I got that lunch Lee and feastables. I got that lunch. No, I was going to say. I got some YouTubers I can call. Oh, now we're going. We weren't even going yet. You weren't even going we're going. We weren't even going yet. We weren't even going yet. Should I say it again?

You can say it again. I got that lunch, the infeasibles. What is that a spoof of? I'm sorry. Is it DJ Got Us Falling In Love? I got that good cushion alcohol. I didn't know that. You know what's funny? I've only ever heard that spoken.

You've just been around a lot of people who want the good cushion alcohol about what they're on that, but they're not singing. Long as my Mr. Beast loves me. I was thinking about becoming the next e-buy. Wow. You guys think this is a good idea? Well, no, because you're Greek.

So you're already off to a terrible start Wow That is so intolerant. Okay, so because he's Greek. He can't have the job. He wants are you saying that's crazy famously unemployed the Greeks He's saying that because of my heritage. Yeah, I can't achieve my dreams. I think that's what I'm saying Yeah, I can't achieve my dreams. I think that's what I'm saying. Yeah, guy who wants to move to Sweden. Guy who wants to move to Sweden. I don't think you should do something like that's not your birthright.

No, you don't need the job because the government pays you money. The government pays you and that's not your bloodline. I haven't worked 20 days. I just play Counter-Strike. You can't be in Fortnite if you're Greek. They send someone to behead you. There has to be at least one Greek Character in fortnight is dr. Doom Greek. I

Don't think so. Maybe it's a what ethnicity is dr. Doom from the comics But yeah, I think I was thinking about this I think I can make it happen I just have to I already speak kind of some good Spanish Yeah, and I can capture the South. I just have to, I already speak kind of some good Spanish. Yeah. And I can capture the South American audience. Right. And I love soccer. Famously so.

So. And they all call it soccer. And I know what you guys are thinking. Well, Monty, that's so close. Oh, shit. Look, I know what you guys are thinking out there. It's like, oh, empty Ludwig chair, and your mouse is like slowly going up

to click out of the episode. Well, I had an idea to make them not click, click out. Don't click out. Archie has hit a single frame of a Chipotle gift card in this episode. So it's actually real. It's real. It's in there. You got to look for it. So, you know, you're probably already too late if you're listening to this realistically, statistically, statistically, so what will probably happen? There's maybe another one.

Someone heard the audio version of this and they said, I'm camping out the release. Yeah, it's a it's a miscellaneous amount of money. It could be a lot. It'd be a little, but it will buy you one. It'd be so crazy, because if you spent the fucking two hours, it might take you to find the frame in this video. You could have just gone and mowed a lawn. No, no, no, you can speed it up like my god.

I bet there is an AI that can do this function. Species kids are dropshipping now, dude. This is third monitor when they get this. Yeah, you don't get it. We're not even second monitor anymore. Are you kidding me? We're on the vertical monitor. We're on the vertical one boxed into a half of a vertical monitor.

I'm in the same corner as like a monitor that is mostly mostly Alibaba. It's usually Alibaba corner of the vertical monitor. I'm in the same corner as like a monitor that is mostly Alibaba. It's yeah, no. Mostly Alibaba. No, we're in the corner of the Discord monitor that's like in the 9,000 servers you're in. Oh, great, kiddo. You're in a furry role play server. That's great.

Aw, dude. Everyone look down at their Discord. Aw, ew. Wait, hold on. Yeah, get the, you have an NSFW channel. Dude, dude, dude. That's gross. She's nuzzling your neck, dude?

Like, oh, what are you gonna reply? Dude, you put italicies around the words and you need to get out. You need to go outside, dude. COVID did a number on your little brain, didn't it? Fuck. That's right. So there's some free Chipotle in this episode,

so, you know, think again before you click away. Also non-sponsored, and to prove it, Chipotle has human feces and every bit of meat that they serve. Yes, that's Chipotle promise. That's the Chipotle promise and that's why I cold-factor me No, no, no That's good, bro You know what I fucking I'm worried sick. What do you worry? It's a dude You know all right. I can't think about us. We jest about the paramotor and he posted a video Did you see his vote is paragliding?

I hate this everyone is tagging me. Yeah, everyone is going my bullshit Here's something dude is paragliding. He's doing the thing. It's gliding. Yeah fucking different. He's gonna do an idiot He's gonna die. Yeah, we're all gonna die. I saw there was no motor. He's still gonna die. We're gonna be out of a job. He literally didn't. We wouldn't be out of a job.

We'd be out of a job. We've proved that we can be funny without him, which is the only... How high does paragliding go? High as a mountain, brother. Really? Think about that. I mean, it seems like it's as dangerous as paramotoring. Paragliding is not as dangerous because you eventually will just land.

Paramotoring is dangerous because if the mechanics fail, you fall out of the sky. If the mechanics fail, don't you still have upwind? Can't you just like... But if you're... No, hold on. If you're paramotoring... When you paramotor, don't you still have like a parachute thing? Yeah, that's my understanding.

Yeah. Well, then why didn't that guy who fell out of the sky just use his parachute? Yeah. Like, then why didn't that guy who fell out of the sky just use his parachute? Yeah. Like why was he crazy? Are you saying are you trying to say there's no paragliding accidents? Can I I'm not saying that obviously. Can I see a picture of a pair? You also can I bring up a picture of a paramotor? I machine zipper.

Thank you. I want to see what the machine looks like. And if it has some sort of thing on it. Is it just a big fan? What has a higher- You don't even know what it is? What has a higher injury rate? I've seen a couple pictures, I can't remember.

No, they're holding on to a, uh, uh, thing. I think you got something, you got like a parachute thing above you, and then the motor is strapped behind you. Yeah, right, bitch. That's a paramotor. Yeah. Dude, it's in his hand.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's, he's holding the thing. Look in the first one. Yeah, right, bitch. That's a paramotor. Yeah, dude, it's in his hand. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's he's holding the first one. Yeah. Dude, what are you talking about? You look at my am I crazy? Can we see footage? Page is when he says build and fly a paramotor. Yeah, he's like a pack. And then and then you have the fucking thing that helps you flow. And they have all those fucking strings.

I've watched them fly. They have like all. Oh, yeah. That's like a parachute thing. That's how they land, your brother. Yeah, I think that, I don't know man. It's basically the same. I don't think it is. Except it's slow. Slow.

What Ludwig's doing is slower. You gotta detach from the fan if it fails. I played- Like a rocket ship coming to Earth. I played Pilot Wing 64 and that is a para- yeah, thank you Zipper. If you could bring up that. That's a paraglide, and that is different. I've played Superman 64, and you just kinda- you try to go through the rings.

You think he was trying to go through them damn rings? Just- and there's nothing else but the rings. Can we do some quick math? Can you look up paramorter- paramorter? Paramorter! Paramorter, that would be a good idea. That- Ludwig's actually not coming back. I didn't even have... If that's what it is.

It's one of those subconscious genius ideas. Like one of those kind of like you have to be born with a brain like mine type ideas. And you can like have a concert in the sky like Fortnite. Hayley Williams flying through the air. And she's the paramotor instructor. And you are the novice. Oh, and she's teaching me that, that guess what sweetheart? That you're a whore

You're a whore and nothing more and I say thank you Haley That's long when she was 17. I know she actually regrets she's talked about that. She's like I regret it Yeah, she doesn't say the line anymore. Just a lie anymore cuz slut shaming is bad. What'd she say now? She says eat it chillies She's a Southwest egg rolls are half off right now. How many paramotor deaths are there a year? And then I want to see the math per capita. All right. I want to know how likely it is. My friend comes back from this trip.

Bro. He's already done. It's not like what they're posting posthumous picture right now. I like the idea that Ludwig perishes in a paragliding accident. They keep posting pictures of him that they took earlier to be like, hey, I'm good. Like a fake. Connor's in the RV. He's like, we need a way to salvage the vibes.

Like we need to fucking make sure this stream so pops and they just. No, one point three paramotor deaths per year. That's great. There's two. It's so safe It's safer than normal flying how many paragliding deaths are there? These numbers aren't don't because I'm probably more people para client by a lot. Yeah, I always gives half the Yeah, that's over 17 years. Twenty three people have died. Yeah, and a pair of gliding deaths. These are like it's funny because like paramotoring. Twenty one percent of these deaths were due to drowning.

You just do. I went swimming with a big fan. You just tanking it into the water and then and then drowning because the metal is dragging you down. This pisses me off, because what this means is that hoverboats aren't real. Because hoverboats operate on the same logic of a giant fan Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, as the second biggest reason that there's paramotor accidents. Are you involved in this? Wait, what does that mean? That just means they're going into power lines, bro.

But why is the equipment malfunctioning? Is that what we mean? Why would I say equipment? I don't know. I think maybe this is like this is dead Internet. But for robot guys, guys who are trying to fly into like a nuclear power plant for superpowers They try to fly into the big cylinder Oh we got another one They want to go in it

It's all concrete in there, they think it's big green goop They think it's like Mario's tube No, it's actually, guys, it's just steam It's just hot water Driving into the hot water cylinder and just scalding your face bones off, just screaming and screaming. Paragliding accidents, probably a lot more popular. Also, because I keep asking for paragliding accidents. He keeps highlighting a different pair of motorings.

He wants us to see he's trying to educate us. He closes the screen slime. So what's that? He always closes the screen. I don't know why he loves the black screen. So I want to talk to him about it. I don't know what what loves the black screen so much. I want to talk to him about it. What makes you feel comfort here, Zip? Maybe the last Yard episode will be all of our grievances. We'll sit him in a chair, he can't talk.

It'll piss everyone off. We'll just air it all out. I can say, listen, listen, Zip. Yeah, look, here's the thing about Ludwig. I've sent him a couple of messages here and there. I asked him, I asked him actually a pretty important question about the bidet business, which took him forever to get. I had to tag him and I said, OK, wait, this is para paragliding.

One 10,000 per year. We'd have to know how many people actually point eight injuries per 1000 participants per year. We would have to know how many people actually. 10.8 injuries per 1000 participants per year. Fatality of 0.46 per 100,000 flights. That's 46 deaths a year. One in every 200,000 people die. It actually is much safer than flying. Is it?

Yeah, because it said the other one, what it said there were double digits death per year but there weren't that many like flights or participants most accidents occur during takeoff and landing I think that's a cheeky way to say crashing into the fucking ground by the way because they're all land if you die if you die

paragliding and takeoff just it just that's on you yeah that's on you. Yeah, come on. That's on you. What do you do? So I message Ludwig and I was like, I said, do you ever use the bidet too harshly and you get this shit from your asshole onto the back of your balls and have to wipe the shit from your balls? And then he didn't reply in a minute.

And so I attacked him and I said Ludwig. And I said at Ludwig. And then he didn't reply in another minute. So I so I googled time in Japan and screenshotted it to make sure I knew that the time in Japan was like realistic. Make sure he knew that you knew. It was 446 p.m. And then he finally replies and says no.

And I replied with a cap emoji. So this is the kind of shit I'm dealing with. I don't think he's going to come back from Japan. No. Of course he's coming back. Do you think he's over there and like he's with like Connor and who else is he with right now? Chris Broad. And they're sitting around and he's like walking them all scared like a dog.

And he's like, hey guys, sorry, I didn't reply earlier. And they're like, oh, dude, it's all good. No, no, it's all good. Man, he dealt with this. Well, it's some ramen and some delicious fucking fish that looks like it's from a cartoon. And you eat it and will be in the beautiful countryside. I know what you're saying, but he pisses other people off, too.

And that's what makes me feel validated. You saw one clip of Goner being kind of frustrated. His face and no Goner was not kind of, he was just like, dude, and then he's going to say, what's up, baby? And it's not going to feel good. And then it was and I was like, it's fine. He he does this to everyone. So I don't have to feel bad.

I think that they are easy going, though, because you kind of have to be because they're also content creator, like daemons, right? They got evil worms in their head. I think they have the Japanese hospitality. Yeah. So they're extremely nice to him, but then extremely infuriated in their mind? Yes, but they can't release it.

Yeah. Yeah, and they go to pay for time in a room where you can break a computer. In the Smash room. Yeah. I want to see Connor man. I want to see him at his wits end. I want to see everything I've been saying Lux voice lines. That's because funny to me. That's great I want to see everything like this era. You really are you were kind of built to be a riot games guy Why cuz he dude? Played to you. Yeah, but we're going to main one you

played Valorant you would just like you said in chat the other day you should run to me when someone was being annoying in chat you you like that one's kind of you like you like the characterization I like I do like it I like when Cypher takes his hat off and he's bald. Yeah, and he looks like a grape. You like Tom Kenshin. You like everything. He's like Tom Kenshin, Cypher man. You called me two nights ago and she was like, she was like basically asking if they can use the yard set to record something. And I was like, yeah, I don't care. And she was like really, really, really grateful for this. Yes. Which I felt was very easy to make it. I didn't think I really went out of my way to do anything.

And then last night, she calls me again and she's like, she starts the call. And she's like, yeah, so I just got a phone with Ludwig. And I was telling him how nice it is that like you are letting us use the yard. Say it's like so sweet and so endearing. And I couldn't believe it. You said I was like talking you up so big. I was wondering if we could use it more. And I was like, well, I'll kind of erase

all the good favor you've built up with me if I say no, right? And she's like, oh, I realize it's extremely manipulative. I'm so sorry. I saw what I was doing. And she tries to like walk it all back. And I'm like, no, it's all good. I see your strategy, but you can use it.

Wait, wait, what is this? What are they doing? Buttering Nick up? I don't know. I think that's funny. I'm curious now. It is funny though, because it is so low lift in the sense that it's like, yeah, it's like, I just,

you know, I just won't be here. I'm on my phone like this, I'm like, yeah, sure. And she's like, I'm just so grateful, and I'm like, yeah. I want to say no for the sport. No, I'm just so grateful. And I'm like, yeah. Yeah. I want to say no for the sport. No, I think you won't. I didn't get a call that so I got to text. I got to text. So you need approval.

So that's kind of interesting. She did him zipper at 2 30 a.m. I got my course. It's time to go to the dentist. So I'm going to be like, no, I'll tell her no. And we'll just see what she does. Do you think this is a good idea? Yeah. Yes DM her and say I heard your request you need board approval I am one third of the board. How can I fence it this situation?

I'll just like I'm a little iffy on it, but uh I'm ultimately okay try to get like a snack out of it Oh, like I'll say yes for a snack. I could be bought Kitty I would like you to pick me cookies. I wanted to- Wafers! Nilla. I want to borrow your dog. I want to borrow your dog for a week. I'd like your dog. I want to hold your dog up while it shits on your floor. I want to squeeze the poop out of your dog. I want to feel like I'm doing it. I won't need to squeeze that hard. I know this from experience. I know this from experience. Your dog poops very easily. There's a button. It's like, it's like toothpaste coming out of that guy.

There's a button under the fur. It's kind of comes out like a liquid. The chip that you installed in your dog has other features. It runs on Ubuntu. She's in your Ubuntu. I can tap into the chip and I can make your dog do tricks like backflips and screaming like a man. I want to make auto type code into your dog.

How does that make you feel? Can I code your dog? Let me code your dog. Let's make a thing on the set where they when they sit down, it a trap door unleashes. I'm going to make a I'm going to code the dog instead of chasing cars. It chases Bitcoin. I'm going to and it gets me a bunch of Bitcoin. I'm going to. Oh, dude.

I'm going to code your dog to get me a bag. Yeah, dude, because fuck it. I'm gonna code your dog to get me a bag. Yeah, dude cuz fuck it talking treats Aiden I'm just talking about money. Let's make it. Let's make them fall down a pit in dog But still going we used it we used to you reminded me because of the trapdoor Do you do you think the people that live in that house now have gotten injured from the set? Do you think they use this? I don't I think about that sometimes. Why would they get injured?

It's just a ladder. Well, you can climb a ladder and then maybe fall down like it. There was already a ladder. Having a ladder in your house is not really normal, right? So I think it's I don't think it's easy to imagine someone maybe falling or something. You think their dog's falling down the trap? Oh, God, I hope so.

I was out there using that to like a yard for their dog. They're not their dog's fallen down the trap door in the attic? Oh god, I hope so. I hope they're using that as a yard for their dog. Their dog's like pissing and shitting. Just keep the dog in the attic. Yeah, we'll keep the dog in the attic. They have the dog shit in the attic. Next to the asbestos. And it just looks like Asmongold's house. I heard he cleaned his kitchen.

Yeah, he cleaned his kitchen and everyone's giving him like raucous applause. What's that, boy? What's that, boy? You found a Samsung blue line watch up there in the asbestos? Oh, wow. Do you think I have I'm slime right now? I haven't looked at any of the photos or anything or I don't I don't you know, I don't keep up with Aspen heads.

As we've gone off of no information, assuming it's only a photo of the clean room. Do you think he paid someone or did he did it? Well, he said he didn't. So it's like we did. He posted a photo of his clean room. he post he posted a photo of his clean room Yeah, he posted a photo of his kitchen I dirty-ass kitchen and then a picture of it clean queen and everyone was like you did it your hog you did it Good job. Yeah, good job for doing that. Did he actually do it?

I don't know Here's a point in the he didn't get someone to clean the apartment is that they probably would have done his room, too Unless it was an all day job. It looked pretty gross. Dude, he should have got one of those Tiktokers that goes to hoarders houses and like cleans them. Have you seen those? Oh, nice little cola. Yeah, like it'll go to like these like usually white women will like go to like

like hoarding houses and it'll be like this nice royalty free music. And they're like they're wearing gloves and they're like shoveling slush and like bugs and poop and like and like gifts that they were never given to like in cups and like glasses into like trash bags and they clean it all. The home's probably already been given away to the government or something. The male version of this is that is the lawn care videos on YouTube. Guys mow lawns for free. Girls clean houses for porters. I don't think cleaning up absolute horde slop is a very like.

One is one is definitely harder. Yeah, one's definitely like more gross and nasty. Yeah, like the lawn care thing is the idea is you do it for free and then you put post a tick tock and then your business blows up. But like, I don't think posting your like you don't want the horde cleanup business to blow up. So the fuck that's that's the same thing yeah but I guess if you hire someone else to do it at least on the labor but it's like YouTube lawn care side they're getting the because some of these channels are pretty big and

they're getting adsense and every video is like 45 plus minutes long that's crazy oh dude they rake and I think I think a lot of the game too is like like daughters and sons of parents who have been hoarders for a long time and they're like We can't afford to have someone fix it if you could come and help us Yeah, and they get like a story out of it and then their business gets bigger. I mean, it's a win-win They got a kind of- it's a little weird, but it's a win-win I don't think it's terrible, right? The Nami figurines from One Piece are like just encased in like a block of cum.

Dude, it's... Have you seen that video? Like... like a... like a Shungite brick. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you take it out and it's like... My god, it's a mold. It's a cast mold. That sucks, bro. Uh, what was I gonna say? Oh, I lost it. Sorry, I did that

I saved over your memory. Yeah I'll get there. Yeah, I thought that video of the guy who asked who gets a PC repair person to come to his house But he's filled his computer with beans Yeah, that's a great idea How did these get in there? And the guy's looking at him like, these are beans? And he's like, they are? Oh, wow, that must mean something's real wrong. I don't think, I actually don't think I have the blood to sit through a prank like that.

No, I don't like deceiving people that much. It's funny, that's why I don't like watching Nathan for you and shit. It feels wrong. It's so awesome. But I feel like Asmongold's house is like, it's like the beans guy, but it's with roaches and he's genuine. He's like, oh, dude.

I thought all our Starforged PCs had roaches. Dude, oh my God, they dropped that. The Starforged PCs thing, it was like we had Starforged believe in inclusivity. And it's like, dude, like a child. I made that graphics card. How many times are we going to do this? How many times is just like, just say, yeah, that's a bad look. We're cutting ties by our computers.

Because at the end of the day, you don't care if a racist buys your computer. Maybe like some badass, like Japanese denim that has like a patch of their apology on it. Dude, that's hard, bro. That'd be sick. I'm saying, hit my line if anyone. Dude, no, they get a homeless guy off the street and they tattooed the apology on his back. Yeah. Full back piece.

That'd be sick, bro. Yeah. And it's like, I get it, you have to do things like this, but I'm so tired of like the- Stand by and align ourselves with those around the world seeking. I feel like I read this and the only thing I could think of is like, I could write a banger. I think I could do it. Just hire me to write a banger next time you have like a guy

talking about like just smiting another culture because they're impure. Just putting no Greeks in the middle of the world somewhere. Except for the Greeks. What's that? What do you mean by no Greeks? Was that a typo? Not a typo. Not a typo is part of the good. Hold on. What's that? What do you mean by no Greeks? Was that a typo? Not a typo. Not a typo is part of the statement. Pretty firm on the statement.

Imagine it's like, we at X company, we stand for equality and diversity and unity, except for Greeks. No Greeks. We do not. It's the only part that's a human voice. It's all AI. No Greeks.

It's hands across the world, but just like everybody else is chill. Hands across the world, but just no Greek people. We are tired of this. Some guy who's just really mad about the bailouts and like the 2010s. Dude, you see, they say there's a, someone in CSGO there's like a Greek flag painted

on a CSGO asset and they just shot it up and they were like, fuck Israel. It's so funny. They have the same color scheme. You guys want to hear about my somewhat pathetic rabbit hole of Call of Duty modding I've been on? Yeah.

So you're a boy modding journey? I've been slightly privy to this. What's your boy modding journey? So it all starts with PSL. Because we ran into this problem and ladies feel free to go to the next episode. It's not out yet but you just go back one whatever you did it do 15% breaks not the cum block with Nami encased in it going like this like Han Solo women love cum they're always Your Nami doll before you unlock her in her case of cum,

fuck it, I love you. And you imagine her saying, oh no. It's just his imata. If you were real, you'd love this world. So, I'll start with PSL, where we're having this problem, because everyone wants to use their original Xbox accounts, and even if we had new Xbox accounts this would be a problem.

But whenever we log in at Call of Duty, no one has anything unlocked. And so we were like, oh, we need a way to quickly, on console, unlock all the guns so that we can play competitive formats. Because old Call of Duty's before Black Ops 1, they don't just give you guns when you're playing private match. So I was like, well, there's a modded Xbox called a JTAG, and if you have it, you can do anything, son. And I had one of these when I was a kid. I didn't really know how to use it though,

because it was kind of confusing and I broke it. So I was like, okay, I get one of those. And also, oh, guilty pleasure, big reason I wanted to get one was you can play, Call of Duty Pro Mod was like a PC mod, it's like PM. It's like a modified version of COD 4. It's like slightly more competitive, higher move speed, FOV changes, rule sets, et cetera.

And people on console back in the day would make mods to simulate Pro Mod. It wouldn't have the rules, but it'd have like the FOV shift and the color shift and it'd look really cool. It would just make playing on your console really cool. And I was like, oh, I'll just buy a JTAG and I'll just like go download a patch

for one of these that people made and I'll just play this and it'll be fun. And it wasn't like that at all. It was awful. It was, I bought a JTAG and then I quickly learned that all of the forums for how to do this are from 2011. Most of them are dead. All of the mediafire links are dead. They don't- Yeah, but Make Happy was a bad idea. They don't point to- they don't point to any of the files anymore. And all the community members back then were gatekeeping their code.

Like everything that they made. So the way that you give someone a Call of Duty infection patch is you have a JTAG, a modified Xbox, you host the file on it, and then you system link to your retail Xbox, and then you infect yourself by joining a private server with that modified Xbox.

And then your retail Xbox now won't be banned but has the infected patch. And then you can go give it to a friend by them joining your lobby. Because if you are using the JTAG Xbox online, then they can detect that something's fucked and they'll ban that account. And there's ways around that.

There's these things called KVs and you can buy them. You have to replenish them when they get banned. You can go back online. But if you want to do it without getting banned and just being completely offline, you just infect yourself and then you can infect people on your retail Xbox. And I thought this would all be extremely easy. It wasn't long story short.

It was really hard to figure out how to connect to my own Xbox, etc. And then I was like, well, how do I... If I'm going to make a Pro Mod Patch, I have to do it myself, I think, because I can't find one that looks the way I want it to look, or looks like any of the ones I used to have. You were saying that people will stop. They'll be like, you have to use my host, right? Yeah, what they'll say is, back in the forums, is they'll be like,

like, I made an infection patch. Join my gamer tag by private chatting me on Xbox and joining my session in progress if you want it And they were doing that for like a week, and then they never did it again They never released the file and then sometimes in the comments. They'll be like yeah, I'm never releasing this yeah And there's no other way to get it There's no other way to get it you say you also had to leave your Xbox on to have it Yeah, so if you if you don't have a J tag if you're someone who has an Xbox and likes using

Infections and you get infected, the second you turn your Xbox off, you don't have it anymore. Or even if you just go to the dashboard. That's really funny. Because the way I, I hit up auto, this is what happened. I hit up auto and I said, auto, read this forum. Tell me what it means.

Computer, translate. Or else I will get dangerous. And auto is reading, and all the Call of Duty stuff, it's like, I think it's like a proprietary language that's like based off of C++. And it's like slightly different. But, you know, and they have like the community built programs to open Call of Duty files are called fast files. Right.

And and the programs for the older games, dude, it took me so long to just get a copy of the program to open the files. It took that was like a day to just get one of the programs that someone made that works, because most of them just don't work. You open them and they're like one, they all read as Trojans to the ones that I did download. They just don't open files. You drag a file in and it goes error. It's like, OK, I don't even know why it's so much. I finally found I had to go. I had to go to, a like 85 view YouTube tutorial for something else that happened to use the same program to find the program.

This is what you're doing. This is what I'm doing. This is what you're doing at five in the morning. He was up so late doing this last night. This is what you're doing. I was up so late. I think I got up in the middle of the night to pee and I heard Nick working on this

Which was him just screaming at Otto to tell him what it means Otto figures all this stuff out so fast. He's like looking at it. He goes, okay. Yeah, I see what's happening What they're doing is the way these infections work is they are tricking call of duty into loading the map That's like it normally does but when it the map, you put all of your code right after the name of the map in the code. Because it arbitrarily loads everything you put with the name of the map. So it's like you're playing on Crash. Also you're playing all of these mods.

It just loads them all. Crash plus Big Titty mod plus Big Head mod. And that's why back in, I never knew this as a kid, but when you have an infection in Call of Duty 4, your map is just a checkerboard. And I was like, why is it a kid, but when you have an infection in Call of Duty 4, your map is just a checkerboard. And I was like, why is it a checkerboard when you're infected? Because you're riding over the map, and that's where the map picture goes. So it doesn't know where the picture is because you've changed the name of the map.

I was like, oh, interesting. If you wanted to, you could inject like some big ass titties. You can put titties there. Yeah, I love that. Much like modern Mario Kart Wii, where you take a file, you know, you want you want Peach to be naked on the bike, you know. How old is Peach? You know why?

You know why that gets really tricky, though? Because she's a minor. That's the damn why. Not the Peach part. The titty part. Peach is in her 40s, surely. I would hope so. Mario is a plumber. I don't know about you. I know no plumbers under 18 I'm talking about Peach, right? That's all I'm saying. Well, they have sex so

That's your problem to do it Mario and Peach age got problematic the legal age The legal age in the Mushroom Kingdom It's like Germany. Don't ask Nintendo. Nintendo Japanese company. Is that why? The Mushroom Kingdom? Age of consent? It's like Germany. Don't ask Nintendo. Nintendo, Japanese company. Is that why Bowser kidnapped her? He wanted to change the age of consent? No, he wants to make it 18 again.

He's the hero? Yeah, he wants to go back up. Mario is trying to fuck up. Bowser was a good guy the whole time, dude. Oh, dude, that's fucked up, bro. Wow. That's when you find out the real enemy was Mario. Mario trying to lower the Mushroom Kingdom age of consent. Disgusting. Nah, Luigi's the real enemy was Mario. Was Mario trying to lower the Mushroom Kingdom Age of Consent?

Disgusting. Nah, Luigi is the real pedophile. Okay, so you're doing all this. They got a funny bit to break it up. We need that. We can go back underwater. Okay, so, so I why that's difficult to put titties in the game is because now what you're doing is you're adding a new texture, which

is not something which is not something that you can infect someone with. Imagine this is a Ted talk, but it's face makes like, so what we can't put fucking titties in the game. We tried to put titties in the game for a long time. We fucking tried. We fucking tried like fucking so hard. When you modern morph it for two,

the titties show up this big. We're trying to make the face porn map. It'd be the best trick shotting map ever. And there's titties and we know scope So you do a no scope and then you see like a big fucking like a bottle Big boner, that's awesome big fucking awesome boner and it'd be rains boner Which phase rains boner would it be? Because he got circumcised bro.

That's my favorite fucking streamer you're talking about. Slime picture this, you're me. Okay. And it's me laying you. Ah my shit's so tiny no! That wouldn't be it. That wouldn't be what I would say. Was it a wizard? I would. An evil wizard.

Make my shit tiny because it used to be normal. But it was my sleep. We had to say in the first 10 seconds, I'm laying you down gently into a gorgeous bed. And in my I'm you and my no, you're you. And I'm laying you down into a very comfortable Helix sleep mattress. And my shit's normal. Doesn't look like it. And I wouldn't reroll.

And and I'm laying you down and you're and you're thinking, my God, we're both on the bed, but we're not sinking into the middle because of the comfort zones that the mattress has. And there's rose petals. OK, it's our anniversary. Is it Star Wars? It's I guess I'd do that if you liked it. Yeah, OK.

So I'm dressed up as Princess Leia. That's so millennial. I've got buns. Okay, we listen to the Lumineers also. Yeah, Lumineers is playing off the hotel TV. It was already on actually, it was MTV. Then we switched to Vampire Weekend. And you know what?

And you say, where do you get this mattress? What the hell? Where do you get this Helix Sleep mattress? Why is it so comfortable? I say I got it from Helix Sleep mattress. That makes sense. Helix Sleep is a mattress that I actually use at home. I'm not kidding. They sent me one and I actually replace.

I had to go through the effort of removing the my actual mattress. Yeah, which is a lot. But it was worth it because it was comfy. The other one's filled with rats now. Good riddance. Really? It's in a junkyard full of rats. It's in a junkyard, but rats. It's in a junkyard. But your Helix Sleep is in your nice, good-smelling bedroom where your tiny shit rests every night. It's not tiny.

It's awesome. It's awesome and normal. Special October offer. Listen up. 20% of all mattress orders go to helixsleep.com slash the yard. Nick actually uses this, which is crazy. I'm going to be honest. I sleep on the floor.

So this is more of a product for people like Nick and everyone else who's super normal. That's helixsleep.com slash the yard, you get 20% off all your mattress orders. Slightly larger than an iPhone, y'all. And don't forget that. I just don't believe you. It's Helix Sleep.

So Helix Sleep, you know, buy it, feel comfortable, but don't lie to your friends about your body. Not doing that. I feel like if you, I feel like. I can't lie, I'm an ad. If you're lying to your friends, that. I feel like I can't lie. I'm in an ad. Because if you're lying to your friends, what are you doing? I can't lie. I'm in an ad. Well, let's get out of the ad so we can start telling the truth.

So auto reads, auto interprets, auto goes, OK, well, this is a string of three numbers that are all zero. It probably means RGB. And I was like, oh, that's interesting. That's probably. So I was just like learning. I was downloading. And then I was like, all right, time to get to work.

And now I'm like coding for kind of the first time outside of making a Discord bot once, but a different language. And a lot of Call of Duty modding is taking like code strings that they've already put in the game and then figuring out they exist. So like, you know, maybe one is called cg underscore fov and it modifies your fov.

And you have to know it's called that if you want to modify the fov. So community members will like find as many of these as they possibly can that are already in the game and then post them online. And you have to, by trial and error of having a modified Xbox, change the values, go in, see what it did.

This takes like, to test out one, it takes like half an hour. Yeah. And then they go like, oh, that's way fucking wrong. I'll go back and I'll modify it more. Do you think there are under 100 people right now that are doing this? 100%. That's crazy. Because there's two websites that people,

there's two big websites people would post on for these things, 7Sins and The Tech Game. And most of these boards have not, for Call of Duty 4 have not had a post. They've had like one post since 2010. This is honestly surprising to me because Call of Duty was so popular. And my frame of reference for this stuff

is like Mario Kart Wii modding because that was incredibly popular and that's what I was doing. I was like hacking my Wii and then like trying to run different mods and shit on it, right? Funky Kong with three balls. I'm sorry. I just have one track mind.

Funky Kong with three balls. But the thing is, if you wanted to get Funky Kong with three balls, there's a whole ecosystem that's very active right now with hundreds, if not thousands of people participating in it. So with like- The competitive game, right?

Yeah, and that might be why. It's like the mod is essential to participating in it. So with the competitive game. Yeah. And that might be why is like the mod is like essential to participating in the game at all. But it's surprising because Call of Duty in terms of its popularity, I feel like especially its competitive aspect was so much bigger. The Cod forums, it's all dudes from the UK. You scroll through. It's like one one forum post is like, look at this picture of a girl. She's such a derp.

And then look at the second post. It's like the N word. And the third one is like the labors of all of a girl, she's such a derp. And then look at the second post, it's like the N word. And then the third one is like, the labors of all of my efforts have bared fruit. Here is the program I've built off of the back of no money. Here it is community. And then, hey, has anyone heard of the Luminiers? There's some.

Yeah, it's like that. It's just fucking crazy, dude. It's like, here's my program. It reads the Trojan, don't worry about it. But it does work. All these comments are like, nice, this is awesome, works great, thanks for the program. And I'm like, yeah, I'll download it, fuck it, all these community members used it, whatever. If it is a Trojan, where is it even going to now? Who's even fucking getting the information? I don't care.

Someone dropped like a post like that, someone dropped like the first really racist meme I've seen in our Discord this morning. Jesus. Like ever. Like insanely racist. Oh really? Someone paid $15 to add me. Dude, they were at tier 2 sub. It was crazy.

And it's like, you paid us $15 a month to get fully banned immediately. Also, I didn't even see it. I was just not at my computer. Did we ban them from the Patreon or just the Discord? I gotta ask Ben. Probably banned from both. I banned people from the Patreon. Usually, if it's something like that. Probably ban them from both, yeah. I ban people from the Patreon. Usually, if it's something like that, we ban them from both.

Guys, Ben burst in the door. Guys, you're gonna wanna see the Patreon. My god, they've built a wall. So you're figuring this out. Yeah, so I'm figuring it out. I finally made a breakthrough. I finally got the... It sounds like I'm an idiot.

Dude, you're doing insane shit. No, I mean, for the next thing I'm gonna say. I couldn't get my JTAG to connect to the retail Xbox because I was trying to get them connected through my router, which you can do. You can do that. And I think the problem with that is port forwarding and all this bullshit. I think my router's too new for Xbox 360, basically. But then I just took the wire and was just like, and I just plugged the consoles into each other.

And that worked. That's crazy actually. That's actually crazy. It sounds dumb, but I was like, I was reading online that you could do that, but you need a special like crossover cable. And I'm like, I just have an ethernet cable, but it just worked.

And I was like, oh, bad ass. That's what they called them in 2011. We didn't know yet. Before ethernet. So that worked. And I was like, oh, awesome. I got that one called them in 2011. We didn't know yet. Yeah, before ethernet. So that worked, I was like, oh, awesome. I got that one figured out, and then I got the program to work, and then I got a file to open,

and then I'm looking at it, it's the meme of the guy looking at the mainframe with his hands on his hips. Oh yeah. I'm doing that in the program, I'm like, what the fuck is all this bullshit? And I don't exactly know why, but in the program where you write the code,

you can, like, there's multiple lines, you can put a bunch of code. But for some reason, all your code has to be on one line. So if you have more mods that fit on the line, then it won't run, it won't infect other people. Okay. Because, oh, I just figured out why. Wow. The reason why that is, is because

it's only for infectable mods, because you can't have the map name be more than one line. I bet Otto, if Otto is listening to this right now. It's like me watching you play League of Legends. It's a Gorya By the way all this for people who haven't followed why I'm doing it it's to make the game like more blue Yeah, this is it makes it one part. That's crazy It makes the game like more blue and you're gone a little further away I I want to make fun of you so bad, but this bullshit like this was my motivation for making Funky Kong with his third ball.

I was just like this. What did you mod in Mario Kart? It was like you could mod into textures, so you could change the like artwork of the game. That's local though, right? Like it'll be for other players. It's all localized. You can do infection stuff like this really. What would you mod?

I used the mod to install custom tracks and custom skins and stuff for characters. Like Darth Vader Mario? Yeah, shit like that. Like different versions of Mario from different games. Funky Kong. Black Ops 2, Funky Kong. Really? I used that. Cool. I used Black Ops 2, Funky Kong for a long fucking time. I want FaZe Banks and Mario Kart 8.

You can do that. And you can also mod in like custom characters and stuff like that. The closest thing to infection stuff that Nick is talking about is you have rating online like you. But it maxes at nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine. And the way points are distributed at the end of public races is like if you beat people who are have high rating, then you'll get more points. Yeah, that's black. That's why I'm so funky.

Dude, he's got the two on the back of his ear. It's a dude. He's so money. Is this a real track or is this in this? This is a real track. Okay. But I would use skins like this. He's, he's, is he alone or? He's wheelie humping.

Let's go. He's doing a time trial. Yeah, he's getting it. My friend, I have an old friend named Blake who is the world record holder on this track and he just got the world record on that track yesterday after running, he's been doing runs for like three months straight. That's crazy. That's crazy. I was gonna say way longer.

Yeah. No, he's had the record at different points over the past of the last like 15 years, but somebody like last year took his record. So he's been off and on practicing, but he went into like a three month play every day, multiple hours, and he finally got the record back. Do you think he's happy? He is. That's great. 100%

That's great. I'm so glad that's the answer. He has an old, dude, he has such a funny old YouTube video. This is back when like most people in Mario Kart you had zero idea what they looked like. And he posted a video of him basically doing man on the street interviews in his town where

he would go up to random people and he was like, would your opinion of me change if you knew I had a world record in Mario Kart Wii? Just be like some guy and they'd be like that. I mean that sounds cool But the the modding and the the infections didn't really exist like you couldn't give hacks to other people But what you could do is like client-side stuff decided something like your items. So some dude who's like modding the fuck out of the game before the race starts could like be in a star and a mega mushroom tossing 10 blue shells. And like, and they would just fuck with you like that. And they could also hack their rating to stuff past the limit. So their rating would be like 50,000, right?

Instead of the typical like 999 cap. And what they would do, there used to be these awful... There was two groups, the white hats and the black hat hackers, Mario Kart Wii. Stories of all this time. There was four for the lose hackers and four the win hackers. And people who would just like get into your lobby and intentionally harass you with this item bullshit and then win the race with like low points and make and tank your rating by beating you. Because if they have like 50 points and you have 9,000 or 8,000

then the way the system works is it just drains your rating. Because it seems like you've lost to a terrible player. That's so funny. But then there was these good, good guys on the other side where if they got in your lobby, they still did all the item spammy stuff, but then they would intentionally lose the race at the end. And then they boosted everybody's rating. So then if you had a friend who, like,

if you had a friend who, like, wasn't that good of a player, maybe their rating was like 8,000 or like low 9,000s, which was like bad for competitive players, then you and you saw them jump to max in like a day. maybe the rating was like 8000 or like low 9000, which was like bad for competitive players. Then you, and you saw them jump to max in like a day. It's like, you fucking cheated, bro. Like you, that's, that was like the equivalent to this in Mario Kart.

But all the map changes and things are client side. So like, if you wanted to play custom apps with people, you couldn't just infect or change, you needed everybody in the lobby to have the mod pack like installed. So if you this is funny because I was I also wanted to make fun of Nick a lot. Yeah. But I couldn't because last year I did the same thing

with San Andreas on PC. It's sick. And I wanted to do I wanted to make it look cool and play through the game. It apparently is only run right now by a Brazilian San Andreas community. All the mods are in what are they Portuguese? And you have to use Google Translate. It's insanely active. They play online all the time. It's crazy.

And but they're the only community doing it. And they kind of show you. You have to go in and like modify the memory like allowance to like let the game access more RAM and shit and like dude No pad like file manipulation. It was crazy It is cool how old games like this get carried on Because all of the Nintendo stuff like not just Mario Kart anything that was on like Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, like DS games, like Wii games, all of those servers were shut down in 2014 by Nintendo. So the way you play online now is like you have to mod your console to some degree to connect to custom servers that are hosted by this guy in Germany who just lets basically

thousands of people access old online games. He lets Everyone hit. Yeah, and it's been free for a decade now. And that's like longer than the lifespan of the actual like console and like actual services. So crazy. Yeah, I've been thinking at the end of this, it would be a crime to not post everything I've learned on one of these forums.

Right. Yeah. Because you're like me out there. There's got to be people like me who just like don't get obsessed as I do with stuff like this. There's probably like, oh, I'd love to do this. But I can't find the information. Just give up.

Yeah, but you're like fighting the good fight and unlocking it. You can sit and stare at a string of code without knowing what code is or how to write it. Yes. Figure out what it means over the course of six hours. I'll just stare at it and be like, oh, it's probably doing this. Let's test that trial and error. A lot of it is like a lot of the strings are just like you're taking like

like people will make full mod menus in the game or like you press you bind your left D pad to open up a menu on your screen that you can go through and select mods while you're playing. All of the stuff you're seeing in the menu is like taking things from other parts of the game and repurposing it and Frankensteining it. It's not often, there are examples of this. It's not often brand new code. There are examples of it being brand new code

and there are people who do this in such a creative way that they're functionally writing new code. There's some that, I have one right now that you press a button and then it turns your entire lobby into a prop hunt lobby. Like it just changes the way the game works and you can choose different models that are already in the game. And it's cool the length of time because I remember like I imagine something similar here is like with Mario Kart when the mods used to be so dog shit. Like at the beginning the like tools available and like what people could make like looked so bad, were so rudimentary, but the stuff people make now,

because the tools have expanded and been built, the new tracks that people make for that game now look like new tracks from an actual Mario Kart game. I think it's probably because of... It's probably similar to the Melee breakthroughs, where they can code stuff in Melee now and like, what is it, in C or Java, whatever it is. It used to be they had to work with proprietary

Nintendo language and now they can, people have created tools to port it over to language. That's why they put a Diddy Kong in there and shit. Yeah, that's why it's so easy to make shit like that now. Yeah. You see that random shift where it was just like, mods were shitty, oh my god, they're amazing. All of a sudden it's fucking amazing.

It wasn't like a guy that came along, it kind of is in no sense. Yeah. But, yeah, that shit's nuts. Well, I'll have you all know, at the end of this little segment, I figured it out, I finally got a patch working that I made. And now your game is a little bit more blue. And now it's a little more blue. And also there's more like, the sun is a different color a little bit.

Oh my god. What is this? This is Mario Kart Wii. Crazy taxi or GTA? No, it's Mario Mario Kart. We have a saying LC 500. I was saying what's the mod? I know it's Mario Kart, but what's like what's the car ported? What the dude this game would be so much cooler if it had a real-ass car wait It's like need for speed this is yeah. It looks like one of those arcade racers You should make this a map like the map they're on I know it's already a map

They should make this a map, but you all play in the cars that are already on the road Like one use of the bus Dude, this is insane. This is like cruise USA I have not seen this one by the way in the in the chat if you ever did mail bomb trick on your Wii Oh, yeah, cuz that was my that was my first one. You have no idea what a breakthrough that was It was so cool before letter before Letterbomb existed, modding your Wii was such a fucking pain in the ass. It's just, it's not what you think.

It's an FPS. I promise, you've done mail bomb trick. No, no. Right into the yard. Wow. I mean, some people use anthrax, but also a Wii mod. I promise, it's not what you think. Don't freak out.

No, it's... Dude, think. Don't freak out. It felt so cool the first time I ever saw the red envelope and had to click it. And then my Wii goes... Oh my... What did I do? You used to have to do it only through like game exploits that worked based on which firmware you had on the Wii. So like depending on the firmware you had, there was a different set of games that had exploits

that allowed you to do the modding that like Letterbomb lets you do basically. And so like, if you were on version like 4.2 of the Wii menu, then you had to use a Lego Indiana Jones to like mod your fucking Wii. Or Yu-Gi-Oh. Dude, and you just like had to hope you owned one of the games.

And then Brawl had a really consistent one, which is how people would launch PM. Yeah, yeah. Because most people had that game. We all stand on the shoulders of DJ Z-Maid, who eventually went insane and died his skin to become black. Oh, Jesus, I forgot about this guy. That's a new kazoos to you. Oh man, change the name.

New skin, new name. You remind me of something too, the trial and error stuff is always funny, because the way code worked on things like action replays for DS games is like, it's just digits, zero to nine rows of them. And then you'd have to figure out the hex line within the, like, Pokemon that you had to change, like, what value you had to change to get the change of the game you wanted. And you could sit there and, like, trial and error, like, hex code

for Pokemon games. I never did this myself, but I would go on forums and, like, browse action replay codes for Pokemon. And also, the DS Pokemon games were the first generation that you could trade globally for Pokemon in general, right? Now you're saying an Action Replay dildo Pokemon. Dude, kinda. This was the first generation where hacking and modding

was so incredibly easy because of the popularity of Action Replay, but it's also the first generation that you could just trade Pokemon online Yeah, so I had a code that on my on my PS that let you just clone Pokemon you had so anything I wanted to trade for I would just find a trade of like an interesting Pokemon find the one that they wanted Clone it keep my guy find the one that they wanted, clone it, keep my guy, and then get theirs. You got up to some shit like that? Yeah.

You look crooked like that. Action, replay, all code, give Lickitung libido. What's he gonna use that for? It's so funny, you see the crossover and the sort of evolution of young people entering their hormonal period, and then using the skills and the time they have to see boobs or something.

Like I've told this before, like in Brood War, some of the maps you would get into was literally just to... They would draw out a naked woman on the map and in the mini map would be like a 100 by 100 pixel depiction of like, you know, a naked woman. Just any way to do it. And you would just get in there, download the maps like that That was way to look at the clip of Alex seen the back-to-back penis boobs in the black ops The lobby is so funny to me because similar to how the mod game has had an arms race in an increasing quality I was like dude. These are way better than when I was playing black ops as a kid It's like the details kind of a sounding it's funny to you talking about the the like the gatekeeping of you have to join the lobby

to get infected and all that in Xbox. Because this culture existed for a while in online games like Warcraft 3 when you played Dota. So you would get, because the new Dota version would come out. You could download it from the website and put it in your directory and you'd have it. Or which was usually, I don't know, faster, better or worse. You go into a game, you beg them to let you download it because when you get into the game, you can download the map

in the waiting lobby really fast. And so now people downloading it implied one of two things. One, you haven't played in a while, so you were shit. So they didn't want you in the lobby. Or two, you were just lazy and you didn't want to do it. So it would be like Dota 6.83b, no DL. And no DL meant if you started downloading, you would get kicked immediately.

And, but it took, if you could sneak into a lobby and get it downloaded, you just had it forever now. So you can kind of like just get in there, download it fast, get out, nobody knows. In COD, like in the forums and stuff, it's kind of crazy that they're also gatekeeping because none of them were charging for the service. It was all pride.

Having a JTAG, if you want, so it really depends how you do it, but a lot of the people that were hosting lobbies are paying to host lobbies because they're paying for the KV that lets their JTAG go online. They're not hosting from their retail because if you're hosting from your retail,

then you can't use that Xbox while you're hosting. Like you just can't play Xbox. And all these guys play Xbox. You can't play Overlord. They either have three Xboxes, which I don't think most of them did, or they're hosting on the JTAG, and then they're just like unplugging the HDMI

and playing on their normal console while people join it. People can just join it passively and get infected. Yeah. And they're posting on the forum, like, go join this game or not. It's selfless then. I think it's for street cred. What these dudes wanted was higher ranks on the forum websites.

And they wanted to get like, they wanted to go from rookie to fucking, you know, because all the forums would have rankings based on your post activity, your likes. Exactly, yeah. And that's why they wouldn't give it away, because they had to come to like their forum post and join your likes. Exactly. And that's why they wouldn't give it away, because they had to come to their forum post

and join them. And if you wanted to get in, what a lot of them would do is they would say, post your gamertag below if you want to get in. If you know the gamertag you're joining, you can just join it. But they want your gamertag to go through the effort of inviting you, because you have to post on the forum.

gamertag to go through the effort of inviting you because you have to post on the forum. Yeah. So it's just they all wanted to be like credible online in COD forums. That's all they wanted and they were paying money to do this. Dude, we assign so much value to like crazy shit. It's so funny. This this is boy stuff. Yeah, no, it's not. I don't. This is 100%. It is. But like, I don't know. That feels exclusionary because like girls are insane too. I don't this is I mean it is percent it is but like I Don't know that feels exclusionary cuz like girls are insane, too It doesn't mean no doesn't mean that girls can't do it It's just this is a type of shit that you tell a dude and they're just like nice Do that that rule I think the I think the girl social economy online is just different It was just in different places. I think there are girls who did this same shit, but on Neopets.

I think, dude, I think it... If we were to use the example of fandoms for things, I feel like it still exists. Like the clout and being the gatekeeper of information or a person that a lot of people follow and like, I don't know, Blackpink Twitter. I think it's funny that as people online, we are always one one sentence away from a Taylor Swift stand putting a 50 cal in our head.

Yeah. And I think that's kind of beautiful. Like we say the wrong thing and I think we are wetted up. Now that I think about it, the women are more threatening in their spaces. Because when I was on one, when I was wielding my fucking five stars on Yu-Gi-Oh card maker forum You know I didn't have you know I didn't have violence. I didn't ready to deploy Yeah well I think a lot of things evolved like the beauty of all these things being attached in these accounts is like

That you can find where someone lives It's somewhat of a blurry line between modding and cheating like cheat Yeah, I'm gonna do games and cheating in video games are very, very closely related. You could argue me having an increased FOV when I play COD console is me cheating. Most people would just say it's cosmetic and looks cool. So in my head, I'm like, I feel like if you found a big mega list of everyone who's ever cheated in video games, it's like 99% boys.

Yeah, true. You know what I mean? I can buy that. I think it's like the genetic code of like, I don't give a fuck. I'm a boy, I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck, dude. I don't give a crud. It's also just like the sub-community of like gaming, especially at that time.

It's just a space that is like way more male dominated to begin with. Dude, this reminds me of Miles is telling me, because Miles used to play hardcore while before they made the official server. And it was like basically private servers that were kind of like community run. You had to get an add on for the game that like verified you. People would cheat in that and shit. But what was what was more interesting was that there were people dedicated to killing you during your hardcore run, like basically pulling a mob to make it attack you, following you around.

There were like these evil ages, like these mercenaries dedicated just like trolling and ruining your hardcore, right? To 60. And that was back when it was like, there's way less people. It wasn't like a lot of people like helping each other. It was just, it was more hardcore of a hardcore server. And what was funny is that there were people, like you were saying, the White Hats, that would develop as as warriors to defend.

That's so it's like a mini society within the game. It is like it is more beautiful. Those two things are happening than if neither of them exist. I know exactly, right? It's just like they're like, I'm just thinking about how it's so crazy how this exists across all these gaming communities. Like, there was just the fucking psychos on the Mario Kart forum who would be like, Yep, this is the program that pulls people's IP from Skype.

Fuck them. Like, I'm DDoSing or like people who would like cheat in league matches. There was this thing in Mario Kart League matches called, uh, because if you got caught cheating, you were usually, usually banned. Or if like you were suspected of cheating consistently suspected, they put you on something called conditionals. And what you had to do if you were on conditionals is you had to use a camera or like a capture card

to stream you in your room, starting up your way, start to finish and getting in the lobby to prove that you weren't cheating. But then people, like the arms race of like outpacing the conditionals footage, like it started off with like post a recording, right? But then people just started pre-recording their startups and like faking it. And then people started like,

you can't do it with capture cards. You need to show yourself physically in your room, doing it with a camera of a 4chan post time live streaming notepad and every community like devolves into these like evil and good figures that like pick a side and there's like always the normal people in the middle that just like wanted to play the game Sly I've been thinking about you a lot

I think about you a lot in a romantic way? no, no I've been thinking about how boring lot. I've been thinking about you a lot. In a romantic way? No, no, I've been thinking about how- Boring, snore, make it romantic. Make it romantic and I'll listen to you. I've been thinking about you in a romantic way. Nice. I've been thinking about how if I were to give you

soft but gentle kisses all over your body. Oh yeah, nipples too. Nipples, there'll be play. How it would just be so inconvenient that you have so much hair. Right. Cause I got hairy ass nipples. Cause you're a Greek man. I'm Greek.

And you're full of hair. I'm Greeken and I'm geeken. And I want to give you something awesome. Can I do that? Of course, I would love that. I would love to give you the new Manscaped Razor. Really? Not just any Manscaped Razor, the Chairman Pro.

The Chairman Pro electric foil shaver. You sure you want to give that to me? The thing is, they got bored of numbers. They were like, what if we called them people? Whoa. Yeah, they used to be on some.0s, now they're on the Chairman. The Chairman. And you gotta sit down in a chair, man, and listen. I like that, because it's like you're a CEO of being smooth. Back to being romantic, I swear, there'll be tongue. Okay. There are areola. I want candles! There will be tongue. OK, are you all candles? There will be roses and candles and candles and roses and all sorts of.

But I want it to be Star Wars theme, too, because we're millennials. With cream and I'll be in a big bear costume. I want to see. I want to millennial make a millennial. It'll it'll be. Is there a sorting hat and you'll be such a derp? Such a. Oh, yeah. Magoosta Magusta. You're gonna like the SkinSafe 4 Blade Foil for a close but smooth shave.

I'm gonna be as smooth as Slave Leia from Return of the Jedi. You won't be any sort of labor that isn't paid for. You will just be you, covered in no hair. That's fine. But what I like about Manscape Razors, I could do in the shower. Okay, cuz they're water. They're waterproof still waterproof. Love that rechargeable 75 minutes of shaving time it's got a cool logo on it That kind of looks like the His Infernal Majesty logo dude You know what and that reminds me get the chairman pro today and experience a shade that is as smooth as you and Ben Margera

If it does work and then you end up getting a discount, who's the real winner there? You and your smooth partner and Yourself who is also smooth. Hey as a podcaster that authentically and genuinely uses a product I support this message and now we'll go back to the episode AGDQ but One person is hacking and cheating their run and the stream has to figure out who it is It's funny because I watch a lot of these videos about like this speed runner

got caught cheating. I watch all these. Yeah. Right. Aren't they funny? And some of them are like, actually, I would argue most of them are like, yeah, it was actually really obvious that we think about it. I think I had that exact same thought like two days ago because I watched that. I think it was who was it? The Carl Jobs who made the the Jump King one? I don't know. It's kind of recent. Hello, absolute legend. Yeah, it was it? Was it Carl Jobs? Who made the Jump King one?

I don't know, it's for a kind of reason. Hello, you absolute legend. Yeah, it was him. On January 21st, he would say this slur. Very similar to your lector. This slur. Yeah, he's an Australian lector, maybe? I was watching the Jump King one,

and it's like, oh yeah, if you know anything about anything This is he spliced basically the entire run. Yeah, all spite. It's it to me. I think the first thing I thought was like Gaming is actually a lot smaller like the sub communities of gaming are so tiny. Yeah, there's just not enough people Yeah in most communities There's not enough people to like go through and check or like or care have the knowledge or care to like. It takes a certain amount of obsess for all of this to occur in general, because I've been watching these videos about

like how they broke the Mario people who do tasks a lot. The tool system runs. They get they start coding. They start like fucking with the hex values and shit. And it's like how they broke Super Mario Bros. three to beat it in like point 17 seconds. And it's because you have to like subframe inputs and it's basically just a coding class.

It's like, here's how the game is broken down and here's how you modify it. And I'm like, this is these people back in like the 1800s either would have been inventors or just like died knowing about the molecules in bread And it's kind of a cool thing that we've allowed like this these spaces for insane people to just be obsessed Because what they're doing is they're beating Mario 3 really fast, yeah, they're not solving no They're making up a problem and solving it like speedrunning, like we talked about. But it's weirdly fulfilling. And it's like the human condition of just doing that and making up a field goal

and then putting a fucking football through it. And it's fun. I like that. And that's why you're not insane for what you're doing, even though you are. And you should be for it. Yeah. Yeah. And in a earlier time, you would be shamed. And I wish you were. And they've covered me in tar. And they cover you. They cover you in liquids and juices

You'd be a ghoul and they make you they call you a little or a wizard. I'd be so Be a little ghost for all of us and they'd cookie What was I gonna say? We cook your little goose body. They're not cheating. I keep I'm so brain fogged today I think we're fucked and maybe it's the call to be modding to five. I don't know. It can't be that Might be that It might be that. It might be that. You were talking about modding, you were talking about... Dude, it's like we all smoked a bunch of weed.

This is crazy. I was gonna say... A lot of times too, it's just technology advances. Like someone will post a fucking... Like a GoldenEye run from like when the game came out and they had the world record because they posted on a niche forum and then like Ten years later. It's like yeah, everyone is like audio programs now. Yeah on their computers So someone will just download it and be like, oh the waveforms fucked

Anyone would see this back then like back then this person wouldn't have done this if they knew it was this accessible and it's for no bag That's what I keep going back to it on the internet. Yeah, that's the beautiful part. We all want to be cool on the internet. Because we're not cool in real life. Yeah. Oh, that's so fun. That's why I tried to beat Goldeneye really fast. To be fair, that's why Ryan Lockwood. I think it's, well, he never cheated.

No, I'm just saying he's a cool guy. He was. Because he beat Goldeneye fast. Because he said funny things when he did his world record. Well, I think people who cheat, they usually cheat again because they started running because they wanted to be notable in the community. They realized the road there was a little too hard. They go, OK, well, I'll just do this little thing.

Like Carl Jobs always says, he says, you know, speedrunners don't cheat to get a fast time. They cheat to get a time faster. Yeah. You know, what's funny is there's people, the people who like get caught and then double down. Like they try to like explain it away. When someone says I didn't cheat and the video is only 10% done. There's one guy and his, uh, I think he was like an Austrian guy Which is name his tag was blackie which okay? Yeah?

Oh, yeah, like the guy this guy was up to no good in this is an Austrian guys Austrian you say usually post an art on the forum By symbols Like symbols Dude what an awesome shape This guy actually was His tag was His tag was blackie And then And he speed

He did time trials at Mario Kart And I remember he was famous For the fact that he cheated By the time that I was in the community People knew that this guy fucking cheats his top trials. Like, this is obvious. He's so obviously cheating. But one of the most common way to cheat is, like in all of speedrunning, is using save states, right?

And just using a bit tasking to, like, get a good time and then trying to show it as your own. But he did, He went further. He was there's this one shortcut on this one track called Dry Dry Ruins, where you hop over the sand and you just do a little hop. You clear like a corner. Very simple. But he did this crazy. He and then he on July.

Yeah, he does this shortcut where he he more aggressively cuts off the sand and like the water behind it and he like launches with like no mushroom, no items and I'm watching this I'm like that's the first time I've ever seen it. I'm like that's crazy you can fucking do that and then at first I thought it was legit and then people told me he's cheating. I'm like that's crazy because even with Tass that seems insane. Like I didn't know you could make that jump. Where is the speed coming from? Because he had shifted.

This is what made it insane. Is like he had doubled down that he wasn't cheating for a while. And then he's like, you got me. I'm a TASer, like I'm TASing. And then people, you know, to explore the mechanics of a game will post TAS world records to like show the limits of like what the game is, right? So he posts this time as the TAS world record and he does this crazy jump and people are like This still seems weird

In a way No, it's like you just have to nail it like I did the save states, right? Turns out he had modded the Driving textures in the game so that the like off road section that slows you down extended further so he could get enough speed to make this jump. Dude, he said I want another bite. So he's already in the like cheater competition and decided to cheat more and then tripled down again to insist that it's actually legit.

And I was like, who is this for? Because we all think you're a bad guy. We all think you're a cheat. You're right. I made this guy talk. If you played Mario Kart to get me to talk about you, you either had to triple down on cheating or you had to become a pedophile in the UK.

And that's what it takes to get on this podcast. Which way, Western man? I remember it being so funny even back then, because it was like, you're already cheating. Why would you cheat more cheating a task is so interesting, too, because it's like that's kind of what a task is. You're you're you can't do it as a human. You can just you are cheating.

You could just keep tasking more like you don't even you don't have to break the mold. So actually, that's just generational. I know. I always thought that was so interesting that he did that. I think you know what I'd like to speak in a cheating. I want it. And that's actually nothing to do with you. I want to break Nick Yingling's neck with a fucking pipe.

Yeah, that would feel awesome. I think it feels awesome for him you come in here come in come in no it's to break your neck like a pipe I don't want to see this fucking dumbass don't say that not don't do that here it comes what do you want man what do you want dude do it why now you know? Now look at how demure you look. Look at, no close the door. You talking about the side of your neck all fucking weak at me bro? You're wearing the Bass Pro hat like LP.

Because dude you're mean. Explain why you're so mean. Don't sit on Kirby. You just sat on Kirby dude. What the fuck? Dude you put him on- Dude, stop it! Oh my god, I bet it smells crazy down there. How about you fucking work? It's not all of you. It's just slime. It's kind of you, too.

That's true. You don't have a job. It's just slime! I don't say shit to him! You don't have a job. You do! No, I don't! You say it the most! Dude, he does the shit to me.

No, I- What if this was the podcast? That's different because you don't have a job. Yeah, but he- okay, listen. And it sounds petty, childish, he started it. No, I didn't! Yes, you fucking did! I put-

AHHHH! Nicky didn't like my Instagram post, so I DM him on Instagram, can I go get the chicken Big Mac with you, Big Bro? No reply. I went alone! That has nothing to do with it! You went without him? Do you- do you like- My god. Do you like abuse people emotionally? You big bro. No reply

Do you like you like abuse people emotionally you everything you do is you turn it around into some like evil fucked up Spire of fucking like lies and gaslighting, bro. It's disgusting. Don't put your head. Don't do YouTube face Dude, you did that! I don't do that! You- Ah-yee-yai-yee Ah-yee-yai-yai he says Why are you talking like a Mexican mother? You do this to me! That just smirks me! You turned me into this person! Are you fucking kidding me? No!

You've always been evil! No I haven't! Talk to the mic I'm yelling! The mic can hear me! It definitely hears him The mic hears me, I promise you that Ying Li, have you ever mod- have you ever modded a video game?

Have you ever modded a video game? You ever get into modding any games? No. Oh, well, conversation's over I guess. Why'd you ask? We've been talking about that for an hour and a half. Do you want to squash this shit or do you want to fucking keep being cat and mouse? No, I don't want to. See, that's what I'm talking about.

He doesn't want to squash it. I would love to squash. It's my turn to be petty. How are you ever turned? I didn't do anything wrong. All you you do do you think that you're the cat or the mouse both? No, no, no, no, you gotta pick one. You can't be both. No we change What are you right now? Right now? I'm the fucking cat and you're the mouse you think His dumbass around all time wait It feels like you're the mouse right now my the kid is cat? Is it more better to be the cat or the mouse? More better. Who cares? Which one's more better? Is it more better to do it better?

To do it to the cat. Why did you get mad about me not liking your Instagram post and then not reply to me about the chicken being mad? I didn't get mad about it. I got sad about it because anger is sadness repackaged. I feel like he got mad. That's a learning moment, Yingling. Think about that. And you got your face in your head. Why do you think I'm mad? It's because my friend doesn't heart my shit. Why didn't you get the chicken big bag with him? Because I went alone and it was really close

and I was already in the car when he messaged me. I don't want to sit and wait for Yingling. I replied six minutes after you posted it. I know. I had to go. And I got the chicken big bag. It was fucking terrible. He had to go. What do you? They would have the chi meal yet It's kind of that's what it is. Oh, but I had one

It was gas before blade and then I had one after blade. So who knows you had to Know that's what I'm saying, bro It's like you the thing is I don't look for times to get back at you But you look for times to meet me you You feel like you're beating against me. And now you're doing like, floating steam out of your ears. I'm breathing. I'm trying to keep it all in. Why don't you let it out?

Why don't you let it out? It's so hard. I want to see what you're made of. He just doesn't have a fucking job. And he's so mean to me. Dude, I'm not mean to me. That's crazy. The shit you say to me is so mean.

How do you beat this? Okay, I need to like record you now. Are you say recording We are recording! Are you implying he's keeping it 98? He keeps it fucking 40! Oh my god, that's lower than it is.

I remember the hat not being on your head as much. One of the last times I ever played Xbox that guy he was talking shit to a guy on the other team on search and destroy and he said he was calling him a loser and he's like when I'm older I'm gonna be a fucking millionaire and he was right. It's kind of tight when you come up with that. I think he was in high school when he said that. It's more tight when you do when it happened. Is that really all it takes? Is manifesting real? Yeah you gotta manifest bro. Yeah. Yeah what are you manifesting right now? And you have to be willing to scam some people? I'm manifesting yingling falling out of the window up there. Yeah, no Not the fake window on the set. I was gonna say the real

Windows don't open in the studio. We can open them. Okay, this shit is locked up like a Vegas hotel Yeah, but I'm gonna change that I'm gonna change it I have a question, you know, I hate to circle back to Xbox modding But I would love to what does the JTAG have in it? Like, why is it a JTAG? It's like JDate. I just wanna know. It's a great question, Aiden.

So if you wanna make one, you have to know how to micro solder because what you do, they're called RGH's Reset Glitch Hack. And it's the long explanation short, there's like basically you add two wires and it tricks the Xbox into booting a certain way. Keep calm and chive.

Keep calm and JTAG. That's probably already on there. Keep calm and JTAG. That's definitely on a forum somewhere. We thought of the most awesome gamer tag. So like one of the menu that you boot like everything from on a JTAG is called XEX. Dude, Charlie XEX as a fucking Going back on the form and making that username. Oh, it's so fire

But it was around and then posting the updated guys around that ass in Fucking wasn't that ass. I think I'm right 2010. I'm checking Charlie you should XCX if I'm right you guys owe me a hundred million dollars. I love it by Iconopop came out in 2012 So what does that so what does that do for me that probably means she was around that probably means she was around 2012 You're right. Oh, I'm checking career. I'm checking fuck 2008 Release my space as a teenager. I fucking knew it. She was around. I told her she I love being right sometimes I thought she was like 2010 2011. How old is she?

How old is Charlie XCX? Oh wait? Oh, she's a teenager in 2008. So she's probably like 31 30 She's 31 or 31. I'm okay. Nice. Nice. I easily know recently 32. That's cool We should have we should have Rebecca black on the podcast. You think that she'd understand us? Oh, yeah She speaks English. I think it'd be fun as people not like our words. I don't know. I have so many questions to ask her. Like you think I'd be like, what do you play in melee?

And she's like, what the hell are you talking about? Or would she be like Kirby? Do you think that talk to a would be interested in coming? No, I think well, actually, I think we could we could get her on. If we trick her, we could be like, hey, we're actually we're going to launch a coin and we'll give you because she is into that shit. She's in the coins. Oh, dude, she's pushing Doge and she.

No, yeah. Yeah, bro. She's like she's taking any bag she can find. We say there's a fresh lunch for you right here on the set. We put it under a box with a step. I tell you, I tell you this much. We could get talk. We could definitely get talked to on in like a year.

A year. You're no. After her fall off era? Yeah. We get her in three months, bro. You think the fall off's coming that quick? Connor can DM her for us. She follows him. True.

I don't want Connor. No. I don't want Connor to handle this. I don't want Connor being the go-between. We need Connor to get guests. Dude, we can get George Santos. It was crazy, dude. When he came to the warehouse like last week, he was just showing me him and George Santos. It was crazy dude when he came to the warehouse like last week he was just showing me him and George texting and I was like this is so

surreal to read. I love that a disgraced public official is now in Connor Eats Pants' phone. Yeah it's amazing. Isn't that fun? Do you think Connor's in the black book? Connor definitely is closer to the CIA to knowing about aliens and we ever have been he's the closest of us You know I'm saying absolutely His cut her tweet about oh when the when the Hamas leader was killed he tweeted like I'm sorry I'll be pushing fortnight Fridays because of an issue with our next guest guest. That's fucking funny. Imagine he was down. Dude, that's fucking funny.

What's his name? The Ayatollah premier of Iran. I bet broken shoot. He's old. I bet broken shoot. Oh, like the guy in Fortnite. The guy who's in Fortnite. I thought you were saying he was an accurate shooter.

I was like, oh, maybe. Dude, him like just just yelling in Farsi as Connor tries to get his interpreter to ask questions. He's like, so, do you watch Dream? Farsi in Palestine? No, no, no, in Iran.

They don't run around in Iran. They're talking about Anatolia. You're talking about the guy who runs Iran, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Bro. He's I know bro. That guy old. He's old as fuck. I'm 34. And he was on the forums dude. He was trying to get his F-O-V to 90. You know Osawa was on the forums.

I bet he has the patch I've been looking for. I bet. That's why you can't find it. If anyone out there has Shining and Defying's Pro Mod patch, I've been looking for that. shiny and defying promo patch I'm looking for that day tagging the compound for sure visual boy advance and wambo combo dot mp4 He definitely had a J tag X watching the zero dark 30 deleted scenes and it's Chris Pratt's character Like he breaks the door down. He's like dude. I think that's a J tag Down and play one out.

How do you guys feel about... Fruitless effort is a hard way to put it. I was thinking about... I had an idea. I was like, okay, one reason it's really hard to make Pro Mod patches and test them for Xbox is because you have to load them onto your Xbox and load them up and it takes time and it's frustrating.

And you don't really know exactly... When you punch in a value, you can look at like an RGB scale and you can look that it says blue, but you don't really know how it's gonna reflect in the game, right? I was like, oh, it'd be cool if I made a tool that like mimicked the way that lighting and color worked in the game and then you could just adjust sliders and test how it would look on like an image.

And then when the image looks the way you want it to look, you can boot it up in the game. So it renders it before you have to load up your Xbox for half hour. You could 100% do this. You could make this, for sure. It would take someone like me a lot of time. I would have to learn so much.

But it would take someone like Auto maybe two weeks. I'm like, OK, I have that idea. It would be so useful to a community that barely even fucking exists anymore. How do you feel about efforts like that in your life? Because I know you have to run into these every once in a while. We were just like, I would love for this to exist. And if I don't do it, no one's going to do it. I guess I could pay someone to do it.

I think it's sick. I think it is sick. I think it's like one of the coolest ways you could like use your position of like time and money now is like spending something spending time on something that is like for a for a limited community that is not for profit to do something that is just useful and cool that like, you know, a Room full of people would appreciate because they don't have the resources or time to do it Yeah, I think that's like how so many communities like this function. That's how like open source software works.

That's like, it's just you being willing and like caring enough about this thing is like the gateway to like it happening. And you're at the, I think that's how I kind of look at Star League is like Star League right now is just this way. Penis or regular? Penis. Regular. Oh, okay. Not penis. Regular Star League right now is just this way... Penis or regular? Penis. Regular. Oh, okay. Regular.

Regular Star League is my... Penis Star League, it doesn't... it couldn't even hold a candle to normal Star League. It's just my... it affects like a somewhat limited group of people. It's not like fruitful like economically. It's just like we get to put money into something that people in SoCalMelee just really appreciate. And this is exactly the same thing. And then maybe because you make this tool, you make it possible for some dude who didn't have the money to, like, accelerate his efforts to build more

stuff in this community, like builds more because of it. I think that's cool, too. In the particular example you're giving of this tool, it's the word itself is important. Right. You're creating something that helps others create, which is in a way like much more selfless. It just depends on your level of obsession. And like, cause I don't know, the reason why you started doing this in the first place came from a place of I want to,

I want this for myself. I want this for myself. And I want to achieve like a goal that I've set, which is to finish this thing and make it more blue. I don't want to quit. Yeah. Basically. And I think that if you look at it through that lens, achieve a goal that I've set, which is to finish this thing and make it more blue. I don't want to quit, yeah, basically. And I think that if you look at it through that lens, none of this is really fruitless if...

Beating Mario in.17 seconds is just like you wanted to do that. Yeah. So I think about that kind of shit too, but it's also hard when you get older. A lot of the speedrunning shit I'm watching now is this one guy, I should shout him out. It's it's all like RPG, mostly RPG speed runs. And there's this challenge in Final Fantasy 10 speed running, or not even speed run, but challenge runs where it's like nine letters.

It's like no sphere grid, no summons, no overdrive. And it's like NSGS. Like it looks stupid as fuck. But people are like a lot of the times in these histories of these challenges, like, yeah, so he ended up having to go to school and do actual human shit. So a lot of movement didn't happen on the challenge. And that's what happens, right? But if you're in a position where you can afford time or money to push forward

something that usually young people with a lot of time can do that is always worth it because that's rare Yeah, I like the framework of like you know, maybe one reason why something like this doesn't exist is just It would be it would be the effort of someone who has like a fucking job that this is like a bad use of their Time and like whatever so if I have like the time and the space and the to work on it like why not It's kind of like I'm thinking about I feel like it might be the best type and the to work on it. Like, why not? If you think it's kind of like I'm thinking about it, I feel like it might be the best type of thing to work on in a way. Right.

It's most spiritually fulfilling in a lot of ways. It depends, though. I mean, you could think it's a waste of time. It's the thing currently calling to me, I guess. It's like, you know, that could be that could change to be like a project or like a short film or whatever. But for now, it's like the thing. Oh, it's just the thing I want to do.

Yeah, zipper. I sent you two photos. I just wanted to show you the patch I made. Now that after this conversation, all this effort for this. We're gonna look at a line of code that has a misspelling in it. Yeah, and you have to find where's Waldo.

It's like looking at a finger painting. Let's do it from our side. Show the boring one first and don't fuck me because I said that Nick is bringing software bug report to the podcast. What a banger app Yeah, I would I can't lie to you all this buildup. I want to see the shade of blue. Yeah Okay, so this is what Call of Duty 4 normally looks like. And to be clear, the patch I made is not the one I like yet. It's just me getting to work finally.

And it's all values that I chose. So it's like, I made it. You made it. OK. All right, let's see the finger painting. Ta-da! OK, come on, dude. OK.

You know what, Nick? So it looks kind of cool. And you have an FPS counter. And you have FOV dude. Okay. Oh. You know what? So it looks kinda cool. And you have FPS counter, and you have FOV shift, and it's like more reflecty. Sweetheart, I think this is so fun. I like it. Ma, ma, I made this.

No, yeah. Not the game, not the game. I didn't, or like. Oh, so not the video game? No, it's like the colors kind of. Can they hear us when they're talking to us? That's a photo. Okay, all right. No, they can't hear us, it's a the colors kind of. Can they hear us when they're talking to us? That's a photo. OK, all right.

No, they can't hear us. It's a photo. You're so talented. Thanks. And no, it doesn't transfer to any other skills, and I won't be going to college. OK. OK.

Well, I'm glad you're glad you did it. Oh, god. Blow my shit off smooth. That would be the end of me if I heard that from you. You're glad. You guys should play some COD 4 console with me. It's fun. That's crazy you guys should play some cod for console. That's crazy. I think of our God. Do you know, you know, Ludwig was he was saying that

PSL got too sweaty. You sweaty. Yeah, he's complaining about the people who practice. No, no, he was saying that. I don't need to practice to win a PSL. I promise. He was saying that we came and it was like it was like PSL. And then the next week it was like, OK, we have to play with these rules and these rules and these rules and these rules. And it's like, OK, well, these only benefit that we've played with rules

since the first day here, Nick. Let me step in here as a neutral party. This is also neutral. This is love and core dabbles in PSL who shows up now and then because he's OK. He's like not that good at Call of Duty, but he has a little fun when he goes sometimes. You're a PSL 2 tour? Yeah, I'm a PSL 1 tour if I'm being honest. That's okay.

And I like shown up and I went to the first one if I recall or maybe the second, they'd been using the rules the whole time. So when I heard Ludwig say that, I didn't say anything. Because you were there. I didn't say anything, but I was like, I'm pretty sure they've been using the rules the whole time. Like every single time.

This is just how lovey-dovey he loses at something and he goes nah this shit's fucking whack now. You're trying too hard bro. Trying too hard bro. This is what PSL actually is. We all show up and I'm like alright what do you guys want to play? You want to play like COD 4, S&D, Modern For Two, everyone goes on their phones and they're like oh you know whatever I don't care.

It's like alright well do you guys want like competitive rules set? You want to do like what do you want to do? and they're like, oh, you know, whatever, I don't care. It's like, all right, well, do you guys want like competitive rules set? You want to do like, what do you want to do? And they're like, no. They're like, are you ordering pizza that I want Venum before, by the way? And I'm like, yeah, I'll order pizza for everyone, sure. So, all right, well, I'll just decide, is that cool? They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I just decide, we play, everyone has an awesome time. We leave and we go, it's so awesome, we're doing this. And then Ludwig says, it's sweaty now. You know what's crazy? That's what happens. You know what's crazy is, I feel like. See what's crazy is I feel like on the podcast you know maybe in general Nick might choose to exaggerate an element of that retelling. Okay. To make it sound a little better. You're saying that this is accurate. But this is bar for bar what happens. This is exactly what happens every time.

Okay. Interesting. Down to the pizza order. Down, down to the pizza order. Down to the expected Nick pizza order. And then when the pizza comes, they're like, you only got two? And I'm like. It is dumb as shit to only get two. I'm like. So you should think about that. It's not dumb. You know why it's not dumb?

Ah, this pisses me off. Is it because, is there pizza left over? I said, raise your hand if I order pizza, if you will want pizza. OK. And four people raise their hand. So I said, OK, I'll order two because they're huge and then when it comes everyone wants pizza and they're like Why do you get to like we're all gonna eat and they're all making fun of me? How do you deal and I'm like I just go like I'd be furious. I'm like, haha. Yeah, sorry I'll order more next time. Does Nick get regularly mugged at PSL dude hundred thousand views

And Alex is supposed to be my fucking twin And not twin Alex is not bringing a lot of leadership to 10 deadliest snake battles dude He got so mad when we were streaming and he was like I thought I said but he was just like bro I bought all that fucking PSL stuff with you was trying to like make an argument And I'm like well you haven't been mode me for it yet Crashing down And I'm like well you haven't been mode me for it yet It's funny that like a few things will get to him, but calling him broke on stream It's the one thing that will trigger a synapse

Hey, well, I hope you enjoyed this extremely nerdy episode of The Yard. Yeah, this one has- sometimes when Ludwig leaves, we all thought, hey, we should do a concept, and then we all got really busy and didn't do one, so instead he spent- Yeah, I was busy. He was up till five in the morning. I'm busy. What were you doing? Uh, I was looking at apartments. Who asked you?

I hate when you do this. Every- worst part of my day. Worst part of my day, right here. Right here, right now. I thought it hate when you do this. Every, worst part of my day. Worst part of my day, right here. I thought it was when you walked in. We'll see you in the Patreon episode, which is on the Patreon where the episode is. Ludwig will be back. Ludwig will be back. I'll be gone.

Will he? I'm leaving right now. That's actually crazy. Literally, Ryan, I'm gonna call the uber. Aiden's leaving, Ludwig will be back tomorrow, which is the primo, which you can access now. He'll not be Kirby anymore. I'm calling you. We all hope you have a wonderful time.

If you want to play Call of Duty Pro Mod, I have a patch. So there's only one lobby, so just get on. And Nick's going to open up a forum. Okay, sign up soon. Bye. No rides available. That's bad.
