Episode 169: The Return Update

[00:00:23] Hello, hello! Welcome to A Novel Console, your podcast. Um... Podcast.

[00:00:30] Yeah. Weekly, no mo. No. By yearly. Yeah. No. Quarter yearly. Wait. Last real one.

[00:00:41] Was in May, right? Yes. And it's December 15th.

[00:00:49] So much for, we'll be back in a couple of weeks. To be fair, a whole hell of a lot has transpired since May. What was the date on that? On what? The last real episode that you and I did, not the last episode that you put out that was recorded. At the beginning of the year? Yeah. Before our New York trip? Yeah. Wow. I still got like two of those left that I haven't uploaded. Quite literally, the very beautiful...

[00:01:18] At the beginning of the year? Yeah. Oh, look at that. It even signed me out of Buzzsprout.

[00:01:23] Way to go. Uh... Loading Memories with Will was the last one I uploaded. May 13th, 2024. Wow. So, seven months almost to the day. Look at the downloads on that. What are they? How many? I can't see that. A lot. 91? I can't read. That's too far. It's a lot. I'm blind. I need glasses. Yeah, we do. Um... This is the first time we're recording.

[00:01:47] We're recording on our new... New office setup. Yeah. So, um... It's kind of weird. Yeah, I just had to move this arm because I kind of had it hidden back there and I thought that it would go... It would work, but it would like cross over the entire thing so it would be super uncomfortable. Why the fuck are there trash bags all over the floor?

[00:02:07] You know, that's what I wonder when I'm recording your little consoles and stuff videos for you. Like, why the fuck does he have so much shit on the floor? There's just shit everywhere.

[00:02:17] Yeah. I forget to use the bathroom sometimes.

[00:02:20] Oh my God.

[00:02:22] Not even Luna shits on the floor.

[00:02:25] I do.

[00:02:25] Uh-huh.

[00:02:26] Just pop his quad.

[00:02:27] Uh-huh.

[00:02:27] Practicing for when Jeff Bezos dies and I take a dookie on his grave.

[00:02:30] Mm-hmm.

[00:02:31] Okay, so this is the second time that we've done this little bit because your microphone went out.

[00:02:36] Yep.

[00:02:36] But you did say, um, are we going to make promises to come back?

[00:02:40] I was thinking maybe we could slowly commit to one a month and then maybe we could work our way up to bi-weekly and maybe at some point in the distant future we would get back to weekly.

[00:02:53] Maybe.

[00:02:55] I'm fine with that.

[00:02:56] Once a month is...

[00:02:56] The problem is that one a month the episodes are going to be like four hours long.

[00:03:01] Well, but I mean just to, you know, get our feet wet again.

[00:03:04] Okay.

[00:03:05] Because...

[00:03:05] My feet are pretty dry.

[00:03:07] Oh my God.

[00:03:08] Even though I sat here for...

[00:03:10] Almost eight hours last night.

[00:03:12] Yeah, my feet are drier.

[00:03:14] Recording...

[00:03:15] You have at least done this a couple times.

[00:03:16] The anti-game of the year awards.

[00:03:18] Over the last seven months.

[00:03:20] Yeah.

[00:03:20] I have not done shit.

[00:03:22] Yeah, that's true.

[00:03:24] Nothing.

[00:03:24] Let me see.

[00:03:25] We have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 things.

[00:03:34] This is just going to be a catching up episode.

[00:03:36] To talk about.

[00:03:37] This is not a real episode.

[00:03:38] I hope nobody's expecting a review of anything other than hot sauces that have been living on our kitchen rack pantry thing for how many months?

[00:03:49] I'm so sorry, Burger Champ.

[00:03:51] I'm so sorry.

[00:03:53] So I think one of the biggest things that we need to start with is that we're now part of a podcast network.

[00:03:59] How?

[00:04:00] We are in a podcast.

[00:04:02] Exactly.

[00:04:06] Listeners have heard him before.

[00:04:07] Aaron from Super Pod Saga reached out.

[00:04:09] He's like, hey, I'm starting a podcast network.

[00:04:11] Do you want to be part of it?

[00:04:12] I'm like, cool, but we haven't done an episode.

[00:04:14] It's like, it doesn't matter.

[00:04:15] Let's get you on.

[00:04:16] So now we're part of the Super Pod Network where you can find a bunch of awesome shows like Gaming and Collecting, 3DO Experience, of course, the Super Pod Saga, Super Ghost Radio, Jameson's Bar Silence, which is a great music podcast and a whole bunch more.

[00:04:34] We will live on forever no matter what.

[00:04:36] Yes.

[00:04:36] So go to superpodnetwork.com and you can find everything there.

[00:04:41] I also wrote a blog about Power Rangers not too long ago.

[00:04:43] Oh, yeah, you did.

[00:04:44] Yeah, it was super fun.

[00:04:45] Didn't I proofread it for you?

[00:04:46] You did not.

[00:04:47] Oh, I thought I did.

[00:04:48] No.

[00:04:49] Oh.

[00:04:49] You read it after I posted it.

[00:04:51] I did, I did.

[00:04:52] Well, I didn't post it.

[00:04:52] Aaron posted it.

[00:04:53] Right, you sent it to me.

[00:04:54] Yeah.

[00:04:55] After it was up.

[00:04:57] You did a decent job.

[00:04:59] I know, I'm really good at writing.

[00:05:01] Yeah.

[00:05:02] I'm amazing at writing.

[00:05:05] You're not bad.

[00:05:06] I'm very good at writing.

[00:05:07] You put your feeling into it.

[00:05:08] You get a little carried away.

[00:05:10] I, that's the point.

[00:05:11] Get carried away.

[00:05:12] Make people love it.

[00:05:13] That's true.

[00:05:14] Okay.

[00:05:15] So that is the superpod network part of it.

[00:05:17] Uh, what do you want to touch on next?

[00:05:19] You have the list.

[00:05:20] Oh, geez.

[00:05:20] We have a long list.

[00:05:22] Um.

[00:05:23] Do you want to do the hot sauces first or leave them for last?

[00:05:26] I feel like we should kind of try to go in chronological order here.

[00:05:30] Okay.

[00:05:30] So, a month after we last released our episode, you quit your job.

[00:05:38] No, I quit my job in May.

[00:05:40] No, you quit your job in June.

[00:05:42] No.

[00:05:42] No, you quit it in June.

[00:05:43] No.

[00:05:44] Yes.

[00:05:45] No.

[00:05:45] Yes.

[00:05:46] Did I?

[00:05:46] Yes.

[00:05:47] You quit it in like, it was like June 18th.

[00:05:50] No.

[00:05:51] No, because you went to Puerto Rico.

[00:05:53] Right.

[00:05:54] You quit your job like five days after our last episode aired.

[00:05:58] And then you went to Puerto Rico without me.

[00:06:01] I was stranded here for days and days and days.

[00:06:05] And then you turned right around and the two of us went back to Puerto Rico.

[00:06:10] Hmm.

[00:06:11] Yeah.

[00:06:12] Well, but first we did a game convention.

[00:06:15] Yeah.

[00:06:15] Southeast Game Exchange.

[00:06:16] Yeah.

[00:06:16] Back in July during my birthday weekend, July 4th weekend.

[00:06:21] Yeah.

[00:06:21] That was a lot of fun.

[00:06:22] Yeah.

[00:06:23] I sold a bunch of shit, met a bunch of awesome people, even met Phoenix Resale.

[00:06:29] That was really cool.

[00:06:30] He bought a Game Boy from me.

[00:06:32] I told him that it was his fault that I quit my job.

[00:06:35] I could have punched him, except that you did really well that weekend.

[00:06:39] And I was very impressed.

[00:06:40] And it was very cool being able to watch you like do your thing and make deals and like

[00:06:46] see how knowledgeable you are.

[00:06:48] I mean, I knew obviously, but it's fun to see you in action.

[00:06:51] And except for when like you wanted to go to the bathroom and people asked me questions.

[00:06:55] I was like, I don't fucking know.

[00:06:58] How much is Princess Peach that got stolen?

[00:07:01] I don't know.

[00:07:02] Somebody stole a game.

[00:07:03] We don't really know if it was malicious or not.

[00:07:06] I think it was somewhat unintentional, but maybe partway intentional.

[00:07:09] They grabbed it and paid the wrong dude for it.

[00:07:11] Yeah.

[00:07:11] Anyway, it was fun.

[00:07:13] It was a good, it was a really good first event, baby's first event, fresh out the womb.

[00:07:21] Did really, really well.

[00:07:22] It proved that he can rock with the big fishes in the pond.

[00:07:26] With huge fishes.

[00:07:26] Yeah.

[00:07:27] Yeah.

[00:07:27] That was crazy.

[00:07:29] It was very impressive.

[00:07:31] Yeah.

[00:07:31] I hope we get to go back.

[00:07:32] I don't know that we're going to get to go back this year, but you need to build up

[00:07:36] some massive inventory.

[00:07:37] Yeah.

[00:07:38] I'm planning on it.

[00:07:39] That's, that's the, that's the goal to get a bunch of inventory.

[00:07:45] Right now I am kind of just looking for Nintendo stuff and new PlayStation stuff.

[00:07:53] So PS4, PS5, uh, and anything Nintendo, except for maybe, uh, Wii U, cause Wii U doesn't really

[00:08:00] do well.

[00:08:01] But, um.

[00:08:02] I thought it did.

[00:08:04] It's just not worth very much.

[00:08:06] Oh.

[00:08:06] Yeah.

[00:08:07] Like you'd think amazing games like, uh, Breath of the Wild would be worth a lot, but it's

[00:08:12] worth like maybe 30 bucks.

[00:08:13] Mm.

[00:08:13] Um.

[00:08:15] So yeah.

[00:08:16] Um, if you got any Nintendo stuff, any new PlayStation stuff, just let me know.

[00:08:21] No Xbox, please.

[00:08:22] Xbox is, uh, pretty bad.

[00:08:24] Crap.

[00:08:24] Moving.

[00:08:26] Um, yeah, I, I, I do pay very well for the stuff that I buy.

[00:08:30] Too well.

[00:08:30] And I am looking for stuff to buy.

[00:08:32] Yes.

[00:08:33] Right now.

[00:08:34] We need the business to boom.

[00:08:35] Email me.

[00:08:36] Console and stuff.

[00:08:37] Dot com.

[00:08:38] Console and stuff.

[00:08:39] Yeah.

[00:08:40] Not consoles.

[00:08:41] Cause some asshole took the one with the S.

[00:08:43] So console and stuff.

[00:08:45] Dot com.

[00:08:45] Fuck them.

[00:08:46] Yeah.

[00:08:47] Uh, speaking of consoles and stuff, I've released a website, consoles and stuff.

[00:08:51] Dot com.

[00:08:53] And I was wondering why am I not getting any sales on consoles and stuff.

[00:08:58] Dot com.

[00:09:00] It turns out that, uh, the website host provider or whatever couldn't confirm my EIN number.

[00:09:09] So because they couldn't confirm my EIN number, they couldn't take payments.

[00:09:13] I think it's just EIN.

[00:09:14] Isn't in, doesn't in stand for number?

[00:09:17] So you're saying number number?

[00:09:18] EIN number.

[00:09:18] EIN number.

[00:09:19] Because they couldn't confirm my EIN.

[00:09:23] They weren't, uh, taking payments for people that made orders.

[00:09:27] So they would cancel them immediately.

[00:09:29] I know I saw that.

[00:09:31] And, uh, because they would cancel it immediately, I made no sales on the website.

[00:09:36] So I wasted the hosting on it for a month.

[00:09:40] At least it was only a month.

[00:09:42] This week they sent me an email and they're like, Hey, um, we can't confirm your, your

[00:09:46] number.

[00:09:46] Please get in contact with the IRS.

[00:09:49] Get a letter saying that you're the owner of this number and this number belongs to

[00:09:53] consoles and stuff.

[00:09:55] And then get back to us and we'll figure it out.

[00:09:57] And I'm like, no, go fuck yourself.

[00:09:59] And I closed the website.

[00:10:00] So.

[00:10:01] Sad day.

[00:10:02] Oh, Luna.

[00:10:03] So the website is closed.

[00:10:05] There's no consoles and stuff.com right now.

[00:10:07] Um, but, uh, on the 25th of this month, I should be able to migrate consoles and stuff.com

[00:10:14] over to a new domain.

[00:10:16] So what I am doing is I am going to, I already built it.

[00:10:21] It's already set up.

[00:10:22] Um, all I need is the.com to put it on, uh, a card link with all of our links to all of

[00:10:29] our storefronts and all of our socials and everything.

[00:10:31] So that I can still say consoles and stuff.com.

[00:10:35] And that way you can go find everything.

[00:10:38] Um, that, I think that's going to work better.

[00:10:41] Uh, cause most of these platforms do the tax and stuff for you.

[00:10:45] So you don't have to really do much of that stuff.

[00:10:49] And they kind of all track everything that you, uh, sell and whatnot.

[00:10:53] So that, that's pretty cool.

[00:10:55] And, uh, I'm going to be posting on a new, uh, platform called encore.

[00:11:01] It's encore.

[00:11:02] Uh, like, uh, encore.

[00:11:05] I think everybody knows what an encore is.

[00:11:07] Just, just in case.

[00:11:09] And it's not the banking app encore.

[00:11:11] It's a black app with two little green arrows.

[00:11:14] One pointing up one down.

[00:11:15] Um, it's basically like eBay, uh, bid bidding.

[00:11:19] That's how it works.

[00:11:20] But the only difference is that instead of just taking pictures and uploading them, you

[00:11:26] record, uh, I think it's between 30 or 60 second video of the condition of the item.

[00:11:33] And then people go bid on that.

[00:11:37] And for the, I feel like it's, it's a great balance for the seller and the buyer.

[00:11:43] Cause it, the fees just don't fall on one person and the fees aren't insane.

[00:11:49] So I, I think this is going to be a really good platform.

[00:11:52] So just go to encore on your phone, download it and follow us consoles and stuff, just

[00:11:57] like where we are everywhere.

[00:11:59] Or if you're listening to this in the future and I managed to transfer over the consoles

[00:12:02] and stuff.com site over to the card site, just go to that.

[00:12:05] And that'll be probably our primary from now on.

[00:12:08] I think I'm, I'm going to be, uh, putting eBay a little bit on the back burner, depending

[00:12:13] on how encore does.

[00:12:15] Cause, uh, eBay fees can get fucking crazy sometimes.

[00:12:20] So encore is going to be the future.

[00:12:22] Fun times.

[00:12:22] Yeah.

[00:12:24] Um, okay.

[00:12:25] So that's the.com saga.

[00:12:26] What's next?

[00:12:27] Um, let's see here now.

[00:12:30] Chronological gets a little wonky.

[00:12:33] Um, because of your business, we have developed a new hobby on the weekends and that is going

[00:12:41] yard sailing and it is quite fun.

[00:12:44] And I never thought that you would be willing to do something like that.

[00:12:48] But finally I have a little antiquing thrifting yard sale buddy because he now knows that a

[00:12:56] lot of those places have video games.

[00:12:58] Mm-hmm.

[00:12:59] Vintage video games.

[00:13:00] For cheap.

[00:13:01] Sometimes, not always.

[00:13:03] Remember when I found Ori brand new factory sealed?

[00:13:06] At a gigantic flea market in Alabama.

[00:13:10] I made out on that.

[00:13:11] Yeah, you did.

[00:13:12] I bought a original Game Boy with Tetris for $50.

[00:13:18] And I still got to buy the shell so I can shell swap it and put an IPS screen on it.

[00:13:22] But.

[00:13:22] That flea market is wild.

[00:13:24] It's huge.

[00:13:25] It's also kind of trashy, but.

[00:13:28] It's the South.

[00:13:29] Everything's trashy.

[00:13:30] Yeah.

[00:13:30] It's also literally very dirty because it's on a dirt lot.

[00:13:34] It is.

[00:13:35] People driving, dirt flying everywhere.

[00:13:37] Mm-hmm.

[00:13:37] People reselling laundry pods and shit.

[00:13:41] And food.

[00:13:42] And food.

[00:13:42] That's still weird as fucking expired candy.

[00:13:44] Yeah, like expired candy and cereal and all kinds of shit.

[00:13:49] It's weird.

[00:13:50] I wonder if we go now if we're going to be able to find like all the monster cereals like

[00:13:53] Han Chocula, Boo Berry.

[00:13:54] You know what I wonder?

[00:13:55] I wonder what it's going to look like after Christmas.

[00:13:58] I can't wait.

[00:13:59] It's going to be so awful.

[00:14:00] Yeah.

[00:14:01] Huh.

[00:14:02] That's going to be interesting.

[00:14:03] Yeah, it is.

[00:14:05] Interesting.

[00:14:05] Very interesting.

[00:14:06] So, yeah, we're doing that on the weekends for the most part.

[00:14:10] Getting up at the butt crack of dawn.

[00:14:12] Mm-hmm.

[00:14:12] Driving all over the place.

[00:14:14] Mm-hmm.

[00:14:14] Literally.

[00:14:15] It's entertaining.

[00:14:16] We did the 100-mile yard sale back in October.

[00:14:19] That was very good.

[00:14:19] Which goes through my hometown.

[00:14:22] Next year, I've learned we need to go separately.

[00:14:25] We don't.

[00:14:26] Um, because I want to actually shop.

[00:14:28] We need to.

[00:14:29] For fun things.

[00:14:30] No, you and I need to go.

[00:14:32] And everybody else.

[00:14:33] You can go in your car and I can go in mine.

[00:14:35] No.

[00:14:35] Everybody else needs to get away from us and we need to go work.

[00:14:39] Mm-hmm.

[00:14:40] Because I'm pretty sure I lost out on a bunch of deals because you two were like, oh, is

[00:14:45] this a pot?

[00:14:46] No, it's clay.

[00:14:49] You suck.

[00:14:51] Anyway, next thing.

[00:14:53] Looking at the stupidest shit.

[00:14:55] Um, I don't really remember exactly when this started.

[00:15:01] Um, and I, I, I don't know.

[00:15:05] I still feel a little bit funny bragging about it.

[00:15:08] Like, it's one thing to brag about it on social media, like on my Facebook with people who

[00:15:13] have known my entire life.

[00:15:15] Um, and I just, like, I'm proud of myself.

[00:15:18] I'm going to try not to cry.

[00:15:20] Um, but my Instagram is kind of blown up.

[00:15:23] Um, since we last talked, it's still not like huge by any means, especially when compared

[00:15:30] with like the real influencers out there.

[00:15:33] Um, and I, I do have to give some of the credit to my sister because when the new Kindles were

[00:15:39] announced, she, um, she has a lot more money than I do.

[00:15:43] And she did a Kindle Colorsoft giveaway that she allowed me to take part in.

[00:15:49] And I definitely gained like 3,000 followers in a day because of that.

[00:15:55] So that definitely helped.

[00:15:57] But, um, I've also had a lot of stuff go viral over the last couple months.

[00:16:03] Um, the weirdest shit that I never thought would go viral.

[00:16:06] Like, um, you know, my therapist asking me when was the last, where, when, when did my trust

[00:16:12] issue start?

[00:16:13] And it was the scene in, uh, Twilight Breaking Dawn where they kill Carlisle and like rip his

[00:16:20] head off.

[00:16:21] And that's not what happens.

[00:16:22] And you don't realize that it's a vision and all this shit.

[00:16:25] Anyway, um, spoiler.

[00:16:27] What the fuck are you talking about?

[00:16:29] I'm talking about one of my reels that went viral.

[00:16:31] Oh, I thought like you actually went to a therapist.

[00:16:34] Like where the fuck was I for that?

[00:16:35] No, I, the real is my therapist asked, asking me where my trust issues began.

[00:16:41] And it was this movie scene.

[00:16:42] Okay.

[00:16:43] I get it.

[00:16:44] Where all the little teeny bopper girls were all shrieking.

[00:16:47] Cause we're like, why the, how, how did they fuck up the book this much?

[00:16:52] Um, yeah.

[00:16:54] So it's, it's gone a little crazy.

[00:16:55] I'm gaining like a hundred followers a day.

[00:16:59] Um, back a while back, I thought, oh, it would be really cool if I could hit 33,000

[00:17:05] followers by my 33rd birthday, which was in November.

[00:17:09] Um, but I was at like 27,000 followers at the time.

[00:17:14] I was like, there's no way I can gain that many that quickly.

[00:17:18] Um, I hit 33,000 a week before my birthday and I actually was at 34,000 on my birthday.

[00:17:25] Um, it aged you a year.

[00:17:29] Yeah.

[00:17:30] It's definitely slowed down since then.

[00:17:33] Um, but I'm, I'm not complaining at all.

[00:17:36] I've got 35,500 and something followers now.

[00:17:41] Um, and, um, back at the beginning of November, Kung Fu T reached out to me.

[00:17:47] That's so cool.

[00:17:48] And, um, offered me my very first official, like Warner Brothers is involved Lord of the

[00:17:56] Rings collaboration, which if you're in discord, you already saw me going on about it.

[00:18:01] It was not Hobbit only fans.

[00:18:03] Um, well, that'd be pretty cool.

[00:18:05] But, uh, foot jobs from a Hobbit.

[00:18:10] Yeah.

[00:18:11] Yeah.

[00:18:12] I don't want a foot job from a Hobbit.

[00:18:13] Um, so yeah, that's pretty cool.

[00:18:17] Like we went and saw the movie, uh, Thursday.

[00:18:21] That was the day I actually got to post the collab.

[00:18:24] Um, and Gaia Wise even responded to one of my stories that I didn't even tag her in, but

[00:18:30] Lord of the Rings re-shared it.

[00:18:32] Um, saying that she was glad that I enjoyed the War of the Rohirrim.

[00:18:37] The War of the Rohirrim?

[00:18:39] Okay.

[00:18:40] It sounded like you said Thor of the Rohirrim.

[00:18:41] And that I liked Hera as much as she does, which is pretty fucking cool.

[00:18:45] If you don't know who she is, she voices Hera and she is Emma Thompson's daughter.

[00:18:49] Um, so there's lots of really cool things happening.

[00:18:54] I, uh, have the opportunity to potentially host, uh, an international bookish trip.

[00:19:02] Um, if you are interested in possibly taking part in that with me.

[00:19:08] You didn't post it.

[00:19:09] I did not post it.

[00:19:10] Let me know if you're interested.

[00:19:12] Just post it.

[00:19:12] Whoever is interested, go fill it out.

[00:19:14] Okay.

[00:19:16] Um, basically it's just in like the survey stage to see where people would want to go

[00:19:19] and what budgets are and all that jazz.

[00:19:22] Um, and lots of, lots of crazy wild stuff.

[00:19:28] I finally got approved to be an influencer for one of my very favorite publishers that I've

[00:19:34] applied for every fucking year since I started Bookstagram.

[00:19:37] Um, six, it'll be six years in February.

[00:19:40] Um, for six years I've applied and I finally got chosen.

[00:19:45] Like it's like impossible to get in.

[00:19:47] Um, so that's really fucking exciting.

[00:19:51] And yeah, I just hope things only go up from here and that maybe when the next Lord of the

[00:19:57] Rings movie comes out, I'll be invited to the world premiere like all of those other

[00:20:00] influencers were.

[00:20:01] We could hang out with New Better, Do Better.

[00:20:04] We could.

[00:20:05] I'm more concerned about hanging out with Viggo Mortensen.

[00:20:07] I don't care about Viggo.

[00:20:08] Sure.

[00:20:10] Based on the pictures I saw, I know we saw him at DragonCon, but he, that was another thing

[00:20:15] we got to talk about.

[00:20:16] We went to DragonCon.

[00:20:17] Who?

[00:20:17] Do better, do better.

[00:20:19] We did?

[00:20:19] You didn't go to that panel.

[00:20:21] I went to the War of the Rohirrim panel where they gave us the War of the Rohirrim maps and

[00:20:25] pins and stuff.

[00:20:26] Okay.

[00:20:26] And he was one of the panelists.

[00:20:28] Really?

[00:20:29] Yes.

[00:20:30] But I didn't get to see him standing up.

[00:20:33] Um, based on the pictures I saw of the premiere, he looks like a very, very small statured man.

[00:20:41] Very short.

[00:20:43] I just, it caught me off guard.

[00:20:45] I was like, oh, wow.

[00:20:48] What?

[00:20:49] Okay.

[00:20:50] So this is going to sound awful.

[00:20:54] This is going to sound racist actually.

[00:20:56] Oh no.

[00:20:58] You're not white, so it's more okay.

[00:21:00] If it were you saying it, I'd be like, that's kind of wrong.

[00:21:04] Yeah.

[00:21:05] He, he looks like he can put away chicken wings.

[00:21:08] Oh my God.

[00:21:08] And that he would know where to find the best chicken wings.

[00:21:11] No.

[00:21:12] So I just want to hang out with him, eat chicken wings, drink mead, and talk about Lord of

[00:21:18] the Rings.

[00:21:18] Watch him not even like chicken wings.

[00:21:20] Watch him be a vegan.

[00:21:21] Oh my God.

[00:21:23] I can't.

[00:21:25] No, he, where's he from?

[00:21:27] He's from Atlanta.

[00:21:28] Is he?

[00:21:29] I think so.

[00:21:29] Cause Danny was saying that he was coming up to Atlanta to interview him.

[00:21:34] I thought he was from New York.

[00:21:35] Is he from New York?

[00:21:36] I don't know.

[00:21:37] Let's just message him when we're in New York.

[00:21:39] Like, Hey, we'll pay for dinner.

[00:21:40] Let's hang out.

[00:21:41] A chicken wing place.

[00:21:42] Yeah.

[00:21:43] Oh my God.

[00:21:43] Where's the best place to eat chicken wings?

[00:21:47] Oh dear.

[00:21:48] It's so bad.

[00:21:49] I swear my grandmother's black.

[00:21:52] Was black.

[00:21:54] And your grandfather.

[00:21:56] No, my grandfather wasn't black.

[00:21:58] He was white.

[00:21:59] I don't know what your grandfather was.

[00:21:59] No, he was white and had blue eyes.

[00:22:00] Or great grandfather.

[00:22:01] Somebody was.

[00:22:03] Anyway.

[00:22:03] I promise I have black people in my family and in my blood.

[00:22:09] When you're out in the sun too much, you get real dark.

[00:22:11] Oh yeah.

[00:22:12] Real dark.

[00:22:13] It'll be like our nephews asking their mother, why is my brother black?

[00:22:17] And she's like, he's Mexican.

[00:22:18] He's not black.

[00:22:21] The key phrasing.

[00:22:23] Why is my mother?

[00:22:24] Why is my brother black?

[00:22:25] And I'm not.

[00:22:26] Yes.

[00:22:27] Bless his little heart.

[00:22:28] First of all, he's not black.

[00:22:30] Six year old.

[00:22:30] Anyway.

[00:22:32] I have become obsessed with Kung Fu tea as a result of this partnership.

[00:22:37] I mean, I already really liked it.

[00:22:39] Like I didn't like it the first time we had it.

[00:22:41] And then I slowly.

[00:22:43] The problem is every time we go somewhere.

[00:22:45] Bad things.

[00:22:46] Every time we go somewhere new, you panic order.

[00:22:49] Yeah, I do.

[00:22:50] One.

[00:22:50] Yeah.

[00:22:51] And then two, you order the thing that you think sounds good, but it's actually not.

[00:22:56] Yeah.

[00:22:56] But I had gotten to where I was slowly picking out better things.

[00:22:59] Like I got that honey guava thing that I really liked.

[00:23:02] The princess peach drink you really liked.

[00:23:04] The princess peach drink that I really liked.

[00:23:06] But y'all, Kung Fu tea gave me $200 in Kung Fu tea credit.

[00:23:12] Mainly because they and Warner Brothers had the right to up to like five revisions if they didn't like my content.

[00:23:21] Thank God they did.

[00:23:22] And literally the only thing I had to change was the voiceover.

[00:23:25] And it was because the script that I was given said a specific thing that one of the partners did not want said anyway.

[00:23:34] Thankfully, that was the only thing I had to change.

[00:23:35] So we have been going boba crazy.

[00:23:38] Oh, yeah.

[00:23:38] Getting so much Kung Fu tea.

[00:23:41] Like every time we go to town, we literally changed our plans yesterday to go to a different town so that we could go to Kung Fu tea.

[00:23:47] And I may or may not have ordered two drinks instead of just one.

[00:23:50] You always order two drinks.

[00:23:51] I've honestly surprised that the people at the establishment have not started to comment on like recognizing me or anything like that.

[00:23:58] My name, since it's always an online order.

[00:24:00] I have a yogurt peach drink that is so freaking good.

[00:24:04] I think Burger Champ would love it.

[00:24:06] Yeah.

[00:24:07] Because it's super sour.

[00:24:10] It's, well, he does sound like fruity and sweet.

[00:24:12] It's really good.

[00:24:13] Yeah.

[00:24:13] The yogurt drink, like the first sip, I was like, this is weird.

[00:24:18] And then I took a couple more sips.

[00:24:19] I'm like, no, actually, this is really good.

[00:24:21] Well, if you have a Kung Fu tea near you, yes, they did pay me, but I am saying this in all seriousness because I've been drinking this thing like a fiend.

[00:24:30] If you have a Kung Fu tea near you and you can get there before the end, I think they go away the end of the month because they will have been there for two months at that point.

[00:24:38] Get the Middle Earth Lavender Latte and Hera's Wild Lavender Punch.

[00:24:43] They are the fucking best.

[00:24:45] Make sure you get them with their appropriate boba and jellies.

[00:24:50] So fucking good.

[00:24:51] So good.

[00:24:52] That coffee popping boba, life changing.

[00:24:56] Yeah.

[00:24:57] We keep having issues with this damn voice meter audacity thing.

[00:25:04] Oh, we're recording again.

[00:25:05] Yes, we're recording again because it was picking you up on my microphone, which is weird because it normally doesn't do that and your audio is usually very low.

[00:25:14] Like right now you see I'm talking and it's not registering on yours.

[00:25:20] But when you talk, talk.

[00:25:21] Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.

[00:25:24] Oh, it's not picking you up.

[00:25:25] Okay.

[00:25:25] Okay.

[00:25:26] Cool.

[00:25:26] I guess you're not screaming.

[00:25:27] Yay.

[00:25:28] Okay.

[00:25:28] So Kung Fu tea, boba tea, awesome stuff.

[00:25:31] Yay.

[00:25:31] Drink, drink.

[00:25:32] Yeah.

[00:25:32] Um, let's see here.

[00:25:35] Discovered Kava.

[00:25:37] Oh yeah.

[00:25:38] We needed to talk about some Gorba G stuff.

[00:25:41] So Kung Fu tea and Kava.

[00:25:42] So on our way to Dragon Con back in September, we, um, we stopped at Kava in Columbus to have lunch because PETA was being remodeled.

[00:25:56] Or so we thought it was actually being permanently closed for whatever reason.

[00:26:03] That makes me so fucking mad.

[00:26:04] I love PETA so much.

[00:26:06] Well, I love Kava more.

[00:26:09] I don't.

[00:26:10] I do.

[00:26:10] I like PETA more because they had those Harissa, uh, gyro fries.

[00:26:16] Oh, that shit was incredible.

[00:26:17] The only thing Kava doesn't have is fries.

[00:26:21] Nobody has fries like PETA did.

[00:26:24] Well, we've, we've discovered Kava.

[00:26:26] We love Kava.

[00:26:28] It has led to an obsession where we make our own gyro bowls at home.

[00:26:33] They are amazing.

[00:26:34] We discovered that Sam's has a build your own gyro kit.

[00:26:38] But, but I think we're going to start just like making it on our own because we can essentially make everything in the kit, like without the kit.

[00:26:48] So except for the lamb, but we can figure that out.

[00:26:51] We can get lamb.

[00:26:51] It's fine.

[00:26:52] Or we can make the Kava copycat chicken.

[00:26:56] Um, fabulous.

[00:26:58] I've become obsessed with Mediterranean flavors.

[00:27:00] It's wonderful.

[00:27:02] Um, what else?

[00:27:04] What else?

[00:27:05] You want to talk about your Twitch streaming?

[00:27:07] Hold up.

[00:27:08] Oh.

[00:27:08] Uh, what are you doing?

[00:27:10] I'm, I'm deleting stuff from the list.

[00:27:12] As we've talked about it.

[00:27:13] Yes.

[00:27:14] Uh, you forgot one thing.

[00:27:18] Stephen King is your new bestie.

[00:27:19] I, I'm not going in order.

[00:27:22] That was part of your blowing up thing.

[00:27:24] Oh yeah.

[00:27:25] On threads.

[00:27:26] I gained like a thousand followers and 12 hours because, um, well, Stephen King joined threads

[00:27:33] because he left, uh, X saying it was too dark.

[00:27:36] Everybody's like, if you, if Stephen King says it's too dark, you know it's too dark.

[00:27:41] Um, but like everybody under the signs talking about Stephen King.

[00:27:46] So I just said, I love how Stephen King joined threads and became everybody's bestie.

[00:27:50] And Stephen King liked it and responded to it saying I could be his bestie.

[00:27:58] And holy fucking shit.

[00:28:01] That shit blew the fuck up.

[00:28:04] I think his reply wound up last I looked with like 65,000 likes and everybody's like,

[00:28:12] Oh, we're so jealous of you.

[00:28:13] You must be so happy.

[00:28:15] I'm like, it's really cool.

[00:28:17] But like, I don't know.

[00:28:20] I read, I read it.

[00:28:22] Hey, worth it.

[00:28:22] Shawshank Redemption.

[00:28:23] And I DNF the shining trying to read it with burger champ.

[00:28:28] Parasocial relationship.

[00:28:29] But, um, I felt bad.

[00:28:32] So I checked out it on audio on Libby and, um, it is, uh, like 45 hours long.

[00:28:43] Um, but I am 9% into it and I'm not despising it.

[00:28:52] I am terribly confused about where the fuck it's going to go.

[00:28:58] And I'm definitely getting a hefty dose of holy shit.

[00:29:02] This man describes anything and everything, everything.

[00:29:10] Like, uh, Sarah J Moss and her world building.

[00:29:14] Kind of, but more.

[00:29:17] Way more.

[00:29:19] Way more.

[00:29:20] Yep.

[00:29:21] So, um, I'm assuming I'm not spoiling this for anyone.

[00:29:24] I'm currently at the bit where I don't remember anybody's name except Bill and Georgie.

[00:29:31] Um, I remember no one's name yet.

[00:29:33] Um, I'm at the part where the, the husband is trying to keep the wife from going to help

[00:29:42] back in dairy and he's like beating her with the belt.

[00:29:46] Uh, that's where I stopped listening Friday afternoon on my way to work.

[00:29:51] I mean, I'm away home from work.

[00:29:53] Um.

[00:29:53] Beating her with a belt.

[00:29:54] With a belt.

[00:29:55] Yes.

[00:29:56] Um, I also, like, I know that the way he writes would have largely been influenced by the time.

[00:30:05] But like, is this man fat phobic?

[00:30:08] Cause that's kind of how it feels.

[00:30:11] Um, just some of this stuff.

[00:30:13] But, uh, yeah.

[00:30:14] Yeah.

[00:30:15] So wish me luck on that journey.

[00:30:17] Yeah.

[00:30:18] That would be interesting.

[00:30:19] Yeah.

[00:30:19] Yeah.

[00:30:20] I'm so confused about how this is going to end.

[00:30:25] Yep.

[00:30:25] Yeah.

[00:30:25] Me too.

[00:30:26] Anyway.

[00:30:27] Okay.

[00:30:28] Uh, streaming.

[00:30:29] Is that next?

[00:30:30] It can be.

[00:30:31] We're not going in order here, so might as well be.

[00:30:35] Okay.

[00:30:35] Oh, you also talked about the Trova trip.

[00:30:37] I am deleting stuff.

[00:30:38] Yes.

[00:30:39] I did talk about that.

[00:30:41] Trova.

[00:30:43] Okay.

[00:30:44] So streaming.

[00:30:45] I have been saying for years that I am going to stream.

[00:30:49] It might actually happen in 2025.

[00:30:51] It needs to happen, especially if there's an opportunity for money to be made.

[00:30:56] The way the reason Karen says that is because we have mutual friends that are both streamers now.

[00:31:03] Um, one of them has been streaming for a while.

[00:31:07] She's affiliate.

[00:31:08] She's made a bunch of money.

[00:31:11] Um, and then her girlfriend decided to start streaming because she hates her job and she wants to do it full time so she can quit her job, which I completely get that.

[00:31:21] The insane thing is that, uh, she's been streaming for maybe two months, two and a half months.

[00:31:30] I don't know.

[00:31:31] In the first month she made affiliate because her girlfriend set up a plan of this is when you're going to stream.

[00:31:38] This is what you're going to stream.

[00:31:39] And this is how we're going to get you followers.

[00:31:42] And it worked.

[00:31:43] And on top of that, before she even became an affiliate, she got a, uh, sponsorship from, I think it was like AFK journey or something.

[00:31:56] It's some weird idol RPG.

[00:31:59] And they paid her $5,000 for it just to sit there and play this game for three hours.

[00:32:05] And I'm like, that's insane.

[00:32:08] Wow.

[00:32:09] Can you do that for me?

[00:32:10] And they're like, yeah, we'll help you set up everything.

[00:32:11] I'll get you started and whatnot.

[00:32:13] I'm like, okay, fine.

[00:32:17] Like, like, why are you sleeping on this?

[00:32:19] Right.

[00:32:20] Um, and like the thing is entertaining.

[00:32:22] Am I?

[00:32:23] Yeah, I guess.

[00:32:25] Um, the thing is you see my desk right now.

[00:32:28] How many consoles do you see on my desk?

[00:32:31] One, two, three.

[00:32:36] Three.

[00:32:37] Three.

[00:32:38] Uh, one, two, three, four.

[00:32:39] Four.

[00:32:40] Four.

[00:32:40] Two of them I can't use on the computer.

[00:32:43] Um, but if you actually look right here, look at this.

[00:32:46] Mm-hmm.

[00:32:47] This is Switch dock.

[00:32:48] I can plug my Switch into it and play Switch games.

[00:32:51] And everything is connected.

[00:32:53] I finally figured out the audio issue that I was having where I couldn't get the audio in real time from the computer.

[00:33:02] It just turns out I had to connect to my external monitor that I play on, uh, so that I could get the audio directly from it.

[00:33:09] Nice.

[00:33:10] So, now that I figured my biggest hurdle, why am I not streaming?

[00:33:16] Right.

[00:33:18] Everything's set up.

[00:33:18] I just have to do it.

[00:33:20] And they gave me a great idea.

[00:33:21] They're like, well, you buy a bunch of games and you have to test them and clean them.

[00:33:24] Why don't you just do...

[00:33:26] A stream while you're testing them.

[00:33:28] A co-working stream where you're just testing games, checking stuff out, all that stuff.

[00:33:33] It doesn't have to be you just sitting there and playing games.

[00:33:36] Yeah.

[00:33:37] Like, right now behind you I have a stack of Sega Dreamcast games that I have to clean out.

[00:33:42] I have two Resident Evil Code Veronica's right there that are covered in paper.

[00:33:47] And that's an easy clean.

[00:33:49] That's something that I could stream and co-work.

[00:33:51] I'm like, where you're sitting right now, that desk, that's my work area.

[00:33:55] So, I could just move the webcam, move one of the monitors and just go from there.

[00:34:00] Yep.

[00:34:00] Easy peasy.

[00:34:02] Yeah.

[00:34:02] So...

[00:34:03] Money, money, money.

[00:34:04] Maybe.

[00:34:04] Hopefully.

[00:34:05] Possibly.

[00:34:06] Possibly.

[00:34:07] It was insane when she told me that I was like, what?

[00:34:10] They're like, yeah.

[00:34:12] Like, wow.

[00:34:15] That's a lot of money for nothing.

[00:34:17] I'd pay off both of our cars.

[00:34:19] Right now.

[00:34:20] Right now.

[00:34:21] Yeah.

[00:34:22] It was wild.

[00:34:23] It would.

[00:34:26] What's next?

[00:34:27] What is next?

[00:34:28] Oh, so I do kind of have a list of shit that I want to start streaming.

[00:34:34] I fell in love with the Ys series.

[00:34:39] It's spelled Y, capital Y, lowercase s, Ys.

[00:34:45] I fell in love with it because it's so magical and like fairy-taly.

[00:34:52] And there's demons and angels and goddesses and music suits the demons.

[00:35:00] And it's so good.

[00:35:01] It's so well-written.

[00:35:02] And it's so well-connected between Ys origin and one and two, which are the only ones I played right now.

[00:35:08] I'm probably going to start three later on today.

[00:35:13] I fell in love with the series.

[00:35:14] And that's a series that I would love to stream.

[00:35:16] I also want to keep going through my Metroid series replay or whatever I've been doing with Metroid.

[00:35:24] Finish God of Wars.

[00:35:26] Continue Kingdom Hearts.

[00:35:27] I have so much to do.

[00:35:30] And I also bought not too long ago a Steam Deck dock, which shit the bet yesterday because it was a $20 dock.

[00:35:38] I'm actually going to buy the $80 Steam official dock because I need something that won't shit the bet and I can play video games on the TV and on the computer.

[00:35:49] So I'm excited for the future.

[00:35:53] I got a lot of stuff that I can do and yeah.

[00:35:59] Ys is amazing.

[00:36:00] Play the Ys series.

[00:36:01] It's probably one of my favorite series that I've discovered this year.

[00:36:04] Very nice.

[00:36:05] So good.

[00:36:06] Speaking of stuff done this year, as Burger Champ stated a while back, I was reading like a fiend there for a hot minute.

[00:36:15] I did wind up thankfully surpassing my reading goal this year.

[00:36:20] I set it lower to not disappoint myself like I did last year.

[00:36:28] It's still like not a ton of books or anything.

[00:36:30] I've read 114, so 43 more than the goal I set for myself at 75, which I know is nothing compared to Burger Champ.

[00:36:40] But, you know, hey, we've all got our different paces and whatnot.

[00:36:45] But yeah, since the last you heard from us until about a month ago or so, I was reading like a fiend.

[00:36:54] And I did wind up getting kind of into a slump, mainly because I've been working a lot, a lot.

[00:37:03] And I'm really burnt the fuck out.

[00:37:06] But it also didn't help that I decided to pick up a middle grade Halloween book around Halloween.

[00:37:15] And it just, like it wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I needed at the time.

[00:37:21] And it just kind of put me into a slumpy mood.

[00:37:26] But it's getting better already.

[00:37:28] So I'm hoping to finish out the year strong.

[00:37:30] I've got two weeks off coming up.

[00:37:32] I know we're going to be busy for part of that, but I'm hoping that I'll get a lot of reading done.

[00:37:38] A lot of content shot.

[00:37:41] Lots of creativity flowing.

[00:37:44] Lots of reading.

[00:37:46] And lots of show catching upping.

[00:37:49] Because we have still not finished watching two incredibly, actually three incredibly important shows that have come out since we last recorded.

[00:38:02] Four.

[00:38:02] What are those?

[00:38:03] Four.

[00:38:04] No, I don't want to watch the other one.

[00:38:05] I don't care.

[00:38:06] I don't care.

[00:38:07] I know you want me to care, but I don't care.

[00:38:10] It'll just take away time from reading, and I don't feel any sort of investment in it.

[00:38:15] None.

[00:38:15] Because you haven't started it.

[00:38:16] Ugh.

[00:38:16] Because you haven't even given it a chance.

[00:38:18] Oh, I don't want to.

[00:38:21] Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.

[00:38:25] I have zero interest.

[00:38:28] Zero.

[00:38:30] Zero.

[00:38:31] It's anime, right?

[00:38:32] It's really good.

[00:38:33] I have zero interest.

[00:38:34] It's so good.

[00:38:36] The only reason I saw The War of the Rohirrim is because it's Lord of the Rings.

[00:38:40] I have zero interest.

[00:38:42] Zero.

[00:38:43] But you kind of want to watch Daima.

[00:38:45] Big, fat oval.

[00:38:47] That first episode that we sat through was painful.

[00:38:50] It's a recap.

[00:38:51] It was a recap.

[00:38:52] And I don't.

[00:38:53] I thought it was dubbed.

[00:38:55] It's not.

[00:38:55] I thought it was dubbed.

[00:38:56] The dub's not coming out till summer.

[00:38:57] I need dubbed.

[00:38:59] I don't.

[00:39:00] I don't.

[00:39:00] I.

[00:39:01] Okay.

[00:39:02] That's going to sound really terrible.

[00:39:04] I think that to voice acting is just the most hokey, ridiculous.

[00:39:14] I can't take it seriously.

[00:39:16] I can't.

[00:39:17] That's the point.

[00:39:19] Oh.

[00:39:19] It's not supposed to be serious.

[00:39:21] Seriously.

[00:39:22] It's dragon.

[00:39:22] I want to take it more seriously.

[00:39:24] Okay.

[00:39:25] It's.

[00:39:26] Here's the thing that people don't understand.

[00:39:28] All of Dragon Ball is wildly different from each other.

[00:39:32] Okay.

[00:39:33] You got the original Dragon Ball, which is a funny adventure about a monkey kid finding

[00:39:39] his place in the world.

[00:39:41] Uh-huh.

[00:39:42] Right.

[00:39:43] Then after that, you got C, which is insanely different to the original Dragon Ball.

[00:39:50] They're flying.

[00:39:51] They're shooting beams.

[00:39:52] They're going super saiyan.

[00:39:53] They're going interplanetary.

[00:39:54] They're so strong that they can blow up planets.

[00:39:56] It is wildly different.

[00:40:00] GT tried to mix both the original and Dragon Ball C.

[00:40:05] And honestly, the beginning of it is really fucking bad.

[00:40:10] Then it's okay.

[00:40:12] Super is the, I think, a really good balance of the original's funny and hokeyness and the

[00:40:21] action of C.

[00:40:22] And then Daima is just back to original Dragon Ball.

[00:40:27] It is so completely different.

[00:40:30] And I think it's fun.

[00:40:33] You need to, like, not take it seriously because it's little kids going on an adventure.

[00:40:38] Yes.

[00:40:39] I just.

[00:40:43] Goku's always sounded like that.

[00:40:45] Oh, it's awful.

[00:40:46] If he sounds any different, it would be weird.

[00:40:48] It's awful.

[00:40:50] No, it's not.

[00:40:50] Yeah, it is.

[00:40:51] It's great.

[00:40:52] So we also still haven't finished watching The Rings of Power.

[00:40:56] That's bad.

[00:40:57] No, it's not.

[00:40:57] We didn't even make it to Tom Bombadil.

[00:41:00] Let's make a deal.

[00:41:01] We watch all of Rings of Power and you'll give Danda Dun.

[00:41:04] I'll give Daima.

[00:41:05] No.

[00:41:06] The chance.

[00:41:06] You'll give Danda Dun.

[00:41:07] I don't want to.

[00:41:09] Up to episode seven.

[00:41:11] Oh, I don't want to.

[00:41:11] You don't even have to finish it.

[00:41:13] You don't even have to finish it.

[00:41:14] Just get two episodes.

[00:41:14] Is it dubbed?

[00:41:15] No.

[00:41:16] Oh.

[00:41:16] It's subbed.

[00:41:17] But the voice acting is good.

[00:41:19] I don't want to.

[00:41:21] Actually, I think it is dubbed.

[00:41:22] Let me see.

[00:41:24] We also have still not finished watching Frasier because we suck.

[00:41:29] Although at least we've only got one episode left and we agreed we'd all sit down and watch

[00:41:33] it this week.

[00:41:34] So we're not as piss poor behind on that one.

[00:41:39] It is dubbed.

[00:41:40] It's English dubbed.

[00:41:41] Okay.

[00:41:42] So it's...

[00:41:42] How long are the episodes?

[00:41:44] Like 20 minutes.

[00:41:45] Oh, okay.

[00:41:47] It's good.

[00:41:49] I just...

[00:41:49] I'm...

[00:41:50] And it's funny.

[00:41:52] I prefer watching Trash because I can read while it plays in the background.

[00:41:58] I like to watch things that do not require my attention.

[00:42:03] You know what I'm saying?

[00:42:04] Then you're not going to watch War of the...

[00:42:06] The Rings of Power.

[00:42:08] Yes, I am.

[00:42:08] The Rings of Power because you have the attention.

[00:42:09] Because Daddy Sal around is hot.

[00:42:11] Oh my God.

[00:42:12] Yes.

[00:42:14] Anyway.

[00:42:16] What was I going to transition?

[00:42:19] We have two more things.

[00:42:20] Okay, okay, okay, okay.

[00:42:23] Since we finished Alex vs. America...

[00:42:26] Today.

[00:42:27] Today.

[00:42:28] We're going to watch Dandaran instead.

[00:42:30] Oh my God.

[00:42:30] While we eat.

[00:42:31] While we eat.

[00:42:34] Okay.

[00:42:35] While we eat.

[00:42:36] I want to watch Chopped.

[00:42:38] I do too.

[00:42:39] Also, Alex vs. America was really good.

[00:42:41] It was very good.

[00:42:42] I didn't like it at first because she is kind of a bitch.

[00:42:45] But she grows on you.

[00:42:47] I don't think she's a bitch.

[00:42:48] I think she's really rough around the edges.

[00:42:50] She is very rough around the edges.

[00:42:53] She got less rough as the show progressed.

[00:42:57] Yeah.

[00:42:58] She reminds me of...

[00:42:59] I really enjoyed it.

[00:43:00] She reminds me of one of my aunts.

[00:43:01] And I told you yesterday and you were like, oh my God, yes.

[00:43:03] It's so true.

[00:43:04] She is very rough around the edges, but she's very nice when she wants to be.

[00:43:11] Yeah.

[00:43:11] Yeah.

[00:43:12] I really liked Alex vs. America.

[00:43:15] I really liked the dynamic between Alex and Eric.

[00:43:18] Yeah.

[00:43:18] I also really like Eric.

[00:43:19] Eric is a really cool dude.

[00:43:20] Yeah.

[00:43:21] It was very enjoyable.

[00:43:22] I'm sad that we watched all of it.

[00:43:27] But it was good.

[00:43:28] What episode was it that she was like, oh, the pineapple episode where she did the pasta

[00:43:35] sauce and she put pineapple in it?

[00:43:37] She was fucking furious when they gave her pineapple.

[00:43:42] Or are you talking about the tomato soup and the grilled cheese?

[00:43:48] Yes.

[00:43:48] With the pineapple in it.

[00:43:49] With the pineapple.

[00:43:50] Yeah.

[00:43:50] She was mad about the pineapple and then she was mad because the bread was wrong and

[00:43:54] it wouldn't do what she wanted.

[00:43:56] The brioche.

[00:43:56] Yeah.

[00:43:57] The brioche.

[00:43:57] Yeah.

[00:43:57] It was still like, it didn't get crispy.

[00:44:00] Oh, she was mad.

[00:44:02] But she did have a very impressive winning streak on that last season.

[00:44:05] Yeah.

[00:44:05] She lost to Michael Simon and then the episode where she wasn't able to plate.

[00:44:11] I think that even if she would have managed to plate in that episode.

[00:44:15] No, she was still going to lose to both of them because she was off the mark by far.

[00:44:22] Yeah.

[00:44:25] One last thing before we taste some hot sauces.

[00:44:30] I don't know when I'll do this.

[00:44:33] Hopefully before the end of the year.

[00:44:34] I do have two weeks off coming up.

[00:44:36] Um, I have said that I would like to sit down and record a Patreon episode.

[00:44:43] Um, probably of just me just giving a quick recap of everything I've read since we last

[00:44:50] recorded.

[00:44:52] Because there is a good bit.

[00:44:54] Um, some of it was rereads.

[00:44:57] So that would obviously be super brief.

[00:44:59] The whole thing would be super brief.

[00:45:00] I'd probably only go in depth on a couple here and there.

[00:45:02] But, you know, since I robbed you all of giving you any sort of recap for the last seven months,

[00:45:09] I figured that might be fun.

[00:45:12] If any of you still subscribe to our Patreon, I don't blame you if you don't.

[00:45:18] If you stopped subscribing and are willing to resubscribe for this episode, wait until

[00:45:23] we tell you it's actually there.

[00:45:27] I would hate for you to resubscribe and then me know that you did that.

[00:45:31] And like, make.

[00:45:33] Me know so much.

[00:45:34] Shut up.

[00:45:35] You know what I mean?

[00:45:36] Um, and then, you know, put the, that caveat on it and me never do it.

[00:45:42] Yeah.

[00:45:43] Yeah.

[00:45:44] Yeah.

[00:45:45] Yeah.

[00:45:45] Yeah.

[00:45:48] So you're going to do that at some point?

[00:45:49] I want to.

[00:45:50] Yeah.

[00:45:50] I mean, I've read some really, really good shit since we last talked.

[00:45:54] Um, just for one, I read an entire series, which is something I do not do like in, in one

[00:46:01] go, um, we need to do our top five of the year.

[00:46:08] Yeah.

[00:46:09] Um, I know we need to do that, but like this, this is way more than.

[00:46:13] I know.

[00:46:13] Cause we also, every year we do kind of like everything that we.

[00:46:17] Yeah.

[00:46:17] Let's not, that's too much.

[00:46:19] So why don't you do yours and then I'll do mine separate and we'll throw those on Patreon.

[00:46:25] Why would we do it separately?

[00:46:27] Cause you're going to do a recap of what you've read.

[00:46:30] So you want me to just do it all in one go?

[00:46:31] If you want, it doesn't matter to me.

[00:46:34] Especially if I do it while I'm off, then I will have basically read everything I'm going

[00:46:38] to read for the year.

[00:46:40] Yeah.

[00:46:41] I could sit down like New Year's Eve morning and do it, something like that.

[00:46:45] Maybe.

[00:46:46] That's not a bad idea.

[00:46:47] We'll see.

[00:46:47] But we can do the top five.

[00:46:49] Cause I, I, I like doing the one where we ran, run, ran, run through everything.

[00:46:55] That's too much.

[00:46:56] That we've read, but it's a long episode and it gets kind of boring at points.

[00:47:00] Yeah.

[00:47:01] Um, but I think individually, you know, I don't even know how many, uh, games I've got for this

[00:47:08] year.

[00:47:08] Say stuff while I count.

[00:47:10] Um, I don't know words to say.

[00:47:14] Um, I'll tell you one of the, well, the series that I read.

[00:47:19] So I read a book in Puerto Rico that I just became absolutely obsessed with.

[00:47:24] It was phenomenal.

[00:47:26] Um, it was an arc and I finished reading it and I read, um, like they, they did one of the

[00:47:35] things where, you know, if you, if you liked this, keep reading in this series.

[00:47:41] And it was the first chapter of, um, the other series that this woman has written.

[00:47:47] And I read the first book.

[00:47:49] I didn't really enjoy it.

[00:47:50] I think I gave it like three stars.

[00:47:51] I read it when I was working at the call center.

[00:47:53] I think it was, I think I was actually reading it when we met.

[00:47:58] Um, didn't love it, but I fucking loved this book that I read while we were down there.

[00:48:04] And, um, I was devastated to realize that the characters from this other series were like,

[00:48:15] it was like an ancestry thing.

[00:48:17] Well, they were, they were the parents basically of the people in this book.

[00:48:22] Um, so I was really mad at myself.

[00:48:26] Um, so I went back and I reread that book, read the entire series, um, like within two

[00:48:34] months, which is unheard of for me, but also because of Libby hold times, like I had to wait

[00:48:39] for the last book.

[00:48:41] Um, and then I decided to go back and reread the book that I read in Puerto Rico.

[00:48:47] And oh my God, the way like I already fucking loved that book, but the way my reading experience

[00:48:56] changed and was that much better because I finally had the context from the other series.

[00:49:02] Oh, chef's kiss.

[00:49:04] But I'll talk more about that later.

[00:49:06] Okay.

[00:49:07] You'll mention the name of the book later.

[00:49:08] Yes.

[00:49:09] People probably might know already.

[00:49:11] I don't know if they paid attention at all to what I'm reading on Goodreads, they know,

[00:49:15] but that's one person.

[00:49:18] I, I, I've eaten 46 games so far.

[00:49:21] Okay.

[00:49:21] That's not bad.

[00:49:22] I wonder if, Threx beat a hundred games this year and Burger Chips beat 150.

[00:49:29] What the, what the fuck?

[00:49:32] How does he literally, how does he have a life?

[00:49:35] How does he have a job?

[00:49:36] How does he have a family?

[00:49:37] From what I understand, from what I understand what he said, um, I think he's one of those

[00:49:42] people that only needs four hours of sleep to function.

[00:49:45] I think that might be.

[00:49:47] It.

[00:49:49] I need 20 hours of sleep to function.

[00:49:52] I wish.

[00:49:53] So I think that might be, that might be how he does it.

[00:49:57] Damn.

[00:49:58] What the fuck?

[00:49:59] Yeah.

[00:50:00] Um, there's this dude that I follow on TikTok called Moonface Nick.

[00:50:02] He's beat a hundred games this year.

[00:50:04] I'm like, and he hasn't just beaten them.

[00:50:06] He beat them on stream.

[00:50:08] I'm like, how do you find the time?

[00:50:11] And they're like full fledged RPGs, like Soulsborne games and shit.

[00:50:15] And I'm like.

[00:50:16] We do also waste a fuck ton of time on our phones.

[00:50:20] Doomscrolling.

[00:50:20] I can't wait for TikTok to go away.

[00:50:24] Anyway.

[00:50:24] You have to pry it out of your hands.

[00:50:25] Right.

[00:50:27] Um.

[00:50:28] You know, you could just delete it.

[00:50:30] I, I could.

[00:50:31] I don't want to though.

[00:50:34] Cause there, there are some friends that I only talk to them on TikTok.

[00:50:38] Like wise.

[00:50:39] Mm.

[00:50:39] So.

[00:50:41] What?

[00:50:42] Yeah.

[00:50:42] Why?

[00:50:42] Shane.

[00:50:44] Um.

[00:50:46] What else?

[00:50:47] Uh.

[00:50:48] We got hot sauces.

[00:50:50] Let me go back to intro topics.

[00:50:52] Uh.

[00:50:53] Reading like a fiend.

[00:50:56] Dima.

[00:50:58] Alex versus America.

[00:50:59] So pretty much everything's done.

[00:51:02] Except hot sauces.

[00:51:04] Um.

[00:51:07] Uh.

[00:51:08] Before we do hot sauces.

[00:51:09] Patreon.

[00:51:11] Uh.

[00:51:12] Backlog of Doom.

[00:51:14] Oh God.

[00:51:15] You got that book.

[00:51:16] Yeah.

[00:51:16] You haven't read it.

[00:51:17] That I hunted for for months and months.

[00:51:19] And it was in your.

[00:51:20] And it was right there.

[00:51:22] Yeah.

[00:51:22] At the top of my cart facing the bed the entire time.

[00:51:25] Yeah.

[00:51:25] Um.

[00:51:26] I did start dragging it.

[00:51:27] Dragon.

[00:51:28] Quest.

[00:51:28] Not age.

[00:51:29] Um.

[00:51:30] I, I think that's just gonna be my game.

[00:51:32] Till the end of the year.

[00:51:33] Till I finish it.

[00:51:34] It.

[00:51:34] I, I played like maybe two or three hours.

[00:51:36] And it's really good.

[00:51:37] It's fun.

[00:51:38] So.

[00:51:39] I'm just gonna.

[00:51:40] Do that.

[00:51:42] Streamline that.

[00:51:43] I'm not.

[00:51:44] I need to finish it.

[00:51:45] Cause we need to get that episode out.

[00:51:47] Um.

[00:51:48] Cause.

[00:51:48] Patrons did pay for it.

[00:51:49] Uh.

[00:51:50] Let's see if.

[00:51:52] This is the 15th.

[00:51:54] I'm gonna try to get it done.

[00:51:56] This month.

[00:51:57] See if maybe we can start the new year with a.

[00:52:00] Episode.

[00:52:01] On.

[00:52:01] The backlog.

[00:52:04] Of doom.

[00:52:04] Winners.

[00:52:05] Yeah.

[00:52:06] That's reasonable.

[00:52:07] Open up those crackers.

[00:52:08] Okie dokie.

[00:52:09] Let's get this hot sauce.

[00:52:09] Let's mute this.

[00:52:11] Why are you meeting it?

[00:52:12] Because it's gonna make a lot of noise.

[00:52:14] Nobody heard you say that.

[00:52:15] She said because it's gonna make a lot of noise.

[00:52:18] Anyways.

[00:52:18] Uh.

[00:52:19] We have four sauces.

[00:52:20] Give me the sauces while you open that.

[00:52:22] I know Burger Champ gave us a list of sauces to try.

[00:52:25] And which ones to try it out.

[00:52:27] Oops.

[00:52:27] Um.

[00:52:28] But.

[00:52:30] Um.

[00:52:32] I kinda wanna just.

[00:52:34] Punish ourselves for this.

[00:52:36] So we picked out four sauces blindly.

[00:52:38] Carradine just reached into the box and grabbed these four.

[00:52:42] We got.

[00:52:44] Marie Sharp's.

[00:52:46] Uh.

[00:52:46] Fiery Hot Habanero Pepper Sauce.

[00:52:50] This one looks pretty interesting.

[00:52:51] It kinda looks like a sriracha.

[00:52:53] Uh.

[00:52:54] We got.

[00:52:54] Belizean.

[00:52:55] Belizean.

[00:52:56] Heat.

[00:52:57] Habanero Pepper Sauce.

[00:52:59] Which has.

[00:53:00] Four hot peppers.

[00:53:02] Uh.

[00:53:02] Sweet Habanero Pepper Sauce.

[00:53:04] That one has no hot peppers.

[00:53:06] So it might just be.

[00:53:08] It looks pretty decent.

[00:53:10] It looks.

[00:53:10] It's yellow.

[00:53:12] Um.

[00:53:13] And then we have.

[00:53:16] Grapefruit Pulp Habanero Pepper Sauce.

[00:53:19] I don't.

[00:53:20] Oh dear.

[00:53:20] I am not excited for that one.

[00:53:22] Grapefruit Pulp.

[00:53:23] Grapefruit Pulp.

[00:53:25] Right.

[00:53:26] Okay.

[00:53:26] So do you wanna start with the hottest one or work our way up?

[00:53:29] Let's work our way up.

[00:53:30] So do you wanna start with grapefruit or sweet pepper?

[00:53:32] Grapefruit.

[00:53:33] Let's get it out of the way.

[00:53:34] Okay.

[00:53:35] Gimme gimme.

[00:54:12] We're gonna chew it extra loud.

[00:54:14] Crunch for will.

[00:54:15] For will.

[00:54:16] Yeah.

[00:54:19] Uh.

[00:54:21] Mm.

[00:54:22] You don't like it?

[00:54:25] I don't know.

[00:54:26] You don't know?

[00:54:28] Why?

[00:54:28] What are you feeling?

[00:54:31] Ahem.

[00:54:32] Ahem.

[00:54:33] Ahem.

[00:54:34] What are you feeling?

[00:54:35] That's not a feeling.

[00:54:37] It doesn't taste very grapefruit-y to me.

[00:54:39] What's it taste like?

[00:54:40] I'm just hot.

[00:54:43] She's drinking.

[00:54:44] Sorry.

[00:54:45] I needed a sip.

[00:54:46] Um.

[00:54:48] Well.

[00:54:49] Maybe I'm getting a little bit of grapefruit now.

[00:54:52] Not much.

[00:54:54] I don't know.

[00:54:56] Mm.

[00:54:58] That's not bad.

[00:54:59] No.

[00:55:00] I don't.

[00:55:02] I don't know.

[00:55:03] That's too much.

[00:55:04] You put way too much on there.

[00:55:05] Yeah.

[00:55:06] I put a lot of mine too.

[00:55:06] Yeah.

[00:55:07] Please don't do that again.

[00:55:09] Shit.

[00:55:10] Um.

[00:55:12] That is.

[00:55:14] It just tastes like a hot sauce.

[00:55:15] It doesn't.

[00:55:16] There's nothing like.

[00:55:16] There's nothing grapefruit-y there.

[00:55:18] Not really.

[00:55:19] No.

[00:55:19] It doesn't have anything going on.

[00:55:20] Mm-mm.

[00:55:21] Okay.

[00:55:22] That's not.

[00:55:23] That's not very.

[00:55:25] Have you told me grapefruit?

[00:55:27] No.

[00:55:28] But I do feel a lot of acid.

[00:55:30] Yeah.

[00:55:31] It's just like a normal ass hot sauce.

[00:55:34] It almost reminds me of the Giardiniera.

[00:55:38] Heat.

[00:55:38] I don't know.

[00:55:40] Is that weird?

[00:55:40] Uh.

[00:55:41] You get that at all?

[00:55:42] I can see that a little bit.

[00:55:46] I mean, it's not bad.

[00:55:48] No.

[00:55:49] Oh.

[00:55:49] Oh, shit.

[00:55:50] That one's jelly.

[00:55:51] Oh.

[00:55:52] Oh.

[00:55:52] Oh, no.

[00:55:53] Oh, no.

[00:55:54] Interesting.

[00:55:54] Jelly.

[00:55:55] Oh, no.

[00:55:58] It's not bad.

[00:55:58] I just.

[00:55:59] If you told me this is grapefruit, I wouldn't.

[00:56:03] I wouldn't.

[00:56:04] If you didn't tell me this is grapefruit, I would just think it's just a regular ass hot sauce.

[00:56:07] That one is awesome.

[00:56:08] Yeah.

[00:56:09] That one's like a pepper jelly.

[00:56:10] I fucking love pepper jelly.

[00:56:12] Give me a biscuit with some melted cheese sausage and put that shit on it.

[00:56:17] Hell fucking yes.

[00:56:19] Give me some good charcuterie.

[00:56:21] Not that cheap shit we bought a couple weeks ago.

[00:56:23] Put that shit on it.

[00:56:24] It wasn't cheap shit.

[00:56:25] It just got cold and hot and cold.

[00:56:27] Yeah.

[00:56:27] It just wasn't great.

[00:56:28] I want better cheeses, you know?

[00:56:31] You put a lot on that.

[00:56:32] Holy crap.

[00:56:33] It was very good, though.

[00:56:34] It was very spicy?

[00:56:35] No.

[00:56:35] It was very good.

[00:56:36] I love it.

[00:56:39] I just really want a good charcuterie and wine date night.

[00:56:44] Like, that was a bad charcuterie, but we could have better, you know?

[00:56:48] Get some manchego.

[00:56:50] Get some of that funky cheese that we saw on Alex.

[00:56:54] I can't remember what it was called.

[00:56:56] That French cheese?

[00:56:57] Yeah.

[00:56:57] I put it in the group chat.

[00:56:58] We're not in our chat.

[00:57:03] I really like that.

[00:57:04] That's very good.

[00:57:05] Very, very good.

[00:57:07] Did you say the name of it?

[00:57:09] This is the sweet habanero pepper sauce.

[00:57:12] I really like pepper jelly.

[00:57:14] I love pepper jelly.

[00:57:15] I hate scooping it out of the container.

[00:57:18] Yeah.

[00:57:18] It's a pain in the ass to get the pepper jelly out.

[00:57:20] Yeah.

[00:57:21] This being in a bottle, perfect.

[00:57:23] That's great.

[00:57:24] That is really good.

[00:57:25] Very, very, very good.

[00:57:26] I really like that.

[00:57:26] You know what we should have?

[00:57:28] We should have pimento burgers with pepper jelly.

[00:57:33] That'd be so good.

[00:57:36] So good.

[00:57:38] What time?

[00:57:38] It's two.

[00:57:39] Damn.

[00:57:40] What?

[00:57:40] Because we have a bunch of patties in the freezer.

[00:57:43] But they're frozen.

[00:57:43] Yeah.

[00:57:44] That's the problem.

[00:57:45] They're frozen.

[00:57:46] Yeah.

[00:57:49] Oh, no.

[00:57:51] I'm scared.

[00:57:52] I'm very scared.

[00:57:53] That's a lot.

[00:57:54] This is mine.

[00:57:55] Oh, okay.

[00:57:56] This is the habanero pepper sauce.

[00:57:59] Oh, God.

[00:58:00] Just straight up habanero pepper sauce.

[00:58:01] Don't eat it yet.

[00:58:02] Keep talking.

[00:58:02] Okay.

[00:58:03] I'm just going to pour.

[00:58:04] I'm very scared.

[00:58:07] I'm very, very, very scared.

[00:58:08] Oh, here you go.

[00:58:10] I haven't sniffed it yet.

[00:58:11] That is so fucking good.

[00:58:13] That is so good.

[00:58:15] Is it?

[00:58:15] Mm-hmm.

[00:58:16] Okay.

[00:58:17] I'm going to taste it.

[00:58:21] Oh, you are fucked, Karen.

[00:58:23] I am?

[00:58:24] Mm-hmm.

[00:58:27] This is...

[00:58:28] Mm.

[00:58:29] So in taco places...

[00:58:31] I like it.

[00:58:32] In Puerto Rico...

[00:58:32] Uh-huh.

[00:58:33] They have a hot sauce that I've been looking for always.

[00:58:38] And this is it.

[00:58:39] Yeah.

[00:58:40] Because I always think...

[00:58:42] Don Paco.

[00:58:43] No, not Don Paco.

[00:58:45] Don Paco didn't have that.

[00:58:46] Mm-mm.

[00:58:47] No?

[00:58:47] Like, there's a place called Los Mariachi.

[00:58:51] They make, like, these little tacos.

[00:58:53] It's like mashed potatoes and then chicken.

[00:58:55] And then they give you a hot sauce like this.

[00:58:57] It's thinner.

[00:58:58] Mm-hmm.

[00:58:58] It's more runny.

[00:58:59] Oh, that's hot.

[00:59:00] Oh, oh.

[00:59:01] But it's this exact flavor.

[00:59:03] Mm.

[00:59:04] Wow.

[00:59:04] That really radiates.

[00:59:05] That's really good.

[00:59:06] Oh.

[00:59:06] I'm gonna start using this in our food and cooking.

[00:59:09] Okay.

[00:59:10] Trying to kill me.

[00:59:12] Ooh.

[00:59:12] Ooh, give me a chip.

[00:59:13] The shippers.

[00:59:14] Oh, boy.

[00:59:16] Mm.

[00:59:16] Okay.

[00:59:16] What's the last one?

[00:59:18] The worst one.

[00:59:19] Mm.

[00:59:21] Belizean heat.

[00:59:22] Oh, okay.

[00:59:24] Okay.

[00:59:25] I can do this.

[00:59:27] Let's see where we're at.

[00:59:29] Where we are.

[00:59:31] Oh.

[00:59:32] That does not smell good.

[00:59:33] Uh-oh.

[00:59:34] Let me smell it.

[00:59:35] Let me smell.

[00:59:38] Oh, no.

[00:59:39] Oh, no.

[00:59:40] That smells like pain.

[00:59:41] Oh, yeah.

[00:59:42] Ooh.

[00:59:43] Oh.

[00:59:44] Here we go.

[00:59:45] Let me just eat my cracker.

[00:59:46] We've cleaned my palate.

[00:59:55] That actually tastes really good.

[00:59:57] Yeah?

[00:59:58] Yeah.

[00:59:59] I'm scared.

[01:00:00] Tastes really good.

[01:00:00] I don't know about the fire yet.

[01:00:07] What's it taste?

[01:00:08] Mm.

[01:00:09] Mm.

[01:00:11] Mm.

[01:00:13] Mm.

[01:00:13] Mm.

[01:00:16] It's very bright.

[01:00:18] Oh.

[01:00:18] Oh.

[01:00:19] Mike, the fires of Mount Doom.

[01:00:21] Mm.

[01:00:22] Mm.

[01:00:22] Oh, wow.

[01:00:23] Mm.

[01:00:24] Oh.

[01:00:25] Yeah.

[01:00:28] I feel like there's jalapeno seeds in that.

[01:00:33] Uh, maybe habanero seeds.

[01:00:35] Oh.

[01:00:37] I'm gonna eat this cracker.

[01:00:39] Cleanse my palate.

[01:00:40] Keep talking.

[01:00:40] Um, so I'm looking at the nutrition facts on it.

[01:00:44] The serving size is one teaspoon.

[01:00:47] Wow.

[01:00:48] And, uh, the only thing it has listed is sodium.

[01:00:54] Everything else is zero percent.

[01:00:57] Oh, okay.

[01:00:58] Give me that pepper jelly back, bitch.

[01:01:00] Mm.

[01:01:01] Mm-mm.

[01:01:01] Mm-mm.

[01:01:02] Mm-mm.

[01:01:03] Mm-mm.

[01:01:04] Mm-mm.

[01:01:04] Mm-mm.

[01:01:04] Mm-mm.

[01:01:04] It tasted good.

[01:01:05] Then it started burning my tongue.

[01:01:06] What the fuck?

[01:01:07] It burns.

[01:01:09] Like, it burn, burn, burns.

[01:01:12] So it's, it's a good sauce.

[01:01:15] It's very.

[01:01:16] Ooh.

[01:01:18] Shit.

[01:01:19] What the fuck?

[01:01:22] Yeah, this is not a good pain.

[01:01:24] Oh.

[01:01:25] No, it's not.

[01:01:26] It wasn't worth it.

[01:01:27] Mm-mm.

[01:01:28] Mm-mm.

[01:01:29] Mm-mm.

[01:01:30] And we got worse sauces to have.

[01:01:32] Why would you put more hot sauce in your mouth?

[01:01:35] Because it is sweet.

[01:01:37] But you need us fat, not sweet.

[01:01:40] Shut up.

[01:01:40] You know nothing.

[01:01:42] Ah!

[01:01:43] I'm a pain.

[01:01:45] So this one says,

[01:01:47] you must be strong to handle this sauce.

[01:01:51] Keep out of reach of children.

[01:01:53] Ha, ha, ha, ha.

[01:01:54] Avoid contact with eyes or skin.

[01:01:57] Mm.

[01:01:57] Got water?

[01:01:58] Do not play tricks on the weak or elderly with this sauce.

[01:02:02] Wow.

[01:02:04] Wow.

[01:02:05] Mm.

[01:02:06] Yeah.

[01:02:06] No.

[01:02:07] Don't care for that.

[01:02:08] Mm-mm.

[01:02:09] You say you like it hot?

[01:02:10] Well, here's the challenge that will prove it.

[01:02:13] Or not.

[01:02:14] Especially when blended.

[01:02:16] For devoted heat.

[01:02:18] Seekers with great taste.

[01:02:20] It does have really good taste.

[01:02:22] Oh, no.

[01:02:22] I got hot sauce all over my sweatshirt.

[01:02:24] Oh, no.

[01:02:26] Go burn it.

[01:02:26] What the hell?

[01:02:28] Great for cooking.

[01:02:29] Flavor soups, sauces, and stir fries.

[01:02:32] Or add boiled water for rice.

[01:02:33] Boiled water.

[01:02:34] Or seafood.

[01:02:35] Add to boiled water.

[01:02:36] Mm.

[01:02:37] So.

[01:02:38] Damn.

[01:02:39] Oh.

[01:02:41] Okay.

[01:02:42] So, ranking them, I'm thinking.

[01:02:45] Pepper jelly!

[01:02:47] Last, Brazilian heat.

[01:02:49] Yes.

[01:02:53] As much as I, I think it's just a regular ass hot sauce.

[01:02:58] Grapefruit.

[01:02:58] Grapefruit.

[01:02:59] Next to last.

[01:03:03] This habanero pepper sauce, second.

[01:03:06] Mm-hmm.

[01:03:06] And then sweet habanero, number one.

[01:03:10] Yes, that was delicious.

[01:03:11] Would you agree?

[01:03:12] Yes, definitely.

[01:03:14] Mm.

[01:03:15] I am out of water.

[01:03:16] Holy shit.

[01:03:22] I am boogie-ish.

[01:03:24] My nose is dripping.

[01:03:26] Mine too.

[01:03:28] Oh.

[01:03:29] Oh.

[01:03:30] Okay.

[01:03:31] We made it to an hour recapping our lives.

[01:03:34] Okay, I need to do something about this heat.

[01:03:36] Give me a second.

[01:03:38] Ooh, much better.

[01:03:41] I'm eating ice cream.

[01:03:42] Yeah.

[01:03:44] That one, that should blew up my palate.

[01:03:46] Yeah, that was rough.

[01:03:48] Yeah.

[01:03:48] I'm serious about those pimento cheeseburgers.

[01:03:51] We could do that tomorrow.

[01:03:52] We need to get my office calling me.

[01:03:55] I could run to the store and get buns.

[01:03:56] We love you all very, very much.

[01:03:59] Thank you for missing us.

[01:04:00] We missed you too.

[01:04:40] Yeah.

[01:04:40] Give me another spoonful of that ice cream.

[01:04:42] No, it's mine.
