00:00:00.008 --> 00:00:03.588
My name is David Hernandez, and you're listening to As the Pokeball Turns.

00:00:44.011 --> 00:00:46.210
Welcome to As the Pokeball Turns.

00:00:46.518 --> 00:00:53.987
Our journey takes us to Ohio, where we meet a Pokemon trainer whose passion for radio led him to creating a morning show podcast about Pokemon.

00:00:54.435 --> 00:01:01.439
Monday through Friday, you can hear him bringing daily news for Pokemon Go, the TCG, And sometimes a little Scarlet and Violet as well.

00:01:01.853 --> 00:01:08.334
His interest in Pokemon goes beyond podcasting and dives into the world of the Pokemon TCG and Pokemon Go.

00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:11.118
Here is his origin story into the world of Pokemon.

00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:14.108
He is the host of Good Morning Johto.

00:01:14.528 --> 00:01:16.118
This is LaneTheMain.

00:01:17.462 --> 00:01:24.105
Today I'm joined by your favorite morning radio Pokemon host, Lane the Mane.

00:01:24.587 --> 00:01:25.966
Lane, welcome to the show.

00:01:26.096 --> 00:01:27.037
Good morning.

00:01:27.596 --> 00:01:30.356
It's not morning, but I usually start with good morning.

00:01:30.658 --> 00:01:32.147
And that is the interview.

00:01:32.158 --> 00:01:34.268
Lane, thanks for coming on the show.

00:01:34.528 --> 00:01:39.117
But before you go, we have to ask the question we ask every one of our guests.

00:01:39.608 --> 00:01:40.987
What is your favorite breakfast?

00:01:41.358 --> 00:01:42.248
Oh my goodness.

00:01:42.317 --> 00:01:42.957
You know what?

00:01:43.037 --> 00:01:44.957
So I've asked every guest on the show.

00:01:45.259 --> 00:01:47.198
What their favorite breakfast, you know what I mean?

00:01:47.209 --> 00:01:47.799
It's a cut.

00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.299
Like everybody has Pokemon questions.

00:01:49.299 --> 00:01:50.948
Everybody has favorite breakfast.

00:01:51.246 --> 00:01:53.447
So you had one of the best answers.

00:01:53.507 --> 00:01:55.897
So if people go back to that, you had a really good one.

00:01:55.930 --> 00:01:56.900
and here's the thing too.

00:01:56.900 --> 00:01:57.959
And I know this wasn't the question.

00:01:58.256 --> 00:02:01.816
Every single guest has had a different answer from all the other guests.

00:02:02.420 --> 00:02:05.890
when we started, I thought they were all going to be the same, but no, they're all, no, you know what?

00:02:05.909 --> 00:02:10.182
So we're going to start it off biscuits and gravy with probably sided bacon.

00:02:10.508 --> 00:02:15.171
Fried eggs with like sriracha, hot sauce, ketchup, and then maybe a waffle.

00:02:15.301 --> 00:02:15.722
Who knows

00:02:16.069 --> 00:02:16.849
Yeah, that's not a bad.

00:02:16.849 --> 00:02:18.099
It's like a IHOP

00:02:18.324 --> 00:02:20.675
yours was a full course meal, right?

00:02:20.715 --> 00:02:20.935
Like

00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:23.069
Hey, you got to go big or go home,

00:02:23.405 --> 00:02:26.074
yeah, you went through, like, I'm going to have this and start out with this drink.

00:02:26.074 --> 00:02:27.925
And then I'm going to go to this one and start out with this one.

00:02:27.925 --> 00:02:28.074
I'm like,

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:30.189
I mean, it's breakfast.

00:02:30.189 --> 00:02:33.139
You know how difficult it is to choose a breakfast with just one?

00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:33.620
Like, why?

00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:35.060
You just said breakfast.

00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:35.419
I was there.

00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:36.979
Well, he just, he didn't say one breakfast.

00:02:36.979 --> 00:02:37.930
So I might as well just go for the whole

00:02:37.944 --> 00:02:38.514
Sure.

00:02:38.551 --> 00:02:41.687
I think that's the thing too cause I can do like steak and eggs or different things.

00:02:41.687 --> 00:02:43.657
Like, I, I don't know why, but I'm really.

00:02:43.657 --> 00:02:47.252
Obsessed with breakfast food, but yeah, I don't know why I love it.

00:02:47.838 --> 00:02:53.098
Trainers, thank you so much for everything that you do, and we'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning.

00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:40.679
Good morning Johto, my name is David here at the Goldenrod Radio Tower bringing you your weekday news for Pokemon Go, Pokemon TCG, and sometimes a little bit of Scarlet and Violet.

00:03:41.318 --> 00:03:45.549
There's so much news to cover, but first, we need to hear the sound of the week.

00:03:45.799 --> 00:03:48.308
Jeff, what sound do you have for us today?

00:03:49.272 --> 00:03:49.712
killed it.

00:03:49.823 --> 00:03:50.842
You can take my job,

00:03:52.204 --> 00:03:54.264
And now it's time for some Pokemon news.

00:03:54.674 --> 00:03:57.084
Lane, what is your experience with Pokemon?

00:03:57.144 --> 00:04:01.163
What's the early history of the Pokemon franchise Lane?

00:04:01.633 --> 00:04:02.954
And I wanted to say this too.

00:04:03.264 --> 00:04:04.274
I've gotten this question.

00:04:04.283 --> 00:04:05.903
Jeff is a real person.

00:04:06.230 --> 00:04:23.838
Jeff is a real individual that I work with in radio that I always give a shout out on the show just cause like, that's the thing, like with me, with radio, but now with my history with Pokemon, I want to say it's not like the basic usual answer, just as a kid got ahold of the games, I believe I probably learned to read off Pokemon.

00:04:24.168 --> 00:04:26.947
I don't know if a lot of people did during that time.

00:04:27.122 --> 00:04:27.682
Really?

00:04:27.713 --> 00:04:28.442
How'd this work?

00:04:28.745 --> 00:04:30.404
Like, because for me.

00:04:30.641 --> 00:04:35.411
it's really easy whenever we do go tours, because I always pick whatever game I picked.

00:04:35.442 --> 00:04:35.762
Right?

00:04:35.791 --> 00:04:36.632
Like really easy.

00:04:36.632 --> 00:04:39.023
I don't look at the shinies on one.

00:04:39.023 --> 00:04:42.112
I don't look at the one and the better the other, like the, cause you always have to choose one.

00:04:42.483 --> 00:04:44.132
I just always choose what game I played.

00:04:44.449 --> 00:04:48.649
And my first memory is I don't really remember I have blue.

00:04:48.709 --> 00:04:49.810
I have my name on it.

00:04:49.850 --> 00:04:51.480
I have like my save file.

00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.579
I have everything there.

00:04:52.874 --> 00:04:59.062
And I just remember getting so frustrated because I think in my mind, I didn't know what the people were saying.

00:04:59.358 --> 00:04:59.678
Right.

00:04:59.678 --> 00:05:12.531
And I'm like, I know that's a pidgey right in my mind and it was like a trial and error thing and then I remember really getting into gold and silver and crystal being like, Oh, I'm now picking up on what the game's supposed to be.

00:05:12.951 --> 00:05:14.831
So I don't even know.

00:05:15.134 --> 00:05:20.896
I think I finished first gen years later, but yeah, the one that I really sink my teeth in was Johto.

00:05:21.136 --> 00:05:22.386
And I think there's a lot of things.

00:05:22.406 --> 00:05:24.165
It's the one that gave us 16 badges.

00:05:24.175 --> 00:05:24.495
You know what I mean?

00:05:24.526 --> 00:05:26.995
It gave us a little after scene.

00:05:27.293 --> 00:05:30.192
and after that I played every single game and then I skipped one.

00:05:30.252 --> 00:05:35.259
I, I've only ever skipped one series of games that I just could not finish.

00:05:35.579 --> 00:05:36.848
Just could not get into.

00:05:37.146 --> 00:05:39.196
You can't leave his hand that way, so which one did

00:05:39.615 --> 00:05:49.396
So I guess it technically, counts as two and I'll say this before I'd even just play like the main, like I played Trozei and mystery dungeon and ranger.

00:05:49.446 --> 00:05:51.136
I loved all of those.

00:05:51.456 --> 00:05:56.266
I have a March birthday and usually the DS games came out with something, right?

00:05:56.266 --> 00:05:57.685
We didn't get a main series game.

00:05:57.865 --> 00:05:59.605
We would get something around that time.

00:05:59.915 --> 00:06:04.235
I remember asking for Trozei and Ranger and the mystery dungeons.

00:06:04.331 --> 00:06:05.492
And I love them all.

00:06:05.541 --> 00:06:06.632
And the same with the pinball.

00:06:06.641 --> 00:06:09.211
I really think they were all, especially Ranger.

00:06:09.672 --> 00:06:13.021
I have a scratched up screen because of how bad Ranger.

00:06:13.822 --> 00:06:22.886
you have to do the circles, have to do the circles and I scratched up so much because of the circles, I don't know if this is a hot take, but I really could not finish a black and white.

00:06:22.925 --> 00:06:27.805
I could not in a lot of people, they love it.

00:06:27.805 --> 00:06:30.625
Cause that's like the first actually storyline, I guess.

00:06:31.016 --> 00:06:31.646
And.

00:06:31.646 --> 00:06:33.175
my wife we were dating at the time.

00:06:33.415 --> 00:06:41.886
Her first ever Christmas to gift to me was like a black and white two and like a black and white one, which is now I knew you haven't checked like almost 200, 150.

00:06:42.076 --> 00:06:43.045
Oh, they're still sealed.

00:06:43.348 --> 00:06:45.869
I, I, I maybe one was sealed.

00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:47.338
One is full complete.

00:06:47.379 --> 00:06:48.499
Like literally I got it.

00:06:48.869 --> 00:06:50.329
And here's my reasons.

00:06:50.709 --> 00:06:53.399
You know, Lane, you know, if you hate the game so much, I'll buy it off you for like 10

00:06:53.733 --> 00:06:59.593
Yeah, like that's, well, for me now, it's one of the first gifts and she always says, of course, it's the she got me, because I'm like, oh, there's a second one.

00:06:59.593 --> 00:07:00.153
I'll try it.

00:07:00.194 --> 00:07:02.947
And as of when it came out, I'm, I'm sure this is true.

00:07:02.947 --> 00:07:06.841
So is it's the least amount of new Pokemon that we've got into a game?

00:07:07.146 --> 00:07:08.841
Like dex wise.

00:07:09.136 --> 00:07:09.875
No, it's the most.

00:07:10.187 --> 00:07:11.047
Are you sure?

00:07:11.901 --> 00:07:15.672
We got 160 from the Black and White series.

00:07:16.031 --> 00:07:21.295
The least one was, I believe, if it wasn't, Kalos, it would have been maybe another generation.

00:07:21.690 --> 00:07:22.740
See, I love Kalos.

00:07:22.783 --> 00:07:25.543
I thought it was like, I guess that's what I didn't like to.

00:07:25.831 --> 00:07:29.107
early on, we didn't just get all the new ones, right?

00:07:29.137 --> 00:07:33.011
Like they really trickled And for me, I want it to feel like a new game.

00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.021
and I always said one day I'll go back and play it like on a stream or something.

00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:37.221
And I love the ROM hacks.

00:07:37.221 --> 00:07:39.440
I'm really, really big into ROM hacks.

00:07:39.810 --> 00:07:43.230
And that's still just like, I could not beat black and white.

00:07:43.230 --> 00:07:48.071
And I know people are really, I met the voice of in and I could not bring up like, Hey, I could never finish that.

00:07:49.161 --> 00:07:49.940
I never

00:07:49.946 --> 00:07:51.656
voice, voice of N from the anime.

00:07:51.750 --> 00:08:02.927
Yeah, the anime, the American voice actor, and he did, I was more talking about him doing, Quacksly, than N, cause I thought it was so crazy about that, like, to do a Pokemon voice and not a person's voice.

00:08:03.526 --> 00:08:04.726
You said you do romhacks.

00:08:04.726 --> 00:08:06.507
So what is it about romhacks that appeals to you?

00:08:06.732 --> 00:08:18.769
Because it's fresh, I think that's what like with cultures and cuisine, like I'm all into the new stuff and I literally bought a device for traveling, and you can download on an SD card, all the ROM hacks.

00:08:19.069 --> 00:08:22.949
you know, I bet you I've played probably a dozen to 2000 rom hacks.

00:08:22.978 --> 00:08:25.819
I love rom hacks because it is new, right?

00:08:25.829 --> 00:08:27.548
Like the fakie mom, the different things.

00:08:27.848 --> 00:08:38.371
I remember that's the first time when I played a rom hack where they used H M's as a key item and not as like an HM, like a, like a, Bidoof or you use one to keep them all, that's the

00:08:38.417 --> 00:08:41.976
Oh Yeah, before it became like Tauros and the

00:08:42.246 --> 00:08:42.456
Yes.

00:08:42.456 --> 00:08:42.557
Yes.

00:08:42.756 --> 00:08:43.037
Yes.

00:08:43.366 --> 00:08:50.193
Like, I remember seeing it in a ROM hack they did it with one of the, like, you could ride a ride horn or ride something.

00:08:50.193 --> 00:08:50.484
Right.

00:08:50.783 --> 00:08:52.224
And I'm like, oh man, I'm playing this ROM hack.

00:08:52.224 --> 00:08:54.224
I'm like, man, that would be an incredible idea.

00:08:54.224 --> 00:09:01.510
Like, I never even thought about like, they used blow up lapras as like, you used it as, and they're like, The waves took you there.

00:09:01.650 --> 00:09:02.051
You know what I mean?

00:09:02.390 --> 00:09:10.821
it's a chance to do new things or like, if you like more, gritty, like a Darkrai cult is one or like they add a type where there's plutonium or, you know what I mean?

00:09:10.850 --> 00:09:15.214
It just something new and fresh, but still something that's so familiar, to your Pokemon brain.

00:09:15.736 --> 00:09:26.037
It's what people have always wanted Pokemon to kind of expand into all of them They ever well because they have their target audience They've Pokemon to address more of the not the coming of age, but getting into adult kind of themes when it comes

00:09:26.116 --> 00:09:29.136
I think Arceus did that to a point and I still have that upstairs.

00:09:29.167 --> 00:09:32.687
I'm still like on the dad gaming of like, I'll get to it in five years.

00:09:34.601 --> 00:09:41.418
But that's, I think that's what like the space really can do and these people spend like five or six years creating these free games, right?

00:09:41.418 --> 00:09:43.899
Like of a parody law type of situation.

00:09:44.083 --> 00:09:45.443
don't make a dime either because they

00:09:45.458 --> 00:09:46.129
don't make dime.

00:09:46.423 --> 00:09:47.634
they would get shut down

00:09:48.019 --> 00:09:52.149
Yeah, it's like a parody law and like, they get to like go through like a free use type of thing.

00:09:52.149 --> 00:09:52.596
And yeah.

00:09:53.168 --> 00:09:54.688
What's one of your favorite ROM hacks?

00:09:55.114 --> 00:09:55.604
Oh man.

00:09:55.634 --> 00:09:57.114
Insurgence is really good.

00:09:57.203 --> 00:10:05.153
So what they do is instead of adding like full fakie mon and full, what they do is the premise It's darker.

00:10:05.451 --> 00:10:07.269
They've switched all the typings.

00:10:07.620 --> 00:10:10.279
instead of Bulbasaur being, okay, let's say Squirtle.

00:10:10.330 --> 00:10:12.620
Squirtle's now a fighting dark type, right?

00:10:12.630 --> 00:10:14.201
So they did experiments on them.

00:10:14.201 --> 00:10:15.870
So a lot of typing switched.

00:10:16.173 --> 00:10:19.716
and there is like 15 new ones where like, I think Charizard's like a skeleton.

00:10:19.716 --> 00:10:21.946
So I think he's ghost dark or something.

00:10:22.254 --> 00:10:36.307
Maybe he's Ghostfire, and they have Megas for these two, but then the main story is, like, Giratina, Darkrai, and all these have cults, and the, like, almost Digi Jest and each have, like, a Celebi and a Mew, and you're getting the kids that have these destined mythicals.

00:10:36.553 --> 00:10:46.186
To fight, it sounds so cool like you're trying to meet these other kids that have these hidden mythicals to take down these cults, that literally sacrifice people and want to take over.

00:10:46.481 --> 00:10:49.831
And like, the beginning scene is your dreams are being eaten from Gengar.

00:10:49.831 --> 00:10:53.971
So you don't remember anything where you came from because cult captured you and everything.

00:10:53.971 --> 00:10:54.231
And

00:10:54.256 --> 00:10:55.527
Is it like amnesia almost?

00:10:55.902 --> 00:11:01.761
yeah, so that's what it was is the amnesia because Gengar just ate basically your brain, like, or your memories and everything.

00:11:01.969 --> 00:11:06.528
And you're just trying to like get everybody together and shaming and all these like wonderful other people.

00:11:06.528 --> 00:11:09.395
And then along the way still have that like new stuff.

00:11:09.395 --> 00:11:14.855
And cause a lot of ROM hacks will just like switch up the starters and have their stuff and, but no res insurgence is the big one.

00:11:14.865 --> 00:11:15.275
That's a big one

00:11:15.527 --> 00:11:16.986
Well, Lane, thanks for coming on the show.

00:11:17.027 --> 00:11:18.136
You've been a wonderful guest.

00:11:18.366 --> 00:11:22.567
But before you go, I have to ask every question we ask every guest who comes onto the show.

00:11:22.907 --> 00:11:24.397
What is your favorite breakfast?

00:11:24.979 --> 00:11:25.399
So.

00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.788
my favorite breakfast now I've been really getting into oatmeal.

00:11:28.828 --> 00:11:31.938
I think oatmeal is like a, low quick breakfast.

00:11:31.948 --> 00:11:33.178
I like that on the go.

00:11:33.501 --> 00:11:38.501
I just named maybe 10 minutes ago, if I have amnesia, a really, really unhealthy breakfast.

00:11:38.711 --> 00:11:42.761
So when I feel like it's too unhealthy, I go like an acai or like a full like.

00:11:42.822 --> 00:11:44.461
Uh, the

00:11:44.496 --> 00:11:45.326
it's okay to be unhealthy.

00:11:45.326 --> 00:11:46.797
I mean, you don't have to be healthy all the time.

00:11:47.642 --> 00:11:48.402
problem is I'm healthy.

00:11:48.412 --> 00:11:53.152
None of the time I remember because you've been in almost every single time.

00:11:53.152 --> 00:11:55.399
Like, I don't just call it one show zoom call.

00:11:55.408 --> 00:12:02.229
I just say it's a zoom call of friends and I was really scared because of like how much we were going to walk last year, that I was going to be pooped.

00:12:02.504 --> 00:12:03.673
And I wasn't too bad.

00:12:03.974 --> 00:12:07.996
the blisters on my feet said otherwise, but I'm like, I don't do this.

00:12:08.246 --> 00:12:16.313
Like, this is not my normal thing, but yeah, that's the too much unhealthy breakfast in the, in the Appalachia Pokemon trainer, which there's not a lot of us.

00:12:17.394 --> 00:12:18.844
I mean, oatmeal's pretty good.

00:12:19.083 --> 00:12:21.563
It's underrated, I feel like, as a breakfast item.

00:12:22.043 --> 00:12:25.724
You don't hear many people really say, like, oh, I like oatmeal, it's just, it's there kind of

00:12:25.778 --> 00:12:32.389
because when it's at restaurants, it's just bland oatmeal, but not like when it's at home, like your brown sugar, your, apples and cinnamon.

00:12:32.438 --> 00:12:32.849
You know what I mean?

00:12:32.849 --> 00:12:36.822
Like there's always like, I do two healthy meals a day and then I have one that I just go nuts.

00:12:36.871 --> 00:12:38.371
And I know that's not how it works, but.

00:12:38.442 --> 00:12:39.442
That's how we're starting it out.

00:12:39.777 --> 00:12:40.956
Hey, it's called progress.

00:12:40.985 --> 00:12:42.554
you know, you eventually work your way there.

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:43.179
Sure.

00:12:43.256 --> 00:12:50.904
and then I go to places like when we, like, when I go to all these out of town trips and then just eat like a crazy person, you're in a new city.

00:12:50.904 --> 00:12:51.625
It's like Christmas.

00:12:51.625 --> 00:12:53.774
You don't want to like be on a diet during that time.

00:12:54.115 --> 00:12:54.884
Oh no, definitely.

00:12:55.695 --> 00:13:01.144
Thanksgiving and Christmas, well, Thanksgiving if you're in the states, is one of the worst times to try to do a diet.

00:13:01.195 --> 00:13:02.835
It's just impossible.

00:13:03.034 --> 00:13:05.674
I mean, you have to have the willpower of a god, I feel like.

00:13:05.951 --> 00:13:06.291
Well, yeah.

00:13:06.291 --> 00:13:07.461
And it's like a special thing.

00:13:07.461 --> 00:13:08.610
And I don't want to be that person.

00:13:08.610 --> 00:13:09.791
That's like, Oh man, sorry.

00:13:09.791 --> 00:13:11.191
I'm on a, diet.

00:13:11.191 --> 00:13:12.541
Like, no, I'm like, I'm just going to eat whatever.

00:13:12.846 --> 00:13:14.346
Well, Lane, thanks for coming on the show.

00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:19.899
Trainers, thank you so much for everything that you do, and we'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning.

00:13:55.486 --> 00:13:57.557
Good morning, Johto.

00:13:57.677 --> 00:14:01.216
My name is David here at the Goldenrod Radio Tower.

00:14:02.397 --> 00:14:04.177
Wait, I feel like I've done this, Lane.

00:14:04.981 --> 00:14:05.381
Maybe it

00:14:05.397 --> 00:14:06.086
seem familiar?

00:14:06.652 --> 00:14:09.761
Hey, if you do it every day for like a year and a half almost you got it

00:14:10.111 --> 00:14:13.802
Do you ever go to a point to where you're like, I think I did an episode today, and you're just not too sure?

00:14:13.841 --> 00:14:15.322
Because I feel like we've done this already.

00:14:15.471 --> 00:14:19.652
There's sometimes where I feel like I've repeated my intro a bunch

00:14:20.371 --> 00:14:20.922
Really?

00:14:20.942 --> 00:14:23.322
why don't I just record it and then put it up in the beginning?

00:14:23.792 --> 00:14:24.461
That's a good question.

00:14:24.461 --> 00:14:25.261
Why don't you just have a

00:14:25.381 --> 00:14:27.221
I Think I say that every day.

00:14:28.822 --> 00:14:28.961
I

00:14:29.062 --> 00:14:31.022
just like to, Oh my God.

00:14:31.052 --> 00:14:34.011
So you've recorded every single episode raw or brand

00:14:34.101 --> 00:14:35.412
Oh, a thousand percent.

00:14:35.461 --> 00:14:36.631
And that was the thing too.

00:14:36.981 --> 00:14:41.871
So like, it really was like, I went to college, I went into like professional radio, I did all this stuff.

00:14:42.155 --> 00:14:49.779
I always said when I go on other shows, I dropped like the wrestling, like the, aura of me actually being in Joe town, like I record every single Sunday through Thursday.

00:14:50.134 --> 00:14:51.423
this is one thing too, that they taught us.

00:14:51.443 --> 00:14:52.379
And it's like the weather.

00:14:52.509 --> 00:14:56.320
You can't pre record the weather because if you do, there's a big chance you can get it wrong.

00:14:56.789 --> 00:15:02.591
So I don't want to record all my shows for Sunday because with Pokemon go new news comes out almost every single day.

00:15:02.897 --> 00:15:06.085
so literally every single night my sleep schedule is awful.

00:15:06.085 --> 00:15:11.414
I wait until almost the last minute and then, okay, all the news is done now to get ready for tomorrow.

00:15:11.644 --> 00:15:14.798
and I've done that for, since December of 22.

00:15:15.552 --> 00:15:21.581
Have you ever, like, slept and just say good morning Johto and just say it in your sleep at this point?

00:15:21.591 --> 00:15:22.481
Like, you said how

00:15:22.677 --> 00:15:24.547
there was one time I got up at 2 a.

00:15:24.547 --> 00:15:24.777
m.

00:15:24.797 --> 00:15:27.822
Like I'm so committed to it and I've done it in the road.

00:15:27.832 --> 00:15:32.455
Like I've done it, like I've taken my recording set up with me and I know this is the thing too, cause someone taught me this.

00:15:32.455 --> 00:15:35.303
Like, I think it was RTC that taught me you got to take a break.

00:15:35.475 --> 00:15:37.054
you got to take a little mental health.

00:15:37.065 --> 00:15:40.519
Like you've got to take like a week, like so holidays or something just to like.

00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:48.515
Revitalize you right and I think the podcasters do that really well when we go like away And then that's when all the video people are like what's a break.

00:15:48.717 --> 00:15:58.227
is what I have to video everything like that So no, I've probably I'm trying to think of how many days off I've taken off it's probably like 10 days or something out

00:15:58.258 --> 00:15:59.307
Yeah, it's not many.

00:15:59.638 --> 00:15:59.857
yeah.

00:15:59.857 --> 00:16:03.807
Cause I take the week vacation that I went to Mexico to try to get a halucha.

00:16:04.104 --> 00:16:07.703
and then like, even when I'm sick here and there, I at least try to post something.

00:16:08.043 --> 00:16:14.942
but I literally, that's what I wanted to do is I said, like, so many people put up like weekly content, nobody does like, 10 minute dailies.

00:16:14.942 --> 00:16:16.623
like I said, you're pooping or shower content.

00:16:16.873 --> 00:16:19.702
And that's what I really wanted to, that's literally what it was.

00:16:20.072 --> 00:16:21.852
I know of, I won't say his name.

00:16:22.092 --> 00:16:30.171
I know a creator that was listening to me every single day when he was in the shower and he would do it like before he pooped, but he had it timed perfectly that he would know.

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:32.971
For how long my shows usually are that he could start.

00:16:32.990 --> 00:16:37.414
And when it was stopping, how long it took him, that when my show was over, he was like, okay, lane's ending.

00:16:37.414 --> 00:16:38.934
Now I need it in my shower and everything.

00:16:38.934 --> 00:16:39.554
He told me that.

00:16:39.715 --> 00:16:40.044
Right.

00:16:43.014 --> 00:16:46.004
That's impressive that your show can measure people's bowel movements.

00:16:46.004 --> 00:16:47.534
I'm really impressed by that.

00:16:47.715 --> 00:16:52.879
I remember, I think you were one of the people that when I hit like 15 or 20 minutes, you're like, whoa, dial it back there.

00:16:53.176 --> 00:16:55.515
I know a few of our friends and I'm like, Hey, I'm so sorry.

00:16:55.515 --> 00:17:00.394
Like sometimes there's 20 minutes hit, but usually I'm like an eight to 12 minutes of just everything.

00:17:00.404 --> 00:17:02.686
Like, and I have to have it like that was in the beginning.

00:17:02.985 --> 00:17:08.615
I'm like, okay, I have to split it up through every single day cause you just can't cover the same thing every single day until Friday.

00:17:08.928 --> 00:17:09.938
I try to fill a void.

00:17:09.938 --> 00:17:14.951
That's not in our space and I know Kent Pescatore said that he was going to make a knockoff of my show one day.

00:17:15.321 --> 00:17:16.491
So I'm still on that.

00:17:16.576 --> 00:17:17.326
Still waiting.

00:17:17.632 --> 00:17:18.332
Yeah, still waiting.

00:17:18.342 --> 00:17:21.461
He said he was going to get Adam to do it every day, and Adam's like, Good luck.

00:17:21.772 --> 00:17:22.702
good morning Kanto.

00:17:23.097 --> 00:17:25.038
Oh man, it would be like, yeah.

00:17:26.048 --> 00:17:28.137
Good morning Professor Network, and I'm like, do it.

00:17:28.298 --> 00:17:28.938
Do it!

00:17:30.012 --> 00:17:34.593
Well, we got so much news to cover lane, but first I got to ask, like, what's your experience with the Pokemon

00:17:34.847 --> 00:17:37.465
Man, so, It's something that's so different.

00:17:37.486 --> 00:17:45.809
And I feel like that's like when we all talk and everything and hang out, I try not to talk too much about it, but I have what I call my, what I thought my dream job would be when I was younger.

00:17:45.809 --> 00:17:47.076
Like, this is really what I wanted.

00:17:47.076 --> 00:17:49.516
and I thought I would do it, do radio forever.

00:17:49.536 --> 00:17:56.393
But what I do is I work at a TCG store, for like Pokemon magic, Digimon, one piece, all the different stuff in like a comic book store.

00:17:56.742 --> 00:18:03.893
And then also of course, like This is not like a for real, for real thing, but some games have, you have to have the, staff trained in that game.

00:18:04.383 --> 00:18:09.143
So like, if you sell that product, you need to know how to teach someone that product.

00:18:09.425 --> 00:18:18.395
before that I knew I really liked Pokemon TCG and getting them into a little bit, this is what I said to, I'm better at the TCG than I am go.

00:18:18.425 --> 00:18:20.586
But for whatever reason, I do a daily go show.

00:18:20.863 --> 00:18:23.282
So I've been playing card games.

00:18:23.522 --> 00:18:33.553
Gosh, probably like for 15 years, it's like been my main hobby, like other card game, but I have just a love of competitive card games and Pokemon has always been the best economy.

00:18:33.553 --> 00:18:36.292
like it's a good game that I don't have to have like a mental, break.

00:18:36.292 --> 00:18:38.022
I can like eat a pizza, hang out.

00:18:38.022 --> 00:18:41.343
and it's just one of those things of, you can just play a lot of really cool cards, I guess.

00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:42.420
I was curious.

00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:44.720
You said like, you thought you'd be working the dream job.

00:18:44.970 --> 00:18:47.220
So is it not like what you'd hope to be as a car collector?

00:18:47.230 --> 00:18:51.640
Cause I feel like be a car collector in a car shop, like that's kind of the ultimate go as a kid.

00:18:51.795 --> 00:18:52.424
Yes.

00:18:52.454 --> 00:18:55.770
So that was because, okay, I wanted to, but it's like the same thing.

00:18:55.780 --> 00:18:59.728
Like everybody says is like, will it provide for yourself or a family?

00:18:59.738 --> 00:19:04.317
Or you want to mean could I actually do it and not be like a star?

00:19:04.337 --> 00:19:04.657
What is it?

00:19:04.657 --> 00:19:06.498
They call it like a starving museum, starving

00:19:06.772 --> 00:19:07.593
Starving artist.

00:19:07.613 --> 00:19:08.492
Yeah, Oh Sorry.

00:19:08.563 --> 00:19:09.012
Musician.

00:19:09.367 --> 00:19:09.998
Exactly.

00:19:09.998 --> 00:19:12.067
That of like, man, that would be really cool.

00:19:12.375 --> 00:19:13.164
And.

00:19:13.164 --> 00:19:15.865
I went into radio and I literally, it was so funny.

00:19:16.117 --> 00:19:18.010
I did the morning show and I would get off at 10 a.

00:19:18.010 --> 00:19:18.351
m.

00:19:18.657 --> 00:19:20.984
And then my wife wouldn't get off to like seven or eight.

00:19:20.984 --> 00:19:25.505
So I'd send every single day in a card like, Hey, my job was done for the day.

00:19:25.755 --> 00:19:27.244
I can go do whatever.

00:19:27.714 --> 00:20:02.559
And then finally I learned like, Oh man, like These guys are great and not just like grinding and making money and like providing for them family because this was the thing and you said it so perfectly and you didn't mean to I always told if You collect comics or cards or whatever open a bar if you collect guitars open a car So you want to mean because the way you said it is like I didn't want my hobby to turn into my job Right, But that was a fear of mine early, early on was that's my escape, that is my, we've seen a lot of people do that in the Pokemon community as a whole, even like in with this, but it was, if that's my escape and my escape comes to my job, what's going to be my escape.

00:20:02.871 --> 00:20:07.121
And so that's how Pokemon go was born for me more is I still did it every day.

00:20:07.181 --> 00:20:08.020
Still done it every day.

00:20:08.367 --> 00:20:12.565
So really lean into TCGs, but then like on my lunch breaks, I'll go play go.

00:20:12.565 --> 00:20:14.214
Like I can talk about it with customers.

00:20:14.214 --> 00:20:21.990
I can go do, but when my day's off or my other things, like I'll go play go, but yeah, like, when your hobby becomes your job to not make it still.

00:20:22.010 --> 00:20:24.530
And my, my boss told me then he was like, don't worry.

00:20:25.001 --> 00:20:26.412
It won't like, I promise.

00:20:26.442 --> 00:20:32.791
And I swear I've been at that job now for like almost four plus years and hanging out years before, like, like almost like an intern.

00:20:33.060 --> 00:20:33.990
Yeah, no, it's fine.

00:20:34.320 --> 00:20:35.240
never burn out.

00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:35.790
Never.

00:20:35.820 --> 00:20:38.070
Cause you can always like switch it up in so many ways.

00:20:38.310 --> 00:20:39.111
No, it's fine.

00:20:39.707 --> 00:20:44.567
when it comes to the Pokemon TCG you said it's accessible it's cheap that's what's kept you engaged with it.

00:20:44.856 --> 00:20:45.317
Yeah.

00:20:45.376 --> 00:20:54.287
Because like you look at boxes, you look at card prices, you look at all this stuff and it blows you away, but competitive decks are not like that.

00:20:54.326 --> 00:21:00.421
Like at all, 50 bucks, you can get almost like probably if not the best deck or really, really close.

00:21:00.721 --> 00:21:02.290
And that's if you don't have the stuff already.

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:03.411
And then.

00:21:03.615 --> 00:21:10.347
So what other online TCGs do, or don't do that Pokemon does is for every pack you buy, you get a pack of online cards.

00:21:10.877 --> 00:21:13.877
Well, that pack of online cards is like literally a penny or two.

00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:18.237
So if I want to buy 500 codes, it's 50 bucks.

00:21:18.557 --> 00:21:21.555
And that gets me basically the complete set.

00:21:21.858 --> 00:21:28.883
So if I need to spend 10 or get people like to donate, cause I know collectors that throw those cards out and that's where it gets really good too.

00:21:29.202 --> 00:21:30.972
So the really, this is usual.

00:21:30.972 --> 00:21:32.393
This is 90 percent of this game.

00:21:32.673 --> 00:21:36.333
The high, high end cards, like the big fancy ones are not playable ones.

00:21:36.643 --> 00:21:37.403
They're garbage.

00:21:37.699 --> 00:21:42.442
which means they want to get rid of the terrible cards, which usually are the playable cards.

00:21:42.442 --> 00:21:43.363
And then the.

00:21:43.363 --> 00:21:46.772
TCG people are like, okay, I want to build more decks and stuff.

00:21:46.772 --> 00:21:51.462
So when I pull this big, awful playable card, I want to get rid of it to make more decks.

00:21:51.482 --> 00:21:54.613
So it's this own circle of its own thing.

00:21:54.923 --> 00:21:58.053
like the Umbreon Moonbeer on from a volume says it's like 500.

00:21:58.532 --> 00:22:00.573
Hasn't seen play has not touched play.

00:22:00.573 --> 00:22:01.002
Really?

00:22:01.173 --> 00:22:02.913
It's been almost like three years.

00:22:03.153 --> 00:22:03.593
Nothing.

00:22:03.898 --> 00:22:04.648
500.

00:22:04.950 --> 00:22:11.363
the most popular usually are like Charizard, Pikachu, Eevee evolutions, Dragonite, Gyarados, you know what I mean?

00:22:11.363 --> 00:22:12.303
You could probably like name like

00:22:12.313 --> 00:22:16.063
the OGs, anything you think of popular Pokemon, it's probably gonna be worth a lot.

00:22:16.333 --> 00:22:16.682
Yeah.

00:22:16.682 --> 00:22:18.333
And I've never had one that shocked me.

00:22:18.363 --> 00:22:23.576
Cause I can't remember who said this out of our friend group, but someone said like every single Pokemon is someone's favorite Pokemon.

00:22:23.955 --> 00:22:24.506
Yes.

00:22:24.520 --> 00:22:25.611
I've always thought of that.

00:22:25.671 --> 00:22:27.310
I'm like, Oh man, that's so true.

00:22:27.615 --> 00:22:31.265
that's why I'm like, man, someone may not like this, but Hey, it's somebody's favorite.

00:22:31.876 --> 00:22:37.778
When it comes to like the TCG side, do you like to collect the entire collection or do you collect certain cards?

00:22:37.778 --> 00:22:38.448
Like, how do you,

00:22:38.750 --> 00:22:40.960
So I do more on digital now.

00:22:40.990 --> 00:22:45.045
I do a lot more because like if I'm in the store, this is what I tell people when I hire it.

00:22:45.045 --> 00:22:48.734
Like when I I'm on the hiring board for them or hiring team, it's like.

00:22:49.150 --> 00:22:51.140
You have to give the fun, right?

00:22:51.150 --> 00:22:53.339
Like I'm helping new trainers get into the game.

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:55.000
I'm giving away, I'm teaching people.

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.680
And then I'm running the tournament as a tournament organizer.

00:22:57.977 --> 00:23:05.174
so most of the time I'll have like paper cards, but I usually go like, if it's a Pokemon I like or something, I'll get like a, an alternate or something.

00:23:05.174 --> 00:23:05.484
I like it.

00:23:05.494 --> 00:23:07.244
Like I, I of course pick ludicolous.

00:23:07.565 --> 00:23:08.765
but a lot of it, I do digital.

00:23:08.815 --> 00:23:11.565
I really, really like doing a digital plus it is cheap.

00:23:12.013 --> 00:23:16.173
Since we're on that topic, what are your thoughts on the new Pokemon TCG they announced recently?

00:23:16.476 --> 00:23:20.346
so someone explained this to me like Hearthstone, Marvel snap dual links?

00:23:20.355 --> 00:23:20.965
Have you ever heard of it?

00:23:20.965 --> 00:23:24.990
Like any of So someone said they hope it's that version of that.

00:23:25.223 --> 00:23:26.344
Pokemon's already.

00:23:26.374 --> 00:23:30.364
And a lot of the Japanese games are best at one games, not like the Americanized best of three.

00:23:30.663 --> 00:23:35.883
so most of the time Pokemon or your locals is 35, is it 30 or 35 minutes?

00:23:35.883 --> 00:23:36.373
Close to that.

00:23:36.683 --> 00:23:37.983
It's already short.

00:23:38.094 --> 00:23:40.804
Some other games are 50 minutes, 60 minutes, 110.

00:23:40.804 --> 00:23:42.564
but with Pokemon, it's already short.

00:23:42.856 --> 00:23:55.953
I love Marvel snap and some of these other games like hearthstone, because there are three to five minute games, no matter what you're in and out, people's attention span is not like, I'm really big on capturing people's attentions, spans and I think pocket is going to be a similar version of that.

00:23:56.034 --> 00:23:57.453
Is that, that's what I think, right?

00:23:57.473 --> 00:24:00.903
They already showed it's going to be the TCG, but not really the TCG.

00:24:01.192 --> 00:24:06.281
so if it's a quicker version, I want to see what it offers me differently than me playing on live.

00:24:06.782 --> 00:24:09.792
you don't care for like the new art to where you can kind of immerse yourself into it.

00:24:09.803 --> 00:24:10.563
Cause that's my favorite part.

00:24:10.563 --> 00:24:12.452
I look forward to seeing kind of how the art comes out.

00:24:12.678 --> 00:24:18.998
So this is what I say to, and this is where it really gets back to, I'm really love playing Pokemon go, right?

00:24:19.008 --> 00:24:20.157
Like I know it's an incredible game.

00:24:20.157 --> 00:24:38.727
I tell people, I believe it's one of the greatest games ever created because it changed the sphere of gaming for that one summer plus on and whatever takes away from me playing go now, if I'm on a route or something, what I'll do is like, I'll let the go plus plus, and I will pull up like a quick card game or something to pass the time while I listen to.

00:24:38.837 --> 00:24:40.008
A bunch of different shows.

00:24:40.317 --> 00:24:45.586
I do think some of the AR stuff is cool, but that's where like the NFT, like if I could trade or someone like what does it offer me?

00:24:45.586 --> 00:24:47.086
So this is how I think about food places.

00:24:47.356 --> 00:24:50.037
What does it offer me that this food place doesn't offer,

00:24:50.557 --> 00:24:51.336
facts.

00:24:51.507 --> 00:24:52.166
facts.

00:24:52.277 --> 00:24:54.777
always said, every food place has to have a thing, right?

00:24:54.797 --> 00:24:56.414
Like what are you known for?

00:24:56.565 --> 00:25:04.265
You just can't be, we're a food place, not to call out any food places, but I have like a list of them that I'm like, what are they good at if they're good at nothing?

00:25:04.557 --> 00:25:04.836
Lane.

00:25:04.836 --> 00:25:05.527
This is what we need to do.

00:25:05.527 --> 00:25:07.126
We just need to start a podcast and talk about food

00:25:07.346 --> 00:25:14.057
I can talk about food every single Max and Hermes was that food place, they got chicken tortilla soup and it changed everything.

00:25:14.267 --> 00:25:20.196
They made a chicken tortilla soup burger where you poured soup on the burger, you got a side of soup, like they knew they hit gold.

00:25:20.530 --> 00:25:27.709
I wanted to do, when I was in radio, a daily food review of like me going to all the different food places to try all the different foods.

00:25:27.891 --> 00:25:28.050
Oh

00:25:28.361 --> 00:25:36.179
My TikTok is formed for all the fast food and like name brand stuff when food drops So I can go get it and try it like at the grocery store and stuff.

00:25:36.663 --> 00:25:38.133
Well Layne, that is an interview.

00:25:38.202 --> 00:25:39.432
Thank you for coming on the show.

00:25:39.782 --> 00:25:43.423
before you go, we have to ask you the question we ask every one of our guests.

00:25:43.833 --> 00:25:45.173
What is your favorite breakfast?

00:25:45.498 --> 00:25:53.826
So I'm obsessed with cereals that whenever a new cereal comes out I love like the churro cereal the French toast cereal.

00:25:54.124 --> 00:25:56.074
I'll give you in the poo ones a try.

00:25:56.329 --> 00:25:59.789
Actually, hot take of mine, cereals to me are more of a dessert.

00:26:00.069 --> 00:26:01.599
I don't know why, but I like them

00:26:01.835 --> 00:26:02.565
I see that.

00:26:02.714 --> 00:26:03.384
Especially you get those

00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:04.259
sweeter later.

00:26:04.875 --> 00:26:09.018
Like late at night, you're like, man, I eat cereal more at night than I ever do in the morning.

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:12.220
I bet there's some wacko who says that the oatmeal is pretty good, so.

00:26:12.230 --> 00:26:13.890
I mean cereal's cereal's where at.

00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:14.670
Yeah.

00:26:14.789 --> 00:26:15.400
What kind of cereal?

00:26:15.420 --> 00:26:16.130
Do you have a brand?

00:26:16.970 --> 00:26:18.470
Trix, Captain Crunch.

00:26:18.890 --> 00:26:21.823
Um, cinnamon toast has been putting out a lot of different ones that I've really liked.

00:26:21.823 --> 00:26:24.382
like different, each week I try to like, literally, I'm not joking.

00:26:24.382 --> 00:26:27.182
There was one where, what was it?

00:26:27.251 --> 00:26:30.208
It, it popped in your mouth almost like, Pop rocks.

00:26:30.208 --> 00:26:32.238
Like it was a cereal that had pop rocks in it.

00:26:32.502 --> 00:26:33.542
Ooh, that sounds good

00:26:33.708 --> 00:26:34.528
I'm not joking.

00:26:34.577 --> 00:26:37.038
Literally like, this is what I love cooking.

00:26:37.038 --> 00:26:40.395
I love the different things, but I will watch like this week on new food brands.

00:26:41.006 --> 00:26:43.286
McDonald's on Thursday is getting a new milkshake.

00:26:43.306 --> 00:26:47.425
McDonald's on this talk about getting this and watch out for these new name brand cereals coming out.

00:26:47.425 --> 00:26:48.336
And I'm like, Oh, okay.

00:26:48.932 --> 00:26:50.563
Can I say the most overrated cereal?

00:26:50.833 --> 00:26:51.762
Just my opinion?

00:26:52.073 --> 00:26:52.452
Okay.

00:26:52.962 --> 00:26:53.823
Frosted Flakes.

00:26:54.512 --> 00:26:55.232
Yeah, it's okay.

00:26:55.343 --> 00:26:56.633
I thought you're going to say Cheerios.

00:26:57.222 --> 00:27:03.423
Well, I mean everybody hates Cheerios, but Frosted Flakes like everybody says it's so good, but it's just like really cornflakes with sugar.

00:27:03.698 --> 00:27:06.607
I always thought Cheerios was a manufacturer issue.

00:27:06.617 --> 00:27:08.518
And I always got the one that didn't have enough honey.

00:27:08.738 --> 00:27:11.528
So I would pour honey on my honey, not Cheerios.

00:27:11.528 --> 00:27:12.538
Cause I thought they didn't put enough

00:27:12.846 --> 00:27:15.017
See, I could never get into Cheerios or even Honey Nut Cheerios.

00:27:15.017 --> 00:27:16.307
I just never liked it.

00:27:16.616 --> 00:27:20.487
So I was always a Captain Crush person and Kix if you remember that back in the day.

00:27:20.521 --> 00:27:21.912
man cakes was good.

00:27:21.991 --> 00:27:25.375
Like but what was well, I'm a honey bunch of oats as an old man.

00:27:25.375 --> 00:27:29.661
Now, that's my like go to, like if I feel like I need to be healthy, but also

00:27:29.826 --> 00:27:31.026
See, I'm a Raisin Bran person.

00:27:31.086 --> 00:27:31.415
Yeah.

00:27:31.426 --> 00:27:31.736
Mm

00:27:32.026 --> 00:27:37.816
like, man, it's one of those things I won't ask for a bowl of raisin brand, but if you hand it to me, I'm like, Oh yeah, it's actually pretty good.

00:27:38.414 --> 00:27:43.674
Trainers, thank you so much for everything that you do, and we'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning.

00:28:19.464 --> 00:28:21.147
Good morning, Johto.

00:28:21.167 --> 00:28:26.488
My name is David here at the goldenrod tower bringing you your weekday news for Pokemon go.

00:28:27.086 --> 00:28:28.376
I Feel like we've done this Lane.00:28:28.946 --> 00:28:30.267


don't think so.00:28:30.517 --> 00:28:30.767


I think00:28:30.846 --> 00:28:33.829


No, this feels this feels familiar I00:28:33.928 --> 00:28:34.458


not doing it.00:28:34.468 --> 00:28:35.147


So it's great00:28:35.394 --> 00:28:40.041


I'm not doing it.00:28:40.041 --> 00:28:43.781


I don't know,00:28:43.791 --> 00:28:44.432


single day.00:28:44.432 --> 00:28:54.842


I have to make sure that they're not that they're a little similar but not a hundred percent similar So like one event I may break up into like three days Fridays, you have no idea what you're getting.00:28:54.872 --> 00:28:55.951


I don't even know what you're getting.00:29:00.558 --> 00:29:04.308


So I know shows, I know people that worked on like shows like Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune.00:29:04.308 --> 00:29:09.570


They only film like, I believe two months a year, maybe month and a half for the whole year.00:29:09.895 --> 00:29:11.776


See, I'm not that I'm not that organized, bro.00:29:11.826 --> 00:29:13.195


Like, I'm I'm a one man show.00:29:13.215 --> 00:29:15.645


They got people hired, I got two dogs who sleep.00:29:15.965 --> 00:29:21.986


I remember like when I started this friend, a friend of both of ours, FishOnAHeater ask me if I was crazy for a day, he's like, are you okay?00:29:22.046 --> 00:29:23.425


Like, Oh my God, it'll be fine.00:29:23.445 --> 00:29:32.405


And I have had gotten used to my sleep schedule, not being the best because I have gotten like just before I go to bed every single night going to go record the show and I love it.00:29:32.778 --> 00:29:38.148


you know, when I had Adam on the show, he said, if my show and your show had a baby, it'd be perfect.00:29:40.828 --> 00:29:44.249


together We get a big thing That's every time I get a little burnt out.00:29:44.249 --> 00:29:46.288


I'm like, okay if I take a break and then I come back just exhilarated.00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:49.925


Lane, let's talk about your experience with Pokemon Go.00:29:49.935 --> 00:29:52.195


So did you first start playing Pokemon Go?00:29:52.788 --> 00:29:55.598


similar to everybody's story I'm a day one.00:29:55.848 --> 00:29:57.469


Uh, I like the people that aren't day one.00:29:57.469 --> 00:30:04.955


Cause I think their experiences were so different, I remember I was literally live on radio I remember hearing about when it was going to launch, right?00:30:04.955 --> 00:30:07.375


Like I remember hearing like, it should be this time today, whatever.00:30:07.675 --> 00:30:12.249


And I'm literally, it's pretty rude, but I did it anyway.00:30:12.249 --> 00:30:13.298


Cause it was still a job.00:30:13.298 --> 00:30:15.598


And I would, they would ask me a question just like you're doing.00:30:15.598 --> 00:30:17.759


And I'd be on my phone and I was just sitting there.00:30:17.798 --> 00:30:20.605


Refreshing to see when Pokemon go could update.00:30:20.929 --> 00:30:29.378


I did the same when the first like go plus came out is like the local game stop opened the time my show ended and I sprinted.00:30:29.682 --> 00:30:31.452


I'm like, all right, everyone have a good rest of your day.00:30:31.452 --> 00:30:32.103


Thank you so much.00:30:32.133 --> 00:30:32.583


Bye bye.00:30:32.593 --> 00:30:36.215


And I threw my headphones down and I ran out the door, to go get my go plus.00:30:36.578 --> 00:30:37.338


Oh, wow.00:30:37.604 --> 00:30:39.534


you know, I've played every single day.00:30:39.614 --> 00:30:43.763


I've only ever missed a week where I took a mental break two years ago.00:30:44.064 --> 00:30:48.384


And then last year when I went on the cruise, but that was only like two days.00:30:48.413 --> 00:30:50.923


Cause I knew my wife and my family would go on any cruise.00:30:51.304 --> 00:30:54.564


So I'm like, okay, what cruise would work out best for Pokemon go?00:30:54.574 --> 00:30:58.054


Like, where have I not been to that has a regional or something?00:30:58.394 --> 00:31:03.550


So I'm like, okay, if I go to Miami, I can get like a Maractus and a Corsola and maybe something here.00:31:03.851 --> 00:31:20.492


And then when I go to Mexico, I had a rule with my family that if you see me running, Do not be alarmed like that was I remember one of our friends also said like he was near it and they're rare then and I accidentally timed it that I was in Mexico during vanilla spawns.00:31:20.538 --> 00:31:22.068


I'm like, Oh my gosh, even better.00:31:22.068 --> 00:31:23.528


I could get when I got one.00:31:23.823 --> 00:31:24.542


that, you know what I mean?00:31:24.542 --> 00:31:31.818


It's going to be a, a switch up one year and I don't care, but that was my, thing is like, when I did a beginning, it was just cause it was a cool game.00:31:32.094 --> 00:31:32.503


Right.00:31:32.824 --> 00:31:37.713


But now that I've had kids now, like my son knows when there was a Pokemon go event, like sweet.00:31:37.713 --> 00:31:47.137


We get to go to the park and like, we get to run around and now he's getting to the age where like, he knows how to catch, you know, he did use my master ball on an area dose and.00:31:47.685 --> 00:31:48.756


I'm like, Oh, it's fine.00:31:48.806 --> 00:31:49.306


And I'm sitting here.00:31:49.306 --> 00:31:52.486


I'm like, well, I guess I have a really great area dose now.00:31:52.885 --> 00:31:53.645


Um,00:31:53.776 --> 00:31:54.306


you keep it?00:31:54.766 --> 00:31:56.736


I thought I did and I called it master ball.00:31:56.766 --> 00:32:14.453


I believe, but no, now it's became like a way for me to actually exercise me to actually like do things cause I know, and we, we probably all hear the same thing is when people are like, Oh, that game's still going on or, Oh, like I played that six years ago or whenever, like, Yeah, like it's still, and got to the point where I run our local community.00:32:14.490 --> 00:32:20.691


I get everybody, like we've had so many people that are that one person that they think, and then we all get together.00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:24.161


and then like things like New York when you're like, man, this game is thriving.00:32:24.479 --> 00:32:29.195


This game is because when you get all the nerds to fly in from all the different places, it's really great.00:32:29.502 --> 00:32:32.573


I'm going to tell you, and I'm going to say this, that I really love this game.00:32:32.903 --> 00:32:34.699


I love everything about it.00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:35.888


I like the walking aspect.00:32:35.888 --> 00:32:37.528


I wish I was not as try hard.00:32:37.528 --> 00:32:39.548


Cause I would have more to do.00:32:39.548 --> 00:32:43.648


but yeah, like, no, I just really think this is one of the greatest games ever created.00:32:44.449 --> 00:32:44.648


do.00:32:45.199 --> 00:32:46.669


What are your favorite ways to play the game?00:32:46.679 --> 00:32:47.709


Because you said you are a try hard.00:32:47.709 --> 00:32:48.378


So like, do you00:32:48.459 --> 00:32:49.239


So I,00:32:49.278 --> 00:32:50.038


like grind?00:32:50.499 --> 00:32:53.219


tried to play, I tried to play competitive.00:32:53.229 --> 00:32:54.338


That was the new thing.00:32:54.638 --> 00:32:55.479


Talking about PVP?00:32:55.798 --> 00:32:56.598


yeah, PVP.00:32:56.598 --> 00:33:00.338


because I was doing a little bit of it and of course, just like anyone and I get customers like this.00:33:00.338 --> 00:33:02.222


I'm like, well, like I, think I'm doing okay.00:33:02.222 --> 00:33:05.432


And then you actually try competitive and you're like, I suck.00:33:05.923 --> 00:33:06.903


Like I am.00:33:07.013 --> 00:33:07.663


Terrible.00:33:07.961 --> 00:33:12.911


and some of the things fish was telling me was just a completely different language, and it was nothing on him.00:33:12.911 --> 00:33:18.050


It was nothing like it was actually like, doing everything within the PVP, but how I've always done it.00:33:18.246 --> 00:33:21.105


Is I'll do PVP as like a palate cleanser, right?00:33:21.105 --> 00:33:22.865


like for me, I'm like, Oh, I caught a four star.00:33:22.865 --> 00:33:23.855


Well, I guess I could try it out.00:33:23.855 --> 00:33:28.346


Or if Ludicolo is good, or like, if there's a week that something's good, I'll be like, Oh, I'll really play this.00:33:28.685 --> 00:33:32.945


I really liked shiny hunting, but I really like just whenever the new thing comes out, like, you know what I mean?00:33:32.965 --> 00:33:33.826


Sharkadet or whatever.00:33:33.826 --> 00:33:35.326


I'm like, Oh man, that's the hunt.00:33:35.645 --> 00:33:37.086


and they do that every single week.00:33:37.086 --> 00:33:39.199


So every single week I have A hunt..00:33:39.513 --> 00:33:40.023


you know what I mean?00:33:40.023 --> 00:33:41.814


And like, I don't count it on shiny's.00:33:41.894 --> 00:33:42.943


I don't count it on anything.00:33:42.943 --> 00:33:50.590


and I also, what I really like is like, let's say my brother or someone's sick while I feel double to go get that for them.00:33:50.590 --> 00:33:51.730


Like they, you know what I mean?00:33:52.060 --> 00:33:57.661


Like, so when I led, when I lead our community events, like I'll go to New York and be like, okay guys, I'm going to trade.00:33:57.661 --> 00:34:00.351


I traded 50 Sigilyphs plus last year.00:34:00.651 --> 00:34:02.121


Like, it's almost like a sourdough.00:34:02.151 --> 00:34:05.070


Like I'm giving, like, this is the things like you don't have to go do these.00:34:05.330 --> 00:34:09.570


Like if you're a rural trainer, like, let us go help you to go do this and all these different things.00:34:09.570 --> 00:34:10.802


But no, I really do.00:34:11.103 --> 00:34:12.896


Like I love every different aspect.00:34:12.905 --> 00:34:15.255


Even if GBL is just, I've been to more regionals.00:34:15.286 --> 00:34:19.065


I've been to so many regionals and nationals and I just go to cheer on the homies.00:34:19.536 --> 00:34:22.255


and I'm, I'm a supportive parent that I'm like, you know what?00:34:22.396 --> 00:34:23.516


I don't know what's going on.00:34:23.516 --> 00:34:24.246


but I love it.00:34:24.552 --> 00:34:25.992


I don't know what's happening.00:34:25.992 --> 00:34:28.333


Chris from go cast and I did that last year at nationals.00:34:28.563 --> 00:34:28.983


We're Like00:34:29.130 --> 00:34:29.889


Mhmm.00:34:30.384 --> 00:34:32.914


We're not doing it, but you're awesome.00:34:33.226 --> 00:34:33.836


but that was it.00:34:33.847 --> 00:34:37.047


So yeah, I'm really going to even do more TCG once here in the next month.00:34:37.047 --> 00:34:38.567


I want to like stream more TCG.00:34:38.864 --> 00:34:43.032


but yeah, go, if you are GBL, you're a genius in my mind.00:34:43.052 --> 00:34:46.572


If you, if you grind in there, you people are geniuses.00:34:47.612 --> 00:34:50.282


Lane, you bring a unique perspective that I want to highlight.00:34:50.362 --> 00:34:59.494


You know, you work at a comic store and a lot of PVP people I've seen, have struggled to try to bring tournaments to the card stores saying card stores usually say they're not worth it.00:34:59.954 --> 00:35:07.804


What advice could you give from your perspective working as a comic book, what advice would you give to somebody who's, is a PVP player trying to start a tournament at a local comic store?00:35:08.393 --> 00:35:25.298


This is such an incredible question that I don't even know how incredible, you know, how many you may have just asked this question, what's so cool about this is I think both the shop and the player need each other and they don't know it really yet at this time or they're getting close to it.00:35:25.369 --> 00:35:27.588


So for me.00:35:27.588 --> 00:35:36.159


we're in like 10, 000, 15, 000 people living in the area, but we still have in our tri state, like 150 to 200 trainers that play pretty frequently.00:35:36.481 --> 00:35:40.271


And whenever I bring up go or for GBL, and they're just like, you know what?00:35:40.282 --> 00:35:43.804


Like it's something I want to try it or different things, but what's hard.00:35:43.884 --> 00:35:46.820


And this is what's so difficult about it is that.00:35:46.967 --> 00:35:51.126


When you go to the store, there is nothing Pokemon Go wise.00:35:51.166 --> 00:35:59.025


They can give Like If you go like the store and us as a store workers is like, what would a trainer playing Pokemon go?00:35:59.045 --> 00:35:59.846


What, right?00:35:59.846 --> 00:36:02.565


Like, if you don't collect the cards, we got nothing.00:36:02.896 --> 00:36:04.146


we don't get codes from night.00:36:04.155 --> 00:36:18.003


This is where the balance between Niantic and, TPCI really is the balance where, TPCI really pushes GBL and competitive, but The only thing that I know and all of go that you can get in battle wise is the world's trophy.00:36:18.309 --> 00:36:21.813


cause I said, even they could give us some, magic together and other things do this.00:36:21.833 --> 00:36:23.882


Give me a random cosmetic that's in the game already.00:36:24.268 --> 00:36:24.518


Right.00:36:24.538 --> 00:36:26.297


Give me a pair of shoes.00:36:26.527 --> 00:36:27.498


Give me a scarf.00:36:27.788 --> 00:36:28.588


I don't care.00:36:28.797 --> 00:36:44.358


Give me something where if you don't, and this is where the trainers that usually do do it, and I know plenty of PVP people that are like, I play go, but I also collect that's where it is for the cards that I could go in and then the shop offers you a box or offers you something that give you as a compensation.00:36:44.688 --> 00:36:48.737


Other than that, I can give you tons of sun chips and barbecue chips and some Coke, right?00:36:48.768 --> 00:36:50.318


Like, you know what I mean?00:36:50.318 --> 00:36:56.878


Like, I feel bad love, like I can give you a gift card, but I don't know how for you to use it, but then.00:36:56.878 --> 00:37:06.842


that's the step for the trainer, but if the trainer just wants to get to a store and everything stores have to fire Pokemon go monthly tournaments, or even weekly tournaments to get their way spot.00:37:07.141 --> 00:37:18.815


So they have the, usually their tour, their store, a Pokestop but to get the special one that says like you're a Pokemon store, you're an official, you now have to have, starting from January of this year, monthly Pokemon go tournaments.00:37:19.114 --> 00:37:22.235


A staff member like me, I'm like, please come to our store.00:37:22.355 --> 00:37:23.585


Like, I want this back.00:37:23.585 --> 00:37:24.664


You want this back?00:37:24.965 --> 00:37:27.275


we can sit and spend Pokestops all day.00:37:27.275 --> 00:37:29.195


Put when Lura parties were a big thing.00:37:29.465 --> 00:37:30.905


I'm like, we can sit there and hang out.00:37:31.222 --> 00:37:33.472


But a lot of families are really getting into it.00:37:33.472 --> 00:37:39.512


I think what the struggle is, Back to the sourdough, the game doesn't tell you how to play GPL, right?00:37:39.512 --> 00:37:46.094


Like the game does not tell you about IVs or any party building or a AAB or ABB or anything like that.00:37:46.405 --> 00:37:55.715


you have to take that step further to go to videos or different things and then go to the store, where I can buy a TCG deck that teaches me all the rules, teaches me everything.00:37:56.012 --> 00:37:57.032


but then go into the store.00:37:57.032 --> 00:38:00.581


I think there's a lot of store places that I knew that don't know how to do it.00:38:00.851 --> 00:38:07.007


Like I went to a lot of, like LGS is LCS is that they're like, man, we're really in to go, but we don't play anymore.00:38:07.318 --> 00:38:08.427


So that person may be you.00:38:08.447 --> 00:38:11.668


Like if you have a local area that doesn't have a trainer, that's in front of it.00:38:12.032 --> 00:38:15.652


Take it, grab life by the feet or whatever.00:38:15.652 --> 00:38:30.400


I didn't want to say journals be the person being the person that heads it up, I've always saw that because if nobody else is going to do it, how many other people want to, that just can't or won't, and then you'll be surprised on how many other people like start popping up, even if it's five or six.00:38:30.730 --> 00:38:33.139


So even if your store doesn't know how to do it.00:38:33.139 --> 00:38:46.027


and I'm near a place like an hour and a half away that like have, I believe, like a monthly 20, 30 people for GBL who, who knew Lexington, Kentucky had like a, giant place for GBL thanks, Wildcat dad.00:38:46.027 --> 00:38:49.717


like I said, it's a sourdough when you have someone to spread out that knowledge.00:38:49.900 --> 00:38:53.840


That he can teach and those people teach and then it grows that way.00:38:54.126 --> 00:38:59.117


but yeah, like just go to your store, see what you need to do and, maybe become that person, even if you don't know too much.00:38:59.722 --> 00:39:05.382


I want to pivot next to your in person experiences because I believe you went to your first go fest in New York City Is that correct?00:39:05.697 --> 00:39:06.387


Yeah.00:39:06.456 --> 00:39:09.376


And I don't know why you guys let me do it.00:39:09.804 --> 00:39:10.764


we're gonna stop you.00:39:10.764 --> 00:39:10.815


I00:39:11.130 --> 00:39:14.398


Well, because we all room together and you're like, hi stranger.00:39:14.398 --> 00:39:15.728


Nice to meet you.00:39:15.728 --> 00:39:17.391


Hope you're not a murderer.00:39:17.391 --> 00:39:17.724


Like.00:39:17.994 --> 00:39:18.465


Like you00:39:18.505 --> 00:39:19.385


check my background.00:39:19.614 --> 00:39:23.355


we all, I always get really like, it's in me emotional about this.00:39:23.655 --> 00:39:26.815


When I started this, I come from a big magic, the gathering background.00:39:26.815 --> 00:39:28.742


I got the idea of good morning Jojo.00:39:28.782 --> 00:39:31.541


Cause I've, I do tech talks every day for a magic, the gathering company.00:39:31.858 --> 00:39:33.378


And I'm like, Oh, I can just do that to Pokemon.00:39:33.675 --> 00:39:37.385


So I knew a lot of magic creators and different people that I could kind of bounce ideas off.00:39:37.692 --> 00:39:43.942


When Good Morning Johto started, I knew nobody, not a soul, not a local person, not in one person that just streamed.00:39:43.952 --> 00:39:45.092


Not one person that I'm like.00:39:45.402 --> 00:39:52.047


I'm going in this alone and all I knew was I was a fan of the shows and I'm like, okay.00:39:52.349 --> 00:39:56.570


And it started where I'm like, Oh, Lord up has the Monday night zoom calls.00:39:56.570 --> 00:39:58.630


I'm like, it's the, how do you make friends?00:39:58.659 --> 00:39:58.940


Right?00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:00.659


Like what is the formula, to00:40:00.764 --> 00:40:02.105


You new kid in class.00:40:02.105 --> 00:40:03.514


You're trying to figure out like, where do I belong?00:40:03.525 --> 00:40:04.344


How do I make a friend?00:40:04.344 --> 00:40:04.724


So I ain't00:40:04.780 --> 00:40:06.840


I feel like I just moved to a new school.00:40:06.869 --> 00:40:10.119


I knew everything from this other game that people don't care about.00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:10.699


And that, you know what I mean?00:40:10.710 --> 00:40:12.570


No one wants to hear like this other stuff.00:40:12.570 --> 00:40:13.030


So I'm like.00:40:13.347 --> 00:40:13.697


Okay.00:40:13.697 --> 00:40:17.355


I'm here and I want to try and, the group just opened with open arms.00:40:17.385 --> 00:40:22.588


I got, I remember I started that January and I'm like, Hey, I have this little show, like, I'm just here to learn.00:40:22.588 --> 00:40:25.967


and then by may we're like, all right, you going with us?00:40:25.967 --> 00:40:26.367


We're staying.00:40:26.367 --> 00:40:26.657


I'm like.00:40:26.657 --> 00:40:32.927


January, February, March, I, I even said on that show last year, I'm like, I'll go to a go fest one day, maybe three or four years.00:40:32.927 --> 00:40:36.007


I said this in 2023, like maybe I'll go one year.00:40:36.077 --> 00:40:37.447


oh wow, so you weren't even committed that00:40:37.447 --> 00:40:38.137


No, no, no.00:40:38.137 --> 00:40:42.621


Because I didn't think I knew my show was different.00:40:42.922 --> 00:40:47.195


And I knew my show, um, like I w it was, like I said, I was that new kid.00:40:47.195 --> 00:40:54.822


And I'm like, maybe one time, like if I really take a year or two to save the money, we can get out because I was thinking in my brain, like I'll buy a hotel room by myself.00:40:54.831 --> 00:40:55.481


I'll do, you know what I mean?00:40:55.481 --> 00:40:58.085


Like I'll go to GO Fest by myself.00:40:58.387 --> 00:41:09.378


Like I did not think of, I would go with a group, especially in 2023, and I remember telling my wife, I'm like, Hey, maybe in 2024, 2025, like I'll start going or maybe like, we'll just see how everything's going.00:41:09.827 --> 00:41:11.628


And then by like April, you got it.00:41:11.657 --> 00:41:14.438


Or may, I think it was a later release that last year.00:41:14.438 --> 00:41:17.157


Cause uh, it was an August and the price was great.00:41:17.157 --> 00:41:17.507


You know what I mean?00:41:17.507 --> 00:41:19.297


Like we're all like, man, this is feasible.00:41:19.307 --> 00:41:21.108


Like it was something that I'm like, okay.00:41:21.108 --> 00:41:23.838


Even if I drive or fly or something like.00:41:23.860 --> 00:41:24.710


What is this?00:41:24.730 --> 00:41:25.900


I didn't know what to expect.00:41:26.206 --> 00:41:37.005


And I'm in this, I believe you were the, you were one of the first people I saw when I opened, if we could call it an Airbnb where we stayed, I opened the door and I'm like, Oh, I know you from zoom.00:41:37.005 --> 00:41:38.164


I know you from your show.00:41:38.474 --> 00:41:45.454


And it was like, I was the new kid in school that everybody opened up to like, I was no longer just a fan of your guys shows.00:41:45.485 --> 00:41:52.041


I became a friend of these shows Me listening to all these different creators, you included make me like start my own show.00:41:52.061 --> 00:41:53.521


And I thought that's where it just ended.00:41:53.592 --> 00:41:53.871


Right?00:41:53.871 --> 00:41:56.121


Like one day I'll talk to these people one day.00:41:56.121 --> 00:42:02.105


And then I'm like sitting on a couch drinking, whatever, like hanging out, like fart burping, walking 60 miles.00:42:02.114 --> 00:42:02.605


You know what I mean?00:42:02.605 --> 00:42:04.885


Like, I never thought it would go from fan.00:42:04.885 --> 00:42:05.675


I thought it would be more.00:42:05.675 --> 00:42:08.434


And then it was just like, Oh no, we're like, you better come next year.00:42:08.434 --> 00:42:09.074


You better come.00:42:09.114 --> 00:42:09.614


You know what I mean?00:42:09.644 --> 00:42:12.159


So no, it was GoFest last year was not even on the radar.00:42:12.688 --> 00:42:13.898


Last question about GoFest.00:42:13.898 --> 00:42:16.588


If somebody was on the fence about going, what would you tell them?00:42:16.987 --> 00:42:17.467


man.00:42:17.527 --> 00:42:20.708


I didn't tell you this, but I was almost on the fence last year.00:42:21.557 --> 00:42:22.838


I mean, it sounds like you were on the fence.00:42:22.838 --> 00:42:24.148


You were on the other side of the fence.00:42:24.358 --> 00:42:25.967


what I thought was.00:42:26.523 --> 00:42:28.413


Is the money worth it, right?00:42:28.443 --> 00:42:32.742


Like even with us paying what we were paying, which was very good, very, very, I think it was very good.00:42:33.056 --> 00:42:36.536


what is something that it would feel good enough to me to that?00:42:36.536 --> 00:42:40.719


That's what in my mind was, for me playing there, what would they offer me?00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:43.530


Like, is an Aerodactyl with a satchel enough.00:42:43.836 --> 00:42:46.016


Like, is that enough to be.00:42:46.016 --> 00:42:47.126


Me paying what?00:42:47.126 --> 00:42:49.646


I'm like a flight, a hotel, you know what I mean?00:42:49.646 --> 00:42:53.510


Like maybe the staying with someone that may like look at me while I sleep.00:42:53.659 --> 00:42:56.599


Not pointing the fingers to you, you know what I mean, like it was,00:42:57.114 --> 00:42:58.204


Hey, I was upstairs, man.00:42:58.250 --> 00:43:07.949


you were upstairs that that's what it was, was I was really on the fence of like, okay, one, it was financially speaking, two was what can Go Fest offer you?00:43:08.342 --> 00:43:14.500


One, it was not even if you don't know people there, because we all said like we walked a whole day with like 20 people.00:43:14.835 --> 00:43:19.485


I know where I'm staying this year because of where we spend a majority of our time last year.00:43:19.755 --> 00:43:24.961


And I swear, if we don't do the same things that we did last year, they're like, Hey, we spent a lot of time here last year.00:43:24.961 --> 00:43:26.981


Well, let's go the opposite side of New York city.00:43:27.152 --> 00:43:29.931


I'm going to be mad for you're like, you know what?00:43:29.931 --> 00:43:31.514


We spent too much time at Bryant park.00:43:31.811 --> 00:43:36.322


But that was one, and you can find people, you can find, like, there's tons of meetups, right?00:43:36.581 --> 00:43:41.182


Like, you went to a few, I couldn't go to a few because my brother is 16 years old, and how dare he?00:43:41.483 --> 00:43:47.012


karaoke, couldn't go to karaoke, couldn't go to the arcade bar, couldn't do those things because I brought a 16 year old.00:43:47.356 --> 00:43:53.440


But There's so many places where at Bryant park, there were so many trainers that showed up to meet one creator.00:43:53.701 --> 00:43:55.891


I believe they called the police as like an escort.00:43:56.190 --> 00:44:02.371


Like too many people, that means too many, like, and that's what I love was like, even if you're, you're scared of like, man, I don't know anybody.00:44:02.606 --> 00:44:03.476


Don't worry.00:44:03.769 --> 00:44:04.750


There was so many.00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:06.030


And this is what I loved about GO Fest.00:44:06.351 --> 00:44:08.972


one side was really for the PVP people, right?00:44:08.981 --> 00:44:17.315


Like the battle frontier side, like you can meet other PVP people, or you can meet where I was near the food trucks trying out, I see comes back to food.00:44:17.704 --> 00:44:19.275


Love trying all the different foods.00:44:19.568 --> 00:44:21.809


There was like a, toppings and cheese sticks loved it.00:44:22.574 --> 00:44:26.474


for me, I always feel like food trucks are a trap, so I always avoid them.00:44:27.074 --> 00:44:27.905


well, they were because.00:44:28.012 --> 00:44:29.652


I'm like, okay, what am I going to eat?00:44:29.981 --> 00:44:33.271


I think they're, they can be a trap and usually they're an expensive trap.00:44:33.572 --> 00:44:34.231


And this is what I did.00:44:34.251 --> 00:44:36.762


I would go up to the cops and be like, Hey, you know any of these?00:44:36.952 --> 00:44:38.541


And they're like, yeah, you need to go try this one.00:44:38.541 --> 00:44:39.181


I'm like, there we go.00:44:39.211 --> 00:44:39.521


You know what I mean?00:44:39.552 --> 00:44:39.961


Talk to the00:44:40.206 --> 00:44:40.947


a good idea.00:44:41.342 --> 00:44:41.672


Yeah.00:44:41.751 --> 00:44:46.327


Cause if they know, and they do big events like this, no matter what, I'm like, Hey, what are you, what are you doing?00:44:46.467 --> 00:44:47.106


What do you think of this?00:44:47.577 --> 00:44:54.757


And then the other part, so financially, maybe it's something like, this is where like saving your money, doing different things, like talking to local people.00:44:55.146 --> 00:45:01.050


Cause it's a lot harder to go and more expensive for one person to go, but like four people to go, We talked about it.00:45:01.059 --> 00:45:03.820


You want to mean you and I've had chats like this of like, you get four people.00:45:03.889 --> 00:45:05.019


I'm driving this year.00:45:05.059 --> 00:45:06.289


I flew last year.00:45:06.536 --> 00:45:07.436


I'm driving.00:45:07.436 --> 00:45:10.047


I have a 10 hour maximum in any direction.00:45:10.356 --> 00:45:11.847


And this is hitting nine, 30.00:45:11.847 --> 00:45:13.456


So it's, it's at my tippy top.00:45:13.753 --> 00:45:17.250


Cause who knew, Good Morning Johto or Goldenrod City is actually in Ohio.00:45:17.554 --> 00:45:18.503


but it hit my.00:45:18.963 --> 00:45:20.559


Who knew I have a show.00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:22.789


Oh, it was a golden or good morning.00:45:22.789 --> 00:45:24.340


Johto, but Johto.00:45:24.340 --> 00:45:27.577


lowercase and put the O in the H as capitalized.00:45:27.766 --> 00:45:29.586


I thought about that as a logo for the future.00:45:29.597 --> 00:45:29.817


That's00:45:30.047 --> 00:45:31.007


Oh, that'd be fancy.00:45:31.097 --> 00:45:31.626


Yeah.00:45:31.831 --> 00:45:32.641


I thought that would be different.00:45:32.641 --> 00:45:40.199


I like to show like I'm in Ohio cause I know there's trainers here, but I'm so like into the freaking gimmick that I'm in this made up universe.00:45:40.509 --> 00:45:44.606


but if you're going to go, find or make your community, go fast if you can drive it00:45:45.490 --> 00:45:46.400


And that's the interview lane.00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:47.630


Thanks for coming on the show.00:45:47.661 --> 00:45:49.710


But before you go, we have to ask you the question.00:45:49.721 --> 00:45:54.221


We ask every one of our guests, what is your favorite breakfast?00:45:54.260 --> 00:45:56.050


I'm stealing land or alphas.00:45:56.400 --> 00:45:57.920


He said, it's G fuel.00:45:58.050 --> 00:46:01.971


That breakfast is basically for suckers and all he drinks is G fuel.00:46:02.150 --> 00:46:04.820


That is the best answer I ever got on the show.00:46:05.130 --> 00:46:05.690


Oh my gosh.00:46:05.690 --> 00:46:07.331


I'm not even sponsored by G fuel yet.00:46:07.510 --> 00:46:09.530


That was his, I love G fuel.00:46:09.530 --> 00:46:10.760


I'm sponsored by G fuel.00:46:11.030 --> 00:46:14.880


He goes, I don't eat all I do for breakfast is drink G fuel.00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:15.081


Mike.00:46:15.545 --> 00:46:16.425


This is awesome.00:46:16.835 --> 00:46:18.666


This is so great.00:46:18.695 --> 00:46:19.835


Shout out LandorAlpha.00:46:19.856 --> 00:46:20.206

Trainers, thank you so much for everything that you do, and we'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning.00:47:02.663 --> 00:47:11.159


Good morning Johto This is David from as the pokeball turns not really bringing you your weekday news, but we have a guest.00:47:11.454 --> 00:47:12.664


Guest who are ya?00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:18.579


My name's Lane from good morning, Johto.00:47:19.173 --> 00:47:27.673


Lane, welcome to as the Pokéball turns an interview podcast centered around how Pokémon has changed our lives and why we continue to play this ridiculous franchise.00:47:27.983 --> 00:47:29.514


I have no idea why00:47:29.806 --> 00:47:30.597


I don't know either.00:47:31.047 --> 00:47:33.396


Sometimes I put this on Twitter one day.00:47:33.396 --> 00:47:37.317


I think it's just habit a lot of people just continue to do it from habit.00:47:37.914 --> 00:47:45.653


Well, Lane, what's interesting about, you know, your Pokémon experience is you've kind of entered the Johto.00:47:46.103 --> 00:47:47.884


And I gotta ask, like, how did that start up?00:47:48.184 --> 00:47:49.244


Like, what's the story behind that?00:47:49.550 --> 00:47:52.766


oh man, I did not want to do the show.00:47:53.077 --> 00:47:55.411


I'll tell you that, and, and it could be shocking.00:47:55.735 --> 00:47:59.891


So I was listening to all these different shows, like I'm an audio file.00:47:59.891 --> 00:48:00.641


I love listening.00:48:00.641 --> 00:48:02.652


I love taking in audio more than I do video.00:48:02.958 --> 00:48:05.719


And I'm like, why is there not a daily show?00:48:06.025 --> 00:48:07.525


I'm like, okay, I don't want to do it.00:48:07.525 --> 00:48:07.945


You know what I mean?00:48:07.945 --> 00:48:09.835


Like, I had, too much on my plate at that time.00:48:09.835 --> 00:48:10.135


Anyway.00:48:10.697 --> 00:48:13.923


And I'm like, I'm not doing And I would listen to more shows.00:48:14.240 --> 00:48:16.751


I'd be like, Oh, it could be a radio show.00:48:16.860 --> 00:48:18.550


I'm like, I need to tickle my radio fancy.00:48:18.550 --> 00:48:19.974


Like I want to dabble with more radio.00:48:19.974 --> 00:48:20.963


I'm like, ah, no, no, no, no, no.00:48:20.974 --> 00:48:21.403


You know what I mean?00:48:21.403 --> 00:48:24.601


And it would go like two more days good morning.00:48:24.601 --> 00:48:26.851


Johto there's a radio tower there.00:48:26.860 --> 00:48:27.280


No, no, no.00:48:27.471 --> 00:48:30.487


And it literally went on for like three or four weeks until at the end.00:48:30.487 --> 00:48:32.873


I asked my wife, I'm like, I'm going to pitch you this show.00:48:33.193 --> 00:48:35.063


You tell me if it's crazy or not.00:48:35.063 --> 00:48:37.561


I said like, there's so many different Pokemon go shows.00:48:37.590 --> 00:48:39.231


And I said, it's a game that I love.00:48:39.543 --> 00:48:42.074


what if we did like 10 minutes, 15 minutes a day?00:48:42.380 --> 00:48:43.791


I've already looked and I had to do two.00:48:43.791 --> 00:48:46.331


I'm like, okay, is there enough to make a daily show?00:48:46.626 --> 00:48:47.476


is there enough for me?00:48:47.476 --> 00:48:50.574


I'm like, okay like there's news drops two days a week, three days.00:48:50.574 --> 00:48:51.704


so I always have a break it down.00:48:51.704 --> 00:48:56.503


Like Monday's the weekend before I've like interview and then Tuesday is like, part two.00:48:56.793 --> 00:48:58.483


Wednesday's go like raids counters.00:48:58.483 --> 00:49:01.543


And then Thursday's PVP and like GBL and like the different teams and everything.00:49:01.911 --> 00:49:02.911


And then that goes for days.00:49:02.971 --> 00:49:07.181


And then I finally pitched it to my wife and by the end of it, she already made me what my logo is.00:49:08.054 --> 00:49:08.465


Really?00:49:08.465 --> 00:49:09.255


So she's the one who made your00:49:09.641 --> 00:49:10.791


Yeah, she made my logo.00:49:10.811 --> 00:49:14.860


So she, just in college and like different things, like knew how to work Photoshop.00:49:15.186 --> 00:49:16.297


she's like, let me help you.00:49:16.297 --> 00:49:22.240


Like, and she's never with content, even when I was in radio, I was in radio morning show and she never listened to any of my shows.00:49:22.554 --> 00:49:25.123


We did 60, seventies and eighties, top 40 hits.00:49:25.384 --> 00:49:27.963


all my coworkers were in like their sixties or fifties up.00:49:28.373 --> 00:49:30.393


And I was the young gun of like.00:49:30.436 --> 00:49:32.516


I would say heat or yo, you know what I mean?00:49:32.516 --> 00:49:38.907


I was not like, I was bringing down to like the semi butt to their old man joke and she wouldn't listen to that.00:49:38.907 --> 00:49:41.706


And then she was like, I think there's something that this is different, right?00:49:41.706 --> 00:49:42.717


Like this is filling00:49:42.827 --> 00:49:44.007


she listens to your show?00:49:44.291 --> 00:49:44.804


still.00:49:44.804 --> 00:49:45.134


No,00:49:45.389 --> 00:49:45.579


Oh.00:49:46.561 --> 00:49:54.530


no, she would, if she liked more Pokemon go, she's recorded shows, but it did, I'll tell you this, it got her to play in Pokemon go, I'll tell that.00:49:54.530 --> 00:49:56.731


Like it got her playing and I always joke.00:49:56.731 --> 00:49:57.221


It's so funny.00:49:57.221 --> 00:49:58.420


You say that I always joke.00:49:58.690 --> 00:50:04.367


I'm like, man, I really wish there was just a show that could tell me every single day, the news that I need to know.00:50:04.677 --> 00:50:05.896


And then she hits me and says, shut up.00:50:06.206 --> 00:50:14.472


It was something that when I talked to the shows previously, like when I was listening, they would always cover their week before now, what was coming up now?00:50:14.472 --> 00:50:18.842


I have learned something that's because of NDA that they can't talk about, but I'm like, well, if it gets announced.00:50:19.146 --> 00:50:24.543


Like you're more talking about what has happened and how your last week is not how your week forwards going to be.00:50:24.817 --> 00:50:25.827


Mm00:50:25.836 --> 00:50:28.507


I get something a little more main time into it?00:50:28.777 --> 00:50:32.054


But it was like, it was something that I'm like, okay, I'll start this.00:50:32.293 --> 00:50:33.684


I remember it was like a December, like 13th.00:50:34.510 --> 00:50:37.635


And I told her, I'm like, you think this is something I could do for time?00:50:37.635 --> 00:50:39.911


Like travel to regionals, maybe travel one day.00:50:39.911 --> 00:50:42.072


And it was a show that I'm like, I just don't have time.00:50:42.463 --> 00:50:42.893


You know what I mean?00:50:42.893 --> 00:50:43.603


I just didn't.00:50:44.152 --> 00:50:45.032


And then nope.00:50:45.072 --> 00:51:00.840


So doing it still trucking along, still loving it now it's just a part of my daily routine of shows my daily, like go downstairs, go to my office and the Goldenrod Radio studio record to edit, do all my stuff and then that's the first thing I did too I'm like, was there any commute shows?00:51:00.871 --> 00:51:02.460


Was there just a show I didn't miss?00:51:02.541 --> 00:51:07.172


so I would ask like other creators and they were like, no, there's not like, well, we have PPP.00:51:07.182 --> 00:51:08.382


We have you with interviews.00:51:08.382 --> 00:51:09.824


We have some people that like, do news.00:51:09.835 --> 00:51:11.954


Some people that we know that do like more rated R news.00:51:12.275 --> 00:51:13.994


I'm like, well, no one does like a daily show.00:51:14.364 --> 00:51:15.155


I'm like, okay.00:51:15.494 --> 00:51:19.278


I get people that like, this is what they listened to on their way to school with their family in the morning.00:51:19.289 --> 00:51:20.949


Like I keep it very family friendly.00:51:21.228 --> 00:51:22.778


Like it's something that I just, you know what I mean?00:51:22.778 --> 00:51:24.059


Like, it's just, it came apart.00:51:24.059 --> 00:51:32.047


I think it was a need of short form content, I think is the future of our small brains for the future is everybody loves short, short form content.00:51:32.375 --> 00:51:36.034


TikTok, of course, like that's the big topic, but there will always be a Vine.00:51:36.034 --> 00:51:37.505


There always is going to be a Reels.00:51:37.514 --> 00:51:39.554


There's always going to be something that people love short film..00:51:40.090 --> 00:51:41.800


I think that's the fun part about podcast formats.00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:49.420


We all approach it differently because my show actually started similar to yours to where I would do the news every day, but I didn't have it as organized as you do clearly.00:51:49.420 --> 00:51:54.471


Cause you have different subjects for each different day, which helps you spread out the content, but also keeps it fresh00:51:54.786 --> 00:51:56.206


I don't want cannibalize it.00:51:56.306 --> 00:52:01.456


I literally, the first six months I had every single week during that week, what I was going to talk about.00:52:01.646 --> 00:52:03.456


So it didn't steal from another day.00:52:03.456 --> 00:52:11.326


Cause if I cover all of the event day one that cannibalizes, let's say like a Wednesday or Thursday, or like that cannibalizes a day of content.00:52:11.646 --> 00:52:14.235


it was more for the viewer or the listener experience.00:52:14.355 --> 00:52:24.179


So it didn't feel as repetitive now I think the TCG part I could tell you what deck is probably in every single topic Just because of how the TCG is like when you get this Morty formats, it gets this00:52:24.391 --> 00:52:26.711


eventually it gets solved and it's not much surprise00:52:26.831 --> 00:52:26.981


it.00:52:27.001 --> 00:52:28.061


Yeah, that's the word I was looking for.00:52:28.072 --> 00:52:31.141


It's gotten solved So so many people are like the topic decks around the same.00:52:31.431 --> 00:52:34.030


I like doing prices cause that's what really I got hired at.00:52:34.030 --> 00:52:37.070


My job for I'm really into the card stock market.00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:42.844


There are websites that do card stock markets that have a rolling of different cards that are going up hourly.00:52:43.103 --> 00:52:44.574


I love stuff like that.00:52:44.603 --> 00:52:45.884


I love different sets.00:52:45.914 --> 00:52:50.554


I love finding out why one card's going up over all the other card or one thing.00:52:50.563 --> 00:52:50.974


You know what I mean?00:52:51.014 --> 00:52:51.893


I love like00:52:52.219 --> 00:52:55.248


Do you ever try to implement that in the show or do you feel like it would turn off the00:52:55.429 --> 00:53:01.018


I do have some days usually the money parts, the people that hate the most, and then like the speculation part.00:53:01.326 --> 00:53:03.365


Right when the set comes out, I'm like, okay, is this overpriced?00:53:03.385 --> 00:53:04.115


Is this underpriced?00:53:04.324 --> 00:53:05.713


do I think this is going to go down?00:53:06.030 --> 00:53:10.115


I remember when base set Scarlet and Violet came out, we got.00:53:10.409 --> 00:53:13.025


Gardevoir-EX as like an alternate art.00:53:13.025 --> 00:53:15.726


It was 120 bucks, now it's sitting at$25.00:53:16.025 --> 00:53:23.195


it was just one of those things that like it can pre-order for a hundred, 150, go down to 15 to whatever dollars that.00:53:23.195 --> 00:53:31.210


It's the part of my job that like, so me as like one being one of the head buyers and doing everything in my job, I think of like, okay, can this card have potential?00:53:31.219 --> 00:53:32.679


Do I think this card's just trash?00:53:32.719 --> 00:53:34.250


Do I think this is a card someone's going to buy?00:53:34.739 --> 00:53:40.269


But for the show, it is like, I cover more of like, this card go up, may go up, you need to buy Right?00:53:40.269 --> 00:53:45.929


Like, this is one of those, if it's a dollar or two, I call it like the penny stocks of card games.00:53:46.309 --> 00:53:47.739


You can buy a couple dollar cards.00:53:47.739 --> 00:53:49.019


And if it goes up, like,00:53:49.423 --> 00:53:52.498


You're rich Well, not rich, but more wealthier.00:53:52.539 --> 00:53:52.668


That's00:53:52.670 --> 00:53:58.496


Card game, card game rich, like there's so many cards that I'm like, man, I wish I would have bought it 2 or whatever.00:53:58.606 --> 00:54:03.655


Oh man, there's a bunch of the cosmic eclipse and the tag teams now that I'm like, those were nothing.00:54:03.969 --> 00:54:05.992


it's the financial part of the game.00:54:05.992 --> 00:54:08.003


That's the yuck, big, yuck,.00:54:08.579 --> 00:54:12.628


Now there are some challenges to doing a podcast every day because you have to record every day.00:54:13.068 --> 00:54:17.318


My first question is how many times has your wife threatened to leave you since starting this podcast?00:54:17.449 --> 00:54:20.179


I'm sure she kind of misses you whenever you have to go down to record, right?00:54:20.684 --> 00:54:21.664


I hear no.00:54:21.675 --> 00:54:22.045


Okay.00:54:22.094 --> 00:54:24.275


So you've solved a problem here.00:54:24.275 --> 00:54:25.565


That's the early of Good Morning Johto.00:54:26.094 --> 00:54:26.815


She goes to bed.00:54:27.130 --> 00:54:27.701


She's in bed.00:54:28.371 --> 00:54:28.501


is,00:54:29.286 --> 00:54:30.016


Oh my gosh.00:54:30.351 --> 00:54:31.391


she, she's a teacher.00:54:31.391 --> 00:54:32.240


So she goes to bed.00:54:32.251 --> 00:54:35.527


And then like, as soon as like, she's in bed and like, sleeping, boom.00:54:35.527 --> 00:54:36.188


I go downstairs.00:54:36.197 --> 00:54:36.418


Whatever.00:54:36.663 --> 00:54:38.603


Is this podcast kind of secret that she doesn't know?00:54:38.632 --> 00:54:39.552


Well, she already knows about it.00:54:39.552 --> 00:54:39.753


I was going to00:54:40.697 --> 00:54:43.007


know, she's been in some shows now.00:54:43.007 --> 00:54:45.813


There's been some times like, on our, in, uh, What's our inner?00:54:45.813 --> 00:54:49.072


I got it as an anniversary gift, but we went to go see Jonas brothers.00:54:49.389 --> 00:54:51.139


Hey, we're going to get back really late.00:54:51.159 --> 00:54:56.130


And I pull out of my like backpack, I have microphones and headphones and recording equipment.00:54:56.599 --> 00:55:01.139


like, we recorded it while driving home from this concert.00:55:01.498 --> 00:55:02.438


Really?00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:03.858


record an episode on the way.00:55:04.179 --> 00:55:04.579


Yeah.00:55:04.900 --> 00:55:10.260


I've recorded Tik TOKs and I've edited shows in the hospital Cause for me, They have to get out.00:55:10.519 --> 00:55:23.349


They have to, I remember this was a tick tock or like I was editing the show at the time I had IV in my arm in the ER and I'm on my computer editing, getting stuff out there.00:55:23.655 --> 00:55:25.476


it was, I'm like, I don't care.00:55:25.835 --> 00:55:26.686


Like, um,00:55:26.818 --> 00:55:29.259


you've ridden from Goldenrod Tower to the Pokemon Center.00:55:29.565 --> 00:55:35.789


that's how what now there's something like when my vocal cords go out, I'm I can't do a but there's it's one show.00:55:35.789 --> 00:55:37.139


I really want to redo.00:55:37.463 --> 00:55:41.840


I recorded with the Round Table Chat(ot) guys, and I had such a high fever.00:55:42.170 --> 00:55:47.519


I don't know if I barely remember the show, but I remember doing the show with them and they were on my show.00:55:47.822 --> 00:55:49.672


And I was so sick.00:55:49.762 --> 00:55:51.452


I probably had like the flu or was it?00:55:51.722 --> 00:55:52.983


No, it was double pneumonia.00:55:53.043 --> 00:55:54.103


That's what it was is when I had double00:55:54.193 --> 00:55:55.373


double no, yeah, oh00:55:55.443 --> 00:55:59.143


I had double pneumonia and I still did their show.00:55:59.172 --> 00:56:00.443


I still had them on the show.00:56:00.750 --> 00:56:02.530


Cause I'm like, I have to do.00:56:03.934 --> 00:56:15.331


I have to in my mind, do the show, but yeah, like that, that was early on when I'm like, I have to sacrifice everything for, but when everybody just wants a healthy, not non dying, Interviewer, I guess.00:56:15.628 --> 00:56:17.494


but no, I've been on the way back.00:56:17.494 --> 00:56:21.527


we've seen people when we were in New York record at the hotel that's what I'm saying.00:56:21.527 --> 00:56:29.637


Those video people, I remember, I'm not going to say who, but they said they wish they could actually just play the game for real, that go Fest to them is just a job.00:56:29.931 --> 00:56:31.030


You're there for content.00:56:31.030 --> 00:56:35.581


they stay at a closer place so they could like record or edit faster.00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:37.721


I'm like, man, I just want to go to hang with the homies.00:56:38.061 --> 00:56:39.951


Eat falafels eat some pizza.00:56:40.021 --> 00:56:42.947


You know, I mean or what's the hot dogs called like dirty water or whatever.00:56:42.947 --> 00:56:43.527


I don't know.00:56:43.639 --> 00:56:46.755


I'm not from New York, don't look at me, I'm from the ha ha00:56:47.155 --> 00:56:52.244


that's I wanted to take in that to me was my vacation it was a pokemon go vacation.00:56:52.244 --> 00:56:53.275


It was what I wanted.00:56:53.570 --> 00:56:58.963


but yeah, no i've recorded My kids will come down sometimes and I'll sit on my lap and watch me record.00:56:58.963 --> 00:57:00.733


And I'm, I'll show them the different stuff.00:57:00.733 --> 00:57:03.829


And, cause they were too young when I was actually doing morning, morning radio show work.00:57:04.407 --> 00:57:06.907


You bring an interesting perspective because you've done radio.00:57:07.438 --> 00:57:14.168


podcasting is like the cousin of radio from your experience, what's the difference that you find doing podcasting and pay to radio.00:57:14.898 --> 00:57:19.224


So, man, I went to college for radio.00:57:19.583 --> 00:57:20.393


I don't know why.00:57:20.422 --> 00:57:27.583


And I don't know if it's like why I chose radio over like a video or like, um, a news or anything of like being behind the camera, being in front of the camera.00:57:27.905 --> 00:57:28.606


actually, I do know.00:57:28.626 --> 00:57:29.235


I lied.00:57:29.382 --> 00:57:33.842


We come from a time period that I think this new generation just didn't come from.00:57:34.402 --> 00:57:36.751


My alarm clock was a radio.00:57:36.996 --> 00:57:47.786


So if you remember, like the early two thousands, like when we had the actual digital clocks, you could have your alarm be either a sound, like a chime, or it could be the radio station.00:57:47.795 --> 00:57:49.135


You have your clock set to.00:57:49.452 --> 00:57:52.474


So I had mine set to like seven 30, every single day.00:57:52.797 --> 00:58:00.063


And the same radio had a interview with his wife or someone like they did the same repetitive thing, like kind of I do with my show that every day.00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:00.349


7.00:58:00.349 --> 00:58:01.518


30 was the same thing.00:58:01.929 --> 00:58:02.989


So I knew in my mind.00:58:02.989 --> 00:58:15.429


So every day I woke up to the show and when I got into radio, that's where I wanted to intern, that was the show that I ended up like, not just being on, like he became a great friend of mine and that was the show that I woke up to in grade school.00:58:15.731 --> 00:58:19.981


but then with radio going into actually, so it's the same with Bakers.00:58:20.293 --> 00:58:24.735


I know a lot of radio guys that hate, hate, hate morning shows.00:58:24.798 --> 00:58:25.878


Cause you have to get up at 2 a.00:58:25.878 --> 00:58:26.068


m.00:58:26.398 --> 00:58:26.809


2 a.00:58:26.809 --> 00:58:26.989


m.00:58:26.989 --> 00:58:33.695


is radio hours because your show usually starts at five, sometimes four, and then you go to about 10.00:58:34.009 --> 00:58:36.826


where a lot of the, your vets that I know.00:58:36.871 --> 00:58:38.891


Want to do evening shift, right?00:58:38.891 --> 00:58:50.527


Like you can go in at nine or 10, your shows from two to five, two to six, um, those are your big hours is your breakfast area, like your morning show and then your evening drive.00:58:50.858 --> 00:58:52.677


and then they said with the evening, then you can go to dinner.00:58:52.677 --> 00:58:55.797


You're like, you're not really missing anything too much from a two to five, two to six.00:58:56.123 --> 00:58:58.693


but I loved mornings cause I love being done at 10 AM.00:58:59.023 --> 00:59:02.643


I did hot dog eating contests, and donut eating contests, and man, it always comes back to food.00:59:03.333 --> 00:59:14.974


I, like, it was a joke show that I could write skits, I could do different characters, like, I think harder at least with podcasting, because at least podcasting, you know, like, I know I'm talking about Pokemon every day.00:59:15.288 --> 00:59:16.487


with morning show.00:59:16.487 --> 00:59:17.867


Unless it's a sports show, right?00:59:17.867 --> 00:59:23.068


Like, unless it's a, so you're trying to fit the genre of music that that age group would want to listen to.00:59:23.137 --> 00:59:23.447


Right.00:59:23.447 --> 00:59:31.001


So if I know the group that's listening to 60, seventies and eighties, you've got to kind of hit it to what news or jokes or what they would like to.00:59:31.001 --> 00:59:32.282


It's very interesting.00:59:32.612 --> 00:59:36.920


It's very interesting in that market of like what they want to listen, what they want to do too.00:59:37.221 --> 00:59:42.380


but yeah, and then with podcasting, you kind of like, you can make your groove a little better, but you can still be yourself.00:59:42.380 --> 00:59:42.920


Do the funny.00:59:42.940 --> 00:59:44.500


I know a guy, this is so funny.00:59:44.818 --> 01:00:01.068


he set up his own AM radio show for like a three mile radius so that when he goes on walks, it's his own radio show of his music that he can put out on AM radio so that when he's giving his dog walks, he can like bring a boom box or bring like BNS car and listen to what he wants to listen to.01:00:01.248 --> 01:00:02.398


I don't know why sounds awesome.01:00:03.005 --> 01:00:09.505


Well, that's the fun part about, you know, having a podcast audience is that usually the podcast audience caters their schedule around your show.01:00:09.797 --> 01:00:14.217


I listened to the podcast when I walk my dogs and that's the kind of the fun intimate part that you don't get with video.01:00:14.237 --> 01:00:17.027


Cause video, they kind of have to sit there and make time for it, I01:00:17.211 --> 01:00:23.092


Every Thursday, I listen to the same, this is the only day I'll tell you that I don't listen to Pokemon Go.01:00:23.512 --> 01:00:26.612


Every Thursday morning I'm excited to listen to a Dungeons and Dragons podcast.01:00:27.059 --> 01:00:31.480


is my palate cleanser, it is my different, and of course as people I know that used to be old radio hosts.01:00:31.929 --> 01:00:34.646


So they, do characters as like different funny voices.01:00:34.952 --> 01:00:41.666


But With a Pokemon Go show or a Pokemon show in general, Your audience can be anywhere from five to dead, right?01:00:41.666 --> 01:00:43.096


Like there is no age01:00:43.400 --> 01:00:44.851


If dead, drop me a like.01:00:46.530 --> 01:00:46.960


that like.01:00:48.050 --> 01:00:55.134


when I, for, so for 50s, we're looking from anywhere from 30 to maybe 50.01:00:55.193 --> 01:00:57.184


but each age group kind of changed that.01:00:57.184 --> 01:01:04.713


So like, uh, like with the ads and different things, but where with Pokemon just have such a wide array of people, that's what you can do a little differently too.01:01:05.315 --> 01:01:09.096


What's also interesting about your podcast is you've also branched off into a different product.01:01:09.096 --> 01:01:10.646


You started doing your own coffee.01:01:10.949 --> 01:01:12.108


How did you incorporate that?01:01:12.108 --> 01:01:14.239


And what made you want to do that with Good Morning Johto?01:01:14.324 --> 01:01:17.193


I wish I want to say I came up with the idea.01:01:17.193 --> 01:01:19.101


Of the Johto Java Blend Coffee.01:01:19.130 --> 01:01:20.601


Good morning, Johto Java Blend Coffee.01:01:20.907 --> 01:01:26.876


the card store I work at in Ohio, also is like a small coffee roaster that I had at the time a coffee shop.01:01:27.177 --> 01:01:28.317


Now we kind of combine them.01:01:28.717 --> 01:01:31.817


And I love coffee in its own little ray.01:01:32.143 --> 01:01:33.864


The owner has been a friend of mine for so long.01:01:33.873 --> 01:01:39.974


And one of my managers, his girlfriend was like, Hey, have you thought about making maybe let's say a Johto Java blend?01:01:40.423 --> 01:01:41.954


And I got so angry.01:01:42.284 --> 01:01:47.043


I got so incredibly angry cause I'm like, why didn't I think of that?01:01:47.054 --> 01:01:50.963


That is an incredible idea, right?01:01:50.974 --> 01:01:56.643


Like that is such a good idea that I wish I would've came up with it.01:01:56.960 --> 01:01:57.820


by the end of the night.01:01:57.849 --> 01:01:58.849


I was on the drawing board.01:01:58.849 --> 01:01:59.918


It took like four or five months.01:02:00.318 --> 01:02:01.759


We're like, how did I want it flavored?01:02:01.768 --> 01:02:05.059


How would we want to do this working with the guy that roasts it?01:02:05.378 --> 01:02:06.568


I give away a full bag.01:02:06.608 --> 01:02:09.298


We have a birthday club that I also stole from when I was in radio.01:02:09.568 --> 01:02:13.885


Every single day we did birthdays and I'm like, you know what, what if I do this with our shop?01:02:14.179 --> 01:02:16.818


cause I wanted more people to even just, I don't care if you buy it.01:02:17.048 --> 01:02:18.409


I'll just send you a bag of coffee.01:02:18.518 --> 01:02:19.699


I really don't care.01:02:20.028 --> 01:02:22.561


but you know what, that's what I'm again, I'm a morning show.01:02:22.865 --> 01:02:30.206


Every morning show I've ever went to, and this is not a joke has had every Monday through Friday, a different sponsor for the donut or the coffee of the day.01:02:30.505 --> 01:02:31.025


And like.01:02:31.025 --> 01:02:36.476


You get a array of different goods that I'm like, man, I need if I'm a morning show coffee.01:02:37.061 --> 01:02:41.222


One thing that's cool about your show is you had multiple guests, myself included on the show.01:02:41.637 --> 01:02:44.657


More recently, you've had a chance to have the voice of Roy.01:02:45.097 --> 01:02:48.327


What was it like to be able to interview Roy on the podcast?01:02:48.347 --> 01:02:51.757


Cause for those who don't know, they are the voice of Roy on the anime.01:02:52.353 --> 01:02:55.713


unli is one of the nicest human beings.01:02:56.018 --> 01:03:03.579


it came back to when I started with Pokemon Go, when I started, I wanted to get more TCG trainers and they would each give me like an hourly rate.01:03:03.670 --> 01:03:07.349


Like, Hey, if I'm going to be on your show, I need a hundred, 200, 300, whatever.01:03:08.449 --> 01:03:09.130


And I'm like, okay.01:03:09.148 --> 01:03:13.907


maybe one day, like not saying no, but I know, like, I agree that you need to be paid for your time, but one day let me get together.01:03:14.217 --> 01:03:18.106


And It was something that left a bad taste in my mouth was this December.01:03:18.405 --> 01:03:20.146


it was my, one year anniversary.01:03:20.496 --> 01:03:24.501


I had an interview set up with Sarah, not Ocheny, who did the voice of ash.01:03:24.840 --> 01:03:30.411


That was like the goodbye of ash that I had an interview set up in person at a convention to go interview them.01:03:30.630 --> 01:03:32.871


And then I got COVID right.01:03:33.101 --> 01:03:35.061


Like I'm talking two days before.01:03:35.362 --> 01:03:36.751


I had to interview her management team.01:03:36.751 --> 01:03:39.231


Cause I go through a management team and then her different HR team.01:03:39.231 --> 01:03:41.032


And then they're all over the different con stuff.01:03:41.347 --> 01:03:45.407


And they're like, well, we don't really like do it over zoomer because she's so busy.01:03:45.728 --> 01:03:48.737


but if we, ever come back to, they're like, maybe we come back next year.01:03:48.748 --> 01:03:50.833


And I'm like, okay, maybe my two year.01:03:50.833 --> 01:03:51.284


you know what I mean?01:03:51.403 --> 01:03:52.233


I just got bummed.01:03:52.804 --> 01:03:54.663


Cause I'm like, That would be a sweet year.01:03:54.663 --> 01:03:58.896


One anniversary guest would be the voice of Ash Ketchum.01:03:59.206 --> 01:04:03.025


I was literally like sitting around her and I I'm like, literally a month goes by or something.01:04:03.025 --> 01:04:07.503


I'm like, okay, well, if I couldn't get Ash, what if I get the next generation of people?01:04:07.503 --> 01:04:08.456


I'm like, okay.01:04:08.456 --> 01:04:12.706


And then literally it was me going through and I sent an email to all these people.01:04:13.014 --> 01:04:14.934


And, Anjali messaged back.01:04:14.934 --> 01:04:17.208


They messaged back like maybe less than 12 hours.01:04:17.748 --> 01:04:21.228


They were like, I don't care how, because I always start off like, Hey, I'm a smaller show.01:04:21.228 --> 01:04:22.608


I'm more Pokemon go.01:04:22.646 --> 01:04:25.465


and like to them, I put like, Hey, I know what horizons is coming out.01:04:25.780 --> 01:04:27.199


like, I'm not breaking into your NDA.01:04:27.199 --> 01:04:28.030


So I said, it's 10 minutes.01:04:28.030 --> 01:04:30.199


I knew I don't even care if we talk about this show.01:04:30.521 --> 01:04:34.271


I just want to know what Pokemon means to you and what you're excited about the show to promote.01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:36.760


And they were like, yep, I'm in like that.01:04:36.780 --> 01:04:38.681


We're and I'm like, what are you, are you sure?01:04:38.710 --> 01:04:40.360


Like, are you, you know what you're doing?01:04:40.371 --> 01:04:41.221


Like, oh yeah, yeah.01:04:41.891 --> 01:04:45.791


We talked for three or four hours and even like help me encourage me.01:04:45.791 --> 01:04:52.701


Like, so I've been doing some voice acting, some doing different things, like trying to do more into it because their story was so amazing.01:04:52.701 --> 01:04:57.706


And so encouraging Anjali didn't start until like 2021 into voice acting.01:04:57.989 --> 01:05:04.965


was in college for law school, picked up a microphone to do like different fiction podcasts and different acting and then by year 2023.01:05:05.610 --> 01:05:07.501


Boom was the head of the newest Pokemon show.01:05:07.900 --> 01:05:09.141


That's a crazy journey.01:05:09.161 --> 01:05:09.271


Oh01:05:09.380 --> 01:05:10.311


That's what I said.01:05:10.320 --> 01:05:14.923


I'm like, and so it was so inspiring that I'm like, well, I got some equipment.01:05:14.923 --> 01:05:15.893


I got some different stuff.01:05:16.206 --> 01:05:22.016


and I know it'd be a long journey or something that I can, talk more about, like, not in the future, like doing anime, doing show says.01:05:22.235 --> 01:05:23.505


It's never about the money.01:05:23.896 --> 01:05:27.835


Like if I could be a radio host on a Pokemon show, I'm good to die.01:05:27.856 --> 01:05:29.155


That will be, I am good.01:05:29.155 --> 01:05:29.735


That'll be it.01:05:29.746 --> 01:05:33.286


That is everything I would want is like to be in a show that I love.01:05:33.590 --> 01:05:34.630


and that was it for them.01:05:34.641 --> 01:05:36.951


Like that Roy and everything that came out with the show.01:05:37.360 --> 01:05:38.710


That was so, so perfect.01:05:38.951 --> 01:05:45.420


But the day that that episode were announced and I like playing for a month and a half was the day we started the Horizons event in GO.01:05:45.731 --> 01:05:48.030


And I'm like, perfect, perfect.01:05:48.041 --> 01:05:51.820


Didn't even plan it up this way that Roy was a snapshot within the game.01:05:52.420 --> 01:05:53.900


Well, Lane, that is a show.01:05:54.199 --> 01:05:55.750
