The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Legacy Edition and Other Games (Ft. Ruby Innes)

**Jackson** (0:00)
Hey, have you ever wanted to, like, touch us in the flesh?

**Ruby Innes** (0:03)
Uh-oh.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:03)
Don't.

**Ruby Innes** (0:04)
But you could have the possibility in September, which is not that far from now.

**Joel** (0:09)
Are you doing something in three to four weeks from now?

**Jackson** (0:13)
Yes, you are. You're coming to see Plumbing the Death Star perform live as part of the Plumbing the Death Star Cannot Die Tour. And hey, if you're quick enough, I guess you can touch us on the face, but we're gonna be doing some of these. Exactly.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:24)
Woo-ha, woo-ha, woo-ha.

**Jackson** (0:25)
We're gonna be coming there and doing shows, and getting up on stage and jumping around like apes.

**Joel** (0:30)
Wanna revisit a podcast you may have seen seven years ago and see how much worse we look now, but how our content is better.
Why not head to sanspantsradio.com for all those events, buy a ticket, and we'll see you there. We'll be the guys that look like the guys you saw once before, but older. We dress better now, though, I think.

**Jackson** (0:47)
I would agree, sir. I really like the way you said better.

**Joel** (0:50)
Yeah, me too. That's really good.

**Jackson** (0:52)
But they've become better.

**Joel** (0:53)
Yeah. It's not really appreciated. That's just me, brother. That's what I like.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:57)
Plumbing the Death Star. We're better now.

**Jackson** (1:01)
Hi, listeners. For this episode, we're going to need you to pour 10 glasses of water and drink one every 10 minutes. That's the ideal listening experience for this episode of Thumb Cramps. Thank you.

**Ruby Innes** (1:12)
Feel free to pause the episode to glug down that whole glass of water in one foul swoop and then play again.

**Jackson** (1:21)
Don't you dare sip that water. It needs to be chugged. Thank you again.

**Joel** (1:26)
Enjoy.

**Jackson** (1:30)
You're listening to the SansPants Network.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:34)
Like it possibly, you're wrong.

**Joel** (1:36)
This month on Thumb Cramps, it's Remugust.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:39)
Remakes and remasters all month long.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:51)
You're listening to Thumb Cramps, a show for those whose thumbs are cramping.

**Ruby Innes** (2:01)
I might press record and we can start the podcast maybe.

**Jackson** (2:04)
Okay, maybe that's actually a good idea.

**Ruby Innes** (2:06)
I'm kind of thinking we should start the podcast and then do it.

**Jackson** (2:13)
Yeah, I think that's a good- let's not just start it, let's do it too.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:16)
So, gamers, if you're listening, I just want you to know, do you think that we should start the podcast right now?

**Jackson** (2:21)
You reckon?

**Ruby Innes** (2:23)
Say yes or no and we won't start it until we hear that.

**Jackson** (2:27)
We need everybody listening to say yes. Okay, and if one person says no, we're not doing it.

**Joel** (2:32)
Okay, so listeners, ready? Three, two, one.
Welcome to this week's episode of Thumb Cramps, a video game review podcast for everyone whose thumbs are cramping. I'm Joel. I'm Jackson. And joining us today, who you've already heard rev you up, listeners, for us to start the podcast, it's Ruby Innes.

**Ruby Innes** (2:51)
You're like a motorcycle and I'm driving.

**Jackson** (2:54)
Whoa. That was punctuated with a big sip of water.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:58)
I hope everyone knows.

**Ruby Innes** (3:00)
My hydrolight.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:01)
Oh, nice.

**Ruby Innes** (3:02)
My hydrolight so I can say hi to it. Anybody not drinking enough water lately?

**Joel** (3:10)
I had a 500 ml can of V, which is basically like game of water. Yeah, that's true.

**Ruby Innes** (3:16)
It's kind of like having five waters in one.

**Jackson** (3:19)
Duscher gave me a really thick oak milk. It was mysteriously thick.

**Ruby Innes** (3:25)
I think that you, Duscher, are setting yourself up for disaster by ever offering Jackson milk.

**Jackson** (3:34)
It wasn't like a thick shape thick. It was like a breakfast sort of thick.

**Joel** (3:39)
Like an up and go?

**Jackson** (3:40)
Yeah, it was up and go thick.

**Ruby Innes** (3:42)
Are you lactose intolerant, Jackson?

**Jackson** (3:44)
No, they're very opposite.

**Joel** (3:45)
In any way?

**Jackson** (3:46)
No, it makes me strong.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:48)
It makes you strong.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:50)
Because you know what? You to me are spiritually lactose intolerant.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:55)
What does that mean?

**Ruby Innes** (3:57)
You give me an energy that milk doesn't agree with you.

**Jackson** (4:02)
But I drink it anyway?

**SPEAKER_3** (4:03)
But yeah, very much so.

**Ruby Innes** (4:05)
Which almost makes it more exciting that it actually does the opposite and makes you strong.

**Jackson** (4:11)
I think so too.
