You are now tuned in to Season 2 with your host, the slippery online streamer warlord, Fergie, and the cinema showstopper, old Pokemon master, Chaotic, and introducing the newest member, Dolphin. This is Tenacious Geeks!
The full 24 hours! Oh my bad. You are officially, you are officially 24 hours late to your own fucking podcast. Yes. I'm always late. We've established this. Yep, you're gonna be late to your own goddamn funeral. Sure. You won't even show up to his funeral.
I'll re-break open the bottle and fuck that shit. I mean, you're not wrong. I'd be dead. Yep. And then plan on, plan on kicking a little stream for a little bit after the PAW today, at least for a short gander, you know.
The semi-fizinals? I guess we could play some finals. Yeah. So you guys keep getting me to download all these games to play with you guys, like, are any of you actually gonna swallow it up and fucking download Warzone to play with me?
I fucking hate this game. I'm just gonna say that. I had to get it out. The finals? I fucking hate this game. And download Warzone. I can't fucking stop putting it, I gotta put it down and I can't stop.
What game? Finals. Don't don't learn last night. I was out there playing on the Xbox. Figure out how to figure, let me fully figure out how to play light. I'm gonna start shitting on people. That's what I've been playing is light.
But you're too soft. It was hard. You can ask Dolphin, bro. I was fucking even being like, feel like I was shooting Marshmallows and fucking being super spudgy. Like I was this close to still take it out.
People like first. Okay, but I mean, you're also running into a massive squad of people on your own. Yeah, exactly. When I went in one V1 bra shit on him. What are you talking about?
I didn't kill any of them. Hey, when I had my ones on one V1s, I was waiting 70 78% of my one V1. Yeah, when I go in and don't realize there's three or I'm getting a call out super late in quick cash kills don't matter for anything.
And I like whose line is it anyway. I mean, there is a game that is me and there's just me and frag and some random.
It's okay. We won. And I think me and frag maybe had two kills our teammate had zero.
And none of us had revives like we were like way by far the lowest scoring team out of three, and we still want just because we just kept stealing it from people.
We're just stealing it at the last second. Yeah, if it works, it works. So but talk about video games and different stuff like we got we have fucking you guys seen that there's Lego and Fortnite now. Yeah, I heard about it.
Yeah, it's essentially it's essentially fucking Lego Minecraft. Yeah, there's my head in it too. I mean, which is kind of which is, I mean, it was kind of cool. I played it for all of like 10 minutes and I'm like, I don't have the attention span for this.
So I don't play Minecraft. Dude, I used to play Minecraft for days. I think if you're a Lego fan, then you would really enjoy this.
Did I put it? I'm not getting if you're if you're a Lego fan before you will enjoy this.
Like, yeah, it's yeah, I just don't understand Lego fan. You will enjoy this. I just don't understand why Fortnite literally has to have their hand and fucking 37 million baskets.
They keep relevancy like the because they're losing fan base. Hence why they have OG come back for so long and then why they switched to new built like why they brought in zero build.
I mean, originally, that was what they were dying when it was a PVE and then they brought in the battle.
Damn, I keep fucking my new things are magnets. I don't think the game was released in those PVE for the zombie game.
Yes, it was. That was the original. That was the original mode for it to play. It was PVE was the zombie.
No idea. No, that was how it was originally released to.
And then it doesn't necessarily have the biggest following come out.
And then they released about a royal because they started seeing like PUBG and all that become popular.
And they're like, well, fuck it. We'll do something different because we already have a platform for building in an open world.
So just shrink it down and put it in a B.R. boom. Done.
I mean, he's not wrong.
Yeah, that's pretty much how the B.R. came because it was an it was essentially like an update to be like, oh, we're bringing this new thing.
And it just fucking hit like wildfire.
No, no, no, no, no, you are wrong.
The Save the World PVE campaign was set to be launched for free in twenty eighteen, but a specific date has not been announced.
The sale of it is not released. The world is already out. I've watched the gameplay on Fortnite.
Save the world. Yeah.
I don't follow for that that closely.
Yeah, that's what I regurgitated was from a dev was from a dev interview with a dev from Fortnite.
Just really in my own way.
Yeah, fuck for that anyway.
From what I had heard and listened to, I don't remember what it was from, but they were saying that even before the PVE released, they were noticing PUBG.
And so they just made the spin off Battle Royale and really and released that first.
I mean, I know the cons.
I know at minimum the concept of PVE was the player versus environment.
They're fucking was the original idea for sure.
Was the was the original launch and or launch idea.
Yeah. And then there was a battle royale because it's well, they still have they still they still watched.
They still watched the PVE. They still did it like it was fucking for night.
Save the world or some shit, which was it was a huge thing for like a month and then everybody just went back to the BR.
Yeah, but they saved the world was originally supposed to be the original game.
There was never supposed to be a battle royale.
Yeah. And then they saw the popular.
Well, that's what I was. That's what I was saying.
I may not have said it the same way, but that was the original concept and supposed to be the release concept of Fortnite was PVE.
Yeah.
This is what I was saying. And then because they either a weren't seeing the popularity or sales revenue or whatever the fuck it was
and then decided to release the battle royale because they were seeing the popularity and boom of how battle royales were coming up because there was H1Z1,
which is about a royal style.
And then you had fucking PUBG, which fucking took off.
And then I think there was like I think there was one more to like PUBG is free.
Yeah. And it's still one of those before either.
Yeah, I was by it.
I have my fucking money back, please.
Right. Dude, imagine us players.
I've played it for a matter of three hours.
Like I said, imagine us Destiny players, bro.
They made the base game free.
Kind of how I feel with this. I get my 70 bucks back.
Oh, but that is our stop.
So how's everybody doing?
We are the tenacious geeks. I am Ferg. That is Dolphin here in my center.
We are recording on Discord and we have Mr. Grumpy Puss chaotic, the master of the beat, beat, beat, beat, beat, Mr. Buttons himself.
This bitch.
I like that. I thought you did.
So sorry, we are.
We are recording a little bit late.
We had a fiasco last night because James didn't want to get off the couch and that fucking show.
I'm sorry. I got I didn't realize I watched like three episodes sitting there or two episodes while I was eating.
It's always something. I mean, that's it's just that the captain buttons is just what we're going to give you, because if we keep giving you nicknames, they're just going to slowly get more.
All I do, all I'm picturing is James just sitting there on his couch eating fucking mac and cheese.
It's not even with the utensil, just like an absolute degenerate just by the out of the fucking pot, dude, just with his fucking hands.
It's a natty light on his fucking thigh. Fucking. No, it's got to be a keystone.
So you can call yourself keystone.
No, you're all you're all so wrong.
She stands on your on your wife.
How trash could we pay him for the next five minutes?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, she may be my cousin. What about it?
I'm your sister. I'm your sister. I'm your sister.
Oh, my God, brothers, that fucking scene. Oh, my God. That's great.
Oh, man. How was you guys this week? We get going.
How was the week you week going? I said how the week and weekend going for you all.
OK, exhausting.
It was it was productive for the most part.
OK, well, it's hard. Did some car stuff. It's a car stuff.
It's some workout stuff that just did stuff that some stuff had that job interview.
That was that was nifty. Got the job. Did that go OK?
I thought you said you got the job earlier. OK. Yeah.
Yes, we need everybody clap for dolphin.
Papi, she. Yeah.
Yeah.
How about how about you, Mr. James?
Well, I watched Jack Reacher all weekend.
Drank way too fucking much. I got an episode and a half and I'm done with the whole season.
And that's the one with Friday. That's the one with fucking sad, right?
Yeah. Yeah, I've seen that shit. He is a dude.
He is huge in that show. Like so good.
I never realized how big that motherfucker was because of Blue Mountain State.
Like they don't even have the like it like he he's bigger than he was in Blue Mountain State for sure.
But like even his acting, bro, is so much better, so much better.
He didn't have to be a fucking straight up fucking think of like the complete opposite of that.
I think this mother's heart is like the rock like the rock meets fucking Jason Statham.
OK. Oh, well, actually, that's better. So do Jason Statham meets Sheldon from Big Bang Theory.
OK, like over and then meet with a little bit of Sherlock Holmes in there.
I like Sherlock. He overanalyzes every single thing in a fight and everywhere.
And he's like a super fucking investigative genius.
It's come up late. It's like in like it's crazy, but he's like super logical.
These dudes walk up. They're like.
Just tell him to do something. He's just no blank face.
No. It's it's good.
It's good. It's funnier when you watch it, though.
Oh, I almost fart pooped.
That was rough. It's good. It's good.
I believe that's the only thing you start.
No, it's called a poop. No, that's yeah.
So that's you.
No, you're thinking of a shit fart, not a fart poop.
But. We got DLC coming on Thursday, so I'll have stuff talk about later.
DLC stuff with DLC.
We've got the new DLC for Pokemon dropping Thursday.
Oh, man.
So this is this is going to be one of the first times or the only one of the few times
we've recorded the podcast after the matches are done in the weekend of Coliseum.
So we can actually go so we I can actually go over like all of the matches and then a quick touch up.
But what will be going for next for next weekend for the last part of qualifiers before the Christmas break?
But we'll talk about that later in the show.
I hate you.
Oh, I'm bugged by the Ebenezer screws.
You can get the fuck out. I hate this Ebenezer James fucking Lyric.
Hello, Instagram.
I want to go check her out. She's got a metal cover of fucking Carole the Bells and it's fucking fire.
Is this another bluff goth mom?
No. OK. She's a singer.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's just a goth mom.
No, yes.
And how it's just a goth mommy goth wife.
I have a problem. I know.
It's OK, Dolphin. We love you for it.
Oh, we know.
That's probably partially why we love you.
Because you just come with instant ammo that's just instantly get viable.
So but it's any.
Yeah. Anything else pretty basic for you to sounds like?
I mean, yeah, I just want to play the finals.
I just want to play the finals.
That's all you've been talking about all week, bro.
I swear, bro, I played all I spent all weekend playing it for the most part.
You know, besides doing some car shit and then, you know, you know,
prep and working out and spent the entire weekend playing it.
I was I was in snow.
I was I was I was in snow.
That's that is what I did this weekend.
I mean, arguably, I wish I was.
It's it's not as enjoyable when you got to travel five hours to go.
Yeah, yeah.
But at least you go see.
It was. Yeah, it was super pretty.
That's a lot of fun. The kids had a blast.
It definitely definitely would rather go and do like a during the week,
like during the week kind of time instead of like on the weekend,
like especially like this this last weekend, the weekend before.
And this coming up weekend are all like the tree lighting weekends that they do.
And it's like every Saturday or whatever.
So like it just bucks up the whole town.
And so like there's like a little like hill through Main Street that everybody will like slide down and like be AJB and too little like me and him went down once.
And I was like, no, brothers kids going in here like he's going to get knocked the fuck over.
I'm going to fucking throw some kid and then knock out somebody's dad.
Yeah, I'm not trying to get arrested.
Leavenworth, my fucking six hours away from like so Charlie went with grandma and stuff like that.
They went down a few times and I made sure that she could go down and went up a couple of times with her, you know,
and fucking let her go down, blah, blah, blah, wrote down with her.
But it was just it was just way too many motherfucking people.
Like I was about to start fucking drop kicking people like the first time she went down, like people were cutting her,
like cutting her and shit and getting out of the fucking way.
And like when I went up with her the second time when we came back later and shit, hoping it would die down a little bit.
No, it was like people are coming out and like these kids literally just like truck up the side,
don't even make it up the full lip of the hill and then try and sit in front of her.
I was like, oh, yeah, fuck out the way, kid.
So both you little bitches can fuck yourselves all the way to the back.
Wow. You tell them kids, I will front kick you down the hill.
I don't I enjoy the kids that I claim as like my own, as in like my people's kids.
And like I consider like family and shit like that.
You know, I call my nephews or my kids and shit.
I mean, James, you understand.
But it's like besides that, if you're not one of like, quote unquote,
like my kids that I look at and like that aspect like. Fuck your kids.
I mean, when I say fuck them kids, that's specifically referring to my kids.
When I say fuck your kids, that's you know, I'm going to go back to it.
I want to go back to my favorite saying, man, some people's kids.
I don't register for fucking everybody because everybody's subtle.
It's it's I mean, it rolls off the tongue like fucking butter.
And then not only that, but it's a double insult because you're insulting the child.
And then you're insulting the person that raised or persons that raise those child.
So it might be a three way fucking insult.
I mean, it's just fucking it hits all the goddamn keys that you ever fucking want.
It's fucking great.
I don't know. I think my hands down favorite has to be bless your heart.
Yeah, you got to be selling to say that you got to say it with the twang.
If you're on the twang, it doesn't have the same meaning.
Oh, bless his heart.
You do that a little too well.
Motherfucker, I was raised in Idaho.
The fuck you expect Idaho is not no, no, no, no.
That is the Alabama fucking the Northwest.
Thank you.
That's closest to fucking redneck and Southern is you're going to get.
Hello. I keep dropping these goddamn things.
Well, I'm not flinging it around.
I'm just spinning it.
God damn it. I'm sorry.
They told I'll show you.
So they're they're little, you know, would you do it?
Geez. But
that's
side A and side B. God damn it. They're two different flavors and it's just fun to fidget and spin them.
That's all I'm doing is literally just spinning it around.
You spin me right around, baby.
Right.
Of course, you my blinking describes my disdain.
Slow blink and sometimes like not in rhythm.
No, just just repeated blinking just nonstop.
Motherfucker, motherfucker, motherfucker, sometimes you blink like a me out.
I want to hear it.
Meow.
No, no, no, bitch. I said me out of not meow.
OK.
Yeah.
Oh, open ears.
Which of you balls is a cat and he's a dolphin.
Bro, I got a question for you. I mean, this is just this is just contact because it's funny and we're recording.
We have to talk shit to each other.
In fact, we're essentially going nowhere with podcasts at the moment.
But like, what would you do if you worked with somebody that identified as a cat and he was a dude?
I'd bring treats in.
And then video it.
I would put his ass in a cage.
And I'd probably bring a little box to the collar and a leash on it.
You can't use the bathroom.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He already has he already has the leash in his tool bags.
Yeah.
OK, you can't use the bathroom.
And you got to sit in that box right there.
Right.
He already has the litter box on the back of his car.
Well, you got to bring it inside the shop.
You got to shit in front of all of us where we can watch you.
Whack.
Bad Miss Kitty.
I've been watching like I've been I've been coming back around to like Ricky and the Boss's like TikTok content again.
And shout out to them.
They love him is probably like my favorite, like blue collar, like content creator, like comedy wise.
And that's the stick that he's been on has been like they now have like all of his characters.
But then now there's this new guy that's fucking that identifies as a cat.
And like the old dudes like he starts doing weird shit.
I'm a fuck him up.
Yeah, I mean, when I come across the whole identification thing with fucking the word, I was going to say, yeah, we're not going to get too deep into that whole fucking conversation.
I thought it was OK that we then we can relaunch and do fucking us as an episode of fucking ADHD.
But tenacious eat that fucking podcast.
I just had a question because I started it.
It was you started it.
Yeah, it was just how you how would you react on the initial thought?
That was the question.
OK, you don't take it any deeper than that.
Got it. I got this.
James loves to take a deep idea.
He doesn't know how to fucking not to.
Yeah. OK, I got this.
The fucking finals. Boop.
Yes, I hate this game.
I hate it. I hate it. I fucking hate it.
I want to delete it, but I can't.
And I keep playing it and playing it.
Why do you hate it?
Mm hmm. Good at it. Yeah.
Because that's why.
Well, you're not going to let you know that you're not going to be modern.
It's OK. Everything. OK, it's fucking like.
I started playing medium for a while, and then I tried heavy.
I tried all of it, and it's just like, oh, I thought I feel heavy and can't do shit.
I know what you were talking about, bro.
I was playing heavy last night with Fergie and I was fucking market on people.
Go watch my VODs. I just said we was moving heavy feels
way too tanky for like any of this shit.
So he can't. I was like, I was doing everything.
I mean, you can't do that shield in a corner where they can't get above you, bro.
And you are going to streak that ass if I just I don't have any.
Well, neither do I.
I like having all the heels and shit, but that the fucking AK and all the other guns
these guys just try to find a way better MP5.
And then that's only on like once I got that, once I got the MP5,
I started getting way more consistent.
I didn't I didn't like it on light.
I think I was using the XPR, the XR some fucking fucking Mac 10 or whatever the fuck it is.
No, it's like XR something, and it's probably the only gun I'm decent with.
Did Fergie had that LNG on the heavy?
I had the shotty and I would put up my fucking my shield, bro, my Q and we'd just fucking like Fergie, get behind me.
Fucking two thousand, two thousand fucking damage worth a fucking shield in front of us.
Fergie just popping people off from behind my shield, dude.
It's fucking great.
What do you just spray and pray?
No, dude, Fergie works with that fucking LNG, dude.
It's because he doesn't have to reload.
Yeah, and I can just praise and praise.
He just consistently I can consistently hold a shot at a fucking level.
Thanks Call of Duty for helping me with my fucking centering.
Well, dude, that was a fucking hack, dude, because we get into some shit.
I pop my shield Fergie just pop behind me and just fucking start killing everybody.
Well, I know is either that or you just catch me in a corner, pop up my little like deployable shield thing and just start like spam crouching and shit.
I fucking I was in there playing on the Xbox.
I can't play controller anymore.
I can't. I was trying so hard.
The aim assist on that, though, dude, you want to talk about the aim assist on bloodhunt with a controller.
Go play finals with a controller.
I'm thinking about it.
Ridiculous like I'm getting kills for days.
Can't steal shit.
Save my life. So we're losing.
My I always get stuck with teammates that don't do shit.
Except maybe you.
I haven't played with you yet, but at least you.
I'm hyper aggressive and I'm they don't fucking do they don't.
It's plain. It's plain from it's from playing SMG on Call of Duty.
I am hyper aggressive.
Like it's an objective.
It took a good hour for Fergie to not bum rush into.
No, no, no, no, not not. I mean, yes, to not die consistently, but to not just straight bum rush by himself into a crowd.
Because it's like it's just I mean, I do it, too.
I do, you know, see one and think I can grapple into them because it looks like a medium or a light and like, I'll get in and like, there's a lot of times where I'd like bomb in there, take one out.
And it's like, OK, cool. The next thing I know is two other teammates are coming from the floor like went down.
Well, we're like halfway across the map because we're actually going to the objective.
I'm over here like, oh, good shots. Warzone.
Yeah. But so my biggest red dots on a mini map.
My biggest like thing with this game is fucking like I'll start popping shots into somebody.
Get half a mag into them and then one shot.
I'm dead. No matter what fucking class I think her.
Fucking. I got some of my eyes.
I was going to say, I noticed that like the MP5 looking guns slapped pretty slapped pretty good for the medium class.
I was getting. Yeah.
Yeah. Then for the medium class, I was I was noticing that the fucking scar looking or the scar was scar look like it slapped pretty hard.
And then James fucking hated it.
Dude, I was getting fucked. Yeah. The hollow hollow sided one.
I hate that guy. I was getting eaten alive.
Yeah, it's fucking like it does damage, but you got to hit every shot.
There's only like 20 rounds in it.
It's like it just it shoots slow.
So I mean, when you're in combat with shit, you know, that's also called knowing, knowing, knowing how to play the gun that you're using.
That's why I like technically the way that I was playing is the way that you're supposed to play that character.
But normally you're like, I isn't supposed to be the first one in unless they have a clear out above or behind.
Like, I know how to play these kind of games.
It's just like they're no team, you know, no team dynamic with a bunch of regular people to play on and not knowing the maps.
It's really hard and been like, oh, that's right. I can just drop fucking C4 here.
Yeah, dude, that's what I like.
We'd be running around and Fergie is like trying to like go through.
I'm like, no, no, no, Fergie. Hold up. I'm going to blow a hole in the roof.
I can blow it. He's like, oh, OK.
And then next thing you know, you just see me on top of a building, just start fucking bridge.
You're fucking floors. It's so that part's fun.
Blowing up the building. My favorite part is is getting the cash outs from levels below, especially in the casino.
Like in the casino, there's a cash out that's right above like the bar.
And you have to hop up on this like fucking little this weird little squiggly fucking dividers.
But you could throw a breach charge up there and you could just fucking collide it, bring it down onto the roof above the bar.
And you could just fucking camp up there until they bring that down.
But, oh, man, it's great. I love bringing the fucking cash out out down to you like not.
You guys. What about what?
Yeah, everybody cash out me.
That's when you go fund me page hashed hashtag not out.
Hashtag not it hashtag not an ad.
He's not a real dolphin.
No, but I do identify as a dolphin and I do and I do want to get my my chain, my my mammalian sex change operation.
All right. You've been watching too much South Park.
You're grounded. You're fucking grounded and get things and girls and everything.
Anime. You're fucking anime.
No, that's straight from South Park. It is.
He's he's quoting South Park like directly.
Kyle's dad.
Okay.
Turned into a fucking shark.
Oh, yeah. I was like, it was a dolphin.
Yeah. Yeah.
You say South Park.
Yeah. First thing that pops into my head.
Oh, okay.
As many.
Oh, yeah.
The finals is great.
I love it.
Issues.
I'm heavily debating on buying the battle pass.
It's so stupid that nothing else is free in there.
That's how they get you some micro transactions.
But it's like every other game at least has like free stages to keep you in.
I mean, my dad has gotten free stuff.
I haven't seen anything free in the battle pass.
I've gotten pants and shoes and fucking gotten those little packs and a bucket hat.
You're a.
I don't cosmetic shit like that.
I don't bother me anymore. No.
But I feel like at this point that I enjoy the game so much.
Like, I mean, I did it with Apex once when I first started playing is like,
Hey, thanks. I show supports show support.
Spend 10 bucks. Yeah, I used to do that.
But then again, I also got to unlock the character too.
I mean, when Call of Duty Endowment was doing their show with Taco Bell this last year,
like every time I bought Taco Bell, I donated to Call of Duty Endowment.
Call of Duty Endowment, which is from the vets and shit like that.
More of a Super Single fan, but Duallys are cool.
See, you get Super Singles though.
You can't limp anywhere if you lose one.
You know what I'm saying? At least if you're rolling two skinnies,
at least you can still limp somewhere if you lose one.
Yeah.
But Super Singles.
You lost me.
You're the truck driver.
I was going to say, you know what a Super Single is, right?
So I'm about a single and then a limp and you know,
so you don't limp and I'm over here thinking like you got like six legs over here.
OK, Dually, Dually, think of a Dually.
You got you got wheels like this.
Look at the screen. Look at the screen.
Look at me. Look at me. Look at me.
I'm the captain now. Dually, Dually, Super Single.
The width of a Dually, but in one wheel.
Got it. OK. Yes. Yes. I got it.
Class is over. It just it took me a second because the way he was explaining shit just lost me.
That's just the way I was saying it. I fully kept on track.
I was zoning. You lost me.
So fully we were talking about finals to fucking now we're going to talk about Call of Duty.
Super Singles and Super This.
You said Call of Dually.
So now we're going to finish the transition to Call of Duty and talk about the matches that happened over the weekend.
So we had matches on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
These were the first qualifying matches for major one that are going to be in late January,
which we have more matches coming up this weekend.
And then there'll be the break for Christmas and then New Year.
I got a question. OK, so they I think I know the answer to this,
but why do they do matches to get into a qualifier to go into the actual tournament?
These are the qualifying matches.
OK, you made it sound like they had to do matches to get into a qualifier.
So these are the pool.
No, so my regular session that qualifier, then you get into the, you know,
well, see, you have just weird.
Well, you have you have 12 pro teams that are that are in the league.
So for each so for each major tournament you have last year was five.
Now it's seven.
Now you have seven online qualifier matches that you play in like
four or five weeks or some shit like that leading up to the tournament.
And then that sets your seating within that tournament.
And then where you place in that tournament gets you points
and the online matches get you points and qualifications for champs,
which is the last tournament at the end of the year, which will be like in.
Sometime after May, I think I don't remember exactly or in May.
Oh, gotcha. That's that's how I took it.
So that's what it sounded like.
Yeah. So this weekend, the these are the qualifying.
So as we have next weekend and then for the first two qualifying weekends
and then we have Christmas break for them, they have break for Christmas and New Year's
and directly after New Year's that first weekend after they're back into the last set of qualifiers
for the majors at the end of the month at the end of January.
I think it's like the 20.
Or fourth through the 28th or some shit like that.
So innocent is in Boston.
Boston, it's in Boston.
So we had on on Friday, we had let me show them on the right date.
We had L.A. Thieves playing Seattle and Seattle actually took that in a 3-1.
Like I was saying earlier, Seattle is looking mighty nice, mighty, mighty, mighty nice.
But a lot of pretty much all but the rookie on the team this year have fucking a champs ring.
Like.
Ily, Ily and Hook won champs to get one champs together in MW2 2019 MW2.
R-Cities one got his ring with FaZe in in Cold War.
And then we have a new cat that one that one challenges champs last year.
So that AmCircuit or whatever that's a rookie this year that is pretty fucking gross.
So this whole team is playing fucking playing real good.
So gross. He's just fucking sway.
He's as as as as as Jinx he would say he's got a good day.
OK, so Seattle's Italian, something like that.
But Seattle actually took that in a 3-1 fashion.
So they took it pretty pretty they took it pretty dominantly and went to a map for in Seattle took one three and four.
I think thieves won either the search and destroy their control.
But I think the one the control may have been the hard point.
The first map. But besides that, Seattle looks pretty dominant through the rest of the maps that they played.
So the next match that we had after that was Optic Texas and Seattle era and New York Seattle.
So blinders, New York subliners and it was a close match went to a map five.
I think it went to a round 11 to in the fifth round in New York took it three to in New York.
Subliners are last year's champs from MW or Modern Warfare 2019.
The original one is when Ily and Hook won their ring and then.
Subliners are the champs of MW2 from last year.
Wait, so they get rings like football people?
Uh huh.
That's weird.
Yep. Yep.
And like so I saw the ring.
I don't think they've shown the rings that they won last year for MW2, but the rings that the thieves got for Vanguard.
It was essentially it was a version of a Super Roaring like straight up.
I would sell it.
That's they've been that's how they've been the last like 10 years is that that style of ring.
If you win like turn it if you win the champs tournament like the big one or worlds or whatever the fuck it was, depending on the time.
Yeah, you've got a fucking you've got a ring for it.
Like that's why I like.
Can you just buy me like a Ford Raptor R instead?
Like you're going to spend a grand on a ring, can you just buy me a dope ass car?
I fucking hate jewelry.
I mean, that's like, do whatever the fuck you want with it, I guess.
Can you give me like a hundred thousand dollar gift card to McDonald's?
I'd rather have that.
Dude, OK.
Do you eat McDonald's, bro?
That one doesn't make sense to me.
I just go spend the gift card and buy the McDonald's.
OK, at that point, you might as well just start up your own franchise to be cheaper and you make more money in the long run.
Well, since you're over here talking about champs over here or qualifiers.
Right.
And I can I finish?
I got at least one more for one more for Friday and then I got two more days to talk about.
And then we had it.
We got Atlanta phase.
We got Atlanta phase, we got Atlanta phase in Boston breach to round out the day to round out Friday.
And it was actually that was a pretty good map.
That was a pretty good match to went to a map five.
I remember how deep and when I may went to like around 10 or 11 or something like that.
But I'm Atlanta phase ended up taking it to the end three to.
So but what would you like to say before we got forget into Saturday's matches?
Oh, no, go for it, buddy.
Oh, yeah. Finish ship for going to take over like that.
I didn't think I thought you were on my back.
Right. You sons of bitches.
So but Saturday, Saturday to start out, we had Carolina Ronald Ravens versus the Miami Heretics,
which is the new Spanish Spanish team you've heard me talk about when we have talked about Call of Duty on the podcast.
We can't get all that bottle, boy.
They sound like Halo guys.
Heretics.
So Heretics has been been and actually in eSports eSports organization that's been around for a while.
I think they I think they were in Halo at one point in time, but they're a Spanish or they're a Spanish or they're from Spain.
They're fucking weird.
Yeah. And they took it over Carolina 3-0.
And then after that, we had what was it?
We had a Vegas Legion and Minnesota Rocker, which Legion actually ended up taking that, which was actually pretty impressive.
They're looking like a pretty decent squad.
They just need to build up a little more consistency.
And I'll talk about that more after we talk when I get to their match for Sunday.
And then the and then we had Toronto versus Toronto versus the Gorillaz to round that out.
And this has been a lot of speculation because the Gorillaz are the ones that I was telling you about that just like pretty much said they wanted out of the fucking league,
went fucking to ODark 30 until super, super last minute and then has like a big fucking roster drama and then finally locked everything in, hired two coaches and analyst and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, that's the Gorillaz. And they played Ultra and they actually didn't look bad.
They picked up a map off Ultra and Ultra is a super solid team.
But the maps that they lost like they weren't that bad.
So it was it was actually pretty impressive. These low caliber teams that people were thinking were going to be low caliber teams are actually doing something pretty impressive.
Or at least are actually putting up like fights and kind of looking like they actually could be glimpses of something.
And then for Sunday, our first match was Seattle search versus Boston breach.
And we took that in a solid another 3-1 fashion. Let's go boys. That's why I'm saying they are looking exquisite.
Seattle's never been a search team, like even since like the CDL started, like they've never been a search team.
Illy is a search and destroy fucking mastermind.
That kid has been grinding hard point search and destroy tournaments in the offseason since he took a break for last year because of his thumb injury and shit like that and all the drama that was going on, blah, blah, blah.
Thumb injury?
Yeah, yeah, he had a sister growing on his thumb from the way that he held his controller and how he moved his thumb.
So he had to adjust. He had to get it surgically removed and then so it wouldn't come back.
He had to get used to resting his thumb on his or his left thumb on his stick in a different way.
So essentially he would overextend and play really deep on his thumb. So like right here instead of right here, like where most people do.
So he would do it with the actual like backside of his pad. So playing the way that he does, just to give you guys an example, he's essentially holding his controller like that.
So super, super deep, like in the crease of it. So that's just putting a bunch of stress and constant wear and tear and shit on that fucking tendon where most of us are only playing like this.
You know what I'm saying?
So that caused a bunch of damage and ended up building a cyst on it. So he had to adjust his grip and now he's just back to fucking frying.
Arsades is looking good, which like I was talking about, he's another one that has ring that was on LA Gorillaz last year with all the drama and blah, blah, blah.
So they're looking super phenomenal. So I'm really excited to see how Seattle plays.
Being a big local boy, I'm really excited to see if we can actually win a tournament and fucking make champs again.
You know, do how we've been doing because we've been at least placing the last two years that I've watched. They've placed at least fourth at champs.
So they were top four, top five teams. So like still super, still a super solid team, just not as consistent as they could be.
Then we had Vegas and Carolina, which I honestly thought Vegas was actually going to take it.
They kind of choked a couple of choked a couple of rounds in a couple of matches, which ended up letting Carolina take away within three to use.
It was really good. It was a really good match. Then we had Gorillaz and Subliners and that too went to a map five with last year's champs and Gorillaz,
which is all the drama and all the BS with them. Like it.
Gorillaz actually should have won that and there went Dolphin. Where did he go?
Probably DC or something. I don't know. He made his it's he was tired to listen to Call of Duty and throw a tantrum.
Oh, there he is. When the fuck was that? Oh, what happened to you? I didn't do nothing.
Motherfucker, I was talking. This fucking stupid fucking graphics driver installing apparently needed to fucking restart Discord.
Apparently, I guess. And then the last match that we had for Sunday was LAPs versus Phase and Phase just fucking laid the dick on the foe head.
Like 3-0. Yeah, like just gave them the madness.
Gave it up. Pretty much. And then Friday of next week that we this this coming up Friday, we have Heretics versus Legion.
We have Thieves versus Breach, Optic versus Surge, which I'm excited for that one because Pred from the superstar SMG that we had last year is playing Optic Texas and Ilyin Hook.
Both played for Optic. Hook played for Optic last year and Ilyin started at the beginning of the season.
They got dropped. So that's going to be an interesting one and see how it goes, especially with Ilyin.
Surge has been playing better than Optic has, or at least in my personal opinion, they have a better record.
And then we have for Saturday, we have Heretics versus Minnesota, Legion versus Subliners and then Phase versus Surge, which that's going to be another really good one.
And then we have Toronto and Carolina and then Carolina and Optic and then Thieves and Gorillas and then Breach in Toronto to end out the weekend.
And then it is Christmas break for the CDO. Until after the first of the year.
It's always Christmas break. Yep. Pretty much. Yep, pretty much.
Another Christmas recommendation, Synthetic Theory of the Bells. Like an awesome song. Killing Floor James. Amazing.
Synthetic does a prior soundtrack of killing floor exquisite.
I am like loving that fucking game right now.
I fucking told you, dude.
I think it's I think it's a whole 27 seconds the first time and you're like, no, sir, I can't do it. It's too scary. It's too much.
Then realized how much there is actually like in that game.
I'm all about it. I'm all ready for it.
I think. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, enough to go buy it for a bunch of you guys to come play with us.
Oh, yeah. So and pay.
So we're still on this call of duty train.
Uh-huh. Ergy.
But I am appeasing you right now. OK.
And I'm downloading Warzone.
I'm a boy. I'm pretty sure I've had it installed.
Yeah, I definitely uninstalled it when Fergie and I were trying to play.
It crashed on me like what, four times an hour.
And I was like, yeah, no, I'm good.
The four times in an hour.
Yeah, dude, it crashed on me so fucking often.
I was like, you know, I'm not even I'm just now.
Not this game.
It was annoying. OK, I don't blame you.
I do not blame you.
But so are you good for.
Yes, I'm actually going through like breaking points, redone their whole website.
I have I forgot to do my my fantasy stuff.
Oh, well, you guys have fantasy stuff, too.
Oh, bro, they even have they even have fucking betting on it, dog.
For Call of Duty. Yeah, for on price picks.
Did you can you can bet on CSGO?
You can bet on CSGO, you bet on Call of Duty.
Like, oh, yeah, you do over unders on how like how many.
I just think we I don't think we can do it in Washington.
That's too much, bro. I'd be so down.
That's too much.
That's just too much.
I think I think it's too much to do fantasy sports and I know itself,
but that's just I agree to that, too.
But you know, one of my best buddies, David does it and he fucking loves it.
Oh, Davey does it.
Oh, Davey, this is good, Davey.
But are you going to go, James, or what?
Are we good? Are you done?
He said it was good.
I'm just making sure it's good for I fucking interrupt again.
It's good.
It's it's good.
Well,
hurry up, let's go.
My kids over here.
All right. Well, well, everybody that is.
Oh, no. Oh, OK.
I thought we were done. That's my bad.
That's my bad. I apologize.
I apologize.
So that was not on purpose at all.
Oh, Fergie.
Oh, I wish they'd be able to hear that.
Yeah, I wish so, too, considering I'm the one that played it, too.
But no, I mean, you're good.
You can just send it. I was just going to talk about Pokemon regionals.
Oh, go ahead. Oh, we just had one in.
Fuck, what was it? Germany?
I think last weekend and we got San Antonio, Texas, coming up this weekend.
So it's going to be interesting and then DLC drops Thursday
and changes everything for me in January.
It's going to be fun.
You were just talking about your tournament, so I was like, cool, I got one, too.
Yeah, he's going to shit on stage of yours.
Yeah.
Only if I win.
No, you said top four.
Yeah, I get to stop for. OK.
That's right. You did say that.
That's right. Top four.
Top four is taking shit on stage.
If you get if you get first, he's going to hawk it at the crowd.
Oh, dude. And you're just like, absolute like.
You better be prepared.
Change your computers on methamphetamines.
Why do you not see your video right now?
Mm hmm.
Fergie, do you see this?
Looks fine to me.
Oh, my God. My computer looks like it.
My view of James look like he's cracked out.
Oh, now, now he's kind of now he's kind of better.
Oh, there's back. OK, what are you smoking, bro?
It was just you.
No, he's not going to find the whole time.
You're smoking you, homie.
That's what he's smoking.
Mine's been fine.
Well, since we were talking about regionals.
My sports ball pool ball regionals is coming up and we made it first in eight ball.
We might get the nine ball wild card draw.
So, so, yeah, yeah.
That's one step closer to getting to Vegas for the world fucking playoffs.
Hey, I'm trying to get to Hawaii for world champs, too, bro.
We're going to do this together.
Team my team made it.
Oh, that's too bad.
My team is in Vegas playing the world qualifiers while I'm in New Zealand,
getting gear from the CDC to go to Antarctica.
It is literally at the same exact time.
It fucking sucked, dude.
I was like, man, I've been playing pool for like three years.
And I'm finally going to get it.
Are you going to miss it this year?
Antarctica? No, Vegas.
No, no, I shouldn't be.
I'm not going to Antarctica this year,
so I won't be leaving the States until June.
I'd come back in like mid August and then probably go back.
I mean, I'm going to Greenland and then probably go back to Greenland
from October through February.
Or through to February.
What is world?
What is world champs for you guys?
That was because ours is going to be in August.
Yeah, it was like first week in August, second week in August.
Somewhere in the sounds about right.
Go. So we better be both be winning, bro.
Fucking hope so.
Do you want to be world champs together?
I fucking last week, we won't be the tenacious geeks.
We'll be the world fucking champs.
Last fucking Wednesday, bro, I was playing eight ball, man, and I fucking
I should have won, but I scratched on the eight ball twice
and it made me lose.
Oh, made me lose my match.
Bro. Yeah.
But then I played the same person in nine ball
and I absolutely fucking annihilated.
I like went up to her.
I was like, hey, this is my shot of redemption.
She's like, yeah, you're right.
And I'm like, OK, game on.
Just annihilate them.
They have just fucking annihilated.
I'm more of a nine ball player.
I'm ranked higher in nine ball than I am an eight ball. But.
You guys have what rank are you?
So there's different ranking systems for nine ball and eight ball.
Eight ball, you can be level two through level.
Seven, I believe.
And then for nine ball, you can be one through nine.
And and eight balls.
I mean, I guess, yeah, I thought for some reason when you said ranking,
I was thinking like a world or national.
No, it's just skill level.
But yeah, no, it's just your personal skill level
and based off your lifetime stats, at least in the league that I'm in.
There's many, many other leagues and other ones like I play in APA.
There's BCA, and that's based off a point system.
So like you can be, you know, ranked 305 out of a thousand,
you know, or you can be higher and, you know, that very dependent.
But at least in the league that I'm playing, though,
that's how your skill levels work.
And like. Your skill levels and eight ball
correlate to how many games you have to win in that match to win that match.
Hmm.
And then like a nine ball, your skill level
correlates to how many balls you have to make in order to win.
All so much emphasis you have every every ball.
I don't know why one point, the nine ball is worth two points.
OK, and that's that's how many points you have to make to win that match.
So there's a lot more to it than I thought for nine ball.
I mean, it's a lot of math.
Yeah, both scoring and playing the game.
Math makes math makes my brain hurt.
That's why he plays Call of Duty.
I just need to I just need to know what fucking bullet drop is.
OK, and how many dashes to put on.
Oh, it doesn't have.
You know, fuck it doesn't.
I mean, man, not not fucking Battlefield.
Well, yeah, I don't.
Or a real life.
This one, it's essentially every fucking hundred meters is a dash.
OK.
So unless I mean, even oh, yeah, it was even like it's been like that.
It's been like that since war zone one.
Oh, the snipers had the marksman rifles are hitscan, but the snipers are
the snipers you have to lead.
Like you can build up to the point where you only had to lead them a little bit.
And it wasn't like super realistic.
But like these games and shit like that, like you have to put
you have to put some actual lead on it.
And I'm going to I just love Battlefield, man.
Battlefield two.
That was fucking the shit, bro.
You're sitting across the map for somebody and you see some other sniper
up on a mountain somewhere and you're just like, all right, they're they're here.
I need to aim way up here and then over this way because of windage.
What's my distance and what's my wind deck?
I need to put you over here.
I want to I want to pull a Jamie for a sec.
Click that stream real quick for why this is this is.
This is a legit website.
We're talking about math and for being bad at math.
We have full fucking calculators for Pokemon legit.
Like this shit is ridiculous.
Oh, Ferg's mad.
Like all the way down to like throwing his shit
like one's like a fucking.
Throwing a tantrum like look, doubles level 50 fucking
individual sets that each Pokemon would have like to where certain attacks
would do certain damage to guarantee a knockout.
Like it's fucking ridiculous sometimes.
Yeah, like all of that.
I just I had to show you because this is a legit like.
Fucking calculator website.
I mean, I'll just know.
I'll start talking about attachments and shit.
That's my math.
Like, look, fucking grassy terrain, fucking special abilities,
terror types, types, fucking everything down to the fucking gender, bro.
Because it makes a difference.
Everything makes a difference.
Yeah, I saw this funny thing on on
on Instagram, and it was a squirtle.
Like, I don't know if it was merged as a needle queen,
but the name generated popped up with a squirt queen.
That was good.
And I approve.
Oh, yeah.
So we were just talking about math like this.
This shit is ridiculous.
Math is a wonderful thing.
It pulls up this and it's like guaranteed.
It is a really cool thing.
And shit like that.
Math and do some math math math math math.
That's a quick way to get fucking muted.
So angry.
And quick way for minus four is.
Look, look at this. See, look, mute.
You want to hit KO.
Shit like that.
All right. Are you done saying?
Nifty. I just wanted to show you.
It's it's ridiculous.
Oh, for froze.
Did I freeze? No.
No, I was just I was just holding perfectly still.
No, but I like your kind of.
Master the art of saying so still.
I like your.
Emo haircut you got going on there.
Oh, dude.
Should I match?
Hold on.
Dude, I was taking a drink, you fucking fucker.
Oh, God, they're fixing their hair.
Yeah, but I mean, look at like Ferg's hairstyle, though.
I got you, dude.
You don't like understand the struggle, bro.
I like you.
I was getting down the middle.
Yeah, I can. I hate it.
I hated that. I thought that was the dumbest fucking hairstyle
the whole like, yeah.
Hate that shit.
But it was dumb.
I can't.
I had to shut up.
And my hair is.
Shaggy.
You got longer hair than me.
All right, sign us out.
All right.
Well, all right, everybody.
Well, this has been fucking a drag out, knock down, drag out, boring,
one hell of a no topic episode of Tenacious Geeks.
Shit really going on over the fucking finals.
