Pickax.

Five, four, three, two.

What's up, everybody?

Welcome to episode 925 of the Video Game Outsiders podcast.

I'm one of your host, Michelle Madison.

And I, of course, am your John Jacobson.

And joining us once again, Michelle. Oh, stop. Will, Michelle. Stop. Ryan is here. Ryan the intern has joined us again. How is he going? You don't always have to introduce the Canadians. I'm a little out of it. I'm a little tired, but I'm ready to talk about Battlefield 6. It's an odd day. Yeah, well, we had like a little rainstorm here today.

So I was like watching my drain all day. I'm like, oh my God, it's going to over flood. Watching your drain? Yeah, it's like, this isn't looking good, you know? No basement kind of thing in Kelly? Yeah, no, we don't have basements here. I really miss basements. That sounds bad. but I just miss the basements of, you know, like underground, like, or even like I had a

raised ranch growing up so it was like half underground, but you could store so much shit there. Anyway. So we're not here to talk about basements or liking them, right? Oh yeah, late Thanksgiving. Krell says for you, Ryan, I know you're doing the Canadian Thanksgiving the other day. All the Canadians out there. It was great. What are you thinking? Yeah, what do you appreciate? The same exact reason that you guys have Thanksgiving just up here and it happened a little bit earlier. To get annoyed by our mothers. That's why we have Thanksgiving around here. Coming back from college and being forced to eat turkey. I don't really love turkey. Yeah. We'll do our Thanksgiving special in November on the real Thanksgiving that you're going to be a part of. The actual one. Well, the turkey's been messaging me and the witch. Oh. It's getting a little much. Yeah, that's right. Halloween show is coming up soon. They show that so many new listeners turn into and they get so pissed off at John. It's their first episode and they hate it. They get so mad at John. So yeah, we're going to have a fun month. Well, the witch is asking a lot about Matt. Like, is he really going to be there? I heard what happened with him. And he's been replaced with a lesser guy. So is he going to come and? Whoa. I think he already did. I don't't know what he just said but the witch had a little

crush on matt so yeah we'll get to that at the Halloween show as far as tonight okay we've like

i said we got that battlefield six round table coming up but also we have two copies of the phantom

edition for xbox so that's like the hundred dollar big one to give away no listen this is a heavy duty giveaway and this is like this has like the battle pass and all that's like the $100 big one to give away. No, listen, this is a heavy duty giveaway.

And this is like, this has like the battle pass and all that shit. Like, yeah, this is the big, the real deal, Holyfield, as they used to say in some rap song that I can't remember, but it's from loaded. So if you want to win games weekly from Loaded, formally CD keys, you can head down to our discord on video game outsiders.com. We got Xbox this week. Normally we do a lot of steam stuff.

Okay. So Xbox users, I'd love to see you down on the Discord. We got like none of you guys around anymore defending Xbox or talking about Xbox anymore. So come on down to Win Battlefield 6, the Phantom Edition, from Loaded.com. What else? That's right. Hell yeah. Oh, we should also say Lipson is done.

The app is done. No more new episodes on that. They killed it. Caput. So if you want to support us,

you can do so on Supercast. And also, we have decided that no more mid-show ads, we want to be

listener supported. We figured it was good timing with Lipson ending support. A lot of you guys don't have access to that anymore and you haven't signed up for Supercast yet. So we want to focus on being listener-supported to not interrupt the show for the free listeners with ads. So if you want to say thank you, you can support us on Supercast at videogame outsiders.com, the red button. You get the weekly bonus shows, the 20-year-back catalog. And we do a lot of fun stuff. There's going to be a cooking outsiders next month. Roger and Sally are swinging by with midnight caller in a couple weeks, I think. That's right. October. Where are they going this year? I don't know. They're on a road trip. I think they're going under the ocean. Oh, okay. There's a lot of UFO activity down there.

Hopefully somebody, not with the submarine in that, whatever. But yeah, John, how do they do that? A lot of UFO activity in space and everything. There's so much going on. That's right. Go to our website, video game outsiders.com. When you get there, you can go premium. There's a red dripping button. It's kind of gross but oh like use a pen or something and just click on it

go the next page sign up and go premium once you're a member of club VGO you unlock the entire

back catalog of 20 over 20 years now of this stupid show and all the bonus stuff we do every week

like Michelle said you know we do PC outsiders we We do PC outsiders this week, I think. Yeah. John, we should say you can listen in your player of choice. So you can. Yeah. So with the old way, you had to use the Lipson app, which was ancient, you know, and now you can use whatever you want. Spotify, YouTube music. Can't use Stitcher, though, it's gone. But everything else. Sadly. Winamp, you could take an RSS feed and plug it, whatever you want. Put it somewhere. Within reason. All right. So go to video game outsiders.com and go premium. And like Michelle said, we're not doing the mid-roll ads anymore. So it's ad-free. We want you guys to support us the old-fashioned way. I don't, I've always, ads never sat right with me, but that's just me. I know I'm crazy. Everybody does it. Yeah. All right. We got a lot of ground to cover Michelle. We do. We do. Because it's a big show.

Okay.
