Original subtitles

We might look like a happy family, but it was not always like this.

My husband and my stepson kept fighting over college until I

found a solution.

College isn't willing to offer me enough to play sports and for, like I get it, I

get a scholarship, but here's the thing.

Offering you enough to play sports?

You're going to my alma mater. You made the team. You're getting a scholarship.

Back in my day, all we played was for that fucking jacket.

This jacket's fucking stupid.

The jacket's stupid.

You don't take any pride in your ability.

Back in your day, things were cheaper. Things were more affordable.

You could have a little more freedom.

But now, if I go to college,

I don't know why you're raising your voice to me.

Because you're my son and you're throwing your life away.

You have an opportunity to go to college and you're telling me you're not going

to go? Get me out because you don't understand how this works.

You're the worst stepson imaginable. You are not even going to follow in my

footsteps. Don't worry, sweetheart. You're a great stepson.

He's just a little upset right now. Just let him calm down.

You are the best stepmom in the world.

Talk about the scholarship, right? What happens if I get injured?

Major injury, can't go to the NFL, can't play pro sports.

Then you fall back on your education.

Yeah, and then wait for my job to get taken by AI. Do you hear how stupid you

fucking sound?

Stupid I sound? You're talking about this AI, A1? What is that? Some sort of

steak sauce?

This is exactly.

What are you talking about? This just shows that your college education taught

you nothing.

Taught me nothing! It put a roof over your head! You don't know what the

fucking AI is!

It put a roof over your head! Yeah, it put a roof over my head. Oh my god, my

house's fucking stepdad doesn't know what AI is.

Again, like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about?

See, this is what I mean.

You're so stupid that you don't know what AI is.

And you say you want me to get a college education?

Stupid, huh?

Yeah.

Sweetheart. Here, boy, you don't want this smoke. Alright?

Yes.

Don't want this smoke.

That's fine. I can make more money playing video games, so why the fuck

would I waste my time in college? You can talk with him.

Jesus.

God.

Ridiculous.

I like it, you boys, to communicate, to talk, and not yell at each other.

We are a family.

She is pretty good at calming us down.

Yes.

I suppose I can relax a little more, but I

really need you to hear me out.

Go ahead.

Just breathe, relax, talk to me.

AI has been taking jobs for the last...

Five years. So anybody that goes to college, you spend what? 80 to 160 grand

to go to college for four years.

And then that degree you find out is absolutely useless.

Especially the business degree that you want me to do. Because that's being

taken over by AI.

You keep talking about this AI thing. I still don't know what you're talking

about. Artificial intelligence.

So basically the computer is taking our job. So something that's not real is

taking your job. You need to start applying yourself a little bit more. But

right now I just want to... I just need to breathe.

It's not something that's not real.

You know when we order food? You remember that robot that's delivered us

food before?

Yeah. That's part of the intelligence, right? Those robots are using...

Some form of AI.

I don't think it's just moving too fast right now.

I just don't get it.

Like, that's the job I could be doing right now. Meanwhile, if I could do the

video game route, which is what I want to do, I can make millions.

I would like my stepson to have some pride in what he does.

Pride? Yeah.

There's nothing... There is more than enough pride.

and being in the video game industry, I can go to these giant conventions, these

giant competitions, and go all over the world and travel.

What's the business degree? What pride is that going to do for me? Because,

again, it's just going to get taken over by a computer.

You're not... I can't explain to you.

It's just how we were raised and...

It's just, it's not real. You say to yourself, it's artificial.

It's not real.

I don't get that.

And I'm having a hard time with it. It's a robot with the mind of a human,

basically.

So they can do everything that we can do, only better, because they're robots.

So there's less time off.

They don't have to take time off because they are a machine.

Right? Whereas me and you and everybody else,

we have to have days off. We get sick.

Robots don't get sick.

So obviously, that's why they're going towards artificial intelligence. Yes,

but there's always need for, you know, the human component, darling. So

education, it's still a good thing for you to have something to fall back on.

Listen, Charlie.

Yes.

So confused with all this AI stuff.

All right. It's a lot of nerd talk and dorky shit that I don't understand.

Nor do I really care to. That's for sure. But it seems to be something that

you're interested with your video games and all that playful nonsense stuff

that's going on now.

So, I mean, I'm calm now.

Why don't we sit down?

talk about possibly you know this ai stuff you're talking about a1 whatever

it is develop and manufacture those machines that you're talking about that

delivered our food the other day right i mean yeah so that

might be something you can look into yes i mean yeah it is it is very similar to

video games let's be kind of cool i guess i guess like but what if your alma

mater doesn't offer that and I guess it's another discussion. There's lots of

school out there, sweetheart.

We can look into it. Come on, let's sit down like a nice family that we are and

see how you boys calm down.

I'm very, very proud to see that you were able to calm down and discuss this

like adults.

Yeah? So let's give thanks.

to the brick family that we have and uh let me go get ready for dinner and you

know i'll make you boys a nice delicious dinner that you both love thank you okay

baby all right that sounds good thank you

you little bastard you're supposed to be in here studying

what are you doing This again?

What are you doing? Your grades aren't getting better by doing that bullshit. I

was checking out the video games I was gonna buy. What video games?

You're paying for it, right? I'm not buying that shit for you.

I mean... Honey.

This is absolutely fucking ridiculous.

I've made some money. What do you want? You've made some money. Doing what?

You don't have a fucking job. Playing video games like I told you.

Yeah, it's a great job.

You got a great future ahead of you, boy.

Alright, we received a letter from your school. Your grades are fucking

horrible. What are you going to do about that? You're supposed to be here fucking

studying. I told you, I don't... You don't, you don't, you don't, you don't

study. That's what you don't do.

You know what?

What? Why don't you tell me what?

I have already told you, just like we talked about yesterday.

Like we talked about yesterday. We had an agreement that you were going to

start moving forward towards a goal in life. Something you'd be proud of.

Yeah, well, I'm looking into that and it's not looking too bright.

Yeah. So the video game route seems to be making a lot brighter.

Yeah. Yeah. Video games. Video games. Yeah. That's looking bright. I mean, I

made over 800 bucks in three days playing video games.

$800 in just over three days. Yeah. Playing video games. Yeah.

How the fuck do you make $800 playing video games?

What kind of video games are these? Like I told you, it's literally...

What? How things are working nowadays.

Yeah, how things are working these days. Yeah. Playing video games, you're making

money. What kind of video games are these?

All kinds.

It really just depends on what the fans want, depends on what they ask for. Oh,

what the fans want and what they ask for. Those type of video games.

Yeah.

Why don't you elaborate a little bit more on this type of video game that

you're talking about?

There's first person.

First person. First person video games.

Anime video games.

Anime video games.

What the fuck is an anime video game?

See, this is the problem. You keep talking about this college thing.

But yeah, you don't know what anime is. You don't know what AI is.

That's enough of that AI A1 bullshit.

It's AI.

Get it right.

Yeah, and I don't understand why you want me to go to college when I've

already explained to you it's going to be for nothing.

I mean, I've already made money playing video games.

That's actually a pretty good amount of money you made. I don't understand how

it works, but you made a good amount of money.

Yes, yes, you have.

Ah, fuck.

Yeah, we talked about this yesterday.

Alright, so...

But, I mean, if you have some insight on a college that offers the

AI programs to where I can help build said AI, then, you know, we could look

at that potentially.

I mean, but I looked.

I couldn't find anything.

And so I'm like, okay, I'm going to go back to making money the way that I was.

So if you and mom want to do research.

How about this?

Spend a couple hours a day making your money.

Spend a couple hours a day doing what you do making money.

The other couple hours a day that apparently you're not studying.

So start working towards a goal of what we talked about earlier.

Like manufacturing these robots or the technology for the AI.

That's reasonable.

Does that sound fair? Because you're living under my roof.

I follow my laws.

I'm in charge.

I think that is right.

And I am being more than fair about this.

Yes, I agree.

You need to compromise, baby boy.

You're still making your money. You're still playing your video games.

But you're setting up a future for yourself. Something that you can be

proud of.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah.

All right.

I guess that's a fair compromise.

Um, but I need your help trying to find some

colleges that offer what I'm looking for. And if not your help, um, then,

then mom's help, or, you know, if you guys, if you have some connections in,

in that.

Because like you said, you made it big with your business thing. And I feel

like you have some connections that may be experiencing with AI right now. I

still do have really good connections at the school.

So I'll reach out for them later on.

And I think this is a pretty good compromise.

Like I said, you're playing your games.

You're still making your money.

But you're going to be setting up something for the future.

Look at that. Look at my boys talking normally.

Yeah. I think this was very positive.

Productive. Yeah.

I think so. Yes. We can work things out by communication.

Yeah. Talking.

As a family.

So?

So proud of you boys.

Make mommy so proud.

So, like I said, I'll look into... I'll make some phone calls.

I'll look into some friends.

See what they can do for the school.

I'll continue doing the video games. I'll study a little more.

Try to work on my grades.

I don't want to get another letter from the school.

Yeah.

Okay.

I think we reached a compromise.

Wouldn't you say, boys?

Yeah, I think we did. We did alright.

Yeah.

You make mommy so happy.

That's my boys.

You know, I also do think I could show you the video games, too.

Because I could help you to make maybe some more money, or if you get

interested in it.

Okay. But I think we have a good compromise.

You know, you just do your thing.

I'm going to go make some phone calls. I've got shit to do in the garage

anyway. So this is very productive.

It's the first thing we've...

First pop-up that we've had in a long time. Yeah.

We come to an agreement, I feel like.

Yeah. I got some stuff I got to do, too. I appreciate it.

Good talking to you.

Okay. Oh, wow.

I'm so glad those boys started talking.

Yes. I think I've done my job.

Now we can be... Just keep watching the stream, guys. Did you guys see that?

Yeah.

I was talking to my viewers.

Oh, your viewers.

What do you mean by that?

Well, we talked about this. So, like, how's it going? Have you made any

progress? Listen, I really think you should just sit down and let me show you

how I make money playing video games.

I'll make progress on the stuff.

Let me just show you how I make video games.

So, okay, so you see, right? So I have viewers, right? So if they see what I'm

doing and they like it or they see something cool that they're not used to,

then they'll tip.

They'll tip? Yeah, they'll tip. It's a live stream.

So they send you money, sweetheart?

Yeah, yes, they send me money. Okay. To watch you play video games.

Yes, I know it's very hard for you to believe but that is what happens Wow

Like I just beat this boss right here so because I beat this boss

I just I just got a tip of Couple thousand

tokens so like 150 bucks How do you

you

Where do people find this shit?

There's platforms that people can join to find them.

Okay. Wow, these days.

And then a lot of them, I'm teaching them tricks. The reason why they tip me

for beating that boss is because I showed them the method to beat the boss.

Okay, so this is like that boxing game that I grew up on.

It's similar to that, yeah. I mean, this one's a little more violent and

involves, you know, some different fantasy

weapons, essentially.

Alright, so I remember there were like different buttons you hit that were like

different passcodes to give you like advantages over...

the, the, the boss, the, the next level character or whatever that you had to

beat in order to move on.

Yeah. There's, I don't want to say cascos. Yeah. You get paid for this. I

mean, it's, it's more combos now.

Um, look at that. I just gained 15 more viewers and I just got, uh, what was it?

20 follows, 20 more followers. Okay.

So the, the, the other thing is the more people that follow you, the bigger your

platform becomes.

And that means,

When you go live, it gets announced to all of your followers.

We used to call that a pyramid scheme back in the day, but okay.

So I just saw something go off in the top left corner. I saw

coins pop up. What does that mean?

That's somebody tipping me.

You just got tipped again?

Mm-hmm.

How much? Like, how much is a coin? I saw it was like 20,000 coins.

Uh, so that is equivalent to $200.

You... So you just made $350 in the last three minutes while we were sitting

here. That's correct.

Playing video games. Uh-huh.

Of people watching you play video games.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, granted, it's not like it's not going to happen every...

Every three to five minutes.

It's not like that. Like sometimes I'll play for, and I'll get, I'll get tipped

like a dollar here, five bucks here.

Um, the big tips are when you play the big bosses and you, you, you know,

people like watching you beat them and then they learn methods on how to do it.

Interesting. So, um,

so

I mean, you're playing games, what, seven, eight hours a day, at least, that

I know of?

Yeah, it's around seven or eight hours a day, yeah.

And you can make some serious money. Where have I been?

Yeah, that's, I mean, that's kind of my thought process. I mean, I was wondering

the same thing. I mean, it's very lucrative.

This is... Yeah.

I mean, the people are going to pay you to literally just watch you play video

games. I still don't want this to be your full-time thing. I still want you

to concentrate on actually doing something else as well.

I mean, I told you I'd work on the list. I got you. I'll make sure to work on the

list that you asked for.

As long, again, you're making money.

I'm glad you're making money doing something that you want to do.

But, yeah, just understand that you need to do what we talked about.

All right. Tell you what, I have a better compromise than the one we came

up with yesterday and the day before.

How about I teach you how to make money playing video games. You start playing

some games. I'll tell my followers that my stepdad is

playing the game.

They can give you the... They can give you the,

you know, whatever money you make from that, you can keep and you can really

experience why I enjoy this.

I mean, that sounds good.

Yeah, I think it sounds like a great idea.

Your followers would follow me just because you told them to.

They would tip you because I told them to.

We would have to create you...

an account on one of those platforms for them to follow you because you don't

have an account right now.

Right. But we could create an account.

I just had a couple of them in the chat say that they'd be 100% down to follow

you.

Okay, so they can give you money, which you see, see who's following you, and

you can actually communicate with them.

I mean, they can communicate in the chat and then they can hear my... Well,

they can see my response if I type a response in the chat.

Okay.

Interesting. Or if they hear me... If they can hear me in the mic when I speak

to the mic and to the controller.

Okay. There's a... Jesus.

All right.

Yeah, this is...

This might be a fun family activity.

Yeah.

It's a great way for you boys to bond and get to know each other's lives. And

make some extra money, you know.

Yeah. You can learn something from your stepson, babe.

That air conditioner's about to go out. We can definitely use some extra cash.

All right. Yeah, that sounds good.

So is this another level or yeah, there's multiple levels to the to the

game Okay,

I Kind of see what's going on over there now

Oh, get that.

Get that.

See, there you go. Nice. Okay.

I kind of see what's going on now. Yeah.

Good call.

Cool.

Didn't you just get another 20 followers or viewers, babe?

Yeah, I just gained some more viewers.

And obviously, the more viewers you have, the more possible money that can

come in.

Correct. See, now you're getting... So that college did seem to work. Well,

this is more real world experience, I guess.

Wow, this is definitely... Oh, yes.

Okay.

So... There's a lot of different characters on that screen.

Like, is that each one of those?

Like, uh...

An actual live player like you?

Or... I don't... No.

Those are just... I don't know.

Parts of the story. Parts of the game.

Okay, so are you the only one that's actually... Yes, and this is... It's not

an open world.

There's not other players. There's nobody else online.

I mean, everybody has their own experience in the game, but you don't,

you can't.

Open world. That's like where it's open to other players. Yeah. Open world is,

is more something that's open to, to other players. I mean, it's also like an

open world where you, you don't have like an objective. You just roam. So

it's not like that. No.

Okay.

Interesting.

Okay, I Mean this could be a pretty interesting new hobby for me and I

could be profitable I guess I think so

Who would have thought a video game could make some money playing?

I know.

We're not too old to learn.

We can still learn, right babe? Especially how to make money.

I always try to make some extra money.

Maybe take a little bit more comfortable.

Here, why don't you have a go at it? I don't know what the buttons are.

There's four.

You just need to focus on the four buttons on the game.

Chat will give you tips. All you gotta do is listen to the chat.

They'll give you some tips.

They'll give you some pointers.

They like that we're teaching you some new... We're teaching you how to play.

Cool.

So like these are like, oh, that's cool. It's like triggers.

Yeah. Interesting.

Yeah, it's a lot easier than those old joysticks that we had. Remember one of

those? Remember those two here? Yeah. The old joystick.

It was like a little platform with one stick.

And the graphic was terrible back then.

I remember like you had the more expensive one. It had two buttons.

Yeah, no, it's a lot more.

Why don't you figure it out? It's pretty easy.

Well, you have to move it.

Yeah, the movement is the analogs and the controller button. Oh, this made me

jump. Okay. Yeah, there you go.

Awesome.

Don't jump there.

No, no.

That's awesome.

What's this button do?

Ouch. Okay, different weapon.

How many weapons do I get?

Jesus.

You get a pretty good amount.

I mean, it just depends.

Well, for my character, because you're playing as my character, I've progressed

enough that I have multiple weapons.

That's awesome, that's fucking cool

I

got to learn what these buttons do a little bit better

You got that, Dad?

Actually, yeah, you take over.

All right.

Yeah.

I'm just going to keep watching.

All right, I see what you did there.

There's certain combinations that you can do with different attacks.

I get that. I remember each fighter in that game, we had different combinations

to knock them out.

Yeah, so it's a little different.

Very cool.

I see that transition.

All right.

Yeah, it's completely different.

I'm going to have to play it a little bit.

Yeah, of course. I'll have to.

Yeah, I'll pass it back over in a little bit.

Okay. They just were, you know, asking what was going on.

Okay.

Well, yeah, make your money.

I don't want to screw that up.

Hey, right on cue. There's another hundred bucks.

Jesus.

Oh, then there's five.

Oh, good job.

Couple of dollars.

Yeah. Every couple of minutes. If you get a couple of dollars every couple of

minutes, that's, that's amazing.

all right so coming up on this like uh you do you have like grenade launchers

or missile launchers or anything like that or uh no this this game's a little

more a little more mystical so there's um there's they're just like they're

different it's kind of the same but it's it's different it's uh i mean i remember

there's a spirit following there's um there's a There's a

ghost potion that you can use.

You can transform into the shadow realm too.

Shadow realm. Yeah, so you like your shadow form.

That's a little more mythical, but I mean, it's the same concept. It's the

same thing.

That was awesome.

Yeah, you like that? That was really cool.

There's a lot of evil forces that I'm going against right now because I'm

about to come up against another boss.

Okay. Oh, shit. You focus on that. Make your money.

Yeah. Well, I don't know. I kind of want to give you another chance to play, so I

kind of want to...

Figure out how to do it. No, no, no, no, no. We're focused on making money.

That's the whole point of what we're doing here.

You make your money.

You show me how to do this later on when you're not coming up on something

important.

We need to prioritize.

That's one of the things we need to discuss more is prioritization.

Oh, get him!

Get him!

You got him!

Oh, I see that!

That's great.

Yeah, you take a lot more damage, though, when you face Tabaka. They have

more than one form.

Okay.

Well, I just saw a couple more coins pop up. That's the important part. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, no, there's... Oh, shit.

Oh, they just gave me 400 coins.

Or $400 worth of coins. Jesus!

Damn near a thousand dollars. This is the best day I've had in a minute.

Yeah, you need to show me this.

For sure.

Even if you're in the business.

Yeah, let's incorporate.

Create our own LLC.

That's a funny thought.

Yeah, that's a real funny thought.

Down goes the boss.

You

know

what? That level's over right?

Yeah. We got a shot.

He's gotta remember where the buttons are.

Yeah.

Yeah, there you go.

Nice.

So should I try to pick that up?

Yes, you should definitely try to pick that up. That is something you're

supposed to grab.

Okay, so just run it up, like basically walk over.

Got it.

Oh, okay. I'm catching on.

This is intense.

I'm getting all right with this game.

Yeah, you're getting pretty good at it. Look at that, you just got a tip.

That's awesome.

I can't believe this is money playing a fucking game.

Listen,

I tried telling you. I tried telling you.

We're gonna make this work. We're gonna definitely make this work.

I'm telling you, that was the move.

Oh, fuck.

This looks important coming up.

Oh, yeah.

I mean... What do I do here?

You know, that's the final boss. I don't know that either one of us at this

particular moment are ready for that yet. I think... All right, so just leave

it there? Yeah, just go to save spot, save it, and then I'll handle it from

here.

I got you. Cool.

I guess that takes care of that final boss, huh? Yeah.

Let's get out of here.

All right.

Let's make some money.

Good. I'm so glad we figured this thing out as a family together.

Now, I'm going to clean up, go have fun with.

Come into my mouth.

Go have fun and mommy's going to make dinner.

Okay.

I'm glad we found a solution.
