What is real? How do we determine what in our life is real vs not? We can never know using our senses, which is why we must build a simulation to determine the answer! We've gathered a panel of the brightest minds we could find, the best technical executives, and a gaggle of hedge fund managers to pay for it all. We'll leave the boys in the lab to cook up what will of course be a world changing invention. But hedge fund managers can only bring us so far so if you want to get in on the ground floor of this exciting opportunity. So open your wallets and find out if you're real or not! Giovanni goes for a drive. Ayla breaks ground. David puts things under glass. Greg does a callback. There's still time to leave us a rating or a review on your podcatcher of choice if you'd like.

"Comedy series about a tight-knit group of friends living in Manhattan. It also covers their interactions with their families, their lovers, and various colleagues over a period of several years."

Thankfully, none of us live in Manhattan anymore so we definitely don't live in that particular simulation, but what about New Girl ...

You can tell if a podcast is in a good mood by the amount of odd references, callbacks to previous bits, and mediocre segues it makes. If I'm understanding them right, this podcast is refering to "Wildlife" but is looking at a screen rather than the wilderness around them. Hopefully that means they'll be- oh they've seen us.

Which to be clear, is media that features vampires, not media that siphons something off of someone else. But maybe all media is vampiric because it pulls a lot of energy out of the people who make it and we as people who take it in are consumers. Really makes you think.

Just kidding, this isn't an episode about Hrunting, the sword gifted from Unferth and used in battle against Grendel's Dam. It's about Hunting - something these four nerds are definitely qualified to discuss. In this episode: David lands a ten-pointer (that's a hunting thing? right? numbers and points?). Tess gets addicted to roleplaying in Pokémon. Greg doesn't talk about a card game (well, only technically). Giovanni unleashes his darkest wrath with a plastic shotgun. Hey listen, if you like the Hunting episode you can support all our other sports goals by going to patreon.com/LTRT.

Hey everyone - you're amazing! Because of your generosity, the Annual LTRT 24-Hour Charity Stream raised over $6,400.00 for The Florence Project! That's more than we raised in the last three years combined! We are absolutely, absurdly grateful to everyone who donated and everyone who came by to support us. But, the fundraising isn't quite done yet! Everyone who signs up to our Patreon in February will have their donation forwarded to The Florence Project! If you've got a buck or two to spare and want to help support the show you can do that over at patreon.com/LTRT . Every bit helps! Listeners - this topic is "Cow." We don't know how to lead into this one. We don't know how to be quippy or clever. Our good friend Tom Zalatnai came to us with this topic and you know, we agreed to it and now it's here. So. This is Cow. All we'll say is that much like a cow, this episode is a wild ride from front to back. You can find all of Tom's shows over at the Upford Network - that's upfordnetwork.com . Make sure to check out their shows - you might hear a couple familiar voices on some of them. In this episode: Greg wonders if there's a form of carcinization but for cows.

But don't worry - "Craft" is the topic, but we still manage to spend almost 10 minutes talking about the 2006 film The Departed . You know, just like a videogame podcast would do.

Our commitment to Double-O August can lead to some interesting discussions. Even our our yearly Father's Day episodes, which are always off the rails, are at least a fun ride. But none of these episodes compare to the response we received when we covered two very particular topics: "Fruit" and "Egg." Listeners, we have something special for you right now. Presenting the third episode in what we're now calling "The Round Things Saga: Bowl." We hope you enjoy - this is an episode that has, as we like to say around here, "big 'Fruit' energy."

Attention!! we've put together a playlist of the music mentioned in this episode! You can listen along by clicking the link down in our show notes! Folks - we're overwhelmed to introduce our very special 100th episode! Almost four years ago we got on a discord call and hashed out what this show would look like. After a couple trial runs we landed on the structure that's carried us through the last 100 episodes. Almost as soon as we released our first episode we got a request to cover Music as a topic. In fact, Music came up every time we asked for topic suggestions. It's by far our most requested topic and we wanted to make sure we did it justice. This is an extra long episode with a ton of commentary from our friends and colleagues who've supported and inspired us over the years. This show wouldn't be what it is without their support, and this show wouldn't exist at all without you, our listeners. Thank you all for 100 episodes! Here's to 100 more!

Important note - Giovanni, Dave, and Greg are all in a band called Duckspeak that just released their latest album, Death To All Kings. You can check it out on any streaming service or purchase it from their bandcamp ( duckspeak.bandcamp.com ). Thanks for listening! The videogame industry is undergoing a lot of turmoil these days. Toxic executives are being ousted. Studios that stated they intended to avoid crunch are forcing their staff to work 6 day weeks. Publishers continue to buy, sell, and gut studios as they wish. It's a wild time, so we thought we'd take this episode to get a little serious and cover some important and timely issues in the industry. Instead, we argued about sandwiches for 12 minutes.
