This is the irrational confidence of Dominique saying he'd also do stand-up comedy. Is that a thing that we can test that? That's a take. That's an episode of the show. And Wyatt agreed.
I've done all of it that I wanted to do. So there's, I look at this two ways. He's shockingly good in front of a live crowd. Like we did our live show last year. We're doing another one tomorrow night. By the time you're listening to this, we have already done our live podcast. Dominique will have gotten a Netflix special off the strength of that. But counterpoint, not funny. Tough for an open mic.
That's crazy. Not that funny. Okay.
You didn't like the end of it when he punched the guy?
Okay.
I think Bob Kraft has some regrets of things that have gone public, for sure. We broke Dominique. This topic broke Dominique.
Do you think she wanted him in the screen?
Okay, I brought you guys a story from the New York Times that came out on December 26th by Zachary Small called Video Games Can't Afford to Look This Good. The basics of the story were that throughout all of our lives, there was a boom in technology and video games became more and more hyper real. And it used to drive sales and interest that games looked good. way better and more realistic.
I'm sure you had this moment, like for me, I remember seeing the first map in N64 with Mario. I'm like, oh my God, this doesn't look like a Game Boy. Well, it turns out they're diminishing marginal returns as these maps have gotten more and more extreme. The graphics have gotten more and more hyper-real.
The games have become less fun to a lot of people and replaced by something that seems too much like real life. And for the first time, the video game industry is shrinking because of that.
Yes.
It's Roblox. It's Fortnite. It's Minecraft. And it's about community. It's about people want to have fun with their friends. And video games became something that can replace some social interactions. And the map and the hyper-realism and having to, like... play NBA 2K and have it be way more realistic than it was in 2012 actually wasn't driving stuff.
I thought this was really interesting for a number of reasons. One, it immediately connected to, I'm sure, what you felt. Dominique might have been where this was age-appropriate, but despite the fact that there was Xbox and PS3 or whatever whenever we were in college, there was an N64 in every dorm because people wanted to play games together.
And it wasn't about having the best graphics or the best stuff. It was about a sense of community and normalcy and the games were supposed to be fun. I found this to be a really interesting thing that They're now realizing that, that there's no reason to make Spider-Man look like Spider-Man.
I'm glad you brought this up because this is the exact connection point I thought about. There's a line in the article that basically talks about theories of why people have stopped wanting the hyperrealism and that it's an investment in graphics that creates a hollow experience. You don't feel anything. You don't connect with people on it.
That to me, you just brought up something that's happening in video, YouTube videos. People crave authenticity. They crave real conversations. It's like you look at the best podcast, you look at the best shows, the things that have lasted forever, whether it's a PTI or Dan Levitard show, the communities they create, pardon my take, whatever, all that stuff.
They create people who really want to engage with that stuff. I want to connect this back to something. The last time we were all together in Miami, Pablo went mini viral. Oh, yeah. Because he talked about, you know, the tape... That was another stolen take. It was.
Authenticity. That's what I'm trying to make your show better, being authentic. Mine and Pablo's take was that... Pablo articulated better, which is that football media, particularly, I mean, it's in all sports media, but football and basketball and football in particular, they want to watch the tape and they want to tell you about the EPA and they fetishize jargon.
And that pissed off a lot of ball knowers online and Twitter people are like, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. This is the most complex sport.
But here's the thing is you were right because a real expert can explain something and make it seem simple, not explain it and make it seem more complicated. And the reason that the word hollow experience I thought was really interesting was there was this incredible shift in football media from the caveman jacked up which was kind of dope. I'm not going to forget.
