Zelda Discussion

Jerry and Eddie discuss their excitement for the new Nintendo Switch and potential upcoming Zelda games. Jerry expresses his dream for a remake of the original Zelda game in the style of the game's booklet art. They ponder whether the Zelda series is declining in quality, comparing it to the Police Academy franchise, but ultimately agree that the recent Zelda games are improving.

Sports Talk and Geek Out

The hosts briefly discuss the New York Knicks' coaching situation before transitioning to the "Geek Out" segment. Jerry talks about his newfound interest in Street Fighter 6, inspired by playing Claire Obscure fish 33. Despite not having played Street Fighter in years, he feels confident in his parrying skills and considers playing competitively. He recalls his past experiences with Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, mentioning his preferred characters like Ken and Subzero. Eddie jokingly suggests Jerry should leave his family to pursue a professional Street Fighter career.

Andrea's Opinion on Street Fighter Career

Jerry jokingly considers leaving his family to pursue a professional Street Fighter career, prompting Eddie to suggest getting his wife, Andrea's, opinion. Andrea joins the podcast and humorously responds to the hypothetical scenario, stating she is half expecting Jerry to do something similar and would allow him one groupie during the event.

Eddie's Geek Out: Deadshot Figure

Eddie shares his "Geek Out" item: a Deadshot figure from the 80s Suicide Squad comics. He expresses his love for the character and how the figure captures the comic book version well. Eddie discusses how he organizes his DC, Marvel, G.I. Joe, and Star Wars figures on separate shelves. He criticizes Will Smith's portrayal of Deadshot in the Suicide Squad film, stating it didn't do justice to the character's comic book origins. They compare Deadshot to Bullseye and Hawkeye, highlighting Deadshot's conscience and moral ambiguity.

Finger Blast Song of the Day

Jerry introduces "Slow Hand" by the Pointer Sisters as the "Finger Blast Song of the Day," describing it as a song about finger-blasting. Eddie agrees, suggesting it should be a national anthem. He then reveals his song choice: "One" by Metallica, which Jerry guesses correctly. Eddie explains the song's dark lyrics and imagery, suggesting a unique interpretation of the song's meaning.

Beverly Hills Cop 2 Soundtrack

The hosts discuss the Beverly Hills Cop 2 soundtrack, with Eddie expressing disappointment in the movie compared to the first one. He recalls a childhood memory of seeing the film with his mom and saying the f-word for the first time. They praise the first movie's writing and character dynamics, particularly the relationship between Axel Foley and Tagert. Eddie considers Bob Seager's "Shakedown" as the best song on the soundtrack, despite considering it one of Seager's worst songs.

Super Nintendo Game: Regulate

Jerry and Eddie brainstorm ideas for a Super Nintendo game based on Warren G and Nate Dogg's "Regulate." They outline the premise of the song and envision the game as a Double Dragon-style beat 'em up. They discuss incorporating elements from the song into the game, such as fighting enemies and rescuing women. They debate whether Michael McDonald should be a hidden playable character or the final boss, ultimately deciding he should be a downloadable skin unlocked by purchasing the soundtrack. They imagine Michael McDonald as an overpowered character with Mortal Kombat-style fatalities.

Outro

The hosts thank listeners for tuning in and encourage them to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast. They promote nerdyte.com and set a goal to reach 8,000 downloads next month. They jokingly consider creating a video game based on Kenny Rogers' "Six-Pack."

3:03 big one today. We got a big one. It's the Geek Out, of course. Sure. We're going to have a finger blast song of the day. I think I picked an easy one. I cheated. I really cheated. I picked a controversial one. I picked one that uh it's um Ace of Spades. We'll see. No, no, no, no. We'll see. One by Metallica. That is what I picked. You shut up.

There's a Yeah, that's what I That's why I picked it. I can't believe you guessed it.

3:48 Mine's an easy one. You're okay. So th now this is your must listen segment of the show is hearing Eddie now defend how do you don't have to defend it to me. I'm ready to finger blast the one by Metallica but as we're going to geek out. We're going to finger blast the best around this is easy too. I think the Beverly Hills Cop 2 soundtrack but I think it's fascinating. The best song in this for me is and then we're going to make the Super Nintendo game. It should have been. We're making a video game out of the Warren G and Nate Dog song, Regulate. So, a lot going on out there. Welcome to the Ram. There's a lot going on. I

4:34 finished my pre-order today. I'm all done. So, tomorrow I will go pick up my Switch, too. I'm very [ __ ] excited. Wow. Are you Mario Kart? Are you rest of the day just Mario Karton? God, I wish I could. I might I just might. There's going to be a lot of it. I might stream it at nine o'clock at night uh Cali time when it's when I'm actually able to get home with it. What is the game that's that is coming out for it that you're looking forward? Is there have they announced a big game coming out for it that you're looking forward to? Right now it's a Mario Kart. There's a new Donkey Kong, which is like the Donkey Kong 64 one. It's going to be more of like a Super Mario 64 type game as opposed to the regular sides scrolling Donkey Kong. So, I'm excited for that. But that's it. I mean, Metroid Prime 4

5:20 is the given. That's the given. Are they working on a new Zelda game for it? I no idea. I hope they are. I'm hoping I'm hoping that's a surprise crit this Christmas. Like, guess what, [ __ ] Tada! Booya! Here we go. That's a lot to ask though because there's been kind of a blitz of really great Zelda games. So, I can't imagine that they'd have, you know, I would love it though if they had something for Christmas. If it was just reeling in a rocket, ready to go, I would be [ __ ] Is Zelda starting to go the way of Police Academy for you? Is it getting to the point where like, okay, we could stop doing these now? No. Never. Never. Because police academy never stopped. Police Academy never got there.

6:05 Even though Even though they lost the Goots, they kept going. Mission to Moscow. Has several Oscars that could have been handed out. Has Zelda lost the Goots and their version of the They're just getting better. It's weird. It's like It's like with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, it's like they just got the Goots. It's like they just signed the Goots to Zelda. It's like they started with Mission to Moscow and they're working backwards. That's That's what's happening here. You know, can I tell you my dream Zelda game? Sure. I would want here, hear me out on this. A complete remake of the very first one that we had. Okay. Okay. But it's made to look just like that booklet for the

6:51 game. Remember how it looked like it was part of a cartoon? [ __ ] Yeah. If it's just give Oh my god. I wonder why they've never done a remake of the original Zelda. I know. I would love that. And it's in a different in a different in a different form. Yes, that would be so [ __ ] cool. That's my dream is if they remake the first one, but they do it where it looks like the cell-shaded because I remember feeling jipped when I got the game thinking, is there is this like a [ __ ] cartoon movie in Japan? When I saw the Zelda booklet, I was this is [ __ ] incredible. Where are they? Hear me out, Nintendo. Remake Zelda the original. Yes. In that version. And the little disc thing, the little thing, the little game case for the Switch. Make that

7:36 gold. A shiny little gold thing. Who's upset by this? It's a billion dollar idea. Who's upset by this? Jesus Christ. Who's upset by this? My god. Lines for days around the block. Days, man. Gee, did the New York Knicks get rid of their coach too quick? Uh, yeah, cuz they were what, a laughingtock of the league like three years ago? He got to the [ __ ] Eastern Conference Finals and now they're they were in the Eastern Conference Finals and kind of clawed back after what happened to them. Everyone wants to make fun of sports futility, especially the Cowboys. And dude, the Knicks have like what 20 years on the Cowboys as far more than 20

8:21 [Music] more than I mean they were they were at least competitive in the early mid 90s. what they go last final years. They lost to the Spurs with John Starks missing both free throws and and uh they've been a joke ever since. It's crazy. It's crazy. And they were kind of a joke when they were competitive because everybody knew they were never going to win. They're going to blow it. And now they get I I It's weird. [ __ ] weird now. Look at that sports talk, baby. Look at us. Look at us. Um, now the geek out. It's time, Eddie. My goodness. Okay, I'm doing something ridiculous. Yeah. So, first of all, and it's there's a reason, as you

9:08 know, this game should sponsor the Ramble with how much I promote it. Claire obscure fish 33. I'm I'm loving this game so much. And the main hook of it is parrying on defense, right? Okay. and doing certain button mashes on offense to get certain. It's [ __ ] fantastic. But it's gotten me delusional, Eddie, and I'm thinking I can play Street Fighter again. Oh, like I have Street Fighter 6. Had it since it came. Never touched it, right? Just so I bought it when it came out. Now I I finally downloaded it and I'm like, I'm gonna get smothered. I'm gonna play some [ __ ] 10-year-old from [ __ ] you know, Japan is gonna beat the [ __ ] off me in 10 seconds. But I'm part of me is

9:57 thinking, hey, I get these parries. You think you can get back in the ring? I think I could get back in this game. I think I can You can pull You can pull a George Foreman back in the George Foreman Street Fighter. Or is he going to go like Bernard Hopkins? It's going to get knocked out of the ring.

The guy that would throw the ice. The ice guy. Subzero. Subzero. That was my guy too. I was Subzero. Subzero guy. Uh a little bit of Kung Lao, the guy who had the the the razor blade helmet hat. That guy in part two. And then uh big in Street Fighter. I I was o pretty okay with Ken. Okay. And then uh I tried to get good with Guile but never could. Always wanted to be good. I guess when I played the few times I did play Street Fighter was Ken, I think. Yeah, I liked Ken. I like Ken because he did the little [ __ ] talk this move. Yeah.

And he goes, "Fuck Rambo." Right? That's that's his line. He's like, "Fuck Rambo." Because he's got the [ __ ] rocket launcher, right? And my mom goes, "What did he say?" Cuz she couldn't hear it. And I was like I lean over like, "Fuck Rambo. You're like, and I was like, it was just

27:04 so weird cuz she just leaned back and just kept watching. I was like, I just said [ __ ] to my mom. [ __ ] Rambo, man. Yeah, I not a great film. Very disappointing. And also cuz one is just so good. One one's great from beginning to end. One is, you could say, is is is very close to a perfect comedy, action comedy. I mean, just from the the way it opens up with the Pointer sister song and the truck going through the [ __ ] streets. Oh, if Detroit, what a way to open a movie and then you go you go he goes to Beverly Hills and he's like that he's the fish on water in Beverly Hills and then you got uh Balky is in the [ __ ] art. No, I cannot. No,

27:49 I cannot smell to make him a [ __ ] cappuccino or whatever. And it's just I just felt like this one was just trying to copy the same beats but not as well. As a little kid, I remember dying laughing when he goes, "Get the [ __ ] out of here. No, I cannot." Like I was like, "This is brilliant." like Serge was, but everything about the first one was because it really the whole thing with um his two guys of course Judge Reinhold and the other actor I don't know why I'm Billy and Billy and uh Tagert. Yeah, man. You really believe that they don't like Axel Foley until Yeah. they get to

28:36 know him? Yeah. Like you really believe that they they they I like how Billy and Tagert start to gradually well Billy easier, but I like especially how Tagert starts to gradually like him. Like I I think you and they see he's doing the right thing and he they need to follow him because he's doing what is right. I mean, I would I would think the actor who played Tagert was so good in that first film that if you were to ask him, was there a secret about your character that you didn't tell anybody that only you knew and he would say he hated black people? You know what I mean? I guarant right. And he and he literally Foley was able to break all of his, you know what I mean? Like misconceptions about race. He I guarantee it's it's just it's

29:24 Tagert's and that's why I love the Tagert character and I I just love his dynamic with Foley and like it's just it was [ __ ] great. But you you don't have that in Bless Cop 2 and that's that was so that was so much what the first one was. Yes. It's not supposed to be nice to a black guy. Like it was this Detroit cop going to Beverly Hills and not meshing with how he what they do and how he works. And then but after that's gone, what you don't have another movie. There's no sequel there. What was surprising about the first Beverly Hills cop was how uh the boss, why am I forgetting the chief, the one who got shot at the beginning of part two, the the chief in of Beverly Hills, how he's actually the only one who treats Foley with more respect than at the beginning. You think he's going to be like the but

30:10 he's just so he doesn't like Foley because he's so by the book. Yes, that's the only different like but he actually he can because he knows that he's a good cop and he gets it. He sees that right. He can't do that here. He can't do that here. It's just [ __ ] great. Now the soundtrack is through the roof. We've talked about this. And they got the bad guy that looks like Vlad Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin. The bad guy. [ __ ] Yeah. And he I mean, come on. What else do you need? You have the Mike. It's I think the the funniest I I couldn't stop laughing at the we're not going to fall for any banana in the tail. Are you not going to fall for a banana in the tail

30:55 fight? It's got to be have some more emphasis, bro. They're like, "Look, man. I fall for no banana, but my tail [ __ ] kills me, man. Fuck." But Beverly Hills Cop 2 is fascinating because it should have been better and it wasn't. Yeah. And I I just don't know if you can tell the story because what what made the first one great is all those relationships and working through those relationships. If anything, bring Tagert and Billy to Detroit, you know what I mean? Like do so, you know? Don't go back to Beverly Hills, right? Um, but what I what I thought was interesting was the best song I think of the soundtrack is the worst song this guy's ever done and it's Bob Seager Shakedown. It's the main song. Shake down. Break

31:41 down. You [ __ ] It's a terrible song, but it's his best the best one of this. Isn't that weird? Like I think that is a terrible and I'm a Bob Seager guy. I'll give Bob Seager all the [ __ ] Do you know you know that went to number [ __ ] one? Well, Shakedown was number one. Shakedown was number one, you know. And the only reason I say I don't I don't count this because George Michaels I Want Your Sex. That was not really for that album. That was already a song. Yeah, that was already I mean it was a third hit from the soundtrack, but it was on his It was a So like Bob Seager didn't have a [ __ ] Shakedown album all about, you know what I mean? Like Yeah. Like cuz you got Shakedown, Bob Seager, Be There by Ally Willis in Warrior Sisters had another

32:27 song. Corey Hart had one, I think. Like, hold on. Hold on. I I I think I got to go sh Better Way, Love Hate, Cross My Broken Heart, 36 Lovers, I can't stand it. Look, if it were, it's no question I want your Sex Doors, Michael, right? Like, no qu like that is objectively the best song to buy on this soundtrack. I would have I would agree. Shakedown. But but as far as like the songs that you associate with that movie, with that movie, it's got to be Shakedown. Sad. It's fascinating how Bob Seager can get the gold with with his worst song. With his worst song, he can still bring home a gold medal. Like, and what is that? Is that

33:12 like literally I think what this the purpose of that song? That is something that like a 60something white guy in a pool hall [ __ ] to. That's probably the peak of shake, right? Or would you agree? He's probably he's probably getting like a half hard [ __ ] from a hooker paid 20 bucks, too. Skull a skull guy who's who's even like his grandkids don't want to talk to him. Like it's not even his kids. His grandkids want nothing to do with him. Like and he's got to pay some some used up, right? And he does this dance. Every white guy in a pool hall that that's how he [ __ ] too. He [ __ ] with those moves. That little blues. There's some shitty blues song. He just does that dance. Like that's the one go-to dance for every white guy in the pool. And that's how he bangs. That's it. There it is. I think that's shake

33:58 down. Shake down. Break down. You busted. It's terrible. Terrible. It's so bad. But then like it's the best. H. It's so weird. It's so weird. God damn. We got to watch Beverly Hills copy. Do you think Cody seen that? No. Did you see? I'm just guessing. No. No. Did you see the new one? I didn't see the Netflix one. I didn't see it. It now it's it it's the Force Awakens. It's the Force hitting all the old notes. Oh, yeah. It's The Force Awakens, but it's good because everybody's gets to be funny in it, right? It's it's it's good. It's But it is a thousand% The Force Awakens. I never saw three. There was a three, wasn't there? There was four. I missed three as well. I missed three. It was

34:45 really bad. And I was like, uh, so I've only seen one, two in this most recent one. And I I the most recent was a lot of fun. It and it but it is it's again it's the Force Awakens from Beverly Hills Cop. But it's it's now here we go, Eddie. It's time the Super Nintendo game. Warren G and Nate Dog regulators up. So let's before we go any further. Yeah. To those who might not know the premise of the song

35:30 is Warren G. I believe. Is it all? Is it Warren? Does Warren G do everything? I think Warren G meets some women, right? Yeah, I believe. Uh and and he's it's like, "Oh, we're gonna we're gonna fuck." Yeah. Right. And we're gonna It's Let's get it on. We're getting it on. Right. No, no, no. Never mind. Time out. Time out. No, no, no, no. Sorry. Warren G is just out for the night and Nate Dog is driving around Long Beach. Okay, Nay Dog is out looking for Poon. He's looking to find Warren G, but he finds Pune instead. He's he he comes across Pune instead of Warren G. Warren G is just out minding his own business. Mind his own business. And then Warren G finds some

36:17 dudes on the on shooting dice. So I said, "Well, let's do it." And they jumped out. And it turns out they're mugging him. Okay. And so So is this all the be the opening screen? the opening video before the game starts. And so now Nay Dog has to go find save Warren G. See, that's what I'm wondering. It's like so but here's so in the song Nog Nog finds Warren G. Okay. Okay. Right. And then um they murdered him. Nate Dog shows up. Nate Dog shows up. Takes a few shots. I think he, you know, I'm sure tosses a gun to Warren G. They kill all these

37:05 guys. Okay. And but Nate Dog's like, "Oh, by the way, you know, there's [ __ ] like a block and a half down. If you want to go [ __ ] you go get some [ __ ] right?" Until they just go to a hotel. The next stop is the East Side Motel. So, do we just take the old the original version of Double Dragon and just sort of lay over? That's what I'm wondering. Like, is it just lay over Nate Dog and Warren G on the Double Dragon. So should it So what I'm what I'm questioning to you is do does each level do they take on guys and then there's one freak they [ __ ] at the end of each level, right? But you have to collect all of them and then at the end

37:51 there's like eight or nine chicks you [ __ ] Yeah. There's like Yeah. You get what I'm saying? Well, then you have to fight each other to get all the chicks. Like Double Dragon. Yeah, like Double Dragon. So, so instead of the one instead of the one girl you're both fighting over, you're fighting over eight or nine. Like an entire [ __ ] eight or nine. An entire gaggle of hookers. Or who goes second? The loser. Yeah. Who goes second? Go second. Yeah. Who gets the sloppy seconds? Here's the important question, Eddie. Yeah. Just because of the song. Yeah. Is Michael McDonald a hidden playable character? Is he the final boss? I don't know if he's the final boss or a playable. I I'm trying to figure this out because there

38:37 is no regulate without Okay, [ __ ] no. Okay, how about this? You You have to buy when you buy the warrant. When you buy the CD with the song on it, it comes with a code that you can now download the Michael McDonald skin to play with as to play in the game. So, you have to buy the soundtrack to the game and then you unlock Michael McDonald and then you can unlock Michael McDonald with a special code. We're not anymore. Okay. Okay. Things will never be the same again. How great. And the and the key is if you get to the final stage with Michael McDonald, all the women just want him anyway. So there's no final battle. You don't have to fight any. They're just [ __ ] Michael McDonald. They're just [ __ ] Michael McDonald.

39:25 Is he like more of a vulgar character? Like cuz like Nate Dog and Warren G just kill the guys, right? Yeah. But like does Michael McDonald just like rip off their dicks? I think he's he's just he's barehanding them. He's just ripping them apart and taking like heads off. He's super oped. He's like curb stomping. He's doing Mortal Kombat Mortal Kombat fatalities left and right on these guys. Okay, we're good. We're not anymore. I mean, wow. Huh? Yeah. Is this

40:11 now is this now I'm asking is this a sequel or a pre has to be a sequel then. And now do we get a prequel game or was there already a ride like the wind game where you were Christopher Cross and Michael McDonald trying to make it to Mexico or do we do a crossover? Oh, or could this be like Turtles in Time where just Warren G and Nate Dog regulating throughout different eras in history and like maybe that's it. Maybe they [ __ ] a different they pick up a different chick from you know the cave every decade. Every decade, right? And then MC I like this. I mean the same thing though just like Double Dragon but mix some time travel rental. Are you buying this? I'm

40:58 buying this. This is because you wanna you want to down you want to get the code to download Michael McDonald. You're [ __ ] if you rent it. You can't get Michael. You're [ __ ] You don't want you don't want to do that. No, you're you're buying this. And is the cover just both like Warren G and Nate Dog on the cover like Double Dragon, but then you just see a silhouette of Michael McDonald behind it. That's exactly it. That there it is. like a profiled silhouette of I mean what a game. I'm buying this thing. I'm buying it. I'm buy I'm buying two. I'm buying one to play, one to keep sealed forever. Yeah. Right.
