| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, hey, time to put your middle to the test now. |
| 0:05.0 | Laura, how many times have you given someone a boost to get up onto a ledger over a wall? |
| 0:27.6 | I mean, you know, in my more rebellious youth, I used to, you know, give people a boost up over some fences so we could go hang out on the beach that you weren't meant to go to. |
| 0:38.2 | Because no one patrolled that beach, you could go drink down there. That required boosting people up. |
| 0:42.6 | There are, you've done some boosts. Conrad, how many boosts have you done in your life? |
| 0:46.3 | I mean, I'm, I'm normally the boostie. |
| 0:49.6 | How many boosts have you taken? Oh, probably a few dozen. |
| 0:55.0 | Few dozen. Yeah. Yeah. I've gone into some places that needed boosts. |
| 1:01.0 | Why do video games think it's such a huge life skill? I've done it so many more time. I've pointed |
| 1:07.4 | this out before, but I was just playing The Evil Within 2, the last place I expected, |
| 1:16.4 | to have to boost someone, like hours and hours into it. And it reminds me every time it happens that I have boosted or been boosted so many times in video games, so many more times than I've |
| 1:23.0 | ever been in real life, and certainly not as an adult. I'm an adult. I mean, as an adult, I'll agree with |
| 1:29.5 | you, but as a teenager, I think I might have boosted in real life more times than I have boosted |
| 1:37.0 | in video games, mayhapes. Oh. What sheltered life am I living? Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, |
| 1:44.0 | think about all the video games. Just in The Last of Us alone, how many times did you boost? One game on its own can give you a dozen boosts. Maybe, maybe I'm underestimating, but I did do a lot of boosting people up to places they weren't supposed to be in my teenage years. I'm not saying some people haven't boosted more in real life than they boosted more in a video game. You may have. It shouldn't be as close as it is. It shouldn't be as close as it is. But video games make it look like boosting is the most crucial of all life skills. They don't teach you how to file your taxes. I know exactly how to interlock my thinkers and sort of it. |
| 2:19.1 | I mean, look, video games have never taught me to pay my taxes |
| 2:21.8 | or file my taxes, but they have taught me tax evasion. |
| 2:24.6 | Thanks, turn it, boy. |
| 2:26.0 | Turn it, boy, you're looking out for the every person in all of us. |
| 2:30.7 | Ripping up letters from the IRS. |
| 2:32.7 | I wish I could. |
