Starting point is 00:00:00 I don't think a man with anime skateboards on the wall is progressing at a fast rate. If you have a kid you are. Whoa, whoa. Yeah. Oh, my bad. What's wrong with that? I don't think you have a single skateboard. I do have a skateboard.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Where is it? Three. What's on that? Three skateboards. I got three skateboards. Okay, let's name them. Three boards. I got a South Park one.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Okay. I have... Name two characters from South Park. Cartman and Towley. Towley? Towley? He says Towley? Towley's the one whose name is what he is.
Starting point is 00:00:49 He knows Ball. The one that a child could remember. Ball knower. He's a ball knower. Wow. Okay. And then I have one of my sister painted me with my childhood favorite stuffed animal Ziggie on it okay and then I got a Ryan
Starting point is 00:01:02 Shackler board you're gonna cry in Shackler board no no it's fucking Ryan and people like you got his life is like him because he's a Red Bull athlete I like him because he knows how to fucking skate and he was hot when he was 16 when I was 13 sure wait wait wait wait no I get it when you were 13 yeah yes when you were 13 he was I thought he was hot when he was 16 were you hot huh no was chopped. You were chopped. Chop 13, hot 16. I wish I could be hot like Ryan. Ryan, I think we've done this before, but he has to have
Starting point is 00:01:35 a chopped hairline now, right? Yes, we've done this. Yes, he does. Thank you. I thought he shaves that shit, but it still looks good. It was widows peaking, for sure. It's not like him. Not like him. Sometimes you forget. Oh, Ryan.
Starting point is 00:01:51 What's wrong? Nothing, man. What's wrong, sweetie? It's so shaved. It's just so... You're beautiful hard-launched glasses, friends. It's so shaved, man. attention to them. Why not? Why would I not bring attention to it? It looks like they came from the land that never was in Kingdom Hearts 2. No, bro, it's the Zenozziol glasses. My, my, my, my, my prescription, Zin, I don't know how you say it in Zinon. My prescript zins. Yeah. And it's the kind of, prescribes zins. My prescription major.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Me and Lubbock had an idea on our trip where we became best friends and the new, uh, the new dynamic duo on the show. Okay. Wow. You just want to hear I, sorry boys. Yeah. You guys. You guys sure how it is no. Okay. Do you want to tell them? Okay. Huh? Do you want to tell me the idea? Uh, no, I don't. Okay. I'll do it. Dynamic sounds really good by the way. Wow. It's off to a great start. We did come up with it together. So. No, it feels like it. Aidan is trapped into your seat. I'm sitting here trying to remember what it is. That's what I'm doing. We're dynamic. I want you guys to know, but I'm trying to remember. The idea we had in the airport. We flew on 9-11. Wow. We did fly on 9-11. Okay. We flew on 9-11. So, Ludwig kept asking the woman next to us if she needs protection and that he's here for her.
Starting point is 00:03:01 No, you didn't. I went, do you know what day it is? That's crazy. I can take care of you. So you're Mark Wahlberging is just somewhere in a woman. I lean over, I go, hey, if anything happens.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Just know. Ludwig did do something funny on the plane because I'm, you know, I'm his passenger princess because he had a secret shoot in New York and I just went along for the ride because I had to go out there too. Well, Ludwig pays for the monkey.
Starting point is 00:03:28 The monkey pays for the monkey. The monkey is Ludwig. Mr. Pays for it. The monkey was paid for it. That was a good monkey. You shelled out for the monkey. Yeah. Let the monkey know that the monkey will be taken care of.
Starting point is 00:03:41 With those glasses. You said, I want you. I said if anything were going to happen on that plane. To that monkey, I would step between it. Ludwig bought those glasses for the monkey. Less than 24 hours from the flight, I'm trying to get Ludwig to send me my confirmation code, and he hasn't sent it yet.
Starting point is 00:03:54 And I want to put TSA pre-on. my ticket. And he finally, he finally texted me and he goes, I did something crazy with our flight. Our flight on 9-11. He's like, I did something crazy. I wanted to remember at the 9-11. And so I'm thinking like, what could he possibly mean? Maybe he means like, I booked us first class. Yeah. But that's not crazy for love week. No. He wouldn't, he wouldn't pre-jack something like that. He would, we would just show up and he'd be like, yeah, first class. What are you fucking mean, man? Or he'd probably a prank on me where I'm in coach and he's in first class, which I don't think he'd actually do. So we, we, I finally get my comment.
Starting point is 00:04:26 confirmation code, and I notice, I don't have one ticket, I have three. Ludwig booked me a row on the plane. What? And he booked himself a row on the plane. Was the row across from each other? They were, they were front and back, and it's six total seats. It wasn't two, two. Did you lay them all down and put a blanket down? Well, we get to the airport, pretty late, because I left my phone in the Uber, and we had to
Starting point is 00:04:52 wait for it to come back. Dull. And, yeah, that was my big L. and so apparently when you book multiple seats I didn't know this and Ludwig did know this in a weird way This is fat guy tech You have to this is fat guy tech If you're out there and you're in your large
Starting point is 00:05:06 Sorry for that we're sold out so fast in the merch And also you probably know this You have to put X's You put XS It says for extra seat in your middle name In your middle name Wow If you don't do that
Starting point is 00:05:20 They assume it's like what a mistake Yeah like you've bought the two of the ticket for the same plane. It's going to give your seats away. Yeah. So Ludwig does not put excess with his own name, but he does with mine. So I don't, so he knows the tech. No, hold up. Let me defend myself.
Starting point is 00:05:37 It's because the fucking terrorists at the airline company, okay, who probably did 9-11. If you think about it, they operate the planes. Complicit, because why did the plane even take off? And they say planes fly themselves. Why do they fly another tower then? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:54 That's a good question. that we didn't ask at the time, but we should ask it now. Why do they do that? So anyway, I... Checking Delta's autopilot. It's just so low through New York. I mean, it's worked out in the past, so...
Starting point is 00:06:10 We don't know how to do it, so... It tries to go vertical between them. Yeah, I... The business class, there's one left, and I thought about it. I thought about it. You thought about leaving your pillow princess behind in the dirt realm? I thought about it.
Starting point is 00:06:28 I wouldn't be upset. Wait, what airline is this? This is Delta. Delta. Oh. So it's probably better to have the row because you can actually lay down, right? Well, that's what I was thinking. So I get the row for Nick, and it was way cheaper than a business class flight.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yeah. It was like the business class flight's $3,000 a ticket, insane. And the three seats was $1,200. So I was like, let me just get it. Let me get a fucking row. Interesting. Let me ball out because we had a red eye. and we have to fucking hit the ground running
Starting point is 00:06:55 the next day you and sleep but then when I go to book mine the airlines figured my fucking jig and they increased the ticket from 400 to 1200 oh yeah for one of the seats so then I decided
Starting point is 00:07:10 in coach so I decided I'd be tricky I'd be shifty I'd get three different devices and I'd book the 400 because you buy one it's only 400 so I'd buy three ones at the same time and I went boop and then it fucking caught me because it said the loading wheel
Starting point is 00:07:27 and then one went through and then the other two were like sorry the price has changed at checkout it said the price has changed that's crazy actually and so I was like son of a bitch were they allowed to do that so you had to sit next to some poor woman
Starting point is 00:07:41 who got the brunt of your fury what actually ended up happening is I sat in the same row as Nick and we used the middle seat as like our trash seat and the lady in the row in front lied down because she had that whole bitch to herself. And so a Ludwig basically paid for what?
Starting point is 00:08:01 You paid, do you get a refund on the first two? I get a refund on one. You paid for four seats and neither of you got the benefit of the row. I paid for five. I paid for four seats because I got a refund on one. So I paid for four seats and I got the benefit of sitting of the middle seats. Dude.
Starting point is 00:08:17 The benefit of three seats. And I gave a nice lady an entire road to herself. You said, hello, lady. It's terrorism day, lady. This was also, and I leaned over and I said, and I said, these next five minutes won't be a problem. Cage, we're going into the towers, Cage. Swerf, Kedge.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Swerf, Kage! Swerve Kegh, we're going to-Gabels, no. Jack and Kyle Gass on the tiger. I'm going to have to put it up Osama's ass. Wow. But the funny part also, this flight was packed, like not an open seat on the whole flight. So I was just socially like, oh my God, we're going to be two guys with their own rows. That is gross.
Starting point is 00:09:02 On a fully packed flight where everyone's in a bad mood. It was empty as shit when I bought it to, which is why I went for this play. Literally, everyone's in a horrible mood on this flight. It's a red eye. It's an M.D.R flight. You know when the flight attendants are also mad? Yeah. Like there was his man behind us on the phone, just like having a phone call.
Starting point is 00:09:19 The flight attendant, I'm not exactly a lot of it, you're going to test this. I'm not exaggerating. She's going, sir, you need to get off the phone. And she's like, you're him, I'm her.
Starting point is 00:09:28 This is how close she is. Sir, he's like, sir, you need, yes. And she says it maybe six,
Starting point is 00:09:35 seven, eight times, and he just doesn't get off the phone. Just stays on the phone. That's fucking crazy. And this is the guy right behind us. Fuck you. He was a devious man.
Starting point is 00:09:44 He initially sat in the wrong seat. They came up. They said he just sit in a different seat. And then he needed his like son or, friend I absolutely pulverized I don't know
Starting point is 00:09:55 if they're related they were both the sun and or friend and then I absolutely pulverized Ludwig and tick-dak-toe oh my god you heard DAC in the middle
Starting point is 00:10:02 by the way it's a different type of tic-tac-toe on the plane interesting it's actually better it's actually a good game they actually fixed
Starting point is 00:10:08 they fixed it's only on Delta it's not tic-tac-toe at all it's actually connect four it's just connect four except there's
Starting point is 00:10:18 certain different Certain holes are question marks, and if you get to them, you get power-ups. So you're next, you have the option to play a power-up. But it's called Tick-Tag-Dag-O. Tick-Dact-T-O. And the power-ups are pretty beast. So like- It's like a bullshit game, and Nick was fucking rolling good power-ups.
Starting point is 00:10:37 He un-solved. He's rolling great power-ups. He tends to roll good. I just say he rolls good. I think I six-woned him. Six-won? That's embarrassing. Not a sweet.
Starting point is 00:10:46 He rolled good for me. Yeah, I don't know. You get aces that many times. it's either something's wrong with you or something's wrong with the bro you get the wind power up you're just fucked and I kept getting the wind power up the wind is pretty good because it takes the whole board and rotates it
Starting point is 00:10:59 and it confuses it and then it changes you might have a couple four in a rows and it didn't zip or I send you something in the group chat can you pull it up whenever you can um but you just did not to use wind did you guys have lost did you guys have a lovely time oh
Starting point is 00:11:15 this is a the kingdom hearts thing what yeah and making fun of me is dead it's a key it's the key blade to become one of kingdom hearts and he wants to see how these are like my glasses that's what you put on your face so wow maybe we just do like a round of applause or where does he get the keyblade from he gets it from a nobody oh because it's it's the world that ever was dude this weekend i went to winatchie for uh a bachelor party for My best friend from high school.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Where the hell is that? Wenatchi. It's in the mountains in Washington. Why did you say Winachi? What do you mean? Is it known? How you say it? No, like the place.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Winashy? I don't know. If you're from Washington, he said it like it's like we all go there for Washington. He said it like have a suit. Winachy, Washington. Yeah, I guess it is saying you went to Rifle, Colorado. Yeah, I went to Rifle Colorado. I went to Rifle.
Starting point is 00:12:18 And everybody was, what do you mean rifle? All right, so what was in Wenatchi? Well, his is the Bachelor, the presumed groom, he's a huge fan of Kingdom Hearts, and on the second night that we're all hanging out, one of our friends, who's also Nick, comes out dressed in a full, like, wizard costume, and he's playing runescape, like wizard music
Starting point is 00:12:41 out of a Bluetooth speaker, and he's changed his voice, and he's like, everyone, come for the ceremony! and he, and he, he's, and we're all like, what the fuck's going on? Nobody knows what's happening. He ushers everyone down and he has crafted like three challenges through the house and like guides us through the ceremony of how our groom, Alec, is, is becoming the protector
Starting point is 00:13:05 of the realm. And at the end, he gave him a keyblade, like a full remade keyblade from his, like, favorite video game. Was the groom, was he, like, stoked on this? Yeah, he thought it. It sounds awesome. Yeah, it was funny. Funny is the best you can get in that situation.
Starting point is 00:13:22 It's really hit or miss. It's really, this is the most dope shit ever. It can be fun activity. Or it's like, oh, God, this is. I mean,
Starting point is 00:13:26 it doesn't fucking hold a candle to tempers fucking bachelor party. Dude, he had it at Scooter's jungle. There was a bounce house. That shit was late. Oh. I will say from what it sounds like
Starting point is 00:13:42 as a kingdom heart's head and, you know, another one on the panel here. It sounds like he kind of fucked up. It sounds like nothing had to do with Kingdom Hearts He's low Kingdom Hearts The Keyblade out of the end of it The key blade at the end doesn't kind of make sense
Starting point is 00:13:54 Like Kingdom Hearts are very So he tied it in Like he kept calling us Organization 19 Because there's 19 people there And uh Good reference W reference And Nick doesn't play Kingdom Hearts at all
Starting point is 00:14:08 I can tell Which makes it He's saying RuneScape Which makes it funnier The things you can find from Google He's the RuneScape He's the RuneScape He's the RuneScape Skits out
Starting point is 00:14:16 It's so funny to be like oh my friend really likes Kingdom Hearts how can I make RuneScape a part of this It's more like he loves Kingdom Hearts But I've only ever consumed Runecape Yeah how do I get there But the key blade he got at the end Looked almost exactly like that one
Starting point is 00:14:30 And I was like that's crazy He's just a fucking fire cake And you're also wearing Mario Goatee I am and I realize that I have something So I was unpacking my backpack in the airport And like getting a charger out of the bottom of the bag And I pulled on the cord
Starting point is 00:14:46 and then up flips onto the ground a Polaroid of Luigi Goetzee and this woman is just looking straight down on it and I kind of make eye contact with her neither of us say anything I put it back in the bag and I was like it's maybe it's time for this Polaroid That's on her, that's on her mind your own fucking business
Starting point is 00:15:04 On 9-11 you mind your own fucking business because you never know what'll happen Why are you not allowed to have a bag filled with Luigi Goetzee's? I it just it feels like she might have different X-Way of what I'm about, you know? What does she need to even have an expectation?
Starting point is 00:15:22 Her expectation should be that you don't have a bomb. Maybe I need to set myself free. That's it. Maybe I need to set myself free, bro. You could have 80 dildos in there on your way to a fucking NFL game. That's what his fucking country was built on. Having dildos if you want.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Do you think you can bring, don't you think that would qualify as a weapon? If you bring a big enough dildo on a plane? I mean, there's definitely dildos that would be classified as weapons, I don't think the ones that you're rocking Get there. Are you saying he uses small dildo?
Starting point is 00:15:51 What is that? What is that fucking shot? I don't think you, I don't think you rock cause a powerful of dizzards. If I had them, they would be huge. They would not be weapons. They would not be weapons.
Starting point is 00:16:01 They would be monstrous. They would be qualified as weapons. It is embarrassing to think, like, a dildo is like, okay, you get the big one. We want big dildos. You quiver for some little shit. No, I would.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Do they make small dildos? That's my question. Yes. Like, do they make a dildo the size of my dick. Let me tell you, Most. What are you talking about? I'm talking about a dildo not a vibrational.
Starting point is 00:16:20 That was still most. Not a vibrational. I think most. I've seen the cock you rock. Yeah. I think most. You think most. You haven't seen that cock hard.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I don't think so. Also hard, it'd be really funny to have a dildo that size of my dick. It would be so funny. He'd be like, why? Why do they make it? That might be most of them. I think it's most. I mean, maybe, you know, a little bigger.
Starting point is 00:16:45 A little bit Like, you know, slightly But around the size My beef is when they have dildos that are like Pikachu and stuff You've seen like the crazy characters Or it's like Pickle Rick And it's like who's
Starting point is 00:16:59 Pickle Rick makes sense Whose preference is that though Imagine having an earth-shattering orgasm To Pickle-Rick It was like that guy who was Showcasing What's the ones where it's the Tubes?
Starting point is 00:17:13 Flashlights Okay You're showcasing fleshlights on TikTok. Yeah. But there'd be like crazy Rick and Morty mouth. I feel like... Oh my God. Do you remember this one? Pickle Rick Dildo might be, it's a dildo that's been used in
Starting point is 00:17:25 more sexual encounters that are filmed than not. There has to be a pickle rick porn scene where someone is just dressed in green. This guy, he shows off fleshlights. So he's got like the tone. Oh, no, Mike Wazowseye. He's got the tone made of fleshlight.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Oh, leave Mike out of this man. All he does is show ridiculous ones. And definitely Don't look up burdo. They both got the teeth out too. I don't like that. Dude, Mike Wissowski and it's poking out the back of his skin. Oh, you know what? Oh, my God. Yuck. We've done this bit for sure. He's doing the thing, but it's just his whole head. Damn, you think Sully's got hair on it? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Why not? Up to the tip. No, monkeys have like bare ass red penis. And the tip is pink. Oh, but he's not a monkey. No, but what I'm saying is like, animals that we see their penises red bear how many animal penises you seen so many like so my dogs a cowl you see a dog oh a skull oh this one's just inclusive have you seen
Starting point is 00:18:27 have you seen a giraffe penis day of the dead the death I can't I don't want to okay have you I think we have on this pod no yeah we've probably seen mostly animal pieces we've seen it's probably been on this pot yeah on our trip we went to we went a land cafe. We ran into shake drizzle in New York. This is real. What do you talk? He was actually He was actually... Oh my God, it's right. He went to Wolfpack. And so we had up a land cafe. We three-stacked some league.
Starting point is 00:18:55 And the piece, this is the same place that I went to with CP. And we sat down at this computer, Lubbeck sat down on a computer and the last person left their whole life logged in. They were logged in on everything. They logged into their Google suite. They were logged into Discord. I had access to the Twitter.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And they were following a lot of right wing. Oh, they were falling hell of right wing pundits. And they were probably logged in for a while because I went to their Discord and their name on Discord was I Love Children. Yeah, their Discord name was I Love Children, All Caps. And I felt like I love Maconan. I thought it was self-and-I thought that's like
Starting point is 00:19:30 just what they call themselves on Discord. It was like weird. And then I realized, oh no, someone just changed it because they've just been logged in. You weren't the first one there. I don't know if that's true. It is. And I know it's true because I entered a Discord call.
Starting point is 00:19:43 What? But did they mention it? Yeah, I was on his account and I went into a Discord course. Yeah, that's so sick. This is where I was going. And it was like one of the top, you know, discords was popping and I hop in. And the moment I hop in the guy goes, Ribbon. He goes, no, it was really sweet.
Starting point is 00:20:01 He goes, hey Rubin. And he's, and he's like all excited to see Rubin. And then there's, it's like a girl too. She's like, oh my gosh, Rubin. Oh my God, he doesn't show up in the call on. That's what they're like, he's back. That's how they phrased it, like, he's back. And I was like, and I was like, what up to Rubin?
Starting point is 00:20:18 Dude, that's so funny. And I think, that's not Rubin. I think Ruben must sound like a quivering pussy comparatively, because they instantly clocked. I wasn't Rubin. And love goes, what do you mean? I love children. Dude, do you think that maybe that,
Starting point is 00:20:40 maybe this is thinking of a better world where, The Twitter account was normal, but then someone followed a bunch of right-wing stuff. The way we ruined that one guy's algorithm in the Airbnb. It was very subtle, like, Trump retweets. It wasn't like the funny ones. It was just, like, random announcements. I read one DM, and it said, Steve Bannon is back, exclamation point. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:59 I've never heard someone say that before. That is crazy. By the way, the computers run like shit. No, they're great. Oh, interesting. Except for mine, because within about 30, seconds of hitting the PC Cafe. The second we get that.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I'm waiting for Nick because he's getting his stuff set up. And so I'm like, oh my God, I would love to read the newest chapter of One Piece. Of course. What? Is that not something that you do at a Land Cafe? Read One Piece? Yes, read manga. That's normal.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Well, did you get butt-ass naked like you usually do? Yeah. Because that's the problem. I'm butt-ass naked. And then I go to read it. But now, I should clarify. I'm reading it on TCB scans because it's not available through the official release. And so when I open it, it says, you have to click this box to prove you're a human.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I go, fair, of course. And then it says, like, click here to read. And I click here. And then something downloads. And I'm like, that's weird. I don't want to download it. I want to watch it in my browser. It's usually weird because it's weird.
Starting point is 00:22:08 And then I, I, I, I, I, Re-click it because I feel like it is something wrong and then as I do that it pops up with fucking McAfee Antivirus pop-ups Like on the computer just goes ding he's getting like three a minute it's so It's literally like I drag it and it and at 15 seconds later it's like ding and it's like another fucking Did you brick a Lancaffe? I know I just threw a bunch of adware on it It loves like I think I gave the computer malware and I'm like dude we've been here for like five minutes how the fuck you do that like one piece. I'm like, I hate you so much. And I couldn't even get the one piece thing open without ad block. It was literally too hard to do without ad block. The guy comes
Starting point is 00:22:50 over, the guy who like runs the cafe comes over and he's like, hey, did you download anything? No. He dead ass said that. He was like, so embarrassing. He was like, he was pretty high here. Do you download anything? I went, nope. Why would you say no? Why would you say no? Fuck as fuck him. Nope. No what do you mean? What I mean? We're gonna know somebody else. Hold up. Hold up. I have many evil thoughts there. I thought about tweeting on this guy's account. I thought about messaging someone. I thought about being mischievous, okay?
Starting point is 00:23:16 But here's how I ended it, okay? I didn't do anything on his accounts. But I left- Joined the call. Nope, I just opened every single tab that he was logged into and I left it open. And I said,
Starting point is 00:23:25 if the next person wants to be a fucking evil person, that's on them. I've done nothing wrong here. I think that's fine. I think that's fine. You're in a fucking Lankfay and log out of your shit.
Starting point is 00:23:35 I did nothing. To be, to be like completely fair to this guy, I don't know how it works. It's very confusing. because so like you you don't just like get on a computer and like play games it's like you have an account at the land cafe yeah and it's what's supposed to happen is when you log into your account if you have if you have passwords saved and stuff or whatever or i think it's just full wipes every time you leave it's what's supposed to happen like a library like logs out of the whole thing when i when i use these PCs on my account i check every single time i log in i play i log out of oh my god i didn't log out of anything i log back in and it auto logged me out of everything i don't know why Whenever I go and sit down, the last person is logged in, but it never happens to me. Maybe he paid for like two hours, an hour goes by.
Starting point is 00:24:20 He loses his league game, and he's like, oh my God, I'm late for the rally. Maybe he does like an auto save feature or something. I don't know. But he's not logged in. I'm logged in. It's weird. It's not really no, no, it's super matter. But I just go back in hindsight.
Starting point is 00:24:32 You can just go onto your accounts from home and just unlog yourself from home, which is what I make sure. And what I said, by the way, when I left to the owner, okay, who was smoking a cigarette. at a minute. And he's outside smoking a cigarette. I go, I think the last guy might have downloaded some malware on my computer. And I went, maybe that was the ping issue. And he goes,
Starting point is 00:24:55 no, the ping issue is something else. Someone was downloading a game. So you're good. And I went, I went. But I think it's maybe it's a power. Maybe. There's Bonzi, buddy, jumping from monitor to monitor on every computer. He's just like, yeah I guess this is a fucking big a guest
Starting point is 00:25:13 So we just showed up We entered all of our games Downloaded malware Hacked a guy Committed a crime And won a road game And then won the road game And then peace the fuck out
Starting point is 00:25:24 And then shake drizzle Slept on our couch Shake drizzle Linking up with you guys is crazy It was awesome It was awesome He got mad at me Because the other day
Starting point is 00:25:34 We were talking about like I was talking about how people In Grandmaster would be like Low Master dog pig, and I was like, Shakespeare's been playing his whole life he's Lottmaster. He messaged me this morning, and he's like, I'm feeling my whole life. He's like, I played for seasons one through
Starting point is 00:25:49 three, and then one year since today, last year when Ludwig started playing it because he made me play. I'm playing my whole life, and I was like, oh, he threw in because he made me play? Yeah. Because I don't fucking play. Well, last year. He's still playing.
Starting point is 00:26:05 He is still playing. Yeah, but you got him back on the smoke. is crazy. It's not, like, I got him back on the fucking smoke. This isn't crack cocaine. It's not Charlie Sheen's fucking story. No, I think it is that. It kind of is.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Charlie Sheen notes that he got addicted to crack when he did it for his first time and he got a blow job from a hooker. Oh, at the same time? Yes. That's dangerous. I will, yeah. Because it combines the feelings.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Oh, yeah. Yes, and he never went back. But I did not blow shake drizzle when he played a fucking game of league. No, you just introduced him to the girl. No, the league is the girl. Yeah, it's an awesome. on and off again relationship
Starting point is 00:26:40 with the worst girl that he's ever hated. Here's the real tea that people don't want to say. You did what you did at the Land Cafe. You set out the blow and then called the girl over
Starting point is 00:26:49 and said, I don't know what happens next. Like a fucking... I think, I think genuinely League is not the problem. Excuse me, Sister. League is not some
Starting point is 00:27:00 like crack cocaine blow job that you can't help possibly succumb to. I think the problem is ego. Ego. That's the problem. People who are addicted to league
Starting point is 00:27:14 are obsessed with their own ego and they think that they deserve some crazy rank and that's and that the ride is holding it away from it. And literally, and literally, period, by the way. And they need to play to prove to
Starting point is 00:27:30 the world that they are the rank they think they are. I disagree, cock sucker and here's why. I don't think. I've been playing normals and I just really want to play. It gives you addictive cookies. That's because you are literally doing like edging. You're gooning. I'm not going. Yeah, you're only allowed to play 21 ranked games a fucking week and so you had four days where you couldn't play ranked. So you're dead ass edging because you're waiting for your rank. You're fucking edging. You would never, you would never play a normal if you were
Starting point is 00:27:55 never fucking play a normal. You would never play a normal if you weren't limited. You're fucking edging. You're edged in the car on the way here. That's why you were fucking late. You're edging and you couldn't wait for yesterday when Sunday hit and you got oh my God, I got to ranked. I did. It's so much harder. It's like we set up this system. It's like this beautiful system so that we don't play too much league. And in your head, you're like, I'll just play normal. That's different. Okay, okay. Nick, we went to a land cafe and played on it all. I was bonding with you. I know, but you're not better. I wouldn't have gone there alone. No, no, no, no, no. No, sure, for sure. Are most people playing A-Ramp?
Starting point is 00:28:30 Most people play league, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But they're not. You're wrong. No, I'm saying I'm saying You're a wrong bitch I'm saying in the shake drizzle sense Because he's saying that I am the one Who brought him back to league Miles actually Miles actually put it like really
Starting point is 00:28:43 Eloquently recently He like said like league is a Is a game for people Who are looking for a very specific Type of dopamine And your whole game You were just looking for situations Where you can land that dopamine cycle
Starting point is 00:28:56 And if you miss it A.k.a. your team fucking into or you get killed or whatever That's what makes you tilt is you're not getting the dopamine You came here and looked for specifically. Winning feels pretty good, but winning and also doing those things is what you
Starting point is 00:29:08 really want. And I think that, especially why A-RAM is popular, is because it's just only that part. It distills the crazy dopamine releases. It's just, you just literally, and then you have none of the potential downside of defeat. Why are you addicted
Starting point is 00:29:24 to counterstrike, bitch? What do you wake up and queue for? What do I wake up in Q for? Like, what do you look forward to? What is it all about? Is it headshots? Is it clutches? Is your shirt off your chie? No, keep it on.
Starting point is 00:29:39 I like it. What's it all about? You want me to wrap up? What's it? The whole thing. What is it, million dollar boy? It's like a rank, no?
Starting point is 00:29:49 Like 20 fucking 1K. No. I think not in general. I really, really like the, like, fundamental improvement at the game. Like, I think it is fun to explore these different parts
Starting point is 00:30:03 of, attack shooter that I previously got kind of good at in Valerant and applied to something new and like learn all these like little things and try to pull it together into a win and then just try to do that over and over and get a little better than I get a little better than I was the day before I guess what I'm thinking of specifically is like in street fighter cammy has crouching medium punch and it has a fucked up hit box that you kind of invisible and you can whiff punish people with it and if you're fucking sick you hit them and then you do a combo and you kill him
Starting point is 00:30:32 with a move that kind of shouldn't exist and that is what I think I play Street Fighter for in a way So you want to know what my max dopamine moment is in Counter-Strike
Starting point is 00:30:42 it's I think genuinely it's when I call an A split on Mirage like three mid two ramp ramp people wait to push out
Starting point is 00:30:53 we throw two smokes down mid and we pinch with perfect util and we take the site and we win the round that's the highest dopamine that I have I just I just guy just cracked your whole ego man that's that's got your full download a that's the greatest
Starting point is 00:31:06 feeling in the world because it's like so you the greatest feeling in the world is being listened to it's no no no no because if we could do it without me saying anything that would also be great it's the it's the idea of everyone understanding their position and role and us like fully executing the full potential of the game in that moment as a team he's towing in counterstrike oh my god you're getting all the power strips on all the stations he doesn't need the credit he just wants it all to work out and just say he wants the he wants the system to function and he wants everyone to have fun he wants to be with his friends in particular actually i can synthesize it i can synthesize it into the perfect into the perfect moment there was it because me and yingling played so much valor
Starting point is 00:31:45 together and i think there's a lot of we were we were forged in the fires of of doss and co-chain and we both learned the game in a very similar way and as a result we do things when it's just us too without having to talk about everything which is really cool and we do like so there will be a moment where like we're on opposite sides of a fight and we don't have to say anything. And like he swings, shoots, pulling that guy's attention and then I swing and get the kill. And it's like, and that's maxed dopamine.
Starting point is 00:32:14 It's like we played it perfect. Nonverbal like soul link. And we played it perfectly. And it's, and it's, no one had to have amazing aim for that to happen. No one needed the headshot. It was because we executed like a perfect team play in that moment that is so hard to get with a solo cue teammate,
Starting point is 00:32:30 but because we were forged in the fires together. We come out on top I love the fires for you Yeah The fires are where you belong That's what That's what I want I've been stressed out
Starting point is 00:32:41 That's wrong man I'm stressed What's right what's wrong? His love wig said I need to start watching One piece And he got so into it And I was like
Starting point is 00:32:47 I gotta impress my friend I'm gonna start eating gum gum Fruits You're saying only gum gumgum fruits Home at home And I try to I don't But there's no recipes
Starting point is 00:32:55 For gum gum So I'm trying every meal I'm trying to make the fruit In my kitchen It's probably going really bad It's filled with random things from my fridge in my cabinets that I slap with gum together. And I'm stressed that I'm not eating.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I'm not even stressed. Do you realize that planning your meals can be simple and stress-free? Do you realize that? Yeah, you don't have to try to make gum-gum fruit. No. How else I get my friend to like me? You can use Hungry Root, Aiden. You know what last week, Hunger Root sent us some food
Starting point is 00:33:21 and I tried some of it? You know what they sent us? They sent us the grass-fed beef patties, which were delicious, by the way, beef burgers, rather. They were delicious. They tasted exactly like my mama used to make. I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Do I still have to build it from the things in my kitchen? No, you don't have to build anything. They send it to you. They send it to you. You just get to do it. No understanding. Yeah, we also have had the Flaminian tasted like it was straight from Fleming's, the restaurant. It was delicious.

Let's get back to the episode where he's magically going to show up in this chair that he has an ass indented. His is his Cammy fucking... I feel like you, it's when you land three coin flips in a row. And you're like, yes!
Starting point is 00:35:07 The coin flips feel fun, but I have been more disciplined these days in this world. For instance, that crouching medium punch with punish is not a coin flip. That is a calculated, like, landing of a move that is actually pretty safe. And if I hit it, I'm a spacing god. So I've been more precision maxing these days and caring if I, like, play better. Four years ago, it was swinging in front of your... cypher trip and somehow killing four people. And that, when you
Starting point is 00:35:36 describe it like that, it sounds pretty good. You just want to, when you played Valer, you'd put yourself in the worst positions because if you hit the flick, it was like, ooh! Yeah, it was so juicy. It was so juicy. Dude, why did that game fall off? Yeah, me and Lubbocked dog, why did
Starting point is 00:35:51 Vowran felled off? I mean, you've been following it so closely. So massive, man. I think it was our documentary. You think so. I think it's finally. Super T. F watched it on stream. I think it's finally hit in the algorithm? It tainted the Valorant pool. Yep, people found out Loser's Q is real. They admitted it. They were like, why the fuck are we playing this game as losers queue? Watch this documentary I saw. It's on this low-key website. It's like, right-way
Starting point is 00:36:14 probably. Just watch the documentary, bro. It says all for you. We need to get this conspiracy far along enough that they have to YouTube community notes that video. Yeah, I love being shoot. I met someone who said they worked at Riot and I was like, have you seen our documentary? It was in the Slack? And she was like, what? What are you talking about? I was like, never mind. I was all right. Dude, I have, I've been playing normal.
Starting point is 00:36:39 I just, I really want a game these days. And so it's mostly what I do. And I play normals. And I might get chat band before the fucking grace of goal is over. Because they do not like what I say. For some reason, Riot, I've tried to be creative. I've said that basically my juggler, I'll be like, my juggler fucks his sister. What do you want me to do?
Starting point is 00:36:59 Yeah. Wait, pause. Where did you really put your creative input there? Where do you think you influenced that the most? What you're talking about? When you say you want to fuck your sister? You said, I'll be creative. I try to be creative instead of saying like,
Starting point is 00:37:11 child molester. He's trying to be creative in the sense that he's trying to find new ways to insult that aren't. You're trying to date. Hold on. You're flying too close to the sun. You're not, it's not surprising that you would be banned.
Starting point is 00:37:22 You're trying to get around this answer. I'm not, yeah. You thought sister fucker was going to dodge the sensor? Yeah. Well, it has. so far. You want something that cuts through the sensor but is also extremely hurtful still. Yeah. Some guy dude oh my god I was playing a guy in my normal with Zeke because he was just doing so bad. I was like I know it's a normal but Jesus Christ
Starting point is 00:37:44 it is so unlucky to be playing with you it sucks and and I get but then I was like but I guess that's also how league works sometimes you get you and sometimes the other team doesn't get you and then the guy was like he's playing yes so he's like this isn't very nice and I was like I'm not trying to be nice this is this is I had this thought last week when we were describing the things you'd been saying in league jet because when you log on to league and you play people say horrific things in the chat and you and they and they do terrible things and they and they you know there's an array of awful league team mates that we only see through the champion and not the person on the other end and it's very
Starting point is 00:38:25 interesting because in the past two weeks I've realized that you're the one of the guys You're one of the guys that people log on and then talk about after. Only sometimes. I think one doesn't matter. No, but it only has to be sometimes for you to be the guy. I'm okay with it. Because we're all the guys sometimes. One hijack makes you a terrorist.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Sometimes we're all typers. And I'm okay with that. Because most of the time I defen. I am never a typer. I don't think I don't have all chat on. I think that's cap because when you stream to people when you were grinding a bunch of league and you would literally tell your your chatters to kill themselves. that's a way of, that's typing.
Starting point is 00:39:01 No, no, no. That's typing. Like, that's a way of doing that. But the people who logged into play league had a great experience. That chatter who said, why did you flash there? Might have had a bad one. But you're also saying this to the people on your team without them knowing, even though you're being broadcasted.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Why can't you do that? Why can't you be in the shower talking about? I'm not saying you can't. But that's typing. I think he's trying to pull us in. He's trying to whirlpool us into this. All three of us are nothing like you again. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:39:29 What are you? What are you? I'm not. What are you talking about? I hear you have arguments on fucking, like, 40 minute arguments on Cisco. Yeah, but his arguments are always about justice of like a call not being listened to. No, and also I don't fucking, I don't flame the people who like don't listen to the call. I like wait for somebody to get fucking out of pocket and I'm like, you can't, and then I argue with them.
Starting point is 00:39:51 And you're like, sister fucker said what? Yeah. No, I say sister fucker when things go wrong. I don't say it right away when, When we're fucking, when the game starts falling apart, I'm like, I'm just stay quiet, stay quiet, stay quiet, and then shit goes fucking really bad and I'm like, you know what? It's sister fucking time. That's not what happens. It is, I'm being misrepresented. Like the thing, like it's corroborant. You, it's not when things are going really wrong. It's when you think they're going wrong, which is so different in terms of time. Not true. Yes, it is. You give up so much earlier than it's actually done. No smile. Fly and lose his tier one tower. Guess the game's over. Yeah. the whole game's over. I guess it's going to cascade into a beautiful loss. I still play and I don't flame. No, no, no, no, you do flame and you stop playing. No, I don't. Yes, you do. I'm being misrepresented.
Starting point is 00:40:38 I said this before on stream. I actually agree because I watched a few moments in your last stream where you were getting so mad at random shit, like in your chat or like your teammates or whatever, and you would just perma, look at chat, walk down mid, get into a fight because you're walking forward and then die. And then you'd be like, and then I fucking died. So now you're banned. Uh, that happened like once or twice. Look, man, this is your journey. It doesn't happen a lot. This is your journey. It doesn't affect me. But I've talked to many people about your journey. Because they bring it up.
Starting point is 00:41:05 And at basketball, they brought it up. And what nobody ever says is, yeah, as volleyball bear is pretty good in Lane. They bring up consistently the way you communicate with people and how angry you get. This is fucking cap, bro. Atrio, that's not me. Atriott comes to basketball. And he goes, he goes, yeah, I watched slime. He said he was going to be nicer today.
Starting point is 00:41:27 And then he just kept calling. everyone's sister fuckers. I said that, like, twice. Also, I said I was going to be nicer to chat. Which you also weren't, though. I was way nicer than I was the day before. Terrorist downgrades to pedify. There's a mischaracterization that happens
Starting point is 00:41:46 that I am a spiny guy and I get mad and this and that. And when I improve, I still get painted as the same, like, hideous fucking evil monster, which also, I don't think is even that bad compared to most people that play this fucking awful game. Do you think you are not a spiny guy
Starting point is 00:42:04 who gets mad? You said mischaracterizing. No, I am. But I think the severity of which that gets sort of like, I don't know, amplified, specifically on this show, which is fine,
Starting point is 00:42:17 it's a show, is a mischaracterization that ends up, like, leaking into the real life. It's like... I think people, I think you believe people should not count
Starting point is 00:42:27 your extreme moments because they don't represent the average but I think the extreme moments are what people remember I agree
Starting point is 00:42:33 but what it's worth I almost 100% agree with you I think I think you're actually totally right people take a enhanced idea
Starting point is 00:42:43 of your character that is heavily perpetuated through the show but I agree with this too but you take an enhanced defense of your character
Starting point is 00:42:51 yeah someone's gonna defend me because no one else is gonna be you know the guy you did a sprint interview with and he was like
Starting point is 00:42:57 this is a psychotic human being. It's crazy that that guy exists. He's on the opposite side of the prison yard from you, but you're still in the prison guard. That's crazy. That actually, let's go. That's crazy. And honestly, if I'm being honest,
Starting point is 00:43:12 the three of us are on the outside of the fence looking at it. Fat him! Yes, very much so. He's a good boy. Yes. Mr. Kill yourself in chat? You know, this is different. This is different.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Okay, it's different. It is. It's different. Let's just... We might be on trial. We can put him on trial. It's different. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:34 What is... What is your... I'll turn into a baby. No baby. No baby. You should get bitter. Six years older up. What is your idea of yourself?
Starting point is 00:43:44 Like if that guy you did this sprint you with, who is just a genuine psychotic person is like, you know, the far fucking right, evil most, you know, top 0.001%. To be clear, that guy is. Yes. guy is not like you. I'm saying in, in, like, they're not like us. In this gradient, he's in the top point zero, zero one percent of, like, evil people on league. And then, like, you know, all the way over here, like the sweetest angel on League of Legends
Starting point is 00:44:11 with no... Nicest person ever. They just play the game. They love it. They fucking upvote. They communicate well. If you look at all the data, and I'm going to get fucking clown for this. Sure, sure, sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:44:21 And I just want another percentile of evil. If you look at the fucking, all the fucking data, including the highs and the lines and the And also that I'm willing to admit mistakes publicly and personally. And I would love to include that. Because I think that's a big problem with a lot of people. So many people won't even admit it. You're right. You're right. A lot of people won't back down and you back down sometimes. I'm right in the middle.
Starting point is 00:44:42 You are the top 50% of evil. So you're average. Average. You're average. Most people would boot up the game and have like a, again, just a good time learning the game, trying their best. That's not fucking true. That is not true. That's not how people play this game. They log on, they go insane. No, this is... This is the bias of the people you notice. The average person, I would say, boots up the game
Starting point is 00:45:05 and just tries to play it and have a good time. I think it's average person. Three people in chat talk to each other and the other, the rest of them say nothing. Yeah, that's a good point. I think most people don't type, right? Yeah, most people don't type. That are the ones we remember.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Maybe it's a little higher than that. I'm 50%. Still 50%. Yeah. Okay. All right, okay. Because you're taking my typing for like, he types every single game.
Starting point is 00:45:25 I'm going to blow your mind right now. I'm going to blow your mind. the same thing that you're doing with chat where you go, those are the people you remember, that's what people are doing with you. I know. Your most extreme moments, those are the three chatters. And that's okay, I'm just here to set the record straight
Starting point is 00:45:37 for those who wish to listen for two seconds. Yeah. That's all I want to do. Those who are willing to open their fucking minds. Those who are willing to just watch a fucking 10 minute video where we fucking talk to the people at Riot and we've kind of found something out. And it's not what you think it is.
Starting point is 00:45:52 It's not a place that operates business like you thought it did. Redoing the video buffered. movie. We've talked about it. I thought about that the other day. Wait, but I'm like the fuck. I think we brought this up last year, but I'm the fucked up Wojack who's like insane looking. It's like there's Valor it and then there's like league
Starting point is 00:46:08 despair where I'm just like, yeah. I thought it'd be funny if we like shot another one. It was about league, but I was more like slime has somehow convinced me to drink the Kool-Aid now. I'm not like the straight man. So he's fully crazy but I'm inting and getting mad and mad at the game and whatever and you're like the sage,
Starting point is 00:46:26 like I told you I told you and then we both go with a mission that I end up sobered like what the fuck am I doing why am I hanging out I'm like Ferman Supreme I got like necktack shoes
Starting point is 00:46:37 and I look like fucking Rick Ruben and we actually do like like there's Easter eggs and we cross by a room with candles laid in a circle that we don't see and like we hate that there is
Starting point is 00:46:47 something greater but we don't even discover it like I had this whole idea I was thinking about all this the other day oh god I made Nick fucking jealous jealous I'm fucking jealous
Starting point is 00:46:58 I'm fucking jealous you guys had an adventure he got to be your pipe on the trip I don't know he's talking about well apparently in New York this week it's New York fashion week
Starting point is 00:47:06 and wait how is you're gonna set on a rake with this story and we were walking outside the hotel yeah and the bell hop
Starting point is 00:47:15 we're leaving some of our luggage the bellhop goes you guys look great you guys have great outfits thought we were a gay couple you look great
Starting point is 00:47:22 was the bell hop no okay No, no, he's just being very nice, he's giving a, you know, men never hear a compliment until it's on their deathbed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But what I found is that gay men, or I guess, sort of openly gay men are much more willing to be, like, compliment you, which is always a nice feeling. He could have been, or closet. But you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:47:40 He could have been. He could have been. But he was like, you guys look great. And then, you know, Nick, right after this interaction, turns to me. Yeah, the guy's no longer here. Yeah, the guy's no longer here. He turns to me, and he goes, he was talking about me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:55 He does that. Fucking little assort. I literally was like, you're a charity case. You got included in my outfit. And by the way, I have that shit on. Like, I'm wearing a wife beater. You do, you never have that shit. I'll tell you his exact outfit.
Starting point is 00:48:08 I know my outfit. Wife beater. Wife beater with a Lakers Gap jean jacket. Yep. I'm wearing shorts. Basketball shorts. Basketball shorts.
Starting point is 00:48:16 I'm wearing a fanny pack. This fanny pack. Mid-Caff Nike socks with the Magellos. Magellas. Magellus. Mason Margellas. okay and and I got that shit on and he's wearing the same fucking shorts I wasn't basically the same outfit except a new shirt and not these shoes okay and so
Starting point is 00:48:35 then and so then he says he says mean little fucking comment this mean little comment nasty and so then we go to a store shopping at a store completely far away from this place far away from this place and I and I'm looking for a belt and Nick goes up to this woman who works here he goes hey we're looking for belts and then and then she's like oh yeah it's this way and then and then she stops and she He goes, wow, you guys look great. And then the other store associate, two people. Two people go, yeah, you guys have a great outfit.
Starting point is 00:49:02 They're like, you got that shit on. And we're like, oh my God, thank you. I'm like, what the hell? And so, like, he was fucking, he was trying to fucking take this way from me, but three people vouched that I had that shit on. Like, I know how to fucking style myself. Well, no, no, there's a next part of this story. No, it's the other story.
Starting point is 00:49:19 So we keep walking and bless this nice associate. She's trying to help us out. I go, but if you had to pick one, one. But if you had to pick one and she goes that she points at me like I mean I gotta go. That does that feel bitch? She took a long time to think about it
Starting point is 00:49:36 and then she said right after but I like what you're doing with the Nike socks and the Magellas. Oh and that feels good that when she looked over but that's nice that feels good to you and then after the interaction Lund's like fuck was that I'm like I just had to show you you're getting lumped in I'm not getting lumped in I'm not going to
Starting point is 00:49:52 walk into this door alone I don't know if they're going to be like bro you got that shit on it's basically it's basically like, like, who's the best player in the Dodgers? And she was like, I gotta go to Shohay, but like, Freddie Freeman looks fucking great out there. Yeah, you're Freddie Freeman. I'm okay with being Freddie Freeman. Yeah, only because you're not showay.
Starting point is 00:50:06 What? You know what I mean? Like, you have to take that. You're a bitch. You're a little bitch. No, I'm not a bitch for that. I'm not a bitch for that. To love you credit, his point is not I had that shit on.
Starting point is 00:50:15 His point is why take it away from me? Yeah. Why take it out? You know what? He's right. No, no, there's an answer because it's hilarious. Because usually you guys say that I've bad outfits, which today I'm crushing.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Usually you guys say I have bad outfits. And so, like, I'm trying to fucking prove to you that regular-ass people look at what I've put on and they go damn. I don't, if you were dog-ass ugly, a lot of this shit you do and say would not fly. No one says damn to you, bro, and you're mad about it. And I'm on the team, I'm Freddie Freeman. You're not Freddie Freeman. I'm like a guy in the office. I'm the guy like phoning in New York to see if that play was good.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I'm in the paper. Well, I'm not on the paper. I'm not on the paper. we were walking down the street and there was an ad for the paper we saw or something we were talking about the paper and I was doing a bit where I was like well me and fucking Anthony are going to be famous soon
Starting point is 00:51:05 because we acted with Eric Rayhill who's in the paper and our product's gonna come out after the paper so he'll already be a mega celebrity and then we walk by a billboard for the paper and Ludd's like oh which one is he and it's just everyone in the show besides Eric Rayhill he just didn't make the poster and I'm looking at it I'm like

Starting point is 00:51:45 Okay sorry What What the fuck do you want? I'm doing a bit in my head this week What are you fucking want? What do you think I do with my time? It's just a crazy start To anything
Starting point is 00:51:53 There's a crazy start I were fucking crazy shit all day, but no one says anything. Oh, we're being hurtful today. We're very hurtful. You started, I was doing a bit in my head. Do you not do bits in your head? I mean, like, yeah, but I've never started a sentence like that
Starting point is 00:52:07 ever. Okay, so I guess you were saying, you don't, you don't like be honest. That's not what I said. It's like, I was like, I was taking a dump today. You're like, we're taking a dump? It's like, we all take dumps. It's, I'm just brave. Okay, so you're brave for this. I'm bravely doing a bit in my head where it's like, a guy who's of ventriloquist who wants to kill himself.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Yeah, that's good. He's like, like, oh, my God. Oh, my God, I'm so sad. I'm going to till myself.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Is this not the bar for bar, the Caleb Bitts bit? It's the same voice. But yeah, he can only communicate through the puppet, and he said he's like
Starting point is 00:52:54 doesn't it audience is like, do you ever feel like you're alone in the universe? Do you guys, maybe we should take like each week, it's like one of our turns to take him on a walk. What is how we're on about? I don't need a walk.
Starting point is 00:53:06 The crushing weight of my reality is crashing down on my brain. Oh my God, nothing feels nice any nor. None of the SSRIs are doing anything for my mental state. I'll do first shift. Yeah, first shift. We can hang out this week.
Starting point is 00:53:22 We can hang out this week. Don't worry. Everything that I liked detour doesn't make me feel good any nor. That's right, Ahmed. Geez, Ogma, you sound pretty sad. I am so tear at least a... Peanut. I am being serious.
Starting point is 00:53:43 This is a cry for a felt. See, see, that's what he does. That's what Slat does. Okay? Slat. He's be back. You don't back me up. You don't back me up. You don't fucking back me up in the Salesforce Lamborghini, which I put sugar in the gas tank, bitch. Bitch? I don't say for that to happen. I bricked it. I'm done with it anyway, man.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Yeah, I'm sure you'll ride. The Salesforce Lamborghini's already done. All the happiness from getting it is gone now. Got lemonade stands in the New York Times. Do you know that? Really? They got mentioned in the New York Times because they talked to that fired woman. How do you? You did talk to an unemployed woman. You talk to that meat. She's a damn neat. Damn neat. She's a teacher, bro. I just don't know what to do without my job.
Starting point is 00:54:34 It's okay, Lena. Come on the lemonade sand. And it makes you feel better? This is good news for us. They're falling off drastically. They're falling off? Dras, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Lemonade sand is falling off the face of the fucking er.
Starting point is 00:54:51 We're not falling off. Oh, you're not falling off. We can fucking pull up the numbers. We can pull the numbers. We're falling on too. Why? I heard you talking to Atriag about this yesterday. I...
Starting point is 00:55:02 Go ahead. It could be. It could be us falling off. What do you think that's happening? But why is it happening to a bunch of people at the same time? So... Is it because Doug's HP? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:12 It's not because the HP. Doug is sliding in one frame of HP in every episode. And if you sync up the episodes... Because phase rain went live talking about Doug, Doug. Mm-hmm. You can be right, you lumped them in, man. And you... And he was there with phase temper, bro.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Because Ray was there, bro. Rain has three rules, bro. He talked to two 16-year-old chatpots. Raines had three fucking rules, and that's all he follows. You got to respect that. No fucking petos. No fucking animal abuse. And it's no fucking petos again.
Starting point is 00:55:38 And also I have a fucking photographic memory, bro. Yeah. He was... Is that what Rain is saying? Yeah, yeah. Rain says he can remember everything he ever read. Nick says that shit. Nick says that shit and he's wrong every time.
Starting point is 00:55:50 What are you talking about? Nick, you talk about how good your memory is. I got these memory. It's kind of butt. What? It's falling off. Well, I believe that. Lemonade stand style.
Starting point is 00:55:59 I believe that because I'm becoming your fucking ages. It's a very generic decline. I have a dope-ass memory, but for the useless shit. Not for arguments between friends, which is probably the most useful one. Yeah. Well, I don't think it's the most useful. I think it... Like, if it's a movie quote, I remember the intonation of syllables.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Yeah, you... It's really bad. Oh, you're great with references. I'm terrible with references. You have a powerful brain for any piece of media you consume between the of zero and 18, which is why if I frame our interactions as media, not a other way, then I'm very much able to accurately, photographically remembering, much like phase-rame.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Let me remember this media that I watched, and it's our conversations. Yeah, I have, I would have to do that, which I refuse to do because then that would prove all the people- But here's my prediction, and here's my question. Preds. Two-fold, preads. Two-preds. What is this, a face-step-pring party? Oh, man. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:56:52 I'll have you know the first week I came to L.A. He was the first celebrity I saw Really? I feel the need to defend him Yeah Was he at Puppet? You know, I was in Santa Monica and he was just going on a run And it was like my second day After moving down and I was like
Starting point is 00:57:06 Oh, you must just see these people all the time I have a problem recently where I can smell them through my jeans Smell it through your jeans I can smell them I can smell them Yeah I can smell my own guy through my jeans. So I subscribe to this delivery system monthly. It's about $700 a month. It's ball deodorant. And it doesn't work. It doesn't work. You're still smelling through the jeans.
Starting point is 00:57:35 I smell them through the jeans. It doesn't change anything about it. How long have you been subscribed to the- About two years? Two years? Dude, doing quick math? That is $18,000. Yeah. That is $18,000? I keep calling them and they say, well, how do you figure out, it's that long? At some point you probably wanted to cancel it. So I don't know what to do basically. You shut up about your balls because I think you have an issue that money can't solve. But I have a solution for your fucking funds for your wallet. Okay, sure. Okay. I think it's called Rocket Money. Oh, right. Maybe if he had Rocket Money, he would have found out he had an unwanted subscription because it doesn't work because the smell. Well, I also call them up and I can't cancel. They won't let me cancel. You said, what is it?
Starting point is 00:58:18 It's a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending and helps lowers your bills so you can grow your savings. They say the smell doesn't go away when I call. They say the smell will never disappear a little bit. Oh yeah, you can't see all your subscriptions in one place, Nick. And the dashboard gives you a clear of your expenses across all accounts. You can get alerts if your bills increase too. And the smell's starting to show as a color. They said it's like the jeans are changing color and wear the smell. I have yellow spots on my underwear. Guys, this is all making a lot of sense. And that's why I check my credit score as often as I can because I want to make sure that goes up and the stink goes down.
Starting point is 00:58:52 I didn't, I didn't mention this. It is devastating my credit score because I am overdrafted to all get out. I didn't know the bank and they lowered my credit score because they smelled it through the glass. Three people have gross balls and five million people use rocket money to save over 500 million and cancel subscription. Save members up to 740 a year using the app's premium features. Anyway, I think I guess I'll download this thing, whatever it's called. Please do. Maybe it's called again. Well, cancel your own want to Discretions reach your financial goes fast with rock and money by going to rock and money.com slash the yard. Okay. Yeah, go to rock and money.com slash the yard.

Honey, much as a month. And then, no, it was a fucking factory meal. Okay. And I think what's going to happen, I think all the new head youngens,

They're going to start lit league, or they're going to start fucking, they're going to start fucking lit live. Lit league? I thought you said lit league. We're taking it to Rumble, boys.

Starting point is 01:01:27 It's like, what? Okay. So I was back when we were in fucking Rancho Cucamonga. Back in a Rancho dog. I was thinking, yes, they probably will, like, it's probably a good idea. But if they fuck up the branding,
Starting point is 01:01:42 it could fail so bad. The branding is everything. I don't, I don't know if they'll, I don't know if they'll, this guys the yard I don't we create the org that all the yo we pick them up we pick them up and then we are the old head podcast yeah this is we're like fucking hector from optic and we're like fucking who's the old head of phase and right yeah and like magic I can go to
Starting point is 01:02:03 more tournaments and then this is instead of phase up it's like yo yard up yeah I do like yard up we get really big we get really big we're signing it's lacey it's jason but we We still sign Magi. Yeah, Maji still gets Yeah, we sign Magi That's our Spargo. We need, we need We need our famous Spargo.
Starting point is 01:02:22 We signed Magi before Ron. Yeah. Okay. I'm course. Ron, we're gonna put you at the top of the stack. Yeah. No, you'll be at the top of the stack. If we have to reference the stack,
Starting point is 01:02:32 you've been the top of the stack. But it's just not the right. It's just that she beat. It's just she beat Mango at Genesis. Genesis is not the right time, you know? Here's what matter. Here's what you spawn, Ron, you're spawned Ron. You've been let the spawn all game.
Starting point is 01:02:44 For your preys, here's what matters. owns phase and I think right now apex owner it's in investment team no that is planning on giving it to banks goldman if he pays like enough over time like I think they've loaned him but he already left yeah he owns it he never left bro you're talking multi-level plan oh you're talking he's he's already plotted the I bought phase back he I'm saying like he never like he owns the bitch everyone says he left because I don't think he's like doing as much day to day Dude, in his video, he's like, I left Faze, like two weeks ago, everyone knows that.
Starting point is 01:03:19 He even said that recently, bro. I don't think he left it, left it. Don't look at your phone like the answers are there. I can call. Is this a legend? I'll call Fitt. No. Call, did you call?
Starting point is 01:03:27 For real, for real, face, bangs. You calling Faising. Oh, fuck, it's Lacey. Shit. Yeah, no, no, no, no, hang up, hang up, hang up. Shit, shit. It's his feeding time. He's really bad.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Dude, he actually lost a lot of fucking weight, and he looks good. He does look great. You look, I'm jealous. He weighs less than you, bro. All right, I'll say, look Look at the horseback This is Lacey? Lacey, you know they got plants versus zombies
Starting point is 01:03:52 On the iPads at Olive Garden Because we gotta be quiet for this He does not fuck with this Like he fucks with blood It's crazy, man, you can just play by his versus zombies The whole time you're at Olive Garn now You wait for your crisper's and they're fucking Go for B
Starting point is 01:04:08 You're nodding to like Go for B Go for B the fuck is up go for B you reach fucking phase you reach the fucking
Starting point is 01:04:21 trillus voicemail in the fucking east you're chopped it just plays you're talking about me you can't even get a phone it is what it is you can't even get a phone call back
Starting point is 01:04:29 it is what it's oh oh oh okay shut up now bro yo what up yo yo I had a quick question I'm on I'm on my pod right now
Starting point is 01:04:42 I was just wondering Who owns Faze right now? Who owns Faze? Yeah. Like I forget how it works after it posts back. It went private. Game Square bought it, took it private.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Or no, Game Square is a public company. Game Square bought the company. And then myself and a couple partners went and bought it back from Game Square. And now at this point, it's been distributed throughout the company. Everybody at the company right now,
Starting point is 01:05:13 now, I believe owns shares, all the members own shares. But members of, like, actual phase? Yes. Oh, okay. Okay, so that makes sense. So it's like y'all own it. So it's back to y'all. Well, y'all, y'all using y'all lightly there, I stepped away from phase recently,
Starting point is 01:05:33 and I'm kind of on my own shit right now. Oh, you did it? You gave up your ownership to? Well, no, not necessarily. It's a little bit more complicated than that. It's like a one-day process, you know, I'm kind of figuring out. what the next steps for my own personal life are right now but yeah what you're gonna do um yeah aren't you phased till death i don't know this brother this whole thing's a fucking at this point for me
Starting point is 01:05:55 i feel like i'm i feel like i'm getting every possible sign a human being could get from the universe to just like go a different way in my life i don't know i have a very toxic relationship with this thing man very emotional for me um i did always feel like it was for life but I find myself over and over and over in every rendition, this thing, in every era of phase, like, I'll put this before myself, before my sanity, before my health, like, and it's just like, I don't know. And it always comes full circle and I always wind up feeling like unfulfilled or it's just, you know what I mean? It's not, I don't have a professional relationship with phase. It's a very personal, emotional relationship. Like it's a family type of thing.
Starting point is 01:06:42 and it's just, it's toxic. Yeah. Yeah, man. I don't know. It's heavy. It's heavy. I'm on a whole new, like, fucking path in my life. I've been sober.
Starting point is 01:06:52 I'm trying to be healthy. And I'm just, like, trying to focus on shit that actually brings me joy. And I find fucking fulfillment in, in purpose. And it's just, I don't know necessarily this is it anymore. My whole goal with phase, and it doesn't need to be like this grim fucking super sad thing. My whole goal with phase in this new rendition of phase, this new, this new chapter was to simply bring the brand back it just felt like shit the brand was dead the life got sucked out of it um you know we got fucking we made a bunch of fucking horrible people
Starting point is 01:07:24 rich and we got left holding a bag and all got fucked over it just felt really bad and it would have continued to feel bad for the rest of my life if you know i didn't at least try to like do something with it you know and i think the new guys i think i probably passed the baton off to the new guys and it's fucking cool again and it belongs to them and that's another that's a whole other thing I don't know if necessarily you know my interests and what I'm I'm into and who I am
Starting point is 01:07:52 aligns with this new this new phase shit you know but it's in a good spot now where you could leave it and not feel bad about it that's what I'm saying that's what I'm saying like I feel like in a lot of ways my job is done and honestly dude I thought it would take a lot longer than it did to bring it back to where it's at
Starting point is 01:08:08 the plan was you know two three years that's what I'm saying it was it was fast and I'm really really proud of the spot it's in and I fucking I love the guys and they're killing it and I love what phase is right now but it's not it's just not I'm not sure that it's for me anymore you know which is okay like that's fine it's better than what it was yeah and I'm I'm gonna feel better about it than what I would have felt about it you know what I mean if that makes sense that's that's a lot of introspection. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:39 I don't want to go through the rest of my life fucking what if, what I could or shoulda. So took a stab it
Starting point is 01:08:46 bringing it back and I think we did a good job. I think the job is done. I think that makes sense. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Yeah, I just wasn't sure how it worked, but that makes sense. But it seems like you've been thinking about it a lot. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:08:58 of course. I mean, this is my whole life, right? Yeah. I'm not going to fucking just die and just
Starting point is 01:09:03 it's not, and I'm not, there's no disdain. There's no, like, blood or anything, of course, I fucking, I'll always want this to do well until when I'll always be the biggest fan, you know? Yeah, you don't have to put your time into it like you used to.
Starting point is 01:09:16 That's what it is, man. It's the ties, the 24-7 versus, like, focusing on other shit. So it's 30 plus, though. Yeah, we might as well be dead. That's another thing. That's another thing, you know, everybody fucking, why, why does everybody on Twitter hate old people? Because it's not for the old anymore, all right? We're supposed to be moved on to, I don't know what it will be, box news and golf rounds.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Do you have a kid? I don't have a kid. No, I don't have a kid yet. Should we learn how to play golf? If we both get kids, we can teach him to be golfers. I would love my kid to rival yours. I feel like I might have a kid somewhere. I think you might have a kid somewhere, too.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Maybe. All right, I'll let you go. All right, brother. Appreciate you. Send me anytime. Of course. Peace. First of all.
Starting point is 01:10:04 damn that was pretty moving that was pretty touching that was introspectful second of all we're on fear buck right now so everybody hey the timeline what's up fear book pussy third my impression is pretty good you're too the whole time I'm talking
Starting point is 01:10:19 I'm just thinking about how good your impression it's pretty so I was grappling with the idea of being in his 30s and be like I just don't fucking get this shit anymore I'm like welcome bro welcome it sucks doesn't it
Starting point is 01:10:34 Two people from Faye's ownership come on the pod and just get really vulnerable about what it means to them. You know what that is? That's an L.S. bit. You should bring those motherfuckers on L.S. And talk. And talk fucking business. That's actually not a bad idea.
Starting point is 01:10:51 I know, right? I was thinking that. I was also thinking while Banks was saying all that, word for word, all of that being said to somebody on a phone call, but it's Aiden talking about lemonade sand 10 years from now. Dude I'm too old for this man The new guys
Starting point is 01:11:07 They're great It's like And the new like Doug Doug shaped robot Like he coded to replace him on the show I don't bond with it And it's like way I don't get it Because I'm bringing back HP
Starting point is 01:11:17 Which is what we used to do And nowadays they're saying HP's out I like you always said We made a bunch of horrible people rich I think they're really interesting They really did Dude the more I learned about that story actually
Starting point is 01:11:30 Facts Yeah The story phase is crazy. It is crazy. It's still around. Because I was thinking it is probably more popular now than it's ever been ever. Yeah, definitely. And I think the people who like the new phase, like Jason doing the new phase, old phase,
Starting point is 01:11:46 like the fans of the new phase don't give a shit for the most part about the old one. And I think almost vice versa. There's more overlap of old in the new. But the old people who like old phase are like people holding on to like nostalgia of middle school and high school. And also not consuming content like that. No. We have to ask ourselves, what does a brand, a legacy brand really give you? And it's just for people who are passing by, I think, to be like, I remember that.
Starting point is 01:12:14 That's it. And not necessarily even a nostalgic way. I think about this a lot with Street Fighter. Street Fighter could be a different game with different characters, same mechanics, same everything, but it doesn't have Rio in it. It's not. Yeah. I don't think it's just, like, I remember that.
Starting point is 01:12:26 I think it's like this thing that was important to me for a long time is still important. and that makes me feel good. It's not an evaporated era of my life that I'll never even touch again. It's like I still get to almost larp as if I'm still kind of in that happy place of my life when I was a kid and I was watching Call of Duty and playing with my friends
Starting point is 01:12:45 and like people still care about this thing. But is it so, is it now such a different idea where it's like you see Fais Lacey playing Minecraft with Marlin and you're like, this isn't a trick shot? Like where's the pressure point? I think it's like when Kai goes live with Mafiathon and it's just a sleepover with his friends.
Starting point is 01:13:02 Yeah. It's like, kids are watching just like, that's the coolest shit ever. These guys are rich and they're hanging out with their friends just like I do. I want to be like that. Me and my friends should be lit like this.
Starting point is 01:13:12 Yes. We should make a call of duty team. We should trick shot. Like, it's all the same bones. It's just like more relatable to more people now because it's IRL instead of trapped inside of a single video game, which is call it duty.
Starting point is 01:13:24 I think it's just bigger. I mean, when Lacey makes a shot like that at the party, that's just magic. And you're like, Maybe he wasn't clip farming. Maybe he was just like that. He's just fucking like that. You got to wonder, maybe all of Adap's are first try.
Starting point is 01:13:38 Like, if they're really first trying to the parties in front of all those fucking witnesses, like Adap's probably first trying that shit every time, man. Dude, his, I see clips from his shit, his streams, which is, it's constantly just him getting, like, scared of Legos or, like, thinking about animals. Adap. Yeah. Or, like, he has this, like, wonder to him. Or there was an Amber Alert on his phone, and he grabbed a motorcycle.
Starting point is 01:14:00 He's like, we got to do something. He is a very subtle clip farmer, I guess. Have you seen the compilation of him like being magic? No. Dude, I'll see if I can find it. Keep going, but I'll send it to zipper.
Starting point is 01:14:14 Is it the hot dogs? That's some of them, yeah. Beacon of hot dogs. I think you're talking about the adept inventory spawns. Began hot dogs, do you want to apologize to me? Bro, we talked about this on the pod. On the pod?
Starting point is 01:14:26 Yes. I thought we did it on your stream only. Oh, maybe. It was just your stream. I'm sorry, I guess. Sorry for what? It's like I wasn't even there for it, so does it count? Sorry, I guess.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Do you remember on the primo when you said we're not even in the same conversation? You said it was so much conviction. Yeah, yeah, I just, you know, you're, it was the best of my era, you're the best of your era. Like some people will think Jordan's a goat, some people think LeBron's a goat. It's fine. You're the Michael Jordan, I'm LeBron. Yes, I was better than you. A middle of the road.
Starting point is 01:14:53 Hot dog ateers. I was the goat before you got to this. And now the new era is different. It's different I'm not as into it anymore Right Because the game's just changed The game has changed a lot
Starting point is 01:15:05 It's a very defensive game now Right Are we doing a hot dog Run at Fast 50 or is it too dangerous No it's not too dangerous Another Ludwig event Another tragedy Okay
Starting point is 01:15:16 The hot dog 100 meter dash Is not gonna be a tragedy I think if If someone eats a hot dog And fucking dies And chokes on camera That's bad
Starting point is 01:15:27 It won't be me Because it'll be in my Wiener related tragedy strikes mogul moves again this year at the Ludwig Fast 52 event we're gonna have medics on site okay yeah and we're gonna we're gonna have trained professionals only trained for like myself I knew this is the adapt pulling from his inventory moments dude these actually are so good they kill me Typical
Starting point is 01:16:01 And he spawns a hot dog that he starts heating We'll be able to figure it out bro not bad at all What are they building? I like that safety first I had like a piece of that I want a spider man suit is so fucking bad if I get like a sign Toby McGuire's my favorite Spider-Man no way You know Lacey's piss
Starting point is 01:16:34 It's not his too Dude Leave the guy alone He looks great man We got shilling crazy He's been fucking losing hell away Yeah he's great man What are the fuck am I
Starting point is 01:16:46 I'm fucking 35 Charles Barkley's doing fucking OZempic ads Really? Yeah Oh yeah on the subway bro Charles Parkley's doing fucking OZempic ads On the fucking Subway Oh dude by the New York subway ads Were fucking Ozempic and AI
Starting point is 01:16:58 It was crazy Nick is, by the way, a pathetic, pathetic traveler. Because we are on the fucking subway. Did he get sick on the trip? First off, he's never ridden the subway. So he's real nervous to ride it. They're really scared. Real nervous to ride it.
Starting point is 01:17:12 It wasn't nervous. Because he didn't know what direction it went and trains and outworked. Yeah, and when Ludwig pilots the fucking ship, we go the wrong way. And you know how he does it with confidence. And you know how it works with Nick. All right, we land in New York. He's like, I got a bagel spot. It's 7.3 miles away and open from 1130 to 11.
Starting point is 01:17:29 45. So disingenuous. Can we go? Oh, my God. It's crazy also to have been to New York a lot and never have taken the subway. I'm just saying. And so anyway, I thought you needed a card. I'm forcing Nick to. You don't. Use your Apple Pay. I didn't use Apple Pay now. I just Apple Pay tap and it's one way he goes as long as you want. So we're using the subway to go basically everywhere. And we hop on the subway and we're going to some bagels pot or coffee spot. And, uh, and I'm, I'm doing hello Chinese. Which is. And I'm, I'm doing. And I'm, the part of the story we're talking about. Which is the Duolingo equivalent. Why aren't you using Duolingo? Because Duolingo is chopped at Mandarin. It's chopped in general, but it's also just like another step worse at Mandarin. And Hello Chinese is really good at it's all it does.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Okay. They don't fucking throw in Japanese there too. Sure, sure. So I'm doing my Hello Chinese. Uh, wu, shi, mm-hmm, sure. Ingo. No, no, sure.
Starting point is 01:18:28 Sure. No, say to the back Sure Oh my god Let big brother teach you Sure Sure So anyway I'm doing that
Starting point is 01:18:37 And then I look around And Nick's the Navigator He's got everything Fucking about his phone And he's guided I'm just doing I'm doing Sure You're learning
Starting point is 01:18:45 I'm learning And I look and I go Oh shit That's the stop Because I just saw it on his phone So I run off the train And Nick's like No are you sure
Starting point is 01:18:54 Let me check And he pulls it up And the fucking doors close between us while I'm outside and he's inside you trapped him on the train
Starting point is 01:19:04 and then he fucking flies away and then everybody on the train laughs at him it's true they all fucking laugh at him because he was doing this at the end too
Starting point is 01:19:14 he went a little girl a little girl sitting across he was sitting across the whole ride and goes mom what happened why are they laughing at him oh my god
Starting point is 01:19:21 and she's like his friend his friend got off and I went he got off at the wrong stop I just lied he's at actually a pussy. I was like, you off the wrong stop. I'm like laughing. I'm like, a idiot, got him.
Starting point is 01:19:31 And I had to walk from the next station. I think in that moment, there's a clear difference between you and I, where if Ludwig darts off of a train, no matter what, I will, I will follow that. Nick didn't trust me. No, no, no, no. It's not true. So, so what, God damn it. So first of all, first of all, the bagel thing, I was like, I want to go out of my way to go to light. I'm not going to ask a local.
Starting point is 01:19:56 Last few times I've been here, I've asked a local. I've been pissed off at what I got I'm like New York sucks at bagels New York sucks of bagels So this time I'm gonna do my own research I'm usually pretty good at picking Like spots like this So I'm gonna do my own research
Starting point is 01:20:05 And I picked like a very like popular spot And it was a little further I'm like are you down to go out of our way To like maybe see if this is I've been You know delusioned this whole time That's why I was so far That's also not where we were going in this story Also it sucked but
Starting point is 01:20:18 It was made it was made it was made it was good It was a good bagel He's hard to please He's he can't make him come He just wants to be defensive. Shout out Bell's Begles, L.A. It's just clobbered. I think it's also a New York Bable place, though, but it's here.
Starting point is 01:20:34 Anyway, we're on the thing. And Ludwig makes a comment, it's two more stops. And I'm like, okay. In my brain, two more stops. And then it was the next stop. And he goes, oh, this is it. But I'm computing something he said because he's doing the Chinese thing. I'm like, did he forget that he said that?
Starting point is 01:20:51 And I'm like, oh, let me just, like, make sure. And I'm accustomed to, like, the door speed of, like, fucking Japan. Like you've got some time You know, it's not like In New York Ludwig walks up to the door Almost immediately he bolts to the door And the door just closes on him
Starting point is 01:21:05 But then it immediately reopens The door does that a lot In subways in New York I don't know what it is. He goes like So it's doing like this Mr. Beast kind of level trap on him He walks up and goes oh And then it reopens and it goes out
Starting point is 01:21:18 And then it closes again I just think it's gonna reopen And then it just We both think it's gonna reopen And then it just doesn't And then it just floats away And it just floats away So
Starting point is 01:21:26 Yes, it was a lack of trust But also, you know, the same trip Ludwig goes, this is our fucking train I'm like, are you sure? He's like, yeah. It's just going the opposite direction. We get on, the only reason we found out A fucking fan is on the train and goes, Ludwig, you're Ludwig, right? He's like, yeah. And he's like, hey, by the way, where's this train go?
Starting point is 01:21:45 And the guy's like, oh, you're going the opposite direction. We're on Brooklyn. I was like, oh, fuck. You punch him in the stomach? And I was just like, dude, we wouldn't even have known unless the fan was there. You got to punch on the stomach of run of fans. Can't keep letting him get away. There was one fan who definitely did not know my name. He knew, he recognized me, but didn't know my name and didn't want to admit it. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:22:05 One guy called me Stans. Yeah, we got a whole conversation up, and he goes, dude, fucking Ludwig, stands. I am the biggest unpaid intern fan. And you know, you know us were like, got me guilty stance. He's like, I love unpaid intern. It's me, stands. Ooh, I got to meet up with an 11-year-old. He's stupid years.
Starting point is 01:22:24 I love unpaid interns. I'm like, you can't say that. What do you mean? You can't say that. I'm not saying about Stans. I'm saying, if someone mistakes me for Stans, I'm allowed to say I have a date with an 11-year-old really fast. If someone mistakes him for Stakes.
Starting point is 01:22:38 You can't say 11-11. That is fine. That is fine if you do to that one person, but you can't do it when it happened to Nick pretending you're in his shoes. What you're talking about? I'm pretending. It's a hypothetical situation where we're making jokes. He's got a kid on the way.
Starting point is 01:22:55 He doesn't. have a kid on the way. You don't even think about what he's gonna fucking do his fucking career, bro, what his fucking legacy. It's just fucking like a fucking kid on the way, bro. The Stan show could go down if I say some shit like that. You got a fucking wife, so put some fucking respect on his dad, though. It's actually hell of disrespectful.
Starting point is 01:23:10 That is hell of disrespectful, and you know what, stands? I'm fucking sorry, bro. I got you, bro. I'm the banks of this situation. I do think when you have a kid, sometimes you have to make less jokes about your friends. You got to make less jokes, bro. Anyway, I would do that. The guy walked up, a guy walked past this subway.
Starting point is 01:23:26 And he walked pastes, and then he screamed. He went, I'll do an impression. Woo! And I was like, I turn around, and it's just a guy who recognized Ludwig. Oh. And I was just like, dude, what the, what's the scream about? Have you ever had a screamer before? Does it, fuck, do you think about it?
Starting point is 01:23:45 Huh? Like, when we went to Supernova and you had people waiting for four hours to talk to you, do you ever think, like, this is kind of weird? Tell him about the guy in Joe's pizza. Oh, my God. A Joe's pizza? Yeah, it was Joe's at 4 a. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 01:23:56 Yeah, there was this guy at Joe's pizza because Nick's fat ass was like... Oh my god, you terrorist! You're fucking fat bitch. Dude, dude, fuck you for this. No, like, Tom, catch. Dude, we fucking were walking back for, no, we got out of Uber and we're like, you guys want to get pizza? I'm down for pizza.
Starting point is 01:24:10 Yeah, pizza sounds great right now. We go to a pizza place at fucking 2 a.m. I get three slices. Him and shake both get two each. Three? They call it the bad guy ever. They call that fat guy ever. And I'm like, I don't know, I'll put one in the fridge if I don't want.
Starting point is 01:24:20 Nick goes, but do, babo, bum, bum, bum. When we get back to the hotel, we get back to the hotel, I'm not, but halfway through my second slice, and Lug goes, can I have your third? Okay. He's had two. Okay. You're a fucking oaf. You're a big fat guy. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:24:40 Hey, that's not your dents. He said he was going to put it in the fridge, and I was like, it won't be as good. Might as well enjoy it fresh. And here's a one of those crazy thing. So you have to follow the sword. One of the fucking crazy thing? Yeah. I had a fourth.
Starting point is 01:24:53 No. Yeah, he had shake. You're gonna eat that bit. You're nasty, stinky girl. And these are big fucking new pie slices, bro. Cause shake fucking drizzle did not finish his. Dude, you are a little nasty guy. Yeah, I got fucking big, bro.
Starting point is 01:25:05 And I won 10K from Jason the wean on the court. Dude, I'm not kidding. Ludwig maybe watched him play Jason in basketball on his phone on this trip like five times. Oh, wow. Come off it. Dude, made you watch it. Back off of it. Fuck off of it.
Starting point is 01:25:19 Come off it, dad. Come off it. We're the fucking Uber. My fucking beat Jason, I dig! Archie, join him, man. Fair and square. That's two hours per city, bro. We're in the Uber, and I was just watching the fucking clips back, all right?
Starting point is 01:25:32 Fast forwarding to the Jason's parts, watching his in real time. Yeah, I'm trying to vaude review, bro. Oh, it's wet from free! It was abysmal. Aiden, I am a more successful basketball player than you'll ever be. I've won $10,000. By earnings, yeah. Real fucking story.
Starting point is 01:25:46 By earnings. That's some respect. And I respect you to put my in. By the way, I'm also the 76 highest earning chess player of all time. Is that true? Yes, it is fucking true. I just say, by the way, Ludwig, I haven't watched you play basketball in a while,
Starting point is 01:25:58 but I know you guys, you have your little thing, you play back. Yeah. It's crazy. You can't dribble with your left hand. It's not crazy. You play so much basketball. Can't play on player too. Just grind it.
Starting point is 01:26:07 It's just really hard. Just grind it. You don't try. No, yes, you're right. I don't practice. I show up to Sunday and I play. That's crazy to me. You don't have the opportunity to practice your left hand of those games.
Starting point is 01:26:19 I mean, I guess you could, but you just fucking turn it over it a hundred times. It looked like Atrioc. So it's like, I'm, I'm there. Yeah, we're a teacher that says, I'm neurodivergent and I'm practicing left-hand handles. It basically, it's like melee, right? It's like I show up and I want to play friendlies. I don't care about grinding my fucking tech skill.
Starting point is 01:26:37 No, it's more like you show up and only you play tournament matches. Yeah, no, no, they're friendly. These are friendly. Friendlies are where you. These are friendly. I actually understand a lot. I've just learned a lot about. I promise you what matches are friends.
Starting point is 01:26:47 Well, wait, what happened in Joe's Pizza? Well, at Joe's Pizza, we're in the fucking line. And then this guy's like, oh shit, Ludwig. And I'm like, what's up, dude? And he's talking to me a bit. And he's like, dude, Marlins in town. Yo. No, no, you said, are you from New York?
Starting point is 01:27:02 Well, then that's what he says first. He says, Marlins' town. I go, okay, cool. I go, you from here? He's like, no, I'm from Florida. I'm like, oh, you're on vacation? It's like, yeah, I pulled up because Marlins in town. And I'm like, you came here just because Marlins in town?
Starting point is 01:27:15 He's like, no, it's some other shit. But I saw Marlins in town. What the fuck is going up here? Are you just, fuck it? I think he was too embarrassed to twice admit that he was, he came here because the streamer's here. I think he did as, but he showed up and to run into them. That is pretty embarrassed. I would also be embarrassed.
Starting point is 01:27:32 But then he ran into Ludwig. And then look what happened. Do you think to a guy who's here from Marlon, that's a W. That is a, absolutely not. Because I think his goal is not to meet Marlin off camp. I think his goal is to meet Marlon on stream. So Ludwig off stream is way worse. Oh, that's just, yeah, it's way.
Starting point is 01:27:47 If you fail your Marlin mission and you succeed at your off camp Ludwig mission, Dude, there's a sick clip of when we played me and Jason basketball for 10K. Someone pulls, they definitely stream tonight. They pull up to the park. And they go, you know, Jason, can I get a pick? And Jason does the thing where they take a pick on the stream. Yeah. And then I go, do you want to pick?
Starting point is 01:28:05 And he starts walking over. And then John, Jason Cameron, goes, who is it? What's the name, by the way? And he goes, I don't really watch streams like that. Oh, my God, bro. It's so fun. So I was playing the day that they went and played. Ludwig asked to take my car and he said he said in because you got a four door we'll be
Starting point is 01:28:27 because I got a four door car and he's like we'll be back in 25 minutes back and I'm like okay okay that's good as long as you're back in like as long as you're back in an hour because I want to go play basketball like I'm going to go play tonight and I'm watching the stream I'm like we're we're at the 20 minute mark they're not even done with the first game this does not seem to be on pace and I uber there to meet them and and get my stuff out of my car and go play I'm with a bunch of people playing pickup on the opposite court while they're playing one v1 still which their last game their your first two games were we're fine they like took like 15 20 minutes each right you're the last game last I'm not kidding maybe an hour they take four breaks
Starting point is 01:29:10 during the last game of one v1 basketball there's a point where it's two two and you fast Ford, like 30 minutes in the Vod and it's 2-2 and we're sitting down. Dude, it's like me versus a 6th grader. It is exactly like you were a 6th grader. It was the guy who couldn't hit from 3 but could drive and Jason was the guy who only hits from 3 and can't drive. At that point we were the guys
Starting point is 01:29:32 who couldn't do anything. Yeah, it wasn't going either way and there's a few people like nobody people have been watching this and they're like they're hyped that it's playing out for 10K but a lot of them like don't really know who either of them are and as more and more people show some people actually start to recognize them but they only recognize Jason it's like dude that's
Starting point is 01:29:50 Jason that's Jason the we that's Jason and they're all not a single person in the pickup game there's a couple there's who Ludwig was dude is that the rebel athlete I've seen him in videos and shit and then there's and then there's one there was one kid he was in high school and he had shown up because he lived in the neighborhood and because he recognized a Ludwig instead on the stream that's my shooter played pickup with us for like two hours he had a good time Was he nice? Yeah, he was pretty good, dude. I just had a brain blast.
Starting point is 01:30:18 Oh, my God. Imagine Ludwig was 22 today in 2025. And he wanted to be a streamer. What would he be like? Because he would have to conform to the meta of, you know, the biggest streamer. Oh, bro, I'd be a Jason viewer, right? He'd be wearing a shooting sleeve on stream. Oh, my God, bro.
Starting point is 01:30:39 He'd be so crazy. Dude, the 22-year-old. I'd be marching by the beat of my own drum. Don't you think you'd be IRL streaming more? no dude I don't know man because you would have grown up it's just imagining the Ludwig we know but 10 years younger and then like trying to be a streamer it's he'd have a do right on Jason would be fucking best friends I think no
Starting point is 01:30:59 they'd be locked in like twin no Jason would fuck with him no Jason would not fuck with him why would he not he fucks me now you're not involved love it would be one of those uh he fucks me now would be one of those camera guys that follows him around they stand like it Dude, Ludwig, yeah, Ludwig would be a camera guy turned streamer That would be his path For some reason I think you think that if I was 22 now My interests would change
Starting point is 01:31:23 Yes, because you would have grown up in a different generation You'd be different In 10 years You'd be different No, I would still love Japan No, you're on China now Well, now I'm on China I kept saying Ludwig loves Japan
Starting point is 01:31:35 He goes, no, no, no, I'm on China now I'm on China now You're such a bitch, bro But I will say, Jason fucks with you ironically, bro. No, he does it. You are 30. It's crazy to fuck with you. No, he's W. Unk.
Starting point is 01:31:49 I don't think he's ironic. I'm W. Unk, for real. I think he looks to him for fucking guidance, bro. I think that's for real. We're fucking peers in the fucking battlegrounds of streams, bro. I just bidders around. Are you guys? Have you seen the clip?
Starting point is 01:32:01 This is at Master Baker when he explains what our Patreon does to Jason. And Jason's like, dude, no. fucking away. He's like, wait a minute. What's a website? No, that's this ingenuous. But my question to you, Jubbin, was the last time you gave Jason advice? Was the last time I give Jason advice? I don't really give Jason advice like that. I mean, he has to figure his shit out. I feel like advice isn't really... He's never asked for advice?
Starting point is 01:32:29 Maybe we recorded a show he's doing. I don't think I can leak it, but just like on some of the formatting of it. Did you like it? Did you like it? Did you like it, Woodwood? He doesn't talk like that Offstream Come on Yes Offstream he does not say
