Ep. 265 - The Aftermath of The Marathon

wow what a slurp red bull you can slurp it slurp it rebel slurp it for me rebel i'm slurping it i like a fake fake instagram algorithm because i only use instagram on desktop and then i only open posts that i get linked okay and then so it turns into a weird mishmash of things i've like or the occasional person person i've actually followed at some point but i only follow like 80 accounts and most of them are friends so it's like skiing videos because i follow the skiing youtuber steep steep and then he's steep steep of course what else would he be named oh it's his name and i i got i started to get a lot of china stuff around when we went to china and a lot of like a lot of white guys that live in china or have lived in china for a long time and like do different shit and recently when i opened up instagram on my computer to check my dms there's a short there that or a real it's a real and uh it's that challenge that's been going around where he's he shows you a photo of the guy he just talked to and like asks if the guy he's talking to now if that person's gay or straight yep and the person always says gay like like no matter what yeah and but the challenge is all in chinese this time it's like it's like a guy that's so funny guy who isn't guy who isn't asian interviewing chinese people influent chinese doing the same exact challenge gay or straight gay or straight they all say gay and they had the jungle around sure gay and something about something about watching this and watching the whole thing unfold in chinese but them all still say gay without fail is so fucking funny to me how do you say gay in chinese dude it's it's you're not gonna believe it gay no way like the whole sentence would be like i'm just gonna say one of the sentences that i want my show pong y'all gay like he just did yeah it's like when in twitch chat when you do a bunch of like uh arabic or something and then you just put white house yeah and then you put charlie kirk and it's the only english words you can read to not even have a fucking word for it i don't know it might just be a loan word what is that what's the loan word when you loan a word oh alone no i mean alone like l-o-n-e no like cliche loan word we we would we got we're still on loan from that with the french we've been we did we have but we have an exchange it makes you think it's a bartering thing that like china didn't know what being they didn't have a word for being gay until like we started saying it well i think it's funny it's it's because there was no need it's just love and we pointed out that that's gay now actually it's different that's not love that's gay love and it's different but sometimes don't call it marriage okay sometimes it's slang because i i remember do you guys know who dogan is he's like the japanese he's the white guy japanese youtuber speaks japanese really well he speaks really well is he is he like the poster boy the the white guy speaks fluent mandarin at the restaurant guy no he doesn't need those he's not dogan is a white guy from washington state who speaks japanese so well that he like trains pitch accent for people who want to become native speakers yeah whoa and he'll be like not like like that level of minutiae yeah and he has a video where he's reviewing other youtubers japanese and one of these people is joey the anime man from trash taste and i remember this one always sticks out my mind because he reviews joey and he's like joey you're too good joey's half japanese he just speaks it because he speaks fluently and he's like joey's japanese is too good because he speaks perfectly he doesn't use enough loan words to sound really japanese he uses the actual old japanese word for things like in the 1700s when the samurai invented the word gay yeah and he's like because they were out at war and dogan's like the kids are speaking english now man they just toss it in there and i i think gay has to be like that you know it's like 5 000 years of chinese civilization not a single not a single person surely there's no no words it was always one man one woman was close they always say that he was close no he was just he was shy he was shy he was a shy straight man he was a shy wise man and we all followed his teachings do they have chinese word for foid probably probably like some horrible word they're like dude the chinese like gen z they're like america's bumping right now they got some crazy words dude if i didn't live in america i would just be so jealous of all the cool words that we make yeah it'd be like the culture also take a lot of words yeah tsunami yeah and and and that and that's how it's actually pronounced now tsunami tsunami tsunami johnny tsunami are we a hurricane uh those are i think we're hurricane no of course they're different but that's not a word but i'm saying that's not a loan word correct did we make hurricane made hurricane do we own hurricane we made hurricane but we stole chandelier hamburger maybe hamburger is german right us really kill yourself i'm gonna give it to us it's us i'm gonna give it to us you're just giving it wait we've kindergarten i think you could eventually take a loan word and then it's yours you know what i mean like if you own something long enough for the original owner to die the bank repossesses eventually yeah that's the way it works with real possessions in general where's bussy from that's eric redford who is korean i think that's from korea he's korean busan we can afford busan busamos this makes so much i can speak on foids for a moment if you if you please we're speak to it we're fresh off the marathon yes these guys are beat yeah i'm beat i'm not beat no getting talking about guy who's yawning in the intro you can cut back to the because it's on camera please don't do the black and white gta wasted y'all don't do that uh we did the gta marathon plus two for us two i can't believe it's one elo every 50 hours plus two plus two uh and and we played one game without you two yeah we were two games my body was that it's funny because i'm usually the guy who's like down for one more like i never say no i mean sometimes i say no but like i'm usually even if like if the guys are like we got to do it but my body reaches like degenerative limit that night which has never happened to me before i was i was like i was looking at the screen like like i got drunk and fucking i guess a video game but also in real life the fourth day was where i really hit the wall yeah i look we all hit the wall at some point i hit it day five i hit it the last day i was hopped up i've been on nicotine for so long i was on like a crazy amount of fucking zins and red bulls right it was gross just so bad oil my body was like shaking at one point like uh like i was a puppet on strings and i had no active mind uh but we but we played our one game and i i had said going in the challenge i was like against solo queuing because like solo queuing is like scary and i don't want to communicate and i hate talking to other people because i don't know if they'll be nice or mean or whatever but we played a game with a guy named diddy foyd yeah and my first reaction is this guy's gonna suck sure because his name's diddy foyd two diddy foyd diddy foyd two oh my god diddy foyd it sucks to not be the first one to the which is exactly what we asked him yeah and so we're talking to diddy foyd too turns out his last name's diddy tough which actually better in the context of he didn't make that name because p did yeah but it's just a tough time for him okay now what about foyd didn't ask about it i'm assuming it was a family name as well there's so many moments from that part of the stream that ludwig is gonna get caught for later he was like dude i need diddy right now dude he's like diddy i love you because he fragged out he didn't like talking yeah didn't say much but had a mic he had a mic very rarely used it and when he had gone against him i would have thought nothing but hate towards him yeah i would have felt just a scout demon he's one of those players that buys scout and just gets three picks a round i would have thought this guy's cheating of course his name's diddy foyd he talks shit in all chat i was like this guy's what's wrong with the community but then when i spoke to him i was like oh this is not scary this is a boy well i mean you you're basing this idea of like oh maybe so like he's not that bad off of one gentle diddy foyd yes i did this for i think 17 days and i was like oh my god it's 18 days and it was not fun it was it wasn't fun to do did you ever break through the the diddy or the diddy foyds with the anime profile pictures that just spam slurs there's a way you speak to them of course bro you have to say one going ramp and that's the problem with the counter-strike like one is always going around and the guy said the n-word and you still have to talk to him even if he said the n-word the guy's going ramp going ramp and i hate that he said it i don't i don't want to know or speak to that guy but i'm locked we can't even if nobody leaves the game we can't even ff i'm here i'm here with you and a guy's going ramp but there yeah there are a lot of people that were like there were i put it in the video i put up like there were a lot of people that were really funny and they were not dicks i even i sat down and i interviewed a guy after and he like stole the chat's heart i asked him his five favorite things and every one of them was this banger because he had this like reddit voice he would he he was like there's one on b and i was across the map on and us too and you just hear a gunshot he's like not anymore and i'm like okay well i did that you guys said that was aura loss it was and it was for this guy too but then he was just like ah cry about it like you feel like that i'm like i want to interview this guy and i did and he was wonderful there are there are humans that play the game but do you think the larger percentage is the evils i don't think it's a larger percentage it might well more than most games i think but the game doesn't have filters that allow that stop these people from communicating with you in that way uh because if it's league their account just like goes down yeah and it's a pain in the ass um and i think i do think more racist people play counter-strike i just think it's a stat um and and shitty people in general i think i dare i say if we could i think it's better than rainbow six oh oh i don't know about right i've never even seen more than 60 seconds of that game my lifetime i don't think i've seen a rainbow six clip that doesn't have jinx's head in the bottom yeah looking up i would stand up on the podium and say i don't think i've seen a rainbow six clip that doesn't have jinx's head in the bottom say counter-strike is probably less racist than rainbow six siege really yes okay and i am making this judgment i'm making this judgment based off of the actions i vaguely know in their pro scene really yes i don't i know nothing in the pro scene all i know of rainbow six is that probably most of jinx's years watch it console you're making a bold claim here console games are a different beast though that's what i'm saying like warzone players yeah that's that's crazy i don't think they're as bad as cod players because i don't think the game allows them or excuse me yeah i don't think cod players are as bad as counter-strike players like i think when people are like you couldn't handle fucking call the duty lobby pussy it's like just play cs2 live now i actually think it's the same i i think any filters aren't there right any difference here is marginal the difference between cod and counter-strike which this was not always the difference but the difference now is that you can talk to the other team yeah and that it's like a natural i hate like hatred thing but talking in voice to your own team you can still do that in cod right that's what i'm saying you can't like voice to the other guys because you used to be able to do that counter-strike um yeah during i think it was between half time and then in the post game why'd they take it away they added it back to face it games yeah like just recently yeah yeah just like three weeks ago i mean you so hype yeah yeah they never should take that away dude i've been watching counter-strike videos because i know fuck all about i've never watched like a comp the only thing i ever knew about it was you're about to make the play of your career shot really that's all you ever knew take your time take your time take your time son that that and simple and donk that's probably it what about kenny s bro okay we interviewed you i don't know you'd a bunch of these people i don't know kenny s because of his counter-strike prowess i know him because i met him and he's french i still say for this day from that that interview i have no clue i still think of ken ken sitting next to kenny s and asking him what kenny what he's doing his ken thing what game do you think you're best at and then kenny no beats skipped he's like probably fifa fresh people are great at fifa or pests it's actually a very humbling answer because he's like it's not counter-strike i'm a pro but i'm not the best and he can say that uh what is uh remember in the interview oh yeah yeah breasts sebu sebu they're they're breasts ah no no sorry they're paws they're balls it's like i don't know why i thought i was pressed they're balls i'm pretty sure yeah you do this you go sebu yeah because they're big heavy balls dude what a classic clip look at you and your little waiter outfit i look you look the same no you do the dude you're funny bro look at us look at the timing wow what a great video back in the day that was in the upstairs bedroom uh to the left but now i'm appreciating kenny s because i've been watching clips of counter-strike yeah like i watched like all the graffiti i didn't know about the graffiti thing the fallen uh was it fall occult era just the idea that on maps where you see graffiti that is because there was a cool play that happened there yeah and there's like not that many there's like eight yeah the main is mirage two on mirage now the magics one i found about the pixel boosts um which pixel boost the pixel boost on overpass overpass overpass yes were they like mini they totem pole yeah where they make a 13-3 this is crazy yeah this dude there's a lot of real cs has some of my favorite esports history of like any game i stayed up till 3am watching it because there was a tournament were you watching the saudis oh yeah i was watching the saudis play well the saudi tournament the esports world cup sponsors for that are so funny it's just a city it's a what oh neo isn't it neom or something there's like one it's like kidia city like for the esports world cup it was like the cs2 finals today this morning and then the sponsors are just like saudi arabia fly saudi it's literally saudi ramco i know so i'm dm'd me and he's like i've been watching the broadcast and the casters keep saying this saudi or the aramco power ranking yes for street fighter and i was like this is insane this is something me and slime i am like 99 sure we have said this to each other years ago we invented this joke when aiden was uh like working at bts and then it became reality eight years later also every fucking cs2 caster it's on site i don't understand what the fuck's going on with the sports coat and sneakers combo yeah i think the ugliest thing i've ever seen in my life epicenter of all of this it's so ugly it's hideous well i it looks like a pathetic prom guy really it looks like it looks like you're fucking i'm 37 but i look 17 and i'm going to prom in this movie i'm a model it's gamers getting money it's gamers in cars getting money i think honestly it's there it's not wanting to have a backpack but wanting to go to the after party you know like i gotta have the shoes for the after party and i can take the jacket off i never thought about that because a backpack i think i don't care about wearing a backpack but i in this room it's like a humiliating thing to have to carry around for me it's just a liability like at some point i'll take it off and then i have to remember i took it off well you have like a tote bag do you not forget the tote bag i only have a tote bag if i'm like bringing an important thing somewhere like oh i have a i have a game cube that's true or something me and aiden we're backpack guys i'm a backpack guy my we're backpack guys of course you look fucking ugly my girlfriend is straight up told me it's an ick and i'm like yeah i'm a backpack guy you're locking it in yeah hey if you want to leave doors over there is my backpack i'm not getting rid of that you're kind of a backpack guy like uh like a like boston bomber like you though your hat and backpack combo because you wear tech backpacks yeah are concerning on cctv cams yes yeah you you look like you just killed the ceo do i have the book i'm reading for lemonade stand or the gun i'm shooting a healthcare ceo it's hard to say but we're interviewing him so anything could happen dude okay it's a it's maybe not lemonade stand but a concept podcast where you bring on like rich people like mark anderson and shit and then uh at the end dude that'd be more than one episode you would try yeah you film them all at once and then they slowly drop out oh my god it'd be so good yeah only joe rogan can truly do this at the moment my god wait it's you trending on twitter again no it's so funny hey guys okay yeah dude i was it so it was we we are finishing up from yesterday yesterday was the last day of the marathon which is crazy then we did two dnds it's been it's been busy we're getting fucking bent over today but the it was like at the end of the day yesterday i think most of you guys were gone and i'm like looking for the underwear that yingling bought me and i'm looking for it and dan's like packing shit up and and it felt like summer was over yep it was the end of summer camp it felt like i was going back to school next month you are wanted i wanted to go back to school no i look i wanted to go back to school too but i also i'm gonna miss it because this is the last time we're ever why do you keep fucking saying that why do you say that we could just sleep together you keep saying this last time we're ever gonna do this we just do it again sidebar it hurts yep i think he's a little hurt that you might not ever sleep with him again i and the thing is it's possible we sleep together again of course of course it's unlikely we all sleep together whatever they're saying there might not be i think it's fair bears bears uh i can't even hear spider-man brand new day great movie came to mind spider-man oversight odyssey sidebar over it could happen again it could happen again yeah so why do you keep saying never because it's unlikely and i like to grapple with that i like to fight in the ring of maybe it's the last time you know you know what made me sad at the end of the cds marathon i did feel like shit i was i was like so excited to sleep in my own bed but i was like sad because i was like we may never do this again like the cs marathon part we maybe we will maybe whatever but i was like i hope we do it again someday it was really fun but i also was like if we are gonna do it again low-key i should play less counter-strike kind of the same like the same way that beat-off works like if i if i because making beats was fun and i'd like to do that more but if i do it more i kind of can't show up for the beat you're smurfing i'm smurfing now so it's like okay i won't learn how to make beats so that i can only do it every time we do the beat-off but with this with counter-strike if if we continue to play counter-strike and rank up that challenge becomes like increasingly more impossible the other side of this is me and ludwig get way better or you two play the shit out of counter-strike yeah but then the challenge kind of doesn't exist in a weird way buddy i give you a month what i give you a month buddy and what a month before i leapfrog you that way by the before i leapfrog you i believe i believe you could do that he's 16.6 right now yeah i you can i plummeted his rank i think you could do that a month 16k i think is doable yeah oh and you mean by the number oh yeah yeah by the skill like no no he could grind me out and fucking i won't even try to test that okay give him i think you could pass 16k a month i just you can't play you can't play please don't please i won't find something else to do dude i'm not gonna fucking lie these chubby shorts are so comfortable i know i don't think that's how you're oh my god you know you hate when you use conditioner and it like gets it's like too much softness in your hair i know how that do you know how that feels because like oh man i got too much conditioner in my hair right now well you know are those the trunks what are you talking about are you wearing the trunks on your head no you're talking about chubby's trunks i'm wearing them under the blanket but i can see but i can see them oh my god i say i hate you know what i also hate dry shampoo okay who makes that well they look really lightweight and comfortable but i don't think you're supposed to wear them there i'm wearing these here you realize that like i'm wearing something to you okay this is not my hair yeah i'm wearing the chubby's on my head and i can oh right oh my god dude i didn't i thought it was your hair and i can also tell you that they are as comfortable on my genitals as they are on the genitals of my mind which is my head my skull i thought yeah well chubby's has casual shorts too if that matters to you i'm wearing them right now and they're and they're very honestly they look like i could wear them kind of anywhere but they feel as comfortable as like something i could sleep in that's cool i could wear this anywhere if i wanted you should you shouldn't they fit like you've had them for ages from the first wear i'm not gonna lie that's actually that part is actually true that was my first thought putting them on was yeah yeah nick whatever do they have fun designs yeah look up there's a fun design in the room with us hammerhead sharks and they have soft flexible and incredibly uh quick drying fabric and um i can't believe i definitely throw these on as daily drivers nick i can't believe i can't believe i fooled you you thought you fooled me no man you thought something had happened my appearance changed i fooled you i you fooled me and for a limited time don't you could you could you would be fooling yourself if you didn't go to chubby's because they're giving our viewers 20 off their entire order with our code the yard at chubby's shorts.com that's code of the yard at chubby's shorts.com and show uh show tom we sent you you're a you're a disgusting cow yeah i hope for you how because i thought it was hair how humiliating that's so humiliating i'm so embarrassed this happens all the time thank you chubby's are you okay so are you gonna cap this off because what i found interesting is i asked you all if you had a deeper love or hatred for counter-strike at the end of it and everybody said they liked the game more yeah i do i think i mean the frustrating part the biggest frustrating part of the marathon which i talked about was like the elo spread made our opponents some most of the time too strong for me to handle and i felt like i wasn't accurate i wasn't even grappling and engaging with the game i was just getting my mouth filled with poop from a butt yeah and i couldn't and that's kind of stuck because like you guys are interacting but me and josh and ludwig were just kind of felt like it weren't and it wasn't the game of counter-strike unfortunately it was a different part of it uh and i was stuck that was the worst part of it everything else fine playing whatever also playing with streaming with the delay is such a it's terrible yeah i hate it yeah it's like you're not even streaming well it's funny because like i'm i guess conventionally the streamer here right like i stream the most consistently i didn't fucking read chat more than three times like i didn't mind the delay at all you just let it rock i shouldn't give a shit it made it made streaming fun for me because i hate streaming yeah i just feel like so i'm so bad at it but with the delay i was like oh i couldn't feasibly reply to anyone i don't have to yeah i just didn't reach out yeah that's awesome someone i knew i fucking love reading chat i love it he loves it he had my chat open i would be in this is real this did happen don't get defensive oh we'd be in game and i would see slime band and then someone's in your chat yeah in my chat that's skill yeah don't ever say that you don't have like mechanics i will say this i have flicks you've never seen that the the clip of like what it looks like to watch faker play league on his actual monitor that exact comment it's so funny alt tab click up well you know i was i was playing street fighter in between our breaks and stuff and i was playing street fighter but the cue would pop so i'm like i'm not gonna not cue with these guys so i'd have to tab out of the game hit cue and go back to the match i did it during street fighter a guy's coming down on me from a jump i perfect parry and kill him clip of the clip of the tournament dude it wasn't even that's incredible it was so sick you've been playing some dog shit street fighter no what do you mean i was i'm playing really bad yeah just like necessarily to like be able to swap and you get a game and you have to pop while it's happening like every time that's slow i think i have like four seconds of non-action and maybe i was getting comboed sure it's just one okie situation it worked but uh yeah otherwise it was like man i could do that for a while okay so end of this year yes because i i didn't realize this until i read a reddit comment that you did this with leak you did the mega marathon with connor yes moved basically no elo 100 rr but then later that same year you made the push for platt yes and you did it yes so is ludwig's solo cs2 week going to happen well i never did like a solo week for league i just played a lot he just played it i just went to bed it was called league week was it no league week was the one with connor that was the marathon if you will this analogy yeah and then i played a lot of league at the end of the year to hit platt but i didn't have a league week at the end of the year do you remember when connor wait was that was that the week with connor yeah when the off-brand stuff was happening uh i don't think because connor was also there weirdly enough that was for streamer awards okay yeah that was that week bro he was just playing a shitload of league on and off stream yeah that's why tim would just stream his off-stream games with like a five minute delay and it was like riveting because but there was no ludwig there there was no mic there was no camera it was just watching him do something way far away and watching his amumu bandage just clear miss of two guys dude you can't even talk shit i fucking carried our well josh carried the normal but i played amazing you played good i loved the league normal was tilting the fuck out of me because like ludwig it was literally the hr meme ludwig would all everyone be like goddamn ludwig fucking awesome two seconds before that happened i would vex all in and kill two and then fear everyone into him and everyone like no one even saw it happen yeah and i was just like and i'm like this like you don't see that got three yeah it's like nah yeah you're doing all right man i'm pretty good not bad i had the highest cs of the game too yeah i definitely saw you hitting the minions i was smacking my asses that's good got it got so i don't even have the helper on but i do think that there is always space for something like this like maybe if we all if we get a little we try we try the marathon again but with newfound powers and all the things we've learned you know what i think i had this idea uh towards the end of the marathon we do it again at some point but day five is on stage dude that's crazy imagine how fucking fun it would be with a crowd of people watching you play premiere and you go up against like a cheater and you gotta take out t-shirt cannons to like pass time and stuff that's such a good idea it would be so that'd be the first time someone watched online premiere games on a stage you pulled up your phone like you got gas lit i did get gas lit i did get gas what is it it was called that it was called that because it was it was later in the year off-brand is like financially collapsing we're figuring out that mogul moves has all this financial rot yes and off-brand is figuring out that it has no money and we're in this dire time where like me the off-brand leads we're meeting every day figuring out how to handle it's this huge transition point and it was ludwig was in the middle of league week we called it league week even though it was the second one no it was the one you played it was by yourself you're doing what was called league week and i remember it was called that because every time i went into an off-brand meeting that you couldn't go to and i had to represent you everybody was like i was like i'm not sure and then somebody was like all right league i remember this vaguely as league week this is starting to come together we just called it league week again it was another league week but at the worst time ever and it was a marathon yes you're playing league every day solo but it wasn't like was it like i was playing league every day like not ending stream you were playing league every day from 11 a.m until 2 a.m so i just had two league weeks you had a setup here it was i think it was on new year's night new year's eve and it was like it was nighttime so i think there was like a party to go to or something and you're playing a league game and i was like how's this going for you and you were fighting baron i still remember this and you said this is the worst fucking decision i've ever made in my life to go for this goal you were so mad and it wasn't no one was else around to hear that and i'm like damn must be on a loss streak but that's what i want to know it's like is that gonna be is the dark dubbin gonna be grinding cs2 what is dark about somebody grinding for achieving a goal that they have you just turn into dark dubbin why is there an ai over you league week two no but league week two why does ai know this oh it's because it's crawling from but it's wrong for both because yeah week one was with connor and league week two was with connor but i guess there was a league week 1.5 dude i'm telling you bro sam altman comes on the podcast you ask him all these interesting awesome questions about ai and then he never leaves the building yeah you know what i mean yeah you put a name to the analogy do you care that much about this goal i think i think this is what i'm gonna do i'll be i'm gonna be playing counter-strike probably even tonight i'm gonna play with tonight oh sure he's a great teacher and then and then i'm gonna start watching some videos because i'm going i'm going on a trip but is the next time i get to play counter-strike with earth warrior when it's a challenge no we can play i will do it with you any day actually any day because you told me one day you wouldn't in the other game with the same mechanic yeah he told me one day i'd never sleep with him again he says shit like this that hurts us he does say it but sometimes the world changes and we marvel at the beauty and today's that day uh but the galaxy sees no i think i'm gonna play i'm gonna add it a little bit to the schedule today maybe day here day there and then i'll probably start a like a more serious push a little later this year we gotta change your sense and you skyrocket i don't think that's right it is bro it is to what to what so you're right now you're 400 point 800 you said 400 on 800 oh you're 800 i'm 800.8 oh that's different then you can you can put that sense am i saying 400 no no he said 400 i said 800 he said 400 oh you didn't say you didn't correct him nah that's smart let him yeah you let him yap and you keep him thinking you keep him thinking and i sat there and i go you're higher than me when you want to start fucking jacking off on there i'll jack off with you because we can grow together and i think that's a much more i'll do that it's a much more interesting environment to play in games that when you're trying to get better at a game usually in fighting games you like you want to play someone who's a little better than you and a little worse than you and you want to play someone who's a little better than you and a little worse than you in that range because a little better you start applying things that you've learned and a little worse you know you get it right yeah a little worse you can like refine the things you already know you know but if it's outside of those brackets you're playing someone so much better than you you're not interacting with the game and on the bottom end of that you're like practicing different stuff because you're passing time yeah you can just be you can be worse you can make worse decisions and still profit and get rewarded which is dangerous i think there is an effect though if you like when you take the game seriously if you're against people who are better than you but they're not smurfing which i think is like an important distinction then there is someone on the other team that isn't better than you because that's why you're in the lobby you know assuming no smurfs sure um because it's like okay you got the guy who's 20k but you also have the guy someone's got to be worse well someone's got to be the worst someone is the literal worst but there's someone who is in that range of slightly better slightly worse in your lobby assuming no smurfing so a lot of the game you're probably like learning passive things you're learning how do i throw the right flash for my teammate how do i get the flashes down so i can be the guy who throws it so like aiding can entry or how can i um like learn to have better map awareness so i know when this happens here it probably means that happened there um and then when you i think there's an effect where when you do this where you go back to your normal elo and you play in those games and you feel like thanos yeah you crush because you're just like i've been i just i'm rock lee i took the weights off yes yeah that that is an effect for sure that's what i felt like what would happen if you know about right now that analogy alone and the clips on like shorts and nothing else i don't even know what rockley looks like i was gonna say like everybody knows that analogy i don't know i don't know i've seen the clips where he takes them off and it's like yep and he drops and then everybody and then it pants every character he was fighting naruto oh no no the guy that's okay no no no i know that he kind of closer in a weird way he still loses yes is it red hair shanks it is a red-haired guy is that rock lee that is no that is uh rock lee's teacher guy sensei who's that cat uh that's one of the sand ninja is that rock lee that's rock lee and they're like who cares who cares about the little weights they're just falling like paper oh that's cool that's who he's fighting that's gara oh this guy has got to be the profile picture of so many racist guys on counter-strike oh my god no it's more these days kidua because gara's too old older reference for most kids who are racist it's gonna be kilo from hunter hunter i hate yeah i hate that that's the valorant uh going dark do not hit me up going dark dnd on skype or you click dude i clicked into so many profiles to check for cheating during our thing where i would click in and then the entire profile was like jiggly anime girl yep and i was just like i feel like i've been double owned where i'm i'm not only thinking this guy's cheating but now i put that on my stream there was one guy that i think it was our very last game of the day he said he he's saying oh you guys are in la whole place city bad traffic shitty shit his tag was wholesome gamer with a heart i was wholesome gamer and then and then at the end of it he's like yeah good luck living in la and when you when you want to leave you won't be able to oh he also said come fight me in az twink yeah i look at his profile and he said like six to 190 pound white american living in arizona and then it was like details about his truck that he said he fully paid off and so as my final act uh of martyrdom i went on his profile and i was like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry and said one day you're going to kill yourself in a field and nobody's going to care and that capped off the cs2 marathon i would i will say that that'd be hard to do in arizona yeah he'll find it not a lot of fields not a field it's just so great like those are the kind of people because steam you know you have a steam profile like you kind of get a glimpse into those people like league doesn't have that it's funny to have a profile at all i don't think i have one like curated in a way information yes like new hampshire oh does it yeah i guess that's like default location when you start it or something mine says heroes of new earth champion 99 99 game one out uh yeah that guy lives in scottsdale for sure sometimes you hit a really clean cleanly designed steam profile and you're like damn that's kind of cool like they really like they figured out all the item showcase boxes and it looks pretty clean and then it's just like but i'm never ever ever gonna do that myself it's people i think people make a facebook profile who like don't have irl gaming friends not that a knock on them or anything it's just like if most of your gaming friends are just guys that you met online i think you're really in your steam profile the clean steam profile setup is like a bunch of people you love playing games within the friends list and then one funny line under a funny profile picture and a list of history of funny names yeah yeah that's just the clean setup as clean as it gets i think the only profile i checked was the old guy oh yeah that was awesome oh you know that one old gamer you know what fucking sexual tension i've noticed on counter-strike oh yeah is how okay aiden he used to be piggy too uh-huh why is that because there was piggy one yeah yeah that was nick engling nick engling changed his name from piggy one on steam and aiden had piggy two for quite a long time after that okay dude and when i look over at that i think well nick engling's not really playing counter-strike anymore maybe that's just the end of the piggy relationship that aiden's just kind of clinging on to the gucci backpack i look at nick engling's monitor today he's playing counter-strike he told me at the beginning of the marathon because we fixed he says because we fixed the networking at the office that he's back after abandoning and aiden changed his name from piggy to this tournament or this marathon back to authentic beverage an older name that one he's already used it's funny to go back it could have been moonsand number one buyer it could have been venmo mouse broke will venmo for fix i remember these names because they stick around for a while i will be earth warrior for maybe a month it was so easy i love how we just all called you it for the rest of the event it was the most fun thing to say yeah after any round yeah you can't cry authentic oat beverages cleanly my name was tough to say i was saying i was saying it quite a lot i was saying it's an authentic oat beverage uh i okay me me and josh were hashing this out after the marathon was over i saw you guys having a therapy session yes because i made josh scared it's your therapist session it's your therapy session but your therapist was telling you to fucking go along and you never did so now it's time i want it's the opposite of the compliment circle uh-huh i want one actionable feed piece of feedback as a leader circle actionable actionable piece of feedback it sounds like you want to critique bukkake because you want us all to critique bukkake but it has to be actionable it can't be your voice sounds that way well you could change it yeah we can get you on some shit oh we have pills software instruments yeah yeah yeah change a couple mic settings we'll get you sounding basically like james me and because i i apologize to josh because he was we he i remember the moment yes all right you ain't gonna bring i already know yeah i already know because i saw and i looked at his face because that was my job this marathon was the vibe bringer yeah and i had to bring it and that was the one time i was like i don't know if i can bring him back well when i said what the fuck was that josh no when after the game he went and he was sitting in that blue chair right there by himself and i walked in because i knew he was in here and i went i went how you doing kiddo anyway i just need a minute i went all right he said he wasn't having fun being a lemming talked about this as well we were the worst players on the team unfortunately besides like weirdly had these moments i think is he he bought shotgun and played positionally and me and josh didn't want to do that well to be fair he wasn't josh was the third best player all right yes but i got third most mvps and it felt also it's like the spotlight is just less on josh for these moments because you know he's not ludwig and so but we talked about it and i i was explaining to him like he's playing yeah i mean aiden made me feel like shit and all this stuff and i'm like my journey through this is like i've had too many arguments in discord with friends about tax shooters i'm too old i'm not doing this anymore like you remember bro we literally had to have bobby siege like moderate our conversations and have like have a feelings circle where i remember one time we all got done talking to each other about how he felt and bobby said okay a lot of really powerful things were said tonight i remember him saying do you remember the great our lineup scale debate oh my god i remembered it yeah because ludwig asked me during the marathon he was like he was like is it like cheating to like put uh like have like the lineups just show on the map like while you're playing and i literally like went back in time for a moment i was like yeah yeah the line of the lineup argument is the frame data in the fighting game displayed on the move cheating this is the lights debate of our private friendship yeah like it was a real like we all really disagreed on this as a as like yeah there was a great divide in the in the what whether or not uh uh correct me if i'm wrong whether or not lineups are considered part of the skill of learning counter-strike yeah or something that is like shouldn't be considered the skill and it's just something you should be able to like what you were saying like a monkey could just learn to overlay it like on this on i think when you boot in there's an overlay that says throw it here i think there's an important backdrop to this debate in hindsight which is that we're all morons like everybody is like gold nova at best yeah i in cs i peaked gold nova 3 in hindsight everybody was being dumb like it's like it but at the time it was like there was a riff drinking well just grape juice fucking swilling it around literally the best the best counter-strike player we knew was davey davey yeah yeah it was like a modern day like i don't know at the time it was like dmg at the time so so we did have hierarchy like a 16 17k player there were like guys who were kind of allowed to tell us like i remember we got in a big argument and neeper messaged he he tweeted at the war owl and i was like i'm like bro why'd you why'd you tweet the war owl and he's he actually had a good point he was like he's probably the most person most likely to respond to me because he's like a cs youtuber not like a pro or whatever um but so yeah these conversations and the arguments have happened and i have gone through too many of these and i fortunately have spent enough time around you guys two things have happened in my life over the past fucking like six years one i've accepted the ego death that i'm not as good at games as you guys right now and maybe i could be one day maybe i won't be but that doesn't matter and also that you guys i started out better at games and then you guys got better which can hurt the ego you have this feeling it's like well i started out better and then what he like he like went past me and i used to like hate that i don't care anymore i do not care and i spent enough time around you guys where i also trust what you're saying so when you're yelling at me about some bullshit i'm like guess i was wrong i don't care but josh isn't he doesn't spend enough time around us to feel that trust and also no one likes getting yelled at and also no one likes feeling like they're not impacting the game i think an important extra distinction for josh is that he is normally the one better than everyone else he's better that he is he has top 10 in one of the hardest games the game we all love the most yeah he is oh skill level we will never be yes and i think it never got close to when when any probably anything and if you put him into a game where it is you alone versus someone else alone he has traditionally been able to like show that like i can be better than you at that so i think to be put into a system that doesn't function that way and not succeed immediately i think is also probably hard like to just i know what it feels like to be shit at a new game it's like i felt playing league like i was playing league and i was seeing the rank iron god and i was just like you i've never been this bad at league you'd be like dude it's it's the fucking hell i can't get out it's so unlucky it was in a way it was crazy that both of us were one game away from getting gold and then it took us like a month to get gold oh dude it's crazy that both it happened to both of us it's crazy that i think it was game game 30 or 34 or something like that i was one away yeah i didn't get it until game 300 yeah it was it can happen to you it's fucked up so so i was explaining this to josh and this concept was like i'm very fortunate to have all that has been really hard and really annoying but also that i've spent enough time where it's like he's like yeah it made me feel bad in this one moment also i think our crash shots weren't even that bad we're pretty good at communicating they were very fair and i was like he's a maybe feel bad and i said aiden could never make me feel that way but not in that way i said i don't have the emotional faculty to wound you if we were if we're in emotional battle i simply am not capable but there was a moment remember it was it was a ramp and me and aiden i always said you cannot yell at me for that because he's like i'm first out it's my biggest pet peeve i'm first out and i was the one that was behind everyone why is that and i said you cannot yell at me about that there was a molly we we broke down the vod because i didn't feel like it was fair turns out i made a mistake i went up on flowerpot that was where i shouldn't have even been and i was like you know what all good and it made sense and these are the kind of like things i'm doing now but it took so long i destroy this ego of me i i think i'm in the same boat i think i have no ego please go on don't you go in counter-strike in in any game okay you know i i understand where i sit right and i'm quite confident on those facts no man no man you're bullshit how the fuck did he get to say no one freaks the fuck out and i said everything he said i felt was from the heart it was thoughtful and it's real because they know the old you were in the discord back in the days these calls were like they were like friendship i would i would spend the next two days feeling like shit yeah that i yelled at my friend dude i wouldn't be able to handle those calls i think i'm fucking well some people were silent and they just sat there and then they would listen other people engaged and other people we went to battle we gotta discuss a problem dude right now i mean they're gone we can discuss whatever we want well he's gone this particular because if you watch the premium episode you know josh's on the episode and have you seen how he eats josh yeah yeah dude it's disgusting it's like mo it's like if he could have an iv bag of hot chicken he would just do that but instead he has to eat it i watched him uber eats from lowe's for lunch dude wood again he got wood and he was eating like a like a two by four yeah yeah he started doing this he thought it was hot chicken yeah he pours hot sauce on it and it seems fine okay we should solve this we should solve it and i have an idea it's starting to hurt his body i think we should just get him a hunger subscription because i think that would work because because it's high quality and nutritious food which is way better than a two by four over 1 000 grocery items which he wants options right i think that's why he likes the phone yeah the phone gives him everything because sometimes he gets uh quick crete as well and he'll just eat that like cereal yeah he'll eat it like cereal okay i have an idea we get the hungry root box okay we we with the marker we rewrite hot hungry root we write hot hungry now with quick crete yes he will be irresistible to him we put a little quick crete in it for real we will put it ourselves he can tell when it gets stuck in his teeth it won't come with the quick crete but yeah and then whatever's in the box which is you know the smoothie sweets salad kits ready to eat meals supplements everything a growing boy actually they even have kids snacks if it is someone like josh would love a little car with a snack in it like parisian ham and uh put a swiss baguette or the scallop ceviche you can even feed him vegan super chorizo tacos and be like yep it's chicken it's chicken bro you can't tell the difference so for a limited time get 40 off your first box plus get a free item in every box for life go to hunger.com slash the yard and use code the yard that's hungry.com slash the yard code of the yard for 40 off your first box and a free item of your choice for life how about this hot hungry root.com slash the yard code the yard just do that instead company hey brand hey how about you make it hot the guy who has to check this and make sure it's good just add that just purchase that domain make it hot so our friend josh won't die of eating wood a lot and we'll see you in the episode again i you seem like a guy who'd go to battle do what i do it at the courts yeah it is true when it came to when it came to shooters and stuff i i i was a real dude totally guy like i don't need it i don't need to do this with you dude totally you're right like whatever you know that's also engaging it is it's it's jabbing because it's just like because i'm it's me saying i know i'm right and i think you're dumb but i don't want to talk to you about it yeah and i'm like i'm like yeah dude totally you're right which if you're in a certain if you're a certain personality that's the worst thing you want to hear of course you're like no no no i need to prove something and the guys like yeah you're right no no you come back already got me got it by the balls a lot of my last confessional it was about what you you are saying right now a little bit what it was me psychoanalyzing you as a gamer yeah because i feel there was a there was a shift in ludwig the gamer around when you became a massive streamer where i always historically have viewed you as someone who is in like the waiting room of being really good at a game like you could just be really good at a game if you really wanted to because you you've always shown to be really good at learning like i've always said ludwig's really good at getting to the b level of any game really fast yeah but that changed but not because you couldn't still do it but because you don't care to do it anymore you know i think you prefer to be guy who's bad at games and then defy those expectations with a goal then you care to be the best you could be at a game well i think i think the journey of getting to above average is much more fun than the journey of getting to good true potential yeah because that like then it's like oh my god i'm not gonna be able to do it anymore like what the fuck are we doing here like going from like i don't know like 18k to 22k cs2 is like infinitely more boring to me than going from like 8k to 18k which is probably like similar time in but is it more boring nakey jakey video the journey the journey of i call it the journey of getting okay at something yes and that's i think that's a journey correct me if i'm wrong his journey is more the journey of not going from 18 to 20 of going from 0 to 20 but also like zero like being someone who is new and bad at something to being what other people consider good at something he also doesn't want to end his journey right like that's just the story he told because that's where he for the video yes but his goal in the video was that but he's still in the journey yeah but it's not going to be another video sure sure sure but like i i'm usually will give up on the game like i did this i've done it with league okay to plat and i did with minecraft to gold and i'll do it with cs2 to 16k but that i don't i don't find the same joy in going farther you have to love the game a lot to keep playing it like i still it's funny to compare it please don't laugh i stopped playing bellatro and then i just started playing again i like the game enough to be like well i guess i'll just go for the new challenge and if if if you are just magnetized to a game you will naturally start getting bigger goals but if the goal itself is the experience then it's like you don't want to have to chew through a game you don't really like playing and that's what solo qcs did feel like i think it's also not realistic for your life like it's not realistic for you to grind the 20k it's also much worse for my job that's what i mean yeah that's what i mean is that like you that would the amount of time in you would need you would need to play off stream but the old you the old you is super capable of that like putting more than the average person yeah i think you're like i actually think you're better at getting good at games than i am i think you get to the b level of games faster than aiden does yeah or at least prime ludwig does the only thing i'm okay at is like gritting my teeth through the you'll grind you'll play the fuck out of the game i was on the on my cs video someone replied they're like i'm so it's so feels so awesome to be like double the rank of uh of a guy on youtube or something and i'm like yeah bro i bet when you hit your 20k you tried to send it to your friends and they low-key were like okay cool and there's a very there's it's very fortunate to like hit for myself i'm a middling piss rank and have it be celebrated and interesting because the alternative is like playing these games alone for the most part a lot and then when you hit your goal it you better be happy internally about it because otherwise you post on your ex with 65 followers and have them are bots and no one cares um and then you lose it because they get rid of it yeah and then they fight and then it resets and then maybe you buy more skins and you're part of this like fucked up machine of a hot well skin make it feel a little better that extracts wealth from you the skin made me feel better that day we'd like we'd like end the game probably lost it i'd be sitting there i look over at ludwig and i'm like oh we're booting up all right let's get next game then all right cool just let me know he's like yeah and the next game like cool man cool man i could use it i could use it bro got two new knives no mine's for you i know but you got a temp i got to use one yeah to my loan every single time slime opened his nomad and cut his finger and went i fucking cut his finger trying to say it really i literally believed it every i believed it every time me too i was like so concerned because like the fourth time i heard i was like how is he doing it was one of the only things he said earnestly that was not also said angrily the entire week yeah i i'd be like i'd be like fuck there's two outside or no it would happen while i was alive it's mostly at a spawn and be like okay i'm gonna drop a sock cut my fucking finger every time i believed it literally every time i was like oh my god i'm gonna drop a sock cut my fucking finger every time i would just shake my head something about the delivery it took me so long to get to the point where i realized you were talking about the knife i only found out after you showed me the animation yeah it's cool uh i was watching like the comedy compilations day two highlights i don't know if you guys have seen that one i've seen the second one but there's a clip i'm singing um josh's uh mvp song think i need a dopamine hit but i said uh i like sex if it is with a guy and lovely just goes he was giving me a little like a little like silent head thing and it killed me watching it there's so many funny moments that were completely missed just by like not being able to watch everyone's faces yeah dude i i the mic was so shit i think the stream product i kind of cared about but then i had to not care about it anymore because like but i re-watched some of it and it's like this mic is like it's like worse than a tyler one mic which is unfortunate it's like it's for gaming it's not for fucking you know streaming or whatever i had the opposite it's a great gaming headset i like the way that it works when i'm gaming with it the noise canceling was perfect i'm not i i will give my unbiased review sure oh no not in my experience using it my experience watching the clips with it on i was like everything's funnier oh you think so i was genuinely because i've always been like oh the people who like stream with like like the the table ronaldo or the tyler one headsets and like cope you're coping that this makes you interesting i'm now sold that it actually is funnier okay yeah i mean there is a charm to it uh because i would just hear my voice through ludwig's perspective and i'm saying something really stupid and i was like the fact that it sounds bad is also it sounds like someone in the game is saying it yeah i think that texture is what makes it funnier i i and i was thinking on the way here i was like what if they made a a fucking crazy headset that had like this condenser quality mic in it yeah that would change the planet imagine they're like five guys it's it's still the same size and it holds yes we don't know how microphones work do not pretend you know how a condenser mic works they could probably make it this small i feel like you could repackage it so it'd be like a helmet like a beer helmet yeah it's all happening back yes dude i don't know the engines in the back because i think microphones are an interesting case where like you can't offload the size to some processing part like like yes the size of the mic is how the sound comes in you know like five films where they have like a huge like casing or like helmet on that has like tubes coming out the back yeah and it's like that but it's the xlr cable going back the main mass like predator i i also was frustrated like i couldn't i i have this problem in these tax shooters which has always been the case because it's funny it's happening in valorant when i played that which forever ago i like looking at my screen and listening and talking is too hard and i don't i but i want to do it so bad and then i end up doing all of them kind of poorly i'll ghost come i will uh not listen to something and i'll not hit something this trifecta of horse shit and then you get what i was in the tournament or in the land i was just kind of a a guy who was like a bot i describe myself as a vision bot that would give you information and sometimes he would kill the guy like a drone but most of the time he wouldn't and i was like i guess that's me you were another case of the i think you would benefit from a sensitivity change too i love my sense though too high you love you love flicking around it's too high because you're too shaky so you're prone to over flick because you have such a natural movement of your hands that like the higher your sense goes the more variance there is of little movements so i think i think it's why you like the scout so much because it's kind of like falcon stomp it's like i either hit it or i don't yeah yeah yeah there's not a mystery of a spray of like was that me was that the game was that the gun was that the secret on elevation flick is just like whoops yeah you know i i coin flipped and i lost you love that in games you love to boil things down to like or yeah boil things down like their simplest forms and it's just this or that and then be okay with either result it's funny because a scout is funny because it's like it's even more like an op is like it feels worse because you have a better gun than them a scout you have a worse gun than them but you have the power to still be better if you hit the little grape you hit the grape they die great pop yeah if you find the clitoris they your enemy died they come themselves yeah i got a lot to to figure out so i want to get better your question was actionable feedback for you that's what i asked i asked josh because i think i did go into this with some intentionality of i'm the edge igl so and i'm playing with a stack of people that you know has very different skill levels and abilities to approach the game like there's only so much improvement we can do over the course of this week right so things need to be realistic i and i tried i really i really tried i think to not be the crash outer i think you did a really good job i do too i'm not even fucking i want to preface i think you did a really good job i'm asking as an as an igl who will continue to igl yep i'm asking for how can i be a better leader i would say it would be what you do out of game not in game yeah i think in game 10 out of 10 no notes right because i think you're doing everything you can while also actively playing yeah i think after a game is done you can take the time to be like we're not snap queuing i need to explain to all of you what you need to be doing on site in you know ancient ct okay you know and then go through one by one okay which is which is also like a big ask too because that's like ultimately but like i think what happens is you do that during the games or at least you call out when people aren't doing what they should be doing and so i think people are finding out by doing errors and then getting like you know corrected to the right spot than being told this is the right spot yeah i think let me fucking say for one which is unfortunate i said i was always the guy who's like no let's not smash let's not smash let's learn something first yeah and the smash the smash call went through we're smash guys josh said smash you said he did not say smash but he didn't have but he also was he was like let me lie down he needed a mo yeah he would go he would go take some scrolls he would he would go to laptop read the slack and i i can't blame him for that i do think there was not an effort in this environment to sit and teach us certain things to do because i spent day five i was having so much trouble on ancient and i woke up early i was just fucking around on ancient and i learned all the b smokes on ancient and i learned all the utility i was wondering when you learned that because you came into that day he was like i can throw the smokes on asia yeah there was never i did also hear that and i was like funny this got brought up day five there was never a nice day one yeah well there was also never a direction to be like someone needs to learn these smokes they're really easy let's do that and i was wondering why right because i also to be fair i didn't want to eat my vegetables either i think i actually came in with that expectation too of like this is a short amount of time and there's only so much we can like realistically learn about the game and also i think for like in your case i got the vibe that you don't really like want to be overloaded with things about improvement because you don't expect to play a lot after this and i don't i don't mean that as an insult i mean like it's we're we're making the best with like the tools we have in front of us and we're going to improve marginally over the course of this event but like trying to do walkthroughs of each map and like like me trying to teach like how defaulting works or trying to do a bunch of utile across a bunch of sites when it's there's a one in six chance we're going to be on that map it's more like figured that was like against the spirit of the marathon and being live like in my head and maybe i should have done it more i i do think that learning simple utility setups went a long way but i had to do that myself yeah which is fine i just i i thought that i honestly thought more of the marathon would be that like which weeks was there that day and i i said tell me how to play mini flex and he did and i liked that a lot not that we didn't do that but i was like i just thought there would be more of that instead of smashing q but let me be clear yeah smashing q feels really good i i'm happy with the result of the marathon i i'm yeah because it's hilarious yes exactly it's plus two is that's what i'm saying it's it's funnier than plus one and it's funnier than plus three i thought about that i literally thought about the i don't know why i said to myself is plus three funnier i'm like no it's not the best possible number plural but the least amount of yes that's exactly why it's also funnier than plus a thousand yeah or plus two thousand by a shit ton and and like you know i think if we do all the shit where we get like because the result would have been different if we had done that but i don't think it would have been crazy i think if we were like four games away there's a world where we potentially played a little more yeah yeah we might have been like well let's just see if we can do it before midnight there was no gas in the tank on the last night okay so my actionable criticism is when you do this express frustration your tone just gotta has to be different it's a tone thing okay everything else pretty much fine again i wasn't i never minded being yelled at except for that ramp thing and then we proved it later while we were calm yeah which i'm like i'm actually i'm learning here but nick is actually really good at this i think when he says this isn't working we need to try this instead of you guys need to be out with me that doesn't that's like not you have to say it differently sure and that's pretty much it that's it otherwise i think it's hard to hide frustration i think that's that's a tough it's not about hiding it it's more about expressing it in a more constructive way while also still being frustrated because we're all frustrated or an actionable way like an immediately actionable way where it's like you know you say something that can be not what you did wrong but what despite what you did or didn't do wrong now what you can do next round that will potentially work better also dude after round it's like you don't have time to do anything else but talk about this new round and we had chat and we had talking about mistakes yeah i think we rattled that off pretty good later on in the marathon but a lot of time was spent in those 15 seconds being like no i did that because i thought this is a tight 15 and it's it's really hard it's hard for us at 15 is so that's at everybody food okay these are these are good these are good i'm becoming a better i will become a better leader and i'll be a better leader bro you lid the fucking pack bro some some i the truly magical game was when j squad a group of oregon melee players sniped us and the vibes were at some of their lowest because people were angry i really didn't like one guy on that team everyone else i didn't know i didn't really care and but that was like it was the guy you called a pedophile tilting me and then yeah i caught a pedophile we were we were down by a lot it was nine three and a half yeah and we carved back a win and and that was that was my favorite that was my favorite one because it was like we we overcame the odds and then i got to go in the discord after and say ggs oh my god ggs i kind of like the idea of getting sniped by people that we know yeah yeah like his az squad was trying to snipe us and shit and i'm like like if i see yusuf load into that game i'm like it's time to kill dude it was funny to get like the guy in the chair phone call from yingling on day one he's like he's like i need you to know i need you to know i'm looking at discord and there are four different calls of people trying to snipe you guys right now and i was like name names and he's like i won't do it just know that they're out there yingling is such a half narc bro i know he just wants to stir the pot he's a gross goss he's a goss yes to his heart he loves just stirring shit up nasty to see what the fumes smell like so do you think do you because i i did think about like okay i don't want to oh god i don't want to play more video games right now and uh but would we do this again with a different game or would we is it this the annual cs marathon no i don't think it's the annual cs marathon why not because i don't think cs2 is something that's going to be a part of my life in that way that i'd be keen in devoting that amount of hours i want to play this this is awesome please oh the idea the idea i told aiden that in the video i was like oh my god i don't want to be in the middle of it was like aiden these gaming setups here in the kitchen we just leave them and we do some that's crazy we do some yard we do some yard stacks and that's something that we post to like the yard channel it's like us stacking some game together once a week and the fifth player is a guest we get squeaks involved that kitchen is just a mess bro we play our fifths a racist pro player um i think but i think like a five stack land i mean that's always on the table but like i don't know i don't think it's a good idea i don't think it's a good idea i don't think it's a good idea i don't think it'll be cs2 yeah or at least not exclusively cs2 yeah i mean it'd be like the god gamer gauntlet i've always wanted to do that god gamer five stack gauntlet oh my god we don't get sniped like crate bro it would be impossible so doable though i don't think they all have to be five sec games yeah it'd be hard to find the list of games because it's a lot yeah can you imagine that game soon like we're the four of us playing dota it was you can do valo cs two league you could do dota you could do i think you could create watch right you could create yeah you can do overwatch you can create rules too though that are like we all queue fall guys and one of us has to win the lobby yeah what if it's like some of the games sometimes are one view like street fighter and it's like we have to choose a champion every rotation yeah it's like someone's turn and it'd be like you know you guys would have your accounts it'd be fair that would just get then it's eight his turn we just get no but he'd be playing bobs like him i don't - I raced my horse against Nick, he's horrible. - Cool. first day ever wasn't it 5-3 huh but it was 5-3 i know bro but you just couldn't fucking do the goddamn i was trying to do this is it i'd be like video games i wanted you to wake up and you just couldn't fucking hit it i would tell nick i'd be like dude do a quarter circle forward kick and then ken would do dragon lash and i'd say it because i just like dragon lab dragon lash while he was doing it i would tell him things that i just wanted ken to say i get why horse betters kill themselves because i'm fucking watching my horse just cripple walk down this track cursing under my breath it's crazy you say something so hurtful you know we're gonna spend all week together right well you were also trying to tell him what to do with rio you don't have any input we're gonna sleep together this i know wake up dp wake up dp i've committed to getting better at counter-strike okay i know i'm really good already you're already i know everyone agrees that i'm probably the star player is it really good probably really good probably like a thing 30k elo but i want to take the next level okay so i bought 10 leadify accounts all at once you bought 10 because the more data the better right yeah so i'll get 10 of them okay and they'll evaluate my data all differently and then i can learn from the data okay but what happens when you like maybe stop playing counter-strike and you just have like how are you going to remember that you have 10 leadify accounts well i don't think about that i'll just not use them anymore why don't you just quickly right now just download rocket money as well that way later when you definitely are going to forget that you did this preemptively just remind you that you have them no i'll probably play counter-strike every day for 10 years i don't think it wouldn't track historically rocket money by the way is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your soon-to-be unwanted subscriptions monitors your spending and helps lower your bills so that you can grow your savings which you definitely need to do i'm frankly and i'm not this is not a fucking bit on this ad right now i'm insulted why i'm insulted that you would say that i wouldn't play counter-strike and i wouldn't play counter-strike and i wouldn't play counter-strike every single day for 10 years for the next 10 years of my life and use these 10 leadify accounts it's not that i don't necessarily believe that it's just that you recently you spent your entire life savings on ray's unsweetened sauce dude why do you bring this up because it's so annoying because i think you have good reasons to see all your subscriptions in one place and potentially have a place to cancel them without having to do the work yourself it's just raised because it's not sweet anymore isn't that interesting right but you could get alerts right if the bills and uh increase in price and then rocket money will just handle canceling it for you look i know you're trying to work it look let me tell you this how will we make a bet in when i'm 46 years old if i haven't played counter-strike every single day and i haven't eaten ray's barbecue sauce every single day of my life you can kill me okay you can kill me the moment that i falter well i'll see you in three years let rocket money help you reach your financial goals get faster try for zero dollars at rocket money.com slash the yard that's rocket money.com slash the yard we are gonna sleep together this week me and aiden are going on a trip yeah what is this i'm going to germany's sponsor week sponsor week like league week it's uh like league week but i instead have a sponsor every single day and i make a crazy amount of money and i pay for my wedding whoa dude okay in a week can you get a clown for me can i get a clown i want a clown at the wedding i want you to pay oh i don't think so why not it's probably a clownless wedding i'm a groomsman do i get a clown no it's not because not every groomsman would get a clown if christian the best man wanted a clown does he get the clown no really yes what kind of wedding is this not really a wedding it's something else yeah something else more of a union okay i mean it's just the rules of the wedding are seem to be broken it's just they call it a civil yes civil union but yeah we're going to germany we're going to we're i don't even know why the fuck it is there i'll be honest are you just going because you want to go i'm going because i want to go a little bit no somebody needs to go like this would have been kelby if not me oh right and i need to go to like i needed to go to europe this weekend anyway i'm going to a bachelor party in poland that's you've already done this haven't you already gone to a bachelor party in poland no no this is the one aiden does a lot of travel slop yeah where he likes to combine a trip with another trip to make the value of leaving uh higher oh and more reasonable speaking of which now that we all have now that we all love counter shrike perhaps oh i know where you're going with this to go to the major in singapore perhaps you would like to join a trip to singapore is that is singapore where you're not allowed to have drugs that is correct that is correct they won't cut your head off though and you could and you could come with me brandon ewing and c-dog va and enjoy the why is connor going interesting that he's going what it is you know you sound jealous oh he's live let me ask him a question real quick let me just ask what he's why so i'm just suggesting in the vein of travel why is he why is he fucking going that'd be awesome because he thinks singapore is awesome and he wants to go how'd you ask him how did it even happen we talked to him about it at the after party are you talking to him why am i talking he's gonna flake on you he's not gonna go i know what you make him i know he's not gonna go he's not gonna go you see him upset that he might go hey girl it doesn't look good on you do you not like that excuse me he's my friend too he's my friend too yo's do this when is it it's in december it's like the second week of december oh okay thank you that was so quick uh that's it's so quick it was so hurtful what do you have to do what do you have to do i'm sorry you were right that was rude ask me again second week of december december 8th i think we're leaving i think it'd be after the big event that you might be worried about it i hate that face dude yes so nobody wants to go the w is for ours nobody wants to fucking go i want to go i said it would be awesome so you want to go yeah be awesome wait just put me on hold i gotta think about that direct flights yeah oh better i would like to take the walk to poland if we could go to poland together at some point too he wants to walk you want to go to crack out i want to be there and say i took the walk i'm just a travel hater bro what are you talking about i don't like traveling i thought you liked traveling did that change i don't like traveling because it ruins my schedule you're rich schedule bro yeah because of the schedule my fucking life and everything gets all fucked up and i get tired there's a five-day fucking gaming marathon now fuck up your life too you genuinely know i'm fine that's crazy because it that this is the same it was like the same thing as traveling in a way it was it did all the time and i'm like i'm not gonna be around for a while yeah this might sound crazy if i sleep for six hours in my bed or like in a place i'm comfortable with it hits harder than six hours on the road because traveling tires you out where's your body out yeah what is i don't disagree why does travel wear us out because you're the blood doesn't like traveling you're eating different foods you're walking you're eating different foods you're walking you're walking a lot usually you're standing around time zone shit there's some real science to jet lag too i don't know fucks you blood blood isn't meant to move as far as we move it and in eastern winds hit your skin harder oh well i know that i know that for sure you ever hear that about the winds i've heard that i say that you feel it in shanghai yeah the eastern wind the eastern wind hit me in shanghai something i still say to myself mostly when playing slay the spire from the china trip it's a tincture it's a tincture it's a tincture it's one of my favorite things to come out of that you brought me a little box and i couldn't stop laughing because i thought of it first before i said it and i was like this is the tiger's tree is the tiger's tree and the tiger's have a taste and it was massage oil and we didn't know i tasted it it wasn't good the tiger's tree was not meant for human consumption do you guys still have your monkeys um i lost my monkey in the bag which means he lost my monkey yeah i told you this on the pod dude because i'm not forgetting no i'm gonna round this out in the worst way possible is mine wasn't in his bag and i also lost mine and i was looking for it when i got home i don't know where it was i'm so sad that i lost the monkey i thought it was so cute it's a loan word yeah you're kidding me they just go monkey chinese they just go tasher monkey it's whole it's whole well what's the accent look like what's

he lost a lot in that suitcase my whole bag his clothes there's two of them right it was honestly it was in kind of an incredible moment of walking through the airport like we're just it's such a massive airport and our walk is so long to get to our gate with all the things we have to go through and then the whole time we're both pulling roller bags and then just at some point in the terminal slime stops looks around we both realize he doesn't have his bag and it's just been lost at some point in this 20 minute journey also bro shut up retrieve me any gift i've given you pre-2025 genuinely it would take me minutes at home yeah wait where is the canteen i gave you the silver canteen yeah right bro i don't even remember this shit he's talking about you won't never find that was expensive too that's why i don't give you gifts guys this is what the fuck is a canteen oh the flash yeah i have that i have that sorry you have that yeah a hundred percent a hundred percent that's right yeah i know i literally am in my mind palace entered opening door found it it's next to my uh-oh watch collection collection watches no i realized i lost the monkey because i i went to put it on my my shelf i have in my kitchen i just couldn't find the monkey bro it's all right one couldn't see what couldn't hear one couldn't speak and we lost them all and none could hold on to something uh nick what can i get of you that you got i can i know where the mario party for us you do yeah the pink one wow they could give you shit gave you shit shit and i have it because i keep it on the floor so i'm a dead in it from stepping on it in your room yes sir i added a couple more that's just flat now where's cuties where's cuties psa 10 dr mario for the super nintendo it's not psa 10 it's just boxed and it's down it's at the bottom of our bookshelf on the right good wow well done i clean man hey i believe you i got a fucking palace up here bro yeah i believe you bro maybe i should start getting new gifts again yeah please dude i love receiving shit where's the uh cool camera that nick got you for christmas from the super mario camera oh i i literally unboxed it last week i had a uh cardboard box in my stream room dumb bullshit i don't care about and that's what is labeled and what what do you know there it is misput it's in there i like that you still have it he's different now and i found my computer in there did you i'm no i didn't and i know you've been looking for it it broke my fucking heart my computer i know it was in like the the move lost it it was in the great move and you lost it but i found a new fucking mac and it's so nice you found a new mac found it yeah it's an old it's like a vintage but i've been using it you found it old one found it like about 09 you don't know i think i just use it i just click in a weird way like in the sea of like freak qualities you have i your your casual treatment of whatever you have at any given time is so it's like the furthest away from me because mine is like my life oh yeah and and but you like you toss them around and just leave them in locations like napkins well you know what laptop i have i have two laptops i have the fucking big ass alienware one that i bring on trips when i need to stream yeah and then i have my travel laptop which slime gave me like six years ago yeah i bought it well it was a company laptop and it was a macbook air and it's gold and i said rose gold and i was like i'm not gonna use it i'm gonna use it i'm gonna use it anymore here you go and you still use it i still use it yeah that's actually okay value not as napkinny as i thought as i interpreted he's treated that laptop nice it's crazy value i've had it for years one of the most like i hoard stuff pretty bad and i think one of the funniest examples is that computer my first computer as a kid um and it's an imac like one of the imacs that like that has the computer in the monitor and i when i was like i don't know how old was i in 09 like fucking 10 or some shit i was 19 you'd be like 14 right no i was 19 so you were 13 before i was in high school yet 12 you were 13 or 12 12 12 12 okay so i went to radio shack and i bought like a like a fingerprint usb 2.0 oh my gosh to log into the computer i thought it was so cool it's like a new thing and i i set it up so that to like get into my computer you had to like swipe your finger on it to like get into my computer when i rebooted the computer when we lived there i i was like oh my god i'm gonna reboot my i've never i haven't turned on my childhood computer in so long uh it was like scan your fingerprint and i was like oh i'm so dumb and then i was like i still have it and i dug into my stuff and i had the fingerprint scanner and did it still work it still worked that's crazy and i got into the computer and i luckily before losing it put all my shit on a drive does your fingerprint ever change no i think it's why we do that but like it's got to change a bit no dude i my friend in high school he was like yo my brother he and i think he was lying he said my brother got a big hot steel ball and burned his fingerprints off so you can commit yeah and i thought about the serial number off your body yes and i thought about so much and i'm like dude what maybe i should do that if i wanted to commit crimes i need to do something crazy the idea of a fingerprint like they're small yeah they're really small and it's not something i would think like is inherently different person to person i gotta assume there's a lot of overlap who's the first person to figure this shit out i know must've been genius zipper can you look up to fingerprint change it must've been einstein to fingerprint change can fingerprints change during a lifetime can you cut can you cut off the skin fucking get rid of your fingerprint your fingertips become less elastic and ridges get thicker this doesn't change your fingerprint but it's harder to scan or take a print from it uh and fingerprints form three months before being born wow mine's aura my thumbprint is aura i'm not kidding it's like a perfect swirl mine are all fucked up because i kind of nervously bite at my fingers they kind of got rid of fingerprints though they fell off the only time i've done it in recent history was going to china oh where they took they also take your eye scan and your blood a lot yeah yeah they take the fingerprints they need it they buy then they deserve it they need it the amount of government programs aiden has signed up for at the airport they probably have everything they have they can just build one in a week they're gonna make an aiden yeah yeah yeah i checked yes okay canadian division okay sure i signed up for like chinese clear while i was there you know just for fucking fuck it just for that that means that at a university right now there's a guy teaching who looks just like you yeah they just made him and they deployed him out of they made him in a lab and i i i checked the box for it i don't know what to say you know it's weird connor has global entry yeah how's that work why is that weird i think you're not american oh you don't need to be american for it anymore maybe common that's crazy now it used to be used to be american goddamn americans could global entry yeah canadians could global entry yeah now let's tacked a few countries on oh so it's like there's a limited list of countries that can get global entry it's like fucking uk australia is the anglo sphere there is wales and commonwealth i need to put this fucking wales is in the commonwealth yeah it is or wait is the uk is the uk part of this america's not part of the commonwealth we are part of the common does the commonwealth mean the united states is connected to britain outside of it or does it include britain dude commonwealth is like north america oh i was wrong the commonwealth is like wait what i thought it was something else commonwealth is like australia new zealand canada south bath the u.s is not in it but canada is yeah yeah i didn't know that yeah i thought whatever canada is we are also our war was to fucking get out of the commonwealth yeah that's the revolutionary war and that's why they got the queen on the bill over there yeah we still got the queen how is wales not a part of the commonwealth though can we be fucking serious i think i think it said no i didn't see it i think it's because the commonwealth is the countries outside of britain that had those connections because the uk is the uk yeah you the uk is the uk and the commonwealth is the members under the uk okay okay so it can't be a part of commonwealth inherently yes makes sense nothing common about this wealth and i throw up you guys are you gonna so you're gonna keep playing that's what i want to know that's the last thing i want to know literally playing tonight but when the pookie's not around like i'm literally gonna play with you you mean it and we're yes and i'm gonna hit 16 fucking what's the q rules for it you can queue together it's like yeah it's like 10 000 we can even queue what do you mean we can even queue we could it's possible for us to queue i know but there's a tone there right i heard that yeah you heard the tone yeah he wasn't even meaning like oh even sport even i you can even queue with me kiddo what and then he gives me a noogie even our accounts could queue together will it happen that's how wide it is you know that's how even even guys like me guys like you bulls like we can get into a queue together and we can play the game together a bull and his cucks bulls like me can hang out with cucks like you it's actually pretty normal i gushed about you in my fucking confessional bro you gushed what'd you go i said you were most improved dude i did fucking improve and i know that and i know that to be fact if you put the confines of the beginning and end of the event he's i believe he's the most improved josh is in like the scheme of starting counter-strike the grand that's what my last confessional was like a large chunk of it was about josh i was like josh had these moments where he struggled but when you think about how good he is for hours played the amount like he started like four months ago yeah and he is 500 hour four or five months ago has 500 hours played and he's like oh my god he's like oh my god he's like oh my god he's like oh 500 hours and it's like and it's his first more than 500 his first shooter but it's crazy he has more hours than me in four months because i'm at 480 hours what if i'm not fucking with you bro and i know the answer is just gonna be no but what if we did this and we got a fifth person that was our skill level and we did this with league bro it'd be amazing it would be so i would have so much fun it would be the most i think the issue is no because it has to be flex the issue is ranked flex kind of sucks yeah but league smurfs are so prevalent yeah you valve makes it so much harder you need to put a huge cookie in the mousetrap for me it needs to be your thrash is generation not a big enough cookie what if we eat every night isn't hanging out with your friends and getting your pussy damn a on fucking television isn't that enough for you i'm gonna do the alphabet and the numbers i'm gonna do the fucking symbols i'm doing mandarin man i don't even know what i mean i'm doing an ampersand hashtag you guys really want this wow i'm gonna send my colon on it what if what it's it's i don't you know when you play a game and you have that little itch that is like this is fun yeah this is good i don't feel that when i play league oh my god this is so fun you're gonna feel when i get to letter j i've been fucking mid lane and i'm like i can look bot and they're like yeah do it i go bot and i fucking ult in we get two and i go back i'm just like life is good we're playing league bro i flashed over dragon ball i hit a max distance q and then i fucking triple man all like what i need from you guys what i need from you guys for something like this to be possible yeah this was my real request that i put in my confessional we because of the nature of the if we go to bed at a regular time and start playing at a regular time in the morning i will do it again this is a classic close your ears this is a classic aiden ignores the vibes part of something where it's like we played a 3am because it's kind of a vibe that we're absolutely we're so fucked up and we wake up kind of fucked up and we're like that was we're not gonna be able to do this much longer you know what i'm saying i know what you're saying but nick you also are the demon you're the guy oh one more time one more yes yeah you'll go one more and if people keep saying yes it'll be 8am come back you can come back aiden but i think it's a reasonable request his request yeah of course it's reasonable i would say we're not doing this with leak we're not doing this with counter-strike i knew it was already gonna be no we'll never do it again with counter-strike i can never do it again i can never ever do anything again ever how you sound like jimmy the meanest fucking thing that happened throughout the marathon wasn't anything you said it was something you what did i do it was the meanest thing bro it was what you did what do i do it's fucking bedtime oh my god and aiden sleeps like head to foot so we're all with our heads on this side and then and aiden's the only one flipped so his feet's where our heads are and his head's where our feet are and then slime just pulls out the most stinky gross long nasty which is a choice monster far choice to make it which he chose to make stinky and it's bedtime bro like it's 3 30 in the morning like it's fucking bedtime bro and he just lets it rip and it's so bad we all have to leave the fucking room it's in a in his damn face makes me feel so late it was so late i was crying and we have to and we have to walk out we have to walk out into the fucking lights argument yeah it was a room clearer that's like crazy bro that was crazy i don't understand dropping a room clear is like highest elo possible like when people have no one else is playing the game i don't know what to tell you you still play artifact telling us how high ranked you are like fuck off bro we don't play the fucking game it was a good game bro it was a good ass game also talking speaking of high elo and and i'll put my nuts on the table to say this laudwig is a high elo orderer in a delivery capacity yeah you're you're sushi with every the whole line bro i did the whole fucking week i had to fucking pick places to eat the decisions you made were very high yeah i have to even when you had to make decisions when someone couldn't you would order something for them which is kind of the hardest part yes but you picked where to where to get it from i ordered for the group i got fucking treat i got you a smoothies i was like a smoothie fucking hits it i got you boba i was like boba's gonna be big today i was such a smut the bubble was so clean and then and then i as a low elo order i made a call i said give me whatever aiden got and i'll be happy with it aiden no sugar milk tea with boba perfect order no ice thank you was it no ice no ice very interesting i wouldn't it's the so clean if i got that i would have been like so sad yeah because you love ice i love i have extra ice ice take up too much space nick likes a crazy amount of extra ice mean last sip as cold as first sip yeah but it's watered down yeah it's like the efficiency of maximum beverage and you like the experience the consistent experience and low shiggy i don't know she was so clean uh yeah dude i appreciate that bro because i is the fuck bro when i ordered three pizzas and there was literally one slice left i was like it was like just i went crazy and the pizza was good it was like different pizza i never had i had a little moment with the pizza where i was like there's only like a like three slices of pep left and there's like a whole month and i look at them and i notice slime hasn't eaten yet and i'm like i want pep backs i want pep but slime's gonna want mush but i'll eat these but i ate two of the three just in case but i felt pretty confident and then well seconds later slime walks up and kind of looks at it all opens the mush and i found what i wanted and he found what he wanted he starts eating the mush and i was like i smiled i'm like enjoy it man i was you you understand me unearthing the mush was like pull fiction i was like gold or whatever it is high elo eater high elo eater for sure you know that all right guys and on that note let's get the fuck out of here this is the pay we're gonna go to the patreon i
