Um, I'm I'm good, but I may have lied about it to get out of work I Only lost power for 12 hours and I didn't have water for over a week. I only got water back on Thursday And then I got sick and I thought it was COVID, but it wasn't that's good. That's not good. It was Was it possibly a lack of water for a week? See But yeah, I had So my only source of water was to go to the one working unit my apartment complex has that they were kind enough to let us Like refill water there, but the largest container I have is just like a pitcher and so that would be like My limit I could bring back and forth Wow So I definitely woke up some mornings thinking I was like dehydrated and then I did eventually get sick So I was like am I dehydrated in my sick? So I think you're stressed. Yeah Well, we can demean system leads to yeah, also when I went to go get tested for COVID the doctor asked me I told him I was a TB and that's where I thought I got it And he's like, oh, did you test the softness of the avocados and I was like really confused why what he meant I was like, is this a new test like are you gonna like squeeze my arm to see if I'm like soft like an avocado? No, I think he was just making a joke Okay, I was a if a doctor or possibly if I like like don't yeah, if I like yeah If I touched it and then I like rubbed my hands all over my face I guess I I mean that's a thing that people do that's already gross. It's just become closer. Yeah, but I told him I did not okay, but I felt really dumb. I was like What do you mean? Can you imagine like all the things that are weird now So I just like you said like, you know checking the ripeness of your avocado or like blowing the candles out on a birthday cake Yeah, I wonder if that's gone. I wonder if it's just gone It should be I just wanna I want people to start using canned air to like blow out candles I feel like we could just make it more fun like make like get like a little like gun that shoots compressed air Like that sounds fun. You can make it like a thing Like the um, there was a I saw if you're a Catholic I saw a lot a lot of Catholic memes of Social distance baptisms with like the priests loading up the water I thought you were gonna say he loaded up with like hand sanny Oh, I'm just like blasting people in the eye Yeah, that's real holy water is It's just hand sanitizer. Yeah I just want to go back a second and Aaron Did it did it I'm so happy that this is happening. Yeah, I mean to be fair. I would be pretty ecstatic if I could get that photo But that just seems awesome Did it did it feel as uncomfortable as it sounds To be in a closed room with us another human that you've never met before and have them ask you Did you squeeze the avocado? Atrocious I was so confused and I just already get like really nervous whenever I go to the doctors to just cuz I'm like a Pretty private person. Well, you're you're a normal person is what I would say. Yeah. Thank you Better But yeah, and then like I didn't have my mask on and I wasn't sure if he would like want me to put it back on while Telling him like what's been up? Mm-hmm. He didn't say anything. So it's like, all right. Yeah, you know best I We we're not gonna get into it, but We're not gonna get into it anyways We have on the edge of my seat prepared Graphic, I'm just saying we do we do truck nuclear Let's let's just say Texas had some news today a couple hours ago and RT's made a statement that we are gonna continue to be safe and work from home and wear masks And I think you all should too. That's all I will say happy Working from home of working. Is it really almost on the 13th. It will be for most of us. Mm-hmm. Yeah I yeah, I was actually out on on break Wait, did I tell you guys my Converted to work from home Converted when I was a baby yeah, yeah, but I Came over and squirted you with a water gun with a water gun. Yes, and then I became a Catholic Convert I went to California like actually it was a few days a year ago from now Went to California where the outbreak was first reported and So I came back and they at that time they had the whole like oh, we're we're probably gonna ask people to quarantine But it's voluntary quarantine. So if I think it's bad then you should stay home for two weeks and we're like, okay so I Didn't or sorry. I did I was kind of directed. Hey, you should go home and I go fine. Okay. I'll go home And that was like around the time when I was doing a move too. So that was very stressful And then it's just to be super clear to you. I don't mean to I'm sorry, but I just like this is also before we knew Anything really yes, and like didn't actually know Obviously didn't know how serious I was gonna get but also like didn't know what was real or not sounds like Okay, I'm not sick, but I sure I'll go home. I guess, you know, um, sorry I just want to like I want to give context to that Because then it was definitely like not a thought, right? Yeah. Yeah. It was just like wow That seems kind of like overkill, but okay, you know, yeah It's like oh hmm dot dot dot and then I come back to work after quarantine and then hour two of working No, sorry. Yeah hour two of working. I go into a meeting room because they say hey We're all gonna work from home pretty soon. So you need to leave and I go oh, okay. This is it. All right Happy anniversary. Yeah, did you take your stuff with you like the stuff on your desk? Oh, I left all my shit I left a lot of my stuff. I did stuff. So there. Yeah, I did got I got permission to go back He said are recently as in like a few months ago or like a month or two ago I got permission to go back and I like grabbed as much as I could yeah, I definitely Decided not to sanitize and just throw out my water bottle though because that was I I'm so worried that like my water Containers like moldy or some bullshit. I can't remember like what state I left my desk in because I have a The day we started working for home or like we're told to that was the day I had to leave for like a family medical emergency not coven related So I just like left also probably within hour two of the birthday and I just I didn't like prepare at all So yeah, I haven't I haven't been back since yeah, I was on vacation. So just like I was expecting to go back in the office I think I was on a two-week vacation. It was just not I was at home But I think it was like the end of the first week or something was when it happens like oh, okay Yeah, I've come back once he had some figures The way I got the news the way I got the news for for working from home was my girlfriend is is a nurse and so That was like very, you know generally known across like the department I worked in except the time I worked in live action But I remember coming into work and walking into the room and I'm not gonna say who cuz I love these people and rightfully so They were rightfully worried, but I walk in and they just go hey, man Your girlfriend's like a nurse right and I'm like, yeah And they're like so that means she like works in a hospital, right? And I'm like as nurses do yes And so like it was a series of these questions and it just ended up going okay cool Man that that was all we needed now appreciate it and then I just walk around go to my office because I had an office at a time was so dope and Which I don't know but then next, you know, yeah, I get the talking to it just like what you said He said where it was like a hey, so um Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna work from home pretty soon, but we you should kind of go now And I was like, okay word word word. All right, all right But I think is I took it okay because I just felt like it was like leaving school early You know like right almost like a a snow day, but a fun snow day, but then that's not a lasted 365 days They were like oh, it's only gonna be for like a week or two or like a month and then yeah a year later We're still here Yeah, I remember I remember like a month after you know working from home just going man Final Fantasy 7 the remix coming out. Oh my god Ten years ago at this point, but wait that came out in the pandemic. Yes. Yeah, like April 10th. I think yeah Cuz like I had to go to the whole like I had to do the whole weird thing where like it was the first time I ever shot from Like curbside because I didn't know what to do and but yeah, it was like April 10th I think in the chat someone someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm feeling pretty good about that April 10th It's definitely April April cuz ever ever worldwide was like March and then we got it late. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's right That's right. My sense of time is so yeah, I think to be fair. I think everybody else is is caring So yeah, remember when game the game awards happened and they were like Showing the nominees and stuff and I'm pretty sure there was a collective like Thought when they saw the nominees for game of the year and they're like wait Final Fantasy 7 remake was the same year as Animal Crossing and Hades Yeah, I'm like wait what it's it's it's a fall guys and the I guess resurgence of among us Oh god. Yeah. Wow Yeah, I just I just aged another 10 years right now. Basically. Hey Noel. That was a great segue though. Yeah new New episode and I definitely I know everything it's gonna happen cuz I finished it already Wait, what? Oh, you have the PS5. That's right. No I still have not finished the remake. That's out so far. I feel bad. I'm working on it. Maybe I'll start getting closer. Okay I'm gonna I'm a side tangent just super quick It have y'all ever found a solution For the thing that happens when you get a third of the way or halfway through an RPG especially a JRPG and then you take several months off and then you go to play again and It's it's like you're reading another language. It's like you've never played the game before it's like you've never played a game How do you get back into without starting over because I've done that with Nino Cooney to over. Yeah, I would start over I've played 50 hours in that game twice and never gotten further Because I had to start over I Don't want to start off the seven remake over. I mean, I'll say this like Way back in my in my early teens when I when I first played Final Fantasy Tactics I love that game so much that I would purposefully not beat it But I would get to a place where again, you know, cuz like we're we're all filmmakers here We're all content creators here You can kind of feel when you're getting to like certain little like, you know You have your midpoint you have you know, like you have your inciting incident all that jazz So every time as a kid I would I would feel like I'm getting close to the end I would just stop the game Like delete my my memory card because you had memory cards back in the day We just blocks in it. It was like what like eight megabytes. Anyways, moving on past technology. Hey, why don't we create an arbitrary system? Yeah with blocks blocks 64 blocks in this one and you're just like ooh, that's a lot, right? But then they're like nah 128 blocks anyway, and then they were sorry going back to it Then they're like we're gonna mix our memory card with our rumble pack. Do you remember that? That was a time I was like, yo, we're in the future right now, bro. The rumble packs are in the memory cards. I I love I love how weird Nintendo gets They went crazy Yeah, but yeah, I would just honestly I would start over Yeah, but also I don't play that many JRPGs And the last game that I like stopped playing and haven't returned to was Metal Gear Solid 5 Or I got exactly at the halfway point now I mean if it's a if it's a Kojima game you might as well get like men in black memory erased and start over Again, I really enjoyed that game But I got to a point where like the story felt like it concluded and I took a break and I just haven't gone back to it But with Final Fantasy I'm Kind of like what Noel said like I'm really enjoying it and I don't want it to end So I'm like doing all the side missions and I'm like taking my sweet ass time with it So like halfway through maybe I'll start over With Final Fantasy 7 remake the thing that I did wrong was I'm really bad about like just playing games like Consistently like for me with specifically with the remake. I would play it only on the weekends, but the downside to that is You know how like you you play a game long enough that you become so cold at the game that like you're you're like You're literally like rolling your dodge and you do everything like all masterfully and you feel like a samurai literate all that stuff I never got to that point. So every time I would play every weekend I would just be trashed the entire time and so I'm always just constantly getting my ass handed to me By these rats in the freaking slums and I'm like, you know, I'm not enjoying this So like I need to like designate an entire like paid-off vacation and then just be smoked through the game But yeah, I've definitely like walked back like how many games I'm playing at once just because if I spread myself too thin I'm gonna get I'm almost done with Bowser's a furry Once I'm done with that maybe I'll switch over It's a really good game by the way Yeah, I'm glad you said that because I'm in the same boat Okay, so we started it comes with whatever the other game is Super Mario world Yeah, yeah He started talking about Final Fantasy and then we don't continue or we didn't say what the news was there's a new episode I don't anything about it. Who does oh on ps5. Yeah, I'm really sad So what the what is it? It's like a free up date? To it's like a DLC Continuation but it's not like a full part. It's like the next chapter, right? Yeah, yeah, or it's maybe even like a bonus chapter Almost I feel like and it's only for people who have That's how I'm reading it Pretty much a PS5 exclusive right at the moment and it's you fee and there's a new character on there So, uh, I forget his name coup coups a cave But it's you fee in that guy and he came on screen and I was like, who that Oh, it's not out yet. Also, yeah, it's not out yet June 10 Yeah, there's a bunch of final fantasy stuff. They did like there's like a Remake for the iPhone a remake for the iPhone We saw that and I was just like, oh, they're doing they're pulling a final fantasy 15 for the Because they did the final fantasy 15 game, but for the IO for the iPhone or the butt for the I was cool Can I say this maybe this is a hot take on it But the but the the remake that they're doing for iOS and like mobile. That's actually what I wanted I Didn't I mean like I love like updated graphics and all that stuff But like I really just wanted I want the realm where like like clouds hair is still made of like Yeah, four spike polygons or whatever like that's what I really wanted his I wanted Barrett's fist to be this huge block that he just goes Yeah It sounds like in some ways, I don't put words in your mouth. What is what you want what they're doing with Pokemon Diamond and Pearl? Where that was they are It's the same game, but they've like updated the graphics a little bit, but it's still like stylized You know, I mean and people are still mad even though why gave them what they wanted why it's good I don't know again. I'm not a huge. Why are you mad? It's okay on Two things one wait list w and chat correct Said the name is son on cuz Cabe. Thank you very much and then to Everyone didn't like the cheapy figures in the Pokemon and the new Pokemon Diamond and Pearl And I was like, oh, I actually kind of liked it I was like one of the few people who said oh, I think that's the animation that the cheapy figures are cute And everyone's like this look like Roblox and I'm like I didn't realize that was bad. I Almost tweeted this but then I knew somebody's gonna say that I was just looking for attention. So I didn't do it When it when it comes to Pokemon news Specifically does anybody else See the announcement and then go to Twitter to see if they're allowed to be excited or not Cuz that's basically what I do is I go I almost every announcement I go. Oh, that's awesome. Oh It's not Guess I'll just shut up That's me when any movie or game gets a bad review and I like it I was like, oh, I was I not so loud or not supposed to like that. Yeah, I guess I suck. Okay, cool. Got it Can we just like thing? I don't know. I think we can like things Just don't share on the internet. Just so sure So real quick clear. Can you clarify for me? Like because because I missed that whole like direct What's the one where it's the open world like is the is the remake that you're talking about Oh, that's different from the open one. I didn't catch it. There were three things that they talked about during that One was poke one snap, too Because I was a mystic because it wasn't at like 7 a.m. Our time It was 8 or 9 a.m. Yeah, that's that's basically 7 a.m So they they announced they did more about put one that they didn't as brilliant diamond and shining pearl Which is a 3d remaster, I guess you call it yeah of diamond and pearl it looks like it is like the same game just with new graphics But not full-on like sword and shield graphics it's still very like isometric above And and more chibi which apparently people hate whatever And then what's the new game? It's like the something like Arceus. Arceus. Is it Arceus or Arceus? I never know how to say that Arquease we're definitely Pokemon fans over here Here's Pokemon legends. I'm a gen one. I'm a I'm a kanto and Johto kid like that's me That's I am a Pokemon Johto, which by the way is the greatest Can we see the theme song? Oh my god? Yeah, right no one watches right Yeah, it's gonna be too good. That's the problem. I I'll say it Mainly because I feel comfortable now that you said it in a while and I feel like you'll back me up I my personal take is that heart gold and soul silver are the best Pokemon games That ever been made because they're two regions in one and I think they even had some gen 3 Pokemon in it because it was the remake and it's just like good graphic like It's just updated. It's like I feel like those are like and they all all of Pokemon fall behind you Like every single one of them do that was very cute. Yep. I think that was I think it's the best It's what we it was like it was like one of the first times it was like that's what we wanted Nintendo You were listening to us. Yeah, I wanted them to be behind me the whole time. Yeah, man Not just Pikachu But ran We go ahead. He said I just wanted to say that the game I played the most is actually Ruby or Sapphire Man, I miss that generation the Pokemon it was the Sinnoh region, right? I think oh no Hoenn. Oh fuck. Yeah, I think it's Yeah, you're no, you're right. You're right. It's the one with the contests Because I played the contest Pokemon contest so much and I made so many poffins out of all these berries Because I really wanted To get what's that like pretty Damn, I forgot There's this Pokemon where if you fed them enough beauty poffins they they evolve into a Pokemon and it was the best anyway. No, no And yes, no Anyway, that's it. That's my Pokemon contribution. What what console was that or like handheld was that was that the GBA? Yeah, in my opinion the greatest like handheld console like ergonomically it was like poif it like the way that like Poific everything about like the Game Boy Advance to me was just just whore. It was whore It was like it was probably the one console that like or handheld that I really believe if you dropped it It wouldn't really break because I I thought initially when I was younger I initially thought that the the Game Boy Advance was inferior to its later counterpart the SP But have you dropped in SP before? But that's what I thought that's what I thought but then when I dropped it yo that thing see this is a good one Oh, I so I agree here the ergonomics. I really do ergonomics, but the screen on the SP Okay, okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So the screen. Yes, right the screen But again when you're when you're a kid or if you're like in your Twins or whatever you're gonna drop stuff. It's just a part of your nature You can't be trusted you can't be trusted to make any type of like adult political decisions or anything I wouldn't even drop I throw it on the ground Well, like look at my by the time I got the SP I'm even like putting my hand in the same air my like my hand's already hurting looking at it like the Little like trigger like side triggers man That was that was terrible The only thing a good about it was the screen and the back light but and then they came out with like a Nintendo Like skin for or I don't know skins the right word But anyway, I just thought the GBA was probably the best ergonomically and yeah You could literally launch that thing like Team Rocket and it would survive. It was so good. So good But that's my own. Those are my thoughts on GBA You can if you want to stay to you can like get like screen kits So yeah, that's right add to it to like make it the better one. I I'm officially I won't talk about too much But I'm officially into like emulators a ton now. Oh, yeah, that's right. There's like there are a ton of Really cool like consoles out now like I have a game boy that has like six buttons on it and two trigger buttons and like I don't know. I love it. I buy the games, too Hey, I have something to talk about Let me look at my Can I have one week where I can look at the notes? Oh, no. Oh, no I found it again.

All right What was next on our topics? One last thing I'd like to bring up about since we were talking about Pokemon with with the with the With the the the the open world Pokemon my fingers helped me figure this out The open world of Pokemon game. I thought about it like you know on paper It sounds like a good idea But like can you imagine if you were really walking that world and you just rounded a corner and Ran into a effing Scyther Terrifying that would be if you just walked around that corner and all you heard was That's terrifying. I just I don't want to live in that world is what I'm saying I know that's my last thought I had now slight slight idea. I have notes Something that might make that a little bit better That's when you pull out your gun Now you have a gun against a cypher I Anime bullshit where he deflects the bullets back at you Yeah, I Got robbed by a Scyther why what would you do if you got Rob or like you were walking backwards and then like a Doug Trio trips you and then it's a whole setup and then literally the Squirtle squad comes to run on bro That's so like I don't want to live in that Yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't leave the village I I'm really curious to see how the actual gameplay is gonna work Because one thing that sure me and I was that I only watch the trailer I didn't watch any more of the the director time of time So I don't know if there's much more but like in the the trailer like the footage they're showing off like it You just threw pokeballs at them And that doesn't seem fun Unless that's gonna start a battle and that seems fun But anytime like I like the like the let's go games and stuff, but like I Play Pokemon to collect into battle. Yeah, and I just don't have high confidence in a Controller scheme and setup that makes throwing pokeballs feel good enough to be actual gameplay Because let's go had the little pokeball that you could get and throw and I did that awesome. That's all good No They didn't they didn't secure it My TV is great and my heart is full because I've done this and a Pokemon cock Now did the pokeball then fall and hit me in the arm? Yes. Oh, yes. Oh, did it ruin the magic a little? Here I have some final notes for please on top of that So here are my onions in in the world where we talked about is it okay to like things? Yes, is it okay to not like things here's where we're at because I Saw this open-world thing and then you bring up a good point carry about the gameplay because I'm also kind of just like wait This doesn't even seem as immersive. What what does that? But you can roll You could like why not which means they're gonna mess you up. Why why would we have pokeballs if we're supposed to kind of be in this like Period era, right, right isn't the whole point of this period of time kind of Negating the idea Yeah, and so There is like lore already that set up in the in Jodo Where they talk about how? The apricots Apricorns apricorns um in ancient times quote-unquote they use them to make pokeballs And that's why you have all the different types of pokeballs. That's right But I'm also kind of just like I don't know why couldn't we make Pokemon friends like how we make persona friends or how you get personas and persona or You know you have monolith soft under your belt already Isn't there a way to like utilize such a system so you can befriend Pokemon without Or getting them in your party and letting them follow you without the use of a pokeball Yeah, and then also I realized that the limitation is more so in this idea of the demographic I'm it's like I don't know if they're really necessarily thinking that far Into whether or not it's like the audience is gonna accept it or if they're like they'll they'll spend money on whatever it is So I don't know how far how like deep really there. I mean if the game came out tomorrow. I would buy it There you go Carrie Also, I had no idea Pokemon had all this lore like what the fuck. Yeah. Oh, yeah, it's kind of white Because like we should we should we should email Nintendo and tell them to put a gun mechanic cuz then that's what you just forced him to be your friend. Okay, I carry had it Yeah, we had a hundred percent Yes, I yeah isn't Arceus or whatever our Arcus They're like Jesus, right What yeah, they like created all the Pokemon or something Did you it's terminal there's too much terminal montage There is terminal montage had a very good animated video about how all the legendary Pokemon Fought each other and it just destroyed the entire universe because that's how powerful they're supposed to be and it's just like wait according to lore then yeah, this is This is right. They're wrecking everything Can I can I tell you something that I do in Pokemon games that I a couple months ago realized? Highlights how deranged I am Or dedicated of a fan and and we're gonna get to dedicate in a second. Well, so hold on that one Ever since heart gold. I remember heart gold specifically. I Have refused to use any pokeball, but the normal pokeball like at all. I caught ho-oh with a pokeball How many a lot? But a lot of pokeballs And I played all of X and Y and I don't think I used another pokeball And all of sword and shield and I only use pokeballs What was that somebody who doesn't play a lot cheaper on yeah, like what was what is the point of this besides? I guess the big economic well when You look at the Pokemon in the like the bank or the box. It shows you what pokeball you got Yeah Wanted them to all look the same I didn't want people I didn't want people to look at my team and go you needed an ultra ball to catch an odd ish I'd rather them go you caught a ho-oh with a pokeball I mean, that's fair Oddish is also one of my favorite Pokemon. So I absolutely would give it So real quick real quick lightning round favorite Pokemon Bulbasaur Pikachu I'm fucking basic. I guess Pikachu, but I guess to be different odd ish Mine is Santru, but only only because of in the first season of Pokemon Oh my god, like AJ the wild Pokemon trainer had a had a Santru that could like swim and that blew my mind As a kid, I was like, yo he now mind you, you know like thinking about in retrospect I think he was a little bit too hard on his like Pokemon like he had a whip and I'm like, I don't think it's acceptable anymore that episode the Didn't age great A lot of the like heart behind it I think did you know like they did have a bond but I It went a little too far went a little too far But then his Santru did a move that like I don't think you could ever learn in the game What is it fissure? He's like saying shrew use fissure hit it till the ground splits I don't even know what he says in the show, but like I just always thought that that was like a cool episode Where a Santru could swim in water. It was yeah, that was great. That was my favorite Pokemon I didn't think about it till now, but it probably burned, huh? Yeah, I know Issa I go back a second when you're talking about like What like what you kind of won out of that game It almost sounds like you want a game that is closer to like Ash's story Because he basically went out of his way to do Shit, not normally like he beat a gym by knocking a sprinkler system and like Like he befriended the pokemon And not necessarily Did a good battle weakened them and then caught them He didn't use a whip either He saved that charm let me think and that charmander did not want to accept him, but he saved it No, he he he wore that charmander down like a like a nerdy kid in high school See, I don't think people could ever befriend pokemon and have them work with them willingly like I think animals are not animals Humans are just savages and will Capture pokemon by any means necessary Like like a gun. Yeah, exactly I'm sorry, I'm not gonna use the gun. I'm gonna reject your headcanon though. I don't think it could Issa do that one more time Issa Give me all your pokeballs. Exactly. It's about the intimidation Y'all see, no, it's the implication But instead it's oh gun Issa, Issa, put the gun down I'm more than you All right, Issa, I'll get in the tiny red mojito I'll battle when you want me to who who should I hit? I'm sorry I'm sword, shield, and gun Which by the way is super quick from the first season season of the anime like the episode where he lets go of his butterfree Oh, oh so sad. I can't I can't I can't do that. I can't it's like I'm grown and I still can't watch it Wait, I'm sorry. I have one more pokemon story related. Hell. Yeah, please For some reason I was talking to my partner this weekend about um Old pokemon toys. I had I don't know how he got to this conversation Um, but also look at my cat. There he is. Oh, no There he is. Yay. Look how obvious he looks Anyways, uh, so I was talking about vintage toys and I was like I was talking about um Uh, y'all remember the hey you uh, no, I choose you pikachu the talking pikachu toy. Yes. That was my favorite I I remembered it and I was like That's what true joy felt like And I bought one off of ebay this weekend and I'm going to get it soon and when I do I will bring them on Wait, is that It was a toy. Are you talking about the n64 game? No, it was it was a game, but it was also a toy Okay, I didn't know it would uh, it's probably like about this big He would clap his hands and his cheeks would light up and his ears would wiggle And he'd stop it's so cute. It's like it's like the round fat pikachu Not the best pikachu the best pikachu. Yeah exactly. So that was my like, um Pika chonk. Pika chonk. Yeah Is it a blush or is it like like is it like what is it made of? Is it a furby? It's kind of like a furby I like it less now like he is soft, but he obviously has like mechanical parts on the inside So he'd be kind of hard. That's all that matters Totally and the commercial is the best. It's all I was watching it this weekend Oh, I had the uh the insects. Oh, I oh, I might have had this too. I remember this. He is like that's not like He looks like a fat pikachu He really does I typoed I have you pikachu instead of I choose you. I have you. I have you now Okay, I'll have to go on eBay and buy uh your I choose you pikachu toys I've used I'll I'll buy the broke 1990. I saw that one I uh, I had the n64 game where you would like talk into a microphone. Yeah, I remember that Oh, I love that one. I loved it until My friend spoke to my pikachu, which I Developed a gray bond with and he took the mic for me and he said fuck you pikachu And pikachu got sad Did pikachu pull out a gun like he said is I I almost pulled out a gun I wouldn't do that, but I was I got I got sad and I just was like I can't I can't even look at my pikachu So shamed so he's just living on my n64 cartridge. That's probably a fate worse than death, huh? I'm I'm so I'm like so not present because I'm just looking at this I choose you pikachu toy and I'm like so close to crying because So they can show it I just Just talking about it made me feel like remember all these like good fuzzy childhood memories that I really needed I want to see that commercial because that looks like it's from the commercial it does And it's pretty fucking dope. Is it weird that you can just like look at a picture and go that was from a 90s commercial, huh? If it's got a ring pop in the It's from the 90s if it's got dunkaroos Ducker If there's a group of kids coming in from playing Yes, I want that purple Um Is anybody any more pokemon things because I want to talk about something before we're gonna have time We're good. I can keep going. So like let's let you do let's let you transition. Yeah. Yeah Oh, look, we can always go back to pokemon. Let's be clear Aaron What the fuck is crypto art? Oh god tell us So I'm definitely not the expert on crypto art. I tried to crypto art expert. Oh god. No I'm trying to look up into this before we started and Oh god, there's so much to read about and I before Before you find it is is crypto art is is it drawings made by like a big foot or by like that would be God Okay, all right, let me write that down Not to be confused with the thing I patented for my gun called the cryptid dart Extra d in there be careful. Um, what about the crypto fart though? Oh Tyler cut this out the episode so I can make that Crypto fart that is that the whoever smelt it dealt it like like you don't know where it came from That's it cryptic I think we all farted That gate that that one doesn't work when you try and pop Aaron pulls up the gun pretend that we're stupid wink. Oh god. What's crypt what's crypto art? I gotta do you buy it at the crypto mart? Yes, okay, so Do you put it in a crypto cart? From an article I found online it's basically rare digital artworks sometimes described as digital trading cards or rares associated with unique and provovial rare tokens that exist and on the blockchain Uh, and I don't want to go into the blockchains and stuff because I don't fully understand them But basically no one really does it's crypt art is digital art that you can buy with tokens And before you go, hey Aaron, why don't I just take a screenshot of these rare images and then say I own them? Well, doesn't work like that because you have to buy a token to say that you own the crypto art, I guess Who can check the life? It's kind of like a license and these licenses are like limited or can be limited releases so that it'll be like Uh, only 200 available um And I saw this pop-up recently. Oh, yes So I found this example of a rare. This is a rare pepe a card art Um, do you want to take any guesses at how much this sold for? Oh, no I'm guessing 500 crusty burgers I was gonna be like are we are we limited to a currency so I do any currency usd usd Okay, how much we think it sold for how much it should sell for how much you think it sold for Who 64,000 Okay, oh my god because you're asking I'm gonna say 150,000 dang 10,000 It's the closest $39,000 But I technically overbid so you're the closest That's um, I just don't get because we all have it now and everybody watching You don't technically own it like yeah, you can say you saw it and you could take a screenshot and save it to your computer But you don't own it. What if I print it out? I mean you could go to the um Uh, like the Mona Lisa for example, you could go and like print out your own Mona Lisa It'd be like I have it right here Nay nay, it's up in some museum somewhere and that is like the original That's you just have a copy of it um And for some reason this past weekend or so I guess crypto art has like exploded Uh, so I'm seeing a lot of people on my timeline on twitter like starting to hop in on it Which is interesting How does one make it you just I I didn't have time to go into that like anybody that's the one thing I do find it interesting It kind of goes into that modern art aspect where it's kind of challenges. What can be art right So a lot of like amateur or non like professionally trained art or like artists right are popping in on this uh and Creating their own works to be sold. So it's like anybody can do it and it kind of like It's a better way to support artists. I guess um It depending on like what currency or like where it's bought from Artists can kind of get a larger portion of the pay It's it's interesting. I just feel like it falls apart when you don't have a tangible thing Yeah, that's I kind of feel like it's uh Like a guy online like, you know, use bi pixels. Yeah, that's right avatar like clothes Uh, I I'd like to say I was I was confused before And I'm confused after I mean I can show you more examples of uh some crypto art So I the big thing that was on my twitter feed in relation to the crypto art discussion is actually just how much energy it takes out to uh even Do all of this. I mean, it's like I can't say that I understand fully Why it takes up so much energy in order to run all these things, but it's kind of like bitcoin farming or whatever it is Yeah, it's not like the creation of the art itself. It's the use of blockchains and like right Uh purposely overly complicated math that these like servers have to perform And there's like some tweets of like how one piece of art. Oh god. I can't find too many tabs open Yeah, I think I saw one piece of art. You can't find a graphics card. Yeah, it like uh sold like the energy needed to sell that Was like 40 years worth of like the population of london or something. It was some crazy bullshit. Yeah So it's like not to get like political, but it is like Kind of going into that. Hey, is this like Good for the environment sort of thing. Yeah Here's some more crypto crypto I think in relation to that as well where you're talking about like it's an interesting discussion on what Drives art. It's kind of like uh, since we all got into stocks recently It's like the stock market with game stop after a certain point you realize that people in society are the ones who Uh judge What the worth of something is and it's not actually noted or denoted by anything objective It is it is literally by like human representation or human thought and sometimes human thought is really fucking weird Uh, I just don't we don't agree with with each other about what exactly is valuable and like what should have value. Um That is an interesting Also kind of reminds me of like gotcha games like you know paying actual money for digital or the chances to get a digital image of a digital waifu And I wow Right now Right now he actually in chat. He did ask me and this is obviously open to anybody If there was a unique pokemon That only one person could have would you want it? And the answer is yeah, because I'd have the only pokemon That's real because you just made a real pokemon. No, I mean I I always think about the other day too Like you know like the whole thing in yugioh where it's like there's only four blue eyes white dragons What if card games actually did that? I think people would die. I think people wouldn't order each other for cards. I really do That's already like I'm saying I would for an exodia. Yeah, like I certainly would hardcore collectors Of like actual cards right now like there's yugioh and pokemon card collectors But the thing is they have like a physical object With like crypto art. I don't I get it But it's not my thing. I don't know I wish I wish that like Mixing a little dragon ball z into this scenario here carry So I I wish that if like I had to I had to scout and go across the world to collect all the different pieces of exodia And then the moment I used it in a game It would then shoot into the sky and spread apart and like literally you'd have to redo it Like that's the only way I would I would actually um Want that to happen like that would be great. Oh like the dragon balls Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. I did my brain was already gone and it was already understanding what I was saying No, I yes after after you play exodia and you obliterate your opponent The the the cards now physically fly into the air and then shoot off into different directions You know, I would I would try to find exodia the dragon balls if I really wanted to achieve well, please yeah Or just I mean never once I was gonna make a bad joke I It would bring back the Obviously like something that I feel like just isn't real anymore. We're just like adventuring Like You know We know where shit is I guess is that are we just talking about geocaching at this point? Yes, is this what geocaching is do you remember before pokemon go when when the game was you just went to google maps And you had to find the random pokemon that was just Randomly somewhere in ecuador. Does anyone remember this? No This was like before pokemon go Yeah, like google just had this whole situation where yeah, you just went on google maps And you just had to like zoom out or I don't know how you would find it because I literally tried for five minutes And was like this is not the pokemon I wanted But like yeah, it was it was before before the whole like niantic situation. Yeah, googly googly I'm sure i'm not dreaming this up Is this like a burnt seed bear situation? I mean if you say it with enough confidence, I'll believe anything so yeah I think I think there's another aspect that people like of it being um Again challenging the Like the norms of what can be art? Uh, I guess a lot of it's become like kind of meme status now. So there's a lot of like crypto meme art um the None being anonymous Uh And it's a very pro artist and this article I'm reading references, uh dankness As being I was about to say I can get behind all of that and then you said dankness and now I And now you just you're thinking about it. Yeah, I am. Yeah, I'm trying digitally native geographically agnostic democratic slash permissionless decentralized anonymous memetic Wow self-referential Uh crypto patrons pro artists and dankness So if you're interested in any of those Maybe crypto arts for you, but maybe consider The environmental impacts of it. Yeah Is this like the same when you were saying that I was just like is that the new v for vendetta like motto? But for like crypto art Remember remember this dank jpeg I have I'm sure there's crypto art, um, um, mr. Vendetta There has to be I know so little about that. I I just assumed that it was actually his name until this moment I guess that is his name. Yeah, don't you hear me say it with confidence? Yeah, I was gonna say something one term. Oh, uh, have uh, has banksy weighed in Oh, this seems like up his alley. Did banksy do this? He's a scam. That's a better question. Yeah, crypto art's been around. Where is banksy? Oh, I think banksy is just crypto art. Like it's why is banksy. I think banksy's kind of like batman banksy just think of this When I was looking it up crypto art's been around since 2017 Uh, I don't have time to read this article, but it does sound like banksy and satoshi nakamoto are Yeah, it sounds like they're making something Oh That's a toshi person. If i'm not mistaken is the like mysterious We don't know if this is a real person or not Who like kind of maybe i'm just talking at my ass But it's supposed to be like one of the originators of like bitcoin, but no one knows if this is a real person or not So, I don't know. I googled him in those pictures. We're on to something. Where in the world is carmen san diego? Oh, I don't think it's actually him. Who's this random old japanese man? Who is that? And you think it's a toshi cone? Is that what's happening? No No, um Some in the chat. Can you just google it uh in the right side? There's pictures of him But when you go to the wikipedia page that picture is not there. So Oh um Some uh burdo and chat noelle says that uh that pokemon thing you're talking about was a google maps april first april Very good. I see. It's good prank the prototype Uh, well, I guess this is the best time to announce that uh ruby volume nine Will be a crypto art exclusive for the first Uh frame at a time Yeah, we never need to buy a frame and you can piece them together in the community And it'll bring us all together. It'll be great. Yeah. Yeah, money Yeah, I think it's gonna do it for this episode of I have notes when I point people real quick. Uh, we're still doing an amazing, uh, uh Black heritage month.
