Brad?

Hi.

I bought something extremely stupid.

Okay. I love the conversation that starts. That is classic podcast fodder. Yeah. Proceed. Extremely stupid. So you know Super Mario Wonder. You're familiar. Yes. The elephant game. Yeah, it's the Mario elephant. But it also has those little flowers in the background that talk to you the entire time. And when I was on the Nintendo website the other day buying my copy of Pokedopium, I saw an

impulse purchase item that was a pre-order that I could not pass up.

So I have it right here.

Wow.

Man.

It's one of the little, one little Super Mario Wonder flowers.

We kind of look alike, huh?

Wow, they sure do.

Flower.

They say the ocean tastes like tears.

Wow.

Wow.

And it just does that.

I'll keep quiet for a while.

How many does it have?

I don't know, man.

I've heard the ocean tastes like tears one once or twice. But the thing about it is it's also a clock. Oh. So it has a real-time clock in it. Okay, but we should note it has no display. So I think there's only one way that it can communicate the time to you. Yeah. So when you set your wake up time, it says in the morning a different one every day.

But like yesterday it was three, two, one. It's time to wake up now. Wow. Which happened while my wife and I were both out of the house and my daughter was around. And she thought the like the world was ending because it was a countdown, you know, bomb countdown or something like that. It's like, I don't think he's going to bomb our house.

But anyway, it just talks incessantly the entire time. They took, wait, does it talk on its own even when you don't activate? Oh, yeah. Wait, it just, oh. Hmm. They took what I thought, when I played that game, I thought, wow, these flowers are really annoying. Yeah, they're very chatty.
