Are the fucking champions My fucking friends And we'll keep our fighting Stroke me out Bambuble brown The champions We're doing What are you talking about?

You used to be the anti-sing guy What happened? Man When you are a victorious Victor and I'm also involved a little bit It's a special opinion Are we rolling? Probably

You know, my boy, my big boy, he put them all wrong. He spit on them. Your guy apologized. You spit on you, the blue bubbles on it. I know. Marky apologized. Cosmonaut Marcus walks it back. Everyone walked it back.

Many were blowing bubbles on it and watching it glisten. I was seeing, I was looking on Twitter and I was seeing lots of people say I was wrong. Mark here's my apology card. Marky even pre-apologized. He tweeted the first round of the first game and said, I saw Ludwig Perry the first Sonic Boom and I stood up in my room. Not a Perry, A perfect Perry. Perfect, excuse me, a perfect Perry.

A perfect Perry. And then you keep moving. That's a lot harder to do. Oh, my Brosky filled out the apology form. He wasn't really hating, but he was, he knows when to apologize. And that was very nice of him. Yes, dude. Everyone's feeling it.

I'm so funny. I looked in the video and you're like my father in the background. I am dead center. Living vicariously through me. You're doing great, sweet. I talked to Nick after in his voice con. What happened to your voice? He's like, I was yelling.

I walked to the letter. He's like, what happened to your voice? And I'm like, you stole it. You stole it with your victory. There's this bar in K-town in L.A. It's called Chi-Chi. It's a pretty fun place. And I'm there with Alex, Yabasa,

and Daniel J. And his fiancee. And Daniel J is a, like a big fighting game TEO, runs the biggest fighting game local in L.A. we have it propped up on the table and the bar is like packed with people and we're just, every time you take around we like scream at the table.

It was awesome. They're watching like the World Cup. Looking over like there's not a World Cup match going on. You should ask the bar, it's just one TV. CheeCis would do it. Put it on. Do you play any games against people? Yeah, we did.

That's the novelty of Cheechees is they have like little iPads and you can play against other tables and wager alcohol. Yeah. Oh, it's like a plane. Yes. Except you can stay.

Wager. With stakes. But you put your credit card in and it's like it auto buys if you lose. You play some weird version of hungry hungry hippos for example

and then if you lose you like they get a bottle of alcohol and it just goes on your tab on that. Wow. I like that. They should do that on planes. They should do it on planes. Imagine you win a business class seat

from a guy. I wager business. Losing gets ejected. Yeah. And then you have to swap. Yeah. You have to swap midfly. I love that.

And just the attendant's like, sir, you have to get up. You wagered it. This is fucking bullshit. There's fucking lag on the monitor. You wazard it, sir. I'm, I went, I get your bitch, too. You get your bitch and the breakfast that you ordered.

Can I gamble my, my, my wife? I'd like to say, I'd like to gamble my bitch breakfast. She doesn't need it. She doesn't, I don't have anything left. Dude, you bitched Tyler one, bro. Can I, can I? Can we say it? Can we say that you got him?

Got bitch, a little bit. And you know what? Can you lay a trap? And they said, Tyler one, what do you have to say to pass in the mic? And he went, but, but, oh my God,

he started. Oh my God, he started. I don't know. But diabetes, bad, bad, bad,

bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, matchup for it. No, it's not. No,

it's not. They were calling him Tyler Zero. Oh, I would call him James Chen. Can I get to say something deeply,

deeply personal? Please. Oh, of course. I don't feel good about it. Oh, come on. I don't feel good about it.

Here we go. I sensed it in you. I don't want to wear the chain. Oh, Even though I am the champion, I don't feel good. I kind of realized when I was up on that stage, I felt like one of the Christian monasteries traveling to Japan to spread Christianity.

And then I realized maybe I'm the villain. You're the bad guy. I'm the bad guy. What? What? I think I'm the bad guy. I'll say it. No.

Why do you think that? Because I think... I like Tyler. He's a good guy. And I did him dirty. And you ended his career. You didn't do him dirty. You didn't, okay.

Here's, I tend to read him on stage at Evo. He couldn't adapt in fucking 13 games. Here's why he didn't do him dirty. Safe jump. He just didn't know what that was. I agree with you. He just didn't know.

Tyler won. You don't know what a safe jump is. I agree with you, but I think the JP was too far. Maybe. I think the JP is too far. It was beautiful. It was beautiful.

It was like, it was like, there was a collective, it was like we made the FGC believe David Ghetto was a Roblox YouTuber. Yeah. That's what I was like.

It was beautiful. I think I can do it without the fake leaked JP. I think that was a step too far. I don't think it would have made a difference. I don't think it would have made a difference. And that's why it was a step too far as well. I think in,

because I think what happened is he spent 20 hours grinding JP and I, look, okay, Tyler likes to say that I had a coach and I had someone hired to watch all of his vods. I was the guy who watched all of his vods. Yeah, we just watched Tyler is very entertaining. We just watched him in the office all the time. Tyler was on the TV in the office

like it was the World Cup. I feel like the damn Portuguese who came to America. Really? And we're there to pillage. You're the white Spanish. Yes. And the white Spanish are there to pillage. And we're pillaging. And then at a certain point, I'm looking at Pocahontas. And I'm thinking, what happened to pillage? I'm thinking she's, she's beautiful. She's beautiful. She's beautiful, man. something wrong. Why am I doing this time? Tyler Juan is your Pocahontas. She's beautiful.

And you're a white Spanish. And now you have to marry her. As I'm pillaging her. The motherfuckerhontas. I'll say, Yo! Yeah. No.

No. No. I think this is, I think, I think, I think I'm the bad guy. Billy Irish vibes. We were talking about it. I think you're a little bit of the bad guy, but it's like, real fighting game players, you save this year for nationals. Daigo did this.

everyone does this. Again, it's the J-Pate. That was too far. You think so? Yeah, I think that was too far. What would Sun Tzu say? You spoke to him. And I literally thought about this.

I literally thought about the. Sun Tzu would say, who gives a fuck? You fucking won the war, and you won it fast, and that's what I care about. Sun Tzu would say your wife and children are safe now. But I don't think Sun Tzu ever considers if he's the good guy after winning the war. Oh. war is complicated and messy and horrible, but sometimes you have to win it

unless you get bitched on stage. Sun Tzu cares about... Unless you get bitched. Sun Tzu cares about how you win the war. Not really. Yeah, that's like his main thing. It's like how you win the war? Excuse me, sorry.

How to win a war. Yeah. Sun Tzu is a zeros and ones guy. The war was won. It's the one. Yes. And that's what we're going for. He's the aiding of this.

Didn't you complete a beautiful, beautiful art? tapestry of wasting the man who blocks and one and duns and plays modern. Yes. He, his animalistic play style

where he, he blocks in the corner like a dog and you, and you walked him. Yeah. Yeah. What I did is I held him up like a dog by the scruff and I said now everyone gets to laugh at him. But then when I

fucking put that dog down, I go, I fucking like that dog. And I don't think dog deserves that. The dog got paid. Yeah, man. The dog. I don't care. The dog also got paid. The dog got paid. I don't care at all. Well, yeah, but it was like, yeah, we put down the dog at the vet. We don't pay the pit bull. It was a very humble sum from the Saudis just to be here. Like, everyone's talking about getting paid this. That's the cringiest part about all of this. You got paid. Came with a handwritten note from MBS. They only paid me like 750K. It wasn't, it was a paltry sum. It barely last. Mr. Argan.

would so, if you would so overlook our murder of Jamal Khashoggi, and come participate. When we turn it into a lunchable, if you will. And consider it, they put it in a briefcase, Nick. Consider it overcomparments. And one is an Oreo.

Consider it overlooked, but for this poultry sum, that's it? For seven, what do I do with this? Oh, it's 750,000? I gamble most of that. Let me ask you a question. Oh my God. If it was a 10-9, would you feel the way you feel?

probably not right so the fact that you fucking bitched him generationally I think I would still feel this way because I actually don't think it's about the reason because I still think I would have crushed 10 4 105 had I not leaked the JP I don't think it would have changed the outcome I probably still would have won even 103

I think what it would it would have would have changed is that Tyler would have spent less time grinding against JP and I think I wasted his time which I feel bad about it I think I understand that. Because he's got kids.

I think I see where you're coming from. He was grinding two streams a day. Are we pulling that he's got kids cards? He definitely go bad. Can I not feel bad? This is you. I murdered a father. Who cares?

Because he definitely would have been tossing the fucking football with his daughter if he didn't have to grind JP that day. Really? He definitely wouldn't be fucking streaming video games. He wouldn't have been up against the top lane wanting to kill himself, just like everybody else. I'm saying I think the result would have been the same, but it would have wasted less of his time.

I think... My plan worked too well. I think you're saying this because you have this weird compassion in your heart. But dude, here's why I know you didn't play enough street fighter because what Tyler stands for needs to be defeated. When he stands for on the Summoner's Rift.

I disagree with that. And I said this on stage. Like, I basically stand as a beacon having defeated Tyler. And now I feel like I have a bunch of fucking neo-Nazi's coming around me. And I'm like, I'm like, I don't want these people. I got my tiki torch next to you. Yes.

You're like I, you're a Charlottesville resident. Yes. That's my guy. Yeah. No, I'll vote for Ludwig. I'll vote for Ludwig.

And I'm looking around like, I don't want these people. That's not what I stand. Love it does what it takes. I don't like that. I'm the neo-nazian. You're the neo-nazian. Modern guile doesn't have to burn his down charge.

I don't want to hear shit. I don't want to hear shit. If he wants to flash kick. That's all he has to do. It doesn't burn down. Tortus and the hair. Classic situation, man. He plays like he's watching TikTok's

You methodical strategy Classic if you will The thing is the modern sloppy I just want one thing and it's disgusting They get on the mic in between rounds You hear the TikTok Wow modern player

Oh my god Modern player on Valorant any game really That's what it's like You punished him for what he is No but I punished him Timewise with the JP I still I will never not feel bad Fine

I felt no joy after you saw it. That's between you and Jesus Christ, but... You saw it after the lack of light in my eyes. I could tell. I could tell. I didn't feel that amazing to you. I saw it and I didn't want to ruin your moment. I literally felt like a fucking general who brought a gun to a sword fight,

shot somebody in the face. And then, and you don't, you're not like, fuck yeah! And you know who's fucking cool in that scene? Indiana Jones. It's a timeless scene. There's an aspect of this. Me and Nick were talking about. It's like, it's, it's kind of made all.

better by the fact that you were so counted out for so long by so many people it's like if you if people were like yeah ludwig and and teller just grinding and grinding and grinding but it's like everyone thought you were just like jacking off yeah i think and that kind of makes it come on it's like oh really you thought bitch i agree with all parts of the plan because i i i agreed to it when i was plat three he was high master and i had about six weeks to grind which is not a lot no not and i and so i definitely needed a leg up, but I only think the part of the plan, the deception, and I think I got two in the content brain of the fake JP was too far. That's where I put the line. It's not like Sun Tzu wins the war. And then he goes, ha ha, whippee, I won the warrior blood. It's everywhere. I love that.

He's like, you know, he's like, I'm sorry that my greater understanding had to lead to this. He looks over at the corpses. And he said, this is war is horrible, but I did what I must. And that's what you should say. Except in this, in this analogy, the other team of the war gets paid and lives. Yeah, they also get to get paid. But also in this analogy, I didn't need to win.

What are you talking about? I still get paid if I lose. This is so crazy. They got to you, bro. Maybe they all got to you and you read too much Reddit and your mind got poisoned. You beat the game.

The mistake of the whole show match in my opinion was that you had another day in Vegas because you had time to be online. If you came home, you wouldn't even have read Twitter. It's actually nothing to do with anyone online. It's only when I saw Tyler in person and I remembered how much I like him offline. When the camera's off, bro.

And you were like, hey, Tyler, you want to come hang out with us? And he's like, no. I'm going to go stream in my hotel room now. Yeah. He looked at us. He's like, oh, you got your little entourage. The first time I've ever spoken to him? Yeah, we were like, yay, yay.

Come on to me. My voice has gone. Sorry, I yelled for my boy. No, I think I had painted a villain. And then when I finally crossed the Atlantic and I saw his beautiful Pocahontontont face? I realized that maybe this was wrong.

Pocahontas would know what a safe jump is and how to deal with that. You know what you do? You just stand up and block. You definitely wouldn't know. The streets are saying you just block. You just stand up and you block. I watched a video and the guy, I was like, oh, what do you do against this? He's like, you block.

But you block standing. You block standing. That's different. That's different. But, well, all jumps, if you crouch, you do get hit anyway. That's part of the game. part of the game. There's so many pieces that are part of the game that you didn't know. You're like the Redditors who don't like his play style. I like his play style. That's bullshit too because I watch more Tyler 1 than all those haters. And I didn't do it for you.

We had this exact conversation like maybe a week ago where I was saying the way Tyler plays is beautiful and you were arguing that it's like an abomination. I've said both things. It is a beautiful abomination. He mocked the system. I don't respect the street fighter rank system. It's exactly. It's entertaining in the same. Like from my outside view, it's the same value as when he grinded chess. It's like, this is an obscene way to play the game. And it was beautiful. But he managed to do it. Yes.

Do you know what I mean? It's brute force. Yeah. It's brute force. And I think that's what I think the beautiful thing is like, you know, what did he do after the show match? He went to his hotel room and grind more ranked. But the thing is, did he go?

Dude, Tyler would queue up ranked and only do it from the main menu. You can do it from training mode. Yeah. You can press buttons as you wait. He owes it from the menu. Another thing, knuckle do, which is on Shopify Rebellion, makes you think. Dude, okay, I'm going to leave this. Because there was the training that he had planned to do with knuckledu.

And at one point, someone from Shopify was like, hey, knuckledu's planning to train with Tyler. Do we need to block this? That's so crazy, bro. It's totally fine. It'd be weirder to block it. It'd be weirder to be like, no. That man with agency can't do that. No.

Yeah. Well, Nuckledu would get into the training room with him, teach him things, teach him how to do more than like a level one auto compil. And he didn't do them. Ludwig. He had opportunities. Knuckledo is a horrible coach. He is, but that's not as fault. He's 45. It's just like sometimes really, really good players are bad coaches. You know who said this? Magnus Carlson. A lot of good players. Magnus Carlson is like, yeah, I'm not a great coach. Because I don't think they're as good as explaining ideas. But he was especially a bad coach because he uses like a blue Yeti and he has hardwood floor. And you can hear his dogs. They scamper around. It literally sounds like,

somebody is like playing on a red switch keyboard with long nails. I don't know who there's a nail nails. I don't know his qualifications or anything, but I can tell he's a bad coach because Tyler went into class and then came out of class the same player.

What would happen? What would have been? What was an amazing player? Bad coach. Coach would literally say do this and then tell him like, I don't have that button because there's different buttons

for classic and modern and he'd be like, ah, okay. He should know that as a coach. And then he wouldn't know how to explain how to press the buttons because he's using leverize. That's awesome. That's really cool.

It was a tough coaching session. You know, and I think Tyler's also like, yeah, I got this. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that in a way I've been humiliated by knuckledo. I can just go back to ranked and where my comfort zone is. But I don't know. There's a filter on it. He encountered the filter.

The filter is also a Marissa that knows a matchup is what it is. And then, dude, the Twitter discourse after, I don't really care to talk about it, but I will talk about one thing. Dude, for a long time, we are melee players, right? That's where we come from. that's who we are. We would go to Evo. We kind of get black sheeped a little bit.

It wasn't like crazy. It was just like, yeah, people would walk by and the street fighter players would be like, ah, the pussies are here. But also our side of the venue was hype. And it was very hype, and we had a good time. And it was all in good fun, I think. But, dude, one little comment

of some little banter from Ludwig Anders Gaming and the whole Twitter gets set on fire. Dude, the FGC, you're just like smash, dude. You're the same. Dude, I think it's the most talked about thing leaving Evo, which is crazy because there was also like the tournament part of it. The tournament part of it. And more people were talking about that comment where I said FGC to our street

Friday didn't give you views than like Mena winning. Yeah. Or even like, or even a player who is unranked winning rivals without dropping a set. Unbelievable. Yeah. Has that ever happened? That's a generated.

Has it ever happened? An unranked player winning Evo? He's in dropped a seat. at any tournament he played it. Yeah, that was a crazy stat that Plups never lost a set ever in his rival's career since the games come out.

He's one of the greatest guys in the world. It is crazy. It is crazy. Yeah, he, I, I, these are Sonic Fox. Yeah. Dude, I watched Top A yesterday. A street fire?

Tucco's boring. Huh? I'm a Tucco hater. Tucco's boring, I don't like it. Is what it is. Tucco's like 18 seconds of unadulterated shield pressure and then eventually,

Eventually it breaks. And then the longest combo you've ever seen. Yeah, you could argue that Marvel was like that too. But the thing about Marvel is that like Magneto was in it. And I think that's just better. Yeah, I don't like watching the Timo drop mushrooms. Right. I don't know what it is.

Brian F did a whole like hour long video, Y2X scale kind of sucks. And he, the ultimate conclusion was like, it does not have it. And what it is is not felt. And you can just, it's just a vibe. I think it's just missing. I think it's missing like a better neutral. I don't know. Well, a lot of tag fighters are like that.

They're also missing set. They have a guy who uses his hands in the League of Legends and they didn't put him in the fucking game. He's a fighter. I don't understand. Don't get him in, what the fuck are you doing? Don't get a man.

Yeah, talk about Lysen. Talk about maybe a couple guys. Talk about maybe a couple guys. They'll get them all in. I'll say this. This is my big idea to make 2XK amazing. You treat it like Mugan.

You know what Mugan is? Yeah. It's Mugan. You spend, the dev team makes one week to make one character. You do that until all the characters are in the game. Doesn't matter how fucked up they are. now you would play that shit

yeah I'd try that shit I can load up and play Gwen alright fucking what's she do it's crazy it's Ronald McDonald it's golden Ronald McDonald versus Darkwing duck it'd be sick

I'm a I think that game is gonna get shuttered in a year and a half I don't think it's gonna make well yeah because Mark Merrill what what Mark do Mark Mark did interview

I think Mark did interview is like if it's not making a fucking Billy and kill yourself Mark did that Mark is a direct quote from Mark Merrill, I'm quoting him directly. He said, hey, and he, his whole team collected. He said, guys, your game don't make a billion. I'm going to

shoot you in the skull. I'm Mark Merrill. Yeah. Oh, wow. And your body's going to drop realistically, like in Red Dead. I'm in 2.XCO. Deves looked at each other, and they looked at the balance sheet, and they went, well, I can, I can ask. They went into a room that just has an apology man in it and no one else. Yeah, give Mark and ask, bro.

Yeah. He'll tell you. He'll be like, yeah, I did say that. Okay. I'm Mark Merrill said that bar for that. All right. But I think the, I think the team is great at least. Like the, like all their announcements were really hype for Evo weekend. Yeah, the Timo trailer still was like generationally great, but the game just doesn't have it. What can you do?

What can you do? And I love apology, man. I didn't see him actually. I should have smooched him on the mouth. Why is Arslen Ash just the goat? He's really good, man. Eight-time Techie Evo champion. He won again? He has eight evos now. It threw winners. He's an amazing player. It's just, he's just him.

That's so interesting. And you watch that documentary on the documentary from a couple years ago about the Pakistani Tekin scene. Yeah, it's from Koran. It's so good. I mean, he was good before he had, like, the real best practice, too. Yeah.

Yeah, they just got each other good. Yeah. They just, like, they said, you know, let's, let's be with each other in the big bed. The Charlie and Chocolate Factory bed. He reminds me a lot of, like, Spud's story, but he reached much greater heights than Spud did. But, like, how could you possibly be from, like,

a place so far away with so few, like, of the best players, and still, like, I think you're only as good as the people directly at, you're only a little better than the second best player but that wasn't true for Ars on Ash no like he was better than people he was nowhere near it's also his squadron got raised up too because like when Pakistan comes through for a tournament they're all killers like it's very cool

it's uh it's very rare too yeah it's kind of awesome although I think that game is ugly Tekkins? Yeah you're weird for that I think it's like a really fucking amazing art style it's so crazy you feel that way I think it's maybe just because I'm having trouble differentiating like moves and

animations. Tekken is a game from Street Fighter. If you're 25 years like if you've been playing for 25 years and you're 40 years old then that's your best game in the world. Because law, Marshall Law does the same shit he's done since you were 10 years old. Which is kind of important. What makes you a Tekken

player versus Street Fighter player? Techin, like I said, Marshall Law, he does the junkyard and legend kick and this is all shit you just know. But It's like old cartoons. Ryu does DP's, but DP changes in a lot of ways. Like, in some games, it's like, it's an invincible reversal.

Some games, it's just an tier. Some games, it's a combo tool. Like, it's, it's just different. And Tekken has, like, the move list for one guy. It's like 80 to 140 moves. There's more moves. There's strings. There's animations.

There's, like, it's different. And that has to be retained. Even the way that people, Korean Backdash and walk back, is still retain. It kind of looks janky. But they kept it in it, even to this day, because, like, you know, you've been playing it since you were 10 years old.

I kind of want to get into Tekken because I think I'd be really good at it. I don't think you would. I think Street Fighter takes some practice. Tekken's like a, like, you have to study for real. This is my favorite Ludwig take. God, that game looks like shit. I don't understand it.

I know if I played it, I'd be the best. I think I'd be the best. Go on, go on, go on. And this week, I'm like, I don't think I can step to him. Zipperckew. Zippercu, look up Naruto, Clash of Ninja. Is this a GameCube game?

This is a GameCube game that came out. that I think uses a very similar like fighting engine to Tekken, yes. Really? Flash of Ninja. No, it's much more like DBZ, right? No, no, no, no, no, no.

If it's 2.5D. It's a 3D fighter, right? It's like Budakai, right? I played this game. Yeah, dude, I took a dump in Josh's mouth in this game. Me and Christian have probably played this game for like 100 hours. Oh, no, I didn't play you?

Is this 2.5D or is it 2D? Is there a third axis? Yes, there's a third axis. Yes, you can press R and L to go other axes. So this is more like Tekken, right? Yeah, it's more like Tekken. I played the shit out of this game, and I was NASB broke. I used to run Christian's shit.

He gets so washed, you would switch to Akimaru, which is the dog in Naruto. You can play the dog. And it's so broken. His hip box is like literally a dog size when his hurt box covers the whole body. It's a pain because you can only hit him with the

lows. Dude, if you think Street Fighter Rang makes you mad, I can't wait to you get on Tekin, bro. It is truly evil shit going on in that game on ranked. Oh, it's so nasty. Yeah, I can admit it now because I mean, obviously we lied when we talked about Street Fighter saying that I barely played or whatever. That game ruined some of my nights. Yeah, it makes you mad. Is what it is. The rank system, specifically with Masters, is like one of the worst things ever invented. No, it's a great system. It charts you accurately enough. And it also has a natural filter where players that maybe hit 1600.

and play modern guy, like can't really get past that, right? That's kind of important. I think what it does is it makes people try new characters to try to bring them to Master and then stop playing that character. People do it all the time.

People do it in every fighting game. But they wouldn't do it if Master was more gradual like other ranks. This has been talked about, it's a whole thing, but it's like people will get a rank and stop playing forever.

This happens to ever again. Like, yeah, you hit a mortal and you stop. But like, it's easier to consider continuing when there's like a mortal one, two, three as opposed to you land in a mortal three, you have to drop back to a mortal one and then get back, because that's what happens.

They just need to call it something else. If they just, when you rank up past Diamond, instead of saying master and calling you a master, guy that like works 40 hours a week and is like a thousand hours in the game, is like, I'm a master? Like, no, you're bad. It should just say the real game now.

Or what about master? Just master 1300. Man. The word master. is the problem. I think it's the 1300 Because in every other video game ever of all time Master means you are a Master actually Like in League of Legends and chess

Like in all these other games Masters like yeah You've played over like 5,000 hours of this thing and you're like really really good at it You know the context of like the points right No not at all once you hit Master Rank it turns a new EO system that's it and the EO it initially puts you at is 1500 And it's almost like when you start a chess account And you start at 1200 EO

You gotta lose a little bit And you got to lose a little bit But this happens after having gone through you know silver, gold, platinum diamond. And so you hit Master, you hit 1500, and you have an initial drop. And it varies per person, but it's anywhere from like 100 to like if you're really bad,

300 points that you'll drop. You have to recline to get back to this 1500. Yeah. And I think that process of going down feels really bad because you basically just get your ass beat for like... If it feels so bad, people will stop playing. Who cares? That's what happens.

Yeah, but who cares? Because enough people play, so you still have opponents, so it doesn't really matter. And the people that want to play, keep playing. I think it's dumb. And for those people that also don't want to keep playing, Modern's right around the corner, brother.

Come on now. How exactly does modern work versus classic? Modern gives you less access to tools in exchange for no motion controls, which is like quarter circle inputs or whatever, and like single button supers. And they also nerf your damage on supers. It starts at 80% scaling rather than...

Wow, you have different actual mechanics. Like, you do less damage in certain areas. Yes. And you have auto combos. So if you land a hit, you keep hitting the modern button and it'll do a combo. That's why Tyler always did that one

with the big Sonic Blade for like 10 damage. Oh my God. And that's why he'll often combo into level one because it's also automatic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I assumed incorrectly

that it was just a layout that, yeah, made some things simpler that are normally difficult, but that's it. You lose access to certain because like you still have to use the same amount of buttons

as everybody else. So you lose a couple buttons. And some, Some of normal as you lose are really bad for certain characters and some of it doesn't remember. Giles is really bad. Modern,

yeah, because he doesn't have a single overhead on modern. Oh, that's right. Tyler goes through a process of like playing different characters and land on Gile.

He played Ken. He started Ken and switched to Gile because I think he liked the reactionary style. I think he also liked how he looks. I think we gravitate toward what we, I think physically,

like aesthetically. That's why fighting games are cool because it's all numbers, but they're just dressed up in like what Camie White looks like. I've always that with fighting games, your character is either you escaping from who you are in your real life or are you trying to say you are a mirror of who you play in the game.

Yeah. I play Falco because I want to be cool and Falco's cool. And that's my connection to that character. But some people are like ice climbers players. And in real life, they're so kind and nice and they're doing the meanest possible thing in the game and the nerdiest possible thing in the game. What is that? What is it mean?

It's like I've always said like the ice climber wobbler is someone who has no control in their life. I think. And this is where they take it. I think it's different now versus 10 years ago. Wobble? The person who plays ice climbers now is actually a different person who chose to wobble.

Yes. No wobble. Yeah, yeah, for sure. There's a different neural pathway being accessed when you click on the guys because you can't wobble. I think the most the normie coded version of this

is who do you play in Mario Kart? Like that's something you can ask on like any first date and then you can talk about how like that's a fun conversation. It's like, oh, you pick Yoshi. What does that mean? What does that say about you?

I think Yoshi is, like the favorite, right? Yoshi's, I think the favorite. Yeah. Well, people who pick Yoshi are... They're gentle. They're gentle. They're gentle. I don't think it's as gentle as it is.

I think Yoshi players are Falco players. I think it's like, I think this is the coolest. Yeah, yeah. I think this is the coolest guy. He's not cool. He doesn't speak English. He's green and he's a fucking animal. I think it's more like...

Of course he's cool. I think it's more like Fox. It's like the most popular character. No, Mario. Guys, Mario is the most popular character. Not most people don't pick Mario car. He's on the title. He's on the box.

And if somebody picks Mario, you're like, oh, that's nice. You're not into anything. If you play Mario in Mario Kart, it's just like, yeah, it's the first one. I clicked the first one.

The thing is, though, in Street Fighter, everyone loves Ryu. I think if you press A and nothing else over and over again when Mario Kart starts, you start a race as Mario. I actually think that that happens.

I think you start a 50cc race as Mario. Dude. In the standard cart. Yeah, in the on Toadstool. You know what I mean? Like, if you all the Mario stuff happens. I was watching Street. Fighter Top A yesterday and Sikuro was over because she's doing a stream with QD and she was like we were eating lasagna watching Street Fighter and I was like explaining some of the street fighter to Connor.

You're trying to explain Blanca. You. Ludwig Ogren. Yeah, I'm explaining Blanca. 120 Marissa trying to explain Blanca. 1300 but close. And Sakura's like, oh, I don't know any character in this game and Riu's on screen. I'm like, that's Riu. You don't Riu. She didn't know. I don't know Riu. Oh, although I do know the girl. And then cuties, that's also the only one she knew, she knew Chun Li. Which surprised me. That's the Ryu of girls. Yeah, it is, yeah. But I think it might just be the Mario of the whole game.

Chun Li or really? It's possible more people know Chun Li than Ryu. There is a Nikki Minaj song about her. And people also do Chunli cosplay. And I think those get more attention than Ryu cosplay. There might be something to this. I think the real Mario of Street Fighter 6 is actually Chun Lee, not. Yeah, but they never put her on the box.

they don't put her on the box but I don't think the box is... Well, Luke's on the box now but I'm saying the box is symbolic and it's a decision I think the box

is less known than the game or the... What I'm saying is when you look at it on the seam store Luke and his big fucked up

stupid face is on there I do hate that and everyone's like why Luke? Why Luke? Oh, what are you doing? I saw there's this diamond level

blind Luke player Yeah, I've heard of that dude he's blind He's blind and he plays he plays like people that would

like he would probably beat me because all he does is jump in and I can't anti-air nice because he doesn't know what the opponent's doing so he just jumps in drops like a heavy aerial

is there like a setting for blind players that'll say what's happening no there's sound in the game there's sound yeah it sounds pretty good he knows if he's getting hit yeah you know when you hit somebody

you know if you block the sound is actually really it's designed to help you confirm things so I can see it happening and Luke has like a hit scan fireball he just goes but he's diamond that's crazy

nah people are bad I know it's crazy he's blind it's crazy he's crazy I'll tell you this he couldn't be a blind teckin player

yeah that would be harder I think that one's harder yeah yeah why are you you don't have to like take a shot at the blind guy dude I'm not gonna like we're like

we're like damn he's diamond you're like thunders out of hard no I'm saying the people he are he is fighting are susceptible to being beaten by a blind guy well yeah they lost to the

blind guy. Yeah, that's inherent in losing to the blind guy. There should be one blind guy in every sport now that I think about. There should be a blind guy on like Love Island. Uh, you know, I think you're bad. The Brazilian, I'm pretty sure. The Brazilian blind soccer team is like best in the world and has been for like a decade. That's sick, bro. Oh, I against other blind teams. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. You took it as like the blind team beats the regular team. I find it more as like a Globetrotters thing where they just get on the field of fast. It around and shit. If you look at Brazilian blind

talking team on YouTube. Yeah, they win every tournament. I don't really know how it works. Is it other blind like national teams? Is there a blind French team? Yes. Oh. Yeah. But if I can not see my sister are.

I don't want to do is fact, but I cannot see it. I can just feel you are my sister. I know it's from your form. You touch your breast. I think it's my sister. I love you so much. That's Italian. There's a little Italian.

It's not even really French anymore. Oh, yeah. Oh, there it is. Wow. Yeah. What do you know they're blind? Yeah, why are they wearing big visors? Wait, are they actually blind or they play blind?

I think they're actually blind. Well, why are they wearing fucking awesome visors on their head? Because blind isn't like... It's spectrum? I don't know, yeah. And also maybe... Yeah, I guess you could be like legally blind, right, and still have vision. Although there are a couple of people without them, which is also...

Right. Dude, this looks so hard. Is there like a, is it like bomb site A and B have different beeps? Like, what do you think that means? Like the ball beeps different? No, the goal beeps different. The ball should beep. The goalie has eyes?

Yeah, the both goalies do have eyes, I'm noticing. What's that? I don't know. That's bullshit. That seems like, am I crazy? And what's funny about Paralympic sports is people who are able-bodied get really upset about how they're run. I've noticed. This is where- No, I don't.

It's cool that in the Paralympic games though There's a full section for blind soccer Because you would assume there's also like Wheelchair soccer Yeah Yeah there's different levels I'm like that

The national sport You play it any way you like Motherfucker Motherfucker Don't me some blind baseball Guys Nick's gone Something happened He called me

It's bad Wait what happened He's been using And I know He says he's been using A Helic sleep Oh my God I heard about this

Yeah, but he fell through his mattress. He fell through his mattress. He's been using so many Helix sleep codes, but he's been using them to give them to other people. So he's actually been sleeping on some bullshit. Yep. He fell through his mattress, hit the ground so hard, he's in a coma. Now his ass has an extra lump.

And his ass has, he has three asses. He has three hunts to call him camel ass at the hospital. We need to do something nice for him. We need to get him a Helix sleep mattress. So when he's out of the hospital and he wakes up, he can sleep normally. Because he's too generous. he just keeps giving the ones that he buys a way to friends and friends and give him one.

He genuinely, this is not a joke, he used all the codes to give them to other people. I will say, we don't have them. Here's the deal. I took the sleep quiz for him. Really? Yeah, and like the sleep quiz, if you guys don't know, with He looks sleep, allows you to find a mattress that fits you. And I found a three-ass bed just for him. Thank God.

It's the Midnight Lux three-ass edition. Oh, my, this is so good. And it's crazy they had it available. Yeah, it feels like in these situations. What feels almost crazier is that the shipping was free. Free? Wow. Yeah. Free.

And he gets 100. Because I've been telling my girlfriend that if we bought a mattress online, it would be fucking expensive. Yeah, like you'd think if you got a mattress online, it'd be thousands of shipping and have bugs in it. Yes. And so we've been sleeping on the floor like I like. Here's the deal.

You're an idiot because you could just go to helixleep.com slash the yard. Get 20% off site wide. Get free shipping. Freaking have sleep zones for you. So this is going to be. Helixleaksleep.com slash the yard? When he wakes up, we're going to have a brand new fresh three-assed mattress for him. Yes.

And he might, I mean, guys, he might get a moat. He might cry. I'm going to grab the new cheek. Okay. Just to see what it feels like. Helixleaf.com slash the yard for 20% off site wide. That's helixleaksleep.com slash the yard for 20% off site wide. Heelixleep.com slash the yard.

And guys, that's only if he wakes up. Let's get back to the episode. I hope he wakes up. Did you continue gambling in Vegas? I lost everything. But after the faded day. I lost everything. Did you continue?

I lost everything, Nick. Wait. I know, but I'm asking you, did you go back for more? Can I get a- How did I lose everything? Hello, as the guy who didn't go. Can I get a bad man check in? Where do people end?

Here's the deal. I had a vision coming to Evo of all of us after I won, going to a craps table, rolling the dice for hours, drinks flying in good times being had. Right. I won.

Check. We get to an empty craps table. Check. Yeah. we start rolling things start decent and then we have like four back to back to back to back

instant crap outs you know who molested the money for real I know it Nick Yingling no he mowed the mun you can't Cam also did Christian also did

Christian also did Christian through the dice out of the whole they were fresh off that trip and they mowed the mun I literally walk around I give everybody 50 bucks I'm like guys let's have a good fucking night And in one role, everyone lost the $50 I gave. Yeah, the vibe died quickly. And once Shake went to the ATM, I was like, oh, it's curtains.

No, he met a Czech guy at the ATM. He was really important. And then I think they went to a concert together. He did make friends with the check guy, but like it ruined the vibes for everyone else. Like, yeah, he had a good time. Yeah, I walked. I was watching my stack just go away. The stack disappeared.

It was horrible. The only one who made money at that table was slime because he played like a genuine idiot. I don't know how to play craps. I just put the money in and then it comes back. come back you just make it. I don't know. What can you do? Oops. Yeah, me don't know. It was like blackjack a bunch. It was really fun. We went up and down.

It was, I will say, I thought we saw there was a microphone at that table because it was a podcast. I think it was the funniest we ever did. I joined the, I joined the table very late. I immediately recognized once I sat down. The table has been a vibe. The table is a podcast. But who is it? Is it you too? Yeah, it's just us to the dealer. The dealer was cool. But anyway, we go up and down and then I lose all my money. I lost all my money. And then Ludwig borrowed money and then made money. and then he was down to his last like 5K.

But we go to the high roller room. And he's like, I'm going to do it. I'm going to put it down on this bitch. And I said, okay, oh yeah, I had a little bit left. And I was like, I'll go with you. Put all of it. I had like two grand or something. I had 10K I put down on one hand of blackjack.

Yeah. I won. You lost. I was sitting at 20K. I have to pick Nick back 2100. So he was like, oh, technically I'm not even. And so then I said technically I'm not even. So I put another 5 in.

10K blackjack hand. That's what it was. Okay. So I put another 5 in to try to get back to even. and then it pushed and then and then you said which I would have done anyway you know what we do in this house when it pushes I didn't I I know you know what I did bro I was like I put my hand I put my hands up this was said no I said I said it very jokingly I was like I was like you know we do now yeah we've been doing this shit all night and losing money so when that happened I put my hands up and I said I'm not going to say anything to influence what you do either way and I and and this is the moment and and this is the moment and and and this is the moment I and there's always a moment you can point out where I should have walked. Oh, yeah.

But instead, I said, okay, yeah, in this house we double and I put 10K and then I lost it again. But what was the funny part, the only thing I think is remarkable about all of this is you get this like shit hand and it was like a 15 facing a 10 or something or 16.

And then you look over and all the squad is here watching and at the high roller room. Shake actually yelled. I said, shut the fuck up, it's high roller. They'll kill you here. And so, and then he starts speaking check and I was like, okay, well, no. And so,

But you look over at the whole squadron because you're looking at a 16 and it's disgusting. And you look and you say, Bader, Christian, do I hit or stay? And he's as drunk as ever seen him in my life. And he's like barely standing up. He's like, I love hitting. He answered so confident. He does not give a fuck what happened. I was Ludwig, without any hesitation, he taps the table and, uh...

It was a good call. Put it to end up working out. You got a hit. You got a hit. Oh man You go over? I went No no I didn't go over

He just had 20 Yeah he just be you Yeah But that I was Yeah I'm done gambling For a while So that's a good hit I'm done gambling for a while

You know I know your guys This table was electric Because I sat down I was only there for maybe 10 minutes Before there was a dealer switch And when the dealer left He goes all right guys

You know this is your new dealer I'll be back in 20 minutes Okay Like he wanted back I gave that like $400 Yeah he wanted back badly I just kept tipping

I kept winning and I get the green ship and I say for you. For you. And then he called me a pussy when I didn't hit on some card. That was fire. But it was money because it was like he's right. And he didn't go it. He went pussy. Yeah, he got the vibe.

Yeah, man. Vegas is a hellhole. I don't even fucking feel good. I lost all my fucking money and all I have to show is a fucking leather jacket that looks awesome and is really expensive. And you don't even like that you tricked. I like that in Vegas. I bought that in Vegas.

I bought that in Vegas. I used to all. Why did you want? Why did you spend the money? Why did you want a jacket? It was part of the video. It was like, oh, I'm going to get an outfit. Oh, okay.

And you went to YSL. I went to YSL because they had a YSL there. I was like, I'll get a little soup jacket. And then I realized it didn't go with my pants, so I got a leather jacket. Yeah, I only gave it once a year. It's been good for my life. You know who I saw is Connor Kelly at,

who always works, the main Tiobu, and Jade. Love Connor. And I saw them and they were like, for one, Jade came up to me, and they were like, I love the song. Kelby's verse is amazing. And I was like, thank you. Connor,

Connor was like I just said hi And then I still had my green I had two green chips From when I got absolutely Shit on at Blackjack And I have these It's $50

And I'm like, cool Just $50, I guess It's a $50 fucking I lost $10 grand And I was like And I was like All right Connor here He's like

I never gambled before Should I gamble? And I was like No But take this And take this And you'll put it on green On roulette

That's all I want you to do He's like okay and then the next day Connor messaged me and was like I put it on green and he didn't win but is it bad

that I want to go get more money and try again I'm like that's bad I said you know what it means is you're normal

but I'm here to tell you you're not gonna get it back you're not gonna get it you got free rolled and I basically scolded him for a while and then he was like

you should eat this croissant that I found and it was this giant croissant that looks like a bow tie to shout out Connor Kelly so down down

I spent my entire trip with Jake Trasel. Yeah. We were thick as thieves. Okay. And he was drunk most of the time playing video poker at every bar that he could play video poker at. He loves it. He loves putting money in the video poker. He loves the buttons. Ludwig also loves it, but they were all, Christian and Jake were saying that Ludwig plays like a troglodyte.

Like the way he, he plays as fast as possible, max betting the entire time. Well, it's because I've practiced a lot of video poker. Like, I used to play on the airplane. Ah. There's a airplane casino game and you can get to the highest. level casino. It's like big mafia's casino game. And I've played video

poker. I'm not kidding you nine hours straight. And I beat the game. Damn. That's awesome. And it's not like beat the game. You beat the game. You beat the game by it's Big Al's. I think it's called Big, can you look at Big Alas Casino playing game? But you win when you get enough money

to buy out Big Al's Casino. Wow. So you go to like, you start at the $100 tier, then it's like $1,000, $10,000, $100,000 million. So you have to earn a million dollars. And then Big Al comes into the office and you're sitting there, he's scarface. You got like fucking strippers. There's no animation at the end.

And he comes in, he's crawling around his dicks out and shit. And you're like, it's mine now, Big Al, it's all mine. I did all this to see the image of me with my cock out and Big Al slurping it. And all you get is a text going, congrats. You beat Big Al's casino. Wait, you came up first. Oh, yeah, wait, click my video. What the fuck?

It's probably a short I made about. I just discovered the worst game. And I bet you've never heard. True, I don't think I haven't. Yeah, I made a video about it. Is there gameplay? Did you take any... You didn't take any video.

You didn't take any video. Just you talking. There's a video at the end. There's a video at the fucking end, bro. Just go to the end with the video. Nice. Wait, marvelous. You're now the biggest cheese in town, it said. Yes.

And I wanted a picture, but I earned a million dollars for real. So I think you have to be one of so few people who's done that. Who's beat Big Alex? It literally takes like nine hours. It's not an easy game. It's a grind. So anyway, I think I'm better at video poker than them. They just don't know my reps.

I like that. I see. You did lose all your money. You do. And you also, on Big Al's, you play for, you play for no money, so there's no stakes. But you have a trophy in the cabinet that they will never have. That's true. That's true. So I'm with shake most of the time.

My gambling limit, I would say, is lower than these two. Like, the most I'm willing to lose is like probably somewhere like, maybe $4,000 that the most I'm willing to lose before I to stop. And I lost $3,000 in the first hour that I got to Vegas. Yeah. That's like not a good start. No, it's like a terrible start.

I usually don't like gamble if I'm planning on that when you get there. Like usually I save it to the very end. I was there shorter than everyone else. I was going home a day early and I was like and I was just bored and I was another thing at the venue for me to do. So I was like, okay. Me and Shake, let's go. Let's go gamble.

And then Jake's like, yeah, do it's good game. I'm so down. We go to the Aria. We can do a blackjack table. And within like 20 minutes, he's like, I'm going to go bed on sports. He'll be back like later. And he leaves. He left you?

And he also made the most, inside of control of the most stupid sports bets known to man. Yeah. He bet on the, who's the team who benched all their players? I think it was like the French national team or something. He basically bet on a tie, but the World Cup team benched their starters. Oh, you're talking about Norway? Yes.

Yeah, yeah. He bet on a Norway tie, but they benched all their starters. He lost it wildly. Yeah. Against France. Yes, against France. It was Norway against France, but Norway benched the best player. Norway against one of the best team.

Yes. Norway against the favorite for the starters. World Cup. And they don't have their best. And they don't have their best. And he knew this and he bet on a tie. Wow. And he lost all of his money. Before Shake left me, there was a, uh, there was a woman saying next to us with her husband. She's pretty, she's pretty bad for her age. I'll give it to her. She's fucking with me and shake's vibe. She's loving us. She's, she's talking about like how awesome it is. We play at the table with us all this stuff. And I'm like, oh, what are you guys doing in Vegas? She's like, we're actually here to go to like a show. And I'm like, oh,

when's the show? Like, it's at seven. We actually got a leaf priest. I'm like, what are you saying? Like shin limb. Shin? And I was like, that is so cool. Shake leaves a table around here. And I'm like, that's amazing. And they think I'm fucking with them. They think I'm making fun of them.

And they're like, oh, you're making fun of us. I'm like, I'm not, this is, that's the coolest thing you could have said you're doing. I want to go. They invite me. They invite me to see shin limb. I embarrassingly had to turn down because I wanted to camp walk because I just got here. But that would have been the better story.

You never seen shin limb. I've never seen that. I came from Shin Lim and I told Nick, who likes magic? Embarrassingly. It's cool. And I said, you know what I was wrong? Magic is real. It's real.

And that means amazing. Even Shake loves magic. So later I told Shake about it. And he was like, he was like, dude, he's been doing this trick that like won the best trick award. And he keeps doing it. And it's the best trick I've ever seen. Can I tell you something insane about Shake?

It actually took him down a couple notches on my like humanity level. He looks up every single trick. It's disgusting. Every single trick. That is gross. That's like the one of magic. Yes, bro. on the wiki and says how's the trick work.

And I, you don't even need to see, show me the end of the trick. You already show me the beginning. I can still go. How do you put the $100 of a lemon? Let me do you finish trick. I have two things. I have two things.

One, I don't think I've ever done this with complicated magic tricks because I don't think I've ever felt driven enough to look. But I have always had the question of what, like there seems to be this like protection within magic of like don't look up how the trick is done. And suspend a disbelief. And suspend a disbelief. but isn't that that feels like the most interesting part about it

I'm talking about as a viewer is he doing it while watching or after it's over I think I don't know like shake like to be the guy that that looks up how the trick is done is to also be the guy that says I can prove that wasn't real magic which it's like we all know it's not real magic that's what I mean that's like implicit

well well Matuse himself can you speak it to my mic I have a question for you what's up So, okay, you... Share the mic, guys. You've been accused of looking up magic tricks that you've looked at. Is that true? Don't look at me.

Oh, yeah. No, absolutely. That's like my favorite thing. Do you look up the magic trick while watching it or after it's the shows? I try and solve it. It's like a puzzle, right? If I can't figure it out, I'd do my best to find it. And you have to go to like some crazy magician websites to find the shit.

They say, like, code words and everything. Cool. So will you like guess in your head like, oh my God, I think they have a secret box? and then you'll look and you'll be like, oh my God, I got it or right? You didn't get it. Oh, yeah, exactly. What's your success rate? Oh, it's really low.

Oh, yeah, yeah. They're crazy. Yeah, yeah. Like, Shin Lim, like, one of his, like, the, he won, like, the world magic. He has the best card trick in the world. He won the shirt before. And it's, like, there's, like, false steps. And each step is so sick.

And I got to see it in person in Vegas. It was so fucking dope. You bet on Norway versus France after they benched. That was a bad dollar. That was a bad thing. Bye. It should be shaped for that. I'm sorry.

Oh. Okay. man. Wait. You instantly brought up the shinlin trick. Here's my thing. That was insane. It's implicit that we all know magic is a real.

We all understand that. That's why I think there's like a great joy in like knowing how something like that works that doesn't ruin it at all. I think what shake just said is cool with me. It's fascinating. I get it. I get it. But it's like it's, I think as a viewer you go, you watch shin limb, you're like, that

shit was crazy. And then you just walk out. And you're like, I wonder how he did all that shit. And like I, I, as a viewer of magic and shin limb, the only guy I've ever seen new magic. I end it there. You're transforming something that is

like awe striking into being something impressive. And I think that it's needless because you could just sit there being like, that was amazing. I don't understand it. But then you turn it into something that's like, wow, now I understand it. I'm taking an educated crack at it out of like a genuine curiosity and then checking your work is fine

I think that's cool. I think it should work like like the Penn and Teller show where it's like you go is this what you did? And they go, no, and you go, wow. I think if he had access to Shinlimy would do that. Do you think it's really different than,

you know, when we, I like watching movies with Nick because when something really, really cool happens in like a shot, Nick usually has. You're talking about movie magic. I'm talking about movie magic. Nick usually has a really,

either the correct answer or a really good guess at how they did something in the movie that's very impressive. And that is like, that's super interesting. And sometimes, and I think just even learning that

is impressive in itself. I'd say in a way, do you feel like that's different? I say in a way I'm burdened with that knowledge because I can't watch the movie like the way a child watches a movie, which is just like, wow,

that was crazy, you know? I don't think it's a, But I get this question a lot when I like dissect humor, people like, well, that means jokes aren't funny to you because you're thinking about it. And the argument I usually make is that interpreting something in the moment and then dissecting it are two independent, isolated actions. And they don't interfere with each other for me. Maybe some people they do. That's how I feel. It's like I don't think me, if I were to do that after, I don't think it would ruin my ability to enjoy the show.

I think, but for magic, I like the idea that this, we've been doing this shit as huge. humans since like as long as we could to like fool other guys. But I think what that's kind of cool. I think Aiden and Shake are closer to magicians than you two. Don't say that to Nick. I just, I don't think so. I think the desire to see how it works is the desire a magician would have. I think it's, I think it's indulgent.

But I also don't, I just think there should be a bit of shame about it. It's like when to when shake told me, I look up all the tricks, I don't need to hear that. I don't know what you jack off too. I don't care. I know you jack off. I don't know you jack off. I actually think what you're getting at is a good point in my mind

because what annoys me is this like sanctity. I think from like a IP perspective of like my tricks are like special to me and complicated and this is my craft and I need to protect them so like other magicians don't just start copying my shit. I get that part of it. But there's this general

there's this general. There's this general vibe you get from magicians when they talk about this stuff that like me even thinking about how they did the trick is like gross that I've gotten and I always think that's stupid because one

you are a fucking magician so you had the exact same thought at some point and you fucking go do that no I don't think thinking about how the trick works is a bad thing I think that's normal I think caving to the desire to like just read the explanation takes away something

from what it is because you know what remember that lemon guy? I think it was two evos ago. Yeah. Yeah. And he put $100 inside of a lemon. Yeah, that was awesome. And it was crazy. And you know what? I ended up looking up the lemon trick. Yeah. And what I felt afterwards was a sense of deflation. Really? Yeah. And I was like, oh, that's how he did it. That guy did that to us and we were there for it. For me, I've never looked up the lemon trick. I've also seen David Blaine do the lemon trick in someone's house who he's never been to. And the whole time I'm just like, I don't know how it could possibly be in the level. I think every time somebody's giving me.

me the answer to one of these things? I'm like, wow, that's fucking awesome. I mean, I was like, oh, that's impressive. Like, it's just like like Nick said. I was like, oh, that's impressive. But in the moment, I was like a chimpanzee in, in a tree looking at a nuclear explosion. You don't lose being a chimpanzee. You're still a chimpanzee and you still saw that nuclear explosion. But what I, what I, what I determined for myself after watching that video is like, I don't really care to be interested. I don't really care to be impressed anymore. I'd like to be amazed. I think you two are like, I think I understand what you're saying, but you rather be in like the prehistoric time where you think like God's mad at you during the eclipse than to know how it works. Aiden, he is.

But that is a funny way to put it. He's upset. You see Haley's, you see Haley's comet and you want to get down your knees and fucking pray. Yeah. You don't want to learn that this is a comment that's going around. What I want to do. When Halebop comes around, I want to tie off my genitals and then kill myself with barbiturias. Like the heavens game and said to do.

And I like knowing with the eclipses and I just think it's cool. Well, maybe he's like Isaac Newton. I think there's like inherently a difference here to take your prompt seriously. Yeah, yeah. Because one is something that's somewhat necessary for like our continued understanding of the universe. And one is essentially a clown making you a balloon at a children's party. And you don't need to understand it. Yeah, there's a comfort in that fun.

But I, but I think you don't know the stakes, until you ask the questions. To me, I think like WWE is made worse the more you understand how they fake some of the stunts. Whereas like if you just watch it, it feels like they're hurting each other.

And that's crazy. You know what I was just fun about WW is sometimes they do it bad. And you're like, you didn't hit them at all, but you're like, ah, all good. Yeah, when they do a punch and they like, I just stomped their leg.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that feeling of all good is, I think, important. I don't know. I feel like wrestling fans can speak better to this. I feel like wrestling fans have a really intimate understanding of how it's fake, how it is faked, and they enjoy it more for that. They enjoy like the performance art of it, like it's a play.

I think they enjoy the lore and they treat the lore as if it's somewhat real. Of course they know it's fake. That's stupid. No, but I think they're more likely to understand the execution. They're more likely to watching it behind the scenes video that they'll drop. Raise your hand if you've actually been to wrestling. match. Okay. When they hit the fucking...

I'm gonna be honest, I've raised my hand. I haven't. I have. That's crazy. I have. I think I just like doing it. That's okay. Sometimes we just like to raise our hands. And also lying is cool. That's part of my shake story. I will get there. Wait, something about pro wrestling

because I went to and it was called at the time and probably still is called to this day midget wrestling. More appropriate term, probably little person wrestling. Anyway, my- part of my story too. Me and my friend in college

went in suits and it was very fun and it was a little sad because one of the guys kept begging the people in the front to staple $10 to his forehead. That's really happened. I gotta have that happen once.

And nobody wanted to do it. No, I don't want to do that. So it kind of looked like, it looked just like really sad. But when they, when you've come down on the specific wrestling like ring mat, it makes a crazy sound.

And that sound evokes like a from us. And that's why wrestling is cool especially in person. I think I can be the monkey and I can be Isaac Newton. I think you can be neither.

What's the rest of your Shake's story then? So me and Shake running around all together. Awesome. A hot older woman with her husband going to see Shindlin. You didn't become this woman's third. No, I was close to come and become this.

I even had to ask my girlfriend can I become their third? How'd the husband look? Would you have flowed bubbles on it? No, no, no, no. I made a tweet, actually. It was like, Vegas be like, here's the hottest woman we've ever seen. And her woman and her husband that looks like a Leffered Ed to Jockey.

It kind of started with these two. He didn't look that. He didn't like, just like a bald guy who was like 10 years old than her. Okay. It was fine. But she's out of his league, whatever. But that was every, everyone in Vegas. My dad.

That's your dad. That's me and my girlfriend besides. I disagree. I think your dad's kind of bad. No, he was a few tears below your dad. Your dad definitely's got it. I mean, your mom definitely is way. Oh, my gosh.

It's insane. I was texting your mom today. Fucking. beautiful. Your mom's awesome. Take her to shin limb. Huh? I was texting her today. We don't send words, me and your mom.

Yeah. Yeah. Don't try him. That's what I thought, bro. Thank God. We got to go back to the venue. We're pretty far back with the area. We get into an Uber.

And we got into an Uber with the guy that we were calling the driving gooner. This is what it was like. So the beginning of the Uber, the guy's got a fedora on. And you know some guys, they'll kind of like, they got a thing you can tell

they want to talk about but they're being a little coy about it. This guy wasn't coy. All we said was, he was like, hey, what's up guys? We're like,

hey, where you're from? California. He's like, oh, how you like in Las Vegas? I'm like, it's cool. I don't know if I could live here, though.

It's a little hot and Shakes like no income tax though. That was all it took was no income tax though. And this guy launched into a, yeah, well, they're trying to inject our kids and make them girls.

Oh, God. And I was, and me and Shake, like without even a heart beat Skip to go, mm-hmm. Yeah, I heard about that. Yeah, I heard about that. I heard about that happened to fucking someone I know. You know they're doing it to the sky now.

You know they're dropping it from the sky. And it's making us girls in the sky. This is like all he needed to start rapid firing, like all his craziest beliefs. He's like, they're putting Chinese poison in us. And I'm like, I think I have it in fucking me, bro. He was saying things like, he'd point at the fucking plants and he'd be like, those plants don't even belong here.

And I'm like, I don't even know what that means. But I agree. Of course. And shake goes, Hey man, like, what are like the, like,

oh, he, this guy points out like, like, this is the best place to get pizza. It looks like a dumpster. Like,

looks like the, like, does it, like, the bad place to get food. This is the best pizza in town. Sheks is like, what are the best strip clubs? This guy says,

verbatim. He says, if you want a place that has that holy hole, the type of hole, they'll put up on your nose so you can smell it. That's what he said. Yuck.

Then you got to go to, he starts rattling off. Oh, there's multiple places. Multiple holy sites. He must have had like eight strip clubs that he had ready to tell us. Does he afford it? I don't know because he's just

a d'oebra driver. But he starts saying where you can get the best holy hole. And he goes, reminding me from what you said, using a word that I'm quoting verbatim, he said, they even got midgets. Shake says,

oh, my friend here loves those. And I'm in lying mode, right? Shoot. So I'm like, little people love them to death. So you're saying they're at the strip club, sign me up. And yeah, we pull up, we finally get to the venue. And there was a lot more that this guy said, but it's all in the same vein. He's talking about how Trump's going to save the world.

He's talking, he was saying very, very, very inappropriate things about AOC. Me in the back of the car, like, I mean, like, if we were both, if we were both girls, maybe alone what do you think we would do with each other? When we were both when we both are girls um

that we were made from the sky we were slipping in failure he would say like a disgustingly sexual thing like aOC and we'd be like I'd even do it to Trump yeah and he can't hear those parts like he kind of talks right past those parts he's like hey yeah yeah yeah

yeah we finally pull up to the venue and um a Mexican man whose job at the it's important to the story whose job at the venue is to come and just open the door and be like, hello, welcome to Las Vegas Convention Center. Our driver rolls the window down and says, do you speak Japanese to which the guy

just kind of looks at him and goes, what? What are you asking? And we're like, bye, thanks for the ride. And we get out of the car. He points to us to the guy. And he goes, these guys love Trump. And we're like, ah, yeah. all right man

bye that's when lying goes wrong that's when punished you pay the price severely you pay the price

for your fun did you did you do the right thing after um what not tip him on the app no

what did you rate him I didn't rate him at all I just didn't tip on the app you still could I could I could go back now because I never

hit the button go back and give him his five they don't fucking right bro something suspiciously similar happened to me. I did it because

me, uh, you went to Dallas, Texas. Yeah, me and Alex Alex, uh, Alex from Sweden flies all the way out so we can go to the Sweden Japan game in Dallas Texas. Therge? I'm from Swares at a thousand calories. It's two-hakes as barbecue place. I want to honey syrup on this place.

Why is his player not a blonde player? He was kind of, Alice was kind of being like that. Derry blacks, I don't want to go. Who has a Zekito Jean-Bron? Why is his name of Harry? I'm not to J.O.C. I would do a lot. We're like, it's, it is me, Alex, and for people who have listened to a lot of yard, you'll remember Scott gaming. That is our crew for this. Yeah, Scott just impromptu. I guess if you listen to do a lot of yard.

No. You get that one. And we're at the game together. And it's, we're at like Jerry Jones's complex that he is crafted in Arlington, Texas. So you like, we, everybody's leaving. the game. In Dallas. And going... It's in Arlington. Is it? Yeah. He went, dude.

I also went. Isn't it like an hour away? Isn't Arlington like an hour away? I think it is. I don't know. Pretty sure it's an Arlington. It's in Dallas. It's in Dallas Cowboys.

I don't know. I don't fucking care. The Arlington Cowboys. I don't care. They do that's no. And we walk over to these these big sections of bars where everybody's hanging out

afterwards and they're like outdoor. There's a watch party for the USA match. Super. Good time. But one thing is I learned that all of our female fans are in Texas. Because I never in my life, I feel like I never meet female yard fans ever. That's like not who's recognized me. No, I love at events we do.

It's just not at a lightweight events and that's it. That's pretty much it. That's not our demographic. It's 90-10 now. It is what it is. Gone down. You guys have to pick it up. You used to be 8515.

Well. My YouTube channel, I have more women. It's gonna turn around. It's gonna turn around because it's in the air. Yeah, finally. And we're,

in that one evening, I met three women, yard fans back to back to back. It was like waitress, hostess, like person out, just person out. I was like,

this is extremely weird because Scott and Alex are like, don't, we don't hang out that much and they're like, this is crazy. What are you on critical role?

What the fuck is this? And then over the course of the evening, all these people from Texas, keep telling us to go to the same area in Fort Worth. And this one bar keeps coming up called Filthy McNasties. And we're like, we have to go to Filthy McNasties. Of course. And so we want our Texas like night out.

We head out. We get to this bar by like probably midnight. And it's not super busy, but a lot of people who are in town from the World Cup are there. And then a bunch of like typical Dallas like patrons are hanging out. You know, cowboy hats. You know, typical stuff you see at Texas bars. Trud the builder-esque.

And they're, and they, Tud the builder-esque. Okay. Trud the builder with a cowboy hat. Right. He wears the one where he used to. I only see him with, in the mug shots, I've only seen the hair. They didn't let him out of the cowlwai. And we, we start talking to some of these people.

They're immediately excited because they see the jerseys and they think we're all from Sweden. It's only Alex. And they're like, welcome, like, thanks for coming out. Like, and everybody's real nice. And we're talking to this one guy for a while. In the same reaction, every time somebody finds out that I live in Los Angeles, it's like an immediate, like, oh, oh my God.

Like, are things okay with you? Or like, why do you live there? You're like, there's so many dogs and so many coffee shops. And we're talking to this one, we're talking this one older cowboy. And he, we've been talking for like 10 minutes. And he's like, I was just, he's drunk. And he's like, I've fucking, and just so you guys know,

like it's, I know it's whatever you want to call it, I'm Maga, I'm Maga. And then right, coming out as gay. He says, like, this is not prompted by like the earlier part of the conversation at all. And he pulls over his friend. He's like,

this guy, this guy's from California. And he comes over, you know, hat, like baseball cap on American flag, full beard. And he's like,

what's up? What's up? Oh, Los Angeles. Fucking terrible. Fucking terrible. San Diego, though. San Diego,

best place on earth. Love San Diego. And then, He's, we keep talking with him for a while. We're learning a bit of more about him. And he's like, this weekend, you got to take your boy to T.J. You got to go head down. I'm like, I'll tell you one.

Yeah, yeah, maybe. We're not going to go. And then there's a gap in the conversation. We just start talking about other things. Out of the blue, like five, ten minutes later. He's like, you remember to Hong Kong? Okay. And I was like, just came back.

Oh, yeah, like all the time. Yeah, I probably go like one, a year and he's like, that's, you go, you go to Hong Kong once a year. Isn't it amazing? And I'm like, yeah, I mean, it's an incredible, it's an incredible city. And I was like, have you, did you, do you go a lot? Do you like fly over there or something? It's like, fly. Like, uh, no, I mean, you just go over the border. And I was like, what are you, what are you talking about? And he's like, Hong Kong is like three, is that big building Tijuana. You know what I'm talking about. What?

And I was like, I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. And he's like, oh, you're going to love it when you go to TJ. Three floors, all hoars. Dude. Wow. Oh, my God.

It's a gentleman's club. And it's like this guy, and this guy goes on a whole spiel. Hundreds of girls? They'll do any of them. We need to go to TJ stat. Like this, that's what this guy says. You gotta go to HK and TJ. Oh my God. Wait, there's a Macau section. Click the Macau section. And go in the club, Macau. Yeah. Wow. The new pearl of Hong Kong. Oh, they got their whole. Oh, Macau is a place within Hong Kong. Within all of course. Right. Which is interesting because it is a separate special administrative.

It's only confusing. Oh, it's a party zone. it's very very it's like calling your your club Connecticut yeah also come to new haymarket can we go up can we see the Hong Kong

Shipper Gallery just put down right oh god wow Archie your Hong Kong Archie I need you to be you have to reserve

your Hong Kong like room on your app you gotta have an account to see the gallery come on just go to TJ and skip all the fucking account bullshit

yeah yeah dude that's cool that he said it so like like casually like oh you been to Hong Kong? Like I would know. You should know. I think I realized,

I actually realized after he brings this up that I did know about it because Channel 5 did a video about it. Really? Yes. And I was like, that's the... Was the video called going to Hong Kong? And everyone's like, what? They're interviewing a bunch of women who work at Hong Kong in like other areas in

Tijuana, basically. Were they like really good experience? And being like, come now. We get paid awesome. Do you think that guy knows it's a country? I it's crazy because by the end like when I said it's a city he did seem confused yeah I mean I don't think he considers ever going to it and then he did get he was like oh is that Hong Kong you know it should return to the mainland yeah we did like oh no that's a special administrative region you've got it all mixed up excuse me I'm sorry I was talking about the sex

worker establishment Tijuana three stories all He wasn't quite like that. Restores all horrors. Shit, boy. And there was one guy. So we leave, we leave this place. And we had a really, it was actually an amazing, we had our amazing Texas night. It was kind of awesome.

And we run into this guy who's like 6'5. He's ripped. He says he's from Oklahoma. And he's just like, he just kind of tags onto our group. And we're walking down the street that all these bars are on. And he sees a woman like alone on the opposite. side of the street and he was like and now that's why i love texas he just points at her yeah i'm like yells at her too and then we're and then we're like dude maybe like don't don't do that like it's

and then she she looks over and then she walks over to us and she's like hey i'm actually from the uk and then she joins our group and then they immediately start making out like no B, skip. She, I'm not, I'm not kidding. It was, it was insane because he just pointed. She was like, not from Texas. And then they just click. But they keep walking with us. This is pretty common. This has been like a huge phenomenon because of the World Cup, but Americans are having sex crazy style. It's finally our time. Because of all the tourists coming and then the Americans going to World Cup games, freaking, everybody's swiping, everybody's fucking, they're putting tongues and butts. fingers and butts and get all horny. I've a theory that I've developed that I've developed from a trip

in high school. Tell me your theory. It was in high school when you went to like school dances and things like that I think you watch like in movies like kids would be like partying crazy and hooking up and doing all this stuff. But at my school like people didn't really do that or like

we were in this uh we would go to this like state competitions or like conventions for things related to school. At the state things like nothing really happened either. It kind of did. We went to a national conference one year. At the national conferences, everybody, everybody was fucking. And I think everybody is like, I have my like crazy trip that I'm on. But there's no one will ever see me again.

Because they're going to a different country. And it's going to be over. There will be so many dual citizenship children in like nine months from now. Not after the Supreme Court tomorrow, bro. What? They're going to decide on it. They're going to decide on shake. On birthright sentence. Fucking shake drizzle. Yeah, imagine me a woman from the UK and you're like,

oh, I'm gonna see a cowboy's butthole. But you're also from Australia. You're fucked up. I'm not even kidding. What happened literally right after is we keep walking. We're like, they're still with us. And then we hear an Australian accent

and me and Scott instantly prock because we're like Aussies. What are they doing here? Dude, it's an Aussie cowboy. He's like from Adelaide and he lives in Dallas now and works on a ranch. And we just like,

chum it up with this guy while the other two make out in the background. That's advanced racist. Yeah. You're an Australian cowboy. You're like, I belong in Texas. Yeah, yeah. You've found your home. So you're just like, kind of like a final fantasy party. It was kind of odd. Just collecting everyone. Everyone has different abilities. And it's Lou

fucking crazy on Waka. Oh. What? They grew up together. It's kind of fucked up that they end up together. It's all right. It's fine. It is what it is. Because she was with his. I know.

That's kind of bad. I know, bro. Dude, I went to a World Cup game and I have to put Leslie Fu on blast that fucking raging friend. Friend of mine. What'd she do?

You're gonna be on my side in a moment. I'm not right now because you're really aggressive toward a woman. I drove. Okay, because Tara invited me to a World Cup game. He's like, let's meet here.

We'll Uber over together. I'm driving. As I'm driving, somebody pulls up next to me and this happens all the time my K truck. And they're like, fucking nice truck. Pulls up next to me. I rolled down my,

would have to crank it. So I'm cranking. And then he goes, flat tire. Oh, and I go, and I go, nice ride, huh? He's like, flat tire. And I look, he's fucking right. My tire is crazy flat. So I'm close to home.

So I pull over, like a random, like, Wendy's. And then I, and I just get an Uber to worse with me. And after the game, I'm with Miong and Leslie. And they offered to give me a ride back to my car. I'm like, that'd be great. Because I need to drive it back home to get a fixed. we're getting in Miyang's car. I see the car.

I say shotgun. No blitz. Okay. Okay. Leslie sprints to the car gets into the shotgun. She didn't say time machine or? She didn't say anything at all.

So she blitzed. What was it? What's the next step after time machine? It's Obama. There's a lot of, there's problematic ones now. There's a lot of problematic permutation. Obama care is one of them.

Okay. It's, I think we should, you know, I say shotgun, no blitz, she says nothing gets into shotgun. Right.

I stand next to shotgun. I go get out. Yeah, get out. I said shotgun. Like, you might as well just rip her out of the car.

Like, like, there's counterplay. There is counterplay. There's counterplay. This isn't the counterplay. She goes, I don't know what no blitz is.

And I go, well, do you know what shotgun is? Because I did call it. She does know what shotgun is. Yeah, I call it. I call it.

I don't know what the night does. You can't take me. I call shotgun. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I call shotgun after seeing the car, you have to get in the back. She goes, I don't want to get in the back because we're going to give you a ride. And then I'm going to be in the back seat.

And then the ride's going to continue. And I go, I don't care. Get out and get in the front after. That would be so logical if I didn't call shotgun. Is there not an interview? Is there not an interview that looks at her and says, you know what? I'm turning 31 next week. That's what ends up happening.

Aiden is I sit there indignant for like a good, like actual 90 seconds. That's a long. It's a long time. And I can feel her buckling and then she does one final stands her ground. She goes, no, it'd be weird. And I get in the back. And I go, people will hear about this.

Oh yeah. I'm making your life hell. I don't know, man. I think you gotta just really make it a horrible problem for everybody. You gave up after 90 seconds. Make it hurt. She was a terrorist all fucking game.

You start walking down the street. You're gonna walk to your car. Oh my God. They got to pull up next to you. I loki needed the ride. Like I. I was... They offered me the ride.

It was a far walk. You don't want to get called with that hand. No, I don't want to get called on that. But you start to take your shoes off and hold them as you walk to your car. The whole fucking day, she was a bit of a terrorist because we go to this World Cup game and it's clear bag policy. She's a big floppy bag. So she gets like another bag.

They sell clear bags for people like her. And she puts all of her stuff in it. For people who need help. For people who need help. For people like her who need help. And I was kind of being an asshole because she's like, can you hold my red ball? I drink the whole thing.

And she's like, can you hold my phone? She's already Amazon carded the same bag. I add like $400 of Robux cards. Yep. You are. Oh my God. And then and then we're walking. She puts a $1,000 bet on Turkey winning.

Turkey is owed to at this tournament. This is their third game. They are not favorites in this. That has to be strong odds too, right? It's like four to one. She stands to make like $2,800 about. Okay. And is the math on that?

Okay. there's only Turkish people there. They're all like cash out. Fucking get out of there, bro. You can make the Turkish people. Do you're allowed to cash your bet out before the game is over? Yeah, it's like the whole thing with prediction markets is that you're not making a bet. You're in the market.

It's so dark. It's crazy. It's why it's legally allowed and it should be illegal and it will be in four years, but the Trump administration won't do anything. Yeah. But Eric Trump's on like the board for Couchy. You gotta keep it in Vegas. You just keep it in Vegas.

You just keep it in Vegas. That's why Vegas is 108 degrees. We all go there and we get punished for being there. Yes. And it feels like you're inside of hair dryer. It's good. It goes and you're in hell and the devil's there. You come back and you're like, I'm never doing that again.

You do it again next year. They have a lot of board members from a lot of different places. No need to know the president's son. Eric Trump. Is a board member? Is one of them. I feel like you're only noting him. I'm just saying it a little weird.

They have a lot of board members to have a lot of knowledge. And that whole company where they own the tux and deal with Kazakhstan, it's like, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Any of that company, you probably want it based off the merit of the company.

of the Turkey USA game. I'm sure it'll come up. If you look up, last goal, you don't know about this, I assume. So a football game is 90 minutes. Yeah. And then, you know, there's the added time. This game was at the 98th minute.

So it was 90 minutes. They added eight minutes in her time. It's actually at 97 minutes in like 56 seconds. The game is tied to two. If it ties, she loses her bet because the bet is a turkey win. And then this happens with like, unironically overtime at this point

because that's actually plus seven. It's already seven over 90. But the only reason they didn't end it is because there was like an injury during overtime. Is USA white? USA is blue. That was Turkey.

That was turkey like 53 seconds after it might have ended at the very final second and they score and they win their only game. They're still limited from the tournament and they beat USA. Oh my God. The beauty of this too is that USA didn't need the win. Yeah.

Because we're already out of the group stage. It affected nothing for USA, but it was huge, Turkey who had literally not scored a goal before this game against much worse teams. And it was huge for Leslie and she popped off crazy and then didn't give me shotgun and she's a bitch. Sorry, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Came out aggressive, bitch. Whoa, whoa. It's lowering. It's gonna be like 92, eight by the end of the episode. It's gonna be, it's gonna be. What did Terry do when they won? Do you just go? Let's go. No, every off? Because I was in a suite that he got with like

only Turkish fans. So they all went fucking crazy. Just about like dog surgery. And they all went they all smell really good. They smell like cologne and they all were going, us, us, us, and then this is how you say like, fuck you in Turkey, they're all like, you see a Turkish person do this.

Oh my God. That is a great. I like that. And they were like, they were like doing the thing we're like, it means hello and it's like I can just tell. I can tell it means nothing nice. Oh, so you do that to your mom. They say hello to your mom that way? It looks really bad. It looks much worse than a simple middle finger. You're leaning

too heavily in your Greek, your Greek roots. No, I don't think I'm living heavily enough. Hey, they're awful people. This is from the Turks. Yeah. Oh, that's a Turkish thing. I like that. You know what the Greeks says? That's what? That's what?

That's what? That's what? What's that? He's saying, he's saying like, like, Garos. Like, oh, he can't say it. I mean, he won't know what I'm saying if I say like, he's trying to say like a bad thing. I hit a lot. It's not. It's lamb and peanut bread. It is right. It is. It is. Itos is yummy. I agree. Oh. I'll really got a quick. answer Aiden's question. Yes. I never got to.

Did I go up or down? Lost 3K when I got there. I went on a heroic journey. I went on, it was heroic what I did. Every Nick Vegas story is like, yeah, I went down 3,700 and then now I fucking went up $100. Basically. And so it was an adventure to get there. In the long story short, I played

a lot of blackjack. I had about $100 left and I was like no more ATM trips. I already went three times. This is my last $100. Ran that $100 up to about like $4,400. Whoa. See, here's the deal. Why don't you just go with $100? That's like what I made. So I only went up like, you know.

Well, that's a crazy dream. Why don't you just go to Vegas with $100? Then you would just make $4,400 without ever having to lose it. Yeah, bro. And that's facts. And shout out to this guy, Blake, I was sitting at the table with for a very long time. He got out of a street fighter pool, shout out. Nice.

And we both made a lot of money together and it was really fun. Dude. But the way I ended up up was I had in a $1,000 chip. And I put it on black. With my last thing I was doing before going to the airport, it misses. It felt bad. Yeah. Then the guy next to me looks at me.

He's like, if you want to go again, I'll ride with you. and I was like, you'll ride with me? And he was starting, he was playing the board. He took all his money off the board. He put it all on whatever color I wanted to go on. I ride with this guy, $750 on black. It hits. Y'all got each other's,

you know, he says hand in each other's back pockets. Yeah, yeah, we're holding each other. We're gripping. Gripping each other. Put another thousand on black, it hits. I get out of there. I go to the airport. I'm clean.

Wow. That's a good, that's what I try to do is I put, I was going to the airport. I had a 5K chip. I put it on roulette, black, it hits. And then I put the 10K on one blackjack hand. This was a loan? Yeah.

And I just got fried. That's what I told you. I was like, just play tomorrow. That's what I did. Okay, so you did go back. Yes,

and that's how I lost the remainder of the money. Fuck, man. I wanted to get a text that you were just like, it was heroic. It would have been. I gave myself a shot. I gave myself a shot. It just didn't pan out.

There was one guy. Slime said he's valid. I think it's funny. There's this guy who I was playing. You know when you like get a, you hit a vibe at a table where you're completely alone. You and the dealer, you're sharing small things,

but really no one's speaking. and you're just playing. I had one of those awesome tables. And I was grandfathered into my minimum, which was 50. They already raised it to like fucking way above that. And I was grandfathered in. So it was cool.

And I'm sitting there. And this man comes up. He was like the Indian Don Corleone is what I said. He looks like. He comes up. He's got like the puppy cheeks. He got a suit on. He sits down.

He's like kind of like disgruntled. And he starts playing multiple hands at like $200 each hand. He has not, he didn't win any hands. He lost all his hands, probably like seven to 10 hands in a row. He goes, I can't win any fucking hands. And he has not any fucking hands. And then he stops playing and for an hour and a half watched me play without saying a word. He sits next to me and watches when I put chips.

I hit, it doesn't say a word and you just watch. Even the great artists of their time used to watch Mozart. You just watch silence. And I was losing every single hand with him until he stopped and watched. And then I, that's when I went up. That's when I made like four grand. You fed off of his energy. I think he was feeding me the energy.

I think he was giving me the, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, sit on this and I'll watch you. Did you ever lean over and give him a tip? You left? He left before I could even kiss him or anything. Do you remember what happened on the plane? Hmm? Remember what? Yeah. That was so odd. Did you guys all fly back together? No, no. I just fucking kissed.

I just flew with Nick and we kissed going in and I was a real piece of shit because like we both have the same flight. I get there 20 minutes before it leaves and I see a line. I'm like, I'm gonna get a fucking bagel and a coffee. Nick's already on the plane. I'm the last one on the plane

with my fucking bagel and coffee. He don't have shit. He looks like a bitch. I'm bitched by him. I'm eating fucking good. He was late to the airport. He was late. He was like five minutes

until we depart, not bored. And he decides that he still has time to get a bagel. The bagels in the toaster and I'm looking at the line and it's like getting really thin. I'm like,

you might want to pull that early. I don't care if it's crispy. And he's like, that's you? And he's like, that's you? And I'm like, yeah. He's like, wow, it's crazy. you fucking ordered. And we get on the plane,

we're fucking talking and we're, and we're just talking about life. We're life talking. We're dumping out of each other. It's mostly like Nick talking and I'm just going, mm-hmm. Offering little nuggets every once in a while,

but really just being an active listener. Heard that. Yeah. And we land. We're collecting all our things. Lady in front of me turns around, leans over the seat, and she goes,

I just want to say, looks at me, you're a great listener. No, no. She said, she said, she said, I just want to say, I love your language skills. That's it. I love your language.

To Ludwig? And then without even letting the Ludwig respond, like walks away. Yes. And we couldn't figure out. It felt like she was being passive aggressive. Like you were too loud and she was trying to fucking. But she said it to Ludwig.

She knew I was the one speaking. She knew that it was me. There's no way. I was the bitch. She turned around. I was still talking. So she saw that I was the one talking basically. whole time.

Of your language. We had a huge debate whether it was genuine or whether I said like a curse word she didn't like because I couldn't tell but Nick was like also you know what I mean?

Yeah, I was cursory and I can talk loud in public spaces and stuff. So it was weird because she looked right at him didn't say anything to me she's like I appreciate your language skills. Maybe she means he cursed

he didn't curse I appreciate that you didn't swear. It could have been something that she wanted to say to me but like didn't have the nuts. Yeah, she's possible to pass a reference to Nick, not you. Because like In reality, like, the compliments warranted he's being a great listener.

And me, and me kind of talking very vulnerably to him, right? So he's deserving of someone complimenting him, I guess. But the, like, the body language of, like, immediately leaving after saying it. Yeah, it's kind of like, it was weird, but I think I just listened so fucking crazy. You didn't use a lot of language. You listen so hard. I listened so hard that the lady in front was, like, mesmerized with me not talking.

It was just, wow. And what few words you did say, stuck with her? Yeah, it was like me going, bitch. He sounds like a pussy. Yeah. It was so strange. Okay, guys, we're at time. I do have one last thing though. What do you want to do? I had a realization. Do you want to see it? Because you all you all went to Evo. You had a nice weekend. Yeah. And I felt I started to feel a rare feeling. I don't feel it very often. A little fomo.

Mo Mo Mo. But I realize I don't need to because of the one other thing that comes with the win. slime. Slime made a bet. Oh yeah. We're all hanging out on 4th of July. We're all going to big bear together. And slime's like, I don't want to go. I don't want to go. But I will go if Lovely wins his match. Yeah, now you come.

Yeah, now you come for me. Yeah, it's going to suck. I'm going to watch you come for me. You'll be with us. I don't want to come for you. You're going to come for me. You have to come for me. I do. I'm a mad of my word.

Polaroid moment. Polaroid moment. I can't believe you guys like this shit. You only are going because your girlfriends want to go. No, we wouldn't go the other way. I like when you come for me. I don't care about the rest of the details. Oh, whatever.

What was your final thing you wanted to leave off with? I was getting on the plane to get there. I'm coming up to the, and there's a woman taking your thing, right? And the, the, in your smartphone. And she's black. And this is important because I'm like right up there. And this guy behind me, I just hear him say,

oh, black fatigue. And I'm, what? And I'm like, That's something you get Neldon ring in the co-op mod It was crazy And I turn around And it's probably this like

50 year old Asian guy And I turn around I was like what do you say dude And he's like kind of Taking aback Because I think he thought he said it Under his breath And but he didn't

And he's like Oh You hear what I said man And I'm like You say shit like that all the time You didn't say it very loud Is it because you're worried About what people would think

If you did say it And we keep walking and you know she she takes her and we move past her and then I'm like so you just you just say shit like that but you say it kind of quiet you make sure you say it quiet

I'm pressing this guy on the sky bridge and he's like yeah I mean if I said it you know if I said it too loud it becomes a whole thing everyone's too like PC these days and I'm like no dude I think you don't say that loud enough and then I immediately and I say because you have the body of a child

and that if you said anything then you would have to put up your body of a child that you have. And I'm saying this so loud, people on the Skybridge are like laughing. They don't know what this is about, but they know we're arguing. And they know that... And I keep saying that you have the body of a child. Oh my fucking God.

And he's like, I don't know, man. You know, yeah, I'm a small guy, but I'm having a lot of scraps all my life. Bro, I bet I could take someone like you. I'm like, how? How would you do that? How would you do that? and he's like, whoa, what are you going to do? You're going to kick my ass?

I'm not going to do anything. I'm just talking to you because you said something insane. And he's like, oh, okay. I can really, I can hurt you, bro. I could hurt you. I'm like, dude, and I say one arm. And I said, I could kill you. And I said that to it.

I said that to it straight on the sky bridge. And there's a guy holding his baby just laughing at it. And then we kept, we like, kept kind of just going back and forth in this loop. but we're getting on the same plane, right? And I... Oh, damn, this is all the sky bridge getting on the plane. Yes, bro. Oh, my God.

And I go and I sit down first because my seat's there. And he's like, oh, good thing, good thing. I'm sitting right next to you. And I said, oh, really? I'm going to make this flight miserable for you, bro. And he looks at me, he's like, nah, I'm just kidding. I'm up here. And he keeps walking.

Because Southwest don't do pick your seats anymore. Yeah, they don't. And the odds would have been crazy. The odds have been insane. and I was kind of hoping so I made a tweet because we ended up sitting on the runway for like an hour

and I made a tweet at United saying that we've been in here for an hour, hey guys and while here your whole plane staff started molesting this old guy and what I wanted to do yeah I said even the pilot

and what I wanted to do was have him be still mad at me to come talk to me and immediately I pull up my phone not him not knowing I said this and immediately say, hey, bro, tell him what they did to you. And he would just say whatever he was about to say. Yeah.

Maybe threatening or maybe upset. And then I would go, this is the God. Oh, my God. Dude. But he ended up for Christmas. He ended up just not, he walked right past me. Everyone in to him again? No, I sat at one of the seats near kind of waiting for him. And he walks by and I look up at him.

I'm just smiling and he just nods his head and keeps walking. Oh my. Did the lady say anything? She didn't hear any of it. She heard any of it? Yeah. It was just, it was a conversation that was quiet enough and she was obviously busy.

Yeah. And it's also like kind of shitty. It's like, guess what this guy just said, right? No, I just assumed she had heard it because it was a lot of enough. Is that like a new, is that like a phrase that it's existed before?

Did he make that up? No, I think he just made it up. I never heard that type of racism. This whole segment is like anybody, anybody who falls into the tar, of you would never, like, you would never step to me online. You only say this for likes.

Anybody who says that about you any time. It's just what it's like. To be fair, if this guy was like 100 pounds on me in 6'8, I don't think I would have said as much as I would have said. I still would have said something. I'd be like, you say that to people. But if he starts like, you know, if this guy was like, I'm going to break your like chicken neck, I'd be like, you know what?

You win. Yeah. Like, I'm a realist. But I kind of, I, you know, I was privileged enough to be born stronger than this. To be arguing with the guy who had the body of a child. So, you, because, like, he almost didn't tell this story. You know what I mean? Like, it's end of the episode.

Yeah, I remember it because of, you guys started about the plane. That's how about it he is, is that this is almost forgettable. I just, you know what? It's because I didn't get the fucking the final coup de grace of the guy getting molested on the plane. And I could see, I would have put, held in my camera, be like, yeah, you know, all these people, all these people. You all talk. All you do is talk. And it's like, yeah, he's fucked up.

They fucked him up. He's all weird now. Anyway, guys, I hope United Airlines doesn't do anything like that to you or your loved ones. And I hope you keep it nice and chill and not racist. And we'll see you in the primo where we're going to have Seedog on every single week this month. Yeah, you committed to it. He did say that. See ya.
