Ending The Simpsons, Improving Baseball, and Making Zelda Woke - Mega64 Podcast

[@ericbaudour]

“Can we get this podcast back on track” yeah dude sorry for all the fun

[@1337m33p]

Pfffft

[@joshualioi5144]

man, anyone tell you, you look a LOT like the guy I watch weekly doing wrestling manager bits? Same name too! Crazy!

[@JJRamone2]

“Suck off and die” is an instant classic

[@Astronomy1337]

peak thumbnail era

[@mojavecyclone]

I know the light going out was an accident at 42:04 but it looked unintentionally cooler with everyone having half a shadow cast across their faces with the dark blue lighting in the back.

[@carlosguillermo566]

Agreed. Seems a bit more in tune with the classic bonfire set. Mega64's vibe somehow always fits with dimly-lit places

[@dasutin]

I would love it if the culmination of Chatfield on the Mound is Shawn throwing out a banana for a joke game.

[@DangerMenace]

So, we're gonna save Shawn's Tao Pai Pai scavenger hunt for Patreon, or...?

[@MultiBeautifulDays]

the first 18 minutes of this podcast may be the most delirious it’s ever made me feel

[@sumguy3687]

44:27 They wanted to: "remove as many fantasy elements as possible. We didn’t just want to appeal to THAT type of fan.” because they wanted to appeal to & I quote: "mothers, & NFL players" Now they work for netflix pitching ideas, trapped in writters room purgatory. Never getting anything green-lit Like "What if the south won the civil war & we had modern day slavery?

[@DangerMenace]

They also admitted to torturing a baby so they could film it's penis while having it on an ice block for some reason.

[@willthered9385]

Get johnny a dang mic!

Get Johnny dang a mic!

[@El-Burrito]

I really enjoyed Derrick's chat on I Saw The TV Glow, really glad to hear him back on the show. And obviously Garrett was a part of the conversation too, big appreciate him too!

[@jwbartle]

1:32:42 for talk about Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

[@TheJohnston65]

736 is crazy. Whenever the podcast ends a part of me will be gone

[@Asphaltmonkey0]

It took me until Derrick said cigarettes to realize he was talking about Joe Camel, and not Joke Hamill

[@jordan3972]

I heard the same thing. I thought it was short hand for the Joker voiced by Mark Hamill.

[@TheSeaBase]

That GOT ending wouldve been dope imma email this to gorge martin

[@mikekuj3397]

How did Garrett miss the underlying theme of that movie? I'm not some movie buff but God damn it was right in your face. Still didn't like that movie but Connor O'Malley was in it

[@El-Burrito]

I watch this while a little bit drunk and I laugh a lot. Thank you a lot Mega64

[@nvrndingsmmr]

1:06:33 Hearing "😐 Can we get this podcast back on track? Is that ok? 😐" felt *exactly* like being back at work and getting scolded by a supervisor, except I'm literally in my own home trying to relax and build a Lego set on a Saturday. Awesome. Thanks. Lmfao

[@JacobHTMHF]

Derricks been like that for awhile and I’m not sure why. I get why he does it for the scheduled stream days but the podcast is just like hangin out idk

[@beensupe]

“is that ok??” Like yeah dude it’s fine we’re just chatting whatever

[@Jempai]

It's literally just a joke guys. The bit of shutting down Shawn's sports talk isn't exactly new

[@killerdls]

I’m team no sports talk. It might be fun for sports freaks but I ain’t having it either.

[@lullabypiston]

Still my favorite Simpsons podcast

[@Suedeash]

Only Mr Bean talk please.

[@kilgoretrout8896]

Where’s the garlic jr representation

[@Tamsyn94]

how has it been 2 years since Derrick was makin those cool figures. bruhhh 💀

[@Jimsonez]

Tao Pai Pai is one of the cooler Dragonball Villains. Its a shame OG DB charcters get so looked over in favor of the hot new Super when making rosters for DB videogames

[@HBoggggggggg]

What's so cool about him he's just a wicked man who knows martial arts and wears pink gi?

[@jumbopaulo]

​@@HBogggggggggyou just described the coolest shit

[@cosmosofinfinity]

@@HBoggggggggg Have you not seen his braid? And what he can do with it? (and his tongue)

[@individualvideos]

i saw the tv glow is one my favs of the year. definitely not for everyone, but very queer coded, very personal to the creator. doesnt speak to everyone but if it speaks to you it is highly effective.

[@joshualioi5144]

Dood I'm with Derrick and Rocco. It is nuts, the shower is how I rate hotel rooms these days. Also drove the whole US and the variance of showers is crazy. Graveyards usually boost areas nearby though.

[@peanutbutterrocket]

The little dukers is killing me

[@Stoooopid]

"Death by Doogers" is something I will quote randomly day by day for the rest of my life.

[@nicklambert4781]

There probably should have been some checkpoints, but the Nier Automata intro is 35 minutes, not anywhere near 90.

[@declanmccarthy7809]

perfect thumbnail for combining topics. The Derrick touch!

[@MrXxsnipesXx]

I love nier automata but I don't blame Rocco. I think games should respect your time by at least putting a checkpoint in somewhere. But since it's the quirky 4th wall breaking android game people will give it a pass lol

[@MattVargas]

I think my favorite part of the Progressive woman is that she's just in the outer pool of Tim and Eric so I lit up hearing that.

[@alonsoloera4397]

I was going to do the timestamps but before they played the theme song they talked about how stuff costs more this week so I’m sorry, but not my fault.

[@elegantos1490]

40:24 On that note, I would add that my brother and watch Mad Men on our own and discuss plot points, gags, ideas and so on, until the end, we saw it and didnt bring it up once, 'cause both of us get it, I know it, he knows it, it certanly was a journey.

[@jameslarson3355]

14:32 suddenly interested in Baseball

[@funwithphobias]

I'm a big fan of everyone, especially Derrick who I think is a comedic genius. So let me begin with that. You guys at mega64 have achieved monumental success while staying totally independent and constantly evolving your comedy. However, I feel like the pressure to "succeed" as other's define it can get to you guys occasionally. In every metric you guys are totally successful, no other channel like you has lasted and flourished so well. I imagine it can be hard to see that while in the middle of it though, and I think your early stellar success in the gaming industry set an unreasonably high standard for you guys. It honestly does seem wild that such amazing talented young men weren't given a show on a major network, but I somehow feel you guys are beyond that. Your style and approach to comedy is so unique, I don't think it would have ultimately been a positive experience and may have killed mega64. That and the fact that money for independent comedy and entertainment has largely dried up, I wouldn't blame yourselves. What you're doing is honestly way more impressive than a couple of seasons of corporate TV This brings me to my last point. When Derrick took his hiatus I couldn't wait for him to return. But now that he has I'm not so sure. Derrick has been working so hard his whole life, and that pressure is starting to crack him. The boys are on eggshells around him and his behavior is getting concerning. To speak about myself briefly, I've been seeing a therapist for over 10 years and they've really helped me and my whole family. I think everyone could use someone like that they can talk to, who knows how to listen yet doesn't have skin in the game. Considering the challenges of such an unconventional lifestyle, working at mega64 must be as stressful as it is rewarding. I hope all the mega64 boys are keeping up with their mental health. Anyway, sorry to rant in the comments here. This podcast episode just stuck with me and I had to express my thoughts

[@killerdls]

I’m not gonna read all this sorry but if ur comment was positive I agree

[@sugoi4983]

Adderall drunk word soup

[@_Ingcom]

Holy fuck - dude you are reading so much into this. It’s really not that deep.

[@geosan312]

Better call Rocco... Because this was the greatest podcast ever!

[@Shin-Carlos]

"Can we get this podcast back on track?" back on track on what? didnt know this podcast had a hard subject topic.

[@immo1129]

Thanks for posting, very enjoyable episode 😃 I feel like the new timeslot has shook things up, and I like it ✌🏻🤠

[@ScottyMo]

100% on board with Derrick’s views on Spotify.

[@boomerangfishcb]

Legendary thumbnail

[@SinfulSeraph]

52:46 You fucked up, Botte--I actually heard that it was titled "Rocco's Modern Strife".

[@theredtriforce]

Pillows filled with fiberglass insulation to keep you warm bro

[@fugchugson]

House of the Dragon is based on a book George R. R. Martin wrote. GRRM was involved in the writing for the first season.

[@TheFamilyLearningChannel]

Really good thumbnail

[@kogababe]

I'm too early, there's no top comments yet

[@joshualioi5144]

On haunted pillow, if it was a down pillow, its possible you got poked in the eye by a feather in the pillow.

[@Spawn3X5]

I thought they were talking about how i met your mom first instead of GoT 😅 Both did end horribly dont watch it I agree with Derr, i dont want to get into long running seriez

[@BrutalCarnage]

Derick is Def mvp

[@kman13131]

Derricks criticism of HOTD not having a technology gap is weird when the show is obviously demonstrating that the seven kingdoms are an empire in decline. There isn’t innovation because HOTD is this empires peak an it covers what starts its decline.

[@cosmosofinfinity]

The Winds of Winter is the book version of Half-life 3

[@kyquits]

24:40 might as well get lisa nova

[@carlosguillermo566]

Jesus Christ that activated a memory incepted a long time ago in me

[@tylerglavocich3244]

Bro Shawn and I are on the same wavelength. I did the same thing with Days Gone

[@just2good]

i agree with garrett so much on tv glow even tho im trans lol

[@rishyrish]

The white RDC

[@joshhamester]

Yall are really sleeping on SPARKING ZERO ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!

[@J___Flo7]

Go Padres

[@chalie091892]

Rocco made the right call to drop Nier right then and there. I can’t imagine he would’ve tolerated starting over on route B.

[@nah1610]

A lot of weird comments on this episode for some reason.

[@ClownCar666]

Write some good ones yourself then

[@immo1129]

I think he did :)

[@PhoenixSplash]

If you're tired of music sounding the same, come listen to mine :) My sound is anti algorithm and low key awful

[@TakeOpal]

The Seinfeld finale takes on this one are way off base. That ending is great.

[@TheBrostRoast]

Love you Derrick!

[@boogzqueen618]

First 10 seasons of Simpsons were the funniest TV ever and the old stuff definitely still holds up. Sad to see how much they declined over the years they seemed scared to end it imo they just keep pumping out low quality slop. Hey wait a second...

[@Suedeash]

Is Indian guy nice?

[@jellybelly230]

Squid game is the last show in recent memory that left the taste of horse piss in my mouth

[@marmalade024]

❤❤

[@D.Ronoa69]

1..22

[@hellsapoppin9326]

i easily thought of 10 shows that have had satisfying series finales, its not the exception to the made up rule that "all series finales are disappointing"

[@YummyYusko]

Yeah honestly I think it’s just that most series finales that people want to talk about are the bad ones it’s not that most of them are bad

[@mr.exposition]

On the topic I'm suprised they didn't bring up 2 of the greatest finales, Breaking bad and better call saul

[@randallbro6749]

Padres suck

[@JumpNShootSH]

1:15:38 monster hunter rise, world of warcraft, and minecraft are my fastest game drops lol

[@soandso7443]

The views are so low these days congrats you earned it

[@tipsytasters]

I saw the TV glow was easiestly the worst move released by A24. It was soooooo bad.

[@Jeff-yu7iu]

Your guys obsession with trying to "own" people that say woke is so exhausting

[@ingramhodges]

nah it’s good

[@INRamos13]

It's come to the point where I hear people mocking cries of "woke" more than I actually hear people calling stuff woke.

[@willthered9385]

It's an hour and a half podcast and they talk about it for like a minute at the end grow tf up

[@DADVIDS]

stop sayin things are "exhausting" when you rly just mean u wanna be a lil peepee crybaby

[@DADVIDS]

also u only got 2 comments on this channel and both are u just straight flushing ur breeches on goofy sht come on now

[@pantscheese]

God I hate when they talk about things that they just don't know about. Yes the last few seasons of GoT fucking suck. But at the same time, a lot of the BEST dialogue scenes in the early seasons were d&d originals (for example, the scene between the king and cersai where they talk about the romance between them being dead) THAT WEREN'T IN THE BOOKS. So yeah they suck at original writing, but I they ARE amazing at adapting. Those first 4-5 seasons is some of the best tv of all time

[@yungoldman2823]

I mean ok. That doesnt change that they seemingly stopped understanding how to adapt something, arguably as soon as season five their structural changes to the story began to be an issue and only got worse as the seasons went on. Just maybe chill out and take some deep breaths. These things are not mutually exclusive realities, they coexist. They both did a good job, and then did a bad job.

[@ClownCar666]

This ones about a 2/5

[@EthePianoMan]

You've been leaving negative comments on Mega64 vids for at least a year and a half now. Just give it a rest and go find a channel you actually like.

[@ProgSnob14]

Stick drift in PS5 controllers is a myth

[@Spawn3X5]

Id say it can vary. I nvr had any issues with my n64 controller

[@roccobotte]

Nah it’s happened to me multiple times

[@pooby887]

Depends what games you play. Some games have gotten really good at figuring out how to combat stick drift. So if you’re playing the right games, you’ll never notice. I can play Astro bot no worry with stick drift but the moment I switch over to something like hitman, I can’t walk in a straight line.
