CORE Crossover: Let’s Grind Some Gears

Scott Johnson (0:00)

The show has begun, hi. Hi, welcome to CORE and Grinding Gears. Yes, the folks that brought you Path of Exile 1 and 2 are here.

Stop! Oh, wait, I'm sorry, I screwed that up. Don't make it worse. Oh, I've screwed up, what have I done?

Garrett (0:12)

Do you know how many people make that joke? And then a bunch of people who are new in chat believe them?

Scott Johnson (0:17)

Dude, when I started the chat, people said, I'm confused, they're talking to the Path of Exile guys today, no wonder they're doing a special day. And I went, no, no, no.

Garrett (0:26)

I think more and more people are just referring to us as Garrett and Kyle, and honestly, I wish they would.

Scott Johnson (0:30)

You're okay with that?

Garrett (0:31)

Frickin wish they would.

Scott Johnson (0:33)

Yeah.

Beau Schwartz (0:33)

I mean, we're in the same, but we can empathize. The name of our show is CORE. There's like CORE Middle Water, there's like CORE Video Game. I think there's another group of creators now using CORE as their channel.

Scott Johnson (0:45)

Yeah.

Garrett (0:46)

I can't buff Bear Drew at Sleepless One. I'm not in control.

Scott Johnson (0:49)

Yeah, he's not in control. Also, we got, I got threatened with a lawsuit by Taito. Taito, Taito. I heard this story.

Garrett (0:57)

I was listening to CORE today.

Scott Johnson (0:58)

Yeah. So now I got to make, now I have to use, I made a new logo and this one's fine. And they approved it. Their lawyer said, yes, that's fine. So I kept that and then we're good to go. But my point is like, we're all used to dicking around with names and shit.

Garrett (1:11)

We got, Kyle and I are what, like what is essentially GG Podcast now. It used to be called Weeksauce, because we do it once a week.

And I made it look like a riff on the Tabasco logo. And then we banned a guy for being a horrible human being in our chat and he reported us to Tabasco.

Jon Jagger (1:30)

That's how I get you. From Tabasco.

Scott Johnson (1:33)

What happened then? Did they reach out to you guys or anything? Tabasco?

Garrett (1:37)

They're pretty crappy about it. Not gonna lie.

Jon Jagger (1:40)

Really?

Garrett (1:41)

Yeah.

Jon Jagger (1:42)

My gosh.

Garrett (1:42)

You'd think they'd go threatening. Really?

I even ran it back. I was just like, this dude was like a straight homophobe and that's why we banned him. And that's why he reported us to you. Like, can you be a little chill about it? They were not chilled. No, they had to protect their sauce, you know?

Scott Johnson (1:56)

Yeah, if you don't protect your, they always tell you, protect your sauce because no one else is gonna.

Garrett (2:00)

Yeah, yeah. So to this day, that's why I only use hot sauce from somewhere else.

Scott Johnson (2:07)

Muchachos. I was, by the way, I've toured the Louisiana freaking factory for them, for Tabasco.

And it reeks in there. It smells not like hot sauce. It smells like ass, like literal, like pee, like cat pee in there. So take that, Tabasco. Yeah.

Jon Jagger (2:29)

Wow.

Scott Johnson (2:30)

Your pee pee factory.

Garrett (2:31)

I still use your stuff at a restaurant, and Cholula is not an option. But yeah, take that.

Jon Jagger (2:38)

Yeah, you take that jerks.

Scott Johnson (2:40)

How do you say that? Cholula.

Jon Jagger (2:42)

Cholula. Oh my God.

Beau Schwartz (2:45)

Here it is. Here it comes. How did you think it was for this, Kyle?

Garrett (2:51)

This is the one with the lady I never even bothered.

Jon Jagger (2:53)

Here we go.

Scott Johnson (2:54)

I haven't tried. I love it, dude.

Jon Jagger (2:56)

Now, here's the thing.

Scott Johnson (2:59)

These guys told me, these guys taught me what edging was. So you're fine with the Tabasco.

Garrett (3:03)

Wow.

Scott Johnson (3:04)

Cholula is fine.

Garrett (3:05)

I thought it was just a Blink-Win-A-2 song.

Scott Johnson (3:06)

No, it took me.

Garrett (3:07)

It wasn't me, right? Which guys? These guys?

Scott Johnson (3:09)

No, these two? These two.

Garrett (3:11)

Wherever they are.

Jon Jagger (3:13)

Jon, I was like, did I do that?

Beau Schwartz (3:15)

I might have.

Garrett (3:17)

Listen, D&D Ghost Places, like I might have.

Jon Jagger (3:19)

I don't remember.

Scott Johnson (3:20)

You never know. We went some weird places.

Garrett (3:21)

How many games did we play?

Beau Schwartz (3:23)

Like, it could have come up.

Jon Jagger (3:24)
