  Do you do video content with the new dragons that they introduced?
• 3:56
  How that works?
• 3:59
  Yeah, I do.
• 4:00
  I'm actually really good at flying.
• 4:02
  in a humble way maybe um so yeah i try to like make flying videos but mostly like most of my
• 4:13
  content is and was um mostly like the upcoming content for next week and stuff like that okay
• 4:20
  so yeah i try kind of do like graphics for writers uh dragons and stuff like that
• 4:28
  oh that's very cool so what's what's your favorite all-time dragon from war dragons
• 4:34
  i mean there's a lot of fun i think it will be cool say is that the way it's pronounced
• 4:46
  it's like like a blob worm i don't know how they were in english
• 4:52
  oh it's a worm dragon yeah okay yeah it was a legendary dragon i remember from one
• 4:59
  oh very it was really cool i i liked it a lot awesome so what do you what do you fly mostly now
• 5:06
  oh just purely hunters years and years it's just what is the most fun thing to life
• 5:15
  no no sorcerers you don't you don't like to take out a sorcerer every once in a while and
• 5:21
  I try to
• 5:24
  not touch anything like that
• 5:26
  I just stay away from them
• 5:31
  I just
• 5:32
  could never swipe my
• 5:35
  finger
• 5:36
  in all the screens
• 5:38
  no love for the sorks
• 5:40
  or
• 5:42
  warriors or anything
• 5:44
  it's just
• 5:46
  yeah
• 5:48
  I just
• 5:49
  i just never could find a way to do it it's just i don't know if i don't have the ability or the
• 5:57
  patience to fly and stuff like that i just get anxious of not tapping anything just like getting
• 6:05
  my fingers and my screen up to oblivion and send it away i don't know yeah you play on a phone right
• 6:13
  i play in a phone okay i play in can we say brands sure i play in a iphone 15 promise
• 6:26
  okay so it's not that small yeah yeah yeah i used to do it on an ipad when i played so it was a
• 6:33
  little bit different experience than doing a phone for sure i'm sure it's a lot more precise
• 6:38
  that you have to be on the phone for especially for the oh the hunters yeah definitely i think
• 6:45
  i wouldn't call it a bandage but flying on ipad seems easier for me maybe it's just because you
• 6:54
  have more space and you see stuff bigger and i mean i have big hands i think so i just my big
• 7:02
  fat fingers just don't let me see anything from the screen so i just have to like memorize it or
• 7:07
  just like know it from those seconds before i start but it is quite an adventure yeah yeah i
• 7:17
  flew i used a phone exclusively in the same thing right it definitely makes it more more difficult
• 7:23
  and especially if you're trying to do multi-tap right if you're trying to get you know two or
• 7:28
  maybe three fingers to get multiple shots going at a tower very difficult on that especially with
• 7:34
  my big club fingers yeah i feel it i feel it it's just just sometimes not possible it's like you try
• 7:42
  to take all the towers out but you just don't your fingers don't let you see yeah yeah i die a lot like
• 7:49
  that but it's like a rush i don't know but flying hunters just give you a rush like just makes you
• 7:58
  I don't know, half more fun.
• 8:00
  I agree.
• 8:02
  I never really liked any of the other classes too much.
• 8:07
  Warriors just seemed fairly boring to me
• 8:11
  just to hold your finger in a spot.
• 8:14
  And then Sorcerers, I just...
• 8:15
  Why are you hitting that tower?
• 8:18
  What are you doing?
• 8:22
  That's all your personal opinion.
• 8:26
  Personal opinion.
• 8:27
  but it's right
• 8:28
  my right personal opinion
• 8:33
  so what team are you on
• 8:38
  Kirk
• 8:39
  I'm
• 8:41
  I'm on war enforces right now
• 8:44
  with the little
• 8:47
  I don't know how much
• 8:49
  the VIP
• 8:51
  had said
• 8:52
  I just don't want to say much about it
• 8:55
  it's all good
• 8:57
  Yeah, I'm currently on Warring Forces, and it seems like something's going to happen, and it sounds like it's going to be super fun.
• 9:07
  And I don't know.
• 9:09
  I'm excited about it still.
• 9:11
  It's been a couple of years.
• 9:13
  Nice.
• 9:15
  It's been a couple of years since I started playing, and I don't know.
• 9:20
  It just feels nice to be excited for stuff again.
• 9:23
  Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 9:25
  So you quit for a while, right?
• 9:27
  I did. Well, my first account, actually, I started playing, if we want to go a little bit there, I started playing because of my sister.
• 9:41
  she was playing like og 2000 like stars of 2016 2015 like she was i don't know it was
• 9:54
  she was level 50 back then that was i guess that was big uh when she was playing and she
• 10:03
  just introduced me to the game and since then the addiction and love for the game started kind of
• 10:10
  so i started playing i usually said it's april 2016 because i remember how i got my
• 10:23
  it was i don't remember it was already for android because it was blocked for a while
• 10:30
  i remember that i don't remember yeah it was i don't remember if it was still on android or not
• 10:36
  but I got it for my birthday that is on April 2.
• 10:42
  I got an iPod and I just saw it.
• 10:47
  I saw her playing and I was like,
• 10:49
  I just wanted to try it out and it was fun.
• 10:52
  It was really fun.
• 10:54
  Well, very cool.
• 10:55
  So how long did you quit for?
• 11:00
  I quit a couple of times.
• 11:02
  some of them were
• 11:05
  it just
• 11:06
  I don't know, life
• 11:08
  like
• 11:10
  first, that's actually another fun story
• 11:13
  I guess, that I put I got
• 11:14
  since I was saying that
• 11:16
  but I got for my birthday
• 11:18
  I got robbed
• 11:20
  so
• 11:21
  I couldn't
• 11:24
  retrieve that account
• 11:26
  and I just
• 11:28
  I don't know, I just stopped
• 11:30
  I was like sad about it because I was in my head I was like growing a lot and advancing a lot in the game.
• 11:40
  So I just I don't know I got this feeling that I wouldn't catch up and the feeling wasn't going to be the same.
• 11:47
  So I just stopped and for about two years or three years maybe.
• 11:52
  So it was a big time.
• 11:55
  Yeah that is it.
• 11:57
  So you had to start all over again from the beginning?
• 12:00
  I did.
• 12:02
  Oh, wow.
• 12:04
  My sister wasn't playing anymore.
• 12:07
  So I was bored one day and just saw it and said, well, might as well just get a new hobby.
• 12:16
  Didn't know what that was going to get me.
• 12:20
  Very cool.
• 12:22
  So did you miss it when you quit or what?
• 12:26
  And what did you do to fill your time?
• 12:28
  right because we all know this game it'll suck up all the time you have right
• 12:33
  it is really time taking yeah i mean i enjoy it it's fun the com the competitive thing
• 12:43
  in this game it just makes it fun it makes you stay there but it was again live um i was working
• 12:53
  I'm still working and studying
• 12:55
  I actually have two jobs right now and I still in school i about to finish this year so um it was just like i didn have much time i just in my head just like i don know just wasn
• 13:15
  the right timing for it yeah so just moved on and i guess just this
• 13:24
  signs just the game showed up one day and i should start again live stuff that's a lot on your plate
• 13:34
  to have two jobs and uh go to school and and carry the game on that's that's a lot and be creative
• 13:40
  section right and make content for pocket gyms that's that's a lot on your plate i'm sure
• 13:45
  yeah i mean it's been like the pressure is there i just i don't know why i enjoy it
• 13:54
  I just seem to enjoy
• 13:57
  all of the aspects of it.
• 14:01
  I don't know.
• 14:02
  I just...
• 14:03
  I enjoy what I do with the content.
• 14:08
  I just like it too much.
• 14:11
  Just doing stuff with dragons.
• 14:14
  That's how I start.
• 14:16
  What's your favorite part about being in the creators' faction?
• 14:19
  Like seeing the previews of what's coming?
• 14:22
  Or dealing with...
• 14:24
  you know getting behind the curtains a little bit to see how the company works or
• 14:28
  i mean it is fun i was i was doing the the sneak peeks like a season a week or two ago
• 14:38
  i think it was fun just to see people trying to guess stuff and just getting excited about
• 14:43
  what's coming out and just me knowing already all the details about it i was like i don't know if
• 14:49
  If only I could share.
• 14:51
  Right.
• 14:52
  I just can't keep secrets.
• 14:53
  So it is a hard time for that.
• 14:55
  I'm sure.
• 14:57
  Yeah, that would be very tough, especially, you know, having all the knowledge about what is coming and, you know, kind of having to hold that back even from people that you consider close friends, you know?
• 15:12
  Yeah, I mean, man, they ask you and they make it harder.
• 15:18
  Don't ask me.
• 15:19
  You know, I can.
• 15:19
  but they still do it yeah i probably would too i'd be like come on man just tell me
• 15:27
  give me a hint you know there's a tiny bit of information for me please right
• 15:34
  well awesome so whereabouts do you live
• 15:38
  if you were yeah if you um i live in the north part of mexico okay in the like closer to the
• 15:49
  states in a city called monterrey i think there's another city in the united states called monterrey
• 15:57
  too i think yeah that's actually one of my favorite places in mexico i was considering
• 16:04
  moving there for for a while of the best best beef i've ever had in my life
• 16:10
  yeah i i often we say that if it's mexican it's better
• 16:16
  it's i don't know the foot here and a lot of like the people kind of want me off
• 16:26
  it's it's i've never been in the united states but i think it's a little bit different
• 16:30
  oh yeah yeah definitely is some good rodeos out there huh yeah i mean i i i don't know if it's
• 16:40
  noticeable the cowboy hats i have oh yeah the cow head there uh i do i used to go to a lot of rodeos
• 16:52
  um like the two kinds of it the ones are easily the horses and the other one with bulls and
• 17:00
  And it's funny because I have a fun story about bulls.
• 17:07
  I was barely, barely, barely joining my first time in War Enforcers.
• 17:15
  It's just when all stuff started to fall apart for me.
• 17:20
  It's funny.
• 17:21
  We used to say that I'm so jinxed about it because I just, like, the first week after I joined War Enforcers,
• 17:27
  I was hanging up at work.
• 17:30
  and then just this welding machine just kind of exploded a gun and fire next to me
• 17:35
  and the very next week after that it's just like right five minutes close to my house uh
• 17:44
  car just started burning too just so i just joined water forces and two weeks later just everything burning next to me
• 17:54
  Wow. So the bull, I was, I have an uncle that he has a ranch and I used to go Fridays there.
• 18:07
  I used to take care of the bulls since I was, I don't know, like 12, 10 years old. So I was just
• 18:16
  pretty used to being around them and just like having fun with them, knowing how to treat them.
• 18:22
  and it was this day that I was just like feeding them I was just like with the food the thing I
• 18:32
  don't know the word for in English that we feed them with and they were like kind of playing like
• 18:39
  giving the head things that I don't know the word for that in English either um and it was just like
• 18:47
  I was just focusing on the food and like feeling the water good enough for them.
• 18:54
  And this one bull came behind me and just charged me like he was trying to play
• 18:59
  because I do that a lot.
• 19:00
  I just like try to wrestle them and just like getting to touch with them.
• 19:06
  I just like jump on them and stuff like that.
• 19:09
  They have fun, I think, because they just seem to like take it as just like having
• 19:15
  a fun time.
• 19:17
  I don't know.
• 19:17
  this one charged back from me and just grabbed with the horn I was they could have just stabbed
• 19:25
  me with it but it just went behind like below my arm and just pulled it away and I was just
• 19:33
  there on the floor with my arm popped out oh and I just got it up again super fast like
• 19:40
  and the bull just went for that it's just like he just did that face like we were face to face
• 19:48
  and just kind of like kneeled a little bit like he wanted to keep playing but he wanted me to do
• 19:55
  my part now i was just so messed up by that just i just didn't feel that much pain
• 20:05
  but it felt weird like my whole body was i don't know it was like what's wrong with your arm what
• 20:13
  do you do to it yeah yeah my thought it just i didn't even go to the doctor that's my uncle
• 20:24
  like run towards me super fast and then my cousin and they just pull it back in
• 20:31
  and the pain was there like the i was getting annoyed and bothered by the little pain
• 20:40
  and it was there for like two or three weeks my bed and i don't know what happened i don't know
• 20:49
  if it was some way i slept that one day was so painful so painful that i had like two or three
• 21:01
  days that i was just sleeping all day because i couldn't stand the pain i don't know why it
• 21:08
  happened i bet that made a lot a lot harder to fly dragons with a messed up arm yeah it is
• 21:15
  i was just putting the phone in the in the table and just using my right hand
• 21:22
  because i was like like this the whole time i couldn't work i couldn't do anything i used to
• 21:30
  do a lot of gym.
• 21:33
  I used to work out a lot.
• 21:35
  After that, I just went down.
• 21:39
  Are you fully recovered now?
• 21:41
  I mean, it just
• 21:42
  cracks all the time, but yeah.
• 21:44
  Yeah. I had a shoulder
• 21:47
  dislocation too. It took quite a while
• 21:49
  to heal that.
• 21:51
  It still has
• 21:53
  a little arthritis in it, but
• 21:55
  it does take a long
• 21:57
  time to heal from shoulder injury.
• 21:58
  and when it's cold it just hurts like when the water is still cold it just hurts and hurts and
• 22:04
  hurts oh yeah yeah i've wrecked my shoulder too actually broke well my collarbone broke my
• 22:13
  collarbone and uh yeah that was the dragons were that wasn't happening because i you know i kind
• 22:22
  of flew with with my left hand would do the spells you know what i mean was my left hand would do the
• 22:28
  spells and then my right hand would be my tappy tap and uh i just my hand wouldn't cooperate you
• 22:35
  know no matter what position i put it in made it really difficult you didn't get yours broken by a
• 22:43
  bowl though that's a lot cooler story it is a lot cooler story story mine's a terrible story
• 22:49
  comparatively yeah yeah no i have nothing cool to say either i mean i wish i could say like yeah
• 22:55
  I got gored by a bull.
• 22:57
  That's a story to tell people.
• 22:59
  It is.
• 23:00
  I just tell it at all.
• 23:03
  So what do you, you said you were going to school.
• 23:07
  What are you going to school for?
• 23:09
  I'm currently doing an accounting degree.
• 23:14
  That's what it's called in English.
• 23:17
  Yeah.
• 23:18
  So about nine months to finish it.
• 23:23
  On December, I'd finish it.
• 23:25
  nice i think very cool i think in september um so yeah it just takes a lot of my free time to
• 23:34
  do like the stuff i would want to do yeah it's got to put a crimp on your your atlas activities huh
• 23:41
  oh yeah i
• 23:45
  my my most active time was when the bull caught me so i was just all day there
• 23:55
  oh yeah yeah whenever you get get time you're not doing anything else that that's when i was
• 24:00
  doing it too same thing just yeah it's an easier thing to do with one arm in your
• 24:09
  up attached to your body the whole time oh yeah oh yeah that's that's when you have to
• 24:16
  learn to fly warriors like lx that's right i got injured and that's how i started flying
• 24:25
  Yeah.
• 24:27
  Didn't you do a challenge Havoc where you like tapped with your nose or
• 24:30
  something?
• 24:31
  Oh yeah.
• 24:31
  The chicken challenge.
• 24:32
  That was chicken challenge.
• 24:36
  Yes.
• 24:37
  How did that work out for you?
• 24:38
  Um,
• 24:39
  I died.
• 24:40
  I'm kind of cussed.
• 24:41
  Okay.
• 24:42
  But maybe I'll throw that clip in here.
• 24:44
  It was pretty funny.
• 24:46
  Yeah.
• 24:47
  I guess there's ways that you can,
• 24:48
  uh,
• 24:49
  I mean,
• 24:49
  I'm sure not every word dragons player has a both arms or use of both arms.
• 24:55
  I'm sure there's ways to adapt.
• 24:58
  Using your feet will sound easier, maybe,
• 25:03
  than having your face all over the phone.
• 25:05
  Yeah, no, it doesn't sound easy to me.
• 25:07
  No, that's really difficult to tap with your nose
• 25:10
  because, you know, you get that close,
• 25:12
  you can't really see what you're hitting with your nose.
• 25:16
  That's why you got to learn to fly sorcery.
• 25:18
  You just, you know, make the swirls on there.
• 25:21
  Right?
• 25:22
  Swirkle like a boss.
• 25:23
  you know like some of them things my finger would actually get like sore from from doing that crap
• 25:29
  for so long it's oh yeah we're just kind of ridiculous like you wouldn't think that a an
• 25:35
  ipad screen would have that much friction on it but i guess in anything if you do it long enough is
• 25:39
  gonna come back and bite you yeah i started using the screen protectors because i just stopped too
• 25:47
  much that it was in the screen so I just started using it for the for that that's the only reason
• 25:55
  yeah I actually had spots on my old phone where where I was tapping and you can see like the you know like you come up and and you got you know kind of a finger placement on the two bottom and the middle tower and just
• 26:09
  you know what i mean and there were three dots on my phone exactly where that was i was like oh
• 26:16
  well you knew where to hit then all right every time like you get it pretty squared away yeah i
• 26:21
  was okay you know i managed to hold my own so i i was never you know i i was never like a top flyer
• 26:32
  i don't think um but you know i i held my own i did all right trying to explain why you have
• 26:41
  three thoughts in your screen to people is attentive right yeah yeah or the back the case
• 26:48
  my case um from the way i hold my phone just had a big stripe on it from from where i hold it on the
• 26:56
  back same thing it's just like crazy so much time on that that device you know it was uh you you
• 27:04
  probably missed the early days because when we first started i had to use a an ice pack on the
• 27:09
  back of my i had like an iphone 6 when i first started oh that's how long ago it was and and
• 27:14
  that thing would get so hot like it i guess it was using a lot of the uh memory or whatever i had
• 27:21
  to like literally put an ice pack underneath the phone or it would overheat and shut off
• 27:26
  it was kind of crazy i've heard about that a few people told me that was before my time but not
• 27:31
  much yeah i think that was before android because you got in on android right havoc yeah yeah it was
• 27:37
  before that and then they tried integrating that and they had a lot of problems but they finally
• 27:42
  figured out i guess yeah yeah so what i remember what level are you trying to play in game now arc
• 27:51
  um oh um seven forty something seven forty five wow big big big base it's further than i ever made
• 28:04
  for sure not a big base but it is a base hey you know that's that's a lot of leveling i quit uh
• 28:15
  i was 693 i actually looked at it the other day i didn't log on i looked at a screenshot but i
• 28:22
  assume it's probably the most recent that was a huge level back then too it was back in 2023
• 28:32
  yeah that was that was oh end of the end of the levels at that point i think
• 28:37
  well not end of the levels but i couldn't get any more levels
• 28:42
  because my towers were all built up and you know can't get another level until you build more so
• 28:48
  i just just have an infinite amount of xp depth right yeah yeah no no never never never went down
• 29:01
  that road don't want never wanted to you know you see some of those people and you see well we were
• 29:08
  talking about this the other day i don't remember with who but you see like level 80 players and
• 29:13
  they've got a max you know whatever and you're just like there's no there's no way you know what
• 29:18
  i mean kind of the whole cheating in the game which it doesn't make any sense to me why would
• 29:25
  you cheat you know it's a game about skill if you're cheating it's not about your skill it's
• 29:30
  about someone else's programming not your skill so it doesn't make you good doesn't make you better
• 29:36
  it just makes you pretty useless in my opinion but hey that's my my opinion my two cents
• 29:43
  maybe the i don't know the ego maybe the feeling of being over someone like over people in the game
• 29:54
  yeah but even that i i think about it right you you might get that feeling but at some point the
• 30:02
  realization has to set in that you really aren't even good enough to to play with them without
• 30:07
  an unfair advantage so you're not getting one over on them you're just being a dummy in my opinion
• 30:15
  but you know whatever i know there's there's one point like in an atlas attack because it was always
• 30:23
  kind of like a time thing like whether you hit them before they hit you and then you look back
• 30:27
  at the replay and it was like some red tier dragon that hit you with one shot and it took out your
• 30:32
  whole base with just one hit and you're like uh yeah i think they're cheating yeah oh yeah there
• 30:37
  was plenty of that going on for sure have you been have you been to the us uh before arc
• 30:43
  um not really i was i was planning to a couple months ago i was gonna go into
• 30:55
  kind of like a class to get a welding certificate
• 31:00
  so that was my trip that got cancelled because of the whole bull thing it just did a lot
• 31:07
  all right well you're a welder no i mean um yeah i do that here
• 31:17
  when you start on construction because that's what i used to do
• 31:22
  um now it's just kind of moving to the family family restaurant thing
• 31:28
  i used to do restaurants and i was mostly doing the the outside like the
• 31:37
  I don't know how to say it like I was just kind of like a specializing kind of thing in just outside
• 31:47
  the restaurants okay so it just had a lot of welding for the structure and stuff like that
• 31:55
  and that's where they needed me mostly and that company closed this December and then I just
• 32:03
  started with a restaurant
• 32:05
  mostly full time.
• 32:08
  Very cool.
• 32:10
  So what's your favorite food
• 32:12
  to eat?
• 32:15
  I mean,
• 32:16
  of course, the Mexican.
• 32:17
  So to make them more interesting, we just
• 32:20
  take that out of the
• 32:21
  consideration.
• 32:25
  Well, that's my favorite food to eat.
• 32:27
  But I mean, if you
• 32:29
  pressed me real hard, I'd probably say
• 32:31
  carnitas tacos.
• 32:33
  I mean, of course, I think the Mexican food is one of the best, if not the best, but I
• 32:43
  kind of have this weakness with sushi and kind of like Japanese food.
• 32:51
  I don't know why I like it so much.
• 32:54
  There's some really good sushi and Japanese restaurants in Mexico.
• 32:59
  I've been to quite a few of them.
• 33:01
  They're really, really good.
• 33:02
  top-notch you know the cooking here is really good like it doesn't really matter where the food
• 33:11
  is from it's just i don't know why though we have that kind of like ability of just having a good
• 33:20
  taste for food oh yeah for sure i mean if i could only eat one food ever again it would be mexican
• 33:27
  Sorry, that's just 100% true.
• 33:31
  I absolutely love Mexican food.
• 33:35
  Yeah, you do.
• 33:35
  It's good.
• 33:37
  It's so good.
• 33:39
  Every time we're like, where do you want to go?
• 33:42
  Let's get Mexican every time.
• 33:44
  Yeah, yeah.
• 33:45
  Yeah.
• 33:45
  We went to California to my wife and our oldest,
• 33:51
  and we went to California for a very quick trip for a birthday
• 33:56
  for a friend of mine.
• 33:57
  And, you know, it was just, you know, oh, we got to go to this place.
• 34:02
  We got to go to this place.
• 34:03
  You know, El Toro Bravo, El Matador.
• 34:05
  We've got to go to these places, you know, because you have no idea how good this food is.
• 34:12
  Just good, best food in the world, in my opinion.
• 34:16
  But that's me.
• 34:18
  It's like a huge thing.
• 34:21
  Like the Mexican food just has too many flavors.
• 34:25
  we have the seafood and the spicy food.
• 34:30
  I don't know, it's just too much.
• 34:33
  There's way too much to try when you're here.
• 34:36
  My girlfriend, she's American,
• 34:39
  and she just keeps saying that the Mexican food is way, way better.
• 34:47
  That's her words.
• 34:49
  Oh, it is. It's fresh.
• 34:50
  It's not, you know, we have this habit of things being, you know, partially made and then frozen and then come back out and just heat it up, I guess.
• 35:03
  And, you know, you don't really find that anywhere in Mexico.
• 35:07
  I mean, some, you know, some places, but, you know, not like you do here where it's pretty much everywhere you go, you're going to have some of that.
• 35:14
  and uh you know i i love it and it's amazing because like i say carnitas tacos are my favorite
• 35:22
  right um but i mean i love all all of it but like you we went to mexico city well i've been there a
• 35:29
  few times but mexico city we were you know uh walking around there's a lot of street vendors
• 35:34
  right not street vendors there's there's like a it's kind of like a roll-up garage right and
• 35:41
  there's a restaurant in there but the tables are outside right and uh you go and you have
• 35:47
  carnitas tacos here and then you go to another place you know just right down the street and
• 35:51
  have them and they're different right i mean it's the same right it's still pork and it's still cooked
• 35:57
  the same general way but the family will use a little bit different spice here or a little bit
• 36:04
  different of this and the flavor profile changes and it's so amazing and then one of my favorite
• 36:11
  things it's it's uh it's uh uh what is it uh not not aztec what's what's mayan is uh shnipec
• 36:22
  i think it's called you know about that
• 36:25
  is say it again please shnipec i think it's called it's a habanero and purple onions
• 36:34
  oh okay okay pico de gallo yeah no no it makes sense the mayans make it it's it's
• 36:41
  very very very spicy it's it's hot it's um it's it's uh
• 36:48
  x i want to say it's x in i p e c or something like that shnipec i don't know in in mayan x is a
• 37:02
  sound?
• 37:06
  I don't know.
• 37:09
  Ask around and see.
• 37:11
  It's very spicy.
• 37:13
  It's not like pico de gallo is very mild
• 37:15
  almost always. Maybe
• 37:17
  some people put some jalapenos in there
• 37:19
  but for the most part
• 37:21
  very mild. But this stuff
• 37:23
  is hot. I mean it's definitely
• 37:25
  hot. Very good.
• 37:29
  Very tasty.
• 37:30
  Yeah.
• 37:30
  I have to find out.
• 37:35
  I have to find out because we, I mean, I sell like the family restaurant.
• 37:41
  It's like a birria kind of thing.
• 37:44
  So it's mostly tacos of birria.
• 37:48
  I don't know if you've heard of that.
• 37:52
  So I am going back to the fresh thing.
• 37:57
  I go every, we just sell weekends.
• 38:00
  for now because we're trying to open weekdays still um and just like the day before really
• 38:09
  really early in the morning i go and buy all the stuff we're gonna eat like huge amounts
• 38:15
  of of vegetables and fruits and stuff to make the sauces and stuff like that like just 6
• 38:24
  am and i'm already up doing stuff for that oh yeah yeah it's really fun do you buy your your
• 38:33
  supplies from local suppliers local farmers or do you get it from a warehouse or how does that work
• 38:40
  we i get it from markets here we have like there's like a huge state market market
• 38:48
  There's like where all the ingredients and vegetables and fruits and the steak and fish
• 38:55
  comes from.
• 38:57
  They just they all the trailers just go to that specific market and that that market just sends it everywhere yeah is that mostly a market for for restaurant owners or can anybody go in there it it just free to
• 39:12
  everyone yeah it's it's it's free to everyone but it's since it's cheaper because it's like
• 39:19
  they sell large amounts of stuff it's mostly used for like businesses yeah
• 39:29
  right yeah they have they have a lot of a lot of markets like that I mean they
• 39:35
  have supermarkets as to as well right in Costco and all that kind of stuff
• 39:40
  right but a lot of the open air Costco is nice but a lot of the open-air
• 39:46
  markets are, are, you know, where, where people daily shop, you know what I mean? And everything
• 39:52
  there is, well, maybe probably not everything, but the majority of stuff you'll find there is going
• 39:58
  to be local, right? People bring it in, in the morning, they set up their little, their little
• 40:03
  area, you know, kind of like what we call farmers markets, but it's just, it's just a market, right?
• 40:08
  For them. And, you know, they'll bring in, you know, meats and everything else. And, you know,
• 40:14
  you'll have uh you know res de rey and chicharrones and you know all all kinds of stuff that
• 40:21
  you can you can go and get as well as fruits and vegetables and you know it's it's pretty cool
• 40:27
  it's really neat that sounds good maybe i should move to mexico it's a great place and they're huge
• 40:34
  they're huge because they just take a large amount of street like there's really huge ones
• 40:45
  that you just take 20 30 minutes walking and walking and walking and walking and you just
• 40:51
  don't see the end of it yeah you you could spend a full day and not see anywhere near the whole
• 40:57
  market wow yeah yeah they're they're they're pretty amazing we were noting today like you know
• 41:04
  buying something like broccoli and it just did not look very good in the store and you know like
• 41:09
  a decent store publics i mean you know like not top of the line but it i'm like man that should
• 41:15
  be a little fresh you know because it probably has to travel quite a ways to get to us and
• 41:19
  it'd be it'd be nice to be able to buy that stuff um you know fresher and probably more economically
• 41:26
  I'm sure than what we're paying here. Yeah. We, we used to have a lot of that, right. But you know,
• 41:33
  back in, you know, a hundred years ago or something, that's kind of what we had as well.
• 41:38
  And we moved away from that and went to whatever weirdness we have now. But yeah, I mean, it's so
• 41:45
  nice. I love it. Right. Um, yeah, I remember the first time I took my wife to Mexico, you know,
• 41:52
  she's like oh you know we're gonna go right here and i'm like no we're not going to that place
• 41:57
  you know because there's you know like you know i haven't taken her to like monterey or mexico city
• 42:04
  or you know tequila or you know uh you know anywhere morelia or anything like that um but
• 42:14
  you know mainly you know beach resort type destinations but even there you know they'll
• 42:19
  have like a tourist area you walk a block maybe two blocks away from that you're you're in the
• 42:26
  real Mexico right and I say that because the touristy areas that's not that's not what Mexico
• 42:32
  is like you know and uh so I'll take her walking out there I remember the first time she was she
• 42:38
  was freaked out she's like are we gonna be okay I'm like relax you're fine they're good people
• 42:42
  just like you know everywhere else on the planet most people aren't you know they're not trying to
• 42:48
  you know cause problems you know um but yeah that that's my favorite thing you know going up and then
• 42:54
  if you have too much to drink uh the night before you know go grab a michelada and you know that'll
• 43:01
  set you straight same thing about tomato juice lime a little bit of chile and and some beer
• 43:08
  you put it together and cure is a hangover man yeah i we make those in the restaurant
• 43:14
  and we just make one liter beers like that just prepare people like it a lot they sell really well
• 43:23
  oh yeah it's good it's refreshing it's it's really good right now what kind of beer do
• 43:32
  real mexicans drink probably not the girl beer that i drink thing
• 43:36
  i mean the most famous one we already know it right it's corona right that's the right
• 43:44
  like that's the most famous one but here it's funny because we have five brands of beer because
• 43:51
  everyone got their own like personal preference they just have like corona and then we have
• 44:01
  modelo that that's like the second most big one most famous one then we have it's called i think
• 44:10
  it's called Estrella Dorada and stuff like that.
• 44:12
  Victoria, that's another big one.
• 44:16
  It's mostly just those two, Modelo and Corona.
• 44:21
  That's the biggest one.
• 44:23
  That's what the most people drink.
• 44:26
  I like Modelo better than Corona myself,
• 44:28
  but it's beer, man.
• 44:32
  Whatever you like, you like.
• 44:33
  You just want to be contrary.
• 44:34
  I know you.
• 44:35
  Right.
• 44:36
  Because your wife likes the other one.
• 44:38
  That's why you don't want to like that one.
• 44:40
  Right, yeah.
• 44:41
  Maybe, no.
• 44:42
  It's not about, I mean, Corona's good.
• 44:45
  I'm not a big light beer drinker.
• 44:47
  I just never really have been.
• 44:50
  And I just, Corona is, it's a good refreshing beer.
• 44:55
  There's nothing wrong with it at all.
• 44:57
  I just, Modelo has more flavor to me.
• 44:59
  It's a little more stout.
• 45:01
  And you know what I mean?
• 45:02
  It's not as, you know, Corona's just,
• 45:06
  I don't know how to explain it.
• 45:10
  You just got more flavor to me.
• 45:13
  Yeah, it definitely does for me too.
• 45:17
  See?
• 45:18
  And I really don't like beer much.
• 45:23
  Yeah, I rarely drink it either.
• 45:26
  Yeah, no, I just, I drink a lot of stuff.
• 45:29
  I mean, a lot of stuff, like a lot of different stuff.
• 45:32
  because I love vodka.
• 45:35
  That's right.
• 45:36
  If I want to have a drink,
• 45:38
  that's mostly where I'm going to get it.
• 45:40
  Wait, vodka and something.
• 45:43
  Like juices mostly.
• 45:44
  I just love that.
• 45:46
  And beer, for example,
• 45:49
  I just can't take it.
• 45:52
  It's just I don't know the flavor.
• 45:53
  I just don't like it.
• 45:55
  Yeah, that's good.
• 45:56
  So what's your favorite drink with vodka?
• 45:59
  What do you like the most?
• 46:02
  it's funny because i met a lot of bartenders in this game and i just don't know how they're
• 46:11
  the drinks are called it's one and a half like it's oh yeah you yeah you you got me there
• 46:22
  i always forget the word for that fruit um constantly saying it's been right use
• 46:29
  uh uh it's with the aranda no juice like those little red thingies
• 46:41
  it was what again what was the the spanish word for it
• 46:45
  aranda no aranda no i i don't know i'm not sure what that is
• 46:51
  i mean it's just it just has that use and just like just pure vodka that's the way i like it just
• 46:59
  I don't know, one quarter of vodka, like a strong drink, but just pure, pure juice with it.
• 47:08
  Juice, yeah. All right. Vodka's great.
• 47:11
  Blueberries.
• 47:12
  Oh, blueberries. Arandano. Okay.
• 47:15
  Oh, yeah.
• 47:16
  Now I know.
• 47:17
  Blueberry juice. Okay.
• 47:18
  We actually just picked a boatload of blueberries. We've got now, I think, 16 blueberry bushes out there.
• 47:27
  I'll remember that now
• 47:33
  I'll never forget that
• 47:34
  Now I have to try that
• 47:37
  I'm going to have to try that at some point
• 47:39
  Here we call it
• 47:41
  Here we have drinks like that
• 47:43
  We call it Azulitos
• 47:44
  That is just a huge blue drink
• 47:48
  Nice
• 47:50
  It just leaves your mouth all blue
• 47:52
  That's awesome
• 47:55
  you're drunk and blue yeah there you go so have you been drinking no
• 48:04

• 48:20
  i kind of want to go to the movies to watch the
• 48:28
  i don't know what's the name on english i'm sorry i just way too mexican that's okay um
• 48:38
  it's about a guy that is an accountant i think that's the name of a movie they're an accountant
• 48:46
  to okay all right with you're gonna go see yeah i really want to watch that all right and take
• 48:55
  your girlfriend with you he and my my girlfriend lives in the united states oh no like she just
• 49:02

• 49:08
  pretty often but yeah it's mostly my family and i i just take my siblings to uh movies like they
• 49:17
  just like to go with me a lot that's really cool how many uh how many siblings do you have
• 49:24
  how many i have one i have one brother that is 12 and my sister that is bigger than me yeah the one
• 49:35
  that she taught me about the game.
• 49:40
  Very cool.
• 49:42
  You guys tussled when you were younger?
• 49:45
  Did she smack you around a little bit?
• 49:50
  Did you fight?
• 49:51
  Yeah, she has a really tough personality.
• 49:57
  It's funny because the first team we got on
• 50:00
  was a German team.
• 50:01
  And we don't know a bit of German.
• 50:08
  I mean, I know a little bit, but back then I just didn't know anything.
• 50:13
  And we were in this just German thing.
• 50:15
  And we were having fun for some reason.
• 50:19
  Very cool.
• 50:21
  Very cool.
• 50:22
  All right.
• 50:23
  Well, I think we had 20 minutes before and we've got 34 now.
• 50:27
  So I think we're about ready to wrap things up.
• 50:30
  but we have one question we ask everyone.
• 50:34
  So one person, only one from the War Dragons community,
• 50:39
  who would you give a shout out to?
• 50:41
  So it has to be only one, right?
• 50:46
  Well, it should be my girlfriend, right?
• 50:51
  She used to play as well,
• 50:55
  and she helps me a lot with the whole CF thing.
• 51:00
  since she is American.
• 51:02
  Her English is way better than mine.
• 51:05
  So she just helps me
• 51:06
  a lot with that.
• 51:09
  And
• 51:09
  I will, I mean, there's way more
• 51:12
  reasons for it, the shout out for her.
• 51:15
