Billy Mitchell

I was kind of thinking, you know how you put me on to watch King of Kong? Yes.

What was the name? Billy Mitchell?

Oh no, that is a film.

You look at that.

because it's jaw-dropping because you think, oh no, this guy's got the record, and then all of a sudden, oh no, no, I've got this videotape that shows me I've got a record.

But

I think the guy was called, Billy Mitchell was the arrogant kind of guy with the stupid haircut.

oh

Hallelujah.

All right, and then we got Billy Mitchell checking in.

Let's see.

I've always said that about C-Power, never not.

So Paul Zimmerman is Walter Descartes number one.

Even though Billy Mitchell printed his own number one so he could have number one.

Paul Zimmerman was the true number one card for all three days.

Whole card series of thousands and thousands of cards.

don't think we did.

But I did want to give a shout out to Billy Mitchell's doing the good work out there for the battalion, taking pictures of some signs and sending them in to the OK Podcast inbox there on Instagram.

So good stuff.

Yeah.

And the whole idea was they were going to, after the bombing of 30 Seconds Over Tokyo, the campaign of the B-26s that-

Billy Mitchell.

Billy Mitchell.

Well, I'd say Jimmy Doolittle, excuse me.

Jimmy, you're right.

Terminator 1 was getting Tarkov'd v- uh, video essay series.

Terminator 2 was the Billy Mitchell video.

Sure.

D- for all intents and purposes, yes, yes.

I, I, I agree with you.

I, I don't, I don't think...

But, but if, if you had 10 people come in and be like, "Just watched your Billy Mitchell video.

I hate that you had to use AI to write that script." Some part of you would be like, "Motherfucker." You know what I mean? Even though everything you just said is true.

uh cheesy ghost is okay i just uh there's something about the king of kong where it almost felt like a drama you know like hollywood cannot write characters that good

they made uh billy mitchell look like a old wrestling heel and you just wanted to punch him in the face that was the yeah

basically i mean unfortunately you know that it was pretty yeah

Going full circle here, I spoke to Mikey, God, it might be two years ago now, and he was saying King of 94, the name of that was a derivative of the King of Kong.

Yeah.

He is a huge Billy Mitchell fan, and so it's funny because the tournament we all attend, the King of 94, the name is kind of based off billy mitchell's documentary or the documentary between him and steve weeby the king of kong so like it's i find it to be hilarious and um yeah it's it's just uh the close uh to tie a bow on that side

of the things but yeah no i'm not surprised at all i wonder if mikey brick brian is still a billy mitchell fan um now don't get it wrong like billy mitchell is an amazing retro player like he is he is one of the best it's uh It's unfortunate it went the way it did, but I wonder where Mikey McBride stands on today.

I'll have to talk to him again.

You need to learn the meta inside the video game.

But once again, when you look at a game like Donkey Kong- I can play Donkey Kong and get to level three, right? Billy Mitchell can play Donkey Kong for seven days in a row and knows how to manipulate every little aspect of it, but that comes with just the learning and the education of how the game works.

And, uh, there are different levels to that.

So yeah, I would say, I would say yes, it's definitely skill.
