Everytime Shawn tells a childhood story for the last 14 years I've been watching the podcast I understand why he's so stressed constantly.

[@1738Crafting]

rocco going through fair food cast withdrawls look at the man

[@michaelbarrett9061]

Good energy on this podcast. I think its because Shawn shaved his face.

[@Stradlverius]

Podcast 640 and Emma is driving... Makes me feel oooold

[@jjmini]

Would love to have a "Happy gamer morning shirt"

[@SBG5731]

lol me lol

[@nypad5]

I remember in Highschool there was a day that you could bring your GRANDPARENTS to school with... I think only 1 Kid did it.

[@TubeSteak]

IT COMES AT NIGHT fucking rules and I will die on this hill

[@dasenase]

Walmart's incompetency is a double edged sword. Sometimes they give you games early accidentally.

[@papabaddad]

amazon sent me a game early one time, was pretty stoked

[@ProgSnob14]

I find games and consoles early at Walmart all the time, shouts out Walmart at 150 and 291

[@braxtonm9712]

Roccos fake crying story 12:38 had me dying laughing.

[@retsuza]

Extremely good. It's such a powerful move but it's bound to set off some insane people into apoplectic rage. If I lived in the US I would consider not doing that

[@selfdribblingbasketball9769]

“Bob Dole had a podcast” -Garrett Hunter, 35

[@KittenIgnition]

holy crap i remember when emma was a toddler, crazy to hear she got her license. congrats shawn

[@DarkNessBear]

I feel so olddd

[@KittenIgnition]

@@DarkNessBear I just feel happy for Shawn. I know I'm not old yet at least ;)

[@amcdavey]

Listened to the entire podcast from last week on my way to Vegas. Thanks, guys.

[@GorTheMovieGod]

"Emma got her license" Welp. Now I feel fucking old.

[@sethcampo]

Long time viewer, but I didn't start tuning into the podcast till 2017. I mainly listen to the audio while at work. I quickly ran through every m64 podcast I could find till I got all caught up. It was like i was chilling with the boys. Here's to 640 more episodes!

[@Gamemaster2479]

I loved the creative freedom discussion because its just describing doing improv and I think yeah having to work within some kind of confine is so important for making something interesting

[@bobob102]

SOME A24 CLASSICS The Witch Hereditary MidSommer Red Rocket The Florida Project The Lighthouse Lady Bird Uncut Gems Moonlight Euphoria They have a few stinkers in the catalog but they have become one of my favorite production companies. Something I never thought I’d care about.

[@CodyHazelleMusic]

Ex machina

[@ironicphailure7638]

the A24 films ive seen were the florida project, under the silver lake, midsommer, the light house, uncut gems, and the green knight. florida project and uncut gems were really good and are some of my favorite movies, midsommar just felt like a more boring and less cool version of the wickerman, under the silver lake had a cool concept but i felt like it was just a mess of a movie overall, the green knight was very boring and should've stayed as a short story, and i fucking despised the light house. that movie was such a fucking hassle to watch and keep awake only to realise how much of a waste of time it was to finish that garbage. im with them when it comes to A24 movies usually sucking with only 2 good movies i can actually reccomend. this is just my two cents tho im not talking shit to you for liking movies i dont.

[@mkhpsyco]

The thing about It Comes at Night, is that it's actually a very good movie, but the title and the trailer were lies. And if I'm not mistaken both of those were pushed on the filmmakers by a24 to try and sell more tickets.

[@newperson_sameoldmistakes]

7:42 garrett with that troy baker line fucking omegalul

[@ryanrose1111]

Fucking love tuesdays

[@joshhamester]

Fuck64esdays baby!

[@skoomawizard]

I’m so fucking happy

[@thebipman]

I wonder how many sunglasses Garret has, and if he sleeps wearing em

[@kilgoretrout8896]

Imagine performing onstage with your parents during Senior year

[@Kerma7]

when shawn shaves he instantly looks five to ten years younger

[@user-zw4wh1tm9x]

Rocco with the unmatched pullout game

[@Swishiee]

I'm thankful Shawn mentioned Firemachines as a joke about old sponsors because I was preparing to make a comment about it.

[@YAIAAC]

Not sure if Garrett is using “recently” loosely, but there’s been a Chick Fil A in San Diego (Eastlake) for like 10+ years

[@TheWisestWizards]

I used to do after the fact honking back in high school. But I no longer honk unless it is to warn someone who is about to hit me. A guy cut me off and I had to slam on the breaks and I laid on the horn and he stopped dead in traffic and looked like he was about to get out, and I did the same thing Rocco did, I drove up on the curb and got out of there ASAP. Too many people here have guns for me to be honking these days!

[@stevie2521]

i get happy when i see shawn sitting there

[@StrawberryDonutKing]

Who's that handsome devil sitting next to that goth cutie?

[@Ratspressoh]

17:20 We just got a Chick-fil-a here in Michigan that does exactly this. Takes the entire shopping plaza up and has two massive lines the *whole* time it's open, 7 days a week.

[@chalie091892]

*6 days

[@WambwneD]

"Oh they are talking about drive my car, interesting." *Literally an 18 seconds segment* lol...

[@SoakedWater]

Shawn, what happened to your Grandma's diamond? Was it in the pie? Did anyone find it? Did you end up buying another pie or choosing smores?

[@Fromaginator]

Oh no, I have 3 rock band drum sets in my living room... I'd get eaten alive on love is blind

[@POSTELVIS]

Happy 640!

[@zayicza]

T&A the bit that keeps on giving

[@Hot_Dog_Jones]

"And then they propose to that person without ever seeing them" "That s u c k s s s"

[@Phantominfernox]

Really did wake up to this. Happy gamer morning

[@TimeFlux1089]

You guys can definitely become the longest running podcast, but you'll prob have to outlive my dad. His show Comedy4Cast has been going since 2005 😅

[@DrRyan82994]

7:54 rocco, did you ever realize real life is like that movie!?

[@DrRyan82994]

15:45 this is why i like to install aftermarket dual tone horns on my cars

[@monte6777]

Jesus christ. Been watching you guys since middle school and I'm 18 now... Hearing Emma's got her license makes me feel like shit because I still haven't gotten mine lol

[@ProgSnob14]

I'm a big fan of the musical honk technique

[@MisterMagpieSongs]

Happy gamer morning!! 🌞

[@colinmcmasters5819]

Do these guys even play games?

[@Zeldarulah]

Literally as soon as Rocco started describing shows where they felt like 1 episode I instantly thought of Stranger Things so I'm so glad they wound up blaming the whole phenomenon on it lmao

[@seratedninja]

I have a drive thru coffee shop in my city with the same problem, always a traffic nightmare even worse is its right near a chic fil a

[@Moozeooze]

A24 have one of the best track records for film studios right now despite some duds, derek is insane

[@ragingtothemax]

You can tell they are filming or filmed a new video because shawn and rocco are both clean shaven

[@INRamos13]

No Crappy Castles sponsorship? Sad day.

[@YTPremiumWatch]

Holy shit an episode of The Mega64 Podcast let’s fucking gooooooooooooooooooo

[@cameronrishworth]

Zerozerozero was a great show in my opinion, and is an anthology, so you're all done in 8 episodes. Also was impressive, everything being shot on location in México, Italy, Senegal, Morrocco, and the US.

[@lean4real_11]

i love the mega64 podcast i watch every time one is uploaded. i look forward to these every week

[@BlkDarkness]

42:30 It's Adam The Woo incase anyone's wondering.

[@Nobutehuhh]

Used to love his vids

[@BlkDarkness]

Guess I was wrong it was Defunctland. 🤷

[@kaethis]

Why did J*hnny censor at 19:48?

[@RealHumanBean4U]

Rocco should watch Vice Principals. It's the same team as Righteous Gemstones, only two seasons. Complete story that's both hilarious and satisfying.

[@Bamx333]

Elden Ring talk starts at 52:26

[@c2green497]

You know, over the years, I've started to really see the Derrick's best dude. He used to be my least favorite. Then, in the past few years, he's been more open, and willing to let his guard down to the viewers, letting us see a the struggling, creative guy, who loves his friends, and is really passionate about his work. So passionate that he is willing to let go of video games to create his craft. Then I listen to this honking story, and I'm reminded that, no matter how he tries to self-censor himself, the theater trashing, fetus sexing, asshole Derrick is still there. And while this might sound like a slight, it isn't. It's just an observation. Derrick as it currently stands, is by far the best Mega64 guy because of how complex this guy is. I love tuning in to hear him being an asshole, and yet, continuously lift Johnny's confidence up when Johnny feels like he messes up in Mega Strange. Derrick, if you're reading this, you're the person I root for the most.

[@Lolatusername]

Lmfao i went to high school in san diego and we had that exact same day where parents came to class with their kids, it's really weird lol.

[@adult93]

My school had that parents sit in bullshit also. I was free from it but like rocco was just OVER that entire day

[@TheClosetGamer]

I thought The Lighthouse was a pretty cool A24 film, Eight Grade wasn't terrible either.

[@starbitnaut]

roccos wawa shirt....,, 😍

[@BlinxNinety]

Your gonna need to skip some weeks so podcast 666 lines up with October

[@TheCosmicSkeleton]

I caught up on the podcast a year or two ago so I guess I can consume this minus a year or two

[@SawyersFilms]

To Shawn's pac day thing, I had parent teacher events after school that was like an odd hour of going through each of our periods as if we were at a regular day of school. Seemingly normal California highschool but never did it after my freshman year.

[@RollaJones]

Aka the episode where I didn't know what day it was.

[@edwardwebb5636]

Already know podcast 641’s thumbnail 👋🏾

[@99geckoenthusiast43]

A Gamer Morning shirt would be the perfect 64 hour special.

[@CastorClasser1716]

People like to poke fun at FromSoftware's storytelling in their games, but you guys elucidated its contrast to the blandness of mashing "a" to be fed a story and derivative cutscenes.

[@mrchiefbs]

Watch The Last Kingdom on Netflix. It's incredible.

[@MilleniumRoci]

Damn, Rocco’s going to do a collab with THE Ordinary Sausage?

[@johnnada6855]

SHAWN and Rocco looks like they just shaved to be on the show and their faces look funny., especially shawn´s... is either that or i´m drunk... lol

[@discipleofdsparil9287]

Bro it's 530 on a Tuesday

[@Lukecostin1991]

I would love to see the boyz make a wrestling podcast

[@dibrenn3432]

Love you guys

[@YearOfTheSwagon]

you guys up there with IGN podcasts. OG Gaming Podcasts. CAGcast as well.

[@Onyominoma]

Ocarina of Time is still great, it's outdated now and isn't a spectacle of entertainment like shiny modern games, but it's a very important stepping stone. It's still the best example of a Zelda game done correctly, get item, item helps in dungeon and helps you get to new area. Also, Water Temple is easy as pie, all the dungeons are easy, some are just tedious just takes patience, especially if you mess up the order of certain tasks. If you think they are hard/get frustrated at a video game from 20+ years ago, you will hate Majora's Mask. As charming as it is at times, that game is a mess to play through. If you are playing it for the first time and are looking at a guide constantly you will hate it. If you don't use a guide, you will miss everything and the game will feel empty.

[@turkeysamwich00]

yo what the fuck it's shawn's face yo what the fuck it's rocco's face

[@HippoJPLauncher]

No aftershow this week?

[@killervacuum]

sumo was 11 yrs ago 😢

[@Paulnthony2]

As a long time fan since the Luigi's mansion video era, I am quite disappointed in the lack of no special theme, you guys were hyping this up during the 300 episode era, and nothing. I know we got treated to hell festival and 64 expo and alot more these past few years. But I feel like your videos are the bread and the podcasts are like the butter. It seemed odd that you guys held a regular podcast with the least bit of enthusiasm towards a special podcast number.

[@SuperKc1982]

What happened to Derrick? Wrestling only?

[@MazzEffect7]

Is Rocco collabin' with Tim Tracker or Adam the Woo perhaps?

[@Kiggiewiggie]

My guess is Justin Scarred, but they'd both have to travel.

[@rowsdower50]

I think I remember something in middle school where a parent could come in for the day. When my older sister went through middle school I remember hearing about like... a Freaky Friday thing where a parent would go to school for you and then you would go to work with your other parent for the day.

[@vinchenzo7221]

Man as a pro wrestling fan it sucks that Derrick feels embarrassed to like pro wrestling. It’s been the best it’s been in years right now

[@pranefuji]

If you honk your horn outside of an emergency you should lose your license. Ruin everyone's day in a 1 mile radius as they have to look around and figure out if a crisis is happening or someone is just acting like a crazy person.

[@expiredzoos8284]

the is it cake show is terrible. rocco is right theres a video of japanese people playing is it chocolate and like a lot of random things in the room are chocolate its funny for a few minutes and thats it. it peaks that fast.

[@Simspidey]

Both Rocco AND Shawn are clean shaven? Hmmmmmmm.... Seems like a new video is dropping soon

[@rubensoliz8098]

26 more podcasts...

[@raf.raf.]

This is a pretty good podcast. Just like that other one, Crappy Castles ™

[@EskoLuontola]

I don't remember the Water Temple being particularly hard. What I consider to suck is the Dark Forest from Secret of Evermore - I had to draw a map to not get lost.

[@CaptainStringCheese]

i dont understand how derrick can like trash tv and not like WWE but still watch AEW

[@GrazCore]

37:55 according to Wikipedia "With a successful run of 12 years and over 2,700 episodes, the Jack and Stench Show is among the longest-running monetized podcasts." Mega64 has an earlier start date, Jack and Stench has more episodes however. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_podcasting

[@Nobutehuhh]

Good discussion about dialogue in games.

[@jordyundieground3270]

Mega 640

[@JosePerez-ld8qg]

This is just my opinion but, don't ever stop making the podcast, if one of you die, get Shawn's children, or find someone else like Johnny, never stop. Make it like those game shows, price is right, just change the hosts, keep the format.

[@space6740]

Yooo

[@zomasm8907]

I literally just finished washing Vivziepop cartoons before clicking on this. Awesome. Jhonen Vasquez, Alex Hirsch... Awesome guys. Awesome.
