The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast

"Hello.  Um...allow me to introduce myself..."
"The name's Resetti.  Mr. Resetti. Have we...met before?  At the...post office, perhaps?  Yeah, whatever. Anyway, let me just say thanks for buying this game, Animal Crossing. Um...on behalf of everyone at Nintendo, I...um...I... What was the next part?  Huh?  Aw, forget it!  That's enough! Let's get down to business, whaddaya say?  Because you may not know it, but you and I got issues to discuss. First, let me just tell you what it is I'm doin' here.  Just so there are no misunderstandings later on. You, my friend, reset your game, didn't you?  Huh?  Maybe on accident, maybe on purpose, but you pressed it. Or maybe you didn't, huh?  Maybe you just went and turned the power off without saving.  Sound familiar? What?  Sorry, what was that?  I didn't catch that last bit.  Did you just say I'm right?  You did what I said you did? Ah-HAH!!! All right, you listen and listen good, 'cause I get real angry when I gotta repeat stuff I gotta say. Resetting... It's like pressing an emergency call button.  You press it and I gotta come read you the riot act.  See? Also, you gotta SAVE before you turn the power off.  If you don't save, it's the same as resetting. Well, OK... That last part?  I just added that.  Why?  Because I wanted to. Forget about other games for a minute, will ya? I'm here to suggest that you try and play THIS game, Animal Crossing, without  hitting RESET.  Got it? I know what you're thinking: "Whether I hit RESET or not should be up to me. After all, it's MY Nintendo GameCube!" Well, sorry.  Rules are rules, OK?  Know what I'm sayin'?  Let's not make a big deal out of this.  End of discussion. This bein' our first meeting, I'm gonna let you off easy.  Think of this as a friendly warning from me to you. Oh, one more thing.  This is my job.  I take it seriously.  So next time you see me, it's no more Mr. Nice Mole. Oh, yeah, and another thing I guess I gotta say here... I really watched my... language...here today.  I'm not usually quite so... you know, so polite. If I'm bein' truthful here, I gotta tell you... I been told I got what you call an acid tongue.  I sorta...scare people. Hey, that's...who I am.  Nothin' I can do about it.  What, I'm supposed to say sorry for bein' me? Look, it's nothin' personal.  I ain't tryin' to be mean or cruel or nothin'. I ain't a monster. For those people who get their feelin's bruised easily, I gotta apologize in advance.  Just deal with it, OK? The deal is, I get paid to be nasty.  Crazy world, huh?  Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Well, I figure it's about time for me to get outta here. So, uh... Yeah.  Here's hoping I don't have to come see you no more.  Now... SCRAM!"
