When my son's hands gripped the controller, eyes locked on Fortnite, it hit me—gaming isn't what it used to be. Join us as we explore the seismic shifts in video games from the cartridge-blowing days of yore to the immersive realms of today, where not just our attention but our personal data is up for grabs. We laugh off claims of video games as 'brain benefits' while wrestling with the notion that perhaps these digital worlds are priming our youth for high-pressure environments.
Ever wondered how a stint in the military might sharpen your Call of Duty skills? This episode covers ground from the laughable financial missteps common to many a service member's tale to the profound camaraderie forged in the armed forces. We recount tales of vehicular follies and reflect on the small unit leadership that can influence life's trajectory, all shared with the humor of old friends well-versed in learning lessons the hard way.
It's not all fun and games though; we navigate the complex emotions tied to military service and the shifting political sands that inform our decisions. We dive into the murky waters of why we serve, who truly benefits, and the shared determination to protect our loved ones from serving under false pretenses. Expect a dose of reality, a sprinkle of nostalgia, and a candid discussion on how personal growth can lead us down new paths in this episode that is as earnest as it is enlightening.

All right, we're back. Segment two, not the press. I hope you're ready for this, because we're going to have some hard talk about some hard times playing some hard games Not really. So let's start this conversation out Video games, the effect it's having on us and our kids and our society. It's pretty ridiculous because I can tell you my son, who's eight years old, is a maniac when he plays Fortnite. And Rob, what was it called? Minx Roblox? You got to say it in the mic, sexy.
Speaker 3:Roblox.
Speaker 2:That was like retarded sexy mic, sexy Roblox.
Speaker 1:That was like retarded sexy. Thank you, roblox.
Speaker 2:That was creepy retarded sexy. Roblox that was Serbian retarded sexy, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Roblox.
Speaker 2:Anyways, let's open it up. Man, who wants to go first on this?
Speaker 3:I mean, I'll go first. I frequent the video games. Yeah, no, I see it in my little cousins. They're about 13, 14. They just absolutely lose their mind when I don't know. I think they're playing Fortnite and they have nine. I know, when I was younger I'd about do the same, but I don't remember ever being like that man. So I remember being like that.
Speaker 3:but when I said I don't know if you heard me earlier when I was like internalize it, like I was raging inside because I knew if I acted it out, my mom was going to come in there and beat the shit out of me. Bro, I lived with you at 30 years old well listening to you scream at 12 year olds, but it's completely different now. How often at work did you ever see me lose my shit at work?
Speaker 4:not very often actually, and we were in the marine corps together yeah, I wasn't never.
Speaker 3:why? Because I took it out, on out on something that was meaningless to me, on little kids. Yeah, I took it out on little kids.
Speaker 4:I mean honestly, if you think about it, you're doing them a favor.
Speaker 3:Yeah, get the fuck off the game You're teaching them life skills. Yeah, you're going to get yelled at, I'm prepping them for the Marine Corps.
Speaker 2:I mean, the anger thing is one thing I think that's, that's competitiveness. There's some competitive edge in there. What I worry about is the actual brain stimulation because the constant playing in the think about it, man, you're playing video games all day and your brain is always working when you're playing that video game. It's an overdrive, it's 100. It's not taking a step back and relaxing. And even watching a movie you know, that's kind of relaxing it still stimulates you a little bit, depending on what the movie is. Or like reading a book or going riding your motorcycle, yep, like all those things that unplug you from actual brain stimulus. A video game it's nonstop, it's nonstop.
Speaker 3:So I want to see if there is. I don't know, because I get where you're coming from. I think I was reading something where, when you play video games, you're actually not getting stimulated at all.
Speaker 2:How can that be? Because it's like when you're watching a TV, your brain actually not getting stimulated at all.
Speaker 3:How can that be? It's like when you're watching a TV, your brain's not having to work for it. The only thing that it's actually working for is like because when you're outside, we'll go back to the motorcycle. Is it's that feeling? You got the wind on you. That's the sensation.
Speaker 2:I think we need to you know what we need to do. We need to look to our fact checker on this.
Speaker 3:Let's see our fact checker as we talk about this.
Speaker 2:Minx, can you find the facts, the proven facts, about video games and brain stimulus?
Speaker 1:So from, according to the National Library of Medicine, video gaming. The experience of playing electronic games has shown several benefits for human health.
Speaker 2:I'm just going to go ahead and say that's Chinese propaganda.
Speaker 1:Benefits on cognition and the brain.
Speaker 2:Chinese propaganda. Let me guess TikTok gave him that information.
Speaker 4:I Googled a headache the other day and apparently had a brain aneurysm.
Speaker 3:Yeah, WebMD would tell you some crazy stuff, like I was saying being on a motorcycle. It's like you got the smell, you got the hearing, you got the feeling on you. You got that internal gut feeling, like when you're going in a turn you know you're going too quick and you're like you get that oh shit, factor that pucker factor and you're just like like I might be going too quick on this and I'm about to go off the road.
Speaker 3:Or when you're playing a video game, it's just moving your thumbs and just looking at a screen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but there's feeling, though. What is it called Dopamine?
Speaker 3:So, yeah, definitely dopamine that I get.
Speaker 2:So, like what I was trying to explain to my son the other day was, like drug addicts, the reason, one of the reasons why they get addicted to addicted to drugs is dopamine, so they're doing this drug. It makes them feel good that it doesn't make them feel happy or anything, but it makes them have a sense of okay, I'm doing what I should be doing, right now.
Speaker 2:And then the brain releases the dopamine. Okay, and the brain wants more, so they go and do another drug and then it has to up that dopamine release more and more and more.
Speaker 1:And I'm no doctor. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:When it comes to this, it's somewhere along these lines, but with a video game it's the same thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So your brain has that dopamine effect. So your brain has that dopamine effect and you have to keep going back to it to get the higher release of dopamine or whatever it is, or a stronger release, I don't know, but there's definitely an effect there. Because if I told my 8-year-old son, okay, you're never playing video games again, until I say, and we took him off of video games, I guaranteed he'd be probably the most well-behaved kid. He's already pretty good behaved, it's just with video games again. Until I say, and we took him off of video games, I guaranteed he'd be probably the most well-behaved kid. He's already pretty good behaved, it's just with video games.
Speaker 2:It gets him angry. We wouldn't see any of that again For a couple of days. His brain would adjust his hormones and all the chemicals would adjust that. His body and his brain would find a new way to release dopamine to make him feel good through doing something else. But it wouldn't be as much dopamine that would be released Drugs, I'm kidding, I don't know.
Speaker 3:I played a shit ton of video games. I never thought about drugs.
Speaker 2:Me either man, I just. I think that's a shit ton of video games. I never thought about drugs. Me, either man, I just.
Speaker 3:I think that's more the crowd you're around.
Speaker 2:I know that. I know and it's my fault I know my son's addicted to video games at eight years old and that's a problem. You know I'm addicted to nicotine and tequila and the minks and sex and I'm addicted to a lot of things.
Speaker 4:So yeah, I was never a gamer. I don't know, I tried growing up. You should be a gamer. I just kind of sucked at it, and I didn't like sucking at things, so I stopped.
Speaker 3:He rage quit, but it was like the infinite rage, like once he's he's like I'm done I'm done forever I'm done.
Speaker 4:I even tried uh, my first, you know, I think it was like my second year in the marine corps. I was like you know what? I'm gonna save some money. I'm gonna buy a playstation and I'm just going to play video games, and this is what I'm going to do and save money. That was on a Tuesday. Friday came around and I was like, well, I guess I'll go to the bar.
Speaker 1:Dude, that was it.
Speaker 2:Here's the funny thing.
Speaker 4:I'm too much of a social person to be cooped up. I can't do it.
Speaker 2:The funny thing about that is you're absolutely right Back in the day. It's like staying in playing games would save you money. Now no. The evil empire of fuckfaces up there figured it out and they're like oh, they think they're going to save some money, fuck, no, let's do micro transactions. We're going to take all their money through V-Bucks.
Speaker 3:V-Bucks. Yeah, it's Fortnite.
Speaker 2:It's a currency, and then there's Robux, and then there's like a 15 million different other currencies, but the thing is.
Speaker 4:I took a couple girls' V-Bucks a couple times. Not the same thing. Not the same thing, all right, never mind, not the same thing, my V-Buck Disregard.
Speaker 2:Give my V-Buck back. You want your fucking V-Buck. I got to say it in Cajun you want your fucking V-Buck back. Give me my V-Buck.
Speaker 4:Is there no return policy on that, by the way?
Speaker 2:I actually took Carrie's V-Buck for Genie. Nice, I popped her V-Buck. She didn't spend any money on V-Bucks until she met me.
Speaker 4:Is that true, Minx?
Speaker 1:I have not bought V-Bucks Mm-mm. None.
Speaker 2:Oh, then you popped my chair with V-Bucks. One of us lost our V-Buck virginity.
Speaker 3:Go get the piggy bank right now.
Speaker 4:Man damn it, hold on, I'll pull up the transactions. Wait until you start seeing what Evil Empire is coming out with pretty soon. Right now, man damn it, I'll pull up the transactions.
Speaker 3:Wait until you start seeing what Evil Empire is coming out with pretty soon.
Speaker 2:Wait, wait, wait. Are we talking about the real Evil Empire?
Speaker 3:No, not that one. The game stuff. They're looking at the option of play per hour, pay per hour when you buy the game. I'm pretty sure that Jersey just did Pay per hour when you buy the game. Yeah, where you buy the game and when you play it they're going to charge you. They're going to charge you per hour to play. So instead of you buying a $60 game and owning it and playing it all you want, these corporations are looking at the option of you playing the game and you having to pay per hour to play the game, because they're realizing, like with certain games people are putting in thousands of hours and they're like how can we profit off that? So they're looking at options of all right, maybe we'll let them play 500 hours. After that, every hour we're going to charge them a dollar.
Speaker 4:Whatever happened to the good old days where you know?
Speaker 3:your game wasn't loading right. You just pull that sucker out and just blow right in that, so they got our generation ready for something else. That's what happened.
Speaker 4:Huh, we're being prepped yeah, you guys remember like duck hunter yes, that was, that was awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, duck hunter yeah, with that little orange, and uh, orange gun like yeah, boom, it'd be aiming on this side of the screen and still registered on two left.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Duck Hunter, yeah With that little orange and Orange gun Like yeah.
Speaker 3:Boom, it'd be on this side of the screen and still registered on two left.
Speaker 4:Yeah, my little brother would want to play with me all the time. As we, you know, we had a old Super Nintendo and my little brother would want to play with me all the time, but he sucked yeah, and he'd piss me off because he'd suck so bad. So I would just act like I was plugging the controller in, but I wouldn't. And then he thought he was killing so many ducks it was great. But then he caught on.
Speaker 3:Funny fact this is actually where he learned how to hunt.
Speaker 4:That's not where I learned how to hunt.
Speaker 2:Some people did learn how to hunt in Duck Hunter. Hey you know what can? I got a pretty good duck call, do it, so I want to hear it. I want to. It was it like donald?
Speaker 4:duck like I put the camera on yeah so you got the camera on me on this, all right. So you got a regular coke can, tab beer can, whatever right. You take that sucker and you you bend it right at that weak point right there and you make a little 90 degree, like that right, and you take it, put it right on top, tip your tongue right in there and then you just blow. Well, do it. All right, ready, do it. Here it goes, here goes nothing.
Speaker 2:Put it in the microphone.
Speaker 4:Come here, duck goes, here goes nothing. Put it in the microphone. Come here, duck dude, dude pretty good, right, you works every time you come here, duck come here, duck, come here.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna use that if I ever go on a duck hunt. My buddy, uh, will stein, he loves a duck hunt. I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna do, I want to go duck hunting with you. He's gonna be like, yeah, come on and I'm gonna go with him. And I got the greatest duck caller. I learned it from a Cajun. He has the deep, dark secrets of Louisiana duck calling Deep in the swamps and he lives in Alabama. So he's going to be like, ooh, competition. Then we're going to go out there and he's going to be like, all right, let's hear it.
Speaker 3:And I'm going to be like come here, duck. No, yeah, no you better make sure I want you to scream it Come here duck, get over here duck. And you got to record that.
Speaker 1:Hey duck, get your ass over here.
Speaker 2:It's like that Duck you better get that little ass over here.
Speaker 4:Come here duck. I had you going there for a minute, you thought I was really gonna come out I was.
Speaker 2:I was ready to mock you with my donald duck. I was ready, I was on standby for it.
Speaker 3:It's like donald duck's weaponized right now I'm ready to go, come here, duck, and you're like damn it. And then he does his thing and it's like Donald Duck's weaponized. Right now I'm ready to go, come here, duck, and you're like damn it.
Speaker 2:And then he does his thing and it's like what the fucking?
Speaker 1:fuck yeah the old.
Speaker 2:WTF buzzer. I love it. Well, what were we talking about? Again? Video games, I don't know.
Speaker 4:I was going from video games to Duck Hunter. That's how it was. But I was saying whatever happened in the good old days where you just take the cassette out and just blow into it and then now it all works again and everything's fine you know, Now they're tapping into your IP address, they're getting all your information and now they want to charge you by the hour.
Speaker 2:Do you know what I like? So I know Caesar's played Call of Duty before, have you?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I've played it. Like I said, I'm not very good at it, so I go back to what I'm good at I like to drink beer.
Speaker 2:But you know, when you do the Warzone, the Battle Royale stuff and you're in, you know you've you got your squad of people and then you see all the other squads. I can pick who the other military people are that are playing just by how they're yep, yep, I like, I, I'm like, yeah, those people, that's not a kid, that's some marine or some ranger because they're they're doing like they, they're conducting themselves like they would on an off it's kind of strange yeah man yeah yeah, then they did like, in their squad they'll have one guy on oversight.
Speaker 2:Yep, you know what I mean then. Then they have like, uh, you know, as they're committing an assault, how they're doing it, it's like what the I'm up to see me.
Speaker 4:I'm down. Yeah, man, you can totally see it, dude.
Speaker 2:Yep, totally see it.
Speaker 3:Well, what's funny is I ain't going to lie with one of the games I played. We were talking about it earlier, about the realism of it. You could jump in there with squads and I was actually playing with a and he was pretty much teaching me how to play the game. And he's like, hey, I'm going to need you to stay up here cover me. I'm going to come down here, I'm going to see if I can push this guy out into the open. And he's doing all this. And I'm like, hey, did you serve? And he's like no, I've just been playing this game enough that I know how to get people to come out when I need them. Especially when I'm playing with someone else. It makes it easier because then they could watch from the hillside.
Speaker 3:I was like it's called overwatch and now I play with them and he's in the army, he's a infantry guy, and he's like, hey, I need you over here on the six. And I was like, all right, I'll come up. He's like, all right, I'm gonna run down there, probably about a click, because in the game there's actually like markers where you can look. He's like, hey, I need you to look at your, your pull it out to this azimuth and I'll look and I'll turn and I'm like all right, I'm looking that way. He's like all right, just pay attention, right there there might be a guy that comes out. And sure enough, there's some guy runs across the map.
Speaker 3:I'm just like dude, what the hell happened to you. You're gone for like two years.
Speaker 2:I jump back on the game and like if they go into the military or depending on what job they go into, I'll bet you that stuff they can compare. It gives them something to compare with. I'll bet which is ridiculous.
Speaker 4:I'd also bet that he hasn't spent his V-book yet he hasn't well, actually he did.
Speaker 2:I was talking to him did he tell you he's lost his virginity?
Speaker 3:Not his virginity.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 4:Did you invite him to your wedding?
Speaker 3:He popped that other cherry that most people do while they're still the butthole. No, they got married Sorry.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, so it was the butthole.
Speaker 3:So it was the butthole. So it had been two years since I had talked to him. And then when I jumped on the other day this was probably actually in November I jumped back on and I saw him on there. He was like one of my friends. I was like hey, bud, do you remember me? He's like, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:I was like how's everything going?
Speaker 3:I was like I was going pretty good. I was like how's the Army going?
Speaker 2:if you're gonna join us, sir, okay, let me first just state this I love all of our services, but if you are going to join a service, why would you join the?
Speaker 3:army.
Speaker 2:His dad was an army, that's right I mean there's only, actually, there's only a couple reasons which would be SF Ranger something like that right, yeah. Other than that, why would you join the Army? I don't know.
Speaker 3:So he specifically went for that Because I asked him about that. I was like, hey, how's Ranger school? How did everything go? He's like I didn't get selected and I was like, did they tell you why? He's like it was a peer review. That fucked me up.
Speaker 4:Not a team player.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I was like all right, and I was like well, it is what it is, I get you every time. Yeah, so he was kind of bummed out about that. But then I kept talking to him. I was like all right, so what have you been up to? He congrats man. He's like and I'm divorced now and I was like my man. That was in the last two years he's like yeah, I was married for about six months and I came back after a hop yeah, and she was with someone else.
Speaker 3:I was like same, bro, same yes, I was like oh man, I'm sorry to hear that he's like that's all right, but well, the thing is is like with the army.
Speaker 2:It's not like the people that go in the army are all great Americans. They're just as hard as anybody else, right? It's just the army treats them like shit man. They're just too big.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and like, small unit leadership is out the window unless you're in a small unit. And let's just be honest, we all know, because you guys were on aircraft crew and things like that Small unit leadership is where the benefit is in the military, like that's where the real learning is and that's where you become a different person, you're modeled and you're shaped into a different person for the better. But when you go in big Army or big Marine Corps or big Navy and you don't have that and Army is the worst of them all because they're the biggest the benefit is only like and I say only college, because I don't even think that's a benefit. But that's why people do it and they're not. They're not going for the challenge, they're not going for, um, you know, patriotism, they're doing it for college or something like that, but they're just not getting the benefit in the army unless you, you, you go into one of those specified fields where you're going to have a takeaway from small unit leadership.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean and I hear some people doing it for the rt charger oh, was that 25 interest?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, makes sense I'm gonna tell man, are you talking about 25% interest on a car?
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Just go to the dealerships, you just go to the dealerships right outside base.
Speaker 4:No credit, no problem.
Speaker 2:Look, man, I was one of those dudes. You had a Mustang, didn't you? No, I had a Toyota pickup truck with 35-inch tires that I just took out in the mud.
Speaker 4:But I had bad credit yeah.
Speaker 2:So I went outside of Camp Lejeune and I got ripped off and I got this truck that I just loved, lemon, I was one of those dudes man.
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, I was the same way.
Speaker 2:You remember my old?
Speaker 4:truck man. I put these mud grapplers on this thing, man. We changed what two?
Speaker 3:freaking rotors on on my truck. We had to change the the driver's side wheel, the, the hub assembly itself yeah hey, I got a picture on my phone. He's got what's left of the freaking hub assembly in one hand, shredded like and I was like dude I don't even know, how you were able to drive.
Speaker 4:Let me tell you what though that thing never got stuck. Yeah, never got stuck my, my, uh.
Speaker 2:My truck always got stuck, but there was always for one reason um, like one of the, I'd have to pop the hood, like we'd be in like knee-deep water in the swamps and, uh, there was a fuse. I'd have to wiggle the fuse. We'd be in knee-deep water in the swamps and there was a fuse. I'd have to wiggle the fuse and it'd start right back up. But you know what the funny thing is? Somewhere in Jacksonville I don't know where I was going my truck broke down and I pulled into this parking lot and there was a car dealership right next door and I walked over to the car dealership and I said I want to trade my truck in. It's over there, it ain't running. And I traded it in along with my balls for a Sebring. No, no, no, yeah, yeah, that car was good man. It took me cross country when I had orders out to Pendleton man. I, yeah, yeah, that car was good man. It took me cross country when I had orders out to Pendleton man. I drove all the way out to Pendleton.
Speaker 4:In a Sebring.
Speaker 2:With all my things. I lived in that car, jesus.
Speaker 3:How long did that drive take you?
Speaker 2:Well, I mean it should have only took me four days, but there were a lot of casinos, indian casinos along the way native american yeah, native american. Yes, um, yeah, yeah, so bounced a lot of checks on the way out there there's some brands looking, looking for them right now.
Speaker 3:Hell yeah, dude, I can't talk shit, man.
Speaker 4:My first car, you know, coming in the marincor, I had a nissan centra 2001. Baby man, I had blue led lights inside that sucker. I had two tenant. I had two 10, 10 inch subs in the trunk, the minx is loving this.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. So for any listeners or viewers, that is the Minx cackling in the background.
Speaker 4:She's forbidden to do that in her bedroom. I did, but then, you know, I came back from deployment and I had you know.
Speaker 3:I had deployment money.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I saw five, I upgraded. I finally saw five digits in my bank account. I was like, hey, so I bought a truck, oh, deployment money, yeah. And then one day, uh, you know, I bought the truck and I spent money on dumb things.
Speaker 1:You know, the money didn't last but a few months, like LED lights in your truck.
Speaker 2:Yeah man, that was awesome. And strippers Badass man it stroked to the music.
Speaker 4:It did, it did.
Speaker 2:I think the studio lights here do that. Yeah, but so one day.
Speaker 4:I'm sitting in the barracks parking lot in my truck and I'm just on my phone. I'm just sitting in my truck and one of my sergeants walks by. He's like, hey, what's wrong you bought? You spent all that money buying that truck. Now you can't afford gas. And I was like, nah, fuck you. Well, he was right. I had a couple days where I couldn't put gas in it, dude I.
Speaker 2:But I had a truck man, so I never did this in north carolina, um. But when I went to california, um, I was one of those dudes that because all I wanted to do, I was so immature man, I, I belong, you know, I was part of a unit that I shouldn't even been at, um, all I wanted to do is just party, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And so I was going to those little paycheck places, dude, and getting my advance pay where they rip you off dude, because I'd be like I'm going out tonight I don't give a fuck, and then I'd go do that like I was doing that. All I did some stupid shit I never did that.
Speaker 4:I I would just always go to the drunkest person in our group and be like, hey, man, you should buy shots everybody. And then they would. I didn't have a group out.
Speaker 2:I still do that dude, I didn't have like when I first moved out there, man, I didn't like. You know, they're my brothers and they're my best friends, um, a lot of them now but you know, we didn't know each other when I first got out there and I was just kind of by myself. So I started working at a bar out there. Those the bar people were my friends, right, which bar? It's called rookies.
Speaker 3:It's an oceanside, yeah is this the one on right, right down the fame street on the as uh the theater?
Speaker 2:right there, yeah, yeah I've yeah at some point you guys sports bar, yeah, at some point you guys, stop laying boots in. Yeah, man.
Speaker 3:You'd see that tan line and you guys would be like, no, you're not allowed to come in here.
Speaker 2:Well, no, I mean rookies was like a lot of Marines went in there, but I made a lot of friends, a lot of friends that I still talk to to this day a couple of them but I was in party mode, man, and I wanted to go out, so I was trying to make extra money there being a bar back, and then I would go to this paycheck place and give them my paycheck, and then they'd give me my paycheck and I'd have to pay them 30% of it Some stupid fucking ripoffs. Like now, when I look back at that, I just want to go there and just at least give them a wedgie, if not break their nose and be like you ripoffs. You, son of a bitch, you took advantage of me. Oh, my goodness, damn. Yeah, good times, though, man, I wouldn't take them back, because they're all good learning lessons and you know what? I know all the stupid shit I've ever done, and you already have a kid. You're going to have lots of kids.
Speaker 4:Let's just face it You're going to have like a basketball team. A soccer team.
Speaker 1:And maybe football, football Football.

Speaker 4:Oh, he's fucked.
Speaker 2:I'm going to be like I know what you're doing, dude. You just went to some asshole and you let him take 30% of your paycheck so he can give you money to go out and buy someone some drinks. I know it, yeah, so I'm gonna know when that happens, I'm gonna know it do you think he's gonna join the marine corps? No, no, I won't let him join the marine corps he doesn't like to be uncomfortable, he will he will.
Speaker 2:That's gonna change. He'll grow out of that? I think yeah, he definitely will, but a lot of things in our military currently have to change before. Like I love the people that serve, I will never not back them, but you don't know who you do your. Let me just put it this way you don't know who you're doing your bidding for right now.
