The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Newly acquainted bros with nothing better to do after work so we decide to try this podcast stuff. We'll be having daily discussions about various topics from current events to whatever is on our minds. Let's get real and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.
The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Life passes through, not around, and sometimes it walks in on you in the shower
What happens when someone unexpectedly joins your shower during a livestream? This question kicks off our wildly entertaining journey through gaming nostalgia, workplace boundaries, and the future of console gaming.
Remember when video games didn't require internet connections? When you could simply insert a cartridge and start playing immediately? We take a nostalgic trip through gaming history, from organizing Madden tournaments in the '90s to exploring virtual galaxies in No Man's Sky. The conversation reveals how deeply games have shaped our experiences and relationships.
We dive deep into the evolution of gaming technology, particularly Microsoft's innovative yet short-lived Kinect system. This groundbreaking camera technology changed how we interacted with games before privacy concerns and technical limitations led to its demise. The discussion naturally flows into a fascinating debate about the future of console gaming, with both hosts declaring "the console wars are over." Could Sony and Microsoft ever join forces to create a super-console combining PlayStation's hardware expertise with Xbox's software capabilities?
Beyond gaming, we explore how entertainment media broadly tends toward recycling ideas rather than innovating, from explosion-heavy Michael Bay films to Hollywood's reliance on remakes. The conversation reveals how these patterns reflect broader cultural trends affecting how we consume and create entertainment.
This episode captures the authentic passion of two friends discussing their shared interests while offering insights into gaming culture that will resonate with longtime players and curious newcomers alike. Whether you're a console loyalist, PC gamer, or just someone interested in how technology shapes our leisure time, you'll find something to enjoy in this wide-ranging conversation.

And then I'm like, nah. What did he do? He got out of there. He got out of there. He said, what the hell? He got out of the shower. He said, nah, dude. That's crazy. What do you what do you how will I, bro? You're not ain't nobody coming in unless it's my girl. Ain't nobody coming in the shower. I mean, of course, obviously. You know what I mean? If it ain't my girl, you ain't coming in the shower, bro. What's going on? What's going on nowadays, bro? The thing is, people are getting bold out here, bro. People are getting some of some of these some of these upper people, they think they're feel comfortable saying what they want to say and like, you know. You know, and and you know, I'm not against uh being open and all that other stuff too, but being open doesn't mean just jumping in people's showers jumping in people's showers and turning the dick in people's faces, you know. You know what I mean? And throwing throwing fucking you did you hear what happens at the women's basketball? They were throwing they were throwing toys on the on the field? Really? Yeah. Huh? They were throwing toys on the field on the court, yeah. And I I don't know how security didn't see that big ass vibrator that they were. That's funny. Yeah, who knows? Yeah, well, who knows how they snuck it in? Who knows how they snuck it in, bro? Careful, that thing might be slippery. Yeah, careful. I would wear some gloves if I was the person picking up those things, you know what I mean? Let me give me the sniff. I ain't gonna lie. Yeah, dude. It's crazy out here, man. I mean, with on and all, what can we do, right? Yeah, right, right, right. No kidding. So, what else is going on, man? I haven't seen you in like a day and a half, bro. You know, just been thinking. Thinking on what? Thinking about life. Thinking on life, huh? I bought a little watch just to watch time go by. Yeah, I saw that. I saw that. Just to watch time go by and so you know? Because don't you hate when you're like nothing? You know, don't you hate when you're at work and you're working all day, you're breaking a sweat. The moment you you you lift the finger to just check the time or something on the phone. All the time. Who's around the corner? Who's around the corner? Boss man. Hey, yeah, what the hell? You on your phone? You on your phone? And you're like, bro. Last 30 minutes. Right, last 30 minutes only on your phone. I've been standing here for 20 seconds, but last 30 minutes I seen you on your phone. Right. You know what I mean? He'll be like, what the hell? Talking about some stuff. He's like bringing up some stuff that I did two years ago. I don't even remember what I did a month ago. Exactly. He's like, really? You remember a year ago you called me this? I said a year ago. Say, what? He's like, not yesterday, sir. Still, I'm still coming. Not yesterday ago. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, tomorrow, the day they the next day after that. Shit. While I'm dancing on your grave, right? You know what I mean? Shit. That's how you gotta tell him, bro. Sometimes you gotta mess with these people, man. That's you know, I the the way I see it anymore, because I've noticed that when I don't tell him shit, and you know, I'm not saying take it overboard, but like, you know, just freaking, you know, break bust his balls like he likes to bust yours, you know what I'm saying? And if you do that, I think he you know he walks away a little bit. As long as you don't go too overboard and get too offensive, you know, he usually just tends to walk away a bit and wave you off as he's doing it, you know. So, you know, not anymore. Like, I just I mean I I tell him, I tell him in my mind, but not like what I'm really thinking, but I you know the nice clean PG version of it. Right, right. You gotta let them know the PG person. So, yeah, man, this is you gotta stand up, and it's not just it's not just with bosses, it's with other people around the shop that think they you know get it ain't never been about that. Never ever been about gathering. Never been. Never, never have, never will. Gator's bitches better be wearing Jimmy's around here. You know what I'm saying? But nah, dude, I don't do that. I don't, I don't like, see the thing about me is where's my baby powder? Mm-hmm. Thing about me is like, I know it's kind of hard, right? Because you gotta play the role. You can't let people get to you, but sometimes you gotta let the, you gotta let them know, hey, look, bro, you you you you're talking a little too crazy. Yeah, bro. You know what I mean? Tell the fuck down with it, dog, right? Or they'll they'll try to say some slick stuff or like you know, but it is what it is. It is what it is, man. You just gotta let it remind yourself that you're doing this for the pod, bro. You're doing this for the pod. At least that's what I tell myself nowadays. You know, seven, eight months ago, I was telling myself for a different reason, but you know, whatever. Right, that's your loss. No, dude, but no, hey, look, it's always nice to have like a hobby or something, uh, you know. I remember, dude, I remember COVID hit, bro. I was a real big gamer. And I honestly, I was never a gamer like that. Like, I would watch my brother play games, but I was never really. I mean, growing up, growing up, yeah. You know, when I was a kid and stuff, but like I feel like once I hit my teens. Like, what was the last big game you played? The last big game I played? Yeah. Like the last game that you finished or whatever. So when when the last game that you were really into that you played on the regular. I wanna say that no matter whenever you can get on it, even uh 10 years from now, you'll be like, eh, just pick off where you left off just because you've been setting everything up just the way you want it. You got everything set just the way you want it. You got fucking shit running right, fucking running smooth. That was, you know, I'm not gonna lie, that was uh Call of Duty Cold War. Yeah. And that was uh probably like five years ago. I don't I don't do the shooter games, but uh that was No Man's Sky. No Man's Sky. You know what's funny? I think my my my buddy up north was telling me that he's playing that game too. Yeah. No Man's Sky, and he said he's pretty good. It's badass. I think I'm pretty sure it's just like it's just like Red Dead Redemption, but you're up in the sky, bro. I'm telling you. And really the the the thing is like right now I I uh I'm working on a settlement. They just put out an expansion pack for uh build your own Corvette Starship. Corvette? Yeah, Corvette Starship. So it's just uh a little fast, a little fasty, a little fasty little hoopdy or whatever something. Something you could be proud of. Yeah, yeah. You know, you don't have to ask. Something you can be proud of to fly around, but you have to run around buying blueprints to build it. It's a new expansion pack, a new mission, or whatever. So I've been kind of putting that one off because I'm just busy trying to get my resources up and everything. I've actually been thinking about playing. I did start playing Medieval Dynasty. Have you heard of that one? It's funny because I think my boy and Lord told me the same thing. Yeah, dude, that one's a good one too, bro. But it's just like it's just like medieval times. You start off, dude, and are you fighting dragons? I'm not sure if you get to that point yet. I've been you start off and you gotta you gotta it's like Minecraft in a way. You have you start off, you're in middle medieval times and you have to build your shit. You start off gathering to get yourself clothed up, get you some clothes, then you start chopping wood to build you a house, then little by little you get you unlock these other things where uh you can plant and start uh bringing in bringing in money, you know, be a farmer or do whatever it is you gotta do. And eventually over time, you marry some, you meet a woman, you marry somebody. Some of the missions will take you to like uh meeting the king and doing stuff with the king, and you might like get a chance to like become a part of that sort of thing. You know, it can go anywhere, the game can go anywhere, really. But you can get married, and then so the thing is that eventually you're building up your dynasty basically so that your son can take over. And so eventually you pass on, and that's the game is like you eventually you you play as your son. Aww. And then that can keep going and going and going. When was this game? Well, no, there's another one too. Uh World War, I think uh Call of Duty uh World War II. World War II? That that's more that's not a shooter game. It's uh it's like risk. What's it called? Call of Duty uh Call of Duty World War II. I don't think I've ever played that one. It just came out. It's an online game though. It's one of those online where it's just it's all online play. You know what I mean? Right kind of like Fortnite or wherever it's just online play. It's free? Yeah, it's free, it's online play. Like it's just player versus player, it's not like I I'm not much into the online play, but I wouldn't mind playing this one because I did like playing um Civilization. You played that one? Civilization? Yeah, I played I played like the third or second or whatever. I played the first couple of ones, and they were cool, but they just got a little too they expanded a little too much more. It gets a little difficult to navigate. You have to really spend some time to get to know the controls on that one. But it's a cool game though. I mean it's basically you you pick uh and with each game they have different uh leaders and dictators and rulers and kings and presidents. But like they'll have like uh you can pick who you who you want to rule as uh the one the one I started playing with was Abraham Lincoln, or you can be Catherine the Great, or you can be Mahatma Gandhi, or you could be whatever. You know, just just actual leaders from the past, and then uh you build a civilization basically. And this is Call of Duty? Uh no, well this one's uh civilization, but the other one's the other one's kind of like that. It's Call of Duty, World War II, but it's like as if it was World War II, but it opens up the map, it rearranges maps and makes it kind of like that sort of conflict. Oh, okay, okay. But the last game I played like that was probably like Assassin's Creed or something. Well, no, this one is more like have you ever played Risk? Risk? Yeah. No. It's like a board game, it's a it's a war board game. It's like you open up and it's a big ass map, and you have soldiers and you can you have to build and do resources and all that stuff. It's kind of like that. No, it's like you're not like running around shooting things. You're building you're building ships and you're building platoons and you're building uh so they could go out and fight? Yeah, you're building fucking squadrons and and battalions. So you you you yourself don't go out there, you're like you're not one person. You're just you're just basically commanding the whole your whole what do you call that militia from of your your crew, your army, country, whatever country you you have, you're just controlling everything. You're going to war against other countries, basically. You're like the president or or commander-in-chief or whatever. I think I've seen games like that. Those are pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This one is is command is that, but it's just that. It's World War II, like in a big board game, world map style type thing. It's pretty cool. Oh, okay. That's not bad. PC or console? It's all of them. I mean, you can get it. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know that if I want to play it on my on my this, I probably can move up to uh the ultimate game pass, but uh I I just canceled my game pass. I gotta I gotta buy No Man's Sky because uh I'm hooked on that game no matter what. I'm actually gonna I went to Walmart to go f I went to the store to go find uh a Game Pass. Yeah, they got the three month one, but sometimes on the street, it was like 50 bucks, but I think sometimes on the street they have the year one, and I really want the year one. Yeah, yeah. I really want the year one, it's better, even though it's like a couple of. And you know, if you wait, if I wait another two, three months at the end of the year, usually at the end of the year, if you've had Game Pass like for the majority of the year, and then you cancel like the last two months or whatever because you can't pay for it, they'll they'll hit you up, dude, like the last two weeks or the week before, or the last three days of the year, and they're like, We got this New Year's sale going on right now, dude. We're giving you till the end of the year to get this shit. It's a whole year for like I think like 50 bucks or something like that. Yeah, dude, they something like that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so if you want it, bro, now is the time to act. If not, so well, this is the only time we're offering the only time it's really gonna come around. Right, right. Because when it comes to Game Pass, bro, you're better off getting the three months or a year. Yeah, no, I get that. But like, you know, it you sometimes can't afford that. No, you're right. And I that's why for me, I I I'm better at making my money stretch out that way, yeah, monthly than I am. Like, I mean, I get it, it's cool, but then then the year's over and like You gotta pay that extra. It's either start paying for the month, or it's like I eventually I'm gonna start paying for the month again, so I might as well just get to it. Yeah, you know, and I know you're paying more money, but at the end of the day, for me, it's the convenience of set it and forget it. Yeah, it's like fuck it, it's already set up, whatever, you know. Yeah, no, I hear it. Once that year's over, it's like, oh shit, you gotta renew your shit, dog. Guess what? You can wait and hopefully find another awesome deal like they did last year, or you can just start paying monthly, bro. What do you want? Right, right, right, right. Yeah, no, I get the so right now I'm gonna go down the street and hopefully they got the year one because sometimes they do have it. I'm not, I'm just gonna get the three-month one and just you know, yeah, yep. So see how that goes. Nah, bro. I think for me, I'm done playing Madden, man. I'm just done. Like if I'm not gonna be buying the game when it drops, then I'm not gonna be hitting the 3% club like I like I at one point I hit the one uh 1.5% club, dude. And Madden? On Madden. That was uh 2015, which was 2025. Damn. Or 2020 or whatever the fuck that that Madden was. Or Madden 25. Madden 25. Yeah, it came out they skipped, it was weird because like they came out with 20 it was like 2014, and then they went, yeah, oh, it's our uh fucking 25-year anniversary, so it's Madden 2025, or Madden 25, we're calling it. So they went from 14 to 25 to 16. Damn. Yeah, you were deep in there, huh? Oh, dude, I was deep in that bitch, dude. Uh dude, I've been playing Madden since fucking Sega, dog, since like the 93, 92, bro. Yeah, man. It's like that shit was fun. Me and my cousins. I remember having uh tournaments, fucking, you know, just sitting there, you know, putting five dollars down per year, you know, on a game. There'd be a gang of us just sitting there smoking dope, doing what we were whatever we was doing in the trap.
SPEAKER_00:Five dollars.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, dude. Just put that five, who's uh who's got who's got in? Put another five dollars down if we're fucking winner, you know. The player takes winner. You weren't you weren't really into the uh basketball? Yeah, we played basketball too. Yeah, yeah. Um, you know, I'm not much into basketball now anymore. Right, but and I never really was really. I was I was good enough to be competitive then, but uh I've never really been into basketball unless I'm playing it. You know, but when it came to sports game, uh NFL was definitely Oh yeah, dude. NFL. FIFA was a cool thing for a while. Chell's too, fucking NHL. Uh NHL. Oh, what about MMA? Oh no, yeah, yeah. UFC. Yeah, yeah. I did UFC for a minute too. That was during COVID, bro. I was fucking UFC mastery, bro. You ever seen the you ever seen the VHR uh boxing matches? Like how you could put on a VHR or how they had the Wii back in the day to be. But go ahead and remember it. I uh I seen back in the day, dude, when we first came out. I don't know if we came out with yeah, we came out and then they had like it was like these little mini people, bro. They were like avatars and they had like a sports thing that came with the Wii. You could play baseball, I think you could play bowling, and I think the there was a boxing one. It was pretty funny, bro. It was pretty funny. Yeah, yeah. You remember those? Yeah, yeah. You remember? And then uh I think Xbox came out with the Connect where you were it was kind of like I played the Wii, but I was more of a Kinect guy. Connect was way better than the Wii and way better than the iToy. I believe it. Just because Connect had the sensors, man. They had the sensors everywhere. What happened to it? I don't know, it's just honestly, I don't even know why it was outdated. I think there was just privacy issues and anything. It's just people were like freaked out because like it's a camera. It's a camera that stays on if you said it stay on. And people were freaked out. I think when it started, was people were showing that if you turn your infrared, if your night vision on your on your uh, what do you call it? Your your phone with the connect connected, like and you you're in that room where and it's off, but it's still on, that uh it throws out lasers, like a grid of let of thoughts. The connect? Yeah, and that's how those were the triggers. That's how I knew, like, when you were waving something to go do that, like it's a big thing. Oh, right, right. Yeah, and that's how I know you hit it. Right. And it was a grid of them, dude. It was it would cover everything, dude. But that's why the that's why the connect was so good. It was fucking great, dude. It was great. Like, I don't know about the voice command part with the Madden thing with the uh hike, you would do the voice command. You can hike the ball by saying hike. But it would yeah, but it was it was kind of glitchy and everything else. They they never really perfected the the software. I'm sure nowadays, and I'm sure if anything, uh they should try to bring that back. The connect was that. You know, they would that would be the I think that would be the only way to uh revamp the uh Xbox franchise, the the console wars. Bring that back. I mean, I'm sure there's better technology now to where those cameras is gonna be fucking insane, you know? It's just here's the thing about cameras like that, bro. Like even baby monitors, there's been videos of those being hacked into. Oh no, believe me. I know you know what I mean. So that's what people are talking about. But my thing is you could probably put tape over them once you're done using them.
SPEAKER_00:They should have like a man, dude.
SPEAKER_01:Uh this one time in Bank Camp. No. We had to connect. I had to connect, and I was with uh this is when I was separated. When I'm you know, I'm still separated, but when we first got separated. The French connection. I was over there staying with me and the the the lady friend were hanging out with the uh you know the kids. We we were over there for the I think it was uh summer vacation, the beginning of summer. And uh we we I think my wife went to Chicago or something like that, and this was in Colorado, but anyways, like the kids were at school. Well, they weren't at been like uh some sort of thing. Uh I think the kids were in school. Anyways, so long story short, the kids were in school. I was with them for the week. So me and my girlfriend were staying with them because their mom went to college and went to Chicago. And we were me and my daughter had been playing just dance. Fucking on Connect. Yeah. And that was our game. We played all three, all three of them. One, two, and three. Man, I was I never danced before, but because my daughter loved that game, me and her, I mean, I love that game. It was a workout, huh? Fucking moving like jagged, bro. I got I had to move like fucking jagged, dog. That was my favorite jam right there, bro. And and that that's why I'm saying that that connect was way better than any of those other camera games because of that game. The dance dance. Yeah, yeah, because with iToy, it was very glitchy, didn't it, it didn't really pick up stuff, but with Connect, you had to you can set that thing to imitate exact the exact moves, or just make it loose or whatever, or you know, just kind of vaguely do it. But that thing would, and then not only that, but it also had a workout, workout mode too. Damn, yeah. So it would be the same thing where the the camera would pick you up doing the moves and all that stuff, and so yeah, I thought that was really cool. Anyway, one time we had just connected the thing to uh that internet hub that came, it just came out where it's like you can take video.
SPEAKER_00:So we take a video now? Share it on the platform? Sharing video now on the platform?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, on the Just Dance platform. Oh hell no. We don't yeah, yeah. Completely forgot that thing was on. And everybody's just like, what the fuck is this guy going that got going on? No. You posted it? You sick bastard, no. No, no, no. The kids were with the kids were with um were at school. Uh-huh. And so it was just me and her, just me and my girlfriend dancing on the thing. Okay? Uh-huh. The kids were at school, so nobody was home. And you guys were dancing? We were dancing a really good number. It's a pretty provocative number, bro. That's all I could say, dog, right? So, you know. 69? I I forget what the song was, man, but uh we was getting down. And we got down. We was getting and we got. And so you was making a dance move, and then all of a sudden. Yeah, you get down, you were snagging. And didn't really didn't really realize it to like later they like, oh shit. The camera. Yeah, yep. So keep it rolling, the show must go on. That's why, that's why I think most cameras I think that's one of the reasons why. Like, you don't see that shit anymore. You know? Because it's it it could be an invasion of privacy. They're easy to hack if uh they're not well taken care of. Because what I don't understand now is why do they have just dance now? How are you playing that game? Buttons. That's stupid though. The whole point of doing it with the camera was learning the camera moves, or they have mats. They have mats now. Yeah, but you step on the silly, though. Exactly. They need to bring back the connect. They do. They do at least keep it with the uh with just dance. Bill Gates, holla at the shakedown. We need your ass to build that connect back. Yeah, yeah. Show rich ass. What are you doing, right? What you doing? Like, motherfucker. Or or the homeboy from Sony or the one of those. You know the uh NES. That that guy too. But you know the Xbox was uh wasn't it really gonna get built? Yeah, Bill Gates was more of a computer guy. You know what I mean? He's more, he was like, what do we need uh and honestly? I feel like I feel like the the what you call it console side of the stuff is dying down. No, the PC. No, I'm not even talking about it. They've admitted that the console wars are over, bro. Fuck the wars. Let's come together. I want them to come together. What if, dude, imagine if Xbox and PlayStation can't be able to get it? It's all cross-platform now. That's the that's the only thing you could do is cross-platform things. Right, right. No, but I'm saying now you can play Madden and you can play Madden with people on the PC or against people on the on the egg on the PlayStation or the Xbox or on the NES, wherever they're connected, it doesn't really matter. As long as you're playing Madden and you're on the network, you you can play with anybody against anybody on any platform. But I and at the same time, I'm saying I feel like when it comes to consoles, it feels like that's it. Yeah, there's nothing else you could do, it's all online. No, no, right, right. Now imagine though. Imagine if PS, PlayStation, and Xbox came together to build the ultimate console. Oh, that'll never happen, yeah. That'll never happen. Because look, everybody's going to PC now. Because some of these games Sony and Microsoft getting together? Exactly. No, that'll never happen. I know it won't. I know it won't. Two big hardware companies. I know it won't. Let's just say no, no, no. Uh one hardware. Well, I mean, it could happen. One hardware and one software company. Let's just say that actually could say I didn't even think about that. For a moment, that could be. Let's just say for a moment they they put their differences aside and they said for the people that love I love consoles, dude. I'm not a PC guy. I'm I love controllers. I know you could connect your controller to the PCs nowadays and all that, but I just I love console. I get that, but uh, have you played a game on a PlayStation that you play on uh PC that you play on PlayStation? I don't play. I played that I played the No Man's Guy since I got on got this uh fucking laptop, dude. Huge difference, bro. On PC? Huge because look at what the PC can do though. How many ramps can it hold? Oh, yeah, how much how much processors is exactly but dude, that's what I'm saying. If dude, imagine imagine if Xbox and PlayStation came together, they could do it, bro. They could build a super console. Well, yeah, like I said, you're right, because Sony is a hardware company, they they build the machine, they build the things that that run the hardware, you know what I mean? The software, and and and Microsoft is a software company, so that does kind of make sense. But the thing is, they would dude. I like I said, dude, I love consoles, but the thing is they it probably won't happen, you know. It's no, you never know. I mean, what what other way is there to go, dude? I mean, that's it. They say themselves that the console wars are over, so no, but this what else is there to do? The thing is that they did let's say they did make a console, the the conflict would be what would the console be? A PlayStation console or an Xbox console, or would it be split down the middle? A play box or X Station, X Station, yeah, you know what I mean? Because, dude, I believe, I believe Because that that would actually eliminate having to do any features on these uh mature rated video games, too. You know what I mean? And and and you could have the same quality of a PC, you could still keep up with people that because sometimes I'll play on my console, bro, and some of these people who are on uh on PC or whatever you know that That's why we have these conversations, because this could be the next thing that might be happening that we don't know about that's happening behind closed doors. I hope so, bro, because this can't be it. Like, okay, so so my understanding is Microsoft is next big project because there's no more reason to upgrade to or do and there's not much they can do with another console is to put out Microsoft is gonna put out a TV that has the Xbox hardware built into it. So if you want, that's that's that's all that's all they could do. So basically it's just a TV with an Xbox built into it, but you can get it's gonna be the same thing. You can either get it with uh actually I think that to to make it cheaper because it it's not cost efficient to put a uh a CD drive under anymore. What they're gonna do is just make it like Game Pass TV where it's connected to the game pass and you can play games from the game pass on it, and and then that's pretty much it. Like you it they're basically eliminating they're going from Xbox consoles to TVs. Dude, but that just takes the point out of like dude, what happened to the fun? No, we're not gonna everything. Because they're not thinking outside the box. So the consoles are are limited. They're limited. No, it's just think about it this way, dude. People are barely paying whatever whatever it is they're paying to get uh that tower Xbox, which is like what six hundred dollars? Barely. You know? But I'm so if you're gonna put out anything that's better, you're looking at something that's gonna be worth at at least$800 to a thousand dollars. Here's the thing though, anybody putting up that moment, and even then it it'll basically be a PC, bro. Like that's the thing. That's what I'm saying, is like if you're gonna if if they're gonna if they're gonna there's nowhere else to go besides going to PC at this. Okay, and I'm and that's cool. Why not make a PC, right? No, but I'm just saying give it that that console feeling. But that's what I'm saying. Why not? Why not make they're already make they already make bundle PCs Xboxes that are like catered and and and uh marketing for certain games, like like the Call of Duty Xbox edition fucking console that comes in a different color, or the Minecraft edition console that comes in green, or again, it has two, three different comes with two, three different skin packs, or whatever the fuck. I mean why not just do that with a PC? It comes with a fucking screen. But then again, it's like it's the whole thing of like coming out with a fucking TV with a console built into it. But then again, if you're gonna do that I mean who's gonna want to just upgrade just to get a uh a console because all you you're not even paying for anything upgraded, all you're paying for is just the console that's in the TV, you know what I'm saying? So it's like that doesn't even make sense either. Or there's also VR. But VR right now, tech is expensive as as it is. It's about 800 bucks. Work in progress. It's still a work in progress. But my thing is this, bro. Like then again, so is the Wii, right? My thing is this is like how many people got bruises and broke TVs and windows with the Wii, right? Yeah, yeah. Even with the VHRs, you know? That's what I'm saying. You know? But my thing is this. It's just what you think, big shoots. Big shoots, dude. I can't, I can't, I I feel like it's a I feel like it's a war, right? Like between consoles and PC. Like, yeah, PC's cool. Oh yeah, that's what we're doing. Don't get me wrong, but but when it comes to crossplay, when I'm talking about like competitive play, I I feel like here's the thing for me is that if the convenience of playing video games is that if you're gonna be playing video games on your fucking on your on your PC or your laptop, there's a good chance you're gonna get you're gonna get fucking hacked, you're gonna get viruses, you're gonna get whatever on your laptop, where all your other information, your business information, and all that shit is at. So I don't really want to be doing that. That's why I did try the the game on here, and it played great. I mean there the graphics are great, the la it's like hardly any glitches like it is on the Xbox, but you know, I erased it because it's like no, I don't want to give anybody any chance of preaching into my shit or hacking into my shit or anything like that. That's why I do it. I mean, it's really just more for safety more than anything. So especially with this whole uh cyber ding, yeah. Oh yeah, I mean yeah, definitely. I mean, this fucking computer still is bugging me about McAfee antivirus bullshit. Which I'm surprised that shit's still going on. I thought the dude was dead. McAfee? I don't know. He might be still around. I wouldn't doubt it. Machiavelli. No, yeah, dude. It's just I'm a console person, love console, always have. No, I get it. You know, and uh it would be nice if we could get a super console kind of for say. I'm not with the TV, I'm not with the whole Xbox inside of TV. A PlayStation or the XS with the fucking two gig terabyte, and that's but that's as high powered as it gets. I mean, I don't know about PlayStation, I mean uh the Xbox. Uh I don't know anything about the PlayStation, I don't know anything about NES anymore. I'm strictly Microsoft, bro. The thing about the PlayStation is the thing about PlayStation and Xbox is PlayStation has God of War, Xbox has Halo. Yeah, that's the only thing I I go back to PlayStation for, but even then, I have not played God of War since the third one. It's a good game. And the graphics No, it's it's a great game. Don't get me wrong. I it's one of the things that that uh kept me on uh that kept me on PlayStation for as long as it did to up until the third one, but honestly, I didn't like the way they run their online store. Oh Sony. Oh yeah, they could do a little bit better. If you're not paying for your subscription, you can't play games that you've done that you've bought or downloaded, and I'm not down with that. That's weird. That that shouldn't like, dude. If I buy the game, I should be able to play it no matter what. Exactly right. You know, and the thing is that it used to be back in the day, you you didn't need Wi-Fi to play certain games. Now, if you want to play a regular game, you need to be connected to the internet. Well, for the most part. I mean, even nowadays, you well, that's not true. I guess with the Xbox right now, yeah. You need to be connected to the internet to play any game. Yeah, because you need updates. That's true. Right. But that's the thing. Back in the day, you didn't need it. Yeah, you didn't need internet to play these games. Yep, that's true. And it's crazy because now it's all about business. Yeah, I mean, uh, it's true because I used to love playing the computer seasons, franchise seasons on Madden and the computer, against the computer, but like you can't find that anymore. You really can't find that season, you can't find that against the computer. You have to you have to play Ultimate Ultimate Madden and that uh I can't I'm not into Ultimate Madden. I I get in I get in uh I play Madden to play the team that I'm watching that I know is on the roster and all that shit. No, not you know, not the team, you know, not a build your own team with people, yeah, it just doesn't make sense. Right, right. I mean it makes sense, but it doesn't uh I that's not what I get in there for. What do you what do you what do you really get in there? I I get in there to play my team that I like to watch play and to beat other people with their favorite teams. Not uh build your own team where all the players that you want on that team aren't under. You don't you don't build your own team, you pick the t the team that comes with the team? With uh no, it's uh you have to start your own team and they give you a card pack, and the cards that the players you get on that card pack are your players. So you don't get to choose your players? You don't get to choose your players, they just give you random players from whatever team. Oh, and then you gotta build them up, eh?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yep. Like they basically got rid of franchise mode, which is was you get signed, do your OTA's schedule, and you have a crib, you build your crib up, you get your status up, and you're doing all this other shit throughout the week. Got rid of that mode. Really? That was that was like some realistic stuff right there. Yeah, I know that was fun for me. I like that. Right? Get to live an NFL life? Yeah, basically, but they they don't do that anymore. NBA started trying to do that. NBA uh I seen that 2K, but yeah, it didn't work out. That's cool. I mean, I I like it, but it's it's very glitchy. It was at least in uh 23. You know, I feel like a lot of these companies don't really put too much love into their games like they used to, you know, like dude, I I I'll play some of these games. Like, I love Call of Duty, bro, but there's always sometimes there's always a glitch or there's always a problem, and it's just like I get it, it's a free game, but the game makes so much money and they come out with new games. I feel like it's just recycling. Yeah, pretty much. Everything's just being recycled. We I feel like we got into the point where nobody's thinking out the box no more, and everything from phones to video games to movies, they're remastering movies, bro. Yeah, I wish they wouldn't, to be honest. They're making them live action, I wish they wouldn't. That's actually been happening happening for happening happening for quite a long while now. Oh, definitely. I just wish some of the classics would just stay classics, like don't make it a remake, don't make it a a live action movie, just leave it as it is. You know, the reason being is because you have all these Nepo babies that grew up watching all these older movies and they're like, oh, I want to do that movie, and they tell their daddies or their uncles or their you know, their board members or their family members that are part of the board, and before you know it, they're getting funded to make remake that movie, and yeah. I think it's all about the money. It's just that's why nowadays I usually just watch independent films because they're who independent films like the peanut butter falcon. Have you seen that one? The who? Peanut butter falcon, peanut butter jelly time, peanut button the peanut falcon peanut butter falcon. Peanut butter falcon? Shia LaBoo. Shia LaBoo. Yep, you ever seen hoes? Yep, boats and hoes, boats and hoes. You know me. I gotta have them boats and hoes. But um dude, bud, buddy went all crazy. Who? Shia La Boof, Shia LaBouffe. He went all crazy. I think that's that Hollywood stuff. You got all locked out, eh? Hey, Fato Loco, eh? You got all locked out, is it? Hey, Miklo over there going crazy, eh? Uh-huh. You were he was. But you know why you ain't seen Tax Collector? Who? Tax Collector? The movie? I told you. Tax Collector? Yeah. Southside Shire, fool. Nah. Southside of the booth. Supposedly he was really in that though. Oh yeah. Supposedly he was in the. Yeah, he did. He got into it. Yeah? He got into it, fool. But was he really. Supposedly, that's what they said. That he was really from there? That's why he beat up that uh FK Twiggs chick or whatever. A chick? Yeah, it was a soft. He uh he uh he fucked up this uh FK Twiggs or whatever is uh a dude or a girl. A chick. He was with her or whatever, and he was guess he abused the shit out of her, whatever he says. And then they came out with they came out with some Sundance movie documentary about his uh his uh acting school that uh ended up he ended up being getting sued and all sorts of shit for misconduct. You think Hollywood made him crazy? Of course, he's a child actor, bro. That's what I'm saying, dude. He was even Steven, Niggie. Dude, even Steven. He went from even Steven to hose, yeah, from host to Transformer. Yeah, Transformers, bro. When I think of Transformers, I think of him. Yeah, I think when I think of, you know what I mean? When I think of certain movies, I think of certain actors for certain movies. Because now they have like Transformers 100, right? I don't know how many Transformers are there. I don't even know. You know what I mean? They got a Puerto Rican in there now, dude. I can't even watch that's like after the first one, dude. I was I like I literally I wasn't epileptic, but I think that first movie almost made me an epileptic heart attack. Almost gave me an epileptic seizure, though. Just trying to figure out where the face is, where the hand is, where the foot's at. Like, what the fuck's going on? It's just nothing machine, nothing but machinery smashing up against each other. Fuck. You know? You I saw the faces. I I couldn't, dude. Like, what the fuck? Do you think they're sci-fi though? Or is that just no, it wasn't that, dude. It was uh but you don't consider that sci-fi? It was it was the the director, bro. You don't consider Transformer sci-fi though. Well, it's sci-fi. Yeah, it's sci-fi for sure. Don't no, yeah, I didn't hear that part. Yeah, it's sci-fi. But you just think the angles and however, it was What is it? It was I think it was made by the guy that did Underground Six or Six Underground or whatever. Is that the one where they blow up a Ryan Reynolds and they're all they're all uh Oh, they're like CIA or like badasses or dude, I'm so tired of those movies, bro. They all fake their deaths or whatever, and they're all assassins, or the world's greatest criminal, or this and that, or they're all specialists in their own field or whatever. But you saw how much action was in that shit, right? Right. It was like every five, it was fucking like constant, like literally, dude, like something's blown up, people are over here, and then the net, like uh the two scenes later, they're like like on the other side of the world, like what the fuck's going on? You understand what I'm saying? Yeah, I know what you mean. It's like you get in a lepilepic seizure, like look looking at explosions and booms and bangs and fucking, and then oh, this, and then fucking, oh, this guy's drowning. Leave him, leave him, and then fucking, oh, he's dead, and then like, and then three scenes later, it's like, oh, he wasn't dead, he wasn't dead, he was alive that fucking he just pretended to be dead. Like, what dude? Like, it's like what the fuck? Motherfucking bombs going off every two seconds, like dude. You can't even take a shit of the bombs going off. Motherfucking dude. I mean, and then I don't mean to talk shit, but I mean, yeah, that's that bullshit, dude's movies, and I forget who it is, man. Michael Bay. That's who it is. There you go. That guy, bro. Oh my god. All the explosions, dog. Yeah, dude. You can literally the guy that did that movie. It's just a movie of explosions, exactly. And don't get me wrong, I love a good explosion, but Jesus Christ, dude. This guy, you you literally, you, you go to you cut to a scene where you can't keep track of what the fuck is going on. And every and every scene got an explosion. You literally cut to a scene where a dude's just chilling, eating popcorn, explosion out of little way. Like, what the fuck? Motherfucker, explosion outside. Exactly right, dude. Yeah, fuck, dude. And his movies used to be great, don't get me wrong, because I think he was a part of he did The Rock, and The Rock was a great movie. The Rock? Uh, not the Rock, the actor, but The Rock with uh Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery. Nicolas Cage is a crazy one. Do you need to watch The Rock, bro? You haven't seen The Rock, haven't you? Nah. Yeah, you ever seen Snake Eyes? That's a good one, too. You know what was crazy? Yeah, did you hear the conspiracy? No. I think I might have, but I can't think of it right now. Supposedly, the man in Snake Eyes, his name was Charlie. Okay. And he gets Charlie gets killed, or somebody around his circle f gets killed around around gets killed kind of the same way. You know? Rest in peace, the gentleman who passed away. I think it's based on a true story, wasn't it? I don't know. But this was a this was like a 2000-something story. It's just funny because 2001? Yeah, it's funny because of the something like that, you know? And it's funny because um I remember hearing something about that. Yeah, it was there just so there's this conspiracy going around that yeah, some movies, even like The Simpsons, supposedly the Simpsons predicts stuff. Yeah, but you know, you think so? Yeah, no, yeah, you know, you can joke about stuff so much, and some people have really good political perspectives that they see things and all that, but it's more of a thought, and it's like, oh, that'd be funny, but then it happens, and it's like, hey. Yeah, that's a fine time. That's called prophecy, but they've done it quite a few times. I'm not gonna. How many times have they done it though? That's the question. That's true, that's true. I mean, but have you? I mean I haven't. I'm wondering who wrote those jokes, to be honest with you, because whoever the fuck wrote all those jokes, the ones that that predicted stuff, he's they have a prop a prophet amongst them. Do you believe so? Yeah, of course. I mean more than two predictions is they have a political fucking satirical genius up in that motherfucker. In that motherfucker, you know what I'm saying? Somebody that's like really sitting there thinking about what the fuck's going on in this world, like ha ha ha's gonna play out. Yeah, wouldn't that be funny? But honestly anymore, like I see people nowadays, and I can't think of them off the top of my head, but I see people right now that are throwing their hat in the ring before they throw their hat in the rings. There's certain things they're giving up, there's certain things that people do, whether they're a politician or a star or just somebody with money, they start doing like whereas before you never seen them in the public, or that you've seen them in the public, but now you're seeing them in a different way. In a different spotlight. And they're they're being more proactive in the community and everything else. That's because they're trying to get their name out there. And eventually, maybe not in three years, but maybe in like fucking seven years or three years that's four, yeah. Yeah, seven years. Sorry, I just stopped it. Maybe seven years from now, you know, they put in enough work and enough humanitarian work and uh to start maybe find a way to get uh elected into some sort of little bullshit office or whatever. There you go. And right now, who's in in desperate need of somebody with a lot of money? What party is in desperate need of somebody with a lot of money and a lot of reputation coming to come in and save their asses? From the Republican Party or Democrats, bro. Exactly right, exactly right. And who is the Democrat uh what sector of business is the Democratic Party fucking chock full of? Business? Bleeding heart fucking uh uh uh Democrats, Hollywood people and I'm not talking shit, I'm just calling it for what it is, really. Right, you know, right. I'm not saying uh for Trump, I'm against Trump. I respect a commander-in-chief or you know, you know what I'm saying? Right, our president that's our people made a choice, the electoral motherfuckers made a choice, and they decided to choose that choose that dude, and we have no choice, but only way pass is through.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:What did I tell you the other day? What did I tell you on Thursday? Thursday? Only way pass is through, bro. The only way to get past it is through it, dog. Yeah, that's the only way. Just don't think about it. Just exactly, and that's what I'm saying, though. Whatever it is, bro, whatever's ailing you, bro. Yeah, sometimes you have to fucking fly your way through whatever it is you have to do to fucking get past it, bro. You know? You're not lying there. That's what I had to do, bro. You're not lying there. You know, I had to stumble. You know, I'm gonna let the listeners know I had to stumble. I was doing really good. But you know, I recovered and uh, you know, I got a couple of beats and a couple ideas for some music. So oh yeah, I did hear those funky beats. Those were so. How were those? I like them. Tell the music how tell the people at home how they uh the first one was cool. The first one was like some um I can't remember too much of it. I remember I like the second one when the uh when the little uh with the strings? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. The second one that you played. I don't know if you have time to kick around, maybe we can go downstairs and have a drink or whatever. Maybe uh come up here and uh give you my explanation of what the sounds because honestly, I kind of have of a kind of a triple six mafia kind of flow to those beats. Kind of like a a sa uh a Texas kind of yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I hear you. No, no, you're good. I hear you. Yeah, yeah, I know the beats sounds slow, but the flow you can fit a lot of syllables into each other. Yeah, yeah, we could definitely do that. You could definitely check that out. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I just kind of kind of wanted to give you uh because you said you may be interested in doing some flow shit. Well, maybe, you know. You know, I'm I'm down for you know, giving out my expertise on on my musical shit. I mean, I don't really rap.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_01:But I've listened, I'm um, I think I'm fairly confident enough musically to uh give you some good directions and give you some good ideas. Be a Dr. Dre to your fucking uh easy. Right, right, right. Everybody, yeah. No, I mean I I I uh I don't know. I just I hear a funky beat and sometimes you know you just need directions sometimes, bro. Right, right. Hey, like right now, dude, I'm fucking ass deep into fucking Earl Sweatshirts, bro. Earl Sweatshirts. Yeah, man. Earl Sweatshirts. I I heard about him, I just never really listened to the music. For me, his uh for me, it's his uh it's his uh what do you call it? Um his stuff on Art Future got me turned on. But there's a lot of tracks on his solo stuff, and after all the stuff that he went through and everything, that's like damn this it's like uh whatever just whatever he has to say, bro, and just the flow of it is just like damn, dude, this this kid's locked into that damn beat, bro. It's hard to say, and he and he'll even admit it's like dude, it's like sometimes I don't even know, but it's like I'll sit there and I'll work it out and I'll work it out and I'll work it out, and next thing I know, I'm uh I have like a whole fucking you know, a whole chapter on one verse. He's spitting out words, and it's like, dude, where the fuck is he coming up with all this shit, man? I gotta check him out. I mean he's pretty good, bro. He's pretty good. Uh Chum, that's a good one. Woe. Chump? Chum Chum, that I think that Chum is from his uh uh his all his album Doris, and then Woe. Uh is not future jam, I think, but they're both really fucking good, dude. Yeah, both really good fucking jams, bro. Yeah, definitely gotta check them. Like I said, like I'm an old school punker. You know, I I grew up classically, somewhat classically trained in music. My first love in in any sort of modern day music was the Beatles. Beatles? The Beatles. The Beatles are hot, dude, back in the day. Well, I mean, they're still hot for me. Right. But then I worked my way up, but I was always one of those true to the music, true to playing playing an instrument and writing music and all that. They were true rock stars. Rock stars before rock stars. Yeah, and so for me now it's just like I just want to make music now. Right. And I I know and understand. I'm just doing whatever I can. I hate be getting on the mic when it comes to like having to spit anything or even sing. So I figure I'm just gonna focus on making beats and making music, and then if I can sing on something, and if eventually I I deem it to be good enough to put it out there, I'm gonna put it out on some sort of album. But I think right now I'm just focused on producing something. Because then I'm uh I'm gonna find the music and then maybe finding people, the right the right people for the song for the beat. Right. Because I'm not if I'm not mistaken, I know you were saying that you were talking about making a Yeah, I'm still thinking about doing that. Doing the Christmas thing. But I don't know. I'm finding I'm hitting Roblox, man. I'm not gonna lie. So I know I said two or three, but I I might just make it one. No, no, I mean if it like I said, they're they're all gonna be remixes or a remix of a more modern song or whatever. Right, right, right. No, but it should be good. I mean, we all hit Roblox once in a while. There's no yeah, no pressure. Yeah, you know, take time. Two months? Oh, definitely? Two and a half months? Yeah, two and a half months. Because it's already October and a few uh so three months. Yeah, like three months. It's crazy. Two and a half months, really. Two and a half months. It's crazy how this uh year kind of flew by, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hella crazy, bro. We'll see what happens next year, but you know, it's been uh it's been a good year. I hope our people listening. I hope our people listening have had a good year too. Oh, by the way, just so you know to keep you updated. Uh, we're hitting we're double digits on all our episodes except for this one, or except for the last one. You know, we got something coming for them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You wanna you wanna you wanna put that one up? Yeah, we got a part one, part two little episode for the people. Yeah, we got a two-party fighter for y'all. You know, yeah, something different to the table. Well, it's not just me putting my bullshit out there. Yeah, I'm gonna put it, I'm gonna put it that way because hey, we all got a little bullshit. I mean, no, my my boy let himself go a little bit. You know, big shoots, let it shoot out. Gotta let it know. Gotta let them know. But yeah, we all have um big shoots, took a shot, as he said. You know, sometimes you gotta shoot your shot. Yeah, shot a shoot, shoot a shot. You know, sometimes you gotta just shoot your shot with big shoots. Yeah, yeah. Let us know, man. Yeah, take that shot. And it's funny. Well, it feels good when you, you know, you kind of just build up the courage. Yeah. Yeah. I know there's some people out there that say, Hey, it's easy for me. You know, but for me, it's kind of like it takes a little bit, it takes a few drinks to build up. What are you thinking? You thinking we're gonna put this one out first and then we'll do the other two? We'll do that two-parter in the next one. But how about how about we we do this one today? We post this one up since we already plugged the show in. Two-parter in. Right. We'll pay for this one because we're 56 minutes now. It's a pretty good episode, I think. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. We could do that. I mean, we can we can talk about games for a minute and all that stuff. We could do that. And since we plugged yours that two-parter in, that's that's about three. Oh we'll do the two parters. You're right, you're right, you're right. Yeah, yeah, because the subscription is about to renew in a quick minute. Yeah, you're right, you're right. Yeah, right. And then just let me know how much I owe you. So I so if we do this one, it's like four dollars, you said, right? Something like that. Yeah, but it's cool. I'll give you, I'll give you like three, four bucks or whatever. It don't matter, bro. And then the bus sprout is listening so they can monetize us and find us some sponsors, so you know we not have to worry about like two, three dollars. Yeah, you know, go in halves on a bus sprout uh subscription. Right. No, I mean, you know, I'm having a good time, dude. And no, I'm sure. But I mean, hey, right, a little extra dough, don't hold nobody ourselves, bro. Right, right. You know, we just plugged their the two-partner in. Right. We're looking for some sort of help, and with this, which is another reminder. And we really are trying. This is a DIY uh studio out here at A-Day Studios. You know, slowly but surely we're we're working on uh getting a more professional show for you guys, and really this kind of show started as a as a for me, it's it's on my end, and I'm sure on both our ends, it's it's uh how to start your own episode, how to start your own podcast, but we're not giving you the technical side of it, we're just giving you the uh the hardships of what it is to run a fucking show by just the topics and content alone. Because it does get pretty difficult sometimes, and believe me, we have hours and hours of episodes that we haven't posted up because it's just right, some of them just need a little bit of tweaking here and there, some of them just weren't as interesting. And and we're still like I said, we're still trying to find our flow and our niche, anyways. So, you know, just bear with us. And we are working on uh getting up some websites up there like for Patreon and Buzzcast and everything else. So if anybody out there with the pockets wants to uh, you know, place a bet on uh on a couple of uh DIYers trying to have a go at this podcast thing and uh oh yeah, we totally appreciate it. Maybe find uh an extra source of income aside from our full-time jobs because yeah, yeah, we're not slackers here, we're not like putting all our eggs in one basket. We have jobs, right? And that's why this is a DIY thing.
