I don’t know that I’m in the mood anymore.

Haney 1:57
That’s fine. You know what? Listening? I understand. It’s summer. It’s hot. Coffee might be the last thing on your mind. But did you know that you can drink it cold? I had no idea. No. Don’t do that. What you can do is you can go to uncommon vt.com do that go to their shop page? Yes. Pick out some delicious coffees that you think would taste good cold. All of them, which is everything they create is delicious. Even the even the shirts tastes wonderful. Yummy, yummy. Yes. Pick yourself out some nice snacks, coffees, maybe a shirt, maybe something else if it tickles your your fancy. Put in your cart. Put in the words. Good, good. All one word into that little discount slash promo slash bow

Chris 3:02
Don’t have to grind them. You can just use the whole bean. And can you? I mean, it’s gonna be bad. Not ideal coffee.

Haney 3:10
Maybe grind it? Maybe don’t. I don’t care what you do. Don’t take that pot, stick it in the fridge for a little while and then just drink it directly from the cold pot when you come out. That’s how you make iced coffee. Right?

Chris 3:18
Don’t do that. I

Haney 3:19
drink hot coffee only. If I drink an iced coffee, someone else made it for me. And it’s also not a coffee. It’s like ice cream and a cop. Yeah. And it’s also typically from uncommon VT but just the store not online.

Chris 9:07
After that

Chris 9:51
town. And there’s a couple things happening. Yeah, talk to me. Well, there were flower patches under the snow. So now we got wasps. Yeah. which is ideal, I guess. Sure. Yeah. I try briefly I think to get back to the grind the graveyard and quickly learn that the water is impossible.

Haney 10:14
You cannot without the without the ice chunks that used to be in it.

Chris 10:17
Yeah. So that’s a no go. That’s okay because I roll into the smithy.

Haney 10:22
Yeah. So you roll up that smithy and Spring has sprung and the Bora gives you his best. Ah

Chris 10:33
All right, so I’m gonna talk to the nipple voice All right, I gotta check back in with the Goron temple or villager whatever. That is the capital.

Haney 10:43

Haney 11:11
All right to report your sword and cost 100 rupees and it’ll be ready at sunrise. You’ll have to let us hold on to your sword until then, you can hold whatever you want with those nipples. Keep in mind that after yeas reforged sword 100 times it will lose its edge and we’ll be back to its original sharpness. So what would you like your sword would say? Would you like your sword? Okay, well fuck me. I don’t have the money. Oh, really? Then I really can’t be helped drop by again sometime. Kabara forget about that coffee. What the fuck? This is a secret but I’ll let you in on it. If you can bring me some gold dust. I can afford you the strongest of swords. It’ll never lose its edge. It’s the strongest the strongest.

Chris 11:47
Alright, we got a new a new to do now. Gold Dust gold dust. Unfortunately, I didn’t have money at this point. So I couldn’t upgrade my sword. And also I didn’t get any coffee

They they’re, they’re better than Yelp. We tear out of there. So you discover a new area. A cave entrance in this snow village which is no longer snowy. Also ship village there’s one house and it’s just a smithy and they’re not there’s it’s not a village at all. Yeah, there’s no community here. No, that’s okay. Because you found a little cool girl on slide.

Chris 12:52
Yeah, I mean, cool is a strong way to put it. It’s basically a path with a bunch of ramps that is filled with monsters that try and eat you that leads back up to the Goron graveyard.

Haney 13:02
Yeah, so you can get back up there after all, just not the way you wanted to for some reason. Yeah, but you did manage to find a little sidetrack within the cave. Oh, holy. Oh, you found a hole.

pain can’t get enough. Why did why did they make a entrance? aurons cannot use I don’t know that. All of that seems entirely like a Oh,

Unknown Speaker 28:55
oh,

Haney 28:56
there’s a big boy.

Chris 28:58
The girl who sells the powder keg, the most famous product of the Gorons want a powder keg powder kegs explode with powerful blasts and are very dangerous until they’ve captured you to see if you can use them properly. I couldn’t get to use any of your own. Will you give it a try? So here’s

Haney 29:18
the test. Here’s the test.

Chris 29:20
You get a free bomb and go blow up this rock in time.

Haney 29:24
You don’t know where the rock is. But you do know that it’s the entrance to the grind race. So clearly this is here as a step to get you to the next storyline. Yeah,

Chris 29:33
I kind of stumbled into the order in the correct way.

Haney 29:35
Which is nice. That’s, that’s always good.

Chris 29:38
It’s called a pro game remove.

Haney 29:39
Yeah, also this Titan Goron that you’re talking about? Yeah, his name is Mehdi. Goron. Don’t give that as a medium. No,

Chris 29:46
he’s Titan. Goron now,

Haney 29:48
there’s bigger Gorons and many Goron you’re gonna learn actually, you’ve already seen the bigger Gore on the Goron is the one who was breathing that Jon Snow had temple. Yeah, yeah. Um, so You got your first powder keg? We’re not glossing over this.

Chris 30:04
Oh, okay.

Haney 30:06
Oh, can you interesting?

Chris 30:08
Do you even lift? Oh my fucking God. Well this is gonna be an issue.

Haney 30:13
Is there a problem? Chris, can you describe for the listeners what the problem seems to be? This is an audio only medium I’ll have you know, just a minute on what is gonna fly? What is the problem here?

Chris 30:25
I already fucked it up I know it’s going to explode. So I come into this tunnel. Uh huh. There’s these ramps that you have to go up and go down to get in and out. Yeah, and you can’t go up the ramps if you’re holding the powderkeg Yeah, so you have to throw the powderkeg up the ramps and then follow it back up yourself. Alright, we’re doing okay. Except now you can’t be fast. Except I can’t be fast or

Haney 30:51
where to go. They’re just glitch out of existence.

Chris 30:55
You can’t walk up the ramps out of the shop with the powderkeg fucking Don’t be a moron. You have to take this very explosive bomb that’s lit. Lit. And you have to throw it up the ramp. Yeah. And then roll yourself back up over it. And you pick it up, and you throw it up over the next.

Haney 31:13
I think Chris almost immediately just walked away from the

Chris 31:18
I realized pretty quickly that I was not going to make it. Yeah, the first time. So I feel like that was a strategic retreat. I’m not sure I would count that as an attempt.

Haney 31:27
Okay. Still counting it, but I would agree with you. It was a strategic retreat. But it’s still lost and Ellis still now. Take the Eldred but then you’re like, Okay, well, now I understand this. No problem. Yeah. Second time, aced it, pick it up, throw it, get it out of the out of the shop shop and throw it out the open door, and it disappears, is gone.

Chris 31:53
I don’t feel like that it didn’t explode. So I’m not sure I would count that as a loss if you still lost the bomb. And when you’re

Haney 31:59
out of existence, it definitely glitched out of existence. But when you went back, he was like, Oh, you fucking didn’t make it happen, huh? Let’s try again. This time, third time,

Chris 32:09
or if you’re counting potentially first time. Sure.

Haney 32:13
Third time, you may get all the way out to the garden village before you realize you have no idea where you’re where you’re going from here. You’re like, well, I saw a big boulder and it was over here somewhere. And here’s wandering around Goron village, which was also not where you saw the big boulder earlier. I knew exactly what you’re talking about. Because I’m what’s the bowl that you saw. Yeah, but it was in a different area of town completely. Not even in town a different area of the map completely. Yeah.

So you just wander around, and eventually you’re just like fog in you just left the keg to explode.

Chris 32:42
So if these goblins look out their window they’re just seeing Darmody running around with this fucking

Haney 32:47
I’ll say your dirty money. Why do you have to have a license? Come on? No, there’s a lot of plot holes about celebrity status. Where Yeah, you get to jump the line. That you’d love to video games?

Chris 32:59
I do. It doesn’t excuse them for making an entrance that the Goron you are can’t use

Haney 33:06
the Goron you are hates the garland. You’re meant to be?

Chris 33:09
Um, the garden. We deserve not the Goron we need.

Haney 33:14
If it makes you feel better. I am keeping track of your failures.

Chris 33:17
Oh, yeah, that does. I feel like a failure is exploding.

Haney 33:22
No. You fail this test twice. And he told you as such. What do you want from me?

Chris 33:27
I didn’t read that. All right. Where’s this frickin? I think I saw big boulder this way.

Haney 33:34
All right. Only 19 But my mind just bowled.

Chris 33:38
I really don’t love that. I can’t drop this. Why would you so I can throw it ahead of me.

Haney 33:44
No, you gotta be fast, Chris. All right. Can’t

Chris 33:46
go up here. Oh, I can go up here. Ah,

Haney 33:49
now we’re Cooking. Cooking with powderkeg s? Where are you? Good.

Chris 33:53
powderkeg is what I call is excellent. Where is that boulder. Anyway, so this is Gore on town. Yeah. On your left, you can see rocks house. On your right, you can see flooding rock,

Haney 34:09
and powderkeg that’s about to explode. Fourth, or second, or second. Fourth time you manage to do remember that it’s not actually in the village proper, but it’s in the path that leads to the to the village. So you run out onto the path that leads to the village, the powderkeg. You can also call it the path that leads out of the village. Yeah, you could. You could, Chris good. And you’re like, Ah, excellent. I see a boulder all the way up there. Man that’s far away. And I fucked around for quite a while. Make it about halfway on the path towards that boulder. And it blows

Chris 34:45
nananana All right. Well, I feel like they have enough time to ace this.

Haney 34:51
Yeah, yeah, I think you’re you’re getting it. You’re already you’re already further than I thought you were gonna get. Yeah, yeah. Fourth time’s the charm though. with your with your clock here. That’s what they say. You’re already forgot how to

Chris 35:08
Kenny, you. You’re gonna eat your words in about 20 minutes.

Haney 35:14
I was wrong for a time was not the time friends.

Chris 35:17
Yeah, it was. You don’t know yet cute

Haney 35:24
precision gaming is not your forte is it

Chris 35:26
one of these times? No, you and me are going to race through this fucking game and we’ll see who the real Zelda champion is. Yeah,

Haney 35:34
I think we should pick up. I say looking at my switch, which I literally had to turn off when you came in the room because I’m so far ahead of you.

Chris 35:43
You’re also following a guide? How are you know, I don’t need a guide. I thought you were learning to speedrun strats.

Haney 35:48
I mean, I’m not like reading other people’s strats I’m just reading this like a Brady game strategy guide,

Chris 35:54
where the fuck is this racetrack?

Haney 35:57
I feel like somehow it’s looking kind of lows. Somehow, even though you knew where to go, this time you did worse.

Chris 36:05
I got farther.

Haney 36:07
You didn’t get further right? Ball. So fifth try

Chris 36:12
or third or third, which they say is the charm.

Haney 36:16
They might you get back to the powder keg. Sure, round five, or three, depending on if you’re me or Chris. And you get it out of the village. Awesome. You get it all the way across the path cool. And then you just fucking run right by the path that leads up to the boulder that you need to blow up and out of the village and just basically like so far gone on the way back in you get attacked by a spider. And it costs you enough time that you can’t make it all the way up to the top of the powder keg. But you’re almost there. You make it like to two thirds of the way up there. So you go back here like right sixth time or Fourth time’s the charm and grab your six powder keg. Regardless, that is true.

Chris 36:57
I’m costing this shop bundle. Yeah.

Haney 37:02
I don’t know how much powder kegs are. I don’t think I don’t know that. We’ve bought one yet. They should

Chris 37:05
probably charge for the test. Yeah,

Haney 37:07
they’re 5050 I owe that. Yeah, six. Yeah. 300 rupees.

Chris 37:12
That’s a lot. Yeah. By EMD. Armani, you are a domani so though from the branding, they’ll probably make it

Haney 37:17
back. Yeah, that’s fine. Well, well, here we are. Yeah. Taking the scenic route.

Chris 37:25
This is my walking simulator. Goron times.

Haney 37:29
Yes. And where are you

Chris 37:31
going? The wrong way. Wait, no, this is the right way. All right. No, it’s not. Where am I?

Haney 37:38
I don’t know. You just left. This isn’t where I want to be.

Chris 37:41
Oh, god dammit. All right. Where did I go wrong?

Haney 37:47
Right there I think to your left. That’s where you went wrong. Why?

Unknown Speaker 37:49
Why?

Haney 37:50
I don’t know. Why did that

Chris 37:52
happen? Oh, no. Oh. Oh, my confidence is waning.

Haney 37:57
Oh, farts get fuck off. I can’t believe this has happened. Oh, oh, we’re so close. Oh, helped me finish. Chris helped me finish. Oh my god, you’re so fucking close.

Unknown Speaker 38:12
Oh, and now

Haney 38:17
you’ve made your way to the top where the boulder that you need to blow up is but you don’t have your powder keg with you but you’re just kind of kind of scoping things out. You find the village elders son. They’re fucking great. Awesome. He tells you that he’s super excited that springs here he’s ready to watch the grind races he wants to see anymore. He wants to see daarmee in it. He’s not gonna cry. He’s a big grown boy. He calls me daarmee which I love. Yeah, he said and I quote I will fucking kill you if you ever call me that again. You little shit and dread stuffing them in a powder keg? I don’t know if that has happened.

Chris 38:48
What do you say? Oh, you’re

Unknown Speaker 38:50
the baby. Yeah, you’re that shit?

Unknown Speaker 38:54
No, it’s nice and warm. Now I’m much much better. Even my daddy isn’t right beside me. I won’t be

Haney 39:00
selfish and cry Chris says the same thing about me.

Unknown Speaker 39:04
So now that spring has come to garner it’s it should be starting soon. But this rock is in the way so I can’t get in and see the race I want to see

Chris 39:23
if I could pick you up and throw you in the lake I

Haney 39:25
would do so. Do you not like children’s this? Not this one. Goes back grabs his sixth or fourth powder keg. And eighth is it I mean just flawless victory. Press spectacular 100% blows up that bomb blows up that boulder bullet blows that boulder blow me. And then it’s like hey, well, fucking This is awesome. I guess the kid is stoked. And he doesn’t Bethel fucking child while Yeah, down. He’s like, come watch me. Yeah, I’m

Unknown Speaker 39:58
gonna see you raised Yeah, yeah, okay

Chris 40:01
kid, you know,

Haney 40:02
like, all right. So you go in, you follow Him, and you kind of immediately get entered into a race. You talk to the kid and he’s like, I’m so excited to see you up. Aren’t you ready to go? And you’re like, Yeah, okay, cool. I mean, just all of a sudden the race starts

Chris 40:17
nailed it. You did? Thanks a lot. Oh, cool. I’ll be waiting for you to have to come see it. Good.

Haney 40:29
I need you to have more of a gore on wiggle in your

Chris 40:32
garden. Babies can’t roll because their heads are still undeveloped.

Haney 40:36
Ah, go on racetrack you’re in new spot. Yeah, I

Chris 40:38
am. Naked. What’s going on here? Jeremy, I’ve been waiting for you don’t call me daarmee we’re not friends. The

Unknown Speaker 40:47
everyone’s restless because they can’t wait to enter. You’re gonna enter into Yeah, yep.

Chris 40:51
Yeah, like the options are? Yep. Yeah, I guess you have to I want to show

Unknown Speaker 40:57
everyone how daarmee raised stop calling me daarmee if your magic power runs led charged up, but the game Jerry is on the course. Oh, this would have been nice in the goat fight, huh?

Chris 41:06
It would have been nice in the goat fight. Ah,

Haney 41:08
now this is pod racing. Describe the race for us.

Chris 41:12
Well, it’s basically how I’ve been moving around the game this whole time anyway. It’s a track that you roll your bulk around. As a Goron. There’s some ramps you go over, there’s some pots you can shatter to pick up more magic so you can spike out and especially other Gorons who are racing you as you could imagine from the implication of race. You could good yeah, they can bump you out of your roll. You can bump them. There’s bombs on the track some places like those bomb plants. Yeah, I guess so. Sometimes these Gorons will explode because they’re not the pro racer that I am. Near. You get here bonk

Haney 41:57
bonk bonk bonk.

Unknown Speaker 41:59
Are they faster than

Haney 42:00
me? Cuz they’re fucking Goron racers. What do you Wow What did you just think this is gonna be easy. Yeah,

Chris 42:07
not our money.

Haney 42:09
We should play Mario Kart. Probably. We should definitely play Mario Kart together. Here we are in Beggar’s Canyon. From a prequel fans out there

Unknown Speaker 42:24
this is a boba.

Chris 42:29
They don’t even have spikes. Why are they hurting me?

Haney 42:31
I’m not hurting you. They’re just kicking your ass. You did? Well,

Chris 42:36
yeah. How many times did it take me? How

Haney 42:37
many one? Yeah, you got you got first place immediately. Even though you didn’t think you did?

Chris 42:42
Could you say it slower?

Haney 42:44
You got first place immediately.

Unknown Speaker 42:48
That was great. I knew you were the fastest car on daarmee did it?

Haney 42:52
I’m sure you’d get first place no problem. This is from daddy. It’s the price. Ah, you got a bottle of gold dust quality available.

Unknown Speaker 43:02
I want to be just like you quick.

Haney 43:07
Is that enough of this nonsense.

Chris 43:09
Something something finishing quick.

Haney 43:13
You knew from talking to the Smitty that was McGee or nipples McGee, that if you bring him gold dust, along with your sword, and some monies, he can make you a special sword that will always be strong no matter what. And you’ll never have to pay him to resharpen it ever again. Cool. Yeah, Chris fucking puts that in his back of his mind as deep in there as possible. Right now rolls away and never remember is it? You do another race just to see you like if you can do better, quote unquote, because you didn’t realize that you won. And you’re like convinced that the game glitched because you were like, Wait, why did I get that prize? I didn’t come in first.

Chris 43:50
I felt like I was so behind the entire race.

Haney 43:53
You did significantly worse. The second I very much did. Yeah. I think you came in fifth.

Chris 43:59
We’re gonna cut that.

Haney 44:01
Oh, actually, I guess you raised four times. No, in total I did not. So the first time you raced you got the gold dust. Awesome. Right second time you raised you immediately disqualified yourself because you walked across the finish laws and cow as a separate race. The third time you raced you know they didn’t cancel the race. You’re just you know, they

Chris 44:21
just put me back on the track. I didn’t have to talk to the kid to restart it again.

Haney 44:24
I’m pretty sure that said you were disqualified. They said somebody you had a false start.

Chris 44:29
Listen handy. When you have people racing and somebody false starts. They don’t say fuck it. It’s done. Everyone go home. We’ll try this again tomorrow.

Haney 44:38
That’s why that guy has the gun at the racist. If you have a false you get executed immediately.

Chris 44:45
Okay, that’s true. I did forget about that. And then you had race

Haney 44:48
four or three depending on your meter Chris. And you said Fuck this. You just turned around and

Chris 44:56
left which as far as I’m concerned means I won.

Haney 44:59
Yeah. I’ll agree to that. Are you just doing it again to see if

Chris 45:05
I want to see if I can do any better? Because I didn’t. Oh, I disqualified you fuck. So, why did I get that prize? I definitely didn’t come in first. Yeah, he said you’re the fastest, but I wasn’t like I was very obviously not.

Haney 45:22
You were definitely a first that’s i That’s why I asked why you’re doing it again.

Chris 45:25
But there are people who are passing me the entire fucking time.

Haney 45:28
They don’t stay in first. It’s a race. I don’t understand. See how this this person in front of you. You can overtake them. They can overtake you again.

Chris 45:37
Oh, do you see that? We’ve Yeah, do you

Haney 45:39
see like you just ever took them? People like there’s bombs and like stuff on the course too that like cause people that fuck up. That’s not how races work. You’re definitely not in first. This time you’re in fifth. It looks like

Chris 45:51
Ah, man, I can’t believe I aced my first try.

Haney 45:56
So at this point, it was pretty far into time. I think you’re close to the third day because he had spent quite a bit of time just walking around kind of understanding stuff. I did go

Chris 46:06
back to the elder two. Because what he said was like, hey, after you’ve won the race, come back to me and tell me your decision about leading our people.

Haney 46:17
