Hello, welcome to the PC Perspective Podcast. We are at episode 878 It's being recorded on July 29, 2026 I am Sebastian Peake.

**Jeremy Hellstrom** (0:14)
I am Jeremy Hellstrom.

**Josh Walbrith** (0:16)
I'm Josh Walbrith.

**Brett Van Stroomber** (0:19)
I'm Brett Van Stroomber.

**Kent Burgess** (0:21)
And I'm Kent Burgess.

**Sebastian Peake** (0:24)
Brett, you were a little low there. Suddenly we're into NPR territory, so I'll have to boost that in post.

**Brett Van Stroomber** (0:30)
I do dip into that occasionally. I'm sorry. I was maybe leaning a little bit too far back. I don't know. Maybe it's okay.

**Sebastian Peake** (0:35)
I'm going to give you the NPR boost and we'll see how that goes.

**Brett Van Stroomber** (0:38)
Thank you. You know, I needed enough room for the slow hand motion that I had promised the audience that we were doing.

**Sebastian Peake** (0:44)
No fast hand motions.

**Brett Van Stroomber** (0:45)
No, no, it's all above the waist, above the desk.

**Josh Walbrith** (0:51)
Keep it above the waist.

**Sebastian Peake** (0:52)
Keep your hands where we can see them, unless you're doing fast. No jazz hands, sir.

**Josh Walbrith** (0:57)
Or as them will stand at 24 frames per second causes uncomfortable judder.

**Jeremy Hellstrom** (1:06)
Is it uncomfortable for you or for everyone? And what are your thoughts on Moir?

**Sebastian Peake** (1:15)
Let's move to the Patreon portion of our podcast where we call people out for supporting this podcast and making it possible. Brett, do you have any specific names you've drawn from the hats?

**Brett Van Stroomber** (1:29)
We have two. And they aren't drawn from the hat. These are recent additions to the large team of people who are the audience, as it were, helping us out here. Yes. Thank you very much. That was the sound of one hand clapping in case anybody needs to record it. Go back and listen to that.
Okay. The first one that we need to thank is Asian Dad.
Just Asian Dad. I think that says it all right there. An Asian Dad likes our show. That's impressive.

**Kent Burgess** (1:58)
Thank you very much, Asian Dad.

**Brett Van Stroomber** (2:00)
Yeah.
The second one is Chasp0, or is it Chasp0? Either way, I know that there's a special messaging coming from Josh regarding this particular patron.

**Josh Walbrith** (2:12)
I don't know where Chasp0 comes from, but would you say he Chaspose my...
No.
Let's not go there, because it just would probably get us demonetized from YouTube. So Chasp0, I really appreciate you logging into this thing called the Internet, and speaking directly to Brad or Bront or whatever you want to call him. Sure. Money bags. I don't know. But Chasp0, you're taking your life in your own hands by trusting him with your financial information. So give him more money and information, because what's life without living on the edge? You know what Benjamin Franklin says? Taste death, live life. Thanks, Chasp0.

**Sebastian Peake** (3:06)
Didn't he also say a penny saved is a penny earned?

**Brett Van Stroomber** (3:09)
You know, they're both almost equal in weight.

**Jeremy Hellstrom** (3:11)
That's the same thing.

**Josh Walbrith** (3:12)
He also said, where are the French harlots?

**Sebastian Peake** (3:15)
Right. He said, where's my snuff box?

**Jeremy Hellstrom** (3:20)
And behold, there they were.

**Josh Walbrith** (3:22)
There it was. I knew I came to Paris for some reason.

**Sebastian Peake** (3:29)
Josh, let's move to the food segment. Josh, please tell us.

**Josh Walbrith** (3:33)
You know, I've done this one for a few times, but, you know, the Cowboy Joe Burger, it was nicely put together, and there was a tremendous amount of bacon on this one, a tremendous amount of hot barbecue sauce. Had the cheese as well, and then underneath all of that, you can't see it, but it's got the candied jalapenos. So this was a quite delectable and tasty burger.
Super flavorful, had a nice kick to it. See, there's one of the jalapenos. Yep, yep, you spotted it. And it was just perfectly done. And the fries, I got the spicy fries again. You don't even need ketchup for these. They're just so tasty and tangy and warm. They actually have a little bit of a bite to them. So combination of this is extremely satisfying, and filling, and again, I will not be eating until noon tomorrow because it's just so much food.
Cowboy Jar Burger, thank you, thank you, thank you.

**Jeremy Hellstrom** (4:46)
And after that, it was ragtime.

**Josh Walbrith** (4:49)
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
