02:20:26 · Casey Neistat, John Coogan, Jordi Hays
[02:20:26] S6: Someone that cares that much about the craft. Totally. I wanna be part of that. [02:20:31] S1: Support them unconditionally. Yeah. So tell me about ModRetro, how'd that come together? What what what is the news in your world? [02:20:39] S6: You know, the ModRetro thing's really funny because I I my video says all this, but, like, I'm a big retro gamer. Mhmm. I'm guilty of sometimes playing Call of Duty on my Xbox, but it doesn't work out when you got a wife [02:20:53] S0: and kids. Guilty. Every every man should have an allocation of time daily for Call of Duty, you know, getting Getting on on rust with your boys. [02:21:02] S6: Yeah. He's so close to that w and then the door comes fly open and children come running in. Yep. It's challenging. Yeah. But I'm 44, so, like, Apex of video games for me was, like, 1989, I think, getting a Game Boy the first year they came out for my grandmother for Christmas. And, like, you guys are younger than me, but before that, all we had were those, like, l LED LCD games that were, like, really janky, like the Tiger games, and they were terrible. And the first time I turned on the Game Boy and, like, saw the Nintendo come down, I was like, holy. This is such a moment. [02:21:38] S1: Yeah.
02:21:38 · John Coogan, Casey Neistat
[02:21:38] S1: Yeah. [02:21:39] S6: And then Nintendo 64 came out when I was I was in like, just getting into high school as a freshman. We used to sneak out of high school, get on the city bus, like, the the regular bus, and then drive two towns across, and then walk a mile and a half to Toys R Us to sit in Toys R Us and play the demo of Mario 64 when that thing came out. I think it was in '94, so I was 12 or 13 years old. [02:22:04] S1: Yeah.
02:22:04 · John Coogan, Casey Neistat
[02:22:04] S1: Yeah. [02:22:04] S6: So I I love that stuff. And Mod Retros, when I first learned about it, when I first learned about Chromatic, their Game Boy, I thought it was really stupid. I didn't understand because you can get those, like, Chinese ones off of Amazon for $50. Yeah. And a friend of mine was like, no. This is great. They're doing great things. Do you wanna talk to Palmer about it? And I'm a huge Palmer Luckey fan. And I was like, I'd love to. And I don't know that I've ever been evangelized so much in my life. Like, by the end of that call, he didn't just convince me, but I was like I felt like an idiot for not seeing Yeah. What ModRetro was. And then as I got to know Torin, who who is the the CEO of ModRetro and understand the vision for the company, was just so, like, overwhelmed. Was like, this is the most, like, beautiful vision ever. I don't understand the business of it. It makes no sense to me. But the fact that these guys have the guts to do this, like, can I be a part of it? And I think I pitched back to them what I understood the company was, and they're like, that's it. That's what we wanna say. And I was like, alright. Give me a job, and my job will be to figure out how to communicate that, and we'll make videos and stuff. And they're like, sure, but we're not gonna pay you. And I was like, great. I'll take a business card. [02:23:19] S1: That's not
02:23:19 · John Coogan, Casey Neistat, Vineeta Agarwala
[02:23:19] S1: That's not [02:23:19] S6: a business card. Prices. It's been great working with I've also I'm an investor in ModRetro. I have a vested interest in them succeeding, but, I mean, that's not the that's not where the passion to be a part of what they're up to comes from for me. [02:23:33] S1: Yeah. So many places we could go with this. This is fantastic. What yeah. Do you think that there's a world I mean, I I love the handheld gaming stuff. I my my experience having kids was I stopped playing console games. The n 64 was actually my first console ever. And but once I [02:23:52] S6: started What was your game? Kids [02:23:54] S1: Super Mario 64 for sure. Golden Eye was big. Big head [02:23:58] S7: Golden Eye. [02:23:58] S1: Golden Gun. You gotta do that. And then a couple other Donkey Kong and was never really into the Mario Kart racers but then Smash Brothers kinda took over and that was the real competition with everyone eventually.
