Speaker 1: 0:01

Thank you and welcome back to another episode of the Carolina Taco Podcast. I am Afro and I'm here with my co-host.

Speaker 2: 0:09

Lexi.

Speaker 1: 0:12

Yeah, we've been gone for a little bit, we've been busy, we've been traveling. Well, I guess I travel too and I'm back home, finally I'm back home. I'm back home. Uh, a month goes fast. That was a whole month. I was, uh back at home, yeah, and uh you, shit happens and we'll talk about that today. But, like I said, welcome back. As you know, the way we start these things off is you know what we've been up to and kind of just go from there. So, lexi, what have you been up to? What has it been? Two weeks, it's been a month, sir.

Speaker 1: 1:06

No no no, it's been a month.

Speaker 2: 1:11

Because we didn't do one, because I was on vacation, it wasn't happening.

Speaker 1: 1:17

Okay, what have you been?

Speaker 2: 1:20

up to. So yeah, it's been a month. You guys, welcome back. We miss you guys. I know you guys are tired of seeing the same old clips that AfroSci keep posting, but you know we got like 4,000 on one wait what, hold on, wait a minute what it was.

Speaker 1: 1:44

You know what's crazy. It was the one where you were talking about the insurance of your surgery.

Speaker 2: 1:49

That has 4 000 oh yeah, because you use those buzzwords on this shit. I saw that I was like using buzzwords okay whatever, that shit was crazy that's why. That's why we got so many is because you use buzzwords. I waswords. This has nothing to really do with what we were talking about, but okay, buzzwords.

Speaker 1: 2:09

I mean it kind of does. You were talking about just how the insurance works on the surgery and stuff. So it did. But yeah, I was like damn what the fuck. But yeah, that was crazy.

Speaker 2: 2:24

But yeah, what you been up to um, he's not lying, we really did have four thousand. I didn't take a back shot. But, um, I've been busy, um I got a new car. I went on vacation. Um I went to a concert. Um I bought my TwitchCon ticket and flight. So that's already in the bag. So, yeah, that's really what I've been up to. He knows what kind of car I have. I have a Tesla. I got a Tesla Model Y. That was the experience and an ordeal to get, but it's here, I got it. It's all black. It's black on black black wheels black paint black tint.

Speaker 2: 3:17

It is very pretty. I'm trying to get it wrapped because I kind of want to get it like a galaxy wrap around it, because his name is Nebula, she's a she. So I have two children now. I have Onyx and I have Nebula. So, yeah, that's. That's pretty much it. I went on a cruise. That's a whole story. If you ain't been in my twitch streams or whatever, I already told that story. So if you missed it, you missed it. And then, uh, last week I went to see 21 savage in concert and it was pretty good. So, yeah, now we're here, nice, awesome, awesome.

Speaker 1: 4:02

Um. Well, as you guys can see, I'm not in the same background, I am back home. Got back home Sunday morning. It was nice being at home. That's the longest I've been back home for years, I mean, I don't want to say more than a decade I haven't been back home for that long in a while. So it was nice, but it kind of there were certain things that happened that just made me realize I like this country living, you want?

Speaker 2: 4:41

to go into that.

Speaker 1: 4:43

This country living is nice fuck that you know. And it's not even like my mom is in like a crazy place, but it's just like you kind of sit there and you're just like what the fuck? So can I? You want me to go into it?

Speaker 1: 4:58

alright so, living in this, living in the uh, living in the country, it's just certain things that you really don't have to worry about because you're in the cut, right. So, yes, I mean, you gotta, you gotta. When you live in a country, you live on back roads. People have to actually like find you to get to you. You're not on a main road or off a main road and you're just like there up front. So you're not in a HOA, you're not in a community of houses, right? So one morning I wake up moving my car, going to get my mom coffee. She can't drive, can't drive. She got solar surgery. That's why I was up there helping her out and everything like that. Been there, was there for a month. And so I come out to my truck and, yes, I do this, and because I'm just used to it, because I've never had to deal with it, but I'll leave mine. It's an old fucking pickup truck. Honestly, if you want to take it, take it, please, go ahead, it's insured, whatever. So, um, I come out. It's the morning time, it's like during the day, it's like morning, like eight, nine o'clock. Come out. First of all, there's a dollar on the ground. There's a dollar outside on the ground Right, open the door seats all the way up.

Speaker 1: 6:30

So somebody came into that bitch for real, for real, and just rummaged through all my shit, right. First of all, let's be real. The shit that's important, of course, isn't in the car. There was a dog bed, a seat cover for the dog and a whole bunch of other just random shit, like a ramp for, like, my smoker, um, my power bank was in there, which is almost like a 200 power bank, um, and they took 10 pounds, because when I went to Germany I did the whole exchange thing and I got 10 pounds, right.

Speaker 1: 7:08

So, and what they left out with? I had a knife Amazon knife that was like 20 bucks, and my ammo box that was full of nine millimeter and 45. And my magazines that are for my firearms. That's what they walked out with, right. So I sit there and I look and I just start laughing because I think it's the funniest shit ever. I think it's so. I think it's so funny. You get a knife 20 bucks. The most expensive thing in that whole car other than the car was the power bank. It just shows me how fucking stupid you are. And then you take my ammo. Ammo's expensive but it's replaceable. And then you got magazines to guns that you don't have.

Speaker 2: 8:02

I mean they might have no.

Speaker 1: 8:05

Look, if you gotta go and steal shit, you definitely don't have it. Let's be let's. Let's keep it real, you don't have it. So it was what I think. Anyway, I'm not gonna tell you what I got, but he whoever did it, you know got it and it's whatever truck was fine, was able to put everything back and was driving. It was good. Um, my mom said I was dead, sleep, door closed. Uh, and my mom was like her dog was barking like crazy. I didn't hear it, but she was like I didn't, I didn't, I didn't know what it was not because she just barks.

Speaker 1: 8:51

You know what I mean. So I'm just like man. I sat there and I thought, like what would I? What would I have done if I actually caught the person? Everything was in the house, like my carry is literally on the dresser right, literally on the dresser. I keep one in the chamber, always, always, always one in the chamber. Since I've been working at that range, since I've been into firearms, I have learned to keep one in the chamber. Since I've been working at that range and since I've been into firearms, I have learned to keep one in the chamber right. So I'm just I think about telling what, what I've done. Would I've just let them go with the shit? Just go ahead, nigga, you got it, it's you, you won, you got it. Go like you got it. You need this. Take, got it you need this.

Speaker 2: 9:47

Take it, I don't know, Knowing you, I feel like it depends on who it was. If it was some little kid, you'd probably be like whatever, but if it was somebody your age, I feel like you would have probably pulled out the carry and would have been like get the fuck off my property. Yeah, probably.

Speaker 1: 10:06

Probably, probably, probably, so it, you know it happens. It's Baltimore, whatever, give it a fuck. But it's just what can I say? It just reminds me of why I like North Carolina. I mean, north Carolina has this shit too, like it has this. Every place has its shits. You know what I mean, but I don't know.

Speaker 1: 10:42

When I got back here, it was, it was just. It was just. It was great to be back. It really was, it was really great to be back. Got back, my grass is high as hell so I had to cut my grass immediately. The day I got back, I was cutting grass and then, when I'm cutting my grass, I cut it.

Speaker 1: 11:07

I'm getting my push lawnmower to just get you know the places that I couldn't reach and I see something moving in the ground on the side of my garage and it's a hole. I look in the hole and I thought it was like mice or something, or like a big ass snake that was just in a hole. No, it's baby rabbits. I have baby rabbits on my property in a hole trying just living.

Speaker 1: 11:38

Whoever the, the mother rabbit comes at night. She has to come at night because I don't see her during the day. So she comes around at night to check up on them and they're big and it's about at least four or five of them in there at least four or five and they look healthy. Nothing's gonna bother them. You know, I put up a stick so I know where they are, so that the dog doesn't mess with them, so I don't accidentally step anywhere near them or on them. But every time I take the dog out I'm always looking over the hole just to see if there's anything there. Yo, I'm checking for real, like I took some grass, like grass, and I just put it over the hole just to cover it, because it was raining I think coming out to go.

Speaker 1: 12:21

Yeah, I come out. The grass is moved. The mama said who the fuck put this grass on top of this? That's what she said, and she moved that fucking grass. I have rabbits now. That's cool. I think Sunny was ready to come back, for sure. I think she was ready to be back in her own space.

Speaker 2: 12:48

Um really, where do you have me?

Speaker 1: 12:50

I don't like you yeah, I'll go back home yeah, I think she was ready to be back in her own space and, um, she's just been chilling, I mean, like the most, like no whining. Most of the time when we leave a certain place for a long time she gets into like this depressive state. But this time there was no depressive state. She said she came right in, went straight to her bed and chill out for the day like she was good. Yup, I came back in, she was good. I was like, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. So you chilling, um.

Speaker 1: 13:30

But, yeah, got to see my father, got to see my stepmoms. Um, my sister came up there when I was there Memorial day weekend and you know we got to hang out, have a good time, try some pretty good foods when I was up there and, yeah, it wasn't bad, it wasn't bad at all, but definitely missed, you know, definitely missed the home. But you know mom is doing well, going through physical therapy, doing what she got to do, back driving again and she's good to go. But other than that, everything else is shit Working and just working. That's about it. So I was in Maryland when Lexi got this Tesla. And what do you call people who don't drive electric cars?

Speaker 2: 14:37

We call them ICE, so internal combustion engine drivers yeah. Internal combustion engine like drivers yeah so is that like how they?

Speaker 1: 14:54

so when you went to go buy the car, right, did they like try to sell you on stuff or you already know what you want?

Speaker 2: 15:04

let's go ahead and talk about this, because buying tesla is different than buying in like any other kind of car.

Speaker 1: 15:09

Okay, oh, yeah, I bet, okay.

Speaker 2: 15:11

So since he, he wants to know, anyways he. But he wants me to tell you guys anyways. So all right. So where I live, tesla cannot be sold directly. I have to go out of state to pick it up. That's one thing. Yeah, so I know, if you're into cars, you might know that Tesla had a recent offer to buy a Tesla Model Y for like .9 APR. So this is what triggered that whole

Speaker 2: 15:43

day. I went to do the trash drive. I saw it. I was like, oh, it's nice. Oh, that interest rate, okay, okay, let me go ahead. So I went ahead and it's like some people know, but like I've been like fighting back and forth if I want to get like a mercedes or something else, and like the mercedes, I want fully loaded, because I don't like buying cars unless it's fully loaded. It's too much right now. So I was like, alright, let me get the Tesla. So Tesla was a lot cheaper, we'll get into that. Why? So, anyways, so to start the process, you have to pay $250 off that you don't get this back if you don't get the car. It's not refundable. So $250 off that you don't get this back if you don't get the car, it's not refundable. So they take the $250 that's called an order fee and then from that particular process they get your license and then you put in where you live, your income, all this stuff, and they go through financing. Like I said, tesla does do their own financing in-house. They also will send it off to different, like insurance or an insurance but other finance companies to to get the

Speaker 2: 16:50

deal. Um, well, I actually still have my other car and when I first did it, they're like, oh yeah, you're approved conditionally if you trade in your other car, and I'm like, fuck, no, I'm keeping my other car because I still want to have a regular car, just in case something happens with tesla. So one thing about it you don't walk into a dealership and go pick up a car like, hey, I want this car with tesla. You have to go through the app and you have a service advisor. So you had a message yeah, yeah, and they're awful. Like you can't call them directly. It is if you look online. Everybody says the cars are amazing, the customer service is ass, and I agree with it so much because it is such an ass process. So, anyways, I'm doing this during a time where a lot of people were getting these cars. So, like I already do, it was ass. So I told him I was like hey, I'm not trading on my car, I do have you know, know the income or whatever. That he was alright cool. So I like emailed them. It took like another like 24 Hours for them to like push it back through where it was just like approved. So I got my approved, got my rate or whatever. And then so After that, if you're doing your own financing, like through your credit union, well, you got to wait until they give you a VIN

Speaker 2: 18:11

number. So that's the next step. So they give you a VIN number. Car's been signed. Look at the car that I got. They had it in inventory, so I didn't have to wait for it to be delivered, dropped off at the dealership for me to go pick it up, because that was

Speaker 2: 18:24

good. So, um, so after that they asked for proof of insurance. So I had to go find insurance for it because me and progressive were beefing. So I went to state farm, had a pretty good deal, so it's not that bad. Um, and then after that, if you give them insurance, then it's time for you to do your down payment. So I put in the down

Speaker 2: 18:48

payment. And then they ask you how you want to do your

Speaker 2: 18:51

credit. Well, you know, if you buy an electric car, there's a 7500 credit that you get for the car. Uh, you can either get it at the time that you like get the car and they apply it towards like a down payment, or you can get it back as a reimbursement as long as you meet the qualifications for it, like the income level, things of that nature. And so I just did it as um, my down payment, so that knocked off $3,500 off the purchase price plus the other amount that I put down. Pretty much I had a car for like way a lot less than typically, way a lot less than typically. So I did that. And then I had to drive to. Yeah, I wanted to go pick it up in Charlotte, so I had to drive two hours to Charlotte. So I started this process on a Sunday, I finished it on a Friday, so technically the appointment was supposed to take like 15 minutes. Well, I get there. There's a line of people trying to get their own cars too at the same time was a line there was a line.

Speaker 2: 19:47

Yeah, there was a lot nah nigga no, no, no in front of me was getting a model y, but he got the performance model, but it was also black. And then, yeah, there was a line, so it was okay, we'll wait. It's being charged right now. Just wait about 15 minutes and you can get. You're good to go, okay.

Speaker 2: 20:09

So I'm sitting there and, like this older couple comes in. She mad loud on the phone and if you know me, I don't like loud noises and I don't like being around a lot of people for a very long amount of time, especially in like small areas. So, all right, I'm like getting like nancy. I'm like, all right, 15 minutes. I'm past 20 minutes. I'm past people starting to get in their cars. I'm like, uh, excuse me, excuse me, where's my car? And they're like oh, oh, oh, it's in the wash bay. Shouldn't be that long. All right, cool.

Speaker 2: 20:48

20 turns into 30. 30 turns into 45. The couple that was behind me is like walking out the door about to get their car. I'm like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now, mind you, this is Memorial Day, weekend and I'm in Charlotte. Traffic's already like back the fuck up. And I'm in Charlotte, traffic's already like back the fuck up. And I'm looking at the GPS telling me I got three hours to get the fuck home and I'm like, oh no, and this is before. It's like rush hour traffic. So I'm like okay.

Speaker 1: 21:15

Mm-mm.

Speaker 2: 21:15

This is before you left right, mm-hmm, and this was the day before I left, so hold on.

Speaker 2: 21:20

I'm like mm-mm, it's gonna be forever before I get home and I still got a pack. I got to get stuff last moment for this truck. So I'm like, alright, cool. So I asked him again and this time I get really bitchy about it. I'm like yo, where the fuck is my car? Like you guys done? Told me like I hate to be that person, but like this is really a 15 minute appointment, I'm just gonna sign some papers. Y'all, finna, hand over the car and I'm gonna be out. Yeah, I'm gonna be out. Like what's going on? So he's like, oh, it's still in the wash. Man like nah, nah, just bring my car, I'll wash it, just bring my car. So just bring it to me please.

Speaker 2: 22:07

He was like, okay, so he drives it up and like, parks it. I get in the car can't go no damn where, why? Because it says it's undelivered. So I'm like yo, what go back in. Hey, I can't go anywhere. The car, the car still says it's undelivered. He said, oh, my bad, hold on 10 minutes later. Okay, try it now finally I can drive off.

Speaker 2: 22:36

And he was like, okay, you got any questions? I'm like, yeah, just how about changing some mirrors so I can get the fuck up out of here. I can see and like he's like yo, he tells me and I'm like, all right, I'm sorry for being a bitch, but I gotta drive like three hours back home and I got a trip I gotta go to tomorrow. So like okay, he's like no, no, I understand, because he was going momo con, so I felt his pain because he had. But I got to drive like three hours back home and I got a trip I got to go to tomorrow. So like I got to go. He's like no, no, I understand, because he was going to MomoCon so I felt his pain Because he had to drive from Charlotte to MomoCon, like to Atlanta.

Speaker 2: 23:02

So I knew that was it. But like yeah, if you get one, just be like it takes some time. Customer service sucks. You might have the email auto financing a few times. You may have to hound down a service advisor to to like get your car, because they don't answer their phones, um, but I think that everything else has been pretty good. Like I haven't had any major issues with it. Did you get?

Speaker 1: 23:33

a charger.

Speaker 2: 23:35

No, that's another thing. You have to buy a charger after you get the car or before you get the car.

Speaker 1: 23:43

Wait.

Speaker 2: 23:44

They used to, but they stopped. You have to buy a charger for the car. Yeah, I got a mobile charger because where I live I can't install like a tesla charger, which is like the charger. Plus. This installation is going to run you like anywhere from 1500 to like two grand to like get it installed. So I was like no, I'm not doing that here until I get my own permanent house. So I got a mobile charger which plugs into my wall in my garage and, like I go about my business. It works great. It's just super slow to charge my car. So, like, what I do is I charge it a supercharger once like a week. Um, supercharge is super quick though you like, from 20 to like 80 percent charge within like 20 minutes and you're out.

Speaker 1: 24:31

How much is the supercharger to use it?

Speaker 2: 24:33

Supercharger depends on the rate and when you go. So I think the supercharger I go to is like $0.32, $0.30 per kilowatt hour. So usually that's probably depending on what the range of my car is when I go. And then the last time I charged it was like $10 for me to charge it to 80, and I can see why.

Speaker 2: 24:58

There are some of the features in the car that's on the car, like you have like a theater mode where I can watch twitch from the car, I can watch youtube from the car and then like there's a mobile browser so you can watch like other stuff too, like nine anime and a bunch of other stuff on the car. Um, but there are also some other things that just don't make sense. So, like you know, you have a car, you have a glove, like a glove box, and you can just pull the thing down to open the glove box. Well, there's no like pull the thing that you have to go into the menu to drop it down and there's no car play. So don't think you're gonna get car play. There's. There's none of that.

Speaker 2: 25:37

uh there's no car play I mean tesla does have his on, like navigation, I don't like it. It it tried to take you like the most convoluted route ever to get somewhere I guess the same time, but it really doesn't. Most convoluted route ever to get somewhere, I guess the same time, but it really doesn't and so it's so annoying. But, like not, everything else is okay. I love the ride. It's really nice. Um, the acceleration is great. I go like zero to 60 in like four seconds. Um the full self-driving. I don't use it that often, but it works very well 90% of the time. 10% of the time you gotta take a little bit of control and do what you need to do and then you can just turn it back on, but yeah.

Speaker 1: 26:31

Okay. What you gonna say so if you're listening to this, think with petrol, do not go electric if that's what you want to do.

Speaker 2: 26:47

If you're in a petrol, no, because the cost of like keep up for that car is a lot cheaper than it is for a petrol car. I don't have the chain brakes. They have regenerative brakes. There's no oil change.

Speaker 1: 27:03

That's the beauty of it, though.

Speaker 2: 27:05

For a person that does not work on their own car, and I go to the dealership all the time.

Speaker 1: 27:11

But that's the whole beauty of Vladi.

Speaker 2: 27:13

No, it's not, not for me. I don't want to sit in the dealership an hour and a half because I just did it right before I left for vacation. I literally had to go take Onyx to get an oil change and I was in there for like an hour and a half. And because I drive him so much, I'm usually in there like every three, four months getting a dollar change.

Speaker 1: 27:31

Well, yeah, that's typical maintenance.

Speaker 2: 27:32

Yeah, true, I don't have to do that with the Tesla.

Speaker 1: 27:42

I know that a lot of car companies are not making gas cars anymore. That's just something. I think it's a law or some shit like that that's put in place. Think it's a law or some shit like that that's um put in place that companies can't make um petrol uh anymore. But I this could be wrong, but I could have swore. I heard that like because, like in california, there are so many people that drive teslas that the something like the infrastructure or some shit like that isn't able to handle the amount of people that uh drive them. Because it's just, it's just so much shit like there's so many people that use them, like I I honestly I think in california that there's probably a supercharger on every corner.

Speaker 2: 28:33

I don't know how to look, but I mean, out there, yes, there are super common to see. I don't think it's a problem necessarily with the infrastructure. It may be other issues that cause them to have issues there. But I know here, even here, like where I live, there's a lot of Teslas. Yeah, I mean we need more superchargers. We don't have the three superchargers, like in my little area, like well, I mean it's not that little, but like in the area there's like three. There's the one like I go to, there's another one that's like a slower charge and is more, which does not make sense. I don't know why it's like a slower charge and is more, which does not make sense. I don't know why it's like that, but it is. And then, like there's a few hotels around here that have superchargers that are up at the lower rate, so like, yeah, we need one of that I I.

Speaker 1: 29:26

the reason why I'm I'm not the biggest fan of the whole, like like electric car is Well, like you said, location is key. I wouldn't get that shit if I'm living out here.

Speaker 2: 29:40

I mean technically, it would be smart for you because you own your home, so you can just install a wall charger and be fine, like you wouldn't have to go to a supercharger. The only time you really need to go to a supercharger is if you live in a place where you do not have the ability to do a wall connector.

Speaker 1: 29:56

But is the wall charger like a supercharger?

Speaker 2: 30:02

It's similar to a supercharger it charges at a slower rate than a supercharger does. So there's three levels of charging when it comes to Tesla. There's level one, which is just your regular AC 120-volt outlet. There's level two, which is your home connectors, which I think are 240, which is about 42 amps max that it can do at a time. Then you have your superchargers, which are level threes, and those are charging at the faster rate.

Speaker 1: 30:31

Gotcha, okay, okay superchargers are level 3s and those are charging at the faster rate. Gotcha, okay, okay, yeah, I don't know. I like Volvos and they have electric cars.

Speaker 1: 30:42

I didn't tell you this yeah, no, they're ugly, though they're shit, they're ugly. The electric Volvos look like shit. Look, okay, I'm gonna say this too, and this is just something that I would love to see with volvo, but they'll never do it. If they're going to make an electric car, stop doing it on the. They just came out with the xc90 uh, electric, it's horrible, right? Xc90s have v8s in them. I mean v8s, and I think some of them have v6s. The older ones had the yamaha v8 in it, which was an amazing, amazing engine, and now it's just all electric shit and I'm just like nah, I'm good, if they want to come out with electric shit, give me Volvo.

Speaker 2: 31:33

I mean they have it in a hybrid as a plug-in hybrid.

Speaker 1: 31:37

No, if Volvo's gonna come out with something electric, give me a wagon, go back, bring back old shit. Give me a 240 wagon, that's all electric, it's fast. Give me a 240 wagon, that's all electric, it's fast. Give me a um 240 sedan, that's also fast, I don't know why you like right if you if huh I don't know why you like wagons because wagons are dope as fuck and they're convenient. And then, honestly they're, they're the best thing that you can have for everything. Fuck a crossover.

Speaker 2: 32:16

Fuck a crossover. I like my crossover SUVs.

Speaker 1: 32:18

Give me a wagon. A wagon is what I want, but if Volvo's going to do that, give me that.

Speaker 2: 32:28

Bring back the boxy look, but make it more modern that bring back like the boxy look, but make it more modern and wait.

Speaker 1: 32:40

You have some wagons, the b60s, as recharge so you could no, not the same, no, no it. No, it's not the faith. Bring back the, bring back the no, bring back the 740s, bring back the 240s, bring back the um, just anything back in the day. Bring that back and just redo it like and just make it better. If you want to make it electric, make that shit electric cool, but give people what they want. Like you have a fan base, people that are like diehard volvo fans that go for the old ones only because they're tanks.

Speaker 2: 33:14

They're built to last anyway yeah, but most car manufacturers are not building them to last nowadays yeah, and that's the fucking problem, that's the damn problem.

Speaker 1: 33:28

Um, but I am. I mean, the car does the Tesla does look good and once you got the tint on it, it looks fucking amazing. It looks really good. It's really slick, really slick. I'll fucks with that. Um, I will say, uh, the cruise. Did you see any pineapples? You saw pineapples.

Speaker 2: 33:52

Let me tell you the story, you guys, real quick. Okay, now, mind you, this is not my first cruise. Okay, at any means. Right, and I didn't know about this until this man mentioned this to me. I was literally. I think I got up super early one morning and he was like, oh, don't touch any pineapples. Do you see any pineapples? I was like huh't, touch any pineapples and you see any pineapples? I was like huh, and he says what it means and I was just like ha ha ha, right, real, all righty. Not even four hours later there is a post about a couple that has upside down pineapples on their door. That's wild. It was a lot of pineapples too. It was, it was a lot, okay, alright.

Speaker 1: 34:43

It was like five or four of the things and that's. Oh my gosh, that's.

Speaker 2: 34:54

He jinxed me If he didn't say anything. I don't think, oh my gosh, that's crazy. He jinxed me. If he did say anything, I don't think I would have saw that post or it wouldn't have popped up. But he said something and then it popped up.

Speaker 1: 35:02

Was the post saying like this is wrong.

Speaker 2: 35:07

No, no, no, no. So, like the person, I think it was also their first cruise as well and they're like so what are all these pineapples on the door? And like, if you want to comments or explaining what it was they're like. Oh well, I guess they like to have fun and they had the door number and everything.

Speaker 1: 35:23

we know where they were, so, yeah, no, that's crazy was that those were the only ones that you saw.

Speaker 2: 35:31

You didn't notice anything else like no, I didn't, like I didn't walk around like the the halls where they had like the cabins, so like my little cabin well, it wasn't, it was little. I'm speaking, I'm never going back on norwegian again, um, just letting you guys know that. So, like it was my, my cabin. Then there was like somebody random and then like my family's cabin Was like the next cabin and then like there was like a few people that had stuff on the doors but nobody had pineapples on their door, they were upside down. So like yeah, I'm pretty sure there probably were more, but I didn't go that far down to look gotcha, gotcha, okay, um, that's what's up.

Speaker 1: 36:20

Though, that's what's up, I never been on a cruise. I would definitely do it, I'm gonna do a lot, but I've never been on a cruise before. Um, so I kind of so, talking about you, brought up something that was interesting. You said that car manufacturers don't make cars like they used to, right, and what that got me thinking about was um lexi sent me a uh text message yesterday about uh, did you see the new Metal Gear? And I said new Metal Gear? The fuck is Konami about to do something right for a change? So I go look and I see something called Metal Gear Delta and I'm like, oh shit, what the fuck is this? Let me go watch it.

Speaker 1: 37:18

Now, if you listen to our episode when the Metal Gear collection came out, the one big thing that I said about it was when I go play Snake Eater, it takes me to the 2003,. Play snake eater, it takes me to the 2003, literally the 2003 version of it. Right, so, konami, and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit here and say that it doesn't look great, because it looks fucking amazing. Snake eater delta looks amazing because it's on that Unreal Engine 5. Right, it looks great. Here's the thing that pisses me the fuck off about it. I would have waited. I would have waited longer if you just did this with all of the other games first and then bring out the collection. Doesn't that make no sense? No, it don't make no sense, because them niggas want to make fucking money. So what they're going to do is oh, we're going to hit them with something crazy. Right now, we're gonna at the showcase, the Xbox showcase. We're gonna hit them with this Metal Gear Delta. We're not gonna put Snake Eater anywhere in this title, nowhere. So we're gonna make it seem like this is a totally new fucking game. But then, if you played Snake Eater, you know what Snake Eater looks like. You know what the fuck it looks like. You know what it looks like from the scenes. You know he's not Snake, yet he's Jack, right? You know this shit. It looks amazing.

Speaker 1: 39:12

I would have waited longer to have all of these games, like redone in the unreal 5, and I would. I would have loved to pay the money for that collection. And here's the other shit too, konami. Don't you have another collection coming out of the Metal Gear's? There's a part two to that shit, right? So what you telling me, you guys gonna come out with Delta and then the Master Collection 2? And then y'all gonna what? Take Sons of Liberty and redo Metal Gear 2 and redo that shit and make it look better so you can get the more money out the pocket, because y'all niggas ain't got shit else going on. I guess I watched that shit ten times and I said, man, this looks great, so good, so fucking good. I wonder if they're going to do this with all the rest of them.

Speaker 2: 40:10

Good question.

Speaker 1: 40:13

I don't really give a fuck, because I already spent the money on the damn collection.

Speaker 2: 40:17

You're going to give them your money regardless. I don't know why we even sit here going on this tangent about it, you're going to give Konami your money.

Speaker 1: 40:25

First, we don't have a date for when it's going to come out. Right, it's easy For game companies To make shit look good, well, we might not get it, we might not get it. So I only Talk shit like this Because I am a true fan Of Metal Gear. I am, and it, it. It hurts me that konami is doing shit like this. But you also have to remember uh, business is a business, you know what I mean. And they really don't have konami really doesn't have anything else like happening. So they have to, they got.

Speaker 1: 41:19

They're like man, we got to make some fucking money. We got to do something. We have to. We got to do some shit. How are we going to make some? How are we going to bleed these motherfuckers dry? How are we going to get this money out of them? Oh yeah, we're going to do something that we know that we could have done a long fucking time ago. It looks amazing, it looks so fucking good. But I I just I would have waited longer, I would have been more patient if you just did all of this shit for the collection and do it for the second collection, and then I can have all of that experience in one, instead of you guys branching this shit out and it's like the fucking commercial with the nigga, with the fishing line, with the dollar and you gotta be quicker than that type shit. Like I hate that. You gotta be quicker than that. Like get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 2: 42:20

Fuck. So segue into, like my Xbox showcase picks that like I'm excited for because he don't want on his tangent and he's still gonna get this game and y'all gonna hear this tangent again when the game come out because he's gonna go on.

Speaker 1: 42:33

Yeah, you are, and I probably like the same type of games that you did, because it's something that I watched it and I was like, oh, that was good. Okay, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2: 42:45

Anyways. So, like I saw that Fallout 76 is getting a new DLC I know you saw that that comes out tomorrow, so I'm excited about that. And then I think for me, like my top I'd say my top five that I was excited about was Fable, because I love Fable. They've been like, but I don't, I don't know They've been teasing like another Fable game for how long now and still haven't done it. They tried it when they did like, I think, legends, and I just didn't like it. I played Testa, didn't done it. They tried it when they did, I think, legends, and I just didn't like it. I played Testa, didn't like it. We'll see how that goes.

Speaker 2: 43:32

I don't really have high hopes for it because I've been waiting for a mad, mad long time for that. Then the next thing that got me excited was Dragon Age Velguard. That's the next thing that got me like excited was dragon age bell guard. That's 10 years, because I've been hearing that for like a couple days now. It's been 10 years since the last dragon age game, inquisition. Um, and, like I, the gameplay trailer dropped today and I'm excited. I want to see how this story plays out. It looks really good. They are still using the Frostbite engine though, so any shit change there, but it looks amazing. I hope I have my fingers crossed that we don't have any delays. They're saying it's supposed to be fall of this year, so hopefully we get it fall of this year.

Speaker 2: 44:24

But I know EA will get some pushbacks because it's already supposed to be out by now. Staff changes and shit going on there. It's been 10 years, okay, yeah, so like where it goes. I have been playing Origins. I went back and started that today. I started it with Awakening because I never did Awakening. The graphics are ass. They have dated so bad. When I first started playing, it kept constantly crashing.

Speaker 2: 44:56

If you decide you want to play on a newer PC. There is a patch out there that you have to download and add. You'll get some stability. The next thing for me that I saw that I was excited about was Call of Duty, black Ops 6. I love hold on, let me roll that back. I need a remake of Black Ops 2. That would be great. That's what got me into Call of Duty. But we have Black Ops 6. And they've added some stuff and they kind of showcase, they changed some things to the movement, the story, everything in that nation looks really good. So that has me interested. And they're bringing back round-based zombies. So, yes, yes, all right, and so, yeah, when the beta and stuff comes out, I'll be jumping on that. And then I did not know that they were making another Gears, where they are. Yes, they're doing Gears E-Day. And then they brought that like I think it's like before everything happens E-Day, so like yeah, I was wondering that.

Speaker 2: 46:03

Yeah, so that was.

Speaker 1: 46:04

Phoenix. So that was Phoenix and Dom before all the shit went crazy. Okay, that's what I thought, because they look young as fuck.

Speaker 2: 46:10

They look young as fuck, because I'm like I know this ain't Marcus' kid and this looks like.

Speaker 1: 46:16

Marcus yeah, I was like fuck. No, because the last scene when they showed the city, it was all still up and going.

Speaker 2: 46:24

Yeah, and then I saw dom and I was like yeah, all right the crew's back and like I cried when he died, so like this is gonna be really good for me, um, I don't wonder if they're um.

Speaker 1: 46:40

I do wonder, when it comes to gears, if they're going to have online multiplayer, because there is a fan base behind that and it is competitive play behind that also.

Speaker 2: 46:52

Yeah, they probably will. Even Gears 5 is still up and playing competitive actually and the online play is still up Because I know, because somebody invited me a month ago to play and I was just like, people still play this online.

Speaker 1: 47:05

Yeah, it's quick, them niggas move fast. Oh, wow, it was like okay, Okay and hopefully you get the last one, the last game that looks good on here. Hopefully you choose right. It's only one. There's only one. That's right.

Speaker 2: 47:25

Sir, we have different gaming choices.

Speaker 2: 47:27

Don't do that, it's only one I don't know, okay, and so I don't know. For me, I think my last choice that I was actually excited about is not even like a game, it's more of a DLC, but I do want to see what they're going to do with. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not no, but I do want to see what they're going to do with. Uh, actually it's two and they're both from the same studio, so we're going to count as one, but I do want to see what they're going to do with. World of warcraft, with war within, and then, uh, vessel of hatred for diablo. Uh, because I play both those games, so I'm kind of excited about that. What's yours Is yours. State of Decay.

Speaker 1: 48:07

No.

Speaker 2: 48:10

What is yours Doom? Oh yeah, what the fuck? Well, okay, okay, I like Doom, but I'm not like ooh Doom, Ooh Doom, I'm not okay. I didn't play the original Dune, Like I'm not one of the players on PC back as a kid.

Speaker 1: 48:32

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 48:33

But I'm, yeah, I'm not one of those kids.

Speaker 1: 48:35

I used in middle school. In middle school I was in like a magnet school, so we had a class called environmental science and I don't know who did this, but somebody put a copy of Doom on these computers and everything was connected. Land wise, right. So all of us I don't know who did this, but all of us would play Doom on these computers all the fucking time, and the teacher's in the front and we're in the back and the computers are at an angle, so she can't see shit and all of us are just playing Doom. So yeah, and it looked great, it looked amazing.

Speaker 2: 49:22

See, the Game of choice for, like my class when I was in biomedical studies was Halo. They used to play Halo like all the time. It looks good.

Speaker 1: 49:36

Doom is there for me and everything else that you already said. Metal Gear, delta, yeah, whatever. I did watch the Ubisoft one yesterday, and the only reason why I watched it was because of Division 2, because I just wanted to hear what they were doing. It's year six. Year six started today, so I already logged in and did some shit, but they're coming out with the new assassins creed yeah, I saw that. I'm kind of like yeah, I'm I'm ready for that too, because it looks really good um yeah, that shit looks amazing.

Speaker 1: 50:15

I love the way it looks. But, um, yeah, the gears of war, doom, metal gear fable. Um, yeah, that looks good to me. That's those are the ones that I like. Okay, this is, this is good. This is fucking good. Um, damn, a lot of shit is happening in the month. Man Get robbed, got robbed Do games. You know what's crazy? My sister called me yesterday and she was like guess what? I literally just saw a dude fly off his motorcycle and hit a tree. I was like. I was like are you serious? She was like yeah, I was like is the motherfucker all right? And she was like yeah, he has. He had a broken like, uh, like not broken leg, but something in his leg was like you know, kind of like fucked up. But he was able to walk away from it and I was like, oh, I was like was he wearing a helmet? He was wearing a helmet, but he wasn't wearing anything else. He was just wearing regular clothes. And I was like yo, that's crazy.

Speaker 2: 51:36

So that's funny because when I was going to get my Tesla driving to Charlotte, there was a truck that just turned over and that was like in the embankment and like nobody was. It was just that one car, like no other truck, nothing else, just this one car that turned over. The guy was like standing outside like he was waiting for like the cops to come and I'm just like the fuck that is crazy.

Speaker 1: 52:07

Jesus Christ it man. Yeah, just a lot of shit can happen in a month, but I missed home so much I did. I missed it.

Speaker 2: 52:23

I did too. When I came back from Red Cruz, I was like, oh my bed.

Speaker 1: 52:27

I slept the first night. I slept okay first. I love my mother, love her to death. And the beds. I could have swore she said it's a full size bed but honestly, maybe because it's me and I'm laying in it, it feels like a twin. So my biggest fear was me falling out of me and I'm laying in it. It feels like a twin. So my biggest fear was me falling out of it and I was, I almost fell.

Speaker 1: 52:51

I almost fell when I was trying to reach the cover. It was in the corner and I was trying to reach for that joint and I thought it was like on the edge of the bed but I reached too far and I was about to, you know, like fall over, but I had to catch myself. That was the only time I almost almost fell. So yeah, that was cool, I feel good because I got sick on my cruise.

Speaker 2: 53:22

So like I come back and I'm like dying sick. And I was like so like I come back and I'm like dying sick.

Speaker 1: 53:27

And it was like I need my bed. Oh, and I also built um one of the keyboards that I have.

Speaker 2: 53:33

Where's my keyboard? It was built for me.

Speaker 1: 53:36

That's actually.

Speaker 1: 53:44

Do no-transcript, actually local here in north carolina and, um, as could see, got my little key switches, got my Mega oh shit, my Mega Mans and stuff for my F1 keys and all that shit. It's actually really sick. The only thing that you have to do is solder everything in, but soldering is not that hard. The brand of it is called Kibioio and they've been doing this for a while and they make really really good keyboards and their support is really good, because it's only like three to four people, so they respond for you. I will do that.

Speaker 1: 55:13

I needed it, just so I can work and stuff like that.

Speaker 2: 55:18

He just wanted to be fancy.

Speaker 1: 55:20

It's not even that I like using a keyboard because I'm so used to it. It was when I came back here and I started working I was like, oh shit, this is weird because I had like this little cheap ass mouse that I bought from amazon real quick and I have my um, my logitech, like hero mouse here and it's just like a total difference.

Speaker 1: 55:40

It has the weights in it and all that shit. And it's just like, oh my difference, it has the weights in it and all that shit, and it's just like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. It feels so good. So yeah, that's cool, yeah, y'all. So this was. We had a lot of shit to talk about, and this week, we're just catching up.

Speaker 2: 56:01

Yeah, it's been a month.

Speaker 1: 56:04

Yeah, yeah, and that's like it's catching up because, yeah, it's been, it's been a month, yeah, yeah, it's um, which is, you know, shit happens and you just gotta roll with the punches, um. But yeah, as we said before, you know I post on tiktok and stuff kind of gonna be moving towards posting more on TikTok and stuff kind of going to be moving towards posting more on YouTube.

Speaker 2: 56:28

Make sure you do the shorts correctly and remember they can be no more than 60 seconds, sir.

Speaker 1: 56:33

Thank you. Yeah, what's crazy to me is that I use the like the automatic shit with the opus, and it's kind of weird because they deal with so many people, and it's kind of weird that they don't have it so that, like, the clips go to reels as a whole anyway, or maybe I missed something. I need to work on some shit, I don't know. But, um, yeah, follow us on our socials. Definitely, like I said, I post some clips down there every day.
