I want people to come for... the video game content, but they stay for, like, me." – Scott the Woz (89:09) "I just wanted to make weekly videos, but I also wanted to make sure this falls in line as, 'this is episode one, this is episode two'... Just liked the idea of making a DVD box set." – Scott the Woz (91:24)

---

• Eddie reminisces about the magic of StreetPass on Nintendo 3DS in NYC, forming fleeting anonymous connections:

• Explains the difference between licensing deals and selling out.

---

12. The Bidet Debate (75:01–83:57)

• An elaborate, often hyperbolic comparison of their various home bidets.
• Scott details his pre-installed “cold water” bidets at his Ohio house; Eddie recounts his luxury, remote-controlled seat gifted by Ludwig, with heating, pressure profiles, scents, and fans:

  "Mine is a little nippy, mine's a little cold. But that's important, you know, it's like taking a cold shower... wakes you up." – Scott the Woz (79:38) "I'll wake up, and to calm my nerves, I'll go into the bathroom... The seat rises, presented to me is a warm, preheated toilet bowl that I lay my cheeks down on..." – Eddie Burback (81:18)

---

13. Gaming Fandom, Anticipated Games, and Nintendo Life (59:10–67:06)

• Scott’s most anticipated upcoming game is the Breath of the Wild sequel, but feels “lame” for saying so:

  "Most anticipated game is a pretty lame answer... But I'd say the sequel to Breath of the Wild." – Scott the Woz (61:53)

• Conversations about Soulsborne games, Elden Ring, and using Animal Crossing music for YouTube.

---

14. Signature Chuckle Sandwich Questions (98:19–104:51)

• The signature “Would you rather: Unlimited bacon but no games, or unlimited games but no games?” question.

• Scott insists on unlimited games, despite the obvious catch (“no games”), content to see what would happen:

  "I'd still take unlimited games... I'm down to see the problem at hand there." – Scott the Woz (104:29)

• Sandwich Role: Scott selects being "the toothpick" or "the chives" in the Chuckle Sandwich analogy:

  "Maybe the toothpick. Maybe the toothpick in the middle." – Scott the Woz (102:22)

Final Thoughts

Scott the Woz reveals himself as a relatable, self-aware, pleasantly awkward true original in the world of gaming YouTubers. While Scott’s content may be about games, the real subject here is finding joy in one’s own oddities—whether it’s curating a shelf of dollar-bin Game Boy carts, savoring Culver’s cheese curds, or opting to live in Ohio for the people you love, not the “scene.” A great listen for anyone craving earnest, unfiltered talk among creative, thoroughly weird internet minds.

[Scott the Woz]

Terms apply.

[Eddie Burback]

I want to get this out there. I worked the worst job on the planet. I worked at an IT center in, in college. And I would, I would. Oh my God.

[Ted Nivison]

Was that actually. Was that thunder?

[Eddie Burback]

That's thunder.

[Ted Nivison]

Holy shit.

[Eddie Burback]

I gotta continue because I think my time is running out already. I worked at his call center and I would just pick up the phone every now and then. It would be a professor around campus with a problem with the computer. Right. And. And oftentimes it was turn off the computer, turn back on the computer. I found your videos while working that job and those got me through the 30 hours a week I would work in between being a full time student at this college and it was probably mid 2018 when I found your videos and they were just. I don't know, man, it's just so cool to have you here because you're one of the few YouTubers that I've consistently watched for like almost half a decade now. It's crazy.

[Scott the Woz]

Well, thank you so much. It's weird to think that's half a decade ago is just 20, 2018 or so. Yeah, that stuff does not feel like long ago. And like, I don't know, I always feel perpetually like. Like I think I am like a couple years older than you. It does not feel like it. I still feel like I'm a. I'm a little 17 year old twerp or something like that. And I don't know, it's really weird, but it's. It's crazy to see you, both of you, like just grow so much over the years.

[Ted Nivison]

I didn't even know I was aware of you. For a while. Scott the Woz, who is the guest on today's episode of the Chuck Sandwich podcast. We should also say welcome.

[Eddie Burback]

I just realized. I realized I made the first, like, minute about myself. This is. That was so uncalled for. I'm so sorry.

[Ted Nivison]

You just kind of started blubbering like an idiot. You've actually really embarrassed yourself.

[Eddie Burback]

I did. I embarrassed myself. Scott's gonna walk now.

[Scott the Woz]

The only main thing I need to say to Ted is I was very.

[Ted Nivison]

And then you're done. You won't say anything.

[Scott the Woz]

I was very disappointed that there was barely any talk about the Auburn Hills Rainforest Cafe that you visited.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, I at least included it in my. In my, like. Yeah, you know, Eddie brushed over that.

[Scott the Woz]

That's my Rainforest Cafe, though. That is really.

[Ted Nivison]

Rainforest Cafe, Auburn Hills, Michigan.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. As in. Well, I'm. I'm an Ohio boy. I'm one of those little, Little Ohio. Ohio creeps.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

And I. Yeah. Whenever, whenever, whenever you get the hankering, like, that's like a good, like, two hour drive. It's wor. It's really worth it.

[Ted Nivison]

There used to be one closer to you.

[Scott the Woz]

No. Well, maybe, but that. That's the one I always go to and always means that's. It's. It's not a singular experience.

[Ted Nivison]

I gotta go one, though. I will, you know, if it makes you feel better, I'll say some nice things about the Auburn Hills Rainforest Cafe. They had a set of two gorillas in that one. Two animatronic gorillas in that one that had, like, long hair, like they were rock stars. And when they. And when the thunderstorms come, those guys were rocking. That's all I got to say about Auburn Hills. It's a rocking guerrilla good time over there.

[Scott the Woz]

Well, let's. Let's. Let's be honest. All right. The mall. The mall itself. That's pretty. That's a pretty banging mall. They got. They got some stuff there.

[Ted Nivison]

It looked good. I mean, you know, we were on a schedule. So it was basically. Most malls that we went to was like, go in directly at the entrance that the Rainforest Cafe is the closest to, and then directly leave to continue. But it seemed like a pretty nice mall. Worst mall we went to was in Edison, New Jersey. Surprise, surprise. I'm sure you're not surprised about the New Jersey moment.

[Eddie Burback]

No, it. Does everybody want.

[Scott the Woz]

Everybody knows about the Edison, New Jersey mall. I don't even think we have to talk about it. Yeah, it's common knowledge. It's just like, taxes suck, don't they? Everybody. The Edison, New Jersey, mall. That's horrible, I think. I don't know. But, I mean, overall, you say you're from California. I feel like you got more stuff going on than we do down over here in.

[Ted Nivison]

I'm actually from Massachusetts.

[Scott the Woz]

Massachusetts. So you, you understand. You understand the glory of driving two hours to a Rainforest Cafe? And that's your. That's your night.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, exactly. I, I do have a question for you, though, because, you know, there's a set of questions that we. We've actually prepared some questions. And, yeah, we don't normally do this for guests. You know, usually we bring them on there just to fill the dead air. But we've got you here today. And, you know, Schlatt's a. You know, I'm gonna be honest with you here. Scott Schlatt is pissing himself. No, he's pit. I just need to be honest here because he's pissing himself. He's pissing himself. He, you know, he didn't want you to say this, but he's wearing a diaper right now.

[Scott the Woz]

I can, I can start pissing myself if it'll make it feel any better.

[Ted Nivison]

I mean, that would be really kind of you, if you want. All right, well, now it's smelly.

[Scott the Woz]

We already. We already did. Yeah, we already did. The sink. Sink clap. You gotta do the sink piss, too.

[Ted Nivison]

Piss.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

But I, I. My buddy Tucker, who's also the guy that runs the highlights channel for the Chuckle Sandwich podcast, Respect. Salute to Tucker. He actually formulated a couple questions that he had because he's been watching for a very long time, but he has a specific to Ohio question. Since we were talking about Ohio, which is, what is your skyline order?

[Scott the Woz]

I've never been to Skyline.

[Ted Nivison]

I had a feeling that that would be the response.

[Scott the Woz]

I bought the frozen variety of, like, the Skyline chili you can get in the, you know, at the grocery store, and it just sat in my freezer for a couple years. So that's. That's the most skyline experience I've had. Listen, I'm in northwest Ohio, Okay? That's. That's. That's a completely separate entity. That's a completely separate entity from normal Ohio because there's even less stuff going on.

[Ted Nivison]

Follow up then. Yeah, follow up then. General Midwest, fast food kind of place, perhaps, because I looked this up beforehand and I determined that there are some in the area of Ohio. And. Have you ever been to Culver's before?

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, I've. I've been to Culver's.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay. Okay, that's good.

[Scott the Woz]

I'm a. I am a butter burger.

[Ted Nivison]

Butter burgers, as in.

[Scott the Woz]

Well, I mean, that's usually not what I get there, but they're. They got. They got some good custard, as in frozen custard. That's good.

[Eddie Burback]

I've heard good things.

[Scott the Woz]

That's good. If I. If I have a choice between, like, ice cream and frozen custard, it's frozen custard. It's just. It's just unique. It's. I like that about it.

[Ted Nivison]

It's good on the tongue. It's good on the soul, too. I think Schlad and I actually accidentally made custard at one point. I think all that ice cream that Schlatt and I made in a video once, I think it actually was custard.

[Eddie Burback]

Custard. Ted, I could tell from the mouth feel, you know, when something goes in your mouth and you're immediately like, yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Scott, what was that?

[Eddie Burback]

No, no, it's fine. No, we'll move on from that. And also.

[Scott the Woz]

No, no, no, no, no. I don't want to ignore the tongue question. Feel.

[Eddie Burback]

I mean, it's totally.

[Ted Nivison]

We want to know about your.

[Eddie Burback]

Totally. Just get past it, man. We could totally just.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, no, this is what the people want to hear.

[Eddie Burback]

There's. There's a. There's just ways to, like, you know, how you can look at something and be like, yeah, I know what that feels like on my tongue.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. So, like, that. That's like. Like the question. What was the. What was the qu. Like to custard?

[Eddie Burback]

It was just a rhetorical.

[Scott the Woz]

Okay.

[Eddie Burback]

Comment on. On the mouth feel custard has when hitting. Hitting that tongue of yours.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm a good conversationalist. I got. I can talk about a lot of things I can talk about.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

And tongues.

[Ted Nivison]

What's your favorite thing to talk about?

[Scott the Woz]

Custard and tongues. That's about it.

[Ted Nivison]

Well.

[Scott the Woz]

It usually goes custard tongues and then. Etc.

[Ted Nivison]

What's your number one texture then? If you were to choose a texture of food that feels the best on your mouth, like, what would that be every.

[Scott the Woz]

Grapes.

[Eddie Burback]

No.

[Ted Nivison]

Are we talking green grapes right now?

[Scott the Woz]

How about the cotton candy grapes? Those are like, as in. As in, like. Oh, man, that might be a Midwestern thing. You never know. I don't know. I've never really been outside of the Midwest of the.

[Ted Nivison]

I know about the cotton candy grapes, but, like, I don't know if I've ever had them. I think that they've been around, but as far as I know, a crisp green grape about the size of a testicle. Good grape.

[Scott the Woz]

All right, all right.

[Eddie Burback]

I have to open my Internet browser to see what.

[Scott the Woz]

I'll do it too. I'll do it, too. So then you know what's going on. We're pissing together. We're opening programs together. It's basically just a grape.

[Ted Nivison]

I don't know what.

[Eddie Burback]

I don't know what a cotton candy grape is. I thought it was a compressed thing of cotton candy for a second.

[Scott the Woz]

It's just a slightly sweeter grape.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, you thought. You thought that favorite mouthfeel was taking a bunch of cotton candy, compressing it into the shape of a grape. And that was his specific.

[Eddie Burback]

Do I look like I eat fruit?

[Ted Nivison]

You know, honestly, no.

[Eddie Burback]

There you go, man.

[Scott the Woz]

There you go.

[Ted Nivison]

But I don't either, so it's. It's okay. So crisp, crisp cotton candy grape. That's number one mouthfeel.

[Scott the Woz]

Good texture. Good texture on that. You can kind of play around with it in your mouth for a little bit. And it's just. It's a different. It's like. I don't know, it's something where when you bite down on it, you're kind of expecting, like, ah, this is gonna taste like a Roma tomato. And it doesn't.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, it's better. And nobody wants a Roma tomato. Onion.

[Scott the Woz]

No, I'm not. I'm not a fan of the Roma tomatoes. Like, whenever you see those in, like, a salad or something that just. Yeah, no, there's too big. It's too big.

[Ted Nivison]

It's just like, imagine this in your head and see if it makes you cringe or not. Biting a tomato like an apple.

[Scott the Woz]

I've. I've. I've heard of those people. I've heard of those people. I've never seen.

[Ted Nivison]

There's a specific brand of person that does it. Oh, I didn't know that.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, there are people. There are people out there.

[Ted Nivison]

The only time I've ever seen that happen. I've seen it in media before in movies when I was a child, and I was utterly confused by it in the specific movie. Reign of Fire. Have you ever seen this movie? It's a very niche movie, but it's about dragons taking over the world, the apocalypse. But because dragons were found in a hole, I've.

[Scott the Woz]

I have seen a clip from that movie. Really? Back in high school, when we would take, like, multimedia classes. One of our projects, an old movie, one of our projects, was to take, like, they would assign us, like, clips of movies without audio, and we would have to, like, create our own sound Effects for them. So.

[Ted Nivison]

So were you given the tomato?

[Scott the Woz]

I was assigned Rain of Fire, but I did not get close to the mic.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah, he went.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, he went. I did not. I did not get that in the movie. Were they. Were the other characters kind of looking at the guy that ate the tomato like that, with a little bit of, like, a what are you doing? Kind of face?

[Ted Nivison]

I would have expected normally, but it was, like, the beginning. One of the beginning scenes where it was, like, a bunch of peasants running along into a field, and they, like, found this field of tomatoes and they were biting into it. I think it was, like, meant to represent how fucking hungry they were, because nobody does that normally.

[Scott the Woz]

I love. I love artistic interpretations of scenes. I think you nailed it.

[Ted Nivison]

Thank you.

[Scott the Woz]

Thank you.

[Ted Nivison]

I think it was because of how hungry they were.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. I think that's what the filmmakers were going for.

[Ted Nivison]

Like, the director with his beret on, he's like, all right, we're going to do this, and we're going to show them how fucking hungry they are. Tomato.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

So, Scott.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

You're in Ohio, but what I really think. And I. I could be wrong, right. But I have a knack for, you know, really understanding how people operate. And I think that you don't really belong in Ohio. I think. I think Los Angeles.

[Scott the Woz]

I was going to say Michigan is slightly.

[Eddie Burback]

No, no, no, man. I think. I think you'd be right at home in Los Angeles.

[Scott the Woz]

Like. Like just my vibe, like, isn't like, how I. Yeah, I know.

[Eddie Burback]

You could tell, like, Ted is. Is a very LA guy.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. He has, like, a plant back there.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

I'm suspicious of where this is going, based on Schlatt's history with. Talking about Los Angeles on this guy.

[Eddie Burback]

I just want to know. I just want to know. Scott, could you see yourself in L. A? Is there something that's keeping you in Ohio is that you were born there, I assume.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, born and raised. Uh, you know, we got. We got a. We got a decent amount of, like, Burger Kings down the road. There's a. There's a lot of fields of corn. That's kind of the main thing that people growing up here is like, there's nothing to do here. All we have are fields of corn.

[Ted Nivison]

And, you know, and cows.

[Scott the Woz]

It's true. That is true. There are some other animals. Rats, Squirrels. Rats.

[Ted Nivison]

You guys got rats over there?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

How big are these rats?

[Scott the Woz]

I've never seen one. Personally, I've heard. I've heard.

[Ted Nivison]

Heard them.

[Eddie Burback]

The legends.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I've heard of them, but you Know back, back when I would live at like my parents house, you know, as a, as a kid, you know, I, I've seen a mouse or two. I've never been a big mice guy. I mean, like, okay, not, not, not that I'm not a fan of mice. I'm not a fan of dead mice. Just not, not super into them.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

Like, like when they.

[Ted Nivison]

Less they can do when they're dead too.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

A lot less fun to have.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. So it's just like, you know, if you have a dead mouse, it's not that feeling of like, oh, I'm going to turn this mouse into a star that you get with like a live mice or something.

[Ted Nivison]

Right. Or you're going to like get it on Broadway or something. Dead mouse can't do that.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. I can't teach you tricks or anything. I just don't like how they die. You know, with the regular trap. I don't like their whole skull gets crushed and it's just never, never.

[Eddie Burback]

It is a bit overplayed, you know. Like I feel like I've seen it thousands of times at this point from all the videos on YouTube. Scroll through.

[Scott the Woz]

You watch the mousetrap reviews too?

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah, I watch playlists of them actually.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, I follow whole ass channels dedicated to really mousetrap reviews.

[Eddie Burback]

Is there like one that, I mean, would you prefer one that clamps down very quickly and ends the life abruptly or is it more of like a slow painful thing?

[Scott the Woz]

There's some high tech mousetraps out there. There are some high tech, like heavy duty stuff where it's just like. Well, there is one, there is an old school where they hook up like, like a trigger to like a pistol, like a gun.

[Ted Nivison]

And it's just like one of those traps in Fallout.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. Mouse takes the cheese, you know, takes the, you know, with a pistol just shoots the, shoots the mouse in the head and you know. But I think those were outlawed because there's a chance since the mouse is very small that the bullet would miss or it would maybe, you know, trigger with any other animal or maybe if your foot accidentally like, you know, like hit the, hit the cheese. But there's, there's the drowning traps too where you have a bucket and like, you know, if a rat. Because rats are hard to trap, apparently they're too smart. They can't, they don't fall for that stuff. But the drowning ones, the glue traps, you don't really want to do those.

[Eddie Burback]

Those are so lame. Those are so lame.

[Ted Nivison]

It feels like these, this rat and mouse thing Is like such highly significant problem in Ohio. More so than I would have ever.

[Scott the Woz]

Expected, to be honest. I've never, I've never.

[Ted Nivison]

You know a lot about mousetraps.

[Scott the Woz]

I know a lot about mousetraps from the videos I've seen. I've gone down those rabbit holes where.

[Ted Nivison]

It'S just like it feels like you're going to war with the mouse population over there in Ohio.

[Scott the Woz]

I mean, I assume, I assume I started watching those videos because I knew of my inherent fear of dead mice. Like, I just thought they were gross. So I'm like, oh, I just watched these videos with a bunch of dead mice in them and maybe, yeah, let's.

[Ted Nivison]

Make more of them.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, don't really think it help helped much, but yeah, it's one of those things like go down that rabbit hole. Went down like the, the, you know, like the, the Chris Hansen rabbit hole of just watching like all the videos with like, you know, catching, catching the catch. Catching all the bad, bad people out there and that just, you know, you just, you get. Those are like my two main YouTube knowledges at this point. It's like all.

[Eddie Burback]

It sounds like there's not much to do in Ohio and that's the reason why you fall down these often, you know, concerning strange and disturbing rabbit holes on YouTube. But like, do you like it? Are you. Do you feel like anchored there? Because I feel like for YouTubers in general, you know, a lot of it comes down to collaborating and wanting to be in, I guess more so like an environment where you have those people around you that not even just making videos with, but just who kind of get it, you know. That's why I moved from, from New York. And it's kind of weird that no one in New York really does it, but I moved from New York to, to Austin. Ted was in New York for a bit for college. He moved to la. So like, what's keeping you in Ohio?

[Scott the Woz]

You know, it's mainly like a family and friends kind of thing. You know, I don't, I don't really associate myself with like too much of like a general community on YouTube. Like, there's not like a. Oh, that's Scott. And he obviously comes with this person and this person and all that. So it's just like I don't have like a core. Like, oh, like this is, this is Scott's group kind of thing online. My group is, is, you know, more so like, you know, my, my friends and family. So it's kind of like if I would move, I feel like I would Be incredibly lonely. Like where. If I moved outside of Ohio, so I wouldn't be opposed to moving like in the future. But it would kind of have to be like, I would have to kind of like make a, make a pact with like some, some people around me where it's just like, hey, do you guys want to move to, you know, Wisconsin?

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, like a, like a general move.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

With a group of people.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I can see that because like, you know, like I said, I don't really have a big like, you know, like, oh, communal group online that I, that I really like. I'm. I'm always talking with or I'm always associated with. So. Yeah, it's kind of. It's kind of.

[Ted Nivison]

You're sort of a lone wolf.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, it's kind of just based on the roots. Just having roots in Ohio. That's why I'm kind of kind of staying here.

[Eddie Burback]

So is there a reason you'd say that you don't tend to, you know, work with a lot of other people on YouTube or anything?

[Ted Nivison]

You just fucking hate everyone.

[Eddie Burback]

I mean, because you're not on Twitter much. I've been replying to you for years, you know, with, with so little back from you. Like, it feels very one way sometimes with us.

[Scott the Woz]

One sided relationship. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Looking for something? More romance?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. It's mainly, I don't know, it's not that I dislike people. It's more so like I just kind of keep my head down because like I feel like I've just gone into like a work groove where like I know how to make my stuff. And like, it's really hard to explain to like other people. Like, oh, this is how I do it. And like I can. But I don't know, I've just always kind of felt. I've always been like an only child. So I think I'm just used to just being like just doing stuff by myself. So it makes it a lot harder to just talk. Like, I don't know, I do kind of like, like not tweeting much because then it makes like when I do tweet more of like a kind of like, oh, well that's special.

[Eddie Burback]

That's.

[Ted Nivison]

That's fair. That's. That's sort of Schlatt's strategy too. You don't sweet very much slap.

[Eddie Burback]

No, I don't. I don't. Half of that though is because I worry about how many likes the tweet will get.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

Do you worry about like, Scott?

[Scott the Woz]

It's, it's such a minute thing it's something that, you know, I'm aware of. Well, it's something that I'm aware of, but it's also like. It's something where it's just like, you shouldn't care about it, but sometimes you do, and it's just. It's kind of like this back and forth word. Just like, you shouldn't. You shouldn't care about something as silly as that. But it does. It does kill your head.

[Eddie Burback]

My tweets get so many likes.

[Scott the Woz]

I can piss myself again if you want. Makes you feel better.

[Eddie Burback]

No, I get it. It's a. It's a. I. I'd say the way you do it is definitely a little healthier. Like, I feel like you're. You're in this for the long run, and I'm going to fizzle out and die in a couple years.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, no. Like, I.

[Eddie Burback]

Well, I have a shotgun trap. Okay, okay.

[Ted Nivison]

For the rats or the Texas rats.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

It was. It was like, almost like I watched those videos, too, with the pistol rat trap, and I was like, how can I improve this? And so I set up a shotgun trap.

[Scott the Woz]

Okay. Yeah, that's definitely. That's definitely an upgrade. I was a way.

[Eddie Burback]

You have to knock on the door every time to disarm it.

[Ted Nivison]

Right.

[Eddie Burback]

There's a certain pattern you have to hit. Unless the shotgun trap will. Will go off when you open the door. Or you can just.

[Ted Nivison]

You can just hook up a heartbeat sensor from Modern Warfare 2 under there and just. You know, it stops when the heartbeat stops beating.

[Eddie Burback]

I didn't think of that.

[Scott the Woz]

Think. Do you think if you had a shotgun on you right now and one mouse in your room, could you. Could you get it?

[Eddie Burback]

Could I get it? No. I think mice are very. I think mice are very quick. I don't think I'd be able to get them.

[Scott the Woz]

Come on, have more.

[Ted Nivison]

Have more faith. Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

More faith in yourself. I don't know.

[Eddie Burback]

I don't know. I mean, it depends how far away he is. If he's a foot away from me, he's going to be too quick. He's. There's a lot to go. But if you got the buckshot, you can aim kind of in the general vicinity. And some of the. Some of the shot will get him. You know, that's the point of shotgun trap. It's. It's on the ceiling. It's on the ceiling pointing down so that you get a nice spread.

[Ted Nivison]

Are you getting mad? Why are you getting, like, frustrated with Scott?

[Scott the Woz]

I came onto this podcast thinking it was going to Be a nice, positive environment. And instead I'm just hearing all these negativity about kill a mouse with a shotgun if I tried.

[Ted Nivison]

I'm sorry, Scott. Let me, let me bring things back on. Let me, let me bring things back on board here. I mean, you were talking about how, you know, it sounds like you own most of the process of like, how your videos come together. Like, how long does it take for you to make a video? Kind of like from the. Oh, I. Here's my idea to like, when you kind of have it ready to rock.

[Scott the Woz]

It's. It's tricky. I've. I've slowed down this year quite a bit, mainly because I, I started the current channel that I have in, in the way it is, is in like early 2017. And I kind of started with the mentality of like, I'm gonna make a video every single week, even if it kills me. And I did that. And there were times where I would just start a video on like Friday and it would, it would pop up on like Sunday where I'm just like, oh, yeah, I'm just gonna work on this this weekend. And boom, it's done. And the videos just kept getting longer and longer and longer and more complex. And I'd usually start on like Wednesday and then end on Sunday. So like, roughly kind of like a five day work week. And then I'd have like Monday and Tuesday off. But now I'm just kind of doing them as like, I, like at the pace I can because I'm, I'm juggling like a lot in terms of stuff. I do like a merchandise event every, every, at the end of every year for charity. So, you know, it's kind of like juggling a lot of stuff with that of like, you know, approving stuff and sending sketches to artists and all of that. And then there's, you know, a bunch of other things where, you know, I, I want to get like scripts done ahead of time and record those, and I have those in the back burner. So right now I'm kind of in a weird space of trying to figure out a productive schedule because right now it's kind of like I'm just making stuff and when they get done, they get done. And that makes me very happy with the product in the end, but I'm not happy with the quantity. And I, I kind of feel like, you know, I'm kind of flip flopping where in previous years I was like, oh, I'm putting out a bunch of stuff, but when I put it out, I feel like Ah, you know, like, I could have made that a little better or, you know what, What? Not now. I feel pretty good about the products I've been putting out, however. Like, I'm like, I want to get them out. You know, I want to get more of them out and all of that. So it's kind of like a, you know, an inverse of the problem I was having like in previous years.

[Ted Nivison]

It's the endless YouTuber problem. Make more video and be less satisfied or less video, more satisfied, but less. And then it's just, you go back on the other side. It's like, I'm not posting enough or, you know. Yeah, no, I get that 100%. Like, I basically post once a month. I haven't posted a video in a month and a half, actually, which is.

[Scott the Woz]

How does that feel? How does that feel?

[Ted Nivison]

I'm. Oh, I'm literally like losing my mind a little bit.

[Eddie Burback]

It's going to be a 10 out of 10, Ted. When you post it, it's going to be the worst video. You posted in nine other videos.

[Ted Nivison]

I think I earned it a little bit after that Rainforest Cafe thing. That video, the edit for that video absolutely brutalized my soul. Like I was, I was dying over that video.

[Scott the Woz]

I don't know. I don't know about that, man. I would do that for free. I would, I would go to rain.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, the trip, the trip itself was awesome. It was like a great time doing that with Eddie and I had a wonderful, wonderful time. But, you know.

[Scott the Woz]

No, no, I'm, I'm kidding.

[Ted Nivison]

Because I, I.

[Scott the Woz]

Looking at that like that just seemed.

[Ted Nivison]

Like, you know, Scott, I don't think that you are.

[Scott the Woz]

I'm sorry, you are.

[Eddie Burback]

This is the negative podcast.

[Ted Nivison]

The stock comes on here with negativity.

[Scott the Woz]

So I just thought, like, I'm just, I'm going into it with negative thoughts because I think that's how I'm going to get along with you people.

[Eddie Burback]

Sailing, man.

[Ted Nivison]

I got a plan, cuz I live in Los Angeles. It's not a. The laws here are strict.

[Scott the Woz]

Schlatt's over there bragging about the thunder that he's. He's having. Bragging about your we.

[Eddie Burback]

There's no precipitation in this state.

[Scott the Woz]

We.

[Eddie Burback]

I live on the cusp of a desert, Scott.

[Scott the Woz]

Ted, I see, I see you have an open window. You're waiting for us to mention that.

[Eddie Burback]

Like, oh yeah, the Desert Informed Society here. That's a miracle.

[Ted Nivison]

Let me, Let me tell you one thing, Scott. If you're going to move anywhere, do not move to Austin. Because the Area that. Oh, my God. Holy fucking shit. The area that Schlatt lives is the definition of. Of dystopian, late capitalist, like, suburban sprawl. It is the. What is he doing?

[Eddie Burback]

What is he.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, he's pulling out a fake gun.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, man.

[Ted Nivison]

Scott, blur it. Blur it. Blur it, Scott. Oh, we got our editor's also named Scott. I'm sorry, Scott. I wasn't talking directly to you, but, yeah, I was.

[Scott the Woz]

I was scrambling. I want to make sure I was doing the right thing.

[Ted Nivison]

He is insane. It. It is humid in. In Austin all the time. It is miserable. It. There is thunder. I bet if he stepped outside, he would. He would start drowning in the air right now. I bet it is so humid over there right now. Is it. Are you. Am I wrong?

[Eddie Burback]

I step outside, I walk through the door, and I get obliterated by a shotgun. Dra.

[Ted Nivison]

I've got some more questions for you, though, Scott. The Was, or should I say Scott, the Nintendo Whiz.

[Scott the Woz]

Wow. A working title for the.

[Eddie Burback]

That's so. Man.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, that's what my uncle calls me.

[Ted Nivison]

Really? Does he.

[Scott the Woz]

He says that's why I want him to call me.

[Ted Nivison]

It's like asking him, and he's got the Nintendo Whiz. That's what your uncle sounds like, right?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, but, you know, he. He doesn't call me that. I ask him to call me that, but.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, yeah, please, uncle, do the name. Yeah, find your fucking loser. Hey, Scott. The Nintendo is whatever. Your face lights up. So you've got a big video game collection, a lot of physical memorabilia. Some might call. And, you know, in the age of digital, you don't even need that, but you persist. Is that true?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I mean, like, you see it like. Like, I don't, like, I don't really mind going with, like, a digital thing. Like, I'm not. I just. I feel like life is so much more harder when you put these big ass, like, whatever, like, lines in the sand. You're like, no, I'm never getting digital stuff. But, you know, it's kind of like, hey, I like. I like. I like buying the physical games and all that. I like. I think it's fun to collect and all that. You know, also for what I do with videos, you know, it's good to. It's good for shot variety. Get to show it. Show it on the camera. Camera and all that.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. What is. What would you say is your most prized piece in your video game collection?

[Scott the Woz]

I got. I got three pieces right here. All right, let's see.

[Eddie Burback]

We got Prepared.

[Scott the Woz]

Rats. Rats.

[Ted Nivison]

Why do these animals keep coming up on this podcast episode?

[Scott the Woz]

I told you, I heard about rats. I just haven't really, you know, dived into them.

[Ted Nivison]

Rats.

[Scott the Woz]

Okay. Rats for Game Boy color. In the box. In the box. That's pretty. That's pretty good, right? I bet you that one there was. There wasn't a zero percent chance it was. It was up there, but, you know, probably weren't expecting it.

[Ted Nivison]

I wasn't. I wasn't at all. I. Is it. I haven't. Have you done a video on this game? No, I haven't seen this. I should.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, I don't. Well, you know, it's something you asked for. Prize possession. So, you know, I. I don't. You know, it's one of those things you want to keep it to yourself. You don't want.

[Ted Nivison]

You don't want too many people.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

So can you turn into content? It kind of ruins the point.

[Scott the Woz]

Can you. Can your editor blur this? And. They don't even know what I was doing.

[Ted Nivison]

Scott, our editor, please blur that rather than Scott, our beautiful guest.

[Eddie Burback]

Ted, what's your. What's your favorite piece of gaming memorabilia?

[Ted Nivison]

Well, I've got a.

[Eddie Burback]

Take your time, by all means.

[Ted Nivison]

I mean, I've. I've got like a very. Let's. Let me. Let me find something for you here. How about this? Pets, Horses, too.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh.

[Eddie Burback]

That makes sense.

[Scott the Woz]

The third one just went down the hill, so it's good that.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, they shouldn't have made it a trilogy. It's just what they. It. It made his sense as an original and a sequel, but once they hit the trilogy. But, you know, if you ever feel a little equestrian.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. Are you. Are you a big horse fan? Is that. Is that why. That's one of your. Your big ones? Or is it just because of the value of that game? Like, is it rare?

[Ted Nivison]

You know, I'm not as much of a. Here's the thing.

[Eddie Burback]

I know a guy I like.

[Ted Nivison]

Come on. Come on. You beat me to it. I was gonna say, Flat's a pretty big horse fan. You know what he's talking about?

[Eddie Burback]

Scott, we don't have to go into Mr. Hands.

[Scott the Woz]

Dude, some horse talk. I'm down for some horse talk.

[Eddie Burback]

No, no, no.

[Scott the Woz]

Horses. Horses are big these days.

[Eddie Burback]

You.

[Ted Nivison]

Have you ever heard of.

[Eddie Burback]

Oh, they're big.

[Ted Nivison]

You ever been to Unum Claw, Washington?

[Scott the Woz]

I've never. Never in my life. I'm down to talk about if it involves. Involves horses.

[Eddie Burback]

Oh, it involves a horse, all right.

[Ted Nivison]

I just won.

[Eddie Burback]

I. Listen, we're on with Scott, the. We can't. We can't be talking about Mr. Hands. Don't google Mr. Hands, if you're watching this, especially if.

[Ted Nivison]

Don't Google, just don't.

[Eddie Burback]

Don't go to Google and type in Mystery Hands and press Enter.

[Ted Nivison]

All right, I'll say it, Scott. A guy got to guess by the horse.

[Scott the Woz]

I'm looking it up. One sec.

[Ted Nivison]

A guy got to death by a horse.

[Scott the Woz]

Mr. Hands. Death. That's the first. That's the first option that comes up.

[Ted Nivison]

A dude in Union Claw, Washington, got to death by a horse by having multiple occasions where he would, you know, he'd get.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I'm getting. I, I see the Wikipedia article that is just called the Enum.

[Eddie Burback]

Inum Claw Horse Sex case.

[Scott the Woz]

Sex case.

[Eddie Burback]

It doesn't. Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh. So this is. This was a. This was a trial.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah, well, it was a trial. It was trial.

[Ted Nivison]

I mean, in some ways, I suppose you could view it as a trial. A trial of man versus horse.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. I mean, when was this? Oh, man. There's a film about it called Zoo.

[Ted Nivison]

Film about it. I didn't know that.

[Eddie Burback]

Be on that Wikipedia page.

[Ted Nivison]

Really?

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah. Under the trivia section.

[Ted Nivison]

Yes.

[Scott the Woz]

I feel like. I feel like it's weird to have, like, a Wikipedia page about, like, a death and have a section called trivia. Fun facts.

[Ted Nivison]

Fun facts about this person's death. This man, Jay Schlatt, that makes videos.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah. Frequently laughs at the fact that this man's colon was destroyed by Stallion. So he was also a Boeing engineer. That's another funny bit of trivia.

[Ted Nivison]

You know, I'm on the Rainforest Cafe Wikipedia page.

[Eddie Burback]

Are you on it?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, in popular culture.

[Eddie Burback]

Wow.

[Ted Nivison]

In 2022, YouTubers Eddie Burbeck and Ted Nivison visited Nate at every Rainforest Cafe location, North America, which was chronicled in two videos that went viral.

[Scott the Woz]

Man. Dude, man. The Rainforest Cafe Wikipedia page just isn't as big as I want it to be. Yeah. You know, stuff, you know, there does.

[Ted Nivison]

There does. Like, for instance, like how the creator of the Rainforest Cafe made it originally in his house, and the, like, FDA came to his doorstep because they. He was using so much power to. To run this establishment that they thought he was making drugs.

[Scott the Woz]

I, I. Wow, that is. That's impressive. So he had animatronic animals in his house?

[Ted Nivison]

No, he had real animals.

[Scott the Woz]

Okay.

[Ted Nivison]

He started off with real animals. Like, they had monkeys and birds and stuff in the original Rainforest Cafe cage, but it was just all the lights and all the sounds that they had pumping into this guy's house.

[Scott the Woz]

You don't need. You don't. You don't need like fake sounds. If you have real animals, they'll make all the sounds in the world for you.

[Eddie Burback]

The animatronics get a little quirky at night at the Rainforest Cafe. Hey listen, I got, I got a couple of pieces of my favorite gaming culture and media. You ready? 3, 2, 1.

[Scott the Woz]

Whoa.

[Eddie Burback]

Nintendo Land for the Wii U, baby. Dude, I was the king of my, of my travel baseball team like 10 years ago because I used to take the Wii U with me to every tournament we used to go to. We plug it into the hotel room and we boot up Nintendo Land and we play Mario Chase.

[Scott the Woz]

I was, I was gonna ask, were you one of those people that, that played with the Wii U portably? You plug it in somewhere and then, and then you could use it on the, on the controller.

[Eddie Burback]

We hook it up to the hotel tv. Oh my God. This game was actually one of two games I owned for the Wii U. The other one was Mario Kart 8. And that was really all you needed. You had the single player multiplayer action. It was, it was perfect.

[Scott the Woz]

It's a, it's a good at. When was the last time you played that? I could probably. I might, I might have beaten you to that. I played that within the past two weeks.

[Eddie Burback]

You really, you played Nintendo Land in the past weeks?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I got like, I can't play games for, for, for pleasure anymore.

[Eddie Burback]

I gotta be always.

[Scott the Woz]

It's always just whatever I need footage of.

[Eddie Burback]

Must have been like years and years and years. I remember playing it with my family pretty. I mean, probably a couple years ago. That was the last memory I have of it. Good, good games though.

[Scott the Woz]

It was.

[Eddie Burback]

They had the Zelda one that you, you had to like get the guys with, you know, and then one person was there with the sword.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, you know, that's, that's an apt description. There's. There's the octopus dancing one.

[Eddie Burback]

I didn't play that one.

[Ted Nivison]

I never played this game. So I'm just trying to like.

[Eddie Burback]

The visuals are, dude, Luigi's ghost mansion. That was the fucking game mode in Nintendo Land. Dude. That was the best one. Animal Crossing. Sweet day.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, Me and four other people played that one recently. That may be our new favorite back in the day was Mario Chase, which is basically just tag. That was pretty good. But you know, now we're. Our tastes are refined a little bit, you know. You know. Yeah. Refine the taste. Like, you know, we talk with tongues. So it's just like, it's all coming full circle. And now. Now we're kind of into the. The Animal Crossing mini game. It's a little more complicated.

[Eddie Burback]

Good games. Pendoland is actually slept on. Actually slept on. I got a couple more pieces, though. How about this one, Scott? Boom.

[Scott the Woz]

Boom blocks. That's good. Steven Spielberg production. The Steven Spielberg game.

[Eddie Burback]

Watch this. Ready? Boom. Two of them. This one I stole from Game Grump's office. You can see. Look. You can see pre Hugato.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I. That. That is. That is evidence.

[Ted Nivison]

Not know. Yeah. Schlatt. We went to the. When we did our first Chuckle Week, where we do stuff in person for episodes, we did it at the Game Grumps office. And Schlatt just, like, looked at their big wall of games they have there outside their recording studio, and he was, like, salivating. That was. We kept slipping on the floor from all the spit.

[Eddie Burback]

Boom blocks. It was boom blocks, but I know I had to have boom blocks. They're very cool. They let me take it even though I already had a copy.

[Ted Nivison]

So I've got some.

[Eddie Burback]

I got one more. I got one more thing. Oh, I had a whole collection.

[Ted Nivison]

I didn't realize. Okay, I'm sorry.

[Scott the Woz]

I got. I got. I got a couple other things randomly. We can. We can. We can compare. We can compare.

[Eddie Burback]

All right.

[Scott the Woz]

Here.

[Eddie Burback]

Fine.

[Scott the Woz]

What do you got? This.

[Eddie Burback]

Lift it up on three. Ready? Three, two, wait. Lift it up on. Go.

[Scott the Woz]

All right.

[Eddie Burback]

Three, three, two, one, go. Oh, you got Mr. Bones. Three deciseconds.

[Scott the Woz]

I got Mr. Bones.

[Eddie Burback]

You got Mr. He's got Mr. Bones.

[Ted Nivison]

Skeleton with a guitar for the Sega Saturn.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, guitar. I. I don't know anything about this game. I think it was kind of expensive, but I had to get it on ebay because it was. It was called Mr. Bones. And I thought that was funny.

[Eddie Burback]

That's fucking awesome.

[Scott the Woz]

I'm mainly. I'm mainly buying stuff these days. Just what I think looks funny. Wild Woody.

[Ted Nivison]

Wild Woody.

[Eddie Burback]

Oh, my God.

[Ted Nivison]

Do you even have the consoles to play these games on?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, yeah, I could if I wanted to. I'm just waiting for the right moment, you know?

[Ted Nivison]

But you don't. You don't. Out of principle, I don't wanna.

[Scott the Woz]

I don't wanna, you know, bite off more than I can chew right now, you know?

[Ted Nivison]

Right.

[Scott the Woz]

I can't, you know, so I just. I just.

[Ted Nivison]

Especially when you're dealing with Mr. Woody.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

Mr. Woody. Wild Woody and Mr. Bones.

[Scott the Woz]

Mr. Bones is more like, you know, it's pretty interesting because, you know, Mr. Bones has a guitar. I think he's a little wilder.

[Ted Nivison]

He looks like, he knows how to play it, too.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

Guess how he died. It was a shotgun trap.

[Scott the Woz]

There might be.

[Ted Nivison]

Thought it'd be related to the guitar, but it just wasn't.

[Scott the Woz]

It was just.

[Eddie Burback]

That was just a hobby of his before. Before it obliterated him.

[Scott the Woz]

He looks. He looks. I don't know. He looks pretty intact for a shotgun wound. Now, would that. Would that mess up your skeleton?

[Eddie Burback]

It could probably remove a limb. Depends on the type of shot you're using, though. I don't think Flechette or, like, bird shot or anything would do that, would remove a limb.

[Scott the Woz]

If you had. If you had the opportunity to, like, get shot with a shotgun, but, like, you would live and, like, nothing. Nothing would be, like, ruined on your body, but you still experience the pain of a shotgun attack, would you. Would you do it?

[Ted Nivison]

Well, do I get to choose where.

[Eddie Burback]

The kind of question is that you said, you said.

[Scott the Woz]

You said. You said.

[Eddie Burback]

I get.

[Scott the Woz]

You asked. You asked me. You asked me. Hey. Hey. Do you want to go on my podcast and talk about gaming and hypotheticals? So I brought up gaming and hypotheticals. So would you. You're not going to die.

[Ted Nivison]

Is that how he pitched it? Yeah, he pitched it to you. He said gaming and hypotheticals.

[Scott the Woz]

He just. He just. He. It was little. Two sentences. It was sweet.

[Ted Nivison]

I would actually. Yeah. I'd like to know how this. How this happened, because, I mean, you've been avoiding Schlatt like the plague up until now is what I've been. Been gathering from this podcast thus far.

[Scott the Woz]

I was cleaning my basement, and I got a notification on my phone. That's usually. It's like. I don't know, like, I feel like you're expecting, like, there's like, a big, like, this master. Master table of, like, all these. All these people working on, like, one of them. I was. I was eating cereal, man. Like, I was just like. I was just like.

[Ted Nivison]

You were like, what? You were like, cracking the whip. Sweatshop.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. I'm like, oh, yeah, notification. Okay. Why not? But would you get shot? Would you want to get shot? Just to explain question.

[Eddie Burback]

If I didn't die.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, you wouldn't die. It wouldn't get.

[Eddie Burback]

Would I retain all my limbs? Like, if I decided, hey, I want to blow off my left shoulder for a minute, would it come back? And I.

[Scott the Woz]

Okay. I'd assume it would be something like, like, how there's, like, those things that, like, you could. You could experience that gives you, like, the feeling of, like. Oh, that's what childbirth would feel like.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, like one of those little 10 tens units on your. You put on your arms.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. But instead it would be like. Like the. The. The feeling of a shotgun obliterating your limb.

[Eddie Burback]

Yes, I would do it.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. So you get the pain, but do.

[Ted Nivison]

I get to choose where?

[Scott the Woz]

I mean, like, is there a place where you wouldn't want to do it?

[Ted Nivison]

I don't know. My testicles. My, My, my.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, I thought you were talking setting. Like. Like, if you would want to do it, like, in.

[Eddie Burback]

In like, a park or something, like, watching the sunset.

[Ted Nivison]

I don't. I don't. Yeah, I just. I just think it would be. I would be scarred if I. If I, like. I don't know, maybe. I probably want it on, like, an extremity. Like, I'd probably want it on an arm or a leg or something, and not like, my face or, like, my stomach or, like, you know.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, well, consider this. Like, if somebody did shoot you, you probably wouldn't get to pick where. Yeah. So it's just really.

[Eddie Burback]

That's fair.

[Ted Nivison]

That's fair.

[Scott the Woz]

I like.

[Eddie Burback]

Point.

[Scott the Woz]

It's just getting to the point where it's just, like. I don't think they'd. They'd shoot you in the crotch. I think that would be kind of a. That'd be kind of a dick move. It's something.

[Ted Nivison]

It would be. It literally would be a dick move. Directly to the dick move.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. Or just like. I don't. Like, I don't know. Like, I don't think that would kill you instantly, but it would be kind of like a. You'd have a moment to look down and go, like, dude, like, why?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, you know, you definitely bleed out. If you got your dick shot off, though, there's no way. You're not bleeding out from that.

[Scott the Woz]

Probably.

[Ted Nivison]

You can.

[Eddie Burback]

What do you think? What do you think is zippers for?

[Ted Nivison]

And you could.

[Eddie Burback]

You think it was the one in. Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

Holding the. Holding the, you know.

[Ted Nivison]

Yes, yes. Slat already got shot, and he's just got a Ziploc bag under there with him. That. For cold in it all together, keeping all the blood in.

[Eddie Burback]

I would get shot. I would. I. I think it'd be a. A real funny video if I was okay and lived to tell the tale. They get demonetized, probably, but.

[Ted Nivison]

No, it absolutely would.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

I think you have to. The only place you get to upload that is on, like, the Dark Web. Getting actually shot and then talking about.

[Eddie Burback]

It would be a lively kind of thing, I think. Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

So.

[Eddie Burback]

I brought up the 3Ds. I want to actually talk about this for a second?

[Scott the Woz]

Let's. Let's hear it. Let's hear it.

[Eddie Burback]

Dude, can we talk for a second about how awesome street pass was?

[Scott the Woz]

Listen, can we talk? I got. I. I have. I have some bad. I've never really experienced street pass. I was one of those. I was one of those little like. Like when I got that, I was like one of those. One of those kids that was a little ashamed of Own it. Own a. Such a 3Ds at the time and junior high and high school. So I was just like, I just kept it to myself under. In, in my sock drawer, you know, and just pull it out when I'm just like, you know, home all alone.

[Ted Nivison]

Why were you ashamed?

[Scott the Woz]

It was, you know, the. I feel like. I feel like the schools I went to maybe, you know, it was something where it just like the. As a kid in my school, it kind of felt like, oh, as a guy, you got to wear Nike sock. You got to wear Nike Elite socks. You have to wear Axe body spray. You had to wear an aeropostale graphic tee. And if you didn't, then you were a square. So I was like. And like, you know what? If you brought, if you brought a DS to school or if you, if you even talked about playing, playing anything but Call of Duty, you were so. You were a twerp. Well, hold on.

[Ted Nivison]

I see where this is coming from. Yeah, no, I get it.

[Eddie Burback]

You know, I was in New York City a lot, and you just. You get hundreds of people, you walk by them and. And it's just, it's so cool. I have these people from seven years ago. Look. Look who I found seven years ago. Mommy. Mommy. Seven years ago, I met mommy in New York City. Just walking right past. And what was really cool, so cool about this is sometimes you see that two tags. Sometimes you meet people twice on street pass. It was this beautiful thing where if you Both had your 3Ds and you just saw, just brushed up against each other, you would never know. You'd never know. You'd only open the, the 3Ds later. And then it'd be like, surprise, dude, you pass on with the 3Ds. And then it give him, it give him like a little description. You put a little bio in. It was like, it was like this whole thing where you're just sitting there at your gate and all these people come up and they're like, hey, it's me, Mommy. I'm into dogs and I want to go, go hiking Sometime soon, right? And then if you met someone, Ted, if you met someone multiple times, like two or three tags, it started letting you send specific messages to those people so that the next time you cross paths, you could have like a fucking conversation with people. And there were a couple people in New York City that I, that I passed multiple times. And we started having conversations like four, five, six times I met these people. I never knew who they were. Is that so fucking cool?

[Ted Nivison]

That is. I mean, that is pretty interesting, for sure.

[Eddie Burback]

That's fucking awesome. That's the only shit I played on this. I did not. I hated Mario Kart 7. I hated Asphalt. All this shitty ass games with 3Ds. They all sucked. This was the coolest thing in the world. Still.

[Scott the Woz]

Did you, did you, did you ever see anybody in person and did you recognize them from.

[Eddie Burback]

No.

[Scott the Woz]

No.

[Eddie Burback]

See, I would have been scared. I would, I would have, I would have thought the same exact way you did, Scott. I've been like, there's no way I'm going up this person.

[Ted Nivison]

Like, hey, street past 3Ds, your mommy. You mommy, mommy, mommy. Like imagine, imagine witnessing that from an outside perspective. Someone just trying to get on the subway and then some kid walks up to this like 40 year old guy and goes, mommy.

[Scott the Woz]

Dude, it's so.

[Eddie Burback]

It was so cool. I was on a flight, I was on a flight recently and I took this with me and nothing.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh. Oh, that, that must have been heartbreaking person.

[Eddie Burback]

That must have been reports like I was in New York City not too long ago and well, you'd have to.

[Ted Nivison]

Get, you'd have to, you know, it'd have to be people that you run, walk pretty close to, you know. Yeah, I can't imagine that, like you're covering the whole airport with that.

[Eddie Burback]

Well, no, no, you, you were. It was like you kind of did have to be close by, but like the thousands and thousand people I pass by every day, I had. I'd get a couple tags every day back, way back when, probably like seven years ago, you know, it's kind of like.

[Ted Nivison]

It was kind of like Pokemon Go in some ways, I guess, without really anything other than just, oh, you ran into someone.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah, it's. The concept is just so cool to me, man. I wish there was like an app or something where like it just kind of, you could just kind of find like, hey, you walked by this person, here's something about them. And then how fucking awesome it was if you cross paths again and like it showed you a map of like the world and all the different countries. These people were from, like, so fucking cool.

[Scott the Woz]

What kind of.

[Eddie Burback]

I miss it.

[Scott the Woz]

What kind of conversations did you have with. With the people that you. You ran into?

[Eddie Burback]

Oh, Jesus. I don't remember. Well, I can't even. Probably I shouldn't share the ones I had with mommy. You know, there was just. I don't know, like, what's up, dude? You know what Subway. Are you taking that I. That I brushed past you on or something like that? You know, it only give you like 15 characters.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, that's rough. Yeah. Yeah. You gotta be. You gotta be creative with it. You could have, like, you could ever. Did you ever give anybody your. Your personal info? Like a phone number or something?

[Eddie Burback]

No, I don't think I ever did. I think the most. The most personal it got was me saying whether or not it was a dog or a cat person. That's literally the first thing that shows up. Let me see what my profile says from all these years ago from like seven years ago. And I set it up. Dude, such a great. I just. It's crazy me that. It's just so cool. I don't know why I'm so. I just.

[Ted Nivison]

I know. It's just funny because it hasn't used this.

[Scott the Woz]

No, I never did. Like I said, you know, high school, the high school days when. When I. When I.

[Ted Nivison]

When I was hiding in the. In the shadows.

[Scott the Woz]

I was hiding in 3Ds. I was hiding in the shadows. And then something awakened within me and I became. I became the Nintendo. Nintendo fan I am today.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah. Look at this. This was my profile way back when. Dogs are cats. Cats. Hobbies. Making money.

[Ted Nivison]

Your birthday is still dream to grow up big.

[Eddie Burback]

Birthday 9, 11.

[Scott the Woz]

How. How accurate was. Was all of those. All of those questionnaire answers? Was your dream truly to grow up big?

[Eddie Burback]

How big of a kid?

[Scott the Woz]

How big of a kid. How big of a kid were you? Did you. Did you ever hit a growth spurt or did you. Were you. Were you just always this. This tall?

[Eddie Burback]

I was pretty tall throughout most of my life. I think in. In middle school, I started growing. I was. I was a little behind in elementary school, but then middle school hit and I was generally pretty big. And then these. This past year, I got even bigger, which.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, damn.

[Eddie Burback]

Fulfilled the goal.

[Scott the Woz]

Well, congratulations. My God. Yeah, thank you, man.

[Eddie Burback]

That's so dumb. I brought. I. I've just been ranting about this awesome Nintendo thing for like 10 minutes to someone who doesn't. Who never, you know, could relate to it. People, we got to bring it back. That's the Last thing I'm gonna say, guys, if you're traveling a lot in New York City, Austin, wherever the you are, if you're going to the airport, just turn it on, just bring it with you.

[Ted Nivison]

Message to the world, signed by Scott. The was.

[Scott the Woz]

In my mouth here.

[Ted Nivison]

You were, you were. You seemed like you were supporting the concept. I just thought I'd maybe throw your name in there.

[Eddie Burback]

I'm gonna use you as advertising just like a petition.

[Ted Nivison]

Just like sign the petition. It's not a big deal, man. You're gonna help out a lot of people.

[Scott the Woz]

I, I would have. I would have appreciated, like a little bit of a discussion beforehand. Didn't even sign anything to show up here today.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, well, here's a. Here's a question for you, Scott, because I still got some questions, okay?

[Eddie Burback]

Oh, we're going. We're going another hour, baby. I got so much stuff to talk to you about.

[Ted Nivison]

I've got. Here's one question I got. What is. You know, there's some games coming out in the future.

[Eddie Burback]

You're gonna ask him what games? He's excited. These are the most basic questions ever. My God.

[Ted Nivison]

This is, you know, not my question. This is a. This is a Tucker question, which is so Is my fault. And you're also insulting my. My best friend. Try it. Oh, so I'm so sorry. It's a little. A little rude. He's also a big Scott the Wasp.

[Eddie Burback]

With questions for his favorite YouTuber and ask what game are you excited about?

[Ted Nivison]

His question is what you're. He says most anticipated release question mark or the game you'd be most hyped to hear is in development. Oh, okay, so you're gonna go like that. That's a good question.

[Eddie Burback]

A little more interesting than what game are you really excited about, Scott?

[Ted Nivison]

Because I didn't finish the question, you goddamn dope. God, I'm sorry about him. He's gargling all along about his New York, New York conversations on his 3Ds with Mommy and Scott sitting there like, I'm uncomfortable.

[Eddie Burback]

And in Ohio, Mommy, back in the day, seven years ago, me and mommy were going strong, Ted. And you're jealous.

[Ted Nivison]

I can tell you.

[Eddie Burback]

Nobody in your space.

[Ted Nivison]

If I can assure you one thing, Schlatt, it is that I am not jealous at all about that.

[Scott the Woz]

Damn. Damn. Just complete silence after that. That was where that was just like, oh, he just said that.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, my God, I did. I went there. I went there. Sometimes he needs to be smacked around a little bit. Otherwise he'll just going I don't know.

[Scott the Woz]

Well, this is. How many. How many podcasts have you done without. Without Slimesicle so far?

[Ted Nivison]

This is our second.

[Scott the Woz]

Second. Okay, I can tell. I can tell there's a lot of. There's a lot of heat in the room. There's a lot.

[Ted Nivison]

There is.

[Eddie Burback]

By the way, we'll see you next week.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, yeah. We didn't actually mention this. This is your audition.

[Scott the Woz]

Okay. Okay.

[Ted Nivison]

As being our third member, because we are lost. We are lost in the woods.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. If you're down for, like, you know, like, I can. I can watch more rap videos and I can. I can talk more.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, we do like the rat conversations. That last schmuck we had on last time, Wilbur Soot didn't want to talk about rats at all. I tried to introduce, you know, the concept before we even started, and he was like, oh, I might. I don't want to. Like, whatever.

[Eddie Burback]

They don't have shotgun traps either. Like, they don't. They don't even.

[Ted Nivison]

They don't even own guns.

[Scott the Woz]

I don't think they really got them abroad. Right. No, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. There was that whole movie American Tail. They do. They got him. They got him over there. Never mind. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, man, I'm gonna look like American Tail.

[Ted Nivison]

No, wait.

[Scott the Woz]

An American.

[Ted Nivison]

I want to put an American Bible goes west.

[Scott the Woz]

Some. Some little rat. He. He travels.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, this is a. Oh, no, I've totally seen this. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[Scott the Woz]

Yes.

[Ted Nivison]

No, this is a. This is like the same era as.

[Scott the Woz]

Like, lamb before time kind of stuff, you know?

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 80s animation.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. So they got. They got. They got mice over there and.

[Ted Nivison]

And the toaster one, too.

[Scott the Woz]

Brave little toaster.

[Ted Nivison]

Brave little toaster.

[Scott the Woz]

Didn't he go to the Brave. Didn't he go to the moon or something? Didn't go to Mars.

[Ted Nivison]

I think he was, like, trying to, like, get back to his owner or something. Like, it put a lot of, like, who the cares about a toast?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. Do you have that much. Do you have that much of a connection to, like, Toaster?

[Ted Nivison]

Whoever made it was like, oh, I just love bread when it's hotter.

[Eddie Burback]

I have a toaster I have a pretty good connection to. It's. It's a mitSubishi branded toaster.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

300. It posts one piece of bread at a time.

[Scott the Woz]

Do you have. Does it have like a screen? I've seen toasters with a.

[Eddie Burback]

No, no.

[Scott the Woz]

Okay.

[Eddie Burback]

All analog. All analog. Very classy. Fits right in. It's almost Like a piece in the kitchen. I keep it out.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, it's more of like a conversation piece. Like a coffee. It's a coffee table toaster.

[Eddie Burback]

You put one. One slice of bread and you close the top in it and it goes.

[Scott the Woz]

Is that. Is it a panini press? Is it a panini?

[Ted Nivison]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Eddie Burback]

There's. There's air for it to breathe. It just. It just makes the perfect toast every time. One slice.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I just, you know, like, I. I got one that I bought at, like, target for like, 60 bucks. It's trucking along. It's still trucking.

[Eddie Burback]

All of it. Can that cook maybe four pieces at once?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

Seems inefficient, but.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, but it. You know, I. Quality over quantity. I got you there. I don't want.

[Eddie Burback]

Of course. That's what. Isn't that your whole mantra, man?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I'm sorry, I. Yeah, come on. Yeah, I got.

[Eddie Burback]

Talking about that, though. He looks so dumb, though.

[Scott the Woz]

Why would. Listen, I'm sorry. It's been a lot of stress for me lately, I think. All right. Most anticipated game.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah. Most anticipated release or the game you'd be most hyped to hear is in development.

[Scott the Woz]

Well, there's not a lot happening in 2022 anymore. I mean, like, there hasn't been a ton that's happened this year, like, in terms of gaming. Gaming releases. Next year seems to be the big one. Seems to be like, the big one. You got.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

Got Breath of the Wild 2. You got Spider man, too. What else is coming next year? There's. There's a bunch of stuff that. Starfield. All that stuff. Starfield, yeah, yeah, that one. I'm not. I don't really care. I'll wait till that comes out and see how people are. Are talking. It's like one of those games where I'm like, oh, yeah, that's a big release, but I don't really care to keep up with it. It's kind of like when it comes out, then I'm like, ah, yeah, you know, I'll see how people are talking about it. And then. And I'm like, yeah, I'll get it. I'll try it out. That was kind of like how, like, Elden Ring was for me, where it's just like, I didn't keep up with that at all. And then when it came out, I saw like, oh, I was one of those people that were swooned over by all the 10 out of 10 review scores I saw. I'm like, oh, well, I have to Be a part of this. I gotta buy it. And then I was like, I, I have no idea what I'm doing here, but.

[Ted Nivison]

Was that your first like Soulsborne type game?

[Scott the Woz]

I've tried a couple of Souls games before that and it took a couple of games for me to fully get it. You know, like I actually. Elden Ring wasn't the one. Like I played like Dark Souls 3 for, for footage because I capture, I capture pretty much all the footage I show in like my videos. So I, I needed like just 10 minutes of Dark Souls 3. So I played it and I'm like, oh, I get it now. Yeah, that's. I get this. So it's just like I'll probably, I'll probably try Elden Ring out again because I played it for a couple hours and I, you know, I got it. But I was like, I, I don't have time to commit to something like this because it's going to take a while.

[Ted Nivison]

But I think the thing I like the most about Elden Ring that is different than a lot of the Souls games is that if you weren't able to like do a certain boss or you were struggling with it, you could just like go somewhere else.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Whereas like in most of the Souls games it's like you need to beat this specific boss at this time. Otherwise you will be just fucking stuck and you won't be able to do anything about it.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Also that fucking horse just jumping over people that you don't want to deal with.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. I didn't even, I didn't even take advantage of that element of Elden Ring when I played it. I was like, no, I'm being this guy. I don't care. Like I'm, I'm not a quitter. I'm not a quitter. I'm gonna, I'm gonna keep at it. But I definitely, I definitely want to try it again because I think I fully like understood like, like just like the value of those games before. I was like, ah, they're not for me. But I think I'm, I, I think I might be able to get into them more if I, if I give them more of a try. But I feel like, I feel like most anticipated game is a pretty lame answer. But I'd say like the, the sequel to Breath of the Wild, whatever, it's.

[Ted Nivison]

Gonna honestly not a lame answer at all. Yeah, but that's like Justified.

[Scott the Woz]

That's like going. It's just like, oh, I'm excited for the next good game. I'm just like, oh, like it's just as lame as hell like, it.

[Ted Nivison]

You know, you don't need to have, like, an incredibly nuanced, like, opinion. I mean, just it. I mean, I'm with you on that. Like, I feel like. Do you think it'll get. What are the odds? You think it'll actually come out when they're saying it's gonna come out?

[Scott the Woz]

I think it'll come out. I mean, like, they. They already. They already said, like, oh, it'll come out in 20, 20, 20, 22. And then they're like, ah, we need more time. So I think. I think it makes sense. I mean, it's already been in development for longer than, like, Breath of the Wild technically was, and there was Covid that, you know, hit. So, like, understandable. But it's still been in development longer, and it's using a lot of the same assets. So it's something where it's like. There's probably, like, something. Something big to the game that we haven't seen yet. So I'm definitely interested in seeing what that might be. And, you know, there's a bunch of stuff that you can kind of infer from, like, what they've shown so far. But overall, you know, like, I'm kind of just. It's a game where I'm like. They haven't really shown me something in particular where I'm like, oh, yeah, I can't wait. It's more. So just they're making another Breath of the Wild, so I'm just like, yeah, I'm excited for that. So it's just like. It's just kind of, like, based on, like. Well, yeah, no shit. I'm excited for that. So that's. That's probably like.

[Ted Nivison]

It's like they're announcing. It's like they're announcing the release of Cheeseburger 2 or something.

[Scott the Woz]

Well, yeah, I get.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, I'll be on board for Cheeseburger, too.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. Do you think that would do? Well, it might be a new Coke situation. Like, when that old could backfire.

[Eddie Burback]

Cheeseburger 2 might backfire.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, they might. I don't know. I think they're playing with fire. They don't want to do something like that.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, here's something I didn't mention. Speaking of cheeseburgers, then, this is. This is. This is like an ADHD sort of level of jumping here. But we didn't talk about. Since I mentioned Culver's at the beginning. Have you had the. The cheese curds from Culver's?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I've had. You Know.

[Eddie Burback]

Culver's.

[Scott the Woz]

I've gone to Culver's. I've had the cheese curse curds.

[Ted Nivison]

I just wanted to talk. I just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page about the cheese curds. Doesn't need to be anything more than that. I just wanted to make sure. Same page. Okay.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. All right.

[Ted Nivison]

Just make it short.

[Scott the Woz]

I mean, I understand you don't want to continue having a conversation with somebody with that in the back of your mind.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, yeah, no, it was like. It was, like, rattling around in my brain. It was starting. I was starting to, you know, I was like, cheese skirt.

[Scott the Woz]

Cheese skirt. Yeah. So it's just. I have.

[Ted Nivison]

I do have, though, another Tucker question that is. I don't really totally understand what this means, but I think you will, because it's.

[Eddie Burback]

Okay.

[Ted Nivison]

This is what. I'll just read a word for what he wrote. Okay. Metroid prime trilogy, hd, question mark. And then the next thing he said was, Wind Waker slash Twilight Princess HD question mark.

[Scott the Woz]

I think he's just asking if I think those are coming to the Switch or something like that.

[Ted Nivison]

Sorry. That's what he said. And I wasn't sure if, like, if I. I was like, am I gonna duck one of my. I think maybe that, like, because he was formulating questions, I think that maybe, like, he wrote that and then he was gonna write a question about it, perhaps, but.

[Scott the Woz]

Well, those are.

[Ted Nivison]

I guess the answer is sure to that.

[Scott the Woz]

I got. Sorry, Tucker.

[Ted Nivison]

He's probably pulling. Listen to this.

[Scott the Woz]

Is there. Is there some. Like, is there. Is there some theories that. That I know things that people don't, that I'm.

[Eddie Burback]

Like, anyone's going to know, it's you.

[Ted Nivison]

I got to be the king of Nintendo.

[Scott the Woz]

I got. I got nobody. I have absolutely nobody in my life.

[Ted Nivison]

You're telling me that Nintendo has never reached out?

[Scott the Woz]

I could probably look at my emails, but maybe. But I don't. I don't think so. I haven't. I haven't tried. You see, like, I like. I like. I like. I like twiddling my thumbs and making fun of companies without. Without the fear of them. Them getting angry at me or anything.

[Ted Nivison]

Giving you a little spank.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. So, like, I feel like there's a lot of, like, you know, like, YouTubers and YouTube channels, all that. That will work with, like, certain companies. And I feel like, you know, even if they say, like, oh, you know, they're not, you know, I can say whatever I want about this company, I feel like it's still going to be kind of like you don't want to be too mean to them or something. So like I'm always like I'll just, you know, I'll just, I'll just do my own thing here. I won't, I won't get too involved with a certain, certain brand or something. So I, I, I have not gotten a, a DM from, from Nintendo though.

[Ted Nivison]

But you should, you should, you know, you should reach out to Nintendo and say hey, give me all of the information for none of the done to the advantages. Like just kind of hardball them just.

[Scott the Woz]

Just to, just to talk, you know. Like I, I feel like, I feel like they must be getting lonely up there. Like you know where they are.

[Eddie Burback]

They're not doing much.

[Scott the Woz]

They're not talking to anybody. They're all business. I feel like everybody needs to just kind of like you know, loosen their, loosen their belt a little bit and just kind of have a, have a talk.

[Eddie Burback]

You know what I would send Nintendo, I would send him a letter saying rush out the next Animal Crossing game because I need more music for my videos. That's the only reason.

[Ted Nivison]

Funny thing to say.

[Eddie Burback]

That's only reason ever. That's the only game I'm looking forward to. I don't play games. I don't. Never touch it. Never touch Animal Crossing. I have not played any of the games. I played New Horizons for one minute and I said this is boring but the music is good and I'll be using it in every video I make.

[Scott the Woz]

Have you, have you used music that's not from Animal Crossing for your videos? So Mario, okay, any, anything not from a video game, Anything now it's all you.

[Ted Nivison]

I can't, I can't help you out here.

[Eddie Burback]

Maybe some, maybe some like royalty free classical music or something once or twice. But I mean the Animal Crossings where it's at, man, I love that shit.

[Scott the Woz]

It's, it's, it's a good, it makes it. They got a good old like just kind of, just kind of dicking around vibe going on there.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah, I like the, I do like the laid back games more. I mean like I played the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild game for a bit. I had like probably 50 hours in it and I didn't beat any of the guys you're supposed to beat. I just walked around the towns and cooked and like hang glided everywhere. That's all I did.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

Is that weird?

[Scott the Woz]

Is that I feel like, I feel like your taste in games is very, very specific. You have a very, you have a very like you're just like, I know what I. Like, I'm just gonna do that and not like.

[Eddie Burback]

Well, I. Sometimes when it becomes your job, you know, you don't really play games anymore. And I just kind of. You know why it's sad.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I kind of said, do I ever get sad? Yeah, you know, it's just like. I mean. I mean, do you ever get sad? I don't want to. I don't want to.

[Eddie Burback]

You know, I get sad.

[Scott the Woz]

I don't want to be alone here. Yeah, I get sad, too. Yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

I don't.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Well, you know, two thirds of the world. Weird.

[Ted Nivison]

You guys are weird. I don't get sad.

[Scott the Woz]

What is that? I think. I think we're the majority here.

[Ted Nivison]

What are you talking about? What am I. Whatever. In this call with a couple of. Couple of. Couple of shrimps. Yeah, couple of crying shrimps.

[Scott the Woz]

I think I mean, like, sad that you just can't play games that you like anymore. Is that. Is that the only major problem going on?

[Ted Nivison]

How did this turn into Scott. Scott's becoming your therapist or something? Is that what's going on? Sled? Like, what are you. What are you trying to gain from me?

[Eddie Burback]

Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

[Ted Nivison]

Go. Go lay down. See, I wish you had, like a. I wish you had your headphone microphone.

[Scott the Woz]

Could you. Could you. Do you think you could. Do you think you can make by as a licensed therapist, like, maybe like, you know, like off, you know, under the table, like an unlicensed therapist or something? Do you think. Do you think you could be a therapist?

[Ted Nivison]

Is that direct?

[Scott the Woz]

Just anybody. Anybody. Everybody. Everybody here just.

[Eddie Burback]

Do you think you can do it? You wouldn't get paid very much. They don't get paid much unless you could prescribe drugs.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, damn. That's right.

[Eddie Burback]

You need to do some more schooling to get the psychiatrist.

[Scott the Woz]

I gotta start stocking up. I gotta start stocking up. Have a. Have a good pile of prescription drugs.

[Eddie Burback]

Exactly.

[Scott the Woz]

I could hand out. I feel like.

[Eddie Burback]

I got some questions. I got some more questions for you. How about this?

[Ted Nivison]

Wait. I'm about to piss my pants.

[Eddie Burback]

All right.

[Ted Nivison]

I've been drinking water. I've been drinking this water.

[Eddie Burback]

What the.

[Scott the Woz]

Finally. Finally. You've seen the third.

[Eddie Burback]

That's an unbelievably large thing of water, Ted.

[Ted Nivison]

I think anyone would be laughing started. I probably drank about 40 ounces of water, so. I need a pee. So I'll be right back.

[Eddie Burback]

Go. I'll talk to Sky. I'll keep the podcast going. Is that a Game Boy SP on the. On the desk?

[Scott the Woz]

That's a 3Ds. That's a 3Ds with a capture.

[Eddie Burback]

Oh, that's a 3Ds.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, yeah, that. That one. That one's connected to the computer.

[Eddie Burback]

Hold it up. I got to get your me. I got to get your me, dude. Street pass.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh, wow.

[Eddie Burback]

Boom.

[Scott the Woz]

The bottom. The bottom is boom.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah, the bottom is where it's true.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. It's always on.

[Eddie Burback]

Jesus. All of our. There goes the fun.

[Scott the Woz]

We were. We were swapping secrets.

[Eddie Burback]

Maybe later, you know, we can talk more.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah.

[Eddie Burback]

Hey, what is.

[Scott the Woz]

I pissed and thoughts.

[Ted Nivison]

Whole time I was gone there thinking about stream whole time. Streaming whole time. Yeah, thinking that was a strong stream. It was clear as the water in Bermuda, man.

[Scott the Woz]

That. Honestly. Thank you. I've been. I. I mean, like, is.

[Ted Nivison]

It's my dear to you.

[Scott the Woz]

Has your. Has your pisses been. Been a little lackluster lately, like, potentially? Like, have you been like, kind of like, could be better?

[Ted Nivison]

There was. Yeah. I mean, I've been working on my piss improvement for a while now, you know? You know, I've been trying different techniques. Turns out drinking water. Most helpful thing I've seen thus far. All those pills and all that. What? No, you doing okay?

[Eddie Burback]

You do. You do Kegels. You know what those are? It's when. No, I clamp your butt cheeks really tight, and then you stop the flow of anything, and then that makes that. That. That muscle gets really good, you know? And then you can force out piss at an unbelievable rate. Like the floodgates.

[Scott the Woz]

Is there.

[Eddie Burback]

Hello?

[Ted Nivison]

It's just. I'm just speechless. I've never heard of this technique, and I just. For what purpose are you doing this?

[Eddie Burback]

Are we talking. Are we not talking about piss improvement?

[Scott the Woz]

Well, yeah, my.

[Ted Nivison]

My strategy is just get a.

[Eddie Burback]

Ted. You strike me as a guy who pisses on the side of the ball so that you don't have. You don't have to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, I used to when I was a wee child because I was afraid of the sound of my piss. But these days, I go directly middle of the water.

[Eddie Burback]

That's what you're supposed to do.

[Ted Nivison]

I want to make people know I got a big piss coming. Or it's iron. It's not even coming. It's already happening. The big piss is. Is. Is.

[Eddie Burback]

Is going on, and it will continue.

[Ted Nivison]

And it will continue. And. And those within earshot.

[Eddie Burback]

Nothing you can do about it.

[Ted Nivison]

There's nothing they can do about it. No, yeah, there's. It's just happening. I Think the best, the best way that I like to view my piss and describe my piss is inevitable. What do you think, Scott?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I. I mean, like, I, I agree. I agree with the, the. The. The piss. Piss sound barrier kind of thing.

[Ted Nivison]

The inevitable ability of this.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, I, I agree with the decibels of. Of piss because, like, you know, when I, When I was younger, you know, it was something where you pee in a certain way and then like, you hear. You always hear when your dad does it, you're just like, oh yeah, oh yeah, Dad's going to the bathroom right now. Oh, man.

[Ted Nivison]

For a big piss.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. You're like, what's. Like there's something wrong. Like, it's just like, I can hear this upstairs. So it's just like. Then you're like, well, I gotta. If I'm gonna be older, if I'm gonna be more mature, I have to be. I have to pee louder. So it's just like. Then you start going more, more in the water kind of thing. I mean, like talking. I mean, like, it's kind of in the same, you know, kind of like, same. Same complex as. As pisses, but, you know. Have you. Have any of you ever tried out a bidet?

[Eddie Burback]

Oh, yes.

[Ted Nivison]

We'Re sort of. We're like sort of a bidet support group over here.

[Eddie Burback]

Before this podcast, I was very nervous and to calm myself down, I sat on it and squirted a nice jet of warm water.

[Ted Nivison]

I can't say that I did that, but I will say that I prefer, you know, to use the bidet over anything else. I mean, it just saves. It saves. Saves you so much time.

[Eddie Burback]

Ted, you have you. Let me be. Let me be really honest with you. I've used your bidet and I'm sorry, impressed. I'm thoroughly unimpressed with it. Cold water one for 30 bucks on Amazon. It's.

[Ted Nivison]

It is. I mean, like the one that Swagger Souls told me about this. It's. He told me buy this one. He sent me the link. I bought it and I was shocked. I wish. I will say I like my.

[Eddie Burback]

Every time. It's a jet of cold water. You can't control the pressure either.

[Ted Nivison]

It is, it is. Well, you can, but you need to get the feel for it. In which case the only person that is able to use it is pretty much myself because I've gotten a feel for the. But if you don't know and you turn it on, your ass will be blasted with the. The strongest water pressure that you have ever received into the anal regions. It will shock you, it will potentially hurt you. So I had to learn a thing or two about it. But I am interested in the more expensive bidet world. I'm willing to get into that. Scott, are you sort of a bidet elitist?

[Scott the Woz]

Well, the house I moved into here just had all the toilets already pre installed with bidets. Yeah. I didn't have to do a damn thing.

[Eddie Burback]

Were they. You don't have to they. Were they the crappy Amazon ones or are they the actual luxury bourgeoisie ones?

[Scott the Woz]

I'm not sure because these are kind of like the only bidets that I've.

[Ted Nivison]

Ever experienced, ever known.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. So I'm not sure if these, if there are much, there's anything much better than what I already got going on here.

[Ted Nivison]

Describe and explain your bidet that you use.

[Scott the Woz]

So it's, it's every step, every step.

[Eddie Burback]

In detail from the second you sit down on the toilet.

[Scott the Woz]

I think, I think in detail. We have to start like when I wake up.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, so. So I've been waking up a little earlier these days, maybe around like 9:30 or so. You know, get out of bed and you know, like, I'll kind of like look around, maybe look to the right, look to the left kind of sigh, then go to the bathroom.

[Eddie Burback]

Long sigh.

[Scott the Woz]

Go to the bathroom.

[Ted Nivison]

Long sigh. Look out under the, the, the wastes of Ohio.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. Yeah. And then, you know, walk into the bathroom, my bathroom. The bathroom in my house and now in my bedroom is, has, has the toilet in a separate room in the bathroom. I'm like, wow, like, so somebody can go into the bathroom without, you know, without seeing who's on the toilet. It's pretty, pretty, pretty nice. So, you know, go into the bathroom, then go into the toilet and go in there. And then the bidet is on the side. It's just there and there's a little knob kind of thing. So you do there, you do your business and then you.

[Ted Nivison]

Does it, does it not have options of temperature?

[Scott the Woz]

I don't think it has options of temperature. It has power levels like a, like a power wash. It just, it does, does the thing. Now, I've never gone to max level because. Because like you're scared of it. Yeah, like 2 decibels. 2 decibels is good enough for me. And then, you know, anything past that is getting a little like, I'm just like, I'm a little worried, I'm a little scared. Yeah. But overall. Yeah, so. So no temperature knob. That's a bad sign.

[Ted Nivison]

Apparently it is.

[Eddie Burback]

I mean, you know. And.

[Ted Nivison]

You go for it.

[Eddie Burback]

No, no, no, no, no. I've got something to say, but I was just gonna.

[Ted Nivison]

I will just say. I will just say, because I know this is a. This is a big topic, and, you know. You know, there's a. There's a lot of schools of thought. A lot of schools of thought when it comes to the bidet. But what I will say is that. And what I've heard from various scholars in the community and in the academic world when it comes to the bidet, is that warmth is a big factor in determining comfort.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. See, mine is a little. Mine is a little nippy. Mine's a little cold.

[Ted Nivison]

It is a little nippy.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. But you know what? It's kind of like not. You see, like, I. I think. I think that's important, you know, because it's like taking a cold shower that's not only healthy for you, but it wakes you up. So it's just like, you know, like, it's just like, you know, that's kind of like the. The big old, like, all right, time to get up, kind of. Kind of. Kind of.

[Eddie Burback]

So you're saying your bidet is more of a thing to wake you up, not mellow you out and make you feel good?

[Scott the Woz]

I. I mean, if I. I can get used to it. I can get used to it. I can get more comfortable with it. I just got to spend more time on it.

[Eddie Burback]

So. Let me give you a detailed explanation of my day now, Ludwig, the most popular YouTube streamer. He. He gifted me this. He brought it all the way from LA to Austin as a housewarming present. It plugs in not only to the water, but to the outlet. And you have to sync up. It comes with a remote as well that you have to put batteries in and then sync up to the bidet. And so I'll wake up. It'll be a terrible night. I have night terrors every night. And the first thing I'll do is to calm my nerves, I'll go into the bathroom. And yes, it is also one of those ones with the door just for the toilet, because I find that, you know, it seals the smell in, and you can still enjoy the rest of the bathroom without the smell of shit. What's the problem?

[Ted Nivison]

I'm just. I'm just amazed with the way that you describe this. It just sounds like such a song, just dramatic.

[Eddie Burback]

Well, hold on. I'm not done. I know. I go straight into the bathroom.

[Ted Nivison]

I know. You weren't done.

[Eddie Burback]

I go straight into the bathroom and. Oh, Bye. Bye. I go straight into the bathroom, and I don't touch the bed. I hit the button on the remote. And the seat. Seat rises and presented to me is a warm, preheated toilet bowl that I lay my cheeks down on.

[Scott the Woz]

Just the bare toilet bowl?

[Eddie Burback]

No, no, it comes with a seat.

[Scott the Woz]

Okay?

[Eddie Burback]

It's a. It's a whole package, bro.

[Ted Nivison]

It's like the whole thing is a seat.

[Eddie Burback]

You sit down on it. It is warmed. Warmth is now. Is now on your legs, and it feels really nice. And you shit. And then you grab the remote again and there's two different angles it could come out on. It can do an ass shot or a gooch shot from right under, which is interesting. And it. You can choose the pressure. It has three different pressure settings. It has three different water width settings. So it can be. You can get the breadth or you can go in and. And really do the whole naruto shit.

[Ted Nivison]

You do the whole naruto shit?

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah. You can control the water temperature. Cold to medium to. To warm. Warm and. And hey, man, I mean, once you're done, there's a dry button. There's a fan. Whoa.

[Ted Nivison]

It took him a while to get to that, but that's the big part.

[Eddie Burback]

There's a fan. You don't even have to wipe. There's nothing to dry. And then once the fan is done, dude, you hit the beep deodorize button.

[Ted Nivison]

And it's pretty confused about this one. What is that face? You said you were confused. I was like, I'm confused about this one. You went.

[Eddie Burback]

It sprays a little bit of Axe Body spray into the bowl, and it.

[Ted Nivison]

You have to refill it with something. Can you choose the deodorizer?

[Eddie Burback]

I'm sure you can.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, okay.

[Eddie Burback]

I don't usually use the deodorizer, though, because it's. The bathroom is closed, so it's like you just walk out and close the door. The scent doesn't, you know, it doesn't go.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah, So I don't use that. But it is there. There are profiles on the remote, so you can train it to do certain things. So if you have. You have tuned to one, you hit one, it'll do the whole routine. It'll spray you. There's a way for the jet to kind of like. And then I do that sometimes, and then I do a nice dry. And then I get up feeling more confident and mellow than ever.

[Ted Nivison]

So. Do you understand what you're missing out on right now, Scott?

[Scott the Woz]

Like, okay, okay. How much. How much is something like, like what you're talking.

[Eddie Burback]

This is why you get, you find rich friends. This is why you find very rich people to give you things.

[Scott the Woz]

This sounds like a whole toilet has to be replaced. I don't know.

[Ted Nivison]

I feel like Scott could probably afford this. I mean, the dude's on the TV these days.

[Scott the Woz]

That doesn't pay that much. I don't pay that much.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, I was actually interested in asking about that though, because. Is that still a thing? I saw the announcement for it. Yeah, you're, you're. You're going on the big screen in every American home in the, in the, in the nation.

[Scott the Woz]

I don't think every American home. It's. I can, I can look at, I can look at cable listings right now because. I don't know.

[Ted Nivison]

I don't know. You announced that you're like, your videos are going on. On television. Television.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, that was, that was like October of last year. Yeah, that's when I was able to announce that. And then we announced it was like on G4, their old, like, relaunch thing. And yeah, I, I cut a, I cut a deal with them as. As people in the industry would say, yeah, you're. I made, Yeah, I made a deal. And yeah, so they, they ordered, uh, 10 hour long blocks of content, repackaged content. I didn't have to do a damn thing other than, other than create a whole intro for the show that I commissioned. But because, because no, nobody, like, they were probably gonna be like, yeah, we're just gonna repackage the content. And I was like, I want to make a theme song. I want to make an opening.

[Ted Nivison]

I mean, yeah, there's only so many opportunities that you can just like have your own theme song on tv. Yeah, it seems like it.

[Scott the Woz]

I could absolutely just lose everything. Tomor say, like, when I went on tv, I had a theme song. So I wanted to make, I wanted to take advantage of that.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

So, yeah, so that it's, it's. It was really weird because, like, it was pretty much just sending emails back and forth until like, it happened. So it was like. It's really weird. Do you, do you guys feel like that thing where it's just like you kind of look at a career like this is very, very, like inaccessible or just like, I couldn't imagine how that would be possible for me, like years ago, but that now that it's happening, it just shows like, how easy doing a lot of this stuff can be sometimes. Obviously there's a lot more hoops to jump through for some things, but it's also like, pretty much, it was like I never traveled anywhere. I never did anything other than just like email stuff and like have a couple like zoom meetings, but that was pretty much it.

[Eddie Burback]

And you're on fucking television.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, that's pretty. It's pretty fun. It's. Either way, I don't, I don't really like, it's just. It was kind of just like a cool little bucket list thing to knock off where I'm just like, I saw the opportunity. Yeah. Like I, I would see like comments sometimes for people. Like, I don't know what's not sticking with this. I mean, like, you know, like, TV is dying. I'm like, yeah, I know. Like, I don't care. It's just like, it doesn't take any time away from me. It's literally just the fact that the opportunity sold away.

[Ted Nivison]

It's not like you sold away your soul to like the TV channel or whatever.

[Scott the Woz]

It's just like, literally they like, you're just licensing. Yeah, yeah, they licensed it. So the way it pretty much works is kind of like if you, if like you like, I don't know, a movie licenses a song from a band to play as in their, like, you know, on. In the film, you know, they don't own the rights to that song. Like, they can't do, like, they don't own the rights to like the band or like whatever, using that song however they please, but they can use it in the film. And that's what G4 does. They pretty much like they own the rights to show the episodes of, you know, the YouTube show that I do in their hour long blocks. But, you know, like, they don't, they don't own the rights to the content itself. They can't do anything other than like what we already agreed upon.

[Ted Nivison]

They can't do jack.

[Scott the Woz]

No, it's all me. I. They can't do anything without me.

[Ted Nivison]

They're the mouse and Scott's got the gun.

[Eddie Burback]

Scott's the shotgun trap, baby.

[Ted Nivison]

He's the shotgun trap. And G Force, the little itty bitty mouse.

[Scott the Woz]

See, I.

[Eddie Burback]

Interesting because like, you think of other YouTubers who would like, feel like a good fit for TV, and I can't really think of a lot of them. I think in a way, like you even call it your YouTube show, right? Like, was there a. At the beginning of you coming up with the idea for the Scott dwaj show on YouTube, was there like any planning that went into. I'm gonna make this more like, like a format or like you know what. What had that kind of start?

[Scott the Woz]

There were, like, a couple. You kind of fall into things when you start stuff like that. Like, and you start to realize, like, oh, well, this makes sense because, like, a lot of YouTube channels around the time were using, like, like, illustrated avatars, cartoon avatars, interpretations of themselves as, like, the profile picture or, like, in the thumbnails and.

[Ted Nivison]

And different poses and stuff.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. And I chose to just, like, like, no, I'm gonna make my face a huge part of this channel just because, like, I want it. I want people to kind of come for, like, the video game content, but they stay for, like, me.

[Ted Nivison]

Right.

[Scott the Woz]

So, like, that's kind of like, what I thought. And, you know, that kind of stemmed from, like, me being like, well, I don't have the money to commission an artist to do this or, like, anything like that. But I realized, like, oh, well, that makes, you know, sense because, you know, you kind of just get, you know, the idea of, like, yeah, you know, I'm in every thumbnail. You know, my images, my face is like the profile picture, all that stuff. It kind of just kind of hammers like, oh, yeah. You know, it's just like, this is Scott. It's not just like, oh, I'm gonna watch a video game review by IGN or something. Like, no, it's like, you're right. It's more of a personalized thing. And then there's, like, other stuff that's like. Like, I don't know, stuff that just made sense where I would put myself on the right side of the thumbnail just because I was always on the right side of the shot in every video. But I'm like, oh, well, that makes sense because the time code is in the bottom right corner. So it's just like, if I'd want that to cover up anything, it would probably be like my lower. My. My stomach region, because, like, then it's not covering up anything important. You know, I kind of just fell into a lot of stuff that I realized later on. Like, I'm like, oh, that's smart. Or, like, oh, that makes sense. So it's just. It. I kind of just started this kind of stuff with the idea of just like, I just want to make weekly videos, but I also want to make sure that, like, this kind of, like, falls in line of like, oh, this is episode one. This is episode two. Because I always liked that as a kid, when I would make videos as a kid on YouTube, like, I would put them in, like, seasons and episode numbers and all of that. Just Because I always like the idea of making, like, a DVD box set of stuff for stuff. As a kid, I would make, like my own DVDs on Windows DVD maker, and I would, like, print. I would burn them and, you know, I would draw on the disc and I would, you know, like, create like, whatever. Box art. Yeah, like, whatever.

[Ted Nivison]

Like the kind. The kind where you have. If you have all four CDs, it makes, like, a picture with, like, on the back sides of them. Like. Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

On the.

[Ted Nivison]

On like the spine of all of them and stuff. Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

If only pet sources 2 did that with pet sources.

[Ted Nivison]

They only did that with their.

[Scott the Woz]

No.

[Ted Nivison]

God.

[Scott the Woz]

You gotta. You gotta honor. You gotta honor the. The people that have been there since the very start. You know, create an image with the spines. But no, I've always. I've always just kind of liked that consistency, and I've always kind of liked that kind of thing as a kid. So it just kind of like, I just wanted to instill that in the content that I produce now. So.

[Ted Nivison]

Like an episodic sort of vibe or like just the. The. The ser. Serialization of. Of, you know.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. Not that it matters at all. Like, it's literally like, you know, I.

[Ted Nivison]

Mean, it's more like a satisfying thing, I imagine for you. It's like. Like that you feel like you have this sort of cohesive product that you're able to put together, and it's like. And it's. And it's entirely yours that you're, like, pulling together. I think that's like. That totally makes sense.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, it's just, you know, it's just always been something that I've wanted to do as a kid. You know, I started watching YouTube, like 2007, 2008 or something around there. Would mainly use it to watch, like, clips of, like, whatever shows that I've seen or whatever. But yeah, on hulu, the Hulu YouTube channel, 360p.

[Ted Nivison]

Hulu Family Guy clips.

[Eddie Burback]

And it zooms in every 30 seconds.

[Scott the Woz]

They have the little ticker at the bottom. Yeah, they all have the little ticker at the bottom that says it's just like, there's some more Hulu.

[Eddie Burback]

So, hey, big question. You've been hitting on this consistency stuff, all the ideas. Tell me about the blue border. Oh, I looked back, man. The oldest videos you have still have this fucking blue rectangle border on the outside of your videos now.

[Scott the Woz]

It was bigger as hell. It was huge.

[Eddie Burback]

Either this was something where you were like, this is a very purposeful piece of my brand identity that I want to have going forward or it was simply just a mistake in the first video and you were like, fuck it, why not?

[Scott the Woz]

It was mainly like, I just kind of thought. I think I added it at the last second on the first video I did was just like, this might be kind of fun as like whatever, just like cohesive, like whatever part of the brand kind of thing. I did it as a way. This was when like when you would show Nintendo footage they would copyright strike you. So I kind of originally did it in hopes that it might help things. It did not. But like it was.

[Ted Nivison]

I've actually done that with. With like move when I do like movie reviews. I've actually done put it in a similar like border situation just because I had seen other people do it. But not being entirely sure if it ever worked. I.

[Scott the Woz]

For.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay, for a second when you brought up that, that drink that you were drinking, I thought that you had a. If you just hold it up so it just. Only the top of it is there. I thought it was ground cinnamon.

[Scott the Woz]

Oh no. I thought you were going to say.

[Ted Nivison]

I thought it was the spice. Ground cinnamon at first. You see where I'm coming from where I thought that. No, I guess I'm an asshole. Guess I'm a dick. Guess I'll just go jump.

[Scott the Woz]

I. A lot of. I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to what I'm drinking on camera. So. Thank you.

[Ted Nivison]

So sorry. What are you. What are you. What are you drinking?

[Scott the Woz]

It's coffee. I. I've been getting more into coffee lately. Mainly because, you know, if I'm. If I'm waking up earlier these days, like kind of, kind of helps because, you know, you ever get in those bad, those bad sleep. Sleep things where it's just like waking up at like 11 or like 11, 11am Isn't that bad sometimes. But like I was getting up at like 1pm Sometimes I'm like, I can't do that, dude.

[Ted Nivison]

Yeah, no, I 100 understand that. Or like, like when you're like showering at 1:00pm and you're like, this is wrong. People have been up for seven hours or something at this point.

[Scott the Woz]

Especially in like December in like Ohio, like in three hours it's gonna be dark out. So it's just like. It's something where I'm like, right. It's just rough. But yeah, the border thing, like, I was, I was thinking about doing it just over the gameplay, but I thought it would be kind of like. Like I was like, I'm just gonna put it over everything. Like Even the on camera shots, all that stuff. So I just kind of made it a consistent part of, of the videos. I just kind of thought like. And it was also something where I, I always wanted the freedom to do other things on my YouTube channel, like comedy skits or just whatever. So I thought it would just be a fun way to just kind of be like, this is a Scott the Woz video about video games. Or it's at the same desk in the same format that I usually do. So I'm like, oh, those all have the blue border. And then if I want to do like a comedy skit again, that wouldn't have that. So it's just kind of a weird part of, like, consistent branding that I wanted to do. Right.

[Eddie Burback]

So it wound up being so unique, though. I mean, like, it's burned in some.

[Scott the Woz]

Burned in some monitors for some people.

[Eddie Burback]

It worked. It's so it. Like, I, I remember because, you know, I, I was not very successful on YouTube by the time I found your channel. And it just was like, fuck, this dude is. He knows what he's doing. Somehow that blue border was just like, man, Scott. Scott's got it all figured out.

[Scott the Woz]

Damn. I, I put a PNG and PNG in my, my final cup project. And it just, is, it just.

[Ted Nivison]

Is it an empty png? Is it rather. It's like.

[Scott the Woz]

It is a png. It is. I can send it in. I can send it in our Discord call right now.

[Ted Nivison]

You're gonna send us the Discord? Well, because I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now, for these new Truffle Sandwich episodes that we're doing, we wanna, We've. And I've been floating the idea for each thumbnail of, of doing it in the style of the person that we have on. So I was thinking that maybe for the thumbnail, we put a little blue border in the, in the thumbnail just to show Scott's here and he's. We're bringing the blue. Wait. Oh, hold on. Scott, the editor. Scott, would you put a blue border around Scott for whenever he's on screen?

[Eddie Burback]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[Ted Nivison]

Let's do that.

[Eddie Burback]

I have a border around him. It's weird to see you. It's weird to see you without it. It's just like.

[Scott the Woz]

I got two variants here. Okay, okay. I'm saying I'm sending two. Okay. You got a thinner one, thicker one.

[Eddie Burback]

Oh, thick one. That's the thumbnail one?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, that's the thumbnail. The thumbnail one is the thicker one.

[Ted Nivison]

I didn't even know it was possible to.

[Scott the Woz]

Wow.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay, so you got layers.

[Scott the Woz]

There's layers.

[Ted Nivison]

This is great.

[Eddie Burback]

And I do know another big question, Scott. Is that just placed over everything so it's all clipped out slightly, or do you scale. Is it behind and then you scale the footage everything down a couple percentage?

[Scott the Woz]

No, it's. It's over everything. I think it's on top.

[Eddie Burback]

Oh, my God.

[Scott the Woz]

It's a top, not a. Not a bottom. It's. Yeah, it's. It's. Now I'm. I'm very happy I finally have been able to say. I've been too scared to tweet it, so I'm happy I was able to say it here.

[Ted Nivison]

That's Grace. Well, so we're getting like, we're getting news here. Breaking news. This is it.

[Eddie Burback]

This is drama. This is going to be on TikTok everywhere, bro.

[Ted Nivison]

Dude, Keemstar is going to talk about this. He's going to be on top of this.

[Eddie Burback]

Now, one more big question for you, Scott. Would you rather have unlimited games?

[Ted Nivison]

No. Would you rather have unlimited bacon but no more games or games. Unlimited games but no more games?

[Scott the Woz]

Does it. Does it have to be. Does it. Okay, okay. I'm a little. I'm a little. I'm a little pissed off here that.

[Ted Nivison]

Oh, you're asked.

[Scott the Woz]

I asked the. The shotgun question. And then I get this whole like. Oh, man. What kind of. What kind of question is that question? I thought it was a fair question.

[Ted Nivison]

I know. Well, here's what I'm gonna say, Scott.

[Scott the Woz]

But this, this, this question is fine.

[Ted Nivison]

You seem to have some issues with this question, but we asked this to every guest that has come on trouble sns. This is episode number 56. So you're coming on here, trying to.

[Scott the Woz]

Congratulations. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I'll. I'll be good here. We'll. We'll talk off camera.

[Ted Nivison]

I appreciate it. Yeah, we'll talk. We'll have a discussion like you're gonna. Like you're a teacher aside.

[Scott the Woz]

All right, all right. Unlimited games or unlimited bacon?

[Eddie Burback]

No, no, wait, hold on.

[Ted Nivison]

Unlimited bacon but no more.

[Eddie Burback]

Ted, I got it. I got you. Gotta let me redeem myself.

[Ted Nivison]

Okay?

[Eddie Burback]

Would you rather, Scott the wise, would you rather have unlimited bacon but no more video games or would you rather have games. Unlimited games but no games.

[Scott the Woz]

Here. Here's it. So I. There's other food exists still, right?

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah.

[Scott the Woz]

Okay, see, here's the thing. I've always. I've always been more of a sausage guy comparative to bacon I've always been.

[Ted Nivison]

What are we talking, like chorizo or like summer sausage?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, breakfast sausage. You know, like something you get. You know, the Cracker Barrel or something. Just get links. Yeah, some. Get some good links. I've always been more of a link.

[Eddie Burback]

Rocking chairs outside the Cracker Barrel.

[Scott the Woz]

They do. They do. I bought. I went to Cracker Barrel recently. They were selling a barrel of crackers. I bought. No, I had to buy it. Yeah, there's a little tin barrel.

[Eddie Burback]

And now back to the question you're getting.

[Scott the Woz]

Sorry, I wouldn't say sidetracked. I'm just trying to avoid it. All right, all right.

[Eddie Burback]

I'm pretty straightforward to me.

[Scott the Woz]

I would probably do unlimited games just because I can live without bacon. I'm. I do. I do like bacon. There's. There's nothing wrong with it, but I'm more of a sausage guy. So either way, if it's something where it's just like, you know, technically speaking, what I do, I need. I need video games. So it's a little tricky. I've never done anything bacon related on my videos. Never.

[Eddie Burback]

I think you're missing.

[Scott the Woz]

You can look at the entire. You can look at the entire back catalog. There's never been a single bacon reference.

[Ted Nivison]

He makes a good point.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah. So it's just like, what I'm doing. Like.

[Eddie Burback]

Yeah. I think he's misinterpreting a question a little bit. I feel like. A little bit.

[Ted Nivison]

You're gonna. You're gonna.

[Scott the Woz]

You misinterpreted my shotgun question. I didn't get that. I got a little pissed off. I didn't get that. Pissed off.

[Eddie Burback]

Okay, I guess that's the answer.

[Ted Nivison]

Here's the secondary question. Here's the secondary question. Just so Scott doesn't rip Schlatt's fucking hand. Skull from its. From his spine. You know, we've got. We've had a lot of guests on. Usually when we have a guest on, we would ask normally, what portion of the sandwich would you comprise? You know, I'm the butt pieces.

[Scott the Woz]

Our.

[Ted Nivison]

Our. Our ghost boy. Our honorary ghost boy Charlie is. Is the. Is the meat and Schlatt is the mayo. But what part of the sandwich would you consider yourself? I would say, Scott, the was.

[Scott the Woz]

I would say, potentially like. Like, maybe the chives. Oh, yeah, chives. Maybe the toothpick. Maybe the toothpick in the middle.

[Ted Nivison]

The toothpick.

[Eddie Burback]

The toothpick holding it all together.

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, you see? Have you ever gotten that answer?

[Eddie Burback]

No, that's.

[Ted Nivison]

Those are both. Those are both unique answers.

[Eddie Burback]

Also, most People, we may have actually got.

[Ted Nivison]

Dude, there's a chance we may have gotten a toothpick. Is there keeping track?

[Scott the Woz]

No, There ain't a toothpick in your logo, right?

[Eddie Burback]

No.

[Scott the Woz]

Toothpick is in the picture of the sandwich.

[Eddie Burback]

Also, it's very strange he took the games because he didn't hear the rest of. Never mind.

[Scott the Woz]

Okay, okay, let's hear. Let's hear the rest of it. Let's hear the rest.

[Eddie Burback]

No, I mean, do you want me to repeat the question again, Scott?

[Scott the Woz]

Why? It's literally like I take the games, but then like my aunt dies or something.

[Eddie Burback]

Well, no. Why don't you repeat the question that we posed to you before?

[Scott the Woz]

Okay. Would I. Would I want unlimited games but no more bacon or unlimited bacon but no more games?

[Eddie Burback]

Scott.

[Ted Nivison]

Scott, you're far too simplistic view on that listener, Scott.

[Eddie Burback]

No, I'm gonna say it one more time.

[Ted Nivison]

I'm gonna break it down for you. Barney style.

[Eddie Burback]

Barney style. This is the way it was posed to you. Twice now, and now thrice.

[Ted Nivison]

This will be the thrice, the third.

[Eddie Burback]

Dice time, and this will be the last time we say it because we've.

[Ted Nivison]

Been in this podcast for an hour and 50 minutes.

[Eddie Burback]

Would you rather have unlimited bacon but no more games or games? Unlimited games but no games.

[Scott the Woz]

Unlimited games but no games.

[Ted Nivison]

It's a tough one. It's a hard nut to crack.

[Scott the Woz]

So let me. I just. I just need to be clear here. The second one was that I'd get unlimited games but no more games. Two games. Two games in that question. I'd still take unlimited games.

[Eddie Burback]

Really?

[Scott the Woz]

Yeah, Because I want to see.

[Ted Nivison]

Well, we got to respect this.

[Scott the Woz]

I want to see what that even means. I'm. I'm down. I'm down to see. I'm down to see the. I'm down to see the problem at.

[Eddie Burback]

Hand there, but you lose them right after.

[Scott the Woz]

I'm open to seeing. I'm open to seeing the world burn.

[Eddie Burback]

Wow.

[Scott the Woz]

I'm open to seeing how bad so stuff. Stuff was about to get.

[Eddie Burback]

I mean, you could have unlimited bacon as a result.

[Ted Nivison]

You're gonna have to. You're gonna have to. You're gonna have to let them. You have to accept it. You know, just like you accept the date on your shirt. You're gonna have to accept it, you.

[Eddie Burback]

Know, 977 of them.
