WEBVTT 00:00:25.707 --> 00:00:29.347 Hello, and welcome to the Salt Cravings News Network. 00:00:29.627 --> 00:00:30.587 I'm Brianna Price. 00:00:30.767 --> 00:00:31.547 And I'm Clair. 00:00:31.787 --> 00:00:37.727 And today, our top story, caterpillars across the Pacific Northwest have become carnivorous. 00:00:39.107 --> 00:00:42.567 We go now to our reporter in the field, Clair. 00:00:43.327 --> 00:00:46.327 Clair, how would you say the situation is developing? 00:00:46.387 --> 00:00:53.227 Well, as you can see from the millions of caterpillars crawling on me and eating me alive, not great. 00:00:53.707 --> 00:01:01.087 Right, do you find that the caterpillars are generally attacking the populace or is it just you for some reason? 00:01:01.107 --> 00:01:02.967 It is just me for some reason. 00:01:03.947 --> 00:01:04.247 Okay. 00:01:04.267 --> 00:01:10.487 I don't know, there's millions of them and it's sort of like a tingly, you know when your leg go to sleep, but like whole body. 00:01:10.627 --> 00:01:12.347 Okay, well that's interesting. 00:01:12.407 --> 00:01:14.947 Are they able to pierce the flesh particularly well? 00:01:15.107 --> 00:01:17.827 They haven't made it through, oh, the first one just did. 00:01:17.847 --> 00:01:19.367 Oh, it's inside me now. 00:01:19.667 --> 00:01:20.687 Okay, all right. 00:01:21.427 --> 00:01:26.427 Well, with that in mind, I think that we will follow that story as it develops. 00:01:26.447 --> 00:01:27.207 Thank you, Clair. 00:01:27.387 --> 00:01:29.467 We will let you know when we need to hear from you next. 00:01:29.727 --> 00:01:30.747 I don't think he will. 00:01:32.767 --> 00:01:36.587 All right, our second story of the day is Cravings. 00:01:36.847 --> 00:01:42.347 As we know, there's been a developing situation on the fact that people have Cravings. 00:01:42.607 --> 00:01:45.027 Today, we have a number of Cravings. 00:01:45.367 --> 00:01:48.427 Our first Craving comes to us from Clair. 00:01:48.967 --> 00:01:52.687 This is not to be confused with the Clair who's being eaten by Caterpillars. 00:01:52.847 --> 00:01:53.887 This is a different Clair. 00:01:54.047 --> 00:01:56.267 Clair, could you tell us about your first Craving? 00:01:56.527 --> 00:01:57.227 Yeah. 00:02:02.867 --> 00:02:08.547 My first Craving, now it is kind of similar to being eaten alive by Caterpillars. 00:02:08.567 --> 00:02:09.367 Of course, of course. 00:02:10.427 --> 00:02:14.347 It is spicy food and it is spicy food. 00:02:18.507 --> 00:02:20.927 Can you link that to the Caterpillar? 00:02:20.947 --> 00:02:21.507 Don't worry. 00:02:21.527 --> 00:02:22.267 Okay, cool, thank you. 00:02:22.287 --> 00:02:27.547 So you know how spicy food give you the tingles in the belly almost like being eaten alive by Caterpillars? 00:02:27.827 --> 00:02:30.707 Yes, those experiences we all have experienced. 00:02:30.707 --> 00:02:33.227 Yeah, I mean, that's the goal, right? 00:02:33.247 --> 00:02:39.467 I just want a good spicy food that makes me feel like I'm being eaten alive by Caterpillars. 00:02:39.767 --> 00:02:40.707 That's your goal? 00:02:40.767 --> 00:02:43.767 That's your goal is to be eaten alive by Caterpillars? 00:02:43.967 --> 00:02:47.247 To feel like I'm being eaten alive by Caterpillars. 00:02:47.807 --> 00:02:49.147 If I'm not sweating, Right. 00:02:49.167 --> 00:02:54.967 If I'm not hurting, and if I don't wanna cry after the meal, was it even spicy? 00:02:55.387 --> 00:02:57.627 Why is this, why do you want this? 00:02:57.847 --> 00:02:58.847 Doesn't everybody? 00:02:59.367 --> 00:03:05.807 I, in my experience, I don't tend to, but I do understand in the theory how one could. 00:03:05.927 --> 00:03:09.567 You're saying that my subjective opinion isn't universal? 00:03:09.887 --> 00:03:16.647 It's true, your experiences are not universal, which is a weird thought that you and I have never had to think about before. 00:03:16.727 --> 00:03:17.627 Yeah. 00:03:17.847 --> 00:03:19.907 How should we address this craving for you? 00:03:20.007 --> 00:03:26.587 I just want to quickly ask you, what's some good spicy food that make me feel like I am beaten, eaten alive by Caterpillar? 00:03:27.607 --> 00:03:34.867 I mean, spicy sauces are great because when you get a spicy sauce, you're really just like getting more and more and more of it, you know? 00:03:34.987 --> 00:03:36.767 You can just put whatever you want in there. 00:03:36.787 --> 00:03:38.127 You can put whatever you want in there. 00:03:38.147 --> 00:03:44.027 You can make some Caterpillar Crunchies and then you can really, now you can eat the Caterpillar and you show that Caterpillar. 00:03:44.447 --> 00:03:48.627 Exactly, you show that Caterpillar who's boss and also maybe the Caterpillars are spicy. 00:03:48.647 --> 00:03:52.747 I mean, that could help with the whole carnivorous situation. 00:03:52.827 --> 00:03:57.067 Yeah, we can live in a world where it is eat or be eaten by Caterpillars. 00:03:58.627 --> 00:03:59.787 We certainly can. 00:04:00.027 --> 00:04:06.967 An interesting application of spicy food that I've seen is like spicy dessert food, spicy chocolate. 00:04:07.087 --> 00:04:10.267 You get that like chocolate with chilies or chocolate with other. 00:04:10.447 --> 00:04:11.587 Yeah, no, I've seen that. 00:04:11.647 --> 00:04:14.327 I've seen the like the Wasabi chocolate too. 00:04:14.907 --> 00:04:16.347 Oh God, Wasabi chocolate? 00:04:16.367 --> 00:04:17.087 Yeah, it's not. 00:04:17.207 --> 00:04:21.047 I mean, if you like the Wasabi chocolate, power to you, but. 00:04:21.067 --> 00:04:21.927 It's a lot. 00:04:21.947 --> 00:04:22.607 It's not good. 00:04:22.627 --> 00:04:23.467 It's not great. 00:04:23.487 --> 00:04:27.527 It just sort of tastes like putting a big thing of Wasabi in your mouth. 00:04:27.747 --> 00:04:28.727 Great, that's awesome. 00:04:28.747 --> 00:04:29.967 That sounds really fun. 00:04:30.127 --> 00:04:35.427 So in that case, do you think that spicy chocolate should be more explored? 00:04:35.507 --> 00:04:37.987 Oh yeah, I've had the chili chocolate as well. 00:04:38.167 --> 00:04:38.927 Definitely good. 00:04:39.027 --> 00:04:44.967 And I do want to like specify that there is a difference between Wasabi spicy and chili spicy. 00:04:44.967 --> 00:04:46.427 And I want chili spicy. 00:04:48.327 --> 00:04:51.207 What's the specific benefit of chili spicy? 00:04:51.847 --> 00:04:52.547 Capsaicin. 00:04:52.947 --> 00:04:55.467 Is that not the same case with Wasabi? 00:04:55.967 --> 00:04:59.247 I honestly never thought about it until this very second. 00:04:59.507 --> 00:05:00.327 I thought no. 00:05:00.687 --> 00:05:10.107 I am not familiar with the chemical structure of Wasabi or in fact the chemical structure of most foods, but I think you could theoretically make anything spicy, couldn't you? 00:05:10.267 --> 00:05:11.827 I mean, if you have a spicy sauce. 00:05:12.167 --> 00:05:14.707 It's true, if you have a spicy sauce, you can make anything spicy. 00:05:14.727 --> 00:05:16.847 If you dip your salad in spicy sauce. 00:05:17.107 --> 00:05:19.787 You could just have the salad salt in with the, you know. 00:05:19.807 --> 00:05:20.847 Spicy salad salt now. 00:05:20.867 --> 00:05:23.267 Spicy salad salt, spicy salad salt. 00:05:23.287 --> 00:05:25.907 Now this is where we're, this is where we gotta be. 00:05:27.547 --> 00:05:31.847 I think spicy salad salt, spicy salts in general are a really good idea. 00:05:32.067 --> 00:05:35.467 And hey, you could make them look like regular salt. 00:05:36.287 --> 00:05:42.007 And just make it very confusing for everyone in your home, being like, oh, can you pass the salt? 00:05:42.027 --> 00:05:44.067 And you're like, huh, sure. 00:05:45.907 --> 00:05:51.267 I think my first question would be like, why did you laugh when I asked you to pass the salt? 00:05:51.987 --> 00:05:54.007 No reason, ha, ha, ha. 00:05:56.267 --> 00:05:58.747 Oh yes, here's the salt, ha, ha. 00:05:58.767 --> 00:06:02.067 Why are you watching me intently while I eat and apply the salt? 00:06:02.327 --> 00:06:04.247 I mean, it's a salt craving. 00:06:04.347 --> 00:06:09.587 Really interested in watching you put that salt all over everything you're eating, ha, ha, ha. 00:06:12.847 --> 00:06:15.707 What's your favorite application of spicy? 00:06:15.927 --> 00:06:16.427 Chili. 00:06:16.627 --> 00:06:16.987 Yeah. 00:06:17.047 --> 00:06:20.667 I know it's pretty basic, but I just, I wanna go to a chili fest. 00:06:21.187 --> 00:06:21.607 Yeah? 00:06:21.687 --> 00:06:27.407 Yeah, I wanna eat a big bunch of different chilies in tiny bowls, little spoons of chilies. 00:06:27.727 --> 00:06:28.147 Nice. 00:06:28.167 --> 00:06:31.707 And just, which chili does the most damage? 00:06:31.927 --> 00:06:35.867 So you're not so much in this for, I like the taste of chilies, you're more- 00:06:35.887 --> 00:06:37.087 Oh, I love the taste of chilies. 00:06:37.107 --> 00:06:40.147 Okay, well, that's important, but it seems like significant- 00:06:40.167 --> 00:06:43.027 You can say no to beans and vegetables. 00:06:43.147 --> 00:06:45.847 I mean me, but I understand. 00:06:46.207 --> 00:06:51.107 So it is significantly about how much damage you can do to yourself, though. 00:06:51.347 --> 00:06:52.687 That is an important factor. 00:06:52.707 --> 00:06:56.747 It's like, how can I find the worst experience for myself? 00:06:56.967 --> 00:07:02.407 Specifically, how can I make my digestive tract wish that it was flipped inside out? 00:07:03.267 --> 00:07:05.847 And that's a good goal to shoot for. 00:07:05.967 --> 00:07:09.387 Yeah, just like really make your body feel like a mess. 00:07:09.747 --> 00:07:29.007 I don't usually, I mean, I maybe have a privilege here in that I don't need spicy food for my digestive tract to feel like a disaster because of the conditions that I have genuinely just make my stomach be in a lot of pain randomly sometimes from eating anything. 00:07:29.027 --> 00:07:30.167 Yeah, I'm really envious. 00:07:30.187 --> 00:07:31.767 That is a great privilege of yours. 00:07:31.787 --> 00:07:33.207 It is a great privilege of mine. 00:07:33.227 --> 00:07:35.747 And that's why I don't eat so much spicy food. 00:07:35.967 --> 00:07:45.607 It's definitely cause I never develop good tolerance for spicy food that I am constantly trying to build up, but I'm still in the process of building up because it's hard to eat spicy food. 00:07:45.807 --> 00:07:52.027 That said, I think one of my favorite types of spicy food is a lot of Indian food that is spicy. 00:07:52.027 --> 00:07:53.887 It's so tasty. 00:07:54.067 --> 00:08:03.727 A spicy curry is one of those things that makes me want to develop my tolerance for spicy food so I can eat more and more of it without being like, ah, my mouth is on fire. 00:08:04.447 --> 00:08:09.787 Definitely, I have this tolerance probably because of my father, who would always make us food. 00:08:09.807 --> 00:08:14.927 And he'd make us chilies, he'd make us curries, and he'd always give them a five-star heat rating. 00:08:14.947 --> 00:08:17.127 And it's like, this was the thing. 00:08:17.147 --> 00:08:18.327 This was the fun thing. 00:08:18.347 --> 00:08:20.667 It's like, ooh, this one's like a four-star. 00:08:20.687 --> 00:08:24.367 I'd be like, all right, we're gonna be sweating by the end of this. 00:08:25.267 --> 00:08:26.127 Let's get ready. 00:08:26.307 --> 00:08:27.887 Good memories, good food. 00:08:28.427 --> 00:08:30.927 And yeah, you have a big tolerance for spicy food. 00:08:30.947 --> 00:08:33.047 It can eat all the very good spicy food. 00:08:33.067 --> 00:08:34.767 Now I can eat whatever the frick I want. 00:08:34.827 --> 00:08:35.447 It's true. 00:08:35.467 --> 00:08:36.387 You can do that. 00:08:36.447 --> 00:08:42.887 I think the tolerance for spicy food in my house, I had an enabler in my mother who also was not into spicy food. 00:08:42.907 --> 00:08:43.707 That's fair. 00:08:43.727 --> 00:08:47.607 And so the two of us would just be like, ah, we're kind of good. 00:08:47.627 --> 00:08:51.507 Meanwhile, my father and my sister, mm, this could be spicier. 00:08:51.527 --> 00:08:52.627 Yeah, I don't know. 00:08:52.647 --> 00:08:55.787 Like, I just imagine in your household, it's like, this water's a little too warm. 00:08:55.807 --> 00:08:56.427 It's too spicy. 00:08:58.447 --> 00:09:01.407 Oh God, that would be about where my mother would be at. 00:09:01.427 --> 00:09:05.087 I didn't have to question a lot of, why do I have to eat this spicy food? 00:09:05.307 --> 00:09:07.427 Oh, my mom isn't, so I don't have to. 00:09:07.447 --> 00:09:09.247 I kind of want to bring this back. 00:09:09.687 --> 00:09:11.267 I want to solve this craving. 00:09:11.607 --> 00:09:13.867 How do you solve the craving of spicy food? 00:09:13.887 --> 00:09:16.507 I feel like there's a few routes we could go down. 00:09:16.527 --> 00:09:16.807 Yeah. 00:09:16.827 --> 00:09:21.307 I'm gonna, before we jump into anyone, I just want to lay them out. 00:09:21.407 --> 00:09:23.687 There's one, metal digestive tract. 00:09:24.507 --> 00:09:29.147 Just replace the whole digestive tract and you can go as spicy as you want. 00:09:29.967 --> 00:09:31.827 Number two, you get a friend. 00:09:32.067 --> 00:09:34.887 Maybe it's a robot friend, maybe it's a real friend. 00:09:34.987 --> 00:09:40.767 And you go and you eat spicy food together and you just get hotter and hotter food until one of you passes out. 00:09:41.087 --> 00:09:45.827 Now route three, you just eat a pepper and cry. 00:09:45.847 --> 00:09:48.687 All right, I'm not super down with route three. 00:09:48.727 --> 00:09:50.527 It sounds pretty hot, but pretty boring. 00:09:50.607 --> 00:09:59.387 But the other routes, I mean, I don't think the digestive track is necessarily the major problem for me at least for spicy food. 00:09:59.407 --> 00:10:00.287 I don't know about you. 00:10:01.367 --> 00:10:04.787 You know, the tongue also has something to say about spicy food. 00:10:04.807 --> 00:10:05.787 What about metal tongue? 00:10:06.967 --> 00:10:08.827 Then you can't taste it, what's the point? 00:10:08.847 --> 00:10:11.827 Well, then you program it to taste it, but still metal tongue. 00:10:11.847 --> 00:10:12.267 So it doesn't- 00:10:12.287 --> 00:10:16.927 So what you're saying, no, no, no, Clair, what your solution here is, is become an android. 00:10:17.147 --> 00:10:18.627 That's what you're saying here. 00:10:18.867 --> 00:10:20.887 And I need you to know that that is what you're saying. 00:10:21.007 --> 00:10:22.647 Become a spice-loving android. 00:10:23.067 --> 00:10:26.307 Become the world's first spice-pursuant android. 00:10:26.327 --> 00:10:28.367 I guess, yeah. 00:10:28.387 --> 00:10:36.187 I mean, that is a solution to just be like, I am an android and I am here to eat the world's spiciest food. 00:10:36.207 --> 00:10:41.127 I like the one about having a competition of spicy food until the first person passes out. 00:10:41.427 --> 00:10:45.307 It's kind of like taking shots, but you just take like spicy noodle challenge. 00:10:45.927 --> 00:10:47.027 Yeah. 00:10:47.047 --> 00:10:51.127 Oh, cause now I'm thinking about a drinking game, but instead of drinking, you eat spicy food. 00:10:51.607 --> 00:10:52.647 Yeah, I know exactly. 00:10:52.667 --> 00:10:53.707 That sounds super fun. 00:10:53.727 --> 00:10:55.487 That would actually be really fun. 00:10:55.627 --> 00:11:04.547 There are games out there where one of the things is like a chocolate version of Russian roulette where like everything is a normal chocolate except for one of them, which is excessively spicy. 00:11:04.607 --> 00:11:09.867 And I think that's a good idea, is just the spicy game. 00:11:10.107 --> 00:11:11.727 Welcome to the spicy games. 00:11:17.487 --> 00:11:17.847 Thanks. 00:11:18.207 --> 00:11:20.967 Do you want to give me a Craver? 00:11:20.987 --> 00:11:23.907 I would, well, I am the Craver. 00:11:24.027 --> 00:11:27.247 So I'm not going to give myself to you. 00:11:27.527 --> 00:11:38.867 We are in this together, but what we do, do, and the time, in the, in the, I know. 00:11:39.787 --> 00:11:42.847 We watch competitive video games. 00:11:43.587 --> 00:11:51.007 And not only do we do that, we often come up with lore for those competitive scenes of video games. 00:11:51.587 --> 00:11:56.847 Wait, so are you coming up with lore for the game or the gamers? 00:11:56.907 --> 00:11:58.347 Let me, yeah, for the gamers. 00:11:58.767 --> 00:12:01.887 So what I'm referring to is Smash Brothers. 00:12:01.907 --> 00:12:09.607 And what I'm referring to is the fact that the Smash Brothers Melee competitive scene has so much lore behind it. 00:12:09.987 --> 00:12:16.067 You look at the vocabulary, the terms, there are people called gods, there's the god slayer. 00:12:16.347 --> 00:12:21.647 There's like, competitive Melee is the pro wrestling of the e-sports world. 00:12:22.127 --> 00:12:28.047 The actual scene has issues and I have mixed feelings on everyone because that is how e-sports tends to go. 00:12:28.067 --> 00:12:30.407 It's how sports and a community. 00:12:30.607 --> 00:12:42.827 Yeah, but there's a lot of really interesting, there's not a whole lot of other competitive scenes that have the same level of like, where you can say a whole bunch of words and it means something to someone who's into it. 00:12:43.447 --> 00:12:44.647 I've never thought about this. 00:12:44.667 --> 00:12:46.827 Try to explain to someone like... 00:12:46.907 --> 00:12:49.127 How Mewtwo King is my favorite god. 00:12:49.227 --> 00:12:50.347 That's a sentence. 00:12:50.487 --> 00:12:52.087 Yeah, Mewtwo King is my favorite god. 00:12:52.107 --> 00:12:55.167 Also the scene totally changed when someone discovered wave dashing. 00:12:55.187 --> 00:12:56.567 Oh yeah, you know. 00:12:56.727 --> 00:12:59.447 I mean, Marsfair is my favorite fair. 00:12:59.767 --> 00:13:01.667 Marsfair is my favorite fair. 00:13:02.347 --> 00:13:03.847 This is the sort of thing, right? 00:13:03.867 --> 00:13:14.427 It's like, I love the gods, like PPMT and the Hungry Box, and how there's a controversy right now about whether wobbling should be allowed. 00:13:14.587 --> 00:13:17.307 Oh God, and also how Leffen is the worst. 00:13:17.667 --> 00:13:19.967 I mean, yeah, Leffen's always been the worst. 00:13:19.987 --> 00:13:21.307 That's not hard to understand. 00:13:21.327 --> 00:13:22.407 Leffen just sucks. 00:13:23.167 --> 00:13:27.387 I mean, it's, yeah, but this is the sort of thing that you get in the Smash Bros. 00:13:27.407 --> 00:13:31.467 scene that you don't necessarily get in other like Esports scenes that I've seen. 00:13:31.487 --> 00:13:37.287 You don't get this level of like, like there are two documentaries on the Smash Bros. 00:13:37.307 --> 00:13:37.847 scene. 00:13:37.867 --> 00:13:38.407 Wait, there are two? 00:13:38.427 --> 00:13:39.147 I've only seen one. 00:13:39.687 --> 00:13:45.687 Yeah, there was the original doc and I think that they made recently, there was a second one made that was more focused on the gods. 00:13:45.707 --> 00:13:51.827 Cause like the first one's more focused on the history with like Ken and like Isaiah, don't get hit. 00:13:51.847 --> 00:13:52.627 Just don't get hit. 00:13:52.647 --> 00:13:53.687 Just don't get hit. 00:13:53.907 --> 00:13:56.327 None of these words mean anything to no one. 00:13:56.347 --> 00:13:58.067 You're like, anyway. 00:13:58.067 --> 00:14:00.687 I mean, the rule of Smash is just don't get hit. 00:14:00.827 --> 00:14:01.187 Yeah. 00:14:01.207 --> 00:14:01.907 That's how you win. 00:14:01.927 --> 00:14:02.827 That is how you win. 00:14:02.847 --> 00:14:03.067 Yeah. 00:14:03.187 --> 00:14:04.027 Isaiah was right. 00:14:04.147 --> 00:14:05.087 Isaiah was right. 00:14:05.267 --> 00:14:10.967 And so what I'm craving is, cause I'm not super into the Smash Bros. 00:14:11.067 --> 00:14:12.287 scene anymore. 00:14:12.807 --> 00:14:17.847 So I'm craving new like competitive video game lore. 00:14:18.067 --> 00:14:20.087 I'm craving new e-sports lore. 00:14:20.627 --> 00:14:21.567 Definitely same. 00:14:21.587 --> 00:14:23.167 I've thought about this a lot recently. 00:14:23.187 --> 00:14:23.507 Yeah. 00:14:23.727 --> 00:14:28.747 I did not realize that Smash was like the only scene in e-sports that had this. 00:14:28.767 --> 00:14:30.567 I thought everything had this. 00:14:30.587 --> 00:14:33.407 I like, I don't know, StarCraft 3 is not the game. 00:14:33.627 --> 00:14:34.667 StarCraft 2, I think. 00:14:35.087 --> 00:14:38.207 I thought every e-sports thing had its own sort of thing. 00:14:38.407 --> 00:14:45.747 I was only into the Smash one in high school and early university, because I had time to be into it. 00:14:45.887 --> 00:14:56.567 There are famous players of certain games and controversies and drama, but no one really does it to the extent that Smash Brothers Melee scene does it. 00:14:56.587 --> 00:14:58.787 The other Smash games don't even do it to the same extent. 00:14:59.467 --> 00:15:03.267 I think one thing for me is every year, Melee gets older, of course. 00:15:03.987 --> 00:15:11.167 Every year, I get less and less interested in watching like Melee competitions because I mean, we have Smash Ultimate now. 00:15:11.547 --> 00:15:18.127 All I wanna watch is Inkling kick the shit out of, what is the dog villager, or Isabel? 00:15:18.307 --> 00:15:18.827 Isabel. 00:15:18.827 --> 00:15:19.327 Isabel? 00:15:20.367 --> 00:15:21.987 Her hair is Isabel. 00:15:22.527 --> 00:15:25.227 I just wanna watch Inkling kick the shit out of Isabel. 00:15:25.247 --> 00:15:28.107 I wanna watch Isabel kick the shit out of Inkling. 00:15:28.227 --> 00:15:28.647 Okay. 00:15:29.047 --> 00:15:31.927 This is just us being us about our maids. 00:15:32.287 --> 00:15:44.647 Anyway, so my question is, one of the things about Melee that it has going for it is that it is such an old game, and therefore has had time to develop a scene, and also it has a little bit of nostalgia and stuff. 00:15:44.887 --> 00:15:52.467 And so what old game are we bringing back so that we can establish some e-sports competitive lore? 00:15:52.607 --> 00:15:53.827 See, this is hard. 00:15:54.207 --> 00:15:57.287 It has to, wait. 00:15:57.687 --> 00:16:02.467 It has to be some sort of game with like a competitive aspect at the forefront, right? 00:16:02.467 --> 00:16:06.467 Like, oh, do you have an idea? 00:16:06.487 --> 00:16:13.667 It's like real bad, but can you just imagine like Pokemon Stadium, the original Pokemon Stadium? 00:16:13.787 --> 00:16:21.907 But they just like dub over the announcer, and it's like, oh my God, they used a flamethrower. 00:16:24.927 --> 00:16:27.007 It's not even intense too. 00:16:27.067 --> 00:16:27.627 It's not. 00:16:27.647 --> 00:16:37.647 So they have to, that's another thing about like, if you ever watch competitive Smash, but there's no commentator, it's about 10 times less interesting because that's how you get into it. 00:16:37.667 --> 00:16:39.567 What they're starting is they'll comment on it. 00:16:39.587 --> 00:16:43.867 They'll say the words and you will eventually understand it by context claims. 00:16:44.187 --> 00:16:47.687 But if they didn't have it, you'd just be watching these really fast games. 00:16:47.687 --> 00:16:54.327 These, maybe at the very height of the moments, like last stock, like everyone has one stock and it's like you're at high damage. 00:16:54.427 --> 00:17:05.147 Like maybe those would still be intense moments, but if you don't have those commentators, like they get so intense at those moments and I've definitely felt my energy go up, like aging on those moments. 00:17:05.147 --> 00:17:06.807 And it's all about the commentators. 00:17:06.927 --> 00:17:13.107 Yeah, like one of the best examples of this, I think, and maybe I'll link this in the description or something. 00:17:13.727 --> 00:17:29.767 It's like a minute long because it is, the player acts like four stocking SilentWolf in less than a minute, which is so like on its own, it is funny, but the commentators make it so intense in terms of like, is he gonna do it in under a minute? 00:17:29.907 --> 00:17:31.027 Is he gonna do it in under a minute? 00:17:31.047 --> 00:17:38.027 And it's very funny, but it's also like, you're just like wanting him to four stock this other player in less than a minute. 00:17:38.367 --> 00:17:42.947 And stuff like that is what commentators really are good for. 00:17:42.967 --> 00:17:45.007 So I think Pokemon Stadium you could do that with. 00:17:45.307 --> 00:17:49.927 Maybe, what if there was a game that's a little more movement heavy, a little more heavy. 00:17:49.947 --> 00:17:51.227 Yeah, I think so. 00:17:51.247 --> 00:17:51.967 I think like- 00:17:52.307 --> 00:17:53.527 Competitive Wii Fit. 00:17:56.727 --> 00:17:58.647 Competitive Wii Fit would be excellent. 00:17:58.847 --> 00:18:00.647 I don't know how you would do that competitively. 00:18:00.667 --> 00:18:06.087 You each have a balance board and the first one to like move a millimeter loses. 00:18:08.247 --> 00:18:15.047 And we'll call them the Zen Gods when there's like immediately like the best ones, the ones that just become like stone. 00:18:16.547 --> 00:18:17.227 I like that. 00:18:17.447 --> 00:18:27.787 We could just go do some Olympic stuff and have Wii Sports Resort, like competitions for all of these different like games within Wii Sports Resort. 00:18:27.867 --> 00:18:32.767 So you specialize like, oh, this is the last year's shot put champion. 00:18:32.787 --> 00:18:38.187 Yeah, or like, hi, I'm the sword fighting champion versus like the biking champion. 00:18:38.207 --> 00:18:40.407 Do we just have like eSports Olympics? 00:18:40.727 --> 00:18:41.907 The eOlympics. 00:18:41.927 --> 00:18:42.607 The eOlympics. 00:18:42.627 --> 00:18:43.747 This is actually way more fun. 00:18:43.747 --> 00:18:45.307 Okay, what is in the eOlympics? 00:18:45.327 --> 00:18:46.107 We need the list. 00:18:46.307 --> 00:18:50.387 So Wii Sports Resort, all of those games can be different Olympic sports. 00:18:50.407 --> 00:18:54.167 Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, obviously. 00:18:54.167 --> 00:18:56.607 I think Melee gets a spot in the Olympics. 00:18:57.727 --> 00:19:00.687 I'm really glad that Melee is now in the Olympics. 00:19:00.687 --> 00:19:02.267 Melee in the Olympics. 00:19:02.287 --> 00:19:05.707 Yeah, you gotta have the classics, Tekken, Street Fighter. 00:19:05.727 --> 00:19:07.867 Yeah, Tekken, Street Fighter, Mario Kart. 00:19:09.067 --> 00:19:09.867 That one's fun. 00:19:09.967 --> 00:19:15.007 And in general, I think those, a lot of Nintendo games are fun because you've gotta come up with an Olympic ruleset. 00:19:15.447 --> 00:19:18.147 Does your Olympic Mario Kart have items? 00:19:18.447 --> 00:19:18.767 No. 00:19:19.047 --> 00:19:20.447 Yeah, no, it has to. 00:19:20.467 --> 00:19:21.547 It's only blue shells. 00:19:21.747 --> 00:19:23.647 It's only, oh, that's nasty. 00:19:23.907 --> 00:19:25.707 And it's 1v1 only. 00:19:26.107 --> 00:19:27.827 Lord, hell. 00:19:27.847 --> 00:19:29.567 That's hell is what you're describing. 00:19:29.587 --> 00:19:29.887 Yeah. 00:19:30.107 --> 00:19:33.087 You can have like Pokemon in there. 00:19:33.107 --> 00:19:33.447 Sure. 00:19:33.547 --> 00:19:36.107 I mean, I don't even know what Pokemon game you go for. 00:19:36.267 --> 00:19:37.287 Pokken. 00:19:37.307 --> 00:19:38.547 You don't have Tekken, actually. 00:19:38.567 --> 00:19:39.487 You just have Pokken. 00:19:39.507 --> 00:19:40.127 I love that. 00:19:40.387 --> 00:19:41.907 We're really going Nintendo heavy. 00:19:41.927 --> 00:19:44.947 Let's think about things that literally anyone else has done. 00:19:44.967 --> 00:19:48.427 Oh, competitive Indie, the Indie Olympics. 00:19:48.727 --> 00:19:49.927 The Indie Olympics. 00:19:49.947 --> 00:19:51.847 We've already created a second version. 00:19:53.627 --> 00:20:00.767 I mean, maybe you just have an Indie slot and you have whatever Indie game would be good for that slot. 00:20:01.107 --> 00:20:02.327 It changes every year. 00:20:02.347 --> 00:20:05.607 I think the Indie Olympics is like a rotational Olympics. 00:20:05.607 --> 00:20:06.967 I think it is, I think it is. 00:20:06.987 --> 00:20:11.847 And I think the best Indie Olympians, they are the most versatile gamers. 00:20:11.867 --> 00:20:19.327 Yeah, you probably don't give them that much time to practice, because you have to decide what's the Indie Olympic game this year. 00:20:19.347 --> 00:20:21.427 Yeah, I think you get a week to practice. 00:20:21.767 --> 00:20:28.427 And so this is like, if you want to be an Indie God, you have to like be into the Indie scene. 00:20:28.507 --> 00:20:29.287 You really do. 00:20:29.307 --> 00:20:30.707 You have to be good at every game. 00:20:30.727 --> 00:20:32.127 You do, you have to be good at every game. 00:20:32.367 --> 00:20:37.607 Hey, you know what has a surprisingly like intense, not competitive scene? 00:20:40.087 --> 00:20:44.527 Oh, let me put my idea on the back burner because tell me about competitive Stardew. 00:20:45.067 --> 00:20:50.987 All right, so you have one year to make as much money as possible. 00:20:51.167 --> 00:20:54.727 This is awesome because it's like, that's a long amount of time in game. 00:20:54.747 --> 00:21:00.727 That's like a marathon type like event because you're just playing Stardew and you have a year. 00:21:00.747 --> 00:21:04.667 It's a battle of stamina and like one wrong move. 00:21:04.867 --> 00:21:07.847 And also I think the other important detail is like, there's no pausing. 00:21:07.967 --> 00:21:08.907 Like it's that. 00:21:08.947 --> 00:21:10.647 If you pause like somehow. 00:21:10.667 --> 00:21:11.767 You can't stop time. 00:21:11.807 --> 00:21:12.407 Exactly. 00:21:12.427 --> 00:21:13.287 You cannot stop time. 00:21:13.307 --> 00:21:13.727 You cannot stop time. 00:21:14.007 --> 00:21:15.467 It's just common, you know? 00:21:15.567 --> 00:21:15.887 Yeah. 00:21:16.027 --> 00:21:19.007 I would also like to suggest civilization. 00:21:19.407 --> 00:21:24.347 Watching people play Civ multiplayer is just like, it's a lot. 00:21:24.367 --> 00:21:25.047 Is it fun? 00:21:25.387 --> 00:21:26.927 It's weird. 00:21:27.107 --> 00:21:28.267 It's really weird. 00:21:28.287 --> 00:21:31.727 It's like one of those Olympic sports that shouldn't be in there but is. 00:21:31.747 --> 00:21:36.867 Can you imagine the commentators like, Oh my God, Canada just dropped the bomb. 00:21:36.967 --> 00:21:37.947 Yeah, like that's it. 00:21:38.347 --> 00:21:40.707 We have someone taking, oh, he's taking a risk. 00:21:41.467 --> 00:21:42.627 Indian just destroyed Rome. 00:21:43.847 --> 00:21:45.447 Like, yeah, like this is it. 00:21:45.467 --> 00:21:46.107 This is it. 00:21:46.227 --> 00:21:48.247 That piece of art is so beautiful. 00:21:48.267 --> 00:21:49.787 That's so much culture. 00:21:49.827 --> 00:21:53.447 I know nothing about Civ except my osmosis. 00:21:53.707 --> 00:21:54.367 You are right. 00:21:54.387 --> 00:21:55.927 Those are Civ mechanics. 00:21:56.067 --> 00:21:57.087 It's just Sonic. 00:21:57.087 --> 00:21:58.767 I mean, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. 00:21:58.787 --> 00:21:59.387 They're there. 00:21:59.487 --> 00:22:01.307 Cause Sonic doesn't have any competitive games. 00:22:01.327 --> 00:22:06.607 I think you have to win a game of Mario and Sonic at the Olympics in order to qualify for the Olympics. 00:22:06.627 --> 00:22:07.967 It's just the base level. 00:22:07.987 --> 00:22:09.007 It's the base level. 00:22:09.007 --> 00:22:11.967 Can you win Mario and Sonic at the Winter Games? 00:22:11.987 --> 00:22:12.387 Yeah. 00:22:12.407 --> 00:22:15.407 If you can't do that, you don't even deserve a spot. 00:22:15.427 --> 00:22:17.007 You don't even deserve a spot. 00:22:17.107 --> 00:22:18.607 You know what's been taking up a lot? 00:22:18.867 --> 00:22:19.867 The Tetris. 00:22:20.227 --> 00:22:21.127 Tetris 99. 00:22:21.147 --> 00:22:23.827 Tetris 99, Battle Royale. 00:22:24.147 --> 00:22:27.407 I mean, Battle Royale's gotta be like, there's gotta be some Battle Royale. 00:22:27.427 --> 00:22:29.747 I mean, that's just what the Olympics is. 00:22:30.167 --> 00:22:31.887 The Olympics is a Battle Royale. 00:22:32.167 --> 00:22:34.167 Does that mean we have to have Fortnite in the Olympics? 00:22:34.187 --> 00:22:35.527 No, we'll have Apex Legends. 00:22:35.747 --> 00:22:36.487 Okay, cool. 00:22:36.647 --> 00:22:38.747 Apex Legends is in the Olympics. 00:22:39.227 --> 00:22:39.747 Great. 00:22:40.047 --> 00:22:41.927 I mean, no, no. 00:22:41.927 --> 00:22:45.827 I was about to say, does Overwatch get a spot, but they've already got their whole sports thing going on. 00:22:45.847 --> 00:22:51.947 Overwatch is a weird thing that they've literally modeled their esports league after a sports league. 00:22:52.127 --> 00:22:58.747 Like really, like they have like, you know, the Vancouver Titans, like that is an actual team. 00:22:59.027 --> 00:23:01.727 The Dallas, oh, I don't remember. 00:23:01.747 --> 00:23:02.167 Also Titans. 00:23:02.647 --> 00:23:05.967 The weird thing about Overwatch teams is they're all called the Titans. 00:23:05.987 --> 00:23:09.047 They're all called the Titans, but they're like, they represent different cities. 00:23:09.067 --> 00:23:09.427 Yeah. 00:23:09.467 --> 00:23:11.407 And like, It's the clash of the Titans. 00:23:11.447 --> 00:23:14.687 It's the clash of the, fuck you. 00:23:17.467 --> 00:23:18.887 You nailed it, you nailed it, you nailed it. 00:23:18.907 --> 00:23:21.167 Overwatch already has their whole professional thing going on. 00:23:21.387 --> 00:23:25.007 You know, it's like how we don't let hockey players in the Olympics. 00:23:25.307 --> 00:23:26.867 Yeah, exactly. 00:23:26.927 --> 00:23:29.667 I think that's a pretty good lineup for the Olympics. 00:23:30.327 --> 00:23:33.247 Would you like to give me a Craven? 00:23:34.767 --> 00:23:35.427 I guess so. 00:23:35.587 --> 00:23:37.207 I guess that's part of the podcast. 00:23:37.427 --> 00:23:39.787 I guess that it is, is the thing. 00:23:40.387 --> 00:23:43.647 So I just want to read you what I have written down for this one. 00:23:43.827 --> 00:23:46.487 But first I'm going to intro it a little bit. 00:23:46.767 --> 00:23:55.247 Do you know how in summer, one of the best liminal spaces to be in is at a playground at midnight? 00:23:55.387 --> 00:23:56.587 Yes, I know exactly what you mean. 00:23:56.707 --> 00:24:02.287 Great, so what I have written down is going to a playground at midnight when kids are all gone. 00:24:02.307 --> 00:24:15.447 And then what I want us to do is invent our dream playground with the restriction that kids have to be able to use it during the day and young adults, and I guess adults get to use it at night. 00:24:15.987 --> 00:24:17.407 Oh my God. 00:24:17.447 --> 00:24:18.747 What is on this playground? 00:24:19.187 --> 00:24:21.547 I mean, everyone loves a slide. 00:24:21.987 --> 00:24:23.567 We gotta have a slide. 00:24:24.527 --> 00:24:25.867 How many slides across is it? 00:24:25.887 --> 00:24:28.587 Cause you know you can have those double side by side slides. 00:24:28.767 --> 00:24:29.327 True. 00:24:29.347 --> 00:24:31.167 Or triple side by side slides. 00:24:31.187 --> 00:24:34.727 I like triple side by side slides. 00:24:35.367 --> 00:24:35.707 Yes. 00:24:36.087 --> 00:24:37.327 That's the new tongue twister. 00:24:37.447 --> 00:24:41.147 I like that having three row and then you can all just like, I don't know. 00:24:41.167 --> 00:24:42.787 You race, you hold hands down it. 00:24:42.807 --> 00:24:43.967 You race, you hold hands. 00:24:43.987 --> 00:24:46.567 Person's got two hands, two sides. 00:24:46.847 --> 00:24:56.207 Can we reinvent the slide so that people who weigh more than 10 pounds, God forbid, don't get stuck? 00:24:56.567 --> 00:25:00.687 Yeah, like it's gotta be a bigger, you know, it's gonna be bigger. 00:25:00.707 --> 00:25:01.607 I think it's slipperier. 00:25:01.627 --> 00:25:03.867 Slipperier and also like, you know, metal can be good. 00:25:03.887 --> 00:25:08.947 Can we not use that hard plastic that's like real bad and has too much friction? 00:25:08.967 --> 00:25:10.787 Yeah, I mean, I'm down with like metal. 00:25:11.047 --> 00:25:13.327 What if we just coat it in like a goo? 00:25:15.347 --> 00:25:18.407 Kids do have to be able to use this and I don't trust kids around goo. 00:25:18.867 --> 00:25:19.247 True. 00:25:20.987 --> 00:25:21.807 I really don't. 00:25:22.047 --> 00:25:26.687 I kind of want like a rock climbing wall as well. 00:25:26.707 --> 00:25:28.167 I think that could be real fun. 00:25:28.247 --> 00:25:30.527 And I think at the top of it, I think it's like thick. 00:25:30.547 --> 00:25:34.967 I think there's like a big cube and you can climb it from any side. 00:25:35.267 --> 00:25:38.487 And at the top, there's like another thing and you can just hang out on there. 00:25:38.967 --> 00:25:40.407 You can just hang out at the top of it. 00:25:40.427 --> 00:25:41.827 Is there any other way to get up there? 00:25:42.527 --> 00:25:45.947 I think there's a set of stairs if you're not feeling like rock climbing. 00:25:45.967 --> 00:25:46.347 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:25:46.347 --> 00:25:47.587 On one side of the cube. 00:25:47.607 --> 00:25:48.027 Yeah. 00:25:48.047 --> 00:25:48.907 The rock cube. 00:25:48.927 --> 00:25:49.627 The rock cube. 00:25:50.187 --> 00:25:50.927 I like that. 00:25:50.947 --> 00:25:51.647 I like that a lot. 00:25:51.667 --> 00:25:52.727 That's a good hangout spot. 00:25:52.747 --> 00:25:56.567 And makes kids feel, you know, cool being up high. 00:25:56.607 --> 00:25:56.927 Yeah. 00:25:56.927 --> 00:25:59.627 I mean, being up high is the coolest thing as a kid. 00:25:59.627 --> 00:26:00.507 It is the coolest thing. 00:26:00.527 --> 00:26:01.227 And as an adult. 00:26:01.447 --> 00:26:02.167 And as an adult. 00:26:02.187 --> 00:26:02.767 Yeah. 00:26:03.547 --> 00:26:13.007 I also want a tire swing, but I want specifically one of those tire swings that have the three chains that attach to the thing so it doesn't wrap around itself. 00:26:13.107 --> 00:26:15.267 And then you have to go back the other way eventually. 00:26:15.387 --> 00:26:15.707 Yeah. 00:26:15.707 --> 00:26:16.307 I like that. 00:26:16.327 --> 00:26:16.847 That's cool. 00:26:16.967 --> 00:26:18.607 Also it's safer for children. 00:26:18.847 --> 00:26:19.907 It is safer for children. 00:26:19.947 --> 00:26:25.827 And that's the point here is we want children to be safe and also for it to be useful for adults. 00:26:26.087 --> 00:26:30.167 I guess just as a disclaimer, there's mats around the rock wall. 00:26:30.187 --> 00:26:32.687 So when children eventually fall. 00:26:32.687 --> 00:26:34.167 Cause children will fall a lot. 00:26:34.187 --> 00:26:35.847 Children will definitely fall. 00:26:35.967 --> 00:26:37.727 I think that that's a good call. 00:26:37.907 --> 00:26:38.247 Yeah. 00:26:38.267 --> 00:26:40.427 I think generally we're talking about safety here. 00:26:40.567 --> 00:26:41.727 Like wood chips. 00:26:41.907 --> 00:26:43.087 Whose idea was that? 00:26:43.107 --> 00:26:43.767 Yeah, that was a bad idea. 00:26:43.787 --> 00:26:46.847 Whose idea was it to have wood chips on the bottom of playgrounds? 00:26:46.867 --> 00:26:50.027 Like, yes, I'm going to build this thing for children. 00:26:50.247 --> 00:26:54.427 Do you know what is great for children to fall on when they inevitably fall? 00:26:54.687 --> 00:26:55.647 Wood chips. 00:26:56.047 --> 00:27:02.667 I think whoever decided to put wood chips down was like, hmm, I wonder how many splinters children can contain. 00:27:02.747 --> 00:27:03.127 Yeah. 00:27:03.307 --> 00:27:10.147 I think another thing about child safety is we can't have trampolines cause trampolines are a disaster waiting to happen. 00:27:10.187 --> 00:27:17.527 But what if we have like those, a trampoline, like in those trampoline gyms where the floor is just a trampoline and there's no open edges? 00:27:17.607 --> 00:27:18.087 I like that. 00:27:18.487 --> 00:27:19.287 Yeah, I like that. 00:27:19.307 --> 00:27:19.867 Yeah. 00:27:20.067 --> 00:27:21.907 I like the idea of the trampoline floor. 00:27:21.927 --> 00:27:23.427 Yeah, that would be, that would be good. 00:27:23.447 --> 00:27:24.047 Oh, I got it. 00:27:24.227 --> 00:27:26.387 No wood chips, only trampoline floor. 00:27:26.467 --> 00:27:28.107 Trampoline floor! 00:27:30.087 --> 00:27:30.847 Now we're talking. 00:27:30.867 --> 00:27:31.007 Okay. 00:27:31.027 --> 00:27:31.547 Well, no, no, no. 00:27:33.227 --> 00:27:34.267 Well, okay. 00:27:34.287 --> 00:27:40.507 Well, not to be the child safety advocate, but we are building- 00:27:40.527 --> 00:27:43.687 Not to advocate for children's safety or anything. 00:27:43.807 --> 00:27:47.947 Not to be a buzzkill and advocate for child safety. 00:27:48.407 --> 00:27:49.067 Ugh. 00:27:49.127 --> 00:27:50.227 These damn SJWs. 00:27:50.267 --> 00:27:52.127 Tell them they're children. 00:27:53.147 --> 00:27:56.107 But we are building large, like metal structures. 00:27:56.367 --> 00:28:05.007 And I am not sold on children on trampolines, having the chance to, like as someone who injured herself on a trampoline as a child. 00:28:05.207 --> 00:28:09.307 Now, mind you, that was from falling outside of the trampoline onto my arm. 00:28:11.247 --> 00:28:14.027 Okay, well nets, the only trampolines I ever jumped on had nets. 00:28:14.667 --> 00:28:15.767 Oh, okay, cool. 00:28:16.367 --> 00:28:19.067 They were cool, because you could just jump into the net and you were fine. 00:28:19.087 --> 00:28:23.767 Yeah, I never had nets on any trampoline that I ever jumped on as a child. 00:28:23.787 --> 00:28:24.467 Let me tell you. 00:28:24.487 --> 00:28:25.467 It's not great. 00:28:25.487 --> 00:28:27.927 It's not great, it is pretty dangerous. 00:28:27.947 --> 00:28:29.887 I did sprain my arm pretty severely. 00:28:30.427 --> 00:28:32.267 So I think nets are a good idea. 00:28:32.267 --> 00:28:36.707 I think nets in general, because then you have a large variety of things you can do, right? 00:28:36.727 --> 00:28:39.747 Like you can get monkey bars if you have nets underneath. 00:28:39.767 --> 00:28:43.547 Do some circus stuff, because you've got a net underneath and so it's fine. 00:28:43.547 --> 00:28:44.427 I know what I want. 00:28:44.587 --> 00:28:44.927 What? 00:28:44.947 --> 00:28:52.407 You know those slidey things where you grab with your arms and then you go from one side to the other, you kick off and you just hold it and it slides? 00:28:53.007 --> 00:28:54.047 You know what I'm saying? 00:28:54.067 --> 00:28:56.367 No, I have no clue what you're saying. 00:28:56.387 --> 00:29:07.987 I don't know what the name for it is, but it's like Mission Impossible when you like go from one building to the other and you're holding on to the spy equipment and you're sliding it down on the net. 00:29:09.347 --> 00:29:10.327 Is that what it's called? 00:29:10.347 --> 00:29:13.627 But it's like it's flat and it has no angle to it and you have to kick off of it. 00:29:13.747 --> 00:29:19.127 I never, it was never in playgrounds when we were kids, but when you go to playgrounds now, almost all of them have them. 00:29:19.407 --> 00:29:22.347 I don't know if I've seen this, but I trust that it exists. 00:29:22.447 --> 00:29:40.187 There's also like those wheels that are at a slant and so you can like grab the wheel standing on the platform and then if you raise your feet up, you fall because it's slanted and you just have two kids going back and forth, but you're gonna have two adults. 00:29:40.207 --> 00:29:51.947 Also, you know, at a certain point, I think a lot of these are gonna be good for like exercise for adults and young adults and that's not the intended purpose necessarily for fun, but that's also just a nice benefit. 00:29:51.967 --> 00:29:53.027 And that makes me think- 00:29:53.047 --> 00:29:55.967 It's all fun and games until someone breaks a sweat. 00:29:58.027 --> 00:30:03.147 That makes me think, is there any gym equipment that is fun and appropriate for children? 00:30:03.467 --> 00:30:05.187 Yeah, heavy 200 pound weights? 00:30:05.927 --> 00:30:06.227 No. 00:30:06.947 --> 00:30:07.387 I mean- 00:30:08.367 --> 00:30:09.827 They're 200 foam pounds. 00:30:10.967 --> 00:30:12.727 What are foam pounds? 00:30:13.047 --> 00:30:15.327 What are foam pounds, Clair? 00:30:15.507 --> 00:30:17.747 Define a foam pound. 00:30:18.267 --> 00:30:21.887 Well, it's a pound, but it's made of foam. 00:30:22.447 --> 00:30:23.647 So it's still a pound. 00:30:23.767 --> 00:30:25.587 Yeah, but it's a foam pound. 00:30:27.527 --> 00:30:30.767 Yeah, but is it a kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feathers? 00:30:32.227 --> 00:30:33.827 Okay, I'm gonna veto that one. 00:30:33.907 --> 00:30:34.727 That's my veto. 00:30:34.747 --> 00:30:35.867 That's my veto on that one. 00:30:35.887 --> 00:30:37.047 Fair, it's a little big. 00:30:37.047 --> 00:30:38.427 It's a little big. 00:30:38.447 --> 00:30:40.547 Treadmills I also don't trust with children. 00:30:40.567 --> 00:30:46.367 Oh, but what if just moving platforms, like you know at airports where you have the skywalks? 00:30:47.527 --> 00:30:49.767 Okay, now I'm into it. 00:30:50.147 --> 00:30:52.827 But it's just like the perimeter moves around. 00:30:53.027 --> 00:30:54.267 Oh, that's really cool. 00:30:54.587 --> 00:30:56.127 You can use that as a treadmill. 00:30:56.327 --> 00:31:02.767 Or you can as any child would try and run against it as fast as possible to get to your starting point. 00:31:02.987 --> 00:31:03.967 That's a treadmill. 00:31:03.987 --> 00:31:05.087 Okay, but now it's a game. 00:31:05.247 --> 00:31:06.527 Oh, now it's a game. 00:31:06.547 --> 00:31:09.907 We're tricking the children into using treadmills. 00:31:10.687 --> 00:31:11.987 Ha ha, got them. 00:31:12.207 --> 00:31:13.447 Or you go the other way. 00:31:13.647 --> 00:31:16.087 That thing then has to be powered like all the time. 00:31:16.207 --> 00:31:17.267 Yeah, 24 hours. 00:31:17.367 --> 00:31:17.947 24 hours. 00:31:17.967 --> 00:31:19.567 Because it has to be on at midnight as well. 00:31:19.787 --> 00:31:23.767 I think it's slower just because adults, I mean, we don't want to run as fast. 00:31:24.307 --> 00:31:26.127 We really don't, really don't. 00:31:26.147 --> 00:31:27.907 Plus it saves power, that's our excuse. 00:31:28.467 --> 00:31:30.627 I mean, it could just be like solar power. 00:31:31.087 --> 00:31:31.967 Oh, heck yeah. 00:31:32.127 --> 00:31:32.787 It's solar power. 00:31:32.807 --> 00:31:34.947 This whole playground is solar powered. 00:31:34.947 --> 00:31:41.787 It's true, the whole playground is solar powered, and also we make it so the solar panels are not anywhere that children can ever be near. 00:31:41.827 --> 00:31:43.567 What else would you add to this playground? 00:31:43.587 --> 00:31:47.687 We got a slide, we got a rock wall, we got a big treadmill. 00:31:47.707 --> 00:31:49.087 We got the tire swing. 00:31:49.487 --> 00:31:50.327 Oh, swings. 00:31:50.467 --> 00:31:54.207 Yeah, like it's swings, but like you know how there was always... 00:31:54.967 --> 00:31:55.907 Okay, yes. 00:31:55.927 --> 00:31:57.207 Cause there's never enough swings. 00:31:57.227 --> 00:31:57.847 Never enough swings. 00:31:57.867 --> 00:32:06.327 And the other thing about swings was always that everyone was obsessed with getting overtop of the swing and swinging faster to do that. 00:32:06.507 --> 00:32:08.767 Do we allow that as an option? 00:32:09.007 --> 00:32:10.407 Is it possible to do that? 00:32:11.107 --> 00:32:11.467 Yeah. 00:32:11.487 --> 00:32:22.287 I think we put in protocols, like safety protocols even, like if you're above a certain thing, like it straps you in, like the chain harness so you're not gonna hit your head. 00:32:22.507 --> 00:32:24.127 You're going around now. 00:32:24.287 --> 00:32:25.327 You wanted this. 00:32:25.347 --> 00:32:26.227 Here it is. 00:32:26.687 --> 00:32:30.767 And a robot voice goes, sick protocol activated. 00:32:32.787 --> 00:32:34.187 Boosters launching. 00:32:34.687 --> 00:32:36.707 God, that's so cool. 00:32:36.727 --> 00:32:38.827 This would be the coolest shit as a kid. 00:32:39.047 --> 00:32:39.947 Can you imagine? 00:32:40.107 --> 00:32:43.587 Cause everyone's whole thing would be like, get me to the boost level, get me to the boost level. 00:32:43.607 --> 00:32:46.067 Boost me higher, boost me higher. 00:32:46.087 --> 00:32:47.047 Boost me higher. 00:32:48.387 --> 00:32:54.227 It's also great because you know how like children want like their parents or their friends to push them on the swing set. 00:32:54.447 --> 00:32:56.067 We got a robot to do it for you. 00:32:56.527 --> 00:32:58.227 You don't have to connect with your child. 00:32:58.447 --> 00:32:59.207 Don't worry. 00:32:59.527 --> 00:33:01.247 Just go play on your phone on the bench. 00:33:01.267 --> 00:33:03.607 The swing will do the job for you. 00:33:03.607 --> 00:33:05.227 Exactly, exactly. 00:33:05.247 --> 00:33:10.067 I think lookout points for parents is a really good idea. 00:33:10.087 --> 00:33:11.847 It's almost like a pirate ship. 00:33:12.027 --> 00:33:12.307 Yeah. 00:33:12.327 --> 00:33:14.167 Where you have your parent lookout point. 00:33:14.247 --> 00:33:17.687 God, you know how there are lifeguards at pools, but not at playgrounds? 00:33:18.327 --> 00:33:19.647 That's a good point. 00:33:19.887 --> 00:33:23.047 Like people get hurt on playgrounds all the time. 00:33:23.187 --> 00:33:24.367 I've never been hurt in a pool. 00:33:24.847 --> 00:33:25.427 It's not true. 00:33:26.287 --> 00:33:26.867 I'm lying. 00:33:26.887 --> 00:33:30.327 I mean, parents are sort of lifeguards. 00:33:30.647 --> 00:33:34.827 So yeah, you have your lifeguard zone for parents to come to. 00:33:35.027 --> 00:33:41.067 And it's gotta be easy to get up there because these are parents and they do not want to be climbing up. 00:33:41.067 --> 00:33:45.607 It's a really quick elevator so that you can get back down when your child inevitably does fall. 00:33:45.787 --> 00:33:46.207 Yeah. 00:33:46.327 --> 00:33:47.867 Oh, no, I got it. 00:33:47.927 --> 00:33:49.407 Oh, no, I know what you're gonna say. 00:33:49.427 --> 00:33:51.967 There's like a fire pole that you can slide down. 00:33:51.987 --> 00:33:54.327 Actually, that was so much better than what I thought you were gonna say. 00:33:54.407 --> 00:33:55.207 What did you think? 00:33:55.227 --> 00:33:58.087 I thought you were gonna get back on the trampoline kid. 00:33:58.607 --> 00:34:12.567 That's a good idea because my other idea was what if you just had tiny parachutes in the adult area that you could just like grab and jump off and now there's a trampoline at the bottom. 00:34:12.747 --> 00:34:16.747 Parents are too tired to learn how to operate a parachute. 00:34:17.247 --> 00:34:22.487 I'm not putting that responsibility on them, but I do like the idea of the fire pole. 00:34:23.047 --> 00:34:24.247 I do like that too. 00:34:24.267 --> 00:34:26.107 And there is a trampoline at the bottom. 00:34:26.107 --> 00:34:36.187 I think it also with the fire pole, it also does do like an alarm that you would get at a fire station, except it says child injured, child injured. 00:34:36.347 --> 00:34:39.247 And every parent who's out there has to be like, fuck, is it my kid? 00:34:39.607 --> 00:34:47.887 I think you put a little tracker on your child and if your child starts crying, your phone starts beeping, Daisy, it's your child this time. 00:34:48.027 --> 00:34:50.327 Get the parachute, slide down the pole. 00:34:50.567 --> 00:34:53.627 I mean, that's great because we're still designing the playground. 00:34:53.647 --> 00:34:58.087 What you're implying here is that the tracker is like something you put on the child as you come to the playground. 00:34:58.227 --> 00:34:58.667 Yeah. 00:34:58.687 --> 00:35:01.547 You make it look cute so the child doesn't want to like take it off or whatever. 00:35:01.567 --> 00:35:03.547 It's like a little flower, you put it in the hair. 00:35:03.567 --> 00:35:05.007 Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. 00:35:05.027 --> 00:35:14.807 Which is great because at midnight, because this is another requirement, the elevator is still in use and you can just jump off adult zone whenever you want. 00:35:14.967 --> 00:35:17.047 Yeah, okay, fair enough, fair enough. 00:35:17.267 --> 00:35:19.827 Is there anything else that goes in this playground? 00:35:20.727 --> 00:35:21.707 Wood chip bin. 00:35:21.987 --> 00:35:23.307 It's just, you don't use it. 00:35:23.467 --> 00:35:25.267 There's just a wood chip bin in the corner. 00:35:25.287 --> 00:35:26.527 It's like a memento. 00:35:26.947 --> 00:35:28.327 It's a memento to the past. 00:35:30.167 --> 00:35:31.727 It belongs in a museum. 00:35:32.527 --> 00:35:33.987 This was our history. 00:35:34.067 --> 00:35:36.667 And this is what we have to remember. 00:35:36.687 --> 00:35:39.927 This is where these great designs have led us. 00:35:40.347 --> 00:35:46.087 I would also like to say hamster ball, but you can't move around in it. 00:35:46.287 --> 00:35:48.487 Well, children can't, but if you're... 00:35:48.507 --> 00:35:53.207 It has child locks to run it from moving around, like the rest of the thing and bumping into people. 00:35:53.227 --> 00:35:54.587 So it's just a hamster wheel. 00:35:54.607 --> 00:35:55.627 But it isn't a ball. 00:35:55.667 --> 00:35:56.607 It's a hamster ball. 00:35:57.367 --> 00:35:58.827 It's like a hamster wheel, right? 00:35:58.867 --> 00:36:02.607 In that it's connected to somewhere when the children are playing on it. 00:36:02.747 --> 00:36:07.027 So the children can't have a hamster ball going around. 00:36:09.387 --> 00:36:12.167 But if an adult gets it at midnight, it's a whole other game. 00:36:12.187 --> 00:36:16.987 Yeah, there are locks that children can't do, but the adults can. 00:36:17.207 --> 00:36:19.687 And so they can go around and do whatever they want. 00:36:19.867 --> 00:36:21.907 I'm really excited to go play on this playground. 00:36:21.947 --> 00:36:23.287 So am I. 00:36:23.307 --> 00:36:24.647 It's gonna be a really good time. 00:36:24.767 --> 00:36:29.227 While we're playing on this playground, do you wanna give me a crave? 00:36:29.547 --> 00:36:32.187 I would love to give you a crave. 00:36:36.047 --> 00:36:42.067 So, I, as is, I think already clear from this podcast, am a huge fan of genres. 00:36:42.247 --> 00:36:43.027 I'm really into- 00:36:43.047 --> 00:36:45.527 I like things that are categorizable. 00:36:45.547 --> 00:36:51.047 Yeah, I mean, what I should say specifically is genre fiction and genre storytelling. 00:36:51.067 --> 00:36:55.307 Cause there's specific stuff that is not genre fiction that exists. 00:36:55.327 --> 00:36:57.967 And I'm really into messing with genre. 00:36:58.567 --> 00:37:11.947 I really like always have a craving to like take a genre and just like, just mess with it and like look at the tropes of the genre and be like, actually, we're doing something different and also combining genres together. 00:37:12.307 --> 00:37:14.707 So, Clair, let's take two genres. 00:37:15.527 --> 00:37:21.407 Let's combine them together and let's figure out what the story is that combines those two genres. 00:37:21.527 --> 00:37:23.207 I know, yeah, I know. 00:37:23.427 --> 00:37:25.887 Romance, murder mystery. 00:37:26.187 --> 00:37:27.587 All right, I'm into that. 00:37:27.867 --> 00:37:32.427 Is this like, is this like a noir type or a detective novel or is this a murder mystery? 00:37:32.447 --> 00:37:40.607 Well, I think we're gonna have to get into that because I do think, what if two people show up at the crime scene and fall in love? 00:37:40.627 --> 00:37:45.027 This has definitely been done in detective like novels and stories. 00:37:46.647 --> 00:37:48.867 But I like where you're going with it. 00:37:49.047 --> 00:37:56.007 Now I'm just thinking about the fact that like, it's like, who's gonna solve the crime first, but they're like fascinated by how good the other one is. 00:37:56.627 --> 00:37:59.407 I have, I have definitely heard this story. 00:37:59.427 --> 00:38:04.807 I think these are two genres that have been combined before, but I'm into... 00:38:05.987 --> 00:38:09.907 Give me two genres that haven't been combined before. 00:38:09.907 --> 00:38:14.667 My point is I think that that is a pretty standard, like part of noir fiction. 00:38:15.007 --> 00:38:19.327 My other detail is that I just want to combine another genre with it. 00:38:19.387 --> 00:38:20.507 Okay, okay, all right. 00:38:20.887 --> 00:38:22.207 And my other genre... 00:38:22.227 --> 00:38:23.987 Giant Mac, Giant Mac Robot. 00:38:24.087 --> 00:38:26.427 All right, we're there, we're there. 00:38:27.947 --> 00:38:31.987 I like, God, okay, so, okay, so it's Giant Mac. 00:38:32.007 --> 00:38:33.827 I think a Giant Mac got murdered. 00:38:34.147 --> 00:38:35.827 A Giant Mac got murdered. 00:38:35.847 --> 00:38:36.367 Yeah. 00:38:36.727 --> 00:38:40.007 Oh, and the pilot of the Giant Mac is trying to solve the murder. 00:38:40.047 --> 00:38:41.487 Yes. 00:38:41.727 --> 00:38:45.867 And is it like, God, what is that Giant Mac movie where there's two pilots? 00:38:46.087 --> 00:38:46.827 Pacific Rim? 00:38:46.847 --> 00:38:48.047 Yes, that one, thank you. 00:38:48.067 --> 00:38:48.667 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:38:48.687 --> 00:38:50.147 I think it's both of them. 00:38:50.407 --> 00:38:51.127 It's both of them. 00:38:51.147 --> 00:38:53.967 Trying to solve the murder of their Mac. 00:38:54.167 --> 00:38:57.047 Oh, and the best fit in, that's how they're falling in love. 00:38:57.067 --> 00:38:59.287 Oh, shit, and like they didn't, okay. 00:38:59.307 --> 00:39:02.947 So it was the first day of assignment and like they've just graduated. 00:39:02.967 --> 00:39:09.507 It's the first Mac ever made and they walk in to like, oh, they hated each other in Mac school, Mac school. 00:39:09.527 --> 00:39:11.527 Yeah, Mac school, Mac school. 00:39:11.547 --> 00:39:15.347 Yeah, and they walk in first day on the job and it's been murder. 00:39:15.507 --> 00:39:16.167 And they're superior. 00:39:16.187 --> 00:39:17.807 Oh no, actually, it's the second day. 00:39:17.807 --> 00:39:19.147 They get one day on the field. 00:39:19.467 --> 00:39:21.247 And it's like, they have to work together. 00:39:21.287 --> 00:39:23.847 It doesn't go well because they don't work while they're together. 00:39:23.867 --> 00:39:24.627 And then it's murder. 00:39:24.647 --> 00:39:34.227 Yeah, and I think the other important detail about that is like, there's a different sort of connection of like being in a Mac together and a different sort of connection of like being out of the Mac together. 00:39:35.027 --> 00:39:39.247 What does it mean to like, yeah, to have a relationship without the Mac? 00:39:39.467 --> 00:39:42.067 So it could even be several days in the job, right? 00:39:42.267 --> 00:39:49.607 I know, so when you are in the Mac together, this is probably just like Pacific Rim, but you can feel each other's feelings. 00:39:49.807 --> 00:39:50.507 Yeah. 00:39:50.527 --> 00:40:01.907 And so those few days in the Mac together, they start to understand the anger that the other one feels, but without that Mac, they start to be unable to understand again. 00:40:01.927 --> 00:40:08.207 And so now they have to like, they have to deal with their shit without the help of the Mac. 00:40:08.307 --> 00:40:20.047 And they have to because a plot device, because a plot device of like their superior officers or whatever are like, if we don't find out who did this, the Mac project is being canceled. 00:40:20.147 --> 00:40:22.747 What if there's just an incoming attack from someone? 00:40:22.767 --> 00:40:24.007 There's an incoming attack. 00:40:24.507 --> 00:40:30.707 And so they have to figure it out and they can't, and they gotta be ready for the attacks because they need to be able to emotionally still be on the same page. 00:40:30.727 --> 00:40:33.687 There's a stolen piece and it is irreplaceable. 00:40:34.047 --> 00:40:35.707 It's irreplaceable, yeah. 00:40:35.727 --> 00:40:38.527 The Mac is murdered and the core has been stolen. 00:40:38.527 --> 00:40:39.027 Yeah. 00:40:39.147 --> 00:40:40.327 And so they have to- 00:40:40.347 --> 00:40:44.367 And the core is like a fallen, I don't know, neutron star. 00:40:44.387 --> 00:40:45.267 It's sci-fi. 00:40:45.287 --> 00:40:45.847 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:40:48.347 --> 00:40:51.007 Something that is impossible for them to get another of. 00:40:51.107 --> 00:40:52.087 Yeah, exactly. 00:40:52.107 --> 00:40:53.147 There's only one of them. 00:40:53.247 --> 00:40:53.807 Exactly. 00:40:53.807 --> 00:40:54.967 And so they have to go find- 00:40:55.687 --> 00:40:58.767 Yeah, they have to go find this core together. 00:40:59.067 --> 00:41:02.967 It's just them figuring out what is going on and also like- 00:41:02.987 --> 00:41:03.947 How do they work together? 00:41:03.967 --> 00:41:07.967 I think they fuck up after, like, they get mad at each other in school. 00:41:07.987 --> 00:41:09.327 We get a few shots of that. 00:41:09.607 --> 00:41:11.967 We get some shots of them, oh, finally working together. 00:41:11.987 --> 00:41:13.967 I think they're like confident. 00:41:13.987 --> 00:41:15.587 They're like, oh yeah, we can do this. 00:41:15.607 --> 00:41:18.547 Like, we've had our days together and they go out and they try. 00:41:18.767 --> 00:41:21.207 And the first day out, oh, they mess up. 00:41:21.227 --> 00:41:23.027 So they get in each other's way. 00:41:23.047 --> 00:41:24.567 They like can't coordinate. 00:41:24.787 --> 00:41:27.407 And the point is that they know how to work together. 00:41:27.427 --> 00:41:29.087 You know, they know how to work together. 00:41:29.107 --> 00:41:31.447 But they don't actually know each other, right? 00:41:31.507 --> 00:41:46.027 They have not, like, I think the whole thing is like, they were coworkers and they were very good at working together, but also they don't know like each other's, like if each other has any siblings because they don't have conversations and they don't actually connect. 00:41:46.147 --> 00:41:48.887 So how do we force them to have these conversations? 00:41:48.907 --> 00:41:50.987 What scene is it where, like, they're trapped? 00:41:51.007 --> 00:41:55.627 They have nothing else to do, absolutely nothing, and they have to talk. 00:41:56.107 --> 00:41:57.607 How do we get to that position? 00:41:57.767 --> 00:41:59.427 I mean, stakeouts are good for that? 00:41:59.887 --> 00:42:01.647 Yeah, stakeouts are good. 00:42:01.667 --> 00:42:02.907 I want something else. 00:42:03.007 --> 00:42:05.847 Okay, so you want like, oh, I mean, go. 00:42:06.067 --> 00:42:07.107 What if? 00:42:07.467 --> 00:42:09.367 So there is aliens in this. 00:42:09.427 --> 00:42:09.867 Of course. 00:42:10.307 --> 00:42:12.827 The aliens have FTL engines. 00:42:12.987 --> 00:42:13.547 They have to stay. 00:42:13.567 --> 00:42:15.007 Which is faster than light engines. 00:42:15.127 --> 00:42:19.207 Yeah, they have to spend a year together getting there. 00:42:20.047 --> 00:42:20.667 Oh, wait. 00:42:20.747 --> 00:42:25.207 Okay, wait, they have to spend a year together, like chasing these aliens? 00:42:25.227 --> 00:42:27.227 Yeah, because you don't have FTL engines. 00:42:27.627 --> 00:42:32.167 Oh, and they have to learn to, oh, and this is great because then they're having to learn to live together. 00:42:32.787 --> 00:42:35.467 They're not just having to learn to like, they're, oh. 00:42:35.487 --> 00:42:36.827 They have to learn to live together. 00:42:36.847 --> 00:42:38.827 Mech pilots to roommates to lovers. 00:42:41.567 --> 00:42:43.127 This is so good. 00:42:43.227 --> 00:42:44.427 And it's like, yeah. 00:42:44.427 --> 00:42:45.027 And this is. 00:42:45.047 --> 00:42:49.707 And all the while, like the murder mystery part of it is like, they're getting clues. 00:42:49.727 --> 00:42:58.287 They're getting info like in, yeah, on their sensors and they're having to make do with like, oh, and they gotta have like people back at home who they're like, you need to research this. 00:42:58.307 --> 00:42:59.387 You need to research this. 00:42:59.647 --> 00:43:04.747 Also, they do have engines that are pretty fast, but just not fast enough. 00:43:04.767 --> 00:43:08.687 So they go to one planet and it's like, oh, we have to find the clues. 00:43:08.767 --> 00:43:10.087 Oh, they were just here. 00:43:10.327 --> 00:43:12.047 We have to leave right now. 00:43:12.067 --> 00:43:14.267 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:43:14.287 --> 00:43:16.307 All the classic murder mystery stuff. 00:43:16.367 --> 00:43:17.687 They gotta look for clues. 00:43:17.707 --> 00:43:21.027 And yeah, because this is a whole mix of genres. 00:43:21.047 --> 00:43:21.587 Of course. 00:43:21.607 --> 00:43:24.047 This is so many genres that we've made. 00:43:24.867 --> 00:43:25.847 Oh, this is excellent. 00:43:25.867 --> 00:43:27.387 Which means we have to do all the tropes. 00:43:27.507 --> 00:43:28.807 We have to do all the tropes. 00:43:28.847 --> 00:43:32.007 Oh yeah, they gotta have like, we already have so many tropes. 00:43:32.807 --> 00:43:38.147 I mean, one of the planets that they go to, there's a whole race and there's like a bomb that's gonna blow up the planet. 00:43:38.167 --> 00:43:47.327 They have to decide like, oh, we can leave right now and catch the murderer of our mech or we stay and save this whole planet sort of thing. 00:43:47.347 --> 00:43:54.327 Yeah, and like, there's gotta be a big emotional scene where they're like, I don't know how to choose, I don't know how to choose. 00:43:54.787 --> 00:43:58.927 And then like something reminds them why they were mech pilots in the first place. 00:43:59.807 --> 00:44:02.587 The people that they wanted to save along the way. 00:44:02.707 --> 00:44:04.647 And they of course choose the bomb. 00:44:04.667 --> 00:44:06.347 They of course choose to stop the bomb. 00:44:06.367 --> 00:44:12.107 I don't think, can you imagine a protagonist where it's like, no, let's go now, let's catch the bomb. 00:44:12.467 --> 00:44:15.647 Yes, I can't imagine that protagonist is that protagonist is named Otto. 00:44:16.067 --> 00:44:18.347 And yeah, that's Otto. 00:44:18.367 --> 00:44:19.347 Yeah, that's Otto. 00:44:19.667 --> 00:44:21.627 But these are the good guys. 00:44:21.867 --> 00:44:25.167 The capital G, capital G, capital G, good capital G guys. 00:44:25.507 --> 00:44:32.427 Also, I think important, there's someone, like their superior officer is like betraying them, obviously. 00:44:32.947 --> 00:44:33.747 Love that trope. 00:44:33.787 --> 00:44:34.947 Yeah, it's that whole trope. 00:44:34.967 --> 00:44:35.907 Yeah, we're doing all the tropes. 00:44:35.927 --> 00:44:40.547 And so it's like, it's like the superior officer has been working with the aliens the whole time. 00:44:40.567 --> 00:44:41.247 Oh, they leaked it. 00:44:41.267 --> 00:44:43.967 And that's why the aliens know where they are. 00:44:44.247 --> 00:44:48.487 Yeah, and they're working together because that dude wants that thing for himself. 00:44:48.747 --> 00:44:55.167 So he can make a different mech that like defeats the origin, that like, I don't know, some- 00:44:55.247 --> 00:44:56.107 Bigger mech. 00:44:56.327 --> 00:45:01.067 He wants to make a bigger mech that he's in control of to like take over the world. 00:45:01.087 --> 00:45:03.727 The project manager didn't make me a pilot. 00:45:03.907 --> 00:45:04.667 I'm upset. 00:45:05.367 --> 00:45:06.607 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:45:06.647 --> 00:45:08.507 It's some justification like that. 00:45:09.947 --> 00:45:25.787 Yeah, and like, of course they got to have the scene where like the part gets back to this dude with his mech and like gets installed in the mech and their whole thing is they don't have the mech available to them and they have to destroy this mech and get the core back. 00:45:25.827 --> 00:45:30.187 And then you just get like the ultimate, I guess, anime shit of just like- 00:45:31.147 --> 00:45:32.227 Them running up like- 00:45:32.767 --> 00:45:34.107 This is all anime, of course. 00:45:34.567 --> 00:45:35.707 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:45:35.727 --> 00:45:37.447 That's another genre this is getting. 00:45:37.487 --> 00:45:38.727 I mean, anime is not an anime. 00:45:38.747 --> 00:45:39.787 Anime isn't a genre, right? 00:45:39.807 --> 00:45:40.887 Anime is not a genre. 00:45:40.907 --> 00:45:41.827 It is a style. 00:45:41.847 --> 00:45:44.887 I mean, animation in general is kind of a genre. 00:45:44.907 --> 00:45:45.487 It's complicated. 00:45:45.827 --> 00:45:46.487 It's complicated. 00:45:46.507 --> 00:45:47.907 It's usually viewed as genre. 00:45:47.967 --> 00:45:49.787 It's usually viewed as genre fiction, but- 00:45:50.127 --> 00:45:50.967 That's just because- 00:45:50.987 --> 00:45:51.447 You're right. 00:45:51.447 --> 00:45:52.267 It is usually viewed as that. 00:45:52.287 --> 00:45:59.007 People who define things, because people who define what genre fiction versus literary fiction is are the worst people. 00:45:59.207 --> 00:45:59.567 Anyway. 00:46:00.767 --> 00:46:05.927 The difference between genre fiction and literary fiction is genre fiction is interesting and like fun. 00:46:06.207 --> 00:46:13.907 And literary fiction is stuff that you are supposed to derive deeper meanings from and ask questions that can't be answered. 00:46:13.927 --> 00:46:17.747 We asked the viewer, do big robot good? 00:46:18.247 --> 00:46:18.727 Yeah. 00:46:19.067 --> 00:46:20.607 Do big robot good. 00:46:20.907 --> 00:46:24.527 What does big robot cut us off from? 00:46:24.687 --> 00:46:28.087 What does it mean to be human when giant robot- 00:46:31.287 --> 00:46:42.747 I just want it to be anime because you can't have the $10 million budget for that mech fight versus, I don't know, a $10,000 budget and it's better. 00:46:42.767 --> 00:46:45.107 Yeah, like this is not live action. 00:46:45.107 --> 00:46:46.787 No, no, no, no, no, no. 00:46:46.887 --> 00:46:47.927 It's gotta be the anime. 00:46:47.947 --> 00:46:51.967 But what if we actually just send people into space? 00:46:51.987 --> 00:46:53.907 God, we already did that. 00:46:54.147 --> 00:46:55.687 It's called Letters to the Moon. 00:46:55.707 --> 00:46:57.027 It was in our first episode. 00:46:59.167 --> 00:47:00.407 What's this one called? 00:47:06.707 --> 00:47:09.767 Oh my God, The Mech Between Us. 00:47:10.167 --> 00:47:12.627 The Mech Between Us, God. 00:47:12.867 --> 00:47:14.447 I kind of like The Mech Between Us. 00:47:14.507 --> 00:47:17.247 Okay, Our Commanding Officer is a Dickwad. 00:47:17.267 --> 00:47:18.467 I like that title. 00:47:18.487 --> 00:47:20.207 Also that, also that. 00:47:20.447 --> 00:47:23.307 Our Commanding Officer is a Dickwad and is going to betray us. 00:47:24.587 --> 00:47:25.647 That's the title. 00:47:26.207 --> 00:47:27.247 That's a good title. 00:47:27.267 --> 00:47:28.167 Very good title. 00:47:29.387 --> 00:47:34.567 Oh, I believe we are receiving word from Clair out in the field. 00:47:35.367 -->

someone able to, she's dead. 00:47:48.987 --> 00:47:49.207 Oh. 00:47:51.087 --> 00:47:52.627 All right, breaking news. 00:47:53.907 --> 00:47:56.807 Our reporter on the field has been killed.
