What is going on everybody welcome back to another episode of the kind of funny x cast your home for all things Xbox.

Here at kind of funny of course I'm one of your host Snowbike Mike and today you're celebrating a very special milestone 100 episodes of the funny x cast and of course it wouldn't be possible without these two incredible co-hosts here on the screen with me if you're watching you recognize a very familiar face coming back celebrate the big milestone a good friend of mine a good friend of all of ours and someone who made this all possible the incredible.

A lot of peers a lot of how are you today. I'm doing great. This is like weirdly kind of nostalgic seeing like the intro and watching all this through discord because I realize that when I was doing the show was in a very bad part of the pandemic where I was in a tiny studio apartment 300 square foot by myself no balcony no breeze no direct sunlight. It's like a little box but this is like a shining point of every week I got to hang out with you and just a positive Mike and it was like a wonderful wonderful thing to do in a really like crappy period of time.

It was like yeah just like that nostalgia just hit me as I was watching the whole intro and discord it's cool. That's awesome a lot of because I have the nostalgia of course I got to see you a little bit beforehand but once the intro rolled I got the butterflies I got the nerves all over again of like a lot of piercesters here Gary would of course he's not here but I could feel it like it was episode who needs a lot of instincts because we got you of course I'm going to get to Paris but it was Gary birth it was Gary with his 50th birthday yesterday.

I didn't tell him happy birthday. I think all one of my gaming dads because I was going to save it here for the show and then he didn't show up today. So Gary with if you hear this happy birthday you are truly incredible and the ex-cats his memory is going he doesn't know when next past records anymore.

How's he supposed to keep up exactly someone's got to call him is right but happy about the guy I'm sorry.

We have Paris Lilly here as well Paris one of my gaming dads you have been riding along with me for almost I think 84 episodes of my added it all up right. We've had a couple of many episodes in between so it's been more than that but

Paris Lilly it's great to see you how are you doing today.

I'm doing fantastic and you and I actually got to meet in person finally at the As Does Falls event last week in Los Angeles so it was great for us to actually meet face to face.

And even a lot of first of all I'm so happy that you're here I am not here if it wasn't for you so so thank you so much yeah we never have a left on the show did we are I was like but make it Paris have it be Paris.

Yeah I left and you've done a great job it's been so awesome to watch you both no no thank you but but it's it's ironic that Gary isn't here and you are here because that's how all this started right Gary was out I came in and I filled in one time and the rest is history yeah and you and I even got to meet face to face for what at the game awards first

and then I think briefly during summer game fest as well correct so we're coming out of pandemic a little bit but I'm so happy you're here no only once we had to think about yeah yeah

one of that of Max West I saw you go into the same hotel as I was and I was like a lot of you're amazing and you wave back at me and that was our time together.

It counts so definitely counts but yes I have met Paris a couple of times and yeah I have been tuning in on the show I still think it was very funny to watch all of the killer instinct stuff.

Very big fan of seeing that oh yes oh yes we learned a valuable lesson on that one so funny because I had said something vaguely similar like when I was at IGN back when the lost killer instinct came out I was like was is there a big audience to this game

I know because I never really played killer instinct and I was like oh no Paris what are you doing I quickly learned there's definitely an audience for killer instinct.

We've really we've come together we've built up an audience here in the kind of funny ex cast especially a kind of funny you know a lot of you me and Gary when we first started this we talked about coming on to kind of funny and doing an Xbox

centric podcast because really kind of funny has been known for being very PlayStation heavy with all their coverage and we had to bring a little green into the studio and it was really special to try something different at kind of

funny and also to create memories and to build up an audience that is really interested and excited talking about Xbox so it wouldn't be possible without all of you and I'm really excited to have you on

Alana and of course Paris because this episode we're going to reminisce we're going to talk all about the show all about some of our favorite memories we're going to catch up with what Alana's been up to because you know he's been doing truly incredible stuff and then Alana you're going to get a good smile because if you remember one of my heroes one of my favorite people on

planet earth was major Nelson and on my first ever video game industry interview was major Nelson on episode three I was not ready for that but we had a ton of fun and so this week I get to relive that moment we're going to have major

Nelson on the back half of the show where I get to hang out with him so be a really special time but let's get into the housekeeping so we can jump right into the fun of course this is the kind of funny
