Talking to My Boy About Videogames - 25 - Existential Dread

[upbeat music] Maximum, Utmost.

All right, we're recording.

Hello.

[laughs] That's how you wanna-

[laughs]

... introduce it? It's nice to say hello.

It's a greeting.

Yeah, I know.

Do you think about the listeners, Ryan? Do you remember that they're real people?

They are real people, but sometimes I wonder-

Hmm

... am I a real person? Will I live on to a next life? Do I only have, like, 90 years to live until I'm permanently gone forever, and I will never see light again, and my brain will turn off, and I'll be in a endless pit not able to think, and that'll be the end of my existence forever?

Hmm.

For eternity?

Yeah.

It's a age-old question.

It's-

They, they sing a song about it in Beauty and the Beast.

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

Tale as old as time.

No, no, no.

Song as old as rhyme.

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

Nihilism feast.

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

I have laughed, I have cried.

I have lost every game.

Taken all I can take, but I'll stay just the same.

Because you're all I have, my boy.

You are my life, my pride, my joy.

And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy.

Welcome everybody to ano-

To another-

[laughs]

... thingy, to another episode o- or-

You wanna do it? You wanna do it at the same time?

Okay, you do it.

You do it.

We can do it at the same time, like remember those vocal coaches where a guy was like, "My name's Sam Boxwell." And then a little woman went, "And I'm Colleen." And together they said, "And we're the vocal coaches that help you to sing to the Lord." Remember? Let's do that together.

No.

You ready?

No, no.

Let's say, "We're the vocal coaches that help you sing to the Lord."

No, how about you just do the podcast?

How about you just do the podcast? [laughs] Uh, sure.

I'll, I'll happily-

I'm petting it.

I'm petting the cat.

Yeah, so there's a cat that Ryan fears.
