SPEAKER_1 (0:03)

You're listening to the Sands Pants Network.

SPEAKER_2 (0:07)

Like it possibly, you're wrong.

Joel Duscher (0:08)

Hey, we're on tour.

Jackson B. Baly (0:10)

So there is no theme.

Joel Duscher (0:11)

It was this or a break?

Ricky Pitzalis (0:13)

Timber.

SPEAKER_2 (0:14)

You're listening to Thumb Cramps, a show for those whose thumbs are cramping.

Joel Duscher (0:24)

Hey, gamers, what's up?

Ricky Pitzalis (0:26)

What's up, gamers?

Joel Duscher (0:28)

We are on tour. This is the second episode, but the first time you actually heard us say this, we're on tour. There is no theme. You're lucky. Well, it was this or a break.

Jackson B. Baly (0:38)

Yeah, exactly. Timber. Timber, okay.

Joel Duscher (0:41)

And hey, I hope you're enjoying whatever we're doing on stage in the UK.

Jackson B. Baly (0:45)

I hope we're being funny.

Joel Duscher (0:46)

I hope you bought tickets.

Jackson B. Baly (0:47)

I hope you bought tickets, goddamn.

SPEAKER_7 (0:50)

But hey, tour or no tour, time doesn't stop for gaming.

Jackson B. Baly (0:54)

It's true, dude. You got to keep doing it. You got to keep gaming. And honestly, can I say, I'm quite grateful there's no theme because the game I want to review today, I've been like, I've had to wait two months.

Joel Duscher (1:04)

If any, in many ways, we've had this game in a cage, much like a cock hold would have their penis in a cage.

Jackson B. Baly (1:09)

Exactly, dude. Today, we're talking about Resident Evil Requiem and Other Games.

Joel Duscher (1:25)

Jackson was so excited to jump into his game that he forgot to introduce today's guest.

Jackson B. Baly (1:30)

Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_2 (1:31)

We're joined by Adam and Ricky.

SPEAKER_7 (1:32)

Oh, it's Adam and Ricky.

Jackson B. Baly (1:34)

Hello.

Ricky Pitzalis (1:35)

It's a foreman.

Joel Duscher (1:36)

People go, oh, well, after the live episode last week, surely it would just be like no guests or like it won't be that exciting.

SPEAKER_2 (1:44)

Wrong.

Ricky Pitzalis (1:44)

It's a four-person episode.

Jackson B. Baly (1:45)

Foreman. We're doing a foreman.

Adam Carnevale (1:47)

Call this episode either someone in charge of a worksite or someone in charge of the worksite who also has links to organized crime because it is a foreman episode.

Jackson B. Baly (1:59)

I was waiting for that. I'm glad you did.

Joel Duscher (2:00)

Yeah, that's awesome. Today, we're looking at Vampire Crawlers and Other Games.

Ricky Pitzalis (2:16)

Nice one.

Ricky Pitzalis (2:16)

God damn it.

Ricky Pitzalis (2:18)

Totally undermined.

Joel Duscher (2:19)

Yeah.

Jackson B. Baly (2:20)

This happens to me all the time.

Joel Duscher (2:21)

Well, it's because I remember the structure of the show and you don't.

Ricky Pitzalis (2:25)

Their structure to this show.

Jackson B. Baly (2:26)

Oh, their structure.

Joel Duscher (2:27)

So, we introduce ourselves, which I can't... I don't think we did anyway.

Joel Duscher (2:31)

I'm Joel.

Ricky Pitzalis (2:32)

I'm Jackson.

Joel Duscher (2:32)

And the theme song's already played twice.

Jackson B. Baly (2:34)

Yeah.

Joel Duscher (2:35)

That's one more time.

Ricky Pitzalis (2:36)

One more time.

Ricky Pitzalis (2:37)

Yeah.

Joel Duscher (2:38)

No.

Jackson B. Baly (2:38)

Yeah. Yeah.

Joel Duscher (2:40)

Do you want to take the lead?

Ricky Pitzalis (2:41)

Well, yeah, let's do it one more time.

Jackson B. Baly (2:44)

And today we're looking at Resident Evil Requiem and Other Games.

Joel Duscher (3:00)

Now, Jackson, much like A Penis in a Cage, Resident Evil Requiem.

Ricky Pitzalis (3:05)

My favorite Billy Corgan.

Jackson B. Baly (3:07)

Yeah.

Joel Duscher (3:07)

This night I'm a raid, my penis is still in a cage.

Jackson B. Baly (3:12)

But yes, so I finished Resident Evil Requiem.

Joel Duscher (3:15)

Congratulations.

Jackson B. Baly (3:16)

To completion, played it to completion.

Joel Duscher (3:18)

Is this your first clocked game of 2026?

Ricky Pitzalis (3:20)

No, surely not.

Jackson B. Baly (3:22)

It might be, dude.

Joel Duscher (3:24)

Me and you have had the same problem where there's been multiple games that I've finished this year that I just have never brought up on Thumb Cramp.

Jackson B. Baly (3:30)

Yeah.

Joel Duscher (3:30)

But then the games that I do review on Thumb Cramps, even if I end up liking them more, Adam's raised his hand.

Jackson B. Baly (3:36)

Yes, Adam.

Adam Carnevale (3:36)

I have a question. Do you, and this is not why you should have been there.

I just keep me curious. Would you consider completing the main campaign to be clocked?

SPEAKER_1 (3:46)

Credit's world, games clocked.

Jackson B. Baly (3:47)

I would say so. Yeah, you take credits. You disagree?
