TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 - Welcome & Introductions

ICEBREAKER
2:53 - If you were stuck on a deserted island with one city driver, who would it be and why?
(I’d pick Yoshiroo because he can get coconuts off trees with his boomerang)

CAT/BABY TOUR
16:19 - Killin' me with the filler tour bomb right in the first ten seconds! NO tour with a new retro track is a filler tour to me; it's that simple. The term filler tour really came around in year 2 when the game seemed to be spinning its wheels, revisiting old tracks or R/T variants with hardly any new content, and the use of the term has gotten out of hand. Just because we've been spoiled with + skill drivers, fests, and longer, more epic retro tracks doesn't mean that a "normal" tour is a filler tour. No matter how boring Baby Park is or even if its not perfect for MKT, its still a hall of fame retro track and it looks phenomenal. There was a time when even getting this track woulda been a huge deal. Sorry, got triggered there and had to call it out! :D

17:48 - We’ve discussed filler tours and their definition in the past, Is the Cat Tour a “filler tour”? Would it be considered an exciting tour last year but considered a “filler tour” in 2022 with all the new tracks, items, celebrations/fests?

28:27 - Are there any new cat or baby items you’re investing in coming out of this tour? 

28:57 - Does the fact we’re heading into a two tour city fest bury the value of these new cat or baby items or does starting with 6-8 newer available tracks this tour (Sky Garden, Yoshi Valley, Mushroom Gorge, Koopa Cape, etc) hedge the city buffs?

METROPOLETON TOUR/FEST
29:58 - Do you guys believe we will get all city tracks next tour including Paris promenade 2/3, Amsterdam drift 1, Berlin byways 2, and London loop 2/3? 

32:36 - Also in the following tour (part two of Metropoleton fest) will we also get 4 city tracks again such as Vancouver velocity, la laps, New York minute, Sydney sprint?

INVESTMENTS
41:13 - How long will it take for Samurai Mario to break into the top ten if ever?

METROPOLETON TOUR/FEST (CONT.)
42:50 - Any big surprises you foresee of the 2nd tour of the Metropolitan Fest? Will it just be 4 more non-European cities, or will there be someplace new or something exciting?

45:31 - How would getting back to back (potentially all) city tours, how will this impact the meta?
What more if Hero and N2CJN question above does happen where we get 12 (6 + 6) city tracks over the next month?

47:54 - Many people save during city tours, but with a two city tours back to back, that’s a long time. Will you save over that period? 

51:25 - Will we see the B Dasher Mk II’s come back week 2 of MetroFest? Will we ever see them come back; would you even pull if it did?

54:54 - What skill will Chef Rosa have?

MII’s
58:26 - With these base points continuing to go up, at what point do you start to think about putting tickets on Silver Mii Suit, Bronze Mii Suit, Nabbit Mii Suit, King Boo Mii Suit, DK Mii Suit over a Gold Yoshi or new non-Mii coinbox driver?

GRINDING
1:11:24 - Hey all! I’m curious to find out where you prefer to grind the most.  For me, it’s in my family room with the TV on and my cat on my lap. Nothing better!

GOLD PIPE
1:29:37 - Sammy's Gold Pipe Question (Question too long to add in Description!)

FINAL THOUGHTS
1:51:39 - Goodbye's & Thanks
