That's weird. Is it getting colder now that the hernia is out?

**Mikey** (0:46)
Well, we'll find out today.

We will find out today. I don't like that everything's concept, but we will find out today.

**Mikey** (0:52)
Now, today at 2 o'clock, we find out has the chat been wrong this whole time or are they right?

**Roger Bacorny** (0:59)
I don't think that's how that works.

**Mikey** (1:00)
Yeah, that's how that works.

**Roger Bacorny** (1:01)
No, I don't think the ultrasound person will tell you it.

**Mikey** (1:03)
Oh, yeah, of course they will.

**Roger Bacorny** (1:04)
OK, again, you have not been to an ultrasound. I've been on many ultrasound.

**Mikey** (1:08)
What, are they going to just scan me?

**Roger Bacorny** (1:09)
Yes. The person, the person.

**Mikey** (1:11)
They're going to see if there's a hole in my abdomen wall like that. It's just a known thing.

**Roger Bacorny** (1:16)
The person, here's the thing. They know, like, they've been doing ultrasounds for a very long time. They understand what these things look like, right? So you just kind of have to go from like what their eyes and like what their like kind of When they go like this.

**Mikey** (1:27)
When they say, your abdominal wall.

**Roger Bacorny** (1:30)
They start calling people really fast. Yeah, like, oh, hold on. But no, your doctor will tell you what's going on there. So, yeah, you will not necessarily know.

**Mikey** (1:38)
Well, I have full confidence in Dr. Ryan thing that I'm invincible and I'll be you have paid him under the table.

**Roger Bacorny** (1:45)
You have paid money. But you know, Mikey, how you doing? How we feeling?

**Mikey** (1:48)
Roger, it's Friday. I'm feeling good. I wrapped up Shadow of the Colossus this week. I had a ton of fun with that gamer.
I'm just I'm looking for my next adventure. I'm excited for the weekend. Roger.

**Roger Bacorny** (1:59)
Yeah, it's good. The weekend. What are you looking for?

**Mikey** (2:03)
I got a lot of work stuff to do.
I want to play World of Warcraft. All I ever want to do is play World of Warcraft. I mean, you got me busy, Roger. We got Skyrim at the end of the month, and I'm excited for Skyrim. I got to relive the moment.

**Roger Bacorny** (2:18)
I don't have anything for you to do.

**Mikey** (2:20)
Well, I'm going to restart the game multiple times. Like I always like that's what people do with Skyrim.

**Roger Bacorny** (2:24)
Okay, I just like that you said that to work. It's just a normal weekend. That's what you end up doing.

**Mikey** (2:29)
How about yourself, Roger?

**Roger Bacorny** (2:30)
Not much. Last night, I booted up the Gears E-Day little beta going on there. The closed-ish beta, the ones for pre-orders and Xbox Game Pass. I had a great time in the ROG Ally, it runs fine, runs 45 FPS, looking a little blurry on there, but I'm able to do some wall hopping. Man, the gamers in this actual beta, they're gamers.
It is all Nashor all the time. You don't see one chainsaw out, you don't see nothing. It is just Nashor all the time, wall bouncing. It is upsetting, but it's fun. It's a good time. And I've also been playing Fields of Mystery 1.0, which is just so good. What an incredible video game. I would love for you to try out one of these games, like a Stardew Valley. A Fields of Mystery is a great one to jump into. You have any interest in any of that?

**Mikey** (3:13)
Put it on my list. No, it's not high on my list. You never thought about them. But like maybe one day.

**Roger Bacorny** (3:17)
I mean, you also didn't think about Zelda and Link. Remember that?

**Mikey** (3:21)
Now I can't stop thinking about the movie. Young Rock casting? Young Rock?

**Roger Bacorny** (3:26)
