Hey, what's going on everybody? Hi, welcome to the show. It's the Jeff

Gersman show. This is a podcast about video games. Hello, I'm Jeff

Gersman, your host. This is the first true episode of the show. Thanks

everyone for listening. Thanks for watching. Thanks for joining us. It's been a

very fascinating chunk of time here and I am looking forward to getting into it.

I burned up all of my good non-video game stories during the pre-show banter.

And so as a result, segment one is just fucking shot, man. Hey, what's going on? So,

so yeah, it's been a bit of a wild time. It's getting warmer and we are trying to teach

our daughter how to swim as she is just about three now. And we have successfully changed

swim lesson places after having a, you know, I guess, I don't know, just this long drive,

as we got, we went to somewhere closer, a closer pool. But we also have access to a pool that

does not get used very often. It's just it's a little ways away. And so I am looking forward to

doing some swimming. Can you tell it's hot in this room? By the way, I'm immediately talking

about, man, swimming is fucking great. Swimming is outstanding. So yeah, I guess, you know, episode

one, let's start from the get go. I'm Jeff. I've been covering video games for a very long time.

Am I going to live react to the sonic stream that's happening right now? Absolutely not.

But, you know, I wish them the best. I heard nice things about that game. And then a lot of that

footage came out. And people, people seem very up in arms about the sonic frontiers stuff.

And I've only caught this kind of second hand because I've not watched the state of play.

Because after the record of this podcast here live, I'm doing this live, by the way,

if you're listening to this later, we're broadcasting it live on Twitch right now.
