Okay, I'm going to pass that on to her. Speaking about this game in really broad terms, you know, there are thousands and thousands of games out there. Some of them stick and some of them don't. What do you think is the fundamental DNA of this game that you made that has made it stick and resonate with people?

Something that you came up with that ended up being kind of iconic and has stuck around is just the disease system that you were in. I mean, that's become one of the earliest means, was thanks to what you invented.

Before you go, I have a very incredibly American question for you. This is a game that, across the entire series, has sold something like 65 million copies. It's in the Video Game Hall of Fame. Has the Oregon Trail made you an incredibly rich American man?

Philip Bouchard, an American hero. Have we gotten too niche on this show? No, we haven't, right? Yeah. Philip Beauchard. I love him. And so, Rosabelle wasn't completely insane. There were a couple of barrels in the game. But also, like, not a lot of barrels. I think she was confused and she was maybe thinking of wagons. Yeah. Or Donkey Kong, maybe? Yeah, she was.

She was playing Donkey Kong the whole time. I'll egg her again on the head. Okay, we're coming towards the end of this. Thanks for sharing this night with us. It's really special. We'll be outside afterwards. Come and say hello. We have the final T-shirts that we made. There's like heavy metal branded T-shirts. It's their last batch, so this is the only place to get them if you want them.

We'll be out near the merch stand afterwards. On the cards that you kindly wrote in, we got you to pitch some ideas, and Rob is going to take us through a few of those. And if they're good, we might sort of get you to yell out sort of expanded thoughts on these ideas. We'll see. Giant pumpkin competitions. Oh. I'm intrigued. That feels generically American, not specific to Oregon, right?

U.S. college admissions. Yeah, that's fucking crazy here. That's worthy of a new topic. I agree on that. Skinwalker ranch. Oh Yes, I don't know what that is.

My other memory from going to Universal with the guy that owns Skinwalker Ranch is the background on my phone was Mitch McConnell having a stroke. And I remember when I put my phone down to be scanned in the line for Universal, the light came on bright, and the person scanning just looked down at my phone and saw Mitch O'Connell. You know that moment? He spaced out for three minutes.
