 and welcome to Why Can't We Be Friends? The only morning show where we answer your questions about the Halo-based web series Red versus Blue. I'm Simmons, and he's Griff. Today's question comes from user grifology, and they ask, do you ever wonder what, no, no. Nice try, not really though. User Spartan the Red Sea, oh, I like that username, asks, is RVB dead? Wow, on second thought, can we just go back to the first question? I think we should answer it. No, it isn't, it objectively isn't. Can we talk about the word objectively while we're at it? It's sort of becoming literally 2.0, which is a damn shame if you ask me. You know, you're right, Griff. Words used to mean something. Yeah, we used to say them, and people would listen. Not just hear the things we rambled about back in that big box canyon, but really listen to what we said to each other. We could pontificate to our heart's desires and feel seen. Now there's just so much noise. How do you cut through it all? Some days I don't think you can. You just gotta hope that someone, somewhere out there, still hears you and really listens. And in fact, maybe we could spend less time adding to the noise in general and be more intentional about listening to those around us. Yeah, and maybe because, you know, it's so much harder to connect in spite of endless waves of connections than when we do, it'll be so much more meaningful. Because to connect with each other now to really meet someone where they're at, see past our differences takes so much more effort. You can't do it accidentally anymore. So connection isn't easy. On a New York street somewhere anymore. And that's okay, it's intentional, it's hard work. And hard work is good, intention is good. No more of this ready fire, aim stuff when we're over emotional and feeling alone. Today's world isn't doomed, it's just different. We adapt, we try harder, we connect deeper. Hopefully. Hey guys, bad news. Looks like the feed died a little while back. We got audio, but no video. We're gonna need to take it back. What the fuck is wrong with you? You had one job. Why would you ever make a mistake or do anything that I would personally disagree with? Yeah, why do it wrong when you could so obviously do it correctly? This is Rooster Teeth's fault, man. They've changed. You are single-handedly and objectively ruining my childhood. Hey, we're back everybody, we're back. We will bury you. Oh, and just to reiterate, we are not dead. Have a great morning and an even better day.
