Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the giant beast cast. This is episode 20. I think it's 20. Yep. I think it's 22. All right. I know it's 20. It's 20. It's not 22.

Exactly. It is October 9th Friday. We made it. Episode 2 0. Yeah. Plus there's a bonus war beginning. That was like the test once. That's really 21. Old enough party, baby. I'm joined by Austin Walker. Jeff Backler. Alchivaro is out enjoying life. I'll let him talk all about it when he gets back. Blow up his little vacation. Yes. But we do have rich kids.

Hey, how are you doing? Hey, that's good. I'm great. Rich, I went to, I went to pod fest in LA. Uh-huh. Podcast festival. And then at the pod fest, there was like this documentary. And you know, it was really, it was nicely done. I believe it's coming out soon. And in it, they are like, hey, we're going to interview. We're going to talk to you. You know, I'll make up a name. Mike and the wall, right?

I've been podcasting since the beginning, since 2008. 2008. I know I could think it was probably a little early. Well, I could think of as like, man, that's when I stopped. I was rich. For those who don't know, Rich, I've known Rich Gallup for at least 10 years. But he used to, in addition to being a video producer over at GameSpot hosted the hot spot. The original podcast. It was the second video game podcast.

The first video game. I don't remember, but we very stopped. I think the giant beast cast. Yeah, but that was it. 20 years in, yeah, no podcasting. Well, we keep reinventing ourselves. We're like the David Bowie of podcasts.

Uh, so Rich has been at this for a while. He's now over at, um, still podcast. He's now over at Disruptor Beam. Uh, let's get the formalities out of the way. Rich, what are you doing over at Disruptor Beam?

Sure. Disruptor Beam. We have, uh, two games. Actually, well, then there's another game that I'm not supposed to talk about. So I won't, but, uh, Game of Thrones

Ascent is our game that's live right now. Lots of people playing that all over the place on their phones and tablets and computers. And our game.

The currently development is Star Trek Timelines, a CBS really affiliated property. It's true. What a great property that they really know how to make a

Star movie. Was it always CBS? Yeah. Paramount is involved as well.

Because I bet you deal with the licensing department quite a bit. So like, do you have to go back? Do you know the whole story

about like who? Yeah. Like when's a broadcast like CBS?

Yeah. If I did, it's because I read a Wikipedia page. My job just like, hey, these nice people. Can we put this stuff in our game?

Sure. They say yes. Like, for example, like, we had, we needed a female cling on. And I said, we said, maybe we should use the time

Gabrielle Union was a female cling on. And that went up. So did you say? Half the people I work with have no idea who she is. But, uh, I said, maybe we can't

because there's some people we can't get likeness rights for, but it's like 99% you can. I was like, nah, we're no way we can get Gabrielle Union. And we do.

Thanks. How does that asset delivery work? Uh, well, I'm very curious about stuff like that.

So we, uh, you know, the whole pipeline or just like, how do you get it? How does it come delivered? Is it just like a, like, well, we get

we go and get ourselves like off Netflix. Like we're doing screenshots and stuff. Yeah. But there is a ton of stuff. I thought there's

like this vault they had. So there is that. Okay. And where we're dipping that most, which I think we'll tie in later to one of

Austin's conversation topics is with audio. Okay. So there's this CBS audio vault. I don't know if you guys know where it is, because I don't, but

basically we said we would love to look right next to my desk. Awesome. Yeah. We would love this clip of this app. We want, we want
