Scott Johnson

and the art of storytelling and um and it just if it was it's great everybody should listen to it it's it's really really great yeah i think you should too so as far as like things that got cut um there's there were immediately in the youtube comments people who

I have followed my stuff for saying things like, Scott, how did you not say Khadgar the shit wizard when I brought up Khadgar and kind of paused awkwardly because I looked like I was maybe going to call him a shit wizard because we've been doing that for years on here. And there is a version of some footage somewhere that is cutting room floor for this where I did refer to him as the shit wizard.

And I can't remember exactly what the content was or why. It wasn't part of when I was talking about him in that context that did make it. But there was some other Khadgar comment that got yanked. Um, there are a few other things. Like he said something, everybody wants to know when he said, um, we're not prepared for something to do with the sword being extracted from Azeroth.

And I said something in the aftermath of that, that got cut. Um, And so I don't actually know the answer to this. I just know that my, the word, you might call it a proper name, a proper noun that I said got cut. I'm not saying that means it's anything or doesn't mean anything, but they left in the comment about you and are prepared. And if they're willing to do that.

Okay. No getting around it. It was so much fun, though. And it really only represented about two hours of time for the trip. The rest of it, I got to go tour a bunch of stuff. We got to have lunch with Chris and hang out for a bit. Their curated internal museum, the Blizzard Museum, very cool. Like, you would love this thing. It's like literally a museum. Yeah. And they curate it like one.

So things come in and out. They rotate in and out. Sometimes these things end up at cons or other events. And then they come back. They go under glass again. They have all their awards in a special place. Ancient concept art from like the late 90s, mid 90s, this kind of stuff. Really, really cool stuff. And I love that part of the tour. We also got to see the bikes.

Yeah. That thing's sitting in their main lobby now. And it is, I can't even, a photo doesn't know justice. You could hang 12 gorillas off this thing. It's so big. I don't know why I chose gorillas. Yeah. I like to compare things to how many gorillas could hang off of it. And in this case, a whole hell of a lot of gorillas could fit up there.
