, actually tell the different types of pitches. oh yeah good job nice I really like there's a part of baseball that I really like the fact that there are so many different types of pitches and I feel like I can understand conceptually how they work but it's one of those like when I see it happen it blows my mind and I find that really really cool they're throwing like 98 miles an hour right like tiny tiny little thing so fast with many skill changes and i don't know i'm i don't know how much of that is like the neurodivergence part of me that i just like don't see the difference i have a lot of like visual spatial issues because of that but um yeah there's like a lot of my friends that actually or my colleagues that actually write about it like they can watch somebody throw a ball and be like, oh yeah, that's a curveball, or oh yeah, that's a whatever, and I'm like, no, I don't have, I can't, I can't do that visually.
46:37
I don't, no, I, well, I feel like I'm in the same boat. I have no way to tell whatsoever. Granted, I do not watch a lot of, I'm sorry?
46:54
You haven't gotten a refill tonight. Oh, um Drake Cam, Drake Cam, Drake Cam Yeah I read it, I'm not sure What they mean The million dollar kind of pitches And the kind of pitches that everybody else throws Is that Well, I know what, I've heard of a million-dollar baby, but never a million-dollar pitch.
47:29
I think he's like, we get to play on words. Yeah, I was like, I think a million-dollar baby is a boxing thing. Maybe a picture has an idea. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. A picture has an idea.
47:43
That was a pretty good one. You know where, like, Shark Tank came from? Yeah, yeah. Like, look, that's how, like, movies get, like, that's how movies start. Like, they pitch the script first. Good call.
47:54
I think that was my interpretation, anyway. All right. The peanut says the bounce isn't favorable today. It's really not. No.
48:04
All right, Jamie, what were you saying? No, no, no. You know, that sounds like it just needs to be that deep.
48:14
Well, you know, after an hour of the night, everything starts to take off more meaning, I guess. I don't know. Deep thoughts. Deep thoughts with Kindle-less. There was a decent bonus there. 5.55, that was an okay game. Definitely nowhere close to Escher's score of, what was it, 12 billion? He got 6 billion on one shot. Don't compare yourself to Escher. It's not fair.
48:45
Yeah, I was only kidding with that. Well, I wasn't. Yeah, look at that, 14.3. also what an awesome high score by the way there grand champion which was Gilbert Godfried JGJ or GJG I was going to say something earlier but I didn't want to be mean no no all good I was going to say so when does the pinball talent show up ah that you can say anytime You know, I do want to say... Being delivered with a tilt-bob. Yeah, right?
49:27
Oh my god, is this... Here, I'm showing it. There is a tilt-bob. This is very well... Like, this is not... It's not a bad tilt-bob position. There's too much ear protection on the tilt-bob. There was a tilt-bob when we ran around this thing and sent it your way. is there a killing of uh hairspray pictures for insurance purposes yes exactly insurance don be watching this but check that out right there tilt bob exists Is that like actually hanging or is that glued in place Does it move
50:04
Where does that white wire go? That's probably a really bad wiring job I did on the headphone thing. Because I originally intended that to be temporary, and then I was like, George, I'm too lazy to take this out. Do you want a free headphone panel? Oh, my God. No, no, no. Wait, wait. Oh, sorry. That is not related to that. That's mine. But this does have the Escher patented ear thingy in here.
50:33
I was literally going to ask you about that because that seems really cheaty. But, well, no, no, no. It's not supposed to stop it from moving initially. So notice we're not doing anything right now, and that's still swinging. That's quite a pinball. You've changed an element of pinball by making it not swing back and forth. You have no real risk after, you know, usually if you do a move like too soon after your initial move, you have the problem of it moving back and forth so much that you could really take a chance of tilting. But by eliminating that risk, you're changing how difficult it is to play, I think.
51:18
I don't disagree. but look at it. It is still moving around quite a bit right now. It could take like a minute. My goodness, a pendulum that moves for an extended period of time. Let's move. We're good.
51:36
You are on hard fours, so that doesn't help. No, I heard Monu's bad sound. Howdy, Monu. Monu's bad sound clip is the best. And they do actually use that method in tournaments now.
51:53
Really? Yeah, I did see that as becoming more popular, but... Yeah. I just don't understand how it's, like, such a big thing. I'm like, well, that doesn't seem right.
52:01
It doesn't even have the purity of the game. Can we go back to the comparing the game? No. Because, like, yeah, I mean, I want to say, like, when you're playing at a certain level, You need to be okay with being compared to the best people in the world because they're your peers, even if you're not scoring with them. The fact that you're hanging out with Escher and you're training together and practicing, Escher is one of your peers, and it's okay to have peers that are way more talented than you. In fact, I mean, you've made good life choices.
52:37
There's a saying that I like a lot, if you're the smartest guy in the room, you're in the wrong room. I do like that. You're having yourself with talented people, and you're improving. And I think that's worth celebrating, not something where it's like, oh, don't even think about it. I don't know.
52:52
George, let me reiterate this. I was totally kidding. Because you seemed like you were stunned when I said it. And you didn't get the... No!
52:59
No, no, no, no. It's a joke. Because you're a way better player than most people I know, and better than me. No, no, no. I wasn't stunned.
53:09
I'm totally good with that. You're like, oh. Did I look hurt? Oh, my gosh. Like, don't compare yourself to effort. It just means, like, I didn't know. Joe's point was really good, and my point was just, like, like, yeah, it is great to have the peers, you know, to have your peers that are on that level to that, you know, everything that Joe just said. But it's, like, at the same time, recognize that, like, you know, you don't need to compare yourself to other people in terms of, like, you're having fun. That's the point. You're having fun. You're doing well. I mean, like, I don't feel the need to, like, I don't see why you should compare yourself to other people, I guess. And maybe to break down here, like, there's a difference between competing with other people and comparing. Like, I can be compared to people who are way more successful than me, and I'm fine with it because I know that we're not competing. We're both trying to be excellent in our field in different ways and regard, you know what I mean? Like, it's like, well, that person makes, like, way more money than you. It's like, that's fine. We're doing our own thing, and we're both getting along well, and that's cool, you know? Is that why you want to operate a crane?
54:16
I can't hack it in music, Tracy. You see that? I think I'd like to have a mastery of segways. Okay. Oh, was that a joke? Is that what has in white and nerdy, or you just want to be better at communicating between topics because you want me to be done talking?
54:37
Honestly, I thought that that joke would go over better. I thought it was a pretty good joke. I'm just being playfully indignant. I wasn't actually upset. I thought you were doing a really good job of cutting that down.
54:54
I'm like a clown or funny like a... Funny. Sorry. My name is George. Man up. I play at Free Gold Watch. There are five-year-olds that are top 100 IFPA there. And then he says Manu up. Yeah, Manu up.
55:11
Manu up needs to be like a term. Yes. That we can use our channel points for, because I have way too many channel points on MPC3K.
55:23
Is it that you already have MPC3K swag? Because I think he has swag available, right? I do. I've got the mask, yeah. I thought he was swagging. I'm going to have to use swag, because I feel like... I think more real. Those might be two different things. On March, yeah. I've got the hoodie.
55:41
Swag is the weed. Wait, is there a difference between swag and swag? Not that I'm aware of, but... Yeah, swag without the CH is like stuff you get at a conference where they're like, hey, Facebook is going to be on the meta now, so they have like koozies that say meta on them.
56:03
Swag is like weed, I believe, right? place. Sure. Yeah, it is. Yes. Just about how much swagger you have. And pieces and sticks, stems and seeds. Yes, you get them. Got it. Judge, next question. Next question. Done. All right. What is the thing you find yourself running away from most in your dreams? and I want to start off this one because I have a great one my nightmares I feel like are my worst nightmares are usually zombies chasing me but it's really weird my absolute worst dreams these are the most common ones Darth Vader is a zombie chasing me for some reason so that's my answer there Can I ask, have you ever had sleep paralysis? Uh, I have not. Because we talked about it recently. Yes. I'm just wondering. I am fairly certain I have never had sleep paralysis. Okay. Has anyone else? Oh, God. Sleep paralysis sucks. When you're just halfway in a dream and you feel like you want to wake up and sleep. No.
57:34
You're trying to fight to wake up, and you see that you're laying in bed, and you're just trying to get out of the dream, but you're just kind of in this state where you're struggling to get out of it?
57:45
Sleep paralysis is when you're struggling to breathe, and you can't wake yourself up. You know that you're asleep, and you're just going to sit there for a little while. And maybe you wake up or maybe die. It's terrible. I don't have the problem with the breathing so much, but I have a problem where I'm half asleep and I can't get out of it.
58:10
Can't get out of the dream. I don't have dreams of, like, running away from scary things so much as, like, when I'm stressed out, I have stress dreams, which, like, incorporates all of the very mundane things that stress me out in my daily life. And the second I fall asleep, it's like, hey, remember all those things that you hate when you're awake? Here they all are, and they're, like, super, like, you know, condensed.
58:38
Yeah, so, like, for me, it's not, like, something I run away from, but it's, like, the things I have to do next, I'll have dreams that I'm working on stuff, and I'll realize at some point, like, something will be wrong, and I'm like, oh, no, I'm dreaming. And then I'll be like, wait, That means the last two hours of time I spent going through this 12 hours of footage trying to find new stuff wasn't actually logged anywhere. I'm going to have to, when I wake up, I'm going to have to go through the same footage that I'm dreaming about now. Yeah. And actually mark which clips are viable and which ones are not. And, like, it's annoying. That's what I mean, though. It's, like, that same type of, like, you're going through the same mundane, not mundane, but, like, the same things you would be doing. No, not mundane. You wouldn't. Okay, but the same things you'd be doing in real life, it's like, okay, I spent like nine hours today working on this whatever thing that I was working on, and I finally get home, it's like, I need a break, I need a rest, I'm going to take a nap, and the second I fall asleep, you start dreaming of exactly what you were working on when you were awake, and it's like, that's like, that's anxiety, though, as far as I know.
59:46
Okay. I had this recurring dream when I was a kid where I'd just be in the middle of the day or playing outside with friends or just doing anything. And this creepy, dark train would just come flying in from nowhere, not even on tracks. And it would just come right by, and this mechanical arm would come up and just drag me. And then I would just, like, wake up. And go off and hit the chair. Wow. Was it a holodeck malfunction, or was that really a dream? Definitely a lot. You're not going to play Happen on the holodeck?
60:19
Really? Like, next gen? I don't think I've watched whatever you're talking about. Star Trek. It's Star Trek.
60:30
Yeah, I don't know if I've watched that. Have you ever played the holodeck simulation on the Star Trek next gen pinball?
60:38
Nope. I don't think so. Suddenly, I feel like I'm... This is when I was a kid. This was before that pinball was around.
60:51
That sounds, like, really, really creepy. Yeah, it seems to scare me. I don't know. Well, yeah, like a train coming at you off the track. But I like trains in general, which is weird. Well, that's probably why your brain thought of it, though. I also really like Star Wars.
61:07
Yeah, so your brain's taking the familiar. and expressing its fears and discontent through what is familiar with you.
61:16
I never had dreams that I was running from stuff. I more had dreams that I was falling. And those terrified the crap out of me. Yeah. It didn't more like push me down the wall.
61:28
I had a dream that I fell off a cliff. I had a dream that I fell off a waterfall an inch in the water, but then I was playing with a roommate and I could breathe another.
61:41
I mean, that was not too bad. I did live next to train tracks when I was younger, too, so maybe every night when the trains were going by, like, 3 in the morning, I was just in a dream state and it would trigger that dream. It could be.
61:54
I used to have dreams like that, so when I was younger, like, when I would, like, probably TMI, like, when my parents would fight in my dream, I would start to have dreams about my parents fighting. so yeah you know I think that stuff does influence you sure I I think I'm the only one only one who has running away dreams I think everyone else has started it by saying I don't have dreams where I'm running away which I feel like says something about the kind of dreams I have no I think it just means that we all have different things that like because like yeah Janelle was the only one that said uh falling dreams so I think we all have different things that like stress this out and like trigger our anxieties and stuff like that i've been falling i've definitely had running i've had a lot of stress dreams and sleep paralysis several times in it my brain's got it all the different types of dreams there you go and i uh i'm sorry i guess don't know if this is talking about amanda in chat i tried to call Manu's yelling at me because I switched to my cell phone audio source again so I could like wrap up the kitchen for the night and go to bed. And apparently it sent him a call tag.
63:14
Maybe Manu should join the call and then it wouldn't be a problem. Oh man, speaking about that, I... No, we've got 13 minutes left. Is 13 minutes enough time for one last beer?
63:30
Yes. Yes? Chug, chug, chug, chug. I don't know. Okay. One thing I can say is she doesn't have nightmares, like, at all. I feel like it's weird. Is that weird? I don't think you feel it's weird. Good mental health, maybe. Yeah. That's admirable. I don't know. You know how mentally healthy that is. I don't ever have chase nightmares, but I have can't reach nightmares. Where I'm trying to make it through mud or run and my legs just don't work.
64:13
Not because I'm being chased, but because I'm trying to reach something. Like the never ending story?
64:20
Yeah, I guess so. Oh, trying to reach Artax? Yeah, I'm trying to get Artax. the hell out of the mud. I'll be traumatized out of our childhood.
64:32
It's weird. Even in my 40s, I sometimes have these random dreams about being late for class or something in school. It's like, what? That still happens to me, too. That must be universal. Yeah.
64:51
Yeah, I still have nightmares about a school play that I couldn't remember the line, too. Oh, sorry.
64:59
Oh, yeah, you're super soft. I didn't even realize you're coughing. I thought you turned up pretty hot because you've been soft all night, but... Yeah. Sorry, I switched to the other headphones. My bad. I think you can adjust your output on Discord so that you can be a little louder.
65:18
That's, like, very minimal. Wait, should I adjust his output? No, because... Well, maybe, but that would only affect it on the stream. You just mentioned the call.
65:30
Yeah, you know what? I was, like, five minutes away to bed anyway, so rather than try to figure this out when I'm this tired, I think I'm just going to call it a night. But, yeah, this was really fun. Have a good evening, everybody. Thank you again, George, for having me. Joe, thank you so much for hanging out. Sweet dreams.
65:48
Have a good night. Is Candy Crush good? I don't think I've played it. All right, night, everybody. Night, Joe. See you, Joe.
65:58
I just wanted to be able to hear him. We have a nice time. What is it, like a trickle-layer inception dream?
66:08
I was waking up. I had a dream that I was talking to a guy in the shipping department at work about a shipment I was supposed to receive or something, and then I woke up and like somebody went into the room and then I woke up and I was like holy crap that's the craziest thing and so like I went into work and I went to find him to tell him about this crazy dream that I was having about talking to him about a shipment and somebody had run into the room and then I woke up again and then I was like okay that's weird I wonder if I'm going to I was having a dream about the crazy weird dream I was having about him, and then I woke up again. Oh, my God. Did you have a forced wake-up? I've been having a really stressful time at work lately. Did you have a forced wake-up and realize you were in the break room at work? Was you having a thing? I don't know.
67:06
I was, oh, my gosh, I just had like an inception level experience. I mean, the level, I have, like, increased the level that my director reports to over 100 people now. So, maybe.
67:23
Is that a little stressful? Yeah. That sounds like stress. A little bit. Yeah, definitely. It's a bit.
67:33
Because I've definitely had dreams like that, where it's, like, dream within a dream within a dream. And then you eventually wake up, and, like, you think that, like, something that happened in the dream was, like, Oh, that's awesome. Oh, wait, no. No, that wasn't real. Oh, my God. Tracy. It was a movie with sleep paralysis, and it was pretty terrifying. I don't care.
67:49
Oh, my God. I can't believe you. That's somebody's cosplay. What? What just happened? What is that? Oh, my God. Oh, no. I can't see it. See, I need to see.
68:03
You're going to have to click the link yourself in chat, in stream. That was... Oh, I see. That was horrific. Oh my god. That's amazing. Oh my god.
68:14
Yeah. If you're following along and did not see that. Oh my god. I love Godfather cosplay. How is Spire hefty? They should have just a thing of mud all the way around his neck. Like shake mud. Yeah.
68:39
I also saw someone do that with, like, because I create their pants, so they have, like, a little figurine and a cute little horse in.
68:51
You know? I think you have to immortalize that moment every morning when you wake up. Aw, our text is dead. Awesome.
69:02
Hi, Spyro the Husky. You don't want your pants to die? Like, what are them? the way you jumped back I thought somebody walked into your place it devastating like that destroyed me as a kid Never Ending Story is one of those films I've probably seen 30 times and I was way too young the first time I saw it I think I was too which is why I probably never watched it again since yeah see the only part that scared me it was also the part with the giant figures that he has to cross and he like shoot lasers oh my god the finkes yeah oh and the werewolf in the cave or the wolf in the cave spoiler alert on a movie that's as old as all of us oh wait was that a never ending story too with Jonathan Brandon no no never ending story one is about, um, so they're fighting the nothing, but at the same time he's being chased by the wolf. The wolf is called the Merg or Marg or something like that. It has a really weird name. Okay. I don't know.
70:23
Atreyu? Artax? Are you kidding me? Atreyu is the name of, like, a That's in Dune. Like, Remark? Yeah, the Atreyu.
70:35
Demore? Well, then at the end he yells out the name of the princess, which is... Camorra. Okay. Mr. Buzzo, thank you. Here's a spoiler alert. Yeah, you need to speak her name and you never know her...
70:47
Here's a spoiler alert. The Childlike Empress? The one... Oh, go ahead. Yeah, exactly. The movie I was way too young for when I saw it was Event Horizon. I don't remember. Oh! Yeah. I was a child. I love that movie. I was a child when I watched that movie. I can see that. Wait, are we talking about the same movie? No, Event Horizon is about a ship that folds space-time. And it folds space-time. It's a one-star. It's a Boston Hawkins movie, right? There is some of that. No, that's... Sam Neill. Sam Neill, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And it's a lot of blood, is what I recall from that. But that was the movie that I saw way too young, and it's... But Lauren's good. Yep, Lauren Fishbein. How did you experience, Amy, at four, watching The Shining?
71:41
Not a movie for four. Correct. I was five when I saw Thriller. And I was terrified, but I was also excited. Wait a second. Don't you dance? Is it one of your primary jobs to dance?
71:58
She wasn't dancing at three years old. I'm just saying like Oh not with that attitude That's true It is a kid's campaign You're saying Like if you've ever seen Thriller It's freaking terrifying I mean yes At that age Absolutely I get it I mean my first time At a young age It's pretty terrifying Yeah That is very fresh Are you a little It feels pretty scary It's like zombies in worlds.
72:35
With giant yellow eyes. And Vincent Price. Yeah. I get... I... You know what? I did the Thriller Dance this year, and I dressed as Freddie Mercury from his I Want to Break Free video.
72:52
Make sense? Yeah. So, I dressed as a... My kid was so proud. He was like, Mom, you're dressed as a man dressed as a woman. I am.
73:04
Meta. Super meta. Meta squared. See, when I was young, Ghostbusters 2 scared the crap out of me. Like, the music came out of the bathtub. And also, the wall scared me around as a kid. Like, the kids being turned into, like, ground meat and stuff. Like, that terrified me. Yeah. I don't know that that's really... I'm starting to really not like all of these when I was a kid, movies when I was not a kid anymore stories.
73:47
I'm feeling very old. When I was nine, I was visiting relatives in Canada, and my cousins were babysitting me, and they decided they wanted to go to the drive-in to see Halloween 2.
74:01
And I had to sit through Halloween 2 in a dark drive-in, and I knew zero French, so it was quite confusing, but also scary.
74:12
Sorry, why do you need to know French for Halloween 2? I was in Canada. Oh, okay. The whole movie was in French. Oh, sorry. Were you in Quebec? Yes. Okay.
74:26
Check it out. Have you seen the American version of it? Like, does the French version seem way scarier? Uh, I did see it eventually, yeah. But what I would mind is that it was a bit more scary.
74:41
I'm gonna put in the French on that one. I have not seen it again in French, to be fair. I think I was probably hiding my face a lot actually I really like foreign movies Was there at least subtitles while you were watching it No. Nothing, okay. It's a drive-in theater.
75:09
Oh, somehow I did not complete Sanctuary. Mr. Rage Quit ate because I was 10 and saw Nightmare on Elm Street. not a great combination of age and movie.
75:25
Nope. That's it. I remember being roughly that age. Like, a little younger than that, probably. And this was in the 90s, I think. And it was the Goosebumps episode about these ghost pirates that would come out of the water because somebody stole their treasure. And I lived, like, right by Lake Tahoe at that time. And I don't think I slept for, like, three days after that. Is that Pirates of the Caribbean? Not Pirates of the Caribbean, no. It was Goosebumps.
75:59
Which is a very good movie. It came out in 1984, by the way. Really? Yeah. How about that? Yeah, that's... I have a question.
76:12
Okay. What is everybody's go-to appetizer at a Chinese restaurant? Oh, gosh. Potstickers. Yes, yes! I mean, I agree. Is that like a dumpling?
76:27
No, it's not. Go ahead. It's a dumpling that is also lightly brown? Yeah, lightly fried, but not like in a deep fried kind of way. but it's not like in a liquid. It comes with a dipping sauce, but it's like a dumpling, yeah. It's not steamed. It's got the slightest bit of crunch if it's done well. Mm-hmm. If it's done well, yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. Mine is probably chicken teriyaki.
77:07
Wait, as an appetizer? Yeah. That's a l'entrée. Oh, okay, skewers. Okay, got it. Got it, okay. I don't know what you call them where you live. Something looks skewered.
77:24
I don't want to tell you. Chicken and teriyaki on a stick? Sorry. No, on a stick. It'd be like, what's the word? Kebabs or something like that. A kebab? No, that's like an Indian word or like Turkish word. Yeah, but it's a great concept. Any of the Chinese restaurants. Right. But here it's just called chicken teriyaki or beef teriyaki. Well, so here, like, when I say here, I'm in, like, an extremely remote rural part of Northern California. But, like, chicken teriyaki or teriyaki whatever is usually, like, a bowl of rice and some kind of meat teriyaki. So, teriyaki skewers. I should say teriyaki chicken. Would that be better?
78:07
Yeah, but that would be, for me, that would be a bowl in my mind. Oh, okay. Mm-hmm. Mr. Bruza or Mr. Bruza says teriyaki skewers are part of a hoo-hoo fire. Yep, yep, that's right. Skewers! Skewers is a good word. Kindalis throws out wonton soup as an appetizer. I've definitely had that as an appetizer. Not bad, actually, with good wontons. Nobody mentioned crab rangoons. I think that's probably a close second for me now. there's a sports internet meme about crab rangoon and I'm not going to go there but I there's so much curiosity at this point it would take longer to explain it wouldn't even be funny to anybody that doesn't understand the reference I'm sorry I'm asking Lord Google crab rangoon baseball I have an idea I'm not going to. But I did Google the Mork, and apparently that's the same person who, of course, wore a cap in Transformers and is the voice of Starcourt. Did you know that? I just heard that. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah, that dude.
79:22
I did not know that it was the same guy who voiced all those different people. But I'm not looking at Sam Rooks. I have Rangoon.
79:34
Oh, my God. It's a random niche meme, and so, I'm sorry, it's made me laugh, but, like, trying to explain it is, like, it's not, it doesn't make sense. The side effect is every one of those images look unbelievably delicious at this point. Oh, you're just looking at Pat Rangoon. Yeah. Enjoy that. Yeah.
79:56
I haven't had good Chinese in a long time. We have not been able to find good Chinese in the area. We have a, like I said, we're very remote, rural part of Northern California. We have a Chinese restaurant here in town that is phenomenal. It's Sichuan Leaning, and it's really, really, really great. But the owner of that restaurant was my landlord for a long time, and he was an absolute slumlord and the absolute worst human being. But the restaurant is great. it's only placed in like within an hour that I can get decent Chinese food. And it's like, do I want to give this man money? No. But do I want good Chinese food? Yes. And it's been a constant struggle ever since. Huh. Yeah, that seems like a hard struggle to me. Like if it was really good food, I would really struggle. Well, we don't live there anymore. We bought a bike. But before that, like he was like, he was like dragging our name because like he wanted us to move out in the middle of a pandemic, but he couldn't evict us because there was a pandemic and we hadn't done anything wrong. And so he's just apparently been just dragging our names. And yeah, he's awful. Absolutely the worst. But the food is so good. It's a struggle.
81:13
Try to tell pinball. Thank you so much for that raid and bringing three beautiful people over here. My hat's off to you. Welcome. If you're just joining us, we are playing Guardians through the galaxy horribly. We have a number of people in chat with us. We have Dance Panda, Surreal, iSkiDo, Sammy Higgins, and Tracy from Outer Spacing.
81:35
So if you have questions... I'm waving at the computer like I can see you. Yeah, yeah. Everyone's waving right now. Try to tilt. How was your stream? And what did you stream this evening? And did you actually tilt? Did you try to tilt? Yeah. Well, I mean, I can guarantee that they at least tried. I mean, that's definitely their name, but did you succeed? That's the true question here. Bumper Nugget is talking about a crab rangoon pizza. I was just reading that same thing. Crab rangoon pizza.
82:14
Sounds weird, but amazing. Well, I am going to head out, so I'm going to say my goodbyes. Tracy, have a great night. Good evening.
82:29
No, you. Not you. Good evening. Thank you so much for hanging out. Thank you. Only have two dreams, Susie.
82:40
She's already gone. Is it too late or too soon to ask a spoilery question about Endgame? About... No!
82:55
Wait a second. I mean, I feel like it's been a couple of years, right? It has... It's been a few years, right?
83:04
So Gamora, did she come back when they undid the snap? She didn't, right? No, she did not. Ooh, okay.
83:14
That is... Yeah, that bothered me, but I'm not going to get into that. Yeah, it was just no more of... And I'll see myself out. When he starts it.
83:34
A spoiler alert. If you haven't seen the movie in the last few years, I mean, I did ask before I asked the question. Yeah, fair, fair, fair.
83:47
I think it was super fair. It's been out for a while. What about that Batman? I watched that just before I started the stream. Let me tell you about that. I have not seen it. I'm still struggling with the concept of Robert Pattinson as Batman because the only thing I've really ever seen him in is Twilight and nobody was good in Twilight. Did you see him in the Harry Potter? That's true. But he wasn't good in Harry Potter either. I mean, he was young and not good. I believe Batman sparkles. Batman what? Sparkles. Sparkles? Jesus. For real?
84:27
When you said Batman sparkles, I heard that to the tune of Lightning Crashes. By R.E.M. Batman sparkles. and another man who died.
84:45
Having said that out loud, I feel like this is a product that needs to exist. The Batman's just... Bumper Nugget, get on it.
84:54
One of the parody songs. Wait a second. What was the song that Bumper Nugget was trying to make happen about rustling leaves? Rustling leaves.
85:08
No, no, no, but I don't remember. It was... Pumper Nugget, what's the... Come on, give us the lyrics. What are the lyrics to the...
85:20
We only rake sleeves. I want to rake sleeves. There we go. I want to rake sleeves. That's what she did.
85:30
I want to rake sleeves. Oh, she saw that already? Damn. Oh, wow. Somebody else was talking about that movie today, too. I saw the previews the other day, and I saw she on an interview with Kimmy Kimmel there, and they were talking about the movie and him coming back into acting, and it looks really good from the previews, but I didn't even know it was out yet.
86:01
Sorry, which movie? Go ahead. Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. I feel like Kristen Stewart got a really bad rap after Twilight because the material was not good, and so she came across, like, very one-dimensional. And she's actually a really good actress, and so I feel like I should probably extend the same grace to Robert Pattinson because I feel like he had the same problem.
86:27
The lighthouse was pretty amazing, so... Yeah. It's almost three hours, too, with Batman. Really? There's a lot of Batman.
86:37
It's almost too much Batman, in my opinion. It was in 56 minutes. But it's a dark Batman with, like, tones of saw and also... How is that different than the Dark Knight, though? There was no saw tones to the Dark Knight. Wasn't there the fairy?
87:00
Sorry, the what? The fairy in the Dark Knight. How is that not like saw? Like, the thing that the Joker put them up against on the ferry, how is that not similar to Saw?
87:14
Like, this is in 5. I don't remember the ferry that you speak of in Dark Knight. There's a ferry full of, like, citizens, and there's a ferry full of prisoners, and they say, and he tells, the Joker tells each ferry that they have to either choose to blow up the other ferry, or the other ferries wouldn't choose to blow them up. Oh, right. The normal people are like, or the non-prisoners are like, well, we've got to blow them up, because obviously we're going to blow us up. And then the prisoners are like, well, we're not going to do that. And so, but yeah, I'm just saying, like, I got all of those vibes from The Dark Knight. I don't feel like I need those again, you know what I mean? You're absolutely right. It is, and granted, The Dark Knight is like maybe one of the best superhero movies of all time. So it's kind of hard to compete with that one. still that Batman was really enjoyable.
88:08
Yes, I struggle, and maybe this is just me getting older, and I'm younger than you, obviously, but, like, I struggle with seeing these franchises be redone. Oh, my God, you're obviously younger than me? No, I've talked about this before. I don't mean that in, like, an awkward way. That's crazy. Crazy. I'm just saying, like, I struggle with seeing these franchises be redone and recycled every few years. Like, we've done this already. Why do we... We're just stuck with something new. Because people watch them and they make a lot of money.
88:39
Yeah. And that's the thing about Jess. I don't know, guys. I have to buy this next time I'm home. So, we have got to work tomorrow. So, have a good night, guys. Sleep well. Have a good night. Have a great night. Good to work with you. You too. Yeah, no. I will try. Keep it simple. Yeah. Just. I'm trying to provide the power to my future.
89:16
Let's go. Yeah. Anyway. Yes, Panda. Thank you so much for hanging out. Bye-bye. Bye. All right. This is the last game, by the way. Speaking of. I'm clear for you. You said that about 30 minutes ago. No, this is the real last game. head.
89:35
Slow flood just followed. Hey, slow flood. Thank you so much. My hat's off to you. Thank you for joining us.
89:49
Alright, what do we... You say it, and then watch you do it like by second creative. On the screen. Uh... You're addressing to the live as well.
90:03
Oh, no. Because of George's issues earlier, he was trying to create a virtual camera for us to watch in December. Yep, trying to stream from the future. And the computer just did not like it, and then the computer could not get out of it.
90:19
Time always wins. Yeah, I really do think that that was the issue. It seems like it, because once you restarted, like, after that was brought up, That seems to solve all the problems, which is good.
90:34
Yep. What do I need to hit? Left ramp? Oh, no. We can go through, you know, the flow chart on the tech support list, you know. Is it plugged in? Did you turn the power on? Once we get to that section, it'll work out. There we go.
91:00
Darn it. There we go. Okay, I'm back. Sorry. Welcome back. Thank you. All right, two shots left on this one.
91:13
I believe in you. You can do it. I'm sorry? He said you can do it, and I said I believe in you. Oh, my God. No, no, don't do that. Oh, no. Okay. I don't know how to not be positive. Oh, my God. It was true.
91:30
Uh, ta-da. There we go. That was perfect. I know. I just caught up on the stream. Yeah, we can do this about five or six seconds later. I'm trying to be positive. No, so positive. Thank you guys so much. Also, so tonight, with us right now is iSkiDo, Sammy Higgins, and Surreal underscore seven. I need to do some shout-outs here. Exclamation point. Esso Surreal underscore seven.
92:08
Okay, you got it. Esso Sammy Higgins. Esso Todd. We're just doubling up. No, that's fine. Yep. I think I did that right. Yes, I did. Boom.
92:25
Did you just shout me out? Yeah. Nicely done If you're hanging out tonight Please give each one of these Wonderful people a follow Click the name, click the follow button You will not be disappointed Awesome content creators here on Twitch And wonderful Chat Chatanists Chat something I can't think of the appropriate word But people who can talk And make talk enjoyable conversationalist there we go that's the appropriate word equestrians I think is the word equestrians yes we all ride horses linguists yeah all of those things so by the way Ice Ski Do thank you so much for the bits also you can see all the lights in here changed to green that's one of the cool new things I did tonight that made it super fun chatpanions there we go thank you for being with me on that I was going to make something happen. I was going to get there. And it just, I knew the ending I wanted to get to. I knew the location I wanted to get to, but not the ending on how to get there. Chat Panions is exactly what I think we needed. So thank you each for joining us. We also had Dance Panda, Tracy from Outer Spacey, and Joe Hills on earlier as well. So make sure to follow each of them. If I can get Dance Panda to start doing a dance class on Twitch at some point in the future, I'm going to make that happen. I will help you with that. I will help you with that endeavor. Yes. So I have all the camera equipment. It should be really easy to get her going and do, obviously, schedule. Yeah, anyway. So I've got to make some effort to try and get Dance Panda going. She's been doing classes twice a week locally and sometimes picking up like a third or a fourth in some weeks.
94:23
So I think that she could do pretty well. And that, but, yeah, it's just getting, it's always that first jump when you stream, right? Like, actually, all three of you are streamers. We just shouted everybody out. Like, there was that weird time period in streaming where, like, you thought about streaming and maybe not. And you're like, well, I got to have the right equipment maybe. Or there's, it seems like everyone always has this, like, hang up to stop themselves from streaming. And it's always, from my perspective. Has she not streamed at all? Never. Has never streamed. Okay. But even if it's not... I feel like I'm still in that era. But the thing is, she's got a passion for this. It's something that she's already separately passionate about. I think that it would translate super easily. Oh, yeah. If she's comfortable with it. If she's not comfortable with it, that's totally understandable. And even if it's not Dance Panda in general, if you're interested in streaming, I feel... so I've talked to so many different people about streaming in general, and I feel like there's this weird, and I'm not sure if you guys ever experienced it, but this like rather than streaming, you're going to try and get better equipment or you're going to try and dial it in because you want a certain quality level or something like that. And everyone I've ever spoke to, my advice is always the same. Just do it with whatever cameras you have. with like people like myself that are like neurodivergent you kind of hyper fixate on those things like the quality of the equipment that i have and all of the like different things that are not actually doing the thing that you want to do so i think that like once you actually start doing it yeah that's the big barrier yeah that's the that that it's it it is just getting out there and doing your first live episode or even if not live like i i streamed to i just recorded locally and posted things to youtube but i spoke to the camera for like three to six months beforehand just doing it like actually doing it is is is such a huge major step forward and then doing it live is is yet another one and it doesn't have to be uh the best of the best of the best Just get out there and have fun with it. Tim. I think afterwards, remembering that everybody, nobody's going to remember the bad things that happened, and everybody's going to remember the fun. Yes, exactly. That's why you do it. Yeah.
96:55
And Mr. Buzzo, will I be interesting? Is my gear good enough? Do I have on clean underwear? Exactly. Game Club Central, welcome to the stream. Those things are optional.
97:06
You don't have to have clean. No one knows it. No, I'm not saying that. To urge study cells people just, oh, the Just Do It, that's the Nike thing.
97:22
Let's try not to get, like, shut down from major corporations. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Let's not do that. Sorry. So taking back the Just Do It, you should go out there and give it a go. There we go.
97:36
Perfect. You guys, have a great night. Thank you again so much for hanging out. And we'll be back on tomorrow. We have Escher in the house tomorrow. We got Godzilla back in the house. So tomorrow is going to be .93 code with Escher. Hopefully we'll get to see all of the cool new things on Godzilla. See you guys tomorrow. Thanks. Good night. Good night, everybody. Good night, George.
