Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily from The Lab. The Lab. The Lab. For Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026. I'm your host, Blessing Adeoye Jr. Joining me is the legend, Greg Miller. Hello, Blessing. How are you? I'm doing well, Greg. How are you doing?
Good. I know... That you are a ravenous Greg Way fan, and you listen to them just constantly. Constantly. Non-stop, you're on top of it. Of course. I know you've also been busy. That's why I sub. Yeah, exactly. I know you've been busy. I need you to know that you are the reason Poe got birthday gifts on Monday. No. Yep, I did it because of you, and Poe was not happy. He said, we're doing gifts now? We're doing gifts for birthdays? And I said, well, Blessing guilted me on Games Daily, so I had to. And he goes, well, thanks for nothing,
Blessing. Now I got
to give him
gifts. I remember nothing in the conversation. You're just a
giver. You're just a giver, Bless.
Which is funny because I feel like a lot of the time I'm not a giver when it comes to my friends' birthdays. We got to get on the same page. Yeah. You're
looking at me talking, and I'm looking
at you talking. Look at the goddamn camera. Look at each other. What are we doing? It's because we're in the lab, because Studio A, as I'm calling it now. We are getting ready for Top 100. We're getting ready for Top 100. That means breaking everything we
already
have. Sometimes you make some improvements to certain things, and then sometimes things break, and then you have to figure that out, and we'll figure that out over the day. Shout out to Kevin and Barrett and everybody on the tech side for figuring that out. But we are in the lab for that reason, and I think we just go back and forth.
Some of it here, some of it there. Some
of it here, some of it there. I feel like it's more natural when we're here, but it's more professional when we're here. But like, fuck being professional. It's kind of funny.
Yeah, I was in the same, you know, I was out there doing the Silent Hill review the other day, and Madeline Stanley was calling in. And then I had Raj, who doesn't host often,
you know, lead
host. And then Kurt, who had never been on our stuff before. And Kurt was like, I feel like I should turn around and look at the wall. And then Roger started doing it. And I was like, I'm in the middle of a show.
I'm not going to
correct them.
That's what I
did. I think year one of
us being in the studio, I tried to do it. Yeah, it doesn't work. Yeah. But you just need commitment from everybody. And also, it's just easier for us to look directly at the person that we're talking to. I know. That's how human beings
work. I like looking at the audience's eyes. Yeah.
What
are you wearing right now, Blaster Goblin?
Blaster Goblin, what are you wearing? Let us know. I
accidentally
closed all the chats. I don't know who's in chat. Oh, okay. I was like, I don't see Blaster Goblin's name. I talked to Blaster Goblin in today's Gregway, which you can find soon. I was like, I see Crush Lemons. I see other names. I know Loyal Freak. Greg.
Yeah. Are you ready to talk about some video game news? I'm very ready to talk about some video game news that I feel like we almost predicted yesterday. As if there's a layoff. Handbook.
