Hello and

welcome to dear, I can John.

Yours, I prefer to think of it, dear John and Hank.

It's a podcast where two brothers answer your questions, give you

some advice, and bring you all the week's news from

both Mars and to AFC Wimbledon. John did you hear that the no that the you did

actually that someone beat Tetris You did, in fact, in fact, I did. In fact, I broke this news to you.

But I want to talk about it because I feel like there's a metaphor in it. Oh there is so many

metaphors in it. So for those who don't know Tetris is a 35 year old video game released in the late 1980s when Hank and I were at our absolute peak of video game prowess

and Tetris' motto was from Russia with love because it was designed by a Russian video game designer right at this interesting moment when what had long been the Cold War was beginning to thaw as they said.

Yeah they made a whole movie about it it was a real blockbuster.

Oh boy. Oh boy I thought that we were gonna I thought I was like oh man there's no dad joke this week but you were just

waiting for a lot bust. So anyway people for about 30 years of the 35 year history of Tetris, maybe 25,

people always thought basically the best you could ever do was get around a million points which is when the game

stops counting points. Okay sure sure so that's one version of beating Tetris. Tetris is

not designed to go past that point.

Right. So that's called them... But it's not... But it doesn't even count your

score after that. It's called a Max Out. And there was one guy, his name is Thor, and he claims...

Is his screen name Thor, is his name? No, no, his real name is Thor. And he claimed to have gotten

a Max Out in like the early 1990s and everybody was like well

Thor is really good at Tetris but that's probably didn't happen right and people are like

oh this picture is photoshopped whatever this is before Photoshop but you know we there was already
