[upbeat music] Hello, everyone.

Welcome to another episode of All My Best Friends Are Digital, a podcast about video games and the stories they tell.

I'm one of your hosts, Caitlin Bailey, and I have here with me Mark Bigney.

Mark, how goes it?

This is a bit of a step down because we're not gonna be talking about hot dudes.

[laughs]

But I am still more than happy to be here talking about these things with you, Caitlin.

Me too, Mark.

Me too.

Uh, for context, I suppose-

[laughs]

... for those of you who are deeply concerned or curious or confused perhaps, or all three, uh, we just finished recording an epic discussion, uh, for our patrons about the hottest video game dudes, the first half of which was posted a few days ago, and the second half of wh- which will be posted later.

And it's just what's on...

It's just what presents on the mind.

I mean, normally in, over the course of a given day, about 5 to 10% of my waking thoughts are about Rahul Kohli anyway.

[laughs]

It's just now it's slightly higher.

Slightly higher, yeah.

Yeah.

A bit.

It's what the people want, or at least it's what we wanted to talk about and it's what the people get.

[laughs]

It's what we wanted.

I have zero conception about how much the world wants to hear my thoughts-

[laughs]

... on what dudes are hot.

I suspect a greater proportion of the world wants to hear what your thoughts are about hot dudes.

I-

But we're gonna find out

... doubt that, but we'll see.

We'll see, Mark.

I had a great time discussing it with you, Caitlin.

Me too.

I learned about myself.

I learned about you.

Anyway.

[laughs]

It was a very productive experience.
