Could have used a dinklage.

0:01.9

Could have used a floating dinklage that accompanied me all about marathon.

0:08.7

Oh, yeah.

0:09.7

And would sort of, you know, quit drop cracks, bring him back to life if I died.

0:14.6

Do you understand how deep into the destiny hole you would need to be to know that Peter Dinklage at one point but no longer voiced the

0:23.1

ghost that followed you around in Destiny?

0:25.3

I actually downloaded an update.

0:30.4

To fix it.

0:31.6

I downloaded an update to fix it because they did swap him out with Nolan North in 2015.

0:35.6

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:36.4

But then I found an update online.

0:39.2

Did you pay Peter Dinkwich a cameo?

0:42.0

So, yes, it was a very, very complicated.

0:44.2

So basically what I had to do,

You could probably slot in some of those lines. Oh, for sure. For sure. No problem. Yeah, I could probably take lines from his other movies that sound like, like maybe there's a movie where he's a doctor and he's like, I'll heal him up. And you can put that on the healing robot. But I think a dinklage would have bumped this up to a 10 for me. That's the dream. Just a question about the cameras, because I hate to like dwell on it. Yeah. Did it get annoying that every line was like, I think you should heal up.

1:49.9

Thank you for another cameo, Griffin.

1:55.5

Well, no, sometimes if it was a short one like that, you can trick him into saying, he won't just do it.
