What is South African cuisine?
There's a lot of mixture of stuff throw that mic a lot of different oh my
bad a lot of different recording i think we're recording right now yeah oh it's a lot of i mean
i feel like just because so many people have colonized it you know you get a nice mixture
a lot of british stuff they're also super into gin which i feel like is just because of the brits
um but like one of the it was like a tasting menu place.
But one was like,
they just do end up doing fusion
with local ingredients.
One of the nice places we went to
was French-inspired.
Another one was Japanese-inspired,
but then they just used stuff
that they have around.
Yeah.
I gotta check it out.
It's pretty tight.
Chad, you wanna kick us off yeah you tired no I'm
just thinking of something to say you seem tired I didn't go asleep last night
oh really what's going on would you enjoying some company I'm a pervert i like to know i was in san diego oh and uh drove back late
anyways sounds like there's more to it i'll talk about it later it's a little premature
that sounds exciting yeah i had a great time.
But let's fire up this pod, slap the titties, and spread my ass.
What's up, Stokers of Stoke Nation? This is Chad Kroger coming in with the Going Deep in Challenge AT Podcast.
Guys, no.
I'm here with my compadre, John Thomas.
Boom clap, Stokers.
I'm here with my compadre Jean Thomas
boom clap stokers
and we're here with the
the
the Jacques de Javier
oh
Strider Wilson
honored
oui oui
is that French?
was that French?
I was just
oui oui
I was like what's a J word
that goes with Javier Bardem
oh dude yeah
people love that Bardem impression yeah just probably and really inspired me
to be a very good man so I have to give him credit where credit is doing just do credit
he's a very funny funny man very funny what makes him so funny he's everything he's a part of a
surprise every time he heard listen to the, actually, he heard me talking about him singing his praises.
So he called me up singing, called me up singing, motherfucker, motherfucker.
Were you depressed when he called you?
I was very sad.
I was very sad.
I'm always in a state of sadness.
When he called me, I was driving long distance in the desert alone, thinking, not drinking water,
and just hoping to get died
from a meteorite
crashing straight into my moonroof.
And so I hope to go down.
Why a meteorite?
Because if you're in the desert,
lots of times I find that
meteors fall out there a lot.
Through my research,
I've learned about that.
I've learned about that.
And Josh Brolin called me,
so funny.
He sent me a text message
of his grundle.
He says, hey, this is his grundle. He says,
hey, this is my grundle, motherfucker. It's his backbite. You know, because he is always
telling his perennial,
and he showed me his grundle,
and I said, what is it? So funny
to know it's his gooch.
Of course, I called it his gooch. Do you ever joke
with him? I'm not a very funny
man. I'm not a very serious
man. So that's why when he
brings me this levity and making me so happy no you need that in your life that's nice but yeah
do that i was fired up to do that dude that just came about nice and organically we were hanging
out you showed me a nice clip yeah i was just laughing at javier bardem in the clip i was this
guy's really dramatic i mean you just were like so have you had that impression in
the can or you just came up with it that day i never did a javier bardem i used to do like a
at ucb like a um a spanish teacher who like would talk about his kids and he would he could never
his students kept pranking him and so he would he would try to prank his students back but he
was such a kind heart that he could never Yeah, thank them back. He always encouraged them. It's really like Ashley. You're the tallest girl in the class
And you every time you show up people know and it's not because you're tall is because you are smart
And it is because you have a bright smile and never let that change nothing was that based off a real teacher
but no that was just based off it was a pitch that i did and then the person was
like what the director who's how how's the director oh nice he's like dude get emotional
with this i'd love to see you be emotional and another director this girl anis who's great
she's like yeah play like a just find different ranges and i could get away with playing a spanish
dude we had sophomore year spanish together right with Miss Seidenfeld yeah I'll blank her name yeah
yeah we did
we did
I was a bully in that class
Ferraro was in that class
I remember we were doing
a quiz one time
and I threw his pencil
out the window
it was on the third story
I said good luck
finishing now dude
nice
classic great bullying dude
that's funny
yeah
I have one distinct memory
I sat next to a
Kristen Constantino
Lauren Adams.
I was in a good row.
It's a great row.
It's a murderer's row.
Hot high school girls.
One time they were talking about,
dude, I'm reading that Anthony Kiedis book,
and it's funny, when he talks about girls he dated in junior high,
he still describes how beautiful they are,
and he's like, she wore these guest jeans
that just made her body into that of an angel.
And he puts himself back into that 12 year old head
but i can't stop picturing him as a 50 year old man and still like fantasizing about them but i
guess you know he's he's thinking of it as a 12 year old but it is a little shocking but i remember
in that spanish class those girls were talking about how hot tony soprano was whoa really and
i couldn't wrap my head around it because like back then it was like justin timberlake on the
color of rolling stone it was like you know younger yeah fit people but they both of them were like yeah
tony soprano's a smoke show dude whoa i could see it uh well whenever i re-watch sopranos i'm like
it's his power it's his animalistic power yeah 100 he just oozes that yeah so they were watching
sopranos like would anybody find him sexy if you don't watch the Sopranos? You need the context.
Him in the intro with that music with the cigar
is a hot dude. Have you seen the footage
behind the scenes of him beating the shit out of an Escalade
to get into character? No.
Yeah, it's just him before a scene getting into character
and he's just punching an Escalade. Really?
I really hope it was his car.
That's amazing.
You see some locations manager
and he's like, James! James, can you stop? Someone stop stop someone stop him they're like no he's got to get into character let him go
shut the fuck up you piece of shit and then speaking you chris i think you have that same
animalistic passion oh for sure yeah i would say i'm the tony soprano of our friend group
for sure nice so in every way and you saw some animals recently yeah yeah i went
on safari saw some saw some big ones saw some lions dude very mellow cool yeah they kind of
just lay around right during the day they're just chill like the guy was the the bigger dude was
sleeping kind of like face to face with the, with the lioness.
Cause he didn't want the smaller lion male line to roll up.
So he literally sleeps like right next to her to make sure nothing happens.
And we drive up and he just pick his head up and like,
look,
and then just be like,
Oh,
nevermind.
And then just lay back down and they would just,
and then they would just chill.
So you could get,
we like drove like right next to them. Right. amazing that's awesome that's pretty good i'm gonna
safari so bad did they roar or yawn sorry sorry just like he just made sleepy faces like
go down and i guess they were our guide was saying like she's actually part of this other pack
and she's she's probably not actually having sex with this dude
and he's just she's just trying to keep him from because another lioness in that pack had babies
and she's just keeping this one preoccupied so he doesn't stumble in there and go after the babies
so that he can try and mate with with them and so she's just running distraction and this dude doesn't even know it wow you used to
have that great joke where it'd be an innocuous moment in a movie where a woman would say
something straightforward to like her the guy in the scene with her like the lady would be like
and it'd be innocuous dialogue she'd be like hey i'm gonna go get like dinner
and then my brother just turned to me and go, she's playing them.
Dudes, also, someone came up with a name for this setup right here between us four.
What's the name? I wanted to pitch it, see how you guys feel about it.
The Four Freshmen?
Yeah, I saw that.
I didn't know why.
I'm confused by freshman.
I guess because my brothers knew.
Right.
I do like, I kind of like, I kind of like us being the four freshmen because it's like, we're fresh.
We're new and like, we're like young whippersnappers.
Is there a way we can say it?
Like, we're the four fresh men.
Right.
Like emphasize the fresh part.
I like when fresh is used as like kind of a critique of how someone's acting, you know?
Yeah.
Are you being fresh with me?
Yeah.
Like you being a little shit?
I don't want to step on Joe's toes and like the whole four and four, maybe just the freshman.
I don't know.
Oh, the freshman, that's better.
Yeah, losing the four is better.
That's a great call right there.
That's like Timberlake Facebook style.
Just Facebook.
It's more elegant.
It's cleaner.
Freshman.
Freshman.
The freshman.
Was it the Facebook?
It was the Facebook.
And then he says that leaving the first, in the movie.
Guy's a genius.
He's worth a bill.
Give him that bill.
He's so fucking cool.
He is cool in that movie.
I mean.
He's not good at that.
I don't know.
He's a freshman.
You didn't think he was good? No, I said he's so good in that movie oh okay yeah
did you uh who'd you guys side with in the social network were you with mark or were you with the uh
oh i'm big time with uh garfield right just because i know about mark now i guess i guess
it's hard for me to separate the two when i just watched the movie but i think knowing after mark you know rode that uh
hydrofoil with all that sunscreen i was like he deserves to lose all his money all time cool but
what about zuckerberg versus the uh winklevi i like the winklevoss twins now because they're
pretty sick i think they're just cool dudes and they pushing Bitcoin and their crypto gods. So I would go with them.
They're all about decentralization.
He's all about putting us in the metaphors and all this other, you know, crazy shit that Facebook's doing.
I don't even know.
It's compelling.
Yeah.
Winklevide brothers are also 6'5".
I like height.
And when I valeted their car at the hotel, they did have a snowboard rack on their BMW.
And I respected that.
Did they tip well?
No.
Really?
They didn't have any cash, dude.
They throw you some dough.
They gave me a tip.
They said, are you maximizing your time here?
Is this the best utility of your time?
Valeting.
I was like, I don't know.
It could be better if you gave me a 20, dude.
It would be sick.
Well, speaking of the metaverse and virtual things yeah people know what we do here we we draft yes we do a draft we have a draft today
we're pivoting away from film we're doing our top four video games of all time and we've had so much
disagreement over genre and parameters not looking at anyone particularly and then uh although bernalina
who runs atc checked me well where i was like i was like striders got a step in a genre he's like
bro you picked eyes wide shut at a christmas movie and i was like i needed to hear that
but so for this one we have a little bit more of a of a of a setup so we're gonna do
you pick four video games at least two have to be console games but all four can be console games
how do we define console games something you fucking plug into a tv and you have a controller
to play it dude and then xbox playstation nintendo sega something you unwrap at christmas dude
dreamcast dreamcast dude dreamcast was sick dream Dreamcast was bro. I played Dreamcast. I got some Dreamcast picks, baby.
Dude, do you really?
Oh, yeah, baby. Of course you do, John Ravender.
Dreamcast is a great system.
You've done four Dreamcast picks, dude.
You sick of it, bro?
Yeah, dude, Pokemon Go on Dreamcast.
Just play it by yourself, dude.
This one's going to make Aaron cream.
Oh, dude, Aaron, dude,
did you bring a change of pants, bro?
Because you're going to be cream in this episode, dude. Careful, I'm in the splash Oh, dude, Aaron, dude, you better, did you bring a change of pants, bro? Because you're going to be
cream in this episode, dude.
Careful, I'm in the splash zone, dude.
This dude slings,
ropes him.
Ropes is jizz,
is what I meant to say.
I'm a fucking pervert.
I love that.
So we're going to do
at least two console games
you can do up to four
and then you can do
one computer game
and you can do
one arcade game
sick
and
so here comes
we should
odds are even
it's real quick
to figure out the order
nervous dude
snake style as always
oh man
oh right
yeah what do we do
so you throw out a one or a two
oh right right right
yeah don't look dude
you ready
wait so how you calling it JT just one two three then we pull, right, right. Yeah, don't look, dude. You ready? Wait, so how are you calling it, JT?
Just one, two, three, then we pull it out.
One, two, three, and then shoot.
Okay.
One, two, three.
Shoot.
We got to go again.
Okay, we got to go again.
We got to go again.
One, two, three.
So you're the fourth pick.
Fourth, okay.
One, two, three.
You're the third pick.
That's fine.
One, two, three.
Oh, no, we have to do paper, rock, scissors.
Oh, okay.
So paper, rock, scissors, shoot.
Dude, I don't want to be number one.
I need to know what I'm going to pick.
Paper, rock, scissors, shoot.
Yeah.
Paper, rock, scissors, shoot.
All right, I have my number one pick.
Oh, fuck, that's nerve-wracking, dude.
Yeah, last time I got to this point and then was like, I didn't think about this.
I know.
Hey, can you hand me one of those smashes, bro?
Absolutely.
Let's go, dude.
Let's loosen up, dude.
Let's get going, dude.
We smashed a lot this weekend.
Did you?
Yeah.
I'd love to hear that.
With the boys in Denver, dude.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Shout out to the Denver crew, dude.
Legends.
All right.
I think I know what my number one pick is and it's i don't know i'm nervous i don't think it's the one that uh i know what my number
one pick is and actually i don't even have to say it because we have visual imagery that by coincidence is in studio. Oh,
shnikes.
Oh,
master chief.
I'm going halo.
Nice.
A lot of this more so than movies is steeped in nostalgia.
I think there's another game that I played a lot more when I was younger.
That's a similar version of,
of it's like the same kind of game shooter style.
But I think when halo came out on uh on xbox
it just for one thing it revolutionized the playing style because i think it was the first
game i can remember where it was double access control where you could be moving with one
joystick but then controlling the direction you're shooting with the other one never seen anything like that and then the single player like uh campaign campaign mode was amazing so story was great master chief was an amazing
protagonist uh cortana cortana was a hope the monsters were freaking great the little critters
that you'd have to blast around i love the flood the different uh weapons the human
weapons versus the alien weapons was dope and then but most of all the reason i'm picking it is
the multiplayer was insane dude like blood gulch blood gulch hang them high yeah hang them high
which was you see that was what was so funny because me and my brother grew up
playing halo two on two we'd always play against against Josh Pankow and Greg Giebel.
And we'd play the snow level.
We played that.
And then Blood Gulch was like our...
We got tired of that one because we played it 30 times.
What was the snow one called?
That was Halo 2, wasn't it?
No, that was the first one.
Okay.
And then we got...
We played that snow level so much where we had such a set style where i would be in a ghost this
was the first multiplayer i can remember too where you had the vehicle option i'd be in a ghost my
brother would get the tank if we couldn't we'd hang out in this one cave and bait the dudes up
to come get us and we'd always beat josh and greg because we always had great teamwork and then one
time we just kept talking shit to greg until we baited him into driving up there josh was like
don't do it we have the advantage don't you fucking do it greg greg comes up there we kill him going like a 30 kill amazing take the game and uh yeah i just
probably spent the most valuable time playing that one and the two-on-two was great you had
the pistols were amazing especially in hang them high because when i started hanging out with you
i realized you guys played hang them high and it was all pistols and it was a totally different
version of the game you guys didn't like vehicles didn't like them yeah you would like ban them on
every level right on blood gulch we take them out get rid of tanks get rid of ghosts
get rid of banshees take them all out i was a sniper in the tank cell i was darting people
from across the map oh yeah you could yes because the for the rocket on it but it was a great game
i think and i think yeah it's it's got to be my number one and i needed a first person shooter
yeah in in my list and i'm going with halo so
halo is my number one dude you also can't forget that halo is the birthplace of t-bagging oh yeah
and it's better for bagging it's the best bagging game is where it first started happening and
it started it all let's go for the intro song
very ominous go for the intro song well what do you guys say what's your take on the sword
how do you guys feel about the sword that came in at number two oh that was
number two yeah I wanted them to do it and I was psyched when they did it it
was amazing yeah they had the beatdown in number one which is fun right but the
plasma sword the one I'm one for the most part when you
get that and you're just plowing through dudes it's amazing that way you it gave you that extra
burst in your leap too when you want to do it yeah dude we would play prisoner just grenades
and hitting only that's all you were allowed to do like you'd have a pistol but you're going guns
but you couldn't pick them up you just strap bros with plasmas throw frags the plasma grenades
those were the best.
Bro, if you strap someone.
Dude, like someone would down you and go, I fucking strapped you.
And then they'd die when you were dead and it'd be the greatest thing in the world.
Who knew they were about to go down?
I think it's from Halo.
Because when you would play online, if you did that to someone, you'd get extra points
and it would say, from the grave.
Because they would kill you, but you would have stuck them.
Oh, dude. And then from the grave is the best yeah explode when they're running away with
the blast which is like a fucking catchy you're done that dude's voice too running riot yeah
yeah when you get some kills in a row so good killing streak yeah running riot yeah there was
one after that like 10 which i never yeah there's like something yeah yeah i forget that's fucking dope though all right chad um
i'm also gonna go with the first person shooter nothing wrong with that this is a classic you
guys i'm sure you know what i'm talking about it started the first i think it was the first
first person shooter if i'm not mistaken i don't know i don't know culturally it felt like it changed the game it changed i know what you're gonna say
probably like multiplayer one right right yeah yeah golden eye yeah bro bro let's go
dude i started playing that when i was like you know came in 97 probably when i was like seven
years old and changed my world i mean dude i my mom would
make me peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwiches and i would try to get that golden
gun and just captains i mean it was all it was great it's multi it had multiplayer too right
icon and the story mode is epic and dude when you get on the um the satellite level that was
always my favorite and you uh who's that guy, Sean Bean? Trevelyan, dude.
You got to kill the Sean Bean character guy.
The look of it was incredible, too.
The way the bad guys and the girl looked in it was so hilarious.
Yeah.
Great gun.
And Golden Gun.
The Golden Gun.
We played multiplayer.
We always played Complex and Man with the Golden Gun.
Or Proximity Mines.
Yeah.
Because Proxy, you get the nice assault rifle.
Bro, we had it memorized where you would spawn on and we just put proxies there tell me
we played did I am if I remember correctly I used to like I think at the
time I thought was hilarious like getting the star kill someone in the
stall yeah oh yeah complex there's yeah no no I know it might be called complex
I don't remember what it was but it's the one where it's the lap. Yeah, it might be called Complex. I don't remember what it was, but it's the one where,
it's in the movie where they actually launch GoldenEye the first time
and then they blow it up, the station,
that you can go through the bathrooms in there.
Right, yeah, yeah.
And through some of the vents.
Because I did want to bring this up because Dan Collins,
I hope you listen to this, man,
because I'm still 1-0 undefeated against you in that game.
Let's go.
And I beat him on that level with the golden gun,
because I was very cheap, because he's really good at the game,
and I just sat in the vent and waited for him.
Did you guys make it where you couldn't play as Oddjob?
Yes.
Because it was so little.
But if you went to the bottom, you went to Moonraker Elite number two,
it was also a tiny lady character who you could do Oddjob as well.
Sometimes Oddjob, though, if you pick the right character, like it was a headshot.
I don't remember which one.
But you would kneel.
That's why you always kneeled as odd job.
You were a little slower, but if you kneeled, you'd shoot over him every time.
Dude.
And then there was a female, female villain, right?
And there's one of the movies.
Xenia Onatop.
Xenia.
Yeah.
Is she in the game?
She made me like, as a kid, I was like, this is the hottest thing I've ever done. And in that movie is she in the game she made me like as a kid
I was like this is the hottest thing I've ever done
and in that movie where she killed guys during sex
in general
oh dude
and she would scream in pleasure
dude
I remember yeah when you're like
trying to like kill her during the game or whatever you're doing
I was like as like an 8 year old I was like this is the
horniest I've ever been
dude totally you have to kill her that's game or whatever you're doing i was like as like an eight-year-old i was like this is the horniest ever been dude totally you have to kill her beat off too that's
like oh that's huge being able to beat off is huge i remember this mom was watching me play a
like a game that will probably get mentioned coming up but it was a fighter game yeah and
i was playing as this hot girl and she just like suddenly she goes how's she supposed to fist
fight in those boots because she had like ridiculous stilettos on she remember looking at her name was dosi i was like what are you talking about oh training yeah i was like
she's hot it's a weapon exactly dude that's a really good number two maybe probably the most
yeah influential game in terms of setting the trajectory for everything it's huge dude dude
that game one time we went on a ski trip and there was this family called the
steeds that lived right below us and there was four brothers and i have three brothers so there
was four of us so thank you mom and dad for boning and creating perfect multiplayer numbers in my
family and the steeds had that but their parents didn't get them an n64 for christmas and we went
on a ski trip and we live with my grandma and those kids knew we had an n64 bro the whole time we're on a ski trip. We were just like we fucking can't wait to get back inside in game
We come back to we go in our house dude, and my grandma's a nice lady, bro
All fucking for those kids are over when we're not even home, dude. We didn't even invite them over
They came over and said can we play the Xbox game the n64 game?
My grandma's like sure whatever dude
They were there for hours making
themselves comfortable and shit in our house on our couch bro we walk in get the fuck out
the fuck out we're not taking turns dude brutal bro never hung out with your grandma again yeah
dude i kicked our that's why i was talking to my grandma yeah grandma get out do you remember those
games were so expensive too and they came out because i remember going over to target like the
first day.
Were they like 75 bucks a game or something like that?
I think so.
Probably. I think they were like 60 bucks.
Get a Rumble Pack, dude.
60 bucks.
Rumble Pack's sick.
Or you could get the Game Shark hooked up where you get all the cheats.
That was huge.
And then you can get the Walden PPK as a golden gun.
Which was so...
Yeah.
It was just a cartridge that you put in and you put the game into that one.
And you blow into it.
You're like, oh, it must have dust on it i miss doing that yeah that was why i so did you guys have you had n64 did
you have ps2 as well we were never a playstation or playstation we were we went it's so funny you
could like i'd be like the browning they're a playstation family yeah we were always like
uh anthony had Sega Genesis which we weren't no we were a nintendo family not a genesis I'd be like the Brownings. They're a PlayStation family. We were always like Super Nintendo.
Anthony had Sega Genesis, which we weren't.
No, we were a Nintendo family, not a Genesis family.
Super Nintendo.
I don't know many Sega people.
I had Sega.
You had Sonic on Sega.
That was like the big selling point there.
Madden.
I used to play Madden on Sega.
Well, speaking of which, what's your pick?
I don't know.
I'm not up yet.
Chris.
I'm also going to go with a shooter.
I'm going to go with Call of Duty 4, colon, Modern Warfare.
Nice.
Which I feel like really set it on this trajectory that we're experiencing now.
And you guys had great first-person shooter ones.
This was my next one.
I really wanted one in there.
And this one was a game changer.
I feel like it took another step up.
It was also so different from Halo, which was dominating at the time.
And one of the biggest, it had an amazing campaign that was pretty short
that also ended with a slow-mo.
The super badass commander slides you a pistol, and then it's slow-mo.
And you...
It's like such an epic ending to the game and the multiplayer was
amazing and one of the biggest things that i'd ever seen because i don't think any other video
game had ever done this you could shoot through walls yeah it was the first time where you could
wall bang and i remember that like it used to just be where like it would just be like a dead space
it felt like you were interacting with the world so much more and like it was just so fun felt like i was in like a
michael man movie because you could do that and it's yeah it set the tone it's great pick
all-time pick dude you guys have taken all my first person shooters that i love i'm already
creating myself a victim narrative here um you know i just bend things but i'm fired up i got a great hopefully first pick i'm real nervous
boys but i'm going with tony hawk pro skater it's a great pick it's a great pick oh no no need to
be nervous about that the soundtrack one or two one or two one or two i think i'm just gonna go to go number one um it's so fucking sick no it's great it's so sick but but i mean let you read some lists they'll tell you otherwise but
i don't want to get in any one of this is pics but i mean dude the soundtrack was so sick it's
a game unlike you know i love the camaraderie of a first person shooter talking shit to my brothers
and like playing multiplayer but tony hawk was a game that you popped in when you were on your own and you were immediately stoked it was unreal dude i'd play as bucky lasik
i'd cruise down i'd watch that intro skate video you know you get to go to sick places
and all the levels and stuff and just listen to some great ass music and it was just so much fun
like i would have never thought i'd like that game but it's so so rad. It's so sick. And it was a game where I utilized
like those little yellow buttons on the N64 controller
where I like never thought about using them,
but was hitting them
in sort of a seemingly intelligent manner
where like, you know,
like in any other game I ever played,
like I never memorized buttons to do moves.
I always just like smash it.
But in that game, I was like, okay, boom,
let me hit this button, hold this here. I could do it. The knowledge that grind i was like okay boom let me hit this button hold this here i could do
it the knowledge that grinds so sick so sick yeah i that that game that and gold knight just
changed my world i could play tony hawk for hours and dude the best thing i like the big combo
aspect of it i think a lot of people are on the skate side of things you know where it's much
more realistic it's hard to do an ollie.
It's hard to do an ollie. It's very satisfying
when you do a trick, but I like just
Tony Hawk where you're just doing, you're manualing
through the whole thing. Yeah, you circumnavigate San
Francisco in like two minutes. Yeah.
It's pretty cool. Break through windows and stuff
and like, you know,
obviously you can do that. Yeah,
you do spine transfers over
like skyscrapers
dude christ era was one of my favorite moves christ era dude i was never that good at it
i couldn't connect tricks that well the people who could manual really well yeah but that was
connect every trick yeah yeah that was a you had to be able to do that or you just put on perfect
grind which would also help with manuals it's so funny how many games would like cheats were just
like you just do it.
You just decide to play.
Because then you can get in competitions
where you're both at time trials
of who can rack up the most points with tricks.
You know what I mean?
And so a lot of times I feel like we would play
with just perfect grind on
just to make it easier and more fun.
It's one of those games too,
which I think is a big component for games
coming up probably in future picks, but also the ones that we talked about where it's a game where i would enjoy
watching someone who's good at it play yeah i had a buddy joey i'd be like i like way came up at a
sleepover and be like hey bro you should play i want to watch yeah and he'd be like dude you just
play i'm tired i'm like no no you're sick out of here like all right what about we should mention
this because everyone understands this in video games what about when you're stuck at a part in a video game bro and you can't get
past it and you got your friend with you he's a little better and he goes hey man just hand me
the controller real quick and then you'd always go bro i'm gonna give you my controller this is
josh panko you go i'm gonna give you the controller but dude don't keep playing takes the controller
two hours later you're like dude will you hand me that thing back please they just go on forever
just dominating the game.
No, no, hold on.
I got this.
I got this.
You can see them just lock in.
Yeah.
One time I woke up before anyone else did at the Panco's house, and I went to play Ninja
Gaiden, and he walked in right as I was booting up and was like, hey, this part's really hard.
Let me do it.
So before I even got to play, he like went to beat it for me
and then didn't give up the sticks for three hours.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, bro.
He gets past it and just keeps going.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
This isn't, this isn't.
And like, he didn't even take it.
Like, I didn't even have the chance
to not be good at the game.
He literally stopped.
He took it from me before I even played.
You gotta tell the story too,
because it's now making me think about
these marathon gaming sessions.
Tell the story about what happened in Nooch
after you guys did your LAN party.
Oh, we did a LAN fest where we went over
to Luke and Paul Connor's place
and we were playing mostly Battlefield 2.
Clay and I were playing Halo.
We never beat a checkpoint.
We played it literally all night.
And you guys just brought a bunch of systems. Clay and I were playing Halo. We never beat a checkpoint. We played it literally all night.
And you guys just brought a bunch of systems in.
We had two computers playing Battlefield 2 and then one Xbox.
Somebody was playing Game Boy in between, like playing Pokemon.
It was like five or six of us just hanging out.
Stayed up all night.
It was amazing.
It was the best.
And then, yeah, the next day day nucho didn't take a nap
went over to his girlfriends was driving home after that passed out at the wheel hit a tree
woke up in his car like it's like it hurts he's like he could barely breathe. He got out of the car, tries to wave down, tries to flag down a car.
They blow by him.
By this point, his Land Cruiser has a little fire on it.
What?
It was on Ortega.
And then finally, a second car pulled over, and they called an ambulance.
He knew one of the EMTs.
He cracked his sternum, was in the hospital for a bit.
That's why Euphoria is missing.
Euphoria is like, this is what happens when kids hang out.
They do meth and then one of the guys goes too far with the lady.
It's like, yeah, but sometimes kids just get fucked up from playing video games for too
straight days.
Dude, totally, bro.
Totally.
But yeah, that's our epic gaming story from Landfest.
Plus it all worked out because then he couldn't swim that season.
So then he came on a trip to the Bahamas with us.
Oh, let's go. Yeah. He was a beastamas with us oh let's go yeah he was a beast
on that trip too yeah he was a legend yeah he kept doing those i love you kept ripping jaeger shots
and he broke out into hives it was kind of my it was kind of my pushing but i kept he was like in
a real party mode and then it was one of those things where i was like well this is going to
be the excitement of the night is just watching nooch party so i was like dude every
time you take a shot eat a jalapeno i love jalapenos dude i'm the ager and he's just so he
did like he's also like 16 he's like guys i'm really heating up he takes his shirt off and
his whole body's in hives took him upstairs threw him in the bathtub threw him on the cold water
you're okay he's a tank
alright wait so who's up now
I got back
it's snakes right
yep
alright so here we go
this is tough
this is really tough
and
I'm nervous
I know dude I'm very nervous
but I'm gonna go with
and I don't know if it's the right
rendition of this game
but it's the one that
I fucking got the most stoked on
and love spending the most time
in that world
and it's GTA one that i fucking got the most stoked on and love spending the most time in that world and it's uh gta vice city oh damn it you've got a killer list right i know bro that was mine
bro the music again the music dude vice city was the best bro you're in miami dude yeah let's go
the outfits and then they got bigger afterwards and i don't think they all those open world games like vice
city was the perfect size yeah you need different parts of town but i don't need multiple states
san andreas i was like i don't want to go to nevada i'm chilling exactly i was reading some
lists and they're like oh san andreas you can tell the asphalt's worn the detail of the game
i'm like nah bro i don't give a fuck about that vice city's sick dude they got great music give
me the poor yeah I'm voting.
And the characters look cooler because they're all dressed in sick 80s
suits and shit like that. You can drive boats.
And it was also the first one. I feel like
I always give more credit to the games because they
just made more of an impact that stepped
up a level and Vice City
led to San Andreas or
whatever the next ones were, but that
one was the first step up
dude that's a fucking great pick man thank you dude and it's rare because i played on playstation
because i would go to my butt i didn't even have it yeah but i'd be so stoked it was this dude
brady i didn't even like him that much but i'm like bro we got fucking brady royer no no this
other brady because brady royer was a legend no brady's cool as fuck he's like a dude who i met
who was like immediately i was like he's cooler than me he was living the video game he didn't even play Vice City
he was like
I'm in Vice City
he literally did do it
yes
yeah
but yeah
I fucking love that game
stoked you guys are fired up on it
oh man
have approval of your bros
dude
the cultural impact of that one
I remember like
a late night show
that Tobey Maguire was on
and he was like
talking about playing Vice City
he's like
yeah you can like
you can get hookers
and then afterwards
that was kind of healthy for Tobey Maguire he's a night owl and like yeah you can get hookers and then afterward that was kind of
healthy for him he's a night owl well then and he's like and then afterwards you can beat him
up and take your money back i'm like everyone's like oh he's just like us dude i used to just go
that was also like i don't know if it ever got enough if it probably didn't deserve the heat
because i don't think the video games are responsible
But like that was like one of the most school shooter games ever to where I would just go on top of a building
Yeah, and see how long I could kill cops
you go into the strip club with the
Fucking the minigun and he just mow them all down. I was never that sick
You killed enough people would be like godfather yeah yeah yeah
like i rewarded you for that yeah did you have sex with them after uh no but i would you know
when my mom because i would play i would play in the kitchen when my mom would would you know
peace out to like walk the dog or something i'd go get a hooker and i'd just have a little boner
you know just like a little 12 year old boner and the car would just squeak yeah and i
was like that's what sex is dude they should have a game where you could go to a priest they should
and yeah repentance was like robbing seven liquor stores was that also the first one where you could
take your car i don't think it was the first one but i love that thing where you could take your
car into a car wash and get it painted and come out Yeah
San Andreas you could start lifting. That was really that was cool. Yeah, that's like increase your skills and stuff
So like yeah wrote a motorcycle a fuckload like you get hit by a car and your guy would stay on cuz you built up
So much you can never run the cops on a motorcycle because you just so he's
Beating and you'd have your garage with like all your cars picked out and you wanted to be like
well curated.
I was bummed out
when the black dude
who's your super sick partner
betrays you
about two thirds
of the way to the grave.
It's not a cool move.
I really liked that guy.
I was bummed.
Aaron, did you cream
during Vice City?
That's a big nod.
Aaron crammed
in a nice nod.
Definitely a post-not.
Aaron is changing
his shorts
as we speak, dude.
That was such a good one, man.
Thank you, thank you.
Yeah, your list is pretty unstoppable right now.
It's just a sick show list.
Motherfucker.
Yeah, you motherfucker, dude.
Your guys were my first two.
Those were my first two.
I know.
Really?
And then I got stuck with my third favorite first-person shooter.
And then he took that, which was going to be the only
open world game that I would have taken.
So I'm going to switch to sports.
Yeah, we're not Zelda guys here.
Sorry guys, there's not going to be any Zelda.
I'm not into like peaceful
video games.
Do a puzzle dude.
They're way too hard.
I'm out here to mow people down.
When I found out Zelda wasn't your character's name it's like no your character's link i was like i'm out dude
i feel fucking right too i found out in super smash brothers i was like why is the zelda
character named link yeah yeah yeah yeah that's how i found out you have to play zelda for like
50 hours before you get a fucking yeah i got shit to do yeah i got jacking off to get to nice dude um i'm gonna i'm gonna switch
to sports uh i'm gonna go ncaa football god damn oh yeah god damn it because it's better than madden
it is 2006 so it's funny about i looked it up dude and they're like a lot of a lot of things
online like oh six was the best i I'm like, which one was it?
Because the one that I liked the most was I just dominated with Virginia Tech
with Marcus Vick.
It had impact players.
He was one of them.
Darrell Tapp at defensive end.
Yeah, and then Jimmy Hall.
Jimmy something.
I was going to say Jimmy Williams.
It might be Jimmy Williams, that cornerback.
It had that toughest places to play.
It had a
fire soundtrack race for the heisen mode which i don't remember this but looking at a review they
were like um as you got better and you're like race to the heisen where you're a college player
the picture of your girlfriend like gets more attractive no way that's hilarious dynasty mode
you have to have that's why i don't pick earlier iterations of the game.
Yeah, you have to recruit.
It was so fun recruiting people.
You don't have to pick phone call or email.
You pick states of focus.
And we would always just go California, Texas, Florida.
Exactly.
And then you could build up to becoming a pipeline state.
And then if you had to create a guy, you could then import him into Madden.
No way.
And you could draft him.
It was sick.
That's unreal.
Keep going.
No, you got it, dude.
No, you go.
No, I think that was...
I mean, if you look at the soundtrack, it's like a really cool mismatch of rock songs and punk songs and hip hop.
Yeah.
And songs that I never would have listened to yeah and songs that i've just i never
would have listened to otherwise i've been introduced to music through the game and when
you're doing dynasty mode for 30 hours having a good soundtrack is everything totally because
you're just mindlessly just sitting there like i'm like clicking like yeah send an email to this fake
high schooler.
It's huge.
Dude, you know what?
And there's something that's interesting about Pars playing video games,
which I'll disclose now.
You guys play standing up.
Oh, yeah, that's how people get serious.
Because when I start the FIFA game, I'm always seated.
And then about halfway through, I stand up and get closer to the TV. And I think it's rooted because the way your bedroom was situated in the TV,
because it was optimal to stand.
It was right here.
So it was kind of like you wouldn't have to crank your neck as much
and you'd sit on the front of my bed.
Yes.
But standing was just better.
And we just kind of carried that over.
And if I beat you sitting down, that means I don't respect you.
Massive disrespect, dude.
Yeah.
But, dude, also, and here's the other reason I think NCAA football is better
than Madden, especially in that era, running quarterbacks.
There's no option packages in Madden.
But if you were playing NCAA, you could have like Vince Young, Marcus Vick.
Marcus Vick was amazing in that game.
He was better in the game than I think he was in real life.
And the greatest game that I ever had was against Robbie
where I ran the triple option or speed option every play.
And I never threw a pass with
Marcus Vick and I was just you were Belichick against him just against the Bills this year
oh it was so satisfying basically wildcat is that the team Robbie how was SC that and that was like
Reggie Bush was you yeah that was gonna say but I didn't like playing with them because
Leinart was a statue back there yeah because that. Because that was the fun part about NCAA that mattered.
Because it was the difference between college and the pros.
They didn't have options in the playbook.
There was Michael Vick.
And the option playbook in NCAA was insane.
That's awesome.
It was so fun.
Did you yell at each other if you looked at someone picking your play?
No, I never had a problem with that.
No.
People would be like, you're looking at my screen or you're like looking at my play.
I'm like, well, you can do that to me.
But I know other houses had different rules.
Well, cause I would do that.
That's how I would snipe people within the tank in Halo.
Oh yeah.
Screen watching and that is like, bro, everyone's screen watching.
But some people complain about that.
Some people are like, don't screen watch.
You're like, bro, what am I supposed to do?
It's all on the screen.
It's equal opportunity.
Exactly.
Sorry that my brain is high functioning, dude. and I'm fucking knowing where you're at.
And if you want to do it, bring over an Xbox next time and play in the other room and we'll link the Xboxes.
But we never, nobody's actually going to do that because it's too much work.
No, you want to be close to someone too.
Yeah.
Chad.
My pick?
Mm-hmm.
This is a tough one.
my pick this is a tough one because i'm i'm i'm like sort of staying within the same console right now but i feel like i gotta snag this one up and then before i pivot so i'm gonna go with mario
kart oh dude all-time game yeah all-time game i mean two i meantime game, dude. I mean, two, I mean, GoldenEye and Mario Kart, two of the most, you know, pivotal games
of my young childhood.
Both fun times.
The thing I like about these games is, like, the simplicity of them.
Which is why in, like, my high school and college years, I kind of fell out of video
games because I'm like, you know, they were just getting too complicated.
And I'm like, I don't want to apply this much time to figuring this shit out there's too many and mario kart which is very
simple you go shoot fucking shells and you're racing and then you know uh and it still holds
up like i we can play it i could play it i guess you know mario tennis probably i could play more
in the writer's room yeah but it's so fun but like mario kart you tell you ask anyone if you want to play
mario kart they're down and it's a good party game too so like you could play drunk driving
which is my favorite which is where you you have to chug a beer before the race ends so it's like
what do you do do you chug at the beginning Do you chug at the end? Do you chug throughout?
After each lap.
Right.
A lot of times you get hit by a shell and you'll see people scrambling for their can.
Right, right.
It's so fun.
It's also a great game.
Speaking of everyone being able to play, and I got to say this, I was playing a lot in college before I met Mike Calise.
And I'll tell you right now, led to some macking and cheesing.
You're playing with the ladies.
Oh, for real?
The ladies like to play
how do you parlay that let me tell you every party dude i'd switch on kings of leon
what's on closer sex is i'm putting on sex on fire and then i'm going who wants to play mario
kart uh yeah dude already on this yeah i'm having a good time i got fucking i'm wearing a button
down shirt buttons are loose buzz is on you had that obi-wan kenobi haircut with the one long strand i did
have yeah i had a fucking real padawan learner's braid and i fucking sit down and we'd play and
we played the the level that had koopa trippa beach because you get so stoked immediately i
think that's what flower cup yep and you'd play that and it was so sick and everyone loved it the shortcut is not too crazy
never let them win
the shortcut is the best too
I play Mario
visiting you
bro we have a great story about this
you've seen my setup bro where I put on Kingsland
I just want to say for the record
there were no chicks there
there were no
actually no one chick came in but she was not available because There were no chicks there. Actually, no.
One chick came in, dude.
But she was not available because Chris and I finished nice
macking out. We picked up a 20 rack
long neck course in the bottle.
Fucking sit them on the coffee table.
Baby, me, Chris, and Nens were just
playing some three player, hanging out, seeing where the night's
going to take us. Ended up going to Cheetah's.
Nice little gentleman's establishment before I rolled through.
Anyway, because he was going to a lot of
strip clubs at that time. Sad guy.
Happy guy now. Father, congrats.
That's right. Great guy.
Love him. Definitely a phase.
But the best part of that night
Chris is referencing is my roommate
at the time comes in. He's
fucking hammered. And he comes in and
slams himself against the wall
he's like all crying and then what is what does his girlfriend say to him well he he called his
current girlfriend by his ex-girlfriend's name yes and we could hear it and he's sitting in the
hallway which is 15 feet away yeah then you'd hear a smack and she goes what did you call me
say my name say my name what did you call me say my name say my name
what did you call me and he's just like
and like spills out onto the front lawn and she's like babe i'm sorry
and she just kept repeating say my name it was amazing i think she called him a bitch dude like
it was really it was aggressive she goes you bitch say my name you little bitch what are you
crying for i'm sorry babe I'm sorry she slapped him
and we're all just like
he was like
he was in a frat
right
and he was like
it was like rush week
and he got too drunk
trying to make
the noobs drink
yeah yeah exactly
he got too hammered
and let one slip
yeah and we were just
yeah we're all
playing with it
I think Mario Kart 2
it has
it's like based off that story I think it's 2 it has it's
like
based off that story
I think it's the best game
to play
drunk
after a party
or something like that
it's the ultimate
come home from a party
let's throw on Mario Kart game
it's a good
good qualification
I uh
alright I got two picks now
and uh
I want an NCAA football
and I have to get a sports game
in here,
but before I do that,
I'm going with the first arcade game.
I'm going Time Crisis.
Oh, dude.
Fuck.
Such an epic game.
Time Crisis 2, I think, is the best one.
Yeah.
God, what made it great was,
there's good shooter games,
like Police Academy is a really fun shooter game.
There's like that Of the Dead one.
There's a bunch of good iterations.
Of the Dead, yeah.
They were all pretty similar, but what separated Time Crisis crisis was for one thing it had the the paddle so to shoot
to get out of like a protected uh position you had to press down on the paddle which was sick
it looked really cool it was really the shots corresponded well on the screen which was always
kind of annoying with other games and then the best fucking thing about it was that it the the chamber would slide
after each shot which just made it so much realer it was a good weight to the gun yes some of those
weight some of the guns were too light and when time crisis was and the worst fucking feel in the
world is when you would get to dave and busters you would be lining for time crisis and you'd see
two bros already on oh yeah you knew they were gonna be there for a while the whole time you knew they were gonna be there for hours and then you just kind of mosey around and
just wait but when i was on that thing it was such a fun game and uh it was good good world inside of
it like pretty good villain stuff but really it was just the mechanics of the gun and the press
down pedal that separated it's great team game like that's what's nice about halo like even the
first one you can play campaign together.
And then in this one, you could play with your boys.
Then they show the comparison to see who scored more.
So it's still competitive, but you're working as a team.
I'm so mad that you took this one.
I thought I would get it with the last pick.
The thing about it, too, is it made you feel like a badass.
It made you feel like you are a well trained
Navy SEAL shooter
Because when you do the duck
And then you come out
You just naturally bring the gun up
And then duck back down
I was like I feel like
I think I can do this
I sweat my legs
My knee would get sore
You felt tactical
You had to move with it you're sipping a cherry coke dude it would still get to
sometimes like you'd think you were behind it and then it would hit you and you'd be like no i
fucking dodged i was off like yeah more quarters yeah oh dude are you kidding me just a fucking
fresh stack of just a 10 rack of quarters the run to the like if you're playing with someone and then
they get hit like we need more quarters and the dash with the countdown going on and that's the
quarters now everybody does the card system right yeah what about tokens what about when you get to
a place and they're like you got to get like 600 of our tokens yeah i said that was my pants oh
yeah i was gonna say you gotta tell this story dude I think I've told it before, but I was playing
maybe a game that could get mentioned. I was playing
the X-Men
arcade game, which was dope.
And I had to shit, and I just
would not leave the video
game because I was crushing it.
So finally, I'm at the point of no return. I go up to
the front desk, and I go, hey, I really got to go to the
bathroom. They had a key, so they're like, give me the key.
I run back to the other side. There's, hey, I really got to go to the bathroom. They had a key. So they're like, give me the key. I run back to the other side.
There's a guy in front of me and he gets into the bathroom.
He's got his kid with him.
I go, hey, let me in the bathroom with you guys.
He goes, no, no, I got it.
I got it.
Closes the door on me.
And at this point, I'm like, I'm fucked.
So I'm just sitting there like shaking.
My eyes start to water up because I know it's coming.
I'm like, I'm going to shit my pants in nickel nickel.
I'm going to shit my pants.
Come on, man.
Open the door. Guy takes like five minutes. Op in nickel nickel. I'm going to shit my pants. Come on, man. Open the door.
Guy takes like five minutes.
Opens the door.
I come in.
There's three stalls there.
Like he had no reason to box me out.
What an asshole, dude.
It really called me.
And you're a kid.
It's not like you're going to do anything weird with this kid.
No, yeah.
You were a fucking kid.
You were like third, fourth grade?
I was like, yeah.
We had moved.
So I was above nine.
I was like nine or ten.
And then I get in there.
I pull down my pants.
And I came so close to making it.
When I pull my pants down, I just drop three, like, they dropped like pies.
I dropped just three loads of shit straight into my jeans.
And straight down my legs.
And now I'm in the stall and i'm just
bawling and i'm like i'm like yo i'm so fucked dude i have no idea what to do i have no idea
what to do i'm just crying my eyes out we're at like a birthday party with my dad's oh my god
kid so the bathroom it's probably 100 yards to the exit. Yeah, something like that. I open the door,
pants down, boxers around my ankles,
cover my dick,
and I waddle sprint
from the back of the place out the front. Not that
many people notice. I'm outside crying.
My dad comes outside. He's like,
I'm like huddled in a corner
behind a trash can. He's like, JT, what the fuck
happened? Did someone hurt you? And I go,
dude, I shit my pants. And he goes, alright, I'm going to get Chris the fuck happened someone someone hurt you and I go okay Chris I was in the middle of a game he's like Chris we have to go
right now you know I we just go outside.
No, no, you forget the part Deco's like,
Oh, I'm sorry.
You're like, I don't want to leave.
And then Deco's,
Chitty shit pants.
And then you turn,
and you instantly understand,
we got to get the hell out of here.
We got to get out.
We got to go home. I forgot about that. me my dad made me he wouldn't let me sit on the seat on the seat so i had my hands
on the the like the little laundry handle the dry cleaning handle there and i held my ass above the
seat for the 20 minutes i remember like a oh maybe i'm misremembering this. Like a plastic bag or something.
Yeah, we might have laced the car too.
It was pretty hilarious.
And dad was always so nice about that.
So he's like, look, I've shit my pants before.
Yeah, he just goes, look, I shit my pants at the fair once.
And we all got a good laugh about it.
It was really sweet.
And then we got away with it basically scoff-free.
But the birthday kid, I I guess later he's like
yeah Lebo called that was when my dad called his buddy
he goes Lebo called I guess Jordan mentioned
that someone had shit the bathroom but I think we're
in the clear
alright my next pick
that's amazing
I got techie
okay I was gonna go sports game but I feel safe
that I'll get my sports games coming around the other way
cause y'all already have a couple.
No, this is it for you.
No, it's my third pick.
Okay, good call.
So it's going to come.
Oh, baby.
Okay, okay.
Gamesmanship.
I see a little desire in your eyes.
All right, I'm going to go computer game here.
Whoa.
And I'm going to go Command and Conquer.
Fuck.
Oh, fuck.
And I think I'm going to go.
I was.
Red Alert, Command and Conquer.
I was thinking Tiberian Sun, but I'm going to go Red Alert. Red Alert was. was I was thinking Tiberian Sun but I'm gonna go red alert
Red alert was well, what's Tiberians? It was the one before the fuck
It was the one before and it was dope but red alert did it
Elevated the visuals enough and I wasn't as good at it
And I didn't like the world as much like a Tiberian Sun was a sci-fi world
It was such as alien shit, but red alert was like human human yeah but still red
alert was the dopest i loved it and uh what is that kind of game called an mmorpg is that what
that is it's called a third person strategy game uh that's why you're here dude bro that's why
you're here bro i nailed that shit bro sorry i hit you hard there no um yeah we're fired up and
then but yeah that was a dope game i love that style of game where you gotta be quick with
building stuff and i was never the best at him but i love that strategy like okay you gotta build the barracks
okay now i'm gonna build like the wheat uh your refinery yeah and then or bro that's where i learned
the term or and yeah my favorite characters were always you could get like a super soldier character
and they actually weren't that effective like you wish that they could take on like a battalion of
tanks but when they would win when they would go up against like an infantry unit it was the sickest fucking thing to watch the thing about that though is they could
level up so like if you got them to like the max level they could destroy tanya and they had a lot
of yeah and they had a lot of at least in other ones i don't remember enough about red alert but
they had like specialties yes you know what i mean like explosives there was another guy that
was like a british ops who's like for king and country and he'd go in and like
have like cool dude yeah it was so sick yeah you'd like you'd you'd send them in infiltration
missions to another base yeah dude when you'd have to like discover the world like you said
when the sacrificial tank when the map would because you'd be looking at a black map yeah
you'd go dude go get a tank and you'd see that and like you'd discover the other base early on you'd be like fuck yeah and then you could throw in a strike and then you
could do like a thunderstorm or something yeah they had like tesla coils um yeah the nuke was
like in red alert the nuke was like yeah i think you just won yeah if you did the nuke it's like
they had like an ion cannon or something just like the obelisk and Tiberian Sun I always get fired up when I got that
You remember the obelisk?
You just put two obelisks up at the front of your base
And they come and just start zapping
Oh yeah
I'll post that to watch
Oh yeah
Dude like the armadillo thing
Or whatever the thing that would go underground
And then when they come up
in your base and it just like starts digging through the ground you're like oh fuck dude
and you feel like a real mayor you're like i gotta save my city yeah you can be looking like
you could be you can only see so much on your screen so you could be like following your troops
as they're making their way along to theirs and then you see like like red stuff on the
on the mini map oh my god and you click back yeah and your base is just there's people in the middle
oh dude i know you'd be attacking so yeah you'd have to have d it's strategy bro you have your
defense sometimes you wouldn't want to attack because you're like my base is so fucking sick
i'm so fortified yeah yeah dude i would always play as korea they had the best jets because you
could pick a country and i'd be like dude korea has the sickest jets. That's tight. So sick.
I don't remember. I know
which one. Man and Conqueror?
Yeah, it's great. Red Alert.
I remember Red Alert being better, but I just don't remember
it as well as
the Tiberian Sun.
Tiberian Sun was probably
I spent more time playing, honestly,
but I just think Red Alert
just wants to take it a ticket from it was better
Yeah, gameplay. Also. I remember being like five
That was one of the first games where I saw someone play against someone else remotely
Like what I earlier iterations going to conquer like I remember we were at Ian's and he's like, oh I'm playing my buddy
JP and they were talking shit over text and I was like, this is insane. Yeah, he's not at your crib and y'all are
Crazy cuz I didn't figure that out until like a couple years ago like right i didn't really play like playing online was just a pain i've
never had a headset until like warzone yeah yeah same there did i chat did i you're up dude all
right number three uh i gotta go with this because this was like my life growing up Tony Hawk 2 yeah that's why
you asked yeah yeah yeah I have to because I mean dude the school level oh
that was sick school level was sick you ring that all you grind that Bell dude
like talk to I forgot about all the challenges that they had on levels all
the challenges you get secret videotapes.
That was like when you're making your own skate tape, you know?
And then where's the levels?
Venice was a sick-ass level.
I liked that.
Venice is super sick. You can do spray painting and shit.
Yeah, and then France is like Marseille or something,
and it's like a sick little skate park.
And then you go to...
Then you go to Spain.
Do you go to Barcelona?
I don't know.
I think in two you go to New York,
Philly.
No, maybe Philly is one.
Chicago. You go to Chicago.
It's a sick warehouse.
Venice was always really sick.
But school is just iconic.
And everyone was just like, where is the real school?
I don't know where it is. I think it's in LA.
Is it Hollywood High?
Maybe.
I think it's supposed to be Hollywood High it Hollywood High? Maybe. That sounds right.
I think it's supposed to be Hollywood High.
Did we talk to Tony Hawk about that?
Or like he had input on the levels, right?
He did.
I don't remember.
I can't remember either.
Yeah.
But man, Tony Hawk 2.
It's the best.
Okay, so a little gamesmanship here.
Yeah.
To boost your list.
Yeah.
Because I do think that was a really smart pick too.
Because it kind of equals things out.
Yeah.
Is there components to 2 that make it better than one components i think uh what did they add the graphics are a
little better you could play it on dreamcast which was sick the soundtrack in my opinion
yeah um you could play the game skate in it which you couldn't do in other games. Oh, that's... Against other characters.
And you could change what Skate was.
I remember we were at like a...
Yeah, bitch.
Under 18 club and the guys were like, you're a bitch.
Yeah.
And I was like, none of us are dancing with girls right now.
I think they had a wider array of tricks you could do.
I think that's when you could do Cry Stare and stuff like that.
Who'd you play as?
Dude, I would do Kareem Campbell a lot.
Oh, yeah.
He was the coolest, right?
He was the coolest.
Rodney Mullen was good, too.
Yeah, he's tight.
Yeah.
What else did they have?
I think they just had more iconic levels.
I think they really leveled up the, you know,
the levels were way more advanced and way better.
It was like a way better design.
Nice. Yeah. Chris. were way more advanced and way better it was like a way better design nice
yeah
Chris
I'm gonna go with
an RPG
that was on computer
but I played on an Xbox
and that's
Knights of the Old Republic
I knew you were gonna do this
yeah
it's one of my favorite games
of all time
it's a Star Wars game
it's one where you could like
choose
light or dark side
and it was just
I mean it was a huge game
most of these games I couldn't really get into
I didn't really enjoy it until I bought the strategy
guide which look for me
that's what I needed to do in these games
okay it was just too much to figure out
it was such a big complex
and we played it one time
and we couldn't we would do evil things
but then we'd do
light side things
and we ended up
not being able
to beat the game
because we,
at the end of the day,
there's kind of like
a fateful decision
where you can choose
light or dark side
and we went light
but our guy was like,
there's basically a bar
and you see how light
or dark they are
and we were like
right in the middle.
That sounds like our family.
And we, our character wasn't good enough to win and i didn't end up go i took like three years
off and then i ended up playing it again and like beat it both ways it was such a fun game i love
star wars you get to trick out your lightsabers you build on a crew you have other jedis who
you're fighting with and just like the storyline was amazing
bastilla she's like one of the coolest jedis ever double double-bladed yellow lightsaber
fucking rips very hot your character ends up having a crazy backstory that you don't even
know about and you discover it's one of my favorite games and i feel like that's like a game
where like i would just lost myself in it where i was just one time a friend was like hey man i really want to like you want to hang out
and i was like sorry dude i'm playing a nice little it's like no it's cool man i'll just roll
over i'm like i'm just you're just gonna watch me play and he's like no no no and then he comes
over he watched me playing for like three hours and was like I didn't really think, I thought once I came over you would stop playing.
I told you.
I was like, I never.
I got it, dude.
Later.
That's both a pro and con for that game,
that it is completely a solo endeavor.
Oh, yeah.
You can get lost in it, yeah.
But it's not like you're going to talk shit to your buddy playing it.
No, no, no.
And that's what NCAA is for.
That's what even Call of Duty is for. And it's honestly one of the only games where I feel like I did that. Because for the rest of them, I feel like it's much more communal experience for me. But this one was one where I was just fucking locked in and just had the best fucking time. And he travels to so many different planets takes place like thousands of years before any
of the movies and i just loved it do you do you have lightsabers yeah and you can trick them out
like really you like discover rocks yeah different crystals that you can put into the lightsaber
the the premiere of last season of mandalorian where they fight a crate dragon yeah that's like
that's inspired by one in one of the levels levels, you kill a Krayt Dragon.
And like the pearl that you get from it, like beefs up your lightsaber.
Like it's one of the best ones you can put in your lightsaber.
You can change the color of it, which is cool.
You learn about the different Jedi classes.
It was, I just nerded out so hard on it.
I fucking loved it.
It was the best.
Is there anything better than just like pausing that game, crushing some dank ass food,
than just going back to playing that game? It's the best do anything better than just like pause in that game crushing some dank ass food and just going back to playing that game i i would joke about it because like i just sat in my
room like not showering playing the game to where like i associated like my balls smelling poorly
with the game then if they ever like if i like had my fingers away yeah it's knights of the
republic all right dude there's like that's really funny too where you orient your day around like because when we
had there was an arcade called howie's where you could play computer games and we would spend 12
hours a day there and i remember they had a gym at the same mall and they also had an island's
burgers and i would go to island's burgers go back and play for three more hours go to the gym
come back and play for three more hours then go to islands again and then play for three more and at first how he was open 24 hours
and then they make you be above 18 to stay there so like finally 16 year olds had a place to go at
like three in the morning and you could just play oh bro all day pass he was 16 bucks and i told
this story before those those redheaded gangbanger guys whose dad got arrested at a lily game one
time they got beat at a land league game one time. They got beat
on a
land game at Howie's, you know, playing a bunch of guys
there. And they went outside
and waited for the other kids to
come out so they could beat the shit out of them. But it was open
24 hours. So it was like literally a siege.
They just waited outside
and they had the
washers on cars. They ripped them off cars
and were going to whip the kids. Oh, the windshield wipers.
The windshield wipers.
And the kids tried to stay in Howie's as long as they could,
drinking Monsters and eating pizza.
They were literally yelling out the door.
They were like, we'll stay here all day.
But finally, after 16 hours, they were like, all right, we've got to go home.
They just went outside and these kids beat the shit out of them.
It's amazing, dude.
All right, let's just go get our asses beat.
Yeah, they were like,'re like I gotta go home
alright
it's always funny
in a situation like that
too you could call
your parents
but you feel
cause then you're
really gonna get
a lot of shit
for like
you called your mom
you called your mom
and dad
you get beat up again
and these kids
were such psychos
I think there was
also a legit fear
that like
these kids don't
have anyone to answer to
they might actually escalate and like go harder because you did that or they might beat
up our dad oh that's what Orange County gangs do they beat up your dads yeah that's what they do
shout out to Howie's though it was like heaven oh bro yeah striding two picks all right this
is gonna be tough it's gonna be my whole list. Or one pick.
No, you only have one pick.
No, no.
It's just snaked.
Oh, because you had two the first time.
Sorry.
So it is nuts all gravy, baby.
It's tough.
There are ones on this list that I've written down that are probably stronger,
but this is a game that speaks to my heart.
And I'm considering Tony Hawk Pro Skater as my sports game
because I kind of want to throw on on there right now.
But I'm going to throw on and I don't know what type of game it's called, but it's like
where it's two player and it's two fighters going at each other.
It's going to be that.
Yeah, fighting game.
We need that.
It's a fighting game.
You don't.
I know it's not going to be the one you're thinking and I might get flack for this, but
I fuck shit up.
It's what I do.
It's on Dreamcast.
No, this is the right pick. And it's Soul Cal it's on dreamcast no this is the right soul caliber oh
no not the right what is it soul caliber it's it's basically and i won't say like other games
oh it won't say what other games it's like because you guys still might take it but you get a
character the finishing moves are sick as fuck it was another game where i actually would memorize
buttons to hit to do different moves i'd play as fucking Yoshimitsu he was badass there was this character Vegeta who looked like he had a very avant-garde
sex and had like a cool outfit on and like these three pronged tears and it was some of the best
memories playing that game because and that's why I chose this personal there are better fighter
games out there I will admit that but this game is very dank and it does hold its own and it does
make a lot of top lists um but dude it would be my friend would be having a sleepover my brother's friend would have a
sleepover my other brother's friend would have a sleepover and we'd all fucking get a rotation
going because it was only two players like the winner would stay on and fucking play as like
the character and we'd be like dude you need to fucking switch characters but we'll beat me then
dude so it'd be that type of shit and it was just great it's so fun so competitive and the characters are really fun hot sexy characters in it hot sexy
characters that you would jack off to in this game and yeah really gaming awakened me sexuality and a
violent side and cleared the hopper to make just make me a better guy in my real life i like that
you went with your heart on this one because there was a lot more like name recognition ones that you could have rolled with yes that are probably better and and more mainstream
and other dudes could be like well this movie they really started the finishing move or something but
this did have sick finishing moves sick graphics where you could really disrespect someone in a
lot of fun yeah i think you're gonna be rewarded for that pic thank you aaron did you cream aaron might not even know what it is you
know did you cream at his description thank you thank you dude aaron creamed again good rebound
right here buddy only about one change of shorts looks like he's pulling a jt on the drive home
just fucking uh oh aaron you shit your pants on that one you didn't shit your pants you shit in my pants
into your pants
direct shot
shit in my pants
here we go
I want it red alert for this pick
you made a mistake
you made a mistake like five days ago
when we were talking about this draft
you mentioned it and so I knew I had to get to it early
fuck
it's a game that I've spent a lot of hours when we were talking about this draft. I brought it up. You mentioned it, and so I knew I had to get to it early. Fuck.
Because it's one of my all... It's a game that I've spent a lot of hours playing,
and I spent a lot of hours playing
all the games I've mentioned.
This last pick...
I haven't done an arcade game,
but I don't know if I'm going to,
and I don't have a first-person shooter on here,
and I think you have to have a first-person shooter.
And all the best ones are taken.
I could get technical and go with the very first-person shooter I ever made,
which was on PC, but I'm not going to do that.
Doom?
Yep, which was Doom, which could have been someone's list.
Amazing game.
Yeah, but it wasn't on mine.
Yeah, Doom 83.
This was a game that I played with my brothers, and it was amazing.
My brother Andrew would control where we went,
so he was the oldest brother, and he would make the moves.
My brother Greg would shoot, and I would just open doors with a little space bar,
so it was all on PC.
Oh, you had multiple hands on the keyboard?
Yep.
I forgot about that.
That was the shit, dude.
And we'd share the keyboard together and make it better,
and that's Wolfenstein, which is a sick fucking game.
There's other iterations of it, and I love World War II and you're in Castle Wolfenstein and it also uncovers
like zombie shit you get into that later which is like huge for gaming so it was revolutionary
in that regard and it's fucking badass also my brother's made up a myth because like you like
wake up from a prison cell as your character and there's a dead Nazi in there and my brother's
lied and they're like,
dad was so good at this game that he shot that character in the belly button,
so it's always dead.
And I believed it.
I was like, my dad must be good.
Dude, it was on a floppy disk, bro.
We put it in, we found it,
so we broke the rules to play that game,
and we put it in, play, it was amazing.
That's funny too.
I've never heard of that game really.
It's sick.
It's not on any lists.
I think trickery from older people in video games,
we used to play Madden.
It was one of the first ones that had like create a player.
And we'd play our older friend Ian and his buddy JP and Dustin.
And they did this fucking mean ass trick to us
where Ian's last name was Shroth.
And all of a sudden the Vikings have this backup running back when they play as the Vikings.
You can't stop.
Whose name looks like Shroth.
But we didn't even clock him.
And they just kept going, yeah, they got this backup running back named Scroth.
And they'd laugh at us when we'd call him Scroth.
We'd be like, God, why can't we stop Scroth?
And it was a created player that they were just destroying us with.
Yeah, bitches. I didn't know JP's last name was Cook,
but they created a sick-ass linebacker also on the Vikings named JP Cook.
Who would just destroy it.
Who would just, and like, this guy's making plays everywhere.
I'm like, yeah, this Cook guy is crazy, right?
It kind of made sense, too, because there was this white dude, Tim Dwight,
who played for the Falcons that had, like, 99 speed,
and we had friends who would put him at quarterback for the Falcons and just run like QB runs with them.
And so I thought there was like backups who were just beasts that just snuck in.
But they were just being older guys and just fucking with us.
Dude, that's really funny.
And also, I don't know where to say this, but I want to say it now.
Because I forgot to bring it up during the Halo talk.
Do you remember what you would always say during Halo?
Because you were dominant at Halo 1.
Thank you, dude.
And then you were kind of...
That's not good.
You didn't have Halo 2 or whatever.
You were kind of mediocre at it.
And you'd be getting your ass rocked in Halo 2.
What would you always say?
Let's play Halo 1.
Let's fucking play Halo 1.
They go, shut up, dude.
We're over that game.
It's done, dude.
Play Halo 1.
Strider would get killed and go,
beat me in Halo 1.
It'd come out like 10 years earlier.
We're like, dude, no one plays it anymore.
Dude, my brother
beat my ass in that game he was probably always better than me this is so funny and and he beat
me him and his buddy aiden were over and he beat me and brooks and uh when they beat us i fucking
pinned my little brother and i go say you got lucky admit you got lucky dude admit that you
got lucky and he's like no i'm just better than you i go fucking admit that you got lucky dude i'm not letting you up and like he wouldn't he wouldn't uh say it and i'm like you did this i
was really into that boxing game because i love boxing and you beat my ass every time we played
no it's just the one time dude i'm telling you you were jeff lacey and i was roy jones and i
just kept hitting the special punch button and it was just a broken part of the game because i just landed it
every it just kept landing and you would just like just do this is stupid you know i'm better than
you and i just cheated i was only throwing a certain punch a jab but then i got disqualified
from the game for stalling in the fight and so i started yelling my brother go admit the game
fucked up and then i was beating your ass and then he go I'm not saying that
and we always put video games in your room
you start ushering me out the door
I go admit it admit it
and then as you close the door on me
you go hey man keep practicing
dude and then you locked the door on me
and I was literally like
you would do some
I mean do you remember your
well what did you call it dude
where you would did you call it, dude?
Where you would just, you created it against Jason Pankow.
You were playing like 2K or NBA Live. NBA 2K, yeah.
And you were down big.
So every time he had the ball, you would just hit start.
I called it the slow motion defense.
I would just hit start nonstop.
So it made the game like insufferable to play.
But I actually was good at it.
Well, he'd go on runs.
No, bro.
And so I picked up like 14 points.
Oh, bro.
The thing is, I do give us both credit for this.
And it goes back to hiding in the cave and just being like, come get us.
Yeah.
A lot of times when you're playing against your friends, patience.
Oh, 100%.
If you can have insane patience and just wait for them to just lose their mind, you know what I mean?
That's like taking it to like another degree.
When you can't beat the game, you got to beat the player.
Exactly.
Right.
And like, it just goes like, you had that in you where you're like, I could just sit here.
I'll torture you. I don't need to come after you. You're like, I could just sit here. I'll torture you.
I don't need to come after you.
You're going to come after me.
You'll break before I break.
Totally.
Just another thing to have in the arsenal.
It was like straight up Gitmo strat to win a game.
I was straight up like, bro,
I'm just going to fucking torture your brain for an hour.
Do you want to suffer through that?
And he was like, no, I quit.
I went, okay, that's a dub.
That's a dub. Do you know what's always fun too is then it's like well before we quit admit that
you lost this game because i'll all hit quit but i don't want you to say that i quit so i need you
to admit that you lost the game and then you can say no i'm not saying that and then it's like well
i'm not quitting so we'll keep playing he's like, no, let's run it back.
No, like, so you quit.
Just restart the game.
When you rage quit too, you didn't a lot.
But when I'd be mad and I'd just shut the game off and walk out.
That feels so good for the guy who makes you do that.
Oh, yeah.
They're just sitting there just like smirking.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you want to play again?
You want another one, dude? That's funny too because i would get mad at you for not talking shit you just sit there quietly
and beat my ass by 50 in ncaa football and be like are you gonna talk some shit and you'd be
like no i'm good man and i'd like say something so i just wanted any reason yeah yeah all right
you're up i don't know what to do here because oh man i feel like my picks maybe i should have gone halo 2 instead of call of duty
4 take up with your heart well i really wanted time crisis as my last one i don't think i want
to go with the game boy game that's a good list um and then i feel like the you know what and i
don't know which i'm gonna go fifa, yeah. Which one do I go with?
Because the one that got me into FIFA was World Cup.
Was World Cup 2006.
That's my favorite one.
Which was amazing.
And that was what I was going to pick as it.
But we've also had so much fun playing two-on-two
that I pick a more recent version.
I would pick a more recent version.
That was the one that got us into it
and it was a dope game
and it had the through ball on it.
But I do think there was only like
four ways to score in that game
and you could figure that out pretty quick.
Whereas with the newer FIFAs,
it was,
there's like a million ways to score
and there's a lot more creativity in it.
So what do you think,
like what,
like 14, 15?
At that point, it's kind of like they're
all the same yeah 17 is like the same yeah so i'm just gonna say fifa like the last like five years
if that's okay yeah you can do that baby that's great um which like the most one-on-one it's
amazing but also going like when you're playing with another person yeah it's just like it opens up what you can do like give
and goes it's so fun making noises to like tell somebody to play in over the top it's a love
trevor does also just goes and that just means just run them dude just freaking just just send
it and we're just running um we've had so many epic, because we play a lot of Joes,
just two on two, so much shit talking,
and the swings in that game.
Yes.
It's so fun.
It's maybe the best sports game.
It's fun being dialed with your partner in that one,
more so than Madden or anything.
Yeah, because Madden, you can't really do it.
The basketball games, I think it's just kind of of hard you just kind of get in your way yeah it's
the only sports game where you can in my opinion where you can really play two on two and yeah if
you're vibing with somebody and you're freaking on dude and you just like see it as it's happening
and you just put them through and then the guy finishes or your team's doing bad and then your
partner just freaking
pulls a rabbit out the hat
and just smokes one.
Oh, bro.
Let's go.
I mean, it's just
so much fun.
Anyway, yeah,
when you come back
you go,
fuck you, kid.
Like in the 91st minute,
send it to OT.
Yeah, you get to hear
Strider blame the computer.
Oh, and then PKs.
Computer fucks me, dude.
I don't know what that is,
but the computer
fucks me a lot, dude.
And then PKs in that game
can be so hard.
Oh, yeah, dude, yes. You can definitely, yeah yeah that's the thing iterations of the game like they always change pks a little bit
and they get like so much harder and like so much more intense we had to make a rule where i was so
bad because joe was really good joe was like the best you're probably the best but then joe was
good now i think i'm probably the worst next time don't say thats me. So I'd get like matched up with Joe
and then I would just have him hit my penalty
kicks but then I was getting a little better
and games were close and they'd go, no dude, you gotta
fucking shoot your own penalty kicks now.
Respect.
Dude, that game was the best.
Chad, what's your pick?
Yeah, what's your pick?
My pick...
I'm surprised this one hasn't been on any lists war zone i was gonna
pick that you just fucked my whole list i was gonna do two shooters yeah god damn it that's
such a good pick war zone battle royale gotta bring it to modern day i was doing my childhood
stuff genius and now i had a big uh you know, hiatus from video games, probably from about 2006, 7 to 2020.
I didn't play at all.
And then Warzone came out, pandemic hit.
I was like, I'm back in it.
Although I would play GTA, which I am bummed to not have on my list.
And I was thinking aboutta 3 because that's
that's kind of like i mean gta 2 have you guys played that dog city was the first one i ever
played really yeah dude gta 3 was sick um but city was three dude warzone that was new york
it's such a strong pig i mean warzone battle royale i mean online mode i know internet
you're playing about warzone it's like i wasn't even thinking about the most recent one
because it's like our job
so it's like we don't think about it
so many hours in there
dude yeah
it's amazing it never really gets old
and
they're doing updates constantly
and dude I mean
there's camaraderie teamwork for sure you're on the
comms i mean the fact that you're on comms with your boys especially during the pandemic it's
like you could chat with your boys and it was like oh i'm hanging out with everyone right now
thank god dude it's huge to have comms bro so big i remember the first time we played was luke
connor's like we finished a multi and he's like yo let's play warzone we're like what's that he's
like just join me yeah bro we all got in a jeep together and we're just driving around
and i was like this is the fucking sickest thing i've ever done in my life it feels like real life
almost yeah when i first played i had no idea what's going on i played i played with this kid
uh he used to make uh thumbnails for his cooter and uh he's the man oh yeah he's good yeah yeah
dude yeah he like i like they're like
come play war zones i like i'm like falling through the air you know i'm like what the
fuck is going on i'm like running i just get shot it took me a while to figure out but once
he once he figured it out especially if you're used to multiplayer like yeah yeah the concept
of the huge map and i never played fortnite or like yeah one of those battle royale games so like it
really and then you have to figure out what all the contracts are and like the fact that like
like making a loadout yeah early in the pandemic like not realizing that there was like
a huge tactical advantage and then like you're probably not going to win a lot of games if you
don't have like your custom loadouts ready to go right right yeah it's a sick game it is awesome and i'll keep in touch
with my friends where you go even though i already had halo i was like yeah and dude you know what
it's the only game that someone's picked that has comms where we're all i mean you could pick a later
halo iteration but yeah that's such a big part just talk because like you talk about everything
like you talk about the game but then you're also like what's up man like yeah you know a lot of my
friends have kids now i'm like like, how's Killian doing?
Yeah.
Or like they announce pregnancies on it.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, guys, I got some news, dude.
I'm gonna have a kid.
Like, it's like happening.
It does look like that on com.
And then we're like, cool.
We got a guy breaching the building.
Hold that.
You gotta get this recon.
Did you get a clay on that back zip, dude?
Exactly, dude.
I already asked you that twice.
Match pointer, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. It's like like hold that thought we're gonna go yeah we're pushing prison
yeah uh yeah it's it's epic it does feel like you're hanging out with them too
like i sort of count it as socializing well because there's downtime you know what i mean
there's like you have in between games especially i, I know you brought it up last time or previously, how bad the game's been.
Oh, bro.
So now it's been like the amount of comms that aren't game related or like is bloated,
but it's still fun.
Yeah.
Dude.
And I watch people play Call of Duty.
Yeah.
I watch Dr. Disrespect, who I think is the greatest content creator of our lifetime.
He's so fun.
Yeah.
It's awesome.
I watch him play.
Yeah.
Like it's actually. It's entertaining. It's so funny. I watch him play. It's actually...
It's entertaining.
It extends beyond me even just playing it myself.
Fuck, man.
That was my pick and I was so confident I was going to get it.
But right when you started that sentence,
I knew you were going with it.
So I still need a sports game,
but my two favorites have been picked.
Yeah, my bad.
No, you're a beast.
So I was thinking Wayne Gretzky 3D hockey.
Dude, it's so good.
It's so good.
I wanted to talk about it.
NBA Jam.
Another great game.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, bro.
Dude, NBA Jam.
We're going to have some honorable mentions coming up.
Absolutely.
We've got some honorable mentions.
I guess I'm throwing those out right now.
Okay, hold on.
So is this a console game?
And I'm genuinely asking, and I won't do it.
It doesn't matter, though.
You already have console games enough, right?
No, I don't have two yet.
I went computer and arcade with my second and third.
And I don't think anyone else even deviated, so I'm the only one who even did the you cut
I did a PC and then three con. Oh you did you a PC?
I thought about doing some third-person strat games, but is dance dance revolution or Guitar Hero
Is a great guitar
I might go rock band
you're gonna go dancing
I'm going rock band
you know what
rock band
I'm going rock band
cause I like that one more
and you can sing
and you can do it
with four guys
put it together
there was drums
and then there was
two guitars
and a singer
you'd sing maps
dude by the
yeah yeah yeah
I don't have a sports game
but
the soundtrack was great
and dude
I remember one night
I sang so much
I was hoarse the next day I felt like Dave Gro one night i sang so much i was hoarse
the next day i felt like dave grohl after back-to-back shows i was like guys i can't sing
tonight it was also fun about singing in that game is that you didn't actually if you try to
sound good you actually did worse you had to hit the notes which was uh yeah kind of like games
don't be that guy there was this one guy who who was really good and he just mumbled into the mic and he would get
like 99s and 100s
and it's like
a shit belt.
Yeah, dude.
In senior year
we had two,
for like three weeks
we had,
among our friend group,
two competing bands
of four.
Shrub
and I can't remember
the other one.
I remember being
on the phone
with Rob
and he's like,
yeah man,
you should totally
dance with my wife and he starts singing because he told me I'm about to gear up and I'm like, the phone with Rob, and he's like, yeah, man, you should totally dance with my wife.
And he starts singing because he told me, like, I'm about to gear up.
All right, cool, dude.
I'm just going to be amazing.
Well, those games, too, I feel like it's less about performance and more just about your spirit.
Yeah, and having fun.
Yeah.
Because you're really only competing as a group against your own scores.
Yeah.
We would compare with the other band, but at the end of the day, that only lasted against your own scores. Yeah. Like, we would compare with, like, the other band,
but,
like,
at the end of the day,
like,
that only lasted for a couple weeks.
Yeah.
No,
it's all about,
it's all about your passion for the music.
And that's,
that counts as a console game.
Yeah,
that's a console game.
Yeah,
because I played it.
Yeah.
I mean,
you had to plug in all the shit
that was Xbox games.
Switch the controllers.
I'm gonna go,
yeah,
I'm gonna go Rock Band.
It's a sick-ass game,
dude.
It's so fun.
Dude,
I never even thought about those games.
That's a great call. Guitar Hero. I probably should've gone with Guitar Hero, but I like it. I think a sick-ass game, dude. It's so fun. I never even thought about those games. That's a great call.
Guitar Hero.
I probably should have gone with Guitar Hero.
I think you should have.
Yeah.
Okay, Guitar Hero.
Guitar Hero 2.
Yeah, whichever.
Sorry, don't let me get into it.
Guitar Hero 2.
I'm going Guitar Hero 2.
No, no, no.
You're right.
No, Guitar Hero.
I'm going Guitar Hero.
I'm going Guitar Hero.
Let the record show.
Dude, there was this one guy at Howie's.
Like the greatest.
I assume the greatest Guitar Hero player ever, dude.
Who? Dragon Slayer. who like doing that but like playing
Dragon Slayer and then he
and then he did
this just to ball out he was playing
like this boom
over the top started playing like this
that's why I was one with dance dance
tell the story weren't you at an arcade one time
it would happen all the time at Howie's there was a dance dance
right by the door where like I've seen this a couple times.
We're like, people walk in with like a full towel.
Oh, yeah, bro.
And like workout clothes.
And they're like, I'm here.
For real?
One time we were at Dave and Bucky's.
Oh, and this guy.
The cool thing about dance dance is people would watch other people play dance dance.
So this guy was just like crushing it.
He had a crowd.
And then as a finishing move to this one, instead of just like stepping on the left
and right, 360, ah, and like throw his arms out.
And it was just like, oh, my God.
That's amazing.
You can literally be a hero.
You can literally be a hero.
It really was like a crowd of like eight to ten people.
Like just like.
No, dude, yeah.
This kid's on one, dude.
He's fucking killing it.
That's where I learned about that song,
Aye, aye, aye, you are my butterfly,
and you're fucking DVR into that, dude.
It's the sickest-ass song.
I was so bad at Dance Dance Revolution.
Yeah, it wasn't my game.
I was terrible.
I was bad at Guitar Hero, too,
but I do remember that being...
That's pretty sick.
You could feel like a hero.
I sang in a rock band,
because I wasn't good at the other shit. Honorable mentions real quick before we get into the
picks I think you gotta go NBA Jam
you gotta go Street Fighter
NBA Street was like I never felt cool
when I played NBA Street
NBA Street was sick
NFL Street was cool too
but NBA Street was better
NFL Blitz
NHL 10
the only problem with Blitz
was it had the thing
built into the game
where if you were up big,
it always let the other guy
come back.
And I fucking hated that shit.
But Da Bomb, dude.
Yeah, exactly.
I was so stupid.
Dude, I called it D-A-Bomb.
Yeah, we were so stupid.
We just had no street in it.
I was just a nerd.
It's amazing.
Mortal Kombat.
Yeah, Mortal Kombat.
I don't like any of the fighting games because I feel like for me it was just butted mas's amazing a mortal combat none of you know i don't like any of the
fighting games because i feel like for me it was just butted mashing and like i wasn't like i
couldn't really get any combos and i feel like it would just end up being mean like devolving into
and it's just it felt binary you never got into like tekken tekken was dope dude when you could
be eddie the street dance fighter yeah that was amazing i forgot about him it was like what were
the games that i would like soul caliber like rented that game tekken would rent it but i didn't buy it and
i could lose myself renting it was dope bro yeah because you're trying to beat in the weekend
because it's like oh my god we we rent it we went to blockbuster on friday it's going back on monday
otherwise it's late charges so like we got to try and beat this game yeah the dreamcast game i
thought you were going with and it was revolutionary because it was three-dimensional you could move laterally and
uh forward and backwards because street fighter mortal kombat it's only forward and backwards
and i would do that in sword caliber you can it's a little plain you're right yeah it's like a circle
you can kind of move around oh you can you could go 3d in that that's we played it yeah it was
again power stone was the first game you could do that in, as I remember it.
But then,
yeah, of the fighter games,
what did we like more,
Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat?
I like Street Fighter more.
I like the characters more
in Street Fighter.
And I could do that more arcade.
I played Street Fighter
at the arcade.
You like Mortal Kombat more?
I'm a Mortal Kombat guy.
The thing I liked about Mortal Kombat
was flawless victory
and fatalities.
Fatalities are,
I mean,
dude, some of the fatalities
were so gnarly, too.
Like, I remember, what's the ice guy? Sub-Zero. fatalities fatalities are i mean yeah dude some of the fatalities were so gnarly too for like uh
i remember um what's the ice guy sub-zero he'd like freeze you and take your head and throw it
at your body and your body would shatter it's a knocked up dude yeah yeah oh dude yeah 40 year
old virgin yeah and how good are those games that they were able to build like five movies out of
each one like the characters were like they're like, they're making a Ken and Ryu movie.
I was like, I'm in.
Remember that dope animated movie?
That animated movie.
It was called Street Fighter 2, but I don't know what one was, but it was an animated.
Probably the Jean-Claude Van Damme one.
Right.
And it was just the sickest fucking movie.
Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Bison, dude.
Great actor.
Dying was filmed in that movie.
Really?
Can you imagine that being your final, your parting shot?
Robin Julia.
Yeah, Robin Julia.
It's like the German guy in Lives of Others. That was his last parting shot it's like yeah it's like the
german guy in lives of others that was his last movie it's like peter postewaite in the town
these iconic performances and great movies it's like this guy's like a classically trained actor
all the skills in the bag and then they're like what's your last movie street fighter well that
was he did it because the oral history is really good on that too and a lot of the actors and
they're like oh he's in this this is gonna be good. I'll do this movie because he's doing it because he's so well respected.
How dumb does Blanca look in that movie?
Oh, Blanca's the worst, dude.
They really messed up Blanca.
Yeah, he's just like, he's a sad boy.
I'm going to mess with my son.
And they're showing him really fucked up clips.
Yeah.
It's so weird. But there's a sick stealth boat. And clips yeah yeah it's so weird it's so but there's a sick
stealth boat and by stealth it's invisible it goes invisible and like a river that's not what
stealth is but i do love that that's where we went with it dude a game just came to mind twisted
metal bro i was gonna say that i was never playstation i was never PlayStation. I was never PlayStation. It was the one with the ice cream truck with the fucking fire.
Sweet Tooth.
Sweet Tooth was gnarly.
Oh, that was a dope game.
That was a dope game.
It's a great game.
Twisted Metal.
I love that game.
PlayStation games that I didn't, never played Uncharted.
I've watched gameplay for like, I don't know, like I did it for like an hour one time and
that was it.
Looks fucking sick.
Never really had a PlayStation.
Yeah. Haven't played Uncharted. for like an hour one time and that was it. Looks fucking sick. Never really had a PlayStation.
Yeah.
Haven't played Uncharted.
That would probably be,
I'm sure some people would think it's like
a huge omission,
but Twisted Metal
never had a PlayStation
so it just wasn't
going to make it for me.
Great game.
We didn't do any
Super Nintendo games.
No one hit Super Mario Bros.,
Donkey Kong.
Mario N64 was a revolutionary one.
That was huge.
360.
It was also like
in the Zelda realm of,
this is too fucking big. It's a lot of world stuff.
I can't figure this out. And it's not violent.
I don't mean to be like... I agree.
A fucking
sadist, but it's
kind of why you play video games.
You want to light somebody up. And like
Super Mario Brothers and Zelda and stuff like that
you're like putting a spell on them or you're jumping
on their head and they're disappearing. I want to just like
Star Fox, dude, for N64 oh starfox bro and that had a rumble pack that had like a
video that came with it it was like uh really stupid but i remember that was a game i could
beat dude andross but there was also but through all the different different iterations because
like there's like mission complete and then mission accomplished and mission complete was
like you beat the level but you didn't beat, but you didn't beat it to the perfection that it could be.
And you could literally go on a different trajectory and go to different planets.
That was a dope game.
And that was N64?
And that was N64.
And that was the first one that came with the Rumble Pack.
Was N64 the biggest leap in tech that you can remember system to system?
Or was PlayStation to remember system to system? Or was PlayStation
to Dreamcast to Xbox?
I think it would either be
to N64 or
N64 to PlayStation.
Right. I think were the two biggest
leaps. Or maybe
a little before our time, but maybe even Atari
to a Super Nintendo.
That might be the biggest one.
But then, I mean, Xbox 360.
Did that start to incorporate online play?
Is that when we got comms?
I think so.
But I think people were already,
the fact that people were already playing
like computers.
Computers had it.
There was already Counter-Strike.
None of us mentioned Counter-Strike.
Counter-Strike, which like, yeah,
but I never really played it.
Never played it.
Roller Coaster Tycoon was another big one.
Dude, yeah. I was going to say that. But you know what? Rollercoaster Tycoon was another big dude yeah
but you know what Rollercoaster
Tycoon you can murder people
and that helps a lot you can be a
sadist at some point you're just like yo I'm not
finishing this rollercoaster
you can just build it and none of us pick
the Sims because we're not doing like Neo Realist
and what do I want to do in the Sims
I want to make them try to fuck
and you could do that
in
you could do that
in a fucking GTA
and you get your guy jacked
yeah
and you can start a fire right
you can drown him
I think
yeah
Sims is gnarly
in Sims you could take
the ladder out of the pool
right
and then they just would like
swim until they got tired
yeah Sims is weird dude
I'd play Sims
you'd start doing
some weird shit
yeah
but I'd be lonely in that game.
What other game could you be lonely in?
Yeah.
Dude, he had to do Turok Dinosaur Hunter, bro.
I was lonely in that game, dude.
That was kind of tough.
I was lonely, dude.
It was a tough game.
It was scary, too.
It scared me.
Maybe I made a mistake with my non-two console picks, but I'm surprised no one said Pokemon.
I thought about it, but I already had.
I never got into it.
You never got into it? Whoa. See, what? I had red. You had blue. I thought about it, but I already had. I never got into it. You never got into it?
Whoa.
See, what?
I had red.
You had blue.
Yellow, maybe.
Or vice versa.
Yellow was at next, but I remember we both got Game Boys.
And Pocket Game Boys.
It was the first time it, like, because it came out around the same time that Pokemon
Red and Blue did, which was the first one.
And it was where they got thinner.
And I mean, I played Red and Blue, like, so much. And I've played it, like, I played it, like they got thinner. I played Red and Blue so much.
I played it once again
after beating it in a day
during college.
It's so fun.
It's great.
Pokemon was also super...
Just watching those things level up,
freaking shoot laser beams at each other.
The transformation of the characters,
taking a Squirtle into a...
Blastoise.
Squirtle into a Blastoise last into a blastoise was which was all i always went i mean i did other versions but it was the best
blastoise was just the coolest he's a freaking hoss aaron we'll run you wrote down our list
we didn't do any racing games though oh yeah i was saying need for speed underground is the one
that you were talking about where you could drag and you could drift. When he went to the menu, the song was...
Oh, really?
I forgot about that.
That's dope, dude.
When soundtracks came in in the early 2000s, that was big.
But your head would start to feel like you were in an alternate universe.
That was a sexy game.
Aaron, do you want to give your pick and then tell us what the list was?
Because I don't know everybody's list off the top of my head right now.
I have a bunch of honor roll.
Can you kick him the mic?
Yeah.
So just in terms of honor roll mentions that didn't get mentioned,
ones that I would have picked myself were in this.
Metal Gear Solid.
Never played.
Oh, I heard that's made.
Probably my favorite game of all time.
What's the game that,
Final Fantasy 2,
that has like 90,000 iterations?
Never did it.
I went to Metal Gear Solid one weekend
and I played some of it,
but I didn't dive in.
It's so cinematic.
I mean, that thing.
I'm shocked no one's made that into a movie.
I think they've tried. Donkey Kong Jr that thing. I'm shocked no one's made that into a movie.
Donkey Kong Jr.
We're talking arcade, classic arcade game.
You think Donkey Kong, but I think Jr. is better.
Where you're playing as...
The little one, right?
The skinnier one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In terms of early first-person shooters, Duke Nukem.
Yeah, Duke Nukem.
You can look at the boobs.
Dude, that was one of the first... Hidden boobs somewhere.
Parents won't let you play it.
My mom watched a news thing on it
and was like,
I'm taking Duke Nukem.
Never played it.
Probably because of that.
We had it.
Super Mario World on SNES is great.
It's introduced Yoshi.
Do you like Mario 64?
Not as much.
I played Mario 64.
It's hard to get...
It's hard to get... It's hard to get into it and
get around as much you know mario party was pretty dope too mario party sick um you could even go on
jackbox i guess right a lot of people play that now oh i forgot one super smash bros i was about
to say that yeah they're just all i was never each guy but you gotta give her like it's dudes
play a professional that was one of the first games you could play professionally.
With Smash Bros.
With Smash Bros. and Mario Kart,
my buddies in college just were so much better than me already,
and I was just like...
They just lapped me that I was like, have fun.
Who'd you play as in Smash Bros.?
I didn't play it.
Captain Falcon.
Captain Falcon, just do a Falcon Punch.
Hopefully I knock somebody out.
Maybe I'll get lucky.
Star Fox? It's cheap. Kirby was the best.
Star Fox.
It's cheap.
Kirby was the one that could absorb you.
And he could float a lot.
And then he turns into a brick.
Kirby's fun.
Afterburner, the arcade game.
The first game where you...
It was a fighter pilot game where it moved.
And John Connor's in it before the Terminator comes to get him in T2.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That's awesome.
Good pick.
You said X-Men Arcade, Simpsons Arcade games.
Amazing.
Yeah, and Ninja Turtles.
Ninja Turtles Arcade games.
But those were all like, I couldn't pick one because they're all kind of the same and they
were just fun, but it was just different branding.
Yeah.
But they were great.
Area 51.
Yeah.
That was a dope one.
Die Hard Arcade
dude
fuck
fuck
fuck
I gotta read you my list
I know
I gotta read you my list
that was the best
that was the best
I played it recently
there's
there's a
arcade place that
unfortunately
didn't survive the pandemic
but like you paid like
ten dollars an hour
and you could play
Unlimited
so I played
Die Hard Arcade
and beat it
three dimensional
it's not as good
as we remember it
but it was really good
I'm having trouble
believing that
the running through
the halls
press B
yeah it's like
punch
and then you have to
jump
and then you could like
otherwise
you wouldn't make it
past that
and you'd have to
fight more
that was like
you go to ballpark pizza
you're doing six hours
on it
cause they had it at the ballpark pizza, you're doing six hours on it. Because they had it
at the ballpark.
That's what it took.
It took almost the hour
that I had.
Madden 94,
NHL 93,
it still had the fighting
and the blood.
Whoa.
The blood.
And made famous by swingers.
Yeah.
Making his head bleed.
Yeah.
Tecmo Bowl
is another great football game.
WWF Royal Rumble in SNES.
Great game.
Oh, that was great game.
That was one of my first sleepovers
where my parents had to come out
and say,
go the fuck to sleep
because we were just
playing Royal Rumble
and making a mess.
Do you have to go to sleep
at sleepovers?
Like, what's the harm?
You do.
How funny.
Shut up.
Yeah, they just want you to shut up,
basically.
Right.
Yeah.
So they can go to sleep.
That makes sense. I love staying up all night. I guess I never thought about it. It was bad, right? Dude, then you prank. I mean, I prank you shut up, basically. You're too loud. Yeah. So they can go to sleep. That makes sense.
I love staying up all night.
I guess I never thought about it.
It was bad, right?
Dude, then you prank.

because nobody really like
nailed it for me personally
just for my personal taste
it's so personal
it's so personal
it really is
honestly when JT had Rock Band he had it It's so personal. It's so personal. It really is.
Honestly, when JT had Rock Band, he had it.
Oh, I had it?
That's why you were telling me not to switch? That's why I was, yeah.
The Aaron Cam was a big no.
Yeah, but Guitar Hero's still sick, dude.
Is there drums in it?
Because I'm a drummer.
I had to go with other people, though.
I just remember more people.
I don't remember people playing Rock Band as much as they play guitar yeah because guitar hero was like big for like
i feel like a couple years before yeah yeah rock band came out it just felt more iconic i do like
rock band more but i was like i was trying to speak to like beatles rock band i didn't know
the most beautiful games ever made but come on you can't take it away because i'm still doing
that kind of game i'm not taking it away just i'm just saying you had me. You had it in the bag. But yeah.
Okay.
Strider.
Great start.
As always.
I don't know that you can name a better one and two.
Honestly.
No. Because I'm not a big first person shooter guy.
But I respect.
Obviously Halo is like the best-selling game of all time.
Best-selling franchise of all time.
But Pro Skater, GTA, Vice City, and especially that it is Vice City.
What a one-two.
Yeah.
Then you get into Soul Calibur.
Yeah, then he went like off the res.
All right, I mean, fighting game, okay.
I feel like you overthought how rounded your thing had to be.
Because then when you went Wolfenstein, I'm like,
you could have just thrown out another dank game.
Yeah.
Rather than trying to have a first-person shooter.
I know I did, I did.
But I went personal.
We all said it's so personal.
I mean, who doesn't love killing Nazis?
I agree.
I love Chad's first two as well.
GoldenEye, Mario Kart.
Same console.
Not a problem.
I love the...
I mean, both of them are four-player.
Both of them are so fun.
Going Tony Hawk 2
when Tony Hawk 1's already in.
I don't know that that much...
That's a bad move.
I don't know that that much more was added bad move. I don't know that much more was added.
Right.
I had to do it, dude.
I thought it was smart.
I respect it.
I respect it.
I respect your passion.
I respect your passion for it.
I gotta give Tony Hawk love.
And then Warzone for the comms,
especially during the pandemic.
Huge.
I mean, that's a huge fourth pick.
When he's already got a first-person shooter.
It's a number one pick.
It really is.
Yeah.
It's kind of surprising it was still out there.
And then Chris with Call of Duty, Modern Warfare.
It didn't seem like, it didn't seem you were that passionate about it, which is for your number one.
It was a game-changer, man.
It was so good.
You ripped at it.
I had a war zone out there.
You ripped at it.
Yeah.
I mean.
I probably should have gotten that.
You should have gotten a war zone, yeah. You ripped at it. I don't know if Warzone's out there, though. You ripped at it. Yeah. I mean... I probably should have gotten that. You should have gone Warzone, yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
And then I went to sports games.
It's just really close.
It was so good.
I don't...
I don't know Command & Conquer Red Alert that well.
It's sick, dude.
It's so sick.
And then this one, and I won't lie to you, trust me.
It's also like...
Have you played like
Age of Empires
no
oh dude
Age of Empires is dope
you know what was overrated
in this department
Battle for Middle Earth
Shogun
Shogun was
you thought it was overrated
not as good as these other ones
it had the
it had the cut scenes
that were great
so you haven't really played
any third person strategy games
no
it's up to your alley
it's like
you probably would like them
it's like yeah you would like them it's like
you'd probably
like them a lot
and it is one of
the best
of those versions
and you probably
just have to trust
us on that one
yeah
it was on my list
did you ever play
Warcraft
no
or Starcraft
was it
Starcraft
Starcraft
but Warcraft
was first
Warcraft is MMORPG.
I had a girl end a first date
because she was up too late
playing World of Warcraft the night before.
She sounds odd.
World of Warcraft did give us the best viral video
of all time.
Oh, dude.
Oh, Leroy Jenkins.
Dude, I used to, in boarding school,
there was this kid who would play warcraft
and now it's kind of mean because we all thought he was a nerd for playing warcraft so we'd go in
there and just watch him play and just like what's up dude he's playing warcraft and he's like what
are you guys doing here we just want to watch you play dude and we just sit there and be like
dude he's playing warcraft just laughing at him playing yeah that's what he had to do yeah it was
good for him it's one of the greatest South Park episodes.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm trying to think if on the list,
like who has even my favorite on this list.
Did you play Knights of the Old Republic?
Maybe Vice City.
I played the one after that.
Number two, I couldn't get into it.
No, it was.
And then there was an online.
Jedi Knight 2, I think is what it was called. Yeah. And I played like the first couple hours of that and then there was an online jedi knight 2 i think is what it's called yeah
and then i played i played like the first couple hours of that and then i stopped yeah
that was a pc game uh fuck
i think i'm going chad oh yeah i do i was honestly honestly not expecting that but
this is my acceptance speech
not expecting it but I'll take it thank you
because when you came out
with Vice City I was like my list is done
Vice City and Tony Hawk Pro Skater
dude I mean that was
you know
but thank you
Aaron for this
you have two
two first person shooters those are the best kind of games though Aaron it's good variety you I mean you have unfortunate you have two you have
two first-person shooters those are the best kind of games though yeah they are
they are really taking the world by storm you have like the og literally
where people would bring multiple televisions into a home and I just I
just love Mario Kart so much yeah it's a classic I mean if that if that didn't
get picked I would have probably just stormed out of here.
Wait, so your list is Goldeneye, Mario Party, Mario Kart, Tony Hawk 2, Warzone.
Nah, that's unstoppable.
That's the best four.
Good shit, man.
Thank you, guys.
Warzone.
Congrats.
Dude, thank you, guys.
I was going to get it, dude.
I was going to get it.
I think JT's two.
Thank you.
I would have got Warzone.
For good variety in there as well.
Like the types of games.
I love that there's a music game at the end.
Because I was worried that was going to get forgotten.
I go Strider three, Chris four.
Nice.
Good shit, guys.
Well, thank you, Aaron.
Thank you, Aaron.

I think we probably got to skip the cues today,
guys.
Cause we're already in the,
uh,
I thought this won't be the shortest one.

Chad, who's your beef of the week?
Dude, my beef of the week?
This is probably going to be unexpected, but it's with my whoop.
Whoa.
I think I'm over the whoop.
Because you're studying it too much?
Yeah.
You know, I was surfing with my buddy, and he's like,
yeah, man, I had the Ura ring or whatever the fuck the uva ring same same shit tracks your fitness and sleep and
stuff and he's like it would mess up my sleep and i was and i was thinking about it and like when
you look at when you track your sleep you like look at the next day if you don't have great sleep
it'll be like you got four hours
and 30 minutes of sleep you're at zero percent recovery you feel like shit and then in your mind
you're like oh i do feel like shit so i would feel shittier and then so after you said that i sort of
sort of just by coincidence it like got disconnected and so it's not really tracking
anymore i was like i'm just gonna let it let go for a bit and like last night i got i don't even know how many hours of sleep i got back late
you know probably like 2 30 you know woke up at 7 because i'm a fucking maniac and i can't sleep in
um and uh i feel fine i mean i'm tired now but but I don't have an app telling me that I slept
like dog shit
and telling me that I should feel like shit.
Now I think I'm
going to later the whoop.
I had a good squad
on there. Good dudes.
I think it's the end of my
whoop days. Nice, dude.
Some things are only supposed to last for so long.
Some things aren't meant to be done forever. learned a lot from it i learned about how many
calories i was burning sleeping it was a good got me to bed earlier yeah but you've learned and now
you're ready to move on i got gifted one it was back ordered so it's coming in and oh dude next
month i'm sorry bro i can't wait get your information then choose what you do with it
yeah dating chance see because i want more
advanced stats right now because i got the apple watch and i can't check sleep because the battery
sucks on it right but maybe it'll be short but dude and then i can re-gift it it is it is like
it is you do get like a little dopamine hit in the morning when you like check your thing it'll
be like sleep auto-detected and i'll be like you got eight hours and you feel a hundred percent today it's all green and you're like
fuck yeah dude but then more often than not it's like you slept like a fucking piece of shit
and your heart rate variability is like you should be dead right now dude and i'm like oh fuck man
so yeah strider what's your beef of the week dude my beef of the week has got to be
with um my fucking my uggs dude it's gotta be with my uggs had them for a long time um i even
did look down on this is a little bit crude but there's a jizz stain on one of my uggs
what is it your jizz hell yeah my jizz why'd you jizz on your uggs by accident but like they just
happened to be they were around i was drilling myself they were drilling myself and just it's
good you took your shoes off yeah i was just hanging out do you wear uggs in the drill factory
they were in my drill factory because i brought them in there a different time i didn't know
they were there how big is such an idiot i didn't realize my factory but your factory's my bathroom
yeah i go in there um that's where i really let a factory but your factory's my bathroom yeah i go
in there um that's where i really let let loose on myself it's my bathroom sometimes my desk area
and um but they're gone now dude and i can't find them oh no yeah and i'm worried that someone's
out there maybe that they yanked them or something i really don't know what happened to them don't
know how they're gone. Yeah.
Yeah, dude, I could be being cloned.
My DNA is out there now.
So I guess my beef maybe is not with just me being remiss and misplacing something that I loved.
Because you break a man, it's kind of like a rainbow sandal.
So I don't know what I'm going to go with next.
So basically, I don't know.
Nice.
I don't even know if that's really a good beef.
I think it's a great beef. You can't find your favorite shoes. Yeah, I love those. That's fucking tragic. I don't know. Nice. I don't even know if that's really a good beef, but... I think it's a great beef.
Nice.
You can't find your favorite shoes.
Yeah, I love wearing those.
That's fucking tragic, dude.
I game in those.
What are you going to wear instead?
Do you have like a replacement?
I've been wearing socks now.
I meant outside of the drill factory.
Oh.
Oh, no.
Outside of the drill factory.
I'll drill myself wearing anything.
A dress shoe, a boot.
It doesn't matter.
No, I mean like in your regular life what
shoes are you wearing instead of the uggs oh oh no no i'm just wearing socks because i'm just in
my house i usually wear them around the house oh you wear okay yeah i'm just wearing a sock like
boots it's an ugg you know it's like it's a ugg shoe so that has a sole on it but they're comfy
it's like a slipper rags make boots and they also make slippers oh that's a good call mine is the
slipper version oh yes yes yes sorry about that tom brady does wear the boots in his ads that's correct
i was picturing you in the drill factory naked with ugg boots on that's a great yourself yeah
it's hot it's like a russian soldier on like yes a break from some kind of post yeah somewhere out
in siberia or something like that.
It's a good call.
Maybe I have to get myself some hugs.
Can you do a Russian guy
wearing a hug
who wants to retire to the bathroom
and masturbate?
Yes, man.
Look, look.
Ivan, Ivan.
Sergey.
Yes.
You're due on your shift.
Ivan, I have been working
for a long shift,
a long time for Motherland.
You understand?
And right now I need me time.
What does that mean?
What do you mean when you ask for me time?
It means I will be very quick.
Very, very quick.
Don't worry.
I need a little bit of me time.
What the hell does me time mean?
It means I'm going to absolutely annihilate my penis.
It means I will go to the Crimean Peninsula,
take my shirt off,
mount bear,
and hack on my own dick
for 30 seconds.
That is how I like to masturbate.
Sergei, Sergei,
respect. The Kremlin is man's
respect.
My family is from Kiev.
They are on the way to Crimean Peninsula.
I've been in Siberia for eight years
now. I'm working. I've done
my due time. And let me tell you something.
I will tell on you.
I will tell on you to the party members
that are coming. I'll tell on you.
For what? I'll make it up.
Make what up? I'll say
that you have capitalist agenda.
That you are pocketing
That you like to wear blue
I'll say that you like to
Black off in blue jeans
I see you looking at blue jeans
Yes I do
Listening to rock music
Yes I do
I've never seen it or heard it
But I'll make it up
Unless you let me have had my own dick
45 seconds
I listen to classical orchestra.
You know this.
No, you do not listen to the greats.
You do not listen to the spring rhythm.
Stravinsky.
Exactly, Stravinsky, exactly.
You don't listen to him.
You claiming I listen to Bruce Springsteen?
Yes, I hear you shouting to yourself,
singing into your penis like microphone
in that weird position that you can get in
because you're flexible.
I watch you.
And you sing into your penis.
You bastard. Like Bruce Springsteen, you sing, get in because you're flexible. I watch you and you sing it to your penis. You bastard.
Like Bruce Springsteen,
you sing,
born in the US.
You color your lies
with real details
of who I actually am.
I am clever,
but I would never say
I am clever
because that gets you killed.
So you let me come.
You can go masturbate.
Thank you, Ivan.
Thank you very much.
Vodka for you.
Very smart.
Smash for you.
Smash for you.
Fruit smash.
Moscow.
Chris, what's your beef of the week? for you. Fruit smash. Moscow. Chris,
what's your beef of the week?
I don't have one.
Oh,
yeah.
Feeling.
I thought about it hard and chilling.
I love that.
Dude,
my beef of the week is with euphoria.
I've been doing my best to avoid it.
I try to watch episode one,
season one,
and I was like,
fuck this shit,
dude.
Oh,
season one.
Well,
so I was just like, why is this shit so heavy? Why am I so worried i jumped well so i was just like why is this
shit so heavy why am i so worried i'm scared the whole time i'm watching this can these kids just
like have a normal day and i do think like shows like euphoria and like uh kids feels like a kind
of like a precursor to it you know where you're just like be like this is realistic and you're
like this stuff does really happen but most of the time kids are bored we're in a car looking
for a party
and we're just driving around
and we end up like just chilling at someone's house
with loose parents who will like let us have maybe a beer
and we just watch a movie and that's it.
But like Euphoria is like,
okay, we're gonna strip all that out
and it's just like the fucking most insane shit
that can happen.
But dude, the fucking show is addicting.
It's about kids doing drugs.
It's like a drug.
I know it's bad for me.
I just can't stop watching it.
It stresses the shit out of me, but I jumped in season two and i'm just i'm
addicted i love watching it and now i'm just like reading profiles on the kids and
it's just i don't know it's got me all fired up but i'm in it's gets you it makes you feel dark
right it makes me feel really dark and you you'll be you'll feel the icky parts of yourself in it
like you'd like like
they're all worse shit bags than we could ever be but you're like you watch you're like fuck man do
i have that in me right fuck dude yeah it's all about the darkness i don't think it's all about
the dark i think it's like i think it did a disservice for people this is like realistic
because it's so heightened and i think it wants to be but then it was like people describing it
that way which was kind of false like it would get at real
things but like there's always a rager
everyone always has drugs like I
didn't and someone always does something very wrong
it's hard to see drugs you know what I mean like
like it like you had to build up to that in high
school and it feels like they don't have to build it like everything's
fucking crazy and you think
anything insane might happen was talking
about it with someone like oh so it's like
it was Robbie because I was describing it to him,
he's like, oh, it's like a Softie Brothers movie.
Yeah.
Where you're just so anxious, it's so intense.
And it's beautifully made like a Softie,
like the shots are incredible,
like whoever the DP is, it was just fucking crushing.
That is such a good point,
that like, do you remember the first time you saw Cocaine?
Like, I was afraid of it.
Yeah.
We walked into a party for Fourth of July,
when I was like 23,
and I remember seeing Cocaine, and just being like, I couldn't even look at it. It was like, it intimidated me so much, I had to legal party for 4th of July when I was like 23. And I remember seeing cocaine and just being like, I couldn't even look at it.
It was like, it intimidated me so much.
I had to turn away.
And I was like, oh God, get that away from me.
I tried to act cool.
I was like, where's the bathroom?
Oh, that's your Rottweiler?
Very cool.
Cool Rottweiler.
Yeah.
And it feels like every character.
It's like.
I know the Rottweiler.
Oh yeah.
Like they all do Molly.
Good dog passed away.
Like they all do Molly. They all do like every drug like some are like yeah they're just doing heroin over there
i'm like that wasn't yeah that's not high school for like 95 percent of people right totally you
don't think it is and i thought i got too much credit like wrongfully for like being realistic
yeah that's the wrong word that they use when they're like this is really they're like they
should just say look this is a dark like They're like, they should just say, look, this is a dark, like, twisted, exaggerated
version of teenage life.
Which I think is what they're going for.
Dude, it makes you want to say the dad phrase of just turn that shit off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Turn that shit.
Turn it off.
It's shit.
And you're like, no, it's not.
It's like about this.
And he's like, it's shit.
It's bad for you.
Yeah.
And the dad might be more right than I thought he was.
Yeah.
Chad, who's your babe of the week?
My babe of the week uh my babe of the week is

Chad what's your quote of the week
my quote of the week my quote of the week
is
oh
it's from a groomer
I can't remember
oh yeah he's talking to Brian Felipe
he's like
and then I told her not for long
and then we rammed
you what I rammed.
You what?
I rammed her.
Sorry.
I rammed her.
I don't want to use the F word because I don't want to diminish its beauty in any way.
Fuck, man.
All right, let me try it again.
And then I told her not for long.
And then we rammed.
You what?
I rammed her.
I don't want to use the F word because I don't want to diminish its beauty in any way,
but it was fucking great.
And I've never felt that way about a bone session before.
Nice.
That's coming from the heart.
That's nice.
Strider.
My quote is,
success is not final.
Failure is not fatal.
It is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston Churchill.
Beautiful.
Chris, what's your quote?
His gentleness was uncompromising.
Because he would not compete for dominance, he was indomitable.
Whoa.
What is that?
That's from a book called the dispossessed
and yeah it's just like that's a did you read a whole other i got 70 pages left
and it's like a whole other way like to think about masculinity that way it is pretty crazy
nice i've never thought about it like that it's pretty cool. That's nice. Mine is from Pancho Villa.
And I got it from Grady.
He told me this at the gym.
I guess Pancho Villa was a revolutionary in Mexico, right?
He's fighting the fight.
And I guess he did some dicey stuff once he got some power
and was really going to the end on it.
He did some things that a person would not be proud of.
And it seems like a lot of people in that position do that stuff.
But when he got ambushed and assassinated, he's with a bunch of his security and they they lit him
and his team up and he was dying and he turned to his security goes hey this can't be the end
tell everybody i said something badass or something along those lines like he didn't have anything
badass to say but he was like hey keep the myth up and keep the inspiration up they need it and
he's like just tell them i said something i think that's what he said that's great something and i
love that it's like cheeky and still his heart's in the right place uh chat what's your phrase my sweater's too big
yeah this girl's just gonna put you in some sheets bro
you're gonna be swimming
you're gonna be swimming
no I meant that in a good way like I was stoked
oh nice
no not in a negative way
I don't mean in a negative way no it's a good place to end up
yeah hell yeah
more cloth you can't argue with more cloth.
Dude, everybody wants to be swimming in sheets.
Dude, there's room for two in that sweater, bro.
Dude, good visuals.
Strider, what's your favorite thing to do after it?
Probably sucking and fucking and making money.
Did you make that up?
Sucking and fucking and making money?

Well, we do.

Chris what's your fantasy
we're freaking after skilympics coming up bombing it let's go hey shout out nagano uh
olympics n64 dude i was thinking about those ones yeah that's a rental one yeah you don't
know it's too easy it was actually incredibly difficult it's hard I tried to do like the long
ski jump dude some of them you couldn't figure out
like you do like the skeleton and you'd be like the buttons
are broken on this there's no one who can figure out
how to do this yeah you know what game I
thought was like I was like this
is the sickest game but I don't
think it actually was is SSX Tricky
you know what I mean that was a pretty dope game
but I think it the way
the way it's presented you're like this is to be the sickest game of all time.
Then you play it and you're kind of like...
And it suffered in comparison to 1080.
Oh, 1080, yeah.
1080 was the shit.
I think 1080 is still the premier snowboarding game.
When you charge up and then the song would come on
and be like...
Oh, right. Good call.
It kind of made like...
Maybe it was a mediocre game,
but for me,
like just the excitement
that you would get
because it needs to be boosted.
Yeah.
The boost.
It was sick though.
My phrase of the week,
I'm going to piggyback off
your quote of the week.
It's Flava Flav,
similar,
exact same sentiment
from the song,
He Got Game,
which is one of my favorite songs ever.
And he says,
don't let a win get to your head
or a loss get to your heart
it's the best way to be slave too flavor slave has if you only know him from like his later
career i don't think people understand that he was like a really uh compelling artist before that
yeah fucking writing some poignant shit making it accessible pointed as fuck and i think this
episode was pointing as fuck it was was nostalgic as fuck. Hell yeah.
And it brought us back to our childhoods and I hope it does that
for you guys too.
That was a good place to end. Beautiful.
You know what guys? I've changed my mind.
JT wins.

No way!

Maximus!
May I join you? You can't do that. Maximus! May I join you?
May I join you? You can't do that.
Where do you plan? No, it's not real.
But where do you plan to release?
Before the fight! I would care to
join you for a moment
and find my own peace
in this life of battle.
Fired up, dude.
