This is Joker. I just wanted to go ahead and throw out a Disclaimer for parts one and two of episode 13 as I'm a dumbass and did not take consideration that there would be Echo from a USB Mike XLR Mike combo for this episode. You get to hear Jordan very well, but myself is very echo-y. And then on top of that, again, dumbass move on my part, I turn down my mic output so I'll be low and echo-y for the majority of these two parts. Please bear with us. It won't last. The next episode 14 will be so much better, but yeah, thanks again and we will see you on the other side. Peace. [Joker]: So welcome to the only podcast where we are crazier than the life you deal with daily. This is the Mad House. I'm Joker. And then today, of course, I am joined by Unreal aka Jordan who is a part of the Madhouse community. [Unrealstyle]: Hello everyone, [Joker]: and lives local to me. So today, oh God, we are going to be talking about X-Men Origin, Wolverine. So the first standalone Wolverine movie. [Unrealstyle]: They did it justice. [Mad House Present Group Therapy Introduction Music] [Joker]:though there was very one comedic portion in there where I was highly confused at why they made it so comic. But we'll get to that part later. [Unrealstyle]: Okay. [Joker]: When we get to that particular part of the movie. So doing it justice, what do you mean by that? Is there a particular part that you feel or is it just in general? [Unrealstyle]: In general, really. Because sometimes when they do origin stories, they do things that just kind of ruin it. They added some things, they changed some things, but I feel like they did the movie justice. [Joker]: Okay. Now where we start out with I found out via the Wiki page for the movie is that we start out in the 1800s originally. We all knew that as far as Wolverine's original years on Earth. [Unrealstyle]: Right. [Joker]: Those that listen to the movies, watch the cartoons and partaked in the original comic books that talked about the Weapon X in the 90s, I believe it was when the Weapon X series of comics came out. Or they talked about him being born in the 1800s. [Unrealstyle]: Right. [Joker]: So we got a little bit of clarification via the Wiki page, which we don't necessarily know how accurate it is unless we look at the script itself. But they're saying around 1845. So this would have been well after the Revolutionary War and just prior to the Civil War. [Unrealstyle]: Yes. [Joker]: Because it was 1880s, I think was a Civil War. [Unrealstyle]: I believe so. [Joker]: God, I think I'd remember these things by now. Let's see, [Unrealstyle]: They went through so many wars, it's kind of hard to keep up. [Joker]: 1865 was the end date. [Unrealstyle]: Okay. [Joker]: Yeah, that's about right. About 20 years. So yeah, he would have been fairly young back then. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah, he would have been 20s early… [Joker]: because he was in 1845, if that was the time frame that they're giving us. Because Logan or James, as they called him [Unrealstyle]: Yeah [Joker]: James Logan was what looked like about eight, nine ish because Victor looked [Unrealstyle]: Yeah [Joker]: about twelve to 14. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah, [Joker]: about right [Unrealstyle]: Yeah [Joker]: as far as the depictions. So, yeah, he would have been in his 20s or so during the Civil War. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah. [Joker]: All right, so during this first scene, of course, Logan or James is sick in bed as a child. And this, of course, is when his powers first show face. [Unrealstyle]: Yes. [Joker]: Now, we find out that his father, Logan. We find out that his father… Is there still an Echo? No, there shouldn't be now. Yeah, we're definitely going to have to pay the money to get dynamic mics because this is trash. Here, let me turn mine down. Didn't sound that echoey when we did the other ones, but whatever. Yeah, it'll happen. You just got to remember to tap it on. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah. [Joker]: Oh, God. Anyhow, what was I saying? Oh, yeah. So we find out that James or Wolverine's dad isn't really his dad or his mother slept with one of the groundskeepers, which was Thomas Logan, apparently. Oh, Howlett. Is his real name James Howellt? [Unrealstyle]: Yes. [Joker]: This is so stupid. [Unrealstyle]: I'm having a blast right now. [Joker]: I can imagine. But the grounds keeper, who was Thomas Logan, which is also Victor's father, which they knew about. [Unrealstyle]: Well, I think the mother did, but I'm not entirely sure that the father did because he kind of died before anything could be really identified. [Joker]: Okay, this is going to be horrible. So bad. All right, so when we get through that, of course, the grounds keeper kills Mr. Howellt and announces himself as the boy's father. So then I'm guessing after that, when Logan and Victor run away, that's when he picks up the Logan name, [Unrealstyle]: probably because it's never really been explained where he got the name. We kind of just figured that it was a name that he just chose after he left the group. [Joker]: Yeah. Okay. So from there they run off and then they go through all the wars. Civil War, World War I, World War II. I was thinking the Korean War, but according to the Wiki, they didn't do the Korean War. They just skipped straight to Vietnam War in 1970s. So they completely lapsed the Korean War, which happened in the 60s. And that's where they meet Striker for the first time, in like 1970-75 something like six years later. [Unrealstyle]: 1973 [Joker]: Okay, I see it. So somewhere in early 1970s, late 1970s, he's already a part of Strikers team and they're heading to they've already done their thing during the 70s as a team of Strikers. So it's Wade Wilson, which is, oddly enough, in human form in the Seventies, as an adult, presumably in his mid to early 20s. So that would put him born in 1950, which already is a conflict with the current Deadpool movies. Now with that. So we've got Wade Wilson, John Wraith, who was also known as Kestrel, who was at one point lored to be Nightcrawler's father, which, of course, we find out in Apocalypse. That's not the case. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah, because Nightcrawler's father is supposed to be a Azazel. [Joker]: Yes, and that's confirmed in the next movie. In the Apocalypse movie. But it was at one point, Lord. Hence why John Wraith or Kestrel has the same teleportation style powers minus the cloud of smoke. But Sabertooth or Victor Blob, Christopher Bradley, who was by his mute name known as either the Bolt and Maverick. Yeah, that's it. And what was the sharpshooter's name?[Unrealstyle]: Zero. [Joker]: Zero. That's right. All right, so we've got those going on. Try it. Maybe that won't go as bad. Maybe. Oh, no, that's probably just as bad. Let me turn this down. Is it still bad, Echo? Because I can't hear it. Even if I. Maybe that'll help. It'll all overpower it. Who knows? Anyway, let's see. Yeah, make clips. Go ahead, make clips. I need clips back on track. [Joker]: So they're in the plane, they find the Adamantium or the source of the Adamantium. And then Wolverine decides to leave the team. [Unrealstyle]: Yes. [Joker]: And according to this, it's about a year or six years after the team broke up, where you find Logan as a logger in the Canadian mountains. And he's now with new girlfriend Kayla Silverfox. Silverfox. Of course, we all or those that follow the X Men universe know that she is actually a mutant who is an empath of sorts where she can basically or she's a telepath, a tactile telepath. She has to touch them [Unrealstyle]: Yes [Joker]: to control their mind. So up to this point, as far as the movie and everything, what are your thoughts? [Unrealstyle]: I think it really shows the difference between Victor and Logan because you see, as they went through all the wars, the Civil War, World War One, World War Two, Vietnam, you see Logan slowly start to have more empathy than Victor. Victor starts to just decline as Logan just he can't do it anymore. At first, it was who he was, but then he started to grow to be a different person. Whereas Victor just became literally the animal that he's named after. Really? I mean, he literally became a Hunter of everyone. [Joker]: Hey, all right. He was a beast and they told a story. Or Silverfox told him a story while she was still under in the role of his girlfriend without him really knowing any different. But when Striker and Zero were coming in at that point, he was at work and they were trying to recruit him because at this point, Victor had gone off the beaten path according to the way the plot shows, and killed Bradley, who was Bolt/Maverick while he was doing circus type stuff. Now, when they did that, or he portrayed him as a killer off the rocks and tried to initiate the pit of Logan versus Sabertooth. And what is interesting from there is that they play to t

This is this is the first time I think we've gotten on cam. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah. Yeah, it is. I'm mostly behind the scenes[Joker]: in the chat.[Unrealstyle]: Yeah, pretty much. [Joker]: Which we have in three different locations across the room. [Unrealstyle]: [Laughing][Joker]: Oh, there you go. Hey. All right. Yes, Atari. It is Jordan. [Unrealstyle]: Hi, Atari. Hi, Death, miss you dude.[Joker]: Jordan actually lives not far down the road either. [Unrealstyle]: This is going to be problem, gonna be trouble, the entire time.[Madhouse Presents Group Therapy Music Introduction][Joker]: But without further ado. And did do, I do, you do? We all do.[Unrealstyle]: Oi![Joker]: Oh, fuck. This is bad. Welcome to the only podcast where we are crazier than the life you deal with daily. This is the Madhouse. I'm Joker. And today on the Madhouse Presents Group Therapy, I am joined by none other than Unrealstyle on Twitch, our lovely member of the community, Jordan. [Unrealstyle]: Hello, everyone. [Joker]: And today Group Therapy is giving everybody episode twelve of the X Men universe started with Episode 10. So, we're on the second, no third. Episode 10 was the first movie, X Men. Episode eleven was X-2. And now we are on X Men: The Last Stand. It is the third film in the original franchise. What do you think about that, Jordan? [Unrealstyle]: I think they could have done so much more effort, but the movie was great in itself. They didn't get by it.[Joker]: So, like I was telling you before we started this, I've got the whole list here. So, if you want to take a picture of this, this is the actual lease date, like the cinematic release date of the films.[Unrealstyle]: Okay. [Joker]: This film that we're going to be kind of talking about today was released in 2006, literally. Now, two years after I graduated high school. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah. Don't ask me. I don't do math. 2006. [Joker]: What year did you graduate high school, or did you leave high school?[Unrealstyle]: I believe I was supposed to be the class of 2012. [Joker]: Oh, my God, you baby.[Unrealstyle]: I got nothing. But yeah. So, I was supposed to be class of 2012.[Joker]: You know what I was doing in 2012? Coming back from Afghanistan. Yeah.[Unrealstyle]: I got nothing.[Joker]: Well, we're going to get going again. We're talking about The Last Stand. So, The Last Stand again was released in 2006. Now, we talked about just to kind of summarize what the first two movies did, obviously, X Men One or the original X Men in 2000, which was 22 years ago.[Unrealstyle]: Yeah.[Joker]: I feel the original X Men came out 22 years ago. But originally the original series of X Men was based around Rogue. It wasn't even around Wolverine.[Unrealstyle]: Right. [Joker]: And because of the fame after the first film, that's when Hugh Jackman kind of stole it from Anna Paquin and became the star, the centerpiece of the universe. But they weren't even originally planning to make any more X Men after that[Unrealstyle]: It became a fan favorite, because of that. That's where it went. It blew up that way. [Joker]: Yeah. So, in the second film, X-2, they brought out some fan favorites. As far as the mutants talking about Nightcrawler, dove deeper into Wolverine, Rogue, Cyclops, Iceman, Pyro, Mystique and Magneto. And then there was some nice little not face time cameos. But in one scene that I talked about; you can check back to get the full details on that Episode 11. Also on YouTube, I have every single episode posted. So, until we get affiliate, of course, within a week or two, the VODs fall off of Twitch. So go check out the YouTube channel. You just got to simply search Madhouse Presents Group Therapy and you can find us there as well. But they talked about the Guthrie siblings, Sam and Paige or Cannonball and Husk. Silver Samurai, one of the Weapon X's, the male Weapon X, outside of Logan.[Unrealstyle]: Yeah[Joker]: Kane, Remy LeBeau, who was Gambit. Of course, Magneto, Artie was also in there. They mentioned Multi-man, Karma, the Maximoff twins. Maximoff twins, Scarlet Witch and Silver Surfer. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah. Quicksilver.[Joker]: Thank you, Silver Surfer. It's still the universe, but wrong Silver. Proteus, which was McTaggart’s brother. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah. [Joker]: And then Moonstar. Danielle Moonstar, who was originally Psyche and then transitioned later on in the comic book series to Mirage. So, she was mentioned in there. And then, of course, we got a good glimpse in the second film at the young Colossus, too. [Unrealstyle]: Right [Joker]: Now, with that, we do get a few more glimpses into newer or not newer but cinematic renditions of some more mutants from the X Men universe. I think his name was Archangel.[Unrealstyle]: Angel[Joker]: Just Angel?[Unrealstyle]: Yep[Joker]: Boring. He shows up and has a few parts in it. Colossus gets more screen time in this film. We finally get to see the first mutant version of Hank McCoy as the Beast. And this is where he takes off and gets popularity because in the last film or in X-2, he didn't really get that much screen time. It was just a snippet on a TV in a human form. Let's see. Multi-man gets in the attempted rescue of Mystique on the mobile prison transport. Multi-man actually gets screen time and then Juggernauts makes his first appearance in the live action and then also Leach, which is the one that kind of sets the whole plot line of this movie. So, I think we can go in. So as far as the different mutants, before we get into the actual summary of the plot line, what do you think about the different mutants that showed up? [Unrealstyle]: I think it was good. They definitely branched out from the first two movies because in the first two movies we don't really see, what’s the word for it.[Joker]: What are you trying to say? [Unrealstyle]: The different kinds of unit power.[Joker]: The variety. [Unrealstyle]: Variety. Thank you.[Joker]: Speaking of variety, too, before you continue, is we were in the first episode, so Episode 10, we're talking about the first movie. We did go over the three classifications or the four classifications. I think it was Omega, instead of the tier levels that they talk about in this movie with the class level, but we give them the names, the Omega, Beta, Alpha. Now, they do talk about, in this movie, the class levels instead of Omega level like we talked about in the first or Episode 10. They talk about them. They give them a rank structure as far as numbered tiers. So, one being the lowest, two, three, four and five. Five being Jean Grey and the Dark Phoenix, or Phoenix herself.[Unrealstyle]: Right. All right. [Joker]: Anyway, continue.[Unrealstyle]: No, you're fine. That would just explain the Omega tattoos and cut out in that one pair.[Joker]: Oh yes. When they were doing in the Church or the Cathedral. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah, the meeting. [Joker]: Yeah, it was like the meeting. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah. Because some of them have the Omega like tattoos and then the. [Joker]: Oh, Spike. His name is Spike. [Unrealstyle]: Okay. Spike. He had it buzzed through the back of his head, like as a haircut style.[Joker]: Oh, I did not notice that. [Unrealstyle]: Yeah, you can only see, like when it goes over, you can't really see the other ones. But two of the mutant girls that were with him, they had the Omega tattoos on them. [Joker]: Oh. So, like Calypso. No, it doesn't show in there.[Unrealstyle]: The one that did her hands like that and sent out the shockwave that destroyed all the guns.[Joker]: Yeah. We're going to have to look that one up. Okay. All right. So, going through the summary of the plot line between my notes and what we've got up here, not Jubilee. Jubilee was one of the X Men. This was one of the evil side mutants that aligned themselves with Magneto. But in the beginning, it starts out with a 20-year younger Professor X, when he was just Charles Xavier. He wasn't really a professor at the time. And Eric Lensherr, who of course is Magneto, when they were still friends and Xavier could still walk. Now, of course, the characters are Patrick Stewart and[Unrealstyle]: McCullen.[Joker]: Ian McCullen, just with CGI effects on their face, making them younger or appear younger. And they were going to see[Unrealstyle]: Jean.[Joker]: Gray for the first time. Arclight. Yeah. There we go. Thank you, chats. But ArcLight was the one you were talking about on the evil side. [Unrealstyle]: Yes.[Joker]: But they meet the young Jean Grey, in her home, in the suburbs, which is the first rendition of a young Jean Grey. And during that interaction, she has all of her powers. She is already as a twelve-year-old, I think. Twelve.[Unrealstyle]: Yeah. [Joker]: We'll just say a preteen with class five or Omega level destruction capabilities in her. Like, the Phoenix is already a part of her, in this timeline. Whereas if you watched any of the newer X Men stuff, it's actually not a

So, we've already talked about the the first movie that premiered back in 2000, X Men and the plot-line and what it was intended to be. Also what ended up happening because of fandoms. And we talked about towards the end of that episode, which again was episode ten, some unique features about it, like, why did they make the movie? Who was the main star, who was the intended main star? And then the fact that they actually didn't mean to make another movie after that until, of course, all the popularity came from Hugh Jackman's character, Wolverine. But now here we are, X-2. X-2 premiered in 2003. 2003, of course, being three years after the premiere of X Men. Now, of course, everybody that follows the X Men universe knows that there is a huge following in multiple lineages of comic books.[Mad House Podcast Introduction Music][Joker]: But what we're going to be talking primarily about today is the cinematic universe. The cinematic universe does not always follow with the guidelines and the storylines of the different comic book series of X Men, but it does like to pull from different ones, to include a lot of different mutants that showed up. Now fun fact: I was trying to explain, or not explain, but talk to Owls about how X Men and the Marvel Cinematic Universe are actually quite close, at least from the X Men side of it. Today, we get to kind of dive deeper into that because a lot of mutants that made A list cameo are mentioned or shown in the movie, if you pay attention. So we'll be getting to that. We'll also be talking about the different mutants that show up during the episode or during this movie at different points. And then we'll go into the overall plot line, which I will be using the Wiki link, the Wikipedia link, to kind of skim through the main plot of X Two. And then towards the end of this episode, we will be getting into some fun facts. So “15 things you may not have known about X Two” from a website called Mental Floss.com. All links will be in the show notes: X Men cinematic universe.[Joker]: X-2, X Men United. Why the fuck did they name it like that? X-2, X Men United. Why the fuck couldn't they just name it X Men United? Oh, my goodness. The early 2000s was horrendous when it came to naming things in my mind, like, for real, X-2, X Men United, you just couldn't name it X Men United. What's going on here? What is the big deal with these names? The X Men universe? At least one thing they did. They waited a three year gap between movies or between releases because they had no plan on it. Right? I mentioned that earlier in the beginning, but with this one, they at least did it right in my mind. In my personal opinion, they actually started up where they left off on the other one. So if you remember, in the original X Men, the movie kind of ended with Logan going to Alkali Lake.Professor X drove into his memories and saw Alkali Lake as far as a connection to Logan's past. Cause still, at this point Logan has no memory of his past at all. Like literally at all, except for what Professor X or Xavier was able to pull from his memories, which wasn't very much. With that, we actually start out at the White House. And in the White House, we meet our first mutant, at least our first new mutant to this movie. And you see puffs of black and purplish smoke popping in and out of things and like a ghost like figure. Well, of course, we all know that follow the series or have watched more than just the movies, especially by this point. It's Nightcrawler. While that's going on, Nightcrawler is popping in and out and then attacks the President after dismantling his entire guard, the Secret Service, and gets over the President with a knife in his hand, gets shot, drops a knife and it lands next to the President's head almost. And on it, before the scene cut, is a tagline that says Mutant Freedom Now.And then it cuts to Wolverine at Alkali Lake, which is frozen over. He gets to the entrance of what looks like the dam portion of it and there's a wolf that greets him. They kind of stares at him, they stare at each other, all that good stuff. And then he walks in and then seeing cuts again. But again, that portion was Logan leaving to go to Alkaline Lake in the end of the first movie. Now here we are at the beginning of the second movie and he's there, finds nothing.And then the next scene transfers over to Storm, which is talking to the students or the young mutants at a Museum, a regular Museum. And then of course, as the scene progresses, you see Jean Grey, Cyclops at the Museum with the students. And then it kind of cuts over to the food court, where we see Rogue, Iceman and Pyro kind of just hanging out like teens do. They don't care about the Museum, they don't care about the history. So they're just chilling out in the food court. Well, there's other kids or older teens I guess, probably like 18, 19, come up and start messing with or fucking around with Pyro because he's got his lighter, he's playing with the flame. And then one of them looks at Rogue, one of them jacks the lighter from Pyro and then he lights his cigarette with it. Of course, Pyro being the ass hat that he is funny. It was absolutely fun that he did it funny as hell how he did this because Pyro manipulates the flame, lights the kids jacket on fire. And then Ice Man Bobby uses his powers in front of everybody and puts out the kid. Well, at that point, before the scene cuts, Professor X freezes everything. And that's when the scene then cuts back to the President. When we cut back to the President, of course, Stryker is there. We all know who Stryker is. Those of you who don't know, Stryker is a character who has been villainized in the movies as trying to get rid of all the mutants. One of the villainized characters trying to get rid of all the mutants. He is a human. He has been around since Vietnam. And spoiler. He is the one accredited to giving Adamantium to Logan, giving him the Adamantium, claws and skeleton where he's virtually indestructible. Now, with that part of the skit going on, where Stryker, they're trying to get more things going.Of course, Senator Kelly shows up. Well, not really Senator Kelly, of course, because if you watch the first one, you'll know that Senator Kelly died, thanks to Magneto. So who else can it be? Dun dun duuunnn. It's Mystique. Mystique is here, of course, playing or mutated into or mimicking, of course, Senator Kelly. Trying to find out information about Magneto's imprisonment. And you can see that in the next segment of that scene where Mystique or Senator Kelly follows Stryker and his associates, who also is a mutant. But we'll find out that later. But Mystique follows out and trying to get access to Magneto's prison, because it is a very secure location that Stryker built that is made out of all plastic. Well, after that, the next scene, of course, cuts to Magneto being in the prison, and Stryker shows up and you find out how he's getting information, which is a serum or some type of drug that he drops on the back of the neck of the mutants or anybody as a truth serum of sorts. But instead of being a truth serum, he's actually manipulating anybody who he spurts or syringes on the back of the neck of the person or and/or mutant. He can control them. Well, that's how he controlled Nightcrawler. He got a hold of him, put that serum in his bloodstream, I guess, on the back of his neck. It was just right at the base of the neck and made him do that. Now, with that, he's asking Magneto about Cerebro, because he's trying to develop his own. Well, then, of course, it turns into Mystique doing the visualization of Stryker’s associate, which is a female, and walking into Striker's facility or one of his facilities, not the facility. And this is where it gets fun, okay.So, amongst all of this, of course, you have Jean and Storm taking the jet from the campus to Boston to collect, in a sense, Nightcrawler. And also in that process of Professor X trying to locate with Cerebro Nightcrawler, Logan is there with him. Logan gets left behind, while Storm and Jean Grey go to Boston in the jet, Professor X and Scott, or Cyclops, go to the prison to talk to Magneto. So again, Logan is left at school with the kids by himself, as the only adult mutant there. Now as the only adult mutant there, of course, he's not really teaching them anything. I think it's the weekend. It kind of has that vibe about it. But anyway, back to Mystique. So Mystique is in one of Striker's corporate facilities, and she is trying to access some files to find out where Magneto is being held at. So she impersonates his voice, uses voice command to gain access to secure files. And in that process, she pulls up a list of different mutants that are throughout the world. And the list only showed a portion of the names. And they are Guthrie, Harada, Kane, Remy LeBeau, E

[Owls]: No, we don't. Do we? Really?[Rick Roll Music][Owls]: What? I can't hear. Whatever you're doing,[Joker]: you'll just have to listen back to me. [Owls]: You're going to Rick roll me.[Joker laughing][Owls]: Never going to give you up. Never going to let you down. Never going to run around and desert you.[Joker]: Holy crap. Today has been a day. Like a day day. [Owls]: Trust me, I know. Yesterday was a day. And then today just continued being a day. [Joker]: But I got a lot done, I mean a lot done. [Owls]: How much?[Joker]: So…[Owls]: Did you put all this stuff together for the baby[Joker]: Oh no, none of that.[Owls]: The way that you just said none of that.[Joker]: None of that.[Owls]: It's just absolute disgust. [Joker]: None of that. But I over prepared for this episode. I saw your notes. Wow.[Introduction to Madhouse Podcast music][Joker]: So, for those of you watching us in Twitch, I have literally categorized every consideration of X Men movie there is. And yes, both Deadpool One and Two fall in line with that aspect. [Owls]: That's included, say you go to Disney Plus, it's included in the Lineage or however you do it, it's included there. [Joker]: So also, I have put it into categories, the best places to find every single movie in the X-Men Cinematic Universe. Disney Plus is the primary spot where you want to go for most of the X-Men movies that start out with X Men in the title.[Owls]: And the quality is going to be best.[Joker]: Yes. Outside of that, for Wolverine, HBO, and New Mutants, HBO Max.[Owls]: Did you watch them?[Joker]: I've watched the Wolverine originally. I haven't watched them all yet.[Owls]: Okay. [Joker]: But for both, Deadpool movies is primarily going to be on Hulu or Sling as far as subscription based. And then Logan is also on Hulu and Sling for the subscription side. And every single X-Men movie that we will talk about in this series is available on Amazon Prime for $4 a pop.[Owls]: So, when you mean the subscription side, you mean the additional add on to your already monthly or yearly Hulu subscription. You mean like the add on like live TV or the extra stars or whatever? [Joker]: What I'm saying is if you got a subscription to either Disney Plus, HBO Max, Hulu, Sling, you get to watch them for free. No extra charge. [Owls]: See, I feel like one of those. I did not. I had to figure out a different way to watch. I'm trying to remember which one. [Joker]: But according to everything I've looked at, Disney Plus, absolutely for sure. No questions asked. All the X-Men movies that are available, there are no additional charge. Period. [Owls]: I just went through all of them. [Joker]: And again, HBO Max, I've looked it up. The Wolverine, New Mutants are both there for no extra charge. I don't have Hulu anymore cause I just said fuck it and let it run out. Never had Sling either. [Owls]: I use Hulu all the time. [Joker]: Yeah, I don't use it anymore. If I need live updates to shit, I get on YouTube. YouTube got someone somewhere has got it showing if it's a live event. [Owls]: Got you. [Joker]: All right. But yeah. And then again, I did confirm on Amazon Prime, every single one of them is available for $4 a pop or 3.99 USD. [Owls]: Yep. Amazon has everything. Pretty much. You can just always link Amazon. Amazon has it. Whatever it is, Amazon has it.[Joker]: Yeah. So that's what I was. Oh, and also YouTube has almost all of them, except for Dark Phoenix and New Mutants are the only one that YouTube doesn't have. Google has every one of them. Apple TV has 90% of them. And if you happen to have a Vudu account,[Owls]: Voodoo?[Joker]: Vudu, V-u-D-u. That's also $3.99. So all the YouTube, Google, Apple TV and Vudu, Amazon are all going to be $3.99 for those.[Owls]: Pretty much. If you have like two to three streaming services…[Joker]: You should be able to find it. [Owls]: You should be able to find most, if not all.[Joker]: Yeah[Owls]: Because they're on the pretty big ones. I don't think Netflix has any of them, to be honest, because I think probably got bought out, especially when Disney came out with their own streaming service.[Joker]: Yeah[Owls]: A lot of them lost all these contracts. [Joker]: Yeah. But yeah. Anyway, also found some other things that will link later in the show notes for the podcast, will be a page that is the best order in which to watch, I. E. The chronological order and release order. Yes. [Owls]: There's so many orders. I know with Star Wars, there's, of course, release versus chronological. But then also I think Kira once sent me gosh, what is it called? The Chopped, some sort of other. What is it? Machete order. That's what it's called.[Joker]: But yeah. So, in the chat currently is going to be the link to the version I found as far as the article, for the chronological order, as far as date of the movie setting, not necessarily the multiverse or the time distorted versions…[Owls]: Yeah[Joker]: But we will be talking about chronological release. Excuse me, theatrical release. Not chronological[Owls]: Perfect. That makes it easy for me.[Joker]: At least for the first go around.[Owls]: Yeah.[Joker]: So, the theatrical order of release is X-Men, the original one, the first one that came out in 2000, [Owls]: Just a straight up[Joker]: The whole cinematic series is only 22 years old. [Owls]: Only 22 years old. That's a big span of time. [Joker]: Oh, absolutely it is. All right. And then it was X-Men United in 2003, and I actually found out some interesting information about that release gap. So X Men, The Last Stand in 2006, X-Men Origins, The Wolverine in 2009, X Men First Class in 2011, the standalone The Wolverine in 2013, Days of Future, Past in ‘14, Deadpool One in ‘16, shortly followed by Apocalypse in ‘16, Logan, another standalone Wolverine movie in 2017, Deadpool Two in ‘18, Dark Phoenix in ‘19, and New Mutants in 2020.[Owls]: That one I didn't even know existed.[Joker]: Neither did I until you said something. I mean, I knew it existed, but I thought it was a TV show or a TV series, not a movie. [Owls]: Yeah. I think initially, like, maybe a year ago, I thought it was a TV show, but then I completely forgot about it. And then when I was going through the whole series, I was like, what is this? When I watched it, I was like, oh, interesting. [Joker]: Yeah. So, you want to go ahead and do the intro and we'll get into these shenanigans. That is the original. [Owls]: All right. Welcome to the Madhouse presents Group Therapy, where we talk about games, argue about our different viewpoints, dive into the strange or whatever we decide in the moment? I am Owls and this is Joker. [Joker]: Hello. [Owls]: And today we are talking about X Men.[Joker]: Dun Dun duuun[Sound effect][Owls]: and then [vocal sounds][Joker]: I mean, I hope you like that song, the intro, because you're the one that picked it.[Owls]: You gave me, like, five choices. That was actually the first one I listened to, and I liked it the most. Immediately, I was like, I like this one. And then I kept listening. I was like, Nah, Nah, no.[Joker]: Fair.[Owls]: Who's the best one?[Joker]: I have in my head when it comes to this particular movie? Because of course, I watched it today just to refresh my mind on the plot and storyline and everything that it came from. [Owls]: Yep. [Joker]: But also I found out some interesting information about this. How it came to be a live action rendition. [Owls]: Oooh, do tell? [Joker]: So, most people, minus Owls because she never watched them was…[Owls]: What do you mean? [Joker]: X Men got their popularity off of the animated series for millennials and younger generations from the X Men animated series. But of course, before that, it was based on comic books, which are there are hundreds of variations. I'm obviously exaggerating hundreds, but there are multiple variations of the X Men comics series, and they based the animated series off of one of the original styles with the green and yellow suits or like team suits, I guess you could say. [Owls]: [Agreement sound][Joker]: But in that series of the animated series was a set of characters which included, of course, Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Jean Gray or Phoenix, Storm, Beast, Logan, or the Wolverine. And then, of course, the enemies, which were Mystique, Magneto, Sabretooth, Toad. And then, of course, later on in the animated series, you got Rogue, Gambit,[Owls]: Speed Demon.[Joker]: Yeah, he was the X men version of the flash. [Owls]: I know who you're talking about. It's completely out of my mind. [Joker]: I forgot his mutant name. His character name was[Owls]: Quicksilver. Is that your demo?[Joker]: Yes, it is. Quicksilver, Petro, Maximus or Maxima or whatever.[Owls]: I looked up quick guy X Men. Yeah, that's the response I got.[Joker]: By the way, that's the other connection to the actual Marvel universe is his char

Of course, I would take a fucking drink in there.[Intro to Podcast Music][Joker]: She had a lot of spews in her face.[Owls]: Yeah. Should be used to it by now. [Joker]: Oh Okay. Should be used to it by now, she says. By the way, what do you think about our new background? [Owls]: Oh, it's like a brick wall. I like it. [Joker]: Yeah. [Owls]: And it has the name on the top. I like it.[Joker]: Yeah. Eventually I'll change some other things, but until then, this is what we got. [Owls]: I like it. It's noise. Cool. [Joker]: I'm glad you likes. I mean, do we really need to do the intro? Because there's really no intro except for music for this one, I would think. Right? [Owls]: That's how you want to do it? [Joker]: I don't know. That's the thing. [Owls]: Intro. [Joker]: All right, fuck it. Good enough. Good as time as any. Take it away. Owls.[Owls]: You want to do the whole thing like I normally do? [Joker}: Yeah sure, why not? Fuck it.[Owls]: All right. Welcome to the Madhouse Presents Group Therapy, where we talk about games, argue about our different viewpoints, dive into the strange or whatever we decide in the moment. I am Owls and this is Joker[Joker]: Hello.[Owls]: And today we're going to discuss some upcoming changes.[Intro to Podcast Music][Joker]: As far as what we got going on for the future. One of the big things is we're going to be going to less weekly structured episodes. What we were kind of discussing was going into the interview realm a little bit, but instead of doing it every week, we'll do an interview roughly every other week with small streamers or not so famous streamers. And maybe, hell, if one day we get lucky, we could probably do a large streamer.[Owls]: And we could also interview them.[Joker]: Yes. And interview them. [Joker]: Well yeah so, talking to other streamers, content creators and seeing what they do, what they wish they would have done or.[Owls]: Hey, whatever we want to talk about.[Joker]: Whatever the fuck we want to talk about, get to know them so everybody listening anywhere that you're listening, whether it be audio side only or on the live recording here on Twitch.tv/theMadhousepodcast. Let us know content creators’, streamers, YouTubers, YouTube streamers, whatever.[Owls]: Or put yourself up.[Joker]: Yeah or put yourself up. You can do it one of two ways. In the Discord, if you're a part of the Madhouse Discord, you can go to reply to the stream. It is or should be available, reply to the Cast.[Owls]: I forgot I named it so cheesily.[Joker]: Reply to the Cast under the Group Therapy podcast section. Let us know who you want myself or Owls to interview and that will be done every other week. So, if we did start next week, then we would skip a week where probably two Wednesdays from now is when we'll probably start the X Men series or X Men Universe series where we sit and talk about every X Men movie. [Owls]: Should we go now?[Joker]: Here's the question. Should we go in line of movie release, or should we go timeline wise? [Owls]: I feel like...[Joker]: Because X Men Universe timeline is really fucked up. [Owls]: It's so fucked up. I'm literally talking about this today because there are so many fucking loopholes in this thing. I feel like the only way to do it is in release because then we can talk about those loopholes. [Joker]: Yeah, because I was going to say there's more timeline deviance than there is in Marvel. [Owls]: It's ridiculous. Like things don't make sense. And I'm just like, wait, then if this is happening before then, how did we get to that? Okay, we'll go through it. But there's a lot of things. Like, I was like, there's no way. What? That doesn't make any sense based on the first ones they released, which are the present tense, I guess. I don't know. [Joker]: [agreement sound][Owls]: So, I feel like release orders is probably best, but then maybe we can kind of touch on like, if they were to have done it timeline wise, what it would have looked like, but there's so many plot holes that wouldn't have made sense. [Joker]: Yeah.[Owls]: It's almost like they released them and then said, yeah, fuck the original movies. We don't have to go by what happened at the end. [Joker]: Oooh, I got an idea. Why don't we go through the release order first…?[Owls]: [agreement sound][Joker]: And then after we've done all of that, we can go back and do another[Owls]: Poke at the plot holes.[Joker]: Poke at the timeline side of it and see what could have changed from the timeline side.[Owls]: Yeah. Why it's so different. [Joker]: We're definitely going to need a note taker for this. Holy fuck. Because this is going to be ridiculous. [Owls]: Yeah, I'm here for it, though. I'm telling you, X Men is my jam. Love it[Joker]: All right, so that's one thing that's going to happen. Throughout from next week on, I'm hoping I'll be able to find someone, if not, Madhouse reach out. We'll see who. Because I have one person in mind that I would like to prod their mind and…[Owls]: and I have one for you as well.[Joker]: IAmBPala. [Owls]: Okay. Yeah.[Joker]: He's one that has actually rated me as well, and he's excited to see me, so I'm excited to hang out and[Owls]: [agreement sound][Joker]: Pick his brain because he is primarily a YouTube content creator. He got a very successful channel there. Also a not so big Twitch streamer. I don't want to discredit the man because he's got almost 5000 followers on Twitch and he averages from what since I've been part of his Twitch community from following after the raid and everything, he's definitely averaged or double digits for sure. So there's that. [Owls]: I've got a couple that I could reach out to that are partner as well, possibly.[Joker]: Okay, speaking of IAmBPala, it's his birthday today, so IAmBPala.[Owls]: Special shout out to you. If you're here, let me know and I'll sing to you. [Joker]: He is not. He's actually at dinner. It looks like birthday party. [Owls]: If he shows up for whatever reason, I will stop everything I'm doing and I will sing obnoxiously loud. [Joker]: Fuck yeah.[Owls]: I've got a couple of people that we should look into for sure.[Joker]: Awesome sauce[Owls]: And then even if we don't do it. So a good option is not necessarily interviewing other people. But if people have questions, they want to ask us about our lives in general. If we get enough questions, we could use that as an interview for each other. Like one week, I could interview you on your life and vice versa. [Joker]: Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. That does sound good. So, yeah, the interview section or part of it probably will list as a different thing on the podcast and here on Twitch. It won't be in the linear. So, episode ten, official episode ten will be the first episode that we talk about The X Men series. [Owls]: Yeah, definitely. We could do a commonly asked questions episode. By commonly asked, what does that mean, though? [Joker]: We got to get asked questions commonly. That's the other part. No one is interacting, though.[Owls]: Well, the thing, it's not necessarily the interaction, but what is commonly asked questions? Like how are you? [Joker]: How are you? Who is your Daddy and what does he do?[Owls]: What does he do? [Joker]: Okay, well, my Daddy's dead and he is probably, I don't know, probably bone by now, maybe marrow at this point. Who knows? I mean, it depends on the ground worms.[Owls]: Oh, my God, you get so dark with that. Holy shit. Mine. I just don't talk too much, and I have no idea what he does.[Joker]: Okay, so revisiting our who are we kind of episode when we do that…[Owls]: Kind of, but like, less into the gaming aspect, but more just like our lives. Just who we are. Why are we the way that we are?[Joker]: Yeah[Owls]: Or what's my favorite color? Why is it my favorite color? What's my favorite animal? Things like that. Pets.[Joker]: Yes.[Owls]: It could be just who we are. [Joker]: Yeah, like I said, that's why I created the Twitter for the channel, so that we can have that aspect. Because I do know a lot of people. There is an email, actually. So, I will make even a Google form and put that as a banner down below a link to that as far as: “hey, what are your questions for us” or in general and have that as a banner down below a link to that form and it will email directly to Madhouse@nlmp.org. Yes, there's a Twitter. It is Twitter MHPGroup therapy. It does exist. If you look in the about section below, there is a link to it, I believe. No, there's not. Holy fuck. I did not put a link to that. Son of a slut.[Owls]: Son of a slut. Wow. [Joker]: Yeah. Well, fuck me. All right, well, I'll work on that real quick since the next real major announcement needs to come from Owls anyway.[Owls]: So kind of what we discussed recently is my involvement. So I'm having a good time mostly. Most of the time.[Joker]: Most of the time.[Owls]: Most of the time when I'm not stressed out, I definitely have a lot of stress personally in my life and in a way to alleviate I may not be as present every week. So what we've kind of discussed is maybe switching me to an every other week kind of thing where I'm not there 100

Yes, that's us. Oh, wrong scene. Oh, there we go. Now we're right, I think. Are we right? No. Are we? No, we're not. We're definitely not right. All right. So what we're actuallygoing to be doing that at the end of the stream. So if you or anybody else comes in, Tori, since you are here, that'll be your job to remind newcomers that they have to follow all three channels to be entered to win, and they have to follow all three before we get to the section of the stream that we do it. So there's that. And today we're actually going to be kind of talking about in some realm what we were talking about, but not just only on Spiderman or a multiverse, but more or less the Metaverse and what it may actually look like. This is true. Welcome to the Madhouse Presents Group Therapy, where we talk about games. Are you about our different viewpoints, dive into the strange or whatever we decide in the moment? I am Alex and this is Joker. Hi. How are you doing today? We are talking about the Metaverse.So dramatic music. What is the Metaverse? We're going to actually talk about it because there's been quite a few different depictions of what a Metaverse would really look like, especially with the coming ups and advancements in VR that have been made in the last decade alone, let alone the last 20 years that VR has potentially been around. So we're going to talk about that tonight. Sure are. What is the Metaverse, Joker? Well, according to Facebook CEO, the Metaverse is going to be a platform in which everybody can interact socially, play games, do business, not only just conduct business meetings like we've probably seen in the last few years. Well, last two years, thanks to COVID, but actually conduct business, sell products. There's currently a market spike in cryptocurrencies and using different types of cryptocurrencies to buy virtual land. Virtual land? Yes. Virtual land is being transferred for millions of dollars. And this is pixels of land at that. That's interesting. Pixels of land. I mean, what would be the square foot? How would you figure out square footage? So it's really not even square footage. Yeah. I mean, just for like layman's terms for myself or somebody out there who doesn't quite understand. So if you look at it, say right now, you got us on a monitor at full screen. And if we were what's the word I'm looking for? Full resolution. So HD, which is 1080p, right? Yes. And what 1080p represents is a Pixel rating on the screen and it's 1900 by 1080. So 1900 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. So that is what 1080 represents is Pixel rating. And a Pixel is a very, very small electrical or some type of Cube of light that represents a surface area. Well, what they're doing is they are selling virtual pixels in a virtual world. And however many pixels or blocks that you buy, I think it's considered one square block, like real life block. What is it like 250ft by 250ft in real life, I think is considered a block of like a neighborhood or a business district on a street. Well, that block is then sold for a value of cryptocurrency, and it can't be sold again. It's like NFCs or. Hold on. I'm trying to remember what NFT stands for here. Hold on. N ft. It's like final sale, no returns. Yeah.Wow. Nft didn't come back with the actual definition of it. Nfts are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain. So similar to how cryptocurrency is transferred from one to another, making the understanding of transfer. And what is a blockchain that multiple people that are on the Internet have to verify that an exchange has happened and that's how they keep track of it. So NFTs, which are called non fungible token, is what NFT stands for, and they exist on a blockchain and cannot be replicated. So once it's created, there's only one of it. And if you want it, you have to buy it. It's like somebody buying a physical piece of art. Somebody can only paint it once. They can create additional prints, but they can only actually paint the physical original once. Correct. Exactly. And one individual back in. Hold on, let me see. I'm trying to remember what the web pages is. The million dollar page. He's thinking really hard right now. You can't see his face in audio land, but he had a really scrunched up face when he was searching. Okay, so if you want to follow us at home or as long as you're not driving or operating machinery at this point, there is a thing that was called and it's www. Dot million dollar homepage.com. And what it was is a College kid, I think I want to say back in either the early 2000s or late 90s, created a web page and offered up a single Pixel on this page for $1. And you bought pixels to put whatever imagery you wanted on it for $1. And there was a million pixels. Once they were done, they were done. So you could do a million penises. You could have if you really wanted to. Or you can do one giant penis worth a million dollars. And he's filled it up. And it still exists to this day because it could be across the whole thing for those watching on Twitch. So again, if you're listening on the podcast audio site only, we do stream a live recording of this every Wednesday night at 09:00 P.m. On Twitch. Tv themadhousepodcast. And right now, for everybody on Twitch, I am showing what the actual one or the million dollar home page looks like. And it's just a giant ad board, basically. Is that what people bought to do that? Yes, this is it. This is exactly what it is like nuts. It looks like I'm looking for like Where's Waldo? In a sea of just words and pictures and colors. It's like at my face and I'm looking for Waldo. So here's the thing. Every Pixel or every ad on here goes to another website. Does it really? Yes. Everything that's on here is an ad. It goes to another website. And the only way that any more that you can get on this is you buy the pixels from someone else because if you notice, everything sold out. So this kid like a stock exchange kind of situation. Exactly. This kid who was 21 years old when he came up with this idea is virtually now a millionaire because he received a dollar for every Pixel that was sold on this page. And then people just kept kept buying. Yeah. So like right here, you can see for those of you that can see there's a thing right here that says web hosting. I scroll my mouse over that and it says the best website hosting ever. Only one point, $99. And it's easycgi. Boom. That's them. Then you've got let's see, I saw it up here somewhere. Japan's most beautiful girls and guys.Ferrari. Ferrari's here. Or someone said they got a Ferrari symbol and their little hyperlink shows. If you love cars, you will love this. Let's see what else? Date night or date tonight? A free dating service and dating site reviews. Still searching. Click here. Free and boobies. Thomas the train even made it on here. Yeah, boobies. But Thomas the train even made it on here. Guys, order your free Thomas and friends catalog today. He is in there. I found him. Waldo? Yes. Where? Right next to coupons. Which coupons? Okay, middle on the right. Coupons tab marks coupons to the left. Ok. He is right there. Look at that. You found Waldo. I did it. I'm good at this. I solved the Riddle. Look at that. If you want to check it out again, it is www. Dot million dollarhomepage.com. You can go and check it out. See what all's in there. I mean, literally even ThunderCats made it in here. Ghostbusters Xbox. There is a lot of shit on this page. Alaskan Mint like gold and silver and jewelry. All these people had to buy more than one, though. Correct. Because there's no way they could make it this big by only buying one Pixel of this. Okay. So to give you reference what they represent as one Pixel on here. Okay. If you go over to the yellow pages symbol on the left side, lower left Quadrant. Okay. You see the yellow pages, little fingers. All right. Go two rows down below that. And then you see a little e like a backwards green e and an a above each other or one above the other. That a is one Pixel on this page. Okay. Got you. That's how big. And that's one dollars for that one. Pixel. That tiny little Pixel. Yes. What a sad little Pixel. And the biggest one, I think the biggest add on here is the green, blue, yellow squares inside the red box. Rentpixelads.com. That is the biggest onethat I can see. Yes, I believe so. Unless you count the free 18 plus free freelance jobs, auditions and map ads. Pixel ads free. I think that's probably the biggest one in there. So, yeah, that's basically what NFTs are and how they're transferred is you buy a spot in this virtual world and you now own that property of virtual land. So that's the stepping stones in which the Metaverse was built on. Very interesting. And then of course with that,Dipshit from Facebook is trying to create business space. Kind of like Facebook. Oh yeah, it's Meta. Now, again, Dipshit is trying to create the first real life Metaverse, which isn't really going to play out well right now because there's a lot of issues that he's dealing with thanks to his implementations as far as rights, copyrights, visual rights, everything like that. But with the advancements of VR is where he's trying to put his placehold in there. Because of now Oculus, which is owned by Meta and has not only the comput

So Bobby, again, this was absolutely spur of the moment and I greatly appreciate you working with me and setting this up. Downloading discord for the first this time so we could do this. I did it and even got it functioning. That's even better that I was able to download it, get it to work. We actually got to have a conversation before this all started. I got AirPods in and they're working. Right. Fancy, right. This could get out of control from a technology standpoint here really quick. I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle this, not having a technology overload. I hear you. Yeah. And actually, right before I text you and right before you text me and said you had it downloaded and I told you I was going to have an email to you with questions, I literally just sat there for five minutes like, fuck, what are we going to talk about? So I was like, scribble, scribble, scribble. I am sure that regardless of any questions that you previously sent me, we would have something or could come up with something to talk about. Oh, absolutely. Me and Alex have had our fair share of what the fuck moments, so I've had to come up with shit off the spur of my hip at times. Like if you go back and listen to our pilot episode, that was a shit storm and a half. Oh my God, it was amazing. I totally get where you're coming from. In the podcast that I've done in the past to say we scheduled guests would be they would do a disservice to the term of scheduling. But yeah, it was pretty much, hey, we're going to put a microphone in front of you and let's go. We've had the kids on ours. We've had anything from Green Berets and Marines all the way to and you can imagine how that goes when you get a couple of army and Marine guys together at the same time. God damn. Were those five hour podcasts? Pretty much. Pretty much. There was a lot of post editing that went into that just to try and get it so we could post it. And welcome to the Madhouse Presents Group Therapy, where we talk about games, argue about our different viewpoints, dive into the strange or whatever we decide in the moment. Sadly, Owls is not here. She needs the rest. But I am Joker, your other host, the other half of MHP. And today we are joined by our podcast sponsor, Bobby Alman, who is owner of Warrior Acts Coffee.Thank you for having me. It's greatly appreciated to be here. I prefer the term of I'm the hmfic Corrier Coffee because I have the HBIC, who is also the other side of that. So we run this as a tandem team group and this question was asked to me, I think it was a week ago I gave a presentation about Warrior ask coffee. And there were some people who didn't quite understand the term of hmfic. Yes, please elaborate. Or the HBIC. I had to explain both of those terms. So I'll do the PG version first. Okay. The hmfic is the head military figure in charge. That would be the politically correct way of putting that for the rest of the world. That's the head motherfucker in charge. And then the HBI. See, I was going to say and see, we aren't very PG here. We do cuss the only thing, of course, military keep it within EO and sharp and we're good. You got it. Continue. Oh, yeah. I was giving this presentation to a business networking group, so obviously I had to you had to censor yourself.Okay. The sentence enhancers and those kinds of things can't come flow quite as freely as you would like them to at times. Oh, yeah. And then the HBIC. See, for the PG people is the head bitch in charge.Right. For the rest of us, that's the head bitch in charge. And if you want to know how the ranking structure and that goes, the HMFIC definitely is number two on that totem pole. That's a little bit about the background on my title as far as things are concerned. Yeah. Definitely a smart man here that plans to keep his balls intact, ladies and gentlemen. Trying I get in enough trouble on my own. I don't need anybody else's help. Just for all of those out there in cyber world. I hear you. Well, Bobby, thank you again. For those in audio world that will be hearing a slightly edited version of this, I guess you could call it an interview. Yeah. This sit down with our podcast sponsor again, Bobby Almond. We talked previously and it was interesting. I mean, we got you at the spur of the moment. Again, Al needed a break and she's joining us in chat. But as far as the podcast and then life gets in the way occasionally and I told her, you know what? Take a break. It's fine. I'll figure something out. If anything, we'll just put it off a week. Who knows? Speaking of putting off a week, we were initially going to do a giveaway for one of the extra pounds of coffee because I am an idiot and did not correlate 16oz to a pound. That'll be fun. You need to listen to that part of last episode. But we do have the extra pound of coffee here that we will be giving away to one lucky viewer who is following all three Twitch channels. My personal channel, NLMP Owls channel Owls are Hoot 92 and obviously the podcast channel, the Madhouse Podcast. So that will actually be happening next week where we will basically gather all the information and make sure you're following all three channels to be put in the running for the giveaway next week during the live recording of episode eight. As long as everything runs smoothly, but yes. So we got Bobby and I messaged him. I think it was like 06:00 P.m. Last night, or at least I thought it was 06:00 P.m.. Who knows? It may have been a lot later than that, but then we got you. Time is relative. Yeah. What is time anyway? Right, right. So you messaged me back today and we threw some stuff back and forth. What I want to start with is who are you? And basically, what did you do before Warrior Axe Coffee? Who I am is kind of a complicated question. If we want to get into the theory and all of that stuff that will take up way more time and probably bore your listeners to death. But who I am is I am a regular, everyday guy who spent nearly two decades as a law enforcement officer here in South Carolina. And about four years ago, my father is a disabled vet from Vietnam. We were sitting around in his garage one night, like all brilliant ideas seem to happen with some adult beverages, I'm sure. Yeah, it was a bottle of whiskey. Hell, yeah. And we got to talking about coffee and what makes a good coffee and where do you get good coffee? And some of the other big name companies that are out there and how they got started and some of them, how they managed to charge as much as they do for shitty coffee. Well, halfway through that bottle, next thing, I'm on the phone with a plantation owner in Central America and Guatemala, as a matter of fact, trying to figure out how the hell you get raw coffee beans and what you got to do to turn them from a very raw product into the finished product that we know is coffee in the United States. Well, actually, coffee throughout the world. You can imagine how that conversation goes with a guy who's a half bottle into whiskey and doesn't know very much Spanish. I mean, I can order a beer and I can ask where the bathroom is, and I can tell Juan where the library is at. That's about it.While I'm doing this, my dad is researching Roasters. Well, how do you roast coffee? And neither of us at the time had any idea how deep that rabbit hole went. And if there's any coffee aficionados that are watching or listening, they can probably give you some insight into this, the rest of you some insight into this. But that rabbit hole goes very deep. If you thought there were a lot of flavors of beer, you haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to coffee. And I was very novice in this. I mean, as a guy who drank coffee, look, I work night shift, right? We drank a lot of coffee and we drank a lot of shitty gas station coffee. But I didn't know it was shitty coffee at the time. I didn't, right. Until I had good coffee. The flavor profiles on what you can get from coffee. Just absolutely astounded me and blew me away. We ended up getting half a dozen sample pounds of raw coffee beans. So we could start to try and figure out how to roast these things and these different flavor profiles and what works for a good bean. Even just trying to figure out what kind of roast somebody wants. You know, we're used to walking in the grocery store and you grab your Folgers off the shelf and that's that okay. But there's a whole lot more to that. There's a whole lot more to the grind. This ended up being a learning experience that both of us had no idea what we were getting into. But three quarters of the way into that bottle, we had coffee Roasters on the way and raw coffee beans on the way. And I guess the rest is kind of history. I incorporated in limited liability Incorporated somewhere around September or October of 2018 is when I formed the business. And when I formed the business, it was actually kind of twofold, which is one of those things we were going to get into a little bit later that we talked about. But my background is primarily in fitness and training, so I was very novice when it comes to coffee side of things. So I formed this business called off at LLC, with the idea that I was going to continue along the lines

Well, I guess we'll just get into it today and I guess I need to un-deafen so everybody can hear Owls. I forgot to undefined when I went live. So you couldn't hear a thing that I said? No. I could have said all sorts of things. Yep.Hello, people. Hello everyone. Welcome to the Madhouse Presents Group Therapy where we talk about games, argue about our different viewpoints, dive into the strange or whatever we decide in the moment. I am Alex and I'm Joker. Hello. And today we are talking about mental health and gaming, how the benefits and hardships of gaming can have on your mental health as well, whether it benefits or hinders your mental health overall.Now, as far as mental health and the common understanding of it, a lot of people think about sadness, about ADHD, about social anxiety. But what a lot of people I feel don't think about is the bigger issues as well, outside of what is mental health and what are some complications to that? Well, learning disabilities, for one. Between that depression,social anxiety is one of the bigger ones that I've noticed that a lot of people don't consider a mental health issue or complication. But social acuity is one of the biggest ones that affects more than 90%, I believe was one of the early two thousands. And especially now with the current social economic society we're living in that is so restrictive of that time to gather and be a part of a group again is just not there. I mean, covet alone caused a lot of issues, especially with all of the lockdowns and social distancing. As humans, easily as human beings, we are social animals. We have to have that interaction with one another. And for a while there actually like in the beginning, mostly it wasn't there and people didn't know how to cope and they turned to gaming streaming to get that fixed, I guess you could call it. But also like tonight, we're going to be talking about the effects both positively and negatively because it goes both ways, whether you want to believe it or not, even though in the yesterday years when I was younger and growing up, they said video games will rot your brain. Well, I mean, yeah, they can, but a lot of people don't realize that there's more to that. And they actually can help a lot too. Yes. But the notes that I kind of made tonight focus more in on the social anxiety, ADHD, the COVID situation, PTSD and depression, if you notice. Again, down here for everybody with us on Twitch, we have a wonderful banner of a society that is suicide prevention lifeline. And there are, of course, plenty of hotlines. But this group here, obviously, as you can see, cover both English, Spanish, and many other languages that a lot of people don't associate with the United States. So that is available. And please, if you know anybody within your communities within your social groups or just friends or family that are having issues, please share that information with them. We'll make sure that we also link it in the show notes. For those listening in the audio world, please understand that you are not alone. There are people that actually care about you. So I wanted to start with that. Yes. And they definitely have all the languages as well as they have the what is it called? Sorry, it is the TTY users. They have the deaf or hard of hearing as well. Oh, yes. Also, for all you young Ins out there that don't like to talk on the phone, they have availability for texting as well. You can text. I will make sure. For those in the audio world, I will link that as well in the show notes. And all you got to do is say hello. And that's it. So tonight we'll get started with the COVID situation, since that's something that's kind of affected everybody in the very recent past, I should say. So we were talking slightly about the loneliness that kind of developed from Covet. It was a very big unknown in the world and it was affecting the world. There was no travel allowed. There was no social gatherings for months. And I like to talk about the positive that came out of it. And I've said this, of course, in my own streams, but it helped a lot of small time streamers like myself, for one. Definitely. It caused a big influx of people going to internet and gaming and streaming as a way to kind of reach out and get their socialization. More people were online watching streamers. Oh, absolutely. Just to fill that void because they've run out of all their favorite TV shows and the entertainment value was there for those that probably never would have touched Twitch. I'll say I'm one of them, honestly. I dabbled in a couple of different streams. I looked at them, never was really consistent. And then as the pandemic was a thing, I was home a lot more. I saw more people streaming. I started looking at streaming and that's how I kind of got into it. I had nothing else to do. I mean, I was home with a baby, but also there was no going out at all. Yeah. So loneliness set into a lot of Americans or people in general, because like I said, humans are social animals, just like apes, just like Lions, canines. We're very sociable. And without that, our mental state is affected. It's like being in a quiet room where all you hear is your own heartbeat and blood flow. It's insane. And people go crazy on that. So when they were stuck in the houses with nothing but a phone or a computer or a tablet and they ran out of the internet, because the internet isn't as endless as people think it is. So they turn to the streaming platforms or the content platforms of YouTube, Tik, Tok Facebook and Twitch, which was TikTok blew up. So did Twitch. Yeah, the influx of not just consumers, but streamers spiked during the first few months or actually the first year of COVID back in 2020. And same thing happened to YouTube. Their influx of content creators of consumers just skyrocketed. Even Mixer tried to play off of that for a little while. Mixer with Mixer. Oh, you don't remember Mixer? I feel like I should. Yeah. Sounds semi familiar. So Ninja, you know who Ninja is, right? Never really watched him, but I know who he is. So he actually got a contract to leave Twitch and go to Mixer as their sponsored streamer. Oh, no. Yeah. Is that why he kind of, like, disappeared for a little bit? And he's like, oh, no, I made a boo boo. Yeah, he made a big Booboo. Well, he didn't make a boo boo. He got paid. Like, paid. You got a good payout. He just ended up not getting as much of you that don't know who Ninja is. Ninja was a big Fortnite streamer. He wasn't, like, the best at the game. He was good. He was top tier as far as players, but he was more of a personality. Very entertaining. He dyed his hair blue. All the colors. Yeah, all the colors. I can't relate to that at all. No, not at all. Those you can't see me, I have green bangs. Well, they're kind of bluish green right now. It's just the way that the light is hitting them, probably. Yeah, I got like, a bluish white light. Yeah. So he blew up on the game, Fortnite on Twitch and was one of Twitch's first big partners, and then he canceled his deal with Twitch to go over to Mixer. Well, surprisingly enough, after a while, Mixer didn't get what they were wanting during the pandemic, so they went bankrupt. Facebook bottom out, and that's where Facebook gaming became a thing. Okay, so that's what happened. I was not aware of that situation. Yeah. So just as Mixer was going, it had a very short stint in the gaming world as far as a platform, but that's when Facebook gaming became a thing and started up was during the pandemic as well. I've been seeing a lot more people on Facebook gaming. It's interesting. Yeah, it definitely is. So back to the covet again, outside of causing the loneliness that people had from the solitude of confinement, basically. So they needed to reach out for that social interaction. And that's where Twitch and YouTube came in. And YouTube streaming became a thing again, outside of just your base content creation to fill that void of social contact. And to me, that's where these gaming or these platforms help, because you don't have to be in the same room with someone necessarily to interact, to have conversations. There's very few people in this community, in the Madhouse community that I've actually met in person, and yet we're still a family. And I love this for that. And it was because of gaming that this community has grown and we have people all over the world that we talk to. Crazy. Definitely. I would have never, ever in a million years met if it wasn't for gaming and streaming. Yeah. Like you and me, even though I was less than 4 hours away from you. Just about when I went to Florida. When you passed about my house and said, Fuck you, Owls, I continued on. To be fair, I knew in Florida you were there, but I didn't know where in Florida you were. Well, that's when you go. I want to meet my favorite person in person. Maybe I should reach out. Barely knew you then I knew you barely know me now? Yeah. You stayed in my house. Yeah, that's true. I mean, your skin particles are somewhere in my couch. Yeah, I probably have a piece of hair. You could probably frame me from murder. Don't get any ideas, baby Mama, I see those TikToks you send me. Trust me. They're probably nothing compared to what she watches. Yeah, I know. She's like, let me mellow one. Sending that one. Yeah. All right. Oh, go ahead. I don't remember what I was going to say. Okay, it's gone. So the direction I kind of want to take with this particular podcast is we want to start out with the

I don't need a modem bait. Well, I mean, we probably could. That would help. Probably. Yeah. Because we are using the standard spectrum, home modems and routers. I mean, this all kind of ties into what we're talking about tonight. Yeah, it really does. So here we go. Go ahead and do your intro and then I'll push the record, I. E. Yeah, you do phenomenally on this. Why not? Oh, thank you. That's so sweet of you. Thank you, Schnuckums. I appreciate it. No problem, Boober. All right. Welcome to the Madhouse Presents Group Therapy where we talk about games. Are you about our different viewpoints? Dive into the strange and whatever you decide in the moment. I am Alex and this is Joker. Hi, I'm Joker or NLMP. If you find me on Twitch and today we're going to talk about being a parent and a gamer all at the same time, not a parental gamer. Because those are very assholeish. From what I've seen. That's different. We're going to be talking about being a gamer and a parent today. Yay.If you are joining us on our podcasts that are available on iTunes, Spotify, Radio Public, GooglePodcasts and the Stitcher now. Also we have added I was able to add recently Stitcher and iTunes to the list of wonderful podcasts available. So if you are listening to us on one of those, if it is available in that particular platform, please leave us some comments. If you enjoy the episode, a positive review and a star rating higher than one would absolutely be appreciated. If you don't like it, I mean, hey, tell us what you didn't like about it because we can't get any better if we don't know what's going on. That's true. And also, I don't know, I wasn't quite paying attention completely because you do your spill so well and it goes so smoothly. If you do want to watch or be a part of the live recordings, you can join us on Twitch at the Madhouse podcast. Correct? Mundo. I didn't do that. But you got it. Yeah, I got it. Alright.Well, don't worry, I'll let it this out. I'll find a nice little break in between topics here or I just might let it roll with it in the podcast. Who knows? Who knows, we're just going to go crazy. Yes. Also, before we get into the actual discussion, I want to put it out there for anybody listening one way or the other. Let me rephrase this. I am looking for someone willing to help us out in the podcast and it will be a paid position. It won't be like 50 $60 an hour, but it will be worth your time in the long run. We are looking for a transcriber to help in the posting process and making it more visibly pleasing to the listeners out there. Looking at the transcriptions of the podcast so that it separates myself and Owls in the text version of the podcast, just so that if anybody wants to kind of skim through. Yeah, follow along or skim through. Also, instead of listening to everything and just get to particular topics, that's what we want. Or I want really as a transcriber. So if you are interested, please hit us up on Twitter or also you can email@nlmp.org. There we go. Okay, I was going to say it. Oh, go ahead, Madhouse@nlmp.org. And we will try you out within the process. And if there's more than one, or if you do well, you will get paid for your efforts at the end of the trial. And as you continue to do great work, your pay will rise. So keep that in mind. Being a parent gamer. Yes, that's what we're talking about. So the reason why we're turning this into its own podcast is because we kind of left it out of the original Who Are We stream, which was official episode one, and it seemed like it was enough to be its own podcast to us. Plus, we can talk about some other junk in there too. But I kind of wanted to make this because we didn't really have a solid topic to go with for this week. And I was like, you know what? We didn't talk about that. So let's do that. Now, if you are listening or watching on Twitch, you will get a nice little teaser to next week episode that Alice has gracefully come up with, hopefully. And that will be at the end of the Twitch stream and will not be available on the auditory side. Yes, the auditory side. There we go. The professional name for the auditory. No, auditory. If you're only listening to us after it's been posted to one of the platforms, guess what? You want to come to the Twitch because we give you hints if we have them on the next week's episode. Sometimes we're just flying by the seat of our pants. Is that the phrase? Yes. We're just kind of like, oh, we didn't think about that. Oops. I was glad that I thought of something. I was like, that's a good one. So talking about gamers and parents or even adults in general like me, I didn't think about it because, one, I've got so much going on as a military instructor, I don't necessarily have time to think about much. It's like, okay, am I tired enough to just chill or do I want to stream tonight? Yeah, that's definitely a constant battle. What am I doing tonight? What am I mentally able to do versus what I can do with time constraints and everything like that? Managing like, just simply adding that record button. I've wanted to do it for two weeks now, and this is finally a thing. Yeah. So, Alice, since you were newer into streaming/gaming, how has the journey been for you, particularly being a mother and a streamer? Plus, of course, with your husband also playing games, but not necessarily streaming as often as we do. But what are some challenges that you have in your recent time? Streaming have come across a lot of it is when I can actually stream, when there's not going to be a lot of distractions. So I definitely have to think about, will the kids be here? Am I available first? Are the kids going to be here? And am I available to stream past that? It's kind of how long can I actually do it without, like, getting rid of all the other things? So I'm constantly struggling between the schedules of, you know, I work a full time job. I work at a credit Union in the back office situation where I file reports. So all day I work from home, but I can't game at home because, of course, I'm working. So I have to figure out all day working. And then there's a couple of hours that I either have to have the kids or I have some sort of event or something with the kids and then getting them to bed. So the biggest struggle has been making sure that I have a set schedule that the kids are not going to be a part of because my kids are loud. I definitely game during the day sometimes. And there's lots of screeching, hollering interruptions. So that's the biggest is making sure that I'm doing it in a situation where I'm not going to be distracted or have a lot of background noise. Yeah. And most of you that have watched my personal channels, of course, baby Mama and the toddler baby Joker are probably the stars of my stream more than I am. They tend to play well. I say play, but come in and out, and that can be a distractors. And last week, of course, the eleven year old still hasn't grasped the concept of this night versus normal stream nights where he comes in right before bed, which is 19 minutes ago now from the time of live recording and comes give me a hug and is off to bed. And then tonight, for me, was a fun time because, of course, baby Mama's been having a little not complications, but definitely difficulties throughout this pregnancy because the baby is very active and then coveted adding to the stressors on her body. So she was in the bathtub, the toddler was still awake. And that's right. As we were starting the stream. Oh, no. Yeah. So that's what took a little bit longer to get going this evening. But, yeah, putting him to bed. Putting the eleven year old saying, hey, get off YouTube and off your Xbox and go to bed. It's a school week. Get off the Internet. I need it. Get off the Internet. I need to make a phone call. Yeah, right. I remember that stuff. Oh, man. Definitely. And even tonight is a very different thing as well because it is so much geared towards the auditory side that I have to make sure that there's even more, that there's no distractions. And while my kids are asleep, I also have a cat that is incredibly loud. Yes. And we have heard him before. Oh, yeah. He's probably more distracting than all of the kids combined because he jumps up and meows, I don't even know what I could describe it. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. I actually have the cat in my mom's room. I told her she needs to keep the cat on Wednesday nights. Yeah. I'm lucky our cat is auditory, but he doesn't like me as much when I come into this room, so it's a different room. So I get lucky with that. The only time he really comes in here is when the baby or baby Mama come in. I got you. Yeah, definitely. That's another parent thing. Is an animal parent. Oh, yeah. Having to deal with those. Those absolutely count as well. 100%. So, yeah, it's like me. I didn't really start streaming until early or late 2019. I got back into streaming because I started streaming to YouTube. 2016, I think when I moved back to central South Carolina and it was really generic, I was on my own, streaming from a console straight to YouTube, because for whatever reason, Twitch didn't want to work on my console. So I was like, all right, I'll stream to YouTube. It works. It's easy. And I did that for a little while. And of course, I had nothing but a dog and no camera. Nothing. It was just gameplay. And from there, I took a very long break up until the end of 2019 when I started streaming on Twitch again,

I'm Owls and I'm going to let myself introduce the Joker NLMP over here. Thank you. Tonight, we're going to talk about the cursed objects in Phasmophobia. This is a continuation from last week where we talked about the different evidence and how it is compared to real life. But this week we're going to talk a little bit more specific to the game with the new cursed objects that have been implemented into the game. Now, as far as the cursed items, when did that update come out about? It was December 10, is what I believe that I saw. December 10, 2021. Let me pull that up again. I'm thinking that that is the correct. Yeah. The information was posted on December 10, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. So, I'm going to say either it happened on that date or happened very close to that. So, it was just like two and a half months ago, maybe tops. Got it. It's already been two and a half months since last year on the Gamer.com where the article that you sent that you referenced and we will put in the show notes, it says since September of 2020, Connectic Games has bought consistent updates to Phasmophobia recently. I know what's in here. I just saw it. No, it doesn't give the date on there. Ever since it's released in September 2020, Connectic Games has brought out consistent updates to Phasmophobia that have since introduced a wide range of new aspects to the game. It looks like maybe initially they just kind of kept the base game as it was, but then started making a lot of updates, probably because they lost a lot of people playing the game and they wanted to kind of continue on and keep getting people to go into it. That's what I'm thinking. There's been a lot of updates. Yeah. What I foresee is that a lot of the bigger streamers stopped playing it as much on the different streams, whether it be YouTube or Twitch. And that's when they decided, well, I guess it's getting stale. Yeah. I mean, you can only play it so many times before you're like, all right, well, this is getting kind of boring. So, a lot of the updates have actually made it so that it is more enjoyable to play. And it does get a little scarier again for me. I do find it doesn't matter what level you are anymore because of all the changes that they've made to the game. It's so different. It's so drastically different from when I first started playing it to now every single time, different modes, everything and even some of these objects I haven't even come across. I'm going to go ahead and say the music box is one that you're talking about. Yes. I have not come across that one. So, I guess we'll go right into that one. Well, see, here's the thing, because out of the list that I've seen, the only one that was in the prior bill of the game was the voodoo doll. That was the very first one to come out. It wasn't the way that it is. It was in the game, but it didn't make sense, but it was usable. As far as the pins being prodded into the doll itself, I don't remember them being there. I remember there being a voodoo doll, but no actual interactions with it. Like you can mess with it and throw it around and it wouldn't upset the doll or upset the ghost, but it wasn't a cursed object in the sense that it is now. Like it was present. But it's definitely been updated. Yeah. And then, of course, you have the Ouija board as well. Yeah, the Ouija board was already there. It's just been updated a lot more as far as features and what you can do with it. Yeah, that's where the other website link in the show notes as far as what we're referencing tonight. Yeah, well, definitely with a music box, I've never come across it. Have you come across the music box? Yeah. So, this one's a relatively new thing. I've learned a lot by looking this up because now I'm going to look for these particular, I probably would not have looked for the music box because the music box, it's just like a little wooden box and apparently it shows paranormal entities singing along to this haunting melody and then it says don't get too close. It's supposed to let you hear the ghost, meaning that you can identify the ghost room easier. Or the music box. It has a one in six chance per contract of being chosen as the cursed possession that will spawn with one specific spawn location per map, a specific one. So, each map has a spot that it will be, and that's where it'll be regarded if it spawns if it's the item. Because in each map or each, I guess, game session there's only going to be one cursed item. Correct. So, you won't have a music box and a Ouija board at the same time unless they again update it later on that you could have more than one. I had no idea. I'm going to definitely look at this, but yeah, I was not aware that it had a very specific spot. Yeah, I haven't been able to see where it is in the Wiki text, but it definitely helps to know it's a one in six chance. So, if you can find out specific location, then you can go straight there to look for it instead of trying to find what just running around the map kind of thing. And is this for all objects or just the music box in general? All right, well, let's see. Next option. And it has also a one in six chance. That's a one in six chance of it spawning per cost because there's six different cursed items. So that's not necessarily, in other words, where it's going to be. It could be completely random. Okay, but you've confirmed within that article that the music box has specific locations in each map. Yeah. And some other resources I was looking at were saying that that's one of the only cursed items that has a very specific spot that it can't spawn. Got you. I mean, that makes sense because it's an item that would be specific to areas. You're not going to find a music box, maybe in the garage, like not in the bathroom. That's not going to be there. It might be in, like, a bedroom or a kid's room playroom living room, like that kind of places. That would be, in a way, logically where it could be. So maybe they're using logical as a place for it to be, but who knows? Again, I've never experienced this one. I don't know exactly the exact mechanics. I was reading it. So, it says you can identify the ghost room easier. So how would that help you? Have you read how that works? As far as playing it. The ghost can be heard singing along early. So is it that when you have the music box open, you're using it, the ghost will sing? So, then you start following it until the ghost gets louder? Is that what I'm saying? That's what it seems like. Yes, that's exactly what it is. So, you're holding the box and you turn it on or however you do the interaction with it, go start singing along with the box. It sounds kind of far. You start to move. It's like the hot and cold kind of aspect. Like as a kid, you're like you're getting warmer, colder, warmer, colder. But instead of that, it's like you're getting louder as you're getting closer. Now what it says here is if the music box is 5 meters or less from the ghost or I'm guessing the spawn location. Yes, it will manifest and start walking towards the box. If the ghost walks for more than 5 seconds, the player will reach zero sanity. Wow. Yeah, I didn't see that. I don't know the specifics, but it does say also, if it gets too close, it will trigger a cursed Hunt and the music lid will Slam abruptly shut and you have to run to find a hiding place. Stop playing. Hunt starts as a result of other reasons. So even if it starts to Hunt for some other reason, it'll shut immediately. That's a trigger to let you know that the ghost is hunting well. And also, it's the cursed Hunt. So that is a newer aspect that's going to be kind of along the lines of all the different cursed items, possessions. It's the curse Hunt. So, I looked this up. It says you only have a 1 second Grace period. So, like other hunts, you have a little bit longer before it starts to actually come for you. You got 1 second before it starts to come for you, and you have to get away with the beer the other night. It cannot be stopped by a crucifix. So, crucifix is not going to help you in any way. As well as following a cursed Hunt, every normal Hunt that is triggered afterward Will last longer than it normally would have. So, I think the initial cursed Hunt is longer, as well as it lengthens the other hunts after it. So, it's a little bit of a slippery scale. All right. All right. So then kind of moving along. We talked a little bit about this already with the voodoo doll. Like I said, I personally never saw it where it was usable before. I saw the voodoo dolls in general as kind of like a prop and then, like, moving around like, the Teddy bears upset it sometimes, that kind of thing. But I've never seen it with the pins. So that was a lot newer for me o
