Memes Throughout the ages episode 296: BowieKnife99

The podcast episode centers on the meme "Bowie Knife 99," an NPC driver in the racing game Forza Horizon 6, which became infamous for its overly aggressive behavior, such as ramming players off tracks and performing dramatic aerial attacks. The hosts, Rem TGM and Super Mega Man 10, initially knew little about the meme but dive into its origins, noting that clips posted on TikTok and Twitter quickly went viral in May 2026. They highlight how the AI’s chaotic tactics drew comparisons to other difficult AI opponents like Matt from Wii Sports, and how the meme spread through fan posts, roleplay accounts, and even official brand acknowledgments, such as Xbox UK’s humorous tweets. The hosts find the meme entertaining and appreciate how it adds unpredictability to a otherwise straightforward racing game. The episode also includes other segments: in "Meme Games," the hosts play a game called "Find the Funny" on iFunny, where they share and rate memes, with one referencing JibJab and another critiquing Superman’s portrayal. In "Criticism Castle," they read fan reviews and answer questions about favorite D&D monsters and least favorite episodes. Additionally, they discuss Fortnite news, including upcoming season crossovers with Sonic, Persona, and Mega Man, and share personal updates about jobs and projects. Overall, the episode blends humor, gaming culture discussions, and community engagement.

What does that mean for today? All right. Our meme for today was sent into us. I'm not- I don't know why I said that. It was- It was left in a Spotify comment. Uh, from one of our fans, uh, let me see who would actually- I'll say it after. Um, so I can find it. Uh, the meme- Our meme for today is Bowie Knife 99. I like- I heard about this, but I don't know what it is. Yeah. I saw a post- It's something with Forza. It is, yeah. Uh, and I thought this would be a fun meme to do because, uh, it's been a very long time since we've done a meme that we just like don't know anything about besides like we've seen it one or two times. Yeah. Um, so I thought this would be a fun one to do. I'm trying- Uh, okay. Uh, John Half Life. Uh, let, uh, told us to do this one. So John, this is for you. Thank you, John. Thank you. Yeah, me. Daddy! What do you do with me? Yeah, me. Did I miss like the spooky month episode? I just like didn't watch Senior Pello all the last year. Has he been doing any- I haven't watched one in like years. I'm pretty sure you- I'm pretty sure he does spooky month every year. Hmm. Uh. Yeah, I did. I didn't miss his spooky month. That's because he's woke now. Oh, no, I only missed one. What is this? He's woke now. Do YouTube animators- I'm just chatting. I'm just chatting. Dude, Jane Animations loves nobody. Huh? Well, Jane Animations is Israeli, so it's- Don't call her that. You literally- You sent me a YouTube video called Jane Animations The Animated. You said this is Pete. I- Yeah. Yeah. Four years ago. Listen. I don't know. All right. The meme. So Bowie Knife, 99, uh, is an AI driver. AI? [Sighs] Don't worry, guys. It's not- Don't worry, guys. It's not- It's not AI. It's- It's an AI in a game. Which AI has been- It's an NPC. It's an NPC. It's an NPC. It's a guy from Free Guy. It's right now. All right, man. Bond. You're dead. What? It was a good movie. It was a good movie. It was a good movie. It was a good movie. Those are the jacks up the guy movie. Yeah. I was just about to mention that. Get up, guy. That was, like, getting out of streaming set-up. Don't forget those. Damn. Yeah, he probably got paid like 10k just to sit at his set-up and record something on OBS. That's pretty fun. I'd paid 10k for that. Yeah, I would. Yeah. They should have put- They should have put BG mic in there, you know? No. I don't think I was, like, pretending to be Dan's brother. Yeah. That's really weird. He, like, has a wife, but he, like, pretends to, like, be married to an anime girl or something. Oh, that's- That's weird. Anyway. Bowie Knife 99 is in NPC in the game Forza Horizon 6. So an AI in video games is not- It's not, like, generative AI. It's just the- It's a CPU and Smash Bros. The people you follow against. Literally any enemy is an AI. Literally a- It's a robot. It's a- It's basically- It's just a thing that's programmed to do certain actions based on whatever is happening. And that is what Bowie Knife 99 is. He is a driver or- Drive a tar. Ooh. Drive a tar of the last Bowie Bender. The last Forza Bender. I was on the last- The mid movie. Ah! Oh, wait. Oh, you're- Yeah, but I'm talking about the blue people. Oh, okay. I was on the last Gearshifter. Ooh. Okay, that's niche. It's niche. What do you mean there's niche issues? Ah, let 'em go. Anyway. So Forza Horizon 6 is a 2026 racing game. It relates- it- it relates- it released on May 19th of 2026. So very, very recently. And Pretty Forza's meme was recommended to us like pretty much the week or the week after. I think I remember that, yeah. And he became very famous online or infamous as one might say on social media because he was so aggressive in the way he would take out play. He would take out players during races. And what he would do is he would knock them off the track. He would crush them from above. So he would- he would get above them. He would come down on them. Crush their car. That's pretty cool. And then, um, there was other stuff he'd do too. You know, he'd like, um. You know. I don't know any examples, but there- I would assume he's programmed to just do like a whole bunch of crazy moves to make sure you don't win. Um. Is it like supposed to be a high leveled AI? That's a good question. I actually don't- I would assume it is. Yeah. Uh, apparently he- apparently he's the most aggressive and powerful driver in the game. Uh, um. Now, people started posting a bunch of clips about him- about, uh, him and how he's like- how OP he is, you know. Um, and how he's very similar to Matt from Wii Sports. Um, because if you guys- if you guys don't remember Matt from Wii Sports. Yeah. Yeah. So Matt from Wii Sports is, uh, an AI similar to Bowie knife 99. Uh, in- in really, the only way he's similar is his difficulty. Um, he's- he's programmed to be very difficult. Um. What? I don't know what else to say. There's just programmed to be difficult. That's it. Um. Level max. Dashboards. Yeah. Yeah. If you want- if you want a fair comparison, it's max level CPU and smash. That's what, uh, Bowie knife 99 is and that's what Matt is. Um. So yeah, people would post clips on TikTok. Twitter and read it We love read my life is like a video game. Yeah. Oh, we are I that guy was ironic. I had no idea. I thought he was for real for the longest time Wow The the guy who just said my life is like a video game. That was ironic. I'm like my life is like a video. Get you know My life is like a tuba Play, I don't know Okay, tuba game Mega may not play too, but follow around a fat people playing tuba You should mega man. You should you should recreate the artwork That was commissioned by By Ding Dong. Oh Yeah, no, no, no, no. I don't know he's not a minor anymore. He can't do that. Yeah Do it mega man. We can we can we can put down the patreon No, I added bonus, you know No, you don't know. It's too neat Because it's only place around your life. Yeah, sorry I mean You know, I it's understandable, you know, they were talking about the problem with opoo Or whatever the video is on it literally Started making jokes immediately and laughing now like he says like the hard-ar back-to-back multiple times in the sonic adventure No, no, no, but but Chris. Oh, but Chris Oni. He's he's the evil mastermind Ground's office. It's it's like the most but it's so funny Did you know the train station in Friday night fucking week three is based off the train station near the new ground's office? Oh my god. Do they literally walk past F and F week three every day? Anyway, the meme here. Yeah, so that's it's it's boi knife 99 Yeah, let me see if I can get some more information On him here besides when I'm besides what we have um so So apparently if you're within five meters, it's five M that I'm seeing here, which I assume is meters. Yeah Basically, but what boi knife 99 will do is as soon as you get like within five meters how like immediately start gunning for you and trying to kill you In forza. Yeah, they gave him about raising. Yeah It's really funny. I like that Yeah, so basically people would post a bunch of clips about how like Every time someone plays against boi knife 99 It's like immediately Comes after you. That's really funny. I like that. Um Anyways, I thought this is like some dude. This is the second time I've mistaken AI for like an actual person Because I thought Matt was just a real dude You did Yeah, I thought I thought Matt was just a meme because it was like this is dude that like non-stop place We sports and it's just really good a nice. He's an AI I was foolish To be fair, I'm pretty sure my sister was the one who told me he was a real guy. So I'm mindful Dude, you see this dude name is the mat. Oh my god. He's This mat guy is insane Perkin me bowling or we sports bowling is crazy Anyway bca can you tell us the origin of this meme where it came from all that jazz, you know Yeah, I think I can on May 19th 2026 the racing video game forza her eyes and six was released The game features AI drivers and NPC opponents known as drive-atars, which are the you know the blue people And they are meant to challenge players and races like think think like a like white people black people What what are you talking about? You said rafes it. Yeah, I got it Reasons Mario made my flashkets. Oh You're not Nintendo. You're pre-ten though. Oh Wait, oh, that's funny. That's funny now cuz he's pre-ten does a thing Actually, yeah, that is a real thing Anyway, following the game's release some players noticed that the drive-atar by the name bowie knife 99 seemed overpowered and had a And how did tendency to violently push players off tracks by fish killing them or running into their cars? It's just a game about racing There are there are no power-ups. This is not Mario Kart. It's just racing and This this AI is programmed to ram into your car I mean in rocket racing. Okay. Yeah. Yes rocket racing. That's not Like forza is like this supposed to be like like a regular driving game. Am I correct? Yeah, forza is like It's supposed to be like semi realistic. Yeah, like like imagine imagine this so you're you're like It's like a it's like an organized race between it's like if if the the racing community In real life got together and just like an open field with a dirt path And they had a bunch of cars and they're like, okay, you guys race now and then they race, you know So it's not like you're slamming into each other Yes, so imagine imagine if you're just racing normally and then some crack head just Like ramming into your car And going off of like going off of hills and stuff and body slamming the other cars. That's that's what's going on Okay, so one of the earliest examples was uploaded by Tik Toker and F underscore you On May 20th, 2026. That's a creative username. Yeah. Yeah, it's one time. I'd like to use your name On May 20th, 2026 showing Bowie 99 drive into the drive into the front of the players's car from off track Gunnering over in 494,000 views in six days. Let me watch this video Oh, I'm available discover on Tik Toker. That is my little pony. Let me I'll see if I can find it. No, no, no, come on Never mind. Hold on. Tik Toker's bugging really bad Open How open sesame I've done a lot. You can do what? Okay. Let me just watch the YouTube video. Oh my god Sorry, can you hear that? No, no, I'm looking at the clips He's like he's like Like instead of grinding rails. He's like grinding on top of the car coming from off the track What he sent him under the mat Oh my god He just like shows up and starts like ramming into your car. That's not fair Did he ever get nervous? I mean I I would assume so but I don't I don't see anything What in the world That's pretty cool. This is cool. I hope they kept him in that's funny Yeah, no, they should make it a whole entire like Game mode within that game where it's like every single MV I'm like bowie knife 99. No, no, no, it's like there's multiple like there's multiple drivers like actual people and they all have to drive away from bowie Oh, yeah, oh my god, dude, forza asam. Oh my god. It's like actually done by daylight Forza asam dude roblox mella if I just get on the this is great This is actually crazy some of the clips. He's just like He like drifts in front of the car just to completely stop Killing all movement from both of them just to mess you up wait. Hold on. I have a theory What if bowie knife 99 Is turbo? Oh my god. Oh, I'm turbo The greatest racer ever do I love that movie so much. It's like one of my Like was like shipping themselves. Yeah, you sent me that and it was like five years ago, too. So it was real Yes, it was yes, it was The post yeah, the post was from five years ago My turn now. Yeah, all right. They should make a eyes like this in Mario Kart So you can they can like bully all the children. That would be so cool. Yeah Well, that would actually be a good way to make like racing and driving games more interesting It's just have that one NPC that starts killing me. I really like that idea of like a racing asim I think they should do that. I think that's like someone I think that's a good idea Or they should do it as like a like as a version of like I guess among us where there's like Multiple drivers and then there's just that one driver that kills everyone. That's an asim You just described dead by daily in every a They should like entire open world. That would be so cool I do not have words like you can go off-road and on-road Dude DVD with cars would be awesome. They should make that a mode in the game after like and you have to like survive for like a certain amount of time So why could you just make this in Fortnite? Yeah, that's somebody do that So what are you on UEMN and make that? Yeah, mainly make versus Boeing And release it when Fortnite mirrors happen Because that's coming. That would be cool. I think I think I think to different Most know my god most asims can't like differentiate themselves from other games right now So just like make your game like just car physics. That would be like that's make your asim where you're in a car That's so unique too because like no one does no one's doing that Yeah, also like gas state if you like get if you hit into like trees and stuff There should be like gas station areas where you're like you can eat all your stuff. That would be cool Yeah, and like Your cars. Oh my god. They're preparing your part to like be more stronger They're like probably at like weapons or something So I want to get on those there could be like an amp There could be like a like a healer like an ambulance That'd be awesome. And then there'd be a sheriff and it's just a police car. Yeah, it's got like a gun. It's got like a massive gun And the and for like the skin for like the killer can be like a horse Like a white like a candy You get a you get know what we we should get the white Oh my god Like okay, just okay think of this like like like roblox Like you know how like the roblox asim games have like killer intro's and stuff It's just like that but it's like from from a helicopter and you just see a white Bronco Like like on the road like from above It says as a killer selected OJ sims No, no, it's like white Bronco. Oh, it's in the car, but it wasn't him driving. It wasn't no it was his friend AC AC Anyway, anyway back back to the top again. Yeah, um All right super mega-man 10.

I'm color blind Thank you for getting that He looks yellow He does look good. I know that. I'm just letting you know he's lying. No, he is head I'm right and you're wrong when what if what if color blind people actually saw colors correctly and I think chariot actually asked this He was like what if what if color blind people just see the world normally That you can crack me if I'm wrong could chariot's here right now. We're doing this live to this court server But I swear to god he asked me that Just like that that's possible Yeah, that's actually That wait hold on that's like actually something that's very possible though Is it wrong? Okay, think about it. I think about it. I think about it. It's more normal. Okay, but it's not but like it's It's like it's pretty much split in half right because like think about how many people Our color blind I feel like a lot of people are at least semi-color blind to like at least one color You think so I don't I just feel like a lot of people I've met are like somewhat color blind in a way Let me let me google how do you people color blind? This has a lot to do with boi knife You know You know 300 million close Yeah, there's also a lot of like Maybe I don't care maybe maybe we're normal We're on your color blind. Yeah, I don't care Listen Wait, wait, you're color blind, right? Yeah, okay, we're the normal ones Yeah, you guys are weird. Yeah, you're green Now I just see Pikachu as yellow one time I was coloring Pikachu like Like yellow yellow green or something and I think megaman like Som was like, okay, that's the wrong color Because I had colored like the whole thing I'd be mad too. I'd punch a hole through megaman's chest That's why I use hex codes now whenever I'm doing anything color related online I look up the hex code because I I cannot like eyeball the color I just do it in hope for the best that's pretty much At the hex codes take two seconds again. Yeah, I know. Sorry. We're for a look Okay, but think about all the pixel art that I do and all the different colors that I have to Use constantly. Well, okay, most of it I'm not I'm not that color blind. I'm only colorblind with like purple and blue Turbo test. Okay, so you're just stupid. Okay, how about you kill? How about you kindly Infred laser lenses yourself. That's really nice of you, right? Yeah, yeah At one point I mean Mega man Can you kill yourself like I'm I'm I'm gonna punch a hole through your chest like I said earlier. I'm You're caught off from talking there. Just call myself iron man Okay Iron mega man. All right. What I was gonna say before we get back to talking about boeing knife 99 is like at one point like Uh, this is to do a sunset saga milleys hair is supposed to be brown at one point It was like this like reddish brown and I got really mad because that man I had to like go through all the sprites and just like correct the color that pissed me off That sucks. Yeah, anyway, I get I get it right 99% of the time because I only get like blue and purple and red and brown for some reason is like no, no, those are very those those are really similar. Okay That those are like the only two uh yellow and green. I used to have like yellow and like lime green I used to have a little bit of a problem with but now I can pretty much tell anyway I don't know how we started talking about being colorblind back to boeing knife So what what do we think about the actually before we do that what are Actually, yeah, let's do what what what do we think about the meme? What do you think about it? It's funny I think it's I thought I didn't know if I was gonna enjoy this one or not because I Want I knew nothing about it too. I couldn't I like googled the meme, but it just looked boring so I didn't go into it. Yeah But it's nice. I got to learn more about it because it's actually ended up being really interesting Yeah, I think it's decently funny. I've seen it a couple times on my four-year page on ticsock. It's it's decently funny I agree this was this was much more interesting than I was thinking because you know, it's like oh difficult npc But go red car blue go blue car But like it ended up being like like actually insane what the npc was doing and like they didn't even Like literally off of clips to stop just to hit people It didn't even like make it do that on purpose too. Yeah We came high-show speed when he dropped that car Wait, what is that? What is that mean? I chose speed playing like Oh, okay, I thought you meant like he actually drove a car off a car You maybe you did that Anyway, what do we think about forza Uh, I never played it. Never really had any reaction of mine I remember uncle john playing forza back in like racing games look fun But I just I have I have crossroads if it's not if it's not Mario Kart and it's not saw if it's not crossroads I don't want it. I wouldn't play forza if it was the only racing game I had it looks fun I just I can't see myself dedicating tons of time to listen. Here's the thing for it This forza have extreme gear. Uh, no, so I'm not playing extreme gears like for people to That's a sonic thing. No extreme gear down vote. That's like that's like asking if like forza has a comp Yeah, I wasn't serious I wasn't seriously asking that No extreme gear down vote. I'm not playing. I'm not playing it I would probably give it a try Because of how I'm racing is gonna be shutting down soon. What? Entirely. Yeah, like forever. I thought it was already gone No They're getting rid of everything Like eat like rocker racing is it's gone. It's done What do you mean is they're they're just shutting it down. What do you mean? They're getting rid of it What how much more do you want Mega Man to clarify ice there again? I'm I'm confused like can you not please like there's no you can't play it now But in October what it's going to be what about community maps are those going away. Yeah. Oh wow. Okay Hey epic look what happens when you launch in this person's games The time when chapter 7 season 2 was happening. You know what? I'm not actually surprised because The they were they basically had four games running in one game for like three years now and it doesn't seem to have worked out So wait, what about all the trails and stuff. What about the stuff for cars? Do you keep that? No, the specifics on like those creative maps but like Like the rocker racing. No, he means like he mean he you do key. I understand what PCA saying you do keep those. It's the um You're talking about the items you can buy for a car. Oh, yeah, those stuff are same. So I really like using it because the whole point of having those was to also customize your cars in. Yeah, but now you can do it in battle rail. So yeah, that's true. Um, what was I going to say? It's a little fun fact. I have not used anything but the extreme gear in crossroads. Yeah, Sam, I have never used anything else. I have no intention of using a car. I don't care. I want the extreme gear. I don't care if the extreme gear sucks. I'm not using a car. Does it actually, is it worse than a car? The extreme gear, you need to play a specific way. Oh, okay. You need to like always be boosting and drifting and stuff. Okay, I thought those for like everything. Uh, it's more like it's more stuff for the extreme. I wouldn't know because I haven't played with anything. It also has the worst recovery time. So when you get hit by something, like you're, like you get knocked for like two times as longer. Oh, it sucks. Yeah. Anyway, um, I think, I think for, I remember Uncle John playing forza, like, I don't know, three maybe back in like 2015. That's cool. Yeah. So that's why that's another reason I wanted to do it because it reminds this meme. Like, Uncle John's cool. Anyway. Okay, Mr. Rocket racing. Ten likes and I'll get four to six. Ten likes and epic will bring back rocket like, rocket racing. Is anyone sad about it leaving? No. Like a few people. Like I, I'm really sad about it because I really enjoyed playing that. It's a really crazy. Sorry, I'm eating ice cream. Um, where did you get that from? Oh, my mom came up and gave me ice cream. Oh, it's really crazy how they're getting rid of all these things they had an entire event for. Yeah. Yeah, that was that's the one that really confuses me because rocket racing was one of the modes that was going to stay forever like these. It also has been. It also had ranked. Yeah. And they said it in the, like the announcement for all that stuff that he was going to be a permanent thing. But now, but ever since that news, when the 1000 employees left, that was really upsetting. But first it was ballistic and the battle stages. Yeah. Which I was fine with. What a battle stage. It was basically you, it's festival, but you get to fight off. Oh, that. Yeah. I didn't really care for that one because that one kind of died down after a while. It wasn't interesting when he came out, but like now it's just, it was just kind of there. Ballistic. I would have played it more. And it was really, it was a really fun game to try sometimes. Sometimes. But now it's just gone. Yeah. And it was kind of sad to hear that rocket racing was leaving in October, which is the same month that, uh, just shut down as well. Oh. I don't get why they had to shut rocket racing down. I think if it got if they kept working on it, I feel like it would have gotten a lot more attention. I'm working. They stopped doing like the seasons and stuff. That's what really I think that's where it died. Is when they stopped doing all the seasons and stuff. Anyway, uh, Bowie knife 99s. It's, I think the meme is, is cool. I think it was very interesting to learn about, um, and see, I recommend you guys go and look at, uh, it clips a bit because it's really funny. Um, yeah. That's it. Yeah. All right. Well, that's about it. See you. Voice critical. I will see you all in the meme games. Goodbye. Goodbye. Bye-bye. [MUSIC] Hello and welcome to the meme games games. Hello, everyone. And welcome to the meme games. The part in the show where we play games based on this episode. So before the REM TGM, would you like to go under further? All right. So the meme games are the part in the show where we play games based on this episode and past episodes. We have a picker wheel that we call the meme well, the bunch of different games they can play on it. Um, where is the most points? By the end of the season from these games wins the meme games. Let's spin that wheel. Spin that wheel. Spin that wheel. Spin that wheel. Spin that wheel. Oh, what do we get? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to find the funny. How do we play this one REM TGM? And find the funny. What we must do is we must go on to I Funny and find something that's actually funny because I Funny is notorious for not being funny. So it is our job to find something funny and whoever finds the funniest meme on I Funny gets a point they win the meme games. That's right. And we have a picker wheel that we call the name wheel has all three of our names on it. And we are going to be spending it. See you guys first, second hand third in today's meme games. Let's spin.

I know what you're quoting, but sound effect is used in that video. What? That's the sound effect doesn't from fairly hard. That's what I was quoting. The wrong sound effect. That's from fairly hard. Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. It was like the superior from the show and then he walks out in terms of his brain and then he pulls his. Oh, you know, that's it. That's that's that's the negation. Yeah, that's what I was quoting. Oh, okay. I know that was from that anyway. I was quoting the same thing. It's just a different video anyway. Shut up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What do I say? I like go find the funny. Three, two, one. Find the funny right now. Take a look at this. I don't know if I don't know if you guys saw this, but we were talking about this in a break room at one point about whether or not I should about like Angry Birds blushes. Maybe yet. I got them.

And, uh, I want to pick that up. It's like 50 bucks. I, I can spare 50 bucks for a speaker of Angry Birds bomb. Yeah, you should. You should. And bomb is bomb is one of my favorites. So he is, he is my favorite. So, uh, you have to, you have to. Hello, I. Oh, look at me. I know the letter to him for Pete's sake. And I love, I love. Yeah. Me and me and BCA wrote letters to the Angry Birds. I wrote a letter to shock and BCA wrote a letter to bomb. Yeah. None of us.

I think people are forgetting like super like supergirls weren't supposed to be this like dark and gritty thing Yeah, they weren't like that Superman's whole thing is that he's literally just supposed to be like He's a good guy What did you just say?

I really love seeing Um. people say that they like listen to like like I love seeing not only new new fans, but I love seeing people say that they listen to a lot of episodes because like even one episode is like an hour and a half to two hours. If you've listened to a lot of episodes you've been listening to us for hours and hours on end. That just like I don't know it makes me happy knowing people like enjoy hearing us talk and they like find it. It's just it's nice hearing that people enjoy listening to us talk and it's like a nice relaxing thing for them to listen to for fun. There's still people enjoying us and still like like enjoying joking around talking about random games. I get still nice. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Moving on to Spotify. Not Spotify. Sorry the Discord server. Sorry I'm a little tired here guys from working my at my job. All right. Yeah. Let's see. All right. This week's criticism castle question. It was what is your least? Faith. What is your least? Gotta emphasize that least favorite episode of the podcast and why. I like I like doing these because it's like a I like doing like different ones like oh what's your favorite thing? What did you like the most? Then doing like a like a random one like like like a like oh if you if you had to do this thing to the podcast or if you wanted this thing to change for fun. Why? And then I also like doing ones that are critical criticism. You know that see of us because we get to learn we learn a lot about what our fans want and what our fans enjoy just based off that. It's really cool. Yeah. All right. Yes. Let's see here. Sorry. Hold on. Off to look at that later. Sorry. Yay. Posted a real dough auger. So am I gonna run the osher? I predicted that. Oh my god. Yeah. All right. So Rousey said every single one I responded with Shalom and then let's see here. Daco said all besides the ones I'm in and gummy bear because that's your magnum opus. Yeah. Yeah. Our million plus view video on YouTube. Yeah. Hold on. Let's take a look at how that's doing real quick. I like I am like almost 100% sure our channel is just like subscribed to by a ton of like five girls. I think so. It's at 1.2 million views. Wow. That's not even like made money off of this. Yeah. Not not much. Yeah. Isn't it like four bucks or something? Yeah. Because we got it. It was after it got all those views that we started getting money for it. So that sucks. Yeah. I don't know. Then ECD says the first one because black. I guess I can I can see that because like the first one you know it's like you know we were we were literally just starting you know. Yeah. So we didn't really say too much. I'm out of touch. See? Yeah. Reference. Nope. Nope. Yeah. Reference. I say too much. I'm out of touch. St. Pablo. But all right. Okay. Dust said episode seven. It's neat but definitely not as polished as any other episode. Really you guys didn't need a recap at the time to be honest. Still though a solid episode. That's the recap. I agree. I don't know why we did that. Yeah. We just had two. I like now it would make sense because we've done close to 300 episodes. But at the same time I just feel like a recap wouldn't work because it's too much to do in one episode without making it like hours long. Yeah. Um. Then Poyo said I'd probably say something like the Hawk like like like the Hawk toa. Like the Hawk toa. Y'all y'all just did it for the popularity of the meme and it showed because you genuinely did not want to cover that meme. Um. I went back and re-list into that episode. I was expecting us to be like like joking around the whole time. We like did not want to talk about it. Oh yeah. I know but like now I feel like it was even like ironically funny. I'm pretty sure. I think so too because it was in like early October, which is like before the lunch Lee talked to it was around the time of talk to it but it was before like it was around the time it was starting to be satire. Yeah. Um. Um. It was like it was just like it was just insufferable before it became satire and we recovered it when it was still insufferable. Yeah. Um. And then ECD this is just a normal review here. He says, um, review, uh, please do EDP part two. Um. Here's the issue with that. We literally can't do EDP part two because there's not enough to talk about that like we can actually talk about on the podcast. Yeah. He's done really really really really bad stuff. Like we like we can't talk about his past because we've already talked about that. We can't talk about what he's done now. Like what he's he did in the interview because literally all of like we can't we literally cannot talk about that. Yeah. He says he says like bad stuff. Yeah. I was I was about to say maybe as like a part two we just watched the interview and called it a day. Uh, he, but he just like admits to being a predator. Yeah. I don't think that would be a good idea. Yeah. That's more sad than it is funny. Like I know people are making like, uh, memes about the documentary and stuff, but like he is actually straight up admitting to being a groomer. Yeah. So he's only got a. Yeah. I mean, he's only got a Christian. Yeah. Why I don't know why Christian was in it. That was really weird. Yeah. Uh, he's only got like a few months left. So it doesn't really matter. Christian? No. EDP. What what's going to happen in a few months? He has like an illness that like has a life expectancy of five years and he's had it for four years. Oh, I thought that was fake. No. Oh, it's real? Yeah. So he's actually he's going to die like this year or next year. Oh, yeah. Sorry. No, there will not be any shrines. I'm sure people will bake cupcakes that day. We should. Yeah. We should do that. Yeah. I'd be glad to do that. Yeah. Um, that is everything. Yeah. I think yes. All right. Well, thank you so much to honor George Jaguar, Harrison and Turkey 11 for the five star and supposed five star reviews, as well as to everyone who participated in this, you know, week's poll. Uh, if you want to be in criticism, cast a next time. Make sure to leave a review. Five star or not. Doesn't matter. We just want to hear your criticism. Like name implies. Let's go to the news. Mega man. Kill me. Make the fortnight. Kill me. Kill me. Alrighty. So during the last week of chapter seven season three, there will be a whole bunch of all day power hours or different variants of the sprites all day on Tuesday. What? All day by yay. Oh my god. Oh, day, uh, they opened me a normal power hour from two to four to nine to 11, right? Or the mythic sprites so that we people are able to finish their collection before the season ends. And the event, a small event is happening on Saturday at 2 p.m. I will be doing a stream on that and I'll be starting at 130 before the event happens. So that way I can be able to watch the event and also try the power hour, even though I have all the sprites, because I do want to feel what it's like to actually get a mythics like an actual mythic sprite from a chest. Uh, I don't know if Rem or BCA will join me, but I have mentioned it to them and they say they might. During this week, we got a whole bunch of teasers for the next season, which has been confirmed that it will have sonic tetris, persona, and sadly, 99 nights in the forest. Yeah, I won't thought it was going to be enough for my craft, because literally the teaser for it was survive the night. So bummed for a large scam? Yeah, I'm not happy about it. And also during this week, a lot of there's also been complaints about big content creators going to see actually trying out the new season early. And I think it's really stupid because this is something this is something that already happened before like before chapter sevens even started. So I don't know why people are complaining. Wait, wait, hold on. People are people are mad that content creators went to a thing for content creators to play the season early. Yeah, and it was like the bigger content creators, like medium size, it's all size content creators. Okay, I feel like everyone's complaining. I feel like everyone complaining about that is a jobless bum. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too, and they're also saying that it's like favoritism. How though they're not getting anything. It's for content. I don't, it's a promotion thing. It's not. Yeah, they don't get anything important. They're getting content. Yeah, and they have and like the they all the big content creators who have got to do it have said that it was good. They haven't even posted it like they haven't revealed anything. They haven't said anything. All they said that it was good and everybody is going to like this next season. They haven't posted actual footage of what they saw yet. They will though during the downtime for the new season, but they haven't spoiled anything yet. And people are saying they've been doing that is just ruining the hype for the season, which is stupid because I'm still hyped and I'm fine with them getting doing that because this already has happened before. So it's stupid that you're complaining about it now. The time before chapter seven when they did that whole big thing. So it's really stupid and I don't know why people are still complaining, are complaining about that. It's normal. I'm fine with it. Nice and I'm still pretty hyped for this next season. And during today we got a very big leak, which is the key arc for the season. Now it isn't exactly 100% sure that it's real or fake because there are bits and details of it that may like kind of make it iffy, but I think it's 100% real and it does show the confirmed characters that have been announced already like Sonic, Persona 99 nights in the woods. For us. I don't always still mess that up every single time. 99 nights a job. And we also do show some other crossovers, including Mega Man. You have to wear the Mega Man skin. Yeah, definitely. I will. And you can see his dog in the game as well. Ackman, Branch Bandicoot, and Pac-Man is already in the game already. There's like a little small cosmetic stuff like a backbling and emo, which I do only move forward. There seems to be some other games in here, but I don't really know. In the photo you can see like a minecraftified links. So I don't really know if that's going to be like a skin in the game or that's going to be like some part of the gameplay of that. I think that's really cool. Shadow, Eggman, and Tails are shown in the key arc as well. Spyro is in there. Oh my God, Skylanders. One of the main characters from Kingdom Hearts is in here. So Zora. There seems to be a Mega Man weapon in the game. So that'd be cool. Yeah. There seems to be some like other characters that I don't exactly know where they're from. There does seem to be a reference to Mario Kart in here. What? Where? It's like right above Skylanders. Oh my God, that doesn't look like Mario Kart. And there does seem to be like a little thing to Zelda. I don't know if that's really Zelda, but that's just a shield. Yeah. And then in the key arc there's several other like crossover games that are already in the game already. So they're definitely going to be bringing back a whole bunch of video game crossovers. And hopefully more will be coming out later than the sequel season. Guys, I'm sorry to leak it. I know this. I know the the secret skin. It's Shiner. Oh yeah. Sorry guys. I just realized in Douglas profile picture, criticism, Castle reference. Look at his shirt. I see here. Is that a white castle shirt? Yeah. Yeah, that's no one. But I'm super hyped for this season. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us. And I can't wait to watch the event that's happening tomorrow. On to which there's like a little thing going on with like there's an extension that you can add on to your streams. And you can be able to collect sprites that pop up on your screen and you can get in game rewards for it. There's like multiple phases for it. So there's going to be like more stuff. There will also be lobby hacks that you can be able to like claim rewards for. There's going to be like secret codes. We already got one so far. And there's probably going to be more later on during the season. There's going to be a lot of good stuff coming this next season. It's extremely excited about it. I'm in real life now. I am actually starting the training for my job. I'm going to be working and going to be training for like three days for like three hours each 30 hours. And yeah. And I'll definitely be able to stream Tuesday and Thursday that week. So that's pretty good. I don't know about Friday. Maybe I can try and squeeze in something. You're not sure about every hour. Is this like coming? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Stop. It's yeah. But if if it doesn't get to that then maybe I can try to make Thursday stream like a little bit longer on that day. Maybe like do it early so that way I can make it a little bit simpler at work. Yeah. I probably get in trouble for that. Oh, you would. Yeah. Scott would like beat you. Yeah. Like tackle you to the ground. Yeah. The tear face. And the season trailer will be coming out on Sunday. So all bunch of good stuff happening in Fortnite. These coming few days. I'm extremely excited about it. And I'm kind of hoping for some like really good collabs. And I don't know. And I probably think if this is not going to be like a short collab. But I'm hoping it could be hoping something with pixels. No. No. Yeah. It's not going to happen. It's not going to. I know it's not going to happen. But I hope like they still kind of have some hope for it because it would work for this season specifically. But I know it's probably not going to happen. I still have some folks for it. I'm hoping for some other games like hopefully my craft infinite. Maybe even Hello Neighbor. Because there's still that there's still that rumor of that might be happening. Because then would you buy Mr. Peterson? I probably would. No, I asked for him. No. Ah, that's a tough one. Yeah, probably. Like did you buy hell a neighbor on Epic Games Store? No. No. I'd rather die than buy anything from the Epic Games Store. No one wants to use the Epic Games Store. Epic Games Epic Games. I'm going to tell you this right now. You can put my characters in Fortnite. I don't care. I will never use your horrid game site game store to put any of my games on. Never. It's not happening. It's like saying, hey, do you want your game on the EA launcher? No. Because if they were to do a collab with Hell of Neighbor, I think they would do like a little promotional thing where if you bought Hell of Neighbor, Hello Neighbor off the Epic Games Store, you could get the skin as a gift of purchase. So you've found it. I don't know if it was like an actual real leak or not, but there's like, they showed like a photo of like the skin and some of the cosmetics and one of them was a GM track to get out. I don't know. It hasn't been 100% confirmed on the Hell of Neighbor collab, but it could be a possibility and I would probably get it. And yeah, I think that's it for me. New videos halfway done basically. What will it be this month? Yeah. Nice. Is that it? That's it. All right. from that year. news for me I started working. Yeah. New video. I ran from target video. Never made I'm really upset about that because I wanted to have this being worked on like a few weeks ago, but still don't have the neighbor plush. Hopefully I'll get them soon. If not I'll have to buy another one and get the one I bought refunded. Besides that sunset saga is still working on it obviously.
