What is real? How do we determine what in our life is real vs not? We can never know using our senses, which is why we must build a simulation to determine the answer! We've gathered a panel of the brightest minds we could find, the best technical executives, and a gaggle of hedge fund managers to pay for it all. We'll leave the boys in the lab to cook up what will of course be a world changing invention. But hedge fund managers can only bring us so far so if you want to get in on the ground floor of this exciting opportunity. So open your wallets and find out if you're real or not!
Giovanni goes for a drive. Ayla breaks ground. David puts things under glass. Greg does a callback.

Oh, hello. Welcome to the gates, thanks for checking in. Looks like.....you've been listening to podcasts, specifically general media podcasts marketing themselves as video game podcasts. Well, you had a good run. Too bad you didn't get to listen to their latest, the last in a long run with Andrew Zucosky. It's ok though, they'll probably have it where you're going. Hmmm? Oh I have no idea where you're headed, I'm just the greeter.
In this episode, David hops on pots, Giovanni talks about [redacted], Greg tells the story of death, Andrew asks "what does it matter?"

It's our 200th episode! We take some time to look back and look forward and think about things, like the various celebrities with ice cream flavors named after them and if anyone knows who those are anymore. For the record, we know. We know everything. We've always known. YOU CANNOT HIDE THE TRUTH FROM US AS WE'VE ALWA- ahem, sorry about that. Nothing to see...
In this episode, Giovanni looks at the waves, David races time itself, Greg uses his bodies to create a platform.

"Comedy series about a tight-knit group of friends living in Manhattan. It also covers their interactions with their families, their lovers, and various colleagues over a period of several years." That's what IMDB says the synopsis is for the hit TV show Friends. Never has a synopsis given me pause and made me ask if I'm in a simulation. Thankfully, none of us live in Manhattan anymore so we definitely don't live in that particular simulation, but what about New Girl...
In this episode, Giovanni is in scheduling hell, David keeps trying, Greg tries to stay positive (results inconclusive).

In 2024, a video game podcast was recorded about history. This single piece of recorded audio, while seemingly benign, would have untold ramifications across the media landscape for the next century. In this text, we will be exploring those ramifications and comparing what media looked like before and after Left Trigger Right Trigger's History episode (LTRTH). Before we dig in, let's look at the episode itself. Here are the pertinent details:
David looks back. Giovanni sees the present. Greg can't see back far enough.

Greg here, hat in hand. I'd like to apologize for misusing the word toyetic. I used it as if it meant "toy-like" or "possessing the properties one might expect in a toy" but it actually means "potentially marketable as a toy." I made a mistake! Sometimes mistakes are made during the heat of the crucible of a podcast recording. I will strive to do better. Anyways!
In this episode, Giovanni delves the electronic ocean, David puts things on his reader device, Greg wants to make little doodads....OF HELL.

It's August so once more we delve into the plethora of topics that contain our beloved double-o. Why do we do it? Because it's so Cool, just like this episode! How do we know it's cool? Because we're overly calm about it, almost to the point of indifference! How cool is that? TURBO COOL

Hail adventurer! Watch thine step as you venture closer to the mount as a dragon roosts within it. If the smell of gold dares waft to the lair within, the dragon will rise and search out the scent. Better to offload your coin now than risk it, wouldn't you say?

Holes. We've all got them, some more than others. As we dive down the rabbit hole of Hole, remember to take care of and look out for your holes along this journey. Are you oiling them regularly? Can they open and shut with ease? Do they still deploy torpedoes at a regular rate when people inside you prepare them? Are your holes rated to handle the pressure of the deep ocean so the people inside of you stay safe?
In this episode: Giovanni gets stuck, Tom throws dice, David is literal, Greg pulls out the imaginary dictionary

Ok folks, it appears we've made a si able mistake. Somehow in making jokes about an invisible , we've seemingly made all s we try to type invisible. We were just goofing, you know, just getting ja y with our words. I don't know what deity has caused this. None of us are particularly ealous in our religious beliefs, yet this certainly implies some kind of digital force that has messed with what we can or cannot do. If it wouldn't cause a ba illion emails to get sent to us, I'd blame "Arthur Smarts" for this.
In this episode: David hits the wall, Giovanni has heard enough, Tess keeps trying, Greg has gotta go fast.

Often times being in a first-person means seeing things through the eyes of the character you control, but boy howdy do we get into the brains of our hosts in this episode. Do they always make sense? No, they've categorically proven that to not be the case. But hopefully this episode will help shed some light on their perspective as they talk about first-person.
In this episode: Tess experiences a big shift. David doesn't feel so great. Giovanni makes a startling discovery. Greg gets asked some hard questions.

Thanks to everyone who came and supported us during the 24-hour stream benefitting NAMI Seattle!
Bosses. Babies. A perfect match. In this episode we talk about video games, Boss Baby, and also the Boss Baby interactive game. With DreamWorks Animation's cultural touchstone taking the world by storm, it makes sense this would take up so much real estate during the Boss episode. And if you got a problem with that then I've got a pink slip for you.
In this episode: Tess runs the world. David fights the big ones. Giovanni leads the way. Greg gets overrun by the rush.
