2:19
I mean we are coming up to August. That is the time where we
2:22
all all the podcasters get together and we have the yearly podcaster draft. Now
2:30
I believe that that is not true because I'm still on a podcast. Yeah,
2:36
you were drafted to this one. I drafted you. Apparently people like
2:40
your complaining or something. I don't know, you know, it's just sheep
2:44
matches my energy, bro and I like it. But we did a thing
2:51
on Thursday. What is are these just these all made up numbers in here
2:57
arrived one eighteen and eighteen. I was there. Oh that was the temperature
3:01
in Las Vegas one hundred and eighteen degrees when I arrived in Vegas on Thursday.
3:08
If there was only a way to cool yourself down with something, yeah,
3:13
maybe told me about drinking water. That would have been helpful. Water
3:17
alcohol, totally water alcohol. This is where you got to drink more beer.
3:25
Hm. There was a lot of hard liquor, some soakey Yeah.
3:32
Yeah, there was a lot of a lot of alcohol, not a lot
3:37
of water. That's not a healthy thing to do. You know what you
3:39
want to know what else doesn't have a lot of water in it? Sushi
3:44
fish out of water, that's literally what it's called. And you went to
3:47
have sushi. I mean it's like salt water, right, so probably like
3:52
but you're not helping your case the soy sauce, one of that low sodium
3:58
ship. I want all the sodium. Oh yeah, who do you go?
4:02
Who'd you go to a sushi with? That was my wife? My
4:06
wife was there, his best friend. So we actually came in the previous
4:12
Saturday and rented a car. It was only one hundred and sixteen when we
4:17
landed on that Saturday. We ran in a car, drove up to Lake
4:23
Tahoe to visit my sister, her husband and their their little baby. So
4:31
it's how little is the baby eleven months? Oh jesus, So it's like
4:36
fresh out. Oh basically, yeah, it's pretty hilarious. Like I got
4:42
a cute video of her drinking out of a straw, which she now now
4:47
she doesn't understand what straws are for, so like she like drinks it and
4:51
just spits it out of her mouth. So like it's basically like just normally
4:56
baby behavior. Yeah, yeah, weird story. Dras Score does the same
5:00
thing. I don't know, Oh, Thursday night, maybe I was.
5:05
I don't know. I don't know. Well that Wednesday we recorded, Yeah,
5:12
it was Wednesday we recorded. You were half in then, so if
5:14
you just didn't stop, Oh yeah, well I was still I was still
5:17
like Tahoe at that point, all right, I was. But we had
5:24
yeah, we had gotten dinner, gotten some drinks, and then at the
5:28
hotel they had some they have like a houtel we stayed at has like uh
5:33
like a breeze like attached to it and uh so so we had spears and
5:42
then you know, I'm in the hotel room just well you guys heard having
5:45
a good ass time. Yeah. So so okay, so you got in
5:48
the notes Cosmopolitan. Did you stay in the Cosmopolitan? No? No,
5:53
no, we stayed a drink the Cosmopolitans name of a established a finess in
6:00
Vegas. Yeah. Yeah, it's one of the newer casinos there. I
6:04
never no, no, we should go to Vegas, but I should.
6:12
Wow the No, we stayed at Alexis Park, that's where that's where the
6:17
event was. But we went to the Cosmopolitan and went to this this bar
6:25
called the Ski Lodge, which is like hidden behind this like secret door kind
6:30
of situation. Yeah, you know, I like that goofy shit. So
6:38
so yeah, we got in there and it was all like nineties themed ski
6:42
Lodge, so uh, you know, the servers are in their like ski
6:46
outfits and the you know nineties ski outfits, so like lots of fluorescence,
6:54
lots of fluorescent colors and triangles. Yep, yep, up up exactly.
6:58
You got the vibe right there. I know I lived the vibe, bro.
7:01
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm a nineties baby all day.
7:08
Born in eighty seven, grew up in the nineties. Yep. And
7:11
if it was my Jeff, Now, if we still had our Vegas channel,
7:17
you'd be able to see this picture I took of this yetti which wandered
7:24
through in a bikini. Uh, this bikini clad yetti that wandered through the
7:29
bar. So that was fun and had a few drinks and then Tobin was
7:38
like, I did not I did not save the yetti picture. That one
7:41
is not on my phone. That one's on my phone. So I guess
7:44
I could be I could go go get that. But yeah, like Tobin's
7:51
looking for the place, you can't find it because it's like behind some secret
7:55
door. So I have to go like find him, but he can with
8:00
us. We drink some more you know, alcohol not water. Who wants
8:05
to drink water? Right? So finally after I guess I didn't mention all
8:13
the soaki you were drinking at the sushi place. But AnyWho, so we
8:16
were like, oh, let's let's let's walk around. So we go.
8:18
We wander over to the Venetian and end up this place called the Juliette Room.
8:28
And they must have some problem with people like just dodging checks because like
8:33
you have to like give them your credit card. There's like a minimum charge
8:37
and whatever. But whatever. At that point I was like whatever, So
8:43
so we have a bunch more drinks there and it's pretty late, so of
8:48
course then they're serving no water by the way at the Venetian. So AnyWho,
8:56
we we get uber home, which of course takes forever or pick us
9:00
up because everybody and their brother some show just let out right and everybody in
9:03
their brother is getting getting a vehicle. So we we right around this hot
9:11
parking garage one hundred and whatever degrees. Finally we get in the Uber.
9:15
We're like driving home, starting to like not feel so great. So that's
9:18
a good sign. Right, We pull up to the hotel and I like
9:26
go to get out right, and I stand up out of the Uber and
9:31
like the whole world just like spins, and I just like fall just fall
9:37
on the on the sidewalk there right at the hotel. You passed out.
9:45
No, I didn't pass out right, so I definitely think it was a
9:48
heat stroke. I don't know, yes, yeah, public service announcement,
9:52
don't not drink water when it's one hundred and eighteen out and drink a lot
9:56
of booze at the same time, like hydrate yourself off. It's got paid
10:01
and every other drink put a put a water in there, you go.
10:05
I definitely described it as passing out. I mean I caught myself. I
10:09
landed on my hand and then my shoulder didn't hit my head, so that's
10:13
good. Uh So then I laid there for a moment because like I was
10:16
going through like the systems diagnostic right, It's like, okay, is like,
10:22
am I gonna throw up? Nope, not gonna throw up? Right?
10:24
Am I dead? Nope? Not dead? All right? Anything seriously
10:28
injured? Nothing seriously injured. And I'm like describing if dead break else,
10:41
if it's like a float chart. Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. You're
10:48
like, yes, I can have another drink. So so I'm like I
10:52
need to, like I do I have some power rate in the fridge like
10:56
back in the back of my room. So like at some point I was
11:00
like that's what I need. So I just like jump up and I like
11:03
bolt through the through the the lobby and like like Sydney's like hey, like
11:13
I just like point just like run past, like run all the way to
11:18
the the hotel room so I could go just like start chugging powery and water
11:22
and whatnot. And yeah. Yeah, so public service announcement don't uh,
11:31
I think she should be on the giveaway cards next next vault tour to maintain
11:37
hydration. Yes, there you go, There you go, and I'll what
11:41
I'll do is I'll glue a desani to like a bottle of jack and just
11:46
hand a pair out to everyone. What do you think? Sure? Why
11:50
not? Let's get it. Let's get in there, let's get in a
11:56
Friday. Right. We don't know how many people were there for a sealed,
12:00
but we're gonna go. I know how many there were sealed? There
12:05
was sixty nine players for sealed. There were sixty nine players. Very nice,
12:09
nice remember and that's why I remember. Okay, you want to know
12:16
what never I Wasna Sae? You wantn't know why she remembers because he's a
12:18
dirty, dirty boy. Mm hmmm. Accurate, accurate, sixty nine players
12:26
for a sealed Teriaki, Your not ites never made any sense to me.
12:31
What's what's KARAOKEI? Yeah, that's what we had for lunch. Yeah,
12:35
there's just everybody who's going to Karioke place. So it was just up the
12:37
street, like there was a lot of Tarioki. It's madness like we have,
12:41
Oh, it's madness. Okay, yeah, okay, it's very cheap.
12:52
How was your sealed situation? What was your deck? Like? How'd
12:54
you do? I went for too. I opened properly good gr geistoids.
13:03
I had like double in here somewhere, I had a wins, it had
13:07
some other stuff that was good. The Brobnar had one brick Nasty one shock
13:13
Herder one caciapas Riot one Memorialized the Fallen, and some other creatures that were
13:20
just there to punch things. So like that combo worked well where I just
13:26
kept rebuilding my brobnar burstthand with my geistoids, and then I had this really
13:33
iffy star alliance with what I took it because it had like two les and
13:39
are not two leaves at two Garcia's at a pentacorder because that was the whole
13:43
amber control I had was that of Memorialize. There's no Ember control. Don't
13:48
you know how to play g are yot? Clearly not because there's no Ember
13:54
control in gr It's gas to the ground. Well, I played two gas
13:58
houses and try to do more gas, more gas, all gas. I'm
14:05
gonna guess that's one. What one sealed is all gas. I don't actually
14:11
know. We don't have the list. Yet we're waiting on an article from
14:15
a certain company to uh give them more than one day. One day.
14:24
It has not been it's been four whatever, don't worry. It'll come out
14:30
tomorrow. It'll come out tomorrow right after we finished recording so we could do
14:33
two weeks worth the episodes on it. They're always thinking of those those gay
14:41
always think, how are they going to stretch this ship show out another week.
14:43
I know we appreciate it. Sheep and play sheep. You were frolicking.
14:50
I heard well so as Dick said, he over indulged on on Thursday.
14:56
Yeah, like, I actually don't remember what my record was for sealed
15:01
like I was like looking back at it. No, my decks weren't that
15:07
good. I'm just looking at them. They're not. Yeah, I didn't
15:09
have great options. I know entire channel in the the AC team channel.
15:15
You I think you went on too right. You said you'd pulled straight POOPU
15:18
kaka. No, I didn't go to I didn't. I don't know hold
15:22
on. I thought it was in here. Listen. It's been a long
15:26
week for some of us. It's been a long month. July has not
15:31
really gone over well. I don't know, but basically Draft Coops is like,
15:39
there will be no experience jazz car experience Friday night was going to bed
15:46
super early. The experience has been suspended for the Vegas Vault tour. It
15:50
was a great experience for me. You're all on your own. That's nothing
15:56
like showing up hung over to day one. Yeah, that was a bit
16:00
of it. Definitely drink some water. Folks showing up drunk to day one.
16:04
All right, we'll get you those decks and decklists when we have that
16:11
article, because we don't have that information, but we do know we do
16:15
have the art com So let's talk a little bit about ARCon on Saturday sixty
16:21
ish, the Sheep's experience at play I want to hear about this. Oh
16:27
okay, go ahead. So there was no draftcore experience, so we had
16:33
the dev dev experience and he had suggested this place at Luxor called play Right,
16:40
and it's not an arcade. It is an adult play experience, which
16:45
gets real blue sounding, but it was like balance games and they had like
16:49
where you could put the suit on and you jump on a trampoline onto a
16:52
target, onto a belcrow target. They had an adult bounce house and ball
16:57
pit they had some word games, they had like fast reaction games. They
17:02
had this full size operations style game. It's just a bunch of silly stuff
17:08
like that, and then of course high alcohol content. Listen, I was
17:12
going a total different direction with that. I'm glad this is where we landed.
17:18
Or maybe not. I'm not sure. Strip club, well what he
17:22
said adults, I was like, oh, but now there was nothing with
17:29
that. Actually, they specifically came around and said no sex in the bounce
17:33
house. Guys. It just like, looks back up, not far from
17:47
so what. But here's here's the funny part. The fact that they had
17:49
to come up and mention it to you means it's happened before. It was
17:55
not to our group. It was after we were leaving the bounce It was
17:57
another either way. The fact that they had to mention it means it's happened
18:03
after sweee the bounce house down. They're like, hey, guys, you
18:06
can't do this. It sounds like a cool place I'd go. It was
18:15
bos was good. It was. They also had this really spinny slide which
18:19
was quite excellent to try to crawl into when you're blazed drunk and then ride
18:26
a very twisty slide while you're very very drunk. That was That was good?
18:30
Who all is with you? So we had Dev Dev, myself,
18:36
Sydney, x Ray and x Ray x ray Ren. It wasn't busy with
18:45
some hookers or whatever now No, not yet. I also had composer and
18:52
uh Liquid squash us. So it was interesting because it is outside of Sydney.
19:00
It's not the typical group that I end up going out with, but
19:06
it was very excellent. Right on, can we get into Saturday? Now?
19:14
Some ARCon act? Shall I'm not hearing a no? Yeah? So
19:22
I was actually rested and sober, felt pretty good for our CODs. I
19:29
actually remember stuff. No, sixteen players for our con. I don't know
19:37
the actual number. Somebody. We're not going to name names, you know.
19:41
We wouldn't name a name like cloaking Car for deleting the channel and losing
19:47
all the data we had in there. We wouldn't do all. The Alliance
19:52
had sixteen possibly eighteen, not seventeen. There, We're definitely not seventeen.
19:57
They're sixteen or eighteen? Yeah, Well, I just I remember from the
20:02
stream because I was at home living vicariously through you all. But I don't
20:07
remember sixteen. I remember it as being eighteen. So I'm very curious to
20:11
see what ab actual numbers are that came out on when you know what's what's
20:15
just bizarre, right, and I know it exists, but like coming like
20:22
home from work, because I was at work and I popped into the stream
20:26
and I'm like, man, this thing is still going and it's there is
20:30
an hour two hours behind. They're two hours behind. There are two hours
20:34
and I thought it was two hours behind us. So I was just like,
20:37
this is And then I had to realize, oh, there's a time
20:41
differential. The days were long, they were long days. I at ten
20:47
eleven, I was saying, I know san Antonio ran super long too,
20:52
right, Like I mean, I'm right, but like even then, like
20:56
you're still you're still a couple hours behind us, so like it's like ten
21:00
thirty eleven here, right, but for you guys, it's like nine.
21:06
So it was it was a little it was a little strange watching that.
21:11
It was what it was. It was fine. Siaka takes down his second
21:14
sealed So congratulations to Siaka. Yeah, the shots events and Shaka wins the
21:21
two biggest can he put an h in his name for me, I'm gonna
21:26
right now, yeah, fanatically, but it is shot up. But yes,
21:30
back to back Baltimore and Vegas. So congrats, huge, huge undertaking.
21:37
Talk to me about Golden Tiki and Derek A. Wigsby from BGG.
21:42
Yeah, so well we uh, I don't know who these people are,
21:45
so somebody will call me a loser something. Well, do you know BGG
21:48
board game Geek? I really don't. I the first person I heard about
21:52
Board Game Geek was like a month ago when Sydney brought it up. I
21:56
don't know. You didn't know about board game geep before that. I know
22:00
the existed, but like I don't, I don't really pay attention to them.
22:03
All right, Fine, so they I guess they recently released a video
22:10
which looks like it's gonna be part of a series called te Forge. So
22:15
it's it's Derek and Candace from BGG and uh, they're just hanging out talking,
22:25
playing key Forge and drinking tea not booze because I guess you know family
22:29
show whatever wow YouTube terms and conditions. Yeah, so so t Forge.
22:38
Yeah, I believe Candace had an oolong and Derek had like a mint tea.
22:42
I believe as if I remember correctly when I was watching the video in
22:47
case you were wondering. So, uh but no, Earl Gray, huh
22:53
not this time. But she maybe you can make a recommendation to them.
22:56
I'm going to make a recommendation. You should, you should? So AnyWho,
22:59
this so he had done this video and and then Derek was there,
23:03
and it was super cool because, like, you know, that sort of
23:08
publicity for keyboardis I think would be awesome because I mean, as a board
23:15
gamer who got into this card game as a board gamer, like not as
23:19
a card gamer, like that avenue to me makes a ton of sense.
23:26
So I was actually I was running up in pasting Jeremy throughout. I was
23:32
like, hey, hey, do you know that guy that's Derek. You
23:34
should go talk to Derek. Have you talked to him? You should sponsor
23:37
him, right like I'm sure he was like, oh gosh, stop talking
23:41
to me, Jascar And then and then I did not say that. He
23:45
just kept going No, he didn't say that. He just kept on again.
23:49
But I imagine mentioned it a few times, so, uh, any
23:53
who, hopefully hopefully they do something there. But so I ended up chatting
23:57
a bunch with Derek, and I guess he knew who I was not because
24:02
of this cast, right because because he won all No, not because of
24:07
that, but he had watched some of the streams and yeah, so he
24:14
saw me commentating on on one of the streams or whatever. So, uh
24:19
so we were chatting and whatnot, and uh, you know, he was
24:23
talking about how he didn't expect to do that well he actually did pretty well
24:30
for his first and seal. Yeah, so he went pretty He did pretty
24:36
well for for sealed, right. I think I went two and two or
24:38
something like that or three and two, I don't remember. Anyway, the
24:45
uh I was chatting with him like on and off all weekend Saturday was probably
24:52
a much more engaging conversation for him, probably from me, but uh,
24:59
he end up I could just imagine day one. It's just you rambling,
25:03
oh yeah, and you're just you're you're hung over, router and or drunk,
25:07
so you think you're saying things, but it's just coming up something like
25:14
that. Yeah, but I might have gotten my grunts wrong, but you
25:17
know, Yeah, so I ended up being myself doctor Sheep, Derek aka
25:22
Wigsby and my wife going going out to the Golden tiki. We talked with
25:30
a whole bunch of folks. A bunch of folks were like, oh,
25:32
we're going to go to the Taco Bell because because Vegas has a taco bell
25:40
that has the baja blast like all like with booze in it. Somebody wanted
25:45
to go check that out. That's not the biggest thing. You can get
25:48
that. And there's Illinois there, so there's Okay, this is a bizarre
25:53
thing to hear because like these places exist, like down in Illinois you can
25:57
go to these things called their taco all cantenas. Yeah that's what this.
26:02
Yeah, and they serve alcohol allow any like. These are people are very
26:07
but we wanted to go to a tiki bar. So actually not interested in
26:11
baja blasts at all. What are you even putting baja blasts? I don't
26:17
know, So we don't care. Okay, So there was actually supposed to
26:22
be a new tiki bar opening that weekend. What is your obsession with tiki
26:27
bars? Well, rum is the best. Yeah, you can get rum
26:33
anywhere, like the no no no. This is like saying you can get
26:38
beer anywhere and you go on there, like would you like Miller, like
26:42
bud Light that's exactly. But that's but, but you can get a beer,
26:48
but like still, wookie, I'm just probably would have been hydrated,
26:56
sponge granted, thank you. So so right, we were so the I
27:06
think the place was called the the Glittering Gulch Tiki. So I was like,
27:11
look at this place up, it's supposed to open, and we're gonna
27:15
go there check it out. I was chatting with Dev Dev He's like googling
27:18
it. He's like, are you sure there's a tiki bar. There's some
27:21
other glittery gulch that was a newty bar. Uh, I guess glittering gulch,
27:29
you know anyhow, so sorry, so yeah, yeah, so we
27:37
but that we find out I do some investigation because the website isn't clear,
27:42
but checking out Instagram and and Reddit and whatnot. So it wasn't wasn't yet
27:48
open. So calling Audible is like, well, I've been to a few
27:52
tiki bars in Vegas and the Golden Teki is my my favorite. Delicious,
27:56
got good drinks, good food, and the four of us wanted both.
28:03
So so we head over there and folks say they'll come beat us, and
28:07
we're like, sure, if you come beat us if not whatever and show
28:15
up, get some get some drinks. Uh. And they were they were
28:18
pretty delicious. The food was good and we just hung out with the all
28:22
the shrunken heads around us and uh, I don't know. I had a
28:26
drink lit on fire and uh, I don't know. It was tasty.
28:33
Do you remember what when you got their sheep? Uh? We started with
28:38
a cold coffee drink with just like, you know, coconut milk and coffee
28:42
and it was not alcoholic. Started like and then I switched over and you
28:48
know, went went straight to the painkillers. Nice. Nice. So one
28:55
of the things to take care of business is that how did your boys fair
28:59
in our on Saturday? I went four er on Saturday? You played Alliance?
29:07
Right? Oh yeah, okay, so you played Alliance. I played
29:11
your alliance, Dack, and would you like to hear about the experience.
29:14
Well, we're coming up to that hell that one second while we're here and
29:18
talking about board game geek. I know we kind of glossed over, but
29:22
both Candice and Derek are really really important for us kind of going forward across
29:30
multiple years. We've talked about the importance of marketing our game key Forge.
29:33
It is a phenomenal game and absolutely amazing community, but what is still missing
29:38
is a way to be able to reach out to people who haven't necessarily learned
29:42
about key Forge. That's what t forge and BGG offers. So BGG or
29:48
Board Game Geek, is the largest board game database collection service that's been around
29:53
for oh goodness, at least two decades, my guess, it has been
29:59
around for a very a long time. But you're looking at both Candice and
30:03
Derek. They are hosts that physically work for BGG and as a result,
30:08
they're running this series specifically about playing key Forge. In this case, the
30:14
first episode has been released, and we want, as a community want,
30:19
if you have not already done so, go in watch it, flag it,
30:25
like it, because that increases the ability for that video to be seen
30:30
and for information about our great game to be able to get out. But
30:34
it also needs it also needs to just be watched. I hate that,
30:38
I agree, but I'm on your fire, but it is the least watched
30:47
on their channel now. If not, but if i'm if I'm running right
30:56
and I'm seeing all my other chan all my other content doing anywhere between the
31:00
forty and fifty thousand views right on any given day, and then I look
31:07
at this one and I go, oh, twenty, they're a business too.
31:14
Well, when I last looked, it was like nineteen and change.
31:17
That's when I last looked, and this was a few days ago, so
31:22
it might be it might be much higher by now. It's got two point
31:25
one thousand views, the one next one thousand views, yeah, yes,
31:33
two thousand, one two thousand and one hundred views, yes, yes.
31:38
The one next to it has, which is not key Forge, has two
31:42
thousand, eight hundred views, So it's it's it's in the same realm.
31:47
But again, you're looking at some stats. That's not a point none of
31:52
what I'm trying what I'm trying to say, because I didn't really get to
31:55
finish, But point, thank you, it is that just going to watch
32:00
it is very important because if they see it in floundering, they're just gonna
32:05
pull it. That's not excuse me, that's not something we want. Yes,
32:08
but not exactly how BGG work talking to Derek. But it is critical
32:16
you watch it if it's gonna stay around for a long time, because the
32:21
other thing is the content creators just don't care. Nobody watches it either,
32:24
all Right, so the first episode has them playing Wins of Exchange. They
32:30
put in some nice commentarians and nice on the facts. There's some fun things.
32:32
It's it's a worthwhile watch, and that's what I want to be able
32:37
to point out. As a board game player myself, I do think that
32:42
many key Force players have come and could come from board games versus our standard
32:49
traditional card game line, and so this is a really important item for us.
32:54
Yep. I know that Derek mentioned that his boss was pretty positive about
33:00
it, So I think if the numbers back it up, we could see
33:05
good things. Yeah, or or GG could sponsor it with some sweet GG
33:10
dollars that would be but a lot. I mean, he's got like four
33:15
and a half dollars, So like, just give some of those four and
33:19
a half over slip them with five. Yeah. Yeah, all that money
33:22
they've been given to us they can send over there. Now do you know
33:25
what? Tell you what double it? Yeah? Yeah, you know what
33:29
I'll match? Yeah, Well, I will go ahead and say that.
33:35
What we can go ahead and do is oftentimes with Kickstarter events, they will
33:39
run something in the backgrounds that is a giveaway, and that is something that
33:44
could be an option that then could be drawing more attention to the idea of
33:51
keyboards. Keyboards again, is a game that's been out for a while,
33:53
so being able to see, hey, here's a new company, here's the
33:57
new release, even with it being our second sets, that would be important.
34:00
Yeah, all right, let's go. Also, Okay, well in
34:06
the lives in our live show notes, Darcy Jeremy just left. But there
34:12
were fifty two for Arkhan, so we actually do have a number in eighteen,
34:15
he said, is what was there for Alliance? Okay, I can
34:17
go ahead and actually say that sixty was really wrong. I don't know.
34:22
I told you stop to lead our channel. Look, he was counting heads
34:27
and drunk, so he might have counted a couple of doubles. Yeah,
34:31
so let's uh, let's move I've lost my mouse cursor. Let's move into
34:36
Alliance. How sheep you played Alliance? How did you fare an Alliance?
34:43
I think my official ranking was actually ninth at one and two, but I'm
34:47
not certain one and two and I did not win? What when so I
34:57
played? I played the dack I played in Sis that made top cut.
35:02
First game, I was player one. I played whatever card and then they
35:13
took a turn and they were playing a colone of Sydney Stack, so they
35:17
were like, I gore z y x Helperbot, bounce it all back.
35:22
I gores zyx helper Bot total recall, I gos zyx helper Bot, like
35:30
some combination of that stuff. Right, that's their turn, wine, and
35:32
I'm like, h and my my hand is all Star Alliance, which if
35:38
you ever looked at our Alliance stack that we've been playing around with, doesn't
35:45
deliver right in the early game. So I played some cards and then they
35:52
took their next turn, and they, basically because with the Zyxes they were
35:58
able to re archive the cards bounced their logos things, and I couldn't kill
36:01
their logos things. So at the end of that turn, duck in hand
36:07
essentially because it's a Martian Generosity key abduction deck. Now he had to cycle
36:09
at the keep ductions. So I had forged no keys, and I'm like
36:13
looking and you know, like I could kill that and do whatever. And
36:17
then I played a few more cards. I think I played a total of
36:22
seven cards that game. And then his next turn, he because I couldn't
36:25
kill the logos board because I just didn't draw anything else, gonna kill lowest
36:30
burred my first seven cards and I looked at her whatever it was, you
36:35
know. The next turn was totally recall to get all the amber off the
36:38
guys right and then laying with help er bot a full moon lay all that
36:46
stuff out. Choda bounced, Joda bounced, Yoda dun. Yeah. Yeah.
36:52
Turn three seven cards played very, very exciting, so where you were
36:58
increase in the number of turns for Alliance from San Antonio, That's what it
37:01
sounded like that I got to experience. And then I played, uh,
37:06
Maggie. Maggie had a cool scholar spam deck, but that scholar spam just
37:09
doesn't quite play into what I was doing well, so I did get a
37:15
win there, and then I played I Think is it's dustin the deleted channel,
37:21
which I still had the picture. He is the first winner and first
37:23
signer of the A C Shredderbuntain, but that was the next day. This
37:29
day he was just that damn bb Moray dude who whooped my ass an Alliance,
37:35
which he did, and he was al he was the guy who played
37:37
first. Sorry he was my first round and the third round I had to
37:40
play Cat Morrow and turn one was shopping spray discarding two nybors into her discard
37:47
and some other stuff, and then turned two was put the whole deck out.
37:52
You're welcome. Yeah, that was my equedun pod that I actually sold
37:59
to ole off games and then all off sold to tomorrow and the second place
38:04
at this event. And I only say that because they were pinging me that
38:07
morning and I always checked my messages. Otherwise that deck would not have existed
38:15
for that tournament. But as well, but I remember your day and Sydney
38:20
so so on. On Cat's second turn, ybore combo it's prospector so as
38:28
a whole board and can draw chooses to just befuddle me. Actually potentially made
38:32
a mistake I could have capitalized on. I don't know how it would have
38:36
worked out. It would at least been an interesting game because she befuddled me
38:40
into Mars, where my deck has a plan ten. So potentially I could
38:46
have planned ten and taken all of her tokens. You would have taken most
38:52
of the deck I would have take, which actually I don't know if that
38:54
would have worked out, because she had selectively picked a few cards to keep,
38:59
so she might have still just been able to cycle with like the twelve
39:02
cards or ten cards that were left in the deck, whatever it was.
39:07
But that didn't happen. So I said okay, and then she just cycles
39:13
Token of Appreciation three turnings the next turn and says good game, and I'm
39:16
like, yep, that's that's how this works. And that was also I
39:20
went first played like I think I only played five cards that game. I
39:24
played like three A and then I didn't even actually play my next turn,
39:29
right because I'm my I played my first real turn. Then I watched her
39:32
put all the tokens out, and then basically I just talked through the game
39:36
like so you can do this and this and this, which means you just
39:38
cycle that card to win. I'm like you just it's also a corner of
39:43
the market. It was like you just cycle the corner of the markets and
39:45
went through a couple of amber and control that way. I can't beat that.
39:51
And it's like, oh, Token Appreciation. I'm like, oh yeah,
39:53
you said okay, can see so I didn't if we didn't even,
39:58
I was just like, yeah, this is done. You don't need to
40:00
it works. This is all over. Oh Wes, So you had fun
40:05
playing alliances? What I heard? Uh, you know, what. I
40:08
was very hungover from play, so I was pretty satisfied to be done and
40:17
go take a net. So you finished ninth out of eighteen. There you
40:22
go. Yep, But ark On I do have an ARCon story. After
40:27
asking half a dozen people to play fraud, I could find nobody who would
40:32
take fraud off me. And then I just walked into line, into the
40:37
line as people are lining up to sign up for ark On. Towards the
40:43
back of the line, I'm just like going, who do I know?
40:45
Who do I Who would I hand fraud to and not worry about? And
40:46
I ran into Elliott. He's from like the Colorado area Matth and Love and
40:52
he he plays key forards like five times a year or something like. He
40:57
comes out to a couple of big events. He doesn't really show up the
41:00
locals. So I was just like, you want to play fraud? And
41:02
he's like, well, it's better when I got so sure, So he
41:05
took fraud and went four to oh day one ARCon with Fraud. After his
41:08
he never touched the deck in his life, really, he went four oh
41:13
with fraud on day one. Did you not hear the story about how he
41:16
ended up picking it out? Too. He happened to be over on the
41:22
West coast, over in Seattle, where he had played last year, and
41:25
he's like, man, I wonder if there's still a vault going on,
41:29
and he looked it up. He's like, ah, there's a Volts in
41:30
Vegas. And he just picks a ticket up and came out the next week.
41:35
So he was just gonna play his best deck there. That's awesome.
41:37
That's what I love to see. And then I got some some dirty looks
41:43
and some thanks for letting somebody play fraud and listen to it. But it
41:50
was good. Let's talk a little bit about that Arkon. We do have
41:53
a top eight for Arkhon seven Room Reminders decks. Yep, we're fraud.
42:05
So this this is it. Fraud is now the deck that Ghostcalousy gets used
42:09
as an excuse to not fixom reminders because they like, look at this,
42:15
this stupid coder deck one an event and top cuts like secret NDErs isn't broken.
42:23
So the other point in in which I want to uh just I just
42:30
want to point this out real quick. Let's see one, two, three,
42:35
four, seven, seven guys decks. I'm not worried about Mars seven.
42:45
Mars that's crazy. I seven guys, seven Mars one one logos deck
42:54
well right, used to be logos but but logo logos isn't in gr in
43:00
the on right now in frauds. So yes, that makes sense. And
43:05
Geistoid is your new logos. So you also six out of eight have both
43:10
Geistoid and Marsh. Yeah. Yeah, Mars real good. Mars is real
43:17
good. I agree, So do the operation as you will buy more grimmer
43:24
miners. Well, Mordecai being the deck that had Geistoid unfathomable and on tamed
43:30
and not the Mars. Yes there was. There was only one that did
43:34
not have have the both the combo but Flaming Hobo wins Arkon Congress and random
43:46
Joe winning alliance Dakota Control Coda control deck yeap what what control the week?
44:00
Was arrested control? Yeah, it's for control of the week. Uh.
44:04
Shadows was actually the third house, so logos shadows and then yes, the
44:12
disk and it has to have discs control of the weeks. So more to
44:17
come on that. We'll go over decks as we get them, probably here
44:22
shortly. But flights home what what? What? What? What? Okay?
44:29
It says flights home dot dot dot and if we're talking about flights home,
44:32
I'm sure it was something enough interesting enough to have put in the notes.
44:37
So let me get our experience first. Or do you want to talk
44:42
about the weather here at home? Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna say the
44:45
weather at home. So the weather here in the central because you guys were
44:49
flying into Illinois that night, which was Sunday night, and then Monday when
44:52
you guys actually landed Monday nights, we had ten different tornadoes that had been
44:59
touchdown kind of in that area. So we had some pretty severe weather that
45:04
was happening and that really caused issues. What did you guys see from Vegas
45:08
with your flights, because it was definitely impacted. So at nine, a
45:15
little after nine, we were rolling up to to fly out. We're going
45:20
to about to go through our TSA pre check and side and I phone buzz
45:24
saying our flight was canceled. Done done done. Yeah. We were all
45:30
going up together and they're just like before we go through security, they're like,
45:35
wait a second, we don't have a flight anymore. We're like,
45:38
oh, all right. So we're like, who that sucks for them?
45:43
I guess we're the lucky ones. But we were not the lucky ones because
45:49
we go through security, my wife and I and get all the way up
45:52
to the gate getting there, you know, waiting for playing and whatnot.
46:00
They're like, ah, you know, just a just a little delay,
46:05
two hour delay. We're just waiting for the the crew to come in.
46:09
Two hour delay ain't fine, So you wait two hours nothing, We're gonna
46:17
wait another hour for the crew. At this point, it's like they know
46:21
where the crew is, like, oh, they're in Phoenix. I'm like,
46:27
wait, they're they're in Phoenix right now. How are they gonna get
46:30
here at an hour on a plane? Duh? Like so an hour goes
46:37
bye, Oh, we're gonna delay to another hour. It's like, oh
46:40
my goodness. So this keeps going on till like two thirty in the morning,
46:46
and so two thirty in the morning or so they're finally like, yeah,
46:52
we're gonna delay the flight until eight thirty in the morning. So if
46:59
people line up, will give you like hotel vouchers. So it's like,
47:02
oh, so everybody lines up, line's not moving three o'clock. The guy's
47:09
like yeah, so the system won't issue vouchers. But if you if you
47:16
got to stay at a hotel. You could like go to the website and
47:21
like request reimbursement. I'm like, oh what, Like it's like past three
47:25
am. I'm like, I'm gonna go to the hotel. Right by the
47:29
time I get there, how much sleep I'm gonna get in order to get
47:31
back here for an eight thirty flight and then pray that they reimburse me.
47:37
So we decide we're just gonna sleep what we can in the terminal, So
47:44
with like the worst you know, sleep right there the terminal with a bunch
47:49
of other folks. Some woman had an air mattress, though she like blew
47:52
it up in the aisle, like prepared. Yeah. I was like,
48:00
I was like ten to be like, hey can I join it? It
48:05
looked pretty comfortable, but I thought better making that suggestion. So with your
48:12
wife being there and all, you know, maybe she could have joined it
48:15
too. It's a lot of fun. So when this show goes off,
48:20
in just the show, so so of course eight thirty rolls around and of
48:27
course what happens, Oh it's delayed again, right, So I don't think
48:32
we is delayed multiple times. I don't think we got into the air till
48:36
like eleven, right, and so then finally get home Lands and by the
48:45
time I get home, it's like almost eight pm, and I'm like,
48:50
oh, I'm so exhausted. So I just had to like basically shove something
48:54
into some food in my face and and go to sleep. It was a
49:00
rough, rough day of traveling. Yeah, ours was bad, but at
49:07
least like clear bad because we got canceled and we're on American and you like
49:13
go through an app and Sydney can get on a flight that I can't get
49:17
on. I have a cheaper ticket than her. I'm like, you know,
49:22
economy because I'm cheap and economy right, you know, yeah, yeah,
49:27
like economy slub and she's on something else I don't know, but she
49:30
can get flights that I can't get. We're like what that? What the
49:34
end the flight? The only flight it would actually let us book was midnight
49:39
on fundayol to fly to like Phoenix to fly home and get home at like,
49:49
I guess that one. It's gonna get us home at five thirty am
49:52
on on Tuesday. So maybe it was flyout seven to Phoenix and then midnight
49:59
at PHOENI to help, right, it was something awful like that, where
50:01
like it's a whole extra day, right, but it's a whole extra day
50:06
where you also are red eyeing it, so you essentially need Tuesday off work
50:09
or you're going to feel like death. So you know, we went down
50:16
and talked to a travel agent and like she was actually super friendly, really
50:21
worked with us. She booked us on that flight. She said, I
50:23
have you locked in for this, but then I used a priority code to
50:27
put you on standby for a flight that leads to Phoenix at noon. And
50:30
if you get on the flight at Phoenix at noon, then you might be
50:34
able to catch like this two thirty or four o'clock flight from there to Chicago,
50:39
right, But it's all stand by, So it's a crapshoot. That's
50:44
that's what we got to do is so we had to find a cheap hotel
50:45
room because we were not flying until the next day. And then we come
50:50
back at ten am. Did you go drinking by the way, No,
50:52
So we got we got back to a hotel area and then we checked in
50:57
with people at like ten fifteen at night, and nobody responded except Jeremy,
51:04
who was responding from his computer because he left his phone in Marcus's car.
51:08
So he had no phone, so he wasn't gonna go anywhere, and like
51:15
Josh was out celebrating his anniversary with his partner, Marcus was at some show.
51:21
Mammon was passed out. Like it's just like everybody had contacted. They're
51:25
all like nope, So we're just like fine, just like and we're up
51:31
at like five point thirty the next morning. Of course, because he didn't
51:35
go back to the nineteen twenty three. I heard stories about the nineteen twenty
51:38
three. Yeah, so after that was after the Golden Tiki, that's where
51:43
they were. But they only sent us a picture of the door, which
51:45
didn't look that interesting. So Dasco wanted to go to bed again because mister
51:50
Florah wanted to go to bed mister Furah, and I said I could go
51:54
to bed too because their pictures weren't that exciting. And then we then the
52:00
next morning, Sydney shows us the real pictures, as like you because they
52:07
look like they had a wild time. But anyways, so we don't fly.
52:12
We're on standby. We don't fly. There's the new stand by,
52:15
right, and they're like, there are no seats, it's overbooked. It's
52:20
stand by, right, so you're just waiting to see if anybody doesn't show
52:22
up, and then they call Sydney some other name and me, right,
52:27
We're like awesome, And as as Sydney's lining up, this guy comes running
52:30
up. He's like, I got a first first class ticket and he's being
52:34
a dickhead. He's like three minutes before the floyd explosed aboard. So they
52:37
like, they're like, no, your ticket's already been redistributed because you weren't
52:42
here, and you know, so he's going off and then they call me
52:45
and I'm like skating by this guy who's screaming at everybody, of course,
52:50
and then we walk down the ramp. We get to them, they're like,
52:52
oh, turns out there's allly one seat, so you'll have to you
52:54
know, like your group has separate. And it's like Sydney and aren't really
52:58
together, right, we're just travel together because of convenience. And it's like,
53:00
okay, So she gets on this plate at noon, I get to
53:04
go back up the ramp. I sit in Vegas until four forty, where
53:09
I do get on a stand by flight to Phoenix at like four and afternoon
53:17
Sydney. Sydney was waiting to get on stand by for our four o'clock out,
53:22
but they canceled that plane, so the next one was like the next
53:25
one is actually the plane I'm flying in on then goes on to Chicago,
53:30
so that I get into Phoenix. I get I get off the plane and
53:36
Sydney's in line trying to get us on stand by and they tell her we
53:38
can't go on standby because we're still in Vegas, right because we have Vegas
53:45
flights for seven pm. Oh this this this lady who's at the counter who's
53:49
stressed all hell right, She's like she's like, you're still in Vegas,
53:53
your flights haven't left. I can't deal with you. Go away. So
53:58
Sidney and I walk down to an other customer service right this this next flight
54:01
is leaving in like half an hour. We go down to the next customer
54:05
service guy and he's like, yeah, it's within an hour, so I'm
54:07
not allowed to do it anything. I'm like, sure, I understand.
54:10
Like it's a bad day. We're I'll just trying to do a CAD.
54:13
I'm just trying to understand what's going on because they're saying we can't fly because
54:16
we're hearing He's like that doesn't make sense. He's like, let me look
54:19
at that, and he clicks a few things and he kind of gives us
54:22
a look, and I'm like, oh, yeah, you know it's like
54:24
yeah, I'm just like it's okay, you know whatever. We'll we got
54:28
a flight at midnight, nothing else, like you guys are doing what you
54:30
can. And he's like click, click, click, and then he hands
54:32
us both tickets to the six o'clock flight. Nice. So we go back
54:36
down. I have a seat, so I go on the plane. Sydney's
54:38
ticket says see gate for assignment. So she goes up there and this bitchy
54:45
lady right from before, It's like, yes, that just means you're on
54:47
standby, and she's like no, it says I'm supposed to see you for
54:50
an assignment. She gives up this another look. She types up in the
54:52
computer. She gives Sidney kind of a dirty look, and I'm just standing
54:55
back. I'm watching the screen. There are green highlighted names if people are
54:59
flying stand by, and one of them be highlights. And Sydney gets a
55:02
seat. Nice. And then we flew home and I got home at three
55:08
thirty am instead of five thirty am, so It wasn't like a huge savings
55:13
in the end. But did you go to work on Yes, I slept
55:17
for four hours and went to work. He also came out to key Forge
55:22
that night too. I also got key Forge got wrecked. Oh yeah,
55:28
yeah, that was not a good deck. Nope. Did anybody even take
55:34
it home? Or is it still on the table. Actually, they had
55:37
the giveaway the weekend before and there was some guy just put it out of
55:42
that bile. We had a keyboard spoke good way to make people not want
55:45
to play this game. Here's some wretched trash. Hey. I wrote a
55:50
handwritten note that said we play Tuesdays and you should come out to play with
55:54
us and we'll teach you the game. Very nice of you, Okay,
56:00
but yeah, traveling out of Vegas was awful. I know he wasn't delayed
56:07
as much, but Josh got delayed, rob he got like diverted, or
56:14
he ended up in Detroit and couldn't get home. It's just about every flight
56:20
ended up delayed or a mess going out. It was. It was pretty
56:24
bad return trip. Well. I definitely, uh was very very sad being
56:30
here. I mean, we had some beautiful weather back home, but to
56:32
miss the amazing Vault tour to see all of our friends and family, to
56:37
see all the events that happened from Thursday and Friday as everyone was cheering in
56:40
and then amazing Vegas channel that is now deleted. Yeah, you missed the
56:45
best not a dress court experience ever. You know, I actually had this
56:50
because I was listening to that Baltimore recap and you guys did not meet up
56:55
once again. So apparently Dres, you and Sheep just cannot meet to have
57:00
a great drazz Core experience. That's that's what I'm hearing. Were how was
57:07
I gonna play? No, no, no, no no. You had
57:08
actually voice that you never end up showing up at the true God the good
57:15
Dras core experiences I always miss and this this year, uh well this Vegas,
57:22
this Vegas trip, Dras went to sleep and you had a different outing.
57:27
But again, the pictures were great, the actual numbers were really nice.
57:32
I do not miss the travel back and it really would have caused big
57:36
problems with the girls and my wife, So I'm not sad to have missed
57:40
that. But congratulations. And actually, as we're going through it looks like
57:45
Shaka who had won four seals, they have a star next to Mark h
57:49
so he has actually qualified for Worlds as the runner up. So they passed
57:53
them pass down. I did get my arc on trol fhee, so now
57:58
I have the trophy. It is lovely. All right, boys, You
58:08
know that it wasn't just one vault this past weekend though. I mean you
58:13
could literally have watched key Forge from multiple days straight as there was a Vault
58:20
tour that was happening over in Vietnam. Yeah. I think we have as
58:25
much information on. I mean, we do have some pictures. We have
58:30
pictures actually some great cosplay. I mean there was cosplay in Vegas. We
58:36
did get we did get assaulted by the Grim Reaper. Oh yeah, yeah,
58:40
somebody showed up. I just say it does not live up to the
58:45
cosplay that they had. And and help you Vietnam. Yeah yeah, that
58:52
one. That one a little bit more diverse. And again we'll go over
58:57
this when we go through the decks and talk about all the fun stuff.
59:00
That one only had six Grim Reminders in the top eight. A World's Collide
59:07
also made an appearance, and somehow away came in. Yeah, and this
59:16
was short sard Spawn of Space. So ninety one SaaS not bad there you
59:22
have that's one on one well, but I mean you got a picture that
59:28
that this has some tools there, so it was very interesting. Amber imp
59:32
you know double Amber imps. You get double pip pips, a lot of
59:36
repat, double helper bots, help from future self life, reliance to life
59:42
for double friend. Yep, double bread stealing shadow. Yeah, double Bread
59:47

59:53
which is in It's Gotta unlock Gateway Shooler which the t M t P Poltergeist
1:00:06
there, But it was interesting to be able to see. We also had
1:00:14
a friend who made it all the way over to Vietnam, so that was
1:00:17
really neat to be able to see who that was our german. Oh do
1:00:29

1:00:32
name last time and then I was corrected over at Worlds So well see,
1:00:38
just like my wife, nobody remembers these amazing, amazing moments. But Moss
1:00:44

1:00:49
still up for Vietnam or Ho Chi Min it's got a mirror minutes left.
1:00:55
Yeah, cars want to find the delete is so make it very very very
1:01:01
quick. But no, it was great to be able to see and I
1:01:07
love that community so awesome. Yeah, it's definitely cool to see that event
1:01:12
fire and everybody having a good time. So cool stuff actually in that you
1:01:19
have your YETI poster that you had reposted there. Oh, because I section
1:01:27
right Sunday said more pictures please. I just respotted to him with the yetti
1:01:30
dancing in a bikini with the dollar bills hanging out, and I was like,
1:01:36
oh, wait, so there's the YETI. I just assumed that was
1:01:40
typical drasscourn nonsense. Car goes there's a Yeti in a bikini. Duh,
1:01:47
isn't exactly the kind of like random picture you just have at ready. Yeah,
1:01:53
this is what I was doing at that time. I like that there's
1:01:58
money in the yetties kih. Yeah, that's that's amazing. There were thirty
1:02:02
three individuals that showed up for Sealed in Vietnam. Again, Riku, amazing
1:02:09
job on the actual like all the work that went in on the behind the
1:02:14
scenes, so absolutely amazing and astron phenomenal job. Being able to go ahead
1:02:20
and do commentaries so that we had it in English to be able to follow
1:02:22
along. So yes, I could actually follow both Vietnam early in the morning
1:02:28
and then Vegas later in the day and afternoon. Here's a slight pol just
1:02:35
a touch, just a little bit, ready, Okay, go for it.
1:02:39
The playmats that they received are in English. Yeah, well so,
1:02:45
just as is the official language of key Forge. Yeah, one and one
1:02:50
of the two. It will always be standard, I understand. But I
1:02:53
mean, if you're going to do a vault tour, what's this? There's
1:02:59
some new art that we can just go back to Z's advice, right,
1:03:05
which is if not lose. Yeah, that's nice, to be honest with
1:03:13
you. It's great advice for us, and we're we're halfway there. These
1:03:20
are so absolutely privileged man. Yes, yes, ware, and it's glorious,
1:03:27
