GMMore 591: Computer Games in the 80’s

you know what I do already cops you know what I do on people who spit up like that I spray them with machine gun it’s just it’s like though I got a pink tip on the end of it what you know how those fake guns have tips on the another there are charge I was thinking of a baby it’s either blue no pink um okay here’s what’s about to happen Rhett is going to reminisce about all the fun times he had and miss ever arts class fourth grade class the Hutt was a Hut class and uh familiar with us and then I’m gonna feel left out just like I did in fourth grade because I was in this trans class and we didn’t have a computer we didn’t have a cottage we didn’t have well technically being outside in the the huts as they called them should have been seen as a privilege but as we separate but as we have discussed before if you’ve watched a lot of soft we talked about we have discussed this in some way shape or form but your mom made an interesting decision it I was just as smart as you in fourth grade he was he was a smart kid but for some reason your mom thought you were stupid I don’t I mean that she could had her reasons when you’re when kids are little my mom is hard to tell my miss miss ever no no miss Everhart had a what’s the word a reputation hate no no it was a computer what no I mean I don’t want to rehash this she had a reputation bitter about this she had a reputation of being very hard on her students and my mom okay was concerned that uh she assigned too much homework if she was she didn’t want to be too hard too hard on her only child oh I got it so she said that she requested that I not being miss ever she didn’t think you were stupid right she just thought you were weak so in the she had heard things about that class and not nightmares from other students it was she’s one of the best teachers ever had was she difficult yes you she’s demanded a lot but she had Oregon Trail and she was in a hut we spent all day in a hut you missed out man I missed but miss ran was a great great great teacher miss Rand egg you know what my brother when we moved to North Carolina my brother had a class with Miss Rand how did that go he didn’t understand a word she was saying so yeah I didn’t I didn’t we had to go to the computer room to use the computer in it we had a computer in it was a floppy disk and I would so I played Oregon Trail I was riveting but the thing that I did not understand is what else a computer was for I mean I don’t you know miss Everett was an incredible teacher and maybe my memory serves me incorrect Lee but all I did on that computer was play games and I pretty sure it was an Oregon Trail was a teaching game you learned history oh there were I don’t your oxygen all the rocks what the winds a dindim past in the pet they didn’t tell you what a dysentery was but you but you your interest is piqued to find out he was ears on one thing what about where in the world is Carmen Sandiego is that the same time I think so yeah because that ones are good too well I never found her that was geography geography I searched all over the world for her um she’s slippery uh one of the things that we didn’t hit on in the Oregon Trail in the hunting challenge our challenge that somebody reminded me of later was you would go hunting and you would you would you would kill like bear bear was very rare and then what would happen was like you have like 2,000 pounds of meat you can carry 80 pounds you remember that so you couldn’t you would shoot all this all this game but then you couldn’t carry all of it today you had to leave it to rot you had to leave it behind what a shame so what we should have done is after I shot you with the paintballs I should have I should have quartered you and left some of you behind because I couldn’t carry him in a wagon you think he could carry a lot of bear meat more than 80 pounds he ain’t I mean that’s something’s got to go at some point and see you wouldn’t have known that if it weren’t for Oregon trip only shoot what you can carry kids that’s the lesson of Oregon Trail only shoot the game you can carry only shoot the animals you’re going to eat if you can carry and I will you went out on to your destination I’m I’m relatively I’m actually I’m 100% certain we did there was no mouse when did the mouse come out when did they attach a mouse Apple – how’s miss ever hearts class computer did not have a mouse there was no mouse it was it was the keyboard it was all keyboard based no icons no but you could play a heck of a game Oregon Trail on there yes did Apple to have a mouse I don’t think it was an apple – man look kids react to Apple – computer is that is that a fine brothers thing probably yeah yeah see there it is that’s what that’s what we had there’s no mouse on that thing I mean maybe there was a mouse attachment but there is no mouse but you’d have hours of fun on that it says with no hard drive in mouse yeah yes we like to Apple to computer with no hard driving Mouse yeah so you couldn’t operate a computer without a disk it was it was a keyboard right but I’m saying it couldn’t the computer itself wasn’t storing any programs you just had to put the disk in the Oregon Trail let’s go did you guys play Oregon Trail growing up it was like required right no one ever beat it though because you never had you didn’t have enough time to play it in one sitting you can’t beat or the trails they need a 15 minute break is Oregon Trail beatable yes I always died you always ah that’s because you would always jord the river Oh Jordan and the neat part for George I was pretty good at it never beat it uh never and I definitely never be Carmen Sandiego but our that was a good television show with a Rockapella did they uh yes the odd where in the world is Carmen Sandiego yeah yeah I remember that what a good show I didn’t I didn’t I wasn’t fond of the show never watched it good picky man I wasn’t picky I just had an opinion how did you not you liked a lot of other stuff you didn’t like Carmen Sandiego you like about it it’s to educational I could see right through that I don’t want to be entertained what do you think Rach I’m a hella is up to right now oh gosh he what the internet is for raka pella oh look look they’re on iTunes they have an official website oh here they are singing where in the world is Carmen Sandiego in 2007 go to their official website they posted on Facebook 15 days ago happy birthday Oh crud link they’re gonna be in Florida here in the South Anna the touring the South there they’re still playing do you think they sing that Carmen Sandiego song when they play I hope not I think that they’re plotting to kill pentatonix do you think it’s one of those groups that typically with with acapella groups you replace members over time so if you click on the guys on their website you can look and tell mm yeah these are guys are not all original no they definitely have upgraded they’ve got some younger blood in there there’s a cut that guy in the middle is probably original they’re trying to look cool but once they open their mouths and start singing it so I think they look pretty cool I think I’d be I’d be back into this you you don’t like acapella Jeff George Steven and Calvin you have a thing against acapella music you’ve made this very clear many times and I got to say I would never buy a and album but I will enjoy an acapella concert just as much as the next guy because it’s in person no it’s all about in person the looks on their faces don’t it’s all I don’t look at him I just look at him with my ear you go in blindfold no I just say I’m not gonna make eye contact I’m just gonna listen to these voices blending I mean look there’s nothing between us and the audience it’s very human music with nothing missing says Rockefellers human beatbox see they have a human beatbox they’ve got a human beatbox he didn’t have that back in today I’m sure the Jeff Thatcher no instruments no tracks no mirrors but never lame I don’t I guess some acapella groups need mirrors pentatonics is just one person with mirrors apparently they fooled us all uh I mean don’t look at their faces though because it’s like looking at a cheerleaders face it like a college basket I think I would enjoy like older people do like overexpress it but think about it I think I can enjoy older people doing acapella younger people to knock a pillows when it gets weird for me the younger they get the weirder it gets because the more likely that they could be doing something else exists this this is a successful band that has been around for years since before we were ever doing anything and I’ll probably be doing it after we stop but it won’t be the same people it’ll be younger people you should replace ourselves look look at this they have been in pitch perfect and innumerable college vocal groups that on the corner of cool on campuses everyone asked pushing it that’s pushing a little CY there they’re trying to say that they’re cool by actually saying we are cool that’s compensating for something they don’t even do that we’ve been we’ve been in the sing-off movies like pitch perfect and innumerable college vocal groups that on the corner of cool on campuses everywhere what yeah they should take that out just let it just be cool don’t say you’re cool that’s rule number one about cool only mr. t on his cereal box commercial can save it unless your mr. t you can say now cool it’s cool if you want me cool like me if you won’t be cool get rid of the instruments and get some friends and go on stage and no mirrors and just start singing that’s cool I pity the fool that like spent a time you
