Passenger Seat Radio Episode 2022-01-20

Hello, everybody, this is Shane R Monroe, and you’re in the passenger seat with me. It’s passenger seat radio hot tub edition. It is January 20 2022. If you can believe it, and you’re not on my 13 mile commute to work, rather, we are in my hot tub right now. And it’s 624 in the morning. It’s been a busy morning already. I’ve been up, I’ve had breakfast I’ve worked out, I grilled my son in American arms art world history. And I am now in the tub doing a show. I know Shane, it’s been like, um, over a month. Like I think the last one was on the 15th of December. And once I catch you all up to speed on everything, you may understand why things have been so quiet.

Well, let’s start off with what happened in December. Right. So December, we had one of our many trips during the year to Vegas.

It was good. We had a nice long, like four day weekend in Vegas, it was amazing. Obviously, we all know that I can’t discuss what happened in Vegas, as per usual, but I can tell you that it was it was interesting, as always, more good stuff, as always. And the trip pretty much went without incident, which is always nice. No cars almost running out of gas, no rock smacking my window on the way you know, the standard stuff.

So the Vegas trip was good.

The couple of weeks leading up to the Vegas trip, though, is the end of the semester. And you know, my wife’s a math teacher. And so she’s, it’s really busy, right? Anybody who’s a teacher, especially if high school mathematics or high school in general probably know what the end of the semester is like, especially when the winter break is coming. And people have lost their freakin minds. And parents are taking their kids out for a week during finals, blah, blah, blah, everything. If you’re a longtime listener to this show, you know that it is ridiculously chaotic for my wife during those last couple of weeks. And finally, were able to get in the car and just go to Vegas and let all that go away. While the two are mad, say two weeks leading up, my wife had been sick. And a couple of days she had been really sick, more like Cold Flu type scenario. And of course, you know, parents are sending their kids to school knowingly having COVID. Of course the people who they send at school knowingly having COVID They won’t wear masks, they’re not vaccinated, whatever. So you know, my wife does what she can to protect herself. But it’s it’s just it’s not a good thing. It’s not a good thing. And, you know, this was, you know, if you’re watching the timeframe, this is when the Omicron you know, variants suddenly started becoming more pervasive.

And apparently, it doesn’t give a rat’s ass if you’re vaccinated or not. But anyway, oh, hey, Alex. Hey, man, what’s going on? I knew I hit somebody weird schedule doing a show this early in the morning. I should have known it’d be you. So Anywho. So my wife was pretty sick. But you know, listen, end of the semester, she couldn’t really miss any time. So there were days when she practically you know, put herself in a wheelchair and wheeled her as to school, sat completely on death’s door, you know, in her classroom, trying to do anything to get through the day, a couple of really bad days there. And then she started improving. And then she sort of fell back a couple of days. And then finally, by the time we ended up, getting to Vegas, she was in pretty good shape. And of course, for me, I was fine.

So we came back on a Monday, the Monday the ones that the 18th ish. And the second we got back to the house, I started to feel bad.

And this was like head cold chest cold, lots of coughing. It was it like slammed into me like a brick wall. And my wife also regressed Now listen, you know how Vegas is? Well, maybe you don’t. You know, Vegas has first of all, when we’re in Vegas, we’re completely out of our schedule. We’re up super late. We sleep in super late, everything is completely out of control. Right? And of course you’ve got all the cigarette smoking. I mean, listen, Vegas is still Vegas. And if you walk through a casino, you’re pretty much having to burn your clothes. As soon as you you know get back back home or back to your room or something. You had to change your clothes because it’s disgusting. So there’s a certain amount of you know, nasal irritation chest type coughing up

of nastiness that we expect when we come back from Vegas. But this was something completely different. This was something far, far worse. And so I had tried to work that Tuesday the next day. Because you know, we’re Listen, it was the holidays, everybody was short staffed. We were all all of my staff were over. We’re not we’re trying not to overlap each other’s time off. It’s really, really difficult when you’re at half staff already, and then people start calling in sick. So fortunately, my number one, you know, my second in command, my, my general, if you will, he was he was in he was good. And I’m like, Dude, I don’t want to burden you. I know, I’m supposed to be back this week. But this is this is not looking good. This is looking bad. And he’s like, he’s like, no problem. No problem. Just get rest. I’ll take care of everything. So cool. Cool, cool.

Well, come, guy, what was it? So Tuesday, by Tuesday, I was completely sick off my ass. I mean, I was down on the couch. For eight days, I was on the couch for eight days, doing 0.0 I would get up and go to the bathroom, I’d get up and go to bed. But in reality, for eight days, I was I was sequestered to the couch.

Now we were supposed to go with my mother in law, to Phoenix Zoo lights later in the week. And my wife, by the way, had come down ill as well. So I’ve had fallen real, this all look like the same thing. The head cold, the chest cold.

And she was she was also she was down as well, but not as bad as me. And so she was taking care of me and making my food and you know, getting the drinks. But even she started to get bad for a couple of days within that week.

I think it was Wednesday, when my wife’s like, Hey, you’re probably not gonna be going to Zoo lights with us? And I’m like, No, I don’t, unless I have a miracle recovery in the next day or two. I mean, I can’t even really get up. I mean, if I get up, I start coughing, it’s, it wouldn’t be good for me to go walking around a zoo.

And so she’s like, I wonder if we should get tested for COVID? I mean, I’m going to be around my, you know, older mother. And a couple of days, we should probably, you know, Clear that out. And I’m like, Yeah, but I mean, how are we gonna get this done like this quickly. And so we find we found a place called like mobile covid.com, or something crazy like that.

And it was they, you know, this was back before there were you know, you think the lines to get into Return of the Jedi back in the 80s was a pain in the ass. Look, look at the COVID testing stations in major cities. That’s a line around the block. And you know, if you feel like you’re on your deathbed, you don’t really want to stand in line and try to get a COVID test. But at this point in time, these mobile these mobile units were available readily. And so my wife looked it up. And of course, you know, COVID testings are supposed to be free. And they are except for in this case, rapid testing was not free. It was like 129 bucks for rapid testing. And I and she goes, Do you want us to both do rapid testing? I said, Tell you what, why don’t you do a rapid test? Because you’re gonna want to go with your mom, even if I have to be at home. Why don’t you get a rapid test? I’ll get the regular test. Let’s be honest, if you’ve got it, I’ve got it. Right. So if you and if I’ve got it, you’ve got it. I mean, I’ve had my tongue in your mouth in the last 48 hours. So trust me one. If one of us has it, the other one has it. And she’s like, that seems like good advice. And so we went and we got swabbed. And she got her results back in, what, 45 minutes, something like that. And she was negative. And I’m like, All right, well, just a really nasty bronchitis type head, chest cold. Well, we’re out of it in a couple of days. No problemo.

So she ends up going with her mom to the zoo lights, they have an awful good time. I’m at home sequestered on the couch. And I rewatch the Speed Racer, I want to talk about that. That’s on my list of things to talk about. Because I have a lot of time to sit and watch content for a days. I got lots of things to talk about about those eight days. But this will have to do for now.

So anyway, so she went. And the next day, which I think was Christmas because they went on Christmas Eve I think it’s all kind of a blur.

So we’re sitting in the hot tub and I get a note from the testing facility. Well, I’m positive. So I’ve got COVID And I’m like son of a bitch. But she tested negative. And listen, there was no isolation or mass or anything else going on. So she probably had it too. And the rapid test probably was negative. We don’t know. So we got it. There’s a whole bunch of we got a whole bunch of scenarios.

As floating around, my guess is she got it the two weeks before Christmas, she got over it during that time period right before we went to Vegas, I got infected. Probably what’s funny, probably not in Vegas, where you would expect to get infected with, you know, the Black Plague of the 2000s. But no, I think I think she brought it home from school because there was plenty of nonsense going on there. And then I got it. As you know, I started getting it and then it came to fruition during that week after Vegas. So I was isolated for you know, this was before they changed the isolation period to five days. So, you know, I’m on quarantine for 10 days, I ended up calling in sick to work the almost the whole week. The week after that my number one my general was going on vacation, and I didn’t want to deny him. So while I was like a quarter capacity, the week following. And technically I was still on COVID restriction from work and worse, were working remotely. So it’s no big deal.

But yeah, I mean, I was still feeling horrifying. But I was able to work like half days be available, do basic stuff. So I didn’t really have to be sick those days. But I mean, I was limited capacity for sure.

Yeah. And so obviously, you know, that was a couple of, you know, that was a good two, two and a half weeks. And then of course, you know what it is like after you’ve been sick and you start recuperating, you’re weak, you’re tired.

You know, so that that was pretty much the entire end of December from when we got back from Vegas. I was basically dead to the world for a couple two, three weeks.

Yeah, so that explains where that is. Once I got back to work, you know, the holidays run from about the middle of December to the end of the first week in January, depending on when the holidays fall. That’s when like you’re at half staff at work, right? Government job. Everyone takes time off. I had to burn. I think I had to burn like eight days of time in December. It’s just crazy. It’s crazy town. Crazy Town stuff. But yeah, so that’s that catches you up with the whole COVID thing.

So yeah, I mean, I don’t know where to go with that. How severe was it? What did I get? We don’t know. When you get your test results back. It just says positive for you know, SARS, COVID. Blah, blah, blah, COVID-19. So, I don’t know if I Omicron. I don’t know if that delta I don’t know what the hell I had.

Double vaccinated no booster, and the only actual symptoms. So I went through and I was looking at Omicron symptoms and all this other stuff, because I’d kind of like to know what I had. Right. And honestly, the only symptom, the only thing that if I hadn’t been tested,

I probably wouldn’t have known I had COVID. The only thing that would have been indicative was about right around Christmas, I lost my sense of taste and smell. Which by the way, I want to point out, if you’re fighting an aggressive chest and head cold, you’re not tasting or smelling much anyway, right? So I could totally believe that people who get infected with COVID who experience Cold Flu, bronchitis type scenario, they might not even realize that they got COVID They probably don’t even realize they lost their sense of smell and taste. But I’ll tell you what, once you know that it’s gone. Then you’re going Holy shit, this is fucking creepy. And it is creepy.

And it’s really weird because you could literally have a lemon shoved up your nose and you got nothing. And I find it I’m not happy I got COVID I’m not happy that I was sick for two weeks. I’m not happy about any of that. But I’m kind of I’m kind of glad that I got to experience what it was like to lose the sense of smell and taste. It’s a very, it’s interesting to say the very least. So it was kind of I was kind of glad and it started to come back. I was I was down for about two days with no smell and taste and then it came back about 20% per day after that, so at some point I could smell the the lemon if it was shoved up my nose, I could smell my wife start kiss if I had her arm under, you know, right underneath my nose, you know, that sort of thing. So I did start to come back but it was really really creepy. And I was really honestly I was really upset that I might have that for six months. You know people say that Some people say when they get it that they lose it for like six months. So I was very happy to start having it back sooner than later.

So I believe obviously, I had a very mild case was this? Did I have a mild case? Because of vaccinations? I don’t know. Did I have a mild case? Because I have the Omicron variant? I don’t know. Here’s the thing. Nobody fucking knows anything. And that’s part of the problem. All we can do is speculate and guess. So now, it’s like, Should I get the booster? Do I have natural COVID? immunities? Now? How long is that good for bottom of the truth is nobody knows a damn thing about anything. All we do is speculate postulate and theorize. And so I don’t know, I don’t know what my next steps are. Am I going to get a booster? I don’t know. How am I? Do I have COVID? Immunity? Depends on who you ask. How good of COVID immunity do I have? Depends on who you ask. So I don’t know. Anyway, I’m, I’m not glad to have had it. I’m glad to have had the mild case that I did have the opportunity to experience some of it. And then I’m very happy. Of course not to be not to be this point time, you know what I’m saying?

Anyway, let’s see here. Enough of this COVID Nonsense, you probably want to know what the hell else is going on.

Let’s see, I’ve got your time is 640. Okay, so recently within my peer group, and now outside of my extended circles, so to speak, if you’re a Google Plus fan, you know what I’m talking about. So, in my immediate circles, Alex here, in fact, who’s on the chat right now? Ended up getting a handheld device called the amber Nick. RG 351 V, as in Victor, your no fee as a victory? If you’re going to do it, do it right. So he was really impressed with it. And then one by one, everybody I know, seems to have gotten their paws on one of these. I mean, turn the Jets back on, don’t want to ruin the ambience here.

Everybody’s getting one of these things. Now. Apparently, this device is about a year old. And so we are late to the party. But boy, what a party it is. So let me i If you follow my YouTube channel, you’ve probably seen a couple of videos I did on it. And this is really like, this is the Gen X or device. And I say that with peace and love, peace and love. Because it really it’s a it’s a handheld device. It’s a four by three screen. Shouldn’t you hate four by three? No, no, no, I am a fan of original aspect ratio. If the original aspect ratio of a movie or a TV show, or a video game is four by three, I’m not looking to stretch it into 16 by nine. I’m not looking to alter the aspect ratio of the original. When I watch you know, Battlestar Galactica from the 70s. It’s in four by three. And I watch it in four by three on a 16 by nine screen on TV on my television. I don’t try to stretch it out or modify it to fit my screen I wanted, I want to see it the way that it was intended. So if you look at the content that we GeneXus, or at least in my peer group that we are interested in, you’re talking about early consoles, Atari galega. Vision and television, early computers, Commodore 64, Amiga, we’re interested in arcade games, which were all four by three sometimes.

Occasionally not but for the most part four by three, either portrait or landscape. Sometimes I think the vertical ones were slightly different resolution. Maybe Alex can cross check me on that one if he’s still listening. But for the most part, everything like before 1992 Right? Almost everything was four by three. As such, I you know, you would think well, I don’t want to I don’t want a handheld. It’s not widescreen. Well, listen, I came to realize and I had this Amber’s neck while I was down on the couch during my COVID bout. So I had a lot of time, a lot of time to mess with it. A lot of time to play with it. I was using my phone to curate rom sets. It was really, really cool if you see my videos, and this is old news to you.

But I will tell you that the four by three aspect ratio, the the layout, the ergonomics of the device, listen, it’s almost perfect. I mean, there’s a couple of things wrong with it.

Namely, it’s not quite powerful enough to give me the Amiga emulation that I want, but you can go all the way up to like playstation one and get a reasonably decent experience. Now, when you started hitting in 64 or PlayStation One, that generation you know, it comes down to how much are you willing to mess with it? How much are you willing to spend?

Wipeout, you know, emulation cores, play with this setting play with that setting. If you’re willing to do that, you can get a pretty decent experience all the way up to PlayStation One for the most part. PlayStation Portable, you know, pretty much forget about it.

You’re just not it listen, you want to play god of war from PlayStation Portable, not gonna happen on here, at least not very well.

So it’s a really neat device. And the more I mess with it, the more I played with it, some of the things that it has built in like, like, like scraping of game metadata, that’s, that’s actually done very, very well, retro achievements, which is something I’m late to the party to, which essentially allows certain emulators and emulator cores to, to track achievements or trophies, right. So just like a modern game, when you do something cool, or you reach a certain level, or you get a certain score, you can actually get a trophy for playing frickin Pac Man, dude, for playing Colico vision games for playing any of the a lot of these old games have achievements that are now tracked by a central website that the amber Nick actually communicates with in real time. So when you load piano up, and you’re playing puyang, and you kill five wolves with me, you’re going to get a, you’re going to you’re going to get into ciment for that and it’s going to be up on the site, you’re gonna be able to share with your friends. It’s really really damn cool.

Alex says vertical arcade games were nine by 16 If memory serves, okay, so yeah, so rotated 16 by nine. All right, so there you go. So needless to say, portrait oriented games, arcade games, especially like the aforementioned Uyen can be a little bit small on the screen unless you want to zoom it. But who wants to do that, and ruin a perfectly good game. But again, for the most part, you’d be amazed at how N screens great, it’s not some nasty, cheap, TFT crap screen. It’s actually a good bright, colorful strip. Listen, I could talk all day about the Ambernath. Suffice to say go check out Monroe world’s YouTube channel. If you want to see, you know, 10 things you need to know about the and Bernanke, I think, listen, I think like everybody in my listening audience would probably benefit from having one and it’s 100 bucks. So you know, you look at Steam deck and go, there you go. That’s the answer to every single problem in the universe, aside from the fact that it’s 600 bucks, right?

As a mortgage payment, not a handout. So. So yeah, so if you’re looking for a sort of a go between or a get you by until your steam that gets here, or you’re just really interested in that era of gaming in a portable form factor that makes complete sense. And Burnick RG 351 V, they also have an M model, which is widescreen. But I’ll tell you what, and there’s only one well, there’s one analog stick and one D pad, if you get the M, I believe it is two analog sticks, which appeals to a lot of people. But remember, if you’re looking at dual analog sticks as a means of controlling cameras in third person, or first person point of view games, this device is gonna really run much of that. So if you want twin stick shooters like Robotron, or Smash TV, or you know any of these other dual stick type scenarios, yeah, that would make sense. But also realize that you’re going to be wasting a good chunk of that screen. Because if you’re playing Robotron, or Smash TV or these other dual stick games, you’re probably going to be playing in four by three on a 16 by nine screen. So you got it, you got to do the math and decide what’s best for you. One of the important things to remember though, is these devices are not cross compatible. So if you see an image or a set of ROM images or whatever, disk images, SD card images for the Wii that you really, really like it’s got everything you want. You can’t just unpack and put it in the M and vice versa. They are not directly compatible. So and there’s three different OSs you might have on there and so the you have to make sure you get the right OSS, Bob like I said, I could talk all day about the end Burnick but I definitely wanted to bring it to this audience. Cuz I know a lot of you are retro gaming radio refugees.

So let’s talk about retro gaming radio. I’ve got some other stuff to talk about, which I’m not going to have time for I got to get out of the tub and get ready for work. But so retro gaming radio, it started in 1998 many people including myself, consider it the invention of internet radio, which would later become podcasts. Yes, I I will take honestly I’m going to take credit right now. I’m going to say screw it. Forget my humility at the door. I invented podcasting. I didn’t get the credit for it, but I really invented it.

So I mean, this goes way back 1998 If you can if you think about it unbelievably. So it’s almost 25 years retro gaming radio. Half a century old Unbeliev or quarter sorry, deficit quarter of us.

And trialed. And so, obviously, you know, retro gaming radio hasn’t been around since I think 2011. It’s been a long time.

I was selling retro gaming radio DVDs for like years one through 567, and eight. But let’s be honest, there’s a lot of content that never got released to the public, right? As soon as, like after your ad, there was like two more years of retro gaming radio, never available on a disk. You can’t download them anymore. They’re just not available. And so over the last, I don’t know, decade, I’ve been asked, you know, can we get like, a full set of right? I mean, like everything I want, people come to me all the time and say, I want to buy everything to do with retro gaming radio, I want all the shows, I want all the interviews, I want all the eggs, I want it all I want to own a definitive set, because I’ve got all your discs, but I know we’re missing stuff. We all know that I have stuff slaved away onto a disk somewhere that’s not you know, hasn’t seen the light of day in 15 years. I want it all. And frankly, my ass is too lazy to go and do that. And if I did, how would I deliver it? You know, most people like I want to be able to buy shows. And it’s like, yeah, I’m not into that. It’s sort of like the album versus singles thing. Right? retrogaming radio is not meant to be a singles. It’s meant to be an album. And so I never really wanted to sell episodes individually. And say well sold for a buck apiece. Yeah, it’d be like iTunes. Now, it works for Apple because they can do it at scale. When you’ve got 100 billion people buying $1 songs on iTunes, you’re going to make some money at that, it’s going to be worth your time, when you’ve got a fan base of a few 1000. And Pay Pal is taking 36% of the dollar. And you know, you’re the one that has to worry about where to store it, where to host it. You’re paying for the hosting, and blah, blah, blah, sugar Road, blah, blah, blah, Gumdrop Road, wherever the hell the name of that. But listen, I investigated it. And every single time I looked at it, the bottom line is not worth my time. And honestly not worth the audience’s time, not the respect the audience deserves. The audience was very plain, we want it all. And we want to in some way that I don’t have to hook up a CD ROM drive to access it. Message received. So about six months ago, well, almost a year ago, I guess I started thinking about what would be how would I do a definitive edition of retro gaming radio.

And obviously, it has to be everything. Lock, stock and barrel like going out of business sale, which it kind of is everything must go. So no more selling CDs, no more selling DVDs, that’s all off the table, they’re gone, you’ll never be able to buy one of those again, however, on the Definitive Collection, you will get the disk images and covers for every single one of the discs that got released, even the stuff you were never able to buy. And I say this with peace and love, peace and love. Once I release the year one through five DVD, you can no longer by the year one through three or the year four collection.

And that’s really kind of sad, because those collections had their own amount of charm. So I tried to include them in the year one through five discs. But there’s a it’s a it’s a piece of history that’s sort of missing, unless you were really early on in the retro gaming radio era, right. So I made all of that available. I made all of all of those discs available. I made the artwork available, you can literally you know, you can literally make whatever you want to complete the collection. Maybe you only bought, maybe you never bought your eight, well, yeah, you can burn and print your own your eight. And along with that, I secured the rights to a couple of uncut interviews that I was unable to originally No, not the Gary Goldman interview. Sorry. That’s going to have to wait until Gary leaves us right. I mean, I can’t I can’t put him in the spotlight based on that information. And maybe it’ll never get released. But no, that is not on the set. But there were some interviews that had to be cold and cut that I was now I’m now allowed to release in whole.

I also found several higher quality versions of the show, right? Because I you listen, we were unlimited bandwidth back then you didn’t want somebody to have to download a gigabyte, or 500 megabytes for a show.

So now I was able to go back and restore some of them by hand. Some of them I just had laying around. But I was able to restore a lot of these shows into high quality versions. All of the interviews are now included in the highest version that I have. So it’s really cool. I mean, it is literally the retro gaming radio definitive edition. And it all comes packed on a 64 gigabyte flash drive. So I don’t care if you’re a Linux user. There’s nothing well There are things on there that will only run like on Windows XP, because of the age, there are things on there that require Shockwave Flash, which you’re going to have to run on Windows XP or something older that doesn’t have shockwave removed. So there’s a, there’s a handful of content on there that is locked to an operating system or to an era gone by. But for the most part, whether your Mac Linux windows, if you want to plug it into your damn phone, it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. Because it is all it’s on an exFAT, formatted 64 gigabyte flash drive. It’s all neatly organized. It’s not like the year disks where you have to go digging around if you want to find anything fun. It’s all there black and white. E pluribus ellipses addendum, it’s all there. And it is available right now. We’re going to be shipping in the next probably within the next week. There’s some bonus content that I want to put on there that I haven’t quite got done yet. And other than that, it’s done. I mean, the collection is done. What’s not done are a couple of new pieces, because people like is there gonna be anything new retrospective at them. So yeah, we’re gonna have something new on there. So I want to get to something new on there before I ship.

But otherwise, I mean, I got, it’s ready to go. It’s not like Kickstarter, where I’m thinking about it, please give me money. And maybe I’ll do it. And then and then it’s done. If for whatever reason, I can’t get this new content together by February 1, which I don’t think it’ll be a problem. If I can’t get this new content together, then I will ship them as is. And I will make the bonus content available through a digital download after the fact I don’t want to do that, because that’s CD. But I would I’m also going to ship on time. So I said I would start taking orders on the 15th of January, I started shipping the first of February and that is what I will provide. So that is it, you can now get retro gaming radio Definitive Edition. Finally, finally, I put the close the coffin lid on retro gaming radio.

So if you go to retro gaming radio.com There is a nice link that’ll take you talk to you all about what the what this Definitive Edition is, and give you an opportunity to order it.

Depending on where you’re from, right, I’m charging shipping at a flat rate. I went to the post office I said give me the give me a domestic price here there. Give me an international price Australia, Germany, UK, Sweden, all the places that I have fans give me the average, right, so everybody’s paying an average amount of postage. On top of that. It’s 50 bucks $50 for the entire lifecycle of past pastors of retro gaming radio. I think that’s a bonus. It’s a deal. I took a little informal poll on Twitter. And they basically said that was the price range that they’d be willing to pay. And listen. I’m not here to get rich. I’ve never been I’ve never Richard mean radio has never been about being wealthy. If there was I would have been running ads throughout the heyday of retro gaming radio, I would have had paid sponsorship from manscape and, and Nord VPN. You know, I’d be on YouTube monetizing and living shit out of that stuff. But that’s not me. Yeah, I’m monetized now, because somebody smacked me around and said, dude, YouTube’s making money off you whether you’re making money off of them or not, so why not monetize? And it’s like, that makes good sense to me. But you know, if you go to beat Sabre quest calm or any of these other things that I do, I don’t have ads. I’m not begging for money. If you want to donate something for the app that I’ve got for beat Sabre, or for you know, custom songs, great, but I’m not. That’s not what I’m in it for. I’m here to help my fellow man as I always have since 1998. So it’s, uh, it really is lit. Listen, I’m making some bucks on this. I mean, I’m not it’s not a poverty case here. I’m making some money.

But this is it. This is the last money I’ll ever make on retro gaming radio. It’s over. It’s over Johnny. It’s over.

So there that’s my final plug. And I have got to get out of here and get to work. I got two minutes to dry myself off and login. I hope you enjoyed the show. I have tons more crap to talk about that I didn’t get to. But a lot of you wanted to a lot of you got wind that I got COVID You guys wanted the story I understand. So now you’re caught up with the exception of my fluff crap, which is talking about the new god of war on PC dying like TOS coming out and I talked a little bit about that. I want to talk about Microsoft buying Activision. I got a ton of stuff to talk about, but it’s gonna have to wait. We must I could talk about the men’s fashions all day but I’m afraid work must come first. So I’m going to get out of here. Hope you enjoyed the show. This is Shane R Monroe passenger car radio. We’ll see you next time. Take care everybody.
