00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.580
My name is David Hernandez, and you're listening to As the Pokeball Turns.
00:00:44.024 --> 00:00:49.755
Welcome to As the Pokeball Turns, where the stories are real and people still play this game.
00:00:50.064 --> 00:00:56.104
Our journey takes us next to New Hampshire, where we meet a trainer who is involved with the Pokemon Go podcast community.
00:00:56.409 --> 00:01:01.109
Pokemon Go has changed his life starting with his recovery from alcohol to catching Pokemon.
00:01:01.423 --> 00:01:12.573
My guest shares insight on what he appreciates about the different podcasts and how both Pokemon Go and the friends he has made with both the game and different podcast hosts has improved his overall quality of life.
00:01:12.875 --> 00:01:15.685
Here is his origin story into the world of Pokemon Go.
00:01:16.045 --> 00:01:18.015
This is CasadeCubone.
00:01:19.251 --> 00:01:22.242
Today, I'm joined by CasadeCubone.
00:01:22.572 --> 00:01:24.102
Casa, welcome to the show.
00:01:24.512 --> 00:01:25.102
Hello, sir.
00:01:25.102 --> 00:01:33.712
honored to have you have me on or be here, I guess, or, or you to ask, I guess, honor for, for me to be here, not to be to have me on, but yes, got you, man.
00:01:34.305 --> 00:01:35.935
Well, Casa, the honor's all mine.
00:01:36.075 --> 00:01:40.745
You know, let's take the people back to when we, I first asked you, we're talking GoFest, New York city.
00:01:41.064 --> 00:01:45.704
We're sitting down, I believe we're eating some pizza and I'm thinking about having you on as my final guest.
00:01:45.704 --> 00:01:47.114
And I'm like, I hope he says yes.
00:01:47.715 --> 00:01:49.605
thankfully you agreed to come on to the show.
00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:51.578
Oh, that was a very easy.
00:01:51.578 --> 00:01:54.310
Yes, that was easier than me picking up the tab.
00:01:54.310 --> 00:01:58.939
I think if I recall right that time too, because yeah, great time, great location.
00:01:59.805 --> 00:02:02.352
Awesome to spend time with everyone.
00:02:02.701 --> 00:02:21.444
You were one of the outliers that I didn't feel like I got to see a whole bunch the days leading up to that so yeah, to make it special for myself to be totally selfish, you know, to sit by you and spend that time with you and just Be close and chat and share your stories because, you're a superb interviewer in my opinion.
00:02:21.715 --> 00:02:30.685
So to hear you just speak, you know, as one of your friends sitting down close where we can high five and handshake if we want, the honor was all mine in that particular environment.
00:02:30.981 --> 00:02:32.070
But Absolutely.
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:32.730
Without a doubt.
00:02:32.741 --> 00:02:34.281
Anything I could do to help for sure.
00:02:34.290 --> 00:02:34.730
For sure.
00:02:35.605 --> 00:02:44.106
Well, Casa, the reason why I wanted you on the guest is that You know, I want to go back to why I made the podcast and it was to people it didn't matter the name It didn't matter the audience.
00:02:44.106 --> 00:02:47.736
A lot of people may not know CasadeCubone, A lot of people may not know who you are.
00:02:48.037 --> 00:02:48.717
And they shouldn't!.
00:02:49.766 --> 00:02:50.907
Man, not yet
00:02:51.097 --> 00:02:51.407
Yeah.
00:02:51.646 --> 00:02:53.247
Maybe, maybe, maybe
00:02:53.651 --> 00:02:55.971
but that's what my podcast is about, it's about to highlight people.
00:02:55.971 --> 00:03:01.911
It's about to highlight, people who You wouldn't think had a huge impact, but really do, even if it's just a small one.
00:03:02.223 --> 00:03:07.373
And for those who may not know, I met you through my first guest because you were in her server.
00:03:07.676 --> 00:03:10.477
And you introduced me to a lot of the other guys that got to me.
00:03:10.477 --> 00:03:17.356
You introduced me to roundtable Chatot, you introduced me to the Pokemon Professor Network with Lured Up and everybody in the way spotters and all that.
00:03:17.356 --> 00:03:18.676
So if it wasn't for you.
00:03:18.741 --> 00:03:22.686
I don't think I would have had the connections and had met the people that I have.
00:03:23.096 --> 00:03:39.436
So from the bottom of my heart, from As the Pokeball Turns, thank you for being an influence in that way because if it wasn't for you being in that server, telling me about the guests in Seattle you were spending time who were podcasters, we probably may have not been able to met each other and get to know each other and break bed with each other like we have.
00:03:40.036 --> 00:03:40.765
I be honest.
00:03:40.765 --> 00:03:41.286
A hundred percent.
00:03:41.306 --> 00:03:44.609
I've got goosebumps because that was cool like dude, that you.
00:03:44.609 --> 00:03:48.258
And you're being is so beneficial to me to be around.
00:03:48.258 --> 00:03:53.186
So, like, to hear that those connections, I guess, if you somebody took the time to pick it apart would have been there.
00:03:53.498 --> 00:03:54.882
But you have the talents.
00:03:54.882 --> 00:03:56.262
it is you going forward.
00:03:56.262 --> 00:03:56.921
It's your drive.
00:03:56.921 --> 00:04:00.241
You would've found it somehow to make it happen without a doubt.
00:04:00.301 --> 00:04:06.195
You know, getting to know you, you have that itch you have that skillset where it makes sense for you to do what you're doing.
00:04:06.498 --> 00:04:25.019
I can feel your elation for the stories to be shared with everyone else in the community to hear how happy it makes you, your voice and the tone of your voice, even like on our Monday zoom calls, like when you start talking about the geeky stuff, it's great to be able to see your face in a smile, but like, that tone with everybody there is so much different.
00:04:25.329 --> 00:04:33.841
Where it's just kind of putting your hair down, talking about the silly stuff that only us geeks really like to know you know, this is our own brand of nerd and everybody's got it.
00:04:34.216 --> 00:04:40.314
To put that info out of like, hey, you know, I have friends that podcast like it can come off clicky and cliche, I guess.
00:04:40.730 --> 00:04:45.500
even when I got back in New Hampshire, it's kind of like I said, the same type of thing in the discord here.
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:52.862
It's like, I'm just kind of let you know, some cool people that have the same interest as us cause obviously if you're in the discord, like we'd like Pokemon and we have fun with it.
00:04:52.882 --> 00:04:53.552
We enjoy it.
00:04:53.583 --> 00:05:07.315
We love the genre from the video games and whatever and that's where it's great with your platform to hear all those stories on the different ways that people enjoy the game and how they play and perform with it day in day out throughout their week and throughout their years.
00:05:07.622 --> 00:05:08.533
It's super cool.
00:05:09.125 --> 00:05:15.317
And I think that's what I appreciate about you most is that you're so humble because it's easy to get a big head thinking like, Hey, I know these people, right?
00:05:15.697 --> 00:05:22.050
And I know we're podcasters, you know, we're not YouTubers or not like people with millions and millions of fans, but we each have our own audiences.
00:05:22.410 --> 00:05:30.326
And no matter which podcast you go to, you go to mine, you go to Round Table Chatot,, you go to Lured Up, they all say that you're just such a positive person to be around.
00:05:30.336 --> 00:05:31.567
They all say the same thing.
00:05:31.824 --> 00:05:34.454
And that's probably maybe my first question when it comes to this interview.
00:05:34.725 --> 00:05:37.675
What is it about the podcast format that makes you want to be around all of us?
00:05:38.303 --> 00:05:45.494
I think it's with the media type, it allows you to form an actual connection like my daughter's doing it right now.
00:05:45.494 --> 00:05:46.754
I'm sure she's on YouTube.
00:05:46.754 --> 00:05:52.009
Just consume and loads and loads and minutes and minutes that become hours and hours of just stuff.
00:05:52.357 --> 00:06:02.257
And of course, she likes a little girl that's in Australia that plays with these real life dolls that look like real babies, but essentially in that video, all you're doing is visualizing and viewing.
00:06:02.569 --> 00:06:06.877
And sure it's make believe and that's in essence what kind of some of the podcasts are too.
00:06:07.168 --> 00:06:14.670
But with the Pokemon Go ones, it's, hey, what shiny did you catch this week and what excites you and what excites me can be so vastly different.
00:06:14.985 --> 00:06:19.206
Where I can get excited that I've got my 36th Squirtle without a community day.
00:06:19.502 --> 00:06:25.336
And like you can get the shiny Bergmite that it looks like it wet itself and you're more excited for one than the other.
00:06:25.649 --> 00:06:34.271
And for myself, and not having many physical real life friends anymore just because of location and proximity and real life happening and you know, different age levels.
00:06:34.598 --> 00:06:38.841
To be able to have these types of communities are of tremendous value for myself.
00:06:39.156 --> 00:06:44.276
So to be able to share it with anybody else that wants to give it a shot to say, Hey, these guys are really cool.
00:06:44.307 --> 00:06:45.036
And maybe I'm wrong.
00:06:45.310 --> 00:06:46.880
Maybe everyone's not your cup of tea.
00:06:46.880 --> 00:06:56.060
And I totally get that but like the round table guys, those dudes, if you can't have a good time with those guys when they're around there's something wrong with your day.
00:06:56.420 --> 00:07:05.689
if those two guys aren't saying something that's so bizarre off the wall, and the first 15 little inside puns might miss, They're going to turn you around.
00:07:05.988 --> 00:07:11.896
And if not, like myself, maybe you need medications to help you to put you in that mind space where, it can help you get there.
00:07:12.432 --> 00:07:29.711
And that's part of behind my curtains too, is through the beginning of Pokemon Go, it's where I am now, like I went from being an alcoholic, and moving across the country and becoming a husband and a father and, all of those types of things, you know, becoming sober myself, totally acknowledging my mental health struggles.
00:07:30.012 --> 00:07:34.312
The mainstay through it all is this silly game that people do still play.
00:07:34.603 --> 00:07:47.230
As silly as it is, until they take the server offline, I'll play every day because now in my recovery, this is what I can go to when I feel like I want to have a drink or I'm having a really crappy day or you just are in your car and you want to pound the steering wheel.
00:07:47.552 --> 00:07:48.588
Instead, I'm going to fire up the app.
00:07:49.110 --> 00:07:50.547
And it puts me in a better head space
00:07:51.139 --> 00:07:54.589
from your experience, you talked about, you know, your history with mental health.
00:07:54.589 --> 00:07:56.220
You talked about, you know, history with alcohol.
00:07:56.387 --> 00:07:56.567
Yeah!
00:07:56.567 --> 00:08:01.110
How has Pokemon Go and the podcasting community changed you from when you first started to now?
00:08:01.709 --> 00:08:03.970
I think it's filled that void.
00:08:04.307 --> 00:08:13.019
I was doing both at the same time for a while there but definitely it's When I was drinking to a bad rate, I could do both at the same time.
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.459
I was that high functioning, naughty, naughty guy.
00:08:15.757 --> 00:08:16.716
And it's genetic for me.
00:08:16.716 --> 00:08:17.757
My dad's an alcoholic.
00:08:18.093 --> 00:08:24.134
Nobody ever really said much to do with it back at, you know, being an 80s baby, that's just kind of something we saw and it was whatever.
00:08:24.463 --> 00:08:27.449
So you know, I was always that athlete through high school, grown up.
00:08:27.610 --> 00:08:28.930
So I never touched it in high school.
00:08:28.930 --> 00:08:38.451
So like once I started at 22, all those genetic tracers I'm sure took great hold and it went from fun, fun to not knowing the limit to I don't want to miss out.
00:08:38.491 --> 00:08:39.951
So just keep going crazy.
00:08:40.251 --> 00:08:42.501
You know, turn due to addiction real fast.
00:08:42.815 --> 00:08:52.544
It wasn't anything I necessarily had a super negative effect on like when it comes to say, law and legality and stuff like that, but I know it totally 100 percent effective relationships.
00:08:52.904 --> 00:09:03.162
And I think that's now we're now finding my nerd group and being sober to finally acknowledge, like, hey, these are great people when I was a drunk, that would have totally gotten missed.
00:09:04.042 --> 00:09:08.432
Like, I know I have friends that I enjoyed spending time with, but I'm also on 1 side.
00:09:09.027 --> 00:09:21.712
They put up with some nonsense from this knucklehead 100 percent every Wednesday or Thursday or Friday, Saturday, Sunday for years, And, I'm grateful for it, but my fun couple of years turned into like a decade.
00:09:22.010 --> 00:09:24.469
And that's not good and of course looking back on it.
00:09:24.469 --> 00:09:37.043
it's all those kind of remorse and regret to the point like if I would have had this game when I was in college, I probably would have been much more focused and productive because I would have had something to go to instead of going.
00:09:37.087 --> 00:09:44.717
To the bar at a two o'clock after class and just in there and kind of drawing my woes because I hadn't taken care of any of my mental health stuff.
00:09:45.029 --> 00:09:52.067
and, you know, my parents have always been really supportive and my mom's always been really encouraging, but there's weddings where I was the life of the party.
00:09:52.366 --> 00:09:53.907
And then I went home, and I wasn't.
00:09:53.907 --> 00:09:57.389
Fun to deal with, came to the point where my wife was just like, figure it out.
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:58.820
So I figured it out.
00:09:59.116 --> 00:10:03.128
went straight stone cold, Went and got the Antabuse, was working at a pharmacy.
00:10:03.128 --> 00:10:07.933
So I knew I was gonna have to do something to really logistically stop myself from saying.
00:10:07.962 --> 00:10:10.471
Hey, well, I can do one today and then three tomorrow.
00:10:10.832 --> 00:10:19.866
being comfortable around your friends without having to have that vice is cool for me to know I've developed to this point to know that the game is my addiction now.
00:10:20.461 --> 00:10:29.754
I'll declare it all the time it was one of the first things when I was going through my eval with my psychiatrist, I was forthcoming a hundred percent, hey, I, I don't have a problem with, it.
00:10:30.052 --> 00:10:34.192
I don't feel like it's causing in chaos or struggles.
00:10:34.514 --> 00:10:39.000
I'm dependent a hundred percent and I think a lot of us can say like healthfully we are as well.
00:10:39.307 --> 00:10:46.832
But it doesn't have to be the super hard of like, I don't have to go out by myself, away from my family, my daughter, my wife, and play.
00:10:47.135 --> 00:10:49.495
Do I feel a little bit like I'm missing out a tiny bit?
00:10:49.803 --> 00:10:54.408
Sure but In missing the experience to hang out with my friends at GoFest is my big build up.
00:10:54.798 --> 00:11:01.042
to go and see somebody just for the sake of seeing them and then having the excuse of we came to play.
00:11:01.344 --> 00:11:15.957
It's because of the community to get people that are all doing the same thing for you to talk about nonsense or you know, how you fast catch or some little trick that somebody doesn't know and that's their big like eureka and aha moment of this is how I can play this game better.
00:11:16.254 --> 00:11:17.230
That's the cool part
00:11:17.788 --> 00:11:19.938
what was it about Pokémon Go that wants you to play it?
00:11:19.938 --> 00:11:22.499
Was it just the community aspect, or was it something else?
00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:23.849
I was a big nerd.
00:11:24.144 --> 00:11:24.934
I graduated in 98.
00:11:25.552 --> 00:11:41.067
When blue and red came out, when that first American craze came with like the game boys, I had it in the bleachers, like between my matches, like under my parents feet, like I was that little kid playing the game legit when I should be probably paying attention or supporting teammates or whatever.
00:11:41.364 --> 00:11:47.832
But as a freshman, like I took it to every meet, played it on the bus home, played it on the bus, To and from school, like on lunch, all that stuff.
00:11:48.147 --> 00:11:52.618
And at that point I was the tiny little kid, freshman year in high school and I wrestled a hundred at the time.
00:11:52.914 --> 00:11:53.773
Like I was good.
00:11:53.773 --> 00:11:55.452
Like I set the freshman record, all that stuff.
00:11:55.472 --> 00:11:55.962
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:56.143 --> 00:11:57.153
Like old school stuff.
00:11:57.461 --> 00:12:08.708
But still one of the things I remember the most is beating the Elite Four, and I can tell you exactly what town I was in, In between my Constellation semi finals and the finals, and I beat the Elite Four for the first time.
00:12:09.006 --> 00:12:11.760
Like running through with whatever crazy squad, you know.
00:12:11.801 --> 00:12:17.321
And it was like, I didn't want to put that down before I had to go do this, get third place, get a silly medal, and then, you know, go on.
00:12:17.618 --> 00:12:22.984
but yeah, it was just always that, the collection aspect, I think, is what got me and has kept me with Pokémon.
00:12:23.282 --> 00:12:28.214
I collected Pokemon cards when that 1st run came out, So with Pokemon it was always, okay, what's their typing.
00:12:28.508 --> 00:12:34.434
That 151 I'm sure, you could do it, you could probably write it out hand by hand, order you wanted to, I'm
00:12:34.654 --> 00:12:35.004
don't know.
00:12:35.004 --> 00:12:35.105
I
00:12:35.445 --> 00:12:40.315
I bet you could get, I don't know if I could do it in order, but you could get there.
00:12:40.760 --> 00:12:44.125
But it was having that kind of informative aspect to it as well.
00:12:44.134 --> 00:12:47.235
It wasn't that you were just collecting, but like there was a purpose to it.
00:12:47.548 --> 00:12:50.125
So then when Go came out, it was like, where do we go from here?
00:12:50.424 --> 00:12:51.914
And, you know, what is this?
00:12:52.355 --> 00:12:56.054
I had stepped away and was totally detached from all of it for a long time.
00:12:56.054 --> 00:12:58.788
And I had a buddy that I met when I moved out east.
00:12:59.235 --> 00:13:03.105
he had played the VCG or VGC competitively.
00:13:03.414 --> 00:13:07.325
we just randomly happened to be co workers and like, Oh yeah, I know Pokemon.
00:13:07.325 --> 00:13:07.823
I like it.
00:13:07.825 --> 00:13:08.345
I know this.
00:13:08.345 --> 00:13:12.164
And then with his knowledge, it was like, uh, I don't know what this guy does.
00:13:12.345 --> 00:13:13.235
Like this guy's sweet.
00:13:13.541 --> 00:13:17.018
And I remember getting a text from him, Hey, it's on the app store.
00:13:17.394 --> 00:13:19.585
I remember texting him back, like, what are you talking about?
00:13:19.909 --> 00:13:21.700
It's like Pokemon Go, it's on the App Store.
00:13:21.995 --> 00:13:24.946
And like, I was so far removed, I didn't even know it was like a thing.
00:13:25.255 --> 00:13:33.909
So I remember watching the trailer to like the app, with like, you know, the in city stuff, and I think it was Mewtwo and Charizard in there, and getting excited about it.
00:13:34.205 --> 00:13:42.304
I downloaded it, caught my first squirtle, took a picture of it in the squirtles, like on my wife's belly while she's got my daughter in her hands and it was like, all right, this is cool.
00:13:42.604 --> 00:13:44.511
And from that jump, I was hooked.
00:13:44.812 --> 00:13:49.013
In the, the beginning, my wife was playing with me after I kind of coached her into a little bit.
00:13:49.317 --> 00:13:51.616
I would go for walks and do all that stuff.
00:13:51.616 --> 00:13:53.986
And like, we were out for dinner, like, I'd play, of course.
00:13:54.299 --> 00:14:04.354
One of my favorite stories is that my wife caught a dragonite while she was at home on maternity leave still, and was like, Hey, I caught this orange thing.
00:14:04.793 --> 00:14:06.033
I hadn't seen it before.
00:14:06.033 --> 00:14:06.943
Do you have it?
00:14:07.256 --> 00:14:10.447
And it was like one of the last ones I didn't have from that Gen 1 Dex.
00:14:11.407 --> 00:14:11.846
I don't have it.
00:14:12.267 --> 00:14:13.636
She's like, oh, I don't know what it is.
00:14:13.647 --> 00:14:14.956
You'll have to see when you come home.
00:14:14.956 --> 00:14:18.476
And I'm like, there's no way caught that sitting on the couch.
00:14:18.789 --> 00:14:22.840
She just happened to be in between diaper changes or breastfeeding or something.
00:14:22.850 --> 00:14:24.750
She said she turned her phone on and it was there.
00:14:25.057 --> 00:14:28.317
Still, it's one of those ones where it's like, for me, that's what it's all about.
00:14:28.616 --> 00:14:30.384
Is that hey, what did you do today?
00:14:30.697 --> 00:14:33.596
Oh, well, I caught this and here's a story connected to it.
00:14:33.996 --> 00:14:40.134
Like, that's what I want to hear because, you know, I'm sure if I look up your stats, you've got 300, 000 catches or something bonkers.
00:14:40.134 --> 00:14:40.953
Something like that, yeah.
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:54.029
You could probably tell me good 20 catches, but when you think that's 20 out of 300, 000, because we're nutty hardos, or we're at some point, or, you know, however, whatever label you want to put that very dedicated, I guess, is probably a good way to put it.
00:14:54.370 --> 00:14:59.024
Those 20 stories, though, for somebody else that has numbers like yours are what it's all about.
00:14:59.326 --> 00:15:01.686
It is about that experience thing.
00:15:01.686 --> 00:15:09.071
that's the part that's always cool for me like to have somebody that you randomly run into talk to you about how they were on a work trip to France.
00:15:09.149 --> 00:15:13.225
You know, and they caught extra, Klefki and brought them back and everybody excited.
00:15:13.528 --> 00:15:15.048
That what's warms my heart.
00:15:15.653 --> 00:15:18.232
now Kasa, obviously your known as CasaDeCubone.
00:15:18.253 --> 00:15:20.273
I'm guessing your pokemon's Cubone.
00:15:20.293 --> 00:15:21.482
Going on a limb here.
00:15:21.787 --> 00:15:22.366
it is.
00:15:22.427 --> 00:15:22.667
Yeah.
00:15:22.706 --> 00:15:23.006
Yeah.
00:15:23.309 --> 00:15:26.777
I used to just be my 1st initial middle initial and then my last name.
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.900
And then it's MD, so then I think Ken, the 1st time we were on discord.
00:15:31.951 --> 00:15:33.770
He asked if like I was a doctor or something.
00:15:34.171 --> 00:15:35.471
I'm like no, I'm not a doctor.
00:15:35.471 --> 00:15:38.230
That'd be great I wish I the wall.
00:15:38.571 --> 00:15:39.811
wish I had it.
00:15:39.811 --> 00:15:45.360
Yeah, I wish I had that moniker at least that certification or wallet of a medical professional,
00:15:45.405 --> 00:15:46.135
You can be like Dr.
00:15:46.135 --> 00:15:46.895
Pepper but you're Dr.
00:15:46.895 --> 00:15:47.346
Q Bone.
00:15:47.365 --> 00:15:47.826
I mean, kind of
00:15:47.841 --> 00:15:52.639
true true I don't think I've ever said this So this is exclusive.
00:15:52.936 --> 00:16:01.743
I've said it to other people, like I think Adam and stuff though, but in the discord, I was trying to be witty and find a way to put some phallic play onto something.
00:16:02.062 --> 00:16:07.232
So when I changed my gamer name to CasadeCubone, it had an R at the end of At
00:16:07.557 --> 00:16:08.307
Oh!
00:16:08.602 --> 00:16:13.513
thought, and I was just going to be like, Okay, because they used to read the Patreon members.
00:16:13.692 --> 00:16:16.328
And the way it came up is there were two Mikes.
00:16:16.629 --> 00:16:21.326
So, Ken and Adam had gone to like, MD Raver instead of Mike whatever.
00:16:21.629 --> 00:16:24.145
So it's like, I'm going to make him say Boner every week.
00:16:24.145 --> 00:16:30.956
Just to be that guy that does that, you know, and it fit in that wheelhouse with Ken to say giggity and whatever.
00:16:31.265 --> 00:16:41.166
And that was going to be my weekly shine and ha ha But then I thought about it, I was like, I'm then gonna have to maybe introduce myself to somebody in real life through a game.
00:16:41.556 --> 00:16:46.285
I wisely talk myself out of that one pretty quick, but yeah, Cubone always been a favorite for sure.
00:16:46.446 --> 00:16:49.265
And I think that's the first one that I kind of thought, how can I make this?
00:16:49.543 --> 00:16:53.844
immature and funny all at the same time, at least for certain populations or communities.
00:16:54.298 --> 00:16:59.923
so, every time anybody says it, I'm just kind of in my head going, I'm glad I didn't add that R.
00:17:00.188 --> 00:17:05.284
Because that would be like, that can get a little, uh, sensitive from time to time.
00:17:05.284 --> 00:17:05.574
So
00:17:06.368 --> 00:17:07.479
is Costa the Cube owner.
00:17:08.199 --> 00:17:11.296
Yeah, it was the easy one to put that in there, to say funny.
00:17:11.296 --> 00:17:11.806
Ha ha.
00:17:12.108 --> 00:17:22.727
I just thought it'd be funny to be in a gym and you see the name up there and call it the tagging kinda laugh and walk on, you know, everybody at the beginning there were so many of those innuendo names out there.
00:17:23.471 --> 00:17:30.261
And then I think Niantic kind of cleaned it up a little bit and rightfully so, just for the, 12-year-old boys can't sit back and laugh and snicker.
00:17:30.565 --> 00:17:38.768
Since becoming into this, tertiary part of the podcast community and friends with everyone, I'm glad I didn't because the RTC guys.
00:17:39.126 --> 00:17:43.330
I wouldn't have to have them say that or have to make up something different to say either.
00:17:43.330 --> 00:17:44.330
So, I'm,
00:17:44.756 --> 00:17:46.996
would make You would make them have to have the explicit tag.
00:17:47.550 --> 00:17:47.891
right?
00:17:48.681 --> 00:17:50.760
Which, yeah, no, no, I'm not worth it.
00:17:51.141 --> 00:17:51.641
For sure, guys.
00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:52.921
do you.
00:17:53.230 --> 00:17:59.615
I'll just stay in the shadows over here like I prefer anyway, but that was the initial thought but yeah Cubone's been the fun.
00:17:59.665 --> 00:18:15.022
The whole weird, eerie, dark backstory about the mom's skull and all, you know, all that fun stuff before I got into the much darker ones like Drifloom and all those ones like Like it didn't get that weird in the first gen.
00:18:15.318 --> 00:18:20.165
I think Ghastly Gengar have some Subtle undertones, but it's not like they eat children or anything.
00:18:20.479 --> 00:18:22.528
so it was one of the ones that always intrigued me.
00:18:22.826 --> 00:18:28.115
one of my first jobs was at the Toys R Us and I was the gym leader that did the Pokemon Card game.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.580
00:00:44.024 --> 00:00:49.755
00:00:50.064 --> 00:00:56.104
00:00:56.409 --> 00:01:01.109
00:01:01.423 --> 00:01:12.573
00:01:12.875 --> 00:01:15.685
00:01:16.045 --> 00:01:18.015
00:01:19.251 --> 00:01:22.242
00:01:22.572 --> 00:01:24.102
00:01:24.512 --> 00:01:25.102
00:01:25.102 --> 00:01:33.712
00:01:34.305 --> 00:01:35.935
00:01:36.075 --> 00:01:40.745
00:01:41.064 --> 00:01:45.704
00:01:45.704 --> 00:01:47.114
00:01:47.715 --> 00:01:49.605
00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:51.578
00:01:51.578 --> 00:01:54.310
00:01:54.310 --> 00:01:58.939
00:01:59.805 --> 00:02:02.352
00:02:02.701 --> 00:02:21.444
00:02:21.715 --> 00:02:30.685
00:02:30.981 --> 00:02:32.070
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:32.730
00:02:32.741 --> 00:02:34.281
00:02:34.290 --> 00:02:34.730
00:02:35.605 --> 00:02:44.106
00:02:44.106 --> 00:02:47.736
00:02:48.037 --> 00:02:48.717
00:02:49.766 --> 00:02:50.907
00:02:51.097 --> 00:02:51.407
00:02:51.646 --> 00:02:53.247
00:02:53.651 --> 00:02:55.971
00:02:55.971 --> 00:03:01.911
00:03:02.223 --> 00:03:07.373
