You are now tuned in to the epicenter of geek news with your host, the slippery online streamer
warlord with the skills to back it up, Fergie, and the master of Marvel, the cinema showstopper,
Chaotic.
This is Tenacious Geeks.
Hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of Tenacious Geeks.
I am your special guest.
I am Eugene.
Hey, no I'm just kidding, this Fergie, what's up everybody?
What the fuck kind of intro was that?
What up everybody and welcome back to another episode of Tenacious Geeks.
I am Fergalicious Fergie, the Fergnus the third.
F to the E to the RGI.
Yeah.
I don't remember the rest of it.
I don't know.
I'm Fergalicious.
And I'm the whole hero over here.
The new One Piece fan.
Just chaotic.
Yep, then we also have big news.
I'm starting this out and you're not stopping me from saying it.
What started this weekend?
We had two things that started this weekend for the seat for the summer season starts
of anime and that was.
My gallbladder disease.
No.
That's anime?
We got season one part two.
Of Thousand Year Blood War Art.
We also got.
And I did watch it.
We also got.
But I watched it.
We also got.
What do we get?
The first episode of season two of Jujutsu Kaisen.
See, I never even started that yet.
That shit's.
Everybody keeps telling me.
Do it.
Absolutely.
You know, I think I'm like dark.
You like dark, brutal shit.
Jujutsu Kaisen's.
Yeah, I've heard.
Yeah.
But yeah, I'm like so 50 something episodes into one piece.
So time out.
Let's go to the part that I've been waiting to talk about because I even text you about
this fucking last night or this morning.
One of the two.
What did you think of it?
It was a very boring episode.
Not going to lie.
It was boring.
Well, a lot of time.
It's the first episode of a new season, new part of a season.
Yeah, it's going to be boring.
But what did you think of the plot build up in it, though?
It's the same as the manga.
No, it's not.
It is not all the way.
No, there's not.
There's extended parts to it.
I didn't see anything really extended.
I mean, what the fuck's going to happen with RU?
So you do realize, like that whole part of them meeting up in a big group, like before
you or you does the ritual.
Like half of that was extended.
Was it?
Yes.
Because I remember the originally the naming of the successor was in the.
Yes.
But they didn't ritual where Batsby where they were.
OK.
Where Batsby confronts fucking what's his name?
The them the other guy.
Yeah, them doing it in front of all the other ones was not in the manga.
No, you're right.
You're right.
He did it separately away.
And to be honest, it was kind of and I didn't really care.
Who do you ask the question in the anime before he drank the blood in the manga?
He asked the question that he asked after.
Yeah.
Well, it's been a little while since I read that.
But it was tight.
I love this animation.
I also watched two.
I also watched two different like videos to like break down what was the difference between
like the manga and the anime just to get all of the little shit.
Oh, I'm as I'm over here session.
If I could fucking straight up just like.
Put that put the thousand year blow work, smelt that shit and you don't put it in my
brain, baby.
Let's go see.
That's how I am with the new season of my hero, bro.
I know I want that shit doing that crackhead cheek.
Do the manga so good.
So good.
That word is so good.
50, 70 hours a week like I don't got time to read.
I'll be just let me watch.
Dude, you could read it on a smoke break.
You could read like a chapter of cigarette.
It's only it takes like five, 10 minutes.
Yeah, I under your short.
I'm watching pressures like when I'm sitting there smoking or taking like that, I'm because
you're watching everything.
Yep.
Waiting for a unit to do something.
So I got to pay attention to what it's doing to make sure shit going.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
Well, the animation looks really good.
That's why I'm here for it.
I like anime, especially when I go out and when the dub comes out, I'm going to watch
the dub too.
Uh, but you won't talk about dubs.
I think I told you last night.
Yeah.
Yeah, they have like 900 plus.
They put I think it's like nine hundred seventy six and they're like, I think which which
Netflix only had up to like 320 or 350 or something like that.
And then they put on Thriller Bark.
They just put that on that.
Yeah, the park.
And then they just blasted all of the English dub on Crunchyroll.
All of it.
All the way up to the current.
So they're only like, I think they have they're only like 30 episodes behind everything that
everything that Funimation had English dubbed.
I said no animation, but that's good.
Well, Crunchyroll bought out Funimation.
So it's just it's slowly converting everything over from Funimation.
Yeah.
So now they have all the way up to the current English and I'm here for it.
Fifty episodes in nine hundred something to go.
I'm just really happy that fucking bleach is on Hulu.
I'm not going to lie.
Like, I'm really happy that bleach is on her.
Oh, and the the Bambi scene, the Bambi scene wasn't exactly the same as the anime or as
the manga either.
Oh, or she split the dude.
Mm hmm.
Yeah, there it went a little more and it was a little more in the manga than it was in
the anime.
Yeah, I just don't really care about them.
Tiddies.
Yeah.
Booba.
I mean, it is what it is.
Matches her name.
Booba.
But it was a little bit more explicit than the manga was.
I think it was the other way around.
The manga is they tend to dull down the anime more than the manga.
Sometimes, but this is usually but this is a Hulu exclusive.
This isn't airing anywhere else.
So that means Hulu's got the power.
Yeah, but I don't mean normally when it's straight to streaming like that and it's not
airing anywhere else.
But anyway, they have a little bit more power.
I think I'm going to buy a thousand year blood work so I could watch like the extended versions
of shit because you know they'll have more on the fucking DVD version than they will in
what they're showing.
They make DVDs?
Oh, fuck yeah.
No, I mean they make DVDs.
I thought it was all Blu-ray.
Well, whatever.
Shut the fuck up.
Digital copy download Blu-ray DVD.
Bitch shut up.
I'd buy it on VHS if they had it.
Oh, you just sparked a memory.
Hold on.
So I was over at my dad's house yesterday.
Achievement unlocked.
Yes, hold on.
I just fucking thought.
I'll show you these later.
I got them sitting in the back bedroom.
But so my dad's going through his shed, getting ready to throw a bunch of stuff, doing the
neighborhood cleanup stuff next weekend.
And so I kind of went and skimmed a little bit through it and sitting right on top is
a big old tote of all of our old Disney VHS movies.
Like all of them.
Hell yeah.
Like Land Before Time, Little Mermaid and shit.
Those bitches are probably worth some money.
I he's like, I'm going to throw them away.
I was like, the fuck you are.
And I fucking snag them.
So money now, motherfucker.
And there's more if they're like old original copies that are in decent condition.
They are.
I'll have to I'll have to show you before you leave today.
Like it's hard to start looking those up and like, I don't I don't want to sell them.
I'd sell a couple like those were from like my childhood.
I was like our son's age.
You're telling me we were like our son's age.
If one of them, because it's something that's not made anymore, it's been discontinued for
years and has a very high collectors market.
I mean, if you if you're telling me that you looked up one of those and it was worth like
fifteen hundred two racks, you wouldn't be like, oh, bet.
It's a possibility.
It's a high possibility.
I mean, I doubt they're going to be.
I doubt it's going to be worth that much.
But like maybe in like fucking grade 10.
But but you know, I never opened the VHS type.
You know what I'm saying, it's like one of those one one offs that you're like.
Wow, really?
Yeah.
Fuck it.
Well, when they started converting everything to DVD, the VHS is all went in the vault.
They stopped making them.
I still have a bunch.
I know there's probably fucking a million other people that have a bunch, too.
But I.
Yeah.
But how many out there that are in good condition that still fucking work?
Right.
Well, I mean, we were kids.
That's what I'm saying.
So I mean, maybe that's still fucking work.
I don't know.
Like they're still.
My dad's.
So he's got millions of copies of fucking Disney DVDs that have been ruined
and thrown away and been re fucking bought.
You think one of them, which is like one of the original prints of like Hercules,
like out of the original DVD.
Yeah.
The first set that came out, bro, like that's I bet you that bitch is worth a couple
hundred bucks or like O.G. Dumbo.
That bitch has got to be worth it.
You know, you know, Disney plus like cut scenes from Dumbo and all that.
Right.
Yeah.
So I'll have to I'll have to go through them.
It's in a tote sitting back there.
It's in the vault, baby.
And those are all effects from back in the day.
Is it going to be the same?
I don't know.
What what?
But my version are we on compared to what universe version were we on when we got those
motherfuckers?
I don't know.
Multiverse theory.
But you know what?
What?
My dad's got an old VCR.
Your dad's also an old son of a bitch.
I know.
So he's got an old VCR.
I could just go snag it.
Start watching old VHS is.
I really hope they weren't recorded over the latest email that I got from Crunchyroll just
now.
Yeah.
Or like 45 minutes ago, half hour ago.
Ready to question your morality?
Oh, always.
Always.
What is this?
I'm curious.
You're hearing it live on the air.
Question your morality on the second season.
Lord.
Oh, psych pass.
Something for psych pass.
Oh, that was a good anime.
I'm digging one piece right now.
What piece?
Pretty good.
Did you.
So you want to talk about it?
Sure.
And talk about the gear five.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, we kind of already did.
We could talk about the we can talk about the hito hito no me.
So I don't know nothing about it.
No, no, really?
Nope.
And I've gone far enough to know who kind of who Joy Boy is.
So kind of a little bit of it.
So you like OK, so you've heard about Lost Country a little bit.
Little bits here and there.
There's a lot to try to process.
Oh, but all over all over.
Take back and Facebook is all about gear five.
So I'm here.
I have kind of.
So apparently, gear five is going to be shown in theaters.
That episode is supposed to be shown in theaters.
And it was also delayed for like the 30th time.
They've already shown gear five.
No.
Yes, they have.
Apparently, there's a big, big like episode about gear five that's going to be shown in
theaters.
OK, the one that's not out yet.
OK, then it's probably like the truth, like the full like the full version of gear five.
But gear five, Luffy's already gone gear five multiple times.
At least three or four times.
Yes.
The first time you went the first time you went gear five was like not too long after
they got into the thousands and he was fighting Kaido.
That was the first time we saw gear five.
I'm trying to.
And then he went here.
I'm pretty sure he went gear five in the movie Red.
Oh, is considering placing the episode featuring gear fits debut on the big screen in France.
Yeah.
And another one in Japan.
Yeah.
Gear five has been out for a minute.
Like gear five came out when he was fighting Kaido.
Yeah.
It's only been on screen once.
Fighting against Rob Luchi.
And Kaido.
I don't know.
I see.
I'm not that far.
I just I've seen a little bit of it.
But yeah, they're supposed to be shown in theaters and shit.
And apparently everybody's so hyped for it.
But he looks so weird.
Episode one thousand seventy's Luffy gear five was originally seen to make its debut
in chapter one forty four of the manga, which makes it possible possible that the episode
one thousand seventy will be the first time they show it.
We're not on one thousand seventy yet, though.
Yes, we are.
Are you sure?
Mm hmm.
Pretty sure we're hold on.
Research must do research.
Like look, there is there is for the manga.
Do your sound.
Too much research.
Put that for you sound bite, bitch.
Oh, sorry.
I put did.
So, yeah, so we are.
No, we are on ten sixty eight.
Ten seventy's not out yet through Luffy, though Luffy is relevant or relative newbie when
it comes to gear five.
Fans of Left Wandering, where it could sit when you know what's really funny.
So we're both right, but I'm right.
So we're only on ten sixty eight.
Because I keep hearing some about the next two episodes are supposed to be fucking super
huge like big battle type shit.
Oh, it's because it's.
Is he fighting Kaido now?
Yeah.
Oh, is that where they're at in the?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I'm pretty sure your five hasn't been shown yet.
That's why it's a big deal.
I guess it's these next two episodes.
But they've been delayed.
So there's been no new one piece for I think like a month or so.
I think they said it was going to come out the end of July.
So and I just pulled it up.
So ten sixty eight is where we're at.
Oh, yeah, I guess that's just getting to the.
Yeah.
So that's why it's all so fucking hyped up right now.
I'm over here like they already showed it and they're already.
Yeah, see you're behind.
No, I'm ahead technically.
And I'm just longer.
Yeah.
And I know what happens like I've already known about your five and like they've already
shown the they've already shown parts of the anime, but they've already shown parts of
the animation from where he fights fucking Kaido.
Maybe in like a preview or something.
So I don't know.
It was all over Tick Tock like two months ago.
That's why I thought they have already showed it.
Oh, that's because that's what I keep seeing is all over Tick Tock.
Where he's fighting the fucking big dragon.
He's all white and everybody's all hyped for it.
And that 1069 and 1070 are supposed to be these fucking huge like masterpiece episodes.
I'm almost like season eight of Game of Thrones.
So I don't know, buddy.
But it's going to be good.
It's going to be real good.
Yeah, because I have like loopy embracing Kaido with gear five Lucy versus Kaido full
cinematic fight.
And that was seven months ago.
Yeah, but it's not out.
Unless it's like, I don't know.
I don't know.
We must do the search like that's just.
Two months ago, gear five Luffy and shanks verse top.
We can't use English.
Yeah, like there's like I'm pretty sure we're getting pretty we're getting mixed.
Like, I'm pretty sure Luffy goes gear five in fucking one piece red.
I don't know.
I haven't seen it.
Yeah, I don't think he does.
I don't know.
I really don't.
I'm not that far.
But I just keep hearing all this hype about it.
So my bad.
My bad.
It's like that South Park, dude.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, because it's been it's been out in the manga for a minute.
Well, right.
It's manga.
But you know, we do get here in a month, though.
We do get the live action.
Oh, I'm so excited.
So I'm I'm I'm only like.
I think I've got I've got less than 10 episodes and I'm done with the whole first arc.
That's the whole the whole East Blue.
They're going to do on the first season.
Mm hmm.
And I'm for it.
Yep.
I'm for it.
But it's a lot.
Oh, yeah.
It's like 60 some episodes they're putting in eight.
Is it only eight?
I thought it was 11.
No, it's eight.
We went through this, I think, a couple of weeks ago.
Probably.
Yeah, it's eight episodes.
It's like five to 10 episodes of almost like its own character arc per episode.
But I think they're going to be like an hour, hour and a half episodes.
They'd have to be to do the pacing that they want to.
But I also think it will fit any kind of decently.
Well, the way anime paces is like you could convert those into live action very quickly.
Like you could do the whole Sanji and the baritay.
The whole restaurant arc that was like 15 episodes.
You could do that in fucking a half hour to an hour.
You know?
Yeah, but I feel like it would be fighting rushed.
I'm so looking forward to the fighting because I didn't realize that these fights were so
gangster.
Yeah, like that.
That's the part like.
Anime always put so much emphasis on the fight that when you convert that to live action,
that takes a lot of screen time.
Yeah, but also a lot of anime is this.
The people can't see it, but I'm just staring at him.
Oh, yeah, it's a dial.
It's a dialogue back and forth.
A lot of dialogue and monologue in the head.
That's where a lot of.
Let's throw a five minute flashback right in the middle of this punch.
I'm about to throw.
Yeah, they can cut a lot of that.
They can cut a lot of that shit.
Oh, they will.
But it's also to the point of like you can't cut out half of that shit because half of that
dialogue is actually important.
Yeah, especially in the beginning of one piece, because a lot of the dialogue is built up,
which we've seen it with bleach and death note and all the other live action movies.
Cowboy Bebop failed.
You know, I I actually do have a high hope for this.
Bleach was all right.
Bleach was meh.
It was meh.
I enjoyed it for the pure fact of I was really fucking high and I was excited to have something
from fucking bleach content.
That was me in death note.
Death note wasn't it wasn't.
Your Romi Kenshin was really good.
I still didn't see that one.
I liked that one just because it's not like I feel like your Romi Kenshin would be is
a really good one to go from manga to like to manga to animate a live action because
like, yeah, nothing really fucking crazy.
There's no powers.
Which is what makes anime so awesome.
You can do all these fucking outlandish shit.
It's like you watch the anime in the manga, like compared to like your Romi Kenshin, like
the live action.
Like there's some of that shit that he did in the manga and like in the cartoon, like
that you just could not do in real life.
Oh yeah.
Like this scene, like the one scene that I can think of in particular from that are both
in the manga and in the anime.
What is it on?
It's when fucking they go to the vent.
It's on Netflix.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
Or at least when I watched it, it was on Netflix.
When he has the watermelon in his hand and he finds that he finds the sword crafter that
was a long that was quite a while.
Twenty twelve.
That's probably why I never got around to watch it.
When he finds the dude, when he finds the family that made his sword back in the day
where he could fucking slice the shit so fast and the thing was so fucking good that he
could fucking you put the watermelon back together and the animals would fuse because
he actually wouldn't cut any of the atoms.
I mean, you could do that now.
You could do a lot of that crazy shit now.
But like back when you Romi Kenshin was popular and shit like that, like you couldn't do
a lot of that shit.
Like there was still like the they would he fought that was completely covered fucking
that was like covered in bandages because he was burned from fucking head to toe.
Like you could do that very fucking easily back.
Well, I mean, now we got a Pokemon movie.
They made Pokemon look fucking sick in real life.
Nobody knew how that was going to work.
They made that happen now.
So we can we could get a lot of new anime movies.
But yeah, that's that's what I'm saying.
But they fucked him up.
The ones in the last like three years, they fucked most of them up.
What the anime like the live action adaption shit that they've done.
What's come out?
Well, OK, I know Cowboy Bebop was really sorry.
Let's say like the last like five years.
And OK, I was like because you have Cowboy Bebop.
You have Cowboy Bebop failed hard.
Yeah.
Each wasn't very popular.
So like the last ones that they've done in the last quote, quote, five to 10 years, which
I mean, the graphics, Bebop and the CGI and bleach wasn't that bad, though.
No, it wasn't.
I mean, it could have been a lot better.
They should have got like Disney involved.
Like they get you go further into the you go further into the Disney or into the bleach
plot like and it's just going to get harder and harder because you can get a full cell.
You get the full society.
You get Waco Mundo's.
You get more in depth into the hollow.
You get the wrong cars coming out.
That's Waco Mundo.
Yeah.
When I say Waco Mundo, I mean, oh, you just mean the whole.
OK, I isn't with all like three.
I like I's in with the Hogyoku.
I mean, we got end game, bro.
We we.
Multiverse of madness like, yeah, we've done some crazy shit.
I mean, they I get it.
I get a lot of money.
And that's when I'm saying to the pure point, to the pure point of how much shit and like
through the just the Iran car like the end of the car.
Yeah, end of the Iran car arc when I's in it, when fucking the build up to fucking
Karakuda town.
I's in the thing that I grew up.
Yeah, yeah, that's why I just said, Kata, Kata.
Yeah. And then build up into fighting eyes in and fucking the fourth Espada because I
can't I can't remember his name off top my head.
But like we just watch Ukiyota Ukiyota.
Pretty sure it was Ukiyota.
I can't remember his name.
He's a weird emo looking dude.
Yeah. Number four.
Yeah. Yeah. Number four.
We thought was number one.
Number four. Yeah. Yeah.
Was it Gein number one?
I think it was. Fuck, I don't remember.
I think it was the two captains were one and two or two and three or something like
that. Because what if it was zero?
I think I was zero.
I don't know, whatever.
It's been a while. Yeah, that was a long time.
That was a good art, though.
But you know what?
Do you think that one piece doing good, if it does really good, do you think they'll
continue more?
Oh, I fucking more seasons.
And then do you think is their big their biggest concern, like in the like anime
community and shit like that, like should go in live action like.
The biggest concern is when they get to like Fishman Island and shit
and they do like the fish man.
Oh, like Arlong Park. Yeah.
OK, I just watched all that.
You are a long bit of work and then you'll have another part.
You'll have another place that you another place that you'll go to
later on in the series is called Fishman Island.
OK, where it's literally like people who were merpeople, like mermaids
and merman and shit like that.
And then you have fish people who are like the opposite of.
I mean, fish half person instead of half person half fish.
We did get there was that one Netflix show.
I can't remember the name, but it was like human animal like hybrid.
I do know what show I'm talking about.
No, but where the where the main the main character was like half
deer or something like that.
No, it was it was weird.
No, I didn't. I didn't watch it all.
But the way money is, I think they could.
They keep doing.
But do you think that this could lead into more
like full on live action?
Seasons like episodes for other animes,
I'm not live live action adaptations to for other animes,
but shows, not movies.
That's just live action adaptations in one in one way.
Pretty much. But if you do a big movie, I mean, yes, I do.
Absolutely, I do, because the biggest one that everybody in the like
or majority of the anime community has been bitching about is Naruto.
They want a Naruto live action like or just a live action of fucking it.
No, they don't want Naruto.
We want our Dragon Ball.
They've already given me enough time now.
They give me fucking ruin that.
Give me.
My O.G. Dragon Ball Z Saiyan Saga live action, please.
I want to see Goku, what Vegeta's ass in season one right there.
Got to see it.
I got it. It's just not going to happen.
I got to see it.
You may got to see it, but it's not going to happen.
I don't know.
I think we need to just go by for nation.
We're go. We are to crunch.
We already did it.
The Simpsons did it.
Simpsons did it.
Let's go by crunchy roll.
Oh, fuck. Please.
Yeah, let's start to go fund me page for us to dumb asses to fucking by crunchy roll.
Yeah, just to make a live action Dragon Ball movie.
I quit.
I'd quit, too. We bought country roll.
Yeah, because for one, we wouldn't be working because we had that much fucking money.
Right. If only if only if only the woodpecker could get to go fund me going.
You want to try? I could.
If only if only the woodpecker cry. I mean.
The bark on the tree is soft as the sky.
As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely.
If only if only.
OK, then you just had to take this little darker, did you?
You remember where that's from? I don't.
But it sounds OK.
So it was like right there.
Adam's Errone. Fuck, it's been so long.
Adam's Errone. It's been way too long.
I curse you, Stanley Yale Nats.
20 some fucking years ago.
Before Shia LaBeouf, one fucking crazy dude.
No, there's I found this movie that he's in called Peanut Butter Falcon.
Yeah, super weird, but it's I've seen like reels and tick tocks of it.
And I found it. I think it's on.
It's on one of my streaming shit.
I think it's I think it's prime or it's something.
And so pretty much he's like a drifter kind of dude.
Shia LaBeouf is.
And he runs into this. I know I'm playing a couple more races.
The fucking need for speed game. Oh, you're good.
No, he runs into this kid with Down syndrome or this.
Oh, yeah. Down syndrome.
Have you seen the movie?
No, I've seen fucking.
You've seen previews of it. It looks so fucking good.
Like it looks emotionally good.
And I think Shia LaBeouf deserves a fucking Emmy.
Shia LaBeouf, he's really good.
Oh, he's a great actor.
That boy just fucking.
I've listened to some podcasts he's been on. He went through a lot.
OK, I did. He went through a lot of mental.
Oh, yeah. Years.
And then everybody just fucking like threw him under the bus
but never asked him why.
And it's like, what the fuck?
You know, so he came out and spoke about it all.
And everybody's like, oh, I'm sorry.
No, it's fuck out here.
Like, yeah.
Like all of us die hard.
I was on that dude's side.
Who cares if he yells at some paparazzi?
Yeah, because we punch somebody.
Fuck it. We got Ezra Miller running around, fucking being a pedophile.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Now that oh, yeah.
And they still put out that flash movie.
That bombed, bro, it fucking knew I didn't like him.
He's fucking bomb.
I knew I didn't like him for a reason.
It's not a him. He's it's a they.
I don't give a fuck.
He's a they you you diddle or pedophiles something.
You're a shut your fucking mouth.
Allegedly, allegedly.
Motherfucker. Now, he's a fucking punk ass, bro.
Was in Hawaii, broke into somebody's like hotel room
and is threatening them with like a fucking broken bottle and shit.
I beat the fuck out of his bitch ass.
But thanks, because he's all big and famous.
I'll beat the brakes off your ass.
I'd be like, you are not the Flash. Get out of here.
Grant Gustafson forever.
I can't even say his name right.
But this guy, I need to watch that, too.
Oh, flash. Yeah, because they put the new season on Netflix.
The finale finale.
I should watch the finale since I'm only on season three.
So I should probably just binge it.
But one piece is too good.
How do you notice? I just one piece for a minute.
Oh, since I started you, since I don't know, finally broke,
since you finally broke that fucking water of like actually starting to watch
anime and like listening to my recommendations, you're like, it's just.
Fuck, I'm stuck.
And I got into watching so much shit that.
OK, I have a very like niche
style of what I like, like kind of that fantasy sci fi type of shit.
Right. So like Game of Thrones, fucking all of the references
I've given you to fucking watch, you're like my boy
and fucking like supernatural shit like that.
I've kind of just run out of shit to watch essentially.
So I was like, which is more a lot, which is similar to along the lines of like
supernatural and game of Thrones type shit.
Then you have a little bit.
But my hero academia, that darker kind of then you have like my piece
and my hero where it's like, well, my hero, I think,
reminded me a lot of like the boys or like anything superhero
which, you know, I'm fucking obsessed with.
So that that's why the first one that clicked right away.
That's why that was the first one I recommended where we went and got our tattoos.
Yeah. To the people that don't know yet.
We actually did.
I think you do know we get them.
We get them finished this week.
This coming up weekend. Yeah.
Next weekend. This coming up coming up.
Oh, yeah. Whatever.
It is Sunday. Yeah.
So we'll see.
We'll see how this week goes and fucking my brand.
My work man's got to go into the chop.
See how everything goes.
So, I mean, technically, we're all paid. Everything's all paid for.
So anything we give him is just extra tips. So. Yeah.
But he still deserves it. Yeah. Fucking nailed it.
I want to see. And considering, you know, he only charged us
what he did for what he's doing, he definitely could have charged us a lot.
Then maybe for what he charged, like he definitely.
I'm going to take some tip money and I'm going to judge him.
So I'm going to wait and see the finished product.
His linework and shading work. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. And a busted out in an hour, hour and a half like.
But he did forget the mask, so I got to dig him a point for that.
Oh, shut up.
No, I want him to do.
Mind I want him to do my gangar.
I really do want to do that.
Gangar, I showed you all the three of them.
Probably like over on this side or something, maybe here, over here somewhere.
Same arm. I'll let you figure out what I want to do right here.
You can do right there.
I already know what you're going to put right there.
What Luffy or is that the other side?
I think over here, you got to do something.
Do them like right here and just do a big like do a big Luffy's.
Dude, OK, because I got a big gap that I can fill back.
So I need to finish each ago.
So let me see your arm real quick.
So his hat all right here.
Big old fucking just some cheesy, yes.
Smiley face, bro of just Luffy.
You don't even need like full body.
You don't need any anything special.
Just I almost kind of do that big cheesy fucking dumb ass.
I wanted to do fucking your five.
I think everybody else is going to do your five.
Because of your five fucking cool.
Yeah. You know what, though?
We wouldn't have your five if it weren't for one specific anime.
Oh, yeah. What's that?
Or one specific manga? What's that?
It's on your arm.
Dragonball. Yes, sir.
Dragonball started the transformation, the power,
the power up transformation thing that became popular in manga and anime.
It's whatever.
So if it weren't for Goku.
You mean if it wasn't for Krillin.
OK, yeah, Krillin.
Then we wouldn't have was finally useful for something.
And then we wouldn't have Bankai.
We wouldn't have gear five.
We wouldn't have.
You know, true, true.
Full cowling or most modern
showdowns that we consider to be part of, like, big in our revolution,
where a lot of inspiration was taken from Dragonball,
because that was like the original.
Yeah, like Naruto.
Like, no, Dragonball.
Some people will be like, no, Dragonball is a part of the big three.
No, Dragonball can't be a part of the big three that everybody knows.
He's the grandpa. Too old.
He's the dad, technically.
Well, I'd call him the grandpa.
So you have you have.
Bleach. You have Dragonball's generation.
And then you have the big three that we consider the big three.
Why? One piece, Bleach, Naruto.
Those are I consider those the dads.
Goku, Goku's grandpa, Dragonball's grandpa,
because I mean, Dragonball was out in like the 70s, 80s.
Dragonball Z was running mid 80s is what Dragonball came out.
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure Dragonball Z started in like 89 or 90.
Yeah, that's why I said mid 80s is so like super sane.
It happened like early 90s.
Yeah, we're like just being born.
Yeah, early 90s.
I still remember the first time I seen it, though.
But it was like late 90s, early 2000s.
Yeah, because I think it did.
I don't think it aired in the states until like the late.
No, it did. And then.
To Nami. When to Nami came out.
I know you remember that big old spaceship little robot, dude.
Yeah, we got like an anime or different versions of that ship, right?
Missed to Nami. That's when that show would blow up.
We get a new robot like we got Gundam, like mobile suit Gundam.
We got that's when Bleach started was on to Nami.
Yep, I remember that being on Adult Swim, not to Nami.
No, that was to Nami was Adult Swim at the time.
They continue. It was an adult swim.
Adult Swim didn't come until after the anime,
because then that's when they started Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Yeah, but that's when I always that's when I remember watching.
I mean, it was on Adult Swim, maybe tech because that was supposed to be
Adult Swim, the like the reasoning for Adult Swim or whatever
was to be able to show the like, yeah, a little bit of bleach and shit like that,
because that was technically considered and like that was normal
and shit like that for kids and shit over in Japan and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, but that wasn't normal for us.
So they had to show it on a later block because it was more graphic.
You might be right. But either way, I'm saying that's just what I remember.
The whole to Nami block itself, I mean.
So combined to Nami with like Adult Swim together.
I get it wasn't longer before they made Adult Swim
and just ran the show later.
It was either that or they would just end to Nami
and then just show the more brutal shit. Pretty positive.
That to Nami started because when to Nami started,
then they brought in like Teen Titans,
like the older Teen Titans, not that go shit.
They brought in kind of a little bit more teenager stuff.
And then that's when they brought in the anime.
So we got started. Dragon Dragon Ball Z started.
You you Hawkeye Show was on there, too.
That was my shit.
Raroni Kenshin, Inuyasha, Inuyasha played like way.
Inuyasha was fucking Adult Swim.
Yeah, they played that one a little bit later.
Yeah, because that shit, I think it was the original fucking Inuyasha
and the shit they showed titties.
I think it was I think it was like you saw to Nami
titties within the first like six chapters.
I think it was to Nami, though, for a while.
I think it was still to Nami when they were doing that.
And then they created Adult Swim
and then started branching off and then to Nami just
I missed vanished and then anime just anime just stopped.
It just went on the network instead of on.
Yeah, because it was once to Nami started that.
I think that was sitting here thinking about that.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
That was the start of Saturday nights.
Saturday night to Nami's Friday nights.
No, it was Saturday night.
Well, I remember it. I remember Friday nights.
No, because I remember explicitly Saturday nights was bleach night.
I remember that very specifically growing up.
Did they do did they do to Nami Friday?
Because it didn't matter if I was at a party.
It didn't matter what I was doing.
I found my ass to a TV to watch the new bleach every time.
So I remember I remember it was Saturday.
Fridays they did. I think they did something else.
But yeah, to Nami was always Saturday
because then it led into Adult Swim, which was Sunday.
Yeah, because midnight stopped at like nine or 10.
I know it started. It stopped at like 11.
I think it stopped at like 10.
No bleach was on at 10.
Every Saturday, I remember that.
Like, you know, like the little core memories you remember.
It's right. I specifically remember it ended when bleach before bleach started.
Well, OK, maybe whatever, because there was no swim.
Yeah. Yeah.
But then I remember they pushed it back and Adult Swim was until midnight.
After a while, it might have been a little bit late.
After a while, it might be after what you're thinking.
Yeah, every time I remember watching like more kids, it didn't after like
it just didn't like once once to Nami ended, like all I remember is fucking
Dalt Swim and bleach was always on Adult Swim.
Yeah, maybe.
But then that's when Swim started at like 10, because once Adult Swim
went on for a while, they kind of start kicking the anime off
because then Family Guy was on a 10.
But that's why I remember I remember I remember fucking
bleach being on it like 10 or 1030 and it either being the first or second
at the first or second slot of Adult Swim.
And like Adult Swim always started at fucking 10.
But I specifically I remember the robot
during the commercial breaks of bleach, though.
Yeah, as in promos for to Nami.
I don't know, because they would play promos for to Nami.
Fuck these memories, bro.
To Nami play promos through to Nami, like when we were younger
and to Nami was super popular was all the fucking pause. Pause. Pause. Pause.
Tip touch.
Let me pre warm.
I forgot it. I'm sorry.
I do need.
Tip touch.
Oh, these tried to die.
Sorry, that's probably why we don't remember very well.
Robin, tip. Anyway, the whole time.
So. To branch off real quick.
So you've been on the CDL shit, right?
We don't have anything going on, really, do we?
Roster mania. What's that?
Is that like WrestleMania?
No, it's like the draft and shit.
Oh, OK. So they call it roster mania because that's one like all the rosters
or it's just the off season of Call of Duty.
So like when people can make like roster moves and shit like that,
people are forming new teams.
That makes like just the current like current everything.
Preds going to optic.
So all of essentially all of Seattle's free agents,
they even let their coaches go.
God damn. All of L.A. thieves are free agents.
It's time for the Vancouver dad bonds, bro.
Yeah. Oh, no, they're talking.
No, they're talking about taking the search to Canada.
I'm talking about us. No, I'm talking.
No, I'm talking. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I remember you did say they were so that still that's still with.
That's still within the works.
Preds. So Preds going to optic.
That's that's what the rumor is right now.
Draws it from L.A.T.
because everybody on L.A.T. from the thieves is all free agents to draws
is going to phase.
Do you think do you think Sibs going to New York and they're dropping priest?
Do you think this is the end of C.D.L. coming now with the whole everybody
free agent or the teams kind of just do a tournament and then disband and.
No. So this happens.
This is just the first time in like since the C.D.L. started that.
The this many people are unrestricted free agents.
Like that's essentially what it is until the draft, at least.
Well, that's what's going on right now.
So like that's why that's why these are the rumors of the teams
that are going on right now.
So like optic dropped, ghosty and who that challenges player that they picked up
and they're talking about picking up Pred, which they've that's been going on
since like major two. Right.
So like essentially, if that's where Pred's going, the paper is going to be
where Pred's going, the paperwork, the contracts already been signed.
Drozda from L.A.T.
has already supposedly signed his contract with Faiz,
which there there was a bunch of beef with him between him specifically
and fucking a couple of Faiz and the whole Faiz team like the last like two seasons.
So that'll be fucking interesting. Makes sense.
That'll be interesting.
And then.
Sib was taught there was rumors about Sib going to optic with Pred, but now
they're the one makes sense to the rumors are is the subliners
who were MW two's champs like who won fucking the whole the last tournament.
Yeah. Are talking about dropping Priest, their flex player and picking up Sib
because they were interested in picking up Sib in Cold War.
Pre I feel like a bad Sib is an like when it comes to like
just overall gun skill and yeah, but I mean, I want Sib is Sib
is a better player than Priest is.
But I mean, I have a has way more fucking experience than Sib does.
And he's now has a ring.
Well, not just that, but he was a really good flex player.
Yeah, but you also you also got it.
You also got to think, though, to Priest in one of the in one of the maps
in at champs, priest had seven kills.
I mean. It's not very good for a flex player, but.
But your flex, your backup.
Not necessarily a flex is still an aggressive.
Your flex is technically considered your third sub if you need it.
So your flex also still needs to be hyper aggressive when they need to be.
Yeah, Priest, I can be hyper aggressive.
Maybe they just needed it when there's a movement.
We can't when there's when there's a skill gap in movement mechanics.
Like Priest, it was a fucking animal when it was like jetpack error and shit.
Right. But so when it's like team death match type shit.
Yeah. So he's not very aggressive.
He's not very aggressive. Yeah. So it's just like he's play.
Pleased to priest to plays aggressive, but can sometimes be inconsistent.
But has sounds like me, but has the skill and has the experience
to be able to make up for that and still be impactful.
OK, where Sib is just.
A more consistently aggressive and slightly more impactful player regularly.
He just was on a very and he was only he was.
Sib was on a team that had fucking two really consistent players
and two extremely inconsistent players, which I mean, in Sib,
which were the rookie superstar, blah, blah, blah, which you don't really want
on a team like that when you're going to play the CDO.
But sometimes that inconsistency can win.
Yeah, that's that.
That's outside the box.
Those are your X Factor player. X Factor.
There you go, which is perfect.
So like very much. Oh, hey, I'm going to run this instead.
And just fucking annihilate.
I think what what the issue is for Seattle is they.
Lamar has a very accuracy, has a very structured way of playing Call of Duty.
Every time I hear his name, I think of GTA.
I'm sorry. But like Lamar, whatever you hear, like he is a very like
you'll hear him call like in the CDL, especially like during Vanguard.
I heard it the most is like they called it a Betty School of Rotations.
And like he is a phenomenal.
He is a phenomenal respawn and hard point player. OK.
Just because he is great fundamentals, he's very good about fucking
the basics of cod and like just the shit that you're supposed to do.
So he's about to be a fucking phenomenal ex defiant player.
Then he's thinking about breaking down to the basics.
Well, I think what it is is he needs to more.
The gun skill that he has, a lot of the younger cats
that are coming in are just have a better baseline,
you know, just because the more younger crack kids are coming in.
It's just it just happens.
Yeah. And we're all used to the old fucking.
But his fundamentals.
We try to adapt our old play styles into a new play style.
They just come straight into the fucking. Exactly. New style.
Yeah, so like it's always the.
He's extremely good.
He's phenomenal and one of the best like IGLs and team leaders in Call of Duty.
Yeah. But like it's just he's he's a man.
There's a younger man that he could step into a coaching position
and teach that man are to be the same.
Now you have you have accuracy to point out.
Like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Like, so I think it's time for me personally,
I think it's time for Lamar to step into a coaching position.
I think it's time for you to step up into a team, buddy.
I don't have the gun skill.
Don't don't shoot yourself short.
Oh, no, I know I don't have the gun skill, bro.
You put me in it. We work fucking hell hours.
Yeah, if I had the time to sit there and grind for fucking eight hours a day,
like, yeah, probably.
Yeah, I could probably get into some rec league and get onto a fucking team
and probably make a little bit of money. But like.
There's got to be a part time team somewhere.
Yeah, just at this point, bro, like I just it's
it's almost to the point where like I've overplayed myself on ranked
and like the just the enjoyment, you're just bored.
Just the enjoyment of fucking pub stomping, fucking some maps that I like
just is enjoyment enough for me right now.
Like I can hop on and play fucking a couple hours by myself
just playing fucking shoot house and just shit on people.
Every other map. I'm good.
Fair enough. Like my first map on this morning when I woke up,
I think I dropped like 45 kills. Fuck.
Fuck. I went 4040.
Oh, no. 47 kills with 41 confirmed.
So it's playing kill confirmed.
Yeah, 47 kills with 41 confirms and like
well, a picture didn't happen.
18 deaths or some shit like all bad.
I was like, that was a good fucking first game on and I'm just like,
that's a good one.
You must have played against all the newbies.
Like
it's just like so when does if I keep one MW3?
No, I was going to say when.
Oh, is that when the next CDL is? OK.
That was going to be my next question.
When is the next season?
When the new after the new games after the new game launches?
Is it dropping this year?
No. Yeah. November, I think.
October and November.
Normal launch time.
Right, because they were doing two years, right?
That was the rumor until everybody fucking hated that idea of having
the same competitive game for two years, because they've always had a new game
every year. Yeah, but that's fucking that's the way it goes.
A lot of these guys are playing the same game for 20 years.
But so that's the thing like look at Overwatch.
I understand that, but that's not how Call of Duty.
No, I know.
So like it's not how Pokemon is either.
That had been really cool if they didn't if they didn't give us
fucking broken games at launch.
Like that's normally why like this last CDL season started.
They fucking they rush it started before last Christmas.
Like right before last Christmas.
And then this is the longest off season the CDL has ever had,
like in between any like Call of Duty season ever.
This is the longest off. It makes sense.
I've heard that this is like the worst game.
This is one of the CDL. Yeah. Yeah. One of.
Everybody can get everybody.
Everybody hates you.
Everybody complained about MW 2019 MW.
Everybody complained about Vanguard competitively.
Cold war is hella bro.
No, Cold War. Everybody loves Cold War.
Yeah, that was my last Cold War. I like Cold War.
I thought Cold War was really fun.
It's still the only one I want to play.
Like I'd still I'm thinking about redownloading it and playing it.
You should we should on the Xbox.
Well, I think it's free right now.
Well, why we have it on Xbox.
Oh, that's right. I do have it.
You have it on Xbox. You game share with me.
That's how I have it on Xbox.
So I think the only one would is not on Xbox is MW to.
Yeah, because that's what I started.
Well, that's when you saw over to PC.
I swapped over to PC during Vanguard.
Which was after Cold War, wasn't it? Yeah.
So that's why. Yeah.
Yeah. So I swapped over to and now I can't play through Vanguard.
And then this episode, we are officially recording this episode
on a PC instead of a laptop. Congratulations to chaotic.
He's got his first official PC.
It's even got a colorful red fan and shit in it.
It's really not terrible either.
Granted, I'm coming from the laptop we've been using for the last fucking year.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Just wait till you start looking into like so you'll have you have
and you essentially have AMD products. Yeah.
So like you have the same shit that I did. It was pre-built.
I haven't. Yeah, I haven't done anything.
So like I literally just got it, put it on last night
the motherboard that you have in it.
It's an AMD motherboard, too, because you have to run the same shit. Right.
So anything that you look up, if you go outside of AMD,
you'll have to change your motherboard. OK.
So then you start adding like more fans and lights and shit to you.
Get to a certain point.
You'll have to change out your power source, which that'll be one of the next things.
Like if I start upgrading, that'll be one of the next things I need to do is upgrade.
I think the next thing this needs is a GPU.
Possibly I'll have to dig a little bit more into it, which I think that's your.
That's the so like I think your GPU and your graphics card
are all running on the same.
Probably because that's what I think you have the same one that I do
in my PC, and it's a it's a it's.
OK, that would make sense. It's AMD. So.
Either way, yeah, rise in AMD.
Yeah, yeah, that's exactly.
Hmm. Yeah.
I think I think this is pretty much the exact same as yours,
but a little bit less.
You have you just have a different you have a different case and more fans.
Do I have more fans? Mm hmm.
You have four. I think you have one.
There's two in the two in the front, one in the back.
And then one in the center. Is there one on the.
Yeah, that one. That's a light.
The light that's in the center of it. That's a fan.
There may be one on each side.
Oh, OK. OK. I thought for some reason, I thought that was.
Essentially, it's taking two here to funnel in one and then out one.
Yeah. So, OK, well.
So but like that's hoping that nobody can really hear it either.
So that's something that I want to do, too, is get a case like this,
especially and I just paid mine off yesterday.
So I would like I would like to see.
So I would like I just started my case.
There's the case that I would really like to get.
Kind of.
That would probably be a pain in the ass.
Swap cases like that.
Yeah, because we would have to fucking.
It's not it's not technically my PC yet.
So I can't do anything yet.
Not yet. I just got it.
Literally yesterday.
Give me a couple more.
But you paid yours off and I just got mine yesterday.
Yeah. Give me a give me a probably a couple more months of shit.
And I'm going to be like, I'm going to throw a new part of my PC.
This sucks, too. I want to upgrade my graphics.
I was waiting for you to pay yours off because you were going to go
get a new new one.
And I was thinking about it.
I was thinking about it.
But it's all good because like the upgrade to the one
probably to upgrade to the one that I would want to go to
is going to be over like two grand.
Yeah. I mean, this one's not bad for a starter for me.
And it's probably I'd say yours is probably like
probably like 12.
100 bucks, 12,000. Yeah.
Well, mine was eight.
Yeah, this one's about 12. Yeah.
I saw the sticker.
He showed me the original sticker price when I brought it home.
It was like 1230 something.
Yeah, because you got the you got the extra fan with the light.
But and then the bigger case.
But it also came with monitor keyboard.
So did mine.
Even just the tower by the five of the five terabyte hard drive,
external hard drive, all of it together was the 1200 some bucks.
Oh, yeah. See, mine was eight for the tower.
I'd be making payments on this.
So I know the person that let me take it home is listening.
So, yeah, make some payments on this bit.
I just I just like the clear case.
Shout out to my sister. I love you this time.
That's that's the biggest thing.
I like I like the light.
I want to get colored fans to have more than just like the green light
that I have on it.
And that light was pretty cool.
Like sitting here, I want to do a full like LED.
I want to do a full LED like rap.
I do too.
And all of this is the start of moving to the new office.
So now that this is here, you can make that bitch.
You can make that bitch fucking glow.
So now that this is here now, that bitch look like next desk
and get the nice desk started and then go in a second monitor,
go into the soundproofing first.
Oh, yeah. But go into the soundproofing first.
But once I get the desk to set this up, honestly, the phone for the crates
really is expensive.
No, but I want to do I got to do certain specific things
because it's it's just sound dampening.
But it's not soundproofing for sure.
But like the door needs to have a nice fucking seal on something thick.
I need to get some seals
padding on the walls.
It's more to keep the noise in.
You know, keep the outside noise out.
Because the kids.
That's why we're still in the garage, because it's fucking quiet in here
for some reason. God damn it.
Even with a fucking loud ass TV surround system
right on the other side of that wall.
With the other kids, but
man, it's a good episode, I think.
Yeah. You know, I got to tell you, though, real quick.
Hmm. I think I kind of mentioned it.
But so you're in the CDL now.
I'm going to update these people on what I'm into. Oh, yeah.
I'm in the VGC.
The Pokemon. Oh, yeah.
Like what?
We the North America champs was last weekend.
I think I told you about it. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Is that like so OK, is that like Pokemon cards or like so on Switch?
When they do the big tournaments like that, it's all three.
So it's it's the Pokemon game, like the mainline game,
which is what I normally play, which is what I used to play.
That's that's Scarlet, Scarlet and Violet.
It's it's always doubles, you know, like ladders.
You are you play bracket.
No, you play Swiss.
And then it goes to a ladder bracket ladder.
Oh, so you play. Oh, you do.
You do Swiss.
You get like wins to losses and you earn points.
Gotcha. For your wins and shit.
And then you move on to the next day.
So essentially you have a bracket.
So you have a pool play chunk and to seed into a bracket.
Pretty much. OK.
Oh, excuse me.
And so so like the old fucking Halo and COD tournament.
OK, yeah.
Yeah. So you'd have a pool.
Yeah. Open pool play to qualify into the bracket.
And you had to hit.
And then day two was always the bracket.
Yes. Just like that.
But it's always it's single people.
It's not it's not teams.
So it's a lot harder.
But so that's what I was into years ago.
So and I'll tell you that story in a minute
because I about cried the other night.
Just a heads up.
So, yeah, so they play the mainline game, one V1 type of shit.
And then they have the TCG, which they want one on one.
Same shit going at the same time.
Like it's big, huge convention center.
And they got like one stage is for like a few of the video games,
a couple of for the TCG.
Then they have one big stage for Pokemon Unite.
Which is their League of Legends, their gotcha Dota, whatever.
But it's on the switch.
It's free to play.
It's actually kind of fun. OK.
But there's they do teams five on five for that.
And it's they have them set up just like Kod does.
And it's fucking funny.
But for some reason, the web, I might have to go check that out.
The webcams they have.
And that's called what Pokemon?
Pokemon Unite.
It's it's actually really cool.
First person Pokemon.
No, not first. OK.
It's more like Dota, not League of Legends.
Oh, the overview or like.
Yeah. Where it's the map and you run around and then.
So like the over the like smite, but from the top.
So like Command and Conquer view. Kind of.
So, yeah.
And it's actually like really fun.
It's actually really fun.
But I thought about getting into Unite competitively,
but I got back into the main game competitively.
And so world champs are coming up
next month in August because we just had North America.
So they're going to do all three games like they normally do.
And it's literally like so they'll live stream it all on Twitch.
They'll do a fuck. What's it called?
You can watch all three.
Oh, a multi stream. Yeah.
So they'll literally do a multi stream.
You can watch all three on the same screen and bounce between them.
And it's cool because they'll do like people sit there and talk
for like a fucking half hour waiting for the next master's and shit.
Yeah. And then this match is going on.
So you just switch and switch and switch.
And even the TCG is not bad to watch.
I don't know what the fuck's going on.
Because I don't know. I never got it.
I never got into competitive like Yu-Gi-Oh.
See, I did for Yu-Gi-Oh, but not Pokemon.
I played tournaments with like, you know, play around with like you
and like friends in middle school and shit like that.
But I actually went to like regionals.
Yeah, I got invited to.
Not I got invited to nationals, but I couldn't make it.
So and then I just kind of imagine your bitch ass.
Be like, believe in the heart of the cards.
Don't hate.
I'm not hate.
I'm just talking shit because it's funny.
That blue eyes, Dick Dragon, the blue eyes, Ho Dragon.
You got the shadow dig jujitsu.
I got the blue eyes, Dick Dragon.
No doubt, you should.
Dark, McDickon, Dark, McDickon.
I used to play that for a while, though.
But so, OK, OK, OK.
I hear the bell.
You hear my son doing this.
Oh, and then the pop pops are like very silent.
So I about cried the other night.
I got to tell you this because I got to tell somebody.
I want to play Need for Speed.
You should listen to this, OK?
So I have you.
You haven't played any of the old Pokemon, have you?
Did you? Some, yeah.
OK, I used to play hard in X and Y, which was the three.
Yes. Right. So a couple of games behind didn't play that.
Didn't play that.
Didn't play the three. Yes, sir.
I did. I'm just saying, I didn't play three.
Yes, sir. Like not like maybe once or twice.
So that was the last one.
And then I think like I think it was Sun and Moon came out.
I stopped right before that.
And then the switch ones came out.
Gotcha. So.
I lost all of my Pokemon from way back then, I sold my three DS, sold everything,
just sold my account, right?
Well, I didn't realize that my accounts were linked.
So I've been over here playing violet for months,
building competitive teams and trying to play on the ranked and all that.
And fucking.
There's an app called Pokemon Home.
Oh, you already told me about that.
Did I tell you about Pokemon Home?
You told me about that a couple of episodes ago.
How? Because it's just happened literally last weekend.
You told me about it like two episodes ago or three episodes ago.
Oh, about the Pokemon Home that you can transfer between them.
Yeah, I got all 800 plus of my Chinese legendaries,
competitors and all that just literally a few days ago.
Yeah, you told me you've been waiting so you could transfer them.
I know. Yeah, yeah.
No, so you could transfer from Pokemon Go and shit into it.
Yeah, this linked to my old account, so I paid because it's free.
Or you pay a monthly subscription. Right.
I paid for the subscription, which is like 16 bucks for a year.
It unlocked an option to move Pokemon from Pokemon Bank, which was on three DS.
I didn't realize my accounts were hooked.
Like, I know I have the same email from like high school,
but I didn't realize I linked them.
I thought my account was gone. Right.
For that. Nope.
Because as soon as I paid, an option popped up.
It's like one o'clock in the morning. I'm laying in bed.
Like, got to go to work the next morning.
So, yeah, this was literally a few days ago.
And fucking it's like, would you like to move Pokemon?
Found like 800 plus Pokemon.
Would you like to move them to Pokemon Home?
I'm like, yes. Yes. What?
Yes. Question mark.
And so it took like 20 minutes, 15, 20 minutes.
Once it all got there, bro, I'm scrolling through it.
I'm like in tears.
I'm crying in bed.
Wife sleeping, so she don't even know.
I'm literally like, oh, my God, all of this work for the last
because I've got a lot like event shit you can't get anymore.
Duplicates, hella shinies, all that shit.
My competitive team that I can't even use half of it right now.
And that team will win.
I will. I will win a tournament every tournament with that team.
I guarantee it. I promise you.
So I got all my Pokemon.
Oh, you babies.
I got all my babies.
And now I have them locked and I know where they are.
Now I'm going into the competitive scene.
You said I'm back, bitches.
So after this world championship, I'm going to start playing regionals.
I'm going to you're going to see me on that stage, buddy.
When big old tenacious geek shirt.
Oh, bro. And then I need you in the CDL.
I need it. We need to conquer.
We need to conquer.
That's see, that's the step you get in because you actually can do that.
Then what we can do, you can get in with me. True.
But like, I don't have the raw gun skill to compete with fucking
like the younger kids and shit coming in, but I can coach.
Those who can't do teach.
All right, Ted Lasso.
Now I got you. I got you.
Those who can't do teach because I have a really good understanding of like
I just got like a really good understanding of like
how the basis of the game should be played. Like, yeah, you know,
what needs to be done.
You just can't move your hands fast enough.
It's just it's not even that it's like it's that to a point in some scenarios,
but it's also like.
One, having the people fucking around me,
so like I'm not fucking feeling like I have to try and do everything,
like constantly be hyper aware of the map, like I don't know why.
When I'm pub stomping, I'm much better just naturally looking at the map.
I'll get in my zone to where I don't look at the map
unless I know a UAV is popping because you know why.
You know why?
Because I'm not thinking about everything and I'm just playing near.
You don't have to worry about the team.
You don't have to worry about coaching everybody behind you, being the leader.
Calling out.
Maybe you just really need to just be a gunner.
Maybe you just need to grab an SMG and just go be an SMG.
Well, and that's when I grab my control, when I grab my controller
and I'm playing on controller, that's what I play 80 percent of the time.
Yeah, maybe that's what you need to do.
I go into this indeed just to be funny and just to see if I can do it.
That day is pull out a sniper.
I mean, do your call out still, but just run around and be like,
just let me in my zone.
I guarantee you somebody will pick you up.
Granted, then the question is, if somebody picks you up, are you moving?
At that point, I just don't have the time to get to that caliber.
That's the biggest issue is I don't have time.
It's hard. Like, bro, I spent if I did if I had done this when I was younger.
Oh, fucking absolutely. Right.
Fucking absolutely.
But that wasn't even a fucking no.
No. Like, I mean, it was.
I mean, our parents would not let us have fucking done that,
even if we were making money on it.
I don't know. I played UGIL tournaments.
My parents high school and shit.
But fuck no. But that was a you got to figure out.
That's why I couldn't go to Nationals when I was invited.
Was because I couldn't make it to California.
I'm only like 17. Right.
So a parent had to go with me.
You know, that's time off. Got to go to Cali. Right.
Hotel expenses for like three or four days for this big ass tournament.
Like, now they're like, you know, it's like, cool.
So and now I realize why they would say no.
But I mean, if my kids are invited to this big tournament they want to go to,
we'd figure it the fuck out.
I'll figure it the fuck out.
But it's a little bit different, though, like that.
That was our like that was still part.
That was still partially like our passion is just like
more competitive game style of play, just in.
Well, yeah. I mean, that was more me and you, Gio.
But you know what I'm saying? I didn't play Pokemon, too.
That was like we're just more like when it comes to car games
and shit like that, like your you like the more that's more.
Yeah, yeah, like just playing.
We like playing more competitively, like we just always have.
We're just naturally more competitive people.
Well, when you grow up on the games we used to play,
going from a single player with nothing into fucking just straight halo.
And I blame halo for everything.
Halo started the competitiveness in everybody.
Online gaming started.
Xbox Live started and then Call of Duty started.
Yep. As I remember, I remember Call of Duty.
I was at the first Modern Warfare was the first online
because World at War wasn't.
Yes, it was.
Was World at War online. It was online.
You're right. That was the first one.
That was also the first zombie one, too.
Well, also, you got to realize the very first Call of Duty game
was actually on PC.
No, I know. I'm talking about the first online one. Yeah.
So it was I know we had there was like one or two Call of Duty games
that were like on like the very first one was on PC.
And then I don't I think the next one after that, they switched over to console.
But it was a couple of years later.
Yeah. That's when the console movement's happening.
But I think the first Call of Duty game was on PlayStation two.
No PlayStation two and we.
Because World of War was only two.
Oh, that's right. I keep thinking of World War two.
No World at War.
Yeah, I think was I remember that being the first one I had on.
Yeah, because that was the one that was the one you can get the gun for.
Yeah. Yeah.
And then but CSGO was way more competitive.
That was out for a while.
CSGO has been fucking dude.
They have they've been running on CSGO for fucking like 10 years.
And they just finally got a fucking early CSGO two.
And it's essentially the same fucking.
But that was all that was only PC shit.
So I didn't get into that.
CSGO is still only PC.
Yeah. But so I didn't get it.
Like, I think Valorant's only PC, too.
No Valorant on Xbox is it on console?
It's on Xbox. I don't remember.
I know it first started out only on PC.
Well, so did a lot like Minecraft.
Well, it's like Apex, Apex only started like Apex started out on console
and then and then got on PC.
Yeah, it was first released, I think.
Xbox and PlayStation.
And then they announced on Switch.
Now it's on mobile.
Well, now it's completely cross platform.
Yeah, like it when I know, I remember when that game came out.
It was not cross platform whatsoever.
PlayStation played with PlayStation.
Xbox played with Xbox. Yep.
And it was fucking glorious.
I love that game at first came out.
So like for a free to play game, bro,
that was one of the best launched games in a long time.
And it had a really good launch, like no little to no problem.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
It was one of the best.
Like, as long as it like Apex was in production
and like the basis that they took it from, like, yeah, being a free to play game,
like it they were building expectations.
Well, they were building it for a while.
And it's it's technically Titanfall two point five.
Yeah. In a way.
Yeah, it's just a more deep.
They already had expanded into fucking Titanfall. Right.
They already had the groundwork there.
You know, Titanfall and Titanfall two already had the weapons.
They had they had everything.
Titanfall two than Titanfall. Yeah. But yeah, more to. Yeah.
But they already had the groundwork.
Fall was fucking essentially twice the fucking game.
The Titanfall two is twice the game.
The fucking Titanfall was.
Yeah, I don't know, though.
Well, all Titanfall one of the original.
I love. Well, all the original Titanfall was was really just a multiplayer game.
That's all it was. Yeah.
Like even in story mode, you had the campaign and all that. Yeah.
They actually finally added a true campaign because that was the one thing
that the community like Titanfall community bitched about.
I remember was not having a legitimate campaign
because you had to have an online connection the whole time.
You couldn't play offline.
No. Yeah. You couldn't strictly online. Yeah.
And it's the same as a battle front.
Star Wars Battlefront.
When they redid it, the first battlefront was online only.
Oh, that's right. Competitively original Xbox.
No, for when they redid it for Xbox one.
And PS4, the new battle.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When they redid it, that one was only online.
I think it still is.
And then Battlefront two came out with a kind of a campaign style.
Same thing with Titanfall did.
I think that's what because that was what the Xbox one was originally doing
was going into that all online.
It's hard to play it offline kind of thing. Right.
Because it was because it's an all in one.
That was the whole story mode.
That was the whole reason for
because Titanfall launched with Xbox one.
Mm hmm. That was the whole process with that was it to stay online.
Right. You know, boot your TV with it.
The whole all in one console.
PS4 was like, man, our Internet sucks anyway.
So. But yeah.
And now look where we are.
Should still be over.
Call it a war. Yeah.
I still remember when Xbox was supposed to launch the
the fucking disk shit.
I can't remember what they actually called it, but they were.
So when Xbox one was coming out, one of the biggest things was
they were going to let you take all your disks, go online,
and they were going to make them digital for you.
So you could like resell them back to GameStop or something.
Oh, God. Or let somebody borrow it.
Just digitize your library.
Pretty much. And then nobody like that. Not at all.
Everybody hated it.
Oh, my kid is mad. I'm going to go punch him.
Oh, you don't see the shiner on him already.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah, so that was a big thing.
OK, that do you talking about that kid?
It's like a 12 year old.
Dude, that kid hits like a fucking man.
He's too.
So I'm saying, bro, he hits like somebody 10 years.
Actually turns three in a month.
Literally a month and like a few days.
All right. Well, I think this has been a good podcast.
I like it. It's been a good one.
We had we didn't do one last.
Happy late 4th of July, everybody.
Happy late 4th. Happy Independence Day.
We went the bang bang skeet skeet.
Yes. What did you do?
Blew up the fireworks. Yeah.
Well, gave them neighborhoods pretty good show.
So did we pass out sparklers to all the neighborhood children.
I got into it with the neighbor over here. Nice.
Oh, yeah. Offered a beard. She shut up real quick.
I got to tell you the story.
So but this has been episode what? 20.
This is episode 20.
This is officially episode 20 of the Tenacious Geeks podcast.
We wow. Yeah.
Whole make it this far.
I was hoping or episode 200.
We're getting there.
Yep. And we show is going to be like one piece.
And we're not going to end.
And we and we and thanks to the new people that we have been hearing
and seeing an incline of viewers and followers and downloads.
And thanks all, you new geekers, geeky motherfuckers
coming to the bullshit for us to inseminate your ear holes.
Ear balls. Say it right.
With the ear balls.
See it right.
And inseminate your ear balls.
We're in the discord with our verbal
halal halal halal bakalanda, but.
So you want to hear somewhere? I had this idea.
Why do you always do this to me in the middle of the outro?
OK, all the time. OK.
No, they already started it as well.
Finish it now. I was going to say I'm
starting to do some Pokemon giveaways to people that rate and review us
during our discourse and I'm going to start doing some shiny giveaways.
I was going to say, you know, maybe why some things working up here
If you play Pokemon.
Well that maybe...
We need to start thinking about merchandise.
Oh, it's on there, buddy.
Don't worry.
This has been another of the 18ish's Geeks.
I am Fergie, that is chaotic.
I am the Ho Ninja, he is the Ho Hero, this is the Ho Show, we are the Ho Out.
