What's up, everybody? Welcome to kind of funny games daily for Wednesday, January 7th, 2026. I'm one of your hosts, Greg Miller, alongside the rogue one at Gary Witta. Hello. Hello, Gary. How are you?
What are the predictions for Xbox in 2026?
I'm very well. Happy new year.
Happy new year to you too.
I feel like there is a cutoff on Happy New Year, but when it's like special friends and people that you like, if it's your first time seeing them. Yeah. Like if it was the first time seeing you in like July or something, then obviously. Yeah. Like as long as you're still in early January.
I think if you're in single digits, like you caught me off guard in the parking lot. In the parking lot when you said Happy New Year, I was like, yes, Happy New Year. I don't know. There's a blur of things going on. I feel I was in the car.
There is a cutoff. I think it's about the same time that the Christmas tree comes down. I mean, when do you take your tree down?
Last weekend.
yeah out the door yeah yeah it was right away yeah i if it were up to me i would take it down like new year's day that to me is a good cut off because like once christmas is over the tree just kind of says i think we usually let it go till that that weekend after new year's is that what we did this week yeah this past weekend was tearing everything apart yeah as fun as it is to put the tree up i always find it kind of equally sad taking it taking all the ornaments off.
Oh, I mean, it is infinitely worse taking the tree down than putting it up. Putting it up is the excitement of the season. We're doing it. This year, we bought a tree. I have never had a tree die faster. Oh, really? And then become the cartoon, like, you touch it, pines fall.
We got the biggest... Choked on them. We didn't intend to, but when we got our hands on it, oh, shit, this is actually the biggest tree we've ever... Clark Griswold star. No, it was like the star was like a quarter inch from the ceiling. We just barely made it. But no, it was a lovely tree and lots of nerdy ornaments. I've got the Xbox controller. The Xbox, Hallmark did an Xbox OG with the Duke controller. And you press it and it plays the halo. It's good. I like the nerdy ornaments.
Gary, do you know what else I like? What? See You in Hell. Yes. The new audio pilot that's up. Tell me all about it. What a... Greg way.
How convenient. What a nice coincidence. What a surprise. Gary shows up on content. He's got something to promote, you know? Mike, come on here and give your dad a hug. Come on here and give one of your dad's a hug over here, Mike.
What do you got here, buddy? He's getting ready for it. He's getting ready to charge his shoulders.
Yeah, yeah. Congratulations on everything. You smell good. What is that about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is that? Fucking Axe? What is that? Old Spice? Yeah, the classic. I like it.
I like it. See you in hell, Gary. Yeah. The pilot is out right now. See you in hell dot TV to go find out more.
I'll be quick because I know we've got an actual show to do and I don't want to do the thing I was doing. We never get. I am grateful for the opportunity to come in and plug this because it's just me. There's no marketing machine behind this. Yeah. This is a self-funded, self-generated project thing that I did. I'll be real quick. The last three years of my job in Hollywood have been absolute shite. Yeah. You think games are bad? Let me tell you, buddy. The Hollywood industry, the show business industry, film and television, television in particular, just an absolute fucking shit show right now. And it's been very depressing. No, I briefly, I briefly considered quitting the business because it was just, it's just so depressing out there.
