Bustin Makes me Feel Good

You can also text us at to four oh four six night. Have the tech spend popping off. You know, we got in some texts. I was really excited the first text came in and I was legitimately like, oh a text. It's like the magic of all over again. Or whenever you got your first text message, did you get a fax machine? Care would be ideal, just like Haunted Doll alert. Uh. We got a message from the ice cream truck ghost caller that cut off. She was like, Hey,

I'm going to explain I found out a while ago. Yeah, but I just wanted to say on the podcast to her, please call back in and tell that's what happened with the ice cream truck ghost? It's a cliffhanger. Make sure you've got four bars, Please call again? I mean I was also like, I hope she wasn't taken by the ghost all of the phone call was my first thought. Um, but yeah, we wanted to talk about haunted dolls again a little bit. This isn't so much haunted as just

in the category of dolls in general. Have you guys been getting a lot of haunted doll feedback? I haven't seen any. I haven't really been putting out the feeler for haunted dolls, to be honest, But yeah, Tess, how about you any haunted doll feelings. My cousin Molly, who is really really cool, she enjoyed the Haunted Doll podcast a lot, and she requested we do a Luigi board. Great idea, which is a great idea, But honestly, I'm a little scared the power of magic. Yes, yes, for it. Well,

I'm a little scared of dolls. That's what I realized too. They're kind of kind of terrifying. No. Well, as we've explored for many podcasts, but let's keep going. Well, what happened to me was I had a doll encounter, like right after that podcast came out where we talked about the Haunted dolls. I was in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and I saw this girl who was carrying like a full It wasn't a full sized doll, but it was like bigger than a barbie. It was like a

weird large size of doll. You're talking like a chicken American girl doll. Yeah, I guess. I feel like it was even even bigger than that. It was like very large. This is this is like she's probably under twenties, but she had the girl had a green mohawk, and then the doll was dressed identically like her with a green mohawk. And so, being the investigative reporter I am. I went over and I was like, Hi, may I talk to

you about your doll? And she was like yes you may. Um. She was like, oh, I customized it myself and I sell them. I have like an Instagram account. It's like something customs uh. And it's a ball jointed doll. And then I plunged into the rabbit hole of a ball jointed dolls, which is a whole world of doll stuff. I knew nothing about what doesn't ball jointed doll just mean that it's articulated that you can bend its limbs.

It's like the community. Because I was telling somebody about this and they were like, oh, yeah, like people used to do with blive dolls on live journal. And I was like, my friend Lauren does live dolls for everyone. She you know, she'll like, if she really likes you, shall make a blithe doll in your image. Yeah, it's like keep a blithe doll. Blithe doll. I think it's a I think it's a Japanese doll all the all like this doll that this girl had, and a lot

of these dolls. I think we're like Japanese dolls that that you can then customize. It's like you buy the body and then you like paint it yourself and freak it well. I think you can also like change out the heads, you can change out the hair. You can do all kinds of things with them. And so what people do is they customize them, or they like keep customizing them and changing them all the time, and then

they pose them. You elaborate setups everywhere they go, Like you can build doll houses that are they have like mid century modern blive dolls with like the mid century modern house and they're dressed in yeah, but their physical dolls they're not. They're physical like okay, all right, No, they're physical dolls that you place in real spaces. But then you like have an Instagram account for them. That's

like the life of the dolls doll as a person. Well, isn't that like, what was it socality Barbie or something? I mean Barbie herself. My friends Lawton does the a Barbie Instagram, which is like an amazing doll Instagram where it's like he just started doing it for fun because he worked for Barbie and he liked doing it, but it's like Barbie's Instagram and it's really well done. You know. I think they may have poked fun at this on SNL. They did the whole sketch about it, and I was like,

that's my friend's Latin Barbie Instagram. He like invented the Barbie social media presence and it's really good. Well, that's why I love the Sylvanian Families Instagram because or and the Twitter. Actually mostly I like the Twitter because even though it feels like more it should be more of

an Instagram account. There's something about following a very chill like the chillist Instagram you could possibly imagine, but following it on Twitter, so having it in your feet and make amid people like screaming about the apocalypse and about Roseanne and whatever, and then just having some chill bunnies, being like spring is a time for enjoying your friends. I love that. I love to just retweet it, you know,

in the middle of a crisis. I have one like that that's real cats, not doll cats that live in a forest. They think they live in Hokkaido and they are like cafe cats, but they're just cats who live in a forest and have the best life I can possibly imagine. There's like a bridge and a stream and

they just like chase birds in the trees all day. Uh. And I always retreat them because it is like it's like a break from I'm like, oh yeah, this is what I liked about the Internet is like, if you need a mattress that will help you get a really good sleep, you should check out Lisa Mattresses and you can get a hundred and sixty dollars off at Lisa dot com. Forward slash Nightcall which is the deepest discount we've ever offered. Lisa donates one mattress for every ten

It's very squishy and I like it, and it helps me feel like my bedroom is like a sanctuary away from the world where I can relax and recharge and face the day having slept well on

my Lisa mattress. Check out Lisa and you can get a hundred and sixty dollars off at least dot com forward slash nightcall. Wait, but we derailed you. You You approached a woman with a green mohawk carrying a doll. That's that's how I learned about well, you know, the ball jointed. But what was interesting about it was that it was a male doll. She was a men, and the doll was a hot guy. And then I realized that, like a lot of this community is women in gay men

customizing dolls that are like hot guys. And I thought that was really interesting because so much of the conversation about sex dolls is about men with female sex dolls. But I was like, oh, these women are like making a hot guy doll and then like giving it life. Uh that I mean, did you read Alison Davis's piece in New York about the the like the male sex dolls. I didn't. I haven't read it yet, but I saw it on the news stand and I was like, oh, like,

two's a trend. Yeah, guys, Well it's funny because they're like, you know, obviously there's more of a market for female sex dolls, but like the people who want the male sex doll are very are very exacting and very specific in their demands. And I mean it doesn't sound that fun, but I think that I think half the fun of it. I guess if you have one is just designing it, like not the sex part, but just having like designing your perfect man the just smiles pleasantly and like lies

on the floor. Well yeah, I also like the idea that people that like need stuff like that can just opt out of having to date regular people that might not want that experience. Sure, if you're someone who should probably dat a sex doll instead of a human being because you want to like self identifying, maybe take yourself out of the sexual marketplace and buy that doll for his one more doll thing. Oh well, this isn't it's an odd segue from the sex dolls to newborn baby dolls.

All right, Well it's just a full circle, right, I mean the circle of life. I think it was. It became kind of like a trend piece like ten years ago, um, around two thousand eight or so. Uh, the reborn doll fandom movement thing where people and there are a lot of different reasons why people would get an extremely realistic

newborn doll. Um, some of them have heartbeats, and they look like they breathe and stuff, and some of them, you know, like they've been used their arapeutically for people who have lost their kids, and that's like a great you know, if it helps people, that's great, but it also you know, they become kind of collector's items. These dolls are very expensive babies robot babies, but you can have them made. I mean, it's like the design processes.

What's it's called. What's it called when you design them reborn ing it has a verb um, but yeah, I mean it's crazy because it's like you buy you can buy the parts and do it yourself, which results in like a really awful looking doll because newborns, you know, with the new they're not like the most sypathetically huge exactly look like a real baby, which is a different thing. Does it just take you into the own canny valley though,

that's the thing. And apparently there was a big problem because people would have these dolls and they would treat them like babies. So sometimes they even have them in car seats in the car, or they'd even just happen blinds. Yeah, so whether it's in a car seat in your locked car, that you're not in or like lying on the floor of your car. People were calling the police and being like, there's an in been in a car and then they show up and it would take them a minute to

be like, oh, I am like clutching my chest. What is the point of having a reborn if you don't take it in with you when you go to the grocery store, Like, isn't the whole point to have the It's like it's like the training dollar you have to tell you, like not to have sex when you again, like to bring it back to the sex doll. And maybe it's for people who don't want the full responsibility of relationship with the baby. They're like, I want a baby I can leave in the car. Sometimes there's also

an Instagram Yeah, I mean. The Guardian wrote about this a while ago and they tried to interview people who had reborn dolls and a few of them are like, don't use my name because it because of the Uncanny Valley effect, people are just like really creeped out by it in ways that are difficult for them to express. So there's a stigma attached and a lot of these people are you know, grandparents to like people whose kids have grown up and they like wish that they had

a baby. This is a black mirror. It's a black mirror. Do you guys think that there are people who just want like babies that never grow up? For sure? Yeah, like forever kitten. Yeah. Well that's the weird thing too, is they have these like the stuffed animals that breathe and have heart beats and are used for people with dementia. Um, you know, and and apparently it's very effective. It's like a calming device and stuff, and they're not creepy. But

the human version, well that's for sure true. I feel like the thing about the Uncanny Valley is like the closer you try to approximate realism, the more it opens up. You know. But like if you go in the stuffed animal direction, but why is that? I mean, because if it looks exactly like a real kid, because it doesn't ever look I told I brought this up on another one, but I watched the show called like Animal Babies in the Wild that turned out to be like they were

putting it's called Spy in the Wild. They put robot baby animals amongst real baby animals. But it was like you could just the robots were also scary, and the fact that they were surrounded by real, incredibly cute baby animals just made you more aware. But some of the baby animals like accepted the robot is one of their own because they were just like a really jacked up baby, which kinds of animals, all of them, they all but again it's because they're babies. They're just like, we're not

gonna like turn on this maybe baby thing. Well, we have a really exciting nightcall this week. We have a nightcall from UM, a special friend, a friend of the pod. Let's yeah, friend of the Hey, guys, So it's Nicole from It's Happening with Snooky and Joey and I have a nightcall for you guys. So, I totally believe in aliens and I always have this presence of aliens in

my house. I know it sounds crazy, but UM, the Grays I've always been not like attracted to, but always like interested in UM, and I always feel like there's alien presents around me ever since I was little. So can you tell me about the Grays and what I've been feeling? Wow, thank you so much, Nicole. That was Nicole. Snicky Poetzy of um TV and podcast fame UM who has a podcast also produced by our dear Ben Hosley

here at audio boom Um. I mean that I've never heard of Gray's being like a presence, like a ghost in a house. Uh, you know, like a possessing spirit or a resident spirit in a physical space. But to my mind, it's more like I feel like I've heard people talk about angels being aliens, about the idea of like a spirit, a positive spiritual presence that accompanies you. That's like the friendly aliens helping you in your life.

I feel like that might be what Nicole has, the aliens who have evolved to the point where they can kind of be like spiritually present without being physical presences, or they're like trying to touch you from the other realm. Yeah, Um, I was just reading about I mean kind of related, but how children like Emily sent us something about you know, a child describing like a kind of ghost presence with the spiral tweet that was going around actually completely terrifying um.

And even weirder, I think that whatever publication that was seemed like some kind of neighborhood newsletter or something was like here's a cute story from a child about the fourteen year old pregnant girl who haunts her in her house at night and hers her second mommy, uh, with yellow eyelashes. On the other hand, kids, do you say the darkest things? Well, I was looking into this and

it says that that children. That one theory to explain why children might see ghosts more often is that they It's called the electromagnetic spectrum theory, or maybe that's just what I called it in my notes, but it says adult humans can only see four hundred to seven hundred and um whatever that is on the electromagnetic spectrum UV. A lightfalls just below visible light at four hundred to three fifteen. Infra red light falls just above at seven

fifty to one. No idea what measurement this is, but it's basically like children. Young kids see things at three eighty, which is in the UV range, so their vision is actually different than adults. And theoretically, if spiritual presences were visible in that range, children could see them, but adults. So you're the egon I think maybe for today. I always thought Emily was the egon. Well I just I got I went very deep on this, but it's I mean it's interesting. I mean I think we'll trade off.

It adds and flows. This is a night called listeners. You can tell us which Ghostbusters we are. Yea, we should probably put a pull out and figure it out, climber, but maybe Nicole. Guys, you know that they only made Ghostbusters Too because of the success of the Ghostbusters cartoon and the Ghostbusters action figures. Really, yeah, they were so successful that they made Ghostbusters too, and then they made

it was a long gap, Yeah, it wasn't. They made Annie Pott's dress as her character from the cartoon, which is not what she looked like a Ghostbusters have no idea. Yeah, you went on this really deep Ghostbsters thing a while ago. Boston makes me feel good. Two is a lot more loosey goosey than one, which makes really good. It's a really late eighties movie in every way. But Bobby Brown, the Bobby Brown does the theme on our own, which

is really good. And then he appears in the next frame after he's like, hey, the Ghostbusters, I love you guys. Oh my god, I think we should have a final word for Nicole. She asked to second course. Sorry, I got on a Ghostbuster side track do you think it's possible that Nicole is not haunted malevolently? Is she visited

by Invisible Grace? Well, I mean it could be a kind of like kind of more of a like an arrival Aliens type situation where it's not like they're here to really announce them bells, but they're more just sort of gathering data and as an as a benign presence and just sort of like installing themselves and collecting information. And they just happened to have chosen her house as as a steak out point. Um. Yeah, I don't know

that would be money. Let me say this is that if I were an alien, especially if I were running a simulation, right, I would definitely be visiting the cast of the Jersey Shore more than anyone else. If I wanted to take a temperature track on culture, if I were from another planet, that's what I would watch almost exclusively. It's been it's been long enough for um for the radio waves from Jersey Shore's first season, uh, at least

to reach the nearest star system. Yeah. I think it's been I think six years is the amount of time so I but not long enough for it to come back. So they would have to have some kind of um faster than light speed travel in order to get like they would have to the sequence of events that have to be They saw the first season of Jersey Shore. They didn't finish it. They watched like two episodes and like,

we've got to go check this out. Hopped in there faster than light speed travel, came to Earth and by that point, it's, uh, snooky has a show on audio Boom and what what are the what are the odds that that's snooky? Might herself be a Gray was left here as a child by the Grays. I think we need more information for that. If anyone is human, it's snooky,

you know what I mean? Fine, I'm just saying what it was like an et situation where somebody leaves you on a planet and then you're trying to get home, and she's the only person who wouldn't be body snatched, you know, yeah, yeah, she's Well, maybe the aliens, I mean, whatever the case. Maybe it seems like the aliens don't have bad intentions from Nicole. It seems like they want

her to thrive.

On the East Coast, on the East Coast. Um. A story came out in in New York magazine Today UM about the fake heiress Anna Delvy, Anna Delvy, that was her? That was her, Anna Serroken think she was. She claimed to be from some German unspecified wealthy German family, but was in fact it turned out to be from a

kind of middle class Russian family. Um. And she basically ran a scam that spanned a couple of years at least in New York, where she was just hanging out with the moneyed classes of New York and staying in a fancy hotels and soho and not paying her bill and just kind of floating on this claim that she was, um a lady of means and wanted to open an arts club. It's a pretty great story. It's it reads

like it wants to be adapted into a movie. And I'm almost certain that it was saying she's in jail now she's at Rikers, which is also a free place for her scam your way all the way to free room and board. Yeah, she she was in Rikers and

she was very luck Yeah, it's fun, it's okay. She was like weirdly chill about it, which was sort of funny, but testsa saying there's actually a Vandity Fair story about because one of the people, one of the people she screwed over who had to like when she couldn't pay

for um, some vacation somewhere I think. I think it was when she went to Morocco or something and she couldn't hear bill and she was there with the somebody in a Vanity Fair um photo editor, um who paid a who put the bill for them on her like company card or something, her company mmex, somebody who worked for Vanity Fair did it, yeah, and then wrote about it the most Vanity Fair story I've ever heard. Two thousand dollars, which apparently it was as much as she

got paid in a year. And she said that she kind of didn't think twice about putting up the money because she because because she was like, this is gonna make a great Vanity Fair story, right right. I mean this was like something like two years me. Like all Vanity Fair fast stories are about people scamming rich people

or rich people murdering their wives. It was a very honest account, other than a couple of times where it was like she really brought out these good traits in me, like she wasn't perfect, but her honesty made me think she was a good friend. But also she paid for everything and it's like to put that just like let's not be sid It was also like she was like her spontaneity and exactly like as a whole, it was I mean a pretty like she earned that the right

to write that profile. It was pretty intense. Well, what struck me about the cut story was just how it seemed like nobody actually liked her at all. Well, because she was apparently really rude. She would she would say classes things like she was really blunt and kind of like socially awkward and would just sort of like pay people off to hang around, and all of those things

just make her more believably upper class exactly. Well, here's the thing, though, so many of the things that she was dropping money on I felt seemed a little basic, like at least they were the kinds of things that I would do if I was pretending to be upper class person, like with my knowledge of things that rich people do, which I'm sure that they're like like she got a private jet through Blade, which is like they do like helicopter rides and stuff here in New York.

It's but it's like a thing that you know I would get press releases for because it was supposed to be like the Uber of helicopters, and now Uber has helicopters, but um, I don't think i'd trust an Uber helicopter driver the well. I think the whole thing is that

she was a rich person renter. So it's like she was staying at all of these posh hotels and and apparently going to these meetings with real estate agents, but always kind of like flaking at the last minute, being like, oh, I'm really interested in this really nice penhouse, I have to go maybe scam while it worked. And also the sort of like pan European nobody knows where the money comes from, saying it's like totally it's in a U

b S account someone, Yeah, it's very believable. I was just gonna say it's a very good piece of performance, or if you want to you it is that just because everybody who looks stupid as a result of this, I don't feel too bad about because it's just yeah, I was saying, like I don't care about her scamming like hotels or rich people, but she also scammed like desk clerks and stuff. And that's where I was like,

she's a sociopath, you know. Well, it's like it's like when somebody is not nice to you, but they've spend their money on you, and then when they whoops, can't find their credit card and you have to pay like three bill for dinner. I just love that that so many people made that excuse for her when she couldn't pay for something anything that like for you or I if we showed up somewhere like whoops, I don't know,

like none of my credit cards are working. Here's a book full of credit card numbers, by the way, run that. Everybody's just like, oh, she has so much money, she doesn't know what to do with that. She doesn't know

who else would like that borrows sixty dollars. Well, but the interesting thing was so with the trip with Morocco, the way that she found herself on the hook for sixty the friend who wrote the piece was because um Anna got there, had rented out like you know, this villa and like a five star hotel that came with like a maid and all of this stuff, and then basically said that her card had been declined. And they were almost like held hostage at this hotel until someone

put up a card. But also what was interesting is that the writer said that at one point Anna Payp held her five thousand dollars and the way that you know, Anna had had any money to spend, because she did have some cash, Like you know, throughout the piece, it's like, well, she took us to this fancy club and had bottle service and she paid the tab and it was fine.

Was some like really complicated or maybe just really complicated to me who doesn't understand it way of cashing bad checks and then getting like a loan back and having the cash and taking out all the cash. So but it's like yourself though with yourself. And so she was impressed by the like level of it. Yeah, wow, this takes planning. But what was weird was the writer was like, she gave me five thousand dollars, which it's like, why

do that at all? And she and she said it didn't even seem like her mark, because it's like that you trust that person that they have money if somebody gives you five thousand dollars. And everybody wants to flatter themselves that they're in the social circle of this European heiress, Like, you know, to to admit that maybe you've been duped is not just the humiliation of being duped, it's also like, oh,

your life is that much less exciting. It's very believable that she blended it, and she just went so far as like a sort of unassuming looking white girl who was like, I'm from Europe and like, I don't remember who, but someone on Twitter said that they could tell that she wasn't rich because she didn't do her hair. Oh yeah, she didn't have that rich girl hair that all rich girls have. But to me, I saw it and I was like, that's such rich girl hair that she's like

going against rich girl. Somebody else was like, oh think how far she could have gotten. She was like more hot, and I was like, no, being sort of like basic worked in her favor because it made her just look

sort of like rich in European. It's pretty well. It put me in the whole story where you put me in in big time nostalgia mode for Carrie Farrell, the hipster Grifter, which was like a real, a real golden age of of blogging story that I feel like everybody who was around the internet, or had a job where

you just read the internet older remembers fondly. Um, but that was a very different scale and that you know that one also simultaneously like the best grifts like shed an interesting light on the milieu on which which is being drifted. Yeah, because she wasn't asking for that much money. She like, she only asked her first off in smalling crimins, and she like she just wanted to job vice like or like, I don't know, like very humble, humble things.

Where is she now? I wonder. I think she's in jail in Utah, or maybe she's not in jail anymore. I don't know, but she was, you should be let out of jail. Yeah, she said, it's not that much money, I think, and a whole it was like sixty dollars, which is just how much Anna took from the Vanity Fair photo editor. So, I don't know, have you guys ever been grifted? We wanted to talk about if we have our own grifting experiences or if we're unscammable. I've never been well, I don't know. I feel like I

have good scamming radar um. But then there was this company that was like trying to get me to, like, I don't know, to work with them on some film, and I thought I had such I had such a red alert alert go off. And this was like in two thousand nine. I just felt like everything was a scam. Then UM, and I you know, didn't end up working with them. But then I saw some out of theirs in like Vogue or something just like this jewelry company, So I don't know, maybe they were for real, but

I had a bad vibe test. What about you? Have you ever been drifted? I was there was an attempted grift, but it was a pyramid scheme with health juice type drink, uh, with some people I was working with, and they wanted me to buy like a case of it and UH, and I agreed because I find myself always agreeing to like pretty much everything in the moment and then just being like, what have I done? So I got home and then UM lied and said I had had an allergic reaction to the drink and got out of it.

But um, some like multi level marketing schemes have have come my way, but I've never like actually succumbed. What about you? How you tempted? You know? Um? I was telling you I was like a little bit hipster drifted by a girl I was sort of friends with who was living in a house with a bunch of people, and she was living in the basement, and I think had promised she would pay rent and then sort of was like, I don't need to pay and I live

in the basement. Uh. But she came and lived on my couch and just said they had kicked her out for no reason. And I think I under stay on my couch for a month. Uh. And then she found a guy to date whose couch she could stay on. But I was saying I was also like at that point, I was like in my early and hasn't lived in this like really big house that had the whole floor

that like none of us ever spent any time in. Yeah, I think that, Um there's something about that where it's similar to just a regular It's similar to a regular kind of grift in which has a sense of your weaknesses or what you you need in life, whether it be like more friends or like a person to work

on your projects with or something. And it sucks because it makes you um on guard about people, like because I've definitely since my experience with that, Like any any time somebody gives me the same vibe, it's just it's just like, are you what do you want from me right now? Which is just not the way that you should react to somebody being nice to know. But sometimes you get a vibe from somebody early on that turns out to be true. Yeah, but you just don't want

to be true. Um. Yeah, Well, guys, don't get grifted out there. Yeah, don't get grifted. Be careful, be carefu. Uh do you only DoD background checks? But at least you know, Um, look up people's top biz email ad. Um. Well, we were gonna take one more nightcall, my nightcall. This is Jeremy from Ventura. Uh. It's currently to seventeen AM. I just got done playing a campaign of my favorite nineties video game, Age of Empires too, and I was wondering if you guys had any favorite video games from

the nineties or earlier. If you do, um, I want to hear about then. All right, I'm gonna go to sleep now. Good night, Good night, Thanks Jeremy from Ventura. I don't think what is not a nice call? What a great question? Uh, Tess was gonna bring up Emily's piece about miss Yes, well, Missed was what there was just a CD rum game. It was it was, it was a computer game. I don't know, I don't know, I know, I just mean it was how many years? Because you did it something for the anniversary? Yeah yeah

it was yeah wow. Um but yeah, Missed is pretty much the best. But I've also been playing a ton of Tetris pro Tetris yeah um um oh. A footnote about that miss pieces that like it's actually I realized this after I did it. Like that, year ninety three is like the last great year of Seattle in many many ways. It's the beginning. It's the first season of Fraser starts then, and it's also when in Utero. It's really Sattle. I look forward to you writing this piece.

It's a very busy there was one good year left. Um. I was gonna say my favorite video I have a lot of favorite video games. I like Stupid and Endo games like Mario Kart, like all your Mario's uh dr Mario. But I really liked RPGs. Those are my my favorite games. I liked. Earthbound was my favorite game. David got really into earth Band. It's great, mystical Ninja, UM just kind of all the Yeah, I mostly just played all I

all I really did video game wise. The only console I ever owned was the PS one in the nineties. Um and I don't even remember if that was in the nineties or maybe it was two thousand by then by the time I had it. But I definitely played those like PlayStation era Final Fantasy games. That's about all that I did, um Final Fantasies in general in life. Yeah, you know what's a fun thing to have is the retro Freak. The retro Freak has been really awesome for

all your retro gaming needs. That's how I've been playing Tetris, and they have like a bunch of different kinds of Tetris, but the one that I've been playing is the Tetris and Dr Mario Bundle um, which is like the year real old school of Tetris. We were playing we the other day. My brother gave me a week a while ago when you can download old games for the Wei Adventure Island. We downloaded and I was like, oh, this makes me feel like I'm in my cousin's basement playing

the first Nintendo ever. You guys were talking about Katamari Domassey, which is not not a nineties game strictly, but definitely like a yeah, a game that we all love. I play the soundtrack for Katamari Domassy every time I'm cooking dinner pretty much at least for like just two minutes, just to get into the mode. I think it feels like a nineties game because it feels like a very nineties Japanese pop culture game, like the vibe is very

like it's very much like a Cornelius vibe. You just ru music and everything we all like to rolling through.
