Grenade

...

Hand Grenade, and Flying Shrapnel.

Mm-hmm.

You have these three kinda sections or, or maybe they call it movements.

She's gonna make me happy."

[laughs]

And then you get to Hand Grenade, and you're like, "Ish sar.

Wait, wait, what's going with this?" And then the third, you expect it to kinda be the tiebreaker, and it's-

But when I heard, uh, when I came to America and heard what David and Stephen and Neil and Joni were doing, I realized that if I put better lyrics to my song, to my melodies that I'd learned, uh, I would have better songs, and that's exactly what happened.

Yeah, Teach Your Children was inspired by a Diane Arbus photograph called Boy in Central Park with Hand Grenade that Nash had seen, and, uh, he was really struck by the image of, of a young child with any kind of weapon, sort of what we're teaching our children as they're growing up in this, uh, world where there were assassinations happening and the Vietnam War.

And, and so he, he wrote that song.

Yes, I, I had collected, uh, uh, what I considered to be great photographs.

Yes.

And she kept a hand grenade from the war, which she founded at home because her family had been resistance fighters.

Right.

She used to take it on planes with her.

I've got such good news for you then.

He's still number one on the leadership board, which I've listened to an unhealthy number of times.

My first submission was about my granddad, the man who thought giving his grandson a hand grenade was an entirely acceptable grandparenting decision.

Do you know, there is a French woman.

Thanks.

Here's your first question: Cincinnati Reds pitcher Brock Burke is a, quote, "lifetime sleepwalker." So it wasn't great for his roommates back in the minors when he did what? Was it A, stand up, yell, "Grenade," make an explosion sound-

[laughs]

... and get right back into bed.

That's the one.

[clapping] [laughs]

He yelled, "Grenade."

[laughs]

And as I've mentioned, what I'm going to do is I'm going to provide alternative coverage because I'm already seeing that, to me, the local press, they just want to be on board.

They want to, you know, Channel 12, Pineapple, Pinecone, or Hand Grenade, the Federal Hill Mystery.

That's the story they're doing.

These guys are going to run the city.

Again, that'll be something that we track and just see how that, how that develops.

Last story before we get into our games of the week is Hot Dogs, Horseshoes, and Hand Grenades 2, and I, I checked this, and I was like, "I don't know how the PC VR crowd is going to react to this." So the news here is that, uh, H3VR2 will launch on November 5th, sorry, November 12th on Quest 3.

Uh, pre-orders are available now for $40, which is not a small amount, uh, more expensive than the first game.

The PC VR version will come in the second half of 2027.

Um, just catching on the chat real quick, "So I never played this game, but I've played Vertigo Remastered and 2.

I love those games." Vertigo 2 was, was my game of the year that year until Astro's Playroom 2 came out.

Uh, he basically did that with Hot Dogs, Horses, and Hand Grenades.

One just had a more relaxed pace.

John James from Voluntary Mortification hosted our, or emceed our show last year, so I'm excited to get those guys on board.

They did something at Immersion last year called the Holy Hand Grenade, which was pretty interesting, so I don't know if they're going to do that, where you fight over a hand grenade in the, or basically like a replica of a, I don't know, Hand Grenade in the pit, and whoever has it at the end of the song gets a T-shirt.

That was pretty cool.

Diamonds to Dust we saw at Signal Boost, and they put on a good show.

He's so cheap.

Black Sun, we had one Black Sun squad with Ovigo, the Magdette, Tank Hunting, and Frag Grenades.

So if they got range 1, they were impact 5 surge crit with 12 dice.

It's fine.
