0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN
0:33 Welcome to the castle super slow news cast~! Yup. It's a slow news week. Definitely. Absolutely NO NEWS happened this week. NOTHING. AT. ALL.
- 1:06 Before going off into the realm of hiphop, here's a heads up: our podcasts hosts are pat, a short, ginger bald white man, and woolie, a tall, dreads wearing, black man.
- 1:55 so where do we start with this beef? To pimp a butterfly? Or good kid, m.A.A.d city? DAMN?
- 4:47 so, they are currently talking about the kendrick Lamar vs. drake beef. Pat picking up on it through scrolling through tiktok and seeing a verse from euphoria. Pat feeling the real hatred. Other beefs over the year.
- - 7:07 eminem vs. machine gun kelly.
- - 8:03 kendrick vs. drake is like… drake and kendrick having beef.
- 8:33 Pat’s mental image of drake: sitting in a wheelchair on degrassi. And woolie’s being his head on the wheelchair handicap sign.
- 9:28 the level this beef has gotten to has reached mainstream culture. Usually someone’s dead by this point. A security guard did get shot.
- 11:15 so how did we reach this point? 13 years in the making. Starting at control. Drake taking words for competition personally.
- 13:52 hitting a boiling point with first person shooter.
- 15:56 like that. There’s just big me. And J. cole going “yeah going against kedrick was the most embarrassing thing I’ve done.” Backing off because he saw it all coming.
- 19:37 drake hitting with push-ups. His disses being ‘you’re short and dont make enough money.’ pat on why this is so funny to him: disproportionate retaliation.
- - 20:58 the definition of club and walmart music with drake. Taylor swift and sounding the exact same, the spiritual avatar of the white woman. Picking apart lyrics.
- - 23:31 woolie does not like drake's voice. Behold, the toronto accent.
- - 26:34 Drake as an outsider.
- - 27:46 as for kendrick, the hardest dude with some real as shit lyrics.
- 29:43 taylor made freestyle with the AI voices of tupac and snoop by drake. The line of drop and give me 50.
- 31:57 euphoria, kedrick’s reply. Introducing the concept of Hate. kendrick saying drake is not black, his N-pass is fake.
- - 34:31 he is an actor
- 35:55 pat going back to listen to these albums. Pat would rather listen to euphoria 10 times than push ups. Drake and his inferiority complex.
- 37:19 the track is named euphoria. You know, there’s also a show about kids in high school that drake is an executive producer on…
- 38:11 616 in LA. You have no friends, everyone hates you.
- 39:24 Drake’s family matters. Making a full music video. That one restaurant is making bank.
- - 40:49 the tractor crushing a van, putting more effort into the flow.
- 42:30 half an hour later, kendrick drops an orbital strike with meet the grahams. Pat getting 8 seconds in before having to pause it. Addressing drakes estranged son and being genuine to the man’s family.
- - 46:53 getting to verse 2, talking to drakes mom and dad. Your son should just die, you know?
- - 48:04 verse 3: dear unknown secret child
- - 49:31 verse 4: a message straight to drake. And the picture being from inside drake’s house, his whole deal being fake.
- - 51:09 the core of ‘all your friends hate you.’
- - 52:33 taking the entire high level effort from drake and deflates it.
- - 53:38 getting in an uber and hearing it play.
- 54:23 Remember that shot of misato’s corpse getting bombed? That’s Not like us. The sex offender registry pins on drake’s house.
- - 56:29 setting it up over time before dropping the bomb. There is no more subtlety. Drake the pedo.
- - 58:31 the most entertaining thing that is also the meanest thing pat has ever heard. This song being played in a club.
- 59:39 what is there to do at this point? kendrick being a general calling down strikes.
- 1:01:12 Woolie is sure there is more in the wings. He’s got 7 more tracks.
- 1:02:51 paige knows music. A minor is a chord with no black keys.
- 1:04:52 the prelude before drakes response: the video of drake with his ghost writers. Just going ‘im not a pedophile’
- - 1:06:18 go down swinging. And the heart part 6 being taken.
- - 1:07:10 what if kendrick dropped the next album and still used that title?
- - 1:08:10 pats favorite part: why did you predict people would call you a pedo?
- - 1:09:31 the replies are the weakest here. Look at all these receipts on twitter.
- - 1:11:45 this is not about the battle, this is a man fighting to keep his empire from collapsing. You have to remember: drake is famous. If he WAS touching kids, he’d get caught, right????? The song itself not making sense.
- - 1:13:50 the worst defense: the only reason you hate pedos is because you got molested. Except that never happened to him, but to his mother, so drake didn't listen to the whole song.
- 1:16:45 kendrick looks real tired. Possibly just staying up writing.
- - 1:18:09 pat got told kendrick will be featured on an SF6 showcase. Turns out not real?
- 1:19:18 so what much can you do aside from save further volleys for a rainy day? Does anyone else have anything to say? Make some diss tracks to the BBL jersey beat.
- 1:21:31 the track that ended drake will be the one in clubs now. Not drake’s songs. What if he just compiles them in an album? Would it get put up for a grammy?
- 1:22:43 so gotta start with to pimp a butterfly. And the level of ego on display. The winner is j. Cole.
- 1:24:22 does this go to court? Your honor, make him stop please.
WEEK OF THE BEAST LORDS
WOOLIE
1:25:54 what is that woolie? He went to buc-ees. Also got more tattoos. Getting a leg tat.
- 1:30:27 artist put in some white for contrast.
- 1:31:15 getting an uber with an overly kind lady. And then blows right through a red light. “I thought it was a stop sign.”
- - 1:34:44 the last time they got a ride and the driver nodding off.
- - 1:36:21 uber going ‘we got a report of you doing drugs’ as retaliation.
- - 1:39:16 pat on the solution: get your License. And the packet on the rules of driving.
- - 1:41:28 people like that getting ahead. Next time not even telling the person
- 1:43:08 so, in texas… seeing a REAL cybertruck. Going to a golf driving range.
- - 1:44:36 Woolie took golf in college. Hitting golf balls in the gym.
- - 1:46:17 feels real nice to hit a ball really hard.
- 1:49:34 cidercade. Cider and an arcade.
- - 1:50:00 played a board game. Monster voice.
- 1:52:34 checking out the truck yard.
- 1:54:03 going to austin for cinco de mayo weekend.
- 1:55:05 the religious experience of buc-ees. The Consoomer experience.
- - 1:56:55 everything they sell is branded buc-ees.
- - 1:58:30 woolie pulling out his buc-ees stuff
- - 2:00:00 it's ALL world famous. World famous BATHROOMS.
- - 2:01:44 woolie gets it now.
- - 2:02:16 the hiring sign is amazing. Actually listing positions and pay right there.

2:11:08 SPONSOR: EXPRESS VPN
2:13:48 SPONSOR 2: RAYCON
PAT
2:15:43 baby update. Baby genius. Sitting up by himself. Using baby sign language.
- 2:17:33 a minor kerfuffle on the baby’s development for the past month. Milestones for baby development. Weeks vs. months start falling apart, telling them hes a month older than he should be. He’s ahead of the curve.
- 2:21:35 how does one teach baby signing?
- 2:23:55 on teaching how to be gentle using the dog and the cat.
- 2:25:17 not wanting an ipad child. Ignoring the phones and screens. On attention spans.
- 2:29:58 how do you come down from that sort of need for stimulation?
- 2:31:46 what happens if you dont have an answer for giving a child more stimulation? Give ‘em keys.
- 2:32:40 being scared of someone that didn’t have it but then developed it from all this stimulus.
- 2:34:54 woolie on the flow state. And susceptibility to different environmental stimuli.
- 2:37:36 baby is a genius and big. He’s big for pat’s family.
- 2:38:55 pat saying paige, paige hearing it as bitch. She has been hearing it as such for a while.
- - 2:40:50 this kind of softens the blow of when you do call her bitch now.
- 2:41:35 child understands words. Meaning no curse words. Hopefully.
- 2:43:22 pat does occasionally call paige a bitch
- 2:44:05 pat’s mental trick to not swear around the baby: turning it into a competition.
- 2:45:40 Pat’s mother in law is coming.
- 2:47:04 pat has planned for when he starts learning curses. Playing it clueless.
2:49:43 pat played Hades II. its early access. Its already bigger than hades 1 as it currently exists.
- 2:53:12 you can actually get to the final boss. You can see where stuff is missing.
- 2:55:47 its great. Feels like a version .9.
- 2:56:21 pat’s one complaint: weapons don't feel quite as good as zag’s. There's lots of interesting stuff.
- 2:57:48 the game has a lot more story per run. And a method to make you see all the stuff by putting a stacking debuff on you so you HAVE to see it now, because the run is over from those.
- 2:59:00 woolie on going back to hades. And on the huge number of improvements. Lots of side content., but you can only do one bit of side content per run.
- 3:01:35 what does go up do?!
- 3:02:13 pat expects zagreus is in the game somewhere.
3:03:10 pat played stellar blade. Nier automata with worse story but better gameplay. The story is terrible, but it's like sekiro. Music is great.
- 3:05:50 is the drone serving the same function? Seems so.
3:06:56 go check out pat over at patstaresat! He’ll be playing more FFVII rebirth. And the white spot restaurant.
- 3:08:16 B.C. has fairies. The white spot is the food of choice for your boat ride. And the most crucial bit: is it a white spot?! No, it was pretty diverse.
- 3:11:16 white spot means EXACTLY what it sounds like it means. Although the food was good and cheap.
- - 3:13:00 a great venue to begin his kendrick lamar journey.
3:13:50 before going to the news proper, x-men’s latest episode being named tolerance is extinction is an amazing episode title. And the writer of episode 5 knew someone that was in the pulse nightclub
NEWS
3:15:50 everyone enjoying helldiving? So sony forced helldivers 2 to require a PSN account, meaning a LOT of countries could no longer play the game. Remember when Pat didnt want to skip that PSN account message?
- 3:19:15 this would just be annoying normally. But buying it and then getting told you cant play it is insanity.
- 3:20:03 steam started to allow refunds for the game.
- 3:21:39 the emotion of ‘we’re all in this together’ that no longer holds. And partners vs. acquisitions.
- 3:24:31 “pat, don't blame the wrong people.” pat on not owing anyone.
- 3:26:55 it got reversed over 3 days, but the changes havent happened yet. And turning the negative reviews into a cape.
- 3:29:25 sony going in on live service, and here’s helldivers… and they’re trying to ruin it. Why not just sign up for PSN and get a cape?
- 3:30:51 we need those golden eggs RIGHT NOW.
3:31:45 so how are those other video game companies doing? Switch 2 news is coming later in the year. Woolie is still buc’d up.
- 3:33:36 nintendo has made a crazy amount of money. Its made more money than the entire history of the company combined.
3:34:07 hi fi rush is dead. Microsoft announced tango gameworks, arkane austin, alphadog games, and roundhouse studios are dead. The mass firing done by people that dont even know the names of the games.
- 3:36:10 sending hi fi rush out to die.
- 3:38:26 arkane austin is even more tragic. They did not want to make redfall. They were forced into making it. And now they’re being killed for it.
- 3:41:00 Remember phantom dust? Dont get bought by microsoft. And the offer you cant refuse to keep the lights on. Microsoft has shut down more studios than shipped games.
- 3:43:28 obsidian has 18 months to live. Pat on why these companies are dying: the purchase was expensive. And buying bethesda was expensive.
3:44:31 Todd Howard on why Starfield was so divisive: it was too different from what they were doing in the past.
- 3:47:03 pat knows a couple of people at bethesda. They are freaked out by this. One bomb away from losing their jobs.
- 3:48:36 an industry of failure, where the one who fails the least succeeds.
- 3:50:50 a different angle on the microsoft layoffs: this hurts phil as much all the people he let go - guy who says you should tip game companies.
- 3:52:18 pat feels its heading toward a crash in the coming years for western AAA
- 3:53:16 microsoft has never known what they were doing ever. The patent for motion controls.
- 3:54:34 the possible silver lining of AAA getting irreparable damaged. Pat could see them just focusing on call of duty.
- 3:56:09 woolie hopes the guys that made hi fi rush will find a good place to work. Why even bother closing them down…?
3:57:56 dont let infiltration, known woman beater, come back to fighting games.
3:58:29 time to try and fix infinite. Adding cell shading and artstyle changes to marvel vs. capcom infinite through mods.
4:02:13 akuma news. News on the balance patch. Every level 2 while active will no longer allow to build meter. And drive reversal has been drastically changed.
4:05:23 2xko footage. However there’s also vanguard, the kernel level anti-cheat, to worry about… given its bricking PCs.
- 4:09:46 not playing league is a positive thing!
EMAILS
4:10:49 send in your emails to castlesuperbeastmail@gmail.com! Pat asks whats up with the kufi edits.
4:13:11 what are some great examples of the intended version being worse than the compromised version?
4:19:55 pats waiting for news from universal media group to see what they’ll do about the beef between kendrick and drake.
- 4:22:53 the opinion on ghostwriters.
