All right, thank you and welcome to another episode of Carolina Taco Podcast. I am Afro and I am here with my co-host, lexi. Welcome back, you guys. Yeah, you guys know how we start these things off. You know what we've been up to since we last talked, and you know, just go from there. So, lexi, what have you been up to?
Speaker 2:Been like doing stuff to my garden it looks good thank you, it looks good. That's pretty much it nice, what, um?
Speaker 1:I will ask what made you kind of go more into the green thumb type shit?
Speaker 2:uh, yours, I might as well make some use of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I get that. Okay, good shit, jesus, I really haven't been up to much, got my benefits.
Speaker 2:Yay.
Speaker 1:Fuck, did I already say I got an offer?
Speaker 2:Yeah, the one we talked about, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that starts not this week coming up. It was supposed to be this week but the next week.
Speaker 2:So you're going to take it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I took it. Yeah, I got to get some. I got to, you know, got to do some shit. I just can't sit on my ass all day. I feel like a bum. Yeah, that's about it. But so in this episode we're going to try to, you know, keep this kind of short, kind of you know kind of go through some things. You guys know how we do this. I've been on the Internet perusing stuff. I guess the first thing that I want to talk about is King of the Hill is coming back with a new. Well, they're coming back with a rival series. There's a preview out for it right now, just the intro and stuff, and within that intro it tells you a lot of shit there's a leak trailer actually too yeah it's not just the, it's not just the intro, it's also the trailer for it.
Speaker 2:But um yeah, sure it.
Speaker 1:I like what I'm seeing. I I really am it's it's, it's hard. It's hard for I think it's hard for shows like that that came out early 2000s and the 90s because it was a totally different climate. It's hard for shows to come back out and kind of you know you can't come back and do the same shit because it might not get like the the same amount of people to come back to it and it might. Some people might find some stuff offensive.
Speaker 2:Now right it'll be tone deaf, so like yeah, that's why I like that they did change it up a bit like in the revival bobby's 21 damn I thought that nigga was 30.
Speaker 1:I didn't know he was 21. He looks old as fuck, sorry he's 21 um.
Speaker 2:And then you have hank and peggy yeah you basically have the whole entire crew right, and I forgot that there's actually four people now that have passed, that were on the original show. So you got luan, you got lucky you got uh dale, and now john red cord just died, so yeah, that was crazy yeah, that was a crazy one, um, but yeah, I'm excited to see where what happens.
Speaker 1:I think it's coming out in august, don't know the exact date, but it looks good though. It looks good. That also just brought up the topic to me that I always used to think like who was the smartest person in King of the Hill? And the smartest person was always Dale. To me, he was so just conspiracy theorist that all the information that he had in his head just made him like really fucking intelligent to me so I I partially agree, but I don't all the way agree.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree that, like his conspiracy theories were like okay, yeah, but I feel like it was boomhauer because at the end of the series you find out he's a texas ranger yeah, and so it kind of like if you go off of dale's conspiracy theories and everything he's was planning there to watch Overdell and make sure he doesn't do no wild shit. But I would say probably if you had to go with not the kids or whatever, I would probably say Bill Maher.
Speaker 1:And then I would still say that Bill like we know Bill as he is now, but when you look at previous episodes, Bill was his high school. Yeah, bill was the man like. Bill was fit, he went into the army and everything went downhill after he went through the marriage and everything to Lenore and everything like that. And then another big thing to me is that bill is multilingual because he speaks french. Yeah, he does, he speaks french. Um, the dumbest person on the show, peggy peggy, yeah, and we all know.
Speaker 2:But we all know somebody like peggy who is like I don't want to. I'm gonna put it like they're they're pseudo smart, yeah, and they think they're right and then, like you try to prove them wrong and they're like no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:Like you don't prove they're like no, I'm like okay, whatever yeah, peggy, peggy, the, the, when, when I knew Peggy was always kind of dumb to me because, first of all, her Spanish was always fucked, always fucked. It wasn't even broken, it was just fucked, right. Yep, uh, there was an episode where she, uh, she got like this fake phd scam and they had to go back and get their money back and all this shit. Yeah, she was smart enough to make the plan, but hank from like, the beginning of the episode was like it takes like years to get a PhD. Peggy, it's not just she, she was on a computer all night and printed out a PhD.
Speaker 2:The only thing she was really good with was Boggle. Yeah, I've heard that.
Speaker 1:Yeah. She was a.
Speaker 2:Boggle champ.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But like not even just that, but like she's one of those people that is like super arrogant and like just thinks she's better than everybody. Yeah, like she's one of those people that's like super arrogant and like just thinks she's better than everybody Yup. Like you remember, like her spaghetti, like I forgot what she called it.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, peg, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that. And then like when she did the whole like foot mulling thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh my God. She, was she honestly. Luann, who's usually like portrayed as the dummy in the show, was actually 10 times smarter than Peggy.
Speaker 2:She had more of an emotional intelligence. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And I would say the my favorite person, just because you can see how they progress through the series and stuff. And just because you can see how they progress through the series and stuff, like I think hank had a really good progression because he became more open to certain things that he wasn't at first and the person that really got him into those things was bobby wait a minute, hold on, because I just randomly thought about this and now I'm sitting here thinking yeah did we ever see joseph? In the in the preview.
Speaker 2:Or is he there?
Speaker 1:oh yeah, he is there's at the end of it, when they're like I think bobby continued to do that meat thing that he was doing and they were there and hank was on one side and bobby was on the other and joseph was like sitting on like something. He was there one side and Bobby was on the other and Joseph was like sitting on like something. He was there, though Joseph was there how can I have Joseph?
Speaker 1:he was there and it's just. Bobby was the most like progressive person in that fucking show, just because he wasn't afraid to do different things, but he also wasn't afraid to do different things.
Speaker 1:But he also wasn't afraid to get his parents and tell his parents, like when, when Peggy was ashamed of like her big feet, it took her son to come into the room and say I get picked on all the fucking time. But he said I got a girlfriend, I got friends. He was like and I'm a go out there and make them laugh every fucking time. So you know, I'm not. Nobody can tell me shit yeah, that's true yeah, bobby.
Speaker 1:Bobby was like the, the best person and I hope they don't make that like. It doesn't look like they're making that decline. It looks like they're making that kind of like his, his thing you know, which I appreciate that for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1:So that's cool. Also, you guys know how we do this. I have screenshots just going through shit. There's one, oh man. Okay, I don't know how you're going to feel about this. I brought it up to you and, like I said, I don't know how. I don't know how you're going to feel about this. I really don't All right. So, okay, what we are going to do, complex Music has said. Meg Thee stallion reveals that she is working on a new anime with boondocks producer carl jones.
Speaker 2:The show will air on amazon prime video cool, yes I really like I don't really have much to say about it. Like a lot of people know, I'm a boondocks fan through yeah, so I feel like it's going to be a good anime.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:With, you know, at least, the producers of the Boondocks being involved.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:I just hope it. I don't want to know what the plot is going to be. That's my main thing, Because Just some animes that we have the plot just is flat, Like Kingdom Busters. That plot was just flat and like it didn't live up to the expectations. But people tried to hype it up because it was a black anime. But we just gotta see how it's gonna be.
Speaker 1:Um some people like I, we did a, I posted a clip about us talking about the theme song of cannon busters almost like a year ago, yeah, and some people said they like that anime, like they, they love it. It just wasn't.
Speaker 2:It wasn't for me, you know what I mean for me, yeah, yeah you know um, so that's one thing you know.
Speaker 1:Hope it goes well for um. I hope it goes well. I know there was a big incident with uh her and dream con yeah, that whole. Thing we ain't going into that shit cause I don't want to. But, um, you know, if you went to DreamCon, hope you had a good time. It seems like DreamCon is becoming something totally different. I could be wrong, but it seems like it's going in a path of uh.
Speaker 2:I don't know it's a what it's a clout fest.
Speaker 1:That's what it seems like um, you know, so congratulations. I don't. You know, so congratulations, I don't fucking know. So this is also another big one for me personally, because I did actually like the series and this is kind of going to bring some people back to some old sonic shit. But if you are watching the one piece live action, this is chopper and now this looks okay. But would you be surprised if I told you that people have a problem with this?
Speaker 2:anything, so it doesn't really surprise me. But what is people's problems with this?
Speaker 1:um, it doesn't look like the animated chopper, right it? It's kind of giving the whole like remember the first sonic that they um, remember the sonic before the movie came out? They previewed the the sonic that they had and he looked like a fucking long-legged. You know nobody liked him yeah nobody liked him.
Speaker 1:He didn't look anything. He looked like an adult. Yeah, yeah, right now they. And then they redid it, got his eyes right and everything. The big thing with this is it's kind of in that same realm. I think they want more of the animation, chopper and also the.
Speaker 1:I saw some people complaining about the voice of chopper, chopper's voice. Now, to me, chopper's voice is a little bit more high-pitched, a little bit more high-pitched to me, which you know it's fine. I think this looks great. Personally, I think this looks great. You know, people are going to complain about shit and talk about shit all the time, but I think this actually looks really good for a preview of it. And this is coming.
Speaker 1:He's supposed to be showing within in 2026, um, if I'm not mistaken, I saw that the one piece, uh, the person that plays luffy. He got caught with like a gun charge or something like that. No, real shit. I'm so sick I could be wrong. Yeah, I saw it a lot. You can't really always find that shit credible, but he got caught with like a gun or something whatever. Um, so, yeah, that's you know. I think that some people are going to have opinions about it, but I think this looks pretty good. I mean, hat the antlers, everything like that. Hopefully they do the storyline well, and you know, we just got to see what happens. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if people protest this shit though. For sure, for sure. Um, so yeah, that was uh something else that I came across. If you're into roller skating and you like uh jet set radio, you will, you might want to go ahead and get yourself some, uh, sega themed skates, um celebrating 25 years of jet set radio.
Speaker 1:Um, I don't know if they're available for purchase, but actually I do know how to inline skate. I actually learned how to inline skate before, like the four wheel, like the I mean it's four wheels, but I don't know what they call the ones that are kind of squared off skating, yeah, but I learned how to inline skate first. But, um, you know, I saw this, thought it was something that was pretty cool to see. You know, jet set radio is something that we talked about before and, um, I love seeing collabs and stuff like this because these look fucking amazing. I like the highlight of green and all that shit, the little details and the wheels and everything. It looks good. It looks really, really good, um, so, definitely, definitely, if you're into skating and stuff or just collecting shit and you just like the game, definitely go for it. If I was like, really into the game, like that, I would have bought these pretty quick, really, really quick.
Speaker 1:Um, and then sorry, you guys, I'm just going through screenshots. This is just, uh, what I do. I just be on my phone just looking at shit. Seriously, uh, you know. Oh, by the way, you guys, um, cracked my phone at the gun range as 22 Ultra fell right on his face. Oh, why don't you have a screen protector? Yes, I know, didn't have one, so I had a case though cracked it and I sat there and I thought why the fuck do I feel this way over a fucking phone? Yeah, that's right, christopher, because it was almost twelve hundred fucking dollars, right. And then I said that to myself out loud and I said, oh my gosh, this is a twelve hundred dollar fucking phone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when it comes. I'm at this point now I talked about this before when it comes to cars, no higher than 2010. When it comes to cell phones, a thousand and below. Can't do that shit, no more. I was fine rolling with Motorola phones and dealing with two to three updates and then just getting a new one because they're under like 500 bucks and you get.
Speaker 1:You get what you can out of it and just go get another one. They have expandable memory. Some of them have a stylus on them cool but the phones that I'm looking at, that I want to get, are, is a brand called nothing. I think the nothing phones look really nice, the OS looks really nice and I think it's a pretty good company based in London and all that shit. But the biggest thing right now is seeing if I can get this shit to work on Verizon. These phones don't hit certain bands that Verizon needs for the 5G and 4G. It hits them, but you have to callizon in order to get the phone whitelisted.
Speaker 1:I love that yeah, no, that's why I don't miss those days at all that's what makes me like. That's what's kind of making me go away from it a little bit, because I'm like shit. I buy this shit, it's like and they're under like 500 bucks, nothing over 500. But if I buy this shit, get it shipped over to me and I can't use it, then I just have a fucking.
Speaker 1:I mean I can sell it wait yeah, I have a paperweight, you know, um, so, yeah, that's always, uh, fucking fun not really. But you know, I cracked that. Oh man, I cracked that phone. It was sad I was, I was. It hurt me a little bit. It really hurt because on the way home from the range I was just sitting there like damn, I dropped that phone tons of times and this is the one time that motherfucking cracked and my manager was sitting next to him.
Speaker 1:He was like why don't you have a screen protector? I was like marcus, shut the fuck up. I was like marcus shut the fuck up man, shut the fuck up man. I know that. I know that shut up. So, um, yeah, so that was cool, uh, and then, so this is also just random stuff that we came across. Also, if you're listening to the audio of this, also, make sure that we actually I actually do post the video on youtube and we actually do have it on spotify too, so you can listen to the audio in the video um such a weird segue, yeah no, just because I just realized I had these screenshots and people would be like what the hell?
Speaker 1:um, I don't know if I talked about this last week. I probably didn't. No, I didn't, la, uh no yeah, two is uh coming out, another rockstar game. Rockstar is just trying to no, it is I.
Speaker 2:I feel like this is not legit.
Speaker 1:What makes you say that?
Speaker 2:Because Rockstar right now will be more focused on the GTA 6 out than getting it out. They're trying to push this out. We've been calling for a remake or a sequel for this game for a hot minute. I played the first one. I loved the first one. It was amazing it was. I don't know If you ever played Heavy Rain or Detroit Become Human. It's in that realm of games. I find those really interesting just because it's outside of the gaming norm.
Speaker 2:You don't see too many games like that, Right and so yeah, understandable, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1:I'm with you. You know, it's not really a lot of this stuff that I see A lot of. It is mostly rumor. I would think Rockstar is kind of focusing on GTA. I know that a lot of people would probably prefer Rockstar to focus on GTA. So, yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely and all right. So that's all the screenshots, not a lot, not a lot of screenshots. But there was one more thing I was thinking about with the whole King of the Hill shit. Yes, so this is off topic like a motherfucker, but I was just thinking about, like it's really off topic, and I wanted to talk about this weeks ago, but I was thinking about forrest gump, right, okay and I probably might get demolished if I post this clip.
Speaker 1:I probably will. People will be like ugh, but I think in Forrest Gump, the person that fucking just made me fucking pissed off in Forrest Gump, you know, I think you know who I'm going to say you know who I'm going to say Fucking Jenny.
Speaker 2:Yeah, everybody hates Jenny Fuck.
Speaker 1:Jenny. Jenny was a cancer. Oops, sorry, did she? Did she die from cancer? In the movie? He died from aids, oh okay. So, dude, forrest, gump forrest was just like a real chill dude, you know, doing what he had to do, got rich, had ideas, played ping pong for the military, gave his friend, gave money to his uh, made a business with his uh military friend that passed away, that died in war. Bubba gave money to the family and everything. And then jenny, through all this shit, jenny pops up. Forest just happens to see Jenny in these random places and she never, ever, ever wants to be with Forest.
Speaker 1:Right, wait a minute, not until she gets sick and she's like Forest, please, I need you to be Captain Saboho and help me. Oh yeah, Forrest, Also, you have a son.
Speaker 2:That wasn't his son. Let's be real, that was not his son. That wasn't his son she just pawned this little boy off on Forrest, because she knew that Forrestrest was gonna be there to take care of this kid when she was dead and gone. She had nobody else to fucking do it. Let's let's be for real okay like oh shit she was terrible. She was like I'm gonna go out here and live like my hot girl summer life for like a hot minute.
Speaker 2:Oh shit, I'm sick and I'm dying oh let me get some shit in order real quick yeah hey Forrest.
Speaker 1:I heard that you're rich. I heard you got some money, man. What's up with that? What's up with that? Heard you got some money, man. I mean, I'm not saying I need it, but but I kind of need it. I need that shit, and I got a kid too. You too, you okay with that? You know what? Don't even. You don't even gotta think about it, I'm just gonna come on right in.
Speaker 2:You gonna fall in love with him and everything it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 1:Like come the fuck on. I thought about that and I was like I think what made me think about that is I was thinking about Peggy from King of the Hill and the theory that technically, bobby is not boom, but is Dale excuse me, is Bill's son that's impossible.
Speaker 2:No, not when they break it down that's impossible no, it's not, it's very not. Peggy hates Bill okay, why else would you hate somebody that much?
Speaker 1:Peggy hates bill with a passion. Okay, thinks he's disgusting and as like a human being and and also also I think hank would have kicked bill's ass anyway. Or are you saying Is this some like Dale John Redcorn Type shit?
Speaker 2:Yes, it's some dead John Redcorn type shit. Okay, anyways. So like they like to mention that episode, remember that episode where, like Bill takes Bobby to like, was it like his family or his like long lost relatives, or whatever when they went to Louisiana, yeah, when they went to louisiana yeah, when they went to louisiana.
Speaker 2:He's like teaching him all this shit because he has no kids. He's just teaching you know bobby, all this shit. Um, and then they like to bring up the fact that you know, it's kind of weird that like they never had another kid outside of like that one that they had, and like he had a narrow urethra, so like, yeah, it's a lot of stuff that goes on with it, but there's a lot of conspiracy theories in the show if you ever look them up.
Speaker 1:But that's just one I, uh, you know the biggest we already know about the biggest one when it comes to king of the hill is when, um, people like bill, not bill but dale knew that nancy was cheating on him with john reddick. Dale can't be that oblivious. You can't be a conspiracy theorist and be that oblivious to. I remember there was an episode when dale helped john redcorn um get his land back and dale was like he knew about this government program that allowed him to get all the documentation. What was that shit? Not naffed, I forgot, but he helped them, like, get his land back and stuff. I really do think that Dale knew that that kid wasn't his right.
Speaker 2:So there's like another episode that people like to use to like support that I forgot what episode it was, but like he was basically talking about like him being with nancy and like how lucky he was to be with nancy there, and like you know, like, oh, yeah, like she chose me. Like you know, like, oh, I should be thankful for that. Like yeah, it was like that. Or like you remember the first, like I think it's like in the first few episodes yeah, good where they go. Where they go I'm thinking about.
Speaker 1:I'm thinking about something go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. I'll tell you.
Speaker 2:But you remember? Okay, they were on that eagle scout trip yeah and it was like bobby and joseph and then john redcorn and they're trying to do like the secret, sacred thing and like joseph is like and not joseph, but like john redcorn is trying to teach joseph these things about his culture.
Speaker 1:Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah another reason why peggy was so fucking stupid was because peggy couldn't tell that john redcorn wasn't fucking dale's child and believed that dale was like half jamaican.
Speaker 2:That is the dumbest shit that she was like when she found out she's like nancy's having an affair. Yeah, like, because me ming was like, men was like oh my gosh, he's, she's having an affair.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like cause. Ming was like. Ming was like oh my gosh, she's having an affair. She was like on Dale. Oh, I already knew that. When did you know?
Speaker 2:Everybody knows it didn't take that long.
Speaker 1:And then Ming is like oh my God, Becky, you didn't know, I'm a con. Who am I gonna tell?
Speaker 2:Who I'm gonna tell, I'm gonna tell khan, and then she just falls in line afterwards.
Speaker 1:She's like because she was gonna tell him and she's like no, yep, I think what you know who we didn't see in the preview khan I see, we see ming yeah, we see ming, but we don't see khan no, I don't remember seeing me because we we see um k, but we don't see Khan at all Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. They also had a black neighbor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I think he was staying in their spot where they were gone.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because supposedly they went to Saudi Arabia to do work for a couple years and came back, and now they're retiring it back in Ireland. What?
Speaker 1:are they?
Speaker 2:doing. They're totally working, propane, I guess.
Speaker 1:Wow, I guess that makes sense. Holy shit, damn. Okay, because we already, I mean, and we saw, I think we saw what was Cotton's wife's name.
Speaker 2:Oh, I know who you're talking about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you see her and like his kid yep yeah, yeah, hanks brother, yeah yeah, um, so that's always cool. Um, I I god, I think that preview looks amazing. I thought it was good. I think I know we're talking about it a lot, but I watch a lot of king of the hill like it's my comfort show. Yeah, I have it on when I go to sleep, because it's just something. I've seen all the episodes.
Speaker 2:I'm probably gonna watch it when I get done with this anyways same, but um I'm on my, I'm on my job. Fan. Like I love beavis and butthead I was like three or four watching beavis and butthead. Love daria daria's like one of my favorite like shows and my other lessons. And then I love king of the hill because my mom loved that show and we used to watch it all the time.
Speaker 1:So just like yeah, it's, it's fucking great, it is fucking amazing. Um, it was something else too. Those uh not really seeing a lot of people talking about those. Damn uh 50.
Speaker 2:Sixes, Yep, Don't see those a lot Um at all luck you guys trying to get a switch to yes yes, I forgot about that.
Speaker 1:switch to is coming out. What the 10th, if the fifth have fun with that shit? Also, the xbox, um, like their live showcase? Yeah, the showcase, I think, is next week, so be prepared for that. I think a lot of people might be kind of surprised at what happens at that, but we'll see. But that switch thing, if y'all have fun, have at it. I'm expecting somebody to die, I'm expecting some fights.
Speaker 2:People are already mad because they've been canceling orders like oh for real. Yeah, especially walmart's been canceled right?
Speaker 1:yeah, I think. I think it's going to be like this until the next year. So if you plan on getting a new switch for your child for christmas, good luck. You are going to be paying if you really want it. You are going to be paying over price like a motherfucker be prepared during christmas time.
Speaker 2:They're probably close to a thousand dollars.
Speaker 1:Yeah oh yeah, oh yeah. You want. Oh what black friday? There is no black friday deal. The deal is you get to see them. That's the deal. Shit, you might get scammed because you might, honestly, somebody might just like put it in.
Speaker 2:I feel like somebody is going to get some old granny. They're going to put like a switch one and a switch two box and be like here you go, yup have fun getting those things.
Speaker 1:Just wait, wait like a good year. I'm sorry, but if you got the money to spend, it, do it it's not even like for me.
Speaker 2:It's not even the case of the money, like I have the money to get it. It's just like it's gonna be hard to get and I don't even use my like switches I have now, so I'm kind of good if you, it's kind of like if you already have a switch.
Speaker 1:The only thing that really changes are features. That's it. It's it. Screen is bigger, all that shit. Different joy cons, the way that they attach all that shit. Everything else is the same. The dock changes. Yes, a lot of shit changes, but you're still able to play the games. You're still going to be getting updates, probably on the old ones, and just just hold on to what you got. The trade in values aren't worth it. It's just not. Just hold on to it. Get the games that you want, even though games are going to be going up too. So be prepared for that. Games are going up for everybody, everything that you can think of, except for PC, because you know we got the deals don't say that, because they probably start going up too true, true, true.
Speaker 1:But console wise, they gonna hit. So, um, accessories, form controllers, all that shit is gonna take a hit. It has no choice but to take a hit competition wise and all that shit is going to take a hit. It has no choice but to take a hit Competition-wise and all that shit. They got to stay at this fucking stupid-ass rat race. For sure, for sure.
Speaker 2:Now I'm sitting here thinking about when we're talking about PC games. You know what I have not seen in a hot minute? A fucking Steam sale, and usually those are like clockwork.
Speaker 1:Yeah, was there not one for Memorial Day?
Speaker 2:You know sale and usually those are like clockwork yeah, was there not one for memorial day?
Speaker 1:you know what? I don't think. I saw one. I think it has to be one for the fourth, then it has to be one for the fourth. July has to be, has to be, it's gotta come, it has to. Um, you know, I've been playing a lot of skyrim. I just been playing skyrim a lot and I hate creation club I hate creation club it's so stupid.
Speaker 1:I bought I um got the telekinesis arrows from the creation club a fucking waste. It's cool. It's a cool concept, love it. The best thing from the creation club but it's actually free is the. It's a kind of like a little expansion that allows you to get a new light armor that's made of amber. It's like a amber light armor, which is pretty nice, um, but some of some of the mods like I have a smelting mod on it that I can smelt like jewelry and all this shit got my blacksmithing up to like a hundred. I'm only using light armor, so I was able to get to the dragon scale light armor pretty quickly. It's great, um, but I hate that creation club man. That creation club is such bullshit, such bullshit man.
Speaker 2:I I can not stand it, so I forgot, I forgot all about that, why it actually exists. I was watching a video like a couple weeks ago, and so you remember when bethesda was trying to like well, not was it bethesda, or was it just mods in general, it was. I forgot where it was. It was it was it. See, I can't remember, but somebody was trying to charge people for mods, yeah, yep and like which.
Speaker 2:I mean it's a good thing? I don't, and kind of a bad thing, but like you gotta think these people put in countless, countless, countless, countless, countless amount of hours to like make these mods for these games, yep, and so like paying them. You, it's the right thing, right, but like I mean, yeah, you're right, maybe not as much as the game, but like something Like. Okay, like here.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But like it was that. But then people were like, well, why am I paying for somebody that doesn't work for the company you know, or somebody that does this in their free time or whatever? Yada, yada, yada. And so Bethesda was like, oh, Is that? What you want.
Speaker 1:And now the.
Speaker 2:Christian Club is this Right, horrible shit, man.
Speaker 1:I'm not the biggest fan of it. Like I said, some of the stuff in there is pretty cool, but most of it is just trying to get some money out the pocket. I mean, I get it, I get it, I do, but it's kind of shit um it was, I think.
Speaker 2:I think mods that like, do a complete and like oh yeah total overhaul of the game.
Speaker 1:Those are definitely worth like yeah, like the fallout, the fallout like british or the england. One new new london yeah, like great new voice acting all that shit that's like a whole new game, yeah like this slot, this sky um sky oblivion that's supposedly coming out.
Speaker 1:I would pay for that just because it's something different. It it's taking time and effort and I would want the creators of that to get some type of compensation for that, because they put in some hard work on that shit. For sure, for sure, testing and everything like that Amazing. I think that's great. I think that's really good. Oh shit, I had an interview with on, I think I told you on Friday with the yeah.
Speaker 2:Shake-up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. It was a contract government position. Yeah right, I was like what the fuck? But that's pretty cool. It would be remote, which is pretty nice. That's nice.
Speaker 2:I was talking to a friend of mine and the guy said it would be remote, which is pretty nice.
Speaker 1:That's nice. Yeah, I was talking to a friend of mine and we got into this conversation about within the workplace. Yes, what do you prefer to work on? Like a Mac or Windows machine? Mac, all the fucking way, all the way.
Speaker 2:So I've worked on well, like we all worked on both, but like I don't know, I've kind of gotten used to like ThinkPads.
Speaker 1:ThinkPads are good. I'm talking about like ThinkPads are good. Yeah, I, from an admin, from a system admin perspective, I love working with Macs. Just because I like working with jamf, just because I can control everything security wise, I can you know y'all know where we are yeah, backup and all that, yeah, I love that shit, so that's just me.
Speaker 1:To me, those goddamn Windows machines, man, I've done procurement before for as a system admin for laptops and stuff. I know for a fact that a MacBook unless you do some crazy shit you're like spilling shit on it or something like that you will get a good at least three to four years out of those shits, maybe even five. Those Windows machines, though, let me tell you something I already need a refresh.
Speaker 2:Let me tell you.
Speaker 1:I have put in a lot of tickets for repairs and stuff and a lot of shit does not fall under warranty with these Windows machines, compared to the AppleCare, it's a totally different world.
Speaker 2:Yeah, think about it, though. The AppleCare is an extended warranty to cover all this shit. Not many laptop manufacturers are offering that, so there's that's that.
Speaker 1:Yep, so that was also something that was like, that's also like why I prefer mac overs um windows. You know, it's just something that's uh, that I enjoy and I like oh, is there anything else that you wanted to add? Do you want to let people know about our next guest or you want that to be just?
