This is Gary Butterfield. This is Cole Ross.

And this is a very weird episode of Watter for Fireballs.

That requires some explanation.

Yes it does.

Yes.

So people will understand if they know kind of what's been happening over the past couple months that we did a live show about punch out for the NES.

Yes, we did this at the Austin Classic Games Fest in beautiful sweltering Austin, Texas.

The surface of the sun.

It was a fun show and we captured audio from it, but as we referenced a couple

times, the Austin Classic Game Fest made the bewildering decision to put their live music in the same room as their panels.

And what that meant was the entire show there is a very loud rock band

playing.

So if you want to mimic this, well you can go listen to the free episode on Patreon,

or you can just put very loud, very compressed symbols on in the background.

Yeah, just throw on some noise core in the background

and listen to us.

So what we did, we, you know, actually during the show,

everyone could hear us fine and we could hear ourselves

and it was fine. The recording turned out messier than we're comfortable with.

Even after like Cole put in a heroic effort trying to do noise reduction and kind of

try to massage it, but it's still hard to make out what we're

saying at points I feel like. So what that episode is around there are jokes in
