If you answer a question or something and you get it right, there’ll be like two house points to whatever your house is. And it’s real and that’s embarrassing, right? Well, but you wouldn’t bring backpacks to school. Doing a little grime bruv. I’m grabbing a point with my bruvs, bruv, going to the pub, getting a little shorty, going to the… Welcome everyone, to “Trevor Talks Too Much”. I don’t know if Jamie is gonna leave that part in, but she’s laughing because I was just doing a silly little thing. Welcome to the show where the conversation flows and where it goes, nobody knows not even me. The show also where I bring a cool guest on and we chat and we have a little chat. We have a little chat bruv and- God, please. We have a little chat, bruv and we see if we can maybe be homey. I don’t know what the British people call their friends, bruv. I’m your host, Trevor Evarts, master baker, Mythical soft boy. Today I spoke with Nintendo.Grl. She’s a gamer. She’s on TikTok. She’s a cosplayer. She loves anime and all things in Nintendo. And she was honestly the best. She was a delight. She was from the UK, that’s why I was doing that little British bit, but we talked about all sorts of stuff. We talked about the darker sides of social media. We talked about how British teens are apparently humongous bullies in school. And she talked her way out of a sticky situation that I conjured up for her, that sounds weird. Anyway, I would like to take this time now to formally apologize to all the British people out there listening. What you’re about to hear is going to be filled with lots of jokes, lots of quips, as you might call them. And it’s all in jest. I would like to let it be. I’d like to let the record show. Any jokes made during this podcast about British or American people, are all made in jest. And it’s just a little bit of lighthearted fun, and I don’t want you to take any of it personally, ’cause it’s just a fun little bit that we’re doing. I just don’t know. I don’t know how seriously British people take jokes. It seems like they take, ’em kind of seriously. Which is weird because I feel like they feel that Americans take jokes seriously. There’s a very funny video that we referenced in the show today, but I couldn’t remember exactly the exact video, but then I brought it up after we finished the recording with Nintendo.Grl and it is the funniest video ever. That’s great. And I think Jamie is gonna show it in the episode, but Eddy, are you sure? I just can’t stop. I’ve been laughing at this video for so long. Like I’ve been laughing at it for too long, ’cause it’s the funniest thing ever. Well, the thing is, it’s just that someone out there created that and they took the time to come up with that. And it’s just gold. We talked about the darker, the draining aspects of social media, but I tell you what, people on the internet are very funny. And maybe it is just the unhinged nature of people that spend all of their time on social media and on the internet, but people are funny. Like I wish I was that funny, ’cause I just see these videos people are just making stuff. And I feel like I’m kind of a funny person, but then it’s just like, I can’t do that. I could never come up with that. It’s too funny. It’s too funny. It was just, ’cause there’s like this random stuff. That’s why we get stuck in these holes on the internet is because of all of these random things. And it’s like, you never think about someone probably took hours to actually make that. Yeah. Yeah, no it’s funny. Anyway, I would like to reiterate, I’m apologizing to the British listeners, to the British audience. I promise none of this was personal. It was all made in jest. And anyway we can get into the show. Now you can go experience it for yourself. Please, don’t hate me. Everybody, welcome Nintendo.Grl to the show or Joe. Hello, welcome. Hi. I’m so, so, so excited to be here. So thank you for having me. Yes. I’m so excited to have you here. I would consider myself a Nintendo fan. Probably not as much as you though, considering your name is literally Nintendo.Grl. So I’m excited to talk all things Nintendo and all things, anything. Oh, for sure. I’m super excited. I’ve actually spent the last couple days, like watching a lot of the episodes. Really? Yeah. Sometimes, yeah. While I’ve been watching them, I preferred watching ’em while I do my makeup and stuff like that. And I have it on, on the background and I’ve caught myself, like when you are asking questions to guests, I’ll start answering. ‘Cause you talk too much. And I’ve been told that I talk too much as well, so it should be good. ‘Cause yeah, I’m just ready to completely spill my brains out. So can’t wait. That’s amazing. That’s so exciting. You’ve been practicing, which is great. Yeah. Unintentionally I guess. Yeah. Well now I’m scared, ’cause you’re not coming in blind and you know how much of an idiot I am, but it’s super good to have you here. Do you wanna give a little intro, a little bit about yourself really quick? Yeah, sure. So my usernames are Nintendo.Grl and like most of my socials and I mainly started out on TikTok. It was kind of an accident, didn’t really intend to make social media kind of a job while I was in university. I’m still in university. I will be finishing this May. Nice. But yeah, I mainly make kind of gaming related content, anime related content, that sort of stuff and yeah, that’s pretty much it, I guess. That’s awesome. And you’re in school for Medical Science, right? Yeah. I’m a MEDscience student. I am finishing right now. I’m doing my final writeups kind of thing. Yeah. So we have a bit of a few weeks off right now to do our final writeups, but I should hopefully finish this May. I actually live there so I’m usually not here, but hopefully I was here today. Yeah. Well I’m sorry that I’m taking time away from your studies then, now I feel bad. No, it’s no problem. There’s literally… I would rather do anything than my studies, so- Yeah. I don’t mind at all. Did someone just bang a gong Jamie, did you hear that? I heard that. I didn’t hear anything. I heard it through… Okay, well that’s good. No, someone is banging a gong outside is the nature of working in a studio where people bang gongs. It happened earlier before we started recording. I don’t know, it’s probably Link. Link seems like the kind of guy that would bang a gong. Well, congratulations on almost being done with school. That’s amazing. Thank you so much. Do you wanna do something in the Medical Science field or are you happy to continue being on social media? it seems like you’ve kind of a decision to make, I guess. Yeah, I guess so. I think if someone asked me this question maybe a year ago, I would’ve been like screw the degree, like dunno why I’m still doing it even. I wanna do social media full time. Like this is what I wanna do. But I guess over the past couple months, my opinion of this is really starting to kind of change. Yeah. Because I feel like to have a presence online, you have to be a certain type of person who can mentally handle that. And every day when I wake up and I log onto my socials, I’m reminded more and more of why I’m not the type of person who can mentally handle that. Yeah. So it’s an extremely difficult one because I have actually been researching scientist jobs. So I’m still undecided. If I do get a job, I’ll probably continue with social media part-time but it’s just like, it’s really not for everyone. Especially someone like me who didn’t actively choose to, I didn’t sit down and I was like, you know what? I’m gonna work hard until I get a lot of followers online. I’m gonna make this happen. It was total accident. Yeah. So I feel like it’s all been thrust upon me and it really changed the course of my life. And I don’t know if it’s what I want for a long term thing. Yeah. So, I’m not really too sure. Yeah. I understand that 100%. I mean, I think I’ve talked about it with some guests on the show before. Just like how draining social media is and- Oh completely. Even for me, like I am on the line. I am on the internet, but it’s pretty insulated because I work at like an actual production company. So it’s not like… It’s part of my job to be active on social media and do that stuff. But it’s not like where I get my paycheck from. I get my paycheck from a company. Yeah. And even that sometimes is like, I just need a break. It’s exhausting always being online. And so I understand that if you’re not built for that, then it’s hard. Absolutely. But hey, having a medical degree is a pretty good thing to fall back on. Yeah. Thank you so much. I mean, it’s been super tough trying to balance like actually making the content and the degree at the same time. I usually… ‘Cause I stay in my university like dorm room. Yeah. It’s like, and you know what? They’re like tiny box rooms. Yeah. And in the UK, we don’t really share. I know you guys have like roommates, like usually in college in the States. Yeah. But it’s not like that in UK, you get like a shoebox room and it’s just you. Yeah. So what I do is I’m there like five days a week. And then on Friday night I come home, Saturday morning I wake up early as soon as there’s light outside and I prefilm content for like three weeks all in like Saturday and Sunday. And then Sunday night, I’m back on a three hour journey, back to university. I am so tired. Oh God. I’m so, so, so tired. And I don’t know, there’s a part of me that just while I’m filming, like in my head, it’s just like, what am I doing to myself man? I don’t sleep, I’m always… And I reminisce upon, I never thought this would ever happen to me ever. But I reminisce when I was like 16, 17 and I worked part-time retail jobs. I worked at… It’s called Game. It’s like the UK equivalent of game store basically. Okay. And back then I complained about it so much. I hated it. But now I miss it so much. Yeah. Because although the shifts were tough, when you come home, you can like switch off your work brain. Yeah. And all you have to do is be at home and your work problems from a job like that, doesn’t follow you home. But when social media is your job, you never clock out. Yeah. So that’s what I struggle with the most is I can never truly clock out. Yeah, no, I totally understand. I mean, even for me, when I first started here at Mythical doing stuff with “Good Mythical Morning” and “Mythical Kitchen”, it was like, I had to really intentionally like choose to not read comments or go on social media for any purpose other than enjoyment. Like when I was at home, ’cause I would go home and I would just like, read comments and read stuff on social media about me, go do whatever. And it was like, there needs to be that line of separation where, okay, this is a work thing and now I am not worrying about it or not thinking about it. And so I can’t imagine doing it. I’ve had a couple, like I had Larray on the show. Oh yeah. Who was a member of “Hype House” and we talked about it a little bit. Just how like it is when people like that’s their full-time job, it’s 24-7, it’s always on. And that is not for me. For sure. Yeah. I like to go home… It’s not for everyone. Yeah. I feel like you have to be a certain type of person. And if you are that certain type of person, I really admire that because it’s certainly not me. It’s taken such a toll on me. I’ve actually developed like a physical condition in my hand, just from like typing constantly everything. All my work is on my phone. I’m constantly typing, constantly doing stuff. Now I have to wear a brace on my hand for certain hours a day. Oh my God. It’s so bad. And it really hurts. And I have to go to the doctors for all the time for it. And it’s like, yeah, they have to put steroid injections in my hand now and stuff and it’s- Are you okay? It’s just like, yeah. Are you okay Junna? I’m okay, I promise. It’s kinda a first world problem because it’s so pathetic. Like imagine the doctor being like, when did this start? And I’m like, I type on my phone a lot. It’s kinda pathetic. Yeah. I was making hell of TiToks and it just. Yeah, for sure. It’s part of the job. Yeah, exactly. And it’s just like, it’s moments like that. Like where I’m like, what am I doing with my life? Yeah. But there’s good things about it. There’s bad things about it. Yeah. As with anything. For sure. But you would consider yourself a gamer. Yes. I would. Yeah. I don’t know if everyone on the internet would consider me a gamer. but I do. Yeah. I’ve been… I don’t know recently there’s been a lot of controversy. There’s been a lot of stuff going on. My girlfriend plays video games and I cannot… It makes me really freaking sad how stupid men are on the internet. Yeah. I mean, I don’t know, I guess you’d think that by now it wouldn’t be so much of an issue, but I feel like it seems to be getting a little bit worse. I guess. I don’t know how… I feel like when “Valorant” became a thing, that made it 10 times the worst for some reason. Yeah. God knows why, but yeah I think you’re right. I play a lot of “Valorant” and I mean- Oh for sure. It is just like, it’s crazy. People are unhinged and maybe it’s just because they’re hiding behind a screen and there’s no consequences for their actions. But like- Yeah, I guess so. It is unbelievable how insane people are on that game specifically, but on everything. I don’t know. I feel really bad. Yeah, I have a lot of friends who play “Valorant” and stuff like that. I personally don’t because I’ve come to accept that I’m not a person who enjoys like a lot of online multiplayer games. Yeah. Things like “Valorant” or like “League” and stuff like that. It’s like, not really my thing. I prefer open world games and stuff like that. Like things I can really get immersed in, but I have a lot of friends who play “Valorant” and it makes them miserable. And I don’t know why they keep playing it. It’s usually girls and they’ll be like, “I’m so bad at ‘Val’. Like this is so embarrassing. I need to play.” And it’s like, why is it like a job to, it’s like a chore to play a game to you, because of how toxic it is. ‘Cause they don’t wanna perform badly in front of the other people playing with them. Yeah. And it’s like, that’s sad. I was supposed to have fun. Yeah, it is. I mean, it’s just like, I usually, when I play “Valorant”, I mostly play with my friends and we try and play in five stacks. But occasionally we don’t and it’s like one out of every five games where we just get someone on our team that is completely unhinged. Yeah. And it’s like, what is going on in your life that makes you wanna log onto a video game? Something that is to be played for fun and enjoyment and just rip into random people on the internet. Yeah. I try to act like things like that don’t bother me. Like trolls like that don’t trigger me. But in reality, sometimes it just gets under my skin so much. I feel like I look like that, that Wojak meme where he’s like crying with rage with eyes completely red, that’s me with the heads on just like crying and shaking. Yeah. But then it has like the little mask that’s a smiley face over it. Yeah. The smiley mask. And it’s like wah bro, that’s sad. But behind the mask, I’m shaking. So you play a lot of Nintendo games, I assume. Oh absolutely. Absolutely. Since childhood, yes. Since childhood. All right. Well let’s get into it then. What? This is a bad question because it’s hard to answer. I couldn’t even give you an answer, but do you have a favorite Nintendo game of all time? Yes. Oh, you do? Absolutely. I do. Okay. Well give it to me. People usually don’t expect me to be like, yeah. ‘Cause I play such a variety of Nintendo games, but absolutely, I feel like it’s quite predictable, but “Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild” is the best game I’ve played in my entire life. And when the second one comes out, no one is gonna hear from me for like 1/2 a year. That’s it. Like, I’m literally gonna drop off the face of the earth. Yeah. It’s just, unbelievable. It’s so unbelievable. I’ve played it so many times. Yeah. I’ve finished a DLC so many times, I’ve played it in master mode so many times and I just absolutely never get bored. Have you played it or? Oh yeah. Yeah. No, it’s one of the most phenomenal, like it’s so great. And it really changed like, I mean Nintendo games and I feel like it had like a really big impact on gaming in general, just like this absolutely open world. Like taking something that hadn’t previously been open world and had been like a dungeon crawling adventure or PG, whatever. And then turning it into just one of the most beautiful open world games. It was amazing. I have tons of hours into it. I- For sure. I mean, I feel like it was such a risk for them because when everyone heard that they were making an open world, “Zelda”, everyone was kind of thinking, is this gonna be like a little bit scuffed? Yeah. Yeah. I was kind of envisioning it having the “Twilight Princess” models looking a little bit scuffed. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot about “Twilight Princess”. That was on the Wii right? That was the one on the Wii? Yeah. The Wii. I played that one on the Wii and the Wii was rough. I have to say, even as a massive Nintendo fan, I feel like the switch is everything that the Wii should have been. Yeah. Yeah. No, the switch is like- I don’t know anyone who’s playing the Wii anymore. Nobody. I love my switch. The switch is just like the perfect, ’cause I don’t have a console. I don’t have an Xbox or- For sure. A PlayStation, I used to back in the day. But once I started PC gaming, I was like, I’m never gonna play on a console. Like any game that I would wanna buy on a console, I’d rather have on my PC, but then I got a switch and it’s perfect. It’s amazing. Yeah. ‘Cause you can play it anywhere. I can play it in my living room. I can plug it into my computer and play on my PC if I want. I do that as well. Yeah, you get the whole capture card and stuff. Yeah. Or I can just lay in my bed. Like I can take it on a plane with me and it’s a lot of… I love my switch. I think it’s like a perfect console. I play lots of games. I’ve recently gotten back into. It’s not an Nintendo game, but I’ve been playing a lot on my switch, “The Binding of Isaac”. Okay. Yeah. I have not played that one. It’s great. Well, I remember playing it in high school and then I was watching NL on YouTube and he plays a lot of “Isaac” and I was like, “This looks like fun,” and I killed so many hours, but it’s funny ’cause I play it while I wait for other games. So like- Oh I understand. Yeah, I play like a lot of, “Escape from Tarkov” and so like there’s long queue times in that game and I’ll just play it while I wait and it’s great. Right. I get you. That’s the new level of multitasking. I like that actually. Yeah, it’s the new level of like just not being able to cope with forming my own thoughts. Oh my goodness. Don’t get me started. That’s been killing me recently and it’s a little bit of a tangent off of Nintendo games. But I feel like while I’ve been trying to write my final year projects for my degree, I can’t write a sentence. Like I literally cannot for 30 seconds be left to concentrate on anything and- Yeah. It’s undeniably the effects of things like TikTok, things like Instagram reels. It’s just this instant gratification short form content being fed into my brain. My brain feels like an algorithm now. It feels like an algorithmic system in my brain. Yeah. And I’m worried. I’m worried for a day where I may have kids in the future. I’m worried what it’s gonna be like for them. I’m worried that they’re not gonna be able to sit in silence for five seconds, because it’s actually scary. I don’t know. No. It is. I mean, I remember back when I first started playing video games or when social media was first getting big, like I used to be able to just like sit and read a book or sit and watch a show and that’s all I would do. I would just sit on the couch and I’d watch a show. And now it’s like, I have to be doing at least three things. if I’m playing video games, I have to have a YouTube video open on the other screen and I have to be on my phone. Exactly. Oh my God, we are the same. We are literally the same, because I cannot even go fishing in “Animal Crossing” without having a podcast my phone on my lap like this with a podcast while I’m playing “Animal Crossing”. Yeah. And it’s just like the constant need for simulation in my brain. Yeah. And it’s not good. I’ve been trying to break it. I’ve been trying to kick the habit so bad, but I feel like it’s impossible. It’s gone so extreme with me that I can’t go to the cinema or I guess in America you guys call it the movie theater. I can’t go. Yeah. I was like, “What is she talking about? What is this cinema?” Yeah. In American language, I guess. I can’t go to the movie theater. I really wanted see the new “Batman” movie. Yeah. So I went on the like theater website thing to like book the tickets, and as I was scrolling through to book the tickets, I saw the run time of the movie and I was like, and I didn’t go, I didn’t book it. And I didn’t go. I was like, there’s no physical way I could do this. Yeah. Like I can’t, I’ll fall asleep. Thankfully I love movies enough that I still can go and sit through a movie. But if I’m at home in my room, it’s bad. Like even playing games like “Valorant” where it’s like short cue times. I have to have something over on my other monitor. I have to have a YouTube video. Absolutely. It’s like, I’ll die in a round and I’ll have 15 seconds to wait until the next round. Yeah. And I’m alt tapping to go hit play on my YouTube video, ’cause I’m like, I can’t be alone with my thoughts for 15 seconds. It’s- Absolutely. Absolutely. And I feel like the rise and popularity of podcasts has not been good for me because of this reason, because it’s constant background chatter for me. And Yeah like I said, I was watching episodes of this podcast while doing my makeup. Yeah. ‘Cause I literally cannot do makeup in silence. I cannot, I have to be listening to a podcast. I have to be like scrolling through TikTok. I have… It’s crazy. And I’ve noticed what’s really, really embarrassingly bad is from scrolling through TikTok. If a video is longer than 30 seconds, I’ll probably just skip it. Yeah. Because it’s just not fast enough for me. The instant gratification isn’t there. Yeah. It’s just rough. It’s rough man. Yeah. It’s crazy. It’s crazy how media has developed in that way over the last few years specifically, the attention span of people just keeps getting shorter and shorter. And it’s so hard to like find ways to be like, how do you… You have to capture someone’s attention in like 10 seconds or they’re out the door and onto the next thing. Absolutely. And definitely working in like a media job. It’s been like a digital media job. We’re always talking about like, what can we do? ‘Cause people’s attention spans are just like 10 seconds. If you’re not, I don’t know. It’s hard. It’s weird. But I also can’t hate because I’m the culprit. Absolutely. I’m the one that like can’t. I can’t either, like it’s difficult because TikTok is where I started and I feel like the problem of TikTok is moving onto Instagram with reels and stuff like that, which is encouraging again the short form video content and even like YouTube, the shorts, it’s the short form video content again. Yeah. And I feel like the whole picture is just dying. Like on Instagram, if you post pictures, they won’t be pushed anymore as much as like reels. Yeah. So that makes me kinda sad, ’cause I like taking pictures. I like taking pictures with my friends. I like taking pictures of pretty scenery and stuff. Yeah. But I feel like posting pictures is kind of dying. Yeah. And it’s all video now, which is interesting. It’s interesting in a few years time to see what that will be like. Yeah, I haven’t even noticed on Instagram recently, ’cause back in the day I feel like Twitter, you get a lot of suggested posts. You get a lot of suggested tweets and tweets from accounts you don’t follow and that’s kind of been the way Twitter is for like a minute now. Yeah. But Instagram used to like pretty much only be people that you follow and then you’d see a sponsored post in your feed every once in a while from like a brand. But recently I have been seeing so many videos specifically in my Instagram feed that are just suggested from people that I don’t follow and I hate it. I hate it. I feel like I’m sitting there scrolling. Because that’s not my following tab. Exactly. And I can’t see my friends and families like pictures anymore because it’s just littered with all this stuff. I guess Facebook owns Instagram and I guess that’s why Instagram is being destroyed. Yeah. But it’s just like, it’s becoming such a problem. I don’t go on it anymore. And especially me like, ’cause I use Instagram only from my like public main Nintendo.Grl Instagram. Yeah. So I’ll go through and I’ll be like liking, like liking my friends post and then I’ll like someone completely random’s post ’cause it’s there on my following feed. Yeah. And it’s happened to me before and then instantly I get tagged in a story being like, “Nintendo.Grl is liking my post. She’s stalking my account guys.” I’m like, “I’m not stalking. I’m not stalking your account. It’s just being shoved in my face by this algorithm.” Yeah. It’s definitely weird. I’ve just stopped going on any social. Well, not really. I’ve intentionally tried to go on social media less, I’ll say that. Yeah. Cause I’m probably never gonna stop, ’cause it’s also part of my job. But like- Yeah. Especially posting, like I don’t post anything anymore and I feel bad sometimes when I’m like, I feel like I should give my follower something, but I just like don’t have the energy ’cause it feels like every time I go to post it’s like I’m thinking through my brain, like how can I get as many impressions as possible? So draining, isn’t it? And at the end of the day, you can do all the little tips and tricks in the book. But you are completely at mercy of this algorithm. Yeah. And if it likes you, it’s your lucky day. If it doesn’t like you today, there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. You’re in the UK, the United Kingdom. For those of you out there that didn’t pick up on that when she said university and not college. I’m kidding. I’m sorry. No, don’t worry about it. No, I’ve got a couple British friends and specifically one of them, well, no, his name isn’t Link, but that’s his YouTube name is Link’sOcarina. He’s the homey. He plays “RuneScape”. “RuneScape”. But anytime he gets drunk, he like, he just mess. He’ll just DM me on Twitter. He like drinks a lot during the stream sometimes. And he’ll always like message me on Twitter and then I’ll go and look and he’s like streaming drunk and then I’ll join the stream and then he’ll be like, just like not even playing “RuneScape” at this point. He’s just standing still. And then I’ll send a message and chat and he’ll full screen his webcam. And he’ll pause and he’s like, “Trevor, Trevor.” And then he like just goes on this ring. He’s like, “Everybody we’ve got a celebrity. Trevor is here.” And it’s the funniest thing. Anyway, I like to make fun of him sometimes when he does that. But I wasn’t intentionally trying to make fun of your accent. No, it’s no biggie. I actually see that a lot these days on TikTok. There’s one that they always say, I’m trying to remember. I think it’s like it’s Tuesday in it. Yeah. It’s Tuesday in it. I like- They always go for that one. Rough. Not bad. Not bad actually. I kinda like it, it’s kinda funny. Yeah. I like doing a bad… ‘Cause I don’t know. I think my British accent is like, okay, it’s not like the worst, but sometimes I like intentionally like to do just a really bad one. Just like, “Oi rough, it’s Tuesday in it.” You know what, you could technically be kind of correct. ‘Cause I don’t know, the British accent is so interesting because no matter where you go in England, despite how tiny it is, there’ll be a different accent. Yeah. I have like a London accent and then there’ll be like a Birmingham accent and like a Manchester accent and it’s like all different. So I’m sure that’s someone’s British accent that you’re doing. Someone talks like that. Someone talks like that. Yeah. Someone out there. What was the weirdest part of… Because you grew up in the UK, right? Yeah. What was the weirdest part of growing up in the UK or the coolest part? I would say the weirdest part of growing up in the UK is probably feeling embarrassed 24-7. And I know it sounds very weird out of context, but let me explain. Yeah. ‘Cause I’ve had this conversation with one of my friends before and it was quite revolutionary, ’cause we realized that it sucks we wasted so much of our lives like this, but in the UK, everything is kind of embarrassing. Especially when you’re in secondary school and kids are quite mean. Yeah. So are you ever like doing something and then you become self aware of yourself from an outside perspective and you kind of cringe and you kind of stop what you’re doing? That’s what it’s like. So in UK school, like in secondary school, which is high school, if you brought a backpack to school. Yeah. That’s embarrassing. If you brought a pencil case to school, that’s embarrassing. If you answered a question from the teacher, that’s embarrassing. Like- Wait, wait. These kids are mean. Wait you’re you’re telling me, you just showed up to school just completely dry, no backpack, no pencil case. Like you’re just raw dogging it to school. I couldn’t, that would gimme anxiety. They’ll bring like the worst bags ever. The girls will bring these shoulder bags and the boys will bring these like side bags, like Nike bags or something. And then like, I remember this one person at my school. She used to literally bring like a plastic bag, like a grocery bag with one pen in it. And it was like- How is that not embarrassing? That was the least embarrassing, that was like, cool. ‘Cause you weren’t putting in any effort into school. It’s so strange because bullying is so normal here. And anything you do is embarrassing and it’s super immature and people don’t grow up. But like me dressing the way I do on my Instagram and stuff like that, there’s no way I ever leave the house dressed like that. In fact, my hair used to be pink. It was so embarrassing that I dyed it brown. It’s just like, everything is embarrassing. And I found out when I visit America, I’ve been to a few different states and no matter where I go, I see people walking down the street in like alternative fashion. I see people having backpacks in public. I see people having nice conversations loudly in public. I don’t know, it’s just like all of that stuff I wouldn’t do back in the UK, because I feel like people are always judging me. I feel like it was a lot worse in secondary school, but it’s very judgemental here. Very, very judgemental. If you dress not in jeans and a hoodie, skinny jeans and a hoodie, if you dress not like that, it’s embarrassing and they’re gonna make fun of you. And like teenagers are gonna walk past you on the street and they’re gonna start laughing at you. That is insane. Yeah. Very judgey. I could not imagine. It’s this bad. I remember one time anytime I had, for whatever reason to go to school without bringing a backpack, I like had anxiety. Like I felt naked not having a backpack. So wait, wait, wait. If you did bring a backpack, ’cause I used to bring backpacks, ’cause I really liked backpacks. If I ever had it on two straps, like both straps on, I would get a random person walking in the corridor behind me, grab the like top handle of the backpack and slam it down into like- What? Yeah. Yeah. So try and like knock you to the floor it’s a common thing. So if you do, if you are brave enough to bring a backpack, you gotta have it on one shoulder. I can’t wait to go to the UK at some point and start making fun of people. So wait, I have a question. You’d be doing us a great service. Yeah, I wanna show up ’cause I wear crocs on a regular basis. Oh wow. Okay, good luck. I wear crocs with socks and you telling me I’d get bullied? Are you kidding me? You’d go out in public in England wearing crocs with socks? That’s just- I do it. I do it in a heartbeat. It’s social suicide. No, I don’t care. Why would I care what a British person thinks of me? You know, it’s hard. Every day I wake up and I’m British and it sucks. It’s Tuesday in it, bruv. You got on them crocs there, bruv. Oh no. Yeah. They’d hit you with the one of those. What are those, bruv? You’re gonna come to the rightful, bruv. The red coats are coming. I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to make fun of you there. I was trying to make fun of the people that would make fun of me and- No, no. I do not take offense to it. I feel like people take it so seriously on TikTok. Like there’ll be an American making this silly British sound videos and then everyone in the comments will be like, but what about your, I don’t wanna say it on YouTube, but they’ll be like, what about those lockdown drills you have in your schools? Yeah. Yeah. And I’m like, whoa, who, whoa. It is. They get so mad. Someone literally. I think I’ve seen like meme videos about this, but someone on TikTok or Twitter or something, they’ll just be like, “It’s Tuesday in it.” And then I wanna find the video. And then someone in the replies is like, at least our school’s not a shooting range, bruv I knew it. I knew it. So they’ll be so out of pocket. And I’m like, bro. Calm down. There’s a really funny video though of, I wish I had it. I’ll find it. I will find it and put it in this video. Yes. No thank you. It’s like really funny, ’cause it’s someone making a joke about that scenario and they’re like Americans colon and it’s like, “oh haha. It’s Tuesday in it.” And then just this like face flashes on the screen with like these gnarly tea and it’s like. Oh my goodness. It’s just, it’s never that deep, is it? No. It’s not that deep. It’s just a joke. And they don’t need to take it from zero to a 100 like that. Yeah. The British people are gonna be pretty mad at this one I, think. Yeah, but they can’t be mad. I’m British. Guys, I’m British. Exactly. Don’t be mad. Come on, come on now. We can make fun of ourselves. Come on. We can, hey, I’m stupid. I know that. I’m well aware of the fact that I’m an idiot. You know what? You know what does intrigue me though? I see this a lot in the rebuttal memes that British people say to Americans and I wanna ask about it. Yeah. So are you guys’ walls in your houses made of cardboard for real, because I’ve seen videos of American people punching their walls and you can punch a hole in your wall. If you tried to punch a wall in a house in the UK, you would go to hospital and you would have a broken hand. So do you guys live in cardboard houses? So what you’re speaking of is something called drywall. Okay. So you can punch through it? It’s not cardboard. Yes, but it is called drywall and it’s, I believe it’s just like better for insulation. It’s like between the insulation and the foundation, I guess of what? I don’t know. I don’t know a lot about architecture. Let me look up what drywall is, but it’s called drywall. Sure. And it’s, there’s no definition. That was so interesting. Drywall also called plaster board is a panel and that’s what like the outer walls are made of. And then paint goes on top of that. Right, ’cause I’ve seen things like news articles of like it’s rare cases, but it’s true stories of people, this couple didn’t know that this homeless guy was living in their walls the whole time. And he would come out at night and take food from the fridge. And I’m like, how do you get into a wall? Like, but this guy was living behind the walls. And then I hear other people saying like, oh, it sounds like I have like mice in the walls. And I’m like, why do you guys’ walls like have, how can you go into the wall here? Like the house is super old, like hundreds of years old. It’s all bricks, completely bricks. Like- Yeah. There was something that I was gonna say, I can’t remember though. I’ve completely forgot. It was God giving you a second chance. So you wouldn’t get slandered too much in the comments. I don’t care. British people can slander me. Anyone can slander me. I know I’m stupid. That’s like people don’t understand that nobody out there can hate me more than I hate myself. I like that. And that gives me comfort. That’s true for me as well. Yeah, because here’s the thing, you don’t know I know all of the worst parts about me. You only see what I put out on the surface and what I put out on the surface I would say is pretty good for the most part. And if this- This got dark. Yeah. So no I’m wow, what are you gonna do? It’s a lack of sunlight. It’s the lack of sunlight. See, it’s already depressing. Just you looking into my webcam and seeing that it’s pretty dark. Yeah. You’re casting a spell on me. You’re casting some sort of United Kingdom spell, some British spell. I’m sorry, that’s a joke. I don’t know. Do you know if the UK has witches in the warlocks? You know what? I’m not gonna make a “Harry Potter” joke because I’m so sick of hearing about “Harry Potter”. I think everybody is sick of hearing about “Harry Potter”. But what’s interesting is how in “Harry Potter” they have like the house system, like Gryffindor and all, all of our schools here have that. We do have house systems in all of our schools and it’s real. So were you a Hufflepuff, a Gryffindor, a Ravenclaw, or a Slytherin? In each school, they have different names. Yeah. So it’s a real thing. I don’t know if we have it because of “Harry Potter” or I don’t know if it’s in “Harry Potter” because it’s a tradition in British schools. Yeah. Well- But in my school they were named after famous women. Like I was in the Mary Curie house. Nice. That she was the first woman to win a Nobel prize. Is that correct? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. But yeah, in each school it will be different. Some school have planets and everything, but like, if you answer a question or something and you get it right, they’ll be like two house points to whatever your house is and it’s real and that’s embarrassing. But you wouldn’t bring backpacks to school. You wouldn’t bring pencils to school. That’s why we won’t answer questions to the teacher. Because if they give us points, it’s gonna be embarrassing. Did you really not know that we like actually have house systems in our schools? No, well, okay. So there, I knew that you actually had house or I knew that that was a real thing. I didn’t know about the point. I didn’t know that it was embarrassing to bring a backpack to school in London. Because maybe I just went to a really bad school. Maybe I just went to a bad school, but I feel like when you’re that age as well, like the teenagers are very relentless. I will say they are quite rough. I see the names where it’s like American students wouldn’t last one day in a British school. And I do have to say that’s quite true. That is very true because they’re very ruthless and relentless and bullying is a huge issue here and nothing ever gets done about it. Yeah. Well, so I went to like a small private Christian school in Idaho. I don’t know if you know where Idaho is. Idaho. Yeah. Probably don’t. Idaho is a, got nothing there. Yeah. Okay. Hater. It was like one of those small, I don’t know, is it small? No. Is it big? Well it’s small, sorry population-wise. Small population-wise. Its population-wise is small, but size-wise, I believe it’s the eighth or 11th largest state by land area. Yeah. I don’t know. I watch a lot of true crime videos and I hear that a lot of murders happen in little Idaho towns, but I don’t know. That’s all I know about it. I think that’s just lots of murders happen everywhere. Possibly. Anyway, what I was gonna say is I went to a small private Christian school growing up in Idaho and we had a rival and our rival was, or one of our rivals was a school called Ambrose. Right. See, that’s embarrassing that you guys have school rivals by the way, but continue. It’s not embarrassing. How do you have rival schools? How do you have beef with the whole school? What is a rival school? A rival school, it’s someone that you play in sports and you wanna beat them. Yeah. We don’t do stuff like we don’t have sports. Yeah. Okay. Well we do. ‘Cause this is America. How are you gonna beef with school, bro? We’re gonna beef ’cause they’re . The people in Ambrose, it was like the closest thing to Britain you could get in Idaho. Oh, no. ‘Cause they had the house system. They had the house system and they also like learned the Latin. Everyone had to have a Latin class. Wait, wait, they had a house system in the American school? Yes. Yeah and everyone there- That’s culture appropriation. Was it . And they were pricks. And so we wanted to beat them in basketball. Right. Yeah. See, it’s cool. Because I do see on TikTok, like American teenagers and they’re like, get ready with me to go to the game. And I’m like, what’s the game? And it turns out they mean like games, like they’re doing sports against other schools and I’m like, oh my God. How cool is that? That just doesn’t happen here. Not a thing. We don’t have like competitors. Not even like football or- No. Sorry, soccer as for the Americans, for the Americans out there in the chat. I think boys who do football have these like clubs in like outside of school that you go like an extracurricular activity. Okay. And there’s girls clubs as well. Yeah. But we don’t do like the school competitive sports. And I’m jealous because I hear it’s a big thing, I see like cheerleaders and mascots and things like that in the universities as well, never been a thing here. We don’t do extracurriculars really, so- That’s so weird. Yeah. I was a big basketball player and anytime we’re playing Ambrose. I was like it meant more because they were all pieces of poop. Well, not all of them. I say that they were just like, they were pricks. I don’t know. They were mean. Wow, we’re starting a lot of beef first British people, now an entire school. They know that. I told it to their faces when I was playing basketball against them. Well did you used to beat them or what? I have been silent now. No, I genuinely don’t remember, ’cause I have severe memory loss from like my junior and senior year of high school. So I don’t remember lots of small details. When I see stuff like that, like Americans doing American school things, even if it’s on like a TV show or something, I get major FOMO. I feel like this is a childhood I should have had. ‘Cause it’s cool. I know it sounds quite corny in the UK, but I genuinely think that it’s cool to go to a school and have pride in your school and like wanna represent your school and stuff like that. Never been a thing here. Yeah. Never been a thing. And you’d think it would be, ’cause we have school uniforms and everything like that, but no. And houses. And houses. Exactly. But that’s what I’m saying. I feel like the people here can be super miserable sometimes. Like they don’t like to do fun things like that. Yeah. But I guess it’s not to blame each person. It’s kind of ingrained in the culture that like. Yeah. It’s not cool to do things like that. Well, you wanna know why everyone’s sat there and why it’s ingrained in the culture. Why? Because you lost the revolutionary war. You know what, despite that- Oh, who says can you see. I am a huge, huge, huge “Hamilton” fan. I have seen it multiple times. I adore that musical and it makes me feel like such a traitor. Whenever I see it. I know the whole soundtrack off my heart. I got the playbooks, everything. It makes me feel like such a traitor, but I am a “Hamilton” stan for life. I’m obsessed with Hamilton. Amazing musical. Amazing. That’s really funny. No, you shouldn’t feel like you’re missing out. I mean, high school was fun, but there are a lot of people that like… The romanticization of American high schools in media is insane. Yeah. I suppose. Anything that you see on TV about like, “Oh this is how American high schools are.” And like, “They’re the football players,” and it’s not real and high school is fun. But like I don’t look back on high school and I’m like, “Oh, those were the glory days. Those were the best days of my life with school spirit.” No. And if you do, that’s a weird thing. If you’re one of those people that peaked in high school, that’s like corny. Yeah. ‘Cause every person that you talk to will be like, oh yeah, those are the guys that peaked in high school. And they’re just the most cringe people. Let’s talk about the Japanese spider crab. Why did I know you were gonna ask me about that? I swear to God. I was like, “I really hope he doesn’t ask me about that.” ‘Cause I have one really weird Tik. I was trying to think I was like, you know what he’s gonna do. He’s gonna go through my TikToks and out all of them, he’s gonna find the weirdest one and he’s gonna interrogate me and I knew it. I can’t believe I knew it. And I still didn’t prepare. And we’re here, so. All right. But you know what, first of all, what do you wanna ask me about the Japanese spider crab? Why is it your favorite animal? It’s freaking weird. Okay. So hear me out. So they look scary and awful. They look like massive evil creatures. Yes. When I read their Wikipedia page, my heart softened. Did you know that they are just the big gentle giants of the Japanese oceans? Did you know that? Did you know that? No. I know nothing about them. They are timid. They are friendly. They will never attack you. And sometimes they’ll crawl out the water and just walk around the beach and isn’t that cute?. It’s cute, right? No, ’cause here’s the thing, I don’t care if they’re nice. There’s a lot of animals and insects and bugs out there that are not mean that they’re nice. And they won’t attack humans. They’re still scary. That’s a giant crab. Okay. Okay. But first of all, I love crabs in general. I just think they’re so… I love this. I love “Crab Rave”. I just love crabs. You love “Crab Rave”. Big fan, big fan of “Crab Rave”. Yeah. Yeah. But don’t you think there’s something so comedic and something so oddly wholesome about a creature that looks like that. Having such a gentle temperament and being such a kind creature that just would not harm you whatsoever. I’m looking at a photo right now and they call it the daddy long legs of the sea. Because daddy long legs spiders. They’re big but they aren’t harmful. They’re very good. I have no problems with it. I’m just saying that if I saw one and it started approaching me, I would not reach my hand out to pet it. It’d probably be catching a big roundhouse kick right to the nogging back to the ocean where it belongs. See. That’s out of pocket. That’s not out of pocket. If you’ve seen a photo of this thing. That’s so out of pocket. Have you seen a photo of this thing, you have? That is not out of pocket. This thing is a monster. It’s my life goal to go to like an aquarium in Japan and see one with my own eyes. But one time I was doing like the deep sea diving thing in “Animal Crossing” where you can find sea creatures in the water. Yeah. And my “Animal Crossing” character just pulls out this ferocious big crab thing and its legs were moving like that. And I was like, what is that? I Googled it. And I fell in love. And now I have most of them on my beach in “Animal Crossing”. I set up little bonfires for them to sit around the campfire. They’re really cute. You should visit my “Animal Crossing” island. Joe, that is where you and I disagree. Okay. Well that’s that everyone, the Japanese spider crab. You heard it here first, Nintendo.Grl is the psycho. Oh, this whole time. I’m just thinking in my head over and over like digital footprint, digital footprint. But it’s out there. It’s out there now. And I stand by it. I stand by my stance on those creatures. All right. We’re gonna do a little thought exercise now. Okay, sure. You are gonna try and talk your way out of a scenario, Tim imagine to me or to the people out there. And you’re gonna talk your way out and then I’m gonna judge you and see if you did a good job. So- Okay. Are you ready for the scenario? Okay, sure. You need to talk your way out of a demon possessing your body, go. Right. Okay. First of all, bro, I got demons anyways. So if you possess my body, you two are gonna have those demons and you are gonna have to deal with that and the consequences and the repercussions of that. If you do happen to be my sleep paralysis demon, that does like to watch over me at night, you’ll know I do have many breakdowns all the time. And you are also gonna have to deal with that. You are gonna be in my body. You’re gonna hate every second of it. And you’re just gonna have really low self-esteem. Also, I feel like it would pretty boring because I really don’t do much. I lay in my bed, I numb my brain on the internet. I do my schoolwork and most days I don’t get dressed. I just stay in my pajamas all day. I feel like there’s really nothing much to do. If you were to possess me, I don’t see what you gain from that. It’s kind of boring to be honest. And I just think that there’s more interesting people you could possess. Like, I don’t know, like maybe- Time. Time. Time. What a defense there, just completely ripping yourself to shreds. Just like there. Because why would want to do- This would suck. You don’t wanna be part of this. This is the worst. Save yourself, buddy. Don’t possess me. I’m a piece of . This is- Because this is a demon we’re talking about. If you’re gonna get up there and you’re gonna beg for your life, they’re gonna eat that up. They’re gonna be like, oh yeah, haha beg for your life. And I’m gonna possess you. But if you make it seem like it’s not worth his time, it’s just not gonna bother. It was a 10 out of 10. I gotta say just- Thank you. Just complete- That was wonderful. Thank you. Just completely degrading yourself. Like dude, trust me. If you wanna possess me and kick me out. That is like, I just- At this point, if it chooses to possess me, it’s more his problem than mine to be honest. All right. That was very well done. Great work. If I was a demon in that scenario. And I was thinking about possessing you, I would’ve been like, hell no, I would’ve like called a therapist. I’ve been like, “Hey, do you need help?” Like, can we- You okay, bro? Are you okay? Is that not what you’re expecting me to say? Were you expecting me to beg for my life? No, I wasn’t expecting to beg for your life. I thought there might have been some like rationalization, but completely degrading yourself. And just talking about how dreadful of an existence it is as a way to deter a demon from possessing you. That was, that was a one. So we’re almost running out of time here, but I did wanna ask you, do you do any Nintendo impressions? Do you have any good Nintendo impressions? Nintendo impressions? Yeah. Oh my goodness. You know I’ve never tried before, but I feel like my sister does a really good toad. It’s a shame, she’s not here. She has kind of a hyper fixation on toad. Her room is filled with toad stuff. That’s great. I guess maybe I could, I could try Yoshi. Yeah, let’s hear it. I’ve never tried it before, so- That’s okay. So please don’t laugh at me. I will. Yoshi. Well, it was like good, but it really peaked in the microphone. Oh no. I think it would’ve been better had it not just really peaked. You know, maybe that makes it better though. It kind of adds to the memeness of it. Yeah. Like there’s base boosted memes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you could base boost it a little before posting. Yeah. Jamie, you wanna base boost that and post? Really just everyone’s ear is out. Yeah. I’m gonna figure it out. You deep fry it. Absolutely deep frying. Throwing it in. Well, do you wanna hear my Mario? I think I do an okay, Mario. Yeah, go ahead. Let’s go. Yahoo. That was pretty good. That was pretty good. It’s me Mario, let’s go. I don’t know anything else what Mario says. Yeah. I’ve met him like the voice actor of Mario Luigi. And he did it for me in person. Yeah. And those is pretty good. Pretty good? Pretty spot on, yeah. Pretty good. Thank you. I appreciate that. To be compared to the actual voice actor. Not Chris Pratt, by the way. He’s a super nice guy. Not Chris. No, not Chris Pratt. Not that one. Not that one. No, he’s a super nice guy. I mean, if you voice Mario, I feel like you have to be nice. Yeah. Imagine if he was like just a total . Total D bag. Just like, yeah I voice Mario. What about it? I don’t have time for you. No, I’m not gonna do the impression for you. That’s embarrassing. No, I’m not gonna do the Mario voice. Are you kidding me? You gotta pay for that. Some eight year old. Thank you so much for being on the show. No, no problem. I actually can’t believe it went so quickly. I know. We’ve been talking for like almost an hour now. That’s great. I think a little over an hour. That’s freaking epic. I had a great time. No, it was actually so fun. Usually I was a little bit apprehensive because I’m the kind of person who dreads, like when I have to make a phone call or something, like call a doctor or something like that. Yeah. So I had that kind of apprehensiveness where it was like, “Oh dear, I don’t want to be awkward.” Yeah. But then once you get on the call and it’s totally fine, like that sort of feels like now I had a really good time. Good, I’m glad. Feel free to plug yourself. Tell people where they can find you, anything you got going on. Yeah, sure. So my TikTok and my Instagram is just Nintendo.Grl, Nintendo.Grl. I do have a Twitter, but I don’t really use it that much. So that’s not important. TikTok and Instagram is where it’s at. Awesome. I also have to ask part of the point of the show is for me to see if I can make a friend. So do you maybe wanna talk again sometime? Of course, actually I feel like I still have so much to say, so I would actually love to like talk again some time. Oh, you have so much to say. Yeah. ‘Cause this is really fun. Like I never get to just like talk silly thoughts. Yeah. That’s all we do on the show. So- I love that. That’s also all I do in private personally. For sure. If you ever wanted to, I would seriously love to come on again anytime. Yeah. Yeah. And maybe we can maybe just play some “Mario Kart” or something sometime I’ll destroy you. Oh, that would be sick. That would be sick. They’re just putting new levels as well. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, well then follow. I don’t know, DM me, Twitter me, drop me your friend code and I’ll destroy you in “Mario Kart” and really humble you. Awesome. Sounds good. Sounds good. Thank you so much for being on Joe.

Jamie, how’d that go? I thought it was great. I thought it was interesting when she was saying like, oh yeah, I was listening to your podcast. And then I started answering the questions. Yeah. Do you think anybody at home does that? Do you think anybody out there just like listens and they start answering the questions, ’cause that’d be pretty funny if they did. I don’t know. Thank you for your input. You given me nothing. No, but she she was the delight, you guys got along super well. And she was a great sport during the whole British American jokes thing. Yeah. Well she like started it. She threw it back. Yeah. She threw it back, but she like, well, not in that way. She started it. I feel like she was the one that started ragging on British people. I was just coming along for the ride, but no, she was great. Kind of fun. Kind of fun, great guest. She was talking a lot too.
