How you doing, bud? Pretty good jerf and yeah, the nine hundred episode probationary period is up. I think we're going to last after that's going for. I think it's going to work out just fine for us. There's some sort of statute of limitations. We also have to read the documentation on and like what that also allows us to do moving forward. It's very exciting time here at GiantBomb. That's right. What are you doing? Not going to giantbomb dot com slash join, supporting the business, supporting the programs, supporting the content you want to see. Please head over there. We also have a merch store, a brand new merch store. If you've never heard about it, it's not new at all. Actually, it's been there for a very long time. Store dot giantbottom. com, go check out all the merch and all the stuff that's there at the moment. There's good . Did you hurt somebody? No, I don't we were all just agreeing with your assessment of the merch store. Yeah, I didn't realize I ended up getting two pairs of the joggers and I don't regret it. Now I'm just gonna throw those in on rotation. Very happy with that. You do need to rotate your joggers folks. They're like tires . You have to keep them even . My admirable ass wears them out. Yeah, you got to be careful. Or they will the tread on the butt pads will get worn down. You can't have that. Doesn't handle the grub butt well. Yeah, yeah. My dad has a similar philosophy with clothing. He just won't wear it. Like he'll buy a new thing and they' bed like, what are we gonna do? Wear this and have it wear out ? That is , but that's it I remember growing up going into his bedroom and being like, Oh man,, a lot of your clothes still have tags on 'em. What's that about? He was like, Whoa, what am I gonna wear this clothes? I'm like, I guess I suppose I suppose you're not. I don't know why. No, I have I have the young newer version of that rub can relate where my very pretty shirts from the Yetty, I don't want them to like because they only last so long 'cause you're routed shirts from the Yeti. What does that mean? Oh hello b andars . Yeah. We have a hole . This wear I did, I don't know what happened with Sean, but me, I hit my midlife crisis. There was a time in my life I would never wear video game shirts and then I was like , I' gonnam die one day. I like video games. I'm gonna put them on my goddamn shirts. I don't care anymore. And so Yeti is one of these t shirt vendors that always has like one for like a day or two and you gotta get in there and get them and they're relatively afford able. They're like eighteen dollars , but you get what you pay for. It's like a threadless kind of situation? Definitely. Yeah. Is threadless the ones that are print on demand? Like you could do it yourself or not. I think the way the way Threadless used to do it was like they would, I think they would, I don't know if they bought designs from artists and then like featured them for some sort of time. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like threadless. Yes, yeah. Same thing. Riptapparel does a similar thing as well where they just have like a daily featured artist. But I see I have the exact opposite. My dad still wears t shirts that I gave him after I was done working for gaming retail. Let's put it that in two thousand nine . So and my mom has to beg him, get more shirts. He's like, Now they're perfectly good shirts. What's the matter with you? Everything's fine. I cannot relate to the leave tags on clothes. That's just not how I was grown. I was raised. It just doesn't translate the old shirt I wore yesterday, I got from a thrift shop in the year . Wait, I thought that 's old fart I got it. I thought it also said old fart when I bought it. People say it's old fork. It's old fort, but old phr itase. It's my old fart shirt. It definitely is my old fart shirt because the O what is this? The O definitely has the kind of hanging a curse of line thing going on. Got a real loose , loose A there. It sounds like it's an A on that old fort design. I did see someone in Chad saying, Why the hell is Grow wearing a shirt that says old font on it? Like old font s that old font. That's just kids not being able to recursive though Sean, that's all that was. Correct . I mean even when we were in elementary, I remember being like, this ain't gonna be cursive on . What if accusing the youth of not keeping up or something? Don't know cursive. That's a waste of time. What incred anible waste of time . Yeah, yeah. It is. I couldn't tell you the last time I wrote Cursive and I learned that first or fourth through sixth grade and we learned school. It was so much time spent on learning cursive. We spent . Think of it so much it's so much shame for not being able to use it like going to your award ceremony and having that penmanship award where that person could just walk around being like, yes, I wasted the most time learning cursive look at me. And I'm sorry. Your only response why learning cursive is that how are you going to sign your name? Listen come put your ear close to the speaker. It doesn't matter. Fuck you . Okay . You that's dumb as hell. Who cares? All right. Yeah , like you go, I can't you didn't sign your name . Therefore, it is not a binding . You can patrol picture there. It doesn't matter. ninety nine percent of shit is signed with a freaking clicky button on a document these days. Anyway, who gives a shit? Yeah, I typed my name and it made cursive for me on a document just yesterday and I was like I pay a computer to write in person for me Can we go back to the t shirt thing for a second? If you guys had to run your own t shirt brand, like what would be like the general vibe or sort of the theme of it because I was thinking the other day, I would love to have the time to start a t shirt brand that just takes dead trademarks from companies that don't exist anymore and sell that shit. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh whoa, I need to yourself. Oh my good giving away the ideas. All right. No . No , man. Investigator trademarked to trade rubs. Yeah. I'm pretty sure Rub Bubble also dabbles in currently copying something true. Oh my god . I think I got a virtual boy shirt from Red Bubble once, yeah. Tell me interested in keeping that trademark, but also they are. I'm a basic bitch, right? You know what my t shirt company would be like it would be like a Satanic pimball. Yeah, sculpt and stuff. That's awesome though. You know? I do like that a lot . I think I would like I like the logos where it's like an actual company logo, but it says something else . Like Coca Cola cursive, there it is again, but it says like, you know, street fighter or something like that of brains, that sort of thing , classic stuff. The classic picture of like the cast of Seinfeld and it just says Nirvana underneath stupid . Like my favorite one is it's Garfield, right? The Garfield and Friends logo, but it says neon Genesis even yelling and it makes me laugh every single time. Just dumb shit like that. I would make t shirts that I hope would make people laugh. That's that would be what I would want to do. There was a guy at Pax that sold just a bunch of different Pokemon t shirts, but all the Pokemon were like rebranded as something else. So Badoof, is that one of them, Sean? Badoo Yeah, Bedoo. Yep. Badoof was Badoofies, like Buckies. So was Badoof in the Bucky's fall and they stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah, one of my favorites now it's a blastoys, but it's Baha Blastoys. I keep making it. I like one of those shirts, but they like keep getting taken down for who knows what reason . But then some people take it too far. I was at a local convention, too many games here in Oaks, Pennsylvania, and they had poor Kirby and it said Hawk Tillah and I'm like no that back here . Well, he doesn't spin on that thing. He sucks up that thing. So yeah, I take advantage of spits it out when he's done. Yeah, that's true. He can it's all part of it just pissed me off from the from the point of view of like you got to do , you got to put in more effort
