The

The Salutation, everybody, it is Maddie here today, and welcome to episode 251 of Defining Duke and Xbox podcast. Cog, I like the shirt.

I wonder what's on your mind today. How are you doing, my friend? Feeling good. I'm feeling good.

Me too. Me too. I feel good. I mean, I am busy as hell, but it's one of those things, I am so overwhelmed, but everything is kind of a blessing. So I really can't be complaining because I'm like, I know what the alternative could be if I wasn't. So that's what's going on with me, man. And we got a we got some family return. Yeah. Familiar face. Ben Smith. How are you, my friend? What's up, boys? It's great to be back. I like to think I'm just like that weird inlaw that pops in every now and then. But you love them, but like, you're not used to seeing them either. So I'm happy to be here. Yeah. Thanks for having me. And worse, I'm excited to chat. Of course. Yeah. Ben, Ben put in this special request a couple of weeks ago, you guys. He wanted to talk a little bit about the game he's known best for, Car Wash simulator. It's funny, Maddie, because like I am, I, not that I've had like a ton of time anyway, but I'm not someone who so when I when I was done at LSM you were like anytime you want to be on the show just hit me up you're you're on and like I'm I haven't had anything that I was like super passionate about but I'm also not the kind of person who would invite myself but when your game came up I was like Maddie I mean Yeah, I have to be more proactive about that because I put it in your hands. I'm like, okay, he knows. But I also get like when I'm in that situation, like I probably would do the same exact thing. Yeah, no, yeah. It's awesome to have you here, though. And very, very excited to talk to you about it because you made that request. And so we've restructured the show lightly, for those who are listening. Ben's got a hard out in a couple hours from here.

So we just want to make... it because you made that request. And so we've restructured the show lightly, for those who are listening.

Ben's got a hard out in a couple hours from here. So we just want to make sure we get him in for what he's here for. He's here to tell you about the good word of the power wash simulators out there. Or maybe bad word. I don't know. I know you made a video on it, though, Ben. So I haven't seen that yet. But that's also up on your channel.

People want to check that one out.

But we'll talk about that.

We'll kind of do health as well. Ben, so I haven't seen that yet, but that's also up on your channel. People want to check that one

out. But we'll talk about that. We'll kind of do health as well, write-ins, and then we'll do what we're playing actually to open the show. And maybe the audience likes that. They want to have that first before the news. I don't know. We'll see. This is where experimenting's fun. We're obviously in a, we're like Xbox, we're in a very

experimental phase.

Figuring things out.

Figuring it out. Yeah, of course.

Before we begin, though, just a quick update, an update on an update on an update, right? We've had writings about this every week. A lot of you want to know about the future of the Duke. So this is our final update on the future of the Duke because at a certain point, it's, you know, we've talked about it to death and there's nothing for y'all to worry about. So by the way, you can write on patreon.com slash last damn media early ad free access every Thursday. Otherwise, we'll see you on Sunday on free feeds. Neo J.D. has the first writer in the show. Duke's boss man Colin mentioned you both had talks with him by the future of the show going

forward.

Anything you guys want to share right now?

I think it's safe to say most of us just want you two to continue together regardless

of what you end up talking about.

Thanks and have a Xbox finally dies so creepy cog can come out and play, kind of day.

I'm not going to the 10 do you.

Yeah, the twist his arm a little bit more.

So, yeah, I just wanted to, we talked just yesterday, actually a funny story. I was very late to our meeting. I completely, you know, when you get just absorbed by your work, you know, so I'm like, I add it on my planner, like, meet with Colin at 1 p.m.
