Episode Date: September 5, 2019

This week Ivan and Denis are joined by their favorite boss and their favorite soccer-car DJ. They tackle all the hard-hitting topics such as the taste of Nando's chicken, the worst candy bars, and and the correct pronunciation of SNES. Thanks to ItsDaMuneeROW#0001 for the art!

Hello and welcome everybody to the NCXT Club podcast number zero zero seven. I am Den ZXT. We have Ivan. Hello, everyone. Jared Kim. Hello. And special guest, you want to go ahead and ask yourself? Hello, yes.

Hi. I'm the designated English guy in the room. I am front case. I am a double-step guy. And yeah, cool, nice. Does this podcast have subtitles? I have no idea with this guy. It begins already.

It's working, though. It's pretty cool, right? Yeah. She's the first foreign born guest who had on here. Yeah, and first external guests. That's true. Yeah, non-compose. I mean, this is a very diverse room as I look around.

Yeah. So how am I the only one who's, come on? That's true. Because you play Rocket League. Oh, yeah, that's true. You do play Rocket League on PC. We're still doing this. With the controller.

Well, I mean, with the PS4 controller too. That's how we met you. Yeah. Because we're at the pot. We had her pop up. And then Dennis. Nudges me and he goes, look at this clown playing for Rocket League. Who goes to his exact words were, who goes to a PC bong to play Rocket League and bring the controller.

Yeah. And so. So I had no idea who you were at that time, right? So I just told him, clown on him. Yeah, no, it's funny. And then he clowned on you and then you started interacting back. And then I was like, why is this guy verified? And they were like, oh, fun case. And then Jerry comes up.

It's like, yeah, this is my friend. Yeah. Come to hang out during the pop-up and you guys are making fun of them. Sorry, we're making fun of you. I didn't change anything, though. I'll get more. We made fun of him the first day and he came back to other three. Yeah, I'm still late.

I'm still waiting. I'm doing a dime podcast for you guys. Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. That's what happens. If you can take the heat, right? Well, it was on.

I mean, we love Rocket League. It's just a joke. No, but. You better. It's just fun. It's just fun and I see many people like that. And we even sponsored their tournaments. Yeah.

We used to, right? Back in day. There's a NZ. flag in Rocket League. I think I haven't told us that was one of the first sponsors, right? Yeah, it was the first flag they put in the game that the logo was text. Oh, right. Yeah, and for the longest time, they wanted us to come up with like an actual logo.

Yep. Like, they need like some image. You could use these to square the mascot. What's he called it? Oh, Poochee. Yeah, you can put Poochee on it. Maybe you can hit it. Okay.

There's a Rocket League. Oh, nice. Oh, where you have that here? That is your robbery in the office. Right now, literally. It's somewhere in the office. I've seen it somewhere. It's in the marketing right thing.

Whoa. That is amazing. Yeah, we have a lot of really interesting cases in the back. Yeah. Speaking of interesting cases, we, if you guys saw our Instagram story, we... Speaking of interesting cases, we got fun case. Oh. Oh, dang.

Delete. God tear. Well, thanks for coming, guys. All right. See later, guys. That's all you get. Sorry. That's your one for the day.

Oh, Lord. You look at that. Yeah. It's pretty good. For those who don't know who are listening on, I know, through SoundCloud, I guess for now, is we're actually recording this live. We're recording this through Discord. So if you want to listen live, you happen to somehow find this through SoundCloud and have

no idea what the heck we're doing. This is the NCXT Club podcast. And you can check us out on Discord.g.g. slash NZXT. Or at Jared Kim on Twitter. Yeah. Or at FunkKSuk on every social media platform. Hello.

Or at DenzEXT. Actually, I just got Denz, ZXT on Twitter but I had to use a three because someone from like Finlan is using DenZXT. Oh really? And they have an user account. Maybe I should hire him instead. Apparently, right? That's true.

And then I'm trying, I'm in the process of trying to find a good numbered DenZXT on Instagram, but I really hate using like numbers in my name. Yeah. I feel like I'm like 12 or something. You could do the year you're born. I do 86 for a lot of my stuff. Denz XXT 89. Or just do what you did and select the region that's in the country.

Denz XXT. US. Yeah, yeah, it's what I do. It works. It works. There's like multiple Denzix Dux D.G.T. accounts for like different countries. No, you should be Funkcase, USA. Sounds so horrible when I think about it.

All right, so Funcase. Tell us a little bit about yourself. So you're a DJ here. That's my life, yes. That's your... Are you the one responsible for the mess you created of Jared's DJ? I'm part of it. I'm definitely part involved, for sure.

Yeah, I'm definitely part involved. I'm not so. Sorry for that. Yeah, I remember the first day of the pop-up, Jared goes, I might be a little late tomorrow because I'm DJing tonight. And I was like, what the heck are you talking about? Fun case is letting me hit the play button. Yeah, so.

In front of thousands. Yeah. Which festival was that again? It was. Somewhere and San Bernardino. Project Z. San Bernardino. Yep.

That was fun. The Nass Center. Yep. That next day, you were tired. Yeah, I was. That's where we come up with Sad Jared. He had. He had two sets in one day.

Oh, yeah. So we closed it to 1 a.m. and we got home at like 3.30 and you were in the office at like 8 or 7. Yeah, yeah. Because we opened that, yeah. So it was like pretty crazy night. That's when we invented Sad Jared. Yep, Sad Jared.

Because he was just in the corner looking down. Oh, really? Yeah. I had 12 hours of sleep that night. It was great. Yep. And then he came back. I know, I came in and it was like, cool.

Give me some tea and let me play Rocket. Yeah. Yeah. I think it drank was like two or three N6Ts like that day, which probably would probably make everybody in this disc, super jealous. What's funny too is... They were really good, by the way.

Right now, we got back from lunch, and I offered a fun case a drink, and he goes, do you have any other NST? I don't actually like ice tea. That's the first ice tea. But I offered you the tea that NST's long-lost son drove all the way from Canada here.

And he said, can you just buy that in America? And I said, you sure can. Yeah, that's literally what we've been saying the entire time. He brought her from Canada. So he's they were going to go. They appreciate you, by the way, if you're in here. I don't know if he's in here or not, but I'm just

trying to... Who? He'll listen. The guy. the kid the son from oh longwell son yeah he's everywhere he's here and he's there yeah he's they appreciate you i'm just going to say that on behalf of them before you start getting upset does he does he message you no i don't know is he called the x t lost long we tweet me and him yeah he's a really cool guy yeah he's a nice kid he's he's everywhere he's like in my dms on

in uh discord and also on twitter and i think soon instagram once he finds out what my instagram account is going to be so oh god yeah yeah so fun um For a lot of people who don't know, like, what does DJ do? Because Jared said about hitting the button, right? And that's what the world thinks we do. Yeah. I feel like a lot of people think it's just hitting a button, right? So what more is it?

How much detail do you want to know? Because I can get very depressive. Oh, let's go into it. I'm ready, man. Oh, my God. How long have we got an hour, two hours, nine hours? I'll do. By the end of it, we'll learn how to load a song into the CDJs.

Literally, literally. The world thinks we literally live like a first class flight like jacuzis and hotels like literally private jets everywhere straight on stage everyone thinks DJs are like Jared yeah pretty much yeah

yeah yeah yeah exactly yeah no it's pretty much just like I spend a lot I spend I fly from the UK to the US every two weeks at least so sometimes I'll come twice even three times to America in a month

wow and that's between seven to 11 hours so you can imagine doing that every week or every two weeks like I don't want to kills you yeah so there's that that sucks because I don't fly first class. When I'm paid, oh, this is deep information we're going.

When I'm paid, I'm paid in one full fee. So I have to buy the flights from my fee. It's not like the promoter goes, oh, we're bringing in Calvin Harris. Here's loads of money. And we'll fly you in first class. You know, it's like, here's all your money. You decide what you do with hotels and flights. Yeah, I'm sure a lot of the bigger names, like Calvin Harris, for example,

they probably have their own plane, right? Exactly. I don't. Yet. Jared says, yeah, that's a good sign. I remember a couple years ago for the Twitchcon party, they had Steve Ioki. Yeah.

And that same day, after the Twitchcom party, he performed in Las Vegas. And I was thinking, like, how the heck is this guy performing in Vegas tonight? Yeah, I asked someone at Twitch. He's like, oh, he has his own jet. Like, really? Yeah. I mean, you could fly there anyway. I mean, so I know Steve Oakey did three shows one night for New Year's.

So he did like, he followed the sun. Oh. So he would have started in Australia, then down like UK and America or something like that. And he followed three shows and one night. Yeah, it was crazy. Was it on purpose that he did that? Yeah, for extra money. I mean, New Year's Eve is the biggest holidays.

Yeah, so, like, most can go through bidding wars. It's actually really awesome. That he thought about that. Yeah. So, yeah. Well, speaking of the Twitch, as you said, TwitchCon, though. Nice, nice link. He was there, actually.

We just didn't know each other back then. Oh, really? Yeah. He couldn't get in. Bang on the door, free PC. Back then, his Twitter handle was Jared Kim's long last son. Yeah. It's actually

It's come full circle Because TwitchCon's like a couple weeks from now That's great And I think like one year ago This guy was trying to get into our party And couldn't get in Did you DM us? No, I was with Minilad

And Minilad was sponsored So even Minilad couldn't get in And he's sponsored Yeah It was so rammed The party was so rammed And you've come a long way James Now you've made it into our office

Yes I've infiltrated the HQ Yeah Senko says bro he's with Minilad What a Chad What a Chad? We're from the UK, I believe. He's one of our...

Medina is a Chad? I don't even know what that means. That's how English I am. What's a Chad? I mean, I couldn't tell you. I'm not really up on the UK slang. That should be your job, man. I mean, you can explain it to me in basic English layman term.

A Chad is a bruh. A brough. It's an English brough moment. Chad is basically a brough. A mad lad. He's a mad lad. Oh, mad lad. Yeah, I can take...

I can get with that. A Chad is a brer. Oh my God, that literally told me nothing. Brough moment. Brough. So you were saying you fly seven hours. Seven to 11 hours, sometimes 12. Couple times.

And that's America. Just America. You have to, besides the road stuff, like what does a DJ gig entail, you know, besides the travel? Like once you actually get to your destination, what do you do? So like from the airport? Yeah. when I land I have to wait for nearly an hour sometimes my baggage which sucks because when you're there you're like oh finally I'm here and then you're still

there and then he while he's waiting for his bags he texts he texts he's like hey Jared you want to get cream barbecue yes naturally nice yeah every time is it because he's Korean you're like let me text I mean he knows only Korean I know this I'm not saying that way you've been that's why you ask me and Dennis for fish tacos yeah that's true yeah we just I don't know baggage goes drive to the hotel it can take anything from 20 minutes to an hour and a half two hours sometimes three hours I've been I've driven all the way to a hotel and then just sit in the hotel waiting for your show sometimes I can be very very lonely sometimes it can be me

playing Rocker League the whole time actually it's always me playing Rockett League you play mostly on your switch right what were you traveling or laptop yeah I've a gaming laptop okay what's that what's a gaming laptop it's not NGST unfortunately I'm not gonna say because Jared's like wielding a knife in hand right now is a razor laptop it is yeah they make it honestly if I had to pick a laptop for gaming. I'm going to have to pick that. They're pretty solid.

They're great. I've got an older one so it kind of gets a bit hot, but I need to have an older one because the power supply on planes doesn't power the new ones because they take too much voltage. And I think they even have mechanical switches too on the keyboard, right? Yeah, mine doesn't. I actually had the new one with the 1080 in it, but that got so mega hot.

And also it was a 17 inch screen or something close to that. And it was ridiculous on planes. Literally, you couldn't fit. Man, 1080, that's notes. Yeah, 4K, 4K screen on a laptop. But it was like literally, you plug it into the, into the plug in the plane and it would go nope and just search and then like

won't charge so I was like I don't like having to play for two hours and then turn off does yours this is a question I've been burning to ask does your keyboard have a dollar sign or a pound sign on it no dollar signs of mine I'm afraid so it's a pound sign well yeah I'm English okay so you bought it over there I bought it yes okay that's all I wanted

I just blew my mind because never thought there would be a pound sign on the yeah on the I'm trying to remember where it is it might be like shift five or something like that. Wait, does that mean you guys don't have dollar signs on your keyboard? Like, shift four is the dollar sign. Shift five is the percentage sign. Shift four then maybe.

I mean, I can't, I don't have it on me. Okay, here. Here's a keyboard. Oh my God. Right? And let me know where the bad man press. I'm going to say four. I'm going to say four.

Yeah. Okay. Interesting. So we don't, we don't have euro signs on odds either. So when you're messaging people saying, I need you to pay up and like, like, usually will hit the dollar time. No, if I have to get $1. I have to type dollar into Google and then copy the low.

Yeah, oh, he's got the Euro sign, the guy, recent. And, uh, yeah, so that's, oh, he's got a dollar sign on that one. It's that dollar sign and, uh, how do you get both? Well, we don't, in England, so England, in England, we, we're obviously part of, at the moment, a part of the European Union. Yikes. Let's not go into Brexit. Uh, but we don't even have the euro sign on us.

Like, only just, I've only got the pound. Pound three. That's interesting. Maybe it is three. I don't know. Hmm. Wait, then, what is your? I'm excited.

I don't know. What does the actual pound sign go? Like the hashtag pound sign go then. Yeah. How do you use Twitter? Yeah, exactly. The hashtag is, yeah, I don't have that either on my keyboard at home either. I have to type that into.

That's why you're so bad at Twitter. Yeah, exactly. That's what we clown you on Twitter. Yep. That's the tweet right, by the way. We just heard you guys in the UK don't have pound signs. How do you use Twitter? Well, these people are posting up.

So that's, like, yeah, so that's the Euro sign on the phone. What's that sign on the two? What's that two sign? Yeah, what's that? What's that a quotation? What the heck? What is the number two? Okay, so that one, yeah, so hash is there on that keyboard,

but some keyboards don't have the same formula on the same. Because look, that's alt. Yeah, so, yeah. What's GR on the bottom there? It's a different version of alt. Oh my God. And also that one has an entire two row enter button. Some of them have one row and buttons over two.

It's pretty confusing. I know. keyboards keyboards are really they're a big thing yeah what do you mean as the uk allow well i mean if i had a picture of my razor one now and your keyboards are in a different direction over there different yeah i know yeah no that's australian yeah it's upside down so uh life of dj is a lot of traveling a lot of waiting around a lot of driving and then literally a lot of playing uh on your switch and we don't even get to see that like we don't even get to see the places we go to so let's say i go to i go to athens in greece

I'm like, whoa, I'm going to see Acropolis. It's literally land, see the roads on the way to the hotel, sit in the hotel for two hours, make music, do the music stuff. Go play the show, go back to bed. Wake up, go to the airport by 11 a.m. See nothing. I mean, that's the gig, right? Yeah, but you think like, oh, wow, I'm going to this amazing place.

So besides the boring part, showtime, what does that until? Like, when you get to the club or the... Get to the club, you get you to a green room. You sit in the green room, just waiting to go on. stage. You were with me, Jared. You just sit in the trailer, just talking to people. Can't believe they let you play with Jared there. I know, yeah.

It actually became a thing. There was some, like, back and forth we had a I mean, they did talk to him, but to him and his manager. They were like, who the heck is this guy? Yeah, there was definitely some, like, there can only be ex-s over people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, no. He's marshmallow. Oh, no, no, it's not.

That's so weird, like, what if you're, like, a rapper? And you know, those guys run with, like, 20 dudes and, like, their posy, right? So that's their, like, that would be their pre-planned crew. They would have on the thing, so they'd all have to have specific access. If it's anyone else, most of the time, no one gets on stage. Like, Jared couldn't even get on stage with me, like, to go press the button. Yeah, the first one, we had an issue because, like, they were holding me back.

Yeah. And, like, he has to start the minute, started the second one. I was just... Beyond the steps that go up to on stage, you can't really go any further. You can just stand there. Oh, that's just hit play. Yeah, yeah. actually on the first stage they actually you're they kicked your manager off and I

stayed they did my own man they kicked his manager off and it was just me and his photographer up there that's why we kicked them off the podcast too yeah yeah all right so when you're actually on stage how does that go like do you hit a button and then you just let it play like do you I wish it was that easy okay it's not I mean Jared now knows right it doesn't even have to ask me he in his head he's like oh this for you it's fine but yeah no it's we just we just mix music in from you you guys are figuring out the BPL for the intro music yeah for the Wii music yeah yeah I heard there's a there's a secret

button that you hit that makes it super easy for you know who's the button Jared knows the button Jared note yeah someone uh someone leaked the secret discord DJ tech yeah yeah so I went to the show time you basically just go on stage to your thing huh play to show yeah yeah go stage sweat for a while drink loss of water water water water water water water water water water water water right yeah I have to say like I It's only recently I've been going on stages and seeing what it's like, but like what they get to see, like when you get up on that stage and you see thousands,

if not like a 10,000 people. 10,000 of that show. Yeah, that first stage was like 10,000 people. Yeah, that's nuts. It is so insane, like literally standing up there and seeing 10,000 people in front of you. Yeah, well, that Steve Ioki show that I saw at Twitch Kong, I was actually in the very, very front.

And I remember I would look back, And I'd be like, holy cow, that's a lot. It was just, it was at the Petco Park. Oh, yeah. It was just like, you can't even count how many people are in there, you know, a thousand dollars of people. I can only imagine what it feels like to be on stage. Yeah, because you're elevated and it's just.

Well, not just that, but also like doing something you love, you know, and then having people enjoy it and like love it along with you. It must be a really awesome feeling. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. It's one of the best feelings for sure. Like I say, on stage is the most, that's the most glamorous part of the whole thing. What got you into DJ? My mom.

My mom is a DJ. Oh, really? My mom used to be like a well-known DJ back in the 90s. Oh. Mom is Trinier. I'm turning here and friends. When I hear music, it makes me dance. Nope.

The deep cut. No, no, and a Debbie Deb. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. Okay, so when you go on stage and you're about to perform, right, do you have like a set, like, set that you do? Or do you like change depending on, like, how the crowd moves? Yeah, kind of both really.

That's funny. We actually were just talking. I'm not trying to write over today. Because you're trying to get the secret at DJ tips. Yeah. I mean, I learned the secret button, but there's more to,

I know. Yeah. Because like, I've been to like a few EDM shows, not a whole lot, you know, but like I've heard people like, oh,

you know, like, example, up into a chat like four or five times, right? And people are like, oh, this person, don't watch him because he just does like a set that's already preset, right?

He just sits there and hits knobs for a little bit, right? But this guy, he does a live mix. So you want to watch him because it's, it's a better show because he actually like feed, like the crowd what they want. I think to be honest, that's like,

it doesn't really matter if you got a pre-planned suit. If it's the same set you saw six months ago, then maybe don't see it. But like, I don't think it matters if someone's pre-planned it

and it doesn't. And you also kind of have to play like the hits a little bit, right? Like what's popular? Yeah, it depends. I mean, I can kind of get away with not doing that. But, uh,

yeah, to keep the crowd going. Yeah, for sure. If you drop something they know, it always keeps the crowd lifted for sure. Are you guys ready for Old Town Road? Yeah. I mean, when it comes to the DJs show, it's never 100% of DJ's music.

Yeah, yeah. And there's always there's always bootlegs as well. Like someone will make like a bootleg of God's plan or something, which goes into a knock and angry, a dobs step drop or something. So there's always something of someone. God's plan. It was anywhere from like 10% of their music to like maybe 50% of it. Oh, really?

It depends. You can do all original set. Yeah. Yeah. Did your mom teach you that? Kind of? How did she teach you? She didn't actually teach me.

I watched her for many years growing up, literally from birth until being a DJ. was watching a long thing and then yeah i've always been a kind of person i can just do stuff instantly i can understand it and just do it imagine if your mom was so so so so so next week he's going to be running this podcast yeah he's watched he's watched you guys set it up once yeah he's stealing it set me up on the payroll let's go yeah i'm down for it okay so uh DJing um i totally skip what i was gonna say that was great it's great question like all right let's go and these just went away Well, good thing I have a list. Questions on Trello.

Actually, I have some questions, too. First question, why the mask? Where the masks come from, first and foremost. So the... We're like really in a slip-not. In what order? Yes. But that's not why.

Is it because you're a clown? Yes. As you guys have told me many times on Twitter. You say clown posse? Yeah. My friend is actually their talk manager. Honest? Yeah.

Really? No. No crap. No crap. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, what was the question? Would you ever play at the gathering of the juggaloes?

I don't know what that is. Do you don't know what it is? No. It's like, it's like, instant clown posse's like giant festival. Oh. And all the juggaloes and all the juggolets,

they all the jugglers. Yeah. And then they bathe in Fago and just, you know, go wild for like a weekend. And apparently like it's a really good show. I've heard like a few rappers who've been there and they're like, it's the best show I've ever done.

Their fans are insane. Yeah. They're fans are hardcore man. I'll be down just to see what it's like. I'd be super down just to see what it's like. It seems so weird. I've seen that video of the jogolos like they're all wearing the green dreads and the last they're just doing that thing.

Every year they have the gathering of the juggalo's and who is the comedian? They hired some comedian. Oh yeah. Heard about that. They started throwing, you know, feces out of them. What? Yeah, they go. It was like a really, Jesus.

Yeah. What's the? Oh, is that the insane clown posse? Yeah. That's ICP. they're interesting group. No real concept of science or math.

I know of them. I've seen pictures and stuff, but I don't know what their music they're doing. All right, so the mask, where did that come from? So the mask. Okay,

so the day before my first ever fun case show, I was dressed up in a full suit and it was a body suit and a mask. And I was doing, I was hired to do graffiti at an event. I was at this event, which was a university summer ball and the whole thing was dress up.

So I bought this really cheap, like suit from a, supermarket in England you wouldn't know the name of it it's kind of like the Walmart of England you should say it anyway what's Walmart Tesco I know Tesco yeah all right flex in your English yeah we have like a lot of people in our Discord who are from like the EU and UK Tesla Tesco Prime mark oh let's go let's go let's go let's go fan I'm at home I'm just gonna sit a lot of this is great this is great yeah and then I wore it then during the thing

doing graffiti and stuff because I used to be a graffiti artist and everything on the day of my show I accidentally left the mask in my bag and my friends saw it in the bag and dared me to wear it and well here you go what was your uh graffiti handle tag i had many but at the time it was uh breck b r e k r e k nothing so grafiz like i wasn't i wasn't ever prosecuted by the police although i was caught once but they let me off if i told them information and i told them fake information graffiti is really fascinating to me i think uh recently we parked somewhere and there was some graffiti and i was staring at it and then it's like hurry and i'm like hold on i

I want to read this because I think it's really, really amazing. It's from the pop-up, right? I don't remember where, but like the artwork that some of these people do, it's nuts. It's like beautiful. And, you know, unfortunately, like, it is illegal as well. So people kind of give it a, you know, a negative stereotype. But that's cool that you were graffiti artists. I was never into doing like characters or faces or anything.

I was only good at the letters and stuff. That's my favorite graffiti, actually, the lettering stuff. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I'll do something. I'll do an NXXT one. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do it on my iPad.

I'll do a nice big digital piece for you. Actually, I'd be super down for that to like throw out on like the side of my case or something. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Actually, we should have them do like some graffiti like in the office. Just have like, you know, because some, some like super cool tech companies. So I have like someone to do like a, you know. You should actually just keep thinking of tattoo Jared. Right now.

Let's keep thinking of free things we can get them to do. Oh, my Lord. I think there's some lights broken in one of the bathrooms. It'll be real cool if you could fix it. I think there's, I know, every, every podcast we select artwork. from the community so for this one well I guess whenever you do the the logo whatever we got some graffiti right there oh yeah yeah yeah you get you get paid hundreds of thousands for that that design we need to put that on a case pretty famous yeah

how long were you a graffiti artist before you got to be jane I was I learned graffiti when I was 14 from a friend who was from your dad who's a graffiti artist no no unfortunately it was actually his uncle yeah exactly yeah that my uncle So from 14 to when? Till I, Funcase basically. Which is 23, so I was doing it nine years. Wow. Obviously Funcase started doing really well and I was like, well, I don't really want to be doing graffiti anymore.

You've been DJing for like 10 years now? Yeah, this is my 10th year as Funcase, yeah. A decade. But you didn't start it, but you didn't start as Funcase, right? No, someone did some research. Did a little bit of research. Looks like someone did some research. What, you went on Wikipedia.

I could find two. Started as Tist, though. Oh my God, he started. He's actually Gigi. Yeah. So I found I found two aliases. There's DJ Does. Yeah.

Or Dose. Yeah. Oh, hey. Yeah. So DJ Dose is my drum. Because I was a Jerome based producer before Dubstep. Okay. I made Dubstep when I didn't like it and it blew up.

And I'm going to like that. Where it's difference? What's the difference? Speed. That's it? Yep. Just the speed. Pretty much.

Yeah. Oh. DG. Dube is 140, 150. D&B can be anything from 170. Actually, I had no idea. That's actually really interesting. Yeah.

That's one difference. Oh, it's just pretty much. I mean, yeah, I mean, there's every subgenre of every different. Right, right, yeah. But yeah, it's pretty to the same. Did you learn on vinyl? Yes, I did. Oh, yeah, I did.

I'm a big vinyl fan. I have like 1,000 records. Whoa, I've probably got about 5,000 records myself at home. Yes, photos. I mean, if you want to put up in the podcast channel. Yeah, I'll dig a bit. But what's interesting, though, like, I'm a huge music fan, right? Yeah.

I got rid of all my tapes. I started with collecting tapes and I was a kid. Same. Got rid of all my CDs. I never got rid of the records because even before it was cool to collect records like it is now. To me, it always just, it not only sounded better, but the whole experience of like, okay, I'm going to sit in this chair, put on these headphones, I'm going to listen to this side and I'm going to stare at this lyric sheet or whatever. Like, it's a whole different experience than I'm going to put on my AirPods and then play. Well, it's good to have physical copies of what you've got.

It's different, right? As a producer, having it on, I've got 21 drum bass records as DJ Dose. Wow. I've got about maybe five this one case. But having a physical vinyl of your own music is amazing. It's literally amazing because now you just go, oh, you go, SoundCloud, it's done. It's like all your hard work is like, just, you know. It's an experience, right?

But then, back then you had to buy it. You had to go to a shop, listen to it. That's really cool. I'll buy that. And then you throw it on and you're like, and I've got like pre presses, test presses, like everything, like metal metallic dub plates that only last. plays, things like that, and it's amazing to have. That's interesting.

And it's physical. I can put them on the wall and be like, that was my release. Do you do that now? You're like, what didn't come out on vinyl? Did it? And you're like, yeah, well, you know, I kind of, yeah, I'm an idiot. And it's also, for me, like, it almost sets a mood. Like, I love just staring at like a thousand records.

Just looks cool, right? And then when you're listening to music, it kind of like. Makes you look old, but it's cool. Well, I have old. I mean, I'm really old. I've been vouch for that. It's fine. But I think it's cool that you were able to learn on vinyl.

and then transition is digital because it is expensive. Yes, it is. A record can be $100 even for what one song if it's like a really rare record. So how did you make that transition and why did you do it? It was just a natural thing in the music industry. Everything just went to USB. It was much easier.

It was much more convenient. Especially with traveling, right? Yeah, that's what I mean. No one wants to check in all these bags of vinyl, which is really heavy. Like walking around airports, like arms tired it would be I think cool though to see someone still DJ with vinyl there are people to do it there well there's a thing called Saragia yeah and Saratio

have like vinyl so you can put music into so you're actually are mixing yeah it's on your laptop yeah that's interesting yeah so like uh when you go to do a gig like what do you like for your B master headphones and that's it and everything else already got on there like and you hit it in his entourage oh which is Jared yeah yeah his boy Jared yeah exactly uh that's it everything's all supplied in clubs and stuff. I don't have to bring CDJs or anything. Even the water. Even the water. Yeah.

And the fish and chips. So you wear a mask, but some of the DJs, some bigger DJs that have this whole, like, get up, like a big old headset and like a whole suit and thing. What's your, like, what's your opinion on that? Because I personally don't get it. Like, we're on the middle. It's a brand. Yeah. It's instantaneous

brand. Let's say you get a guy, Tiesto, for instance. Right. What's Tiesto's brand? I don't know the name. He's got that logo, right? Yeah. that bird logo thing that's all he's got yeah his face isn't really a brandable thing is it but if you look at marshmallow he's also like he's over forever and he's old too so yeah there's that i remember it's true because like i remember i was in junior high and like oh man you know this this this this this like this this tesso song's dope and then i like 10 years later oh yeah he's still

a thing yeah i had no do what it looks like and it doesn't matter because he's he's an old guy he's an old dude now yeah but he's got so much money oh he's got such a name he doesn't have to do anything anymore he's got that one track the the orchestral piece techno track Yeah, yeah. But I mean, if you look at him and then you look at someone like Marshmallow, for instance, who's literally the biggest DJ in the world. Calvin Harris has more number ones than Michael Jackson in a decade. Right. And Marshmallow's bigger than him. Yeah. And now why is that? Because he's a brand and that's why he's in Fortnite. That's why Cameron Harris isn't in Fortnite. It does look cool, but it also looks really annoying. I met Marshall in the one time.

And I got really close to him and I was talking to him and I was peeking inside his mask. Yeah. And it was in the middle of summer. It was like a year ago, actually, last June and July. and I was like this guy must be hot in there because no no he has so I know I know him personally yeah he has fans in there they've also brought the the first gen marshmallow helmet was like 20 pounds

and now they've gotten it down to like seven pounds yeah well it was like 20 pounds with no fans yeah or anything yeah yeah and now and now it's now it's seven pounds with like four fans and like LEDs and everything yeah but they're like on version 8

at this point yeah I mean those dead masters the same thing he's got friends in ears and things like that so lucky for them was he the first to do like the whole the whole DJ mask thing or Dead mouse? Oh Dapark yeah that way before yeah kiss do people still consider them DJs though like yeah they DJs though like yeah they do DJs I mean because like yeah they do I mean they do sets but they're for me like they've always seem like a pop group to be honest like yeah like I've always going to put them in that category DJ doesn't make him a pop group I don't think I think they have pop tracks but yeah

oh my God Jared Kim Marshmallow Oh my Lord Every once in a while Jared will ask for my help To put together a presentation Like a slide for a presentation he's doing

And Jared does these like really big Important presentations To be like you know The CEO All the directors and stuff like that And every time you ask me to help him I say sure thing But I always throw in one little

One little meme in there Just to remind people To have fun Because I think it's very important To yes take care of business I think I almost get him fired. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the genius behind the marshmallow is

anyone could be marshmallow. That's the point, right? Right, that's the whole point. That's the branding. You can brand a look. Calvin Harris can do maybe Calvin Klein adverts and stuff. But that's niche market, isn't it? Yeah.

You can be an image and everyone can do it. You can draw it on your piece of paper. You can put a bucket on your head and cut the eyes out. You know things about. That's a brandable image. Having a brandable image is the biggest thing in, Dead Mouse. Actually, he doesn't hide who he is.

So like, yeah, so he comes out with it. So it's people associate that mask with him as an individual. But marshmallow, it's completely unknown. And that's like anyone can be marshmallow. And it looks so cool too. And you can relate. Like there's not one single person who is marshmallow. Everyone's marshmallow.

Yeah. I remember that. Wait, I'm marshmallow. You're marshmallow. You're marshmallow. You're much. I'm marshmallow. Wait.

We all have. All right. All right. All right. All right. Yeah, hey guys. I remember seeing Dead Mouse at the very first Twitchcom party, and it looked freaking awesome.

When you see this giant, like, glitter ball thing. Yeah, yeah. It just looks super cool. Yeah. It really does add to the show, I think, having the mask. That's what I mean. It's a brand, like I said, it's brandable, man. It's performance, right?

It's a manager's dream to be able to go, okay, how do we market you? Oh, you're already an image. There you go, easy. And you're also really, really ugly. Holy moly. I'm loving that Thomas Tank Engine, mask. That's a helmet.

That's a bike on it. It doesn't be mine. So when the performance is over, you just towel off and go back to your room, shower. I sit backstage. I wipe all the sweat off. I drink as much water as I can. Go back to the hotel with an attempt to sleep.

Meets all the other attractive ladies looking to play some rock. I'm afraid it's not as easy as that. Yeah. Well, you were saying that you're not a big party or like you don't drink. You don't do anything. No, I'm a long-time girlfriend. I have cats at home. So why would I want to ruin?

Like every club has, you know, drinking and drugs and partying going on. So what do you do when that's going on around you? He plays Rocket League. Yeah. I just, I just, I just, I just crack out my laptop. Christian Mikeups. Reply to our social media post. Yeah.

Yeah. He's lies in bed. He's like, I wonder what NZC saying on social media. Yeah. Well, I love that about about Funcase because when I first saw him at the pop-up, I literally had no idea who he was, just saw his. guy sitting at a computer playing Rocket League because Dennis nudged me and he goes, look at this clown. Who brings a controller to a PC bong and to play Rocket League?

And I told Dennis, clown on him. And so Dennis just posted a picture and clowned on him. And then Jerry comes up and introduces us to his friend Funk Case. And we were like, oh, hey. You know, similar story. But, you know, it's funny. It was like he was there playing Rocket League. And I saw there were like three people behind him watching him.

Yeah. And I went up to one of them and I said, do you know this guy? Like I was pretending I didn't know him. Oh, do you know this guy? And the guy's standing behind him. We're like, no, he's just really good at Rocket League. Because I was just trying to, I was playing dumb.

I assume they were like fun case fans. Because I've been with him. He's been recognized and stuff like that. That's the other thing. You're like one of the best Rocket League players in the world, right? I mean, it depends. I mean, someone asked what your rank was. And I know you have got a champion.

I got to 1700, which is, I think, is a top point. You could probably be a professional Rocket League player if you wanted to, right? No, not really. You'd have to be top top one, 200 to get that. Wrong answer. Just say yes, so Jared

can create an e-sports team. Yes. Thank you. Yes, I will be part of the N60 ESports teams. Yay. Perfect. Yeah, I think Jared or Ivan telling me that a lot of DJs actually like really good at video games, right? Yeah. Yeah. I have a lot of time to do it in hotels and stuff.

I spend eight hours on flights, like literally in Rock League training. Yeah, literally. We, some of our friends, I mean, we know a couple of DJs that are like, you know, top 500 or in Overwatch and you wouldn't even know. It's just they guess they have the time, right? Like they have all this traveling eight hours, 11 hours or whatever, and what else you can do? Sitting in a hotel's board.

I mean, sometimes, so let's say, let's say I do a show in Dallas on a Sunday. Monday, do Friday. I've got no shows. I'll just sit in the hotel, just playing games for the rest of the week or making music. but you know you have a lot of time to yourself so how many hours do you have a rocket league two and a half thousand that's it that's it that's a lot of me yeah but that's just on that's the pc tracked hours that's yeah so i did four i did four i had i think i had three to four hundred hours on p on playstation before but that was literally mess around with friends didn't care about it and then

when i got on pc i was like oh the latency is amazing it's instant big difference i'm gonna try now and then yeah so who got you into gaming and how long you been gaming uh there was a guy called Colin who I know that game yeah it's a great name he lived in my mum's house as a lodger

and he was a massive gamer he was one of the first people to have the PlayStation 1 when it first came out and he had wipe out and my mind was so blown from him yeah my dad was never

wasn't around so he was kind of like my dad effectively he wasn't like dating my mum or anything I just spent a lot of time in his room because I was really loving games

so and I only had a Super Nintendo most of my life until my mom could afford getting a PlayStation 2 or something so there's a big gap and he had everything in between so I was always sat in his room watching and play games very cool so yeah what was your first PC game

PC yeah Jesus Fortnite I was very late to the party I'm only I'm only I'm probably about four years deep in the PC gaming right now I was always a PlayStation guy yeah always PlayStation guy literally literally I think most people literally just I mean most gamers are not playing on a computer right most gamers are playing on

PlayStation or Xbox or yeah Nintendo Switch whatever So what made you get into the PC stuff? You just like that with performance? I mean, money was coming in nicely with Funkcase. So I thought I'm just going to buy a crazy PC. But I ended up finding a crazy PC for cheap on the English version of Craigslist, which is called Gum Tree.

Yeah, it's called Gum Tree. Gum Tree. Like, you know, like, the chewing gum and entry. Yeah, gum tree is like out of Craigslist. I bought a PC on there, literally had top spec stuff apart from the graphics so I was a 980TI. How come you didn't get an NZXT PC? I didn't know you guys.

You just said. That's a good. There you go. And I got it for cheap. I got it on cell PCs in the UK. So, you know, there's. Yeah, I can't wait for the UK base. Whenever that happens, I'm ready for it.

That's Jared. I think it's his job to make sure that happens. I'll get on it. I'll keep poking you about it. Jared gets 100,000 followers. He'll make it happen. Yeah. So how did you actually get into Rocket League?

It was a free download on the PlayStation store. And me and my friend downloaded it when we were bored with destiny. and we just played it and we were like oh this kind of fun even though i was no good at it yeah big i was a big destiny guy oh yes destiny one we have an n dxte destiny clan you do you do yeah yeah come down just actually running i need i need destiny two friends to play with because i don't like yeah we have like a whole six people who play religiously right i just need friends yeah but like uh we're definitely get a lot more like once the new expansion comes out

because yeah everybody's waiting for that transition to steam that it's not going to be on battle night anymore oh is it not yeah they're there they're they're they're the uh Bungy left Activision or there's like a split. So now they're moving the game onto Steam. And they also added in cross-savings. So you can take your characters from whatever platform you're on and play it on any of the platform. Yeah.

That's big deal. Yeah. That's cool. There's the thing. There's only two people we're now playing right now. But, you know, we have a whole 40 members. And, you know, we're still, you know, so chugging along. So I think since I started really pushing for it, we think added it looks like five, ten people.

It's literally the only game. I think people play on the server together. Yeah. Interesting. It's the common bond. And Minecraft. And Minecraft. Those are the two big games that people like actually log on together.

Only competitive game, right? Yeah. Unless Minecraft's competitive. I'm just, by the way, I'm three days deep into Minecraft. What do you think? Everyone's on Minecraft. I'm annoyed at how much I like it. It's fun, right?

That's a great game, yeah. I knew I'd like it. The thing is, I never played Minecraft. I knew I would be like super into it. You should join our Minecraft server. I know, I know. I know. I was hanging out with minelad and he was like,

have you played Minecraft yet? I'm like, oh, Craig, please. We spent a day teaching me and now I'm hooked. And you never decided to get into Fortnite, right? No, I don't like the building aspect of it. Really? The building aspects really put me off. Me too.

That's why I don't play Fortnite. I get shot at and my first reaction is to run and hide behind a building. Yeah, same here. To get to cover. It's not like build a building. That's why if you watch Ninja playing, ninja is like the best builder I've ever seen in Fortnite because that guy can, he can just build protection.

And while you can't shoot him, maybe he's protected. That's what I think makes him really good. Fortnite was the first game that made me feel old. Really? Because like, I'll, oh, same here. Yeah, I'll start. I'm like, I'm used to shooters, but then I'm like, well, I logged on a Fortnite. There's a building aspect.

I shoot some kid. And like before I know it, he builds like a four bedroom three bath house. Yeah. With a bidet and everything. Yeah. It's just like within like in like 10 seconds. Oh, NJXT Minecraft. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Service is pretty pretty dope. Like it. As soon as you log in, there's a giant NXT like logo on the ground. I'm like, yep, this is the NZXT server. There's like computer cases.

How do you get the purple? Is that the obsidian? Is that what it is? Is that that's the stuff that you're going to want to ask this for you. How do you craft purple guys? Purple is that I'm pretty sure. Oh, purple dye. Okay.

Yeah, that makes sense. No, I'm so new to it. I was thinking about the obsidian. That's the stuff where you make a portal into the never world and you can go get. Oh, yeah. That's like that's like that's a old hat now. Like there's been so many updates to Fortnite that I have a Fortnite too. Well, that too.

But to Minecraft, when I logged in last, I was like, what is all this stuff? Like, there's dogs. there's cats. I can enchant things. Like, am I Lord of the Rings now?

Like, what? Yeah. I'm playing. Everyone's going deep on the, on the details of the concrete. Trust me. Whenever we ask any question on social about, I keep saying Fortnite,

about Minecraft, people go in. Like, they give you like the, in this patch, it was added in, you know, like whatever,

whatever, like this exact hour and they gave you the whole. The irony of Minecraft is as soon as I see like an an explodey boy come at me, what are they called? Those extraders. Creepers.

So when I see a creeper come up me, I will build. to protect myself. I'll build around and then I'll be like, right, Colons. So you're pulling, you're pulling a, I'll do a Fortnite in Minecraft. We had to ban the word of creeper in our server. Oh, really? Have you, have you seen the, have you seen the Minecraft parody songs?

No. No? Okay, we get to play some. I actually want to test this. Oh, here we we go. I'm getting deep now. This is it. Okay, yeah. So this is like a thing that we had to stop because, uh, PewDie Pies sort of playing Minecraft again and I guess they watched the video or something. Is everyone playing it again? Because it's a Yeah, Mini Lodge playing it too. A lot of people playing Minecraft right now. Yeah, like people playing it.

So, sweet. This might be the next thing you want to play at the club you play next, you know, like or whatever big festival. I think you play this. People are going to go nuts. Oh, Lord. And how old people can hear it. Stop dancing, Jerry. Creeper.

All right, what's the DPM? So maybe play this, right? Oh, my. You might be the next big thing. They might put you into Minecraft. Imagine that. I'm in gross. No, it's, it's...

It's like catchy and a hit- He takes that he stops speaking. Get the gold door and then runs. Oh, it's cold in the background. I could answer this. I can definitely get to this. So like this guy's got like 10 million subscribers. This video has to do.

$204 million? Yeah, 204 million views on this on this Minecraft video. You have to play that song now. Jesus Christ. Do we want to take some questions from the... You play this, right? At your next festival, Instagram it. You'll blow up.

You'll get to 100K followers before Jared does. He's got over. So he's going to lose followers is what you're saying. He's going to play it. I get no idea. He's going to lose more than 100,000. Okay. He's going to lose 50K followers.

I play that. It's like a millioners on. Yeah. Yeah. If you play this, you'll be just like Jared. Okay. Yeah, but you guys are kind of running out of time a little bit right. So you have time to take some questions from the show yeah, absolutely. Cool. Sounds good. Cool. Who do we trust? Who do we trust? Who do we're we're dragging them in and they're going to talk to us? Well, they're just going to unmute a lucky person. So if you have a question for a fun case or Jared or even I guess Dennis or me that you do through with your voice, let us know we'll see what we'll meet you to work. I nominate a little jaw liver. little Jol there. Well, there's someone there asked me where in the UK I'm from, so I'm from Bournemouth, which is the South Central.

All right. Little Jah. I don't know what question you may have, but you better think of a question now. Little Jai, you're on the air. Well, you may answer remute. That's us. Where's he at?

There is. My bad, sorry. This is weird to do live. We never did this before. He should be able to speak now. No, I still can't do it. Does he unmute himself? He tried to figure out why won't me do it.

would he okay yeah meck better have a question let's say here oh speak no

speak is on there for sure maybe the push to I know what it is it might be I need to that's not my

that might that may fix it still muted yeah maybe maybe he's not having a someone

there nah or maybe he's muted himself yeah which if that's the case I can't do

all right let's move on to another guest there we go there we go Here go, hold it. Go ahead. Hey.

Hey, what's that, Max? Welcome to the show. Hello. Hello. So, please, how do you pronounce your name? Lil Joliver. Joliver. How do you come up with that?

We made this on a remote yesterday on the server because your picture here. I'll be going to throw it on there if we don't like that. There we go. There's an email right there. Scard. What question do you have for us today? have for us today. How do you all go through the design process for cases?

I'm interested in this too. We're talking to you fund case. Oh yeah. So what we do is we said that that's going to be just draw squares. All right. Well, let's see. No one in here is actually on the product design team. But the way that it's done is actually a little.

I guess complicated to explain because... You should probably have shit on here. Yeah, who works in that. The guy that's primarily designing this stuff, when I first met him, I thought it was really weird that he was never designing cases. He was just sitting at his desk and, like, draw robots and boats. And, like, he had all these pictures of, like, machines and furniture around him. And I just asked him one day, I'm like, why do you draw this?

And he said, well, that's where he gets inspiration for the cases. So a lot of our older cases, especially, before they got square. If you look at them from certain angles, they look like yachts or they look like cars. Yeah. So when they come to designing a case or a product, basically just a lot of sketching. You know, they have an idea of what they want. And then it takes a long time. We don't have a lot of products, as you guys know.

I think Manta, my favorite case, took about five years to make. And I saw maybe like five different versions of it before we released the, the one that we came out with. But it's basically just a lot of trial and error. A lot of trial and error. The challenge is always the same though. It's always to, you know, solve a unique problem differently and better than our competitors.

And that's our goal when designing it. Yeah. I think one thing that I've come to appreciate has been, it's not just how it looks. That's just like one aspect of case design. But I always, when I thought about case design, you know, before being at NZXT, I just thought like,

oh, you just design what it looks like on the outside. But there's actually so much more thought that goes into the cooling the the air flow the thermals cable management all that's cable management how easy is it to build with the only thing we don't care about is Airflow yeah that exists you don't need it but yeah true because like I have people who are like friends of mine who like they've never bought an n60 case before or like any of our products and then once they pick one up they go oh I love that you guys do this like a buddy of mine just

swapped from one case to the 510 elite And he's just telling me how much he loved the channels to do your cable routing. And I'm like, yeah, I know. At the same thing at your age, I remember. You showed me some of the cases. I love that you don't just have NZXT, just smash a, you know, massive logo. Just, like, this is what our case is, you know. Yeah, yeah.

Sometimes you can buy Corsair or anything like that, and it's got their logo huge on it. And you just like, it's clean. I remember, I remember Johnny, I remember Johnny, our CEO. He was telling me how, like, like, making a white case was a very, We were the first company that did a white gaming case and that was very like against the grain at the time. Yeah, I mean, the whole company was founded because we did something the opposite of whatever one was doing.

Everything was like a transformer or a stormtrooper. But when Johnny was in college in 2003, he wanted a computer that a gamer would want on his desk. Back then, Johnny was like, you know, 17 years old or whatever, 18 years old. And for him, that meant having this gaudy-looking transformer thing with RGP lights everywhere. But when he made that case, it was the very first case that was in a beige or brown box. And it blew up.

It became super successful. Gamers loved it. And it started the company. And, you know, when a lot of companies were making the same style of case, Johnny had to kind of reinvent the wheel again. So he did the opposite thing again. And what was the opposite thing? He was like, okay, let me make him simple now. Simple, minimal branding.

Like, you actually have to look for our branding in a lot of these cases. Yeah. So, for example, Minimedia just linked the photo. of the nemesis case, which is like, I mean, now it looks like an ugly case, right? But like back then it was like so different. It looks like a transformer. Yeah. Like I remember when I was walking through like fries and I was a kid, I'm like,

yo, that case looks so sick. It has like a hole in the sign. You can see through it. I want that case. And now I'm like, this thing's ugly. I don't want that. All right. So next person, who else has a question here?

Yeah, sorry, guys. We're going to skip a lot of questions because, you know, chat's moving really fast right now. Who's in this chat? Let me scroll down a little bit. Special says he has one. If you want to be on mic. Let's see if you can get them on the mic here. All right, special.

Hold up. Give us a second. Let's go all the way down. It doesn't work. You might need to unmute yourself on a super mute. There you go. All right, special. Go ahead and ask your question, buddy.

Hello, you're on the air. So if at all, do you have any college diplomas or anything that you went to a higher education for? In regards to, like, just like us here? Yes, any. Yeah, I have a PhD in Memology from Clown State University. Oh, my Lord. How do I notice you like coming? I'll answer first.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from California State University, Fullerton. Jared, do you want to go next? I am a college dropout. Funk case? I did a year of music and done literally nothing. Nice. I have my associates and I dropped out too. Yeah.

Like, college, I think, is a great experience, to be honest, but it's also different for everyone. Like, not everyone needs a college degree to get the job that they want to do. For me, whenever, like, you know, I'm hiring someone, like, and I see this person has a college degree, it doesn't, it's not like a make it or break it thing. It's like, okay, it just shows me this person can commit to something hard for four years and do it. Yeah. But they can do the same.

thing with something else. It could be starting a successful DJ career. It could be starting a company. It could be, you know, starting a successful social media page or whatever it is and do that for four years. That's also hard. But school is just, for me, it's more like an experience and you can make it what you want to be because personally, everything they taught me in school, I don't apply to my job today. I still have to learn everything on my own the hard way because school is just going to teach you to, you know, memorize the same thing as everyone else and they're going to test you on that stuff. There are, there are a lot.

You want to be a, if you want to be a doctor, go. Oh, yeah. There's a certain professions you have to get a degree. You can't YouTube. I was to do surgery. I mean, I'm sure there are videos. No, you probably could. Yeah. But I'm saying.

But I think college, college and higher education is really, college specifically, I think is really good. It's a really good place to figure out what you are passionate about. Right. I think it's, if you, if you're going in, you're not. sure what you're super passionate about you'll meet a lot of people you'll take a lot of classes you're you're joining a lot of clubs it's really unfair though to also expect people okay you're 18 now what do you want to do for the rest of your life and you have four years to study that now like yeah when you're 18 you're just a dumb person right like you're i just wanted to play drums i didn't

know what i wanted to do my last ago i realized my calling was to become an edm dm dj yeah exactly it's taking me 31 31 years to figure that out i mean i'm self-taught completely self-taught from the moment i was doing it for fun until the moment yeah like to me learning it's something you do your whole life. It's not just like when you graduate you from college and then you get a job and okay I'm done learning. I mean even people are the best at their field are always learning something. You have to

because if you don't do that then you just basically just wasting your life. Oh you just just flat out. Yeah. Just flatten out as a person and you know you just yeah. Everything's evolving constantly everything so you've got moved with it. Special just dropped out of college because of that. Yeah. Okay well I remind then.

Mom dad the guy's in. See told me at the quit school so I'm gonna go be a DJ now yep all right I know I nominate Vivian oh does Vivian have a question if you better I don't remember big biceps Brian as well he's been saying it oh there you go Brian yeah all right say so let me get him uh get him set up here it's big brain time big brain time uh where is he on the thing here me unmute um or big biceps all right mr biceps you're on the on the show what's up right who can lift the most of the gym um oh god we should have known

the name was a giveaway the name was a giveaway who can lift the most of the gym definitely not me yeah probably i could barely do a push-up when in my gym prime i was uh i probably bench about 70 kg maximum i don't understand what that is yeah yeah categorized american please what is it i don't know what that is so i should we do our syri this or yeah without sir can be good at it Let's ask the Discord.

I'm sure Discord will tell us. What's 70 kilograms in pounds? In American. In American. In Freedom units. No, it's not 7,000. What's 70 kilograms in 10 pounds? So it looks like James Funn Case has got you on this big viscous, Brian.

So, there you go. 154 pounds? That's a lot. That's weak. Well, my question is, how much can big biceps Brian bench? Oh, that's a good question. Or how big are it? Oh, my God, freedom units.

Yeah. Bro, I lift 10,000 kilograms. Easy work. Yeah, well, it was really into weightlifting in my in my 20s, so I have some some real numbers to see. My max, this is my personal records, well, one rep max. Deadlift was 405. 4.05?

Squat was 315. Jesus Christ, you were yoked. These are in freedom units. America. Oh, you're only talking one rest. I don't know why. And then bench press was 275. Damn

Do you many photos of you are like all yoked out? Dude put him in the Discord Buff Ivan One of my brother-in-law That's a new remote That's a new remote on Slack

One of my brother-in-law is He used to be a professional bodybuilder And he's a doctor So he's like super into nutrition And all this stuff So he literally just wrote down Okay here's what you got to do And like I promise you'll get really swall

I like really He told me what to eat What time to sleep And they worked I mean I did it for 10 years And turned into a real Chad. Ten years. Yeah.

The reason I stopped doing it is because I got hurt. And then I realized. And then you found video games. Well, no. I realized that once you get to a certain age, your body starts changing. So I couldn't do the same thing as I was doing. Like it became really, really hard like to lift heavy weight and push myself. So then I started focusing more on like, I just want to.

to like be healthy. I just go on a walk. You know what it is? Like mid-20s is when your belly happens. And then 30s is when your knees start clicking. 28 was for me, man. When I turned 28, I realized I was old. I could eat, I could literally eat anything I wanted and I would be skinny. And I got to 24, I think it was. And I looked down and I went, what is that? Yeah. My belly, not, you know. Give me that.

There we go. What is that? Buff Ivan. Yeah. I was actually. I was more strong than buff because I was really into powerlifting. My big thing was I just want to be strong. Strong man, they're a thing. I was never like a bodybuilder.

Yeah, I needed a gym for like a year. I couldn't afford it after that. But I was, I don't know what my one rep is, but I was doing like 20 reps of 154. Kilograms. That's in pounds. There you go. To help you out with your simple freedom units. All right.

Let's get another question in here. How are you guys doing on time? by the way. I'm good. Good. I'm a Gucci. Cool. You're Pucci.

Yes, I'm Pucci. Okay. Who has another question here? Who do we trust on here? Yeah. Who do we trust? There's a guy who has a underscore UK in his name. Oh.

Oh, Brahms. You can also type a question if you don't want to be on voice chat. You guys can type them as well. For sure. I think Big Biceps Brian was from the UK. I sense an accent. Maybe. I didn't even pay attention.

Yeah, I think I caught it too. I'm curious how he's actually being able to hit do the hashtag oh that's true he's hacking yeah yeah he plays like a second keyboard jess for something yeah no you're way way way way far from me yeah do we kick them from the channel then we should remind you out of oh no you should make a wanker roll on the server a there's a there's a typed question right there is there anything you hate about DJing besides traveling um yeah uh yeah the music i do i mean i I hate EDM.

Yeah, all of it. No, you know what it is? It is, oh my God, it's the worst thing. So there's a meme where, you know that meme where it's like two people wrestling and there's a guy in the background like playing flute or eating something. You know, it's like. Oh, he's doing the. Two someone's having a big fight.

Yeah, so yeah. So like that, there's a meme of that. And it's one of it says like the two people wrestling is like agents and managers. And then it's like artists is the guy. And it's because agents and managers are constantly fighting for higher places on flyers. And like, who's doing. Spotify views and the other sort of stuff you know there's so many factors to get like a like a better place on a flyer it's so complicated i hate that bit because you can be like somewhere on a

flyer but like why is that guy above me he's not actually as big as i you know and it makes the whole thing what your manager say when you told him you're in being on a podcast can i come and what do you say when you told him no i saw him yes but his doggy is sick oh it's his dog it's sick sad would be here but he's not yeah next time also we put We would have put him on too. We'd start to ask him questions. If he's Canadian, you don't want to hear what Canadians is. What's the most annoying thing about Funcase?

Oh my God. You don't have enough time for that. Actually, I have a question for you. What's it like hanging out with Jared? In real life. You get to eat a lot of expensive food, I guess. That is true. Jared's Twitter at Jared Kim, guys, by me.

Yeah, Joe. He, his life is so random. Like, not random, but it's just like, it's, it's really cool to see like, okay, one night,

like he'll be DJing in his apartment or whatever and there's like people filming him and then the next day he's like at a dinner the next day's at a winery the next day he's like his life is a dream. I'm DJing tonight

with Funcase. I'm hitting play. It's like a lot of like randomness and it. He's living the dream dude. It's cool. He's a bit of all of us, I think.

Jarrett Kim is. We are all Jared. Yep. It's my face. His face. It's actually a mask. Yeah. I could be Jericho.

You could be Jerry Kim. You could be Jerry Kim. Oh, yeah. Free PC. Yeah. He gave away free PC. He said he might give it away. That's true.

Oh. Like personally. Legalese. And that's why you go to college. Yeah. Whoever posted that didn't retweet it. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's true.

Someone has an unmuted mic for some reason. They can be, they can unmute their mic and they're going to affect them. They can't talk in here. here. Oh, I see. Yeah. Not a big deal. Um, yeah. It's a weird, good photos around here. Jared took us for tacos today. Yeah. Yeah, quite expensive. I never felt so, uh, so pampered in my life. They're actually really good tacos. Yeah, I love that. Oh, well, the fish tacos. Yeah, they were good. Taconos. Shutouts. Quite, quite heavy. Did there was social media? I'm sure they do. Because they're a chain. They've got it. I think, I think it's on pop up.

on the Instagram feed. You know, we should, we should start talking them on social media. Free tacos? They send us tacos like DeJono said, oh yeah, DeJrano yesterday sent pizzas to Discord and Discord tweeted, you know, that they got pizzas. So we tweeted it at DeJourno, we see how it is.

And then they said, oh, we'll send you guys some people. Literally, we had 15 pizza show up today. Like, we were out to lunch and Jared goes, wait, why did all these pizzas get delivered here? Like, oh, those are for us. I only thought the office ordered it just for, like, food to have. No, that's true.

And Ivan's like, oh, no, DeJarno. I'm kind of mad because I told them to send 12 pineapple. They didn't have any pineapples. There's no pineapple in there. They didn't deliver them personally. It was their Instacart, and apparently a lot of places with Instacart don't deliver the Hawaiian digital pizza. So I'm like, first off, that sucks. You should fix that.

Second of all, thanks. We'll take 12 pepperoni instead. I have a food-based question also linked to the Discord. There's a guy that called Reese's pictures, Reese's pieces. Do you all you guys like peanut butter? I love peanut butter. Yeah, peanut butter is dope. So I used to love it as a kid and I used to literally eat with a spoon from the jar and eat it and I hate it now, literally.

Interesting. Because you ate it with spoonfuls. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I hate myself to death. Who does that? Who does that matter with you? Recently, we actually had this discussion because he ruined something for me. Did you guys know Paddington Bear isn't real? What?

Spoiler alert. You're a monster. He's not. Paddington Bear is not real. He doesn't. There's not a Pattington bear. in the UK that eats marmalade sandwiches. By the way, can I just point out, marmalade

sandwich? Oh, they are a real thing. I'm no idea what a marmalade sandwich is. It's orange jam. It's literally orange jam. Orange jam with orange pieces in it. So the reason why peanut butter came up because he says,

imagine a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the peanut butter and the jelly is an orange jelly as opposed to like a strawberry jelly. Yeah, literally, yeah. So it's just a strawberry, it's an orange jelly sandwich. I've never had a PV&J by the way.

I've never had one. But that marmalade sandwiches are popular. Mammalette sandwiches are popular in the UK. I actually really like an apple apricot jam I've never had that sounds good though

my dad eats it for like ever I think he ate it when he was like a kid or something it's like we always have a jar What's Nando's? Nando's is a Portuguese Perri Perry chicken

It's amazing It's a well-white chicken Wings It's Portuguese Perri-Perry chicken I never heard What's? Perri is a flavor

Is Nando's a UK thing? They have it here now They have one in Chicago Oh do they? Okay At least Chicago You know how you can make Reese's pieces

taste better Not have pot peanut butter Put him in the fridge Yeah? Like cold, cold candy bars? Oh, no, I'm not a fan. Yeah, not a fan.

You can say this. No, I'm sorry. You know, in Scotland, we deep fried our chocolate bars. Get out of here. You can do that for a state fairs. Like a marr... I don't know. Okay, so a Milky Way here is like what we call Mars bar in England.

And you can, people deep fry them. So they melt the inside and they're crunching the outside. It's a Mars company, all right? It's a same company. Yeah, but yours is backwards because a Milky Way in England is like this white, fluffy, amazing sweet stuff. but Milky Way here is a Marathon bar in England. And a marathon bar, I think is something else.

We call those table rounds. Tablerons. You had Toblerone? Only one said it was all right. I heard that chocolate in UK is much sweeter, right? Yes, it is. It's nice. It's way, dude, it's way nicer.

You know what? Sucks chocolate-wise is Hershey's. Really? Hershey's tastes like cheese to me. Yeah, not even... The jerseys is pretty low tier. No, honestly, if I was to bring you a bar in a bar of cabri's, and I'll bring you a bar of bar.

of Hershey's and you try one after another, you'll be like Hershey's taste like cheese. The worst chocolate is Seas. I don't know how Seas... I like these candies. I used to work at these candies like way back in the day. We offended someone in the podcast. Because a Seas candy box, it's always at risk because I'm always scared I'm going to get that one where that has a coconut inside. That's why you just don't be the coconut and then take a bite.

You're like, darn. That's because you're ordering your candy like a pleb. You got to go up to the counter and tell them what you want. And try every single one. Exactly. Yeah. You can do that. I can choose.

Don't buy you a sword of boxes. This is a terrible idea. Best chocolate, Girodelli. No question. Oh, yeah. No question. Not even for debate. And if you're in San Francisco, you go to that shop, man.

Yeah, honestly. It is the best chocolate for sure. They have a year to San Francisco. Yeah. Do you have a show to plug? I, I, are we doing plugs now? Do I have a show? I'm not.

Without looking at my flyer, I couldn't tell you if it was actually announced or not. Well, I mean, San Francisco is on it. Okay. So you will be somewhere. Well, I mean, People can follow you by manager here now. People can follow you on social for updates, right? Fun case.

But you can, you're playing tomorrow. Oh no, Saturday. Yeah, I'm playing, um, Wobol land.

Wobble land in Dallas. If anyone's from Dallas come down, it's going to be amazing. Yep. When you play, raise your NZXT flag in the crowd. Yes. Oh.

Yes. You get a free. Okay, so, so you know how Steve Oki has the cake thing, right? Yeah. Do you ever want to have a thing that you do?

I want to throw free pieces at everyone. Hey, I already called that one. I want to throw, Honor throw RTS-2080s everyone. Does those soccer balls? That would be amazing. Oh, somebody even posted Lostlands up there.

Oh, there you guys. So they put my Twitter up there. Oh, yeah, Los Lands too, yep. So that's in Columbus, Ohio. This is why he's not able to hang out with me during TwitchCon. Yes. Oh, that's been in Ohio. Okay.

Yeah, I'm not happy about it. Yeah. Speaking with TwitchCon, we're not, we're not really going to be there for like anything, right? It's just for a thing with our partners, right? Yeah, we have a partner thing going on. But we'll be around. And I think a couple booths there will be showcasing our PCs.

So there's going to be a couple partners there doing that stuff. Because people always ask us like, oh, are you going to have a booth that like an ex-convention? But I'm sure if people, I don't know if anyone listening will be at TwitchCon, but I'm sure you can find us. Maybe we'll give out some stickers or something like that. Sure. Cool stuff. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, some walk around in a N-ZX shirt. Yeah. We're in a nomadic sling bag and carrying poo shirt. Find that person that could be a sticker. I have another question for fun case. Yes. Do you like it when we like make fun of you on social media?

I'm all about it. I'm all about it. Keep going. We're friends now. It's fine. We've got this is a verbal contract in the state of California. Yes. Hello,

hello California state politicians. I hereby pronounce that NZXT can abuse me on social media. Thank you. All right. The reason I ask is because even before, you know, we knew who you were messing with you, we were still having fun kind of messing around but you never stopped you know like to this day assumed you liked it it's like it's a scene that you're cool with it it's like his guys keep being mean

to me yeah when we had our intern mike uh like it was just like a thing he's like I'm just gonna reply until fun case replies or whatever like that's when you like uh you know his job replying people on Instagram for the deed was done oh funk is replied all right done let's let's yeah game on game on I think if you look at your, whoever does the social media, if you look at your favorite emoji section or emotes or whatever it is. I think the car and the soccer ball will be in it. Yeah, it'll probably be a purple heart and then a clown in a soccer ball. That's literally our top ones.

Yeah. Sometimes a peach, you know, sinks in there. Maybe, you know, if you get spicy and they can plant the DMs, but that's it. Mine is the goat, because I keep replying to the car soccer emotes with a goat emote. Because... That's a great new. Go with the game, dude. That's a great name for your next album.

Go, emote. Go emote. Gimot. Camote. Kimmo. Do we have any more questions from? Yeah, if you guys have any more questions, please just drop them in the chat. Or if you want to get unmuted, we could unmute you.

Oh, favorite food. Okay. Favorite food? Yeah. I mean, in general or in L.A. or? In general. Just like. Since you've eaten with us, what?

What's your favorite food? Okay, well, I'm a big fan of, like, fat sows. Fat sows in L.A. is amazing. Big sandwich shop. Fat sals? Fat sows, yeah. Shouts to those guys, they hook me up free food, so I'm not, I'm not plugging in, but I also am. Yeah, but that's genuinely one of my favorite.

Have I taken charge? No, I've seen photos of it, but I know you have, like, special treatment there. Yes, sir. He's got a black card from fat sales. Yeah. This is so out there. They're in a north, on North Island in Hollywood. The black card for, like, chain restaurants exists.

it does my friend has one KFC yeah um another friend of mine and was one in Nando's as well it's a thing they do it they do do it is for very special people very special

no wonder what would you uh what would you have in your favorite food um whatever my wife makes ooh good answer good answer hobby she had tested this funny because uh last

she listened to the podcast she does but what's funny she packs my lunch every day right and every day I eat her lunch but every once in a while like we'll go out to lunch like we did today right so I won't eat her lunch for that day

but I'll always take it home but um last week for the reason I just forgot to take the lunch home and she asked me how was lunch and I was like oh crap so I had it I had I had an option yeah I had an option I can tell her I just ate it and it was delicious or I could just say oh sorry I'd eat it today and I forgot it and I chose to lie and it was a big mistake because she could tell right away so I said it was great and she's like what did you have oh she's texting me wrong next to the lunchbox that you forgot. And I'm like, she's like, oh yeah, how was the chicken even though it was like. And I said, you made me a sandwich and it was delicious.

As you said, wrong. I gave you apple slices and a burrito. Busted. And you've been knocked down. So yeah, whatever my wife makes us my favorite. Jared, what's your favorite food? Ooh, it's probably like Korean barbecue. Yes.

You know, I must say, I've had Korean barbecue a bunch of times, but the only time I ever enjoyed it was when Jared cooked it for me. I don't know because you're Korean, but you definitely, it was like a different experience because you knew exactly what to order, went to order, even ordered stuff that had no idea of existed

in Korean barbecue, like this cheesy, like cornbread or something. Yeah, yeah. I think we just went somewhere around here. Oh, really? Yeah, okay. That's what you do.

He knows other spots. Whenever he takes you somewhere, I don't even bother look at the menu. I'm like, right, what we're having today? I mean, took him the Japanese barbecue the other day, and it was like incredible. Oh, wasn't where those things? Yep

glorious Neponese barbecue It was incredible It was craziness I do not I do not lie Yeah

Mike spaghetti I like a kid Is anyone with a mic Someone mentioned here About KFC E Sports is that a thing Yeah they have a KFC They have KFC gaming now

Really I think they follow us on Twitter actually Did they It probably do It's weird Because they paid whoever They paid to do it To wear the Colonel Head

And do a set Ultra as well So they're in DJing They're in gaming I think Yeah, it's really weird seeing all these fast food brands getting into like all these weird Like

I mean two of the biggest growing markets In the planet right now is esports and EDM It's funny because people think it's weird That a computer company is replying to fast food brands Yeah Yeah, it's like why is M60 tweeting at the journal KFC announces Caller Duty tournament Oh my lord, are you serious

Yeah, there we go Finger click and good They have some really good memes Yeah. I think Sweet Chiro had a question. Do you want to... So you have a question? Unmute him. All right, let me see here.

There's Snap for Clown, you prodigy. Okay, I see. So yeah, I'm slowly figuring out how this whole thing works. It should unmute him automatically. He doesn't. So I could have to... All right. No.

I think he has to unmute himself, I think. Sweet, if you want to ask his question, you're able to unmute yourself and speak. So we talks. he definitely talks he talks to me uh when i play destiny snap yes i need to get back on that he only talks to me when when uh he tells me that i suck at something like who is the worst clown you ever met and why is it at n60 club podcast and poppy i guess me and poppy what's the question who is the worst clown you've ever met and why is it dennis and ivan

because it's our job to be clowns yeah yeah it's the job description you know you know You know, actually, I have an entire section on my phone of clown memes. I'm saving. I'm not even joking. The last one you send us with a guy putting on the clown. Yeah, yeah. I saved that one on my phone. Oh, do you?

That's a good one. You should see the folder we have on you. I'm sure. The folder we have on Jared, man. We had to upgrade our Dropbox account to get more storage for you. Sweet, do you have a question for us? I think it does. I think you already asked it.

Anyone else with the mic have a question? We'll unmute you. So let us know. Check our forehead These are all me emotes, that's my picture.

I don't have to pop up here but Oh, the clown emoji, of course. Yeah. If you got my question,

you can re- you can re-ask it, Carl. I have a question for you, fun case. Oh. Yes.

I already asked you what you thought about us, you know, joking around with you on social. Yeah. What do you think

about NC16 in general? Like, I like it. Now that you've noticed for like a year. Okay, so I used, I used to have ties with Razor back, right?

Because I had a contact through Jericho who met the other day, Jerry. Yep. And they did hook me up from three stuff. But they feel very serious and very businessy, you know? And then XIX pops up and everything's like, oh, who's this clown playing Rock League?

You know, I'm like, this is the company for me. There you go. That was it. That's pretty much my exact content. So you're saying Razor is polite and nice to you. And we confuse you. Yeah, and I was like, you know what? I like NX-D-T now, yeah.

So, yeah. Yeah, all of Min-Myang-Tan stuff is all really serious. If you look at his Twitter, but then you look at Jared's and it's like, hey, here's 10 Asian women at a table. Like, you know, things like that. Yeah, wow. Yeah, we definitely like to have a... It's all sus.

More, I guess more fun than, you know, normal, quote-unquote, businesses or companies, corporations, whatever you want to call it. But I think the reason we're different like that is because we've always been like the outsider, right? Like our old office before this one, I wish you would have seen it. It was literally like one room in a dingy warehouse. Yeah, yeah. And the dingy warehouse was covered in anime posters. It was just like you would never in a million years think this was a business.

You'd just be like, what the heck is going on here, right? Like a college kid's room. Yeah, exactly. And then now that we're in this big office and the company is growing like we literally, Literally just hired our first ever human resources employee like a couple of months ago. So it's really a lot of changes happening right now. So give us some time. We'll be boring eventually.

Yep. Oh, great. I Monson wants to know, Ivan, why don't you play Minecraft? I do, but just not, oh. I'm not like a huge Minecraft player, but. The Minecraft nerd. Yeah. Carr wants to know what Funko Pop figure do you have in your cases?

I have none. I don't have any Funko Pops. I have a one-eighth hollow from Spice and Wolf. But so that's like an enemy figure. I have a bolt, a ball boy or two. A ball boy. I think we'll go some street file ones maybe.

Oh, maybe. You know, I have a confession to make about my PC. Oh. Oh. So my PC at home is still, so I give away all these great PCs to like influencers. Right. So like I,

people think I'm just like, I've just got access to all these PCs, right? My PC at home, that is what I use like 90% at a time play all my games. it's an NXTPC. It's actually from BLD, but it's like two and a half years old now, two and a half three years old.

So like, I'm not right, like, I'm giving away PCs to people and hooking up people with PCs that are way better. But you need one yourself. That, what I'm running. And the funny thing is, like, it still runs fine. Like, with 1080 TI and I7 still plays almost,

still plays everything. Pucci. That'd be said, I have like, I have like four monitors and all this stuff. Can we talk about the, the case, have sitting on your desk no okay no don't want to wrap no okay because I saw that and I'm like I walked into work one morning and I saw that case and I was I said I don't

want to ask I let's just say there's a lot of stuff on my desk at work that we can't talk about for sure but we're talking about it we're talking about it but it's top secret hush hush stuff yeah Camilla wants to know you guys planning to open other companies in other countries than the U.S. I'm sitting like other offices or something. The plan is to take over the world. I mean, we do have offices in other countries. But yeah, I think definitely you'll see more and more

of a global presence for the company moving forward. I mean, hopefully right. We're going to translate this podcast in the 50 languages. I just registered to the NZXT UK. Twitter handle. Let's see. Oh, there you go. Mercy Flex.

That's a nice, nice case there. Can Ivan and Den play Minecraft with me someday? Yes, we can. But we won't. I'll play Destiny with you. If there's no question mark in a bit, I'm not going to count as a question. You have a lot of stuff.

N66 Puerto Rico, I'm down. Yeah. It's a nice place to visit. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I was there not long ago, actually. I liked it. You were playing a show?

We're playing a show there. I tried some weird alcohol. I think it was called gasoline or something. Gasoline. Got him. Got this British guy. It was like a slushy or something? It was like an alcoholic slush.

I just read this article yesterday about these guys and girls who nearly died because they were at a Korean barbecue restaurant. And they just get ordering. Soju? Yeah. And apparently I didn't know this until I read this article. Soju has like 50% alcohol content or something. Apparently some of them. Yeah.

Oh, maybe. Some of them like really highlights. I guess some of them are really high. A lot of them are like, like, lichy flavored or whatever, and you can't even tell alcohol. They're saying these people drank the equivalent of like five bottles each or something like that, and they almost had to die. Like, they almost died.

It's pretty crazy. Moral of the story, don't drink too much, sooge. Yeah, there's just a place I went to in Garden Grove where they'll serve you the soju and like a hollowed out fruit. So like if you order pineapple soju, yeah, that's really good. And then like you get little chumps like pineapple in there. It's pretty amazing. When will I join the D2 clan?

What, the Destiny 2 clan? After this podcast, we were sending them. Yeah, I'm throwing an invite. Yeah, it makes sense to build PCs outside of the US. I'm assuming for VLD. I think that's what he's trying to ask. Yeah, it always makes sense to build a computer. Unfortunately, yeah, like we can't ship our computers outside of the US and Canada,

but we will teach you how to build it. It's not harder at all. If we can do it, so can you. Just go in the support channel here and just ask us questions. We'll help you out, man. Yeah, rum slush. Yeah, Minimikado said rum slushy. I think that's what it was.

I think it was literally called gasoline or something. So, yeah, very strange. Are there how to build a PC booklet from NZXT? Aren't there? I actually have a meeting today about that. Oh, really? Yeah. Nice.

At 3.30. Uh-oh. Pretty good on that, then. I have another question for you, Mr. Funn Case. Yes. What did you think about the pop-up? You were there every day. I mean, you saw everything.

What did you think? Yeah, I loved it. Yeah, it was really cool. Very clean, nice in there. Bright white. It was everywhere. I mean, as a gamer, I was in heaven. So, yeah.

The Vertiguer NXT chairs felt good. The NZT was good. Yeah, the NXXT was really good. Yeah, I genuinely, I do not like ice tea and I actually drank that. He literally asked me for NZT when you got here. He's like, do you have any of the NZXT? Yeah, no, honestly, I'm not joking when I say I don't like ice tea and I actually liked it. Yeah, well, I think we have, we have some, I'll give you a box of it.

Yes. I think we literally have like a thousand plus bottles left. I'll take all. Thanks. Don't say enough you are going to be asking you. Oh, yeah. We don't have any. I mean,

are you guys planning to do more in different areas or is it just a one-off? It was just a fun thing. Yeah. You should do more. It was kind of a continuation of a... Sorry with a dumb meme. It was an A4 Fool's joke. No, it was just some dumb meme.

Here, I'll put it up. Yeah. I'll link it. On Twitter, you post it. Yeah. It just is a dumb meme. And then people kept saying it. So we were like,

What if this was a real thing? Yeah. Well, the iced tea thing? Yeah. Oh, right. I mean, it was good. Yeah, we found a company and then we were able just put a wrapper around it. I'm going to drop the link in the chat so you guys can see where.

Yeah, no, you guys did a good job with that. It was genuinely the only nice idea you've ever had to. It started with this. The format is broken there, but if you click it. Yeah, if you click on it, it looks pretty cool. It was that, right? Yeah. It was just a meme that was going out.

It's a ramen bowl. February 2019, too. Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was a quick thing. But yeah, after this tweet, which the tweet didn't even get that big, honestly, 1,000 likes is nothing. But everyone came saying NZXT, NZT, NZT, NZT,

and we just did it. And it actually worked. I can't believe it. Nielke wants to know who's the biggest clown in NZXT. Everyone's looking around, like, who do we point out? Well, I don't work here, so I'm good. Well, congratulations. Here's your paperwork.

your clown well define a clown everyone has I mean you you guys are special special special special special special what's the word specialist there you go it's hard to think

I'd say I mean honestly if anyone had it in their job description to be a clown it would be you guys it's part of it for sure yeah yeah yeah the you know when when we were looking for Dennis's position here that was one of the requirements

is we got to find someone that's funny but that's just part of it you know A clown also has to write a routine, right? A clown also has to go to work every day. A clown also has to be funny. The clown also has to be a gamer if you want to work here. So there's a lot of it that goes into a clown besides just putting on a red nose and wearing squeaky shoes.

Hocking around town. Do you guys see the Nintendo Direct thing yesterday? No, I didn't see it. I've seen the summary of it, though, in writing. What did you guys think of it? Super Nintendo games. That's pretty dope. I get to pay Zelda.

Are you going to get the special controller? I have one already. I really? By a third-pipe company and it feels amazing in its wireless. I forget what it's called, but it actually feels amazing. But yeah, I mean, if it feels more, it doesn't, it feels really good. It doesn't feel like the original one. If Nintendo have made it feel like the original Super Nintendo controller, I'm all for it.

I don't mind spending 50 bucks, 30 bucks, 100 bucks, whatever. Yeah, because like theirs is like 30 bucks. Yeah, that's modest. I was really surprising. It's like the pro controller is like $80. or some crap like that. I know it's kind of mad. I keep forgetting to take a picture of my controllers.

I probably have more controllers than anyone in this office for sure. And yes, because yesterday you asked me, are you going to get the controller? I'm not allowed to. My wife literally would not let me buy another controller. But it's not an S&S controller, though. And maybe it feels just like the old one, like nice and clicky. Yeah, but I literally have eight Nintendo Switch controllers. And I'm the only one.

Oh, I forgot you guys, the Americans say S&ES. We say SNES in England. Snez. Why is NES, yes, isn't it? I hear SNAS every now then. SNAS, yeah, that's what we say. It just sounds weird because it's not what it's called. Yeah, it's weird because it's wrong.

Yeah. That's what I was saying. Nexxed. Nzcht. Yeah, I was actually surprised that they announced Doom 64 for Switch, which was like the weirdest thing ever. It's not a bad game. It's just like one of the like forgotten children

of like the Doom franchise is Doom 64. Wasn't that, was it that popular? Sorry? Was it that popular? No, the Doom 64. No, really? I don't think so. I think that's why it's a choice.

Yeah, yeah. I just think Doom in general, I mean, it's an iconic franchise, right? Like, yeah. And I think the Switch, since they have all these other Doom games, might not just put the other one in there. Yeah, I mean, they're re-releasing everything, aren't they? I've got most of the Doom stuff on Steam now. Yeah, a lot of games I have on my PC,

that I've played a lot when they come on on the Switch, I get super excited because I can play it on my Switch. So the perfect example is Hotline Miami, which I love on PC but man, playing it on the Switch is so much better. It's just the perfect Switch game for me. I was in L.A. at the

Fairfax Swatmeat. Do you know that one, Jerry? Yes. Down at the high school. And I was rummaging through this old Mexican lady's box of stuff. There was loads of random Atari games and stuff at the bottom was a rare copy of Doom for the 32X. I didn't find a copy of like Jared's CD there.

No, yeah. Big tape. No, I found a rare copy of a Doom for the 32X. She sold it to me for $2 and it was like 200 bucks on eBay. Dang. I was like, you sold to keep it. No, I kept it.

No, I have a really massive retro game collection at home. Really? I was actually going to ask about that because you guys are talking about like vinyl and like keeping like older older music, right? But like, I feel like, especially with gaming, a lot of people are just buying everything digitally.

Yeah, so I, so I, so, Pretty much, when I grew up, all we had was the original Nintendo. Right. We had something before that called a Grandmaster or something like that. It was like Pong, but in different ways of playing it. It was terrible. And then after that, we didn't, we couldn't really afford any of the consoles from then on. So I pretty much just had one console for like 10 years.

And then when I became fun case and money started coming in, I was like, I can buy all these amazing old consoles now. So now I have the Atari Jaguar, which obviously no one could afforded back in those days when it was 32 X's before, whatever it was. and I have pretty much everything apart from maybe two. I don't have the Sega Saturn and I don't have the master system yet. Do you have a dreamcast? Yep, I have two. I regret selling my dreamcast. There's some good games on that.

House and the Dead was really good. The other thing about Dreamcast, and I'm ashamed to admit this because it's illegal, but it was very easy to just bootleg games. So I literally had like every single Dreamcast. That's only because I couldn't afford it. That wasn't because I wanted to. I'm ready to put the boot disc and there was like a little reindeer.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Slaver wants to know your hype for Sands and Smash. I don't know what Sands is. I'm a big fan of the new smash, but I don't know who Sands is. Yeah, neither do I. They're going to hate us. I'm excited for Terry Bogart.

Big Gamer is my A. He's excited for SNS. Snets. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, SNS. Uh-oh. I think he's angered the Reddit. Yeah, the, uh, Undertail.

Man, I don't care about Undertale. Oh, yeah. They put, they added the, yeah, the Sans from Undertale into it. The bone daddy. They had a bone daddy on there. They also added the dude from... Terry Bogart, my friend.

That's the one that really matters. Forget Sands. It's all about Terry Bogart. Neo Geo back in the day. Neatio is a goody. Oh, there we go. It looks cool, though. Yeah, no, he looks cool.

He doesn't know how he'll be any good, but he looks cool. Yeah. Well, it's a, it's a, he's like a Wii fighter or me fighter skin, so it's not actually like a separate character. Oh, really? Okay, well, I was actually about to ask you guys, who's your favorite on Smash to use? When I was a kid.

Kirby? Kirby does look at. Playing like Smash 64, my favorite was Link. Link. Yeah, because I always thought Link was badass. But now, like, I like Ricker and Simon from Castlevania because Castlevania is like my favorite game franchise. All right.

Well, my favorite to actually use in Smash is me for me, so far. You know what's funny? I was in, I was at E3 with Jared. And I don't think we were hanging out at one point. And I went to go watch this Smash Brothers event. They put on or something. And there was these kids from Dallas and this other kid from some other region

apparently Dallas are killing it or something and they got to the final and this kid was like screaming he was screaming his lungs out when he won and everything like they were freaking out and they were like oh the winner of this is going to get some some cool swag and then like this kid literally won screamed his lungs out like all his friends

were clapping going crazy and then he got on stage and they gave him a hat oh my god this kid looks so at E3 he was inside E3 yeah his shoes were squeaking as he was honestly his face drops after that.

That makes sense because Nintendo is really weird with their like e-sports and like their competitive gaming thing. Yeah. And like smash outside of like Nintendo is like one of the biggest like games. Yeah. Like like I don't call smash a fighting game

but if you were to call it fighting game, it's sort of the biggest fighting game. Like it had the most interest at Evo. Yeah. It was like top top game at Evo this year. And like yeah, the smash community goes super hard. They did a good job with the new smash.

I didn't really pay it too much in the game queue but I did enjoy it. No, it's great. lot of content. It's like a million characters, right? Like, literally. There's no, there's no frame drop to anything. Literally everyone is here. Well, actually, might be other names, but not like that. All right, guys. So, we've had this for a little bit.

We're going to go ahead and call it this time. I want to thank Fun Case for being here and hanging in with us. Of course, it's been great. Thanks for talking, buddy. Yes, sir. I guess we'll thank Jared too. Thank you. You guys are welcome. He's important.
