Bradley Stern (0:05)

Legends Only.

T. Kyle (0:06)

My name's T.

SPEAKER_3 (0:07)

Kyle.

Bradley Stern (0:08)

And I'm Brad.

T. Kyle (0:09)

And this is your weekly Pop Culture Podcast, where we talk about...

Bradley Stern (0:13)

Legends Only. Well, it happened.

T. Kyle (0:19)

What?

Bradley Stern (0:21)

Somebody got knocked off the top spot.

T. Kyle (0:25)

Oh, cleared.

SPEAKER_3 (0:26)

Choosin number two. On the billboard. I don't know about you, but you're choosin two.

Bradley Stern (0:35)

Miss Ella Langley has been dethroned... Get a good lawyer.

By the showgirl. Actually, I'm not giving her that title. That's disrespectful to Kylie. A performer who identifies as a showgirl. Get a good lawyer. Taylor Swift is now number one with Patient Zero, which apparently is about the measles outbreak in New York as of today.

T. Kyle (1:01)

What now?

SPEAKER_3 (1:02)

Oh, yeah.

Bradley Stern (1:03)

State of emergency. State of grace.

Measles, mumps, and woozles.

T. Kyle (1:07)

I am protecting my peace and surrendering to that.

SPEAKER_3 (1:11)

And the things that I can while I can.

Bradley Stern (1:13)

The plague.

T. Kyle (1:14)

Oh, I did see that too.

Bradley Stern (1:15)

We got plague, measles.

T. Kyle (1:17)

I've still got some survival things tucked away. So, I will outlast a little bit, I think.

Bradley Stern (1:24)

People were like, oh wait, GTA 6 in isolation, not bad.

Well, I don't know. It could get real worse. Anyway.

SPEAKER_3 (1:36)

Yeah, happy Thursday.

Bradley Stern (1:38)

Happy Thursday, everyone.

T. Kyle (1:40)

That's why you've been playing Minecraft.

Bradley Stern (1:43)

You have been playing Minecraft.

T. Kyle (1:45)

I fucked my sleep schedule up so bad.

Bradley Stern (1:48)

Warned me off microphone that you did something involving Minecraft and that you were sleeping.

T. Kyle (1:53)

I was like, I'm so tired. I'm going to pull it together though.

Bradley Stern (1:56)

Were you building a palace, a mansion?

T. Kyle (2:01)

On Friday night, I was like, I need a night. I've been working really hard and I'm an athlete now.

Bradley Stern (2:08)

Settle in and build chateau to Addison.

T. Kyle (2:10)

I was like, I just need a night. I'm going to take an edible and play Minecraft.

Bradley Stern (2:14)

An athlete now, yes.

T. Kyle (2:16)

Kind of.

Bradley Stern (2:17)

Yes.

T. Kyle (2:17)

A little bit.

An hour goes by. I check my phone. I'm like, okay, it's 11 o'clock. It's fine. Just like one more.

SPEAKER_3 (2:27)

Block. Builds around here.

T. Kyle (2:30)

I'm fully in the zone. At this point, these villagers got a gorgeous makeover. They've got a beach hut, protection, an underground lair, a library. Oh, no. Iron Golems.

Bradley Stern (2:43)

Iron Golems.

T. Kyle (2:44)

Yeah, they walk around and they kill the zombies. I protect my girls.

SPEAKER_3 (2:48)

Yeah.

T. Kyle (2:49)

They walk around and they're just like, huh, huh.

Fully in the zone. Building this and Edible.

SPEAKER_3 (2:57)

Bad combo for you.

T. Kyle (2:58)

I hit the button 4.3 in the morning.

I was like, you have to be fucking kidding me. I'm awake, fully creative. Everything's firing. And so I'm still...

Bradley Stern (3:12)

Do you just continue plowing through? Or did you force yourself to sleep?

T. Kyle (3:16)

I forced myself to sleep.

SPEAKER_3 (3:17)

But it is still...

Bradley Stern (3:19)

Yeah, that's gonna take you a few days to recalibrate. Was it worth it?

SPEAKER_3 (3:24)

Yeah.

Bradley Stern (3:24)

Hell yeah.

T. Kyle (3:25)

It was. It's so fun.

Bradley Stern (3:27)

Were you streaming?

T. Kyle (3:28)

No.

Bradley Stern (3:29)

Okay. Well, I think you should stream.

T. Kyle (3:31)

If it was streaming, I would have noticed the time.

SPEAKER_3 (3:33)

Yeah.

Bradley Stern (3:33)

I would stream it because I think people will want to see it now, whatever you're working on.

T. Kyle (3:37)

I can show you guys my village.

SPEAKER_3 (3:39)

Yeah.

Bradley Stern (3:39)

Does it have a name? Does it have a theme?

T. Kyle (3:42)

It's actually my world from 2016 that I reopened. I was like, what's going on in here?

Bradley Stern (3:49)

Okay. So it was like glory era Minecraft?

SPEAKER_3 (3:53)

Yeah, actually.

T. Kyle (3:56)

So I went in to remodel a little bit.

Bradley Stern (4:00)

Does grass grow over and does it show signs of aging?

T. Kyle (4:05)

It rains. They have babies. They have jobs.

They work. You make them little stations and they're like, and then they farm.

Bradley Stern (4:18)

Just the sound they all make?

T. Kyle (4:19)
