00:03:19
Chris
I'm like, what? So we call the guy over and he's like telling us all this, you know, they dated a girl from Easton and his brother went to SU and this and that. So yeah, it was pretty neat.

Twilly had an espresso. That was delightful.
00:03:50

Chris
Hmm.
00:04:08
wtfgoogle
I'm planning to only take carry-on, even though it's a 10-day trip, but I think I can make it work with a careful planning.
00:04:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:17
Chris
Yeah. We'll see dumb me who doesn't travel when the other two said, oh yeah, we're just doing carry on.
00:04:18
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:04:23
Chris
I thought that meant you just brought the carry on suitcase. I didn't realize that meant like a backpack or something too.
00:04:29
wtfgoogle
Yeah, you can bring your backpack and then little carry-on luggage put above you.
00:04:32
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. So I just had everything in my little carry on suitcase.
00:04:36
wtfgoogle
Oh.
00:04:37
Chris
So yeah.
00:04:40
wtfgoogle

Chris
Yeah.
00:04:43
wtfgoogle
Yeah,
00:04:43

00:05:11
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:05:11

00:05:33
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:36
Chris
Yeah. Nice.
00:05:38
wtfgoogle
You know, if you do carry on and you don't have to check luggage, you'd out of that airport quick as anything.
00:05:41
Chris
Right. Yeah. What's the way you got to make sure your wife doesn't do any checked luggage?
00:05:47
wtfgoogle

00:05:55
Chris
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:05:59
wtfgoogle
It's just waiting for baggage. It's the worst. The whole airport is doing it.
00:06:02
Chris

00:06:03
wtfgoogle
sucks.
00:06:03
Chris
Yeah.

Chris
Twilly did.
00:06:11
wtfgoogle
Oh.
00:06:11
Chris
He got his hands swabbed in Salisbury. i guess for explosives.
00:06:16
wtfgoogle
Hmm.
00:06:18
Chris
And then on the way back, he was bringing a bag of coffee for his mom and got pulled to the side for that.
00:06:24
wtfgoogle
Nice.
00:06:24
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:25
wtfgoogle
Nice.
00:06:27

00:06:32
wtfgoogle
Yeah,
00:06:35
Chris

00:06:36
wtfgoogle
my mother was like, just bring protein powder with you.
00:06:36
Chris
But.
00:06:38
wtfgoogle
And I'm like, you want me to take a non-distripped white powder and through airport security?
00:06:39
Chris
Oh, yeah. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah.
00:06:45
wtfgoogle
I'm sure that'll work.
00:06:46
Chris
Yep.
00:06:47
wtfgoogle
was like, ah,
00:06:47
Chris
What's like, I had taken my vitamins Thursday morning, you know, before we got through to to TSA and like anything else in your pockets. And I, you know, taking my cell phone and everything out and I'm looking, I was, I still have my fish oil in my pocket. I pulled it out. I was like, I have a vitamin to take.
00:07:06
Chris
He was like, that's a vitamin. was like, yep. Yep.
00:07:13
Chris
So, yeah. But...
00:07:18

Customer Service Frustrations
00:07:20
wtfgoogle
part. It's
00:07:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:07:24
wtfgoogle
also 10 days away. going to be a long week.
00:07:27
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. But the crew should be fun.
00:07:30
wtfgoogle
It's part of my... Yeah, the cruise will be fine. Not looking forward to the eating like ass for 10 days part, but yeah.
00:07:40
Chris
You don't have to. um
00:07:42
wtfgoogle
Pretty tough not to.
00:07:44
Chris
Yeah, you can find stuff. Well, i mean, Stryker had this nice spread for us for lunch at the yeah factory or whatever it is, their headquarters. It was like chicken Francois and rice pilaf and roasted carrots.
00:07:59
Chris
was like, isn isn't this bougie for a lunch?
00:08:03
wtfgoogle
We're just dumb soul bear guys. Give us chicken.
00:08:05
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:09
wtfgoogle
no
00:08:11
Chris
So...
00:08:11
wtfgoogle
What did you see? All the fanciest new stretchers and robot stretchers and I'm assuming AI driven stretchers.
00:08:16
Chris
we saw, yeah, we saw some new stuff like the electric stair chair that way, uh, costs three times the amount was a regular stair chair. And we said, yeah, you can keep that.
00:08:29
Chris
But the, like we went through the tech and stuff. We had to sign NDAs and all that, but the guy was saying it used to take them so long to like work on new prototypes. But now was like, we drafted up in CAD. I hit a button tomorrow morning. When I come in, I've got a 3d printed model I can mess with.
00:08:45
Chris
I was like, That's really cool. And they had like 3D printed an apple. It looked like a Gala apple.
00:08:50
wtfgoogle
Nice.
00:08:51
Chris
Looked, felt, I mean, I was just like, I want to bite into this thing, but I know I shouldn't.
00:08:59
wtfgoogle
Or they mess with you if it really was an apple. we got that done yeah I believe it it was a 3D printed apple.
00:09:05
Chris
No, I tried to stick my thumbnail into it and I wouldn't.
00:09:11
Chris
Yeah, but yeah.
00:09:11
wtfgoogle
and It's pretty amazing what they can do.
00:09:14
Chris
And like, we went to their sound lab and they showed us like how things adjust and they're geeking out about the frequencies they use. So you never lose it in your ear and yeah.
00:09:28
Chris
So, but yeah, it was fun stuff, but I'm definitely glad to be home.
00:09:33
wtfgoogle
Yeah. yeah
Home Improvement Adventures
00:09:35
wtfgoogle
It's funny. We were, I went, played disc golf with a friend of mine who used to be an EMT. She got out the Air Force, decided to be an EMT, and then got out of it pretty quickly.
00:09:41
Chris
and Okay.
00:09:46
wtfgoogle
And ah apparently the department she worked at still had like manual load cots and stuff. And was like, I don't think I could, I don't think I would put up with it.
00:09:58
Chris
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean looking back it's like we were cavemen
00:09:58
wtfgoogle
Like we did it for so long and I, without our power load cots now, I don't, there's no way. that's That's insane.
00:10:10
wtfgoogle
Yeah, look at, like, think about the old stair chairs. Like, we're just gonna put you on this aluminum piece of crap and carry you.
00:10:17
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. We're going to put you on this folding camp chair that has some handles kind of attached to it.
00:10:23
wtfgoogle
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:24
Chris
mean, you're better off just to tie the person to their kitchen chair and carry them out.
00:10:30
wtfgoogle
And like, whenever we have to like, usually now it's like a reef sleeve. We just move in with reef sleeves. Like, God, we're like, cavemen moving people with reef sleeves.
00:10:40
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:41
wtfgoogle
It's like, this is ridiculous.
00:10:44
Chris
Well, mean, remember we used to bring the stretcher all the way into the house.
00:10:47
wtfgoogle
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:48
Chris
And then yeah you bounce the wheels down the steps. And i mean I mean, that was like something you taught new EMTs.
00:10:51
wtfgoogle
Hmm.
00:10:55
Chris
You're like, okay, you know, you squeeze it here and you can dump it down and yeah. Animals.
00:11:01
wtfgoogle
Animals. Remember the old school?
00:11:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:11:03
wtfgoogle
I mean, this is before our time, but the even older school stretchers that you had to roll, ah like lay down. you had like the really hot large handles, which always were like bending over like you're, you know, just no wonder every, every EMS person who has a terrible back.
00:11:12
Chris
Yeah. Hmm.
00:11:16
Chris
Yeah.
00:11:19
Chris
Hmm. Yeah.
00:11:21
wtfgoogle
Hopefully this new generation will be like, man, I can move.
00:11:21
Chris
Yeah. yeah Yeah. so It's a. Yeah,
00:11:33
Chris
yeah evidently they have their.
00:11:37
Chris
that they assemble the heart monitors in the 80s and all in Redmond, Washington. They do the stretchers and the stair chairs and all in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
00:11:50
Chris
And then the Lucas is in Lund, Sweden.
00:11:55
wtfgoogle
huh yeah Lucas
00:11:55
Chris
I said, when do we get to go there?
00:12:02
Chris
So which evidently that's, did you know what Lucas stands for?
00:12:08
wtfgoogle
looned under Sweden Kazakhstanist no idea oh
00:12:15
Chris
You're close. It's the Lund University cardiac assist device or assist system. Lucas. Yep.
00:12:26
wtfgoogle
Well, Lucas is the best employee I've ever had work for me.
00:12:30
Chris
Yes, yes, yes, absolutely.
00:12:30
wtfgoogle
Yeah. Should get a POF every time.
00:12:36
Chris
Yep. Well, the new Lucas, they were showing us the 4.0s. They actually have arms on them that they crawl over to the patient. And yeah.
00:12:46
wtfgoogle
You just, it's like a canine, you hit a button on the ambulance and then Lucas walks out of the stretch, out of the ambulance, goes over, starts CPR, confirms arrest.
00:12:49
Chris
Yep.
00:12:52
Chris
Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a face hugger, but it puts it on the chest. God. Which, yeah, I also watched that on the way back, the new Alien movie, Romulus.
00:13:07
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:13:08
Chris
It went bad.
00:13:09
wtfgoogle
I've heard it's not bad. I've heard it's one of the better of the Amethystime movies, actually.
00:13:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:14
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:14
wtfgoogle
but still did terribly at the box office.
00:13:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:19
wtfgoogle
Though to be fair, I think every movie has done terrible at the box office this year.
00:13:24
Chris
Yeah, because people are finally smart and realize they don't have to go to a theater.
00:13:27
wtfgoogle
Yeah. Yeah.
00:13:30
Chris
Yeah. Why don't I go somewhere with sticky feet and overpriced concessions in public?
00:13:36
wtfgoogle
And public people.
00:13:40
Chris
Yeah. People.
00:13:43
wtfgoogle
People are the worst part of the whole, of every endeavor, I say.
00:13:46
Chris
Oh, yeah. yeah Yesterday. but oh my gosh. So rant. My wife is. quitting, leaving her job and she had a work phone.
00:13:57
Chris
So we wanted to get her phone number ported over to my account and add a line. You would think i would just go online. Nope. Because it's going from business to private. It's this whole thing. So we had to go to Verizon and they're like, we're like, cool. Can you help us? They're like, yeah, call this number. Like, no, we came here for you to help us. Like, yeah, you still got to call this number.
00:14:20
Chris
So my wife calls the number and we're sitting there and They're giving her this whole runaround. Oh, we've sent you a verification. oh we sent it to your husband so he can approve. i like, I haven't gotten it.
00:14:31
Chris
Well, we sent it to his Comcast email. Why would you do that? That's not the email he uses. And I even looked like on my account and says, you know, contact my Gmail account number and my cell phone number and all that. i'm like, all the stuff is right here. I don't know why they would ever contact him whatever.
00:14:50
Chris
So I go, we'll send a text. was like, never got a text and this and that she's, you hours into this. And while we're there, there's all kinds of various quote unquote humans coming into this place and loud and everything. There's this older white guy, overweight, standing there all sudden his phone rings and he's got baby got back as his ringtone and it is blaring. So that's like, what?
00:15:16
Chris
So. know, Sarah's getting frustrated and finally but she was like, here, talk to my husband. He's, you know, taking thing. So I talked to the guy and he's like, well, we have, i was like, no, you just push it through. Well, was like, put me onto your supervisor.
00:15:29
Chris
Click. He hung up. I was like, oh, reach. Go over to the person from Verizon. i tell them, well, here, call on our number. And we finally got through.
00:15:40
Chris
It was some BS about the. insurance or protection plan that was on the phone or something. I don't know. But three hours later, we finally got my wife a phone and got the hell out of there, but it was just, Oh God.
00:15:57
wtfgoogle
That's a, that's a fury.
00:15:58
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and we're like, Oh, so, you know, she's getting a new phone. So what kind of discounts do you have? And they're like, she didn't get a discount. We're adding a line.
00:16:09
Chris
and No, you're not really because where she was Verizon customer through her business, she's just transferring. So it doesn't matter. It's like you sons of bitches.
00:16:16
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:16:20
Chris
There was a point I was ready to just grab the table and throw it across the room. But of course me, you know, that's it.

Chris
And yeah, yeah, we went and I'd measured it and everything. And we get there, we looking around and we went to Home Depot and Lowe's and, you know, we're like, we're both getting a little overwhelmed. So we're like, we'll just go, we'll eat lunch and then we'll come back.
00:16:58
Chris
So we ate lunch and then we really got looking at things. We looked at some stuff on the computer and we realized what we had measured was like, perfect fit and they're actually a little bit wider than that so if we had gotten the size we were thinking of i would we would have had like cut into a wall so yeah now
00:17:15
wtfgoogle
See, you did the adult thing, you sat back and thought about it for a second, realize yeah and yeah, it made difference.
00:17:19

00:19:30
wtfgoogle
Well, the one company was like, we want it on concrete pad. I'm like, concrete pad? My shed that's in the backyard that's been there, I mean, it's technically the second shed there, but it's on the same foundation.
00:19:43
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:43
wtfgoogle
It's just on block.
00:19:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:45
wtfgoogle
It doesn't need to be on a concrete pad, I would imagine. And it's not going to have four bikes in it.
00:19:48
Chris
Yeah, I mean,
00:19:51
wtfgoogle
How much does that weigh?
00:19:51
Chris
my My shed is on um yeah salt treated 4x4s.
00:20:02
wtfgoogle
Sure.
00:20:02
Chris
yeah I didn't put concrete under it. I just put a flat. yeah whatever yeah That's a concrete pad.
00:20:08
wtfgoogle
I just need to be flat and level nutsync so and all I need.
00:20:10
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:14
Chris
Yeah.
00:20:15
wtfgoogle
I'm going to go to a different check company. Talk to today. Probably later today.
00:20:18
Chris
we could Talk to the people that put the foundation in at headquarters. I mean, they're that's level.
00:20:23
wtfgoogle
You know, I don't know that this is true, but this is what said. Someone said that you can pass your wallet underneath the wall. in the bathroom cell at the station.
00:20:33
Chris
A thin wallet. Yes.
00:20:38
wtfgoogle
That's a real problem.
00:20:39
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's cool if you want to pass notes.
00:20:44
wtfgoogle
Sure it's shorts real cool cool cool cool.
00:20:48
Chris
hmm yeah
00:20:49
wtfgoogle
That means the the support pillars are separating from the roof and the floor.
00:20:55
Chris
it's it's it's designed for that to flex no it's not no not at all yeah no you yeah yeah
00:20:57
wtfgoogle
I don't think that's true. I feel like I don't believe you. In fact, I believe it's the opposite.
00:21:10
wtfgoogle
we were talking about that at work. I said, that building is like might survive my career. I don't think it's going to survive some of the people that sit at that um were sitting at the table's career.
00:21:15
Chris
i
00:21:18
Chris
No, no. It's funny that station one is the best station.
00:21:26
wtfgoogle
the Yeah. Yeah. yeah I wish like ah as with all things government I wish they had had some forethought into things when they redid the station to redo it correctly you know
00:21:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:43
Chris
Well, ah yeah, well, it was run by volunteers at the time and They didn't think about the future.
00:21:52
wtfgoogle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:53
Chris
so
00:21:54
wtfgoogle
And it's it's funny, like fire stations everywhere are like the perfect example of poor thought processes of and planning, right? Like they're always in the wrong spot because if you build a station, you're you're really thinking about a station for like five to 10 years before you build it.
00:22:05
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:15
Chris
Right.
00:22:16
wtfgoogle
And you're thinking about it for 10 years before it actually gets built.
00:22:21
Chris
yeah yeah exactly
00:22:22
wtfgoogle
right like So Station 1 is built in a spot because that was the edge of the city at the time. And they never thought about what the city is going to look like 30 years from then.
Fire Station Logistics
00:22:32
wtfgoogle
you know
00:22:33

wtfgoogle
like They like have very of
00:22:43
Chris
come
00:22:44
wtfgoogle
strict rules of you build this amount of stuff, there has to be a new fire station you know within that time frame. you know and they have This is how many miles every fire station has to be.
00:22:58
wtfgoogle
we We did not do that in Salisbury.
00:23:01
Chris

00:23:33
wtfgoogle
and It's like we're talking about the next ambulance in the city. i was like It's got to be Station 1's first due, but boy, how do you pull that off? you know It's crazy.

00:26:23
wtfgoogle
the fuck does that mean?
00:26:23
Chris
I said, I'm sorry, what? They said, yeah, flick up. I'm like, again, i think you're trying to communicate with me, but I don't think we're on the same page. And the guy was like, yeah, he was like, I,
00:26:32
wtfgoogle
English, motherfucker. Do you speak it?
00:26:34
Chris
I want to take a picture with you. i was like, sure. Take a picture of the gear. I don't care. Whatever. That's fine. Flick up. And of course, you know, I text and my wife and kids and my youngest. Yeah, of course that needs a picture.
00:26:45
Chris

00:26:47
wtfgoogle
you
00:26:52
wtfgoogle
yeah
00:26:53
Chris
One kid asked if he could put the helmet on and crunk into somebody, which evidently that means like, plow into somebody with your helmet or your head.
00:27:05
wtfgoogle
a
00:27:07
Chris
okay. We're like, no, no, that's not what you do that with.
00:27:12
wtfgoogle
First, you ain't putting your my helmet on your lice ridden head ever.
00:27:17
Chris
Yeah. Oh, I got back Lysol, everything I owned.
00:27:22
wtfgoogle
Right.
00:27:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:26
wtfgoogle
No.
00:27:26
Chris
But yeah, it was, I mean, some of the kids were, you know, interacting, asking some decent questions, but yeah. 0.03%.
00:27:34
wtfgoogle
What do you think our recruitment from job fairs actually is? so
00:27:38
Chris
Yeah. don't know. Low. yeah. Yeah. Yep. Right.
00:27:41
wtfgoogle
Do you think that high?
00:27:44
Chris
yeah i don't know low
00:27:46
wtfgoogle
Because i course we went to the... We had a call at the big one they had at the Civic Center last week before.
00:27:53
Chris
oh yeah yeah
00:27:54
wtfgoogle
And i was just sitting there like... Of all these kids... that Look, these kids are going to have to have jobs at one point.
00:28:01
Chris
right
00:28:02
wtfgoogle
But of all these kids, how many actually go get a job at any of these places? Not just us.
00:28:08
Chris
yeah
00:28:09
wtfgoogle
But any of these places they interact with. One?
00:28:12
Chris
yeah yeah that's i should ask the lady who like coordinates it for wicomico to see if she has a way to track it or if she tracks it yeah it's funny across from us was salisbury university and it was they had their school of education and school of business these kids walk by and theyre like oh yeah su and they're like yeah we're with the school of business and they're like no thanks welcome
00:28:12
wtfgoogle
You know...
00:28:22
wtfgoogle
I mean, it's cool.
00:28:34
wtfgoogle
I
00:28:37
Chris
Well, yeah,
00:28:38
wtfgoogle
mean, it's cool, but the one of the Civic Center was for really young kids. like like for It makes more sense if they're like high school kids.
00:28:43
Chris
yeah it's middle school.
00:28:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:47
wtfgoogle
you know They're at least starting to think about things.
00:28:48
Chris
Yeah. But the problem is, but now with, I mean, when they're in middle school, they have to start, you know, pretty much plan what they're going to do in high school for like CTE and all. So they want them to think about that.
00:28:59
wtfgoogle
Sure.
00:29:00
Chris
So.
00:29:00
wtfgoogle
Yeah. I imagine, and this is just anecdotal evidence, but most people who go into the firefighter CTE program, they have a family member a firefighter.
00:29:12
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:13
wtfgoogle
You know, not everybody.
00:29:15
Chris
No, but yeah.
00:29:15
wtfgoogle
i can know I know of least one that didn't, but it's a good majority of them.
00:29:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:22
wtfgoogle
You already got those kids or not.
00:29:23
Chris
Right.
00:29:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:32
Chris
Well, yeah, let's say, right.
00:29:32
wtfgoogle
Well, on the top one.
00:29:34
Chris
Yeah, sure. Topic one. Uh-oh.
00:29:38
wtfgoogle
This is a tough topic.
00:29:40
Chris
There's A heavy sigh, folks.
00:29:42
wtfgoogle
A heavy side.
Disinterest in New Video Games
00:29:45
wtfgoogle
Are video games just not for us anymore?
00:29:48
Chris
Oh, gosh.
00:29:51
wtfgoogle
Or just...
00:29:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:53
wtfgoogle
i I've been in this like... four month like lull of just like not really having anything to play nothing not being excited about any games looking at new games that come out going yeah that just looks it just looks annoying like my neighbor my neighbor like sent me a message the other day he's like you should try this game it was on sale on this steam sale and you should try this game
00:30:06
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:30:20

00:30:27
Chris
ah
00:30:28
wtfgoogle
You shouldn't try this game.
00:30:31
wtfgoogle
It was a 10 second conversation of him saying, don't do this.
00:30:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:36
wtfgoogle
It's just every game that I think about playing, I'm like, it just feels like I'm not umm not interested in microtransaction bullshit games.
00:30:45
Chris
Hmm. Yeah.
00:30:47
wtfgoogle
you know I don't care about flossing or whatever the hell kids do and
00:30:49
Chris
Hmm.
00:30:52
wtfgoogle
Roblox and all that stuff.
00:30:53
Chris
Oh, that's like flossing. Yeah, you're supposed to do that at least once a day. Hmm.
00:30:58
wtfgoogle
I'm not interested in any game that's come out recently. And every time i get excited for a game, I end up being disappointed.
00:31:04
Chris
Hmm.
00:31:08
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, I mean. Dragon Age Veilguard was that for me recently.
00:31:13
wtfgoogle
Oh my god, and I just had a new DLC and I looked at some of the pictures I was like that looks awful.
00:31:18
Chris
yeah i i Like I said, i I gave it a few hours.
00:31:18
wtfgoogle
It looks awful.
00:31:22
Chris
just It was...
00:31:25
wtfgoogle
I'm not willing to even give bad games four hours anymore.
00:31:30
Chris
oh
00:31:31
wtfgoogle
Right? Like...
00:31:31
Chris
Well, I didn't pay for it, so that so I was like, okay.
00:31:33
wtfgoogle
Sure.
00:31:34
Chris
but But it's like you said, kind of. I got nothing else to play right now, so i was like, okay, I'll give it some time.
00:31:42
Chris
yeah i think what it is, Baldur's Gate 3 broke games for us.
00:31:47
wtfgoogle
That might be true. Yeah.
00:31:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:50
wtfgoogle
it It's funny because I i i had to format out my computer and start over again. And I was looking at my games library like, what am I going to reinstall? I'm like, I might as well just reinstall Baldur's Gate 3 and just play that.
00:32:02
Chris
Yeah. Well, because now there's new subclasses and all, too.
00:32:03
wtfgoogle
Because... Yeah, I know. That's all.
00:32:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:07
wtfgoogle
But it's just like, there's nothing else that I'm like even interested in.
00:32:14
Chris
Yeah, I mean, i hop on and play Call of Duty, but It's just mindless. I'm not like, know, going for anything.
00:32:23
wtfgoogle
Yeah, do you feel satisfied by that game experience anymore?
00:32:26
Chris
i I mean, I, yeah, I have fun, but it's not like the, it's not like the achievement of, you know, oh, you know, I've got to get from point A to B and I wonder what I'm going to find along the way.
00:32:28
wtfgoogle
It's fine.
00:32:31
wtfgoogle
What?
00:32:41
Chris
And by the time I get to B, I've got to be ready to attack what, you know, it's, hmm.
00:32:47
wtfgoogle
There's games that I've called out work because I was like, i can't not finish this part of the game I'm at.
00:32:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:54
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:54
wtfgoogle
right That's happened in the past.
00:32:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:56
wtfgoogle
I'm not saying what job it was at or you know you can figure it out because I've been at the same job for 20 plus years.
00:33:00
Chris
yeah
00:33:01
Chris
yeah
00:33:01
wtfgoogle
But there's the games where I've been so engaged that like every waking moment, I'm like, oh man, I got i just can't wait to get back to finish this and that game.
00:33:09
Chris
yeah
00:33:09
wtfgoogle
I haven't had that experience in...
00:33:13
wtfgoogle
I mean, I would say Baldur's Gate was probably the closest I've had that experience, but it's been a long time since I felt that way.
00:33:16
Chris
yeah
00:33:19
wtfgoogle
i haven't I didn't call out sick for Baldur's Gate throwing that out there. You know, statute limitations. um
00:33:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:28
wtfgoogle
you know As a man that could be my boss next week, I really don't need you to hear that you know I'm going to work for video games, but...
00:33:32
Chris

00:33:49
wtfgoogle
Every single Halo...
00:33:50

00:34:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:34:37
wtfgoogle
And maybe it's because I'm old. Maybe it's because they don't build games the way I enjoy them anymore. I don't know.
00:34:43
Chris
Yeah.
00:34:43
wtfgoogle
And I think it might just be because um they don't build games for us anymore.
00:34:47
Chris
Yeah, I mean, I think what it is is the vast amount of games are not for us.
00:34:55
wtfgoogle
Sure.
00:34:55
Chris
And then there's those few games in between that are for, you know, our age and stuff, but it's there. Yeah. The fewer and far between because they know that, you it's, it's, I would think it's like, they've got their hooks in us already. They know that we'll play games, but they're trying to hook younger and different audiences. So it's a much more diverse portfolio of games than we're used to. And it's also, you think about it,
00:35:23
Chris
Like when we were teenagers, there were what, five big game releases through the year?
00:35:29
wtfgoogle
Oh, yeah, sure.
00:35:30
Chris
And now there's probably five every two weeks, every month.
00:35:35
wtfgoogle
But you used to, and this is just my, maybe my view of it.
00:35:35
Chris
So...
00:35:42
wtfgoogle
There was not a such thing as a AAA title that people were like, meh about.
00:35:46
Chris
Right.
00:35:47
wtfgoogle
And I would say now most AAA titles that come out, people are like, meh
00:35:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:51
wtfgoogle
The only time you ever hear excitement about a game is a game that's outside of the triple that, you know, gets its hooks into people like Alder's Gate.
00:36:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:01
wtfgoogle
You know, they just, you just don't hear the excitement over the new Assassin's Creed.
00:36:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:08
wtfgoogle
You're like, yeah, it's Assassin's. Even people who love Assassin's Creed seem to say, it's Assassin's Creed, you know, and that,
00:36:12
Chris
Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Because that's a new one. Because yeah you would think, oh, man, it's in Japan and this and that. and But it's like, yeah, but I don't know.
00:36:26
wtfgoogle
I don't have an answer for what the games industry needs to do, but I do know that like,
00:36:34
wtfgoogle
this important our generation is the biggest generation of gamers right now, right? Like we're finally at the point in our generation where we we've played games our entire lives and we have money to spend on games and they're just like, no games do you want to spend money on.
00:36:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:44
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:47
Chris
Right.
00:36:49
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:50
wtfgoogle
You know, I don't think us, you and i are are unique in that we're 45-year-old men who still play video games.
00:37:00
Chris
No, we're not.
00:37:00
wtfgoogle
And I think there's many of us like that. And I just don't think you they think we matter.
00:37:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:09
wtfgoogle
Our generation has kind of gotten the shaft in pretty much ah every way, shape, or form.
00:37:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:12
Chris
Yeah. No. Yeah.
00:37:15
wtfgoogle
You know, we had to scrap our way... When we were kids, they didn't build video games for us because they were building Nintendo games for our parents.
00:37:23
Chris
yeah
00:37:24
wtfgoogle
Like Mario wasn't really meant for us.
00:37:26
Chris
no
00:37:27
wtfgoogle
It was meant for our parents.
00:37:29
Chris
yeah
00:37:30
wtfgoogle
We had that sweet, sweet early 2000s, like Halo and Assassin's Creed and you know all those big titles that came i mean, my friend was so in love with um Mass Effect.
00:37:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:45
wtfgoogle
that I don't think anything broke his heart more than Mass Effect 3.
00:37:48
Chris
Really?
00:37:49
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:37:50
Chris
yeah I mean, yeah, was.
00:37:53
wtfgoogle
People loved, so you know, those titles, like, they people identified with them, right?
00:37:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:01
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:01
wtfgoogle
Do you identify with any AAA titles now?
00:38:05
Chris
Hmm.
00:38:05
wtfgoogle
Like, you play Call Duty, but do you, like,
00:38:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:08
wtfgoogle
wear a Call of Duty pin at work?
00:38:10
Chris
No, I don't.
00:38:10
wtfgoogle
You know, I wore a Halo pin on my, I'm at work for years.
00:38:11
Chris
um Yeah.
00:38:14
wtfgoogle
You know, until I lost it.
00:38:14
Chris
i mean, I've got a Destiny sticker on my Jeep.
00:38:18
wtfgoogle
Right.
00:38:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:21
wtfgoogle
And even Destiny, you don't play Destiny anymore.
00:38:24
Chris
No.
00:38:24
wtfgoogle
You know. And Bungie's not even putting...
00:38:26
Chris
I've thought about booting it back up and I was like, no.
00:38:28
wtfgoogle
Yeah, I try, I...
00:38:29
Chris
Well, part of it is the grind, but yeah it's it's also, i mean, I got to that point in it where I was like, this is
00:38:31
wtfgoogle
Yeah, it's too to subscribe.
00:38:37
Chris
To me, this is where the story wrapped up.
00:38:39
wtfgoogle
Sure.
00:38:40
Chris
Great.
00:38:41
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:38:44
Chris
Yeah, I.
00:38:49
Chris
And I mean, I feel bad for whoever. Tries to make Baldur's Gate four.
00:38:55
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:38:58
wtfgoogle
cause it's going to happen, right?
00:38:59
Chris
But oh, yeah, yeah, you know, Hasbro is like, oh, yeah, look at this money.
00:38:59
wtfgoogle
Like, um.
00:39:04
Chris
We had definitely have an opportunity.
00:39:04
wtfgoogle
Right. Right. Some studio is going to say, oh, we can repeat the magic. And you're not going to repeat the magic.
00:39:09
Chris
No, no you're not.
00:39:13
wtfgoogle
And you can't.
00:39:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:17
wtfgoogle
And that's kind of also the problem, I think, is it it's just a repeat the magic. It's always repeat the magic instead of create new magic.
00:39:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:26
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:26
wtfgoogle
but Even Baldur's Gate, like, right, we say how great it was. But it wasn't new. It wasn't a new IP.
00:39:31
Chris
No. No.
00:39:33
wtfgoogle
right It wasn't was using existing game systems, existing characters. a lot of those things were like, got us on the hooks, but there's not been anything.
00:39:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:42
Chris
Right.
00:39:45
wtfgoogle
There's a lot of indie games that are new, but they don't really really draw you in, i don't I don't feel like right now.
00:39:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:51
Chris
Yeah. No, no, they don't.
00:39:54
wtfgoogle
you know, this is my my friend was talking about Fallout 76. He's like, did you ever play Fallout 76? And I said, yeah, I played, i don't know, couple hours. I gave it some time. I tried.
00:40:06
wtfgoogle
and just wasn't excited about it.
00:40:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:40:08
wtfgoogle
And he's like, wow, they just released ghouls.
00:40:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:40:09
wtfgoogle
And then he texted me last night. like, you have to play to level 50 before you can be a ghoul character. He's like, I'm not going to invest that much time.
00:40:16
Chris
What? Yeah.
00:40:18
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yes,
00:40:20
wtfgoogle
like yeah I get it.
00:40:23
Chris
we
00:40:25
wtfgoogle
And that's ah that's ah i think that's the real problem for us as adults is we have to really weigh time spent differently.
00:40:33
Chris
Yeah. yes we do
00:40:35
wtfgoogle
Like I've only got X amount of time per week. you know I got to take my arthritis pills three times a day.
00:40:38
Chris
yeah
00:40:45
wtfgoogle
can't ah can't waste time on that. It's like how I feel about TV shows. so if If I'm not interested in a TV show in the first hour, I'm not watching a TV show.
00:40:50
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:40:55
wtfgoogle
Because might not have time. Yeah.
00:40:56
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. i'd say that yeah the yeah It's the same as games. You were saying earlier, yeah we'll give it a couple hours to know get and get... No, it's not. My time is precious. And if you're not you clicking with me early on, then...
00:41:15
wtfgoogle
Yeah, it's not like i want I don't want to do grindy games.
00:41:16
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:18
wtfgoogle
It's just that I don't want to do non-rewarding games for hours. Like, my neighbor is a psychopath, in my mind. Because he will play the same... He loves, like, the Diablo...
00:41:30
wtfgoogle
What do you call that style game?
00:41:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:32
wtfgoogle
He likes, like, Grim Dawn and all those things. and He'll play those games for hours and hours hours and hours, and he'll redo those characters hours and hours and hours and hours and hours.
00:41:33
Chris
Okay.
00:41:39
wtfgoogle
So just...
00:41:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:40
wtfgoogle
And that's fine for him?
00:41:43
Chris
Right.
00:41:43
wtfgoogle
I'm not in for that.
00:41:44
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:45
wtfgoogle
Like I want to have a, I want to, I'm okay with having a eight hour experience and being done with it.
00:41:49
Chris
Right. Yeah.
00:41:51
wtfgoogle
and
00:41:52
Chris
Or, I mean, yeah, sure, there's that longer experience, but
00:41:53
wtfgoogle
Right. Like,
00:41:56
Chris
i yeah I mean, i i play most of the Soulsborne type games and stuff like that. And, you know, like everybody's like, oh, yeah, you know, once you get like new game plus plus and, you know, three times, I'm like, I'm usually I play through it once. I i get what I need out of it. And yeah, I don't like replaying the same thing over and over again a lot.
00:42:15
wtfgoogle
Even Baldur's Gate, I've had problems getting back into a second game.
00:42:19
Chris
Yes.
00:42:20
wtfgoogle
Because I'm just like, I've done this already.
00:42:20
Chris
Oh, yes. Yeah.
00:42:22
wtfgoogle
I really enjoyed...
00:42:22
Chris
And the first the first act is so big.
00:42:26
wtfgoogle
Yeah. But I really enjoyed my first experience. I don't want to...
00:42:28
Chris
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:42:30
wtfgoogle
I almost don't want to repeat it because I'm like, I did this.
00:42:34
Chris
Exactly.
00:42:34
wtfgoogle
right like I don't want to be like, well, I know these decisions.
00:42:35
Chris
Yeah. Hmm.
00:42:37
wtfgoogle
I'm going to make this difference. decision i i I enjoyed the first time.
00:42:39
Chris
Right. Hmm.
00:42:41
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:42:41
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is. That's definitely one of those games that I, if I could blank that out of my memory and replay it. Sure.
00:42:50
wtfgoogle
Sure, yeah.
00:42:51
Chris
But yeah.
00:42:56
Chris
Yeah. It's, um I mean, you see memes about it, but it's yeah when you're young, you've got the free time, but not the money. And then when you're older, you've got the money, but not the free time and probably as much drive because yet there are other things.
00:43:10
wtfgoogle
Yeah. Yeah. And youre you always... think back of experiences, right? You're always like, oh, I enjoyed this experience.
00:43:19
Chris
Yeah.
00:43:20
wtfgoogle
Like I enjoyed Battlefield 3.
00:43:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:43:22
wtfgoogle
And I think about like Battlefield 3 one of my favorite games that ever came out. But i was also because I was playing with a group of friends all the time.

00:43:47
Chris

00:45:18

00:45:29
wtfgoogle
Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's what Game Pass and PlayStation Plus have, you know, almost basically ruined us.
00:45:31

00:47:15
wtfgoogle

00:47:16
wtfgoogle
So, picked her up at the airport yesterday.
00:47:19
Chris
Yep.
00:47:20
wtfgoogle
It's a 30-minute drive. I don't even know if you've seen my new car, but I drive a new Crosstrek. It's a smaller hatchback.
00:47:27
Chris
OK.
00:47:28
wtfgoogle
you know It's a four-door hatchback.
00:47:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:30
wtfgoogle
It's a smaller car. It's not like we're 38 miles away from each other.
00:47:34
Chris
Right.
00:47:34
wtfgoogle
She's sitting in the back seat. And it's a 30-minute ride from the airport to the restaurant we were going to go for for dinner.
00:47:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:42
wtfgoogle
Maybe, maybe pushing it 30 minutes.
00:47:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:45
wtfgoogle
Within... three minutes of her being in the back of my car. She's got her phone in her hand, volume up, watching videos.
00:47:54
Chris
What?
00:47:54
wtfgoogle
I'm like, are you a teenager? Put your phone away. We can have conversations. I get this at the firehouse.
00:47:59
Chris
Oh my.
00:48:00
wtfgoogle
I don't need to get this here in my own life.
00:48:01
Chris
Right. Yeah. Yeah. And that's, know, people are like, oh, you know, it's the the kids with their, know, super short attention spans. No, it's the adults.
00:48:11
wtfgoogle
Oh God, no. It's definitely the adults.
00:48:13
Chris
which It's like every time I pull up to a stoplight or something and I look over and there's some older, you know, senior citizen or middle aged person and they're at a stoplight looking at their phone. It's like, no, you should know better than this.
00:48:27
Chris
If I had my harpoon gun, you would be taken down right now.
00:48:30
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:48:32
Chris
yeah And kind of a side tangent off to that. On the flight home, the gentleman next to me was a psychopath. Had his phone, you know, once we got up and you could you know scan the QR code and you watch a free movie or whatever.
00:48:47
Chris
Was watching it without headphones and had it like up and down. He didn't turn it horizontally.
00:48:55
wtfgoogle
Oh, that person is a serial killer.
00:48:56
Chris
So he was watching this tiny, easily.
00:48:58
wtfgoogle
You probably should have reported him.
00:49:00
Chris
Easily. I was like, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:49:05
wtfgoogle
there There's this other thing. that I can't remember what they call it, but like there's these people that purposely get on flights and then just stare. they don't like They don't read. They don't watch movies.
00:49:15
wtfgoogle
They just stare.
00:49:15
Chris
What?
00:49:16
wtfgoogle
can't remember what they call it. They have this thing that they do, and it's like report these people.
00:49:20
Chris
Are they cyborgs?
00:49:22
wtfgoogle
report these people
00:49:23
Chris
Yeah, that's, I may see. Yeah, that's, that's gotta be an Android or something. They're trying to slip through to see how it works.
00:49:28
wtfgoogle
but yeah
00:49:31
Chris
golly day that's it yeah you gotta like trip and fall in front of them to see if they instinctively try to assist you yeah i
00:49:40
wtfgoogle
The turtle is on its back, what do you do? The Blade Runner test. ah Well, all the better news, topic two, maybe more enlightening, happy times.
Superpower Downsides
00:49:52
Chris

00:49:59
wtfgoogle
oh
00:50:01
Chris
Well, yeah, so we've done the would you rathers before, and I tried to find one that was would you rather with ah like superpowers and stuff. But it's more or less, I found one that's talking about some of the pitfalls of it.
00:50:16
Chris
So like, yeah, I guess that's ah the pitfalls with superpowers. So imagine you had super strength, but you couldn't control it.
00:50:27
wtfgoogle
Yeah, that'd be terrible. like You couldn't wipe your own ass.
00:50:31
Chris
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:50:32
wtfgoogle
Right? Yeah, it's like it's that's the Midas touch rule, right? Like, you can turn everything to gold, but then you turn everything to gold. You're super strong, you break everything.
00:50:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:42
wtfgoogle
Yeah, that's a real...
00:50:43
Chris
I mean, yeah, just like brushing your teeth.
00:50:47
wtfgoogle
Ooh!
00:50:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:48
wtfgoogle
But are your teeth super strong? Is it the toothbrush that breaks?
00:50:53
Chris
Yeah, it would be.
00:50:53
wtfgoogle
The frustration would be that every time you put the toothbrush in your hand, you would crush it.
00:50:57
Chris
Right.
00:50:57
wtfgoogle
And then when you try to brush your teeth, that it would just break off of your toothbrush, like just off the teeth. That'd be really frustrating.
00:51:04
Chris
Yeah, I mean, you you just have to, like, gently brush it. Because that's the thing. You're super strong. You're not invulnerable. So you could, yeah, blow out your gums just brushing your teeth.
00:51:17
Chris
Yeah.
00:51:17
wtfgoogle
That'd be terrible.
00:51:19
Chris
yeah Yeah, it says, yeah, they compare it to being a diamond in a papier-mâché world. Yeah.
00:51:26
wtfgoogle
Yeah. Yeah, like eating.
00:51:28
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:51:28
wtfgoogle
Think about eating. Everything you try to touch would like explode in your hands because you're so strong. That'd be bad.
00:51:37
Chris
Yeah.
00:51:40
wtfgoogle
That'd be fresh.
00:51:40
Chris
Yeah. um Yeah. Invulnerability. Yeah, you've got invulnerability, but if you're truly invulnerable, you're going to live forever.
00:51:54
wtfgoogle
I'm cool that.
00:51:56
Chris
But would you, know, if you're like your skin is tough enough to make you invulnerable and everything, you can't have nerve endings in it. So now you're not going to feel anything.
00:52:06
wtfgoogle
Hmm.
00:52:07
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:52:08
wtfgoogle
Hmm.
00:52:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:10
wtfgoogle
That's different.
00:52:12
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. So you live forever pretty much as a robot.
00:52:18
wtfgoogle
Yeah, but still get time to think. Think all the video games you get to play. All the AAA titles that you're really disappointed in.
00:52:26
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:28
wtfgoogle
Revolveability is still pretty cool.
00:52:31
Chris
But if. But if you're invulnerable. Could you can't cut your hair?
00:52:39
wtfgoogle
Oh, that would drive me nuts because can't have long hair.
00:52:40
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:44
Chris
Yeah, that's, it yeah I mean, you're going to yeah end your toenails and fingernails.
00:52:49
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:52:50
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:52:52
wtfgoogle
Yeah. that Yeah. OK. All right. Now oh you're getting me on it.
00:52:54
Chris
yeah yeah see
00:52:56
wtfgoogle
Mm-hmm.
00:52:57
Chris
yeah yeah Yeah. You're invulnerable living forever, but you're this hairy, long nailed creature.
00:53:01
wtfgoogle
Mm-hmm.
00:53:04
wtfgoogle
No, that'd be problem.
00:53:05
Chris
Yeah. ah Super intelligence. you inevitably become really arrogant and really depressed because nobody you can relate to talk to anything.
00:53:18
wtfgoogle
Oh, I always thought super intelligence would just drive you actually criminally insane. Right?
00:53:23
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:53:24
wtfgoogle
Like you would just, because everything would you would know the better answer of, it would just it would literally drive you insane. Yeah. I think all, what's that, Ozymandias and Watchmen?
00:53:37
Chris
Yeah.
00:53:38
wtfgoogle
That's the perfect example. You would become a ah ah sociopath.
00:53:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:53:42
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:53:42
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. It's yeah. yeah Yeah. Teleportation or phasing. It's a death trap.
00:53:53
wtfgoogle
Yeah, eventually you're going to phase into the wrong thing.
00:53:55
Chris
Yep.
00:53:56
wtfgoogle
Yeah, Kitty Pryde is like the worst superhero. um
00:53:59
Chris
Oh, my gosh.
00:53:59
wtfgoogle
Like, because...
00:54:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:03
wtfgoogle
Or, or I guess, Nightcrawler too. Like, eventually you're going to go into the wrong thing and not be able get out.
00:54:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:10
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:11
wtfgoogle
Right. yeah
00:54:11
Chris
Or like you're like, like Kitty Pryde halfway through and you sneeze or something.
00:54:15
wtfgoogle
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:54:16
Chris
And then you're, yeah, you're part of the wall. Yeah.
00:54:20
wtfgoogle
Well, and, know, there's the whole... You could phase yourself off the planet accidentally.
00:54:25
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:27
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:54:27
Chris
Yeah. Cause I mean, yeah, the earth is rotating and revolving. So if you're not perfectly calculating that you could, yeah, end up in the vacuum of space.
00:54:38
wtfgoogle
Yeah, it's a terrible one.
00:54:38
Chris
Yeah. yeah Um, energy beams, like from your eyes, hands, whatever. Again, if you don't have perfect control, that's, yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it's not just going to stop.
00:54:51
wtfgoogle
Yeah, Cyclops is terrible, right? He's killing everybody.
00:54:54
Chris
It's going to keep going.
00:54:54
wtfgoogle
Right. ah You wanted to scratch your eyes and now like a school full children are dead.
00:54:57
Chris
Hmm.
00:54:58
wtfgoogle
Good job.
00:54:59
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:01
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:55:02
Chris
yeah And if it's one of those that you can control when it's on or off, I mean, again you know, you sneeze or, you know somebody startles you and laser beams come out of your eyes.
00:55:12
wtfgoogle
Mm-hmm.
00:55:13
Chris
That's, that's, that's bad times, which side tangent to that yesterday I was in the grocery store with my wife.
00:55:15
wtfgoogle
At times. Yeah.
00:55:19
wtfgoogle
And you killed somebody with your laser eyes?
00:55:21
Chris
No, but somebody like walked right beside me. I didn't see them there. And I squealed like a small child and my wife burst out laughing, but the psychopath never responded to my reaction at all.
00:55:33
wtfgoogle
Oh, boy.
00:55:35
Chris
Yeah. Yep.
00:55:38
wtfgoogle
That's crazy.
00:55:38
Chris
Um, We've talked about this one before. Invisibility inevitably turns you into a bad person.
00:55:44
wtfgoogle
It's so to past him.
00:55:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:48
wtfgoogle
There's no way to hold the moral high ground forever.
00:55:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:51
wtfgoogle
Yeah. yeah
00:55:53
Chris
yep Yeah.
00:55:55
wtfgoogle
It's like being Jedi. There's no way that you're going maintain perfect morality when you have that kind of power.
00:56:04
Chris
Right. Yeah. It's yeah. um Flying. Flying sounds cool, but your body still feels cold. You still feel pressure differences. You still need to breathe.
00:56:18
wtfgoogle
I had to think about the cold.
00:56:19
Chris
Yeah. Yep. And just, i mean, you know.
00:56:22
wtfgoogle
And you're going to run into a helicopter.
00:56:24
Chris
Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
00:56:26
wtfgoogle
you know and now and and drones and you know all kinds of no
00:56:26
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Because you don't have a transponder on you.
00:56:31
Chris
Yeah. We'll just think about it. You know, we're about to hit that time of year where. There's bugs and gnats and everything. Just flying or driving down the road. Your windshield's covered.
00:56:40
wtfgoogle
yay you're always gonna have to have like a full face helmet on at all times yeah fly like three feet off the ground
00:56:44
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. um
00:56:51
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And at a low speed.
00:56:56
wtfgoogle
right could i could I'm basically walking, but I'm ah two feet off the ground.
00:56:57
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:02
wtfgoogle
oh That's a great power.
00:57:04
Chris
yeah Yeah, ah super speed. you know you've Again, if you move too fast, it's just the friction of the air against your body. And then the metabolism your body would need to keep that up.
00:57:20
Chris
mean, you're just constantly eating.
00:57:22
wtfgoogle
Yeah, Quicksilver is the best of that. he would He's just basically eating junk food all the time.
00:57:27
Chris
Yeah. But um it's like the boys. If you're not watching where you're going, you can destroy somebody like that.
00:57:34
wtfgoogle
Oh, yeah. but percent 100%. Yeah.
00:57:36
Chris
yeah
00:57:38
wtfgoogle
That's why I always thought Quicksilver was better than the Flash, because the Flash seemingly has no idea what's going on around him.
00:57:47
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:57:48
wtfgoogle
Whereas Quicksilver, he's moving so fast that like time slows down for him.
00:57:54
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:55
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:57:58
Chris
um Shape shifting. Sounds cool. But at some point, you probably lose who you are.
00:58:05
wtfgoogle
because you're going to find something. You're just going like, I'm a blob because it's just easy.
00:58:11
Chris
Yeah, yeah. Or, you know, I've been, you know, shape should be ah whatever it is, you're like, okay, well, was cool to be this. It's it's like, wait second. Who was I originally?
00:58:20
wtfgoogle
Yeah, yeah, it's fair.
00:58:21
Chris
Yeah. Yep. And then ah finally, telepathy.
00:58:26
wtfgoogle
Oh, it'd be terrible.
00:58:26
Chris
It's like, it's like invisibility.
00:58:28
wtfgoogle
Terrible.
00:58:29
Chris
it's It's so easy to misuse it.
00:58:32
wtfgoogle
Not only that, but you really don't want to know people's inner thoughts.
00:58:32
Chris
And, oh my God, no.
00:58:36
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:58:36
Chris
Yeah. And that's the other thing. If it's not gated down, yeah If it's just like constantly you know open.
00:58:39
wtfgoogle
Yeah. Oh, you'd be a psychopath. You would be a psychopath.
00:58:43
Chris
um my yeah you I don't know if you'd be a psychopath.
00:58:44
wtfgoogle
Because everywhere you went,
00:58:46
Chris
I think you would just curl up in a ball.
00:58:48
wtfgoogle
don't know. i think you
00:58:49
Chris
Just hearing everybody's thoughts around you.
00:58:50
wtfgoogle
I think you'd end up killing people. Yeah, because every time you you just you would go crazy.
00:58:56
Chris
Yeah. yeah Or like you said. yeah you would If everybody has you know those dark urges. the dark urges or you know the impulse thoughts or whatever.
00:59:10
Chris
You hear that in somebody's mind out of context or like, well, I got to kill this person before they do something awful.
00:59:15
wtfgoogle
But yeah.
00:59:16
Chris
And then, yeah, yeah. Then you're playing judge, jury and executioner. And it's just because grandma Schmerkin's had a bad day and she's thinking about, yeah, I wish that.
00:59:21
wtfgoogle
I know you would you would be a psychopath.
00:59:27
wtfgoogle
Yeah, if you listen to my inner thoughts while I'm driving, you would think I'm, like, committing genocide.
00:59:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:59:30
Chris
Oh, oh my gosh. Yeah. you Yeah. You need to put me down if you hear that.
00:59:34
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:59:35
Chris
And it's not sometimes not just my thoughts.
00:59:35
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
00:59:38
wtfgoogle
It's fair. My car is a safe space for my anger.
00:59:41
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which, oh my God, side tangent, the guy driving us in Seattle. hu Oh, not a good driver.
00:59:51
wtfgoogle
Oh, that sucks.
00:59:53
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Like we're on our way to the airport Thursday morning. And he joked that, you know people giving a hard time before. He's like, see, know, we made it the whole trip, you know, without an issue. And I'm in the backseat. I'm like, we're not there yet.
01:00:08
wtfgoogle
Yeah.
01:00:09
Chris
As he goes over the rumble strips and swerves away from somebody beeping at him.
01:00:14
wtfgoogle
Oh my god.
01:00:15
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. So. Yeah, i've figured that, you the superpower pitfalls would be fun little run through.
01:00:22
wtfgoogle
That's a nice little lighthearted way to end this after we're sad discussion of about video games.
01:00:27
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. yeah Well, hopefully there's some games on the horizon we haven't really heard about that'll come out.
01:00:32
wtfgoogle
There's always going to be new experiences around the corner.
01:00:33
Chris
and
01:00:35
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:35
wtfgoogle
Right?
01:00:36
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. And who knows? It could be Something that's in the AAA market or something that you just haven't really heard about that'll tickle of the fancy and get us back into it hardcore.
