This podcast is brought to you by Verst. Guys wear that guys wear.

**Barrett** (0:04)
This fantasy football draft season, Verst Limitless Pants should be at the top of every guy's watch list.

**Tim Gettys** (0:09)
Because while some guys are sweating whether to risk it all on an up-and-coming rookie, fall back on a trusted vet, or to just ride with whatever the auto-draft tosses at them, gearing up with the Limitless Collection's versatility, comfort and style is always a sure thing. Verst.

This episode is brought to you by Facebook.
So you were scrolling on Marketplace, and there it was, the bike you'd been searching for. You sent a message, and it turned out the seller was super chatty, kinda funny, and an avid cyclist. The next thing you know, you're in a cycling crew. Well, a community cycling group. The thing about Facebook, you might find more than what you're looking for. From a browse to a bike ride, this summer find more on Facebook.
This episode is brought to you by Starbucks. That is fire. Whoa. That's good. This might be the drink of the summer.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:08)
Okay, I like this one too. I'm rocking with it, okay.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:10)

Today's gaming news stories include literally one of the most unhinged things I've ever heard a CEO say, and that is saying something. Netflix is shutting down another couple of studios, and you smell that? It's Kingdom Hearts, baby. We'll have all this and more because this is Kingdom Hearts.

**Andy Cortez** (1:53)
I thought that was on purpose.

**Barrett** (1:54)
Yeah, I thought that was on purpose, too. And like, we could have like played it off. We could have stopped laughing.

**Andy Cortez** (2:01)
The audience didn't hear you say no.

**Barrett** (2:03)
Like, you said no when the intro played, so you could have just played it off. Like, oh, yeah, that's what you did on purpose.

**Tim Gettys** (2:09)
I fuck up all the time, and it's fine. This is one of the few times I'm embarrassed. I feel myself like turning more red than I just naturally am.

**Andy Cortez** (2:16)
Is it because you're a point into the screen?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:17)
I just, I don't know.

**Tim Gettys** (2:19)
I got Kingdom Hearts on the freaking mind, man.

**Andy Cortez** (2:21)
I mean, it's Friday. I didn't bat an eye. I thought you were just like doing it. Yeah.

**Tim Gettys** (2:26)
Yeah. I could have just continued Kingdom Hearts Games Daily. I could have just, no, I didn't, though. I just, I got stuck.

**Andy Cortez** (2:31)
It sounded good to me, but yeah, Chad, like Barrett was mentioning for reference, he said, this is Kingdom Hearts. The intro plays, and he goes, nope. That was not what I meant to say.

**Tim Gettys** (2:42)
Great job. What's up, everybody? Hi, GIF. Welcome to Kinda Funny Games Daily for Friday, August 14th, 2026 This, of course, is Andy Cortez. Andy, how are you doing?

**Andy Cortez** (2:54)
I'm doing great, Tim. Good morning.

**Tim Gettys** (2:55)
What's your weekend looking like?

**Andy Cortez** (2:58)
Trying to play more of an embargoed video game.

**Tim Gettys** (3:02)
Love that for you.

**Andy Cortez** (3:03)
And a lot more Red Dead Dutch.

**Tim Gettys** (3:05)
Yeah. Where are you at in your Red Dead journey?

**Andy Cortez** (3:09)
Um, it's a great question.
You know, there's a there's a murder mystery in Red Dead that is just like a side thing that you just happen upon. You like walk up and there's like a body flayed out, like hanging by its hands, like torso gone and it and it written in blood. It's like, don't believe his lies or some shit like it's not that. But like there's like some shit and you're like, oh, what's this? And you stumble upon. So like I have that going on. There's other side missions that I need to kind of get back to.
But then, you know, Dutch needs more money. Arthur, I need more money. Arthur, the camp we could use. We could. I would love to have a better student.

**Tim Gettys** (3:53)
I just see the talking horse, Arthur.

**Andy Cortez** (3:56)
So we're doing that. But I think maybe two thirds of the way through, you know, of the main story. And then there's an epilogue that, you know, you kind of forget about. But it's there.
