| 0:00.0 | Today we are getting close to Mario's 40th anniversary wow. |
| 0:16.0 | We're going to be talking about what we think Nintendo is up to, what they're planning, |
| 0:19.9 | what they're going to be doing to celebrate |
| 0:21.9 | this big milestone. And we have some really fun stories about when we worked on Mario's |
| 0:28.0 | 25th anniversary. That was a long time ago. Like us, Mario is also over the hill. |
| 0:34.4 | Yes, we're old. There's a lot. Listen, it's been a bit of a slower summer. It has. For Nintendo fans, but it feels like between this, we've got the rumors of this Nintendo Direct, things are picking up. We are watching very closely. Get excited. Very closely. Yes. Can you believe it's September? No. What happened? I don't know. Yeah, it's weird because... |
| 0:55.0 | Time passed. |
| 0:56.3 | Time did pass, but it was like a weird cadence, I feel like, because the beginning |
| 1:00.5 | of this year, we were sort of all anticipating this, like, switch to launch, and then |

| 1:08.7 | That launch period, the two months or whatever that we lived through |
| 1:12.0 | was a total blur. And then summer felt slow, but then all of a sudden summer is like over. |
| 1:19.2 | So I don't know what happened. What's happening? We always like to say that packs, the event |
| 1:25.6 | packs, is the end, marks the end of summer. |
| 1:28.2 | It's true. |
| 1:28.8 | So I know technically there's a few more weeks left. Yeah, but it just feels like the transition. Halloween stuff when I was out this weekend. I was like, oh, here we go. The pumpkin spice latte is available. Oh, the PSL. It's available. The PSL is back, yes. Yes. So all of this is in preparation for Shocktober, which is coming in just a few short weeks. So you need to start to mentally prepare for the impact of Shoktober because it's coming. You have to gird your loins. And I'm not joking. The rest of the year is going to go very quickly. From here on, it's going to be, before you know it, we're going to be in a tuxedo |
| 2:01.9 | doing game of the year. |
| 2:03.1 | Before you know it. |
| 2:04.1 | Should I wear a tuxedo this year? |
| 2:13.8 | Whatever, you can wear whatever you want. That would fun. I'm already excited for that. You wear a ball gown. I wear a tuxedo. Interesting. I'm very excited for that, though. I think we need to do more. |
